Daisy: (Eyes Widened in Genuine Surprise) You got DIGITS!?
Chun-Li: (Eyes Widened in Complete Shock) FROM MORRIGAN OF ALL PEOPLE!!?
Dedede: (Smiles Brightly) Indeed I have! All this time I thought I would never that girl again. (Chuckles Wholeheartedly) But look at lady-luck finally handin' me a bone for once today!
Samus: (Raises an Eyebrow) Finally?
Cloud: The tow truck took De's Wheelie Cycle away earlier.
Dedede: And it was all AFTER it broke down on me in the middle of road. AGAIN!
Samus: Seriously? That's like the third time that happened this week
Luigi: You think it may be time for you to get a new motorcycle at some point? I heard they're more cheaper these days.
Dedede: ('Sigh') I might as well do so at this point. (Casually Shrugs) But it's no biggie'. (Went Back to Grinning Again) As soon as I get me a new ride, I'll be taking my potential honey to all sorts of places, satisfaction guaranteed~ (Let's Out a Hardy Laugh)
Everyone: ('Sighs in Concern')
Dedede: Ah come on! Don't be sighing like that, y'all! I've been through crazier dates before and I've made all of out unscathed!
Daisy: Yeah. Mostly thanks to us saving your hide!
Dedede: (Turns to Daisy) Girl, what you talkin' about?
Daisy: Remember the time you dated some pirate girl named Syrup?
Flashback
Syrup: (Place her Hands under a Tied UpDedede's With a Seductive Smirk on her Face) Now~ Tell me more about your kingdomnd riches~ (Uses her Sword to Poke Dedede in the Stomach) Or you walk the plank.
Dedede looks down at the ocean him and the plank were hovering filled with sharks circling around amd jump up and dpwn from the area, before screaming for his life while the captain herself let's out an elegant laugh until Daisy German Suplexed her from behind, letting out a vicious battle cry.
Luigi: (Coming Out of Nowhere, Delivering the Countdown and Slamming his Hand Down on the Ship's Boardwalk While Wearing a Referee Shirt) One, Two, THREE!
End of Flashback
Dedede: ('Sighs a Bit Dreamingly') Yeah, that lady was smokin' hot for a good for nothin' pirate captain~
Daisy: DE!
Dedede: What!? I said Good For Nothin' Pirate Captain! Y'all hearing aid ain't working or something?
Samus: ('Sigh') Moving on, there's also that time with the witch.
Another Flashback
Grutilda: (Riding on her Magical Broom While Dragging a Tied Up Dedede on the Streets Along with Her) The only thing that will satisfy this uneventful date time, is taking this fat bird's wealth and prime! AHHHEHEHEHEHEH!!!!~
Samus: You're primeless ass is about get subdued if you don't get back here with our De!! (Angrily Chases the Witch Behind on Foot Along with Chun-Li, Banjo & Kazooie)
End of Flashback
Dedede: The witch bitch was crazy, but her rhyming game was top-notch, ain't gonna lie to ya.
Samus: (Scoffs While Rolling her Eyes) Yeah, for the first five minutes. It started getting real annoying after that.....
Cloud: Let's not forget about the aftermath of the date you had with that crazy surgeon.
Dedede: ('Sigh') Don't remind me......
Yet Another Flashback
Dedede: (Starts Waking Up) ...Huh? W-What the-(Frantically Looking Around in the Dark While Laying his Back on Something Metal and Strapping him Up Tightly) Who turned off all the lights?
??????: Oh. You're finally awake.
As the lights turn on revealing the room to be some rundown apartment, the former king of Dreamland looks up to see a woman with blue hair, wearing a nurse outfit and an eyepatch, with the name "Nurse Valentine" staring down at him seductive yet very dangerously, giving him the perfect cue to scream in horror.
Valentine: Now~ Tell me where it hurts-
Before the nurse could do anything, Tifa suddenly comes out of nowhere and punch her straight across her face hard enough to send her flying toward the other side of the room right before tackling her afterwards.
Cloud: (Rushes in and Looks Down at Dedede) De! You all right?
Dedede: (Shaking in Fear) I-I-I don't know, maybe!? Check to see if my body is still in one piece- (Suddenly Felt Cloud Punching his Leg) Ow!
Cloud: You felt that?
Dedede: (Glares at Cloud) Hell yeah I did! ('Sigh') I swear. Y'all soldiers punch too hard......
Cloud: Hey! (Points at Dedede) That's EX-Solider to you, ex-king.
Dedede: Soldier, Ex-Solider, who gives a shit? Just get me outta here before that crazy nurse come-
Tifa: (Punching the Daylights Out of Valentine in the Background) Don't. You. EVER. Kidnap. Our. King. And. Friend. Again. YOU HEAR ME!?
Dedede: (Eyes Widened at the Sound of Those Punches) .......Tif molly-whopping her ass, isn't she?
Cloud: Yep. (Starts Taking the Strap Covers Off of Dedede) She's been worried sick, you know?
Dedede: Uh-huh. Remind me to never piss her off again........
End of Flashback
Dedede: Her crazy ass gives every medical team in the globe a bad name......(Still Notices the Worried Looks on Everyone's Faces Before Sighing Again) Okay, listen, I know my dates gotten a lot more insane than usual, but Morrigan doesn't seem all that bad to me, at least in comparison to those wacky nutjobs that's for sure.....(Turns to Chun-Li) Chun, you had history with her before before, right? Has she does anything sinister under you watch? You know, besides doing all those succubus activities you mentioned?
Chun-Li: (Crosses her Arms While Reminiscing on the Past) No, actually. Despite her troublesome tendencies, she has proven herself to be a trusted ally countless times again. (Rolls her Eyes a Bit) Especially during those worlds hopping fiascos we kept getting dragged into.......
Samus: (Turns to her Girlfriend with an Impressed Smirk on her Face) Ah is that right?~ How crazy are we talking here? World ending crazy or the more random side?
Chun-Li: ('Sigh') Both. We were tasked to find the Portalstone and return it back to it's rightful owners which that, in it of itself, sounds a whole lot easier said than done in retrospect, but I digress for now. (Frowns a Bit a Dedede) Are you really sure you wanna go through with this ordeal, De? There's no telling what lies ahead for you two going forward.
Dedede: Yeah, it's a tall, risk making order go through for sure, but I think I'll be more prepared for whatever happens this time around, you know? So yeah, I'm sure. (Starts Rubbing The Back of his Head Back and Forth) I was gonna ask y'all to keep looking out for me if you want, but now I feel bad for dragging y'all into my crazy love life in the first place.
Daisy: (Happily Hugs Dedede Along With Everyone Else in the Room, Minus Cloud who is only Patting the atop of his Head) Nah, don't worry about all of that, you big lug. We're a family. We always got your back whether you ask for it or not.
Luigi: You have any when you're to text her? The Dine-in is about to close in the next few minutes or so.
Dedede: I'll text her a little later. I'm certain she already has a busy schedule in her hands knowing her profession.
Meanwhile at the Koop's Hot Springs
Morrigan: (Sighs Very Relaxingly as She Sits Down on Soothing Hot Tub) Finally~ Free from work at laaast~
Lilith: (Sighs While Sitting in Fron of her Older Sister) Sis, you've only worked in that place for five to six hours. It's couldn't be that long.
Morrigan: You don't know what it's like in there, Lili. The pestering customers, the grumpy, rude mannered manager yelling at your ear all morning, the excruciating pain you feel when you have to stand and walk around while you work for those amount of hours......
Lilith: (Puts on a Deadpinned Look on her Face) No one told you to wore those new heels of your all morning, Morrigan.
Morrigan: (Pouts at Lilith) But they look marvelous on me!~ I would do them a terrible disservice if I didn't have them on me today!
Lilith: Then wear them for an occasions then if you love 'em so much! It saves both of us the trouble.....
Morrigan: I'll wear them whenever I feel like wearing them, thank you!~
Lilith: (Rolls her Eyes) Still don't see how I'm supposed to be the immature one of this nutty family, but go off I guess.
Morrigan: Go off I shall! (Smiles Brightly) Especially now that I have brand new gentleman I may have fallen head over heels over!~
Lilith: (Eyes Widened) Already? What happened to that rich guy you were dating last year?
Morrigan: Who? Vega? (Turns Away) ('Ugh') I've long since been over him. Far too narcissistic for my liking and well being.
Lilith: (Simply Nodded in Agreement) Good. I never liked that creep from the beginning. He wouldn't stop seducing me and the other ladies whenever you're not around in the same area.
Morrigan: (Raises an Eyebrow) Is that right? Remind me to take care of him personally when we cross paths again.
Lilith: (Forms a Cheeky Grin on her Face) No need for that, sis~ I've kicked him in the jewels so hard that his eyes popped out. He won't be bothering for very long time~
Morrigan: (Smirks Proudly at her Little Sister) Good girl.
Lilith: Thank you!~ Now who's the lucky guy you're into now?
Morrigan: Dedede, the Ex-King Of Dreamland~
Lilith: (Eyes Widened at the Realization) ('Gasps') You that blue penguin guy in the Smash Family!?
Morrigan: The very same~ ('Sighs Dreamingly') Such a wonderful man he was, Lili~ He's handsome looking, hilarious, quite the charmer, his hair looks almost as gorgeous as mines, on the chubby side, but I don't mind one bit. In fact, I've started to gain an apperication for all things round and chunky these days~
Lilith: ('Sighs Dreamingly') Round and chunky~
Lilith smiles fondly as she daydreams about two of her romantic partners, Daisy and Luigi, seductively hip bumping one aother, showing off their big, round, plumpy rears while giggles respectively before reality starts coming back to her back to her like a boomerang
Lilith: (Quickly Shakes her Head Before Coming Back to the Topic at Hand) S-So Uh..('Clears Throat') You guys are gonna go on a date at some point?
Morrigan: I hope and believe so. It's our second time seeing each other in person though, so I think it would be in our best interest to take our newly found connection slow for the time being, no?
Lilith: (Forms a Teasing Smirk) Morrigan Aensland taking things slow for once? Biggest surprise I've seen in the New Years yet~
Morrigan: (Smirks Back at her Little Sister) Says the young woman in front of me who did with a plumber and a princess on the nice she first laid her eyes upon them~
Lilith: (Immediately Pouts at Morrigan) I've been coped up in our mansion for years now, SUE ME!! (Turns Away and Crosses her Arms While Blushing) Besides, it's not my fault they're both so cute, sweet, and sexy.....
Morrigan: (Giggles Softly) You are such a mess Lilith, you know that?~
Lilith: (Comically Glares at Morrigan) TAKES ONE TO KNOW ONE, HUSSY!
Morrigan: (Giggles Some More) Okay, okay, calm down already. We're supposed to be here to relax, remember?
Lilith: ('Sigh') Yeah, yeah....Let's get this R&R session over with so you can head back home and text your future boyfriend all day.
Morrigan: (Smiles Brightly) Sounds like a plan!~
Few Minutes Later
Dedede: Yo!
Dedede: Wanted to let you know its me textin' u
Dedede: De•De•De!✌
Morrigan: Hello, my darling King!~ 👑
Dedede: U mean former king, right?
Dedede: Cuz I still don't have my castle back.
Dedede: Or my Wheelie Cycle....
Morrigan: I know what you mean, you poor thing lol
Morrigan: Doesn't matter to me that you're royalty or not
Morrigan: You'll always be a King to me, my dear~ 😘
Dedede: .........Damn
Dedede: Not even a minute goes by and u making me blush already!?
Dedede: Has to be new record or somethin lol
Morrigan: Lmao I'm so happy I made you feel that way, darng!
Morrigan: Because from here on out, I'm going to do everything in my power to spoil you to the rotteness of all cords~
Morrigan: Figuratively of course 😉
Dedede: Well, bring it on then, little lady~
Dedede: I've been eating more sweets than a fat kid lovin' cake, I can take you on!
Morrigan: Challenge Accepted, Dear~ 😘 😘

An Important Lesson - One-Shot
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Pairing: Professor!Wanda x Fem!Reader (MINORS DNI - 18+)
Prompt: After years of rigorous study, you were nearing the end of your graduate program. Companionship had become a figment of your imagination, until your film professor caught your eye. Taking something from her desk, you hope you could catch hers- and you got more than you bargained for.
MINORS DNI - 18+
Tags: Who is Y/N I don’t know her, Dom!Wanda, Sub!Reader, Porn with plot, teasing, orgasm denial, vibrator use, thigh riding, Mommy kink, Professor kink (sparingly), no aftercare, slight dub-con, dumbification, praise, dom/sub dynamics, power imbalance (professor/student), age gap (Reader is 26 while Wanda is 34), brat taming if you squint. 
A/N: Holy balls, I did not realize smut was so hard to write. Major kudos to all who seem to do it so effortlessly! I know I envy ‘em. This is my first foray into writing this kind of fic (my university’s spring break has brought a lot of writing firsts), so if you have any feedback I’d love to hear it! This is also vaguely proofread! Wanted to do some practice before the evental sex in Unica Sempter Avis (Because USA is certainly an Abbreviation of All Time), and other ideas I’ve got cooking up. I'd love to write another part to this, if y'all would be down! Thanks y'all again!  Edit: An Important Lesson is getting a second part! Read a teaser here! >:)
Word Count: 2.5k - Read length: 9 minutes, 5 seconds.  Pictures aren't mine, credit to their owners! ~~~ 
The pen hadn’t been worth stealing, and yet here you were. 
Professor Maximoff’s classroom was overwhelmingly quiet, dark and empty with familiar rows of tables curved in a half arc around her desk, pushed off to the side. She’d always pace within the front few rows where you sat, and you’d have to crane your neck to keep her in view when you weren’t scribbling down paraphrases of what she said. She taught Advanced Film and Media Critique, which generally lended itself to analyzing the shit out of old TV shows. Maximoff was a difficult professor, but you weren’t looking for easy, especially in your graduate program. After a few years of working your ass off to make enough money, you’d wiped the floor with your bachelors and now you were vying for your masters, in your last few weeks of grad school. And you knew Professor Maximoff liked you, which didn’t make it so bad. 
You knew other things about her too - for instance, there was no way she wasn’t a lesbian. Whenever you’d raise your hand her eyes would snap to you, and you swear her face would curl into a smile that was beyond professional. You’d catch her staring in your direction during exams on multiple occasions (to be fair you did the same when she wasn’t looking, but that’s besides the point), and you swear up and down that she winked at you during your midterm. She’d hold onto your hand a little too long when you turned in papers, and always offered ‘tutoring’ sessions which you humbly declined in the beginning of the semester, your grade being nigh perfect in her course. Between that, the short nails, tailored suits, and the rings- oh, so many rings- there was no way your professor wasn’t gay, and possibly had the hots for you. Your studies had been your priority over companionship for so long,  And now, within a few weeks of your final, why not make a move?
Heist films had been the topic of last week’s lecture, and so nicking something small would be a good segway, right? You’d return it to her tomorrow after class, mention something flirty (perhaps about stealing her heart), and see where it went. If you were lucky, you’d have her number by the end of the course, and perhaps take the older woman to coffee after your final exam. You’d bring her to the movies, but that might turn into more of a lesson than a date. 
As you’d pluck a pen from one of her desk drawers, you notice that it was slightly heavier than most. You clicked it once, then a second time- and nothing happened, so it went into your pockets. You’d move to exit the dim room, before a plaque caught your eye- her degree. It was neatly pressed into its frame: Wanda Maximoff, Masters of Arts in Film and Media Studies. You remembered her mentioning she was working on her doctorate, a proud grin sparking at that. Perhaps you’d get to know more about her dissertation and herself shortly. ------------------------------------------
Class went by faster than most, although it didn’t help that you were anxiously awaiting the end of Professor Maximoff’s lecture. She had worn a trim fitted sleeveless blouse and buttoned pants, both beautiful shades of burgundy. A myriad of gold rings decorating her hands as she’d motion with them through her talk. You’d have to keep your eyes off her fingers, nose deep in notebooks as you’d scramble to collect her words before your incoming final exam. 
“And what is the significance of I Love Lucy’s laugh tracks?” Wanda would ponder aloud before your hand immediately shot up, the lone attempt out of your fifty or so classmates. She’d grin at you, “Yes, dear?” 
You almost forget what you were about to say, holding onto the vestiges of it as you’d sputter, “Oh, uhm- yes, well, I Love Lucy didn’t have laugh tracks, mostly- they were the first sitcom to have a live studio audience.” Her eyes would crinkle with mirth, and you could tell immediately that you had the right answer. You tuned out her words as your mind would swim, thinking back to the weighted pen in your jeans pocket. The pet names were new, settling a joyous fuzz both in your mind and between your legs. It was things like this that had you on the back foot- this was your chance to get her back.
------------------------------------------
“And I’ll see you all in two days,” Wanda would return to her desk, sitting atop it rather than in the chair behind it. One of your classmates had asked why in an icebreaker towards the beginning of the semester, and if you remembered correctly she said ‘Just like the view from up here,’ or the like. If you’d been on the same track mind as now, you probably would have noticed how she stared at you during her spiel, a detail only discovered in hindsight. Now, you had all the pieces. 
You pack up slowly, shimmying your belongings into your overly stuffed bag. Hanging back until there were few students left, you flag her gaze with a hand and an upturned smile, “Professor, I was wondering if I could..” Your words would halt in your throat, thoughts thickened and syrupy as she’d look down to you, head tilted a degree off kilter. Would it be embarrassing to admit you’d never been this close to her before? Her lips would be pursed, but would break into a wild grin, and you felt yourself melt right there. You weren’t a teen anymore goddamnit, focus- “Talk-” you’d squeak, clearing your throat hastily to camouflage the blunder, “Talk with you, after class. Professor.”
Her brows would raise, and you could almost see the cogs rotating in there. Her eyes would dart within the now-empty room, adjusting her position on the desk- and it’d become increasingly obvious (you can deny it no longer) that you were standing directly in between her slightly parted legs. This wasn’t how you were expecting it to go, but here you were. She’d start taking off her rings. “Of course, darling,” she’d tease again with a roughened lilt. Those damn pet names. “What do you need?”
“I think I have something of yours, Professor-” Your mouth would open a few seconds before you’d speak, and you swear she’d smirk at how she had you, devoid of any thought. Something about her had you smiling and kicking your feet, and boy did she know it. Without any further bravado, you’d pull out the pen, “I hate to say it, but I think you’ve stolen-”
“Oh,” She’d breathe, Wanda’s face tinting with a pinkish hue, yet her smile only grew larger. Her gaze would narrow, voice dripping with a sultry air that almost knocked you off balance, “I didn’t let you borrow that, did I?”
“No Professor,” you admit, beginning to launch into your story, before she’d shush you- shush you, words piling up into a lump in your throat. 
“And do you know what it does, darling?” She asks, her tone a breathy whisper now. You swallow, shaking your head no. She fucking giggles. She takes the pen from your hand, clicking it three times, and it’d start to buzz. Oh, my god. It was a fucking vibrator.
“Too dumb to even recognize what this is? And I thought you were so smart..” She’d tease, a flush forming on your face in tandem with a shiver down your body. You open your mouth to speak, and yet her warm, calloused fingers would clasp your jaw shut. “Shhh, don’t want your pretty little head to even think, darling. How about Mommy show you how it works, hm?” 
You’d nod immediately. She’d abandon the toy, clicking it off as her hands would slip beneath your shirt, and it felt like time had frozen. She was so soft, and your mind glazed over. Your breath hitched as she’d trail upward, palming your skin before running her fingers over your bare breasts. You’d watch as Wanda’s pupils would blow in seconds, a devious smile bubbling into view, “No bra?” She’d murmur lowly shaking her head as she’d start to knead your flesh, “Just couldn’t remember it, hm? My precious student, too busy thinking of me to get dressed, were you?” You nod again, a pitiful mewl escaping your throat. 
“Yes- Yes, Professor..” You arch into her touch, although that bliss was short-lived as you feel her dig her hands further into your tits, sharper than you’d like. She’d tsk at your reply, and you look up to meet her eyes- oh, that was the wrong answer. 
“Did you already forget my title, baby?” She’d ask almost tauntingly, her gaze sharpening as she’d shift her hands from your skin. You’d chase her warmth, dazed as your skin would flush and tremble, slotting yourself up against her. She’d run her thumb over your lips, crooning at your immediate submission. She could use that. 
“It seems Mommy has a lot to teach you, dear..” Her touch would ghost across your exposed forearms, her feather-light touches only stuttering your breath further. “And I think you’re ready for your first lesson. Think you can handle that, darling? Keep your eyes on me,” Her hands would dig into your jeans, rougher against the hem’s fabric, “Think you can take this off for Mommy?”
“Please..” You beg, raising your hips to strip yourself bare, your glance trained on her. You don’t miss how her eyes darted down to your bare cunt, having slid off your panties too, or how she licked her lips at the sight of your slick. Her hands would hold your legs open, the cold lecture hall’s air chilling your exposed skin. Still staring at Wanda, you’d discard your shirt in the same breath, her jaw clenching as all of you felt the cool air. Feeling exposed, the urge to flee ebbed away some of your arousal. Were you really about to fuck your professor in her own classroom? Your focus was immediately drawn again as she’d capture your chin in her hand, pulling it harshly to meet her gaze. Her eyes were dilated, a thin sheen of sweat on her brow as she’d pant, both from your disobedience and your thighs rubbing against hers. “Look at me,” she’d hiss, taking your lips into a searing kiss. Your answer? Fuck. Yes.
Your cunt would grind against her leg as Wanda would pull your hips up and onto her thigh, grip bruising as your lips would crash together. You could smell her vanilla perfume as she’d tug at your bottom lip with her teeth, a familiar buzzing sound heard but not registered before you felt it on your clit. “Mommy- yes, Fuckin’ christ, there-” You’d keen, lurching back as Wanda’s hand would rest on your hip, keeping you from escaping her touch.
Wanda would groan at your words, voice a little breathier as her hips would stutter against yours, “There’s my good girl..” Teasingly, she’d circle your clit with the pen-shaped toy, gasping herself as she’d feel the aftershocks of its pulse on her clothed cunt. “Taking Mommy’s toy so well..such a sweet girl for your Professor-” 
You’d rock your hips against her, the friction from her dress slacks and the vibrator’s pulse bringing you to the edge embarrassingly quick. Wanda wouldn’t notice your frenzied breathing or how you lost your rhythm, but she would hear your words; drawn between husky whines, “Mommy, please, I’m so close, fuck-” Your face would flush, legs beginning to tremble before the whole feeling was ripped away from you, Wanda’s grip leaving as the buzz would click off. With shaky breaths, your eyes would rise to meet hers- only to see a teasing grin. She’d pat your arms, gently coaxing you off of her thigh, the few sparks of friction from that not enough to bring you anywhere close to your release. You’d blink, thoughts thickened and reeling, brow furrowed ever so slightly for her- and Wanda loved it. 
“You did so well for your first lesson, dear..” She’d croon, brushing herself off as she’d rise to her feet, leaving you on her cluttered desk. “But, Professor, I didn’t-” You’d begin and she’d silence you right there, hand rising to close your jaw shut again. 
“And you won’t come unless you call me by my title, darling. You’ve received your correction for your first mistake- and for stealing from me,” You nodded slowly, absorbing her words as though they were molasses, and her smile only widened at how dazed she’d made you. “And if you disobey again when you’re with me, alone- then I’ll lower your grade by five points. Understand?” 
If you were in any kind of fog before, you cleared it from your thoughts immediately. “Yes, very clear- uhm,” You pause, noticing the stain on her pant leg where your pussy had ground into the fabric, and you feel your face warm. Wanda would shift her stance and you’d look up- she leaned above you, a single brow raised. You’d swallow, keeping your eyes on her completely, “Yes, Mommy- I understand.”
“Good girl.” That was the right answer. She’d smile at you, her praise going straight to your cunt. Could she not have given you a few more seconds? Maybe you could’ve gotten off without her noticing. She’d interrupt your mind with a quick peck on the lips, and you felt your wits slow, swimming with thoughts of her mouth. Oh, that was why- couldn’t get away with anything if you didn’t think anything at all. Wanda’s grin would only intensify as she’d watch you dress, clothing rumpled from the haste it had been taken off. After a few minutes, you were back to prim and proper..besides your racing heart and flush whenever Wanda so much as moved. “This was great..” You’d murmur, pressing the wrinkles from your shirt, gaze flicking back up to Wanda’s- your professor still watching you with a smooth, secretive smirk. 
“Of course it was, dear..but it’s still nice to hear you say that. Anything for my best student,” She’d wink at you and you’d fold, feeling your palms clam up. Since when were you this weak in the knees? She’d settle at her desk again, her hands clasped together on its wooden grain. You’d be taller than her now, with her sitting down- and yet there was an aura she commanded that you couldn’t outdo. You turn to leave without any further fanfare but her voice would seize you again, just as warm as her touch. “I’ll be expecting you after tomorrow’s classes, then? I think some…after-hours remedial work for my course would do you well.” 
Were you really about to fuck your professor in her own classroom, again? You’d leave her hall with a bright smile, a reply, and a secret. Your answer? The same as before - Fuck. Yes. 
And your secret?
You’d stolen the ‘pen’ again.

The Final Broccoli Shareholder Meeting ☆
I had originally written the below portion for Mia's 10th Uta no Podcast episode: Music Talk, as she tends to go over occurrences and fandom news that have come out between episodes toward the end of the show. However, considering the nature of the news, I felt it would be good to also share part of the transcript here so that those who do not listen to the show, or may not know otherwise, can get a better understanding as to what's been going on.
Minor edits have been made for clarity.
Without further ado....
_________________________________________________
Broccoli held their 29th stakeholder meeting on May 26th, 2023, resulting in much controversy within the Utapri fandom. It is believed that around 160-170 people were in attendance; and from my understanding of this thread by @active_cns_N, Broccoli as a company has fostered a culture of allowing fans to interact directly with their staff at these meetings to discuss topics outside of just management policies, which is customary in this kind of gathering. Because Broccoli will be delisting themselves from the stock market, this would be their final public shareholder meeting. Please keep in mind that the information detailed in this summary are consolidated from various tweets that came from the attendees themselves, and no minutes have been released as of writing this document. As a result, there may be some things that may need clarification or amendment at a later date. 
In any case, it is believed that Broccoli were expecting to be answering questions regarding the Happinet acquisition considering their lack of preparedness, vagueness, and overall lacking responses regarding Dolce Vita, Backdol and Utapri as whole. These subjects took up most of the duration for the meeting. In fact, I believe it was mentioned that only one question regarding the acquisition was asked throughout the entire meeting, which may have been a shareholder asking if Broccoli was intentionally sabotaging themselves so that Happinet's tender offer could get to 1,500 yen and allow for an easier acquisition. The current President affirmed that no such actions were taking place.
This would be a good segway to mention that the current President of Broccoli is Shigeki Suzuki who served as director and senior managing executive officer at Happinet, being appointed back in April of 2022. The chairman and executive director of Broccoli are also previous Happinet employees.
At this time, it seems there is only one female executive in the company and she is believe to be the producer responsible for overseeing the Utapri project. There are no women currently on the board of directors.
Now for what everyone's been waiting for: As supporters of Uta no Prince-sama, what do we need to know?
♫ Dolce Vita is still in development and Broccoli asserted that it will see a release date; they explained that the reason development on the game slowed to a crawl had to do with having few staff members who are well-versed in the world of Uta no prince-sama and that with the expansion of the movie projects, Shining Live and SSS among other things, it has been difficult to allocate resources to Dolce Vita. The discontinuation of the PS Vita game console also had a huge impact on DV's development. Broccoli emphasized that they want to carefully craft a game they feel the fans will be satisfied with and are very cognizant of its significance and want to be careful with the product they end up releasing. They also declined to say specifically if there would or would not be new information coming out on the 13th anniversary.
♯  It's been brought to light after the meeting that Broccoli currently has up to five (5) different job postings on their site directly related to Utapri in some capacity, like the hiring of a content director, graphic designer, and staff for scenario direction and writing among other roles.  ♯  It's also worth mentioning that historically, the writing for the Utapri games have largely been outsourced to other companies. It wasn't until ASAS that the content was produced in-house.
♫ The title of Uta no Princess-sama from Uta no Princess-sama: Back to the Idol will not be changed, and that after an internal discussion on the matter, did not see the reason to change it and stand firm with Agematsu's vision for the project. They maintain that there will be no crossover between the franchises.
♯ When asked exactly what to expect from Backdol, and why there was a severe lack in quality for their recently released videos (like the recently published Golden Week series), Broccoli only answered the question in part and said they are "making efforts to improve the quality of their videos".
♫ Broccoli was also asked why Backdol and Utapri were so similar despite having nothing to do with each other and asked if their neglect for female-oriented content despite their enthusiasm towards male-oriented IPs had to do with the lack of women among the board of directors. Their response is as follows: On the similarities between Backdol/Utapri: The company does not perceive it to be that way. On the lack of women among the board: While there are no women among the board of directors, they do have a female executive officer (likely referring to Sayaka Konno) who is involved in the development of concepts. Within the company, women also outnumber men in middle management positions and female employees are constantly involved in projects such as Utapri. The prospect of a female on the board is welcome and desired, but they do not consider appointments solely on gender alone. Again, because of the amount of women in the company, it is only a matter of time before some of them transferred to director or executive officer positions. They also emphasized that the opinions of female staff are more readily accepted and incorporated compared to their male counterparts when it comes to content creation. All of this to say that the company feels they are not inhibiting their voices.
♫ When it comes to the mishandling and lack of sufficient stock for event merchandise, Broccoli could only conjure a vague response stating they will "make efforts to improve the situation"
♫ Broccoli has plans for upcoming Birthday celebrations but would not say exactly what. They also did not have anything to say regarding the apparent discontinuation of the Birthday Collection series.
That is as much information as I can remember to include at the moment and am unsure if anything was missed, so anyone with more to share, please don't hesitate to correct or add to in the chat or comments below.
There is much to be said about the acquisition because of Happinet's apparent limited understanding of otome or romance content and Broccoli's responses in general but all I can hope as an enthusiast of the franchise is that it all turns out for the best.

Five nights at Freddy's movie review
Spoiler free version:
I finally saw the FNaF movie (since it premiered here like a week later) and I really wanna talk about it.
It was fun. It's its own story that has some similarities to the games but it works well on its own which is a good thing imo.
It has a good pacing and I didn't get bored.
There are bunch of hints and easter eggs in reference to the games, like a guy is wearing a Midnight Motorist sweater or a dinner is named after Sparky the Dog, a hoax in early fnaf days.
It has violence but it's not too gory, most stuff happens off screen or in shadows.
I also liked the final solution, it was well established.
I do have 2 complains
1. I think most relationships needed more establishment.
2. One character kinda confuses me on their motive.
Overall I'd give it 4/5, though you'll get more of it if you're a fnaf fan.
And some tips. Watch it at home if you can or pick a later date. The movie theater was crowded and I think it hindered my enjoyment.
When you see Sparky's diner, pay attention to the waiter. You won't regret it.
And wait till the end of all credits.
Spoiler review under the cut
I think Mike and Abby needed a bit more time together or thinking of each other to make the scene where Mike realizes how much she means to him more impactful.
I feel like we were told rather shown she likes her brother.
Same goes for relationship between her and aunt Jane. We're told once she doesn't like her but it isn't enough to make her turn on Mike believable to me.
And finally Vanessa and William. The ending implies she's scared of him but we never are shown why.
This segways nicely into my other complain. Vanessa feels inconsistent. She starts out as a friendly police officer who knows tad too much about Freddy's and is revealed to be William's daughter.
What I got is that she vaguely warns the guards of the danger but doesn't tell them what it is. When the animatronics are friendly, she just let's Mike and Abby vibe there but when she learns Mike used Abby to get info on Garrett's kidnapper (her dad) she forbids him from taking Abby there ever again. I'm guessing this is to protect her dad.
But I think we should have had a flashback to her childhood and maybe a scene where she's terrified of going to the pizzeria but the she sees a drawing of Mike and Abby a decides to help.
But enough about stuff I didn't like and more about stuff I loved, in no particular order.
Actors are all really great and they did a fantastic job.
The opening credits are in style of old arcade games, just like in fnaf 2. It genuinely made me so happy to see it.
The cupcake mauling a man was both hilarious and terrifying. You go Carl!
The animatronics are all really expressive, especially Chica, when she smuggly sends Carl the Cupcake to murder a man or when she winks at Mike. Or when Freddy was looking for Mike and tilting his head as if he were listening.
I almost missed MatPat's cameo. I was like: "I know that voice! But from where?" And then he said: "It's just a theory!" and I almost screamed.
I love that the kids have some significance. Even if they dont have names, they still have more to do than they ever did in the games.
Also, it's exactly 5 nights at Freddy's.
1 - Mike arrives and sees the Missing kids for the first time.
2 - Mike gets scratched by Foxy and Vannesa shows up to info dump.
3 - since Max is dead, Mike takes Abby there for the first time. He cleans up the place and Abby meets her friends.
4 - Mike takes Abby there a second time, Vannesa shows up, they build a Fort and Vannessa gets mad.
5 - Mike goes there alone and the movie finale happens.
I noticed the trailer was insanely misleading. Vanessa ends up in the hospital at the end of the movie, but the trailer made it seem it happens somewhere in the middle.
CoryXKenshin cameo was awesome.
The ending credits song is Five Nights at Freddy's by TLT. Woho!!!
And after all the credits roll, we get a few letters spelling out "FIND ME" like in SAVE HIM minigame from fnaf 2.
Theories:
I wonder what happened to Garrett. Is he fully dead? Or is he possessing something, like the puppet?
I hope the next movie is a prequel, maybe told retrospectively by Vanessa while some stuff happens in the present. And the third movie can be a sequel, maybe with older Abby being a guard herself.

Tumblr media
Sebastian stan likes blondes, he likes coffee after noon, working out, his mom, space and all its possibilities. He likes European countries yet he won't leave New York no matter how hard he thinks about it. He loves his family and friends. He likes when people tell him good job and are nice to him; even if it’s only because he's Sebastian Stan.
Sometimes he wonders if he really likes that last one or if he hates it, it depends on the day.
He will spend his days reading and talking with actors or directors, getting flowers for his girlfriend of the season. He doesn't read reviews about his movies. He’ll talk to his mom on the phone as often as he can, he works out almost every morning but he hates running. He stands in front of a mirror before going to bed, alone and vulnerable, picking apart everything he sees and wonders if everyone else sees it too. Probably.
But not tonight.
No, tonight he feels good - better. Recently casted for a new movie, a movie with a script and a director he feels confident about, which is always the best feeling. Last year was good for him, but this year needs to be better. Sebastian is tired and needs to get away from commercial movies and Marvel, but Bucky Barnes will always haunt over his shoulders like the way Carter Baizen did for so long.
And tonight is only the beginning. They haven't started filming yet, not close. Daisy is in the middle of filming and it's still early, too much workshopping and bonding as a team before that. Sebastian likes to know who he's working with, the director and their work ethic and past projects. The co-stars and their humor and if they can cry on command or not.
Mimi is a nice director. She's new and has fresh ideas - ha, that's a pun. She makes Sebastian laugh and not feel like a character even off-screen. Sebastian likes her curly hair.
She laughs and the air is cool, Sebastian can see her breath. “It was a nice day, I'm really looking forward to working with you.”
Sebastian is lonely and this feel like a nice way to segway to ‘i have to leave, goodnight.’
“Me too, and the script is just - wow.” Sebastian exaggerates his words to match his feelings, “it's deep.”
He wants to hold onto the conversation forever and drag it out until it's so awkward he has to grit his teeth. Sebastian doesn't want to go home now - but it's late, past midnight - and despite the rumors, New York does have to sleep sometimes. His stomach grumbles and he suddenly has the appetite of a teengers first hangover.
Mimi nods and thanks him and they continue to walk. Sebastian speaks up, “is it weird to say iI'mhungry and not tired.” he looks down at his watch again, it's almost 2 am.
And Mimi understands, she smiles. “Not weird, I agree. It might be the excitement for this project but – what are you hungry for?”
“Coffee, breakfast food,” Sebastian replies honestly.
The director smiles, Sebastian hopes there are no paparazzi - this looks like a date - no, it doesn’t but the press latch onto any woman he's seen with as a date.
“I know a perfect place, and it is empty,” she says. Sebastian is suspicious - it's late, he repeats in his head.
“This late?” his eyebrows quirked up.
“I know the owner,” she affirms. Sebastian nodded and they continued walking.
Mimi talks about the movie more, how she's close friends with the writer and coincidentally, she met her through the owner of the said cafe they'd soon find a safe haven in. Sebastian nods along to her words and listens, he hates the sound of his own voice sometimes. Listening is nice.
They reach a cafe-deli type. The sign says it is closed and no one is inside but the lights are on. Mimi had a grin on her face as she knocks on the door. Sebastian watched as you came from the back and unlocked the door, Mimi smiles and greets you excitedly but your face remains monotone - almost cold. Mimi takes no offense, this must be how you always are.
You don't take immediate notice of Sebastian, which is nice for once. Mimi talks about how starved she is and desperately needs an egg sandwich from you, Sebastian agrees in his head. You hold your head high and strong like you know better, but not in a snobby way. Sebastian can tell when someone is snobby pretty soon on, people like that end up surrounding him more often than not, unfortunately.
Sebastian's eyes are an icy blue that reminds you of the winter lakes back in the midwest. That’s the first thing you notice, Mimi acts like this is her home as she plops down at the bar. You still don't say anything. Sebastian wonders if you're a writer too, or maybe an actor. He doesn’t recognize you. Sebastian sits next to mimi, he feels weirdly comfortable despite how cold and empty the cafe is.
The sound of an espresso machine starts before Mimi can even order sometimes, she must go a lot and then a coffee is in front of her in no time. You finally turn to him, you're wearing lipgloss, and he notices way too quickly.
“Would you like a coffee, Sebastian?” you ask him plainly. He didn't tell you his name, neither did Mimi. You must know him then, it wouldn't be surprising but weirdly it did.
“Yeah, anything you have. And eggs - sunny side up if you can.” you don’t reply, nodding and your mouth is thin-lipped. Not a smile nor a frown. You leave in the back, Sebastian doesn’t realize his eyebrows were furrowed until Mimi says something.
“Don't worry, she's always like that. I promise she's not miserable or mean.” mimi says, gesturing to the cold demeanor that you carry. Sebastian wonders if Mimi has to explain this to everyone, or if you hate the Captain America movies and mimi just want to make it less awkward.
It's a comfortable silence for a while, aside from the city whispering from behind the glass windows and the sound of your cooking. Sebastian catches glimpses of your face and he can't help but think you're beautiful in a stone-cold, greek statue, model type way. He can imagine seeing your face in a famous painting from the renaissance time.
Maybe you caught him staring, or maybe it was just the cold demeanor again but he swore you glared at him.
“Cooks out - so it might not be as good as usual,” you say and place the food in front of them. Mimi grins and begins to eat. Sebastian pulls out his billfold to pay, he doesn't know you and feels a twang of guilt at the thought of keeping you up past closing time. He wants to pay extra.
You notice him before he can pull out any money, “it's on the house.”
Sebastian thinks of that as a sign that you don't hate him, and you're just monotone.
“Y/N helped Lauryn write the movie, specifically your character too.” Mimimumbled through cheese and bacon.
That’s the first time he's heard your name, Sebastian repeats it in his head so as to not forget.
You scoff and Sebastian thinks for a moment you're mad, you're not. “Helped? I practically gave her the entire idea. And I swear, Mimi if you don't use La jardin for the dance scene, I'll riot in front of your house.”
“You get so defensive every time, but whenever we ask to add you as co writers you say no.” Mimi snarks, shaking her head and smiling. “Mysterious, mysterious girl.”
“Can't say I imagined Sebastian Stan as Steve though, I was thinking more of Chris Pine.” you joke, Mimi knows you're joking but your flat tone makes Sebastian second guess if you are actually upset about it or not. “was he busy?”
Mimi laughs, good - a joke.
“Not even a second choice?” Sebastian smiles sheepishly, he hopes you were joking.
Sebastian thinks you're going to smile, and your lip twitches. You hum and it sounds as smooth as the coffee tastes, like honey. “Maybe third.”
Your eyes warm in his direction, the feeling in his chest is foreign.
“You’re a better critic than you are a casting director.” Mimi jokes again. Sebastian wonders how long you've been friends.
“a critic?” Sebastian perks up, critics are his worst enemy in life. No matter how much he can ignore them, one well-written article can make or break an entire year for him.
“Not actually, I just watch a lot of movies and have strong opinions.” your eyes land back on him.
“Harsh. Harsh opinions.” Mimi makes a point, and you roll your eyes and almost smile again. Almost. Sebastian wants to see you smile, what a weird thought for a stranger he’s only known for 20 minutes. You do make good eggs, but how do you fuck up eggs?
“Anything you recognize me from?'' Sebastian slaps on a cheeky smile, and maybe it's arrogant to think he knows the answer to that. But he is Sebastian Stan and you watch a lot of movies. You open your mouth to speak but Mimi interrupts again, not in an annoying way.
“Don't bruise his ego,” she warns.
How harsh could you be? Sebastian starts to regret asking about himself.
“Anyways, how could I not? I vividly remember seeing the covenant play in the hospital when my baby sister was born; a weird choice for hospital cinema.”
Sebastian's glad you don't mention Marvel or gossip girl, the covenant isn't any much better either though.
“That is very weird. Any critics?” Sebastian doesn't even know why he asked tt, he's going to regret it.
Mimi whispers an ‘oh boy’ under her breath and Sebastian feels like he needs to buckle down and brace himself. Even worse as your eyes scan him, judging him.
“I'm not here was your worst movie and you need to fire your agents or whoever told you that was a good idea.”
Oh?
“I thought it was a good script.”
You look at him as if he had three heads. Mimi looks scared.
“I can see the vision but the story tries too hard to be deep and pretentious - it settles on just being a cry fest and it doesn't even do that well. The main character is just a shitty person with a shitty life and the writing fails to make me feel bad for him, no matter how good you or J.K Simmons's acting was”
Sebastian hangs onto the small compliment hidden in there by his fingernails. You're not done yet.
“I, Tonya was really good. Marvel is… Marvel, same thing for gossip girl. The rest of your characters have been the same angry or toxic men trope over and over again, no offense, you need more range.”
That hurt a lot less than Sebastian expected. He feels speechless, mimi is still eating and is silent. Sebastian isn't hungry anymore and your cold eyes are stripping him down naked. He still thinks you're beautiful.
“Do you like anything I've been in?” why does he keep asking questions he knows he won't like?
You think for a moment, look him dead in the eye, and smile. And even if it's meant to be snarky or sarcastic, Sebastian thinks it's beautiful and warm. Warmer than the coffee in his hands. It reaches your eyes and crinkles at the end and he knows it's genuine, it utterly stuns him and he almost thinks he missed your response.
“Once upon a time.”
Sebastian can’t help but smile at that, “give me one complaint so you don't send me home with a broken heart.” he bargains, half joking with small doubt it won't be back handed.
“I have controversial opinions on superhero movies and the people that play them, but you portray Bucky Barnes really well.'' You say quietly like you're scared of being nice, Sebastian takes it and he doesn't notice he's grinning with a light in his eyes. You don't either, mimi does - she is already texting Lauryn about it.
“I don't like to comment on people's acting abilities because I'm not an actor, but I can tell when someone is good or bad.”
Sebastian narrows his eyes at you. “You sure do comment on people's writing and directing though, you're a writer?”
Your eyes are cold again and your back straightens, even Mimi tenses and Sebastian wonders if he said something wrong. He gets no reply from you, and Sebastian sees a mask fall from your face - one he didn't notice you were wearing until now.
“No, I'm not.” your voice is monotone again. When did it have feelings? Sebastian doesn't remember when you started to sound humane and passionate, he said something wrong.
Mimi rushes the rest of her food in her mouth and reads the room as you retreat behind to the kitchen again, so quickly and quietly Sebastian almost doesn't notice.
“It's now late-late, I'm heading home.” Mimi sighs, heavily implying he needs to leave too. Sebastian agrees.
He glances back at you once more when Mimi yells goodbye, you don't look at Sebastian.
\
Sebastian prepares for the movie, he doesn’t think about you or the cafe for two weeks. He goes on a date and he doesn’t call her back.
his house is suffocating, it’s too big for him and he knows it. women and friends stay over but it feels empty. He needs air - paparazzi - he groans. suck it up, Sebastian. put on a coat and find a place to eat, he chooses a blue sweatshirt and sunglasses.
Every time he goes out he thinks maybe no one will recognize him. He's always wrong. He should know better.
aimlessly he walks. Sebastian knows the streets of New York like the back of his hand. He feels lost despite the fact he’s walked down this street many times, so much changed anyways.
Jones' place.
he remembers the place from a few weeks ago, remembers you and your cold face. Sebastian remembers you smiling and him feeling giddy about it, but now he can’t imagine it in his head. Sebastian had said something wrong, he remembers that. He wishes he got your number.
you knew him and you didn’t dance around him like a celebrity - when did the person get erased and celebrity scribbled in its place? you were normal and not on vogue or GQ and you talked to him like he wasn’t either.
in a daze, he walks in and sits down. it’s open this time, and a group of teenagers sits at a booth in the corner. an elderly man sits alone at a table, Sebastian wonders if he’s married, and if she passed and that’s where they used to sit together. maybe you’d know.
but he doesn’t see you at first. tapping his finger on the bar - you appear and you don’t look at him, don’t notice him. walking straight past him and giving a chocolate croissant to the elderly man, maybe you did see him and are just insanely good at covering it up, you don’t smile at the man but your features lighten.
you turn back around and your eyes hit Sebastian dead center like you knew he was there because Sebastian was right.
“same as last time?” you ask, of course you’d remember his order. it was simple and that was your job.
Sebastian nods, “no egg, just coffee.”
“It's not on the house this time!” you yell as you disappear into the back.
Sebastian smiles for some reason.
\
Daisy Edgar-Jones' accent makes Sebastian feel weirdly at home despite the fact he’s not from England and has never found any sense of comfort there.
Sebastian bites the inside of his cheek as he listens to Mimi speak about the movie, he dozed off, to be honest. the writers and producer speak over each other in the zoom call. Daisy is still in England and they start filming in two weeks. Sebastian is excited - the type of excitement that you mix with anxiety because it also makes you want to throw up.
Your name is mentioned briefly and Sebastian is paying attention now. Lauryn dances around the fact you practically wrote the whole script - why don’t you take credit? Lauryn is an extroverted woman who smiles a lot and tries to make everyone as comfortable as possible, the same with Mimi.
It makes no sense. Why are you so distant and monotone?
Sebastian opens Instagram for the first time in a week. He realized recently most social media was bullshit, he was turning 40 this year, and there are more important things to focus on.

Sebastian has been acting since a kid, he took a break between then and his first real job but he's been surrounded by film and cameras most of his life. Being in front of a camera should come naturally to him. Maybe it's just a mid-life crisis thing but he feels like he wants to throw up.
Coming back from some stupid junket, he doesn't remember when the feeling of needing to hurl settled in his stomach but even hours after, it hasn't left. Sebastian wonders how many people know that he paces in his room before filming, he'll anxiously bite on his nails and look in the mirror and wonder if he should have skipped that meal earlier.
Home feels foreign now. He misses his mom and he can't seem to find time to go see her. His stomach feels empty - it is empty. He's only had a salad today.
Sebastian wants to flee, where it's private and warm. His steps carried him through the city, maybe he should call that girl back? He doesn't want to be lonely tonight.
Suddenly, he feels the presence of cameras snapping pictures of his panic attacks across the street. It's like a sixth sense now, he hates it. Sometimes when his day will blur and depression hits, he'll see the photos of himself later not recognize the person on his phone. Or he'll just hate what he sees.
He doesn’t want to have to do that routine again tomorrow morning.
Then he remembers you, remembers the street he's on. and then before he can realize his breath is already suffocating him and your cafe is in front of him. It's closed but the lights are on - why is he here? Why is he knocking on the door?
Your face is concerned when you open it, Sebastian's chest feels heavy, can you tell? You must have, you must be familiar with the look of despair, panic, and the intense feelings of doom, because you let him in with no word.
Sebastian's staring again as you make him the same coffees he's ordered twice now. You're nice but guarded, Sebastian wonders if you'll ever let it down. Because he is now. Your hair is tied up and your full face is in view, no muscles move and you look just as monotone and bored as before. You look like statues, beautiful statues. Like your cheekbones and exposed collarbone were sculpted with stone or clay. Your lips are plump, you're not smiling - not frowning. You remind him of the Mona Lisa.
Embarrassment washed over him when he jolted like a paranoid creep as you set his coffee down. Sebastian mumbled a sorry under his breath and you don't say anything still, why haven't you said anything?
A laptop and cup of tea are set in front of the seat next to him, a google doc is open and he sees a script. He’ll feel guilty about it later but his neck cranes to see what is written. Sebastian barely reads a line before the laptop closes with a slam, you're looking at him with a glare, and he flinches again.
“You're nosy.” you say, making your way to sitting next to him now, sipping on the tea and staring off into space.
“Thought you said you weren't a writer?” Sebastian feels like he's going into tricky territory, scratch that - he knows he is.
Mumbled through your lips, “I'm not.”
You sound haunted, Sebastian wants to know why.
Maybe he is nosy.
Sebastian needs to keep talking or else his anxiety will eat him raw, he’ll choke on his thoughts and die in the middle of your cafe. Then he'd feel really bad. At least he doesn't feel lonely, a ghost of a person sits next to him yet he feels more comfortable than in a room full of people. How odd.
“You're not going to ask why I knocked on your door at 11 pm? Or do you just let any stranger in at night?” he tries to joke, but it comes out half-hearted like most things.
“You looked like you were going to die, I'm not going to be responsible for Sebastian stan's death,” you say, scrolling through your phone. Twitter. “I'm sure some 16 year old would dox me or something.”
Sebastian laughs, slowly picking up on your dry humor, but he knows you're unfortunately right.
“How'd you meet Lauryn?” Sebastian asks, clawing at your guarded walls as he also tries to calm himself down. He doesn't even remember why he was panicking earlier.
“A film festival in Greece, 2009 - I think,” you answer honestly, sipping your coffee again. Sebastian notices the rings on your fingers.
Sebastian wants to ask how you got into films - he feels like that's the wrong thing to say again. He doesn't want you to drive him out again, hoping to get your number before he leaves.
The iPhone in his pocket dings, it's Ellie, his date from a few days ago. She's asking if he wants to come over with a winky face, that her bed feels cold and Sebastian wants to throw up again.
“Girlfriend?” you ask, side-eyeing his phone.
“No, I don't have time for that right now.” part lie, not his girlfriend but somehow he always finds time to date. Sometimes he hates himself for it because he always loves half heartedly. He never liked commitment anyways. “You?”
“No,” you say plainly. Changing the subject at an uncharacteristic rate, “why have you so shaken up at such a time?”
Sebastian wonders if he should lie and make up some stereotypical actor excuse, or just say he doesn't know. Avoid the topic that he’s spent the past 3 weeks with new people every day but he still feels lonely. That he wants to crumble in front of any camera. That he's tired of picking himself apart.
But you sit there so mysteriously and Sebastian wants to know you too. Maybe if he gets vulnerable you'd feel okay doing the same, he tries to avoid the thought of expecting that from you, because he shouldn't. This will be an olive branch.
“I feel lonely.” he starts. “I don’t want to be home right now, so I went for a walk, and then the paps -“
he cuts himself off before he turns into word vomit. you're sitting next to him, not looking at his face. Sebastian wants you to look at him.
“you live in the city?”
“Rockland county.”
you hum, “far way to go for a walk.”
“I know.”
a moment of silence, Sebastian wants to cry for some reason. “Are you going to that girl's house?”
Sebastian's eyebrows furrow for a second, you're referring to the text. you were just as nosy as him it seems. and maybe he could go to her house, either it would destroy him or he’d feel a little better. she’d probably ask him about the new movie, flirt, and have sex, she’d talk to him like a character and he’d go home. He doesn't want to go home.
“no.” Sebastian almost whispers, “I'm not sure where I'm going.”
he was so lost, it’s pathetic.
you look at him for once you don’t look frozen. Sebastian wants to know what’s going on behind your eyes. you’re thinking, that’s obvious enough. eyes scanning him up and down he feels vulnerable. it’s unfair how much he doesn't know about you.
“I have a spare room if you're desperate.” you offer. an olive branch. Sebastian feels like choking.
He also feels guilty, because he doesn't know you and you’ve already made him coffee for free when you didn’t need to. “no, you don’t have-“
“You feel so small and tiny in a big house like that, it’s like living with a ghost when you are lonely, right? it feels taunting, even." You speak honestly, speaking from experience, you’ve been where Sebastian has. He still feels like crying but now he understands, the loneliness slowly drains from his body without realizing it.
“okay.” he whispers, almost scared to accept.
this is you being vulnerable, he soon realizes as you tell him you’ll finish closing up - living only across the alleyway in the back. you're being vulnerable by sharing a space, we’re he’ll see you raw and open.
and he saw it. old coffee mugs and everywhere the matching stains in the wood. a sweatshirt is thrown over your couch. a record playing with 80s goth music. bright orange bottles of pills. Banksy prints are nailed on the wall. books on screenwriting stacked on the coffee table. a cut-off and discarded hospital bracelet on the counter.
Sebastian asks about the vinyl, but he doesn’t bring up the empty Xanax bottles or the bracelet. you're glad.
The apartment is small and he feels warm. it’s foreign and strange - but it’s the most comfortable he’s felt in at least a week. you show him the extra bedroom, the beds made and it's mostly empty. a side table with a lamb and a wall full of shelves. books and movie scripts fill it, he sees an oscar award hidden and dusty behind a copy of pride and prejudice.
the front room is filled with warm lights, it’s settled the fog in his brain and he feels better You're sitting on a green couch that you found on the Facebook market place and he thinks you’re beautiful. Sebastian sits next to you and understanding is shared between you two, what it is? he’s not sure. but he feels safe and understood and he doesn’t want to leave.
Sebastian is not tired and neither are you, your leaning intoSebastian'sn touch and he doesn’t question why.
“thank you.” is all he can think to say.
“don’t, not yet.” you sound tortured and Sebastian can’t stop the word from leaving his mouth. he just has to know.
“what broke you?”
too much. everything. nothing at all. a man. my talent and my desire to be my loved, you think. a shaky exhale leaves your mouth and Sebastian thinks he carry your sorrows if you’d just smile at him again.
“I don’t know.” you settle on and Sebastian understands.
Sebastian's hand grazed above your arm, you don’t flinch out of his touch. your warm and soft and he melts. he wants to ask you why you have an Oscar, if it’s yours and why you were at the hospital 2 days ago and why you're chasing him with a stone-cold face
the extra bedroom goes unused and his limbs are warm and feel perfect against yours. the warm lights lull him to sleep, your breath is steady and Sebastian realized you smile in your sleep and he hopes it’s because he’s caressed your back as you dazed off. Sebastian wraps a blanket around the two of you.
now don’t get anything incorrect. Sebastian stan doesn’t believe in love at first sight, sometimes he wonders if he even believes in love at all because sometimes it feels impossible to love. his mother and father taught him commitments are lies and his partners convinced him of that. he loves his friends - he thinks - but they always come and go. they never knew him anyways.
but as the sun hits his face and he feels the blanket around him on your couch. Faye Webster is spinning on the record playing softly and you’re swaying your hips in the kitchen. you don’t realize he’s awake and your mask falls down. your cooking something and humming along, a thin-lipped smile on your face.
Sebastian doesn’t know you but at this moment he does. he feels normal and like he’s known you his entire life. it’s scary and he feels oncoming doom but he lets himself be and watches.
you seemed more alive this morning as you gave him toast. he didn’t ask for it but it was the best toast he has had in a while. Sebastian asks if you slept on the couch all night, you smiled and he almost dropped dead. no reply but that was enough. he danced with you in the kitchen, it was weird and domestic and Sebastian is looking at you like he’s in love.
but he’s not. and neither are you. The fog settles and you say goodbye and open the shop. Sebastian goes home and he never got your number.
and he has to leave tomorrow for Canada and go back to his life.
Sebastian doesn’t talk to you for another week.

I have a P4 request! Rise with an idol s/o, they do concerts together or something like that :3
persona 4: having an s/o who's an idol! (rise kujikawa)
notes: gender-neutral reader
Tumblr media Tumblr media
first of all, POWER COUPLE
your routines are always the most intense and energetic and your song collabs always slap
you've garnered some... unwanted attention from the more hardcore risette fans, who, despite keeping your relationship on the downlow, think you're trying to steal her away
i'd imagine rise acknowledges this in an interview and very kindly tells her fans to suck it up <3
outside of the limelight, it's a lot of spending time together whenever possible. between rehearsals and practice and makeup shoots and interviews, it's hard to find time to hang out with your gf :( but rise makes sure you take your breaks! she knows what it's like to be burnt out and there's no way she's gonna let it happen to you.
this usually means no-tech dates where you two can hang out around inaba (so nobody really cares enough to stop for your autograph) and the park. nice and quiet and away from the stress and bustle of being an idol
sometimes that means just chilling in each other's rooms after these low stress dates and venting with some sweets.
(didn't know how to segway this but you two totally have each other's merch. i'm talking glow wands from concerts, limited edition album releases, signed merch - not that the signature is a flex, but it's funny to think about)
Tumblr media
a/n: this was so cute to think about!!! hope you like it!

Yeah! It's the last episode of Middleman's Love, let's just... you know
Make Jade and Mai move in after only dating for a few days (the true gay lifestyle)
Continue to make everything crack including Tong and Gus
Have Jade's family stare at Mai like he's a new lab specimen
Have Mai's mic cut out in the middle of a scene so it sounds like he's talking in a hallway
Then suddenly have a serious conversation via segway of the "how many boyfriends have you had" conversation
Oh, they were wearing boxers under what looked like boxers? This is a normal sex scene
Now they're having bathtub sex, but I could have sworn Jade said he was taking a shower earlier?
Bonus points for Jade being honest that he's the one being taken care of more by Mai than Mai by him even though they have a big age gap
Mai, why are you putting on Jade's glasses during this second sex scene, this is how you fuck up your eyes
And more affirmations of how they love each other. That's... that's great. That's totally what I came here for and not that they could have actually paced all this better but go off I guess
I mean, I don't go into any Dormundi/Mandee BL without expecting to go on a ride anymore, but like, geez, what a ride.

Okay! Don't want to do much today, I'm gonna be taking my time. Richard and Leo's story is living in my mind right now.
I think at some point, Richard goes with Leo on these sidequests after spending time together in the nightclub. Probably thanks to Arclight, who probably pulled some strings to get the two together ( again, he Does Not Know how terrible Richard is). This would segway into them dating.
Again, their relationship very early on was super cute. Not to say Richard's red flags weren't there. Before the two were dating, Richard was still the jealous type, though it wasn't as noticeable as it would later get. He also put Leo on this big pedestal, obviously having some sort of expectations for the guy. But again, barely even noticeable. Maybe Cal picks up on it , since he's pinning hard for Leo , but doesn't do anything cause there's not much to go off of. Besides, Leo looks so happy with Richard. He can't really bring himself to intervene ( especially since that could just be a small dose of jealousy talking, which he'd rather not entertain).

A Halloween Ronance
(Part 1)
AN: This will likely be a two parter? Some Steddie sprinkled in there and a few of the kiddos.
...
"Cmon Steve, help me out. Scary or sexy?"
Steve opened his mouth to respond but before he could, Robin was talking again.
"God who am I kidding, I can't do sexy," she sighed, "Maybe meaningful and impressive... Like Albert Einstein, " she said and her eyes light up for a second.
"You're going to go on a Halloween date with Nancy... dressed as Einstein?" Steve dead panned.
They were in a costume shop, searching for a Halloween costume for Robin very last minute. The racks were nearly bare and even though she only had a few options, she insisted they stay until they find the 'perfect outfit' for a Halloween party Nancy had invited Robin to.
The leaves were crisp and Robin had been waiting. Waiting for a sign- or the simple nerve to say something. Anything, to trigger an event that somehow lead her to Nancy. And not just to hang out with Nancy, like they did occasionally.. Really get to know the brunette that Robin always admired from a far, and up until recently, up close. To get real intimacy with her. A real moment that hopefully segwayed into many, many moments, that never ended. She wanted to fall in deep love with Nancy, and she wanted Nancy to fall with her.
"Fuck Steve. She's so perfect. Like I can't believe you lost her, she is such a catch," Robin said, looking through the racks.
"Jeez Robin, I am soooo happy you decided to tell me about your crush on Nancy," Steve said sarcastically and leaned on the clothes rack, looking around the costume shop indifferently, "Youre more obsessed with her than I was."
Robin ignored him.
"Steve you're lucky. All you had to do was bang it out with Eddie and now all awkwardness gone-"
"It was not that easy-"
"All tension gone, while I flounder in front of Nancy perpetually," she said exasperatedly and leaned up against a rack herself.
"It's not that hard Robin. It's just a party with the crew from the Newspaper. These people are, like, the dullest of the dull." Steve said.
"Yeah but it's not about them Steve, it's about the perfect eye catching, quirky - yet appropriate - Halloween costume. And Nancy is gonna look into my eyes on the dancefloor and then we will kiss and it will be so romantically perfect," Robin said looking dreamily into the distance.
"Good luck with that," Steve said, looking back at the clock on the wall.
Robin looked over, Steve breaking her spell with his sarcasm.
"Got somewhere to be?" she asked, annoyed.
"Yeah, I promised Henderson I'd take him to the arcade after his debate meeting, so Eddie wanted to meet me at the school at 3-"
"It's very endearing that you two want to take your son out to get ice cream-"
"The arcade-"
"But I need you okay? I need to choose!" She said, holding up a bloodied brides dress in one hand and a clown costume in the other.
"Well for starters nightmare bride is a bad idea," he said, going towards the check out counter.
"Where are you going?!" she called after him.
Steve went up to the cashier.
"Hey man you got anything in the back? My friend over there is desperate," he said, nodding back to Robin, "Got a date."
"Sorry kid, this is all I got," the cashier replied, nodding to the half empty store.
Just as Steve was about to complain, Max stumbles in off her skateboard, in a huff. She walks up to Robin saying, "Hey I know you told me to gather intell-"
"Yeah and what you got?" Robin replied seriously.
"All I could get was Nancy is going to be something "vintage". 1920s I think," Max said, still trying to catch her breath.
"So Nancy is going to be wearing a '20s costume," Robin said, turning and looking into the sky as if new possibilities appeared in the air in front of her.
"Got it!" she said after a few seconds. She headed back to the far racks of regular clothes.
"I'll be a..." she pulled out an oversized dress shirt and gray tie, "reporter! From the '20s. It's perfect because Nancy is a reporter and it'll match her costume," Robin said with a smug sense of accomplishment.
Max runs up with a black Fedora hat and suspenders, "These," she said smiling and handing them over.
"Oh yeah, its all coming together," Robin nods with approval.
Steve looks up at the clock again, negating to comment on Robin's hypocrisy for making fun of him for being a dad to Dustin when she has quite literally adopted Max as her own.
"Alright that's great," he mumbled as if he was distracted, "Problem solved, now hurry up I'm going to be late."
"Oh a date with Eddie then," Max said amused, as Steve herded them to the counter to pay.
"Not a date just taking-"
"Dustin, their son, to the arcade," Robin cut in as she paid for her costume.
"Ooh sweet I wanna come," Max smiles at Steve as he pushes the two out the door and towards his car.
When they pull up to the school it's deserted. Just Eddie sitting on the hood of his car, smoking a joint as Dustin meddles with his hand radio on the other side of the schools lawn.
"Took you long enough," Eddie smiled at them when they exit the car, Max running across the lawn to talk to Dustin. "Usually it's you being the responsible one," Eddie beckons Steve over to kiss hello.
"Yeah, well," Steve answered, leaning in for his kiss. Pulling away he said, "Robin dragged me to the costume store for her date with Nancy."
"Oo a Halloween party first date, that is classic," Eddie said blowing smoke into the air.
"Yeah, except I'm a total wreck and nervous and I'm excited too which is a bad mix-" Robin babbled.
"Woah, woah, slow down birdy," Eddie said, using his current favorite nickname for her, "How much time we got until the party?"
Robin looks at her watch "About 30 minutes."
"Alright. So you go put that costume on and we will have a pep talk," he said.
Robin nods and scurries to the car to put on her costume.
Steve whispers to Eddie, "What are we gonna say to her?"
"Don't worry about it Stevie, I got this," Eddie winked and flashed a charming smile at his boyfriend.
Steve shook his head warily, and moments later Robin emerged from the car with the fedora on her head, feather poking out. The button up she chose was big on her put was tucked into her trousers with suspenders on tight. She put a notepad in her breast pocket with some pens from Steve's car.
"Tada! A 1920s reporter," she said running over to the pair.
"Here Rob," Eddie held up his hand with the joint he was smoking in it. "This'll make it easier guaranteed," he smiled.
"That's the pep talk?" She said snatching the preroll from him.
"Yup," he smiled back as Steve face palmed.
"Lord help me.." Robin mumbled, as she took several fast puffs of the joint.
AN: (Part 2 will be linked when it's done <3)

If you’d like to put a pause on current threads while in Paris, please feel free to do so! Just make sure to post about it over in the OOC blog so everyone’s on the same page. 
Struggling to come up with a plot or location? I got you!
friendly plots:
Visit the spa in the Shangri-La! Here you can get a full-body massage, do yoga, anything to rebalance your mind and soul. 
Speaking of the spa, there is a 17-metre swimming pool if you and a friend choose to have a late swim. Don’t worry, it’s kept nice and warm day and night!
Have dinner at one of the restaurants in the hotel. One of which has a Michelin star. For a funnier plot: the waiter you’re assigned keeps forgetting about your table. 
Love cheese? Take a cheese and wine tour with a friend!
If you’re into something artsy, then spend a day at the Versailles Palace & Gardens (where the incredible Hall of Mirrors awaits.
See the infamous Notre Dame Cathedral up close! Want to make the plot a little special? A local spots you so now you and your friend have to try to hide! 
Travel in style on an exclusive retro sidecar motorcycle. Make sure that you get a trusty driver for this!
Climb to the top of the Eiffel Tower for sweeping views. Take lots of pictures!
Up for a game? Go watch a soccer/football game at the Le Parc des Princes! There’s a game Tuesday and Wednesday. Place a friendly bet or two. 
Tick off the city’s highlights with a hop-on hop-off bus tour. Get lost when you don’t make it back in time before your bus leaves you!
Glide through Paris’ laneways on a Segway tour! Small twist?: You crash your segway.
How about crack the code in an escape room! Have a fun argument when time starts to run out!
not so friendly plots:
Reach for the same item while shopping at Place Vendome. You argue about who deserves the piece.
Get into a drunk argument while you stay out late enjoying Paris’ nightlife with a Latin Quarter pub crawl.
Be forced to look like friends when locals spot you, and you’re forced to get in the same ferris wheel at Le Jardin Des Tuileries.
Vomit on the other after you ate (too much) ice cream at Berthillon on Ile St Louis.
Place a big bet at a horse racing event, then argue when the other doesn’t wan to pay. 
Lose your crap when the other keeps cutting in front of you while you’re having a friendly competition at Paris Kart Indoor.
What started as a great afternoon as now turned into a sour one after you spend the entire day together. You get into a disagreement after you rent a small boat at La Villette. 
Get lost in the backstreets of Montemartre and bicker about who got who lost.
romantic plots:
Want to up your dating level? Have Champagne at the Top of the Eiffel Tower. It sparks all the romance in Paris.
Bring roses, wine, chocolate, and have a romantic picnic at Luxembourg Gardens and Palace.
Learn to make French macarons together! Better plot? Your cooking instructor is busy on their phone that you and your significant other do your own thing. 
Treat your partner to a Seine River dinner cruise. You’ll have a beautiful view of the river and the Eiffel tower. 
Stroll the Streets of Montmartre- It Is One of the Most Romantic Places in Paris! If you’re still in the dating process, this will help spark the romance and have a beautiful view, too!
Sipping wine at a wine bar is one of the best date ideas in Paris. Better plot? It’s a slow night so it’s just you and your significant other.
Strolling hand in hand along the Seine. Go at night to help you blend in with locals. 
Dine at a Michelin-Starred Restaurant for a romantic Paris date night. Small twist?: Your waiter/waitress has a hard time understanding you, and gives you the wrong plate.
How about if you want to start dating? Maybe meet up accidentally to a restaurant, you decide to eat together, then before you know it, you’re having your first date.
What if you’re exes? Spark a conversation when you’re on the top of the Eiffel Tower. Remember the old days, bring up memories. 
Of course, you don’t need to do all of these. You can always switch up a few details if you wish to!

The real story of Ice Pick Joe: One of the most tragic characters in film.
Ice Pick Joe is truly a complex character. Not much is known about him, considering he is not a major character. Despite the mystery surrounding him, the fandom loved Joe. The creators of Goncharov took note of this, and created a spin off film titled As The Ice Melts (2010) .Older Joe is played Brad Pitt, while teenage Joe is played by William brent.  The Poster is shown below.
Tumblr media
In this movie, much of Joe’s backstory is revealed. One of the most important parts in the entire film is the scene where younger Joe escapes from his burning house. The only thing he saves is a photo of him and his mother. In the intro, Joe narrates over a flashback of him and his family playing in a park. 
See that? that’s me and my family...Ah, the good ol’ times.I remember this like it was yesterday. This was one of my last happy memories with my father.  
It is stated that Joe’s father either died, or left him and his mom. A few scenes later, Joe’s house burns down, his mother inside. His narration continues.
And then...It was just me. I was alone. I couldn’t save my mother like she saved me all those years ago. I had to go back to that wretched orphanage again.  
In this small snippet of dialogue, It is revealed that Joe was adopted. After a quick flash forward, Joe is introduced to a group of delinquent children. They’re slightly older than him, being around 14.
The kids weren’t bullies. Not by any means.They were some of my best friends throughout my teenage years! They helped me learn to be tough. They even helped bust me out of the orphanage! John, Quincy, Adriana, Emilia, and Carson were always there for me. We were like...a family.
Joe escapes from the orphanage, now traveling with his friends. They bought him clothes, and helped disguise him so the authorities wouldn’t recognize him. When he hit 16, they stopped the search. They assumed them to be dead. 
Now that Joe was no longer being actively hunted, he decided it would be good to take up a job and help support his friends. Quincy had inspired his passion for art, so he got a job making ice sculptures. This is how he got his nickname.
You see this? This is where it all started for me. My passion for ice was ignited by my closest friend. He used to say, “Ice Pick Joe. There’s nothing he can’t do with a pick and some passion.
(Note, in another spin off novel, It is implied Joe and Quincy dated/are dating, but the Goncharov fandom does not believe the books to be canon.) 
The rest of the plot is mostly filler, up until Joe is offered a job opportunity. He calls up his old friends, and they begin to work alongside him. This segways into the plot of Goncharov, but it is noted in a throwaway line that he stops working with his friends due to the job being too dangerous for them. 
Please let me know if you would like me to cover the books next, or the leaked information about Goncharov 2.

definitely season 2 is game of thrones level intense. all the sex and heart seizing action? *sobs and screams into the void* yeah. season 2 is what the draws in new viewers. they haven't read the books but the tiktoks are crazy and that's enough for them to start a "omg should I have read the books first?" debate because of course the production of the show is gonna fuck up a little (I'm sorry, it's true).
maybe they change an important character to another actor (not markhyuck tho, but maybe mks father - wait but I think they make him hot/ter and now people are being questionable when it comes to him. "mark's gotta relax, his dad's not that bad" because he's a fucking charismatic dilf now and they make a fanbase for him🙄. but the ones who read the books will never turn soft or putty for that man😒 we had to shove food down our throats to keep from crying at the university dining hall when mark confronted his dad about never caring about him, we will never recover!
or they omit or add something that feels kinda off (I'M SORRY!😭) like too much sex. they actually have sex in Johnny's love nest! can you believe it?! like THAT NEVER HAPPENED, is what people are enraged about on twitter. and everyone's mad at the network for making mark disrespect johnny that much further but surprisingly it Segways into a johnmark duel-turned-brotherly-makeup episode. and maybe you consented. Against your will it becomes one of the highlights of the season. you might reveal you regretted it immediately and it's one of the reasons you didn't want to adapt it, because they would try to add or take away stuff, even though you were glad the resolution was done well and you're in a love-hate situation with the outcome because THAT STILL NEVER FUCKING HAPPENED.
it's like the best fucking season yet. it's what people remember and compare to the next coming seasons. it was just that legendary
I think Donghyuck's first heat interlude definitely starts out the third season. It happened in the islands and the third season is in the islands anyway
the third season doesn't have a full picture yet, so of course the daydream ends with episode 2 season 3, with dongsook rescuing mark from the water prison, only to end up having to unarm Yangyang with his hands and his sexiness. (I can't make myself daydream about the chapters after the water prison until ch58 unfortunately, they're still solidly 'on paper' for me). But maybe I'll do this again once the full tone of the arc is done playing out. this has been fun🤭
I'm going to sleep now
(I wrote this at 2am but didn't know if Tumblr would let me post the whole thing so I had to cut it in half lol)
how did you even manage to post all of this when another anon had to cut it in seven little asks fjehdsfjd
okay it’s very cute that you’re planning all of this, it makes me laugh so much
NOT THE SEX IN THE LOVE NEST OMG jhny would never forgive them ;; you’re so right about me i would be extremely bitter if a scene that i didn’t personally put there became the highlight, it feels like someone manipulating my son, is this what parents feel like when their son is dating the delinquent biker and doing stuff their parents never thought they could do? ;;;
also lol mk’s father was always hot i said it on ccs many times, it’s just, dh hates him so much, and mk is blind to anyone who isn’t dh, so there’s no one there to talk about how handsome he is lol we still hate him, he’s pretty garbage, toxic sparkly trash :)))
thank you for doing this, i’ll wait for part 3 after the arc ends <3<3<3

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media

first of all, that is the cutest fuckin' shrine ever! like hello?! it is so precious alksjflakfj I know chiwoo is somewhere feeling the love of that shrine.
as for the uni classes, how is it going? is the semester up already? did you do well? is the workload calmer now? i am manifesting only the most amazing and exciting school news ever! good grades and fun classes are in your futurrrrreeeee~~~~~~~~~~

I want details and giddy! ohmygoodness, I am literally so happy for you I could scream! i love that it all worked out for you and that the feelings were mutual and that now you are dattttiiiinnnnggggg asljdfhalskdjfhalkdf I'm so giddy for you pls- he better be good to you or I'll be booking a flight and coming to kick his ass- I'm so serious kjfals how long have you two been dating now, since I'm a bajillion years late on the response? i love, love so this is just UGH THE BEST! kels this is so so deserved truly~! did you ask him out or did he ask you? How did you get to that point? LIKE DETAILS ARE SO SO SO NEEDED RN
using the boyfriend talk as a segway into the dkb and junseo x jisol agenda pffffttttt. he uhm sang "real love" to me (and into my phone) two stops in a row... he gave me his water, touched the bear clips I had in my hair, held my hand during the first fansign, told me he missed me everytime we got to talk, asked me to take my mask off during the second snapshot session, when I smiled at him and the girl took the pola he smiled real wide and while looking dead in my fucking eyes went "so cute". mouthed my name at me when I was literally in Lune's snapshot line, called out to me as I was walking away from him just to tell me that he loved me, made me promise to always support him (pinky promise), and made me pinky promise (while he was on stage) to eat dinner after the concert, etc. etc.
and that was just Junseo akslfhlakfhakjf Heechan called me sexy during snapshots lmfao and he also did that thing where you are on the ground on your back and you kinda flip to your feet ???? idk how to describe it aksjdfal and smacked his head really hard, so when he came over to my side of the stage I asked him if his head was alright and he nodded and touched his head and then gave me a thumbs up. Changmin corrected me while he was on stage, into his fucking mic, I was so embarrassed. I was screaming "Changmin-ah! Changmin-ah!" and he was like "It's Changmin-ssi" I almost passed away. At the first concert, I yelled "GK Sexy" really loud and he got all cocky and the others fucking lost it. GK also stopped to talk to me as he was leaving and then came back and told me that the door was locked, so I had to yell out "GK is locked out"... but it wasn't locked... it was just a push door... Harold is petrified of me, but we are best friends so idk wtf is going on lmfao, but no he came and looked into my camera a lot, at both stops when they asked which stage was our favorite, he looked at me for my answer and we did the "all-in" hands to each other. Lune and I became homies lowkey which felt really special to me, but he stopped and said goodbye to me when he was leaving the second stop and saw that a girl had let me borrow her handheld fan and asked me if I was okay while on the stage. Dongil whole ass pointed the mic at me during one of GK's raps because I was screaming the words and then laughed when i got embarrassed and stopped yelling. he also just looked over at me and my roommate dancing along and got really happy. Teo and i are two shakes of an ass cheek away from being married. during snapshots the film ran out in the pola so we had to take it again and he was like "oh so sorry we have take another," and sarcastically I was like, "Oh no- I have to spend more time with my favorite person," and he was like "oh no~" and then whispered a little "yes!" and did a small fist pump and we both laughed, he ended up pulling me in for a hug before i left his snapshot at our second stop. Yuku literally did not perceive me as a person. Like he was too busy seeing my roommate to even smile into my camera LMFAOOOO i was like ???? HELLO MISTER????

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth: Every Date Cloud Can Go On At The Gold Saucer
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ahhhh love is in the air. Or maybe it’s the Mako…regardless, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is finally out on PlayStation 5 and that’s something we can all celebrate. We had a great time with it – read Game Informer’s Final Fantasy VII Rebirth review here – and one of the many reasons we enjoyed our 80-plus hours playing is because of the various relationships within the game and Cloud’s party. Whether you’re Team Clerith or Team Clifa, or maybe Team Cloud XIII (is that a thing?), there’s plenty that will leave you satisfied. 
Chief among those things is the special date night that happens within the Gold Saucer. We won’t spoil when it happens in the game, and we won’t discuss it in detail here, but we do want to let you know that we spent dozens of hours maxing out our relationships with each party member. That means we were able to take part in all possible dates at the Gold Saucer, and we captured each for you to watch below.

Earth 489: Nell Little
Penelope Joanne "Nell" Little is the daughter of Bryan Little and Lisa Little (née Thomas). Born in Gotham City, she was a bright and intelligent young girl trapped in a city full of darkness. And yet despite this, her hope and optimistic nature flourished, especially when after the supposed death of Batman, a new Batgirl with blonde hair, clad in black, purple, and yellow, rose to defend the city. Nell became Batgirl's biggest fan and supporter, and would eventually discover her secret identity: Stephanie Brown.
As Stephanie's previous identities were public knowledge, due to Black Mask leaking her identity online a few years prior, Nell knew her inspiration was previously known as Spoiler. Wanting to do what she could to help Batgirl, she donned the name for herself. But her first patrol was disastrous. As an untrained 11 year old girl attacking thugs twice her size and body weight, it was only thanks to Stephanie's intervention that Nell survived. While Steph wanted the younger girl to stay home and be safe, she knew she'd be a hypocrite if she did so. She took Nell under her wing, training her in everything should could and handing her off to others to cover areas she wasn't skilled in. After six months of rigorous training, and one upgraded suit later, the second Spoiler took to the streets.
Nell tenure as Spoiler was ultimately a short-lived one. After joining a new incarnation of Young Justice, led by Steph, Damian Wayne would be murdered by an aged up clone of himself created by his grandfather, Ra's al Ghul. At around the same time, Dick Grayson was severely injured while on patrol and would need another Nightwing to take his place. Stephanie left for Bludhaven to answer the call, leaving Nell with a Batgirl suit and a note saying "Good luck". Nell joined the Birds of Prey at the age of 12, training with and fighting alongside the likes of Black Canary, Huntress, Lady Blackhawk, and Starling.
Stephanie would eventually return to Gotham City, keeping the Nightwing name and joining the Birds of Prey. Nell, as Batgirl, would become a student and partner to her idol. But the day may come soon when Batgirl will fly solo once more.
Notes
Nell's mom's maiden name being Thomas is meant to be a reference to Duke Thomas, whom Nell is cousins with on 489. I couldn't find somewhere to reference that in her bio, so I'm saying it here.
Nell being Batgirl comes from that Black Mercy dream sequence Steph had during the finale of her Batgirl run. I figured Nell being Spoiler before that could be a nice segway into Batgirl, since A) the Batgirl legacy isn't up for grabs when she becomes a hero, B) Spoiler gives her a chance to grow as a hero and give her a stronger connection to her mentor, and C) Spoiler deserves to be a legacy title.
Minor note, but Nell's middle name comes from Jo Monez, Alysia Yeoh's girlfriend in main continuity. Since Alysia and Nell were dating in Bombshells, I thought it'd be a fun little reference.
