[our-reality]

can we please hear about. the s1 or s2 plot please i love your little guys so much

no ^_^

BUT IN ALL SERIOUSNESS agh it wouldnt make sense to explain the s2 plot without s1 but s1's plot is . im only proud of it in my head but i guess i can try to explain it LAWL sorry if this makes no sense

so season 1's plot revolves around this prophecy. that the highest gods of the universe (swift and python) will split apart but be rejoined by The Chosen One (its not immediately revealed who this is for Reasons) in order to stop the evil guy (vysel) but in the process the high gods will die and the chosen one will take their place . sounds pretty simple right. uh yeah thats the last time itll be simple

swift and python. really never took the prophecy seriously before their fight. they had long lives ahead of them (or so they thought), and besides thinking about their horrible demise doesnt really . do a whole lot for them. other than make them depressed. but when the split happens (and python leaves swift behind) swift suddenly starts to take the whole thing MUCH more seriously. it doesnt say how long it'll take for the chosen one (that's not what the prophecy calls them but its okay) to bring them together so swift just kinda. holds out hope for a while. but eventually they lose faith and only adhere to the prophecy because it predicts sky's gonna die early. which becomes the only thing they care about.

FAST FORWARD TO THE MODERN DAY python's a human and he's an old man and it ends up in this little town called overgaard and he (literally) runs into these two girls named ruby and java!! and within a second of shaking both of their hands it's like oh. they're The Ones huh. (keep in mind he barely remembers anything about the prophecy so like. yeah sure theres two chosen ones. why not. and it n ruby n java hit it off really well!! (ok more so like ruby and python hit it off java kinda hates him initially LOL) but eventually python knows that like. even though he hates responsibility he should do something about. this. like this is kinda important

now python's been on earth for a while. and they know there's exactly one (1) place here that swift can occasionally be found on. and that place is called purity's garden!! and it just so happens there's a gateway to it in overgaard!!! but uhhh unbeknownst to him two humans unexpectedly FOLLOW him into this place that very few, if any, humans have stepped into for the past couple thousand years. but uhhh swift does end up being there and python basically walks up to her and is like "hey girl so i know we havent talked since i abandoned you without saying goodbye hundreds of years ago but i think i found the two kids from the prophecy ^o^"

now swift has been studying the prophecy for AGES. she KNOWS that there's only one chosen one. and sky also knows that the shitbag who honestly ruined her life just came bsck without any kind of explanation or apology for doing so. AND he's just wholeass lying to them on top of that. so she's not very happy until lo and behold !!!!!!! thw two kids from the prophecy come to intervene!!!!!!! and at first swift is like "python these are just normal humans you fuckinf loser". but python INSISTS tjeyre the chosen ones, swears it on every bone in his body. amd she's like "i'll literally prove it to you ill SHOW you the prophecy" but!! when they get there!!!! the prophecy suddenly says there IS two chosen ones!!!!!!!!!!! and swift is losing it because sky's literally spent every day of python's absense memorizing that shit down to the SPECIFIC INFLECTION OF EACH WORD and somehow she mustve fuckijg forgotten that the prophecy calls for two people. ok. Fine. she can be cool about this . itll be Fuckinf Fine. so she reluctany trains these two alongside python in order to become skilled enough to defeat this evil demon thing that threatens. the fabric of the universe actually.

and BADABING BADABOOM that's most of s1 :-) everythinf just kinda follows that plot. and by that i mean the prophecy keeps fucking changing because it turns out having two people instead of one kinda changed everything WAY more than it fucking should. but its okay.

uhhh other than that the negative spirits take vysel as their pawn on the 200th anniversary of his death amd start rebuilding his prescence in the cutural consciousness only to make him like. the most hateable person ever. because negative actions and emotions make them stronger. and vysel's cool with it because he's a shallow asshole who only wants fame and attention even to the point of sacrificing his identity and personality both to the internet gods and to. the kinda demon things possessing him

although the whole training arc is going on (which does get some episodes dedicated to it tbf) most of the episodes in s1 are actually moreso slice of life stuff. a whole year passes between java and ruby finding out they're "chosen ones" and the end of s1 so they still have a lot of time to like. interact with their families or reconnect with old friends (as two conpletely nonspecific examples) . and about halfway thru the season vysel shows up proper and the story has urgency now yippee!!!!!

anywhoozle like i said in that one post. and i should probably explain how this happens so im gonna do that rq . but basically i've talked about this thing called imprisoned rogues before? they're basically intergalactic super criminals . if you do something that endangers an entire planet or more the gods will come up with some sort of unique enless trap for you to stay in for all eternity. like for example an endless staircase you never stop climbing or your consciousness being transferred into an inanimate object. shit like that. and all these rogues are kept in sectors that only gods can make portals to. but the collection of negative spirits within vysel have become so strong they can collectively create one giant portal to send everyone through. where they would presumably die (except for swift who they're now confident they can kill if she gets singled out ^_^). which is much safer than trying to kill them directly. and of course thats the one day java and c+ actually decided to hang out with each other for the first time in 3 years so uhhhh get fucked jobs georg you and your girlbestie get sent to the hell dimension !!!

and yada yada emotional turmoil happens and they eventually decide that letting java die out there isn't a particularly great idea and they save her but by then the endgame has pretty much started. the other gods finally start to help when they realize that this is actually. yk. a big fucking deal. and the prescence of two people is actually enough to cause the prophecy to change so much that both swift and python get to live in the end WOOOOOO (well. they live in some timelines that is. but dw about tjat its Not important ^_^) vysel dies in the process and everything is hashtag awesome the end . oh my lord that took so long to explain sorry LOL

UHHHHH S2'S PLOT ISNT NEARLY AS COMPLUCATED THANKFULLY. basically another year passes after the end of s1 and everyone's hanging out and being friends and whatever. but even after that time swift couldnt shake the feeling that something was wronf with the prophecy. she figured out it was changing but she couldn't understand why. but it wasn't really worth worrying about because they had to stop vysel. but after all was said and done she decided to visit one specific imprisoned rogue in particular, who sought to gain all the knowledge in the universe. so to punish xem the gods GAVE xem infinite knowledge but also put xem in a pitch black, inescapable room, so no one else can possibly hear xyr knowledge. which was what xe wanted in the first place. how fun ANYWAYS xe's not at all important ^_^ the point is that swift finally caves and asks xem what happened and xe's like oh!! some human kid fucked it up lol :) now can you free me now that i told you that and swift's like . sorry buddy its kinda hard to take back your knowledge now that you have it . but we'll figure out something for you !! (sky never does /J)

ANYWAYS the point of all this that swift figures that the human that altered the prophecy is the REAL chosen one. and even after all this time there's still no one to take the place of swift and python (which. swift being the god of all energy is a major reason why they're so unhappy in the first place. so of course they dont wanna put this burden on ruby or java or python.) but they figure that if this humam is old enough and experienced enough to be able to change the future in such a drastic way, then with some more experience and love for the universe they'd absolutely be able to take up this role. right ?

SIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE KID THAT DID ALL THIS IS SOME SHITTY 15 YEAR OLD SCENEMO KID!!!!!!!!!! GET PRANKED LOSER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so they kinda have an issue. cuz swift absolutely Cannot handle being a god anymore . but this kid (named requiem) doesnt wanna do it either. and also said kid is way too powerful to just. stay let loose. so they're like hey man!!!! you can like. change the future and shit isnt that cool. and this kinda freaks requiem out they're like THATS WHAT THE PROPHETIC STRESS DREAMS ARE ABOUT?????? ALSO WHO ARE YOU so automatically they're even worse now

and the main 4 are like. hey. ik we really stressed you out before and were sorry but we can also get you out of here because youre very obviously depressed. and requiem's not great rn but they also Are Depressed and Have No Plans For The Future so they're like. okay. their parents are okay with this btw because theyre. aghh

so basically s2 is about trying to get requiem to appreciate life. because we dont want this child who can change the future to be sad all the time. or angry. or yk. evil. which sounds kinda shallow but they develop into really good friends!!! and they found family each other ....... bless. so they travel the world and see things from so many other perspectives and this is the season where i kinds go creazy with the worldbuilding ....... its for me to have fun . win

and uh . funny story i STILL dont have a proper ending for s2 .......... i have ideas i just need to think of how such a thing would happen. but i will get back to you when i come up with something ! dw

and erm thats kinda it ... there's also a side story with themes and motifs AND two blokes who do fuck all. but i dont talk about that one as much but its okay!!!! i will soon.......... stayyyyyy tuned ^_^

[one part of a chengqing holiday rom com for as many days of december and uhhh maybe january as i feel like] [previous part]

Small mercies: there was a parking place right outside Jin Ling’s preschool. Still no word from Jin Guangyao, though, which was a bad sign. If he wasn’t responding to texts and emails within a minute of receiving them, it either meant he was composing a multi-paragraph reply, had no service, or was so busy he literally had his hands full. 

“You’re okay to wait?” Jiang Cheng said as he pulled in, and Wen Qing waved her phone.

“I’ve got plenty of emails,” she said. 

“Thanks,” Jiang Cheng said for about the thousandth time since they left the school. He slid out of the car and hurried into the preschool, which was all decked out in paper Christmas trees and other holiday decorations clearly made by the kids. Maybe he could calm Jin Ling down afterwards by asking him to point out which one he’d made. 

Inside, the receptionist was clearly waiting: she was on her feet almost before he was in the door.

“I’m very sorry,” she said. Jiang Cheng waved her off. 

“Where is he?” 

She led him on the now-familiar route back to the little nurse’s office, where Jin Ling was curled up in one corner of the nurse’s cot, his knees pulled up to his chest and his face pressed against them. One of the assistants was sitting on the opposite edge of the cot, trying to coax him out. He peeked up when the door opened, then threw himself off of the cot almost before Jiang Cheng had time to open his arms.

“Jiujiu!” 

“So what happened?” Jiang Cheng demanded over Jin Ling’s head. 

“We were talking about different winter holiday traditions,” the assistant said. “And, well... Mo Ziyuan said that his parents told him that Santa talked to them to make plans for Christmas Day. And then...” She sighed and lowered her voice to a whisper, hardly more than mouthing the words, though Jiang Cheng was pretty sure he already knew where this was going. “--he asked if that meant Jin Ling wouldn’t get any presents. We spoke to him, of course,” he added quickly at Jiang Cheng’s glare. “Jin Ling was understandably upset, but resorting to biting--” 

Jiang Cheng sighed. “Yeah. You can’t bite people, kid.” Much as he also felt like biting Mo Ziyuan. 

“We gave them some time apart and then gave them a chance to apologize, which Ziyuan did and Jin Ling...” She paused to search for the word. “...did not.” 

“Bit him again?”

“Ah, yes.” 

“A-Ling--” Jiang Cheng began, and Lin Jing yelled, “I hate him!!” 

The assistant looked like she wanted to say something asinine like that isn’t a nice thing to say, but Jiang Cheng quelled her with a glare. He hoisted Jin Ling into his arms and said, “Come on, we’ll go see your shushu. I hope you’re going to be having a conversation with the Mos, too.”

“Of course, don’t worry,” the assistant said. “We’ll see you tomorrow.” 

Jiang Cheng pressed Jin Ling tightly to him as he strode out of the school. As they passed through the lobby, his phone finally buzzed, and he had to shift around to try and fish it out of his pocket. He couldn’t open it, but didn’t need to-- the message preview from Jin Guangyao was enough: In Vancouver. Should be home by... 

What the hell was he doing in-- whatever, it didn’t matter. Jiang Cheng started to slide the phone back into his pocket, but Jin Ling had perked up and was making grabby hands for it. With another sigh, and against his better judgment, Jiang Cheng handed it over, and Jin Ling pulled up his favorite game with a skill that Jiang Cheng frankly still found somewhat chilling. And guilt-inducing: a-jie would never have let him develop that kind of facility with a screen at this young age. 

Wen Qing had gotten out of the car and was talking to someone on the phone. Jiang Cheng slowed his step, trying to give her time to wrap up the conversation before he got there if she needed to, but she didn’t notice him before he was close enough to hear her. 

“--seriously, A-Ning.” She was frowning, but making her voice light. “There’s no reason for us both to spend Christmas in a hotel. You know how cheap uncle can be, it isn’t very nice. Stay with popo and... well, you know how he gets around the holidays anyway, he needs you.” She paused, listening. “Yeah, I’ll--”

She looked up and saw Jiang Cheng and Jin Ling approaching. “I’ve got to go. We’ll talk tonight. Bye, A-Ning.” 

“Everything okay?” Jiang Cheng couldn’t help but ask.

“Yes,” she said quickly. “Just fine. Just my brother.”

“Who are you?” Jin Ling demanded before Jiang Cheng could reply. Wen Qing lifted her brows. 

“I’m Wen Qing,” she said. “I’m friends with your uncle. You must be Jin Ling.” 

“Why are you here?” 

“I heard you were having a bad day,” she replied, unfazed by what even Jiang Cheng could describe as a bratty tone. “After this, we have to go to work.”

“About that,” Jiang Cheng said. “I’m really sorry, but his uncle is out of town. Is there any chance of postponing the tour?”

“Well,” she said wryly. “That shouldn’t be a problem. My uncle has asked me to stay here in town for another week.”

Ah. That explained the conversation about a hotel over Christmas. But that was none of Jiang Cheng’s business, so he just nodded. “I really appreciate it. I’m really sorry.” 

Wen Qing shook her head. “It’s unavoidable. You’re doing what you need to do, I can appreciate that.” 

“Thanks.” And for whatever reason, he really did feel like she understood. It felt... nice. Not to have to worry once again that he’d gotten his priorities wrong, misbalanced everything. “Well, A-Ling. It’s you and me today?”

Jin Ling instantly perked up. “We get a Christmas tree?” 

Oh for God’s sake. He must have made some kind of face, because Wen Qing-- laughed. He looked over at her in surprise, and found she was still smiling. Something about that smile clearly knocked loose something essential in his brain, because what he found himself saying was, “Yeah, we’ll get a Christmas tree. Want to come?”

Poor babies 😭 they goin through it as always xd

At least it wasn't some terrible big scheme on their wedding itself lol

Just random stuff and a small bad thing xD

OPE GUYS O.O

Okay, that's the last of my promo thoughts, now it's time for the. . .

REVIEW

Not quite as fancy as my 911 or tgd ones lol, more like the normal ones, just with the end of a liveblog as well :).

I made a post about this before coming back to this one, but happy 100th episode all!! Lowkey forgot this was the 100th anniversary lol. But it makes so much sense and it was a GREAT 100th episode :D.

I love that everyone had their little moment (at least): James with the music, Wesley with Oscar, Luna with her college classes, etc :). And just Randy, Chastity, Oscar, and Henry BEING there lol. Though to clarify Oscar was not at the wedding xD. But seriously, I really loved all the cameos and little character moments this episode :)).

Also CHENFORD AAAHHHH!!! Their MOMENTS this episode y'all I was losing it xD. I do kinda wish it hadn't been that Tim isn't supporting her despite thinking he is, though? Because the vibes last episode were just really on Tim's side, I guess, and now they're just tossing him into "bad guy" a bit. But, I think it'll work out in the end. I'm also glad Chastity brought up that Lucy could also be scared! I think that's a real possibility :). Anyway, they were ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE and whether it was the first time in universe or not, WHOOO FIRST I LOVE YOU!! And it was so cute :'D. Also the dance 😭😭😭❤️ stop I'm not okay :').

BAILEY AND JOHN ARE MARRIED!!! WHOOOOOO :'DDDD!!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🎊🎉🥂🎂🥂🥰❤️❤️🥰. I'm so happy for them :'DD

They might not be my favorite couple on the show but I still love them and this has been a long time coming. I'm also glad that despite all the issues they still had the wedding and everything was okay and beautiful 🥰🥰. Thank goodness they actually had it and we saw it lol (looking at you Wopez - still mad at the writers for that). Also I'm SO EXCITED for the next episode with their honeymoon :D.

I felt so bad for Celina and Aaron this episode 😭. Aaron because poor boy is going through it and misreading signals/situations xd, and Celina because she's trying to be there for him and do what's best and she as also, you know, kidnapped and beat up xD. But, I think they'll make it through it :).

Really though Aaron you need to talk to your therapist 😭. It's dangerous going out when you know you're not healing :(. Hope he learns it soon D':.

I loved all the togetherness moments this episode!! The bachelor and bachelorette parties (y'all I can't articulate it beyond loving individual characters and them all hanging out but oUAGH chomping on it)/last minute preparations xD were SO GOOD!! And the wedding, especially the dancing :'D. AUOGH, I love them <333. And of course the final mission at the end - they slay together :DD. Also, I'm glad Celina's okay :')).

Don't even get me started on the Wopez/Wesley angst. Y'all I'm about to have so many thoughts about them moving forward (even more than usual/always xD). Like! AUGH! OSCAR!! SITTING ACROSS FROM HIM!! DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG I'VE WAITED FOR THIS

Where's the panic attack Rookie <33

Where's the panic attack writers 🥰🥰 where is it :))

I'm kidding xD kind of lol. But seriously, the angst thoughts are turning (the wheels are turning) :DD. And don't forget about Angela either lol

Anyway! Everybody slayed this episode and I REALLY enjoyed it :D. I'm SOO excited for the next one :)). Also, again (mentioned it in the liveblog or just before), I don't know that I've ever gotten to watch it live before, so this was the perfect episode to get to do it :D.

Loved the episode!!!

Happy 100th Episode guys 🥂🥰🥰. I love this show and you all so much :DD.

See you next time!!

#the rookie #oasis's the rookie chatter #oasis's rookie chatter #the rookie 100th episode #the rookie 6x02 #loved it :DD #honestly such a good episode #and loved the hunor throughout all the drama :DD #honestly despite everything it was mostly humor and I really loved that :)) #it was needed lol #not like in a yikes 😬 way but just to get right tone across I think :)) #especially because bailey and nolan's storylines are usually (at least) a bit silly anyway so it really fits them :)) :D #anyway I love them so much and I'm so happy for them :)) they totally deserve this 🥰🥰🥰 #see y'all later for episode 3 :D! #happy 100th episode 🥳🥳🥂🎂 #I love you all :DDD ❤️❤️❤️❤️!!! #byeeee :))) 🥰🥰🥰 <333!!!!

Drunk and disorderly, You, rookie SWAT member. How're the team's reactions to that?

warnings : Alcohol use, bad reacts to that.

A/n : hello my peeps, since i'm so fucking busy i can't even get myself to open my tumblr account, i will be squeezing in some time to write headcanons since they're much easier and less linked. Fuck linkers.

------

Hondo :

Hondo stands in front of you, a threatening stance that screams disappointment. "What were you thinking ?" His voice is low. You shrink. Your head is already pounding, you were even sure that it wasn't from a hunger, you were still a bit drunk. You didn't need a lecture from your boss, now.

"Come on, Hondo." you huffed, throwing your arms down in annoyance. "It was a mistake i wasn-"

"You weren't NOTHING."

You stagger back at the sudden rise in his tone, rolling your eyes in response.

"Don't roll your eyes at me." Hondo menaces again. "If you're not going to be taking this seriously, i don't want you on my team."

Your mouth moves to talk, but Hondo turns on his heels and leaves. "Hondo you can't do that, you know."

You internally wince at the confidence that resonated in your voice. What a risk taker. You knew that and Hondo did as well, because he turned around, a smirk creeping at the corner of his lips.

He didn't like being challenged. And both of you knew who the winner was already. "We'll see about that."

Chris :

Chris glares at you...She watches you from afar as she judges you, both in a hurtful and a disappointed manner.

"Are you going to keep doing that or are you gonna say it to my face ?" You spread your arms out, motioning for her to "come at you" "Just say it, I fucked up."

A scoff escapes her lips, quickly turning back to a glare. "You did more than that, stupid. You betrayed the whole team. Our whole reputation is on the line." Chris eyes you up and down, as if linguistically jabbing your heart wasn't enough.

great.

Deacon :

The sergeant is as nice as he's always been. Never has he acted different, never has he made you feel weird. His eyes, though, cannot lie.

Deacon smiles reassuringly, apprehensive of the massive headbanging you're going through. You're embarrassed and angry. He sees that.

"Here." He hands you a bottle of water. "Drink." He commands but it sounds more like a plea. You'd look him in the eyes and thank him but he's been avoiding yours. Deacon's eyes say it all. No matter how nice he might be to you. His eyes reflect his thoughts.

"Deacon-I'm-i-i'm sorry." You stutter the words out. He neither reacts nor responds. "I know i shouldn't hav-"

"Please..." The sergeant stops you and a tiny little gasp leaves your lips as your back straightens. "Please...You should've thought about that before doing it...I just hope god forgives you. And i hope you understand that actions have consequences."

You lower your gaze to the ground, knowing full well this was going to happen. Uhhh...Why did a little fun night have to turn into such a problem ?

Street :

The boy man's thick eyebrows furrow in confusion. Confusion with one's feelings. You needed a friend. He was a friend. He just...didn't know what to do.

"Street, i was there for you when you were in trouble." You protectively yelled, searching for the man's eyes while they avoided you. "Come on, ma-"

"It was nothing like this." He suddenly shouts and you startle in surprise. "It was nothing like this. Okay ? You fucked up, for no reason. We don't need this kind of publicity right now-we-"

"Street, fuck publicity. I need my friend." You cut him off. But he sighs.

"I'm sorry. I can't be that, right now. I need to be on Hondo's team. I have to play this right." Jim's voice sounds like it's about to break. "I told you not to go and not to joke around with that. I'm sorry." He mumbles before he starts walking away. But you swing your arm around to grip his wrist.

"Jimmy, pl-"

He yanks your hand away, his eyes glistening in regret. "No."

Luca :

Your chin shivers as you've just had your whole team eye you up and down before leaving you without a single word. The air hung heavy with their anger. And you just couldn't contain it anymore. You didn't mean to make such a mess of things. It was just supposed to be a fun ni-

You're interrupted by a set of boots entering the room. You recognize them.

"Luca." Hope laces your voice as your head quickly swings upwards. He came back for y-

Luca brushes past the bench you sat on, not granting you one little glance. "Luca, i'm sorry." You plead, standing up to follow him to his locker. But he ignores you, speeding up to get away from you.

"Luca, plea-"

"I'm so disappointed in you." the agent spins around, spitting the words right in your face.

Out of shock, you step back. And before you even have the time to react, Luca takes a step forward. "You betrayed the whole team. But you betrayed me."

"H-"

"Are you seriously going to ask me that?" He hisses and you take another step back, shrinking as his anger amplified. "I told you not to drink if you're going to act like an absolute freak. Now look at us, all over the news because one of our own decided to have more fun than she can handle."

Ouch. Your heart stings as tears pool at your eyes.

"I said to you yesterday not to drink too much. You promised me you wouldn't."

He's right...You fucked up. "I f-f-fucked up." You mumble in between sniffs. But that doesn't seem to help your case. Because Luca's face grew redder.

"Yeah, well." The officer pulls his shirt over the back of his hand, hiding them in the process. "You should've thought about that yesterday. It doesn't matter now." As low as one can speak, Luca mutters the last words before turning on his heels, leaving you once again, alone.

You shudder, bursting into uncontrollable sobs. You had it. The family. The protection that you so longed for. And you threw it away. You needed to gain their trust again. Fuck this headache and fuck fun. You needed your family again. And you're going to get it back, no matter what.

First thing on here! yaaay! i hope somebody likes this. Please tell me what you think 🥀🥀🥀❤❤❤

MAG 192 Relisten

Activity on my first listen: mowing the lawn.

MARTIN: "Wait, seriously? I thought you had this whole ‘invisibility cloak’ thing going on?" GEORGIE: "Sure, but I’m not exactly keen to test it against the eyeball tower guardians. I don’t know the limits of our ‘invisibility’, and it seems pretty dumb to saunter up and hope it works on them." That's fair. Considering she just threw a pebble at them and they reacted. I'm sure that pebble stone also doesn't feel fear, which means they still very much react to other stimuli like sound, touch maybe etc.

JON: "And tell Melanie… Tell her I’m sorry." GEORGIE: "That’s… not what she wants to hear from you." JON: "Well, then… what does she want?" GEORGIE: "I don’t know. But… it’s not going to be another apology." Uhhh, I'm also at a loss here, what would be the appropriate thing to say? Way I see it, they don't really have anything left to say to each other...

GEORGIE: "Anything you’ve got to say to me, that can wait too." So, and in case he doesn't come back? I just don't understand these two girls anymore...

MARTIN: [Wearily] "Ah, sure. Lead on, Macduff." JON: "It’s, uh, “Lay on –”" MARTIN: [Frustrated] "Sh– I know, I know! I know. Go. Just go." Hahaha, theater kid...

JON: "I insist." [ROSIE SIGHS] ROSIE: [Softly] "Your funeral…" And yours, Rosie. Big Boss won't come out an yell at Jon, he'll yell at Rosie (as far as he is able to right now... Or, if this was pre-Change). That's the thing about being front desk. You're just the person everybody gets to yell at. God I hated that shit...

ROSIE: "Yes I – Yes, I-I understand, I jus– I – Sorry to interrupt." See? What did I say...

Nosy Rosie... Of course she's Eye-aligned...

Oh god, I hate job interviews. I hate being put on the spot, hate stupid questions, or the questions that are none of their business...

"'So why do you want this job, Ms. Zampano?' ‘Because I need money to live, you pompous ass,’ she didn’t answer." Yeah, stupid questions like this! Oh, because sitting at a desk doing paper crap while being on display to get yelled at by everyone is my goal in life! Sure, idiots...

"They weren’t actually Cockney, she knew that for certain. They might as well have been asking to take that table up the ‘apples and pears’." Oh, that one of these cockney slang things, like dog and bone? Do people actually say things like that? I actually do not have any British friends, I don't know which phrases are actually used in the UK and what isn't... Like raining cats and dogs? Do British McDonald’s say "chips" instead of "french fries"? The name we call fries in Austria has actually changed since I was a child. We used to call them Pommes Frites ("Pomm Free-ts", I guess it's French? I'm a total dummy when it comes to French, but “french” fries...), but now everyone says "Pommes", so we do now actually say the silent "es". ... Okay, I now googled UK McDonald's and it says fries? xDD 

"‘Jonathan Sims’, the name read. She knew him. Well, knew of him, the things they said about him in the break room, the sort of things that passed across Mr. Bouchard’s desk about him." [...] "Sims was different. He was insecure, aggressive, desperate to be taken seriously. Of course, having seen his file, Rosie kind of understood. Why on earth Mr. Bouchard had given him the job at all was a mystery to her, but it didn’t make it any easier to talk to him." That is so Eye of the Eye (does that make sense? xD). To feed Jon what people thought about him...

"She still smiles, though. Just in case." God, that gets me...

It is really cool to see all these events through the eyes (heh) of someone else, someone in the periphery.

"Behind his desk, without missing a beat of his conversation, Elias caught her eye, and suddenly she was a child again, creeping towards the rotten board in her parents’ attic, burning to know what lurked behind it, [FLOORBOARD CREAKS WARNINGLY] unsuspecting of the squirming nest of half-dead insect bodies she was about to reveal. [INSECTILE AND SQUIRMING NOISES] Then she was back in the office. Mr. Bouchard was still smiling." Hehehe, Elias doing his memory insertion thing...

"What if he got angry? She couldn’t afford to lose this job. She couldn’t." I am, fortunately, in a very privileged position of being almost unable to be fired, but I'm the same... Afraid the boss will get angry. She can't fire me, but she can make work a living nightmare for me. And she knows it. And she knows that I know.

"but… what if it made Mr. Bouchard angry? Why did the thought of that terrify her so?" Yeah that. Rosie's statement got me a lot more than that of MAG 188, which did sound very much like a social anxiety statement.

"She was working for evil. Not someone misguided, not selfish, but truly evil. And she knew she was going to sit there and ignore that fact. She knew the sort of information he had on everyone, and now she knew what he was capable of, what he might do if he thought Rosie might be a threat." Capitalism is the enemy!!!11

"People have come to see Elias. No. Not people. Not anymore." Ouch... (Thinking of Jon and Martin here because she wondered about helping them.)

"Where else could she have gone? Mr. Lukas was dead. Mr. Bouchard was missing. So many friends and colleagues dead. The violence, the gunshots. The old man and his… daughter? Their murderous joy. She couldn’t stop thinking about their faces. How they had looked right past her as they ran through the building." Rosie should get a good therapist when all this is over... And uh... this of course requires a therapist, who can do their job... Like post Change doesn't sound like fun for anyone...

MARTIN: "Oi! Dickhead! Come down here so we can kick your arse!" I'm so proud of you, Martin! xD

MARTIN: "Yeah I got that. What’s wrong with him?" JON: "Nothing. Nothing’s wrong with him. He’s the pupil of The Eye." MARTIN: "Meaning?" JON: "He won." Hmm. I thought it was clear that he won as soon as he got his Eyepocalype? xD What they think he’s doing? Sitting in a corner all sad while listening to Caramelldansen?

And not just because its 4pm in December!

oh shit that's an nice fucken chair ya got there, bud.

Henri about to whoop some tory ass with a candelabra.

Moses just pats him on the shoulder like "Its okay, bud. I wanna fuck 'em up with the neighbor's fancy candelabra, too."

uhhh kinda feel like this guy should be in the surgeon's tent, ya know? Looks like he could use some electrolytes. Also James where the fuck is your coat did you give it to Sarah like a gentleman. Please tell me you did, because its my headcanon now.

...seriously though I think he needs a doctor like the rest of the Army rn fr fr.

Bro even looks like a Zeke. Like

He's gon' wrastle ya.

"And he won't let me use my PTO for this."

"my little french friend" he's your apprentice???? the best spy y'all have on payroll?? Or is "Lil' French Friend" his codename.

They're really taking this 8-year-old 11-year-old running away to the frontlines REALLY well.

Oh my god did codename Lil' French Friend decide to take a fucking boat to New Jersey which is literally right across the river

Oh okay its just America's best hope, Frail Elderly Slut, on his way to sleep with the entire French court.

tf is this guy

Something about the dulcet tones of Walker Cronkite telling me to roll with it. Everything's gonna turn out okay.

...buddy, we empathize, but Benji Franx has the entire hope of America on his shoulders. Also you can write it off on your taxes.

Who would win? Thousands of combined British and German troops, or one Dirty Old Man Slut?

He's seasick, Benji, keep up.

The boys need some lemon-lime gatorade, pronto.

James your 14-year-old-17-year-old body is still stitched together with cartilage and magic, stop judging the sick man.

Guards! Guards! by Terry Pratchett Reading Notes

Full Review Here!

-I've never read anything by Terry Pratchett outside Good Omens (ages ago) 

-Discworld has always been on The List so I followed the general "just pick one" recommendation 

-no chapters :0 here's hoping I organize these notes in a coherent way 

-probably just rando page breaks tbh  

-ok putting a characters drunk rambling in the narration is pretty good. Like drunkenness and blurring state of mind etc 

-oh boy. Footnotes 

-"all this was untrue" oh good. *proceeds to describe something more insane* oh GOOD. 

-... oh no, it IS funny. 

-God the back and forth of nonsense pass codes 

-oh my god the punchline being not just that but they're at the WRONG secret society 😭 

-and the switch to just ordinary pleasantries. With the dramatically grim tone otherwise. Help 

- nooooo another person was at the wrong one. Boomerang-ass joke 

-youve done it, you've broken down megalomaniacal villains to their bare essentials! 

-ok it dawned on me their titles are their professions. Lmao. Brother Plasterer literally a Plasterer. 

-thunder rolled... a six 

-the sword being unique because it's not obnoxiously prophetic/magical 

-"it's a terrible thing to be nearly sixteen and the wrong species" brother, ain't that the truth 

-wait. This is the premise of Elf. Hello? 

-damn, dwarves a bunch of nonbinary kings I guess 

-I like that the word "king" is nonliteral, at least in the way we would think it, but by technicality fits the prophecy shit or w/e 

-"You have to know all the laws to be a good officer" ooooog 

-oops! You're a dragon now 

-thieves threatening to strike lmao 

-"do not let me detain you" brooo lmao 

-thieves having state sponsored organized and licensed crime with annual quotas! So like. The actual cops, not The Watch 

-ok I'm not the only one seeing the poop jokes right. "Back to front way of living." "Sergeant Colon." Vimes enters the story basically in the sewer. 

-If The Fantasy Noir Aesthetic Was Not Obvious Enough Here Is A Magic Glowing Sign That Is Flickering Random Letters 

-nicotine elephants graveyard? Where did he come up with this shit lmao 

-there are a lot of boomerang jokes 

-oh boy them giving Carrot a drink. Like hes not a biological dwarf but. Uhhh 

-ok this has a lot of good bits. But one of my faves wasn't actually a joke. "There were some types of sobriety that you just couldn't budge." So true bestie 

-is the Patrician also the Supreme Grand Master? 

-ok probs not based on that line. And wouldn't make sense based on the SGM's motivation 

-sybil ramkin token chick but also. GIRLBOSS 

-i don't often say this but the sex jokes are really good lmao 

-there are so many good lines that I have to hold myself back but. "A group of swamp dragons was a slump, or an embarrassment" 

-"and then they realized." What a transitional statement 

-"it dawned on him that he was very probably a flawed character" like hello? 

-okay, I like the contrast between Vimes' alcoholism and the SGM saying "I can give it up any time I like" about summoning the dragon. 

-though side detail, It's interesting we havent actually seen him control the dragon from his perspective 

-a little funny that the currency is just dollars 

-"the curious incident of the orangutan in the nighttime" we getting Sherlock Holmes references now 

-the implication it isn't a "real dragon" but it's effect seems to be. Is the SGM transforming into one 

-one thing I like but didn't necessarily expect is there's sobering seriousness throughout the story 

-and sometimes the serious bits are told like a joke. You know? 

-all the innuendo with vimes and ramkin is so fucking funny dude 

-vimes sympathizing with the swamp dragons 🥺

-"in another few hours, the sun will rise"-ass line 

-oh the use of typeface 

-fucking MORPHIC RESONANCE, Terry?! 

-oh good to know New Orleans and Rio are Discworld-canon. 

-halfway point of the book and there's a bookend with a rainy night 

-I like that vimes is way smarter than he or the narrative give him credit for cause he's also Just Some Guy 

-oh i like that the summoning goes both ways. Uh oh! 

-ok is this an extended balls joke or am I extremely immature 

-my totally batshit theory: the watch guy who died (Gaskin) is the Supreme Grand Master 

-im so ffxiv brain poisoned but "noble dragons don't have friends. The nearest they can get to the idea is an enemy who is still alive." IF you know you know 

-Lady Ramkin is so fucking cool she just grabbed the horses out of the mist and dragged them back what the fuck 😭

-you know shit about to get real when the Death typeface shows up 

-t-time travel is it? 

-the number of times this printing has typoed Vimes as "Vines" 

-the story has made many comparisons about the dragon's behavior being "practically human", but when we got the dragon's perspective it was more that it had an intelligence that pre-dated anything anthropomorphic so I'm not sure what to think on that 

-the giant fucking dragon hanging from the ceiling like a bat is pretty funny though 

-Oh This Is An Allegory For Capitalism. I See. 

-well this took a turn from light hearted fantasy-flavored ribbing to uh. Kinda horrific! I'm a little impressed tbh 

-oh my god WONSE was the Supreme Grand Master. That just hit. 

-ok well played, he was kind of a prick, and way over qualified for a SECRETARY position 

-and he got that extra characterization for seemingly no reason 

-... AND his flat denial about the dragon being back and his anger at Vimes for it. This makes a lot of sense. 

-I guess you could make the argument "wolf in sheep's clothing" since his surname is literally Lupine 

-The Poop Jokes Are Back, But No One Is Laughing Now 

-okay the previous scene makes it seem like the dragon is coming up with this horrifying arrangement itself. And now we learn it's really Wonse trying to make it "better". 

-but my honest and genuine surprise at the dragon REALIZING this, and its actual HORROR at how horrible people can be by nature. WOOF. 

-so I guess that's the "almost human" connection cause. No it's not. That's just how people read and projected it. 

-"we [dragons] never burned amd tortured and ripped one another apart and called it morality" like hello??? This is so dark all of a sudden 

-I guess the comedic tone elsewhere lets Terry sneak this shit in and make it stick especially hard. 

-^ this is nothing but praise, to be clear. I've read a lot of "silly-humorous but with darker moments" work but this might be the best example I've read so far. 

-did we need a canon explanation/justification of Vimes being an alcoholic? 

-ALTHOUGH. isn't that like. Lack of natural alcohol an actual thing? Am I insane? I swear I've heard of that before. 

-like I'm sure missing natural dopamine production which means I do need to take stimulants to function but I'm not sure if that's comparable 

-not to over analyze this but that sort of implies drinking doesn't even make him drunk unless he has way too much which adds some interesting context to previous bits. 

-in before it was literally just a joke��

-If You Somehow Didn't Figure Out It Was Wonse We Are Spelling It Out Here 

-oh shit he said the line 

-I am just shocked that the one token female character is the designated sacrifice, lol. At least she's a GOOD character 

-I will be a little annoyed if she's just a damsel in distress for vimes, considering she just charged six guards with a broadsword and only lost cause one of them tripped her 

-ok the bit about the Patrician and the rat unlocked a forbidden memory of me reading like one chapter of a YA novel in the Discworld series when I was like. Ten 

-i don't remember what it was called lmao 

-one bit I liked in the arrest scene is it was very trope-referential, like literally naming what a hero is supposed to do in a scene like this. But unlike say 90% of adult animation, it actually like. Made a joke of it. "There IS no fireplace!" 

-like the bar is low but YES! JUST BEING AWARE OF THE TROPE ISNT A JOKE! YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING WITH IT! THANK YOU! 

-"never build a dungeon you wouldn't be happy to spend the night in yourself" ok Patrician kind of based actually 

-the sudden strange implication (?) that one can see a thousand miles away with how the Discworld is structured? It might have been metaphorical 

-i love the whole bit about million-to-one odds always working (like the cliche), but then the rank rethinking the actual odds as way better, so now they have to do something to make their odds of success worse 

-the fucking bit being they don't make the million to one shot at the dragon but DO make the million to one chance of surviving being hit by its flame. My god. 

-oh my god errol is farting flame to fly??? Like a rocket? INSANE. 

-ok is that one Tumblr comic about the wolf  needing to get lucky only once literally from a line in this book. I guess there might be something they're both referencing that I just don't know 

-oh my god the twist of the dragon being female. I guess I take the comment back about Lady Ramkin being the only one. Lmao. 

-Shrek moment? 

-i like that explaining Errol's weird behavior and how he like. Decides he has to. Court her? I guess? That's pretty funny. 

-ok I basically chalked and dismissed The Patrician as just like, a Lawful Evill Ruler type but he has a fun amount of depth. 

-ok I like the echo of "Guards! Guards!" as the title line summoning the protagonists this time 

-ive resisted saying it but I have to now. Carrot autistic king 

-Vimes telling the Patrician to shut up. Character growth 

-"killed by a... metaphor" ... "looked like the ground to me" RAW ASS LINE 

-ok this was earlier but I forgot to note it. I like that textually we know Vimes doesn't choose swords because he associates them with heroes. And when he decides to go to the palace for Wonse, he asks for Carrot's sword. 

-"is that you, Brother Doorkeeper? METAPHORICALLY, it said." RAW ASS LINE!!!

-ok. The whole monologue about all of humanity being evil like. Man if that isn't how I feel, sometimes. It's a little cathartic to read. Evil not because they say yes, but because they don't say no. Yeah... 

-is this the first time we've heard Vimes' first name? Book almost over? 

-CASABLANCA? Fucking Casablanca? 

-well that was pretty good! I'll need to think and organize my thoughts

[a-student-out-of-time]

So uhhh I’m guessing you saw the latest ep? I hope you’re okay

//My apologies, everyone. I did not have a fun time with that episode and I got very upset.

//But I've taken some time and applied some of my DR-savvy mind to this episode and I'm going to give you a (probably delulu) theory on what actually happened here:

//Simply put, I don't think that's actually Arei. I'll explain why:

She made it clear how much she hated being reminded of these things, about people who'd send her rope on her birthday. Even after her emotional breakdown, I can't believe she would actually do this. One could argue someone killed her with it, but:

There's been so much emphasis on Arei's character and backstory, and to have her die now would not only feel like a complete waste, but it feels like it was setting up for something deliberate involving her.

As others have pointed out, the changing rooms in the clothing store- the same floor as the playground- are soundproofed. Arturo couldn't hear what J and Teruko were talking about in there, even though he was right outside.

That moment where Teruko and Veronika had their weird and inexplicable conversation about prosopagnosia and how Teruko's not good at recognizing faces. That felt so odd to include...but the fact that we didn't even get a good look at the face with that reveal is telling.

The fact that David drew so much attention to the fact that Arei is missing, and everyone spent so long worrying about her being dead. That's so obvious and played so straight that I genuinely can't believe it would ever really happen. This is meant to get us to remember who was at the scene and who left in what order.

Rose brought up that her turpentine is missing. Something that Teruko pointed out could be use to knock someone unconscious.

The Motive Reveal situation also drew so much attention to the fact that 13 people were in the auditorium. That was bolded in yellow and feels so weird to include if it's not going to be important for later.

Most importantly, the BDA cut off right at the end. We didn't get any details, any closeups, anyone musing on the fate of the victim, or anyone actually checking the body. We got that with Xander in Chapter 1, but not here? In fact, think about it: has that ever happened genuinely in any of the games? All we got was the body swinging from a long distance, no closeup of the face or anyone saying the name, just the "A body has been discovered" announcement and then it immediately cuts off.

//Maybe it's because I've absorbed so much DR-related content at this point, but this reveal feels much too obvious, too straightforward and too weird for me to take it seriously. I honestly can't buy that DT, which has done so well at averting these tropes so far, would suddenly go this route.

//Instead, I think Arei's actually alive somewhere, and that body is someone else dressed up to look like her. They're close enough to the changing rooms, nobody would've heard and we've yet to see anyone except Teruko, Whit and Eden find the body.

//Until we can actually get a headcount and confirm that, yes, that is actually here and everyone else is accounted for, that I'm comfortable with saying that it's not actually her.

//Maybe I'm crazy, but the way this is set up feels far too weird for me to take it seriously. This is too obvious, it has to be setting up for something else.

//This series excels at getting you worked up with seemingly obvious reveals, only to hit you with something that you may not have seen coming if you weren't paying attention.

//All I'm saying is, if it happened with Kaito and Kokichi, it could happen here too

//Until everyone is accounted for, I'm not going to be convinced

15 Questions | 15 People

Rules: Answer these 15 Questions, then Tag 15 People 

omg okay so ignore the fact that it's been well over a week and pretend I didn't absolutely forget about this. but thank you for the tag @the-francakes 💚

1. Are you named after anyone? Well originally yes, but since we ignore that name and I'm gonna get it legally changed eventually I'm going to tell you something more interesting. I named myself after a star: Felix means lucky, and Antares is the brightest star in the Scorpius constellation and sometimes known as the "heart of the scorpion". So I loosely named myself after my birth sign and a combo that could be interpreted as "lucky star". (also I just really like the name Felix and have since I was like 15)

2. When was the last time you cried? I can't remember, honestly. probably something small and dumb when I was overly frustrated and the tears definitely weren't actually about the thing I was crying over haha

3. Do you have kids? Lmao absolutely not.

4. Do you use sarcasm a lot? No, not at all.

5. What’s the first thing you notice about people?  It really depends on the person? Typically clothes/hair but working as a security guard means that I notice a lot really quick just bc I'm trained to.

6. What’s your eye colour? Light brown!

7. Scary movies or happy ending? Oh happy endings for sure - not because I enjoy them more than anything else mind you (I love a good tragedy) but because I can't do scary movies, i'm a big baby - jump scares are a no go for me. I know not all scary movies have jump scares but they stress me out so bad the whole genre just kinda got ruined for me, not worth the risk.

8. Any special talents? Does art count? Idk if it counts as special since I went to uni for it. I also bake and decorate cakes and stuff, which not a lot of people know. I got paid for it a couple times in high school.

9. Where were you born? Canada :)

10. What are your hobbies? oh man, this question is always hard. Because art is my hobby, but also a job and also my education, so like ??? is it a hobby? but it's all I do lmao so I don't have any other answer.

11. Do you have any pets?  Yes!!! The fluffiest, stupidest little cat named coffee bean whom i adore with my whole heart. I would probably do anything for her 🥰

12. What sports do you play/have you played? I haven't played a sport since I was 14 and broke my wrist playing soccer in the rain (though I will say I played the rest of the game with it in a bandage and when I got to the doctor he was like "no it's like SUPER broken you should've come here immediately" and now my left wrist makes a funny little cracking noise every time i roll it in a circle).

13. How tall are you? 5'8″ or 5'9" (i forget)

14. Favourite subject at school? You know, you'd think with the everything about me it'd be something like english, history, or social studies, or maybe even theatre, but it's actually math. I did an AP Calc class just for fun even though I had enough credits to graduate without it.

15. Dream job? I have no dream job, I do not dream of labour. But more seriously, I really want to work in animation! I actually prefer drawing environments over characters (funny given I only draw characters these days) but ideally I'd like to do background/environment design for some type of children's animations like Hilda, Amphibia, and the Owl House.

oh god I definitely don't have 15 people to tag but uhhh @girl-with-goats @gloivy @venom0usbarbie @allalrightagain @soloorganaas (i hope it's okay I tagged you!!! i'm so sorry if not) and @vitaminpops

absolutely feel free to ignore if you've done it already or just don't want to!! 💚

Favourite colour - I'm on a bit of a navy blue/black kick recently :3

Favourite food - idk actually. I don't spend enough time thinking about food ahaha. I say "rice" whenever my brother asks this question and it annoys him so much, it's so cute. ("what do you mean just rice?? you've got to be lying!")

Song stuck in your head - OKAY LOOK, I'm actually proud of figuring this out: this is always the song I paused on before going to do something else, and if I go back to listen to the song the whole way through, it stops being stuck in my head. (right now it's Over & Over by Fleetwood Mac)

Last thing you googled - "where does nietzsche say if truth exists it doesn't matter to me" IDK I'm trying to pull an essay out of thin air here D;

Time - 21:05, on the whole a very sane hour to be on tumblr?

Dream trip - drop. me. in. the. middle. of. tibet. and. I. will. live. there. forever. (yes yes college hippie urge to abandon society etc it's true I admit it)

Last book/fic you read - I'm slowlyyy listening to Crime and Punishment atm? and last book I finished was Nietzsche's the Gay Science which is like, idk WHY I do this to myself. he just makes me want to bang my head on the table. And uhhh I really haven't had mental space to read a good long fic recently it's so sad!! I can't wait for holidays when I can spend 2 whole days thinking about nothing else and sink my whole body and soul into a story lol

Last book you enjoyed - I actually really like Crime and Punishment. but also: Worlds of Exile and Illusion by Ursula Le Guin

Last book you hated - Dune. I hated reading it so much really could not stand the prose sorry:((( I rly hope my own sci fi au doesn't read like that haha...

Favourite thing to cook/bake - I'm a rly impatient cook so recently it's a simple spicy soy sauce soup noodles. it's so quick and warm and tastes of home :)

Favourite craft to do in your free time - >:) *inserts my origami sideblog* again, haven't gotten around to anything seriously cool recently but I love a little modular origami/kusudama

Most niche dislikes - (august I stole the beverages theme) idk if this counts but I always go "heh?" when people call bubble tea "boba tea" ahahaha this is so dumb & there's like NO reason at all I don't know why it irks me so much

Opinion on circuses - ...? (I don't... think I know anything about modern day circuses but I suspect it's the sort of thing that could send me into an existential spiral lmao)

Do you have a sense of direction and if not what’s the worst way you’ve gotten lost? - oooh you know what, I'm pretty good with maps and am quite proud of it haha, I did the directions for dad when I was 11 and we had like a week long road trip. that's not to say I've not had the dumbest way of getting lost though— was on a multi-day camping hiking trip this summer and literally FORGOT to bring a map, which is still fine as long as I had my phone but then MY PHONE DIED in the middle of a really fucking long day and then there was a military zone diversion and I couldn't find the fucking path and had to trek on the ROADS for like 2 hrs but then this rly nice man gave me a lift to the next town and all was well.

I read IDW #50.

We already discussed plenty about the whole Metal part. It’s stupid. Sonic comes off as an arrogant, defensive dickhead, and that whole scene is literally a way to distract them without adding anything to the characters. Bad writing. Move along.

I see Kit is in his “I AM THE TALLEST OF MOUNTAINS I AM THE ROUGHEST OF WAVES” phase. It’s a nice contrast compared to his doormat behavior, so I don’t mind. The artist went a little overboard, but that’s a nitpick.

“If you had just taken them out, I wouldn’t have been made!” Oh, for fuck’s sake. Really? Again? Now Surge is the one blaming Sonic for not killing Eggman and Starline? I am so sick of this song and dance! This is the third time! We did this during the MV arc! We did this with the Zeti! Enough! I don’t care how compelling of a conflict it is, I don’t care that it makes sense for Surge to blame her woes on the person she’s programmed to hate, it’s boring! This is the fourth time, clearly Sonic isn’t going to learn!

Also, I can’t fucking believe this. Surge really made fun of Sonic’s “moral code”. I’m sorry Flynn, this lampshade you’re hanging isn’t quite bright enough :V

Nothing to say about the Eggman vs. Starline fight. It’s brilliant. Eggman is the best he’s ever been since the beginning of the MV arc, if not at all, and I love the way he serves Starline some humble pie <3

Tails is also pretty nice. Of course he’d take down Kit thanks to the Power of Friendship lol, although I hope he’s being genuine and not manipulative. And ngl, I always found Kit’s concept really creepy, so seeing him pretty much shortcircuit because 1) someone is complimenting him for the first time in his life, and 2) he’s being treated as an individual and not as Surge’s lackey... yeah alright that’s good conflict.

“Surge has to destroy Sonic! It’s all she wants! I won’t let you stop her!” nope still makes me feel nauseous. Intended reaction, sure, but still.

"I’ve fought a few folks with the whole ‘the world wronged me so i’m going to destroy the world’ schtick” uhhh chaos, shadow, and?

on a plus side love that Sonic is calling Surge’s whole personality a schtick. Yeah, Surge, you’re just a gimmick, sorry.

We also talked extensively about Sonic’s incredibly self-righteous, holier-than-thou speech. I hate it. It’s awful. Sonic comes off as an arrogant prick who only wants to look good but doesn’t actually want to put the effort into it. Moving on.

Okay, this is just funny. Okay, yes, this is Sonic’s canon mentality.. But after that whole speech, I can’t take it seriously lmao. Especially how Surge keeps mentioning Sonic’s “morals”, that’s way too self aware

The encounter between Eggman and Belle was totally pointless. “hey you wanna join me?” “no” “kbye”. Mayyyybe his delight at how Belle interfaced with Metal’s code is foreshadowing? Not counting on it, but I’ll give it the benefit of the doubt because otherwise boy was it anticlimatic.

Sonic immediately rushed to save Eggman when he was about to fall into the lava in Lava Mountain without any sort of joke or “truce”. just sayin’

i do like how petty surge is though lol

Why do you sound like such a patronizing asshole.

yeah, no one could survive that. right.

Welp. That was it. Underwhelming, but not totally awful. Kit vs. Tails was okay, but only because my boy was done justice and I can’t help but feel bad for Kit no matter how boring he is. Surge vs. Sonic 100% infuriating, I hate this Sonic too much, his conflict is annoying and repetitive and he just won’t learn, only shining point is that I relate to Surge accepting that no one gives a shit about her. Starline vs. Eggman, I need that injected into my veins, oh such delicious food in preparations of how they’ll treat him in frontiers i guess please stick with us emperor eggman of the great eggpire <3

Heavy Bakery - Chapter 26

MasterList / Kanami’s Profile /Previous Chapter /ExtraNsfw

Chapter 26 - Lazy Morning

She wakes up to the sound of her cell phone ringing.

“Uh…” she had put it on “do not disturb” mode, but she had forgotten that the ringtone worked for calls from specific numbers. In fact… it was someone important. She answered “Hiro…?” moans, half sleepy.

“GIIIIIIIIIRL” she had to take her cell phone out of her ear “Where are you, creature of God?! It’s still Friday, honey, and you’re not here?” he then lowers his tone, worried “Did something happen?!”

She then widens her eyes, looking at the time. She was past nine.

“Ooh…!” she wakes up, sitting up “damn I overslept” she grunted, massaging her crumpled face on the bed “I lost track of time, Hiro, sorry…”

"Sorry? Sorry!? Girl I've been calling you for hours, and you almost died the other month, stabbed to death, what do you want me to think, damn it?” he sighs “Woman, don’t do that, my heart can’t take it…”

“Okay, man, sorry, I stayed up late doing…” if she said what really happened, she'd listen to eternity  “… eh, new things.”

“Ahhh, okay, what was it this time?” he seemed interested. What a volatile man.

“Stuff with protein and some different shakes. Remember, that bodybuilder thing and stuff…”

“Oohhh, I want to try it later, if it doesn't taste good, it won't pass” he jokes “ok girl, we already opened things here, do you think you can come today?”

“Well, I…” She was getting up when something pulled her from behind, by the waist “Aaiiee!” as she falls back on the bed “Heyy, don't do that, honey!”

“What was this?!”

"Ahh." She looks back, her cheeks red. Ohma had grabbed her in his sleep “Uhhh, it's my cat… he scared me” at least that was half true.

“Oh, ok… well, you are the owner of the business, you have a little more freedom, at least show up here to punch the clock, right, pretty boo” Hiro snorts “good morning to you… and to Medeyami… and to Ohma too , hihih…”

“What!? What are you…” she didn't have time to reply, her cell phone had turned off. She turned red. How had he…?

“Hnmmm…” Ohma grunts in his sleep.

She tensed, with a lot on her head. Could it be that she… Hiro was sometimes too smart for her tastes. I hope he doesn't spill the beans...

“You're noisy on the phone” he mumbles, taking a deep breath when he wakes up “is it morning already?”

“Yes… it's nine o'clock.”

He opens his eyes at once “Wow, it's late already” he sits down, releasing her from the hug “I haven't slept that much in a while…”

“Well, considering we went to bed quite late…” She was still feeling the effects of last night, even. She smiled “and let's face it, you came back from a fight, you must have been a little tired, right?”

“Hnmm” he doesn't disagree. “you're the one who made me really tired, though.”

“Look who's talking, Lord Kelpthulu of Infinite Stamina.”

“You didn't complain yesterday”

“And why should I complain? I’m not crazy” She leans a little on him, he brings her with him, making her lie on his lap. She sighed.

“But yesterday was pretty intense”.

“Yeah… indeed” she laughs.

“And… weird…” he comments, “but not in a bad way.”

“I imagine it must be new to you.”

“Is it normal to feel this way?”

“Like what?”

“Lazy. But I'm not weakened, my head is even lighter.”

“Ah…” she stretches, on his lap “it's normal, yes, I'm having this too. And feeling even half numb… there”

“Numb?” He raises an eyebrow.

“Yeah… or do you think that all that heavy thrusts I’d be totally okay?” she laughs “And lucky for you, I also do hormonal treatment, so no need to take more contraceptives…”

He gets confused “Did I hurt you? What are you talking about?” and now he was worried.

“No, I’m not hurt. Listen…” She remembers he was uninformed. A quick explanation of the consequences of sexual acts and he was wide-eyed.

“Seriously?!” he shivers, suddenly red and worried “S-sorry… I did know that was something like this but not exactly and…”

“Relax, Ohma…” she smiles “nothing will happen, there are several ways to avoid it, nowadays. I'm safe too.”

He sighs, but still a little flustered “don’t scare me, Kanami…”

“Sorry about that” she smiles “I should have told you before… but I have a tendency to gain muscle, it's because of the very high testosterone levels. Then I have to normalize…”

“Is that why your voice is deeper than other women…?”

“No, that's really normal, I'm just a big woman” she laughs, blushing “I'm of American descent too, so my family on my mother's side is all like that. I'm even smaller than most of them, because of my father…”

“Oh” he imagines a bunch of female bodybuilders the size of Kengan fighters, and starts to laugh when he imagines two blonde girls with the body of Adam, another American he knew “pffff…” and he can't stop laughing “huhuhuhuhhahahaa…. now i'm curious to see that…”

“Hey, now that you fucked me do you already want to meet my family?” she jokes.

“I just wanted to see. I just saw your mother's picture on the counter, she doesn't look big, just fat and tall.”

She should have been offended by that one, but it was Ohma, so she laughs “if you tell her that, she'll pull your ear and leave you without dinner.”

“That’s Cruelty,” he nodded, grimacing, “so I won't.”

“Well” she brings her hand to his face, and caresses it, slowly “I wouldn't mind showing you to them, one day, though. I just… I want to settle some things between us first.”

“Ah… yes…” he sighs, mentally tired “half of the problems I have are people wanting a piece of me.”

“Who could blame them? You’re so hot…” She tries to joke, but he just snorts, a little annoyed. Her smile fades “Oh, sorry… didn't mean to sour the mood.”

“No, it's fine” he looks at her “I don't care. But now I want a piece of someone too…” he winks “Hey, wait, I don't want a piece. I want the whole cake.”

She laughs “this is unusual for you to say these things… but relax, I don't share this cake here” she strokes his hair more, getting up to give him a kiss “speaking of cake… let's enjoy the day a little more.”

She gets up, and he lets her out. She turns around a little “don't you want to accompany me in the bath?”

He smiles and goes with her.

They weren't going to leave anytime soon.

…

But she managed to get to the bakery.

She returned to take orders. Good thing she made leftover dough, so most of it stayed in the fridge and baked the next day. Of course, Tomori also knew how to make most of her recipes, which made the job easier... but of course, she sometimes couldn't handle it herself, and that's why she had the assistant... The kitchen could only work with one person, but she wanted to at least give some sign that nothing was wrong, she was just late…

The problem is that she was practically never late, she was always the first to arrive, and the last to leave… "Hiro already suspected, could it be that I'm starting to give hints?" she thought, a little nervously.

“Uh… Kana, so are we going to add these recipes to the menu?” Tomori looks at Kanami, who was tapping her fingers on the kitchen table, at the end of the day, with the bakery closed “Kana!”

Kanami is scared “Oh, oh, sorry.”

“My God, you're airy today” Hiro comments “what happened?”

“Nothing… my bedtime was changed, that's all” she sighs, trying to get back to business mode “yes, yes, those ones. I took a look at the amount of calories and carbohydrates in our recipes, and most of us are going to leave it, but there are some that we will need to modify…” she yawns “we have a very positive balance, and as customers practically doubled due to the contacts I made in the last six months, I think it's good that we adapt to them.”

Hiro nods, seriously “I still think our point doesn't work well here for this menu, Kanny. Here in this area there are many entrepreneurs and employees, who just want a snack…”

“There isn't a gym at least ten blocks away…” Paikon agrees, with a can of beer in his hand. Kanami already gave up on making him stop drinking… but meh, at least he did his job.

“That's why I give you all a mission” she puts her hands on her hips “together with me, from today, whenever we can, we'll find a point more in line with our business vision. Even more so when our biggest income started to be with these gym guys…”

“I have no idea how to start” Paikon sighs, ‘but I can ask around, or even look for a realtor.”

“Do your best, Paikon” Kanami taps him lightly on the shoulder.

“I can ask Naoya-kun” Tomori suggests excitedly “​He's an MMA fighter, so he might have contacts too…”

“You finally got him, huh, girl?” Hiro laughs, Tomori blushes, getting shy.

“Yes… I found out after some time he's just adorable” Tomori smiles “but I imagine he wouldn't refuse to help us, after all, he's our friend too.”

Hiroki nods, crossing his arms “if so, I can do that too. I have some friends who can help” look at Kanami “you too, right? The wrestling guys…”

“Yes, I thought about them exactly” she smiles “I'll ask next time, when I train.”

“Ask your seaweed-head boyfriend too, maybe he knows something…” Hiro teases.

“Hiro…” she clenches her fists “I swear to you if you hadn’t been my friend since high school…”

“Hey, did I say something wrong?” He pouts “Got a nerve huh?”

“He's not my boyfriend!” She punches the table, shaking some pans. Hiro raises his hands in surrender.

“Okaay, okay… I just wanted to cheer you up…” he sighs “okay, business mode now, we have a mission, do we have a deadline?”

“This month. Then we have an idea of ​​the value until we finish this next season. After that, we'll have work to do. Hope you enjoyed your vacation…”

“A week’s vacation is nothing, Kana-chaaaan” Tomori whimpers “Just because you can’t quit work doesn’t mean we can’t…”

“Sorry, guys…” she sighs “but seriously, I promise, when we change the point, and build everything, I will organize the finances with the accountant and we will end up with at least a month of forced vacation. Is it good for you?”

“Oh, in that case.” Tomori relaxes. Hiro and Paikon smile.

“But what about you, Miss Oomori?” Paikon intervenes, now worried “you don't get anything?”

“Hey, but didn't you just say that I love working…?”

“Yes, but you'll have to inspect the building and give orders, it's not a real vacation” Tomori pouted.

“And don't forget that you're going to train at least three times a week” Hiro adds, crossing his arms “and yesterday you went to bed late making this project, that's insane.”

“Then she dies of exhaustion and she doesn't know why…” Paikon completes, looking at the bottom of the beer can.

“What's this guys, I'm fine” she smiles, awkward  “really…”

“And we're worried about your health” Hiro says “Really, girl, go travel, visit your parents, do anything. How long do you not talk to them?”

Kanami is taken by surprise, even by the coincidence of the subject of the day, that she had spoken with Ohma. She shakes her head, to stop remembering.

“I've been texting and calling them. They're fine” she sighs, remembering her mother's scolding for taking so long to call, the other month. She was going to change that, but for now… “I already told them about the change of stitch, then when I have some good time, I'll show up. Satisfied, you nosy little thing?” she shoots Hiro with her eyes.

“Yes, thank you” he smiles “but I still want to see pictures of your trip, different landscapes, everything. I'm going to hunt your instagram, do you understand me?”

“Yes, James Bond” she laughs “I don't even have a personal instagram…”

“But I'm going hunting, I want all the pictures.” He winks.

Kanami grunts.

“Okay guys, since we are now starting to talk about personal life AGAIN” she points to Hiro with her head “I declare this meeting closed.”

Paikon and Tomori say goodbye and leave, the air-conditioned kitchen becomes lighter. The other two were already past the locker room and out the back door.

Hiro, however, remained where he was, sitting in the chair. Kanami already expected this one.

“What is it, Satan’s Spawn?” She spits, hands on shoulders.

“Me?” he looks at his nails, with raised eyebrows “Nothing…”

"So I think it's all right for today, huh?" she starts walking to the locker room.

“Don't think you're fooling me, girl” he says, and she stops in place “I already know everything…”

Kanami turns around, curiosity getting the better of her “of what?”

“Uh…” he smiles, malicious “Are you trying to hide it? How cute, but you've been a lot happier lately, looking at your phone with a cute smile, it seems that now you're dedicating yourself more and more to training... what happened?”

Kana sighed. As she'd said, he was too smart for his own good.

“I'm finally surrendering and getting back on my feet, and as on my phone, can't I see pictures of my cat?” she circles around, rolling her eyes “he's been pretty cute lately…”

“It's been a while since I've seen Medeyami, in fact” Hiro nods “but no, dearie, I know you well. I even remember that face you made since you were with Takahashi-”

“Don't talk about that idiot.” She cuts the air with her hand in warning. It was a boy she liked in high school, and they even got together… until she saw that he was with five others “What do you want from me? Spit it out, creature.”

“I want you happy, Kanny” he raises his arms “wow, is it too much? Yes, your career is taking off, and your health is on the rocks, but, you know, you're almost thirty... you know what they say about single women…”

“We're in the second decade of the twenty-first century, Hiroki” she crosses her arms, approaching “don't put this card on the table, it doesn't stick anymore... and I'm not 100% Japanese to stick to those traditions.”

“Okay, cool” he rolls his eyes, would have to use another tactic “But answer me one thing, so... that cat of yours is two meters tall, strong as a bull and a seaweed head? The voice you did on the phone was not what you do with Mede-chan.”

Kanami's eyes widen, blushing with a gasp.

“Bingo.” he makes a little gun with his fingers “I hit the bull's eye, right?”

Kanami grunts.

“You’re interfering into my personal life…

“Come on, Kana, I'm your friend before I'm your employee, remember?” he pouts “I really appreciate the help you gave me when I was in shit, I just want to reciprocate…”

“Then reciprocate by keeping your mouth shut” she leans on the table, intimidating “For you, Ohma and I are just friends, right?”

“Okay, I promise. There's nothing, I haven't seen anything, I don't know anything” he sighs, resigned and a little sad “it's just… it’s been a while since I saw you be happy like that. If there's a problem with you, I feel like an idiot for not being able to do anything. You are the sister I never had.”

Kanami disarms. She wanted to give him a hug…but she also knew the idiot was a natural manipulator, so he was good at business.

“Hiroki” she approaches, sitting on the edge of the table, close to her friend “the thing is… I want to be with him, but… it's complicated.”

“So let go of him” he huffs “if the guy is the type that looks like he's going to end your life, give the foot in the sucker’s butt and…”

“It's not him, it's the people who want him…” she tries to speak in a few words “look, in short, he's trying to get rid of some kind of arranged marriage, but no one listens to him, because the girl is rich and stuff … and he kind of owes these guys, which complicates the situation…” she suspected that a girl from a clan of assassins going to college might at least be rich, so it might be true.

“Wow, what a situation…” he grunts “This is still confusing, but ok, ok... if you don't want to get me involved in this, I'll keep quiet. But look, if this starts to harm you, I'll start to scream to find help, see?”

“I know you will. But I'm staying away from this. And I won't let anything get to you” she smiles, patting his head “now… can we go home? I want to get my sleep back…”

“Hnm… this time I’ll leave it be” Hiro snorts, getting up “but we are still in the good season, you better keep focusing more on work, Kanny.”

“And did I ever stop doing that? Don't answer” she smiles. Hiro laughs too.

“I mean, don't start lazing around now… not when we're almost there, okay? I want you to be happy, I want you to put a leg lock on that hot hunk, I want you to date him and I want him to always eat here (always paying, of course), but…” he sighs “I already take it for granted that you won't let us down. Please don't let us down, okay?”

Kanami lowers her shoulders, holding an elbow. Of all the people, Hiroki was the only employee in the world she knew for scolding his boss. And she did listen, because usually, when serious, he was right.

“Okay. I will do everything in my power to not let you down.”

“Okay, I'm counting on you” he punches Kanami lightly on the shoulder “Yeah… another subject I want to say… I'm the cashier, after all, so I have to report the finances…”

“And you do that after the meeting, you devil?!” she exclaims, exasperated. Hiroki laughs out loud.

“Just kidding, I'll do it tomorrow. Let's go” and he gets up, leaving the table “See you tomorrow, Kanny.”

“Till morrow, Satan’s Spawn…” she jokes, as he leaves. Kanami sighs.

If she really wasn't careful, things would only get more complicated...

CALLIE & ANGEL — DAY THIRTY

location:   night / bathroom / before bedtime

featuring:   @dobits

ANGEL

“so where are you sleeping tonight?” too casual not to be joking. his growing smile is partly hidden underneath a goatee of shaving cream, eyes flickering in the reflection of the mirror to find her’s. after a beat, angel slumps a bit, rinses off his foamy razor with a ragged groan. “— i shoulda voted for myself, huh?”

CALLIE

snorting a bit, callie leans forward to spit out her mouthwash. "i was thinking of hitting jude up, actually," she deadpans, standing up straight to meet his eye in the mirror. "thank him for the lunch he made me. it's the least i could do." after a beat, she can't help but laugh. "you didn't vote for yourself, you serious? who did you vote for, then?" feels weird to ask why, but the question is there.

ANGEL

“ew,” he scrunches his nose in disgust at the very thought. “trust me, we don’t wanna be anywhere near jude tonight.” there’s a very real chance a certain blonde is gonna be slipping into his bed at some point. that, or he’ll be rage-pacing, probably’ll try and roll a smoke right there under the covers. “no,” he laughs a little haltingly, razor running over his chin. “i thought voting for us would be… i dunno, like, too much or something. i didn’t wanna put you in a weird spot.” a pause. “who’d you vote for? i voted for char.”

CALLIE

her mind goes to the worst at that, making a face that nearly mirrors his. "ew." it's like an agreement. "is he all bent out of shape about romi and dante?" it's only a little unfair that romi got the hideaway yet again, but it beats maddox and seb. she just hopes romi has a good time this time around. grabbing a makeup wipe, she turns around to face him. "i voted for you," she admits, with a laugh. she likes the way he says us instead of himself. "i didn't really know who else to vote for. i figured dante would get it, though. well, him and jenny." eyes flicker to the door, as if the blonde will appear like bloody mary.

ANGEL

“yeah, i think so.” but not enough to not let himself get distracted, fair play to him. “probably better this way though.” back to the rhythm of rinsing the razor, then dragging it over his skin, then do it all over again. “me?” brow raised surprised, same as the corners of his mouth. “shit, i really shoulda voted for me. be honest, i thought we’d still be okay even if i wasted a vote.” his eyes shoot toward the door, too, would hate for char to hear him word it like that. “well, whatever. what’s the big difference anyway?”

CALLIE

"nah, it's fine," she laughs, idly rubbing off her makeup. it would've been nice to be away from everyone for a night and do something new... but there's no denying that the hideaway is a certain level of seriousness that she's not sure she's ready for yet. "i definitely didn't think you were gonna get it, sorry. my biggest disappointment about it is now you've scared me for what jude is gonna be like tonight. do you think him and jenny are gonna shack up?"

ANGEL

“— wait, you look so goofy.” he snorts at the mascara bleeding around her eyes like a raccoon. one hand reaches out to take her chin while the other slips the phone from his trouser pocket so he can take a pic, fingers smushing her cheeks a bit to maximize goofiness. “i coulda gotten it,” angel defends absently, watching her from the screen of his love island-issued phone. “uhhh, yeah, probably. i mean, they got vibes and they’ve both been dumped, so,” shrugs, just a guess. “i think he’ll try and be discreet about it though.”

CALLIE

"hey!" her attempt to swat him away is half-assed at best, before flipping off the camera in the process, so he gets it in the shot. but she's smiling when he pulls away, rolling her eyes before she faces the mirror once more. god, she looks like shit right now. "jude doesn't know the meaning of the word discreet," she snorts. "if seb and rhys weren't going to be even worse on the daybeds, i'd say let's get out of the bedroom." this entire time she's been waiting to see if he brings up the game btw.

ANGEL

snickering to himself as he swipes through the pics he got of her. “i dunno, i’m holding out hope.” phone back in his pocket and angel’s back to scraping off what little hair’s growing above his upper lip, leaned heavily on the counter with his face close to the mirror. “maybe we can go to the living room or something,” he suggests idly, makes no moves to throw it back to the game just yet. “tight squeeze, but we could make it work.”

CALLIE

"what, and sleep on the couch?" she considers it for a second, but somehow that feels nearly as intimate as the hideaway. it's no whips and chains, but like he said, the couch would be a tight squeeze. "it's fine," she shakes her head. "that's why i have earplugs." nudging him away from the sink, she quickly cleans her face. only when he no longer has a razor against his face does she say, "so, some game tonight, huh?"

ANGEL

"okay," he concedes. would probably argue and bargain more if there weren't such a loud elephant in this bathroom. he leans back against the edge of the counter and wipes away whatever remnants of shaving cream are left on his face with a towel, his eyes on her profile. "you're so not subtle," angel quips warmly, smiling with some measure of wistfulness. "i do wanna talk about it with you. i didn't want it to come up like that, i really shoulda just lied to them."

CALLIE

"i'm not trying to be subtle." flashing him a closed-lip smile, she scoots over to give him the sink, hopping up on the nearby counter. "yeah, i figured." part of her feels a little guilty about it, since it was her question, and it was pretty obvious he didn't want to talk about it in front of the group. but if she hadn't asked it, would it have ever come up? they had just talked about exes earlier today. "i'm glad you didn't lie." not really what she wants to hear.

ANGEL

“i wouldn’t have lied to you,” he clarifies, can imagine the events of the game might’ve made his name more synonymous with the concept now. he just wishes she didn’t have to find that out so publicly, in such an inane way. “it was my last ex,” he starts, aligning himself just in front of her. “we just brought out bad parts of each other. they cheated on me, too.” it sounds like a lot of excuses because it is. he exhales, short and tired. “it was at the very end, it was just once. it’s nothing i’m proud of, y’know. i don’t want you to think that that’s me.”

CALLIE

"i know," she nods, because her instinct is to trust him, even if part of her feels naive for doing so. callie had a feeling it had to do with the ex they were talking about earlier, stomach churning at the familiarity of the kind of relationship he's describing. "i'm sorry," she says sincerely, taking his hand so she can thread their fingers together. "look, it wasn't very nice to hear, but... i get toxic shit. my last relationship ended in a similar way. it's why i'm trying to be more cautious this time around." not that she's been doing particularly well there.

ANGEL

“i’m sorry,” he counters, squeezes her hand in his. “no, i get that. i mean, i feel like it was a really big learning experience for me. like i know myself better because of it. i know what i want.” he’d say he feels like he can spot a red flag much easier now, but his bestie’s jude, so… “look, we’re still going one day at a time. still getting to know each other. which, like… i guess officially includes the ugly shit now, too.” wry, humorless chuckle.

CALLIE

"one day at a time, yeah." it feels like a thesis statement in a paper that's getting off track, bogged down by details that aren't ignorable. hearing about his past relationship should unnerve her more than it does probably, since there's something to be said about shared red flags, but he's right about relationships like that being a learning experience. callie knows herself a lot better after her last ex, too. "it's kinda unfair, isn't it? it's been, like, three days. casa's supposed to be the easy part," she jokes, smile small. "what do you want, then?"

ANGEL

“mad unfair,” he agrees with a more genuine laugh. “this is so not day two vibes.” it’s not like he’d be going into detail about past relationships after only the second day of really talking to a girl. still, it’s all been a lot easier, more natural than he’d expected. “well, the communication thing, for sure,” he nods his chin at her, knows it’s the first real promise they’d made to each other. “just something easy, y’know? something fun even when it’s hard. probably something yea high,” he flattens his palm in the air around where the crown of her head usually sits. “gotta be named after my favorite place in the world, too — california.” he’s wearing a playful grin. “and she’s totally gotta be the kinda girl who really reconsiders sleeping in the living room with me.” no idea if that’s allowed, but you can’t blame the man for trying to snatch up alone time like everybody else is doing.

CALLIE

by now callie's used to how ridiculously fast everything moves in the villa, even if she's trying to drag her heels through it this time around. but there's there's an important distinction that while things had felt more serious with frankie very quickly, talking about her past relationship hadn't come up in conversation with her yet. already she feels a little lighter just putting it out there, a pretty serious subjet for her. she's grateful they can move past it too, a smile growing on her lips when she realizes what he's doing. "i am not," she laughs, though god knows how many times she had heard that while in san diego. "do you seriously want to squish on the couch all night? haven't you heard i'm a kicker?" there's mirth in her eyes though, actually considering it now.

ANGEL

“hush, you totally are.” at least in his fantasy she is, the parallel too good to ignore. “yeah, you’re a kicker and you take up all my bed,” angel adds, grinning playfully. “that’s why i’m, like… let’s minimize the space you have to work with.” he turns her hand over between both of his, head tilting. “it’s either that or it’ll be us in bed, me bugging you to take out your ear plugs and talk to me every three minutes.”

CALLIE

"your bed?" she scoffs, though maybe it was his bed. she's made a conscious effort not to sleep in the same bed that she shared with frankie since casa had started. "yeah, that's why you wanna sleep in the living room? so we can talk all night?" she teases, her other arm draping around his shoulder so she can nudge him closer, leaning in. "fine, but on one condition."

ANGEL

head tips back a bit so he can laugh. “is it so crazy and unbelievable that i wanna talk?” it’s, like, 99% of their relationship, they’ve talked ‘til they were basically blue in the face and it still didn’t feel like enough. “we can talk and kiss,” he finally concedes, smile amiable as he leans into her. “tell me.”

CALLIE

she laughs too, hand sliding down to touch his cheek lightly. "at this rate, we're going to run out of shit to talk about." but it's mostly a joke, because there's admittedly so much more she wants to talk to him about, stuff that doesn't involve exes or casa amor. leaning forward, she lets their noses brush playfully. "tell your boy not to make me coffee or food tomorrow, please."

ANGEL

“true — we can just kiss then.” also mostly a joke. angel’s expecting rules, boundaries, discretion, whatever. he’s not expecting her to talk about jude, makes him snort with wry humor. “yeah, after tonight’s shit i feel like he’s gonna have a whole continental breakfast for everybody tomorrow.” just judging by his usual methods of redemption. palms laid flat on the counter on either side of her thighs, angel nods slowly against her nose. “fair. i’ll handle it tomorrow.”

CALLIE

her legs spread apart to give him space to come closer, acting more on instinct than anything. she's not trying to imply anything about tonight; callie just wants to feel the warmth of his body as she finally lets their lips brush lightly. "english breakfast is nasty," she warns him, quietly. "he makes it very hard to be nice to him, y'know."

ANGEL

“do we gotta talk about jude while i’m kissing you?” he jokes quietly against her lips, kisses her featherlight with a smile anyway. “yeah, i know,” he concedes, sighing. “he’s just trying to do the right thing. he means well.”

CALLIE

"you don't want to talk about jude right now?" she teases. she'll remember this later, considering how their night is going to end. but she doesn't want to talk about him either, because frankly hearing angel defend him is a bit of a mood killer. she steals another kiss before pulling away, flashing him an innocent smile. "think you can carry me?" because she's comfortable in this position, thank you very much.

ANGEL

“between you and me, i’m a little tired of talking about the guy.” he’ll be even more tired later, considering how their night is going to end. either way, they’re cuddling. there’s a bit of a surprised laugh, didn’t expect callie to request something like that from him. maybe the whole fucked up exes confession brought them a bit closer after all. “i think i can manage it,” he tells her, scooping her off the edge of the counter and into his arms to carry her out to the living room.

REVIEW

I really loved this episode!!! I thought it was great :DD. There were some really emotional, and (especially) sweet parts :')), but it was also SUPER funny slfkgjhdkls xD. Tommy's storyline was fun and emotional at some parts (and a bit serious given what was at stake) but also SO hilarious sometimes XDD. Paul's storyline was so sad at times :'((( but also really sweet :'). I really do hope he can work things out (or, that things work out I guess) with Asha, because he deserves it :)) <33. And also that last scene of them all playing basketball, plus Tommy, Trevor, and the girls out together, was so sweet and cute 🥰🥰🥰. Also, the cases were great this episode :D! Definitely interesting ones lol :).

Now! Time for the individual parts :).

Marjan! Miss you girl :')) :'(, you're amazing!! I love her :'DD 🥰. But!!! She is returning to us next week :DDD! AAAHHHHH I'm so excited to see her again :))) 🥰🥰!! It looks super dramatic o.o but I'm sure it'll all be okay, and it'll be a fun time :D. I would say she must be doing great at her job, but she currently does not have one lol. Eh, let's say it's travelling - she's great at that lol! Good for her xD <3.

Carlos! Another one to miss <33. And of course, I'm sure he was wonderful at his job today :)). I love him 🥰❤️. But!! We get to see him next weeeek :DD. And it'll be the WEDDING PLANNINGGG :DDD!! Y'all I am so excited for that lol. It's gonna be great :D xD.

Nancy! I loved her this episode :D. She was great, and I loved the little Mateo-Nancy-TK trio 🥰🥰. She was amazing at her job, too :DD. I mean, she literally stood on the back of the firetruck all the way to the hospital xD. Slay, lol. And I really loved her supporting Paul :)). Of course, in a teasing, sibling way lol. It was amazing, and to mention that ending scene again, that was so good :)). And she was great in it :DD!

Mateo! Again, a great member of the Mateo-Nancy-TK trio this episode :DD. Pretty much the same stuff for him as I said for Nancy - he was amazing, and it was great to see the supportive siblingship with Paul :))). Also, the fact that they were all just watching him make coffee xD. It didn't quite turn out right but it was amazing and a great effort Mateo <33, lol 🥰. I love him so much :DD ❤️.

TK! Another great member of the Mateo-Nancy-TK trio xDD. I know it's the third time, but seriously, I loved them so much :)). They were great. The advice and support (and teasing lol) they gave Paul, and just being there 🥰🥰❤️. Also, TK specifically was adorable in that conversation after Asha came through xD. They all were but yk lol. I love him 🥰🥰🥰. Also I am SO excited for next episode xDD. WEDDING PLANNING TIMEEE!! It's going to be chaos lol. And so good xD. I'm so excited lol :)). And of course, TK was great at his job this episode :D. Poor him and Nancy on the back of the truck though lol XDD!

I just realized I probably could've put them all together, but whatever lol.

Judd! He was great this episode :)). It was fun to see him trying to help Tommy a bit, but also it was hilarious XDD. I can only imagine the conversation of Grace spilling the tea on all that went down to him LOL! Amazing xD. But, he did help out in the first scene with him and Grace (though he did also joke around just like the other time XD) ❤️❤️. Also, he was great at his job, as always 🥰🥰. But yeah :)). Adorable wonderful man <33, and great in the end but lol xD. I love him 🥰❤️.

Grace! I love her :DD. She is so amazing 🥰🥰. She was great at her job, as per usual (always) ❤️❤️. And her finding out about Tommy and Julius was just XDD. HILARIOUS, lol xD. And mood girl, it's wild information to receive xD. But I am glad she was there for Tommy, as always, and she was a great friend :D. And her reaction to the smoothie scene was hilarious XD. Our girl was giving us everything this episode lol. But yeah, she did genuinely help Tommy out and give her good advice, so that's awesome too 🥰.

Owen! I really liked how he helped out Paul this episode :D. I mean, he ain't no therapist, but he's not a bad listener :)). Sometimes lol. But it was really nice to see him supporting Paul and trying to help :')). And while obviously their situations aren't quite the same, the story near the end was really good :'). Plus, Gwyn mention 😭😭❤️. Lovely :')). And that is so her xdd. Anyway, I'm super happy he helped Paul regain basketball as a part of his life :'D. Also, Owen was great at his job this episode :)). And, I am excited to see all the crazy wedding planning shenanigans next week XD. This man is going to go INSANE but I am here for it lol. We've been seeing little hints, or things leading up to it, like at the beginning of this episode, and now it's finally time for the real thing xD. I'm not ready but so ready lol. But yeah! I love him <33.

Tommy! I'm really glad everything worked out with her and Trevor :'DD. And Melody, of course lol. It was a great storyline, and definitely had its serious moments, but it was also HILARIOUS at parts XDD. Like when Melody recorded her (or honestly any of the actual confrontations lol), or Tommy talking with Grace and Judd (any of the times) xDD. At least Evie and Izzy were cool with it though lol. I'm glad Tommy and Melody worked it out in the end :'D. Both Tommy and Trevor deserve to be happy, and right now, that's with each other :))). But obviously their kids do too, so I'm glad they are <333 🥰🥰. Also the near ending scene was so sweet :'DD 😭. Obviously Melody would want her mom for that situation, but Tommy was there for her, Tommy helped her, she comforted her, and she was just generally all around awesome :')). She was a good person to be there for Melody till her mom could ❤️❤️❤️🥰. And I'm glad Melody had someone :')). And I'm happy that Tommy could be that :)). They were so adorable ❤️❤️. And all of them in the ending scene!!! They may not be perfect, but they're all learning and navigating this. And they're so sweet :'DDD. I love them all 🥰🥰. Also, of course, Tommy was amazing at her job :D. I love her so much 🥰🥰❤️.

Paul! I enjoyed Paul's storyline so much 😭. It had some really sad parts, but also some really happy parts :')). And together they made it great <3. Real quick, he was as per usual great at his job this episode :))). Anyway! I really love the relationship he has with Asha - they're so cute and sweet :)). Also him getting interrogated by the 126 was so funny XDDD. My poor guy LOL. No escape from the Mateo-Nancy-TK trio lol xDD. Anyway, Owen helping him out was really nice too <33. It's a tough situation. He left a lot of his life behind, t separate himself from it :'((. But I think that, with the regaining of basketball, he's starting to get some of that back :'). To be able to accept it, to know he can still do those things if he wants :'DD <3. And I really hope, for his sake (and for Asha's) that that extends to her too :')). There's just so cute :DD 🥰🥰🥰!! They both deserve to be happy, and they have that with each other (just like Tommy and Trevor :)) ). So yeah, I hope it works out :'DD. It's obviously a super scary thing to do, as we could tell this episode 😭😭❤️, but I think it might be worth it :). Hopefully it is <33 🥰. Also the basketball scene at the end was just so amazing :'DD. It was a bit silly, not in a bad way, just funny :). Lighthearted, I guess :D. But it also meant a lot :')). Plus, y'all know how I love group scenes, especially outside of work 🥰🥰🥰. Which, well, technically they were still inside of work, but whatever XDD. Y'all know what I mean lol. Like, off duty xD. Anyway, seeing all of them together was so fun 🥰🥰❤️. It was such a fun and sweet scene :D. I loved them all your honor <3. Anyway, back to Paul :). He's going through something scary right now, but I know he can do this. I am so, so proud of him :'DD 😭😭❤️. I felt so bad for him at points, because it sucks :'(((. But now he's taking another step forward :)). He deserves to be happy :'))) <33. I love him so much 🥰🥰🥰🥰❤️.

Overall, I really loved this episode! It had a lot of hilarious parts, and a lot of emotional parts :). But the funny parts didn't cheapen the emotional ones, the the emotional ones didn't weigh down the funny ones :'D. It was just a really great balance <333. Anyway! The cases were great :DD! A bit unexpected, with the double call on the pizza one, and the walk in for the upside down lady XD. But they were really cool, partly because of that :D!! Also! I am SO EXCITED for the next episode :DD. It looks like it'll definitely have more drama xD, but I'm cool with that lol. Between Marjan, and that car rescue, and the wedding planning plot!!! This gonna be so amazing :DD. I'm a bit nervous, but so excited :)). Both ready and not ready lol. Anyhoo :). Everybody was great this episode 🥰🥰, and though there was definitley some drama, everything got sorted out :')).

So yeah! I really enjoyed this episode, I thought it was amazing. I'm super excited for next time! This has been my review of. . .

kaoru hakaze idol story 1

an idol story of kaoru’s! already localized on engstars (but hey, not everyone’s ascending those idol ranks). gimme a follow or a like or uhhh… anything! if you want more of what i do. as usual, i’ve made some minor tweaks/redone translation from the localization for readability. remember that kaochan story i talked about? yeah it’s this one

♪ obligatory disclaimer! none of this is mine, i’m just sharing it for my love of our idol boys. all content belongs to happy elements ♪

in the ES lobby

kaoru: All right~ Let’s work hard today ♪

Good morning~! I’m Kaoru Hakaze from UNDEAD~!

… Wait, what?!

(Oh no! Why’s “she” here at the reception desk at ES?)

(She looks so normal sitting there that I almost said hello!)

(I mean, what’s wrong with a hello? Why did I even hide?)

(She must have heard me. Look, she’s curiously looking around!)

(O-of course. I can’t walk in like that… What should I do? No, you idiot! At this point, there’s no point in panicking!)

(All I need to do is say a quick hello, check in, and proceed to the studio!)

(Ugh… I don’t want to face her.)

(Anzu… Though we work in the same building, I’ve been avoiding her because it’s awkward, so it’s been a while since I’ve last seen her.)

(She’s getting prettier and prettier. Her days must be so youthful and busy…)

(Saying hi would be great for her… But what should I do? My heart is beating so fast…)

(Ugh, come on! Am I some character who blushes at the mere sight of girls?!)

(Still, it’s a weekday today and Anzu is supposed to be at school. Why’s she here in ES this early in the morning?)

(And I don’t see why a producer like her should be sitting at the front desk…)

(Ugh, I’ll be late if I don’t hurry up and get to the studio…)

(I don’t want to ask for trouble, especially because UNDEAD’s in a delicate state now at ES…)

(On the other hand, I want to reunite with Anzu more romantically…)

(I have to ask my friend for help! It’s an emergency!)

(H-hello? Rei? Can you do me a quick favor…?)

in the ES stairwell

(I’m saved! Yep, that’s Rei… I think he did exactly what I asked!)

(Looks like he opened the emergency exit to the building.)

(Rei doesn’t like to help others out, though, so I feel a bit embarrassed…)

(But he’s got no common sense and it’s me who’s always taking care of him, so we’re even now.)

(That’s what helping each other means, right?)

(Anyway, now I can safely avoid the front desk and go to the back door. Phew, that was close.)

(I’ll make an excuse like “I forgot” and check in later after she’s gone.)

(... Eek! The door to the lower level- the door to the emergency staircase opened! Who’s that? Anzu?)

(Err… But why? WHy is she coming up the stairs with a suspicious look? I-I gotta run!)

in the ES hallway

(... Argh, seriously! I’m exhausted.)

(What’s happening? I don’t get it at all. Well at least I can now make it safely to the studio, I suppose.)

(I hope it’s over. Something doesn’t sit right, but what else can I-)

Eek!

Hey, you gave me a start! What… Huh? Anzu?

Wh-what are you doing behind my back? Don’t sneak up on me, okay? I nearly screamed!

(... No, that’s not what I meant. Jeez, come on! Where are all the cool lines I prepared for our reunion?)

(I forgot them all!)

Well, what… Oh, I’m supposed to call you “Producer”, not by your name, right?

Still… We’ve finally gotten close to each other, so don’t you think that’s too formal?

What? You don’t think we’re close? Because it seems like I don’t like you…?

No, no, that’s definitely not the case! I like you a lot, really ♪ Why would you think that?

It’s because I’d hide or run away whenever I see you…?

Oh, so you’ve noticed. How observant, Miss Producer ☆

But that’s not what I meant! There’s no way I could dislike you! I-I have a reason for that!

What reason, you say? Miss Producer, a-are you mad at me? You look scary! Come on and smile, okay? ♪

(Ugh, I can’t tell her the truth!)

(I’m supposed to make a cool and mature impression, and she’d be completely disappointed to know that I was like some lovesick schoolboy!)

Um, but may I keep it a secret? Everyone has one or two personal issues, you know?

It’s more mature not to pry, you see.

Oh, haha, maybe you don’t know because you’re still young.

Huh, “that’s alright”? You want me to at least check in?

Oh, so you went after me because I didn’t check in, right?

But hey, why are you even at the reception desk? Did someone make you?

That won’t do, you know~? You need to properly say no to things you don’t want to do.

What? You say it’s none of my business? True, but I’m worried about you~ So I put you in a bad mood, right, Anzu?

… Oh, you’re leaving already? Because you gave me the key card, and you can’t leave the front desk empty?

Hm, producer courses start in the afternoon, so you came here to ES in the morning…

You took the receptionist to the infirmary because that kid felt under the weather, and you took their place for the time being?

That’s so kind of you. I like that about you a lot ♪

Hey, wait! Don’t leave without a word! Are you really that mad at me?

Sorry, I didn’t mean to be rude… Let me apologize! Please, Anzu~?
