>Hard to Love* ੈ✩‧₊˚

ʚĭɞೃ; Part 3: Assignment

Summary: Y/N is in their Junior year taking sciences, and has been elected as the Class Procter for the current year, as Class Procter she must fullfill certain objectives, but what happens when she runs into someone who claims to know her from her past?

Story Notes: Xiao is Hutaos older brother, OS/N means old school name

Warnings: Contains swearing.

♡> prev here next <♡

'Where is he?, i've been standing here for ages..'

You looked down at your watch as you slightly tapped your foot.

'Half of the break is already over...I'll just go to class...'

Just as you start walking away, making your way to class you hear someone call for you from behind.

Scaramouche.

"Hey! Pipsqueak where are you going?"

You looked back at him with a tired expression.

"Ugh, took you long enough, more than half of the break is already over asshole.." You were a sort of patient person but, couldn't stand it when people were late. Subconsiously, this caused a slihht pout on your face.

Even though you mumbled the last part, his quick ears still catched it.

He was leaning against your locker with his arms crossed and a cunning smile on his face.

"C'mon, 15 minutes isn't that much."

"Maybe to you but, some of us have other things to do...It's okay, lets just go" Your face turned into a softer one, knowing thst being moody wouldn't make time go faster.

"Okay okay, where to?"

You both were walking around the school as you told him about the campus, he didn't seem intrested at all. Break was already over but you were sure that Mr. Zhongli wouldn't mind you being late, after all you had a proper reason ready.

"This is where we-" "Ughhh! this is just boring.." He stopped walking and sat against the wall with his head up and eyes closed. "..." You weren't sure as to what to say or do.

He opened one of his eye to look up at you. "C'mon relax a bit just sit down.." He patted the floor next to him signaling you to come sit down.

"I'm fine.."

"Just sit."

'He's just as stubborn, he really hasnt changed since- whatever..'

You let out a heavy sigh as you sat down. No one spoke until he decided to break the silence. "So..why did you leave OS/N so suddenly?" You didn't know how to answer his question, a part of you wanted to tell him the truth but, you weren't ready to face it.

"What?" 'does he really have to bring this up..' "We used to be good friends but you left all of a sudden" He still had his eyes closed as he spoke but there was a slight look of dissapointment all over his face. "..." You didn't want to say anything so you chose to ignore it.

Finally. The tour was over and you could relax a bit. Luckily your next class was English and all your friends were with you.

“Ah! Y/N what took so long?”

Xingqui was the first one to notice you, “Oh? Ah I had to show Scaramouche around remember? Took longer than I expected” You spoke as you sat down with your friends.

Chongyun put his pen down and looked up at you with a monotone face, “You look tired as shit..”

“Thank you Yun..” You gave him the same expression but added a soft smile at the end.

“Aaa! Y/NNN, how was your daaaate?” Sigh.

“Tao it wasn’t a date..”

“Sure it wasn’t.. I saw the both of you cuddling near the auditorium!”

“We were not! We were just sitting Tao!” Hutao really needs to learn how to control her volume, she always found a way to embarrass you, intentionally and accidentally.

"Haha, sorry sorry! its funny tho!"

Right as you were about to ask why Xiangling was sleeping Mr.Zhongli called you, “Ms.Y/N please come to my desk immediately.”

“Woah! What did you do this time?”

“Hm? Nothing bad that I can remember..I’ll be back one sec!”

As you made your way to his desk, you spotted Scaramouche standing nearby as well, That means that Mr.Zhongli must've just wanted to talk about the tour!

“Ah, It took you both quite long to tour the school, while you both were gone I made pairs for your English assignment"

'Oh, that shouldn't be too hard..'

now that you two are the only ones left I will have to pair the both of you together.”

Oh.

“That is alright with the two of you, yes? But even if it is not, there isn’t any other choice.”

‘Haha, he’s kidding right?’

“You two will have to make an assignment on the poem we have been studying lately in class, do you both understand?”

“Yes, sir”

“Yeah”

“Good, you both may go back to your seats now.”

The two of you headed towards your own groups. Your friends were looking at you with teasing smiles, you can never really catch a break can you?

Hometime felt like forever and you were exhausted.

You and Xiangling were waiting outside for Hutaos brother to come pick her up. Luckily, the weather was nice and cloudy.

"Hm? N/N what happen?"

"Nothing Tao just, just tired after school.."

HONK!

"Ayaya! Well take care of your guys, we'll meet tomorrow ya?" She held your shoulders from behind and patted them as she gave Xiangling a closed eye smile. "Ooh! We will meet tomorrow right Ms. Procter aaand Ms.Director of The Funeral Parlor?" Xiangling gave two a bright smile as she spoke with a giggle.

"Haha, ofcourse!" You spoke with a happier tone and looked up at them with a brighter expression than before. "We'll see later! Bye!!" "Bye Bye! Take care!!"

You gave them a slight smile and a small wave. Your house was nearby so you chose to walk home. Even though the day was over, you still had alot to do. Just the thought of chores made you let out a semi-loud groan and caused you to make a sour face.

Scaramouche POV ᥫ᭡:

Scaramouche could see Y/Ns' friends waving goodbye to her as they headed to different directions, Xiangling went towards her little brothers classroom, Hutao went to her older brothers car and Y/N could be seen walking home.

Scaramouche was lost in his thoughts as he started at Y/N walkimg by, it wasn't intentionally but rather subconsiously. But he quickly snapped out the his daze as he heard someone call for him.

"Yo, bowlhead what are you thinkin' about?" It was Kaeya.

Childe whispered something in Kaeyas' ear with a smirk. As soon as he finished ooo's were let out.

"Ooo! You starin' at her?" Kaeya said with a slight chuckle. "Looks like someones in love, Haha!!"

'Im seriously gonna punch these idiots..'

"I am not in love. Just..wondering." He quickly looked away and crossed his arms. "Sure, wondering about your new love." Kaeya looked at him with his eyebrow raised. "Oh shut up..."

Childe was about to add onto the teasing but he was interupted by a honk.

"Well I gotta go my moms girlfriend is here, see ya."

"Bye! I'll see you tomorrow!"

"OY! Say hi to your new girlfriend from me!"

Both of them laughed while hitting each other. All Scaramouche did was look back with a deadpan face 'What's with them and hitting each other whenever they laugh..' He flipped them off and made his way to the car.

As soon as he got into the car the car Miko quickly spoke. She had a teasing smile on her face.

"So! Is our little Kuni finally growing up?"

"What do you mean?"

"Heard you got a girlfri-"

"Just drive.."

"Haha! you can talk to me if you ever need tips." He looked at her with his eyebrow raised raised then quickly looked back. He was a bit embarassed but he ignored any other feelings and started out the window.

'Maybe the rumors were true..'

When does nocan have a heart of gold

Ok not exactly a heart of gold but he's a well meaning guy (as best as a villain can be anyways)

Lemme try and explain my thought process:(most of these will be from the ep "Nocan the Evil Ingredient Finding Guy" since that's when he emotes the most besides scream and be contrary)

As he's introduced in the ep he mentions how he's surprised that Chuck called home over(he lives across sea God knows how far away but literally crossed the seas for God knows how long cuz Chuck asked him for something). He finds out that he was a last resort and is less bothered about being lied about it than actually being the past pic.

Chuck tells him his plan about entering the sandwich competition and hands him some apron to wear. Nocan agrees but obviously had to make some edits to the apron to look more like a toga

Then the actual events occur. He's all excited and stuff to make the sandwich cuz he'll get to learn to make them!! And he's genuinely enjoying what he's doing!! And he even winks at the competition for some reason!

Look at him he's enjoying himself :D

But yeah he genuinely does want to help and when Chuck finally fires him cuz he keeps doing the opposite of what he tells him to do(Chuck his name is Nocan the Contrarian idk what you expected) he gets sad about it!! Cuz his friend Chuck got mad at him because he was messing up! He even gets mopey about it for a bit.

Like him being a villain aside (and he really isn't much of a villain in thst regard, he's just wreckless chz he's a barbarian. I can only guess that his behavior is more common back home and less "villanous" than in Fair City) he does have his moments. He genuinely does mean well and values the thoughts and feelings of his friends :O that might just be how I'm seeing it tho I rotate this man in my brain 24/7

#wordgirl #nocan the contrarian #ramblings #i care for him #no cuz he can be so oddly endearing in this essay i will-

Heyo apart from me starkly disagreeing with ur beefleaf hate post, I'm honestly mostly bothered by u tagging it with beefleaf/not censoring the name.

It appeared in the main tag while I was scrolling it, because i rlly love bflf, and I'd appreciate it if u could keep hate out of the tag!!! Its made for ship content, nto hate on the ship.

Again this isn't even because i disagree (ig it's up to interpretation though, but i I want to say that just because someone was once in love with a girl doesn't mean they're straight, bisexuality exists, pls dont erase thar!!!!) its rlly jsut cuz I don't want to see negativity on my otp when I'm looking for content of them :(

I hope u can see why that'd upset me a little, no need to respond or anyrhign, just for the future!!! Cuz ik that not only I get upset at seeing negativity about my otp while scrolling the tag...

(Also if u dislike sth so much, why not use thst energy to focus on sth u like instead? I feel like that might make u happier than hate posting--)

Okay, first, thank you for your input.

I will add more tags so that it will make clear that my post is not about positive content about beefleaf.

Then I'll also add more warning in the beginning of my post, so that readers can expect what they are about to read and shippers who don't want to see any negativity about beefleaf may simply skip it.

But I won't remove the #beefleaf tag, because the point of my post is clearly about beefleaf. Just next time, make sure to read it carefully to the entire tags before proceeding and regretting what you are about to read! (while I'll try to be more careful with my 'warning system').

I won't bother to remove my post (nor stop writing more), because I can do anything with my blog which so far contains my personal opinions on both positive and negative thoughts in a balanced way.

I'm not a hater with no life who carelessly enter people's fan-clubs just to bash their favorite things right to their face.

But the tagging system in tumblr is not exclusive, rather it serves to indicate 'what is your post related to?'

So how can I just remove the tag when it is the main topic of my post?

You have the ability to just ignore it & scroll down, people can write what they want and you can read what you want.

So, I’d rather have you block me than remove my (main topic) tag just to ease your mind.

And about the canon things that I said, it seems you also didn't read my post to the end (maybe you got emotional first hmm), my canon breakdown serves as a starting base for understanding beefleaf, but if you get to the section "How can ‘beefleaf’ work better?" in my post, that's also the part where I started ignoring canon, that even though He Xuan had been straight in flashbacks, it is still possible that he's starting regret some of his action & care for Shi Qingxuan.

My canon breakdown for that post is like; "oh so the truth is that, but we can bend it like this".

Lastly, hate posting & rant posting may sounds similar but not the same. You need to read the content to fully understand, but 'hate posting' doesn't contain any positivity to back up the negativity whereas 'rant' is more personal about what you have in mind, yet not necessarily being all negative.

Though I don’t think you want to read my entire post as it triggers you so much.

But in some case, rant my overlaps with hate when the poster only has negativity in mind.

Also when I said “many beefleaf shippers”, it’s not necessarily about you. But if you got triggered by it, then it’s on you.

Also, if I hate beefleaf so much I wouldn’t have bothered making this edit.

#AMA #beefleaf #tw negative #cw criticism #he xuan #when i said that i don't gatekeep what you can ship but you gatekeep what i shall tag #for other beefleaf shippers will you get triggered with this ama too?#because this ama has 0 thing about beefleaf unless you check my previous post #the post that the anon objected about #tldr just block me if you hate my post #sumpah tgcf fandom banyak bocilnya anjir

Pyre/Greedling Meta:

I remember in the earlier volumes that a fair amount of people in the FNDM would compare Cinder to Lust from Fullmetal Alchemist, due to her femme fatale persona and voice seeming like an impression of Laura Bailey's Lust.

But as we learn more about Cinder and meet Salem in vol4, it's very clear that the version of herself she likes to present herself as is meant to come across as an impression, an imitation. Because she's trying to imitate Salem, the person who defines what power is to her.

And as that facade crumbles and we slowly start to see how deep Cinder's desires really run, it's far more clear to me that her character and story have much more in common with Greed, not Lust.

:read more:

Greed is the only homunculi who is willing to follow his deepest desires to the fullest, regardless of where that placed him. He was certainly willing to do evil, but wouldn't if that evil didn't personally benefit him. And, over time within the series, Greed comes to realise that his obsession with power, glory and seeking to become God, were nothing more than vain attempts to cover up his true emotional emptiness caused by a lack of connecting to others. And once he finds a cause and people to support who help and support him in turn, his character arc finishes with him, Greed, looking on all that he has, his friends, and is grateful. Content.

Which ties into the lesson of the Fall Maiden in the Tale of the Four Maidens in which Fall begs the Hermit to look around at all he has and be thankful. To be satisfied and content with oneself, which is a lesson Cinder has to learn in order to truly become a Fall Maiden.

Greed's desires are similar to Cinder's own ambition for power driven by her fear and insecurities, seeking to become a "godlike maiden badass" wanting to fill the emptiness and craving she feels, not yet realizing that this will not be what brings her true satisfaction to her, well, greed.

"Greed may not be good, but it's not so bad either. You humans think greed is just for money and power! But everyone wants something they don't have"

"You Atlas elites are all the same! You think hoarding power means you'll have it forever. But it just makes the rest of us hungrier! And I refuse to starve"."

I think it's very important to point out that Greed doesn't become good or redeem himself because he sees the error of his ways and wants to atone for the things he's done, rather he starts on the path to redemption by refusing to be a pawn to Father any longer, when realizing the power and glory he craves he wouldn't be able to obtain by staying and working underneath Father like the rest. His greed and dissatisfaction are what motivates him, though it is ultimately Ling who gives him the final push and convinces him to side with the protagonists.

And Cinder at the end of vol7 seems to be heading towards a crossroads of whether or not she'll stay with Salem, given how the Grimm arm that was "gifted" to her by Salem seems to be slowly consuming her body, she might have doubts about whether the kind of power Salem has promised her is really the kind of power she wants, and whether she's prepared to sacrifice herself to obtain it, or whether she could choose to strike out on her own. Again, some villains start on the path to redemption solely out of self interest.

It's also not just Greed's story I think Cinder's is remarkably similar to, but the stories of Ling and Pyrrha and the role they play in Greed and Cinder's stories, as their souls and stories are intrinsically intertwined.

The ouroboros tattoo and its meaning was the first thing that caught my attention, as it the ouroboros symbol represents eternal cyclical renewal. Of life, death and rebirth. And how that aligns with Pyrrha's incantation used to unlock Jaune's aura:

"For it is in passing we achieve immortality. Through this we become a paragon of virtue and glory to rise above all. Infinite in distance and unbound by death, I release your soul, and by my shoulder, protect thee"

Cinder also has a tattoo of her own symbol that appears after connecting to Amber's soul and taking half of her power, just like the ouroboros tattoo appearing after Greed and Ling's souls were intertwined and he had taken over his body. Cinder takes the other half of the maiden powers after Pyrrha had been bound to them as her and Amber's aura were intertwined, making it likely that Pyrrha is a part of Cinder in the same way Greed and Ling are.

Both Pyrrha and Ling are considered to be people in positions of power and prestige with great expectations placed on them that they intend to live up to. Ling as an Xingese prince, Pyrrha as a world renowned champion fighter and promising huntresses, the "invincible girl". Both agree to becoming a maiden/homuculus respectively, despite the inhumane means of doing so and risk to their body, soul and life, as they believe obtaining this power will help their people.

"We can't transfer Amber's power to you but we can give you what those powers are bound to."

"Her aura"

"Her life... would become intertwined with yours. The question is-"

"What's that gonna do to you?" - (RWBY Volume 3 Chapter 6)

Greed and Cinder's stories are body horror stories about what you'll sacrifice for power, and the power they are "gifted" by their masters, Father and Salem, is concentrated in their left arm.

Interestingly, Greed's power that transforms him into an inhuman monster is his "Ultimate Shield" that makes him invulnerable, which is the exact opposite of the "power" that Salem grants Cinder that slowly crawls up her left arm threatening to turn her into a monster makes her more vulnerable than most, because she doesn't have aura to protect those parts of her.

Both Greed and Cinder are the most defiant of their masters wishes, and often Father and Salem experience losses and failures because they underestimated Greed and Cinder's ambition. What should have been an easy win at Haven for Salem failed because Cinder was overly ambitious in her need to to win, to feel powerful, and Greed's betrayal of Father is simply because his own ambition is greater than his, thus he would never be content to work underneath him, to be less than him.

Both are charismatic individuals and good at convincing others to work with them. They like to surround themselves with others and both are the only ones under Father/Salem to have their own subordinates (Wrath doesn't count since it was always Father's intention to have him become Fuhrer). Despite them clearly needing human connection, their relationship with their loyal subordinates we are introduced to alongside them is... Not Super Great. They might care about them to a certain degree, but at the end of the day they ultimately view them as useful tools and possessions.

Both of them speak of an emptiness they feel inside of them:

"All of these souls inside of me, and yet I still feel so... empty"

"It's... an emptiness. It burns. Like a hunger."

It's ultimately Ling thst acts as Greed's consciousness, as when he doesn't show any remorse over killing Bido, the last of the old Greed's followers, on the orders of Father, Ling is the one who drags out all of his repressed emotion, being able to feel his pain and see his memories, he forces Greed to face them and how terribly he treated his "friends", and to reevaluate his priorities and self, pushing him away from Father.

"It's nothing personal. I'm just doing my job. I am sorry, honestly!"

"What have you done, Greed? Are you determined to prove you're a monster? What kind of sick creature... would kill his own friend!?"

"He wasn't my... friend..."

"Then why do you remember him? And are you gonna try and tell me Bido was just making everything up?"

"Those were the last Greed's memories! They're not mine!"

"THEN WHY ARE YOU IN SO MUCH PAIN!?

Pull yourself together, Greed. I'm warning you. I'll take this body back if you drop your guard"

"They aren't mine... Father purified me and purged the old Greed's memories. Those memories aren't a part of me any more!"

"No! You're wrong Greed! It's not that easy! They'll always be a part of you! You can't just erase them from your soul! They were the only part of you that you chose!"

"Look at them! Can you not hear their souls crying out? You abandoned them. Your real family! You threw them away like trash!"

"Fool. If you turned your back on something you wanted, YOU DON'T DESERVE TO CALL YOURSELF GREED!" (Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood episode 44, Greed and Ling)

If Pyrrha were to return, it's likely she would manifest and communicate more directly with Cinder than maiden predecessors usually do (though in all fairness we don't know the details of if maiden predecessors do or not), being more similar to Ozpin and Oscar's situation, rather than just being a part of her soul, because of how unnatural her interference with the fall maiden's power transfer was. The way Ozpin looks and speaks about it makes it clear he knows there is a very good chance he was recreating his own curse the GoL bestowed on him, and that this isn't like when he was the Hermit, giving his magic happily to the Maidens.

There's also the parallels between Ozma and Pyrrha's situations too, and how readily they accept their mission and fate, and in how they die, and I believe we still haven't seen the full payoff to those parallels with Pyrrha.

When Ozma reincarnates the first time, it's implied that he completely overtakes Ozma 2.0/ Oisín/Diggs (why do we have so many names for him), having not yet learned how to live with the souls with which he had been paired. It's not until much, much later when Oz is beginning to have doubts about whether he should stay with Salem , but still continues to go along with her plans that Oisín makes himself known, (and we know Ozma isn't used to him communicating with him with how suprised and shaken he is by this, which is strange considering he's been paired with him for a long while, unless Oisín hadn't made himself known before this) and is the one who finally pushes Ozma to leave Salem.

"What are we doing?"

With Cinder returning to Salem's side, full of doubt of whether she can go through with Salem's plan for her, to hurt and destroy herself for this power, and Emerald and Mecury (probably Neo too) likely betraying and cutting ties with Cinder too, which is going to leave her full of even more doubt, hurt, anger and additional feelings of betrayal and confusion. And more than anything, alone. Which would be the ideal time for Pyrrha to say to Cinder like with Ozma, "What are we doing?" To push her to reevaluate her priorities and self.

Imagine Pyrrha finally being able to manifest or communicate with Cinder, realizing she's bound to the woman who killed her. Knowing her emotions and memories in their entirety, feeling her pain and anger as if it were her own. And Ruby describing her as "Pyrrha thought that if there was even the smallest chance of helping someone that it was a chance worth taking" the Pyrrha who told Jaune "Everyone needs a little help sometimes" understanding what Cinder went through, and that if she couldn't save the world or make it better by attempting to kill Cinder, then, maybe as she is now, the one thing she can do to help save the world, to make it a better place, is by helping Cinder be better, helping her use her talents for good, like a true maiden should? (On a more fun note, imagining Pyrrha deciding to help Cinder but not missing any opportunity to be a playfully snarky little shit towards her. Because what is Cinder gonna do? Kill her again? Like tell me Pyrrha would not Do Both. And Cinder's not sure which she hates more: Pyrrha teasing her or feeling sorry for her)

Another interesting thing is how in The World of RWBY: The Official Companion states that Salem's goal is to possess all four relics, and to absorb the power of all the Maidens, which she means to at some point, absorb Cinder's power. It's likely part of why she favours Cinder and has such an intimate relationship with her (the Relic of Choice might have played a role in why Salem chose Cinder specifically) That transition of maiden powers from Cinder to Salem would be made much more seamless for Salem if she was grooming Cinder to be more like her, and was slowly becoming more Grimm, if she was treating Cinder like an extension of herself, because to Salem, she would be. Which is again, similar to Father and Greed, as Greed literally was an extension of Father created from him, and absorbed back into him when he became too disobedient and remade and reborn again.

The finale of Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood has Father absorbing Greed's philosopher's stone in an attempt to claim his power, but Greed ends up sacrificing himself by inverting his Ultimate Shield inside of Father, making his whole body incredibly fragile and vulnerable so Ed is able to defeat him. In the end, Greed ends up being the key to their victory against Father.

I want to make it clear that I don't personally think RWBY will end with Cinder dying or "defeating" Salem. At least, not in the traditional sense. I can draw as many comparisons as I like between Greed and Cinder but at the end of the day they're two different stories with different themes. And I don't believe that kind of ending would align with RWBY's. One of the themes of Cinder's story is to find a way to keep living no matter what. And as for Salem, the only way she can "die" is to learn the value of life and death, which would require a much more different approach.

But either way, I do believe Cinder will end up being their key to victory one way or another, similar to Greed.

“The B in LGBT stand for Bisexual not Butter” (Daichi x reader)

Warning is very long

Daichi x reader

Third person POV

This was a usual lunch for Daichi and (Y/N) they have been best friends sinces they started High School, along with Kyoko, Sugawara and Asashi. Daichi started to have feeling for her sinces their second year, he started to know her better that year. He was going to confess to her this year now that it was their last, but she started dating a second year during the summer. He was the first to know and that hurt him but he was happy for him.

Now they were here in their homeroom having lunch. Daichi was eating from his bento while (Y/N) was eating some yakisoba bread. This is what they recently have been doing, not that Daichi was complaining.

“What are you going to do after school?” (Y/N) said has she took a bite of her bread.

“Well, we have mid-terms coming up. So, i need to study to have a good grade to be able to play.” Said Daichi has he shoved some rice in his mouth. When he looked up he could notice that she was scared.

“Crap, I forgot about the mid-terms.” She cursed has she opened her bag to take out her calendar.

“That is what you get for paying attention to makoto and not the class.” He mentioned her girlfriends name and she got tensed.She noticed that the air got a bit tences, she decided to tell him the truth.

“We aren’t talking recently. She has been really mad at me because i haven’t been paying attention to her. I think she wants to break up with me, she has been meaning to talk to me but i just been ignoring her call.” (Y/N) confessed to him, She put her food down and wrapped up again.

“Well the question is, Do yoy still want to be with her?” Daichi asked her. She kept quiet, she didn’t know what to answered, she did want to breack up but at the same time she didn’t. It was her last year she will still see her. But she knew what ever came out of her mouth wast her answer. She was about to answer him but the bell rang signaling that class was about to start.

“See ya at practice.” she stood up and went to her class that was with Kyoko with his question still in (Y/N)’s mind. After class she decide of her answer, she turned back to see kyoko and started to talk to her.

“Kyoko, i know that i was suppose over some of the notes to have written down recently but i need to do something and i don’t know how long it will take. Can we go over it tomorrow?” (Y/N) asked her has she put her hand together bowing. Kyoko looked at her and started to talk.

“(Y/N) we’re in the same grade you don’t need to bow at me.”

“Yes I do you are a goddess.” She said.

“It’s fine. we will go over it tomorrow.” Kyoko reassured.

“Oh, thank you Kyoko.” (Y/N) said has she hugged her, then grabbed her bag and went to the first flor to change her shoes. She started to jog down the hill she was going a particular way to meet someone, Because she knows that what she is about to do needs to be done in person. She deserved that at least.

While she was heading to the house, the boys just started their laps. Daichi was quiet and Sugawara took noticed.

“Oi, Daichi. Why are you so quiet?”

“Just thinking of something.”

“Daichi, Suga. Where is (Y/N) i want her to give me some pointer for Kyoko.” Said Tanaka with Nishinoya trailing after him.

“Yeah, the last pointer was working and we need more.” Nishinoya said between breaths.

“Well, she is suppose to be with Kyoko.” Daichi looked to the other side of the gym and Kyoko was with the first. He didn’t know where (Y/N) was she doesn’t skip.

“Kyoko, sorry to bother you but where is (Y/N)?” He asked still keeping step.

“She said she needed to take care of something.” she yelled back

“Okay, thanks.”

“Wow, and here I though that lover boy would know.” Tanaka said has he ran quicker so that Daichi wouldn’t catch him

“OI.” Daichi yelled.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Three month pass, cause time is an ilusion~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Damn it, they did an aticle of that butt weasel, Oikawa.” Tnaka said with anger in his voice.”

“I’m no suprice his super talented. Well, what does it say.” Asked Sugawara looking over Tnakas shoulder.

“Well, Tooru Oikawa favorite food is milk bread and his personal motto is ‘If your gonna hit it, Then hit til it breaks’. UHG.” Tanaka yelled.

“Well, he can hit me till i’ll break.” They were all shocked. They never expected those words to come out of her mouth. Even Tsukishima was shocked at what came out of her mouth. That could not have been real.

“Well, keep reading.”

“Right. Looks like the third years are staying on the team so the can get revenge on shiratorisawa. IT’S GOING TO TAKE A LOT MORE TO BEAT ME.

“AND ME” both Tanaka and Hinata yelled and then Suga hit Tanaka so that he wouldn’t break the magazine. Then Sugawara started to to talk about Ushiwaka and that he made the world youth team. When Daichi heard that he said.

“We have to talk down Oikawa and Ushiwaka.”

“Oi, Daichi you have no reason being that sexy.” Said (Y/N) again the boys didn’t know what to think. They were determine to beat the both. But they were completely confused at all the stuff that (Y/N) has been saying. They continue on ignoring what she just said, well except for Daichi, he kept that in mind.

“ALL RIGHT LET’S GET TO WORK.”

“YEAH” the guys yelled back at Daichi. While they started their training at heartbreak heel, (Y/N) stayed behind with Daichi watching all the boy go up. When they were alone she started to talked to him.

“Daichi, how do you get such great thighs. God, they look great?” She praised her friend has she looked at his thighs. Daichi was blushing slightly, he didn’t know how to react. On one side she has a girlfriend on the other he was kinda loving it. They started to walk and he decided to talk.

“Well, you should know this by now. You have to stay alert in a game so i do a lot leg work outs.” He said has he kept jogging, he knew that if he ran she might no be able to hear or keep up with him.

“Wow, leg days does work.”

when she said that they arrived at the summit, Daichi started to talk. they all went back down and Suga got close to Daichi and started to whisper something to him.

“Daichi, do you know if there is something up with (Y/N)?”

“I really don’t know. She’s just been hitting on me and I don’t hate it but i feel weird about it.”

“Same here, doesn’t she have a girlfriend.”

“Yeah.” they looked back and they could see her talking to Asashi. For the pass month she has been started to develop feeling for the Karasuno Captain, even though they are friends, she started to look at him in a different light. It was weird for her but good in a way. So, she did what was natural complement the ell out of him. When they got back to the gym, they were divided in to teams to start their own practice match even though Hinata and Kageyama weren’t there. (Y/N) on the other hand was talking to Kyoko about trying to get a first year has a manager but she was also trying to keep and eye on Daichi.

“The whole team started to notice that she was keeping an eye on him, even sometimes when he was squating they could see her trying to move so that she could see Daichs ass. This was getting weird at this point, they all though the same. Those this count as cheating?

And Tsukishima was the only one with the ball to say it.

“OI, (Y/N)”

“Yeah, Tsukki?”

“Can you stop looking at the caps ass?” Then has if the whole team was connected. ‘He said it!’

“But why he has such a great ass.” They were all a blushing mess, Even Tanaka and Nishinoya. This can not be happening, Daichi counldn’t take it anymore. He turn to her and said.

“Stop saying stuff like that! You have a girlfriend.”

“No, i don’t.”

“What?” The guys said

“Me and Mako broke up.” She confessed. But now that had an even bigger question.

“But don’t you go for the other team?” Nishinoya asked

“ You are allowed to say the word lesbian, Yu.” She told Nishinoya has she put her clip board down and stood up. At this point the boys had stoped playing, they were all looking at her.

“And no. I go for both. It’s called LGBTQ+ the B is there for Bisexual not Butter you idiots.” They were shocked they shouldn’t have been shocked but they still were.

“I though Kyoko told you guys that?” They all looked at Kyoko even more shocked. She knew and she didn’t tell anyone.

“Kyoko, why didn’t you tell them.”

“I though you wanted to keep it a secret.” This was crazy.

“Nice.” was the first thing thst same out of Daichi’s mouth. He got clouser to her, she looked up at him. He was tall but not by much and then he started to talk again. “This means that i can ask you out on a date?”

Now the one that was shocked was her. She was not expecting this at all, not even from him. She got exited.

“Yes.”(Y/N) said with a smile on her face.

“Then would you like to go on a date?” Daichi asked has he wrapped his hands around her waist and pulled her in towards himself.

“Yes” She closed the gap with a kiss. When she pulled away she told him.

“Also have i told you that i love you hand? I wonder what else can they do.” When she finished her sentence Daichi had a blush all over his face.

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

Copy, Paste, & Scream (ft. Clyde Logan)

Here’s #29! I hope you enjoy it, anon! 66 is coming soon! Read 13 and 149 | Prompts Link 29. “Not to make things weird, but I thought about you when I came last night.” Characters: Clyde Logan x (Female) Reader Content: Actually not as explicit?; S*x content creation; accidental text message situation; some serious HR violations; jealous Clyde Logan; oral s*x

Ding!...Ding!

You contemplated putting your phone on Silent Mode. It was a nice, peaceful Sunday afternoon, and all you wanted to do was eat popcorn and binge The Umbrella Academy, but your phone kept dinging. You picked it up to check the notifications:

Clyde: Who were those beard shampoo people you were telling me about? KachingApp: Jonah sent you $200. You sat straight up and went to your KachingApp. Sure enough, $200 was there and from someone named Jonah. Who was Jonah? He included a little note in his deposit: “300 more to watch you cum”. Definitely a FreakPub viewer. You jumped from your sofa and dashed to your bathroom—fuck The Umbrella Academy and fuck your popcorn, too! You gave Jonah a good show. He saw everything—feet, butthole, tits, ass—everything. And Jonah didn’t have a face—so you had to create one for yourself. Not even “create”. You knew who you wanted to pretend-fuck for the night. You had a feeling that Clyde was sweet on you but was being shy (and professional) about it. You always caught him looking at you, or sometimes, he’d call you over to do some arbitrary thing when a customer was getting a little too giggly with you. But you never pushed it. You thought Drew Sellers was sweet on you back in 10th grade, but he avoided you for two more years when you asked for his number. You thought Victor, your Biology 101 study partner was into you, until you realized he was just super nice to everybody (and married). But never mind that for now. In this moment, Clyde Logan, your boss, liked you--and this was his dick you were riding. Once you got your release, you uploaded the video to Dropcrate, and cleaned yourself up as it loaded. After you pulled your pajama shorts up over your butt, you found the small beard care company you’d told Clyde about, and copied the website link. You were certain you did. Right when you switched back over to Clyde’s text, you got another notification. Dropcrate: Upload complete. Visions of paying an additional $500 on your student loan for the month flashed in your head, and you clicked the Dropcrate notification, copied the link to your new video, and thumbed your way to FreakPub. Sure enough, you had a message from a “JB79” that read “Name’s Jonah. Love your work. Tipping you $200. Would love it if you made a video just for me…” Just as you were about to reply, another text from Clyde popped up. Clyde: Do they make oil? “Fucking hell, Clyde,” you mumbled. You: I believe so. Here’s the link dropcrate.com/bitchyourefired

You hastily clicked back to FreakPub and replied to JB79. “What a sweetheart! A little something just for you. Hope you like red panties 😉 dropcrate.com/bitchdoyouseewhatyoujustdid” and you hit send. On your way back to your living room, you quietly hoped that Jonah wouldn’t skip out on that extra $300. You flopped down on your sofa, hit play on your remote, and gasped. You yanked up your phone and thumbed to your text conversation with Clyde. You: I believe so. Here’s the link dropcrate.com/startapplyingforanewjob Read at 6:45pm

“Oh my God…” you mumbled. You grabbed your pounding heart and just wanted to rip it right out of your chest. “Oh…my…God…” you repeated. Quickly, you ran your fingers over the keys. You: DON’T OPEN THST! When you didn’t get an immediate response, you expected a phone call. Nothing came. You turned off Netflix, dragged yourself to your bedroom and threw yourself face down on the bed. Then, you screamed into your pillow. Duck Tape was such a good gig. The patrons were like family—so the tips were great. And in addition to the cute little glances, Clyde was also always sharing his food with you. Now, it was all over. Ding! You took a breath, lifted your phone, and peeked at it with one eye. You didn’t even have to unlock it to see the response. You opened the other eye and read the text. Clyde: Too late. --------------------------

Your legs were jelly as you walked up the bar’s steps. Patrons tipped their hats to you, and one of them—Riley, a regular, opened the door for you. “Thank you, Riley.” “Yes, ma’am.” You stepped inside of the full—but not crowded—bar. It was 5:45 on a Monday, so it wasn’t jumping quite yet. Most folks were still stuck on the highway or getting dinner started around that time. Junie, the day shift bartender looked up at you and waved. Just as you waved back, one of the patrons turned around to glance at you—boss and nighttime bartender, Clyde.

Your heart dropped and you kept walking straight to his office, where you kept your apron and pad. He was probably telling Junie about how he was going to kick you and all your holes out of his bar. In the office, just when you’d tightened the apron around your waist, Clyde stepped in and closed the door behind him. You just let it on out. “Clyde, I’m sorry about last night. I didn’t mean to send that to you.” “It’s alright,” he said. He leaned against the door and stared down at you. You patted your pockets, in search of your pad and your spine. “Do you do that for money?” he asked. Your head shot up. “Yeah…” “I wish you’d have told me you needed the help.” “No, it’s not like that. I just…I do it for money, but…I kinda enjoy it, too.” “Oh,” he said with disappointment in his voice. You frowned. “Look, Clyde. I appreciate your concern. But, if you’re expecting me to feel ashamed—” “No, no. That’s not it…” he mumbled. “I just…” You watched his puppy dog eyes lower, then rise again. His body rocked from side to side. “I’m just gon’ go on and say it. It don’t sit right with me, knowin’ somebody else is lookin’ at you like that.” “Somebody else?” He looked down again. “Somebody that ain’t me.” You smiled. “Clyde, I didn’t know you felt that way.” “Well. I do.” You ran your fingers along his jawline, then planted a soft peck on his cheek. He stared into your eyes, then initiated a harder kiss. Seconds later, you slowly pulled away from him. “Not to make things weird,” you started. “But I thought about you when I came last night…” Clyde blushed. “You did?” “Mm-hmm.” You nibbled at his jawline and heard him draw a deep breath through his nose. “You alright?” “Yeaaahhh…” he said in strained, high-pitched voice. “It’s just now, I’m thinkin’ about gettin’ you on that desk.” “Clyde!” you said with a dropped jaw. This time, you were blushing. He ran his fingers up and down your waist. “Lemme add somethin’ to your thoughts for the next time you get ta ridin’ that toy…” Your eyes lowered and your nipples hardened, and Clyde maneuvered his hand behind him and locked the door. You looked down at your watch. 5:50PM. “But—” “We have time.” He started walking toward you until you bumped into his desk. Before you knew it, your pants were around your ankles, and Clyde’s face was between your legs: tongue to clit, and three of his fingers massaging your G-spot. You'd stuffed tissue in your mouth to muffle your moans. Then, an orgasm surged throughout your entire body, and when you looked down, your eyes met Clyde’s--and he was licking you off his fingers.

Clyde stood up and helped you off his desk. As he walked to the door, you pulled up your pants, fastened them, and retied your apron string. Then, Clyde unlocked the door. Before he opened it, he craned his neck to look at you. “We’ll finish this ta night.”

The Freedom of Expression Ep 6 - 'Antrum', the most cursed movie in history.

K: Hi this is Dir en grey's Kaoru, and The Freedom of Expression..Joe san, Tasai san..

J: Yep

K: I think the viewers already realise this, but we're shooting four epidodes at once. (note:* the covid episodes were aired at short notice after ep 3*).

J: Yes, four.

T: Our clothes havn't changed.

K: Is our positioning ok like this? Wouldn't it be better with you in the middle, Kaoru?

K: Well, next time we could change seats if we want? But, I havn't seen you two in a long time, I thought it would be better to look at you from over here.

J: Ah, yes. If you are in the middle you have to keep looking from side to side..

K: Yeah, so..we could change seats next time...We might even change our filming location?

J: For sure

K: I don't know though...we can carry on without making too many set plans.

J: I see.

K: He's not coming out today, is he?

J: He's not. Let's leave him alone.

K: Well, shall we get started?... Oh, actually, when we finished recording the last epidode, my boss came here, and said 'that was a lie, thats wrong'.

J: Oh, what was it again? He took offense to something written in a magazine.

T:...and stormed over there.

K: He didn't actually angrily storm over there, he apparently went there, not to tell them to write nice stuff, but to get them to write what his band was really like, and he was fine with it then *1

J: Ahh, to stand out?

K: He was quite agitated. *T laughs*

J: No, but its a bit worrying isn't it? From the listeners point of view, you hear that type of story and interpret it as something amusing, the story gets communicated on in that way.

K: Well, theres no fire without smoke..

J: You mean, theres no smoke without fire.

K: Yeh.. Its because he's just a bit scary *the others laugh*, thats why that type of gossip appears.

J: Of course

K: Right?

T: I see

J: Well, we don't know what he was really like back then...

K: I don't either.

J: But he surely wasn't one of those cuddly, happy people?

K: People in bands were just kinda scary back then, right?

J: They were scary, yeah. But they were also really cool, weren't they?

K: *nods*

J: ..in reality....I think they were.

K: We're (Dir en grey) not scary though, are we?

J, T: Uhh... *K laughs*

J: You are not scary, but...

K: We're not THAT scary right? *laughing*

J: You have an incredible aura..

K: Well, lets leave it..

J: Fow now, lets just say your boss wasn't trying to make excuses..

K: Excuses? *laughs*

J: ..he was just trying to tell us that the stuff we said was not true. Right, well lets introduce today's topic.

' "You watch it, you die", Antrum - The most cursed movie in history.'

'Unbelievablely, its to be released in Japan, this incredible movie is to be screened. Filmed in California, America in 1970, the movie 'Antrum'. Rumored to be excessively scary, and to bring about misfortune to those who watch it, it was said that this movie should not be released, but buried and restricted. However, in 1988, it was screened for the first time in Budapest, Hungary, and during its screening, a fire broke out in the theatre and it burnt to the ground. 56 people died in this incident. Since then, whenever this movie is screened, the people involved have suffered mysterious deaths, one after the other. It became a work of art that no-one wanted to touch. Then, we arrive at the present day. After a long search, documentary movie makers Michael Licini and David Amito discovered the 35mm film reel of 'Antrum'. They have decided to screen it with the warning that viewers must take personal responsibility for anything that happens. The movie will be screened this year in venues across the country from Friday.'

K: Ahh, is it okay?...if this kind of incident occurs?

J: It says, if you watch it you die!

T: Its spooky.

K: Whether it lives up to expectations or not, theres trouble either way.

J,T: Thats right.

J: If people die, they're in trouble, and if people don't die, and they get sued for misrepresentation, they'll be like 'What? Arn't you glad you didn't die?!'

T: I wonder what will happen.

J: They say everyone has to take personal responsibility.

K: Well, I'm slightly interested.

J: Would you go and watch it?

K: Hmm, I want to see it, yeh.

J: You're attracted to it?

K: Um, Horror is...

Kami: Nononono! You must not go to see this, you must not go to see this!

J: Ahh, Kami says you musn't, he's worried suddenly....Its not okay, Kami?

Kami: No no, its not. I was quiet so far because I didn't want to have anything to do with this topic.

J: Oh, with this topic?

Kami: Yeh, its really scary.

J: Is this type of thing not good?

Kami: Its not good. I have to work nights..

J: Ah, night shifts? *the others laugh*

Kami: and I work alone.

J: Yeh.

K: Well, yeh, thats scary.

Kami: They say you'll die, I don't wanna die on my night shift.

J: Yeh, but gods can't die can they?

T: Right.

Kami: Well, outwardly.

J: What does that mean? Outwardly?? *laughing*

Kami: We don't die completely..

J: Oh, but from the human perspective you appear to die?

Kami: Yeah, I appear to die, but then am reborn. *J, T laugh*

K: He doesn't need to be scared.

T: Pretty interesting.

Kami: No no, the bit where I appear to be dead..its kinda troublsome.

J: Its trouble? You're a bit nervous about that?

Kami: Yeh, im nervous. Its not good.

J: Its not good?

Kami: Yeah, going to see this movie is not good.

J: But, there is a certain attraction by people to these kind of supernatural, occult things isn't there?

K, T: Yeah, yeah.

J: You know, things that science can't prove.

Kami: Yeah, I know about all of it though.

J: You do?

Kami: Yes, I do. Because, god created everything on earth.

T: Well, yeah.

J: I see.

T: So, he shouldn't really be scared of this, should he?

K: Really, that makes this situation here part of the occult too, doesn't it?

J: This is the occult. *T laughs* Us talking to a god..*K laughing* Talking to a god about movies even!

Kami: Well, there are many types of god aren't there?

J: Ahh, there are many types, yeh.

Kami: Yeh yeh, there are all knowing-all powerful gods...and gods like this one here. *the others laugh*

J: This god isn't very 'all knowing-all powerful'?

Kami: No, im probably in the lower orders.

J: *laughing* Yeh, we know that!

T: He sounds like a salaryman.

J: A hierarchy of gods..

Kami: Well, the middle-lower orders.

J: The middle-lower oders? *laughing*

T: Thats quite low, right? *J laughing*

J: It might just not be limited to recent times, but isn't there quite an occult boom going on now? How do you see it Kaoru?

Kami: An occult boom?

J: An occult boom.

Kami: Well, maybe its because a lot of things have already been solved. As science progresses, we know more...like the Higgs particle, you know it?

J: I've heard the name, but I don't know the details.

Kami: Its kinda like how the source of gravity was discovered. They spin it round really fast and crash it, right?

J: What a simple explanation!

Kami: Its in Switzerland!

T: In Switzerland...

J: They have the equipment to spin it and crash it powerfully, right?

Kami: Yes, yes. Atoms, they crash atoms into one another..and when they crash, the atoms break apart, and various particles have been discovered....and they saw a black hole forming and such. These kinds of mysterious things are really happening. *2.

T: Ehh, Kami, thats impressive.

Kami: So it could be just because of these solved mysteries, peoples' imaginations are swelling and giving them wild ideas?

J: I see.

K: Well, there must be people who like this stuff.

Kami: Wasn't my explanation easy to understand?

J: Yes, it was very well explained.

Kami: Spinning it around and bashing really hard, and then a kind of mysterious feeling...

*everyone laughs*

J: Thst is super easy to understand. Explained in simple terms.

T: Exactly

J: Only by a god..*3

T: Hey Joe, is that okay? *laughs*

J: Kami's awful aspects have transfered to me. *T laughs* The hopless parts. Those parts are showing in me.

Kami: Don't say hopeless!

K *laughs*

J: Oh did you hear that bit?

Kami: I heard it.

J: Of course, Kami hears everything (direct translation: hell ears)

K: This is awful!

Kami: Not hell, heaven.

T: Isn't this fourth time getting tiring?

*laughing*

J: Of course not

T: Actually, ive been to an event before where a spirit appeared.

J: Ehh?

T: When I say spirit, I mean Lincoln. There was a movie about the American president, Lincoln. So I went as a reporter to a weird movie event about it. And there was a medium there who could channel Lincoln so we could ask anything.

J: Wow...so, Lincoln spoke to you in person?

T: The medium started going 'Mmmghh mmmghh' and then 'Ready', so we all thought Lincoln had come to us, and we were told to ask anything, so someone asked 'Mr Lincoln, Mr Lincoln, what did you think of the movie? ..and after about three seconds the medium suddenly dropped down and said, 'Lincoln has left us'.

J: Ehh?! He didn't say anything?!

T: No, Lincoln didn't say anything.

J: Just 'Mmgh, mmgh'?

T: Yeah, and then he fell straight down..and was finished in three seconds. The whole venue had been waiting so eagarly...

J: What kind of article did Tokyo Sports write?

T: About how the venue was....*4

*laughing*

K: That fits well with this show!

J: This kind of chaos. So you were there, Tasai san?

T: Yes, I was reporting on it.

J: Oh really?

T: Yeh, that type of thing happened.

J: I wonder how the medium was after that, after Lincoln left.

T: She's getting paid for nothing.

K: Well, maybe some more accidents happened...

J: Oh yeah, she felt the danger. She didn't research enough before calling him.

T: She should have studied.

J: Maybe she didn't expect that many reporters?

K: Oh, maybe, she thought 'oh no..'

J: Maybe she was shocked to see so many people when she turned up. But the movie company paid her to promote the movie like this right?

T: Yes

J: Ahh, but people will probably go to see this movie right, Kami?

Kami: As for Lincoln coming down, he probably didn't say anything because he planned to speak in English.

J, T: Oh yeah.

K: Maybe

Kami: They forgot how to speak English?

J: I see..he hasn't been called in a long time, so even he forgot how to speak English?

Kami: No no, the medium.

J: Ah, the medium? Ah, I see.

Kami: Even I forget what to say sometimes, as soon as I think about it, and when im listening, you're like 'oh he's gone'

J: Isn't that dementia? Kami, can you speak to dead people like a medium can, can gods do it?

Kami: Gods? There are gods who can do that.

K: But you can't.

J: But you can't?

Kami: No, I can't do anything *J laughs*

J: We can only pray to you?

Kami: Yes, only pray.

J: I reckon I could be a god then too.

K: Yeh, yeh.

J: Its pretty interesting, no matter what your capacity, you could be a god, right? *laughing*

Kami: No, being a god is not about your capacity...

J: Oh, its not, im wrong?

Kami: Are you making fun of me?

J: No, im not! Im just too naive.

Kami: Being a god is something you're born with.

T: Ahh, its deep.

Kami: Being a god is something you are born with.

K: He just said that.

J: Im kinda imagining him with a smug face right now. *K laughs*

J: I havn't met him so I don't know though.

Kami: Even though I can't do anything, Im different from you guys.

J: Ah, you are born different?

Kami: Yes, yes, yes.

J: You exist differently from regular humans?

Kami: Yes, yes, yes.

J: I see.

K: We're right back to the occult now, aren't we?

J: Yeh, this is almost like a Tokyo Sports kind of issue.

Kami: No, you mustn't doubt the existence of god!

J: Oh, you musn't?

Kami: You mustn't! If you do, and you watch this movie, you will die.

J: We'll die?

T: Scary!

K: I wonder if we'll really die?

Kami: So believe in god!

K: Oh, if you believe in god, you won't die if you watch this movie?

Kami: Yeh, you can increase your shrine donation or something..

J: It ends up with money again *K laughs* He always ends up talking about money.

T: Whats up with him? *K laughing*

J: He doesn't have anything nice to say. Its always down to money in the end. With Ghosn he was the same.

T: He was, yeh *laughing*

Kami: Thats right

J: This has nothing to do with the movie 'Antrum'...

K: So there is a subscribe option on youtube right?

J: Yes, if you subscribe for us...

K: I think I should say 'please subscribe', I havn't said it yet * T laughs*

J: Please subscribe, everyone.

T: Please.

K: If we get more subscribers, we can do more things.

J: Right

Kami: Yes, please subscribe.

J: Subscribers will probably...

*sound cuts out*

On screen message :The sound cut out for some reason. We'll let you know what they said. For now, this episode has ended .

*1 - Not 100% sure I understood this story right.

*2 Translating quantum physics isn't my strong point.

*3 Im fairly sure i've missed some nuance here.

*4 Couldn't catch this.

Marinette's New Shield ch. 3

Ch.1 ch.2

A/n: guys thank you so much for waiting patiently on this :'D it means a lot!!! Fair warning, it's a cliffhanger. Enjoy! I dont own miraculous ladybug

Marinette was exhausted. Ruby had almost been Akumatized hours ago, but managed to not turn and keep the akuma. After that whole ordeal, she had told Chloe to take the girl home to rest. The plan she had to expose Lila was practically gold, but it also involved practically destroying the ladyblog.

Alya worked so hard for that, she would be crushed.

And yet it wouldn't have been such a problem if she checked her own sources and asked Ladybug herself. The Culpa siblings practically spoke in her head, shielding her mind from all the negative things. Ruby seemed younger than Felix, almost the same age as Adrien, but she was fsr more mature in every way. If Marinette didn't recieve the miraculous, she would bet Ruby would've gotten it.

Speaking of which.

"Tikki?" The young girl called out to the red kwami, surprised by the silence. A few seconds passed, before the little red blur appeared before her. "Tikki! I got worried you were captured or something."

The little god giggled, kissing her chosen's cheek. "I was just out getting a bit of fresh air. You should check on your friend. You don't know what effects the akuma does, especially if she was still touched by the akuma."

"You're right." The noirette said, going to stand up, only to hear her phone buzz with a text. Looking at her kwami, she picked up the phone, seeing that it was a message from Marc.

Marc 1:34pm: hey mari. I know we havent talked in a bit, I went on a family trip and got really sick coming back. I was talking to Nath about all of us meeting and reviewing the next comic to publish, but he says some girl named Lila told him that she could talk to a famous writer-- who's dead mind you-- about helping us publish it. Nath was also skeptical, given that I told him the writer was dead. Nath wants to verfiy something with you, so is it cool if we meet up tomorrow? Sorry for the long text.

Marinette read and reread the text. Nathaniel wasn't one of the active Lila worshippers, but believed it to some degree. But thanks to Marc, she was probably going to get a friend back. She held back tears as she stared at the text, feeling Tikki hug her cheek.

"Marinette its okay. Let it out." The little kwami said softly. And for the first time since Lila came back, Marinette cried, letting go of all the stress she's held.

Losing her friends.

Being called a bully.

...Having someone believe her.

For the first time in a while, Marinette cried for herself.

°·°·°·°·°·°·°

Ruby laid down on her bed, soft music playing on her speakers as she wrote to her brother, not leaving out any detail of the plan and asking what should be changed.

After sending the email, because her brother liked to keep it professional, she moved her laptop, opting to grab a book and read. Stretching, she stood from her bed and went the small shelf she had and grabbed a book, only to throw it in a direction when she felt someone in the room. She turned, seeing Ladybug smile at her while holding the book in her hand.

"Ladybug, I didn't expect you to arrive." Ruby said, raising an eyebrow at the heroine. The spotted hero just smiled, walking over and handing the book.

"I wanted to check up on you. Though it has been a few hours since you were almost Akumatized, there could be some effects that could happen later." Ruby nodded, going over to her bed. She sat on the edge and gestured for Ladybug.

"It would also be a bit suspicious if Ladybug came to someone's place in the middle of the day if there wasn't an akuma." The girl crossed her arms, seeming relaxed. But Ladybug knew Ruby was still a bit on edge.

"How are you feeling, honestly?" Ladybug asked, staring at Ruby. The girl in question sighed, looking down.

"A bit shaken. I know magic affects how you look and sound, but with Hawkmoth it was different. I know him, I'm almost positive about it. But I can't bring myself to get any evidence without hurting people I care about. I've always been able to have a sixth sense on everything, that's why they called me the more sensible one out of me and my brother." Ruby explained, fiddling with her sleeve.

Ladybug was in shock. Ruby probably knew who Hawkmoth and could possibly end this terror on Paris. But she knew she can't force her to reveal anything. Instead, she opted to listen, thinking that she could possibly a good holder in some near future, if she talked to Fu about it.

"I don't know if you know Marinette," Ruby started, grabbing Ladybug's attention, "but she's a good person in a bad situation. The tones she gives off are both spring and storm and I honestly wouldn't be surprised if that storm came to prove everyone wrong. All I want to do is help her."

"The plan will work, Ruby." Ladybug said, smiling softly as she placed a hand over Ruby's, causing the girl to look up. "Sure it'll take a bit more time, but talk it out with those you trust. Chat Noir and I will back you up as well." The young Culpa relaxed, eyes shinning brightly as she stared at ladybug.

"Thank you Ladybug."

"Of course."

°·°·°·°·°·°·°

Next day

"Rubes!" Ruby looked up to see Lila walk over to her, a sweet smile on her face, though her eyes held a dangerous glint. In the distance, she saw Alya and the other mindless sheep stare, as if encouraging Lila to talk with her.

The girl sighed, closing her notebook and standing up, just as Lila reached her. "Hey Rubes. The others encouraged me to talk to you about Adrien. So I was hoping we could compromise." She said sweetly, but Ruby could feel the bad air around her.

"How about we talk about this in a more private location. That way we're not interrupted." Ruby narrowed her eyes as she spoke softly, gesturing for Lila to walk first. A scowl replaced the girl's fake smile and she walked forward. The young Culpa looked back and saw Adrien stare at her in worry, standing next to Chloe and Marinette, who wore the same expressions.

Make amends, Adrien. I'll be back in one piece. She stared at them for a bit more, offering a small smile before walking off with Lila.

They entered a quiet room, Ruby fumbling with her phone before putting in her front pocket, just as Lila turned around. "I don't know what kind if game you're playing, but let me make this clear, Adrien is mine. And I'll ruin you just like I did to that baker girl." Lila sneered, her glare practically murderous. But Ruby wasn't effected.

In fact, Ruby smirked, walking forward confidently to the girl and watching as she lost her edge began stepping back. Her back hit the wall and she started to panic as Ruby placed a hand on the wall next to her head. "Oh sweetheart, I'm not playing any games. I said it before when I said Adrien is like a brother to me. If only you stopped your lies, maybe you would have a chance. And if you played for the other team." Ruby said cheekily, leaning forward. She watched as Lila pale before blushing madly, pushing Ruby off of her.

Ruby just composes herself, her eyes turning cold as she stared at Lila. "You had you're chance to apologize. Keep the sheep for all I care. Before I leave, I'll make sure Marinette gets the attention she deserves. She's not someone you can manipulate to suicide, unlike those in your last school." She paused, seeing the color drain from Lila soon hearing that.

"And Adrien is not a prize for you to win. You claim to have all these connections to famous people. But none of them check out. Especially since you claim to be friends with those who were dead long before you were born."

"So what if I lied?! They'll believe anything I say! Its not my fault that girl killed herself for having other bully her! They just wanted to hear interesting tales--"

"And yet, it was you who whispered the lies in their ears. Just like you're doing now. With connections such as yours, you would be smart to think about what you say. Before this, I was told that Marinette was almost gone and that you've caused at least 4 akumas to go after her. Not to mention that you willingly have been Akumatized."

"How do you know all this?!" Lila shrieked, her face red and she balled her hands into fists. Ruby gave an unimpressed stare, crossing her arms.

"A real reporter checks the facts. There were cameras around Paris, and unlike the ladyblog, my blog is backed up by a big company. Alya is lucky I'm not blacklisting her blog for false information. Not yet anyways." She turned, ready to walk out, when she stopped, glancing back at the fuming girl.

"And claiming to be friends with Ladybug of all people, when you knowingly want her dead, is putting a big target on your head. Plan all you want to call me out, I'll be waiting for the extremes you to achieve that." With that, she left the room. Lila fummed on the spot, wondering how a brat like Ruby knew so much.

I'll make sure everything you say is a lie, Ruby.

Ruby took out her phone from her pocket, smiling at the recording before saving it and making a copy of it. She walked back to her spot, hearing pairs of steps walking towards her. Looking up, she saw Alya with some of the girls around her, as well as Marinette walk towards her.

They stopped and stared at each other upon reaching Ruby. Both looked uncertain, Alya more hateful than Marinette's. Ruby, getting agitated, stands up stepping between the two before words can be said.

"Look I don't know what kind of drama you both have, but its petty. Whatever Lila has told you about Marinette can't possibly be true, but would you know, Alya? Seeing as you never asked Marinette." She stood in front of Marinette propectively, staring down at Alya.

"The rivalry between me and Lila over a boy is ridiculous and I would never stoop thst low just to keep someone I know away from soemone else. Now if you'll excuse me, I have something to write." Alya and the girls stared in shock as Ruby walked away, Marinette scurring after her.

"What-- forget it. Let's find Lila." Alya said after recovering, the others nodded and following the checkered shirt girl.

°·°·°·°·°·°·°

During lunch, Ruby went to find Marinette, when she saw she was with two boys. One with black hair and a red jacket while the other had red tomato hair and a dark grey cardigan. They were talking, Ruby couldn't hear however due to being far, but found out Marinette was crying. The girl was about to go iver there, when Marinette lunged herself at the two boys, hugging him tightly.

She smiled at the scene and turned away, knowing she can find Marinette later. Instead, she walked out to the courtyard, when a scream echoed out. Ruby ran and saw the Alya and others run away, as an akuma jumped down from a ledge, looking around.

"Lila it's okay!!" Alya yelled, dodging a projectile that was aimed for her. The reporter managed to active the akuma alert, causing everyone in the school and in the area to be alert of what was happening.

"You!" Ruby turned and saw Lila stare at her menacingly.

"Oh my, this proves my words even more. You're after me right? Let's see if you can catch me Rossi." Ruby smirked, dashing out to the front doors, an enraged Lila behind her.

"Lila no! Whatever Ruby said wasn't true!" Alya had yelled trying to follow. But something began to block the front doors. "Lila!"

The girl looked like a spider, her skin deathly pale, eyes red and enraged staring as Ruby ran. Surprisingly, she was fast, but since Lila was an akuma she could catch up. People had already left the scene when the alert sounded, everyone in the streets going to designated shelters until the akuma was dealt with.

Ruby didn't know how long she had been running, but when she reached the Louvre and saw no one, she relaxed. The air drastically changed and she turned, watching as Lila stalked over to her.

"Just because you know about my lies, doesn't mean anything. I can ruin you like that girl and make you look like a fool! But Hawkmoth wants to know if you actually know who he is." Lila smirked, shooting out a thread from her hair and throwing at Ruby. The girl dogded at the last second, though she knew that she can't dodge forever.

"So you're a truth seeker? Or stealer to make them you're own?" Ruby remarks, dodging multiple threads.

"Shut up!!" Lila screeched, throwing double the threads than before. Ruby's wyes widen, knowing she can't dodge that many, when a figure jumps in front and blocks all of the threads. Ruby hears Lila snarl lowly as she stared at Chat Noir.

"Looks like the cat has come to play."

Chat Noir doesn't reply, only giving a deadly glare to Lila as he stood protectively in front of Ruby. The sound of a yo-yo echoed and Lila was wrapped from the waist up and yanked back to the wall, crumbling on top of her. Ladybug lands next to Chat Noir, both of them watching as Lila picks herself up from the rubble.

"You okay, Ruby?"

"I'm fine, Ladybug." Ruby panted, stepping back as Lila let out a scream.

"Ladybug. Why don't you come here for a bit. So I can get a good look at your earrings." Lila growled, before lunging at the three. Chat Noir quickly grabs Ruby and they all dodge out of the way.

They land on a roof that was fair distance away from Lila, Chat Noir setting down Ruby gently. Ladybug noted that her partner was quiet, which was unusual for someone like him.

"Theres a chance the akuma could be in her earring, hair tie, or bracelet. She wasn't carrying any purse when I talked to her." Ruby states, looking at Lila with a calculating look. "She's after me. I can be a distraction while you guys--"

"What? No!" "Out of the question." Both heroes reply at once, startling the young culpa.

"We have-- duck." Ruby suddenly said, pushing both heroes quickly as a thread shot towards them. The thread hit her and felt heat in her throat and felt her body being pulled. Vaguely she heard the heroes scream her and suddenly she felt herself being held tight.

She heard Lila laugh and move away from the heroes. "Now, lets find out what your hiding, shall we?"

Dabi and the awkward black ballon: a narrative comparison between Touya Todoroki and Vinsmoke Sanji

Hello everyone!

I’m really thrilled about this whole situation , I can’t stop coming up with ideas!

This is about Dabi, Hawks and the black balloon. I’m making this post because I’m totally convinced that Dabi hadn’t tell Hawks he was Touya Todoroki. He might have said something that implied it, but I think that this is not all he told to Hawks. I’ll try to cover others possibility in another post, but to consolidate my position I wants to draw another comparison.

This time is between Dabi and Black Leg Sanji from Eiichiro Oda’s great masterpiece: One Piece.

One Piece is a worldwide famous and one of the most important and best sellers manga of this generation. It doesn’t matter if you like it or not: at some point if your life if you like mangas you’re bound to hear One Piece sooner or later.

For those who never read/ disliked it, Black Leg Sanji is one of the main crew character and soon after his introduction he haunted fans with one question: who he really is?

In years hints became gradually more important; however One Piece is full of adventure and emotional moments so you’re bound to forget about it from time to time... just to be reminded that he’s hiding something.

I don’t know what Horikoshi thinks about One Piece, but I think he should know one or two things about it at least . Oda is considered one hell of a mangaka, being able to tie plot lines among the years, so if I were Horikoshi I’d give a look at One Piece to take inspiration. You have to consider this is a good way to avoid having a copycat event in two mangas published on the same magazine.

I’ll explain briefly who Sanji is.

Sanji is the cook of the Straw Hat pirates and he was (almost forcibly) recruited by Luffy before they entering in the Grand Line making him one of the first nakama.

He was introduced with the nickname “Black Leg”, inherited by his boss who raised him like father ( “Red Leg Zeff”). Zeff tried to assault the cruise ship Sanji was working on as a kid, but they both shipwrecked. When they were saved Zeff took Sanji they met Luffy.

In One Piece names are extremely important, but back then readers really hasn’t that feeling and before Sanji, both Nami and Usopp didn’t have a family name. So no one was impressed.

The first foreshadowing something was off happens around Skypeia arc. In fact all the first straw hat pirates (Zoro, Nami and Usopp) were said to be from East blue, thus everyone thought Sanji was too. However after finding a book Nami never heard of, Sanji gave a brief recap adding casually he was from North Blue instead .

A recurring fun gag about him is that when he finally gained his wanted poster an awful drawing of him was placed instead of his photo. Later on another character was introduced: Duval, who is the spit image of the bleak drawing. As funny as it can be, Duval was persecuted for many time, guaranteeing Sanji wasn’t found.

The biggest red herring Sanji gave was around chapters 480+. In front an honourable yet powerful enemy, Sanji was ready to sacrifice his life for his captain’s sake , underlining that he is someone important due to his background.

After that many theories were edited. And this went on for YEARS.

Until, chapter 800+. Around thst arc we finally get to know his full name and backstory. Vinsmoke Sanji was the third male son of a fallen aristocratic family. He had 3 brothers and one sister, an abusive father and a mother who was locked away in a medical facilities. In fact when she was pregnant, her husband forced on her some scientific experiment to turn their kids in the “perfect soldiers” stripping out every sign of humanity from them. She, trying to save her children for this bleak fate, took a medicine to inverse the process. In the end only Sanji was spared and had a kind heart, while she had a chronic illness that few years later killed her. Sanji then was considered a failure by his own father , enough to fake his own death and putting him in a jail. He then escaped to East Blue thanks to his sister who helped him.

Now, Enji seems to be a loving father when compared to Vinsmoke Judge.

Despite Sanji and Dabi’s story being quite similar , what I want to point out it’s the timing.

Oda foreshadowed this for years and gradually. And when the time was about to come, he added even more details to build Sanji’s great revelation. Once it was declared he was a Vinsmoke there was no turning back and all of his past was known in the following chapters. Of course it took some time to develop it all, but Vinsmokes were brand new characters, while Todoroki are very well known, so I expected Touya’s past to be introduced soon after his revelation, like it happened.

My main concern is... why.

Horikoshi chose an approach similar to Oda.

He show us Todoroki siblings one after another. He hinted Touya had a powerful fire type quirk, yet his body couldn’t stand it. He hinted about his death even before Natsuo spoke about it openly, having Fuyumi praying in one panel. In My Villain Academia he inserted baby Fuyumi’s panel. When Dabi was first introduced he spoke like Shoto does and he made clear he wanted to keep his name a secret. We then were reminded that nobody knew who Dabi was, but instead he was thinking about family and hold a personally grudge against Todorokis.

And that’s was fine! It was exactly like Sanji’s and to be expected.

in chapter 267 at the peak of drama the big black balloon happened. I was both intrigued and excited about it because it was something different and new when compared with the iconic One Piece. And so I guessed that we would have to wait a lot of time before knowing the truth. Then chapter 290 happened.

Now, if you compared Sanji’s reveal with Touya’s reveal your noticed that Sanji took years since his first introduction. The most significant and last foreshadowing can be considered his wanted poster, which after Dressrosa arc finally had his picture and full name on it, with the status of “wanted only alive”.

The huge unnerving block balloon was like Sanji’s poster: the moment everyone saw it they thought Dabi said “I’m Touya” as much as everyone said “Sanji’s theory about being some sort of prince/ son of an important family it’s true”.

And it works! Because the moment we knew Touya was Dabi we would have wanted to know how Touya turned into Dabi, as much as what happened to Sanji.

What it doesn’t sound right it why hiding that dialogue with a black ballon in chapter 267 to give us the truth only 6 months later when One Piece took his own sweet time with Sanji.

To me this makes absolutely no sense at all.

But Horikoshi decided differently than One Piece. And illogically.

The only way this would actually makes any sense is if Dabi said something else to Hawks. Or rather: what if he said he was Touya but with another meaning? With last chapters we were overloading with new informations about Dabi/ Touya. So the black balloon isn’t that interesting to us anymore. And conveniently Hawks is out of the games for the moment, so we don’t expect him to say something about it. It might be argued that we don’t need to, not anymore.

However after that sentence which took and entire panel Hawks should have something to say, and he can’t bothered the reader with something we already know.

This comparison ties perfectly with Anakin Skywalker’s: in fact after years it was Sanji’s turned to be talked about. His identity moved One Piece’s story one arc forward.

Instead about Anakin... audience didn’t really need his backstory. It was something you wanted to know, but the story could have worked just fine: you just needed to know Vader was Luke’s father to understand why he saved the Jedi at the cost of his own life.

I thus expect we’ll dig up more into Dabi’s past in the following arcs; no, I’m not delusion: Dabi being Touya won’t move the plot much forward aside from the hero society being totally ruined. And neither will end the Todorokis drama.

The situation is dire, of course, and heroes will have it hard. But still, society needs heroes so they can’t just give up on them. Things will change and won’t change at the same time cause even in the worst case scenario, in which Endeavor and Hawks will stop working and all heroes are fired someone needs to take a stand against Shigaraki.

Touya’s death instead might give another push forward, giving the Todoroki arc a deserved ending.

Bear in mind that this doesn’t mean Dabi can’t die. He totally can. But if into Touya’s death a secret lies this can be useful for upcoming future arcs, even if I doubt Dabi will die here and now.

Star Twinkle Precure Episode 22

Family is family!

Star Twinkle is back with a surprisingly good and heartwarming episode this week. This review was supposed to be posted on Sunday but things happened and… oh well. But anyway, i’m here today and this review is getting out no matter what so let’s get going.

So when I saw the preview last week I expected this one to be very boring, especially coming just after Cosmo’s debut, the placement in the storyline seemed very off to me.

Well looking back now I still think timeline-wise is weird, I’m gonna touch on that in a bit, but I honestly enjoyed it while I was watching which to me was a shocker because I didn’t really like any other episodes focusing on the cures’ families we had in this season.

And I think the biggest reason behind me liking this episode so much is Hikaru’s dad presence here. Youichi is just as nuthead as Hikaru is and it’s just amazing to see them together.

I think the general consense among fans was that Hikaaru’s dad was evil or connected to the bad guys somehow, but he is not and I can’t stress enough how much I like this. Like, we already had a character from the “good side” who was amoung the villains, having another one would fell blant and unoriginal. He’s not an evil mastermind, he’s just a man following his dreams while being supported by his family and that’s the sweetest thing ever.

Though I think he could make the effort and come home more than just once a year, I can think off the top of my head at least 7 other ocasions that he could make an effort and take a week off to spend at least 3 days with his family.

Thankfully the show touches on the subject a little bit with this bickering his father has with him. It’s pretty realistic and it gave us some of the more touching moments of the season so far. Maybe I’m being biased because I have daddy issues, but it really touched my heart seeing this relationship, and all the discussions this episode had.

And making Hikaru’s grandpa (what’s his name again?) the nottrigger of this week was also a pretty good decision because it gives us the other side of this discussion that we maybe wouldn’t see in another ocasion. I had to pause the episode for a bit because it got me starting thinking about parenting and other things, it really shook me up.

Now once again, I’d rather that we had a father and son confrontation so thst we could have a more solid reconciliation, but I can give it a pass because I know men don’t talk (sadly). But I really can’t give it a pass at how they only frame grandpa as the wrong guy when Youichi is also wrong a little bit and he could be home more often.

This episode was really amazing but, since not everything is perfect, iy has a major flaw to me.

We’ve just came out of Cure Cosmo introductionary ark. This is the point of the story that we should be seeing she getting along, setting relationships with the rest of the group, and truly becoming a part of the team.

But no, this is the first episode since Yuni became a cure ans she was completely forgotten for the majority of the episode, she just came to do precure stuff and left. If you erase Yuni’s participation in this episode everything could still be played in the same way and it wouldn’t make a difference, In fact, if that was the case, I think it would make even more sense ande be more meaningful if we had seen Hikaru puryfing her grandpa.

I think Madoka and Elena had more screentime than Yuni AND THEY HAD BARELY NO PARTICIPATION IN THIS EPISODE.

Why would you make up a situation that would force Yuni to join the team in the last episode if you’re not gonna do anything with her in this one???? Just to give a badly edited transformation scene and a final pose with the entire group already? I don’t know about you guys, but I’d like to see the group ttransformation in an episode that holds some meaning to the whole group when we see all five girls being truly connected with each other instead of here when it fells empty.

And that was episode 22, a pretty solid episode that had a couple of cracks on the side.

If everything goes right I’ll have two Prichan posts coming out still in the next few days so expect these coming. Seeing how subs for Aikatsu Friends! aren’t out yet I’ll make episodes 64 and 65 together later next week. I think this is all for announcements for today. See you guys soon. ^^

Fadderuka

Omg this week has been so exhausting!!!

My friends and I decided to be "fadder" thid year which is like being a mentor(?) to the new students of the career you're doing sort of. You explained to the new students how the career is, about the subjects, about you know the campus, places, etc. Plus you go out with them and party and well it's a way the university makes sure the new students feel comfortable around the first days of uni and I mean I guess here in Norway everyone is always trying to not leave alone anyone(?) So...by that way you foe sure have someone at uni you can be friends with(?) Idk sounds childlish, like you're an adult I don't need to tell you "go make friends" but it's actually really useful and no one is against that, somehow it helps to socialize between each others so yeah...

Well I don't regret to have had this exhausting week but omg I just really need to sleep like for 10 years.

So I know I jave to talk about what happened this summer and stuff but now tht this is more recent and I remember everything perfectly I'm going to talk about it. (And someday I'll talk about the last months)

So we started with Monday.

Monday was exhausting since the beginning, we had to wake up really early because we had to be at uni at 9 because we hade a breakfast of all the "fadder" group. In the group there was Lucas, Luisa, Alejandra, Elena (which is more friend of Lucas than mine), Thomas an Birk (also friends of Lucas, both of them are Norwegians but they speak really nice Spanish a d they're really friendly) and also Herman (a Norwegian boy which has a raspy voice that you can't understand what he's saying neither in Norwegian nor Spanish, but anyway...)

So we went to this breakfast, and there I met a boy who was my age and he's from Spain, his name is Alvaro and I found out he's going to be a teacher this year, I mean he will help the real teachers and stuff bt yeah...like he was doing some practices. He's actually fun and really open.

Then we went to welcomed the new students, we were in this big room and people started to come, at one moment I decided to be social and sat in a table with some new students and introduced myself. I started talking in Norwegian but then a girl said "sorry you have to talk in Spanish or English because there's this boy who can't Norwegian" and I was like "nice..." But yeah at the beginning was hard, they were quiet, shy, no one wanted to talk amd I was like "come on, this is harder for me than for you..." But anyway, I somehow made them talk and socialize a little bit, the sad and funny thing is that I don't remember the names of most of the people (specially girls). There we had also a little breakfast too with them, the professors and the consultant of the Spanish studies gave their speeches and we also introduced to them as the fadder group with who they will be hanging out these days.

After that we made a few questions about what they expect of this course, what are they afraid of and stuff like that. Then, we went around the campus and showed them the common places and after that we decided to do a game to know each other better.

Omg and there was this guy, his name is Kjetil, his my age, he's GORGEOUS. Like I don't know how but since the first minute I just fell for him, everyone fell okay? Like HOW WOULDN'T YOU? What a boy. But on this game of knowing each other where you asked "who is from Norway? Who is not? Who has traveled to Spain or Latin America? Blablabla on the question of "who has gf/bf?" Kjetil stood up and all of us where "shit." DAMN YOU. I mean I understand a boy like this if he's not in a relationship he would be totally gay. For sure.

Anyways, back to the game, we were surprised because there were only 4 persons who were from Latin America and Spain, in fact there was only one boy who was from Spain, and I think just 3 girls from Latin America. So it was kinda of shocking. There were Norwegians but also a lot of people from other countries (Persia, Somali, Finland, Poland) When I started I think there were more Spanish people and only two-three persons who were not Norwegian nor Spanish so it was shocking for us.

After that we talkt and had lunch together and there I met Arian who was one of the boys from Persia, he actually speaks really good Spanish. He is 21 I think and yeah we talk during lunchtime. Actually all these days I talked to everyone but I talkt more with the boys lmao.

Anyway, around 3pm we went to a ceremony of students in the center of Oslo. And after that we decided to go home and meet later to have "vors" (pronounced "fors") which is like a pre-party where you meet at a house and drink.

We decided to divide us so 4 fadders went to Elena's house and the other 4 went tl Herman's. Luisa, Alejandra and me went to Herman's. It was nice, I've never been in a vors before so I didn't know what to expect. At the beginning we didn't know what to do lmao so we just sat there listening to people tall, sometimes we made a comment about a topic but omg the first hour we were like.....(I'm tall about Luisa, Alejandra and me) The good thing is that Kjetil, the pretty guy, came so I could talk with him more HAHAHAHAHAH. I talked with all of them, I just remember a few names like Håvard who was this Norwegian guy and he was nice to talk to, I remember this blonde girl who was 19-20 and her middle name was Indianne (pretty name), I know Per (also Norwegian too) and there were more people but I don't remember. We played a game, no idea of what was its name but it was fun, by that way we all were somehow focused on the same thing, the vors started around 6pm, but I and my friends came at 7pm, we all left to Chateau Neuf which is a party-place which organized parties all this week. While we were cleaning the house we talked to more people, I talked with Kjetil and he speaks good Spanish too, he's so cuuuuteeee, and I don't know I just see good in him you know? Humble, friendly, caring, what a nice guy seriously.

We went to Chateau Neuf and I met Lucas there, and then I saw Arian and I mean we hugged, I hugged everyone that night, I wasnt drunt but I felt so happy. I know that on this party I saw most of the fadders except Birk and Luisa, but Luisa went to the airport around 10pm because her husband (yeah, husband and she's 26) came back from Bodø. Anyways, I talked with Simen, a new Spanish student, he's 19 and soooo cute like a baby we talked and he was so fun, I also talked with this guy from Finland. In fact he's half Finnish and half Nicaraguan, and yeah he's the one who can't Norwegian. He's handsome, and you know he goes to the gym because he has a strong back but he's short lol. Anyway, he's 21 and he was so funny, I mean yeah he was drunk but still...I remember he told me "you habe a nice tongue or mouth" but I didn't know if he meant that the way I speak was nice or that was a total indirect, now at this point (Sunday afternoon) I know it was an indirect.

Arian was also right next to me almost the whole time, I kind of feel like he liked me(?) He's nice but I don't see myself with him anyways... Actually that day was pretty good I really enjoyed, the only one who didn't hsve that much fun was Alejandra...

I remember that when I left I said bye to everyone hugging them and I remember that I went to say bye to Lucas and then Arian came hugging me first and I was like "yeaaaaah"

On Tuesday we had this meeting at uni at 9am, we were all dead, Arian joined us for a coffee but at the beginning we didn't talk. In fact, I was so tired I didn't want to talk to anyone. In the meeting I saw the Finnish guy almost asleep. After the meeting, we decidet to go around Oslo a little bit, Luisa and I talled with this girl who was half Spanish half Romanian (whose name I don't remember) and Erik, Norwegian guy who is 23 and has been studying one year Spanish via Yotube. And I feel a disgrace, because here I am 5 years in Norway and still have problems with the languange, damn you Erik. But seriously we were so tired that at 1am we were all home. At 4pm we had this karaoke thing and I was impressed because they all sang and it was so fun! I talked there also with Kjetil and Emil, Emil is also Norwegian, I don't know his age but I bet his my age or a year younger and it's so funny because when he uses glasses he looks like a total hipster (cute too), but without them he looks like these boys who loves surfing hahahah he's cute though, but doesn't speak that much Spanish.

After that we went to this place called Uhørt, where they drank beers and stuff, I actually didn't drink that day. At that place I met Armin, the other boy from Persia, this guy is 25(?) I think. And he speaks perfectly Spanish because he has lived there for 11 years. He's nice and funny too.

But yeah I left around.....9pm(?) Because I was so tired and I went to sleep at 10:30pm.

On Wednesday we had this game where they had to go around the campus and write answers, after the game there was pizza and we said which group won the game, whcih was a group of girl whose names I obviously don't remember. Well in fsct I think I remember one, Sofie but that's it.

Later around 7pm we had a quiz in the bar Union857, it was a cool bar actually and the quiz went great, I didn't know thst Norwegian were so interested in these games, but yeah they're fine. We finished st 10pm and Luisa and Alejandra decided to stay at home but I went out with these people and the rest of thw fadders because theh decided to go to a bar which was close to my house so yeah.

I sat with Kjetil (obviously), with Nikita ( a Chilean girl who is 19), Arian sat also in the same table and Emilie (I think it was her name, Norwegian too) later Thomas came and we talked too it was weird we talked a lot but he was tickling me and we even held hand a little but I mean to me it's normal(?) Like I could give the hand to someone and rested it there for a while lmao. Okay it's not normal, but for me it is. Then Elena came also and we talked too and also Simen talked with me a lot, Kjetil and Arian were in the same table talking too. Birk later came and seriously he was so nice, like what a nice boy I really like him as a friend. I feel like Kjetil, Thomas and Birk have this friend potentiy thing hahahsha I mean most of the boys I met this weel has it hahaha.

And well around 12:40 or something like that I just decided to go home because I had to work the next day. I hugged everyone, Arian hugged me even longer and I left Kjetil to the last minute, I actually did it on purpose. When I hugged everyone I stood up amd decided to move towards the door but then I turned around and said bye to everyone with the hand, and Kjetil looked at me like a pupoy and I was like "aaawee wait I'm coming" and I went to hug him hahaha. I said bye to Thomas too because by that time he was standing in the middle of the bar snd we hugged and I remember he kissed me on the cheek and I was like "okay! I'm going now" yeah what a nice goodbye hahahaha.

On Thursday I went to work, I seriously didn't want to, but yeah...I worked until 9pm, the good thing is that the plans with the new students weren't until 9pm so I managei to joind them around 10pm. They played bowling, I told my cousin Cristofer to join us. I introduced him to almost everyone. A Norwegian girl, Weselmøy, had a crush on him and at the end of the night she told me that if my cousin wanted she could be her sugarbaby or something like that, I was like....okay? But you know, you go girl! Alvaro, the Spanish boy has always been this week with us, he's so funny seriously and he confessed he was gay and I was like "whaaaat?" I mean I wasn't attracted to her at all but he didn't look like you know...gay. After bowling we went to Azúcar, a pub-disco and I don't know I gave all of myself dancing it was so fun, I was having such a great time there, when we wenteres I sat in a sofa whcih was a little bit higher than the other places, and Kjetil sat next to me, we didn't talk that much but you know he was there hahahaha we all danced there and while I was dancing like a diva in that platform where I was I realized I couldn't look at anyone because I mean I looked to the right and I saw the Finnish boy there looking at me smiling, then I looked at the left and saw Armin and Arian smiling to me too, damm it was so awkward lmao.

But yeah I had a really good time and actually my cousin got a long really good with Birk and Alvaro. And well we went home at...2-3(?)

The next day I had to open at work and I was dying but anyways! On Friday people had vors at 5pm but I decided to just come later to the party that it was at uni, it was... interesting. I don't know Arian and I didn't talk that much, I feel like he liked me but hest just giving up hahahaha I mean I like him as a person and as a friend but obviously I just don't see me with him, so the thing is that we don't talk that much anymore. Anyway, I saw Armin there but I didn't say hi at the beginning it wasn't until I went to another room wjere Alvaro and othe people were where I started to talk with him. It was, I mean, I was going down the stairs and he was behind me and I mean he hugged me but he also tried to kiss me but I kind of avoid him laughing looking to another place, but yeah, then when we were dancing he was all the time tickling me and hugging me, I mean he's nice but he's not my type I guess.

I got mad that night at Alejandra, don't know why but sje decided to hit me all the time (not hard but still) and even though I was like "the fuck is wrong with you" *joking tone* sje kept.doing it and I hit her back too she kept doing it until sje hit more my nose than my forehead and that's when I decided to be serious to her. Like I don't understand what happened to her honestly but I wasn't in the mood to forgive her at all, I even stopped talking to her for 30 min. Later we talked with Kjetil and Emil and omg they were so happy and sweaty hahahaha, after a while we all decided to go to a place called Mastermind, Alejandra at that time went home because she had to work, but I was fine with her leaving. Sje was being so annoying the whole night, even Albaro realized and told her. I remember she told me to not made up with Emil because it was hers but I was like "dude, you have a boyfriend so shut up" and then she said she wanted also to have boys hitting on her, but I was like YOU HAVE A BOYFRIEND WHY WOULD YOU WANT THAT. And yeah it's true that almoy every time that we went out there were peopt hittit on me, but here I am. Single. The end.

Anyway, we went to Masteind, we went Kjetil, Emil, Elena, Birk, Thomas, Armin, Álvaro, a girl who was from Latin America (Gabriella), a friend of Álvaro (Ennis), Simen, and some Norwegian girls.

I remember on the way to this place I talled with Simen a lot. Then at the place I sat on this big sofa, to my left there was this Norwegian girl whose name is Linn and to my right Birk, then next to Birk Gabriella sat and the rest of the people sat around the sofa in chairs. Emil sat next to Linn and Kjetil next to Emil. Then there was Elena and Thomas maybe(?) A Norwegian girl, Simen, someone more, the Finnish guy, Armin, norwegian girls, and then Alvaro, Ennis and we ended the circle on Gabriella again. So it was actually pretty fine, we all talked, and had fun. It was also weird because I mean Birk jas a girlfriend and it looked like he was flirting with me but at the same time I guess he wasn't (?) Like before we went there he made a massage on my neck and I was like THE HELL IS GOING ON and the he also took my hand when we were sitting I don't know why, BUT THEN he started to tickle my neck and Somen and a Norwegian girl were looking at us and I was like "or Birk is too drunk or I don't know what's going on". Then Birk asked me about Thomas, if I liked him and I was like "what do you mean?" I like him yeah, but I don't know how much I like him, I just, I just feel like if he were taller I would be all around him , that's something I have to confess hahahaha. But yeah I asked Birk that and he was like "I saw you holding hands on Wednesday while talking to other people" and I was like "so? And you're taking my hand right now and like you literally kissed my hand a minute ago" like I was laughing at the situation so much, and I told him that I'm used to make some contact with people like holding hand but that doesn't mean anything. But anyway, I remember Simen went home first and when we were going to say goodbye, we hugged but he kissed me on the nexk and it was like a looooong kiss, like I mean for sure everyone saw that because we were standing there in the middle, lol. Armin after all he was the one who said goodbye the fastest, like I think he gave me a handshake(?). Funny. Elena, Birk, Kjetil, Emil and a few others went later and I remember Kjetil came to me to say goodbye and gave me also a kiss on the cheek and I was like OMG. And then, I don't know we went Alvaro, Thomas and the rest, at first Thomas said to me to wait for me, and I thought we were going in the same direction but obviously we weren't and also he met a few friends out of this place and started talking with them so I just say bye to everyone and headed home because I was freezing.

It was a great. I went to bed at 4am but I didn't worl until 12am so I had time to sleep enough.

Saturday I thought it was going to be like the best of the best but it was the most boring night of all. Kjetil didn't come, neither Emil. There were a lot of people who didn't come, Alvaro left also early, and I thought we were going to Chateau Neuf again but we didn't, and ended up in the same place we went on Thursday. But wven though I drank the same thing I did on Thursday and played the same songs, I wasn't in the mood at all. The oub was crowded and you couldn't even dance at all. I mean I talked to most of the people there but...yeah...I ended up going home at 1am.

But yeah the week in general was really good, and I'm glad I decided to be fadder. But anyway, no idea if I would be in a future fadder again, we'll see how is my energy hahahaha.

[PARA] Nine Nine One

Who: Lauren @alyricalberry Location: Undique Stadium Time: 16 August 2019 Summary: Lauren and Rachel are SP and they reunite for the first time to train and chat and show their powers and decide their code word uwu Triggers/Notes: Ghosts, dead people

Rachel had no idea what to expect from her training session with Lauren Zizes. She only knew what she'd seen online about the girl. She didn't even really know what her magic was about, what her skills were other than running multiple blogs. But that was also exciting to Rachel. It was nice to have an SP again. Rachel at least hoped that this would work out. She got to Undique first and waited for a bit before she saw Lauren walk in. "Lauren hi!" she said excitedly. "We should probably start by choosing our codeword so we can summon each other. Is there anything you'd think would work well?"

Lauren had a lot of things to do instead of wasting her time on this, but she figured that she could cut it it out fast so in the future it would be the less inconvenient to her. She took her gym clothes on a bag just in case, and Reneesme insisted to come. She glanded at the big transparent octopus hanging on and moving its tentacles. Her homework forced companion greet her. "Hi" she responded back without animosity. "No. Don't call me. Let's do this the bare minimun the school asks for. I don't want to be here more than 1 hour."

Rachel frowned. "Lauren, I get the feeling you don't take this seriously. Being in a socius pactum is a serious thing. We have to be able to count on each and rely on each other. The first part is that we need to be able to summon each other when we need to if one of us is in trouble," she told her. "We don't have to be here long, but we do need to decide on a code word and train a little bit so we can see how our powers interact with each other. Can you do that?"

Lauren nodded. "You know why? Because is not serious. I didn't came here to 'count' on people. If I'm in trouble, I won't call you. I'll call the cardines or 991." She was here to stop a wedding and to met the love of her life. This didn't help in any of that. "That's our code word. 911. My powers don't want to interact with y-" The old man that only she could see started to try to touch Rachel's hair. "D̡̳͔o̹͓̺ ͙̞̩y̱̞̣o̗͓̕u̜̩ ̹w͓a̴͇͖n͔̬̯t̼̪̀ ̬̗̣t͏̹̱e̸̱̩a̛͖̗ ̟͙̀a͟ǹ̩͍d̟̬̀ ͉͙͓c̶̯̲o̰͍̺o͓̖͙k̖̼͝ie̼̟̹s̛̞̩?̰̙̘" He says, but she doubts Rachel would hear anything, except maybe feel a sudden chill. Lauren looked unimpressed.

Rachel was going to snap back at Lauren when a chill suddenly ran over her. She almost felt like something was... touching her hair? But there was nothing there. Rachel took a step to the side to get away from the cold feeling. "Great, 911 is our code word. That's a good start. But we have to be able to fight together too, Lauren. Can't we just try? What kind of magic are you strongest at? I'm best with abjuration."

Lauren glared at the old man, expecting him to explain to her wich one was abjuration. The old man look at her with his empty eyes, not giving any answer. "Why do we have to fight together?" She had her wrestling days, but she could see the girl in front of her wasn't going to wrestle. She was asking about what kind of magic. What kind. Lauren was supposed to be the magic one. "Do you know wrestling?"

Rachel shrugged. "I... well, there's been a lot going on in the world lately, as I'm sure you've noticed. This whole socius thing is to help us better protect each other, I guess?" she told Lauren. "If something bad happens again, we can team up together to protect each other. I think that's why they're making us do this. But to be able to protect each other we have to make our magic work together," she added. "I don't know wrestling, no. But I'm a fast learner, if that's part of your magic?"

"In what world I would call you for help when I can call Cooper Anderson?"Lauren asks. "Not in this one." Lauren noticed a bit of doubt on Rachel's. "You think?" She thinks that's the real motive of doing this, but she doesn't sounds sure. "If something bad happends: run. Call the police. I'm a writer not a bodyguard." The octopus get out of her bag while slowly approaching Rachel. "No. It's just wrestling. I'm a medium." She was frankly not interesed in Rachel's magic. "Look. Let's do this. I invite you to my party at my dorm this saturday, all hot people coming, and you don't bother me more about this."

Rachel rolled her eyes. "The Cardines aren't always there when you need them. Nor are they usually reliable at all," she told her. Rachel was going to give up. Frankly, Lauren kept fighting her on the training question and it didn't seem all that worth it. But, if there was something Rachel Barbra Berry never did, it was give up. She had a flash of an idea and smirked at her socius. "Fine, how about we decide this way: a coinflip. If I win, you train with me. If you win, we don't train." Of course that wouldn't be an issue. Rachel always had luck on her side.

Lauren is offended, but her voice only sounds slighly angrier than before. "Excuse me, did you said the cardines aren't reliable?" Apart from 'Do you even know about Cooper Anderson', did this girl expected a college student was going to be more reliable? She picks up a coin. "Heads, I'll leave without training. Tails, you leave without a fight." She says, throwing the coin the the air.

Rachel raised a brow. “Yes, I did. I’ve had my fair share of run-ins with them to confidently say that,” she said. Rachel bit her lip at Lauren’s bet. She probably thought she was going to win this without training, but Rachel had a trick up her sleeve. “Sounds like a deal,” she said, watching as Lauren threw the coin in the air. She focused her luck magic just on the little coin. She made it so that the coin fell right on its side. It teetered for a second, looking like it was going to fall one way or another. And then, it stayed straight up, not falling on heads or tails. Rachel looked up at Lauren with a smirk. “Looks like we’re having a fight.”

Lauren reflected on her own words and annoyance. Rachel wasn't completelly off. It was true that everytime she called the cardines, asking for the most handsome one to come, they never brought Cooper. That's the exact definition of not being reliable. Now, this girl said she spend a lot of time with the cardines. That picked her interest. "Are you a criminal? Have you ever been arrested by Cooper Anderson?" She wanted to ask what she had to do to be so lucky. She even regretted the win-win coin situation, noe thst she knew Rachel had information, but when she looked down, the coin was on an almost impossible position. "This can't be...it must be fate." Lauren whispers. This was clearly a sign. A sign, showing her the way to her true love Cooper Anderson. And Alyrical Berry was goibg to be her fairy god mother guide. "Looks like it. You can start." She didn't know anything about magic fights and she figures Rachel was going to be her mentor figure on all this.

Rachel frowned. “No, I’m not a criminal. I’ve just... run into the cardines often,” she said. She was sure Lauren would have been angrier about the outcome of the coin flip, so she was shocked when Lauren told her to go ahead. “Okay, then. Let’s do this. We’ll just do warm-ups so we can see how our magic works together,” she said. She summoned her magic circle and started singing the classic <<Don’t Rain on My Parade>>. She figured a small sound bubble would be the best way to start.

@Rachel Barbra Berry Corcoran 🌟🦁: 1d7+1

Rachel attack Lauren + affinity advantage = (2)+1 = 3

t!8ball Can you show her my magic?

| My sources say no, Lauren.

@Lauren 13/13: 1d6 -1

Lauren counter against Rachel's attack = (2) -1 = 1

Lauren insist. "Why?" She wasn't going to let this one go. "Wich Cardines? Anyone in particular?" She knew half of the cardines of New York by name already for how many times she called. They also knew her by name. At first she was a little defensive about Rachel. Lauren knew a bit about her when she searched some information to vote. She knew Rachel had a main character story, and Lauren didn't like that. But she was a mere victim of internal misogyny that pit women against each other. They weren't rivals. Rachel was her to teach Lauren, as her own headcanon told her. Now, she could admit. "I never actually properly fought with my magic. Sometimes I had to fight, but..." She shrug. Probably her ways weren't the ways Rachel expected. Ghosts weren't reliable as her fists. Alyrical started singing, and the wave of sound hit Lauren. The noise give her a headache like no sound made by the living ever made her feel. "That hurts!" She complains. "Are you one of those strict abusive teachers that show their cruel methods were actually good in the end?" She deadpan asks. Then she tries to show her powers. She looks at the old man she can only see. "Can you show her my magic?" She asks, empowering the old man. He smiles, but he doesn't do anything else. The rascal probably planned to keep this energy to do whatever other thing he wanted to do. "He says no."

Rachel shook her head. "No, no, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to hurt you! I just thought you'd defend yourself. I'm sorry," she said. "Who says no?" she asked with a frown. "You said you're a medium. How does that work, exactly?" she asked.

Lauren noticed how Rachel tried to dodge the cardine question. "You're trying to dodge the cardine question. Do you work with them? Have you meet Cooper Anderson?" Lauren looked at her bag, trying to find some pills for headache pain. "Do you assume people can defend themselves of sound? Then sound pollution won't be a problem. Duh" She sees the octopus in the ground, poking her with its tentacles. "(Ask more clearly.)" The voice of Reneesme tells her. Another voice only she can hear. Lauren tries again. "I talk with the earthbound spirits. Can you show Rachel who you are and what you want?" She casts again, her magic circle pointing at the letters forming the question.

t!8ball Can you show Rachel who you are and what you want?

| Don't count on it, Lauren.

/r 1d6 -1 +1 #Attack to Rachel with +1 for familiar

@Lauren 13/13🐙2🎲+2:

1d6 -1 +1

Attack to Rachel with +1 for familiar = (1) -1 +1 = 1

Rachel frowned. “I... I don’t work with the Cardines. I’ve met Cooper a couple times in class, but that’s it. Why are you so interested?” She asked. “There are ways to defend yoursef from sound attacks, trust me. I can show you once I know what your powers are,” she told her. She watched as Lauren cast her spell and had her magic circle waiting to counterattack, should anything happen. She waited and watched, her head tilting when nothing happened. “Are the spirits supposed to materialize?” She asked.

Lauren knew Rachel was hiding something. Maybe something that would need to be revealed on later chapters of her life. But still, she was impatient. "You said you encountered the Cardines a lot. And that they aren't capable. Where did you met them? You never met Cooper working as one? We're just destinied to be together." She casually mentions. The dead was always bothering her, except when she actually wanted them to do something. "They don't materialize. They act. But they do whatever they want to do. It's like trying to tell children to listen." She looks at the old smiling man. "I don't need you. I can get better. But you can't." She says, taking her phone to record the sound around. She points at Rachel's feet, as his beloved would do."This place is haunted." She informs, and her magic circle shines. The spot where Rachel is cursed now, as it attracts spirits. She can see other spirits aproaching them. Most of them young adults, but the old man gets closer. They aproach where Rachel is. There are 5 of them now. She wouldn't be able to notice anything, but she won't feel safe there.

“Yes, well, a lot of weird stuff has happened in my three years at NYADA. The Cardines interfered. Like every time the doors attacked us, all the Saltus disasters. The Cardines have gotten involved every time. That’s all I meant,” Rachel told Lauren. She watched as Lauren cast her spell. She looked around, trying to see what would happen. All she could feel was an uneasy feeling encroach on her. It was like someone had poured cold water down her back, but so much worse. She activated her shield to try to protect herself. She knew it was the spirits, even if she couldn’t see them. The feeling she bad was still horrible. Hopefully the shield would help./r 1d7+1-1 #counterattack to Lauren

@Rachel Barbra Berry Corcoran 🌟🦁:

1d7+1-1

counterattack to Lauren = (5)+1-1 = 5

Lauren wonders why Rachel talks as she knows what she's talking about. Is just like when she talks with the spirits. Everyone of them is cryptic and is like they expect her to do all the work of understanding what they mean. She is not for it. "Are you always this non-explicative? Did Cooper got involved?" She didn't really care about anything else. "Now, Can anyone of you show this girl the proof of your existence?" She asks the ghosts.

@|Lauren 13/13🐙2🎲+2:

1d6 -1

= (2) -1 = 1

t!8ball Can anyone of you show this girl the proof of your existence?

| Don't count on it, Lauren.

“Yes, he was involved, I guess? Why are you so interested in Cooper?” Rachel asked, looking around her as the sense of unease grew. “We need to focus on our magic. Cooper and the Cardines don’t matter,” she said, clearing her throat. She was still maintaining her shield, but it was becoming difficult. She could feel herself trembling, goosebumps forming on her arms. She sent out a blast from her shield, hoping it would... stop the spirits? She didn’t even know what she was trying to do, she was just gripped with fear.

@Rachel Barbra Berry Corcoran 🌟🦁:

1d7+1-2

a real counterattack this time lol = (5)+1-2 = 4

Lauren is really dissapointed in everyone wasting her time asking question that can be solved glancing at her blog for one second. "I told you. We're fated to be together. You are witnessing a story of True Love." She slightly smiles for once. But her expressionless face quickly returns. "I don't care about our anything. I'm here for Cooper. And you are going to be my ally." She informs Rachel. She recieved another wave of noise and pain. "Agh. You still haven't told me how to defend myself of these things." She can't really hold out much longer. "Can anyone shut her up?" She casts, touching her forehead with one hand.

@|Lauren 13/13🐙2🎲+2:

1d6 -1

It can't fucking be another bad roll ok = (5) -1 = 4

t!8ball Can anyone shut her up?

| Yes, Lauren.

One of the ghosts puts her hand over Rachel's mouth, and firmly grasp it.Ooc. You cant see it but u can sense it!!

Rachel didn't even know what Lauren was talking about anymore. She could barely concentrate as the sense of dread grew to an almost unbearable level. And then she felt something grasp her mouth. She screamed—or at least tried to. She dropped her shield, unable to maintain it anymore. She stepped forward, trying to get away from the spirit. She flailed her arms at Lauren, hopefully communicating clearly that she wanted her to call off the spirit.

Lauren takes Reneesme to put it on the bag. "Finally they do something. She's saying she doesn't like the noise you make." She tells Rachel. "I don't control them. They're free spirits." But the power to affect the living should wear off on that girl what was shutting Rachel's mouth. Lauren magic worked on the tiny space, or in the old man, but the one acting didn't have the energy Lauren gave the spirits. Lauren liked her, and she talk with her later. Discover her name and her goals. "I'm done with this. We had our fight. Don't summon me. I'll summon you if I need you. If you want training, it will be you teaching me. I'm a first year and you are at your third. Bring hot people to the party. Bye." She says, leaving the place haunted. It will vanish someday. Or not. She'll move it away if she needs to.

Temporary Home Chapter 27 Gellis Meets Jamie

Jamie opens his door to a lady with chestnut colored hair pulled back in a french braid and startling green eyes.

"James Fraser? I am Gellis Duncan. Fergus' new case worker."

"Right. Claire told me you would be taken over. Come in." He opens his door wide inviting her in. Gellis is thinking his picture doesn't do him justice and, that if she was into guys, weel, she isn't and that is good. Since her best mate is head over feet for him. She can see why. "Fergus is in his room doing his homework. Should I call him?"

"Not just yet. I need to talk with you first. May we sit?"

"Aye, sorry. I am not usually such a clodheid. I just wasn't expecting you today."

"We do make unexpected visits. But, there is a reason for today's."

"Oh?"

"Let's do the routine stuff first." She knows as soon as she tells him that he will not be able to concentrate on nothing else. He nods and takes a seat across from her. "How is Fergus adjusting, any discipline problems?"

"He is doing very well. I did have to put him in a time-out a few days ago."

"Tell me about it."

"Weel he didn't wish to put his toys away and get ready for bed. I had given him a ten and then five minute warning as the parenting books recommend. But, when I told him it was time, he threw a fit. Threw himself down on the floor and rolled around in a full tantrum. I tried talking over his yelling. No go. So, I lifted him up and sat him on the chair designed for the time-out. I took his face and told him he was in a time-out for throwing a tantrum and that it would start when he was quiet."

"You knew to wait until then?" She is impressed.

"Aye, I read a.lot of parenting books. It took close to qn hour. He is a stubborn lad," said with a bit of pride," but he finally sat quiet for five minutes. I then told him that I loved him and explained again why he was placed there. Hugged him and brought him back to the toys that he picked up without farther issues. He then went to bed. The poor lad was asleep by the second page of the book." He chuckles remembering.

"Wow Mr Fraser, would you like to teach a parenting class on how to give an effective time-out." She is dead serious.

"Nae, I just did it how the books taught." He shrugs. Twas nae big deal.

"How is school?" She moves down the list.

"He is struggling some. They say he is behind in arithmetic and reading. He is a wiz in science. No issues with conduct. He has two good mates, Charlie and Ethan. We are working on helping him catch up, the teachers and I."

"Very good. I will get an official report from them. Bit, it sounds like you are on top of it."

"Aye. It is part of the responsibility of being a.parent, foster or otherwise."

"It is. But, a lot of our foster parents are less involved."

"That is a true shame."

"It is. Any signs of sexual abuse?"

"Nae. And I am carefully watching. Any info on his mam?"

Here goes. He is so good with him. She would like to clone him. And now she has to tell him this. She takes a deep breath. "Thst is actually why I am here."

"Ye have found her?"

"We've news of her and his possible father. We found a birth certificate." She pulls it out of Fergus' file where she has been taken notes. She hands it across to him. And he reacts just like Claire had. His face loses it's color and he looks over at her with his mouth hanging eide open.

"Is this for real?" He asks in a choked voice.

"It is. I understand that Jarod is your cousin?"

"Aye, I spent some time with him in Paris between upper school and uni. He is 15 years older then me."

"Do you know Leery?"

"Nae, though the last name is familiar. My own mam was a Mackenzie. But, there is a lot of Mackenzie's in Scotland. How sure are you that Jarod is Fergus' father?"

"That document is all we have, that and that he was here in 2013 when Fergus would have been conceived."

"Right but, his mam is a..I mean..his father could be anyone."

"We aren't accepting it as gospel. We will still be investigating. But, she had taught him french."

"Oui' but...I am not saying Jarod wouldn't have 'paid for company' but, I just don't know."

"Does Fergus' resemble him?"

"Nae!" Said instinctively by someone who didn't want it to be true. But.. " weel my cousin has dark curls. And eyes. But so does a lot of people. It doesn't mean.."

"No it doesn't. This is what is next. Since he is named on his birth certificate, we will be trying to get him here to take a DNA test.."

"If it..if he is his..?"

"If he is Fergus' father..Jamie our mandate is to keep families together."

"I am family if Jarod is!"

"I know. But if he is the father and is willing to step up and be thus."

"And if he is and isn't willing?"

"You are family and he is thriving here. We will not move him unless we have to." He let's out a breath.

"Do you need to see Fergus?"

"Aye just for a moment. I won't be telling him about this unless I must."

"Good. I will go get him." He starts to step out and the lad runs into him. "Oof," he says grabbing his arms. "Are ye to be running inside?"

"No da. I am sorry." He looks up at him with those huge dark eyes and a surge of love for him takes Jamie over. He crushes him to his chest holding him in a bear hug for a moment.

"It is okay a' leannen. There is someone who wants to see ye." He leads him into the living room. "Fergus, meet Miss Gellis Duncan. Miss Duncan, Fergus "

"Nice to meetcha'," Fergus puts his hand out as his da had taught him. Gellis shakes with a smile.

"Nice to meet you. You have veera nice manners."

"Thank you ma'am."

"Miss Duncan is yer new case worker."

"But, no Miss Claire is my case worker. Doesn't she like us anymore?"

"She likes us a lot. To much to keep being yer case worker. So she has her mate, Gellis doing it for her. But, she will still see us. I promise." Jamie holds him in his lap and the bairn immediately relaxes. Gellis smiles and notes this.

"I've just a couple questions Fergus and then yer da and you can get back to what you were doing."

"Okay."

"Do you like staying here with yer da?'"

"I love it. Even when he makes me eat my veggies. I do cause I want to grow up strong like him."

"Verra good. One more. How is school going?"

"I don't like the arth- metic. But da is helping me get caught up. Him and Miss Sara."

"What about reading?"

"I like to read. It just is sometimes hard to. But, da is helping. He writes books, ya know."

"I do. Verea impressive."

"Aye. He is teaching me the Ghaildhig too. Says it easier to learn when I am young."

"He is right. Thank you Fergus for talking with me."

"You're welcome. When will Miss Claire be back?"

"I bet you see her today."

"Cool. Da I finished my reading. Can I play a game?"

"Ye may. Thank you." He jumps off his lap and hurries to his room. "Claire ken's?"

"She does. She wanted to come with me but, that isn't her role now. I would imagine you will see her today. I am sorry Jamie. We will do all we can." She gets up and Jamie walks her to the door.

"Thank you." He watches until she makes it to her car before calling Claire.

The Apple (Sinclaire x MC)

Desire and Decorum Mr. Sinclaire x MC (Isabel Fairfield)

Word count: 1600

Rating: fluff - g

Tagging: @katurrade & @tinygooplandroad & @choices-september-challenge

I think this also will fall into the category for the September 5 Challenge of ‘Fight’ hosted by @i-dream-so-i-write

As we all know, I own nothing, I’m just borrowing Pixelberrys lovely characters for a few moments! 😊

Isabel Fairfield; the lady of Edgewater; was getting very tired. As a child growing up, the Gentry seemed like everything a young woman could want. Beautiful clothes, intriguing companions, the best of entertainment. That naive girl could not have been more wrong. She had nailed it on the head at the first dinner party of the London season, when she had followed Mr. Sinclaire outside. That he should not have been surprised by their turning his deceased wife into gossip. If only she had known just how right she was. She could have taken the opportunity to run. Oh no, not that she would have. No, Isabel was nothing if not a fighter. Currently the best way to fight the battle was with a sharp smile and an even sharper flip of her fan. The problem was, her weapons were becoming more difficult to wield without the sharpness becoming evident.

There were a few at these gatherings whom she truly did enjoy; Annabelle Parsons had become a very dear friend and confidante. She and Briar were the two whom she could truly speak her mind. Both knew her deepest secrets, wishes and concerns. Two she trusted with everything thst made her who she was. She had a developed a special fondness for both her stepbrother, Mr. Marlcaster as well as Miss Sutton. Edmund had been placed into a bad situation when Isabel had come to Edgewater. His mother had instantly hated her and expected he and his fiancée to do the same. Since she’d known him, she’d done nothing but attempt to be kind... and he’d started to actually talk to her. About Harry, about his concerns about Edgewater and how it made the insecurities he already had worse— that if it weren’t for his mother, he would be happy to let her have it.

In point of fact, she was, at this particular dinner party, chatting cordially with him. Edmund had started out very bland with her, but actually had a surprising wit when he was allowed (or chose) to show it. It had been a very pleasant surprise. “Your dearest friend, Miss Holloway is glaring daggers at you.”

Isabel smirked, as she settled her fan on her lap, “You mean that isn’t how she treats everyone? I must be special in some way.”

Mr. Marlcaster returned her look with a half smile of his own, “I’ve only ever seen her treat *you* that way, but then, never have I seen anyone catch Mr. Sinclaire’s attention as you have.”

Unintentionally, Isabel’s eyes swept the room at his name; silently seeking him out in the cluster of people. Unsurprisingly, he was in the group the Viscount Westonly was a part of— what was surprising was that instead of listening to the nobles story, his gaze was on her. She supposed Miss Holloway’s glare was slightly more understandable now. She felt her cheeks heat as she gave him a small closed lip smile. He had the propensity to make her feel like the girl she was before. Bashful, flustered, beautiful. The things a man should be able to conjure within a woman. The small smile grew to a smirk as her attention came back to the fan perched on her lap. She lifted it, opening it half way, over her face, indicating ‘we are being watched over.’ She looked toward Miss Holloway who was now, watching him. Nodding once, he returned his attention to whatever it was the Viscount had been saying.

“It appears he has garnered yours as well.” Edmund mused, chuckling low in his throat when her attention snapped back to him guiltily. “Mr. Sinclaire has always been a polite, quiet man, Isabel, but I have never seen him show the same regard for someone as I have for you... I was present when he courted Lady Adelia. Even then.”

Her thoughts turned hopeful, as while he hadn’t made his intentions clear, Isabel had grown very fond of the seemingly grumpy man. He had shown her kindness and a self depreciating sense of humor and a thirst for doing what he felt was right. He had defended her, befriended her. Maybe one day...

Her pleasant thought was cut off by Miss Holloway laughing loudly, saying, “By all means, I would never say a bad word about her, but her mother was an clearly unscrupulous tart. One must simply pity her for growing and being raised in that way. Though, I will presume the apple is unlikely to grow far from the tree.” Her voice carried over the low music. Over the din of voices conversing around them. Everything stopped for a long moment.

Isabel’s eyebrows had arched, her lips pulled into an unpleasant line, her teeth locked. Edmund, directly in front of her looked concerned. “Isabel—“ he started as she stood, turning on her heel, her left hand curled into a fist. Their snide insinuations, she could handle. An outright insult to her departed mother was entirely too much. The woman had followed her heart. Followed love. Given up everything for her father— for her. To have that sacrifice treated as an insult... she could not.

In that moment, everything was hazed in red, until someone stepped in front of her. A hand at the base of her back, the other on one elbow, “Lady Isabel, a moment?” She faltered a moment. Stopped. Had to think a moment because she wanted nothing more than to lash out at someone. *He* didn’t deserve it.

Her voice was rough when she finally got out, “Pardon me a moment, it feels a bit warm in here.” She turned almost on her heel as she strode to the door. She over heard a height tittering giggle, from Miss Holloway.

She had pulled the door shut behind her, having only thought to get away; but she believed she heard someone starting to say, “How dare you?”

On the balcony, the put her hands on the railing, wrapping her hands around until her fingernails bit into her palms. The door closed a second time. She was taking deliberately slow deep breaths, unconvinced she would be able to say anything civil, let alone kind. Two more deep breaths, then, “I don’t know how much longer I can do this.” She said softly.

“You are doing a fine job, Lady Isabel. Pay no mind to what the likes of Miss Holloway says.”

“Says the man who also gets angry when the dead are brought up.”

“That is... That is a well made point. You have shown me though; fight them with your actions, Isabel, not with violence or words. You are wiser than you should be allowed at your age. Don’t let her twist you into someone that you are not. You’ve brought about change. Those like her are afraid of it.”

“Stop it.” She replied shortly, “I know my worth to those people. Three months before now and none of them would have looked twice at me, much less given me the time of day. Yourself included.”

“That’s possibly true of them. I cannot say the same for myself, I nearly stopped in Grovershire that first day. You were lovely; and I was quite smitten even then. You are changing us. It was your stepbrother who stood for you in there. Do you believe he would have dared if you hadn’t fought for his friendship? His respect? This seems unlike you.”

She frowned, but her shoulders relaxed a little. “I can’t stand it when they talk that way about her. She always did her best by me. She tried *so* hard, Ernest.”

“If she was half the fighter you are, I imagine she was a force to be reckoned with.” He paused, “I believe that is the first time you’ve called me by my given name.” One of her hands went to her mouth in shock, “Finally.” He stepped closer to her, and cautiously pressed a gentle chaste kiss to her forehead, but let his lips rest there a moment as he murmured, “You have done fine here. Please don’t give up. I—um— we— could t bear it if you left.”

She sighed, nodding once as he backed away, “You’re right. I can do this. You’ll help me?”

“Always.”

“Alright, so first... which of us gets to be the one tell her the turn of phrase is ‘the apple doesn’t *fall* far from the tree?’”

Keith Stanovich is one of my favorite academics. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Everything that I've gotten out of this whole "rational mind" hobby, I would have gotten quicker and cleaner by simply reading his works. So his most recent book went on my list the moment it was published. It took me two years to carve out quality time to read it but here I am now and it was worth taking the time.

In "Rationality and the Reflective Mind", Stanovich expands upon the popular System 1/System 2 model of mind that might be familiar to some of you from Kahneman's book. The popular model is bipartite, it splits mental processes into those quick judgements made in a heuristic manner and those more deliberate, calculated judgements thst we tend to associate more closely with our sense of agency. There is more to it, of course, but thst should suffice for broad strokes.

Those who haven't read Kahmeman may think you've got a vague idea of where we're going from that clumsy description. Perhaps toward some ego/id style divide and I want to take a moment to be sure we're really all together. Historically, there are three types of rationality debates by way of bipartite division of the mind.

- the cluster that roughly maps to human/animal, thinking/unthinking, rational/arational

- the cluster that maps to rational/irrational, model accepting/model rejecting

- the cluster that maps to inefficient/efficient processing

System 1/System 2 buckets most neatly in that last category. This book regards the first as answering the wrong question, the second as a good start, and in my mind targets a combination of the second and the third.

Stanovich proposes a tripartite model of mind. These three parts are not meant to be exhaustive but they are distinct.

The first part of mind is the System 1 of prior literature. For those like me who are annoyed with that name and its lack of prompting markers, Stanovich has created a new term for this cluster, "The Autonomous Set of Systems" (TASS). This strikes me as the correct distinguishing term for this system as its elements are exactly those mental processes that trigger on their own. At best we can suppress them or activate them on command but we do not get them to *not* activate when they receive their environmental cue. Items in this category share certain traits. They are cheap, rapid, parallel, online, associative, heuristic, and reflexive. Examples include threat assessment, emotion, and our social reasoning. These processes are crafted to take an environment and quickly generate a judgement from it. As such, they are vulnerable to malign environments and one of the reasons they have fallen from favor (the folk archetype of the wise farmer) is increasingly we see social contexts designed to exploit them.

Not everything in this part of mind is evolutionary or genetic in origin. Much of it is trained/trainable. Some of it is memetically induced.

The second and third parts form strict subsets of System 2.

Part two is the algorithmic cluster. This encompasses offline reasoning and symbolic logic and receives outsized attention in our current culture. When explicit math is involved, it is in this part of mind. The processes here are slow in functioning but easily captured as logos, making them both amenable to recording/communicating and deterministic replication. Invoking these processes takes a measure of concentration and can feel as if it is taking place externally.

The last part Stanovich calls the reflective system. It performs belief regulation, simulation, and (most importantly) overrides TASS on demand. I suppose daydreaming belongs here and those moments where you go "that doesn't sound right". It's a truth seeking part of mind. Like the algorithmic, it is slow and deliberate in comparison to TASS. This part of mind deserves more attention because, as you see:

Rationality, as commonly defined, is not seated in the algorithmic part of the mind but in the reflective portion. Rationality is about adaption to the present environment and not about abstract first principles. Consider the lemma of the cognitive miser - we are as stupid as our environment allows. This does not mean we are stupid at our peak performance but in the average case, humans don't engage their critical thinking unless something in their environment feels out of place or threatening or unpredictable. The better your epistemic rationality, the less time you spend unprotected by your critical thinking.

A brief taxonomy of problems that arise in the pursuit of rational action:

- default to TASS, reflective mind is never alerted and no override is issued (where we spend most our time)

- shallow validation of TASS (e.g. eyes passing over a code bug every time despite it being obvious once pointed out)

- override failure, possible causes are being tired, hungry, powerfully emotional, and self-control issues

- the "mindware gap", the lack of certain rational models. This cluster can be trained and is the focus of most of those looking to improve their epistemic rationality. Some techniques include:

1) knowledge of probability

2) importance of generating alternate hypotheses, challenging received ideas promptly

3) causal/scientific reasoning

4) actual problem-domain specific knowledge

- "contaminated mindware", maladaptive reasoning. Could be an unexamined folk belief or psychological issue.

Improvement in performance in any of these categories will improve your rationality writ large. Part of the "post rationalist" schism was propelled by a recognition that some of these categories were underserved in the original, narrower subculture.

The money right now is in reforming the intelligence test market. The spirit of the time is turning against the old model and it's ripe for a new paradigm. Stanovich's research is marketed under this spirit of reform.

Essentially, IQ tests are poor measures of rationality. By design, they attempt to remove all ambiguity from the questions in order to better isolate the calculating abilities of the algorithmic mind. In doing so, they completely neglect the reflective mind. By contrast, a test of rationality would incorporate high levels of ambiguity and categorize the respondent's thinking style based on how they resolved that ambiguity. IQ tests are already starting to adjust to new ideas, for exanple, distinguishing fluid from crystal intelligence (stateless/procedural from precomputation/studied knowledge).

No conceptual barrier exists to creating a test for rationality and indeed one could start by scraping the existing research literature on bias. Personally, I expect that we'll see a few such tests popularized in the next half-decade.

"Rationality and the Reflective Mind" is fascinating and I do recommend it. Spend four to five hours on it and focus on the first few chapters where Stanovich lays out the tripartite theory. It does not feel perfect but it does strike me as a better model than any other I've been offered.

Personal Errata:

- Consider meditation as offering perceptual access to the workings of TASS and as such, opening up the possibility of a more efficient override mechanism.

- The great rationality debate has many participants arguing. Take a step back from the front lines and look at some of the areas where people are not actively disagreeing.

- Stanovich speculates that reflective mind was originally an offshoot of the theory of mind module required to navigate the complexities of social life. Were this true, one technique we could expect to increase the belief coherence of our responses is to recast abstract problems in social terms and leverage the insights generated by that framing.
