I read your most recent post and am deeply sorry for this ask..

Could you maybe write chishiya x reader fluff? Like it's cuddles and words stuff like that?

"scoot over."

show: alice in borderland

character: chishiya shuntaro

summary: after a hard game, you decide to unwind. the hatter throws another party, but chishiya is only interested in finding out why you weren't attending.

warnings: g/n! reader, they/them pronouns used, second person pov

a/n: no amount of apologies could atone to your mistake. (im joking, thank you for the request, i hope you enjoy!!)

"well done." you hear your assigned partner for the last game, ann, say to you. she pats your back gently, fixing her sunglasses on her nose. "only a handful of cards left now."

you sigh out, craning your neck to relieve some tension, "thanks, ann. you too, you were great. i just can't wait to leave this place..."

she didn't know whether you speaking about the borderlands or the beach. the place was always loud and cheerful, and while that was a nice change in pace for the world they were in, sometimes somebody just needed some good peace and quiet.

but ann only removes her hand from your back, walking off towards her room. "i understand. get some rest."

a silent 'thank you' is said as you walk pass the atrium, looking down the hallway to see the crowds of people and hatter presenting the card you had just won and returned. everyone cheered, music starting up again as hatter claims another party is to be thrown.

to the beach! grab your towels and find some booze! it's time to celebrate another win!

you see the other executives standing behind him, nodding their heads and following to the party. but instead of joining, you rub your face and stifle a yawn. your room was further from the pools, so you could have some quiet.

sweat dripped down your back and you pull the collar of your summer shirt, trying to blow some cold air down your chest. why did the game have to be held in an open field, with no shade, while it was scorching hot. it's a wonder how ann managed to look so put together in such heat.

reaching your room was a safe haven, and you closed your door to flop onto your bed with ease. the promptly grabbed the remote and turned on the air conditioning, sighing dreamily at how the cold air hit your hot skin. it was almost too good to be true, how the electricity was still on. they hadn't checked on the generator in a while.

it isn't long until you hear the faint laughter and music coming from the party. it was a normal occurrence at this point, and you were glad that not many people partied inside the hotel. it gave you time to close your eyes and get into a comfortable position to sleep in.

there's a whisper of knocks at your door.

"who is it?" you groan, wiping your eyes.

the person replies, "astroboy."

you sit up, running fingers through your hair as you retort, "come in." chishiya marches through the door, closing it behind him. he crosses his arms over his chest as he studies you. "what do you need?"

"i just came by to congratulate the winner of the last game." he states, watching you crawl back under the first thin layer of blanket on your double bed, "the eight of clubs. always knew you were the trusting type."

with your back to him, you talk, "i trust you, don't i? that's risky enough."

"ann told us that you were the leader in that game. i'm impressed." chishiya compliments, coming closer and picking up the small teddy keychain on your beside table. you had found a ball machine and a broken one, so using the coins from that, you won yourself a blue teddy keychain. chishiya told you to just get them all, but you said one was enough. "i thought you would be down there celebrating with everyone else."

you shake your head, yawning, "i'm too tired to go out there. i'm staying in my room for the night to sleep."

"oh, is that so?" he hums, putting the keychain down, "i'm the same. i can't be bothered watching them out there in this weather. it's agonising."

you nod your head in agreement, laying on your back. chishiya was always a nice guy that you were close with. he was sarcastically smart and sometimes got on your nerves. he was lucky you were so fond of him, he would've been kicked out of here if it weren't for that.

"wanna' stay?" you ask, looking to the ceiling.

"with you?" he mumbles.

"no, we'll do a room swap—yes with me, idiot." you grumble out, turning around again.

chishiya grins at your tone before muttering, "scoot over."

you do so. it's silent for two seconds before he does lay beside you. you can feel the heat radiating off him, so close that chishiya could see the hair blowing in your face from the air conditioning.

"what's wrong?" he asks, looking to the back of your head. you reply that 'it's nothing', but chishiya isn't buying it. "you usually at least stop by at every one of these parties. common courtesy for you. are you that tired?"

you don't say anything to him at first, but then, you turn around and lock eyes with the blonde. chishiya is on his back, he sees how you knit your brows in irritation.

"do you miss home?" you question, playing with the blanket, "our real home?"

"of course, who doesn't? these games dwindle our numbers and we don't even know why we're here." chishiya states, looking unbothered by what he said, "it's a fascinating world, though."

"it's a prison." you mumble into the blanket. your knee nudges his thigh, and chishiya lays a hand on the pillow, in between the both of you. staring at his fingers, you reach out and put your palm over his, gently. "i miss home."

"what was your home like?" he questions, eyed tracing your every breath.

"it was quieter than here. i used to cook with the tv going on in the background so it didn't sound like i was alone and that somebody was in the other room watching." you claimed, closing your eyes for a second, "but it was also really nice being by myself. my friends used to take me out all the time because i was a 'homebody'. all i had was work and home."

chishiya chuckles, brushing fingers over your knuckles, "that was just like me. i only had my work. and i worked at the hospital more than i spent time at home. my apartment was a good walk away, so i saw no point, y'know?"

you let out a hum, staring at your hands, "if we lived together, we'd barely see each other."

he smiles softly, nodding once. "i guess you're right."

"but it's still nice living by yourself. cooking for one, cleaning for one." you comment, suddenly missing your bedroom and your living room and kitchen. all that you were surrounded by before. "i've never spent a whole lot on groceries either, only as much as i needed. you don't need to do more than yourself. and there's nobody else to worry about..."

you were so tired. you missed being able to sleep in and not having to go to bed early because you had a death-defying game to play the next day. you missed not having to think about your life to intricately. you missed your actual life.

"you wouldn't have to worry about me." chishiya says, and your eyes open to see the blonde looking back at you with certainty. his hand clutches yours warmly. "i wouldn't make you worry."

"you promise?" you ask quietly, knitting your brows.

"if you want me to." he tells you. your brows upturn. "i promise."

chishiya was the most normal thing about your life right now. someone who just likes to see you around every now and again. more often than he'd like to admit. but he was so warm and considerate.

a swift movement of yours has arms around chishiya's neck, hugging him close to your chest as your bury your face into his hair. he lets out a small huff at the action before hands rest on your hips, snaking to around your waist. the blanket nearly covers all of chishiya, and he feels your hot skin shiver twice before calming down. he rubs your back gently as your shoulders relax.

"when we get back, you'll find me?" you ask, hopeful.

he can hear your heartbeat grow faster. "you will." he responds.

"tell me about your life?" you request.

he hums, leaning back and facing the ceiling again. you scoot closer, keeping an arm stretched across his chest and laying your head on his shoulder. "med student. i work with patients requiring transplants and people on waiting lists, but i'm an all round." he explains, "my apartment is of decent size. i have a spare bedroom that i keep all extra storage in. my study is filled. i have to say, it is nice living alone."

you nod your head, and chishiya goes on, "i usually get breakfast on the way to work; just one sugar and a quarter milk, or sometimes i just get black coffee with two sugars." he can tell you're only half listening, from the way you're playing with the strings of his jacket. but he doesn't mind. "on my breaks, i go to this takeout place across from the hospital. they sell my favourite meat buns, i always buy at least two."

he taps your back, twice you note. and you look up at him. "when we get out of here, remind me to show you." he says, "it can be our spot."

you stare at him for a while before nodding slowly. "yeah... okay."

he leans down to press a kiss to the crown of your head, muttering back with she unknown knowledge, "you'll come find me one way or another."

RAHHH APHELIOS FANS RISE 🦅🦅🦅🦅

i need… I need him to whimper during sex… idk how… idk when… but I know he whimpers I can just feel it… do with this as u please

❥ prompt: He made a mistake. A terrible, terrible mistake. Aphelios thought since you were such a cute shorty, the bedroom would be his domain. How did he end up being bottom, pinned, with you on top!? ❥ content/warnings: nswf 18+, cute!softdom!reader, teasing, light-bondage ❥ characters/pairings: Heartsteel!aphelios / f!smol!reader (minor implied poly!sett/phel/reader)

He met you on the bustling train. Jammed packed after rush hour. An uncomfortable place to be. With no seats available, he took the reigns over head. Another stop. Another wave of bodily masses rushing in. It sent you colliding against him. He dropped his phone in the process. He wasn't too happy about that. It was too cramped for him to reach down and get it.

"I-I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry," you apologized. With your short stature, you were able to crouch and retrieve the phone. Why was he paying so much attention to your petite hands?

Nevermind. There weren't any cracks on the phone screen. That was good. He merely nodded as thanks. With each bump and sway of the tram, there you went. Like a marble in a pinball machine. With much effort on your tiptoes, he watched as you tried to reach for a free reign, but it was a long shot. It was cute...maybe in a slightly pathetic way.

Aphelios sighed. It was only a matter of time before you were underfoot of some sweaty salaryman. Time for his good deed of the day. He slipped his phone inside his pocket and encouraged you to hold onto him. Stumbling a bit, you took the invitation. You grabbed onto his shirt with both hands. Slowly, you rolled your head up. He made the mistake of looking down.

He hated to admit it, but you were too cute beyond words. The top of your head barely made it to his collarbone. Your eyes were big, soft---absolutely soul sucking. If he was back in 5th grade, to keep himself from admitting he liked them, he'd draw an insect with huge bug-eyes and point it at you.

He forced his sight elsewhere. Your work bag. Attached to one of the zippers was a handful of plushie keychains. He recognized them to be from the same crane game arcade him and Sett went to often. He was a master at those technical grabs. You were probably some casual player. Maybe you had some other guy win them for you. Probably had to spend more than he bargained for. Unimpressive. (This boy is trying real hard not to like you.)

Well, he was wrong about that. You were a professional crane game player. And managed your own business of shipping those adorable plushies overseas to customers. You even had a pretty popular stream going on Twitch showing you doing it all. (Alright, he caved).

When you two started dating, your collection of plushies rivaled Sett's anyday. When his own bed started matching his roommate's, he wasn't sure whether he should be concerned. Again, he gave up. You enjoyed gifting him plushies specifically won for him. And he enjoyed seeing you happy on his bed.

・❥・

"You're so cute like this, Phelly~"

Ah. That was it, huh? You fooled him. Utterly and completely. It should've been the other way around. With him on top, you blushing pink, and shyly asking for him to take you.

But here he was, pinned naked underneath you, mask off, and his chin tossed away. Hating how flushed his own cheeks felt. Hating how his whole body felt like it was melting from your touch. Hating that just on the other side of the room, Sett was fast sleep, back turned. For now, at least.

"Hmm? Wonder how quiet Pelly can really be," you whispered cutely, sadistically. "You wouldn't want us to be caught. Unless...you want to?"

Aphelios swallowed for a breath. Seriously. How did it end up like this? He was the one who initiated. Trying to impress you by getting out of his comfort zone and doing it while his roommate was sleeping. But this was beyond the scope of how he thought this whole thing would play out. He made a mistake. A terrible, terrible mistake.

It was made more apparent when you grabbed the long ears of a rabbit plushie, and tied his wrists securely above his head. Oh no. How did he not notice? His demise was planned from the very beginning. All these plushie's were here to lower his guard. Thinking he was safe. Thinking he had any control of the bedroom in the first place. No, these weren't just stuffed animals—these were your diabolical sex minions. And they served the most cute cruel mistress.

"I won't let you cover your mouth. No matter what. So you gotta be extra good tonight. Okay?" You positioned his tip already glistening with precum to your entrance. His breath hitched. Not a good start. You giggled softly, "I don't think Phelly's going to be good at all. Oh, well~"

You pushed your hips down slowly. Spreading around his shaft till you sat deliciously full. Oh, shit—Aphelios clenched his eyes tight. His hands fisting together till his knuckles turned white. He bit down hard on his bottom lip. He refused to let you milk any noises from him.

Suppressing your own moans, you leaned down, pressing your breasts against his chest. "So cute how quiet you're trying to be. But for how much longer, hm?"

You claimed his mouth, sucking and pulling on his lips. Sliding your tongue into his mouth, you worked yourself on his cock. Covering him with your warm fluids. His pelvis now slick and sticky between your thighs. He heavy panted between your kisses, his breaths shuddering.

At this point, he was getting closer to his edge. Not sure exactly how he'd been able to hold back for this long. He couldn't think of anything but how good your insides felt. So hot and tight.

You slipped off his head phones, abandoned his mouth, and sucked on his earlobe. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Your warm breaths and cute moans against his ear sent him spirling. He couldn't hold back anymore. He whimpered, he whined, whatever—he didn't care anymore. He just wanted to come inside you. No, that was wrong. It wasn't a want anymore. It was an unbearable need.

He bucked his hips, slapping against you over and over again. Now you both were whining and whimpering. You jolted, your walls clamping tighter, and tighter. Feeling you swell and come around him so hard, Apehlios thought he saw stars. His cock throbbed and pulsed. He muffled his fluttering cries between your shoulder and neck, pumping deeper, filling you completely up. Coming down from the high, relieved pants filled the finished after silence.

"Geez. Can't a guy get some quality sleep over here?" Sett groaned out loud, turning over. Aphelios almost launched you off the bed when he scrambled to untie himself and cover you both up. "Pfft. Chill out. Nothing I haven't seen or done before," Sett said, rolling back to face the wall. "You guys owe me. I'm keeping you both up tomorrow."

You giggled and rubbed your cheek against his arm. Aphelios groaned. Of course things had to turn out this way.

an: listen listen, yall aphelios degens i just wanna say.... *smooches* thanks for the req. anon.

I honestly think that there are so many interesting songs that fit the life series characters so well, so I’m going to talk about them here and explain why I associate them with these songs!

Bdubs - Never love an anchor by the crane wives

"With this heart of mine that's guilty, not remorseful" | It's guilty because Bdubs feels bad, he feels bad he couldn't achieve what he should. He feels bad that he killed Impulse in third life, betrayed him, and even then it got him nothing. He's guilty because he knows the harm he's caused

"There is love that doesn't have a place to rest, but it would burry you if it had settled on your shoulders" | I notice that Bdubs has a lot of trust and faith in his companies, something about this brings back the 'He loves me' scene from last life back. Bdubs loves a lot more than people seem to think he does, so he must hold it back in case of that love being used against him

"I am selfish, I am broken, I am cruel" | Maybe things that Bdubs wants to be, for the sake of letting go and letting himself detach from these people so losing them doesn't hurt as much. Letting other people label him as such

BigB - Know How by the Crane wives

"I am not brave; I keep my focus on what is safe," | I think this is fitting to BigB even if it's not necessarily true; I think from his perspective how he feels, ignoring how he is actually very brave. But at the same time he does keep his focus on what is safe, there's a reason why he always makes it to the final or session before the final.

"Just because I know what I'm supposed to do now, doesn't mean I know how" (Edited line to be shorter) | I'm not sure how to explain this but I do think it really fits him, he knows all the things he's meant to do, to survive, for example killing with the boogeymancurse, but he dragged it out till the very very end before he killed Cleo in last life, because he didn't know how he was supposed to do it.

Etho - I don’t know anyone I am by Salvia Palth

"I don't know anyone, I am in relation to anyone I guess" | Etho has always been seen as a loner throughout all seasons, he doesn't very much get the time to make meaningful bonds or understand his teammates. It makes sense he would struggle to see himself as more than just a survivor as well, he hasn't given himself the time to focus on anything else.

Scar - Icicles by The Scary Jokes

"Their shallow observations will only stall the transformation" | This is very secret life scar to me, maybe something something the watchers talking to him, everyone forcing the title of villain onto him, yet the watchers see him as a gift to them, as a victor and they're trying to make sure Scar keeps doing what he has been and not back out because they're calling him 'villain'

"But I admit it would be easier, To be relieved of all this shame and not have to wear it on my sleeve." | This fits Scar's feelings on the matter, not wanting to go forward, not wanting to be shamed and outcast by the rest of the lifers.

"I can only be forgiven if I'm giving myself up to you" | Secret life in general but also back in 3rd life, Scar believing he can only make up for killing Grian at the end by having Grian kill him, something something 'slay me and take the enchanter'

"My world has turned so cold, but I won't cry, 'cause icicles don't soften when they die so why should I" | Despite Scar being constantly alone, he stayed strong he never 'softened' or cried he also became cold which is why he won.

Grian - Bird Song by Florence + The Machine

"And he sang about what I'd become" | How Grian had slowly lost his mind in third life as well as all the other games, how Grian had became someone obsessed with getting kills, going out of his way to trick and trap people and find loopholes to kill

"I picked up the bird and above the den I said 'That's the last song you'll ever sing" | Grian doesn't want to think that he might be a bad person, or he might be going crazy, so he has to silence anyone saying otherwise, anyone that might prove a danger to him. Maybe because he can't let the watchers get word that he's exactly who they say he his. Maybe even so this is relating to the theory that he might have been the one to curse Jimmy.

Impulse - A Mask of My Own Face by Nature Tapes

Okay now hear me out on this one, Impulse is constantly in and out of alliances especially in third life, lying to everyone to gain vantage.

"And none of them would know that I am secretly myself" | Because they trust that Impulse is putting on a facade all the time, but maybe what they are missing is that the facade is what he considers to be him. Or at the very least keeps him safer

"I'd blame it on the person that nobody knows I am" | Something about him always being like 'Oh I did this so they'd trust me more I'm still on your side I promise' Or 'I did this for the task!' When he could have absolutely targeted anyone else.

Martyn - Metaphors by The Crane wives

"I've gotten good at living on someone elses page" | It's the way Martyn is always deceiving and always planning to betray, living on someone else's page, being content and loyal until he has the chance not to be.

"You can't trust a single thing I say" | Idk something about him talking about how he was planning to betray Ren in third life.

"Don't look too hard cause you won't like the scars he left in me" | THIS BEING SO TREEBARK LISTEN TO ME. HE GAVE UP SO MUCH TO REN THERE ARE SO MANY SCARS CAUSED BY FOLLOWING THE ORDERS TO KILL SOMEONE YOU LOVE

Lizzie - The Crooked the Cradle by The crane wives

"There's blood in the water" | Thinking about Lizzie showing up in limited life to play Pearl and the first thing she was tasked with is killing. Like she showed up and instantly was given the title of boogeyman, a gimmick that was only there in the one other season she was in, a sense of familiarity and a sense of dread.

"The quiet are restless the silent are still" | When there is peace on the server and it is quiet there are people waiting to kill. When it is silent it is because all is dead. And Lizzie knows that well being quick to die each time, she is the silent, especially when she fell into the void, she died alone and in scilence.

"If Mercy's abound I'll be safe I'll be sound, and the devil won't know of the love I just couldn't let go" | Something about Joel being the cause of her death In Secret life... loved him so much she went down for him, she couldn't let it go and it got her killed.

"Can anyone hear me?" | Her in the void not being able to be heard....

Mumbo - Saint Bernard by Lincoln

"To remind me that I am a fool" | I am very strongly of the headcanon that Mumbo is also a watcher, something something he needs to remind himself that he is fooling himself into thinking he could fit in with the world of the watchers or the world of the players

"When I am dead I won't join their ranks because they are both holy and free" | And Mumbo's not, Mumbo doesn't get to go where they go, he still has more to do, more to make up for. Still instructions left to follow

"There's really just one thing that we have in common, neither of us will be missed" This is so Mumbo talking to Grian coded for me

Pearl - Here I am by the Crane wives

"How long have I been here all alone" Double life Pearl in her tower....

"Settled in, had a plan but I never factored in, Everyone else saying goodbye" | Basically also double life Pearl she had a plan with Martyn go to the nether get stuff come back find her soulbound, and then they all left her.

"This ghost town is making a ghost of me" | Everyone dying around her, and being alone like this without chance of redemption slowly killing her.

"I promised myself I'd learn to be the one who leaves" | Throughout the next games, like secret life, she'd be the one who leaves instead of gets left behind, but she didn't seeing how she was always last one alive out of her teammates

Skizz - Wrecking ball by mother mother

"I made a fist and not a plan" | Skizz is usually quite reckless and goes action first plan second.

"You gotta see the artistry In tearing the place apart with me, baby" | This but more in the ironic sense, because Skizz while he wants to reign chaos he is also fiercely loyal and kind to his allies, so tearing the place apart with me, is important. He doesn't just want to cause chaos he wants connections

Scott - Icarus

"Climb ye higher and higher and higher 'Til you're far away and breathing cleaner air" | Scott winning last life, climbing higher and higher through the ranks until he breaks through the clouds into what he had hoped was cleaner air spoiler alert it’s not.

"Who have you become in the wake of all that's happened here?" | What’s happened to you, what happened in last life that changed you, what made you so cold and bitter and so quick to assume the worst when double life came

"Spreading out the ashes of a love That only gave and gave" | Either this as flower husbands, being the ashes of a love that only gave to others, or specifically Scott’s love, that only gave and gave to the one whom he loved

"There's no room for all the hearts who will not stay" | For the people who will not stay with him, the watchers pressuring him to do better and leave the, behind. He won’t though.

Joel - The Wolf by the crane wives

"I will join the wolf at my door Breathing out storms when she comes around" | Well yes we know Joel is a dog boy clearly, but also how he is oh so aggressive to everyone he meets, ferocious and knocking things down.

"I am always burning, burning, burning" | Burning with rage? Burning things down? So many emotions they're lighting up his world so much that it blinds him from seeing anything else

Jimmy - Hollow Moon By the crane wives

"In the darkness, Slowly crawling over my skin, Whispers at the door, "let us in, let us in" | Whispers of the watchers, or maybe his curse, something knocking to let death in.

"I won't be sleeping, There's too many monsters in the backyard" | Okay yes funny because of Minecraft mechanics. But also, idk something about Jimmy not being able to see the watchers but still feeling their presence.

(I'm giving Jimmy an extra song because he's special)

Strawberry blond by Mitski

"I love everybody because I love you When you stood up, walked away barefoot And the grass where you lay left a bed in your shape I looked over it and I ached" | YES I AM BACK ON MY FLOWER HUSBANDS BULLSHIT! Trust me so much they're so insanely in love, they love the world because they love each other, their relationship is so sweet and soft.

"All I need, darlin', is a life in your shape I picture it, soft, and I ache" | because all they ever needed was each other, not the death not the violence, just to be in love

Tango - Monster by Dodie

"I'm guessing that I've grown horns I guess I'm human no more I can tell I've rotted in your brain" | Tango's anger and wondering if those reactions made others see less in him. Make him a monster

"You think I'm a crazy bitch I craft my words to fit your head 'Cause no one listens to the dead" | Idk... something about this and Tango, he always dies relatively early too, maybe it's only death that'll comfort him

Cleo - The Garden by The Crane Wives

"My stone, My shield, my steady hand, Hold your light To the darkness in my head" | Something about this being about how Scott has been her friend and ally throughout all seasons

"Give me something pretty to wear beneath my blood-stained clothes" | I CAN'T EXPLAIN IT BUT THIS IS LIMITED LIFE CLETHO, DOES ANYONE HEAR ME PLEASE TRUST

"My darling, the devil knows my name" | Cleo makes a name known for herself by fighting, making a point with their sword

"Get on your knees and, Dig up the garden, Won't you throw down that spade and, Dig up the garden, darling?" | Something something a wife talking to her husband

Ren - Arms Tonite by Mother Mother

"I died in your arms tonight" | Martyn killing Ren in 3rd life....

"I lost sight in your arms tonight, it was nice" | Lost sight of the goal so obsessed with his kingdom and the Red army

"I cry hard because I have died, and you're alive" | Martyn out living him (Not by very long) In third life

Gem - The Well by the Crane Wives

"All the words I couldn't say to you Fill up the spaces in my chest" | This being Shiny Duo and Gem and pearl being on different sides unsure of how to stay together

"Send me anywhere, take me out I'm the well they're gonna drag you down" | Gem knowing she's only going to be used as a catalyst to hurt others despite her wants

"That old house, those rotting memories Burned easier than I'd have thought" | Those short memories of limited life being replaced by the nicer memories of at least the first half of secret life

And I am done yapping, mayhaps I will do more someday

Can I please request idia +”🕹️🧸” basically him getting you the plushie that you wanted in that grab thing(idk what’s it call😭”

yes you can!!! :D (they're called claw machines and i remember playing them as a kid,.,.., the only prize i won from one wasn't even FROM THE MACHINE it was a blue tiger that someone threw on the ground next to it and when i asked an employee who it belonged to they were like "uhh you can have it" LMAO)

IDIA SHROUD + 🕹️🧸 (1k event details)

~~~~~

That plushie reminds him of you.

Idia has been side-eying the claw machine the entire night, wanting so badly to try it out. He keeps being interrupted by the social butterflies of NRC and there’s no way he could perform at his best while they’re watching. They’d talk too loud and you’d be there and you’re too distracting-

He excuses himself and pretends as though he’s going to the bathroom, only to pull his hoodie tighter around him and sneak off to the claw machine. He’s aware that these machines are normally rigged but he’ll do it over and over again if it’ll get him that plushie.

He wants it for you.

Idia plays the game six times. He counts every failure but preserves, figuring he has to hit pity at some point.

And hit pity he does.

Just as the stuffed animal drops from the crane to the little prize slot, Idia squeals in delight. He takes it and feels the softness of the fabric, and he just knows you’ll love it.

“Idia?” you call out to him, and he squeaks and whips around.

You’re standing in the doorway, looking so amused and something about that look lets him know you understand that he definitely wasn’t in the bathroom.

“I won this for you!” he blurts, thrusting the plushie out to you, “You can have it if...you want.”

Your mouth falls into a small o shape, and you take it from him with a smile.

[quitealotofsodapop]

Idk if my ask got nuked but basically I found out that Nezha is also a diety of gambling (He is said to be the only Chinese god naughty enough to divulge winning lottery numbers. <- a real sentence I found while looking)

So now all I can envision is him just messing with Wukong whenever he can and being all like ‘before you go how about a quick game? :) What too scared of losing? :)))’ *Wukong then proceeds to lose every single game* This goes on for several millennia.

And then he just helps MK and Mei whenever he can lol (remembering that one episode where he starts gambling the teams things to that one demon in the desert) (Mei just kinda feels like she would gamble)

Wukong sees MK winning games of ‘chance’ (Nezha is helping) and he keeps losing every single time without fail (Nezha is actively keeping him from winning) and somehow has still never made the connection that for some strange reason whenever Nezha is around he just can’t get a win 🤔🤔🤔🤔

Wukong, after losing for the billionth time: *is lying face down on the floor and banging his fist against it* Why. Is. This. Happening.

MK and Mei, after winning for the billionth time: *has a mountain of plushies and toys by this point* Man I guess we’re just really lucky today :)

Nezha, in a corner: *laughs in has favorites and Wukong isn’t one of them*

I like to think he mostly uses this as a distraction/if Wukong looks like he’s in extra need of humbling tho so Wukong never really loses anything. Except his pride. :)

If Nezha was there, there would be no Goldfish demon episode. He can sniff a rigged game from a mile away.

Wukong is just in *despair* cus he loves games! But games of chance frustrate him in a way he could never imagine.

He has never noticed in the hundreds of years of having him tag along, that Nezha's gambling/luck powers can cause things like mechanical errors, jolts, hand cramps etc...

The very first time Wukong won anything from a crane machine was the first time MK took him along. It was a plush fruit with a smiley face on it, like a baby's toy. Wukong bragged about it for weeks.

glimpse of us

pairing: choi beomgyu x gn!reader, choi yeonjun x gn!reader

genre: angst, some fluff, based off joji's song glimpse of us

word count: 1.6k

synopsis: yeonjun is the best boyfriend anyone could ask for but then why do you find yourself lost in memories of what could have been?

warnings: lowkey emotional cheating (but y/n doesn’t realize til the end)

note: i’m so sorry yeonjun ;-; he is done so dirty and i feel so bad like y/n just love him back please <3

ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ

“Come on, Y/n! It would be so much fun!” Yeonjun excitedly runs past you, grabbing your hand in the process to pull you towards the front of the arcade decorated with claw machines. 

After spending the entire afternoon with your boyfriend, competitively playing games like Dance Dance Revolution, air hockey, and basketball, the two of you nearly had enough tickets to get the large fox plush the two of you have had your eyes on ever since you walked in.

You and Yeonjun head towards the machine with bundles of tickets as the prize. The look of determination on your boyfriend’s face makes you smile a bit, being one of the things you love most about him. 

“Junnie, you know claw machines are rigged!” you laugh trying to pull Yeonjun away, but he has already swiped the game card and the shiny, red five pops up, showing the number of attempts left before having to use more game swipes. 

“Watch and learn, Y/n,” he smirks as he confidently places his hands on the knob to control the claw. “I used to win every time I came with my friends back in high school.”

“I’ll believe it when I see it,” you murmur under your breath. The countless times you recall coming to the arcade, only a few times had you ever won anything. 

Yeonjun positions the claw above the roll of 150 tickets before pressing the button center of the dashboard to release the crane. The side of the hook catches onto the roll before lifting it up and carrying it to the box it was supposed to be dropped into.

Jumping in the air and clapping loudly, “ Did you see that Y/n? And you had no faith in me.”  he says smugly. 

Your boyfriend is really good at everything, ranging from taking care of you when you are ill and Dance Dance Revolution. When you two had first met, you were surprised that he was on your university’s dance team, but after watching him in the practice room after a long day of studying, you understood why. Dance was his spark – you wish you had something that inspired you that much.

Inspiration is a fickle thing. In the past, you would have said you were passionate about millions of things, like photography, sketching, and reading, but your courses often came in the way of things. Or at least that’s what you tell yourself. 

You especially loved taking photos of pretty things, but that passion quickly subsided the moment you lost the person in front of the lens. You lost a lot of your inspiration that day.

“Y/n?” Yeonjun pulls you out of your thoughts as he waves a hand in front of your face. “Are you okay – should we go home? You were spacing out on me a bit there, and I got worried.”

“No, no I’m fine Junnie. Sorry, I guess I was just lost in my own head for a bit,” you smile. “How many rolls did you win?”

Holding three bundles of tickets up to his head, smiling so widely, he shows you his accomplishments, “I was thinking that you should try!” 

“Oh god, I’m so bad at this type of thing,” you laugh and shake your hands in a motion that suggests your boyfriend should continue.

“I can’t carry all of the weight of our team. I’ve already won eighty-five percent of the tickets,” Yeonjun pouts.

“Hey now! I should have won that last game of air hockey, but someone was a bit too aggressive and slammed the puck into my hand, causing me to lose,” you huff in exasperation.

While Yeonjun giggles, you take him up for the challenge. Offsetting the claw a bit to the right of the tickets you have your eyes set on, you release the crane down. The claw hooks around the tickets, but right as they are about to make it to the box, the roll slides off the claw.

“Did you see that?! I told you this machine is rigged! I’m hopeless at this,” you sigh, unable to prove Yeonjun wrong, burying your face in the palms of your hands.

“Baby, do it like this.” Yeonjun guides your hands using his own, showing you where to place the claw for optimal chances of winning. You can feel him lightly breathing against your neck but for some reason you can’t focus on the game in front of you, instead your mind is flooded with thoughts of someone you thought you were over two years ago. 

“You know how bad I am at claw machines, Beomgyu! They literally scam me everytime,” you laugh in denial of your boyfriend’s request. The two of you have spent far too many game swipes on this damn brown bear plushie, but you’re in too deep now to give up.

“I’m sorry to tell you this, but I don’t think it’s the claw machine, Y/n.  I think it’s yo–” Your boyfriend’s remark has him ducking for cover as you’re about to smack him in the back of the head. Quickly putting his hands up in the hair as if he is innocent in this scenario, he laughs at you before you point your attention back to the game. 

“Last time I checked, Choi, you haven’t won the bear either. So, looks like WE’re both products of capitalism,” you scoff before positioning the claw directly above the bear. 

Before you can release the claw, Beomgyu’s fingers lightly graze the top of your hands before putting them back onto the knob. 

“What are you doing? Are you insane??!? Didn’t you learn anything in your physics course last semester?” Beomgyu sighs before slightly offsetting the claw from the bear to hook around the torso. Your breath slightly hitches and you’re no longer focusing on the bear anymore, rather you slightly turn your head to look at Beomgyu. He has sparkles in his eyes before looking down and softly smiling at you. 

“And release the claw!” Before he is able to press the button, your hands slightly jerk, moving the claw a bit too far to the right, completely missing the teddy bear.

“Y/N!! How could you let this happen to us?? The claw was in the perfect position, and it slipped through our fingers,” your boyfriend is sulking on the ground, looking up at you.

“Sorry, Gyu. I guess I was a bit distracted,” you apologize profusely. Beomgyu just watches and laughs at your antics as you go on and on about how probability says that the bear was probably too heavy to be picked up by the claw anyway.

“I guess you’re forgiven. I mean what better thing to be distracted by than me!” 

Your jaw drops and look your boyfriend, cheeks reddening, “Gyu, you are unserious right now.”

“By the way you’re not rejecting my statement, I’m going to assume I’m one-hundred percent right!” he boasts. Unable to speak, you quickly speed up and walk away from the giggling boy.

“It’s okay – next time we’ll win the bear!” Before rushing off to catch up with you a soft “cute” is released from his lips.

The two of you couldn’t wait to come back to the arcade together, but unfortunately the two of you parted ways and that day never came. 

“And release!” Yeonjun presses the button and the claw successfully drops the tickets in the box. He wears the biggest smile on his face, beaming from ear-to-ear. “Wait, this is the first time you have ever won anything, and I got to experience it with you!” 

Coming back to reality, you chuckle at your overly proud boyfriend. He goes on and on about this moment becoming a core memory for your relationship, but for some reason, this victory doesn’t feel as sweet as it should. 

ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ

At the ticket booth, you and Yeonjun trade in all of your hard work – 1,200 tickets – in return for a giant fox plushie. Much to your boyfriend’s disdain, you name the fox Jun because of the resemblance between Yeonjun and the fox. 

“But you already have me…why would you need another one?” Yeonjun pouts.

“Don’t worry, Junnie. You’re still my favorite,” you smile warmly. 

As the two of you pass the front of the arcade before leaving, something catches Yeonjun’s attention. 

“Oh look at that! You didn’t tell me you got the teddy from this arcade – that is so cute! Now whenever you see the bear, you will remember this moment too!” he joyfully pats your head. 

“I guess I did,” a bittersweet feeling washes over you. You know that comment shouldn’t affect you, especially when you’re the one who unexpectedly ended things with Beomgyu. 

You know you’re being unfair to Yeonjun and you should love and cherish him to the fullest, but then why do you get glimpses of the relationship you used to have? Why hadn’t things turned out differently, and why are you still lying to yourself? If you were really over your two-year relationship with Beomgyu, why did you come back months after you had broken up to win the stupid bear plushie time after time? Maybe it was for closure, or maybe it made you feel like you were closer to him again, filling the hole left when he was gone. But  in the end, it was your own fault.You ended things – not Beomgyu

Falling asleep tonight feels a bit different. Yeonjun sleeps by your side as always, but you can’t help but feel like something is wrong. Yeonjun showers you in nothing but love and adoration, and you know you don’t deserve it, because in the back of your mind, you wonder what could have been. You decide to hold the bear a little tighter tonight.

9 Favourite Albums tag game :)

(or EPs. this is for fun.)

tagged by @mortalfollies

[ID: a 3X3 grid of 9 album covers. the albums listed, from left to right and top to bottom, are: Puberty 2 by Mitski, Little Oblivions by Julien Baker, Preacher’s Daughter by Ethel Cain, Lungs by Florence and The Machine, The Fool in Her Wedding Gown by The Crane Wives, Home Video by Lucy Dacus, Historian by Lucy Dacus, Folie á Deux by Fall Out Boy, and Be The Cowboy by Mitski. END ID.]

Puberty 2-Mitski:

“not happy or sad, just up or down- and always bad”

This is probably my favorite album of all time. 100% no skips, and the music on it is really soothing to me.

Favorite song: Fireworks

Current obsession: Thursday Girl

Little Oblivions-Julien Baker:

“‘cause if I didn’t have a mean bone in my body, I’d find some other way to cause you pain”

This is an album that took me ages to actually get into, but it hits so hard. This is an album that often needs my full attention while somehow also being a “scream in the car with your windows down” album at the same time

Favorite song: Relative Fiction

Current obsessions: Favor and Song in E

Preacher’s Daughter- Ethel Cain

“If I’m turning in your stomach and I’m making you feel sick”

Ethel Cain is single-handedly bringing back the lost art of the concept album. If you can sell me on giving your album a spoiler warning before i talk about it then you’ve won

Favorite song: Strangers

Current obsession: Hard Times

Lungs- Florence and The Machine

“there is love in your body but you can’t hold it in, it pours from your eyes and spills from your skin”

This is kind of just a stand in for how much I love Florence in general but this album is just so, so good.

Favorite song: Hardest of Hearts

Current obsession: Rabbit Heart

The Fool in Her Wedding Gown- The Crane Wives

“I will love you like the ashes in my cigarette box”

This is another album representing the whole band, but this specific album is 100% no skip for me.

Favorite song: Shallow River

Current obsession: Strangler Fig

Home Video- Lucy Dacus

“heat wave by midday, heat lightning on a summer night”

this album genuinely changed my life

Favorite song: First Time

Historian- Lucy Dacus

“You don’t deserve what you don’t respect, don’t deserve what you say you love and then neglect”

This album has me screaming along to 7+ minute songs. It’s incredible.

Favorite song: Next of Kin

Folie á Deux- Fall Out Boy

“I don’t just want to be a footnote in someone else’s happiness”

This album is on the list specifically because of how good it is as a cohesive album. It’s spectacular and has been one of my favorites for almost 10 years

I don’t have a specific favorite. every song on this album fucks pretty much equally

Be the Cowboy- Mitski

“It’s just that I fell in love with a war, and nobody told me it ended”

you all already know what’s up.

Favorite song: A Pearl

Current obsession: also A Pearl

Honorable Mention: Hozier by Hozier, Electra Heart by MARINA, SAWAYAMA by Rina Sawayama, Boygenius by Boygenius, Valentine by Snail Mail

Tagging: @justconstantly @myladyvesta @soupyzoupy @cyber-feline @classicsnerd @amusedmuralist @theurbanspaceboi @a-dux and anyone else!!

#long post #tag game #cranberryposting #music

[crumblecakezz]

i think we can all agree that SHOCK!’s music video is 100% related to buddy daddies.

please pay attention to the lyrics that i note during each section 👀

it’s lengthy but i think it would be worth reading. the music video offers a lot of similarities to buddy daddies and more that hasn’t been yet been similar to any part of the show we can see, which opens up many possible theories.

—reblogs appreciated (o><o)

it begins with a lone reaper (rei) meeting an angel (kazuki) by chance from a crane game.

(lyr: “hey, i want to love you, is this true? > i showed you my heart.”)

there is an entire montage dedicated to just showing them interacting, with the reaper in blue and the angel in pink. at the end of it, they hold hands, but now the reaper is also pink.

(lyr: “hey i want to love you, is this true? > im being tossed around again”)

next shot — they chillin, holding hands or whateva, and then badoom a gigantic ufo (the organization) looms over them, and starts to chase them around. hand-in-hand, the two are running away.

(lyr: “i locked it up so it wouldn’t hurt > it won’t change, and i know, but…”)

the ufo knocks down and captures the angel in its huge hands, and the reaper’s eyes water as it reaches out to save the angel, but the angel then disappears. in very brief shots, the reaper sheds a tear and then sprouts wings.

(lyr: “i know that i don’t want to lose anything anymore > gives me a good laugh”)

in a series of beautiful✨ shots, the reaper is trying to escape the ufo with determination and it’s newfound wings.

(lyr: “let’s love and be loved > let me see if this is love”)

there is a shot of the angel, pink, and the reaper, blue again and far away. there is another shot of the reaper letting a tear fall.

(lyr: “from now on, swing me around as you please”)

the reaper, although with wings, is falling through the sky with great speed. its eyes tear up. in the next shot, it reaches out towards the camera as it falls back into the grasp of the ufo.

(lyr: “swing me around as you please, forever”)

the lights on the sign on the crane machine powers off. a small reaper and angel plush are won by and picked up by a girl wearing pink (miri) from a crane machine (the same one).

(no lyr)

———

so many things in this video make so much sense after i really gave it some thought. here is what we know for sure as of episode 8:

rei was a lone killing machine before meeting kazuki (wandering reaper).

kazuki was trapped by his guilt until he taught rei to live, which in turn helped himself (angel trapped in crane machine).

kazuki and rei met by chance (crane machine).

he changed rei for the better, even if he doesn’t realize it (turning the same color as kazuki).

they are dependent and reliant on each other, for work and personal reasons. they lent each other a helping hand (holding hands).

but we saw that when something personal interferes with the professional commitment people have to the organization, the organization will make sure it doesn’t stay that way (huge ufo with big eyes and hands chasing the two).

as for the rest of the music video? shit gets sad…

the angel is torn away from the reaper and trapped in the ufo’s grasp. it then disappears to become a plushie again.

the reaper sprouts wings and does all it can to escape the ufo, but it meets the same fate as the angel. being separated from the angel makes the reaper blue again.

the two, in a helpless and immobile plushie state, are picked up, by chance, and by a little girl this time. however, this might put the girl in danger of meeting the ufo as well.

———

i think i don’t need to explain my theories for that part. it can speak for itself…

but it’s got me seriously worried about the direction of this show. since we know that the beginning can be well-explained by rei and kazuki’s first encounter and a little past that, there is a chance that the rest of it reflects the rest of the series as well.

or who knows, maybe the music video is only extremely resemblant of the show it ops for by coincidence!! 😭 maybe buddy daddies has a happy wholesome ending…!!!

thanks for readin (o^^)9

HMM for headcanons can i get uhhhhh just something abt lance at the movie theater ?? 👉🏼👈🏼

i think it's funny how he says he doesn't care about technology but he likes going to see a movie. i think he'd be stupidly good at the crane game

Heeey 👋 Here, have some HC with Lance👀, hope you like it ❤️

In the place where Lance was born and lived, technology was inferior to magic, which is why cinematography was a gimmick to him when he was young, when he first went to a movie with friends. He preferred to imagine his own world when he read books, but movies piqued his great curiosity.

Lance pays attention to unusual things in the movie theater (the birds, the walls, the rest) for a reason. There's something special about this building (especially if the theater was restored by Junimo, then Lance's sense of forest magic is understandable).

You're right, Lance is extremely lucky to get any toy out of a crane game. And he doesn't even have to use magic to do it, it's like he's been playing it all his life. "Beginner's luck," the Farmer would think, but they hold half the stuffed toys and other prizes from the machine that Lance won on his first try. He might be banned from playing the crane.

Lance is respectful of other people, and will not make noise or break the rules of being there while a movie is going on. He wants the same treatment from other people, so if someone in the theater is talking on their phone during the movie, Lance will snap his finger and make the disruptor's phone malfunction. Or if a tourist is being insolent, a little magic will make a cup of Joja Coke fall into the asshole's lap.

Not a fan of horror movies (because they don't scare him), but if Farmer is afraid of horror movies and will constantly cuddle Lance, looking for comfort, the gallant adventurer can tolerate a boring movie 😏

Healthy snacks, fruits and smoothies? Here? Lance thought they only sold over-salted popcorn and candy before the movie. Of course, he doesn't mind salty snacks sometimes, but the fact that there's healthy food here makes him happy.

Tried JojaCorn once and told Farmer it wasn't a bad snack. If Farmer is anti-Joja, they will seriously consider divorce (that's a joke, but Farmer's face will definitely cringe).

RULES: post 5 songs associated with your oc, followed by 3 outfits they would wear

@again-please posted this game and I REALLY love it, so I will be doing it for a few OCs down the line, but for now, I'm doing it for my FINALLY NAMED tiefling monk and astarionmancer from Baldur's Gate 3:

Meet Maris Atwater!

Lizzie No – Hard Won

I came up like a paper daughter / Fallen with the afterthought / And the tender mercy that I was after came hard won

2. Florence + the Machine – Drumming Song

I run to the river and dive straight in / I pray that the water will drown out the din / But as the water fills my mouth / It couldn't wash the echoes out

3. Of Monsters and Men – Organs

I am tired of punching in the wind / I am tired of letting it all in / And I should eat you up and spit you right out / I should not care but I don't know how

4. The Crane Wives – Margaret

She won't lie down / Won't hesitate / She's breaking her knuckles on truths that keep her awake / And she's tired / But her jaw is set / She won't lose anymore of the heart she still has left

5. AURORA – Your Blood

When all inside you burns like a star / It's after you burn out that you are / Reborn again, reborn again / And maybe if you called out for help / Then I could help you outrun yourself

BONUS SONG: Another Florence + the Machine tune! This is what I imagine Maris’s theme song to be.

6. Florence + the Machine – Various Storms & Saints

Don't make the mountain your enemy / Get out, get up there instead / You saw the stars out in front of you / Too tempting not to touch / But even though it shocked you / Something's electric in your blood

As for the outfits, I imagine Maris to very much be a beach girl, specifically surfer kind of fashion. Grunge-ish surfer. Not posting too many outfits because they run kind of similarly (pants she can move in and crop tops also for movement and because she runs warm), and because I honestly don't know what her formal style would be.

If anyone would like to hear more about her, let me know!

If anyone else wants to play, consider yourselves tagged!

An Analysis of My Scott Playlist

Big long post as promised <33 roughly 40 songs

I've Had Enough by Melina KB

This song in the context of double life is very interesting to me, but I also like to see it in Scott talking to Jimmy (Sorry flower husbands truthers I love soft and kind flower husbands too but we have all seen what happened in limited life they do have some slight issues)

"Cause you miss the way I let you walk all over me" | Again could work in both contexts, Scott never really went out of his way to stop Pearl from doing what she does with the powdered snow, sure he did retaliate but you can tell at some point he just gets used to it. And then in the context of Jimmy I'm thinking very especially about limited life flower husbands and Scott giving up time for Jimmy.

"I'm done with shutting up I've learned a lot better" | Maybe in this of Scott thinking he's learnt to stand up for himself? And I say think because I'm talking about how he thought he was in the right in double life (None of them were) It's also funny because he has the confidence so strongly in double life where he makes his feelings known and then it's just like... 'Oh yeah you can kill me!!' And I know it's part of his whole making everything fair thing, but still

"Admit you did it we all know you did it" | We all know you're the one who left me when you went to the nether, tormented me, screwed me over repeatedly. Both Pearl and Scott do not understand each others perspectives of the situation and villanize the other for it.

----

Washing Machine Heart by Mitski

"I know who you pretend I am" | Limited life Scott and Martyn, Martyn pretending he's serving his king again, Scott being alright with it because he knows Martyn is by his side for more than just that reason, and he's right Martyn is.

It's a pretty short analysis here but it's mainly I guess about Scott wanting allies and wanting to be loved by them but they always have someone else more important to them than he is

----

The Moon Will Sign by the Crane Wives

"All those empty rooms" | Something about Scott being alone after Jimmy died in 3rd life, empty rooms with no noise to fill them

"We made our peace with weariness and let it be" | The weariness oof being forced into death games over and over, the blood brings chaos the familiarity of death brings peace

"I shine only with the light you gave me" | OKAY NOW HEAR ME OUT ON THIS ONE You might be saying "But Scott was the one who lived longer in that relationship and is literally seen as the stars" But have you ever considered Jimmy was the one everyone loved more, jimmy was the one to make strong alliances, Jimmy was the one there was fuss over when he died. Scott was only able to be strong because he had Jimmy by his side and without that 'light' he was simply a tool of vengence

"Instead you hoarded all thats left of me" | In the sense that Jimmy unknowingly kept Scott's ability to love another other than him, and all his courage and faith in the world. Not that Jimmy was doing it on purpose but it still happened anyways

"I want to feel the fire that you kept from me" | NOBODY TALK TO ME THIS IS 100% SCOTT TALKING ABOUT RANCHERS. I DON'T CARE IF YOU LIKE RANCHERS AND HATE FLOWER HUSBANDS OR WHATEVER BUT YOU CANNOT TELL ME THIS IS NOT SCOTT BEING BITTER THAT JIMMY GAVE MORE LOVE TO TANGO THAN HE EVER DID TO SCOTT. HE WANTED TO FEEL THAT FIRE OF A LOVE HE NEVER GOT TO KEEP

----

Two Slow Dancers by Mitski

Another double life-coded song

Very much Scott and Pearl

"And We've both done it all a hundred times before" | More so in reference to last life, they've played the death game before they know how it goes

"it would be a hundred times, easier if we were young again" | If they were young and still filled with faith, if Scott hadn't won last life and learnt the pain of winning and become bitter in the season following

"We get a few years and then it want's us back" | Not necessarily a few years but more so like the gaps between the games, a bit of freedom and then the watchers want them all at each others throats

----

Evelyn Evelyn by Evelyn Evelyn

Surprise surprise another Pearl and Scott one

"Why do we bother to stay? Why are you running away" | Scott and Pearl with their conflicting feelings at the start of double life, with Scott wondering why he should stay and Pearl not wanting him to leave her

"We grew up closer than most, closer than anything, closer than anything" | In either they grew up close in last life or their soulbound in double life, either way their fates are intertwined

"What if they find us? They're not looking anyways" and it's counter part line "I want to be famous, they're watching us anyways" | WATCHERS WATCHERS WATCHERS!! There's so much about this that just gives, hiding away from the watchers or giving into their whims

"At your side I feel like a ghost" | It can go either way in my mind, Pearl not feeling adequate enough to be seen and Scott feeling like she's killing him

"A parasite needs a host- I'm only trying to do what is best for us!" | because Pearl only wanted to help her soulmate, not that Scott didn't but he felt so betrayed and then it turned to a feeling of her leeching onto him

"You're always trying to be somebody else" | THIS!! Because Pearl wasn't acting like who she used to be and who Scott became friends with, she became 'somebody else' in an attempt to bring him back.

----

Little Soldiers by the Crane Wives

"Beneath the table you would offer up my bones And all the dogs would lick your fingers" | As in how Jimmy does things at Scott’s expense to get people to trust him or to get time and hearts and such

"And I dragged you through every room inside our home" | Scott struggling to get Jimmy to do anything with him anymore and feeling like the effort he puts in is not enough

----

November by Sparkbird

"Admit it, you were never going to get it I was always going to get it" | Can't explain why but this gives last life Scott killing Ren

"Maybe that's relevant somehow, can I explode now" | ....boom boom at the end of double life :3

Allies or Enemies by The Crane Wives

"And I swear I didn't mean what I said" ...I live by the belief that Scott didn't actually mean to tell Pearl he was 'breaking up' with her, guys trust me it was the watchers. But also apart from that it could be anything

"Are we allies or enemies this will be the death of me" | Scott in secret life, not understanding what his teammates actually think of him

"All is fair in love and war but I can't fight with you anymore" | FLOWER HUSBANDS LIMITED LIFE GUYS!!

Canary in a coal mine

CANARY IN A COAL MINE IS SCOTT’S SONG NOT JIMMY’S I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL

"Am I the only thing that keeps you safe when the light is gone?" | Scott being the only person to protect Jimmy in third life and protecting his memory even after he’s dead

"I’ll be worth more than all the silence left in my way" | The silence referring to how Jimmy doesn’t really interact or talk to Scott outside of third life, he is silent towards him, and Scott is hoping that he’ll be more than that to Jimmy if he tries hard enough

"I’ll sing you songs until the darkness does recede" | Scott calming Jimmy down when he needs it always being there to reassure him, keeping his hearts safe and him armoured in 3rd life

"Will you forget about your love for me?" | If Scott is no longer able to keep chasing after someone that won’t come back from him will that love that they once had in 3rd life be forgotten for good?

"And when you break the surface, oh, without me" | When Jimmy meets new people achieves new things and finally manages to break the curses all without Scott because no matter how much Scott tries Jimmy won’t let him help

"Please don’t return me to the dark of all the memories, yeah" | The dark actually being hope don’t give him any more hope that those memories could be recreated

"I will save you when your lights go out" | Scott is giving him time which continues to live being his breath, Scott’s love for him keeps him alive and that act of love is letting Jimmy kill him for time, saving him when he needs it most

This song is so so Scott coded most if not all the lyrics fit his perspective of things, the song is associated with Jimmy mainly because he is the Canary in the coal mine which sure fair enough but the lyrics themselves don’t fit his personality or his view of things, I guess some things could refer to how the winners and others have left him behind and he is weighed down by the curse but nothing else really fits him.

Misery Meat by Sodikken

"You want a taste of my brain? Okay, it's yours anyway, A bite of my eye alright I won't put up a fight" | Scott giving his time away and hearts away for other people with little complaint

Last Time On Total Drama Cruise Control: SOMETHING FISHY IS AFOOT!

CHALLENGE 8: - MANZANILLO, COLIMA “Manzanillo is famous for its sport fishing, and today we're hunting down the mascot of this resort...the blue marlin! Each boat has three posts someone will need to work- the driver's seat to drive the boat, an angler to strap to the fishing chair and reel it in, and a netter ready to catch the fish and land it! The blue marlin is no joke, it'll put up a real fight, and watch out for that nose! Seriously, I don't think the insurance covers for fishing accidents...” “...Anyways, whoever lands the fish first wins. Just know it has to be a blue marlin. I'm not eating any other- um. I mean. I will not accept any other fish. You will be catching and releasing them...” ______________________________________________

Tapirs: Driver: Courtney Angler: Lightning Netter: WayneBeavers: Driver: Sammy Angler: Alejandro Netter: Ripper

______________________________________________

ALRIGHT, DRIVERS. YOUR JOB IS TO CRUISE AROUND AND LOOK FOR SIGNS OF THE BLUE MARLIN. ANGLERS YOUR JOB IS TO CAST A LINE OUT AND HOOK A FISH, THEN REEL IT IN. NETTERS, ONCE THE FISH IS CLOSE ENOUGH, YOUR JOB IS TO CAST A NET AND LAND THE FISH ONTO THE BOAT!

> The Beavers take the lead with a Marlin secured on the line, Tapirs still need find one…. > AND THE TAPIRS HOOK THE MARLIN. BUT CAN THEY HOLD IT?! > BEAVERS HOLD ONTO THE LEAD WITH THE BLUE MARLIN HALFWAY TO THE BOAT! > TAPIRS NEARLY LOSE THE FISH, BUT LIGHTNING SECURES IT IN AND STARTS REELING! > BEAVERS! ALEJANDRO REELED IN YOUR FISH! GET TO NETTING! > TAPIRS. LIGHTNING'S REELING SKILLS WAS ABLE TO REEL YOUR FISH UP TO THE BOAT, GET NETTING! > BOTH TEAMS ARE TIED! > BEAVERS! THE FISH GETS AWAY! ALEJANDRO YOU CAN STILL TRY TO REHOOK IT! > TAPIRS! WAYNE CASTS HIS NET AND SECURES THE FISH! > TAPIRS! WAYNE HAS THE FISH HALFWAY ON THE BOAT! JUST A LITTLE MORE….. > BEAVERS! RIPPER NETTED THE FISH, ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS GET IT IN! > WAYNE! WITH A HEAVE HO AND A LITTLE HOOT HOOT...YOUR MARLIN LANDS ON THE BOAT! IT WILDLY THRASHES AROUND! > BEAVERS JUST COULDN'T GET IT ON THE BOAT IN TIME! TAPIRS WIN! GAME OVER!

ELIMINATION: It was Millie who was served the Mocktail of Misery and walked the Plank of Shame. ______________________________________________

What's that? Wayne won't let Chris take the fish and lets it go? That's not good for the Tapirs... "With the Beavers down to 6 members, and the Tapirs with 9, I have decided... Beavers, Pick yourself a Tapir!" "….Jo. Congrats! You're a Beaver now!" ______________________________________________ >Trent pushes Alejandro into the pool. This is the first time Alejandro has been in a body of water this season. His makeup washes off, which reveals his scars. >Harold drank Amy's blood while dressed in a nurse costume. >Harold dons the nurse outfit once again. He and Alejandro, who is dressed as a doctor, sneak into a blood bank with fake IDs to steal blood. The blood is then stored in a fridge and Harold makes popsicles out of some of it. >Alejandro and Amy enable each other, as per usual.

>Ripper finally tells Raj that he has a crush on Wayne. >Raj shares Alejandro the full story behind why he's afraid of birds. (Cassowaries are brutal.) >Wayne won a cassowary plushie from the crane machine. It falls out of his pocket during a talk with Raj. Raj fearfully points it out, and Wayne quickly rushes to boil the thing in the kitchen. Yes, it is left to boil in a pot. They leave it there. >Wayne shares gifts with Alejandro, Raj, and Ripper. The drawing Alejandro is gifted acted as an apology, as Wayne realizes things don't seem to be clicking with them as friends. >The Sea Tails (Alejandro, Raj, Wayne, Ripper) visit a museum. Wayne accidentally brings up several sore subjects for Alejandro. Raj is still shaken and upset from the incident with the cassowary plushie earlier that day. It's clear Ripper doesn't want to be here, either. Museums are boring. Sea Tails meetings usually leave everyone sad, and Wayne feels it is his fault this time. He leaves, not before giving Raj and Ripper a hug. Alejandro does not receive one. >Alejandro, Ripper, and Raj wander into a volcano exhibit by accident, and they attempt to comfort him and take him out of the room as soon as possible. >Raj and Jo have an extremely brief argument. They start talking about their pets and everything is okay. >The Love Square (Brick, Scott, Courtney, Jo) are finally OFFICIAL! >Alejandro lends Ripper his camera. Ripper responds by immediately taking a picture of himself flipping Alejandro the bird. Blood sucking vampires and mounds of trauma, this ship has everything! Is the Love Square stronger now that they're together? Will Alejandro ever find a way to tolerate Wayne? Why is Trent shoving people so much? Find out next time on TOTAL! DRAMA! CRUUUIISE CONTROL!
