What about dick Grayson x fem reader , where they go undercover and reader wears a maid’s dress as a disguise

A/N: this came out a bit shorter than I anticipated but hopefully still meets what you were looking for

Warnings: none; poorly written action

‿̩͙‿ ༺ ♰ ༻ ‿̩͙‿ ‿̩͙‿ ༺ ♰ ༻ ‿̩͙‿

"Ugh this thing is so tight" Dick complained as he tugged on the collar of his disguise "how do you do this everyday Alfred?" he asked the butler

"I tailor my own uniform Master Dick" he answers with his signature blank face. Dick swore that even with the same facial expression that Alfred was smug, its the look in his eyes!!

Dick had recently received new information on a party Penguin was holding with some other bigger villains. The main issue with that is multiple villains have been too quiet recently, meaning this was leading up to something bigger.

:readmore:

And now it was your job and his to infiltrate as servers to know exactly what was going to happen. So now I hear you both were raiding Alfred's closet to find a disguise of some sort to be able to pass without any growing suspicion.

"Yeah I get that but there had to be another way" he said shifting in his suit one last time before you walk in.

"It's really great you had this spare Alred, thanks again," you said adjusting your skirt and button down. Now Dick was expecting you to be in a similar suit. Not formal dress that with outlined your figure perfectly. Sure it puffed out a bit once it hit your waist, but it was obvious that it suit you very well. And the heels that were only a few inches off the ground gave you a mature but elegant look.

Sure you had a nice outfits and even your regular attire for nights like this suit you really well. But some thing about this made attire gave you a whole new light. Somethings slightly seductive as well.

“Wow…Can i buy that off of you Alred?”

“Only if you’ll be the one wearing it master Dick” the butler quipped

“Ha ha dick, now come on we can’t waste more time, the event is about to start”

Now during this event he really couldn’t help but just stare. Which means he got punched a few times from getting distracted.

“Nightwing! What’s going on tonight ?” You poke at him while you grabbed him a save from a thug

“What can I say? The staff here just captured the eye” he smirks at you knocking out another goon.

In all the night ended pretty well. Plans were tarnished, villains were jailed, and of course the night was successful. Getting back to the bat cave to return the disguises to Alfred. Dick was still looking at you, so you finally turned him and say

“Does the maid outfit do something for you or does it look that bad on me that you’re just staring?” you raise an eyebrow

“Maybe it does,” he shrugs “is that a bad thing?” He pouts as he rests his hands your hips

“Well maybe i should buy something a little more…maid like?” You smirk at him “now come on we gotta get these back to Alfred” you said gentle punch his chest

“Mmm fine, but i call the shower first!” He said rushing to get his suit off. He’s going to have to take Alfred up on that offer to buy the dress now.

☆.｡.:* 07. so it goes... ✍︎

previous | masterlist | next

☆.｡.:* cruel summer

☆.｡.:* synopsis: you are a small streamer centered on cozy gaming and your ongoing series of ranking every taylor swift song in a tier list. scaramouche is a competitive speed runner in a streamer group called “the harbingers” that has an insanely large fan base. your paths only cross once he subtweets about your content and your favorite artist, causing a petty online argument that might lead to something else.

ㅤㅤ ╰ཱི ࣭ ࣪ ❁𝆬 ࣭ ྏ ࣭ ͘ ｡ ࣪ ✐ yntaylorsversion is live! ̣ ࣪ ྌ

“Hi, chat!” You greeted with a light smile as viewers began to flood into the stream, a little more people than you’d usually get. You quickly fumbled with your settings until your webcam turned on and a little video of your face popped up in the corner of the stream.

You gave a wave to the camera, and then picked a random playlist to play in the background. “Hi, guys!” You said again for the people who joined after your first greeting.

“So, today, we’re playing on a new minecraft server with Venti and Xiao!” You explained as you changed from your starting screen to the minecraft tab, your mouse hovering over the join server button. You take a quick glance at the chat to see what they’re saying.

rainbow-dreams

HELP DONT EXPOSE THE SERVER IP 😭😭

ynluvs

ur my comfort streamer but do we really need to listen to Taylor swift for the sixth stream in a row 🧍

rxtten_bxnes

beep beep eueueueu

kazu_zu

I can’t believe ur friends w childe?? have you not read the thread of what he’s done 🤨

“I’m not gonna leak the IP! At least, I hope I don’t. And yes, we do need to listen to Taylor swift for the sixth stream in a row,” You said as you kinda unintentionally made liking Taylor Swift apart of your brand.

“Okay, I’m going to join the VC real quick,” You said as you looked over at your discord, looking for the vc that Venti and Xiao were in. You found them at the very last one labeled vc 69…. How mature of them :)

“—aaaAAAAAAAA,” Venti’s voice immediately filled your ears, causing you to flinch.

“Venti, shut up,” Xiao said with a groan. “Hello, Y/n,” He said, clearly already annoyed with Venti.

“Hi! Why are we screaming?” You asked while your ears recovered from the screech.

“I was being chased by a spider,” Venti said, reminding you to actually join the world.

“Your fault for running into a cave with no touches,” Xiao said. “I’ll bring your stuff back to spawn,”

“Thank you, Xiao-Xiao!” Venti replied, knowing that Xiao didn’t like Venti calling him that.

“Never mind!” Xiao responded. You chuckled at the conversation between the two, finally clicking the join server button and loading into the server.

“Wait, I’m sorry!! Please bring my stuff to spawn?” Venti pleaded. “Please please please please pleaseeee?”

“That was like… six pleases you gotta say yes, Xiao,” You laughed.

“Alright, fine,” Xiao caved in.

“Y/n, are you joining?” Venti asked.

“Yeah, yeah, it’s just taking forever to load,” You responded, tapping your fingers against your desk. Finally, after what seemed like forever, you spawned into the minecraft server.

Your two friends were just… standing there awkwardly waiting at the spawn, it seemed.

“You could’ve at least given me a jump scare warning!” You said, punching Venti’s in game character and watching him die just from that, his inventory of flowers and apples spreading out across the spawn area.

“Why were you on one heart??” Xiao asked, exasperated.

“Uhhhh…” Venti said as he spawned back in. “Fall damage?” He responded as if he wasn’t sure.

Xiao crouched in game, giving Venti his flowers and apples back.

“Aww, thank you!” Venti, crouching and moving closer to Xiao. “Mwah!” He acted as if his Minecraft avatar kissed Xiao’s and then ran away.

“Ewwww,” You groaned, dramatically, at the show of (pixalated) affection.

The three of you went through the regular new Minecraft server motions, punching trees and mining ore… or in Venti’s case picking flowers and dying every five seconds. You had found a pretty little flower field and started building a cozy little starter home.

Everything was going pretty nice! Until…

“Chat, I am focused on building this roof right now, I cannot read what you’re saying!” You noticed the chat going by a little faster, but you were too hyper focused on making the roof for your little cottage.

“Y/n!!” Venti said. “Y/n, look out!”

“Not now, Venti,” You said, placing the second to last block

“It’s hopeless, Ven” Xiao sighed.

“Huh—” You were knocked off the roof, taking additional damage along with the fall damage. Turning around, you saw another player standing on top of your house.

Scaramouche ran the other direction; you followed behind, stringing out sentences of curses.

authors note: ignore that the mc screenshot is obviously edited i dont have friends who plays minecraft LMAO. ngl writing third person is out of my comfort zone so i hope this is decent lmao

"I learned quickly that perseverance stood between a cat and her new best friend- (Me!)" (x)

---

New Dog's Life chapter today! ~ 3rd Life series fan-season

Chapter 14 - “Kindle (Pearl, Impulse)”

❤️ Read on AO3

💛 Start from Chapter 1

💚 More Pixels Imperfect fics

---

Pearl's barely begun playing Session 2 when Scott calls her back to the portal hub. See, she's on the buddy program list, and there's a new refugee in New Star Station who's a little... Well. Different. His name is Rhetoric, and in the eyes of the game, he doesn't exist.

While Pearl sorts that out, Impulse mines the ore to craft a clock...

(First 1,000 words under the cut)

PearlescentMoon - Bat

Quarry: Etho

Hunter: Unknown

Allegiance: Lush Cave Alliance

💚 💛 ❤️

Pearl is on-server for what feels like eight minutes and eleven seconds before Scott logs onto Dog's Life, pleads for her, Ren, and Martyn to log out, and jumps off again. Pearl relays this information to Tango, who turns his head. He, uh… He doesn't push away from the thin ring of basalt that stands between them and a drop to certain splashy lava death. He's leaning over it pretty far. And that's fine! To each their own, y'know?

Still kinda stresses me out, though. Since ghasts can die from their own fireballs, I'm not sure they're fireproof… so I'm glad I'm not the one carrying those hybrid traits right now.

A ripple passes down Tango's white-tipped tail, though his expression is curious, not annoyed. Several ghast tendrils lie long and coiled around him. A few of them ripple too, and Pearl is grateful for the new mod she put (with Grian's blessing) that spells the word Ghast above his head. Finally, Tango does flip around, though he braces his elbows on the wall. "Well, I mean… He must need you for something pretty serious if he's pulling you away this early. C'mon, though… It's only been a couple seconds for him since you came on, right?"

That is weird… Pearl glances over the rim of the basalt drop. One relatively small ghast bobs below. It's one of the little ones translucent enough to show its massive beating heart. "I guess so? I've not actually taken the time to experiment with the way it works. It's so confusing living in Simmers' Quarter-"

"Oh, yeah… Yeah, they play around with time a lot over there, don't they? That'll really mess you up. Some of your neighbors pop back the next day zoned out of their minds like they've been gone for years, right?"

Pearl chuckles. Sort of. It's mostly drowned in the distant, warbled mews of ghasts and the crackle of the lava. The Nether air is thick with smoke. The oxygen is thick here. She really needs a drink. At least this should be a quick visit… She doesn't plan to stay here with Tango half as long as she did with Martyn back in Double Life. But if they get carried away… Cleo and Jimmy will understand. Probably. At least they have each other.

Actually, given Cleo's track record, maybe I do want to be careful.

She checks the comm again. You know, there's something pathetic and cruel about all this. The irony is omnipresent and its laughs tickle at her ears. Scott certainly wanted nothing to do with her in Double Life, even though they got along well the season before. They thrived, actually, back in Last Life. He won the season and Pearl made it to the final four. They faced each other in the finals of Double Life with snow up to their ankles, Scott clutching Cleo's limp body in his arms and Pearl holding a panting wolf by the collar, fingers wedged beneath the leather strap.

How fitting, y'know… all the snow. Wind whistled, swishing snowflakes through the air. Few words were exchanged. Mostly staring eyes and heaving chests. Puffing breaths, visible in the air. Wolves growled, Scott bent his head over Cleo's unmoving form, and splintered sparks curled down both their cheeks. It always ends like this, in Grian's games. They always start of fun and full of life, then tear her to her core.

She loves the rush. She really does.

Double Life ended in a burst of TNT, set off at Scott's own hand. And maybe they didn't get along, and maybe it had its miserable and lonely moments (especially where roleplay and Between interactions blurred into bitter avoidance, like he didn't want to see her at all).

Two seasons later, here he is… come crawling back to coax her from the dark. What's she to do with that information? Scott probably wouldn't taste his own medicine even if she poured it in a sugar spoon and shoved it straight down his throat. He'd cough it up and squirm and spit it right back in her face.

Well, maybe I could do a little better at inviting him out in Between… Without regular Empires interaction, she sort of fell off the map where Scott's concerned. Maybe she likes it that way.

And maybe I don't.

It's… difficult (hanging out with Scott) because it's easy (for Tango and Jimmy to get along; for Martyn and Cleo to have clear lines of disinterest in the sand; for Etho and Joel to tumble twinkle-eyed into mischief even after all this time). This feeling swishing inside her soul isn't even jealousy. Seriously, that is not the issue. Muddlement might be the better word. Confusion and muddlement.

And it's not hard because of Double Life, exactly, because roleplay isn't supposed to cut this deep. It's difficult for reasons undefinable. It's difficult because it doesn't have to be. Scott never meant to, but he made the rejection hurt a lot more, y'know? To do this so soon after he came out to her about the whole 'allay' thing and pressed forward, practically pleading for an extension of their queerplatonic relationship to cross from Last Life into Between. He was coming off a break-up with Jimmy. He probably wasn't in his best frame of mind, and the emotions of Last Life were still tangled and raw for both of them.

She did turn him down, though. You know, that's what really stinks. Why does she feel so much guilt about it, even after all this time? She really handled that information overload as best as she possibly could. She didn't do it over comm. She didn't drag it out. It was all in private, too, though maybe she could've waited for him to put his jacket on again. And she looked him in the eyes (most the time), and saw two little hearts break inside his pupils like shattered snow globes dumping liquid to the floor.

"I'm sorry, Scott… I'm not really interested…"

i guess i should say that i feel a little emotional, yeah?

in some aspects i missed out greatly with dreamsmp. i never saw nov 16th live, or the exile streams, or even the disc finale. i fell in love with this little server afterwords, when all the highs had already happened.

i joined late jan 2021 by happenstance. i saw one of sad-ist's animations in my youtube recommend and i finally decided to give it a watch. then i saw the other two that were out at the time. and i caved in.

the first Major lore stream i watched live was c!tommy's visits to the prison. and his death. and his revival. i was hooked.

i followed blogs here on tumblr and followed all the ccs on every social media account they had.

i got invited to flycord! friggin flycord!!! and i met so many wonderful people there!

i met my pals @sunlitmcgee, and @tobi-smp and they are some of my best friends!

i made so much art, over the course of dsmp's life i made over 200 pieces of art (and counting.)

i bought so much merch, none of it i am Ever getting rid of. my l'manburg flag hangs proudly on my wall still.

i hum the l'manburg anthem every now and then, and even the beginning notes of "Hit the Road Jack". bc it all mattered to me.

there are some parts of me that will forever be bitter about the constant hiatuses, the shitty finale, and well. green boy himself.

but there's also parts of me that will always be happy abt this server. i got to know about Techno and watch his streams and videos before he died, i grew attached to the characters (c!tommy is my son), i am in the process of writing a finale fix-it that i am putting my all into.

and for what it's worth, everything was worth it. everything was worth the 2 years i put my heart and soul into this fandom and i wouldn't trade it for anything.

thanks, dsmp.

#flame talks #dsmp #dream mention #i know a lot of ppl are bitter abt dsmp now but i refuse to be #thank you to everyone for this journey #it's been a hell of a ride

A look back on my old art (and other doodles on Twitter.) - December 2020

This marks the FIRST post of many I will make detailing my old work. I'm gonna start posting these weekly as to make it easy others AND for me. And what better way to start it off by the month I finally got a tablet. (and turnt 18 too I guess)

I was not a smart 18 year old, I some how barely survived the last 2 years of high school, and this and the next would become the worse it ever got. Yet I still persisted and somehow stay sane. Kinda. Keep that in mind for the bulk of 2021's art in the following weeks.

December 4

As you can see from the first image, I was using a mouse at the time (and a combination of mspaint and firealpaca) That will change soon enough. Also homestuck =:3

Original descriptions:

I saw this and I thought I can use this as an excuse to actuallly draw homestuck

have this nepeta doodle as well

December 6

At the time I was really obsessed with making homestuck sprites of stuff (and I still kinda do) so I made this at a request of a friend at the time.

Original description:

@SpringingTraps made me draw metaware homestuck

December 8

Why did I even included this post in here? Well I used to be SUPER inconsistent how I draw myself, so thought this would be a good start.

Original description:

i found that pettting gif website...

December 11

I'll be honest, I wish I didn't post this back then. IDK it's kinda weird looking back on now.

Original Description:

It's #FlatFuckFriday AND my birthday??? Fuck yeah!!! 🥞

December 18

I'll be honest. I have no idea how I did THIS with a mouse of all things. Like how did I do it. In MSPAINT no less. Also I have no idea why I drew myself like this here.

Original Description:

fucking around with faking line weight, so glad I don't have to do this shit when I get a tablet

December 20

Oh look Cave Story, one my earliest obsessions. When this drawing came out, I already have long since moved on from it, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate it.

Original Description:

16 years of #CaveStory =:]

December 22

Ah here we go, I finally got a drawing tablet. I got REALLY excited with the pen pressure that I kinda gone overboard with it, but it was nice to use one. (granted I forgot how to draw with a mouse now.) Oh yeah, if you notice a black line on the VERY top of some drawings, that was a bug with firealpaca. I kinda had to live with it for a while.

Original Description:

WOW HAVING PEN PRESURE MAKES A BIG DIFFFERENCE

This was the first real piece I did after getting a tablet. I'm quite proud of it. The context behind this image is kinda funny really. A server I was in was doing a collab where we drew UCN portraits of our OCs or Sona, and I drew something for it. Yes UCN, Ultimate Custom Night. I was in my second FNAF phase at the time.

Original Description:

Let the static flow.

December 23

At the time, I used to draw myself with sideburn thingies cause I thought it look cute, but I no longer do that. Also you might be noticing a large about drawing made in a short timeframe. Well I have an explanation for that. You see, I sometimes get hit by these bursts of productivity and I can draw super fast. Sometimes these bursts happen at random, but in this case it was because I gotten a new tablet and new ideas where flowing.

Original Description:

This was supposed to be a sketch...

I HAVE LOT TO SAY ABOUT THIS. I was super obsessed with TGWeaver's FNAF comics. It was why I gotten back into FNAF around 2019. But I was fascinated with Toy Bonnie at the time, to the point I started drawing her on the daily. I started using her as an avatar for myself online. It was when I saw a post on tumblr where something made a kinsona when it clicked for me. This rabbit holds sooooo much gender. 🏳️‍⚧️ Thus ended 5 years of denial over my gender.

Original Description:

some weaver buns

December 24

I tried drawing myself with my hair down here. I didn't like it then. I got better at drawing my hair down though. I was this file was named "cel test" for some reason.

Original Description:

It's me!

December 25

Remember when I said I was inconsistent, here an example. I dislike how this turned out then, I STILL do now. The only thing I do like? This was when I started to shade in this particular way. Also at the time I was worried about being too slow, which is funny when I was posting so many things at once. But also the filename was "the crunch" which is less funny and more worrying.

Original Description:

I need to learn how to do this faster

December 28

Oh look a Commission! There's nothing special to say about this.

Original Description:

Shaded commission for @Bunnydudee of Carmen from Animal Crossing!

December 29

THAT'S RIGHT I DREW SONIC.EXE BEFORE IT WAS COOL. Jokes aside, this post was more so for Tails Doll. I loved drawing that little bugger in the most pathetic and dorky way possible.

Original Description:

Tails Doll's roommate is a wacknut

---

FINALLY we made it thru December. Goodness I posted alot more often back then huh. Kinda surprising. Anyways next week I'll post January!

#my art #fursona #doodles #commission #sona #Clover's Old Art #twitter repost #long post #fnaf #toy bonnie #fnaf bonnie #homestuck #metaware high school #tails doll #sonic.exe #carmen animal crossing #sue sakamoto #ms paint #sorry about the long tag list

Get to Know Me - Sims Edition

Tagged by @puffkins2000 and several others!

What’s your favorite Sims death? Never thought very well about the death types but I'll go for Time Anomaly because the ghost actually looks kinda creepy!

Alpha CC or Maxis Match? MM clothing, semi-realistic Asian-made skins, ALPHA HAIR ONLY. Furniture is a mix, really, but I can't stand MM hair in TS3 AT ALL.

Do you cheat your sims weight? Not at all - if I want to change their weight, they'll go to the gym! Now, for other physical features (read: getting rid off EAxis cartoonishness) Edit in CAS is my best friend :P

Do you move objects? But of course?????? XD

Favorite Mod? The NRaas suite in general + Lazy Duchess ones, but if I need to choose JUST ONE I'll go with DebugEnabler just for the item spawn function and the shifting up/down walls without Decorator's Best Friend (which I like a lot too)

First Expansion/Game Pack/Stuff Pack? I... found this game in the seven seas so I got them all at the same time...

Do you pronounce live mode like aLIVE or LIVing? The former - never figured out people considered the "live" from "live mode" as a verb until NOW.

Who’s your favorite sim that you’ve made? Melody Hills, the cute Black girl with natural hair I often put on my previews (she's the youthful one often with protective hairstyles). Minato Hawthorne (half-Japanese guy with glasses and blue eyes that often goes for my more... twinky stuff) and Lise Béranger (the one with the really pretty long curly hair) are close runner-ups.

Have you made a simself? Yeah, but I ended up not liking it (not a case of self-consciousness) and deleted her x_x

Which is your favorite EA hair color? Eeeeh the dark brown is useable I guess...

Favorite EA hair? NONE, I HATE THEM ALL

Favorite life stage? I readily admit that I'm part of the Millennial Party Simulator school of playing and 90% of my Sims are Young Adults.

Are you a builder or are you in it for the gameplay? I don't BUILD per se, all my lots are downloaded, some build tools are still a bit intimidating, but I rotate between (re-)decorating and playing.

Are you a CC creator? A converter, actually XD Quite balanced between objects and CAS.

Do you have any Simblr friends or a Sim Squad? I'm closer-ish with the Brazilian TS3 Simblr guys and EAxis 4t3 converters but to call it a squad is a tad too much! But I'm on friendly terms with the folks from the Creator's Cave server, yes.

Do you have any sims merch? / A Youtube for sims? Nope and I don't intend to.

How has your “Sims style” changed throughout your years of playing? I actually find very difficult to let go of my powerplaying and shift to a more roleplayer style :P THAT SAID, in my decorating I finally found a balance between bare and overcluttered!

Who’s your favorite CC creator? it's a secret to no one that @joojconverts and I have very similar styles and we often suggest and beta test stuff for each other, and @bellakenobi and I are friendly outside Simblr too, but to say I have a Favorite CC creator wouldn't do justice to my 28GB CC folder 8D

How long have you had Simblr? I actually wanted to make a simblr for TS2 first but it never went forward (at the time I only did some mailbox recolors that I never released), so it's older than I believe, but I started getting active in TS3 around 2017-2018 I believe?

How do you edit your pictures? I cut, resize and add text ONLY. I have no patience for extra editing.

What expansion/ gamepack is your favorite? Can't choose between Ambitions and Supernatural XD

I tag everyone!

Hope's Answer Chapter 1 (VERY Rough Draft)

(I caved and decided to post the first chapter of the new draft since I haven't shared new writing in FOREVER. This will be improved upon in the future. As always, feedback is appreciated! And thank you guys for sticking with me.)

Taglist: @dogmomwrites @inkspellangel @midnight-and-his-melodiverse @mr-writes

Every monotone beep in Kasumi’s right ear made her jump as she tried to work. Orders were flying in, and she felt like she just couldn’t keep up. While the multiple server robots were patiently waiting by the front counter with their trays outstretched, Kasumi was racing back and forth between various machines, attempting to dodge coworkers left and right as she hurried to prepare numerous drinks.

The after-5 pm rush was always the worst.

The moment Kasumi placed one order of iced coffee down onto the server tray, she was immediately pulled back to fix up three orders of fruit smoothies. Two orders of boba tea. A single order of snack cakes, all an assortment of different flavors.

And all the while, the customers seated at the tables were simply staring at the translucent holographic screens floating in front of their faces, tuning out all the noise as they mindlessly scrolled. The only time they ever tore their eyes away was when the server rolled over to their table with their requested food or drinks, thanking them once again for choosing to dine at “Happy Cat Café.”

Kasumi couldn’t help but feel a pang of jealousy. She wanted to be on the other side of the counter, blissfully sipping on a cold sugary drink while playing her favorite game. But alas, here she was – nineteen years old and forced to work.

Nearly every day, for the past six months, it was exactly the same. Always rushing around, always fulfilling orders, until it was time to head home.

It was horrifically frantic.

She finally managed to finish sending off an order of two smoothies, before another beep from her earpiece screeched for her attention. With one quick tap to the glowing blue center, the holographic screen appeared before her eyes, revealing the ever-growing list of incoming orders from tables.

Too many orders.

Way too many to keep track of.

How were her coworkers handling all this so much better than she was?!

‘Oh god…’ she thought to herself, her heart and mind both racing as she frantically searched for drink ingredients. ‘Why can’t sis just come get me already so we can-‘

She froze, coming to a halt before she could collide into one of her coworkers, nearly making the other woman spill her drink.

“Kasumi, be careful!”

“I-I…” Words stuttered out of her mouth before her mind could fully comprehend her own thoughts. “I just-”

“We can’t afford another mess right now. You know that, right?”

Kasumi took a breath, failing to calm her shaky hands. “Yeah, I know. I just… I’m sorry-”

The earpiece continued to insistently beep for her attention. As if everything didn’t sound loud enough already.

“Sorry isn’t going to clear these orders.”

Averting her eyes from her coworker, Kasumi hurriedly stepped towards the blender and tapped her earpiece to bring up the list of orders once again. But as she tried to slow her breathing, all the words blurred and became jumbled together in a matter of minutes.

She needed air.

Kasumi quickly glanced over her shoulder. All of her coworkers were currently preoccupied, and none of the customers were looking in her direction.

Okay, good. It was safe.

Taking a breath, she looked down at her hands before closing her eyes. In a matter of seconds, pale brown skin grew blue and translucent, as did the rest of her body and her clothes. She stepped towards the wall in front of her, moving through it as easily as a knife through butter. She didn't stop until the sunlight hit her eyes once she finally entered the alleyway.

Seeing no one else around, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Finally…" Her body became opaque once more as she leaned back against the wall, closing her eyes to catch her breath. It was much quieter here. She only needed a few minutes to calm herself down.

It was hard keeping such an ability of her’s hidden. Kasumi had had a few close calls in the past, but had never been explicitly seen using magic in public.

'It's for the better,' Her sister Mjoll always told her. 'You don't know what people will do to you if they learn that magic exists.'

She'd never questioned Mjoll’s judgement, as her sister always seemed to be right about things, supposedly from personal experience. So Kasumi was always careful whenever she tried to use her abilities.

She didn't want to take any risks. But once again, it seemed to Kasumi that no one had noticed a thing.

At least, until a sudden noise from within the alleyway made her jump.

She turned her head in the direction of the noise, not noticing anything at first. But after a moment, she glimpsed the movement of a shadow on the wall.

Holding her breath as she waited, Kasumi hid one hand behind her back. Focusing her magic towards her fingertips, she envisioned a small knife in her mind. This caused a faint glow to appear between her collarbones, which she hurried to cover up with her work apron. In a matter of seconds, a small blue knife was in her hand, and she wrapped her fingers around the hilt, gripping it tightly.

"...H-hello?" She called out, her voice wavering. Had she been spotted earlier when moving through the wall?

Her words were only met with an uncomfortable silence. After a few seconds, the shadow on the wall moved again, this time out of sight. Kasumi held her breath, waiting to see if anyone would reveal themselves.

But it seemed that whoever was there had ultimately left.

Anxiety crawled along Kasumi’s back like a spider. She pondered what exactly she should do, when her earpiece suddenly began beeping again, catching her off-guard that she jumped again. She groaned, the back of her head hitting the wall again.

Right. If she didn't get back inside soon, she wouldn't hear the end of it from her coworkers.

So Kasumi quickly allowed her body to turn transparent once more. With a sigh, she stepped back through the wall, and was soon once again met with the cafe's pale pink walls, black and white checkerboard floor, and cute cat decor.

Her eyes scanned both the seating area and the drink-making stations, her body turning back to normal only once the coast was clear.

Turning back to the blender, Kasumi tapped her earpiece to bring up the orders. But as she worked, she couldn’t help but glance nervously out the windows that looked outside towards the busy streets of Tokyo.

"It was just nothing, right?" She asked herself.

Unfortunately, she didn't believe her own words. Something felt different about today.

It felt… wrong.

OK so the image isn’t that important or great but i’ve been really obsessed with the song Birthday Suit by Cosmo Sheldrake and i cannot get the idea out of my head about King Rentheking’s story arc aligning with the lyrics-

(the photo is just like focus because originally i wanted to do little drawings for each of the lyrics sort of animatic style but then i couldn’t finish it in one sitting and i decided i didn’t need to finish it) so instead of doing that, i’m gonna just go through the lyrics and what part/ why i think it aligns with the storyyyy thus far!

“Weighed down by morning, in my birthday suit” - sun rise over the crastle, ren wearing his lil crown and big ol king cloak -> i think the crown and power/ responsibility has been a lot of pressure on ren and i think he is scared and desperate, he’s pulling last ditch efforts to try to live up to what bdubs accidentally(?) cursed him to

“lift up the evening, just for a while” - down in the vault w/ impulse setting up the costume party and secretly leading everyone down there -> it’s almost like accidentally a flex from impulse- he has more power than the king! it seems absurd but bare w/ me; he got everyone to conjugate together, no one actually listens to the king, impulse just gave out the kings diamonds full stop- ya see where i’m going? and some of that is ren’s own fault, like in rens desperation he is further severing his connection with his people

”backwards, upside down, and inside out. so hold on or we’ll all fall down” everyone scattering like that one scene in ratatouille all fleeing in different directions -> they all left cause they know they were doing something they weren’t supposed to and they didn’t want to be get caught. ren is a bit of a tyrant, they knew what would happened if they stayed. the ‘hold on or we’ll al fall down’ is so HDJFJJSJFJJS to me because there is something to lose on both sides almost?? like for ren, if he goes too far he’s going to be overthrown so he has to hold on to whatever he can to retain power because he’s lost support and credibility. like he broke the one thing he was hired to fix. but for everyone else, they’re already getting the short straw! they have no money anymore with rens hoarding and the stupid royal emeralds, the laws are getting more and more absurd, like what else are they supposed to do? they have to be strong and fight ren because if they don’t, he’s just going to keep digging himself into a hole and dragging everyone down w/ him.

”oh, heave the oceans too, won’t you?” like just imagine all the billboards proclaiming the laws -> more just an idea of everyone (even rens own team) becoming fed up with his bs. just like ‘oh ofc, we won’t afk or do anything apparently! great!’ just sarcasm hhh

“i’ll keep my ears on” doc chillin in his garden in the perimeter -> i love how doc literally was just like ‘no’ and made his own country- its wonderful and we love him for it <3 but yeah just doc silently overhearing everything happening and being glad he’s not a part of it and doesn’t have to abide by rens laws

“i’ll keep my eyes open” either watcher grian overseeing it all from his lil cave w/ the rift OR ren paranoid and nervously checking behind him -> ren knows he’s gonna be shut down soon, with the soup group and everything, that’s why he’s becoming so desperate. everywhere it seems someone wants his head on a stake

”i’ll keep my legs in sight and wait, ‘til we all fall down” a possible future scenario, ren being beheaded as a formal gesture of his finality -> ‘til we all fall down’ except it’s ren’s head in a basket- i think everyone is just WAITING until ren falls down and no more king!! c’mon we all know how positions of power work on the hermitcraft server smh

alright and that concludes these ramblings of a lunatic!! of you read through that, tysm!! i’ve had these thoughts for a while and i’m glad to have a space to voice ‘em. but genuinely so many props to ren for pulling this off??? like it’s very hard to play the villain and be someone that everyone hates and is wishing for their demise but he does it so well and continues to put in that one of a kind effort and flair that we’ve come to known X) UGH I JUST LOVE THIS SERIES SO MUCH JEJJFJSJCJJDJFJ OKK BYEEE AND IF YOU EVER WANNA TALK TO ME ABOUT HERMITCRAFT PLS REACH OUT LOL -jeddie

Yeah, okay, I give up, you won, yuppie for you people-

After months and months of procrastinating (and miserably watching animatics and drooling over fanart) I have finally caved in!

I started watching the Dream SMP streams...

(And jesus christ, I'm starting to understand why everyone in this fandom is so lowkey deranged - it's to match the characters :D)

((but seriously, wth people, what even is that server???))

Anywayyyyyy, I just finished watching the End of S1 (Pogtopia vs Manburg) and while that mess of a finale deserves a post of its own, for now, Imma just going to leave the main things of the series(?) that have stuck out to me the most thus far:

Tubbo has been my favorite ever since he first got to the server

He’s so sweet and kind, and able to bring such lightness to some of the blander scenes

But then he also has these random moments where he just becomes chaos is fun! :D, or throws these sharp af one-liners that make everyone go “ohhhhhh” - they never fail to make me laugh my ass off

Basically, he’s excellent, and if no one else, I really wanna see where his character goes after S1

(why the fuck did he become the president tho?? who thought putting a traumatized teen in charge was a good idea??)

The Hamilton quotes and references sprinkled all over by Willbur and Tommy are like oxygen for me

It's ridiculous how a couple of Minecraft discs hold so much goddamn power in this server - but like, in a good way

Everyone is just so afraid of Techno and Dream, it’s so funny to me

Every time Dream came to the server, everyone just stopped what they were doing and got on high guard

Meanwhile, Techno’s monotone voice and constant dry, witty commentary made him sound so much more approachable and human, no wonder the others let their guard down around him!

I gotta say tho, I barely watched any stream of Dream or the players closest to him (I watched mostly Tommy&Gang POV), so his character is very cloudy and uncertain to me

Tommy and Schlatt, for what little interaction they had together, had some of the funniest “filler” streams with one another (when Schlatt first joins and is banned, and later when Tommy is building his roller-coaster)

Fundy is so freaking sweet, his streams and videos are some of my faves to watch

Jschlatt’s voice had already won me over the first time I heard him, and yet the more I heard it whenever he was in character, the more my love for his voice grew

Speaking of Schlatt, I genuinely adored his character so much. I almost wish he hadn’t died, he was a great villain in my opinion

Also, his ship name with Quackity is “Pumpkin Husbands” and I find it unreal those two got such a cute ship name

There are so many goddamn inside jokes like I feel no matter what I do, how many streams I watch, or comments I read, there will always be a joke or a passing comment I won't understand

Like a game with way too many variable endings, so many that one person can't play through them all

But uhhhhh yeah, overall I gotta admit it’s been fun, I’ll probably continue watching for a bit longer (there go my plans to catch up to One Piece anytime soon- )

Finally caved in and made a sideblog to post more personal stuff

So uh hi! I'm just a regular guy who likes to reblog pics of cute 'mon and food

iiiiim pretty bad at interacting sometimes, just have very low social spoons, you know how it is

Unovan. Galarian/paldean bilingual

He / him

Adult

Yeah =]

OOC

there's not a lot to be said, uh.

I'm 23, he/him and gay

adult topics might be discussed but it won't turn straight out explicit ya feel? (no fucking and sucking on main) if something is tagged as #mdni it means minors do not interact. I'm an adult and really uncomfortable with that.

if you'd like me to tag anything specific let me know

open to interactions but a bit scared of actual rp and I most likely won't participate in big events, but will post stuff regarding a small rp server I am in with close friends

uhhh let me know if you want my main blog

Just a chill blog with low/no stakes

all food images are tagged with #food

#pkmn irl #pokemon irl #((let's try this again lmao))#((feel free to interact! just - both the character and me share very low social spoons sorry <=]))

Hi! I’m Fox!

Fox Lore Speedrun? Ran away from home, was raised by a zoroark, ate raw meat, joined Interpol when I was ten, lost my zoroark parent at sixteen, gained a team of pokemon that I would commit crime for, Gained a discord server I’d fly across the ocean for, moved to Unova, quit Interpol, moved in with my dad Norman and my sibling Isla @darktypetrauma (Hi Isla!!), found out I never actually worked for Interpol, finally grieved for all I lost, started healing, and now I’m here!

My gender is like. Zoroark. I’m a zoroark and my sense of self is ever changing. My pronouns are she/her they/them it/its paw/paws pup/pups fluff/fluffs bite/bites pounce/pounceself ♥️/♥️s 🔅/🔅s and I’ll probably collect more.

My Pokémon! Oh, my babies!

Grapple the braviary. I’ve used she/her for her since I met her and she’s fine with it… apparently braviary are all male but she doesn’t care, so?

Storm the Hisuian Samurott- I was raising this guy because scientists wanted to see how a hisuian Pokémon raised by one human as opposed to a team would develop. That’s why I was stationed in Sinnoh for a year. Which allowed me to meet a lot of other Pokémon too! Storm is a big softie, he doesn’t really battle but he likes being around in the same room as family.

Crumb Cake the riolu that hates everything. He’s my friend my buddy! Well. Not really. I rescued him from a hording situation and for months and months I made no progress. He hated me, he hated my other pokemon. But then I found a stray glameow, and then an egg, and he started opening up. Now he lets me touch him, and even if he doesn’t like any other people he let me take him to the Pokémon center and. He’s a level 64 riolu. I don’t know how he got that strong but for now I’m learning how to battle so he can get his energy out safely!

Crime the Weaville. I met him when he stole my knife. Nowadays he has a prop knife and settled down with…

Punishment the Sneasler. She’s pretty mellow, and adjusted really well to modern life. She’s one of two Pokémon I ended up with while helping investigate a shady hisuian revival group.

Virtute the Hisuian Zoroark. They’re my baby. Named after Virtute the purrloin explains her departure. They were verrrry scared to be in modern times at first, but slowly, slowly, they’ve adjusted. Nowadays they’re interested in battling! And they evolved!!!

Pudding the glameow. I found her when she was probably a few weeks old, and she’s part of why Crumb settled down. She’s verrry close to the other little ones, including

Madoka the togepi! I found her egg in the snow on a walk, had a breakdown, ran barefoot in the snow to the nearest Pokémon center, and took care of the egg. She’s a cute little baby who likes blowing razz berries at the people she loves.

Blossom and Breeze the hisuian growlithe. Adopted from the shelter my long lost twin’s mom works at. Breeze is bigger and he has a twisted paw, Blossom is smaller and she’s higher energy

Lake the shiny zoroark. Yeah so one night I was trying to bully uncle Emmet and found him in the woods. It wasn’t him. Lake needed medical care and used illusions to lure me to it. I took them to a center and they followed me home. They don’t have a pokeball.

Cheri and Sitrus, drakloak and her dreepy. Cheri crawled into my tent while camping, made me throw it until it brought back a second, shiny dreepy, Sitrus. Cheri evolved, and Sitrus sits on her head!

I’m a cane user, and. I guess? I count as disabled? I was in a cave in, and injured and that injury gets in the way of. Normal living. And that’s what disabled means. I’m still coming to terms with it but it’s the truth.

(OOC: blanket “pretending a fictional media is real” warning for this blog. Main blog is @stormcloudsandshadows so I’ll follow back from there.)

#NOT DDS FORMAT MASS EFFECT 3 EXPLORER OFFLINE#

Disabling Origin in-game overlay (in Origin's settings for installed programs). Switch to using my neighbor's internet for a few minutes, just to check if that did anything (and yes, we did set up the ports, but no difference).Ĥ. Log out of Origin, shut down Origin, doubleclick the desctop shortcut for ME3 (was hoping this might result in somehow forcing an activation, but nope).Ģ. I've attempted a few more things, without any success.ġ. (Well, that or hoping that this is one of those things that automagically fixes itself by tomorrow).Ī past case of getting jerked around by EA support makes me reluctant to go through that circus from hell again, but if there's truly no other options then I guess I'll have to give the old sulphuric pits a go - but yeah, here's to hoping that someone else has some other option that I haven't given a go yet. If anyone has any suggestions on what might be causing this, that I haven't already checked, or any solutions, then I'm hoping to read about it tomorrow. I've been at it for plenty of hours now, with just one break in the evening where I had dinner, then played some ME1 and ME2 just to see something different on my screen. long story short, the only thing I haven't yet tried is wearing nothing but a loincloth while doing some crazy dance to appease some obscure imaginary gods. I've tried cache flushing of my internet connection, cache cleaning of Origin, file repair options.

#NOT DDS FORMAT MASS EFFECT 3 EXPLORER MANUAL#

I've tried several restarts and even a clean re-install (with manual removal of some leftover files and folders) of Origin.Īfter that, I've tried simply disabling my firewall and anti-virus suite. I've made certain that in my router there are no issues with closed ports, I've made sure that ME3 is allowed in Windows Firewall. Trying to log in with my Origin account through the ME3 splash screen, it only leads to a message saying that I need to check my internet connection, or that possibly the servers aren't available. Restarting from within Origin the splash screen shows that the game isn't linked to an online account - though I'm definitely logged into Origin. The "retry" button remains grayed out and non-clickable.

#NOT DDS FORMAT MASS EFFECT 3 EXPLORER OFFLINE#

I've also been googling, and I don't recall Google having some offline internet search option, though they might some day have one for April 1st.

#NOT DDS FORMAT MASS EFFECT 3 EXPLORER PC#

Hitting the button to activate the product key only goes through the rotating splash screen, then gives a message that my PC is offline - which it isn't I'm logged into Origin and I've been able to read through the first 10 pages of this board so I'm pretty sure that my PC is connected to the internet. I had hoped to play it in the afternoon, then shifted to hoping to play it in the evening, then shifted to hoping I'd be able to play it before midnight, but it refuses to activate. Today I finally caved in and, through Origin, purchased Mass Effect 3 (N7 Digital Deluxe edition, PC platform).Įverything downloaded just fine (though very slow), installed just fine.

The Infinity AU

hello hermitcraft enjoyers! i am here dropping some work i’ve begun doing on an AU idea. i am warning you all, i am not a writer and this is not what i typically do so I apologize for any of my mistakes.

it still needs to get fleshed out a lot, so i’m very open to ideas/asks about it to get the ol’ brain going.

Here’s the context/basic overview:

Do you remember the Infinity Snapshot? If not, I’ll give you a rundown. It was a 1.16 snapshot made as an April Fools joke. It allowed you to use a specific bookshelf to get books that could be thrown into a portal to make it transport you to a completely new and randomized dimension. Every dimension was different, and all of them were weird and absurd twists on regular Minecraft. The blocks would sometimes be different, the mobs would be different, etc. It was a very wildly fun “update”.

This AU revolves around that Snapshot. The idea that somehow, in some way (maybe by the demands of some certain... Watchers) this snapshot snuck its way into Hermitcraft. These books started appearing around various places. In this “section” of the AU, we follow Doc, Ren, Grian, and Impulse. Doc comes across one of these books and it’s written in this scrawling Galactic text. Grian is the closest person Doc knows who can read Galactic fluently, so he goes to find him. After they have a brief discussion, they decide to go find Xisuma and ask him about the books. The two of them do a thorough days-long investigation and find X to be completely missing from the server. Even after talking to the other Hermits, it’s concluded that X has vanished. Somehow (I’m not sure how yet), Grian, Impulse, Doc, and Ren figure out that the books can be used on portals, and find themselves heading through to the other side, hoping that whatever they might come across will lead back where Xisuma is.

I have other ideas swimming around, but that’s all the context you need for this little blip of writing! Again, as a warning, I’m not really a writer so this isn’t my specialty. BUT, I do want to make art concepts for this AU in the future. Anyways, enjoy my stuff:

Impulse’s vision blurs as the world around him shifts. With portals that enter the Nether or End, the transition would feel smooth. A clear gradient from one atmosphere to another, never too abrupt to feel uncomfortable. This was a very different feeling. The air itself felt like static, glitching and spiking into sensations on his skin. One second, it was hot and the next it was below freezing. His being felt disjointed and awkward, too fluid but simultaneously too stiff. It was paradoxical and wrong. And it all happened a split second too soon when suddenly he was sent flying out the other side, landing face-first into a floor of blue sand.

Impulse let out a low wince as he raised and rubbed his head. He heard the collective groan of the others around him, a final vwoop of the portal as Ren was the last to stumble through. The blue sand… or maybe it was concrete? No, he knew this texture. It was definitely sand. Too fine to be the powdered concrete material he was familiar with. The hue was a deep indigo blue and seemed repelled by his skin. Sand would normally get in all the wrong places and stick like hell, but this stuff acted like it was eager to get off his body. Impulse came to his feet, his vision was still swimming a bit but he was able to glance at his surroundings. They had come out from the portal into a cave, lit wall-to-wall by cracks of shining silver veins. The cavern itself was fairly small and narrow, forking off into split paths. He didn’t see a way up in view.

“Is everyone alright?” Impulse asked, turning towards the other three.

“Yeah, everything is fine here.” Doc replied, brushing himself off as he stood. Similar nods and noises of approval came from both Ren and Grian.

“Where are we?” said Grian, he wandered over towards the cave’s wall and gently touched the shining veins, “this isn’t like anything I’ve ever seen before.”

Doc hummed thoughtfully, “It seems like that book took us to some new realm. Like another version of the Nether or End. We did come through a portal, and the portal’s color was different after we tossed the book into it. Maybe that had something to do with it?”

“That might be true, but I hadn’t heard a single word about a new realm or anything like that in development.” Impulse remarked, “And I’m sure X would’ve said something before any sort of server update. Surely he must’ve activated something? Maybe he loaded in some sort of modpack without realizing it?”

Out of the corner of Impulse’s eye, he watched as Ren pulled up his communicator and tapped on the screen, “Uh, guys- I think we might have a problem.” He tapped the screen with a bit more concern, “Are your communicators also busted? I was sure to charge mine before we went in.”

The three others pulled up their devices, all of them showed a black screen.

Grian, with a bit of a concern edged in his voice, turned back towards the portal, “Guys… I think we should get out of here as soon as possib--”

His voice was interrupted by the ear-splitting sound of glass breaking. It sounded distorted and warped, but it was still a sound they were all familiar with.

The portal had shattered.

Soonyoung: Until the Ender Time

Characters: Soonyoung x gn reader (feat wonwoo because soonyoung isn’t tech savvy)

Genre/warnings: idol au, fluff, humor, stuff about minecraft, soonyoung dies in game at the end lmao

Word count: 1,477

Summary: Since he can’t be there for your birthday, Soonyoung set aside time for a virtual date in Minecraft.

a/n: happy birthday @neverknewgrey2016 i love you!!!!💕💕💕

“I don’t have all night, Soonyoung.”

“Look, this is hard, alright?”

You snorted, “Loading into the server is hard?”

“Yes, _____!”

Finally, Minecraft-Soonyoung appeared in front of you before spamming crouch, “I did it!”

“It’s about time,” you continued to tease him.

You could hear the pout in his voice, “Y’know I could just get off. There are other things I could be doing at 6am. I woke up early for you, _____.”

It was true that Soonyoung had specifically set aside time for you. Despite the 11-hour time difference, your boyfriend had planned to wake up early that morning to go on a “date” for your birthday. So the two of you got into a discord call to play Minecraft together for said date.

Did you think it would go smoothly? Considering Soonyoung’s luck with technology, it was a longshot. But at least you were spending time with him on your birthday.

“Okay, okay, I’ll be nice,” you laughed. “What’s first?”

“Okay, follow me.”

He led you behind the house the two of you -- well, mostly you -- had built together into the forest, to a clearing not too far away that the two of you had gone through plenty of times. But instead of the typical flowers and plants, there was now some sort of rollercoaster sitting in the middle of it, and it seemed to go all the way over to a mountain that must’ve been over a hundred blocks away.

“Holy shit,” you gasped, “did you build this?”

“Uh...yeah...” he replied slowly.

It was Wonwoo.

“Get in,” he told you, Minecraft-Soonyoung looking at the mine cart and then back at you.

You got into the cart and Soonyoung got into the one behind it before pressing a button. The two of you shot up the track and off toward the mountain. The farther you went, the more you saw of the track. You realized the track actually went up around the mountain until it hit the top.

“How long did this take?” you asked.

“Won-- Uh, I worked on this for a while,” he told you. “But tell me about your day. How was your birthday so far?”

So you told him how you celebrated with friends and family while the two of you went up the mountain. He listened intently, giving “mhmm”s and “uh-huh”s and chuckling here and there.

Once at the top of the mountain, your cart hit a piece of wood at the end of the track to stop.

Both of you got out and Soonyoung said, “This way.”

He led you to a hole in the mountain that went straight down. You could see some torches but you still knew better than to just jump into a hole with no end that you could see.

You turned to face him, “Babe?”

“Yeah?”

“Are you sure this is safe?”

He sighed deeply, “______, I wouldn’t just drop you straight to your death on your birthday.”

‘Also,’ you mentally reminded yourself, ‘Wonwoo probably had a hand in this.’

“So I just...go in?” you asked.

“Yeah.”

So you took the leap of faith. You walked to the hole and let yourself fall in. You held your breath until you landed safely in a small body of water that was surrounded by squares of glass.

You were inside a man-made cave that was perfectly square. The place was lit with glow stone and there were things places all around the small cave and on the walls.

“Welcome to the Shrine of The Love Of My Life,” Soonyoung proudly announced as he got out of the water and walked over to the signs lined up that read ‘The Shrine of The Love Of My Life’.

“Oh my god,” you giggled. “Why did you make a shrine for me?”

“I saw a fan made a Seventeen shrine in Minecraft once, so I was like ‘that would be cool to make for _____,’ so I did.”

“When did you see that?”

“It was on Twitter not too long ago. Anyway, look around!”

And you did. You laughed at almost every single thing put up. There was ‘_____’s armor’ which was the diamond boots and helmet you wore on a mannequin, ‘______’s diary’ which was just a book on a pedestal that Soonyoung must’ve wrote in because it was just all mushy stuff about him, and ‘______’s femur’ which was literally just a bone in a frame.

There were plenty of other items that Soonyoung’s imagination turned into different things of yours, and each of them had you gasping for air and wiping your eyes from how hard you were laughing.

“You might’ve put too much effort into this,” you told him.

“I spent an embarrassing amount of time on this, yeah,” he agreed.

“It’s amazing, though, I have to give you that.”

He giggled, “Thank you! But this isn’t even the best part!”

He had another track built to take you up out of the shrine and underneath your house. The two of you walked the few blocks back up to the trap door he had put in the floor of your house, where you saw the entire place was covered in flowers and bees.

You gasped before squealing, “Bees!”

“You don’t understand how long it took trying to lure them in here,” he said, sounding tired. “I died to bees so many times and then Wonwoo had to-- I mean, I realized I could just spawn them in here.”

You didn’t even point out his slip-up, you were too wrapped up in the flowers and bees.

“I also got us a new pet,” he told you, walking over to the corner where someone had built a tiny aquarium into the wall, and a lone axolotl was swimming around in it. Again, you gasped and went over to look at it. When your curser went over it, the name ‘Harold’ appeared. “I named him Harold because Jun told me to -- he said happy birthday, by the way.”

“Thanks,” you laughed. “Did you spawn him, too?”

“Babe, do you think I know where the hell to find an axolotl?” he asked before scoffing. “I don’t know what kind of biome that thing lives in.”

After admiring the house renovations a little longer, Soonyoung said he had one last surprise for you. He brought you up the ladder that went to the roof before bringing you over to the edge where the sun was setting.

“Hang on, I have to answer a text,” he said absentmindedly before you heard him set his phone down on his desk and clear his throat. “_____, I know I couldn’t be with you for your birthday because of schedules and stuff, but I hope you still had fun hanging out this way.”

“Of course I did, baby!” you grinned.

“Soon, we can actually be together and I’ll take you out on a real date again,” he promised.

“Just please don’t fill my actual house with bees.”

“No promises!”

You noticed that in the bottom left, something had changed that wasn’t there.

w0nu joined the game

“Uh...Soonyoung...?” you asked slowly.

<hoshiii> now

“Look at the sunset,” he instructed.

You focused back on the horizon as the sun went down. Then you saw fireworks exploding in the sky -- presumably set off by Wonwoo.

“Baby, look,” Soonyoung said.

You turned to face him before he threw a cake at your face and you picked it up in your inventory. You let out a laugh, but it was somehow really sweet. All of it was sweet. He took the time and effort -- and so did Wonwoo -- to set all of this up and then to even go through with it and do all of this for you.

“Happy birthday, lovebug!” he cheered. “I love you forever and always.”

“I love you forever and always!” you giggled “I wish I could kiss you.”

He made a very exaggerated kissing sound as he moved closer to you.

But something interrupted the moment: the very familiar sound of an enderman appearing. You looked toward the noise to see the tall figure standing on your roof with you, and you let out a surprised yelp and looked away.

“I’ll take care of it,” Soonyoung promised before rushing the enderman. “Hey, don’t ruin _____’s birthday!”

He started hitting the enderman with his sword, but the fight was short-lived since Soonyoung was never good at games. Soonyoung was killed, leaving all his belongings behind.

As you burst out laughing, Soonyoung shouted, “Motherfu--”

The familiar sound of the call ending could be heard in your headphones, making you laugh harder.

A moment later, Soonyoung was calling your phone.

“Hello?”

“I accidentally unplugged my PC.”

You weren’t sure how that was possible, but you knew that was somehow what happened.

You giggled, “I love you, Soonyoung. Don’t ever change.”
