"Ah, yes. Me, my beloved Prefect and my lookalike tsum from another dimension."

Twst Boys and their reactions to you cuddling their tsum instead of them Headcanons

part 1 part 2 part 3

Riddle Rosehearts

He's baffled.

There has to be a rule about this somewhere!

Yes. The Headmage said he must look after the tsum until it can get back to where it came from and he will, but this is too much.

Does this creature have no manners?!

It must know the two of you are dating. It might even have its own version of you waiting for him to return!

And yet.

Here it is, hogging all your attention as you hold it close to yourself.

You're not even facing him!

And no. He is not crossing his arms and pouting.

Cater Diamond

He thought the tsum was pretty nice at first.

He's been forced to reconsider.

Cater would love to take a picture of you with his tsum. For his eyes only so don't you worry~

You must look so cute snuggled with the plush!

And it looks like him!

It really would be adorable!

If only you weren't facing away from him, your face presumably buried in the soft tummy of his lookalike.

.......

This is not fair. You should be cuddling him! He's your boyfriend! Not that overgrown bean.

He secretly hopes the tsum falls off the bed in the middle of the night.

Leona Kingscholar

What do you mean you prefer that stupid plush??? He's right here!

Very much not happy. No matter how cute you look with his tsum in your arms.

He tries to pull the tsum out of your arms.

Tsum Leona is not letting go.

They lock eyes.

You're pretty sure they're glaring at each other.

.....

Fine. He'll let the tsum have this. He's not gonna risk an accident just because that bean is unwilling to let you go.

You're gonna have his tail on you tho.

Jack Howl

Why are you hugging his tsum like that?

Why is his tsum looking like a puppy getting affection?

He's getting second hand embarrassment.

It's not because he would like to be held like that by you. It's because....

Uh. Because...

I mean! He's a wolf! His tsum is a wolf! It should be a little more... dignified.

He's not needy like that!

And he didn't agree to this. The tsum has not business being in his space like this. Cuddling with his s/o....

He keeps looking over to you and his tsum. He's snatching that bean out of your arms at first light. They're gonna go for a run.

Floyd Leech

So this could go one of two ways:

Either he's annoyed and tries to snatch the offending plush from you, which will end up in a fight between the two.

Or

He thinks it's hilarious and that you look cute like that.

He still wants his cuddles tho.

What's Floyd to do in this situation?

He just plops himself over you and the tsum. He's letting all of his weight crush you.

Lucky(?) for you it's only his torso crushing you.

Good luck.

Epel Felmier

He's finally allowed to have a sleepover and this happens!

You've got to be kidding him.

Please tell him this is a joke. He's glaring daggers at the tsum.

I mean.... He's a strong and independent man! He doesn't need those cuddles.

Yes. Yes he does.

He's fine!

He keeps glaring at the happy tsum in your arms.

It's mocking him.

There's no way it's not.

He tries to snatch it out of your arms, but makes the mistake of going for the head.

He gets bitten by his tsum.

Sebek Zigvolt

First Malleus-sama, now this!

This creature must be taught respect!

HOW DARE IT JUMP INTO YOUR ARMS SO SHAMELESSLY!!!!

WHO DOES IT THINK IT IS?!

A KNIGHT TO MALLEUS SHOULD NOT BEHAVE THIS WAY!

UNBELIEVABLE!

Sebek gets into a one-sided screaming match with his tsum.

By the end of it he's almost in tears. How dare this glorified plush bean steal your affections away from him!

Tsum Sebek ignores all of this. It is far too preoccupied with enjoying your pets and hugs.

You attempt to console Sebek by promising it's only for tonight.

He does not look consoled.

When she made it to the warehouse area, She accidentally Bumped into A young Motor Biker name "Li Yunxiang", in her eyes she saw Nezha in him But then one of His Buddies picked Her up by the scruff and said…

[ironcade]

i see posts being like "don't see content you want? write it yourself" and like people scare me but also brain worms do brain worm and i want to try and contribute to this collection of people that obsess over men from a shitty war simulator so

fantasy/medieval au concept. somewhat inspired by fics here and ao3 i consume without mercy but with my own twist i guess.

john price, the reluctant king of a country that placed him on the throne after earning the mantle of "hero of the people" alongside his trusted men and knights. he slayed a great evil, bringing light to the corruption of his predecessor and got granted the crown without a second thought to his personal preference. therefore, he accepted the burden no one else could take, bringing with him the three men who would always have his back. they became his advisors, his generals, and the men that too carried the weight of the empire. simon riley, the ghost of manchester. john(johnny) mactavish, or soap, as he is so lovingly dubbed. kyle garrick, but known to most as gaz because johnny thinks he's so funny when he's drunk. the four of them, plus a few others who offer valuable skills and intense loyalty to john make up the leadership of the kingdom.

yet their neighbor and, historically at one point, other half was a country that could not be forgotten. where john and his kingdom are known more for the raw strength of their military and the development of an economy built strongly on working the land, the other is more of a country for the seafaring and trade. they have built themselves up based on their relationships with the sea and their bonds with other kingdoms. they enrich themselves with the goods of others, building coin on contracts and trades. through them, a continent receives everything it needs to thrive and in turn, tariffs are levied. ports are so important after all.

anyways, something happens that requires recompense to be paid. a duke dies under mysterious circumstances or an insult in an ongoing trade war slights john/his people so deep that someone must pay. and, what better way to earn the forgiveness of a king than to dangle the promise of a spouse/political prisoner?

yet, the great queen could not spare her daughters or sons. no. however, the child of a duke? why that would be of equal value for they have some royal blood.

even better, there is a duke that has not one, but two children he can spare. why not the sickly second born? the one that would never amount to much and would only be seen as a resource drain given their incredibly poor health? ah pettiness at its finest.

that was how our dear, beloved reader finds themselves in a carriage, on their way to meet their new husband and captor. there was little they could do, for the state of their health was poor and their father could not fight the order of a queen.

yet, things are not always as they seem. for unbeknownst to most, reader isn't truly some sick and withering noble. for many years ago, the child of a duke was born frail and weak, that is true. however, the duke and duchess refused to let their poor, innocent baby wither away in agony until death granted them mercy. no. instead, they dared to bargain with creatures thought to be whispers of myths and legends long since gone.

fae.

the bargain was simple. fae took children all the time. why not take theirs willingly? imbue them with magic and give them the strength to live. the duke and duchess craved so desperately for their child to live that they were fine never seeing them again, so long as they could laugh and smile and just enjoy life.

a deal goes both ways. the babe would live. in return, though?

the duke and duchess would still have their sickly child. except, fae don't give them a human. no no, don't be silly.

they give them a changeling.

chapter one

[sqtorux]

7 minutes, not in heaven just yet but still heavenly

“after death the human brain lives on for seven minutes to replay its best memories”. nanami can't help but think about what his last seven minutes would look like.

nanami had recalled you telling him about a silly trend going around about people making videos of what their presumed 7 minutes just before their complete death would be like.

as reluctant as nanami was to think of either of you dying, he finds himself pondering upon two questions: what would your and his last seven minutes look like?

one of the question was answered by you a few seconds later. “hm mine would probably be all with you, and some with my family… maybe our colleagues as well.”

at that time, it warmed his heart immensely even after knowing full well his best memories were with you too.

the other question however, wasn't answered. it was in the form of a revelation.

nanami was tired. his body and mind just barely holding onto the thin string of his duties he told himself to finish before succumbing into the lure of resting.

he was sure he was in an underground train station fighting and slashing disfigured humans with the little strength he has left but why did it also feel like dancing?

dancing? ah yes gliding through the air under the warm sunshine in … a beach? a beach in malaysia yes you had always wanted to go there with him.

the grainy sand beneath his feet and the cool air blowing through his clothes and into his skin made nanami feel like he was in paradise, just not yet though because you weren't here.

you weren't here.

suddenly he wasn't in a beach anymore. the grainy sand turned into hard concrete and the warm sunshine was replaced by luminescent artificial lights. he was no longer dancing but grasping into his cursed tool, the blood of hundreds dripping down from it.

and yet you were here. the distress and horrified expression on your face made his heart ache. nanami observed you panting in exhaustion, you must have ran.

and finally there were tears flowing from your eyes, all the way down your cheeks and onto the hard concrete floor. he wishes he could wipe them away and hold you tighter than he ever did before.

but he couldn't bring himself to move. a hand was on his shoulder, the hand of the cursed spirit who was responsible for the numerous disfigured humans he had forced himself to kill.

he called out to you meekly observing how your body forces itself to look into his eyes despite freezing in place.

“i’d always save the last dance for you.” he hears himself say. he wanted to make things right and apologize profusely for ever letting you cry so painfully like this, especially over him.

“i don't think i have 7 minutes.”

mahito’s idle transfiguration would've allowed some level of consciousness to the humans he disfigured but nanami wasn't just a human. he was a sorcerer and neither was he disfigured.

“... 7 seconds.” and then he was gone.

the world was never fair. it was always ruthless and ugly but amidst that, it was also kind. kind enough to let you meet nanami.

but in a moment like this it felt like the world was purposely allowing you to feel this way, just so it could chew you up and spit you out only to step on you and laugh at your misery.

nanami’s last 7 seconds were with you, his beloved. perhaps returning to the sandy beach with warm sunshine, playing blissfully in the sea water, its currents pushing you both a little more closer, falling in love a little more deeper.

wrote this in a haze i need u all to suffer with me. i miss kento sm i will curse gege to no end </3

[solaiced]

sukuna, public.

solace: im tew lazy to make a good presentation because the fucking files corrupted. you get this.

sukuna has a huge problem. and it involves you, his wife. the queen of curses. the problem is insignificant to you, but he won't let it go until you accept.

"sukuna, my king. i cannot accept this request. it is not only innapropriate, but also disrespectful to the humans residing inside of the court. i must decline." you explain cordially to the king, keeping your eyes downcast. who knows what would happen if you stared him down. you may be his beloved wife, but that didn't put you above everyone else. even if he made sure that you seemed untouchable.

"you dare refuse your king?" sukuna crosses his four arms over each other, looming over you sinisterly. like imposing his dominance over you.

but you really didn't want to do this. it's like a public humiliation, and you didn't even do anything that bad to warrant this punishment.

"yes," you straighten your back, swallowing your courage. still, you keep your gaze low.

sukuna laughs. laughs in your face. like you were some sort of jester, "my dear wife. you can't refuse me. but, let's say you want to. why?" ah, you hated this. the interrogations. the mocking sympathy, just to crush all hopes in all four of his gigantic hands.

nevertheless, you answered truthfully, "because it feels like punishment. i don't want to tarnish my reputation." you dare a look at his face, finding he was already staring at you with blood-red irises.

"oh?" he chuckles, showing off his dangerously sharp teeth. "this isn't a punishment, darling," he taunts you with that nickname every day since you asked him to be more affectionate. "this is a showcasing of power, and you're the key to domination."

sukuna's rough hand, damaged due to years of fighting for this position, cups your cheek and forces your eyes up.

"don't fret, my love. they will definitely be too occupied trying to not look at your body and living than whispering rumors to each other."

you wonder why he said that.

“s’kuna…” you moan, legs spread over his strong thighs. your eyes roll to the back of your head, struggling to stay still your king’s grasp.

“hm? what is it?” sukuna hums in your ear, his deep voice raspy from lust. his warmth envelopes you from behind, chest against your shivering spine.

“p-please…” his mouth curls up, smiling cruelly at what he was doing to you.

“please what, my queen? you must set an example. when asking for something, you precise what you desire, don’t you?” he coos mockingly, tongue tracing your ear cartilage as his four eyes rove over the crowd. they kept their heads low and gaze down on the floor, per his order. if one didn’t obey, their head would be cut.

“please. please let me cum. let me cum, ‘kuna,” you scratch the two forearms around your waist, only cat scratches forming.

“let’s ask the humans you adore so much, then. do you think your queen deserves to cum?” he addresses the ‘intruders’, fangs poking out while he smiles. his smile, although deadly for others, was beautiful to you. you wished you could see it. but all you could do was hope the humans were benevolent enough to say yes.

“well?” sukuna presses the crowd, bouncing you on his thigh. you’re gritting your teeth and fighting the pleasure, sharp nails digging into the flesh of his forearms. he doesn’t budge, only dismantles a person’s head, eliciting a few screams among the people.

he tightens his grip on you, brings you closer and whispers in your ear, “ask them, my wife. ask the humans you’re so fond of, if you can cum.”

your eyes flutter open, zeroing on the crowd of servants with their heads bowed down, some even covered in their comrads' blood.

you don’t think you’re ready to beg humans to cum, even if you’re more benevolent than sukuna.

you shake your head, and sukuna hums in great pleasure, like he waited for that response. and he came prepared.

he thrust up, gathering your garments with your legs and wrapping a pair of arms around the backs of your thighs, lifting you slightly off his cock.

"suuuuu-kuuuu-aaah!" you scream, and you try to grip something, anything to stabilize yourself, only for your king to hold you close to his chest.

he tuts, "if you move, you'll fall. i don't want that, my love." and a hand discreetly makes its way to your sensitive bundle of nerves. the noises you let out were high pitched, squirming on sukuna’s lap in overstimulation. denied orgasms made you irritable.

“just let me cum!” you screech, wrangling your legs out of his grasp. sukuna is shocked, to say the least. he thought you’d give in, beg mere mortals for sexual pleasure (he’d, of course, kill them after the matters), to punish you of a crime you thought was meaningless. the crime? you smiled and hugged a fucking man. unacceptable. you were his and only his.

he took out his anger on your sweet, gooey cunt, the only part of you that didn’t betray him and annoy him. he was fed up, so he killed every one in the room in the blink of an eye, not even faltering in his pussy-massacre. sukuna pushed you to the ground, grasping your hair to lift your head and mutter mocking praises in your ear.

the blunt tip of his cock almost broke your cervix open from how hard he pounded in to you, pelvis smacking your buttchecks each time he did. he had you in a fucking prone bone position. this freak!

you tried to fight him, but his cock alone reshaped your insides to the point you didn’t even know where you started and he ended. you didn’t bothering moving, just moaning at what sukuna gave you and twitching occasionally.

“fucking bitch. you’re so fucking pathetic, huh? my little cumdump of a queen taking my cock so well. don’t cum yet.” he growled in your ear, voice raspier and deeper from the ‘activity’ you were both doing. you couldn’t help but get tighter around him, whining loudly to cum.

“you can’t cum. i just told you. do you not listen to your king anymore?” sukuna accuses with a snarl, smacking your backside punishingly. the sound reverberated throughout the room and for a single moment, you wondered if uraume would come in and investigate the noise. luckily, they didn’t, so your pussy was safe from someone else’s view. for now.

“answer me, queen,” he spits venomously, “or do you not listen to me for real?”

“i’m- i’m sorryyy!” you wail, manicured nails dragging on the ground in an attempt to steady yourself.

your king trembles above you, sighing in satisfaction as he jerked once, twice, and one last time to finally spill his semen inside of your greedy cunt. his other cock coated your lower back as he did so.

as much as you wanted to follow him, you couldn’t, so you just resorted to loud sobs, the overstimulation hitting you hard.

sukuna, ever the malevolent benevolent king, caresses your cheek and wipes the tears slipping out the corners of your eyes and whispers in your ear, “cum, now.”

and you did. and it felt so so so good you couldn’t contain the noises.

so good, in fact, that you were loud enough for uraume to come in and question the noises and see sukuna laying on you half clothed.

“am i interrupting, my lord and lady?” they politely avert their eyes as they spoke.

“leave. oh, wait. bring a wash cloth.” sukuna orders, using his body to cover yours up.

“yes, my lord.” they bow lowly and leave.

“well…” the king chuckles, his four eyes now on you.

“shut up. carry me.” you grumble and wrap your arms around his neck.

[dekariosclan]

Hi! Apologies if this has already been addressed elsewhere. I do feel like I’ve seen discourse on “flaws” Gale has that could irritate his partner. But I’m curious what your take is on a scenario where Gale does something that makes his partner legitimately angry. What could that something be, and how would Gale react to seeing his partner livid at him? (I’m wondering if there would be two different reactions depending on if Gale agrees he is in the wrong vs. thinking he’s right)

Hope you have a wonderful day! 💜

Ah, lovely Anon! It’s almost Valentine’s Day, and nothing says 💘“True Love”💘 more than loving someone despite their flaws, right?? And yes, even Gale “Pixel Wizard Husband of All Time” Dekarios has some flaws!

I forgive him for each and every one he’s perfect in my eyes

So, I have actually written a *cough* rather lengthy *cough* list of what I believe Gale’s flaws would be as a partner. Please feel free to peruse that, but I MUST warn you—there is a section where Gale will destroy you with his Sad Cow Eyes 🥺, so please be prepared in advance, anon!

But regarding your specific question—which I do cover in the other post, but I’ll expand on here—yes, absolutely, I think Gale would have two very different responses to a fight, depending on whether Tav was the one ‘in the wrong’ or he was.

I talked in a recent post about how Gale, during the early parts of his romance with Tav and before the end of the game, is insecure about Tav loving him. This is because he’s still so insecure about himself. It’s not until the Epilogue that we see how far Gale’s self-esteem has come, now that he’s finally with someone who accepts his love and loves him back 100%. Finally.

So, while I believe arguments would tend to be a rare occurrence between these two lovebirds overall, I think the time when they could begin to happen is after Gale’s marriage/moving in proposal—because now, the relationship is real and secure.

And now that it’s real and secure, I think Gale could definitely let his guard down and mistakenly insert his foot in his mouth.

I mentioned in the ‘Flaws’ post that I think Gale will always have a bit of Pomposity, Messiness, and Fussiness about him. That’s all part of who he is, after all. Plus, he was living alone for over a year—it would naturally take some time for him to get accustomed to living life with a partner 24/7, even if he is overjoyed that they are with him.

I could see Gale growing frustrated with his things being rearranged or moved in his Tower. Why—his books! His (admittedly dusty) scrolls! His poisonous alchemy experiments! Why had Tav moved them off of his dining room table?! It was a perfectly legitimate place for them!

I could see there being a rather heated argument where Gale might come off a bit too arrogant, thinking—no; knowing—that he was in the right, and Tav growing very, very angry in response. So much so that Gale is a bit taken aback.

Seeing Tav livid at him would definitely hurt Gale. But if he was SURE he was in the right and Tav was not, he would be stiffly polite until an appropriate apology was offered. (Then, of course, he would be melting with relief, and, well…rather eager to make up with Tav. Passionately eager, one might say.)

However, in the argument example I gave above—I don’t think it would take Gale too long to realize that he’d been, ah—to put it rather mildly—a complete and utter ass.

I think he’d realize that Tav’s anger at him dictating ‘Rules for the Tower’ was warranted—because it was no longer ‘Gale’s Tower’.

It was their Tower. Their home.

And he would immediately swallow his pride and set out to apologize to his beloved Tav.

***

Now, Anon; I’m going to end this ask here, because I’ve fully explained in the ‘Flaws’ post how Gale reacts when he is in the wrong (and he knows it), and what his apology would look like. Just scroll down a bit until you get to the Cow Eyes—which again, I must stress, you need to get mentally prepared for—and you’ll know you’re in the right spot!

the choice that breaks us

Cha hyun su x reader

................................⁠♡⁠⌓⁠♡........................................

................................⁠♡⁠⌓⁠♡........................................

That afternoon, hyun su went out to get supplies and also to visit Ah-yi. As he left, he promised his beloved that he would return safely. All was well in his absence. Well, as well as could be expected in a post-apocalyptic world.

Yes, everything was fine. But one thing was bothering y/n. For some time she had suspected she was pregnant. She wasn't sure of anything. Maybe her hormones were playing tricks on her after a thousand and one monster attacks. Yes, that must be it. SHE COULDN'T BE PREGNANT. Of course she couldn't be.

How could she raise a child in this totally ravaged world. She thanked God every sunrise that she, hyun su, Ah-yi and yi-kyeong were still wanted. They were all she had left after all.

But just affirming that she couldn't be didn't reassure her.

Delulu IS not a solulu

Even though she'd made a promise to hyun su to stay inside and be safe. And took a map and her bag to the nearest pharmacy two blocks away. What could possibly happen to her? Death? Who knows.

"Just go, everything will be fine. You'll get your pregnancy test, find out you're not pregnant and hyun su won't find out".

On the way, she makes sure there's no monster. When she could barely see their little house, the muscle monster appeared in front of her. He grabbed her by the feet, dangling her in the air ready to devour her. She had the reflex to pull out her knife from....... je ne sais où and slice off his body-built hand. She landed flat on her stomach, bleeding and confused. Her vision was foggy, in her ears she could only hear white noise. There she lay, agonizing on the grass, looking around hoping to regain her sight.

She needed only a moment to formulate a plan. She revealed herself, running with all her being towards the nearby cliff with Musculor behind her. Just as she needed to jump, she veered to her left as quickly as possible. The monster, too slow on the trigger, falls off the cliff.

"Proteins. !!!!!" He continues to shout despite his fall.

She stands up in pain. No time to rest, she has to get home before hyun su. Resuming her walk towards the pharmacy, she didn't notice hyun su who had witnessed the scene. He had tried to help her with the monster, but he was too far away. He had shouted her name several times, begging her to come back home. But not a reaction from her. For her it was just a blur, but for him it was something else. He'd seen her looking at him, and she'd seen him clearly, but she'd just chosen to ignore his pleas, his tears and him. He was hurt.He was wounded. Why she rejects him. He ends up alone with his monster, who keeps telling him he's unworthy of love and that she hates him.

She returned home that evening without any further complications. She was prepared to see a possibly distraught Hyun Su when she got home, but she explained everything to him. Instead, she found her rooms in disarray, not her beloved. She panics and thinks that something has happened to him. She runs around looking for him.

She finds him after Ah-yi pushes Eun-yoo into the ditch and Hyun su saves her.

"Did you think I was going to give you a reunion hug? "He said.

"Yes, I hoped so." This time it was Eun-yoo who spoke.

She tries to approach him, but he stops her with the acid from his claws, once and then again before she stops.

He withdrew his claws. Finally he saw me, but he had a strange reaction. His eyes stared at me, he began to tremble, and his eyes filled with tears.

I tried to approach him gently, but like second nature, his claws stopped in front of my eyes.

"Don't you dare come near me," he said, shaking.

"Hyun Su-"

"Are you deaf? I TOLD YOU TO STAY AWAY FROM ME."

He finds himself taking Ah-yi's hand and off they go. Ah-yi is confused as to why two of the people he cares about are suddenly fighting.

Y/n returns home upset. Why did he react so aggressively? It doesn't fit.

The next morning, Y/n goes to the hospital where she heard human voices, hoping to find Hynsu.

At the entrance I meet Ah-yi, who stops me.

"Eonni! "She says and runs into my arms.

"Hey, angel. Are you okay?"

"Yes. Nuna, have you been crying? Is it because Oppa yelled at you yesterday?"

"Don't worry about it, as soon as I sort him out we'll come and visit you and your mom, okay?" I said between two kisses.

If only she knew

"Come on, back to the boat."

I continued my search for Hyun Su but ran into Eun-yoo who blocked my way.

"Don't you understand that he doesn't want you anymore?"

"Eun-yoo, get out of my way.

"No, I won't. Leave him alone for once. Always following him around like a dog, you're getting pathetic."

"You criticize my life as if yours is a good example.

"Leave him the hell alone"

"I have found the most amazing, beautiful, kind, sweet boy who makes me smile every time I see him. He makes me feel like I'm special, beautiful, worth so much, and he makes me feel loved more than ever.

And you want me to leave him with you? "

I say my last word and leave him alone in his corner.

I finally find him sitting on a bed. Just breathe, everything will be fine.

I enter the room and walk over to him. He looks at me. His eyes are not the same. He holds out his hand, and I take it hesitantly. Somehow I end up in his lap and he begins to hug me.

"Hmmm. I've always wanted to do this, but that idiot always refused".

I stand up and elicit a disappointed sigh from him.

"I want to talk to MY hyun Hyun Su."

"Are you sure? I won't be able to do anything if he takes control again.

"Yes, bring him in."

His eyes returned to normal and he turned away from me.

"What are you doing here? Haven't you hurt me enough?"

"I assure you that was not my intention, I just wanted to..."

"Just what? Get away from me? Leave me? Do you hate me so much that you'd run away in my absence? You could have at least told me to my face," he said, tears streaming from his eyes.

"No, it's not that I-"

"YOU WHAT? A MONSTER CAN HAVE FEELINGS TOO, YOU KNOW...YOUR DECISIONS HAVE REPERCUSSIONS ON THOSE AROUND YOU. I CAN'T STAND THAT YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT ME OR OUR RELATIONSHIP."

"You think I don't care? I took this risk for us."

"For us? Ah, that's a good one. Don't lie to me," he got a few things in his face, looking closer he saw a positive pregnancy test.

"If you'd at least let me finish. That's why I left yesterday. I had to be sure before I told you. "She said angrily and crying.

Meanwhile, Hyun Su's eyes shifted from her to the object in his hands. He couldn't believe his eyes.

"Yes, I took a risk yesterday and I'm sorry I worried you, but-"

"It's okay. I apologize for upsetting you like that. It's okay," he cradles her in his arms as she breaks down crying on top of him.

He lifts her chin with two fingers and kisses her passionately. A kiss of reconciliation, soft, slow and full of emotion. After a moment, they separated and looked at each other.

"Can you forgive me? I got carried away. I'm sorry."

"I'm the one who should say it, I left without telling you".

"Hey, it's okay now, let's forget about it. We don't have anything else to do now. We have to prepare for the arrival of our child."He pulled her towards the bed.

"Now come here, you must be tired after so many emotions."

They lay down, still kissing each other so lovingly

Yes eun-yoo was forgotten. AGAIN

super hero taisen gp: kamen rider #3!!!

yup, it's another one of these where i think about a dumb fun crossover movie sliiiightly too hard :D

hey i remember that kamen rider episode, though i remember it sounding a little different

hey i don't remember this scene- uh oh

a car guy!!!

oh no!!! (gel-)shocker has won!!!

history has been altered to create a timeline where (gel-)shocker won in the 1970s, which,,,,, actually sounds kinda familiar now i think about it,,, and kamen rider taisen used a big part of super hero taisen's plot,,,,, are these movies an ouroboros?

hello??? the shocker daruma?????

oh hello minami kotaro who is here

oh im going to have great fun imagining how the events of various rider shows could have possibly happened in this timeline aren't i

geldam must be fuming that they've been erased from history leaving us with just shocker again

anyway the odd one out of monsters today is schwarian, who managed to get here from like two universes (world of rx -> word of rx's version of crisis' demon realm assuming they have such a thing) removed

history modification angst

hilarious flying visit from #3

less thinking, more racing

#3 is just fucking around

oh i don't even think i need to explain how most of this timeline completely falls apart under any scrutiny

drive not knowing about this makes sense to me though, he's a cop, institution is evil so so's he

hello girizames and shiomaneking, you two are just immortal at this point i think

rip kotaro

rip jun???? throwing him out of the window instead of like,,,, shooting him was a hilarious move

gen has become my original kaijin cheetahkatatsumuri

look out drive, this monster is a combination of cheetah and snail, there's no telling what speed he'll move at!!!

even under the evil regime, he still calls it the door gun

also did like,,, the global freeze happen in this universe? because mr belt is,,, well,, a belt, sooo

oh it's a bad day to be a falling off buildings hater, rip kiriko

what the hell is #3's deal

i do appreciate that these movies have learned to focus again, that's nice :D

sir, there appears to be a moulting crow in your car door

oh their souls got transferred into a computer brain,,,,,,, manga hongo brain removal reference??? super hero taisen had a reference to the big machine so i wouldn't be surprised

to rider town we go!!!

oh hello v3, you DEFINITELY don't make sense if #1 and #2 were defeated

do they call riderman shockerman in this universe?

ah yes, obvious voice stand ins my beloved

i dunno #3, your henshin has kinda an evil cloud around it

''let's see who's really #3!" i have so many questions

would he call himself #4 in this universe?

actually if the defeated kamen riders are renamed shocker riders, then why is the new guy kamen rider #3 and not like, shocker rider #7 or whatever

i mean i know why from the doylist perspective but watsonian-wise i have so many questions

i think perhaps #3 might still be evil, what do you think

LMAO HI J

OH HI ZERONOS

finally, a second character it makes sense to remember the altered history!!! (kotaro also makes sense, he seems to be immune to time travel at this point)

ok the implications of chalice being here are,,,,,,,,,,, uh,,,,,

obligatory TACHIBANA-SAN!!!!! IT'S HIM!!!! :D

de- developed the undead????? like the trial ones or like,,, the actual ones because if it's the actual ones then how much history have you been modifying with your machine

damn the blade suit has jaundice

we've been tricked!!!

garren also has jaundice, we've got to check on those kamen livers

with how much of a time loop the last ~15-20 minutes have felt like, part of me hopes this movie goes through them having to fight every single kamen rider in an increasingly formulaic fashion, and #3's entrance gets more and more ridiculous each time

and then we go down the line of a new rider nearly killing someone and the previous one then tells them to stop until at the end a tearful gangan-g begs kamen rider g3 mild not to make his mistakes

oh hi faiz again, at least this time we know history has been changed, maybe this time he really was there when kusaka died

aw we're almost there, but we haven't fought electro-wave [shocker] human tackle yet!!!

um, ackshually, it's supposed to say "deformation" when he leaves accel form, i hope somebody got fired for that blunder(!!!) 🤓☝️

welcome to rider stadium, where there are many birds

dramatic butler reveal

TOBEE TACHIBANA MY G U Y THEY TURNED HIM INTO A BUTLER

YUP that's a manga reference

PLOT TWIST that i perhaps saw coming

i guess just anyone can be hiruchameleon these days

why is crisis always here- oh hi heisei monster line up

actually i think the most out of place monster award this time goes to demushu, especially considering the arch orphnoch isn't here this time

man, even in the movie kiriko is still a damsel in distress, you hate to see it

very flimsy excuse to have a race, i guess the great leader likes races???

oh everyone is here, agito gets to recreate his opening!!!

the revolgarry is hilariously huge compared to everything else here lol

lmao hello gain, you haven't really been in this movie

yuuto has been crucified for fun

decade is here???

oh this is going to be fun isn't it :D

wizard slap

oh, rip gaim and w, the revolgarry is going to be quite the obstruction huh

OH HI CHASE??? so are there still roidmudes or???

oh kotaro is here again, but he's wearing light so that means

it is truly incredible that THIS is one of the times where black and rx being in the same movie makes more sense

i mean, it doesn't, but it also doesn't not

damn you didn't have to do that to chase

lmao yeah the stop signal is kinda busted here isnt it

damn dude you suck so hard even your fascist society isn't behind you

damn rider #3 actually has an interesting concept behind him, he deserves to be the villain of a better movie

FLYING TRIDORON

sickest shit i ever seen, radicalised me to overthrow my fascist government

this engine going crazy, i have no idea how car engines work beyond like,,, the basic principles of making an engine, does more piston movement equal more fast?

big fucking robot time

ok that plan makes absolutely zero sense but sure we've pivoted to erasing everyone from history now

wait how is den-o here isn't he the most immune to time travel?

random children save the day!!!

oh, the blade riders are arbitrarily normal again

"uga... goh..."

#1 and #2 have returned!!! i guess it's better than "we went along with your fascist regime for 40 years until the chance presented itself!!!"

y'know what, #1 and #2 cancelling the shocker brainwashing by showing up is so dumb it makes sense,,, all riders have telepathic contact or something

oh i didn't even notice phoenix there

j is here to save the day!!!

welp, i guess kamen rider j was never released on video

i guess a lot of riders' shows were never made

oh nevermind #3 can just... leave?

let's go rider kick time!!!

oh hi ninninger, and after the special that lead into this took great pains to establish that they exist in a different universe to rider too

i guess all the history modification machine really did was erase ninninger vs drive from history

and then, once more, they ridered all over the place

casual battle viewing grandpa

but what if crossover mech again, somehow more horrifying than ever before???

mach's dead??????????

zeronos kills a school chairman, he didn't even turn back bro's just dead

genpachiro being the monster they just blew up here is kinda surreal

rip the great leader once again, or for the first time in this timeline, or something

and thus, history was returned to normal (don't think about the tv framing too hard just,,, don't) and a movie that kinda felt like it was going through the motions for most of it ends, though it's still second best taisen movie to me,,,, if that's worth anything

almost...

except............

gou, and only gou, is still dead!!! what happened???????

ladies, gentlemen, and other esteemed colleagues, we're going to have to go another layer of spin offs deep to get to the bottom of this mystery!!!!

[youreavicioustrollop]

9-1-1: Lone Star, S2 E3: Hold the Line

Yes, I am jumping back to the crossover even though I was not planning to because my twitter timeline showed me a tweet with Buck and Eddie stills from the crossover and I went "hmm, this might be a sign." So here I am! I know very, very little about Lone Star. Just that there are those cute queer boys, rob lowe, and a woman wearing a hijab.

Please know I am here for my LA fire-fam, even though I'm sure if I cared I would find some of these texas people to be beloveds.

Definitely feels like I woke up in the middle of a two-parter, but that might just be trauma!rob lowe.

This little news segment makes me think about power line workers and other high paid, union tradesmen going to different states to help with disaster relief... kind of the same but unrelated. Idk why it sparked in my head. Probably the distance.

Buck asleep on the window!!!!! lol He's already being played like the comic relief, meanwhile he's about to go through so much emotional trauma when he gets back home!! Eddie teasing him about humidity. :) awww. (also, I don't believe buck doesn't understand humidity, he had his whole globetrotter phase! some of those places were very humid!) "i wasn't staring" "I think that guy is staring at you" LOL. ooooh, big inspirational moment! rob lowe was made for moments like this.

ATVs! great idea. eddie!!! he also gets big music and a dramatic entrance. is this just the crossover or is lone star like this all the time? "Just grunts with shovels" while hen is gonna be at the medical area and eddie conveniently volunteered for a cool assignment! i'm laughing so much. also eddie is SO CUTE here. and he's being all touchy-feely with buck. :))))

buck being soooooo ???? about the fact she didn't follow him back on instagram is so funny. you just said she goes viral all the time! why would she follow back random people who follow her? (buck operating on pretty privilege and people always follow back, i assume. this is such a fun character beat)

eddie being a badass! him and 'firefox' having professional report! and the big buff guy! he's so friendly and competent! :)))

love being shown what wildfire fighting actually involves - clearing of brush, etc. oh no, not bringing up buck's first on-the-job trauma! and then friendly comparing of crazy calls! and then main boy i recognize saves buck from a burning car rolling down a hill?? doggo!!!!! this is cute.

poor missing kid! he must be lost.

if i didn't know better I would say eddie's being a super flirt, but i think this is how he's earnestly friendly. he's just got such a cute face! "he's harmless. mostly"

this chopper bit is confusing, but okay!!! love hen being so aggressively bossy. she's a force to be reckoned with! I like judd, he seems like a good character.

chopper going down!!!!! as if the wildfire wasn't harrowing enough. and the trench diggers haven't heard about the chopper going down!

drama drama drama. good drama. what a convenient mine entrance! "cause i'm invincible" oh ho ho! robe lowe trauma re-surfacing!

"my captain is not my dad, but he might as well be" :))))))))))) conveniently leaving out that he used to steal the fire truck for sexual escapades.

plague getting him and his kid's mom back together???? wild. also dead people guilting a character from beyond the grave is an excellent bit.

buck and tk sneaking around together is hilarious. "bobby would kill me if i brought it back all scratched up" he's not even here and he's so scared of disappointing his dad! "dumbass and dumbasser" "you obviously don't know buck" lolllllll and they're all going with them!

see, why am i finding the rob lowe and hen plotlines so hard to follow??? i don't understand why they needed to blow up the mine if they can get out? oh, to keep the smoke out? ah, i see. burying themselves in a mine.

rob lowe trauma time! it is a fascinating backstory. very lead in a gritty tv show kind of trauma. "probably gonna die anyway" "now you're just trying to cheer me up" what a good line. awww, hen trauma! aisha doing such a good acting job!!!! she's normally so effortless i don't notice.

tk and buck treating the crashed chopper like a jungle gym, omgggggg. hen between buck and eddie!

eddie saying his goodbyes!!! "that is way too much pretty" i mean he's RIGHT THO. "for the love of god please follow buck back on insta" awwwwww. [they're going to stop at eddie's parents' house to eat I NEED to read a fic about that experience. liiiiike!!!!] AWWWW, TK and Buck!!! this is very clearly how so many of Buck's friendships across the country formed "if you're ever in [location] we should hang out" and TK being the first to be like "i know we've got a queer vibe going on, but I need to be clear about it." and buck is FLABBERGASTED because no one has clocked him before because he's usually too bro-y???? watching this after watch buck begins was the right choice. :))

Hen being a logical foil to fantastical rob lowe. Owen! that's his name. i did hear that before. owen strand. i like it!!!

Kith’rak Ilu

1. [CHARACTER INFO]

OC NAME: Ilu

OC PRONOUS: She/Her & He/Him

AUTHOR: @tunarath

2. [DIALOGUE]

1. Greeting message:

Greetings, ra’stil. Is there something you need?

2. Identify yourself:

I am Kith’rak Ilu, knight of the planes, and one of Vlaakith’s most loyal… Ha! Almost fooled myself with that one.

3. Tell me about your Creche:

Hmph.

4. I need to know how you fight:

I prefer to fight with my silver sword, but any two-handed weapon will do, if for some reason my sword is missing in action. I am also deadly proficient in psionics.

5. Can I ask a more personal question?

If you must.

6. What is your relationship with the divinity?

I place no trust in the divine. When you have lived as long as I have, and have experienced the things that I have, the gods seem less competent with each passing moment. They will ignore your cries for help, and turn on you in an instant. Remember that.

7. What do you usually do in your free time?

I assist the younger dragons in their training. It’s hard work, and not very rewarding, but what it lacks in personal fulfillment, it makes up for in excitement. I also translate various texts I gather from the material planes into tir’su when I’m feeling particularly bored.

8. What is your life goal?

To live in an age where I can retire to a small corner of the Astral and spend the rest of eternity unbothered by nosy subordinates. But for now, I will continue to fight for as long as I am needed.

9. How is your relationship with your allies?

I treat my allies with respect, so long as they understand who they are speaking to. I am not here to be anyone’s enemy. 

10. Do you have someone special in your life?

I suppose I do, even if he can be quite the irritating thorn in my side. Ki’lath and I have known each other for countless millennia, though our… intimate relationship is rather recent. Still, there is no one I trust more.

11. Say something you would never do, and why?

Ever since my beloved was murdered, I cannot bring myself to bond with another dragon. Quelsyndras was my sun, my stars, and everything in between. We met outside of Tiamat’s pact aeons ago, atop a snowy mountain. I heard of her legend, and sought her out for her aid in a battle that would have cost the lives of my entire squadron if I failed to persuade her. By some miracle, she stuck around after that, and even granted me the privilege of riding her when I became a knight… Ah, I will not bore you with my drivel any longer.

12. What is a perfect day to you?

Sitting and enjoying the company of those who are close to me. Perhaps a bit of friendly sparring as well, though sparring circles are not as appealing to me as they once were.

13. How do you celebrate a victory?

With a lot of sweets and a long, uninterrupted nap.

14. How do you deal with defeat and losses?

Lose? I do not lose.

15. How do you think you will be remembered after death?

Hm… I imagine I will be remembered for my ludicrous endeavors, such as throwing a ghaik head at Vlaakith when I sought acceptance into the Astral. I still wonder why I was allowed to keep my own head after that.

Event Story: The Crimson ribbon for Désir | CH3

SHYLOCK — There aren’t only people who can answer immediately when asked “what do you want”, in this world.

If it’s someone reserved, then all the more so.

It may not be an easy task for one to face their own feelings, or to put them into words.

However, if there comes a chance to come in contact with someone’s wish….

That may be the moment they come to discern the outline of their desire, just like a series of ripples on the surface of water.

Why not cherish the time you spend choosing a gift while enjoying the stimulation you get from the outside, while you do so?

With you and Heathcliff, the two of you together.

SHINO — ………….

Gotcha. I’ll invite Heath later.

AKIRA — Um, Rustica. If it’s alright, can I also go to that exhibition?

MITILE — Ah, and if possible, me too…!

And…If it’s fine with you, Shino, I would like to help you look for what Heathcliff wants.

SHINO — You sure?

MITILE — Yes!

Because… I also understand the feeling of wanting my most beloved friend to be the happiest from receiving a gift from me.

SHINO — Mitile… Thanks.

MITILE — Ehehe, you’re welcome!

RUSTICA — Then Sir Sage and Mitile are also coming with us. The card said it’s fine for anyone to join in as well, so I am sure the organizer himself would be delighted too.

Oh, yes. If it’s alright, would you like to also come along, Bradley?

BRADLEY — Me too?

RUSTICA — The organizer is my and Chloe’s friend. He is a very knowledgeable person with a superb sense of aesthetic, you see.

If he is the one organizing this exhibition, I think there definitely would be something that would catch your eye.

BRADLEY — Ooh, if the bridegroom says so, then that guy’s sense must be something.

But dontcha got guts, huh, inviting a bandit to that. Don’t blame me if I steal anything!

RUSTICA — Ahaha. That would be a problem.

AKIRA — That’s—It’d be great if you didn’t…!

MITILE — That’s right! It’s bad to steal!

SHINO — If you’re gonna do it, at least do it in a way so you don’t get caught. It’ll create problems for us.

SHYLOCK — Fufu, would you be able to get away with it under our watch, I wonder?

RUSTICA — Competing with someone as skilled as Bradley would make my heart race.

AKIRA — Everyone!? Please go with the assumption that stealing won’t happen…!

A few days later—.

We brought our feet to the City of Wealth, where the exhibition was being carried out.

BRADLEY — Hey. Why’s the geezer here too.

SNOW — I couldn’t just let you roam free after hearing about you maybe planning on committing mischief, could I. I am here to monitor you. It’s monitoring.

RUSTICA — I am the one who invited Sir Snow. I thought it would be a great idea to invite everyone present on the day of the snow fight, while we were at it!

SHINO — It’s just as cold today as it was on that day. Feels like it might start snowing anytime.

AKIRA — Thank god Chloe’s clothes are so warm. The red coats and vests suit everyone very well!

MITILE — Ehehe…. The dress-code being ‘red’ feels kind of adult-like.

Don’t I feel a little bit more like a young man today, compared to other days?

BRADLEY — You getting excited over something like this means you ‘still a kid for a while.

SHYLOCK — ‘Red’ is the color of desire…. If you wish to dye in its color to grow closer to the adult, I will teach you how to, Mitile.

MITILE — Huh!? Th—That’s still a bit early, maybe….

SNOW — Additionally to the red hue, the decorating ribbons also make these the perfect things to wear to this exhibition.

RUSTICA — Indeed, I am very much feeling like I became a gift myself.

Chloe, will you receive me?

CHLOE — Ahaha! Of course, with pleasure.

Wait, we have to hurry to the exhibition hall! It’s almost time and Rustica overslept so we’re really tight.

RUSTICA — Oh, that’s right.

HEATHCLIFF — …Ah, there is a signboard right next to the café over there. Isn’t that the exhibition’s? That must be where the hall is.

I wonder what a gifts exhibition looks like. I can’t really imagine it.

SHINO — You’ll know when you’re inside. There, let’s go. Heath.

HEATHCLIFF — Whoa. Don’t pull me so much.

We walked in after Shino and Heathcliff at different paces.

That day, Shino had invited Heathcliff the moment he’d come back to the dining hall.

For a split moment, Heathcliff looked like he was about to ask about it but….

Maybe he’d noticed something in the depths of Shino’s irises, he’d promptly decided to nod: “I would like to go too”.

AKIRA — (I hope he can find it…. A present that would make Heath happy.)

CHLOE・MITILE — Woow…!

The moment we stepped into the hall, it was as though we were in the middle of a wintry forest.

Garlands of snowflakes were stringing between the trees draped in white, glittering brightly.

The dim, transparent lights enveloping us felt just like the winter sun.

And at the center of this forest, sat a mountain of presents.

AKIRA — Amazing…. There are so many present boxes they’re about to reach the ceiling.

SHYLOCK — My, what a spectacular view.

??? — Those over there, are the displayed goods of this exhibition.

When I turned around to the husky voice, a humble senior—a man from whom kindness was emanating, stood there.

He seemed to be around Mr. Vincent’s age.

He had a refined appearance, with striking, slightly droopy blue eyes and blonde hair, and a thin silhouette.

AKIRA — (What a beautiful person. I feel like, if Heath aged, maybe he’d look kind of like this.)

RUSTICA — Hi there, Klaus. Thank you for inviting us over, today.

CHLOE — It’s the second meeting for me and Rustica, right. Have you been doing well?¹

KLAUS — Thanks to you. I’d been looking forward to the day we would reunite.

BRADLEY — Ah? The second meeting?

MITILE — Aren’t the three of you friends?

RUSTICA — Yes, we are friends. The other day, we had a fateful meeting at an antique shop, you see.

KLAUS — We placed our hands on an antique ribbon simultaneously and these two kindly let me have it.

CHLOE — And from there, the conversation was just flowing on its own! We became friends right away.

SHINO — In Eastern Country, we’d call that an acquaintance.

RUSTICA — Is that so? I think the feeling of wanting to get closer to the other would already make us friends, however.

KLAUS — It’s an honor to be told as such by people like Sir Rustica and Chloe.

I used the ribbon the two of you let me have to wrap these gifts, you know.

CHLOE — Ah, so it’s just as I thought!?

I was just thinking “oh, the texture feels similar~”.

RUSTICA — By the way, Klaus, if I recall correctly you had also bought off a white canvas from that shop, hadn’t you?

KLAUS — …Yes. That canvas is also part of the goods on display. Please feel free to take it into your hands, later.

SNOW — A canvas, you say? There is none to be seen, though.

KLAUS — Oh…My apologies for that. Let me explain the concept of this exhibition to you.

Mr. Klaus directed a gentle smile towards us and started talking about the exhibition.

KLAUS — This hall was made with the idea of a pure white natural scenery that cannot be found in the Western Country.

And within this unusual, pure and peaceful space, the one that emits the strongest impression is that mountain of presents….

While I traveled to many places, I gathered things that were ostensibly gifted from someone to another and wrapped them one by one.

AKIRA — So there are presents in there….

HEATHCLIFF — It must have been difficult to gather this many.

MITILE — Um, Mr. Klaus. How do you gather presents that were given to people that weren’t yourself?

KLAUS — There are many ways to do that. For instance, an item said to be a great person’s gift to their friend….

Others are gifts I borrowed for the exhibition, when my friends shared deeply touching anecdotes surrounding them.²

SHYLOCK — I see. Then once again, we’ll have to be extremely careful while handling the displayed items.

BRADLEY — Borrowing, buying, exhibiting…. ‘Sounds so tedious.

Nothing new but are there nothing but eccentrics in the West.

SHYLOCK・CHLOE・RUSTICA — Your praise is an honor.

BRADLEY — I wasn’t praising you.

SHINO — But if you wrap them, we can’t see the gifts that are the main point of this. Why did you put them in boxes?

KLAUS — I would like everyone to undo those wrappings. Just like you would if you’d received a present.

MITILE — Huh? Is that alright?

KLAUS — Of course. Please feel free to pick whatever fancies you, open it, and look inside.

This exhibition is open to one group of people per day. After you’ve unwrapped and opened gifts and returned, I will wrap them again.

SHYLOCK — I see. So we can experience the joy of opening presents.

CHLOE — That sounds fun! I’m so excited!

KLAUS — Who gifted them, with what kind of feelings, to whom? What kind of desires lie within those?….

Please let your imagination run freely and tell me about your thoughts, within this tranquil forest, disturbed by none.

TL/n: chapter 3, we're getting close to where the real fun starts!

everytime klaus speaks and i have to tl that i am overtaken by the urge to bang my head against my desk

¹ Chloe says 二度目まして (nidomemashite), which is a commonly used wordplay mashing 'hajimemashite' (nice to meet you, or literal: first time we meet) and 'nidome' (second time). Bradley then repeats that in a tone of "wdym nidomemashite". I couldn't think of any better way to translate this without losing that in the tl so i decided to make a note for it

² the original sentence goes like this: "I listened to anecdotes of gifts from friends, those that made me feel touched, I borrowed them for the exhibition." (this line alone put me through so much lol)

Klaus uses the word 知人, which could either be "friend" or "close aquaintance", and I opted for "friend" since that's a westie right there weirding out all non-westies with him calling people "friends" immediately lmaoo

diplomacy

Tanis slaps an open book down atop Martin’s notes. He points. “Read it,” he commands.

“Er… knight-errant of—”

“Knight?” Tanis sits down heavily across the table. “I thought Coradri was fucking with me.”

Martin fights back a smile. She is capable enough as a reading teacher, aside from her deplorable habit of lying for no other reason than her own amusement— two days ago, Martin was forced to break the news to Tanis that there is no such letter as chent in the Cyrod alphabet.

But he has his bone now, and won’t stop chewing it. “Fucking knights. Pah. And why's it have to be— it's twisted, priest. Impossible, with all these fake silent letters. What’s that K there for? And the H, I’ll forgive, but the G?”

“I don’t…” Martin can barely get the words out for laughter. “That’s really how it’s spelled. There's nothing I can do to stop it from being spelled that way. I don’t know what you want from me.”

“An apology! For your stupid language. Mine makes sense.” He seizes the scratch paper Martin had been using, and painstakingly writes a word in Daedric script. “Foyada. See. Fo-ya-da. It says what it says.”

“Oh, really.” Martin snatches the paper back and scribbles out a word of his own. “One of your very own Great Houses.”

“ ‘M no House Dunmer,” he says disdainfully, and folds his arms. “What’s the problem.”

“Hekem and lyr together? Hlaalu? Hardly rolls off the tongue.”

Tanis cackles. “Ha-lalu? Oh, you’re going to make a fool of yourself in the White-Gold Tower. Ha-lalu.” More laughter.

Martin’s face must have fallen, because Tanis stops his mockery at once, and reaches across the table, and gives his arm a light thwack. “Didn’t mean it like that, priest.”

“No fault found in speaking truth.” Martin offers him a conciliatory half-smile. “I suppose I’ll have to make do with you for my education in diplomacy. How is it said? I’ve only ever seen it in writing.”

“La-lu,” he says, two delicate little chimes of a bell. Martin likes to hear the man speak in his own mother tongue, even if Martin understands none of it; the lazy roll of the vowels, the quick flick of the consonants, fluid and hissing like a river of molten fire. He realizes, perhaps a second too late, that he is staring at Tanis’s mouth.

“Fake silent letters,” he accuses.

“It’s not silent, it’s different,” Tanis fires back. “Hlaalu. Leyr. Hear it?” When Martin shakes his head, Tanis shrugs. “You’re hopeless.”

Martin lets out an incredulous laugh. “You’re giving up on me so quickly?”

“Mhm. You’ll have to find someone else for your dip— er…”

“Diplomacy.”

“Dunno that word.”

“It’s… negotiation. Conducting good relations between the provinces. That sort of thing.” He sighs, and rubs the bridge of his nose, and casts a reproachful glance at the book he had been plodding through before the interruption. One of four ponderous volumes on the history of the Empire, purchased in Bruma with Tanis’s money and hauled up the mountain on Tanis’s back, at Martin’s request. In the hopes he could learn something of the unthinkable task before him.

“Nothing about bloody knights in that one, is there?” Tanis follows his gaze and picks it up. “Ka-ta-ri-ah. Katariah?”

The delight on Tanis’s face when Martin nods. “Consort to the Mad Emperor, Pelagius III, who became his successor,” he explains. “One of your own, in fact, from Morrowind, distrusted by the nobility but beloved by the people. And famed for her travels and diplomacy, though this blasted book says nothing of how she managed to weave in the loose ends of a damaged Empire, just that she did it…”

“Diplomacy’s a tough tattle, I reckon.”

"You're the expert."

Tanis retrieves his beknighted book and rises to leave. “But your answer’s right there, isn’t it, priest? Shack up with a madman and the people will love you.”

“I’ll take that into consideration,” Martin says.

One Piece Advent Calender Door 12

CHRISTMAS COOKIES

Door 12 : Christmas without cookies? NEVER!

You hummed a Christmas melody while displaying the fresh cookies, decorations and frostings at the ready. Smiling happily, you made everything ready to decorate and of course not to dirty the kitchen itself. “Sanji-kun~ we´re back”, Nami and Robin came through the door. “Sanji is bathing. Welcome back. Coffee tea, hot chocolate?”, you smiled. “Coffee”, both smiled. “You were quite busy” “Yes. Now I´m going to decorate the cookies” “Ah~ cute! May i Join?”, Nami beamed at you. “Yes! Oh, I´d love to. Here, your coffee” “Thank you”, both girls sat down and toon cookies. “Must they be Christmas themed?” “No. Heavens. Draw what you like on them”, you give each one a plate where they could put the decorative treats.

And so you began to draw and sprinkle. “This is quite fun”, hummed Robin. “Robin? What should that be?” “Why, Soma”, Robin smiled brightly at Nami, who sweatdropped. “Aww, when you present it to him, he will love you so much more” She chuckled and continued. “Je, what are you d-Why are yours so good?!” “Hm~ Nami, you know my baking” “Yes, the sunny looks incredible but this, wow” “I find it amazing that you can´t draw but this, you can” “If I knew why I would use it for drawing”, you admitted.

Both were done and you took their plates to the side. “Thanks, Je” “I must thank you two, they look amazing!” Nami hummed with an >are you serious< face. “Why, I mean it” Smiling softly, the door opened and Sanji came in with Brook. “WHOA! MELLORINE!!!!” “We see us Je”, smiled Robin and both walked away. “Yohohohoho~ Goddess-san, what are you doing?” “Decorating Christmas cookies” “Why this sounds nice. May I join?” “Yes! Nami and Robin also joined so I´d be happy if you also make some” “Ah, my beloved! May I-” “I would beg you to join”, you admitted and Sanji explodes with a big heart above him. “Be-Be-Begging~”, he made his perverted face, imagine you begging.

While the three of you decorated, Zoro came in. “What are you doing?” “Decorating Christmas cookies. Join us, Zoro-san” “No. I don´t like sweets”, he yawned. “Oh, and I made some decorations especially with alcohol for you”, you looked away and he slowly turned his head to you. “Why, it´s true”, you admitted. “As if” “Mosshead! As if our Goddess jokes about that!” “Be quiet you onion-cutter! I didn´t ask for any of you stuff” “Now now, don´t fight. Leave him Sanji. Perhaps Zoro can´t draw so he doesn´t want to”, you admitted. “Can´t draw?! I can make better stupid cookies! Give me that shit” You smirked while Brook laughed.

“So, what should that be?” “An Oni Giri” ”...A what? Where should that-”, Sanji was shocked. “Oh yeah. This is the shape and here the swaweed” “Ha! She knows it” “Zoro, only idiots can reconize other idiots drawings” The boy laughed while Zoro flushed red before storming out. “Why did Zoro just cursed and went out?” “Because the idiot swordbrain can´t decorate cookies~”, sang Sanji at Franky and Jinbe. “Yohohohoho, thank you, Goddess-san. It was wonderful” “No! Thank you all for making such pretty cookies. It warms me to see so many decorated kinds” “WHAAAA! Little SiS!”, Franky picked you up and sniffled. “There, There Franky. Would you like to join?” SUPER YES! I make the best ones” You chuckled.

Jinbe also joined in with decorating. “Sorry, it seems that I´m not good as others” “Jinbe that is fine. Nobody is perfect. You can do other stuff better than this” “HAHAHAHAHA! Thank you” “Super! my little sis is the best one!” “As are you, Robo-bro hentai~” “Oi oi~ don´t fluster me”, Franky blushed as Jinbe and you laughed heartful.

With Franky and Jinbe gone, it was quiet again before Chopper and Usopp came in. “Christmas cookies! Christmas cookies!”, Chopper directly sat down next to you. “Robin told us you needed some help decorating”, smirked Usopp. “If you want to, that is” “Yes! That´s why we came! Let us help you” “Of course. And you, master painter, present us thy work of craftiness” Usopp smirked. “Oh, that I will. Your eyes will be blessed” “Looking forward to it...wait, wasn´t Luffy with you?” “He and Soma went on their own. Don´t know where they are”, admitted Usopp.

“DONE!”, Cheered Chopper and eagerly showed you the drawings of cherry blossoms and a hat. “Dr. Hirluk hat?” “Yes!” You tapped the reindeers nose. “Looks amazing, Chopper” He laughed. “And now, low and behold! my beautiful work!”, Usopp presented his cookies. “They look amazing Usopp” “Haha! Top that!”,he laughed at you, making you smile.

Alone yet again, the door opened again. “Ah! JE!”, Luffy bounced to you, still covered in snow and pressed his cheek against yours. “Hello, boys. And? How was your adventure?” You asked while Soma nuzzled into your arms. “We got lost!”, he beamed. “Bub...that isn´t something to be proud off” “Right! why did Usopp looked so down?” “Ah, I beat him in decorating Christmas cookies” Luffy looked at the full table. “WOW!” “Yes. Everyone made a few beside you...and you”, you scratched the chin of your dragon. “YOSH! As captain I also make a few” Shrugging his winter jacket off, he sat next to you, looking at your fingers. You smiled how Soma helped your boyfriend bringing stuff over.

It was a mess. Icing and sprinkes all over Luffys face, a bright grin on his face. His cookies were the messiest of all, declaring he was done. “See! This is you and me!” He held a cookie to you and you smiled, kissing his cheek. “Looks wonderful” “I did my very best!” “I saw” “here, this one is for you”, you handed him one of yours. “WOW! Je you´re incredible! How cool! Soma look” “I´m also done. Want to help me clean up?” “Yeah...can I eat it?” “If you want. These are cookies” “And good cookies! mmmh~”

“Are you two done here?”, Sanji came soon inside. “Yup. Everything cleaned and stored away. Thank you for letting me use it” “Ah, my goddess, always~” “When is dinner ready Sanji?” “2 hours”, his voice went icy to your boyfriend. “Wha?! So long?” “Yes”, he simply said and you whispered something in his ear. “YES! I go on ahead!”

Using his devil fruit, he grabbed something. “Oh!”, he blinked before giving you a short kiss. “I´m back!” You bursted out into laughter. “Welcome home” And with that, he was gone, Sanji being yet again, deeply depressed.

PORTRAIT - Ah, still delay—thou art so ■■■ 5

Author: Akira

Characters: Akiomi, Arashi, Makoto, Izumi

Translator: Mika Enstars

"Besides. My family is normal. A normal, loveless family, just like any other."

[Read on my blog for the best viewing experience with Oi~ssu ♪]

Season: Winter

Location: Modeling Office

About an hour later…

Akiomi: Hah… Hah… T-They’ve finally calmed down…

Izumi: ……

Akiomi: Or rather… Sena-kun got tired from crying and fell asleep. It’s already late at night—Kids this age should have gone to bed long ago.

Makoto: ……♪

Akiomi: (Ahaha, Yuuki-kun’s even sleeping while he squeezes Sena-kun’s hand tightly. They must really be close. Seeing something like this makes me feel at ease.)

Arashi: …Good job at work today, Akiomi.

Akiomi: Oh! You brewed me some coffee, huh? You’re so considerate, Narukami-kun.

Arashi: All I did was press a button.

Akiomi: Still, I’m happy to have been thought of. Good kid, good kid♪

Arashi: Please don’t pet me. I’ll hit anyone who is unpleasant.

Akiomi: You can’t jump to hitting others. You can get away with things like that since you’re still a child, but for adults like me, you’d get in trouble with the police immediately.

Arashi: Even though Akiomi’s a child, too.

Akiomi: If that’s what you think, then if only everyone else would treat me as they would any other child.

But alas, the others from the other agency didn’t help and instead just watched helplessly from a distance.

Arashi: Because adults are basically all useless.

Akiomi: What happened for you to have so little faith in adults at your age? Poor thing. You must’ve had a rough life, huh, Narukami-kun.

Arashi: I told you to please not pet me.

Besides. My family is normal. A normal, loveless family, just like any other.

Papa and Mama, me and my big brother, we all don’t care about each other.

If we’re talking about having it rough, those guys seem to have it worse. Though I don’t know much.

Akiomi: Right… I had gotten curious, so I asked the president and some others about it earlier…

There's a rumor that Sena-kun’s so-called monster parents had gotten into a full-blown fight with the agency he belongs to, it seems.

Apparently they had complained a lot about how their child was being treated disrespectfully, and the agency lost their temper and told them to just leave if they didn’t like it.

And so Sena-kun was transferred to our agency as a result.

Though I’m sure the president wasn’t too keen on taking in such a landmine, either, but…

Our motto here is that we’ll take in anyone and turn them into a splendid model.

If he had refused the transfer, Sena-kun’s parents probably would’ve spread negative criticism of us all over the place… In fact, just that had apparently inconvenienced his former agency quite a bit.

Arashi: What a seriously horrible family.

Akiomi: Yeah… I try not to speak bad about other people, but…

Wouldn’t you think adults of that age would have shame?

Arashi: Because adults are the worst.

Akiomi: I feel Sena-kun’s parents are a special case, though…

Still, even I think it’s the worst how Sena-kun’s parents don’t seem to consider his own feelings one bit.

I can tell Sena-kun definitely didn’t want to be separated from his beloved friend, Yuuki-kun.

It looks like his parents forced their son to transfer without any thought to his feelings.

Arashi: Hmm. It’s a pity, they seem to be really close.

Izumi & Makoto: ……♪

Akiomi: You can say that again. To tear two good friends apart just because you’re not pleased—It’s just plain cruel.

I bet Sena-kun must’ve really hated it too. That’s why he was crying and lashing out in desperation, as a way to express his disapproval. That’s probably what the huge fuss was over earlier, wasn’t it?

Arashi: If he hates it so much, he should just go back to his old agency.

I don’t wanna work with this guy.

Akiomi: Is that so? He’s fastidious, just like you. You might be able to unexpectedly get along with him, you know!

Arashi: Who is fastidious? Is that an insult? Should I be getting angry?

Akiomi: If you consider it a weakness, it’s a weakness. If you consider it a strength, it’s a strength! Any personality trait can be marketed in our line of work.

It all comes down to how you present it, and how you sell it.

Arashi: ? ? Sounds difficult.

Akiomi: I don’t fully understand it myself. But, recently, an idol I sorta like said something like that in an interview.

His name is Sagami Jin, have you heard of him? He’s around my age, and he’s an idol with so much momentum right now that he could knock flying birds out of the sky…♪

Arashi: Flying… birds? What about a bird?

Akiomi: Ahaha. …But anyways, this’ll cause a bit of trouble.

So if you don’t have any urgent work to do, Narukami-kun, you might wanna stay away from the agency for the time being.

I wouldn’t want you to get dragged up into something troublesome.

Arashi: That’s true. …But, if I don’t come here, then I can’t see Akiomi.

Akiomi: ? Did you say something?

Arashi: …… (Doesn’t say anything and kicks Akiomi in the back)

Akiomi: Ouch!? Seriously, why do you skip to violence so quickly?! What are your parents teaching you!

Arashi: You never told me I couldn’t kick.

Izumi: ……?

(What’re these guys doing… They’re making a racket right next to us, even though people are sleeping.)

(But, it’s nice… It kinda actually feels like something a close-knit family would do.)

(I wish I could’ve been born into a family like that.)

Makoto: Mn… Onii-cha, aaan…♪

Izumi: (If only Yuu-kun could’ve been my little brother for real.)
