I am a proud wtrc apologist and I will die on this hill.

Was the acting great? No, particularly in serious scenes it falls a little flat. Was it realistic to how these character would have reacted to the zombie apocalypse? Absolutely. Was it everything that resident evil stands for in its campy awesomeness? Yes.

Was the CGI good? No. Did I want it to be? Also no. Was it faithful to the original standard of animation from the games? Yes!

Is the storyline the same as the games? No. Do I give a shit? No. Did they actually do a decent job tying the games together? Yes. Did they do a great job? No. Was it still creative to give Chris and Claire backstory in the orphanage and have a tunnel connecting the Spencer Mansion and the orphanage? YES!!

Was Avan Jogia a good Leon? Yes! Why? Because while Leon in the games is a bit more stoic, what Avan did a great job of reflecting is the actual gamer’s experience. Maybe when the zombies pop up Leon has a cool one-liner but you as a gamer might jump and be like what the fuck and that’s what Avan did. In addition, despite being a third person game, RE1 and RE2 were meant to be immersive so in a way the gamer’s reactions are Leon’s reactions.

Was there stuff about the movie that bothered me? Yes. What? The pacing felt a little off and particularly slow at the beginning, I’m still mad about how they nerfed Annette in favor of William, and there’s stuff I wish they included. Did it ruin my enjoyment of the movie as a whole? No!

What sets the movie apart from the Anderson films? The Anderson films missed the point of the Resident Evil franchise. They turned the movies from survival horror to action thriller and considering that Resident Evil literally coined the phrase ‘survival horror’ that’s pretty egregious. WTRC stuck to the theme. These people are trying to survive and in doing so encountering horrors they have to fight. They might have some experience and some ingenuity but they’re not supersoldiers. They’re people facing odds and trying to survive. The Anderson films feel like someone took the Resident Evil universe, plucked out what they liked, and threw the rest away. WTRC feels like a love letter to the original games. I could literally feel the affection the team had for Resident Evil as a franchise coming off the screen. The Easter eggs, the precise set design, the classic lines, the campiness, the care put into the movie is so clear.

Do I have an issue with Leon’s haircut? No and it’s such a petty argument anyway. Idk how to tell you that a bowl cut with a center part is very difficult to pull off in the modern day and while it may have been cool in 1996 when the first game was made, a modern audience isn’t going to accept it as easily.

Do I have an issue with Jill’s casting? No, and frankly most of the complaints feel racist to me. She had the spirit of Jill: strength, ingenuity, loyalty, poise, independence.

Do I have an issue with Wesker’s characterization? No, because of the context. In video games there’s a lot of telling rather than showing in the literal images on the screen and the lore you find along the way. We know the STARS team is a team because we’re told that and we get to see personnel files and such. In a movie that isn’t quite as easily communicated. Seeing a personnel file in a movie doesn’t allow you the time a game would to turn the file over and read every little piece of info, it gives you less time to sit with it and absorb it. Therefore a movie has to /show/ more. In WTRC we know the STARS team is a team because we see them be a team. We see their banter and them working together and their inside jokes. And that has to happen in a movie, simply telling us, hey these people are a team wouldn’t cut it in a movie and therefore it makes sense to start Wesker essentially further back in his own timeline, back when he was bonding with the STARS members. Otherwise, his betrayal doesn’t have the impact it does because we never saw him be loyal in the first place.

Do I have an issue with Ada’s role in the movie? A little, but once they nerfed Annette they also sort of nerf Ada automatically, as the two of them are so intertwined story wise. Again we run into issues between movies and video games. In games you have unlimited time and unlimited tries and unlimited ability to revisit facts. In a movie that’s not the case so cuts have to be made somewhere. Am I happy about where they made the cuts? No, but they had a ton of material to work with smashing the two games together in the first place. Also, in games a shift in perspective can literally allow you to play as another character, in a movie too many shifts like that is jarring unless the movie sets up that structure from the beginning. Playing as Ada in the games makes sense as a change in gameplay after a long time playing Leon and a way to tell the rest of the story but a movie can’t switch like that without people being like wait where the hell did Leon go we barely saw him. Once again, it all comes down to time.

Did I like that they cut Mr. X? No, but again, time constraints, and he only exists in the games as a complicating force and the movie already has presented the characters with plenty of complicating forces. In other words, movies don’t get to include all the side quests.

Overall, most of the complaints I see tend to come down to either racism or relatively unavoidable changes because of the type of media. In conclusion, I genuinely love WTRC and am glad that I have the chance to experience it in my lifetime.

English is not my main language, so... I will most likely make some mistakes (grammar etc.) but I will try my best. :>

I'm really nervous about this whole thing. I don't know how people will react to this blog. But I'm just going to yeet myself into cold water and see what happens.

Anyway, I created this blog because I wanted to see what it would be like to have my very own centered around a certain topic. This little blog will be focused on my own SCP canon plus the ocs in it. This includes the O5 council, agents and members from other GOI.

WARNING!! This blog will mention serious topics!! Some characters have dealt with bullying, homophobia and more!! Please be careful. I will try my best to tag posts like that include triggers.

Also I won't reveal my exact age but I am over 18 years old. So I would prefer that everyone who might interact with this blog is also an adult.

DNI (if you think I forgot something, please let me know):

- transphobes

- homophobes

- anti lgbtqia+ overall

- maps

- albeists

- racists

- anti oc x canon (seriously, people who do oc x canon are just people and if you think a ship is problematic you can calmly tell them)

Since this is my first ask blog, I still have to figure things out, I'm not an expert :3

For now anonymous asks are turned off, I might turn them on eventually.

Alright, enough chit-chat. Let's jump over to the SCP stuff .

First things first: This blog is indeed inspired by other similar blogs. Tumblr has some really cool blogs focused on SCP content.

Let me finally start talking a bit more about my canon:

1. The veil is NOT lifted.

2. The Foundation has a pretty chill relationship with the GOC and Serpent's Hand.

3. Their relationship with the Chaos Insurgency... well, it's complicated.

4. There are different humanoid species. This includes the Saints, Starborn and Stareater.

5. Most characters you might know from the wiki do not exist in this canon. However, who knows? We might actually encounter a Clef from another canon.

I... I'm going to drop a character list. Because I have a bunch of them, and a list might help you all keeping track. Also, all of the characters are adults.

When he saw Freddies reaction about the beautiful founatin Ardens smile got bigger and he could see how his boyfriends eyes lit up. In this moment he knew that it was right. This whole trip was right, bringing him here was right, loving Freddie was right. They went to the fronr of the fountain and looked down the clear blue water. He nodded at Freddies question and gave him a quick kiss before he fished out his wallet out of his back pocket to grab for two one euros, one for him and one for his precious boy. Arden gave one the young artist after he threw his own into the deep blue water and closed his eyes for a second. Then, he turned around to face Freddie again. "You have to make a wish. Just like I did.", he then pressed his lips against his temple once again before taking a step aside, placing himself behind his boyfriend while he watched him flicking the euro into the water as well. For a second, he saw how the coin disappeared into the water so he took a step back. Arden noticed how nervous he suddenly got and shook his head, took a deep breath and then got a box out of his jacket. Luckily Freddie hasnt noticed him yet, he seemed to be way too focused on the beautiful view of the surrounding so the vampire had enough time to prepare himself. Even though he found it very cheesy to get on one knee he did it anyways, opening the box to reveal a deep red diamond ring. "Babe?", was the only thing that was needed for the younger vampire to turn around to face Arden so he could look him in the eyes. With he smile, he cleared his throat before he started speaking. "Freddie, my love. This journey with you has been the wildest rollercoaster Ive been in, all the ups and downs with you have turned my life over. Even though we have not been the greatest to each other I will always cherish the good moments we shared together, because through these moments I found out what love really means and what it feels like to love someone and especially to be loved. I have found my soulmate in you. You are my moonlight, your bright light guides me through my darkness and gives me comfort in it. You are the only person I spend time with who doesnt make me feel drained and you are the only person who makes me feel like its okay to be me. You have showed me a whole different world than I was used to. I always thought I have to be this tough man to get through life but ever since you came into mine, you have showed me that love can get me further that I couldve ever imagined. Thanks to you I know that now. You imspire me every day with your soft, loving being. I know our children will grow up to be as strong, wise, independent, brave, beautiful, funny and passionate as you. I know you dont see it the way I do, but there is nothing wrong with you, you are loved and cherished. You are improving, you just cant see it. But I can. And I want to make you feel like it too, together with you. I want to do everything with you. I want to spend eternity with you. You are like art, my love. Like a painting. You are my muse, my canvas. I dont ever want to be without you. You know I could talk forever about how beautiful you are but that would be too long. I want you to be mine, forever. So, I am asking you for the second time; Freddie Avan Boyle, do you want to marry me?"

Infinity Strash - On to Chapter 5

So the huge battle at Valge Island wrapped up. I'm sure it took multiple episodes in the anime. I kind of dislike that shounen manga trope of each "arc" taking place largely over the course of a single battle. Not that the heroes have to finish up within exactly 22 minutes, but multi-parters should be special events. Anyway, Flazzard was finally defeated, but I questioned one part.

The whole thing was that the energy field over the island was nullifying magic and sapping the strength of the heroes, so how was Popp able to cast during this scene? Even he was surprised (but he cast other spells besides Sizzle right before that). Was it just that his training with Matoriv gave him enough MP to use some?

Woo hoo, Hyunckel is here! He might be my new favorite to play, sorry Popp.

BEAST KING REDEMPTION BLAST! I love you, Crocodine. I wish you were playable, Crocodine. Honestly, since the party's composition changes so much in the story, I now agree with everyone saying at least Leona should be playable. Maybe shrink the party size to 3 and you can choose between Dai, Popp, Maam, Hyunckel, and Leona in the free quests.

I thought Dark King Vearn's emblem was an interesting parallel to the insignias of the disciples of Avan. Avan gives them out like candy to every kid he meets, whereas Dark King Vearn made his minions compete to prove their loyalty. Oh yeah, I forgot- it would be interesting to see a perspective that criticizes Avan for training child soldiers. Even though he trains them for their own survival, he effectively leaves behind a small army of teens to carry on his mission and sacrifice themselves if necessary.

Foreshadowing? Magician's duel between Zaboera and Matoriv incoming?

As you can see, we actually have more than that, Popp. I'll take this opportunity to say something that bothers me about the Temple of Recollection: you can't check your characters' stats during the run. How am I supposed to decide which perk to pick if I can't compare who has the highest defence stat? It's not a deal-breaker, but it is annoying. I think similar dungeons in other games do have that functionality, like the Simulated Universe in Honkai Star Rail.

First metal slime of the game! It was very easy to defeat compared to other Dragon Quest games, I barely had time to take a screenshot. As you can see, my characters were still only level 1 too!

What is the problem with Bori?

An impossible ship with a lot of potential.

“The world needs to see who you really are... because you’re awesome.”

Before we start with the post, I want to apologize in advance if there are things that are not clear enough and aren’t written in the proper way. I’m a Spanish speaker looking to improve her English.

So... I recently saw Victorious again, and I wanted to write about this ship because at the time it was one of my biggest obsessions in the series and although today it is still my OTP, now I can better understand why this ship doesn’t it could be made canon.

I really think that Dan Schneider considered the possibility of making Tori couple of Beck, there was a lot of chemistry between them (in part I blame Avan and Vitoria for that) and little clues that made us consider that they were the typical ship that they would stay yes or yes together. This idea grew even more when Beck breaks up with Jade in the first chapters of season three and we see him so close to Tori. All of Bori Shippers went crazy in the episode of “Tori Goes Platinum” when they almost kissed and we were disappointed when this long awaited moment didn't happen.

Personally, I consider that this ship had a lot of potential because it would be based on a solid friendship, both could evolve into a healthy couple that would give each other the necessary support to achieve their respective goals and, unlike Bade, they wouldn't fight every 5 minutes for silly things. I think it was pretty obvious in the series that Beck wanted to be with Tori as more than a friend and that he even like it much more that idea than her; Beck was always a defender of Tori, he supported her and took care of her, in the chapter of "Tori Goes Platinum" he was the one who realized that Tori was forced by Mason to act that way and later it is he who tries to kiss her again, but she walks away. In short, I really am convinced that Beck had a crush on her.

And I also consider that Tori had feelings for him but is never given the opportunity to explore those feelings because, simply ... Tori Vega is a good friend. Even though Jade is mean to her, Tori considers her a friend and it's a great action to swallow any feelings for a guy when this is a friend's ex-boyfriend.

I have read many comments that treat Beck and Tori as the worst characters in the series for almost kissing on that occasion, which seems totally unfair; first of all we are talking about teenagers, Tori had spent too much time frustrated when she fulfilled Mason's requirements to sing at the Platinum Awards, she was being left alone and she couldn't tell anyone what was really going on.��And then Beck realized on his own, she was relieved that someone knew it wasn't her who was behaving that way, and he was sweet to her at the time... They literally put both teenage characters in a scene where they were both incredibly comfortable with each other, where Tori felt a refuge in Beck and where he was first aware of the crush he felt for his friend.

If Tori's mom hadn't come in right then and they'd kissed, I'm sure Tori would have shown how sorry and guilty she would feel for doing that to Jade. And that would have made Beck feel the same way, we are talking about the most understanding character among the seven protagonists, Beck is always willing to listen and would never do something that would make someone else uncomfortable on purpose, he is the most patient character and proof of that it's how much he put up with Jade's toxic attitude during his relationship with her. He even showed how understanding he is when the second time he tries to kiss Tori, and she explains him the reason why that can't happen between them.

And to all this ... the kiss is never given anyway. And many point to Beck as the bad guy for having tried to kiss her later, but I repeat ... we are talking about characters who are teenagers; any 16-17 year old boy who discovers that he has feelings for a friend who showed for a moment that she felt the same way as him, would be motivated to try again, would be curious to know what would feel to kiss her and that is one of the most adolescent attitudes that may exist. Beck and Tori are not the worst in the world for almost having kissed, they are teenagers with feelings for each other who don't get to explore because Jade is important to both of them.

And how am I so sure about that? Because if they both didn't care about what Jade felt seeing them together, then something would definitely have happened between them. Beck once points out that he loves Jade as his friend and that he wouldn't do anything to hurt her, and we know that Tori considers her a friend no matter how bad she may be to her. It is because of the affection that both feel towards her that this ship becomes impossible regardless of the incredible potential they have, regardless of the chemistry and mutual feelings –which are quite obvious–. And as the series progresses it is a forgotten matter, we can see Tori and Beck having the same union as always but slightly different, because they are friends and they are sure that they will never cross that line because they would never hurt Jade.

I think the only way they could have become canon is if Jade would talk to Tori about what she saw and that she to accept that they were together, with her approval, they might have felt the freedom to explore those feelings and find out if they worked or not. But it wasn't like this and it wasn't close to being either, at the end writters really give us to understand that Jade and Beck are for each other (she scares boys less than Beck, and he likes girls who pose a challenge as Jade). When I was little I couldn't understand this, I couldn't tell that Beck and Tori's relationship was platonic and that it was a great example that the friendship between a boy and a girl is real without the need to become romantic.

Currently I would have liked Bori to become canon? Definitely, they are still my OTP and although I’m now able to understand how the dynamics worked in this little love triangle, I wish Beck and Tori had explored the feelings that at some point they had for each other (because there were definitely feelings between them). But finally we are talking about a teenage comedy series produced by Nickelodeon, whose central themes don’t involve the love of a couple as such, but rather the love of friendship and the importance of it.

Thanks for reading this long post. What do you guys think of Bori?

Rewatching Victorious & reviving my first OTP... BADE!

I love these two together-- but i always fall for the dark/toxic couple troupe(not in reality, but in TV--just to make that clear),, anyways I was thinking about the break up... do you think the writers did it as a way to 'kill two birds with one stone'? And straighten out a couple of things in regards to Beck & Jade's relationship, and make it stronger? --ifully support the idea that Dan shipped BADE 😂--

1) My personal opinion-- To show the audience how BORIng, BORI really was... i've rewatched the episodes & to be completely honest, Avan and Victoria don't have as much chemistry as Liz and Avan,(outright, i said it)-- if anything Tori and Beck always seemed 'just friends', throughout the shows run, the almost kiss was out of the blue, and, i think... purposeful. The writers were teetering around the edges of it for so long; this godforsaken love triangle-- it could've been a way of finally bringing BORI to a close. They did it, and yet, Beck still chose Jade, and overall, the whole interaction felt forced and awkward. ~BORI is fin~. It was a way to finally put both of the characters into that 'possibly-romantic' position & to understand why they didn't work as a couple. Not just to the characters, but to the audience aswell, that kept screaming: "We want BORI!".

2) It allowed Jade to finally become a apart of the group{she seemed to intergrate better, without Beck hanging around & being the bridge between the two sides, she was thrown into the deep end, on her lonesome}, and it allowed Jade & Tori to finally become somewhat friends, which is what Beck ultimately always wanted. It also gave her chance to grow as a character-- her jealousy gradually stopped; after the realisation in 'Opposite Date'& you could tell that Beck was proud of her development. Yeah, he likes it difficult ("easy is boring"), but the jealousy & the conflict amongst their friends were big no-nos for him and caused most of arguments between the couple; Jade kept her personality(angry, forthright and dark), whilst overcoming these two inportant hurdles, allowing Beck and Jade to fix the divide/conflict between them.

The only issue i had with the breakup was BECK, yes BECK. He came to his sudden realisation about Jade; which was beautifully done by the way ~heart eyes~😍. Finally, understanding why he could never be with anyone else, but hell!

Jade moved mountains in character development, compared to Beck-- Beck "carried on doin' what he does", flirting& being emotionally stunted{which is cute, but not groundbreaking}. But he never fully understood WHY Jade felt as insecure as she did- it was brought up in Opposite Date, by a little, clearly MORE aware, child. I know, Dan Schneider had a jealous!Beck episode planned, which never happened due to Victorious' cancellation, but it would've been the last & final step along the way; a way for Beck to truly understand what it was like, to have the shoe on the other foot, as it were.

"I see what you did there writers" --knowing face.

RAMBLE OVER.

hello to each and every one of you absolute wonders !! first of all, we would like to apologize for the wait - when we saw 8 apps hitting the inbox in the last few hours, we knew we would have some Serious Work on our hands. it took us longer than we expected to go through all of them, mainly because every single one was absolutely incredible, and this entailed several very, very tough decisions. we also wanted to be as accommodating as possible for certain applicants who inspired us to make a few changes along the way - with their backstories, their line of thinking, their amazing character, which we will note below. this truly was a round of acceptances where we thought we might create a whole new batch of skeletons just to showcase each app. thank you to everyone who applied. and for everyone who got accepted, please make sure to send in your accounts in 24h !!

HENRY for THE COMMANDER (james norton)

henry, your writing was an absolute treat, but it was truly your future plot ideas we were feasting on! we absolutely loved how tightly tied to fitzwilliam’s psyche they were, how terribly heart wrenching they were - particularly the first one - we have to admit it made us weepy and excited in equal measure.

GEN for THE DEVOTED, captain’s steward (richard deiss)

gen, your writing flourishes and entrances and beguiles, just as rowan does, and the two of you do it so effortlessly. your in-character response was a brilliant show of creativity and development in showing how rowan reacts to the same question asked by different people, and we knew he would be a phenomenon onboard the promethean. your app was showstopping, and we couldn't wait to welcome you aboard.

CAIT for THE SOCIALITE (tuppence middleton)

the whole personality of stella was a whirlwind in motion !! we were so eager to read more about them from the very first seconds. and the prose ! how beautiful ! (Worship the altar of this consuming, rebellious heart and wear it in red, bathe in this baptismal font of sordid gossip, glory, erupting nights of heated duels between wit and ego) - this is the epitome of what we wanted for them, and even more than we could’ve hoped !

KAT for THE DOCTOR (dev patel)

kat, please let us dwell with jonathan in his sunshine and pure spirit forever?? we are all rosa diaz on this blessed day and he is a golden retriever puppy we would all kill for. we love his love for nature’s wonders and for people alike, but we also adore the depth and understanding you brought to his future plots. we welcome you and jonathan to the crew with such, such open arms !

ALICE for THE DOE-HEARTED (su yihan)

alice, your writing was a siren song that lulled us into the depth of sybil's story - in a heartbeat, we would drown in it all over again. you kept the essence of the doe-hearted but took it so much further in making her a girl haunted, the buildup of sybil and her story a grimm fairytale to be told again and again. "You were born by the water, sweet thing. Your story is the sea with but an island in the middle of it." you have truly woven a complexity to the doe-hearted that we never expected - we'll all be holding our breaths to see how our dear fairytale fares on open waters !!

BEAU for THE INTREPID (tobias menzies)

oh, beau. the entire process of your application was as beautiful and chaotic as a natural phenomenon - it felt like we need albert in this rp, and that weight had the certainty of force? we knew we have to give him the leeway for development he deserved. i cannot properly convey how much we loved the schematics of his past, and how it contrasted with his ideals for the future. he is a map of contrasts and we are so eager to see him on the dash !

NAYAB for THE ENIGMA (katrina kaif)

nayab, the way you illustrated jaya's rich history was absolutely delectable - we were positively screaming over the intricate detail you put into the creation of such a nuanced, interesting, and fiery character. the research and thought you put into jaya absolutely wowed us, and it was impossible not to love (and admittedly, cower a little before) her. "what if this expedition makes you encounter what even you - with your cautious gait, and sharp, dark-eyed gaze - never saw coming?" what a cannonball she is, and what an impact she had on us !

JINHEE for THE HARUSPEX (avan jogia)

jinhee, ashwin is an absolute delight and so was reading your application! as rhi screamed, ‘FUCK I BELIEVE IN HOPE AGAIN??’ we loved the icarus imagery and were not prepared to be completely undone by this line: (and weren’t you told never to touch your idols? warned that the gilding will stick to your fingers?). the way you took his father’s ancestry and tied into his present feelings for britain was absolutely chef’s kiss. we were enamored from start to finish - well done.

KYLIE for THE IDOL (garret hedlund)

oh, what a STUNNING app !! it is so difficult to balance guilt and righteousness, and we feel like you did that thoroughly for jack. your level of close-reading through our skeleton was genuinely flattering, but the way you took it to new depths (and heights) was humbling. we are so, so eager to see how the tide will turn for jack, and all the possible ways you can give him a redemption arc - or the lack of one.

N for THE LOVER (zoe kravitz)

N, let me prostrate myself at eleonore’s feet. your application was so rich and beautifully written, truly embodying the lover’s feline lethality that you want to pet anyway despite knowing she might very well be your downfall. “feed me was all she had ever asked in exchange for burning day and night for him.” hello yes, we volunteer.

TILDA for THE NOBLE (madeline madden)

it was very hard choice for the noble, but tilda, i adore helene’s family’s backstory, how it seemed to rot from the core until collapse. you truly grasped the character and her yearning for abandon, her desperation, and her voice/dialogue in your in-character response was utterly delightful! we can’t wait to see her voyage from sea-legged noble lady to tide commanding shanty.

ADRIAN for THE PURSER (matthew goode)

if only you could see how we reacted when we received this app ! and trust me, the hype only increased when we got to reading it. did we channel that excitement through God-honest tears? uh, yes. we did. ( dead can’t receive letters but Edward still writes them anyway. ) we clutched edward to our chest time and time again through that - and the SPLENDID letter added at the end, what a treat to us ! we are so thankful just at the privilege of reading this. we’re even more thankful that we’ll see him on the dash.

EMI for THE ROMANTIC, wardroom steward (yang yang)

emi, we've concluded with all of your beautiful plot points that you and june do indeed, have the range - you gave us such a variety of wonderful exploration of june's personality, psyche, hopes, and dreams all wrapped up in the beautiful poetry that fit june's character like a second skin. "the light upon the ice. a brilliant, sightless mirror. it comes not from the sun but from our prometheus, barrelling out from dark waters with an inexplicable gift: fire." you've captured him so beautifully and we cannot wait to see how he will be the promethean's sun to the open seas !

CLAUDIA for THE SCION (rome flynn)

you really manged to send a :59 app and still steal the show ! how very Scion-y of you. in all seriousness, i adored augustus background so MUCH - his maternal connection, the wishy-washy tides of his family’s structure, the conflict inherent in his very development !! so so good. you took a carefree skeleton and you gave it a million possible depths. we, as both admins and players, are so grateful for it.

AERIN for THE SHADOW (sebastian stan)

aerin, it is not an exaggeration that your app had us literally with our jaws open the entire time ? you truly took us turn after turn into elijah's story and hours later, we're still breathless and trying to recover from it. you captured the shadow's overcast history the way a shadow slowly looms over you - we were absolutely consumed by the end of it, and we're all here absolutely begging for more. we can't wait to have enoch onboard this expedition !

CASS for THE GODKILLER (kofi siriboe)

this is the sort of role dreams are made of. i think i speak for everyone when i say we never could have envisioned a skeleton as terrific, terrifying, tectonic as abel. stop me with the alliterations - lapsing into poetry is genuinely the only thing left to do when the support of prose fails you? you brought us to the end of prose. their role just jumped out for us and we knew it called for an entire skeleton. what an app !

ANNIE for THE STOWAWAY (riana hardesty)

i have to confess, we had such high expectations for the stowaway, because we knew their motivation would be one of the toughest to crack - and annie, you exceeded literally even the most optimistic of them ! (You’re no musician, but playing the melody of someone else, someone who can weasel their way in and out of a bad spot - that’s one song you know how to sing well enough.) that is such a fantastic rendition of their personality, and written so, so beautifully !

LEO for THE VETERAN (toby stephens)

i think this app was the one which sent me in a banshee-screech session that was genuinely disturbing to everyone on a 100 miles radius. the way you phrased the headcanons at the end had me in stitches - which was a welcome change for how DEEPLY i was feeling wells’ backstory. from sobbing to laughter just like that, huh. you have an unprecedented power, leo, and we love to see it !

「 avan jogia. cismale. he/him. 」i hope that #lexsquad member「 SLATER MALIH SAVALIA 」adds me to the squad ! the 「 TWENTY THREE 」year old 「 LAW 」 major has been apart of the squad since 「 OCTOBER 2018」and seems to be the 「 DELPHIC 」of the group.「 SLATER」is a「 SENIOR」 and seems to enjoy 「 WRITING & PLAYING MUSIC 」but you can always find them at a squad party , too !

TW: CHEATING, ABANDONMENT, PORN MENTION, DEATH, DRUGS

Anyways lemme give you some info about my man and try to keep it as short ( I lied ) as possible I’ll have some wanted connections at the end so hit me up to plot cause I live for that :)

NAME: SLATER MALIH SAVALIA AGE: 23 MAJOR: PRE- LAW SENIOR @ LEX POSITION: A DADDY HOBBIES: givin 0 Fucks, living life to the full, writing, being an PI on his dad, spiting his family n causing problems as a FUCK U. BORN: LONDON, ENGLAND. SEXUALITY: A truE WILD BISEXUAL :”)

BACKGROUND:

So Slater was born in London, England however when he was younger he moved around a lot with his parents until they settled in LA. Mainly for his dads business and his mum had previously lived there too.

His mum was a travel writer which explains why they traveled a lot, his father runs a few escort agencies + brothels ( nevada only we do it legal here ) and also started up his own pornographic production company / film studio in LA. it would probably now be one of the biggest in the world. ( think vivid entertainment meets brazzers ) u know FILTHY RICH SHIT.

Both his parents were obviously away quite a lot, his dad ran so many businesses and hmm was hands-on lets say but the household was pretty calm when he was fairly young. his mum was super attentive and loving and just such an amazing role model and always wanted to take him with her to show him the world when she had to leave. i think he definitely was a mummas boy.

at about 8/9 however would’ve been when things kind of came crashing down for him. he really caught his dad cheating on his mum w/ one of the porn stars he hired from the studio. His dad would’ve really asked him NOT to tell him mum because it would break their family up. obviously, slater was like terrified of the chance of losing his family so he just pretended nothing ever happened.

he was so conflicted because he was keeping this huge secret and he had so much guilt but he didn’t wanna be the one to ruin things. Like his dad basically used him as a cover like expecting him to lie for him for a long time. it would’ve really eaten away at him. like it would’ve not been a one-time thing, but slater was in denial for sure.

i think one day slater would’ve slipped up in one of his lies for his dad and his mum ended up fighting out what happened and it was such a mess. it would've led to their divorce and god that was.. SOO messy. they defs didnt have a prenup and like the custody.

I think lowkey he was miserable being with his dad, he had so much resentment and sadness there. he would’ve been okay being with his mum the whole time.

His dad was really the type of parent that would use his kids against each his ex wife like they would use slater to pass on messages and being like no u can’t have him for that day etc etc And not taken slater into consideration.

his dad though really tried his absolute best to bring his mum down which was sooo sad to see, like watching her get put through the ringer by his dad and she just became a bit of a shell of who she was, because he obviously had more than enough money to do it and didn’t want her to see a dime of it even tho he.. RLLY BE LIVING THE HIGH LIFE.

slater would’ve just been back and forth between them both up until he was about 15 when his mum, unfortunately, passed away due to drugs. which was SO UNEXPECTED. i think there was definitely a lot more to it, like she definitely was self-medicating to help go through the still pending divorce. which would’ve lasted years.

anyways losing his mum devastated slater because truly she was like a best friend to him, she was. he always enjoyed the weeks at his mums more than his dad and now he knew he’d be stuck there.

he fights a lot with his dad still about everything that happened and what he did, he blames him for it and putting a LITERAL KID in the middle.

anyways though since the separation his dad had like a myriad of “ girlfriends” around who were probably all young enough to be like a step sibling tbh. he never took to any of them until his stepmom. who shockingly he actually really likes. shes one thing keeping his family together atm.

Anyways as you can imagine slaters dads business was huge and his dad is truly raking in the money but slater has always felt uncomfortable spending or even benefiting off it which is why he’s extremely secretive considering he knows where it comes from and he doesn’t exactly support his dad let alone he doesn’t want to have to explain that to people and get them looking into his family.

his father has really tried and put up this front though as if he’s a huge family man now and is conservative and super religious and smh that pissed off slater to the max. he’s like that dont make no fucking sense..

when he high school hit though they were going to country clubs all that shit slater hated basically. he truly didn’t mind acting out just to spite his dad knowing hey your a family man what are you gonna do about it??

this drove his dad so crazy and only meant more rules were put on him, it was about the only attention his dad gave him.

when hey fight though its really wild, you know slater throws it in his dads face basically just some fucking pimp and exploits people and he’s never gonna do that and he’d rather have nothing than follow in his footsteps

i think his dad has been fined multiple times for some shady shit going on in his businesses. plus its been common knowledge in the depths of the industry they heavily provide them w/ alcohol drugs etc. probably has had an issue with the treatment of the people hes hired. lawsuits. there's more under the surface that even slater doesnt know.

there would’ve been a bit of a scandal where his dad employed one of his dumbass country club friends daughters aka someone even slater knew to star in one of his adult films

but regardless like he knew he really was fortunate he lived an extremely privileged life, like he would be set for life, could sit do nothing and its good. he just never had a huge interest in it unlike his father who really always said that he would take over everything someday and it would turn into a huge family business. and he was like yikes someone come tell him.. no thanks.

His dad and him definitely had a rocky relationship after his moms death, he didn’t parent very much and just left his stepmom in so many uncomfortable situations but honestly

He saw her more as a friend though then a mum but she was the best parental figure he’s ever even had. She’d genuinely try so hard to make sure his dad was acting like one like telling him he’s going to his sons gigs or else even though slater knew his dad would come for 2 seconds to appease his wife then leave.

But growing up he’s always been super careful of who’s around him and who he lets into his life probably as a result of how secretive his family has always instilled in him to be.

Like his dad keeps saying we’re family we come first, and he never wanted slater to be sharing that with people about what they did.

But he has such a resentment to his dad, like he thinks he’s a mess he has a wife he doesn’t give a fuck about a son he doesn’t see, he does god knows what he just is so convinced he can’t turn out like him ever.

I think people genuinely think he must not come from money because the amount of people who have ever met his parents or seen his house is a handful if that.

Like he’s always hanging out at other people’s places and just he’s never been really extravagant unless its to purposely spite his dad yikes. that comes from anger.

Like he really got himself a job even though his dad said he could come work for him just cause he was like yeah I don’t want to run ur dumb company and make money off it u pos?

His dad has definitely been investigated a few times for shady practices. slater definitely started looking into law for that reason, like he genuinely thought he wants to actually be able to put guys who screw the system and own huge corporations and think they can pay outta anything in jail.

meanwhile his dad thought great a lawyer who can defend our family business smh so he supports him He has no clue slater would rather take him down.

hes on the dl investigating his dad himself. who wanna help.

PERSONALITY

losing his mom AND one his best friends showed him that he needs to really do everything he wants to and in that moment which does make him selfish at times

i think he has abandonment issues, i think like when his best friend who was kinda the reason he came to lex, happened to pass away also triggered that again ( TBD WHY im leaving this open for plots ) and that really shook him all over.

he really almost feels cursed at this stage.

he was pretty sheltered tbh because his dad wasn’t trusting AT ALL and at first was homeschooled until High school so he didn’t exactly grow up outgoing or being able to have many people at his place or tell them about his life.

i think theres not many people who know he’s related to his dad business, even tho his dad business iS HUGE and legit is his last name. and hes like yeah ha coincidence right??? not my dad at all.

He’s super fucking blunt though like he may be secretive with his personal life but his ass does not hold back which has gotten him into way too many problems.

He just feels like he grew up lying about so much, his dad was like we don't want people taking advantage of you if they find out who you are and use things against me.

he hated that and all the secrets about his dad he kept so don’t expect him to hold back on feelings or thoughts back at all

LOVES to spite and piss his dad off even if that means 30+ students at his dads place during a business meeting lets do it.

He acts a lot without thinking like he sucks at planning anything and a lot of time he seems a little flighty and that he doesn’t take things serious enough esp his relationships

.He’d really go above and beyond though for anyone who’s proven to him that they can be trusted like he’s been known to be all in he either gives it everything or nothing so he goes extravagant

will try everything once.

wild child tm.

his ass was kinda like living it up. he’s like on the brink of i dont want to just use my dads money but he’s like if i am though i wanna use it to actually do something decent, like get a law degree and be something, travel like his mum did. hes obsessed with the thought of like following in her footsteps BUT HE. NEVER ADMITS IT.

feelings who are u?

He’s definitely a realist and a little bit cynical too, like he’s seen way too much shit to really have some ideal look on life.

He doesn’t believe in some fairytale or things just happen for a reason or really in fate or anything like that.

Like he doesn’t think love fixes everything and someone can be your happiness at all . hes like clearly its only problems so.

He’s only ever really had one serious relationship and a bunch of other casual things but that was just nothing to him

He’s not closed off to them but he picks and chooses what he gives, but he’s just doubtful how someone’s gonna mix well into his life

He definitely seems aloof and a bit cold but I mean after a drink and 5 minutes he’ll be picking your brain on just about anything

loves writing in general, usually lyrics and music though.

secretly Loves a good midnight dnm overlooking the water with a trusted friend

Awesome at getting himself out of situations he can be pretty convincing lbr

lowkey has abandonment issues.

connections: donnt say im trash i know.

extra drama - his STEP sibling. aka child of his step mom.

his best friends sibling, aka the one who passed away :”(

someone whose mum dated his dad WILD.

A TABOO FLING OR CRUSH, basically he got with someone he shouldn’t of, we can decide reasons HOWEVER I’D LOVE if the other chara was the ex of his friend who passed away. HED FEEL LIKE SHIT for having feelings. the angst. and the we cant do this its wrong.

I mean... someone who actually WORKS FOR HIS DAD. i would die, could be an escort, a sex worker, someone who is signed to his dads production company, can be a pornstar or more like a cam star too.

someone who is a huge tease and rlly makes his ass beg to be with them. make him work for it honey.

ooo a really GOOOOD friend and they’ve always been “ platonic” but theres this weird sexual tension and they both know it, but like ooo it could risk the frienndship n makee it weird and like ugh.

like someone whose parents hates them hanging around w/ slater bc of his family, maybe bc they ran in the same circles from back home but they just.. cant stay away from each other.

someone hes kinda dated but they realised we’d be better off as friends even tho weve seenn each other naked, it was fun.

One of the people from back home that found out all about his entire family when the scandal was exposed. They could’ve been friends or enemies.

AN ex!! pls he defs has broken some hearts or THE ONE WHO BROKE HIS :) IF U DO THIS U WILL GET SO MUCH LOVE

An enemy Maybe someone against his family or someone he just can’t stand!

THE damn girl his fucking dad tried to employ to be in his damn movie! My ass would do wild shit for this one wild WILD SHIT.

unrequited love, someone's heart he broke without even realising it

A confidant someone he can really confide in tell-all his dumbass shit too, like his protective ass would really care for this person

Someone who’s into music as much as him pLS!! like someone who can just jam with him late nights

He needs that dnm kinda friend 😂

A fwb that’s self explanatory:)

RIDE OR DIES etc

CHILDHOOD FRIENDS.

ANYTHING IM SOOO OPEN FOR PLOTTING

( avan jogia, trans male, he/him, assassin’s creed: syndicate ) * &. i know it must be scary for you, jacob frye, after not surviving the takeover. to turn into someone like jacob "jake” fowles, a twenty-five year-old bartender at dragon’s breath brewery & fighter at the ring, right here in castle town. just remember that you are as charming as you are reckless, and to be wary, be safe, be true to who you are : neutral through and through. ( hylia gets assassin’s creed on main )

SO FUN FACT - I have been wanting to write this character in this group for months and it is absolutely a crime that it took me this long to pick him up but here we FINALLY are ! I’m genuinely shocked he’s the first Assassin’s Creed character here because I personally think all of the characters are phenomenal and it was either gonna be this character or the protagonist from two games before ( Edward Kenway of Black Flag ) but I have a slightly greater preference towards Jacob so !! Behold the living embodiment of chaotic good !! Obvious tws for death , violence , and murder under the cut because this is a series about assassins , but also gang stuff ( and a very small bullying mention in the post-snap portion ) too. I hope this is easy to understand !!

BEFORE THE SNAP / J A C O B F R Y E .

S’OKAY again I will always try and explain the games’ history and Syndicate’s specific plotline in the simplest of ways - and especially because AC can get very confusing very fast. Thankfully Syndicate is one of the more straightforward entries , but before I get into that , I have to give a basic rundown of the lore since... it will not make sense if you haven’t played any of the games.

A long long long time ago , there were these people called the Isu , and the Isu crafted something that the AC franchise refers to as Pieces of Eden. The Pieces of Eden ultimately has access to control other living beings , and they were extremely powerful.

Flash forward a little bit where you have two forces - the Knights’ Templar and the Assassin Order/Brotherhood - that struggled for these Pieces of Eden for two very different reasons.

The Templars valued order and wanted to use them to control others to achieve a utopia - believing that human corruption & essentially free will were what caused most evils of the world.

The Assassins valued freedom & wanted to preserve the free will of the world , believing that control would do them no good and a mutual understanding under this freedom would be what created a utopia.

So basically , Templars wanted peace via control and Assassins wanted peace via freedom.

Templars wanted the Pieces of Eden to control , and the Assassins knew this was Not Good and often sought to keep the Pieces the fuck away from the Templars ( at least , that’s always how I saw it. )

Of course , because we’re now on like ten main games and seventeen spin-off games it’s OBVIOUSLY way more complicated than that , just that’s the most nutshell way to explain everything. That being said , let’s jump more into Jacob & Syndicate.

SO JACOB. Jacob is one of the two protagonists of Syndicate , the younger twin to the other protagonist , his sister Evie. They were born in Crawley , raised by their Assassin father , but while Evie was always more . . . into the Brotherhood and assassin ideals , Jacob always was more of a rebel & a free spirit. But nevertheless , he grew up an Assassin like she.

Flash forward years later where the main plot of Syndicate starts , during the Industrial Revolution in 1868 , where the twins are set on heading to London , which is pretty much entirely under control of the Templars ( namely Crawford Starrick and his network ) & their syndicates ( ha ha hA ).

This . . . is sort of where Jacob & Evie separate in terms of goals - Evie’s well-aware of the Pieces of Eden and aims to collect them before the Templars do. However , Jacob’s more so intent on taking down Templars & liberating London from their control. He goes as far as to even starting a gang with his sister - known as the Rooks - to combat the Templar-controlled gang that has London’s boroughs in its grasp known as the Blighters.

Evie’s basically like “okay we’re going to collect the Pieces of Eden so the templars don’t have them bc Starrick will be more powerful if he has them” but Jacob says to her “fUCK YOU I’M A MAN WHO’S GONNA FREE THE PEOPLE” and. Yeah.

Throughout the game , Jacob’s the twin that exhibits a more impulsive , reckless , yet well-meaning approach to problems - and that sorta kinda . . . means that when he solves problems , he also accidentally makes other problems , and his sister has to clean them up because hey , you killed this Templar leader and angered a bunch of Blighters and we are fucked and Jacob can’t really. Grasp that because he’s too focused on freeing London NOW and taking out Templars NOW and [ Sleeping With Sirens vc ] do it NOW and remember deal with it LATER.

There’s a few cases where Jacob has even so ( both unintentionally and intentionally ) teamed up with Templars because he thought they could help him accomplish his goals in taking London back from them.

He teamed up with Pearl Attaway ( a businesswoman who controlled most of London’s transport and wanted basically a monopoly ) and didn’t find out until later that she was a Templar and had to assassinate her since she was the exact type of controller he wanted to rid London of

But also he struck a deal with Maxwell Roth ( basically a Blighter gang leader who had a shitton of power ) to work with him - but Maxwell saw this as let’s cause as much chaos as possible and fuck the consequences where Jacob saw it as more let’s fix problems by any means necessary and he had to shut down the deal when he saw Roth really just . . . didn’t give a fuck about anyone , including innocents. Jacob’s whole goal was to free and protect the innocents , he just didn’t care how as long as nobody got hurt.

AND THAT’S HONESTLY WHAT I LOVE SM ABOUT JACOB LIKE ... Jacob. Is the epitome of chaotic good like he cares so much about people and protecting the innocents & saving them from control that yeah he doesn’t really . . . consider the consequences of his actions especially when his actions are so chaotic but his primary goal is to free the people of London by taking down Templars and he doesn’t give a fuck how he’s going to do it , he just operates on his code of making sure none of the good people get hurt and the bad guys go down.

Eventually in the game he did come to realize the errors in his own work and way of thinking - he didn’t think much of the consequences , and therefore caused more of a wreckage than he aimed for. He loved the idea of freedom , but drew the line at absolute careless anarchy like Roth.

Basically be a REBEL not an ASSHOLE.

I love this kid tho like he’s so witty and rebellious and chaotic but also good-hearted and will still help even tho he might complain a lot about it ( looks at Abberline and Darwin ) and he !! He honestly acts before he thinks but I find those characters so refreshing esp bc he’s very emotional and adamant about acting on how he feels and his ideals and it’s honestly so. Idk I really like that about him.

He’s also canonically bisexual and that is something I will never shut up about but if you fucking even tHINK ABOUT ROMANTICIZING ROTH & JACOB’S RELATIONSHIP ( like it’s p much confirmed Roth had a thing 4 Jacob but it’s not. That’s not a Good Thing ) I will personally throw some hands with you.

...Jacob and Ned however-

SPARE NED?? SPARE NED MA’AM???

But honestly anyway TLDR; Jacob is a Victorian chaos-bringer who doesn’t really think much about the shit he does but has a heart of gold he’s just. He’s A Lot. He’s a lil bitch but a good kind of lil bitch.

ALSO ALSO ALSO I AM,,,, not exactly entirely sure where I’m pulling Jacob yet like I could pull him from the end of Syndicate’s main story but also there’s the Jack the Ripper DLC which makes me... feel things, but Jacob’s also significantly older than and a good bit of that DLC’s a bit triggering - long story short, we love and will protect Jacob Frye with our entire lives.

AFTER THE SNAP / J A K E F O W L E S .

So PERSONALITY WISE - Jake isn’t much different from his past self ; the only thing is he never grew up with his twin sister , raised an only child , and because Jacob & Evie are meant to balance each other out , he essentially grew up without an entire part of him he isn’t even aware of.

He was adopted - adopted by a working-class family from London that moved to Castle Town , and that was where Jake was raised.

Now , he was always a bit of a rebel. Always a problem child from the start. There were hundreds and hundreds of cases where he was reported either talking back to teachers , misbehaving in class , sometimes even getting into fights with other kids whether it be they were picking on him or someone else.

And he always liked the thrill of being that rebel - being that miscreant that earned a reputation ; never a mean person , never a bad dude , just somebody who . . . acted out. Acted out for whatever reason - mainly because he never liked the idea of obeying or because he taught the rules were stupid or because the rules meant some people were gonna get inconvenienced. Like , if you see someone getting bullied , why just tell an adult where you can solve the problem right then and there and sock the bully in the jaw ??

That was it. That was Jake’s philosophy.

His parents sent him to multiple hobby & art & educational camps & stuff to try and see if he could find some sort of hobby that would sorta get him out of this ‘problem child’ thing - but it never really worked. He always either got sent home earlier or was asked to never come back because hey , you can’t start a rebellion in the boys’ cabin because you didn’t like the way one of the counselors instructed you about knot tying.

Never worked out , his parents thought he was smart and would make a brilliant lawyer or doctor or something - but nope , he graduated high school , attempted college but dropped out after two years , and when his parents kicked him out , he crashed with a few friends and made a living on odd jobs before he scored working as a bartender at Dragon’s Breath.

And also . . . both fighting at The Ring and also underground matches for some coin.

Yeah.

It’s sorta-kinda through this he ALSO became aware of the other people who had to resort to means like this to survive - eventually starting his own gang of people who operated on sorta-kinda Robin Hood like terms - protect the less fortunate , combat the gangs who caused way more problems than he’d like , and also to basically uhhh flip the bird to the rich.

You guessed it - they’re called The Rooks and they’re not really . . . big , they’re just kind of. There. And nobody knows Jake’s the leader but it’s not like he’s really pressed if anyone finds out.

It’s overall not entirely different from his pre-CT life other than obvious modern differences and LACK OF EVIE sooo. Yeah !!

I’ll hopefully work on a WC page for him soon but as of rn I just kinda want to get some threads going - hope y’all enjoy my dumbass kid xoxoooo

#castletown.intro #death tw #violence tw #murder tw #gang tw #bullying mention #abt tag tbd #took me long enough 2 pick him up my god #also maxwell roth has no rights.

The first time must have been a coincidence. Beau told herself it was a coincidence. Yasha didn’t even like going clubbing. Beau had a very vivid memory of Yasha pulling her close in their- no, Yasha’s kitchen. Beau had never technically moved in, not hers, never hers- twirling her slowly to music only they could hear, telling Beau she liked a different type of dancing better.

“Face to face, body to body,” Yasha’d told her, voice low. “Skin to skin.” Beau remembered shivering with the words. Yasha claimed she wasn’t good with words, but she always had the ones to make Beau’s knees go weak.

So, a coincidence. A fluke. A completely unfathomable mistake that Yasha was at the same club she and Vorsah had come to. She must have been there for work. Must have been called in to work as a bodyguard, or… Beau wasn’t sure. She couldn’t possibly be standing there because Beau had posted about waiting in line on her snapchat story. Yasha barely used her snapchat. Coincidence.

Beau was staring at Yasha, who was sitting at the bar, eyes searching the crowd, until a blue blur came and wrapped her arms around her. “Beau!” Jester shouted, voice cutting through the loud music. “I didn’t know you came here!” Jester pulled back, taking Beau’s hands, wide smile, indigo curls bouncing with her movement, eyes glinting with trouble.

Beau returned Jester’s smile, shaking her head clear. “First time coming here.” She replied, the light and music coming back into focus, the feeling of sweat hanging in the too warm air. Beau glanced back to the bar, finding Yasha looking at her. ‘No, at Jester. Clearly that’s the only reason she’s here. No one can say no to Jester.’ She told herself. “What are you doing here?” she asked Jester, pretending that she hadn’t seen Yasha. Pretending she didn’t know Yasha existed, in fact. She’d never seen Yasha before in her life, why would she care?

“Oh, you know. I wanted to dance. Yasha came with!” Jester said around a mouthful of mischief. “Fjord is out of town visiting Vandren, and Molly was busy, and Nott is busy with wedding stuff, and Caleb and Caduceus are boring and never want to do anything fun. And you didn’t respond to my messages, so it’s just me and Yasha.”

Beau shifted a little, looking back where she’d left Vorsha, waiting for a drink. “Oh, yeah, uh, sorry I saw them but I… I’m here on a date so I didn’t reply.”

Jester bounced a little, letting out an excited squeal. “Who with? Can I meet her?” Jester’s eyes scanned the crowd behind Beau’s shoulder.

“Oh, uh,” Beau turned her head to find her date looking somewhat annoyed, staring at them. Beau shot her an apologetic smile, and gave a shrug. This was complicating things. This was a hookup, not a date. Jester always wanted things to be like in one of her romcoms and this… was not. This was physical. This was nothing like what she’d had with-

“Oh Yasha!” Jester’s voice cut through her thoughts, and Beau turned her head to see Yasha joining them, looking like a dream. Beau couldn’t help the way her heart skipped, seeing the amazon-esque woman approach.

Get your shit together, Beauregard. Beau commanded silently, dropping one of Jester’s hands. You are not a teen with a first time crush. You are experienced. You are a damn delight. Yasha not seeing that is not on you.

“Hey Yasha.” Beau said, chin lifting a little.

“Hello, Beauregard. Fancy seeing you here.” Yasha’s smile was soft, something in her eyes making Beau want to kiss her.

Beau swallowed, turning back to Jester. “You wanted to meet Vorsah right?” Beau said, “Follow me.” She pulled Jester along, pretending she didn’t care if Yasha followed. Pretending it was all fine and good. Pretending she didn’t give a rats ass about if Yasha was jealous or not. Still when Beau dropped down next to Vorsah, and turned her head to find Yasha had trailed along with, she felt a little spark of victory. This was a chance, an opportunity to make her jealous. It was perfect. “V, this is Jester, a friend of mine. And this is Yasha.” She said, waving vaguely, at them, angling her body towards the silver haired woman she was with. Take that Yasha. She’s hot as hell and she wants to fuck me. Who cares if you don’t.

Beau put her hand on Vorsah’s thigh, trailing her fingers back and forth, putting on her dumbest, most vapid smile. Tracy, the alter ego that was all too easy to put on.

Vorsah looked at Beau, then Jester, who was moving to sit down on the purple velvet lined couch on Vorsah’s other side, then to Yasha, who, Beau realized, now looked deeply uncomfortable, like she always did in clubs. Not relaxed like when she’d just been talking to Beau. “Hello,” Vorsah said, “Nice to meet you both. Did you remember my drink?” Beau stiffened. She hadn’t. She’d been so caught up in the idea of making Yasha even the slightest bit regretful she’d forgotten that the goal was to get drunk and get laid.

“Oh my gods, I’m an idiot.” Beau said laughing a little. “I’ll be right back.” She pushed to her feet, letting her hand trail over Vorsah’s shoulder as she went. Beau weaved her way through the crowd, letting her shoulders slowly drop. What are the fucking odds that the one night Jester decides she wants to go out dancing, Yasha’s the only one available to go with her. And is the night that Beau’s out on a date at the same club?! Beau ordered the drinks, and two shots for herself, which she downed in quick succession, before turning to head back to their corner. That was annoying too. They were well on their way from dancing to making out. That was the whole point of the dark corner, the couch, the drinks. Beau loved Jester, but she was also firmly in the Ban Jester from every club camp.

What do you need a club for anyway, Jes? Beau thought at her loudly. You don’t even drink.

Beau returned to find that Yasha sitting on the small table in front of the couch, taking up more space than was strictly necessary. Vorsah had angled herself towards Jester, to accommodate.

Beau put on another fake smile, this one tinged with a smirk, and went to drop next to Vorsah despite Yasha’s knees knocking the couch. Beau just tossed her legs up over Yasha’s, her thighs resting on Yasha’s knees. She watched, out of the corner of her eye, Yasha’s lips part, her breath catch. She knew this move. Beau would do this, or some variation, to draw her out, to pull her in. Watching movies on the couch, she’d drape herself across Yasha, after long hikes she’d dramatically throw herself into Yasha’s arms. Beau liked touch more than Yasha thought to give her, so Beau would go out of her way to find it. And Beau knew, looking how she looked; flushed, sweaty, hair mussed from dancing, crop top twisted, she knew that she looked like all those nights she’d go grab them some waters from the kitchen and come back to bed and throw her legs over Yasha’s to keep her from running, from pulling away. She handed Vorsah her drink and looked to Jester, who was chattering along. “What we talking about?”

Jester looked to her, a devious sparkle glinting in her eyes. “Oh, I was just telling Vorsah all about the Traveler, and how he’s so cool. And how much fun he is. And-”

All of Beau’s hopes about getting laid went out the window, for two reasons. One, when Jester started talking about the Traveler, that was the end of the night, lights out, go home. Jester could talk about the Traveler for hours and not get bored. Beau even thought the Traveler seemed like a chill dude, (Was it disrespectful to call a god a chill dude? Beau still wasn’t sure,) but he wasn’t exactly the topic she’d pick to set the mood.

And reason two... Reason two was a calloused hand rested on her knee, a rough thumb tracing impossibly soft paths back and forth across it. Beau glanced to Yasha, who’s gaze was steady on Jester. Beau swallowed, and she saw, almost imperceptibly, the corner of Yasha’s mouth lift, and then it was gone.

Beau didn’t get laid that night, and Vorsah, hot as she was, didn’t get a call for another date. Not when all Beau could think of was Yasha’s hand on her leg.

The second time it happened seemed a little more suspicious. Beau wasn’t a particularly paranoid person, but in two weeks, two different people had stood her up or flaked out on her and it was starting to feel like a pattern.

So, when she finally was out with someone, it was just one step too weird that Yasha and Molly were getting lunch at the same damn fucking dinner.

When she saw them enter and sit, she let out a long sigh, sinking down in the red and white booth.

“What… What are you doing?” Avantika, an ‘old friend’ of Fjord’s, was squinting at her from across the table. Avantika was undoubtedly hot, and though she’d been a little bit of a bitch off the bat, there was a certain amount of asshole behavior Beau could overlook if the offender was also super hot.

Beau wondered if she herself was hot enough for Avantika to overlook that she was acting like a hot slice of crazy. Beau grimaced, and laughed a little. “Uh, just, well…”

“Beauregard!” Molly’s voice cut through her flimsy excuse, sweeping towards them with his arms out. “What are the odds!?” He dropped down next to Avantika, the smirk on his lips leaving no question that he knew he was being a dick.

“Mollymauk.” Beau replied, scowling. She was so caught up in her annoyance with him she didn’t notice Yasha had followed until she was leaning against the booth, smiling fondly at Molly. Beau’s eyes caught on her, unable to pull away. She looked fucking great. Beau heart skipped when Yasha looked to her. “Hey.” Beau managed.

“Hello.” Yasha replied, her gaze piercing. Beau’s lips pulled into a smile involuntarily, and Yasha’s grew in return. It was instinctive, the joy, a long ingrained habit she’d never shake.

A delicate accented voice across the table called Beau, and it took her a second to pull her gaze back to her date.

You are on a date, you nightmare. Beau reminded herself. Not here to make eyes at a woman who doesn’t want to date your disaster ass anyway.

“Friends of yours Beauregard?” Avantika asked, brow lifting.

“Oh, goodness, Yahsa how rude we are. Where are my manners-”

“You never had any.” Beau muttered, earning a snicker from Yasha as she dropped into the booth next to her.

“I’m Mollymauk Tealeaf. Molly to my friends.” He offered a hand with a flourish, and as much of a bow as he could manage in the booth.

Avantika looked at his hand, at his signature bomber jacket, then his face, and turned away. The look on her face left a sour taste in Beau’s mouth. “And you?” She asked, gaze directed at Yasha.

The pale woman’s brow lifted, glancing to Beau. “Oh, I’m, uh…”

“This is Yasha. ‘nother friend of mine.” Beau said, gesturing vaguely. “Yasha, Molly, this is Avantika. Fjord set us up.” Avantika stiffened, gaze flicking away at Fjord’s name, but Beau continued regardless. “I know these two from… Well, it’s… kinda convoluted how we know each other, and sounds dumb saying it.”

“We met at the carnival.” Molly said with a toothy grin.

“At the school carnival.” Yasha corrected. “Freshman mixer.”

“Yeah, I already knew Fjord and Jester-” Beau began to smile, thinking of all their antics, but Avantika cut her off with a raise of her hand.

“As fascinating as I’m sure you all find this story,” She purred, voice low, her gaze making Beau feel like she was a mouse making a cats job too difficult. “If we’re going to continue this, I’d like to continue it alone.”

Beau felt a little flame of annoyance spark up. Avantika had already been a bitch, then she acted like Molly’s meer presence was a distasteful (which, come on, she was the only one allowed to be a dick to Molly,and that’s after years of actual friendship,) on top of cutting Beau off mid sentence.

“Then I guess we won’t get to continue it.” Beau said, looking down her nose at Avantika.

The redhead sputtered a moment, then slid out the opposite side of the booth and stormed towards the door.

“Well she seemed just grand.” Molly said, scooting over to pick through Avantika’s fries.

Beau let out a little groan. “Two minutes, I think that’s a record in how long it takes you to ruin one of my dates.” She said, scowling at him.

“Oh, no way.” He argued. “I once dumped a drink on that girl’s shoes, she peeled out of there so fucking fast, oh what was her name.”

Beau scowled. “Eliza?”

“Ellie.” Yasha said, taking a sip of a soda Beau only realized was hers once it was back down in front of her. “That’s not your record, surely. There was that time you invited yourself to our first date.” Beau’s eyes cut over to her, shocked to hear her mention it. They hadn’t spoken of their relationship near each other since it ended.

“Well, that didn’t ruin the night, it enhanced it.” Molly replied, leaning towards Yasha, signature smile on.

Yasha’s laugh was enough to let Beau ignore the butterflies kicking up wind in her stomach.

Later, she couldn't even be mad at Molly and Yasha for crashing. She was mad at Molly for sticking her with the bill, though. She felt justified in that.

The final dagger in Beau’s “there’s a conspiracy against me getting laid” theory came when she was hanging out with Keg.

She’d already gone on two more failed dates at that point, one of them interrupted by Nott needing her to come help with something immediately which turned out to be a question about which buttons to use up the back of her wedding gown, an event Yasha also happened to be called in for. The next one was even more of a disaster. In the time it took to call asking for the wait time at the restaurant and getting there, every table had been reserved with a cash advance. The hostess apologized, and told Beau about some celebrity woman needing the venue for the evening. Which sounded like exactly the sort of thing Marion Lavore, or someone doing a great impression of her, would do. Yasha being at the restaurant next door, picking up takeout, icing on the date ruining cake.

But those easily could have been coincidences.

Could have been, but she doubted it. She was of the opinion that Nott, Molly, and Jester were all conspiring together to keep her single until Yasha decided to take her back which was, frankly, ridiculous. Yasha had always been too good for her. Beau knew that was always going to be the inevitable end. And why would it have been their business anyway, it’s not like Beau stuck her nose into their love lives. If and when she did she was totally justified. She’d been right with Nott and Yeza, and Fjord and Jester. This was totally different. Totally completely different.

And if she kept telling herself that she might start to believe it.

Keg was the best person Beau had known in high school, and the only person she’d dated. She was the only person she’d kept in contact with from home when she’d cut off contact with her parents four months into sophomore year, the only person she’d wanted to. Keg had been her sanity trying to figure out being queer in a small town with homophobic parents. Keg was also bat shit crazy and a horrible influence.

She was an asshole. Most of Beau’s friends were assholes, it’s how she liked it. She had a two non-asshole rule, and between Caduceus and Jester, those slots were full.

She was also just that, a friend. Beau and Keg had agreed that them dating was so nonfunctional the first time, it wasn’t worth ever trying again. Breaking up had been less upsetting and more the agreed upon conclusion to the mess they were. They were still friends, of course, so as soon as she found out Keg was going to be in town they made plans, but not a date.

A distinction she didn’t make clear when she told Jester, Molly, or Nott. She needed to test her theory.

She and Keg were playing pool when the door opened, a Zemnian accent floating to her ears despite the distance and the chatter. She could clock Caleb from miles away. He’d never been subtle in his life.

“Fucking hell.” she muttered, glancing toward the door, watching a gaggle of familiar people enter. “Those absolute fuckers.”

“Hm?” Keg replied around a sip of her beer. Beau tracked her gaze to a tall blonde in the corner. Beau hit her with the blunt end of her cue stick. “Hey!” Keg replied gaze flicking back. “I’m listening, asshole.”

“Oh, what did I say then?” Beau’s gaze was still tracking her group of friends, all of them, and Yeza, which was especially rare these days with the business picking up. She saw the small smile on Yasha’s lips, watched the tall woman’s gaze flick about the bar, then saw it stop on her. Beau didn’t break her gaze, instead hitting Yasha with a soft smile. The look of shock on Yasha’s face was enough.

“Something about fucking, I think.” Keg replied, leaning on the table. “Which, I thought we were on the same page about, but I guess not.”

“Shut up.” Beau set down the cue, turning to lean herself, facing Keg. “You remember my college friends right? Just walked in. I think at least a few of them are trying to ruin my love life on behalf of another one of them.”

Keg’s eyes shot over, taking the motley crew by the bar. Beau turned her gaze just in time to see Yasha look away. “Is Nott here?” Keg asked a fond smile on her lips. She and Nott had met one weekend when Keg was in town, and had disappeared for hours, coming back the next day with a story neither would tell. “Nott’s the best.”

“Nott is one of the ones trying to ruin my chances of getting laid.” Beau replied arms crossing.

“Yeah, yeah, big deal.” Keg replied, waving a hand at Beau. “Are we going over there are are you going to keep bitching that your friends love and care about you?”

“They… You are… making a lot of assumptions without much knowledge.” Beau sputtered.

“They want to hook you and the tall, hot one back up.” Keg replied, turning her gaze back. “I agree. You’ve been a fucking downer since that ended.”

Beau opened her mouth for a rebuttal, but a familiar voice called out, “Keg!” and before she could, a small dark blur of color flung itself at Keg.

Beau sighed, setting her cue down, leaning on the table as Keg returned the hug in her typical bad-at-this manner.

“Nice to see you too Nott.” Beau lifted her drink in a greeting.

“I saw you yesterday.” Nott replied, instead of dignifying Beau’s annoyance with a proper response.

Beau let out a little sigh, heading over to the bar without another word. Her friends, the nightmare of color she called her family, were gathered around one edge of the bar. Caleb and Fjord were mid argument about who knows what, while Molly, Caduceus, and Yasha were locked in a quiet conversation, Molly and Yasha looking intense, Caduceus looking confused. The three fell silent as Beau drew near, Yasha’s eyes on the floor.

“Oh, Beau!” Jester was spinning on the stool as Beau drew near, a soda in hand, smiling wickedly. “I didn’t know you’d be here.”

“Mhmm.” Beau replied, brow lifting. “Sure Jester.” Jester smiled at her sweetly, and Beau scowled. “You’re ridiculous.” she said, “You too, Mollymauk.”

Molly put a hand on his chest offended. “Beau, I don’t know what you mean.”

“Fuck you, Molly.”

“Fuck you too, Beau.”

“Molly.” Yasha’s voice was soft, nearly pleading. It drew Beau’s gaze to her face. She was flushed, flustered. Yasha was almost never flustered. Beau shook it off, looking back to Molly and Jester.

“You both, and Nott for that matter, need to cut the crap, alright? Yasha do you even know the nonsense they’re up to?” she asked, brow lifting.

“What we are up to?” Molly replied, looking to Yasha. “How’d blame get shifted to us?”

“Yeah, it wasn’t my idea!” Jester replied, straightening up.

“The execution was all you.” Yasha replied, pointing at her. “I was kidding.”

“You don’t kid.” Molly replied, looking at her through his lashes. “And the second time was your idea too.”

“You all continued the… Okay, well you know I was in the right on that one.” Yasha replied, arms crossing.

Beau’s eyes flitted between them confusion in her gaze. “What?”

“That Avantika was a character though. Fjord must have been on something strong back then.” Molly mused, drawing Fjords glare briefly, before he turned back to his and Caleb’s conversation.

“I’m sorry, what?” Beau repeated.

“If you had just turned off twitter notifications we probably would have stopped. It was just so sad seeing you get annoyed when ever your phone dinged.” Jester continued to Yasha with a pout.

“What the fuck?” Beau said, voice raising. “You…” she pointed to Yasha. “You’re the one sabotaging my dates?”

Yasha went still and silent, lips parted, staring at Beau like maybe she’d forget the conversation if Yasha didn’t reply.

“You thought we were messing with you of our own accord?” Molly asked, brow lifting.

“Come on, Beau.” Jester replied, head tilting. “You know my pranks are less destructive than this.”

Beau’s gaze was on Jester when Yasha started to move, a step back, then turning, then rushing towards the door.

Beau’s lips parted in offense. “You… You’ve got to be kidding me.” She muttered, before turning to chase Yasha out.

Beau caught the form of Yasha around the building and sprinted to catch up with the taller woman. At the edge of the parking lot, summer air hot and sticky, the sun starting to slowly set, she managed to get a hand on Yasha’s wrist. “Hold up,” She said, planting herself on the asphalt. “Just, come on Yasha.” she said, head shaking, a pained smile on her lips. “What… the fuck. You dumped me.”

Yasha turned back to her, framed by clouds and orange and pink light, eyes not quite meeting Beau’s. “I… am aware of that.”

“So…” Beau prompted when Yasha didn’t elaborate.

“I was trying to come up with a way to… fix that.” She said, eyes flicking over Beau’s face then steadfastly over Beau’s shoulder. “In my defense I was kidding when I told Jester we should crash your date. And when I told Molly that we should get lunch where you and that horrible redhead were.”

Beau nodded a little. “How about when Nott called me, or when the Ruby suddenly needed a venue? All someone else's idea?”

Yasha’s lips pressed in that way they did when Beau caught her in a lie. “I can’t… say that exactly.”

Beau shook her head, then reached to pull Yasha down by her collar, kissing her without another moment of hesitation. “This is the dumbest plan to win me back ever.” she muttered against her lips.

Yasha’s hands found Beau’s waist, and Beau could taste her smile. “Maybe.” She admitted.

“Definitely.” Beau replied, pulling back. “Just to clarify, you don’t have to ruin our dates going forward. You should make sure your helpers know that too.”

Yasha laughed, and pulled Beau into another kiss. “I’ll let them know.”

NAOMI SCOTT, DEMIGIRL, SHE/THEY. — looks like MELINOE “LINA” CTHONIUS is attending AURORIA UNIVERSITY in auradon. they're the TWENTY year old child of HADES & PERSEPHONE, which means they're from THE ISLE OF THE LOST. heard they're INTUITIVE & CHARMING, but can also be RESENTFUL & JEALOUS ; we all have our bad days. people normally associate them with WILTING FLOWERS, INK-STAINED HANDS, & CHIPPED BLACK NAIL POLISH.

*finger guns* hello hi it’s seph back at it again w/ another character ! as usual, you can dm me whenever if you want to plot/rp, or you can contact me on my discord @ seph !#7477 ! ! anyways, let’s get this show on the road i guess !

i. climbed up the tree of life, kicked out of paradise. BASIC INFORMATION.

MELINOE SOTEIRA “LINA” CTHONIUS. daughter of hades & persephone.

╰ ˚ demi-girl. she/they pronouns.

╰ ˚ scorpio sun. scorpio rising. leo moon.

╰ ˚ spotify. pinterest.

╰ ˚ soteira is a greek epithet that means ‘ savior ’ was added to the names of gods such as demeter and persephone. meanwhile, cthonius is a greek epithet meaning ‘ of the ground / underground ’ and was usually used by hades.

ii. living good, doing evil is the toss of the dice. MORE INFORMATION.

╰ ˚ she was never like her mother, persephone soteira, who embraced both the darkness and the light, the cold of winter and the warm glow of spring as parts of her whole being.

╰ ˚ she was the daughter of the goddess of spring, she always thought how unfair it was that they were deprived of the luxuries of auradon, the ones the rest of her extended family enjoyed.

╰ ˚ her father, hades aidoneus, had technically been the only one that was forced to live in the isle, but persephone had other plans, campaigning for amnesty for her husband, and when that didn’t work, going with him willingly to the isle, which pissed off a lot of gods — it was both an act of rebellion and of love.

╰ ˚ entitled? maybe just a little bit. even in the isle her father had always pampered her, his little goddess of ghosts, and she spent most of her days in the isle living a pampered life.

╰ ˚ see, a little before melinoe and her sibling were born, hades had started up a business, of sorts, to hold on to that one last bit of power he so often craved. ( i have yet to figure out what exactly hades’ business is but lbr, he probably managed to monopolize a basic need in the isle, i.e. water or energy, and turned that to profit off of people / have people work for him. bc ## capitalism u know )

╰ ˚ so, yeah, lina’s life was much easier than those living in the rest of the isle. that doesn’t mean that her life didn’t suck, the isle was still a shitty place to live in, but with a relatively healthy relationship with both her parents and the fact that stealing wasn’t a necessity for her to do to survive every day, so her life was relatively easier.

╰ ˚ lina was, despite the environment she was raised in, well-mannered and charming, though there was always something behind her smile that caught people off guard — it was genuine of course, but it always seemed to unnerve people, as if she had darker motives and she did. she was too good at being, well, good, in the isle of the lost — there had to be some ulterior motive.

╰ ˚ and there were. beneath her charming smiles and well-mannered demeanor, lina had fantasies of enacting her revenge on the heroes who robbed her of a life she deserved.

╰ ˚ her fantasies usually go like this: for some unknown reason, the magical barrier preventing the villain kids from crossing the bridge would suddenly disappear, and the moment she steps out, she regains all her powers — which, for some reason, immediately come back to her with no training necessary — and she’d haunt the hell ( pun intended ) of auradon.

╰ ˚ except, now that she’s finally free from the isle, her powers haven’t exactly come back. of course this now brings up the topic of if she ever had powers, wonders if father’s nickname for her as his goddess of ghosts was just a nickname and not an actual godly title.

╰ ˚ so, yeah, while she’s charming the hero kids, she’s also desperately trying out any means possible to see if she could get her magic back.

╰ ˚ a tl;dr on her is that she’s just this big ball of anger with bottled up issues hidden behind this really well-mannered and charming facade, who’s ready to enact revenge on the people she thinks is responsible for her shitty life, only to have her powers not reveal themselves by the time she arrives in auradon.

iii. couple of wild eyes, cup full of of high life. WANTED CONNECTIONS.

╰ ˚ one. a sibling ! ! preferably zagreus or macaria ( a.k.a. the rest of underworld kids in myths ) , but really, i’m not picky ! their relationship will depend on how you sculpt their personality! suggested faceclaims are jesse roth, avan jogia, summer bishil, ashika pratt.

╰ ˚ two. a best friend from the isle. her partner in crime, probably the only one she tells about her fantasizing on wrecking havoc upon auradon.

╰ ˚ three. friends ! maybe other villain kids ?? or hero kids who surprisingly impress her enough that she decides to befriend them? she’s not a total villain who thinks that friendships are overrated; she values them, especially when they can benefit her in some way.

FOR MORE WANTED CONNECTIONS, CLICK HERE.

of course, if you don’t see your character in any of the wanted, connections above, then don’t hesitate to contact me here or on my discord seph !#7477

she’s an angel and a devil of her own device.

Surprise

AN: To my dear friend, @hinataoc. Happy Birthday! I gonna be honest, I'm so sorry that forgotten your birthday. You deserve so many great things for being a wonderful person I know.

You have help me in so many ways. Such as how improve with writing, leaving nice comment of my artworks, and listening to me when I'm feeling down. It hard to believe that we know each other for so long now.

Anyways, I hope you have a great birthday. May you and your family enjoy life for many years to come.

Here little fic I wrote, sweet and simple.

Disclaimer: The following ocs belong to @hinataoc. Please don't take her characters without her permission. Enjoy.

***

Today has been an odd day for her. For starter, Hinata was given a list of tasks by her surrogate parents to get certin iteams that are written on paper. Some of these are just plain bizzare to her since they were so random. How on earth, where she can get a seagull egg? Hinata could already scent that they are up to something. But she went along with it, just to see what kind of outcome she will get once she done with all of this.

It's like going on a fetch quest, but without the fantasy part to make it exciting. She practically went all over town to get the iteams she needed to buy. Taking her at least two hours or more to get all of them done. All she have to do now is head straight home.

Thankfully, she made it back home from her long journey.

"Finally," Hinata sign in relief when she finally arrived home. Already imaginings to head straight to the door, heading toward her room, and plop onto her bed. Where she can just relax, proably read her favorite novel or watch a movie.

The red-haired girl walk up the steps to reach the front door. She shifted the many plastics bags she carry in her arm to reach her purse. She begin look through her things until she pull out the keys to the house. Using to open the front door, so she can go inside.

From the moment she step inside, she notices something is off. The living room look very dark than usual. She look around to see all the curtains are close. Preventing the sunlight from entering inside.

"Hana, Shin, Kairi?" Hinata called out her family, but there was no response. Only dead silent filling in the room. Wondering where they could be, she left the bags at the entrance, and about to search through the room. Until heard whispers coming from somewhere.

Hinata remain silent and follow the faint sounds, leading her to the kitchen.

"She here..."

"Shhh...quite!"

The whispers died down. Making her become more curious than ever before.

"I wonder what's going on." Hinata asked to herself.

As she step in the kitchen area, the lights imedently turn on and flurry of colorful confetti sprinkles all over her.

"Surprise!!!"

Hinata's hearts begin to beat against her chest, from both surprise and joy. She see all her friends and family together in one place. She can see Sora and Kairi wearing goofy party hats, also blowing party horns at her. There's also Sam, Avan, and Jack the ghost dogs holding out gifts for her. Then there was her foster parents, standing behind them and both holding a birthday cake.

"You guys!" Hinata try to find right words to express her feelings to them. "This is amazing! You really don't have to go this far."

"Do you have any idea how hard it took us to set up all of this?" Sam spread out her emphasis the decorations in the kitchen.

"We just wanted show you how much we all love you." Avan added in.

"Yeah, you're our best friend!" Sora joined in.

"Your the best!" Kairi chimed.

Jack simply let out a happy bark, and fly across the room to give his owner a lick on the cheek. Making her giggles as his ghostly togue tickles her cheeks.

"Everyone, thanks you so much for doing this!" Hinata smile in pure delight, and lifted her spirit up by their kinds words. But then, she realized something is missing. "Hey, where-"

Before she can finish saying it, Hinata feels a strong pair of arms wrap around her torso, and pull her into a tight embrace. Also turning her body around to face at a different direction. She let out a yelp in pure shocked until she look up to see a familiar face with a beautiful shades of sea green eyes.

"Happy birthday, sunflower." The silver-haired teen said it, smoothly and warmths.

"Riku..."Hinata's cheeks blush from the moment he said those words.

"Did you like my surpise?" Riku smile, playfully.

She shakes her head,"No..." Then suddenly, Hinata brought her arms up, wrapping them around Riku's strong neck, and manage to pull him down to her eye level. She smirk at the sight of Riku being surpise, too."I love it!" She answer with a kiss on his lips.

The two lover are deep in their kiss. Ignoring the fact they are being watch by their closet friends. But they didn't care, all it matter is the love and joy they expirencing right now.
