#how to go from underestimated to unstoppable

[subwaybooks]

Imagine overcoming the things holding you back, breaking through the barrier of self-doubt and fully becoming the person YOU were BORN TO BE! In Believe IT, Jamie Kern Lima, founder of IT Cosmetics, shares the wild but true story of how a once struggling waitress turned her against-the-grain idea into an international bestselling sensation, eventually selling the company for over a billion dollars and becoming the first female CEO of a brand in L’Oréal’s 100+ year history. Faced with self-doubt, body-doubt, God-doubt, down to her last few dollars and told “No one is going to buy makeup from someone who has your body,” Jamie reveals for the first time what really went down, how she almost didn’t make it, how she learned to trust herself, and the powerful lessons you, too, can use to go from underestimated to unstoppable. With radical vulnerability and honesty, Jamie takes you on a journey through deeply personal stories of heartbreak and resilience—including accidentally finding out she was adopted when she was in her twenties and the reverberations this has had on all aspects of her life. Jamie also pulls back the curtain on her fight to change the beauty industry’s use of unrealistic images, on behalf of all the little girls who are about to start doubting themselves, and all of the grown women who still do. Spellbinding, riveting, with raw vulnerability and down-to-earth warmth, Believe IT shakes your soul and shows you that you, too, have what it takes to believe in yourself, trust yourself, and go from doubting you’re enough to knowing you’re enough! Do you have big goals, hopes, and dreams but let rejection get in the way? Do you struggle with feeling like you’re not enough and like success is something that happens to other people, but have a hard time believing it’s possible for you? Do you let past mistakes and failures hold you back? Do you know deep down inside that you were created for more, but somehow still doubt yourself?

An AU where Tintin is a crime lord, inspired by @jerseyhobby 's post here!

Detective Rastapopoulus is one of the most brilliant minds in his department. His talent has been long overlooked due to his status as an immigrant, but when a new teenage menace starts to stir up the streets, Rastapopoulus's knack for digging into the murky depths of the criminal underworld is called upon.

His target is only known by his alias, Tintin. At just seventeen he already has a few bank heists, smuggling operations and a chain of illegal clubs under his belt. He operates like a phantom, making himself hardly known. Those who have had business with him never recall him raising his voice, as he simply does not need to. Manners go a long way, and manners are an effective mask for the brutality required to maintain such an operation.

Few are confirmed to know him personally. He has his beloved dog, Snowy, who has a taste for expensive jewelry, and his right hand man, a pickpocket-turned jewel thief he met in Shanghai. Together they are unstoppable, nothing is outside their reach - and when the Karaboudjan, a large shipping vessel goes missing, along with its crew and captain, Rastapopoulus just knows they are involved. If only he can keep his temper and ego in check, he might just be able to finally put an end to Tintin's reign of chaos, and perhaps earn the recognition he so desperately craves.

I think an AU where Tintin uses his abilities for crime would be an interesting way to see how he's impacted people he's met, so for this take I have only inverted Tintin and Rastapopoulos - Haddock is still an honest man, but his vulnerability leaves him open to being manipulated. He becomes Tintin's equivalent to Allan Thompson, only this time motivated by fear for his life rather than money. Alcohol, threats and his rock-bottom self esteem keep him in line.

Calculus is scammed by Tintin for his inventions, leaving him feeling deeply betrayed as he is someone with strong morals. He vows revenge, his tunnel vision leading him down incredibly destructive paths. He was initially targeted by Tintin because he just seemed naive and easy to exploit, but Tintin severly underestimates him, despite Chang's warnings. Not only does Tintin have the law on his tail, but a mad scientist with nothing left to lose, who has access to devastating explosives.

Chang simply wants somewhere he belongs. Canonically he's stolen from cops before, so there's no doubt that if Tintin dragged him into crime he would follow along - but he may start to doubt if their bond is built more on what he can do for him rather than his value as a person.

Rastapopoulos this time gets to use his cunning to catch a slippery crime lord, but he still has the same shortcomings as his canon counterpart. He sorely craves attention and praise. He has a terrible short temper. He craves power and influence. He starts to use increasingly questionable methods for his investigation, as his higher ups breathe down his neck for being incapable of catching a couple of queer teenage hoodlums.

Tintin himself isn't motivated by money or power, he's looking for thrills and control over his life. Canonically he's rather emotionally shut off, and he's no different here. He doesn't let himself get too attached to anyone else. Unlike canon Rastapopoulos, I can imagine a crime lord Tintin pouring money and resources into communities in need, and opening up spaces for marginalised groups like bars for queer people. He still wants to do good deep down, but just doesn't quite believe he is a good person.

i give an unending dream to you

men who can't fathom a future without you - so they refuse to let it happen ft. sae itoshi, sunday, malleus draconia

this is from @saetiate's post that she was kind enough to let me write a piece based off of

notes: yandere vibes (i'm back to my roots), fem reader, mildly unhealthy relationships, heavy possessiveness on the boys end, title is from this please listen to it and i'll give you ten thousand kisses

༄ sae:

“it’s like i’m fucking talking to a brick wall. the same shit keeps happening and it feels like you’re not trying at all,” you spit out with vitriol, slamming the cabinet shut in the kitchen as the wood splinters beneath your force.

if sae is even hearing you, he shows no signs of it. the entire time you’ve been screaming at him, throwing things, making accusations - he’s just been sitting atop one of the chairs at the island. his demeanor seems rather bored, if anything. you almost wish he’d fight back just so you know your words are reaching him in some way.

it’s only once tears of frustration begin to well in your eyes that he finally sighs and has the gall to ask, “are you finished?”

the sheer audacity of the question causes your tears to fall with anger, spiking your temper once more. you’re half a second away from cursing him out again but you know it’ll get you nowhere. instead, you clench your fists and huff before grabbing your car keys and silently making your way to the front door.

sometimes you forget just how fast sae is, because it’s as if he teleports in front of the door. he stares down at you with what seems to be indifference, but you know him well enough to sense the quiet fury behind his eyes - waiting to break free from its confines.

“you’re not going anywhere,” he tells you with no room to argue, his fingers wrapping around your wrist. “not until your little temper tantrum is sorted.”

even though you try to tug away from him, it’s clear he’s not letting this go. sae is both the unstoppable force and the immovable object in everything he does. 

he brushes his lips against your ear for a brief moment before kissing beneath it. his voice is nearly a whisper when he speaks, “if you’re done being a brat, i’d like to at least get a word in before you leave and do something stupid.”

you narrow your eyes at him and scoff. well, at least he’s finally acknowledging you. “and if i hear you out, then can i leave?” his lips twitch in amusement. 

“not a chance.“

༄ sunday:

the parlor car is eerily silent, the rest of the express having sensed the incoming argument and opted to retreat to their rooms. sunday’s wings are twitching anxiously as he hovers close enough for you to be in his reach but not enough that you’ll freak out on him again. 

“my dove,” he says in that soothing voice of his, “don’t you feel you’re overreacting just a bit?” 

you want to crush his windpipe for even suggesting it, but something seeps into your brain as his words wrap around the depths of your psyche. it tells you to relax, let yourself be held in your lover's embrace once more. it’s peaceful, calming, alluring in its desire for you to submit yourself into what you know so well.

it’s not your voice at all.

“i should’ve known a control freak like you would try some shit like this,” you manage to get out through gritted teeth. forgive him, he loves you so dearly, echoes in your mind. the words nearly spill from your lips if not for you putting all your willpower into keeping your lips shut.

his expression goes from concern to disapproval in an instant. the sudden invasion of your personal space as he makes his way over isn’t lost on you. it’s his pattern - guilt, control, smother. 

“it seems i’ve underestimated you, my little rebel,” he muses, bringing your hand to his lips for a gentle kiss. “denying the harmony’s influence so easily -  it seems you’ve gotten strong without mentioning it to me.”

the implication of his words is clear ; if you can escape his honeyed words, what else will you do to slip from his grasp?

“no matter. you could do with some more training, wouldn’t you agree?”

༄ malleus:

the library is dead silent as you flip through one of the beginners magic textbooks crewel had given you. not that it’s odd for a library to be quiet, but the reason it’s more empty than usual is a rather odd occurrence. “can you linger a bit less menacingly?” you murmur in an irritated tone. 

malleus simply blinks owlishly at your request from the other side of the table. you’re used to him following you around out of sheer interest for your ‘human tendencies’ (his words, not yours), but you underestimated how annoying it would be when you’re in the middle of a disagreement. 

after a few more moments you slam the book shut with a huff, fully aware you’re not going to get any meaningful studying done with him staring you down in your peripherals. when you stand from the seat he echoes your movements. the students part and scamper away from his path as he follows behind like your shadow.

there’s honestly a good chance you’d be less angry with him if he just gave you some space like you desired, but he’d rather have his horns ripped from his skull than leave you alone for more than thirty seconds.

“have you found it within your heart to forgive me yet, beloved?” he asks calmly, as if it’s somehow your fault that you’re even upset to begin with. 

your head whips around in a flash, rage contorting the usually delicate features of your face. he’s either a bonafide manipulator or completely dense, and both of the options seem to piss you off equally at the moment.

“give me a fucking break, malleus!” you yell, not missing the way his eye twitches from your lack of using his nickname. “i put up with a lot of your shit, but i’m seriously sick of you treating my friends like they’re criminals-”

“spade does have a charge on his record, my love,” he counters smoothly, which does nothing to satiate your anger. you pull back when he tries to reach for you, but the swirling clouds beginning to form in the sky make you think twice.

“i care a great deal about your safety and wellbeing. it’d do no good for my future betrothed to be involved in something that endangers your reputation or, sevens forbid, your health.”

out of sheer pettiness, you mutter under your breath, “keep acting like this and there won’t be a betrothed for you to marry.”

his self control snaps like a twig as lightning strikes the bench nearby, making you scream and instinctively leap towards him for protection. his arms quickly wrap around you like a python, trapping you against his body.

“there will be a wedding, and you will soon see the error in your ways. i simply pray you one day come to understand that everything i do is out of my endless love for you,” he coos, but it feels more like a death sentence. whatever his ‘love’ entails, you’re not sure if it’s something you want to stick around for.

not that he’d ever give you a choice.

posh gang as chess pieces lets discuss

We all know that Annabel treats other characters like chess pieces. Annabel herself is the queen, and Lenore, from her point of view, is the king who must be protected at all costs. I admit, however, that Annabel may be wrong about this, because unlike the chess king, Lenore is quite an active participant of the game. Interestingly, in this frame, the king is white (Annabel's color) and the queen is black (Lenore's color). Perhaps this is a reflection of how their roles changed after death, or perhaps it means that Annabel initially misinterpreted their positions with Lenore.

As for the others, in the comic Annabel clearly says that Prospero is a bishop and Monty is a rook. I would assume that Duke is a rook as well, solely because it makes Annabel's attempt to save Lenore by immuring him in the wall a castling.

What about the other characters? I won't consider the misfits but I want to talk about Ada and Will, as the last members of Annabel's group.

Will is obviously a pawn. Most people don't take pawns seriously, and they're not even always considered pieces in the game. Will is at the bottom of the characters hierarchy, he is nothing more than a tool to achieve other people's goals, even misfits treat him very leniently, absolving him of responsibility for his actions. And I mean it in a bad way, as if they see him as an extension of Monty's willpower, and not as an independent person. I love Will, but seriously, what reason did they have to stop Monty in that one scene?

However, many underestimate pawns. They have a lot of advantages: they are numerous, and this reflects Will's ability to clone himself. What's even more obvious is that when pawns reach the end of the board, they can transform into any other piece, just like Will can transform into other people. This is one of the many things that make me think of Will as a dark horse among the cast: after all, every pawn can become a queen. A pawn can replace any piece on the board except the king, but no piece can replace a pawn.

In addition, pawns usually open the game. Either pawns or, a little less often, knights.

And now we're moving on to Ada. In fact, at first I've chosen a knight for her by elimination, because all the other pieces are already occupied. But let's be honest: it suits her. In the first season, Ada has long been one of two characters (along with Morella) who "torn" between the two groups, so she is the most unpredictable among the entire cast. You never know what to expect from her. Similarly, the knight's movements cannot always be predicted, because unlike other pieces, knight "jumps" through the diagonals, stepping over chessmen just as Ada is ready to go over students heads. In addition, Monty calls Ada his "ace in the hole," that is, his unobvious advantages. This also corresponds to the style of playing knights, whose moves are often simply not read by the opponent in advance.

An interesting feature of the knights is that when attacking it, the attacking piece remains safe, because the knight needs space to move, it is useless up close. When Ada is attacked by other characters (and this happens all the time), she cannot defend herself. The only exception is her first manifesting against Prospero, but even in that scene she is technically unable to protect herself. She just snaps at him and uses violence, which in the long run does not change his attitude towards her. No one begins to take her feelings seriously, she remains alone and becomes an easy target for Monty. He gets as close to her as possible, and she becomes defenseless.

However, when she finally does have the strength to attack? She is unstoppable, deadly, she will sweep away everything in her path. You can attack the knight without the risk that he will respond, sure thing. But if the knight attacks you? Good luck.

As someone once told me on this website: let Ada become her own knight. The girl deserves it.

Difficult Placements in the Natal Chart.❤️‍🩹🖤

small disclaimer; none of these placements listed are depicted as bad or evil placements, these are areas in a chart that require more attention to and tell more about a much more darker/struggling side about the individual.

Sun in 8H/6H/12H. These individuals may take on the heavier parts of life rather than having things come easy to them. These individuals have a possibility of having a distorted self-image, they may not even know exactly who they are and may bc hidden from the spotlight. These individuals are resilient and often work hard in secret, they’re the type that don’t trust anyone and sometimes not even themselves, they can be critical on themselves. Additionally these individuals may have a struggling or complex relationship with father/make figures.

However in maturer years they learn to go with the flow of things, and find peace even in difficult moments.

Along with this, mainly any personal placements within the 8H/12H. These individuals at a young age are shown to the tougher sides of lives, they experience a lot and hold lots of knowledge even at young ages about various things from their own personal experiences. They have a heightened awareness and deeper understanding of the things around them. Wise yet unheard, often very misunderstood individuals. They benefit from expressing their emotions verbally or even through art or their desired professions.

Lilith at 18°. These individuals suppress their shadow side and several traits that make them, them. These individuals are strong beings yet are often underestimated by others because of how much they suppress themselves. These individuals should work more on their inner beings (ie. shadow work) to appreciate the different sides of themselves.

Jupiter 3H. These individuals in early life may lack when it comes to communication skills, they often hold themselves back from their full potential. Once they get out of this they can amass huge amounts of success, they grow when going out of their comfort zones and communicating with others.

Sun/Moon-Pluto Asp. (Esp. conjunction). These individuals are powerful people, seriously. However, they often have complications with their image (Sun) or their emotions (Moon), they can. They tend to have inner turmoil that they usually hide effortlessly, their issues may fluctuate and they’re always experiencing new things every month, they often can’t catch a break.

Sun-Chiron. These individuals have serious issues with their images, often dealing with power struggles in younger years. As they get older they may have felt like they spent an eternity trying to figure themselves out yet still haven’t made any progress (I promise its okay🫂). Once these individuals accept their past experiences and grow their confidence and work on themselves, they’re truly unstoppable.

Chiron in Aquarius/Leo/Gemini or in 11H/3H. These individuals may have struggled in the past or have a common theme in their lives relating to their self expression. May have been force to hide their true selves and conform to societies standards. They may have been treated as the odd “black sheep” or the outcast in groups/family. Misunderstood however as they get older they learn to shine a lot better and it comes almost effortlessly.

Moon-Mars/Mercury Negative aspects. These individuals may struggle with emotions. They may spiral out of control and express things that they don’t actually mean. They often don’t know how to properly express negative feelings and people may see them as too much. They find it hard to put their thoughts into words. They often need to journal out their feelings, even talking to people anonymously may benefit even possibly therapy.

Jupiter/Moon-Neptune negative aspects. These individuals are more likely to highly depend on daydreaming as means of escape. They may even resort or become highly co-dependent on false depictions of love, substances, etc. With these individuals there’s like a huge storm cloud that’s constantly covering up the beauty of a scenery. They may overindulge in materialistic things and are likely to maladaptive daydream or technology. These individuals should spend more time away from material things, or do small activities that keeps their mind stable and working.

Neptune/Pluto in 11H. These individuals constantly are blinded by their surroundings and their enemies tend to hide in plain sight. They’re more likely to fall susceptible to the evil eye, and attract envy a lot from others. They may be delusional when it comes to friendships, and not notice that the people they call their “friends” are actually trying to tear down their energy. These individuals are also likely to absorb a lot of negativity from others and can often feel drained easily from being around people. They benefit from becoming more aware of the people around them, perhaps having a form of protection near them and watch carefully who they let in their vicinity.

Uranus 12H. Similar to an Aquarius Chiron imo, these individuals suppress who they are from others. They have a subconscious fear that often holds them back from expressing their unique side completely. They benefit and notice good change when they be their authentic selves rather than conforming to society because they truly are one-of-a-kind individuals 🖤.

Saturn in the 1H/5H/7H/11H/8H. These individuals often restrict themselves from the pleasures of life, they can’t have fun and often are overly critical of themselves. These individuals are highly reflective people and often have trust issues, they overanalyze people and themselves throughout their lives. These individuals need to learn to let go of the harsh standard they hold themselves and other people to, they can’t change things that are out of their control and should learn to relax and live life, these individuals will find fulfillment when they finally let go.

Virgo Moon. These individuals may have grown being overly criticized, they also may have had a critical mother and often take onto these traits into their adulthood. These individuals are the type to work hard and don’t give themselves any time relax at all, they are genuine people yet most people often misunderstand them as controlling or too serious.

Mars/Mercury in Pisces/12H. These individuals may have a lot of suppressed feelings, they often don’t express how they truly feel and perhaps people around them often made them feel that they shouldn’t show their emotions. These individuals can even be explosive at times, they need to learn to control their emotions.

Saturn Square Venus. These individuals not only struggle in relationships but often struggle with themselves and their self-love, these individuals restrict themselves and often have a closed minded approach when it comes to love, either this or they don’t receive much opportunity to experience it. These individuals are pushed to find love within themselves without the dependency of someone else.

——————————————————-❤️‍🩹

That’s all for now, please comment if there’s any other things that can be added. And if you have any of these placements listed here’s a hug 🫂!

𝐎𝐍𝐄

sweeties you’re a force to be reckoned with! You don’t know challenges. You don’t know the word “STOP” — in fact, there’s no stop sign for you. Giving up is not an option for you. You know your strength and you persist. Once you laid your eyes on something or someone you want, the only thing that you can see is “i’m gonna get it” as if you’re the hunter who has found its prey. People are fearful of your drive, honey. You’re the definition and embodiment of -unstoppable-. A task too hard for you? —impossible. With that brain of yours, no one can outdo and that’s for a fact. Witty at the start and improvisation at play when necessary though nothing without a plan. Master at creativity. ideas that don’t seem to lack and a presence marked by charm enough to fascinate anyone. Visage looking fine as hell but on top of that ease is your second name. You never seem to stress ‘cause everything is just effortless for you. You’re a natural. Humble and unpretentious all the time yet not to be underestimated at all time. You never let them get a hold of you. Mind game on point while you just inevitably happen to unable to be read. so foolish of anyone to believe in the blank face you present ‘cause that poker face skills is not to be played with yet every time they get trapped by not able to learn from it. How come you make it so hard for anyone to know your next move without even intending to do so? maybe, it’s a talent. Quiet confidence and letting the result speak for itself might be the strategy. The secret to your power? —well after all, isn’t it obvious? Winning by being just oneself. No one is you and that’s your power. No one can even come near that. Uniqueness prevails. disrespect will be punished. You need to know your place!

bonita perra! 💸

𝐓𝐖𝐎

queens & kings, there’s not much to say if I’m being honest. Never have I seen so much calmness and control in someone like you. You won the idgaf game! All the inner knowing that everything will turn out in your favour anyway is hot. Your energy shows it all. You trust and believe in yourself like that’s the only thing you’ve ever known — you finessed it to say the least. Indeed it was you alone who has built yourself up to who you’re now, isn’t that true? you decided and did. Dropped all the bullshit to focus on you and what matters most to you. Your wisdom comes from letting go of what hurt you and the things that no longer serve you. You make yourself your top priority. Let go of the past and now you know that you’re that bitch who is not to be messed with. You didn’t cross over that bridge for nothing, I hear you. Self love so unbreakable no one can ever shake. Greatest asset your worth that’s expensive like diamonds. You make yourself shine like stars in the sky, your light would never ever able to go out. Life is what you make it and you made yours a paradise. No one dares and is able to disturb your peace ‘cause you’re out of reach. Not even a firestorm can sway or fade you. You’re in your own lanes moving without them knowing. Too swift to be able to be caught. Exclusivity at its finest. Mind blowing values that accompany and define you forever. This is someone who knows how to stand out from the crowd by doing NOTHING — absolutely nothing but to observe. You have the eyes that speak through the soul. No need to say thousand words and be loud. People get drawn to you like a moth to a flame. You enjoy the attention but know deep down nothing beats a golden heart.

hasta la vista, baby!🍸

𝐓𝐇𝐑𝐄𝐄

fierce like a lion, sharp like a knife. Your words cut and sting but they are nothing but the truth. Independent since birth but that’s a given. You’re your own boss. You don’t give anyone the chance to play — not when it comes to you. You know what you want. You know how to get whatever that you yet want and still not have. You know your stand and you stand your ground —something that should be obvious but not always so evident in everyone. No fear is ever greater than your own. they say “no one is your enemy, you might be your own worst enemy” —and you know it but that doesn’t stop you from functioning at your greatest. why? because you know yourself best. You wouldn’t let yourself be your own enemy. you’ve worked on yourself relentlessly —for what it’s worth it seems like. you deserve the acknowledgment. pff as if you don’t know it. this is someone who is and acts proudly of themselves. rightfully so! you have every right to do that! always willing to learn more, never stop being curious. this is what you are. you want to be the best so you have to put in the work, darling. Hard work and hustle life is not a challenge for you. To reach the peak of the mountain is not a dream for you. You have big dreams and you won’t wait for it. You don’t sit around when you know you can climb. you’re nobody's baby and possess an individuality so strong it’s called impeccability. You do it yourself because you know you can master it yourself. An immaculate mind that can turn heads so why searching for ways to prove it or impress anyone when all you need to do is to do it for yourself, right? You don’t want to be king of the so called fixed “class”. You want to be yourself. Now your life can only get better but you’re not one to be satisfied easily so you keep moving until you realized every desires of yours. Feral is what you are and one of your trademark.

xoxo, badass 📞🖤

stay bad & on fleek, lil baddies !

On the Dance Floor ft. NaMo

pairing: Nayeon x Male Reader x Momo rating: T to M-ish range wc: 1.5k warnings: infidelity prompt:

A night out with your girlfriend's "sister" and her friend takes an unexpected turn.

There were certain lines you didn't cross in life. Lines that, even if not legally wrong, were morally pretty fucking bad. And you were sure that sleeping with your girlfriend's older sister was one of them.

In your defense, you hadn't exactly planned on it happening. It was more the culmination of a series of events that had ultimately led you to this point. To crossing the one line you should have never crossed.

It started with your girlfriend Hwang Yeji going out on a world tour with her idol group. From the time it was announced you knew it would mean a lot of time apart from each other. In fact, because of the nature her job you hadn’t even been able to see her off at the airport. Initially you hadn’t thought anything of it. After all, there was facetime and other long-distance ways to stay in contact during the months that she would be gone. However, you soon realized that her absence would be much harder on you then you realized. It also didn’t help that you were operating in completely different timezones.

It was in this downtrodden state that you received a message from Nayeon. An invitation to join her and Momo for a night at the club. It was an invitation that she wasn’t taking no for an answer.

“Oh come onnn, you’ve been moody and couped up inside ever since Yeji left,” Nayeon had whined over the phone.

“Hey, hey, I have not been moody. Plus, I go out still. I go to work, don’t I?”

Nayeon rolled her eyes in response to my answer. Something that I could usually hear in her voice but since we were video calling, I could see the expression for myself. Funny enough, it was through Nayeon and Momo that you had been able to meet Yeji. It had been something of a friend of a friend situation. And while you referred to them as Yeji’s older sisters they weren’t actually. It was just a clever way of referring to them as being in the same company as your girlfriend but having worked there longer.

“That’s not healthy,” Nayeon replied before adding, “Plus you’re going to make Momo sad. I already told her you were coming.”

“Why did you do that?!”

Nayeon merely giggled and shrugged in that mischievous way she did. “So, are you coming then?”

You weighed your options for a moment before finally sighing in defeat, “Alright, alright. I’ll come out with you guys.” You really did need a night out to socialize and unwind after all. If nothing else to take your mind off your longing. Besides, a drink or two wouldn’t hurt.

At least that was what you had thought.

As it would turn out one or two quickly became a few. And a few quickly became lost track of. It seemed you had underestimated just how moody – as Nayeon had put it – you had been lately and how much you desperately needed a night out. It helped that Nayeon and Momo were some of the best company you could go out with; together they were like an unstoppable duo that guaranteed a good time no matter what you were doing. In hindsight, though, it was a recipe for disaster.

“I don’t know how she dances like that,” you commented over the music. More to yourself than to the strawberry blonde sitting across from you.

Your eyes were currently locked on Momo as she danced to the music, seemingly in a zone all her own. Make no mistake about it, your girlfriend was also an extremely talented dancer. But something about the way Momo moved was just more mature, even sensual when she rocked her hips a certain way. It was mesmerizing. Well, that and you had reached the sort of mellowed out stage of night in your drinking. What you didn’t notice was that Nayeon had taken note and was already making plans of her own.

“Dance with me!” her voice snapped you from your trance.

Before you could even begin to protest her hand had grabbed yours and was dragging you to the dance floor, stumbling behind her but managing to hold your balance and not embarrass yourself.

“You know I’m not much of a dancer.”

“Oh, I know. I’ve seen the video!”

You could feel your face growing red at that answer. Knowing that the video of you dancing was out there on someone’s phone and was making the rounds – actually it was better not to think about it. Fortunately, as bad as that video was tonight you had Nayeon’s lead to follow. And while Momo was a dancing goddess, Nayeon was no slouch either.

What started as simply vibing with the music, slowly begin to escalate into something more intimate. A body roll here, taking your hand and placing on her hips there. What finally caused your blood pressure to rise was when her arms looped around your neck and she leaned in. So close that you could feel her hot breath against the skin neck. Was this still dancing?

“Nayeon…”

“Are you guys having all the fun without me?”

Momo’s voice at the shell of your ear caused you to snap out of it. However, while you didn’t know it yet, she wasn’t the savior you thought she was.

“We wouldn’t dream of it,” Nayeon replied, pulling back slightly.

At first you were grateful, you didn’t trust your ability to talk without fumbling your words. Had you been of sound mind you might've questioned what exactly having fun without her and Nayeon’s response implied. But truth be told, none of you were exactly acting responsibly.

You soon felt Momo press up against you from behind while Nayeon turned herself around, her back pressed into your chest. Nayeon’s arms reached back, her hands finding Momo’s body. Similarly, Momo’s hands moved around you, settling on Nayeon’s hips. You were effectively trapped and yet you couldn’t help but feel torn about whether that was a bad thing.

“Is this what it’s like to be the meat in a sandwich?”

You only realized that you had spoken your thoughts out loud when you heard laughter fall from the girl’s lips. A flush of embarrassment colored your checks, doing your best to look anywhere but at them.

“Is that your fantasy?” Nayeon teased.

In that moment she arched her back, pressing her ass right into your groin. To make matters worse, you couldn’t stop a moan from leaving your lips when she did. You didn’t want to admit it but between the close proximity, the alcohol, and the three of you dancing; you were undoubtedly horny.

“I think it’s more of a dream,” Momo piled on, her hands still gripping Nayeon’s waist.

“I don’t know what you two are talking about,” you insisted.

“Hmm, is that you’re final answer?” Nayeon asked, a teasing lint in her tone. “Are you sure you haven’t thought about it?”

As Nayeon dragged out her words she rotated her ass deliberately slow, practically torturous, against your crotch. You managed to bite down on your lip this time, subduing the pleasured moan to just a strong hum that was masked by the sound of the music. [Nayeon turns around and wraps arms around neck]

“You know I don’t think it’s fair that Yeji gets to keep you all to herself,” Nayeon pouted. “Siblings are supposed to share, right?”

You should have said something, disagreeing preferably, but instead your mind was just focused on the feeling of Momo’s hands running over your chest and Nayeon’s eyes staring at you. You had never noticed it before, but she had a piercing gaze. One that had seemed so innocent before, but now you weren’t so sure.

While you froze up, Nayeon took advantage of the silence; pushing up on her toes and pressing a kiss to your lips. At first you were stunned but soon you began to respond. It crossed your inebriated mind that Nayeon’s lips were softer than you had imagined. You felt Momo’s hands softly stroking your back but other than that your surroundings had become a blur. The music of the club became nothing but a distant thumping as Nayeon cupped your face and deepened the kiss.

Her tongue slipped inside your mouth, dancing with your own tentative at first before delving deeper. There should have been some part of you screaming at how wrong this was. Even stopped you from making a mistake you might regret. Instead, your hands were finding their way around her waist; finally caving to the temptation.

When Nayeon pulled back her cheeks were a rosy color, looking at you with a lustful gaze. You were sure you looked equally disheveled and lost at that moment, but you didn’t have much time to reflect on it. Momo’s hands briefly ran down your chest before Nayeon took your hand in hers.

“Let’s get out of here,” she said, holding your gaze before she began to pull you towards the exit.

You didn’t fully know what awaited you for the rest of the night, but you knew you weren’t turning back now.

A/N: Not sure why I never got around to porting my Twice x Male Reader series over here. Probably laziness. Anyway I need some Nayeon and Momo content on my blog so here it is. It was short but hope you enjoyed! Also available on AO3 if you don't want to wait for me to post here. This was originally meant to contain a longer threesome scene at the time of posting but I got writers block. Re-reading it now and after Misamo I might have to re-visit it and give a part two...

SHOTGUN SHOT THROUGH THE HEART / CAN'T DRIVE PAST THE PLACES WE USED TO GO TO

keigo x reader x touya

part 2/4, part 1 here

the day of touya’s supposed arrest was the day you almost ended it all. a familiar winged hero comes to your rescue. olivia rodrigo mentioned!

inspired by drivers license + getaway car

today was enough to kill you.

4:26 am. your eyes open with no time for dreary morning exhaustion. his arms feel especially warm that morning, making it all the more harder to pry yourself away from him. in the end, it would be two broken hearts, and 4 hands bloody.

what kills you is how peaceful he looks. how touya, a man who had fire inside his heart, felt some semblance of comfort when he laid next to you. you prayed he was dreaming, dreaming of something better than this.

you pack throw your keys and what little cash there is left into the purse he stole for you. your as quiet as possible, not necessarily to conceal your movement, but rather your cries. you don't want to do this. you want to go there, and lay with your favorite arsonist. you want to lay there and love him into the world catches up with you. but you fucking can't.

and the worst part is, he's watching you.

he could stand up. he could yell, and demand to know what's going on. he could burn you to a crisp or pull you into his arms. he could promise you forever or break your heart more as you slowly twist the doorknob open.

he hated the fact that he was suspicious about you, but its god's cruelest joke that that gut feeling is somehow always right. he doesn't what exactly is going down, but he knows you're not coming back. his hearts not pure, far from it, but it still hurts him watching you leave. you turned into the one thing he wished you never would be.

but he's quiet. because deep down, somewhere deep in his heart, he knew this would happen eventually. he can't find it in himself to blame you. he blames himself for thinking you wouldn't.

so with a gentle, silent sigh, he lets you go.

just because someone expects betrayal doesn't mean they can't cry when it happens.

you breathe again once you finally reach the car, ducking past the sirens, officers and god damn heroes that are waiting outside the hotel. many of them, the figures you see on t.v and on magazines attempt to acknowledge you, to thank you for your efforts, but your oxygen is running out. you slam the door shut behind you and speed off into the early dusk of the morning.

red lights and stop signs become nothing but a blur as shaky sobs take over your lungs. your grip on the steering wheel loosens as you see his face in the rearview. your feet on the dashboard, laughing at crude jokes overtaking the sounds of traffic. you pray that he'll forgive you, though its useless.

by now, they've broken into the room.

by now, they've got him on his knees.

by know, he realizes just why you left so soon.

you drive alone, despite the various honks and sirens that become more and more evident at your recklessness. suddenly, you see him everywhere- sidewalks, car reflections, alleyways and deeply embedded in the crevices of your heart.

you said forever, and now you drove the getaway car.

when keigo calls you, you answer with a shaky huff as his voice comes through the receiver. he updates you on everything, much to your dismay.

"what do you mean you guys didn't arrest him!? what the fuck happened there?!" you scream.

your ex-fiance's voice is filled with guilt as he explains everything. "it... was a disaster. we underestimated him. he was unstoppable, angrier than i've ever seen him. and when i told him you were the one who gave up his location..."

your heart may as well have stopped when he said that.

"you... told him...?"

the blonde winces at the tone in your voice, realizing his slip up. for a hero that was so used to lying, being calculated and playing a role that wasn't for him, he struggled to hide the most of painful of truths to you.

"shit, i'm... fuck, i'm sorry, babe. it just slipped out." the coward in every man, and evidently in keigo, tries to cover up what he revealed about you. it obviously doesn't work.

a shaky, sob-filled scream escapes your throat as you dangerously speed through the traffic and onto the bridge connecting your now abandoned hiding spot to the city. other drivers are understandably honking at you, flipping you off and asking who the hell granted you your license. you're too distraught to care, seeing as the guilt of turning touya in overtakes you.

you did the right thing, and it tore your heart apart at the seems.

keigo is still on the phone with you, keeping note of the sirens and cars he hears from your end. he quickly tries to diffuse the situation before anything else happens. "[y/n], love, i'm gonna need you to pull over." he cautions. "i'll come to you."

"i'm fine." you lie, not wanting him to see you like this. you stare at the watery depths below, reasoning with yourself not to do anything rash. just make it back to your apartment, wrap yourself up in your bedsheets and lay there until this is all over.

keigo sees right through this, as if sensing your inner turmoil (if it wasn't already blatantly obvious.) he begs you just to pull over, to stop driving in the state your in, and just let him come to you. let him make sure you come out of this alive. its what he wants, and its probably what touya wants, too.

you grit your teeth at his pleas, too heartbroken to think rationally right now. you're a reckless, ticking time bomb, and you all know it. "god, i know you care about me, kei. i know you still have feelings for me."

he's silent on the other end of the phone. his heart clenches, wincing at your harshness. he was never trying to hide how he never fully got over you, even after you professed your love for the man you ran away with. somehow, you still had that hold on his heartstrings.

"yeah, well, so what if do? what difference does it make i still don't want you to kill yourself."

his hand shakes as he holds the phone in his hand, his worry growing more and more apparent with each passing second.

"you made me betray the person i loved so much, maybe as much as i loved you."

theres a heavy silence that hangs over the call screen. its wrong to blame keigo for what happened. either way, touya was still a dangerous villain who had to be stopped. all keigo did was open your eyes to the truth. probably because he's a hero, and thats what heroes do, but also because he loves you, and doesn't want to see your heartbreak over a criminal.

but its that last part that makes keigo's heart sink to his stomach. the idea that the amount of love you had for him was equivalent to the love you had for touya.

even after the end of your breakup, he still wished the best for you. he wished for you to be happy, just not happier than how you were with him. as selfish as that is.

his heart aches, the pain of what you're going through beginning to creep up on him too. he o desperately wants to tell you that everything will be okay, that he'll be your hero and take all your hurt away, but in that regard? he's powerless.

"keigo, i-"

he listens, hoping you'll finish your sentence. but you don't, even after he yells after you. "what? [y/n], what? hey!?"

his heart stops in his chest as a loud crash resonates over your end, followed by honking, screaming, and worst of all, the sound of something splashing into the watery depths below. what scares him the most is what he doesn't know. are you okay? can he still save you in time?

when the line goes dead, he quicky takes off, setting out to find you before its too late.

✧.* ⋆.˚ ☾ .⭒˚ ✧.* ✧.* ⋆.˚ ☾ .⭒˚ ✧.* ✧.* ⋆.˚ ☾ .⭒˚ ✧.* ✧.* ⋆.˚

theres an overwhelming cold feeling that takes you. you're oddly relaxed, despite the dull ache that erupts in your head. you aren't sure whats happening fully, your memories a messy haze. right now, nothing else matters as your body floats through the cold state of purgatory.

theres suddenly a sharp pain on your chest, followed by a desperate plea you can’t quite discern. theres a familiar taste on your lips, one that speaks love to you. that resounding pressure on your chest makes your heart thump, causing memories to suddenly replay in your mind like a film screen. memories with someone you loved.

you and keigo had met through some friend you can’t really remember. two deep in chardonnay, and you were the only one that guessed his antics during charades. the pounding of your heart continues as you recall the memory. you went from one kiss to getting married in just the span of a few months.

first loves are special like that.

he found pieces of you in every song he listened to, became utterly addicted to smell of your perfume and your bare shoulder in the morning. he loved your laughter, the way your hands fit in his. he loved that you saw him, even in the moments he could barely recognize himself.

the thing about first love, however, is that its also your first loss.

fears of trapping you in a marriage, the same one he had seen growing up, became all the more evident for the hero. he didn’t want to hold you down, to chain you to him when the two of you were meant to fly freely, happily. he felt like you deserved to love someone else.

and eventually, you did. though he never expected the firstborn son turned villain you ran off with.

but as keigo performs cpr on you, begging you to come back to life, he pleads with the sky. with anyone who might hear him, or whoever was trying to take you away from this world.

if it meant you’d start breathing again, he’d fly up to the clouds and catch lightning in a bottle. if it meant you’d open your eyes, he’d fix every last mistake he ever made. if it meant you’d love him again… well, he’d deal with the truth of that if it meant you’d simply live again.

he almost gives up, looking down at his own, wet gloved hands as he comes to terms with the fact that his attempts may be futile. you were injured in the crash, losing blood from cuts and bruises. on top of that, you had drowned, the cruel, murky depths of the sea taking you away.

he’s already covered in water, but a singular tear drop runs down his eye.

your hearts beating, fuelled purely by the love you’ve gotten to experience. you see two people- the man who brought you back to life, and the one that felt like the best way to die.

before you can discern who is who, your heart catches up with your lungs, taking a desperate gasp of air. you immediately turn to your side, ignoring the cuts on your body in order to turn over and cough out the water. its salty and stings your throat, your vision hazy and your body shivering.

“breathe.” a voice commands you, rubbing circles on your back. keigo sighs in relief, pulling you into his lap. you cling like the life buoy you would have needed just a couple of minutes ago.

you don’t even realizing you’re still crying, not until the blonde strokes your cheeks free from the tears. he tilts your head up so he can look at you.

“you were dead a minute ago.” he says, his usual nonchalant behaviour replaced by a rare glimmer of worry. you were the only person that pulled those feelings out of him, anyway.

your throat sings of salt, body aching from the cold and the blood loss. “yeah, well… you’re not gonna get rid of me that easily.” you choke out.

he almost laughs, opting to pull you into a tight hug. with as much strength, though theres not much, you embrace him back. yes, you’re still mad. yes, you’re still heartbroken. but he somehow made your tortured heart beat once more.

he wraps his coat around you, handing you off to the paramedics. he promises to meet you in the hospital after he’s done helping other survivors, sending you off with a tender kiss to your forehead. keigo looks back, seeing the accident that left you dead for a moment.

touya, from afar, is watching too.

the look on his face is something you can’t quite decipher. he’s mad as hell you sold him out, especially at the behest of hawks- but something dragged him to the scene of the accident. something in him had to know you’d be okay.

he watches as the ambulance takes you away, before turning away and leaving the scene.

wow. WOW.

This one was a nutter. Here are some of my favourite moments from the final Doctor Who special, The Giggle

SPOILERS AHEAD

First of all, I underestimated Neil Patrick Harris as the Toymaker. He is absolutely terrifying and absolutely hilarious all in the scenes he’s in.

The Toymaker was the perfect villain for this special. A unstoppable, petrifying entity that hasn’t been seen since William Hartnell is a very good choice for an anniversary special

The puppets of the past companions were a nice touch, and the Doctor correcting the Toymaker on what actually happened is funny

Furthermore, the Toymaker entering to Spice Up Your Life. RTD saw what Chibnall did with Rasputin and went “OH NO CHIBBIE. DON���T TRY AND OUT-CHEESE ME”

The less-than-subtle political and social allegory through the Toymaker “making everyone’s thoughts superior”, which kind of shook me a little bit with how accurate it was.

Mel!!!! Melmelmelmelmelmel!!!!! Never really knew her in the Classic Series, but she is absolutely wonderful in this episode 🥕

Donna utilising her typing skills as Best Temp in Chiswick

Fourteen’s last words were probably going to be “Allons-y” which is the complete opposite of “I don’t want to go”. Please ignore me while I go cry in a corner

Bi-regeneration? Okay???

NCUTIIIIIII GATWA IS HEEEERE EVERYBODY!!!! HIS SMILE COULD CURE SO MANY DISEASES!!!!!! AND HE DOESN’T HAVE ANY PANTS OOOOOOON

Three guys play with balls

Fifteen giving Fourteen/Ten a hug was my all-time favourite moment from these specials. Someone finally tells the Doctor “Hey man. Slow down.” and that the only person that could tell him is him

The Doctor finally talks about the planet where you communicate with your eyebrows, as mentioned 53 years ago in Spearhead in Space

The Fourteenth/Tenth Doctor finally settles down with people he loves. A satisfying ending to a once tortured character.

Meanwhile the Fifteenth Doctor goes off on his own adventure, ready for a new era of this show.

This was absolutely fantastic, and it also made me cry the most out of all the specials (unsurprisingly). Everything in this episode felt right, and it feels like RTD has been planning something like this for quite some time. A proper end to David Tennant as the Doctor.

Fifteen’s era is going to be amazing!!!!

[evelynpr]

bakugou for the character ask game?

Truly the teenage boy, shonen deuteragonist, love interest coded, gay asshole, of all time.

My first impression - Woah I did not understand why people were so into this guy. Like I get it, he's a flawed and loud pretty boy, he gets character development, and probably gay, but seriously him??? His mouth is so fucking foul and he is so up his ass. - I was meh with this character, enjoyed him in fan content, but just did not get why people were sooo into this guy.

My impression now - I cried in "Light Fades To Rain". Twice. - My god his growth...his will, his persistence, and by god his love for Izuku is so ridiculous and powerful I just cannot help but admire the little shithead. - He is also a lot more to me than I expected, with the whole "foul mouth shit", "high expectations bullshit", "violent urges", and "dedicating your whole life and love to someone you love and admire" and that...that makes me feel quite conflicted.

Favorite thing about that character - The thing about Bakugou is that...you just cannot help but wish you had the same kind of persistence, strength, will, and power that he does. I love how all this is initially so shallow and selfish, then grows to wanting to be a better and truer hero. He really learns and changes and is just an unstoppable force of nature, it's genuinely incredible and beautiful to watch.

Least favorite thing - I wished that the overall writing did go harder in making him stop bad-mouthing people and...everything so much. You can tell he did grow to respect and care for people around him more, but by gods he is sooo bad at communicating his feelings right now. (tbf, he is so fucking young and traumatized) - Also, really please stop hitting people. I get a knee-jerk reaction to that kind of physical violence sometimes ngl.

Favorite line/scene - There are so many. I already mentioned his death in "Light Fades to Rain" so I'll mention a different one - Team Bakugou in Class A vs B was so goddamn good, for being a monumental milestone of his character. How much he trusted his teammates and put himself in danger to save others, winning in the end. No injuries, no failures, truly a perfect beautiful victory. How he also pushes Deku to keep getting better afterwards in his usual constipated-ass language too. Man I just love that battle to death.

Favorite interaction that character has with another - (me pulling out scenes that aren't bkdk centered here hahaha) - I fucking LOVED the Bakugou vs Ochako fight. It made me love Ochako so so much as a kid. I really wished we had a follow-up to that battle, and it genuinely changed my life. - I love how it really shows just how focused and rational he is in battle. How he truly respects his opponents, Ochako in this case, and the sports festival really establishes so much about him.

A character that I wish that character would interact with more - Speaking of which...OCHAKO VS BAKUGO 2 COME ONNNN - There is SO MUCH these two need to talk about. How to save people, who they want to save, who saved them, never underestimating each other, how they changed and grew. I just love these two characters to bits, that's why I need them to FIGHT AND TALK SO BADDDD - Additional: Also Toga (see my post on Toga right before this one lmao), Shoto (because I still don't really get their friendship but its hilarious, and I love Shoto)

Another character from another fandom that reminds me of that character - I legit cannot think of anything here...like for Toga...I am so sorry my brain is blanking T__T - It's hard to be a massive anger-issue filled, victory-focused, die for their lover (twice), amazing chef, all at once, kinda guy...you know?

A headcanon about that character - I am a believer in trans!fem Bakugo in the future. He's so ridiculously angry for some reason, voice always cracking, and just on-edge for some reason. Idk I just think its hilarious and satisfying if he transed his gender in the future and became happier and more comfortable.

A song that reminds of that character - I also have a Bkdk playlist in the making! Here's some bkg focused songs in character development order: - Boys will be Bugs, President Perfect, Top of my School, Oh No!, I'm Gonna Win, The Last of the Real Ones, Skyfall, Die For You, Set Fire to the Rain

An unpopular opinion about that character - Like Toga, he actually isn't possessive. I think he quite well understands and accepts that Izuku is a very loving person that many people are easily drawn to (I mean, he'd be a hypocrite if he didn't understand that). - He is protective instead of possessive. He keeps an eye out for anything and anyone who could possibly actually hurt Izuku, but he doesn't hold him back at all in hanging around with others, and when other people fall for Izuku either. - He is actually quite skinny, and doesn't have the big thick buff guy build. Those go to Izuku and Iida more imo.

Favorite picture - I never really thought of this much??? I love art of him being softer, more solemn, quiet and contemplative even. I guess I'll go pick out some favs right now...

Here they are! Hope you enjoy the post lmao

For this post, I'll be going over the relationships between characters and just going over the characters themselves. *Spoilers ahead*

starting with the main character herself, Karen! She is an outgoing person who starts off kind of lazy and she doesn't try super hard to outdo anyone. Only once she starts competing in the fights does she realize she needs to work harder to beat the others. Her motivation to perform with Hikari and to never quit even when faced with the tragedy that they are destined to never get to perform together. By the time we reach the movie, we finally get to see her past and understand just how much that promise with Hikari meant to her. Then we see her spend the entire movie giving it her all and pushing forward through her past to find Hikari. When she really wants something she becomes this unstoppable force that I just love to see. Especially when our first perception of her was that she was lazy when in fact she just lost her motivation for acting. As soon as Hikari came back so did Karen's motivation.

Now on to Hikari. At the start, we see her as cold and a bit standoffish. Then we slowly learn she is just as sweet and caring as Karen, she just likes to hide it because she knows the story of Starlight is a tragedy and this can only end one way. It's like if Juliet knew the whole time how Romeo and Juliet ended and tried distancing herself to prevent it and while it saved Romeo it couldn't save her. Hikari the woman you are. If only Karen wasn't so dead set on rewriting the story. Hikari almost got away with it too. Cause who doesn't like a happy ending? Also learning that Hikari is the reason both she and Karen are obsessed with theater was so fun for her character. I love the "we swapped personalities as we got older" characters.

Brief talk about these two divas. Maya (brown hair) is such a good character! The sheer aura of power she had at the start was so well built up and while she is still incredibly talented and strong- I like how now that everyone else is improving so quickly, her overwhelming aura is now less noticeable as they are all closer to the same level as each other. She also is just so cute. The way she composes herself is precious at times.

Then there is Claudine (blond hair). She is so dramatic and her need to pick fights with Maya is always funny. Seeing her bond with Futaba (pink hair) was honestly so nice to see as a duo as well. She knows she needs to improve but she also knows that much like Karen, she would rather do it when Maya is there.

For Kaoruko (shorter blue hair) and Futaba as a duo, I have little to say other than they are such an old married couple. They fight a lot but they would die if they couldn't talk anymore. Now individually, Kaoruko is fun, she learns she has to put some work in on her own to grow as an actor. Her schemes to try and get Futaba to chase her are hilarious. Then there's Futaba. I really liked Futaba and how hard she worked to improve. She is so friendly to everyone and is honestly such a good friend. I especially liked how even though she barely made it into Seisho (the theater academy) By the end of the movie she is now attending the most prestigious women's troupe in the country.

Now Mahiru (girl above)! Oh, my poor little love-struck baby. Her love for Karen is so sweet and heartbreaking. It's adorable but also her love for Karen and her ability to shine on a stage adds to Mahiru's train of thought that she doesn't shine. Her learning that she really is just as amazing and dazzling as the rest is so nice to see. A lesson in self-love for the win! Also, to all my MaHiKaren shippers out there I love you!

On a similar note, we have Junna (purple hair)! She also suffers from underestimating herself. She tries to make up for it in her head by overworking herself and showing how amazing she is at literature and history. Then she learns that she is amazing and proves it so well in the movie. Also, her being able to notice when Nana (blond bananah hair) is acting strange is so nice because it really shows 1. How kind and compassionate Jun Jun is and 2. How close she and Bananah are.

Then we have Nana. Yes, they call her Bananah as a nickname and it's cute. Oh, all the things I could say about Bananah. *SPOILERS* I MEAN IT!! ITS SUCH A GOOD TWIST PLEASE GO WATCH IT!! So Nana is a time traveler. Once the group reached their 2nd year they got the invitations to join the giraffe's auditions. In their 1st year, their class performed the play Starlight and they decided they would keep doing that play as their performance every year until they graduated to show how much they have improved. Bananah believed that their first Starlight was the most amazing play she had ever seen and wanted to relive it over and over. Then in their second year when all the giraffe's auditions start, she learns that if she wins she will get to wish for any stage she wants. At this point, she had lost most of her motivation due to missing their old performance so much and not wanting anything to change. So when she learned she could wish to go back to that stage. Suddenly her motivation peaked and she crushed the auditions beating everyone. She won and got her wish. So time was reversed and only she remembered. She got to relive that year and stage again. Then she continued to do this over and over and over. Winning all the auditions and turning back time. We still don't really know how many times she did this. but we know she did it A LOT! At least from the timelines we see pass by in the episode. Then something strange happens and Hikari transfers into their class. She has never appeared in any other timeline. We learn this is partially due to the giraffe's intervention and magic. So Hikari enters, which gives Karen motivation and she jumps into the auditions. This means there is an uneven number of contestants and Karen and Hikari are soaring through the ranks. Then we have the Nana fights and Bananah learns that she can't keep restarting the clock. She needs to accept change.

Nana is honestly my favorite character. Her motivations are understandable and seeing her get to play the villain was so awesome she can be incredibly scary when she wants to be. That's not even getting into her arch in the movie. Boy that one is fun too! But it is just as long so I'm not doing that. I love that she is the closest to the giraffe as well. It really shows how much she's done this and shows why she is so strong.

I really love these characters and I am so glad I took the time to just talk about them here because I really don't talk about this show much for how much I love it. So thank you all for reading my ranting about a show I just love. NOW GO WATCH IT! It's on Funimation and if you don't have that they provide a free trial that gives you plenty of time to watch the show and movie (otherwise there are always other ways *wink wink*). It's only one season long, 12 episodes. Also, have a good day or night, everyone!

Y'know I find it interesting that the two things that Player and Joseph share that makes them so scary in universe is that those don't know much about them. It's the sheer mystery that surrounds them that adds that fear. That otherworldly feeling that they cannot be normal. I mean, TJ and Zavier are afraid of Player's strength. Hell, TJ even admits to himself that he has this hopelessness whenever he challenges Player. (Which is why he says his chances of beating them are 99% even with his inflated ego, he's giving himself that 1% chance) And Zavier grows afraid of Player's sudden change in character and strength from the previous iteration.

But you wanna know something about Joseph? Barely anyone in universe knows anything about who he is, what doodles he uses, what he's planning and he just straight up directly calls out Player and us spying on him. That's what makes HIM scary. That mystery around him and the fact we don't know exactly how much of a threat he is. That's what scares the other people, they underestimate the two of them, and when faced with them. They're off. Something isn't right with them. But all of this to say... Imagine if Player was afraid of Joseph... Imagine being Quincy and Suzie, seeing your friend who's practically the strongest and most unstoppable person you've ever seen, who could very much defeat any tamer like Teneson given enough time, Being afraid of Joseph. The one thing about the Blue Strings is that it essentially makes the holder fearless. If a tamer like Player is afraid of Joseph, then that means he's something else. While the Blue Strings essentially makes the holder fearless, it's not necessarily always. I mean, maybe in a dangerous fight where you need to do something reckless, fear only holds you back. But Player is already wary of Joseph, and I think they'd definitely not be too fond of meeting him in person. Considering how he taunted them in the Route 8 cutscene.

With Joseph saying shit like this. It's asking to get his ass beat by Player at some point. Nobody has taunted Player and got away with it without getting a beating. As Joseph's plans continues to go according to plan, it's only a matter of time until his pawn in this chess match outmatches him.

And even Joseph's aware of that. But he's confident he can continue out matching them. The longer the key hunt goes on, the stronger Player gets. It just means they get keys either way. Which will always result in Joseph winning right? Once Player ultimately reaches the top, Joseph ain't knocking them down, not when they have plot armor and the literal power of friendship. Also, with Joseph, it's not physical strength. It's manipulation, deception, trickery that causes him to be a step ahead when it comes to Player. Riffraff has always failed the checkers match against Joseph. But Player is playing 4D chess with him. Maybe that's why Riffraff is so keen on keeping Player around, not just because of the whole plot armor thing. But out of anyone so far, Player's the only one who's been able to actually get under Joseph's skin.

I quite like the route where Player opposes Joseph. It's quite interesting from a narrative and dynamic standpoint.

Ji Ho was devastated after he tried to kill Vlad. All these overwhelming feelings are hitting Ji Ho hard anyway, and now this on top of it. Jack told him again and again that nothing was his fault and now, that they finally threw this spell back to sender, nothing stands between Vlad and Ji Ho's future full of love and affection anymore... But Ji Ho felt as if two fists were gripping him. One around his throat, slowly pressing shut. And the other one trying to mash his heart. Jack didn't know what else to do and dragged him to the pool to help him calm down. Distraction is Jack's solution for everything ^^'

Meanwhile, Sai and Vlad put Jeb and Kiyoshi to bed. They are still feeling dazed after their protection spells were dodged by Ji Ho's grandfather. Gladly, Jeb and Kiyoshi are not the only members of their group with healing powers. And even though it was a magical damage, which cannot be cured that easily, Vlad tried his best and he's really hopes they are going to wake up again soon. He has no idea what to do with Sai should anything had happened to Jeb ö.ö Sai is near his next breakdown anyway... It's all too much for him.

Ji Ho really calmed down a bit. They sat at the pool. Ji Ho still can't let go: "I can't believe my grandfather was able to make me try to kill Vlad. How are we supposed to move on from this? And after all the other things that had happened between us? How?" Jack: "Don't underestimate Vlad and his love. I've seen how he still looks at you. And don't underestimate your Bond. It's still there - and it's still strong. Don't forget you two bonded after that spell. Just trust it, hm?"

*then he laughed*: "And Vlad had time getting used to your attacks..." Jack snapped his mouth shut. Uh-oh. He shouldn't have said that. Ji Ho doesn't know about the other attack - when Vlad was hidden in that mannequin! Jack just hopes Ji Ho didn't notice ö.ö He and his damn unstoppable snout! But Ji Ho did notice: "Attacks? When else did I attack..." And then Ji Ho remembered that there was something odd with that mannequin in the Dark Arts Classroom. And how it trembled after the attack. And how Vlad wasn't with them for almost a day... And then the fists smashed his heart and crushed his throat.

Ji Ho started to cry and none of Jack's distraction puppy strategy attempts succeeded this time. So he called Sai and Vlad for help. Sai: "Is this your fault?" There's no way to deny it... Jack can't stand seeing Ji Ho cry: "Eh yes. I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to upset him. Can you please tell him that everything will be fine and that we've all been through hard times and found back together again? Please stop crying, Ji Ho! Look, Kiyoshi and me! Do you remember when I tried to kill him because I thought he tortured Sai and me at the lab? And now we're best mates! Nothing can get in between us! Not even the fact we accidently woohooed!" And Jack kept on talking himself deeper and deeper into trouble. Jack: "And it didn't even stop Vlad from loving you that he died when he tried to save you! And Sai and Jeb are together again even after Sai had a relationship with Kiyoshi and Jeb refuses to woohoo Sai because he thinks he'll hurt him!"

Well, this did distract Ji Ho from his downward spiral into utter desolation. Ji Ho looked at Sai and Vlad who were about to burst from anger: "Eh, Jack. Better run."

They can't run far from the Villa. Some members of the Council might still be around and they surely won't leave Ji Ho, Jeb and Kiyoshi unprotected. No matter how much they want Jack dead. So they just ran rounds and rounds around the estate... And if Super Soldier Jack weren't that fast, this time, Sai would have really hit him!

An hour or two later, after they checked on Jeb and Kiyoshi upstairs, they sat at the pool again. Sai's anger faded into his weighty responsibilty as their leader: "We need to inform the Resistance about what happened *he sighed* and to ask for a loan to pay off our tuiton at Verdantis. After Kiyoshi and Jeb wake up, we are going to head over to Hummelshain Castle and look if Ms Coombes or one of the others currently resides there." Vlad laughed: "Sai, we're back in the Mundane World. These little devices, who help you talk to people that are far away, are a thing here. They are called phones ;)" Sai: "Omg, I'm so through! Phones!" To his defense: they've been in the Otherworld and beyond the Veil without phone reception for around ten months ^^'

So Sai dug out his phone from the dephts of his inventory and called Ms Coombes. After Sai gave her a rough overview on the happenings and carefully touched the money problem, she told him she'll call over athena, who is the treasurer of the Resistance, and that they'll meet at the Castle tomorrow afternoon to discuss everything. Ms Coombes (over the line): "Make yourself a nice time until then. You've been through a lot. And don't worry to go out. Principal Prescott and the others left in a hurry a few hours ago :3 "

'I cannot say it. I want you, a bit little more. Really, do you think so? I’d like to touch you, but the more I get near to you, the more I do not recognize you. Really, does it happen to you, too?

Shall I give you a phone call or not? Shall I give you a phone call or not? I won’t surrender for first Why won’t you call me? Why won’t you call me? Who knows who’s gonna win!'

'Io non riesco a dirlo. È che ti vorrei soltanto un po' di più. Anche tu? Io vorrei toccarti ma più mi avvicino e più non so chi sei. Anche tu? Ti telefono o no, ti telefono o no? Io non cedo per prima. Mi telefoni o no, mi telefoni o no? Chissà chi vincerà?'

Stop Using These Tropes When You Write Villains

Listen, we’ve all read (or written) a villain that just… doesn’t hit right. Maybe they felt too predictable, too over-the-top, or just plain boring. A great villain makes the story, but....

how you lose readers? That's a big question.

So, let’s talk about the villain tropes that are overused, outdated, or just don’t work—and what to do instead.

🚫 The “Evil for No Reason” Villain

“I was born evil, and I do evil things just because.”

This might have worked in old fairy tales, but modern readers want depth. Nobody wakes up one day and thinks, You know what? I’m going to destroy the world because it sounds fun.

Real people—yes, even villains—have reasons for what they do.Even if those reasons are twisted, they should exist.

Maybe they believe what they’re doing is right. Maybe they’re seeking revenge, power, or control. Maybe they think they’re saving the world, but their methods are monstrous. Whatever it is, give them a reason.

So you have to think about why your villain believes they’re the hero of their own story. Because they do.---

🚫 The Overpowered Villain

We all love a terrifying villain. But if they’re too powerful, what’s the point?

A villain who can’t be defeated—or one who only loses because the plot demands it—makes the hero’s journey feel cheap. Readers need to believe that the hero has a chance, but only if they work for it. If your villain is unbeatable, your climax loses impact.

What to do instead---Give them limits.

Maybe they have a weakness, a blind spot, or an emotional vulnerability.Make them human in some way. Even the scariest villains have flaws—arrogance, obsession, underestimating the hero.

Let the hero win through strategy, growth, or sacrifice, not just luck or plot convenience.A great villain is a challenge, not an unstoppable force of doom.---

🚫 The Villain Who Explains Their Whole Plan

We’ve all seen this one. The villain has the hero at their mercy, and instead of just finishing the job, they give a dramatic speech, revealing their master plan in excruciating detail.

Why do they do this? Do they just love hearing themselves talk? Are they secretly hoping the hero will stop them?

Whatever the reason, it kills tension.

A smart villain doesn’t reveal their hand. They manipulate, they mislead, they keep people guessing.

If your villain’s plan is going to be exposed, make it organic—maybe the hero pieces it together, maybe they overhear something, maybe the villain wants them to know part of it.

But please, no long-winded monologues while the hero escapes.---

🚫 The “Crazy for No Reason” Villain

Madness can be unsettling, but it’s not a personality.If your villain is chaotic evil with no real motivation beyond “I like to watch the world burn,” they become one-dimensional. Real fear doesn’t come from randomness—it comes from purpose.

Think about it: the scariest villains aren’t the ones who destroy for fun. They’re the ones who believe they’re doing the right thing.

Maybe they think the world is broken and needs to be reset. Maybe they want to force humanity to "wake up." Even if they’re completely unhinged, their actions should still make sense to them.

Give them a philosophy, a set of beliefs.

Even if those beliefs are twisted, they should be consistent. That’s what makes them unsettling.---

🚫 The One-Dimensional Bully Villain

Being mean isn’t the same as being interesting.If your villain’s entire personality is just being a jerk, they won’t leave much of an impact. A great villain isn’t just cruel—they’re calculated, manipulative, or even charismatic.

Think about villains who don’t just scream threats and kick puppies. Some of the most terrifying villains are the ones who can smile while they do something horrific. They’re the ones who make you question your morals.Make your villains complex, not just nasty.---

🚫 The Disposable Villain

If your villain’s defeat doesn’t change anything, why were they even there?A villain should matter.

They should

Challenge the hero in a meaningful way.

Push the plot forward.

Leave a lasting impact, even if they’re only in the story briefly.

If you can replace them with another random bad guy without altering the story, they aren’t a strong antagonist. Make them matter.---

SO, Here is What To Do Instead

If you want a villain that actually works, try this

✔ Give them a real reason for their actions.

✔ Make them a true challenge for the hero. Not just physically, but mentally and emotionally.

✔ Avoid predictable weaknesses. No more “Oh no, I’m allergic to water!” moments.

✔ Let them feel human sometimes.

Even a villain can have love, fear, or moments of doubt.

The best villains aren’t just obstacles. They’re the dark reflection of the hero.---

GEAR 5 LUFFY X LUNALA READER VS LUCCI PT2

The siren goes on. Everyone was shocked to see sentomaru injured. "Ax!" Luffy yelled.

"We're sorry! I shouldn't have talked to you!" He said, "Sentomaru?" You ask. "Idiots... Don't underestimate me... I've noticed it and..." said sentomaru.

Remembering he tried to defend himself, he was too late. "I thought... I defended myself..." sentomaru started to cough. Then lucci appear, "how persistent... pass out already!" He yelled.

Sentomaru tried to get up. But luffy started running towards lucci. He uses haki and punch lucci, but lucci grabs Luffy arm and pulls him and punch Luffy belly.

Lucci and luffy smiles. "Don't get in my way!" Lucci punch Luffy stomach hard causing to fly out.

"Air slash!" Lucci looked behind to see you and hit him with air slash. Lucci got a couple of scratches. You cover sentomaru with your wings.

"Don't ever think about hurting luffy or sentomaru!" You yelled, lucci smiles.

"Since the two of you rank of authority is higher than us, while you're conscious..."

S-bear blast at Kaku and stussy doges S-hawk attack. "We can't control the seraphim!" Lucci walked backward, then his legs became muscles, and he ran towards you. Getting his claw sharp to kill you and sentomaru.

But luffy stretched his leg and hit lucci in the face with his haki legs. "Gum-gum..." Luffy spins his body around. "Dawn... whip!" Lucci was blown off and get hit by a building, "Lucci!" Said stussy.

"What?!" Then luffy started out of control. "Now is our chance!" Said Chooper, "luffy, (Y/N), hurry up! If you two wanna save this girl, we gotta go see vegapunk!" Said jinbe.

"I want to that, but..." Luffy started laughing, couldn't stop spinning around. "I can't stop!" Luffy yelled, you watch spinning as a tornado.

"Oh... boy, " you said. "Stop fooling around! Let's go! What?!" Chooper yelled as he looked at luffy being a tornado. "Where are you going, luffy?!" Luffy spins through the ground, "I'm spinning too much!"

"You guys keep going! Luffy and I will catch up!" You yelled, Chooper nodded his head. You look down at the hole where luffy is, "luffy! Come up here!" You scream.

The city exploed everywhere, and everyone is running for their life's. "Get inside the factory!" S-hawk attack the CP-0 soldier, s-shark made the ground waterlily.

"The seraphim are unstoppable! There's nothing to be gained by fighting amongst ourselves!" Said Kaku. "They're still children. I'm afraid to imagine what they'll be like when they grow up." Said stussy.

In vegapunk lab. Dr. Vegapunk watched the sentomaru injured body and saw you trying to protect him. "Sentomaru..." he said, then Franky saw s-shark swimming underground.

"Hey, vegapunk!" Everyone look at Franky, "What's the matter?" Vegapunk question. Franky burst out of tears, "the power is what's the matter! The power that the brat jinbe is using! Isn't that the swim-swim fruit power?!" He cried.

"The swim-swim fruit?" Nami ask. "That right! That's sworn, brother from the Donquixote family... senor Pink's power!"

Frank clutches his fist. "There can't be two of the same fruit in this world! Does this mean he died?!" Franky started to cry harder.

"My bro!" He cried. "You've noticed it. He is currently being held in Impel Down." Said, Dr. Vegapunk, Franky was surprised. "So he's alive?! Gee! Don't make me worry!"

"Then... you duplicated the Devil Fruits?!" Frank question. "That's right. The Devil Fruits... can be made artificially, but only the zoan type!" He said.

"Well, Caesar's smiles are ridiculous..." said Dr. Vegapunk. "Yeah, he can go to hell." Said Nami, vegapunk remember Caesar's in past. "The smiles are too risky."

"Only one out of ten people most will gain power by eating one. The ones who didn't receive power will be forced to smile all the time... how awful." Said Robin remembering in wano how people have to smile.

"Caesar... Just hearing that name makes me wanna puke." Everyone hated Caesar so much. Vegapunk sigh.

"Well, putting that aside... probably even the special types of fruits can all be replicated... given tons of money and time!"

"Though, I'm not sure if they'll awaken!" The strawhat was out of the blue, "I did all I could to replicate the Logia types, but it's impossible... but... for the Paramythia types, I found that if I can get its user's bloodline elements. I can create a special blood influence and administer."

"I can let someone have its power! That's..." Dr. Vegapunk pointed at the screen. Everyone looks. "The blood flowing through their arms! The Green Blood!" He said.

"Did you create blood?!" Frank asks. "Love-Love..." The soldiers shot at S-snake. "Mellow !" She said, making a heart shape. The Mellow turns the soldiers to stone.

"The Seraphim are the peak of what our science can achieve as far as I can deduse!" S-bear make a small paw float towards the soldiers.

"Ursa shock!" The small paw exploed. "It can be said that they are..." The straw hat crew listened. "The strongest form of humanity in the history of the world!"

QUICK UPDATE

Did you know that you're good at hearing. Some bats have a pretty technique hearing abilities.

It will help to find your enemies.

"The strongest form of humanity?! Is that why the Seven Warlords were abolished?!" Nami yelled. "How dare you create something that's stronger than the Seven Warlords! Damn!" Usopp screamed in panicking.

"They're essentially the Navy's weapons..." said sanji, "yeah. They are a threat to us." Said Robin. "Sentomaru, let me heal you." You said, Sentomaru cough.

"N-no need..." he said as he stood up but fell to the ground and coughing more blood. "You making yourself much worse!" You yelled. "Sentomaru-sama!" You trunaround to see two people running towards you.

"Stay away," you yelled. They stop and look at you, "You shouldn't be here! It not safe here! You two need to find a better place to hide!" You said.

Then you hear a small footstep. And it's coming closer. "You two hide!" You yelled, and then a loud explosion erupted. Lucci stepped out of the building, and two people ran and hid behind the building.

"Run! Sentomaru-Sama!" She yelled. Lucci, look at them and look at you two. "Where did your silly boyfriend go?" He asks you. You look at him with a toxic look.

"We don't know," Sentomaru said, "shut up, you traitor!" Lucci yelled. Then he runs toward you guys, and you fly toward him, too. "Moongeist Beam!".

Lucci disappeared, and you looked everywhere. Then he appeared right behind you and grabbed your neck, and threw you off. You were pinned to the wall and fell to the ground, but you're okay. "(Y/N)!" Sentomaru yells.

Lucci ran towards sentomaru to kill him. But the ground rumbles, and Luffy gaint head appears in front of Lucci way. Luffy laughs. "Straw hat!" Lucci yelled. "Luffy?!" You yelled

Luffy jumped out with his mouth open, ready to eat lucci. But lucci doges, and ran each direction. Luffy watches how fast lucci is. Lucci went behind Luffy.

Luffy munch some rocks in his mouth and spit out. Making it difficult for him to dodge more.

"So annoying!" He button he realized that luffy was behind him. Then luffy got an idea that he stretched his arm and grabbed the ship tunnel.

He pushed himself way back at the ship tunnel and put on some goggles. Then, luffy lunch himself circling his arm.

"Gum-gum..."

"Moongeist..."

Lucci, notice that you're on the right of him, too.

"Dawn..."

Your wings make a blue explosion ball. And...

"Rocket!"

"Beam!"

Luffy hits lucci in the chest, and lucci body falls back where you hit him with your Moongeist Beam. Yo

'How powerful are they?! I might be...' lucci was blown away and get hit by building again.

'passing out!' He thought, luffy laugh so hard. Jinbe and Chopper followed S-snake, "This way! Hurry!" She said, and they made it to the rocket.

"Too slow! Why are you taking so much time? " S-snake ask, then she pointed at the rocket. "That's the Vacuum Rocket! Get on it now!" She said.

"Oh, thanks! You're a kind hancock!" Said jinbe, S-snake blush. "Thanks!" Said Chooper, run past her. "You've been a big help!" Said jinbe, "D-don't be rude! I'm just following orders!" She cried, getting all flustered.

Jinbe laughs at her. Then, a siren goes on. "We will be departing in one minute." Said the speaker, chopper freaks out . "Hey, luffy! (Y/N)! Hurry up!" He screams, you and luffy heard the comotion.

That made you two freak out cause you don't know what to do, save sentomaru, or have a battle with lucci? "On no!" Luffy screamed, "please refrain from rushing onto the rocket." Said the speaker.

"Luffy, we don't have much time!" You yelled, "Straw Hat!" You and luffy look at sentomaru. "Sentomaru!" You said, sentomaru look at you and luffy.

"I trust you two with old man punk!" He yelled, which made you and luffy surprised. Luffy smiles, "Okay! Leave it to us!" He said as he stretched his arm.

"No! You're going the opposite direction!" Sentomaru yells, but Sentomaru realizes what luffy is doing. "The doors will close soon. Please be careful." Said the speaker.

Luffy grabbed two sides of the building, and you transformed your human form floating, ready for Luffy to do something stupid.

Luffy lunch himself forward, he pulls himself back with the rocket tunnel. "We'll get him off the island... at any cost!" he said, then luffy lunch himself forward, grabbing your waist.

Now, you two were in full speed ahead. "Please refrain from rushing... for your safety, please fasten your seat belt." You put Luffy seat belt on. "All engine running. We are departing." Then the rocket started to lunch.

"I've never been on such..." Before Chooper could say anything, the rocket go way faster than ever, and bonney wakes up from her nap. And they started screaming, "this is quite something!" Said jinbe

"Where am I?! Where's vegapunk?!" Bonney, ask. Then, bonney looks on her left side to see old luffy and you. You were completely normal and trying to help luffy to get his energy back.

"I can still fight..." he said. "What?! Who are you?!" Bonney, ask, you look at Bonney and smile. "Oh! Bonney! You're awake! I'm so worried about you!" You said.

"(Y/N)! Who is this old man you are sitting next to?!" Bonney yelled.

"That's luffy! A lot has happened! It a long story! I'll tell you later!" You said. "I don't understand?!" She screams.

"Oh, I'm getting used to it? No! It is getting fast!" Chooper yelled.

"Shut up, ship doc!" Said bonney.

"So fast..." said luffy.

"How long are you gonna be like that?! Straw Hat!" Bonney ask.

"He'll come back on his original self when he gets more energy!" You yelled.

"Departing fabriophase, bond for labophase." Then you guys made it to the top, you were amazed. "Transit duration... is 32 seconds." And you guys made it.

"We are arrived."

"How fast!" Said bonney. "All subsequent rockets are cancelled."

"The labophase, egghead. The frontier dome, fortified. We have intruders. It is dangerous."

"Reachers, please evacuate to the factory and seal the building." Sentomaru fell to ground, then Hattori appeared.

Sentomaru hears footsteps and sees lucci, Sentomaru remembers what luffy said to him. Lucci walked closer to sentomaru.

Sentomaru looks at lucci, and then he passes out. Stussy and Kaku appear.
