Very old tea - Beemoov's writers

Every day I wake up and find new drama in the fandom. I have to admit it is entertaining but fake news and misinformation really annoy me so here we go. What's the new tea? It's actually very old tea, but it needs to be put into context.

A few hours ago, someone rummaging through the New Gen website, ended up on the credit page, where they found this

This page isn't reachable from the website, there are no links, you need to type the full url to get there because it's only a placeholder. You can clearly see that those are Eldarya TO credits, and an old Priya illustration is used as background. Literally yesterday Chino mentioned in her Instagram stories that there are lots of placeholders on the website.

Despite this, news is now circulating that the same team that worked on Eldarya is now working on New Gen. I don't think people have been saying this maliciously, it's possible that they got confused with the placeholder, which didn't have the big red disclaimer I added in the screenshot above. However now they are freaking out for no reason and bringing back so much old drama, which is also partially wrong. So here I am trying to clarify, hoping that people will see this (but alas, tumblr isn't as popular as facebook and twitter so maybe I'm just shouting into the wind).

MCL and Eldarya writing team

Part 1. High School Life and the Sally Anne drama

Firstly, at the very very beginning of MCL, Chino was on her own, she was working on both the art and the writing. However, soon later the company looked for a writer, Chino pushed for her friend Sally Anne to be hired even if she had no prior professional experience, and the company agreed. Eventually they also became roommates and even closer friends.

Now, the people who have been around for ages like me know that there was huge drama at some point. Sally Anne had some health issues and pretty much disappeared for months in the middle of Nath's arc. Lots of things were said at the time, some true some very untrue. Sally Anne made a facebook post mentioning how Chino and the company were bullying her. One of the accusations that people like to bring back all the time is that the character of Aleja, who was based on Sally Anne, was used to bully her because she was written as a bit silly. Maybe people forget that all Eldarya self-inserts are very flawed. Jamon can barely use grammar when he speaks, Kero is a coward, Ykhar an anxious nervous train wreak. I don't see anyone say that Chinomiko bullied herself by making Miiko such a raging bitch.

Anyway I believe that Sally Anne herself realised that this and other bullying accusations were unfair since she later retracted it. Some people say that she was forced by Beemoov to do so (I don't know where they would get this information, it's a pretty strong accusation). Others say that all this is common behaviour for people who suffer from addiction. I'm just going to add some additional context that most people may not be aware of since I hardly see it mentioned.

When Sally Anne left the company she started her own personal project with some friends. They put together a kickstarted campaign for a BL game and earned around 58,000€. After that however, the project never came to light because of, again, Sally Anne's personal issues. Here you can see a post from the team describing the situation, which is proof that her health condition was not connected to Beemoov work environment at all, since the same thing happened again while working on her own personal project with other friends of hers. Additionally here is the final post written soon afterward, where the team explained that they would not be able to make the game. They also said that they had used up most of the kickstarter money already even though the game had not been produced. They gave people only one month to claim their kickstarter pledge back. Considering to this day there's still people who wonder what happened to their Eldarya account, I strongly believe not many people managed to see that post and claim their money with only a one month timeframe.

Anyway, this serves as a context to show that in a very small company, when the writer disappears for whatever reason, either the project is cancelled or they have to hire someone else. Lots of people believe that Beemoov is a huge company when it's not. At the time of these events there were around 50 employees, and those people had to earn a living. Sally Anne was the only writer, this whole situation led to MCL not being released for at least half a year, which compromised everyone's salaries. Players were complaining like crazy but, despite hearing only one side of the story, they were very happy to jump on the "Sally Anne was being bullied" train once new writers were hired and they could play the game again.

So, let's talk about the "new" writers.

Part 2. Second half of High School Life and Eldarya TO

Once it was clear that Sally Anne would not be able to come back to work, Beemoov hired two new writers. Hikaru who would end up being Eldarya TO's writer, and Cassandre who took over MCL and finished High School season. (These info you can find in the games credits).

Hikaru was the CM at the time, because the company was looking for a writer for this new game Eldarya they gave her a chance. Chino and Hikaru got along well and I think it's visible in TO's writing. Remember Chino is the creator, she decides the story and the events, the writer writes them, and Chino reads and corrects the script. I think it's clear from TO's writing that they had a good synergy. Hikaru left around the end of TO for personal reasons, she moved to another city and changed career, it was her choice to kill off her self-insert (Ykhar) before leaving, so no there was no big conspiracy around the self-inserts. To this day she and Chino are still friends. But no, she's not coming back to write New Gen as people who saw the placeholder seem to believe.

Cassandre, as I said, took over MCL HSL in the middle of Nath's arc. I think it's visible that the season feels a bit different with a different writer, but I still like it, I think she did a good job as a writer. However, once high school was over, in a move that I will never understand, Beemoov's management decided to assign Eldarya to her, not as a writer but as a project manager, effectively taking over Chino's role. So Chino had to leave from around episodes 20-22 and never went back. She only provided the main storyline of the worlds merging, but at some point she resumed working on the events only.

So from around episode 20-22 to episode 29 Hikaru and Cassandre worked together, with Hikaru as the writer and Cassandre as the one deciding the plot/scenes and supervising the writing.

Part 3. Eldarya ANE + MCL University, Love and Alternate Life

Once Hikaru left, Alexis took over. So from episode 30 of TO and throughout ANE he and Cassandre have worked on Eldarya alone. This is the dream team we owe the state of Eldarya to. None of them knew the first 22 episodes of the games in depth and hence why we have all the plot holes and different characters' personalities. Additionally, at that point Cassandre started working on Uncoven so it is my personal opinion that Alexis was mostly on his own during ANE because clearly you can see that the person who wrote that had no idea what Eldarya was really about.

What happened in MCL at the same time? Once Cassandre moved to Eldarya, Beemoov found another writer for MCL, Cara, who wrote University Life. My personal opinion is that she was a good writer, I like University Life, but there's very little romance. Less than HSL for sure. But there are many funny scenes and a young adults feel that I really liked. She and Chino worked on UL together as writer/creator and it's still one of my favourite seasons, however the lack of flirting scenes is visible.

Then, when Love Life started, another writer joined the team, Antoine, Chino was still the creator and Cara remained as proofreader and also worked on Uncoven with Cassandre. My personal opinion is that there are lots of issues in Love Life because of how some themes of feminism, sexual harassment etc. are treated. Additionally the romance was even less than in UL, and some characters' personalities took a slightly strange turn. However I did like the main storyline and the ending that went full circle.

By the time Alternate Life started, both Cassandre and Cara had left the company, Antoine was still around to write additional LL episodes such as wedding and honeymoon, and the events. Eldarya's writing was over and so Alternate's writing has been the product of Alexis and Chino alone.

Part 4. What about today? MCL New Gen

New Gen is being written by Alexis and Chino, same team and dynamic as Alternate, the two of them alone. So if you see people around saying that Hikaru is back or whatever else, it's not true.

You may not like Alexis' writing after what was done to Eldarya, which I totally understand. If I hadn't played all Alternate Life I would feel the same and think that the guy isn't able to think deeper than a teaspoon. But luckily I really like what he and Chino can do together so I have a good feeling for New Gen.

As Donald Trump prepared for an important meeting with Russia’s Vladimir Putin, it stood to reason that the American president might spend the morning meeting with aides, reviewing his notes and strategy, and making sure he was fully prepared for a round of delicate diplomacy.

But shortly before the Republican’s sensitive discussion with his counterpart in Moscow got underway, he decided to let the world know what else was on his mind. HuffPost reported:

President Donald Trump on Monday launched a new attack on rock legend Bruce Springsteen along with several other major celebrities during a middle-of-the-night rant on his Truth Social website. ... He also attacked Beyonce, Oprah Winfrey and Bono, claiming without evidence they were all paid to endorse Harris during last year’s presidential election.

The first sign of trouble came last week, while Trump was still in the midst of a Middle East trip, when the president set aside some time to whine about Springsteen while simultaneously suggesting that Taylor Swift is no longer “hot,” thanks entirely to his criticisms of the pop star.

Evidently, however, these were not his final words on the subject.

“HOW MUCH DID KAMALA HARRIS PAY BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN FOR HIS POOR PERFORMANCE DURING HER CAMPAIGN FOR PRESIDENT?” Trump wrote online, in a message published at 1:34 a.m. local time. “WHY DID HE ACCEPT THAT MONEY IF HE IS SUCH A FAN OF HERS? ISN’T THAT A MAJOR AND ILLEGAL CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION? WHAT ABOUT BEYONCÉ? ... AND HOW MUCH WENT TO OPRAH, AND BONO???”

As part of the same weird rant, the president — again, ahead of his Putin meeting — went on to write, “I am going to call for a major investigation into this matter. Candidates aren’t allowed to pay for ENDORSEMENTS, which is what Kamala did, under the guise of paying for entertainment. In addition, this was a very expensive and desperate effort to artificially build up her sparse crowds. IT’S NOT LEGAL! For these unpatriotic ‘entertainers,’ this was just a CORRUPT & UNLAWFUL way to capitalize on a broken system.”

Nearly eight hours later, when he probably should’ve been preparing for his meeting related to the war in Ukraine, the American president returned to the subject. “According to news reports, Beyoncé was paid $11,000,000 to walk onto a stage, quickly ENDORSE KAMALA, and walk off to loud booing for never having performed, NOT EVEN ONE SONG!” he wrote.

“Remember, the Democrats and Kamala illegally paid her millions of Dollars for doing nothing other than giving Kamala a full throated ENDORSEMENT. THIS IS AN ILLEGAL ELECTION SCAM AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL! IT IS AN ILLEGAL CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION! BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN, OPRAH, BONO AND, PERHAPS, MANY OTHERS, HAVE A LOT OF EXPLAINING TO DO!!!”

To the extent that reality still has any meaning in situations like this, let’s just briefly note that there’s literally no evidence of Harris or her campaign paying anyone for endorsements; there was nothing “unlawful” or “corrupt” about the support the then-Democratic nominee received from celebrities during the 2024 campaign; Beyoncé did not face “loud booing” after she endorsed Harris; and there’s nothing “illegal” about public figures publicly backing a presidential candidate.

It’s also probably worth mentioning in passing that Trump’s hysterical online communications don’t do any favors to his “very stable genius” description of himself.

But of particular interest was the president’s interest in “a major investigation into this matter.”

All things considered, there’s no reason to get too worked up about every Trump tantrum, his rage toward celebrities who’ve dared to criticize him, his weird approach to pop culture, or his use of the word “illegal” as a synonym for “stuff I don’t like.” What I do care about, however, is the president’s willingness to use the power of the state to pursue critics in authoritarian-style fashion.

This is especially true now with the Justice Department led by an attorney general who apparently sees herself as an extension of the White House and its political agenda — which raises the prospect of a federal investigator actually initiating a probe into celebrities that Trump doesn’t like.

Warning: Avoid Mod the Sims Forums

So, this has got to be the weirdest, most embarrassing turn of events for me, but I had to get this off my chest.

I've been on Mod the Sims forever. It's been the most helpful place I've ever been to in terms of troubleshooting issues, particularly with Create a World. Because of this, I am hugely indebted to the site and the amazing tutorials and advice that still continues to be a treasure trove to this day.

But as of 2024, I can't recommend the forums anymore. It's weird, because in the wake of EA announcing that it was closing the official forums for Sims 3, I was recommending making a jump to Mod the Sims. The reason why is that it has great regulars who are the most knowledgeable of the sims community, and the forum software is great.

However, I wound up with egg on my face. No sooner was I encouraging people to jump to the MTS forums, they became the epicenter of tons of drama because of several troublemakers creating chaos there. I won't go into too much detail about Problem Poster #1, because apparently, it's not politically correct to complain about someone who might genuinely be mentally disabled.

Problem Poster #2 was a straight up psycho, getting triggered because she got a dislike on her posts, which always happens at MTS. (Even the two popular regulars/retired mods at MTS have gotten downvotes.) She then started baiting posters by accusing anyone who disagreed with her about Sims 3 or Paralives as "working for EA/Paralives."

One thing led to another and her posts became increasingly incoherent, practically screaming with rage and throwing out paranoid accusations that people were "watching her", that the forum was full of "jealous bitches" and "whores."

No amount of reassuring her that nothing was going on could calm her down and that everyone gets dislikes. If anything, the more people talked to her, the crazier she got. Naturally, with someone making a spectacle of themselves, this brought even more dislikes (because you know how it goes when someone makes a mountain out of a molehill).

By Day Three of her irrational, crazed rampage, she was cackling about how the dwindling of dislikes was "proof" that blocking people showed that there was a group of "jealous bitches" following her, when the reality is that people had stopped wasting time with dislikes and were just reporting her to get banned. Then she started attacking me, calling me a bitch repeatedly, accusing me of "starting it" and stalking her for three days.

Instead of banning her, the admins at MTS didn't. They merely removed the posts where she went full blown Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs and let her more rational posts stand to just pretend that none of this happened.

Then they allowed her to pretty much remain, with the illusion that she's a pinnacle of the community. But if you see the posts that the admins left standing to make her look rational, you can nevertheless see the signs of when she started to mentally unravel.

This is not even the first time this type of thing has happened, not just to me, but to another poster. I remember there being drama last year when a poster got a temporary suspension for supposedly being racist against Asians, when she was Asian herself.

So, that was it for me. I've been an active member of MTS since 2012, both as someone seeking advice, but also someone wanting to give back to the forum out of gratitude for all the help it had given me. I even gave a shout out to the forum in my latest world and posted links to it from my website. I don't know if the people who own and run the site have changed hands or just stopped giving a fuck in the wake of the pandemic or dwindling visitors and ad revenue, but I won't be posting at MTS anymore and I don't recommend the forums to anyone. When you allow an unhinged person to go off and then "cover their tracks," I can only imagine what other horrible, nasty things that posters have said that were also hidden from view.

Why GTA V can't be played on Mobile devices?

One of the most anticipated game as well as hyped game of this era, Grand Theft Auto V has limitations too. In a sense that it cant be played on portable devices like Mobile devices(Android or iOS). There are several reasons why this game cant be played on the mobile devices. Since the concept of bringing/developing GTA V on Mobile is quite intriguing, There are lots of challanges and difficulties that you need to face to play this game on mobile devices, Here are some in-depth analysis why GTA V cannot be played on Mobile devices:

Technical Workability

Processing Power: Since, there are lots of generation of advanced mobile devices, despite their impressive advancements and power the game still lacks powerful processor to handle this game on the mobile devices. Not only this, Rockstar Games are dedicated to release this game on consoles and pc version only because this game is developed using RAGE game engine and this game engine is not compatible to play it on the mobile devices. Just in case, if the game is made available on the mobile devices then compromisation should be done that leads sacrifice in performance and visual fidelity.

Graphics Potential

Nowadays smartphones devices has been advanced, even top-tier mobile devices would struggle to render GTA 5's extremely detailed environments at an acceptable quality and frame rate. Even if it works on mobile devices it wont works smoothly or the FPS will drop it will be too poor to play on. Its necessary to downgrade in graphical system so that it can be played on mobile devices.

Control Concerns

There are lots of crazy stuff in GTA V which can be done inside the game. So one of the most important thing that should be changed on the mobile devices ie "Control Precision". There will be problem in the controlling system. Touchscreens just cant be applicable to run the game smoothly, Precise driving control, shooting, running and walking and many more wont work properly which is important concerns for mobile devices.

Hardware Problem

Since games like Grand Theft Auto V uses hardware in full potential so there might be the heating issue, which cant be ignored or solved, even with the cooler on the devices wont be appropriate. Mobile devices will be destroyed because of this issue so its quite impossible to play GTA V on the mobile devices properly.

Storage Issue

Storage problem is huge issue of this game, because the game requires more than 100 GB of free space to play, There might be needed more free space for online mode too, which is not compatible for low-end devices even on the high-end mobile devices it can be issue due to file size of images in gallery can create trouble.

Online Issue

As we know that, Grand Theft Auto V is compatible for online mode too, which is pretty amazing features for open-world game lovers. But the issue is that it can be problematic for the mobile gamers because of the lagging issue. It requires intense-speed internet connections for smooth online experiences. So consistent internet connection is quite impossible.

However, there are some legit ways to play Grand Theft Auto V on mobile devices. But first thing first, you need to be aware of fake websites that provides apps/games. They all are false promises, so you need to be aware of this scams and phising.

So if you are eager to hop into the game on mobile devices then there are options too like emulators, remote play, mods, cloud gaming services, also similar open world games.

NEW BOOK SUBMISSION

FIRST CREATION || MARS ADLER

Another day, another book entry! Today the Queer Book Directory spit out First Creation by Mars Adler!

First Creation is a high spice horror novella following the Angel of Truth, Amitiel, as he runs from his fellow angels with the fallen angel Stolas. It's a lovely novella that I would argue is cozy horror, if you find cannibalism and the eroticization of The Horrors as cozy.

There's also the peach scene. I will never be able to look at peaches the same way.

SUMMARY

Amitiel, an angel of God, and Stolas, a fallen angel-turned-spy, should be enemies. However, after they uncover a shocking secret that drives them to desert, they go on the run together in modern-day America. Both are injured, and it’s only by chance that they stumble upon a long-abandoned church.

Ensconced in the alluring, stifling church with a forgotten cemetery and too many peach trees, they finally have time to heal. They also have time to think and plan, which is as much a blessing as it is a curse.

Amitiel must come to terms with his strange hunger and forbidden desires, while Stolas plans their next move. They both grapple with the knowledge of where their food rations came from, and that something is very wrong in the heart of Heaven itself. God has vanished, and if he isn’t giving the orders, who is condoning the atrocities the angels commit in the name of winning?

FIRST CREATION is an erotic horror novella. It is a love letter to fallen angels, rediscovering religion in a way that works for you, queer rage, and hunger of all kinds. It deals with some very heavy themes and is not intended for anyone under the age of 18. For a full list of content warnings please check the author’s website.

CONTENT WARNINGS

death, murder, blood and graphic gore, graphic cannibalism, war, food rationing and mentions of hunger and starvation, manipulation (mentioned, off page), blood drinking (erotic), explicit sexual content

REPRESENTATION

trans and queer MCs

I've been a nurse for fifteen years this year, and one of the major things that was pushed more than anything else, was the Social Determinants of Health. Beyond genetics, heredity, predisposition or accident, these social factors always always had a stronger influence on someones health. They were, Income and social status (class), education and working conditions, childhood experiences, physical environment, social supports and coping, behaviour, access to health, racism, gender, and culture.

Time and again, money, access, and social capital have more effect on health than any other social determinant. Intersectionality also effects this horribly (which is why at least according to the canada public health website, gender, culture and racism have been added, I seem to remember that there were 7 determinants back when I was actively studying this, but many more studies have been done to show how these also effect continued health).

I worked for ten years in mental health, and I can tell you time and again, that no matter how difficult a time someone is having with their mental health, it is always always worse if there is financial strain/stress. The whole full moon full ER thing may have been debunked, but I can tell you that admissions to mental health dropped off at the end of the month when social assistance money was released. Because for a few days, the stress of not enough money was a least temporarily alleviated.

However, it wasn't until I switched to an out patient clinic and started seeing people in the community that I really got a full view of how these social determinants played against each other, and how they are all affected by money. Since 2022 (I switched to the clinic in 2021 so it took a full year to really see the changes), I have noticed this every single day, with how stressed folks were getting, the increase in relapses, the huge increase in lost housing ( renovictions, loss of jobs, the phasing out of CERB, rental price hikes) all of them collided to create a huge ongoing issue. And I know that larger cities are facing this as well, but when a small town, with little in the way of housing, slumlords who have always taken advantage of people, are now incentivized to make bank off the backs of people who literally couldn't afford to move, I have real issues.

Any time someone doing a fucking focus group asks what would help, I'm the obnoxious one yelling, 'money', goddamn money. if someone can pay their bills and not worry about losing their home, have food and safety and shelter, their lives are that much better, and they are that much healthier. And if you need to be mercenary about it, housing and shelter saves money, because the number of accidents and risks go down significantly.

It's eye-opening and rage inducing that we are fully aware that stress, and social inequality is literally killing people and we have proof of this, but those who hold the purse strings would rather give themselves a 3rd yacht than help anyone else.

Shellin Got Salted

JTS has recently announced the new episode of Joseph’s World titled Snail House on both Newgrounds and YouTube. The episode seems to be a recreation of the 2018 episode titled "The Snail House," which was never made into a full-length animation. It was originally a slideshow-style video of Gary allowing wild snails into the house, with Joseph eventually kicking them out.

However, since this episode is being created for the reboot of Joseph’s World following the previous episode, The Great Political Showdown, it’s likely that JosephTheSnail will improve Snail House for new audiences. I’m not an associate of Joseph, so please don’t assume that I know the full plot of the episode.

That said, I recall seeing a video claiming to be the actual episode of Snail House, and honestly? An episode being made this quickly? That sounds neat. I’m just worried it might seem rushed, but who knows? Joseph probably got motivated and went straight to work and got it done.

The following episode appeared on an obscure video-sharing website, and I’m not going to name it or provide the URL for reasons that will become clear later.

A user on the site claimed to be JosephTheSnail and said, "Hey, I decided to release Snail House early on this site exclusively before I post it on the JTS YouTube and Newgrounds page. Keep in mind that this is still a work in progress; enjoy!"

The comments were disabled, so I couldn’t see what people thought about it, but regardless, I didn’t buy it. I don’t think Joseph would use sites like these. Yes, I’ve seen his name on random sites that you wouldn’t expect, like Redbubble, for example, but he doesn’t really use them. Heck, he even has an account on X, but he doesn’t use it at all—there’s only one post by him. But hey, I enjoy watching animations; maybe it’s actually good, and it could be in Joseph’s usual art style.

The episode started with the usual intro: the JTS logo and the regular show intro, featuring the main trio—Joseph, Zach, and Shellin—appearing on the screen. But then, the title of what was supposed to be Snail House was something else. The title was Shellin Got Salted, spelled exactly like that in the normal font.

Okay, strange title, but whatever works, I guess. It’s kind of dark when you think about it, but maybe I’m digging too deep. It could just be something comedic, like Shellin cooking food and pouring salt into it. Many episodes tend to be comedic, but in a worst-case scenario, is Shellin potentially dying from the salt? After all, salt is known to kill snails.

The episode started off like many others, with the characters in their living room, though some episodes begin in the car. The art style and voices sounded accurate, but I was still skeptical about whether this was really Joseph’s work. The scene showed Joseph, Zach, and Shellin watching television. Shellin starts being annoying, talking in his usual Jeff Boomhauer-esque manner. Joseph, as expected, shows his usual signs of anger as he walks to the kitchen with Shellin following him.

Joseph is trying to get a root beer from the fridge when he stares at Shellin from behind. Shellin doesn't stop talking. Joseph starts gritting his teeth, and his eyes become bloodshot as he screams, "Shellin, shut the hell up!"

Joseph pulls salt off the counter and begins sprinkling it onto Shellin. Shellin watches in horror as the salt lands on him and his eyes start to water. Joseph doesn’t notice, and as the salt continues to fall on Shellin, he grabs the snail and strangles him. Shellin cries out, "J-Joseph, stop! You just... caused salt to go on my body..."

Joseph halts his violent and out-of-character rage and finally notices the salt. He begins trembling, shaking, and apologizing over and over to Shellin as he starts to dry up. Tears start draining from Joseph’s eyes, and he yells out Zach’s name, saying they need to go to the emergency room now. The only sign of comedy in this part is Zach, who dryly says, "You mean the vet, right?"

Act one begins with the vet being shown for the first time in the show, albeit only mentioned in the pilot. The only sound coming from the outside is Joseph’s cries as the camera pans inside. Joseph is just standing next to the table with Shellin lying on his back.

Shellin looks absolutely disturbing. He’s still dry from the salt, but his gray skin has a brownish tint, as if he’s decaying. Some of his skin is slowly falling apart, revealing blood underneath. His teeth, which are usually cartoonish, now look human-like and yellowed, with blood staining them. His eyes are slightly closed, but one is wide open, red and bloodshot, with blood gushing out. The most fear-inducing part is how Shellin seems to be staring directly at me, the viewer.

Joseph stares at Shellin, crying more and more as he places his face onto the table next to him.

Act one ends with Zach joining in the crying, and then Act two opens with the remaining two sitting in their living room. The house now looks much darker and more morbid. Cobwebs fill the corners, and the walls are peeling. Joseph and Zach, both deeply saddened, watch television, which is just static.

Joseph sighs and says, "You know what, maybe a root beer will calm me down. Do you want one, Zach?"

Zach responds, "I don’t normally drink root beer, but you know what, sure."

Joseph gets up from the peeling purple sofa and heads to the kitchen, sighing. He shakily grabs a can, opens it, and drops it. He quietly says, "Damn it..." He tries to pick it up, but the remaining liquid drips out. He’s able to save half of the drink, sips it, and then grabs the other can and hands it to Zach.

Zach thanks him, grabs the drink, opens it, and starts drinking. The act ends with them just sipping their drinks and watching dead air for the rest of the scene, followed by text on the screen: "20 years have passed."

There’s a montage of the brothers looking for a new friend, a snail like Shellin. But judging by the 20 years that have passed, the brothers are now older—Joseph is 37, and Zach is 43. They search for hours, but to their dismay, all the snails have become extinct.

Eventually, they arrive at a cemetery, a location never shown in the series before. They search for Shellin’s grave and begin crying as Joseph kneels down and says something to Shellin, if he's still out there, somewhere:

"Shellin... I am sorry for what I’ve done. I am sorry for my attitude toward you. I could have controlled it."

Joseph remains there, kneeling in front of the grave, as it rains. Zach fades away, leaving Joseph alone as flames begin to appear in the background, symbolizing Joseph’s descent into hell in a metaphoric sense, bringing the episode to a close.

Available on: Kobo and my website

Synopsis: Melvin Hardy and Kade Axel appear to be a match made in heaven. After a meet-cute in the rain, the two quickly find themselves in a burgeoning, wholesome relationship.

Yet, things feel…off. It isn’t the ghosts of their pasts that resurface to test the strength of their partnership—no—it’s something nebulous. Something indescribable. Melvin can’t put his finger on it but, the more time he spends with Kade, the more he starts to wonder what’s real and what’s pure fiction.

Full epilogue under the cut:

Epilogue:

The dim lighting in the kitchen sets the mood for dinner and those gorgeous eyes meet mine and I hold that gaze for a long while. Kade smiles at me as our hands are clasped over the table. A large meal, made up of many parts and a result of hours of care and work in the kitchen, sits between us.

It’s a special occasion though bittersweet in nature.

I usually cook for us but Kade took on the task today. He wants to do everything he can for me on this day—even if I don’t think that’s entirely fair. The gesture is sweet, however; I can admit that. Besides, it’s the intent that truly matters and I’m already planning ways that I can pay him back in the following days.

It’s been a year since Oswald Friar was taken to jail, forever leaving our lives and gifting us this peace and quiet. As I said, the anniversary doesn’t necessarily hold the best memories for us but it’s still worth looking back and appreciating how far we’ve come.

Pictures from that fateful night pop into my mind and, while they’re fuzzy, I still want to swat them away.

The way I felt when I saw Kade tied to that bed was like nothing I’d ever felt before and like nothing I ever want to feel again. Even if my memory is spotty—blanked out by the rage I flew into—I know what it makes me feel. What I’m missing in those empty spaces, I can fill in with the gut knowing I have.

Kade is the same way though we barely ever speak of it anymore. He buried most of the experience deep down and only recalls me rushing into that apartment and beating Oswald until the cops came.

I glance to our hands, laced together on the table, and I scan over the scars on my wrist. My brow twitches and I feel my stomach churn but I give it no further thought. I squeeze his hand.

“You really didn’t have to make all this just for me,” I say for what feels like the millionth time.

Kade chuckles and then shakes his head. He’s let his hair grow out some and he looks like an angel from a renaissance painting come to life. “It’s the least I can do for my hero. Every year, starting now, I want to celebrate you and thank you for saving my life.”

“But I should be the one cooking for you after everything you went through.”

He squeezes my hand in return but glances away. I fear I’ve upset him by mentioning his trauma too directly but he sighs and looks back at me. A smile hangs on in spite of everything. “You can appreciate me in other ways, you know.”

That sly look is unmistakable and I find myself grinning. “Don’t tease me,” I say and finally pull my hand away from his. If I don’t, we’ll just sit here and stare into each other’s eyes until our food goes cold.

Kade follows my lead but he does wait for me to take a bite before picking up his utensils. “Is it any good?” he asks, leaning forward with anticipation.

“Perfect,” I tell him, “Just like you.”

The blush I love so dearly blossoms across his cheeks and he looks down at his plate. He busies himself with eating and I keep my gaze on him when I can while I enjoy the wonderful meal he’s made for me. My mind, however, races with what we’ll do after dinner.

Of course, I’ll wash the dishes and clean up but, after that…

We have all night to be together and I intend to savor every second with my love. In my mind’s eye, I see our bodies intertwined, under the sheets and painted in the blue light of the moon as it pours into the room. The romantic imagery of my mind’s eye is so realistic I could get lost in it.

A thump against my foot gets my attention back on my love. Kade shoots me a lopsided grin and I realize that it’s his foot which taps against mine under the table. He pushes against me once more and I think that he must be able to see the direction my thoughts are taking me through the expression on my face alone. The corner of his lip hikes even further up and he says, “Wanna skip dishes?”

I mimic his smile. “Maybe.”

We’re both ready to jump up and race each other to the bedroom but, before we can even scoot our chairs back, the lights cut out.

My heart skips a beat at the suddenness of it but I collect my thoughts quickly. I pull my phone from my pocket and try to turn on the flashlight but the screen won’t even turn on. I push the button a few times and nothing happens. That’s strange—I could have sworn that I charged the thing this morning.

“Shit…what the hell?” I mumble before taking a stand.

There is a window nearby so I pull the curtain to the side and open the blinds, letting in the orange glow from the solar powered streetlamp below. It isn’t great but it lets me see a little better.

I turn back to the table and notice that Kade hasn’t moved at all. He’s not looking at me or the light from the window—he’s just staring straight ahead.

In a rush of thought and repressed feeling, I’m hit with the realization that the fog is gone. And not stilled or diluted—gone. There is a lot wrong with what’s been happening lately and while I’d like to sort those issues out, Kade takes precedence.

I return to the table and lean down to get a better look at him. Half of his face is still hidden in darkness but the half that’s illuminated strikes me.

A lump forms in my throat as I look at him. He’s still not moving and I’m reminded of my co-workers and so many other, lifeless people I’ve come across over the past year and a half in this small town.

I wave my hand in front of his face, watching for any signs of life. “Kade…?” I call out to him but I keep my voice down, soft and low.

Nothing.

“Kade!” I jump to shouting instantly and I shake him. At least, when I move him, his brows push together. There could still be something—someone—in there. “Kade…” I hold my breath as I watch him.

His mouth moves as if he wants to say something and his eyebrows turn up as a tear slips down his cheek. It takes minutes although it feels like hours but he slowly looks up at me.

He’s scared.

“Kade, what’s wrong?” I ask before insisting, “Talk to me!”

He blinks and another tear falls. His eyes burn straight through me. “She’s gone…”

My chest seizes and I grab both of his shoulders, needing to hold onto something and also hoping to push him to tell me more. “Who is she?” I ask, tightening my grip.

Is it the same “she” Oswald spoke of? The same “she” that I heard in my head? The same “she” who’s done everything? Who’s controlled our lives?

Kade’s bottom lip trembles and he asks me, “What do I do now?”

I don’t know what to say to that—I’m not even sure what he means. I also don’t want to interrupt him since I see him gulp and prepare to speak again.

His eyes dart around the room as if he’s trying to find something to focus on other than me. “She’s not telling me what to do…my head…it’s…it’s…”

“It’s what?” I urge, hanging onto every word.

Kade blinks and then whispers, just loud enough for me to hear, “Empty.”

“What a mess this is our family! Experts can see this is so! Photographs can’t capture our magic we’re simply tragic…”

Afton Family portrait circa 1981, maybe even 1980. William probably dragged them all to Sears to take the photo. This was taken several months before William and Dolores divorce. After the divorce, William tips Dolores’ face out of the family photo. However, Michael keeps the photo of his mother’s face and tapes her back in when William goes missing.

More lore under the cut, there’s a glitch where it repeats the first paragraph and idk how to fix it sorry this website is a piece of shit

Dolores Cortez and William Afton met in 1964 while Dolores was an aspiring stage and screen actress, working as a waitress in a diner. She took pity on William, who was desperately trying to flirt with her, and humored him. She agreed to go out to dinner with him, but eventually got swept off her feet by his doting nature and kind words. He convinces her that acting is a risky job and getting someone to help support her is a logical option, so she settles for him and they marry in 1965. Two years into their marriage they have Michael. Then 5 years later they have Evan and then finally, 6 years after that found that they were expecting another child.

However, this one was unplanned. William was ecstatic, especially after the first ultrasound when they learned they were expecting a little girl. Dolores however, was not. She had already given her career up and as much as she loved William (for some reason) and her two sons she didn’t want more. But William being William manipulated her into keeping the baby and thus Elizabeth Dolores Afton was born.

Shortly after that, William and Henry finally started establishing the Pizzeria they’ve been talking about for years. It’s 1979, Fazbear’s Family Diner is being constructed, William is working day in and day out, barely having time to be home by dinner. Feeling neglected, Dolores goes out for a drink and ends up meeting another man. She doesn’t even remember his name but she has a one night stand with him. She returns home and never speaks of it to anyone. Until William begins working on a second restaurant.

William is now working full time on two restaurants working live at Fredbear’s and managing Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria, once again leaving Dolores alone to care for the children herself, marriage begins to crumble and fights start to become more frequent, culminating in Dolores telling William she cheated on him 2 years before that.

William flies into a rage, extremely hurt and accuses her of breaking the family, she replies that it was him who broke the family first, forcing her to have another child and never being home, William strikes her. He immediately regrets it and falls to his knees but Dolores is already out of the door and a few days later she mails him the divorce papers.

in the city of angels.

NAME: Asha Dean FACE CLAIM: Chloe Bailey AGE & DATE OF BIRTH: 25 & April 17th, 1997 HOMETOWN: Atlanta, Georgia TIME IN LOS ANGELES: Two years NEIGHBORHOOD: Santa Monica OCCUPATION: Exotic dancer, OnlyFans model, waitress

biography.

trigger warning: abortion

Born to Eric Dean, a well known film director, and Jasmine Dean, a retired model, Asha Dean is the eldest of the Dean children with a younger sister following three years behind her. Being the oldest, Asha had first born privileges - being that her parents were still trying to figure it all out. So, she got away with quite a bit and of course, was spoiled endlessly. She, and her sister, were Eric and Jasmine’s pride and joy.

Growing up, Asha lived a life of luxury in Atlanta, going to all the best schools, training in dance, piano, and voice, competing in beauty pageants and the like. She was what many in the ‘A’ would call black royalty. Not actually royal of course but in the circles she ran in, she was that girl and she lived for it.

Then as those rebellious teenage years hit things took a turn. She was of course still that girl but she was now that girl with raging hormones. And being the girl everyone wanted to either be or be with, she had her options when it came to a dating pool. Unfortunately for her parents though, Asha didn’t like the suit wearing, classy, upstanding boys from her private school. Nope. She liked the roughnecks, the bad boys, the guys with the motorcycle and tattoos.

And that’s exactly who she fell for. Everything her parents hated. He was a little older, tall, handsome, tatted up, and drove a Camaro. Oh, to say she was swooning was an understatement. She fell and she fell hard. So hard, that at 17 she got pregnant. Her parents were furious with her. They forced her to break up with her boyfriend and they quietly handled the situation. However, that wasn’t enough.

Right after graduation, they put her out. Disowned. She was on her own and had to fend for herself. At this point, her ex-boyfriend was long gone but luckily, she was able to stay with a friend for a few months as she figured things out. Figuring things out turned into OnlyFans really quickly. No, she wasn’t doing full on porn or anything. She was just modeling in the skimpiest outfits you could think of. And it worked. She was making a killing.

After a while, she made a few friends from OnlyFans and learned that on top of the website, a lot of them were also working as exotic dancers. Pft. She could do that in her sleep. She was trained in ballet, tap, hip-hop, modern, and contemporary. Shaking her ass and doing tricks on a pole was light work. Or so she thought. It was actually much harder than she ever imagined. It took training and actual skill. Real strength. But over time, she learned and actually got really good at it.

So, that was her life now. She didn’t speak to her parents much, if at all, but she was still in secret contact with her little sister. That’s one thing her parents couldn’t take away from her. The connection she and her mini-me had.

After a few years, Asha decided that she was ready for a fresh start. She wanted to rid herself of that scarlet letter and just start anew where no one knew her. What better place than Los Angeles. It was bustling constantly and so full of life and character. It was a place where she was a nobody and she could change the narrative. She moved to the city and found a nice little apartment in Santa Monica and settled in. After a few months, she got situated at a new club to dance and found her footing. She also got a job on the side working as a waitress. Now, two years later, she’s applied to UCLA to finally get her MBA in Business Administration because she has dreams of opening up her very own dance studio one day.

Charcherry Weekly - Issue 120

Hey, Mage of Light Nick Card here. Holy moley we're running at full steam again. Hold onto your hats because we've got news in spades!

A Little Birdie Told Them

Last Saturday, there was a reported attack at voidco's main office in the furthest ring. 37 employees were reported dead, plus one intern. Causes of death were largely puncture wounds. These were allegedly from a relentless rampage by their own boss, but this has yet to be confirmed. It is said that the assailant was enraged by a number of messages posted on the popular but recently collapsing social media website, Twitter. One of the "tweets" were sent from an impersonating company account with a Twitter blue subscription, which at the time of the incident was offered for a monetary subscription fee, instead of a badge granted out of recognition of authenticity (as it had previously been before a certain vanilla timeline rich guy had acquired and gutted the company that runs that particular social media platform).

The inciting message had stated that voidco's energy recycling fountain services had been made free of charge. This statement was unfortunately false, and it is likely that the popular utility for dead dreambubble inhabitants will remain a payed service.

Some may remember a few years back that this payment used to be illegally expected to be payed in souls, and only after legal challenge by Desertian President Katyleen Kitten was this practice discontinued, though it is unconfirmed if this was applied to any bubbles beyond the underworld bubble. After the counterfeit Twitter post, a number of tweets from the official account were also posted, one of them sarcastically stating that "every month is wrath month" at Voidco. It is assumed this was sent during the incident in question. Shortly after this, an epitaph post (a tweet sent with a ~ATH based API meant to send the account holder's final tweet upon their death) was found posted to this account, containing the victim's name and a desire for the company's unionization. A number of personal accounts belonging to various other voidco employees also posted their own protests and subsequent epitaphs. Voidco stocks fell to an all-time low on this day. In tangential news, your dear newsletter writer had decided to buy a pair of important internet checkmarks for the blog that hosts this newsletter, for the sake of supporting tumblr's ability to keep hosting blogs like this.

Hitting the Slots

On monday, the dungeon crashers set off to assist Seer of Space Jessica with rescuing her girlfriend, Sylph of Heart Ellie Winters. Joining Jessica was Desertian President Witch of Time Katyleen Kitten, her dear wife Samus Kitten, Heir of Hope Hazel Careon, Rogue of Heart Charles, Unity Village Mayor Brae Emit, and Page of Rage Jovin Castle. The party made their way to the Indigo Treasure Casino in the Little Derse district and quickly encountered Neon city's Mayor Karma. MK welcomed the dungeon crashers but warned them not to cause too much damage to the casino. Once inside, the group began to wander a little, soon finding a locked door to the high rollers club, requiring a payment of 500 casino tokens to be opened. After searching in places for tokens, the party began playing on the slot machines, which wound up being a low-paying waste of time for the most part. You see, this is why I don't go to casinos. They're designed to take your money. At the end of the day, the house always wins. However, there was more than just slots there. It turns out that casino also has a number of pinball machines, which reportedly give a far better payout than the slot machines. From what I hear, Jovin is apparently some kinda pinball wizard, while Brae and Hazel worked together to cheese the system with Brae's recently obtained magnet gloves. Charles encountered a problem with the machine they were using and wound up getting bopped with a boxing glove after activating the tilt sensor. Brae and Hazel's token payout, with Jovin's token payout, were enough combined to open the door to the high roller's club. Before this however, a number of hollow carapaces were found in a number of rooms. It is unknown if they had actually died, or if carapacians practice molting. It is largely assumed to be the former, as bizarre as it is to find an exosksleton with nothing inside of it, still wearing clothes.

Eventually, the party entered an expo room, where it appeared that Dr. Winters was giving a TED Talk or something. It turned out, she was unable to be drained in the same way as others due to being a sylph of heart, and as a result, she was able to convince her captors to untie her. However, she had also been tempted to join voidco as a therapist, which would more than likely be a death sentence, considering the events of the twitter incident. Fortunately, Katie counter-offered Ellie a better job, which she begrudgingly accepted. However, the room was also filled with an entire audience of voidco employees. Hazel and Jovin offered positions at the Sea Saw Resort (recently refurbished and now under new management), and as gym trainers at the Unity Gym.Somehow, every previous voidco employee walked out with a job offer that day. Charles wiped out the dungeon core with his broken stargate, and wound up blasting a hole in the ceiling as a result.

Meanwhile, an unknown group approached the unity pokemon center, with the intent of rescuing someone that had been detained at an earlier date. Your dear newsletter writer teamed up with Brae to defend the pokemon center. She likely could have done it herself, having her Eternatus, Bahamut, available to assist. A number of time players forced a retreat at the end. Fortunately, there were minimal realized dangers to this particular incident. The detained target was later sent to desertian prison.

Jessica and Ellie were given a house to stay in together in desertia town. Jessica reportedly disowned her former brother after encountering him in a nightmare. Ellie Winters is likely to begin accepting new clients soon.

Birthday Fun

On november 16th, a sizable number of friends arrived at my doorstep to celebrate mine and Aeons's birthdays. I had turned 28, and they had turned 35. We got a number of suits, pokemon toys, a carrot cake to share, and some custom lego sets. It was a really nice birthday occasion, except for the time I remembered what happened during the v1 session.

The next day, a certain page of void had apparently visited the isle of chronos on the anniversary of chronos's death. There were a number of reported offerings left at the memorial, including three black roses, and a note on black paper, with the words "For what could have been" written in teal ink.

This week’s known market stands in Desertia Town:

Pudding stand (this week)

Tennis Racket stand (this week)

Katie's potion stand (*CaFAI filling in for Katie when unavailable)

Brae's canned goods stand (currently being restocked)

shinyjiggly pokesnacks stand (ran by Rufus)

okay, I physically cannot stay awake any longer, I need to go to sleep now. Looking forwards to how many of us manage to make it to therapy soon! Also say hi to my occasional left beef guest artist who recently rolled into town, Witch of Heart Cyrus (Not to be confused with ex galactic admin Cyrus, who showed up last year.). https://letssosl.boards.net/thread/346/charcherry-weekly-issue-120

Manager!Seijoh Part 2

a/n: lmao this is kinda weird for me but i think this was an interesting request so lets try it!

for more seijoh content, check this masterlist out!

lowkey kyotani kentaro typa beat but you gotta squint (??)

also warning! angst!

anon request: Hii! I just read the seijoh manager headcannon you wrote, it made me cry so much, i love those seijoh boys so much, and you are such an amazing writer! I dont know if requests are open or not but i was wondering what would happen if the boys ever find out what happened to reader cha? If requests aren’t open or if you just don’t want to write about it, I completely understand! Thank you for your wonderful writing again! Stay safe!

the stageplay was *chefs kiss* like MY MANS IWA WAS SERVING LOOKSSSS

soooooo

this might get really angsty idk so just a warning in advance

anyways

i mentioned in the earlier part that no one really knew what happened to you

so this one is when they DO find out what happened and what theyre gonna do about it

so first off, kyoken was basically the only one who saw you that day and saw how badly you looked

the thing is, at that current moment, he didnt really know the reason why and what happened

he had theories that you got jumped or you just got into an accident

but he was prettttttyyyy sure you got beat up

so you went home and rushed to yanno, take a shower and get your wound treated and cleaned so that it would heal bc you really cannot afford to let the boys see that

they would think of the worst at the smallest sight of blood on you and you really didnt want to deal w that chaos at the moment

you cant let them get suspended from school since they were going to interhigh soon and you cant let oikawa and the boys ruin their reputations just for you

a first year girl theyve just met

it was kinda hard to rinse all of the milk from your hair but you were able to at least get the smell out and clean up your mess

then you looked in the mirror and saw faint handprints around your throat from that girl miyo and you cringed as you touched it

‘jesus christ, seriously what does she eat? bricks?’

after your clothes were in the wash, you went to bed to get homework done and also looking up how to use the concealer to hide your bruises

you didnt really own any makeup but your mom has some so you could just use that

during dinner, you wore a turtleneck to prevent any suspicion from happening but you couldnt really hide the big gash on your face

‘y/n, what happened!’

‘i was dumb and accidentally fell up the stairs’

your parents shared a chuckle bc theyve actually seen you do this before so it was easy to believe the lie

‘darling, do we need to get you glasses? it seems your sight has worsened’

‘haha’

you went along with the joke but you weren’t eating and just pushed your food around

‘y/n? is the food not good?’

your mother asked but you shook your head with a convincing smile

‘its good! i just had some meat buns with the team earlier and i ate a lot so im still full’

you cursed at yourself for making it sound so rehearsed but you were relieved when your mother nodded

the next morning, you were satisfied with the reduced puffing of your face and you snuck into your parents bathroom where her makeup bag would be

as you held up the concealer, you started getting anxious because this was not the same shade as your skin and it would definitely raise suspicion if you had a different color on your neck than the rest of your body

you already planned to blame your wound as acne that you accidentally scratched but what were you going to do with the handprints?

the website you read said that it would take at least a day for them to fade

so you decided youd just wear a scarf and pretend you were cold

kunimi was confused as to why you had a scarf bundled around your neck and his eyes even widened at the sight of the bandaid on your face

‘y/n! what-!’

he shot up from his seat and your eyes widened before hissing at him to sit down

‘what happened to you?!’

he worriedly asked but you waved him off with a small smile

‘acne. this was the only available bandaid in my house so i had to work with this’

kunimi might be a lazy little shit but he was observant

and he noticed the way you said that sentence

it was like a robot

like a robot programmed to say what was written on its script

but before he could press on further, you already pointed out that the teacher was coming in and to hush so you could listen

the entire time, kunimi was awake alright, but he was too busy looking at you and a bright red thing that poked from the edge of your bandaid

kindaichi went to your classroom for lunch and you had to repeat your excuse for him but he pointed at another thing

‘why are you wearing a scarf? its like burning in here’

you didnt look at him as you just opened your bento

‘being in your period causes your temperature to fluctuate and cause unexplainable chill at even the hottest places’

okay what

they both shared a look and just shrugged, blaming it on your time of the month for the way you spoke with no emotion in your tone

this had to be the longest school day of your life

the whole time the scarf remained on and kunimi cant help but notice your flinches at the smallest of sounds

finally practice arrived and you really thought you could pull this off until oikawa barreled straight towards you and hugged you tightly

‘y/n-chan! you okay?! oikawa-senpai was so worried for you!’

you cringed but nodded

‘im okay, oikawa-san’

‘senpai, y/n-chan! call me senpai!’

‘im not going to feed into your kink, oikawa-san’

*cue everyone busting a lung*

‘y/n, what’s the-’

‘acne. only bandaid available in my house’

eventually, everything was fine

you were still cracking jokes w the others and you were still laughing w them so kunimi and kindaichi were at ease

but that shattered when oikawa was being oikawa and was being all touchy and bothering you about the scarf around your neck that he ended up pulling it off and he saw the marks

he was silent, just staring at them

ofc you were freaking out and you started breathing heavily

oh god he found out and he was going to hurt them

‘o-oikawa-senpai, listen, it’s not what it-’

‘y/n’

his voice made your eyes shut in fear and the others crowded around you and they all had scandalized looks on their faces

‘is this why you werent in practice yesterday?’

his voice was sharp, a complete opposite to his normally cheerful tone

you shivered and sighed

‘senpai, please dont-’

‘who is it?’

the other third years shared a look bc they were truly shook at oiks voice

‘w-why should i tell you?! its none-’

‘i am your captain and i deserve to know who is pulling you away from your managerial duties so he could just give you these damn hickeys!’

the gym turned silent

you stopped then furrowed your eyebrows

‘hickey? what-’

‘dont act like you dont know, y/n. so just be honest and tell me who’s your boyfriend’

lmao i shouldnt laugh bc this was supposed to be sad but im cackling at how dumb oikawa really is sometimes

‘i-i,,,,’

you stuttered but you knew this was the perfect opportunity

you could just blame it on this ridiculous misunderstanding

its a difficult hole to get out of but it would be easier than the other

so you pretended to be flustered and turned around to hide your face

‘it was a one-time thing, oikawa-san. i promise it wont happen again’

HELLO WHAT

the team was leaking the feeling of RAGE

how dare someone take their manager!

she was theirs!

and it doesnt help that every player might have a little thing for you

is this really turning into a harem

oikawa kept demanding answers but iwa hit him enough to quit and they finally went back to practicing but they were still distracted

every time they looked at you, they would grow flustered and red and end up missing a block or a serve

they just cant see their baby manager like that

you noticed it quickly and irritably got on them

‘stop staring at my neck and get back to practice!’

they flinched and saluted at you

lmao this little first year girl is able to control nearly a dozen <5′10 men who are all older than her

but you were glad that they finally stopped asking about it

this was going to go by smoothly and you were going to be okay

however,,,

several days later,,,

this is an angst fanfiction so i will bring thy angst

you were taking out your class garbage since it was your group’s turn in cleaning the classroom when you were grabbed by the arm on your way back

it was still outside and after school so it wouldve been an unlikely situation that someone would help you

it was that biatch miyo again and her 2 minions behind her

then you recognized one girl from the track team who was actually a year older than you but you saw her dropping off some files in the office

if you tried to run, she could easily grab you w her fast legs

great

you were stuck

you let out a tired sigh and crossed your arms on your chest

‘what is it you want from me, again?’

she smirked

‘you really dont know how to listen, do you? i told you to stay away from oikawa but youre still flaunting around with him!’

is she serious?

this girl was borderline stalker/yandere type of girl

you gave her an incredulous look and frowned

‘girl, do you hear yourself? you damn crazy and im leaving’

but she grabbed you back and shoved you against the wall

but this time, you kicked her on the chest to make her fall on her flat booty

surprise was written on their faces and you stretched your arms in front of you to symbolize distance

‘one more step and ill beat tf out of you. i just got my nails off so id watch it if i were you’

miyo huffed and stood up, brushing herself, glaring at one of the girls who tried to help her

then she remembered what you told her

‘hmm? if you hit me, you could be kicked off of the team since you hurt another student. so, go ahead, little kouhai’

she was right

even if it was self-defense, the school’s disciplinary section sucked and just suspended or kicked off people left and right even though they didnt do anything wrong

you were stumped

you were here on a scholarship, not on tuition

your mom would KILL you if she found out you got into a fight and got a record

but you didnt show that and kept your tough facade

‘dont challenge me. i could be a crazy bitch and i dont think youd like your little face being all messed up. so watch your mouth and leave me alone’

you turned to leave but she grabbed your hair and tugged it back

lmao flashbacks to the other part

she twisted your hair into a ponytail and had a firm grip while a girl kicked you behind your knees so you would fall to the ground

oh no you were done w this

you elbowed miyo on the stomach the hardest you could and she groaned which loosened her hold and you kicked her again to the ground

some other girl hit your side and you winced before slapping her straight across the face bc you didnt want to punch her and hurt your knuckles

but they were really testing you

the last girl still had your hair but you twisted around to face her and just did the last you could think of that would hurt

hit her right between her legs

you finally escaped their hold and miyo lunged after you

‘oh my god leave me alone!’

you yelled before holding up your arms to protect your face but she scratched your arms

obviously you were losing this bc it was just you but you were going to fight as much as you can

‘bad kouhais need to be punished! your senpais need to teach you a lesson!’

miyo screeched and you grabbed her arm before punching her straight at the boob

sorry rebecca

however, one girl was smart and did the same thing you did to her knees and made you fall to a kneeling position and eventually made you curl into a fetal position

gurl we actually fighting so hard considering we’ve never been in a fight

they continuously kicked you before miyo pulled up your head so you could sit up and kneel in front of her

ofc you tried to grab at her and punch at her

but these other girls were able to catch you and trap your arms in their hold and had their feet on your legs so you couldnt kick

great, another bathroom scene

your arms were bleeding from miyo’s scratches and your sides were hurting after their kicks

you lost and you were already bleeding in places you didnt think you would

this would be the last attempt and if he doesnt come, you’re done for

‘IIIIIIWWWWWAAAAAAAA-SAAAAAANNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!’

your scream echoed throughout the entire are

possibly could be heard in new york

and your voice became hoarse

ofc the girls were surprised and caught off guard but when there was silence and clear that no one was coming, they started laughing

‘oh, so cute! iwa-san? is that supposed to be iwaizumi-san? heh, you whoring around w him too? thats so cute-’

‘LET. GO. OF. HER. NOW.’

I GOT CHILLS

the girls holding you shrieked and dropped their hold on you before scrambling back causing you to drop to the ground

miyo’s eyes were wide and there was horror all over her face at the voice of that infamous boy

kyotani kentarou

‘WHAT THE FK ARE YOU DOING?!’

he yelled and miyo turned around to be met with his piercing eyes before screaming and running away with her minions in tow

‘YEA RUN AWAY! FKING COWARDS!’

ltr the cursing is so awkward for me to do but this is his character and im just so awkward so sorry!!

you coughed and winced at the pain on your side which caught his attention

again, he noticed you as the manager of their team and you’ve been hanging out w him, well, just him staring at you, at the alley while you feed the animals

you were actually nice and caring and definitely didnt deserve this

‘oi, y-you okay?’

you didnt look up, just closing your eyes in pain and biting your lips to not let out the crying

his eyes softened at you and he noticed you were trying to act tough and brave even though you just got beat up

normally, he wouldnt even help anyone but it seems you just did something to him

he sighed before gently picking you up, you not even bothering to stop him, and he held you tightlyin his arms as he carried you to the nurses office

he had a feeling you didnt want to be seen like this and hes been in the nurse enough to know she actually leaves the moment school ends

you let out a shaky breath as he set you down on the cot and you opened your eyes to reach your hold for him when he went away

‘n-no, don’t leave-’

but he grunted softly before holding your wrist

‘im just getting your damn medicine. chill out’

lowkey getting bakugou vibes

you nodded and went to close your eyes again

kyo returned w some pain relief medicine from his bag that he carries

babie actually gets into fights often and he needs it sometimes

and he had alcohol medicine kind istg and bandaids for your arms

it was silent as you drank the pills and he sat down next to you so he could treat the wounds

but he let his curiosity take over him

‘why the fk did you let them do this to you’

he grunted and you scoffed with a smile

‘let? more like overpower me and grip me as they just hit me’

‘cant you fight them back?’

you glared at him

‘bruh i literally kneed some girl in their cooch but they just some superhuman typa girls that cant be hurt’

he sighed

‘maybe you just werent strong enough’

okay listen here you lil shit

you didnt want to listen to him scold you anymore so you just went back to closing your eyes

but kyo is actually lowkey nosy so he kept asking questions

‘the first time we met. was it her too?’

you flinched in surprise

‘you remembered that?’

‘ofc i did. you looked like shit. not as bad as this but still like shit’

‘gee thanks, stranger-kun’

‘kyotani,,, kentarou’

you smiled

‘nice to meet you, kyotani kentarou. im l/n y/n’

‘i know’

he mumbled but you didnt catch it

‘thanks for hearing me and coming to help’

he hummed

he wasnt going to tell you that he actually heard the scream for his idol and thought hed be there so he ran to go see him but instead saw you

kyo just respects and looks up to iwa-chan so much it warms my heart uwu-

once you were all patched up, you were finally able to stand but you still staggered

he grabbed your arm softly and sat you back down

‘what the hell are you going to tell the team?’

you paused then sighed

‘i dont know. ill figure something out’

but he knew how observant the players would be and they would catch on

after all, he was there watching at the top bleachers as oikawa yelled at you for the ‘hickey’

‘if they didnt hit your face, you could get away with it. but you have wounds all over you and theyd find out. im guessing youre doing this bc you dont want to trouble them or burden them? bc they would do something about it?’

you just stared at this guy

‘how-’

‘just a guess’

he also wasnt going to tell you that he was actually part of the team but the constant fighting got him in suspension

and the fact that his parents were donors for the school, he only got a tap on the wrist

‘so what do i do, then?’

‘tell them-’

‘no i cant do that! another plan, kyo-kun!’

‘oi, im a second year, idiot. treat me with respect’

the irony bc he totally treats oikawa like trash

‘i just,,,, oikawa-san is seen as this prince/gentleman type and i know how protective he is towards me so the slightest problem could cause him to be ballistic. miyo is popular enough to circulate rumors about him and hes already in his third year and she is too so i just have to endure one year until theyre gone’

kyo was disgusted

all this for that stupid idiot captain?

‘youre dumber than i thought’

you weakly hit him at the arm

‘so mean, kyo-san’

‘i dont think its right youre suffering for someone who isnt even worth it’

you glared and linked your fingers together

‘im the manager. i knew this would happen the moment i signed up but i didnt care. as manager, i have to keep up the team’s image and their popularity for support so i cant let all that be ruined just bc a little first year girl couldnt fight for herself’

‘just tell them, kid. less problems’

then he stood up to leave

‘kid?! im only a year younger than you! what you mean!’

but you were panicking

someone knew about you being hurt and they could easily tell the team

and it only increased when he entered the gym and later introduced himself as a player

you were so surprised that you stopped breathing

‘kyo-san,,,’

you muttered and he glared at you

well, more like look at you but i have a theory that kyo actually has problems w his sight so it looks like he’s glaring at you constantly but hes just actually trying to see clearly

‘yo’

oikawa was surprised at this interaction

‘eh? you know kyoken-chan?’

you nodded, still looking at the blonde

‘i-uh’

‘its none of your business’

kyotani grunted and you sighed in relief

maybe your secret would be safe

you were still uneasy about him accidentally revealing it, especially since he practically worships iwaizumi-san, but he kept his mouth shut

your caring personality at first was overbearing on him but he appreciated your efforts like volunteering on helping him with his eyeliner or asking him if he needed help with his medical tape

ngl, he also thought you were there just bc it was a team full of guys and you thought you could have that weird girl fantasy of having a harem

but you cared for them like practically a mother and continuously made it clear to oikawa that you were NOT interested in going on a date with him

you werent annoying, you were nice, and you weren’t pushy so he actually showed you respect and took a liking to you

this created a soft of protectiveness around you

sometimes, he would see you around school and he would practically glare at the girls he knew hated you

and when he wasnt there to protect you, you would call him to the nurses office where he would mumble apologies of not being there while patching you up before he would go over and threaten them to touch you again and he would bite their fingers off

aww hes so cute

ofc he still kept your secret bc it wasnt his business to tell

until that one day

it was normal practice with you helping the boys toss the balls so they could spike it

iwaizumi spiked it really hard making you flinch and he apologized profusely after you almost fell off the chair you were standing on in surprise

‘im just angry that that damn shittykawa is the captain and is late to his own damn practice’

oikawa? late?

that was unheard of

you were about to get off the chair and look for him when the devil himself entered the gym with the devil’s mistress on his arm

miyo was holding on to his arm as he laughed at something she said and ruffled her hair

you dropped the ball and kyotani quickly moved to you so he could stand in front of you protectively

‘oi! shittykawa! youre late!’

oikawa just smiled and pointed at the girl

‘miyo-chan made us cookies, iwa-chan!’

at the mention of food, the boys ran forward but you and kyotani remained at the side at the infamous name

you got off the chair and hurriedly placed an arm in front of him

‘don’t, kyo-san’

‘the bitch-’

‘i know. but please, dont’

you begged and he huffed before aggresively wrapping an arm around your shoulder

aggressively cares for you

‘if she does something or even talks shit, i will-’

‘kyoken-chan! y/n-chan! come here!’

oikawa called but kyotani snarled at him

you smile wobbled when miyo’s eyes narrowed at you and she smirked

‘oh? your manager is so cute, oikawa-kun!’

the rest of the team was just blinking at this weird tension

kyo had his arm tightly around you and hatingly glaring at this girl, who was icily smirking at you, and you tightly holding kyo’s shirt with a worried glint in your eyes

‘you were late to your own damn practice, oikawa. stop wasting time eating this shit and go back to playing’

tbh it still shocks you at how rudely kyo talks to oikawa but you were too pre-occupied on making sure this kid wasnt going to lunge at this girl

‘a-ah, right. oikawa-san, we have to return to practice. if you excuse us, miyo-san-’

you were about to gently grab oikawa’s arm to bring him back when she grabbed your wrist and secretly gripped it

‘oh, dont be so uptight, y/n-chan! i worked so hard-’

but kyo immediately snatched her hand away from you and squeezed it as tight as he could, making her wince

oikawa noticed the pain in miyo’s face and he was angry that kyotani was hurting a girl

‘oi! kyotani!’

he shouted and pushed him away, making the team, even iwa, worriedly look at kyo and brace themselves for the beating

iwa jumped into action and held the second year back while you jumped in front of oikawa

‘kyo-san, calm-’

‘you! be quiet’

he shouted, finger pointing at you

‘and you!’

before pointing to oikawa

‘you are a shitty captain’

‘kyotani!’

iwa was just straight out confused and hes really questioning life decisions right now

mom is stressed and confused, i repeat, MOM IS STRESSED AND CONFUSED

oikawa’s eyes narrowed but he just calmly talked

‘we’ll talk about this later’

‘miyo-san, we really need to practice so if you could see yourself out’

iwa gently smiled to the girl, who was about to protest, but makki and mattsun has already pointed to the door

she huffed then turned to leave and once she was gone, iwa let go of kyotani

‘kyotani, what the hell was that’

oikawa lowly asked and you were about to put your arms out to separate them but yahaba and watari grabbed you so you wouldnt be caught in the middle

then kyo turned to you, fire in his eyes

‘either you tell him or i will’

can we just talk about how protective kyo is?

you trembled and you roughly left yahaba and watari’s grip so you could gently place your hands on his chest

‘please, kyo. just leave it, okay? remember, it’s my busi-’

‘if i see that bitch enter this gym again, i dont give a flying fuck if shes a girl. ill beat the living daylights out of her’

‘kyotani kentarou, what-!’

oikawa shouted but your glare shut him up

‘y/n-chan, what is going on’

‘n-nothing. kyo-san is just, yknow, being him. you know? okay. now lets get back to practice, everyone!’

coach irihata and the other guy sharing that look

to say the least, miyo was pissed

and when she was pissed at you, she always did what she normally does

she corners you wherever its deserted and beat you with the help of her minions who holds you down while she slaps, hits, or kicks you

girlie you needs to tell the boys youre literally getting hit and abused and im just-!!!!!!!!!

and thats exactly what she did

only this time, she wore hard-tipped shoes

‘see, y/n-chan? i saved up and got these shoes just for you!’

the minions were just sharing looks of fear and genuine sympathy for you

they were only there bc she blackmailed them with pictures doing questionable things and if they dont help, they would be released

as usual, you didnt cry, biting your lip as you winced from the pain of her kick at your side

‘youre so pathetic. how could you do this to a person? and all this for your oikawa-san? for a boy?’

you wheezed at her causing her eyes to flare

‘HAH?! SAY THAT AGAIN!’

‘i said-’

but you were cut off when she slapped the soul out of you

her ring cut you at the lip and you cringed at the taste of blood from your lip

‘what else? we gotta hurry this up, miyo, because practice started like 5 minutes ago and im going to get yel-’

‘SHUT UP!’

kyotani entered the gym after his talk with his teacher and immediately looked around for you

his honey brown eyes scanned the area and they widened as your figure wasn’t in sight

‘oi, yahaba, wheres the manager’

the boy shrugged from the side

‘i dont know. shes late though’

oh god

‘kindaichi! kunimi! youre in the same grade right? did you see where she went after class?’

kunimi paused to remember before answering

‘she stayed after to talk to obe-sensei for the homework, that’s all i know’

that meant she stayed behind and was probably somewhere

‘SHIT!’

he shouted before bolting out the door

ofc the boys were all worried of his outburst and started yelling after him

‘kyotani!’

‘kyoken-chan?!’

they followed him, who was running as fast as he can

the girls would probably do it outside to avoid having to clean up their mess and he almost wrenched the door open in a hurry to take a lap around the school building

it was certainly a sight to see: a boy with dyed blonde hair and two brown lines followed after an entire volleyball team who were screaming after him

‘YOU-!’

he heard that bitch voice and bolted towards the back, where the dumpster was, and found you at the same position like the first time he saw you

blood was dripping on the floor from your busted lip and a cut on your cheek while your eyes were wide at the sight of kyotani’s panting form

‘kyo-!’

‘kyotani!’

your eyes watered at the sight of the entire volleyball team behind him, also eviqualiently surprised yet fuming angry

the girls who held you dropped your arms and ran for the hills so they wouldnt get caught

kyo pushed miyo aside as he grabbed you from the floor and held you

oikawa gave miyo a look that cannot even be described in words

all it was: incredibly, super, ridiculously, heatedly, furiously, angry

now multiply that by the entire team

‘hm, my father, who is the chieftain of the police, mentioned about there being jail time for even minors who commit serious acts like assault or bullying’

mattsun seethed

‘really? i think he’d like the video as evidence against kenta miyo for assault and battery, including bullying, so how many years would that add up to? nearly a decade?’

the girl miyo squeaked as oikawa and iwaizumi roughly grabbed each wrist

‘how long’

miyo trembled at the increased pressure on her wrist

‘IM ASKING YOU A FUCKING QUESTION! HOW LONG!’

iwaizumi has never shouted at a girl before and hopefully, it would be the last

‘s-s-since l-last month’

you burrowed your head in kyotani’s shirt

‘please dont’

‘shut the fk up, y/n-chan, we’re not talking to you right now’

oikawa coldly reprimanded

‘everyone, take y/n away. iwaizumi and i can take care of this. but mattsun, makki, track down those 3 girls and find others who have even touched our manager’

‘got it, boss’

if it was in a different situation, you wouldve applauded oikawa at his ability to be a leader but you were currently in pain from the bruises and the cuts all over you

your fellow first-years were angrily punching things in the nurse’s office

rip nurse in the morning when she finds holes all over her walls

the irony is, the most agressive one, kyotani kentarou, was the calmest as he quietly cleaned your wounds and placed ointment on the bruises

‘i told you so’

he mumbled and you scoffed

‘howd you find me anyways?’

‘dumb bitch yaps really loud’

he answered

no one was yelling at you and no one was saying a word

eventually, oikawa and iwaizumi entered followed by the rest of the third years

‘why. why didnt you tell us, y/n?’

oikawa asked as he sat down on the chair beside the bed

you looked down and fiddled with your fingers

‘if i did, you wouldve hurt her. and she wouldve spread rumors about you and ruin the image and reputation of the grand king and the volleyball team. i didnt want to do that to you and thought i could just endure it one year since youre graduating anyways’

iwaizumi sucked in a harsh breath

‘you wouldn’t have known what we were going to do. you are no oracle and you dont know how we are going to handle this situation. so you were really stupid for keeping these things to yourself, y/n. you may be our manager and our caretaker but let us take care of you too’

you nodded but your tears fell

‘sorry. im really sorry. i didnt meant to trouble you’

‘stop apologizing, y/n’

‘sorry’

‘y/n!’

you bowed your head low and bit your lip in guilt

‘i shouldve told you but i didnt and now everyone is troubled-’

‘we’re a team, y/n. youre not a lone wolf anymore. you have a pack standing right beside you’

watari mumbled and he sat down to give you his favorite hug: the one arm hug

‘im super angry right now and it might seem like im snappy but i really want you to know, y/n, that i really love you and i am just hurt that you didnt trust us enough to tell us you were suffering when i trust you with my entire being. so next time youre hurting or in pain, dont you dare keep it to yourself. tell us, okay? tell your senpais and friends about it so we can share that burden’

oikawa babie you are so mature like what-

what started out as a hug from watari turned into a team hug around the tiny bed, even kyo joined, and you were so happy you found a good team that appreciated you and everything youve done and accepted you as one of their own

‘oikawa-san, what did you do to miyo?’

‘again, im mad y/n-chan, so please dont talk about her right now’

‘iwa-san?’

‘dont use those puppy eyes on me! dont you dare-- okay, we’re pressing charges’

silence

‘WHAT?!’

‘and iwa-chan slapped her!’

‘WHAT?!’

‘shut up shittykawa you did too!’

‘WHAT?!’

a/n: this hurted a bit and im sorry if this was lowkey awkward and all over the place but i didnt exactly know how to portray this situation since ive never experienced this, just bullying in general, before but for those who have, please tell someone so that you dont have to carry that burden by yourself. it doesnt have to be a your parents, but talk to a trusted adult so that this type of stuff doesnt happen to you bc you truly dont deserve that type of treatment and deserve to be happy and feel safe in an environment like school or anywhere in general
