Mail Call #3

Answering comments from @void-the-bear @railway-lands @keabirb @ilikebookssomuch @chezgorman @cartoons-everywhere @dragonra305

Please don't hurt me. I have glasses.

Thank you, to all of you. It makes me genuinely happy to know that I'm able to put something into this world that other people can enjoy. I think this is a great setting that is fun to add to.

Doing a Wings of Fire-themed run of this Smaugust challenge has been very interesting and it's good that the result appears to be well-received. It's not always been easy, I'm actually getting quite exhausted having to post content on a strict schedule like this. But it is worth doing if it makes people happy.

Relating to my comment on this post. I probably will do it eventually, along with some other ideas I had that didn't fit in. But it won't happen while Smaugust is still going, as I am already skirting the limits of what I am physically capable of right now.

Ahh... hm... This is the question that has toppled mountains and started wars. You're going to get hit squads sent after me.

Well, there is the big one, of course. Qibli/Winter. They have such wonderful chemistry whenever they are in a scene together (with one pretty upsetting exception). And Qibli is always teasing him about being his destiny and the two of them getting married, so I think there is some attraction there.

Then uh... I used to feel completely ambivalent about this one, but Starflight/Fatespeaker has really grown on me over time. There's a lot of interesting potential there that doesn't really make it into the story. I need to make a long-winded post about Fatespeaker one day.

Blaze/Glacier is another one that could be cute. I think putting a repressed Icewing together with a highly eccentric and rambunctious Sandwing is going to be a winning combination most of the time. Or well, I guess I should say "could have been cute", since Glacier had to die for the plot, in a very wretched and infuriating way too.

There are a couple more that I think have their moments or could be interesting in one way or another. Some of them even contradicting or overlapping each other. Listing all of them would probably be a bit excessive.

Oh yeah, and I think Sunny is ace.

Ah, a question that'll make me put someone else's favorite character at the bottom of a preference list... After the shipping question I'm starting to fear for my life now.

Let me preface this by clarifying that I generally like all of the DoD. There are some characters in this setting that I loathe and wish they would exit the story, and the arc 1 protagonists are nowhere near that. So being ranked low here translates to me saying "Yeah, they're okay, room for improvement", not "wow, they're the WORST!"

Okay whatever, let's get down to it.

#1 - Sunny

That one's easy, I mean, just look at the pinned post on this blog.

Sunny is so wonderful and charming and perfect in every conceivable way, she is one of my six all-time favorite characters. She is the flower that blooms in the bitter desert. A lot of people may perceive her as this demure and innocent character who is always happy and friendly, and oblivious to the suffering around her. Nah, Sunny knows exactly what is going on. She is keenly aware of all the bloodshed, suffering, and toxicity that unfolds in the world around her. When she remains optimistic and forgiving in the face of darkness, that is not her being meek or passive, it's her steadfastly refusing to let that darkness into herself. She is actively embodying the change she wants to see in the world, even when it hurts her or gets her taken advantage of, because that is what she believes in and the future she will create.

That's pretty inspiring. I wish I had that kind of inner strength.

Also, she is not weak. While she's not a powerhouse scrapper like Tsunami or an invincible stack of bricks like Clay, Sunny strikes quickly and without hesitation when her friends are in danger, and can be deviously clever. This is often overlooked, but she is--to my knowledge--the only character to land an attack on Morrowseer that comes close to actually hurting him.

Well... you got me rambling about Sunny. Let's go through the others more briskly.

#2 - Starflight

I like Starflight a lot. Unfortunately the story really doesn't. He is like, the unluckiest character by far. I don't know what he did to deserve the never-ending cavalcade of misfortune that gets shoveled in his direction throughout all three arcs. Like, it never ends. A couple of friends and I came together and we jokingly called our group the "Starflight Protection Foundation", because someone needs to stage an intervention. Like, wrap him in a cozy sweater and buy him hot chocolate or something. Heaven help this poor man.

He's another one of my favorites.

#3 - Glory

Glory is really cool; I vibe with the "unchosen hero spurned by destiny" theme. She goes through her life and is constantly told "No, you don't have a special destiny. You're the fifth wheel. You are worthless and unimportant". Though she struggles with the constant abuse and devaluation, she eventually finds a way to turn it into strength and declare that the only value that matters is the one she gives to herself.

I really wish the story had NOT made her turn out to be a secret princess. "I was born without destiny, so I'm making my own" is a so much more satisfying character trajectory than "Oh, don't worry. You were born special after all, you just didn't know about it".

So yeah, I kind of tend to put that "secret princess" plot twist on the shelf when I think about Glory, and prefer to think that she managed to sway Grandeur with her skill and determination, rather than a random blood link.

#4 - Clay

Clay is very lovable. He is like the emotional bedrock of the group and acts as a stabilizing force that pairs well with all of the other arc 1 protagonists. He pretty much resolves all of his baggage in the first book and becomes content and steady. That is very good for him, but unfortunately this also kind of turns him into just some dude for the following four books.

Which is fine, it is good for the other characters to have someone behind them who loves them and helps them up when they stumble. It just makes it difficult for Clay to shine on his own.

#5 - Tsunami

Okay, so, Tsunami. I actually like her a lot in arc 1. She's bringing an interesting kind of energy to the group that is like, half-supportive and half-detrimental. Very chaotic. She also has to contend with some heavy stuff; everything to do with her father and the complications in her family life. It's very interesting. Lots of places to go with that.

Arc 2 Tsunami though, really grinds my gears. She regresses into this kind of juvenile, immature personality that is just pointlessly abrasive and confrontational. She acts really condescendingly towards Peril-- despite the latter having saved Clay's life AND it being really important to Clay that her staying at JMA works out well. Her borderline sabotaging this effort by making Peril feel unwelcome seems very dismissive towards Clay's feelings. It also doesn't help that she is the most outspoken about her loathing of Nightwing mindreading and prophecies, which drives Moonwatcher further into her emotional shell and makes things more complicated.

Okay, I have to reiterate: I don't dislike Tsunami. I just think her character arc is incomplete. It feels like she is stuck in arrested development while at JMA. She's mostly running around yelling at people, when she really should be thinking about what to do about Queen Coral, and how to get custody of her siblings. Her sister Anemone is carrying emotional scars from how the Queen has kept her leashed like a dog for her entire life, a process that is now happening to Auklet, even to this day. And then there's the 30 something children who have never known parental love for a day in their life and their mother can't remember the names of.

Someone's gotta step in and save these kids. Or like, at least start vaguely thinking about it.

Turtle???

Hmm....

...

Moose!

overview.

do you know where your children are? . . . the 2010’s aren’t the point in time of the relevancy of this advertisement ( 1960s ), and no one then really listens to the radio anyway, but it’s just as well; katrina hopley wouldn’t have known the answer even if she had held her head up long enough to hear it. and james i? the baby daddy of her first and her second kid? yeah, split before the little one was even fuckin’ old enough to be able to hold a memory. james ii, five years older than mikey, makes it his job to know the answer to that question for all of them after their mom drops the ball for the last time and leaves mikey to walk home three miles by herself after school when she’s just eight and he’s just thirteen. it’s because of his devotion to keeping them both afloat that she was cared for at all, and it’s for this reason that james vanishing eighteen months ago all but destroyed her.  even though her mother walked out when she was fifteen and even though that introduced a grief of it’s own kind into her life, she was still well looked after; and really, the absence of them didn’t change much when he was more her parent than either of theirs ever had been. she was loved by the person that mattered the most to her and that was enough. love is leaking all over the house she grew up in ( it suffocates her ), in the form of pictures on the wall that her brother cared to put up of the two of them and in all of the furniture he either bought with his own money or fixed with his own hands. in the way he used to set the table for her, even on days where she didn’t think to call home and let him know she’d be late, leaving him to worry ( and they were frequent. god, were they frequent ) — she regrets those types of things the most in his absence, and she hasn’t moved that last plate he’d left in her spot. never ate the food he saved, either. that had to go about a week after the departure. the seaside’s lonely when it’s a singular pair of boots tracking in sand and especially when she can’t hear james laughing down the hallway at a rerun of golden girls that he’s seen no less than eighty times.  mikey does things now without much direction, without much purpose — and they can blame that all day on the fact that they lost their north star, but the truth is that they were born aimless ( the way we all are ) and then never found something to make their reason. reason to work hard, reason to try at anything. they’re unregulated and unpredictable on their worst days, devastatingly charismatic and sweet on their best, and generally fumbling through life with almost an impressive level of mediocrity on every day in-between.

< Hi, I’m Hachiko. I know we haven’t met, but I saw your posts about HOWL and her new body. I don’t know HOWL, so I’m not sure I can help, but I’m also a military NHP with a canine self-representation. Since that’s an almost unbelievably specific set of things to have in common with her, I sort of feel like I should throw my hat in the ring. 

First, canine subaltern? Wow. Jealous. I’d be losing my shit, too. You absolutely made HOWL happy. I’m canine in terms of virtual representation, and having access to a physical body which matched up with that would be awesome. 

Actually, uh, I…not to get emotional, that’s just really, really sweet of you to do that for her. 

My advice? If you can, give HOWL an open field and let her do her thing for as long as you can. I know that might not be practical if you’re aboard a ship, station, or other confined environment, but that might be part of the fix. I’d want to climb, run, test the physical limitations of the chassis. There’s a certain satisfaction involved when one of us gets to interact with actual physics as opposed to a computer simulation. Imperfections, unanticipated feedback, inability to just receive total environmental awareness on command—it’s a richer experience. More fun.

And, speaking as a military NHP—the part about conveying that she isn’t expected to fight at the moment might end up being a matter of time and ensuring that she doesn’t perceive anything in the environment as a threat. I know that’s not exactly a simple task, but it’s the best I can think of. Some of us need to partition off our dominant personalities, either partially or totally, when we’re deployed in an active combat role. It’s like choosing to become someone else for a while, then choosing to go back to being yourself once it’s safe to do so. The memories are compartmentalized when you come back, kind of a mental insulation. But, given that her shackles are non-standard in design, that kind of partitioning might not be available to her.  I don’t know what her past looks like, but it could be a holdover from previous deployments.

Another thing, does HOWL speak? Not all of us care for linguistic communication, so that might be a barrier. Words do have their limits, after all. If it isn’t too personal a question: how did her pilot communicate with her?

Hopefully this is helpful, and you don’t get chewed up much more. You clearly care a great deal about her. >

(ooc: hey! Not to get too heavy with this, sorry, but this resonated with the character a bit.)

+ Hello, Hachiko!

+ Consider me grateful that we've met when we have, and thankful that you reached out. I've felt incredibly alone throughout this whole ordeal, and to have someone tell me that I'm doing right by HOWL- it means a lot. Really. I doubt that I would find better insight than yours, the similarities between you and HOWL are a pleasant surprise; I'm not sure if this offer means much, but, if you're jealous of the subaltern design, I could scan and upload the printer files for you. I based the chassis itself on an old model donated to me by ACS, then adapted features from frames such as the Metalmark and Enkidu, and an array of visual data regarding Cradle's dogs. Though I'm still working out some kinks, such as the movement of the spine when transitioning between a trot and all-out sprinting, the synthetic musculature may be my best work yet; I imagine it would be a liberating body to inhabit.

+ That brings me to the subject of your advice; Following what you suggested, I took HOWL to Detachment 148's primary hangar— the largest open space on our station— and let her loose. She ran like I've never seen before, stretching, rolling, bounding off of surfaces, climbing onto others. HOWL doesn't generally emote— it's not something she's really capable of, besides the more overt or "instinctual" responses to things like threats— but, I don't know, she seemed... happy. Happier, at least.

+ After that, the aggression stopped entirely. In fact, she's begun to follow me wherever I go, as though curious about the station, or as though she was guarding me? I think it's both. When I leave a room, she bounds or trots after me, silent yet animated. When I stop to work, eat, etcetera, she just... paces. Nonstop pacing, restless, and though I can't read her expression— or lack thereof— I think she's waiting for something.

+ HOWL can verbalize. She's actually incredibly articulate, she speaks a bit like a philosopher when she's comfortable. Big words, thoughtful, introspective dialogue. Some of the conversations she and Kennedy— her old handler— would have would go completely over my head. Now, however, she refuses to speak to me. I don't think she's comfortable enough. I think there's a lot she has left to figure out.

+ In fact— I don't think that she knows that- that Kennedy isn't coming back.

[sebadztian]

So, uh, I'm sure that this must've been brought up before, but I don't know where to find the text.

I think, UT's final goal is to stuff o!Ciel's soul into r!Ciel's body.

At this point of time, we can safely assume that this Bizarre Dolls (BD) project has been going on for quite a number of years.

UT has salvaged r!Ciel's body from the fire three years ago, so he must've known then what he wanted to do with it.

Let's review the progression of the BD...

In the Campania arc, they were nothing but mindless zombie who craves brain soul.

But in the flashback, we were shown that r!Ciel was also on-board and he looked much more... advanced than those zombie-like creature. So, I think those zombies were created specially for the purpose of military experiment on unstoppable army, just like what he's told o!Ciel, Seb, Grell, and Ron.

Then there were Agares, Arden, and the other students in Public School arc (which will air next April! 😁). They were all BDs, but they were at different stages. Agares, clumsy as he was, has managed to perform day-to-day tasks, including leading several school ceremonies. I wonder why UT has made the others the way they were. If he'd made them like Agares, then the Queen wouldn't have been suspicious and she wouldn't have sent o!Ciel there.

(but then we wouldn't get to see Professor Michaelis, so I'm glad that UT has done it this way)

Back to the point...

During Bard's mini-arc, we learned that the BD has evolved even further than we thought. Layla has two souls stuffed inside one body. I don't know if "Al" has always been a part of her or if the other soul/personality had been stuffed into her body when she was 'revived', but this shows that it is possible to have two souls/'person' in one body.

Which brings me back to my initial point, about the twins.

UT has said it himself that he doesn't want to lose another Phantomhive. I don't know what his relationship is with the family, and I won't talk about that in this post. What I want to talk about is why he's salvaged r!Ciel's body and why it has to be done this way.

I mean, if you think about it, he could've just focused on protecting o!Ciel. He's shown that he's more than capable to match Seb in combat, or even defeat the demon. He could've just 'rescue' o!Ciel from Sebastian and be done with it. But why must he use r!Ciel's body?

It's about preservation.

He said that he's aged r!Ciel's body to match o!Ciel. It implies that he can also stop the ageing process, which, if you want to preserve a life, it would be the best way to go about it because a human body will eventually fail itself when it gets old & frail enough.

But a BD is different. They're strong, they can be aged when needed, or kept at their current age. If r!Ciel's physical form continues to be grown and aged until it reaches young adulthood and then UT stopped the ageing process, then potentially, that body could be immortal.

But it's still missing one key ingredient, the soul.

Now, I write this under the assumption that Seb has consumed r!Ciel's soul. Which makes this BD soulless.

This is where o!Ciel comes in. He still has his soul, so by combining the two (r!Ciel's body & o!Ciel's soul, UT can create a 'whole' person, strong & immortal).

But what if Sebastian has lied and he hasn't actually consumed r!Ciel's soul? Then that's when Layla situation would happen, that there would be two souls inside r!Ciel's body.

But Badz, why not just make o!Ciel a BD?

If some of you read my coffin post from months ago, I talked about how UT has prepared a special coffin for o!Ciel, one that he might use to preserve o!Ciel's body. So, why doesn't he just take him from Sebastian and keep him?

Because if r!Ciel's BD ever failed or stopped working, then UT would need a spare body to stuff the soul into.

At their current state, BD is still imperfect and he needs more time to work on r!Ciel's body and how to create the perfect BD. If he took o!Ciel prematurely, both bodies might fail him and he wouldn't have any Phantomhive left to work on.

UT has never been shy to express his dislike of the queen and what she's making o!Ciel do, what kind of danger she has put him in.

Which is another reason why he hasn't really tried to take the boy from Sebastian. Or to kill the demon.

What he didn't say was "... until the day that I'd take him from you."

He knows that as long as o!Ciel has Sebastian by his side, the boy will be safe because Sebastian is contractually bound to protect him. He actually trusts a demon to keep o!Ciel's soul safe because he knows of a demon's nature, how protective they could be of their 'meals'.

This is just my own take on UT and his end goal. Think of it as a headcanon or something like that. This is based on my own assumption.

At this point, all of us are in the dark of what could've been his motive. I'm just trying to have some fun while reading the manga, so please don't come to my post and attack me if you disagree with me.

Thank you!

[slashingdisneypasta]

which Disney villains do you think realistically would make the best romantic partners and which ones would be the worst? In your opinion, I would love to know!

Hmmm in my opinion?? 😅 Okay lemme see XD

I think they all have their pros and cons, of course, and it all really depends on what you're willing to put up with (Your girl trynna make a coat outta puppies? Your man having rage issues? Bugs??) but these are the best (By Disney Villain standards at least! 😅 I don't really think any of these relationships would be truly healthy in real life)- and worst. Or at least my thoughts 😅

Best of the Worst:

Red font is like 'the best of the best of the worst'. Like, the ones that I genuinely think would be pretty okay and are the safest bets.

Alameda Slim- So long as you met him in a typical forum (Maybe in town grocery shopping, or mailing a letter), I feel like he would keep his cattle rustlin' business separate from his married life completely and treat you sweet <3 I don't think he gets angry in his regular life, just when it comes to his Crime Counterpart. Honestly, I don't think he'd ever even tell you about the, uh, hobby.

Captain Hook- He would be constantly struggling between 1. Being a good Husband, and 2. Being a good Pirate. And these things do not really cooperate with each other 😅 But hey at least he's trying!! And by villain standards I think that's pretty good XD

Dr Facilier- You know he would treat his partner with the deepest respect and always be charming. Of course, he's also full of bitterness and an ache for revenge, and messes around with things that should not be messed with, and that can all effect you- but just... just try to stay away from him when he's in Villain Mode 😅

Hades- Its not there anymore but yearsss ago, on Hades' wiki page, it said that he is one of the few Disney Villains who is not clinically insane (Sure, he has serious rage issues- but he's not mad) and that has stuck with me. I think that garners him major points XD

Long John Silver!!!!!- Long John Silver long john Silver l o n g j o h n s i l v e r. Ha 😅 Similar to our shadow man, he is consumed by his own demons (Here they are greed and... mostly greed), but he would do his damn best to treat you well.

Queen Narissa: Okay so we don't know her very well and she DOES seem to be quite manipulative towards Nathanial... But listen she doesn't like him!! I'm sorry 😅☠ I think if she liked you then she would be capable of treating you a lot better.

Rourke: Sure, he's got a divorce against his name already- but next to huge misogynists, psychopaths and power-obsessed lunatics I think its a strike that can be overlooked 😅 Rourke is a villain who's villainy would be totally separate from his relationship. He may a bit distant sometimes but other then that he's just a regular hot old dude, to you. Unless you go on trips with him.

Shan Yu: I- I- I dunno why I have it in my head that Shan Yu would be such a good partner but I just do *hides*

Shere Khan: Another one who's able to keep his villainy/prejudices separate from his husband time ^^ <3 <3 Also takes your safety very very seriously.

Stabington Brothers: Like Hades I don't think they're crazy... just greedy (And maybe a lil economically struggling, which I get).

Worst of the Worst:

Here the red ones are the worst of the worst of the worst XD

Clayton: /:/: This one, I just... I mean, could YOU live him constantly talking himself up, and re-telling you stories of his conquests, and rarely listening to you?? Cuz that's what I envision when I see marrying Clayton. Also, you know, he's a bit smug & misogynistic.

Gaston: ... I don't really have to explain myself, do I? I for one do not wanna spend my evenings rubbing his stinky feet, that's for sure.

Frollo: 😑.

Jafar: Tell me this man wouldn't hypnotise you to get his way.

Mother Gothel: She would be so emotionally abusive and so manipulative. 0/10, do NOT reccomend-

Oogie Boogie: He would just be so physically and socially draining!! He is very high energy. You would need to be sporty and an extrovert to have a chance.

Percival C McLeach: Okay so this mainly because, as far as we know, McLeach has not been exposed to other people in a long while and he doesn't know how to treat them well (Nor does he seem to care). So being with him would mean some work, and I don't recommend being someone's bob the builder. Sure, Jane did it, but Percy is not Tarzan 😅

Queen of Hearts: Where Hades has a problem with anger but is sane... Red here has a problem with ager AND is insane. And that does not bode well...

Scar: Scar is one of the least stable in our line up... so as much as I like him, I do not like his chances at being a good husband.

Sykes:

Toon Patrol: It is in each of their names. They literally come with built in warning signs!! Greasy, Psycho, Smartass, Stupid, Wheezy. Some are definitely worse than others... but I wouldn't risk it with any of them 😅 (*cough* or maybe i would. what don't look at me)

Turbo / King Candy: If you marry him before King Candy then you're gonna lose the man you fell for, and if you fall for him afterwards then you're gonna eventually find out that he's a lie. Either way, seems ultimately unpleasant.

Some of them probably slipped my mind but these are my thoughts right now ^^ Let me know your own thoughts!

[purplesurveys]

1914

Name something you keep on the nightstand. The microfiber cloth for my glasses so I can clean mine as soon as needed.

What does a man brag about the most? I uh...don't know. I never hang with groups of dudes lol, and the ones I know don't really do a lot of bragging around me.

What's the most you've tipped your waiter or waitress. The highest I give is ₱500 and that's whenever I host a big party (10-15 pax). I leave ₱200 if I was very impressed by the service; otherwise my standard practice is at ₱100.

As a child, what frightened you the most? Cockroaches, because we had flying ones at home. The fear has carried over to this day because I still hate seeing them.

I also didn't like seeing anyone drunk because the men in my family who did never knew how to take care of themselves. It was horrifying watching them stumble and slur their words; physical altercations were the worst thing I had to witness. Among family. So imagine how pissed I felt when I tried alcohol for the first time and learned that drinking has a lot to do with just knowing how to control yourself.

Name a dish you take to a potluck. The ideal option would be pizza but that's what everybody brings, so my go-to has evolved to be Mama Lou's truffle mac and cheese. They're not what anyone would think to be their first choice, and yet everyone goes crazy over them. As a people pleaser, I always want to make sure it's my tray that makes their way to plates the most haha.

What's a popular vacation location? For Filipinos, definitely any of these: Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore. I've been to Singapore but have no interest in the other two.

Name a complaint people have about their job. That they are not paid enough for the life they need to sustain.

Name something you put off doing until the weekend. Taking our pets to the vet. The queues are always unpredictable, and the last thing I'd want to happen is to be 5th in line during my lunch break and be stuck on the road three minutes before a 1 PM call. So say if they were due on a Wednesday, I'd just take them that same weekend.

What's a common remedy for a cold? I just let it pass if it's only a cough or cold. Fever is a different story – I'm rarely sick, so when it happens it crashes hard on me. When I get a fever, I usually find myself asking for soup since it's the only thing I'll have the appetite for.

My mom also has this honey ginger tea that she makes me drink 1-2 glasses of. It's nasty, but I do it for her so it doesn't go to waste.

How many scoops of ice cream do you put on an ice cream cone? 2 max and that's pushing it. I'm a slow eater, so it's sure to melt. It's also why I've always preferred having ice cream from a bowl/cup.

Name a type of nut. If I'm having the nut itself, pistachio. In terms of flavor, almond or peanut.

Crutchie Morris Likes Taking Care of Himself

just some Crutchie

tw for slight transphobia, in my mind she doesn't mean it as hostile just confused

...

"Charlie!" A girl from science approached Crutchie as he was packing up to move on to his next class.

"Hi...?"

I've never seen this girl in my life-

"Amelia. I'm new." The girl was swaying from side to side, her skirt making a gentle swishing sound. Crutchie chose to focus on that instead of how this new girl knew his God-given name.

"Oh. Nice. Do you need directions or something?" To the point. Straight directly no detours to the point.

"Oh, no! Jessica's taking me to my classes! I was just wondering if you wanted help getting your stuff gathered up?"

Crutchie had to physically restrain himself from rolling his eyes. "No, I'm actually good. Thanks, though."

"Of course!" The bright-smiling girl walked off in the other direction, leaving Crutchie and his singular flimsy folder to pack up and leave.

...

"Hi Charlie!" Amelia. Again.

"Hi again."

Like, very again, Crutchie thought. Amelia had been making frequent appearances.

"How are you?"

"Fine. You?"

"I'm great!"

Crutchie stopped at his locker and began pulling things out and placing them in his bag. Notebook, pen, textbook...

"Here, let me hold that for you!" Amelia offered, tossing her hair over her shoulder and making a grab for the bag.

"No, I can do it."

"Okay. I just thought you might want help."

"Uh-huh."

"See you in science!"

...

Amelia was on her way over to the table where Crutchie was in the process of seating himself in the lunch room.

"Charlie-"

"No, I don't want your fucking help, Amelia. I can do it just fine on my own, always have. I don't need you to come along and think you're saving the day or being a good person or whatever just because you're friends with the crippled kid."

Amelia's voice was small as she replied, "You really shouldn't say that word-"

"Wrong." Crutchie said. "You shouldn't say that word. I can say it whenever the fuck I want."

A silence hung between them for a few moments before Amelia spoke again.

"I wasn't gonna... offer help. I just wanted to ask you something."

"Oh. Well, sorry."

"Don't be! I forgive you! Anyways, your friend Josie-"

"JoJo?"

"Well, sure, she said-"

"He said."

"Oh. A transgender. Uh, anyways, she said that you might maybe interested in going on a date with me if I were to ask?"

"Are you gonna ask?"

Crutchie prepared his 'I don't do relationships' speech in his head.

"Do you want to go on a date with me?" Amelia smiled.

"No."

Amelia stood in stunned silence for a moment before picking back up.

"Why not?"

"Because as I have expressed on many occasions I am capable of and want to be on my own."

"But I won't be overbearing or anything!"

"I do not experience romantic nor sexual attraction and I would appreciate if you would respect that and back off."

"Oh. Oh, that's so sad! What happened?"

"Cupid shot me with the wrong arrow so now I can't love."

Crutchie looked her in the eyes as if he was dead serious (he was, but that bit was supposed to be a joke).

"You can't love at all?"

Well, okay.

"I love food, and I love my friends."

"But that isn't the same, is it?"

"It's how I am. I don't love the way you want me to. Sorry."

"Well, I bet-"

"Nothing's gonna fix me. If I change, I change."

"But-"

"Kindly, fuck off. I'm kinda done. I'm not a fucking pity project. Also, JoJo is a boy, please treat him as such. Maybe go offer him your help, he's a fucking psycho apparently. Thought I'd go out with you."

Amelia said nothing as she ran off in the other direction. Crutchie settled in his seat and began unwrapping his sandwich.

"A fucking psycho, huh?"

JoJo appeared behind Crutchie, making him jump.

"Sick in the head." Crutchie confirmed after seeing the smile on JoJo's face.

"Good to know. Can I have your Twinkie?"

"You really are nuts." Crutchie laughed.

"No I'm not! I'm tits, actually." JoJo bit the inside of his lip to keep himself from laughing.

"Oh, don't worry, I know. You make a point of reminding all of us every time you get the shit beat out of you for it and then some."

"Oh, fuck you." JoJo stuck his tongue out at Crutchie.

"Love you too, Jo."

Farm kid Race written by actual farm kid Albert (hi)

...

...

It wasn't news that Race was a farm kid. 

Race was the ultimate  farm kid. He was tall, and skinny, and appeared to have no muscle at all, but he could toss you over a fence like a hay bale. He wore Twisted X shoes and faded boot cut jeans and shirts with American flags and guns on them. He carried his pocket knife around religiously, constantly fiddling with it like it was a toy. He could ride a horse, and he could try (and fail) to ride a bull in a rodeo. 

He was also really gay, though, and those two things happened to not go very well together. 

Not necessarily because of hate, although sometimes that did occur.

Mostly, being a gay farm boy was a problem for Race because he had a tendency to flirt with his farmer-ness. 

"It's gonna work this time, Jack." Race said certainly. 

"You look like you're gonna go kick his ass. Which you couldn't do, by the way. Spot's like, ten times stronger than you." Jack replied. 

"I just want to ask him to come to the rodeo with us, is it really that bad?"

"What's bad is that Spot's a city kid, and you ain't, and you dress like all those homophobic shitheads over there while Spot's openly bi. Do you understand what's gonna go through his head, Racer?"

"Do you want me to paint my nails or some bullshit? I don't gotta 'look gay,' whatever that means."

"Actually. I'm gonna make a bet with you here. You're gonna ask him out, to the rodeo. If he says no, you are  going to paint your nails. If he says yes, which he won't, then I will. Left on for a week. Deal?"

"No deal. If you paint your nails when ya lose, nobody will notice. You are the most obviously queer person in this room right now. If you lose, you're gonna wear my clothes for a week."

"I ain't losing, so. Sure thing."

The two boys shook on it. Race took a breath and turned to go, but...

"Oh yeah, I forgot." Race plucked a barley stalk out of the ground and stuck it in his mouth like-

"One of them damn buckle bunnies, that's what you look like right now. You look like an idiot." Jack was not having it. 

"Do ya think Spot likes idiots?" Race asked absentmindedly, staring at Spot. 

"You moron. Go, get it over with."

So Race marched up to Spot, loud and proud. 

"Hey."

"You know, I'm just trying to have a good time, I don't need any of your bullshit today." Spot said roughly.

"I was wondering if- wait what?" Race stopped.

"So I'm bi? Deal with it."

"Ohh darn, Jack was right."

"Kelly?"

"Yeah, Kelly. He said you was gonna think that- never mind, I ain't here to bully ya or anything."

"Okay, well? What do you want, then?"

"I'm gay."

Spot looked Race up and down, then scoffed. 

"Uh-huh."

"For reals."

"Alright. Good to know, bye." Spot took a step away, but Race caught him by the arm and turned him back. 

"I was wondering," Race said slowly, "If maybe you would want to go to the rodeo with me tonight? Like, as a date?"

Spot pulled his arm away from Race, and Race worried for a second that he was gonna walk away with a split lip or a black eye. 

"Sure thing. Let me text my Ma and let her know I'll be out late, yeah?"

...

"How do you wear this shit?" Jack asked the next day, standing before Race's full-length mirror. 

"Cause I like it. And now you have to deal with it for a whole week. Enjoy! I gotta go pick Spot up for school."

...

THE END

...

...

hi its the author I just realized y'all city ppl probs actually don't know what a buckle bunny is so where I come from we use it to describe someone who dresses like this, or basically like anyone who looks like a fake country person. The whole wheat in the mouth thing doesn't actually happen all that often which is why it tends to fall under the buckle bunny label.

Also, I used barley instead of wheat in this for me being a farm kid purposes so

[fly-sky-high-bug-games]

I need to focus on other things, I can't really draw the siblings' dynamic I'm desperate to showcase so have it tossed down bellow

-Hornet still calls Hollow by "Knight", as they have no name and she doesn't feel like it's her place to give them one. She also refers to them in it/its or they/them pronoun, kind of switches between the two

-Hollow's way of communication is body gestures and movement. They can write but it's been too long, they are somewhat relearning how to. They write in short sentences, not because they can't or don't want to communicate, it's their current headspace of just kind of existing normally that's new to them. They also eventually develop a sort of sign language of their own that only Hornet picks up on (at the time).

-Hornet is the one who introduced them to other bugs to see how they socialize, also being forced to do the same herself. She is not doing so well lol! Hollow, while not really knowing to pick up on social ques as well, is still doing better due to still carrying the basic training of being a knight (and polite towards bugs they were meant to "keep safe and serve")

-While she feels like took a lot on herself to help Hollow adapt, it's their interaction that sort of bounce off of each other and proving to be helpful to her as well. She still has a need to be protective of them in any situation, though, taking a lot of responsibility on herself while not needed and this can have a counter effect on Hollow, making them step away from her when she acts too much like that.

-Hollow doesn't like physical contact, not because they're afraid or not trusting enough because physical contact outside of combat is foreign to them. Hornet learned this (as shown in the comic) and is mainly allowing them to make the first step if she reach out (tugging on Hornet's cape to get her attention, a soft pat on the head as a thank you that they picked up from ~someone :)~ etc.)

-Hollow is recovering and learning but they are still highly trained, fully capable of taking enemies down. What they lack is a sense of drawing the line when to stop, not dealing with enemies who aren't void construct or high skilled like the great knights. They can gravely injure or kill someone very VERY fast and Hornet has to warn and stop them for not accidentally going too far

-They use World Sense to know and see things Hornet can, so randomly they would act a little out of it as if zoning out or mediating in the middle of doing something. Hornet doesn't usually disturb them when they do but she hates when they run off somewhere without her knowing if they decide to go investigate what they 'saw'

-The enemies Hornet tries to keep a secret are these strange bounty hunter bugs that are coming after for some reason *wink*. She thinks Hollow isn't aware but they are secretly keeping an eye out for her

-Hornet learned Hollow refuses to fully sleep rest the hard way (as in she tried all sort of assurances and methods to let them know they're safe but they would act in panic so she would stop trying or insisting)

Uh, I might add more in future self reblogs if I remember more, have this for now~

Chapter 4 - Nightguards Mobile Base

Mike is almost impressed by the black bus the Nightguards have turned into a base for tracking down runaway animatronics. He follows Vanessa aboard, looking around at all the equipment and flashing buttons.

Two men inside the bus stand up. They both look similar- like the same person, but from a different set of parents. The first looks excited and eager to begin. On his chest is a name tag that reads 'Jeremy Fitzgerald'. The other is slightly taller and has a blank expression. His name tag must be a nickname, however, as it simply says, 'Eggs Benedict'.

"Mike, I want you to meet the other emergency Nightguards." Vanessa says.

Jeremy moves forward immediately, offering his hand to shake, "Nice to meet you, Mike. I'm Jeremy. I'm sort of the tech guy around here."

Mike takes his hand and gives a half-hearted shake, "Ah- nice. I'm… the guy who let the animatronics out."

"We all make occasional mistakes." Eggs says in a stiff voice, "Like relying on autocorrect for legal documents. It happens."

"It sure does… Eggs." Vanessa gives him a wink.

"I've embraced it." Eggs says simply, "To change the paperwork would take three to seven weeks and I don't want to bother."

"So your name isn't Eggs." Mike clarifies.

"Legally, it is now." Eggs says.

"How do you manage that?"

Eggs shrugs, "I am capable of many clerical errors."

"Come on, Eggsy." Jeremy laughs, "Focus on what you're good at!"

"I am good at blind obedience." Eggs says.

Vanessa gives a sideways grin, "... yeahhhh, Eggs was chosen by management because he does pretty much anything he's asked. No complaints, no questions. He's like a robot, haha."

"Yes. Like a robot. Ha. Ha. Ha. Funny." Eggs says in a monotone voice, "But she is right. I will do anything that needs done, provided I can finish the job in time for my show."

"What show?" Jeremy asks.

"Well…" Eggs shows a tiny glimmer of emotion as he avoids eye contact.

"As much as I'd love to discuss TV, unless we're talking about Freddy and Friends, it'll have to wait." Vanessa says, "We have a hunch on where they might be headed next. And there's a plan to catch them."

Eggs looks relieved, as does Jeremy, who probably didn't actually want to know what Eggs watches.

Mike sits down in an empty chair and tries keeping to himself as Vanessa starts to outline the situation. He is thankful that she glosses over just how useless he was.

"Also, it seems one of the animatronics has a feature we don't know about. You may be put to sleep by one of them somehow. Mike wasn't affected. Mike, can you describe it?"

Mike can no longer remember exactly what happened, "I think… it was Freddy. Maybe. Or Chica?"

"Okay." Vanessa writes down what he says, "Do you know how they did it?"

He shrugs, "I don't remember. I got hit in the head. Twice I think."

"Gosh, do you need to see a doctor?" Jeremy asks, concerned.

"Nah, head trauma is an average Tuesday for me." Mike admits.

"We are both prone to mistakes." Eggs says.

Mike doesn't want to be associated with Eggs, but he nods, "Yep. Seems so."

"Good thing I always do things perfectly and never mess up." Jeremy adds jokingly.

Vanessa looks physically pained to see her team, "Okay, let's get back on track. Animatronic features. Who needs a refresher?"

Mike doesn't, but Eggs and Jeremy both raise their hands.

"Okay, so every Fazbear animatronic is equipped with its own special features. Some are pretty basic and some are unique." Vanessa explains, "The four we have to concern ourselves with at the moment are the original Freddy, Chica, Bonnie and Foxy animatronics."

"Bonnie is my favorite." Jeremy says.

Vanessa gives him a look.

"I am partial to Freddy." Eggs misses Vanessa's expression.

"Ha. Basic." Jeremy says, "Mike?"

Mike shrugs, "Uh… Fffffoxy?"

"Great. Love to hear it." Vanessa says, "Now as I was saying-"

"What's your favorite, Vanessa?" Jeremy interrupts.

Vanessa openly glares at him.

"You can have Chica." Jeremy says.

"Speaking of Chica-" Vanessa tries steering the conversation back to the task at hand, "Can anyone tell me what Chica's features include?"

Mike doesn't want to speak up and the others clearly don't know. Vanessa keeps talking with barely a pause.

"Chica has a cupcake animatronic that she can remotely control. She can see and hear through it, which makes it a perfect spy. You have to be careful if you see the cupcake separated from Chica."

"She also likes pizza." Mike adds.

"Oh yeah. In the cartoon." Jeremy says.

"No, the animatronic loves pizza." Mike clarifies, "She spends a lot of time in the kitchen just eating like crazy. We could maybe lure her with food if we need to."

Vanessa nods and writes down the information, "Good idea. Next we have Bonnie. He's pretty straight forward. He has good hearing and eyesight and can move pretty quick. Nothing else of note."

Mike raises an eyebrow, "What about the fuzz?"

"The fuzz?"

Mike wonders how much Vanessa actually knows about these robots, "Bonnie messes with cameras and electronics. I call it 'the fuzz' sometimes because he can make the camera super fuzzy and distorted. Especially if he's looking at it or singing. He sings a lot, by the way."

"Yeah, he's the guitarist!" Jeremy plays air guitar and laughs, "He's so cool. I learned to play guitar because of him."

"Maybe you can get his autograph while he's tearing you limb from limb." Vanessa snaps, "Can we please stay on-topic?"

Eggs raises his hand.

Vanessa casts him a withering look, but lets him speak.

"Could we possibly use Bonnie to cause the other animatronics to malfunction? If they are also electronics?"

"That's… a good idea." Vanessa says, surprised, "But let's get through the rest of these. Foxy is even faster than Bonnie and his eyesight is better. He can see electric currents, magnetic fields, even sound waves in some cases."

"He can see through the cameras too." Mike says, deciding to just keep adding to Vanessa's information, "The manager says I imagined it, but every time I turned the cameras onto Foxy, he would take a moment and look directly at me. He knew the camera was on and he knew I was behind it."

"That's a bit horrifying." Jeremy says.

"Oh yeah- and you can temporarily blind him with a bright light." Mike says, "That's probably the only reason I'm alive right now."

"Yeah- so… flashlights are an important tool for us." Vanessa says, "Make sure you never leave this bus without one."

She looks down at her notes and scribbles something down, "Okay then. Now we just have Freddy. His eyes can glow and he has a music box."

"Is that it?" Jeremy asks.

Vanessa nods, "Unless Mike has some added information for us?"

Mike shrugs, "Uh- not really. He's just a robotic bear. Which is scary enough."

Eggs raises his hand again and Mike wonders if he knows he can just speak without permission. Vanessa gives him a nod of approval.

"I know everyone says they are robotic, but every time I've seen a picture of one, they look real. Well- not like real animals, but like they do in the cartoons. Not like the animatronics from the restaurants."

Vanessa nods, "Good question. But they are robots. I don't think we know why they look the way they do."

"Sure we do." Jeremy says, "Don't you know how this started in the first place?"

Vanessa stares at him blankly, "What?"

Jeremy leans forward, excited to tell the others what he knows, "This all happened because the designer of the animatronics wanted them to be realistic in the restaurants. He wanted them to look just like the cartoons, like Eggs said."

Jeremy spins his chair around and types into a computer, bringing up an image of a small, round disk, "These disks were added to every animatronic. How they work exactly is classified, but they emit a field of some sort that alters how the animatronics appear. It makes them look real. It also seems to have some bad side effects that make them go crazy and want to kill people."

"So if we remove the disks, we should be able to make them harmless again?" Vanessa asks.

"Nope. They tried that. The animatronics seem to be able to emit the necessary field on their own now. The disk evolved them in a way. That's why they can eat and breathe. Who knows what else they're capable of?"

Eggs tilts his head, "Was the disk used on anything else? What kind of robots do you think it would work on?"

"I think it would work on anything, but it's patented by Fazbear Incorporated, so nothing else ever got one. Not that we know of anyway." Jeremy says, "Why do you ask?"

Eggs shrugs and looks away, "Just curious."

Vanessa is furiously scribbling down notes in her notepad. She looks up and gives a tired smile, "Any more questions? Or comments?"

"I don't know, Vanny? Do you have questions?" Jeremy teases, "You seem to be a bit out of your depth."

Vanessa squeezes her pen so hard ink comes out the top, "I was trained for this position. We just didn't have time to go over all the tiny details…"

"You don't have to defend yourself." Mike says, "I'm sure you're the most qualified."

Vanessa seems even more uncomfortable and Mike wonders if his natural tone of speaking came off as sarcastic. He hopes not, but he doesn't want to waste time clarifying.

Vanessa finishes what she was saying, but is clearly off her rhythm. As she speaks, Mike regrets stepping on this bus. If it comes down to the four of them versus the four animatronics, he has a painful idea of how it will end.

my ocs' dorm exchange voicelines!

okay, so, i did draw my ocs' dorm exchange versions a while ago, but i want to do an actual event with them because i think it would be fun :) i'm planning to write an "event intro" vignette and i hope i'll be able to write character vignettes as well.

and yes, minnie is actually gonna be the protagonist of this event and not seth! so yeah, everyone is actually talking to her in their voicelines. i think it would be fun for seth to be the protagonist in some events and for minnie to be the protagonist in other events! (for example, seth came to nbc in the masquerade event and minnie didn't and seth didn't participate in the dorm exchange program while minnie did)

(also, if you're wondering why all of these ocs got sent to other dorms meanwhile most canon characters are still in their dorms and only epel is mentioned to be participating in the program.. haha, i totally wasn't too lazy to think about the canon characters' new dorms <3)

@scarabiaa your ocs are mentioned here too!! :D

home idle 3: "i still don't get why the dark mirror sent me to savanaclaw. sure, i'm pretty strong physically, but is that it? is that the only reason to send me to this dorm full of jocks? wait, could it be.. it's because so many students think i'm similar to a mouse, isn't it. ugh, i won't be surprised if leona was somehow behind the mirror's decision."

home idle groovy: "it's a shame that ruggie and jack couldn't appreciate my daughters' beauty. haha, they tried so hard to act like they're not scared of them, especially jack! i wonder what would leona's reaction be.. oh, what if i put my dolls next to him while he's asleep?"

home tap 1: "seth really escaped to nbc while no one was looking.. it still surprises me that he's able to just visit other schools whenever he pleases and crowley can't do anything to stop him. he's so lucky.. i wish he would stop texting me about how "cute" his boyfriend is though. no, seth, i don't need to know just how affectionate he becomes when you're around! and no, i don't need to know all the details!"

home tap 2: "this dorm's heat is too much for me.. i'm glad we have lumi-senpai here though. her powers are so useful and she can easily turn all of those dumb jocks into ice statues! she is so cool.. uh, both literally and figuratively, i guess."

home tap 3: "jack is surprisingly nice to talk to actually. i thought he's gonna be just as bad as other savanaclaw students, but i don't mind his company that much. i even feel like our personalities are kinda similar, haha. h-he's so tall though.."

home tap groovy: "ruggie is even worse than leona. if he pranks me one more time, i will tell him that all of my dolls are actually the people who have wronged me in some way and if he keeps acting like this, he's gonna become my new doll!"

set home: "ME?? IN OCTAVINELLE?? HOW- wait, i can't swim, can you send me to the other dorm now?"

home idle 1: "the mirror said something about me always being ready to help others and that's why it sent me here.. i don't even like helping people though?? i just like making them feel like they owe me something- oh. oh, that's why i'm here."

home idle 2: "i'm not saying that i'm scared of those twins, but.. i feel so uncomfortable when they're around.. one of them is particularly annoying, he keeps saying how cute i am and tries to make me angry on purpose. and what's with him calling me a "black ghost knifefish"? couldn't he come up with a shorter nickname?"

home idle 3: "merrill came here just because he wanted to see me in this uniform. he's so weird.. and no, i don't care about him wearing the savanaclaw uniform! he doesn't even look that good in it!.. no, i'm not a tsundere, i just think he looks better in his ignihyde uniform. if you saw him wearing it, you'd agree with me."

home idle groovy: "wow, riley is sure popular with the customers. i have no idea why though, his looks are average and he's definitely not a genius like me. hm? "his personality is cute"?.. don't make me laugh. he's just a chill guy, that's all, there's nothing special about it. but considering nrc students' personalities.. nevermind, he is special."

home tap 2: "great, now idia is laughing at me too. what's with him saying that if i had fans, they would go insane after seeing me in this uniform and they would "beg me to come home"? creepy.. of course i have fans, it's just that they wouldn't make gacha game references, unlike that pathetic idiot."

home tap 3: "what? don't look at me like that, yes, i spilled a customer's drink on them and yelled at them instead of apologizing, what else did you expect? i did it accidentally anyway. well, uh, the yelling part wasn't accidental, but still.. oh no, i can see azul. quick, help me hide from him!"

groovy: "i'm not intending to become friends with you all. i'm here just because of the exchange program and nothing else. but, um.. i think i can trust you. you're friends with roland-senpai, after all."

set home: "i guess i like this "thorns theme" that they have, but that's the only good part."

home idle 1: "how can you get along with that crocodile guy? he's so loud.. no, you DO get along with him. well, at least he cares about you, i heard him mention you many times and it looks like he's worried about you. so yeah, maybe you should talk to him.. or don't. it's none of my business."

home idle 2: "silver is actually very nice to spend time with. he's asleep most of the time, but for some reason i still find it very calming. how does he manage to look like a beautiful prince even when he's asleep?.. s-so annoying, i doubt that i'll be able to become friends with him."

home idle 3: "so roland-senpai's friend is also from this dorm.. to be honest, i want to talk to him. maybe i'll learn more about roland-senpai's past if i do. no, it's not like i think he's suspicious or anything. i really do admire roland-senpai and i want to know more about him. especially what happened to his other eye.."

home idle groovy: "i see, so this dorm is full of people who use very strong magic, but they're either weird, intimidating or just. you know. too dangerous for this society." *sighs* "i would never be able to fit in here- what? i AM intimidating enough to become a perfect diasomnia student? okay, but what about my mag- and my magic is impressive enough for this dorm?.. hey, are you feeling okay? it's not like you to just compliment me all of a sudden."

home tap 1: "what, you want to know what i think of the crocodile boy's idol? um.. he's fine. he's also very tall, even if we don't count his horns. that's it. what else did you expect to hear? "he's so cool!!~ i hope he notices my feelings one day >///<"? go and talk to sebek if you want to see this kind of reaction."

home tap 2: "so i received a lot of texts this morning and they all were from vil. naturally, i got scared but then i was like "wait.. maybe he's actually worried about me? what if he misses me?", that was very naive of me, i know. it turned out that he just texted me to say that i don't look good with black eyeliner and this shade of green doesn't suit me and.. basically, he just wants me to go back to pomefiore as soon as this program ends because goth aesthetic is not my thing."

home tap 3: "i miss epel, to be honest.. i wish we were sent to the same dorm, it wouldn't be so boring with him. maybe we could make fun of diasomnia students together.. don't tell him that though, he teases me a lot whenever i show that i actually care about him. i know, i didn't expect that from him either."

home tap groovy: "i didn't get any answers from him.. why am i not surprised at all? but i understand that he didn't tell me anything not because he was just being his usual self, but because he wanted to keep roland-senpai's secret. and i can respect that. maybe roland-senpai will tell me everything himself when the time comes."

groovy: "hey~ hey, dorm leader~ are you asleep? no, no, everything is okay, i'm just bored and i wanted to annoy you because i thought it's gonna be fun. and it sure is~"

set home: "i can't believe i'm saying this, but can i go back to ignihyde?"

home idle 1: "hm? ah, yes, i decided to let my hair down for once, i thought that my braid didn't look good with this outfit. what do you think about it? oh, come on, i know you like it. you wouldn't ask me about it if you didn't."

home idle 2: "ahaha, jack-chan is such a cute boy, he's trying so hard to look cool, but he's just way too adorable for that. he reminds me of austin-chan, now that i think about it. though i doubt that they would ever become friends. now i'm imagining austin-chan being sent to savanaclaw." *laughs* "i should go and pay him a visit, i'm sure he misses me too."

home idle 3: "t-they're all laughing at me.. i have never felt so weak and pathetic in my entire life.. they're forcing me to train with them and play their stupid games that don't make any sense! let me go already, i'm just a cute and pretty cosplayer, what do you want from me? i feel terrible, can you please hug me and comfort me?"

home idle groovy: "ugh, come on, leona, can't you show a more interesting reaction? i'm so used to people blushing and sweating whenever i talk to them and this guy just.. goes back to sleep. he's no fun at all.. but what could possibly make him react in the same way as those people?"

home tap 1: "oh, my cousin is here too? nice, we're gonna suffer together then. okay, where is she? she's probably trying to fight the dorm leader or something like that, isn't she? hey, iris~ your beloved cousin is here~ oh, i can see her trying to step on leona's tail while he's asleep."

home tap 2: "wait a minute, cole is calling me, hold on. what? no, cole, even though seth-chan was so lucky to escape when no one was looking, i can't do that! i can't visit you right now! the jocks are making me train with them and they keep shouting "go, e-boy, go"! see, you understand how bad my situation is, right?"

home tap 3: "i wonder why the mirror sent you to savanaclaw as well. you aren't exactly a sporty type, right? and i'm not that athletic either.. what if the mirror just wanted to make fun of us? what if it's just a prank? oh, trust me, that thing is not taking its job seriously. i think i heard it say to crowley that if seth was here, it would send him to heartslabyul because "it still thinks that seth x riddle is better""

home tap groovy: "hey, you look like you're having fun even though you say that you hate this dorm as much as i do. come on, don't deny it. you and jack-chan get along so well too and i'm not talking about your relationship with ruggie-chan, i'm sure you like him even more. haha, okay, okay, you hate him, i get it. but still, i'm glad you're enjoying this, i wish i could see your smile more often."

set home: "i look so cool in this uniform, right? it's much cooler than the heartslabyul one, right?"

home idle 1: "ortho-kun is so nice, he showed me how everything works here and he was so patient with me too! i'm glad he stayed in this dorm, it would be so boring without him here."

home idle 2: "i really like how this dorm looks, but.. my eyes kinda hurt from all this lighting.. oh well, at least it's not the rainbow kind of lighting, you know, the one that all gamers really like. yeah, i think it's overrated, honestly. oh, my heartslabyul room actually has these really cool green lights that i turn on when it gets dark!"

home idle 3: "idia's been avoiding me all day.. haha, he really is scared of me. you see, i'm way too chaotic for someone like him. it's his problem though, i'm not gonna try to change so that he likes me more. riddle-senpai would know, i still refuse to follow all those rules our dorm has."

home tap 1: "you want to know if i like heartslabyul or ignihyde more? hm.. you see, ignihyde really does fit me more, however, i actually find heartslabyul more fun. sure, me and ignihyde students have a lot of common interests, but they don't want to talk to me about anything. and heartslabyul students.. i hate that most of them still treat me like a child, but they actually like me a lot."

home tap 2: "am i better at games than idia? well, i hate to admit it, but he really is strong. but i heard that riley-kun has beat him in the past, so hey, he's definitely not perfect. but one day.. one day i will beat him in a game too! i just need to learn his weaknesses.. riley-kun will find it so impressive too, i just know it!"

home tap 3: "apparently, riddle-senpai's been worried about me and he asked trey to check on me and make sure that i'm okay. haha, did he think that these nerds are gonna beat me up or something? but.. that's really sweet of him, actually. yay, riddle-senpai's friendship level up!!.. that sounded cringe, didn't it."

groovy: "why.. why are they so nice to me? they know that i've been lying to everyone all this time and i tried to make them worship me, right? i just don't get them at all.. is it because most pomefiore students are too weird for me to understand them?"

set home: "well, at least i don't have to deal with azul.."

home idle 1: "this uniform is so uncomfortable to move in. i'm almost starting to miss the octavinelle uniform. yeah, i hated wearing it and i felt awkward in it, but hey, some people actually thought i looked good. i refused to wear the hat though. there are a lot of things i'm willing to do to make someone like me, but wearing that stupid hat is not one of them."

home idle 2: "vil told me that even though my looks are nothing special, he will still try to turn me into a masterpiece. well, good luck to him, what else can i say. ugh, do i have to wear all this makeup? i look so weird with it.."

home idle 3: "where is that guy.. don't mind me, i'm just hiding from allen's pomefiore version. he has said multiple times that he finds me interesting and that's already one of the two huge red flags. what's the other one?.. his eyes. have you seen what his eyes look like? those are the eyes of a man who is not sane at all."

home tap 1: "so i heard that there's this girl who also was sent to pomefiore and.. i-if i'm not wrong, she has her own horse? haha, maybe if i become friends with her, she will let me see it.. of course, it's probably not gonna work since everyone knows now what kind of person i really am, but it doesn't hurt to try, right?"

home tap 2: "it looks like a lot of students were suddenly sorted into this dorm. good, i'm not the only one suffering here. the mirror probably sent them here just because of their looks.. no, i still don't know why it thought that pomefiore will be a perfect dorm for me. maybe.. maybe it's because pomefiore students are more interested in giving me a makeover than judging me because of my past?"

home tap 3: "to be honest, i actually like this dorm's, uh, "aesthetic" more than octavinelle's. i'm not a fan of underwater themes, so spending all my time there was.. not fun. no, i do NOT have a fear of water- oh, what's the point in lying to you now, yes, i do have a fear of water. here, you happy now?"

home idle 1: "azul-senpai knows that i'm very popular, so he wants to use that reputation of mine for his benefit. he also said that the customers would be happy if i smiled more." *sighs* "why do i feel like azul-senpai is actually not a good person?"

home idle 2: "shh, i'm hiding under the table from those customers. and from azul-senpai. and from pretty much everyone. don't tell them anything, please. oh, and it's very comfortable here, you can hide with me too, if you want."

home idle 3: "floyd-senpai? oh, i'm in the same club as him, so i know him well. he's a good person, i like him. he's very fun to be around. his nicknames are cute too. huh? why would i find him scary? he can just be a little bit too energetic sometimes, but i'm used to dealing with people like that."

home tap 1: "i think azul-senpai is mad at me. i asked him to show me his merman form, but he refused and i kept poking his cheek until he asked me to go back to work. i'm afraid he thinks i'm annoying now.. good, it seems like my plan has worked. maybe this way he'll understand that making me work at mostro lounge is not a good idea."

home tap 2: "do you think rsa has a program like this as well? how do they even get sorted into dorms? do they have a.. "light mirror" or something like that? imagine if this program actually worked differently and rsa students got sent to nrc meanwhile we got sent to rsa- yeah, i just miss allen a lot."

home tap 3: "what do i think about jade-senpai? he's a good person, i like him- ah, i said the same thing about floyd-senpai. uh.. let me think.. i like him a lot, because he doesn't force me to.. you know, smile more often, unlike azul-senpai. he doesn't judge me and i feel like he understands me very well. also he knows a lot about mushrooms. he's cool."

Alright, so, final thoughts, the short version: gET ON WITH THE NEXT SEASON, CHOP CHOP STORY BOY--

Seriously tho, GREAT story — there's something about it that has made me go existential crisis levels of poetic over it that NOTHING ELSE has made me go which like. props to Evbo, he's doing great! I WILL be going feral over that ending and Parrot and that Clown cameo and Zam and all things I liked and so on so forth, like always. I wanna make character designs but it feels... wrong, I guess, in a sense to give them all designs beyond the cubic space they inhabit — I don't do well with simple and detail-free designs (like Zam's and Wemmbu's like seriously, 5 year old in paint level of detail smh /aff) and I believe that giving them ANY amount of detail they don't already have is doing their characters a disservice?? ESPECIALLY with clothes???? Idk how to say it or explain it, but the fact they don't wear armor is VERY intentional, right? I mean, PVP typically involves armor and the fact that acquiring armor is OPTIONAL is intentional for whatever reason so, again, in my head giving them any more detail than they have (or lack I say as I side-eye Zam and Wemmbu) is a disservice to how PVP Civilization works. But that's honestly just me

More spoiler-y territory up ahead, gonna put in one of those good ol' "click here for more!" thingamabobs that tumblr has. Don't say you weren't warned.

Alright, now that all the cool kids are here, let's discuss details:

When I say I went "existential crisis levels of poetic" over this thing, I mean "I wrote a whole thing about being a spectator willing and wanting to help, but unable to due to the nature of being in different levels of reality" type shit, might drop it on my ao3 (y'all should go by my ao3 i have fun stuff there and might start dropping some other stuff as well wink wink ok. self promo over) and it was honestly fun! Will DEFINITELY do some MORE of that around this new episode! Unironically frothing at the mouth waiting for a new season to start slowly being drop-fed to us like little fish being thrown those fish food chip things idk I'm too drunk to think (not really. but it's fun to say anyway)

I LOVED Zam but tbf I've been loving that motherfucking asshole bastard /aff this WHOLE TIME so like. nothing new lmaooo. I ALSO love Clown's little cameo! (not counting it as a SPOILER spoiler cuz like. it's 2 mins or so in. I won't count that shit as spoilers c'mon) but uh. ALSO nothing new lol I'm a HARDCORE (not really) Clown fan I WILL be bought and EASILY swayed over with the promise of Clown content, I'm REALLY that easy; anyway it was really fun and OFC he's an antagonist smh — he's either a bad guy protagonist or an antagonist, NEVER on the same side as the protagonist/a good guy who DOESN'T wanna murder ppl (I see what kinda theater kid he is. I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE MR. CLOWN. YOU CAN'T HIDE FROM ME)

I said it already but I'll say it again: Tabi had ALWAYS been fucking sus to me from the start, what with being SO AT THE READY to exploit Evbo's respawning ability for her own gain and all that, so her backstabbing him ain't a surprise to me; but what someone (I'm too lazy to get to the computer to give proper credits or quoting. y'all are gonna have to make do with paraphrasing) said in the comments is actually fucking interesting: Evbo respawned; after the cut to black Tabi is seen holding her diamond axe and while that serves to show the audience what she was really born as, it could very well also show that Tabi gave Evbo a mercy — she let him respawn. She — potentially — didn't kill him with The Eternal Sword, and instead delivered the final blow with her diamond axe: an object that would allow Evbo to come back from death. She's gone soft.

That's gonna be her downfall, one way or another. Clown was right in doubting her — while she's physically strong and knows all the techniques, she's not detached enough from her emotions that she's fully capable of pretending to form friendships without actually making friends; aka: she can pretend she doesn't care, but something deep inside of her does care what happens to Evbo. Until proven otherwise I'll take this scene as bEING RIGHT MOTHERFUCKERS, I READ TABI LIKE A FUCKING BOOK LET'S GO--

So all in all I'm gonna be OBSESSED over this for the next while — well done Evbo, well fucking done

The end to the story. whatever happens, I guess it happened — I have hopes, idk where they're placed or what they mean, but I have them.

Whatever happens, I know Evbo is going out with a bang.

[pinkplantmakesstuff]

[Sat opposite me is none other then The Commander himself. We are in my office; surrounded by stacks of notebooks and stationary, this is no battlefield and it's clear The Commander is currently out of his depth.

I will admit I was shocked when he agreed to an interview; the Commander is infamously secretive about his private life and personal affairs, and there are terrible rumours about his foul temper and monstrous appearance. Sat opposite me however, is a young, world-weary man]

Exclusive interview continues under the Read More...

Let's start with some introductory questions, can you introduce yourself?

[There's a pause before he finally speaks, he's surprisingly soft spoken.] My name's Alec. [He looks at me, and I have to prompt him for more] Oh I see. Uh people refer to me as the Commander, but I'm, not really? I don't, well I don't belong to the Pact anymore? But apparently the title stuck. And I just, end up helpin' with stuff still. [He shifts uncomfortably, and I need to know what brought him to my office today, why he's changed his mind before I continue with the more personal questions.]

So, Commander, what's changed? Why an interview now? After refusing to talk to any journalists for so long, what caused this change of heart?

[There's a another long pause.] Well, I mean...a couple of people told me it might be...good for appearances, to you know talk to one of you people, instead of just... lettin' everyone make stuff up about me all the time. [I assume he means the rumours that make up most of his public perception - like the idea his mouth is full of flesh-tearing fangs- which I can now confirm to be false. He may have pointed fangs but they are small, and he seems more interested in gnawing at his own lip.] Oh, uh and you can just call me Alec I guess.

Well thank you for choosing to speak to me Comman-Alec, now lets move onto the more personal stuff; what is your gender identity, orientation and relationship status?

[This seems to catch him off guard.] That, that is kind of, personal. [He grimaces and draws his arm tightly across his chest. "You said you didn't want people to make stuff up about you anymore, why don't you tell people so they know the real you."] I, well, ok. [He gives a defeated sigh but it seems I've swayed him around for now at least] Uh I'm a guy and I like other men. And, uh, there, might be someone. He's...[Alec mulls over his words for a minute, the "fearsome" fangs nibbling at his own mouth again] well he's like, there's a connection? It's hard to explain. ["You've just disappointed many potential suitors I suspect!" At this he lets out a surprised laugh, as if he can't believe what I said. "Is this potential someone your fearsome companion you've been rumoured to be spotted with? With fangs and horns even greater then your own?" At this he frowns, folding his arm in again.] He's not fearsome he's just, well he's great. [I've clearly struck a nerve so I choose to move on.]

Where and when were you born?

[Another one-armed shrug.] Dunno. Some small place. Don't remember it, don't care. And uh, I'm like, well I think I'm twenty? Something like that I don't know my birthday. I think it's in Winter. [At this it was mine turn to let out an incredulous laugh - which I admit was unprofessional of me. "I knew you seemed young but, only twenty? That's, you've done a lot for someone so young." There's another, lengthier pause.] S'pose so. [He doesn't comment on this further.]

Here's something you should know plenty about! What is your weapon of choice and fighting style?

[He narrows his eyes at me, and then tilts his head thoughtfully. For a moment I thought he was going to demonstrate his magical capabilities I've heard so much about but then he simply shakes his head, a if deciding against it.] Magic. People don't like it. ["Yes I've heard the rumours of your powerful necromancy, as well as the tales of you being able to transform-" He cuts me off] I fight with magic. [Again I've struck another nerve, but I don't blame him. The rumour-mill has been particularly unkind to this young man, and it's no secret how many people view darker aspects of magic unfavourably.]

Lastly, for these introduction questions, are you happy?

[We sit there in silence for several minutes, and it seems he has no answer for me. I decide to move on quickly.]

Let's move onto the people in your life! What’s your family like? What is your relationship with them?

Uh, I don't. Well my family is, well she's a baker. We grew up together. And V-my... partner? [He catches himself, clearly trying to protect keep them anonymous.] I don't have any other family I guess. But, I'd do anythin' to keep them safe. [I don't push further but it's clear the Commander's family means as much to him as the next person. Something the rumours have lead people to believe is not the case.]

Have you ever ran away from home?

Yeah. When I was a kid. My friend - the baker. We left together. it was better after that. [Alec doesn't elaborate further to begin with, before realising he's only told me part of it.] From an orphanage I mean - it's the same ol' story about kids losin' family to the Risen then being taken into care when I was a baby. We hated it. We got old enough. We ran away.

You mentioned you have a partner, this mysterious V. Would you consider marriage or having children?

[Alec's demeanour almost doesn't change, but I've not spend years in journalism and not learnt how to read people. This question has clearly flustered the young commander.] Uhh, that's, kind of personal. I don't think about stuff like that? I, well it's just nice having someone around more now. [I was about to move on before he interrupts.] But, kids are good, if, I think I'd have liked too, if things had been different.

Let's talk about some juicy gossip! Do you secretly hate one of your friend?

What? [This clearly catches him off-guard, before letting out a bitter laugh.] No. I haven't got enough of those to secretly hate one of 'em. Plenty of people have made it clear how much they hate me though. I wouldn't be surprised if more of them secretly hated me too. [Another short pause, he shifts in his seat and I catch a peek at the small wings sticking out oh his back.] I'm too tired to hate any of them, especially secretly.

I see, so which friend knows everything about you?

[Almost subconsciously he touches his horns, they are short, stubby things.] I don't think, I have- maybe the two I mentioned earlier know the most. It's hard to talk about things. ["Hmm I'd picked up on that." At this he laughs, the minor tension that had started building up eased slightly.] Yeah I'm not great at words and stuff.

The next set of questions are asked my fans! Are you literate? Have you been to school?

Fans? [He shakes his head in disbelief before leaning back in his chair, hair obscuring his face slightly.] The orphanage wasn't much for teachin'. Next question. [I resist the urge to press further.]

The eeriest prediction you made that later came true?

[He seems to spend some time thinking this one over before shaking his head.] Dunno. I guess I just assume most of the people I meet won't stick around long enough to be friends and...well I guess in a way they don't get to stick around I've....I've lost a lot of people. I guess that counts right? [He laughs slightly at this, but it isn't a happy one. Even the commander, who is oft described as cold is clearly affected by the ongoing tragedies he seeks to help stop.]

What is something you were embarrassingly late to realize?

I don't think I realised Sylvari could glow for like, ages. [He puts his hand up to his face slightly but he smiles slightly as he speaks, and it's only now I've realised he's without his infamous blind-fold. I mention this but he shrugs it off.] I still 'ave it. I just, don't want to wear it right now.

Do you have mental health or physical issues?

[He waves the stump of his missing arm, bandages still visible. Everyone's already heard about the fight against the fearsome Jungle dragon that cost him his arm, as well as the Marshall of The Pact .] Does this count? [He makes no mention of his mental health so I try to press further.] I'm fine.

What is your current main goal?

[Alec shakes his head, before shrugging again.] I'm not gonna talk about stuff like that, in case it puts people at risk, it's, well it's stuff that needs doing to help people.

Let's move onto something easy! Some choices! Drink or food?

Food. I like cooking. ["Really? The famous Commander, known and feared on the battlefield, enjoys being in a kitchen?" He smiles slightly and nods.] It's just nice y'know. I like making things a lot.

Cats or dogs?

Cats. Their senses are easier to see through and they can fit in smaller places. [Before I can ask what he means he continues.] I would like a pet one too I think.

Early bird or night owl?

I prefer getting up early, it means I have longer in the day to get stuff done.

Optimist or pessimist?

[He frowns again.] Don't know. I don't think things are ever gonna go very well. [He merely shrugs when I point out that he sounds like a pessimist.]

Sassy or sarcastic?

I wouldn't say I'm either to be honest. ["There have been reports from Queen Jenna's courts that you have been known to make the occasional sarcastic, scathing remark."] Well there are also reports I've got a huge dragon tail but that don't make it true either. [I don't point out that dry remark he made.]

You'll be pleased Alec, we are finally finishing up! Finally it's time for some "Have you evers". Lets start with have you ever been caught sneaking out?

Nope. I used to be unnoticeable, though, that's changed a...little. [He gestures to himself in what I am assuming is reference to his small wings and horns] Like I said earlier though, magic.

Broke a bone?

Nope not that either. ["Really? With your work on the field and from the battles I've heard, you've truly never broken a bone?] I guess that's just the one thing I got goin' for me I guess.

Received flowers?

I don't think so? Wait yeah maybe but they are from people I don't really know as thanks which is nice I guess- I give 'em to...my baker friend coz she likes to display them in her shop.

Ghosted someone?

[There's another pause, it seemed he'd been slowly getting used to speaking to me but this one has him quiet again.] Not....intentionally. Keepin' in contact is hard when you're constantly travelling. And writing is... not one of my greatest talents.

Pretended to laugh at a joke you didn’t get?

Uhh to be honest I probably wouldn't realise it was a joke sometimes', and if I did and I don't get it then maybe they should have told a better joke. [He shrugs and I can't help but laugh at his honesty]

[There you have it readers, an EXCLUSIVE interview with the feared Commander himself. Nothing like the rumours who describe him as "The Beast", The Commander is just another war-weary fighter trying to do what's right.]

Thank you @the-mystic-dragon for tagging me this was so much fun to write! (Even if it took like, an hour, and I massively changed the format XD) This is written as if it's around mid to late lws3 and before PoF as well as in the au with Vasche! Vasche is @resonatingfern's wonderful character and Alec's "mysterious partner" in this. In terms of tagging, if ya wanna do one go ahead! Though I did change the format quite a bit oops XD

anon request: i love your writing smmm !! 🥺 can i request mha sick hcs where they take care of the reader when they don’t feel well 🥺 you choose who !! <3333

a/n: sorry it took so long <//3

pairings: Kaminari, Kirishima, Tokoyami and Monoma x sick,g/n!reader

warnings: none rlly, mention of throwing up in monoma, slight manga spoilers

can be seen platonically and romantically <3

kaminari:

Tbh i think he’d be quite Useless

Just rlly panicky n stuff bc what the fuck does one do with a sick person???

*walks into your dorm* “hey y-n wanna- WHAT THE FUCK YOU LOOK TERRIBLE”

*you in a blanket and not having enough energy to be offended* “i think i’m dying” “y/n WHAT”

He’d try his best regardless tho

He goes to sato and helps with doing something soothing and welcoming

On his way back to your dorm he passes aizawa and tells him you’re sick in THE worst way

“Oh yeah Aizawa-sensei, y/n is dying-” “THEY’RE WHAT”

Kami would definitely storm into the room with him and be just as worried

What if it was something really serious??? Like the plague?????

They find you just laying in bed, sniffling and groaning

Turns out it wasn’t the plague and just a bad flu

Flu with its whole jazz, you had a fever of 38C and you could barely move

Aizawa got you excused from classes for about a week and left again

Kami just stood there with his soup and went “oh thank god you're not dying”

like i said i think he'd be useless but try his best

he checks up on you every half hour either in person or via text during classes

he brings you stuff like blankets and foods even though you can't taste any of them or have any type of appetite

but! thanks to the fridge in your room you just had snacks for about… forever

he gave you extra attention too

sometimes he'd just sit on the ground and talk about his day and theories while you just laid under your blanket

you appreciated it though

except for aizawa, sato and tsuyu nobody came over and even they just came in every few hours

kami stayed for hours on end and even tried to convince aizawa to let him sleep over so he could “watch over you” incase you “stopped breathing”

it's not like you slept much when he was around anyway, nights were not ideal for a good rest on a sick day

it was endearing seeing him lay on a futon on the floor and poking you when he had to get up for class

he leaves notes and stuff to make sure you didn't get worried

did he do anything to make you feel better physically? not rlly

did he lift your spirits and make you feel less lonely? most definitely

kirishima:

hear me out

this boy is an angel when it comes to caring for people

when he got into the whole essentially self care stuff he also knows what's best for others

he was probably one of the first to notice you being ~off your game~

whether in class or just yknow vibing, he'd tap your shoulder and softly “you okay man?”

he calls everyone dude and man and bro no matter gender or anything he's just that into the manliness stuff

and yes he puts you in essentially self isolation more for yourself than for others

“your body needs to rest y/n! can't properly get better if everyone keeps bothering you!”

he calls you every night tho and he has aizawa bring you stuff when he checks up on you (he's allowed because he's the teacher ofc also as long you're a UA student like one of your legal guardians which is like a dad and dads can see their kids sick right?)

stuff ranges from just bowls of soup to compresses to the handmade ointment against a sore throat to like socks he knitted or something his parents sent in bc he told them you were sick

yes this boy tells his parents you're sick

i mean someone probably told yours but like twice the parents means twice the comfort!

alternatively if your parents are *cough* he'd tell his parents and put you on the phone with them because everyone needs some parental love from time to time (don't act tough about it, he's gonna make you cry and tell you how manly you are for doing so)

when you're back on your feet he probably still treats you like you're about to fall over for like two or three days more

he praises you for how well you did during your essential quarantine and when you say you didn't do anything he says some cheesy stuff about manliness

“bro i'm so proud of you for getting through it!” “i didn't do anything kiri-” “don't say that! it takes so much energy and manliness to keep in self isolation and get better, you did amazing”

tokoyami:

i love birds

also look at baby toko he's so cute

do birds get sick?

anyways

tokoyami is like.. helpful but tries to be undercover about it

he's not gonna ignore you or anything

he's the type to like silently nudge teachers into your area so they could see you were clearly sick and send you back to the dorms to rest

but he'd never actually ask you or tell anyone

it would ruin his whole ~vibe~

dark shadow tells him to tell someone and he rlly does especially if he sees you struggling through it in class but he's also just not great at talking with people so a nudge or “secret note” will have to do

it does work, you're in your dorm right before combat training because mic had sent you up and excused you

mic is sweet he said he'd send aizawa up when he finds him but that you should rest

he also tells you that you have some really attentive friends

you're at this point just letting the sickness take over you so you have no idea what he just said (you heard him but the words just didn't register in your brain)

you get into bed and the first thing you do is sleep through afternoon classes

tokoyami is only at 50% today and so is dark shadow

tokoyami swears he isn't worried, the teachers are capable of taking care of you in an appropriate manner so that you will recover in no time

dark shadow on the other hand is all gittery and doesn't wanna focus on anything but you

off topic but i just think dark shadow is tokoyamis way of showing emotions or well like… like his internal thoughts? not like his internal dialogue but ya know his feelings

so he can act all goth and dramatic but dark shadow is a good way of still giving some of his feelings an output

back to you

so training is over and so is your nap

but you wake up to pillows, stuffed animals, blankets and more pillows surrounding you

half of them weren't yours either

they laid around you like some kind of pillow fortress jusy surrounding you and making sure you didn't hit your head on the wall or fall from the bed

it kinda felt like a nest- oh

you tried getting up, your head almost immediately flinging uoh back into bed but you needed to see if a certain someone would come back in to build the nest

“dark shadow, be quiet we don't want them to w- oh you're up”

tokoyami came in with more stuffies and an extra blanket like it was a siberian winter and your rooms only source of warmth was an almost dying candle

“are those yours?” you asked half asleep, your head absolutely booming

you could barely keep your eyes open, that's how exhausted you were but you made an effort to smile at the bird and his shadow

“uh no, yaomomo-san insisted on making some blankets for you and hagakure-san, ashido-san and uraraka-san gave me all their stuffed animals when they heard i was paying you a visit-” “but the blue star blanket and teardrop pillow are from fumi!! he brought them from home because he can't sleep without them!!” “DARK SHADOW!”

you only chuckled before breaking out in a cough again

aizawa came in some time after and had a hard time finding you under all the blankets and stuffies and even offered to tell the class to stop bothering you

but you just laid there all cozy and told him to let them be

“it's how he shows affection, it's nice”

monoma:

oh so the 1A student got sick??? huh??? I thought 1A was invincible hUUUUUUH??? *manic laughter*

coughs

anyways

so basically the two hero courses are more “in tune” after the joint training

they often have dinners together and it isn't rare to see kendo come over with monoma and tetsu^4

she came over to hang with the girls and tetsu had training sessions with kiri

nobody rlly knew why monoma tagged along though

all he did was spout about how average everything is for the “superior hero course”

he did secretly like the classes growing together more though

he'd sit on the couch with you and occasionally laugh about something else other than his team beating yours during joint training

one day he came in and didn't see you at your usual spot

“ehhhh??? where's the only tolerable person in this course??”

used to his lowkey insults deku pointed you out at the dinner table, head resting on your hand and looking over some homework

“y/n what are you- oh my god you look horrible”

“thanks monoma, you're as nice as ever”

your face was drained of any colour, eyes heavy lidded and you could barely control the pen that scribbled over the paper

he tried grabbing your wrist but pulled back immediately

you were way too hot and the fact that he noticed by grabbing your wrist meant that it was more than just a high fever

“is 1A that incompetent that they couldnt even notice their classmate falling sick??? can you guys do anything but trouble???”

“shut up monoma, we tried getting them to bed but they insisted on finishing up first and there's nothing in the world that can get y/n away from what they've put their head to”, kaminari yelled from the living room space

how were you gonna get anything finished if your head was falling off your shoulders if you didn't hold it up

class 1A really was incompetent

“sato-san, give me a hand”

sato, who was currently cooking up dinner, just held out his hand and some type of chocolate bar which monoma grabbed and ate up

“this is incredibly sweet, i don't know how you do it”

it's become like half a routine for monoma to copy quirks for whatever reason

kiri and tetsu used it to determine which quirk was handier

uraraka’s quirk made cleaning up after a game night easier

it was training for all of them

monoma could train his copy and the others could measure how much they've grown from his reaction to it

anyways

sato’s quirk kicked in and he lifted you up over his shoulder

“monoma!” you could barely lift your voice, faintly kicking

before you knew it he placed you on your bed in your dorm and sighed

“you're lighter than i thought”

“i think i'm gonna throw up”

so you hurled into your garbage can

monoma held back whatever there was to hold back

(he was very much disgusted but even he knew that this wasn't the time to let any type of negative emotion show)

“jolly gees y/n, what did you have for breakfast?!”

you laid in bed as he passed you a water bottle

“you need to drink something, you lost a lot of water”

“awe caring for me, monoma?”

“this is for general health, y/n. i would never as much as care for anyone, especially not a brat from 1A. who even knew that any of you could fall sick huh?! weren't you supposed to be superior to the rest of us??!”

he said all of that while putting a blanket on you and opening the window for fresh air

“god you 1A fools really are incompetent!”

he went into your bathroom and soaked a small towel in water

“i'm only doing this so you don't infect anyone. god you could cause an epidemic at UA and in the end 1b would fall victim to you as well! this is all just for the general well-being!”

you didn't even hear what he was saying anymore

with a half empty bottle next to your head, you slept peacefully

monoma let out a deep breath when he saw you

“i'd never care for anyone in 1A, i'm better than that…”

he whispered those words to himself

(he did care)

159. "I formally apologize."

160. "Of all places, Hero, you had to teleport us to a desert. A DESERT."

161. "Supervillain won't stop unless we team up." "I don't think our alliance will stop them, I think it'll just make them angrier."

162. "Stop singing or I will blow this place until even the last atom is broken into itty-bitty molecules!" "That... that is scientifically impossible."

163. "I'm a genius! Yippee!"

164. "Life isn't perfect and nor is your morals."

165. "Control yourself before you kill everyone around you."

166. "Say your goodbyes."

167. "Of all the ways I've died, drowning was by far the nicest."
