#im... im a little distracted👁👁

[wumutummy]

I'm... a little distracted👁

[szilverer]

am gonna try to note down the Estival Experience for the ghostie for once. it likely wont be nearly as formative as their first one but i really regretted not doing this at the time & Who Knows where this is going so. rambling time

how was Reisz' first Estival day? Well,

they had a migraine for the first time in months – fucking hell, this is the one thing they don't miss from the days pre-devouring – and then promptly got so silly singing with the rats they got tossed straight into the Mirror-Marches. Their 4th time ever! [oopsie.]

a mimir...

You know, they like it there. They try their damn best not to end up in the Marches because they like it there. Parabola is the only place they can sleep rather easily without the need to tire themself out or take substances, and in the Marches no one is in actual danger of perhaps getting caught on their occasional sleepwalking sleepglassworking, so. They get to feel relaxed for once. Reisz likes it there, and that makes it dangerous.

In any case, the very fact they got tossed in one of their comfort places means they huh. They probably aren't very happy with all this frantic reality bending going on, and this was their body's way of letting them know? The Is is meant to Be Stable, and they need somewhere Stable when they need a break from the mirror.

Ugh, perhaps they have a motive to try to fix things after all.

siiighs. aight. here we go again.

The First Second day of Estival: Out from the Marches, into the streets. Southwark was as happy as they imagined.

taking the opportunity to mention here that they used to be the Implacable Detective's pupil long ago on their pre-POSI days! they aren't friends, though. but there's respect here. she was also their Dilmun Club sponsor. also taking the opportunity to mention that Reisz cares so little about the Masters (besides Heartsy <3) at this point that they. genuinely struggle to name them all so this text is extra funny to me. they can't get names right when all is normal, imagine rn.

Okay. Now Where Is The Embassy.

i gotta say i really really Really like how this ties into the previous mini-event we just had + acquiring the Neighbourhood Noctivagant quality. chefs kiss narrative progression. this cryptid Cannot get lost, baby!!

It's been a long while since I last went through the starter areas so the geographical refresher of landmarks with the PC resituating themself has been nice. This one bit in particular is quite relevant to the ghostie as they moved from Veilgarden to the Marshes very very often around their pre & early POSI days so this street must be the most familiar of all to them.

the embassy wasnt here but we found it on our second try (might be scripted. idk). Rei walks around in devilish fashion & its probably quite known around bc of their incredibly disputed soul (thanks FOTR), but they're not partial to Hell or anything, so it's no wonder they got kicked out as soon as they got spotted.

oh well. they heard enough!

Back to the homies. They are playing chess. Chess always makes them think back to Evolution, to the time they played & trained so much they became quite proficient, the time the Naturalist cheered just behind their s-

Agh. No time for that. Specially not with a migraine.

(reisz voice) so true bestie. it does sound more fun

then suddenly,

the WAY the mental imagery this gave me made me laugh irl. i could picture it so vividly, one panel with the ghostie & the detective on side profile looking at the pieces very calmly, then the window in the middle of the frame EXPLODING IN A MILLION GLASS PIECES. motion blur and all. 10/10

OMGGGG HIII😭 FINALLY A REIGEN REQUEST. no no ofc youre not asking for too much i actually got so happy when i saw ur request😭💞💞

⠄･ ⋆ ･ ⠄⠂⋆ ･ ⠄⠂⋆ ･ ⠄⠄･ ⋆ ･ ⠄⠂⋆ ･ ⠄⠂⋆ ･ ⠄⠄･ ⋆ ･

Reigen leaned back in his chair, tapping a pen against his desk in a rhythm he wasn’t even aware of. You were sitting on the couch across from him, flipping through a magazine, but he couldn’t focus on anything except you. The light from the window caught on your hair, and he caught himself staring—again.

Get it together, man.

He cleared his throat, hoping the sound would distract you, but you didn’t even look up. It wasn’t like he wanted you to notice him staring or anything—it’d just make this whole thing more embarrassing. Still, his chest tightened at the sight of you so at ease, like this was any other day.

For you, it probably was.

For him? It was torture.

He’d known you forever, back when your biggest concerns were playground fights and scraped knees. Back then, he thought he had all the time in the world to figure out why being around you felt different. But here you were, all grown up, sitting just a few feet away, and he still hadn’t figured out how to deal with this... this feeling.

He rubbed the back of his neck, pretending to look busy as his thoughts raced.

How do you even say something like that? “Hey, remember how we used to play tag? Yeah, well, now I’m in love with you.” Great plan, Reigen. That’s not awkward at all.

“Something on your mind?” Your voice broke through his spiral.

Reigen nearly dropped his pen. “Huh? No! Nothing at all!” The words came out too fast, too loud. He winced internally, watching as you raised an eyebrow at him.

“You’ve been weird all day,” you said, setting the magazine aside. “Are you okay?”

Weird? He felt his stomach drop. Had he been that obvious? “Weird? No, I’m just, uh, busy. You know how it is—clients, spirits, paperwork...” He gestured vaguely to the empty desk in front of him.

Your lips twitched like you were trying not to laugh. “Uh-huh. Sure.”

He groaned, slumping forward onto his desk. “Alright, fine. Maybe I’m a little distracted.”

You tilted your head, watching him curiously. “Distracted by what?”

By you.

He wanted to say it. The words were right there, lodged in his throat, but every time he tried to let them out, he froze. What if you didn’t feel the same way? What if he ruined everything?

“I’ve just been thinking about... stuff,” he said instead, his voice a little quieter.

“Stuff,” you repeated, your tone teasing.

“Yeah, stuff,” he shot back, sitting up straight. He ran a hand through his hair, trying to act casual. “Big, important, grown-up stuff. You wouldn’t understand.”

You rolled your eyes, but there was a softness in your expression that made his chest ache. “Sure, Reigen. Whatever you say.”

The silence that followed was heavy, but not uncomfortable. He could hear the faint hum of the air conditioner, the occasional creak of the building settling. And through it all, his mind kept circling back to the same thought:

Just tell her.

But he couldn’t. Not yet. Instead, he leaned forward, resting his elbows on the desk. “Hey,” he said, his tone lighter now, “remember when we were kids, and you tripped during that school play? You faceplanted right in front of the whole class.”

Your laugh was immediate, bright and genuine. “You were the one who told me to run in those stupid shoes!”

“Hey, I was trying to help!” he said, grinning despite himself. “Besides, you still got a standing ovation. Well, mostly out of pity, but it counts.” You threw a magazine at him, and he caught it easily, laughing as he tossed it back onto the couch.

Moments like this were why he couldn’t say anything. Why he couldn’t risk losing you.

But as he watched you laugh, saw the way your eyes lit up and your shoulders relaxed, he felt that familiar pang in his chest. He’d been holding this in for years, telling himself it wasn’t the right time, that he’d figure it out later.

Later was starting to feel like a cop-out.

“Hey,” he said, his voice softer now.

You looked at him, your laughter fading into a small, curious smile. “Yeah?”

He hesitated, his fingers drumming against the desk. He wanted to tell you. He needed to tell you. But instead, he shook his head, a small smile tugging at his lips. “Never mind.”

Your brow furrowed, but you didn’t press him. “Okay,” you said, standing and stretching. “I’m gonna go buy a drink. You want anything?”

“No, I’m good,” he said, watching as you walked toward the exit.

The moment you were out of sight, he let out a long sigh, leaning back in his chair.

'One day,' he promised himself. 'One day, I'll tell her.' But for now? He'd just have to settle for this.

---

Reigen tapped his fingers on the desk, his mind racing as he listened to the sound of you entering the office again. You were just a few steps away, and yet the distance felt insurmountable. His heart pounded in his chest, loud enough that he was sure you’d hear it when you came back.

You can’t keep chickening out like this. She’s been your best friend for years. If anyone’s going to understand, it’s her.

But what if you didn’t? What if you laughed, or worse, pitied him? He shook his head, trying to shove the thought away. Before he could second-guess himself again, you reappeared, holding a can of soda. You glanced at him, your brows knitting together. “You’re being weird again.”

“Am not” he shot back, too quickly.

You set the glass down on the table and crossed your arms, giving him a look that told him you weren’t buying it. “Reigen.”

The way you said his name—it wasn’t accusing or impatient. It was soft, full of concern, and it made his stomach twist. He ran a hand through his hair, letting out a long sigh.

“Alright, fine. You got me. I’ve been... off” he admitted, his voice quieter now.

You stepped closer, sitting on the edge of his desk. “What’s going on? You can talk to me, you know.”

That was the problem. He could talk to you—about anything, really. You’d always been there, always listened, even when he rambled about ridiculous clients or over-the-top exorcisms. But this? This was different. Still, the way you were looking at him now, with that quiet patience and trust, made something in him snap. He couldn’t keep holding it in.

“I... There’s something I’ve been meaning to tell you,” he started, his voice faltering. Your expression softened, and you leaned forward slightly, waiting.

He took a deep breath, his palms sweating as he rubbed them against his pants. “Look, I know this might sound... weird, or out of nowhere, but it’s not. I’ve been sitting on this for years, and honestly, I’m tired of pretending it’s not there.”

You tilted your head, your brows furrowing. “Reigen, what are you—”

“I like you,” he blurted out, cutting you off. Then, as if realizing how ridiculous he sounded, he winced and quickly corrected himself. “No, I mean... I really like you. Like, more-than-friends kind of like.”

The words hung in the air, heavier than anything he’d ever said before. He couldn’t bring himself to look at you, his eyes fixed firmly on the desk as he continued.

“I know I’m not the most... normal guy. I’ve got my flaws, my quirks—probably too many to count. But you’ve stuck around anyway, and that’s meant more to me than I can even put into words. And somewhere along the way, I stopped thinking of you as just my best friend and started thinking of you as... everything, hell, even my mom thinks we're dating.” His chest felt tight, his pulse hammering in his ears. He dared a glance at you, and the look on your face made him pause. You weren’t laughing or frowning. You were just staring at him, wide-eyed, like you were trying to process what he’d just said.

“I don’t expect you to feel the same way,” he added quickly, his voice a little more frantic now. “And if this messes things up, I get it. But I couldn’t keep this to myself anymore. I just... I needed you to know.”

The silence that followed was unbearable. Reigen felt like the ground might open up and swallow him whole. His heart was pounding so loudly he was sure you could hear it.

And then, you smiled.

It wasn’t a big, dramatic smile. It was small, soft, and warm, the kind of smile that made his breath catch in his throat.

“You’re such an idiot,” you said, your voice teasing but full of affection.

He blinked, caught off guard. “What?”

“I’ve liked you for years, Reigen,” you admitted, your cheeks flushing. “I thought it was obvious.”

His jaw dropped, and for a moment, he was completely speechless. Then, he let out a laugh—part disbelief, part relief—as he ran a hand through his hair. “You’re kidding. You’re kidding, right?”

You shook your head, your smile widening. “Nope. Dead serious.”

Reigen leaned back in his chair, staring up at the ceiling as he let out a long breath. “Well, now I feel like an idiot.”

You laughed, and the sound was like music to his ears. “You should.”

He sat up, looking at you with a grin that was equal parts sheepish and overjoyed. “So... does this mean you’d be okay with me, uh, taking you out to dinner? As, you know, more-than-friends?”

You rolled your eyes, but your smile didn’t fade. “Yeah, I’d be more than okay with that.”

“Great!” he said, standing up and holding out his hand dramatically. “Well then, allow me to escort you to the finest ramen shop in town.”

You took his hand, laughing as he pulled you to your feet. “You’re such an idiot..”

“Yeah, but I’m your idiot now!!” he shot back, winking.

And as the two of you walked out of the office together, Reigen couldn’t help but feel like, for the first time in a long time, he’d actually done something right.

Finally, i wanna thank one of my older brothers. He was the first person to ever introduce me to SMG4 when I was a bit younger back in around 2017-2018. He would make me watch videos with him and before I was like “it seems funny and cool” but never really got into it until 2024 when I decided to try checking it out and got into this fandom before eventually going on socials. He was also just someone who introduced me to a lot of media and I can’t thank him enough <3

—————————🎭🍭—————————

ALRIGHT LOVE YOU GUYSSSSS MWAH MWAH /plat

(Drawing sucky cause I made it on Thursday lala-)

[remcycl333]

Remiii so I’m the type of persona to just read a success story and wanna do what they do BUT I don’t bc I’m tryna persist in my affirmations, but even so I’ve kept a mental diet around manifesting xyz for a minimum of 2 weeks I even did the 10k affirmations challenge and NADA! I didn’t check the 3D and I know I’m checking the 3D rn and not persisting with my affirmations but I’m so over it already bc it’s been a MINIMUM of 2 weeks that I’ve done this and I ain’t see no results when it’s not supposed to take more than 3 days 😭😭😭. Also yes it’s for the void 👁

so im gonna tell you a little personal anecdote!

at the beginning of my manifestation journey, i really wanted to manifest my ex back. this was a couple of years ago now. i had learned to manifest in steps, so my first step was to manifest him to text me. i wanted this text instantly so i constantly over-consumed (loa tumblr didnt exist at the time so i watched youtube vid after youtube vid) and after a day of affirming id get mad and watch another vid and google "how to instantly manifest a text" etc even tho i already knew exactly how to do it. i'd occasionally get a text but then my sp would ghost me again and i'd spiral and form new limiting beliefs and eventually i was just so fed up.

then in may 2021, i decided i'd keep a STRICT mental diet and persist until my manifestation showed up. it was hard at first, because i (like a lot of my anons) would occasionally freak out and wonder if i was actually doing everything right. but i would affirm "yes, ofc im doing everything right" and continue persisting.

it took me three weeks to manifest this text. i started at the beginning of may, and i woke up to a text from my sp on may 21st. (don't ask how i remember that date lol) so it took 21 days aka 3 weeks. the day before i got that text, i had a little breakdown about how long it was taking and i said "no rem, you're doing everything right he's gonna text you" and i forced myself to affirm and distract myself from my spiral. and then very next day i got a text.

the thing with persisting is that you have to do it until it manifests. no matter how long it takes. i know it can feel like it's not working because you've been going for so long with no visible movement, but i promise it will manifest as long as you keep going.

ofc you can manifest in 3 days or less, but if it takes longer than 3 days don't assume that's because you're doing something wrong or it's not working. that assumption will only keep it from you longer!! just keep affirming, and you can even throw in some self-concept affs like "my 3d conforms instantly" "my affirmations manifest instantly" "everything i affirm shows up in my 3D instantly" etc!!

you got this!! you will enter the void one way or another, just keep going no matter how long it takes!! <3

[gay-dorito-dust]

But that's why it's so fun though. There's definitely the surface level canon story.

It's fun to think, what if? Especially with easter eggs or vague elements showing the tiniest connection to another. Someone had to create that, so maybe they had an idea the viewer would too. If so, then what would the story look like if this connection is canon. Bonus points if it is canon and theres tiny nuggets all over the place. Im looking at you, eldren ring 😘👅. Overall, it expands the story and adds depth, and who doesn't like that. (Trick question: NO ONE)

Lmao YOU KNOW he was waiting!! The pan away shot was so the audience couldn't see the filthy smirk on his face after saying that. Leon is totally a "fun guy" at heart *snaps finger guns*. Definitely loves to crack jokes. It's just given his surroundings and the situation he usually in, it's totally not called for. Especially his type of...humor, which already isn't that funny in a normal environment. Then when he says it, it's a double "Oh hell no." for me, dawg.

AHHHHH lmaooo you like his jokes! You're more whipped me than! 🤣 I'm shriveling up. A chocolate eclair 💀 we gotta build that up! (I can't talk mine is as tough as extra firm tofu)

Fr I totally understand. I'd feel bad especially since he's trying to lighten the environment, plus I know he hates this more than I do. Replace me with Ashley and all I hear are gunshots, goreish noises, and foreign yelling 24/7...👁👄👁 I'm listening to "Leon's jokes on a 10 hour loop" (some of them). I'd have to scrape up the courage to think of jokes and not hyper fixating on my environment and future death or Leon's back 😉.

I'd either beg Leon for a mercy kill or do it myself. I'm not built for that world. Also if Leon actually said that, he'd get 1 good noodle star, cuz that actually made me laugh.🤡

I'm hollering!! I was thinking the same thing but couldn't find the meme!!! Thank you!!🥹

Leon is a frat party and a Bang energy drink (the only option) with a plate of hooters wings away from being the "you're not that guy pal". Maybe the trauma was worth it.

(Again sorry for any grammar mistake. I can't read or write)

I love a game with little nuggets that subtly connect to one another to weave an story beneath the common storyline. It just gives you more insight to…well everything! It’s one of my favourites that the game developers are like ‘we’re gonna give long time players a treat and new time players a fun thing to unravel.’

Ngl, Leon would single-handedly give me brain rot so bad that I start doing crappy, half asses one liners.

It’s a disease and he’s the cause.

It ain’t my fault that Leon is so unbelievably pretty! My kryptonite is pretty boys and unfortunately Leon is on-top of the list for prettiest boys!

All he’d have to do if flash me a smile and I’d be like; 😩 😳😖🥵🤤🫠

The trauma Leon has been through had altered him so much so that his coping mechanisms are to make shitty one liners to EVERYTHING.

He thinks he’s a cool kid at heart, we know that ain’t true. He’s a dorky dork that thinks his humour is the shit.

Me: Leon go to therapy, you’re obviously not okay.

Leon: Therapy is for losers and I am no loser😎

Me: you’ve missed 6 appointments, the jokes got to stop-

In all fairness he probs doesn’t think therapy would work out for him at all and also over works himself to the bone. I remember someone saying that the reasons for Leon being jacked as all hell in re4 is so he doesn’t get taken by surprise anymore.

My baby needs a hug but he’d probably be so on edge and alert that I wouldn’t be able to without triggering his fight or flight responses.

I’d get too distracted by Leon’s ass and have a deep debate within myself whether or not it’s be inappropriate to slap it. Also Leon doesn’t skip leg day. He’s got nice thighs, and arms…and back…nice tits…

Leon probably would drink bang energy in means of staying up at night. How he finds out about bang is anyones guess.

BEING FOLLOWED

Hello👁👄👁 Back from the dead with a follow up!

https://www.tumblr.com/emmacreatures/713882220790775808/trying-a-way-out

Its been taking forever but waiting with these helps more with perfecting what can be perfected in personal perspective! A follow up on "Trying a way out"💕 Featuring a lot of Lyle x Ter'ran and Ka'am and Quaritch! Hope you guys enjoy! I'm busy on the follow up on this, but since it takes a while, I figured instead of one massive story, to divide it into two!

As the silence hit, Ka'am, who walked over to his own corner, grabbed some of his homemade powerful tobacco.. Watching his prisoner who had no chains, robes or anything that would hold him here. For Quaritch exhaled and got himself to focus better after sensing all scents around him, he knew he had to focus well in order to get out of there, with Lyle.. Who seemed to have been a pain in the ass as always. If it wasnt for his bold behavior, there werent here by now. "I feel like your nature isnt so common with negotiation. But I was hoping we could come down to some kind of agreeance. Something that would suit us both" Quaritch decided to take a gentle approach, leaving Ka'am to glare while he inhaled some of the smoke before letting it blow out through his nose, putting his pipe away. "Why would you think I'd care to negotiate.." Ka'am replied, allowing the tension to build up, for Quaritch narrowed his eyes a bit while he didnt move. "You wouldnt want to watch those two for ages would you. I feel like you have better things to do. I can take those off your shoulders" Quaritch dared to say, keeping an eye on Ka'am who looked him in the eye once, before he slowly lingered in the room with a threatening aura. "I have men and women to do that for me, so that excuse shall not help you" Ka'am said before he stood still, but Quaritch wasnt done yet. "You or them, it takes a lot of time.. Its still thrown away time in my eyes." "So what do you suggest? Run off, and take your kind with you, whatever you may be" Ka'am said with a glare. Quaritch still had not explained what he was exactly. Sure, he had navi skin. Navi breathing.. Navi heartbeat, but his muscles were outstanding compared to the usual. His ears were different, the hair was uncommon. Despite Ka'am's major curiosity which was uncommon on this rate that he was on.. He felt like it distracted him, and he was tired of having to watch them. It was confusing. Part of him wanted to know every detail of them.. Or more so, him. But he knew this could make him distracted in a way that would show a weak link.. and thats the thing that pissed Ka'am off for now.

Not only that, but having found out somehow his second in command, Ter'ran, had been mixing himself in a way he couldnt figure out yet.. It made Ka'am make decisions two steps ahead before people could catch up. he felt betrayed by the fact Ter'ran had kept it a secret, in the hope no one would see, but like Quaritch, Ka'am saw everything and would find out sooner or later. Meanwhile as Quaritch noticed Ka'am thinking, trying to come with the best solution, Naraya ran into the room, bowing gently before saying what happened. "Our great leader.. The prisoner, has woken up, and is very.. defensive about anything. He wont low down the voice either". That was the final drop for Ka'am. "i'm tired of having to deal with your kind. You might as well take yourself out, your 'friend' included" Ka'am said as he glared at Quaritch, who was surprised about the sudden kick out, but he could sense this wasnt going to be easy despite a door literally just opened. Having given a small sign to naraya, she poked Quaritch with a stick to make him go in a specific direction, noticing he wasnt having it "Keep that thing away from me-" "Move alien" naraya said despite she had her ears folded.. Quaritch was intimidating, but she knew she had to follow orders from ka'am as she always did. As they all had moved up towards the specific cells, Naraya had gotten the hint and info from Ka'am to open the doors, for Lyle took his chance to immediately go out, but Ter'ran.. Sensed this wasnt going to be fun. "You both. Leave the terrain.. Away, and do not look back." "Oh? So now your beloved leader decided to let us go. I aint going without him" Lyle said as Quaritch glared, knowing he was going to be the biggest pain in the ass. "Lyle. I'm your only way out-" "I dont fucking care. I dont even want it" Lyle said as Quaritch tried to talk to Lyle, but he really seemed ultimately pissed off despite all of this was his own fault.

"no. fight me all you want. " he said as he noticed Ka'am watching them all behave, as his eyes did give him the major chills, yet the idiot.. decided to go over the limits. "You know.. You- The way you treat your men is insane. You're bull. You treat your second in command like garbage, like a PRISONER. How sick do you have to be to pull that huh?" Lyle said as he approached Ka'am, pointing at him as it was the biggest danger one could think off.. two followers of Ka'am protected him by holding their bow and arrow towards Lyle, but Ka'am.. Who had a silent rage inside of him already, watched Lyle as he saw him far below himself.. "you want to get us killed?!" Ter'ran whispered for Ka'am watched them in silence, looking at Ter'ran before showing one small sight to lyle.. It took a while before any message came through again, the whole room felt extremelt tense. "Alright.." Ka'am only said, making Ter'ran feel a chill down his spine. "Ter'ran-" "You son of a bitch, dont you dare hurt him-" "LYLE." The second Lyle assumed Ka'am would do something cruel, Quaritch stepped in before Lyle could get them all killed, calling him firmly as the silence then hit again.. "Is it true?" Ka'am asked like it was the most normal thing there was, watching Ter'ran step closer to Ka'am who had called him before. Two guards held Lyle away from this all, as he watched closely.. Protective. "Do you wish to not be here" Ka'am said low and dark, for Ter'ran felt hopeless in this whole situation.. "I-.." Ter'ran couldnt talk, but it made it clear for Ka'am.. With a simple nod, he made Naraya step forward, for she grabbed his arm, and cut off a single piece of leather at his arm.. With that, he now was banned from the group. Broken loyalty. "Let them go, far away from here" Ka'am demanded as everyone made Lyle, Quaritch and Ter'ran now form together in a group.. "Step one foot among these grounds, and I'll kill you myself. Your group included" Ka'am gave his last warning towards Quaritch and the others, stepping away as they had no chance to say anything anymore. Ter'ran knew what hit him, but feeling Lyle so close and protective, made him focus on getting out of there before the arrows would follow..

"Common.. Lets get the hell out of here" Lyle said as he noticed Ter'ran being silent, going over his arm that used to have that specific piece around it.. Before frowning of some kind of anger and getting out of there.. "They dont deserve you- You know that right" Lyle kept on confirming that he found Ka'am's behavior a piece of shit.. Seeing Ter'ran hurt in some type of way made Lyle especially furious.. But at this rate, he hadnt thought of how Quaritch and the rest of the team would respond to Lyle's invite for Ter'ran. "you can be part of us now. Its gonna be so much better than how he treated you.-" "so he's suddenly part of our group?" Quaritch said as he glared at Lyle, mainly because this whole occurence was his fault. "if you want to fight me for it be my guest." Lyle said very pissed, protecting Ter'ran in his own way while they went out of the part that Ka'am claimed of his own. Just the glare of Quaritch at this rate sent Lyle to furious mode. "you really want to test me right now colonel?" He said almost as an invite to a fight.. Making Ter'ran come through. "Come Lyle.. We've had enough for one day" He said as he kept on walking, but Lyle kept watching Quaritch who showed no mercy at this rate. "watch your tongue corporal. You've done enough illegal stuff for one day" he said pissed as well, looking back as he could just feel those piercing eyes from Ka'am burn into his back.. Looking around a bit to see if he could find them, before following both Ter'ran and Lyle away from here.

After a while, Ter'ran noticed they were out of Ka'am's territory, mentioning it to the two for Lyle and Quaritch had a rocky road the whole time with each other.. "If you would've just listened and not taken your own decisions for ONCE, We're lucky to be even alive" Quaritch eventually said as they had an ongoing argument for hours now.. Making Lyle reach his boiling point. "Since when are you scared? I'm so sick and tired of you all the sudden taking different routes. Fucking admit you have a weak spot because of-" "no. he's right." Ter'ran interupted as he leaned against a tree, being less forward than usual because the realization of the banishment hit him.. "This is one of the most rare occassions that any prisoners got out. In the years i've been around Ka'am. this is a first. Just acknowledge it please. Stop making a fight all the time" Ter'ran said as Quaritch glared but Lyle almost smirked, thinking this wasnt aimed at him. "I dont take orders kid." he replied, for Ter'ran folded his ears and glared. "I wasnt talking to you" he said before continuing to walk for Lyle realized it was aimed at him.. Trying to shake it off a little as he sensed Ter'ran wasnt feeling it, which made him more cautiois for once. As he continued walking, the other two followed, doing the same. "Well despite your lame ass 'friend' or leader whatever you may call it... If its so rare for him to do so, why did he do it anyhow" "I honestly dont know. He never leaves anyone alive.. No prisoner ever came out of there" Ter'ran said as he kept walking, feeling a little bit more at ease now that they were out of his grounds. "We're 'offically' off his huntinh grounds, so we should be safe from here on out.." Ter'ran said before the group from Quaritch did a sneak attack towards Ter'ran, making sure that he wasnt going anywhere.. But of course they couldnt know that Ter'ran wasnt there to lure them or do anything bad.. But it sure drove Lyle mad.

"GET YOUR HANDS OFF HIM YOU FUCKING-" Lyle said as he fought his own men the second they dared to touch Ter'ran or pushed him onto the ground with hiccups due to the man's build and strength.. Eventually being able to pull them away or even hit them firmly.. Leaving Quaritch to call for them to bacj off. "He's no harm... Yet. But keep an eye on him. On Lyle too.. Especially after today" Quaritch said with a glare as he passed the teo, as the squad followed.. "You're okay?" "I'm fine" Ter'ran said pissed, pushing himself up again while hitting Lyle's hand to make him step back a little, before following the group, making Lyle who watched Ter'ran's body language just shake his head. "The hell you're not." he whispered before following.. All going back to bridgehead.

Quaritch had not explained in detail to the group what happened, for he himself felt like he didnt feel like explaining. There was so much to it, but he did make sure to eat and drink well.. since that was something Ka'am had no mercy for.. As he got himself back together, he kept an eye in Lyle and the so called Ter'ran.. Who still was not feeling comfortable.. Despite Quaritch still had quite some questions, he had his own mind swirling. Full of thoughts, wanting answers. Just merely being drawn to something he hadnt seen before. But most importantly, almost what seemed to be daydreaming about deadly eyes that seemed different to him... Meanwhile as Quaritch just felt like puzzling in his own complicated mind, Lyle was right next to Ter'ran who was not behaving like himself in his eyes. Lyle however made sure everyone backed off far enough when the recom squad wanted to try and put ter'ran somewhere locked.. Considering he was a 'wild' navi to them..

"Tell me what the fuck there is and quit the bullshit Ter'ran. I aint know you like this.." Lyle said as he stayed near despite his frustration. Seeing his loved one so near made him feel all kinds of things, and now that they were out of ka'am's control for a bit, he didnt feel like parting an inch anytime soon. "You really dont realize huh.. Your peanut brain sure seems active" Ter'ran said snappy, making Lyle glare but not in a true angry way. "I've been banned. Lyle-" "The fuck- When did that happen?" Lyle said obliviously in which Ter'ran sighed so loudly. "god I just want to hit you so badly-" "What way?" Lyle said with a smirk as he stood in a way he knew Ter'ran would love.. But instead he did receive a slap in the face by ter'ran. "I wanted to say be my fucking guest if it helps you- Just hold on for a minute cowboy" Lyle said rather direct, going over his cheek that he got hit with before stepping more close to Ter'ran who leaned against a metal wall somewhwre in bridgehead.. His arms crossed now.. Despite all he didnt even feel like fighting when Ter'ran hit him in the face.. He could tell the man was destressed.. "JUST- i dont like seeing you like this. Okay?? I know you as someone who's as daring and bold as I am.. Whats gotten into you?" Lyle said as Ter'ran glared almost with a follow up of a hiss. "you see this, its- Why would I even explain at this rate, you're too oblivious to realize-" "TELL me now or I will make sure you'll talk" Lyle said as Ter'ran sighed more soft.. Pointing at his arm.

"Each member of our clan.. Would make this thing around our arm.. Its stuff that only breaks when you cut it with a specific knife. Its supposedy should be there at all times, like a loyalty. I broke the loyalty, so I'm banned from the grounds until further notice" "And this bugs you because??? You've always been a rebel. Do you even remember what we started with" Lyle said out in the open, being focused on his man as Ter'ran pushed him away a bit in a TSK way.. before replying. "I always was a bit of an outcast.. Now I dont belong to anything-" "That 'friend' of yours sure made a big ass impacr on you. Who the fuck cares if you're part of something. The way that.. Kalal dude treated you.. Thats no respect, or good measure.. He shitted on you in ways I didnt even know people could-" "Its ka'am-" Ka'am-Kalal he can suck it. No need to defend his name here Ter'ran because newsflash.. He BANNED you" Lyle said pretty angry, before sighing, letting his own rough hand wipe over his face. "But hey- His loss.. you're part of our group now-" "Says who.." "Says me" Lyle said pretty damn clear, taking it really serious for Ter'ran looked around. "The last time your welcoming group was near, they tried to lock me up. Thats quite an invite" Ter'ran said realistically, making Lyle look around with a glare in case they tried anything. "They have to get used to someone whose intimidating.. I bet you can floor them all.. I'd happily watch that" Lyle said before he noticed Ter'ran's ears fold out of slight discomfort.. "Hey- Realize as well.. Look at us, back again" Lyle said as he stepped closer to wrap his hands around the man's bare waist.. Pulling him closer as Ter'ran avoided a little bit of eye contact, watching Lyle's chest while listening.. "You belong to me okay. This is my world. You're part of it. You'll always have a home here. No matter if they'll make it difficult for me. I'll kick everyone's ass" He said as Ter'ran eventually laughed once "You have no idea how stupid that sounds" he said before looking up.. Making the realization hit Lyle was indeed back after all those years.. As their eyes met in a place where they were allowed to.. Ter'ran almost felt his breath taken away for a second as he could see clear throigh them.. Which made him reach out to Lyle's face.. Going over his skin and cheek..

"You're not gonna cry are you? I can see why.. I baffle alot of people" "I fucking hate you" ter'ran said before Lyle sensed someone passing them "Yeah keep on walking PAL. You fucking better-" Lyle said as he was like the worst pitbull, glaring and almosg hissing at the individual who passed them who pretty much ran away at this point.. Small things like that were exactly the things that Ter'ran was obsessed about.. With that.. Ter'ran just leaned more into Lyle before making him look back.. "So where were we?" Lyle said swept away the second he felt assurance from Ter'ran.. something he so deeply missed. His other half. Before ter'ran hummed.. Loving to see where this man is heading with his mind.. But even before anything could escalate.. Lyle heard footsteps coming towards them. "You've got to be-" "Easy Lyle. I rather not fire you for being inconsiderate to your environment" Quaritch said rather clear as he glared "I aint ashamed. You know full well you gave no fucks back in the day. Get your own" Lyle said without much thought as he kept on holding on Ter'ran, having no intentions on letting go for the next hours. Before he sighed. "What do you want Colonel" he asked as Quaritch looked at Ter'ran. "I need you to show some more respect. And second, do not allow me to catch you both out in the open. You owe me an explanation. Now go before you disturb everyone around you-" Quaritch said loud and clear for Lyle was about to have an argument, but Ter'ran who at this rate knew better, pulled Lyle along to go somewhwre more private.. Even Quaritch knew what was to occur, sighing as he looked around before watching the sun turn to darkness..

Quaritch was feeling a little out of place for once. Not that he shared that with the rest.. He was secretive in his own way.. His mind kept on questioning things he, despite all his own experiences which he had many off, had never felt or seen before. Being a navi now, it was easy to just go outside and take a breather, unlike being a human, trapped in those 'containers with oxygen'.. Always being watched.. He wanted some peace of mind, but along that thought, he wanted to dig.. see where things could lead. It was like a whirlwind inside of his brain. While he wanted to find some way out of it, all the sudden, while sitting outside with eclipse, he swore to have seen something watch him.. For Quaritch sat on the metal floor that poked slightly over the jungle below him.. He narrowed eyes as he sat up.. Unlike most who would call 'hello' he just waited, before hearing something move in the bushes..

Out of pure instinct, he grabbed his gun and pointed, just waiting for any type of movement. But nothing seemed to be there. At least, that was what whatever there was wanted you to think. Not shooting but waiting, he decided to stand there for as long as he felt like, eventually hearing some type of movement, but invisible to the eye. Quaritch's gut told him something was out there.. But he couldnt see a thing.. Making him stand there for a whole hour before going back in.. At this rate, it was about past midnight, so most doctors, scientists and most employees were off to bed.. Quaritch, who at first was aiming for the same thing, saw an opportunity when he saw the unused computers, deciding to do one more check to see if his gut was wrong or right.. Turning the camera towards the outside area he had been sitting, he activated the specific lense in which you could see the temperatures.. Noticing a slight figure, around the bush he heard movement for a split second. He couldnt make out of it of what it was.. but after trying several lenses that the whole system had.. He finally saw it. A whole thanator had been laying on the ground, as silent as the wind, for no one to notice, but Quaritch deeply inside did.. 'why would a thanator rest there.. Or more importantly, watch.' he thought, narrowing his eyes as his tail subconsciously moved a little. Even if he would've shot, the thanator's skin is too thick to get through.. No matter what would happen, that animal would be able to stay under the radar. He realized these animals are much more advanced than the ones back at earth..

But Quaritch had a feeling this was much more thought out than what it seemed.. Through the electronics, he couldnt see much other than the shape of a thanator.. Making him grab his binoculars.. And to his surprise notices right there, the animal went back in more deep into the jungle.. Watching it through the binoculars, he noticed one specific scar.. One of an animal he had seen upclose not a few hours ago. "Son of a bitch.." he whispered.. Figuring it out. That definitely made him push even further.. He was wide awake. He didnt want to sleep.. All he wanted to do now, is track the damn beast, see where it would lead to.. Without much distractions, Quaritch shut any relation to his search down before going to his own room, getting some things ready.

As the thanator was crawling through the jungle, like the best hunter around, almost replicating his owner's behavior.. It perfectly walked up to Ka'am's liar.. All ka'am's followers usually stepped aside for his thanator at any moment. Ka'am, who was sitting on his somewhat throne, breathing out the usual smoke as he certainly was having more of it due to the big occurences the last hours... he sighed.. Having his eyes closed as he needed the extra.. Nicotine or whatever was in that heavy stuff he smoked. Hearing the breathing of his thanator, he opened his eyes as he snapped the large animal to come near him, right next to his throne. As it lend out one of his connecting pieces to make tsaheylu.. Ka'am quickly connected his own Kuru before watching what his thanator had been watching.. Keeping an eye on the specific recom that had seemed to itch Ka'am with curiosity. Looking through every detail that the Thanator had been watching.. Ka'am somehow now through the animal's memory looked better in Quaritch' eyes, throwing him off almost.. As if he felt like the man was having the same thoughts as he did.. Which would've been the first in his entire existence...

Due to that exact thought, Ka'am just abruptly disconnected his Kuru before gently going over his thanator's side of the face. 'Well done..' He showed in appreciation, exhaling once more with his smoke before stepping up.. "Lets get you something nice to eat.." He whispered in navi, walking out of his room and out of his whole 'home' before wanting to hunt something down for the thanator to eat. Of course the huge animal could hunt on his own, but he had been spying on Quaritch for Ka'am for hours.. and Ka'am with hunting for thr animal, showed his appreciation, and allows him to save his energy. As they walked out, one of ka'am's followers, watched them as Naraya saw them leave as well. "You'd almost say he'd care more for that beast than us.". With an easy 'TEHE', Naraya scared the one person, correcting them on saying such a thing. Ka'am did care.. In his own way, but if some didnt show that respect, there was no way he'd even consider to show his. Naraya knew this, and she was as loyal as one could think off.

🥺🌞🎶 for the writer ask!! (maybe 🧠 for raleigh beckett or the jarchavist 👁👁)

hey thank you!!! :D

🥺 Is there a certain type of moment or common interaction between your characters that never fails to put you in your feels?

mmm I'm always a huge sucker for some kind of casual display of trust, especially from a distrusting character. Any time I show that Jon is okay with touch from his teammates in KMC I get very 🥺👉👈 in my gomens and pacrim stuff too, little details like recalling infodumps or matching/supporting a habit that just show the characters Know and Trust each other makes me UWU

🌞 Do you have a preferred time of day to write?

almost all of my fics have been written like. exclusively while im falling asleep lmfao it's not a good system

🎶 Do you listen to music while you write? What song have you been playing on loop lately?

I am DEEPLY allergic to listening to music while I write, the closest I can ever ever get is with instrumental stuff and even that is often distracting so gbdjdjdj my fic playlists are exclusively for driving around and going Insane about writing ideas to tackle once i get home

🧠 Pick a character, and I'll tell you my favorite headcanon for them. Raleigh Becket and/or Jarchivist

Oooh good picks!! Hmmm I don't have too many hcs for Raleigh, but I Definitely think that man is bisexual. look at how much respect women juice he chugs. look at his sweaters. smooches his head

as for Jarchivist, that archivist is ABSOLUTELY amab transfem. I have written multiple fics on this and it is my dearest hc for him. Also a less fun one: he hates when it rains because his Buried mark threatens to close up his airways when it does.

AH IM LATE BUT PLS RYU IN #6 with the sleepy kisses🥺

Never too late for a Blue Lock boy 👁👁this isnt part of the request but I Do What I Want (also one of my wives sent this and she likes my plan) so im making this a werewolf!au. idk ryu has wolf ears and the reader knows and its cute sjdhbfg the reader’s human i havent put much thought into it except that wolf ryu is cute

6: lazy morning kisses before they’ve even opened their eyes, still mumbling half-incoherently, not wanting to wake up

It’s rare for you to wake up before Ryusei, but you’re more than happy it’s happened. It’s the cold that rouses you, having turned over sometime in the night away from your person-shaped space heater (who loves to hog the damn blankets) and shaking, literally, awake.

You blink the sleep from your eyes, shivering profusely (your teeth are literally chattering, dear god). The sun’s first rays are beginning to light up the room, but they don’t provide nearly as much warmth as your boyfriend ought to be giving you.

Rolling over, you find him still sleeping peacefully, face peaceful as he lays on his side facing you. He’s got all the blankets tugged close to his body. Months ago, back when spending the night together was new, you’d have hesitated to pry the fabric from his grip. Now, you don’t pause, forcing your way into his arms and shoving your freezing feet against his.

You watch his face scrunch up in annoyance, but his arms find their way around your body anyway and he tugs you in closer despite the temperature. You’re more than happy; he runs hot—a product of his inhuman state of being—and on cold fall mornings like this you’re forever grateful and more than willing to take advantage, even if it’s his fault you’re so cold.

It’s more than comfortable in his arms like this. The steady rhythm of his breathing and the heavy beat of your heart in your ear as you press your head against his chest sooth you and bid you to fall asleep again. You almost give in to the lull, but you know that if you do he’ll wake up before you do, and you so rarely get to enjoy his uncharacteristically soft early morning self.

Instead, you let yourself get distracted by his ears. You’ve always loved them; from the moment you’d met him you’d been enthralled, but unsurprisingly he’d only just recently become comfortable enough to let you touch them.

You reach up, ignoring the sting of chilly air on your bare arm as you remove it from the blanket, and let yourself give in to the impulse to stroke the fur.

It’s the same color as his hair, almost indistinguishable except that it’s so much softer. You pinch the tip between your thumb and forefinger (gently, obviously) and stroke there, a gesture you’ve learned he enjoys.

He’s still asleep, but the ear flicks, and his nose wrinkles slightly. You can’t help but lean in and kiss the tip, quickly and fleetingly, just long enough to rouse him just a little more from his sleep.

Then you lean up further and kiss the base of the ear you’d just touched. Now he’s really waking up; you can tell because you feel the bed shake and the blankets shift as his tail starts to wag.

Ryusei shuffles, tugging you ever closer and nuzzling into the crook of your neck with a low growl. Laughing breathlessly in response, you just wrap your own arms around your neck so that your hands can find his ears again, repeating the motion from before more intently.

He pulls back, eyes still closed as his mouth tugs back in a lazy, halfhearted snarl that shows off his fangs and he mumbles a husky, “Go back to sleep, woman.”

You kiss him, for real this time, capturing that snarl and sweetly pressing your lips to his before he can fully wake up and take control. He tries anyway, tugging you over without breaking the kiss so that you’re lying fully on top of him with your hands still stroking at his soft ears.

When you finally do pull away, his eyes blink open, and he can’t help a lazy, content smile from breaking the glare he was trying to give you. You give him one last kiss, pressed against his jaw, before you finally speak. “Good morning, puppy.”

Hi Dan!!💗 I forgot to say that i have actually visited your teapot yesterday(which is accidental)!! 😚😚😚 I didn't knew it was open, i was just trying out if my friends' teapots were open for trespassing-

It was like a breath of fresh air 😌💞 i went to every island and it feels different seeing it by myself and exploring it 😳🤩 i really have no words because the moment i see your teapot design, all i could think of is that it was truly breathtaking 😤💖 Everything is placed neatly, there is life in every island and a new sight to gaze at. ✨ To me, I think you might have gotten a touch with your creative side to make the atmosphere really homely, no matter how simple or detailed the place is 😍💝✨

The whole area is covered while still maintaining to be decorative + with a character inside (which takes up lots of load!!) 😌🤩🤩 It was really cute to me 😭💖🥺 i got really distracted between the two hangout framed photos at the entrance, because Ayato(the character that was out) won't look up to Gorou's(?) pic, but instead looks up to the Beidou one (both pictures are placed on the same height). 🤔🤔🤔 10/10 ★★★★★ would definitely want to be a character of yours so i could live inside your majestic teapot too 💞💞💞

I'm also touched that you were *too stunned to speak* with my previous compliment 🥺 due to that, it made me think that simple compliments about the little things do actually matter 😌 so i won't def hold back if i felt like saying a nice thing to you 💝💝💝 + i'm glad you returned home safe !! <333 I hope you had fun with your resort outing ✨✨✨ i don't mind you talking about the events that happened there if you'd like to talk about it ★

pairing: dad!cedric x babysitter!reader

warning: fluffy core memories ahead, mentions of death, unhealthy coping mechanisms, grief

rating: pg 😒

summary: cho and cedric had a son named Friedrich, Fritz or, only tolerated from Amos, Freddy my ol' boy for short, years after they leave hogwarts. but cho collapses into a coma and passes within weeks. it was something magic couldn't fix: an underlying terminal illness. cedric is stricken with grief and unable to learn how to cope. auror robes were traded for a desk jockey manager position in the same department, giving the young father enough busy work to forget about his other problems. he grew to love the distraction, nothing like desk work to soothe the soul.

send me ur thoughts n ideas :3 id love to eat ur brains. definitely not edited, but this idea hasn't left me for days. im sensing laundry room make out sessions and stuff in the near future 👁👄👁🔮

amos watched Fritz for some time until he started to develop dementia. litle things at first that garnered no attention, then it went on and on. one too many times he forgot the kettle was left on the gas burning stove and cedric had to find someone to relieve his father from childcare.

he just needed someone dependable to watch his son, so one day you get a letter by owl.

within hours, you set a time and date for midday tea. arriving a tad bit early to get some extra work done. you were a freelance editor and it helped make ends meet with not so many privileges or niceties.

at the exact meeting time, in walks cedric diggory, the man, the myth, the legend, he's somehow taller and lankier than you remember, with a ghost of stubble that peppers his sunken face. his kind smile and all too familiar wind-blown mop remained the same. the small talk was forgotten as hours pass and the two of you trauma dump and reminisce about simpler times.

"... its been a year or so now," he mumbled as they discussed the uncharted waters of cho's passing. there was no funeral or showing, her family went with cremation and spread her ashes in ireland off the coast.

"must suck, ced. sorry buddy." you grimmaced and reach over to rub his shoulder. you avoided pitying people, but he seemed appreciative of your gesture as your hand returned to fiddle with the edges of the notebook you had been doodling in.

"fucking rotten, thats for sure." he lets out, taking a sip of chamomile tea. your hands wrung themselves out of anxious habit and you nodded. "dad's gone kinda senile too." he added on

"well sounds like its all sunshine and daisies, ain't it golden boy?" you teased demurely. cedric surprisingly huffed out a loud laugh and you chuckled along with him. "couldnt have said it any better myself."

"what're you up to lately anyways?" the boyish smile finally revealed itself

the sky turns hues of purple and pink as he holds the teashop's door open for you, your faces flushing from the nippy london air.

"Aurors nowadays," he said with a playful eyeroll. an associate owled to let him know they were out sick for the evening.

you got a new job that afternoon, effective immediately, you thought as cedric apparated to the ministry.

watching Fritz paid the bills and then some. at 7, he was a well-mannered boy -- practically a spitting image of his father too with brown eyes and chestnut hair. you couldn't help but see how much he took after cho as you helped him with grade school homework. he soon got tired, and although he was a little old for naps, he asked to lay down for a bit and you gave him the ok. plus, nap time meant quiet time for you to edit

he rarely acted out. on the other hand, he was very righteous about particular things. like using the lavender scented fabric softener, he would only mention it once in your entire experience of caring for him that it reminded him of his mom. you took it into consideration and permanently added it to the shopping list on the fridge. headstrong like cho, you thought.

the Diggory’s were big healthy snackers of course -- apples, bananas, peanut butter and celery, it was always a good picnic theme for quidditch practice saturdays. it was also vastly different from your love for potato chips and puffy cheetos. so, for when ced started working more hours at the office and an increasing amount of your weekends were spent with the kid, you got used to picking up fruit snacks and goldfish crackers at the store during your errands. Fritz said he 'enjoyed the inanimate-object shaped snackies', dropping a comment on how muggles were interesting beings.

you and Fritz cherished the weekends together. Even if he missed his parents, at least it meant movie marathons, hours of quidditch, and arts & crafts with a real person

you learned quickly that your old friend raised a well rounded individual -- or maybe it was the childhood grief Fritz dealt with on his own that shaped him to be quiet, reserved, and obedient. regardless, he didn't complain about folding his own clothes when the two of you did laundry, or pout when it was time to turn in for bed.

you were reluctant to say it reminded yourself of your former years. growing up with busy parents often meant the kid fended for themselves.

you made yourself a home in the hogwarts library, it gave you silence to ponder about your thoughts. it was also away from the endless banter from your classmates and housemates, who jokingly called you the black market notes dealer

the byname brought in business, if anything. wizards and witches would drop sickles for extra Potions notes and OWLs tutoring came at the higher price of a galleon. they'd stumble across your petite frame in a dark, quiet nook at the back of the library, glasses hanging off the tip of your nose as a light from your wand, which hovered above your workspace by a wordless incantation, illuminated your furious writing.

the older you got, the less books the library had that you didn't read, so your schoolmates would have trouble finding you outside of class. you hid away to watch the Scottish landscape that surrounded the school, an ethereal feeling spread across your chest as your legs dangled off an overpass between cobblestone towers. you were reserved and offstandish and you liked it that way, but, oh boy, did any of those things prevent the wonder boy himself from pestering befriending you

you shared a handful of classes and prefect rounds, walking through the endless halls as he asked you endless questions about your classes and which OWLs you'd be taking. by the time it was your 5th year, others pinned the two of you as star pupils and it helped some foster friendly competition between the hufflepuffs and slytherins. it also proved beneficial to the big shot when he won the triwizard tournament in your 6th year.

and so, more time passed yet again.

cedric gained back muscle as the auror department dwindled in size cause he has to take more field missions. never anything more than underage magic or illegal animal trafficking cases. the threat of dark forces no longer hung over peoples hears and it steered away hogwarts students from joining the department

but the day ced got a promotion to head of the department!!!!!! you and fritz baked a cake with a prank candle that never went out

cedric's very fond of your company at this point and Fritz constantly asked about you when you werent around. "you guys kiss yet??"

most nights at the diggory household consisted of the three of you cooking dinner and eating altogether as a happy bunch. youd tuck in fritz while cedric "got some extra work done" aka peek from around the doorframe at how much his son loved your attention. then you'd find him in the study, pretending to do some busy work as you bring up some joke fritz told you earlier.

he'd walk you to the front door and take up even more of your time trying to get you to crack a smile, all while his boyish charm came back out of hibernation

you couldnt help but grin a cheeky smile when the streetlamp reflected in his hazel eyes, dimples showing and all on either of your faces in the cold

by the time Fritz was 10, you got a flat closer to the Diggory's and the kid was spending weekends at your place. cedric would even take off sundays for quidditch sundays and movie marathons

as fritz got older, his personality developed and he was yet again a remarkable young individual, being compassionate, receptive, and a great listener, some of the best qualities between his parents. that and he was already exhibiting his magic abilties.

sometimes he cracked jokes so hard, sparks would literally snap in the air around him, boy must be an innate stand up comedian.

it was a tuesday during brunch in august, complete with overcast skies and foggy streets, when an owl spilled the daily post out on the table, one envelope read in neat calligraphy on the top read "Friedrich Amos Lee Diggory"

the house stilled and Fritz grabbed the envelope with his name on it as soon as it hit the table, sprinting upstairs to his room.

surprise hit you as you realized he had two middle names and then bewilderment came as the boy squealed out of excitement which could be heard through the ceiling

that september, you and cedric waved off the boy at the train station -- not forgetting to take a quick selfie at the platform 9 3/4 sign once you bypassed the portal brick wall

not even a day after you dropped off fritz that you sent cedric an owl, asking to have dinner together cause you missed the company, only for cedric's familiar owl to perch on your window sill with a similar letter in its beak

SUMMER GAMES FEST 2023 THOUGHTS

lots of notes. lots of betrayal.

i am so 😐 at the fact phantom liberty had no news and they're keeping it behind one of their small sgf play days. we were hyped for a main event reveal. i literally sat through the event JUST FOR THIS.

thoughts below the cut and very much unformatted idc

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown

- Loved the mixed trailer; Gameplay! more companies need to do this

- Not really into 2D BUT I would play that

- actually available on xbox one! yes this is a note im making on entries

Mortal Kombat 1

- Reboot! new timeline. inchresting.

- This year?? wow. WOW. good secret.

- I played some of the og Xbox games... dunno much lore but 👁 curious

- Story seems kinda cool tho with the modern take and retelling of some of the lore; subzero and scorpion are brothers??? okayyyyy 💅 cain and abel 2 electric boogaloo!

- kameo fighters... allies!

Path of Exile 2

NICK CAGE DBD I'M STILL PISSING OVER THIS

- NICK CAGE INTERVIEW IMMMM

- the suit is nice. it's a good shade of green

- "horror is my fave genre and it's a museum of horror that's good enough for me"; also aww family inspo. probably one of his kids if he has those.

- at least it was confirmed that he is, sadly, a survivor. killer nick cage would've been funny.

Witcher Season 3

- Very surprised Netflix is doing a season 3 of a show! Definitely a way to try and distract from the WGA strike bc why pay for writers when we can announce a beloved series and make people forget?

- Don't like Cavill for some things he's done but good for him to play a role he has passion for. I know he said he wasn't gonna be in season 4 bc of the writing direction so.

- It is what it is. Won't be watching regardless bc I wanna learn the game lore first.
