#it's smaller tooo

[miusmusings]

that pic of nurse!kenta and patient!kim (using these names cause i can't remember what their names are in TLDHLB even tho I saw it like 15 mins ago-) gave me this vision of Kim waking up in the hospital high on sedatives and going 'is this heaven? are you angel? you're so pretty can i kiss you? is it ok to kiss angels? are angels allowed kiss?' on Kenta and Kenta sighing tiredly cause this isn't the first time a just-woken-up patient tried to flirt him when he's at the end of his shift and running low on patience and energy.

He briefly contemplates the ethics of inflicting violence upon a patient in his care.

(and thankfully resists the temptation cause 1)he likes his job 2)Kim's face is too pretty to be fucked up like that 3)murder is not cool and prison food sucks)

At the end of his hospital stay Kim somehow manages to get Kenta's number with all his negative-rizz glory. He's surprised. Kenta's surprised.

Kenta visits his house the next evening to 'show Kim proper care during recovery'. They end the night falling asleep on the couch with the movie still on.

Kenta starts visiting Kim's house every other day, cause Kim 'needs to be looked after as he heals', and slowly starts staying the night.

They go on a proper date 2 months later and Kim asks Kenta out 'properly', by stuttering a "I really like you. D-do you wanna, like, date me?"

Cue pikachu face kenta who thought they'd started dating a month ago when they kissed on Kim's doorway one morning when Kenta was leaving to go to the hospital and whining about how he's tired and didn't want to go to work that day.

A week later Kim is introducing Kenta to his friends (aka the rest of Pit Babe gang) as the person who took care of him during his recovery and is now also dating him, only for his friends to laugh and tell him they all know. (They'd seen Kenta hang around in Kim's house wayyy too many times when they visited+seen Kenta's stuff in the bathroom and the closet, and Alan had cried how his negative-rizz friend slash adopted child finally hitched up and he can worry less now.)

Pickachu face again but it's Kim this time

anyway so i'm this deep in hcs with just the poster. idk what i'll do when the trailer comes out or when the actual series starts airing. probably pass away and descend to hell.

MADE EDITS i couldn't stop thinking about their outfits and like,, the aspects i liked and thought felt very winx and in line with the individual characters and the aspects i Hated and thought sucked dookie SO i made some edits :)

biggest changes are to musa, aisha, and stella! actually changed the clothes there. flora and tecna i just adjusted the colors (in flora's case to further unwhitewash her and saturate her clothing more and in tecna's case to bring back her pink hair and green and cyan).

explanations on changes below!

I'll start with the simpler edits!

For Tecna, I just wanted to play around with her og colors lol I actually LOVE her new look and I would love to see this be the final design!! It's SO tecna and fits in with the rest of the winx i love it soo much :') I do think they should bring back her pinker hair though! And again, would love to see the green and cyan make an appearance. I feel like neon green is just very classy techy character. And while it is cliche, I do love it akjgd plus I think it looks good on her and makes the other colors stand out more imo! (but maybe this new, pinker look will make people like her more idk :') justice for tecna my beloved :'))

For Flora, I darkened her skin more for obvious reasons. And then I added more saturation to the colors and added back the warmer tones they took out. Imo, the darker, desaturated, and cooler toned look for Flora only works in very specific circumstances. Color theory rainbow!! Bring back the brightness! The color!! The warmth!!

Which brings me to Stella ohmygod,,, please,,,, please stop desaturating her she looks so pale and sick and lifeless STOP please :') Anyway lol, obviously brought back the brighter orange! I also took away the random sleeve. It's cute but it just didn't feel very Stella at the time? The tube top look is Very Classic Stella (very much giving s3 casual but in orange). Tbh, I don't love the dress itself, but I do think it looks better once you add more of Stella's colors. I also tanned her skin more and made her hair more yellow + brighter! Just like with Flora, color theory is important for media!! This Stella design just does Not give sunny, optimistic character. It's giving the gap (aka BORING aljdhg)

Aisha's design stumped me for a bit, I won't lie. I couldn't figure out exactly what I didn't like. But I got it!! One, way too symmetrical imo. Yes, Aisha does have some very symmetrical looks, but like 80% of her looks are very asymmetrical. I also didn't love that it didn't incorporate more of Aisha's powers. It really just went for *vaguely sporty* and didn't try to bring anything else to the table. And some people might say that Aisha's og looks were like that too, but I disagree! They told a story! She's a brave adventurer, a dancer, a princess, etcetc!! This tells me "oh yeah this girl might like to do yoga. cool."

Anyway! So I made Aisha's pants baggier because let's be fucking real for a sec. Changed the design on the pants slightly to make it asymmetrical and incorporated a wave design. Took away that bottom shiny fabric of her shirt. I tried to keep it but it just wasn't looking great with the pants changes tbh. Added small waves to the bottom and made it one shoulder! Also added her classic little circle wave design 1. because it's cute and 2. so Musa wouldn't feel so out of place with a design. Tbh, I still don't love the pants... I think maybe that hem could be higher?

For Musa! I've spoken about this before but I do not like the bodysuit. I liked the concept and the vibe it brings, but it looks So uncomfortable and s1 Musa was alllll about being comfortable. It's why so many people think she hates wearing dresses (even though she doesn't). So I kept the vibe, but changed it to the same mesh that's on her right arm! Which like!! I didn't even see that until I started the edit!! It's so,,, unnoticeable which like,, isn't a bad thing? But also? I think the mesh being on her stomach too makes the design as a whole a little more balanced (and it's a nice callback to her og magic winx!). As for the color changes, really just wanted to go back to her reds and dark blues. I don't Hate the color scheme, but I also don't love it. And I think this feels a lot more like Musa yknow? Also darkened her hair cause fuck that dude

Anyway lol it's not the best edit so don't look too hard :') I just wanted to explore what I liked about the designs and what I didn't. We did get to see a little bit of Bloom's casual, but I want to wait until we get a closer look to speak on it/make edits. Also tbh, I don't really love Flora's outfit but I didn't want to completely redesign her and I concede that this is something she would wear (although it feels more like s4 cowgirl time/s5 casual and not s1 new student time but Fine). For now, I'm gonna pretend the trailer showed us my edit of Stella and not what it really showed. I can't get pale pinterest stella out of my head,,, aggghhhh

[frankenbuggee]

No one asked for it but I wanted to show how small Devious’ main subordinate is compared to him. Sergei is *checks notes* 5’6. Maybe 5’5 without heels.

Maybe that’s why Sergei is so mean. Because he’s closer to Hell 💀

[zhuhongs]

got new glasses and i think they've placed me firmly into mature young adult woman category and not college student thats wants to be a pro twitch streamer which is exactly the change i need in 2024 tbh honestly

Felix clenched his jaw as flames of anger flickered within him, the obnoxious, classic, yet familiar, league of legends red defeat screen only fanning the resentment that burned hot through his veins. He ripped his headset off as he swallowed down the third bitter loss his team faced that day, his face glaring down at your username that seemed to mock him in every post-game lobby chat. 

y/ign: GG! Thanks for the skrims :) Same time tomorrow?

He rolled his eyes at your message, trusting Chan to coordinate with your team for the next matches as he closed out the client while reaching for his headset once more, letting out an exasperated groan. 

“Well… that went as well as it did last time, huh?” Chan’s lighthearted laugh rang through Felix’s ear which only irritated him more, unsure how he was able to remain so positive after three soul crushing defeats. “Overall, their team is really solid and versatile. I can see why they’ve been dominating the lower tier teams and why they’re in our division now, but those games definitely helped us understand the skill of each of their players and what champs we need to ban.”

Changbin hummed in agreement gloomily, “Man, I don’t wanna play against them more, that y/ign guy is fucking annoying to play against. I can’t even farm properly without them ganking my lane every few minutes.”

Felix scoffed, “Yeah, imagine being counterpicked by them and having them take your jungle camps every game,” frustration colored each of Felix’s word a bright and gaudy crimson as he spoke through gritted teeth, taking a swig of water hoping it would somehow cool down the unbearable rage he felt bubbling inside him.

“I’m sorry, man, I know those games were especially rough on you,” Chan mumbled apologetically, carefully choosing his words to avoid hitting a nerve, “But we now know what champs to ban for them, we know to ward your camps early game, and to change our approach.”

“Yeah, I guess we can try out a more dive heavy comps and try to get early picks so they can’t shut us out of the game so quickly,” Seungmin suggested with uncertainty as he weighed the options his team now had, “Or more tanky… Maybe we need more CC?”

“Ah, well, it’s hard to say because god knows what other champs they can play. Each game they had an entirely different comp, so I guess we can try to prepare for every scenario we have seen so far, but we will still have to stay wary during the champ select process,” muttered Chan as he reflected today’s matches, trying to formulate a game plan for the team, “All good though, let’s just rest up for today. Skrims at the same time tomorrow, but log on an hour before so we can review our vods and discuss what we wanna try out in our games, alright?”

With that, the team grumbled a disheartened goodbye as Felix exited the call, once more tossing his headset in annoyance while he rubbed his face, clicking his teeth as he replayed each death from today’s games and how it was always you flashing your mastery after each kill. 

Felix had no idea who you were, but your team had randomly emerged into the scene these past few months, quickly making themselves a well-respected and feared team as you dominated the lower tiered scene which now meant SKZ, a team well known within the semi-pro scene had no choice, but to take your team as a serious threat. Chan had reached out to you via discord, asking if your team was interested in a few practice sessions against his, which leads us to today.

There was no mistaking that your team was extremely well-versed and had done their research against SKZ, promptly banning each of their signature mains during the champ select process while picking characters that were either, quite frankly, annoying to deal with or countered their own. Felix should have known it was a bad omen when your team banned Chan’s Azir and Changbin’s Caitlyn, but once he saw you pick Briar against his own Diana, he knew he was in for a rough day.

You were perhaps the most annoying person Felix has ever had the misfortune to go against, somehow knowing just how to piss him off as you counter jungled him throughout the game and took every opportunity to gank his teammates, ultimately ruining their chances to catch up to your team’s gold. You even stole Baron from them, which ended up costing them the second game after your team immediately wiped his. He was filled with vengeful rage each time he saw your character on the screen, cursing internally whenever you made a good play, not even giving him the chance to trash you because you seemed to never make a mistake.

After today, Felix knew he hated you with all his being and made it his personal mission to give you a taste of your own medicine, swearing up and down that he would make sure that any games he played against you were absolute hell. He had a month to prepare for the next LAN tournament, where he would embarrass you on stage and disgrace the newly-founded prestige your team name had earned this past year. y/ign would no longer be the latest jungler breaking into the scene, you’d no longer be the new talent to keep an eye out. He wanted to make sure you were nothing but an utter disappointment to everyone who looked forward to your next performance.

･ﾟ·:｡･ﾟﾟ･ ✩ ･ﾟ ･ﾟ·:｡･ﾟﾟ･ﾟ·:｡･ﾟﾟ･ ✩ ･ﾟ ･ﾟ·:｡･ﾟﾟ･･ﾟ·:｡･ﾟﾟ･ ✩ ･ﾟ ･ﾟ·:｡･ﾟﾟ･･

When the next day came, Felix was brimming with confidence after spending last night researching your team, but with extra attention focused on you and your playstyle. Felix looked through your team's past matches and if he was lucky enough to find an old broadcast of the games, he’d scrub through them to gain a better understanding of your jungle pathing and how it differed by each character you played. Today, he refused to be caught off guard by your skill and would not give you the chance to gain as much map control as you did yesterday. 

When logging onto his PC, Felix noticed a notification on his discord:

✩ y/ign sent you a friend request!

hey! wanted to thank you for the games yesterday and look forward to playing you guys again today :) 

While you probably had the best intentions in mind, Felix immediately felt the scorching, yet thrilling, heat of competitiveness settle into his body as he scowled at your message. “Fucking asshole,” he mumbled under his breath in disbelief, assuming you sent that as a way to get under his skin before today’s skrims. 

sunlixie accepted y/ign’s friend request! 

sunlixie reacted to y/ign’s message with a thumbs up!

Great, not only are you extremely talented at the game, but turns out you’re an incredibly cocky person! Anything Felix had ever learned about you, aside from his research last night, was completely against his will and it was only making him despise you even more. He hated how easily you ticked him off, how easily you filled him with unbridled rage by doing the absolute bare minimum, and he hated how sour the taste of anger was. He hated this feeling, as it always ended up clouding his perception and made him an absolute hellish person to be around, but it was also one of the most driving forces behind his competitive nature. 

Despite his huffing and puffing, Felix decided to close his eyes for a brief moment, as if he was meditating away all the negative emotions you so effortlessly planted within him with a simple message. After taking in a deep breath, Felix joined the discord call with the rest of his team, greeting them with a cheery ‘hello!’

“Felix! You sleep well? Sounds like you’re feeling better from yesterday,” asked Chan, the smile in his tone was impossible to miss.

Felix nodded before responding with a “Yup, got my eight hours and feeling a little more confident after some research.” 

“Good, good, that’s what I like to hear.”

Before Chan could continue with their pre-match meeting, Hyunjin piped up a question, “Did anyone else get a message from y/ign?”

Just hearing your username was enough for Felix’s entire mood to deflate as he sunk into his chair with furrowed eyebrows. He was about to open his mouth to tell everyone how rude you just are, but to his surprise, Changbin beat him to it, “Dude!! They are so nice!” a giggle escaped Changbin as he recalled the message, “They said my Draven was pretty good and that Hyunjin’s Lux had their bot lane nervous!”

Now that was not what Felix was expecting to hear from anyone as his jaw dropped, completely shocked to hear just how sweet your messages were to everyone else and how downright rude yours was to him. What the hell is your problem? Felix hadn’t realized how tight he was gripping his mouse til he felt the plastic material slip from under his fingers, landing on desk due to all the force applied.

“Right! It’s nice to know we had them sweating even though they looked so composed,” Hyunjin eagerly added.

“They’re super kind and humble, which is refreshing to see in this scene,” laughed Chan, “Maybe I gotta play a little better today to get my own compliment, but they did thank us for playing against them and for agreeing to not post the vods. What about you Felix? They say anything to you?”

Felix was still recovering from shock after processing the information he just learned, stammering in both surprise and upsetness, “Dude… I… I don’t know what to say because they were a straight up asshole to me.”

“What?! No way!” gasped Changbin, “Maybe it’s because you’re their match up in the game, but that doesn;t sound right…”

“Yeah, that’s weird,” Seungmin added, “What did they say?”

Felix then pulled up the message you sent, reading it out for the rest of his team to hear, adding an annoyed “Can you believe the nerve of this guy?” 

.

.

.

A few moments had passed by where no one had said anything, the call remained dead silent as everyone tried to figure out how to gently inform Felix that he was being an idiot and turning a very friendly message from you into an ill-intended one.

Chan cleared his throat, holding back a laugh as he realized your performance yesterday really struck something in Felix, “Bro, I hate to break it to you, but that was definitely a nice message… I don’t really see where they’re being rude at all.”

This time, it was Felix’s turn to stay quiet, a perplexed look overtaking his features after hearing the rest of his teammates agree with Chan. Maybe if he squinted really, really hard he’d be able to find a hint of kindness in your message, but Felix had already convinced himself you were his ultimate rival who was trying to throw him off a game. There is no way you’d ever send him a nice message just because, right? 

“Well, I don’t know… Maybe you guys are right,” mumbled Felix, not completely convinced by his friends, which prompted Hyunjin to chuckle.

“Lixie, I have never seen someone get to you so easily before! Those games yesterday must’ve done a number on ya, huh?” 

Felix rolled his eyes as he let out a peeved exhale through his nose, unable to deny any of what Hyunjin had said, “Yeah, yesterday was rough, but surely today will be different, yea?”

･ﾟ·:｡･ﾟﾟ･ ✩ ･ﾟ ･ﾟ·:｡･ﾟﾟ･･ﾟ·:｡･ﾟﾟ･ ✩ ･ﾟ ･ﾟ·:｡･ﾟﾟ･･ﾟ·:｡･ﾟﾟ･ ✩ ･ﾟ ･ﾟ·:｡･ﾟﾟ･

Luckily for the SKZ boys, today was different from the day before. This time, the boys were able to secure a win in the first game, while the second game was a very close loss due to Changbin being caught out, but this just called for better positioning and map vision, all things that could be easily resolved by being more mindful. 

Despite the major improvements in the SKZ team’s gameplay, your performance did not fall short from yesterday’s as you still managed to be a threat SKZ couldn’t ignore. Although Felix was able to maintain control of his side of the map and trade some camps with you, you were still able to fill him with rage by somehow targeting him every fight, which made it nearly impossible for him to play the game. Luckily, Seungmin ended up using his Mordekaiser ultimate on you, which gave SKZ a chance to focus on the rest of your team while Seungmin did his best to tank your damage in his realm. This strategy definitely led them to their first win against your team, but as soon as the second match started, your team switched up to an entirely new comp, which SKZ struggled to answer.

Unfortunately, your team wasn’t able to stick around for a third game due to some prior commitments, so there was no decisive winner for the day.

y/ign: GGs! sunlixie, you really were sweating today on that diana jg kek

nyangknow: if i ever see you irl, its on sight, sunlixie… targeting a poor lil adc like me? 

nyangknow: lol but gg! y/ign slammed their desk when u stole elder last game kek

y/ign: shut up before i expose ur government name

nyangknow: …

channie: haha, sunlixie wasn’t gonna let u guys embarrass us again 

channie: GG! dm me on disc if you guys wanna set up some more skrims 

dwaekki: :3 gg!!! u guys did great, heh ty for games!

Once again, Felix found himself frowning at your message in the post-game lobby, irritation bubbling up in the pit of his stomach as his knuckles turned white from clenched fists. “Dude, I don’t get what their problem is with me,” whined Felix as he closed out the client once more, not even bothering to send a message in the chat.

Seungmin snickered over the mic, finding Felix’s one-sided rivalry hilarious, “That was definitely a compliment, don’t take it the wrong way.”

“Whatever,” he mumbled snarkily at Seungmin’s response, not being able to find any of the validity in his comments, “Just felt like they were poking fun at me.”

･ﾟ·:｡･ﾟﾟ･ ✩ ･ﾟ ･ﾟ·:｡･ﾟﾟ･･ﾟ·:｡･ﾟﾟ･ ✩ ･ﾟ ･ﾟ·:｡･ﾟﾟ･･ﾟ·:｡･ﾟ

The weekend of the Regional Collegiate LAN tournament had finally arrived, and luckily for SKZ, they didn’t have to worry about traveling since their university was hosting the event. This event did hold some importance, but it mostly helped determine seeding for the next tournament with only a few teams at risk for elimination. Due to SKZ’s skill level, elimination was the least of their concern with them being favored to win first place. First place did receive a cash prize to help cover travel costs to nationals, but it also helped any team gain more support and made the pro scene more aware of potential candidates for their team. 

SKZ was getting set to prepare for their first match of the weekend, but had some time to kill so they settled on roaming around the venue to catch up with some friends from other teams and greet any fans that approached them. In this world, it wasn’t uncommon for any of the more popular teams to have fans, as some people were either fans of individual players, their skills, or they were a fan of the entire team. 

Today was no different as Felix walked through the venue on his own, chatting with friends from other teams and meeting any new recruits while he was at it. Frustratingly enough though, your team and you had been quite the topic amongst his friends, each of them expressing concern at how intimidating and difficult your team seemed. Everyone in the scene knew that SKZ and Y/TN had gone against each other in a few practice matches, meaning everyone was swarming to them like flies, trying to extract as much information as they could against your team. Although, you and SKZ had an agreement to not leak out any team comps or skrim information before playing, so Felix had to deal with a whole lot of begging while trying to skirt around the subject.

Felix had finally gotten a moment of peace as he excused himself from the last interrogation, deciding it was time to group up with the team seeing that their match was in about an hour from now. Before he was able to get far, he heard a voice behind him call out:

“Yo! Sunlixie, is that you?”

Well, he was wearing a jersey with his name on the back of it, so it wasn’t weird for fan interactions to go this way. He put a smile on his face and turned to greet the owner of the voice, who he honestly thought was a little too cute to be wandering around the convention center on their own, but nonetheless he pushed the thought away and decided it was best to maintain a level of professionality when interacting with fans. 

“Hi! Yup, that would be me!”

The mystery person had a smile stretching across their face reaching out to shake Felix’s hand, which he took politely. He had no idea who this person was and it didn’t look like they were part of any teams since they weren’t wearing a jersey, so it was safe to assume this was just another fan.

“Wow, it’s so great to finally meet you! I’m y/ign, or you can just call me Y/N if you prefer.”

Felix eyes widened in pure surprise when your username left your mouth, not expecting the human he was talking to was you of all people. He did his absolute best to maintain his composure, but the sound of your name dampened his mood in the blink of an eye, his shoulders visibly tensing as his smile fell into a more awkward version of it. 

“Oh, sorry! You aren’t wearing your jersey, so I didn’t realize it was you,” he forced an uncomfortable laugh, but you had already picked up on the stiffness Felix was now carrying in his shoulders, “But, uh, you can call me Felix.”

Ever since you became acquainted with SKZ through your skrims, you could tell that Felix definitely wasn’t your biggest fan. Maybe you had gotten off on the wrong foot, but other than playing the game, you weren’t sure what you had done to make him dislike you so much. You had quickly befriended everyone else on the SKZ teams, even going as far as playing other games outside of league with them or meeting up with them to get food, but Felix was the only member who was uninterested and incredibly dry towards you. 

You had done your best to reach out to him and try to get to know him a little better, thinking maybe he just needed time to warm up to strangers, but that theory was quickly disproved when you found out Jeongin and Jisung had played some ARAMs with him and even met him in real life. Apparently, he was the sweetest and most pleasant guy to be around, yet you never had the pleasure to be met with his warmth. Instead, all you knew was an icy and cold exterior that pushed you away at every corner. At some point, you had been discouraged to attempt to be his friend, but you still thought it would be best to remain as cordial as you could with him, which meant greeting him and inviting him to any events your team hosted.

Not everyone was going to like you, that was a lesson you had learned long ago and you weren’t going to let it get to you when you had other things to focus on. You didn’t need to be his friend, anyway. 

“Yeah, my team isn’t scheduled to play til way later, so didn’t really need to wear it,” you smiled at the boy, nervously playing with the hem of your shirt as you watched Felix’s expression slowly drop, “Well, uh, I’ll let you go back to your team. Good luck in your games!”

Felix raised an eyebrow as you hastily turned away, surprised at how different your demeanor was in person compared to his initial impression of you. 

Online and through your varied interactions, Felix had pinned you as some overconfident, cocky, and disrespectful asshole who was purposefully targeting him. While everyone around him insisted that was not the case, he couldn’t help but feel the burning flames of hatred burst in him every time he received a message from you, each seemingly mocking him for whatever play he made that day. 

However, this version of you was entirely different than what he had imagined this whole time. You didn’t ooze out that same confidence he had pictured you to have, but instead you seemed a lot more timid and welcoming in person. There was a gentle shyness that accompanied the warmth of your aura, golden and bright hues of yellow radiating off you as you smiled with not a single hint of malice in your eyes. When he met your gaze, he thought he would be staring right into the same sweltering, scarlet fury he had become so familiar with, but while searching your eyes, all he found was the brilliance of your tender-hearted benevolence, only rays of sunshine and light coloring the bright green meadows that expanded across your being.

What was this? This wasn’t the scorching, volcanic, blindingly red world he had been living in the past month, yet he still found himself melting under the comforting warmth, wanting nothing more to bask in your glow and forget the blistering one-sided rivalry he had imagined. For a moment of time, he felt the amber light you emanated was slowly turning his ugly red into a more placid orange, one akin to the sky’s palette during sunset. 

Maybe the boys were right, maybe you did mean well. Maybe he was the asshole, not you.

･ﾟ·:｡･ﾟﾟ･ ✩ ･ﾟ ･ﾟ·:｡･ﾟﾟ･ﾟ·:｡･ﾟﾟ･ ✩ ･ﾟ ･ﾟ·:｡･ﾟﾟ･･ﾟ·:｡･ﾟﾟ･ ✩ ･

The crowd cheered loudly as the announcer’s voice boomed over the intercom, officially declaring SKZ as the victors of the regional collegiate cup for the fourth year in the row. As soon as the blue victory screen popped up during their 5th game against Y/TN, the boys quickly stood up from their seats as they huddled into a group hug while gleefully jumping up and down, ecstatic screams and laughter leaving them as they celebrated their win. After an intense final match where SKZ and Y/TN had traded wins, in the very last game, SKZ was able to pull out with the third and final win needed to end the tournament. That was perhaps one of the most difficult finals SKZ had to play in a long time and for the first time in years, they were afraid that their reign was coming to an end, but luck was on their side today and all the skirms against your team had come to fruition. 

Across the stage, your team stood amongst the chaos erupting throughout the venue, you remaining still in your seat as you watched the defeat screen go through its animations, tears pricking the corner of your eyes in humiliation. Second place was nothing to be ashamed of, but you couldn’t stop the overwhelming rush of emotions that filled you, the blinding stage lights causing your vision to go blurry as the feeling of failure took hold of you. You enviously watched SKZ celebrate their win as you wiped away your tears, standing from your seat with the rest of your team as you headed to congratulate the opposing team.

As your team approached SKZ, Felix immediately noticed the shift in your emotions and saw through the fake smile you forced onto your face as you congratulated each of them. All he could see was the bleak tears that clouded the brightness that once occupied you, the golden aura of yours being overtaken by the blues of sorrow and disappointment. The sun that once gleamed through your entire being had been replaced by flooding waters from a relentless storm of emotion, the cerulean raindrops overtaking the shining yellow hues of your personality. 

As the colors of your emotions blended, Felix swore he saw the slightest tinge of an ugly green forming as the two aforementioned colors danced with one another. Was that jealousy? Although, as soon as he took note of it, the color instantly melted away as you shook his hand, a sincere ‘congratulations, you did amazing,’ leaving your mouth despite the tumultuous storm that dampened your conscience. Somehow, even as the bitter taste of failure lingered on your tongue, your genuinity never once faltered.

The vengeful, piercing, crimson rage Felix had felt for you weeks prior had dulled out as your sadness bleed all over him, guilt now washing over him as he had realized how sorely mistaken he was about you. The burning competitiveness and hatred that once fueled him had been put out by your misery, a deep violet now painting over him as the heavy hands of culpability dragged him down into numbing darkness of shame.

For some unknown reason, Felix felt the urge to run after you as he watched your figure shrink off the stage, wanting to apologize for his unwarranted attitude towards you this past month and bring you back to the warmness he had just learned about to revel under it once more. He remained unmoving as his teammates dragged him into another celebration hug, insisting to take a photo to remember this moment, yet Felix wanted nothing more to forget the sight he had just witnessed. Even though his wish had come true, he couldn’t bring himself to savor this victory against you.

･ﾟ·:｡･ﾟﾟ･ ✩ ･ﾟ ･ﾟ·:｡･ﾟﾟ･ﾟ·:｡･ﾟﾟ･ ✩ ･ﾟ ･ﾟ·:｡･ﾟﾟ･･ﾟ·:｡･ﾟﾟ･ ✩ ･

A few days had gone by since your team had lost the tournament, suffering from what you had considered a rather embarrassing loss. While the games were incredibly close, you were sorely disappointed in your own performance, as you felt that you made too many mistakes that had cost your team the game. After walking off the stage, you succumbed to all the emotions you felt in that moment, letting your body tremble as tears rushed down your cheeks, choked sobs escaping your mouth. You remember how hot your face grew as the rest of your team turned to console you, feeling self-conscious how you were supposed to be the leader, yet you allowed your emotions to get the best of you. 

Despite that, you had managed to get over the brunt of your emotions after a few days, but the message you found waiting for you today on discord had taken you by complete surprise:

✩ sunlixie sent you a message!

hi y/n! i wanted to reach out and apologize to you for how rude i’ve been to you. i’m really sorry, there’s no excuse for any of it. to be honest, i kinda just got rlly tilted from when we played our first skrims, and i guess i ended up taking anything you said the wrong way. again, there’s no excuse for this and i apologize for being that way, but i’d like to have a fresh start and be friends if you are ok w that!

oh, also, you did really great during the tournament! don’t beat yourself up for it, that was the first time we had to play all five games out in the finals, so you guys had us nervous!! 

Well, that was entirely unexpected, but as soon as you read the message, a smile broke out on your face while letting out a sigh of relief, happy to know that it had all been a rather strange misunderstanding and not something you had done. With that, you hastily wrote out a response to Felix, letting him know that all is forgiven and that you would love to be able to finally form a friendship with him. Well, maybe something good did come out of this loss.

･ﾟ·:｡･ﾟﾟ･ ✩ ･ﾟ ･ﾟ·:｡･ﾟﾟ･ﾟ·:｡･ﾟﾟ･ ✩ ･ﾟ ･ﾟ·:｡･ﾟﾟ･･ﾟ·:｡･ﾟﾟ･ ✩ ･

After playing a few league games with Felix, you both began to develop a close friendship with each other. You finally began to understand what everyone else meant when they described Felix, you were beginning to see why his username was sunlixie. The coldness you had come to know him as melted away as the days past, only to reveal that under that hardened exterior was a boy filled with so much love and gentleness, that it’d blind anyone who stared into his soul for too long. The deep tone of his voice only added to this inviting warmth, adding a layer of comfort and safety that could lull anyone in a peaceful sleep, it was no longer a scary sound that reeked with hatred. 

Eventually, you and Felix had decided to go on small outings together, usually opting to grab a bite at your local coffee shop as either of you would ramble on about a new game to try out or discuss practice for nationals. On the occasion, one of the SKZ boys would tag along or Minho, a member on your team, would join you both, but every time this happened, Felix always felt disappointed that he would miss out time with just you alone. 

Truthfully, he wanted you to himself during these rare moments, wanting to be the only one who made you laugh and be the center of your attention. Jealousy would inevitably creep up behind him, pointing out each and everyone of his insecurities while he watched you interact with the others, it whispering in his ears that you’d never look at someone like him romantically, that he’d never have a chance with someone like you. He hated how much time he had missed out on getting to know you and being your friend due to this childish rivalry, feeling jealous over how much closer you were with everyone else, especially Minho.

Of course your bond with Minho was deeper than everyone else, you had known him longer than Felix and the other SKZ boys and were teammates. Yet, the pangs of insecurity would hit his heart directly each time he’d watch you laugh at a joke Minho made, always playfully slapping his arm in a fit of laughter. 

All Felix could ever think was how much he had wished that was him, how much he wished he’d be able to make you laugh to the point of tears as the unpleasant color of green slowly festered within him, becoming more vibrant as time passed. He was crushing hard on you and he needed to do something about it before it became unbearable to deal with because he hated the unsettling feeling of jealousy.

Thus, Felix decided to finally bite the bullet and asked you to come out for some coffee today, but letting you know he needed to talk about something personal, so he’d prefer if you came alone. 

As you approached the coffee shop, you wondered what Felix could have possibly needed to discuss with you, but you were honored to know that he felt comfortable enough to reach out to you and confide in you with something so personal, which only goes to show how much closer you two have gotten. Upon entering the building, your eyes searched for Felix, finding him seated in a more secluded corner with two coffees waiting on the table. Once his eyes met yours, you waved from the entrance with a smile on your face as you skipped over to the table.

Sliding into your seat, you caught onto Felix’s jittery energy as his legs bounced while his fingers anxiously tapped against the table. His body stiffened as he met your eyes with a nervous smile. Your eyebrows furrowed upward in concern, as you never seen the boy in this state before.

“Hey, is everything okay?”

Felix’s eyes widened at your question, his body completely stilling, not completely aware of how on edge he looked from the outside. He felt a familiar warmth rush to his face as a gentle pink dusted across his cheeks and ears, the rosy color of shyness making itself nestling itself in his stomach. The buzzing flutters he had felt in his stomach earlier sped up with the drumming of his heart, his head feeling like it was about to explode as he scrambled to find the script he rehearsed last night.

“Uhm, yeah, everything’s okay. I just wanted to talk to you about something,” his voice trembled meekly, cringing at the sound of his voice.

You nodded at his words, a panicked look overtaking your face, “Oh, no, did I do something wrong? Did I upset you?”

The blonde haired boy shook his head vigorously, finding your worriedness a bit charming, “Ah, no, not at all! It’s nothing like that!”

The tension in your body dissipated, as a caring smile returned to your face, “Oh, okay. Thank god, I was scared for a bit. Then what’s up? What did you need to talk about?”

“Well, I don’t really know how to say this…” he mumbled quietly, but just loud enough for you to hear. He felt himself shrink under the intensity of your gaze, surprised to see an overwhelming amount of concern etched on your features. 

“That’s okay. Sometimes, you just gotta say it.”

He exhaled nervously, nodding in agreement with your words because he was freaking out on the inside, unable to recall any of the words he had prepared for this moment. Right, at this point, he should just say it.

“I… I like you, Y/N. I really, really like you and-”

Oh, that isn’t the reaction he thought he’d get.

You were never good at hiding your facial expressions, and this moment was no exception as your face morphed into a surprise expression, your mouth dropping as the words left Felix as the warmth you once held paled into white cast of shock and confusion. As soon as you processed his words, you bit your lips while trying to find the words to respond to the sudden confession.

“Ah, wow, thank you, I’m really flattered, but…” you paused for a moment, confusion and uncertainty laced in your voice, “you do know I’m dating Minho, right?”

[beneathsilverstars]

sometimes i worry that i write composed/academic characters like odile saying tooo many big words when a smaller one would suffice. but unfortunately that's just how i write by default and i have to let myself be free somewhere when i'm otherwise stuck in the pov of someone who really wouldn't talk like that

[kuruka1559s]

I decided to write the dialogues in English because I’m too lazy to write the translation, you know? Some of them will be in Italian, Mkay?

Barbara, Ellie, Elliot, Ori and Velvette belong to me!

Daft belongs to @fuzart !

Stripe belongs to @iknkeli

Quill belongs to @bokzbandeet

SMILETALE

Chapter 1

Barbara

Rieti, St Hyppolitus

My birthday.

It’s… my birthday.

I never liked birthdays.

Especially because… my dad died, during my birthday.

It’s odd how we can lose our loved ones in a second.

Just a second.

That’s what happened to me, and my brother.

That’s why we’re orphans.

I sit up from my bed, and my brother slams the door with a plate in his hands, a small cake in it.

“HAAAAPPY BIIIIRTHDAY TOOOO YOUUU”

“Brother please-“

“HAPPY BIRTHDAYYY TOOO YOUUUU”

“P-“

“HAPPY BIIIRTHDAYYY TOO BARBARAAAAAAAA”

“Elliot…”

“HAAAAPPYYYY BIIIIIIRTHDAYYYY TOOOO YOUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!”

Beams Elliot, while Ellie was clapping her hands.

I sigh and smile warmly.

Elliot gets inside and hands the plate to me, I grab it.

“Come on! Blow it!”

He beams eagerly, jumping from the happiness.

I blow the candles and the kids clap their hands.

“Made a wish?”

Asks Ellie, I nod.

My wish was to be a rock star, in the future.

Even if I know it won’t come true.

My brother hands me a big wrapped gift, I grab it.

“Maybe this will help you to achieve it! Come on, open it!”

Beams Elliot.

I open the gift.

It was an electric guitar, with cables and case included.

What the…

“Bro how did you-“

“AWESOME RIGHT!? I even have the cables and everything that you need to make the guitar work! See?”

Beams Elliot, interrupting me.

He shows me the cables, while I’m grabbing my new guitar.

Its colour was blue electric.

My favourite colour.

“AAAAND! FROM ELLIE….”

Yelps suddenly Elliot, grabbing another gift, but smaller.

He hands it to me, and I open it.

“A NECKLACE! Inside you can put a picture of your lovey dovey bf!”

Beams Ellie.

Weeell…

Yesterday we did something, that they don’t want to know.

…

We f-cked.

WHATEVER! THOSE ARE DETAILS! SILLY LITTLE DETAILS!

I grab the necklace and smile, it was heart-shaped, and it was yellow.

“It’s beautiful, Ellie.”

I mutter, Ellie smiles happily.

I sigh softly and get up.

“Today I have to go to School, BUT WE’LL BE BACK SOON!”

“K.”

“BYEEEEEEEE”

Screams Elliot, before running downstairs with Ellie.

They left.

Then, after some minutes, someone knocks at the door.

“Uh… excuse me? Someone here?”

“Yeah. I’m coming!”

I affirm, going downstairs.

I look at the guy.

Daft

Rieti, St Hyppolitus

I look at the girl.

She was… weird.

She had extremely long cyan hair, an eye without pupil and the left eye red, she was wearing an orange hoodie.

“Hi.”

I said.

“Hello.”

She says back.

“I… I’m Daft, it’s nice to meet ya.”

“I’m Barbara.”

She affirms, as I offer my hand for a handshake.

She shakes my hand, and of course I had to use that trick.

The cushion in my hand makes a so-called fart, and then she start laughing.

I smile a bit.

“Oh my god! The cushion in the hand trick?!”

“It’s always funny.”

“Ice one.”

“Thanks, kid.”

I state, after letting out a small chuckle at her pun.

“Let me guess, Daft, your real name is Sans?”

“… yeah, how do you know?”

“Heh. Well, It’s uhhhhhh… hard to explain. May I know how you managed to get here?”

“I wanted to use a shortcut to get home, but instead, I got here.”

“Oh… well… maybe if you do the same thing here, you can get back in your timeline!”

“Timeline?”

“A way to say your universe, ya know?”

“Oh..”

“Can you do that thing of getting a ‘shortcut’ again, right?”

“Weeell…”

“DAFT.”

“Nope.”

“ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?”

She screams in anger, after sitting down on a chair and sighing, trying to calm herself down.

She has anger issues.

Yep.

Totally.

“Sorry for that outburst.”

“No problem.”

“Can you explain to me why you can’t?”

“I can use one shortcut per day.”

“So tomorrow you can?”

“Yeah.”

“Good..”

She mutters.

I look around the place, it was a small entry who lent to the kitchen, it was pretty clean, and organised.

“Ya like it?”

She asks, I nod in approval.

“Glad to know. Sooooo…”

She mutters as she fidgets with a part of her hoodie.

“I could introduce you to the guys of the village or… nothing.”

“Meeting the others sounds good to me.”

“Yeah! Then… let’s go, I guess. My brother is coming back at home at 2 pm… meh, we have time. Come with me!”

She affirms, after we got out of her home.

We walk through her small garden, with grapes hanging on some bars.

“Soooo… up or down?”

“You choose.”

“Up, then.”

She affirms, after we start walking up a small hill, who reaches a small square, there were girls talking onto some stairs and guys playing soccer.

“Well this place is oddly… nice.”

“Yeah! This small village is called Saint Hyppolitus, it’s a small village but our lives here are nice!”

“I see… well, what do you usually do?”

“I take a walk, chat with my friends, start a fight…”

“I see- WAIT A SECOND START A FIGHT!?”

“DON’T YELL!”

“UH- right- sorry. Start a fight?!?”

“I’m not the classic girl to take a BONE with.”

“HA! good one.”

I chuckle.

A girl stands up and reaches us.

“Oh my god!”

“What?”

“Is that… a skeleton!?”

She gasps, pointing at me.

what have I done wrong now? I thought monsters were into this village.

“Ignore her, she’s stupid. The only thing that saves her is her looks.”

“Well Barbie, looks are everything for a woman.”

“Oh my satan…. Velvette, it isn’t, didn’t you hear the thousandth time someone saying that looks aren’t everything or are you just too dumb to understand that!?”

She affirms, a tone of annoyance in her voice.

So, the girl called Velvette was blonde with green eyes, she was short but for sure she totally knew how to make a stupid man fall head over heels.

“So… who’s this guy you brought with you Barbie?”

“Her name is Barbara, and I’m Daft, nice to meet you. Even if I don’t like you.”

I muttered the last part so that only Barbs could hear me.

Hm.

Barbs suits her.

Ok.

“Daft?”

“Velvette…”

“何！？Daftは愚かな名前です！マイクはもっとフィットしてい��でしょう!” (What!? Daft is a stupid name! Mike would have fitted more!)

“What did she just say? And why has she even started talking Japanese?”

“You don’t wanna know, plus, sometimes she just starts talking Japanese randomly because she can’t talk in English.”

She sighs and then starts talking Japanese.

The heck?

“ベルベット、これについて話さないでもいいですか？それは愚かで奇妙です。さらに、私は別の戦いが起こってほしくない.” (Velvette, can we not talk about this? It’s stupid and weird. Plus, I don’t want another fight to take place.)

“あなたがこのように話し続けるなら、私はあなたのお尻を叩くでしょう、そして私にそのような話をしなければよかったのに！” (If you keep talking like this I’ll beat your ass and make you wish to have never spoke to me like that!)

“ベルベット、やめてくれませんか-気にしないで。” (Velvette can you please stop it- nevermind.)

She suddenly starts to crump the knuckles of her hands.

“What is happening?”

“Our little Velvette right here wants to put up a fight.”

“And you will stop it right?”

“…”

“Right Barbara?”

I ask again.

Oh for hell’s sake…

“There’s only one way to make her REEEEEEEEEEEEASOOOONNN!-“

She suddenly dodges a punch and blocks her fist.

I take a step back, as a guy walks towards me.

“Daft right?”

“Yeah?”

“Nice to meet ya, I’m Ori.”

“Ok Ori?”

“Who do you think will win?”

“I think Barbara?”

“Yeah me too.”

He affirms skeptically.

“Come on babe! Kick her ass!”

He yells.

She kicks Velvette, as she thumbs up at Ori, with a smile, though, Velvette strikes a punch right at her nose, making it bleed.

“Shit-“

She mutters.

She takes off her hood, and she stays in her black tank top.

(Creator note: come on simps, let yourself be heard.)

Ori catches the jacket.

“戦いに集中しろ、バカ!” (FOCUS ON THE FIGHT IDIOT!)

Yells Velvette.

Barbara wipes with her hand the blood coming out from her nose as Velvette strikes another punch right at her jaw, she dodges it and contrattacks.

We kept watching, and after a while, Barbara strikes a punch that goes right on the side of her face and knocks her out, a bruise on Velvette’s cheek.

“That was easy…. Weirdly easy. Hm, well enough.”

“Awesome as always baby!”

Says Ori as he kisses Barbara’s cheek.

Ooooooooh.

They’re a couple.

I’m so stupid sometimes.

Heh.

I shrug and go close to the couple.

“That was an extremely short fight Barbara.”

“It was.”

“Good job by the way.”

“Thanks.”

Ori chuckles.

As the lovebirds kept talking I look down at Velvette.

She was keeping her eyes on me, not blinking.

…

Her eyes were red.

She had a big smile on her face, almost unnatural.

She didn’t look like a human at all, saliva came out from her mouth as she kept smiling.

What the…

I look at Barbara and I turn to look again at Velvette.

She had blue eyes and she wasn’t smiling, she wasn’t drooling at all and she wasn’t looking at me.

She isn’t human.

“Daft, you good?”

“Huh?- oh, yeah, I’m…. Good.”

I affirm.

Ori’s phone starts vibrating.

“Whoops!- uh… phone call from work- hah! Uhhhh…”

“You can go babe.”

“Thank you-“

Replies quickly Ori, he kisses Barbara’s cheek again and gives her the hoodie, after he leaves.

Barbara’s nose restarts bleeding.

“Your nose.”

“Hm?”

“It’s still bleeding.”

“Oh-“

She mutters as she wipes it with the back of her hand.

It… didn’t work.

I sigh and she shrugs.

“It’s NOT a big deal! It’s just some blood!”

“Aha… look down at your clothes.”

She looks down.

“It has some blood on it. So what?”

“I- oh my gosh, do you have something, I have nothing in my pockets.”

“I have bandages at home.”

“Let’s go.”

I sigh, and Barbara, follows me.

“There’s no need, you know?”

“I know. BUT!”

“But?”

“You can’t let the blood keep streaming down, or you’ll pass out.”

“NAAAAAH! I’m fine!-“

She exclaims before tripping and falling on the ground.

Dammit-

I help her to get up and I make her arm wrap up around my neck, she groans.

“La testaaaaaaa… porca puttana…!”

“What?”

“Hm? What…?”

“What did you say?”

“My head. I’m feeling dizzy.”

“From nosebleed?”

“Yep…”

She mutters as we kept walking back home.

Once we got in, I made her sit down on the couch and grabbed a tissue, I handed it to her, she grabs it and puts it on her bleeding nose.

I sit right next to her.

“Thank you..”

“You’re welcome.”

I reply, and we stay silent for a while.

“I have a question, Barbara.”

“Hm?”

“How do you know about this thing of… timelines?”

“Well, in my studio there’s a book. An… odd book.”

“Odd book?”

“Yes. On it there’s wrote: “Undertale”. It talks about a human fallen in the underground, and that meets monsters. People say that it’s just an urban story, but I believe that this is real. So, I kept researching for info, I wanted to know more. And I found out about this… timelines. Odd, hm? Underfell, the edgy version of the original one, Underswap, the characters, but with swapped roles… all of the timelines have their own book about it. And I searched in my studio and I found out that I had them all. Thousands of books, all with their own name. And I founded an odd one.

Smiletale.

That book was empty.”

“Nothing was wrote in it?”

“Nothing. All blank.”

“Well that’s weird.”

“Yeah… there’s also one called Undercrime. I’ve ridden it. There was a character with your name: Daft Sans.”

“My name!?-“

“Your name, yeah.”

She chuckles.

“It says you have also a friend, Stripe. He’s not the only one… there’s also Quill, no?”

“How does it know!?”

“I dunno. It just says it like it was normal.”

Barbara

St. Hyppolitus, Rieti

He groans.

“Could you bring me in the studio?”

“Yeah sure, the nosebleed stopped after all.. I’m doing better now…!”

I affirm as I get up from the couch, Daft doing the same.

We get out of the dining room, and go upstairs, where there are the bedrooms, at the left of my room there was the door who brought to a small place outside and there was a small cabin.

My studio.

“In here.”

I open the door and show it to him, it’s a minimal room, with a desk with the computer, a big bookshelf filled with books.

“Undertale, Underfell, Underswap, X-tale…. There are thousands of them..”

“Yes.”

“Caretale, Underink, Undercrime- Undercrime!”

He goes up to the bookshelf and grabs the book of Undercrime.

“This book was made by a girl named Fuzart…?”

“Maybe that is her art-name..?”

“Art what?”

“Whatever- weeeeeell… read it, hm?”

I tell him.

He opens the book.

“This is insane…!”

“It actually is. I’ve been trying to figure out why and how did this happen. Why did these… writers create these timelines with such tragic stories. And why is the Smiletale empty?”

“Maybe it’s because… the player hasn’t ended the route.”

“What?”

“The route. At the end of the book there are the possible routes.”

“And?”

“In the book of the Smiletale there aren’t the possible routes. Maybe it’s because they didn’t still end it.”

“Then what is the player waiting for?”

“I don’t know.”

“I just want everything to be fine for my brother’s sake and of the other villagers, I just have to-“

A familiar voice interrupts me, before I could finish talking.

It was Blake.

WHAT NOW!?

(Ok guys, the first chapter is VERY LONG. So I’m framing it in more parts.)

(Part 2 here)

I just thought of something: A tickling game show. In the first round all the contestants are tickled by a machine, and the top 10 or so who can last the longest without saying the safe word go on to the next round, where one more is eliminated, and so on until there's only 5 lees left.

Also, there's a twist: The lees who get eliminated each round become lers for the rest of the show, and they're divided up evenly among the remaining lees. So each episode, every lee has a few more lers until they get to the finale ("final-lee") where the last remaining lee is gang tickled by like, 20 lers while the various cameras get close ups of all their worst spots and the charismatic host narrates everything.

There's also a bonus episode where audience members can win a raffle to be part of a group that comes in and tickles their favorite contestant on camera. They can use whatever tools and methods they want, and tickle for as long as they want.

Oh, and of course as the show goes on and there's a smaller and smaller group of contestants, everyone gets to know all their worst spots and methods really well. So the tickling gets more brutal for that reason too. For example, I'm cleaning anon, so if I got to the final round it would be BATH TIME for me! 🫢😳 There I am, completely naked on TV, being scrubbed all over for hours by more hands than I can count and the teasiest teases to ever tease...

The prize is whatever tickle gift best suits the winning lee. So for me, I would choose a lifetime residency at the Tickle Spa where I would serve as a test lee for all the cleaning machines and new cleaning lees-in-training. They can practice their scrubbing technique on me as long as they need to, I'm good...

I can't believe I sent you another really long ask, I'm so sorry!!! I hope you liked it at least. If Miss Amy won the game show I would give her a personal tickle-cleaning machine AND a personal group of lers who specialize in tap-tickling and teasing.

eeeeeee I love thisss sooo much!! I want to write more but I'm falling apart at alllll the thoughtssss ~ especially with you in like a biiiiig bubbblyyy tub, round and ample enough to have allll those contestants smirking and smiling and adoring as they reach in and scrubbb a dubbb your thrashing body, catching your feeeet and armsss and using long brushesss and short fluff tools and gloved hands, handling youuu and grasping you and cleansing your ticklish skin over and over and overrrrrr as the game show music plays awayyy and the sassyyy hosts tauntttt and the audience cheeeerss ~ all the displaysss showing the meleee, from far away, up close on your face as you screeeeam giggly gaspsssss ~ zoooms on your kicking feeet and clenching toessss and grasping handssss ~ bubbles flyyying everywhere!

And ohh yess that prizeeee ~ the game show would always be catching back up with that bigggg winner showing you alllll spread out and tickle cleaned to shinyyyy gasping struggles by the latest machine, alll those swirling implements and jets of water and your cuuuuteeee pinkened cleansed body writhing and taking it allll~

eeeep that prizeeeee for meeee? Ghhhh I can'ttttt oh my gosssshh the attention of being cleaned is alone tooo much for me to handleee and I would just mmmh love and completely fallll apart at it being like a fullll makeover of cleansing and pampering and dressing and teasinggggg ~ the tapppsss at the end eeeeep~ you've melted meee darling ~<3

[sloppysequinz]

Okey sooo I’m a littyel but tipsy right now so bear with me I’ve had a bottle of wine and some sours

My fiancé is suuper into intox with me and now the weather is warmer we’re doing more of it

The deal is I drink what he makes me and he can do anything we’ve pre discussed. If I’m too drunk to walk then he doesn’t feel comfortable fucking me hilszlf because he’s supposed to be my safety, so as a ‘punishment’ for getting tpo drunk he’s allowed to advertise my incapacitated body on grinder and alll I can do is lie there and know I can’t do anything to stop them…

So a few recent ones…

He gave me a 1L cold beaker and told me to drink it while his friend was there, I had to sit in his friend’s lap, it was a slushy and was find to start with but I started feeling woozy and drynk and then his friend teased my top off and started feeling me up. Then my fiancé got between my legs and started working on me. I finished the drink and was feeling so floaty and kind of spinny but he got me a smaller one and said to finish that. Then he got his friend to hold the vibrator to my vlit while he fucked me and I cummed over and over unwillingly until I passed out. Then I think his friend got to cum in me before he left…

And last week I came anck from a feiend’s house and I was alezady drunk, he gave me a rly strong cocktail and when I finished it he tried to get me to deinl more, I tried to tell him it would make me tooo drinl but he insisted. I was right ofc lmao and next thing I new o was falling onto the couch and I was toooo fucked to move.

Setting [pt. 1]

or so

-Quick note: I will maybe release a character sheet thing(?) soon! Only issue: the characters are not developed yet. So, eventually! This entire story isn't very fleshed out yet, keep that in mind for anything I ever say, really.-

The main story is compiled of two main books (I have an ideaa for a third?? But no actual plot points at all) (and highly lack of motivation, so unlikely). Each have very different vibes, so it's good to separate them.

Book One: -dystopian -futuristic -ish?

I'm not entirely settled on this. Originally, there was going to be a magic system or superpowers involved. But I decided to scrap that (which requires more rewriting, since the hero systems were built around superpowers) (still working on that) There is still magic, but completely different than before? I think it'll mostly come off in a sci-fi type of way anyway.

The planets ebb and flow with a locked energy source. (More if there's life on them?? Not sure yet, but something like this I think) The planets are like gods, old and long forgotten, but more ancient than anything here. Magic (term used loosely) flows through the ground and they can tap into it to do stuff that's only a little of a stretch from existing things. Small stretches of reality, some people better than others. Just being in control of science like another language to nature, and the better you speak the language of the planet the more you can control. Maybe some people, like Monks kind of, that go on temple retreats for years to become connected to the magic? That'd be interesting, but anyway.

Some people are also naturally better at it. Some can use the magic for all sorts of unique things, but only barely. Others can only control a few aspects but much stronger. Some barely at all. It all depends. Kind of like how good you are at math, haha. You can practice a ton but overall sometimes some people's minds just click faster and work less for it.

There's also lots of weird fantasy-type things. Still figuring out how many if at all new creatures and nature things are changed (because a LOT will change in the second book). I don't want to keep it too close to Earth, but I don't want it tooo fantasy vibes, either. Some ideas so far, though:

-Sea creatures work differently >smaller sea creatures can fly in the air (idk what qualifies as small, though, because manta rays can but whales can't. maybe I'll do only the small reef manta rays?) >And fish could too, but not too much, but it'd be interesting >Idea: maybe gravity is a little lighter here too? So people can jump around more and have cool rooftop scenes, idea, idk >manta rays are used for large travel, like trains or planes maybe >originally with the powers it was power based, so I need to figure out more explanations now >but anyway, you climb into the mouth of a manta ray and they put you to sleep and cover you in a neon green goo, then when you arrive they clean the goo off and that brings you awake. so no travel time in your eyes, and if something bad happened (nothing currently in the book but cool perspective, or maybe a hero rescue mission?) while inside you wouldn't age or notice. so you could wake up stranded years later with no time passed to you. maybe it could just be mentioned in a news thing? Like "oh wow, they just found a fallen manta ray with a clipped wing- there was a whole batch of missing people in stasis inside" random thought I dunno >There'll be a scene later with Blondie and Hero where they jump around on top of a field of flying, glowing jellyfish >That's all so far I just like the concept lol so I need to figure out more ideas with it too

-Ocean is broken >Relating to the sea creatures thing, the ocean is deadly to people (is it weird to call them humans? Like, it's not Earth exactly, but. Idk) >I don't know why yet though- too much salt, like the dead sea? Or too acidity? No idea. Maybe it's not actually toxic but there are so many deadly overwhelming sea creatures (that don't fly) that it's practically toxic? Poisonous? To be determined. >Maybe there's a certain type of animal you cAn ride inside- something see-through? Or a giant type of angler fish? Squid? Idk >So maybe because of this I'll need to add a ton of crazy sea creatures. Orr leave it a big mystery, who knows

-Okay now moving on from that type of stuff (we'll get more into it with book two though!) -Cityscapes >I want lots of city-vibes, probably (and ample hero & villain rooftop moments) with high skyscrapers >Possible idea: I was thinking maybe the sea levels have been rising, maybe there was a time a while ago with it idk, and if so lots of the old city are falling apart underwater, unreachable. And most buildings now would be designed to hold from this and maybe the bottoms built to not actually start until above water with deep support systems, but some older ones would be just normal buildings a little underwater that you skip over (might not go with this fs though) >Probably lots of smaller, poorer suburbs surrounding the big city points but I'm not sure how much or the dynamics yet >Probably a few big cities centered around hero work but without powers I still need to reevaluate things >Also need to work on figuring out differences across the globe. Are some countries less interested in hero work? Are some more high tech? Are some more known for other things? Are some flying sea creatures only in specific areas? Is the planet too small to care? Is it less differentiated or is there strong cultural ties?

-High tech! >More of the dystopian aspect but I want probablyy more tech-based things (especially w/o power systems) >Maybe tech amplifiers? As in, specific things used to amplify certain magic qualities, or storing it for higher use? >Hologram wristbands, I think, instead of phones (or both?) (or maybe only hero agencies use the holograms much) >Need to figure out fighting stuff w/o powers >Also, maybe include things like flying or strong powered jump boots or antigravity boots? (Idk I just was really sad to give up mid-air battle scenes and floating, taunting villain lmao) >Maybee some type of tech things to get to each building so they often scale buildings and jump across rooftops. Because that's a vibe

-Government setup >I want a kingdom-type set up, I think >Maybee like Nimona with mixing futuristic with medieval? To a degree, but idk >The Hero (mc, still nameless) needs to be the son of someone important- either the king, ruler, military general- someone. Later his dad dies unexpectedly and he has to rule the military during the battle. >If it is a king and queen setup, I still want a government system, though. Not sure how but something more balanced. Probably also sector leaders. Should it be a bunch of kingdoms? Some more so than others? Some more focused on certain things than others? Or a big sole ruler with multiple mini leaders of kingdoms under it to organize the peace? I don't want world peace necessarily, but the battles are more hero vs villain focused than country vs country. Dunno how to balance that well, or how to make sure there's enough villain things for it anyway. Maybe a rebellion is starting?

>idea: in order to become the next ruler you need to spend a certain amount of years training under one of the Monk temples, learning to let go of previous thoughts and become one with the earth. Because maybe in order to understand the nature, and let it understand you, you simply cannot be evil. The two don't go together. Also maybe, what if there's a type of fruit or fungi or vine or something that vines up your arm when you're trying to become crowned, and it digs thorns into you and reveals if you're ready. Either glows or allows you to bleed a specific color or something like that, to show you are connected enough. Like how you can manipulate specific things using the magic of the planet, this is one thing that only if you are ready can you do. Also this way anyone could train to become the ruler if they wanted (if lots of people became ready, maybe a large test ceremony to determine your skills? Not just battle but problem solving and decision making and quick thinking as well as kindness) and it's not just royal bloodline, it's someone specially connected enough to their planet to understand the needs of being a great ruler >Government isn't completely evil. Maybe morally grey, but not really in the wrong. As much as I like the trope of hero slowly realizing that they were fighting on the wrong side, that's not what this hero -> villain story is exactly. It's literally a hero to villain. Being forced to make more and more morally grey decisions, put in situations that make you choose, examine how far you're willing to go until you break, until you're too far gone. Trying to justify everything for so long until you lose the connecting thread, and are only left with yourself and what you've become. >Anyway that's to say that the government will have flaws, of course, as all do, but the story isn't about it being secretly corrupt- at least not horribly

I think this is all I can think of for now! Let me know any questions, and sometime soon I (probably) will continue with a part two for book two.

Also, just, in general feel free to tell me anything you want to know about this story- I really want to info dump and talk about absolutely everything (this is also a good way for me to organize all my thoughts) but I'm not sure how. I'll go through the actual story itself soon, too! Dump a bunch of plot, so until then here's these random threads
