[v1v-1en]

People had transitioned from standing to sitting on the stone floor, leaning against each other or laying in one another’s lap to try and get what little sleep they could. Tessa was wide awake, going over the plan again and again to keep herself from worrying too much, picking at her nails. A child must have woken up from a nightmare, their cries drawing her from her trance as a woman tried to calm them down with hushed whispers.

Special post with a snippet that won't be happening in the story for a while yet, but I can promise that the next chapter I post will be a longer one!!

[starmocha]

The chat is literally titled "I Miss You" 🥺

So he concocted a plan and bribed a child patient to help him lmao

Zayne having Cindy send voice messages to MC from his phone during work at the hospital 🥹🥹🥹

Can you just picture him directing her on what to say? Like, he was probably in the patient room checking in or in the middle of an examination, and maybe Cindy notices he looks a little sad, so the two worked out this plan and Zayne coaches her on what to say 🥹🥹🥹🥹

The mental image of Zayne stopping Cindy from revealing his treachery 😭😭

"[...] and I get what I want." ZAYNE??? SIR??? THE AUDACITY. ok babe whatever you want ily

✦ OH, IN A BLINK, GONE!

✦ a monochrome record of Blink Gone with one sticker for Otoya Eita!

event post

Another fling. That's all that this was.

Otoya Eita. You know how popular he is, how easily he gets bored of relationships, and how he flirts with a new girl every other week. Your friends have disapproved of him, and you brushed them off, claiming that it was just another casual thing, that you aren't that far into him.

What a lie.

He had you hooked, head over heels. Crawled a way into your mind and stayed until you were addicted. Even when you knew this wouldn't last more than a few weeks, you held onto a thread of hope that you could fix him— that maybe he'll reciprocate the feelings you felt— and everything will go well.

You're not an idiot, but you were a hopeless romantic. You hoped. Even when deep inside, you knew you couldn't change him.

“Hey. Let's break up.”

In a blink, gone.

Otoya said it all too casually, like discussing the weather. Not even a hint of any other emotion other than nonchalance. A trademark of his character. And you wished he broke out of that indifference, because maybe then, you could've fooled yourself into thinking this hurts him, too. It would've made everything a bit easier to swallow.

You really were just a fling, and one that he has grown bored with. The rest were a blur, with choked up words and a crushing weight on your chest.

Those feelings still lingered, even as weeks have passed. Even with loud music blasting and vibrant neon lights, it still wasn't enough to drown out the piercing burn, the suffocating smoke that stuck in your throat and pricked at your eyes.

No amount of alcohol was enough to get you tipsy enough to tear your gaze away. Away from the man you promised a future with— a promise that's now being shared with someone else. It makes you feel sick, but you can't look anywhere else but him.

Not when Otoya is someone you can't ever forget.

“Araya Souren is dead?”

How unexpected. As far as Kosaku was aware, the quiet hojutsu specialist was someone who liked keeping to themselves and their research. Araya-san was a little brusque sometimes, certainly, but surely that was not enough of an affront to warrant killing him over it.

“Yeah, haven’t you heard?” Kosaku’s cousin leans in secretively. Almost unconsciously, Kosaku also leans towards the other man, tilting his ear. “Apparently, he got done in by that girl he adopted.”

Kosaku’s jaw drops, “You’re kidding!”

“I’m not! I got this from a reliable source!” His cousin insists. “They found her standing over his bloody corpse with a knife, can you believe it? Not even a complete corpse. She sliced him into pieces.”

“… Isn’t he her adoptive father?” Kosaku asks, morbidly curious by the horror story that he’s hearing.

“He is! He’s raised her for years, even –and this is how things turned out in the end,” the other young man shakes his head pityingly. “Such a shame, isn’t it? Araya-san was nice enough, he didn’t deserve to go out like that.”

Hmm. Kosaku wouldn’t say that Araya Souren was nice, exactly. There were many individuals much more personable and affable than stoic, silent Araya-san. But he was a decent sort who took his research seriously and was dedicated to his work. He didn’t deserve to go out like that –not from a knife in the back from the child that he’d raised.

Really, one would think that the girl would be grateful for the man who’d rescued her from the pitiful fate that awaited her as a servant of the Kamo Clan. It wasn’t unusual for sorcery clans to purchase themselves some ‘new blood’ every so often, and Kosaku is well familiar with the sort of despicable things that his former clan practices. Not a day goes by when Kosaku is not fervently glad that he left the toxic cesspit that was the Kamo Clan when he did; he’s also done fairly well for himself since striking out on his own, even coming under the service of Special Grade sorcerer Tsukumo Yuki–

It’s a pity that things hadn’t gone nearly as smoothly for Araya-san’s career.

Once, the man had been in the midst of negotiations to become one of the Kamo Clan’s retainers… right around the time when Nanami Shiki had been sold to the Kamo Clan. From what Kosaku recalls, Araya-san had even been offered generous terms for his unique specialty and for his research, but he’d turned it all down.

Spurning the Kamo Clan was reckless, but he’d done so anyway. Araya-san chose to save the girl.

… If Araya-san had any enemies, then it would almost certainly be the Kamo Clan, who didn’t take well to having been slighted and stolen from. But it had been almost a decade since then. Even though the Kamo Clan had naturally retaliated in the beginning, Araya-san had proved his defenses competent and eventually they’d settled into an uneasy balance…

There’s no use musing over any of that anymore, though. Araya-san is dead. Killed by the ungrateful girl whom he’d raised like his own daughter.

Kosaku sighs. “There’s really no justice in this world, huh?”

[aashwarr]

old memories. "I was in Oasis Springs to get away from the city. I met Moses at the resort I was staying at and slept with him a few hours later. It was impulsive, but I didn't regret it. That night was almost ten years ago... ...and I still think about it often."

[jusst-you-race]

I basically eat breathe and live carcar, not only as a romantic pairing but also as a purely petty beef pairing so would be fun to read something about them!

And maybe brocedes👀 totally up to you if you want them to be exes or just work enemies

Love the fic!🩷

thank you carcar anons don't you worry i too am fully on board and have been for a while so i give you the gift of carcar if it was canon in ccc mwah (also here is some brocedes) for the ccc snippet prompts

Oscar did you leave in the middle of the night?

Carlos We do not normally stay over 

Oscar yeah but I said you could sleep here 

Carlos And I did 

Oscar it’s not even 7am and your side of the bed is cold 

what fucking time did you leave?

Carlos I didn’t look 

Oscar sure 

I thought we were finally getting somewhere

Carlos What is that supposed to mean?

Oscar I dunno 

Carlos Where is there to get to?

Oscar what so you’re happy with how things are?

just having sex whenever you’re in the mood?

and maybe an argument if we’re lucky?

Carlos You initiate sex too

Oscar wow 

literally not the point 

Carlos Well you are not making it very clear to me that you are wanting more!

How am I supposed to guess this?

Oscar I told you to sleep here last night 

Carlos And this is supposed to be what? A declaration of love?

Oscar no what the fuck 

stop being an asshole 

I just thought maybe we could stop awkwardly leaving immediately afterwards like it’s some kind of 

transaction 

Carlos But it is a transaction 

Oscar right 

cool 

well at least I know where I stand I guess

Carlos Why are you upset I thought this is what you wanted?

You were the one who said we could just “help each other out” when we wanted to 

Oscar yeah four months ago 

I thought that maybe in all that time

well I guess it doesn’t matter 

clearly we’re not on the same page

Carlos Ay maybe if you use your words sometimes I will know what it is you are thinking 

You want this to stop? 

You are not happy with what we are doing?

Oscar no! 

Carlos No what?

Oscar no I don’t want to stop 

I want more!

fuck Carlos 

when someone asks you to stay the night it normally means they want to 

fucking 

I dunno cuddle in the morning or something 

Carlos You want to cuddle?

Oscar maybe! 

but you’ve never stayed to find out!

Carlos You have also never stayed

Oscar well you never asked me to 

Carlos I see

I think we are both stupid

Oscar what is that supposed to mean 

Carlos Open your door I am standing in the corridor 

Oscar ?

Carlos Because 

I also want to cuddle 

Or something 

Oscar oh 

Carlos Yes oh

Now open the door idiota

“I’m perfectly reasonable.” “That look in your eyes tells me you aren’t.” “That look in your eyes tells me you like it.” Sirius grins, won’t deny his boy the truth. “If I can’t flaunt my heritage once in a while, what’s it good for?” “Not your money I’m after,” Harry replies easily, propping himself up on his elbow to rest his head on his palm, a lazy smile stretching over his face. Dangerous territory.

[midnight1nk]

So, this week's episode...

[spoilers below cut]

I KNEW IT!!! I knew that one of the two episodes left of the year had to be a holiday one aha!! *LE GASP* does that mean the last one will be sonic 3?

*nods* respect 👏

A Christmas special with TARI, oooh! and noticeably a shorter one too, huh. alright, let's-a GOOOOOOOO

(the following is my live reaction:)

aww, look at Tari being adorable (see that's how you get me, have my favorite characters do cute little hops and my life is yours)

bringing back the side characters LET'S GOOOO

CLENCH omg you're back I hope you can stay for the whole episode

ooooh tari's christmas list just dropped. hmmm let's see...

Saiko = KFC Theme Guitar (honestly slay) Mario = Spaghetti Necklace (whether he's going to wear or eat it, he'll enjoy it regardless) Kaizo = Scythe Polish Luigi = Gardening Kit SMG4 = Body Oder Spray (my man can't catch a break, "he stinks" canon) Belle = Nintendo Switch Case SMG3 = Dog Grooming Kit (for Eggdog awwww) Melony = How to draw Manga book (nice callback to "SMG4 and SMG3 Shop For Cursed Items" episode for Christmas shopping) Whimpu = Glasses Repair Kit Boopkins = Body Pillow Cleaning Kit (...) Bob = Karaoke Machine (that's actually sweet considering he is a rapper and the obvious choice would be a gun or smth, tari's a good friend) Rob = Corn Keychain

the cliche superhero transition *wheeze*

can I just say I love the fit Mario has on

1920's spaghetti?

i did not expect to see Sonic 06 (foreshadowing, eh?) and as a sonic fan, i gotta respect the hustle

now, i know it's supposed to be disgusting and you obviously have to put gross things here to convey that but... there's that eye imagery again.... *flashbacks ensue*

oooh Christmas party! I wanna see that!

aww tari did get clench a glove, maybe she didn't want to spoil the surprise too soon

also let's take a moment for that board in the bg:

"Random Text Here Shameless Advertising Happy Birthday smg4!" then something signed by a "Fan"

gotta love the small details

gonna be using this as a reaction pic for now on

Mario, don't you guys have a basement? pretty sure no one will grab the bag in there

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA OMG OMG THERE'S NO WAY THIS IS REAL THEY ACTUALLY USED CANTRO'S OUTFIT DESIGN FOR THIS EPISODE THAT'S AWESOME DUDE (am aware that the Team used the model before in a previous ep but it was only shown for a few seconds, this is BIG)

new merch, eh?

...i'll take your entire stock

Oh Tari, it's okay to say no. Four did ask if you had time

beautiful commercial....wha? Bob, da hell are you doing? oh the usual

charity? understandable, have a good day

PFFT HAHAHAHA that grenade bit somehow got me

oh Four somehow teleported outside, chair and all

*wheeze* the way they just latch on the back of the cop car like that

BOOPKINS? ...yeah I should've seen that coming. and he's on a toddler seat too

question for the people: is UNO a board game? if not, then boopkins, you got it wrong buddy

RIGHT NOW?! boopkins she's got her hands full

GEEZ even I'm getting stressed

gonna be real here: it was actually a good choice to have the plot at a faster pace just so we could feel Tari's stress rapidly building up

oh hey Meggy's matching with Mario (love that for the M&M siblings) but Saiko, girl, please get yourself a coat :( you're gonna freeze

OH GOD Tari, i need you to breathe please! all of this is stressing you out, it's okay to say no

...oh no

i can't look dude, i know Tari's technically fulfilling everyone's wishes but this isn't the way to go :(

C'MON TARI, HOPE YOU CAN MAKE IT IN TIME PLEASE

NO NO NO *flips table* oh poor Tari

OH NO CAN I GIVE HER A HUG PLEASE? *shakes my laptop screen* LET ME INNNNNNN

WTF NO SHE DOESN'T DESERVE THIS

TARI DON'T LISTEN TO THOSE VOICES IN YOUR MIND, YOU ARE A GOOD FRIEND

...three? let me turn the brightness up

yeah that's Four's model but for some reason has Three's voice and line.... huh... (I'll come back to this later)

dude, i literally had to pause and leave the room

fuck you got me tearing up. Team, is that what you wanted from me?

no tari, it wasn't your fault :( you didn't ruin anything

YES TELL HER, SAIKO

STAWP I'M THIS 🤏 CLOSE TO FULL-ON SOBBING WTF

FAMILY IS FOUND 👏👏👏

...wha? Three?

wait, this whole episode was you were retelling what happened to Tari, to Eggdog?

...that actually puts things in a whole new context (I'll talk about it later)

*gets hit by the book*

AY Congrats to Mango for your art being featured in the end credits! 🎉 what an awesome Christmas gift from the Team honestly

.・-: ✧ :--: ✧ :-・.

This was a fantastic Christmas special! This really punched me in the gut (but in a good way). Everything, as always, was amazing. Excellent job, Team!!! Too bad Clench couldn't be in the whole episode.

Oh Tari, my girl :( I felt the emotional rollercoaster along with her and I just wanted to give her a giant hug.

Me 🤝 Tari → people pleasers with a dose of abandonment issues

Tari, I've been there and I promise your friends aren't gonna leave you. What you can offer, what you're able to, that is worth something. It doesn't need to be material, just being a part of their lives is enough. No matter how big, because to them, it could mean a lot more than what you think.

It's what I've been struggling too, that the people who have approached me only wanted what I could offer, but not as a person. And it takes time to heal and open up again to people who are worth opening up to, but you'll get there.

So, to remind you (yes, the one behind the screen): you are enough. We are enough. What you do, means a lot more to other people than what you think. You'd be surprised how much a second of your presence means to people, and they value that. It's why it's okay to say no when you aren't able to, they'll understand if they truly do care for you. I promise, time will come around for you to find the good ones.

That's why I love this show. It isn't just a "silly meme show", it's so much more than that. Yes, it does have its funny moments but it can be emotional, dramatic, exciting. And even relatable. That's the point of stories. Like I said countless times before:

Every story, no matter how outlandish it seems, is grounded in reality.

That's why I'm glad this was one of the last episodes of the year, to bring it all back that it's a story that we all can relate to in some way. That we aren't alone. Grab each other by the hand and take one day at a time.

Oh boy, sorry for that emotional stuff. Just wanted to bring some comfort 💙 With that, I'm gonna bring back what was the most interesting of this episode: SMG3

It wasn't until the very end that we realized this whole episode was Three retelling Tari's story not only to Eggdog but also to Terrance.

(If I remember the layout correctly, right in the same nook above the fireplace is where Terrance's photo is placed)

So, yes, he is reading a bedtime story to both of his sons. (just gonna cry in the corner for a second) He's such a dad 🥺

Anyway, i shall put my theorist goggles on:

Back in the part when Tari was too late to buy the Crew presents and the voices in her head were bashing her for failing, we have SMG3 for some reason come in:

To be clear, that's Four's model (notice the lack of chip of the cap) but Three is the one saying: "And I thought I was evil..." Other than being the narrator, Three wasn't in the story, so the question is why?

The obvious would be that the Team simply made a mistake and forgot that they placed this in. Ok, sure, that's if it was on accident. But what if they did it on purpose?

As Three stated in the episode "Trash Friends", he truly believes he's "the worst version of SMG4"

Think about it: the basic roles for them are Four as the hero and Three as a villain.

If Three was ever in an episode all of a sudden is because he is the negative force of the story. Recall back to the episode "Meme Hunters" when Three was forced to be "the conflict" of the episode.

Now, it may seem harmless but to him, he was afraid to be perceived as nothing more than "SMG4's cheap and worst copy"

And also in "You Used to Be Cool", people have noticed when he does lay back a bit from the usual villain/rival role and bash him saying, "This isn't you."

Hero or villain, you're seen differently by everybody

Then there was the whole "moral of the story" part:

Ofc, it's a whole thing that Three refuses time after time that he's not friends with the Crew

Now with the context that we have, we just got a peek into Three's fears/insecurities. Basically: if he opens up and accepts that he has friends, they might try and take advantage of him. So, what should he do? Close himself off, be an asshole, and deny, deny, deny.

Despite risking literally everything, INCLUDING HIS OWN LIFE, for them, he's doing this to protect himself from emotional harm when he's the most vulnerable.

There's indeed a trope that villains, especially redeemed ones, would have a sense of empathy of some kind. They know what's like to hit rock bottom, it's why they can empathize with the people who least deserve it, like Tari. (Even with Four back in IGBP.) So yes, as much as this is a story about Tari, it also relates to Three.

How can you have what you want when you're the one holding yourself back?

Three: "I also need love, understanding, and tenderness." [IGBP movie, Spanish dub] Three: " I just want the USB in that spaghetti in your stomach so I can use it to gain fame and love that SMG4 has too much of, okay?!" Mario: "...Is that it? Silly SMG3, you could of just told Mario instead of suppressing your inner emotions and your fear of being forever forgotten." [Trash Friends]

I mean, look at the last episode, he was so happy to know he got fanart.

The pressure he has, the role he has to play, what he's perceived as. It all affects him. Sure, he doesn't care that he's not perceived as the standard definition of a villain but he is really as human as he can be, with fears and desires.

Another way to see the "failure" part of the episode is that Three could never see Four in a negative light. Sure, Four has made terrible mistakes but past the YouTube Arc, Three has never seen Four as a villain (again, the role of the hero thing). Four is flawed just as he is, but since he's the one telling Tari's story, he replaces Four with himself in the narrative.

It's not confirmed it's because he cares about Four in this instant but it's obvious he has done it on purpose. All because that's the role he plays, one he absolutely fears, "an evil and worst copy of Four".

(For all we know, he might've altered some other things in the story we haven't even known about.)

AND the fact that he's telling it like a bedtime story to his son(s) as a warning, so they don't go through what he went through when he was younger (his whole parenting of reminding them that they're loved and appreciated for even the smallest things)

So, long story short: me 🤝 Tari 🤝 SMG3 → underlining abandonment issues

I've been noticing that a lot of points from past episodes are starting to resurface again (like IGBP) and I do hope we get to bring back what's going on with Three. Then, we might get Three having the same conclusion that Tari went through: as much as he wants to deny it to protect himself, he'll realize that it's okay to be vulnerable and have friends.

And he'd be surprised how much of what he did was valuable to them. That what he seeks is already right in front of him. After all, he's already part of the Crew :)

He would just have to let himself avert his view and see the truth.

HEHEHEHE

“Oscar!” Charles exclaims, when Oscar wanders through the door the next morning, impressive levels of zombie state. He startles when Charles says his name, like he forgot he was actually out and about for a moment.

“Morning,” Oscar mumbles, a rosy blush on his cheeks. It must be getting cold out, the last wisps of summer finally officially melting into autumn. “Can I just get a blueberry muffin this time?”

“And your drink?” Charles says, leaning on the counter, fluttering his lashes in the way he’s seen Lando successfully do before, whenever he needed Carlos to do shit for him.

“Uh,” Oscar says. “Oh, uh…” He pauses. “Are you okay? Do you have something in your eye?”

“What?” Charles asks, stops fluttering.

“No, just, you were like. All twitchy?” Oscar’s flush has returned, coloring his cheeks and creeping down to his neck.

“No, I’m,” Charles sighs. “I’m okay. But, your drink? We have an absolutely delicious Apple Pie Frappuccino on the board today.” He throws in a wink for good measure.

“Are you sure your eye is okay?” Oscar asks.

Charles suppresses the urge to thunk his head down onto the counter. This is not going how he envisioned it. “My eye is fine,” he grits out. “Drink?”

“Oh,” Oscar says. “Small Americano?”

Goddamnit.

KILLER7 - HEAVEN SAYS [SMILE]

[neon-kazoo]

Chomp

Hero found themselves in quite a precarious position, swinging upside down with their foot caught in a snare.

Now, this wasn’t exactly uncommon for them. Getting caught in a trap was nothing new. Such was the perilous life of a hero after all. What was unusual, though, was the pit of crystal clear water beneath them.

Oh, and the dozen or so sharks swimming around in it.

They were suspended over a pool fit for Olympic swimming. Hero was no marine biologist, but they were pretty sure those sleek grey fish weren’t dolphins.

Coarse rope dug into their ankle, but Hero found they didn’t mind too much. They had the core strength to be able to reach the knot but, unfortunately, untying it would probably send them plummeting into the water, and Hero wasn’t particularly up for such a literal swim with the fishes today.

Deciding to save their strength, Hero hung limp, tucking their shirt into their pants and leaving their arms to flop loosely with gravity.

Soon, the one responsible for their current predicament made themselves known from the ground.

“Welcome, Hero!” The villain’s voice boomed excitedly.

There was no catwalk, nothing covering the top of the tank. That left Villain to stand next to the glass at the bottom and having to yell up the dangling hero.

Before Hero could think to ask what they were doing here, Villain answered unprompted, “I wanted to show you my new collection!”

“Is this…legal?” Hero questioned, the words difficult to form with the blood rushing to their head.

“Absolutely not!” The villain exclaimed.

Right. That was probably the point.

“Are they…ok?”

Hero blinked hard, trying to stay present in the conversation.

“Who? Bruce, Anchor, Chum, Brooklyn, Barbara, Mark, Lori, Robert, Kevin, Lennie, Daymond, Nado, and Krill?

Their processing was gradually slowing down but those names seemed…oddly familiar.

“The…the sharks.”

Hero supposed they didn’t look too unhappy, chilling in their own space, not circling for an impending meal. Hero certainly couldn’t claim animal cruelty with the size of the aquarium. The oversized fish must be well fed to be able to coexist like this, which was…concerning for the hero, to say the least.

Their vision blurred as they watched a pointed fin breach the surface.

They realized belatedly that they were about to pass out.

“And they’re just fine with each other?”

“Oh, you see, that’s where my new invention comes in-“

The sound of Villain’s voice faded out as Hero’s consciousness slipped away.

…

They awoke to the sight of teeth flashing in front of them. They tried to scramble back before their brain could process the several-feet thick wall between them and the apex predator.

“You’ve been quite a rude guest.”

Hero turned to the source of the voice, finding Villain standing over them. The rope that had previously entrapped just one ankle now looped both feet together, as well as connecting both their wrists.

“I’m…sorry?” Hero spoke carefully.

That seemed like a reasonable answer, given their ultimate goal of not ending up as chum.

“You fainted before I could finish my monologue,” Villain pouted, crossing their arms and looking down at the Hero sitting against the wall of the tank.

“That’s…uh, my bad,” Hero answered, preoccupied with wondering when the sharks’ last meal was.

“Please, continue.”

Villain crouched down, looking intently into the Hero’s eyes as they started to explain.

“First, you have to understand the aggression patterns of bull sharks vs those of great whites and tigers…”

And that’s how Hero learned way more about Selachimorpha than they ever wished to know.

@ficwip word game wednesday: tight

Glancing around the room, she wasn't the only dancer who seemed to gravitate towards darker colors. One of them being Xaden Riorson. He looked a little sweatier now, a few strands of dark hair clumped together where they hung over his forehead, but still put-together. In control. He wore black bike shorts that showed off the powerful muscles of his thighs and calves, and a tight black shirt that strained against his built chest and the mantle of his shoulders. His body screamed power—the kind of power that made for explosive, virtuosic performances. The kind of power that separated once-in-a-generation talent from the rest of the population.  Which he was, as Violet knew from experience.

[nemaliwrites]

there is something..i have been working on. not really sure if i'll post this one, but here is a lil snippet hehe

There are no words, Shadybug thinks, to describe the color of blood. 

Red just doesn't cut it. Ruby, brick, rust -- none of them are the right fit for the thin stream of liquid currently welling out of the tip of her finger. Self-inflicted, of course; as though she'd ever let anyone else get close enough to hurt her.

She tosses her Lucky Charm knife back and forth, judging the best place to make her next incision. It's something of a hobby of hers: how much harm can she cause before her Miracle Cure refuses to fix what's been done?  The earrings -- she knows better than to think of them as hers -- have a responsibility to protect their holder. But how far does that go? They'll stitch these cuts together, but would they do the same if it were her stomach she'd sliced open?

Could they make her still heart beat again?

Eyes on her, then. A bright smile. Fake, fake, fake. 

Go ahead and try, Adrien Agreste says from a few meters away. Cut out your heart. It's not like you need it, right? See who'll miss you then.

Or that's what he would say, if billboards could talk.

"Shut up," Shadybug tells him plainly. It doesn't feel as good as she hoped it would. "Instead of staring at me all night, why don't you make yourself useful, huh?"

But to be useful, there has to be something of use, first. She's been out here for hours without a single kamiko to show for it. They're all watching her, she knows. Hesperia, the Supreme, Adrien fucking Agreste -- all waiting to see just how long it'll take before she gives up. Flies back home, antennae drooping and wings clipped. 

If they want to watch so bad, then she'll give them something to watch. Carefully, Shadybug drags the tip of her knife down the length of another finger. Cutting through suit and skin. Easy as breathing. She is Sleeping Beauty, and the knife her prince. Its kiss waking her, putting her to sleep, all at once.

can you pleaseeeeee release a itty tiny bit of snippet of say cheese 😗😔

✧*̣̩⋆̩☽⋆゜ episode two: say, "cheese!" snippet. 18+ only. mdni. ✧*̣̩⋆̩☽⋆゜

Daniel laughs and you consciously make an effort to smile freely, the metal glint of your brackets shimmering under the afternoon Monte Carlo sunlight. He raises his hand to hold your jaw, his thumb brushing along the brown skin of your jawline then ghosting over your bottom lip, and his smile softens at the sight of yours.

“All I see is a really pretty woman, with a really pretty smile, and pretty braces. The light blue looks very pretty on you, baby.”

“Whatever you say, Danny,” you say, your tone impassive.

Daniel cocks his head, bothered, and his smile fades.

“What—you think I’m lying?”

Shifting your weight, you drop your gaze unable to meet the rising intensity in his eyes. You try to move your jaw out of his grasp but his hold tightens—firm. He doesn’t apply any more force than he needs to, it’s enough to have your eyes snapping back to meet his and stutter through an answer.

“I-I didn’t say that,” you murmur, “I meant that I personally don’t think they’re pretty.”

“Ok,” Daniel nods, “Kneel.”

“I’m sorry,” you choke out, “What?”

And then you notice his pupils are dilated, his breathing is heavy—and naturally, you glance downwards. What was previously obviously seen in his gray sweatpants is now unignorable. When you quickly glance back up towards Daniel to see if you’re on the same wavelength, he doesn’t repeat himself. You lick your lips anxiously before delicately dropping to your knees.

Daniel hums in approval and moves his left hand to tuck a stray curl behind your ear. 

“Are you going to let me show you how much I like your braces?”

You nod up at him eagerly yet your eyes are focused on the bulge stationed directly in your eyeline. Daniel laughs throatily, his left hand slipping to the nape of your neck, fisting in your hair to tilt your head further back. 

His right hand slowly unties the drawstring of his sweatpants, and he coos down at you, “Can you show me your pretty smile first?”
