#the secret third thing being them learning that they are capable of loving and being loved

[team-sleeps]

Ik I usually imagine sad things but I'm just here to say I think Stone and Robotnik should have freaky complicated sex to Closer by Nine Inch Nails under the multicolor LEDs of the crab, and I don't think it would heal them or make them worse but rather a secret third thing

[theempressofthenile]

Astro thoughts : short n sweet <3 moonshinin' <3

Moon in the first house - Very empathetic sweet creatures. Def could be used a lot by people that they love and trust because they can be very giving to their energy a little too much. Attractiveness is through the roof as their auras are usually more open. Very smooth, soft bodies and have an innocent energy around them majority of the time. Its hard to stay mad at them.

Moon in the second house - They need time alone so they can get their thoughts in check. This is a taurus ruled house, so sometimes their emotions can be thru the roof, but they can be extremely level-headed/grounded with the way they move through their circumstances. Money can flow to them smoothly if they keep their focus high on the prize. Other wise, they can be duped by peasants with their fortune if they are not careful.

Moon in the third house - Very practical, intelligent nature. Honest and self aware. Very deep and can bond with anyone if you let them. Truly can keep you on your toes with each convo they have. Can talk to much, or can be way too quiet No in between. Can make a friend outta anyone tbh.

Moon in the fourth house - Light hearted nature. Very sweet and kind to anyone they meet but they keep to themselves a lot. They do NOT like too many people in they're space and it is a treasure to meet them AND to have them around 24/7 because they do not like being around just anybody. You gotta be more complex to get to know them, they are truly a one of a kind. Mysterious nature.

Moon in the fifth house - Great actors. Have a lot of gifts in the arts and could soothe people's emotions with them if they allow their vulnerable side to show. Children LOVE them and are usually inspired by them. The personality of this individual is raw, gentle and nurturing and they must be protected.

Moon in the sixth house - Boundaries is a big thing for this group. Gotta keep their energy in check because they can almost be like in hermit mode. Needs friends that understand their nature to keep them balanced. Animals and plants are their best friend.

Moon in the seventh house - Can have issues with lovers do to their high intensity with their emotions. It's almost like people can't see them for who they are and theirs a lot of potential of a transformative love. With the moon shining its light here, they are almost capable of turning anyone into a special relationship if the chemistry permits.

Moon in the 8th house - Beautiful souls that have a gift in penetrating the minds, souls and bodies of the people they meet. They have internal woes that never seem to make it to the sky, but they know how to water them and make them grow in the ground. True balance is needed with them so they almost always are going thru dark nights of the soul just to get them their. They have a lot to learn, but also so much to show to themselves and others as the journey is a long beautiful one in the end.

Moon in the ninth house - Captivating souls who are needing to bond with people who can change the perception of their mind through the eyes of travel or simply growing in this lifes journey. They know a lot about their favorite topics and would love to share it with anyone who wants to listen to them. Calming auras who enlightens you with the way they think, and are meant to teach and inspire in some way, shape, or form.

Moon in the tenth house - The sweet talkers of the group. The audience just adores them. You really can't stay mad at them for to long. They have sensual energy and people feel this right away. Celebrity energy. Secretive by nature. Most don't know a lot about you, even if your emotional state is in full view to everyone. Masters of manipulation, don't say I didn't warn you ;)

Moon in the eleventh house - Can make friends as soon as they walk out of their house. Shy and reserved in new environments but tend to be a lot sweeter and open up when their comforted. Has a unique presence and a distinctive style. Could almost convince anyone of anything as their looks and attraction tends to make people look the other way.

Moon in the 12th house - Alluring. Majestic. Spontaneous & a wanderer. Protect these children at all cost. There is more than what meets the eye. They attract a lot of people like bees to honey. But flies like you too. Can't let everyone in, they don't know what to do with you. Gotta be more open with being yourself, no matter how mysterious you come off. Boundaries are needed for this group since they are more prone to evil eye as their secretive by nature. People are always trying to spy on them and see what they have that they don't.

I love toico so much I think it's a problem. They are so. I need to shred them up. Like a dog when left alone with a pillow.

I imagine after MePad dies Toilet takes one look at this pathetic five apples tall homeless woman, learns she was also friends with MePad, and goes "ok we're friends now you're coming to my house" because Toilet is somehow the only person in this universe who is capable of owning property.

And thus a beautiful not-romantic-or-platonic-but-a-secret-third-thing relationship is born. Microphone is not fully convinced they're not alternate versions of each other (British, attached to MePad, emotionally unstable, impulsive as hell, and I headcanon both their initials as TG).

They take turns being the one getting them into trouble and the one getting them out of it. Toilet has to accompany Taco to PG-13 movies because she has no ID to prove she's an adult. They speak to each other exclusively in obscure British slang. I also like to include Mic, Soap, & Bomb in their friend group but this isn't about them.

I could go much deeper into deranged headcanon territory but this ask is already rather long. Be prepared for the mildly unhinged, unnecessarily artsy short film directed by Taco and starring Toilet.

Hi there!!^^ Welcome, and thank you for sending in an ask!! :]

Hehehe! Taco going to England with Toilet does sound like it would be pretty nice for her! She's back in her natural habitat <3 and he'd be able to help her get an ID and citizenship and all the stuff she needs to live a proper life and legally exist! I don't think he'd know much about it, but presumably he's already a citizen so that alone is helpful. Toico not-romantic-or-platonic-but-a-secret-third-thing marriage to get Taco easier access to citizenship, anyone?

Pffft! Toilet accompanies her into the cinema, and then they split up. She goes and watches the R-rated horror film and Toilet goes to see the movie version of a Wiggles concert.

And yay british slang! I like to think Taco is the only one who can fully understand what Toilet is saying at all times without Mepad around. The british slang is already programmed into her.

A BOND LAST FOREVER

yandere!knight oc x princess reader

warnings// mention of killing? i don't think there's anything more

reference// you,m'lady,your highness-majesty,y/n.

a/n// I'm kinda satisfied with that-

edit// okay i overthink, i didn't want to do it like that in first but then it's just hit me that if i made him just want power and starts to slowly falling for the reader it'd be better-now i guess I'm kind of regret it.

It is the third day of the death of the queen and your sister,no one knew the murderer and you didn't dare to say it was senor maybe out of fear from the look that was on his eyes that day or maybe because he's the only one who treated you right....and you still love him.

either way here he is free and became your personal knight,you can't even look at him without shivering you still see the blood on his hands, your relationship became tense or for you at least,he's acting all normal not like he killed the ruler of the kingdom herself!,he did apologize a few times to you but it wasn't a realistic apologising he don't feel guilty you can see it in his eyes.

despite all of this you have now a new anxiety,the court and privy council are discussing if you're suitable to be the next ruler, few of the servants knew about you being an Illegitimate daughter of the king and the old ones only and the council as well of course.

you never wanted the throne nor you dreamt about it,you know how hard it is to rule a whole kingdom and you don't know anything about ruling,but also The people need a ruler and the queen didn't have any relative the only one was her daughter and they two had gone..now you're the only one in the line.

the cup of tea in your hands has become cold a while ago,you're sitting in your garden lost in thought,snapping out of your thoughts when someone take the cup out of your hands,it's senor.

"what are you thinking about,m'lady?" he ask and put the cup on the table

you look at him for a minute before you replay "about everything happening now." you look at the ground not able to keep the eye contact.

he put his hand on your shoulder "don't worry too much,you're capable of it." he smile at you, a smile made your heart warm.

you exhale "i hope so." you say unsurely.

senor pause for a second before he kneel at your feet,cupping your hands in his "You were born to be a ruler,there's nothing to be anxious about you've got everything to rule a kingdom the right way....just like your father."

His words made you feel at ease knowing someone is there to support you in any time,for a second you forget what senor had did and he's the one who put you in this situation.

before you replay you two hear a footsteps coming your way and with last squeeze to your hands senor stand up to stand behind you,your relationship is still a secret after all.

a maid approach you and bows a little before speaking "your highness,the council has arrived and they're waiting for you in the guest room." right one of the benefits from the queen's death is that everyone stopped ignoring you.

you nod "I'll head to them right away,thank you for telling me."

the maid bow again before she head to her work.

you stand from your chair nearly knocking it off but luckily senor was there to catch it,as long as he's here everything going to be perfect, just keep relying on him.

you walk to the guest room million of thoughts running in your head,when you stand in front of the big door you take a deep breath and buff your chest high,making a steady face one of the things you learn from your father is that maintain a steady posture even if you're about to cry,when you try to open the door a hand stop you.

"let me,m'lady" senor opens the door for you.

all the members of the council stand up and bow,you also bow your head a bit, senor kept standing in the door and you sit down.

"good evening,your highness" one of them speak first.

"first we're really sorry for your lose,the queen was a good person to the entire kingdom be sure we all are sad to lose her and her daughter" a man seems to be old enough to have even meet your father in his young age speaks like he's really in the verge of tears.

"thank you for your kind words i appreciate it." you say politely.

senor's hand tighten around the hilt of his sword, there's no need for all the long talk is there? it's already difficult enough for him to see you give attention to another!

"yes, it is indeed a misery for the kingdom, but as you know your highness The people need someone to rule them and there is no one on the suggestion list but you...unfortunately." the last one speak in a stern tone..rude.

"yes, i understand." you try hard to not show the anxiety in your voice.

"After we discussed this several times...Due to the lack of suggestions to rule the kingdom, we unanimously decided to give you the rule as you're the only suitable person available" the one who greeted you say with a small smile and the others nod.

you stayed silent don't know what to say, is that really right? will you be capable on ruling the kingdom like the queen was? You clasp your hands together and squeeze them tight.

"don't worry,your highness we won't let you alone in this, someone will come and teach you everything you need to know about ruling a kingdom as he is an expert on the history of the kingdom and his father studied your father when he was going to become the next king so you'll be familiar with him beside he's near your age." The person who consoled you about the queen's death speak.He seemed to have noticed your anxiety.

You gathered your strength to speak, you can't seem weak now "it-s an honor for me to know that you see me as suitable for such a great position. I will do my best not to disappoint you and to rule this kingdom as my parents did before."

"we hope so too, as you know that too risky because no one ruled this kingdom except those of royal blood before, so we hope our decision not wrong" the rude one say.

another one clear his throat "if you'll excuse us now,your highness we have to go, it was an honor talking to you,we expect the tutor to arrive in the next week." when he finish everyone stand up,and you as well.

"I'll be waiting,thank you for your visit."

you shake hands with all three of them and asked some servants to escort them.

when they left,you let out a breath you didn't know you were holding "oh god that was exhausting"

"how about we go to your room to take a rest,m'lady?" senor suggest as he come to your side.

"yes,that would be good"

as soon as you enter the room you throw yourself in your bed and bury your face in your pillow,senor close the door behind him and sit on the edge of the bed.

he reaches his hand for yours,you flinch when he take it but let him anyway,he start kissing it all over,You move your head to the side fighting a giggle threatened to escape "what got into you?" you couldn't hold your smile back.

he say between the kisses "you gave-alot of attention to them-i want some too."

now you can't hold your giggles anymore "you big baby." you tease.

he moves all the way to your neck,it's ticklesh "come on now stop,i want to sleep."

senor lift his head up and look into your eyes before he sigh and sit straight "fine."

you give a final smile and close your eyes,it's not even a minute before you hear metal hit the ground when you open your eyes you see senor taking his armor off left with a plain white pajama,you sit straight nearly choking on the air.

"what are you doing?!" you whisper shouted afraid someone will come in any time.

senor look at you with innocent look and sit beside you covering you both in th blanket "isn't it obvious,m'lady? taking a nap with you." he say like it's the most normal thing in the world.

"what if-what if someone came in and saw you?!"

"no one will come in without your permission." before you can respond he covers your heads under the blanket and lie down before he pulls you in his chest. "now sleep well,m'lady." then he close his eyes pretending to sleep

you sigh not able to complain,finally you let yourself drift to dream land,not knowing that someone won't sleep staring at you.

after two days(Note: the coronation ceremony does not happen like this in reality it's just my au!!)

It's your coronation ceremony day, today you will officially become queen of the kingdom and rule it.

the maids are doing your makeup and your hair,you've never been the senter of attention,always sitting in the corner on the masquerades and balls,so you're extra anxious,especially must of the nobles will be here tonight.

the maids put the last touches,you asked them to leave you alone for a minute to prepare and they did.

when they left you hear a knock on the door and immediately knew it was senor so you give permission to enter as you need someone to calm you down.

senor enter and closed the door quickly,when he laid his eyes on you he become speechless.

oh god his heart beat quickly like it's gonna ripe through his chest...his face flush red and his breath quicken,he want to run away to not ruin you right here and there,he don't know why he's feeling like that,that's not his goal!.

when you feel like he's staring too much you panic,maybe out of nervousness "isthereanythingwrongwithmyfaceisitmyhairorismydresstoorevealing?!" you talked fast to the point you didn't understand yourself.

"no-no you're perfect-beyond perfect i don't know if I'm willing to let you set your foot out this door" senor said while he was still far away from you.

"i don't know how this supposed to make me feel" you sit down and put your head between your hands "ugh! I'm so nervous i don't know what to do!" you look at senor without lifting your head up "why are you even standing there? sit."

senor kept standing in his place "believe me it's better for the two of us,m'lady."

you look at him weirdly before you hear your name called from the other side of the door.

you walk down the aisle all the eyes on you,senor is holding you arm 'just for safety'.

you've meet people for the first time,some who was your sister friend some who knew the queen and even some who knew your father very well.

senor was glued to you side the entire time,and you swear you've seen the danger in his eyes again.

"tell me if someone made you uncomfortable so I'll have a word with them" "senor no-"

After the coronation, all the required ceremonies, and the oath of loyalty,now everyone just enjoy they're time,dancing,drinking and eating.

you were taking a drink to ease your mind when someone approaches you.

he take your hand and bow "may i,have the honor to dance with your majesty?"

he seems to be son of a duke you think you've seen him before,you were about to accept when someone snatched you hand from his....right,senor.

the man look offended "the audacity!,who do you think yourself?"

"your majesty i need to talk to you for a bit,may we go somewhere more...private?" senor whispered in your ear,but it was enough for the man to hear.

you look at senor before nodding,you excuse yourself and go with him.

giggles echo the garden as senor take you running to somewhere,you ran difficulty because of your dress and your shoes but you won't deny it was fun,the last time you ran like that was when you were a kid.

senor stopped at the end of the garden, close to the fence where no one would get there,he catch his breath and speak "have your nervousness ease a bit,m'lady?" he asked between his panting.

and you weren't any better as the garden was very large "was that your goal from all of this?"

senor shrug "part of"

"well,what is so important that you had to kidnap the queen herself from the ceremony?" you say jokingly

senor laugh but cut it shortly and look at you with serious expressions "y/n..you know that i love you" he say carefully

you look at him confused "i..do,what is your point?"

"and i'm very serious about you and I don't care if our state are completely different"

"why you say that all of a sudden?"

"well.." senor take a deep breath Before he kneels one one knee,your breath stops as you know where this is going to "I've thought about that for a long time.." He took a ring out of his pocket "will you marry me,y/n?...not as a knight but just as senor will y/n marry senor?"

for a minute you thought about it all and if it was a good choice but you couldn't contain yourself and it slipped "yes,yes i will"

senor put the ring on your finger immediately before he hold you and swing you around,he put you on the ground and hug you tightly.

"you don't know how happy i am now!" he almost shouted

you didn't say anything, just buried your face in his neck smiling like an idiot.

after some minute you lift your head up,"don't take me wrong but can we keep this a secret untill we're officially married? just because you know...the people and their gossip and i just became a queen so it's not really a smart move to reveal this all of a sudden"

"of course,anything will make you comfortable,m'lady."

you smile widely and kiss him on his cheek

Oh,you poor girl,you've fallen into his web and soon enough the throne will be his.

i hope you like it:)

have a good day/night♡

A Different Kind of Magic

After finding out that someone needs to figure out her Wiggly Magic, The Wiggly Inventor finds himself to be the only person capable of teaching The Wiggly Ballerina. But can he reconcile the long term sessions with his suppressed feelings for the Ballerina?

Chapter 1:

Magic, magic is one of the important things in The WiggleWorld besides music and happiness/love, people was born with it or learn and earn it, and The Wiggles….they discovered theirs

After all they are the reason why WiggleWorld was made, a recreation of a old world from their first Wiggly Rainbow Trick since than The Wiggles has been the magical protectors of their world

It's years past and we are in the Third Generation of The Wiggles when they finally have their First Female Wiggle, mostly everyone was excited and more open to having new members being wiggles since The Big Wiggly Misunderstand and The Ending of Sam's Era

Everyone is still learning how to treat the new members well especially Anthony and the other past Wiggles since they can't help to feel bad that they are kinda the reason why Sam's Era has ended

Since Anthony announced about the issue and how if they don't treat the new members the same as the originals that they would stop protecting some people

Luckily that's help….well mostly at least mostly of the people did change and more open minded with Emma Lachy and Simon since the Announcement

Since The Three Wiggles was under training with The other Wiggles and Caterina in secret, it was for the new Wiggles to understand their powers

They was told that they probably won't use it alot but mostly with their music but the past wiggles that it fine to use their new power however they want but in respectful way

Since the training, the new wiggles have a idea of how being a Wiggle work, and how some of the basic of their magic well the knowledge that the past wiggles know how they figure out their magic would work

Well except the First Female Wiggle herself, since her training was hard since The Original Yellow Wiggle was still recovering which make thing hard him to train Emma, he train her as must he can as a person who is recovering after almost dying from having healthy issue with his heart and almost dying from the removement of his Wiggly Magic Core since that was the only way that help his healthy, he was lucky that he have people that want to take care of him and since Sam learning how to make multiple Wiggly Magic Core, they found the way that The past Wiggles can keep their Wiggly Magic Cores while also passing them to the new generations, but because he have his Wiggly Magic Core back doesn't mean that he is fully recover, he recover enough to train Emma but it wasn’t alot

Same with her with Sam, since Sam wasn’t train to be a wiggle he was push/put on to be one since the whole issue with Greg was so sudden that he was push in without asking, this didn’t help with the other wiggles including Anthony really didn’t fully help Sam when he needed

They was more on taking care of Greg they didn’t give Sam any help or support that he needed, Sam didn’t fully blame them because of that he understood that why they was more on Greg than him, but he still feel like that someone should help and guided him, and the little time he had with Emma in training he try to give her advices, advices that he wished he learned earlier when he was a wiggle

Since then everyone still trying to get use to things to be back to normal, it been a long time that so far Emma Lachy and Simon’s first year as Wiggles was good, everyone was nice with them, mostly the children love them especially with Emma

The Current Wiggles (Emma, Lachy, Simon and, Anthony) still visit The Yellow Wiggle in recover to see how is he going, he was getting better in the recover, Greg really appreciate that they still visiting him in his recover, sometime it all 4 of them, sometime it 3, sometime 2, and sometime 1

Today it was the full group, and everyone was in the room, Emma and Anthony being the closest to Greg, Emma being sitting the floor, her back against the bed, sometime she poke of her head up to see him and talk to him since Greg do see alot himself in Emma and treat her like she was his own daughter

Anthony was the other side of the bed, sitting on a chair, playing his guitar softly, while Simon and Lachy was next to Emma, Lachy in the same pose as her and Simon just standing before the two Wiggles

They been in his room for a while now, talking, playing and singing to songs and musics, until Emma trying to use her magic to get something for the male yellow wiggle but once she finally got it to work the object immediately falls down once the glow stop flickering

The male yellow wiggle noticed and look at Emma in confusion and concerned, Emma looks kinda upset about the magic

"Emma?, Have you been using your magic often" Greg asks The Wiggly Ballerina, raising one of his eyebrow

"N-no, I really haven't been using my magic I been always use it for we perform The Wiggly Rainbow Trick" Emma replied

"And how long was the last time you performed that?"

"...The Wiggly Coronation" she say in a awkward way and with a awkward smile, the male yellow wiggle give kinda a concerned look again

"That long?!?,... that probably somewhat my fault…since I couldn't train you all that I can since I am still recovering"

"No, no, no it's ok Greg, you did much as you can with almost finished your recovery, we have been through….alot even know with Sam help, I still didn't know alot of wiggling mostly my Wiggly Magic" The Wiggly Ballerina say putting her hand on her neck

Everyone look kinda upset when she talks about Sam, everyone was still put off about what happened, Emma looks around and tried to bring up the mood

"But, I would love to learn more about magic tho, but I don't know how, that we all been mostly busy with work and taking care of the town especially Anthony since his announcement"

Anthony looks up and look at everyone before speaking up about the situation

"That's true, since I made that announcement I've been working hard trying to make nice and fair for you three,....i…I just don't want history to repeat itself with you guys" he say looking down sadly but quickly look back up with a little smile

"Well since I'm still in my recovery and Anthony is so busy with the people and making things right…who going to train Emma with her magic" Greg asks everyone went quite thinking about the answer

It didn't take long for someone to speak up with a answer for the solution

"I can teach her" Lachy speak up, breaking the silence, everyone looks at the purple Wiggle

"You can teach me?!" Emma question with a confusing look

"Yea, I can teach you" Lachy say looking at her before slowly turning to look at Greg

"Even know you have teaching me about magic verbally, I have been self teaching myself, relearning my normal original magic and learning my new Wiggly Magic and how the cord work" Lachy explains

"Since you finding out about my original magic and told me that I have potential in magic, I started to study in the matter, look up of any information about magic I can from The Wiggly Library, I been practice and experiment both of my magic on alot of things mostly on Wiggly things and Inventing"

The male yellow wiggle looks at the purple Wiggle listening to his experience and rise his eyebrow

"But wait, are you still figuring out your magic though?" The Red Wiggle asked

"Well, yea kinda but I have been studying since Greg told me about it when I was a Wiggly Dancer, also out of the three of us I use my magic the most so it would make sense if I do it" Lachy replied

"So?, It sudden then? You will teach me?" Emma asks, looking at the purple Wiggle, than he looks at Greg to get his approval just have nod his head in agreement

Lachy look back at Emma and also nods his head in agreement too, Emma smile widely in excitement, jumping up and down just little bit repeatedly, Lachy continue watching The Wiggly Ballerina fleeing in Joy

“I mean I have to teach her, I was the only chance since Mostly of the Wiggles who is active are busy and the past Wiggles are busy with the own thing after retirement from Being Wiggles, but seeing her wanted to learn more about her magic and want to be a good wiggle, I had to help her; I would do anything to see her beautiful smile…and who knows…” a voice said in the back of his mind

“Maybe I can get a chance to …” He quickly pushed that thought away, however. That was not why he wanted to do help her

He just give a confident and hopeful smile, The male yellow wiggle looks at the two current wiggles and slightly smile, both Red and Blue Wiggle noticed it and smile as well

Emma started thanking The Young Wiggly Inventor holding his hands between hers, continuing bouncing but this time she was also making him slightly bounce too

Lachy can't help to feel warm on his cheek slightly turning light pink, but everyone turned towards the door as it opens and a doctor and a nurse walking into the male yellow wiggle's room in The Original WiggleHouse

Simon was the first one who noticed them looking at the two original Wiggles than look at Emma and Lachy before actually speaking up

"It's looks like it's time to head out, come on we should get back to our WiggleHouse and put on our Wiggly outfits before we start the day with our today's Wiggly tasks" Simon says look at Emma and Lachy, telling them

Both of Emma and Lachy look up at Simon before looking at the two brothers, Anthony was looking at them after seeing the doctor and nurse, he slightly smiles at them

"Yea, you guys should get ready for today, no worries I will be with Greg, I will caught up with you three later" Anthony say

So Emma Lachy and Simon slowly started to get up, they all left after saying their goodbyes to the blue and yellow wiggles

Chapter 2:

It been couple of weeks since that visit at The Original WiggleHouse to check on the yellow wiggle in recovery, They continue visiting him checking on him, but now with a approver from the original yellow wiggle himself, Anthony changes Emma's and Lachy's Wiggly schedule so the they can do their lessons

Mostly All The Current Wiggles were out doing they normal Wiggly things, with Emma Lachy and Simon still continuing learning about being Wiggles they slowly getting a hang of everything doing second nature to them

Lachy was the only one who was in the current WiggleHouse so that he thought, he was in his room, about to finish cleaning up after a another invention disaster, which means that he has to go back to the board again

He was starting to dust himself off, cleaning his outfit, picking up things off the floor and placing them back to their right places, putting some papers back in his desk, putting books back to the bookshelves he has against the walls

Suddenly the door open without him noticing, luckily not too long he looks at his side and see the door open and a person who was in it

It's was Emma, but she wasn't in her normal Wiggly outfit, she just was in one of everyday casual outfits that she normally wear when she not doing Wiggly things or she just finished them for the day

Her Red Curly Hair was down and wavy instead her significant wiggly pigtails, she has a band like bandana around her head, it has white flowers with a light yellow background

She was wearing a nice cute black dress with white polka dots all over the dress and at the bottom of the dress was half showing flowers, and the outfit was completed with her black glasses

She was happy that she can take a break from wearing eyes contacts and just wearing her glasses since she wears them more outside of wiggling than when she is, she does wear them when she is a Wiggle but it mostly for filming something for a show or a special

"Lachy!" She said busting through the door, it looks like she was in a hurry and she just got to the house, Lachy slightly jump from busting of his door

"Emma?!" He drop some of the books he has on his hands and arms, Emma noticed the falling books and quickly walk over and caught the books

Emma looks up at Lachy for a minute before quickly come back to reality and placing the books that she caught in the bookshelf front of them

After they placed the books back, Emma step back before speaking to the inventor

"S-sorry, to scare you Lachy.." she looks at him and noticed he still has his Wiggly outfit on him

"..and not wearing my Wiggly outfit" she say jokingly putting her hand on the back of her neck laughing nervously

"Oh that's ok, I mean I think you don't need to wear your Wiggly outfit to do magic" Lachy saying with a smile, being obvious about that was a joke

Emma is kinda disappointed at he didn't get it but she shift it to the same and ignore it

"... anyways I'm here"

"Yeah, and you are early, I was expecting you to come over later the day" Lachy explains

"Yea, since the whole schedule change, it was hard to follow, to the point I thought I was late to the session, so I try to do my thing fast, luckily I wasn't late apparently" Emma replied

"Am I too early?"

"No, no, you're fine I just finished doing the things I need to do today, then I started to invent…"

"And it was a another disaster" Emma cut him off form his sentence, Lachy stop and look at her before putting his hand on his neck and started to rubbing it

"Y-yeah" he say laughing awkwardly, a little blush apparently on his face but it wasn't noticeable

"I guess I need fixing in my Inventions" Emma walks closer to him and giving him a pat on his shoulder

"Lach, you mostly have Inventions that do work…sometimes…you need to learn relax more and not putting so much on you" Emma say

"Like I could ever relax when you're around me" The Purple Wiggle thought

"So, do you want to start right now? or do you want me to explain what I'll need to do first"

“If you think I'll understand it.” Lachy had an unsure look on her face, but Emma only chuckled softly

“Don't worry, I'm not offended, really,” she continued, to which Lachy gave her an apologetic smile

“I know you live for this stuff more than me, you know all that magic, science and all that stuff, i mostly just go with flow and if something is off i would found a way to fix it…you know without magic” Emma give a small smile

“Oh, yeah, totally. I've got it all under control” he said hastily and bumped his chest with her hand

“I'm making a fool of myself in front of her” he thought

Emma just gave him an amused smile. “So what's the plan?”

Lachy was irritated

“I thought you didn't want me to explain …”

“No,” Emma cut him off and waved a finger

“I mean the general plan. Like a schedule?” she proposed at the helpless look on Lachy's face.

“Oh, you mean why we need several sessions?” The Ballerina nodded at him.

“Right. We haven't talked about that, yet.”

Lachy pulled his blackboard that had been standing off to the side in his room and flipped it over, he started to write and sketched on it, showing what is going to be in the sessions, Lachy cleared his throat and started to explaining what is going to be in the sessions

“Today is the first session. It's not going to be that straining for us, since we are going to just talking, me getting a understanding of your knowledge of magic and how it works in this world like mainly Magic Source/Magic Core and Wiggly Magic”

"So this session is just a pre-session then?" Emma question

"Yea kinda, I need to take notes while we talk about your knowledge of magic, that way the next session I would know where we should start practicing magic"

"Ohh well that makes sense" Emma say looking at the blackboard and analyzing it

"But why are the sessions a week apart?"

"Well from the books I read for this it suggested it do it a week apart so that we can see where we are with magic power" Lachy explains

"Basically it better to do it weekly so that nothing bad happened, I don't want accidentally teach you something way too hard for you and make you injured yourself with your own magic" Emma give a worried look for while before nodding in agreement she didn't know how she feels if she finds out that Lachy is the reason she injured herself, she believes that he wouldn't forgive himself

Emma's face changes when she notices that Lachy putting the blackboard away for now, he walk back to Emma, and open one of his arms to show his room

"You can sit anywhere and we can get started" Lachy say, Emma looks around before taking a seat on his bed, he put a chair and sit front of her, grabbing his notebook and pen and putting them in his lap

"So let's start the basics, tell me what you know about magic, Emma?" Lachy ask opening up his book and wait for her response

Emma just give a thinking look, she was kinda having a hard time where to start Lachy notice it, and help her out a bit

"Maybe I should start since I am teaching you, do you know what magic is in The WiggleWorld?"

"Well I know that some people can get magic, like in they can a magic source, and i know that some people can just be born with magic" Emma replied

"Oh?....and how did you know that?" Lachy ask, who was interested about how she learned that people can be born with magic

"Well, I believe my older sister was born with magic, she say she can see things in people like look in their minds, and I believe that because she did that to me and I was very interested and confused at the same time" Emma answers

"Mmm…wait, is she the one you've been talking about?" Lachy questions, Emma nods her head in agreement

"Ok.. anything else, if not we can go into your knowledge about Wiggly Magic Core?"

"Well, I know that it's dangerous to remove a Wiggly Magic Core, since that is one of the reasons why Greg is in recovery right now" Emma say, Lachy nods and continue writing his notes down

"And do you know why it's dangerous to remove one?"

"Because it's like connected to your soul/heart it act like a protection shield for it"

"Correct, Emma" Lachy say in excitement

"And I know that I only use my Wiggly Magic when I to which everytime we perform The Wiggly Rainbow Trick in shows and concerts" Emma explains

"And…."

"And that what I know of, again like I said even with both Greg and Sam help I don't know alot about Wiggly Magic, since alot happens" Emma explains with a upsetting tone as she mentioned the two past yellow leaders

Lachy just sit and looks at the notes he took while her was talking it took a while before he finally getting up and walk towards to one of his bookshelves

Emma just stay where she sitting looking confused but curious bout what the purple Wiggle was doing, she jumped up and looks at him when he started to walk back with a book

"Since there is no official research/information book about Wiggly Magic, I decided to make a book that have all the information I know and learn about the subject, either from the magic sessions I have with Greg, the messages and letters that I got with my another book that I made that I can contact Sam with, and the from experiences I learned and practice" Lachy say sitting back down and open the book

He looks though the words and notes in book, looking for a place to start with, Emma just looks down at the book and watch as the pages flip around

"Ah, let's start here" Lachy say to Emma before he started to read off what he wrote in the book:

It's just come to me that after the first magic sessions that I have with the original yellow wiggle himself: Greg Wiggle and watching the other Wiggles using their Magic

I recently found out that the Wiggly Magic doesn't have a limit to their powers, which makes sense if they are the protectors of this world…well their world

Also i found out that means the Wiggles could share the same powers if they wanted too, it would make sense why they have the flying ability

It probably good to write about even know I know this already, but since Sam found a spell that a Wiggle can copy/make a duplicate of a core so that the new holder can have the power without putting the holder who case the spell in risk

Makes me think of a theory on if a holder can hold multiple Wiggly Magic cores, which I believe it true because of me and Greg having our own original Magic source before we got our Wiggly Magic

So far there are no recordings of it but hopefully in the future I can do something with this theory…

Emma just continue watching and listening to Lachy reading his notes in the book, Emma started to get something in her mind like she forgot something and she just remember it

When Lachy read off about the spell, she started remember that one of her training sessions that Sam taught her, she wonder why she forgot about it since it post to be a important thing to know especially for the Yellow Wiggles

Lachy continue reading off the notes about more info about Wiggly Magic like how it match up who ever the holder is, in personality wise, and what the magic look like in appearance wise

It been a hour of him reading and her listening and learning until one of them noticed the time is, Lachy stand up and close the book, putting it away

"I think it a good place to stop for this session" he say looking back at Emma after putting the book away in his bookshelves

"Oh really, that was quick?" Emma questions

"Yea like you said this is a pre session, and we just been talking, so it was going to be the shortest session"

"So that's it?"

"Yea, but I am planning on dinner since I have been in the house most of the day…you're invited….if you want to, that all" The Purple Wiggle say, now looking away putting his hand on his neck

"Un…sorry, I already eat with Caterina and some of the others Wiggly Dancers before we dance practice" she looks irritated

"But I can stay next time" she added with a friendly smile

"Oh…yeah of course" The Purple Wiggle kicked himself mentally, "Stupid", he told him "but hey at least she say yes for a next time"

"Well, it's a good thing that you going to eat dinner next session since we need afterwards"

"We?... needed it afterwards?" The yellow wiggle questions

"What do you think magic come from, we need energy to do it after all, and I mean we, because I am also going to use me magic as well to teach you" Lachy explains

"Sorry, if this sounds hard to learn"

"You don't need to apologize Lachy, I need to thank you since everyone has been busy" Emma say getting up and walk towards to The Purple Wiggle, getting him a hug, he slowly returns it

"So…thank you, you're the most amazing friend" Lachy's face change from a happy look slowly into a slightly disappointed look after she say "friend"

"So I guess see you next week" The Yellow Wiggle say after pulling away from the hug

"Oh, you don't have to come over just for the sessions, you can come over by wherever you want Emma" Lachy hoped that Emma would take that offer

"Oh yeah, right I mean we do love together" She give a awkward laugh before she started to the door

"Thanks again for doing this" she say looking back at him

Lachy gave her a warm smile

“Anything for a friend,” he said and watched Emma leave, become smaller and eventually turn around a corner and disappear into her room.

He closed the door and turned back to the now again empty room. he looked at the bed and sighed deeply. He did not feel like eating and doubted that that would still change today. He just felt like lying on his bed and wallowing in all too familiar melancholy.

He could not blame The Wiggly Ballerina for not knowing, for not thinking that Lachy would feel a slight pain in his chest every time she called him a 'friend'. He wanted to be so much more than that, but had only himself to blame for it. There had been many times, many opportunities at which he had been alone with Emma and he could have told her. Opportunities like today, but still not quite the same. Today had been different. Emma was coming to him for help; she was exposed and still vulnerable, even if she did not show it to Lachy.

He could have told Emma about his feelings today, but it felt wrong for the Inventor to do so, leaving aside that he would have probably been too scared anyway. Emma was trusting him with teaching her to use one of the most powerful things and to force this onto her at such a time? Lachy could not do it. Yet he felt that he was growing closer to the Ballerina. Maybe when this was over, they would be close enough that he could finally open himself to The Wiggly Ballerina. But that was still a long way ahead of him. All he wanted to do now was what he usually did in the evenings - thinking about Emma while imagining the things they would do together if only he were brave enough to tell her and lucky enough for the Ballerina to give her a chance.

Chapter 3:

It was time for the second session, Emma and Lachy was back in his room but Lachy was wearing one of his everyday casual wear instead of his Wiggly outfit since he got a off day to do the session with Emma

It just was a black shirt under a sleeveless plaid shirt hoodie with gray jeans, with a golden necklace pendant with a purple and black hearts on it, with the pendant there was also a pair of sunglasses

Emma was a nice red design dress, with black leggings, and her hair up in a messy way like it looks pretty neat but like bit messy, she was wearing her eye contacts this time

Emma just got into Lachy's room so he closed the door behind her as she walk in and slowly walk towards to the bed and sit on it

"So what is going to happen in this session?, You did say we were needed dinner afterwards" Emma say, as she looks at the inventor pushing and pulling things out of the away to make the room bigger and have more space

"Well, today I'm going to teach you the basics same magic and how to control your magic since it takes energy to control it" he say as get finished what he was doing and sit on the floor with his legs crossed

"Let do the most simple magic move, which is making a form of your magic source/core" he say

"Once you master this, it becomes second nature to you, now things you need to know, Magic is different to some of people some of them it just a skill, some of them it based on their emotions, which that what The Wiggly Magic is, it's emotional based which makes sense because our jobs as wiggles is making people happy with our music…which is our power" Lachy explains

Emma looks at him listening what he is saying, slowly nodding show him that she is listening and getting it to mind

"Now making a "form" of your magic source, now magic is not easy to touch, you can't touch it….well at least not physical" he explained using air quotes with his fingers when he say form

"You can fully touch magic emotional and mental, since it's connected to you, some people just use their hands to use magic, and some of them use a items to help them like a wand, or a staff" Lachy slowly getting up and walking over to a place in his room

He was looking for something, it take a while before he finally found it, he pick it up and started to walk back towards Emma and show him what it was

It was a long black staff with a silver metal part on top of the staff, it starts was a metal box with a purple meter on it but as she looks up there was a sharp point spear on top, there was a big purple glass ball in the middle of the box and the spear it looks like something glowing was in it

"What is it?" The Yellow Wiggle asks, interested about it especially what is in the glass ball

"It's my magic staff…the first thing I ever invented…apparently" he responded

"Apparently?"

"I don't fully remember anything before I started living in WiggleTown but apparently this was my when I was founded by Simon and other people, he told me that he found me with it, so since then I been trying to figure out what it was, and so far I found out that it a staff I made as my first invention, and it post to help me with magic while also being a weapon" he explained

"Well, I mostly use this, sometimes I do just use my hands to do magic, I think to keep it even with ways to cast magic, I'm just going to show how to make a form for your magic with my hands" Lachy say sitting back down on the floor and putting the staff next to him laying down

"Magic source/cores come in different forms, it just depends on the person and or how many they have, I will use my as a example"

Lachy sit straight up, and slowly take a deep breath, and continue it until he slowly rise both of his hands which they was put together

Once he stop taking breathes, it was silent until a purple glow slowly appears, Lachy was looking down with his eyes closed as he feels something go through his body, than to his arms, than hands than

The magic slowly come out of his hands and started to form a appearance it slowly form a big purple ball of magic it looks like that a dark purple some form of liquid was in it and some little stars

Soon a another ball slowly form but it was different, it was also purple but it was a shade it was the same purple as his wiggly color, with darker purple lines forming two v with small music notes

Once that one was completely form it started to orbit around the bigger ball like a moon orbit around a plant

Lachy started to slowly opening his eyes and instead of his normal green eyes, there were purple and glowing

He looks at the form than slowly to Emma was who amazes about what just happened, he smiles slightly

"This is what my Magic Source looks like…, it still inside me I just made a form for it, not duplicate it, it like a hologram in someway" Emma slowly started to climb down from the bed and closer to the purple Wiggle sitting on her knees and look at what he made

She started to get even more closer while made the purple Wiggle warm and slightly blushing, which makes the form change slightly it started to form small purple hearts

Emma noticed it and point it out which The Purple Wiggle look down and noticed it, he slightly jump up which makes the form disappear

"A-anyways…" he said trying to clear his throat before going back to teaching

"That's how my magic looks…besides the small hearts…some people who have multiple looks like that or some of them look one Big Ball with multiple colors again it depends on the person" he explained luckily his blush disappeared before he looks up at her

"Now it's your turn" he say, tell her how it works, Emma changed how she was sitting now the same how Lachy is right now, she closes her eyes and trying to do it, but she was having trouble, and Lachy notice it

"Hey" he say, Emma open her eyes to look at him, and listen

"Sometimes, it's the better to think about things you like…the things you like to do…maybe the people you care about" Emma just looks at him for a while before slowly nodded and goes back closing her eyes and focus on her magic

As she was constraining she felt someone holding her hands into their plans, it surprised her for a moment but she smiles and immediately come back focus on her magic

Slowly her magic started to take form, her was similar what the small ball was orbit around his big one, but it was yellow and it the same size as the big one since it was her only one, but it was summing by ribbons and small bows

Lachy quickly removes his hands from her before starting talking about she did it, Emma slowly opening her eyes which was glowing yellow, she looks down and gasps

She immediately get very excited, and that excitement slowly turn into a lovely look she pull her form closer to her and she looks at it loveling

"See I know you can do it,....now we can move on to the next…"

"Thank you" Lachy looks at her in confusion and lets out a "huh?"

"Thank you" she say again this time more calming and loving like if she was claiming down a child, The purple Wiggle can't help to blush slightly

"O-oh no problem, Emma, a-again it's nothing" he say with a smile, the yellow wiggle continue looking at what she does, as The purple one, he just staring at her with loving eyes just taking in see her happy

It's was a moment before he shake her head and finally started back talking, tell her that they should continue on the session

The session continue on for half of a hour, with Emma slowly leaning more basic moves in Magic soon Lachy decided to end the session for today since he can tell that Emma was getting low on energy

She was getting use to using her magic more often now and her body wasn't use to it at some point her body would

The two Wiggles started to get up and walk out of the room and walking towards that kitchen

"What do you want Emma, I normally cook….well you know that already, since we do live together" he say, Emma can't help to laugh

"I don't know, I haven't thought of that yet since the session started" she thinks about what should she eat, until she got the bottom of the the stairs and The purple Wiggle was almost at the kitchen

"Oh!" She yell out, making The Purple Wiggle stop at his place and turn around to face her

"I know what I wanted" The Yellow Wiggle yells out

“Do you remember the last time that The Wiggly International Cultural Festival happened?”

“Yea, I believe that was the second one since we become Wiggles” The Purple Wiggle points out

“What about it?”

“Well the one that we host in WiggleTown, that our Cultural theme was Japanese, and we host a Japanese Cultural Taste Festival”

“Yes?”

“Well you should make some of the food we tasted there” The Yellow Wiggle explains, Lachy give a worried look and started to rub his neck

“Well, Emma i don’t fully know how to cook food from different Cultures that well”

“Yea, but you always want to practice cooking more things and this would be a perfect chance to do it” Lachy take a minute of thinking about The Wiggly Ballerina is saying

“Well it depends on what the food that you are thinking” he responded

“i remember we try those Chicken Katsu Bowls at the Festival, that was good” The Purple Wiggle fully walk in the kitchen and started to around there to see if he has enough Ingredients for them lucky enough he has enough for not just them, for all 4 of them

"Hey it looks like I have enough for all 4 of us so when Simon and Anthony come back, there will be some for them" Lachy say

"All 4 of them?!, Well make sure that you make more than that because we know how much Anthony love to eat" Emma say laughing, The Purple Wiggle laugh also

"Yea for sure, well it would take a while so you should do something like you can read, or something" he suggested

"I don't want to sit there and wait for it to be done" The Purple Wiggle say show a small but someway a awkward smile

Emma just look at him before going to one of the living room's bookshelves and grab a book that she can read while waiting

Once she got it she walk to the kitchen table and sit her yellow chair, she opened the book and lay it down on the table, putting her cheeks in her hand palms and started to read it

"I could hear the cooking sounds that Lachy was making, the tapping from him looking at the recipe on his phone" The Yellow Wiggle thought

"I know he was trying his best, he is a great cook so I believe in him, but for now I try to relax while waiting, reading, trying to stop thinking of the guy with the wonderful green eyes and curly hair…wait? Where did that come from?"

"That was weird, well I should continue reading this story, Dorothy suggested that I should try the romantic genre, she thinks I would like it, since I like fairy tales stories"

"So I started reading, and also I read I was introduced to a character which I believe is post to be the love interest for the main character"

"They described as The Prince of school, he was the prince charming type: a nice, kind, Emma ing, flirtatious, gentlemen charmer, he was a tall guy who has short dark brown hair and blue and green eyes"

"As I continued reading, he started to remind me of someone, someone with a similar description….why am I imagining this character sounding like…" as she thought about this she slowly look up at Lachy who was still cooking

He looks behind and noticed that she was looking at him, she immediately looks back down at the book, blushing slightly, Lachy just went back to cooking

"She must be very interested the story" he thought

"Wh-what is happening…wh-why am I blushing, i could feel my face getting warm, I don't normally feel like this before…maybe it just the story that I reading"

"Anyways I went back to reading for while for, so far the story is very cute and sweet maybe I probably would continue it after I finish the magic session"

Emma hear the cooking sounds stop and look up to see Lachy finish cooking and holding both his and her bowls as he walk to the table she notices that there are three different bowls on the counter

One was full of rice, the other was full of chicken and the last one was full of veggies like carrots, corn and peas etc

"The recipe say it has just Chicken and rice so I decided to add some vegetables because I don't want just eat chicken and rice" The Purple Wiggle explain

"The extra is on the counter for Simon and Anthony when they come back"

The two started at eating the meal that The Purple Wiggle has made for them, they really enjoyed it, The Yellow Wiggle told him how good it was and told him that you are really a great cook, which makes The Purple Wiggle slightly blush and smile

As they was halfway done with their dinner, Lachy remember something he looks up at Emma

"Hey…are you up for some dessert Emma?" He asks, she looks at him for a while before responding to the him

"Umm yeah, sure I do like sweets, some sweets won't hurt" she replied with a smile

He return the smile before getting up and walk to the refrigerator and opening it, look for something, something that he remembers

One he found the thing, he started to walk back to the table, Emma noticed that he was holding a box, a familiar box

The box that he was holding was a pink box with rose and rose petals printed on the box at the front of the box, has green and yellow spots and has the words: Dorothy’s Ring Around the Rosie Bakery on it

"Is that one of the leftovers sweets we got from Dorothy when we was taste testers for her bakery" Emma ask

"Yeah, it is"

"I thought we didn't have anymore, since you know who" Emma slightly laughs

"Yea, but I hide this one" Emma just give a confusing look, she just looks at him as he started to open the box and pull out the sweet

It was a strawberry shortcake like Japanese's roll cake that has purple icing cover it and it was decorated with purple roses, purple rose petals and lavender

"I hide this one, because it special….I made this one, Dorothy was teaching me how to bake since I like to cook and I want to bake so one time I was at her bakery and show me how to bake and I made this" he say

Emma's eye's shine like stars when she see what Lachy made, she actually never has taste his baking before, she actually if any of the other Wiggles has, she just believe that Dorothy has because she teaches him how to bake

Lachy started to cut the roll cake, he put two slices in each plate and give one of the plates to Emma

She just looks at the place for a while, before she finally taking a bite of a slice of the roll cake

Her eyes lit up in enjoyment from the delicious taste of the strawberry shortcake roll cake

She told Lachy that it really got and that his baking is really good that he should do more, which he make he slightly blush

"T-thanks Emma" he say, the two continue enjoying their dinner until they were finish eating, Emma started to feel tired so she told him that she would go to bed

They both say good night and Emma started to walking upstairs to her room, she can't help to feel warm for some reason, she doesn't know why, but she can't stop it

Chapter 4:

It was the third week for Emma's Sessions with Lachy, they were with the other Wiggles, doing their normal things of thinking and trying to make songs for album

Emma and Lachy actually get left early because they tell the others that they need to something without telling them what it was so they get out early

Since they got early they didn't have time to to change their Wiggly outfit to one of their everyday outfit

Emma was outside of the WiggleHouse's door, waiting for Lachy, he told Emma that they would be training in a different place like outside so that they can do magic with more space

Lachy finally come out of the house, he has his staff attend to his back so that he can hold something else

Emma looks at him until she looks down and she notices that he was holding a picnic basket

"What is that?" She asks and point at it

"Oh it's our dinner for this session since we are mostly be outside all day" he responded

Emma just smiled in agreement and the two started walking out to the place that Lachy was taking her, which was a big open field outside of WiggleTown and it's Magical protection dorm

Once they got there, Emma was amazed by the view of the open field, the field was surrounded by trees and woods, and the field was covered by flowers at some parts of the field

The Purple Wiggle find a place to put the basket down, under a big huge tree, he hid it so that nothing can get into it

"So…. have you been practicing with your magic since last session?" He ask turning to face her

"Yea…just a little bit though time to time"

"Well that's good, it good to practice even outside of sessions, did you have trouble using it"

"No actually….is that good" the Yellow Wiggles asks

"Yes! That means it's going better than expected, your body it gets used to of using magic quicker than I thought, this session we are going to practice your Wiggly Magic and how it works with you"

"How it's works on me?"

"Meaning that how does it fit with your personality since Wiggly Magic fits the holder traits and personality" The Wiggly Inventor explain

"We should get started, I promise I'll be doing the best I can to train you"

"I know, Lachy, and I wouldn't want anyone else to do it with" Emma responded

" *Sigh* Just what I thought I had it under control, but no, you had to say something like that again didn't you? With that adorable smile and those beautiful, mesmerizing eyes of yours, why do you keep doing this? How can you not see that you're tearing me apart? Okay come on Lachlan, focus. It's not her fault, just keep calm and you can get through this without a breakdown" He thought

He noticed the Ballerina looking at him with slight worry. He had probably been staring at Emma for a while without saying anything. Just when he saw Emma's mouth open, he cut her off.

“Thanks, Emma. That means a lot to me.”

“More than you'd ever think.” he thought

Lachy felt the tears coming again and he quickly blinked them away and returned his attention to the magic session

He pull out his Magical staff out of his back and hold it

"Now… let's get started than" he say, and the session has started, he show her how he can do with his own magic

He started to show how he can transfer his stuff into one of his main weapon a scythe, by making a circle with his magic and slice it sideways which make the blade for it

He also show her that he can pour any potion into the glass ball making the blade have different effects, like element magic and thing like that

He continue showing The Yellow Wiggle his magic, showing that he mostly use the blade for making magical moves than cutting, this goes for while until it was time to teach her how her magic in her own way

“Well, since the Wiggly Magic fits to their holder’s traits and personality, maybe it fits to your dancing it would make sense” The Wiggly Inventor say

"Maybe try dancing with your magic on" it take Emma for while before agree to the idea

She turn around, take a deep breath, her eyes turn glowing yellow, and started to dance

She was doing one of her ballet routines, since she knows it by heart on like it was second nature to her

She was doing this like it was nothing and soon after she started, her magic started to show

Faded yellow trail appears behind her and under her arms as she perform her dance, yellow flowers started appears behind her

Butterflies bows appears from her hands, in the middle of her dance she undo her bow and started to ribbon dance with her bow ribbon

Magic come out of the ribbon after she hit out with her ribbon, the whole time she has her eyes closed so she doesn't know what she is making, but Lachy dose

The whole time he was amazed by what he is seeing, he can't help to just watch, watch the beautiful of what is Emma making

This goes for a while now, it take the same time as her dance routine, once she was done, she open her eyes and look behind her to see what she did

She was amazed, flowers, Butterflies bows which some of them fly over to Emma and landed on her head and some of them grab her ribbon and make it back to her head bow

She reach her hands out that the Butterflies bows can land on them, she brings one of them closer to her face

It was a while before Lachy finally spoke up, and tell her that was amazing, thinking about her ribbon and thinking about how it could work like his staff with her

Emma looks at at him and smiles, a little light pink blush appear on her face

"Thanks…I don't know I could do this" she responded, helping the Butterflies bows to fly off her hands

"How do you feel right now?" Lachy asks

"I feel…alright…I feel like I have still more energy left"

"Well, that good, should we continue the session"

Emma nods her head in agreement, their spend hours training and practicing with their magic, teaching her how to use her ribbon more with her magic and with potions that he has caring

It was a long time before one of them noticed that they sure be finishing up the session, they would continue if they could

"Maybe we sure stop for today" The Purple Wiggle say stretching his arms out, and moving his body around

"Yea,...I wish we continue, I'm having so much fun and I am very excited about finally learning my magic…so much that I could kiss you right now how excited I am"

The Wiggly Inventor stop in place and looking at her for a minute before quickly looking away and started blushing

"Again, you did it again Emma, every. single. time. Why…why do I keep fighting it? I already know it's a lost cause, I can't show you what you're doing to me as it's only my fault. You're just being you, everything I love about you reminding me of what I can't have"

"I should just end it, leave, go far away and try to forget you, but you're the one who would come after me, wouldn't you…I mean you are the yellow wiggle after all, the leader, you would be worried about me, I doubt you'd even understand what you're making me go through, no I can't let this break you too" he thought

It took a while before Emma realize what she just said, she quickly blush, putting her hand on her neck and look away

"Sorry….I didn't…mean"

"No, no no it's ok…. it's fine let's just eat our dinner" he say, both of them started to walk back to the tree that the basket was in

The Purple Wiggle pull out the picnic blanket and slowly put it down on the ground, putting his hand out showing that she can sit down now

He sit down after she did and started to bring out the rest of the things out of the basket

"Since last night food was gone, I decided to make food early this morning so that we won't be hungry"

He put down some places and glasses before putting out the foods and drinks, it was a homemade pizza with cheese and spinach, a full plate of cinnamon rolls, lemonade and tea

"I didn't know if you want your normal tea or lemonade so I brought both with me, hopefully that is ok"

"No I don't mind" Emma say

Once The Purple Wiggle touch the pizza he noticed that it was cold, he knows that he made it in the morning but he thought it be warm up since sitting under the sun in the whole session

"Oh no the pizza is cold…hold on let me just" he pull out one of the long tube orange potions and take a drink he didn't drink a lot of it only the top part was gone

He close and put the potion away before letting it sit in his mouth before swallowing it, he took a long deep breath before blowing over the pizza

A big orange and red puff of gas come out of his mouth and went over the pizza, heating it up, one the cloud of fire was gone he touched it again to see if it cook now

"There that should do it, it should be ready to eat now" he looks up and noticed that The Wiggly Ballerina was looking at him at amazed

"Why are you…"

"Sorry it just….is there anything you can't do with magic and potions"

"Really…that's impressed you, Em you just did amazing things with your own magic, but me using one of my potions to heat up the pizza fascinated you?" He question

"Yeah, I guess I'm pretty easy to impress…after all I do like seeing magic" She say with a smile, The Inventor return the smile, and the two started to enjoy their meal

As they was eating, The Purple Wiggle started to get lost in his thoughts and mind

"This was so very much like the dates I have with Emma in my mind, all the countless times I imagined is both together, sharing a romantic dinner. I knew this wasn't a date…for Emma it was just a meal between friends, but I wanted to know what it would really be like. I needed to know what it was like to have her in my life, to share my secrets with her, to have my love returned"

"I knew my dreams were not real, imaginations of a love sick boy, but right now I didn't care, I could still pretend,... right"

…

"Emma started eating one of her slices of pizza, slowly talking about what something big going to happen to her, The Yellow Wiggle, always did that on our date, talking about great news involving her, I was not going to stop her from doing that"

"I loved her too much to try and change her, I had confessed my feelings about a week ago, and she was willing to give me a chance! The best decision of my life, her hair was curly, and her outfit was cute…it was just how I like it "

"I realized I had been staring at my partner for a while…she looked up to me, she didn't seem to mind, even gave me bright smile, that made my heart flutter, my life seems so full compared to what the ballerina has to tell about the shows that we be in since we became Wiggles"

"Emma began to blush, she seemed awfully nervous, did I do something wrong?, Did I forget something?, The only sound was the tree leaves brushing against each other, Emma still seemed to avoid my gaze, I just kept eating and pondering what could be wrong with my girlfriend"

"Wow, I'm full, I guess we should be heading back home " she said, both of them getting up and packing up before starting walking back to the house

It was long walk and the sun started to set down and the night slowly appears and the stars glowing bright, the two can't help to look up and watch them as they slowly walk

Once they got to the house they went in and walk to upstairs and walk towards to Emma's bedroom door

"Wow, that was great today" she say with a smile

"I should be getting to bed so…see you tomorrow then?"

"Yes see you tomorrow Emma, and don't forget"

"You promised to take me out dancing" he thought

"Uhn, I yeah I will keep practicing, I promised you, right, I wouldn't break a promise, hehe, well bye" she say open up her bedroom door and walk in waving at her friends

"Bye" The Purple Wiggle wave until the door was fully closed, he started to walk to her bedroom and started to get ready for bed, smile about what happened today, getting in bed he just looks at the ceiling

"Going over the events of the day, I felt something in the back of my mind, a sort of realization I couldn't put my finger on, the strange feeling became stronger and the memories of my previous dates with The Yellow Wiggle faded, eventually disappearing almost as if they never existed, I panicked, my heart beating faster and faster, had I been dreaming and was just about to wake up?...then…it hit me " his face slowly to turn into a sad and disappointed look

"Wait…oh no, had I imagining having a date with Emma this evening?, Actually being my girlfriend? Was I going insane? Was I finally losing my mind over that Yellow Ballerina? I felt so joyful and happy during the evening. But now all I feel was nothing but panic, desperation, and anger at myself, why couldn't they be real? Why couldn't I not have the ballerina? This pillow has soaked up more of my tears than I had ever thought I could cry out….and it was about to absorb many more"

He turned lying on his side and slowly started to cry, feeling the tears coming down his face, he can't help to let it out, he soon started to fall asleep after crying for a while quietly

Chapter 5:

It was a another week and it was Friday, and everyone was getting ready for today since today is a beginning of the new weekends

Caterina was in one of the room in the Hot Potato!Studio working one the outfits for the next tour and filming that The Wiggles has plan for

She hears a knock on the door. A little annoyed at the interruption, but always glad that someone was checking on her or if she wanted something

“I'll be right there.” The designer applied the last stitches to the seam, put the cloth down and turned off the sewing-machine. She stood up from her chair and turned towards the doorway to the room

“Yes hello what can i help you -” she started as she was entering the room, but stopped in her tracks as she saw who it was just entered her establishment.

“Emma?”

"Hi Caterina" Emma say walking into the room, Caterina closed the door behind her

"Well, you're the one I never expected today, do you have something about your outfits, do you have any feedback?" Caterina ask

"No no, I am happy about my outfits Caterina…it just I…I need your help" Emma say giving a worried look

"My help, with what would you require my help for?"

"Well…I need some advice from you"

"Well, what is it Emma?" Emma looks down for a moment before looking back up at Caterina

"...can you promise that you can keep this a secret" The Designer just nods her head in agreement

The Yellow Wiggle just looks down and close her eyes before told her secret

"I think…..I think I have a crush on Lachy" she quickly say waiting for a response it was silent for a while

Emma just opened her eyes and look at a shock designer

"Could…could you repeat that?" Caterina asks confusedly

"...I…I have a crush on Lachy" Emma replied with a worried and embarrassed tone

"Why…why do you think you have a crush on him…and why you sound embarrassed about it…it's ok if you do"

"Well it just….I can't spend a minute without thinking about him, when I close my eyes, he's there, when I turn around I expect him to be there, everything purple reminds me of him, Everytime I use or practice my magic, I think of him, of what he's doing to help me, how much effort he's putting into…making me happy" Emma explains

"Oh sweetheart, that's simply wonderful?"

"W-wonderful? How is that wonderful? I don't know what to do, I never felt this much about someone before"

"Isn't it obvious, oh of course…you don't know" Caterina say little bit upsetly

"Stupid promise that I made with Simon" she thought

"I don't know what?"

"Emma,...do you find him…attractive?" Emma immediately felt her face get warm and red when she hear the question

"What…why…why are you…."

"Please, just answer the question Emma"

"I mean….I guess..he is cute….I never thought of him like that" she answered

"What do you feel when you think about him?"

"Is this going somewhere?" The Yellow Wiggle asks

"Emma, if you want my help than I need to know this so I can help you" it took Emma for a while before she answers the question

"When I think about him…I feel…happy. I want to be close to him, see him smile at me…feel him touch, when I'm with him I feel safe, I want to talk to him more, hug him more, I want him to laugh with me, to trust me,...to….to care for me"

"....well I am about to break a promise that I made with Simon but it's for the best and you need to know…. Lachy…has a thing for you too" Caterina happy explain

"...huh…but…what….w-what do I do now?" Emma asks

"You're all he's been able to think about for years now…..hey today is your session days right?, Well this is your chance to tell him"

"M-my chance…I don't know….what should I do?"

"Is it still not obvious?, You should go there say your hellos and when the time is right you plant a Big long kiss right on that man's lips"

"A-are you…. sure?" Emma asks

"Yes! If you know you want something and you know it wants you, what do you do?, You take it, I know you it in you Emma, now you should go now, the others is probably wondering where you are especially you future partner" Caterina say, open the door for Emma and watch her walk out going back what he was doing before

Hours pass and it was the middle of the day, and just last session Emma and Lachy went out early, since this time it was going to be a checkup and so what they are so far, since they are going on tour soon they won’t a another session after that which would be a long time

Lachy was wearing a Gray shirt with The Wiggles' colors on it, under a sleeveless Purple plaid shirt with dark blue jeans, with a golden necklace pendant with a purple and black hearts on it, while Emma was wearing a light Yellow dress with a little light Purple cape on it

They didn’t bring food with them since this going to a short session, they started to walk back to the open place that they was last session, once they there, The Wiggly Inventor started to explain that this is a check up and this probably be the last session for a while now since the tour

Emma just nods her head in agreement, luckily it just more training with magic, so they started where they left off last session, the hour long training slowly turn into a magic fight, which last did a couple of hour, almost all the day, which when it ended The Wiggly Ballerina won it, making the both of them kinda of tried

“I won” The Wiggly Ballerina say

“Come on, I let you won Em” The Inventor say still trying to caught his breath

“Come on Lach, you know i’m getting good with my magic”

“Yea, you are better with your magic, which mean you probably can do it without help, your body is more strong now”

“Does that mean I'm better than you at magic?” she say playful, The Purple Wiggle look at her for a while before rolling his eyes

“Nan, i study magic for years now, unlike you who just learn it in couple of weeks now”

“Than how i won than” she say with a smirk, the Inventor just laughs

“Because I let you won”

“Yeah, sure you did” The Yellow Wiggle say, putting a punch on The Purple Wiggle’s shoulder, he rub his arm and did the same to her, this keep repeat until they started to playful fight, which made the two Wiggles roll around on the plane, until they land under a tree with The Purple Wiggle’s back against it sitting up, while The Yellow Wiggle was sitting on top of him, both of the, giggling and laughing for a while

“Come on, say it, say it i won fair and square” The Yellow Wiggle say

“Ok, fine, fine you beat me fair and square” both of them chuckle for while before it went silent

Emma suddenly felt her face heating up as she realized the position they were both in and she saw a blush appear on the Inventor as well. She looked into The Purple Wiggle's eyes and saw them blankly staring back into her own. This was what the chance she had been waiting for.

“Do it”, said a voice in her head.

“You want it, you know he wants it. Do it, you fool!”

The Wiggly Ballerina slowly rise her hands on The Wiggly Inventor’s cheeks, feeling her cheeks getting more warmer and warmer, she can also see it was happen the same the Wiggle front of her

“....Emma….I…I”

Emma pressed her lips against his. The Purple Wiggle’s eyes went wide, but he could not bring himself to push The Ballerina away. A rush of emotions flooded his body at the new sensation and he found himself closing his eyes and returning the kiss. His mind went blank. There now was nothing else in the world but him and The Yellow Wiggle pressing his body against hers as he closed his arm around The Yellow Wiggle's neck. They were taking in sharp breaths through their noses and Lachy felt hands caressing his cheek and his curly hair

After what felt like an eternity of blissful ecstasy to Lachy, The Yellow Wiggle broke the kiss and they both took a series of deep breaths. Emma rolled over to Lachy's side and faced the sky, while The Inventor  kept his eyes closed with a silly smile on his lips. Eventually the first coherent thoughts came back to him, together with the first doubts. Was this a dream again? It could not have been real, but it felt so much different than her other dreams. Emma could not possibly feel the same way about him.

“I'm sorry...I should I mean We Should get back to the others” He heard Emma's voice from beside him. 

He opened his eyes. So this was real. But what did it mean? Was it what he had been hoping for all this time? Or was it all just in a rush of the moment, caused by the adrenaline pumping through their bodies. He repeated Emma's words in his mind. She was apologizing to him. Apologizing? For what? Did she think the kiss was a mistake? Lachy turned his head and saw the girl of his dreams lying next to him on the floor and looking at her with sad eyes before seeing her slowly getting up

“Are you … angry with me?” Emma asked quietly, Lachy scowled. 

"Angry? Why would I be angry with her? Oh, no! She did think this was a mistake. She was going to leave me. This had been my chance and I blew it." 

Tears he had subdued for months were beginning to well up behind his eyes as he saw Emma facing away. The only person he ever wanted to be with over everything else was going to leave him, rejecting him.

He could live with the uncertainty, with his dreams and hopes that he might one day be strong enough to tell Emma about his feelings. He could handle waiting and not knowing, but he did not know if he could handle rejection. Emma just stood there and tears began flowing down Lachy's cheeks. 

"No! I had to tell her. I had to tell her now. But, how?" He was growing desperate as he saw Emma now standing, facing away from him. “Wait, Emma!” he pleaded while trying to suppress his sobs, looking at the Wiggle through teary eyes.

“Wait?” Emma repeated quietly with a crackling voice without looking back and sniffed, which Lachy could not hear. 

“Why?” Lachy closed his eyes and mustered all the strength he had left. 

“Because …” he took a deep, ragged breath. 

"Tell her!"

”Because I love you!” he forced out, nearly whispering, and allowed the tears to come now freely.

Lachy could not see Emma eventually turning around and was oblivious to the footsteps coming closer to him. All he could feel after the wave of despair had hit him and he was crying on the floor was the gentle touch of a hand on his cheek. He opened her eyes and turned his head, seeing a yellow shape through his blurry vision before being drawn into another kiss. This one ended quickly, however, and she instinctively wrapped his arms around The Yellow Wiggle again and held her in a tight embrace, determined not to let her go this time. Together they rolled over on the side and he felt the hand from before stroking his hair, trying to calm him down, but he could not stop himself from crying.

He sobbed audibly into The Yellow Wiggle, giving voice to all the frustration and desperation that had been amassing inside of him for the past months. All the failed attempts at building up his strength, all the blissful dreams that had ended in tears, all the pressure him had put on himself and nearly collapsed under, all of his fantasies that he feared would never come true and all the long hours he had spent watching Emma from his room practicing his stunts without the ballerina knowing.

He had learned over time to hide his feelings better in public, until the time was right, he had told himself. He grew apathetic and detached towards strangers and put on smiles for his friends. But that had not changed a thing. On the inside he had been tearing himself apart and had begun to hate himself for his own cowardice, thinking that it could be any day that Emma would start dating someone else. The thought of the girl she loved being together with someone else had nearly broken him.

Emma had been patiently holding and comforting him and eventually the flow of tears slowed down and stopped, leaving her and Lachy in a firm hold of each other, The Purple Wiggle still buried in Emma's somewhat wet dress from the tears that were collected.

After a few moments Emma also stopped stroking his hair and simply rested her head on his chest. 

“LachIan?” she asked.

Lachy gave her a quiet “Hm?” as response, but otherwise did not move, kinda surprised to hear his full name not his nickname.

“Can we … talk?”

Lachy sighed. He knew this had to come, eventually. He took his head back and looked down to see The Yellow Wiggle's concerned look. Lachy gave her a small smile under his reddened and tired eyes. 

“Yes,” he said weakly, 

“Of course. I'm … sorry for the bawling.”

Emma smiled softly at him. “No, it's fine.”

“It's just that this has been gnawing on me for so long, eating me up from the inside, that -”

Emma planted another kiss on his lips, causing them both to close their eyes and Lachy 's body to go limp. After they broke the kiss they kept their eyes closed and Emma  rested her forehead against Lachy's. 

“Really, it's okay. I understand.” In truth, however, Emma knew as well as Lachy that he was far from understanding what Lachy had felt, but he accepted the comforting words and pushed that issue away for another time.

“So …” Lachy gulped, but keeping his eyes closed, almost fearing the response

“Do you feel the same?”

“I….I don't know,” Emma said, upon which Lachy expected another wave of sadness rolling in. 

“I don't know if I can call it 'love',” Emma continued. 

“I mean I've had partners before. Couple of times but I thought I knew love there.” Emma took a deep breath and opened her eyes, shifting her position so that Lachy would open his, too. 

She looked deeply into the inventor's eyes for a moment. “I've just never felt anything like this before, a feeling that is….this strong before.”

This was enough for Lachy. He knew now that Emma loved him or was at least close to it, even if he did not know it or could not admit it to himself. A wide smile was showing on his face as he leaned forward and finally gave Emma a kiss of his own. They held the kiss for as long as their lungs could support their efforts, eventually broke it and lay on top of each other again, their foreheads once more pressed against each other. Lachy pulled Emma's body closer to himself.

“How long?” he asked quietly.

Emma understood what he had meant. 

“I didn't know when it fully started but it started getting stronger after the Second session” Lachy laughed quietly. 

“I knew there was something odd about your behavior after that, especially when I was cooking is dinner you were blushing”

“Hehe. Yeah, at first I thought that was reading the book I was reading or something. Maybe A side effect from my magic…...You?” Lachy sighed deeply. 

“I can't really give you one specific point in time. But it's been a few years now, actually.”

“Years?” Emma repeated and looked up at Lachy. 

“Why didn't you say anything?” Lachy now also lifted his head and looked sadly into Emma's eyes. 

“How would you have reacted?” Seeing the realization on Emma's face he continued. 

“See? That's why I didn't tell you.” he gulped.

“I don't think I could have handled rejection.”

“Well,” Emma said with a wide smile, 

“We have a happy ending now, don't we?”

Lachy giggled softly and returned Emma's smile. 

“Yes, we do.” he planted a short kiss on the ballerina' lips. 

“Although I don't hope this is an end.”

Emma laughed.

“Oh, believe me. It's far from it.” With that they nuzzled each other and resumed their embrace, The Yellow Wiggle resting her head on Lachy's body and listening to the calm rhythm of his breath.

Lachy was the first to speak again after a few minutes. 

“Em?” she asked.

“Hm?” came the answer from the girl lying on his chest.

“I don't feel like standing up,” The Purple Wiggle said with a chuckle.

“Hehe. Me neither.”

“So what do we do now?”

The Wiggly Ballerina look up and see that was slowly getting dark, and realize it time to head back house

"We should be heading back home….but after we get ready for bed we can cuddle in your room?" She ask look up at him with her dark blue eyes

The Purple Wiggle just laughs before agree to the offer, they both slowly getting up and started to heading back home

Chapter 6:

The two Wiggles finally made it back home, they noticed that no one was there, they just guess that everyone is asleep right now, since they have been gone all day

They went upstairs and get ready to head to bed, well almost, after Emma was finish she quickly went into The Purple Wiggles' Room that no one will notice her

The two spent the time in The Purple Wiggles' bedroom, lying on the bed, cuddling, kissing, telling each other secrets about themselves and simply wallowing in the pleasure of their partner's company. Right now Emma was lying on top of Lachy, arms wrapped around the Inventor's neck, and staring intently into his green eyes, while Lachy's arms went around Emma's body.

“How do you think the others will react?” Emma asked.

“Hm. Well, I know the other Wiggles won't have a problem with us.” Emma laughed shortly. 

“Yeah and Caterina. I went to her for advice before I came to the session.”

“You did?” Lachy asked with a grin. 

“You actually asked for advice. What would The First Female Wiggle have needed help with?" Emma narrowed her eyes. 

“Ha ha. But that's what she asked me, too.”

“Well, what did she tell you?”

“Hehe. She actually told me that I should kiss you as soon as the time was right.” Lachy began to giggle under Emma. 

“A big, long, passionate kiss, she said.” Both Wiggles broke into laughter.

“So that's why you look so nervous when we meet up before the session!” Lachy exclaimed and resumed his giggling.

“Hehe. Yeah. I wasn't exactly subtle, was I?”

“Not in the slightest. I've never seen you so nervous.”

“Probably because I've never been that nervous before.”

“Aww. But you are so adorable when you're insecure.” Lachy lowered hand and rubbed Emma's cheek with his thumb.

“You know, you're the only person I'll ever let me call that.”

“Really? Well then, I'll have to make good use of that, won't I?”

“Don't overdo it,” warned Emma and gave Lachy another kiss. 

“Actually, can we keep this a secret……” Lachy's voice trailed off.

Emma raised an eyebrow. “Keep what a secret?”

"That we are dating…I haven't been in alot of relationships before, so I am still new into it" The Purple Wiggle say looking kinda sad

Emma lift her hand up and rub her thumb against his cheek 

"Hey…look at me…it's ok I understand, I understand why…it ok…we can this slow" She say in her calming tone

The Purple Wiggle smiled up at his new girlfriend. 

“Come here,” The Yellow Wiggle said softly and pulled The Young Inventor's head up into a long kiss and felt his body become weaker over hers. 

“See? Feel better now?” she asked, after pulling her lips away, while Lachy was regarding her with a dreamy smile. 

“Yes, that feels better now” he says slowly nodding his head. 

He pulled Emma around so that they were both lying on their sides and gave her another short kiss. 

“I…I…I love you.”

The smile on Emma's face got wider. “Uhm, what was that?”

“I said I love you,” The Purple Wiggle repeated also with a wide smile and gave the Ballerina another kiss, Emma's expression changed into a grin. 

“I'm sorry, can you repeat that?” Lachy now pressed his lips forcefully against Emma's. 

“I love you,” he whispered and gave her another kiss. 

“I love you.” Another, this one next to Emma's mouth. He pressed his chest against her and could feel The Yellow Wiggle's heartbeat rising. 

“I love you.” Another on the cheek, heating up the Ballerina's face. 

“I love you.” A kiss next to the eye, and Emma pulling in a ragged breath. 

“I love you.” his last kiss, this one under the ear, causing Ballerina's body to shake from the coldness reaching all over her body. 

“I'll always love you, Emma” he whispered directly into The Yellow Wiggle's ear. The Ballerina pulled him back to eye level and into a tight embrace.

“You know,” Emma said quietly into the inventor's chest, 

“I can't shake the feeling that you might love me.” Lachy began giggling and nuzzled Emma's cheek before looking into her blue eyes again. 

“Those were for all the times I didn't say it. All the times I've been too scared and afraid of what might happen.”

“Wow. This has really been nagging you, hasn't it?” The Purple Wiggle closed his eyes and nodded sadly in response. 

“Do you … wanna talk about it?” Lachy slowly shook his head, smiling. 

“No,” he said and opened his eyes. 

“Right now I only want happy thoughts. We can talk about it later if you want.”

“Happy thoughts, huh?" The Yellow Wiggle say, she just lend in laying her head closer to his chest

“So …” Emma started and gave him a short kiss.

“Why do you … you know?” The Inventor released a short breath. 

“Why do I what?” he asked, smiling like in pure bliss.

“Love me.” Emma said with a hint of anticipation in her voice. 

“Why do you love me? Even know there are other people who will drop to their knees for you…but you chose me?”

"Because unlike them, you didn't see me as a pretty face, you see me as who I really am" The Purple Wiggle respond 

“I…I don't know if I can point to the time I started feeling love for you.” he looked away in thought, but quickly faced Emma again. 

“Well, I mean, I believe that you're the most beautiful girl I've ever met.” Emma was trying her hardest to contain her laughter.

“No, seriously,” she said after a while.

“I mean it,” he stressed.

"You are the most beautiful girl I've ever met, everything you do is amazing and I can't help falling in love with you for it" The Yellow Ballerina can't help to blush

He slowly ran a hand through the perplexed Emma's Hair and started to talk again.

"To your Red orange curly hair, the waves of long curly hair, reminds me of the leafs at Fall, slowly falling down, as the weather getting colder, and Halloween is creeping in, my one of my favorite holiday"

He slowly removed his hand and slowly moving it to her her cheek softly rubbing it

"To your royal blue eyes, reminds me of the sea, and when we travel cross the sea and Captain and the others, I remember seeing the wind blowing through your curly pigtails, which I don't know if was cute or beautiful…it was both"

He slowly grab her hands and lift them up, close them a bit before opening them up again to see little bit yellow magic flying between her hands

"Your magic?, But did you create it tho" Emma asked 

Lachy blinked, not having expected to be interrupted. He quickly looked The Yellow Wiggle in the eyes. 

“Oh, no. I only helped unlock it. I just teach you to just unlock the rest was under your doing-” his eyes found the new magic flowing between the Ballerina's hands, 

“-waiting to be released.” he opened her hands that were covering the magic and slowly released it out the air watching flowing around the room before slowly faded away. Both of them take a deep breath in amazement.

The Purple Wiggle just smiled, wrapped his arms around his lover's neck and pressed his lips against hers. He rolled them both over on the side and continued the passionate kiss, stroking her hair and pushing her body against his'.

Eventually they broke apart, both of them breathing somewhat heavily. The Inventor slid his hand under and past her neck and rested her head on top of her head, while gently caressing Emma's cheek with his other hand. 

“But that's just one reason and by far not the biggest,” he continued his answer. 

“I don't think I can even find words for how I love your personality, you are always an outgoing person even know you are down, you always find the way to see an issue…you are the reason why you, me and Simon fix The Misunderstood that The Wiggles has with Sam.."

"You always a way to see that people should give other people a second chance, so far it work, and I know you would, no are a good yellow leader, I mean you are trying to do hard fix everything, which put pressure on yourself which you shouldn't do, because no matter what you are Emma…"

"Emma Wiggle: The first female Wiggle, who will make an impact in this world no matter what she does. Most people are happy that you are here, children are happy that you are here, especially little girls…, I'm happy that you here" The Purple Wiggle look up to his new partner crying

"Oh no, I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you cry" Emma just shook her head and started wiping the tear off her face

"No no it's ok, it's just that it was so beautiful…I understand why you like making poems so much,I don't know if I can tell you how I feel like that. I mean I've been trying to think of something, anything, but-” she took a small pause in which she looked away in thought before looking at The Purple Wiggle again

“-every time I try to describe you in my head, the only words I can think of are just simple works, I wish I can truly express how I feel.” Emma's voice showed a hint of desperation.

“Oh, it's fine, really. I know it's hard to let your feelings out, trust me. I've been trying my feelings in for years now,” The Purple Wiggle giggled.

“But I want to tell you so badly, show how much I want to be with you-”

Lachy had put a finger on Emma's mouth. 

“You don't have to. Not now. Take your time to think if you feel you need to. All I want to hear from you now is that I can trust you, that you'll be there for me just like I'll always be there for you. Can you promise me that?” He removed his finger from Emma's mouth.

She gave him a determined 

“Yes.” Her expression left The Young Inventor no room for doubt.

Lachy gave her a loving smile and placed Emma's head on his chest, wrapping his arms around her. 

“Thank you,” he said. It was nighttime, but right now there was nowhere else he wanted to be. He was finally with the girl he loved and nothing in the world could take that away from him. All he wanted to do now was to simply lie there and listen to his new lover's heartbeat until he could fall asleep.

“You know what Lachy?” Emma asked in a resolved tone.

“Hm?” came the quiet response.

“… I think I love you, too.”

“I know,” he said and closed his eyes, giving her a kiss on the head. With an idyllic smile, both of them started to slowly fall asleep, sleeping the night until the first day of being a couple

The next morning, it was a start to a great weekend and the first day that The two Wiggles become a couple in secret

Emma was starting to slowly wake up slowly, moving to side to side until her back as against her new boyfriend's back

She slowly open her eyes to see her phone ringing, it take her for a while, she finally reach out and give her phone and see what it is

She slowly turn around to face The Purple Wiggle who was still sleeping she looks up and smiles before speaking up

"Lach…Lach…Lachy wake up, come on wake up. We need to get ready so that we can go to the Original WiggleHouse to visit Greg" Emma say with her voice still little bit sleepy

The Purple Wiggle just grons, still asleep, Emma started to shake his body to wake him up

"Come on wake up" soon The Purple Wiggle finally slowly wake up he looks at her slowly with sleep eyes

"Huh?" He says still sounding half asleep

"We need to wake up, hon" she say, hearing her call him hon, put a sleepy smile on his face

"Come on, if you wake up, I will make coffee for you" hearing that made The Purple Wiggle to walk up and slowly sit up, rubbing his eyes

"Huh?...but I thought you didn't like coffee"

"I didn't, I know to make something for you since you been cooking for us in the past weeks" she say with a smile, he returned the smile giving her a kiss on the cheek

"Ok, ok.. fine I am going up" he say jokingly

"You know I have the best girlfriend"

"Honey, we just started dating last night maybe we wait to see if that true"

"I know but I always wanted to say it to you" he say nuzzled against her cheek, Emma just giggle and roll her eyes

"Come on let's get ready" The Purple Wiggle nods and they both got out of them bed and started to getting ready for today, Emma went back to her room to change her clothes

It take a while before both of them come out the house making the other two Wiggles waiting for them, they all say their good morning and say let's go to see The Yellow Wiggle in bed

As the Other Wiggles was walking ahead than the two lovebirds, Emma and Lachy slowly got closer to each other and hold hands secretly so that no one can see it, smile to each other

I just finished the latest ebh chapter [I know, I'm kinda late.] and I have to say.....

I'm kind of angry at Wedbesday. When Birb asked if she thought she was the killer and she lied. I know Wednesday was trying to be a good girlfriend and reassure Birb but....Birb wanted the truth.

And I feel like [My opinion] that the next ebh chapter, Wednesday will be kind of scared of Birb. [Again, I know we are talking about Wednesday and #myopinion]. Since at the end of the chapter, Wednesday saw Birb as Birb's father and I qoute. "A completely different person than the one she had unceremoniously fallen for time and time again. You looked just like your father. She would never say it out loud." I feel like after the vision? she had, that she sees Birb and her parents differently and the "You looked just like your father." showed that she saw Birb differently in that chapter and maybe more.

Again, this was just my opinion. No hate at all. Love the story.

No no, you're good, please give me your opinions! I love seeing how y'all all interpret the chapters!

I think, in Wednesday's mind, being capable of murder and being capable of this murder specifically are two different things. So in her logic, she's not lying. Now, Birb might not see it that way and might disagree; any murder is still murder in their mind, after all. Which, of course, leads to it's own sort of misunderstanding; Wednesday doesn't see the issue, and Birb is convinced Wednesday thinks they're a killer.

And with the whole "looking like their father" thing, that could also go down multiple paths. Does she see Birb as their father from when they were little, and their father appeared to be far more easy going before "trauma" happened? Or does she now see Birb as more serious, more of a cut-throat type of person? Or even some secret third thing that, if Birb found out, would gut them from the inside? There's just so much room for misunderstanding and miscommunication, not because they feel a certain way towards each other, but because they're still learning how to properly express and work through their thoughts and feelings

Regardless, it makes me excited to see how you feel about the next chapter/rest of the season!

[readbooksovermygrave]

Edinburgh, 1817. Hazel Sinnett is a lady who wants to be a surgeon more than she wants to marry. Jack Currer is a resurrection man who’s just trying to survive in a city where it’s too easy to die. When the two of them have a chance encounter outside the Edinburgh Anatomist’s Society, Hazel thinks nothing of it at first. But after she gets kicked out of renowned surgeon Dr. Beecham’s lectures for being the wrong gender, she realizes that her new acquaintance might be more helpful than she first thought. Because Hazel has made a deal with Dr. Beecham: if she can pass the medical examination on her own, the university will allow her to enroll. Without official lessons, though, Hazel will need more than just her books – she’ll need bodies to study, corpses to dissect. Lucky that she’s made the acquaintance of someone who digs them up for a living, then. But Jack has his own problems: strange men have been seen skulking around cemeteries, his friends are disappearing off the streets. Hazel and Jack work together to uncover the secrets buried not just in unmarked graves, but in the very heart of Edinburgh society.

Let me preface this review by stating that I am not a fan of historical fiction nor am I fond of romance novels. So that leaves the question, "What was I doing reading this book?" It's simple. The plot sounded delightfully dark and the cover is beautiful. What more did I need? And guess what? I loved the story. 

Pros: 

While this novel has elements of romance, it isn't the focal point from the beginning. We have time to learn about Hazel (darling Hazel!) and her ambitions to become a surgeon, despite having her life in high society planned out for her since birth. 

The mystery leading up to the big "Aha!" moment wasn't what I thought would happen at all, which left me exclaiming, "Oh?? So is this the road we're taking?! Okay, interesting!" 

Schwartz's depiction of Scotland sounds so gloomy and pretty that it's almost romantic. Even the Old Town has its charm.

Cons:

The second half of the second act–the third act feels a bit rushed. While I like Jack and how he treats Hazel as a competent woman who is more than capable of making her dreams come true, I don't wholeheartedly believe they could've fallen in love as quickly and as fervently as they did. They barely know each other. I feel like the romance should've had more time to marinate before the story gets into all of the mushy things these rowdy kids do.

As it stands, I think Anatomy is a charming little gothic tale worth reading. And if you enjoyed it as much as I did and found yourself wanting more of Hazel and her antics, there is a sequel that was recently released! I'll be requesting that my library pick up a copy as soon as possible so I can continue to go on adventures with the determined and headstrong Dr. Sinnett. While I recommend this book, as always, I suggest you take a look at trigger warnings here and if you want to buy the book, you can do so here!

Okay. So. I had to process this information. I think I'm still processing it a bit, not as much as I was initially, but like. Fucking hell.

So first I feel like I need to start with the obvious. I know that this is fiction. When I describe the experiences and stuff as if it is real, I am aware that this is fiction. That this never actually happened. But it's more in the spirit of the fact that, by participating in the story, you kind of become a character. So I guess I'm writing it from a "character" perspective, but also from a third person perspective a bit as well? I also might not entirely understand what exactly this is saying, I have been having some neurological issues lately. Also spoilers for The Social Experiments, obviously. Anyway, here we go.

I've been wanting to talk about the experience of having participated in The Social Experiments for quite some time now. It's been hard to put into words because I don't exactly remember them, but I remember mostly how I felt at the time. I don't know exactly if I can explain it, either—I've never exactly been the best at quantifying my feelings and my memory's gotten a bit screwy since then, so bear with me here. But so far I've not forgotten the feelings I felt, especially if I rewatch the actual VODs. I remember being a bit confused at first at the comedy aspect of it. It can be difficult to remember that there was a time before TSE, that there was a time before we knew exactly how things worked, what exactly the story was, not knowing about the Founder or the Hetch, all of that, back when the Lostfield Incident was being teased and talked about and theorised on, all that. But there was. I remember some emotional ups and downs at first, loving the comedy, Christian Hell is still one of my favourite jokes, frustration at that one tube puzzle in episode two (did it break? I think it broke), and then there was that gut punch of a finale. I don't remember if this is how it actually went, because unfortunately I can't find any chat messages from myself in the VOD, I think I was just too shocked to process it and type anything. Again, I am not the greatest at expressing feelings. But this is what I remember happening:

I remember feeling shocked, maybe a bit betrayed. We did everything right, didn't we? The Hero found the button! They should've exited! Why was this happening? Did we do something wrong?

I remember the choices. Live or Die. Well, obviously the choice is Live, right? We've been trying to save the Hero all this time, surely we're meant to pick Live? But... Die is there. Why is there Die? The chat exploded with a way to save the Hero; get it 50/50. Break the game, try to take control, to do something! Of course, no one knew at the time how accurate the vote was. No one knew at the time that there could never be a true 50/50. There was not a secret third option, no way that we could save him, nothing we could choose other than Live or Die.

I remember thinking, even in my blind hope that there was something we could do, wait, this doesn't make sense. What would us getting the vote to 50/50 even do? Was that even a real option? It didn't make sense. And then the Hetch dropped the bomb. There was no saving them. Not really. Not in the way we wanted to. The Hero could Live, forced for eternity to be put into these experiments, these stories. Bound to a fate of life eternal in this endless (not Christian) hell. Or, at least, until he no longer had a use. Or, we could kill them. We could end this. But he would Die. There wasn't an escape from this.

I don't remember if I initially picked Live. I don't think I did, but I can't remember. I just remember that, in the end, I picked Die. I know I did. The box slammed shut. The curtains closed. The mousetrap went off. And this time there wasn't a piece missing.

And that's how I learned that I was capable of killing someone if it came down to it. Great lesson to take away from all this, definitely information to learn about oneself, thank you RanbooLive! Or, I guess canonically, the Founder? The Hetch??? Idk. Either one of them, I suppose. It was a bit of a team effort kind of? Not really? Anyway...

I tend to joke a lot about TSE as "that one time I killed someone live on Twitch", and the tape of The Founder's Cut I bought is "the home video of that one time I killed someone live on Twitch" because, honestly, yeah. It's a pretty fun and silly thing to say. But at that point in that story, fully immersed, I felt bad. I didn't necessarily want to kill the Hero, who had been through so much. In character, I wanted this character to know that I didn't blame him for the part he played, that I didn't think they were a monster, et cetera, et cetera. Of course, when TFC came out, the ending hurt even more. If being there was a gut punch, then TFC removed my rib cage and its associated organs with that swing.

That, I think, brings us to now. All this information. I have been focusing mostly on the Hero in having to process this, because even though if you think about TFG, the Audience is responsible for all the deaths just by watching, but the Hero's death is the only one I feel culpable for. All the other information here is sickening as well. From the perspective of someone that is observing the story as an observer and one of whom's special interests is storytelling and being a sucker for those involving the nature of choice, I love this. I love how sickening this is.

However, from the point of view of someone who was there, someone who tried to save this person in the only way he knew how, from the point of view of my, well, character, I guess, it made me ill. It made me a little angry. I might be reading this wrong, because yeah, I might be reading thing wrong, anyone is capable of doing so, but to me the implication is that the Hero's corpse is still being used. Maybe I'm confusing the concept of "every time you watch TSE the story happens again" with the concept of "the Hero's corpse is now being puppeted in other shows and stuff too", because that's a thing that could be going on. But it got me thinking, did my choices actually matter? Did I really make the right choice? Can there be a right choice if you don't have all the information? If you don't know what all the consequences will be? There was never any way to save the Hero, though. Not really. Their brain was full of wires, and his mask was sewn onto his face. There really wasn't an escape for them. There never was. Was it still the right choice, then, if his corpse is still being used, Frank-style? At least they aren't alive for it, right?

My actual self, the one obsessed with stories and how they work and are told and the philosophy of choice, is, of course, eating this all up. My "character" self, the one part of the Audience and involved in GenLoss, is, of course, disgusted and maybe even angry. But that's the beauty of Generation Loss, isn't it? You get to be a character, an active participant in a story, one of many, and you get to be here, too. Maybe the reason it's hard to explain my feelings about Generation Loss because it's not really something I've experienced before. Active involvement in a story that hits all the right beats for me. Not just reading or watching, but doing. Participating.

So, thanks for that story two years ago that completely changed my brain chemistry and that I wrote this long-ass post about. I can't wait to see what's in store in Gen 0, and the rest of the story. I have a lot of other thoughts about Generation Loss that I could infodump about, thoughts that I can only say, "hey, someone should make a video essay about that" about it's me, I'm the someone that should make a video essay about that

Also we know that the symbol is called the hetch now so that's cool.

Now, here's a couple GenLoss drawings I did awhile back because I like these a lot and didn't have the time/energy/cognitive function to draw anything new as a reward for sticking to the end of this insufferably long post:

Happy Anniversary

[02091998x]

I don’t think I’ll be able to write myself out of this one.

The pain of this is unbearable, so unbearable I don’t know if I’ll survive it this time. The truth of it all. Attempting to conceptualize every moving part. I don’t know what this time in my life is trying to teach me. It’s always been about love for me. With my past. With myself. With her. I have never been so dehumanized. I am stripped of everything that made me, me. I don’t know who I am anymore & this is what I was always afraid of-I knew if I let it in, it would destroy me. To learn the hard pill to swallow isn’t going to be as hard as actually swallowing that pill. My third session of EMDR & memories are flooding back as if my life passed me by in seconds, you are a very talented human being to have distorted my reality & memories for this long. I am disgusted. I don’t even know what I feel. I am forever changed. & I can’t continue being afraid to admit it for the 19th month since. But learning abt all of the things I ignored or the things my human body/brain tucked away to keep me safe are flooding into me & I have no control anymore. I’m scared. I am deeply afraid of what comes next.

I will never understand how someone could do this to someone that only ever loved them. It is beyond deceit, it is far beyond betrayal. It is life changing-life threatening, even. I am a fool but I was also just a woman that chose love over & over again. & I will not destroy myself for another month thinking it was my fault. So I will say the things I can’t say anymore. I will sit here & write everything bc it’s all I have & the only thing I will ever rely on. It’s my safety. It’s the only part of who I am that remains untouched.

How dare you. How dare you put me there. How dare you allow me to be stripped of my humanity. & laugh. How dare you use it all against me. How dare you use it to mold & reshape my instincts, my emotions, my critical thinking, my common sense- knowing I am falling apart. I can’t believe a human being is capable of such disgust. It is a painful shock that I am unable to even understand let alone comprehend yet. I wonder if you realize how painful that is…to not understand your own mind or any part of yourself anymore. I can’t even understand my thoughts anymore. I feel like I’m going insane. I wonder if you ever think about how you destroyed me. I don’t think anyone can truly imagine what that’s like-to not understand, to not remember certain aspects of their life bc the truth is so unbearable, it might kill me. This genuinely could kill me & no one knows it. In just 5 short days I’ll have to face my father & tell him what you did. What he did. What happened to me. & I won’t be able to carry on like I once did. I won’t be able to put a fake smile on, I won’t be able to hide it & I’ll feel completely naked all over again. This will forever change the lives of my family. My heart is breaking thinking of what my father will feel. I keep crying thinking of what he’ll say, how he’ll react & how many parts of him will crumble. It hurts. This hurts in ways I am not ready to let in, my brain is fighting against it all & it no longer is my secret to keep. It is plastered in places I forgot to look, it is no longer seeping through the cracks but flooding every corner of my reality. You fucking monster. That is exactly what you are, a monster. One without remorse, no human traits, there are no words to describe the type of thing that you are. It is beyond putrid, it is far beyond disgust, it is beyond loathing. It seeps into my skin like a burning sensation-it is beyond pain.

I am grateful for the human mind & all that it does to protect the body even if it’ll take me years to unravel. But every day I get better is every day it feels worse. I know the truth about you. Every single detail. & I will never break my back again trying to convince people of me, the truth of you will come to light after this. As my final goodbye, I hope everything that happens from this day forward will catapult you into the reality of every person you’ve ever damaged. It is insane to me that I sit here hoping no one, not even you, ever feels what I have felt in the last 8 weeks. It is a pain that is almost too unbearable to keep breathing, sometimes I debate if I can take another breath. How awful is it that I wanted to forgive without even knowing all of the truth. But how beautiful is it that someone above is protecting me & putting in overtime to allow my heart to still find forgiveness & love time n time again. 2 months ago I was proud that I found it in me to forgive without knowing every detail. I could look you in the face & tell you that I forgive you. How fucking disgusting of me. How disgusting of you to find a crack & weasel your way into a happier life I’ve built. I’ll never understand why me. I’ll never understand why you want to hurt another human being so bad that only ever loved you. That’s all I ever did. Was love you. I am unable to think clearly anymore abt anything. My body does not match my mind & my mind does not match my heart. I am nothing but scattered pieces of what used to be me & I don’t think I’ll ever know her again. You piece of shit. I’m trying to find the right words to describe who you are. But you’re nobody, you are a shell of a human, you are not human at all but something that looks like one, talks like one & appears to be one but isn’t. You’re a monster.

I have so much more to say & no where to put any of it. The domino effect of this all is going to kill me. One day, everyone will know exactly who you are. I will not rush God’s divine timing. But I know deep within my soul that your day will come. That all this love in me means something. & all the loathing that comes with your name & existence will mean something far different for you too. I don’t hate you, I just wish you never existed.

[aemoglobin]

yes i know i posted a yuusona recently but i'm back. with another twst girlie. i'm collecting a full set

*jessica rabbit voice* i'm not a sweetheart i'm just programmed that way

i've been re-reading Chobits and thought it would be really funny to get Idia (and Ortho by proxy) a robot girl as a friend who could also kick his ass, as a treat.

her original name is Sango Kokubunji, as given to her by her creators, but after her reboot, she decides to call herself Yusa (after the 'U3' part of her serial number).

Sango's from an alternate third era of the angelic layer and chobits universe, where a persocom can have the fighting capability of an angel. my computer is too strong...she is the specialest girl in that era, like, only outdone by The Chobits. and of course the other corporations/countries who weren't involved in her development simply Need her...and resort to violent means to try and get her...the persocom known as Sango Kokubunji was last seen outside an empty plot of land on the outskirts of a suburban area, where she disappeared into thin air despite the multiple 'eyes' on her.

did the black carriage pick her up from yuuko's wish shop? well, yes!

"What was the price she paid to escape her assailants?" she paid with that CLAMP staple, her memory! it's a good thing she's a powerful super computer and can just write a new one...

"What are the 108 secret programs?" well first they're a Mokona reference, i love that white fluffy bun. second, they're a secret, duh!

"Why are her fingers blue?" Yusa has a lot of experimental features baked into her that she's only partially aware of, and this is one of them. She can retract the covering on her right hand's fingers to create and interface with hard light screens. Those are her cool transparent fingers filled with code and light. i'm not good at drawing it lol

yusa is the sweetest kind-hearted optimistic cotton candy best girl you'll ever meet and only 85% of that is her programming. what's she really like? we just don't know yet!! she doesn't quite understand sentience yet and is relying heavily on her old default personality program.

yusa has a peculiar way of phrasing things when she talks out loud and it's not always nice. she has never followed THINK in her life. idia learns something new about himself every time he talks to her for more than five minutes about anything other than his hobbies, let's just put it that way.

yusa has the dubious honor of being my first twst girlie who actually likes grimm...she adores him. first she beats the shit out of him for trying to set her on fire but after that he's her baby boy and she's his number one fan <3 mutual respect earned through violence. thinking that grimm is a cutie baby is her first sentient 'choice to like something'. achievement unlocked!

she can't see the ramshackle ghosts but she CAN fight them so they stop bothering her almost immediately. yusa also can't understand the fairies even with her translation suite working overtime, she has to have grimm translate for her. a lot of magic won't work on her or near her, so she has to be careful with her surroundings. for classes, she's just grimm's note taker and does anything involving writing for him. there's no point in her being a 'student' since she's a robot and disinterested in performing that role (her second sentient choice!).

idia gets roped into doing her repairs because he's literally the only one who has experience with robotics on this level. yusa shows up at the entrance ceremony holding her own arm and crowley is like oh i'm extra not dealing with that before pushing her at idia and leaving asap (the processed metals in her body give him hives).

yusa is a special girl like i mentioned before so her voicebank gets to be whichever vocal synth i feel like. she has a lot of them. her default voice is hatsune miku append dark!!

idia: well okay if you're a commercial model (wrong) then where's your serial number... yusa: (completely deadpan) take me to dinner first, omg????? idia: what yusa: what

and stuff like that!!

i have to reread his book again before i make more concrete decisions about their actual relationship. they are friends for sure though once he gets used to the way she talks!

"What about Ortho?" it's almost 11pm i will finish this later!!

[guessimabasicnerdgirlnow]

Alright, the post from yesterday didn’t show up. Maybe it still will, it has happened before, but I will try to rewrite it anyway.

Dylan’s part

One of the reasons I took so long to catch up with the comics is that I saw rumors of Dylan’s death, and as we all know I love that boy, so yeah. It was a surprise to me that I loved the issue in which it happened so much, of course I can only say so because he was quickly brought back, but really, the story got so good and there were so many good emotional moments and I just. Ughh

I mean. Carnage’s trap? Killing the son of the first guy Venom killed? The recording?? Bringing them to The Church??

I love that Symby actually told Dylan some of their past, even if trying to keep the worst hidden. The way they speak, they are able to look back and see that the start was bad (which isn’t a new thing, but not something that has been constant, with the way characterization changes so often). Dylan also isn’t in the dark, he knows something Symby didn’t want to tell him (Eddie being suicidal). I wonder how he knows it, if Eddie told him or if he got it from a third party (Eddie has never been secretive about anything ever) or idk mind sharing stuff

Dylan’s “I know this…” makes it seem like this is a story he heard a bunch of times. Like, you know, a teen hearing from the hundredth time about their parents’ first meeting

I think that it’s important to note that at this point Symby knows that the blame is shared

This just made me laugh. Disappointing parents. Lol

Carnage says a lot of really hurtful things to both Dylan and Symby (when did they learn how to read people so well?) but in my opinion this was the lowest blow towards Dylan. Like really, imagine being called “little brother” by this guy? Gross!

(I didn’t take a screenshot but I also think it’s important that when Carnage first says that Venom has killed, Symby comes out and says “yes, I have”. The honesty, being able to admit it and still fighting. Symby was at something close to peace with their past when this fight started…)

“Are you scared of rejection?” - I mean, it’s not like this has been a big motivator for Symby from the very start!! It’s not like the pain of rejection has molded them into who they are today!! Red went directly for the heart, and they aren’t done!

“Or do you think you will corrupt him like you’ve corrupted the rest of his family?” - The thing everyone keeps saying they will do, since that one time Peter tried to make Eddie separate from them? The thing they’ve been accused of doing when they were a young slime looking for love? The thing the Agent of Cosmos lore says they are capable of, that the Knull lore says they were made for? The thing they actually did in those weird 00’s comics and in Cates, I think?

Sometimes when stories try to show a character’s core and feelings and fears, they fail horribly, but this? This is perfect. This touches two themes that have been strong in Symby’s story from the start! Symby has always been afraid of rejection. Symby has been associated with corruption for a long time, whether it’s a deliberate lie or a misconception or true.

“Would Eddie be a killer without you?” - *looks at the Garden* *looks at divorced!Eddie* I mean, probably? Eddie has a lot wrong with him that the symbiote didn’t need to help. But hasn’t Eddie himself used this argument a bunch of times before?

“What about Anne?” - Daaamn. I wasn’t expecting Anne to be brought up like this. I wanted to scream and pull out my hair because. It’s so perfect for Carnage’s plan. Anne, Dylan’s mother who he never got to meet because she killed herself after abandoning him. Who died afraid of the symbiote. Who had her life permanently altered and cut short due to such a brief bonding

I wonder, how much of this is new information for Dylan, and how much just hit harder because one thing is to have heard or read about it, and another is to experience the memories

The whole thing with Anne was probably specially hard for Dylan because he was literally born from this. Anne was struggling with these feelings when she got an alien pregnancy on top of it all

And that of all of Eddie’s worst moments that could be here, that it was this one. From Cates’ run, him taking the pills to silence Symby. This is not the worst, in my opinion, Eddie has tried to murder Symby a bunch of times after all. But this is recent. This is after the big reconciliation. Eddie didn’t go back full time to Symby after this.

This is around the time Dylan first met them.

It screams “even now, even the person who loves this creature more than anyone else does, they can’t fully trust it”

Of course it worked. I felt my own heart being torn in two with all of this

“That hurts Venom more than any blade could” - Because again, rejection. And this isn’t just any host, this is their SON 💔

[stealingyourbones]

Danny learns bruce is his bio dad when wayne visits fentonworks. That night batman shows up to meet him and immediately shares his identity as bruce. Apparently b had danny pegged as a secret vigilante the moment he laid eyes on him, and identified him as phantom halfway through his introductions. Danny's smart enough to realize he just won the fucking superhero allegiance lottery. He's gonna milk this so hard, he's gonna THRIVE. Just point bats at all of his enemies and watch the world burn.

Oh man I’ve seen many variations of Danny’s reaction to being Bruce’s bio kid but it’s never been something like this.

Danny not going “yeah this is my town” and instead going “thank gOD now I can get some REST! Hey Damian, can you fight this guy who wants to take my skin so I can study?”

Batman goes and instantly creates dozens of contingency plans for all of the ghosts. Is a ghost harming Danny? Cool they’re getting captured in a Even Better ghost thermos that allows the ghost to still communicate even when captured and Batman terrifies them into not returning to Amity.

Both Batman and Danny fully accepting the situation, (there’s still some holy fuck I have another dad/son crisis but that doesn’t linger for too long).

Batman so glad that he has a son that’ll accept his fucking help whenever he’s asked and he doesn’t have to bully his kid into needing assistance.

Danny is so happy because he has a mentor figure that he knows is fully capable as a vigilante and doesn’t have to worry about them dying in a fight with his rogues gallery.

There’s so much angst with the debacle of “wait what the fuck I got another kid.” Sure, it’s a fun thing to write, but in doing this you can write about other conflicts:

Bruce or Danny patching the other up after a fight and chiding them for not blocking themselves more.

Bruce or Danny teaching the other how their tech works. One being the dozens of Bat gadgets, the other being Fenton gadgets. Could be a fun bonding moment talking about either technical stuff, Bruce being fucking baffled that Danny’s parents seem have their machines made out of mostly duct tape and prayer, discussions about how ectoplasm is used as a power source, or things of the sort! Don’t make Danny hide his tech! He goes “fuckin take these blueprints and help me make something that’s 100% effective” to the Batfam.

Bruce making Danny a new suit for better protection and Danny making Bruce a new suit so he can punch ghosts and be brought into the GZ.

Bringing the Batfam into the GZ to meet Frostbite, Fright Knight, or Clockwork! Have the strange father figure meet the other strange father figure and have them bond about worrying over this strange little halfa boy.

Worrying about if Jazz will accept being adopted too and Jazz going “it’s about time” and accepting far easier than they expected.

Jazz walking into the Batcave, sees Jason’s Robin suit on display, and goes “yeah that’s gonna have to be moved. Oh and Bruce, you’re meeting me in the third floor grand office closest to the stairs and we’re having a therapy session.”

Since Danny isn’t hiding from his family or anything, (well maybe but these guys are oblivious as hell. Let them just strangely accept that their kids have caught the attention of another billionaire and that they’re glad that Danny seems happier ever since he first met Mr. Wayne.) so he can have Tucker and Sam over to Wayne Manor. He can stay the night at Wayne Manor (Bruce tells them he uses a private helecopter, Danny just ghost zone portals himself over) and hang out with his new friends.

Anon you are fucking brilliant and I love this oh so much. This is a “Danny is Wayne’s Bio-kid” concept that NEEDS to be tapped into.

29 Lessons from 29 years of living 

Hello friends, 

I’ve spent a little while contemplating on whether or not to create a blog post for this but I figured there is no harm in it, and maybe someone will take something from this the way that I take lessons from other peoples’ confessions. 

I have spent 29 years on this earth so far and only very recently have I started writing myself letters on my birthday, listing all the things that I’ve learnt in the year prior. 

Like most other things I post about on this blog, I’ve made a YouTube video talking about this year’s list and the reasons behind each lesson, which you can watch here, but if you prefer to read through lists and come back to them later etc, like I often do, please continue reading and let me know in the comments if you are going to take on any of the lessons I’ve learnt myself, or if you’re going to start making your own list! I’d love to hear your lessons. 

29 Lessons from 29 years of living: 

1. I am truly capable of creating any life or manifesting any opportunity I want. 

2. I should take as good care of my health as possible. 

3. Always try to learn something from any given situation. 

4. Sometimes, things are just shit and can’t be turned into a learning experience. 

5. Not all friendships are meant to last, no matter how badly you want them to. 

6. Let go of people who make you feel like shit. 

7. Don’t lower your standards - let the good people come to you, they will. 

8. Trust you intuition! It never ever misses. 

9. Read the book, watch the movie and rest when you need it. Enjoyment isn’t always productive. 

10.  Never get tired of going to things by yourself - that’s when you have the most fun.

11. Drink water - as much as you can. 

12. Always wear sunscreen - it’s the reason people are looking younger and younger! 

13. Journalling helps your mental health - keep this habit up. 

14. Moving your body at least once a day and preferably in the morning makes you so much happier. 

15. Keep trying to learn that second or third language - your brain works better because of it. 

16. You are lucky - even when you don’t feel like it. 

17. One walk a day is an act of rebellion against productivity and capitalism! (Read Sarah Wilson’s This one wild and precious life to understand this one) 

18. Look around you - take stock of the beautiful world we are in - look up from your phone!! 

19. Don’t get caught up in what other people think of you - if you’re happy and not hurting anyone, fuck what anyone else thinks. 

20. Some people don’t deserve your forgiveness, your time or your energy. 

21. The love you’ve given others they they haven’t returned is never wasted. 

22. Believe that love is out there - you give it to yourself everyday. 

23. Finding time to be creative is an essential part of your happiness. 

24. Sometimes you can keep a little secret for yourself - it’s fun! 

25. Always looking for a silver lining isn’t weakness - finding a light in the dark is strength. 

26. Meditation is important - it makes you kinder. 

27. If you want to do something, jump at it without hesitation - we only have only life, and it truly isn’t that long. 

28. Find beauty and fun in the small moments in life - the mundane can be the best parts. 

29. Never stop believing that a dream can become reality - what is meant for you will never pass you by and if you’ve imagined it, it is meant to be yours. 

If you’ve gotten to the bottom of this post, thank you for taking the time to read my words and thoughts - these are deeply personal to me, but if you’ve gotten anything from them, I’m glad. 

I hope wherever you are and whoever you are, that you’re having a wonderful day and being your truest and most authentic self. 

Be kind to your self and others. 

See you in the next post! 

Gxx

I’m very 🤔 about Kerri, because although Asbel says he doesn’t really know what his parents think of him, Kerri is… seemingly… fine as a parent? Her main flaw is that she’s incredibly ineffectual regarding Aston’s choices😅 But it makes sense as much as I dislike it, especially when you compare her personality to her flashback self; eventually she just learns to act in the role she’s married into. But I’m not too sure how absent she might have been towards Hubert or Asbel, it makes sense that she is, Asbel clearly cares about her and still receives her letters, his refusal to engage with Lhant is more so bc he doesn’t want to depend on them (ex. selling Excalibur to pay tuition instead of asking his family), but. hm.

I don’t want to trend too hard into demonising parents, because Aston is uh. not good not bad but a secret third thing. But at the same time there’s a lot you can get out of disagreements on it.

Anyway, my initial thought was “awww Kerri recognizing when Asbel isn’t Asbel and getting to know Lambda”, but then it turned into “Kerri being rightfully freaked out that her son is being possessed by the same monster that possessed the King and caused like a ton of problems, and even more worried because her son insists that that monster is totally good now, when he’s clearly capable of taking over Asbel’s body.”

It’s like “but daddy I love him” but. uh. *gestures* 😂

me, stuck at work, daydreaming fic to get me through the boredom: how would Kerri react to Lambda

Alright, I'll bite: what's the intro starter pack for the Soap and the Skullman? You successfully have me intrigued.

I AM DELIGHTED YOU'VE ASKED

Skullman and Soap are from the game Call of Duty Modern Warfare II. It's a 2022 remake of a game that came out in 2009, and the remake has some notable improvements and provides an interesting perspective of how video games have changed in the last 14 years across the board; visuals, pacing, story, characters, challenges etc etc. All of which is cool but I'm here exclusively for the wall of beef being served.

Allow me to explain.

The single player story game includes 2+ hours of pristine cut scenes carrying the plot and character development, and any number of hours playing the game which includes banter and fps’ing. POV bounces between two teams having adventures and bein' sneaky all over the world. There’s also a Multiplayer mode but I know next to nothing about it so you’ve certainly come to the right place to learn some things. Youtube has a bunch of great Let’s Plays for the entire game, as well as videos of just all the cut scenes. Highly recommend, not least of all because I was blindsided by how wholesome it all turned out to be.

Simon "Ghost" Riley 👻 💀

Character with so much going on if anyone but a triple A studio pitched him they'd be told to calm down. Wildly op. Incredible passive intimidation score. Somehow internationally feared stealth agent despite Looking Like That. Aesthetic as fuck. Ranked Lieutenant if you can tell the different breeds of officer apart. HEIGHT. Manchester accent. Tragic backstory. The mask is a whole other post and I’m not normal about it. Despite going into it like a cat being forced into a bath, he is one half of the Grumpy One Soft for the Sunshine One trope that causes me physical agonies. (Secret third thing! Poor Little Meow Meow candidate.)

Johnny "Soap" MacTavish 🧼

You know how sometimes when a zoo or sanctuary has a cheetah or something that’s super anxious they’ll give them a chill, reliable, confident, protective dog friend? Yeah, anyway Soap is assigned to Ghost in the beginning of the game. SCOTTISH. Mohawk. Wears jeans throughout most of the game despite being continually dunked in cold water. Everyone wants to work with him so he kept being reassigned and always had to make new friends. Other half of the Grumpy One Soft for the Sunshine One trope, but Soap was an immediate, I mean immediate, adopter of his part. (Bonus! Pinnacle of AW little guy!!! Oh he’s a little bit fucked up actually..)

Kyle “Gaz” Garrick

Carries this team on his fuckin’ wings. Good at everything. Set all the records when he was in training and no one’s touched them. Eldest sibling energy someone give him a break. If a situation could kill a normal human, Gaz might be mildly discommoded.

John Price

Captain of Team 141, which Ghost, Soap, and Gaz are a part of. Keeps finding and adopting wildly competent soldiers/rebels/mercenaries as allies all over the world who would very literally die for him and they’re not wrong. Very protective of his kids allies. Could attack an army with a soggy corn chip and win. Team Dad. 

Alejandro Vargas

Managing with grace and panache despite his job apparently requiring him to fight everyone within a 200km radius. A colonel in the Mexican special forces. Stressed, but make it hot. Gets to prep for disaster like the world is ending but unlike most preppers seems to be having a blast and it all comes in handy. Loves his team do NOT separate them. Does attack an army with a soggy corn chip and win.

Rodolfo “Rudy” Parra

The only man on earth capable of being Alejandro’s second in command and exceed expectations. Incredibly good at everything. Much too well behaved and well mannered for this. Not high enough ranked to decide on problems, not low enough ranked for them to not be his problems. Someone help him.

Phillip Graves

Commander of Shadow Company, a private military thing. Gets to live, laugh, love being a mercenary with a massive fucking armory and zero restrictions. Suspect he has the keys to his tiny southern USA hometown and his parents are embarrassingly proud of him. Energy of a Jack Russel Terrier in a world of squirrels.

How much more space do I have? There’s a lot more ground to cover. I’m missing way too many characters.

Farah Ahmed Karim

Leader of the Urzikistan Liberation Force and a human shaped meteor. Price asks her for help and before he can hang up she kick slides in on a dirt bike with a machine gun and a squadron of fighters behind her. Coolest person in any room. Lots of stuff on her plate but seems really organized about it.

Kate “Watcher” Lazwell

Their CIA connection. Buddies with Price like everyone else except she’s the wine aunt to Price’s Team dad. Has killed people with her bare hands and will kill again. Is married and adores her wife. Cares SO MUCH but manages to not be burned out by constant bullshit.

Ok so now we’re into the boys from the multiplayer part of the game and listen there are crumbs of canon content and a cake of fanon content.

König

The man is 6′10″ tall and built better than most F150s. Wears the hood over his face because being taller than every standard doorway in Europe while dealing with heavy anxiety could be easier. Found confidence and comfort in getting really good at murder. Will go a little berserk, as a treat. Wanted to be a sniper but does not have the patience. ADHD icon. Fanon knows in their heart he can be categorized as a sopping wet man who needs a forehead kiss and a grilled cheese cut diagonal.

Kim "Horangi" Hong-jin 🐯 

Joined the military to escape gambling debts then found out he’s actually really good at being in the military. Knows about pop culture phenomena first, cool about it when you finally catch on. Fighting unspecified inner demons. No one knows why he wears a mask but fanon assumes he has delicious scars.

(Bonus! His actor, Nick Martineau, is a menace!)

So there’s a lot more but, listen, look at me, ok? Look at me. I am holding your face in my cupped hands. I am looking into your eyes. I am speaking so earnestly. Listen, I am so not normal about this ok? Please message me if you want to know anything else. I will be so stoked.

Genuinely, it was really fun to watch a bunch of lets plays and find it went from surprisingly good to actually good to oh I’m INVESTED invested in this. Replay/rewatch value is high, and there’s plenty of neat things that work well, good fridge horror, and a lot of the game runs on the characters just really liking each other. A central pillar of the story line is that Ghost makes a friend =) and that saves the day. Which is nice. There’s plenty more in the game to talk about but this is just what I’m taking away to share for now.

Ok thanks for asking, I hope some of this was helpful!

2023 writing list

Not exactly a New Years resolution, as those don't often pan out, but more of a personal checklist. Please feel free to stroke my ego by asking me about any of these. If I remember I'll update with links as I finish.

I did not expect to start writing again in 2022, and the fact that I did is completely because of Sandman and the amazing tumblr fandom for it. So. Things I would like to write/finish in 2023:

1.) Black Unicorn AU: it has languished while I put off rereading the source material and write other things. I know HOW it ends but I don't like the ending scene I've written and until I do it won't click. But no one else is going to write this one so we'll keep working on it.

2.) He Would Not Say That: which has expanded to the point where I'm overwhelmed by it and overthinking the morality of fucking your boyfriend's dream subjects, which is a buzzkill because it was supposed to be very un serious sex comedy. Hob would give Chidi Anagonye a massive stomach ache if I could justify the crossover.

3.) Crack one-shot: Come Live With Me and Be My Cat - a spin-off of love to Avelera’s amazing fic and inspired by that great picture that @twottie-m8 did of Hob throwing Cat!Dream at the Corinthian

4.) Some kind of SandOmens side piece PROBABLY attached to Least of These so we can have a good fun "you built a what to whom" reaction from Aziraphale and Crowley.

4a.) The Next Level - wrote this instead, a very soft fluffy little piece where Dream asks Aziraphale and Crowley for advice on being the type of friends who hold hands. We'll see if that scratched my itch to write SandOmens.

5) Actually, let’s throw The Least of These on this list. Didn’t include it before because I started it in Nov/Dec, but it was SUPPOSED to be a soft smutty 5k and now it is 25k and is more plot than smut, and has taken up more of my time than I anticipated

6) As of yet untitled longfic #1: if published will be two separate works, part one a setup of "Dream shows up every couple of years for sex, but in a different disguise every time because he thinks he's smart" and part two is your standard fishbowl rescue/let's rewrite season 1, because we like them. I want this to be better than I feel I'm capable of writing but I keep plonking away at it, and it's 16k words already, which is too much for me to give up on.

7) A Secret Third Thing: (not actual title) where I come to terms with the fact that in killing off Morpheus by having him put half his soul in the Corinthian I accidentally made an OC that I'm kind of interested in.

8) Honeymoon piece: I don't want to write the wedding, that sounds exhausting, but Hob wants to honeymoon somewhere he hasn't been where they can just be themselves, and Dream takes him to a little side project he, Delirium and Destruction started a few centuries back: a friendly desert community where the sun is hot, the moon is beautiful, and mysterious lights pass overhead while everyone pretends to sleep. The King of Nightmares is a minor celebrity in Nightvale, and he gets to show off his new husband. Silly.

8a) I did, in the end, write a wedding, if a rather hasty one, so we have: Then maybe, maybe, maybe you'd stay which was written almost entirely in 72 hours in a tiny hotel room in a foreign country 6000 miles from home, after my husband's passport got stolen 15 hours before we were supposed to fly home, thus turning the end of our dream vacation into nearly a literal nightmare. Apparently I stress write. You learn things when you travel.

9) The Financial Crimes of Hob Gadling, only of I can think of a way to do it that shows off my special interest without publishing a "How to crime" guide.

10) Longfic #2, working title "All the Things That Lie Undone" - loosely based off the plot of a favorite out of print smutty historical romance novel. Basic plotline is worked out, but so far all that's written so far is the first two chapters and one sex scene.

11) Longfic #3 which has eclipsed all desire to work on Longfic #2, which will hopefully be my Centennial Husbands Big Bang entry.

12) Anything I want, there are no rules, I have permission to have fun and make myself feel happy.
