》 random thought hehe not even going to format it because it's a spur of the moment thing and it's 5am 😭😭; overused trope maybe?×*×*; soshiro hoshina x fem!reader; confusing plot me thinks im so sorry this was just a random thought that occured 😭😭; wc: 259; read for a banger 🙏
Tumblr media
“hey y/n” the young hoshina soshiro calls for the attention of the little lady. “do you need anything, soshi?”
“do you pinky promise to stay with each other forever?” his closed eyes opening as he offers a pinky to the young heir. “of course, you doofus! i'm going to become the strongest to protect you and mama and papa!” you say, pumping your fists and locking your pinky with his.
hoshina soshiro can't help but laugh, clutching his stomach as you stare at him weirdly. “what's so funny, meanie young mister master?”
“oh nothing nothing, i'm looking forward to it, o great knight and shining armor!” he declares to the world without a care. “just don't forget about our promise, okay? you know what happenes to liars!” the young hoshina quips. “of course not, doofus! lying is bad, mama said so! hmph. what do you take me for?” you say with fake agitation and turn away from him.
“noooooo y/n! i'm sorry i didn't mean iiiiitttt” he says as he continues to giggle.
“meanie!” you felt him tackle you and start tickling your belly. “hey! stop it!!” you gasp for air as he continues the tickle attack on your body—laughs being carried with the wind and more pinky promises being shared as the moon took over the sun.
in that moment, he believed you and in everything you said.
yet, as he watches your lifeless body get pulled out of the remains of tachikawa base, he can't help but think:
what a liar you are, my dearest.
Tumblr media

just saw your offer for book recs and would love some fantasy/sci fi books, it seems like we have similar taste. i just finished nk jemisin's broken earth trilogy, and also loved the city we became by her.
Aha, I am at work right now and thus do not have my bookshelves at hand to make sure I'm not missing something blindly obvious. However, I will start you off with these:
The Rook and Rose trilogy by M.A. Carrick (The Mask of Mirrors, The Liar's Knot, Labyrinth's Heart). Yes, this is the series I have been screaming about nonstop for the past few weeks and thus craftily suckering unsuspecting passersby into reading. An AMAZING world, an OT3 who own my entire ass, lots of political intrigue, cultural and social commentary, a unique magic system, and also plenty of humor. It really has it all. I continue my one-man quest to make this fandom bigger. Ahem.
The Green Bone trilogy by Fonda Lee (Jade City, Jade War, Jade Legacy). Another fantastic fantasy series that NEEDS more readers. Inspired by Chinese/Hong Kong kung-fu movies, set in a gritty modern universe, kind of like the Godfather but with magical jade-wielding families. Tons of discussion of empire, culture, violence, appropriation, power, war, family, Asian identity, more. They're likewise nice and long to keep you busy.
The Daevabad trilogy by S.A. Chakraborty (The City of Brass, The Kingdom of Copper, The Empire of Gold). Another you-gotta-read-this trilogy (yes, I have many of them). Set in the 18th-century Middle East and the magical djinni kingdom of Daevabad. Politics, empire, religion, history, intrigue, magic, scheming families, ancient wars, and my most beloved, Muntadhir al-Qahtani. What is not to love.
The Priory of the Orange Tree and its standalone prequel, A Day of Fallen Night, by Samantha Shannon. Absolute doorstopper (800+ pages apiece) epic-with-dragons-and-medieval-worlds fantasy, like Game of Thrones if Game of Thrones was a) good b) gay c) feminist and d) had people of color. She is also the author of the Bone Season series (four books thus far) which is a unique blend of futuristic sci-fi and fantasy set in an alternate totalitarian London and a ruined Oxford.
Winter's Orbit and Ocean's Echo by Everina Maxwell. Two M/M space opera romances (set in the same universe, but can be read independently). She got her start as a fanfic writer and it shows; these are both delightful, plotty, funny, and full of sassy gay disaster homosexuals in space.
A Memory Called Empire and A Desolation Called Peace by Arkady Martine (I have read the first one, need to read the second one). Historian of medieval Byzantium writes space opera set in Space Constantinople which is also Space Tenochtitlan. Explores language, history, memory, power, identity, assimilation, and more, and is also very funny.
Autonomous, The Future of Another Timeline, and The Terraformers by Annalee Newitz. High-concept social-commentary dystopian science fiction; of the three, Terraformers (the newest one) might be my favorite. They're not related so you can read them in whatever order.
Two books that I have not read yet but I really want to: Swim Home to the Vanished by Brendan Shay Basham and To Shape a Dragon's Breath by Moniquill Blackgoose. Both are fantasy novels by Native American authors; Basham's is magical realism and Blackgoose's is about a Native American dragon-rider facing assimilation at an English (Anglish) boarding school.
Likewise coming soon and I am excited: The Jinn-Bot of Shantiport by Samit Basu. Middle Eastern-inspired fantasy, cyberpunk, techno-magic. In space!
There are definitely more that I will get home and be like oh wait yeah. But this should get you started.

Oh that was chilling. What got me most is Devin's bedside manner. I thought the murder victim was going to be a third party who'd done something to Maddie. She said "nobody is going to hurt you, you're safe" and I BELIEVED her. Aaaaaaaaa
HEEHEE :3
i always find it a little funny when there are Absolutely No Liars in a story. like honesty is very interesting as a code of honor or characterization thing, and it's very fun when an antagonist is like "aha, on a technicality i am keeping my word even though i'm betraying you!!"
BUT. i also want straight-up liars. you guys aren't bound by fae rules. Say Things That Aren't True....
devin is a good liar, despite a general lack of social skills. devin also Seems like a character who would not kill a sweet old granny for no fucking reason. these things combined create a false expectation!

Arc 1 - Bonds
My assorted commentary on the first chapter of Pact for my mutuals who were interested in my thoughts. Testing out formatting this might be mess thank you for your patience.
As always no spoilers please thank you <333
This is technically my second time reading this but I wasn't paying attention the first time so I wanted to start over
1.1
“My children are useless,” she said. She was so dismissive and casual about it.
First of all. Icon. I absolutely love wretched old women and I love having the foresight of knowing practitioners cant lie meaning that this is presumably an objective evaluation of her children's capabilities. I'm also gonna watch out for Blake's mom and Aunt Stephanie though. They aren't included in that statement so maybe we can have an evil magic milf era. Like in Umineko. I love Umineko.
If anything I’d said had an impact, it was that. I could see the faint amusement drop away from her. “Are you accusing me of being a liar, Master Blake?”
aHA BECAUSE PRACTITIONER RULES
It was well after dark when someone stepped outside to talk to me. I closed out of the puzzle game I was playing on my phone. The brightness of the screen made for a dark patch that lingered in my vision as I looked up. Eleven-fifty at night.
This is an interesting writing choice because it's clear that a lot of time has passed but not exactly how much. Which adds mystery to the question of "was Rose planned all along or did Rose Sr. make an impulse choice after talking with Blake.
Also I really wanna know. When Rose met Ivy did her parents bring her in and talk or did they just set the baby on the bed and leave.
“Molly! Don’t be rash!” Aunt Irene admonished her. “I don’t want it,” Molly said, again. She grabbed the footboard of the bed. “No.“ “Molly, don’t be silly.”
Molly is one of the biggest reasons I don't want spoilers. Everything about her is so interesting. She was the first choice but she died very quickly. But not THAT quickly. Was Rose 2 always the plan and Molly was the sacrificial lamb to pave the way or was Molly just genuinely the best choice to become heiress. She survived for four months which is, if Pact is paced similarly to Worm, long enough to survive Leviathan, The Slaughterhouse Nine, Coil, and Echidna or whatever their equivalent in Pact land is. And that is no small feat. Like obviously I'm assuming here but I can't imagine the combined forces of Jacobs Bell were just letting her chill. I have so many questions about her and I want answers to none of them.
The blonde woman opposite him folded her hands in front of her. “That was… noteworthy in scale. Kind of her to point the way, but she was never crude. We’ll need to know what she did before we move on.”
THIS SHIT RIGHT HERE. Noteworthy in scale. Rose is not a small feat. Why are she and Blake positioned as the backup plan. Thinking so hard
“Funny thing, Maggie,” Padraic said, and when he smiled, the expression extended further than it should have. The smile too wide, the eyes too long and narrow. “When something momentous occurs, it can be the equivalent of lighting up the night sky, scattering fog and clouds to the horizons. You can see more clearly… but when you look, they can look back, too.”
Maggie and Padraic are some of my favorite characters based on vibes alone. I just know they're going to die so horribly so early on. At least Maggie.
“Mm,” the man in the throne said. “‘Lo, stranger. Listen, I don’t think you should believe what any of them say about me. If you need help, I can offer it.” “For a price,” the dog added.
Now see Johannes I would love to give you the benefit of the doubt however I know for a fact (a pact fact!) I have not seen any fanart of you making out sloppy style with Blake Thorburn and as such I find it hard to believe you are his ally. The wildbow ecosystem is too yaoi deprived to not jump on that pairing unless you're some type of fucked up.
“Run,” she said. “Get to the house, now.” “Which house? Who-” “Molly’s dead,” she said. “You’re next.”
HAI ROSE
1.2
I actually don't have much commentary on this chapter other than RIP to BlakeRose but I would happily take the deal to become a creepy bird monster. That's the ideal living situation actually.
1.3
The first sheet had only a simple message, penned in a curling script I almost envied. ‘Birth date’. I tried the year I’d been born. It didn’t work. Day, month? One-eight-oh-one.
...
“Molly!” I hollered, loud enough I should have been audible throughout the house. “Anyone!?” No response. Somewhere, in my general confusion and the mess of stuff I didn’t know or understand, I’d hoped that Molly being alive would be one of those things that caught me off guard.
Not to needle at his grieving process but I'm pretty sure the fact that it was His Birthday Not Molly's that opened the door was a pretty clear sign
I shook my head. “No clue. Something to keep in mind. After stipulations, there’s a section on stipend, with a regular allowance, notes on how often the lawyers can be called without incurring a debt. Oh, right here. A mention of the bird-skull monsters.” “What?” I could see Rose move, standing from her seat. “I’m joking,” I said, with zero humor in my voice.
I think Wildbow should do what visual novels franchises do and make a non canon crossover beach themed spinoff episode with all his characters. I want to see Blake and Lisa be cunty together
My friends were artists and artistic types. I had the unfortunate distinction of being a less than stellar artist. But I’d owed them for the help and support they’d given me, and in helping them with their jobs, I’d stumbled onto a bit of work. Setting up their work, installations, as well as all the other grunt jobs. Sure, they could go to a carpenter to get something put together in the way of a display stand, but that carpenter wouldn’t necessarily know what was at play with the art. Along the way, I’d settled into being a go-to handyman and delivery guy in the local art community. I knew the gallery owners, I knew who was who, and if I couldn’t do a job myself, I knew who to call. Not so glamorous or fancy, not exactly stellar pay, but I had stupid little skills that I could use here. In a pinch, I could use my stride or my arm length to help me figure out measurements, thirty three and a half and thirty-two and a half inches, respectively.
So fun fact I was a gallery tech assistant for about three or four years in high school and I would just like the record to state. A. Wildbow you captured the gallery tech mentality exactly. Tired, sassy, and overall filled with peculiar useful skills. 100% accuracy rate.
Also Blake please call your friends sooner rather than later. The blond gallery tech who works for cheap going suddenly missing is going to DEVASTATE that community. Blake you are a protected species under the wildlife conservation act and the human equivalent of catnip for bisexuals with an art history degree you are the foundation of that community and they are going to be CONCERNED
1.4
She looked a little agitated, nervous. “I think we can go this route. Avoid getting into the ugliest stuff, the books on demons and whatever else. If witch hunters and inquisitors can survive this sort of thing, maybe we can too.” “Borrowing power instead of using it?”
I'm trying to figure out if Rose II is in on it. Because like. She should be right? But then she says things like this that make it sound like she really is just as lost as Blake
“In case you haven’t noticed, I’m kind of attached to you, metaphysically. You die, I’m going to be a goner too.” “You think. Either way, I’m the one who got injured,” I said. “I’m the one who has stitches in my hand and a cut on my face.” “At least you’re alive,” she retorted.
They've so immediately become siblings.
Which by the way. If Blake and Rose are fucked up twins of a sort. I have questions about Paige and Peter. Especially seeing as Paige is considered a non starter for Rose Senior
“In this scenario, we’ve got a situation involving a number of countries. If you will, there’s America. I’m rather interested in America for the purpose of this discussion, but that’s just me. Powerful, perhaps overly proud, large, keepers of the peace.” I glanced at his uniform. “Sure.”
Close enough. Welcome Back Victoria Dallon!!
1.5
“It smells like a rose,” a man announced, “It’s as beautiful as a rose. I dare say it’s as fragile as a rose, once you get past the thorns. But is it really our Rose?” I turned. Three twenty-somethings, if I went by appearances, were approaching me from behind. I might have been off. Each had alcohol in brown bags.
I want to be one of them so bad. I want to join the fucked up Fairie gang.
“No,” I said. I grabbed one of the books from the coffee table. “Anger is good.” “Good?” “It keeps us moving. You read the book on implements, I’ll read up on familiars when I’m done Essentials.”
True gallery tech mindset <3
1.6
“Blake!” Rose’s voice, from the living room. “You have to help him!”
This is one of those passages that makes me think Rosie is in on it. You've read more than Blake how has this being an other trap not occurred to you
1.7
Should another practitioner need to bait him again, know that this author used: a pile of festering boar carcasses, six feet high, each carved with his name when well into their state of decay, the decay timed using refrigeration to be roughly parallel; seven jars of burning hair, resupplied keep the flames perpetually alight
Yea who hasn't been here at one point
“To everyone and everything that’s listening,” I said. I heard Rose start speaking behind me, but my words drowned hers out. “To me, and to nobody in particular, I’ve gotta say, I didn’t choose this. I’m doing this for family, to respect them as they were in the past, when my cousins were also my friends, so the others don’t face what Molly did. I’m doing it to respect stuff in the present, because even if I dislike my cousins, I don’t want them to have to face this situation and get killed off. I’m doing this for the family that comes in the future, so my kids and all our descendants don’t have this debt hanging over our heads. Above all, I think I’m doing this for my real family. For the friends I made who gave me support when I needed it most, so I can demonstrate what they taught me. Past, present, future, and… more abstract.”
Guy who can only hate his family this much because of how much he loves them Augh Augh
I could hear Rose behind me, still talking, as if she were very distant. “-than a vestige.”
SUSPICIOUS
“It doesn’t matter,” she said, quiet, “because it’s not blood. I’m not offering anything worth taking, and there aren’t any spirits here to listen and obey, are there?” “There are other options, maybe?” “It doesn’t matter,” she said, again. “I don’t care anymore.”
But then this is the opposite of suspicious because she can't lie but she's saying it didn't work and she wants to give up hhhhhhh Rose you are so slippery to understand
Gathered Pages
I didn't highlight any particular passages but Rose Senior I love youuuuuuuu

Omg lol this is my first time interacting with anyone on Tumblr since I just joined, but I've been a BIG fan of liar liar since chapter...5? Not as in I didn't like the first ones, just that I also only joined ao3 kinda recently :)
I am ABSELOUTY OBSESSED with LL, like the way that the chatacters have bits of canon in them? Their relationships with yn? Porcupines relationship with yn?! Mercupine?! Amazing. Chefs kiss.
It's my literal favourite fanfic buuuut it's tying with a few others because I'm really bad at deciding. BUT ITS SO GOOD AHDKSKJSKDK.
Is it bad that I kinda ship mermotionless 😑🧜‍♀️? Obviously it's not better than mercupine, but kamo with Eren Jaegers hair?! 😍🤤 100% would date. But he's getting in the way of mercupine so...😡
Gah I've spent wayyy too long wondering what's going to happen wen the angst starts angsting but I'm a BIT of a delulu girly so my theories end up spiralling out of control. 😅
Ok but I feel like as kamo and yn spend more time together, yn gradually likes him, and they date. And our lovely little porcupine isn't exactly great woth figuring out his feelings until now (except for that one chapter where (correct me if I'm wrong) he hugs yn and gojo teases him about it? Idk) but obviously he does NOT like kamo, and mermotionless?! He would go into a coma.
SO then porcupine(yes that's all I refer to him as) is like 'ohhh I like yn. Damn.' and he hates kamo even MORE and because yn is dating kamo, it gets a bit awkward between porcupine and her 😭😢. So theyr gradually stop being friends but I feel like yn would NOT do that she'd be acting normal while porcupine is all awkward and moody and angry whatever. And THIS IS WHERE OT GETS DELULU OK. Ok maybe not that delulu bit still.
THEN yn confronts porcupine because he's acting weirdly, even for him. And ofc she doesn't know why she's way too clueless 😮‍💨. And porcupine gets all angry because she doesn't realise why, and they get into a fight and stop being friends😭😭😭😭😭. BUT mermotionless BREAKUP for reasons I have not come up with yet and then ✨MERCUPINE✨
aha anyways stop I literally love Malakai (kai) so much argh I just wanna put him in the pocket of my black jumper and give him a little black blanket and run away he's so cute 🥰. The Malakai (kai) ships are interesting 🤔 but funny nonetheless.
And gojo fathering? I literally die laughing anytime I imagine yn on gojos shoulders with the faceapp on porcupine on her poster😭😂😂.
Urgh I would totally draw some LL related stuff but I need to study for my test tmr (I'm cooked) and I have a big drawing project. I probably won't start with mercupine tho, I'm a bit afraid of messing up their personalities 😅. But I just have the overwhelming urge to draw maki and Mai when they were kids in their little puffer jackets (pls tell me this actually happened and I'm not schitzofrenic) and I CANT FIND THAT SCENE I'm genuinely concerned that I'm just making things up in my mind
Also lol, im a big c.ai user (not on a freaky way) but would it be ok if I made some bots from LL? I think I'll keep them on private or only used with the link, but I just really love all the characters. I wouldn't copy paste ofc but I'd probably keep the dialogue the same :) and if I do decide to make them available with the like I'll probably (definitely) share with you:)
I swear I had more to talk about... let me think 😖 nvm I can't think of it 😭 OH WAIT I REMEMBER ahhhh good luck with your uh, uh, whatever exams you were studying for i can't remember 😭
I'll be waiting for the next chapter good luck 🤞🙂🧜‍♀️🦔😈��
i lowkey have a headache so i’m reading and responding to this as fast as i can, i apologise if i sound like i’m slowly desiccating 💀
i’m glad you’re enjoying the story so far! <3 mercupine’s relationship is one i took great care to get down as accurately as i could imagine megumi being in an almost-relationship, kinda 😭
it is nawtttt bad that you lowkey ship mermotionless. you’re not with the 2% of the LL readers who like them together 😀
being delulu is literally the solulu in this area 😋 nothing is impossible here we literally have 100% of the characters living their best lives in this verse
i read that whole prediction/theory with a blank face 😭 no one’s gone that far in their prediction before! like usually it’s a small scene they predict, or a small prompt, not an entire storyline hahaaa
we’ll see how right or wrong you are tho 👀
you’re also the second kai lover i’ve seen 😋
putting him in a pocket would be difficult ‘cause he’d put up a dramatic fight about it. the black blanket might work tho… good thinking 😭👍🏽
gojo fathering is my fav thing in the world tooooo, like i love that man sm and i love his canon-relationships with his students. i just tweaked it so he’s more like a father to them than just a teacher, but we won’t rinse the idea out, otherwise it’ll just get overbearing and that is the LAST thing we want 😭
girl study for ur examssss, don’t stay up reading LL. i’d die inside if someone failed ‘cause of me 😤
and you can absolutely make bots on c.ai from LL! i think that’d be super cool!
you’re not schizophrenic, there was a scene with maki and mai as kids in their puffer jackets. check elementary school, the scene where mc’s mum is taking them and megumi and y/n to school <3

eating up the content as per usual ‼️👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩 i'm so excited ur getting into muna i got into them a few months ago and they're just so chaotic and funny, id say another way to get good insight in their personalities and speech patterns and whatnot is by listening to gayotic (their podcast!) i literally listen to gayotic to fall asleep sometimes LMFAOAO
okay now time for my thoughts on more barista!reader x jb:
question, what do you think the drink actually is that jb orders? like, in my opinion, i feel like its just one of those really popular sweet ice coffees that most people like but its bc they don't actually like coffee and julien is like about to eat a spoonful of salt to cut the sweetness bc how dare she not drink every drop of this ice coffee her pretty gorgeous cool amazing barista girl crush made for her
THE ANGST i love, that's so something that i would do ngl, i can imagine julien being like gutted that reader would think they were coming off weird and stopped doodling on her cup and reader like blushing and smiling at her reaction
speaking of angst can you imagine the dramatics of when reader finds out that jb doesn't actually like her order...in my mind it's not even something reader loves it's just popular and they overhears phoebe or lucy with julien making fun of her getting a drink she doesn't even like and reader doesn't mention it until like a week later because they've been analyzing jb getting her drink
im picturing julien coming in and being like "same as usual ☺️" and reader is like "are you sure?" and julien is confused like "uhh yeah i always get that wdym hahah" and reader explains what she overheard and julien is internally panicking like 'okay this is it she found out and she's gonna hate me and think im a pathological liar'
omg what if from then on reader makes her something new EVERY time until jb finds something that she really likes
julien coming in during a rush and reader frantically ranting to her about how stressed they are but julien is sitting there listening to them like this 😍 and reader can't help but notice and then they're like "sorry i didn't mean to ramble on like that..." and all embarrassed
one last thought, julien coming in and getting her drink but then sitting on the couch or window seat and reading a book or doing work on her laptop and reader is checking on her every 0.5 seconds and they keep making accidental eye contact and smiling but neither will actually talk to each other (classic wlw yearning from afar)
OKAY rant over 😊😊
-🪷
tysm :D i’m definitely getting into muna!! funny enough i’ve gotten a few asks but i’m waiting to get more into them before i write them up!!
i’ve been watching their gayotic podcasts, i started by watching lucy’s then julien’s and lemme tell you i love it. i’m someone who loves to take note of speech patterns and how people word things so it was interesting to learn more about them individually
as for barista! reader
hmmm. i feel like jb isn’t someone to order overly sweet things. like say fraps or something. black coffee or something 😭 a little bit of sugar like maybe a teaspoon is fine but overly sickening sweet nooo. she takes it though and doesn’t complain because at the end of the day reader made it and there was cute doodles on it and she doesn’t want to be like “aha hey… so i don’t actually like this”
she either chugs it down or splits it in half with one of the boys so she has less to drink. she wouldn’t put your hard work down the drain
reader finding out jb doesn’t even like the orders they make and they are like “YOU COULDVE TOLD ME”AND JBS LJKE “that’s true”
omg reader handing jb a new cup everydsy like “so this is peach ice tea” and the next day it’s like “so this is matcha tea” and maybe julien’s just extremely picky on her drinks but she’s yet to find something she likes
reader literally watching julien sit down and write lyrics or type away at her laptop and they make eye contact every so often but both are too scared to say anything so queue reader coming over with a slice of chocolate cake like “here you go” and jbs like “oh i didn’t offer it” and readers like “it’s on the house” and jbs like “oh.. thank you-“ and you stick your hand out like “i’m [name]” and she’s like “julien. i can’t believe we didn’t ask for each others names yet”

Thus commences the last in the "Haru bugs FF about Milgram" series, with only two more characters to put on the table !! ...Huh? Ask in my inbox? What ask in my inbox, I have no idea what you're talking about !! Aha !! Ahahahaa !! (i swear i'm getting to answering it i'm sorry for the wait) The last two on the list is Green Anime Baby (/ref) and Schrodinger's Sexuality, both of which you have already talked about before but this can serve as an opportunity to say whatever else is on your mind regarding them
The end of an era, really. The final two people.
Take your time on my ask! It's pretty hard to get so many thoughts on these characters in words, because there's a lot to them, so.
CW: Internalized homophobia, suicide and murder, cults and indoctrination, child abuse, heavy Amane apologism.
EDIT: On second read, I may have come off a bit strong with the Amane apologism. Keep in mind most of it’s hyperbole. I recognize her actions are morally grey, that’s the fun of it, but this isn’t a serious analysis. This is a collection of brainrot, and so I’m letting myself indulge in mindless Amane apologism, hope it’s not too much of a bother.
Let's start with Kazui. The (allegedly) gay (possibly) aromantic old man. Yeah, the aro/gay reading has grown on me since I made that Cat post. Though I'm biased towards the aro thing for obvious reasons.
Anyways, I like him! For the final time there is the issue of sexual attraction being a decently big part of someone's character, and me not really being able to relate to that, but at least this one has the whole thing about lying and societal expectations which makes it a bit more interesting for me. I personally have never had any big issues with my sexuality after I figured it out, but I can sympathize with his struggles to an extent. More than I can sympathize with Mahiru anyways.
I am always inclined to like characters who lie a lot, because it makes them more interesting to analyze. I tend to prefer when they aren't constantly telling everyone they're a liar, but Kazui isn't as annoying about it as some other characters (if I can like Kokichi I'll survive Kazui's thing). Kazui is cool because there's always the tiny doubt in my mind that maybe we're making a horrible horrible mistake by voting him inno this trial, but the more logical part of me knows that really isn't the case probably.
Shame his songs aren't really my kinda thing. I like Cat well enough, and I think half is good too, they're just not what I usually listen to.
I think it's funny his first instinct in his first VD was to try and apprehend Es, very funny guy. In particular, I think one of the most hilarious things that I've seen from Milgram so far is when someone before the release of Cat shipped him with the bartender just so Milgram could have a "Gay or European" parody, which is great, watch it if you haven't, and then it became canon (in theory).
As you know, I'm currently voting him Innocent, not just because of the whole "defending the others" thing, but because he clearly regrets what he did, he didn't mean to kill Hinako in the first place, so while what he did was pretty shitty, I don't think it's completely unforgivable.
I'm honestly coming up a bit blank on what to say about him other than the stuff I've sorta already talked about. I'll talk about the interrogations later, because right now I'm sorta distracted... by her.
Tumblr media
Look at her!!!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Look at how silly she is!!! She is not mentally stable but she slays that insanity look!!!
Tumblr media
There's more of them??? This is fantastic!!! I love that for her!!!
Tumblr media
Look at how happy she is, going to commit first degree murder!!! Yes, go literally slay queen! Kill 'em! Make them suffer >:D!!
(That last image and her murder shot may be my favorite Milgram frames btw)
I love her a lot a lot. To make it clear to you, I like her about as much, if not even more, than Min. Yeah, that's the critical levels of brainrot we're dealing with here.
She's just so fantastic honestly. Her entire story and personality and capital S Silliness is just fascinating, I could think and talk about her forever. It's hard for me to put into words, because I think about her and I start vibrating. Hands are shaking because Amane too awesome.
Amane is the reason why I even got into Milgram in the first place, you know? Like, I was seeing it pop up around my dash every now and then, but I was content to kinda ignore it... until I started seeing fanart of this weird little girl standing in an army of clones, and she looked a little... a little silly you know? I wanted to see what the deal was, and so I started obssessing over Milgram, so.
And what a time to join. Purge March may not be my favorite song musically (it's probably fifth after Backdraft, MeMe, Harrow and Bring it On. Magic is a bit below that but I also like that one), but it's probably overall my favorite MV of the series. Amane's an incredibly interesting character, the visuals are awesome, and lyrically it's amazing. Literally my only complaint is that it isn't longer, like please under three minutes? The shortest fucking MV in the series?! Evil /lh
One of my favorite Milgram lines in general is:
After you cry, repent, and kneel, it’s now your turn to say that hopeless “I’m sorry” You’re sorry? I don’t care! Please, go ahead and die already!
Just the almost jarring shift from "like our religion ordains, everything will be back to normal if you just apologize and repent :)" to "I don't care what you do, I hate you and I want you dead" is fuckaingadjk yes Amane go go go kill 'em! I don't care if you try to excuse your actions by twisting your cult's teachings so much you actually contradict them! That just makes it even better!
Yeah my sense of morality cannot properly process Amane's crimes as actually evil. Honestly she could kill the entire cast and I'd forgive her. Sounds like a skill issue on their part not gonna lie. Just let her stab Shidou, come on! Let her brainwash Fuuta! If she has DID, then let one of the alters not afflicted by Milgram rules stab Es! I think that'd be very funny.
God, she's just asodak`+ anda alsldk
Sorry, I'm normal again <- Kazui-core statement (aka a lie).
Amane's just really awesome. I can't properly make a character analysis here because I will simply explode and I'd like to survive to see her third trial MV. I think I'll love it no matter what it is, but I do have some things I would particularly adore. Bassically I just want her to go feral, just- just go insane. My inner Veronika in full swing, I wanna see a play by play of her murder and just her covered in blood and screaming like yeah girl beat 'em up! I've seen some people suggest she should just turn into a monster in her MV and that would be so awesome. I am so immensely normal about her holy fuck do you understand.
Obviously I think she should be voted Innocent this trial. Because I'm pretty sure there's just no coming back from a second Guilty, so we're essentially dooming her and irreversably breaking her psyche. Shidou will probably survive any physical wounds she could possibly inflict, but I'm not entirely sure Amane would be able to recover after a Guilty. I also have a full draft talking about all the ways voting her Guilty just to protect Shidou could go wrong (Fuuta could attack in her place/there's a chance it wouldn't even stop Amane/Amane could sabotage medical equipment even while Guilty/Amane might still have the "first stage of physical restraints" from Trial 1 making a second Guilty redundant/DID could let her skip over the rules/etc). So overall I think Innocent is by far the better option, and I hope the way she's bleeding Inno percentage is some sort of statistical quirk and not her actually losing ground on absolute terms...
... But.
Listen, an inno is absolutely the best option in my mind. But if she gets voted Guilty, after I cry for a few months straight...
I am going to be so excited to see what she does in Trial 3. My inner Veronika coming out again, I wanna see how bad she gets. The more terrible and feral she becomes, I'll only love her more. I want to see all the horrible things she's willing to do and say without justification (/ref). God Kami-sama I need therapy.
Ehem. Anyways, I like Amane a lot.
And there's the dynamics, the dynamics! I've already brainrotted about her and Fuuta a bit on his post, but holy shit I love them so much. I want them to get out of Milgram and be silly together. They really are the siblings ever. Fuuta would introduce Amane to all sort of online and self-indulgent stuff she probably wouldn't have had access to before, helping her reconnect with her own desires and happiness, and Amane would try to get him to touch some grass and fail miserably. They are probably my favorite prisoner duo overall; they're both already silly on their own, and their silliness is multiplied exponentially when they are together.
Like, you gotta understand. It's not just that they are objectively hilarious together and they should hang out all the time always. There's also the parallels. Have you ever noticed how they both present themselves as heroes in their own ways (knight and magical girl)?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
That they both want nothing more than to impress the very people who are pushing them to do bad things?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
[Magic] I hope, I hope everyone can be happy and smile
[Backdraft] Tolerate, impress those spectators
The way Fuuta sees judgement as fire while Amane sees it as rain?
And justavs jas doj oq
God I am exploding I am going crazy like O2 I'm burning myself into oblivion I'm undeniably inequivocally definitely completely insane-
Okay I'm calm now. I need to stop thinking about 0308 parallels because I will simply combust. So we're moving on to-
Oh fuck the Es parallels too!
Amane: We’ve talked about this before. There are things more important than the law. That would be our teachings. Es: I won’t acknowledge you turning such selfish rules into a standard of judgment. I won’t allow it. End of story. A: … E: Both religion and faith are free. However, a doctrine can’t become a universal standard of judgment. A: You fool. Isn’t Milgram trying to enforce a new standard of judgment precisely because laws cannot guide this world onto the right path? Are you still being weighed down by the law?
E: Shut your mouth…! I am the one casting the judgements here! A: Hehehe. And how does that set you apart from us?
A: “We”? What’s “we”? Are you not just “I”? E: … I…? A: Aren’t we the same? Me and Warden-san. You know, I’m aware that I’m out of the ordinary. That my environment was peculiar, and that everyone else is normal.
What if I just ascend into another realm? What then? Can I still post my silly little thoughts from the world beyond?
Listen, there's so much to talk about with these two. I've already said I'm a sucker for protag foils, and Amane may be the most direct foil Es has alongside Fuuta and possibly Kotoko. Not to even mention their sibling dynamic, too, only matched in awesomeness by 0308!
E: No matter what you do, no matter how grown-up you behave – you’re a child. That’s an unchangeable truth. A: You’re a child, too! E: Wrong. I’m fifteen, so I’m an adult in Puerto Rico and Haiti. You’re twelve, so you’re a child no matter the country. A: …!! E: Hehe. You look angry. A: I don’t. E: You do. A: I don’t!
Actual sibling behavior what the hell. I think they should stick together if they get outta the hell prison.
Honestly it's ridiculous how awesome this girl is. I could talk about her and her parallels with all prisoners for days straight. I am not normal about her.
It's not even the prisoners either! Like, have you heard of the Sacred Texts, the godforsaken fucking cat parallels?! I'm going crazy just thinking about them. The only reason I haven't posted 15000 different posts about it is because Amane PhD haver Dr purgemarchlockdown has already talked about it so much. But they are so incredible. Animal cover goes hard, too. I have to listen to all of those at some point.
I will be so upset if she doesn't end up Innocent this trial (not as in mad, as in extremely depressed and a bit mad). I've even tried to cope by thinking of how it's mathematically possible she's actually been getting more Inno votes than Guilty but her percentage is dropping anyways due to statistical quirks and please tell me once the percentage stabilizes it will hover around like 53% give me some graphs I want to try to make some predictions please augh-
Anyways I need to calm down or I will never be able to post this.
So let's look at interrogation questions! New ones come out soon, yeah? I'm excited to talk about them when it happens (and after someone translates lol). Kazui first!
(T1) Q2: Is there anyone you hold in high esteem?
K: You wouldn't know them, but I have a childhood friend. I really look up to them. Sorry for bringing up someone you'd have no clue about.
(T1) Q17: What would you do if the world ends tomorrow?
K: I would lazily do some fishing. My childhood friend who I talked about earlier has a boat.
Childhood friends to lovers AO3 tag is strong with this one huh. Hope his Trial 3 MV contains a scene of him fishing. It's just a funny image really.
(T1) Q3: If you were allowed to do anything, what would you want to do?
K: I'd like to live righteously.
(T1) Q4: Do you think that your family is proud of you?
K: No. They must find me embarrassing.
(T1) Q7: Do you like yourself?
K: I can't really say I do.
(T1) Q19: Do you want to be forgiven?
K: I'm not sure. I also want my weakness to be tolerated, to be honest.
Yeah, the (alleged) internalized homophobia is strong with this one, huh. I'm assuming that's what he's referring to when he says "weakness" unfortunately. I hope he gets therapy when he gets out of Milgram. But you can say the same about all the sillies I guess.
(T1) Q5: When you go to an amusement park, what do you like to ride?
K: The merry-go-round. I actually want to try riding on one.
What. Is this. Is this related to the merry-go-round in I Love You? Like Kazui wanting to try being in a relationship where the love is (somewhat at least) reciprocated? Will think on this more later. Maybe.
(T1) Q6: What is the difference between an adult and a child?
K: Responsibility. Adults can't just go and do whatever they want.
One day I'll start making posts about the prisoner pairs and this will come up in 0708 but I am currently unable to think more about Amane without imploding so.
(T1) Q12: What is the meaning of life?
K:I wonder what. If you find out, kindly come and tell this old man.
(T1) Q14: Do you listen to music?
K: Well, a decent amount. I'm sure you wouldn't know them because they're all old songs.
Why does my guy always talk like he's about to die from old age. Dude you're not even 40 you have literally half (song reference hah) of your life left at least, at least try to live it you know?
(T1) Q15: When do you wake up/go to bed?
K: Because I don't have a job now, I'm letting myself act freely. I sleep whenever I get sleepy, and get up before noon.
I've always wondered about this one. Retirement for police officers in Japan is around 60 years usually, so there's gotta be some other reason my guy's unemployed. That's assuming he was a police officer, since I've seen some dispute the claim, but I think it makes sense. Did he quit after Hinako's death? Something happen before it? It's really peculiar, especially because we don't really get any reference to this in either half or Cat from what I can see.
(T1) Q16: Do you believe in past existences and fortune-telling?
K: I don't. I can't shift to them the responsibility of what happens in life.
Oh you mean like how Amane pretends her murder was ordained by God even though her cult would very clearly disavow her killing anyone or anything because of the whole "follow thine destiny" thing? Curious.
Alright now get ready for me to analyze literally every single Amane question out of principle.
(T1) Q1: Do you have any special skills?
A: Nothing that I can call a talent. Perhaps studying. I do well in my Japanese class.
Does murder count as a special skill? Because I think she's actually decently good at it. Her studiousness is obviously caused by the whole cult thing, but good on her for being good at Japanese! Couldn't be me.
(T1) Q2: Is there anyone you hold in high esteem?
A: My father. My father has been on a journey for a while, but that is something very honorable.
I've always wondered how the father thing plays into her story, there hasn't been too much reference to him yet. There is the second voice reveal trailer thing, but honestly I'm not too sure what to make of it honestly.
(T1) Q3: If you were allowed to do anything, what would you want to do?
A: Nothing really. I am not lacking anything.
Alright you lying liar.
(T1) Q17: What would you do if the world ends tomorrow?
A: If everything ends? Then, I might do all sorts of things I have never done before.
I fucking love characters who lie to themselves yes fucking inject that shit in my soul-
(T1) Q4: Do you think that your family is proud of you?
A: Of course. No daughter is as exemplary as I.
(T1) Q13: Who do you want to meet right now?
A: My father. I want him to praise me for working hard.
Her (allegedly) dead mother staring at her from hell like ಠ_ಠ
One day I'll make a post about how it's possible everyone in Milgram's just dead and Amane got killed by her father when he returned home and that's how she ended up in Milgram and I'll be sad.
(T1) Q5: When you go to an amusement park, what do you like to ride?
A: That is a place I should not go to.
I hate her cult so bad. I imagine that would be obvious, but I'll say it anyways.
(T1) Q6: What is the difference between an adult and a child?
A: There is no borderline there. I think there are grown-up children and childish grown-ups.
She had to grow up so fast I'm fucking depressed. Also ngl "childish grown-ups" is kinda based I think Amane should just insult people more often it's very awesome of her.
(T1) Q7: Do you like yourself?
A: I have never considered it from the perspective of love and hate, but I do think I am a good child.
Ouch. Ouchie ouch ouch.
(T1) Q8: Between ethics and emotion, which do you prioritize?
A: Both are trivial.
"Throw down, ethics is a delusion"~
This is honestly just a really funny answer. I get why she's saying it (common ethics and her own emotions are not as important as her cult's teachings in her eyes), but there's always a bit of hilarity that ensues when you say "ethics are trivial." Amane should honestly be allowed to violate Geneva conventions, I think the world would be better if she did.
(T1) Q9: Tell me what your family consists of.
A: It was my father, my mother, and I.
Was, huh. Wonder what happened there (murder happened there (allegedly)).
(T1) Q10: Is there any prisoner you're close with?
A: If I were to say, I guess it would be Yuno and Mahiru.
And then she wasn't! Kami-sama that first trial aftermath was a warzone.
(T1) Q11: What kind of meat do you like?
A: I don't eat meat.
The part of me that loves body horror sorta wants Amane to be shown eating her victim in Trial 3 to really drive home how 'this is not what the cult wants her to do'. Is that not a normal thing to say? It makes me sound completely fucking unhinged? Oops. Anyways.
(T1) Q12: What is the meaning of life?
A: I think it is something you learn for the first time when you look behind yourself when it ends. I do not want to have regrets then, so I live on with all my might.
Sometimes (a lot of the time) I think about Amane when she grows up and hopefully is out of her cult's control, and how she'll feel about the first 12 years of her life. I hope she and Shidou make up.
(T1) Q14: Do you listen to music?
A: Not really, to songs that are highly entertaining.
I headcanon that if the prisoner's listened to each other's songs, Backdraft would be Amane's favorite because it's exciting and she likes Fuuta.
(T1) Q15: When do you wake up/go to bed?
A: I go to sleep at 9PM, and wake up at 6AM.
She sleeps for nine hours a night? This is the healthiest sleep schedule I've ever seen in my entire life the fuck is this. I get this is because of the cult thing, so I think my girl should get to do a sleep-over with some of the other prisoners eventually, but still.
(T1) Q16: Do you believe in past existences and fortune-telling?
A: Although there are many fake ones.
How do you think Amane would react to Mikoto's tarot thing? I can't think of anything funny to say so I'm just not gonna address the question.
(T1) Q18: Do you regret your "murder"?
A: No. It was a natural obligation.
So true bestie, kill the bitch. I will live up to my name as the Local Amane Momose Apologist, I want her to kill everyone that's ever hurt her (not the audience obvs).
(T1) Q19: Do you want to be forgiven?
A: Of course. I anticipate that you will make the right judgment.
Come on, how can you disappoint her again? Vote her inno, she deserves it.
(T1) Q20: Any complaints about being imprisoned?
A: No. Because this is a trial by God.
Reason #543785478 why voting her inno is the better option: there is zero chance she sees a second Guilty as anything but another trial she must endure, so she'll only cling harder to her faith and I seriously worry we might not be able to get her back by the time Trial 3 rolls around.
Okay brainrot over. I'll be surprised if anyone survives that amount of insanity but here we are. Thanks for all the asks! And excited to see what you're cooking on your end. Take care!

@maskednihilism / continued from here
There's a small jolt given. He's never one to be surprised, usually Sampo did the surprising. But he was caught off guard. Even more so when he gazed over to see who has touched him. "S-Serval?!" He wants to pull away. Things haven't exactly gone well last time they saw each other. He would say it went down right awful. But all she did was use him for stability as she got into her seat. Which happened to be right next to the thief. He doesn't know what to say or do. Honestly he wasn't aware she'd be here. Well he did as it was a music festival of sorts, but not next to him. He assumed she would've been up front with the rest of the talent. Not back here with low life like himself.
Tumblr media
It's silent between them. Sampo never liked the silence. It made him think too much about things he rather forget. Like how he lied to the other about himself. "So…" the thief starts, rubbing the back of his head somewhat nervously. "You come here often?" FUCK. Now it just sounded like he was trying to pick her up! "I mean of course you do, being the music guru you are haha! Actually I haven't been here, I'm just babysitting the seat for the little ones." Well now he just sounded ceepy. "Dan Heng! Dan Heng and the rest of them! You know how they are, children needing their big brother Sampo haha…" Aeons please strike him down. Unfortunately Aha found it funny so no one would be struck down today.
Serval wasn't quite sure what prompted her to sit next to her old friend but she was here by herself and needed some company. Normally, she would be the first to suggest to perform with her band but unfortunately not all of her bandmates could make it. It didn't stop her from having a good time though.
"Yo." While she sat down confidently, there were still many nerves inside of her that didn't quite know what to do or say. The music was enough of a distraction to fill up some of that silence but she wasn't comfortable fully getting into the moment and nod her head or tap her foot to the beat.
Luckily, Sampo did decide to finally speak up but the words that left his mouth weren't what she expected and left her to look at him with her eyebrows raised in confusion as he continued rambling on.
Eventually, she broke down in laughter.
Tumblr media
"Were you always this awkward?" At least Serval wasn't the only one who felt uncomfortable but his reaction told her enough. And then she thought she was a horrible liar...
"I didn't know you were that close to them. Nor did I know that they were coming... They should have told me so! They know how much I love music."

Odd numbers for Fatome!
1. Biggest pet peeves? How much do they annoy you? Are they bad enough to be a deal breaker if someone you were interested did them?
"I really don't have many pet peeves. A few sweeps ago, I would have had a different answer, though. I had been very adamant that my religious order was above criticism, and even perfectly reasonable arguments would get me incredibly upset. But it luckily hadn't ever been a dealbreaker. Probably because deep down, I knew I was wrong." 3. What are your turn on’s turn off’s?
"I'm not sure I'd like to answer something so private. Not to mention, I wouldn't have a good answer to it right now... My mind has not been in the right place for things of that manner." 5. What if your least favorite and favorite parts of your body? Any feature you pride yourself on? Then least favorite would you change it if you could?
"My least favorite part of my body at the present moment is my tail. I would get rid of it in a heartbeat, but considering I almost bled out just removing my fins, I believe it's unwise for me to try.
My favorite part, though... I'm unsure. My hair, perhaps? Even though I know it would be easier to take care of it if it were shorter, I really don't have the heart to cut it."
7. What is your least favorite food and why?
"I can only really have things that are easy on the stomach. I've always been quite sensitive with my food. With that in mind, anything spicy would likely be my least favorite." 9. What are any tics you might have? Any nervous habits?
"I tend to tap my fingers on things whenever I'm not doing something with my hands. That, or I will bounce my leg. I used to be far better at staying still, but nowadays, some part of me is always moving anxiously." 11. What is your earliest memory? Is it a happy or a sad one.
"My earliest memory... would have to be getting a cello for my wriggling day. It's a happy memory. But.. Ah... I haven't played in ages..." 13. If you could have any super power what would it be?
"If I could have any super power... I suppose it would have to be time travel. I'd like to go back in time and stop myself from making the biggest mistake anyone's ever made." 15. What would you do with the ability to see ghosts? Would they scare you or would you be interested in them?
"I already see ghosts. Not real ones, but... I constantly am haunted by the faces of the trolls that died because of me. Seeing true ghosts would hardly be a change for me." 17. How good a liar are you? How often do you lie to others.
"I'm a terrible liar, frankly. I really don't lie if I can avoid it." 19. How far would you go to be perfect? Are you ok with flaws?
"I don't know what perfect would mean, truth be told. Perfect means something different to everyone, so I wouldn't know how to answer this. Still, I'd like to be a person that hurts others less... To me, that would be perfect." 21. How much do you sleep? What is your typical night time routine?
"I don't sleep much these days. I find myself somewhat restless, yet I don't have the energy to find something more productive to do. I often just toss and turn until exhaustion takes me." 23. How good are you with choices? Is it easy to make decisions or do you struggle with them?
"I used to be great with making decisions. I was so certain of myself, aha... Funny, isn't it?
... No. I suppose it's not very funny. Anyways, I find decisions much harder nowadays. I often decide to not decide." 25. What is the worst thing you’ve done to someone? Do you regret it?
"... Do I even need to say? I fed hundreds of trolls to an uncaring god, because I was lied to. I regret it more than I can even say.
I... really should have known better... It's so obvious in retrospect that I was being used. I was so convinced that I was doing good, too..."
27. How good are you with computers? How much do you use them in every day life?
"Ah... computers are not my forté. I don't use them much at all." 29. If you knew you had less then a sweep left to live how would you use it?
"I don't know, really. I don't think I'd do anything special." 31. Which would you prefer you dying before your loved ones, or them dying before you?
"I feel as though it's kinder for me to bear the burden of being the last to die. That way, I need not hurt them by my early departure." 33. What are your stances on the spectrum?
"It's a vehicle for cruelty. If I could do away with it completely, I would, even at the cost of everything near and dear to me." 35. If you were empress for a day what would you do?
"I would do everything in my power to make Alternia a kinder, more safe place. It's the least I could do to make up for everything I had done previously..." 37. What do you fear loosing most? A possession, your senses, loved one, ect?
"I suppose I fear losing my kindness the most. It's really the only part of me that has any value." 39. What is your biggest dream in life and how far would you go to obtain it.
"I want to make up for what I did, in some way. I don't know how to do that, but I know that I'd go very far in order to fix things. I'd give up everything if it meant I could bring some relief to the people who I hurt." 41. Are there any people in your life you miss? What would you do if you could see them again?
"... Yes. Certainly. I miss my lusus, for one. He was the first casualty. I also miss Keirie, but I believe he is better off without me in his life. If I could see either of them again, I suppose I would just... apologize for everything I did to them. I don't know what else I could do, past that." 43. Do you consider yourself a material troll? If giving up every thing you owned meant eternal happiness would you do it?
"It's funny you ask that. When I was young, I was very material. That changed following the creation of the Children of the ETERNAL. It isn't just that I would give up everything for eternal happiness, I did give up everything, specifically to chase this particular dream.
Eternal happiness was the whole point of my religious orde-- my... cult. But no one ever achieved it."

Gal Head canon, as requested: Eddie Cannot Lie to save her life and the only person who is unaware of this is Richie because she trusts Eddie so inartistically (for she's in lesbians with her reasons)
Like Eddie could go up to Richie like: 'hey you should come to mikes barn on [Richie's Birthday]... not for like a party or anything hahaha we're gonna help her set up something hahahaha h ah aha ha ha h a' and the Losers are freaking out because she quite literally just ruined the surprise and Richie just goes 'oh okay sure! :)'
And then later she goes to Stan's crying that 'Eddie forgot my birthday :(' and Stan's just like oh my GOD you fuckin,,, you fuckinn dumbass I'm gonna kill you
(Also Richie is a really really good liar but that is exclusively because she grew up with Stan as a best friend and Stan is one of those liars who has never slipped up telling a lie once because she words it in such a specific way it's technically true)
HI I FINISHED ALL MY TESTS AND STUFF SO NOW I CAN ANSWERRR
yes you are SO RIGHT Richie is LIKE GENUINELY REALLY SMART ACADEMICALLY like that’s one of my FAVORITE hcs is like Richie actually being like top 10 in her class BUT THE POOR BITCH SIMPLY TRUSTS EDDIE SO MUCH- SHDBBF
but yeah god poor Eddie honestly it’s like a Problem especially with her mom?? like she can sneak out her window no problem but even after years of practice she CANNOT convincingly like?? tell a planned lie to Sonia?? yk?? like she can be like “no I was not at richies house” but as soon as she’s gotta come up with a PLACE she’s like oh fuck- BUT!! she has Stan and Richie who can just be like “we’re studying at the library” and Eddies like wow,,,, why didn’t I think of that,,,,
but yeah idk if that makes SENSE??? but yes Richie my beloved, I like to think she cried over the surprise AT the party and Mike is like “?? Eddie literally spoiled it?” and Richie is like “I KNOW ☹️“ it’s just,,, it’s so funny thank you for this free serotonin

Hi! I'm a big fan of your writing. Can you or are you planning to write a fic about Maria or Natasha being jealous? I need some angst in my life.
Helloooooooooooo! 
Nawwww! That’s so nice, anon!! Thank you so much! I’m soooo sorry this took a wee bit! WAs lacking inspiration, buuuut here it is now! 
You asked to see either Natasha or Maria jealous and I thought…. Why not both!? =D
It’s quite short, but I wrote it really fast cause I’m working on other stuff (sorry), but I dooooo hope you like it! It was really fun to write haha
Also, it takes place during Iron Man 2, soooo it is a Lost Moment as well but a prequel! =D
Anyways, enjoy!
P.S.: this fic starts with Natasha’s POV and alternate with Maria’s every “Xxxx”, kay? Sorry if it’s confusing!Ao3
Ff.netXxxx
“Sooo, Hill asked you to her room, eh?” Clint’s voice was loud and far too happy for her taste.
“It’s for a mission, Barton.” She stated, not bothering to look back.
“Actually, she never said that. She said, and I quote, ‘Romanoff, my room in 10, and  keep the idiot that tends to tag along away.’” He said.
Natasha smirked.
“We always knew she was ridiculously smart.”
She didn’t need to look back to know he was rolling his eyes.
“And ridiculously attractive?”
It was Natasha’s turn to be exasperated.
“I never denied that, Clint.”
“True, but you keep saying that’s all there is…”
She finally stopped to look at him, right outside Hill’s door.
“Yes, so? It is.”
He just looked at her.
“It is, Barton. I’m the Black Wi-“
“Widow, I do not do love, infatuation or crushes. I have no feeling. I am a dark knight, yadda yadda.” He cut her off, shaking his head. She narrowed her eyes at him.
“Yes.”
“Uh-huh, and yet we’re best friends, Miss I-feel-nothing! And you keep flirting with her!”
“Friendships are different, and jury’s still out on that, fyi. I flirt cause it’s fun. I wanna see how far she can take it.”
He gasped in mock outrage.
“I am hurt! Also, I’m betting marriage and two kids.”
Silence.
“What?!” She whisper-shouted.
“How far she can take it. Marriage and two kids.”
“To the Black Widow? You’re out of your mind.” She turned around and opened the door before he could say anything else. It was just harmless flirtation. Hill didn’t even acknowledge her, most of the time.
As soon as she walked inside the room, however, she stopped. A very unpleasant feeling crept along her spine, and a heaviness settled in her stomach. Right in front of her was Coulson and Hill. Less than an inch between their faces, staring deep into each other’s eyes. Coulson’s hand was on Hill’s shoulder and Maria’s on his sternum. She clenched her teeth and put on the best fake smile she had ever plastered on her face.
“Oops, so sorry! Are we interrupting something?”
It was with very little pleasure she saw the two officers spring apart, a blush rushing to Coulson’s cheeks. As her gaze locked on Maria’s, she felt her perfect spy smile diminish a notch… there was also some redness on the older agent’s cheek.
Natasha clenched her fists.
Just harmless flirtation…
Just fun.
Then why the fuck was her stomach clenching more than her fists?
Fuck Clint.
Xxxx
“I hate that bastard.”
Coulson rolled his eyes and closed the laptop that was in front of them.
“I mean, who the hell does he think he is? Just blatantly flirting with every woman that passes by him. What is wrong with him?” She started muttering, drumming her fingertips on the table. ”And what is Romanoff thinking? Actually answering to it like that?!”
Coulson laughed at that.
“Come now, Maria, she’s hardly answering in an encouraging manner. She’s being more sarcastic than anything.”
“Well, Stark keeps on going, so she’s not stopped him.” She continued, even though she knew there was absolutely no point in doing so. There was just… this unpleasantness in her stomach. She did not like it.
“It’s in her best interest to keep him thinking she might be interested, but either way, Stark is harmless in that regard, Maria.”
“There is no point of view or regard that could or would EVER make Tony Stark harmless, Phil.” She kept glaring at the laptop in front of her.
He stopped gathering the stuff around the table at that.
“Fair, but worry not. There is no way Natasha would ever look at him that way for real.”
She narrowed her eyes at him.
“What does that have to do with anything?” She asked, knowing it was futile, but trying for a confused tone, even as her fist clenched under the table.
He just stared at her.
She stared back.
Silence.
Sigh.
“She’s far too busy making goo-goo eyes at you to really notice anyone else.” He finally caved, rolling his eyes.
Maria scoffed even as her heartbeat accelerated at that.
“You’re out of your mind.”
“Maria, the other, day when we told her about her new assignment to Stark and she saw us close to each other, she almost killed me with her eyes. I was honestly quite scared for my life.” He mumbled that last part as an afterthought, but Maria chose to go with that.
“Serves you right for teasing me so much about her!”
“I was just showing how she stood with you the other day! You were that close, and don’t dare say it was nothing, otherwise she would not have been that jealous.” He quickly answered, throwing his hands in the air. Maria rolled her eyes.
“I’ll just ignore that, and say that we can’t have a handler being scared of his agent, now can we? Maybe we should give her to someone else?”
He laughed at that.
“Sure, to you maybe? It’d be fun to see the Black Widow’s impeccable record plummet ‘cause she couldn’t pay attention to any debrief by being too busy making heart eyes at her handler.”
Maria huffed at that, getting up and starting to fix some papers herself.
“Enough with the eyes this and that already. I’ll start to think you’re the one with an infatuation.”
“Huh.”
She stopped at his tone. The paper in her hands crumbling a tad. She looked at him with narrowed eyes. He looked pensive.
What.
“What?”
“She is quite attractive.” He shrugged.
“What the fuck Coulson?”
He held her gaze.
1…2…3…
He exploded in laughter.
Fuck.
“Oh my god, you should have seen your face!” He breathed out, still laughing.
She clenched the bridge of her nose, pissed at herself.
She could not believe she’d fell for that. What the hell was wrong with her.
“Oh my god, you’ve got it bad!” He said as he kept on laughing. She counted to ten. “I honestly thought it was just a harmless crush, but for you to glare at me like that! Oh my!”
… Maybe one hundred… Fury would kill her if she killed Coulson.
“Maybe I can make her even more jealous next time she’s in for a debrief! Oh, this should be fun.” He mumbled, wiping the tears in his eyes.
Or maybe she could do it and just ran away. Or make it look like an accident. She was quite the agent, after all, Fury would never find out.
“Oh, stop planning my demise! You know you can’t live without me!” He said, coming around to her side and patting her back. “Also, making Romanoff jealous might work in your favour!”
Silence.
She would not ask.
Silence.
Sigh.
“Why is that?”
“Maybe she’ll finally make a move, you’ll have dinner, bang, fall in love, get married and adopt a couple kids!” He said joyously as he walked towards the door.
She stared after him for a few stunned seconds.
“Are you high?”
“Nah, can’t. I’m on the clock.”
“Then maybe I should just ask Fury to reevaluate your mental stability.” She deadpanned, because okay… maybe she did harbor a bit of a… ahm… liking… for Romanoff’s flirting. It was… nice… and funny. The Russian woman was quite creative. And maybe she often awaited those moments. Also, she maybe did realize her glaring at Phil last meeting. But from that to ‘marriage and a couple kids’? What the hell.
“I’m pretty sure he’d agree with me!” He called over his shoulder, not even bothering to turn back.
“Well, I’ve always known he had one or two loose bolts.”
Coulson laughed at that and looked at her once more right before closing the door.
“Fair, but anyways, remember one thing, Maria.”
Against her better judgment, she nodded at him.
“Denial is not just a river in Egypt.” A wink and a closed door were done faster than the paper weight she tossed in his direction. Damn him.
She looked back at the table in front of her, which had a picture of Stark starting at Natasha’s ass as she walked away.
Maria calmly picked up the paper… then promptly crumbled it into a very tiny ball.
Maybe Phil had a point.
Fuck.
Xxxx
“Ooh, another meeting, huh?”
Natasha had to very count to ten very quickly as she made her way through the halls, Clint hot on her tail. She had no idea how they were friends.
“I called for it.”
“Hm, couldn’t keep away, huh? The assignment kept you too far apart for too long, I know. I get you, I get you.”
Worst part? He did. She hated it.
… Not.
Best friend indeed.
“Not the point of the meeting.”
“Maybe, but a bonus, for sure!” He said cheerfully as they rounded the last corner. Soon she’d be free.
He was making good points, though. Maybe he did deserve something.
She stopped and turned around, making him almost lose his balance trying to stop before hitting her.
“Fine, I’ll give you that. A very good bonus.”
“Aha!”
“But not the best part.”
“Hah, and what would that be?”
“You’re not in it.”
She smirked, opened and closed the door on his face. She was almost fast enough not to hear the small ‘liar’ that came from Clint’s voice. Even so, she was still satisfied with her last word.
As soon as she looked inside, however, her smirked died.
“What’s he doing here?” She said before she could control herself.
The three other people in the room looked at her with wide eyes at that. Fuck.
Silence.
“He is your handler, Romanoff.” Fury finally said, looking between her and Coulson.
Right.
“Right.”
Coulson had a little smirk on his lips. Why did Coulson have a smirk on his face?
Silence.
Long silence.
“Is there a problem, Romanoff?” Natasha’s heart skipped a beat.
The question came from Maria.
Swallowing both her pride and absolutely nothing, she turned to look into blue, blue eyes.
Was that… a smile on her face?
God.
She was beautiful.
“Romanoff?” She raised an eyebrow.
Right. Question. She looked back at Coulson.
“No, of course. I was just surprised.”
“Good, ‘cause after your report, we thought of a few changes.”
“Oh?”
“I’m meeting Stark. And you’re meeting me there.”
“Already?”
“It’s time. He’s become too dangerous.”
“Worried about me, Commander?” She smirked at Hill. To her surprise, the other agent mimed her.
“I worry about all my agents, Romanoff –“
“Oh?”
“And their missions.” Hill completed over her, but her smirk grew.
“Stark is the mission. You worried about him?”
Maria’s eyes narrowed at her at that, and a brief glance around showed Coulson and Fury fighting to keep laughter in. Interesting.
“Well, hard not to. Being played with by a pretty girl is quite the hardship…”
Natasha did not hear anything else said, her mind froze on one single thing.
“You think I’m pretty?”
As Maria’s smirk grew, Natasha was very proud of not blushing, even with Coulson and Fury’s barely contained laughter as she focused on Maria’s blue eyes.
“Well, I had meant Pepper, but…” She trailed off, and this time Natasha could not stop the blush.
She had been played, yes, but… That was not a no.
“The complete report, Romanoff.” Nick had apparently decided to take pity on her and she turned to the matter at hand. But before she could focus on the one-eyed director, she saw Maria.
Not Commander Hill, Deputy Director. She saw Maria Hill’s shoulders shake with silent laughter and an easy and content smile on her lips.
Natasha’s heart did funny flips and flops at that, translating into just the slightest pause on her speech to Fury, barely noticeable to anyone but herself.
Damn… Maybe Clint was right.
It was more… And she was jealous. But Maria had laughed with her, looked at her. Called her pretty (indirectly, but still…).
Fuck.
She was in deep.
Xxxx
“Where’s ‘Phil’?”
“Where’s Stark?
Silence.
Clearing throat.
“Phil is at a date I set him up on, he’s my best friend, and he needs to get over his infatuation with a mutual friend.”
“He’s hopefully on a date with Pepper if either of them took my many hints that although he’s too good for her, she loves him.”
They said at the same time, eyes snapping back to meet each other at that.
…silence.
Oh. Both Phil and Fury had been right about Stark, then. Maybe… maybe they were right about Natasha as well.
They started at each other for a long time.
Maria cleared her throat.
“Well… that, ahm… that was a very good mission, Romanoff. Congratulations.” She passed over the completed dossier.
Natasha smiled at the papers for a moment, then moved it on to her.
“Another compliment? Why, Commander, a girl could get used to that.”
Heart beating so fast it felt like it would come out of her chest at any time, Maria answered, deciding not to deny that she had indeed called Natasha pretty. She was. Beautiful in fact.
“Well… I’d love to keep them coming, Agent Romanoff.” She said, deliberately slow, as she got up and around her desk, coming face to face with the other woman.
“Oh?”
“Aye, you just have to keep excelling at the missions.”
Natasha smirked.
“Are you asking me to keep being a good girl?”
Maria was very proud of not choking at that.
“A good agent.”
Natasha hummed.
“Is that an order?
“It is, agent.”
“Aye aye, Commander.”
