its funny how people have no issue with Tubbo and BBH sometimes using an innocent persona (and then the fandom further OwOfying them) 
But when Crumb does it (in a genuine way) its suddenly a problem?
Also suspicious she gets backlash right when she starts actually interacting with the Fav White Boys more :)
If Crumb was a guy you BET people would make jokes about her being y/n and meeting all these youtubers and being oblivious and adorable and yada yada

He Will Pay
So, we’re finally there. It’s the final chapter of the story. You can treat it as a sort of epilogue. Thank you for bearing with me the whole time. And keep out, I might start posting something else soon (hopefully).
---------
Chapter 7
The double door to the throne room opened and people inside quietened. The prisoner was led down the aisle, towards the centre of the room. His hands and legs were in shackles, the chains rattling with every movement. He was flanked by two guards, each of them holding one of his shoulder.
The crowd whispered and murmured as he walked, their eyes showing anger, hate and a sense of justice. The prisoner didn’t look up but he was well aware of the stares. He smirked, not paying mind to the atmosphere in the room.
The group finally reached the centre of the room. Behind them, in the benches, sat the townspeople and nobles. In front of them, on three thrones, sat the royal family. The Captain of the Guard and the Royal Advisor both stood to their right and left respectively.
Nigel cleared his throat, before unrolling the scroll he held under his shoulder and stepping forward.
“Hubert of Saporia!” He started and the room felt silent.
“Andrew, if you don’t mind.” The prisoner interrupted. The Advisor glared at him but continued without losing a beat.
“Hubert of Saporia” He repeated, putting a stress on the name. “You stand today in front of the Royal Court, to answer for the crimes committed against the Kingdom of Corona and its citizens! Before I read out the charges, do you have anything to say?”
“Where’s the kid?” The male asked, looking around. “Figured he’d be here.”
Eugene took a few deep breaths to steady himself. He didn’t want to lash out on the man, it wouldn’t serve any good. From the corner of his eye he noticed Rapunzel tensing on her throne, her knuckles white from gripping the armrests. She, too, was fighting herself to just stand up and slap the male.
“The Royal Engineer already gave his testimony and his presence is no longer required.” Nigel replied with a steady voice.
“Shame. Wanted to see him again.” Andrew shrugged his shoulders and Eugene thought for a moment Rapunzel will blow up right there. Queen Ariana reached out her hand and gently put it on her daughter’s calming her down. The princess took a deep breath and smiled gratefully at her mother.
“If you have nothing else to say, I will proceed with stating the charges.” Nigel interrupted before the prisoner could say anything more. “Hubert of Saporia” He said, ignoring the male correcting his name again. “You are charged with threatening to overthrow the rulers of Corona, planning and staging coup d'état, planning to destroy the kingdom and its citizens, attacking and brainwashing the rulers of Corona, attacking the princess. Of most recent ones, you are charged with escaping the dungeons, kidnapping the Royal Engineer, holding against his will, threatening with death, torturing and causing multiple injuries.” The people started to whisper again, their voices agitated. “These are all the charges. How do you pledge?”
“Not guilty.” Andrew replied instantly, the ever-present smirk on his face. Townsfolk and nobles gathered in the room started shouting, calling him a liar and a threat to the kingdom.
Some people started throwing tomatoes and eggs at the male, their anger and hatred visible in their actions.
“Quiet!” Nigel’s voice echoed in the room, bouncing from the walls. People shut up at once, sitting back down. They were still angry, but no one was shouting or throwing anything anymore. “Hubert of Saporia, are you sure this is how you pledge?”
“You heard me, old man.” Came the reply and angry voices aroused again. Nigel shouted for them to quiet down, but it didn’t work the second time.
“Silence!” An authoritative voice boomed in the throne room, successfully shutting up the angered mob. King Frederic was standing up, his eyes glaring at the people before moving to the prisoner. “Hubert of Saporia, based on the testimony of witnesses and multiple proofs, including plans signed with your name, I thereby find you guilty of all the charges and sentence to the life-sentence in the Royal Mines.”
At hearing that, people started to argue again, but the King continued nevertheless.
“Tomorrow morning you will be placed on the Prison Barge and taken to the mines. Is that clear?” King Frederic looked down at the prisoner expectantly.
“Clear as a bell. Although it must have hurt your pride to not get rid of me on the spot, Your Highness.” The male smirked in response. “I always knew you didn’t have to guts.”
“Actually, your sentence was requested by the Royal Engineer, who you kidnapped, held against his will and tortured.” Nigel explained, a smirk on his face. “How does it feel to know, the one you wronged let you live?”
“He’s an idiot. That’s all to it.” Andrew hissed through clenched teeth. How dare they say it in front of everyone. He’d be a laughing stock if any other prisoner was to know he’d got away only because the kid he failed to kill decided against it.
“Or he wanted to show you he’s not like you.” A female voice said and he saw the princess standing up. “That whatever he’d done in the past, he never was and never will be like you.”
Andrew growled in response but didn’t say anything. How dare they?!
“Although the Royal Engineer didn’t want your death, let me add something, before we end.” The King said, his eyes stern. “If you in any way attempt or are found attempting to escape, you will receive a death sentence. Court dismissed.”
With that words the guards grabbed Andrew and led him away, back to the dungeons, where he was to await the morning.
~~~~~~
The sun was barely up but the port was already busy. A group moved towards one of the docks.
“Are you sure you want to do this?” Quirin looked down at his son, worry in his eyes. “You haven’t recovered yet.”
“I know, dad. But I have to... no, I need to do this” Varian shook his head as they made their way towards the Prison Barge. “I need to see him. To... make sure...”
“That he’s truly leaving?” Adira asked. The boy nodded slowly.
“It would be better if you’d just let me-” Hector started but Adira struck the back of his head.
“We’ve already discussed it, brother. If our nephew doesn’t wish for it, we won’t do it.” She stated in a voice you don’t argue with.
“I appreciate the gesture, uncle. But I am not like him.” Varian looked up at him from where he was sitting on a wheelchair.
The Royal Medic, seeing they boy was unwavering in his decision to see the barge off, ordered him to at least use the wheelchair, since he was in no condition to walk all the way himself.
“Gah, you are too soft. It’s your fault, Quirin!” Hector argued but smiled fondly, ruffling his nephew’s hair.
“Varian!” A female voice called out and they saw Rapunzel waving her hand at them. She waited until they came closer, her short brown hair moving with the soft breeze. “What are you doing here? I thought the Royal Medic said you’re not to leave the bed for at least one more week.”
“Try and hold him in one place for a week.” Quirin laughed. “And I’m not counting the lab.”
Rapunzel chuckled in response and looked at Varian. Her smile wavered and turned into a troubled frown.
“We were really worried about you. Everyone was doing their best.” She said and the boy looked down at the words. He felt bad with how people worried about him, even though this time it wasn’t entirely his fault. “I can’t even begin to think, what would happen if Eugene didn’t get to you when he did. I couldn’t lose you, Varian.”
“Thank you, Pri-Rapunzel.” The alchemist mumbled, his head staring at Ruddiger sleeping comfortably on his laps. Since he was brought back, the raccoon didn’t leave his side even for a moment. He petted his back absent-mindedly, the animal letting out a quiet purr.
Suddenly, a prison wagon appeared on the horizon, Max and Eugene leading it, two other guards, who Varian recognised as Pete and Stan, riding behind. They stopped near the group and Eugene gave a surprised frown at the alchemist.
“Get out!” Stan ordered, opening the door to the wagon and letting the prisoner step outside. He was still wearing shackles on his arms and legs, but the smirk didn’t disappear.
“Hey, I’m coming. Gee, talk about patience.” Andrew strolled slowly from inside the wagon and looked around. His eyes stopped on the group and he seemed to stare straight at Varian.
The boy cringed and shivered under the gaze, turning his head downward. Ruddiger woke up at the slight movement and noticed the Saporian, hissing in his direction from his master’s laps. Hector and Adira stepped in front of him protectively, while Quirin laid a comforting hand on his son’s shoulder.
“Heeeey, kid. How’s your shoulder?” The male called out, not paying attention to the guards telling him to shut up. “Still a little bit too bony?”
Varian trembled at the comment, the memory of the acid eating his skin still fresh. Eugene moved to push Andrew towards the barge, but someone was faster.
Hector reached the male in few large steps, his blade opening and reaching for the throat. The guards shouted in alarm, but Eugene motioned for them to stay down, wondering, what the man was doing.
“Not another word, scum. If it wasn’t for my nephew, you’d be already dead and your ashes flying somewhere with even the smallest breeze.” Hector hissed, his blade pushing against the male’s throat.
The green eyes were wide open. Although he tried to hide it, he was terrified. He still remembered how the dark-haired man and his beasts attacked him back in the hideout. He attempted to fake his emotions, but he knew the man wasn’t kidding.
“Now listen closely, scum.” Hector’s blade pushed even more, but not enough to create a cut. “You will turn around and quietly step onto that boat. Then, you will obediently get yourself locked in the cell and sit still until you reach the mines. You will stay there until you die, because if ever hear you escaped, I will hunt you down and kill you myself. Do you understand?”
Andrew nodded fiercely, not daring to test the man’s patience. He still managed to steal a glance at Varian’s form, now looking directly at the two men. A growl and a sharp slap was the only warning he got, before the man retreated his blade and grabbed his shirt, lifting him up from the ground in one swift motion.
“And you will not look at nor speak to my nephew! EVER!” Hector growled before letting go of the Saporian’s shirt and letting him fall to the ground.
The guards quickly pushed him up and turned towards the barge, leading him on the board. He didn’t dare to look back, afraid of the man’s wrath. He grit his teeth in annoyance, that someone dared to make him feel terrified.
Hector huffed and rejoined the group, hiding his blade back. He met their surprised and unhappy gazes and shrugged.
“Someone had to teach him the lesson.” He stated, not in the slightest feeling guilty.
“Although I don’t approve the method, I appreciate the gesture.” Quirin nodded with a small smile. “You scared him half to death.”
“He almost wet himself.” Hector grinned in response and they heard Varian chuckle at that.
“Probably the first time someone scared him like that.” The boy added between the chuckles.
“First time for everything. And he deserved it.” Adira nodded in approval. “I am glad you’re feeling better.”
“Not yet...” Varian mumbled and everyone’s faces saddened. It was true, traumas like that didn’t disappear that easily. “But I will be.” He added, a small smile appearing on his face.
“In time.” His father agreed as he grabbed the handles of the wheelchair and turned back towards the castle. “Now, it’s high time we get back. You’ve still didn’t recover and we only got one-hour leave for you.”
Varian groaned at the thought and slumped in the chair. Ruddiger chirruped, as if trying to cheer up the boy. Rapunzel smiled, as she and Eugene watched the group walk back to the castle. The man put his arm around her and she leaned into the embrace.
“He will be fine.” She said and he hummed in agreement. 
“He’s a tough little brat. I tell you, he’d be up and running before we even know it.” The man added as he turned his head to look at the ship disappearing behind the horizon. “And thanks to that crazy feral uncle of his, we have one problem less to worry about.”
“Hey, his name is Hector!” Rapunzel nudged his side playfully and he laughed. Yes, everything’s going to be fine.
--------
Aaaaaand, that’s it, folks. We’ve reached the end of He Will Pay. I thank you all for sticking with me. Your comments and reacts really kept me going.
I also want to say, I’ve published the story on both fanfiction.net and Ao3. You can find it there, whenever you feel like coming back and not want to search the whole tumblr to find it xD.

an accurate guide about red velvet
So since so many people are getting into Red Velvet recently, I decided to make a guide to help them out. You know, give yall some slack because learning five names is super hard. A guide accompanied by my half-assed jokes, interesting. 
PSA: If you’re only here to stan the girls because of their recent comebacks like Peek-A-Boo and Bad Boy and are going to drop them as soon as they release tracks similar to Dumb Dumb and Ice Cream Cake, leave because we don’t want you here.
Now that we got that out of the way, let’s get straight to business (TO DEFEAT THE HUNS WHY DID THEY SEND ME DAUGHTERS WHEN I ASKED FOR SONS)
Tumblr media
Basic Facts
Red Velvet is a South Korean girl group formed by SM Entertainment in 2014.
There are five members (OT4 stans can choke).
They debuted on August 1st in 2014 with a single called “Happiness”.
Fandom name is Reveluv. Since “rêve” means “dream” in French, the meaning behind the fandom name is that us, Reveluvs, make their dreams come true and Red Velvet gives us their immense love in return, thus the “luv” part. Sometimes they also call us “Luvies”.
Official fandom colour is pastel coral and not red because l o g i c
The fact that they were formed by SM Entertainment doesn’t mean they got a free ride to the top so sit your entitled asses down, thanks.
Now, you see, they weren’t actually supposed to debut in 2014. I bet you must be confused but don’t worry, it is I, your trusty homie, that is gonna help you realize how many similarities every student has with SM lmao plus the reason for their early debut.
2014 was a rough year for our buddy Lee Soo Man. Jessica left Girl’s Generation; Sulli left f(x); Kris, Tao and Luhan left EXO... This, of course, caused a goddamn World War III amongst the fans of the respective groups. They were about to go in front of the official SM building with torches and pitchforks to demand SM to step up their game. To calm the situation down, our amigo SM must have thought: “Welp I sure fucked up. How the hell do I fix this? Wait, I have an idea! Let’s debut another girl group to cover up all the shit that has been piling up for years now!” 
And your boi gone and did it. He basically debuted another group despite the number of problems he had to deal with already. This is every student ever, just make another problem to cover up the first one.
Red Velvet debuted with four members; Irene, Seulgi, Wendy and Joy. The “Happiness” music video got 2 million views in a day and was the most viewed kpop music video for the month of August in 2014. See, the queens already breaking records.
However, the original version of “Happiness” was full of controversial topics such as 9/11 being the most prominent one. This caused such hate to the girls that everyone started calling them “flops”. Lmao Red Velvet stays unbothered as the kpop act with the most Billboard charted albums bYE.
Some of you still may be wondering what the hell happened with Yeri. Well, because their debut was rushed and due to her age, Yeri, unfortunately, couldn’t debut with them. When Red Velvet debuted, Yeri was 15 years old so basically a child. 
“bUt jiSUnG fROM ncT DreAM dEBuTed wHeN hE WAs onlY FoUrteEn”
Before, there was a law which stated that kids under the age of 16 couldn’t debut.
No need to worry fellow Yeri stans! Red Velvet only released another single called “Be Natural” before Yeri was officially added. The single featured NCT’s Taeyong on it too so if you are one of those fangirls, better go and check it out because your oppar is there + it is an underrated bop.
Yeri was added to the group during Ice Cream Cake era! Of course, many people hated her, acting as if Red Velvet released so many songs and solved world hunger without Yeri. Um, bitch they had two songs take a seat.
Discography and music in general lol
IT IS GOLD!1!!!!111!!
Okay listen, every single song of theirs makes me thot-drop in the middle of the goddamn school. Jesus Christ sunbaenim is shaking.
Albums:  Ice Cream Cake, The Red, The Velvet, Russian Roulette, Rookie, The Red Summer, Perfect Velvet, The Perfect Red Velvet.
Queens of naming their albums don’t even @ me.
Listen to every single song if you want to cure your depression, clear your skin, feed your children and harvest your crops. Seriously, all of their b-sides are so amazing and such bops they are worth a listen and you, as a person who chose to stan Red Velvet, deserve to have your ears cleansed.
Another topic that I want to bring up is “the red concept” and “the velvet concept”. It is not complicated. Basically what it means is that they split their concepts into two. The red concepts are more upbeat, catchy and poppy songs such as Dumb Dumb, Rookie, Russian Roulette etc. However, the velvet concept is where they show their mature, more serious ballads. Songs that represent the velvet side are Automatic, One of These Nights, Peek-A-Boo etc.
They filmed 13 music videos so you are going to get attacked by visuals 13 times, good luck.

P.S. It doesn’t have to be Red Velvet related because I am trash that stans more groups than the number of bad jokes I made in this post.
Follow for more quality top-notch content.

Music shuffle meme!
I was tagged by @ladytharen — thank you! My phone on shuffle threw up some real favourites here! It took me a while to post though because I'm mostly on mobile these days and cutting and pasting and formatting in mobile is an arse...
I tag @jimtheviking @dolorosa @mardymaid and @donnaimmaculata if any of them would like to do this :) and indeed anyone else who wants to!
1) Sam Lee — On Yonder Hill
And now she's turned and turned again / Hi Ho Hi Ho Merrily as she trips over the plain / And may she live to run again / Singing ho, brave boys, Hi-Ho / And may she live to run again / Singing ho, brave boys, hi-ho
2) Bella Hardy — You Don't Have to Change (But You Have to Choose)
And through the telescope of time / where every strange look is a sign / doesn't mean they'll judge you either way. / He might still be the one you choose / And you don't have to cut your hair / And you don't have to change the clothes you wear / And you don't have to change...
3) Tori Amos — Virginia
In the lush Virginia hills / they kept her as long as they could / Cause they knew when the white brother found / White shell Beads wrapped around her / Skin - a life giving river - Her body open / As will his hand / With a "goodbye" there she goes / she may betray all that she loves / and even wait for their savior to come / and in some things, maybe he'll be right / but as always the thing that he loves / he will change from her sunrise to clockwise to soul trading / still she'll lay down her body / covering him all the same
4) Patrick Wolf — London
But see, I will be gone by morning / My dear friend, I lost a fight / Forget me, I wash my hands / In your grey slowing night / Coming down from darkened heights / I taste the Thames with my cycle lights / By saint Paul's, by Big Ben / By God's name I repent
5) Franz Ferdiand - You're the Reason I'm Leaving
As we ride along under an optimistic sun/ The radio sings that Everybody song by rem / And Here I Am Fighting Fighting / Yes I'm Fighting not to cry / And that's another reason / Why I oughtta hate you like I do / Like I do
6) Maximo Park — Until the Earth Would Open
I won't survive / But I intend to have a good time / I will proceed / But I won't fulfill my every need / I won't survive / But whoever does? / We could drive until the earth would open / Please take me to the verge of England's ocean / Tonight suggests so much
7) Ciccone — Look at you Now
Friday night and she takes him out dancing / It's a kind of tradition but it feels more like a habit / He cries hurry up as he drags her make-up half-done through the door up the stairs into the waiting outside / She's off dressed to impress / It smacks of desperation / There's a load on her mind coz her dreams are heavy / And he talks when he drinks and he thinks when he does
8) Les Cox (sportifs) — John E Millais
Well the other one is also a portrait of the sage of Chelsea, Thomas Carlyle / They say it was done over a three day sit, all the while he never cracked a smile / Well I heard a story from the summer of 1914, one that I couldn't believe / A suffragette went to the National with a meat cleaver up her sleeve / It was Annie Hunt swung it three times at the canvas and the glass / Poor Thomas he was blinded with his brow and cheek slashed / Covered in a hood she was accosted / But she didn't seem too distressed / It's true what they say about ladies / They look their best when they're under arrest
9) Kate Bush — Top of the City
See how that building there is nearly built / There's a big fire over on the north of the city / I see you walking down the street with her / I see your lights going on and off / She's no good for you baby / She's no good for you now / Look I'm here with the ladder / I don't know if you love me or not / But I don't think we should ever suffer / There's just one thing we can do about this / Take me up to the top of the city
10) Stan Rogers — The Flowers of Bermuda
Oh, there be flowers in Bermuda / Beauty lies on every hand / And there be laughter, ease and drink for every man / But there is no joy for me. / For when we reached the wretched Nightingale / What an awful sight was plain! / The Captain, drowned, was tangled in the mizzen-chains / Smiling bravely beneath the sea.
