[ Previous | First | Next ]

Despite the rocky start, Emory, Jaiden, and Alanna integrate with Conor and Emma as easily as breathing. By the time they are back at the hotel, far later than any of them should still be awake, they are fast friends. Conor carries Alanna, napping as a mouse, cradled in one hand as he emerges from the back seat of Lucy’s car, Emma just behind him. Emory jumps out of the front seat, singing loudly in chorus with Jaiden; Pawel wonders if they ever stopped.

Emma stops in front of Pawel and Leo, holding out her hand, palm up. “Key,” she says.

“Emory, Jaiden—grab your overnight bag. Leave the rest of your things in the trunk,” Lucy directs. She presses a button and the hatch of her blue car clicks unlocked.

“Behave,” Leo says, pressing the key card into Emma’s hands.

“Don’t run with a child in your hands!” Pawel calls out. Conor slows to a brisk walk, both hands cradled together to keep Alanna safe.

“They’ll be fine,” Lucy says as the children disappear into the hotel. “Are you sure you’re okay with having all of them here tonight?”

“It’s no problem,” Leo assures her. “The beds are big, and I don’t think any of them will have an issue with piling in together. If all else fails, I know that three of them are willing to sleep in their smaller forms. Jaiden tried to convince me they could ride back in our car, but they don’t make seatbelts for mice, so no.”

“I’ll be back in the morning, I promise.” Lucy closes the hatch that Emory left open. The back of her car is packed full with three small duffels and two large trash bags. “I’ll drive them to your place, and help you get them settled. You’ll need Alanna’s carseat, too. The other two are small, but have been insisting they’re too old for boosters. After we had a fight about it in the store, I didn’t pick up new ones for them. I’ll leave that to you.”

Leo stares at Lucy’s car, his mouth slightly open and moving. Pawel wonders if he’s counting seats in his own cars and coming up short. Pawel has a feeling that Colt and Leo will need a larger car sooner rather than later.

“Leo.” Lucy touches his arm. “I really appreciate this. I think it’s the right decision, and that the kids will fit in together, but if you can’t do it, you’ll need to let me know. Eight kids is a lot. Nevaeh is learning to drive, right? If you need to have another car available to help move this many kids around, I might be able to help you get something cheap.”

Pawel can’t stand the way Leo stands so stiffly, as if it’s all just hit him what he’s doing. Pawel edges closer, lining up their arms; he leans his shoulder against Leo’s until the air rushes out as Leo exhales.

“We’ll be fine,” Leo says, his voice tight. “Cap may be able to help me get a van from an auction. Maybe we should get them to form a sports team. Or a band. They all seem to like singing.”

Lucy chuckles softly. She grips Leo’s arm, drawing him forward until she can wrap her arms around him, hugging him until he relaxes. When Pawel just stands there, she grabs him, too, dragging him into a three-way hug. “Thank you both, and tell Colt I said thank you, too. And Pawel.” She frames his face in her hands as she pulls back. “Thank you for everything over the year. I’m glad my boys have someone to rely on. PHU was a good school a long time ago; I think it’s even better now.”

“Thanks.” Pawel’s not sure he can take credit for taking care of Rory and Thorne. He still feels like he should have protected everyone better. The last year was a chaotic mess and instead of stopping his students from getting into trouble, he ended up in the thick of it with them.

“I’ll be back with donuts for breakfast.” She draws away, waving as she goes. “Enjoy your night!”

Leo’s fingers at the base of Pawel’s spine are warm. He’s gotten used to it over the course of the afternoon and evening, as they moved from stage to stage, show to show until the finale at the main stage that ended only a half hour ago. It’s late, and Pawel resists the urge to lean into Leo’s touch and let Leo take his weight.

“I shouldn’t be this exhausted,” Pawel murmurs. “I’m an expert at surviving on little to no sleep.”

“Do it often enough and you need longer to recover each time,” Leo says sagely. “Come on. Let’s get in before they destroy the place.”

They won’t. Will they?

Pawel can hear them before they even reach the door. Five voices raised in song, shouting out the words with the creak of springs under their feet. He puts on a burst of speed to get to the door before Leo does, unlocking it and pushing it open quickly.

Five children fall onto the bed, arms and legs spread out. Eyes widen in pure innocence.

“They heard you on Mars,” Pawel says dryly. “Even these human ears. It’s almost midnight; maybe you should calm down before someone reports us for noise.”

“One more song.” Conor lies on his stomach, flipping through something on his tablet. “Here we go! Emma, you’re up!”

The sound is a little distant on the video, and cheering overwhelms the music briefly. Pawel recognizes those opening notes, from when Phoenix Rising played in the background while Thorne reached down to help Emma climb onto the stage. The cheering rises even louder; Pawel remembers her bowing as she grinned brightly.

In the present, Emma stands on the bed with her feet planted wide. Alanna clings to one ankle, looking up at her. Emma curls her hand around an imaginary microphone and swings her hair, braids flying. “Hello, Buffalo!” she calls out in time with Thorne��s words—this can’t be the first time they’ve reenacted this performance. “This is ‘September Cries’!”

The drums slow down, easing into a soulful undercurrent to the way that Rory’s guitar draws out the notes. Emory pushes their hands down so they can get to their feet, the bed wobbling beneath them. Emory leans in close to Emma, sharing the invisible mic as they both sink into the slow, sad ballad. Lying at their feet, Jaiden supplies the background chorus of “oooh” and “ahhh” at all the right moments.

Emma and Emory pass the words back and forth, taking turns between the verses until they join together at the end, singing out, “And it’ll all be over when September cries. You know I’ll still love you when September cries.” Emma holds the final note, leaning back dramatically until she cuts off.

She almost falls over when she bows, caught by Emory, who hauls her back to standing. Emma claps them on the back, laughing. “You are awesome,” Emma says.

“You, too,” Emory agrees, cheeks flushed a warm rose. “Today was fun.”

“Even if you stink.” Jaiden pushes a toe against Conor’s leg.

“Whatever,” Conor replies. He locks his tablet and slides off the bed so he can plug it in. “We’re done now, Dad.”

Leo has his phone to his ear and is turned away; Pawel can’t see his expression, but he suspects he’s smiling. “Get ready for bed,” Leo says, voice low. “Hey, Colt, yeah, we’re finally home. Want to meet the kids?”

“I’d love to.” Colt’s smiling on the small screen of the phone when Leo turns it around to show everyone. Colt lifts one hand. “Hi. I’m assuming the three I don’t know are our new kids, unless you picked up some spares while you were out.”

Alanna giggles, her thumb creeping into her mouth.

Conor points without looking. “That’s Emory—she/they. That’s Jaiden—he/him. That’s Alanna—she/her. They’re pretty cool even if Jaiden’s kind of an ass.”

“Language,” Pawel says, and Conor rolls his eyes in response.

“Whatever.” Conor falls back on the bed, tablet held above him.

Emory and Jaiden jump off the bed and come closer, peering into the phone. On the bed, Alanna lies down and is replaced by a rat, curled with her tail over her nose.

“Most of the household is asleep,” Colt says quietly. “Nevaeh’s up because she wanted to hear all about how the day went, but I had to send the rest to bed.”

“It’s late,” Emory agrees. Their hands are twisted behind them, wringing out of sight of the screen. “It was a pretty cool day. The bands were good. Emma’s got a really good voice. She sang with one of them.”

“You did?” Nevaeh’s suddenly there, pulling the phone out of Colt’s hands. “I am totally jealous, Emma! I want to go to the next festival. Can we go? Is there going to be another day that it’s near us?”

“This was the closest stop, and we’re here because Pawel invited us. Be nice to him and maybe he’ll introduce you to his rock star students,” Leo says. He tosses the sling bag at Emory, who almost fumbles catching it. “The CDs are Emma’s, but the shirts are all for Nevaeh. If you want to show her.”

As bonding techniques go, it’s not a bad idea. It’s certainly an icebreaker. Emma crawls to the edge of the bed to sit behind Emory and Jaiden, and they all talk over each other to describe the different bands to Nevaeh. Emory pulls out the signed t-shirts from Lot 42 and Phoenix Rising; Nevaeh’s squeal when she sees the signatures is piercingly loud.

Pawel moves away, rubbing at his temples. It’s late, and he’s not running on an overabundance of adrenaline anymore. His head is starting to ache, and each sound pokes at his brain. He sinks down on the edge of his bed, trying to ignore the way the kids are still going strong.

There are five kids. One might be a rat at the moment, but there are still five of them, and he can’t think they’ll all fit in one bed. Someone might need to crash with Leo.

Maybe Pawel should look and see if the bathtub seems comfortable. He could close the door and have a few minutes of peace.

Who is he even kidding? It’d only last until someone needed the bathroom to pee. The tub is really not an option for sleep.

The bed dips as Leo sits next to him. The mattress is soft enough that Leo slides into him, a hand on Pawel’s knee to steady himself.

Pawel is tired enough that he tilts towards Leo as well, eyes wanting to close but unable to do so with all the yelling.

“They are never going to sleep,” Pawel mutters. “We are going to be driving home with no sleep tomorrow.”

Leo squeezes Pawel’s knee. “I’ve been doing this a while, so I’ve got a few tricks up my sleeve. Don’t worry. We’ll be okay. We also don’t have to get on the road at the crack of dawn. It’s okay if we sleep in.”

Pawel hears the opening strains of ‘September Cries’ again; Conor has his tablet back in hand and is holding it up, showing the video to Nevaeh.

“You could just text it to her,” Colt says dryly. “Or wait until you get home to show her.”

“That is awesome. I am so fucking jealous,” Nevaeh grumbles.

“Language!” Emma and Conor chorus cheerfully.

Nevaeh’s grumble is louder. “I am pretty sure that this is one time where I can blow as many F bombs as I want without someone bitching at me.” She cuts off abruptly, the sigh heavy enough to shake the air even through the phone. “Fine. Fine. Go to bed, all you small people. It is way past your bedtime. You need to let Pawel and Papa rest.”

Conor shuts the video off and hooks his tablet up to charge again. Emma slides off the bed and offers the phone to Leo and Pawel, Colt’s face on the screen again. From the angle, it looks as if the phone is propped on the dining room table; Colt sits on one of the benches, one hand over his face.

Leo lightly touches the screen with a forefinger. “Hey,” he says softly.

Colt raises his other hand with one thumb up, as if responding to an unasked question.

Right, these two need a little privacy. Pawel can’t think they get a lot of chances for that.

He has a brief moment of insanity where he thinks that he could offer to take care of the house full of kids while Colt and Leo get a weekend away, but no. No. He’s not prepared for that at all.

Instead, he touches Leo’s back lightly. “Why don’t you walk outside and say goodnight,” Pawel offers, more of a command than a question. “I’ll wrangle these monkeys through getting ready for bed and actually getting as far as lights out.”

“Not monkeys,” Jaiden retorts.

Pawel is not going to argue semantics with shapeshifters.

Leo leans back for a moment, then pushes to his feet, his phone still cradled in one hand. “Pawel’s right,” he says firmly. “Get ready for bed. All of you. Figure out your sleeping arrangements and don’t crush Alanna along the way.” When Leo gestures, Conor carefully lifts the sleeping rat and moves her to a spot at the foot of the bed. “When we get back, lights will be out and conversations will be done. I want to hear snores and nothing else, so we can get some sleep.”

Emory jumps to their feet and claps their hands. “You heard him. Teeth brushing and bathroom breaks and pajamas now.” They lower their voice. “I’ve babysat. I can handle this.”

“No they can’t,” Jaiden says. “Emory’s a pushover.”

Emory shoves at Jaiden, and Jaiden shoves back. Pawel is about to get between them, but Leo has his wrist in a tight grip and pulls him towards the door. “They’ll sort it out,” Leo says. “I meant what I said. Get ready for bed, then lights out. You can talk for a little while, but you need to be asleep before we get back.”

“How long is that going to be?” Conor asks.

“Until we’re done talking.”

Conor snorts. “Dad can talk forever.”

“Bed,” Pawel says sharply, just in case Conor thinks he’s found a way around it. The kids might outnumber the adults now, but he’s damn well going to keep control here. As much as is possible, anyway.

“Bed,” Leo repeats, and from the phone, Colt echoes the sentiment.

The kids don’t get a chance to say anything else, as Leo pulls Pawel into the hallway and shuts the door behind them.

Leo touches his finger to his lips and stands quietly. The kids are quieter now, but Pawel can hear them moving around. Leo relaxes and says softly, “I hear the water running in the bathroom. I think they’re doing what we told them to.”

Colt’s head is still down. “Is this going to work? Are we getting in over our heads?”

Leo heads down the hall, and Pawel can’t really do anything other than follow. “I think we’ll be fine,” Leo says. “There might be some growing pains. There will definitely be a lot of chaos, but we’re used to that. I know Cap’ll give me time off if I need it, and if we really have to, we can invoke family leave. We are getting three new kids, after all. But I think we’re going to be fine. Has it been a bad weekend?”

Leo’s stride is longer than Pawel’s, and he’s far enough ahead that Pawel can no longer see Colt on the phone. But he can hear exhaustion in his voice. “Not that bad,” Colt says. “Fairly typical, really. Matt played a prank on Duke, and Duke retaliated. When Duke wanted to go out with his friends, I said no, and Duke’s been in his room sulking and refusing to let Matt game with him. Nevaeh wanted to go driving, so I took her and Jennie out for a little bit and she had a meltdown when parallel parking was hard. Nevaeh had the meltdown about parking; Jennie had a tantrum because I refused to stop at the coffee shop and get her an apple fritter. She said I should be glad because it was healthy since it had apples.”

“I’m sorry I wasn’t there,” Leo says quietly.

Pawel slows his steps, not wanting to intrude. He’d hang back entirely, but Leo reaches the door and holds it open, waiting for him.

“I miss you.”

Leo looks down at the phone. “I miss you, too. Wish you were here.”

A soft laugh. “Me too.”

Leo touches the phone to end the call before glancing at Pawel. “Are you coming or not? If you’re worried, we’re just going to go sit on the car again. The kids are going to settle down better without us there, believe it or not. Half of it is performance, vying for attention.”

“I only have one. My experience with multiples is minimal,” Pawel admits. “At least at that age. Alan—that’s Conor’s best friend, or husband, depending on when you ask him—is over a lot, but more than two seems to get complicated.”

“It does.” The door bangs shut as Leo lets it go. Leo’s hand is at Pawel’s back again, guiding him towards where they left the car in the lot. “Sometimes they compete with each other. Sometimes they gang up on us. Sometimes they try to do both at the same time. But in the end, they’re just small people, so we treat them that way. Conor and Emma are good kids, and they were fine last night. I trust Lucy, so I figure Emory and Jaiden aren’t trouble, either. Plus, they’re older, even if Jaiden doesn’t want his sibling to babysit for him. They’ll be fine.” He glances at Pawel. “You sure you’re up for hosting Emma for a while? How’s Cap going to feel about that?”

Pawel snorts. “I get the feeling Dad likes you better than me these days. He’ll be fine with it. Besides, Emma doesn’t take up much more room than Conor on his own.” He climbs up on the hood when they reach the car, scooting over so Leo can sit beside him. There’s a chill in the air; Pawel doesn’t mind when Leo stays close, a line of warmth against his shoulder and hip.

“I’m worried,” Leo admits. He leans back against the windshield, his body tilting closer to Pawel’s. “We didn’t set out to be this. We took in a pair of kids who needed someone, even though the older one was born when Colt was in middle school. Jennie calls us Dad and Papa; Nevaeh switches between that and our names. We thought about adopting them, but then we just… got more kids. I can’t say no, Pawel.”

“Of course you can’t.” That seems obvious to Pawel. These kids need someone. Who could just push them away?

“Nevaeh’s a junior in high school. I know she’s looking at PHU as an option when she goes to college, because it’s not that far away, and because it’s welcoming to everyone,” Leo says quietly. “You’ll be back there by the time she’s a student. Do me a favor and keep an eye on her?”

Keep an eye on her.

Pawel tilts his head back, looking up at the dark sky. The moon is a sliver in the sky, just past new. While the parking lot is lit, they didn’t park under one of the lights, so the darkness seems to surround them. He half expects Chelsea to step out, but she doesn’t interrupt this moment.

He’s left sitting in the awkward stew of his own failings.

“You know I’m not a perfect influence on my students, right?” Pawel says quietly. “You got that out of the story I told you about the last year. I managed to take several of them through the Dreamscape into another world entirely. Brought two kids back with us. Found my dead ex-girlfriend who wasn’t so dead after all.”

“Did you lose any of them along the way?” Leo’s elbow pokes against Pawel’s arm. “You said you helped one out with anger management and Clan politics, which can’t be easy in a traditional Clan community. You obviously get along well enough with your rock stars, and their mother trusts you. Chelsea said there were some who cared enough about you to try to care for you, too. You sound human, Pawel, and you sound like you treat your students as if they’re human. That’s all we can do.”

“Would you think less of me if I said I think one of my students might be my best friend?” Pawel asks quietly. “She’s not a kid. She came in on a GI bill, and she’s about four years younger than me.”

“Best friend, or…?” The question lingers in Leo’s voice, hanging between them.

Pawel snorts, shaking his head. “God, no. Mac’s a friend. A good friend. She kicks my ass when I need it—sometimes literally. She coaches our taekwondo club. But I don’t think of her like that, and I’m damn sure she doesn’t want me to. She’s been to hell and back, before I ever knew her. GI bill, remember?”

“Mm.” Leo slides down on the hood of the car and Pawel goes with him, until they’re both lying down, staring up at the sky. They have to bend their knees to stay on the hood, and the windshield is a terrible pillow, but Pawel’s not moving after that.

It feels good. Weird, but good.

“You shouldn’t cut yourself off from your past,” Leo says quietly. “It almost sounds like you’re afraid to be friends with people, Pawel, if you think people are going to judge you.”

“She’s my student.”

“Are you in a position of power over her?” Leo counters. When Pawel shakes his head, Leo continues, “Then be friends with her. That’s fine. You’re not holding anything over her head, and she’s not holding anything over yours. You’re just two adults. And remember: you didn’t lose any of your kids last year. You seem to think like it was your fault, but it sounds like when they needed help, you stepped in and helped without judgement. You acted like an adult, Pawel.”

It doesn’t entirely change the fact that Pawel can still think of a half-dozen places where he probably mis-stepped, or should have made another decision, but it helps.

“When you go back, try to remember that you can stay friends with the people from your past, too,” Leo says. “Just because things didn’t work out—”

“We broke up because you left,” Pawel points out, cutting him off. “Colt and I broke up because we both left.”

“And strangely enough, we all came back.” Leo reaches out, hand brushing over Pawel’s where he holds them clasped against his chest. “We can still be friends, too.”

Pawel doesn’t move. 

Leo pulls away, the ghost of his touch lingering on Pawel’s skin. “Besides,” Leo adds, his tone sounding purposefully light. “It’s not like Emma and Conor are going to lose touch, right?”

“Right. Guess we’ll have to figure out some kind of visitation for them. I think Conor wants Emma to meet Alan in person someday.” Which reminds Pawel. “I’m going to look for Emma’s parents. Like the kids asked me to.”

He can hear the smile in Leo’s words. “See. You have to step right in and help. Try to remember that there are people who’ll help you, too, Pawel.”

It’s all a good thought, and Pawel does store it away. But the thing is, he doesn’t need help right now. Friends, sure, he can use more of those. And he did miss Leo. And Colt. Not that he’s going to tell them that. But he’s fine. He’s relaxing. He’s enjoying his summer. He’s trying to rest.

And he’s doing what he does best and looking into something strange about Talent.

He’s not the one who needs help.

10 + 10

Tag Game - Answer their 10 questions and then think of 10 questions to ask other Tumblr friends!

(Just for fun—don’t feel like you have to!)

Tagged by: @drsunshaine​ (thanks for tagging me! I’m finally gonna do this for fun since I’m done with work for the week lol)

Tagging:  @samarium88 / @carelesscrush / @raspassassin17 / @niwayaoi / @audriel89 / @2-funkypeanuts / @bkakfanclub / @kiddiegore / @peachysweetles45 / @goldenandyou

(I know some of you that I tagged have already done this, so I’m sorry! But I don’t have that many friends who I’ve chatted with more than a few times on here yet! lol)

1. Are you okay today? Did you rest well? Did you eat? Did you drink lots of water? I’m all right... it was a decent day at work, which is rare these days. I did drink a lot of water, but I did NOT eat very well or get enough sleep. Which is probably why I’m so lethargic right now.

2. What are reoccurring dreams that you have? If not reoccurring, what is the most memorable dream you’ve had instead? I have more reoccurring nightmares than good dreams, to be honest. I think my most memorable positive dream (at least recently) was one where I was in some kind of action-adventure setting? Like, I could actually run fast and was kinda a badass... aka the opposite of real me lol

3. Which kind of weather do you prefer? Warm/hot/sunny or rainy/cold? And why? I definitely prefer cooler weather. I DO NOT thrive in heat. I’ve gotten heatstroke a few times in my life. :/

4. Are you the type to enjoy things as they are? Or the type to analyze and appreciate things in an objective perspective? Or both? I think it depends on what the “thing” is. For instance, films: I love being able to enjoy a fun movie just for the fun of it, but sometimes I love getting into the complex details and theorize, especially when It comes to characters.

5. What is your favorite song genre? And what is your favorite song from that said genre? And why? I’m a huge music buff. I don’t think I could choose one genre. My favorite song range from orchestral scores to hip hop tracks, so... yeah, I can’t choose. 

6. What is your definition of success? Is it doing the work you love? Happiness? Buying anything you want? Traveling? Happiness. Definitely happiness. Because no matter what we do for a living, what we have or where we are... the one thing we’re all chasing is happiness. I haven’t found it quite yet myself. 

7. Who is a character that you relate to right now and why? Right now? Pam Beesley from The Office... but like, in the first few seasons. I honestly think I chose this character because of my situation at work. But honestly it’s so spot on right now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3p0JMTYZT8

8. Who is a character that have greatly influenced your personality/life throughout the years? And why? I don’t know about my personality, but my sense of humor has definitely been influenced. Sokka and Toph from ATLA are definitely how I learned sarcasm.

9. What is a sport you’d like to try out? (If you’re already playing a sport, then what other sport do you want to try out?) I’d like to try out rock climbing. I’ve done it like, twice and it was fun but I was a bit too timid to go further with it. Maybe someday?

10. How do you overcome stress? Or when everything feels overwhelming? (This is a reminder for you to hang in there. That you can do it! Good job for today!) Unfortunately I usually deal with stress in the wrong ways... being lazy, eating too much. Gonna have to fix that one of these days.

MY QUESTIONS:

1. If you could choose to live anywhere else in the world, where would you live?

Tag Game - Answer their 10 questions and then think of 10 questions to ask other friends!

Tagged by: @kiribaku-is-endgayme ( thank you so much for this! This was a good break for me after overwhelming work, pft. )

Tagging: @ninnieartsies / @mistermrbee / @bokuakasalways / @peachysweetles45 / @mari-writes / @bkakfanclub / @niwayaoi / @bokutoko / @stephen-is-strange 

1. Do you believe in soulmates?

Considering that me and my best friend believe that and even refer to each other as such-- since we feel like we were made for each other and all, then yes. I do believe that.

2. What’s your favorite genre of movies, T.V. shows, and anime?

Psychological thriller or horror. Smart comedies. Satires of tropes or commentaries to society. Anything that’s smart and relevant even years later. 

But for examples of “smart” comedies, look no further than The Cornetto Trilogy by one of my favorite directors, Edgar Wright. Also Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. 

Psychological thrillers that you make you think, I’d go either The Shining or A Clockwork Orange directed by Stanley Kubrick (these are rated-R films with unpleasant/triggering content so these are not for minors!).

Satires of tropes, I’d refer to the Cornetto Trilogy again. Also Joker. Self-aware without being too-self aware.

For anime, I’d go for xxxHolic because I love the supernatural/horror elements to it.

3. Are you optimistic or pessimistic?

4 years ago, I’d consider myself an optimist. These days, I’m a balance of the two. In any spectrum, I’m almost always neutral. I like seeing things from both perspectives AND having my opinion based on both.

4. Is there a movie you can watch over, and over again and not get tired of?

I watched Joker three times in the cinema (that’s a first). And there’s also xxxHolic’s anime movie which is called A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

5. If you could live in any other country than you own, what would it be?

Somewhere in Europe, maybe? It’d be nice to discover, learn and appreciate a culture that’s from the opposite side of the world. I think values here in Asia are closely linked, so I’d rather experience something entirely new! (And also have that Euro.vision experience ajshdkasd)

6. If you could switch two fictional characters to each others’ universe, who would they be and why?

Hmm, this is a good question actually. Maybe for puns’ sake, Akashi from Kuroko no Basket and Akaashi from HQ. PFFT. 

And ohh! I just thought of this, but maybe Leonardo Watch from Kekkai Sensen and Tanjiro from KNY. They’d retain their powers in the swapped universes.

I thought of it coz they both have sisters they wish to protect. They both have experienced losses. But I’d like for Tanjiro to feel what it’d be like to have a second fam in Libra. 

And ofc see Leonardo’s growth experiencing tremendous loss since he only has his all-seeing eyes to rely on. How would he look at life in order to move forward? HEHE.

7. Do you believe in aliens or some other life form outside of Earth?

Yes! We can’t not live alone in this infinite universe. One star alone has its own solar system. So imagine all the stars across the universe... Damn. 

8. What mythical creature do you wish actually existed?

Hmmmm~~ For some creatures, there are some scary contexts behind them. Like mermaids sinking ships and such jshkads. I’d just go for something cute and maybe a unicorn?

9. What’s the most pleasant sounding accent to you?

I love the Kansai and Osakan dialects hahaha~ Lovely Complex is the best showcase of it. (Also a recommended anime to watch 1111/10 will make you laugh and cry. If you haven’t watched it, then do it!)

10. Do collect anything like, figures, posters, or funko pops?

Well, I used to collect CDs from a certain genre (k.pop). I only own two nendos so far (bokuaka). But my consistent collection is my lucky items that I buy every Chinese New Year to bless me with lots of money (inspired my (1) Midorima Shintarou from KNB). And hey, it works! c:

MY QUESTIONS:

1. Are you okay today? Did you rest well? Did you eat? Did you drink lots of water?

2. What are reoccurring dreams that you have? If not reoccurring, what is the most memorable dream you’ve had instead?

3. Which kind of weather do you prefer? Warm/hot/sunny or rainy/cold? And why?

4. Are you the type to enjoy things as they are? Or the type to analyze and appreciate things in an objective perspective? Or both?

5. What is your favorite song genre? And what is your favorite song from that said genre? And why?

6. What is your definition of success? Is it doing the work you love? Happiness? Buying anything you want? Traveling?

7. Who is a character that you relate to right now and why?

8. Who is a character that have greatly influenced your personality/life throughout the years? And why?

9. What is a sport you’d like to try out? (If you’re already playing a sport, then what other sport do you want to try out?)

10. How do you overcome stress? Or when everything feels overwhelming? (This is a reminder for you to hang in there. That you can do it! Good job for today!)

Took me a while, but I was 10Tagged by @scaryxmonsters

Rules: We’re snooping on your playlist. Set your entire music library on shuffle and report the first 10 tracks that pop up! Then choose 10 additional friends.

1. All I Ever Wanted - Basshunter

2. Master of Tides - Lindsey Stirling

3. Faithfully - Glee Cast

4. All You Need is Love - The Beatles

5. I’m Not That Girl - Idina Menzel

6. Dance, Dance - Fall Out Boy

7. Bang The Doldrums - Fall Out Boy

8. Anvil Chorus - Glenn Miller

9. Alejate - Josh Groban

10. Cry Baby Cry - The Beatles

Okay, that seems to be a somewhat decent representation of my music library, though some of these songs I haven’t listened to in a while. There’s also a lot more that isn’t represented here, but with only 10 songs, I suppose you won’t get all that much.

Now I have to tag 10 more people!? I don’t know that many people on here well enough... Well, let’s go with @typical-trope, @tallfreak94, @todashdarkness, and anyone else I may have forgotten/wants to join in.
