WAIT I SENT THE ASK TOO EARLYA AUWHAUDHDEKDVW

how is the original bone skeleton man doing?? OH OH AND is the setting the usual portal opening in the house and bam you've got new uncles or something else??? YAIOEPEPWLWKWPWBAOAV

buckle up, cuz this is super long yall 🥲

OKAY!!! THIS IS WHERE MY "INTERESTING" PART COMES IN 😁 monsters are just coming to the surface, and speciesism is as high as ever. after a year of this, queen toriel decides to open a human-monster program, something that also promotes her small school.

monsters adopt humans! ebbot was a bit iffy on it, but after realizing the benefits the mayor eventually agreed. (jk that nigga only wants the money 💀-) It was hard to get the program started, because many schools and orphanages werent as trusting, and the state wasn't fundinh it at all. So Toriel took a different approach.

Many monsters put their savings into it, considering their currency is literal fucking gold, and the program would allow each child to get $1000+ per month, depending on their age and needs. and yes giving kids thousands of dollars per year doesn't sound like a good idea, but shhhhh! the plot my dear!

The monsters who take care of them aren't allowed to use it themselves in selfish situations. Both the child and the guardian has rules.

one) you guys have to interact in some way. whether it be verbally, or even physically. two) NOTHING 18+, as all children being minors, that would be kinda weird. three) follow laws as follows- just dont be a shitty parent. four) the child has to want to participate as well, and cant do anything to hurt the guardian. including verbally (bc monster souls are made of feelings pretty much [thats another hc for another day])

id love to go deeper into the details, yet i however cannot bc i dont know how a parent-child program works.

and you have to be in the program for 1 month before you or the child wants to back out.

doesn't matter if its one-sided or not, when someone doesn't like it it immediately stops. id like to say that frisk and papyrus put most if their money into this, just so she can be adopted by toriel.

so when papyrus sees that gaster and sans have been stuck in the lab (not the basement!) for globs of hours at a time, sporadic sleeping, and overall exhaustion from work, he says the craziest shit

"SINCE YOU TWO ARE NERD BUMS, AND I CAN'T ALWAYS BE AT HOME FOR YOU TWO, I ADOPTED A HUMAN CHILD!!"

sans, in his sleep deprived state, promptly rose an eyebrow and fell out of his chair onto his side.

yea, its not that he didn't take the thing well, bro couldn't process it 💀💀

gaster just rolled his only visible eyelight and went back to work

....

well that worked well!!

reader arrived to the house the next day, and seeing that it was a two story house!?!?

AND there was an in-law suite? fuck yea! orphan kid made the jackpot 💥💥😼

they had fuckin steps too les goo!!

Your dark skin shined against the light of the sun, your brown eyes sparkling in excitement.

reader let go of papyrus's hand and ran inside immediately.

Careful as to not smudge your dirty shoes against the shiney floor, you looked around the house in amazement. This place had to have atleast 5 rooms!

and then the in law suite on the side looked like another 2 rooms!?? BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE!!

Not only did you have super nice guardians (you hoped), they were packed enough to keep you and themselves stabilized!! Hell, if theirs more people, they could support them aswell!!

Taking off your shoes, you looked around the living room. The long couch was green, albiet a bit patchy for a nice place, while the tan side couches could lean back!!

where those outlets on the sides? omg

"HAVING FUN DEAR HUMAN CHILD?" Papyrus smirked. He knew that the house of the Great Papyrus was enough to impress anyone, even of young ages.

"You guys are so rich!! wow- i mean, not that im tryna take your money or anything, but like- WOW!! Its so big!! Bigger than anything ive ever been to!" You were now flapping your hands and bouncing a bit. Your locs of hair bounced in it's pony tail no matter how small the fidget-hop was.

Behind the living room was a beautiful and lavish kitchen, and to the right there was the steps. To the right it looked like some like of master bedroom or guest bathroom.

But you didn't care about rooms right now, you wanted to see your other guardians!!

"Where are the other people im supposed to be meeting? Are you my only guardian or do they have to take care of me too? Are they mean? Are they bums? I hope they dont smoke or something, Do they have an addiction? What about-"

"THAT!, DEAR CHILD, IS GOING TO BE FOR INTRODUCTIONS!! DO NOT WORRY, WHILE THOSE TWO MAY BE GRUMPS, THEY ARE PLEASANT PEOPLE TO BE AROUND...EVEN IF THE LACK OF SLEEP TAKES THEIR PLEASANT PERSONALITY AWAY..." Papyrus concluded. You noticed that, despite the way he tried to talk to himself, you still heard it loud and clearly.

Maybe he had a hard time with volume control. meh.

Grabbing your hand and leading you towards the back door next to the kitchen, Papyrus opened the door. He had to lean down a bit in order to hold your hand, but he didn't mind.

The hallway was looooong. Instead of it being regular walls, it was glass windows of different colors. Which made you raise an eyebrow abit.

Seeing your reaction, the tall skeleton explained, "SINCE WE DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH SPACE FOR EXPERIMENTAL ACTIVITY, TOTALLY NOT BOMBS, MY BROTHER AND FATHER DECIDED TO LIVE IN THE SUITE!" He said, walking and talking.

You both reached the end of the hallway, hearing mumblings, ramblings, and overall terms that lowkey hurt your brain.

Getting too excited, you open the door to a glass-based lab. With the occasional plastic and metal equipment.

In the middle of the room there was an island counter filled was rainbow colored stuff ('gay as hell' , you sniggered), small green candies, and lots and lots if paper and pencils sharpened to the ends.

At one end of the room, there was a tall skeleton, a little shorter than Papyrus, who was more goop than skeleton. Infact, he looked like someone took a fire torch to his upper body, but you didn't say anything.

At the other end, there was a short skeleton, probably shorter than you (hah, being 5'0 did pay off), laying with his head on the desk, knocked out with blue slob. You marveled at the sight, wanting to know more about monsters at this revelation.

"FATHER! BROTHER! THIS IS THE CHILD I ADOPTED FOR ALL OF US!" Papyrus announced, grinning undauntedly. The smaller skeleton banged his head on the desk at the loud voice, while the other one barely flinched and turned slowly in irritation. "INTRODUCE YOURSELVES WHILE I MAKE LUNCH FOR THE GROWING FETUS!" He declared, marching out with a big smile.

If this plan went correctly, then his favorite family members would be mentally stable (as much as one could try- he thought to himself).

after banging his head on the damned table, sans sat up a bit disoriented.

why was there a human child in the house?

why was it in the lab?

"uhh kid, ur not supposed be here...uhh, its not safe and uh, you could die."

"WOW! Your so freakin cool! How do you talk without moving your face? Are you wearing a mask? I could die here! ooh shiney stuff, can i touch it?"

yea.. this kid has not had a proper friend in a minute

he was overwhelmed by the questions you asked at first, he didn't answer them at all in favor of watching gaster struggle to calm you down.

sans didn't mind how loud you were, it was moreso the curiosity that you brought along with you.

that wouldn't do.

"Hey! What's this?" the kid asked, walking towards the machine that could very much possibly cause the heat death of the universe, before getting snatched up by gaster.

"Enough! you are here to introduce yourself, and you will do as such" It was funny to see the man twitch like that. sans likes this kid already.

After knowing your name and age, sans was a bit surprised.

he honestly thought you were younger.

while introducing himself he tried to keep it simple and short. how old is he?

"how old am i old man?"

His blue slippers shifted from the movement of his ankle bones.

he thought you were just an average kid, but something about you was different.

oddly enough you always wore these earrings saying Y on the right and N on the left.

he wonder what it meant

Now its a week past since you came into the 'haunted house', aka the skele-dungeon

you two play pranks against gaster when he has free time. watching him bounce his leg in irritation every time he finds a lima bean in his notes is pure gold.

since you're virtual, due to your choice, he tries to take you places.

some of the most consistent ones are dance class every saturday and neighborhood walks you take by yourself.

I think of sans is the type of person to give less of a shit about his dad.

mostly because if the way he approaches things, iN tHE NaME oF sCIeNcE

it pisses him off everytime he tries to ask you for a blood sample

and it makes him even angrier when you say yes without a second thought.

but despite that, he cares about gaster.

but he wants to choke him out being his first son.

Despite being constantly sleep deprived, he makes time for this little new joy in his life.

Back then he's sleep at his desk, especially when his magic reserves were too low to shortcut.

But now, and you thought he didn't notice, you carry him to the living room of the main house and turn the tv volume down to 9 when you cant fall asleep.

another thing you both have in common

More often than not, you both find each other at the odd hours if the night.

since he can barely cook shit, it's mostly you making the midnight snacks

he appreciates the food you make for him, despite him initially coming to get a 10 1/2 ounce bag of chips

other times you guys will sit in the living room in silence

occasionally he'll find himself rambling to you about physics, specifically quantum, so he can keep his memory up.

sans likes the way you treat his brother.

as an uncle and not a childish cousin.

You may not be able to keep up with Papyrus's schedules and puzzles

but when you can, you two shine this wholesome light on the whole house that makes sans's soul ache lovingly.

Papyrus likes to take you out for walks more than him, or you'll both hang out in the backyard next to the glass hallway of the suite.

on his breaks, he'll find you two doing silly things

like rolling in the grass

or trying to carry each other.

without being able to admit it, sans and papyrus feel a new joy in their life.

and they got a cool kid to come with it :)

Gaster and sans were in the lab when his father said the most dumbest shit his nonexistent ears could ever listen to

gaster was never fully succumbed into the void, as sans had saved him before anything totally horrible happened.

hence his melted face and arms.

but he saw something, or rather somethings, that his meticulous little nerd brain has been hyperfiaxting on since the child came.

"Let's discover new universes!"

sans was just like 'naw, jit crazy'

so gaster fucks around with the machine for a while in secret while sans is frolicking with his newly adopted child.

ew, children.

but he guesses that she's okay, despite her adamant queries (hehe).

and soon enough, the machine made that man find out after he fucked around

Now that the machine stopped pouring in different variants of his children, this only made gaster more excited to use the machine.

sans on the other hand was fuckin freaking out.

the damn geezer did it

but not only that, there are aggressive ass versions of him who are willing to kill a child and that wont go.

sans is not gonna give on the things that bring him joy that easy.

*insert battle sequence*

ok so he got his ass whooped, no biggie.

and now his adopted child is befriending them. great.

annnddd now his brother is taking care of them. even better.

AANNNDD now his father is too interested in them to try and find a way to send them back. AMAZING!

bro wants to jump off a roof at this point

to be honest, he doesn't like the other versions of himself.

Theyre different possibilities of what could've happened currently and he already thinks about that enough.

but, reader likes them, so he gives them a pass.

but if they hurt her...or even worse, his brother...

he wont need the machine to figure out a way to take them out of this world.

KITTY!! THANK U SM!!! ✨❤️✨❤️✨🫣❤️🫣❤️ EKKK!! YOU GUYS BRING ME SUCH JOY 😋😋😋 YAYAYAYAYYAYAYAYAYAYATATATTATATATTATATATATATTATATATTATATATATTATATATA IM SO HAPPY!! YHSHABDGSIWKSBHSUWBWHAISNEGEYGSBAOWOAMQNWHUDBRYDUBJQIBSGATUWOWUEHRBXKMXBSYSJBSBZ-

i know the reader sounds super excited rn, which is sorta unexpected for an orphan centered fic, in the official thing you're gonna see a less than..nice attitude from them.

btw i wanna make a house plan to this can make more sense for your guys. ohhhhhhhh- IM TOO DAMN EXCITED 😋😋💕 i prolly gotta learn skeleton anatomy too-

@kittykittyanon @radicallxser @oleander-nin @towomatos @thealphagirl @ziipzeepzop-eez @amorvincitomnia-14 @spongejuice @cyb3r-st4r. if you would like to be added, check my blog. if you would like to be added, check my blog. SEE? I SAID IT TWICE!!

SPLATOON MAINS. wait what

yeah this is just cuz ive been getting my ass beat in turf war lately. "but didn't you say most of them kinda don't give a shit about video games" hush. listen to my splat facts boy

lupin: using a finnicky, mostly just for aesthetics gun -> using a finnicky, mostly just for aesthetics splatoon weapon. he tried so hard to master the tri-stringer. AND ONLY PARTIALLY FOR THE JOKE OF IT!! ended up with the dualie squelchers. dual wield baby. and he likes the color. he gets to be a LITTLE superficial here

jigen: made fun of people for using snipers in a baby game and then got that violent, evil rush of adrenaline sitting on top of the center of wahoo world and changed his tune a little. offended by the implication he’d need a zoom scope in, again, a baby game. now the goo tuber may look doofy as hell but its jigen so. watch out. he’s like built for this. uses the missiles with a downright evil vengence

fujiko: fast fire rate means big coverage and easy kills. aerospray rg. gotta have it in gold of course! besides, she works better getting much closer to the target in question, so the lack of range hardly hinders her like at all. this was like the easiest ever out of all of these i knew this one first!! she knows the stereotypes of aerospray users sucking! she does not give a shit! you can cry about her taking the ‘easy way out’ all you want she’s still getting that #1 overall splatter medal every damn time !

goemon: it’s too easy to say splatana. it’s too easy. no i'm. its too easy sorry no. in fact i don’t even want to imagine the shouting at the tv that would transpire when he sees that those things literally just go up and down. he loves his diagonal swipes. so let’s go with rollers. goemon (ironically, since he has the highest body count i'm sure) focuses more on paint coverage than actual splatting so. yeah. let’s say big swig just cuz its funny to imagine him running around with that big ass thing

zenigata: just kind of bashes buttons without a full strategy, so brush. any of them. this was also very very easy to determine! the important part is the aggressive swiping over and over and over again. long past the point of death. let’s just say the standard inkbrush, he got used to it quickly and the giant speakers of death fucking rock. you KNOW he loves that shit!!!

BONUS YATA!!!: slowly learning when to fold ‘em. brella. actually the sorella brella yknow with the tent that launches out? oh he LOVES that its having a whole wave push people down. and as we know just seeing the shit he puts up with he MUST have the patience of a saint, so he’s fine with the cooldown

#i didn't even actually help with the splatfest i wrote half of this a few days before it #went into the shop to test more weapons. finished it. and haven't touched the game since. oops!#lupin iii #lupin the third #lupin #jigen #fujiko #goemon #zenigata #yata

Hello!! I was curious if you had any headcannons or thoughts on how Sanitization works or how it affects whomever it hosts? Just curious, as it's such an interesting concept to me.

Honestly not really, it's a mega niche thing in the overall scale of splatoon - just like fuzzy ooze, at least at this point, 99,9% of people in Inkadia never have to even think about either of those nor probably know about them.

Based on the canon stuff which I've kinda half-focused on when i've seen stuff about it, it at least seems to be something that is induced over time through some kind of solution (the IV drips) and doesn't really spread over just the ink. Sanitization seems to be some kind of zombification pretty much, purging of free will and emotion. Of course in the game it's literally zombification given that the sanitized Octolings seem to be dead, physically (lack of heartbeat usually means you're dead), and it seems to cause physical effects like blackening of the sclera and cold-color pigments pushing out, or the warm pigments dying out, either way

Which actually now that i'm thinking about the whole thing it's made me wonder whether it's just a child-friendly way to imply that we're literally looking at dead and rotting octolings and octarians. (Octopus blood-colored with black sclerae and green skin.) But anyway

I don't really remember if there's been any type of detail on what sanitization actually does and why, as in if the goo itself wipes your consciousness pretty much and is thus inducing like, a condition. OR if the entirety of the sanitization goo is a type of mind control, which would make the sanitized organisms a type of host for a parasitic thing that just reanimates their lifeless bodies into an extension of its own (i mean, Tartar kind of does this, but it's not really elaborated on whether that's the whole thing with sanitization or if that's completely different and separate and has no significance and I wouldn't doubt that because this is splatoon). The first option seems more likely but seems kind of physically impossible given that they're implied to be dead, while the second option makes a lot of sense in the context that the sanitized Octarians ARE dead and would be moved by something else, but is more of a wild theory.

anyway I don't recall there being a whole lot of reason given for the whole thing and there's some plot holes as usual, so that's the extent of my thoughts for now

#mailbox #thanks for the ask! i really didnt like OE when it first came out #mostly because of this thing that seems extremely important and wasnt elaborated on at all just like everything else in splatoon #i DONT remember if theres much more information on sanitization nor have i really ever cared #but if someone remembers key things from interviews that would be cool

OKAY VOCACOLLE SUMMER TOP 15 SONGS (my ranking) LETS GOO

1. Kannagi - Hiiragi Magnetite: the lyrics on this are going to keep me occupied for the longest time until i understand it better. the atmosphere of this song is just incredible, the addition of the bells in her hand in the song, the light chime-y parts of the the instrumental, the piano, the longer notes, u dont need to know the lyrics to know theres a sense of regret in here. theres enough in the chimes u can feel the inner reflection in this, & like other series songs it hits that standing at the end of world in the rain feeling. its paced so perfectly it doesnt even feel like 6 minutes. series wise i think thats not only a call back to kyuuyaku but like shoushitsu & kyuuyaku it shows off that loop theme, getting into whats going on building it up, theres a bit of calm and then it picks up again. lots of story telling & details in it to add to the narrative. haru fits it so perfectly & that's definitely by design. this song has already embedded itself in my heart

2. Stockholm Office - Crump: if kannagi wasnt posted this would take first place EASILY IMMEDIATELY. i cant say in words how much i loved this so instantly. the light whispery-ness of kafu & the spacey-ness of certain instruments and parts combined with the heavy groundedness of the rest of it is so so perfect. the poetic way the lyrics show off the state of things in this song without being super blunt about the complaints in it & the overall rhythm of it draws me in so so much. they really matched the mood of the instrumentals & the lyrics so perfectly. its not spacey enough for me to say true dissociation type feel but theres such a strong feeling of disconnection in this, that feeling of lying to urself to stick something out which im sure is entirely intended given the title. im about to become the number one promoter of this song its one of those found it at the perfect timing things for me.

3. Candy Drop - yurame: this has the usual yurame song feel. i can only describe it as sounding how carbonation in drinks feels. its trendy sounding but at the same time is all its own thing and authentic feeling. the lyrics are written in a way its like ah yeah i get that feeling. despite the lightness of the instrumental its good at getting that melancholic feel across & isnt jarring in the slightest. flower has that mix of rough & cute to suit this as well. very good song.

4. Quiet - szri: szri's usual quick & heavy pacing definitely building off what they did in anaphylaxis. even includes the smallest part of it & u know i love songs that connect to each other. gekiyaku & kafu are such a good combination too especially how they pull it off. not a very light song in terms of content but fun nonetheless & isnt that what vocaloids about.

5. Euthanasia - Dopam!ne: a lighter/simpler song in terms of instrumentals that he does. nice change & still very distinctly his style. definitely not a light song in terms of content the guy even put a content disclaimer at the end. still easy to listen to if u like his style tho. good song

6. Waste - mairu: this ones probably about as heavy as szri's quiet musically speaking though theres a few calmer sections. flower's roughness fits the topic well i think. another one where the mood of every part of the song just seems to align well. i dont have anything profound to say i just think its neat

7. OSINT - Sheeno Mirin: i love the atmosphere in sheeno mirin songs a lot & this one doesnt disappoint. interesting vocal combination choice not that they overlap in any part & they work well with what they were going for. theres something brain scratching (in a good way) about the instrumental, a full sound thats got a weight to it but isnt too much. its really good idk what else to say

8. groom groove - yowanecity: i feel like its been forever since ive seen anything from yowanecity i really should follow them anyway i got really excited to see they posted & this didn't disappoint. its got that bounciness i expect from their songs. fun & smooth sounding. makes u want to dance. definitely worth your time.

9. Capsule - Fuyuu: cat rime & sekai thats so fun i love that and then the gachpon theme on top of it so fun. the sound is not what you'd expect from that description tho. it has a darker feel to it almost grungy i want to say but definitely not off putting. as part of the rime lover nation i love this song. this is going to end up stuck in my head all the time just like crow crow does. very good & both sekai & rime sound like they belong in this song 👍

10. Gambit - Yunosuke: another trendy, almost bubbly sounding song from yunosuke. pretty atmosphere to it. love the whistles & traditional sound instruments mixed in with the otherwise modern electric type sound its got going on. this would be fun to sing if i take the time to learn the lyrics. super good very worth your time

11. Rain - Gomennasai ga ienakute: the usual simple sounding style they have, deceivingly simple sounding bc its very clearly not. the tension building part right before the 3 min mark hits me in particular. very cool rin high notes at the end. very nice melancholic mood to it. maybe i should rank this higher its growing on me the more i listen to it. their lyric sense is very good. compels me. definitely give this a listen.

12. Static Love - Hagino: kafu rap nation rise up. its got that chiptune sound at first that gradually gives into a more modern edm sound. a good mix of cute, cool, and fun sounding. underrated the mixing & execution of this is too good to only have a few hundred views & yet here we are. worth your time

13. Prototype - Aira: THIS SONG GOES SO HARD!! coko chisei is such a good combo too. interesting theme going on here but the melody & such is just very good. the lalala parts make it seem a little lighter than it actually is. love the slightly wavering slightly squeaky sound on both vocals. lends a certain charm to this song.

14. Lewder Liar - Zensen: another great electro swing song from zensen. very fun fresh sounding instrumentals & flower's in no way out of place here. good mix. kind of an interesting theme going on here what with the demon stuff etc.

15. Death Game - Uron Riyu: this one is so fun to me. kafu running a death game. posting this as a vocacolle song feels like its framing vocacolle itself as a death game between songs & thats such an interesting way to look at it. kinda fun. the composition on its fun in its own way too. ik it's supposed to be dark but its just a fun song to me.

#this was getting long so its only 15 sorry. i have a lot more in playlists but yeah #fuck it ill tag it why not #vocaloid

okay so heres a video with all the fairy fountain themes, ive got them sorted bottom to top and added time stamps, lets goo

minish cap: 3:40 i understand its on the gba but its just. kinda hard to listen to and overall boring

a link to the past: 0:00 this was the file select song so im not 100% sure it counts. and while it would be the og technically it just doesnt do anything for me. the melody is strong, but its so bland otherwise. especially when compared to some of the others on the list

four sword adventure: 2:41 so this would've been lower but the map version adds drums and it really spices it up

twilight princess: 4:47 im sorry to put this as low on the list but its just not special. its pretty, sure, but its just. standard. which sucks bc this game has an amazing soundtrack

breath of the wild: 12:23 again, im sad to put it this low but like with TP its just standard.

ocarina of time/majora's mask: 0:29/1:02 same song so they go together. but they were the first to add the little harp bit at the beginning, theyre probably the default fairy fountain theme in your brain, and for good reason! theyre classic, clean, and catchy. i would consider these like The Theme

a link between worlds: 7:54 this gets to be this high on the list bc i really like the guitar version that plays in the milk bar. other than that, its run of the mill

skyward sword: 6:54 the violin really sets this apart. like, it adds so much to the overall song. i can hear longing, i can hear hope, i can hear a choir. its really, really pretty

phantom hour glass: 5:50 idk what its call but theres this deep drum that like reverbs a little and its just so unique. it adds this depth you dont get with the other themes. and i really enjoy how all the instruments sound just a little other worldly.

spirit tracks: 6:22 holy shit. the different little instruments through out make it Really special. its so funky and unique and i know i keep giving out that compliment, but i mean it in a way of 'you can tell exactly which zelda this came from. it captured the vibe perfectly.' and thats what this version feels like

wind waker: 1:35 no fucking contest are you kidding me. listen to the choir!! its angelic! it's healing! it's magical! and then!! the gueen fairy's theme is so fucking good!!! how its now a solo instead of a chair! the 'winding up a puppet' sounds throughout! that tangy little boing!! priceless. perfect. she ran away with it and never looked back and we love her for it

Omg yeah it was pi day yesterday! Completely forgot about that lol math is just hard and you’re one in the lucky ones who actually GET IT which is honestly amazing! I feel like as long as you don’t make any kids cry you’re good lol

AND MY BESTIE IS A GOOD SINGER?!??? I shouldn’t even be surprised bc of course you would be good! Idk why but that just makes me smile! I fear that the universe made you be shy in front of people because you would have been too powerful lol bc being good at math, being THE SWEETEST PERSON EVER, being a great writer and being able to sing??? YOU WOULD BE TOO POWERFUL!

Love that you just wanna look at Harry while driving, ICONIC! I get the scent thing! You definitely seem the type to like very natural or just overall comforting smells that don’t overpower but who knows scents can be very tricky! I love this specific Christmas candle that’s sold only in target and it’s smells so good! If by next holiday season I remember to look up the name I’ll let you know bc I think you would like it!

You know what’s wild, Harry’s 2019 SNL performance is what pushed me into this fandom! Was a casual listener before! Something about him using brass instruments for his live performances and showcasing them just did something to me plus HE LOOKED SO HOT HE HAD ME FEELING THINGS😵‍💫🫨 and omg you’re literally so kind! And music theory could honestly be your vibe! Music and just anything creative in general is just so important to me, I agree that I think I would die too lol aside from 1D did you have any artists that you would consider to be your top picks without question?

ALSOOOOOO toothpaste WAS SO GOOD! IVE NEVER WANTED TO BE AT THE DENTIST MORE TGAN EVER!! Like ahhh so so good and cute! Him taking her in on a short notice was so nice! But my girl was stressed and I love how immediately Harry was there to ground her and clam her down a bit! Their chemistry is just so good lol I would love to read more of them when inspiration hits! also I just love how you treat all your anons! Hope that this does make 🐱 feel a bit better!

Hope you’re having a lovely weekend bestie!!!-💜

I think if a kid cried because of me I would quit 😭

HAHAHA there are a lot of things I think I was slighted on because I would be too powerful. I can't imagine what my life would be like if I drank water regularly and/or worked out properly.

I have Harry all over my apartment (calendar, laptop background, and I hid him in one of our photo collages of our friends and family--technically it's a pick of 1D but still) and he's all over my classroom. So he's never too far from my sight. Poor bf thinks I'm crazy but I like to tell him I've known Harry longer than I've known him 😂 tbh idk how I've kept a bf this long when my heart belongs to Harry.

OOOH Def keep the candle in mind next holiday season! I LOVE Target so I will be first in line to get it 😂

He was so cute in 2019. I was just looking at 2018 pics of him and it's weird that was SIX years ago but that might be my favorite version of him 💕

As for another artist? Hmm...right now probs Noah Kahan; when I was young I LOVED Hilary Duff (her name was Sam in A Cinderella Story and made out with Chad Michael Murray so I ALWAYS wanted to be her (still do--she's so pretty and perfect)) I don't think I'm a diehard fan of any artist in particular--I'm def the popular song by a band/musician by and large. Maybe The Goo Goo Dolls or Vanessa Carlton. I think I could write an entire series of stories based on their music. I also like music my parents listened to more than anything on pop radio tbh. I think it's under the umbrella of classic rock/rock in general (John Mellencamp, Queen, The Eagles, Bruce Springsteen, I'm sure you get the vibe). I've def mentioned I'm not really all that musical and I don't do deep dives into most musicians or bands. I'm ashamed to say I only vaguely understand the lore of Fleetwood Mac/Stevie Nicks and I feel like that's sacrilegious where Harry is such a big fan hehehe

Anyway, I know you went through an emo phase and obviously we LOVE Paramore but what other musicians do you like?

Very glad you liked Toothpaste! I hated the dentist growing up. I'm less scared now but MC is ME. I've had a LOT of dental work done over the years and I think in scale of health my priorities are (1) Mental (2) Dental (3) Physical. I could never be a doctor but I think i could do pretty good as a dentist. Last time I went to the dentist I was thinking about how scared I used to be and how much I hated it but I thought about how nice it would be if Harry was my dentist 🥰 So there will be more to it, but yes, I wanted to make my sweet 🐱-anon happy 💕

I hope you don't mind, I'm going to tag 🎶 because music talks are our specialty and I feel like I've never mentioned this to her! 💕

Thanks for your message bestie, it's so good to talk to you. Hope you get to relax a little this weekend! 💕

xoxo

ok so ive been wanting to do an in depth review of Dimension: Answer by Enhypen for time and i guess today is the day, here are my thoughts on this I think KILLER sophomore album from a kpop boy band:

We open with Intro: Whiteout. I love this song because it doesnt make any sense. "My eyes are closed. No, wait, theyre open. But i cant see"??? It takes you on a journey right from the beginning, and Jake's Australian accent really delivers it. Plus the pulsing beat in the background feels like you're running to an undisclosed location. Ends with the words: "what do you think?" Its inviting and narrative and just a great opener.

Track 2: Tamed-Dash is next - song of the summer. They mention summer and in the choreo do a hand fan motion indicating hot weather. Great beat, fun lyrics, catchy chorus, good choreo as well with the music video. Jungwon really stands out in this one; overall a great single no flaw track.

Track 3: Upper Side Dreaming: UNDERRATED. This song is constantly stuck in my head and the beat is so good its just catchy, the little chorus "doo, doo doo doo, doo, doo doo, upper side dreaming like. YEAH no exactly. Also the interspersed English words are really fun. perfect transition from Tamed-Dashed.

Track 4: Just A Little Bit: Not a bad song by any means, but much lower key and more acoustic than the others, not my fave, a little boring but they have pretty good vocals. Plus its a good lead into...

Track 5: GO BIG OR GO HOME. This is my FAVOURITE song on the whole album and it just delivers EXACTLY what it is trying to do: pulsing beat, club early 2000s vibe (kind of usher-esque in the beat??), good mix of English and Korean and fun lines (don't get away, I need a diamond ring, im feeling lucky) and then the chorus hits, great buildup to extremely catchy chorus (we going going going we RIDE) like it just delivers so well. The bridge is really good too, good beat drop. Nothing excessive or innovative but i LOVE this song I think I've listened to it at least 50 times its just so well done

Jumping into Track 6: Blockbuster. Right off the bat we get "hop in, big bills" and you KNOW its gna be a banger with some shredding electric guitar in the back. Simple verse but chorus pulls thru with a beat change, Jay with good vocals, Yeonjun feature for the rap is so killer gives a grungier sound, he brings good ad libs "are...you...ready?" Just a fun song, again, does what it's supposed to do. This album overall just delivers a clean, upbeat, well produced pop album. Like yes the members probably had ZERO SAY in anything they did but i kind of don't care bcuz the production is so good.

Track 7: Attention, Please! is another solid track, good clean chorus, nothing innovative but great fun, the "panic, panic, here we go" in the chorus is fun. Well produced.

Track 8: Interlude: Question - this follows similar format to the intro but different background, more relaxed, same kind of narrative feel and arc though. My one critique is that the interlude is only two songs before the end, but to be fair i can't really think of where would be a better place to put it.

Track 9: Blessed-Cursed - solid single, i've heard it way too many times though and don't like it as much as the others. They were def going for an edgier feel, it is a solid track, good pre chorus, good choreo (easy to remember, learn, and representative). I think they definitely took this songs popularity as the inspo for their next album which sadly is not nearly as good. They do fun pop so well idk why they felt they had to go edgy and autotune but it seems a lot of the groups are doing that these days i guess.

Another note: this album is supposed to be in their vampire boarding school era (re: webtoon) but not enough vampire boarding school nrg. Like theyr really set up all this lore and having the other group be werewolves but very little delivery. I mean drunk dazed was VERY vampiric and slay and that whole mini album was but overall it was not as good an album imo and fever i don't like for them. They should have brought more in here.

Ok i am writing a lot because I am stalling talking about my least favourite track: Polaroid Love. Basic, classic, happy acoustic nothing song, repetitive chorus and verses, NOTHING innovative. I guess they wanted to show the kids actually had vocal ability because the audition show focused so heavily on dancing, but its not a good song imo even though one of the members Heesung says it's his favourite. But it kind of fits the theme, I don't like the transition from Blessed-Cursed bc it just softens out so fast and for what

Last is Outro: Day 2: Very similar to Intro and Interlude, the instrumentation on this one is very fun, reminds me vaguely of some kind of Lorde inspo (VAGUELY) and then builds up, he kind of rambles about "writing his day two", idk what plot they were going for honestly but it closes the album out well, fading out.

Ok wrote more than I thought but those are my thoughts. I need to give Day 2: Manifesto (their new mini album) another listen, but Im just not feeling it. It just doesn't have the same precise production and immaculate vibes as Dimension: Answer.

Overall this album is imo a pop masterpiece, and one of my favourite overall kpop albums, and maybe just albums in general. With one HARD skip and that's it, we are doing pretty well, plus the first half bangers make up for it. Its camp, its concept, its well produced and well delivered, and thematically very fun. Recommend to all :)

I have two questions about Louis IV of Hesse I hope you might have answers to... 1. Did he have a close friendship to Fritz of Prussia? Despite politics? 2. Was he really as... well, stupid as many tend to believe about him? Or so called ”handsome, but not very intelligent”.

Hey! First I just want to say that we have few materials in English on Louis, Fritz (& Alice tbh) but here is my two cents.

Concerning Louis and Fritz, I would say they did have a close friendship. They fought on opposite sides during the Austro-Prussian war but that didn't seem to have dampened their friendship. Tbh every relationship has its ups and downs. Fritz didn't approve the marriage between Louis of Battenberg and his niece Victoria. But overall I think they remained close. Louis was in the adjacent room when Fritz had his tracheotomy in January 1888. And when Fritz died, Louis stood by Vicky's side. In one of his letters to his sister-in-law he wrote: 'When I can do anything to propagate Fritz's views I will do so'. After Louis' death in 1892, Vicky wrote to her mother: 'only Louis to whom I could talk, & who understood & who could share many of my feelings & fears'.

& look at these dorks...

Regarding his “lack of intelligence", I think this belief comes from a letter written by Alice in October 1876 :

'I longed for a real companion, for apart from that life had nothing to offer me in Darmstadt. I could have been quite happy and contented living in a cottage, if I had been able to share my intellectual interests, and intellectual aspirations with a husband whose strong, protective love would have guided me around the rocks... So naturally I am bitterly disappointed with myself when I look back, and see that in spite of great ambitions, goo intentions, and real effort, my hopes have nevertheless been completely shipwrecked...' ouch, however she continues saying: 'I love you too so very much, my darling husband, that is why it is so sad to feel that our life is nevertheless so incomplete - and sometimes so difficult.'

Scholars then assumed that the clever Alice was trapped in an unfulfilled marriage with a dim husband (Jerrold M. Packard is particularly hard on Louis). I think it is reductive.

Let's add some context: the Franco-Prussian deeply marked Alice, she had gone through a spiritual crisis. In 1873, their youngest son, Frittie, died when he fell from an open window in Alice's bedroom. I can't even fathom the guilt and anguish that Alice must have felt. They both responded differently to grief, Alice wrote to Louis: 'The wound... is not yet healed... I sometimes need to talk about it... But I don't do it with you - I know it hurts you.'

I see a woman with great depths who had gone through many trials and who had been married for fourteen years. Fourteen years... Marriage brings its fair share of challenges. When she wrote this letter, she clearly felt discontent and melancholic. She yearned for a sort of intimate intellectual companionship that perhaps Louis was unable to give her. However, it would be wrong to say that because of this, Louis was as dry as dust. And the fact that she was even able to share these thoughts and feelings with Louis says a lot about him.

+++ the last quote of Vicky above, shows that she held him in high esteem. Coming from Vicky, it means a lot. She was clever as hell and she despised medriocrity. She wrote this after his death so there is a kind of pathos in her words. But Louis was very much aware of what was happening in Berlin with Bismarck and his clique!

#i would love to delve deeper but we have not enough sources :(#if only we had their correspondence!#&#so sorry for my late reply!!#it was nice to have a question about louis #and fritz ;)#answer #kaiser frederick III #louis iv #hesse

Overall the Animal Crossing update has been a whole ass boon to my life. Ive enjoyed it a whole lot but I do have some gripes...

1- The wall size is inconvenient especially when adding a beam. Like the doorway will always look way too wide or way too narrow. I just wish we got multiple sizes. 2- ALSO You can place anything on the walls? So janky. 3- I wish the beams blended? together seamlessly so you can make like an extra thicc beam ya know? 4- ALSO you can place anything on the beams? So janky. 5- This isnt an update problem but like fences and stuff not being treated like half items is such a pain! Fences look so goo but then you have this unseemly gap.... it happens to the placed walls and counters too. SO JANKY!! 6- Accent walls... I just wish we could put multiple up or added them to just placed walls. 7- No window or door/doorway items! Like even if there was a ceiling item that was a half wall to make a gap in the walls look more like a doorway. Game changing. 8- We need hanging shelves! And more like... counter items ya know... with more colors... Stuff to put stuff on! I need it! 9- Not being able to resize homes on your island! The walls can be cumbersome as they are so not having that extra space is so jank. Id even pay Nook to expand my villagers homes!

MINA UPDATE; MINA HAS BEEN TO FOUR VETS IN 72 HOURS.

First vet was the ER vet. Found she was dehydrated and put her on fluids and because of three other things said she was stage 3 kidney disease. Kicked me out at 7:30 am to go to my vet across the road.

Second vet, my shitty vet who didn't tell me at her UTI visit nine months ago to keep an eye on her kidneys because she's old; basically left her to do her fluids ans SUPPOSEDLY rechecked her at 5:30pm qnd in short told me she wasn't gonna make it for another 24-48 hours. Shitty bedside manners, honestly. Said she was too far gone to do much for her poor kidneys.

Didn't like those bullshit answers. Got her home and noticed her vision going which is STRANGE. That doesn't happen SUDDENLY... So at 9am we took her to my sister's vet who ran her blood and saw her kidneys were hella better than we were told. Also told she's way healthier than we were told. Vet told me she suspected hypertension because some things but unfortunately no way to measure her blood pressure there. Gave me meds, insisted we try to do the sub fluids for a week and see if she evens out ans THEN look into if we need to out her down. Overall just way more positive.

Mina was walking around, climbing in her box, keeping fluids and food down what we gave her. TRYING to find her box qnd use it. I woke up today to her having g blood on her iris, and freaked out.

So my sister came to catsit today, got food and water in her, monitored her, kept her warm and called some friends - one of whom is an Amish horse vet who had a cat with hypertension. Which the eye thing super lead us to believe that's what it was. He told us to just get her checked and go from there.

FOURTH FUCKING VET WAS ANOTHER ER VET. ARGUED WITH ME ABOUT MY PAPERS BEING FAXXED OVER THAT VET NUMBER THREE HAD TWO TECHS FAX AND EMAIL OVER. The told me how WORRIED they were about Mina ans her overall condition, and yet literally would not stop telling me she is probably gonna die. Like the three vets out of the four who told me this can rot in hell honestly. The third vet was the only one who acknowledged my cats age and also commenter on her ACTUAL health and what's poor right now with goos optimism. I'm livid still how the last one was.

After my sister getting pissed, my sisters vet getting pissed, the fucking tech going back over to the building to passive aggressively email the paperwork to them ans angrily calling them and calling me back TWICE finally they got me a prescription for some blood pressure meds. My poor cats blood pressure is 300+. Her poor fuxking head. It took them 2 hours to stop grabbing my dick, when I was telling them she has to have high blood pressure ans please hurry because I'm so fucking scared for her eyes....

SO WE GET HOME, GIVE HER HER MEDS, SHE DRANK FOR HERSELF FOR LIKE TEN MINUTES, PEED LIKE A BASTARD, GOT 100ML OF IV IN HER TO HELP WITH THE DEHYDRATION AND IS SLEEPING LIKE A LITTLE ANGEL NOW.

Things are looking better and even if she only has a week I just wanna know I did my best to make her comfortable and she's not going out in pain, she's going out feeling as close to normal as I can. I want her brain not on fire. I want her to at least be able to see us...

I'm so tired ans last I checked on her, she was at least sleeping and purring... But man. These vets around here. I'm still amazed no one checked her blood pressure ans basically told me on yeah she's gonna die. Like straight up.

More so too is just... Idfk man, like I kept telling my actual vet, vet 2, that my cat has always drank a lot of water, always has dilated pupils, runs cold, is small, is antisocial qnd complacent when handled too much...and he still gave me shit... Juat....I'm never going back there....

MANDALORIAN TIME

1. grogu? is that like space frodo or what i don’t like it it sounds like a hippopotamus trying to imitate a frog

2. ahSOKA,,, she,,, i was kinda salty abt her tho? like she just kinda showed up then left right after it was kinda lame (and like obviously her wife isn’t gonna be there but come oN i want her wife to be there that’s part of what i’m badly rewriting) also she just didn’t seem right i can understand her,, caution? but she seemed too closed off i miss clone wars ahsoka

3. idk the episode just seemed a little anticlimactic the vibes were wrong to me :( it wasn’t as fun i think and star wars should be fun

anyway stay tuned for a fic never :) (i looked at ao3 to see how the vibes were in the mandalorian section or whatever and it is,,, odd to say the least)

hi pen!!!

1. ok i said this when jordan sent a message but i think it’s 👉👈 kinda cute......he’s a baby yoda frog infant n grogu sounds kinda like goo goo hes Babey. BUT i do understand why ppl wouldn’t like it idk if they should have given him a name at all

2. oh SHE was so fuckin cool i loved her.......obviously ive never seen clone wars so i couldn’t say if she was out of character I trust u tho if u say she was......i thought she was cool n hot n like the jedi have all been killed so caution makes sense 2 me BUT ik she was in rebels and so if she was out of character from that..... :( (i wanna see her wife!! bring us the wife)

3. the planet design wasn’t my favorite but overall i thought the old samurai movie vibes were p neat. i did think that ahsoka being like “ok u found me after a few episodes of trying to get this information AND NOW go to this other planet” was like.....kinda lame but i can overlook it. i liked when they talked about the baby coming from the coruscant jedi temple that was cool

i am EXCITED to see a fic i haven’t checked out the mandalorian tag on ao3 so i??? have no idea what that’s like and im not sure i want to know. i’ve read like one the mandalorian fic and it was Cute but idk if i could guess what the overall vibes would be. weird is ig what i’d say and ur confirming that suspicion so 👁👁

#ty as always for the ask pen!#pi's personal #star wars #treasured mutuals #query on top #the mandalorian spoilers #mandalorian discussion group #pen tag 🖋

I never stopped loving you. Not once. I left because of my own stupidity. No one else’s words made me feel like I had to do something else. In a way, that’s worse. Being stupid enough to have decided to do something so harmful to myself. Being crazy enough to lose something so precious to myself. How can anyone know that I did that by myself? That no one else influenced me? Because when others tried to talk to me to try for you again, my stupidity said no to them. If I was so easy to move that I would have left you if anyone said so, then it would have also been easy to talk me into trying for you again. It was my own stupidity that dug my grave, and from there I crawled out to chase you again, because I had never once forgotten about you. The feelings we had were not new, not at all. We tried to let them go, both of us. You wanted to avoid your pain, you wanted to stop it. So you tried being with someone else, a ‘friend’. You never even liked him. I was stupid, myself. I thought too less of myself, I thought we would keep on fighting, even though I had believed in myself till then to try for you and to keep you happy. I thought myself too weak, but I was so stupid. I hurt for days, I tried to forget it.

You hurt for days, you tried to forget it. Songs I listened to always somehow turned out to be about you, whether I wanted or not. You listened to your favourite songs, hoping that love would find a way? Baby, it did. We did find each other again, however we did. What you wanted came to you. What you cried for was fixed. Everything was alright. I felt happier than I had done in months. I felt whole, complete. I felt I that I could be myself. I felt that I could be happy, uninhibited. I saw how you looked at me, when I called you mine. Goo-goo eyes, people call them. Trust me, darling, I looked at you the same. I still look at you. I love it. It fills me up with liquid happiness, carrying me upwards, making me float. I saw the things you look at now, the posts you see. You think I don’t do those things for you? You think someone could ever write you any paragraph better than I do? It was the very first thing I did, the night I told you I loved you. I sent you about a hundred messages, all about how I loved you. You woke up happy, seeing them. When I went to bed till the very end, I always told you how much I loved you. I always told you how much you meant to me. The first thing I always did after waking up was think of how to talk to you. I think of that even now, and then the anxiety hits me so hurt, because I can’t. More than jealousy over him, I miss you. That hurts me much more, I promise.

The hardest I remember crying was the week after you left me, in my bathroom. I needed you, and mom had just scolded me. I went in there and I just had to sit down and you could see the parts of myself hit the walls as I exploded in agony. I threw myself around the place, my eyes red, my face trembling, my entire world submerged with me in that room while I called out your name and cried out to hear your voice say my name to me. I did not know about anyone else. I thought you were only angry with me. Even that broke me down to pieces. I held our dog to my chest, and he could sense how close I was to crying again. He tried to smother me, much more than usual, hugging me as I held him and talked about you. It breaks my heart to think of him now, when I promised him that we would be a family together. I remember you smiling about it that day I was walking you home, last. The day you got so angry at me. I feel like I need to say it again, darling. That day was so terrible. The night before, only, you had told me you loved me. You LOVED me. And the day after, we were to stop seeing each other? Out of the blue? You then told me to go home and you would call me, but a certain coldness wasn’t left out of your voice. I felt it jump through my veins as I could feel my insides collapsing, living a nightmare right there on the street with you as you told me that you would leave me again. As you went into the gate, I was determined. Not to get you in trouble. I was honestly scared of getting into trouble myself. I felt scared, that your guard would catch me. I was scared about your parents catching me. Perhaps your father was right there in the garage, getting out of a car? Remember when he had last caught us? I wanted to leave early from your house, but you wanted me. Now, baby, THAT was selfish. I stayed for you, although I can’t lie and say I didn’t like what we did, either. But he did catch us that time because you asked me to stay. I don’t blame you. You couldn’t have known. But I wanted to play it safe, just in case. That was just for fun, why you asked me to stay, risking getting caught. This time, I was thinking of the risk, yes. I was thinking about your parents, your guard, your driver, maybe someone was already in the garage? My mom once literally burned me, if you remember. It was the day after your mom called mine to tell her about us and instagram and everything. I still have the mark on my arm. I was scared, too. But I felt like I had to chase behind you. I chased for you before in November, but then stopped because of my stupidity. I did not want to make a mistake close to anything similar to that. I did think of the risk, as well as how I could’ve gotten into trouble myself. But I went in, because I loved you. Not for fun, like you made me stay longer that time at your house. But for love, inherently, to make sure that you stayed in my life once we had each other again. I really should have pretended to be asking for a notebook back from you. Maybe it would have been fine then. I’m sorry for how I hurt you before. I was emotionally distant, unavailable, sometimes inconsiderate, numb, and overall a terrible boyfriend. But that was 2 years ago. I was improving, much better. I tried for you. You called me names. You told me that you wished that I was dead, literally. I still stayed for you, tried for you. I still made that mistake of being stupid enough to stop trying, but I found my senses, darling. We found each other again. We were going to be happy again. I was never going to hurt you like I did months before. I did everything I could to make you happy. I maybe should have tried even harder. But the memories of hurt, the damned memories. I wasn’t ever going to repeat those mistakes. And what’s worse, I think you believe me when I say that now, but you think now that it’s too late. You think you need a fresh start? I can’t ever get one anyway. I was going to get my fresh start with you. Because I hadn’t done anything bad again when we started again. Anything. But you’ve made up your mind, apparently. So maybe, stick with it. I can promise one thing from the bottom of my heart. I won’t change. I can’t change. The music, books, movies, shows, colours, writings, pictures, weathers, seasons, clothes, food, drink, even the way I sleep. I love harry styles, pink floyd, led zeppelin, the bee gees, disney songs (especially upbeat ones like bare necessities or under the sea), and i will always adore 2000s pop like gaga, britney, and timberlake. i like the kite runner, princess diaries, harry potter (i hate jk rowling tho), heartless, the godfather, and I did quite like the shining. i like marvel movies, i love joker, the dark knight trilogy, mean girls, the notebook, and I loved both of the ‘to all the boys ive loved before’. i like how i met your mother. if you remember, i tried to make you watch brooklyn 99 first at that old friend’s place, but you just wanted to make out, cutie. i also love the good place, the goldbergs, new girl, and sherlock. i love orange, brown, pink, and black. I won’t change. No matter how cold you get, I know who you are, what you like, what makes you, you. Maybe one day, you’ll come say hi to me. And we’ll have drinks. We’ll have food. We’ll talk about some old things. And then, suddenly, I’ll say it again. I never stopped loving you.

Chapter 1

Chapter 3

A card. A card. A card.

On and on it rambled in his brain, thundering and stabbing everything that made up his matter. He could see the doctor’s struggling to figure out what his problem was, could hear his parents voices in worry. Overall the eldritch horrific voice kept repeating that nauseating tortuous phrase and it kept overpowering everything of his existence.

“Hey we’ve got another couple of kids that fainted today.” Stephan’s eyes opened wide, the entity deemed best as the Shadow Realm crawling from his lids invisibly forcing Stephan to look at the talking doctors.

“Another no obvious cause case?”

“Yeah.” Stephan watched as the sloppy goo cover his hand, the iv that was placed in his body was sucked out painfully. He wanted to cry, he wanted to scream, but the goo controlled him like a puppet and his body moved. He must have been invisible considering the talking doctors ignored him and his sloppy steps.

“Which room are the new kids in?” The goo that covered his body forced him still to listen to the next words. The other person in the conversation answered and to Stephan’s lack of surprise, the puppeteering continued. His body sludged towards the offered number, the nurses and fellow patients completely ignorant to his presence as the ugly goop dragged him. Stephan felt tears drop from his eyes from the pain his body screeched at him and those tears poured out quicker as he entered the room, seeing Yuna lying down on a bed. Stephan’s hand bent painfully, reaching for his deck. The soul staining remark of ‘A card’ echoed and came faster and faster, a tirade of chaos as the twisted hand grabbed his most treasured monster. A painful sob made it way out of his mouth, this was not only his first monster card ever, it was his strongest. His body trudged to the little table by Yuna’s bedside and with more force than necessary his hand twisted to try and force the card down.

“Someone’s main deck is a part of their soul. I would never take someone’s soul.” Stephan glanced over to the sleeping figure as the gloop controlling his body paused from the words. Where had that come from? It sounded like Yuna, but the girl had not reacted since he was forced in. Stephan’s hand and card withdrew and despite all of his pain, he felt elation as the card was put back in his deck. The goop purposely twisted his wrist and traveled to each card he had. This was his main deck, if whoever spoke was speaking the truth and the Shadow Realm took those words to heart than he wouldn’t be able to get rid of any of these cards. Which was both great and terrible. Stephan wanted to be free from this torment, but the feelings of panic and anxiety of even putting his first card down was downright awful. His hand continued to twist, full of indecision for a few minutes.

“Tsukasa!” Distracted by the distraught newcomer, the Shadow Realm actually shifted Stephan to focus on the unhappy person. Stephan saw the other bed in the room held the duelist like the woman had called out. A nurse came from behind her, “Do you have any idea how this happened yet?” The woman asking the question was short with short brown hair, except with small parts of blonde mixed in. Stephan surmised that this was likely Tsukasa’s mom, her eyes were dark like his.

“I’m sorry ma’am, we don’t yet know.” The older woman touched Tsukasa forehead, brushing away part of his bangs. “But it doesn’t look like he’s in a terrible condition, he’s still breathing on his own and his blood pressure and temperature is normal.” The nurse tried to calm the mother down. “It’s likely he’s overworked.” The mother frowned at that, continuing to brush her son’s hair. After a minute, the nurse nodded and walked to Yuna’s bed, Stephan screaming as his now useless hand focused on his deck again.

The nurse fixed Yuna’s sheets, brushing the girl’s bangs in imitation of the loving mother for the boy in the other bed. “You on the other hand…” The nurse muttered lowly before going back to the mother. “Mrs. Ayumu can you please follow me to fill out the rest of the paperwork?” The older woman nodded numbly, following the nurse outside the room. The Shadow Realm finally made a decision during what may as well have been the outside world and Stephan finally felt relief as the card was placed on the table. It was a card he had duplicates of, he could replace it easily if needed.

Stephan screamed as the Shadow Realm let go and he fell forward, all of the painful things it had done to him rushed to his conscious. His left hand ruined from the break. The nurse and Mrs. Ayumu rushed in immediately and stared shocked at the sudden appearance of the screaming teenager.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Do you think big sis Yuna will be okay?” Claire asked Kayo, tugging on his long sleeve with a worried look. Kayo brushed her off and glared down at the ground. They had managed to get help and were unfortunately relegated to the third professor of the cram school, who promptly shoved the four children into a study room.

“Ryu were there any duel spirits that could tell you what that was?” Kayo asked his own question, studying the mute. Ryu stared down at his sketchbook with a haunted expression, upsetting the pink-haired boy even more. What was all that?

“So she really is a monster.” Sakura remarked coldy from her seat, her legs swinging childishly despite her tone.

“Don’t call big sis that!” Claire shouted, approaching Sakura angrily. Sakura just gave her a harsh stare, her feet still swinging with desperate energy.

“Well what else can make what happened happen?” Claire’s face twisted with a frown and she huffed and visibly stomped her feet.

“Well...ma-maybe it’s Ayumu’s fault!” Claire offered. “He was talking about something weird right?”

“Getting rid of Yuna’s darkness…” Kayo muttered as Sakura scoffed.

“Then doesn’t that mean that Ayumu should have won that duel?” Claire frowned at her question. “We should have been cheering him on to get rid of the monst-” Sakura screamed as Claire tackled her, the two of them falling from the chair.

“Stop!” Kayo yelled, hissing as he had to get himself involved with the scuffle, the three of them making a mess. Ryu’s hand trembled as the trio kept bumping into desks and chairs, adult words spilling out of all of their mouths with ease. The green-haired boy started to write in his sketchbook and the only thing that paused the fight was a particularly loud shriek from Claire as Kayo started to pull on her long hair.

“Let go, let go, let go-” she continuously whined and Kayo cried in pain as Sakura harshly pinched his back, yelling the same thing as Claire.

“I’ll let-OW-go if you-STOP,” Kayo swung at Sakura who switched to his other side to continue the painful pinches. The three would have continued if not for Ryu throwing his large sketchbook at the three. They simultaneously looked to see Ryu shaking and crying. Kayo had no problem letting go of his advantage and rushed to the taller with Claire and Sakura following him. “Ryu I’m sorry.” The boy shook his head and pointed at the forgotten weapon. Being the closest, Sakura picked it up and handed it back to the boy, looking sulky.

“I don’t know what any of that was, and there were no nearby duel monsters to ask, but whatever it is, it’s scary.” Kayo frowned at the words.

“...Yeah, it was scary.” Claire was the first to speak, worry emitting from her.

“Whenever I got close to it, my tummy hurt.” Claire held her hands close to said spot, “I can’t imagine how it felt for big sis or Ayumu.” At her words, Sakura stilled. “I just want to know if they’ll be okay.” Kayo swallowed the sudden abundance of saliva in his mouth and nervously remarked,

“I’m sure they are.”

“Yeah.” Sakura backed his words, “I’m sure they’ll be okay.” She put her hand on Claire’s shoulder, reminding Kayo that despite of the venom the three could carry between them, it was easily cured when they actually shared their feelings. Kayo put his own hand on Ryu’s shoulder,

“What about you? Will you be okay?” Ryu held his sketchbook close to his chest and that just told Kayo that his friend didn’t know.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was dark. An aching eerily dark that made her think she was blind because she couldn’t see any part of her body. Couldn’t even really feel like she HAD a body. Then noise started shrieking and filtering into her senses, an abnormal amount of emotional cries attacked her at a frenzy of panic, it felt like she was going to be crushed by it.

And she might have been if she didn’t wake up. Yuna panted, throwing the blanket she had on her off immediately. She continued to breathe harshly, wiping off the sweat that built on her face. The young woman eventually was able to calm down, and she stared, realizing she was in a hospital room. She sighed then started to rub her forehead, the place where the eye normally appeared ached. Her arms and legs felt the same.

“What happened?” She asked out loud, sighing into the room. She started to look for her cellphone, she needed to contact her parents if it wasn’t too late. She jumped when in her search a Duel Monsters card fell to the ground.

Curiously she picked it up and saw it was a Kidmodo Dragon. She gave the card a small smile and put it back from where it fell, thinking she would turn it in the lost and found in the morning, then finally finding her cellphone. As she moved to call, likely to leave a voice message because it was 9 at night, Yuna blinked as the card fell from its spot to the ground once again as she pressed the only phone number she had saved.

Yuna stared at the Duel Monster card with confusion. She knew she had put it away from the corner to fall, so how did it get on the ground? She looked at the window to the room and saw it wasn’t open for a breeze. Before she could think anymore, the phone was answered.

“Hello?” It was her dad, sounding like he was forced awake from bed. Drat.

“Hey! Sorry to wake you up, just making the usual call in.” She tried to beam a smile through the phone. Her father was silent so she continued, “I’m calling a little late because I was out all day, having a ton of fun with some friends.”

“Is that so?”

“Yup! I’ll go ahead and let you go now, you head back to sleep and I’ll make a full report tomorrow night, okay?” Her father made a grunting noise before hanging up on her. She sighed, putting her cell phone away and then turned back to pick up the Kidmodo Dragon. She gave it smile again, “Don’t worry little guy, I’ll put you somewhere where your owner will come back for-”

“That’s yours.” Yuna shrieked, jumping visibly at the voice that came from behind what she thought was a wall. Yuna tip-toed to the wall and pushed it, feeling it was softer than wood.

“Tsukasa!” She gasped, then covered her mouth for her volume. “You’re okay! I’m glad-” his expression stopped the rest of her sentence. She looked away at the unmitigated anger molded into the brunet’s face. “Um...you said this is mine?” She tried to change the subject, displaying the card for visibility. Tsukasa’s face did not change, but he did answer her,

“Stephan gave that to you. Lousy choice if you ask me.” He glared away from her, facing the wall of the room they shared. Yuna looked down at the card, frowning. Why did Stephan give her the card? She nodded to herself,

“I’m going to go visit him.” Tsukasa’s eyes darted to her and before she could move out of the room he hissed,

“He was moved into the ICU, and it’s late at night, there wouldn’t be anyway to get to him...unless you use your dark magic maybe.” Yuna felt her back bristle, her eyes appearing all over her with the frustration from his words. Her multiple eyes blinked as she started to worry instead of being angry. Stephan really was in bad shape, huh? That made her question why she had gotten the card even more. Yuna turned to look at the scary brunet.

“You said you’re a light to destroy a great darkness.” She grabbed her arm unsure, “Do-do you know more? You seem so sure that I’m...cursed.” Yuna stated awkwardly, almost quiet because what if she really was? Tsukasa stared at his wall, his expression stony and neutral. “I wasn’t born with these eyes.” She admitted to him, hoping to get him to speak more of the destiny he seemed to be sure of.

Tsukasa glanced at her so she continued, “I don’t know why I suddenly got these eyes, my earliest memory of them was when I was much younger.” She glanced down at the ground, the shameful moment flooding into her mind easily. She didn't have many possessions, her family poor even then and she was mindful of her parents time. She was pretty sure her mother had taken weeks to make her the stuffed rabbit. Three of her classmates were trying to steal the toy, and in all of their fury of tug of war, they had ripped the rabbit in half.

“I HOPE YOU GET EATEN BY A MONSTER!”

Yuna paled under Tsukasa’s gaze on her. Her memory supplying her with the fact that those three classmates had disappeared after that day.

“Your eyes appeared after yelling that?” He asked, and she nodded hesitantly. The young woman then looked up to process what the other was possibly thinking, but he looked completely shut off.

“Do you know something Tsukasa?” She asked again. The boy answered with silence and purposely looking away from her. She felt an ugly feeling roam everywhere in her body before settling in her stomach. The hand without the Kidmodo Dragon rubbed one of her eyes that could feel the sting of sadness. She closed the wall and climbed into her bed. Despite the depression that was ravaging her stomach and slowly crawling up to her chest, she brought the Duel Monsters card into view. Her first ever actual Duel Card. A card that would make a part of her soul when she got at least 38 more for a whole deck.

It was small, weak, and only useful for its special effect. A part of her stifled a frustrated giggle. She brought it to her forehead, and shivered slightly when felt like her mystical eye blinked at it. She wasn’t feeling angry and she had no way of comprehending why it appeared during the duel. So many weird and mysterious things were happening, and the only one who may potentially had answers despised her. “We’re two of a kind, aren’t we Kidmodo Dragon?” She asked it, giving the card a sincere smile. She then took off her necklace and put the card to stack upon the blank Duel Monsters card.

She gave the wall separating the two teens one long stare, feeling tension claw on her shoulders. Just what was going to happen to her in the future? She took a deep breathe through her nose and smacked her cheeks. It didn’t matter, she would pull through with her best, just like her heroes. “Goodnight Tsukasa.” She said out loud and turned away, falling asleep despite all negative emotions trying to nerve her to stay awake.

On the other side of the wall, Tsukasa glared at the way to where Yuna laid. The forced lesson of human lives being more important was true, he knew. A voice repeatedly whispered in the back of his mind to enforce that thought. Tsukasa agreed with the voice, but Yuna Tatsumi was in no way human, so she was free game to do whatever he wanted with her life.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Elisa yawned under her umbrella, her younger brother glaring up at her as the umbrella dipped away from him to get a little rain on his shoulder.

“Sis come on!” He hit her arm and she hit his back.

“A little water isn’t going to kill you.”

“The problem is that it isn’t going to be a little with you tilting it back and forth!” He shoved his way against her side, Elisa scoffing as he got her wet. The two stayed close, both bumping into each other purposely with force until they made it to the school. Her brother glared at the school and Elisa snickered.

“Raúl, you shy to meet your classmates?” He elbowed her in embarrassment. “Oh no, poor little Raúl,” she held her hands to her face, “I’m so shy I’d be content to hide in a hole for the rest of my life.” Raúl growed and stomped into the building with obvious hatred with each step. Elisa laughed, reaching the building after him. It wasn’t rare for people to get sick in this city due to the constant rainfall, and unfortunately Raúl and baby sister Sierra had both came down with terrible colds and Elisa volunteered herself to stay home to take care of them for her mother and father.

Unfortunately that also meant she had missed the last three days, which meant,

“Ah the Flores siblings.” Elisa did her best to give the student council president a neutral expression. Raúl also did his best to appear nonchalant, but Elisa easily saw him shifting to be by her side. Lyla held out her hand, “Got your passes?” Elisa made a small noise and motioned to her little brother. The freshman pulled out both of their passes, each with new stamps on them for their absences. Due to the not incredibly rare disappearances of students because of sickness the passes were required to be stamped by either a parent or doctor.

Lyla scanned the passes and nodded, handing them back. “Very well, head to class. Oh,” Lyla stopped Elisa from moving pass her, “if you see Ayumu today please tell me.” Elisa rose an eyebrow. “He and that transfer student haven’t come in today.” Transfer student? Seeing her confusion, Lyla nodded, explaining “You had a transfer student come into your class, Yuna Tatsumi, I think?” Well it was weird for Tsukasa not to be around, but she had no clue about this Yuna Tatsumi.

“Good morning!” Elisa jumped as Yuna splashed into the building. Lyla gave the young girl a glare, “Sorry I’m a little late,” Yuna spoke, fumbling around her uniform, “They didn’t want to let me go right away after a few tests-” She must have found what she was looking for because she gave a little cheerful ‘aha’ and handed it to Lyla. Lyla glanced at the paper she was handed,

“Where’s Ayumu, Tatsumi?” Yuna blinked. She looked away,

“Why would you assume I would know where he is?” Elisa stayed as her brother ran off seeing an obvious distraction for the Student Council. This was a transfer student for her class, huh? Lyla gave the other a firm glare. Yuna squirmed under her gaze but said nothing. After the stare-down, Lyla sighed,

“Very well, go to class, both of you.” Lyla hissed and the two made their way into the building. Elisa had taken the time to study the uncomfortable girl while she was being glared at.

“My name’s Elisa Flores,” she introduced herself as they made their way further into the building. “You can call me Elly.” She determined and Yuna blinked at her friendly hand. The other teenager gave her a big smile.

“Okay, my name’s Yuna Tatsumi. You can call me Yuna.” She giggled for some reason and Elisa chuckled in reply. As the two made their way to their classroom, Yuna noted out loud, “Are you a student of,” she paused in memory, “2-C?” Elisa nodded and Yuna gave her a dazzling smile. “Awesome.”

“Yeah.” Elisa grabbed the door and could hear the nonsensical yammering of the many mixed, but as soon as she opened it, the noise ceased to stare at the two coming in. Elisa blinked as she watched everyone quietly following their gazes to where Yuna sat, the desk behind Tsukasa’s Elisa noted. Elisa frowned, walking in and noticing that everyone continued to stare at the tri-colored girl near the front.Her seat was more by the back and she was immediately bombarded by whispers of gossip.

“I heard Yuna was the one who put Stephan in the hospital.”

“I heard she beat Tsukasa in a duel.”

“I heard-”

“Did you see-” Elisa glared pointedly at the other teenagers around her. She then looked at the girl near the front, seeing she was either deaf or ignoring all of the chatter around her as her shoulders and back stayed straight and Elisa imagined her eyes were strictly on the board, waiting for the teacher to say something. The noise continued in the back, building on Elisa’s temple with each remark. Elisa may not really know the girl near the front, nor why everyone was talking about her, but enough was enough.

“Shut up!” Elisa slammed her hands her desk, everyone jumping to her action.

“Ms. Flores!” Elisa jumped in response as the teacher immediately started to lecture her and put detention on her. A hushed amount of giggling surrounded her, “Ms. Tatsumi, please escort her to the children after school.”

“They’re still the punishment?” Yuna queried and Elisa raised her eyebrow at the question.

“We still haven’t found a substitute, but I’m sure just adding this girl,” the teacher arched their heard towards Elisa, “will more than enough make it an actual punishment.” Yuna frowned at the teacher but nodded, giving Elisa a sympathetic nod. Elisa sighed, giving everyone around her one final glare, promising a fist to their mouths if they decided to speak anyway.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Did you have a headache?” Yuna asked the darker teen. She had natural tanned skin, black hair with purple tints in it, and her eyes were a bright color. The other thing that stood out about her to Yuna was the bright red scarf wrapped around her neck. Yuna pondered momentarily if Elisa had to go out of the way to request to wear the item like she had to. Elisa blinked at her, obviously confused as they made their way to the cram school. “I mean, you said shut up out of nowhere.” She amended to explain her thoughts.

“Oh, that...no I didn’t have a headache.” Elisa gave her a long stare before remarking, “Did you not hear everyone?” Yuna tilted her head.

“Hear?”

“Nevermind.” Elisa gave a loud sigh, putting her arms behind her head as they continued walking. “So the punishment this year was watching the preschool brats huh?”

“They’re in elementary, and they’re not that bratty.” Yuna defended with a bit of a pout on her face. Elisa chuckled lightly,

“Yeah? I’ve heard a lot of crazy rumors about them.”

“Like what?” Genuinely curious, Yuna turned around, walking backwards. Giving the curious teen a demonic grin she spoke,

“Supposedly they’ve driven people insane, summoning monsters and cursing their lives with terror.” Elisa didn’t believe a bit of it, but she did always like teasing people, “Darkness surrounds those who associate with those brats, that’s why they’re all together because no one knows what else to do with them.” Yuna just gave Elisa a confused expression. Elisa watched as the confused expression shifted to understanding.

If there were such rumors surrounding them all the time, then them not reacting negatively to her eyes made a lot more sense. Yuna turned back around and held her card close to her heart.The monster rumor probably came because of Ryu’s ability to see Duel Monsters, and whatever else Elly was talking about was likely unhappy circumstances that happened. Or maybe...Yuna started walking a little faster. Elisa made a noise but jogged after the girl.

“Tasumi, you’re here.” Ms. Mokfu spoke with surprise in her voice. “Should you be-” her eyes drifted to Elisa and she chuckled, “Oh, I guess you were just helping some-”

“No I’m here to do my duty as normal Ms. Mokfu.” Ms. Mokfu audibly gasped.

“Are you sure? I mean it’s not a normal thing for someone to pass out due to a duel around here, we’ve put so many safeguards to make sure that doesn’t happen,” Elisa raised her eyebrows with slight shock at what the teacher was admitting. “So if you need to take a day off-” Yuna gave the older woman a determined stare,

“I don’t, thank you Ms. Moku.” Yuna walked past the blonde teacher and headed to the little building off from the cram school. Ms. Mokfu stared with her mouth agape and simply nodded as Elisa waved at her and followed the tri-colored teen. As soon as they were out of ear distance, Ms. Mokfu stood up straight, remarking underneath her breath,

“Hey, was it just me or was there a duel spirit following Tatsumi?”

“No, that was certainly a Kidmodo Dragon.”

“That wasn’t there before, right?”

“No.” Guardian Angel Joan answered plainly. Ms. Mokfu frowned.

“Something’s stirring in the air, is it?” The Duel Monster stood silently by her guard’s side, agreeing silently with a blatant tension of a warrior. For the group of elementary students, they stirred as Yuna walked into the building. A tension surrounded the group, the obvious feeling of confusion and unknowing wrecking possible tempers. The four children jumped as Yuna knelt to the ground, taking the position of penance. Elisa was about to remark from behind her when Yuna spoke,

“I don’t know what happened yesterday. I know it was scary, and Tsukasa refuses to talk to me about it.” Oh? She was on a first name basis with Ayumu? Elisa was fairly certain she had never heard anyone having that privilege. “But I do know one thing, and this I can promise you.” Everyone watched as the dark-eyed teen brought a fist near her heart, over the card she hung across her neck. “I will not leave you guys. I’ll figure out what happened with you.” With her strong statement, she was left to be stared at.

“Big sis Yuna!” Claire was the first to say anything, immediately stumbling over to her, grasping the teen with a shocking amount of tears. Yuna grabbed the blonde, expecting her to be quicker than the others. Yuna blinked as Ryu was the second to move up to her, and even more surprising when he stretched his arms around her shoulders for a hug. Kayo must have came over because of Ryu but Yuna appreciated it nonetheless. Sakura was the only one who didn’t move closer.

“Um, I don’t know what’s going on here,” Elisa finally spoke, rubbing the back of her head sensing the awkwardness of the five. “But uh, I’m here to get my detention done and out of the way.” She lamely finished and watched the black girl in the room turn her nose at her and walk to a corner with a book, pick it up and start reading. Yuna lifted herself up and Elisa’s mouth twitched seeing the young woman’s eyes looked a little clouded.

Regardless Yuna helped Elisa through her detention easily, the children despite behind often described as demons seemed to get along with Yuna relatively well. When dinner was to start, Yuna told Elisa,

“Elly please take everyone to the cram school’s cafeteria, they usually get fed in here.”

“Gotta go to the bathroom?” Yuna laughed at the question,

“No, I’m just going to Sakura real quick,” Elisa noted that Sakura had at some time during the gathering had grabbed Yuna’s hand. “We’ll catch up.” Elisa nodded and gathered the giggling madly Claire by arm and piggy backed Ryu who’s throat against her skull made a nice vibration of cheer while Kayo demanded Elisa be careful with him. As the group left, Yuna squat down to the girl who was glaring at the ground.

“I think you’re a monster.” The sting of tears wanted to erupt but Yuna just bit her lip, hoping the girl would continue. “I’m the only one who thinks Ayumu should have beat you.” Yuna couldn’t help the sharp hurt chuckle escape. Sakura looked at her angrily.

“Yeah, you might be right Sakura.” Sakura looked taken aback at her confirmation. “I might be a monster that should have been beaten by Tsukasa, but I wasn’t, so all I can do is go under the assumption I’m not actually a monster.” She gave the girl a sorrowful smile, holding back on the hurt that was continue to build and build. “And even if I am a monster, I won’t hurt you guys, and that won’t change.”

“You could hurt other people.” Like Tsukasa was unspoken. Yuna clutched her arms, holding her trembling unstable emotions. Seeing as the older teen didn’t have an answer to her scathing sentence, Sakura continued, “But...as long as you really mean you won’t hurt us. Then I guess I don’t care.” Yuna blinked as Sakura brushed a part of her hair, looking obnoxiously snobby. The young girl moved to exit the building, turning around to give the teen a raspberry, negating the uptight classy girl she was to be childish. Yuna stared at the open door, slowly getting up.

No one could possibly know what was going to happen from now on, but Yuna knew that she had to face it head on, to protect those she wanted to be friends with. Yuna marched after, the sun trying to fall piercing her eyes with its glare. Just believe in yourself, the constant lesson given by each of the Kings in their own way.

She could do that.

Probably.

The girl down the road has cancer (A plance AU)

DISCLAIMER: THIS AU CONTAINS SENSITIVE TOPICS SUCH AS THE FOLLOWING; CANCER (SPECIFICALLY LEUKEMIA), NEEDLES USED FOR MEDICATION, DEPRESSION, SUICIDAL THOUGHTS, HOSPITALS, AND JUST OVERALL A REALLY FEELS FILLED AU THAT YOU ALL ASKED FOR. ENJOY THE PAIN I’VE WRITTEN FOR YOU, YOU HEATHENS (Love you guys tho o3o~<3)

Lance had lived in the same neighborhood his whole life so when a new family was moving in down the road it immediately peeked the interest of the seventeen year old

With a pie from his Mother in hand that served as a ‘Welcome to the neighborhood’ he walked to the newly occupied house and rang the bell

Matt, the eldest son of the Holt family answered the door which relieved Lance as most the occupants of the neighborhood were retired couples mixed with empty nesters

“I’d invite you in, but we are still unpacking and my parents want to ‘De-Germ’ themselves before going to see my sister.” Matt joked

“Is your sister a germaphobe or something?” Lance joked back

Matt’s smile faltered “Oh uhm..No..She’s sick.”

“Sick?” Lance asked feeling bad for the joke he made

“Yeah, she was recently diagnosed with Leukemia, she’s in the children’s hospital here because, they specialize in it, hence why we moved here.”

“Oh man...Well tell her that she’s in my families thoughts and prayers.”

Matt’s smile returned a bit “Thanks, Katie will be happy to hear we’ve already met some nice neighbors.”

Just then Matt’s Mom called and the two parted ways

Returning home Lance laid on his bed as he stared at his family portrait on is bedside table, he had no idea how he would handle it if any of his family members ended up getting that sick, the mere thought was enough for tears to sting his eyes. He decided in that moment that when he could, he would go see Katie and do his best to help her though this as a new friend whenever he didn’t have to be elsewhere.

In the hospital Katie sat listening to the machines around her, the constant beeping would have driven any normal person mad, but thanks to growing up around computers she was fairly used to all the many noises they could make

Looking towards her door she watched as one of her doctor came in “You better be here with peanut butter cookies Shiro.”

Shiro laughed as he took a seat on his stool “I’ll see what I can do about getting you some later, for now I need to ask you how you’re feeling right now before we start your first chemotherapy session.”

Katie sighed as she looked down to her hands, she had heard chemo was painful and drained your energy, even if it was supposed to make her feel better, she wasn’t ready to feel that way

“I’m okay..I just...” tears stung her eyes “It’s not fucking fair.”

“Language Katie..”

“I’m sorry but, it’s just...Last summer I was competing at the nationals for robotic design and now i’m..”

“Stuck in a bed.”

“Yeah.”

Shiro gently touched her shoulder “It’s going to be a hard journey Katie, but I can promise you it’s going to be worth is. We cure eighty percent or childhood cancer and though it isn’t good you got sick in the first case, your leukemia is still in it’s early stages which means that within the year you should be able to leave the hospital aside from monthly check ins.”

Katie knew eighty percent was a goo odd, but the twenty percent liked to weigh on her mind more

After discussing how she felt her first IV based chemotherapy session took place a few hours later once her family had arrived to support her

She felt lousy to the say the least

Her Mother’s grip on her hand was almost painful, but Katie knew her Mother was secretly worrying herself sick behind her strong wife and mom facade

As for her Father he looked as if he hadn’t slept since in who knows how long, actually she did, he hadn’t slept well since her diagnosis

Matt sat at the foot of her bed “A kid your age stopped by today, friendly guy, think he said his name was Lance? He said him and his family will keep you in their thoughts and prayers.”

“How nice of them, isn’t that wonderful Katie?” her Mother asked

Katie didn’t answer, she was feeling weaker by the minute

“We should let her rest.” Her Father finally spoke “We can take turns coming to see her tomorrow.”

Her Mother and Matt nodded before the three of them said their goodbye’s and I love you’s before Katie allowed the fatigue to take over

Months passed and what was left of Katie’s long sandy brown hair was becoming patchy due to her medicine, she hated it, the mere sight of the patches filled her with anger towards her body, how could she be so weak? Why couldn’t she just die already!?

She quickly backpedaled that thought as she looked to the picture o f her family that sat on her bed side tray

tears began to spill from her eyes as she screamed at the top of her lungs and threw her pillow across the room

Shiro quickly hurried in and was followed by a few nurses

He quickly hugged “Katie, Katie calm down, it’s okay.” he spoke softly as he calmed her down “Look at me.”

Katie slowly pulled her face away from his shoulder looking up at him

“Do I need to ask Adam to come talk to you? Would that help?”

Katie nodded, Adam was the teen therapist at the hospital as well as Shiro’s husband, the two of them keeping her sane when her family wasn’t around

Shortly afterwards Adam came in and gave Katie a small smile “Tough morning pidge?”

The sound of her nickname lifted her heart a bit, she hated how formal her name was beginning to sound.

“I...I don’t..”

“It’s okay, take you time.”

She nodded and took a deep breath “I...I keep getting these thoughts..”

“Thoughts?”

Another nod “I..I thought that maybe things would be easier..if i just..died.”

She noticed Adam’s face fall before he took of his glasses “Can you pinpoint why you thought that?”

“It’s just, if I hadn’t gotten sick my-”

“I’m going to stop you there, Katie, you did not choose to get sick and there wasn’t anything you could have done to prevent this.” he gave he a small smile “You’re getting better, I know the medicine makes you feel gross, but that means it’s working and if it’s working then that means you’re nearly out of here.”

Katie held a fistful of her blanket “..Things will never be normal again will they?”

“Well.” Adam paused “There is no such thing as normal, life likes to throw us curve balls just to mess with us, but the best way to hit them for a home run is adaptation.”

“What do you mean?” Katie asked

“Change is a part of life, it itself is basically the curve ball, if you allow the change to come, you can hit it and show life that you’re not backing down.”

Katie smiled a bit “Just like with my cancer..”

Adam’s smile widened “Exactly, you’re showing life that you’re going to fight to live, that change won’t stop you.”

Katie opened her arms and Adam chuckled giving her a hug “Anything else?”

“I..Could we shave my head?”

Adam blinked in shock “Are you sure?”

Katie nodded “It’s not weakness...It’s progression.”

Lance had been stopping by ever since he was given the okay, at first he only came when Matt was there but, after getting a bit closer to Katie he began to come see her after his chores

“Afternoon Ka-” he paused see Katie wearing a green knitted beanie that looked like it had little cat ears

“Cat got your tongue McClain?”“ Katie asked as she forced herself to eat her lunch

“You cut it off-er I mean, not that it looks bad!” Lance rubbed the back of his neck

“It’ll grow back once i’m finally in remission.”

Lance took a seat in the chair by her bed “Any word when that’ll be?”

“Well it’s been nearly half a year..Weird to think it’s nearly Christmas.” Katie aid looking to the Christmas lights that one of her nurses had hung up for her

“So half a year to go then.” Lance said trying to keep the air happy

“Yeah..” she looked down at the cold tomato soup and sighed “I just..If I get one Christmas miracle it will be that i’m out of here before my sixteenth birthday.”

“When is that?” he asked sipping his water

“April 3rd”

“I mean, that’s not a crazy wish, it’s only two months short of a year.”

“I’ve had to do my sophomore year online, which isn’t bad, but I wish I at least had friends- well other then you I mean, life real classmates.” she sighed

“Well if you’re in remission that means you’ll get to come to school next year and bask in my seniority.”

“If you don’t get held back” she snorted

“W o w.” he flicked a chip at her

Katie laughed “Hey!”

A smile crossed Lance’s face, he secretly loved it whenever she laughed, it made his heart happy to see her happy

The first time he met her she could barely even speak to him and now here she was laughing with him

“Oh right! Did you ask Allura to the prom yet?” Katie asked sipping her juice

“That’s like asking if I, a lowly farmer, have taken the hand of a princess.” Lance huffed

“Oh please, just ask her out already you pansy.”

“What about you?”

Katie blink “What about me?”

“If i’m at the prom then who will be here with you?”

Katie fanned her hand hiding the slight blush that colored her cheeks “I’ll be fine, i’ll just make fun of your monkey suit another day.”

He snorted “I’ll have you know I look great in a tux.”

“Cause you’re a monkey.”

As Katie’s birthday drew closer she began to think she was stuck until June, but then, two days before her birthday, Shiro came in

“Are you ready to go home?”

“Shiro that’s not funny, I know it’s April fools day, bu-”

He shook his head “You’re officially in remission Katie.”

Katie felt tears sting her eyes “You promise you’re not joking?”

He nodded “We went over you last charts and it seems that your leukemia is nearly gone, we’ll need you to come on for monthly check ups though.”

Katie was sobbing into her hands, she couldn’t believe it, she was going to finally leave the hospital after nearly a year

After hugging her Shiro left to call her parents, and Katie, well Katie called Lance

“He..Hello? Katie? Katie it’s five in the m-”

“They are releasing me today!”

“Wait what?!”

“I’m in remission Lance! I got my wish.”

Lance smiled “Will you get to come to school for the last month?”

“I doubt that, I’ll have to wait till next term, but that means we can hang out this summer.’

“Oh yeah! And you can finally meet my friend Hunk, you’ll love the big guy, he’s great!”

The two talked well until Lance had to leave for school and soon enough Katie was standing in front of her new home

“It’s not truly home but-” Her dad began but she cut him of

“Wherever you guys are is home..”

Her parents and Matt hugged her tightly before heading in

Baebae quickly bounding towards her girl who she had missed oh no much

By the time Lance got out of school Katie had finally gotten her room to her liking

With a knock Katie allowed him in

Lance walked in and couldn’t wipe the smile of his face as Katie stood there watering some succulents

“Not gonna miss that hospital smell.” he joked

she giggled ‘I’m not gonna miss it at all.” she sat down on her bed

“So are you okay to leave the house?” he asked

“I’m supposed to take it easy for a bit, my body is already sore from just moving back home.” Katie admitted

Understanding Katie had to think about her health he settled or the two of them catching up on RWBY on her laptop

As prom got closer the more Lance was beginning to worry about prom, he had wanted to ask Allura, but here recently he guessed his crush had faded

When he thought about about the type of girl he liked he came to a very quick conclusion

He liked Katie

However Katie couldn’t come to prom seeing as it wouldn’t be safe for her, because if she got sick again he would never forgive himself

So, he got an idea

Come prom night Katie heard a knock down stairs and went to answer it to find Lance standing on her front porch in his tuxedo whilst holding a bouquet of flowers

“Wow you do actually clean up nice.” Katie smiled “Are you on your way to pick up Allura?”

“Nope.” he held the bouquet out to her

Her cheeks turned slightly red “What are these for?” she asked taking them

“Well, this is my way of asking you to my personal prom.”

“Personal prom?”

He nodded “I was just gonna dance the night away by myself, but I thought it would be more fun with you.”

She snorted “You’re such a dork.”

“Only for you.”

The two went up to her room and turned on some music

Matt and her parents even joining in at times

Between dancing they took video game breaks and before either of them realized it was well past midnight

Katie laughed as she laid back on her beanbag holding her wii remote up in victory “I win!”

“Only because you blue shelled me on the second lap!” Lance huffed

“Oh shush you hit me with a bullet in the first lap.”

“Touche.”

There was was a knock on her door and the two looked up to see her dad standing there

“You two should get some sleep it’s late, Lance if you want you can sleep downstairs.”

“It’s alright, it’s not like I live far.” he smiled getting up “I’ll see you tomorrow Katie.” he waved as he grabbed his suit jacket and left

Sam followed him out “Hey Lance.”

Lance turned to look at him “Yes Mr.Holt?”

“My students call me Mr.Holt, feel free to call me Sam.”

he nodded

“I just wanted to thank you for befriending Katie, she didn’t have a lot of friends outside her robotics team back at home, so when she got sick it was easy to tell she felt alone.”

Lance smiled “She’s a cool girl..It’s an honor just to get to be her friend.”

Sam chuckled a bit “Probably would be a bigger honor to be her boyfriend huh?”

Lance turned red as he gave a nervous laugh “I-I mean.”

Sam laid a hand on his shoulder “Relax, I think you’re good for her so, if you ever want to ask her out one of these days you have my blessing.”

Lance felt a smile come over his face “Alright, good night Mr- Sam!” and with that he headed home unable to wipe the grin off his face

Summer came and Katie sat in Lance’s back yard reading as Lance swam in his pool

“Katie come on the water is nice!” Lance whined

“I already told you I don’t want to swim.” Katie laughed

In all honesty, she actually didn’t know how

However the next thing she knew a wet Lance was throwing her over his shoulder causing her to drop her book “Lance don-”

But it was too late, the boy already jumped in the pool

When they came up for air Katie was coughing and clinging onto Lance for dear life

“See it fee-..Are you okay?” he asked worried when he felt her shaking

“I can’t swim.” she admitted coughing up some water

Lance immediately felt like shit “Why didn’t you tell me?”

“It’s embarrassing, i’m sixteen and can’t go past the five foot line..”

“I could always teach you? Then we can go on a beach date!”

Katie blinked blushing slightly “Date?”

Lance quickly realized what he said “I-I mean if you-”

She laughed splashing him with a bit of water “Date it is.”

//Thank you guys or being patient with me
