#I can't think of the actual poly name I'm tired

[m-i-r-p]

Alright, SO

I don't need to explain why kaebedo and cynonari are good. You guys know.

BUT (and here's the thing) we have Rizzbedo. He knew what he was going with Cyno (and then Tighnari's bombastic side eye, bit I digress).

That could be a thing. So why, WHY is nobody talking about the Kaeya-Albedo-Tighnari-Cyno.

They're smart. Three of them are researchers, three of them are in their nation-specific-military force, three of them are sassy as fuck and have rizz. ALSO the purple-blue-green-yellow gradient of the ship is great.

So yes. Them.

Hello there, can i get uhhhh railao x reader x johnshi with tomas on top, please 🥺🥺 sfw and nsfw if you fancy

cw. a bit of fluff and a fuck ton of nsfw, afab!reader + Tomas, johnshi and railao poly relationship, threesomes/foursomes (you get the idea), oral, face sitting, overstimulation, praise, degradation, hair pulling, fingering, creampie, cum play, a bit of a spit kink, cum eating, handjob, masturbation, voyeurism *not proofread, just pure horny

[I don't know how I managed to write this much 😭😭 I think it was the sheer amount of horny] I tried to keep this gender-neutral but I'm too horny and these boys deserve some top-tier pussy

Like I said in the other version

They all pined over Tomas

But when you get thrown into the mix, it increases tenfold

Yknow how I talked about the boys pining over Tomas?

Yeah imagine that but with you

Although Tomas asks inquiries you to join them after a few weeks because he can't take it anymore

So now it's johnshi and railao + Tomas and you :))

Okay horny time now im having too many thoughts

You thought you and Tomas were being doted on before?

Well now that you're both another addition to a poly relationship, it's a lot more now

Each of them would fall face first and trip over one another just to be your first choice

But you can have anything and everything you could ever desire

Tomas and Raiden give in the easiest to you

Kung Lao too but his resolve is just a bit stronger than those two

Anyways, Tomas and Raiden

They're handsy, oh so handsy

Real big on giving

They'd prioritize your pleasure and safety before anything

Tomas loves to give you head and Raiden praises both of you

Sitting in raidens lap while Tomas eats you out >>>

Raidens caressing your hips while he coos out soft praises

Tomas holding your thighs open while he kitten licks at your clit

Getting soft neck kisses from Raiden and small shocks to your inner thighs

Tomas gets so lost in your taste and the pretty sounds you're making that he unknowingly overstims you

Raiden has to pull Tomas away from you because you're shaking and so so sensitive :((

But Raiden gives you more soft kisses to make up for it

Raiden loves to have you against the bed so he can pin your hips down

But he doesn't mind having you sit on his face

It's okay if you're tired darling, he'll move your hips for you <33

And when they actually fuck you, it's a great time

Raiden goes first, so he has you ride him

He wants you to look him in the eyes as you bounce on his dick

He loves when your eyes flutter and you nearly roll your eyes into the back of your head

Pulls you down so he can latch his mouth around your nipples

Def leaves soft hickeys around your chest

Grabs your face gently, and shakes your head to keep your eyes on him

Tells you to "give Tomas a nice show for me, yea?"

Loves how your thighs shake and twitch when you're close

Loves to make you cum around his cock so he can feel you clench and squeeze around him

Raiden lets out soft moans and breathy groans but he whimpers when he's close

Tries to pull out but you just feel so fucking good that he ends up coming inside you

Lifts you off him so he can see his cum leak out of you

Tomas nearly cums right then and there

His eyes are glued to your cum slicked hole, fluttering as you clench around nothing

Tomas simply straddles raidens legs, pushing your chest down to his

He's whining softly as he slowly pushes in

Fucks into you with harsh thrusts bc he's so lost in you

Hides his face in your neck because he got flustered when he made eye contact with Raiden

Raiden pushes him off you and pulls you around to press your back to his chest

He tells you to "watch how pretty he looks when he fucks you."

Holds your face up so you have to look at Tomas

You're both equally fucked out

Just losing it only two orgasms in

Calling out Raidens name bc you can feel his cock twitch against your ass

Kung Lao bursting through the door because he wanted to see his darlings only to see them having their own fun

Tomas whimpers when you tighten around his cock, sucking him in even more and milking him for all he's worth

Kung Lao carding a hand through Tomas' hair, pulls his head back and goes "Hm, seems like you three are having a lot of fun, huh?"

Kung Lao crawls onto the bed to kneel behind Tomas, who then leans back into him

Kung Lao takes Tomas' cock into his hand and jerks him off while planting sweet kisses along his neck and shoulders

Raiden tugs your body up, to have your pretty and used cunt up against his leaking cock

He wraps a hand around the base of his cock to tap his tip against your swollen clit

You move to sit up, straddling Raiden reverse cowgirl and wasting no time in sinking onto his cock again

Tomas who reached behind him to tug at Kung Lao's pants, pushing and shoving his hand beneath the fabric so he can pull his cock out

Tomas who jerks Kung Lao off in time with him while they all watch you bump and grind yourself against Raiden

Kung Lao is more of a heavy groan and low grunter but he gets high-pitched if you rub against his sensitive spots aka the underside of his t

Tomas knows this and focuses there while dipping his thumb into his slit.

Johnny and Kenshi drop by just to cool down after training

Barely paying attention to the lewd moans and skin-on-skin as they each strip themselves of their button-ups that were seconds away from becoming a second-skin

Johnny openly stares at the tattoos on Kenshi's body, trailing them with his eyes as they lead down further than his waistband

Kenshi finally spoke up about the increasing volume of moaning coming from the bedroom. "So, you wanna join in?"

Kenshi is already walking towards the door and Johnny is stuck in place to ogle at the ink covering Kenshi's back

Side note; I only added this part with Johnny and Kenshi because the mental image of Kenshi shirtless has been plaguing me (I want to lick his tattoos) anyway back to the fic

Kenshi simply leans against the door frame with his arms crossed and observes

You catching sight of him from the corner of your eye, jaw going slack as you tried to focus on getting the orgasm you wanted

But with Kenshi standing there, in his half-naked glory with his tattoos glistening with sweat, it made it hard to not cum almost immediately

Johnny came up to stand behind him, his arms crossed in a similar manner

Peering over at Kenshi with teary eyes as you spear yourself open on Raidens cock, calling out to him as your eyes roll back into your skull

Johnny pressing up against Kenshi from behind just to press his hands to his hardening dick

Johnny palmed Kenshi over his dress pants and grinding against his own leaking cock again Kenshi's ass

Kenshi walks over to tilt your head to face him, cooing when tears stream down your face. "Yeah, does it feel good, baby? Like having a big cock split you open?"

Raiden is one more orgasm away from shooting blanks; the way your warm cunt wrapped around him felt like you wrapped your hands around his soul

Kenshi looking over at Raiden and pressing a kiss to his lips as he came again

Grabbing at Kenshi's thigh as your hips slow down, lifting yourself off of Raiden to feel thick globs of cum leak out of you

Johnny pulling you to the edge of the bed so he can eat you out from the back

Kenshi watched Johnny be a whore and lap at the sticky cum that coats your swollen pussy and pulsing clit

Kenshi harshly tugged Johnny away by his hair, shoving him out of the way so he could turn you around

Kenshi holding your face in his hands while your own hand palms him over his pants

Tugging his belt loose and unbuttoning his pants, pushing them down past his thighs

Pulling away from Kenshi to kiss down his chest to his waist

Pumping his shaft with one hand while the other pushed against the edge of the bed to keep you upright

Pressing light kisses to his rosy tip, lapping at the pearls of precum that dribbled from his slit

Wrapping your lips around the head, dipping your tongue further into his slit

Meanwhile, Johnny is kneeling behind you with his pants around his thighs because he can't wait a second longer to be inside you

Johnny bottoms out quickly, forcing your head down Kenshi's cock

Gagging and sputtering around Kenshi's cock as Johnny has his way with you

But don't worry, he'll take good care of his baby <33

Constant praise from both Johnny and Kenshi plus the content and amused hums from the men around you

Hearing "so fucking good for us, aren't you baby?" "fuck, you feel so good." "look so pretty like this, all fucked out for us, huh?"

Back to Kenshi; moaning around his dick as Johnny's fast and brutal thrusts have you deep-throating him

Hollowing your cheeks as you run your tongue along the underside of his cock

Kenshi tangling his hand into your hair and pushing it out of your face so he can see the way tears line your eyes and spill down your cheeks

Feeling the metal of Johnny's belt smack against your inner thigh as he fills you over and over

Losing your balance as Johnny knocks his tip against your sweet spots so you have to brace yourself on Kenshi's thighs

Feeling his muscles twitch and jump under your palm as you bob your head along his length

Kenshi who pulls out of your mouth so he can stroke himself in front of your face

Pushes the tip into your mouth last second so he can spill his seed in your warm and wet mouth

Makes you open your mouth for him to spit into before making you swallow

He definitely makes out with you afterward

Maybe pressing his thumb against your tongue to keep your mouth open and watch you drool over yourself

Back to Johnny; can't not cum in you

Simply can not bring himself to pull out

He loves how tightly your cunt wraps around him when he fills you up

Loves your soft whimpers as he fucks his cum back into you when it leaks out

Quick thought; sucking hickeys into Kenshi's hips and waist while Johnny fingers his cum back into you

You'll never be neglected by these boys

They'll always find a way

Oh yea, phone sex is common with Johnny too

It doesn't matter if he's supposed to be working

He's a man with needs for his sexy partners

Sending Johnny nudes with any one of the boys as an incentive to get him home quicker

[soursvgar]

Luci loves his little brothers (and you) to death, and he tries his best to give you the freedom of choice. but once he actually witness you having any physical connection with another he can't keep playing fair 🤭 (a/n: i'm sorry if luci is a bit mean 😭 he's just a gemini and we can be like that when we're jealous sometimes lolol)

gn! reader, lowkey poly reader, not exactly nsfw since nothing sexual happens but maybe mentions of? and kisses? also i didn't mean to make it slightly angsty but it just happened ^^" oops

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

"I think that's enough workout for me." You pant out with your last breath, laying on the floor in the twins' room with the remaining reserve of your energy.

"I agree- although, I had these thoughts for about an hour now." Belphegor states before claiming the spot on the ground next to you.

"Belphie, you only worked out for five minutes... y/n and I were the ones grinding on our own for the past hour while you were on your rest break." Beel shakes his head and sits down besides the two of you, taking a sip of his protein drink. "Well in that case, I'll go eat my lunch now."

"I thought you had your lunch before our workout session?" You question, however, by now you weren't actually surprised with the occurrence of Beel becoming hungry again already.

"This will be my second lunch then." He exclaims cheerfully before standing up and walking out of the room, leaving the two of you to it.

"I'm tired, y/n... let's take a nap together?" Belphegor turns his head slightly toward you, batting his eyelashes as his bottom lip jut out in a pout, as if you needed any more persuasion. You return a nod and gesture to his bed, only to face resistance in the form of a stubborn head shake. "Come on, your bed is right there. You can get up..." You voice the last part with hesitation laced in your tone- truth is, you were unsure if he can, even five minutes of physical activity could lull him to sleep right then and there on the cold parquet.

"Fine, I'll just have to make it harder for you to stay on the floor." You tease, making your way to sit on top of him with your hands pressed against his chest. Nonetheless, Belphegor stands his ground, unnerved by your actions.

"You're going to have to do better than that to make me move, if anything it gives me more of a reason to stay where I am." He smiles mischievously, arms snaking around your legs and up to your hips where they settle. "Besides, I didn't mean that we should nap in my bed here. I was actually thinking about the attic, where we can..." He takes a short pause, eyes not leaving yours as the playful smile still tug onto his lips. "Sleep- uninterrupted."

You chuckle, trying to mask the fact that your cheeks are easily tinted at his words alone, yet you were aware that nothing gets past Belphegor, and that he will use it against you. You extend your arms towards him and pull him to sit upright once he grabs onto your hold, but you immediately doubt your decision when his gaze fixates on you, trailing over your features.

"You know that I love it when you blush, right? Don't look away." He entraps your chin between his index finger and his thumb, guiding your face to close the distance between your pair and his own before he capture your lips in a gentle kiss. "Now... what can you promise me in order for me to follow you to an actual bed? I know you fragile humans don't like sleeping on the ground as much these days." He inquires as he pull away, awaiting your pitch.

"Hm, well... I can promise a steamy makeout session?" You try out your luck, watching for his response while his fingers run under the hem of your shirt, lightly imprinting circles onto the bare skin of your back.

"Pass. You would give it to me anyway. I can easily get it out of you." Belphegor smirks. "All I have to do to make you blush is say your name." He grants you with a smug smile, loving the way your face twist in annoyance- making it obvious to him that he indeed hit the exact spot. "Tell you what, I'll make it easy for you. If you promise me back rubs and cuddles every night for the rest of the month, just me alone, without any of my brothers. Then we have a deal."

"All that for you to get up from the floor and take a nap with me in a real bed?" You cock an eyebrow, earning a bewildered look from the youngest.

"Are you calling me demanding, y/n?" Belphegor grins and softly assist you off of his lap, then proceeds to stand up and help you on your feet as well. "Alright then, let's settle on two weeks."

Instead of feeding his ego further you suffice with shaking your head at him and follow him outside the room. The two of you make your way to the grand staircase leading to the attic before the youngest abruptly stop in his tracks, sighing.

"It's so far up, y/n, are you sure you want to go all the way there? I'm going to need some kind of motivation if you want me to continue."

You have to give it to the youngest siblings for always knowing how to manipulate their way into getting what they want- but you also had to admit it totally worked on you. You pull him closer to you, placing a soft kiss to his lips as you extend your arm to blindly search for the rail behind you. Taking a step backwards, you urge him to follow while you climb one stair at a time. Belphegor quietly allow you to lead the way, arms secured around your waist, squeezing tight for extra protection- since you are in fact, blindly climbing a spiral staircase.

"How's that for motivation?" You pause amidst the course for reassurance that your plan is indeed working, however, the only reply you receive was a hushed grunt and a nudge to your frame as to encourage you to keep climbing. Success.

Suddenly, an unexpected tap on your shoulder interrupts your exchange of laughter; both Belphegor and you freeze as if you were caught committing an atrocious crime. You bite your lip, slowly detaching yourself from the youngest as you turn to face the owner of the hand resting on your shoulder.

"I'm afraid y/n won't be joining your catnap, Belphegor, as we have urgent matters to discuss." Lucifer clears his throat before he scans the other with disdain. "Shall I escort you to my office, or do you have to kiss your pet goodbye first, y/n?"

A pang of guilt settles inside you as you feel Belphegor's grip loosen around your waist, his face hidden from your vicinity when he lets go of you, advancing up the stairs on his own. Lucifer on the other hand is indifferent, only offering his arm to you once his younger brother is out of sight. He leads you back down and away to his study and closes the door behind you.

"So, what's the important matter we have to discuss?" You watch Lucifer strut towards his desk, humming while he leans back, arched against the hardwood table. He observes you quietly, as if he's expecting you to be the one to tell him what brought you around. At this point, your thoughts are a mess. Both Belphegor and yourself apprehend that denying any of Lucifer's wishes never ends well for anyone, and if he calls for you, it means you must immediately adhere. Regardless, it pained you to see Belphegor's reaction, being obviously nicked by his brother's sneer. "You didn't have to be mean to him, you know?" you assert, having had enough of his power play.

"These documents need your attention." Lucifer dismisses your remark and use his head to point towards a pile of papers to his side, laying neatly on his desk. He raises one hand, signalling for you to step closer towards him. You do as he instructs and reach for the documents to his side, but Lucifer plays his move first, straddling you and draping his arms over your sides.

"You're right, I was rude to Belphie." His eyes meet yours with an apologetic gaze. "I didn't intend to. I really do try, y/n... I want to allow you the license to do as you please. I whole heartedly do." He sighs, taking your hand in his. "And I didn't mean to pry, I truthfully was in the attic for different reasons. But when I saw you with my brother... I couldn't turn a blind eye anymore. It's one thing when I'm aware of it in theory, but actually witnessing it- well... my point is, you're mine, y/n. Or at least, you should be. I want you to be."

Your eyes trail to the stack of documents, realizing they were outdated budgeting files that most likely had nothing to do with you.

"There was no urgent matter, was there, Lucifer?" You stand still within his grip, unsure whether you're disappointed with his behaviour, or your lack of. You could have declined his request if you really wanted to, but, did you really want to? It seems as if you will have to start being more decisive in the coming days, or situations like these will keep arising.

"I'm afraid the only urgency was to separate you from my brother. I apologize, y/n."

thoughts on today’s volume! first of all, i jumped for joy when i realised it was a girls’ choice recoupling … i pray that FB finally puts that tired ass “delulu bombshell picking you no matter how many times you reject them” plot line to rest . speaking of delulu bombshells, tyler really should've put his eggs in someone else's basket 😭 his (unique, not inevitably merged with the other LIs) personality is nice, he was just not the one for me . there's yet another discussion about ~connections~ during the date. hm...

incredibly pointless drama with whatever girl has beef with MC, in my case sophie . i'm not bothered that she flirts with jin, and it ended up being a fake out anyways, later on she picks jack at the recoupling . truly a low budget version of the lottie/gary/returning hannah drama

then the heartbreaker challenge was an obstacle course ? 😭 i thought it was going to be a lie detector test . anyways i gave claudia my heart, and she gave me … half her heart (i gave jin the diamond scene heart) honestly if there was a poly route with claudia and theo i’d be downnnnn, but theo is getting very jealous . more on that in a little bit

of course i didn't know this while playing, but whoever you gave your (free) heart to wins the challenge, and takes you on the date . i thought claudia just won by default, and was expecting her to pick theo so this was a really nice surprise ❤️❤️❤️

back to the guys, jin and tyler are so ... i don't have the words for it . Unserious! i didn't include it above, but when i picked claudia during the heartbreaker challenge they were deadass like "Where are you going?" & "Wrong direction?" 😭 moving on.

eavesdropped on the explosive, juicy argument between claudia and theo . shockingly well written, but i think the previous seasons have significantly lowered my standards . here’s a very abridged version:

after this there's an option to check on theo (or just go get ready LMAO) . i thought he would be tense but weirdly enough he was genuinely happy to see MC ? at least, there was absolutely nothing indicating that it was in a fake/strained way ? Girl...

picked jin at the recoupling, byeee tyler . you seemed nice but it's a chop

i was like, mentally checked out during his exit diamond scene so i can't give a proper summary . all i know is that there was two more bombshells, named christy and brad . claudia kissed them both . blah blah blah. theo did indeed kiss OG girl rachel, and they actually acknowledged that theo used to be a player . tyler said he thinks theo matured , but those old ways are coming back to the surface 👀 (theo kinda gives me levi energy: gorgeous, but he ain't shit)

one more thing, i'm honestly not sure if the theme is zodiac anymore, i feel like FB would have or...should have introduced it by now . the theme genuinely might just be "constant barrage of bombshells in the villa" 😭😭😭

My older Mixels stuff still gets some likes, but actually I've been going through and redoing all my character renders and making modifications to colors and builds. Basically so my characters can be built in real life. I'm making instructions too.

Why not start with my custom...

Series 10

Since I'm pretending to carry on from where the canon series left off. The only weird thing though... Is that there's one character in series 10 I didn't actually make. A small Lego creator cat poly bag. I just treat them like a Mixel, because when I saw it on the shelf it reminded me of my love for the Mixels series and kicked off the creative storm that would lead to hundreds of Custom characters lol.

The Fluffeez

No one knows where this tribe of animal-like Mixels came from. But they started popping up in the central park of Mixopolis. They're so cute and fluffy though, so no one really questioned it.

Meowzer: (the original cat poly bag) is the street smart leader. While not malicious,he knows how to use his looks and charms to get what he and his tribe need. He also often has to keep his tribe mates out of trouble, which leaves him tired enough for multiple cat naps.

Ruffle: Ruffle is the rough and tumble member of the tribe and the most playful. He seems to be full of boundless energy and is often begging others to play fetch or chase. He sometimes ends up running right into trouble by mistake, which Meowzer has to bail him out of.

Hoppz: Hoppz is shy and skittish. They're easily startled by sudden noises and big looking threats... But if you offer a carrot and are quiet and peaceful, then Hoppz will end up being your best friend.

The Mixies Cousins

Because the Mixies were my favorite tribe from series 7, I figured I'd make a expansion to them. While not a requirement, I tried sticking to the naming scheme of the original tribe.

Tunzy: Tunzy is a cheerful Mixel known to play catchy and bouncy tunes on his piano teeth that captivate others to the point they can't help but dance. This includes Tunzy himself... He's just a bit of a clumsy dancer.

Drumsy: if you ever need a strong beat to march to, then Drumsy is just the Mixel to call. He's always marching around and drumming a steady rhythm. Think you can keep in time to his beat?

Strumzy: Strumzy isn't really one to use his words. This Mite Mixel may not speak, but he can still pluck at your heart strings with his music. He's surprisingly quite expressive when he starts playing music.

The Brutherwoodz

The Brutherwoodz are a mysterious forest dwelling tribe who have just now realized a big city has been built nearby. Thankfully,their neck of the woods has been marked as a nature preservation.

Treelo: the oldest and wisest of the Brutherwoodz, and thus the leader. Though he is also a little lazy. The only reason he started growing apples on his branches was so he wouldn't have to move as often to get food.

Sproutz: this forest Mixel is a bit of a gremlin, gnawing on rocks and rooting for mushrooms in his free time, and really just getting messy the rest of the time. The only thing that really scares him is scissors or other sharp objects.

Brambell: Brambell is a cheeky prankster who likes to climb on trees... Before jumping down to spook unsuspecting people passing by. He finds the reactions priceless, but sometimes his vine fingers get really tangled and that can be pretty annoying.

Bonus: the Nixels get their own render! From left to right, these Nixels come with Ruffle, Tunzy, and Sproutz respectively.

Due to the ten image limit, the Maxes will get their own post... Along with the link to the instructions.

Happy valentine's Day!

Here it is, the valentine's Day fic I promised. It's got some beni-kyoya cousins au, as well as hurt comfort and poly tamakyoharu.

Tw for mentions of lesphobia and the word wh*re.

"Good afternoon."

"Still so curt? No affection for your dear cousin? Tech, typical man."

Kyoya sighed, rolling his eyes behind his glasses. He sat in the club room, watching Tamaki fawn over his girlfriend more so than usual. It was valentine's day; a european holiday that Tamaki seemed to take very seriously. He had already had to put up with watching him pamper and praise Haruhi on white day, but this seemed worse for some reason. Tamaki used to only want to share his culture with Kyoya- and maybe it was a little selfish to think so; but Kyoya couldn't help but feel bitter.

"Did you know they were dating?"

"Who?" Beni asked, knowing damn well there was only one couple they both had emotional investments in. Even if Beni's was less of a crush and more of a saviour complex- Kyoya couldn't be bothered to judge her, she was the only one who really matched him in cruel commentary. "Your boyfriend and the maiden?"

Looking out at the room decked out in red and white- paper and glass hearts hanging from the ceiling as velvet cushions and silk tablecloths adorned each table. Kyoya could hear Tamaki telling Haruhi how beautiful he found her, and he could hear her dismissing him in that tired way that she does when she'd just a little too fatigued to fight his affections. She just sits there and accepts it. That makes Kyoya slightly nauseous.

"Ugh, he's not my boyfriend, Beni. You know this. If I was the one being subjected to this gross display of affections then you'd hear me complaining about it, instead I'm going to complain about Haruhi's new haircut."

"Yeah, whatever. The maiden got a haircut?"

"She has a name, but yeah; she just cut it even shorter and I'm pretty sure she shaved some of the lower parts- it looks like yours if your hair was roadkill."

Haruhi's hair wasn't even that bad, Kyoya actually thought Haruhi looked really nice like this, but it made him cringe to recall the colossal tantrum that Tamaki had thrown when he found out Haruhi didn't want to keep her hair at the length it had grown to- despite said length barely brushing her shoulders. The whistle from the other end of the phone made it a little more worth it though.

"Damn, you know you shouldn't bring a woman down just because you're a jealous little asshole, you know?"

Kyoya sighed heavily, "I'm sorry, is miss saviour complex kidnapper talking to me about this? You're the reason there's a myth about predatory lesbians."

Beni gasped at that and Kyoya had to bite back a smirk as the other hosts ran around teasing Tamaki and bothering Haruhi- at least they weren't bothering him.

"You bitch! You can't say that! I'm not the one crushing on an overly affectionate man! Bet you get all hot and bothered every time he hugs you- men like you are all perverts anyway."

"Are you ever going to get any new insults? You just say the same generalised thing every time, it's beginning to get boring."

"Oh yeah?" She responded, “give me something to work with then; what are your perverted gang of idiots up to anyway?"

"The morons?" He smiled a little, watching the twins making a show of enjoying the chocolates Haruhi made for each of them whilst Tamaki threw another tantrum. "Well thing one and two are annoying Tamaki as usual, it seems this time they can't even eat food without it being a performance."

"Gross!" Beni chuckled, "are they using it as an-"

"As an innuendo? Yep, I think they do it because Tamaki can't actually put any real stop to it without dropping that squeaky clean thing he's got going on."

"What squeaky clean thing?" Watching this nonsense was tiring, but Kyoya didn't mind much, at least it was better than watching Haruhi receive unwarranted attention. "He's the closest he can get to being a hooker without the school board putting their foot down."

"You think so? Have you met his father? You know; head of the school board? School chairman? Mr Yuzuru South himself? Apple doesn't fall all too far I'm afraid."

"Oooh!" Beni seemed amused by that as Kyoya turned his attention back to the finances- trying to tune out the sound of his friends. "So you're willing to mock your boyfriend and his family?"

"A: he's not my boyfriend, B: I'm self aware enough to see how ridiculous he is- they all are."

"Kyoya, that's incredibly contradictory; you can't say you're self aware and then deny that he's your boyfriend."

"He's literally in a relationship with Haruhi, I don't know how else I can explain that to you- or are you just that dense? Maybe you're in denial; is it too upsetting that straight people exist?"

"Yes actually."

Raising a coffee cup to his lips, Kyoya had to genuinely hold back laughter at that, coughing on a mouthful of the stuff and raising his cup in response to Mori glancing at him in concern. Big dumb bastard…

"I'll toast to that, fair enough. Although really, what makes you think he's my boyfriend?"

A pause, Kyoya glanced back over at the club to see that Honey had begun to 'help' Haruhi but the sweets away while the twins bickered about where or not the cups all came from the same set- it was nice to see them bicker for once…

"Doesn't he literally kiss you on the hands and cheeks and stuff sometimes?"

Kyoya almost choked for the second time during that short while they'd been talking, coughing slightly as Mori looked at him again. "Shut up, Mori-senpai keeps looking at me; he's going to hear us."

"He's literally half mute! He's not gonna say shit!"

"Good point, you have a point there," Kyoya had to agree. He sighed and gazed over at Haruhi and- shit where did Tamaki go?

"Mon Ami!" Arms suddenly wrapped around Kyoya, holding him tight as Tamaki hugged him from behind, taking Kyoya by surprise. "Who are you talking to? You're missing out on all our fun!"

On the other end of the phone, Beni snorted. Kyoya sighed and looked up at Tamaki in annoyance, "that's none of your concern, I would like to get back to my phone call if you don't mind."

Beni chuckled, listening to the conversation, "oh no, by all means; spend more time with your boyfriend."

Putting the phone down, face down, Kyoya sighs and glared up at Tamaki, "is there something you need?"

Tamaki pouted at that, whining. "Maaammaa! You're so meeaann! I just wanna hang out with youu!"

"Ugh," Kyoya rolled his eyes, getting really annoyed with the fact that Tamaki still decided to show him so much attention despite the fact that he was so far out of Kyoya's reach. "Shouldn't you be showering your girlfriend with attention right now? Before she starts to get jealous."

Making a sound not unlike a kicked puppy, Tamaki slinked away from Kyoya and returned to Haruhi's side, where she awkwardly pats him on the back. They were talking now, and Kyoya couldn't make out the words, so why should he care? He picked up the phone again, sighing and continuing the conversation with Beni, "I'm getting tired of this shit, he keeps trying to pester me when he's got Haruhi to pester."

"He's your boyfriend, you idiot, of course he wants to 'shower you with affections' as you so lovingly put it."

"Will you shut up about that?" Kyoya snapped back, getting really tired, and really damn upset with it at this point. "If he was, then Haruhi wouldn't be in the goddamn picture, would she?"

Beni's tone noticeably softened, and she sighed, "oh you stupid whore…" he could hear her take a deep breath before she spoke, "you know how I have two girlfriends, right?"

"Uh huh?"

"Is it really so impossible that the moron is under the impression that he's dating the both of you? And just haven't actually told you that yet?"

"Oh come on, I know he's dumb but he's not that dumb. You're just mocking me now, and not even in an entertaining way, leave me alone now."

And with that, Kyoya hung up. He sighed and leant back in his chair, accidentally making eye contact with Mori, who looked almost confused. Although it was hard to read any emotion on that guy's face. "Oh come on," Kyoya defended himself, partly to Mori but mostly to himself, "I'm right, aren't I?"

_______________________________________

A few moments later, the time came to leave and Kyoya put his laptop back into his bag- sighing. He had maybe been too harsh today; what with him snapping at both Tamaki and Beni, but they were both annoying him, and he had a right to not be annoyed. It didn't matter, he was going to go home, he was going to eat the sweets he'd received from the guests and the cookies his sister made him every year, then he was going to read a trashy romance novel and then head to bed. It was his yearly tradition for both white day and valentine's day, he wasn't usually a romantic man, but entire days surrounding love were upsetting- he couldn't help but feel lonely.

Today was going to be worse, it was already worse. Tamaki was with Haruhi now, there wasn't even going to be any hanging out for an hour or two before Tamaki had to leave so he could go home and have dinner. Kyoya was going to be completely alone, not even with any hope of phoning his best friend- even if Haruhi and Tamaki didn't spend that much time together, there was no way Tamaki would want to talk to him after the way he'd snapped. He was so lost in thought that he didn't even notice when Haruhi approached him, so when she put her hand on his arm gently, he jumped

"Oh, sorry senpai, I didn't mean to startle you. Are you alright?"

Kyoya frowned, trying not to look too angry. "Ah, no no, it's fine. Did you need anything?"

"Yeah, actually." She paused, her expression clearly one of stress. "You seemed annoyed with me today, is everything okay?"

Of all people, why did Haruhi have to notice? Kyoya sighed, his anger mostly just stress at this point. "No, nothings wrong. I have no issue with you- if you mean what I said to Tamaki then it should be clear I have no qualm with you."

"Mori-senpai said you were jealous of me." She spoke so bluntly, but gently too. Almost like she didn't realise that what she said was like she was trying to start a fight- it sounded like she was trying to be comforting.

Kyoya bristled, sighing and gritting his teeth. "Mori rarely makes observations, are you sure that's what he said?"

Haruhi sighed, massaging her temples and glancing over at Tamaki, "do you have anything to say?"

It was only then that Kyoya realised that Tamaki was still there, laying across a chaise lounge, looking incredibly upset. Panic began to rise in Kyoya; Tamaki must hate him by now, now there's no way they could even stay friends. He'd ruined it…

"Are we friends, Kyoya?"

Adjusting his uniform, Kyoya tried to compose himself, walking over to where the king was lounging. "Well I should hope so, you haven't stopped going on about how close we are since we met. Although I noticed you haven't used the word friend in quite a while, perhaps you've found some fault in me?" That last question came off a little weaker sounding than he had hoped, he didn't want to sound upset or scared. He watched Tamaki's reaction quietly, hoping he wouldn't catch his shadow's fear.

"Oh…" was all Tamaki said in response, sitting up and staring at Kyoya as if he'd just had an epiphany. Kyoya mentally changed his plans for the evening- maybe he could have a breakdown instead of reading the romance novel he'd set aside? That would probably take up the same amount of time. Tamaki was looking at Haruhi now, looking incredibly guilty for some reason. "You were right, I didn't think…"

"No, that's right," Haruhi confirmed, sounding a little annoyed now, "you didn't think." She sighed, walking over and gently guiding Kyoya to the opposite chaise lounge as she did, sitting next to him. "Kyoya-senpai you will not believe what he thought."

"Oh?" Kyoya asked curiously, his heart was in the process of crumbling into even smaller pieces than before, but he couldn't deny that he wanted to know what on earth had annoyed Haruhi this time.

"Do you want to tell him?"

"Can you..?"

Haruhi sighed, patting Kyoya gently on the knee. "I'm so sorry senpai, Tamaki was under the impression that the two of you had already been dating for quite a while, but it seemed he never said anything or actually asked you. So this moron believed you were with him, just like I was. That was why he had asked you how you felt about me becoming his girlfriend."

Kyoya remembered being asked that question, he had assumed that Tamaki was asking his friend for advice. He couldn't have imagined…

"Beni was right…"

"Huh?"

"Beni? The girl from lobelia??"

"Yes, she kept referring to you as my boyfriend and it was getting really annoying because-"

"-because you thought he was out of reach?" Haruhi finished his sentence for him, looking simultaneously annoyed, amused and sympathetic. "Yeah, I figured that was the case as soon as Mori-senpai told me what he'd heard."

"Kyooyyyaaaa!" Tamaki practically flung himself at Kyoya, sobbing, "Mon Ami! Mon amour! I'm so sorry! That must have been so painful for you!" The boy now had his head in Kyoya's lap, kneeling at the shadow king's feet. Kyoya felt almost like he was in shock, his mind completely refusing to process what was happening.

"You…" he started, feeling the looks he got from them both, "you never said anything… you never kissed me… or anything…" he paused. No, he was right. Tamaki hadn't even tried to be romantic, had he? Not to Kyoya's knowledge. "How the hell was I supposed to know any of this?"

Haruhi nodded, "well he's got a point." She then turned to Kyoya, sighing, "he hasn't kissed me yet either, I asked if he'd kissed you yet and he said he can't decide who should get his first kiss." A pause, all three of them coming to the same conclusion at the same time; "I think you should have it, if you still want it."

Tamaki stood now, placing one hand on Kyoya's cheek, "would that be enough, Kyoya? Could I make it up to you that way? It was such a stupid thing… I really thought you knew."

"Of course, it's up to you whether you even like the situation Tamaki's constructed, you're free to leave if you want."

Kyoya paused, looking at both of them in hesitation. He loved Tamaki so much, and if he thought about it; he really liked Haruhi as well. But the way this was happening… he wasn't sure. Everything was uneven, tilted. He didn't know what he could really do and frankly, he felt cornered.

"Tamaki…" he started, pulling Tamaki's hand away from his cheek, "can you please sit down? I need some room to breathe."

A gasp, as Tamaki scrambled back to the chaise lounge, nodding. "Of course, of course. I'm sorry." Haruhi leant back without even being asked, ever the sensible one.

Kyoya sighed, leaning back in his seat and closing his eyes. "I hope you realise the position you've put me in." He glanced to the both of them, noting their expressions. "Do you have any plans for this evening or are you going to wait for my answer the entire night?"

Haruhi spoke up, "well we were just going to spend some time at Tamaki's place, have some dinner there and things like that- I told him he has to talk to you about the whole ordeal because he was worrying you weren't going to come when asked because you seemed mad at him- and I realised you might not be on the same page as him."

"So your plans involve me?" Kyoya hadn't even considered that to be an option, he realised they had to have had plans, but the fact that Tamaki thought Kyoya was with them hadn't fully sunk in so he hadn't… oh, all the times Tamaki spent valentine's day at Kyoya's home… Kyoya had never felt so loved so suddenly. "You're an idiot Tamaki, a real idiot, do you know that?"

His tone held absolutely no anger, and Tamaki could tell that, nodding in response, the shame still plain on his face. "Yes, I know… I'm sorry Kyoya."

"You should have just said something, I'm observant but I'm not a fucking miracle worker." It was the first time they'd ever heard Kyoya swear and it clearly shocked the two of them quite a bit. "If I was unable to realise when my own cousin tried to kidnap Haruhi, why the hell do you think I'd be able to notice that you were being romantic towards me? You're a touchy person with your friends; how was I supposed to tell the difference?"

"Oh… I guess that makes sense…" Tamaki sighed, it seemed that the point had fully sunk in for him.

Haruhi interrupted the moment with her own epiphany, "hey wait! Is Beni your cousin?"

“Yes?” Kyoya looked at her, a little confused that she couldn’t tell. “Didn’t you know? We talk quite often.”

“Why didn’t you make her leave Haruhi alone!” Tamaki whined, “you didn’t even say anything!”

Kyoya raised an eyebrow at that, looking Tamaki up and down until the king realised what he’d just said and sunk back into his seat. “It wasn’t really any of your business to be fair, and to be honest, I’ve been pointing out her hypocrisy for a long time now.” A pause, and he decided to steer the conversation back on course, “so you want me to spend this evening with you both? You want-”

“-we want to know if you’d actually want the relationship Tamaki thought he had.”

Thinking about it, Kyoya realised that it was all he’d ever wanted. For all he acted blunt and cruel, he had only ever wanted to be loved… and they were both offering. His eyes burnt as he nodded slowly, “you’re stupid, you’re both so stupid…”

Tamaki smiled in amusement at that, looking so happy, “we love you too, Kyoya.”

Haruhi sighed, standing up and rolling her eyes. If it wasn’t for her smile, she might look annoyed. “Come on then boys, before they lock us in here.” She picked up Kyoya’s bag, holding it out to him. He took it and began following her out of the room, with Tamaki close behind them.

On the way to the limo, they were silent, just settling into their roles. Kyoya contemplated his position within this odd relationship. It had been a strange start, but he really hoped it would go well. His last boyfriend had a fiance and that sort of worked for a while, although this time Kyoya was going to be dating both people in the relationship and he was significantly older than he was last time, so it was probably going to be a slightly more mature relationship. Haruhi’s hands brushed against his own as they walked, and Kyoya felt his heart flutter in a way he hadn’t known since he first developed a crush on Tamaki- although he remembered feeling something similar when Haruhi called him out that one time…

Sitting in the limo, Tamaki clung to him. It seemed he’d just clocked on to the fact that Kyoya had denied the affection he offered because he thought Haruhi would get jealous. He didn't mind the affection now, especially not when Haruhi sat opposite to him, smiling fondly at the both of them. In fact, Kyoya dared to lean into the touch, his thumb gently rubbing the back of Tamaki's hand as the boy snuggled up close to him.

In Tamaki's bedroom, they sat down and shared a pot of tea. Tamaki placed a pile of chocolate boxes on the table, "these are from our guests, you can have as many as you like."

"We have our own boxes?" Kyoya questioned, wondering what loving nonsense Tamaki had come up with now.

"Yes, of course, but does the idea of lovers sharing the chocolates of admirers not appeal to you? Is it not romantic?"

At that notice, Kyoya couldn't help but chuckle. "You idiot, neither of us even like sweets that much."

"Yeah," Haruhi nodded, "I don't even know what I'm going to do with all my chocolates. What do you usually do, Kyoya-senpai?"

At that, Kyoya flushed a little. In truth, he had a bit of a sweet tooth. He always said he didn't like sweets because it made him look more mature, he wasn't sure how to respond to Haruhi's question without telling her that. "Well…"

"Eh," Haruhi, dismissed him, thinking to herself out loud, "I can just give it to my dad. But yeah, Tamaki, I don't think either of us want chocolate."

"Hmm," Tamaki paused, clearly thinking. He took one of the boxes and opened it; the chocolates inside were of the shiniest, richest chocolate Kyoya had ever seen. He never got chocolates like that from his admirers- he had a surprising few compared to the rest of the club. It was dusted with pink shimmer that gave the chocolates a mouthwatering sheen. "Not even one box?"

Kyoya could imagine what they might feel like in his mouth, and he wanted more than anything to reach out and take it. He couldn't, however, because doing so would mean letting his guard down further and admitting to wanting something- huh… it was just like earlier.

Tamaki was smarter than he looked, smiling a deviously charming smile as he took one of the chocolates out of the box, leaning over the table and holding out to Kyoya. "Are you sure you don't want one, mon amour? You're allowed to indulge."

"I…" Kyoya wasn't sure why, but his face flushed brighter than before, "Tamaki!" He huffed out, unsure how else to respond as the king chuckled slightly.

Haruhi seemed amused by this as well, but her tone was much softer than Tamaki's, "well if you want chocolate then no one's going to judge you, it's almost cute, senpai."

Rolling his eyes, Kyoya leaned forward and silently ate the chocolate Tamaki was holding as the king himself was looking at Haruhi and Haruhi herself watched in growing amusement. Tamaki seemed to be surprised by that, turning a bright shade of red and throwing himself across the room in his usual dramatic fashion. As for Kyoya, he felt himself melting into bliss as a rare treat graced his tongue, sweet and bitter chocolate with a dark red cherry syrup and a smooth, velvety texture that coated his mouth in a way that he knew he'd regret about ten minutes from now. It was wonderful…

"Tamaki…" Haruhi started, breaking both of her boys out of their thoughts, "did you do that so he'd taste more like chocolate than coffee when you kiss him?"

"I…" Tamaki paused, looking both confused and embarrassed, "maybe?"

Oh, the kiss. Kyoya had almost forgotten; Tamaki wanted Kyoya to be the first person he kissed in the relationship, to make up for the misunderstanding. He had almost forgotten about that, it made him smile. How comforting to think that this was Tamaki's response to seeing Kyoya had been upset.

They must have noticed his smile, because both of them were smiling now as Tamaki tucked his hand under Kyoya's chin, turning his head to face him. "Tamaki," Kyoya started, rolling his eyes in amusement, "you know those tricks don't work on me."

"Oh?" Tamaki raised an eyebrow, "why is it that you've turned pink then, mon beau? Is it that you want that kiss now, perhaps?"

"Perhaps I do."

I am loving all of your writings. I have read the one where the S/O can fight. I haven’t read one where their S/O seems innocent but they’re really an assassin. It can either be one of the boys or poly, your choice.

S/O gets caught assassinating a public figure and they are confronted.

(this reminds me so much of the writing prompt post about a serial killer and a photographer talking about the 'perfect shot' and I love it)

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

"Angry teen trying to piss of her mom by being obnoxious," Paul pointed towards two women in the crowds, the younger one being rather loud, and obviously making noises that annoyed the older woman.

"Sounds familiar," Dwayne, leaning on the rails and looking at the same crowds, mumbled with a grin.

"Rude."

"Sure."

"How about that one?" Marko pointed at an elder man wearing a three-piece suit.

"Judge, probably rather conservative," I smiled, trying to hide the slight nerves building up inside me. Sure, people watching was fun - especially with the bets you sometimes had going on - but when they picked out this guy...

His name was Alex Johnson, and he was indeed a judge. He'd been standing in the way of some major changes - mainly preventing ecological growth and social-cultural development. He also had a nasty tendency of working together with criminals. He was getting more and more power, and people were certain he'd try to change things for the worse. That was until I got that anonymous phone call two nights ago, asking me to deal with him.

"You okay, kitten?"

"Yeah. Fine."

"You seem nervous."

I looked at David, quietly cursing him for being perceptive.

"I'm fine. Just tired, I guess."

He raised his eyebrow, before shrugging. "He's also cheating on his wife."

"What?"

"That guy. Got lipstick all over his neck, and his shirts on inside out."

"Asshole."

David chuckled, his arm hung loosely over my shoulder. I leaned against him, sighing softly. "I think I'm going to head home guys."

"Babe, it's still early!" Paul looked at me, pouting slightly.

"You can't do this to us," Marko actually ran up to me, hugging me tightly. "Don't leave us alone with Paul."

"I heard that!"

"No shit, sherlock."

"I'm really tired, I'll see you all tomorrow, alright?"

"Do you need one of us to drive you back?" Dwayne asked, slightly towering over me. I smiled softly, shaking my head.

"I'm good. Thanks though," I kissed him softly, before turning to the others. With a quick hug and a kiss I said my goodbyes for the night and went home.

I slammed the door shut, locking it quickly. I had been following Johnson for some time now and I knew he'd be staying at the Waterview Motel at the boardwalk. Across from it was an abandoned building - perfect for me to hide out in. I changed my clothes to something I could easily move in, put on some good shoes to run in - and grabbed my already packed bags. The guns were as good as ready. I looked at my watch, and realised I needed to hurry. Quickly I ran out of my apartment, hurrying towards the abandoned building. Running up the stairs, quicker and quicker with every step, I soon made it to the fourth floor. I put up the installation I used, making sure I could get a good shot - making sure it would only take one bullet, making sure everything would go perfectly - and then I waited. Five minutes. Ten. Fifteen - I saw his car arrive, stopping in a parking spot right in my vision. I adjusted my position, aimed, waited for him to step out, to get a clear shot and-

"Holy shit! Did you see that!" Marko pushed Paul in his arm, pointing at the now dead politician. He'd just fallen down, blood spraying everywhere.

"Goodbye meal," Marko sighed, groaning as he realised they had to find a new meal for tonight.

"This fucking sucks man. Police will be everywhere. If he's a politician like Y/N said he was, then we really need to lay low."

"Speaking of Y/N," Dwayne interrupted David, "What the hell are they doing there?"

As I walked out of the building, making sure to not look suspicious, I was certain everything had gone well. It had been easy. That was until I saw them. All four of them, looking incredibly concerned.

"Hey guys..."

"You said you were going home," Marko sounded actually quite stern.

"I did."

"So what happened?" David looked at you.

"I had to do something."

"Such as?" Paul spoke up.

"Does it matter?"

"Since we are your boyfriends I think it does."

"Fair enough - just don't, you know - judge me..."

The boys were quiet for a moment, before Marko chuckled.

"Already making jokes about it, hm?"

"You- you killed that guy?" Paul looked somewhat impressed.

"It's - well- kind of what I do?"

"Why?"

"Because, David, I am very passionate about not starving."

"You could get a real job."

"This pays better," I smiled. In the beginning I'd felt bad about it, of course. But most of these people were real assholes and it made it less hard to kill them. Besides, I definitely did background checks and if the person I was hired to kill was not bad I would not he killing them. Simple as that.

"So... Now what?" I asked, curious as to see where this would go.

"Well," David grinned, "now it's our turn to tell."

[gingermintpepper]

After thinking it over for a bit, I've decided that I might as well do a proper underrated 3DS game rec list. I'm a bit of an ATLUS junkie and that's gonna be pretty disgustingly apparent in this list, but it's not my fault that they released hit after hit and all of them were duly ignored.

Due to tumblr's 10 image limit (and my struggle to keep motivated to do one thing for more than three hours) I'm definitely gonna have to break this up into parts and I'm fairly certain one of these lists is just gonna be MegaTen games lmao but I'd like to let people know about these excellent titles and see if I can't at least get people interested in them so they can get more traction.

So, without further ado:

Some 3DS Games that were criminally slept on (part 1)

Monster Hunter Stories

God, where do I begin with this game. Well, the basics: It's a JRPG spinoff title of the now widely successful and popular Monster Hunter series featuring a different take on interacting with the varied and intricate monsters populating the world: Riders.

Yep, instead of hunting the beasties, you play as a young rider who's completed their intiation ritual and can now bond with 'Monsties' as they've cutely labelled the usually ferocious monsters of the wilds. The great thing is that you still fight Monsters--tons of them in fact but this isn't a paid review and in my humble opinion, the most impressive thing about this game is the visual style. The landscapes, the armour, the way they redesigned and 3DS-ified the classically hyper realistic and monstrous beasts to not only be absolutely adorable but still capable of being intimidating when the time calls for it, the stellar animation of special moves and combination attacks--it's delicious, nutritious, stupendous, I can and will consume it like it's part of my recommended caloric intake.

It's very akin to Pokemon in the way its basic gameplay premise is set up, however, instead of catching--or even indeed befriending--the Monsties in the game, you rummage through their nests and steal their eggs, later hatching them and getting yourself a brand new lightly kidnapped monster pal!

Other general things about the game:

Pros:

The armour and weapon sets for both male and female characters slap along with the general character customisation options. They're incredibly diverse (though limited in body type) and you can switch around traits and features whenever you want from your house.

The POGS--these porkers are everywhere and they serve as tiny little achievements for exploring every odd and end of the world. Also they have little outfits. They're so cute. 🥺🥺

You can actually ride the Monsties. All of em. Or, at least the ones that you have available to be your buddies. They all have exploration skills and traits that not only make exploring much more interesting but encourage you to swap out your active Monstie and play around with your options a bit.

Y'all breeding Monsties is complicated and I live for just how intense and ridiculous you can get with optimal builds for these things.

The story is really competently put together! The characters, character designs and even the internal conflict with your starting trio of characters is really compelling along with the mystery of the blight that's infecting Monsters across the world. It's not anything worth awards but it's compelling and it makes you care about the characters if that's what you're in the market for.

Amazing sound design, expansive world, everything about the presentation of this game oozes that Monster Hunter charm even if the art is cutesier than usual. You'll never get bored of its stellar visual presentation!

Available for around twenty quid on the Google Play store, so if you want, you could actually get the full game on your smartphone or tablet. Note though that it would be a battery nuker.

Cons:

If you're on a regular 3DS, frame rate drops are a given. This game kinda pushes the visual capabilities of the 3DS to its absolute limit--a lot like Okamiden did back on the DS.

One save file :( It's pretty much for the same reason as above but still.

If you're playing as the girl, you can't get male armour and vice versa. Since there's only one save file, you'll never be able to have all of the armour sets in a single playthrough and that's criminal because both of the sets for the genders are absolutely breath-taking, thank you.

I 👏can't 👏make👏my👏 own 👏Palico👏

Multi-player for this game is pretty dead seeing as it's almost five years old by now and never got much press or traction. Usually this wouldn't be an issue - this game is 99% singleplayer and you don't really need to fuss about with multi-player to have fun, but if you want to collect all the Monsties, you'll need it since the only way to get Glavenus is through pvp achievements. :/

Final thoughts: Play it if you find yourself getting tired or disappointed with 3DS Pokemon games but still want something that feels as fantastical as Pokemon. It outshines the 3DS Pokemon games at every turn and I will never be over just how thoughtfully put together and fully realised these games are. Of course, if you've ever played Monster Hunter, then you know just how intensive these games are with the lore, biology, cultures and world of their Monsters but seeing that translated into JRPG format was just very sobering and it's a game that, to this day, continues to awe me with just how much love and attention went into it.

Last note: If you're still unsure about it, there's a demo available on the e-shop of the 3DS that allows you to play through the entire initial area of the game. Your data does carry through to the full release and to give you an idea of how much I've been able to squeeze out of it - my playtime for that demo is currently sitting at 22 hours. Make sure to get a hold of that Cyan-Kut-Ku!

7th Dragon III Code: VFD

The title may sound intimidating but the premise is not! A mysterious disease called Dragon Sickness spread by the Dragonsbane flowers that have cropped up all around the world. You and your team are recruited by the Nodens game company after you display extraordinary prowess in their hit virtual reality game 7th Encount. As you go through the adventure, you are tasked with finding out the truth behind the Dragon Sickness and asked to stop both it and the Dragons that are destroying the world.

This game is fun. It's another turn-based JRPG however, in this game you create all of your characters yourself from the myriad of classes available to you from the jump. Different classes of course have very different specialisations - Samurai focus on high powered cutting damage with their swords, Duelists are summoners who can influence the element of the battlefield as well as summon monsters from each element, Agents can hack into your enemies and inflict a barrage of nasty ailments, just to name a few - and you are given three teams of three characters each to experiment with different team comps and find the balance that works for you. There's also a wide variety of Dragons to hunt and kill in the game, which directly affects how infected your world is with the Dragon Sickness causing Dragonsbane. Along the way you will also come into contact with many interesting characters, concepts and confrontations that will make the task of saving the world all the more imperative.

Pros

1. The character creator and differing classes give way for tons of experimenting and playing around with your own unique approach to combat and carrying out your missions. Granted, 'character creation' is generous, it's little more than palatte swaps but the classes are really where VFD shines. Eight main classes may not sound like a lot, but the expaniveness of the character skills, their synergy with their fellow classes and the uniqueness of some of the classes in and of itself allows for so much flexibility and creativity in approaches to even tougher bosses. It also encourages the switching about of your party members to really finagle with the options available to you.

2. God this game is pretty. The locations, the character art, the creature design - all of it is gorgeous and this game capitalises on every bit of the 3DS's presentation limitations as it can.

3. You can romance anything and everyone - yes, you can even be gay/lesbian/poly in this game. In fact, one of the main characters - Julietta - is gnc and he's a constant source of joy as well one of my personal favourite characters, right behind Yuma.

4. Exploration is very very forgiving as the game has healing spots and teleport nodes all over the world to allow for quick, seamless travel between quest points without feeling like anything is too much of a hassle. There are also special enemies that allow for quick grinding as well as quick farming of money. In general, the game does a really good job of making sure that the grind is never unbearable or inconsiderate of your time.

Cons:

1. This is the fourth game in a series the West has never seen any other title for, and from the looks of it, will probably never see any other titles for. Because of that, there are some elements that may seem confusing or revelations in the plot that may seem to come out of nowhere.

2. While the visuals are great, the OST of this one is pretty short making for a lot of reused soundtracks that can get really annoying if you're like me and need your audio to be interesting or consistent so it doesn't distract you too much.

3. This one isn't really a con but it is divisive: This game gets pretty difficult at times. A few of the main dragon enemies including and especially the final boss can give you a serious run for your money in the annoy-o-meter in terms of the kind of absolute JRPG fuckery they can pull out of their magic bag of bullshit movesets and while I generally enjoy that kind of thing, I know it's not for everyone. Most regular combat shouldn't be too tricky once you have a team comp that works well together but you also need to pay attention since the same team that carries you to victory one time might be worth beans against another dragon.

Final thoughts: This is... a really good game. Interesting story, really interesting characters, pretty world and a battle system that really makes you sit down and think. There's also a demo for this available in the e-shop and while your data doesn't carry over - you do receive multiple perks for carrying over your demo data including some exclusive items that, while not game breaking, do help a ton in the early stages of the game.

This isn't a final list by any stretch of the word; I only have the energy to do these two right now, but the next games up for coverage are Ever Oasis and Stella Glow! If you're interested in my full plan of games I want to cover here then my current lineup includes: Theatrhythm: Curtain Call, Project Mirai: Deluxe, Culdecept Revolt, Alliance Alive, Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology, Etrian Odyssey V, Devil Survivor 2: Record Breaker and Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse.

Finally, if anyone has played any of the games I mention, cover or plan to cover PLEASE REACH OUT TO ME, I AM SO LONELY IN MY FORTRESS OF SAND. On a serious note, I'd love to hear what other people who've played these games think!

Thanks for reading,

He makes sure everyone knows that you're deaf if they ever want to talk to you

He is always respectful and makes sure to never scare you by randomly touching you

He knows a little sign language but you two mostly write or text each other

He loves to kiss you on your ears and neck

He actually loves to hear you laugh

You always say you have a weird laugh but he doesnt agree

He likes to hold your hand when you two are out in public

He doesn't really like to baby you though since he knows you are capable of being independent

But please rely on him if you need to

If you ever get stressed or anything he is the type to pull you away from the situation and comfort you

You and keiji were on a date getting crepes, you got banana and he got strawberry but you would often take bites out of each others, keiji leaned forward taking a bite of your crepe and getting whip cream on his nose which made you laugh

Your loud laugh made him smile but he glanced around seeing people stare at you, he hoped you didnt notice but dadly you did and quickly covered your mouth with your hand now overthinking and tears started to brim in your eyes but you jumped when you felt a soft hand on yours.

You looked up and saw keiji texting on his phone so you pulled out yours to see what exactly he wanted to say.

"let's take our crepes to go and take a walk? I love you."

You looked up only to see the male softly smiling at you before you gave a happy nod. You two decided to walk around the park hands held tightly as Akaashi talked to you about volleyball making sure to talk slow enough for you to read his lips.

Bokuto koutaro

He had no idea when you two first went out

He is always showing you off like a trophy though

"MY BABY IS THE CUTEST THING EVER! LOOK AT THEM!"

Even though you cant hear him he is still super loud around you

He sometimes forgets you are deaf so when you stare blankly after he just ranted for ten minutes awaiting your response he realizes that he spoke way too fast for you

You somehow taught him sign language but you two also created your own special symbols that only you two know

If you use the symbol during a game he is going to be super pumped

the others drag you to him if he is in emo mode

He likes your voice

He knows talking is hard but he just wants to hear you say his name

With a lot of speech therapy you fulfilled his wish and he knew right there that he wanted to marry you

It was an off day for him, he wasn't playing as well as he nirnally was and that was cause you were late to his match. Every second he got he would searched the crowd for you and miss the ball.

The team lost the first set and something needed to change before they lost the game, as bokuto sat on the bench drinking water he couldnt help but think of you.

Luckily akaashi had your number and just before bokuto was about to get back to the game he heard the doors swing open and his name called

"KOUTARO!"

His eyes landed on you who was rushing to him while panting, his entire body froze as he watched you and his ears were ringing as tears rolled down his now red face. He thought he was dreaming but you did it again when you nearly tacked him in a hug

"koutaro! M' sorry!"

Bokuto shakily wrapped his arms around you tightly now peppering kisses all over your head and face when you looked at him.

"you- you said my name! Ah! You're here! Did you run here you look so tired! Did you come to see me win? Haha I can't lose now can I?"

Bokuto was so excited and rambling so you simply yanked him down to your level before selling your lips against his.

That definitely perked him up and before you knew it the male was energized and ready to win the game.

His lucky charm was hear after all

Kuroo testuro

He is pretty goofy with you

He loves physical touches to let you know he loves you

Honestly he is the type to pull your cheeks and watch you whine about it

He likes to playfully tease you by calling you his little mouse

He is also a fan of ear kisses

Always kisses your ears or licking your ear lobes

If you aren't paying attention to him or zoned out that's how he gets your attention

He makes sure you are taken care of though

If anyone was to bully you he would definitely get pissed

He likes dates at home where you two just watch tv

Always makes sure subtitles are on no matter what

Knows a little bit of sign language just small stuff

You two mostly use your ability to read lips

He likes when you watch him practice and tends to work extra hard

Please say his name

He doesn't care what you sound like he just wants you to say his name or laugh with him

Your laugh makes him grin so much

He likes your cute little whines and whimpers the most

He is a teasing demon

"what's wrong little mouse? You look so red and flushed"

Kuroo made sure to talk slow so you can clearly read each and every word, you sat in his lap facing him while he waited for the others to come into the gym for practice.

He normally isn't one to show up early but he wanted alone time with you, with a shaky breath a small whimper escaped you as the male leaned forward trailing his tongue along your ear now running his fingers along your waist under your shirt.

"you can't hear me, but I love you so much"

His breath on your ears gave you shivers before you slowly trailed your hands along his chest under his shirt. He was going to kiss you but the sounds of the gym doors sliding open startled him and he pulled back now simply pressing you close to his chest.

You glanced and saw yaku and lev walk in which made you jump lightly and gripped kuroo's jacket lightly before looking up at him as he simply kissed your head.

"yeah I know, we can play later for now me a good mouse and watch your kitty cat practice" as he lifted you off his lap and onto the bench he couldn't help but feel annoyance as more members walked into the gym..damn it those cockblockers.

Tsukishima kei

He pretends he's not over protective but he is

No one is allowed to get a foot close to you unless they want to get the death glare

You are to hold his hand wherever you two go

He made a playlist for you and made sure all the songs had a loud bass so you can feel the vibrations against your ears

He loves listening to music with you and usually uses a speaker so you can touch it and feel it

He does pick on you but only he can do that

If he needs something and you aren't looking at him he will touch your hand or reach to touch your face

"oi, look at me more idiot. How are you supposed to know what I'm saying if you don't?"

He likes to make you wear his jacket all the time so everyone knows who you belong to

Any bullies you get will be dealt with

He loves to kiss all over your face when you two are alone

Mostly cause it makes you laugh

Will use sign language with you if he wants to say something embarrassingly sweet infront of people

Your body in his jacket made his heart swell, you decided to join him during practice and watch him, this only made him more determined to impress you though he wouldn't admit that fact. He was pretty busy with practice that he didn't quite notice strangers walking into the gym.

They were probably going to watch the game as well, so when tsukishima did see them walk in he didn't pay it much mind. Before he knew it they were sitting next to you, one on either side of you.

"so, you watching a friend play?"

"maybe a boyfriend?"

Of course you didn't hear them and they just thought you were being rude so one of them roughly tapped your shoulder earning your attention.

You tried to watch his lips move but he was talking to fast, when you started to use sign language that's when it all went to hell.

"oi! You deaf or something?! So you can't hear anything I said! That's rude as hell! Shouldn't you be wearing a special sign that says so?!"

The two started to bother you now pushing you around and it didn't take lone til one of them pushed you off the bench and started to make you cry.

Your panicked sobs echoed in tsukishima's ears before he walked over like an angry bull, all he could see was red and he wasn't afraid to get into a fight.

"hey! The hell do you think your doing?! Leave them the hell alone!"

Tsukishima's tall height scared the bullies away and the blonde quickly scooped you into his arms now looking at your face, he noticed a bruise from when you were shoved.

"damn it, those assholes. Hey look at me! You okay?"

You gave a small nod before tsukishima simply carried you into his arms feeling you wrap your legs around him.

"I'm leaving practice."

With that he walked to the locker room to get changed and get his things with you never leaving his side.

He made sure to be more aware of you and those around you, you were so fragile and small and he didn't want to see you get hurt.

Hinata shoyo

He is willing to fight for you

Like a tiny bodyguard

Loves to hear you talk even if you don't like it

Is willing to learn sign for you

But he is dumb so he mixes up signs

He would rather just talk slowly or write

Gets all serious when someone picks on you

He loves to mouth out super cute things

Kisses all over for days

Please come watch him play

Will try and ask daichi for a time out if you show up late to his match

He needs to kiss you!

S I M P

He doesn't have money but he will give you anything you want

Hinata laughs as you straddled him now tickling his sides, it was supposed to be a netflix date but it quickly turned into a tickling match. Hinata was quickly losing this battle but was having fun anyways, he suddenly flipped you over and pinned your hands above your head not realizing how suggestive this looks

"ah...hah..not funny, my stomach hurts now"

As he looked down at you he found himself staring into your eyes a blush forming on his cheeks. You always looked so cute to him, a cute angel that made his insides tingle.

"you're, so cute."

He couldn't help but laugh at your red face and he released your hands only for you to sit up and hold his face in your hands

"shoyo..cute..too"

Those three words made him jolt and before you know it he buried his face in your neck squealing and holding you close. You can feel his pounding heartbeat against your own and simply smiled

Lev haiba

Okay so for the first month of your relationship he just thought you were a mute

Poor fool thought everytime you didn't respond in some way meant you were mad at him

After crying to yaku who explained that you were deaf he ended up apologizing to you

He still forgets that you are deaf a lot

He likes it when you cling to his clothes when you both are in a crowd

He tries not to talk too fast but sometimes you have to tug him by his shirt to tell him to slow down

Can't sign to save his life

He often used really dramatic gestures to get you to understand at times

He doesn't mean to offend he's just nervous and doesn't know what to say

He loves you to death

Also a S I M P

You want a snack? Write it down he got you

Want his jacket? Oh he's taking it off as we speak

Need him to carry you? Of course he will!

He doesn't like fighting so with bullies he just presents his height and they normally back off

He is a jealous boy though cause kenma and you sign all the time

Lev watched with a pout as kenma moved his hands fluently signing to you, lev couldn't get the grasp of it but kenma learned fast. This bugged lev since his worst thought was that kenma would steal you away from him!

"it's no fair! He has better hair than me!"

His complaining was cut short by yaku who kicked the Russian in the leg, this made lev fall and he let out a pained groan

"yakuuuuu I can't practice right now my partner is being stolen by kenma!"

"idiot! They are obviously hanging around him cause it's easier to talk to kenma than it is you"

This made lev look to you and he soon came up with an idea. He rushed over to you and kenma before softly grabbing your hand.

This made you jump and you looked over in confusion before smiling softly at his joyful expression.

"I know I tend to talk too fast sometimes, but please don't replace me with kenma! I love you so so much!"

He talked slowly making sure you get every single word and he was shocked to hear your laughter, he glanced over at kenma who now walked away not wanting to ruin whatever moment was happening.

"why you laughing?"

You took out a notepad and a pen before starting to write before handing it to him

As he read what you said his heart started to swell.

"silly! I'm not replacing you with kenma! I love you! More than anything!"

He couldn't help but hug you tightly kissing your face over and over again.

"I love you too! You love me too even if I can't sign! Or even if I mess up? Ahhh! I love you so much! Marry me [y/n]!"

You weren't quite sure what he was saying but you knew he was happy and that made you happy.

[theyarebothgunshot]

this is just me tinhatting so much right now, but i can't stop listening to City gown willow, and it's just, is it about misha and vicki?? it's just, I'm at really thin ice here, but still, those lyrics..

"She wants to know the names of the games he plays (misha is a child, that we know) /He wants the names of the players in the game to change (vicki is poly (even though we know misha has participated as well) ) /He's young in years but wise in wonderful ways (jensen has often talked about how he is impressed by misha) /Her faith in love is better on sunny days (I have never heard jensen talk about vicki so I don't know, but I think she was the one to take the first step with separation?)

/He stokes the flames 'cause he is amused by the glow (very much misha behavior, again child) /She'd rather feel all of its warmth than watch the show (vicki has never been comfortable in the spot light) /Holding the answer, he dances for the one he knows /His faith in love will last through wind, rain and snow (again, jensen has often bragged about mishas strengths and persistens)

/All they want is forever, and /All they need is for /Their time together /To be free" (to be free as in be with others? be poly? I don't know, really thin ice here...)

and is jensen the mountain man? :D I have no idea about this, and it is probably NOT a song about vicki and misha, but I cannot stop think about it. have you heard anything, theories or such?

wishing you a good new year!

/tired anon

(and and and just a small ask.. what is fimmf..?)

thank you!

/tired anon

i've seen more people mention this but i think that the beauty of most songs is that it could be about lots of different things, and that it can be applicable to multiple scenarios. i know for a fact that steve and jensen have different interpretations for the songs they write and sing, so it might not be one actual couple either of them knows but a combination of things all rolled up into a fictional one, if that makes sense?

fimmf stands for fingers in my mouth friday!

Oof I have a craving for Jealous!Alexios, but I can't decide between post-Deimos Alexios or just good ole Regular Alexios?? It's an ongoing struggle! But then I'm also intrigued at Alexios meeting Eivor, or post-Deimos Alexios fighting alongside Kass and absolutely LOSING it when she gets injured in battle? I... *sigh*... take your pick if any of these interest you! I trust you and your writing :P

sorry it took so long, but here ya go! went with jealous Deimos, hope you don’t mind.

Deimos!Alexios x fem!Reader

DEIMOS ADJUSTS THE bronze fibulae at his shoulder, shifting around on his feet —uncomfortable with how vulnerable he feels wearing the deep scarlet exomis. He is not used to being without the black-and-gold armor of the Cult nor without his sword but tonight duty demands it. Part of his unease fades as he watches you on the opposite side of the room.

The nigh threadbare material of your chiton puddles around your feet, but you are quick to slide into the deep blue peplos. “Aphrodite would be envious,” he remarks moving to stand before you, in his hand is a golden necklace with red and green stones. Warmth rushes to your cheeks at his flattery —he had been doing that often as of late. Pulling your hair aside, Deimos drapes the jewelry over your head, securing the hook clasp at the back of your neck.

“It’s not wise to invoke her wrath, Deimos,” you chide. The goddess rarely took kindly to being compared to mortals. He rolls his eyes and unwittingly reaches out, thumb tracing over your cheek —tinted pink with crushed rose and red wine. The urge in his heart says to give into years of longing and kiss you, but there is a lump in his throat, and it does not fade. You look up at him, wondering what thoughts plague his mind, and why he ignores the clear connection time has forged between you. Sighing, you step back, and his hand falls back to his side —clenching into a tight fist. “We should go,” you remind him. Deimos nods.

Samos is unlike the rest of the Greek world, despite the corruption of its leader —it is peaceful and prosperous. The agora of the polis is filled with famed Samian wine and oils coveted by Athenian citizens and Olympic athletes alike. Compared to the busy streets of Kirrha and the constant influx of pilgrims seeking wisdom in Delphi, you think a quiet place such as this would not be such a terrible place to live. The thought brings a distant dream back to the forefront of your mind as you look around the seaside city and to Deimos at your side. Maybe one day we can stay in a place like this, you think.

“I despise these things,” he says, brows settling into a deep furrow as you both stop at the villa’s entrance. Deimos preferred to keep to himself if he could not be with you, and he dreads large gatherings —like the one you must attend tonight. The Cult suspects Lasthenes of Samos is dealing information to their adversaries and slowing them from reaching their goals in the Southern Sporades. They have sent their champion to find if there are any truths in the rumors —you accompany him as a temper. Of all the people in Hellas, only you could quell the fire when it burned too hot in Deimos.

You reach for his hand out of impulse —surprised when he slips his fingers between yours. “I don’t care for them either,” you tell him, something about symposiums always puts you on edge, “but at least we’re together.” His lips kink into a fleeting smile, it feels like a small victory to know you are at his side. It does not last long, though as the ladies in attendance sweep you away into conversation, leaving the men to the andron and courtyard.

Time blurs with the droning gossip, tiring of the talk you slip down the stairs from the rooftop and back to the courtyard, eyes scanning those gathered for Deimos. He is not to be seen. Sighing, you turn your sights to the kitchen —eager to fill your belly with wine. Your plan is thwarted when Lasthenes approaches, a serpent’s smile crossing his pinched face. The leader of Samos is garbed in fine robes bought with the blood of innocents.

“Aphrodite has come to visit Samos it seems,” Lasthenes remarks, lifting a jeweled hand to your cheek. You step away from the leader, turning your cheek away from his unwelcome touch. Deimos lingers just out of sight, the blood in veins beginning to boil. “Tell me how I know every face on this island–” Lasthenes steps toward you again, you back hitting one of the marble columns surrounding the perimeter of the courtyard “–and yet I have never seen yours.” It was uncommon for strangers to be invited to his symposiums —even the hetaerae had familiar faces.

You know why Deimos had been sent to Samos and Lasthenes would be more apt to dispel an accidental truth to you rather than him. Drawing in a long breath, you decide to play along. “I have traveled all the way from Delphi to be here tonight,” you tell the leader, taking the offered cup of wine. That much is true, you and Deimos had sailed from Phokis nigh a week ago and had spent two nights on Samos, waiting for tonight.

“The Goddess of love and beauty has travelled far, then,” Lasthenes says, silver-tongue not missing a beat. You laugh, brushing back what hair slips from its bindings and taking a gulp of the sweet watered wine. “Is it to your taste?” He inquires. You nod in response, though before you can speak another man, garbed in Persian robs interrupts —leaning close to whisper something in his ear.

It is not so low that you cannot overhear, though. He speaks of a meeting between a Spartan general and Persian merchant and you can make out the name Perikles on the man’s lips, too. “I’ll be there shortly,” Lasthenes replies, turning his attention back to you. “Those affairs can wait,” he assures, resting his hand on your arm, “I’d like to learn of the goddess before me.” You force a smile and however insincere it may be, Lasthenes takes no notice of it.

When the leader motions toward a private room, you spot Deimos among those gathered alas. His face is almost as red as the exomis he wears, and his hands are clenched into fight fists at his sides. You recognize the cold anger in his dark eyes, but there is something else too. Deimos storms from the villa. Had it been up to his digression, Lasthenes would be dead —anyone suspected of trading secrets would be inclined to actually do it for the right incentives. But that is not all that weighs on his mind as he leaves the symposium.

Your gaze follows Deimos until you can no longer see him. “I have to go,” you announce, somewhat apologetic while looking back over your shoulder at the leader —noticing the suspicion growing in his stare. Lasthenes says nothing as he watches you leave.

Finding Deimos is not difficult as he often ends up on a beach when something has gone wrong or is bothering him. He paces back-and-forth on the white sand before the villa. To anyone else he is a caged animal in these moments —dangerous and to be avoided— but to you he is still Deimos. You step into his path, placing your hand on the center of his chest. “Deimos,” you sigh, “what is it?” His dark gaze flicks downward before he looks at you.

Then you see the glint in his tawny-gold eyes and understand why is acting this way. “Jealousy doesn’t suit you,” you tell him, lips turning upward into a smile. He huffs, brows furrow, though now his anger has faded. You move the hand on his chest up to his cheek —tracing over the scar below his eye. Had it not been for having to leave earlier, perhaps something could have happened between the two of you.

Without thinking, you push up onto your toes, if Deimos will not act then you will. Your lips find his under the silver light of the moon and stars. His hands are quick to settle on your hips, pulling you closer. It feels like a dream and if it is, Deimos never wishes to wake. All his unease fades into nothing. Feet entangled in the excess fabric of your peplos, you topple forward —not expecting it, both you and Deimos fall back into the sand.

“You don’t have to worry about anyone else, Deimos,” you confess. Flattery and gifts could never buy your love or affection, for your heart already belonged to another. His fingers brush your cheek, moving back into your hair. Despite his sour mood and what had transpired at the symposium, his gaze is soft as he fights to hold back a smile. “My heart is yours.” It had been for some time.

You do not expect Deimos to say anything in turn —he is a man of few words and it may take him a while to find the right ones to say. But the way he kisses you is more than enough for now. Deimos holds you close under a clear night sky —waves breaking softly on the shoreline— as you exchange tender caresses and slow kisses, making up for lost time.

New Family - Chapter 16

Genre: Poly!AU; Hybrid!Au; Fluff; Angst

Pairing: Hybrid BTS x Female! Reader; Human! Reader, Wolf!Namjoon, Alpaca!Seokjin, Black Panther!Yoongi, Red Fox!Jhope, Corgi Dog!Jimin, Tiger!Taehyung, Bunny!Jungkook.

Summary: After receiving a promotion at work Y/N realizes that she has more free time so she decides to use this time usefully and ends up volunteering in an organization that rescues abused hybrids. What she doesn't know is that this will completely change her life!

**********************❤**********************

The next day I woke up alone in bed again, I got dress and went to the kitchen to see Jin and Namjoon cooking breakfast while the others are waiting at the table, all of them already dressed.

"I need to get used to wake up alone now." I say laughing kissing them all good morning while I kiss Tae forehead not noticing his sad face. "So are you guys ready for the first day?" I ask Raw and Yoongi. "YES!" Taehyung says making his tail beat against the chair. "Don't yell so early!" Yoongi says to him hitting him with his tail. "Relax Yoongi! Our boy is only excited!" I say petting Tae ears making me purr and calm down. "And you guys? Are you going to the coffee shop?" I ask the others when Joon and Jim bought the food. "Yes. I hope they contract us!" Jin says. "I bet they will!" I say smiling to them and we start eating.

"Bye Y/N!" They all say leaving excited and I laugh never expecting for them leaving before me. "Goodbye boys! Good luck!" I say to them knowing their hear me and I clean everything and leave for work too.

*With the boys*

The boys were walking to their destinations worry and excited the same time.

"Hey! Is that the coffee shop Y/N talked about?" Hobi says pointing to the shop. "I guess it is." Namjoon says. "Well good luck then. Were going to the organization." Yoongi says kissing them goodbye. "But I wanna go to!" Taehyung says whining. "No. Let's go!" Yoongi says dragging Tae out of there and waving goodbye to the others leaving the three hybrids laughing at the scene. "Well let's go then." Jin says, and they start walking towards it when Hobi stops in the middle. "Hobi? What is it?" Namjoon asks confused, so he and Jin look at what Hobi was looking, a dance studio looking for a choreographer. "I loved to dance. I would dance all day before what happen." Hobi says sad looking at the studio. "Go." Namjoon says smiling. "What!" Hobi says looking at him I'm hope. "Go Hobi! There's not problem in trying! Go!" Jin says smiling. "Thank you Hyung! Joon!" Hobi screams kissing them goodbye and running happy to the studio. "That boy!" Jin says laughing. "Well now is our turn." Namjoon says walking again to the coffee shop with Jin following him.

*With Yoongi and Taehyung*

Yoongi stopped dragging Tae and they start walking normally to the organization. "Yoongi?" Tae says quietly looking at him with huge eyes innocent. "What?" Yoongi asks suspicious looking at Tae. "Can I hold your hand?" Tae asks in hope making Yoongi froze looking at him. "Is just I see you, Y/N and the others always hand in hand and...." Tae starts explaining but Yoongi interrupt him. "Sure." And Tae graves Yoongi hands happier than ever and Yoongi smiles looking at his happiness.

Still hand in hand, both hybrids stop in front of the building nervous. "Come on Hyung! We can do it!" Tae says and this time his the one dragging. "Good morning Yugyeom!" He says. "Good morning boys! Ready?" Yugyeom asks and both hybrids nod ready to start.

*With Hobi*

After Hobi said goodbye to Joon and Jin, he stops in front of the studio excited and nervous.

Entering the studio he sees a lot of people, humans and hybrids, from all ages ready for their class. "Hello! Here for a class?" A bear hybrid asks.

"Actually I saw the hiring sign for a new choreographer..." Hobi says playing with his hands while his tail can't stop moving because of the nervousness. "Good! I'm Jaebum, I'm the receptionist.So can you teach this class now so we can see what you can do?" .... asks. "I'm Hoseok and of course!" Hobi almost screams happy and he follows Jaebum to the dance room.

Two hours later everyone was on the floor tired and sweating with an Hobi sweating but still energetic ready to continue.

"Congratulations Hoseok! You got the job!" Jaebum says happy that they finally found someone. "Really! Thank you so much!" Hobi says so happy he could jump in happiness instead he holds his tail to stop it to wave too much. "Do you mind continue to work today?" Jaebum asks him. "I would love too!" Hobi answers and prepares for the next class.

*With Namjoon and Jin*

After they watch Hobi running to the dance studio, Namjoon and Jin start walking towards the coffee shop. "You ready?" Namjoon asks. "Not really!" Jin answers. "Me neither." With that response Namjoon opens the door that makes a little bell sound when they entered.

"Good morning! What can I get for you two?" A mouse hybrid asks a little scared by seeing the wolf hybrid. "Good morning! We are here because we saw you needed to hire hybrids." Namjoon says. "Ah! Yes! Please come with me." He says and the two hybrids follow him to a table. "My name is Bambam. So tell me what you guys can do?" "My name is Jin and I can cook!" " I'm Namjoon and I can't do much." "You can cook that's good! And for you, well we really need hybrids so I think we can teach you so you're both hire." Bambam says smiling. "Thank you so much!" Jin says shaking his hand. "We really need this so thank you!" Namjoon says smiling showing his dimples making the mouse hybrid more at ease with the wolf.

"Can you start today? Is a good day to start train Namjoon." Bambam says. "Of course!" Both hybrids say and they start working happy.

*At the end of the day*

Yoongi and Taehyung finish their work for today so they start leaving the organization. "BYE YUGYEOM!" Tae screams waving at him. "See you tomorrow." Yoongi says. "Bye guys!" Yugyeom says laughing at Tae.

"How do you still have so much energy?" Yoongi says looking tired at Tae that only smiles his big smile to Yoongi and they start walking home.

Namjoon and Jin also starts leaving the coffee shop after being all day working. "Bye Bambam!" Jin says waving at the mouse hybrid. "Bye!" Namjoon also says. "Bye! See you tomorrow!" Bambam says waving at them and the two hybrids left the coffee shop hearing again the little bell.

When they were starting to walk home they heard someone far away calling their name and looking behind they see a hybrid tiger running in full speed towards them.

"Look Yoongi! Is Namjoon and Jin!" Tae says and he starts running towards them. "Kid! Don't.... Run...." Yoongi says but his to tired to stop him.

"NAMJOON! JIN! HI!" Tae screams running to them and he jumps on the two hybrids hugging them. "Ahahaha hello Tae." Namjoon says laughing at his actions. "Aish kid! Your too heavy for me!" Jin says but also smiling and hugs him back. "Were is Yoongi?" Namjoon asks. "I left him behind!" Tae says with a big smile like he did nothing wrong making the two old hybrids laugh.

"Kid! You never do that again do you understand!" Yoongi says to Tae when he arrives and he pushes the tiger tail as revenge making him scream and hide behind the other two hybrid holding his tail.

The four hybrids all look at their right when they hear another voice.

Hobi very tired says goodbye to Jaebum and leaves the dance studio when he sees his hybrids together. "Hi guys!" He screams making them look at him and he waves walking to them.

"Hi Hobi!" They all say. "So did you guys got it?" He asks Namjoon and Jin. "We did! And for the looks of it you got the job too!" Jin says smiling.

"Let's go. Y/N must be waiting for us." Yoongi says and all of them start walking towards home.

*With Y/N*

I leave my work earlier today knowing the boys may still be working so I take the change to go buy some congratulations presents for them.

So I buy some things that they wanted and satisfied I start going home to start dinner.

Wtf is it about VLD that leads to fans who get so goddamn worked up about literally anything? Like, the harassment of a VA is an extreme example and I know most people aren't like that, but so much of this fandom is, like, fucking rabid. To the point that I'm not surprised this happened. And I can't figure out why.

At the risk of sounding like a middle-aged white psychology professor, a lot of it has to do with the “Tumblr Phenomenon.”

People tend to overshare a lot on this website. Which makes sense, it’s a blogging platform, and blogs tend to be public diaries. It’s only natural that we dump our personalities all over the place.

But as a result, people are becoming more expectant of reveals. One reason for this is because we’re all kind of young and still coming into ourselves; people expect each other to list their age, gender, sexuality, pronouns, etc because most people are still discovering those things in real time. We’re all sort of voyeurs to each other’s personal journeys, and it shows in our demands for transparency.

People don’t just feel compelled to state their opinions; it’s demanded of them.

But in this like, clogged sea of opinions, it’s hard to stand out. And that’s one of the reasons why social media is so big, right? Because we’re all chasing that feeling of validation. We all want to be acknowledged, we all want to be seen and heart and treated as important. Tumblr is very good at inflating that false sense of importance.

Which is why our actions started to become performative. Yeah, we’re speaking our mind, but we’re couching it in the most entertaining way possible. It’s easier to sell something if it’s been softened with a meme. People are so desperate to be looked to, but we’re also all kids who need some kind of authority figure to point us in the right direction, and that’s why once blogs start gaining a little momentum they tend to end up as Big Name Blogs. But I’m getting sidetracked.

We’re all overdramatic dumbasses. To put it bluntly. There is no such thing as a “happy medium” anymore; we swing between extremes because that’s the only kind of response that’s accepted. Have you ever noticed how many people in this fandom talk like anime villains?? And it’s a given that every fandom has a few poisoned apples, but is it really a surprise how vitriolic these people are now?

Listen, I’m a Poli Sci major, and I am itching to draw a comparison between the rise of anonymous clowns in fandom with the rise in online hate speech as social media grants a platform to voices that were better left in the dark, but like. This response is already long enough and I’m really tired.

TLDR: When you look at the history of this website, specifically at the antics of the fandoms its hosted, you notice growing trends in terms of dramatic speech and extreme hate. In hindsight, it’s obvious we were always headed in this direction; the only thing we can do now is think as individuals about where we want to go now, and how we’re going to do it. Something that’s ridiculously hard to actually achieve.

My lost Knight at the St. Georges run

Date: 25th April 2015 Venue: Bukit Beruntung Four people and a dog (Patch) got lost at the St. Georges day run in Bkt. Beruntung. While I am aware of the distress it might have caused at the runsite, the night was not a total disaster. For me, it was actually heartwarming to experience so many kind souls that tried to help us at the kampung in Sg. Buaya. Plus there were moments of I found hilarious.. It was raining at the start of the run and I went in with two other hashers, Mike and Tammy and my dog Patch. At the start I went wrong and followed the paper on the right, unknowingly going in reverse. First mistake. We kept on the ridge and didn't go down to the lake on the right because I expected the trail to cross the ridge eventually, which it did. We followed the paper down the ridge only to run into hashers coming against us. At that moment, we realised we were going in reverse but never mind, having being told the run was 8km, we pressed on determined to finish the run in reverse on paper. Down onto a road, back into some rubber and then back into the road near some kampung house. Second mistake was to follow the paper to the right, but we soon realise the mistake and reversed back to the kampung houses where we could see slight traces of confetti paper still remaining after the rain. Here we met Kamran. I was happy to see him as here was a person who had come the right way from the runsite and should be able to lead us back (mind switches out of survival mode). However he first lead us on a long circular loop in the kampung (mind switches back on to survival mode) so I whip out my GPS to find the direction to home. We walk along until we found a dirt road leading uphill to the oil palm in the direction of home as indicated by my GPS. Kamran went ahead and found paper, a big relief. Now I was sure we can follow him and be home shortly (mind switches out of survival mode). I put away my GPS and even stopped checking to see if we were in fact still going in reverse by ground markings. The trail went on and on and on and it's late by the time Kamran comes to a spot where he realises he's going forward and not heading for home (mind panics into survival mode). Some bush whacking, it's getting darker and we're going around in circles and eventually Kamran is way out in front somewhere with Mike and Tammy trying to follow him, I can hear them in the distance. I'm looking at my GPS and can see we're heading further away from home. I have a GPS and a torch and a tendency to leave people and go off on my own to find home but not this time, instead I followed the calls and eventually came out in Sg. Buaya to meet the rest. Trying to decide what to do next, a car stops next to us. Patch does what comes naturally to her when a car stops and somebody winds down a window. Rise up and put her two front paws on the open window, scaring the driver. But still the lady driver offers to drive us to the runsite but not the dog (of course). No problem, I'd stay back with Patch while the rest get a lift back to the runsite and send a rescue car back. Good plan. The car rushes off and since I'm tired, I lie flat on a driveway next to the road. A car stops and the driver looks out. I sit up and wave at him. Next a bus stops. OK a bus can stop anywhere but when the driver gets out and walks towards me, I'm thinking it's a bad idea to lie down next to a main road like a dead person. The house I'm in front of could win the first prize for the most neglected yard ever with just a patch of grass with some wood propped up like a bench. Looks like nobody's home so I lie on that wood and wait. And wait. And wait. A taxi pulls up on the driveway. I get up to talk to him and again Patch does her 'stand up and try to sniff the driver' trick. The guy is not amused and says so but after I explain that I was taking the dog for a walk in the estate, got lost, had to come out to the kampung, blah blah, he becomes quite friendly. Says he's there to pick up his friend. I insist that there's nobody in the house but he makes a phone call and true enough, someone comes out of the house. That's the strange thing about kampung houses. It can be dead silent and dark but there are people inside. A house in the city will have the TV blaring and people making noises but not here. It's the same with the police station I'll get to later in this account. The taxi driver and his friend leave. And I wait. And wait. And wait. Kamran and company must be surely have arrived at the runsite by now, showered and had their makan and I'm stuck here. Suddenly the ladies car screeches to a halt in front of me and my three other lost companions get out. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. I'll later learn that the lady drove like a maniac to the Bkt. Beruntung toll, running all the red lights and almost running into a truck, all on a defective transmission. At the toll, she made a U-turn and came backwards. Maybe it was dark and her passengers were more concerned about surviving the ride but they never manage to find the runsite and so had driven back. Like I've said before, there are hilarious bits to the night. Anyway she apologises, ask if we need water (yes please), runs to a nearby house and brings back a huge plastic container of water. Before she leaves, Kamran and her exchange phone numbers on bits of paper. I'm thinking, why not? Kamran is young and full of hormones. She's a fast driver with a fast car. Who knows? Maybe it's a match made in heaven. So what to do now? Kamran wants to borrow my torch and bash through the woods to home but honestly I'm not that hopeful. Then the idea pops up to phone someone at the runsite. There's a lot of girls at the runsite but Kamran can't remember any of their numbers (a shame really). So it's only me with Katherine's number. A bike stops and we ask if he can call a number for us. No answer from Katherine's phone. Another plan shot to bits. The biker tells us there is a polis station just down the road. So we start walking to it. On the way, we meet another guy and I give Katherine's number another try. Again no luck. Mike and Tammy are ahead and walk way past the polis station but that's not surprising, it's dark and looks deserted. We walk in and the only things alive there are a bunch of cats and a sign out saying 'If you need help, please call this number'. Tammy tries to remember the number. We walk out to the main road and a tiny kitten follows me out, rubbing against my leg. On the main road, another motorcyclist stops and I talk to him. I describe our runsite location and after a while, he gets what I trying to describe and even has the name for it. Good. Another car stops. With my halting Bahasa and the motorcyclist helping us, we describe the runsite and the young driver says he knows it. He agrees to send only one person to the runsite (it's late at night, he does not know who we are, I understand) after he's dropped his passenger so of he goes. The group decides that I should go (more likely to find the runsite)and they will look after the dog. Car comes back. I get in and he makes a U turn just ahead to go towards Bkt Beruntung.
