#I never uploaded it for some reason I can't remember

Who sent the email to Sam?
It was "from Jon" as Sam said, or at the very least it seemed like that. It is only a name. Could be "him". Could be fake. But why the name Jon, specifically?
First, all we know about the email is that it was sent with a name, an address, and from an internal email. The name and address being of Gerry specifically, and not of Gertrude because she's not who Sam asked for. That's it.
Here's where I got confused. Why exactly did Sam ask Gerry about the magnus institute?? From this alone, this shouldn't occur to him. Maybe he researched the name and ,as he claimed then, found a list of the kids who were there.
But...well... while Sam is competent & of course he was always obsessed with the institute after what happened to him....if he had a way to find the list himself, do you think he would have waited until someone sent him an email to go look for answers??
Of course not! He'd have already checked every single name on the list! Or at least looked for better leads than just begging people to trauma dump on him. I think someone else gave him the list. Or really the idea to ask about the list.
(I for some reason can't upload pictures so I'll settle for copy pasting the parts I want).
SAM: Right. Of course. I was wondering if you knew anything about the Magnus Institute?
SAM: I was on one of their gifted kids programs and – um – I got hold of a list of a few of the other kids, and thought it might be nice if we could get in contact, swap stories and that…
GERTRUDE: I see. Well, I’m sorry, but I don’t think Gerry can help you –
GERRY: (casually) Yeah, I barely remember any of it.
SAM: Oh, so you were a candidate?
To me it sounds like Sam was winging it. He hesitated before mentioning the list as if he wasn't sure it existed. he then seems almost surprised when Gerry confirms he was in the institute.
My guess is he never saw the list! My guess is whoever sent Sam the email had heard about his connection to the institute, and sent him a lead vague enough not to cause suspicion to who may have sent it & THEN personally planted in his head the idea that the lead & institute were connected.
Now, who do we know that: knows of the name Jon, interested in the magnus institute, and Sam trusts enough to listen to their advice about something he already wanted to do?
Bingo. It is Celia. Celia is the one who sent the Jon email & I have more proof.
1- this exchange right after leaving Gerry's house:
SAM: …Thanks for coming with me, Celia. I know we’ve only been working together a few weeks.
CELIA: Hey, it was my idea, remember?
hm? Your idea you say. good to know, bestie!
2- it makes sense for her to use any name really. I don't think it matters. But we should remember that when she listened to her first case (by Chester) right after that Sam got his email. Literally in the same episode.
3- she was in a podcast with Georgie in this world (as far as Sam & google know at least) so it makes sense for her to be able to search & find the list!!
4- this is weak but well.... She works in the OIAR... She has an internal email and could make another one (or hack her way through or something).
I am sure there are other things that I just can't remember right now but anyway that leaves some questions
Why did she take the painting?
Why Gerry? I understand how she could find the list but why choose him? I doubt either Melanie or Georgie mentioned him before. Was it random? Plot reasons? Or maybe her target wasn't Gerry, but Gertrude.
She could know about Gertrude. She was the last archivist after all. But she wants a reason to go without someone suspecting her personally. So after some research (stalking) figures out she has a roommate. And hey would you look at that. The guy's name is in the list of kids experimented on by the magnus institute. And oh? Who is also on the list? Her new coworker. Now isn't that a funny coincidence! It would be a shame if someone were to.... Maybe.... Use this opportunity for totally, definitely ethical reasons.....such as sending Sam a little email & connecting him with an old friend!
I think of this because Celia is the one who asked Gerry if he lives alone. She directed the conversation to ask about Gigi.
Anyways I had maaaannny more thoughts about this. Alas, I am tired & going to bed.
Have I mentioned that Celia lives I'm my head rent free. Sorry, wanted to say it, in case it wasn't obvious.

Hello! After all this effort, behold:
DANGANRONPA DEMIX, THH EDITION!
Finally got the talentswap designs I have for the THH characters one and done with! You can click through the read more section for some fun design insights. I'm intending on uploading a doc containing short lore bits about them eventually.
Tumblr media
Kyoko Kirigiri - Ultimate Affluent Progeny
So Kyoko's design was both kinda simple, kinda not, wanted to give her a very fine and regal kinda attitude to her but not arrogant as that's very much Byakuya's thing. Her story is that she loves her dad more than the family business and her grandpa so she abandons detective work and just uses her brain to help her dad out.
Makoto Naegi - Ultimate Novelist
Makoto is a wonderful guy, just great all around. He loves writing children's books and happy stories. This is his main coping mechanism so he doesn't have to process any negative emotions he gets, the rest he can't process… well they go into a murderous psychopath alter.
Tumblr media
Aoi Asahina - Ultimate Lucky Student
Shoujo protagonist Aoi. Cute, headstrong, affective, competitive, these are all the traits that make her fight for her friends and clash with Kyoko (and more often than not Byakuya) in the killing game, even when all hope seems lost… she pushes through, unafraid to let tears spill from her eyes for all those lost, but pushing all the same.
Byakuya Togami - Ultimate Detective
This one, I wanna go into more lore territory, cause I kinda memed around his last desc I gave him so here goes:
"A disgraced heir of the Togami household, Byakuya lost the competition that would've secured his riches. Disdainful and bitter, he sought out to get to the bottom of why he lost, uncovering a rabbit hole in the process. By the end, he proved his sibling a cheater, but it didn't matter because by the end as he found the sweet satisfaction of uncovering secrets and crushing liars and cheaters under the weight of their hubris far more satisfying than any inheritance."
Tumblr media
Sayaka Maizono - Ultimate Spirit Medium
So Sayaka isn't a clairvoyant at all like Yasuhiro, in fact her entire skillset is completely different, first of all she is like an actual psychic, and I based her design off of the japanese Itako, quite loosely. Very interesting group, look it up, also she'll never use these powers in the killing game because I dunno how to even approach these rituals or what they look like or how to write them while remaining respectful, so she won't do it in a killing game for the express reason of her not having the right tools available and not wanting to disrespect her traditions.
Leon Kuwata - Ultimate Swimmer
I really wanna draw him again, all these characters again tbh, and I wanna show off the patterns on his wetsuit. It's a whole coral reef under there, that anemone and clownfish bit is only one part of a whole reef stretching his midline.
Tumblr media
Sakura Ogami - Ultimate Programmer
Sakura has installed chips into her body to help optimize her body processes and also cause why not. As for the muscles, she's an Assembly programmer, the programs she's made can run on calculators she loves it.
Chihiro Fujisaki - Ultimate Martial Artist
Chihiro's design here with the two belts is an explicit nod to his preferred martial art - Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, so unlike Sakura in canon who'd be easy to imagine cracking someone's skull in half with a chop, Chihiro's approach is more crawling onto someone and bringing them down to the floor with grappling like an angry halfling monk. As for the belts themselves, on his head is his final junior belt, while around his waist is his current belt, he's not a black belt yet because he's still too young for it.
Tumblr media
Celestia Ludenberg - Ultimate Baseball Star
Celestia actually isn't a legend in this AU, Taeko is. Celestia hates that and wants to start a baseball career going international, whatever the hell that means is up to her own definition, but she wants to be remembered forever as Celestia, not Taeko. Also extra sentence, but this is the SINGLE hardest design I've ever had to deal with here, I think in the future I'll be drawing all her little accessories and I have an alt costume for her I have in mind.
Hifumi Yamada - Ultimate Pop Star
So I changed Hifumi's story as I originally outlined in the OG post with him. He was friends with Aoi all his life, pretty much his only friend at all, and ever since he was little he had an obsession with writing songs, because he was obsessed with stuff like anime openings and was content to just keep the songs to himself. It wasn't till Aoi convinced him to share some of his songs that he started his journey to success, but bc he's not traditionally attractive, his first hits were literally just… his voice being played over other more attractive singers and it wasn't until very very recently that he even performed a song of his for the first time.
Tumblr media
Toko Fukawa - Ultimate Fanfic Writer
So while Hifumi was clearly a Doujinshi but due to weird translation, ended up as fanfic creator, Touko is straight up a FF then Wattpad then AO3 girl, who would get obsessed with this really shitty, tripe manga that she didn't even like reading. It did however have super hot dudes in it, so she wrote good stories of those characters when she got frustrated with the actual authorial content - which was always.
Yasuhiro Hagakure - Ultimate Gambler
Quite LITERALLY the never stop gambling meme personified into a guy. He can lose 3 mil on slot machines but always comes out fine because it means if he keeps gambling he'll eventually run into his 1/3 and win giga millions, what he needs to pay off his debts. It isn't just with luck though either because his personality and lack of intelligence or understanding of most the rules of the games he plays means he'll never react the way he should when getting a good hand in poker or a bad draw in blackjack, so he wins those games almost always through just… stupidity.
Tumblr media
Mukuro Ikusaba - Ultimate Biker
She's number 16 in her gang, and is easily the most loyal enforcer and taskman of the gang. She does anything she's told, to a grim and disciplined degree not typical for hooligan bike gangers, she doesn't really desire a seat as top dog of the gang though, after all she's got school to worry about, and her sister.
Mondo Owada - Ultimate Warlord
So his relationship and Kiyotaka's is gonna be interesting, because I don't want him to be exactly like Mukuro at all, who was just sort of an all-obsessed Yandere. It's more like he's always chafing under Taka, who is less than friendly with him in this AU, really the main way he even lets Taka boss him around is because he pays incredibly well and helps keep his gang members from devolving back into the unstructured, chaotic criminal life, the same that took his brother years ago.
Oh and yeah, he still looks like Guile, as he should.
Tumblr media
Sparkling Justice - Ultimate Killer Killer
Yeah it's a reference to Killer Killer, sue me I love the manga. He has Hajirahara's ahoge, and I thought it'd be cute to also give him a mask just like the other Makoto from a Kodaka game series (Raincode.) Also, while Genocide jack stuffs all her scissors in her skirt, Makoto keeps a truth gun with "truth bullets" as his main weapon, the gun he stores inside the big book in the chibi of just Makoto, and the bullets kept on his person as the red buttons all over his body, which he pulls out when he needs to reload.
"Kiyotaka Ishimaru" - Ultimate Fashionista
Unlike Mukuro and Junko, Mondo absolutely cannot hide the fact that he acts nothing like Kiyotaka, though this is surprisingly fine to everyone else, because unlike Junko who plastered herself onto literally everything, Mondo always obfuscated himself from the public spotlight, at most showing only his suits while he hid his face behind something conveniently placed. Which played primarily to his vision of an ultimate fashionista, who was above everyone and catered to the rich and powerful.
Tumblr media
Junko Enoshima - Ultimate Moral Compass
This was a fun one, I decided to let her have her red hair because I believe it to be the "natural" look of her hair, while attaching little clips of dyed hair to her buns as a replacement to keep her shape sorta and keep the strawberry blonde somwehere on her. Understand that while she is the "moral compass" she is still pretty deranged, and the only reason she focuses so much on keeping everyone on their best behavior is because it's endlessly entertaining to her to make her fellow moral committee members upset when she blatantly makes a mockery of the rules while still keeping kids on their best behavior to make a point.
Kiyotaka Ishimaru - Ultimate Fashionista and Tyrant, the Iron Hand of Despair
Taka's design I wanted to sort of focus on this sort of, holier-than-thou idea, where I wanted to make him look a lot fancier and upper-class than Junko does in his standard highschool fit compared to him. I wanted him to have an upper-crust sort of look
If you're reading this after reading this all, thanks! You're a wonderful person :) Signing off...

Every time YouTube nonsense happens I'm always like "I can't wait to see what Sergle says about this" because you're the only person I follow that talks about YouTube nonsense.
Please take this is an invitation for you to talk about the Watcher's apology video lol
I am a filthy youtube enjoyer so you can absolutely count on me and GODDDDDDDDDDD... I mean the apology is not NEARLY as funny as the blunder, so it hasn't kept my attention as much but like the obligatory upfront thing is that, like, it is good that they posted it, they apologized for being insensitive and whatever, they're not scraping their channel clean or going forward with their old plan to only post their shows on their own platform, and these are technically good and correct things, because they could have pretended not to notice all the negative feedback. So like, responding is good. BUT LIKE I HAVE QUESTIONS NOW... Because they took SO LONG to film and upload a video that basically is just "we fucked up, we're sorry, we're not gonna do that anymore", which doesn't exactly take a writer's room several days to cook, but I DIGRESS... They were quiet for long enough for everyone to LOOK REALLY CLOSE. After the initial reaction, people had time to do some pretty comprehensive cost breakdowns for their stuff, and for what they have to be pulling in from adsense, sponsored segments, patreon, merch, and touring Like, they'd need to be really mismanaging their finances, because they're doing very well for themselves, making good, stable money, and the vids they make are super duper advertiser friendly. SO... you take long enough without putting out a holder statement or a quick heel-turn apology or anything, it gives people more time to get comfortable with not liking you, and also to dig around and google things about you, or scrape up info/trivia about you to corroborate their new opinion of you. It gets personal, is what I mean. So pulling this move has still, at BEST, caused some permanent damage to their relationships with fans, in both directions. They all got a huge flood of negative feedback, and even a perfect, emotionally mature, non-entitled person would have a negative reaction to people being upset with them at such a high volume. But now they're gonna remember the things that people have said about them, and there's no way that at the very least, Steven isn't gonna feel spiteful about this. People TOTALLY unloaded on him (funny) (valid) about his evangelical christian conservative leaning tesla privileged out of touch boy gold flaked ice cream eating ways. He definitely is going to remember that ppl said they never liked him in the first place. As for Ryan and Shane, people didn't have any dirt on them, but they definitely still received a lot of angry messages from people, most of which will have been reasonable, but they're gonna remember the really really mean and intense ones. Anyway, they made a booboo dumb enough for jack to want to make a skit about it, so for that I'm very grateful, because I thought it was really really fucking funny

OBSESSED
Tumblr media
James Patrick March x F!Reader
Summary: James has aways been obsessed with you.. but what happens when you find out?
Warnings: smut!
a/n: scamp is old slang for a worthless fellow; a rascal - i like writing smut too much, not proofread!!!
wc: 2666
-
You sat at the bar of the Hotel Cortez, tapping your nails against the polished wood counter. Liz supplied you with refills every time you drank all of the alcohol. You let out a long breath, resting your hands on your face, elbows holding you up. You blinked back the tears that formed behind your eyelids.
"What's wrong, sweetheart?" You head shot up, Liz's question taking you off guard. You exhale again, putting your arms down to lay on the counter. You never made eye contact with her, too shame-filled to make any sort of connection.
"I just.. am I not lovable?" Your answer made Liz shoot up from her slouched position. Her mouthed opened quickly, trying to get something out before you kept talking. But you didn't let her. "I don't remember the last time I got asked out on a date. I mean, I always thought that maybe I isolated myself from others, but something just feels different. Am I that bad?" The tears from earlier reformed, quickly falling down your cheeks. You harshly wiped at them.
"Y/N, you have got to be kidding. You are truly one of the most beautiful women to come up to this bar. What I would do to look like you." She gave you a pointed look, before leaning down and picking up ingredients and picking up your glass again. She started mixing. "And, honestly," She paused for a moment, debating her options. "I may be wrong, but, I'm pretty sure March has been telling the ghosts and the people that walk into this hotel that you're off limits." She whispered, looking from left to right to make sure no one was there or listening.
Sally sat in the far back, her cigarette hanging between her two fingers. Before you could say anything or even have a reaction, you heard her laugh. "Yep! Heard James yapping at some poor kid the other day. 'You stay away from her, you scamp! You have zero cognition, nor are you worthy for a goddess like her!'" She recited, barking out another laugh, before taking a long drag from her stick.
You sat there, frozen. You James March to a certain extent. You were still human, unlike most at the Cortez, but you've stayed so long that you felt one with them. You had several confrontations with the dead owner, but he had never showed any sort of interest in you. At least not in that way.
"Wait.." You sat as still as you could, trying to process all of the information that just unfolded.
"You didn't know that March had taken an interest in you?" Liz asks, cleaning the counter and putting things away. You shook your head slightly, still lost in your thoughts.
You weren't exactly opposed to it. Whether the elegant man was talking to you or one of the ghosts, you never could break the eye contact between you and the way you admired him. You always found it odd when your chest tightened every time you heard or saw James with the Countess, but it now made you realize that it was jealousy that you got struck with.
James was quite literally the most beautiful man you have ever saw. His gelled hair, the sharp jawline, his beautiful nose. And those lips, god. You'd be lying if you said that you never thought about what they felt like.
But how come all of this is just making sense now?
"He's not very secretive about it, honey." Liz continues, resting her arms on the counter as she waits for your reaction. The two women stand there, waiting. Sally gets up from her seat and walks over to you. She sits down next to you at the bar, never letting go of her cigarette.
"Well, I'll tell you this," She takes another drag, inhaling the smoke, waiting for it to fill her lungs. "That man is absolutely obsessed with you. I mean, I think it's kinda creepy, but," She shrugs. "I guess I can't really say anything." She grips a bottle of alcohol, her rings stinging the glass, the loud sound reverberating through the tall, open room.
Your heart races as she talks. Once Liz and Sally start their own conversation, everything sounds muffled. Fog interrupts your mind, making your thoughts scatter. Before you knew any better, you got up from your seat, running towards the elevator.
"Sweetie, where are you going?" You hear Liz yell, once she realizes you're gone.
"I'm going to find answers."
-
You walk down the eery hallway, silence filling the air. Your fast footsteps echoed off the walls, showing your determination. Once you reach the door, you quickly walk in, not caring if he was in there or not.
As soon as you step foot inside, his back immediately turned to you. His white shirt was clean and ironed, his hair was perfectly slicked back, those pants showing off his long legs, and his cane in his right hand.
"Dear! What are you doing here at this time?" He takes a quick look at the grandfather clock on the other side of the room. It read: 11:38 pm.
"What is wrong with you?" You ask, not yelling, but your tone showed your irritation. He looked taken back, but slowly steps forward.
"Pardon?" His voice is laced with genuine confusion, his thin eyebrows furrowed. He's still a couple feet away from you, leaning on his cane.
"Why do you keep telling people that 'I'm off limits?'" You quote, your jaw clenched and your eyes piercing his.
"Oh, dear," He blows out air, his shoulders dropping. He looks off in the distance, trying to collect his words. "Y/N, dearest, you deserve better than those fools that walk into my Hotel." His sharp accent accentuating his point. "You are a goddess, made to have someone worship you from their knees." He sets his cane to rest on a table, walking over towards you in big strides. "Any man or woman that sets their eyes on you deserve to be killed because they don't deserve your attention. Anyone that lays a finger on you will not make it out alive because of me." He explains, looking deep into your eyes.
"But.. why? I don't understand, you barely know me- we barely talk! You can't just.." Your labored breathing takes over, the thought of James killing someone because of you making you feel sick.
"Oh, no, my love.. I do know you." A smile forms on his lips, inches away from you. "You know that I'm always with you. You know that I admire you from afar, watching the way that you laugh with Cleopatra at the bar, or.. when you have drinks with the other ghosts. But as soon as I see you with another human in my building.." He tsks, walking around you. "You know that I can't let them live." He whispers in your ear, resting his hands on your shoulders. His raspy voice sends shivers down your spine, your thighs clenching together. A deep laugh sounds in your ear, heat rushing to your face when you realize that he saw you squirm in his hold.
"You like that don't you, darling? That I would kill for you, that I would do anything for you." You felt his body press against your back, getting as close to you as possible. He never heard any protest, taking it as a green light to keep going.
"You are absolutely tantalizing, my love." He teases, his fingers slowly making their way up and down your arms. He felt the goosebumps raise on your skin, a sly smile overcoming his face. "Are you nervous?" He whispers, his hands drift down to your hips, grabbing it harshly, making you gasp.
"No." You lie, your voice cracking. James lets out another small chuckle, wrapping his right hand around your stomach, pushing you backwards, into his chest.
"Don't lie to me, my dear." He leans down to press his face into your neck, his nose tickling your skin. "I can all but hear your heart race, darling." His voice was slightly muffled by your neck, his moving lips tickling you. He presses little kisses against your soft skin, leading down to your collarbone.
Your body instantly envelops with cold air once you feel his presence leave you. Before you could turn around, James stood in front of you with his hand stretched out for you to grab. You obliged, making him smile. He brought you over to his neatly made bed, the back of your legs pressed against the end of the bed. He took both of your hands in each of his, bringing them up to his lips and kissing them.
"Do you consent to this, dearest?" His voice was calmer than it was before. Your heart melted at his words. nodding. Maybe waiting for him was the right decision.
He smiled wide, right hand reaching out to cup your cheek. He leaned down and set his lips on yours, taking your bottom lip between his. You moaned into the kiss when you felt him bite down on the plush skin. He smirked, your reaction already causing an effect on him.
Your arms wrapped around his shoulders, bringing him closer to you. You press your body against him, both of you groaning at the friction. His hands lay on your waist, tightening when he starts to lean forward and set you down on the bed. He hovers over you, admiring your features.
He traces your face, fingers barely pressing down, just hovering over your skin. "You are absolutely ravishing, my goddess." You almost whimper at the name, your eyes fluttering shut. James leans down again, pressing soft kisses against your skin. He slowly works on your shirt, telling you when to lift your arms so he could lift it off of you.
"The first time I make love to you, will be on this bed, not some unworthy floor." He whispers into your skin, moving away just to throw your shirt somewhere. He looks back down at you, watching over you like a hawk. His hands traced over your body, moving up to traced his thumbs over your clothed nipples. Your back arched, wanting more. He hummed, reaching behind your back (with your help of moving slightly, to give him a better angle) and unclipping your bra.
"You are so gorgeous, my love. Absolutely stunning." He praised, calloused hands reaching out and cupping your breasts. He leans down again, kissing and sucking on your nipple and skin. As he mouthed down your stomach, his hands moving down to undo your pants and pull them down.
"James," You whine, catching his attention. "You're wearing too much." You say as he throws away your pants. He chuckles deep from his throat.
"Of course, my dear." He clicks at his suspenders and unbuttons his white shirt. You reach out for him, raking your fingers over his body. Now it was your turn to undo his pants. He laughed at your eagerness, helping you by kicking his dress pants some place on the floor. "Lay back, my darling. Let me take care of you." He whispers, pressing kisses against your abdomen. His fingers play with the waistband of your panties, silently asking you if he could take them off. You nod against the soft, white pillow.
He slowly slides the fabric down your legs, spreading your legs. He immediately leans forward, licking a line up your slit. He groans, "You taste divine, my darling." He quickly dived back in, making your back arch.
"God.. James!" You moan, your hand gripping his hair tightly. He groans against you, vibrating your skin.
"Yes, dear, I am your God." His voice seemed deeper than usual, deepening your arousal. He sucked at your clit, his hands under your thighs, digging his nails into the plush skin. His tongue prods at your entrance, immediately pushing inside and moving around. You moaned his name over and over, James' boxers getting tighter and tighter by the second.
He pulled you in by the thighs, bringing you impossibly closer to him and his mouth. He was addicted to the taste of you. It was so much better than the alcohol and cigarettes he drinks and smokes; this was genuine lust. James didn't believe in any sort of religion, but you tasted like straight heaven. You were an absolute goddess and James was blessed to be able to walk on the same ground as you.
"Come on, dearest. You can do it, cum for me." One of his fingers comes down and spreads your folds. He pushes a finger inside you, his swollen pink lips latching onto your clit again. He pumps the finger in and out, adding a second one when he feels you clench tightly around it. His groans were muffled by you, making your body rake with pleasure. Your hips jerked up one last time, before coming undone on his fingers. As you moaned, James praised you through it, pulling his fingers out once he feels you calm down.
"You are such a doll, my beloved." He kisses back up your body, until he hovers his face over yours. You both smile, leaning up to press your lips against his. Your hands cup his face, bringing his lips closer to yours. One of your hands slides down his body, gripping the waistband, signaling you needed his help to take them off. One arm rests beside your head, holding him up and the other guides the undergarment down his legs and off on the ground. His forearms came back up to rest beside your head, occasionally slipping down to touch you.
"Are you ready, my darling?" He asked, his tip sliding between your folds. Your breath was caught in your throat, nodding instead of speaking.
He pushed in, both of you groaning in unison. Your nails dug into his back and shoulders, creating deep crescent marks in his pale skin. You avoided the large gash in his throat that signified he was dead, bringing one hand back into the nape of hair on his neck.
He hit a certain spot inside you, making you jolt. He chuckled, thrusting harder. "I think I found your spot, dearest." His voice had gotten raspier, if even possible. It sent a chill down your back, adding to your immense pleasure.
"Oh, James.." You moaned, clinging to his body. He groaned in your ear, never stopping his movements. His right hand drifted down your body, the ring on his pinky finger sending another shiver through you.
"You're so good for me, my dear. Come undone for me, love, please. You can do it, just relax." He coaxed you through it, two fingers reaching down to circle your clit. Your hips stutter and your back arches.
You moan as you reach your climax, euphoria taking over your body. As soon as James feels you clench around him and your release, he lets out a guttural moan, thrusting faster inside you.
"My goddess.. Y/N!" He exclaims, letting go. Once you both relax, James pulls out of you, laying down beside you on the bed. You both were heavy breathing, moving your heads to look at each other. "My darling," He was breathless, but brought his hand up to rest on your cheek and press his lips to yours. "Will you be my queen?"
You didn't hesitate to tell him yes. He smiled, leaning down again to kiss you. "Wait," You pull away. "Did you cum inside me?" Your eyes were wide as you saw him smirk.
"Well, dear, it looks like you're going to be mine forever."

I mean, I'd *like personally* if using CNTW meant something, as someone who genuinely does prefer to avoid the stuff covered in the archive warnings.... but I also understand the whole point is that it doesn't, and that in an archive you absolutely need a setting which just opts out of the need for warnings altogether.
They could be someone who puts that on every fic, because they don't feel like going through each of them like that, or because they ideologically oppose the idea of content warnings for whatever reason.
They could be someone who feels that putting specific warnings on it will spoil their fic, and they don't want to spoil. (I'm someone who doesn't care about spoilers ESPECIALLY with fanfic so I've always been a bit "eh" about this, but I get that I'm the minority here and also, it's the norm in original fiction. And I also get it's ultimately the author's discretion if they'd rather not spoil, and I respect that.)
They could mean that the person MIGHT include something that is warning-worthy later, but they aren't sure yet, so they're putting CNTW on there just in case because they feel putting on "No Archive Warnings Apply" and then changing it if they do decide to include character death/non-con/etc. later would be unfair to their readers.
They could mean that their use of something is borderline - for instance, underage sex alluded to, dubcon rather than noncon, violence they're not sure is graphic enough for the warning, etc. - and so they want to head off people who might be wary of that in any form/cover their asses, without drawing in people who are specifically looking for that element with false advertising. (This is how I often use them.)
They could be that they uploaded someone else's work with permission, but didn't specifically ask if they're okay with having warnings applied to their work.
It could be any of these things, and that's totally fine. The whole point is YOU DON'T KNOW. And if you click on a fic with that warning and it doesn't explain why it uses it, you're going in aware of that lack of knowledge and up for whatever version it is.
--
TBH, looking at my old stuff, I have a couple of cases where I barely remember the work and don't care to reread it. That's another common use, and it's really helpful for encouraging historical preservation. True, the CNTW means fewer people are clicking on these, but they're the kind of thing I'm including for completeness because I tell other people to do that.
I've also got some where I just got rid of the CNTW but I'm pretty sure it was on there because I was uploading in a hurry and meant to go think more deeply about tags later. Again, a "If I can't upload this in 2 seconds, I'm probably not getting around to it" issue.
Another one is for people who are very sure their dubcon is not noncon but who also know their fandom is full of douchebag antis who will constantly report them to AO3. If CNTW is on there, PAC will just tell the person reporting "Sorry, we're not even going to look at it", and the poster never gets contacted and bothered about this.

Katsuki & Kinks pt. 1 Praise
a/n: I'll be uploading drabbles/headcanons Monday's during the month of October 😈 You can check the masterlist for what kinks i have planned, but if there's one you wanna see that isn't included feel free to send a request :)
If you'd like to be tagged, lmk! I'd be happy to add you to the taglist (you must be over the age of 18 and have your age accessible in your bio)
Minors DNI
cw: gn!reader, praise kink, body worship, make up sex, hints at overstim, kats is #1 hero bc I said so
Katsuki has a praise kink and no one will convince me otherwise (though does anyone disagree?)
Not so secretly likes it when people call him number one hero (he's so smug abt it too 🙄), but he especially loves it when you call him that. Once you called him number one in bed, just because you were curious if it would turn him on, and he swears he's never come so much or so hard.
We all know Kats loves when you ogle his body or call him pretty or handsome. Even if he denies it, he can't avoid the way his cock twitches when you do 😏
Is also excited when you compliment his combat style. Everyone always talks about how gifted he is, but he doesn't care about what some extras say about him. If you're the one saying it, though, he's ecstatic.
He's so unused to being complimented or given credit for anything other than his combat skills, so honestly any genuine and thoughtful comment lives rent free in his head even if he never shows it (he's shy)
Loves to compliment you when yall are fucking and honestly during sex is when he compliments you the most
He just wants you to know how good you're being
But fr tho it's bordering on worship, the way he plants kisses into your skin as he tells you how good you are for him.
Wants you to know how much you turn him on, how good you feel
Loves sex after fights for this reason because he can praise you heavily, his way of apologizing if he fucked up (just wait until he thinks you're the one who fucked up)
He's not so great with words, and even worse with apologies, but he'll do his damnest to show you he's sorry by telling you how amazing you are and pulling orgasm after orgasm out of you until you can't even remember why you were mad at him.
an: Thanks so much for reading pt. 1! Comments/rbs/❤️ are always appreciated 🥰

What happened to the yearly YTP highlights?
For context, there are a handful of videos on DaThings highlighting the best jokes (according to myself) from my YTPs of a given year, ranging from 2010 to 2014
This is a very good question!
In my own perspective, the videos I published in 2009 aged the most poorly the most quickly. I think it only took two or three years for me to look back on that era unfavorably, so I was always hesitant about the idea of making a 2009 highlights video. I might have started and abandoned it at some point, but I can't fully remember.
These days I'm getting more endeared to those old videos again as I endeavor to stop cringing so much and love my younger self, but that doesn't mean the process of re-watching and curating them is easy for me.
I didn't upload very much in the year 2015 so for a while I wanted to combine all of 2015-2017 into a single highlights video, but I never took the time to sit down and do it. There isn't really a solid reason I have for abandoning the highlights at the exact point that I did.
Ever since I began making videos as my full-time job in 2020 I've always felt the pressure to focus on new stuff. So side projects like the YTP highlight videos took a back seat.
All of that said, it's most certainly not impossible that they'll come back! In fact I'm playing with the concept of doing more supplementary videos between the big projects going forward. Stuff like the Ticycle Bires and Schrader Valves remaster and mini-YTPs like Look What Made Dod Mad are part of that, but compilations are a big consideration as well.

You know the video where dan reacts to his old videos? The one from like 2016 or something? He admits that talking to phil is the reason he started youtube in that video, so yes, dinok is literally an au where he never met phil 😢 i think that in big he talks about starting youtube first and then about meeting phil, but we know the right order of that lol 😤 all of this is crazy to think about ngl, meeting phil is really what started it all...
define "meeting". i like how Dan almost. ALMOST. rewrote the history in BIG. but not quite. he filmed and uploaded "hello internet" before meeting Phil irl. so, i guess, technically, that's a correct order. also, "And this is when, through the magic of the internet, I met Phil" – when aka when he uploaded the video, created dailybooth and blah, blah. it all happened almost at the same time, didn't it? Sept-Oct 2009. in BIG he mentions getting formspring before "through the magic of the internet" which IS interesting but i wouldn't pay too much attention to it because i personally mix dailybooth and formspring all the time, and no way in hell i would remember that formspring was launched only in November 2009. but would i have a memory of starting it alongside everything else that autumn? probably.
the whole storytelling in BIG has some elements that make you question things but also, lol, if you know you know.
i remember people highlighting the past tense in that paragraph about Phil. and jesus fucking christ, it's still funny, and English isn't even my 1st or 2nd language. it's like riddles all over the BIG script, and you're nodding along the way but sometimes your brain goes ???? and then you let go and keep nodding. it's fun that everything leads to BIG since it was uploaded. 5 years and we still can't let go. and i think it's beautiful.

Ai Mikaze (All Star)
Translator: Nadie (twitter: NmoniaG)
Proofreader: Raine (twitter: amagiyas)
Editor: Noemi (twitter: dreaminbeyond)
Chapter 6 - Gondola at Dusk
Tumblr media
After undergoing maintenance, Mikaze-senpai returned to his work. 
Filming for the movie also resumed after its long break, and at the end of February, everyone was working hard to wrap up the shooting.
Most of my time in February was taken up finishing jobs that had accumulated over the holiday season.
However, I’m also managing some of Senpai’s events to accompany him to his work.
The reason doesn't really matter. As long as I can be by his side, I’m happy.
Ai Mikaze: Why are you grinning like that? Are you making good progress?
Haruka Nanami: Uwah?! Oh, sorry, I’m on it.
I suddenly realize that Senpai’s standing there holding a cup of coffee in his hand.
Ai Mikaze: Don’t "Oh!" me. You know it’s not good to space out during work. Did you upload the BGM score?
It’s March 1st. Filming will continue in the afternoon.
Until then, I will use this short time to get the BGM checked.
Ai Mikaze: Really… pull yourself together. Here, take this. I won’t drink it, but if you don’t keep yourself awake you’ll keep spacing out.
He puts the cup of coffee on the table with a sigh.
Haruka Nanami: Ahh—sorry! You even made me coffee….
Ai Mikaze: It’s alright, just drink it! You're the only one who gets this special treatment from me.
He says while deliberately adding milk to the cup.
Haruka Nanami: Okay….
His way of speaking seems a bit frank but that’s just like him so it makes me happy.
However, our time together like this is limited.
He takes a look at the BGM score I hand him.
Ai Mikaze: Mhm, it’s nice. Your songs are just like you…. I can feel some sort of kindness in them.
After cutting himself off from Aine-san, Mikaze-senpai became even more like a human being.
In exchange for a deadline, he received the treasure of “free emotions.”
I have to create a song for the Song Festival that shows that freedom to its fullest.
Haruka Nanami: Thank you very much. I’ll also do my best for the Song Festival!
"Mhm," he adds with a nod and looks at my face as I put the coffee cup to my lips.
Tumblr media
It’s afternoon when we arrive at the filming location.
Reiji Kotobuki: Heyah—! Ai-Ai, Kouhai-chan! Long time no see—♪
Kotobuki-senpai rushes towards us.
Haruka Nanami: Oh, Kotobuki-senpai! Um, thanks for the other day….
Ai Mikaze: The other day?
Mikaze-senpai eyes me with a suspicious look as I bow politely.
Haruka Nanami: Ah—No, it’s…!
Reiji Kotobuki: Come on, don’t give us that scary look! She only came to ask for some advice. Dear me~ You really shouldn’t worry our little Kouhai-chan so much ☆
Ai Mikaze: Huh? Er, okay….
Reiji Kotobuki: Anyways, I’m glad that you’re feeling better now! On that topic—why is it that you never reply to my messages, Ai-Ai?!
Ai Mikaze:  Because your messages are too long! There are so many special characters that they make it hard to read. As a result, I can't even tell which parts of your messages are important.
Reiji Kotobuki: On the other hand, yours are way too short! When I finally get a reply it’s mostly just single words like “Okay” or “No”!
Ai Mikaze: I mean, there's no reason to write more than that….
I puff up my cheeks.
It’s been so long since I’ve seen these two talk to each other on set. They seem to have a good time.
Their conversation ends and Mikaze-senpai gets ready on standby.
Reiji Kotobuki: Kouhai-chaaan, can I have a moment?
Kotobuki-senpai seems to be beckoning me to a corner of the filming set.
Haruka Nanami: What is it?
Heading his way, Kotobuki-senpai makes a shushing gesture.
Reiji Kotobuki: Do you know what day it is today?
Select the phrase!
ホワイトデー White Day (+0)
Haruka Nanami: White Day! No, that can’t be right.
Reiji Kotobuki: Nonono, you must be kidding! March has just begun! It’s the 1st!
Haruka Nanami: Huh… the 1st, so…. No way….
Reiji Kotobuki: Eh, what? Could it be that you just remembered?
Haruka Nanami: Isn’t today… Mikaze-senpai’s birthday?
Kotobuki-senpai hangs his head, crestfallen.
誕生日 Birthday (+15)
Haruka Nanami: Of course! March 1st is Mikaze-senpai’s birthday!
Kotobuki-senpai claps.
Reiji Kotobuki: Right, correct answer~! Heeere, since Kouhai-chan answered correctly, you win this Super Nice Guy Doll!
Haruka Nanami: Oh, this doll, I’ve seen it on some kind of quiz show before.
… But anyway, it’s today?
Haruka Nanami: It’s his birthday… but….
Because of all that happened last month, I completely forgot to prepare something for it.
Reiji Kotobuki: My? Could this air be the “I’m-not-prepared-at-all” mood?
Haruka Nanami: S-sorry…. I've been so caught up in the hustle and bustle recently….
撮影の日 Day of the filming (+10)
Haruka Nanami: It’s the day of the filming?
Reiji Kotobuki: That’s true. Yeah, that it is. No doubt about it.
—As if!! Aren’t you forgetting something more important about this day?!
Haruka Nanami: Ah! March 1st…. Today is Mikaze-senpai’s birthday?!
Reiji Kotobuki: Oh man, pull yourself together, partner!
I slap my cheeks, throwing Kotobuki-senpai off.
Haruka Nanami: No way, so it’s today….
Reiji Kotobuki: Correct! Today’s Ai-Ai’s birthday. So I thought maybe we should all celebrate it together, as a surprise~? 
Kotobuki-senpai says cheerfully.
Reiji Kotobuki: —And then I thought, everyone on set should give him a present, but what present would he like?
Something that Mikaze-senpai would like….
Select the phrase!
メッセージカード A message card (+15)
Haruka Nanami: How about a card with messages from everyone? He can enjoy it whenever he looks at it.
Reiji Kotobuki: I see, I see. In that case I’ll fill the card to the fullest with all my heart!
Haruka Nanami: T-then it won’t be a team effort anymore!!
Kotobuki-senpai gives a hearty laugh.
Messages from everyone…. Can I also write something on it? I think I will.
記念撮影 A commemorative picture (+10)
Haruka Nanami: In that case, what about a photo with everyone for commemoration….
Reiji Kotobuki: Oh, sounds good! There happens to be a photographer here today. I’ll ask them to take a professional photo!
Haruka Nanami: Okay!
After it’s shot I can put it in a frame and give it to him as a present.
Kotobuki-senpai wastes no time and calls out to the photographer.
手作りケーキ Handmade cake (+0)
Reiji Kotobuki: What? Right now?! Er, if we buy the ingredients we could probably decorate it with everyone's help… maybe?
Haruka Nanami: Right…. Oh, er—
Mikaze-senpai isn’t really fond of food to begin with, so it wasn't the best suggestion.
Haruka Nanami: It really is too sudden to start now. We’d have to leave the set for it too…. Should I get some flowers?
We end up discussing what kind of bouquet to get for Mikaze-senpai.
Reiji Kotobuki: Alright, I’ll leave the shopping to you! Get on your way and be careful!
“Here are your war funds!” He hands me a coin purse with a salute.
Haruka Nanami: Oh—Okay! I’ll be on my way!
I hurriedly return his salute.
Since the consultation is over, I run to the nearest main road to go shopping.
Tumblr media
Let’s buy the things Kotobuki-senpai asked for, as well as some party poppers and all the party goods I can think of!
Haruka Nanami: This much should be fine…. Ah, that’s right!
Noticing a general store, I head inside.
I should also give Senpai a present for his birthday.
For this one, I pull out my own purse and look around the store.
What should I get….
Select the phrase!
ピヨちゃんの時計 Piyo-chan clock (+0)
I reach for the Piyo-chan alarm clock.
The alarm sound coming from the yellow device imitates Piyo-chan.
Haruka Nanami: Hmm… I think that’s a little too cute.
Shinomiya-san, who loves Piyo-chan, would have liked this. However, I can’t even imagine Mikaze-senpai waking up to this.
I look around the shop. There has to be something else.
海の写真集 Ocean photo book (+20)
I grab an ocean themed photo book.
One photo shows a sea’s coral reef in its rich colors.
Haruka Nanami: It’s beautiful, but I want to find something that’ll be easier to carry around.
I look around the shop.
マフラー Scarf (+15)
I grab a white scarf.
Haruka Nanami: That’s right, Senpai gave me a scarf for christmas.
However, it’ll be spring soon. So giving him a scarf now would be….
Hoping to find something better, I look around some more.
I come to a stop at the accessory corner.
My eyes land on a bangle and I reach out for it.
The silver bangle in my hand is slim with a simple design. It's inlaid with what appear to be natural blue stones.
There’s a small sign next to it.
“An accessory, adorned with the birthstone for march: aquamarine. Aquamarine is also called ‘mermaid tears’.”
I haven't seen Senpai wear accessories in private before but….
Haruka Nanami: This would suit him.
Deciding to wrap it myself, I go to the wrapping corner to prepare his present.
Tumblr media
After buying everything I need, I prepare to head back to the filming location when I suddenly notice a familiar face walking towards me.
His white coat stands out on the city streets.
Haruka Nanami: Professor…. Why are you here…?
Professor: Just by chance. No need to be so wary.
Before me stands the professor.
This is my first time seeing him since the day Mikaze-senpai collapsed.
Could he be staying near Mikaze-senpai because he’s worried about him?
Haruka Nanami: Uhm… how is Aine-san?
Professor: He's still asleep. Even after all that, his condition hasn't changed and he's still stable.
Although their connection was cut, Aine-san continued to sleep.
“Is this for the best?” That thought slips my mind.
Professor: Hey now, don’t give me the long face. We can be happy about this outcome.
Haruka Nanami: Huh…?
Professor: Ai told me that we don’t have to force Aine to wake up. He should have the strength to wake up by himself.
He said: “What else can we do but believe in his strength?”—Can’t believe Ai was the one to tell me something like that.
Haruka Nanami: …Mikaze-senpai told me that he met Aine-san.
“Seems like it.” The professor says with a nod.
Professor: For humans, there are times when they want to run away and times when they want to rest.
I became so desperate in my deed to save Aine, I never thought about everyone else’s feelings.
I hurt Aine, Ai, and also you. For that, I’m sorry.
Everyone’s feelings….
Haruka Nanami: But… I believe that having someone who is waiting for you must be a truly wonderful thing.
You wanted to help wake Aine-san, and I don’t think that those feelings were futile.
So please, just wait for him.
He nods silently.
Professor: About Ai, to be honest there is still nothing we can do. I can’t access his system.
Haruka Nanami: Oh… I see….
I clasp my hands together tightly.
Professor: However, I’ll keep trying until the very end. I’ll give it my all to save even a fragment of his memory! Hopefully, I can do that at least.
Haruka Nanami: …Please. I'm counting on you.
Professor: I also plan to let Aine hear your song for the Song Festival.
Haruka Nanami: Of course…. Mikaze-senpai and Aine-san seem to have made a promise with each other.
That’s what I tell him.
Shortly after, the professor leaves to continue his business. 
Haruka Nanami: … Until the very end….
One day, that moment will come. Is there something I can do until then?
I check the time.
Haruka Nanami: Oh, it’s already this late!
I have to go back now or the filming will be over.
Haruka Nanami: Time sure passes quickly.
I start running back to the set.
Tumblr media
Once the filming ends, Mikaze-senpai prepares to leave after thanking everyone. That’s when Kotobuki-senpai calls out to him in an attempt to hold him up.
Reiji Kotobuki: Whoa there, wait a minute—! Stay! Hey, stay! And now, everyone assemble!
He firmly grabs Mikaze-senpai by the collar.
Ai Mikaze: Wha—what? Stop it, Reiji…. Idiot, you're ruining my clothes!
Dragging him back on set, Kotobuki-senpai promptly gathers the staff members and actors together.
Reiji Kotobuki: Are you ready~? Well, well everyone, now together! Ready—go! Congratulations, Ai-Ai!!
At once, everyone cracks their party poppers as congratulatory words surround him from all sides.
Natsuki Shinomiya: Congratulations!
Syo Kurusu: Congratulations, Ai!
Shinomiya-san and Syo-kun who arrive later also crack open their poppers with great enthusiasm.
Ai Mikaze: Huh? Right, thank you. But what are we celebrating?
Mikaze-senpai looks at us with puzzled eyes.
Reiji Kotobuki: Oh, stahp it~! Today’s Ai-Ai’s birthday, no? Yet another year closer to adulthood. Whooo—! A merry occasion!!
Ai Mikaze: Uh… birthday…? A birthday celebration for me…?
Still being somewhat unsure, Mikaze-senpai looks at everyone around him.
Syo Kurusu: Don’t tell me…. Is this your first time celebrating your birthday?
Mikaze-senpai replies with a nod.
Whaaat?!—everyone exclaims in shock.
Ai Mikaze: I do have the knowledge about celebrating these but… I see… so my day of birth can be celebrated as well.
Senpai murmurs.
A Bavarian cake is placed on the table.
I bought it thinking that he might like something with some jelly on it.
Reiji Kotobuki: ‘Kay, now—without toppling the candles over, blow them out like whoo, whooo!
Ai Mikaze: “Whoo”? Uhm, how do I do it? Should I just blow them off by expelling the air through my lips?
Mimicking Kotobuki-senpai’s lip shape, I’ve rarely seen Mikaze-senpai this flustered.
Haruka Nanami: You got it! And now, you put out the flame on all the candles!
Everyone watches Mikaze-senpai.
Ai Mikaze: Err, this is somehow really embarrassing…. Uhm… whoo—?
Hesitantly, Mikaze-senpai puts out the candles on top of the cake.
Afterwards, we take a commemorative picture and hand him a message card with a small flower bouquet.
As a side show, we have Kotobuki-senpai parodying Mikaze-senpai, and for some reason he then asks Shinomiya-san and Syo-kun to do a comedy sketch together.
The party continues for a little while longer.
Standing in the center surrounded by everyone, Mikaze-senpai still seems a little confused, but a side of him also looks happy….
Hopefully, this will become a good memory for him.
I can’t help feeling a little saddened by these thoughts, however I try not to let it show.
Tumblr media
Haruka Nanami: Senpai, is everything alright? You look troubled….
Ai Mikaze: It’s because of the parody that Reiji did of me. Am I… really always like that?
Haruka Nanami: Uhm, well….
We’re on our way home from the birthday party.
The parody that Kotobuki-senpai did of Senpai was indeed accurate down to his usual  expressions, but it was a bit too exaggerated.
Ai Mikaze: And moreover, I couldn't laugh at Natsuki and Syo's comedy skit where neither one would make remarks at the other's absurd actions. More or less, it seemed like their act was about poking fun at Mikaze-senpai's skill in not reacting to people's silly behavior, but making a good comedy skit without any witty remarks is tough to pull off.
Haruka Nanami: You’re as strict as always, Senpai.
Ai Mikaze: Hehe, but it was fun! I was surprised when everyone suddenly congratulated me, but it made me happy.
Haruka Nanami: Thank goodness….
As I mumble, Mikaze-senpai looks at me briefly and smiles.
Haruka Nanami: Ah! That’s right! Senpai, I have a present for you!
Tumblr media
We went to a nearby park and sat down on a bench.
I hand him a paper bag which he opens clumsily.
Ai Mikaze: This is… an accessory? A blue stone. It must be aquamarine, right?
He holds the bangle up against the park’s streetlight.
Haruka Nanami: That's right. Aquamarine is the birthstone for March, and they’re also called “mermaid tears.”
Ai Mikaze: Heh…. Doesn’t it fit me perfectly then? However, I don’t know how to put this on. Can you put it on for me? Please?
He holds his hand and the bangle out to me.
Haruka Nanami: Sure!
I put the bangle on his wrist.
The aquamarine stone and the silver of the bangle have a sparkling shine.
Ai Mikaze: Oh, it fits my wrist perfectly! It’s pretty…. Thank you, I will take good care of it.
He holds the bangle up in the park’s streetlight yet again and narrows his eyes.
I’m glad he likes it. But at the same time, an indescribable sadness overcomes me.
Just when the two of us are finally alone, why do these thoughts keep coming to mind?
Ai Mikaze: Listen…. I don’t want you to feel sad for me.
As if he had noticed my feelings, Senpai turns to face me.
Ai Mikaze: A lot has happened, but now I have people who celebrate my birthday and that makes me really happy.
Besides, seeing your sad expression is also painful for me. I know it’s not easy but… can you try smiling for me?
Haruka Nanami: Smiling….
Senpai smiles gently.
Ai Mikaze: Truthfully, leaving you also hurts me, but I will do it in such a way that you won’t feel sad. Because you see, I want you to remember my smile.
He gently holds his pinky out.
Ai Mikaze: A pinky promise. That’s what you do when you make a promise, right?
I nod. Then I entwined his slim pinky with my small pinky.
Ai Mikaze: Cross my heart I will not lie, or else I'll eat a needle pie. Pinky promise.
He chants the rhyme as if singing the words. The moment we let go of our pinkies, the bangle around his wrist jingles.
Ai Mikaze: Now it’s a promise! ….Hey, will you smile for me? I want to see your smiling face over and over again.
Haruka Nanami: Over and over, you say?
To my question, he only points to his head making a tapping gesture.
Ai Mikaze: Yes. I want to fill my remaining memory with your smiles.
I smile at him and then he softly pats my head.
Tumblr media
From then on, neither of us brought up the topic of our eventual parting. Instead, we focused on the Song Festival and worked on our song together.
Today is finally the last day of filming.
With the ocean in the background, the mermaid prince wishes for the heroine’s happiness and offers her a song. This is the scene where he turns into foam and disappears.
Their first encounter was also at this ocean.
The now grown-up heroine has lost her eyesight due to an accident. She can no longer see the prince, who has lost his voice.
She’s talking about the most beautiful times of her life.
Like the fateful encounter she had at this beach. That day, the heroine’s and mermaid prince’s hearts connected in song.
Halfway through her story, it becomes a monologue.
“I want to hear the song from that time,” she says. Wanting to make her happy, he starts singing with all his heart.
As soon as he uses his voice, he’s fated to disappear into foam. In spite of that, he continues to sing.
Kotobuki-senpai came to watch Mikaze-senpai’s acting.
Reiji Kotobuki: Man, he’s changed…. Amazing. He’s like a totally different person.
Kotobuki-senpai mutters to himself.
Haruka Nanami: You're right. But now it's all coming to an end….
Kotobuki-senpai nods in agreement.
Reiji Kotobuki: You know, when you mentioned Aine that one time I was really shocked. What if Kouhai-chan met him somewhere? That thought crossed my mind.
Haruka Nanami: Huh…?
Reiji Kotobuki: I want to believe that he’s still alive somewhere. And for whatever reason, he hasn't come back. It’s better to think that way…. It puts my mind at ease.
Haruka Nanami: …Do you have regrets?
Reiji Kotobuki: I do. If there’s one thing that I regret, then it’d be the fact that I couldn’t have a proper conversation with him before he left. After all, he vanished so suddenly.
With that said, Kotobuki-senpai turns back to Mikaze-senpai.
Reiji Kotobuki: To be honest, a part of me started seeing resemblances between the two of them.
But Ai-Ai is strong. On the other hand, since he’s strong there are still things to worry about. I just don’t want what happened once to repeat itself all over again.
He should be more like me and learn to loosen up. There are way too many dangerous guys out there.
“A whole army of them,” he adds and laughs bitterly.
Reiji Kotobuki: Hey, Kouhai-chan. No matter what, be willing to listen to him, okay?
Haruka Nanami: ….
Reiji Kotobuki: If something happens, he probably won’t come and tell me. I don’t believe I’d have the confidence to face him then either.
I’m not in a position to say this, but if it’s Kouhai-chan then you’ll be fine.
If by some chance he tells you that he’s going somewhere, can you see him off properly? Since I was never able to do so.
Haruka Nanami: Kotobuki-senpai….
Reiji Kotobuki: Ahaha. Sorry for the weird conversation. A new chapter starts for Ai-Ai today. We’ll finish filming soon.
My~ The filming took a long time, but it was fun!
Kotobuki-senpai laughs and the last scene ends.
Director: Cut!! …Good, OK!!
Upon hearing the director’s last words, applause erupts all around.
Ai Mikaze: Everyone…. Thank you very much for everything!!
The applause gets significantly louder as he bows.
All the co-actors gather around Mikaze-senpai.
Natsuki Shinomiya: Good job, Ai-chan! You were wonderful!
Syo Kurusu: Somehow I… I was really touched.
His eyes are red-rimmed from crying, and he quickly wipes them with his sleeve.
Reiji Kotobuki: Good job on your first main role—! My, isn’t this already the face of a real actor? Is there hope for your next work?
Ai Mikaze: That’s too hasty! Really now…. But… thank you.
Mikaze-senpai smiles as he takes a bouquet from Kotobuki-senpai.
Ai Mikaze: I really mean it… thank you for everything!
He faces the co-actors and staff members before bowing deeply.
Tumblr media
The filming was finished, and by the time everything had been packed up the day was already coming to an end.
The Ferris wheel gondolas were lightly rising into the evening sky.
That’s where I discovered Mikaze-senpai’s secret last year.
We both look up at the Ferris wheel.
Ai Mikaze: Let’s take a ride on it before going home. I want to see the scenery from up there once again. Only if you’re not scared, of course.
Haruka Nanami: It’s not scary anymore! After all, I have you by my side.
We both laugh.
Ai Mikaze: Well, it’s not as cold as it was last year, and even if it does stop, I’ll stay by your side again all night.
Haruka Nanami: Huh?! T-that’s….
He flashes a mischievous smile, standing in front of the Ferris wheel.
Ai Mikaze: Come on, shall we? We have more than enough time today.
He takes my hand and runs ahead.
Tumblr media
We take off on the Ferris wheel and it feels as if we’re floating to the stars.
This time we’re sitting next to each other. He’s still holding my hand, and it feels warm and pleasant.
We can see the light displays shining on the shore across the water. 
Ai Mikaze: I wonder what happened afterwards.
Senpai mutters to himself while looking at the lights.
Haruka Nanami: …After what?
Ai Mikaze: I’m talking about the movie.  I wonder what the heroine did after the mermaid prince disappeared?
They didn’t continue the story after that. However, I think the heroine continued to live alone after the prince’s disappearance….
They don’t reveal what happens after the prince disappears and leave it up to the viewer’s imagination.
SELECT THE PHRASE!
わかりません I don’t know (+0)
Haruka Nanami: I don’t know….
But… I think the emotions she felt in those happy moments will stay in her heart forever.
思い出と共に生きていくShe keeps on living with their memories (+20)
Haruka Nanami: I’m sure that he was able to reach her through his song and his prayer for her happiness.
Over time, her memory will fade. Of his face, his voice…. She might even forget him one day.
Only the feelings from those fleeting moments of happiness might remain in her heart forever.
悲しんだと思うI think she suffers (+10)
Haruka Nanami: I think she’ll suffer deeply. Just when she realized that he’s the one from that day, he disappears.
Senpai just mutters a silent “I see.”
Ai Mikaze: I wonder what will happen in our case.
The gondola steadily rises higher and higher.
The noise of the city fades away and silence takes over.
It’s so quiet that we could hear our breaths. In this silence, I'm drawn to the shared warmth of our linked hands. 
Ai Mikaze: Listen… Haruka.
He tightens his grip on my hand slightly so I look over to him—
—and meet his eyes which are fixed on me.
Ai Mikaze: I've finally come to understand the feeling of liking—of loving someone.
It’s not just happiness when you’re together. Sometimes it’s tough, painful and suffocating but….
Just the thought of them alone warms your heart. That’s how powerful it is. It makes me a little proud of myself.
I love you, Haruka.
I finally got to understand this emotion—my treasure. 
Senpai laughs happily.
Seeing his smile, my next words spill out naturally.
Haruka Nanami: I’m also in love with you, Mikaze-senpai! These feelings are also my treasure.
Ai Mikaze: …Thank you.
Senpai hugs me tightly.
Ai Mikaze: Robots don’t know love. So this is love. It took me a long time to realize that I’m in love.
No matter what happens from now on, the fact that I got to know such a wonderful feeling makes me so happy!
“I’m also really happy.”
Instead of answering with those words, I hug him tighter in response.
Communicating heart to heart—this moment is the happiest in the world. I want to feel it with my whole body.
Ai Mikaze: Can I… ask for something?
He whispers as we’re hugging in the lightly swaying gondola.
Haruka Nanami: …What is it?
Ai Mikaze: I might want… to kiss you. Can I?
SELECT THE PHRASE!
はい Yes (+30)
It’s very embarrassing, but if it’s with Mikaze-senpai then….
Haruka Nanami: Yes….
I answer relieved, casting my eyes down….
Ai Mikaze: Oh… I’m glad. Somehow I’m really happy. It makes my heart beat so fast.
きっ、キスですか?K-kiss? (+15)
Ai Mikaze: I mean, the one we shared previously in your kitchen was an accident…. It doesn’t count as a real kiss, so….
Bashfulness is mixed in with his words.
Haruka Nanami: T-that’s right…. So you remember.
Ai Mikaze: There’s no way I’d forget! I have an excellent memory after all. So, please…?
I nod without a word.
今ですか!?Now?! (+0)
I look up in surprise and see Senpai with a little pout on his face.
Ai Mikaze: But we even expressed our feelings with each other…. So can’t we…?
He tilts his head. Without saying a word, I nod in agreement.
Ai Mikaze: To be honest, I don’t know what to do but you don’t have to be nervous.
I can see Mikaze-senpai’s long eyelashes and his clear eyes right in front of me.
Ai Mikaze: Uhm, and also… can you close your eyes?
Haruka Nanami: Ah—okay!
I close my eyes tightly and can feel Senpai’s body heat.
The tip of his nose touches mine.
At that moment, it feels like time has stopped.
Haruka Nanami: …?
When I don't feel our lips touching at all, I slightly open my eyes again.
Ai Mikaze: You see, our noses… they bump into each other. What should I do?
Senpai is completely at a loss.
Haruka Nanami: Huh? I think you might have to try tilting your head a little?
Ai Mikaze: Tilting…. Uhm, like this? Oh, I see.
He nods several times perhaps in satisfaction.
Ai Mikaze: Sorry, let's try that again! I’ll do it right this time, so… close your eyes?
The fingers on our clasped hands intertwine and squeeze tightly. 
Tumblr media
Ai Mikaze: …Nh….
His lips gently touch mine.
Ai Mikaze: Hehe, it’s warm… nh….
As if to confirm the warmth, our lips part for an instant but then meet again.
It should be embarrassing, yet it makes me so happy, filling my whole heart.
After we part, Senpai exhales.
Ai Mikaze: Hah… I see…. This… was quite nice actually….
Haruka Nanami: S-senpai!!
He chuckles and curls my hair around his finger.
Ai Mikaze: I mean, that’s how I honestly felt. Being connected with you like that…. Hey… Haruka. Let’s do it again.
Haruka Nanami: Mm… mhh….
Since we aren’t kissing anymore, I feel so embarrassed that I cannot face him.
Ai Mikaze: No? Did you already get tired of it?
I reply by shaking my head to which Senpai smiles.
Ai Mikaze: Thank you. I’m glad that I fell in love with you…. I love you. Nh…
It’s a chilly night on a spring day.
Inside the gondola as it slowly descends to the ground, we share a kiss and bask in each other’s warmth.
In the days leading up to the Song Festival, whenever we had free time we went out together.
We would go to the cinema or go shopping in the mall…
…taking a walk and watching the flowers bloom along the road….
Such a trivial, daily life was pure happiness for me.
Even the time in which we worked on our song was important to us, and we were close to finishing it. 
Tumblr media
Today, Senpai called me into the studio.
For some reason, he asked me to prepare for a recording.
Once everything is ready, I call out to Senpai who is in the booth.
Haruka Nanami: Everything is set, Senpai. Can we record?
Senpai agrees with a nod. When the music is about to start, he….
Ai Mikaze: Hello, I’m Ai Mikaze.
Senpai steps up to the microphone.
Ai Mikaze: Today, I’d like to sing a song that my precious person made for me. Please listen to it.
Music Game S
Ai Mikaze: Thank goodness. I was finally able to sing it….
Once he finished singing, he mumbles to the microphone and then raises his head to look at me with a big smile.
He comes out of the booth.
Haruka Nanami: Senpai! That was so good!
As I run up to him, he embraces me and spins me around.
Ai Mikaze: Did the recording go well? I’ll give this song to you. It’s a special version just for you.
Haruka Nanami: Thank you!
Just like that, we completed our song for the Song Festival.
Tumblr media
It’s the day of the Song Festival.
Rehearsal has finished, so we’re doing some final checks in the dressing room.
Haruka Nanami: …Hm? Come in!
Syo Kurusu: Yahoo—! We came to cheer you on!
I open the door and suddenly find Syo-kun and Shinomiya-san before me.
Haruka Nanami: Ooh, it’s you two! Thank you for coming!
Shinomiya-san takes my hand and swings it up and down.
Natsuki Shinomiya: Good morning! We watched the rehearsal! Both the song and the vocals were wonderful!
Syo Kurusu: Right! With that song, victory is certain!
Ai Mikaze: No, there’s still some room for improvement! I’ll give 100% on the real take.
I want to carefully express a sense of translucence​ and heartrending. I should be able to convey a variety of emotions.
Syo Kurusu: Ai… you….
After Mikaze-senpai found out about his time limit, he thought about it for a while and decided to tell those two right before the Song Festival.
“Since the two of them would be shocked if I were to suddenly disappear.”
That’s the thought he shared with me.
They were completely shocked, but once they calmed down they continued treating him like always.
Syo Kurusu: I get it… Ai, you’re already a real human.
Ai Mikaze: I can never become fully human. But that’s fine because I’m me. I’m Ai Mikaze.
Natsuki Shinomiya: Yes, that’s right! Ai-chan is Ai-chan and our dear senpai!!
Ai Mikaze: Geez, are you sure you got it?
“Of course~” Shinomiya-san replies with a smile.
Syo Kurusu: You seem to be in good physical condition, so that’s a relief. We’ll be cheering you on from the audience, so give it your best! ‘Kay?
Ai Mikaze: As my juniors, you don’t have to tell me that. I’ll do my best, so it’ll be fine.
Natsuki Shinomiya: Hehe, Ai-chan’s so cute when he‘s flustered. For Ai-chan’s victory, I’ll also support you. Like this~ huuug!!
Shinomiya-san hugs Mikaze-senpai tightly.
Ai Mikaze: Wait…! Natsuki! This isn’t really supporting anything!
Mikaze-senpai utters his complaint but stays in Shinomiya-san’s embrace.
I’m glad that these two came for a number of reasons.
Mikaze-senpai throws me an offended look.
Ai Mikaze: Geez, what are you grinning about? Look, the show is about to start. Syo, do something!
Mikaze-senpai points at Shinomiya-san who’s still hugging him.
Syo Kurusu: Roger! Hey, come on Natsuki, let’s go!!
Syo-kun tugs on Shinomiya-san’s arm.
Natsuki Shinomiya: Okay…. See you, Ai-chan….
Shinomiya-san reluctantly lets go of Mikaze-senpai.
Natsuki Shinomiya: I pray for Ai-chan’s feelings to reach everyone in the audience.
Ai Mikaze: Yes…. Thank you.
Syo Kurusu: Well then, see ya at the award ceremony! And you take care too!!
Natsuki Shinomiya: Bye-bye, Ai-chan. See you later.
They leave smiling with big, waving hand gestures.The door to the dressing room closes silently.
Soon afterwards, the curtains open signaling the start of the Song Festival.

MLB NEWS THIS DOESN'T STOP! THE NEW ANIMATION TEAM AND MORE ABOUT THE ENGLISH DUBBING
Very good, I come with more news, THIS DOESN'T STOP, WE HAVE GONE FROM BEING LITTLE INFORMED TO RECEIVING MORE AND MORE NEWS AHAHA OK LET'S GO IN PARTS.
NEWS 1
Ezra returns to the fray with the dubbing, and with Chloe, well we can say that she just uploaded this:
Tumblr media
He says: pov: "when everyone says your character is off the show" and Ezra appears in his video with Selah (Chloe).
Then we have a post from Selah, the voice actor, where she says: "To all the people who have sent us a message asking if Chloe is off the show… she's back in the booth, baby. Don't be RIDICULOUS, this queen isn't!" going nowhere!! What's your favorite Chloe line from season 5?"
Well, the first thing is to note that it says #SEASON6 so we can confirm a little the doubt we had in the previous post and that is that all these dubbing audios are for S6, it is not 100% sure, but we have less doubt... 2nd is that clearly, she is going to participate a lot in this S6 and she is not out of the show, I never thought this, I don't know why there are people who thought that, just because she WENT to NY does not mean that she would never go out again, that It would cost less, but not that, so this doubt is clarified.
As for whether there is any other clue for S6, I don't detect anything here, but its role will be important, because they are giving it a lot of hype, for a reason... remember that through it we are given clues about kagami and KAGAMI IS A VITAL CHARACTER FOR THE PLOT BECAUSE OF THE WHOLE ISSUE OF THE TSURUGI....SO THERE IS SOMETHING BIG OUT THERE or the theory that I mentioned in my previous POST is real (CHLOE SENTI)
NEWS 2
Tumblr media
Well we have more news about the animation of season 6, it seems that the DWARF studio will be in charge, and little by little they are progressing, with it we will have a more fluid animation and with more detail, which is ideal since we know that this season Our protagonists have another type of trait, they are older, and then take into account that JEREMY and Thomas wanted to create a BIG SUPERHERO universe LIKE DC AND MARVEL IS, AND FOR THAT IT REQUIRES GREAT ANIMATION, I mean THIS IS SERIOUS, THE SEASON 6 WOULD BE VERY IMPORTANT, IT WILL BE A REALLY SERIOUS BEGINNING AND WHERE THE REAL STORY BEGINS (that's why there are so many felinette jujuju tracks), BECAUSE IF NOT, THEY WOULD NOT HAVE CHANGED THE ANIMATION, BECAUSE YOU CLEARLY NOTE THAT IT IS MORE EXPENSIVE, NOT REACHING THE LEVEL FROM THE MOVIE, BUT APPROXIMATE, it will look a little more realistic, so we will have a quality show, THEY ARE VERY SERIOUS!!! WHAT AN EXCITION!!!!
Tumblr media
NOW as for the clue itself about the S6, I don't see anything here, I do see people zooming in on some images, but no matter how much I look I can't see who they are...so if you want a clue you'll have to see my post about Jeremy's video, he uploaded a video of what the animation would look like with this studio (the streets of Paris) and there is a lot of clue of what is to come IN S6.
Without a doubt, season 6 will be noticed with a great and fresh start. ARE YOU WANTING IT? I YES
Like, reblog and follow me if you liked the post, and follow me to see more content of this type
See you in future posts.

Live-read: Trying to understand the Aux Tresors novels without actually reading the novels in question.
This is the last, and the most borderline-experimental and cringe-flop part of the reading break #1, because in this post, I will be discussing the five novels based on the show.
Without actually reading them.
Tumblr media
Nobody has seemingly ever scanned or copied them, and I don't have the ability to buy them. If you're French, or a rich person, perhaps you could get your hands on them and tell me how wrong I am, but until then, let's speculate.
You can find the... (sighs deep as fuck) Plot Summaries on Otakia. Everything I will discuss here comes from Otakia. You can find the books somewhere else. Perhaps Amazon, probably some other site too... Because as far as I remember, Ankama's literal official shop only has one of the five.
Roman Kerubim (Dofus) Tome 1 : Le ciel sur la tête
>Read about it here
To regurgitate a bit of info from Otakia: just like the Wakfu novels, which apparently also exist, these five novels are kind of like... a bonus episode in a written form, following the structure of the show.
When grabbing quotes from Otakia I will be putting them into a translator and then screenshotting, so that you can quickly read them, and so that I don't have to copy things.
But I won't be copying the descriptions or summaries of the books, just the bits I'd like to elaborate on. You can read them yourself there.
Tumblr media
To reference that one meme: Why didn't he start thinking about his dead parents? Is he stupid?
Tumblr media
OKAY, I really didn't expect this post to go anywhere, but it's funny that even in Dofus times, Porkass people were known to eat Twelvians.
Tumblr media
You will never fucking guess with what nation Bonta of the Waven era, is involved in a seemingly mutually cannibalistic war with.
Roman Kerubim (Dofus) Tome 2 : Une étoile pour le shérif
>Read about it here
Tumblr media
I want to thank whoever runs Otakia for uploading this image specifically. Thank you Monsieur/Madame Otakia.
You may notice that, I will be upscaling all the images I bring here from the Otakia articles. The reason for this is that I am a normal and sane person, and need to look at it in a crispier way.
Tumblr media
As you may remember, Kerubim already said that he used to be a sheriff in episode 16, West of Astrub.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The writer of this article will literally be like "the book gives you candy, sucks your dick clean and dry, cleans up your home, and then it gives you a hundred dollars, so I didn't like it."
I wish Kerubim would be a fucking loser and a menace more often.
In the Judgement of The Twelve episode, Kerubim and Bashi had already mentioned meething each other many times as young adults, and having stories about it, so it's nice to see this factoid utilized for more than 2 episodes, if only in a book.
Tumblr media
Also, yet again, Kerubim literally doing his job and Bashi being fucking insane and hating him for it, despite doing far worse things.
Roman Kerubim (Dofus) Tome 3 : Panique à Astrub
>Read about it here
Tumblr media
Indie is insane for this btw.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Joris canonically eats burgers and YES reading this article a while back is the reason I put burgers into my Joris fanart.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You can see full art on my general artblog @atcham-crepin. Yeah, my blog naming scheme is very creative, I know.
I just think his refined ass eating burgers is funny, even though in canon he is only depicted doing this as a kid.
Roman Kerubim (Dofus) Tome 4 : Le décapiteur de soiffard
>Read about it here
Tumblr media
Including the cover art because it is very nice, and to draw your attention to THE best novel none of us will ever get to fucking read.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
My dream Joris & Simone story, and I can't even read it. Smh.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
List of things I love about this:
Joris stealing stuff.
Joris stealing stuff.
Joris stealing stuff.
Simone being a leader.
Tumblr media
Kerubim, as we had seen in the past episodes, literally the type to text something like "I am not long for this world.... tell my family I love them." over a tummy ache. I hate this man so much it's unreal.
Of Course he sent them on a wild goose chase over some random bullshit.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Simone and Joris @ Kerubim at the end of this book:
Tumblr media
Roman Kerubim (Dofus) Tome 5 : Tous en piste
>Read about it here
Tumblr media
I will be real, I don't think any living being can tame that fucking beast.
Tumblr media
These books are just treating us with characters in outfits we hadn't seen them in, in the show. It would be... a better world, if these books were episodes instead.
Also, want to yet again remind you that I am upscaling the shit out of these images. Because I'm normal. But at times the results can be wonky.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The World of Twelve has never seen, and will never see again, a couple more toxic than them. Sad!
Unlike the Simone & Joris book, I yet again don't have much to say, but, I'm sure I would, had the books been available to me.
This brings me to a close with the first reading break. After this post, I will resume liveblogging about the show. But I do have ideas of what the next reading break entail, and I think they're rather fun! Like "trying to read Dofus manga without reading Dofus manga" or "reviewing Dofus Aux Tresors merch without buying Dofus Aux Tresors Merch", or, perhaps, "scrying on a crystal ball to read Tot Ankama's thoughts."
...Yeah. Only the last one is a joke.

I almost forgot about this! 👀📌🖊️❓please!
Hiii~~ 💕 Thank you for the ask~ 😌
👀 Do I have any words/phrases I use habitually?
Probably, but I can't remember. 😓 I think I use 'Well,' quite a bit, along with other short phrases to add a sort of casual/musing flavor to the inner dialogue. I know there's some sort of phrase that I'll cap a sentence off with, but I really don't know which fic to skim through to confirm that. 😅 Sorry, my laziness has yet to budge. 🥴
📌 If all your fics/WIPs fell off a ship and were drowning (go with it), and you could only save one, which would it be?
I think it'd have to be Powerless. I could probably rewrite all the others to some extent. They wouldn't be perfect 1-to-1 replicas or anything, but they'd still retain the same spirit. Powerless, however, was written during pure creative possession. Plus, that mofo is like 39k overall or more? I forget. But that in of itself would be hard to replicate and the only reason why I took it down was due to uninformed advice. That I was worried about shipbaiting my readers because I didn't know when Hinata was going to show up, so I just took it down like that was going to be okay. 🤦‍♀️ As if I could repost it in a matter of weeks and nothing would be lost. Lesigh. I'm still totally fond of it. There are some changes I want to make when I work on the rest of the re-upload, but Naruto's childhood in the first chapter was my favorite thing to write and I could never replicate the same feelings, I don't think. Even if I listen to the playlist I made for it. It'd help but never be the same.
🖊 What is the most recent line you've written?
I haven't written anything new yet since my Witchcraft AU. 😅 I wish. Yoga AU is top of my list. I think it's gonna be really long, but I'm looking forward to it. I feel like I have a better understanding of oneshots now. Hmmm, y'know what? I had this pre-written in my head, so let's just go with this (and I'll most likely edit in the final draft anyways):
"He was exactly like a sunflower. Tall and lanky, his hair sticking out in every direction like radial petals. She's never seen a shade as cheerful as his. It contrasted so sharply against the consternation darkening his face. As she drew closer, she noticed two things: The erratic bouncing of his right leg. His right hand cupped over his mouth, with forefinger and middle finger parted as if something was meant to be there. A pantomime of a bad habit."
Or maybe I don't have to edit this. This turned out pretty good. 🤔
❓ Write an alternate summary for a published fic without using names. (Points if your followers can guess the fic.)
Oh, you sadist. 🤣 Making me write a whole new summary. 💀 I'll just totally go ahead and use this line that's been sitting my outline files for ages. Not much of a proper summary, but excerpts count. 😤
"Pressing himself against her backside, slouchy black pants rustling against her fitted pair, he breathed hot venom in her ear, his hands like vices clamped around her wrists. She could twist, whimper and wrench away all she wants, but she wasn't going anywhere. "Do you know how boys do it, huh? They take it in the ass.""
I feel like I made that one pretty obvious. 🤭

-------
Today was Friday.
Which also meant it was date night. 
And with it being quite gloomy outside for the usual LA weather the two of you had decided that it'd be the perfect day to have a in-house date night. You insisted that tonight you would to try and cook for your man a simple meal of grilled cheese and tomato soup.
A skeptical but supportive Austin would go on to happily watch you not only blacken all attempts at the grilled cheese, but also burn the poor tomato soup that you forgot to add enough water to.
And once the tears started rolling, in real Austin fashion he'd wrapped you in a blanket and placed you on the couch promising to return. After cleaning up your food fail he pulled out all the ingredients he needed and made a hell of a good pan of pasta. 
After some feeding, cuddling, finger fucking , and napping. The two of you had decided that a more PG-13 activity was in order. With that you suggested a game that you'd been wanting to play with Austin for a while. Let's get deep: 20 question edition.
" Okay. Here we go, number one." You listened to Austin while you giggled staring down at the stacks of cards in front of you and then back up at Austin, who looked on in amusement. " What movie was so sad that you would never watch it again? " He asked.
" Mmmm." You thought for a minute, there were plenty but really you could only narrow it down to two, " I think I would definitely have to say either Dumbo or Fruitvale Station. I can't choose. You can only watch both once." You affirmed.
" Watching Dumbo is a traumatizing experience that no child of any age should be subjected to at all. Like just the first thirty minutes was enough for me to need a lifelong therapist. And as far as Fruitvale Station goes...I feel that the content overview speaks for itself. It's a beautiful movie, but I could barely make it through til the end." You explained.
Austin nodded, " I seen Dumbo a long time ago when I was little and all I remember is this very strong urge to go hug my mom after watching. " He said making you smile, " But I haven't seen Fruitvale Station. No particular reason why, it's just never happened."
" Understandable." You nodded reaching to grab another card off one of the piles.
" My turn. Two. What's the weirdest thing you find attractive in a person?" You moved your eyes to look at him in curiosity.
Almost immediately he said, " People who floss."
Amused in question you went, " Really? Why? "
" Yeah. I don't know. But in a weird way to me. It shows that you care about yourself. Like babe, do you know how many people don't floss. Ever." He explained.
And the more you thought about it, he was right. Gross.
But lucky for you, you didn't have that problem seeing as your upbringing had made you a bit of a dental freak. So you hit all the points in that department. 
" Yeah. I guess I see your point. " You said just as a thought passed in your mind, " So, do you find it attractive when I floss." You goofed biting a bit of your upper lip.
Laughing at you he leaned over to plant a hardy peck to your lips, pulling away to say, " Makes my dick jump every time, sweetheart." He half whispered sending the two of you into a short fit of laughter.
" Alright alright alright. Next. Three. " He moved to pick up a card, " Describe our relationship in three words." He asked.
Even though you had to think a bit, it didn't take you long before you had your three words, " Meaningful.....Honest.... Adaptive. " You answered.
Eyes glimmering in happiness and satisfaction Austin questioned, " I know these are suppose to be short but, care to elaborate please."
" Well, I feel it's meaningful because literally almost everything we do has some type of meaning behind it. Like when you got me the fern. Or when I gave you the blanket. There's always some type of love behind everything. Plus you mean so much to me and in-turn I mean so much to you, which I guess in general terms makes us meaningful..right?" You giggled trying your best to explain your thoughts in the best way you could.
But Austin understood what you meant, he felt his heart swelling bigger and bigger by the moment, " I see. So what about honest?"
" I feel our relationship is also built around honesty. I know I've told you this before but throughout my life I've encountered a great deal of liars and that's something that I really didn't wanna come into my adult life with. Unavoidable I know. And especially in a relationship. " You began, " But with you, from the day that we sat down, listening to you be so open and honest with me when at the time I was just a complete stranger to you. It made me feel something. And from then on I've never ever had to second guess anything or feel like your keeping things from me. It's refreshing and I value that." You explained.
Austin listened intently thinking back to the first hours the two of you had spent together talking after he'd finished reading you the book. Hearing you talk about how surprised you were hearing Austin talk the way he did shocked him a bit. He hadn't really ever realized just how personal the two of you had gotten in that short amount of time. But to him now, that was just proof that this was something special from the start.
" And finally I think we're adaptive because whether it be your schedule or mine that keeps up from doing traditional couples stuff. We make it work. We adapt to whatever challenge we face together. And that's important." You finished offering a smile.
Austin return your feeling of content displaying a smile of his own. He was so happy to be with you. And to be building the kind of relationship where it's foundations were things like these. Things that would help the two of you last, because all in all. That was goal.
" I think all of that is really accurate and beautiful, mama. I love you." He said reaching for your hand to bring it to his lips and press a gentle kiss to it.
" I love you, Aus." You returned reaching that same hand to palm his cheek.
The two of you continued your little moment before moving forward.
" Number four. Name something that you wish you could do but can't." You asked.
Teasing Austin said, " Gain the ability to say no to you."
You rolled your eyes playfully. " Be serious, Austin."
Laughing some more he says, " I am being serious, woman. You have no idea the power you hold over me. It's like you just know all you have to do is bat those pretty lashes at me and say please, to turn me into a sucker." He informed.
Your smile widen, " Really? "
Austin nodded leaning back against the couch, " Awe don't be coy. Really, mama."
You sounded a ' Hmmph '.
" Well I'll just have to keep that in mind then, huh?" You said shooting him a glance.
Smirking he replied, " Don't go getting too many good ideas."
" I won't."
With that he leaned up to send a squeeze to your thigh before reaching and grabbing another card.
" Mm. This is a good one." Austin's lips twitched up into a smirk while he shot you a look.
" Oh god." You laughed rolling your eyes, " Dare I ask? "
" Yes, please dare." He wiggled his eyebrows and you laughed, " Go ahead then."
" Five, If there's a particular part of you I should touch to get you in the mood. Where would it be?" He questioned.
Playfully humming while placing your pointer finger to the corner of your lips, the curiosity of wanting to know where he thought it was himself popped in," Before I answer where do you think it is, Mr. Butler?"
" Well, honey." He sighed leaning back against the couch," Based on months of bountiful research and exhausting observations. I'd have to say it'd be your neck."
Dammit.
He was right. You loved when he touched your neck. It always left you breathless in more ways than one.
" You sure, " You challenged figuring to keep your cool," Because if I recall your always touching my thighs."
And it was true. If the two of you were laying down to read or watch a movie Austin either had to have his head rested in your lap or hands stuffed between the crevices of your thighs. In the car, Austin only drove with his left hand because his right was specially reserved for your thigh. Whenever your being a little bratty or you say something about yourself that Austin isn't fond of, you better believe he is going to send a good little pinch to your thigh before kissing the spot all better.
" That's because their my particular part of you that gets me in the mood." He informed looking at you while gliding a singular finger up your thigh to the hemline of the shorts you wore. Still never dropping eye contact he continued, " But I know it's your neck because whenever we make love and I run my hand across your neck or decide to take a good little grip on it. That my love, is when you come for me the hardest." He finished.
By now that same finger had turned into a full hand that had found it's way up to get a nice gentle but firm hold on your neck. He softly used it to pull you to him and place a nice sloppy kiss to your lips making a moan release from your throat.
Pulling back he let go with a smug grin on his face to your annoyed but disheveled expression before motioning for you to draw a card while you tried to collect yourself.
Once you had settled the waves below, you a bit shakily grab the next card, clearing your throat, " Okay. Six. What is one activity that makes you feel alive?"
Without a doubt Austin knew his answer, " Easy. Horseback riding. Nothing like making that bond with a horse, the trust you build with them is pure. And then being out and open with nature. Clearing your mind and body. It's refreshing." He explained. " I think that's why filming The Shannara Chronicles was one of my favorite projects so far." He furthered grabbing a sip of the Yerbamate on the table.
" Yep and I'll have to take your word for it, babe." You quickly chirped making Austin sigh. 
Ever since you and Austin had stumbled on the topic of horseback riding one day and you had revealed to him that while you thought horses were absolutely majestic and beautiful from a distance, under no circumstances would you ever consider getting on one. Period. And to him this was a great injustice...almost as big as when you told him you didn't like PB & J's.
You shuddered at the thought.
" Baby for the thousandth time. I'm telling you it's not as scary as you think it is. And you won't know until you try it. That thing with the girl was just a freak accident. That's a exception." Austin tried to argue but still you just shook your head unphased. You knew what you'd witnessed all those years back and you were good.
" Austin." You started, " The poor girl broke her back and part of her collarbone after one of them threw her off and fell on her. I seen it happen. It's like he WWE smushed her ass on the ground." You recalled watching a friend of a friend in high-school's scary interaction with the creature. It was terrifying. " Plus I'm pretty sure that she wasn't exactly ever the same in the membrane after that either." You added thinking about some of the antics the girl had gotten into post injury.
Austin blew out a breath, " Honey, while I think the situation is terrible. I'm pretty sure there was other factors that went into the happening. But I'm telling you that it's not normally like that. You just have to trust yourself and the horse."
Hearing him you still you were unchanged and really wanting to chance the topic so you came up with the compromise, " Okay okay okay. I hear you, Aus. And I'll think about it some more okay." You suggested shooting him a look to send the message that you were ready to move on.
Taking the hint he settled for what you were giving with a somber smile and moved to pick up another card, " So the next one is a little heavier, if that's alright?" Austin questioned staring down at the card.
Feeling like you could fully trust him you nodded, " Go head, babe." You prompted preparing yourself.
" Seven, in your opinion which is worse. Emotional or physical cheating? " He asked looking directly into your eye line.
" Oh." You spoke. It wasn't like you couldn't answer or that this wasn't something the two of you hadn't discussed. It was just a bit of a uncomfortable topic was all.
" Well being honest..." You trailed looking over to his face that was locked in on yours.
" Yeah." Austin encouraged.
Taking a second to collect your thoughts you began, " Like I said before, cheating no matter what is a deal breaker for me. But, being honest I think their equally as bad in opinion. I know anyone can argue it anyway. But the way I see it is that it takes something emotional in the first place to drive someone to cheat physically. I feel like if we're in a exclusive relationship where we're trusting and committing our bodies to only each other and you go and share that part of you with someone else it's a betrayal. And same thing with emotional. If we're in a relationship and I'm giving my all to let you know that there isn't anything that you should feel like you can't come to me about, and you still go and share those parts with someone else. That's also pretty bad so..." You finished looking him directly in eye. 
Austin nodded taking in what you were saying completely. This wasn't his first time hearing you express your expectations when it came to this type of dishonesty, but it was good to hear again all the same, " I hundred precent agree with everything you've said. And vice versa over here. I think our communication is good enough to where we can communicate our needs effectively to each other. But I still want you to know that we're never going to get to that point, honey. That's one of the reasons that ring is on your finger. It's a promise." Austin sincerely confessed making your heart expand.
You peaked down at the promise ring on your finger and then back at Austin.
" I know." 
" Good."
" Alrighty moving on. Eight. Is applesauce suppose to be warm or cold? " You posed.
" Cold." Austin immediately responded, " That's the only right answer."
You nodded, " I whole-heartedly agree. And I'm glad to know that you aren't a nutjob. "
" Noted. Next." Austin laughed picked up a card, " Nine. What is something that you wanna like but just can't? "
You sighed in faked despair, " Saunas. I really wanted to be that girl. The insta-fit chick that has the whole sauna self care bit going. But I realized how much I really don't like being sweaty unless absolutely necessary. " You informed to a smirking Austin. 
Before he could open his mouth you reiterated, " I SAID ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY." 
His hands shot up in defense while he snickered, " All I was going to ask was if you wanted to get sweaty later. But seeing as that wouldn't be absolutely necessary. I guess not." He shrugged.
Smacking your teeth you grabbed a pillow to childishly toss at Austin while you tell him that getting sweaty with him will always be absolutely necessary in your book.  " I'll hold you to that." He says shooting you the infamous look.
" Look forward to it. But first we have to finish this before we start something else, " You remind him picking up a new card, " Ten. Name the most fond memory you have with your moth-" You stopped mid- question instantly regretting asking, you hadn't meant to bring it up.  Idiot.
Quickly you tried to shift and grab another card while shooting him a sympathetic look, " I'm sorry, babe. I- I should have read the card in my head before I read it out lo-"
But he halted your movement softly grabbing your hand, " It's okay It's alright, B-"
" No, Austin it's not I sho-"
" You should just go ahead and let me answer. I promise it's okay. Matter of fact..I want to." He said holding your eye contact to show you he was sincere until you agreed leaning back. 
" I know I've said this in interviews before, but growing up not to faraway from Disney and Knotts Berry, my mom and I would go all the time. Finish all my homework earlier in the day and then drive over. We used to spend hours riding the rides or just sitting on the park benches and talking. Because I was so shy and homeschooled on top of it she was bestfriend. I could sit and talk to her about anything....God I miss her." Austin reminisced bringing a smile to his face. You could see the tears forming in his eyes and in return yours did the same. 
Instinctively you reached out to him which he accepted offering you a spot on his lap.
 You held onto him in silence drinking in his warmth and touch while enjoying the quiet comfort you were offering through the silent intimacy. The two of you stayed just like that for awhile. Your head against his chest listening to the melody of his heartbeat and feeling the weight of his head rested on yours. His hands ran up and down your spine gripping and rubbing. 
You felt oddly harmonious with each other. 
The two of you stayed like that before you let go when the brilliant idea of desert popped in your mind. Remembering that Beatrice had dropped off a royal raspberry drizzle cheesecake. You went to the kitchen coming back with two plates carrying carefully sliced pieces. You were sure this would lighten the mood.
Austin smiled taking his plate and offering you a " Thank you, baby." And a kiss to the temple. 
From there you resumed your game.
" Eleven. What is the most precious or important thing you own? " Austin asked before taking the bite of cheesecake you were offering.
" Um. " You sounded setting the desert plate on the coffee table, " Well, babe. I'm gonna have to cheat a little bit." You confessed.
" Oh. How's that." Austin inquired.
" I'm gonna have to list some things." You confirmed.
Smiling Austin says, " I'll allow it."
" Good. Okay so the most precious and important things I own in no particular order is my promise ring, the blanket my mom made me, our fern, my mother's ring, and my lucky smiley hat." You listed.
" You know I love when you wear that hat." He laughed, " You always look so cute. Remember when you wore it when we went to go see the jazz band in the park. Everyone tried to steal it off of you." 
" Yeah it was quite interesting. Having to fight off people with John Coltrane playing in the back."
"  But anywho. Twelve, If we were role playing. What would you dress me up as? " You bite your lip waiting on his response.  You were extremely curious to hear his answer.
You had to adjust yourself a little bit as you felt the gates to your 'oasis' starting to open up even more than earlier from the way he was looking at you.
" Honestly? " Austin's eyebrow raised.
" Of course. Wouldn't want it any other way." You responded.
" Well, even though it may sound cliché. In my younger years," He laughed, " The whole French maid thing intrigued me for a bit."
Your mouth twitched in a smile, " Know what. I'm not surprised. That checks out." 
" What?! What's that suppose to mean? " 
You laughed at his playfully offended expression while he clutched his chest, " It means that you seem like a french maid kind of man, babe. Classy. You already have this old school charm to you. So it's on-brand that you'd be into that." You elaborated.
He looked at you a second before saying a simple, " Thats fair. "
Tilting his head at you he continued, " So, if a little french maid outfit just happened to appear in your size around here somewhere. And I called to say my office may need some dusting...would you be willing to oblige." He suggested leaning over and biting at his lip.
You leaned in and said, " Oui."
He groaned and blushed a bit in response moving to grab another card only to laugh when he read it, "Right on topic. Thirteen. How many children do you want someday? "
" Um...uh..well it really depends. When I was younger I always wanted to be like cheaper by the dozen or the mine, yours, and ours family. " You giggled thinking about how you wanted a brood of children to homeschool, make three meals a day for, and be driven absolutely crazy by. But as you got older and life took it's fuzzy fun filter off and you began seeing the true colors of the world, that life started to seem less and less ideal. 
You caught Austin's face which was mixed with curiosity and glee. Even though you guys had had some conversations here and there that involved kids he'd never heard this from you before. He was intrigued, "Seriously you wanted twelve kids. You with twelve kids?" He repeated for emphasis.
You laughed, " Yeah. Believe it or not. I like kids and I love my nieces and nephews even though I don't get to see them as much as I'd like. So, in a perfect fantasy world. But being realistic though. I think I would like two or four. I wanna have enough but not too many to where I won't have the energy or the time to give them all as much equal time and attention." You explained.
" I get that. And I like that it's even numbers. So no one will ever be left out of games and they'll be able to pair up when we go out to fairs or do activities." He added with a gleam in his eye.
Austin couldn't lie and say that hadn't thought of what life would be like settling down with you and hearing little footsteps roam the halls. Some could say it was too soon to be thinking about things like that, but he couldn't help. You made him want a future with you.
And vice versa. 
" Exactly. Don't want anyone getting lonely." You agreed trying to play off the blush that had captured your face. You pulled a card, " Fourteen. What's your favorite thing about me?" You asked.
" There's so many different things, honey." Austin sighed trying to rack his brain to be able to just pick one thing, and then he said it, " Your unflinching ability to be kind to everyone."
Your twisted up your face, " Really, you think so? " 
It wasn't like you were saying that you thought you were mean. I mean sure you did your best to try and be nice and kind to everyone you came across, but you weren't the type to just stick that label to yourself. 
" YES REALLY. " Austin emphasized, " You'd literally give anyone the clothes off your back and shoes off your feet. You never cease to amaze me with the grace you have with people even when they don't deserve it. Especially in that situation with the Paps the other week. I know it took a lot not to respond to the name calling and picking but you just kept going and even told the man to have ' a blessed day'." Austin recalled the icky interaction you'd had with paparazzi while out with some friends. 
Shaking your head you waved him off, " I just do what I was raised to do. It's a natural thing. Can't sweat that." You said.
And that's exactly what I want you to teach our children. Austin thought. 
" Yeah, babe. I know. But it still adds to your amazingness. " He concluded picking a card, " Alright. Fifteen. Where is somewhere you've always wanted to go, but never been? " 
Your answer was almost instant, " Italy." 
Austin blinked fast smiling, " That was fast." 
You shyly grinned, " Yeah I know. I didn't mean to say it that fast but that's my number one. I've just always been fascinated by the food and culture. And I really feel like I wanna go and immerse myself in it. Ya' know experience it for myself." You told him of your dream.
It was true too. You could see yourself having authentic pasta and taking walks along the rivers. Finally trying pure gelato. Visiting different museums and taking rides on the gondola. It might sound like cliché tourist behavior but you wanted it all. 
Austin was taking note of how you lit up while talking about the idea of visiting and decided to slip that note into his pocket for later. 
Once you'd finished your mini ranting you picked a card, " Sixteen. Name something that you're weirdly good at? "
Austin noodled on the question. Then you watched him grab one of the unused napkins as he started to twist and pinch it in his hands. 
Curious you asked, " What're you doing, my sweet baboo? "
Feeling fuzzy at the name he responded, " You'll see. Just wait a second, honey." 
So waited and watched him. You found it cute how concentrated he looked. 
 And before you knew it. He was handing you a beautifully crafted rose napkin.
" Awe Austin." You gushed. " It's so cute. How'd you learn to do that? " 
" Ah'. It's just something I randomly picked up once. But I think I've gotten pretty good at it over the years." He said. 
" I hope you know I'm going to force you to do this with all our napkins now, right." You teased. 
" That's fine. Anything for you, mama." He moved closer to you now wrapping a arm around you. 
You didn't know why but him saying that, had made something jump in you. Something hot.
And the closer he got, the more you looked at his face. And the more you looked at his face, the more you wanted to sit on it. 
Not being able to help yourself you managed to move in and capture your his lips with yours. They were always so soft. 
After a minute almost reluctantly he pulled back catching apart of his breath, " Woah, Mama. Wait a minute. As much as I'd love to keep going. Don't you still wanna finish the game first? " He asked cupping your face with a hand.
"Nope." You popped the P, " Not really." You spoke before pulling him back in. He groaned in your mouth at the added friction you brought by started to grind slowly into his lap.
Still once more he found the strength to move away, " You sure?" 
You nodded, but just then a funny little tease came to mind, " Know what. Actually, I do have one last question honey." You said running your against his cheek.
" Go for it, darling."
" Final question. What's your favorite sex position." You questioned positioning yourself up some more. You could see the fire dancing in his eyes and from the way he licked his lips you were sure there were fiery thoughts that accompanied them. 
He sighed biting his bottom lip, " Well. If you must know. As old fashion as it may sound. I'd have to say missionary." Taking a squeeze of your ass.
" Why? " You coyly asked.
" Because I like to be able to look you directly in the eye when I make you come over and over again. The faces you make, always looks like art. Care to be my muse? " He asked taking his hand away from your face to move it along down to your throat.
And with that all you could do was nod before you found yourself on your back, on the couch looking a pretty man in the eye while he gave you pretty amazing orgasms.

everytime i read a quote about the doctor and river it makes me rub my temples in frustration while also making me so so so deeply grateful that the doctor and rose's story ended how it did.
putting this under the cut, so if you do ship the doctor and river you don't have to read this.
the thing is: the doctor and river's relationship was a cool idea that moffat completely half assed, but at the same time he made it so that river is meant to be seen as more important than all of his other relationships up until his final life (without showing us the journey there) and i find that so insulting to the nature of the show. they are both locked into this "marriage" with such little choice in the matter, if any. it makes me sad for BOTH of them.
so according to moffat in the "end" river is uploaded to the library and the doctor is allegedly there too, his mind uploaded to the moon or whatever. but wtf kind of ending is that for the doctor? that's so odd to me. i don't ever WANT to know how things end for the doctor because the story should never have definite end, but moffat wanted to have the very last word in 2008 ig.
it confuses me further that he decided to write a pretty overt romantic storyline with eleven and clara in s7 which then continues onto twelve and clara. not because the doctor can't be in love multiple times or because i think it would bother river but because it makes it the relationship that is actually developed for THREE seasons.
i understand rtd being accepting of river during s4, since he was going to step down as showrunner seemingly forever. and i genuinely think that this is why rose and her doctor were sealed off the way they were even if he's never actually said it.
it's such a large part of why, to me, tentoorose is such a gift. it's so beautiful. because the "original" doctor has this future that is set in stone that tentoo never has to be part of. he is not only free from being essentially immortal, but he is free from being manipulated into a marriage with river and from being potentially uploaded into the library. and rose has the gift of having the last version of the doctor who does not know river aside from one episode. this doctor loves rose and rose alone. he will never be married to river, he will never have whatever romance went on with clara and yaz either. and i do believe that the doctor is allowed to fall in love multiple times in their many lives, which is where both doctor/river and "rose and all the doctors" does not work for me at all but then again, it doesn't matter because rose got her happy ending with the freest and happiest version of the doctor there ever will be and i'm so grateful for that when i remember how bonkers the plot became after season four.
some people say they dislike je because tentoo isn't rose's doctor when it's the complete OPPOSITE by now, and i cannot imagine rtd ever having a reason to undo that so when people suggest he would break them up for rose to be back with the "real" doctor i'm just like, you understood NOTHING. he wanted them to be safe and happy and HUMAN tucked into their own world that no one else but him would or could ever touch. because of journey's end the doctor and rose truly end up together in the most even, healthy and honest way possible. i just still feel so lucky 😭💗

Very impressed both with the number of WIPs you have and the mysterious way you title them. How do you remember what is what haha.
If no one asked already, what happens in "It could be worse"? Or and just to know, "Hyckey licious" :p
Hey, hi! Thank you, I've collected them for quite a while, some are YEARS old! And well, regarding remembering them ... good question! Sometimes I can't remember them at all XD Like, I've written so much and some titles I remember and some I totally don't. Which means I maybe need to find a new system to keep wips and finished work separated lol
Well, so those two! "It could be worse" is a multichapter fic for 3wbf and I have the first two chapters uploaded already. I had it all planned out so well and then I got stuck and probably have to change my plans to continue (after over a year *cough*). It's an AU in which Shin is actually following his father's path more and works for the company instead of pursuing an artist career. Secretly he is working and conspiring against his dad tho. During a charity event he gets kidnapped by Miw and Neo who actually don't work together but for different groups but had the same plan at the same time. On the way, the three of them learn more about each other, bond and plans get ruined for different reasons. Oh, and of course they will fall in love :D So, some adventure-kidnapping-shenanigans with slightly ooc-characters, which I usually love to write for them. Just need to get back to it again!
The excerpt is from the new chapter that's not been uploaded and still might change:
What he did know though, was, that this might be his chance to get Neo on his side, before it was too late. And he’d have to do it fast, otherwise Miw would do the same. And Shin still had no idea what her goal was. What her reasons were and her resources. But the fact, that she also seemed to be shocked by Neo’s announcement, had to mean something, didn’t it? Or the fact, that she’d been checking her phone a few times already since they’d taken off, even though she’d tried to be subtle. Maybe he should ask now or lead to the topic carefully or quietly or ... the boat rocked, thrown by an especially powerful wave and suddenly there were two hands gripping his thighs, reflexively, bringing Shin’s brain to a full stop. He looked down. Just in time to see Miw’s hand being pulled back as if she’d burned herself. As if this was more than she’d wanted to admit. But Neo? Neo’s hand stayed and his grip tightened. And Shin? Shin realised why his father had never trusted him enough to make big decisions. Not when he said shit like ... “I betrayed my father.”
And "Hickey-licious" is an Utsukushii Kare ff I thought of after watching the movie! It will be mostly smut with Hira finding all the spots to leave hickeys on on Kiyoi :P There's a lot of notes but nothing written yet, although I have it all planned out in my mind. Nothing too long, just Hira taking and marking and Kiyoi giving and enjoying it all!
Tumblr media
Thank you again for asking! <3
More wip titles you can ask about
