normal thing to say about your dear friend who you think is really cute and charming and hard-working and basically the perfect wife material
#hamefura#my next life as a villainess#otome game no hametsu flag#aaand rewatch done! now my honest thoughts#good start. the middle is kinda boring. ep 8 doesn't exist don't worry about it#this anime draws me in in the same way that Futari Wa does#in that it has a fascinating main cast and a very vague skeleton of a worldbuilding that leaves me wanting to overthink it#unstructured thoughts incoming:#Geordo's still a creep and no matter how much the story wants me to like him I just can't#Keith's siscon is very Yikes! and that's so bad because I love his and Katarina's relationship as siblings#Katarina lowkey thinks Sophia is a freak but never kinkshames her and that's so bestiecore of her. they're soulmates your honor#Mary is SUCH A LESBIAN holy shit. I did not remember how much lesbian she is#I'm lowkey annoyed that the show frames her attraction to Katarina as “haha funny isn't she weird?!”#like in the sleepover episode she was describing the things she'd like to do with her beloved and she's being like. normal about it#but the soundtrack does a silly and I'm like. wow this anime does not like her huh#I swear Geordo and Keith are even weirder about Katarina than she is but the anime always gives them slack about it#unless they're having their homoerotic squabbles. which is to say the anime does Not Like The Queer Coding of the story#I'm sure there are worse examples of weeb homophobia but there are a couple moments I saw in the manga but not here!#anyway where was I. Oh right. Ascart Sibs Autusm 👍🏼#Nicol doesn't have much presence in the story due to his quiet nature which is so sad because his inner world is intriguing#he's such a good friend. loyal and caring. I wish we got more of him in this season#and finally: Maria. God. what is there to say about her that I haven't already#the girl came in with a 7 year disadvantage on her rivals and yet Katarina is all over her!#rewatching season 1 is so weird because I could swear she had more presence than she really does because holy shit#Katarina loves her! so much! wtf#maybe I'm remembering season 2?#anyway these are my thoughts on doomflags season 1#2nd watch edition#oh I almost forgot#romance in chiaroscuro

My firecracker
Alastor x fem reader
Word count: 634
Summary: Charlie learns about Alastor wife.
Warnings: mention of death and murder (please tell me if I miss any)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~🌹🥀🌹~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alastor stood on a balcony overlooking the city. The hotel was celebrating for some reason or another he didn't particularly care. Reaching into his coat pocket he pulled out a locket. Unclasping it reveals an image of a woman.
“I thought doing this would make me feel better in some way, or at least dull the pain for the time being” Alastor began, looking down at the locket. “It was foolish of me to think that would happen. It's happening all over again, and I don't think I have a chance to see you again.”
Tears started swelling in his eyes. Quickly pulling out a handkerchief and wiping them away.
“You know I always took you as someone who likes entertainment and parties are pretty entertaining” Charlie said coming out on the balcony.
“Oh I'm just getting some fresh air, it's far too stuffy in there” Alastor replied, shoving the locket back in his coat. Not before Charlie notices.
“What's that?” Charlie said, reaching out.
Instinctively Alastor slapped Charlie's hand away, holding the locket even closer now. Towering over her with a cruel look on his face, he saw the fear in her eyes. Normally he'd relish in it but this was no sight he wanted to see on charlie. Signing he pulled out the locket again shifting it through his fingers.
“My apologies dear,” he said, turning back to the city. “I didn't mean to snap, it's a locket with my wife's photo in it, it's the only thing I have left of her.”
“You never told me you were married,” Charlie said, coming to Alastor's side.
“I don't much like to talk about it” Alastor signed.
“Can I ask, what was she like?” Charlie questioned.
“Oh she was wonderful” He began. “She was a firecracker, always 3 steps ahead of everyone. Beat you in any game and once you thought you had the upper hand she'd pull the rug right out from your feet. She was kind and considerate, and believed in second chances. She'd taught me that. And oh she could sing like an angel. I would play the piano, she would sing and the world would fade away.”
“She sounds amazing, you know maybe if you redeem yourself you can see her again in heaven!”
“Haha oh darling, anybody worth knowing comes down here!” Alastor said between laughs. “She would always tell me she would rather burn in hell with me than sit alone in heaven. Did you know that our fathers decided to put us together to ‘contain our unnatural behavior’? And she came up with a plan to kill both our families and then burn the evidence! Oh it was then I knew she was the one.”
Memories started flooding back when they were both alive and then both died. But this time they didn't hurt so much now.
“What happened to her?” Charlie asked, bring Alastor back to reality.
“The first or the second time?” Alastor joked trying not to spiral.
“Both?” She whispered hesitantly.
“The first time she was in a tree, mistaken for a bird and shot down the fall was what killed her. The second time…” Alastor choked clutching the locket for dear life. Clearing his voice he started again. “Well you don't make it as far as I have without making a few enemies. They sent her back in pieces.”
“That's awful!” Charlie exclaimed.
“No need to worry they won't hurt anyone now.” Signing, he stepped away from the edge. “Come on dear, let's join the party.”
“Hey Al, can I ask one more thing?”
“And what would that be?”
“Do you think she would have liked the hotel?”
Turning fully around to face Charlie. A kind smile across his face with a hand reaching out for her.“Oh she would love it.”

Can't you see the Starlight? || Finnick Odair X Reader
Tumblr media
"Look at you worrying to much about things you can't change, you'll spend your whole life singing the blues if you keep thinking that way"
Getting dragged to a capital party to satisfy your mothers wishes could not have gone any better when you get asked to dance with the capital darling, Finnick Odair.
Warnings: Fluffy, mentions of death, kissing, dancing, fem! reader, alcohol mentioned, Finnick getting humbled A LOT
Word Count: 4.7K
A/N: I knowwwww I know yall have been asking for more Coriolanus Snow content but I needed some Finnick fluff in my life I love him so much. Might write more parts to this if yall like it :D
The music was so loud I swear I would be able to hear it ringing in my ears for the next days to come. Everyone was dressed to the nines and other girls scurried past me in large, sparkling, extravagant gowns shaped like cupcakes. Awkwardly, I stood there watching the people dance and talk.
This was my first time going to a capital party. My mother decided I spent enough time locked in my room and decided to drag me along to the party.
She had barged in that morning and said, "Y/N it is not normal for a girl your age to have no other friends other than her dog. You're in university. You should be in the club but instead your here. I'm sorry Sweetheart but that is just sad." I understood where she was coming from. It's not even that I don't like being outside, I love it actually. I love going on walks and watching the birds in the trees or even reading in the park and watching the leaves fall. All of that stuff is so much fun. The thing I don't like is the constant judgment from the other people in the capital. My family used to be incredibly wealthy, so much so my father had a hand in a big part of the economy of all of Panem. He was also deeply tied to political affairs in Panem, often having meetings with President Snow. My mother said they went to school together. But when my father died suddenly and mysteriously, our business had plummeted. My mother, bless her soul, tried to step up and handle things but our financial status had gone down significantly.
In all truth, we weren't doing well at all and the pretentious shallowness of the other capital citizens only viewed you as the numbers in your bank account. My mom could barely pay the tuition for the University I'm attending. I felt like an imposter at this party. I know these people think less of me and it's so uncomfortable. It's not even the stares, it's more the lack thereof. I wasn't perceived at all because the other people at this party didn't think I was worth their time. I played with the fabric of my silk red dress awkwardly while I watched my mom chatter with another woman her age at a table across from where I was. Sighing heavily, I closed my eyes and pretended to be anywhere else.
Suddenly, I was pulled out of my daze by a hand on my left shoulder and someone's breath on my right. I jumped and turned around, my gaze being met with the most marvelous pair of sea-green eyes. The man took a step back.
"I'm sorry, did I frighten you?" he chuckled.
I didn't respond, just gave him a confused, almost disgusted glace. He scoffed a little and let a smirk run across his face while extending his hand out.
"I'm delighted to make your acquaintance Ms..." He looked at me with curious eyes, wanting me to finish his sentence. Cautiously, I reached my hand out to meet his, never breaking eye contact.
"Y/N, Y/N L/N."
He shook my hand shortly and firmly. His smirk turned into a charming smile, exposing his charmingly crooked white teeth and dimples. I squinted my eyes at him, examining his face. I felt like I knew him from somewhere, he looked so familiar. His smile started to fade, I think he was a little offended by my glares.
"I'm sorry but do I know you from somewhere?"
A loud laugh left his mouth.
"I'd be more surprised if you didn't haha, do the Hunger Games ring a bell?"
"Gasp... Peeta Mellark?!"
Excitement started to rush through my veins. My eyes lit up and I started to get all giddy. I loved Katniss and Peeta's games. They just finished last week actually. It was really the only one I tuned into and actually paid attention to, I was too invested, enthralled even with their romance. God, I was such a sucker for romance. Peeta looks so different in real life. A lot taller actually. Blond as ever though.
"I- no... Finnick. Finnick Odair." He looked at me a little offended and confused. Now this was awkward. I calmed myself down and shook my head.
"Hmm, I can't say they do Mr. Odair." I glanced around and noticed the number of eyes that were on us, "Though from the amount of girls around here who look like they want to tear you apart, I'm going to assume you're famous or something."
"Ha, well I guess you can put it that way, what a way to humble someone Ms. Y/N... Anyways, I came to ask you a simple question, may I have this dance?" He bent at the waist slightly like a prince, his hand reached out for mine waiting for me to accept it, his stunningly green eyes never leaving mine. What a charmer. I laughed a little and looked around again. There was still a few eyes on us but just as many people were enjoying themselves. Something about the joy buzzing off of the other people just gave me this sudden urge to do something I was always taught not to do; let a stranger who just seemed to have the sharpest jawline, dimples, boosted ego, and the absolute deepest sea green eyes take me by the hand and lead me somewhere with even more strangers in a strange place. I'd say the stranger-danger aspect of it all was worrying but the pros of, "ooooo hot man" seemed to outweigh that.
"Well Mr. Odair, it's between that or sitting here for more painstakingly long minutes so I guess I'll dance with you," flirtatious sarcasm was dripping from my voice but I shot him back a smirk like the one he was giving me. I placed my hand into his and took mental note of how big and rough his hands were compared to mine. In one swift movement, he stood up straight again and interlocked his arm with mine.
"I'll make it worth your while," He joked and I rolled my eyes in response. For being an outdoor event, the area felt so claustrophobic with the amount of people around. The heat radiating off of everyone was unbearable, the aroma was sticky. Finnick held my arm close to him, afraid to lose me in the crowd. I could feel my face getting hot and I couldn't tell if I was flustered from the sudden male attention or if the heat was getting to me. Soon enough, we reached a small clearing, just big enough for the two of us and I felt Finnick let go of my arm and spin me around so now I was facing him. The way he was looking at me made me feel all warm and gooshy, ugh I hated it. With half-lidded eyes and that smirk that was starting to become oh so familiar, he placed one of his hands on the small of my back, pulling me close to him, and the other interlocking with my hand, extending them outwards.
I tried to pull every amount of falsified confidence out of the depths of my soul when I placed my other hand to meet his shoulder. In theory, this should've gone smoothly but I was so nervous my hand was shaking on the way up, none of my fake confidence could cover that one up. He started laughing and I cringed so hard. I looked down at the ground and my legs wobbled a little when I felt my posture start to slip in these heels. I wanted nothing more than to melt into a puddle of nothingness.
"Oh Ms. Y/N... you sure have a lot of bark for a girl who can't even stand up straight. My presence must be too intoxicating for you to handle."
"Ha. Ha. Ha. And you sure have a lot of confidence for a 'Famous' man I didn't even recognize."
"Ouch, dear let's hold off on that one, now please..." his hand lifted off the small of my back and I felt his fingers under my chin, lifting it to look at him.
"Look at me when I talk to you, it's rude not to"
His hand returned to my back and I stared at him flabbergasted. This man had such a hold on me, literally and figuratively, and I had just met him. This was crazy.
"Oh you're dangerous Mr. Odair," I whispered a little too loud for my liking. He heard it and started to laugh again. God that laugh was like the best sound I've ever heard.
"Trust me darling, I'm a daydream. Now, are we gonna start dancing or are you just going to sit here and stare at me while I get lost in your eyes."
Oh, this absolute weenie. Now I knew I was blushing. His facial expression was the embodiment of pride. It was like he was so accomplished in getting me so flustered. Suddenly, the reality of what was happening sank upon me and so did the remembrance that I didn't know how to dance. Smiling awkwardly at him I started to try and uncomfortably sway our bodies in an off-rhythm pace. His mouth formed an 'O' shape of realization like he just read my mind.
"Just follow my lead,"
He started to move his feet and I followed along one step behind him. I was fumbling over my self a lot but he whispered little encouragements into my ear over the party music. Soon enough, I was working in perfect rhythm alongside him and things started to get a little more fun.
"Look at you, good girl. You caught on so fast,"
Oh god, how can someone be so charming? His presence was almost intoxicating. I turned my head again to avoid eye contact. If I stared into those green eyes for a moment longer I would surely fall into the depths of them and never be able to get out.
"Don't get shy now, darling. Come on," he teased before pulling me closer. My chest was pressed up against him and my eyes widened. Looking up at him slowly, I simply hit him with a shining smile. "Who me? Shy? Never, I'm clearly the most outgoing and social girl out there, that's exactly why I was standing at that table by myself for so long," I joked sarcastically and he rolled his eyes. The song changed and blasted through the speaker and played yet another slow dance song. I groaned and his ears perked up. He swooped in to take that as an oppertunity to ask,
"Are you bored yet?"
"Do you want the honest answer or the delusional one?"
"I'd rather us start our relationship with honesty so I'll go with the first option."
I swear, did this man ever stop smiling?
"Relationship? You're talking crazy Mr. Odair... but to be honest, I'm a little bored... Just a little."
He chuckled a little and continued to lead our bodies elegantly across the dance floor.
"How about we get out of here after this song? There's a lake a short walk down from here, we can go watch the stars."
"Oh Mr. Odair, you better not be trying to murder me... it's okay you don't have to drop everything for me. Clearly, you're enjoying the party."
"Don't worry... You can trust me and it's less that I'm enjoying the party and more that I'm enjoying you"
"You tease~"
"And without giving away too many details... You'd be doing me a favor getting me out of here," he spoke with a changed demeanor, a slightly grim and sad one at that. I brushed it off and nodded.
"So it's a deal?"
"Deal."
He smiled and then pulled away from me, lifting my hand. I understood the assignment and did a little spin, feeling my dress float a little around me. I giggled and spun back into his arms. While my dancing was still quite stiff, I felt so happy. He pulled me close and we helplessly gazed into each others eyes. The song ended and the music dwindled and he pulled away, smiling uncontrollably.
"Stop looking at me like that~ you're giving me the creeps," I teased and giggled, playfully hitting his slightly exposed chest from the V-neck of his white flowy top. He threw his head back laughing before extending his hand out to me again for the second time that night.
"Creeps? I'm sure you mean "Oh Finnick, stop killing me with that beautifully charming, elegant, and stunning smile"'
I huffed and rolled my eyes.
"Are we heading out now?"
"After you."
Words just seemed to roll right off his tongue like honey dripping off a warm spoon, shockingly sweet and smooth. His eyes never left mine. Ever. His hand reached for mine once more and we interlocked fingers while I started to try and find a path off the dance floor. Once we were free from the sweaty dance floor, I turned to Finnick with wide eyes ready for him to lead us down this 'short walk to the lake'. He gladly accepted this task and we walked out the gates of the capital party, not caring if anyone saw us.
As soon as we stepped out of the area I paused for a moment to take a deep breath in. "Oh man I swear it is so hard to breathe in there"
"Oh absolutely. Especially over the heavy perfumes that smell so strong yet can't cover the smell of B.O." Finnick laughed.
"Eww when you put it like that it makes it seem so much worse"
"Oh, but it is that bad let's just be honest here. Like I said earlier, I want this relationship to be started on a foundation of honesty, though, I do love a good secret."
I scrunched my face at his comment and laughed, interlocking my fingers with his again as we looked up ahead of the night in front of us.
"The lake is right down that way," he pointed off to the distance to where we were met with a little stone and dirt path leading. Logically thinking, now was really the time I should be using stranger danger logic. Good thing I wasn't thinking. I grabbed onto Finnick's arm and he started to walk me down the moonlit path. The misty coolness of the nighttime felt so nice on my skin while I cooled off from the party but the warmth of Finnick's arm against my body felt even better. The sound of the music from the party started to get fainter and fainter in the distance.
"So Mr. Odair,"
"Please, just call me Finnick, we aren't around all those fancy people anymore. We can drop the formalities."
"Hmm okay Finnick," I liked the way his name rolled off my tongue and from the way Finnick was grinning and the path in front of us, I think he liked it too. "Where are you from?"
"Wow... you really don't know anything about me huh?" He asked, genuinely so shocked.
"Oh I'm sorry famous-capital-man. How dare I not know how lucky I am to bask in your glory," I rolled my eyes at him.
"Ah that's- that's not what I mean... It's refreshing in a way. It's like with you my reputation doesn't precede me." His tone was open. Honest. He spoke slowly in his last words as if he was searching deep within that beautiful brain of his to pick the right words to say. I didn't respond. On one hand, I was very flattered to see him be so honest. On the other, that sentence was setting off a few more red flags in my mind. What could his reputation be that he finds it enlightening that I don't know who he is? Either way, I brushed off that idea. Finnick seemed like an honest man.
Now that we were alone with just the two of us it felt like his whole demeanor had changed. Inside the gates of the capital party, it felt like he was masking himself a little. It was like he was playing a character, a charming playboy who only had one goal but here, he was still charming but in a different way. His presence reminded me of sitting on the warm sand of a beach watching as the ocean waves crashed into the shore. It draws you in, gives you warmth, and is stunning to look at. I hadn't realized that I had been standing there in silence, lost in my own thoughts, for longer than was comfortable until he continued.
"I'm actually from District 4," He said with a soft smile, a little different from the smirk that usually rested on his face but a lot cuter.
"Really? District 4... So do you like fishing?" Dumb question. I felt the instant cringe rattle my bones after I let those words out. He didn't make a big deal out of it at all though. He laughed a little, "Yeah actually, I don't get around to doing it anymore but I was very good at fishing when I was younger. I'm quite talented with a net."
I feel like there's a joke I'm missing here. I didn't have much more time to psychoanalyze the man because soon enough, we made it to the lake. The moonlight reflected down upon the lake allowing for the beautiful ripples of the water to be seen. The moonlight also shined down on us, being the only source of light in the darkness of this twilight hour. I took a moment to bask in its tranquil beauty as I watched the fireflies dance through the tall grass like little stars that had just dropped down to earth.
"Here it is..." the words left his lips softly and I could feel his eyes staring at my face, trying to read my expression but I was too busy being astonished by the beauty of nature.
"I have lived here my whole life and I have never even heard of or seen this place before..."
He took my hand and led me down to a little clearing in the grass, right above the shore of the lake where we sat down and continued to look around. His head hung down and he looked at his lap, laughing a little before saying, "You must not get out much, huh? Why? I mean, you must have money, why don't you leave and have fun more often?"
"Eh it's not as simple as that, I just... I really can't stand the environment or the attitudes of the people in the capital. They can always find a way to dehumanize another person. After my father passed, my family lost a significant amount of our income and we practically became invisible to the others in the capital. When other people treat you as lesser than or inhuman and like they can do whatever they want to you it's disheartening. The shallowness of other people gets to me too. How am I ever supposed to make friends if they don't care to get to know me? My family just keeps getting hit with trouble after trouble I'm just... I don't know."
I felt a little pathetic rambling on to Finnick. I'm sure he wasn't ready for that kind of trauma dump. My fingers tangled with the hem of my dress and I looked down, examining how my nail polish had chipped at some point during the night. Finnick was silent for a moment. I started to feel even more embarrassed. I didn't need to give him that much information. I was about to open my mouth again to talk about something else but he beat me to it.
"Y/N... Honestly, I understand that on so many levels. Especially as a person who isn't from here but always has to be here for business, I understand fully what you mean but, not everyone is like that and in a way, you're sort of doing the same thing if you're generalizing other capital people like that too... Not to say that you're at fault or anything though but... think about it this way. The way they act is because they were raised that way, truly if you hadn't gone through what you went through you would end up the same way they are,"
His words made me flinch. The idea of being just as shallow as them scared me, deeply. He looked at me, laughed a little, and continued.
"I know I know... This is kind of a hard thing to say, I mean, it's easier to say than to do but, every barrier we cross is another lesson learned. The things we go through turn us into the people we are today and it's our job as people to be people, good people. There is a lot of bad in this world, the least we can do is try to make light with the small things we do. If you spend your whole life worrying too much about the things you can't change, you'll spend your life too stuck in the past and miserable. I was dealt a pretty shitty hand in life but I'm trying to make the best of what I was given and hey, my shitty ass circumstances led me here, with you right now and that seems pretty cool to me"
My heart skipped a beat and I moved my head up to look at Finnick. He was now laying on his back staring up at the sky, head turning to make eye contact with me. I swear this man had a way of reading just the deepest parts of my soul. Deep green eyes met my own and I saw a glimmer, a shine in his eyes that hadn't been there before. A warm smile tugged at the corners of my lips and we sat in silence for a moment, just staring deep into each other's eyes.
"I'd have to agree with you on that one Finnick..." I whispered. He chuckled then turned back to look at the sky.
"Y/N... come join me, the stars are beautiful tonight," He said and patted the ground next to him, ushering me closer. I followed and lay right beside him looking up at the twinkling stars. Normally you can never see the stars so clearly in the capital because of the amount of air and light pollution was so dense but right now, they were shining bright. Maybe things just looked brighter with Finnick next to me. I looked back at Finnick's face, he seemed lost in thought, staring up at the stars.
"Don't you see the starlight? Isn't it crazy to think about how something so far can still be seen be seen by us here? They shine so brightly so that they can bring joy to the rest of the universe. I want to make a change in the world that significant one day. Do something so great that it will bring great joy to everyone for years to come... like even when I die I will be happy knowing there will be happiness after me because of me... I don't know maybe I'm just unrealistically daydreaming right now," Finnick rambled on so confidently but pulled back on that last line. I turned onto my side to look at him, hand coming to stroke the side of his face.
"I- I think you can do it... you're meant for something greater than this Finnick I can feel it..." earnestly, I spoke. While I had just met the man I could just feel this energy radiating off of him. "Sorry if this is sort of sudden but, you have such a pull to you Finnick... You seem to make everything feel like magic when I'm around you. I'm so enchanted by the life you bring to the room and it's actually insane to me. I have been having a great time tonight and I know I wouldn't have had the tiniest bit of enjoyment if I didn't get to meet you tonight. Finnick, you shine brighter than the whole sky and I'm sure you'll make the whole world feel your warmth too."
Finnick didn't speak, maybe I word vomited a little there but I meant every word I said. I swear I could see tears welling up in his troubled eyes before he closed them hard and started to speak. "Truly... those are the kindest words anyone has ever said to me y/n. You don't have any idea how much your sincerity means to me. Thank you" He propped himself up on his elbow to turn to me too. I can't describe what took over me when he finally opened his eyes again. With piercing green eyes and just the hint of a smile on his handsome face, I subconsciously started to lean forward and to my surprise, he was mirroring my actions. It happened so fast, his warm lips were on mine and his free hand found its way to my cheek. The moment was magical, our lips moving in a rhythmic pattern. He pulled away slowly and looked deeply into my eyes while we took a moment to catch our breaths.
"Finnick..."
"Yeah?"
"I think I like you... a lot." My face grew more red with embarrassment while my eyes searched his face for a response. He smiled at me, lips slightly parted before he leaned back in, kissing me a little harsher, lips burning with passion. He lightly placed me on to my back and we continued to share this moment of innocent intimacy while he hovered over me. My fingers tangled in his soft, blond hair and his weight pressed against my body, one of his hands on my face, keeping me close to him, and the other propping himself up. I knew I had to stop myself before this went too far but I really didn't want to. I wanted this night, this moment, to go on forever. Unfortunately, that decision was made for me when he pulled away and looked down on me. The gold shark tooth necklace he was wearing dangled down in front of my face. He smiled again at me. "We should head back to the party now before it gets too late... It'll be more fun I promise," he leaned down to kiss my forehead then came back up, "They play faster-paced music at the end of the night because that's when all the old people go home. You know they might have a heart attack once the bass kicks in," We shared a laugh and he leaned closer to me again, he nuzzled his face into the nook of my neck and placed a soft kiss on my collarbone that sent shivers down my spine. Goosebumps pricked at my skin and his breath tickled as it brushed against my my ear before he whispered, "I like you too y/n... a lot."
I was a blushing mess at this point. He kissed my cheek before sitting back up. He hit me with that charming smile and I pathetically tried to cover my face with my hands but he grabbed my wrists and stopped me.
"No no none of that, I like seeing how flustered you are it's kind of funny."
"Oh boo you asshole," I joked, sitting up and playfully punching his arm. He laughed hard and stood up to his feet, extending his hand out to help me up. Taking his offer, he helped me onto my feet.
With arms linked, we walked away from the lakeside shore and back to the capital party. My eyes searched the room to see if my mom had noticed I left and from the looks of the third empty glass of liquor on the table she was at and the way her eyes were lit up while she continued to chat with the other women her age, she didn't notice a thing. Finnick's hand squeezed mine tightly and gave me a reassuring smile and we walked back onto the dance floor.
By the end of the night, I couldn't tell if it was the intoxicating spirit of Finnick or the amount of times I had spun around the dance floor but I was so dizzy. I could barely think straight but there was only one thing on my mind.
When could I see him again?

Eternal grace to the Overseer, the one who watched over them all...
And the one who apparently always got into trouble
Can you even imagine how many times he almost had a heart attack when you were in a risky situation?
And why the heck does it have to be Overblots??! Can't it be just, I don't know, ordinary students
The first time you threw yourself into trouble without a second thought he had hoped that just the situation had pushed you to this
The second time he was starting to realize that this was just you
And the third time he had fully accepted that and tried to protect you from yourself
But he can't just let his good be hurt
Oh no, he has to do something about that
So being the good little follower that he is he limits your social circle to himself and his trusty friends, the toothpick master and his students
But as we know, Malleus is despite looking and behaving in the canon like he couldn't hurt a fly a pretty dangerous individual
So what does he do to keep things away from you that could hurt you
Roses are red, violets are blue, they could hurt you, so I made them disappear and never appear again by making their souls fall into an endless pit of darkness and oh maybe I have also done something to their families... did you like that little thing he wrote for you?
But he is our dear follower who just cares about you so what could be the worst he could do... no way to thing above is something he would do... haha... ha...
Now, take his hand and he shall make sure that nothing could ever happen to you
Don't worry why you feel sometimes like things aren't real. It's just his way of protecting you. Oh? The other students seem kind of lifeless? Like I said, he takes care of your safety. In a tower. With roses. With a dragon sitting on it and you dreaming a sweet dream of your normal day overand over again.
Tumblr media
Uh... how to start...
The thing is, Lilia would probably thinks that the chaos that you also cause by acting like this is wanted and not just a byproduct
And since he is already a good-meaning menace and master of very sharp and long toothpicks you might imagine that things could be... chaotic
But when you get hurt in the process of all of this?
Phew well... good riddance to the person who is the cause of that injury
My man over here plays no games
New paint for Heartslabyul is all I'm saying. It smells metallic? Nah. That's just in your head-Lilia to the entire dorm
He will also make sure that at least two people are watching you
He and Silver like to sit on that while in the ceiling when you are sitting in the living room
It's a great father-son bonding time, ok?
But no nononono, this isn't all
I also would advise not to drink any liquid, even water, that he gives you
He might have put one or two drops in it that make you a bit drowsy, just to make sure that you do nothing too serious
Now let's stay calm, no need to panic, you just need to keep your distance... why is your stuff being moved to Diasomnia?
He will be around you twenty-two hours a day, two hours to make sure that everybody has something to eat
Well... you will probably live a most comfortable life... if you don't mind never leaving your room and only interacting with his family
It's a great Overseer-Diasomnia bonding time

game on
pairing: rafe cameron x female reader
summary: y/n runs into rafe at the bar.
word count: 802
a/n: haven't posted in a while but i figured with the new season finally out i would publish this draft i had, might do a part 2 depending on the feedback!
Tumblr media
Y/N didn't even want to go out tonight. She was only here because her roommate dragged her, completely ignoring the fact that she had class tomorrow morning.
The nightclub was dark and crowded, but the energy was electric. She could tell that most people were here for one thing and one thing only: a hookup. Despite being in college for a few years now, the hookup culture was one thing she never got used to. She respected people that could participate in it, but personally, she had a hard time with the idea of sleeping with a stranger and never seeing them again (or worse, seeing them in the elevator and having it be awkward).
Her roommate dragged her into the middle of the dance floor, because "that's where all the fun happens!" It was also where people got trampled if they weren't careful, but she didn't think her friend would appreciate her bringing that up.
As soon as they made it on the dance floor, the music started picking up and it was getting harder to keep up. However, Y/N tried her best to dance to the songs and stay close to her friend, knowing that the night would go by a lot faster if she at least tried to have fun.
About two hours in, Y/N had to excuse herself from the floor and grab some water from the bar before she passed out. She signaled to her friend that she was leaving and began weaving her way through the crowd.
"Y/N? What are you doing here?" A familiar voice asked her. Startled, she turned around with her drink in hand to be met by.... someone from her business class.
But not just anyone, the Kook King himself, Rafe Cameron.
"Hey, you're from my business class right?" she said, deciding not to give him the satisfaction of knowing his name.
"Uh yeah, sorry if I scared you there, I just thought you looked like a girl from my class and I was right."
"Would've been very awkward if my name wasn't Y/N. I'm sorry, what's yours again?"
He looked a little disappointed, "You don't remember?"
"Agh, sorry. It's embarrassing, but I'm really bad with faces and names so don't take it personally," you responded.
"All good," he reached out to shake your hand, not seeming to notice the sarcasm in your tone, "Cameron, Rafe Cameron."
"Oh! Rafe, that's right. How could I forget? You're always showing up late to class."
"Woah... I came out here to have a good time tonight, not to get made fun of." Rafe put his hands up in defense.
"Sorry, haha. People have told me I come off a little too strong sometimes."
"Hey, it's no worries, I appreciate your assertiveness."
It wasn't that she hated Rafe, she had nothing against him personally, but he was Rafe. Spoiled, privileged, and entitled, he lived in an entirely different world from the majority of the island. Even next to other Kooks, he stood out. The Camerons were by far, the most affluent family on the Cut.
So, she couldn't help herself when it came to taking jabs at him, masked as sarcasm or banter.
Fueled by the drink in her hand, she continued, "You here alone?"
"Well, I came with Topper and Kelce but I'm not sure where they are now. Hoping to leave with someone else though..."
Again, Y/N knew that everyone here was looking for a hookup. Still, she paused for a second at hearing Rafe being so blunt. Normally, she would be unfazed by his actions, in fact she had been dodging people's advances all night, but whether it was the alcohol in her system or sleep deprivation messing with the chemicals in her brain, she decided to keep entertaining him.
"Oh, yeah? Seen a couple blonde girls around that might be your type."
If Rafe was taken aback, he did a good job of hiding it. "Thought you didn't know my name, but now you know who my type is?"
"I only remember the important stuff," you took another sip of your drink.
Rafe was used to getting what he wanted. Most girls that he approached gave in almost immediately, but Y/N was not most girls. She was going to make him chase her.
"Alright," he nodded. "Do you want to play a game to test your memory?"
"Depends, will there be a prize if I win?"
"Of course, but I have a feeling we'll both get something out of it."
He was being a douchebag. Y/N knew all this, and yet, she couldn't help but be amused by his perseverance. If there was one thing she loved, it was the thrill that came with chasing someone. Game on.
"Okay, I'm in. What's the game?"

ch 107
HAVING THE TIME OF MY LIFE....! Ah I can't believe it is ALL Tsukasa x Nene ! I always anticipate that we'll spend time elsewhere on the other guys... ahhh so many pages ♥♥♥ wonderful....!!
Tumblr media
something so pleasant about the attentive, patient, listening Tsu... how he goes about his business navigating a boundary....
Tumblr media Tumblr media
in Japanese, the word Tsukasa uses for Nene-chan here ["fussy"] is the same Amane uses to describe what Tsukasa will be like if he's interrupted at Katanuki.... ♥ Amane seems to feel very differently about 'fits' than Tsukasa does ... wwwwww.... hm, it's actually bad that Amane feels like... ♥ tantrum ... you're the one I worry about
it's too funny Tsukasa just does what Nene-chan says when she no wanna be upside-down....
I'm so sorry about your future boyfriends Nene-chan. Kidnapper and Abusive Boyfriend. they are both stupid and you hate them, I know I know....
Tumblr media Tumblr media
but a pause to say, it's so funny how pairings can be as kids, ahahaha... Hakubo was, so annoyed by Sumire, such a brat child she was, so inconvenient.. apparently young Akane could be possessed to yell I HATE YOU! at Aoi....! Amane got so mad and shoved Tsukasa, and he used to call him dummy when he was frustrated too.... even Kou acts childishly and insults Mitsuba when annoyed (and isn't Mitsu such a brat haha ...) even in My Dear Living Dead and Narisokonai Snow White, we really have some "ugh!!!!" between the pairings, ahaha.
ah its funny to see Tsukasa say urusai wwwwww
Tumblr media
GET HIM!!!! Nene-chan ♥ so bold so brave haha, Mitsuba wouldn't DREAM of doing this, haahahaha!!! you know the way people imagine Tsukasa VS Nene-chan, they'd imagine he'd rip her face off like a chimpanzee for this, I'm glad for some people to be proven wrong... lol...
meanwhile... wwwwww.... Tsukasa-chan, you complain about all of this fuss and tantrum and violence and such but... wwww.....
Tumblr media
the atmosphere is so different wwwww all Yugi are so frustrating and make you cry, huh, Nene-chan? They wanna do things you don't and you're along for the ride, hehehehe....
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Fascinated in the small gap in memory... maybe things that aren't so important to you, are easily forgotten in all that time, in a mundane way. What did mom do...? I don't remember... ah. I really like to see Tsukasa talking to his joudai so much; we don't see it as often as we do with Hanako... they seem to be saying something like, "well, children are different..." and "what did your mom do?" ... I like that they seem to not want fickle Tsukasa to lose interest or gumption hehehehaha they wanna solve this!!! nooo we can't just give up, we gotta-- do the things--- ngnngn!!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
such wonderful and magical things Tsukasa can doooo uwwaaahhh! Sometimes I get why Amane's name has the 'normal' kanji... with Amane he'll take you to a beach to do normal summertime things like whacka watermelon, go to festival stalls supernatural and non... I feel like only Tsukasa would wrangle a giant owl and steer you all around to delight you....
Tumblr media
so sweet you're just trying to entertain her... make her happy... a natural talent
Tumblr media
such a nice face.... ♥♥♥ Tsutsu please you...
Tumblr media
it's like I'm having a beautiful dream... their little faces...
Tumblr media
MOUUU IKKAI ahahahhaha, you were too good... ♥ you made her manic .. overstimulated... zoomies... soooo cute haha NENE-CHAAAN!! you're overwhelming no matter what hahahaha....
Tumblr media Tumblr media
fickle.... ♥.....
the poor joudai really being put to task wwww it makes me feel like Hanako is much kinder to his, he is not this rude to them!! He is apt to pet them and thank them... I can't wait to learn what the hell these orbs are.... they are too personable lol
and then I start dreaming... madness madness... I can't bare it.... it can't be said enough, how long I've wanted this...! How it's felt so "set-up", with Tsukasa and Nene-chan both loving to sing....! I believed in my heart it was inevitable! Of course, it would be beautiful!
Tumblr media
I can't believe Tsukasa can play this kind of coy and baiting little game....! whaaaaat? You're suddenly as adept as a children's show host... and it wasn't even your plan to send her to sleep! So what for? Just to invite her to sing? It's too cute....
ahhh.. I hope for a volume promo we get this in color. It's too sublime.... the steam off the hot gears as the boundary's water runs over them... knowing these gears are a golden color... and can you even imagine, in the anime? Both Tsukasa and Nene-chan's VAs can sing!!!! The sound is plausible....;;; it's too lovely... I can't believe such a beautiful scene can happen so 'soon' in their dynamic. I thought I'd wait so long for this, even though in my heart I knew it would happen at some point. It's amazing ... in some way, TsuNene lacks resistance.... it's their open and free natures ... impulses ... it can just 'happen'....
Tumblr media Tumblr media
too serene... I wonder what it's like to not understand Tsukasa's hidden grace, the gentility? This scene is so gracious of him.... invite you to sing with me.... there are expressions only Tsukasa makes, and, suddenly the twins feel worlds apart. They feel impossibly different.... poor Amane, he doesn't often reach serenity...
Tumblr media
I wonder what you feel, Nene-chan...? Comfort... warmth? Safety, even for a second? A sense of security... enough to fall asleep. So glad she turns to watch him sing...
Looking at it. Why is it like some sort of date ... TsuNene is impressive. You took a girl on an amusement park ride .... you serenaded her ... Amane, look out....
Tumblr media
two things... 1. it's crazy you can just catch Mirai like this when Amane could NOT at ALL, even with how desperately he wanted to prevent her from touching Nene-chan in the Clockkeepers arc. and 2. you suddenly have this violent agility to stop this inhuman speeding mouse, but you simply let Nene-chan evade your sleep fingers just earlier? Tsukasa really is avoiding using violence with Nene-chan....
ah, you remind me of someone!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the Yugi can be so different and then so alike. It's a pain, isn't it? tedious things... the mysteries. And here Mirai is, droning on about justice and crime and rules.... all of the things we don't need. If we want to change the future, we'll have to break all of those. The Yugi look at other mysteries as chores in these circumstances. You'd just like to do as you please without annoying interruptions. Of course, it has to happen... sigh.
Interesting to hear Mirai refer to their 'Court of Law'. I suppose that 'space' we see is some sort of body of their boundary, and some aspect of their themeing. These gavels ... how annoying. This truly is a force opposite to the destructive and villainous Yugi who are trying to bend fate to their desires. Strictures... ! Governing ... bleh.

“Would you choose me in every lifetime?”
Announcing “intertwine,” a short visual novel coming to otome jam 2023 🪡
Hi my friends 💖 I’m adding some Alaris updates under the cut to reassure you of development in case you’re worried about otome jam + Alaris!
I’ve been going back and forth on whether to post this or just keep it to myself, but I thought for the sake of transparency, communication with fans, and just normalizing the harder parts of game dev, it would be better to talk about this.
This is NOT bad news about Alaris, so please don’t freak out! But as you all may or may not have figured from my devlogs, I've been struggling with working on Alaris for the past... 2 months? I've made progress on it as much as I'm able to, but I've often found myself coming up against a creative wall and/or burnout. And I often feel like I'm disappointing you all because of it. There are a couple of internal deadlines I had set for myself that I just haven't been reaching lately, and while I know no one is actually rushing me, I feel like I'm dropping the ball.
This is common for a lot of indie developers, but I'm a solo developer. While I have a small team who helps me polish Alaris (i.e., editors, BG artist, GUI artist), at the end of the day, I'm the one who is in charge of everything. I don't have a separate person who can handle building out the art assets, or someone who oversees the writing, etc. And so, to feel like I'm making sufficient progress on Alaris, I'm constantly working on it, whether that's reviewing edits, creating CGs, writing the script, approving art assets/creating briefs for those assets, etc. And I do have a day job haha.
For most of Alaris's development, Alaris was my creative hobby, so I didn't really mind putting so much work into it. But lately, I think because I've been revamping the demo, I feel like I've been in this ~game dev thang~ for two years with no complete product to show for it. And having to go back and redo the demo two years into development is like an extra knife to the gut since it feels like... backward progress almost? Even though I know that's not true.
So while an otome jam project might feel inappropriate given I have Alaris to work on, it's something I've wanted to do since becoming a game dev. And after some encouragement from dev friends, I decided to take the leap because having a different creative outlet might resolve some of my struggles with Alaris. Getting to have one complete project would also be a super huge motivation booster for me!
I'm super happy to say that intertwine has been just what I needed. I've felt more motivated to work on both intertwine and Alaris and my dissertation lmao. As I've mentioned, Druk's route has been giving me a hard time, but I recently made a lot of progress on it. Overall, the creative process has just been coming to me more smoothly. So I'm excited to bring you all a complete game by the end of June as well as, what I hope to be, a lot of really nice progress on Alaris <3

Hey sorry bout this but what's the etiquette for tagging and liking and reblogging (and what kind of reblogging to do)?
hi! don't worry about it - new social media sites are scary sometimes, haha, i still don't know how twitter works. but here's some etiquette as i understand it!
reblog whatever you want. i'm serious. i literally reblog or queue every single post i like that i see, but you don't have to do this. it's considered REALLY NORMAL to reblog a lot of stuff, though, or even to reblog the same thing more than once! if you like it, and you think maybe other people would want to see it, or just want to comment to the op... reblog it!
when it comes to likes, the thing to keep in mind is that most tumblr users keep their likes private, and liked posts don't show up on other people's dashes. therefore liking a post only helps the number of notes go up, which only helps its standing when searching through a tag - otherwise, it effectively "does nothing for the algorithm", as most tumblr users largely just look at their dash. i personally use likes either to indicate that it's a post i've reblogged before so i don't constantly reblog the same things over and over again and to like, indicate that i've seen posts that are like, personal or not really a rebloggable thing, but i want to be like "yes i agree" or "i see you" to, you know? however, everyone uses them differently - some people use them as bookmarks, for example, and some people use them for the traditional use of "i liked this, i just don't want to reblog it". the thing to keep in mind that a like is like, an indicator that you've seen something, and a reblog boosts it further! that informs the etiquette on which you want to do. ultimately, though, it's your decision how to use that tool.
tags are for organizational use. DO NOT CROSSTAG. that's the big etiquette to remember. only tag things on your original posts that are relevant to THAT POST. (this, for the record, includes: do not put the 'minecraft' tag on anything that's mcyt! those are separate fandoms and we don't want to flood the guys just trying to talk about the game.) if you crosstag and i notice it in the tags i do in fact immediately report you for spam and block you. beyond that, on original posts, it's really up to you how you tag, just remember that only the first... i think its five... are relevant to people trying to search for posts, so if you want higher discoverability save conversational tags for after those.
when it comes to reblogs, tags are both for organizing your own blog how you want (if you use them, i don't) and for like, comments that you want to make on a post, but do not add to the post. it is normal to leave conversational tags on reblogs, and to talk in the tags of posts about things that are not the main body of the posts. because the tags don't get reblogged with the post when someone reblogs it, it's sort of like whispering! you will get the hang of it by watching what other people do, if that makes you nervous. generally, just remember that OP can see your tags, and then chat however you want in them.
i hope this helps!

Oh, aren't the tickets unnecessarily cheap?
Well, turtle bros are working hard these times and they definitely deserve an award (not romantic)
Warning: Nothing
No spoiler from movie
Writing type: Short fic
Author note: Haha the movie haha...༎ຶ‿༎ຶ BTW PLEASE GO AND GİVE A HİGHSCORE AT IMDB WHAT THE SHELL IS 5,4??????
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This week was so hard for bros, at some point, all the villains seemed to agree to attack at the same time. You haven't seen the turtle's faces for a week, they even reply to your messages late.
You can't lie, you really missed them. You were in a position to not be angry if they come to your house and break everything again. So thanks for your clever mind (and losing your way home) you just found out that Jupiter Jim's new movie was played in theaters. Brothers always talked about it and made you watch but it was... Eh, it was looking low budget and kinda make you remember Star Trek but if they love it maybe you could put up with an hour or two.
You handed the money in your pocket to the young man who works there and bought 5 tickets.
"Oh, aren't the tickets unnecessarily cheap?" You looked at the boy when you took the change. You weren't even sure if he was really listening to you, his eyes were staring blankly.
"Well, if you want to, you can give more."
"Ok, ok, haha- have a nice day sir!"
You took your phone out of your pocket and called Donnie, the phone rang several times and you heard the voice of the purple turtle.
"Y/N, What happened?" He sounded so tired, normally he wouldn't stretch his words, but now it was too long and difficult for him to even say three words.
"Oh, I was gonna say, prepare with your bros and meet me at the cinema."
"HEY, IS THAT Y/N?"
"Yes, Leon and why Y/N? I don't think some of us can even lift their feet."
"C'moooon, don't be a game breaker. I'm waiting you"
"Y/N-"
Donnie looked in disbelief at the beeping phone on his face.
"Well guys, Y/N is waiting us at the cinema."
A different voice came out of every head that heard this. After some minutes to accept their fate, Raph stood up and stretched.
"Ok, D get the keys and I will carry Leo and Mikey to car. C'mon guys."
You waited 15 minutes in front of the cinema, wow- No one really came here. The charging icon of the phone was red, there was nothing you could do but wait. You started to play with the stone at your feet, threw it forward, and followed it with another kick. As you continued like this, a painful brake sound was heard near his ears. The brothers' car stood before you in all its splendor and with the tired turtles inside.
"Y/N, why are we he-"
"Shhh, Raph silence. TA-TA-TADAM, LOOK!" You pointed at the poster of Jupiter Jim with your hands with a proudful smile
"OHMIGOSH, ISN'T THIS JUPITER JIM'S NEW MOVİE AAAAAAA-"
"I totally forgot about it, damn thanks Y/N!"
"I wrote about it in my program but... I didn't see it, eh."
You watched from behind as all three brothers rushed to the cinema. You missed seeing them.
Feeling the pressure on your shoulder, you turned around and Raph was standing there with the warmest smile on his face. "Hey Y/N, thank you so much."
"LEO DON'T PUT YOUR FOOT ON THE SEAT, I CAN NOT SEE!"
"Shhhh shut up guys, I can't hear!"
"RAPH YOU POURED THE WHOLE POPCORN!"
"OH, I'M SOR-"
"Don't worry guys, I'm here for saving the day." Leo grabbed the katana and shook it in the air.
"NO, LEO PLEASE-"

Hello! Can i request platonic headcanon about captain!reader? Just being to valkyries and actually after some time became a parentla figure for them? (For kiana or mei, or together lol)
avavavavava okeeyyy!
“Hello parental figure!”
captain!reader x valkyries (PLATONIC)
warning: typos, bad grammar  
attention! please do not try to repost my works, I only post my works on Tumblr, if anyone see someone stole my works please inform me through the comments, tag me in the works, or message me!
.
.
.
“Nice to meet you, I’m Y/N, the captain of Hyperion” you greet the new girls that today are visiting your ship, you bow, and try to hold your laughter when you saw Kiana, Mei, and Bronya try to bow as well, but all of them bump to each other’s head.
“Don’t get into the Bronya’s way Kiana idiotka.”
Kiana who’s tried to bite Bronya’s head quickly stopped by Mei, at that moment you lost your control, and your laughter successfully out of your mouth, in a split second, the three of them stopped fighting and end up looking at you who just laughing out of nowhere.
“Sorry, it’s just fun to see a fun person like you guys, please make yourself comfortable here” you speak to them while holding Kiana’s hand followed by Mei and Bronya’s hand
“Captain don’t go too easy on them” Himeko tried to remind you about them who’s a bit problematic (even though Mei isn’t), but you swing your other hand, telling her that “it’s fine”
.
.
.
“Captain, thank you for being with us for all of these years... “ you look at Mei, and then you nodded, “I’m the one who should say that, you guys mean a lot to me, happy that you guys coming into my life, feels like owning a daycare here haha!”
“D- daycare!? we’re not kids captain, don’t say that!”
.
.
.
“Captain I’m hungryyy~!” 
“Should we go to a Sushi restaurant? or how about we grill? or I can just make you a normal dinner here, I’ll cook”
“you can cook captain?”
“You underestimate me, Kiana? then you’re not going to eat tonight, bye-bye ~!”
“EEHHH NO CAPTAIN I’M SORRYYY PLSSS :(”
.
.
.
“Happy birthday Bronya! here’s a present for you!”
Bronya taking a big box as she knows is your gift for her birthday, and it’s heavy...
when Bronya opened it, her eyes widened, it was the new HOMU plushie, figure, a new game console, and also a new headset, of course, can’t be forgotten is a small box filled with cookies with many HOMU shapes
“Did captain prepare all of this just for Bronya..? thank you... the Bronya will keep all of this...” 
“But you must eat the cookies I made-”
“Bronya doesn’t want to eat the cookies, Bronya wants to keep them”
“Bronya they’ll rotten, you can keep the rest”
.
.
.
“Fu Hua...? can’t sleep?” you walk and stand beside her, looking at her holding a cup of warm tea
“It’s nothing just.. get woke up.. I’ll sleep again later” she replied, greets you with a smile.
You sigh and put your blazer on top of her shoulder, “It’s cold today, Your tea will be cold soon”, you could see her nodding even though your hall is dark
“Thank you... captain”
.
.
.
"No news about Kiana or Himeko? " You sat on a chair, looking worried, you can't sleep for the past few days after Himeko's brave move to stop Herrscher of the Void, but you don't want to worry, because there is still more to do rather than just standing still, worried, and making everything more difficult.
"We got nothing, but we will try again tomorrow, get a rest Captain.. " Headmaster Theresa replied and then left you alone, because everyonwe needs to rest.
"I'm so sorry... "
.
.
.
"Captain.. Are you okay? Bronya worried about you.. " You look at Bronya standing behind you, try to hold you on your shoulder but she's so small that she can't reach it,
"It's.. Nothing, it must be harder for you and Kiana right? Mei got away like that.. " You scoffed, patting Bronya's head and give her a slight hug or warm and calmness.
"The Bronya.. Doesn't want to see captain sad.. Bronya and idiotka Kiana are okay.. "
.
.
.
now time flies fast, you could never see the same kid that used to stay on your ship ever again
but nonetheless, you must accept that many things changed
but you will never change to be a good supporter for any way they’ll be at
still, you can’t lie but to say you miss the four of them.. to be together...
.
.
.
“Captain, thank you for still letting me be in here”
“I’m happier to be able to see you in my ship, Mei, just like the old days..” you hummed with a smile
“But it’s not the same huh?”
“it’s not the same, but I still feel grateful for anything that happens to the four of you.” you sip your tea, looking at Mei with a soft stare, enjoying the silent night with the two of you sitting on a couch
You miss them. but you can’t do anything.

okay so i heard a lot of people talk about edgeworth's line on marriage in aa-6's dlc but what about phoenix ??? here is the lines mentioned by the way
Phoenix: W-Wait. You're not thinking about finally settling down and getting married, are you?
Edgeworth: Why do you always have to jump to such extreme conclusions? For your information, I have no intention of doing such a thing... What about you, Wright?
Phoenix: No plans here for now, even if I wanted to... (Well, at least I found out how Edgeworth feels about marriage. Not that it has anything to do with the case...)
"even if i wanted to" ??? like i know those are 5 words but if they wanted phoenix to say "haha i'm single so not gonna happen" they could've just made him say "no plans here for now, and not for a long time" or just end it at "no plans here for now" because it's like saying " i don't plan on getting married and even if i wanted to it's not like i can" (that's how i read it anyway)
and because i am completely not normal about this line since the day i read it and i mulled over it for way too much time (i have no life) i'm going to give some answers to why can't phoenix get married even if he wanted to ? why can't he ???
because he's single: the most simple answer and i guess the one the game wanted us to think about. basically he's saying "i have no plans for now, and even if i wanted to because well... you can't get married if you're alone" (i think people marrying themselves is a thing though). but again, if that was the intended meaning, they could've stopped at "no plans here for now" and call it a day, it's short and effective and people (like me) wouldn't be breaking their brains thinking about it.
because he's a father: OKAY before you come at me listen. trucy is amazing and everything (i love her. really) BUT that wouldn't stop phoenix from worrying if 1) his partner would accept getting married with someone with a child 2) if trucy would accept said partner and 3) if the two of them would get along. defo not the meaning intended but it's one of the first thing i thought about (because it made some kind of sense to me)
because the one he loves isn't interested in him/available: he has "no plan" on getting married because his love is one-sided. even if he wanted to get married it's not like he can if he's the only one in love, thus the "even if i wanted to". the "even if i wanted to" is meant here as a possibility "if in a near future i want to get married well i can't" which would make sense if he has a some non-requited feelings. seems rough buddy.
because he's gay/bi: the game is japanese and it was originally set in japan (even though the translation changed the localization of the game, i'm not teaching you anything) , and in japan, same-sex marriage is not legally recognized. so he doesn't plan on getting married, and even if he wanted to he can't because it's simply not legal. i don't really think it was meant that way but if they wrote it that vague it's not my problem if i pick the meaning i want :)
he's in a relationship with someone who doesn't want to get married: well, if his partner doesn't want to get married, it would make sense that he has no plans for it, even if he would've liked too, even if he would've wanted to, because well, you gotta respect your partner's wishes (there is literally no problem with not wanting to get married btw). so he's basically saying "i'm not getting married even if i wanted to because i'm with someone who doesn't want to get married". and that's okay !
anyway this is all i could think about concerning these 5 words(he is in a more financially and life stable position than in the 7 years gap so money wouldn't be the problem here), so if you have suggestions please put them in ! and if you have any questions please ask ! this sentence was so vague and could imply so many things and its contrary it's making me crazy. anyway i should stop rambling now haha.

Scaramouche headcanon
Modern AU, highschool AU
cw : mention of mommy issues, he's a meanie so he himself is a warning too, terrible English (not my country language and I'm bilingual), no proofread (is this how you spell it)
he's Ei's first child, and Raiden Shogun as his little sister, and her second.
VERY VERY smart but also VERY VERY arrogant.
calls his classmates by their grades.
"woi, 55! Shut the hell up."
he always gets the first in everything- every subject, school ranks, sports.. you name it. he's basically good at everything
definitely smirk in front of everyone when his name escaped from the teachers mouth (highest mark)
if someone has the same mark or surpassed him he'll definitely give them a DEADLY glace the whole day until that person feels the shiver even at home, and even before going to bed and sleep.
he DEFINITELY hate teaching someone about anything and people around him DEFINITELY avoid asking help from him too mainly because of his snappy demeanour, even if it's super hard questions.
eat lunch by himself, does everything by himself. if a teacher assigned group project for his class he will show up at the teacher's office and DEMAND an individual project and he definitely won't change his mind about it.
he doesn't, maybe like NEVER in many years, engage in gaming entertainment. he doesn't play games since he wants to focus on his studies to impress Ei (she usually keep on track on Shogun and he kinda feel left out and it make him pretty upset but he doesn't show it though,, despite his icy cold attitude he's actually pretty fragile around his mam "( perfectionist and mommy issues things).
despite being the BEST of the BEST, he would usually skip his club activities and speaking of club,, he picked the club with the least members and less activities because he doesn't want to communicate. he doesn't think school clubs are important AT ALL.
somehow he wears his uniform pretty decently- tie placed nicely and he even tugged his shirt too because he doesn't want to ruin his perfect achievements with some dress code crap (he doesn't care about discipline and attitude though what a weirdo)
his days of absence are very predictable too. school celebration? absent. the firefighters coming to demonstrate the usage of extinguisher and crap? oh his table is pretty dusty today. motivational speech? no need to say much, he disappeared to thin air already, never even appear at that very day.
he only comes when it's a normal day of studying and something that benefits him though.
he definitely participate in many sports competition. THIS MAN IS COMPETITIVE AF. prayers for his rivals.
man doesn't talk to his sister at school unless it's necessary (probably a year or two difference or so..).
back to the sports competition, he's the hope athlete of whatever house he is. he always win every competition he take part of- and always gets number one too! own a lot of golden medals but he pretty much abandon them at his house's store because he don't think they're enough :(
in races like 200x4,, he will definitely shout at the person which is his teammate, behind him to run faster.
"don't run like some snail at summer, press your feet and run faster you stupid!"
if his team doesn't won then (haha) prepare for missiles of insults and deadly glares from the Scaramouche himself because he won't ever forgive them for being such losers (according to him).
will definitely remember their names forever, you can't run from this man. if they were placed in a team with him again he will definitely object and tell the teacher to switch the participant with someone else because they're 'slow and useless.'.
athlete of the year.
will purposely wear it when he arrive at home to show them off to Ei, secretly hoping for some recognitions.
(she will definitely praise him no worries haha she just won't go overboard with the praises).
man definitely become tomato and reply with a
"...thanks"
and run to his room. he at least got some congrats from his mam. the attention he always wanted but definitely isn't enough.
and is definitely why he likes sports day! he can compete with people and make fun of them, plus getting some nice comments from his mam too. a fine day in a boring year!
have a small group of,, not friends but definitely a group he can at least fit himself in. consist of the annoying talkative next class boy named Childe and a bratty girl next class named La Signora and others that called the Fatui.
have I touched about his favorite subject? it's definitely science, especially astronomy! he like studying stars and meteorites! (if he's in Puroseka his unit is definitely Leoni try to change my mind). gets 90-100 in science literally.
pretty quiet in class, open mouth whenever he think is necessary.
teachers best student but
Note : I'll definitely continue this soon, well, actually this is just a test. but I had fun writing it. it's my first fanfiction I've ever posted btw, thanks for reading anyway :)
I'll include romance between him (and other characters) and reader in the future.

I feel bad saying this but I don't actually think of Henry as a full back so no, surprisingly no bias here... 🙈😂🥴😆 (I am more worried about that sharks fullback coming through in the next few years....) But Tommy Freeman's done more in a white shirt and I always thought him and Freddie worked quite well together in the back field!
No never met him or been to a game! I don't think I'd want to because I'd fear it might be a let down if that makes sense? 😭😖😅
Whats your in person analysis of Fred and how does it differ?? 😂😅💕
Oh interesting ! Well for me he just got legs and a marketable face but that's all about it, saw interviews and I'm not impressed.
Roebuck ? is that Roebuck ?
I can't really say I saw a lot from Freeman because he was not having a lot of game time and I am usually VERY focused on Jacko while I watch England which is awful because I see ALL his mistakes with a critical eye.
Big sigh + Big flop today got kicked out of one account I followed for a year / he added a new b$%ch and I got blocked by oliviafw_x who just got interested in Fred but now she blocked me so I cannot see if it is relevant or not that she follows both 😞 ( Same for sophiajkent you have info on her Idk who it is and they both follow her I'm curious it looks norwich-norfolk sided so I thought you might have info ) + you add 4 unfollowers and you got my productive day 😬🤡😬
oh it makes sense like the don't meet your heroes unless you want to be disappointed.
I can assure you , you will not be. Not by Fred. If you were a Jack's fan I couldn't promise you that.
He genuinely was defying my expectations.
First of all he is VERY tall , I was more surprised by Jack because he doesn't looks that tall but he is taller in reality even my friend who is the same height finds him taller in person. Just be prepared if you meet him to put on some heels or platforms or big sneakers or you will look midget.
He's even-tempered with everyone, he uses an even tone, doesn't distinguish between people I found that very pleasant when you know that some players have their preferences. I thought it was refreshing and a good surprise.
He is more shy in real than I would have thought I expected someone very confident or a bit A BIT haughty but he wasn't
Idk in pure flesh he is really different very VERY easy to approach and I would not have thought that since he was now a regular for England squad I was expecting an "aura" keeping people at distance aaaaaaand I felt that for J . Take all the bullet points and reverse it and you got Jack in flesh .
Nooooot gonna lie I was expecting him to be more handsome and in real I was just like : he is a normal average guy why all the fuss ? But that is just ME (TOTALLY THE OPPOSITE FOR JACK ON THAT ONE BECAUSE OMG they all fall and liquify in front of HIS EYES ??? When squidge rugby call him pretty eyes it is not a lie he looks at you with REAL INTENSITY when fred is just happy babbling with you , jack STARES. ) like for real I have got people who are not charmed by his appearance but in real ??? MAGNETISISM WITCHCRAFT so you should see me everytime I see him in flesh I'm shaking and my guts are rearranging ?? And he is so ... palpable. Ok focus you asked Fred I can tell all the difference about J another day. So yeah sorry not very melting on the inside for Fred when I think he is really handsome in some pictures
Very more human haha I know it is stupid but in 3d they are impressive ?? And it does a little something to your core. I mean that is fred !

How do you stay as motivated as you usually are? I... I'll be honest and I'm sorry for sounding so personal, but I've been going through some rough times, I can't even pick up a pencil to draw, and I've been feeling so unenergetic... Which sucks, I want to become as great as you, as I really do!!
I'm crazy /hj
I'm just very passionate about my characters and work!! It's no exaggeration when I say I am thinking about them every second of every day. I mean it with my whole chest, I am always thinking about them. They make me happy and so I'm always happy when I get to do stuff with them!!
HOWEVER!! That doesn't mean I'm immune to burnout either! I don't know you or what you're going through--maybe it's burnout, maybe it's a depressive episode, maybe it's something else entirely! etc--but when I'm feeling in a rut (which I actually have been this week, I'd say!), there's some things I like to try and do to make myself feel better. I don't know if they'll work for you, but it's worth a shot!
-Take dedicated breaks. Not just like, a 15 minute break. Like a whole day or 2 or even longer break. Of course if you have responsibilities like school and/or work you might not be able to take a break from those, but take a break from your creative endeavors for a bit. Play a videogame, watch a tv show or movie or video you want to/like, go outside if you're able to even if just to sit in the sun or listen to music! (Though it's winter in the nothern hemisphere, so maybe just dance around to music in your kitchen or something haha!) I often find that once I've been able to actually let myself have fun in other ways, I then want to come back to doing all my creative stuff and I feel more energetic about it!
-Be creative in other ways! Try to branch outside your normal mediums. If you draw a lot digitally, make something traditionally! If you usually illustrate, try playing with something like clay or strings or building blocks! Cut apart magazines and try to make collages! Of course, this isn't always accessible to everyone, especially if you need to spend money to buy some of this stuff. But even if it's as simple as filling a notebook page with doodles, it's still worth doing! The MOST important part of this though is to do it for yourself--do not worry about how the end result will come out, do not worry about sharing it to other people. You can later on if you want to, but you need to go into it knowing that your goal is to HAVE FUN! not to make a successful or consumable product.
-Draw what you want to draw. It's not secret that my most popular games are games like INMIMB and Crowscare. I could probably be attracting a lot more attention on that stuff if I drew those characters more. But Mary and Reggie are my favorite subjects to draw, so that's what I draw! And when I do that, it makes art feel like not-a-chore, but something to be enjoyed! When making my games, I have to make a lot of art for them too! Sometimes I can choose between getting a new cutscene image done, or drawing an idea I just really want to draw. And sometimes choosing the latter is rewarding because I had fun drawing it and then I can come back to the cutscene image satisfied! Draw the things you like and it will help remind you why art is so fun! Hope this isn't too long of a read! Keep your head up, champ! Just because you're not where you wanna be now doesn't mean you'll never get there! I believe in you, but most importantly believe in yourself!

Hello friend! Heres my info for the matchup exchange :D! I’d prefer a male killer from DBD, but honestly, if a survivor matches more with me thats cool too! (I’m a massive wesker simp but disregard this if he doesn’t match well with me, I promise I’m fine with it :D!!)
I use any pronouns :) I'm 5’6, I have very fair skin (i can't wear most concealer because im too pale :,) I have beauty marks that can be seen on my entire body, I have a slightly curly, blonde wolfcut, and light blue eyes. I have an hourglass shape, I am a little chubby though and have thicker thighs and uh... chest. I'm normally pretty careful.. but I do have a few scars on my knees from times I've tripped :,)) I'm proud of it all though!
Personality wise, l'm pretty dependent on other people's moods, if they're calm, I am too. Sad? Same here.. Besides that l'm usually very quiet and observant, preferring to watch the conversation rather than join in, ya know? l’ll only step in if someone asks my opinion or its something i'm super interested in/have lots of knowledge about. Seriously, I'll rant for hours to my s/o about my interests. I tend to be hyperactive and affectionate around people I care about though (especially my s/o), I absolutely will cuddle up next to them at any given moment, no questions asked. (I also will endlessly flirt with my partner if im feeling like an absolute gremlin-) I also love to playfully tease my partner, I will actually tackle them istg- l'm super caring and loyal too, so l'll make sure they know how appreciative I am of them with compliments and little gifts (random things I found that I thought they’d like- I’m like a crow-)!
I have bad anxiety which constantly makes me overthink things and fear that my partner is only with me out of pity.. Which only leads me to being jealous of others around my s/o. Haha clingy much ? :,))
Anyways, my hobbies include photography, knitting/sewing, playing video games, writing, listening to music, and fashion design!
Love language: Physical touch, gift giving, quality time.
Thank you so much and please take your time on this! Happy holidays :DD !
omg yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes
Anyways, I match you with...
Albert Wesker!
Please you two are a match made in... the entity's realm. I guess
Don't worry about the concealer, he'll have the entity make some especially for you. He doesn't care what it takes. All 4 kills every trail for the next ten trials? They're dead. A blood sacrifice? Already done. Albert doesn't really care if you wear it or not. You're still as beautiful to him either way, but if it makes you happy, he'll do anything to get it for you
This man will hug, squeeze, kiss, or even bite your curves every chance he can get. You can't blame him though! You're just so...squishy, and he loves it.
He's almost always calm, so you will be too. Seriously, this man needs to learn to express his feelings more often.
Pretty much the only time Wesker isn't calm is after an especially difficult trail. You get one of two versions of him. He's either very VERY angry, to the point where he'll excuse himself to go let put some of said anger, or he gets really affectionate. You won't be getting up for a while.
Please rant to him about anything you want. He loves it so much, even if it looks like he doesn't. It makes Wesker content to see you so excited.
He's never content
Flirt with him, I dare you. He'll flirt back so hard. It'd be funny to watch you guys go back and forth, trying to fluster the other
Albert almost always wins
He will keep each and every gift that you give him in his drawer at RPD. The entity makes it to where the drawer that he keeps them in is much bigger than it looks.
Don't worry about being jealous, Albert literally never interacts with others. He only does if either you or the entity makes him.
Please make him socialize, he needs it sometimes
Make him a new outfit and he'll love it. He may not wear it in trials, but he'll wear it when no one other than you can see it. He has an image to uphold, just not around you
If you're a survivor, Wesker will still chase you around in the trails. He won't hurt you, heavens no! He'll just get your adrenaline going
He'll also make it VERY clear to all the other survivors and killers that you aren't to be touched.
One time, Ace scoffed at you and said some...unsavory things. When you finally told Wesker about it, he made sure that Ace had a very interesting trail. He did some things that even the entity couldn't stop.
His head was delivered to the campfire on a stick :)
Anytime any of the killers even look at you for too long, let alone sacrifice you, they get an earful from Albert. And maybe a sock to the jaw if they argue back-
If you're a fellow killer, he'll sit there and let you vent about survivors being dicks and anything else you want to vent about
All in all, he enjoys your presence very much and will let you do anything you want
Treat him well :D
