#STILL REALLY LIKET HIS ONE

how do you feel about the changes from the original source in episode 2? personally i love how much more screentime women get compared to the novel—the brother-sister dynamic they added was such a nice touch and showing more of Ming’s family life early on really humanizes him. i also like that sol’s motivation for rejecting joe is different. it kind of got into gay-for-you terrority sometimes 😭 sorry for the ramble!
okay nonnie so my current verdict is I'M IN LOVE but i'm also wary.
before this series was even out, i had MULTIPLE conversations with different people on managing expectations for a better experience watching my stand-in because any novel reader would know it's NOT an easy novel to adapt considering its source material. you need a fine balance on how to make the scum ml as terrible as the story needs him to be for the emotional payoff to be as satisfying as it did in the novel, while not to make him so terrible that he's irredeemable in the audience's eye (which i'm sure not all novel readers felt yan ming xiu had redeemed himself yet at the end).
Tumblr media
watching the first and only trailer, my fears heightened because it definitely has a lot of sweet ming and joe scenes than i expected it to -> the impression i had then was that 'oh no they're going to softening up yan ming xiu and make him less callous towards zhou xiang' -> i told myself alright it's an adaptation, i will be happy if they just get the major PLOT points (as you can see my expectations bar were on the floor because i didn't wanna get my hopes up, that's how much i liked professional body double)
Tumblr media
but so far, i think i've been loving the changes in this adaptation because it feels liket the same story but slightly different characterization and pacing.
Tumblr media
so first let's talk about yan ming xiu aka ming. as i mentioned my fear of him being softened, i think that fear has gradually dissipated while we ease into ep 2 because i think the series does a GOOD job of recharacterizing yan ming xiu to fit with up poompat.
Tumblr media
so a bit of !!!!!novel spoilers warning but not really because im being very vague about it!!!!! but i always felt like yan ming xiu wasn't really well depicted in the novel since the novel is written from zhou xiang's perspective, yan ming xiu is so often to be looked through this rose colored lens of his to the point where i felt like ymx was a rather one dimensional pretty, arrogant, spoiled brat. reading the novel back then, i felt what a lot of average audience is currently asking from the series: SO WHAT DOES ZHOU XIANG SEE IN YAN MING XIU, is his dick that worth it?
Tumblr media
but like you mentioned, the series does well in humanizing ming and i would argue that the series has answered the question above better than the novel as joe makes it explicitly clear why he likes ming so bad (bonus is getting ming to hear this as well). with series!ming, we get to see aspects of his family life, the people around him and his general background whereas it took the novel 2/3 of the way for them to start introducing ymx's family to us but not for a very good reason but rather for a cliche subplot which i dislike (that i need the thai adaptation to do something better with this one).
Tumblr media
so rather than fearing the 'softening' up of ymx, i feel like this humanization treatment the series is giving ming is a better way of adapting novel!ymx because my stand-in doesn't shy away and unapologetically makes ming a terrible red flag...
Tumblr media
... yet simultaneously gives the audience some clues as to why ming is a red flag the way he is and it's not a seemingly inherent callous nature like other 188 novel scum mls. don't get me wrong, he's still a scum ml nonetheless but if you look at ymx's inherent level of maliciousness, it's nowhere near other scum mls written by the same author. and i think what my stand-in does well. because it is making the point 'ming is a terribly mean person but it's the result of his jealousy, his inability to listen to his own feelings and stubbornness, rather than an intentional aim to emotionally deceive joe' across much better than the novel did with just two eps.
Tumblr media
so far in terms of changes, i also like how the comedic elements are in here but they're not dominating the tone of this series and balances well out with the drama/angst going on. i guess this can also be credited to the actors/production team because they've always promoted my stand-in as a '120% sweet, 200% bitter romance DRAMA' series so i did not go in with the expectations of so much light hearted moments
Tumblr media
it's not to say that there weren't comedic elements in the novel, as the infamous 'and they were both top' scene is an exact adaptation of their first meeting in the novel.
Tumblr media
but being an adaptation, not to mention being a thai one nonetheless, my stand-in does well incorporating its way of doing humor into the original work seemlessly. joe's mood swings (affected by ming) were presented PERFECTLY through his three training session with his juniors. i feel like this is the kind of humor that could only be achieved through series/tv format as opposed to novel zhou xiang whose mood swings affected his acting work.
Tumblr media
on my beloved sol aka novel lan xi rong, i actually really like that they made him a former stunt actor as well and us getting to see porsche tanathorn doing all this action sequence (yes go yyds, rig your actor some of that screentime). but i thought it was very similar though, the reason for rejecting joe and his realization that joe was the only kind hearted genuine guy he's ever met once he's actually 'been in the industry'. i sure hope they don't characterize sol like how they did novel!lan xi rong 'i'm only gay for you'. give this man his own LOVE INTEREST (i'm actually betting my whole wallet on a brand new yim/sol loveline. i see it happening. it would not be a thai bl without at least one other side bl couple).
Tumblr media
all that being said, my only worry is that i feel like they've already adapted so much of the novel within 2 eps and thai bl adaptations have a tendency to diverge greatly from the original source material. so i have worries for the possible new subplots they might add into this series.
Tumblr media
tldr: i love my stand-in so much right now as a novel reader but i hate how i can't figure out what they're going to add in future eps ಥ_ಥ

Hello, can you speak about episodes 7 and 8 of Tsurune S2, always enjoy reading your thoughts on the episodes, and thanks so much for sharing them!!
I've talked about episode 7 in a previous ask, so I'm gonna leave my impressions of episode 8 here. As a bonus, I'm also gonna talk about episodes 9 and 10, as an apology for taking so long to answer this ask. ;v;
I'm gonna start with the positive points, just like I did with episode 7, because there's so much goodness in this one. I love the first scenes so much. Sen and Man's morning practice with Shuu, Kazemai and the twins finding out that Ryouhei and Shuu are now friends, Daigo and Nanao bonding, the girls getting excited at Kirisaki's high school campus, Minato being a bow nerd... so wholesome.
But my favorite part has to be that moment where Kaito thinks the Kirisaki girls are about to approach Nanao and tries to block them out... except they go talk to Rika instead. That was so fucking funny. And so in-character too. Plus Seiya noticing the whole thing and giving Kaito a follow-up? Nice touch. He 100% would.
I love that we see more of the Kirisaki team in this episode. We barely get to see Hiroki and Daigo, so it was nice to have them interact in this one. I still think we have a major lack of them and the twins in this season, though, but given the direction that the anime is going, it can't be helped.
I like that we finally got the whole flashback where Minato learns about Eisuke's original shooting style and Eisuke learns about Minato being Saionji's apprentice. It's fascinating how much character study you can do in that one scene, especially the way Eisuke goes from flattered to straight-up hostile in a matter of seconds with a single piece of information. He's being nothing but sarcastic and petty when he says it's incredible that Minato was accepted as apprentice, but Minato (being Minato) doesn't take notice of it.
The joint practice was great and highlighted in very subtle ways why Manji should return to the team. Kaoru and Umetarou getting to have a role in that kind of warmed my heart. Also, the scene in the dorm. Just fantastic. The way we got to see everyone's rooms and the difference in size between the rooms of the first and second-years in comparison to the third-years'. Daigo's Noririn shrine. The crest of the dorm being purple irises. The nod to the novel during the takoyaki party time. Heart eyes. Nothing but heart eyes.
All in all, this episode was really damn good. The only things that had me raising a brow at certain moments were stuff that I have already discussed before, such as Eisuke for some reason insisting that his team should win without help from anyone, not even their school itself (except this time he had to reluctantly give in and take budget money for a training camp). Or Minato being a little too innocent and not realizing, even now that he's in high school, just how openly resentful Eisuke is towards him.
That last one bothers me in particular, as it implies that Minato has no negative feelings towards Eisuke simply because he doesn't notice how shitty Eisuke is to him. Not only is Eisuke's hostility mostly internal, Minato is also unrealistically oblivious of Eisuke's words and actions. The anime even makes a point to change his first interaction with Minato and make it so that Eisuke approaches Shuu instead.
In the novel, Minato knows very well that Eisuke has a deep-seated grudge against him and Shuu, and both of them have been directly and indirectly offended by it in every interaction they have with him, yet Minato chooses to be nice to Eisuke regardless. It takes Minato a while to get rid of his innitial resentment towards Eisuke, but he does, and he does it consciously. He acknowledges that Eisuke is mean as hell and doesn't make up any excuses to justify why he's liket that (because, let's be honest, this is what we'd get in any other sports series). Yet he still decides to be good, not because he's naïve, but because he has matured. That's the difference. Novel!Minato sees Eisuke for what he is and accepts it. He takes in the bad things Eisuke has said and done and forgives them. Rather, I'd say he makes them null. Not because Eisuke had a reason to be like that (nothing justifies it), but because Minato is quite literally above it all. It had irritated him at first, but after he went through a certain amount of enlightenment, it just stopped mattering. That's Zen and that's what his character is about.
The anime seems to think Minato is pure simply because he's clueless. To be fair, he's clueless about a lot of things, but he learns. And then he picks the right path, sometimes consciously, sometimes subconsciously. It all depends on what the situation calls for, and in this case, it was calling for a conscious choice.
Now for episode 9.
Another wholesome one, though not as much, as there was some friction going on. It's funny that the friction was one-sided on Eisuke's part, though.
Again, this episode doesn't have negative points aside from what I've already mentioned a lot before. I like that the anime also took some time to make Kazemai and Tsujimine bond a little. It was refreshing and cute. I think, if the author had more space within the page count of each volume, she might've included something like this in the story.
Speaking of bonding, gotta love that the show is finally giving us proper interaction between Seiya and Kaito, especially Seiya fucking around, but it's hilarious to me that it was done in the most non-gay manner possible. The scene where Seiya doesn't wear his spare glasses on purpose just to get Kaito to do things for him is the finest example of that. In canon, Seiya makes it very clear that he's pissed and wants Kaito to make up for breaking his glasses, and Kaito responds to his demands without question because he feels genuinely sorry and wants to be forgiven. After all, he broke Seiya's glasses by accident in the novel when Seiya tried to stop him from breaking Eisuke's whole face, so Seiya is twice as angry and Kaito is twice as guilty. And of course, the anime didn't show what happens after that. Nor did it show Seiya's implied jealousy of Nanao, his prank on Kaito during the night or him cleaning up Kaito's face the next day.
The anime is also insisting on Eisuke's don't-wanna-own-anyone-anything attitude without explaining why exactly he is like this. It's getting a little tiring to see that in every single episode and not be given a concrete reason for it. We got an explanation as to why he's so hellbent on winning against Shuu and Minato, all right, but why the insistence in not relying on anyone? The only thing I can think of is that anime seems to be trying to sell him as a tsundere. They keep trying so hard to make him cute and likable and don't see that it makes his character kind of confusing. He's so determined to win, yet he keeps nitpicking his methods only when it comes to relying on adults and on using money. Even money from the school and club budget, which he 100% has the right to use as a student. He wouldn't be owning anyone anything for that, since his family is literally paying for him to go to school in the first place. Make it make sense, KyoAni.
Also, I really like that the anime decided to give us more details on his relationship with Shigeru, but did they have to add that scene where Eisuke is rude as fuck to him? That one made me cringe big time. I don't know how it got translated in the subs or dub but I don't like that dialogue. Nope. Not cool.
Especially not cool when it's followed by, you guessed it, Masaki and Eisuke's exchange at the beach. It's a very different interaction from what we got in the novel and seems to have been framed in order to favor Eisuke and how amazing he is. In the novel, they have a talk during practice, prompted by Eisuke's willingness to do anything in order to get a hit. He's basically doing yumiate, which isn't the point of kyudo, so Masaki approaches him discreetly and lectures him in the nicest, most indirect way possible, AKA the Zen way. But in the anime, Zen is out the window. Masaki and Eisuke even boast about their school getting stronger and being the one that will crush the other's team, and I can understand Eisuke having that kind of beginner mindset because he's just a teenager, but Masaki? Hello??? Winning isn't the goal. Even having a goal isn't the goal. Kyudo isn't a sport. That's literally the first thing about it and KyoAni forgot. They got so caught up in trying to show off that they completely slipped up in this one. I'm crying blood. They 100% don't realize this was a fail.
Other than that, this scene is all about praising Eisuke, and his only flaw is that he doesn't take it to heart due to his trust issues. Like. At this point, it just feels like we're being force-fed the same information over and over again because Eisuke just keeps getting so much attention, way beyond what seems necessary, while Kirisaki is relegated to the sidelines with Shuu being the only exception (but even he isn't getting as much attention as in the books). It's a little bit too obvious by now that KyoAni is trying to invest in Eisuke as their trumpcard to attract a bigger audience for this season. They're doing with him the same thing they did with Seiya in S1, changing his whole character in a desperate attempt to make him endearing and seem desperate to make the fans like him (as well as Koushirou, by extension). They also have to fill up the extra time they get from trying to get rid of any actually gay content, so they're giving us excessive amounts of him, while simultaneously managing not to expose what truly matters.
I mean, I don't know who else noticed this, but after getting this far into the story and having so much Eisuke content shoved down our throats in every episode, we haven't been presented to a lot of basic things about him. For example, the fact he has photosensibility and that's why he wears a hoodie all the time. Or his claustrophobia. Or his mental and emotional instability. Those are all things that make him relatable, but they're not cute, so there doesn't seem to be much interest in showing that part of him. So yeah, it's not really about Eisuke, it's about how KyoAni can use him as a tool to get viewers hooked while simultaneously buying time.
This trend continues into episode 10, where we begin with a flashback of how Eisuke joined Tsujimine's kyudo club. Eisuke is portrayed as the guy who brought the members of the club together and is leading them single-handedly to the nationals like some messiah. The novel scene where he tries to cheat during practice half-assedly makes it to this episode, with Touma making the mistake instead of Eisuke (for no reason other than not knowing any better) and Eisuke deciding to cover it up instead of doing it himself. Once again, Eisuke is doing something wrong, it's watered down to make him look good even when it's not a good look.
At long last, Minato finally finds out that Eisuke basically sees him and Shuu as enemies on a personal level. Not because he realized it but because Koushirou decided to spill the beans. And yet it doesn't seem to affect him much. In the end, he manages to know and stay clueless at the same time, so there's no need for him to make an effort to process and accept Eisuke and his resentment.
On the topic of Koushirou, he's as out of character as can be, but I like his description of what goes on in his mind when he draws the bow. The Heike reference was great. An awesome nod to how old kyudo is and how much it permeates Japanese culture. Chuunibyou as fuck, but good.
And then there's Masaki and Eisuke's convo at the baths. Nice visual language where Eisuke is in the smaller bath in comparison to Masaki, which highlights that Masaki is more experient, more mature and more knowledgeable, therefore more skilled. The content of the conversation is also good. The only problem is that the anime is getting closer to a territory that I'm not sure it wants to go, which is to present Masaki as an excellent coach only when he's lecturing someone from a different team. When he's teaching Kazemai, he's portrayed a fine mentor, but his real worth only ever seems to be revealed when he's before either Kirisaki or Tsujimine. That's where he truly stands out. Easy to tell that it's because those moments are mostly shown through Minato's perspective in the books, with him either admiring Masaki or longing for him all the while, and KyoAni is having none of that gay shit. But by trying so hard to keep Minato and Masaki five feet apart like two bros sitting in a bathtub, they accidentally make Masaki a better teacher when he's helping out or making demonstrations to rival teams.
I'm losing my mind because, holy crap, what have we come to? Masaki is literally having a bonding moment with Eisuke out of all people before having any bonding moment with Minato this entire season aside from that one scene at Yata Shrine, if you can call that a bonding moment at all. KyoAni has managed to make them barely give a fuck about each other in the span of 10 episodes. Actually, screw that; it managed to give them nothing to care about regarding each other aside from club-related stuff, since KyoAni has rid the anime of anything these two could bond over to begin with. Masaki didn't get his scar saving Minato's life, Minato's hand injury was never a thing, their fight never happened and so neither did their make-up, we never get to see what Minato is thinking outside of the dojo, Masaki's background is never touched upon again aside from archery-related facts, Minato didn't get sick so no hospital scene, etc. The list is endless. They've been stripped bare of any reason to care about each other on a personal level, so they just... don't.
As a result, at least to me, it feels like they barely exist within the story. I feel like I've hardly seen them at all this whole time, even though they were always there. I've learned nothing about them even though we've been shown a lot of stuff about Minato, because almost none of it was his emotions or the inner machinations of his mind. It was mostly just facts. This is probably the most fatal mistake that Yamamura Takuya made in S1, and he's repeating it in S2: he seems to have no interest in Minato as a protagonist.
This anime almost feels like an experiment to prove that Minato and Masaki are so deeply connected to each other as characters that when you take Masaki out of the equation, Minato is almost empty. Nearly every bit of personal information regarding Minato is related to Masaki one way or another, and Minato is usually the readers' gateway to getting to know Masaki. So when KyoAni insists on keeping them away from each other, the result is that they lose a lot of their essence and the story is left with holes in it, which KyoAni tried to fill up with Seiya in the previous season, and now they're using Eisuke for it. In short, Minato is being pushed to the background in the story he was supposed to be leading as the main character while secondary characters are used as a disposable means to draw the audience in because the director apparently can't bring himself to give two shits about him.
And, like, some people will enjoy this season and some won't, but regardless of opinions, this approach is objectively a fail on KyoAni's part. Whether the anime is good or not on its own is up for debate, but as for whether it's a good adaptation or not, I think we can all agree by now that no, it isn't. Not even because it's not faithful to the original, but because it keeps committing these narrative suicides. The plot doesn't care much for its own protagonist and tries to seek depth by latching onto a specific character. Minato is basically becoming a secondary character in his own story.
I think episode 10 did a great job on showcasing that, even though it obviously wasn't the intention. Especially the latter half of it, from the moment Minato and Eisuke get stuck in the elevator. In the novel, this scene was about both of them, but mostly about Minato. In the anime, it's entirely about Eisuke. Minato is literally used as a vessel for more of Eisuke's backstory to be revealed. We don't get Eisuke hyperventilating and Minato helping him stay grounded because he's had the same experience after the car accident that took his mother's life. Instead, we get Eisuke receiving a call from his aunt about Shigeru being hospitalized for the nth time and Eisuke freaking out. We don't get Minato collapsing with a fever from the emotional batter and Masaki taking him to the hospital, which leads to a heart-to-heart and Minato getting the necessary strength to overcome the hurdle. Instead, we get Minato and Masaki taking Eisuke to see Shigeru, and the whole thing is about how Eisuke feels and how helpful they were to him. This ordeal was originally Minato-centric in the books, yet KyoAni does everything in its power to make it be about Eisuke instead, because the original content is too inexcusably gay for the screen.
Which brings us to the last scene of this episode before the credits roll: the car scene. The only thing it has in common with its novel counterpart is that it's a scene where Minato and Masaki are having a conversation in Masaki's car at night in the middle of nowhere. I do like that it added a reference to volume 1, because we completely missed Minato's inner monologue during the last match in S1. But that's about it. We didn't get anything else.
And then the credits roll, and we end this episode with Minato promising that Kazemai will defeat Tsujimine. Again, the whole point of kyudo goes way over KyoAni's head. So does the point of Minato as a character. Minato isn't my favorite character, but I almost feel bad for him. I wish someone in this production team would bother to make him the protagonist aside from when the tournaments are going on.

The Dizleys Chapter 1: Meet  Roy and Cas Dizley
Cas walks in on Roy, sitting by the piano, hair disheveled, eyes burning with passion, one shoe kicked up on the piano bench, furiously writing, rapidly thinking. 
She chuckled to herself. Her husband, the brilliant billionaire Roy Dizley, owner of the largest entertainment company in the world, artistic genius, hopeless romantic, was no less than three seconds away from throwing his pen across the room and hiding in his office for a few hours until he figured out the song. 
“Roy you’re going to give yourself a hernia.” The words barely registered to Roy as his arms wandered up and down the keyboard, as if they were praying for some sort of inspiration. 
Cas walked over over to Roy,  and gently wrapped her arms around his chest. “Oh hey baby. How long have you been there?”, he asks, grabbing her hand with his while the other still wandered around the bass notes of his piano. “Long enough to see that this ain’t happening tonight babe.” Roy laughed in an amused sense, his eyes still focused on the uncooperative ivory and black keys. “It’s so easy for you. You solve problems that actually have answers, Cas.” 
Cas laughed at the thought. She’d just finished the schematics for the newest roller coaster at their company’s amusement park in Texas. “Hey, what happened to our no negging after 9 PM rule?” Roy laughed at looked up at Cas for the first time during this conversation. “How do I do it Cas? How do I write a song that perfectly memorializes my Dad? How do I find the strength to go to that vulnerable place where I can really say something poignant and important about father-son relationships?” 
“I don’t know babe. Maybe make a pros and cons list of all the things you loved and hated about your Dad. Or maybe even a simple Liket scale and then run a logistic regression and-” STOP.  Oh my God you are such a freaking nerd and I just. Ya know I really really love you. Who else on the planet would suggest a logit regression for writing a freaking ballad at the end of a musical.” 
“Oh I just thought-” “You’re always thinking. that beautiful mind of yours. The one that builds the world we live in. Its great. You’re great.” “You know you gave me the ring like 20 years ago. I’m already yours. No need to butter me up now.” “I’d like to butter you up real good,” Roy closes the piano and moves mischievously towards his wife. “I don't know what’s weirder, you suggesting a mathematical formula for a love song, or me being turned on by it.”
 “Does this mean you’re coming to bed?” “Oh yes. Very quickly.” He grabs Cas’s hand and pulls her in for a deep kiss. As he guided her into their luxurious master bedroom, he glances back at the piano and thinks to himself “Dad can wait. He had no trouble making me wait after all. In fact, that was kind of his speciality.”

Tumblr media
Taehyung and Jungkook rented an apartment far near the coastal areas for the a week since they had the whole month off, with no schedule. The previous months before were well loaded, with constant performances and interviews and they just wanted to kick off and relax and just enjoy some tranquility. Initially it would have been with all the members but they thought it would be safer to not bring everyone since it can result in some unwanted scenarios. The other members also went to different places with Jin and Namjoon to a private Island and the rest to a rich friend's mansion, very far from the tumult of the city. Though separated, they all had one thing in common, doing what they can't do anymore because of how popular they were and busy they got. It was nearly eleven and they both got back from a luxurious restaurant and they would have arrived later if they were heading to a club to indulge in alcohol and have private lap dances but this time they had their own slut to use, who was waiting for them in the apartment.
You were a fan of them and mostly loved Jungkook and Taehyung and when you captivated the eyes of Taehyung during one of their concert, Taehyung asked one of the guards to bring you discreetly so he could meet you. Soon enough you were talking backstage and you couldn't keep your body from shaking from the nervosity and almost believed you were going to be banned from concerts for whatever reasons. "I swear, I didn't do anything, I didn't even bring my phone with me to take pictures or what not", you uttered in front of a smiling Taehyung who placed his still veiny hands from on your arm and replied, "Haha, you are so cute, do not worry you did nothing wrong, maybe only having my attention the whole time when I was on stage." When you heard that your heartbeat accelerated, and he then sighed, "How am I supposed to give you my number without your phone with you, pretty girl."
And that was it, the last amount of strength you had to keep you from mentally screaming, evaporating and your mind just, "What the fuck did I just hear, have I actually been knocked out by the guard that brought me here, is the man of my fucking dreams asking me out, ...!? wait does that mean I have to wipe out all information about me and start a brand new celebrity life, am I ready for this, I thought I was prepared but oh god, this is so sudden....", you stopped yourself from thinking when you heard a faint cough from the side and you wished you didn't turn your head to the direction when the Jeon Jeongguk made his way near his brother, all sweaty, veins very apparent and smirk on his face. "So I see I wasn't the only one to have been distracted by her the whole time I was performing", Jungkook said with a flirty tone and Taehyung smirked back at him then to you, and then replied with what could be the equivalent to the final blow to elimate the final boss in a game, "Her face and body just calls you and compels you to savour each moment your eyes lay on her", "My thoughts exactly hyung", Jk added.
___________________________________________
You were in a dream state for real cause how is this happening right now!? The two hottest man in the world and the ones behind your fantasies right there in front of you, talking to you and potentially wanting to date you? or was it just going to stop there, though you hoped it didn't since not only was your blood rushing so fast but the heat that formed in your core was clouding your thoughts and the desire to bring your fantasies to life was becoming harder to repel. "So if I understand, you both are in love with me," you said teasingly knowing well how they would react and you just wanted to hear that for some reason. "Love? Isn't it too fast princess, I don't even know your name yet and also I can only start considering after I get a taste of those lips" Taehyung said while Jungkook grinned knowing well what Taehyung was trying to do and he wouldn't want to miss that too. You would've have been taken aback if you weren't already thinking of both of them railing you against the wall of their company and without thinking too much of it, "Well if my first kiss will have to be with master Kim Taehyung, I can only comply, unless master Jeon might want to do it first" you said moving your eyes onto Jungkook who was loving everything that was going down right now.
Taehyung loved it too, he was going to fuck you but not with his eyes like he did while on stage. He loved how you teased them back, called him Master!? and he would be your first kiss!? unless Jungkook gets it first, which he wouldn't let happen since he was the one who brought you here and began all of this. Both him and Jungkook's bulge were being obviously apparent from their their pants and you noticed that and you could only internally scream, " Omg, it's actually going to happen!". The thought of both of them fucking you in all your holes, when they bring you back at the company or maybe in one of their houses? all sweaty and roughly pounding you and dumping several loads in you made you soaking wet however before that one last step of having them inside you, a staff came and urged the boys to come back. Though, it made you think and even realise that obviously they couldn't just make it happen liket that, unless they could? but now you felt you eyes starting to get wet as you thought that all of this would end. "Were they just playing? was it just some teasing and flirting and nothing more? Am I not going to have them inside of me?" Taehyung who sensed that you were starting to doubt got closer to you while Jungkook stayed behind. His hand held your wrists and he slowly came near your ears to whisper, "Do not worry, we will meet again, you just have to remember my number unless your mind would be to busy thinking of my cock." He then whispered his number slowly, the air coming from his lips tickling your ears softly and you could've have sworn you felt like he was fucking you from how intense all of this was, how close he was too you, how his breath traveled around your collarbone and his hands gripping your wrists.
He lifted his head and looked back at you with his adoring smile, which actually calmed you down and made you trust him and that you will see him and possibly Jungkook too again. "I sincerely hope I can see you again and up until then I would not stop thinking about you", he told you and Jungkook added, "Try to keep those lips for us until we see you again, baby."
Taehyung chuckled and you smiled back at them and you then you said jokingly, "Well I'm going to another concert in two days, so.... Idk what crazy thing is going to happen this time around", knowing very well you had no conceet to attend or whatsoever. They both happily smiled back at you guessing that you were teasing them again which made the anticpation to meet you even more intense and you couldn't help but let out a laugh, which they joined. They said goodbye to you and looked at you with gleaming smiles and with eyes that said, "See you soon" as you disappeared from their view.
___________________________________________
"Oh look at our baby, so impatient for her daddy's cock", Taehyung said with his deep voice that made your heat rise instantly. Jungkook and Taehyung got close to your naked body, kneeling on the long sofa and looked down at you with their piercing and lustful eyes. You couldn't believe it, it was really the start of a whole week of being the slut of these two hot men and the idea itself was enough inundate your veins with this erotic poison.
Taehyung: "Take off my pants and have my cock in your mouth baby, it's all yours."
You didn't hesitate to proceed and you unzipped his pants and pulled it down together with his gucci boxers. His was massive and already stained his boxers his pre-cum. You licked his whole length from the base to the tip with a slow tantalising motion, making you to keep your eyes fixed onto Taehyung's. Jungkook has already removed all of his clothes and was sitting next to your pretty figure.
Taehyung: "Come on baby, show me how you much you want this more than any candy,"
You nodded sheepishly and wrapped your lips around the head of his cock as you took all of it till it reach the back of your throat. Your gagging sound, didn't skip Taehyung as he groaned with his hips travelling back and forth into your warm entry, trammelling your breath.
Taehyung: "You love that hmmm? Pleasure your daddy's cock at the expense of your own comfort."
You removed his dick from your mouth as you nodded to him but he placed both of his hands at the back of your head as he penetrated your mouth and began bucking into your throat.
"I didn't say that you could take your mouth off now did I!?" Taehyung confronted.
Jungkook placed his hand onto your slit and began rubbing your sensitive area with a soft motion that made you wetter each second. You shifted and now you were enclosing Jungkook's dick inside your mouth. He hissed in satisfaction and began thrusting upwards into your mouth causing your eyes to water. Taehyung was behind your rounded butt and had his tongue work throughout your slit. He was so good at it, eating you like his favourite dessert. Before he could release into your mouth, Jungkook lifted you up by the hair, freeing his dick from your lips and he stared at your eyes for a few seconds. "Babe, you really love this cock of mine, hmmm, a little more and I would've you swallow my seeds. Taehyung it's time to make her go for a ride."
They were seated in opposite directions with their cocks aligning next to each other as you descended. You opened up nicely for them, welcoming their throbbing dicks inside your walls.
Jungkook: "Oh baby...., you are taking us so well."
Taehyung: "Mmmm yeah...., so wet and soft. You're gliding up and down so easily... fuck..."
The conjoined moans of the two men was the ideal music that made every motion of your hips more and more pleasurable. You couldn't hold it any longer and you came onto their dicks still inside on you. They both groaned louder when your walls tightened around them.
Jungkook: "Fuck..! That felt so good just now."
Taehyung: "Come on baby, be a good girl and make us cum inside of you."
Your bounced onto them a little faster, taking them as deep as you could until you felt their cocks shoot ropes of cum inside of you, filling you immensely that it was dripping out already.
You continued riding them for a few more seconds before sliding out and then got onto your knees on the floor. They both sat up on the couch and you went to suck Taehyung's cock slowly while jerking Jungkook's cock at the same pace.
Jungkook: "She was so good, right hyung..?"
Taehyung: "Yeahhh.... let's see if she can take us both in her other hole...", he replied lazily since you were sucking on his whole length still sensitive from the fuck you've just had.

Hello to all!
I've been sick as hell for a week, and finaly started to feel a bit better today.
So, finaly got the strenght to post new part of the story.
Wish you all a good week, take care and stay healthy! :)
CALL OF THE RAVEN
PART 24
„'Morning.“ I said smiling, peeping from under the covers. Jake tured to me from his laptop „Good morning, angel.“ He said smiling back. „Did you sleep well?“ „I did.“ I said, getting up and stretching. „I actually don't remember the last time I slept so well.“ He grinned „Good.“ I looked arround the room, the absence of my favourite scent leaving me confused. „No coffee?“ I asked, and he looked serious at me „No, I'm affraid.“ „Oh.“ I said disappointed, draging my feet towards the bathroom, mumbling curses under my breath. I was at the doors when he said „I actually thought we could go to town for coffee.“ I turned to him surprised „You did?“ „Mhm.“ He said „It's a nice morning, would be a shame to spend it inside.“ He grinned, and I looked at him inquirely, leaning on the doorframe and crossing my arms „Really?“ „Yes.“ He said and I raised my brow at him „And that's the only reason?“ He laughed shaking his head „All right, you caught me. I do have an ulterior motive for it.“ „Yeah, I figured that out already.“ I said and grinned „All right, so out with it.“ Now he grinned „Patience, angel.“ I laughed „Are we playing that game again?“ „We are, and we both know who will win.“ He said and grinned even more „Again.“ I chuckled shaking my head. „Fine. But just so you know, one day I will find out how to break your winning streak.“ I said to him all serious. „Is that a threat?“ he asked teasingly. „No“ I said, detaching from the doorframe , mischievous smile on my face „It's a promise. And I always keep my promises.“
„Better now?“ Jake asked looking at me with a raised eyebrow, as I took a big sip of my coffee sighing happily. „Better now.“ I hummed cheerfuly back at him. He chuckled leaning back in the chair. „You know, I wonder what would happen if you'd go a day without coffee.“ „Oh, god, don't.“ I said and shuddered at the though of it „That would definitely NOT be a good day.“ He laughed hard at it. „Well then, I'll let you enjoy the rest of your coffee in peace.“ He said getting up. „Right, the 'ulterior motive'.“ I said grinning at him. He smiled and leaned to me for a kiss. „I wont be long.“ „Don't worry, you're leaving me in a good company.“ I said taking another big sip of coffee and grinning at him, and he shook his head at me as he walked away. With him gone, I took my phone out to check some things online, enjoying my coffee and the warmth of the sun. I was casually scrolling through some pictures slouched in the chair, when someone blocked the sun from me. I looked up annoyed by it, and was surprised at seeing the person in front of me. „Hello, Maya.“ I straightened in my chair. The bruise on his face was still a bit visible. „Hello, Phil.“ I said with indifferent voice. „You're still pissed at me, I see.“ He said and I looked at him rising my eyebrow. „You think?“ „All right, I deserve that.“ He said. „Can I join you?“ „Not sure that's a good idea“ I said „Jake will be back shortly, and I doubt he would be thrilled at seeing you.“ „You know what? I don't care.“ He said pulling the chair and sitting across from me. „Suit yourself.“ I said leaning back in mine. „So, how are you?“ he asked lighting up a cigarette. „Really, Phil?“ I asked sarcastically „Small talk?“ He sighed desperatly, exhaling the cigarette smoke „Damn it, Maya, cut me some slack here.“ „You're kidding me, right?“ I asked surprised „After what you did, you expect me to go easy on you?“ „Hey, I was the one who ended up on the floor, so yes.“ He said and grinned. I shook my head and rolled my eyes at him. „And I am trying to apologise here.“ „It's not just me that you need to apologise to, Phil.“ I said. „I know that.“ He started „But with you first, I have a less chance of ending up with a new bruise.“ „Oh, I wouldn't be so confident about it if I was you.“ I said with a smirk. He laughed „ I knew I wasn't wrong about you.“ „What's that supposed to mean?“ I asked a bit defensively. „Relax, gorgeous.“ He said, and I looked at him warningly. „Sorry, old habbits.“ He said and grinned. „All right, Phil“ I said a bit annoyed „So far, all that I heard from you didn't sound remotely close to an apology.“ „Jesus, you really are a tough cookie.“ He said, putting out his cigarette in the ashtray a bit harshly. He looked back at me „I am sorry for what happened.“ He said, and I waited a little for him to continue, but he said nothing. „That's it?“ I asked surprised. „This has to be the lousiest apology I have ever heard.“ „Damn it, Maya, what do you want from me?“ he said, his voice starting to sound insecure. He took out another cigarette, lighting it up. „Well, a bit more then a simple 'sorry' was what I expected, to be honest.“ I said. He shook his head at me „You really can't comprehend it, can you?“ Now I got confused „What are you talking about?“ „You think this is easy for me?“ he said almost hissing it. „I was really into you, Maya, and I guess I still am. Belive me, I tried to move on, but dam it, you are not easy to let go off.“ I held my breath a this words. „And then the two of you parade in front of my eyes all happy and shit, and you expect me to just be ok with it?“ I didn't know if he wanted me to answer, but I could't say a word, feeling a knot in my throath. He laughed then „It's funny, you know“ he said „I always laughed at guys like that, thought of them as weak, whining about a girl that got away.“ He looked me in the eyes, his own with a sad touch in them, my heart squeezing at the sight of it. „How ignorant was I.“ I felt awful, his words hit hard at me. I never gave much thought of it all after we talked back then, when he assured me he
will be fine. But hearing all this from him now... „Phil“ I said softly, reaching for his hand, but he pulled it away before I had a chance to do it „Don't.“ He said sighing „And don't look at me liket that, please.“ „I'm sorry, Phil.“ I said and he laughed surprised „You are apologising to me now?“ „Yes“ I said „I had no clue how this all might be for you, I never wanted for any of this to happen. I really am sorry I made you feel this way.“ „Excellent, now I fell like even a bigger wimp.“ He said defeated. „Don't say that“ I said, reaching for his hand again, and this time he didn't pull it away. He looked at me. „I don't find you weak, or think of you being a wimp. It takes a lot of courage to admit what you just did to me.“ I said and squeezed his hand tight. He shook his head at me „You are really not making it any easier for me like this.“ I smiled awkwardly at him, moving my hand away „Sorry.“ I said, not knowing what more to say. I slouched sadly in my chair. „Don't worry, gorgeous.“ He siad and I looked at him. „I'll be fine, eventually.“ I smiled „I'm sure you will, Phil.“ „So“ he started, clearing his throath „Are we good now?“ „We are, as far as I'm concerned.“ I said and smiled. „Excellent!“ he said and grinned. He chuckled „Huh, I guess the hard part is done now.“ I chuckled back, but he got serious then, straightening in his chair. „Or was it?“ he said, and I looked confused at him, when I felt an arm on my shoulder „Everything all right here?“ I looked up, Jake staring intensly at Phil. I saw tension in his jawline, so I quickly covered his hand with mine „Everything is fine.“ He looked at me and I smiled reassuringly. „If you say so.“ He said, sitting down next to me, turning his look back to Phil. „So, to what do we owe the pleasure of your company?“ Jake asked him witha a bit of a menacing tone, taking my hand in his. Phil looked at Jake, a mixture of emotions on his face, and I felt a squeez at my heart again, so I quickly said „Phil was actually apologising for what happened.“ He looked at me, his eyes grateful for not making him say the words himself to Jake, and i smiled. „And I accepted his apology, from us both.“ I said, and Jake turned to me rising his eyebrow „Really?“ „Yes, really. I knew you would agree with me eitherway.“ I said, flashing him with the most charming smile I could make, knowing he wont be able to contradict me. „Don't tell me I was wrong?“ i said making a bit sad face, and he smiled at me „No, angel, you wer not.“ I smiled back at him, turning to Phil „Great, so that's settled then. Let bygones be bygones?“ I grinned, looking from Phil to Jake, until both reluclantly mumbled under their breaths something that sounded like 'fine' and 'sure'. „All right“ Phil said after a moment getting up „I'll be off now.“ Jake said nothing but I smiled at him „Take care, Phil. See you arround.“ He smiled back „ See you arround.“ He made a few steps, when he turned and walked back. „I just want to tell you one more thing, loverboy.“ He said, nad I tensed. His tone wasnt friendly at all, and I felt Jake tensing too, squeezing my hand tighter. „You better take care of her really good.“ He said his voice threatening. „Because, if anything happens to her, you better run, and fast. Before I can get my hands on you.“ He looked at me and winked before turning around and walking away casually. I just stared speechless after him. „Did he...just threatened me?“ Jake asked surprised, his grip to my hand relaxing. „It did sound that way.“ I said serious, but I was laughing inside at it. „He is aware that I don't have to use any physical force to make his life miserable, right?“ he said, and I turned to him. He was grinning devilishly still staring after Phil. „What ever diabolical thoughts are crossing your mind at the moment, disperse them.“ I said. „I have no idea what you're talking about.“ He said turning to me, trying to sound ignorant. „Jake, I'm being serious here.“ I said warningly, looking at him crossly „Leave Phil alone.“ „Fine.“ He groaned after a moment. „But only because you asked so
'nicely'.“
„So, are you finally gonna tell me where you went earlier?“ I asked him as we walked back to the motel. He looked sideways at me „Hmm, I could keep you on edge for a while more.“ „Oh, you're just being evil now!“ I protested and he laughed. „All right, all right. You have been really patiente, so here.“ He said, reaching to his back pocket handing me an envelope. I slowed my steps opening the envelope, and stopped when I saw what was in it. He stopped after a few more steps turning to me, and I ran and jumped to hug him. „Thank you, thank you, thank you!“ He chuckled „You're welcome, angel.“ I moved from him grinning „Are you really gonna endure watching an almost two hours long 'chick' movie with me?“ „If it makes you happy, yes.“ He said and smiled. I gave him a quick kiss „Thank you for this, really.“ I said as we started walking again. „It's something a normal couple would do.“ He laughed „ We definitely don't fall under that category.“ He hugged me with one hand „But you know, I will get a bit jelous, with you dreamily staring at the screen at Chris Hemsworth, with me sitting right next to you.“ „Oh, you dont have to get jelous“ I said grinning at him „After all, you will be the one I'll be going home with after.“
„I'm bored.“ Jake groaned, throwing himself on the bed next to me, my drawing pad jumping from my lap from it. „I can see that.“ I chuckled at him, taking my headphones off. „I have a great idea how you can help me with that.“ He grinned, burrying his face to my neck, leaving soft kisses. „Oh, as much as I like where this is going“ I said, reluctantly pushing him away „But I really need to finish with this before we go to the cinema.“ „You can be so cruel sometimes.“ He said, dramaticaly throwing his head on the pillow. I laughed, reaching for my phone that started to ring. „Hey, Jessy.“ I answered. „Hey, Maya.“ She said „Hope I'm not bothering you.“ „Ofcourse not, what's up?“ I asked. „Well, I'm actually calling to see if Jake is with you.“ she said, and I turned to look at him „He is.“ I said, and he looked confused at me. „Great. Is he bussy at the moment?“ she asked, and I grinned at him „Nop, he's not bussy at all.“ He made a face at me, and I chuckled silently. „What's happening, Jessy?“ „Oh, the end of the world is happening!“ she exclimed desperatly. „All right, calm down and explain.“ I said to her, trying not to laugh, knowing how Jessy can be overdramatic sometimes. „Calm down?!“ she boomed form the other side „I can't, Maya! I need some important things from my laptop for tomorrow for work, and it just started to act weird on me a minute ago! I can't do anything on it, I'm desperate.“ „Oh, thats not good, indeed.“ I said symphathetically. „Would you like me to send Jake over to take a look at it?“ „That would be great.“ She said hopefully „He really wouldn't mind coming?“ „Ofcourse not, Jessy.“ I said „He is bored, and I do have some work to do, so you are actually doing me a favore with draging him out of here.“ I grinned again at him, and he threw a pillow at me. „Yay, thank you so much!“ she said cheerfully „Tell him he can come over whenever he feels like it.“ „No worries, Jessy. He will be there shortly.“ „Thank you again, Maya. Talk to you soon.“ „Bye, Jessy.“ I putted the phone away, turning back to him grinning again. „There, now you have something to do.“ „Yeah, yeah.“ He said, getting up from the bed. „I get the hint.“ „Awww, dont be sulky.“ I said teasingly, coming to him, putting my hands arround his neck. „I'm almost done with my work, so if you finish fast with Jessys laptop, we might still have time for some fun before we have to go.“ He smiled mischievous at me „Oh, you just gave me a motivation to be fast with it.“ „Good“ I said kissing him. „Now, off you go, I'll be right here waiting eagerly.“
I was done with work after Jake left sooner then I expected, so I decided to take a quick shower. When done, I got dressed and I took my laptop sitting at the desk, finding some entertainment online to pass the time. My phone beeped with a new message, so I took it and smiled as I opened the chat.
Jake: Almost done here
Maya: That was really fast :P
Jake: You did gave me a motivation for it :P
Maya: And you weren't kidding about it :D
Jake: I never joke when that's in question ;)
Maya: Haha, I'll keep that in mind :)
Jake: See you soon, angel :)
Maya: Can't wait :)
The movie doesn't start before 9pm, and it was not even 7pm yet, so we still had plenty of time. I continued to browse stuff online, finding an interesting documentary to watch. I got so into it, when a knock at the door surprised me, making me jump in the chair. I turned to the doors, shaking my head at the sight of the keys sticking from the lock. I closed the laptop and got up, walking to the doors with a smile. I opened the doors grinning, ready with a witty comment on the subject of forgetfulness, the grin from my face dissapearing as i saw the person standing in front of me was not Jake. „Good evening, Miss Cole.“ I stared at the face of the unknow man, and the feeling of dread started to crawl at me. As I continued to look at thim, I thought there was something familiar about him to me, but i couldn't quite realize what. „I'm sorry“ I said, trying to hide the fear from my voice „Do I know you?“ „Not really.“ the man said, as the sinister smile formed on his lips. „But I tought the time has come for me to properly introduce myself.“

glory/tave for 2, astrid/ash for 5, rhy/tave for 7? ♡
Birthday gifts for Glory and Tave (at this point almost all survivors got one gift from Glory. But tbh, I don't think she would gift Laure anything so that fits.)
Tave has extremely limited recources when it comes to gift giving, so he will either have to help someone get the item in question for him or he'll have to improvise. He still wants to gift something but also finds the idea of making something himself slightly embaracing. In the end he compiles some exercises for her, that fit the kind of body building she once described to him as something she would like to do. Glory appreciates it a lot. ^^ Glory knows that Tave can not really engage with the outside world, so she collects a scrapbook with the others. Everyone writes some words, some letters or descriptions of things he might find interesting, some recipies from Car, some pictures from Eve, Rhy has the lyrics of his entire new album in it, Acorn researches some poems and quotes he likes. Stuff liket that. They collect pictures and dried plants and tickets and anything Tave might find interesting to glue it all together in a journal. Tave is at first a bit confused by the gesture but it very quickly becomes one of his favorite things to look at as a bedtime ritual.
Ash and Astrid as roommates
Ash would insist on splitting the room in half because they need their space. Both of them are pretty tidy, but Astrid has a lot of plants and little trinkets, while Ash's place looks very barebone in comparison. There is like... one emo band poster that they literally stole from Jakob's wall because everyone complained that their room needs decorations. Also Astrid put some of those starlights on their ceiling. They also have a corner with blankets and cussions, that Astrid started and they now both share, if they need to be more cozy. All in all it's a pretty nice plays and they both enjoy their room.
Gushing between Tave and Rhy
Since Rhy is well... Rhy, he would call Tave "cute" and "adorable" if "a little silly at times". Tave will not be able to deal with it. And since Tave is Tave he will only insult Rhy the moment he talks about him and call him "a little shit" and "anyoning little guy". Rhy regretably takes this as a compliment, since... you know, it's exactly what Phillip would have said. If you would get one of them alone and honest for some reason, Rhy would say, that he likes how earnest Tave is. Tave would acknowledge that Rhy is "surprisingly clever".

Hi!
Me again, I think Permament have a one nsfw scene when I think about it... It's short and can be skipped, but if you are uncomfotable with something liket his I would totally get you don't won't to risk it. So I am letting you know. :)
here is cool story that doesn't have any nsfw moments, it's just kinda typical kidnapped Reid story. It's linked to Uncanney Valley so if anything in that episode triggers you it's a skip, but in this story is nothing graphic other than violence. Some mentions of incest and underage, but just like it was in Uncanney Valley. I don't think it's finished, but reading it I never noticed. So you can give it a try :)
here another really interesting one, but it's kinda anti-Hotch. I really like the oryginal portrayal of characters and still in the character. If you don't have anything against seeing a darker side of Hotch
here and this one I recomend more like a crack fic. It's funny story even if you read only two first chapter, if I remember correctly nothing big happens in the rest. But the first two are must read it's hilarious!
here it's a series of one shots or short stories that kinda are continuation of each other but can be read I separately. I kinda like it so I decided to drop it here. Tw for blood and depression but ends with a lot of fluff.
:)
Ah thank you! I’ll definitely start reading these when I have time

So today’s Legion issue was extra awful. Long rant under cut.
So firstly (not really, but the first part is just Brainy still being OOC as shit), we learn a little more about Monster Boy’s powers. Namely that he turns into pop culture monsters and that he can’t control it.
Tumblr media
We also learn that he’s not from Earth. But he turns into monsters from Terran pop culture. Or he’s a shapeshifter who just happens to turn into shapes that look like monsters in Terran pop culture, which is just as bad if not even worse.
The everyone starts to finish each others sentences and Jo gets bonked in the head despite seemingly not using any power that’s not invulnerability at the time.
Tumblr media
Gim seems to lose his legs in a tragic art accident.
Tumblr media
Then their HQ is hacked for a hot minute, but it’s alright because it only cuts them off from the others for four pages has no other consequences.
The new villain leader is introduced. He’s mad and maybe sarcastic but it doesn’t translate. His name is Tortor and based on that you’d think that he’s a sidekick in an anime or somethingt. Tortor-chan.
Tumblr media
And now it’s time for Bendis‘ other OC hero. He’s “of this galactic”, has “such an amazing story” and he’s going to save them all with his ill-defined powers that seem to include teleportation and transmutation (which according to the old Legion rules would disqualify him or Jan from the team). Gold is still not a distinct colour, this dude should be stuck between avarice and fear. He also disappears back into the ether after liket two pages.
Tumblr media
Is this supposed to be badass? Probably.
Tumblr media
Then Jon, who’s been a hero for all of like two years and stuck in space for like five, tells them that he thinks they’re doing a good job. He can tell because he’s a very experienced superhero. Imra takes this as an opportunity to strike a pose.
But then comes the absolute crescendo of this shit show. Brainy has spent the entire issue telling people that they can’t touch the tridant because it’ll be dangerous (though he doesn’t specify why or how), but Mon decides to ignore him and out comes all of the Earth’s oceans.
We never get to see how they handle the space pirates (they’re the villains in this issue but they’re mostly background fodder for various conversations save for one splash page) because the scene immediately moves to the UP’s headquarters. The character who’s wearing the mutilated corpse of Brande speaks like she’s on America’s Next Top Spider-Man (but, to be fair, so does everyone else). Jo’s dad is there too and is mad that the Legion fought off his pirate friends.
Tumblr media
Then we see that the oceans are back and the president declares that that means that the Legion have “done hope”?
Tumblr media
So not only has Brainy been wrong about the trident throughout the entire issue, meaning that he has once again fucked up something important, but the Legion also only managed to do something good because Mon was impatient and rash. Or Brainy was right and Mon was just incredibly lucky, which makes for shite storytelling.
Brainy hasn’t managed to do a single competent thing since this run started. He’s fucked up everything from the timing of their trip to the past to this thing with the trident. And the Legion have followed suit. This is their first “victory” and they got it on pure chance while Jon lauded them for being so good and competent.
In other words, this run is still a damn travesty. Bendis’ OCs are terrible and self congratulatory and his writing is incompetent.

Meta Knight HCs
I want in on the train that is Meta knight hcs. I’ve seen many of them and I found many that I like. So I thought why not make one of my own with some of my hcs about that swordman puffball. At least the ones I’ve got figured out.
Edit: Fixed, changed and added some new words. My pcs going to drive me mad one day. 18.02.20
-Meta Knight is a hybrid mix of two lower demonbeast and puffball race from one of NME’s many prototype side-projects that the evil wizared made in a 100 000 years period where the bastered thouht he had the upper hand. Meta was the only suviver from said project that gave him life.
-He was labed a defective product sortly after his ‘birth’ and was given minimun care from the start. With him being born smaller, weaker, with extremly poor eyesigth, poor health, too large wings for his body as well as clumsy, all of the NME’s best doctors did not see this one live very long.
-But Meta somehow survived the next 1759 years. While he was neither strong or quick as the others, his a quick learn and talented at hidding, stealth, escapeing and take stuff when no one was looking. It also helped that his is smarter and has better hearing than his ‘siblings’.
-His naturly born stuborn, headstrong and with a strong will. Before the project was sett to go NME made sure that this traits was part of the deal. If only he knew that the end of that deal would come bite him in the ass 25 000 pluss years later.
-When Meta first meet Sir Arthur was when the lab that was his home and housed some of NME’s best monster, was surpriesed attacked by the GSA. Throughout the attack Meta was utterly terrifeid to death and did his danmest to avoid any thing that try to hurt him whether it be from demonbeast or attacks from the GSA soilders that went amiss.
-Arthur ended up finding Meta deep in the lab hiding in a narrow crack behind two bookself in a dusty lab office. Arthur’s hearth shattered when he was able too get the child out of the crack after three hours of soft talking and a lot of patient. He was meet with a small dark blue/violet skined child that was way too skinny, dirty, bleeding from one of its wings that had these pearly silver white dead eyes that was terrified to death.
-Many of the doctors of the GSA when they saw Meta at little hope for the puffball when Arthur came in the sickbay with the child, but one doctor named Estella did her very best to nurse Meta back to health. She and Arthur remains to this day as the only parents in Meta’s heart and soul.
-Turing he’s care in the sickbay, Estella was the one to find about Meta being one of NME’s creations, and while protocole deemed him a treat, she just could not kill him. She turned to the chief head of the doctors Mister Coldswager and Arthur for help. It was agreed that Meta could live, but only if Arthur took him inn when the hybrid was better.
-It would be a 100 years after Meta was rescued and care in the sickbay that Arthur was able to take Meta inn as his fourth son. Turing that time Arhur made sure that Meta knew he would have older siblings to play with and love him. Meta had a really hard time beliving that his new siblings would like him.
-Meta is the youngest of the four children that Sir Arthur raised. Dragato being the first, Nonsurat second, Falspar third and Meta being the last child Arthur had to raise from childhood.
-Dragato, Nonsurat and Falsper was not so sure about their new little brother when they meet him and was afried of him as well. After all, what puffball is born with wings before they are teens, has fangs, hisses like a snake and bites worst than a mule?
-However they came to like him over time and after a not-so-good-very-bad incident, became very protective of him and his health.
-It took a few hundred years for Meta to not only fully trusts his new family, but also Estella and Coldswager. One really could not blame the guy.
-With his stauts of being a mixed hybrid of demonbeasts and puffball, Meta from a young age ended often up sick and at times had to be in doctor Estella’s care up untill he was a adult. It did not help that his first 1759 years of life have had a very negative effect on him.
-Becuse of Meta being pretty much blind and have way too big wings for his body, he ended up being very clumsy and would often hiss or attack people or things he either did not know of or trusted. This has let more times than not that Meta ended up either hurt or in trouble.
-Meta is a bit unique for a puffball. He’s born with two lagre pair of bat wings that when they turns to a cape he is able to teleport, his eyes change colour to whatever his feelings are ( something of a rare thing among puffballs), he can see in the dark better than others ( when he has is mask on), his dark navy blue/violet body colour is uncommen but attractrive and he has the rare trait of being able to use space magic along with his wind and minor water magic.
-When Meta was stil a child his voice was a little highpitch with a strange accent that somehow suite him quiet well, but still cute enough that most adults ( male or female) went ‘awww’ or ‘ oh my gawd! say that again munckin’. He hates it whenever that happend as a kid.
-When his voice changed to his current natural deep, calm, mature yet strange accent mystery voice, his family, friends and other people where thrown of balance pretty quick from his new voice. He liket it so much better.
-Meta has a gift for singing and thanks to Falspar who is gifted inn music and singing as well, came to enjoy it a lot. He dose still sing to this day, just not as much as he used to thanks to all the pain his been through.
-Falspar also thought Meta a lot of parnks when he found out that the dark blue puff had a knak for them. Much to Arthur’s, Dargato’s and Nonsurat’s horror.
-Dragato got Meta into reading from a young age and both share many likes and dislikes on diffrent types of reading materials. Dragato was also the one to teach Meta Braille, and later on in Meta’s life, how to read, write and what colours where when the puff got the means to be able to see what his family took for granted.
-Nonsurat was the one who end up to teach Meta about spaceships, engineering and the lastest inn weapon engineering. Neither Dragato nor Falspar like it very much. They ended up being the victims to most of those two fools test trys.
-Meta’s family and a very few friends are the only ones that know of Meta being a puffball/demonbeast hybrid. Many a GSA soilder back when Meta was a child and even now would kill him if they knew that his one of NME’s creations.
-The mask that Meta wears was a gift from Estella that have a special glass along with a enhcantment that lets him see. The very first thing he saw when he took it on was the doctor along with Arthur, Dragato, Nonsurat and Falspar smileing at him. He cried that day.
Thats all for now. Time for me to go to bed. I might to a part 2 when I get the time.

Someone like... Me? - Part 6  (Fem Reader x Rami Malek + Gwilym Lee)
Wordcount: +1,6 k Warnings: none
.......
Tumblr media
I wake up and see it's still dark outside. The clock behind my TV says it's 1.41 am. I honestly don't know how because it feels like I've slept for hours. I'm wide awake. When I want to get up I can immediately feel what sleeping on this tiny couch with someone, did to me. I feel stiff. Gwil is laying next to me, all crawled up to me. He doesn't seem bothered by the lack of space. Well.. I couldn't move a muscle all night so I really need a stretch. I'll just go for a smoke. I carefully get up to not wake Gwil, but that fails. ''What are you doing?'' he's immediately awake the moment I leave the couch. ''Just going to the toilet real soon''. I'm actually not but he doesn't need to know. ''mhmmm. Ok'' he says. I walk to the bathroom, to make sure if Gwil is still awake, at least my story sticks. He'll be passed out in a few seconds anyway.
And right I am. When I walk into the living room again he's asleep. I put on my Adidas-slippers and a coat. Just as I'm about to close the door behind me, I remind myself that my keys are still inside. When I take them I see my phone lighting up, oh right.. forgot about that. I take it with me too and in the most quiet way I sneak out, closing the door behind me. I walk down two stairs and the main door to walk out my apartment complex. I light a cigarette and sit down on the stairs leading to the main door. I take a look at the messages I received. Of course lots of messages and missed calls from Rami. Also a few voicemails.. I decide to listen to them. Just the standard ''baby please. I miss you. Please call me back. Please. I love you''. Holy shit, he sounds hammered.
I'm actually about the reply to his messages.. ''Hey...''. I type some more, and hit backspace. And I repeat it for 4 time, but 'hey' is as far as I come. My finger hovers over the send button. Should I?.. Nah.. Fuck him. As I hit backspace to delete the letters and lock my phone, someone calls me. I can see a phone number but it doesn't have a name. Probably someone I know but I don't have their number? I actually don't want to pick up, it's almost 2 in the morning. On the other side, someone who calls me at this hour must really need me. So I pick up.
"Yeah it's A-''.. ''AMELIA" ''Amelia are you there???'' I don't immediately recognize the voice because it's so noisy in the background I can't hear it properly. ''Who's this?'' I ask. ''Amelia it's Lucy I got you-''. I hang up. Fuck this. And fuck her for calling me. I smoke my cigarette in peace while she keeps calling me. I just push it away. Luckily she stops after 4 times. I don't have time nor the will to talk to her. When I put out my cigarette and I'm about to go back inside, another number calls me. What the fuck is it now. I pick up rudely, ''yeah.''
''Amelia – is this you?'' it's a male voice I don't recognize, but again it could be the noise in the background. ''Yeah who's this''? I ask. ''It's Sami – you don't know me but I'm Rami's brother''. I actually want to hang up but him calling me must mean it's serious. I never met him before. It kind of hurt because at that moment I realise I've never met his family before. ''Can you please come here?'' he asks. ''Where is 'here'? And why?'' I'm actually pretty annoyed. Not with him but in general.
I can hear him walking outside to get a better listen. ''It's Rami. He's really drunk and someone beat him up'' I don't say anything.. He'd probably had it coming ''He's making trouble and you're the only one who can get him to calm down, you have to come before he-'' ..''IS THAT AMELIA?'' I hear his voice in the background. Jesus he really is wasted. ''GIVE HER TO ME WILL YOU'' . I hear him arguing with Sami on the background ,,I'm fine leave me alone'' he's so stubborn. There's some mumbling and arguing and then I hear him saying ''well fucking all of you then''. Sami quickly comes back on the phone ''Amy please you really have to come – Lucy will send you the address'' and then quickly hangs up.
I sigh. I really don't want to but I need to. I can't let him get into something serious because I refused to help him, I can't leave him like this. I quickly and quietly run upstairs to put on my jeans, a bra and a sweater. At that moment Gwil wakes up ''what's wrong?''.. I tell him it's okay ''don't worry. I need to get out for a minute. Sami called, Rami's putting himself in trouble''. In a matter of seconds he gets up and puts on his clothes. ''No Gwil you really don't have to come with me'' I try to reason with him. ''You really think I let you wander the streets alone? At 2 am in the morning? No way Amy I'm coming with you''. I know he won't budge so I just let him come with me.
Tumblr media
''Can you and your giraffe-legs PLEASE slow down. It feels like I'm running a marathon'' I tell him annoyed. ''I'm sorry'', he slows down.. ''I'm sorry Gwil I really didn't mean it like that'' and I put my arm through his. I really shouldn't be snapping at the people who don't deserve it. I'll just save it for Rami later. After a few blocks, we reach the cafetaria Rami's at. Lucy's already outside, waiting for us. She wants to say something to me but I don't pay attention to her and walk past her, directly inside with both Gwil and Lucy on my heels. I see Rami sitting at the bar, with a drink, his back facing me. Sami's standing right next to him, following his every move. He's trying to get Rami to come with him, back home. Rami just sits there, ignoring Sami, gazing at his glass of scotch.
As soon as Sami sees me walking in he comes walking towards me, ''there you are.. Hi, I'm Sami, nice to meet you. Wish it was under different circumstances''. He hugs me and at that moment Rami turns around. He has a black eye and some blood on his eyebrow. Why the fuck is he acting liket his? He wants to hug me. ''No. You're going home. NOW'' I'm really angry at him now but try my best to hide it. He grins ''I finish my drink first''. I frown my eyebrows ''you already had enough'' I try to get him off the chair. ''says who?'' he asks. ''Me. You're coming with me. Now''.. .. ''you can't tell me what to do anymore, you don't even love me anymore''. Tears pinch behind my eyes but I keep on trying anyway ''Rami come on, let's go'' .. he just keeps sitting there, not doing anything, Totally ignoring me.
Then Gwil tries, ''Mate, come on let's go home..'' and at that moment he flies off of his chair ''You better mind your own fucking business or else we can take this outside just as easily'' he growls at Gwil. Gwil surely is ready to do so, so he grabs him by the arm, leading him outside. ''No ones gonna fight no-one. We're going home'' Gwil says. I don't want them to fight so I try my best to keep Rami calm but he's too busy with Gwil to take notice of me  ''Well then, you're not only a girlfriend stealer but also a pussy'' Rami yells at him, laughing. I walk up to Rami and with the most calmest, most angry voice I tell him ''HOME. NOW''.
He's clearly upset and with a sad-ish look in his eyes he says ''I'm sorry..'' and then his voice took an angry turn.. ''that they had to disturb you and Gwil while he was shagging you'' he says with a smile on his face but I could see the pain in his eyes. Thisis the fucking last straw that breaks the camel's back. That hurt, so much. Tears fill my eyes and without even thinking about it I smack him in the face with my open hand   ''FUCK YOU'' I yell and walk away ''I'm going home Gwil, you're coming?''.
Gwil quickly catches up with me to walk home and now it's me who has a fast pace.

Rating: PG-13 (swear words and dead sisters)
Pairing: Noah x MC
Word count: 2081
Chapter 5 – Buckle Up
Wednesday morning, when Noah arrived at the school, everybody couldn’t stop talking about something that happened to Ben. He knew that the captain of the basketball team was attacked by a bear the day before. Andy texted the gang about it.
“What’s up with all this commotion? Is it about what happened to Ben?”, he asked Lily while sitting beside her in the classroom.
“About Ben and... Seems that a s-snake attacked Mr. C-Cooper.”
“What the fuck?”
“Yeah. And Lucas was with him.” – Ava answered suddenly behind them, startling them both.
“Ava! You have to stop sneaking like this!” – Lily scolded the other girl, who just rolled her eyes before sitting behind Noah.
“What? Is Mr. Cooper alright? Where’s Lucas? Is he okay?”, he asked, feeling his heart beating faster and faster.
“Why don’t you ask him?” – Ava simply anwered, pointing out to the room’s door.
Lucas approached them, before collapsing in the chair in front of Lily’s.
“Lucas! Are you okay?” – the girl asked him.
“Y-yeah...”
“Is it true? About the snake?” – Ava asked calmly. The boy with glasses nodded. He seemed like he couldn’t blink. – “Where the hell did it come from?”
“It was inside his desk drawer...”
“The fuck...” – Noah muttered.
“Two animal attacks happening within twenty-four hours...” – Ava whispered and he felt a chill down his spine.
“Do you think it has something to do with... Redfield?” – he asked her, who just shrugged.
“Seems possible.”
“Talking about animal attacks...” – and then, Lily told them about the crows that went after Jocelyn and Cody when they stalked her and MC the day before.
“Amazing. I want a crow to go after them now.” – Ava said. Lucas was speechless.
“What? And are you and MC okay?” – Noah asked in shook.
“Y-yeah... They didn’t attack us... But it was freaky and terrifying...”
“The fuck...” – he said again as Principal Flores entered the room to tell everybody that Mr. Cooper was already at the hospital.
“hey... haven’t seen you at school today” – he texted MC, after arriving home.
She replied right away.
“yeah, I was a little late this morning.”
“lily told me about the freaky crows attack... u okay?”
“yeah, i’m fine... thanks for asking. :) but it was so weird.” – she texted more: “speaking of weirderness... one of the crows that was smacked by Jocelyn found this old letter...” – she quickly filled him in about the letter’s content.
“weird”
“yeah. Anyway, are you going to the game tonight?”
“can’t. i’m grounded”
“what? why?”
“my mom’s still mad about what happened monday night so she grounded me.”
She couldn’t stop talking about that one time he “broke” into their neighbor’s house, when he was like twelve years old. It wasn’t his fault if he forgot his keys home and she wasn’t coming back home from work. So, he decided to drop by Mrs. Rodriguez’ house to use her phone very quickly to call his mom. The old lady was kind of deaf and she probably was sleeping, so he entered by the living room window. He never thought one of her sons would be there, visiting her, and he would be sleeping on her couch. In the end, the dude called the police, who called his mom. It was a big misunderstood, but Mom didn’t believe him.
She never believed him anyway.
When Jane died, she didn’t believe a thing he said about Redfield.
“damn” – MC texted him.
“it’s okay, i didn’t intend to go to the game anyway. too much people”
“well, this is a bummer. i thought we would make some snarky comments about the game together.”
He felt his cheeks blushing.
Together.
“haha” – he cursed himself. What the hell was that answer? Jeez...
Thankfully, MC texted him:
“i’m going to the game now. Talk to you later?”
“yeah. see u”
He put the phone on his desk and lied down on his bed, quickly falling asleep.
If Jane was here...
Noah was awaken by the sound of his alarm.
“Crap.” – he cursed, realizing that he slept with the clothes of the day before. He quickly changed his t-shirt and jeans before heading out of his room.
He entered the kitchen, yawning, before suddenly stopping.
“...What?” – he muttered, breathless.
There was a redhead girl around his age in front of the stove, cursing to herself.
“Finally!” – she shouted when she laid her eyes on him. Her voice was strangely familiar... As if... – “What did take you so long to get up? You know I hate cooking!”
He was astonished. – “J-Jane...? Is that you?"
“Uh? Of course it is me, Noah. Did you fall from your bed?” – she chuckled. She had the same laugh as his sister.
...But she was dead. Wasn’t she?
“But... You... Died... 10 years ago...”
“What?!” – she walked toward him and slaped him in the arm.
“Ouch!”
“Do I look like I’m dead?!”
“No...”
“Because I’m not! Now stop talking nonsense and come help me with the bacon! You know I always end up burning them!”
Noah was still confused and numb with that scene. It really was Jane.
Jane was here.
Was he dreaming? But it felt so real...
Anyway, if that was a dream, he should enjoy it. Right?
“Hello, Noah? Are you gonna help me or what?”
Slowly, a smile spreaded on his face.
“Always so bossy.” – he muttered to himself.
“What did you say?”
“Nothing. Here, let me cook.”
They’d just sitted by the table when Mom showed up.
“Good morning you two!” – she said, smiling at them.
“Good morning, mommy!” – Jane told back, happily. The woman kissed the twins on the top of their heads.
Noah was not used with her being so affectionate, but he didn’t protest. In fact, he could get used to it.
“So, this weekend your dad is coming to pick you up. Do you know to where he’ll take you both?”
So Mom and Dad divorced anyway... But it seemed like they had a good relationship...
“Dad told me that we’re going bowling! I’m so excited!” – his sister answered.
“Cool! Hm, these eggs are great! You cook so well, Noah! Have you decided to which culinary school will you apply next year?”
“Ah. No, not yet.”
“Well, you should think about it. You have so much potential, honey.”
He smiled at his mom, nodding.
“Anyway, wherever you’ll go, I’ll go with you!”
“But you can’t cook a thing, Jane.” – he answered her, who told him to shut up.
The three of them had a very pleasant breakfast talking and laughing.
 During the whole way toward school, Noah couldn’t stop watching his twin sister, amazed that she was really there.
Jane still was the same, though she was older now, obviously. She still wore her ginger hair long and was wearing some bright and very colorful clothes. He noticed that she had her nose and ears pierced. She was talking something about being excited for the game that night.
“We’ve been practicing a lot! Stacy and I have been coaching the freshmen and they’re great! And as much I hate to say this, I must admit that even Britney did a good job. Although I really don’t know why Stacy still lets her be part of the team... Britney is just so awful! Ugh, I hate her.”
“Wait. So you’re a cheerleader?”
“Yes, Noah.” – she looked at him as if he had two heads. – “What’s up to you today? You’re acting so weird. Did you really hit your head and forgot everything?”
 A few minutes later, the twins entered the school building.
“Yo, Marshall twins!” – Andy approached them. Tom and Dan were with him.
“Hi, boys!”
“We were talking about the game later today! I’m so excited, it’s my first game! Hopefully I won’t screw it up.”
“You won’t, bro. You’re an amazing player!” – Tom said.
“Thank you, bro!”
“What about you, Dan? Are you going to play tonight too?” – the girl asked him.
“No, being the quarterback is enough to me. But I guess I’ll be there watching. Maybe I’ll go watch the cheerleaders practice too...”
“Hell no!” – they heard a voice behind them. – “If you’ll be there, you’ll be disctracting the freshmen. They’ll all be like ‘OMG it’s Dan Pierce’ and won’t concentrate!” – Stacy said making everybody giggle, even Noah. – “Anyway, Jane practice will be after school today until the game time.”
“Aye, captain.” – the other girl rolled her eyes, but couldn’t hold back a smile, before walking away. Andy, Tom and Dan said goodbye to the twins.
Noah walked down the hallway with Jane to her locker. Lily and Ava were there, chatting.
“Hi, Jane! Hi, Noah!” – Lily said. Ava just nodded at them. They exchanged a few words (everybody seemed to just be able to talk about the game later that night. Lily would be there; Ava wouldn’t) before heading to their classes.
Before they entered the classroom, Jane ran towards someone, throwing her arms around them.
“Uff! You’re too heavy, Jane!” – MC said.
“Where the hell were you?” – the redhead girl asked, after letting her best friend go.
“I put my alarm on snooze. Oh, hey Noah.” – she greeted the boy, who joined them.
“Hey.” – he answered, feeling his cheeks getting hotter just because he saw her side smile. – “Sorry about Jane. She’s just so overly excited.” – MC chuckled:
“It’s okay.”
“Hey! What’s wrong about being happy to see my best friend after a whole weekend away? Anyway, promise me we’ll eat together today during lunch, okay? You too, Noah.”
“Okay.” – they both answered, at the same time. Noah looked at MC who looked back at him before giggling, making him blush even more.
“You’re coming to the game tonight, right?” – Jane asked her friend.
“Yeah, I’ll come to cheer for you. And Andy.”
“Thank you so much, I love you!” – Jane hugged the other girl tight again as the school alarm went off.
The Marshalls said goodbye to MC and entered their classroom, sitting next to each other.
“See, Noah? You should come to the game tonight!”
“Why? You know I don’t like—“
“I know. But MC will be here!”
He felt his face getting hot again.
“And...?” – his sister rolled her eyes.
“C’mon Noah, you can pretend all you want, but I’m your twin. And I know you’ve liked her since... well, always. It’s written in your face. And you act all stupid when she’s around.”
“I don’t act stupid!”
“Whatever. All I know is that you should come to the game. And watch it sitting beside her. You know, there’ll be an after party on Britney’s house tonight. As much as I hate her, everybody knows her parties are the best. You should ask MC to come with you. OH! Even better, you should ask her out! Like, on a date! Maybe go to a diner!”
“I don’t know, Jane... What if... She says ‘no’?”
“She won’t say ‘no’, Noah. In fact, I think she’ll be happy.”
“I don’t know...” – he muttered to himself.
“Anyway, we’ll talk more about this later. I’ll help you on how to ask MC out without sounding like a complete fool.” – she said as Principal Flores and Lucas entered the room.
Noah noticed that Jane sighed all dreamy when she saw the boy with glasses.
...What? Did she have a crush on the Student Body President?
“Good morning all. We’re happy to announce that we have a new teacher starting today at Westchester High” – the Principal started speaking. – “Please, welcome Mr. Redfield—“
Noah felt all the warmth leave his body as a wind suddenly howled up through the classroom and a dark and shadowy figure stepped inside.
“Hello... kids... how about... we start... with a... game?”
“NOOOOOOO!” – Noah jerked into wakefulness, adrenaline burning in his veins and his heart pounding in his chest...
He looked around, realizing that he was in his own room. It was already dark outside.
He stumbled out of his bed, walking around the house, feeling a little lost.
“Jane? Jane?” – he whispered, looking for her, not knowing what was real anymore.
But nothing happened and no one answered to his calls.
The boy felt his heart crushing when he found himself alone on the house.
Jane was not here.
It was all a dream.
Suddenly, tears started rushing down his face and he broke down, sobbing.
Feeling all the hope gone once again.
Jane was not here.
It was just his imagination playing tricks on him.
Of a world where Jane was still here.
Of what if Jane was here.
If Jane was here.

session 27 - Old Men Pressure The Party With Requests
Tumblr media
youtube
> 🎵  Covert Victorian Underwater Piano / Sunless Skies OST
In reaction to Keva’s words, Orin shifts and sort of grumbles under his breath. Slowly he lifts up one of his arms to rub at his eyes before he speaks.
Orin:“…I told you lot… im very busy doing my job here, protecting the bossman noble so if ya could just-“ squinting his eyes open he stops once he recognises you and shouts.“Keva!” 
He sits up so fast Keva almost sees in slow motion his forehead about to bash into her own. She narrowly whips her head out of the way just in time for his to not directly collide with her face.
Orin: he stares at you shocked "you're back! man i was worried" he seems to be unaware he almost clocked you Keva: "why are you sleeping here?" Orin: "wanted to ah...take a nap but wanted to stay out in the sun yknow" he starts to stand up and eyes the four of you's wardrobes "glad you're alright though! ive been hearing some weird stuff since you guys left, i was getting kinda worked up so i tried to force myself to take a nap"
Han: damn king u can sleep in that situation?
As the group chat the other three, with Vinny in tow, stare about the courtyard curious as to where the four of them could have gotten off to. Peering around the palace itself and the grand walls surrounding them, they note that there seems to be alot of smaller buildings connected to the walls themselves, though they aren’t really sure of their purpose or what direction to head. 
There appear to be alot of people coming and going, guardsman, dignitaries and others scurrying around. They're at a loss where to head off to, though Vinny seems to be staring at the palace pensively.
Cimmorro: cimm pipes up "where did those rascals run off to..." noticing vinny staring around "you enjoying the field trip so far?" Vinny: “ah…well i suppose its not the first time ive been inside these walls... I’m just wondering” he puts a hand to his chin thinking before making a clearly displeased face “I ought to make my presence here to Jeanne known, if she doesn’t know already anyway. lest she start parading around the grounds on a mad hunt, I don’t want to hear her endless complaining about having to search for me. despite it being what she was sent here to do in the first place” he starts grumbling under his breath inaudibly Keva: SOMEONE MAKE A JOKE ABT VINNY'S WIFE Plum: [JOKE ABOUT VINNY'S WIFE]
Cimmorro: "your wife again huh" cimm squints at vinny's grumbling "what's the deal with you two anyway.. i know you said your group thinks you're an idiot but they seem to look after you anyway" Vinny: he turns towards you and gives you a half-hearted glare "she's not-augh" he pauses for a beat "she part of the upper circle so she thinks she's better than me, not like i want to be part of this damned accord anyway but..." he sighs “I know the palace here has a grand library, if she’s helping the wizards with the current uh…citywide predicament she’s most likely stationed there. or the grand mage’s quarters I suppose” Cimmorro: cimm looks at vinny with a curious look ".... so do you wanna reunite with her now or later 🤔 " he shrugs "not like we know where the others are anyway... right guys" @ han and rokka Vinny: "probably sooner is better rather than later....like ripping off a band-aid" he gives the other two curious looks but doesn't say anything
Cimmorro: i was goign to be surprised that rokka and han arent speaking rn i forogt what happene din the bath Han: hans just looking at her shoes Rokka: rokka is looking off Cimmorro: need that forgetful potion that erases ur memory of the last 3 days Han: LMFAO
Han:��han kicks a rock at her feet Cimmorro: cimm pokes at han from her side "helloooooo? earth to han?" Rokka: rokka snaps out of his daze "wh-oh uh...yes?" Cimmorro: "what's wrong with you two " Han: han flinches and pushes cimm away with her leg "we can go where you need" Cimmorro: oGJSFDKLGJKSG LIKE PUSHING A CAT AWAY? Rokka: he glances at han real quick "nothing is wrong" Cimmorro: huffing at han pushing him away, cimm looks at rokka before scratching his own head and going "just lead the way vinny. i'm starting to hate the air here" Vinny:  he scratches the back of his head "well...alright if you guys dont mind" he turns and starts leading the way towards the main entrance of the palace and starts to ask around for directions.
Keva: keva gets up with him "alright sure is a word. what'd you hear?" Plum: "yknow where the boss is? finn's looking for him" Orin: "well alot of chatter about corpses suddenly popping up? I don’t envy the job of a city guardsman right now…” he turns his head over to you plum “ah well boss Vorde’s uh, taking a nap. since you guys left I think he’s been up for at least… 30 hours? yeesh” he pouts and rubs a hand through his hair “think the guys going to work himself right into the grave someday if he isn’t careful. though I think he’d want to know if you’re back master finn-" as he gets a look at finn he kinda winces but also is like : D ?  at you holding psalm's hand " maybe we ought to have this chat inside at least… where’s the rest of ya?”  Finn: "Inside...please." Finn says a little stressed. He let's go of Psalm's hand and simply stretches it out towards Orin, wanting to hold his instead. "I've been wondering where my uncle is..." Plum: "yeah you can be the one to wake him up finn" Orin: "doors right there buddy" orin takes your hand anyway Finn: "I can't see Orin..." Finn says with a tinge of annoyance.. but appreciates that Orin leads him now Keva: keva's just >:-| but doesn't say anything
Plum: awwww finn Chip: favouritism Finn: HE'S EMBARRASSED BECAUSE IT WAS SO AWKWARD WITH PSALM Psalm: psalm's just standing there, he's just standing there Finn: psalm: okay stand me up then Psalm: HGHRJDJF yeah 100% Chip: kya this love quadrangle Psalm: maybe keva wants to hold orin's hand Han: THIS ROMCOM MOOD Psalm: wow romcom in one team full angst in the other
The two groups head off to their separate destinations. Orin leads Keva, Psalm, Plum and Finn inside the building he was dozing off in front of, it looks like a branch off a larger building connected to what looks like one of the barracks around the palace.
As they walk in they see servants scuttling about, going to and fro on the ground floor, Orin leads them all up onto the third floor past a set of what look like guest rooms. Finn finally feels the pain in his eyes settle once he’s indoors again. Orin continues on to usher them down to the end of the hall in front of one of the doors. 
Keva, Psalm and Plum opt to wait outside while Finn and Orin head in, inside Finn sees looks like a moderately plush lounge room. He spots Vorde’s bag and cape laying on one of the chairs as well as Orin’s, thrown more haphazardly on one of the lounges, as well as another door leading to what seems to be a bedroom
Orin: "He's in that room over there" Orin points over towards a door branching off the room "did ya wanna wake him master finn or...me?" Finn: he relaxes when his eyes feel better, pulling his hat off unless that kills me here. [editors note: lol] He let's go of Orin's hand and looks at the door. "For how long has he been asleep?" Orin: he thinks "ahhh he laid down about when you all left, so a couple hours now"  Finn: "That is fine enough, our news are urgent after all, I would say." Finn says but in truth he is quite unsure whether he should wake Vorde. Sometimes his uncle seems to be more of a vampire than he is! He goes to knock on the door. "Uncle Vorde?"
Removing his hat and giving the door a knock Finn hears no response, he shrugs and decides to walk in anyway, closing the door behind him. As he waltzes in and looks about he notices Vorde face first on a bed over the covers with his boots still on, though wearing no cravat and vest. The curtains here are also drawn so the room itself is also quite dark.
Cimmorro: i thought he was naked with only boots on Plum: LOL Psalm: OMFG Finn: IUNDFIUGOMJDSFGÖ;DFSG;DSFF:DSG Keva: CAN YOU IMAGINE, GOD WALKING INTO YOUR FATHER FIGURE LIKET HAT Han: 😳 Keva: ENFNRGNKGRKNJRFKJNRNJKFNJR Cimmorro: he just got done fucking with one of the guards Han: VORDE SMASHES FAST
Finn: he slowly comes towards the bed and contemplates how he should go about this. Waking his uncle up is never an easy task. Physically, he can, of course. But emotionally? He knows his uncle needs the sleep. However when he imagines Vorde scolding him for not informing him sooner, he feels a little different. Gently shaking him by the shoulders. "Uncle Vorde... Wake up please..." Vorde: he grunts in response before shifting slightly, moving to sit up "who...." after a few blinks he recognises you finn and quickly sits ramrod straight. he begins eyeing you up and down while patting your shoulders as if looking for something “Safe? Sound of mind? No aches and or mortal wounds you’re valiantly hiding?” from this distance you see the heavy bags under his eyes and one of them almost twitching with unfiltered frustration. Finn: he smiles at the attention Vorde pays to him and how caring he is like this. He nods. "It was a really tough battle..." He looks down for a moment and furrows his brows. Deciding it might be an appropriate time to do it, he closes in to hug Vorde and buries his face in his uncles shoulder. "I had to bite someone to make it. I feel a bit bad about it. ... But I didn't kill them. Like that." He sounds kinda nervous about it. Vorde: he seems surprised at the hug but relaxes and pats your back after a moment "...what we do out of desperation doesn't define us" he slowly releases the hug "i heard a few mutterings before i laid down, but i had not expected you'd go to a battle, or i would have advised more hands" he sighs and rubs his eyes "is it done then? did you and the others stop their plot?" Finn: he backs off a bit when Vorde releases the hug, being grateful for the considerate words, he nods at that. "More hands would have been good, but nothing you could have foreseen, uncle. And I'm still in one piece, aren't I?" He'd say before answering his question. "We did eliminate Theyord and that scum of his cult, but they were able to complete their ritual. I do not know if you had taken notice of it, but briefly, all over the city the dead were raised once more."
Psalm: imagine sleeping through that vorde, real egg on your face there Rokka: jldfsjkd
Vorde: he narrows his eyes "i had not, if they didn't move past that though they you most likely succeeded" he sighs in relief "well one headache taken care of, you can give me the details in a moment" he rises from the bed and stretches "how did the others fare in your battle?" Finn: he watches as his uncle rises and stretches, taking his place on the bed instead while they're talking privately. "I suppose we were successful in the end, but I have to say uncle, it is a scary thought that a devil was able to look into our realm. Even scarier than auntie." He kicks his feet a little in the air as he goes on. "The others?" Finn thinks for a moment. "Badly. We all fared badly. It looks as though that wizard.. Vinny crossed the river of styx more than once." frowning at the memory of his state. Vorde: he listens in as he adjusts his hair and shirt "...yes i have to agree on that. At the very least Arabella doesn't have powers that can raise thousands of the dead, or at least i very well hope she doesn't" he kind of smirks as if he's told a joke in very poor taste "....no deaths however? Finn: he grimaces at the thought. "Do not jinx it!" But he nods at the question. "No deaths at all! Everyone returned from the battle, thankfully. But too many of us were too close to it for comfort." He tries to snort, joking with his uncle. Vorde: he gives an easy laugh "...thats what matters in the end then. for a battle you didn't expect of such scale im surprised thats all you came out with" he turns to give you a proper look finn "...how much would you say you trust them then? with your life or otherwise" Finn: he smiles lots at his uncle's laugh, like this 😊. But when Vorde breaches that topic, his expression takes on a neutral form. He expected his uncle to ask something like this sooner or later now and looks back at him. "They never hesitated to protect me or spare resources for me. Well, that is an understatement. They saved my life already, more than once. I believe it is due to the relationship of your deal with them, however... I think some of them, personally care. Some." Thinking about Rokka specifically. "I think it might just work with them." Vorde: he gives you a long pondering stare finn before turning his head away "...good. all i needed was your approval in that regard." he makes to walk towards the door "if possible id like to speak with them all soon, you can catch me up on what you've seen underground as we walk. Its possible for us to walk about the palace by sticking to the indoor passages if we take the long way" Finn: he now gets off the bed with a little hop and waddles to his uncle's side. "Ah, that would be good. The sun is severely handicapping me today, I had to hold Psalm's and Orin's hands to get here in the first place." He puts on his hat again, unless that killed him earlier. [editor’s note: lol] "Some of the group came here with me, the others are buzzing about in another part of the palace..."
After a bit more brief chatter they decide to look for the rest of the group then bring them back to Vorde and Orin’s temporary room for a discussion. Vorde walks out of the room into the lounge where Orin seems to be idling around for the two of them, grabbing his bag and cloak once again. Not bothered for the moment be places his vest and cravat into the bag. The three then exit out into the hallway where the other three are waiting 
Vorde: "no need to get cold out here for my sake the three of you" Finn: finn trails after Vorde like a puppy Psalm: psalm just shrugs like "I figured you'd want a moment alone to talk to Finn." Plum: "yeah, also orin said you were sleeping, could go for a nap myself honestly" [yawns] Keva: keva gets up from her squat, winces a bit from her muscles quickly becoming sore probably lol Vorde: he gives you a neutral glance psalm "courteous of you i suppose." before turning to look at you plum "i concur, though i feel its best i speak with you all again once before you're called before whatever dignitaries in the evening. If only to clarify a few things now that my end of our deal is complete"  Plum: "sure, we should go find the others anyways"
The group shuffle off to look for the others, Plum tells Finn to lead the way though Finn soon realises he’ll need to hold someones hand again to get around. 
Finn: finn kind of just looks at plum. he cant lead the way really. unless plum is willing to hold his hand. Plum: plum like why is finn looking at me rn “you good there” Finn: "Um... more or less. I just do not think I am capable of guiding us around this castle." he stammers out "You, Keva and Psalm are more suited for that." Plum: "oh why didn't you just speak up" and i grab his hand and pull him along Finn: "Wha- !" finn is dragged along...he has no choice.. he cannot change this.

As they wander around within the palace, Vinny leads the other group, consisting of Cimmorro, Han and Rokka, around to find the library. After a moment of wandering around the tall hallways on the ground floor they find the entrance, a set of open grand double doors. As they shuffle into the library they see a litany of people in blue and white coloured robes flitting about, similar uniforms to the royal guardsman but seemingly less restrictive and looser garments.
At one of the long centre tables they see there Turren, working away at some sort of grand bronze contraption, books and tomes piled high around as she sits upon a tall pile herself.
Next to her, Mardella appears to be reading from a book, reciting a phrase before looking up at Turren who frustratedly shakes her head before she moves onto another passage. The two continue on in this fashion almost comically while, nearby they spy Jeanne leaned over in a chair idly floating cosmetics as she stares into a mirror touching up her makeup.
Cimmorro: "looks like we found her... now give her a kiss" Vinny: he turns to you while hesitating at the entrance "you are making this worse by at least tenfold" Cimmorro: cimm snickers "i'm trying to save your marriage!" in the most joking tone he can possibly make. "i have to have my fun around here lest these two behind us bore me to death and take me to the goddess earlier than i had planned to" he points at han and rokka with his thumb without looking back Vinny: he makes this face at your teasing 😖 Plum: id kick cimms ass ngl Cimmorro: that means everything to me gab
Rokka: rokka mumbles to himself "i can be fun..."  Han: han pushes cimm into the library, NOT HARD JUST LIKE SO THAT HE STARTS WALKING, if he trips well 🙄 Cimmorro: [succeeds on dex save] cimm sticks his tongue out at han while moving out of her reaching distance, would gesture at vinny to go and speak to his lady "go on, shoo shoo" Han: han sticks her tongue back at cimm and also follows vinny
Vinny waddles ahead of the group reluctantly until he enters Jeanne's field of vision, as they go the apprentices gathered around give the group all curious looks before focusing their attention back on their work
Vinny: he waves a hand in front of her before remarking "hello again jeanne, i hear you've been looking for me" Jeanne: she snaps her head in his direction before turning it back to her mirror "oh Vildristin there you are, I’d heard you had found your way to the palace somehow. lovely of you not make me hunt you down myself, always so bothersome.” She clicks a container holding some of her makeup closed before turning fully towards him “charming to see you’re in good….enough health. Last I got a glimpse of you I recall you were cowering against a wall in some rundown hallway. next you time you are unwillingly spirited away could you place yourself somewhere slightly more identifiable for me?”  Cimmorro: behind vinny, cimm looks like this 😬 thinking 'the whole idiot thing wasn't a joke huh'
Rokka: jeanne i have decided you are a meanie mcpoopoo Han: ME RN TRACE Cimmorro: cimm group literally being like booo we hate your pussy @ jeanne rn Han: EMO PHASE OVER WE COME TOGETHER TO HATE ON JEANNES PUSSY
Vinny: he huffs and folds his arms in response to her “I was trying to stay hidden at the time, if you’ve not been informed, the lovely group of people behind me were innocent” Jeanne: she shakes a hand at him dismissively “oh yes yes, but still you were embarrassing me, and in front of the lovely ladies here as well. What to think of poor Beryll’s reputation” she tuts as he shoots a glares at her “hmm right, not that you care much about that, problem child that you are” Vinny: “…you’re barely four years of age on me Jeanne” Jeanne: “and how important those four years are apparently” he lets out a long beleaguered sigh
Cimmorro: cimm's debating if he should intervene rn but decides to hold back another round but he is less pleased at this point Han: one more round of verbal abuse Psalm: this is han cimm and rokka in the bg
Tumblr media
Cimmorro: GLKDJBKLCXJBLCXMBLKSDMLKAMER I LAUGHED SO HARD I THINK I WOKE UP MY SISTER FUCK U SARITA Han: ;LKNDSA;TA4W HLFDW3AREFD
Vinny: a beat passes before vinny folds his arms in front of himself anxiously "right, well I've made myself known then... good luck with whatever it is... you aren’t doing in here" and turns to leave Jeanne: “hold on, you” she quickly extends a manicured finger in Vinny’s direction. “you aren’t shambling off anywhere until I have you report to the Accord, and then we shall be enlisting your help in tightening up the arcane runes around the palace” Vinny: he flinches “w…why on earth do I need to help with the runes…” Jeanne: she sighs before continuing “the great wizards of the accord are happily extending a helping hand to the Dorinian monarchy to resolve such a grand breach of security, of which you yourself are one, do you truly need such reminders? shall I jog your memory also on how to draw magic circle and what sigils make up a prestidigitation spell?” Vinny: he lets out a small frustrated grunt of agony in response Han: han slides in behind vinchezzo "you seem so capable ma'am, and vinny was just injured gravely, you should be fine doing those sigils yourself" takes vinnys waist and gently pushes him further away back to the door lol Cimmorro: cimm gets between han and jeanne "our fair wizard here was at the verge of passing far too many times, i don't suppose it would be uncouth to let him have his well deserved rest"
Han: han and cimm said WE TOP FUCK OFF Cimmorro: han might start a bar fight here he's seen enough Han: HAN SAID SHE TOPS AND CIMM SAID SHE DOES BUT NOT HERE Cimmorro: GKSJDGHSKJHGSJKGSHDGKHJSGD
Plum: han just moving vinny away and him just letting her is destroying me genuinely Han: vinny bottom... Chip: annoyed but liberated Cimmorro: vinny would let himself get manhandled
Rokka: he moves in front of vinny also "yes, i don't think it would look good for an accord that treats their own members in such a way" Vinny: he seems shocked at your intervention but doesn't fight being pushed away much by han. Jeanne: she squints at you all from under her fringe while tapping a finger on the table in front of her "...dont believe i caught the names of our great liberators. So you were the ones looking out for our Vildristin then?" Rokka: "my name is Rokka" he tilts his head up like that hmph motion Han: han noooos inside Cimmorro: "...it's fairer to say that we were looking after each other. vildristin offered great assistance in stopping the underground ceremony, madame" straightening up "so, i, again, implore you to let him rest" Han: keeps dragging vinny out like peace out Jeanne: she leans her head on her free hand atop the desk and stares for a long moment at you cimmorro before clicking her tongue "ahh no fun you lot. Take him away then since one of you seems quite keen too" she leans back in her chair and says slightly louder "waltz down here tomorrow though Vildristin, i mean it!" she sounds slightly whiny as she does. Turren: she gives her a disgruntled look at the volume "Jeanne if you could keep the noise down im trying my best to parse the damn code whatever 100 year old mage encrypted this thing with" Jeanne: she wilts slightly with a laugh "aha my apologies arch mage" she waves the four of you off with her hand Cimmorro: cimm gives jeanne a forced smile before leaving
Rokka: https://tenor.com/view/avatar-last-airbender-sokka-katara-gif-5506067 Cimmorro: ROIAKLLOAKOLKWKOGOAGKOKADGDSG
The group quickly shuffle themselves out of the library back into the tall palace hallways, dragging Vinny along with them.
Han: once hans out the door "well, at least bought a nights rest for you" Cimmorro: catching up to the others with a sprint. "okayyyy then... not saving your marriage. if i knew you had a wife like that i think i'd sabotage it if anything" he keeps his hands behind his head Han: "ye, if you need someone to hold her down while you get a left hook in, count me in" Chip: cimm like ill homewreck fr u anytime vinny Cimmorro: ILL GET CHU OUTTA THERE U DONT BELONG THERE 
Vinny: he lifts his glasses and rubs his eyes "yes well, at least that’s out of the way for now. Suppose i'll be cooped up at the palace for the next few days" he turns to you cimm after "....im too tired to keep correcting you. Gods i need a nap" Cimmorro: "is this how they ALL treat you in the accord? or is madame there a special case?" Vinny: "mostly. some of them aren’t as insufferable as that, she's definitely a standout. were i feeling conspiratorial id almost think they sent her specifically on purpose" Han: "definitely on purpose" Rokka: rokka jsut quietly pats vinny on the back Cimmorro: cimm looking at vinny like damn bro u live like this "i still can't help but wonder why you stick with them if this were the case" Rokka: "yeah, can't you...i dont know... quit?” Vinny: "we all make bad choices when were younger, unfortunately im still stuck with this one" he stares at the ornate looking wall in the hallway tiredly Han: han gives vinny an empathetic shoulder (or i guess hip with her fucking size) bump "if you want to escape and start new life...." Vinny: he finally laughs again at that "I've thought about it i cant deny that, who would i leave the store too though..." at that though he kinda snaps his eyes open "right, i almost forgot with jeanne's yammering" he turns back to you all seriously "im still worried about where ezra and cole have gotten too....they still haven't shown up. I was going to ask since it seems i wont be able to really leave and look around on my own. If uh, you get the chance, could you try and look into it and see where they've disappeared too?" Han: "oh, yeah. i was planning to look for them anyway" Rokka: "yeah, I am kind of worried" Han: "you can do that scrying thing like you were under before?" Vinny: he goes 🥺 "thank you, i really appreciate it" before responding to the question "no, sadly i dont have the ability to cast something that potent. Maybe i could badger jeanne about it tomorrow however.... least she could do for me"" Han: han makes the excalibur face "we can search by our own" Psalm: LOL Plum: LOOOL
Cimmorro: "would she even consider your requests? with the way things were going earlier it didn't seem possible to me" Vinny: "if im going to be forced to work with her tomorrow i can ask at the very least, if it comes to nothing well i'll already be having an annoying morning" Cimmorro: "quite a nice coworker you got, i'll be real... could you not quit the accord and keep the shop going yourself? probably even set up elsewhere" Vinny: "i cant quit the accord period, as least not right now. They dont have control over the shop, just over me... Im sure i could travel as i pleased if i informed them where i'd be heading, but id be forced to answer them if they ever called me. Having the store just makes it easier" he sighs "it hasn't been an issue much for a few years but with jeanne here i get the feeling they'll try and meddle with me again" Cimmorro: "you... really like roping yourself into trouble huh" cimm responds Vinny: "ahh.. i am a man of many talents" he says ruefully Cimmorro: "as I've said earlier, too many hobbies"
As they chat, Vinny’s group spots the others coming down the hallway towards them and start waving their hello’s, regrouping altogether once again.
Rokka: rokka perks up "oH GUYS!!" he waves and runs over Plum: i wave at rokka too Chip: plum getting hugged by rokka while holding finns hand Rokka: THATS LITERALLY WHAT IM IMAGINING RN Plum: what was that shit we said yesterday. sorry i fuck and yall dont   
Finn: "hello rokka... it is good to see you again" finn comments, also relieved to see rokka.. Rokka: "boy am I glad to see you all again" he gently pats finns hat, careful not to tip it Finn: finn laughs quietly at the gesture, not minding it at all coming from him. "the pleasure is all ours." Psalm: "It..hasn't been that long...?"
Vinny: as the groups converge vinny rubs his neck idly "ah i think i'll split off here and go find somewhere to lay down for a bit, in those barracks that had the bathouse under it" he turns to cimm and han "ill let you know tomorrow if i can wrangle jeanne into anything" Han: thumbs up @ vinny Cimmorro: i nod at vinny "see ya" Keva: keva lets her head drop tiredly on orin's shoulder while we all stand around n talk
Vinny ambles off to find some shuteye while the group chatters amongst themselves, soon after Vorde leads them all back to him and Orin’s temporary lodgings within the castle walls. The group inform him and Orin of their goings on’s over the past day on the way before they arrive at the building again, walking up the stairs into the room one after another. Vorde places his bag down before sitting himself down in a chair in the main lounge room as the group all settle themselves.
Vorde: "seeing as you are to be called in to speak with the royalty soon i feel best i get this out of the way now so we may both be on our own ways." he folds his hands in his lap and regards you all
Cimmorro: vorde lookin like this:
Tumblr media
Chip: SJKHEEHJKAGHKJEGAJEJG Psalm: STOP  Finn: uiHOIDMJFGIOD;KGFO;DFG finn goes to sit on vordes side, but he doesn't sit like barock
Vorde: he continues on “at this point I consider my obligations in our deal complete, you’re names are cleared and the royalty is clearly thankful to you, an enviable spot to have landed yourselves within. when they summon you again I’m quite certain it will be to discuss compensation or some sort for your task done” Keva: keva looks at whoever questioned her abt being compensated idr Chip: michelle just knows she has a right to go haha neener neener rn
Vorde: “i feel it is time i speak more on the the job, yes” he sighs and leans further back, fatigue settling into his limbs as he rubs a hand across his face “as you all know I’ve spoken before that it is to take place in Antessa, my hometown” he pauses thinking “you will all need to arrive there within 2-3 months, no later than the 45th of Aestas. In simpler terms you’ve a maximum of 87 days from today, easy enough, I can’t imagine that no matter what route you travel there it wouldn’t take you any more than 60 or so days at the maximum. how you get there or what you do from now until you arrive is of no concern to me, so long as you arrive before this time. i shall not be accompanying you there, I've other matters to attend to before we arrive, Orin and Finn alongside me.” Finn: finn kicks his feet a little in the air again, having known about this he's not particularly affected unless rokka looks at him with sad puppy eyes Han: "travelling together sounds smart, especially by foot" Psalm: “no arguments there” Keva: keva starts chewin on a thumbnail while she thinks Rokka: "finn, you're leaving?" Plum: plum is frowning but they're not saying anything either Finn: "Ah...I must. But we will meet again in Antessa, with a lot to tell each other I'm sure." Finn tries to give Rokka a reassuring smile. Rokka: "ah...I was beginning to enjoy our time together..." he looks down "but if you must then I hope to see you soon" Finn: Finn's smile becomes a little sad at that... Enjoying the time he's spent with Rokka as well. "So was I... But we must simply look forward to our next meeting. Time will fly quickly, I'm sure." Vorde: he’s staring very hard at you all considering something while peering at rokka and finn
Keva: in a low volume @ orin "where are you going to be?" Orin:  he tilts his head towards you keva "boss man's gotta meet with some people and shuffle around some stuff in ackran i think" Keva: "does it have to do with whatever we're doing in what-its-name" Orin: “ayeeep” Keva: she says louder @ vorde "actually you haven't told us yet what we're doing in your hometown" Vorde: vorde looks at you keva "as unfortunate as I’m sure it is to hear, I cannot yet relay details on said job. while I don’t doubt you all are adept at this point, I cannot risk information about this leaking at all. under any circumstances. when you arrive I will be sure to brief you all in full, down to the finest detail, on specifics. until then just know It will most likely involve combat, and if it soothes you, it is for a righteous purpose” as he says the last bit you see him clench his hand on one of his knees almost unconsciously. Han: "really? no information? nothing helpful so we could even prepare?" Vorde: he shakes his head "that is as much as i can say unfortunately"
Chip: vorde gets 5 black psyche locks appear Han: me ripping his psyche locks Cimmorro: lock pick it keva go
Han: "and if we dont show up?" Psalm: "So are we getting compensation for this as well or was clearing our names payment in advance?" Vorde: "then you would be breaking the terms of our deal. of which i would not take kindly too" he gives you a stern expression before turning to psalm "you will be compensated for this job, clearing your names was the advance. the rest comes after it is complete" Psalm: "I see. Well that's fine with me then." Plum: "you have a lotta faith paying us in advance that's for sure 🤨 but i kinda need to be up around there anyways" Han: han has a bad taste in mouth n just sighs Cimmorro: looking over the group cimm is thinking 'stuck with these guys for months...'
Keva: back to whispering to orin ".... you really think we can trust this guy?" Orin: "well he'll pay you thats for sure, and i dont think hes going to drop you in a ditch if thats what you're scared of" Keva:  keva looks directly at orin "it's not me i'm worried about" Orin: he just kinda rolls his eyes Keva: she pinches him in his side Orin: he goes ow ow ow Keva: she grumble at him "you always manage to get yourself into Something." and then quieter and looking at the floor "i don't like being separated that long." n she looks at her thumb before wiping the spit off on her shirt Orin: he kinda rubs his side "ah well yknow, i cant really leave boss man's side at this point, even when finn flutters off i gotta be his second pair of eyes. i'll see ya again dont worry" Keva: keva just sighs quietly thru her nose
Vorde: he continues "theres a place on the outskirts before you reach the town called The Dead Bone Bend, its a cliffface of a sort. at its top is where u can meet me" Plum: [repeats name to self] "gotcha” Celebrity Guest Aqua: Kya meeting vorde at an ass end of nowhere near decrepit ghost town >_< Psalm: PEAK OF ROMANCE Cimmorro: bro ik its like eloping Plum: called bone bend Celebrity Guest Aqua: Well, My bone bend as they say Finn: if it were anyone other than vorde id assume im being killed by a serial killer but vorde? id meet him anywhere Han: yall are crazy Psalm: AND WHAT ABOUT IT? Han: FAIR CARRY ON
As they chat Vorde seems to be lost in his thoughts for a moment, he blinks before turning to address Finn and Orin about something.
Vorde: “Finnian I hate to ask this of you, but could you accompany Orin downstairs for a moment, one of the servants should have some notes for me prepared that I asked after earlier. It should be no trouble to grab them if you announce yourself as a Barvotte” Finn: Finn hops off his seat and looks towards Vorde "But of course, uncle." Then to Orin, as he will request his guidance in just a moment and already walks towards the door.
Cimmorro: were going to die Psalm: damn here we go, he's gonna turn into a lich Han: WE HAD A SHORT REST YOU SAID CHIP
Orin follows after Finn dutifully downstairs to ask around about the servant. After Finn leaves Vorde waits a few beats before turning back to address the group.

Vorde: “there is one more thing I would like to ask of you all before you head off to wherever you may. I would like you to take Finn with you on your travels until you reach Antessa.” he stares at you all seriously, his hands clasped on his lap. Plum: plum tries to hide a laugh Han: "....you could have just said that with him here, why was... is this secret. wh" Psalm: 0_0) "Any reason why...?" Rokka: rokka immediately perks up and becomes excited "yeah! made me feel sad all for nothing!" Vorde: "he seemed eager yes but i feel i should ask you all before he is foisted upon you. it is awkward to do if he is staring you all down. i want honest answers" he turns to you psalm and shakes his head “as loathe as I am to be appear genuine here, my nephew has never travelled outside of Antessa unless it was under my watch. I fear he has not had enough experience of the world on his own, never forced to adapt I suppose you could say” he squeezes his hands slightly before continuing "he can be a bit too attached to me, he has to stand on his own eventually"
Cimmorro: what if vorde's going to a dangerous mission and he dies while finn is with us makes u think Psalm: why would you say that, what the fuck are you on dawg Finn: hey jez im going to kill you for real Plum: mentor figures dont always gotta die ! just saying chip ! Celebrity Guest Aqua: just bcs hes a dilf you dont have to kill him its ok
Rokka: "don't worry sir vorde. I will do my best to look out for him" taps his bicep Han: "........ you want us to babysit?" grimacing Psalm: "While I see what you're saying I don't think I'm cut out to be babysitting." Plum: "i mean i don't mind, rather him than some of you lot sometimes [not looking at keva]" Vorde: he nods his head at you rokka before staring at the other two “you have all proven yourselves capable, even strong individuals. more importantly you aren’t quite like anyone he’s been forced to be around before, that is important.” He pauses a moment again before continuing “I think he has proven himself to you now that he is also able of handling himself in more dangerous circumstances, he would not be a burden. or he very well shouldn’t be one, travel wise or monetarily” Keva: after a bit "....fine. if you make sure orin stays safe." Vorde: he stares at you a moment "that i can assure" Psalm: "Money or otherwise isn't really the issue..." Psalm trails off. Rokka: rokka's just like haha its not babysitting when ur just hanging out with ur friend 🤪
Vorde: he turns to you psalm “you do not have to agree to this request, I am not demanding it of you but I would appreciate it greatly, nonetheless” and for once you see some genuine emotion in this old mans eyes Han: vorde like 🥺 Psalm: psalms like
Tumblr media
Cimmorro: 
Tumblr media
Han: han is untouched by vorde puppy eyes Celebrity Guest Aqua: bounces right off of han Plum: plum isn't
Psalm: * weak to pressure* "It's not like I'll be up to much before whatever you have planned so." just waves his hand Vorde: he nods at you before turning to the rest of you expectantly for an answer Han: han shrugs as an answer like do i rly got a choice bruh..... Cimmorro: "........... we're all going there anyways so there's no difference if he comes with or not. we'll be meeting together in Antessa and working from there regardless. might as well bring him along" Plum: also yeah i just look at bossman and nod if he doesn't get the impression im down for whatever Psalm: psalms not even gonna bother fixing the misconception that we're a functioning group of acquaintances rn Vorde: at your reluctant approval he tiredly speaks again as if drained from not being detached for once "thank you all. i appreciate it" in a rarity he bends forward and gives you all a bow before lifting his head again "with things more or less settled, i'll be due to leave the city sometime in the evening tomorrow along with Orin. I will inform Finn myself of this change before then, i ask you to not tell him just yet yourselves if possible. He will meet you all in the morning at some point i will make sure of that"

At the tail end of the conversation the group hear Finn and Orin’s footsteps from outside, a knock on the door from Finn announcing their presence again.
Finn: simply comes in without waiting for a reply after he knocks. "Uncle we were able to retrieve the notes you asked for." He says, walking up to Vorde to hand them over and sit next to him again. He's looking forward to not seeing this group for a couple months with the exception of a few select. Cimmoro: everyone looking at finn uncomfortably rn, cept for rokka whos probably wagging his tail Vorde: he takes them from you finn "thank you finnian" he turns back to you all and unfolds them, revealing them to be large maps of the area and written timetables and puts them on a table in front of him "i feel the least i can do is give you some information so you may chart your course as you wish before leaving." he stands from his chair visibly more tired than usual "and now, i am going to lay down for a few more hours at the very least" he turns to you finn "after you speak to the royalty in a time id like you to come wake me for a chat" he pats finn on the shoulder before walking back towards the room with a bed Finn: Finn smiles again at the pat to his shoulder, thinking he and Vorde will just have tea or something. Now that the letterheads are taken care of, some normalcy can return to their lives. Temporarily, at least. It's been a while since they could just talk. And finally they get to travel again! He's missed Orin and Vorde dearly. He nods at his uncles words and wishes him plentiful rest. Plum: jude man, my gawd
Vorde heads out of the room, leaving the group to examine the items he’s placed upon the table. They set about investigating the various routes they could take from here to Antessa.

Tumblr media Tumblr media
Route 1 - 100gp per person for the entire boat journey, then 100gp for a caravan and some horses, 500g for supplies for the whole journey (food and horse feed)
Route 2 - 1000gp per person for the entire airship journey then 100gp for a carvan and some horses and 100g for supplies for the whole journey (food and horse feed)
Route 3A - 100gp for caravan and some horses, 1000g for supplies for the whole journey (food and horse feed)
Route 3B - 100gp for caravan and some horses, 1100 gp for supplies for the whole journey (food and horse feed)
Psalm: psalm perks up when he sees the airship option "Finn you wouldn't happen to know what your uncle plans on getting up to before Antessa would he?" Finn: "My uncle isn't fixated only on this job. He has his business to do here and there, that's all I know. I guess I can tell you when we reunite in Antessa?" Finn answers plainly. Psalm: "Ah.. was trying to see if I could get some clues for our upcoming mission but alright." Finn: Finn chuckles at that. "Try all you want, I will also not tell you any more than my uncle did." Psalm: "You caught me ^_^ " Plum: i feel like psalm just lied Psalm: was 100% lying yeah, don't even need to hide that lmfao
Psalm: "I vote we take the airship. Well, either way, im taking that. Even if i have to go by myself” Finn: Finn leans back and watches Psalm starting drama, like he's about to watch an entertaining play. Rokka: rokka taps his chin "i've never been on an airship before..." Plum: "ugh.. i don't like the sound of being up in the air, i'm more interested in the boat route" Han: "i dont have that money and people dont take good to that" Psalm: ”Boats aren't that much safer. They're both ships if you think about it." Plum: "i'm not too keen on the boats either” Han: "airship sound kinda boring but whatever" Psalm: “WHAT. How??” Plum: plum looks at psalm like what the fuck Keva: keva also look at psalm from her distracted thinking like [what the fuck?]
Han: "what do you do on air??? stare at sky??? at least i can forage on horseback..." Psalm: "Why would you want to forage? Plus it's faster." Han: "how else do you get food???" Psalm: Psalm just stares at her like ah i see the problem now Keva: "airship rats" Han: han considers airship rats for a moment Psalm: "You buy food." Han: "why would you buy food if you can just hunt something..." Psalm: "I feel like this is going to go in circles so I'm not going to follow up on that." to himself under his breath  "I'm flat broke though...😭  " Cimmorro: "we should find out our compensation before we decide on routes, if we are even able to afford it" snickers 
As the group kill time scanning maps and discussing their preferences, the seven of them are finally once again summoned to speak before the nobility in the evening. As the sun finally sets and after some searching from a harried liaison, they bid farewell to Orin in the room before they're led through the palace floors.
As opposed to being led towards the grand courtroom before, the group are led down a different hallway instead, upstairs within the palace. The ceiling is less ludicrously high on the second floor, though only slightly. They are directed to the end of a hallway before a set of grand double doors by a couple of royal guardsman.
youtube
> 🎵  Minor Labyrinth I - The Undiscovered Realm / Etrian Odyssey IV OST
As the group are led inside, in the centre of the room they see a large heavy round oak table, with grand ornamentation carved into its sides. Around the table are bookcases and chairs, as well as banners and shields hung across the walls, and a grand looking window on the far back wall.
On top of the table are books and papers piled up, as well as multiple maps of the city, different angles and sections with small black wooden markers placed upon them. At the doors of the room two royal guardsman stand on guard and eye the group as they walk inside.
Directly across from where they entered, there they see king consort Jeremiah on the other end of the table seated, working away at something as an attendant speaks, bent over next to him. He seems preoccupied until their entrance, to which he lifts his head and speaks a grand greeting. 
Jeramiah: “Ah yes there you all are, Vengaboys correct? Apologies for the delay but there is much to be done within a short amount of time if we want to lift the lockdown by tomorrow...” he idly scratches at his chin as he puts down a quill held in his hand Psalm: "vengaboys correct" broke my immersion Chip: LOL Keva: we did this
Finn: he bows in appropriate fashion for the king consort. "Vengaboys is correct, your majesty." Plum: plum is like my family is not going to believe the shit ive been getting up to this week i'll tell you that, im wondering if i should curtsy or something but i think i will decide against it Rokka: "greetings your great....highness....majesty.......king.....?" how do u speak to the royal family idfk Han: “ya sup” Jeremiah: he nods at your greeting finn and smiles a little at han and rokka's before shuffling a few papers together and setting them aside. He tents his hands in front of him on the table before continuing on “i’ve been informed of what occurred earlier today in detail, what this cult attempted to achieve and how it was stopped by yourselves and the two guardsman who spoke with me. Incredible work, I say this truly, this great city owes you a good deal for the countless people you’ve saved, and those you prevented from witnessing such horror firsthand” at this he stands regally and extends a hand across his chest, bowing his head slightly to you all. his attendant almost appears shocked at his action, flustering slightly next to him. Plum: im also shocked Keva: keva is uncomfortable Psalm: psalm is also uncomfortable Finn: Finn is experiencing anxiety premium rn but nods at the gesture. Hoping thats the right thing to do. Rokka: rokka is also slightly uncomfortable.....thats a lot of eyes and ears Cimmorro: cimm just watching
Plum: “err...i mean...” [wondering if they should say anything] Psalm: "There's no need to thank us..." Rokka: “yeah...” Han: on a lower volume "we nearly died, the fuck are you all on (does a mocking tone of psalm) 'no need to thank us'" Plum: [rolls my eyes at han] Finn: finn glares at you han Psalm: he flips her off behind his back
Han reaches out in an attempt to covertly twist Psalm’s arm behind his back, but he quickly bats her hand away before she can get to him at all.
Psalm: HAHAHAHAH SUCK IT LOOOL, i'm imagining this in my head and it's destroying me Plum: SAME like drake and josh or something Han: HAN TSKS QUIETLY Keva: keva bites her lip trying not to laugh Psalm: he 😏
As Han fails to bully psalm, Jeremiah rises up from the bow and sits again before continuing on with his speech.
Jeremiah: "no need to humble yourselves, i give gratitude where i believe it is due" and smiles before speaking again, unbeknown to the bullshit occurring in front of him “what I would like to discuss first is that you have all been formally pardoned. This was done earlier in word at your court hearing but I’d like to inform you that is now officially on our records." he continues on "i am also having the two guardsman knighted for their efforts but I feel a party as yourselves typically appreciates more material goods in exchange for a task done.” He smirks slightly and turns towards his attendant “Please inform them?”  Attendant: the attendant quickly bows before turning to address you all “The Dorinian Monarchy thanks you for your efforts in securing our grand city of Shorewater. In exchange your party, the Vengaboys, shall be gifted a lump sum of 35,000 gold, in addition to your formal pardon” the attendant finishes speaking Psalm: AIRSHIP HERE WE COME BABY Rokka: ROKKAS EYES BULGE OUT AT HEARING THE MONEY Plum: MY EYES ALSO BULGE OUT Keva: YA KEVA'S JAW DROPS Han: (han counts on her fingers subtly)
Jeremiah: though he continues staring at them as if expecting more “…and?" Attendant: the attendant jumps to attention “ah…your majesty I was unsure if you were ah….and there’s the necessary checks we’d need to…”
The attendant babbles themselves into silence as Jeremiah continues staring at them expectantly before they cough and turn back towards the party.
Attendant: “The monarchy has also seen fit to ah, rehold the Elfonsent Ball in 2 weeks’ time, featuring you all as guests of honour for your undoubtedly heroic actions earlier on this day” they finish, giving a bow Jeremiah: he smiles happily, his hands tented in front of his face. Finn: he wonders if he's the one supposed to represent the group here and supposed to respond, noble and all. balling his fist and unballing it nervously. "W-we are grateful for your swift work and your generous reward, Consort Jeremiah." Finn bows again, a bit more this time. "We would gladly attend the rehold of the ball with great pride." Plum: plum is not really sure what to say, looks at finn and is like "yes.. uh... thank you." and coughs into their fist Cimmorro: "yea this is pretty pog not gonna lie" Rokka: ROKKA KIND OF FREAKING OUT Han: han still counting Keva: she kinda is just like "what the fuck" almost silently to herself Psalm: psalm's like deadpan: "Your Majesty you really don't have to do that." Jeremiah: he smiles at your response "wonderful to hear young barvotte" before turning to you psalm and he laughs "as far as im concerned were underpaying you after that report but we need to manage expenses to deal with the aftermath. there is the matter of corpse location, cleanup and funerary services… sections of the city will need to be sanctioned off until these are complete. funerary services and body identification...we will hold a mourning service once all has been organised but afterwards” he picks up and begins twirling his quill in one hand Finn: finn fidgets nervously at how the king consort seemingly doesn't mind his awful anxiety. tries to smile. keyword tries. Psalm: psalm just ^_^ Cimmorro: "may i ask whose funerary services are you hiring?" Jeremiah: he turns to you "we'll most likely enlist the church of heiron as they have a great base in the city already, but i am considering asking after other churches aid as well, depending on the number we will have to handle" Keva: keva looks up from her daze at the mention of church of heiron Jeremiah: he continues on while still spinning the quill continuing after in thought “…elfonsent spell is about forging connections with one another, deep in the throes of springtime. recent events have no doubt stoked hostility and suspicions, gossip about the perpetrators and despite what information we put out, people will harbour their fears still. After all of this I want to give people something to smile about, and some heroes to shower with praise” he tilts his head with a glint in his eye and smiles “you need not attend if you’d not like to publicly, but it would be a great boon to have you all be present, your free to invite guests as well to your hearts desire" Han: han goes : D at that
Psalm: what's with all the old men pressuring us today Chip: welcome to my dilf pressure cooker
Cimmorro: also cimm's going to pipe up "i come from the church of wee jas. we specialise in funerary services and i'd be honoured to lend a hand if your majesty needs an extra pair" Jeremiah: he raises a brow "oh? is that so? if you would like to i would appreciate the help greatly, as well as if you had any other contact to jasidian temples you could make. i'll assemble information regarding the inspection and cleanup for you at a later date then" Finn: "Oh, I don't mean to appear rude, but is Vorde Barvotte accounted for in this invitation?" Finn manages to work up the courage to ask. Jeremiah: he turns to you finn "yes he is invited as well, just as he was the previous one. it would be gauche for me to retract it now" Cimmorro: cimm would just smile at the blessing of being able to contact other temples and go "awesome! thank you i'm looking forward to working for you, your majesty!" he is genuinely happy abt this all for once Jeremiah: he nods his head at you cimmorro and moves to address you all again "i thank you all again, you may rest at the palace this evening. In the morning you will be summoned to receive your compensation before you leave. Over the coming weeks I will send liaisons with documents for you to sign in regards to your involvement with the events below ground, as well as your formal invitations to the next ball. as you go please give your current lodgings over to my attendant here” he begins turning his attention back to the documents at his hands “have a good evening vengaboys”
The attendant shuffles forward around the table towards the group with parchment and quill in hand, expectantly waiting to take down their addresses. The group all give their current lodgings in their business district inn’s, Keva just gives the inn’s name verbally.
As they all finish off the meeting, the group are all led out of the room and then back down the palace stairs followed by royal guardsman. As they reach the ground floor they nod and take guard at the stairs, allowing the group to then wander as they please. 
The guardsman briefly point them in the direction of their guest rooms, one of the smaller buildings near the royal guard barracks inside the walls. The party find the rest of the evening to themselves to wish as they wish, at a ripe time of 7:30 PM.

With all the build up to the Fitzsimmons confrontation, do you think Fitz will actually break through? And presumably there will actually be a confrontation? Not just a case of running to escape and trying to pull Fitz out from the real world side of things.
Hi Anon!
With all the frustration and build up to it…it had better otherwise I think there will be riots in the streets.   Its been drug out far too long for it not to have some sort of effect.  After all simply seeing Jemma was enough to get him to question killing Agnes until Papa Fitz and Ophelia got their hooks back in him.  Distracted him from looking for her.  
I also personally feel that if a face to face confrontation would have done nothing then:
Ophelia wouldn’t have been so afraid of it
Wouldn’t have isolated and manipulated him as much
Made sure Jemma was dead in this world
Had Fitz start to break when he saw her
Or delayed it for so long.
We have been hit with feels time after time in here.   And one of the biggest punches they could pack would be Jemma not being able to get through to Fitz at all.  So if that was the case they would have clobbered us with it already.
Jemma not helping Fitz also goes against what we have seen from the other hostages.  As frustrating as it is to still have him trapped I’m sure the fandom would have been upset if Radcliffe had been the one to wake him up and not Jemma.  The ones we see breaking through have more personal relationships with those that helped them break.
Jemma did nothing for Coulson, but Daisy did
May did nothing for Mack but betraying Daisy at least got him into the Resistance.
Mace was too immersed in the fantasy and they never really got through to him.
May had the shock of what Hydra was really doing AND Coulson
Fitz has been isolated.   He had Daisy and Radcliffe but like Jemma with Coulson it wasn’t enough.  Not only is he surrounded by his captors but he’s not getting help.  
Sadly,this has now gone into “contrived roadblock” territory.  Yay, contrived roadblock territory (Tumblr just saying sarcasim font would be appreciated).  The writers are once again messing with that line of keeping them apart too long for the sake of drama…contrived drama at that.  Fitzsimmons fans are tearing their hair out and I have heard from a few non Fitzsimmons shippers are getting fed up with them being kept apart for so long.  Jemma keeps getting pulled away from going for him.  First Daisy wouldn’t let her, followed by her trying to keep Mace and the others alive, finally she got a win in figuring out what Looking Glass was and  that was why AIDA took Fitz in the first place.
They have set up Fitz is the key to all of this. HE was AIDA’s real target, HE was the one she manipulated the most, HE is her prize in more ways than one.  She needed his mind and she stole his heart.  And they will need FItz in order to stop Looking Glass and AIDA once this all escalates. 
We haven’t seen any of the hostages get their memories back.  Coulson gets flashes but that is thanks to Tahiti.  May had a sense of deja vu with the tie thing.  Meaning Fitz even getting a flash of his real memories will be a huge win.  Really speak to their bond that she can break through that much.  We don’t need FItz to remember we just need him to help stop AIDA long enough to get the girls out so they can get the hostages out before its too late.  
Finally from a story stand point they liket o get to this point, where the baddie is about to win.  Jemma getting to Fitz sooner would have meant he could have broken before the project was complete and for whats coming next…it needed to be done.  
All that aside I don’t know if he’ll get his memories back, I am expecting him to be like the others and gets back to his true nature enough to start trying to stop what AIDA has done.  Then getting out of the Framework without some sort of Fitzsimmons face to face confrontation is a waste of what Lil and Iain could do with a scene like that.   Especially because it can parallel the scene from 15 between Jemma and Robo Fitz.  Only this time Fitz has the gun on her and she has to bring him back.   Get him to do what his LMD could not.  Bonus if she uses a life changing phrase (I want to marry you, I love you, we’re having a baby).  Overcome his programming and protect the woman he loves.

Introduction with some rants.
If you want to skip and directly go to the list, click/press/touch: here.
But I suggest reading all the post, not to please me (ok, maybe that would make me happy), but mostly as a challenge for you. To be able to say “I was able to read a horrible and full of grammar error post written by an otaku who belives himself a blogger!”.
Feel my despair.
You know, like watching Boku no Pico, you can put it into your CV… wait you can’t?! Watching Boku no Pico isn’t a trophy you should share with others?! Oh, well… just ignore this then.
So, screw it. After 10 days of blogging, I’ve discovered it’s humanly impossible to comment every single anime I’m following, as much as I would like to. I’m unsure about this kind of post though. So, it may just be a one-time thing. I’ll see whether I’m able to write for next week.
No seriously, the trial in the title isn’t for show. For some wicked reason I spent more hours doing this, than any previous post, while the aim was actually cutting the time I put into the blog, as reality is getting too toilsome (yeah, did you notice how it isn’t the blog to be toilsome, but reality?).
I decided that this will cover most of the anime I watch that I have no time to write articles on. I will probably keep writing more detailed posts about the best ones (in my opinion) at least (probably not the sequels though, as I would have probably already read the original source). They will be here too though.
I consider a week from monday to sunday, so this post will try to cover the anime episodes that came out from monday 24th April to sunday 30th april. Yeah, because I have some weird disease that makes me watch anime as soon as they come out, or I’ll die.
Sleep. is. for. the. weak.
As my first report/ranking post, there will also be short introductions for each anime I haven’t already write about yet. Furthermore, and this is important, as I’ve actually started writing this on friday, lots of this week’s episodes are already out of my memory. So, many of the series I’m actually watching, aren’t here in this post. But, hey. This IS a trial version. The important thing is that at least my favourite are here.
But this list doesn’t represent all the anime I’m watching at all. I’m quite proud to be able to watch ove 50 series per season, sacrificing sleep, but I don’t have the drive to write about them all…
This doesn’t mean I won’t try though.
I obviously use a decimal system while attempting to give a score to each episode.  I try to use the MAL system when possible. Don’t count on it too much though. I’m quite bad at analyzing things, and my only criteria is “enjoyment”, which is already difficult for me.
I’m also someone who easily gives 10s, so expect almost always “good” ratings. Heck, why would someone even continue watching shows that he find “bad”? Well, if you’re a masoch- a no-drop club member like me, you’ll find an opportunity to do so…
In addition, I’m still an amateur both in writing and reviewing. So, expect some serious shit. Feel free to be harsh, critic and insult. Feedback is always appreciated, especially if it is
Now, I beg you, please enjoy this. Be it for my grammatical errors, my patethic attempt to be a blogger or because you’re bored. Or else I’ll feel quite depressed.
Yeah… by nature I’m quite pessimistic…
Index (ordered by ranking):
*NATURALLY, THESE ARE ALL MY PERSONAL THOUGHTS, THUS YOU ARE FREE TO DISAGREE, INSULT MY SENSE OF TASTE OR DO MANY OTHER THINGS. i’LL ACCEPT IT, AS DIFFERENT TASTES EXIST IN THIS FREE WORLD.* What I wish the most is to discuss about anime though.

Re:Creators Episode 4 (9.5)
Well. What to say? I’m really loving it. This is entirely a subjective opinion, I totally understand that it has its flaws, but as I make “enjoyment” my criteria, it’s at the top of my list.
We get to see Meteora’s character development, alongside a long and really interesting theory on her part. The Great Destruction: as the world won’t be able to “correct” these anomalies, that are the “translations” of creations, it will soon reset itself, to bring order once again.
Just beautiful. Be it art, animation, MUSIC (OH, GOD. THE MUSIC. THE FREAKING OP ALONE IS ENOUGH!), the concept, the characters, the MUSIC (yes, I have to repeat it), etc. I love it all.
Let’s all listen to its glorious Opening while reading this so called post! (If the link is dead, well, it means something happened, so I suggest just searching it on Youtube)
But, to try to be a little more objective, I won’t give it a full 10, as I’ve in reality never regarded any anime, but maybe Steins;Gate or TTGL as true masterpieces. So… 9.5! “Great/Masterpiece”!
Hungry, aren’t we? What a beautiful pizza.

Shingeki no Kyojin S2 Episode 5 (9.5)
HOLY. FUCKING. SHIT. Finally, I’m starting to feel again that tension and hype of first season.
I actually thought I watched the wrong episode in the beginning though. But it was just a flashback about Ymir and Christa’s past, huh. Thus is explained how Ymir knew about the suicidal drive of Christa… but why? Just why would she wish that? Well, I’m not exactly the best person to condemn one for wanting to suicide…
Anyways! After the flashback we finally return to the caged tower, and FUCKING YMIR YOU BECOME A TITAN.
Well, a short Titan (pfff, ok no). It was amazing seeing her trying to save everyone, not even trying to bring down the tower. You gained my deepest respect Ymir.
Then, Christa finally shows her guts! And the tower is brought down, over the swarm of Titans, but they quickly stand up again and shit gets real. Ymir is getting devoured by everyone and Christa is in danger BUTTTTTTT
MIKASA-SAMA CAMES AND SAVES THE DAY!!!! (While Eren falls trying to look cool). Reinforces are here! The scene was so freaking epic I was singing
SASAGEYO! SASAGEYO! SHINZOU WO SASAGEYO! SASAGEYO!
OH. MY FUCKING GOD!!! A FLY JUST BECAME A DRAGON!!!!
Seriously though, the OP is so fucking amazing I’m actually conflicted which I love the most between the Re:Creators one and this. Screw it! I love both.
Did… Ymir just die?!? Please no. There is so much I want to know! And we get to know Christa’s true name?! Historia… I see. The title wasn’t for show, huh. What a beautiful name for a gorgeous and amazing girl.
We finally are getting on track with this episode. I hope it gets even greater and amazing. A 9.5 for now, it got already better compared to first episodes, mainly because there weren’t many MCs?
RETURN TO INDEX
Seikaisuru Kado Episode 4 (8/9)
The episode revolved around the result of having infinite energy (Wam) given. Naturally everyone would liket to have it(?), so UN demands Japan to give it to them, in order to manage and control the new unlimited source of energy.
Japan is unsure, so UN basically declare war. But, our lord and saviour Shindo, with the help of the alien/God zaShunina, is going to screw them over. I want to believe.
Great episode, the show was already quite good. But now it seems the pace will get quicker, as one does not simply stays still when you’re given infinite energy.
8/9, “Great/Really Good” episode. Oh, and Tsukai is cute. Not to mention OP and ED are really good.
RETURN TO INDEX
Quan Zhi Gao Shou Episode 5 (8.5)
Another episode of Ye Xiu’s badness. But we have a new characte: Su Mucheng! Who answered the call of MC, alongside the dude who loves bricks (I seriously love him, it’s just so hilarous) and the newbie xiao Tang, to regain the time-record broken by another guild who is searching for death.
Sasuga! It was her!
Animations stunning as usual, even the one reused. Can’t really say much about it. I really like, even though I see its shortcomings. McDonalds items are delicious to see by the way.
My score for this episode is 8.5, “Good/Great”. I think it will get even better though, at least according to what readers of the CN say (though it skipped LOT of content).
RETURN TO INDEX
Boku no Hero Academia Episode 5 (8+)
As a manga reader, I’m quite satisfied by this adaptation. But this also mean that I’m unable to properly judge the series as only an anime. Oh, well. Who cares.
The battle is mainly between the OP Todoroki VS Midoriya and Bakugou VS a dude of class B (my… memory), whose quirk is even more OP in my opinion, as “copying” and “nullifying” powers are the best (and most chuunibyou like).
Midoriya lost his headband and forced Todoroki to use his “left side”, showing his better ability to control One for All, but it’s Bakugou who matured the most in my opinion: using tactics and his companions quirks at their best to steal the stolen headband, while also keeping at bay (as much as he can, either way, it’s definitely better than before) hir rage? That’s some growth.
It’s exciting seeing both battles, especially the last part where it becomes Bakugou VS Midoriya VS Todoroki. What a pity that… time’s up. First place Todoroki, second Bakugou, third who? Oh, well. Midoriya wasn’t able to get back his own, but thanks to his skills and companions, was able to get fourth place. Nice job!
Then we end with a confrontation between the 1# and 2# heroes, in parallel with their “legacies”.
Umu, I’m satisfied. I really liked this episode, just like the whole series until now. So, an 8+ for now.
Also, it seems the fountain crying way is a family thing, huh… (after credits part).
RETURN TO INDEX
Saekano S2 Episode 3 (8+)
Another episode of the quite fan-service-ish show, Saekano. My opinion is already set up form first season though, that is, really good. MC is quite generic, but that’s exactly why most of us can relate to it I suppose? Not to mention, he’s actually trying to become a creator, combining what he loves with the useful. Just like another series of this season that I greatly enjoy, Re:Creators.
This episode MC continues to … with the support of the basically already in set future winner/wife Megumi (I’m on Senpai’s team though), and the music band members (who remembers them? I definitely not), the script is successfully implemented into the VN. This permits our Mr. Ethical to get some kind of enlightment, which, I have to say, really surprised me.
I honestly would have chosen the second draft, but he rejected both! Saying that it needs to be rewritten, as it is a crap game. I suppose that they would have been great novels, but bad when combined with music, pictures and other elements of a VN?
Seeing Kumikaoga-sempai’s espression, really broke my heart (after credits).
Either way, you pleasantly surprised me MC. As my score was already high to begin with, I can’t really give it more than 8+. Really good, keep up with it. By the way, the scoring is heavily biased by the fact that the MC is an otaku. Everyone likes seeing relatable characters, right?

Eromanga-sensei Episode 4 (8)
Wow! Seriously Ero! But I still like it! LOOL, I can’t stop but laugh at their relationship! Sagiri explaining herself with drawings and Onii-chan writing Light novel about her!
Umu, seeing Izumi and Yamada’s efforts make me understand. Understand how pitiful I am to think that writing things in a horrible way for just a week or so would give me results immediately.
…AHHHHAHAAHAHAHAH HE WROTE A FUCKING LOVE LETTER TO HIS SISTERRRRR!!! And she was shut in her room studying for her brother. WHAT’S WITH THISSS!?? Both were thinking about losing each others? This misunderstanding… Ohh.. My heart… I seriously love the characters of this show.
OOOUCHHH! You’re killing Nii-san here. Why do I think that someone is him though?
And he wants to publish his love letter, make it an anime and WATCH IT TOGETHER WITH HER SISTER?!! That’s quite the otrageous idea.
I am seriously enjoying this show. When I actually watch it, my mind and heart are full of emotions. I laugh, I feel frustrated, I feel happy, I feel sad with them. My score for this episode is a full 8, “Really Good”. Way to go!
And to think, that before the season started I thought it wouldn’t be so good, but almost “Fine” or “Good”. What a pleasant surprise.

Tales of Zestiria the X S2 Episode 13 [FINALE] (8-)
Umu, so it ends. Studio Ufotable did the same thing for GOD EATER too… though in that case it was far worse. But quality has a price I suppose? (please stop the joke of “unlimited budget”, I really find annoying when people lower other’s hard work and efforts to simply “they had money”, or “talent” in other cases).
So, we were at the final confrontation with Last Boss. Sorey, as your usual MC, uses the power of bonds to overcome the difficultes and power up (though, dear Heldalf, what exactly were you waiting while he was transforming? Oh, I see. You too were stunned by the beautiful animations).
In a stunning and visually pleasing battle with lots of techinques, skills and other beautiful acts (added to the OP playing in the background) he’s able to finish off Lord of Calamity/Malevolence incarnated/Heldalf in five minutes!? …or not.
As expected from the last boss, he suddenly get reanimated, as you know, malevolence can’t really be finished off. Since it is infinite, to be more precise human‘s malevolence is unlimited, Sorey can’t do anything but choose to seal him temporarely with him, to slowly purify him. But he isn’t dead. Maybe we wil see him soon?
Then, as a last episode, we get to see how other characters continue to live their life after the adventure. Alisha became Queen, and seriously lool like Saber (just why the hell do I continue seeing Saber everywhere!? Is it because there are too many Saber faces in the Fate/ universe already!?). Woah, they become even more beautiful.
Hmm, I’m a sucker for these kind of endings. All is good, and thus The Legend was born.
Nicely done. I’m really satisfied. Although it seemed quite rushed (never played the game), and for weird reasons we got 2 episodes of Berseria, I enjoyed the series a lot. I rate this episode 8-, mainly because of the stunning animations though (as the story itself was only mildly interesting in my sincerest and humbly opinion). While for overall anime, I give it a 7.5, or maybe a little more. Either way, on MAL it will be 8 because there aren’t decimal there…
By the way, I seriously would like to write a post only for this episode. Too bad reality is seriously crushing me. What a pain in the ass it is. Why can’t I simply do the things I enjoy? I almost feel like I’m offending the anime…..?! What am I saying? I should visit a psychologist…

Clockwork Planet Episode 4 (7/8)
I’ll be frank. The setting is really interesting, and so are the characters. The thing is… the art. It’s not bad or ugly, but I just can’t take the show seriously while seeing it. That aside, after a first not-too-good impression (like most of this season’s show), I think it got on the right track in episode 3 especially. The love confession was incredibly cute. Their lovey-dovey behaviour is really cute too.
In this week’s episode, we see this love manifesting: after understanding that the purge can’t be avoided (why again?) unless with the use of RyuZu’s Imagery Gear, Naoto firmly refuses to sacrifice her (or taking the risk to put her in danger). This really hit me hard, in a good way. For some reasons I was pleasantly surprised, perhaps my opinion was low and I didn’t expect this? This is the joy of not dropping anime.
Everything to save Naoto.
Oh and, am I weird for liking these kind of epithets? “One who follows”. I like it. One who will protect his master for eternity. And thus, she sacrifice herself, saving everyone. But naturally she is saved, and awakes once again, just to be reunited to his beloved master.
Can you feel how I’m liking this? Oh, and it seems a new character will be introduced in next episode. By the way, I really like the OP too, and ED is nice (not as much as OP though).
Great OP scene.
In conclusion, Clockwork Planet keep rising in my humble opinion. From “Average” to almost “Really Good” or more. It’s a 7/8 for me then!

Alice to Zouroku Episode 5 (7/8)
We continue from the appearance of new young woman, who came to save Alice. And holy kaw! if she’s strong. Episodes full of action are good. Really nice animations. Not to mention we get to see another “Gate of-” versus “Gate of-“. If you’ve watched enough anime, you will understand what I’m talking about.
I’ve seen firearms before, but hands? That’s new. But not really surprising, heck nothing will ever surprise me more than the glorious Keijo!!!’s HIP OF BABYLON with an artillery of asses. Seriously, go watch it and then read it.
Anyways, Shizuku is strong! Not OP like Alice (heck, you can create “anything”?!), but still really powerful: 666 weapons and 13 grimores! And from a Maid Mahou Shoujo! Oh, well. Tachibana’s Unlimited Hands Work get supressed and she is arrested.
Alice is also understanding that she wishes to become humans, to understand them, to be with Zouroku (this is really sweet, but it makes me feel weird somehow, …who cares?), simply… the wish to continue living.
Everything is nice and good now. I suppose we finished first arc? Well, I’m liking this series. It’s slowly getting better in my opinion. For now, the episode gets a 7/8 for me, a little more and you will be “Really Good”!

Rokudenashi Majutsu Koushi to Akashic Records Episode 4 (7.5)
Here’s the anime that surprised the most this season. After a bad first impression, it quickly gained my favour. Really recommend to not drop it after only one episode.
This episode starts a new arc, and we begin with a Magic Competition. Quite the happy and tranquil episode, which is good once in a while. But this peace, won’t probably last, huh. I’m hyped for the scenes of the OP.
Nice episode, although not as exciting as the 2nd or the 3rd, still good nonetheless! 7.5! “Good/Really Good” rating.
Ending card.

DanMachi Gaiden – Sword Oratoria Episode 3 (7.5)
Hm… to tell the truth, I’m not really expecting much from this, as it is a side series of the main one. Although I am interested in Ais’s side of events.
We also have another main character(?), a not too much expert caster who admires Ais. It reminds me of Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko from Toaru Kagaku no Railgun (spin off as well), though the Lefiya isn’t as aggressive as Kuroko…
It is actually nice seeing how the two series interwine though. Fumu, Ais get punished for training too late, and the punishment is a date with Loki-sama. But the date, is destined to be interrupted by Ganesha’s beasts outbreak.
Seeing Lefiya’s frustration really reminds me of Bell. Nice to see her resolve, always admiring Ais and yet wanting to fight at her side. Fight on… Summon Burst: it allows to duplicate an infinite number of other spells…!? Thousand Elf?!?
Lefiya, the Thousand Elf
I rectify, she has at least enough talent to be at her side. Bell (at least until what anime covered) isn’t really that strong (though his ability to get more EXP is great, but I’m a sucker for copying or nullifying abilities).
Hou? The monster they fought weren’t all form Freya-sama? This… is actually getting a little interesting.
Compared to the first two episodes, I like this more. Perhaps because we saw Lefiya’s growth? Umu, my score is: 7.5 “Good”.

Oushitsu Kyoushi Haine Episode 4 (7.5)
The episode seemed to be just like another. And it was for the first half, all the princes (well, almost all. As someone goes there already) take the first step in the city, to see first-hand their kingdom. After sightseeing, and stopping a purse snatcher, sensei enlighten them about the wondrous of their kingdom. Which I really liked.
He is then officially welcomed by the royal family.
Really nice episode in my opinion. A 7.5, halfway to “Really Good”. Keep it up!
RETURN TO INDEX
Tsugumomo Episode 5 (7+)
Ho. Tsugumomo. As a manga reader, I’m quite happy to see it animated, I was really worried about the censorship though. The manga is really, really good, especially the art, but it is heavily ecchi parts, and nonetheless the story is incredibly interesting. So, I strongly suggest to read it.
I like how the anime cleverly avoid the cursed steam or the sudden beams of light with various strategems, like showing only partially things, covering them with objects or showing it indirectly. That’s how ecchi should be. I would like to compare this well done element with the Sin: Nanatsu no Taizai’s one… if you ever watched the latter, you then can understand how painful is it to watch it.
Well, anyways. The episode. After the weakening of Kiriha, Kazuya is forced to train, as it seems like his skills during the battle with the Loli Water God were only a fluke. We also discover that the “girl” we saw during first episode was actually… school council president…. that’s huh.. unexpected.
Genius! Four-eyes-kun is a Genius!
Four Eyes-kun is also really likeable. Can’t help but find funny whenever he talk with Kazuya. Then an Amasogi trap them, but who cares about that. The matter is resolved thanks to MC’s training result and four-eyes’s great drawing skills. I really like his character. Oh, and I actually thought the place Loli-God-sama would go to, would have been Kazuya’s house. That was quite unexpected. Too influeced by the troupes I suppose.
Nice episode overall. I like it. Although nothing really extraordinary happened, I think it’s “Good”, or maybe more. Thus 7+.

Uchoten Kazoku S2 Episode 4 (7+)
Heh, not angry at all. The new Tengu is simply too good. I fucking love him already. Nice to see Benten reaction too.
Fumu, we get to see a Shogi game with Tanuki transformed? Weird traditions, or maybe they are just bored? Huh. Can’t they enjoy a game without making problems? Seriously… another event is ruined once again.
Umu. Good as always. Although I really can’t relate to that free spirit/will of Yasaburo, as I’m chained down by reality. Though I like how he roots for his brother.
Wait, what? The Shogi set has a black hole in it?
It’s a 7+ for me, a little more than simply “Good”.

Shingeki no Bahamut Virgin Soul Episode 4 (7+)
So, Azazel got his ass beaten, met Nina, hugged her and transformed her into the dragon. Umu. She really doesn’t remember anything while being little Bahamut, huh. Wait, I thought being able to transform into dragon was somehow connected to being Favaro’s student, but in reality she was an half? Wait, an entire clan of dragon exist
Oh, Holy Maiden! It’s so nice seeing Jeanne d’Arc. Also SHE HAD A CHILD?!? Have I forgotten something? Nevermind my memory, I’m a little conflicted inside…
Hou, did Azazel truly have a change of heart in after credits scene? Nah, I’m more convinced he’s just faking it, or everything is part of a greater plan.
My opinion of the anime didn’t really change much. I did really like seeing Jeanne again, but that aside. It was “good” in my opinion, so 7+.
Ending card:

Renai Boukun Episode 4 (7+)
Ahh, one of the best colorful and funny comedy of this season in my opinion. As a manga reader, I went in already knowing what was I expecting (yandere+angel+kiss note+little sister loving onee-sama+little sister liking brother+rapist-demon-penguins+cat with human/angelic face+ero-sadists+etc. etc.), and I have to say, that I’m quite satisfied by what the anime adaptation delivered until now.
After a first part where we get to see Yuzu’s past, the show get really dark with Shikimi, the erotic-sadistic we caught a glimpse of during episode 3. And as expected from an S, she starts torturing our poor MC, who is immortal and can’t really die… uh. It got quite dark suddenly, didn’t it?
Nfu-fu-fu..
Oh, well. I quite enjoyed the episode.
7+, more than simply “Good”.
RETURN TO INDEX
Hinako Note Episode 4 (7+)
This series is just… so cute. As a slice of life heart-warming and soul-healing show, there really isn’t much to say (I may able to express my reliefs with weird noises though, but I don’t think that’s what you’re searching for).
The soothing tale of our scarecrow, continue in this episode with a training session of dance/gymnastics(?). Just to reveal the beautiful singing skills of Hinako-chan, which makes her eligible for the role of heroine!
Though I foresee some hardships with her shyness. Also, advisor going keikaku doori (just as planned) means she has some kind of solution?
Oh, and both OP and ED are quite catchy. Which is only a plus. The fact that you can find them on Youtube without the fear of them getting deleted at any time helps too.
Still “good”. As many others anime of this genre, it’s quite difficult to have the highest scores, but are easily in the range of “good”-“really good” anime (for me at least). So, a 7+ for now.
RETURN TO INDEX
Granblue Fantasy The Animation Episode 5 (7+)
Let’s talk about the mobile game anime adaptation then. The art and animation are quite good, so are the OST and the OP (seriously good). It was worth to wait for this quality.
Returning to episode 5, Gran and co. are going to confront Tiamat to save the island. Umu. It won’t be that easy I suppose. As expected, Tiamat doesn’t really like to be obedient, huh. Interferences perhaps? Yep, that purple crystal was the cause. Why do I find Tiamat cute? Oh, well. ALL 2D IS CUTE.
Beautiful AND cute.
Nice episode! I could feel the quality. Hm??? Why did I say that? No idea. For some reasons I can’t not notice the fluid animations. No seriously. I have no idea why the hell this is the first thought that came to mind. Oh, well. Who cares about that. We can finally say that the journey begins, Captain Gran? ED is also freaking beautiful. It makes me feel nostalgic for some reasons.
Anyways, a 7+ for me, perhaps more. So more than “Good”.

Sakurada Reset Episode 4 (7-)
To tell the truth, I’m not entirely understanding what exactly is happening. But sincerely, I just said “screw it” at least a dozen of times. I will FEEL this anime, while trying to understand it, just like Aquation or Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (now, please don’t tell me you seriously went and analyzed how the fuck they were throwing galaxies as shuriken).
Anyways, after the time skip, I think I sterted to enjoy it a little more, but still quite uninteresting. Episode 4 blew my  mind though. I was really, really surprised by this turn of events.
From the ruthless choice of Kei to actually sacrifice himself (well not really, but he actually died so…) to the tears of Misora while seeing the scene but still doing nothing because MC didn’t “order” her anything. I was quite shocked.
!!! HOLY!
So, for this episode my rate is higher than the usual I give it: 7-. Almost a full “Good” for me. Nicely done. You suprised me.
RETURN TO INDEX
Kyoukai no Rinne S3 Episode 4 (6/7)
Well, Kyoukai no Rinne it’s already at season 3. So if you’re watching it you should already know what to expect from it. Comedy (usually average, but sometimes really funny) mainly about the poverty of the MC. Oh, and he’s a Shinigami.
By the way, he has a crush.
The episode this time is about part-timer clayrovant “Ane” and her crystal sphere, which it seems like it can malfunction as it is quite old already. Her peeping ball is the real thing actually. I suppose a new recurring character is introduced then? Well, funny as usual. So, my initial score won’t change: a 6/7, “Good/Nice”.
RETURN TO INDEX
Gin no Guardian Episode 5 (6/7)
Hm, to begin. I’m a sucker for short anime. So my opinion is already quite positive just for this reason. First episode was quite interesting, but mysterious. After episode 2 onwards, we get to see little by little the events that brought forth the fact of episode 1.
With this episode, we are basically one step away from episode 1 (what a weird way to say it). I’m also quite happy to see finally MC getting some “wealth”. Oh, and you get her father’s approval too! Condolences for his death, but I have to admit he was a great man. And thus begin the confrontation!(?)
I’m so interested in seeing how he got there.
Oh, and I like the Ending theme.
My score is 6/7, a “Good/Nice” rating.
RETURN TO INDEX
Berserk (2017) Episode Episode 5 (6/7)
Oh, Berserk. The manga masterpiece get adapted into anime. Wondrous news, right? Nope. Sorry to say, but I really hate adaptation that ruins the image of their orinal sources. This Berserk is a perfect example. The story is really good, and that’s the only thing that keep me invested. No, wait. The music is also quite nice.
My comments about this show will probably be the same for the whole season: great story, bad animation. I would really like to see this as an “anime” alone, and not an adaptation. Sadly, it isn’t possible. So, as a manga reader, watching this is quite painful. An anime isn’t formed by only the scenario or the story though… as a visual medium, art take a good chunk of its overall rating. So I can’t really give it more than 6/7, which is a “Good/fine” for now.
Just look at that beautiful art. It makes the original’s hide from its… peculiarity. Fuck it, I’ll just get used to it.

Atom: The Beginning Episidoe 3 (5/6)
Huh. I wasn’t really expecting much from this show, and I have to say I haven’t been surprised yet. It’s quite average, even though enjoyable to a limited extent.
So, we get a detective and a race begins to resolve a case of lost robo-pet. Huh. Yeah, it is sweet and all, but can’t really say it was good. Last episode was better in my opinion. A 5/6 for me “Fine/Average”.
RETURN TO INDEX
Sakura Quest Episode 4 (5/6)
Umu. Sakura Quest… Well the story is about a job-crawling young woman, Yoshino Koharu, who get a job in the countryside to pose as the queen of the little town.
Our Queen isn’t pleased.
She didn’t actually read the contract and thus is now forced to work there for a year. Far away from her beloved Tokyo, as she seems to have some kind of thing against rural town? Well, anyways, after an initial confrontation she accept her role (more or less) and slowly remembers that she had been there once.
I think it was really uninteresting at the beginning, to only gain some pace with episode 3, but we returned to the quite average story-telling with this. It may because I watched this some days ago, but episode 4 is less memorable then the first to tell the truth. Not really much to say then, personally it’s more than average, thus a 5/6, almost a “Fine” episode.
RETURN TO INDEX
Twin Angel Break Episode 4 (5/6)
Showy, colorful, classical Mahou Shoujo!
The show is… quite average in my opinion. Although it’s quite colorful and OP is really catchy. So it’s not completely mediocre.
We have two Mahou Shoujo, thus the “Twin” in the title: Meguru (our MC) and Sumire. It is a true and classical Mahou Shoujo show, meaning, you won’t find darkness and despair like in other shows, which I won’t mention to avoid spoilers. And that’s why I do not find it exactly entertaining, it’s nice, but not for me.
This episode was more… eventful, it still wasn’t able to make me involved. Not memorable at all, the only thing I remember is that the “bad guy” of this episode was an arrogant self-proclamed dude, who, expecting all girls falling over him while talking about equations (I admit it, I actually found that part a little hilarous), fell in love with Sumire, our blue mahou shoujo.
It is not “bad”, but simply not impactful enough to leave a deep impression on me. Anyways, for now it’s a 5/6 for me. Maybe a little more. Since, even if it’s boring, if I were to choose between “good” or “bad” I would choose “Good”.

Busou Shoujo Macchiavellianism Episode 4 (5-)
This episode, was truly disappointing. In reality, after episode 1, this show got worser. It was exciting to see the action scenes, but it then became full of Harem parts.
The sumo-part was barely enjoyable, but still somehow funny. The little laughs were quite unnerving. And the new soon-to-be-part-of-the-harem-loli, wasn’t really interesting.
Sorry, but this episode is less than average for me. A 5-, but after seeing first episode, and the meeting with Amou, I am really expecting it to get better.
Please save this anime.

Sin: Nanatsu no Taizai Episode 3 (4.5)
Sadly, I’ve decided to stop writing detailed and with many pictures posts about this show. Mainly because writing so many posts is seriously taxing on body, and would rather refrain from just posting for the lols and ecchi pictures.
Now, first thing to know is: I quite dislike it. The amount of H is too much, but that’s not really the main problem, as there are shows with lots of ecchi that I like. The point is… that I can’t really see an interesting story here, or at least yet. Not to mention that I STILL HAVEN’T A NORMAL SIZED BREAST GIRL (between the main ones, that is)! Why do they just have to be so… obscene? As you may have noticed, I’m not really too fond of cow-sized breasts. Subjective point, but still relevant IMO.
Passing on the episode, what to say if… there was a great amount of H-scenes. Need to mention the pole-stripping-show-challenge between Levi and Asmodeus, who then becomes a Lucifer’s follower and beliver. Oh, and there was ecchi, other ecchi and did I mention the ecchi parts yet?
Ending card:
Remember to get the superior version.
Sarcasm aside, my vote score for this is a 4.5 I would say. So a “Bad-Average” show. Mostly because, i can’t really say I didn’t enjoy it, but you can understand how Ecchi isn’t what I’m searching for in an anime. It can be complementary, but it definitely can’t be the main topic. I still have a slight hope of the show getting better, or a real story.

Kabukibu! Episode 4 (3)
I was actually expecting something like Rakugou… but this show… this show is actually really bad. Or at least, it has become a pain to watch it. And I’m really stupid to continue watching something I find bad, but I’m a masoc- no drop club member.
I belive, no I WANT to belive in the potential of all anime. Maybe in the ending this show will be amazin? Anyways for now you don’t get more than 3, “Very Bad”, sorry.

Fuuu. And that’s done… not at all! I simply wrote the latest ones I watched! I seriously apologize to the episodes I wasn’t able to comment on, such as Grimoire of Zero, World End, Tsuki ga Kirei, Kenka Banchou Otome, Little Witch Academia, ect. Some of which I really like too! Damn it…
But I have seriously no time anymore. I spent so many hours basically doing comments/review/recommendation and putting them together, which wasn’t my initial intention at all! I just wanted to make a ranking, but then I thought it should be better to say why I put them in that order, and then for some reasons I wrote an essay…hahaha… at least you can see my love for anime, i want to hope…
See you next time, which may be not too soon. As I have to study for over 3 tests, nah, they will probably increase, as teachers just love to make multiple tests per month…
I can’t understand whether I’m satisfied or going crazy. I feel like both actually.
This slideshow requires JavaScript.
Hope someone read this post…
I seriously have to revise the ranking post, or else I’ll die. While seeing the works of my more experienced senpai, the one I loved the most was Prattle-senpai’s: the choices of categories’ names is simply glorious.
So, if I will ever try this again, it will probably be different from this post.

So this afternoon -in the wake of all the June heat- I happened across a cute little tutorial about how to create embroidered felt flowers. 
Naturally, I was instantly enchanted, and thought, “I’ve gotta do at least one flower this weekend!” I’ll be in the 100-yen store anyways, and they always have packages of monochromatic felt sets: plus, they’ve recently gotten in some nice linen that, even though a dollar, works well as a stitching canvas.
So, what flower will I be making? 
Well... let me tell you!
So June in Japan typically means one thing: no holidays.
I joke, I joke! (Not really: I need a holiday y’all). 
June in Japan actually brings the rainy season, which means that for at least two weeks -sometimes, up to a month- the country is doused in rain that helps to protect the rice fields through upwards of 90 days -July to September- of wicked, humid heat and gusting gales from the looming typhoons.
Admist all of the splendor of a rainy June are one of my favorite flowers: hydrangeas.
I love the range of colors: pinks, purples, and white. Lime green, playful red, and soft blues that can lean green-blue or blue-purple. Tons of them pop up everywhere I go, drinking in all the refreshing rain. 
(There’s even a festival I’ll be going to this year centered around hydrangeas: maybe I’ll bring my little project with me to take some pictures!)
I’d really like to take a moment this weekend to make a small piece that’s a bit more 3D than my typical embroidery. I’ve actually been wanting to have a wall piece, and it looks liket his is something that I can work up in a weekend. (Plus, it’ll help me start digging into my overflowing box of 100-yen store embroidery floss!!)
Even in the heat, I still love creating and crafting: if it can be stitched, I wanna do it! Hopefully, this little venture won’t be my last!
