#What’s this ship name? Idfk I’ll come up with one

[solazu1]

they’ve taken over my brain as with everything

and they were roommates :0

[noemilivv]

Hi 👋

I saw your requests were open again! If you're up for it, would you do a fluff oneshot for Husk x reader?

Iike maybe they're hosting a ball and the Hazbin crew has to get all dressed up and the reader dances with Husk.

Kinda got inspo from the ballroom scene from Beauty and the beast.

If not, it's totally cool and I look forward to what you put out next! 😊

the timing is funny considering i’m doing the musical for beauty and the beast rn haha anyway this is so cute, and husk is my boo, so ofc i’ll do this for you!!

this gives off the vibes of one of my hazbin hotel oc’s so bad, so i’m sorry if the reader is a little more, detailed(?) than most of my previous works😭

i had so many inspo pics for each characters fits, so i put links to pics on the side for some of them, hope that it’s not too jarring haha

“I’m not too good at this…”

Husk x Reader

Warnings: Fem!Reader (i’m so sorry to my male or other identifying readers😭), Swearing, S1 Finale Spoilers, Chaggie (Charlie x Vaggie), Pentious x Cherri (idfk their ship name), platonic Rosie and Alastor

You checked your appearance in the mirror attached to your vanity one last time, you fluffed out your hair, which Charlie had been so generous to curl for you, and fixed up the edges of your lip gloss.

Ever since the hotel had been rebuilt, a lot more traction came along with it, and Charlie and Alastor insisted on hosting an ‘opening ball’ sort of thing for the reopening for the new hotel.

You dusted off your glittery, rose gold dress one last time (which for reference, looked like this), admiring the gems placed in your hair one last time, before hurrying out of your room, and down into the lobby, which was redecorated for this special occasion.

You see Charlie and immediately go to hug her, even though you got ready with her, as well as Vaggie, this is the first time you really got to soak in her appearance. Her hair was up in a French braid, it suited her oddly well, as for the dress? Her dress was very, well, her — it was princess-y, had some lace, but was a bright pink (which looked similar to this)

“Hey girl!” you said excitedly, as you pulled her to you, you could feel her smile softly in the crook of your neck, you pull back and grin at her, your hands rest on the sides of her arms briefly as she grins back at you, “You look awesome!” You said, she really did, she was very naturally pretty, there wasn’t an ounce of makeup on her face other than a few subtle coats of mascara, which you only noticed due to the lack of distance between you both. “Me? Pfff, stop. Look at you!” She says, giving a bashful giggle, more people begin to fill in, and music starts blaring, you both turn over to see Cherri over at the DJ booth — the guy Charlie had paid had gotten a bit too…high before the gig, so Cherri was a last minute decision.

“I should go, there’s a lot of, important people here I need to talk to, we need to catch up though!” Charlie said with a small chuckle, “Sure thing!” You reply before you begin walking around to find your next victim who’s going to listen to you talk their ear off until you get bored.

As you walk, you see a lot of folks that you wouldn’t expect to see, Rosie and Alastor are talking, Mimzy’s banging it out on the dance floor, and even Velvette decided to show up (the other two Vee’s weren’t invited for…clear reasons).

You see that Cherri took a break from DJing, as Alastor used some of his magic from his new and improved cane to have it do it on its own, after Adam snapped the last one in half.

Cherri’s chatting with Angel and Pentious, who which you never thought would come down for this after being redeemed, and excitedly you go up to them.

“Pen, Angel, Cherri!” You shout out as you approach them, “Hello, my friend, I haven’t ssseen you ssssince the battle! Quite the time, hehe!” Pentious said, giving you a side hug, which was a lot more awkward than you both would’ve liked.

“Heya, bitch!” Cherri said, nudging ya softly, as Angel gives you a small nod of acknowledgement.

“So, Pentious, how are things up in Heaven?” You asked curiously, a bit louder than you would’ve like, having to yell over the blaring music.

“Sssssplendid! I get back rubs every day!” He exclaimed. Odd. But that’s Sir Pentious for you.

Cherri and Pentious go off to have their own conversation, not wanting to third wheel, you more so turn your attention to Angel, who is looking quite bad ass. “Loving the look, Ange!”

He smirks, “You’re rocking your fit too, toots.” he says back, giving you a toothy grin. He had a baby pink blazer on, with a matching crop top underneath that pronounced his fluff, with matching pants and black heeled boots (like this.)

“You seen Husk anywhere?” He asked, glancing around the darkly-lit lobby for the grumpy cat. “Actually, now that I think about it, no, I don’t think I have. Why?” You said, beginning to go back into your memory to remember if you saw him last.

“Jus’ cuz, I know how you look at eachother, it’d be like a little romantic moment. Swaying on the dance floor, holding eachother, eh?” Angel said with a soft, playful grin, nudging your arm.

“I have no idea what you’re talking about.” You say, a soft grin playing on your lips, yes, you do know what he’s talking about, a little too well.

“Sureeee…” He says, a knowing smile on his face, his head turns slightly. “There ‘e is.” He points to the far end of the room.

Husk is there, his shooing Niffty off as Vaggie goes to take her, a bottle in his hands.

“Go get ‘em, tiger!” Angel says, pushing you over.

“Hey.” You smile, Husk looks at you, a small smile tugging at his lips. “Hey, whatcha up to?”

“Not much, just trying to make a point to talk to everyone.” You say, chuckling softly.

His smile remains, before looking away, and then back at you, a…discombobulated look on his face. “Ey, I’m not too great this, ain’t done this shit since I was alive.” He starts, chuckling softly, “But, er…” He holds out his paw to you, a loving, affection smile on his face that tugs at your heartstrings, “Will you, have a dance with me?”

You grin widely, before taking his paw, “Yeah.. I will.”

As you both approach the dance floor, the music begins to slow down, as people take their partners in their arms and hold them close, cherishing a romantic moment.

Husk pulls you in by the waist with one paw, the other hand holding your own, as you both begin to sway.

You look around, too flustered to look at Husk, you smile at the sight of all the lovely pairs.

Cherri’s with Pentious, as he’s tripping over her as she chuckles softly in his embrace, Rosie and Al are sharing a lovely moment as friends, talking amongst themselves, and Vaggie and Charlie are holding eachother close, closing the gap to share an intimate kiss.

Your eyes skim over Husk, it was the first real time you’d seen him in, actual clothes…

He wore black trousers, with a fitted white buttoned shirt, with a red tie and suspenders.

Hesitation was written all over Husks face, you’d never seen him in such a state, he sighed before speaking, “Look, I’ve never been into all this,” he said, gesturing to the scenery before you both. “But quite frankly, my heart beats for you, and I’d really like to work something out for us.” He stated, a soft and… nervous(?) smile tugged at the ends of his lips.

“I’d… really like that.”

Before you both know it, the ball ends, and Husk takes you up to your room, you’re both slightly tipsy, giggling at simply the presence of eachother, Husk stops at your door.

He looks at you before pecking your forehead, smiling proudly to both himself, and you, “Sweet dreams, doll, I’ll see you in the morning.”

Is sparxshipping toxic?

I’m not sure what sparxed it but I just started to think about the, debatably, infamous ship between Bloom and Valtor. And while this is a strange post to suddenly come back with (hah, assuming I even stay active after this) I might as well ride the sudden jump in interest.

Also, take this as a revision to my past (cringey) opinion on the ship. Quite honestly, I need to revisit a lot of those older posts (should I call them editorials? analysis maybe? Idfk I’ll come up with a name for them later) Dear God, they are so bad and poorly thought out urghhh

Anyways...

To start us off, what is sparxshipping?

Sparxshipping is the romantic pairing between protagonist Bloom and villain Valtor (Baltor in some versions). I will not be referring to season 8, mostly cause I don’t care for it, and partly cause I honestly forgot what even happened 💀

We meet Valtor in season 3, where he’s trying to steal various forms of magic from the different kingdoms in the magic dimension. Throughout this season we learn that he was made, by using the Dragon Flame, by the three ancestral witches to destroy Domino. Obviously making him more to Bloom, than just another villain.

Why do people ship them?

Well, there’s the obvious. They fit the enemies to lover dynamic to a T. And because Valtor is basically a blank slate of a villain, like many of the villains in Winx, it’s easy to develop his character and story in a more sympathetic---and eventually, romantic---way. Speaking of which, it’s easy to assume that he’s never been shown to love, be affectionate, or really anything healthy or positive cause again, cartoon villain guy. And that, Bloom serves as an opportunity, not only for redemption, but to properly learn to show and give love.

They are very contrasting personalities, but have very similar mindsets---just used in different ways. Valtor is suave, calculated, and charming. Bloom is stubborn, headstrong, and optimistic. The both of them are overly dedicated, impatient, confident, and the lead in their groups.

Throughout the season, Valtor seems to have an interest in Bloom, to the point of sparing her continuously. Even his henchma’ams took notice (honestly when Icy said he was strangely obsessed with Bloom and then he just uno reversed that shit, really giving me Icy x Bloom X Valtor vibes ngl). He even offered for them to takeover together, to share the power he stole. And without context, yeah, you could see how that can be taken as romantic, to a degree. But you cannot forget that he’s a huge manipulator and, like making a deal with the devil, he will give you what you want for a price.

Why is it so toxic?

The first thing that comes to most people’s minds, is the age gap. And to be fair, I also used to thing there was a disgustingly large age gap between the two. They were really giving Edward & Bella vibes, if you know what I mean. But the truth is, they are about the same age. Honestly, I blame the art-style for making him look much older and Bloom the same as when she was 16.

Think about it, Valtor was made around the same time Bloom was born in order to destroy Domino. By definition they are the same or of a similar age. The thing about that though is, does that alleviate the power imbalance he could have over her?

There are various forms of power imbalances, the only ones I could think of that are applicable to these two is power, age, and experience. Age and experience are not the same thing, you don’t magically earn experience for being a certain age you aren’t literally leveling up lol.

For age, no, there is no power imbalance. As stated, they are practically the same age.

For experience, this is an interesting one. Since we really don’t know much about Valtor, we have no idea if he had to mentally develop the same way any born being would. It puts into question his experience. Cause while there are absolutely things he knows that Bloom does not, he’s also been “raised’ a certain way, therefore all he knows could be a very narrow mindset or form of knowledge. At the very least, he has the mental capacity and know how to manipulate people and take advantage of others. So, while it’s still debatable how much of a power imbalance this puts them at, he has the capability to control her and it really falls upon the writing, for how they deal with that.

Now power, I mean this mostly in terms of magic, but I’ll also try to touch on influence and physical means of power. Though they share the same source of power---which is part of what makes them shippable, their whole two sides of the same coin dynamic (which is arguably Icy and Bloom’s dynamic)---he abuses his power. But he means to horde knowledge to become more powerful and if he had succeeded, there would be nothing Bloom could do to stop him. I feel like the implications there are obvious. And to take it a different direction. Let’s say he does have all this power and Bloom inevitably caves and basks in it as well. There’s still an imbalance, because of potential entitlement & shaming Valtor might use to hold this gift over her head. Or simply that he fully controls her abilities and therefore a lot of her autonomy.

Now physically, he is a big dude capable of using his strength to force what he wants. Don’t get me wrong, just because you’re stronger than someone does not mean there’s an imbalance of power, just that, in that aspect, you do have power over someone and it comes down to morale. And given Valtor’s pitch poor morality, paired with his physical means, there is absolutely an imbalance in power. Albeit I don’t think he’s one to force his way physically, but only because it’s not as satisfying as tricking others--he’s like Naraku really.

Lastly, influence. This is definitely the least impactful. At least as he is in the series. His influence would only become an issue after taking over the world. He has all this control over everything and everyone, what is stopping him from doing that to Bloom or holding his status over her?

And probably the most important part. He kinda uhhhh, killed her parents. Yeah. Okay, technically he didn’t kill them. Just turned them to stone to forever be in between life and death, never truly being able to do either. Mhm. He also partook in the destruction of her home and, presumably, turning Daphne into a spirit.

In conclusion...

Now I don’t hate sparxshipping, not anymore at least. But as it stands in canon, yes, it’s pretty problematic. Though it’s not impossible to get around these issues, and any others I potentially missed (don’t blame me it’s been a while since I’ve watched). With some solid planning and writing, a dash of canon-divergence, and perhaps a touch of “fix-it” it is possible to make this ship not only romantic but also enjoyably healthy. On the flipside, there’s nothing wrong with writing about a toxic relationship, just be careful how you write it and what you may indirectly be implying through your writing.

Oh and if it’s an AU it’s basically fair game, an all you can eat buffet, a pile of gold, the jackpot, the crackpot, the...

Even in your own home, an assassination attempt could be made on your lives and the Port Mafia would not know until we found your cold bodies.”

Mori continued. “To ensure your safety, I have decided to station guards in your apartment. They will be there all hours of the day every day and work in shifts.”

The deal has already been sealed by the time he looks over his tea. For the love of any god that’s listening, he hopes the two transfers aren’t going to be anything like the rest of his class, and knows he’s wrong by the time he steps foot out the door.

(Or: Nedzu and Mori have an understanding, and everyone suffers for it).

“Nothing big really,” He drifts off, ears twitching. “We'll let you stay in the dorms, and help you find your way back home, only if you help protect class 1-A from villains.”

Dazai sighs, pinching his nose bridge, while Chuuya groans in distaste. “We have no choice though, do we?”

Nedzu smiles. “No, not even one.”

Or;

Dazai and Chuuya are teleported into a different universe, and now they need to find a way back home. They're 16 again, just because it helps further the plot.

fluff/relationships w the liyue crew

characters included: xiao, childe, beidou, and zhongli

ik i forgot ningguang i promise i’ll include her in part 2, i just didn’t have time :(

all x a gn! reader 

my liyue babies :,) ft. ningguang in spirit

an: i was listening to my soft playlist (more like listening to cupid’s chokehold on repeat, no i am not basic 🔪) and i thought some fluff headcanons would be cute w these sweet people

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

xiao

ok so no surprise that he hates liyue harbor

he hates anything w a lot of people in it so he prefers to stay at wangshu inn tyvm

but by contrast, you love liyue harbor sm (it’s gorgeous i mean c’mON)

you go there often to retrieve your commissions in order to stay closer to xiao (liyue harbor is closer than mondstadt he argues but you’re well aware that they’re both equally far away)

so if anyone asked, xiao would absolutely refuse to go to the harbor like i hate people??? why would you even ask???

but,,,he’s so sOFT for you

if you asked??? he would agree in a heartbeat

but since he’s >:( angsty boy, he makes you think that he won’t go even when he’s already decided that he’s coming w you

he puts up the “if you so require, then i guess i will assist you with your travels in liyue harbor” but in reality he would definitely have said yes even without the almond tofu

while he hates the harbor, he thinks that with you anything is bearable :,) simp

you take him to see xinyan to vibe w her music and you can tell he really enjoys it

even tho he’s like 🕴 the entire time, you see the softer look on his face and the very slight smile on his lips as he listens to the music and watches the crowd

so so so cute very soft for him

i do see him as a subtly touchy person in public like brushing the hair off your face, swiping his thumb across your cheek, or gently pulling your hair back when you have a plate of food in your hands 

the type to link your pinkies together - he claims it’s so you don’t get lost but yk better 

after the concert is done you take him to that one waypoint near mt. tianheng and the both of you just watch the city lights and the way they reflect beautifully on the water surrounding the harbor 

personal headcanon that xiao absolutely loves stargazing since he believes the stars are the one true constant in his life especially since he’s experienced so much loss (basically they’ll never leave him god i hate myself why do i make everything SAD)

mini headcanon off of that - he doesn’t stargaze with people,,, like ever 

it’s something he loves to do alone so the fact that he lets you stargaze w him and even allows you to shift your head onto his lap while you watch the sky is a huge deal 

he loves it when you softly whisper abt how your day was or something you saw that made you laugh 

he just loves hearing your voice, it automatically calms the voices in his head 

you absolutely ADORE when he has flowers in his hair especially cecilias (cecillias? ceccillias? idfk) and you make a point whenever you go to mondstadt to pick a fresh batch of cecilias just for xiao while enlisting the help of your favorite bard  

these soft moments on the mountain are usually when you’ll sweetly tuck in a flower or two in his hair while laughing 

he’ll blush fiercely while looking away but will tuck the cecilias in securely as you’re unable to do so due to the position you’re in on his lap

all in all - this was not meant to come out as a date idea but we’re going w it 

this is so cute xiao pls let me put flowers in your hair sweet boy <3

childe

god, loml, my favorite war criminal after eren yeager 

there’s never a dull moment w this man - if you wanted peace and quiet, why the hell are you dating him bestie???

is the type of person to yell out “Y/N, i can’t believe i ran into you here!” if he sees you somewhere even tho you explicitly told him you were going to be here in the morning (ik you have a good memory ajax don’t lie to me 😐)

i don’t see him as being obnoxious w pda unlike someone else kaeya but he would definitely participate (think: handholding, cheek kisses, an arm around your shoulders)

loves it when he comes home and sees you in an apron cooking 

domesticity just makes his heart melt so you can be sure that your face will be peppered w a lot of kisses afterwards <3 

absolutely ADORES it when you trace his scars absentmindedly when you’re lying down or even when you’re having dinner in public  

he’s been far from his family for so long that small acts of mindless affection like this really make his heart happy 

you have him drunk on your love luv haha see what i did there 

he will let you put makeup on him. no i do not take criticism ⛄️

he already has on lowkey thick eyeliner,,, don’t be shy put some more bestie 

he will shamelessly go out in public w whatever you made him wear - doesn’t really give a shit even tho he has a reputation to maintain 

speaking of reputation,,, yk his mask? yeah that one - the red hair accessory that he has on his head

well on the mask, he attached a little charm the both of you got together on your first date during lantern rite 

it’s this adorable fox that we all shamelessly kill for meat and he placed it so it anchored to the side of his mask so when he fights it isn’t a nuisance or anything (does that make sense??? i hope it does) 

his subordinates notice and while they’re stoic around childe, behind closed doors they do whisper abt the mysterious person who’s captured his heart 

not so mysterious anymore when they literally see him cling onto you during his daily patrol around the harbor 💀

it’s ok tho he’s lucky he’s cute 

bestie,,, pls give him a neck massage 

i just KNOW he’s tense there idk something abt the way he carries himself just screams “my neck hurts so bad someone pls help me i would ask but my pride literally will not let me”

so give him a neck massage :) don’t worry tho he’ll definitely return the favor and then some

LOVES TICKLE FIGHTS 

he’s obsessed w them,,, it’s just the faces you make??? he can’t get enough 

he loves seeing the pure joy and the brief fear (he’s kind of a sadist) in your eyes before he attacks you w those damned hands 

it reminds him a lot of simpler times w his siblings and he’s happy he brings you joy and makes you forget your worries - at least for a little while 

all in all, he’s a good boy and no i will not tolerate childe slander 🔪 kaeya slander tho 😏

beidou

you pulled beidou??? wow everyone’s jealous (pulled as in literally from the banner and in this context but no i do not have beidou and no i definitely do not want to talk abt it)

god made beidou and zhongli just so all of us could have a sexuality crisis 

anyways, being w her is hard i will not lie 

not bc she isn’t a capable lover - no, quite the contrary 

she’s an amazing partner but the problem here lies in the fact that she’s almost never on land 

it’s hard working a long distance relationship but y’all love each other so it works out :,) 

when she is physically present however, expect to never be bored 

she’ll quietly fix the wrinkles on your shirt or fiddle with your fingers in her hands while she recounts her adventures out on sea 

she sometimes gets worried she bores you, however the way your eyes light up every time she tells a tale always reassures her otherwise

definitely the type to let you use her claymore if you want to learn 

she’ll provide useful tips as she tucks her hands into your sides gently, positioning you correctly so you don’t hurt yourself 

miss girl is an AMAZING cook 

i just know she cooks the best meals - i mean she’s friends w xiangling after all 

whenever she comes home from a voyage she’ll always insist on making something for you even if she’s abt to pass out 

pls tuck her into bed and promise her that she can make you something in the morning <3 the poor woman needs rest 

brings you back trinkets but they’re actually very practical 

she knows you won’t have much use for a simple charm (not that there’s anything wrong w that) but she believes you’ll like something practical more so she might get you a new engraved knife from the most recent place she’s been to 

definitely the type to surprise you when she docks 

i can imagine her anchoring her ship out a little ways from liyue harbor and rowing to the dock in order to make sure you aren’t alerted of her presence (i’m sorry the mental picture this made in my mind is SENDING ME INTO ORBIT but she means well i love you)

will take you to remote spots she’s found in her travels through liyue 

for example - the little heart shaped island and the island quest (?) that you had to use kaeya the bridge maker for in order to get to im sorry i’ll stop w the kaeya slander

she’ll get you seashell bracelets or necklaces idk why but she gives me those vIBES 

they’re super nice ones too, only the highest quality for you 

yes she’s a bruh girl but i also see her as someone who would enjoy intimate moments like watching the sunset or something 

“yo wanna catch the sunset, i heard it looks sick from the jade chamber” said before ahem it yk fell from the sky

kasdjksfashfjsahf yes ofc i would love to catch the sunset w you pls come home luv

anyways, she is a woman i would give the world for 

zhongli

ok gimme a sec i need to get my gentleman mode on 

this man,,, THIS MAN 

everything w him is so soft like your entire eXISTENCE w him could go in a museum it’s that beautiful 

in the morning when he visits you, he always brings you a cup of your favorite tea and a bouquet of glaze lilies he got from madame ping

holds the door for you, pushes the chair out for you, uses a napkin and brushes sauce off your lips when you’re eating - you name something sweet, he’s done it

secretly loves it when you fuss over him 

he doesn’t like to fight but say he encountered a group of hillichurls he couldn’t avoid and promptly defeated them but ended up tearing a part of his tux(?) (is it a tux? i could not tell you)

not that big of a deal, i mean it’s a scratch, he’s a 6,000 year old god, he’s dealt w much worse 

but seeing the worried crease in your brows as you usher him to sit at the table while quickly grabbing antiseptic to clean his wound

“it’s just a scratch, my dear. do not worry i’ve dealt with much worse.”

you quietly protest abt how “yes zhongli, i understand you’re an archon and have gotten worse injuries but i’m worried about infection just please let me take care of you ok? <3″ 

when you say that he feels weird emotions,,, wdym take care of him? 

he’s always taken care of himself or been expected to take care of others as the former ruling deity of liyue so having someone else genuinely worry abt his wellbeing creates a warm feeling in his chest 

he strikes me as the type to knit you something??? idk maybe it’s the grandpa vibes but i headcanon that he would knit you a scarf for the colder weather, it’s cute 

in the privacy of your home, he really likes picking you up

he loves it when you wrap your legs around his middle while he gets up to go do the dishes or smthg 

domesticity go brrrr

if you’re into making flower crowns, he would totally have you on his lap and wordlessly hand you a glaze lily whenever you expectantly hold your hand out while weaving the flowers together 

he expects you to make the crown for yourself but when you place the crown on his head and it fits perfectly while simultaneously tucking a glaze lily behind your ear, he looks at you dumbstruck 

his mouth parts open in awe and it’s quite literally the cutest thing

you’ve broken him 

thinks it’s the sweetest thing - will keep it on his head for the whole day 

he’ll even put it in water before he sleeps so it won’t wilt and he can wear it the next day <3 

scenic picnics!! scenic picnics!! 

the type to take you to the nicest spots in liyue to chat abt the history of the land w you over a cup of tea and your favorite food (whatever you like, he doesn’t mind)

recounts the people he’s met in his long life before finishing off by saying you’re by far the best person he’s met

okay here’s a second try at angst so ya, not really ship but tsukkiyama moment (idfk reblog pls I’m desperate for attention.) (kinda a kinnie moment lol)

Tadashi. poor boy, his anxiety is gonna be the death of him. he first started developing it in his fourth year of primary school. He didn’t really say anything about it to anyone because when he brought it up to his dad he told him that “everyone goes through it” like it was just puberty or something and was also told to “man up”. So he kinda went through his primary years a complete mess. The worst thing about it was his insecurities always got the better of him. To the point where he would get so self-conscious in class that he would ask to go to the bathroom to get through his anxiety attacks. It was so bad one time the school had to call his mom because he was staying with her that week and she had to come to pick him up. (yes he has divorced parents fight me) when she asked him why he never said anything about how he was feeling he told her everything that his dad said and that pissed. her. off. After an hour of her screaming into a phone to a certain someone, she sat down with him and tried to confront him. She told him that he could go see a doctor about it if he wanted to. And that’s what they did. He got diagnosed with severe anxiety and was prescribed medications. This helped him with the anxiety attacks a lot but not so much insecurities. But that just goes along with growing up. At first, he didn’t see much wrong with his face he may have had uneven eyes and a weird smile but he liked his face. What he really didn’t like was his body. In primary school he was super skinny, he ate and worked out as much as he could to build up muscle but it was really a loss for him. When he started getting bullied for his freckles that was what really dragged him down. He started covering them up with concealer in his fifth year. Everything was fine and people kinda forgot till one of the girls pointed out that he was wearing “makeup”. Boy oh, fucking boy. That what you want everyone to hear as a primary school boy right? Honestly, the girl could care less and thought that it was kinda cute that he was good with make-up even if it was to cover up his beautiful specks. The boys on the other hand...literally overflowing with that toxic masculinity. That’s when the bullying began. He’d get teased, and get called feminine names which made him very uncomfortable. But it got worse when it started to get physical. After school, the same group of guys would wait outside of school just to follow him home to tease him and push him around. This went on all the way till his last year at primary school. It never really stopped but it definitely settled down once Tuskishima came into his life. Meeting him at the volleyball club the day after he made those bullies run away was the best thing that could have happened to him. Tadashi looked up to Tsuki a lot during his younger years, and although it isn’t the best way of doing it he learned to defend himself more with bullying (yes he’s a fucking bully too he’s just not as bad as Tsuki fight me pt2). Anyway, he still had it rough through his middle school year but for the most part, he was fine. He was winning his battles against anxiety and insecurity, especially since starting volleyball he’s built up muscle, and he’s grown to love his freckles a little more. Then again it came down like a hammer on him. His first year in high school, it was a class that he didn’t know anyone in so he kinda just kept to himself. Some guys came over and started talking to him and he thought they were really nice. They were all getting along until this girl came along and introduced herself to him. She was acting super flirty and he didn’t know why. One of the guys grabbed the girl by the waist pulling her against their chest. He looked pissed. He started yelling at Tadashi for flirting with his girlfriend and threatened to hurt him. Tadashi panicked and tried to explain that she came onto him which only made the situation worse. The guy just started spewing insults at him, talking about how no one would ever date him because of this and that. What hit Yamaguchi hard though was “and don’t get me over your

pepperoni face. Come on it looks like you took a brown crayon and went to town on your face.” Everyone around him started laughing along and agreeing. Their mocking laughter only got louder and louder to him, his breath started staggering and his eyes clouded with tears. He pushed them out of the way and ran to the bathroom. He stares at himself in the mirror letting the sobs escape, he turns on the water and wets his hands. He starts violently rubbing his face then wetting his hands more, and repeating the process. He didn’t realize it himself but he started scratching at his face, turning it red and leaving marks. The door opened to the bathroom but Tadashi didn’t hear. It was Tsukki luckily. “Hey Tadashi I went into your class and they said you would be in here what going on-” his word stopped as he saw his best friend torturing himself. He walked over and grabbed his hands hardly making Tadashi face him. “What are you doing?” he questioned? Tadashi couldn’t manage to get out any words before he collapsed into Tsukki’s arms. Tsukki drags him over to a wall where he sits down. Tadashi laid in between his legs sobbing against his chest. He started running his fingers up and down Tadashi’s spine, in a couple of minutes he had calmed him down until his sobs turned into sniffles and his breathing began to go back to normal. “M’ sorry Tsukki. I didn’t mean to just collapse on you like that.” Tadshi sits up walking back over to the mirror to fix himself back up. “What happened Tadashi.” Tsukki asks getting up as well and dusting himself off. “Nothing it was just a panic attack. I haven't had one in a while so it was overwhelming.” Tsukki grabs Tadashi’s shoulder and starts to massage them gently. “Don’t lie, you suck at it. Plus, I told you to text me when that stuff happens. You usually get more embarrassing than before and do something stupid. So I’ll ask again, what happened.” Tadashi sighs gripping the sides of the sink. “Just some stupid assholes. Threatened to beat me up if I kept talking to their girlfriend even though she came on to me. Said something about my freckles. I don’t know. I’m over it, I had my episode I’m fine now.” “Tadashi, they are just idiots. You know that, I don’t know why you got so worked up about it. Your freckles look fine.” Tadashi froze and looked up at him. That's all? It’s just fine? So it just shouldn’t have any effect on him at all? Does he even remember all of the time he would vent to him about stuff like this? The offense he took from this was unreal. “Of course you would say that. Have you ever actually been bullied or were you always the one bullying? You have no idea what goes on in my head so you have no room to talk about how I deal with my problems Tsukishima. Honestly, you're such a pain in the ass sometimes, just acting all nonchalant. Whatever. See you at practice.” He grabs the paper towels out of the dispenser and walks out of the bathroom. That day at practice the tension between the two did not go unnoticed.

Part 2?? Maybe I’ll do another one?? Idfk @highqueenofelfhame (the sequel is always worse btw in this instance. Enjoy this unedited masterpiece)

Rehearsal was fine enough. Rowan hardly said more than three words to her not pertaining with the show. But that was fine. She didn’t care.

Dogfight was a great unconventional love story. A group of marines are being shipped out to Vietnam the next morning and sticking with tradition throw a party. Everyone plays $50 and pay for the venue, the booze, the entertainment, et cetera. The rest of the cash goes to the winner of the Dogfight. Whoever wins by having the ugliest date at the party, wins the rest of the money. Eddie couldn’t find anyone super horrid and so in a bout of desperation, he asks Rose who later is told what the Dogfight is. He feels horrible and asks her on a date and they go and the rest is history.

It was a Story Aelin could sink her teeth in to. The character, the situation. Eddie leaving and then coming back with all of his friends dead after Vietnam and finding her. Rose experiencing things for the first time and arcing. She had been excited for every single rehearsal, every song.

Until now.

She had gotten through the the entire first act, she had sung her heartbreaking song, her duet with Lysandra, her duet with Rowan, she had gone on her second date with Rowan where he tries to make it up to her for being and asshole. But the scene they were blocking today. . .

“Okay, Aelin, hold the guitar and look down at it, so your face isn’t showing to the audience. . . Good, good,” their director told her.

Her heart was beating quickly in a way she hadn’t felt for a couple of years. She felt nervous. She wasn’t like the character at all in real life so why was she acting like Rose right now. And she wasn’t even trying to act right now. Just get the blocking down first and then run through it once it’s all together.

“Now, Rowan?”

Sitting on the stage next to me, staring intently, he shifted his head to look at the director, “Hm?”

“Lean in, reach your head so you can kiss her, and,” she gestured vaguely. Great, “Then put her guitar aside, tilt her head up, kiss her again, pick her up and lay her down on the bed and just keep kissing. And voila that’s the scene, can we please run it?”

My breathing and my heart rate were both noticeable faster than should be normal. My hands, shaking, played the first few chords on the guitar and started singing.

It felt like forever until he came into my line of sight. Staring downwards, it seemed as thought I just kept singing the same verse. We were both moving in slow motion but everything felt sped up. Too fast. And when he reached to kiss me . . .

My heart slowed. The nerves went away and he grounded me. As he let go, my lips grew cold and I couldn’t move, stuck in the place he’d left me. His warm hand, reached for my chin to bring my face up to his. He swooped again and I lost myself. His hands on my thighs, carrying me to the prop bed, hardly registered in my head over the feeling of his lips on mine. He lay me down and the director yelled cut.

Many of the cast sitting in the audience whooped and howled, some chanting Rowan’s name. Some girls whispering angrily at Aelin in jealously.

Aelin just lay there, eyes gazing intently back at Rowan. Her lips were cold again. And all of it became too much.

Her memories came swooping back in and she pushed Rowan off of her to run out of the auditorium.

People kept cheering.

He’d always been a good actor.

#6 - Quinnis ( Companion Chronicles)

Doctor: First Companion: Susan Where/When: Bridgetown, Quinnis; the fourth universe; idfk when Antagonist: not really any? the closest is the weeds but they’re not exactly sentient lifeforms Released: 23 December, 2010

Plot Summary: Framed through a Susan in the far future talking to her dead husband about their son Alex (so, y’know, don’t expect me to cover that part of the continuity until 2023), Susan reminisces about the furthest her and The Doctor ever traveled - to Quinnis, in the fourth universe. They discover the town they have landed in, the appropriately named Bridgetown, is a town made entirely out of viaducts suspended in the air. They meet a young homeless girl named Meedla, who predicts they will bring disaster with them, and The Doctor is mistaken for a rainmaker, who will end the drought. While burning down the old rainmaker’s house, the townsfolk find black feathers and become fearful of The Shrazer, a creature of bad luck who invokes blind panic.

Susan spends much of her time fetching items for The Doctor and doubting their chances, while One plans on making it rain via a cannon contraption with silver iodide. On the way back to fetch the latest items, Susan almost runs into what she thinks is the Shrazer, but also runs into Meedla, caught in one of the traps. Susan frees her, but the rain begins, and she realizes too late that the streets are designed to catch the rain, and both Susan and Meedla are caught within the torrents, eventually washing both Meedla and the TARDIS away.

Susan is rescued by one of the market merchants, Amlanti and her husband, who make up a bed for her in their house until the rain stops. She has a strange dream about Amlanti’s piglet, before unexpectedly encountering what she thinks is the Shrazer but is in fact Almanti’s husband’s suit for going down to the ground. The Doctor comes and collects Susan, but they find that the key to the TARDIS has been stolen, and Amlanti’s husband is later killed.

The Doctor and Susan end up meeting a fortune hunter named Parch, who reveals that Meedla was actually the Shrazer in disguise, and was the one who stole the key. They spot the TARDIS on the ground below, but while trying to find a way down they’re swooped by the Shrazer, who calls for Susan, before disappearing. They head to the town’s Guild Hall and Susan gets some sleep, but wakes up to find The Doctor has disappeared, gone to find the TARDIS on the ground. They scan the ground and see One having almost made his way to the ship, but the weeds of the ground, rapidly growing, hungry, and the reason the people of Bridgetown live in the air, are catching up to him. Parch goes to rescue him, but Susan is left alone and confronted by Meedla, who forces her to make them take her with them when they leave in exchange for saving One.

The Doctor attempts to create a defensive cannon from the same device he was going to seed the clouds and cause rain with, but the town is already collapsing. They attempt to take out the vegetation attacking the supports but they are attacked by Meedla, and attempts to take Parch’s ship down, forcing Parch to kill her. They retrieve the key and head to the TARDIS, The Doctor with a traumatized Susan. He eventually declares that she needs to have friends her own age, and they land in London, 1963. I think you all know where this is going.

Thoughts: I really do wish the plot had been given some time to breathe because there was a lot of good ideas in this story, but in the same way that there are a lot of good things to visit and enjoy while you’re rushing by on a country train - lol @ the idea you even get an iota of time for it.

I’m also beginning to grow tired of the Companion Chronicles as a format - it’s not that I dislike Susan (I don’t) or Carole Ann Ford (I most certainly don’t!), but there’s only so much she, or the format, can do to grab my enjoyment. Also, I appreciate the novelty of Carole’s daughter providing the second voice for Meedla but, well, she’s not a voice actor that’s for sure.

In short, I’ll probably have to listen to the audio again but at 0.5x speed just to get enough time to take everything in.

Rating: ⭐⭐

[orange-antics]

Eddsworld miscellaneous hcs

ok there's probably like 100 of these already or something, but I thought I'd add mine anyway, because hey, it's fun and I'll probably change or add a few later. (Also this ended up waaaaaaaay longer then i meant it to be wh o ops so uh be warned its pretty damn long-)

Tom:

Shortest! (i know it's normally either edd or tord, but after seeing saloonatics, I just couldn't resist the idea of the grumpiest one being the smallest. Cute right?)

Relatively strong arms, more fat around his stomach and torso then his legs.

Occasionally works gigs at local clubs and stuff for money.

Doesn't have much social media aside from Facebook so he can occasionally stalk his old college mates.

He actually likes sports like football and tennis. (His favourite sport is seeing how many bars he can hit up in one nigh-//shot//)

His hair smells like pineapple! (And the rest of him like booze-)

He's up for pretty much anything if he's drunk enough to have fun and not remember enough to regret it

But not bowling.

N e ve r bo wl ing

He's still got a scar on his left arm from The End. :( But Matt and Edd helped him to fix it up, so it's all good!

He's actually a pretty chill and sensible guy, and despite being snarky and sarcastic whenever he can, he genuinely cares about his relationships with people, scared that one day they'll get bored of him and cast him aside. He's really just a goofball with big city dreams of becoming a rockstar.

Spends like two hours in the shower crying and listening to MCR

His favourite show is Bad Education. It's good for when he needs cheering up.

He likes snacks and foods that are crunch, and salty, spicy, and sometimes savoury. So Crisps, Pringles, Doritos, chex mix etc.

Edd:

Second shortest/third tallest

Kinda chubby tbh but he's the BEST at hugs.

His forearm game is actually pretty strong because of all the time he spends making art to pay for their bills (because hey, someone's gotta do it amirite). You don't wanna head into an arm-wrestling contest with this guy.

Makes money by selling his art and also taste-testing all the latest cola products! (Just...not the diet ones).

Aside from a devianart, redbubble and maybe even a tumblr for art commissions, he doesn't really care about social media. Or regular media. Politics who?

His favourite sport? Seeing how many cans of cola he can get through on an especially difficult project. (Cricket always looked kind of fun though)

Smells like cola and not taking a shower in days because he HAS to get the lineart perfect and edd are you ok when was the last time you slept- (jokes aside, i can see him smelling like graphite and paints and sharpies from his art supplies).

Can pull the perfect poker face like damn son having a baby face sure comes in handy when lying to your roomate about why there's broken guitar strings hanging out of Ringo's mouth again

Has a scar on the inside of his eyelid from the time Tom 'accidently' poked him in the eye with a pencil (...may or may not be based off personal experience)

Edd is pretty friendly and open with people, he likes getting to know them and joking around. He's the Ultimate Punmaster ™, and loves nothing more to poke fun. He sees the world through the eyes of a cartoonist, and will never miss a comedic opportunity.

Be warned! He's actually fairly smart, and can read people well, knowing just how to really get under someone's skin. It's a good thing he can't be bothered with any of that though.

Gets his best ideas either in the tub or when hes just about to sleep. Because of that, he keeps a water-proof and regular notebook. Nearly had a heart-attack countless times because he accidently swapped them around.

Despite his complaints about absurd plot conveniences, he actually likes Doctor Wh- i mean "Proffesor Why", there's just something about the concept of time travel...he also likes cartoons! Like, a lot. He'll watch most anything and everything if it's animated and the writing is decent.

Likes anything sour, sweet, and chewy! So Jelly Babies, Wine gums, Sour patch kids, that kind of thing

Tord:

(Most of these are heavily based upon his life as Red Leader so sorry if you were looking for more domestic Tord. Maybe I'll do seperate hcs for that one day)

Second tallest! Quite a bit taller then Tom, a bit taller then Edd, just about average height, if a bit taller. He's closer to Matt in height then Edd.

He's actually quite well-built! You wouldn't think it because of the baggy hoodie he wears but he's got pretty good muscle, and his endurance and strength is well above the others. This mostly comes from the logic that he's been training and leading the Red Army, so it just makes sense to me that he'd resemble a soldier physically, yknow? AU-wise, or before he started the whole world domination thing, he'd be a little more scrawny, but he could still kick everyone's ass (he probably tried copying numerous anime battle stances lol-)

He's pretty well off, it turns out you can get quite rich by adopting some uh...rather unconventional means of money-making. Of course you could always say he just sold his inventions.

Does having your own private network of underground intelligence-gathering units count as social media? No? Nevermind.(He has a hentaihaven account-)

He likes dodgeball, archery, and you guessed it, arcade shooter games. Anything where he can point and hit something basically.

He smells like gunpowder, dirt, oil from machine maintenance and the cold? Like if the cold had a smell, he would have that smell, does that make sense? He also probably smells like Old Spice because idfk it just reminds me of him ok.

He doesn't exactly get out to socialise much, be prefers to stay at his desk, or curled up next to the fire with a mug of hot cider when he wants to relax. Sometimes Paul and Pat will drag him outside when they think he needs a breath of fresh air, and they'll go visit the nearest marketplace for food and other supplies. He likes strategic games like Chess or Draughts, and it's a good way to show off and get practice at the same time.

Scar-wise, he probably has quite a few from his fights. Post-the end, I'm not sure what would happen to him, since I've seen people go in a lot of different directions. I DO think he'd replace him arm with the robotic one, since that seemed too heavily implied to not happen. Regarding his face, I think the burns and stuff would probably heal over time, and depending on the technology in the future, he'd either still have some heavy scarring, or maybe he'd develop some kind of treatment so that it restores him to almost fully healed. He could always go the cyborg route and end up half-man half-machine like we see with future Matt and Tom.

(About the patch on his face, I have a theory about how he he aquired that scar/injury. See, I don't think Tord founded Red Army by himself, no. I think he was introduced to it by Paul (who we see in the same classroom as them in Poweredd) who was kept back a few years cause....uh...yknow- Anyway I have a theory that Tord eventually climbed the ranks until he became second-in-command, and he then murdered Red Leader and took his title. Their fight is where he got that injury. It's not really canon-supported much, but I find it an interesting concept!)

You've probably guessed, but I kind of disgree with Tord's portrayal sometimes. I think I prefer the darker, meaner side to him. I wouldn't say he's (completely) evil, but I'm not really one for the whole "self-hating, regretful angsty Tord who just wants some love and support" and stuff. I mean, it's cute with ships amd fluff, amd ideally he does make amends and rejoin the group, but I just like the thought that he's genuinely not a nice guy yknow? Like, he's actually done some fucked up stuff, and The End is probably just one case. (Of course this is all opinion based so feel free to disagree if u wanna wheeze-)

Has the WORST sleeping schedule. Has been known to fall asleep in the bath/shower.

He prefers movies to shows. His favourite is the Kingsman series (he can relate on many different levels).

Likes bittersweet things, (just like his personality amirite-). So cake with coffee, or tarts, liquorice, hard candy, that kind of thing.

Matt:

(My favourite-)

He tol. Tallest of them all!

Someone once described him as "borderline twink" and tbh i agree. I feel like he'd have a slightly feminine figure (which is perfectly normal!) and he both rocks it, and knows he does.

He works at a nail salon every now and again, his self-confidence and bubbliness makes him get along well with customers. (Also Matt would definitely wear nail polish ok dont even try to convince me otherwise. Actually speaking of,)

He has EVERY kind of social media possible. Instagram, twitter, facebook, tumblr, facebook, snapchat, you name it! He's especially prominent on instagram. He likes to keep an ~aesthetic~

He likes gymnastics and dance, activities like that. Anything which puts him in a creative spotlight. He'd probably take up acting classes, and then insist on only being given monologues.

He'd probably have quite a pleasant and nature-y smell? Like uhh citrus-y, pine tree, a hint of flowers, that kind of thing. Although he'd DEFINITELY slap on way too much cologne on a date or something and end up smelling like he just emptied out a bottle of febreeze.

He'd probably go out quite a lot! I can see Matt being a social butterfly, his friendliness and general likeability probably mean that he's got a few friends and stuff around. I can also see him as the kind of person who'd enjoy taking walks in the park, sitting below a tree, that kind of thing. He probably runs a self-love session (that works a little TOO well). He wants to get out there and show off his beautiful face, so it doesn't take a lot to drag him outside (provided you keep a mirror on you, that is).

He doesn't really have any physical scars. I mean, i do hc him with freckles, but they don't count so. he has a mental scar. After he hit himself with the memory eraser gun, he completely erased his memories. It took a while for him to settle onto the personality he has now. His face was the one thing that he knew for certain held a sense of familiarity and stability, so that's partly why his narcissism boomed so much. He sometimes gets random flashbacks of being a zombeh leader, being less of a nicer person, and it can be quite unnerving for him. He also has other memory issues, which is why he can forget things so easily, and comes across as an idiot most of the time.

He can be quite oblivious, but I dont think hes a total idiot. He can read people fairly well, and is emotionally intelligent. He says stupid things sometimes despite knowing they'll get a reaction, just because he wants to, and thinks that life should be as fun and full of joy as possible. He's too trusting, and wants to see the good in everyone. At the end of the day, if you disrespect him (and his face), you'll see that he can be more then just the nice guy.

LUSH!! Matt is HERE for all those lush products. I'm talking bath bombs, lip scrubs, shower jellies, all that good stuff! And ofc he has like 100+ products for his hair and skincare routine, because let's face it, it's Matt. I also like to think he owns a bunch of bath toys and rubber duckies, and like the kid at heart he is, he'll sit in a bubble bath playing with them, and re-enacting all of their adventures.

He mostly prefers youtube videos over TV, so you bet he's subscribed to all the beauty gurus, vloggers, people like that. He does think children's cartoons are nice to watch though, so every once in a while he'll force Tom and Edd to sit with him and watch the latest season of My little pony.

He likes anything sweet and fun to look at! Especially if it's trending, so he can post pictures of himself eating/drinking it. So if there's another rolled ice cream/new starbucks-ccino/unicorn themed food item floating about, he'll probably be trying it.

(Ah man this turned out way longer then i thought. It went from simple headcanons to like full blown theories whoops- maybe i should make seperate posts if its too difficult to read? Anyway let me know what you think nonetheless!)

[joulethieves]

deep breath remember when i said this would take me 5mins nevermind i wrote for an hour

tl;dr burmecian dragoon frately and his adopted hume daughter kipcha are hunters that speak several languages but speak french to each other. there’s a dog and a falcon involved that are kipcha’s weird pets. burmecians are an extinct race aside from frately after they defended marginalized groups across ivalice and slowly died off. kipcha and reddas probably have a Thing. kipcha yells at al-cid in rozarrian bc he owes her money cuz she was hired to spy with her multilingual skills before getting thrown into prison and recently broken out by the time the xii-timeline is close to an end , pre-pharos.

ok wheremst do i start with these two i’ll try to. keep it short. 

SPOILER I DIDNT KEEP IT SHORT 

kipcha is a hume in her late 20′s who is a huntress. she has a dog and a falcon has a pet. she lives in the mountains, i headcanon somewhere in rozarria, with her weird dad frately.

frately is , quite frankly, a ripoff of sir frately from ffix. like basically he is a burmecian. but in ivalice-verse, i headcanon burmecias/cleyrans as an extinct race. long long lonnnng ago, burmecians used to be protectors of sorts, of the downtrodden or endangered. they are dragoons so they slayed a lotta dragons threatening their land and the land of others. they were all around a super amazing good race of creatures. the viera, especially, consider themselves heavily indebted to them. many many years ago the burmecians defended eruyt from an attack from some force (i havent figured it out yet, either humes or wyrms) and thus helped build the barriers in golmore now. 

so in ffxii timeline, when fran sees frately, and frankly--when any viera sees frately, the only burmecian they’ve seen in many many many years (as they were rumored to be wiped out in some war)--she removes her helmet and bows her head in respect. bc even though the viera that he sees have left the wood, they still owe their lives to burmecians and there’s a deep respect for them as well as a quiet shock as to how he is alive. not sure if he’s the only burmecian who survived; i imagine there are others but perhaps he is looking for them

somewhere in the timeline after eruyt was defended long long ago, another attack on a village happened, a hume town in rozarria. savages were tearing through it, raping and pillaging and burning it to the ground. burmecians fought to eliminate the threat and save the people, but many were slain in their efforts. THE BURMECIANS WERE VERY BUSY FULL-TIME DEFENDERS OF ALL. they never slept. there was always shit to save. kipcha was a toddler at the time and her whole family was murdered, and frately saved her before hiding them both in the woods. maybe just about every burmecian was wiped out (idfk i really dont have it worked out in a timeline). basically, frately adopted kipcha, at a very young age. she was probably like 3. after that attack, they were both alone. he decided he’d take care of her.

fast forward and now kipcha is 20something and she hunts around ivalice with her weird dad. they have a giant big-ass cabin they both built on some lonely mountain and she doesnt get to talk to humans much. but she has her birb and her doggo and likes to kill shit with her dad. 

also frately speaks in a heavy french accent because i said so, and bc i headcanon burmecians as generally speaking french, also bc i created him as an OC in high school when i was learning french, also bc i do what i want and french is a language in ivalice altho it probably isnt called french it just sounds french. basically its a dead language its probably what the burmecians spoke.

 anyway they speak that to each other. she taught herself the main ivalician tongue and bugged him to learn it too. she doesnt speak with an accent but he’s lazy and old so he has a heavy one. also she speaks rozarrian and landisian and galtaean (what i headcanon as english i guess. she learned a lot of languages by books and travel and when she does meet other humes she loves to talk to them to test out her skills. she is very clever like that. languages come easily to her.

hmmm so anyway

reddas took over balfonheim 2 years pre-game. and there was an assassination attempt to get rid of him as he tried to make all these changes in balfonheim since he cleaned  a lot of it up. well, there was an attempt at an attempt for murder, at least.

 y’see, kipcha and frately were in balfonheim on a hunt and it was their first visit there. kipcha overheard two men talking in a foreign language no one could speak while in a bar, and understood they were trying to plot against reddas. she didnt know who reddas was but she’s literally so catty and didnt like how they looked at her so she snitched. basically she saved reddas’ life cuz it ended up being a huge plot to kill him. 

from then on kipcha got on reddas’ good side but was labeled a snitch by others. she doesn’t really care tho, but sometimes it grates her. lots of people call frately a rat bc of how he looks as a burmecian, and because of him partnering with kipcha to snitch, but i dont think the namecallers understand how tall he is cuz when he stands up from his barstool he is literally like almost seven feet tall he is so tall dude. 

kipcha is average like 5′6″ or something but frately is gigantic. he used to give her piggyback rides and jump around when she was a kid and she squealed in delight but he calls her too fat now (she isnt, but he teases her). kipcha is very sassy, outgoing, and mislabeled as “confident” when really she has no concept of how to act in public since she is never around people so she’s generally just a loud weirdo. she carries her dog around in her arms and ppl are like “omg is ur dog ok” and shes like “he’s fine i just like carrying him around like a baby” . she has a bird, a falcon named [redacted (im honestly so embarrassed by a lot of this)], she flies around sometimes and brings kipcha things like dead rats and random rings. kip has a bohemian sort of style about her and wears a bunch of shit the bird finds. 

because kipcha can speak a lot of languages she was then hired by al-cid to do some spying for something or other, shortly after the reddas stint, as word got out about her. she did the job, and got the info back to al-cid,  but she got caught and imprisoned. frately broke her out but it took over a year to figure it out. i also headcanon that the bird steals al-cid’s glasses in xii timeline during his brief stint in balfonheim. 

kipcha and frately are coined “fire ‘n ice” by most folks who are fond of them. kipcha is very hotheaded and loud. she is also a redhead. frately being of pallor skin and white hair and quiet temperament is therefore ice. whenever frately is embarrassed by her she likes to remind him he raised her and he likes to respond “i had nothing to do with this” in a very french accent.

 so reddas hasn’t seen her for over a year and a half before she shows up in the xii-timeline, broken out of prison, growing her hair out cuz they buzzed it off, and demanding money from al-cid bc he never paid her, but in his defense she was in prison. 

kip and frate show up late in-game and that’s the first time reddas sees her since she saved him, essentially i. sort of maybe ship her with reddas? but more like a “they totally banged once and she’s obviously nuts about him and clambers on his back and curls his sideburns around her finger while whispering in french in his ear” she’s honestly hilarious and frately facepalms a lot. frately and fran hang out. kipcha goes on a hunt with vaan and penelo and they becomes bff’s. hmmm. yeah anyway they show up late in-game to help with a hunt or an esper or like, they need kipcha and frately’s translating knowledge for something or other. idk kipcha is just happy to be out of prison and eating oysters and petting her dog. by the time she shows up in balfonheim ingame she’s probably been out of prison for a few months. oh no this got so long im sorry i think abt them every day they live in my head

Guardians of the Galaxy: The Fan Musical: Act 1

i’m so sorry i’m not sure how this happened but uh, this exists now enjoy it, i guess? idfk all credit for the fanfic goes to me but all songs belong to their original owners and performers

Act 1

Stage lights up. The stage is dark apart from a chair where there sits a young boy holding a Walkman casette player, center stage. He stares at the casette player silently, before rewinding the tape on it again. This boy is YOUNG QUILL, and as the tape plays and he begins singing, the stage lights slowly go up to reveal that he is in a hospital waiting room.

YOUNG QUILL: I'M NOT IN LOVE... SO DON'T FORGET IT, IT'S JUST A SILLY PHASE I'M GOING THROUGH...

Lights rise on stage right. DOCTOR is speaking to GRANDPA, while MEREDITH lies in a bed nearby. She is attached to a heart monitor and medicinal equipment. Music condinues underneath.

DOCTOR: Her condition isn't stable. It's getting worse.

GRANDPA: There's something -- we can do something. She's not--I don't want to lose her. Her son is in the other room, what am I going to tell him? She's all he has.

DOCTOR: It won't be easy, I know. But he has time to say his goodbyes. That's more than some get.

GRANDPA: Please, I--!!

DOCTOR leaves. GRANDPA paces the floor as YOUNG QUILL continues singing softly.

YOUNG QUILL: AND JUST BECAUSE I CALL YOU UP, DON'T GET ME WRONG, DON'T THINK YOU'VE GOT IT MADE...

The sound of a heart monitor faintly plays in the background.

YOUNG QUILL: (con't) I'M NOT IN LOVE, NO, NO....

HOSPITAL STAFF: IT'S BECAUSE...

YOUNG QUILL enters near GRANDPA. GRANDPA is barely able to look at the boy, but YOUNG QUILL speaks up first.

YOUNG QUILL: ...Grandpa? Is mom doing...you know, okay? I just...um. I know there's a lot going on, but it's my birthday, and I just...

GRANDPA: Pete, I...

MEREDITH: (weakly, from bed) Peter...

YOUNG QUILL: Mom!!!

YOUNG QUILL runs to be near MEREDITH. GRANDPA, distraught, stays where he was.

GRANDPA: I LIKE TO SEE YOU, BUT THEN AGAIN... THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU MEAN THAT MUCH TO ME....

MEREDITH: SO IF I CALL YOU, DON'T MAKE A FUSS... DON'T TELL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT THE TWO OF US.

YOUNG QUILL: I'M NOT IN LOVE, NO, NO...

YOUNG QUILL, MEREDITH, and GRANDPA: IT'S BECAUSE...

Music continues underneath. MEREDITH looks up at YOUNG QUILL with a soft smile.

MEREDITH: ...Beautiful. You look like an angel, just like your daddy. So, so beautiful...

GRANDPA: ...Mere, you had a present for Peter, didn't ya?

MEREDITH: Of course.

MEREDITH softly hands over a wrapped present to YOUNG QUILL, who stares at it, and then at his mother. He shifts on his feet, and MEREDITH lets out a sigh.

MEREDITH: I wish you could've met him. He came from space and he practically glowed. Everything he did was blessed by God's good graces. 'cluding you.

YOUNG QUILL: Mom, I--

MEREDITH: My little...

MEREDITH lets out a terrible cough. YOUNG QUILL edges away, but she looks him in the eyes, smiling as if nothing had even happened.

MEREDITH: Now, baby, I hear you've been makin' trouble...why did you beat up those boys, Peter?

YOUNG QUILL: They hurt a poor frog that didn't do nothin'. Poked it with a stick.

MEREDITH: You always were carin' for everythin'. Too much, I'd almost say, but...ya got that from me.

YOUNG QUILL: It doesn't even matter now, mom, are you...okay?

MEREDITH is silent for a moment as the music is quiet.

MEREDITH: No.

GRANDPA looks horrified. YOUNG QUILL stays frozen, but isn't surprised - however, he is on the brink of tears. MEREDITH gently, weakly reaches a hand out.

MEREDITH: I don't want to lie to you. I'm not. I don't know if I'll ever be. But I love you too much to keep you believin' that this is all that's meant for you...your daddy, he's gonna come back, and he's gonna...he's gonna make everything alright. Just like he did for me. You'll be okay, sweetheart, I just...

YOUNG QUILL is edging away from the bed.

MEREDITH: Peter, please...hold my hand.

YOUNG QUILL: No....no!!! I don't want Dad, I want you, Mom! I don't--!!

GRANDPA tries to keep YOUNG QUILL from freaking out, but only results in making him run away.

GRANDPA: PETER!!!

MEREDITH waits, with her hand outstretched for a few more shaking moments as the beeping of the heart monitor slows to a crawl. GRANDPA looks at her lifeless form, and the click of a casette player being turned off is heard. The lights dim stage right as they rise center stage.

YOUNG QUILL is running, a panicked expression on his face as he runs into a tall blue man that lets out a small laugh. This man is YONDU UDONTA, the leader of the RAVAGERS.

YONDU: You look like you're runnin' from some kinda problems, boy. You know runnin' hardly ever solves nothin', right? Yet you doin' it anyway.

YOUNG QUILL: Who...who are you? I don't--I don't need to talk to you. I'm...I'm waiting for my dad.

YONDU: Oh, ya are, are ya? Ae you Peter Quill?

YOUNG QUILL: How do you--

YONDU: The name's Yondu. Yondu Udonta.

YOUNG QUILL: Are you my dad?

YONDU pauses for a moment, and then lets out a loud laugh.

YONDU: Let's just call me an associate, boy. I'm here to take you with me. And from the sounds of things, ya ain't got no choice in the matter, if you wanna keep runnin'.

YOUNG QUILL: My mom is--my mom is dead.

YONDU: We've all lost people, boy. Now, ya got two choices. You can run back to the place where ya lost everything. You're alone. You have to confront everythin' and that's tough for a little boy like you to handle. Or you can come with me.

YOUNG QUILL: Where are we going? Where does dad live?

YONDU: A few wormholes away from here, give or take. We'd be goin' places you'd never seen before. Places you'd never imagine to see. You'd have adventure, you'd have an experience, and you wouldn't have to live with no past mistakes. But...

YONDU smiles dangerously.

YONDU: You'd be travelin' with me. And my men ain't never much messed with Terrans. You'd have to make yourself useful, too, but....ain't you ever wanted to see what it's like beyond the life you have now? Beyond the planet you have now?

YOUNG QUILL: I thought my mom was kidding when she said my dad was a spaceman. I thought that he was an astronaut.

YONDU: Ya thought wrong, kid. Now are you in, or out? We've wasted enough time, and...well. Too long with this and you might not have any choice anymore.

YOUNG QUILL: ...Okay. I don't know if I'll like it too much at first, but I just...

YONDU: It gets easier, boy. Much easier.

YOUNG QUILL: I doubt it.

YONDU: OOH, CHILD, THINGS ARE GONNA GET EASIER.... OOH CHILD, THINGS'LL GET BRIGHTER.  

OOH, CHILD, THINGS ARE GONA GET EASIER... OOH, CHILD, THINGS'LL GET BRGHTER....

YONDU motions for YOUNG QUILL to follow him stage left. Lights rise on the RAVAGERS SHIP. The RAVAGERS CREW is inside and each take a look at YONDU and YOUNG QUILL as they enter.

CREW: SOMEDAY, YEAH, WE'LL PUT IT TOGETHER AND GET IT UNDONE. SOMEDAY, WHEN YOUR HEAD IS MUCH LIGHTER.

YOUNG QUILL takes a look around the ship. YONDU nods at his crew, and the sound of the ship's engines beginning to start up is faintly heard.

YONDU: SOMEDAY, YEAH, WE'LL WALK IN THE RAYS OF A BEAUTIFUL SUN. SOMEDAY, WHEN THE WORLD IS MUCH BRIGHTER...

YOUNG QUILL: What is this? Where am I?

YONDU: You're onboard the ship of the Ravagers. Currently you're on Terra, but you ain't gonna be for much longer. You're one of us now, kid.

RAVAGER 1: OOH, CHILD, THINGS ARE GONNA GET EASIER...

RAVAGER 2: OOH, CHILD, THINGS'LL BE BRIGHTER...

YOUNG QUILL: What is a Ravager?

YONDU: To make things all nice and simple-like, Peter - you're a pirate now. So act like one! 'Course, not too much like one. I can't promise that my men don't get antsy, and I ain't tasted no Terran before. If you get too ahead of yourself...let's just say the last stowaway we had...

RAVAGER 2: He was a great dinner guest!

RAVAGER 1: But very gassy.

RAVAGER 2: Was that you?!

YONDU: Shaddup, the both of yas! Or I'll go ahead and make you next!

RAVAGER 2 gulps. RAVAGER 1 almost laughs before YONDU smirks at him.

YONDU: That was a plural you. RAVAGER 1 immediately gulps as well.

CREW: SOMEDAY, YEAH, WE'LL PUT IT TOGETHER AND GET IT UNDONE. SOMEDAY, WHEN YOUR HEAD IS MUCH LIGHTER.

SOMEDAY, YEAH, WE'LL WALK IN THE RAYS OF A BEAUTIFUL SUN. SOMEDAY, WHEN THE WORLD IS MUCH BRIGHTER...

LA LA LA...

CREW continues singing and dancing. YOUNG QUILL takes a look aronnd the ship, with YONDU as his guide.

CREW (YONDU): SOMEDAY (SOMEDAY, SOMEDAY) WE'LL GET IT TOGETHER AND WE'LL GET IT UNDONE SOMEDAY WHEN YOUR HEAD IS MUCH LIGHTER

SOMEDAY (SOMEDAY, SOMEDAY) WE'LL WALK WITH THE RAYS OF A BEAUTIFUL SUN SOMEDAY WHEN THE WORLD IS MUCH BRIGHTER

YONDU: OOH, CHILD, THINGS ARE GONNA GET EASIER... OOH, CHILD, THINGS'LL GET BRIGHTER...

YOUNG QUILL: OOH, CHILD, THINGS ARE GONNA GET EASIER... OOH, THINGS'LL GET BRIGHTER...

CREW: RIGHT NOW!

The sound of the ship taking off is heard.

CREW (YONDU): RIGHT NOW!

RIGHT NOW!

RIGHT NOW! (YOU JUST WAIT AND SEE, HOW THINGS ARE GONNA BE) RIGHT NOW! (YOU JUST WIAT AND SEE, HOW THINGS ARE GONNA BE..)

YOUNG QUILL grins, standing at the front of the ship as the lights go out.

Lights rise again on the RAVAGER SHIP, A FEW WEEKS LATER. YOUNG QUILL is holding a gun and aiming at a target. He curls his tongue in concentration, almos fires--

YONDU: Quill! I need you!

And YOUNG QUILL accidentally fires and lets out a yelp.

YONDU: What was that?!

YOUNG QUILL: Uh, nothing, Yondu! Just...nothing you need to worry about. Uh. Mark...lin did it!

YONDU: Marklin, get your yellow butt over here!!!

YOUNG QUILL: (quietly, staring down) I didn't even know we had a Marklin.

YONDU: Quill! While I'm dealing with this yellow krutacker, you go out and do what you do best!

YOUNG QUILL (mockingly) and YONDU: 'Crawl into all the little places we can't reach because you's scrawny and small enough.'

YOUNG QUILL: Yeah, I know. Orrr...you'll eat me. (rolls his eyes) Okay. Going.

YOUNG QUILL flicks on his mask, stepping out center stage onto an unfamiliar planet.

YOUNG QUILL: You gotta love that fresh, unbreathable toxic air. Mmm mm. That's the stuff. Love it. Thanks, Yondu! You're a great parental substitute! Ten out of ten! ....I miss--...ugh, whatever.

YOUNG QUILL turns on his walkman, slipping his headphones onto his head.

YOUNG QUILL and CREW: HAIL!  (HAIL!) WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOUR HAIR - YEAAAH HAIL! (HAIL!) WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOUR MIND AND YOUR SIGN? OH-OH-OH

YOUNG QUILL slides, a confident grin on his face under the mask, which he flicks off for an instant to show off....before coughing and then continuing the song.

YOUNG QUILL and CREW: HAIL! (HAIL!) NOTHIN' THE MATTER WITH YOUR HEAD BABY, FIND IT, COME ON AND FIND IT HAIL! WITH IT BABY, 'CAUSE YOU'RE FINE AND YOU'RE MINE AND YOU LOOK SO DIVINE...

ALL: COME AND GET YOUR LOVE! COME AND GET YOUR LOVE! COME AND GET YOUR LOVE! COME AND GET YOUR LOVE!

YOUNG QUILL dances around for a few minutes before letting out a sigh, and calling YONDU on a wrist communicator device. YOUNG QUILL: Yondu, I'm not seeing anything!

YONDU: Keep lookin', boy! I know there's somethin' out there! Wouldn't send you out for nothin'!

YOUNG QUILL sighs before turning off the communicator. He looks off into the distance, daydreaming.

YOUNG QUILL: I can't wait for the day I'm old enough to not have to listen to this. I'm going to be super cool. Like Han Solo, but better.

QUILL steps on stage as a spotlight shines on him stage right, a triumphant grin on his face.

YOUNG QUILL: I'm going to be suave!

QUILL winks, pointing fingerguns at the audience.

YOUNG QUILL: Cool!

QUILL smooths his hair back, trying to look as cool as possible.

YOUNG QUILL: Capable!

QUILL pulls a small tracking device out of his pocket, staring at it intently as if he knows everything.

YOUNG QUILL: ....Honestly I'm probably really overestimating myself.

QUILL pauses, and puts his hand over his heart in an 'emotionally wounded' gesture, looking at YOUNG QUILL with a surprised frown.

QUILL: Wow, rude.

Both QUILL and YOUNG QUILL look at each other and shrug.

YOUNG QUILL and QUILL: HAIL! (HAIL!) WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU? FEEL RIGHT

QUILL: DON'T YOU FEEL RIGHT, BABY?

QUILL and YOUNG QUILL: HAIL! (OH, YEAH!) GET IT FROM THE MAIN VINE, ALRIGHT! I SAID-A FIND IT (FIND IT) GO ON AND LOVE IT IF YOU LIKE IT (YEAH!) HAIL! (HAIL!) IT'S YOUR BUSINESS IF YOU WANT SOME, TAKE SOME

YOUNG QUILL: GET IT TOGETHER, BABY!

ALL: COME AND GET YOUR LOVE! COME AND GET YOUR LOVE! COME AND GET YOUR LOVE! COME AND GET YOUR LOVE! YOUNG QUILL and QUILL: COME AND GET YOUR LOVE (COME AND GET YOUR LOVE)

ALL: COME AND GET YOUR LOVE NOW!

YOUNG QUILL and QUILL: COME AND GET YOUR LOVE (COME AND GET YOUR LOVE)

ALL: COME AND GET YOUR LOVE NOW!

At this point, a group of MEN WITH GUNS have stepped on stage. YOUNG QUILL and QUILL are still dancing, oblivious to this. They approach AN ORB on a pedistal. QUILL picks it up first, stares at it, shrugs, and hands it to YOUNG QUILL. YOUNG QUILL blinks, taking it, tossing it up and down in his hands, then shrugs again and gives it back to QUILL.

YOUNG QUILL and QUILL: COME AND GET YOUR LOVE (COME AND GET YOUR LOVE)

ALL: COME AND GET YOUR LOVE NOW!

YOUNG QUILL and QUILL: COME AND GET YOUR LOVE (COME AND GET YOUR LOVE)

ALL: COME AND GET YOUR LOVE NOW!

YOUNG QUILL and QUILL: COME AND GET YOUR LOVE!

They turn, and strike identical poses until a MAN WITH GUN pokes QUILL in the back with his gun.

MAN WITH GUN: Are you about done?

QUILL: Hang on. The audience is still applauding. (blows kisses towards audience) Thank you! Thank you! I'll be here all week! Try the veal!

MAN WITH GUN: ....Who are you even talking to?

QUILL: (blinks in confusion, motions to audience) There's a....you know what, forget it. What's up, why the, uh...friendly greeting, fellas?

MAN WITH GUN: Drop the orb! Now!

QUILL: (drops the orb) Hey, hey, you got it, man! No need to get hostile, I'm just a junker!

MAN WITH GUN: You're wearing Ravager garb!

QUILL: ....Wh--this old thing? I got this at an intergalactic flea market, it was a steal. (beat) Literally. I stole it. I don't know what you're talking about!

MAN WITH GUN: You're lying!

YOUNG QUILL: Waitwaitwait! You're supposed to fear me! I mean, you will, when you hear my name! Because I'm the legendary...

YOUNG QUILL and QUILL: Star-Lord!

There is an abrupt silence as the MEN WITH GUNS all look confused.

MAN WITH GUN: ...Who?

Another silence. YOUNG QUILL slowly pats QUILL on the back.

YOUNG QUILL: Well. I've done all I can do. You're on your own, me.

YOUNG QUILL exits stage right. QUILL is left alone with the MEN WITH GUNS.

QUILL: (dejected mumbling) ....You're the worst, young me.

The MEN WITH GUNS cock their guns. QUILL not-so-subtly picks up the ORB from the ground, looks around, and begins to hum a tune, attempting to shuffle off stage.

MAN WITH GUN: ...He's getting away! After him!

QUILL: Uh! GOTTA EAT TO LIVE, GOTTA STEAL TO EAT OTHERWISE WE'D GET ALONG!

MEN WITH GUNS: WRONG!

QUILL: D'ast, I didn't think they'd know how to respond to that!!! Plan B!

He bolts off-stage. The men with guns follow in pursuit. The lights dim, then slowly rise. There is a man center-stage surrounded by WORSHIPPERS. This man is RONAN THE ACCUSOR. Music slowly swells up as worshippers bow at his feet.

WORSHIPPERS: WELCOME TO YOUR LIFE THERE'S NO TURNING BACK EVEN WHILE WE SLEEP WE WILL FIND YOU ACTING ON YOUR BEST BEHAVIOR TURN YOUR BACK ON MOTHER NATURE

RONAN: EVERYBODY WANTS TO RULE THE WORLD

RONAN hits the end of his hammer against the ground lightly.

RONAN: They've called me a madman. A zealot. A dangerous criminal. Yet they - and the rest of the galaxy - have done worse. We Kree are powerful. Remorseless. But because we are simply right, we are shamed. And that is how I am no longer Ronan. I am Ronan...the Accusor. I have no choice, however. The only man to trust me, is Thanos...with his two daughters. Nebula! Gamora! Come!

Two women walk on stage. One woman is green-skinned, and doesn't bother to look RONAN or his WORSHIPPERS in the eye, seeming to try to deliberately avoid their gaze. This woman is GAMORA. Across from her is her sister, NEBULA, who is blue with cybernetic implants. She sneers at the WORSHIPPERS and RONAN disgustedly.

NEBULA: IT'S MY OWN DESIGN

GAMORA: IT'S MY OWN REMORSE

RONAN: HELP ME TO DECIDE HELP ME MAKE THE MOST

GAMORA: OF FREEDOM

NEBULA: AND OF PLEASURE

GAMORA: NOTHING EVER LASTS FOREVER

WORSHIPPERS: EVERYBODY WANTS TO RULE THE WORLD

NEBULA lets out an annoyed huff, as GAMORA glances at her.

NEBULA: I do not believe we came here simply to be backup for your shoddy musical numbers, Ronan. What is required of us?

RONAN: You shall be tracking down an orb that is beyond powerful, for it contains a mystical, powerful infinity stone. It is in the possession of someone else based on hearsay, and Thanos wishes to have it.

NEBULA: Ah. I shall not let father dow--

RONAN: By 'you' I meant Gamora.

NEBULA freezes, and slowly glares at GAMORA, who shrugs. NEBULA stares at her for a few seconds, before sighing.

NEBULA: And I suppose I just sit here and look pretty?

Beat.

RONAN: ....You're pretty?

GAMORA barely resists laughing. NEBULA growls.

NEBULA: Mark my words, sister. One day it shall be I that is sent to do these jobs for father. I shall be his favorite. And you shall be nothing. Nothing to anyone.

GAMORA: I would never wish that upon you.

NEBULA: Then that is what makes you an idiot.

GAMORA: Perhaps.

NEBULA: I CAN'T STAND THIS INDECISION

GAMORA: MARRIED WITH A LACK OF VISION

WORSHIPPERS: EVERYBODY WANTS TO RULE THE WORLD

RONAN: It does not matter who is the favorite child here. What matters is this - we are proving kree supremacy amongst the entire galaxy.

NEBULA: No, actually, I just want to one-up my dumb sister.

GAMORA: Neither of us are kree so neither of us care.

RONAN: (dejectedly) You could've...at least pretended.

NEBULA: SAY THAT YOU'LL NEVER, EVER NEED IT

RONAN: ONE HEADLINE, WHY BELIEVE IT? RONAN, NEBULA, and GAMORA: EVERYBODY WANTS TO RULE THE WORLD

RONAN: And Gamora. Don't get any ideas to betray us horribly and lead us to a magnificent downfall while you'e out.

GAMORA: (flatly as if reading a script) Why would I ever do that. It is not as if I hate everything you are doing and hate you and also wish to kill this man who is not my father and actually killed my real parents. It is not weird calling him daddy at all. I do not want to kill him for that. Goodbye.

RONAN: (sincerely) Have a nice trip!

GAMORA: ALL FOR FREEDOM

NEBULA: AND FOR PLEASURE NOTHING EVER LASTS FOREVER

RONAN: EVERYBODY WANTS TO RULE THE WORLD

Lights dim as music fades out. A voice speaks up while the stage is still not lit, and a spotlight shines into the audience.

ROCKET: They couldn't have paid me to watch this kind of stuff.

A cybernetic raccoon - in all actuality, a person with raccoon ears and a tail - rises from one of the back-row seats as a spotlight shines on him. This is ROCKET RACCOON, a bounty hunter.

ROCKET: I mean, if you'd enjoy yourself seeing stuff like that? I hate to say it, but there's something probably wrong with you. (laughs) But hey, hey. (moves through the audience, points out one) Look at Mr. Smiles over here. Where's your wife, old man? She's in the bathroom, that it? This is a packed house, buddy, don't try to lie to me. You're probably seeing that poor girl over there. (smirks at the girl) Y'know, you can do better. Make sure to give Rocket Raccoon a call if you want to walk a bit on the wild side, babe. (clicks his tongue and glances around) Wait, has anyone seen--talking tree, about yay high? Groot? Groot?!

GROOT, a talking tree, walks out from stage left.

GROOT: I am Groot.

ROCKET: Ah--bw--the production of Hamilton down the street ain't got nothin' on us! I only got sick of it after hearing about it for the 60 millionth time! There's only so much you can do with humie history before it puts me to sleep! But we-- we have showstoppers, my friend. So don't go sneaking out to 'check what's going on'! You didn't even buy a ticket!

GROOT: I am Groot.

ROCKET: ....HOW MANY UNITS DID THAT COST?!?!

GROOT: I am Groot.

ROCKET: ....You ask before you buy these obnoxiously overpriced tickets, it's not--I don't care that you got two!  Now we've gotta make all that back! And it ain't gonna be easy!

Music begins to swell as Rocket storms on stage.

ROCKET: ....No. No. I'm not singing. Not right now. I've got priorities. We need to find a way to make that back--and fast.

ROCKET pulls out a strange device. He moves it around, and then gapes.

ROCKET: The Ravagers--they put this bounty out on this one humie, and it's...d'ast, Groot, if we could handle this, we could have enough units to set us for life! I'm talking the high life, my friend!

GROOT: I am Groot?

ROCKET: That actor is not that great and I have no idea why you'd want to meet him but he'd probably do it for even a fraction of the money we're about to walk into. Let's see, our target is...Peter Jason Quill.

A spotlight shines on QUILL, who walks through one of the aisles in the audience, tossing the ORB up and down in the palm of his hand. Music begins.

QUILL: TONIGHT, I'M GONNA HAVE MYSELF A REAL GOOD TIME... I FEEL ALI-I-I-IVE....

GAMORA walks in from stage right, brandishing a sword.

GAMORA: AND THE WORLD, WE'LL TURN IT INSIDE OUT, YEAH..

GROOT: I AM GROOT I AM GRO-OO-OOT...

ROCKET: SO

ROCKET, GAMORA, QUILL, and GROOT see each other and cautiously all near center stage from their positions.

GAMORA: DON'T

ROCKET: STOP

QUILL: ME

GROOT: I AM GROOT

ROCKET: DON'T

GROOT: I AM GROOT

GAMORA: ME

QUILL: NOW CAUSE I'M--

GROOT: AM GROOT, I AM GROOT

GAMORA makes a lunge for QUILL, who barely dodges, letting out a little hiss.

QUILL: I'M A SHOOTING STAR LEAPING THROUGH THE SKY LIKE A TIGER, DEFYING THE LAWS OF GRAVITY

ROCKET makes another lunge for QUILL, but ends up falling over instead.

QUILL: I'M A RACING CAR PASSING BY, LIKE LADY GODIVA I'M GONNA GO GO GO, THERE'S NO STOPPING ME!

GROOT attempts to grab QUILL this time, but ends up grabbing GAMORA instead and fighting with her while ROCKET attempts to pick himself up.

QUILL: I'M BURNING THROUGH THE SKY, YEAH! TWO HUNDRED DEGREES, THAT'S WHY THEY CALL ME MISTER FAHRENHEIT! I'M TRAVELING AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT!

Lights rise on the set, which is the city of XANDAR. Citizens are already passing by within it.

CITIZENS: I WANNA MAKE A SUPERSONIC MAN OUTTA YOU! DON'T STOP ME NOW!

QUILL: I'M HAVING SUCH A GOOD TIME I'M HAVING A BALL

CITIZENS: DON'T STOP ME NOW!

QUILL: IF YOU WANNA HAVE A GOOD TIME, JUST GIVE ME A CALL!

CITIZENS and QUILL: DON'T STOP ME NOW ('CAUSE I'M HAVING A GOOD TIME) DON'T STOP ME NOW (YES, I'M HAVING A GOOD TIME)

QUILL: I DON'T WANNA STOP AT ALL!

ROCKET has picked himself up and has readied his gun, a smirk on his face. QUILL notices, and immediately tries to bolt while ROCKET takes aim.

ROCKET: YEAH, I'M A ROCKET SHIP ON MY WAY TO MARS ON A COLLISON COURSE I AM A SATELLITE, I'M OUT OF CONTROL

GAMORA has already risen up next to QUILL after tossing GROOT aside. ROCKET messes up his aim and accidentally shoots GAMORA in the foot, and she falls into QUILL's arms.

QUILL: (flirtatiously) I'M A SEX MACHINE, READY TO RELOAD LIKE AN ATOM BOMB

GAMORA punches him, and ROCKET shoots him. He lets out a shriek and lands on the ground, but not before ROCKET shoots GAMORA as well.

ROCKET: ABOUT TO OH-OH-OH-OH EXPLODE! I'M BURNING THROUGH THE SKY, YEAH TWO HUNDRED DEGREES, THAT'S WHY THEY CALL ME MISTER FAHRENHEIT! I'M TRAVELING AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT!

CITIZENS: I'M GONNA MAKE A SUPERSONIC WOMAN OF YOU!

GAMORA, QUILL, and GROOT pick themselves up, and circle with ROCKET cautiously as they did before. They dive at each other, and continue fighting as NOVA CORPS are called in.

QUILL: DON'T STOP ME, DON'T STOP ME, DON'T STOP ME

GAMORA: DON'T STOP ME, DON'T STOP ME, OOH, OOH, OOH

GROOT: I AM GROOT, I AM GROOT

ROCKET: DON'T STOP ME, DON'T STOP ME, OH YEAH!

They all forget temporarily that they're supposed to be fighting and start dancing instead, because they are idiots. QUILL begins air-guitaring and they all cheer.

GAMORA: I'M BURNING THROUGH THE SKY, YEAH!

ROCKET: TWO HUNDRED DEGREES, THAT'S WHY THEY CALL ME MISTER FAHRENHEIT!

QUILL: I'M TRAVELING AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT!

GAMORA, ROCKET, and QUILL: I WANNA MAKE A SUPERSONIC MAN

GROOT: I AM GROOT!

CITIZENS: DON'T STOP ME NOW!

GAMORA: I'M HAVING SUCH A GOOD TIME, I'M HAVING A BALL

CITIZENS: DON'T STOP ME NOW!

ROCKET: IF YOU WANNA HAVE A GOOD TIME JUST GIVE ME A CALL!

CITIZENS and QUILL: DON'T STOP ME NOW ('CAUSE I'M HAVIN' A GOOD TIME) DON'T STOP ME NOW (YES, I'M HAVIN' A GOOD TIME)

QUILL: I DON'T WANNA STOP AT ALL... LA DA DA DA DA DA...

SAAL: This is the NOVA Corps!  You are under arrest! Put your weapons down and cease your dumb musical number!

The four slowly realize what they've been doing this entire time.

ROCKET: ...Aw, FLARK!

Stage lights shut off. They slowly turn on again, and ROCKET, GAMORA, and QUILL are in prison jumpsuits, with GROOT trailing after them.

QUILL: So let me get this straight. You two - Ranger Rick and Giving Tree over there - want me to hand over to the Ravagers. And you, attractive green woman who I probably have a crush on stemming from those weird times I watched too much Star Trek, you want the orb I've got because...your evil dad wants it? And thanks to that mess we got into at Xandar, we're all in jail now. The most high-security jail in the entire galaxy.

ROCKET: Pff. It ain't gonna be like I'm gonna be here for long. I've escaped more prisons than anyone in here has braincells. I'm gonna break out, and you're coming with me, because you're my meal ticket for the next good ten-to-twenty years. So about the rest of my life, give or take.

QUILL: As much as I appreciate the offer--

PRISONER 1 smirks at QUILL. ROCKET glances between the two, and snaps his fingers. GROOT immediately shoves PRISONER 1 away, looming over him intimidatingly.

ROCKET: Listen up, freaks! This one, right here - this is OUR booty! IF you want him, you go through us! Or more accurately, WE go through YOU! Ya got that?! There are mumbles of agreement from the various PRISONERS. ROCKET looks back at QUILL with a smirk.

ROCKET: You were saying?

QUILL: ....No comment.

ROCKET winks at him before QUILL shakes his head. During this conversation, a group of PRISONERS has stolen GAMORA. QUILL glances back to look for her, and realizes she's not there.

QUILL: Hang on, we're missing--!!

ROCKET: Wait. She's supposed to be the most dangerous woman in the galaxy, how did she let some common prisoners capture her so easily?

QUILL and ROCKET look at each other with a grimace.

QUILL: Plot convenience?

ROCKET: Plot convenience.

GROOT: I am Groot.

ROCKET, QUILL, and GROOT make their way to the other side of the prison, where GAMORA is being held at knifepoint by a prisoner. A figure looms over the prisoner, and pushes him aside, taking his knife.

DRAX: Finally. What I've been waiting for my entire life...

QUILL: Wait, time out, that guy hasn't been introduced yet.

ROCKET: That's, uh, that's Drax. The Destroyer. He's been on a revenge quest ever since Ronan killed--

DRAX: My beautiful wife, and my innocent daughter!

ROCKET: ....Yeah. His favoite words are 'die', 'stab', and he's got a bit of an ego. Plus as much as I love fighting? This guy loves it even more. Which is really saying something.

DRAX: It helps fill a void.

ROCKET: I get'cha. (nod)

QUILL: Well, we've gotta save Gamora!

ROCKET: ...Uh. Why? She's kind of the daughter of one of the worst warloads of the entire galaxy and by all accounts she should probably be able to save herself because she's apparently the most dangerous woman in the galaxy unless that was total BS.

QUILL: Because she's hot!

ROCKET: That's debatable.

GROOT: I am Groot.

QUILL: See, he agrees.

ROCKET: No, he said you're shallow and pedantic.

QUILL: I don't even know the definition of the word.

DRAX and GAMORA exhange a glance as QUILL and ROCKET argue in the background.

DRAX: ....Honestly at this point I am debating as to whether it would be a greater punishment to leave you alive and trapped with them or to kill you. Either one seems very satisfying.

GAMORA: I'm dead inside either way so you know. Take your pick.

DRAX: I'm so sorry for you.

GAMORA: HEY! YOU TWO WANNA HELP ME, OR ANYTHING?!

ROCKET: NOT PARTICULARLY!

QUILL: Ah! Um! Hey!

DRAX turns around and looks at QUILL. QUILL freezes for a second.

QUILL: ...IF YOU LIKE PINA COLADAS AND GETTING CAUGHT IN THE RAIN IF YOU'RE NOT INTO HEALTH FOOD IF YOU HAVE HALF A BRAIN IF YOU LIKE MAKING LOVE AT MIDNIGHT IN THE DUNES OF THE CAPE YOU'RE THE LOVE THAT I'VE LOOKED FOR WRITE TO ME AND ESCAPE

DRAX: What.

QUILL abruptly jazz-hands. ROCKET facepalms. GAMORA simply stares. DRAX glances between GAMORA and QUILL.

DRAX: I've made up my mind. It is greater punishment to leave you alive. However, it leaves my killing urges unfufilled.

QUILL: I could always use a new murderous friend. And you're a name character, so you're clearly supposed to be part of the group in some way or fashion. How about it?

DRAX: .....Sure. Why not.

QUILL: Sweet. Okay, how are we getting out of here, though?

DRAX: Don't know. (looks at PRISONER 2) I like this knife. I'm keeping it.

PRISONER 2: (quietly) ....That was my favorite knife....

ROCKET, QUILL, GROOT, GAMORA, and DRAX walk back to the other side of the prison - stage right. Everyone stares at ROCKET.

ROCKET: ....Alright, I've got a plan. Quit giving me the eyes. I'm going to need you all to go along with it, and one of you to get me that prosthetic leg over there. I need it.

QUILL: Roger. What are you going to do?

ROCKET: Ahem. HEY, EVERYONE! I CAN'T STOP THIS FEELING DEEP INSIDE OF ME GIRL, YOU JUST DON'T REALIZE WHAT YOU DO TO ME WHEN YOU HOLD ME IN YOUR ARMS SO TIGHT YOU LET ME KNOW EVERYTHING'S ALRIGHT IIIIIIIIIIII'M

PRISONERS: HOOKED ON A FEELING!

ROCKET: I'M HIGH ON BELIEVING

PRISONERS: THAT YOU'RE IN LOVE WITH ME!

QUILL: LIPS AS SWEET AS CANDY ITS TASTE IS ON MY MIND

DRAX: GIRL, YOU GOT ME THIRSTY FOR ANOTHER CUP OF WINE

GAMORA: GOT A BUG FROM YOU, GIRL BUT I DON'T NEED NO CURE

ROCKET: I'LL JUST STAY A VICTIM IF I CAN'T BE SURE!

QUILL darts off to get the leg. The rest of the future GUARDIANS continue the song.

ROCKET: ALL THE GOOD LOVE WHEN WE'RE ALL ALONE KEEP IT UP, GIRL YEAH, YOU TURN ME ON

GAMORA: IIIIIIIIIII'M

PRISONERS: HOOKED ON A FEELING!

GUARDIANS: I'M HIGH ON BELIEVING THAT YOU'RE IN LOVE WITH ME

The PRISONERS continue dancing and singing as the GUARDIANS slowly make their way towards the exit. They'e stared at, and freeze.

ROCKET: Okay, now let's bring it down slow, folks.

GAMORA: ALL THE GOOD LOVE

DRAX: WHEN WE'RE ALL ALONE

QUILL: KEEP IT UP, GIRL

ROCKET: YEAH, YOU TURN ME ON

GROOT and PRISONERS: IIIIIIIIIIIII AM GROOT! ('M HOOKED ON A FEELING!)

DRAX: I'M HIGH ON BELIEVING

GAMORA: THAT YOU'RE IN LOVE WITH ME

ROCKET: I'M HOOKED ON A FEELING! AND I'M HIGH ON BELIEVING

QUILL: THAT YOU'RE IN LOVE WITH ME I SAID I'M HOOKED ON A FEELING! AND I'M HIGH ON BELIEVING

DRAX: THAT YOU'RE IN LOVE WITH ME...

With the PRISONERS distracted, the GUARDIANS scurry out. The lights dim. The lights come back. Everyone is now on KNOWHERE.

GAMORA: So what was that back there?

ROCKET: That was the more classy version of a prison riot.

QUILL: Yeah, that's nice, but why did we need the leg?

ROCKET: Pff...snrk...because I thought it'd be funny! How did that guy look without his leg? Did he, like, try to dance on one leg?! (laughs)

QUILL: Dude, I paid him for that!

ROCKET laughs again. DRAX lets out a sigh.

DRAX: Explain to me where we are and what we are doing here.

QUILL: ...We literally told you on the way over.

DRAX: I was not listening. I was thinking of something else.

GAMORA: Okay. We're on Knowhere to sell the orb for a profit to my dealer, The Collector. He pays top dollar for anything weird and exotic.

DRAX: That's nice. Why do I care?

GAMORA: There's a bar?

DRAX: You have successfully gotten me to care again. Excellent job, green wench.

GAMORA: Could you not.

DRAX: I could not could not.

QUILL: Alright, both of you, knock it off. Drax, if you wanna check out the bar, it's over there.

DRAX: I want to and I will.

ROCKET: Count me in too.

QUILL: Okay, Groot?

GROOT: I am Groot.

ROCKET: ....Yeah, okay, you can go watch that for a while.

GROOT: I am Groot.

ROCKET: What do you mean by 'I'll be there until Act 2'?!

GROOT walks offstage. ROCKET sighs, hanging his head. DRAX pats him on the back, and they go to have drinks, exiting stage left. QUILL and GAMORA are left alone.

QUILL: ....Sooooooo....

GAMORA: ....Yes?

QUILL: Well. I'm a yonug, attractive male lead, and you're--

GAMORA: No.

QUILL: But!

GAMORA: No. That is my final answer.

QUILL: Gamora. C'mon.

GAMORA stares at QUILL with a deadpan expression.

QUILL: I MUST'VE BEEN THROUGH A MILLION GIRLS I'D LOVE 'EM AND I'D LEAVE 'EM ALONE I DIDN'T CARE HOW MUCH THEY CRIED, NO SIR THEIR TEARS LEFT ME COLD AS A STONE BUT THEN I FOOLED AROUND AND FELL IN LOVE

QUILL and KNOWHERE CITIZENS: I FOOLED AROUND AND FELL IN LOVE I FOOLED AROUND AND FELL IN LOVE I FOOLED AROUND AND FELL IN LOVE

GAMORA: I'm into women.

The music abruptly stops with a record scratch noise.

QUILL: ...Oh.

GAMORA: So no, your pelvic sorcery will not work on me, Peter Quill.

QUILL: .....Okay, I need a love interest. We don't make money without a love interest. Um. Hm.

QUILL looks towards where GROOT left. Sighs.

QUILL: Okay. There are two choices for who my love interest could be at this point and they both make this play pretty progressive, honestly, so points to that. Let's see.

QUILL walks back into the bar and slides up to DRAX.

QUILL: IT USED TO BE WHEN I'D SEE A GIRL THAT I LIKED I'D GET OUT MY BOOK AND WRITE DOWN HER NAME BUT WHEN THE GRASS GOT A LITTLE GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE I'D JUST TEAR OUT THAT PAGE BUT THEN I FOOLED AROUND AND FELL IN LOVE

QUILL and KNOWHERE CITIZENS: I FOOLED AROUND AND FELL IN LOVE I FOOLED AROUND AND FELL IN LOVE I FOOLED AROUND AND FELL IN LOVE

DRAX: ...Quill.

QUILL: Yes?

DRAX: Leave me be.

QUILL: Okie-dokie. That's one out, there's....well. Okay.

QUILL slides up to ROCKET, who raises a brow.

QUILL: FREE ON MY OWN, THAT'S THE WAY I USED TO BE BUT SINCE I MET YOU BABY, LOVE'S GOT A HOLD ON ME!

ROCKET sits there stunned for a good couple of minutes, then looks at QUILL with utter confusion. QUILL smirks.

KNOWHERE CITIZENS and QUILL: (FOOLED AROUND AND FELL IN LOVE!) WHOO, IT'S GOT A HOLD ON ME NOW (FOOLED AROUND AND FELL IN LOVE!) I CAN'T LET GO OF YOU, BABY (FOOLED AROUND AND FELL IN LOVE!) I CAN'T STOP LOVING YOU NOW! (FOOLED AROUND AND FELL IN LOVE!) HEEEEEY!

QUILL drags ROCKET up and pulls him into a dance. ROCKET is still completely stunned.

QUILL: 'CAUSE I FOOLED AROUND, FOOLED AROUND, FOOLED AROUND, FOOLED AROUND, I FOOLED AROUND, I FOOLED AROUND, I FOOLED AROUND FOOLED AROUND AND FELL IN LOVE!

ROCKET: Uh, Quill?

QUILL: Yep?

ROCKET: You know what I am, right? What I look like here? Hi?

QUILL: I've slept with an Askavarian, do you really think I care that much?

ROCKET: Wait, seriously?

QUILL: Yep.

ROCKET: ....Well, this is marginally more acceptable since I don't look as weird as I could, I--

QUILL: (grinning) Yeah-huh?

ROCKET: ....No, wait, I'm a--I'm a flarking animal, Quill! Drax said as much! And I'm going to kill him for it!

DRAX: He is an annoyance who speaks of matters he knows nothing about.

ROCKET: He might be right but he's also an ass! I just--I'M GOING TO MURDER YOU!

QUILL: Rocket--ROCKET, HEY! HEY! TEN MILLION UNITS ROCKET! Work through this, and we'll all be rich, you're just--you're drunk.

ROCKET: Yeah, wonder why.

DRAX: Why does it even matter so much to you?

ROCKET: BECAUSE I DIDN'T ASK TO GET MADE! I DIDN'T ASK FOR ANYTHING! I DIDN'T ASK TO BE SOME CREEPY LITTLE BEAST!

QUILL: Rocket, you're not--

ROCKET: AND ALL OF YOU SIT THERE AND MAKE FUN OF ME! DRAX SAYS IT OUTRIGHT, QUILL JUST...MOCKS ME BY, I DON'T KNOW, FLIRTING WITH ME! GAMORA...GAMORA JUST LOOKS AT ME WEIRD!

GAMORA: I look at everyone weird.

ROCKET: BESIDE THE POINT! YOU'RE ALL ASSHOLES AND I CAN'T SAY I WON'T KILL ALL OF YOU WHEN THIS IS OVER!

CARINA approaches, her hands folded obediently as she looks around at everyone, and then stares down at the ORB intently.

CARINA: Pardon me, but--The Collector... would like to see you now.

ROCKET: Good. Great. Let's go. We're not taking Drax, he can sit and flarking stew, he doesn't want any money anyway.

The lights dim as ROCKET storms offstage, and everyone else exchanges glances and follows, apart from DRAX.

The lights raise on THE COLLECTOR'S LAIR. ROCKET, QUILL, and GAMORA enter. The COLLECTOR'S ASSISTANTS, identical-looking women step out from the other side of the stage and begin dancing. CARINA eyes up the orb as she stands in the middle

CARINA: WHERE HAVE ALL THE GOOD MEN GONE AND WHERE ARE ALL THE GODS? WHERE'S THE STREETWISE HERCULES TO FIGHT THE RISING ODDS? ISN'T THERE A WHITE KNIGHT UPON A FIERY STEED? LATE AT NIGHT I TOSS AND TURN AND I DREAM OF WHAT I NEED!

CARINA approaches QUILL, trying to make a grab for the ORB subtly. He looks at her, confused, until she continues.

CARINA: I NEED A HERO! I'M HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO UNTIL THE END OF THE NIGHT! HE'S GOTTA BE STRONG AND HE'S GOTTA BE FAST AND HE'S GOTTA BE FRESH FROM THE FIGHT! I NEED A HERO! I'M HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO 'TIL THE MORNING LIGHT! HE'S GOTTA BE SURE AND HE'S GOTTA BE SOON AND HE'S GOTTA BE LARGER THAN LIFE!

CARINA bats her eyelashes flirtatiously. QUILL grins. GAMORA shakes her head and ROCKET looks away, huffing.

CARINA: SOMEWHERE AFTER MIDNIGHT IN MY WILDEST FANTASY SOMEWHERE JUST BEYOND MY REACH THERE'S SOMEONE REACHING BACK FOR ME RACING ON THE THUNDER AND RISING WITH THE HEAT IT'S GONNA TAKE A SUPERMAN TO SWEEP ME OFF MY FEET!

COLLECTOR'S GIRLS: I NEED A HERO! I'M HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO UNTIL THE END OF THE NIGHT! HE'S GOTTA BE STRONG AND HE'S GOTTA BE FAST AND HE'S GOTTA BE FRESH FROM THE FIGHT! I NEED A HERO! I'M HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO 'TIL THE MORNING LIGHT! HE'S GOTTA BE SURE AND HE'S GOTTA BE SOON AND HE'S GOTTA BE LARGER THAN LIFE!

ROCKET: Would you all just flarking stop?! Where is your boss?!

CARINA: I do apologize. He appears to be...taking his time.

GAMORA: Great. Now can you quit with the little show you're putting on?

CARINA: UP WHERE THE MOUNTAINS MEET THE HEAVENS ABOVE OUT WHERE THE LIGHTNING SPLITS THE SEA I COULD SWEAR THERE WAS SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE WATCHING ME THROUGH THE WIND AND THE CHILL AND THE RAIN AND THE STORM AND THE FLOOD I CAN FEEL HIS APPROACH LIKE A FIRE IN MY BLOOD!

COLLECTOR'S GIRLS: LIKE A FIRE IN MY BLOOD, LIKE A FIRE IN MY BLOOD, LIKE A FIRE IN MY BLOOD, LIKE A FIRE IN MY - AAAAH!

CARINA, COLLECTOR'S GIRLS and ROCKET (mockingly): I NEED A HERO! I'M HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO UNTIL THE END OF THE NIGHT! HE'S GOTTA BE STRONG AND HE'S GOTTA BE FAST AND HE'S GOTTA BE FRESH FROM THE FIGHT! I NEED A HERO! I'M HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO 'TIL THE MORNING LIGHT! HE'S GOTTA BE SURE AND HE'S GOTTA BE SOON AND HE'S GOTTA BE LARGER THAN LIFE!

THE COLLECTOR enters. He looks around, and sees the production going on.

THE COLLECTOR: Carina, what is this?!

CARINA: ...There's an infinity stone in that orb. Unlimited power. And I intend to...I intend to use it! I WILL NO LONGER BE YOUR SLAVE!

I NEED A HERO! I'M HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO UNTIL THE END OF THE NIGHT! HE'S GOTTA BE STRONG AND HE'S GOTTA BE FAST AND HE'S GOTTA BE FRESH FROM THE FIGHT! I NEED A HERO! I'M HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO 'TIL THE MORNING LIGHT! HE'S GOTTA BE SURE AND HE'S GOTTA BE SOON AND HE'S GOTTA BE LARGER THAN LIFE!

CARINA snatches the ORB out of QUILL's hand and makes to open it.

QUILL: Wait, don't--!!!

ROCKET: Don't you dare--!!

GAMORA: Think about this!

CARINA looks at the three. Then at THE COLLECTOR.Then smiles.

CARINA: I NEED A HERO!!!!

She opens the orb. The room explodes internally. There's a flash of light, and then the stage lights dim as CARINA screams.

What did I do wrong? - Chandler Riggs

Okay so this wasn’t asked for. But I’m hecka bored and I have nothing better to do with my life. This is gonna be a little cute.. imagine I guess? Let me know if this is actually something yall wanna see more of :) Ps. Please keep in mind I’m doing this on my phone and not on a computer, and there’s probs gonna be some spelling/grammar errors. * summary * You work on the set of TWD, playing the role of “Olive”, young girl who was found on her own and quickly become friends with Carl. After a unexpected scene, tension grows. While on set, and off (within the fandom) a ship name is made. But for some reason Chandler doesn’t seem to fond of it. ———- “Carl, please. You can’t go out there. Do you have a death wish?” I grab onto his wrist holding him from moving forward. He takes a breath and looks back at me. “I’m sorry. I have to.” He turns again and starts to walk away. My eyes start to water. “Wait!” I blurt out. What am I doing. Chandler turns to me confused. That wasn’t part of my scrip.We both know that.But nothing happens. He keeps his act up and stares at me. I run up to him and take my hands, holding his face. His face goes stiff as he keeps his eyes on me. Why am I doing this? Why is no one stopping me? Why hasn’t anyone yelled cut??? “Please don’t die.” I say. In that moment, without realizing it. I kiss him. He’s taken aback and pulls away after the kiss. “I won’t.” He says finally walking away. The cameras stop, the lights turn off and the entire room is silent. “Wow. That was… wow.” The director walks over clapping. “Just so you know, we’re keeping that in. Was priceless.” He says patting my shoulder. (2 WEEKS LATER) It’s been 2 weeks since I pulled off that kiss in set. Chandler won’t talk to me unless we’re recording, which I don’t understand. What did I do? I get that what I did was unexpected and uncalled for. But there’s no reason to just completely stop talking to me. The ship name “Carlive” took way not to long ago, practically leaving Chandler speechless. “Just go up to talk to him. He must have a valid reason. Ask him.” I was talking to Melissa. She’s always been my on set mom. “Alright. I just really miss him, his smile… laugh. The way he would look me in the eyes every time we would talk.. now he just acts like I’m invisible. Like nothing.” “Sounds like you’ve fallen Y/N” I sigh knowing she’s right. “Yea..” She smiles taking me in for a hug. “I think I saw him over by makeup” she says pulling away. Standing, I wipe off my pants and make my way to Chandler. I spot him sitting on one of the lounge chairs scrolling through his phone. Taking a deep breath I walk up to him. “Chandler.” Nothing. “Chandler?” Not a word. “Chandler. Come on.” Zip zap, bipiddy bap, would look at that. nothing. I sigh and take a seat in front of him. “You know what? I’m really sick your shit. I don’t know why you won’t talk to me, I don’t know what happened between us. You’re treating me like complete shit and I’m really not enjoing it.” I look at him still scrolling through his phone and that’s when I’ve had it. I take his phone out of his hands and shove it in my pocket. He groans and finally for the first time in 2 weeks, looks at me. “Can’t you explain. I just don’t understand Chandler. After what happened you’ve completely shut me out. What did I do!?” He quickly stands looking me dead in the eyes. “You wanna know what you did to me? You wanna know why I don’t talk or even look at you anymore unless I have to? You wanna know why I hate that fucking ship name so much!?” He’s suddenly got me pinned up against the wall his lips by my neck. My breath cuts short and I freeze. “Because you made me love you.” My eyes widen and I feel his lips ever so lightly touch my neck. “You made me love your eyes” kiss. “Your laugh” kiss. “Your lips” He looks me in the eyes placing his forehead on mine, then slowly kisses my lips. “You made me love all of you and the worst part is I’ll never get you… that’s why.” He pulls away and walks back to the rest of the cast. I let out a sigh and slowly slide down to the ground. “What the hell just happened?” —– OKAY SO YEA. idfk if that was any good. Probs not. IN WHICH CASE U SHOULD GO READ @strugglingfairy s STuFf cuz iTs acTuALlY sO gooD. Oh and this whole like… “What did I do wrong” type thing may or may not be very relevant to me rn cUz GUYS ARE CONFUSIBG YEA? anywhooo let me know if you want a part 2 or something? Idk. Kk love u bYe.
