So, umm, sorry if this is a sensitive topic, but did you ever tell the gang about your past before falling into the underground?

"I told everyone else once I was ready. And when I did, they still accepted me as a part of the family..! The kindness of monsters, I tell ya. It's insane."

"Asriel was right... Monsters are weird."

[hyaciiintho]

Kairi glanced out towards the setting sun, holding a papou fruit in her hand. It had only been a moments ago, she felt Sora fade away. The price for overusing the power of awakening. It hurt a lot, and none of the others dared to approach the red head quite yet. All expect for one.

The princess could sense Riku presence as he approached the tree. Tears continuing to fall, as she felt responsible for Sora’s fate. He had given so much to save everyone and going back in time to rescue her was the final straw. A part of her wondered if Riku blamed her. That was his best friend, someone he’d grown up with.

“Riku…I’m sorry I can’t stop crying. It hurts..I have no idea where he is..”

There was no hint as to where Sora ended up, all she knew was the three of them were separated once again. After the final fight with Xehanort, Kairi thought they could all be together again. To try and live normal lives finally but fate had other plans.

“Do you blame me..it’s okay if you do because I feel like it is my fault.”

Kairi didn’t want him to hold back how he felt, after everything they had been through all she wanted was him to speak his feelings. To finally have that talk they both been meaning to have since they reunited again. There was so much unsaid between the two of them and Kairi wanted nothing more than to allow Riku to feel like he could lean on her too.

(For Riku from my Kairi. It’s been a while so I am rusty but sliding her your way)

At first, Riku didn't know what to think.

It was as if he slowly fell into a DREAM, unable to believe what his eyes were seeing from afar as he watched Sora simply cease to be. He had stood there numbly, staring long and hard, as if in doing so would somehow bring the familiar brunet back into view. Sora, however, never manifested again.

He didn't know how or when he managed to approach Kairi, his feet carrying him to where Sora once sat, having now left the girl alone in place. Again, he remained STARING, a hand gently lifting and touching the spot their friend once occupied.

It was still warm.

A breath-- chest stuttering as it HITCHED somewhere deep within him. He felt the beginning of tears sting at his eyes, but willed the emotion away. Riku REFUSED to cry. Kairi was already doing enough of that for the both of them. Crushed as he was over their dearest friend's disappearance, it would do no good to crumble.

No, right now, Riku needed to be strong, a pillar of stability and strength-- for her, and everyone else who still stood on the beach, watching in muted horror as they waited for ANSWERS neither of them could give.

"Kairi..." Finally, he allowed himself to speak, confident in his ability to voice his words without the threat of EMOTIONS ruining him. "Hey... Listen to me..." Riku approached, a hand landing on her arm, silently seeking permission to come closer. After a moment's further pause, he enveloped her in a hug, holding tightly all the while. "It's... It's not your fault... okay...? Wherever he went... we'll find him. Together."

Together... it should have been the three of them. They should have FINALLY been together, all of them. They had won. They deserved that much, didn't they?

His heart hammered something awful within his chest, and he knew from how he held her, Kairi could feel every ACHE and suppressed cry with every beat.

➵ Part 1 | ➵ Part 2

ogeh for those who didn't read part 1, in short you're now in Price's office with Simon and the spicy is about to happen after you consent wheeze-

Yes…yes please…

You managed to speak as their faces leaned closer, staring at your lips as they fought to kiss you, foreheads brushing each other harshly as Prof. Price let out a frustrated sigh.

Let her choose then.

Once again, they stare back at you, Prof. Price giving you a smirk as he traced his hand around your neck while Mr. Riley tilted your chin, giving you a desperate stare as you gulped. You let out a soft chuckle as you darted your eyes between them.

Will this affect my grades?

That made them stop dead in their tracks, before Prof Price laughed hard. You felt the rumble and vibration of his chest on your back as Mr. Riley scoffs. 

Only one way to find out.

You blushed slightly as you contemplated, your eyes flicking over to Prof Price’s lips and then to Riley’s, but ultimately you reached out your hands and leaned forward towards him.

M-Mr. Riley sir...

Call me Simon, love.

A smug look is evident on his face as Prof Price only hums and lets go of you. Simon held your hands and brushed your wrists slightly as he stared into your eyes before closing in the distance, ghosting his lips slightly on yours as he asked once again.

Are you sure you want this?

You nodded again before a few taps on your neck reminded you.

Yes….Simon….

With the way his name rolled off your tongue, he let out another breath as he finally connected his lips to you. It was soft and sweet, slow and gentle, as if he were testing the water, one eye opening to see you in the midst of the kiss to observe you. You were in complete bliss, with your eyes closed as you melted under him, memorising every feeling and taste of his hot lips on yours. As you pulled apart slightly, he only gave you half a second to breathe before he latched onto you again; this time the kiss was much more aggressive and desperate.

God, you have no idea how long I've wanted to do this.

He breathes between kisses, hands holding onto your cheek as you moan softly, feeling ticklish when Prof Price also indulges himself on you, trailing wet kisses around your neck while he holds onto your waist, trailing downwards slowly before giving your thigh a squeeze through your skirt.

P-professor…?

Let me feel you, sweetheart, can I?

He rasped against your ears as you gave a nod, muttering a small “yes” to which Prof Price immediately turned you to face him, so now your back is leaning against Simon. You watched with anticipation as Prof Price let his hand roam around your thighs through the fabric, teasingly squeezing sometimes, before he grabbed the end of your skirt, pushing it upwards to your hips until your legs were in full display.

Christ, so this is what you’ve been hiding from us...

He licked his lips before holding your ankle, putting featherlight kisses from there as he trailed up towards your hips, deliberately not giving your inner thighs the attention as he hummed. You let out a shaky exhale as he stopped just shy of where your underwear is, which is still hidden under your skirt.

Be a good girl, and show us, would you?

Simon whispered into your ears, hands moving down from your hips down to your thighs, slowly pulling them apart and holding them up with his rough hands. You were beyond flushed at this rate as you realised how wet you were, an obvious damp forming in your high-rise brief that was baby blue with floral patterns of white camellia and tiny roses. You could hear Simon let out a small chuckle as he looked down.

Cute.

Prof Price tuts as he runs his hands along the lace at the waist opening, tugging it slightly and watching it snap, making your skin jolt slightly as you let out a quiet whine.

Professor…please…

Please, what hm?

You bit your lips as you turned away, burying your neck in Simon’s chest while your hands were twisting on his shirt. Simon kissed your head, his voice deep and low, as he urged you again by squeezing your thighs.

You've got to tell him what you want, that’s what good girls do yes?...

You take in another sharp inhale before finally muttering as you flutter your eyelashes and glance at Prof Price with doe eyes.

Can you touch me more? D-down there… please sir?

Attagirl…

He gives you a kiss on your forehead before finally tracing his finger around your brief and pressing his thumb on your aching clit, giving you the attention you desperately needed. He starts trailing a circle around it before using his fingers and swiping along your folds with an up and down motion, hissing at how incredibly wet you are.

Shit… all this for me? Mmm fuck…

You swallowed your moans, cranking your neck deeper into Simon’s chest and arching your back slightly every time his knuckles barely touched your clit. Prof Price seized this opportunity by kissing your exposed neck and gently nibbling it, careful not to leave any marks as he groans.

You needed more.

You grab his arm, fingers digging slightly into his biceps as you stare back at him with half-lidded eyes, your mind already foggy when they barely did anything.

Prof Price seemed to get your wordless pleas and smirk against your neck, giving it one more bite on your neck before he retracted his fingers as well. You looked back at him with a confused expression, watching as he gave Simon a look before kneeling before you as he rested his hands on your inner thigh.

Almost like on cue, Simon then takes off your brief, stuffing it into his pocket as he leans back, pulling you with him as he wraps his arm around your waist, expertly pulling the skirt and tossing it away. You gulped hard as you took in the situation, shaky hands covering your mouth as you stared down nervously.

You felt Prof Price’s hot breath against your now soaking sex; you heard him mumble something before he kissed your clit, then slowly on your entire folds, groaning against it and sending electric waves of pleasure straight to your spine. He licks up a stripe of your slit, making you whimper as you let out a muffled moan.

Want to hear you, pretty girl.

The vibration of his voice on your core makes you dizzy. You comply as you let go of your hand, unsure where to place it before deciding to rest it on Prof Price’s hair.

That’s it...use whatever you can grab and hang on to it.

He whispers before sucking your clit, another moan escapes as you try to close your legs, but Prof Price’s hands were firm, pressing and pinning your leg as he continued lapping at your pussy, taking in every sweet juice that was leaking out of your hole. You mewled, hands gripping onto his hair, legs already trembling as you felt the familiar coiling feeling around your tummy. As you slowly let more noises out, choking out a sob moan when you felt Prof Price’s tongue drawing letters on your bundle of nerves, you felt a pair of hands sneaking under your white button shirt, slowly raising up until it rested on your bra, fingers clasping around it with ease as Simon whispered into your ears.

Feels good, hm?

You let out a whine as he pulled down your bra, rosy pink nipples so hard that they were poking out from your shirt. He gave a low curse as he groped around your meaty flesh, trailing circles around your nipples as he kissed your ears, pinching them and smirking as he was satisfied that he had pulled a few high-pitched moans from you with that action. 

With the combination of Professor Price’s brutal pace of eating you out like it was his last meal and Simon’s teasing touches on your breast, you were quick to turn into a whiny, moaning mess. Pleas and names fall from your mouth as your body shutters from the pleasure you were receiving.

f-fuck…mmm…please please please-

Fuckk… taste so good love, god if I would’ve known-

Good girl, shhhhh shh shh....doing so well for us, hmmm?

Simon hushed and swallowed every sound you made when you got a bit too loud by kissing you deep, groaning, and letting out a small "mmhmm" himself as Prof Price thrust his tongue into your drenched pussy. He could feel you twitching as he dived deeper into you, his nose nudging your sensitive clit in the best way as he angled himself.

F-fuck…mmm s-sir!! No wait- haaaah - mmmm gonna cum-

Come for me darling, come on my tongue...I know you can do it

P-Price!!

With a silent yell and head thrown back, you arch your back as you come into his mouth, his deep groan sending your head spiralling as he remains still, lapping away the remaining juices until you push yourself away, whimpering when the oversensitivity starts to hurt.

Goddamn, you taste so fucking good, sweet girl.

He whispered as he stood up; you watched as your spend was covering his beard, glistening under the light; he licked on his lip as he gave you a devilish smirk; then leaning in as you felt you get pushed up, then you hear another groan and a soft moan.

Simon was kissing Price, licking around his lips and panting as he tried to take up all the juices. The scene made you blush at how hot that looked. Simon pulled away as a string of saliva connects between his and Price’s lips, staring back at you as he wiped it away with the back of his palm. 

He removed his shirt and trousers, revealing his toned body adorned with an intricate tattoo that covers his sleeves. You gasped slightly as you ran your fingers over them before getting lifted up by Price as he once again pulled you in to lean on his back.

You watch as Simon now stands before you, essentially getting caged in the middle between them as he kisses you. You can almost taste your own through his lips as the heated make-out continues. He pulled away, grinding himself on your thigh as you let out a moan, feeling just how hard and how big he was. You gave a gulp as you looked down and saw the obvious tent in his boxers, which…had skull patterns.

A small breath left your chest in a wheeze as Simon frowned slightly, biting your neck as he whispered huskily.

What’s so funny, hm?

You giggled slightly before whispering back as you tugged his boxers slightly.

Nothing.

He hums back a reply and watches as you slowly pull down his boxers, bit by bit, until his cock sprung free from the confines. You let out a gasp when you realised just how thick and veiny he is, and god you can already tell you’re gonna feel him for days. 

Oh…

You mumble with a blushing face as you slide your hand and circle the tip with your thumb. Simon groans as he leans forward with both arms resting on the table beside Price, his head digging into your neck as he kisses sloppily.

You can take him, can you?

You bite your lips as you stroke Simon further, anxiously nodding as Price nibbles on your ears, then he lifts one of your legs up with his hand as Simon lines himself up to your entrance. Anticipation pooling in your eyes as you hold your breath, feeling the tip of his cock slip up and down your folds, collecting the juices you had and mixing them with his precum. With a whispered warning, Simon then pushes the tip in as both of you groan in unison.

You grabbed onto his shoulder as he slowly eased in his length, shushing and cooing you the entire process before finally nestling deep inside of you. You felt him twitch as he let out a shaky exhale.

Fuck you’re so goddamn tight….shhhh shh I know I know, doing so well for me sweet girl…a-ah fuck…this pussy…

You whimpered and sobbed slightly when his hard cock bumped your cervix, claws digging into his back as pain and pleasure mixed together. He laid still for a few moments before breathless whisper into your ears. 

Can I move now…please? God you feel so good…

As you moan in reply and move your hips, he takes that as a yes as he slowly pulls out before completely plunging back into you in one motion. Your grip on him gets tighter as you dig your nails into his back, the action only spurring him further as he picks up his pace, biting down on your neck as he leaves the first of many purple spots on your soft skin.

F-fuck…s-so big… God, you feel so good. Si….hah-p-please…

Your pleas and moans got much louder, which was immediately handled as Price covered your mouth, his fingers digging into your thighs with a harsher force as he shushed you.

Shh shh…yeah feels good on his dick isnt it? But you need to be quiet darling…hush now…anyone can walk in on us…

That made your insides clench, and Simon groaned with a hiss as your gummy wall contracted around him, practically milking him at this rate. The fact that you could be caught at any moment, the risk of it all turned you on.

You nearly wailed when Simon hit you just right on the soft, spongy spot of yours. You felt him smiling against your neck as he readjusted himself, getting closer to you as he continued to strike at your weakest, most sensitive spot. You felt your orgasm quickly arriving as tears pricked at the edge of your eyes.

Mmmm-mmclose-!

You whimpered in a muffled tone as Price kissed the nape of your neck and Simon began to thrust faster.

Fuck….thats it…come on, this cock...be a good girl and come for me-

You were about to have the best orgasm of your life before a knock on the door made everything stop. It was as if time was frozen as you held your breath, horror and panic seeping into your eyes as you trembled. You could even feel Simon’s change in demeanour as he bit his lips.

Professor? This is Dr Gaz, ye free mate?

You glanced back up at Price with glossy eyes as you shook your head. Who knew what he said earlier was actually going to happen? And speaking of what he said, were the doors even locked?

However, it seems Price was unbothered, only giving you a calm look, but something about his eyes made you rethink that. You were right in your guts as Price slightly pushed you forward, making you jolt as it meant pushing yourself further into Simon’s dick, and that made Simon fucking whimpers as he choked on his breath. Price tsked softly as he yanked Simon’s hair, forcing him to look at him.

Quiet, you don’t want to get caught again, do you?

Simon hissed before nodding slightly, a frown and desperate look evident on his face.

Good boy.

You swear that you felt his already hard cock grow, stretching you out further as you bite on your lips, drawing blood at this rate as you try to hide your sounds, but it is incredibly difficult, especially when you are seconds away from achieving your high.

Price? Huh, it looks like he’s out.

You waited with shaky breaths, hearing until the sound of footsteps faded out, before relaxing again, sighing in relief, then hitching your breath again when Simon started moving suddenly at a relentless pace.

W-wait!! waitwaitwait-aH!

You slurred your words as Simon pounded you, feeling his ragged breathing and whines as he himself chased his high.

Fuckkk im not gonna last… shit-

S-Simon!!

You choked out as you clung onto him, your walls spasming around him as you felt his hips stuttering as he dug himself impossibly deep inside you.

Where do you want it, pretty girl?

Price rasped into your eyes as your mind grew hazy, pressing his hand onto your tummy, which made you almost scream out as you tried to answer back, drooling slightly as you barely got the words out.

o-outside… aHhh shit- mmmm g-gonna c-comeee!

G-good girl….hngn…go on... I want to feel you come. Come for me, my good girl-

You succumbed to the overwhelming feeling as you arched your back and threw your head backwards, clenching around Simon’s cock like a vice as he lay still, moaning into your ears as he waited till you came down from your high. He hissed as he took out his drenched dick, furiously pumping it as you slumped onto Price.

S-Simon…

You urged him on as you shakily caressed his neck; he rested his forehead on yours as he finally came, uttering strings of "yes" and your name as he let out ropes of white onto your tummy.

Good job, you did so well for us...such a good, good girl...and you did well too Simon...

Price purred as he gave Simon’s hair a ruffle before kissing your head as well. You breathed out with a satisfying smile as you picked up some of Simon’s spend and watched it trail around your finger, utterly in bliss as Simon watched you lick it and moan around your own digits.

God damn minx...

All three of you took a moment to calm down, basking in the afterglow, before you felt Price holding you up and carrying you to the sofa nearby, carefully placing you down on the soft fabric as he motioned to Simon with a tilt of his head. You heard shuffling sounds; presumably Simon was picking up his and your stuff as Price left, only to return later with a damped hanky as he wiped your tummy and thighs, being attentive as he avoided your sensitive area.

You blushed at the softness of their actions as Simon helped you wear back your skirt. You tried to sit up to leave only to be pushed back down by Price.

Rest for a bit, I’ll drive you back later.

You know where I live?

I don’t, as a matter of fact, but you can tell me later, alright, sweetheart?

You nodded and lay back down as Simon sat down beside you, with Price looming over you as he sat on the couch armrest.

A few silent moments passed before you cleared your throat as you spoke.

So do you guys do this often?...

Simon snapped his head back to you with widened eyes as you smiled, gesturing to yourself as you laughed.

Fucking your students, I mean...

No. We’ll admit, you’re the first.

Price said confidently as he poked your forehead, shaking his head in disapproval before he thought for a moment, locking his eyes with Simon, seeing his neck burning up as he turned away.

But we do have fun with each other sometimes.

John.

Oh, come on, it’s obvious now, isn’t it?

You hummed back as you stared at Simon, then back at Price, giggling slightly when Price flashed you a grin as Simon's face grew redder by the second.

Is that true, Simon?

He doesn’t answer you, only grunting as he glares at you from the corner of his eyes. You gave a laugh as you patted his back gently, grinning as you took in his bashful look, one that you wished to commit to your memory forever.

You wonder how the next encounter with them will be like as you let the situation sink in. Oh my god, you were quite literally fucked by your lecturers.

Next time, we should probably do this somewhere else. We can’t have others bother us again.

Simon nods at that as he rests his head on the couch beside you. 

wait….there’s a next time???

[yakuzacanons]

Hi! I love your headcanons so much! Can I request nsfw headcanons for Saejima and Kashiwagi with a s/o who wants them to be rougher in bed? Also telling them that she's not made of glass, so it's okay. Thank you!

Cracking my knuckles we are back on the NSFW train, I see y'all I hear y'all, we are going there all aboard choo fuckin choooooooooo

Saejima Taiga

Bless his big ass heart but it will take more than a single "You can be rougher..." to get him to actually do it. He can't help it! Man's the size of a house, at least in his mind.

Not that he dislikes that, mind you. He secretly loves being your big guy, being your human shield, all that jazz. Makes him kind of proud, in a way Majima would totally make fun of him for.

Please be patient because he really is trying. It'll like just start by him being more aggressive with his strokes, but if you keep asking for more, he will open up more each time. You have to tell him where the limit is.

Normally he's the type of guy who likes to see your face while fucking you but if you start asking for it rough, the position will change to suit that. You can expect to get it from behind more often. Like a LOT more often.

Saejima has never been afraid to show his strength during sex. He's lifted you up a few times, had you on a couple tables, he's even had you against the wall more than once. And he will definitely be doing all of those more. And in different places. And at different times. And harder. And faster. And-

You get the idea. If you say turn it up, he will either until you say stop or until he turns it up to a 10. Which he's fine with doing. If you can handle it...

Kashiwagi Osamu

For Kashiwagi, his holdup is his age. Yea, he's not bad looking for his age (actually he's quite good looking but he's far too humble to admit that or even think it) but he's always surprised when his partner, who is almost guaranteed to be younger than him, asks to be more adventurous.

It's less that he's surprised you want that but more so that he's shocked you want that with HIM. Specifically. He's kind of honored? Is that weird? He doesn't know. Probably because he IS a little weird (we love watermelon cold ramen)

Brave as ever, Kashiwagi has never not faced a challenge head on and this is no different. Sometimes literally head on. Like him eating you out head on. Like him biting your neck head on. Like him covering your mouth when you moan by kissing you head on.

Unless you specify what you mean by rougher, he's just going to start doing more in just about every way he can. New position? Why not. New toy? He'll try it once at least. Leaving marks behind? If you say so.

His approach is super interesting because it doesn't necessarily translate into him just going full dom/top mode like most would. Not to say he can't do that; all you need to do is ask and he will give it his best. His approach is just generally more sensual. His focus is about making you feel more overall, and intensely too.

Oh, being rougher is also totally going to translate into some edging and making you cum multiple times. And making you beg a little too. Old dog's got a few tricks up his sleeve.

Delving into the Mind - Ominis x FemReader

Choo Choo! All Aboard the Emotional Damage Train! Destination? Unresolved Childhood Trauma :) (low key tho, i've been going back and forth on posting this sooooo hopefully y'all like it)

Read this first -> Lessons into the Mind (i mean you don't gotta but im building off of that chapter)

Summary: In an attempt to strengthen his Legilimency, things take a turn for the worst and she's left wondering if it was worth it at all.

Word Count: ~2,400 words

Read my other Ominis Fics Here

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

She’s chewing on her bottom lip as she reads over her History of Magic essay when she feels it - a riling intrusion gliding across her mind. This isn’t her first time feeling it. At times, the sensation is so faint and gentle she doesn’t notice it at first. But right now, it’s glaring and she has to shut her eyes to not succumb fully to the sensation. It’s jarring, but she slowly eases into it. 

The Undercroft is silent; save for the occasional turning of pages. She drifts from her papers over to Ominis - the source of the sensation. 

His wand skims over the pages of his Herbology book while he murmurs some of the words to himself. He has a loving smile playing on his lips and she wonders if he even realizes he’s doing it - similar to how his hand searches for hers when they’re walking. She’s noticed he does it frequently during times of stress. She’ll see the furrowing of his brow and the thinning of lip, followed by a soft smile as soon as his mind connects with hers. She’s grown to enjoy the odd feeling, as it lets her know he’s thinking about her. 

She believes he’s only reading her emotions and not her thoughts. Otherwise, she’s positive he would’ve said something by now. Although, she hasn’t been able to fully validate - as asking him directly would make him stop all together and she’s grown fond of all forms of his touches. A devious idea strikes her. There may be a way to further test her theory. She smirks as she focuses on one particular emotion. A strong one. She watches him carefully for his reaction.

In an instant, his brows raise and his hand seeks her out until he’s able to grasp her arm.

“Is everything okay?” His distress brings about guilt for making him so concerned. 

She pats his hand with a strained smile, “I’m sorry. I was just testing something.” 

“Oh.” His head turns away from her, but she can still see the red tinting his ears. The sensation vacates her mind abruptly. “I apologize. I didn’t mean to pry.”

“There’s nothing to be sorry about, Ominis.” She quickly says. “I know you don’t mean to.” She brushes his cheek - running her fingers over the dark dots on his handsome, heated face.

He slowly turns back to her with a frown, “I shouldn’t be doing it at all. It’s not fair to you that I can dig into your mind whenever I please. Intentional or not.” 

“But, I find it so endearing. Especially when we’re apart. It’s nice to know you’re thinking of me.” She smiles.

He blushes with a scowl, “I’m glad you find my prying ‘endearing’, instead of rightly concerning.” He lets out a heavy exhale and he shuts his eyes, “We shouldn’t have entertained this. I don’t have control over it. And I don’t know why I keep gravitating to you.” 

She grabs his other hand, “How can you begin to control it, when you don’t know what it is you’re doing?” 

She squeezes his hands, “I believe you’re so hesitant of this because you don’t fully understand what you’re capable of. And there’s no better way to figure that out than by practicing. We can find your limits. Build your restraint.” 

“I would rather not practice such an intrusive ability on someone I care deeply about.” He snaps, his eyes narrowing.

She strokes the top of his hands with her thumbs and he eases from his bristled state, “You were so close to viewing an actual memory last time. Doesn’t that somewhat entice you?” 

He grimaces, “Of course it does. Doesn’t mean I should partake in such notions. I don’t possess enough restraint as is. Encouraging this any more - is reckless. You may find it ‘endearing’ now, but all it takes is one time for me to go too far.”

He squeezes her hands, “And I’d rather not lose you.”

She bites her lip as she takes in the concern written on his face. She cups his cheek and he practically melts into her touch - his eyes fluttering shut as he lets out a quiet sigh.

“I hear you. And I understand. We don’t have to keep practicing your Legilimency. I would never want you to do something you don’t want to. And I most certainly don’t want you to feel guilty about any of this.”

She strokes his cheek with a soft smile, “I also think you’re far more capable than you realize. And you have enough self control to not do anything rash. More than you give yourself credit for. Which is why I couldn’t imagine doing this with anyone else, but you, Ominis. I trust you.” 

He closes his eyes, pressing her hand more into his cheek. His head rests against hers with a sigh. He wishes she wasn’t so reasonable all the time.

“You are such a stubborn witch.” He pulls away with a sure nod. “Fine. But, you must keep your promise from last time. As soon as you feel even a slight bit of discomfort-,”

“I will let you know as soon as it happens. I promise.” She reassures him with a squeeze of his hand.

They shift to sit across from each other with their hands clasped together. He has his eyes closed, taking in deep breaths, before he slowly opens them. She meets his eyes and she’s immediately drawn in. He gasps.

“It’s even easier than last time.” He murmurs.

The pool of her current emotions is a familiar place to him. He uses this to ease him into the far more chaotic part of her mind. He braces himself as he’s assaulted by all of his senses. It’s like he’s touching a hundred different things all at once - coarse wood, silky fabrics, warm skin. He smells everything ranging from pleasant flowers, hearty foods, earthy mud, and disgusting rubbish. It’s the sounds which disorients him. A hundred upon a hundred conversations all happening at once - all talking over each other and he has to shut away the strong emotions tied to them. 

He’s beginning to be dragged down by the deluge and he can’t take much more. He wants it to stop. He wants it all to stop.

With a sudden surge, he demands everything to cease. To his surprise, the whirlwind he’s in dissipates. He lets out a relieved sigh. With his new found control, he begins to search for something in particular. Something familiar - something which resonates within her the most. Damp grass and rocks crushing underfoot, followed by the rich noises of the forest let him know he’s close to something.

There. 

He senses the same thing from last time. He’s quick to snatch it before the strand can escape. He forgets how to breathe as an image manifests before him. 

It’s the sky. 

He knows this is the sky even though he’s not sure how. It’s like he’s gazed up at this a hundred times before - and he almost feels unimpressed. He laughs to himself at how amazing it must be to find this to be an uninteresting sight. He wonders what sights do capture her intrigue - what she deems truly breathtaking, instead of mundane. They must be undeniably spectacular. But, he’s content with staring at the sky in total awe. Picking it apart piece by piece.

The first thing he admires is the blue - it evokes him the most. He knew colors could be rich and provoking, as described by numerous tomes and poems he’s read, and he’s shocked to see how true it all is. He finds blue to be a calm, pleasing color - one he could spend hours gazing at. Next, he takes in the gentle, white clouds rolling by. They’re impossibly fluffy with deep pockets of gray at their hearts. A tear rolls down his cheek at the memory frozen in his mind. 

More.

He wants to see more. 

He indulges, but instead of seeing more of the memory, he’s met with several. There’s so much flooding into him - too much. Images flash past until they all blur together. Smells and sounds take the rest of his senses and he’s left paralyzed. It’s like a searing knife is cutting right into his skull. He’s being tossed around in a whirlwind and he can’t stop it.

He doesn’t realize he’s fallen over and is laying on the ground until he hears her calling his name.

“Ominis?” He hears her whimper. 

He forces his hand to find hers and he grasps onto her. He hears her sigh of relief in return. She shifts closer to him and he does the same until she’s able to press herself against his side. He drags her onto his chest and she buries herself into him - calming herself with his scent. 

“That was… Merlin…,” She gasps - her head pounds against her skull. She wonders if she’s going to be sick with the way the sweat clings to her brow and her stomach flops. 

“Do you see the dangers of this now?” He hisses and shakes at how her voice whimpered out his name. Even now, the remnants of her fear and hurt lingers and twists at his heart - making his disgust with himself worsen. “I knew this was a mistake.” 

She closes her eyes to keep her tears at bay. Everything is too much yet not nearly enough. The lingering moment she experienced surfaces through her muddled thoughts. 

“I-I saw one of your memories.” She whispers. 

He says nothing, so she looks over to him. He’s turned slightly towards her, awaiting for her to speak, but otherwise he’s motionless. His memory begins to form more clearly, so she continues,

“You’re playing with a toy. A wizard. It’s your favorite.”

She stares at her palm with a slight smile, “You can feel the wood grain under the chipped paint and you know every nick and mark on it. The sun warms your face and you’re so happy.” She pauses with a frown, “Then you hear something. It’s your brother, Marvolo. You recognize his footsteps as they come towards you. You’re scared. And he… he teases you.” She shudders as Marvolo’s words repeat in her mind. 

“Then he rips the toy from your hand. He laughs so cruelly as he burns it. The smoke stings your nose. But, you refuse to cry. You know you can’t cry in front of him. It’ll only make it worse.” She gasps at the ferocity of which these emotions emanate within her. His emotions - from a past he tries so hard to keep buried.

“It feels like this memory is my own. Like I lived through it.” She notices the pensive expression upon his face and she strokes his cheek to ease his frown.  

“I’m so sorry, Ominis. I know you said they were horrible, but I never realized…,” She pauses as she recounts what he told her.

“How dare your father say-,” her voice cracks and she has to regain herself. “You experience the world in such a beautiful way. How you smell and hear,” she brings his hand up to her face and his eyes soften, “The way you touch, it’s all so heightened. You notice the tiniest of details - details that I’ve never observed before.  And I’m thankful I got to experience it as well. Even if it was an unpleasant memory.” 

He shudders - closing his eyes as he does - and he presses his forehead to hers. She’s so very warm, he thinks to himself. 

“I saw the sky.” He whispers. “It was beautiful.” 

He laughs with a slight smile. “I never thought I’d ever see such a thing. And now I have. And it was beautiful.”

She beams, “I want to show you so much more, Ominis.” 

His smile fades as he recalls the terror he put them through - at the greed he felt and didn’t control.

He shakes his head, “No. It’s not worth it.” 

“It is. I want to give this to you.” 

“It’s not to me.” He whispers. 

“But, we’re so close, Ominis. I can feel it.” She sits up. “One more time. I think I know what might help.” Her voice is full of excitement and it makes him want to be sick.

‘Let me help you, my sweet, darling.’

His mother’s sickly, sweet voice whispers in his ear and the ghost of her long fingers card through his hair. He shakes his head at the recollection.

He closes his eyes while his face scrunches from his head pounding. He sits up and he clutches her hand.

“Why? Why do you insist we keep trying?” He murmurs. “I thought you only wanted me able to feel you when you’re away - gallivanting the countryside and risking your life. Why are you insisting we delve into your memories?” 

“Of course I want you to be able to sense me when I’m away. But, you’re also so close to being able to-,”

“To what? See?” He snaps his head over to her with a sneer. “Was this your true reason all along? Is this your attempt to ‘fix’ me as well?” 

The way he says ‘fix’ makes her flinch and a bitter coldness floods her entire being.

“What?!” She exclaims, her eyes wide and her mouth parted. “N-no! That’s not at all-,”

“I am not some broken thing that needs mending!” He hisses. “You, and everyone else, seem to think that I must see, when no one has bothered to ask if that’s even remotely what I wanted.” His face contorts into a cold, harsh expression. 

She shakes her head, “No, that’s not at all why. I-I just thought-,”

“I never asked for this! For any of this!” His hand practically throws hers away, “You’re just as irresponsible and selfish as Sebastian. You both don’t know when to stop.” 

He turns his head away from her, “Leave me.” 

The command takes the air from her chest and freezes the blood in her veins. 

“Ominis.” She reaches for him and he backs away with a scowl.

“I said, leave me alone!” He snarls. 

She gasps, flinching away from him. Her lip trembles and she hurries to her feet. She feels his mind leave hers like a cold gale - shutting her out with a finality which twists her stomach and rips her heart a part.

“I-I’m sorry.” She whispers, her voice breaking and her eyes blur. She runs out of the Undercroft with his cold gaze haunting her long after she’s gone.

[mudskip-drabbles]

💬 — soupmates. Giovanni is now the sad one (⁠ㆁ⁠ω⁠ㆁ⁠) unusually quiet — something felt weird about him for a week — etc :3

send 💬 for an angsty starter drabble! (X)

Choo Choo! All aboard the Angst Train, next stop: Giovanni!

At first, Rick didn't understand why Molly, her friends, or any of Giovanni's Boys never seemed to pick up on how...different Giovanni had been in the past week or so. He'd even asked Molly, assuming that there was something he was missing, that Gio had talked to someone about what was bothering him and that was why no one was reacting to it, but...Molly had only met his concern with confusion. She was a smart kid, so if she hadn't picked up on how odd Giovanni was acting, then perhaps Rick was simply misunderstanding the situation? He was still learning how to live a 'normal life', after all...

So, he'd tried to ignore it like everyone else seemed to be, but it didn't go away as the days ticked on, and if anything, it had gotten worse. Rick had been musing to himself on if he should say anything -after all, asking Giovanni about why the air around him always felt so odd would be the easiest way to settle the whole ordeal- when he was struck with the sudden realization as to why he could feel what others couldn't: His epithet.

They'd discovered many things about his epithet since he'd washed up on that beach; that it 'disconnected' with enough distance, that Molly's epithet could sever his connection with someone should she use it on them with the intention of dumbing down that person's epithet, and that powerful emotions could be felt along the tether without either party intending it to be.

Giovanni had been feeling so sad that it was sending feedback through Rick's epithet. He had been putting up a happy act in front of everyone else, which was why no one noticed just how wrong things were. There was a bit of irony in this realization, however, seeing that it only came about because Giovanni felt Rick's worry through that same string that tethered them together.

"Hey uh...you alright over there man? You're making my chest feel all...heavy 'n stuff." Giovanni now mirroring the worry that had him speaking up in the first place, Rick's sudden epiphany left his mouth in a matter of seconds after it had clicked into place with the prompt: "You have been pretending to be happy." Something that apparently had a ring of truth to it, if the way Giovanni's face fell as panic shot through their bond was anything to go by.

"Oh...shit. Forgot you could do the whole...thingy-do." Clarifying with a gesture to mimic the 'string' from himself to Rick, Gio tossed the controller to the game he'd been playing aside with a deep sigh. "For the record, if it wasn't for the soul-thingy, you'd have no idea." Something that was not reassuring in the slightest. How long before Rick had Giovanni been hiding his emotions where no one could see them?

"I don't want to not know." He can't fix it if he didn't know. "Do you want me to not know?" If that was the case, he'd drop it and pretend it never even happened, even if it meant having to feel that heavy weight of sadness sitting in his chest for the rest of his life. Giovanni wouldn't hide something like this without a good reason, after all, he was always reminding everyone else how important it was to share your feelings with others in order to feel better.

Giovanni...didn't seem to have an answer to Rick's question, a harsh puff of air being breathed out until it petered down into a sort of raspberry once his lips met. "It's not that I don't want you to know, I just...didn't see a reason for you to know." Something that clearly did not make sense to Rick by the look of pure confusion that fell over his face. "You are sad, what other reason would you need?" Another sigh from Gio as he ran a hand through his hair, Rick using the few moments of it's span to make his way over to his friend and sit next to him on the couch.

"It's just something stupid, you know? And I know it's stupid, so why bother? It'll go away eventually." Rick did not like this reasoning.

"It is not stupid because you are feeling it! It is making you sad, so we must fight it with the power of friendship!!" In other words, he was here, if Giovanni wanted to talk.

This impassioned declaration brought a smile to Gio's lips after a brief pause of surprise, his hair falling into his face as he shook his head with a laugh.

"Can't really argue with you there, shades." A statement that had Rick smiling himself in victory, up until he watched Gio's fall as he brushed the hair back out of his face.

"It's just...I dunno, this whole fuckin' thing is still buggin' me. I know Molly said she doesn't care that I took her, and if she did she could tell someone at school, or hell, she could just go home on her own, she knows how the subway system works better than literally anyone I know! Like I said, it's stupid, but I still worry, you know? If I'm doing the right thing..."

Flopping back against the couch, an arm slung over his eyes as he slid halfway down in the seat, Giovanni let his words hang in the air, not even daring to see what sort of look they'd brought to Rick's face. Rick himself was silent for a moment, the man being even more confused than before this conversation had started.

"You are right, that is stupid." A statement that had Gio peeking from under his arm at just how intensely it had been declared.

"Come again?" He found himself smiling despite how most anyone else might take offense to such a parroting of their self depreciation.

"It is stupid that you believe yourself to be wrong. You have not one reason to, you have said so yourself! Besides, if Molly was unhappy, I would know." So firmly stated, Giovanni didn't realize just how right those words were at first.

"Why would you...oh...oh!! The- The thingy!!!" Bolting upright with realization, Giovanni almost kicked the coffee table with the frantic scramble from his slouch.

"The Thingy!!!" Was parroted with just as much vigor, Rick's smile so bright Gio couldn't help but return it. "Molly has felt nothing but happiness even before you two began to share in my dwelling, and it has only grown each day when she returns to us from the 'school'."

"No shit? You aren't fuckin' with me just to make me happy 'n stuff?" Not that Gio believed in such a thing, not when it came to Rick, something that was only reaffirmed by the horror such a question was met with.

"I would never lie to my friends!! You would know immediately, were I to be untruthful, for the guilt would eat me ALIVE!!!" Dramatic, but it got the point across, and even got Giovanni to laugh as a bonus.

Silence fell over them after his laugh dwindled down to only a smile, long enough that Gio once again felt worry stutter across their bond.

"...Did I fix the sad?" It was so genuine, the amount of pure concern those words carried with them, that it had Gio's breath getting caught in his throat as he answered.

"You kicked the sad's ass, dude! It never stood a damn chance!" And he meant it. When it came to Rick, he couldn't lie, and their bond had nothing to do with it.

"All thanks to the power of friendship! HAHAHAHA!" A crackle of blackened magic sparked from Rick's palms as he laughed, only for it to be abruptly cut off by him jumping up from the couch to greet-

"MOLLY!!! You have returned from the school!!!!" Like clockwork, he dropped everything to greet her at the door the moment it had clicked open, Molly already smiling even before she'd stepped into their apartment.

Giovanni watched for a moment as Rick bounced around Molly like an overexcited puppy, wanting to know everything she'd learned that day to 'add to their power'. Molly only laughed, her bag being set on the table as she pulled a book from it, the girl already off on an info dump about her planned science project on, of course, bears.

Wanting in on the excitement, Gio stood from the couch to join them at the table, only the thought of how stupid he had been able to flit through his mind before it was overtaken by a rather detailed explanation on grizzlies from the cub bouncing on her heels as she showed them pages of the book.

I avoided tumblr for too long and now there are people shipping Solar with New Moon....and I'm confused like....WHERE DID THIS SHIP COME FROM AND WHY ARE PEOPLE SHIPPING THESE TWO??? DID I MISS AN EPISODE?? DID I MISS ANY INTERACTION BETWEEN THEM??? WHAT DID I MISS??

I'm not sending hate to anyone or hating the ship (it sounds kind of interesting, I'm not going to lie). I just want to understand where this ship came from and what others see that I didn't see??? Can someone help me please?? 👉👈

"SUDDENLY"

Lol in reality I've been shipping them in secret for a long time. Gushing in my DMS to my friends about all their interactions for a long ass time. I've just been rambling publicly about it lately.

(mostly started with jokes between @witchysolfan and I in DMs cus ofc it starts out as jokes)

I pretty much started shipping Solar with Moon back when he was just called "Nice Eclipse"

I rambled a bit about it here.

But Solar does a lot for Moon, outside of the realms of just "helping a friend"

Solar was willing to sacrifice himself, not only for Lunar's sake, but to kill Eclipse, and Protect Moon's family. A Moon he doesn't even know. When his Moon has been nothing but cruel and abusive toward him.

Moon was unwilling to lose that sacrifice, and pushed Solar into the portal to save him, and Solar actually punched and cussed him out for it. Even if he was angry, he appreciated the save. Even if he thinks Moon did it for his own sake... just to "not let another person die" You can take this as personal as you want in "he didn't want to let his friend Solar die"

Not to mention, a few episodes later, Solar legit abandons everything he's ever known. He knows he reached a dead end and there's no saving his Sun or Moon. There's no hope of bringing Sun back. No hope of his Moon liking him. No hope of being loved, cared for or a family. His dimension is a dead end....

So he just shows up in Moon's Daycare... Like ..... And to MOON. Specifically... IS LIKE:

"Can I crash here......I had nowhere else to go..."

....That's like one of my top ten romantic troupes how.... like im losing my mind....

Solar is also appreciative of this dimension Moon in a way that he's not with his own Moon. Maybe he was seeing our Moon as a replacement for is, but I think their friendship evolved past this point.

The whole Solar rebuilding the Daycare in a Day episode and Moon gawking at him just made my heart soar. It felt very "As you wish" Princess Bride shit, you feel me?????

Not to mention, Solar and Moon get eachother's humor. They're both a bit of snarky sarcastic assholes and they like teasing each other. And maybe it was just me, but I could never take those teases in a familiar/family way.

Not to mention, Solar was the one that Moon ran to when he was struggling with his NewMoon identity... Not Sun, because his brother he felt just was missing the old him so he couldn't be honest. And Solar readily accepted that part of New Moon so readily.

Moon, in kind, does listen to Solar when he vents about his life and his problems and even suggests he takes breaks and make sure he's not overdoing it. He watches out for him too.

Solar even in the latest episode was so concerned when Moon got sucked into the portal, and even comforted Moon when Moon was being a bit existential about being "one of the dead ones"

They listen to eachother vent, Solar makes things for Moon, Moon even tells him he doesn't need to do all this just for them, and Solar insists he wants to.

Just all their interactions sometimes make my brain explode into mush.

Anyways, don't take this too seriously. I'm just having fun. But all aboard the ship train, choo choo.

[fabbyf1]

WIP Wednesday

Happy birthday to our favorite chaos bisexual baby boi, Alex! I am almost at the finished line for this chapter. I'm determined to post today, so stay tuned, folks. Wordy little bastard Alex has a lot to say and a lot of FEELS. ENJOY!

As they exited the cemetery, Henry turned to him and asked, “Would you indulge me one more cemetery tour?” Alex nodded, something in Henry’s eyes telling him this was important. They walked down the street until they found an appropriate place to cross. Henry led them up to the open gate that read Holt Cemetery. Compared to the grandeur of the place they just left, Holt looked rundown and neglected. The gravestones were worn and crooked, some lined with PVC pipe or broken mini-picket fences, and decorated with mementos from loved ones. He took Henry’s hand and squeezed it as they walked along the gravel drive. “Somewhere in here,” Henry said softly, “may lie the remains of four men, victims of a gay bar fire in 1973 called the Upstairs Lounge.” “May?” Henry’s jaw tightened. “Many older records were destroyed after Katrina. Some say the victims, one, possibly two, who have been identified, were buried here or in the Charity Hospital Cemetery nearby. Their bodies were so damaged, they were never identified or claimed. One man’s family, Ferris LeBlanc, didn’t even know he’d died in the fire until 2015. In total, thirty-two men died that night, the deadliest attack on a queer space until Pulse in Orlando.” “Jesus fucking Christ,” Alex hissed. “Was anyone ever charged?” Henry shook his head. “There was a suspect, a man who had been ejected about twenty minutes before the fire started, but it ultimately went nowhere. It was just a bunch of queers who had it coming, right?” “How did you learn about this?” “A documentary,” Henry replied. They paused, and Henry held their joined hands against his chest. “I have a vested interest in the history of our community because the mainstream media and so-called educators still seek to bury it.” Alex swallowed thickly as he scanned the cemetery. As the son of a Mexican immigrant, he knew all too well how hard the system fought to suppress those they deemed as “other.” It occurred to him that so much of the real history of this country hadn’t been taught to him in the classroom but through books, documentaries, and people like Henry. People determined not to let their history fade into obscurity. “I don’t mean to preach-” Alex stopped him. “No, you’re not. And you’re right. These men deserve to be remembered. Thank you for sharing this with me. I’ve only been for about a year, and I’ve still got so much more I need to learn.” “That’s the first step,” Henry smiled. “The worst thing you can do as a young queer person is live in willful ignorance because the people in power are counting on it. Pride Month is about so much more than celebrating who we are. It’s about remembering those who we’ve lost, who didn’t get the chance to live openly as we do now.” Alex felt a lump growing in his throat. He wrapped his arms around Henry and squeezed tight. Henry huffed a laugh but returned his embrace, murmuring, “I’d kiss you right now, but that would be grossly inappropriate, given our current location.” “Good call.”

There are so many bonding moments between A&H in this chapter, but this is one I'm proud of. As a queer person myself, Henry was channeling me as I too think it is beyond vital that queer people learn their history, the bad and the good. Celebrate Pride but remember the people who are no longer here. CMQ brought up the story of the Upstairs Lounge in One Last Stop, so I wanted to include it here as I feel it would be something important that Henry would want to share with Alex. I promise, this chapter is almost done and you guys are NOT ready for it! All aboard the hype train, choo chooooooo! See ya soon!

Can we see some clingy Emmet daily dialogue?

Yes you can. 🫡

Going to paste some lines instead of taking screenshots since I need to reorganize what lines happen at what day/heart level later. Also because they're somewhat long (every sentence we write ends up being a paragraph... I hope that's okay.)

Including some marriage lines since he isn't super clingy with you until after 6 hearts (he doesn't really trust you...)

▷ Station Steward Thylak

▽ Emmet’s Regular Daily Dialogue▽

"You should talk to me more. I am Emmet. I like listening to you. If others think you talk too much, they are wrong. I will fight them. Huh? I don't have to do that? Fine... Well. You still shouldn't focus on others. Or what they think. I think you are the best. Perfect. That is all that matters. What you think is all that matters to me, too."

"Joltik really likes you. They're verrrry attached to you. Yup. Pokémon sometimes choose their trainers. If you were allowed to have Pokémon. I would give you this particular one. But... I am not allowed to. I would get in trouble with the Ferngill Republic. Instead, I have a picture of you that they like to look at it. I like to look at it as well... You have the best smile! It is perfect! But seeing you in person is much better. Nothing beats seeing your smile in the moment. Yup! Joltik would agree! They'd like to see you more, too!"

"I am Emmet. You know. If you ever feel down or lonely. I am always here for you. If you aren't. I will wait until then. You can trust me. I would never lie to you. I am nothing but honest. Sometimes that is seen as a problem. Oh well. Dishonest people don't deserve your time. Mine, too. I don't talk to people much. I don't trust them. I want to trust you though. I am Emmet. I like having you as a friend. Don't betray me. The truth is verrrrrry important!"

"You look like you had a bad day. I will make it better. That's what friends are for. If you have any problems. Let me know how to fix it. If you don't know how, tell me what's wrong. I will figure out what track to depart on. Don't worry about it. I need to return your gestures. I complain a lot. You listen to me. You should complain to me. I want to be the best friend you've ever had. You have to tell me."

"Right on schedule! My favorite person. My favorite part of my routine. I was waiting for you. I haven't seen you for a verrry long time. I missed you verrrry much. You should stay with me forever. I'm happier being a two-car train with you. Oh… I understand if you need to depart. I have work, too. I should attend to my station. I will see you tomorrow."

▽ Emmet’s Marriage Daily Dialogue▽

"I am Emmet. I am needy. And clingy. I know. But tell me if you don't want to conduct physical contact, okay? I will understand. I have those days, too. It is important to check safety. I never want you to hide the truth. Don't keep it from me. I don't want to make you feel sick. You are my exception. I don't want to lose you. But if you are all clear for affection. I expect hugs and kisses. Lots and lots. You should expect them, too. Follow the rules! Everyone smile! All aboard! Our destination is set for smooching station. Choo choo! "

"Let's make an early departure to sleepytime junction today. It is hard for me to sleep without you. Even before we lived together, I would need to think about you to convince myself to go to bed. I didn't want to listen to Dr. Harvey, but you would have wanted me to sleep. So I had to sleep. We don't have to sleep, though. We can have fun instead. I just want to spend time with you. I need you by my side. Make sure you return to our station soon, okay?"

"There's that smile! My favorite part of my routine. I really like seeing your smile every day. It's the best. Perfect. I'm jealous. I have to make mine as good as yours! Only you can make me have certain smiles. None of them are better than your own. It's too good. Yup, verrry impressive! I want your smile. It should be mine. Hm… Do you show that smile to anyone else? If you don't. Technically it is. My smile is yours! I hope yours is mine."

"Do you still love me? Mm. Just checking. You never know when something might change. It is always important to conduct your safety checks. I am Emmet. I still love you. How about now? Do you hate me? Don't look at me like that. Every second is verrrry important. If you misread one thing, the rest will be totally different. I know. I know... I think too much about splitting tracks. Conducting safety checks make me feel better. That. And I want to hear you say you love me again. I'll repeat it back for you, too. It's only fair. I love you!"

"I am Emmet. And I am in love. My darling loves me back. Oh! Sorry. I was talking to myself again. I still have a hard time convincing myself that you like me back. You didn't do anything wrong. I am Emmet. I just need affirmations. For everything. Because I am Emmet."

Seven Sentence Sunday

Alright, it's eight sentences, but hey. Here's the promised snippet from chapter 12 of Deep Blue 💙🌊, coming on Wednesday.

Henry feels like a bottomless pit of need, constantly longing for Alex, thinking over their time together, hoping for his next visit, daydreaming possible futures. He can’t seem to stop the fluttery feeling in his chest, the fantasies about spending more time together, about being something real to each other. About someone as bright and brilliant and beautiful as Alex actually loving him. And he doesn’t want that. He doesn’t want to need so much from someone who’s not willing to give it back. To feel like so much of his wellbeing is resting on a bed of uncertainties. So he sets his mind to it, making his brain put in the effort because he knows his heart is hopeless. Tentatively, Henry tries to pull away. 

All aboard the angst train. Choo-choo, mfrs. 😬

[faceless-es]

I really hope Mikoto is forgiven, he deserves it. I just feel it deep within me. Plus, it wasn't the Mikoto who's imprisoned who did it. And, as it's been implied, Bokukoto was just trying to protect him.

All aboard the Mikoto forgiven train~ *choo choo*

[roamwithahungryheart]

All aboard the speculation train! Choo choo!

Since all we have to go off (so far) for the upcoming episode is the promo pic on Apple TV+, here are my immediate thoughts:

Rebecca is wearing the Shaun Leane Rose Thorn hoop earrings that she previously wore in 3x01, 3x03, 3x06 & 3x07, all of which are episodes tied to her personal journey - healing, growth, fighting back and facing the unknown.

Lest we forget 3x03 was the start of Rebecca's obsession with Tish's predictions after the green matchbook appeared. We've yet to see thunder & lightning - could this be the episode?

She's also wearing a biscuit box pink blouse which looks like the pink version of the Jaeger knotted neck blouse from 3x07. She's wearing a lot of pink this season. In this week's episode, she had soft pink nails. Knowing that Rebecca's outfits are all chosen with intention, I'd love to know the reason behind all this biscuit box pink! There's something they're not telling us...yet.

3x10 is written by Jane Becker, who also wrote 2x10 "No Weddings and a Funeral". This was an important episode for Ted & Rebecca & their now breakdown-inducing parallels. This was the episode that spun the string that binds them.

We also had Sassy destroying Rupert, which was incredibly satisfying! Holding out hope for a First Wives Club/9 to 5 moment of revenge in this episode!

The team came together for Rebecca in 2x10. In 3x10, the team have split up. We're potentially getting more time with the staff, which means more time with Ted & Rebecca. Edwin Akufo is back, and the last time he was around (in 2x11), we had the second truth bomb. Are we getting the third in the next episode?

Then there's Roy & Keeley's photo shoot and the aftermath of Jamie confessing his feelings for Keeley at the funeral. Now that Roy has had that wake-up call from Rebecca, are Roy & Keeley going to finally have a breakthrough?

💔 for 12!Splinter if that’s okay, we’re not done with this angst train yet

*Puts on my little conductor hat* ALL ABOARD THE ANGST TRAIN CHOO CHOO BITCHES-

💔angst headcanon:

12 Splinter's greatest fear is leaving his boys alone in this world. Splinter knows better than anyone just how cruel and unjust the world can be. Knows how devastating it can get especially when you're alone to face it all. After having lost Tang Shen and Miwa to his once brother now turned enemy, Splinter has experienced first hand the cruelties that life can give. So once he'd been given his sons Splinter's main goal in his life was to be there for his beloved sons and to protect them from the harsh realities that make up our world. The last thing Splinter wants is for his precious sons to face the world and its challenges alone, lost and vulnerable. It's his greatest fear, a nightmare that he'll do whatever it takes to keep from coming true. Teaching his sons everything they needed to know and standing firm behind them no matter the outcome.

It was one of his greatest fears. A fear that eventually came true despite his best efforts. As he clings to the Super Shredder's arms, gasping and wheezing and choking on his own blood he hears Raphael's scream along with April's. He hears the screams of Leonardo, Donatello and Michelangelo from below them. He feels the sharp blades piercing his gut, feels the blood and the numbing burning pain as he realizes that he's going to die. As he's flung over the side of the building catching a glimpse of Raphael's horrified expression, and then catching the glimpses of Leonardo's terrified expression, Donatello's disbelieving horrified gaze and Michelangelo's tear soaked terrified face on the descent down as he dies he can only think of one thing.

That he'd failed.

Across the Galaxy of Dreams

Milky Way Cookie: Yawn… Welcome aboard the Intergalactic Dream Express…! Stardust Cookie: Thank you, conductor. One-way trip to the Whipped Cream Galaxy for me, please. Milky Way Cookie: Sure, sure…! But I gotta warn you: this is the Express train. It’s fast, there’s a lot to see and all, but the trip can be a bit… rough! Milky Way Cookie: Who knows… We might wander into a dreaming space pirate territory or crash-... err, bump into space junk? He he… Milky Way Cookie: So! Before we pass the point of no return… Why don’t you look into… slower, peaceful local trains? Or the famous Solar HyperExpress, perhaps? Stardust Cookie: I do not require silence or peace. Nor am I in a hurry… Stardust Cookie: I look forward to seeing the many wonders of the universe. Therefore, I will stay on this train. Milky Way Cookie: An excellent choice indeed! It’s just like that alien said; The direct route may be the fastest, but is rarely the most fun! Stardust Cookie: Alien? Milky Way Cookie: Eh, you know, passengers from places so remote you’ve never heard about them! I’m sure you’ll meet them on your trip! Milky Way Cookie: Alrighty, it’s time for me to head to the driver’s cabin! Make sure you’re in your seat for ticket inspection!

Stardust Cookie: …When I stepped on the cold stones of the City of Wizards, I could not imagine leaving it… with such peace in my heart. Stardust Cookie: To have the leisure of choosing which route to take… is a pleasant surprise. Stardust Cookie: Yes… a new journey awaits me. A journey to find my place in this vast universe. Stardust Cookie: My seat is in the Waning Moon Car, number 41. Right… there. Stardust Cookie: Hmm? There is another passenger in my seat. Stardust Cookie: I beg your pardon, but I do believe you are in my seat.

Space Doughnut: Kyu? Stardust Cookie: …Kyu?

A while later…

Milky Way Cookie: Ahem… Choo choo! Dear passengers! Brace yourself for… TICKET INSPECTIONS! Please have your tickets at the rea… Huh? Stardust Cookie: …Are you asking me to shake your hand…? Space Doughnut: Kyu kyu. Dou… NUT! Stardust Cookie: …They are persistent. Very well… Yes, yes, I’m pleased to meet you too. Milky Way Cookie: Ahem? If I may? What is all this commotion? Stardust Cookie: Conductor, this passenger is in my seat. I asked to see their ticket, yet we can’t seem to understand each other… Space Doughnut: Kyu kyu. Kyuiu! Milky Way Cookie: A misunderstanding, huh? I thought you went ahead and got yourself an alien friend right away! Milky Way Cookie: Let’s see what we can do here… Um, hello? Do you have a ticket that looks… like this?! Space Doughnut: Kyu kyu? Milky Way Cookie: Ooo, wonderful! Yes, yes! And your seat is… right next to you! Stardust Cookie: good. Should they move to their original seat? Milky Way Cookie: Care to explain that to our dear friend here? Stardust Cookie: …… Milky Way Cookie: Oh, no worries! It’s your lucky day! The generous conductor shall pardon you this one time. Just take their seat instead! He he… Stardust Cookie: …*sigh* Thank you. Space Doughnut: Kyu kyu, kyu kyu… ♬ Stardust Cookie: …I beg your pardon, but you are squishing me.

Space Doughnut: Poo boo poo! Boo! Stardust Cookie: I… Never mind. *sigh* This was supposed to be a pleasant trip… Space Doughnut: Dong? Doooooong? Stardust Cookie: this trip is turning out to be quite different from what I had in mind. …How interesting… I didn’t realize… Stardust Cookie: …I do not know what it’s like to have a pleasant trip. Space Doughnut: Kyu?

Food Cart Vendor: Snacks! SNAAAAAHCS! Getcha tasty, healthy snacks! SNACKS FOR A RELAXING SPACE TRIP! Food Cart Vendor: Star Jellies prepared with solar power! Just one bite, and ya’ll feel the power of the sun within you! Food Cart Vendor: Next up, Starflour Crisps, our specialty! They will make your dough strong like the stars! Food Cart Vendor: And last but not least, SomniSoda! A bottle will keep you awake no matter what! …It may cause slight drowsiness though. Pointy Hat Passenger: May I have three packs of crisps and three bottles of soda, please? Stardust Cookie: …Starflour Crisps? May I have a pack as well? Food Cart Vendor: Sure thing! Here you go! Space Doughnut: Yum! Munch much…! Stardust Cookie: (Is that how you consume this?) Stardust Cookie: Nom… Once-Excited Passenger: Uh, I don’t mean to be rude, but you’re eating it the wrong way! You have to take off the wrapping! Stardust Cookie: Ecckk! …Thank you. “Take off the wrapping…” Stardust Cookie: …You are eating it the wrong way too. Space Doughnut: Uuuu? Stardust Cookie: Hmm. You can taste the star particles. Crunchy. I quite like it. Round Hat Passenger: First time trying the Starflour Crisps? Haven’t traveled much, huh? Brave of you to take the express train! It can get pretty rowdy, you know! Wide Hat Passenger: That’s right! I heard those space pirates are causing quite the ruckus! Milky Way Cookie: Choo choo! The next stop is Beacon Star Station! I repeat, Beacon Star Station! Famous for its bright, luminous star! Milky Way Cookie: The doors are on your right! Make sure you take your belongings with ya!

Wide Hat Passenger: This is where I get off, lad! Oh dread, I have a bottle of soda left. Err… Here. Try this! Stardust Cookie: …Is this for me? Round Hat Passenger: Yes, yes! Share it with the Space Doughnut! It’s important to stay hydrated on your journey. Take it! Round Hat Passenger: Have you heard? The next sector is occupied by space pirates! The space turf war between the Milk ‘Staches and the Captain Blackbread’s has been going on forever! And they’re not the only gangs! Stardust Cookie: I… see. Pointy Hat Passenger: But a capable lad like you will manage! You even met a travel buddy! You know the saying: “good company makes a better journey!” Wide Hat Passenger: Even if you can’t communicate! Ha ha! Safe travels! Stardust Cookie: Good company makes a better journey… Stardust Cookie: …Doughnut, would you like me to open the pack for you? Space Doughnut: Kwa. *BURP* Stardust Cookie: You are already done…

*swish*

Stardust Cookie: You dropped your ticket. …Oh? Stardust Cookie: You are heading to… “Any place where you can hide from the flow of time and crushing gravity?” Stardust Cookie: …Is that an actual station? Space Doughnut: Kyu? Stardust Cookie: Your ticket, it’s… odd. …It’s not… “kwa.” It’s “doo.” Does that make sense? Space Doughnut: …………Doo? Stardust Cookie: …Take your ticket to the train conductor. The Cookie over there going “choo choo!” from time to time. Milky Way Cookie: The doors are closing. The doors are now clo… Milky Way Cookie: Huh? What’s that? Stardust Cookie: Hmm?

Wide Hat Passenger: Waaah… Hurry up and close those doors! A bunch of weirdos are closing your way! Brainglazed Fluffy Passenger: …NUTDO… NUT-DONUT-DONUT-DONUT-DO… Brainglazed Passengers: NUT-DONUT-DONUT-DONUT-DO!

Food Cart Vendor: EEEEK! What in the universe is going on? Round Hat Passenger: *Gasp* They’re climbing up the windows! Brainglazed Fluffy Passenger: NUT-DONUT-DONUT-DONUT-DO…! QUACK! Stardust Cookie: That was close. Are you alright? Round Hat Passenger: I-I’m okay… Space Doughnut: Kyu kyukyukyu! Tururu… Stardust Cookie: Who are they all? Why are they storming the train? Milky Way Cookie: Choo choo! These oddballs were only attacking this car! I saw it on my way from the driver’s cabin! Milky Way Cookie: They kept yelling “NUT-DONUT-DO!” Utter CHAOS! Gah! Milky Way Cookie: …Huh, of course! You there! Doughnut! They’re after you, aren’t they?! Milky Way Cookie: Who are they and what do they want?! Space Doughnut: Kwa? Stardust Cookie: NUT-DONUT-DO… Donut… Doughnut. Right. An acute observation, conductor. Milky Way Cookie: I mean… it’s pretty obvious… Milky Way Cookie: Anyways! Emergency situation at the station! Escaping… I mean, DEPARTING right away! Milky Way Cookie: Fasten your seatbelts because this is where the ride gets REAL bumpy! Maybe try holding onto something as well! Passengers: WAAAAAAAH!

Stardust Cookie: Watch out! Some of them have made it inside! Brainglazed Passengers: NUT… DOOOOO…! Space Doughnut: Poo… Puboo… Doo… Pointy Hat Passenger: Space Doughnut! Roll out of here and quick! Hide! Take cover! It’s not safe there! Space Doughnut: Doooooo…! Pointy Hat Passenger: Huh? What did you say? Space Doughnut: DOO… DA!

Donut Passengers: Donut! Pointy Hat Passenger: *gasp* Food Cart Vendor: Huh? Once-Excited Passenger: Wow! Space Doughnut, sir, that was amazing! Can you transform the rest of those weird strangers? Brainglazed Passengers: Poof! Brainglazed Passengers: Nut… DO! Round Hat Passenger: Oh no! They’ve returned to their real selves! Food Cart Vendor: WE’RE DOOOOOMED! Stardust Cookie: No… I have an idea! Stardust Cookie: Milky Way Cookie! Open the doors! I have a plan! Milky Way Cookie: Roger that! Doors opening! Everyone hold onto something!

Whoooooosh!

Stardust Cookie: Doughnut! It’s DOO-DA time! Do you understand me? DOO DA! Space Doughnut: Pu…? Stardust Cookie: DOO! DA! Space Doughnut: …Doo…! Space Doughnut: Dooooo! Daaaaa!

Donut Passengers: Poof! Stardust Cookie: And… now! Toss them outside! Once-Excited Passenger: Oh… I get it! We can kick them out of the car before they return to their original form! Food Cart Vendor: Aaaaah! Toss them away! HURRRRYYYY!

*CRASH* *BANG* *BOOM*

Stardust Cookie: …We did it… Milky Way Cookie: What just happened? Did I just see a bunch of… donuts roll out…? Stardust Cookie: Space Doughnut! Stardust Cookie: You were amazing! Space Doughnut: Kyu! Kwouuuu! Milky Way Cookie: So… can I close the doors now?

???: …Ah, there you are. ???: Finally, I have you within my grasp!

A while later…

Milky Way Cookie: Dear passengers! We have arrived at the Intergalactic Rest Stop. We will resume with our journey once we finish repairing the train! Round Hat Passenger: Oh dear. Was the train damaged a lot? Pointy Hat Passenger: We might have to get off here and hitchhike… Brainglazed Space Traveler: NUTDO… NUT-DONUT-DO…! Milky Way Cookie: Aah! Choo! CHOO! Emergency! Emergency! A group of NUTDO travelers approaching! Wide Hat Passenger: WHAT?! Oh, dread! I thought we’ve lost them! Stardust Cookie: They grew in numbers. Everyone, brace yourselves! Passengers: GAAAAAH!

Wide Hat Passenger: Is it… over? Is everyone alright?! Milky Way Cookie: My train…! My shiny new train…! Stardust Cookie: Calm down. The train can be fixed. Milky Way Cookie: But… but! If they keep doing that, there will be no train left to reach our destination!!! Milky Way Cookie: We will have to make a detour all the way back to the Dream Train Depot. And then we begin the run ALL! OVER! AGAIN! Milky Way Cookie: Space Doughnut! Perhaps, don’t you have anything to say?! Space Doughnut: Kyou? Milky Way Cookie: You see, my precious train is about to get smashed into crumbs because of those weird thugs! Space Doughnut: Pupupupu! Milky Way Cookie: It’s the conductor’s duty to make sure the train isn’t harmed! Milky Way Cookie: It pains me deeply to say this but… Dear Space Doughnut… Please pack up your belongings and… ???: … Milky Way Cookie: …Make sure you stay here safe and sound! GOTCHA? Unknown vessel detected outside at 11 o’clock! Milky Way Cookie: Do you know how many space pirates I take care of on a WEEKLY basis? Stardust Cookie! Right flank, by the green star! ATTACK! Stardust Cookie: …Prepare to witness the wrath of the stars!

*crash*

???: A capable conductor, I see. The meteors aren’t too shabby either. Milky Way Cookie: Wait, that shadow…! Stardust Cookie: Do you recognize them? Once-Excited Passenger: I… I think I know who that is! A space criminal genius notorious for brainwashing his victims, and disposing of them once they’ve done his bidding. Passengers: *GASP* Milky Way Cookie: Oh yeah, I know him! Upon encounter, you’ll lose consciousness, and then wake up in the middle of nowhere! Or so they say…! Milky Way Cookie: You’re looking at him right now… The mastermind behind those weird attacks is no other than… Dr. Evilglaze!

Dr. Evilglaze: I’m flattered! I presume there is no need to introduce myself. Dr. Evilglaze: Now tell me, where is Doughnut No. 325? Stardust Cookie: …Is he talking about you, Doughnut? I must admit, even your name is peculiar. Space Doughnut: Ppu! Puuuuu… Dr. Evilglaze: I applaud! You’ve come quite far… for a doughnut. Missed me, No. 325? Space Doughnut: …Ddoop. Dr. Evilglaze: How unfortunate. You almost managed to slip away. Just think of it: a bit farther, and I would’ve… Dr. Evilglaze: I would’ve had to ravage this entire universe! Space Doughnut: Pu. Boooo… Tu… Stardust Cookie: I understand, you were upset because the Doughnut here went missing, but surely you realize that you are overreacting? Food Cart Vendor: Stardust Cookie, psssst! Stop… talking…!

Dr. Evilglaze: No. 325, did you know that your test results came back on the very day you ran away? Dr. Evilglaze: Did you know how infuriating it was to realize that the fool that got away was the other half that would make me complete…! Space Doughnut: …! Pi-ri-bi-ri-bi-ri-bi-ri-bip?! Dr. Evilglaze: Surprised? So was I. Dr. Evilglaze: All these years… Al this time and effort it took to abduct over 300 doughnuts, experiment on them, run tests… All that to find “the right one.” Dr. Evilglaze: And when at long last I found the doughnut that would complete me and help me become the almighty Cosmic Doughnut…! It ran away! Dr. Evilglaze: Can you imagine how I felt…? Space Doughnut: Ppu! Pu, puu… Kwa…! Stardust Cookie: Doughnut? Why are you trembling? Dr. Evilglaze: Step aside, flatster. Dr. Evilglaze: Tsk. Just look at how you’ve spoiled this doughnut! How dare it hide from me… Dr. Evilglaze: A doughnut’s highest honor is to become one with a donut ball, transforming into the Cosmic Doughnut. You dare stand in the way of this?! Dr. Evilglaze: No, you will not stand in the way of me taking over the universe!

Milky Way Cookie: So this Space Doughnut here must really be that important to you, huh? I mean, you’re already strong enough to destroy a galaxy or two on your own… Milky Way Cookie: Theoretically speaking, it could cause major… trouble for us if he got his hands on this Space Doughnut, right? Like… the universe exploding… Or worse, the Dream Railway System…! Stardust Cookie: Wait a moment. Space Doughnut? Space Doughnut: Kwa? Stardust Cookie: That fellow there. Is he a kyu-kyu? Or a poo-poo? Space Doughnut: …Poo poo… Stardust Cookie: You heard. The Doughnut wants nothing to do with you. I suggest you take your Cosmic Doughnut business elsewhere. Dr. Evilglaze: *sigh* How tiring to deal with such inferior brainless beings. Doughnuts, take care of them. We are returning with No. 325. Brainglazed Space Travelers: NUTDO! NUT-DONUT-DONUT-DO! Milky Way Cookie: Stardust Cookie! We can’t just let them take Space Doughnut away! Stardust Cookie: I suppose we have no other choice… We must fight. Come on!

Brainglazed Space Travelers: NUT-DONUT-DONUT-DONUT-DONUT-DONUT-DONUT-DONUT-DO! Stardust Cookie: Phew… Milky Way Cookie, are you unscathed? Milky Way Cookie: I’m fine! But we better put an end to this AND FAST! AHH! Space Doughnut: Pu-poot! Do-oooong-o nut! Stardust Cookie: Doughnut! Do not be frightened, hide behind me… Ah! Dr. Evilglaze: Perhaps you should focus on protecting yourself first. Dr. Evilglaze: You may be strong, but your powers are nothing compared to mine. Dr. Evilglaze: I could crush you right now if I wanted to. Stardust Cookie: Crush me? I might have been the one who tried to destroy a city, but you sound awfully violent! Stardust Cookie: Speaking of, perhaps you should reconsider your decision to obliterate the entire universe? Stardust Cookie: It will not make you feel better, I know from experience! Dr. Evilglaze: HA! You pathetic flatster! You think you know anything about me? The audacity!

CRASH!

Stardust Cookie: Ugh! Space Doughnut: Kyut! Dr. Evilglaze: As soon as I fuse with No. 325 and become the Cosmic Doughnut, I shall destroy your galaxy before anything else!

CRASH!

Stardust Cookie: Ugh… Space Doughnut: …Woo…! Dr. Evilglaze: And if you try to escape to a different star cluster, I will simply follow you and destroy it too.

CRASH!

Dr. Evilglaze: And should you run away to another galaxy, I’ll crush the whole thing into pieces myself! Space Doughnut: …Koo… Kooo… Kooot! Space Doughnut: Koo… KWAAACK!! Stardust Cookie: ! Doughnut? Dr. Evilglaze: You. What did you just say? Space Doughnut: Quack! Kwack! Touuuuu! Puboooo! Dr. Evilglaze: …Seems that fear has made you lose your mind? How DARE you speak that to me? Milky Way Cookie: So… is someone going to tell us what they said, or…? Space Doughnut: Doo… Doooo…! Dr. Evilglaze: You…! How dare you aim your Doughnut Beam at me…! Space Doughnut: DOOOOOO! DWA!!!

Dr. Evilglaze in Doughnut Form: Donut! Dr. Evilglaze in Doughnut Form: *roll* Pointy Hat Passenger: *hic* Food Cart Vendor: Hyee… Once-Excited Passenger: *gasp* Stardust Cookie: …Everyone, get on the train. Now! Milky Way Cookie: …Y-yeah! We need to leave before he returns to his original self! RUN! Passengers: AAAAH!

*BAM* *BOOM* *CRASH* Milky Way Cookie: All aboard! Choo choo!

Stardust Cookie: *huff huff* Space Doughnut: Huff huff… Kyuck. Stardust Cookie: …Dr. Evilglaze looked ridiculously powerful… Stardust Cookie: Yet you simply turned him into a doughnut. Stardust Cookie: ………Ha ha. Poof! Just like that! A doughnut! Once-Excited Passenger: …Heh. Pointy Hat Passenger: And the way he rolled away…! Food Cart Vendor: He he he. Space Doughnut: kwa! Poopoo! Ptooey! Rrrrroll! Stardust Cookie: Ha ha ha! That’s right! You made him roll away! Ha ha ha! Space Doughnut: …Pookyu… Space Doughnut: Pookyukyu! Kyurrrr! Stardust Cookie: Ha ha ha!

Milky Way Cookie: Dear biscuits and treats of all flavors! Thank you for traveling with us on the rather bumpy Dream Express! The next stop is the final destination of this train: the Western Sky! Milky Way Cookie: Once the train stops, make sure to leave the station as soon as possible! We lost those pesky donuts, but… they might be back! Stardust Cookie: Looks like it is time to say goodbye. Stardust Cookie: Over there, outside the window, is a faintly glowing galaxy. That is most likely the Whipped Cream Galaxy. Where our ways part. Space Doughnut: Kyu? Dough… nut? Stardust Cookie: Ha ha… My apologies. Your language is still foreign to me… Stardust Cookie: I wish you the very best, Doughnut. I would like to believe you wished me the same as well. Space Doughnut: …Kwak! Stardust Cookie: Please do not cling on to me! Danger does not pursue you anymore. Travel freely, wherever your heart wishes! Space Doughnut: Haaaaaaan! Keeeeeeeeh… Stardust Cookie: Wait, you understand me now-

SHOOOOOSH

Milky Way Cookie: What’s this creepy noise…?! Everyone, get off the train…!

*CRASH*

Dr. Evilglaze: You’re MINE! Space Doughnut: Kyupoot?! Milky Way Cookie: …Ugh. So persistent…! Let the Doughnut go already! Dr. Evilglaze: One step closer, and I will brain-glaze every passenger on this pathetic train! Brain glaze… like brainwash… but… doughnut-style…! Dr. Evilglaze: The reason why I haven’t used my NUT-DONUT-DO Beam on you, pathetic creatures, is because I didn’t want to delay the coming of the Cosmic Doughnut! Milky Way Cookie: Ugh… Dr. Evilglaze: I admit, it was reckless of me. After all, we’re talking about becoming the Supreme Overlord of the Universe here… Dr. Evilglaze: I can’t believe I actually listened to your incessant whining just to bring my victory closer! Space Doughnut: Ppoo… Pooyut… Dr. Evilglaze: It doesn’t matter anymore. No.325, I shall grant you the honor of becoming part of me! Space Doughnut: Ppu! Ppuboop! KWAK! Dr. Evilglaze: I will consume you and become the strongest being in this entire universe! Stardust Cookie: Space Doughnut! Fight back! Use your Doo-da! Space Doughnut: Do… Doo doo…! Dr. Evilglaze: Let the Doughnut and the Doughnut Ball… CONVERGE!

Stardust Cookie: What is this? It suddenly became completely dark. Dr. Evilglaze: Ah… No. No no no! This isn’t supposed to happen!

Dr. Evilglaze: Stop firing your doughnut beam, No. 325, or we will turn into a useless little donut! Stop! STOP IT RIGHT NOW! Dr. Evilglaze: NO! We’re nearing infinite zero…! I said stop! Dr. Evilglaze: Stop it! NOOOOOOO!

Space Doughnut: Woo… Pooo…! Stardust Cookie: …Space Doughnut…?

Oooooo…

Milky Way Cookie: Stardust Cookie, wake up! Stardust Cookie: Ah!

Unstable Doughnut Vortex: OoooooooooO! Milky Way Cookie: Are you alright? I gotta admit, that was quite the shockwave, but I didn’t expect you to pass out like that… Stardust Cookie: This… is a dark vortex. Stardust Cookie: …So that was not a dream. Dr. Evilglaze’s plans to become the Cosmic Doughnut failed! Milky Way Cookie: Yeah, yeah…! Can you lend me a hand here? The train is gonna get sucked in… WHOA! Stardust Cookie: Milky Way Cookie! Stardust Cookie: Everyone hold on! I will try to pull the train out of this vortex! Stardust Cookie: Ugh…! Once-Excited Passenger: You don’t have… to sacrifice yourself… to… save us… Pointy Hat Passenger: Too late… flee…! Stardust Cookie: NO! Buckle your seatbelts!

Unstable Doughnut Vortex: OooooooOOoooo…

Stardust Cookie: We are… leaving… this vortex… together! Stardust Cookie: Our destination awaits us… all of us…! Stardust Cookie: And we’re going to explore the galaxy together, sharing snacks!

Food Cart Vendor: We made it! Milky Way Cookie: But we got caught in a gravitational slingshot! We’re gonna accelerate WAY beyond the maximum allowed limits!!! Milky Way Cookie: Stardust Cookie, hold on to the train! We can use this boost and escape! Hurry! Stardust Cookie: …You go ahead. Milky Way Cookie: But what are you gonna do? Dr. Evilglaze and the Space Doughnut are probably as small as a single particle because of all that ridiculous pressure! Milky Way Cookie: Neither light nor time exists within the vortex! Not even the Slumbering Moon’s power can reach there! Stardust Cookie: I know. It is called the Horizon of Fate because no dessert has ever returned from a vortex. Stardust Cookie: But I must look beyond the horizon. Milky Way Cookie: What?! Stardust Cookie! Unstable Doughnut Vortex: Oooooooo…

Stardust Cookie: Dr. Evilglaze tried to stop the Doughnut Beam. Stardust Cookie: But having jammed the beam, he must have caused instability instead! Stardust Cookie: If only I could try and push Dr. Evilglaze away…! Unstable Doughnut Vortex: Oooo… Ooooo…

Stardust Cookie: Yes, I too, know that feeling. Stardust Cookie: Wandering across the void, without any sense of direction. Stardust Cookie: Swept away by a vortex, feeling nothing. Stardust Cookie: Moonlight Cookie. I can only wonder what you were thinking when you came to save me. Stardust Cookie: What was your reasoning? Stardust Cookie: I want to save the Space Doughnut. Stardust Cookie: The Doughnut still… Stardust Cookie: Still does not know what Starflour Crisps taste like unpacked!

Excited Passenger: Sob… He did it! Stardust Cookie really did it, conductor! Milky Way Cookie: Alrighty! It is a conductor’s duty to deliver all her passengers to their destinations! Milky Way Cookie: Now fasten your seatbelts! The train is about to reach the ultra-turbo-light speed and catch up with our passengers, Stardust Cookie and Space Doughnut! Passengers: WAAAAAAAAH!

Stardust Cookie: …Ah…

Stardust Cookie: Where am… I? Am I… on… the train? How fortunate… Looks like I managed not to crumble away… Milky Way Cookie: Oh, you’re awake! You looked like you needed some rest so we didn’t wake you up. Stardust Cookie: Milky Way Cookie… Stardust Cookie: Ah! What happened to the Space Doughnut?! Are they okay? Milky Way Cookie: The Space Doughnut? They’re right next to you, silly! Do you know how hard it was to get them off of you! Ha! Doughnut! Wake up! Stardust Cookie: Oh? Space Doughnut: …Ppo? Kooo? Stardust Cookie: Space Doughnut… You made it back. Good… Stardust Cookie: So where are we? Milky Way Cookie: Err, right, about that! So it’s a conductor’s sacred duty to deliver her passengers to their destination… I’ve already mentioned that… yeah… Milky Way Cookie: But I may have… broken the Dream Express… a little… a bit with the ultra-turbo-light-speed mode…

Milky Way Cookie: And we had to… crash-land in this… random place! Round Hat Passenger: Stardust Cookie! You’re up! Stardust Cookie: Yes. DO you know what happened to Dr. Evilglaze? Once-Excited Passenger: Dr. Evilglaze… passed out I think? So we just left him there! He he! Pointy Hat Passenger: He’s probably floating around the galaxy. Let him have a taste of his own medicine! Food Cart Vendor: Yeah! I’m sure he can hitchhike or something. Ha!

Space Doughnut: Kyut! Kyu kyu kyu koo koo! Once-Excited Passenger: You know, Stardust Cookie, I… I was so worried that I wouldn’t be able to say thank you… *sniffle* Food Cart Vendor: That’s right! Thanks so much, Stardust Cookie! You know what? From now on, you get a free lifetime supply of snacks from my cart! Wide Hat Passenger: Stardust Cookie. We are saved because of you! Wide Hat Passenger: Thank you so much for not giving up on us! Stardust Cookie: …Ha ha. Stardust Cookie: And thank you… for the soda… Stardust Cookie: I may not be where I originally intended to be… Stardust Cookie: Now was this the kind of journey I had in mind. Stardust Cookie: And I most certainly did not expect to meet such company… Stardust Cookie: But this is nice. Stardust Cookie: It was a terrific trip. Milky Way Cookie: Stardust Cookie… Space Doughnut: Kyu kyu, Kyu? Kyuukyu? Milky Way Cookie: Hmm? What are you saying, doughnut? It better be good, because we were totally having a moment. Stardust Cookie: I believe they said they want to take a dip in the ocean over there. Space Doughnut: Kyukyukyu! Pointy Hat Passenger: Oh? The Space Doughnut is running towards the sea! Food Cart Vendor: Is that really what they said? Milky Way Cookie: Oi! Answer us! Stardust Cookie: … Stardust Cookie: Ha ha! Stardust Cookie: I think I will join them! I have never seen an ocean before… Stardust Cookie: Can I take a bag of crisps? Food Cart Vendor: Of course! And have a soda if you get thirsty! Milky Way Cookie: Huuuh? What? But you’re gonna get all soggy! Round Hat Passenger: Looks like, the Space Doughnut dropped something… Should we give them a bag? Milky Way Cookie: Huh? It’s their train ticket… Waning Moon Car, Seat 42. Wide Hat Passenger: The destination is… Err, wait… I think it’s getting re-written as we speak…! Once-Excited Passenger: The new destination is… “Anywhere in the universe.” Milky Way Cookie: …Yup yup! Milky Way Cookie: Another satisfied passenger! He he! Milky Way Cookie: Hmmm… And I know just the place to recommend…!
