I feel like tumblr would eat this story up:
So I haven't owned Stardew Valley for very long. Like I bought it almost a week ago so I'm not like.... THAT experienced. But I know from what a friend told me that if you're friends with Marnie, then she'll give you feed in the mail sometimes, so I was giving her as many gifts as I could bc I was worried about not being able to BUY enough feed from her to keep my single chicken happy through the winter....
Anyways I was bringing my LAST piece of corn I had to give to her but I hadn't checked the time and it was too early so her place wouldn't be open anyways but yk... Adhd... I don't pay attention to CLOCKS. What do you take me for? Punctual?
So I clicked on her door but the exact SECOND I clicked on it, Shane walked out and I accidentally clicked on him instead. I didn't see him there bc my sprite was in the way. So all I saw was his dialog box going "This is great, thanks!" & I was like "Wha- No! That wasn't for YOU?!"
Motherfucker stole my corn. My. last. corn.
And like.... I walked after him to talk to him & give him a piece of my mind and this bitch told me to fuck off. Bro was hostile as always. Probably being territorial over the corn he stole.... so I watched him leave (this is important. I. Watched. Him. Leave.) Then I opted to at least TALK to Marnie even if I didn't have a gift for her.
So I walked in.... AND IT TRIGGERED SHANE'S HEART EVENT. DUDE.... YOU LEFT WITH MY CORN AND HAVE THE AUDACITY TO SHOW BACK UP AND PUT ME IN A CUTSCENE?
Anyways I have beef with Shane for that reason.
I planned to make a separate save file so I can romance him, but not anymore. I'm still mad about the corn.

When I was in my single-digits, one of my cousins was really into Dragon Ball. I’d go up to him and watch him play a game about a diverse cast of characters with powers I’ve never seen before. But I pushed it aside, as it didn’t look that interesting at the time.
I knew DBZ had a huge influence on the world. Most of the videos I watched at the time were 2d Sonic sprite animations with choreography and techniques were very heavily inspired by the anime (I mean, look at Nazo Unleashed for example or Super Mario Bros Z). But looking up “dragon ball fights” just to get a taste, I wasn’t nearly as interested in it as the fan-made Sonic fights.
Fast forward to about September 2023. I was 16. While watching YouTube, a short clip about a YouTuber named Lythero playing Dragon Ball FighterZ with his friends. The game looked really fun, so I watched his other videos, and with each one I slowly got more interested in getting this game, even though I barely know anyone the cast besides the one with the orange gi and the rival with the cool armor and the cool device on his ear. So I bought the game for my Switch, started playing it, and then…well…
Something just snapped…
I know through a video game is not the best way to get introduced to a franchise, but boy did this game really did it! It introduced me to so many new characters and aspects, like I didn’t know that this Goku Black and Zamasu were the same guy! AND THEY CAN FUSE?! That hairless cat can destroy worlds with just a finger?! A dude that can skip time itself?! And SO MUCH MORE! It was all mind boggling.
It even got me into actually learning the HUGE story and watching all the iconic fights. I even learned about DBZA and even despite its humorous tone, I could understand the story.
It even got me into drawing these characters and while I did struggle on them for a bit, Toriyama’s art style and how he drew these characters helped me in how to draw them.
I had a new hyperfixation. So when I heard about his death on this here site…
I didn’t know what to feel.
Actually, no. I do know. I should feel glad that I finally have been impacted by his work. I should feel glad that I now understand why is work basically impacted the world. Dragon Ball is at lessons thing that connects all of us. Case in point, I had a conversation about it with a grown man last night after he caught me playing Dragon Ball Legends. We talked about our favorite character (Vegeta), favorite sagas, best moments of the show. It’s convos like that that make it so timeless.
Tumblr media
Here is my latest sketch related to Dragon Ball. A drawing of these two Saiyan warriors who have impacted the world.
So on behalf of me and everyone else in the world,
Thank you and Rest in Peace, Akira Toriyama.
- CAZ

i closed last night for the first time and i was “robbed” by a 14 year old.
***these 3 annoying as kids around 12-14 years old come to the cafe i work at everyday after school. they usually always buy something but never have enough money to buy what they really want, so they stand at the register for 10 minutes, every single day, trying to decide what they can get. yesterday, the girl who “robbed” me bought a cake pop ($2.25, $2.42 usd with tax) but only had $2.08. my coworker was like “you know what, i’ll just give you the rest.” and handed her the cake pop. this happened while i was on the register, so i clearly remember this.
my coworker then took the register and i switched to making drinks. 10 minutes later, literally as my coworker was walking to her car, this little stingy ass bitch comes walking in and tells me my coworker didn’t give her the sprite she bought. i did see her and the boy at the register before my coworker clocked out so i didn’t really think anything of it,
until i saw her laughing and pointing at the soda as she was walking out.
i immediately checked the transactions screen and literally did not see the soda at all. i called my coworker freaking tf out and when i told her she just started laughing. she said how childish that was but not to worry about it because it’s just a can of soda and we have more in the back. she also told me i wouldn’t get in trouble.
but man i’m still kinda shook. the owner’s mom takes care of the cafe since he lives out of town and SHE WATCHES THE CAMERAS ALL DAY LONG. i’m waiting for my manager or the owner’s mom to confront me about it so i can apologize.
i literally felt so dumbfounded afterwards, i literally believed that girl AND SHE STOLE A FUCKING SODA. i’m not mad about the soda, i’m just mad bc on MY FIRST NIGHT CLOSING ALONE a 14 year old convinced me she already paid for the drink and without checking the transactions first, i just handed it to her like a dumbass.
this is another reason why i can’t stand teenagers bro. not saying all 14 year olds are thieves and petty, but every young teenager i’ve encountered in this small ass town behaves the exact same and it’s AGGRAVATING

SCP Scenarios: SCP x Reader - McDonald's Sprite (REQUESTED)
Main Masterlist | SCP Scenarios Masterlist | My Works Masterlist | Rules | Request | Socials | My Original Post
Requested by: @katnotmore123
Bro y'all be simping for Sprite and I'm here simping for 7Up...
I mean I like them both but I just prefer 7up over Sprite... It's like comparing Pepsi and Coke ngl but with a more subtle difference
SCP 073 (Cain)
You came back to the foundation one day with a cup of iced drink and Cain had asked what you were drinking and you showed him
He was mildly confused but soon understood the beverage since he had seen them somewhere on the web (no, not the hub, an advert from McDonald's)
You asked if he wanted to try some and he did, so you gave him a sip
You were slightly annoyed and surprised since you drove over an hour and hadn't had anything to drink and the last thing you wanted was someone taking your drink
But since it was 073, you made it an exception since you hadn't expected him to have any food or beverages outside of site 17
You figured that he had enjoyed it as he reminisced his past about being able to eat plant-based food but no longer could
You felt bad and agreed to get more when you next go back
The researchers had wondered if the drink had ever rotted in his mouth but realise moments later that it's mainly made out of artificial ingredients aside from the natural flavourings
SCP 076-2 (Abel)
I have high doubts that you would be able to persuade Abel to drink such a plain beverage, so you had devised a plan to get him to try
You made a bet with Abel in which the loser has to finish off the drink, not that you'd complain (you unhealthy mf), but you really wanted him to give it a try
Abel accepted and had very much lost the bet
He had taken a sip and you noticed that he's enjoying the drink and teased him
He spat it out and flat out denied it (like the tsundere he is) but continued drinking it anyways
Some of the researchers monitoring Abel's cell found it rather amusing that he enjoyed such a "plain beverage" and did try to tease him about it
Let's just say it didn't end very well as it resulted in somebody's head being chopped off
You both had agreed that if Abel stops trying to breach his containment and be more cooperative, you or somebody else in your team would buy him more Sprite from McDonald's (and by 'buy', I mean kidnapping the whole chain's Sprite dispenser)
SCP 999 (Tickle Monster)
999 would most definitely take the drink out of your hand since his little tingles tell him that whatever you were drinking was sweet
And he was very much right
You were slightly shocked but wasn't surprised since he does have quite a sweet tooth
Every now and again, SCP 999 would ask if you had any more of those drinks and would even ask what they were
You had explained to him that it's a lemon and line flavoured soft drink created by the Coca-Cola company (the more you know right?)
He was intrigued and sweetly requested if you could buy him more and you obliged
You would use your time off to buy a dozen of Sprites from McDonald's and would sometimes buy other soft drinks like Coke and Fanta for 999
Needless to say, you had an orange blob as your personal pet who would give you unlimited hugs since you spoiled him with so many drinks
SCP 682 (Hard to Destroy Reptile)
This mf of a lizard right here is just as stubborn, if not even more than Abel, and would reject trying that beverage at all for the whole entire week
You had to bribe him and the researchers were laughing their socks off from this interaction you both got going
He did give in but was rather hesitant at first
Once you poured some into his mouth, he seemed slightly disgusted from the taste
He would just sit still for a moment as to contemplate then stuck his tongue out as a sign of disgust
But bring the cheeky person you were, you spilt more into his mouth which led to him farting for the next few hours to which everyone laughed
Dr Bright heard the commotion and came to see what was happening
Let's just say he encouraged you to carry on if you want your head cut off but found it amusing regardless
In short, don't ever give him Sprite unless you want to torture him
SCP 049 (Plague Doctor)
Does this bird doctor even drink?!
You mention multiple times about human food and how delicious they are
Mainly McDonald's Sprite and their food since its rather popular
ESPECIALLY THEIR CHEESE BITES/STICKS!!! HAVE YALL EVEN TRIED THEM!? THEY'RE DELICIOUS AF!!!
OMG they've released the garlic ones but I preferred the normal Mozzarella sticks and cheesy bites though
Anyways, back to Sprite, our side chick
049 would be intrigued about this 'Sprite' since you spoke so passionately about it like your life depended on it and requested you to get him one for a try and so you did
When he drank it he was surprised at the foreign taste
He asked if there were more beverages like it and you answered honestly, carrying on with your love for McDonald's and offered to buy him some for a try
Basically, 049 would give it a try since you spoke so passionately for them
He wouldn't necessarily hate it, but he wouldn't love the drink as much
I'd say he would be intrigued to try something new outside of his role in curing the pestilence
SCP 035 (Possessive Mask)
I am so sorry guys, I'll have to make 035 hella short since I can't think of anything interesting for him
DO YALL THINK THIS BOI CAN EVEN TRY?! JUST LOOK AT HIM!!! HE'S A BLOODY MASK!!!
The closest thing for him to try the drink is if you gave his now possessed body some beforehand so 035 could telepathically understand the taste
Like if you just straight up gave him the drink I don't think he would be able to drink it even if he wanted to
If the now dead body never had Sprite, then you ould just describe the tase to him in form of arts (I like to imagine 035 would be into arts, especially performing arts since he's basically a theatre mask)
SCP 105 (Iris)
Our girl here has a high chance that she might have tried McDonald's Sprite
But she just prefers healthier foods (this healthy mf knows that y'all can't keep healthy, that's why she's here to start your New Year's Resolution which is to stay healthy)
You both would recommend food which is healthy or unhealthy and would try them
Iris is more than capable of controlling her diet, but you, on the other hand, have a hard time doing so (don't lie, we all know y'all like junk food)
So, you both compromised in which you can have junk food as a reward, namely your favourite beverage, Sprite
You just love the citrus flavoured, colourless beverage so much that Iris would have to hide the drink from you (ah yes great promotion from me XD)
What would you do without our girl, Iris, eh? (Die from overeating unhealthy food which causes heart attacks and strokes, of course, fun!)
Anyways, sometimes when you're the one going out, you would be the one to buy a few dozen bottles of Sprite from McDonald's (bro do they even sell bottled drinks? Ik they do in KFC from where I live OwO)
Iris would drop dead from the sight of you bringing in so many Sprites into the foundation
She would most likely drink some with you, not because she likes them, god no
It's because there's no more room to store them and she's just a little bit thirsty
SCP 106 (Old Man)
This old man would be so confused by all this food and drinks from the outside world
His first impression of McDonald's was that of a circus since you've shown him the older advertisement for McDonald's since it fits his age (love you 106!!! Not)
And then you gave him a menu, and god did he not have any glasses (boi he do be needing to go to Specsavers fr)
He read Mozzarella Sticks as mosasaurs pricks, the Spicy Veggie One as spicy vag- and what's worse is that he read Double Quater Pounder as double quantum pounding (he even read Coke wrong!)
You and the foundation staff burst out of laughter at his 20/20 eyesight
So one day, you returned to the foundation with some Sprite in your hands in hopes that 106 would give it a go and so he did
He found the flavour somewhat new and strange but still enjoyed it nevertheless (this boi here do be a man of culture, am I right?)
Anyways, 106 loved it so much to the point that during one of the breaches, he disappeared from the foundation and reappeared with 10 boxes of Sprite
The researchers then realised afterwards that 106 had used his pocket dimension to teleport to the nearest McDonald's and stole the boxes of Sprite without even paying
They were even more surprised to find that the workers there were ordinary humans and weren't even fazed about 106 teleporting to their business (Sames here bro! If anyone stole my food/drinks I'd be pissed too regardless of who it is!!! Food is food!!!)
You basically made him addicted to Sprite
SCP 096 (Shy Guy)
(Imma be honest here, idk if this guy eats since he's facing the wall and covering his face like 99% of the time unless some guy saw his face)
You were sat in 096's cell and was debating on what food to get from McDonald's
096 was curious about what you're talking about since he heard you mumbling bout food from this so-called "McDonald's"
So you explained to him the concept of food and that generally speaking, unhealthy foods are tastier and typically served quicker in at places like McDonald's
Imma be real here, I like Burger King's chilli cheese bites a tiny bit more since the McDonald's at my place is stuck with garlic cheese bites atm
It's not like I hate them, but I just prefer the old ones, but it's nice that McDonald's changes up their food every now and then
Anyways, back onto our side chick
You bought your favourite Sprite along with the double quantum pou- quarter pounder
096 was upon curious and so you let him have a bite of your quarter pounder and your Sprite
Let's just say that 096 found it weird and didn't ask about human food again
Dr Jack bright
Jack Bright is very much aware of McDonald's and other fast-food chains since he does have a fair share of memories of eating them with his family and because the bodies he possesses do be unhealthy af (just like you)
You were talking about food with one of your co-workers and Bright just so happened to be nearby and butted his head into the conversation
Your co-worker also just happened to leave for a meeting so you're both stuck together talking about McDonald's
Sometime later, you bought to the foundation some food, including Jack's favourites as he had mentioned not long ago
You both tried each other's food and he was mesmerised by the Sprite since it's been a while since he had it
So whenever you went back, you would buy a larger bottle of Sprite for Jack since he wouldn't have much free time and needed to drink more anyways
Sometimes, when you're both talking about food, you'd make up puns for them or just laugh at your misinterpretations since you're just as blind as a bat (btw I've read somewhere that bats have good vision, they just use echolocation a lot)
Some of the things you both would say would be "Did you hear that McDonald's gave all their employees large laptops for Christmas? They were Big Macs" and "Hey, Ronald McDonald - been watching any good clown movies? Ronald: I'm loving it"
One time, he smacked your bum and casually said to you "Girl, this quarter-pounder will take you to a whole different level of experience" and then left
Dr Simon Glass
Another doctor who has knowledge of fast foods
He's similar to Bright in a way as he doesn't leave the facility as often as he likes since he's constantly busy
Also, he would make terrible jokes and puns using wordplay
When you told him about your favourite drink, Sprite, Glass immediately said "I went to the store to get eight cans of Sprite. When I got home, I realized I’d only picked seven up"
You just looked dumbfounded at his puns and laughed as he continued
He did manage to take a sip and drank the whole can of Sprite instead
You even bought some wrap with extra mayo and told Simon about your friendly chat with the waitress/cashier and mentioned her former co-workers
And you died on the inside because his only reply was "She should go back sometime to ketchup with her old co-workers or she mayo not want to"
To shut him up, you have decided that buying him Sprite would work and it kinda did
Only for a short while though
Dr Alto Clef
Clef is well aware of the fast-food chain called McDonald's
It was hard to ignore it as a lot of people younger than him had kept talking about it, even you
Even worse if it was you talking about McDonald's since you have an obsession with their Sprite
Poor Clef was confused as he assumed that all lemon/lime flavoured drinks were the same
Oh boy was he wrong
You came back with your lunch from you know where and 2 bottles of Sprite
One was from McDonald's and the other from Lidl along with some of your favourite pastries, like croissants and toffee yum yums
You had him try all the foods and both Sprites and he finally gave in to the fact that McDonald's Sprite tastes more superior than the other
Not only that, he made dirty jokes and puns about the food in McDonald's
Like "Baby, you got more legs than a bucket of McDonald's", "Come over to my house and I’ll give ya a happy meal", "Do you work here? Because I’d like to order some fries with that shake" and "Girl when I am done with you, you won't be looking for no toys in this happy meal"
Dr Benjamin Kondraki
Benjamin Kondraki would be the type of person who would be reluctant to try but would anyways since you asked so kindly and gave them those eyes
And by that, I mean a death glare
NGL he doesn't seem like the type of fella to be eating a ton of unhealthy food
I mean he doesn't necessarily eat salad or anything overly healthy, but he does have a balanced diet for the most part and does treat himself sometimes, but not too often
You magically crept up behind Kondraki and scared him unintentionally but you still laughed anyway because you're evil
He looked down and realised that the packaging was from McDonald's and you were holding a familiar clear bottle in your other hand
You were kind enough to share your food with him and he thoroughly enjoyed it
Then after that, you forced him to drink some Sprite since he has PTSD from your unhealthy obsession with it
And yes, he did end up drinking it
And no, he didn't like it nor did he hate it
You were upset that you thought he shot you down about Sprite but quickly regained your happiness since he did tell you about the drink being just above average

Persona 5 Royal Playthrough pt3
I ended up going through two Palaces before I could update y’all. Oh well.
...Yeah, no, quit calling me Miss Special Snowflake's boyfriend. It's not happening.
Ryuji, Morgana, and Yusuke having a conversation in the laundromat: "It's like he's our mom," says Ryuji... the mom friend.
Every time Morgana is like "I have to turn into a human so no one else can have Lady Ann!" then expects no one else to hear him makes me laugh. Like, bitch, no.
I have the restaurant in my Thieves Den 'cause I like it. Yusuke, Ryuji, and Morgana are there. They're so precious.
I got a three in a row Tycoon on cutthroat!!!
Ryuji and Ann just keep going "Shoulda figured" and other versions of the statement every time I win.
Ann just rejected Morgana's feelings HARD. I am happy.
Ryuji is too good, honestly. Why would anyone not like him? He's... He's always trying to build the team up, make them proud of themselves and what they've done. I will admit that he has his moments of being not a great human, but they're teenagers who were given absurd powers, so honestly, can you blame them?
I didn't know darts was an actual minigame! There's so many minigames. I'm so happy.
I don't like Akechi. I don't know why some people do. Like, his death scene was a bit... too late for a redemption for me, right after he tried to kill Joker, several times. His pain is understandable, but still... I can't.
Their "two sides of the same coin" also doesn't seem particularly fair. It's totally uneven in everything but color schemes.
Guys, GUYS, please, PLEASE decide whether you're going to react to my teasing or not.
"We don't have to deal with them directly," Ryuji says joyfully about the mafia. Oh you sweet, sweet, innocent child, if only you knew what I do.
I literally can't play this game around anyone else because I tend to yell "BABY!" to Ryuji, Ann, and Yusuke and "BITCH" or "FUCKER" to... a rather long list of villains in this game... and Makoto.
I can literally feel Yusuke's anxiety about his painting when you take him to Leblanc to see Sayuri.
How can you say Yusuke isn't gay when he says everything I do is beautiful?
I love Ryuji's 9th social link. It's LITERALLY written like a confession scene. This also means I kinda hate it because... I can't date him.
Also... PRETTY BOY RYUJI PRETTY BOY RYUJI PRETTY BOY RYUJI
I actually kinda thought that the new scene for Ryuji being a crossdresser is kinda funny??? Is this bad??? I wanna see him in a dress, tho. I gotta agree, he'd be a natural. Not the like, painfully obviously not taking it seriously from the dancing game, though.
Though I do think it's valid that he freaks out when two strange adults come up to him and try to take him somewhere, especially in a place known for being shady, and at night.
...When Ryuji complains about it, I do feel bad about ditching him. Then again, I blame the cat.
Ryuji may be my ideal type on paper, but I'm also highly attracted to Yusuke and this is so totally unfair.
*softly chanting* butlers butlers butlers butlers
Don't mind me just... *makes meticulous plot to avoid having Makoto join the team that i may or may not write a fanfic about*
Makoto is one dumbass bitch. Like, honestly, there's nothing she does that's in any way remotely smart.
...I thought I'd just skip Makoto's scenes until she became relevant, but here I am, still skipping her scenes. Does that mean she’s still irreleveant?
"Witch" I suggest, and Makoto complains! "Would you prefer "Bitch"? I can use that too.
I put Yusuke on the team in the middle of the palace through settings, replacing Morgana, who had been standing right behind me. Which made Yusuke stand right behind me. It looked like he was holding onto my waist and standing uncomfortably close. Bro, babe, I love you, but not in front of my boyfriend and girlfriend!
Just accept the compliment, guys, I'm not going to compliment Queen.
...Opening chests with Ann or Ryuji is just so sweet because they're so affectionate and touchy feely. Especially Ryuji.
Math. Fucking. Sucks. I should not have to use math in a game. I hate this. Obviously it's the Palace Makoto comes in that this happened.
Well, I finished the Palace in a day. I love the feeling. But it was getting close there. Joker and Yusuke were down to no spells...
...Yoshizawa hasn't showed up yet. When is she getting shoehorned in?
WHY IS THE VELVET ROOM RED!?
My very first playthrough I didn't execute a single execution except for the first one we have to do. It  really screwed me over my second playthrough...
...I broke the electric chair. That's certainly something that happened.
147 games of Tycoon later and I've only been a beggar 31 times in total, versus the pure thirty wins in just Cutthroat.
They're in their summer uniforms and it makes make miss warmer weather already. It's fucking snowing outside. Grrrr.
Beat Kaneshiro! ...Wasn't a fan of his new boss battle. I'm even playing on safe mode! But whatever.
Makoto is a DISASTER at Tycoon. She exclusively got beggar all three times I played with her!
...RYUJI YOU CAN'T SAY SHIT LIKE THAT AND NOT LET ME DATE YOU.
Ann, sweeties, baby, you're doing so well.
She confessed to me, then in the call afterwards it was basically insinuated I proposed... WHICH IS LIKE FUCK YEAH 'CAUSE SHE ACCEPTED IT.
It makes me think of the future conversation where they're talking about marriage.
Anyway, if you haven't noticed, l love Ann.
My next playthrough I'm not gong to date her, though. I'm a completionist and I want ALL of the possible awards. But... I refuse to cheat on Ann. So I'll date everyone else then just hang with Ryuji... despite how cringy some of the date things are.
...If Akechi wasn't, you know EVIL and tried to KILL ME, SEVERAL TIMES, I might, MIGHT, like him. But in truth, I think that's really just the Persona 5: Revival talking. We get... into some stuff during that.
I know that either Atlus or the translators know EXACTLY what goes on in the Persona fandom because otherwise "He's too pretty to be wrong" would not be an option when talking to the newspaper girl about Akechi. I have to agree with her that his looks aren't really, you know, awesome enough for that.
Also, I read it as "He's too petty to be wrong" at first and I think that's an accurate sum of his character.
YO AKECHI-FUCK I HAVE NO NEED TO SEE YOUR ASS LIKE THAT WHEN I HAVE BOTH A BF AND AND GF.
...fucker fucking giving me shit about my fake glasses...
If you COULD date the boy out of mod, Akechi would definitely be the one they were pushing you to date. Like Makoto. Or Yoshizawa.
But hey, at least I get to not be nice to him.
I remember seeing this picture where Ann, Ryuji, and Joker kept going to the movies together and seeing 3D movies, and Joker couldn't wear the 3D glasses properly because of his own. I keep imagining that picture during this event with Caroline and Justine.
You know what? Some people call Joker a loli lover because of them, but nope! He's just adopted two more siblings. That is my stance on it.
FUcking
Fucker
WHAT THE FRRRRRRRR
FUCK YOU ATULS OR TRANSLATORS OR WHATEVER
APHRODITE AND MARS ARE FROM TWO DIFFERENT MYTHOS. Aphrodite is GREEK, Mars is ROMAN. Their reversed are VENUS and ARES. USE ONE OR THE OTHER PEOPLE.
I get very pissed about this, and it's worse with Hades.
7/4 is the day I am screaming at, if you were wondering.
My dad asked me if the other students think Joker's stupid because every time I answer a question right they get all surprised.
I don't really like Makoto, as I'm sure you've noticed, but she was super nice about Ryuji's special move idea. And that put her ahead of Akechi in my book.
TESTS ARE NERVE WRACKING EVEN WHEN THEY'RE FICTIONAL
Yusuke and Ryuji are good boys, the best boys. And they're so awesome about their special move.
AND RYUJI OFFERED MONEY FOR YUSUKE'S FOOD. And implied that he did it before???? Ryuji, you best boy.
This boys' outing DOES make me happy, though. Like, insanely happy. Dunno why.
Maybe because Joker gets to be so flipping cheesy.
...fuck you, Yoshizawa.
HONESTLY WHAT THE EVER LOVING--- Grr. Too many choices while with her. Too many. OOC Joker when with her. 0/10.
I LOVE THE FESTIVAL PHOTO
And you know, it's really hard to choose between Lala-chan and Ann, but... GONNA TAKE ANN ON A DATE
Got her some flowers. Lets see if we can give them to her this time!
"Such a good FRIEND." Babe, we're DATING. For like, TWO WEEKS NOW.
AND I DIDN'T EVEN GET TO GIVE HER FLOWERS
Ann called Yusuke a pretty boy, but then she's missing out on the REAL pretty boy, Pretty Boy Ryuji.
Ryuji, why're you so worried about other girls when you've got ME?
"I like the shade." "What are you, moss!?" Oh, admit it, Ryuji, I'm growing on you.
Cargona. Snrk. Gods, I love you, Ryuji.
Dome town with Ryuji! "Isn't it all couples?" That's the point!
I COULD GIVE RYUJI THE ROSES!?
Sadly, I bought those for Ann. Ryuji, you get the noodles.
AND HE FUCKING LOVED IT.
"It feels like I really captured Ryuji's heart!" FUCK YEAH I DID
Gonna give Yusuke the bracelet when I get the chance.
Why is everyone color coded in the chat room? Kawakami, Akechi, Mishima, and the reporter are all ORANGE. What's the point? Well, Akechi's more of a golden orange, but close enough.
While Mishima is not my first choice for a date, he's definitely not my last.
...But the boy really needs some fucking sleep. He's not drawn with the bags under his eyes, but I can see them!
It's not fair that they give Akechi a kicked puppy sprite. I'm... goddamnit, they're trying to make me not hate him.
When Makoto doesn't know something, I'm brought great joy.
NO DAD MAKOTO IS NOT MY GIRLFRIEND ANN IS AND SHE IS LITERALLY R I G H T T H E R E
First day in Futaba's Palace! I've gotta say, this is my second favorite palace. Kamoshida, Futaba, Madarame, Sae, Okumura, Shido, Kaneshiro, Holy Grail. In that order. I HATE Kaneshiro's place and dealing with the Holy Grail. But whatevs, man. I love this game. (Vanilla, at least, this one is still on the fence)
I found out a cool little thing. On the uphill sand slopes in the town (don't know about anywhere else) if you're running and turn back quickly, Joker will do a little animation to steady himself. It was cool and made it seem, I dunno, more human? Anyway, while I was admiring this, Ryuji and Yusuke just stood at the top of the slope and Ann followed me while I was running. Best girlfriend ever.
Kin-Ki is looking pretty kin-ky if you know what I'm sayin'
Please don't murder me because I do terrible puns.
*we fall through the trap door* *Ryuji starts screaming* Same, baby, same.
...Makoto is seriously annoying. Like, she's got no business acting as familiar with Futaba's situation. The one who WOULD be the most familiar is Yusuke, and I'm glad he recognizes that. It's not the exact same, none of their stories are after all, but I feel like those two get each other better than even Ryuji and Joker understand each other.
Yusuke and Ryuji's special attack is THE BEST
Ryuji and Joker getting up close and personal in the shadows. All those fanfics coming true, man.
I thought Futaba was sloth, not wrath? Why are her Will Seeds called Wrath?
Beat it in one day! It's so satisfying to watch all those achievements when I leave the palace.
You know, I'm thinking of wearing the Christmas outfits for the final battle. Just to be kinda funny.
Spending a relaxing day with Yusuke after going through Futaba's Palace... kinda want to take him to the bathhouse to check out that new scene, but I also REALLY wanna feed the boy... gonna feed the boy.
Apparently I can only make 'decent curry.' Which is fine. Because "I" can't make curry at all. Joker, you've done much better than I.
THE DATE CHANGE SCREEN HAD A RAINBOW AND RYUJI WAS COMING OVER ON THE SAME DAY FUCK YEAH MY BISEXUAL BABY
...Broooooo, the way you talk about your manga is how I talk right before I start shipping.
Took him to the bathhouse, 'cause I don't gotta worry about Mama Sakamoto feeding him.
...Can I take Ann to the bathhouse?
Asked Ryuji to move in. He was all up for the idea until he remembered that I live in an attic.
I'm Charismatic now!
...I was all hoping Ann would stop by but then Akechi asked me out. Laaaaaaaame.
Ryuji's smile is so fucking cute.
...I say we just be honest, and everyone's so fucking stupid about it until Makoto explains it. This pisses me off. They're not that dumb... At least, they weren't until Makoto showed up.
Futaba's hiding in the closet. ...I've spent too many weeks making jokes about closets to not have a joke about it.
Really, Yusuke? You see those books and think she can't understand?
...Wait, that sassy tone of voice... You were TRYING to pull a reaction of her. I knew I shipped those two for a reason. OTP and BroTP. Doesn't matter, they're both awesome.
I love you Ann, but I don't think your situations were the same at all. It's not like both are valid and bad, but... different.
Joker is SO fast compared to the others, especially when he's speeding.
What the...
Holy fuck...
JOKER IS TOO EFFING COOL
THAT MOVE TO GET FROM THE ENTRANCE TO TO TREASURE DOOR? Awesome!
Damn, Joker has my heart too.
I kinda wish we could see Futaba's costumes in her Persona. That would be pretty neat.
The moment right before Wakaba appears is so aesthetically pleasing.
...Futaba being happy is almost enough for me to accept Maruki's offer, and I haven't gotten there yet.
Ryuji and Ann keep smacking each other out of their ailments. Like, you guys just love each other so much! It's awesome.
Joker has lackluster responses to Wakaba... I'm hoping that isn't one of those "Answer these wrong and you break her!" things... Not that I think I was, but still.
I liked Futaba's new animation for when she defied her mother.
I wish the anime looked more the cutscenes. I'm trying to rewatch the anime so I can pinpoint specific moments for future editing purposes, but it's kinda painful.
1- This is the SECOND TIME you've landed on Yusuke while running from trouble.
2- YUSUKE LET GO OF MY GIRL
No Makoto, I don't want to go see Futaba with you! I can go see her myself.
So, I like Takemi's new voice with her lines during this scene.
Sure, she collapses every so often and sleeps for a while. Stays like that for a few days. Sorry that I put her into a coma for a month, Boss...
SHE LOOKS SO CUTE WITHOUT GLASSES
Guys, we have a month. Stop worrying.
THE TWINS ARE SO CUTE WHILE HANGING ONTO THE BENCH PRESS
Damn, Joker's dying to the amusement of two little girls.
I'm kinda disappointed I didn't get results for all that training. But I liked the scene.
Yusuke just casually be lugging bigass paintings around.
Taking the girls to the church may have been one of the funnier moments. These cement them as Joker's little sisters. With Futaba. Damn, Joker, you got no brothers.
Yusuke promises to come by every day and we can tell him to take his clothes off. ATLUS, you have some EXPLAINING to DO.
..And Yusuke took it and ran with it. My sweet summer child, I don't think I could handle you in as little as possible on the day to day.
"The heat induced delirium made me think outside the box." Same.
Guts takes sooooooooooooo long to level up.
"Punish me more" he says, as if Takemi won't do it.
"Good god. Well, none of my medicine can cure THAT." AT LEAST WE'RE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE
BATHHOUSE WITH YUSUKE
Awe, he had fun. :)

if it’s made by love
happy holidays, @justabookishpirate !! i was your @mlsecretsanta !! hope you like it 😅😅😅
“No, Alya, this has to be perfect!” Marinette stressed to (one) of her best friends. Alya looked up from where she was studiously squinting at the present on Marinette’s desk, fondly exasperated with her best friend. “Girl, you know I love you, but you know who loves you more?” Alya paused for a beat, not letting Marinette answer before continuing. “Adrien! Marinette, that boy is head over heels for you, more in love than I have EVER seen a boy in love before! He’s going to love anything and everything you make for him, girl, all because it was made for him with love-” And here she stopped to grasp Marinette’s shoulders meaningfully- “by you! Marinette, I swear that he will love it, and if he doesn’t, then, well,” her glasses flashed menacingly. 
“He’s got something coming for him…” Marinette sighed, placing the heels of her hands to her eyes and rubbing gently in a circle. “You really think so, Als?” Alya smiled gently, placing a chaste kiss against the bluenette’s pale forehead. 
“I know so, girl,” she said confidently, patting Marinette’s shoulders once more before turning to examine the sweater Marinette had knitted as her present for her boyfriend. With colors in vivid red and deep blacks, the colors represented the superheroine that Paris was famous for while retaining all her feline partner’s style and signatures. Ladybug’s colors were flashed and displayed in the loud, dramatic manner Chat Noir was well known for. Alya examined it once more, this time as an admiring viewer rather than a critical approver. Her smile turned slightly sharper and her eyebrows tilted up. “I still don’t understand why you would make something related to Ladybug and Chat Noir for your gift to Adrien.” Marinette’s eyes went wide with panic, and her head snapped up. 
Laughing loudly and probably too nervously, Marinette shot up straight and grabbed Alya’s arm, dragging her downstairs while stammering out reasons. “There’s no- pfft it’s just- admire them a lot- couple goals right?!? Ladybug and Chat Noir, racing Adrien Agreste and Marinette Dupain-Cheng- nOT THAT I’M IMPLYING WE COULD EVER BEAT THEM I JUST-” Giving up on the incoherent thoughts rambling out of her mouth, she hung her head as she crumpled into Alya. Alya laughed softly, gently petting Marinette’s hair and rolling her eyes fondly. 
Whining, Marinette limped alongside Alya as they made their way down the soft blue stairwell that led to the bakery. “I’m just teasing, girl. Adrien’s gonna love it, and don’t you forget it!” Marinette smiled sweetly, thinking of a boy with blonde hair and bright green eyes, eyes that were sincere as he told her he would love her on all sides of the mask- that he always has. “I know,” she agreed. “Thanks, Alya.” Dumping a bag of extra treats from the bakery into her friend’s protesting arms, Marinette waved at the reporter as she bounced off towards her home with promises to see her tomorrow. Taking a moment to admire the snowflakes dancing gracefully from the sky, Marinette’s blue eyes shone happily as she made her way back towards her room. After all, she did have a kitty to make a present for.
Sitting back down on her desk, she once again re-examined the sweater she’d made her boyfriend. With shifting red hues as the background, corny puns were littered chaotically in black around the sweater’s vast expanse. All the puns had come from Chat Noir himself, a mass collection of the feline superhero’s ‘best’ puns. Small ladybugs and black cats provided a pattern between the texts. Smiling, Marinette recalled Alya’s words- that he’d love whatever she made him because she made it with love. Satisfied, she began gently packing it into her custom-made gift box. Getting out her red and green plaid Christmas wrapping paper, she meticulously wrapped the rectangular box containing Adrien’s sweater. A tiny yawn sounded from behind her. “Enjoy your nap, Tikki?” The small kwami floated up lazily to Marinette, perching on her shoulder. “I did! How was Alya’s visit? Is she doing good?” Marinette giggled. Tikki always took an interest in her friends, asking after their well-being. “She’s good, Tikki. She gave me some good advice.” Tikki smiled knowingly at her charge. “She probably did,” the sprite agreed. Marinette finished cutting the required amount of wrapping paper and placed her scissors down. Moving to her chaise, she picked up the clear tape residing there and breathed out nervously. 
“I know Alya said he’ll love whatever I make him, but what if he doesn’t? What if he’s expecting something unique and he opens my gift, and all he sees is this lame sweater, and he’s disappointed, and he doesn’t talk to me for the rest of the night, and we break up the next morning-” Tikki flitted up to Marinette’s face soothingly. “Marinette,” she gently reprimanded. “Listen, you’re amazingly talented, and Adrien will love anything you give him, even if it’s thrown together at 3 in the morning. Your gift is excellent, and you’ve poured your love for him into it! He’ll love it, Marinette, and that’s a promise.”
Marinette beamed. “Aw, Tikki,” she cooed while scooping the tiny red being into her palms and moving her to her face. “Thank you,” she whispered, the last of her doubt flying away. Tikki giggled. “Of course!”

“Nino, she’s going to hate it.” Nino sighed, tossing a stress ball between his hands. They were in Adrien’s room, Adrien facing down on his bed and Nino sitting on the couch. “Dude, she’s not gonna hate it,” Nino comforted. “She will!” Adrien shot up. “She’ll look at it, and it’ll be too ugly in comparison to her amazing gift, so she’ll act like it’s nice to stop me from feeling hurt on Christmas because Marinette’s amazing like that, but then the next day she’ll break up with me because it’s not Christmas anymore and then-” Nino raised his hands in a placating manner, eyebrow raised and mouth quirked in amusement. “Bro, you know I love you, but seriously? Marinette’s gonna love anything you get her, even if it was bought by your old man. As long as it’s something coming from you with love, she’s gonna love it.”
Adrien turned to face Nino, eyes shining with unshed tears. “You love me?” Nino nodded solemnly and raised his fist. “Bro.” Adrien sniffled. “Bro.” 
“You really think she’ll like it?” Adrien worried, pushing himself towards his desk and examining the plain white box on his desk. Nino thought back to the necklace, a sterling silver chain with obsidian ladybugs inlaid with emeralds, and confirmed, “She’ll love it.” Adrien audibly exhaled and tilted his head up.
“What I still don’t understand,” Nino mused, tossing his stress ball back up, “is why you’re getting your girl a necklace with Chat Noir’s colors on it. It is kind of awkward, isn’t it? One of Paris’ top dudes getting his girl a gift with the other top dude’s signature colors on it?” 
Adrien’s head whipped around. “HAHAHA NOOOO, IT’S NOT AWKWARD AT ALL!! MARINETTE KNOWS THAT IT’S JUST UH-” Floundering, Adrien blurted out, “Couple goals! Yep, it’s just couple goals! You know, Ladybug and Chat Noir being the top couple in Paris, we want to be in the running, kind of, nOT THAT I’M IMPLYING WE COULD EVER BEAT THEM I JUST-” He threw his arms up in the air, giving up. Nino chuckled. “I get it, dude,” he comforted. “I’d need ten more hands to count how many times Alya’s wanted to cosplay as Ladybug and Chat Noir. Kinda like that, huh?”
Adrien seized the escape gratefully. “Yes! Like that,” he chuckled nervously. Nino smirked to himself. His poor friend. Checking his phone, his eyes widened when he saw that he was cutting it close to meeting Alya. “Listen, dude, I gotta go,” he said, clambering over the couch. He fist-bumped Adrien, who smiled, relieved. “Thanks, Nino,” he said, following Nino out his door. Waving at his friend, who shouted promises to see him tomorrow, he turned back inside and walked back to his room.
Once he reached there, he plopped himself in his desk chair and considered his present once again. Stretching out and carefully pulling the necklace out, he laid it in his hand and examined it. 
The sterling silver chain held small obsidian ladybugs decorated with tiny drops of emeralds in their backs. Threaded carefully on the fine silver line, they bounced merrily when the necklace was moved. Adrien sighed, placing it back in the box and leaning back in his chair.
A large yawn sounded out from behind him, and Plagg drifted down to Adrien’s desk. “I can hear your lovesick sighs from all the way over there,” he grumbled. “What’s wrong this time.” Adrien closed his eyes. “Nino said she’ll like my gift, but what if she doesn’t? Knowing Marinette, she’ll probably make something amazing and spectacular, and all I’ll have to give her is a necklace.” 
Plagg groaned. “That’s all? Listen, kid, that bug is crazy for you. Always has been, always will be. A gift isn’t going to magically turn that off- if anything, it’ll be your terrible sense of humor. All you’ve gotta do is give her something with love, and you’re all set for life.”
Adrien looked consideringly at his kwami, then smiled. “Thanks, Plagg,” he said softly. Plagg huffed. “Yeah, yeah, now give me my camembert. I’m hungry!”
~
“Hey, girl!” Alya greeted Marinette cheerfully. She stepped through the door, beaming at Alya. “Hi! Am I late?” Alya hummed. “For you? Nah,” she dismissed and giggled when Marinette swatted her. “Nino and Adrien are already here, but you’re not late.” Marinette huffed a laugh. “And thank goodness for that.” Laughing, the girls made their way to Alya’s living room, Marinette’s hand clutched worriedly around her present. 
The boys, who had been chatting by the tree, turned around at the sound of the girls. Adrien lit up like, well, a Christmas tree. “Marinette!” He cheered, scrambling up towards her. Marinette laughed, stress ebbing away. “Hi, Adrien,” she smiled back, kissing her boyfriend gently. 
Nino and Alya smiled at their best friends. “All right, you guys, it’s time for presents!” Alya announced, clapping her hands with enthusiasm. “I’ll go first!” Adrien got a patch that said ‘sunshine boy’ in cursive on a sun, to which he laughed at and hugged Alya. Marinette got a day planner- “So you can keep track of all your activities,” Alya said with a mischievous glance. Marinette laughed. “Thank you, Alya!” After hugging her, Alya settled back down into Nino’s arms and passed his gift box. “For you, babe,” she said, smirking. “Merry Christmas.” Nino glanced at her suspiciously, then laughed and shook his head. “Thanks, love,” he said, kissing her on the cheek and opening his gift.
He stared at the hoodie inside. “Alya, are you serious?” Adrien and Marinette craned their necks from their spot on the floor. “What is it?” Adrien asked, eyes burning with curiosity. Groaning, Nino pulled out a Carapace hoodie. Alya snickered, voice filled with false innocence as she said, “My favorite superhero merch for my favorite man!” Nino threw his head back, done. “All right, my turn,” he said. 
Adrien got his own pair of headphones, to which they fist-bumped and saluted. Marinette got a set of watercolor pencils, to which her eyes lit up at. “Aw, Nino, you remembered!” Hugging her friend, Marinette settled back into Adrien’s arms, beaming. “Thank you!” Alya took her gift from Nino, kissing him on the cheek. She then pulled out a Rena Rouge hoodie. Her eyes widened, and she whipped her head around to stare accusingly at her boyfriend. Nino shrugged sheepishly. “Great minds think alike?” 
Before Alya could murder Nino, Marinette piped up. “My turn!” She chirped. Alya got a new phone case with Ladybug and Chat Noir on it- “Marinette! You’re the best!” “Aw, Alya…”- and Nino got a pair of knitted gloves. “Hey, thanks, Marinette!” She giggled. “No problem, Nino!”
Taking a deep breath, she turned to Adrien. “Adrien,” she said, suddenly nervous. “This is our first Christmas together as, well, a couple. And, uh, I really really tried my best with this, so…” She passed the box to him. “Merry Christmas?” Adrien took her hands in his and rubbed them comfortingly. “My lady,” he said, serious, “As long as it comes from you, I will always love it- and that’s a promise.” Marinette’s eyes widened, and then she smiled at him. “Open it, then,” she said softly.
Releasing her hands, Adrien carefully removed the wrapping paper and opened the blue box. Gasping, he pulled out the sweater with careful hands. Examining the intricate details in it, he sniffed, then pulled it on. “Thank you, princess,” he said, voice wobbly. Marinette hugged him. “Always, kitty,” she whispered. 
Composing himself, Adrien brightened. “My turn!” Alya got a pair of Ladybug earmuffs- “ADRIEN!! I love it!!” “I’m glad you do!!”- and Nino got two VIP tickets to Jagged Stone’s next concert. “Bro.” “Bro.”  
Picking up the last present under the tree, Adrien gently hands it over to Marinette. “Merry Christmas, my lady,” he said, smiling nervously. Marinette squeezed his hands reassuringly and opened the white box. Gasping, she gently lifted the necklace. The ladybugs danced cheerfully, and the light flashed off the silver chain. 
“Adrien,” Marinette whispered, in awe. “This is… beautiful.” Turning around, she pressed her lips to his cheek. “I love it!” Adrien lit up. “May I?” He asked, holding his hand out for the necklace. She conceded, and he delicately placed the jewelry around her slim neck.
Alya squealed. “Oh, Marinette, it’s beautiful!” Nino shot them a thumbs-up. “Nice, dudette,” he agreed. Marinette blushed. “Thank you,” she said bashfully. Alya shot up. “It’s gingerbread house time!” She declared. 
~
After the war had been won, friendships destroyed and repaired, Nino checked his phone. “Ah, I gotta go,” he said guiltily. “I’m needed back home.” Alya rose up and offered her hand to him. “I’ll see you out,” she said. Nino accepted her hand and waved to Adrien and Marinette. “See you guys at school,” he said, smiling. Alya pulled him out of the room. They watched after their best friends fondly. “They’re cute,” Marinette said, snuggling further to Adrien. Adrien hummed. “Maybe one day we’ll be like them,” he said wistfully.
“Do you think they know?” Nino asked as Alya handed him his jacket. Alya snorted. “Adrien and Marinette? Nah, they’re the most oblivious people on the planet. They wouldn’t know even if we handed them notes saying ‘We know you’re Ladybug and Chat Noir!’” Nino chuckled. “Yeah, you’re probably right.” Tugging his jacket on, Nino turns back to Alya. “Bye, love,” he said, waving. Alya’s eyes flash. “Nuh-uh, DJ Turtle,” she sings, pulling him back. “You forgot something.” Nino furrowed his brows, then looked up. “Oh.” 
Alya smirked, looping her arms around his neck. “Yeah, oh,” she teased. Nino looked down at her fondly. “Mistletoe, huh?” He whispered. Alya hummed. “It works,” she whispered back. After a sweet kiss, Alya watched him go, leaning against the doorway. Only one thought was in both of their minds-
I’m so lucky.

So, we all agree Sailor Moon is a big time gamer girl right?
Like, she collects the gaming manuals and the character figurines. Plays mostly PC and stans Nintendo and leans into the retro games pretty hard. And all her gaming accontrement matches the pink cat ear headphones. On an average day you'll find her in a cute dress, but it's highlighted by the glow of a computer screen and hitched up near ro her hips because "it's just comfortable that way Mamo-chan! I don't know why!"
Often because she's pretty. Because she's blonde. Because she's easily distracted. Because she dresses cute. People (men and teenage boys) think she's a fake gamer girl.
And. Oh. OH. Fourth best to cuddling with her boyfriend and cat simultaneously, kicking ass and spreading justice with her squad, or beating a high score at the local arcade (all tied for first) is making gamer boys suck it.
Cons have been flooded with the frustrated tears she's induced. She's caused riots that she flounces away from like a sprite on a moonbeam. Once, with Mamo-chan's help, she convinced a guy with deep pockets and shallow brain matter to buy her a glittery pink Nintendo switch. Because it was so pretty! And she was so sad! Her boyfriend just broke-up with her in front of everyone! How sweet and how vulnerable and how grateful she was that he had appeared to save her and show her around!!
Ten seconds after the purchase was completed and Usagi had the bag on hand, Mamo-Chan had circled back and asked casually if she wanted to get back together.
Today's Con proved no less productive.
As often happened, vendors took Mamo-chan for the gamer and Usagi as his cute little girlfriend. Half of that is true. Usagi was big enough to admit she was damn adorable. Usually it worked in their favor. Usagi got to view the merch without having someone trying to convince her to buy and Mamo-chan got to practice his calm bedside manner on people who clearly wanted the attention.
Sometime before lunch a vendor caught her ire. Hanger might have been a component. Cons were long and tiring and she'd run out of the trail mix Mamo-chan had packed for her two hours ago. (Okay, she'd picked out the last of the chocolate and dried fruit pieces. Leaving the disgusting nuts to be tossed away later.)
"Aw, you're a such a great girl for letting your boyfriend drag you around a Con."
Usagi is a great girl. The best girl. The many people she saves on the regular all agree. But coming from a grown man with a greasy ponytail and an MLP t-shirt depicting Rainbow Dash hog-tied by Apple Jack? Gross.
"I'm dragging him around actually. And yes. He is great."
"Oh!" For a brief, naive moment, Usagi takes the surprised smile as a sign that the guy isn't as terrible as originally thought. Oh how badly good things end. "Well, I hope he's showing you all the good stuff!"
How is it that an evil space queen can hear her from across an entire artic shelf, but this guy can't hear from two feet away?
Usagi shoots Mamo-chan a look that tells him that she's about to drag him into some shit. His responding look asks her to make it short. He's hungry too.
"Mamo-chan, how about you tell him what you thought the difference is between play station and x-box?"
"He'll laugh. They always laugh."
"Because it's hilarious. Now tell him."
Mamo-chan sighs. He'll do it. Because he loves his reincarnated-goddess-girlfriend-soulmate. so. goddamn. much. That and the glint in her eyes says she's two seconds away from moon-smiting the guy. And he is not down to hear her excuses of, "he was clearly evil! He was sucking all the joy out of the room! And those prices!" all afternoon.
"I thought the play station was the store where you bought x-boxes."
The man indeed laughs, an awkward chuckle that indicates the implosion going on to his world-view.
"It. It's okay man, everyone's gotta start off somewhere!"
A response Usagi knows she wouldn't have received to admitting the same mistake. Mamo-chan makes a grab for her purse before she can reach for her wand. Smart.
"His best friend literally owns an arcade and he thought a joy-stick was a type of popsicle! I asked him once to disconnect my controller and he took the batteries out of the tv remote! We play Smash Bros and he picks Little Mac! You have the audacity to think he's showing me, ME around? When you're selling stolen art prints for a 200% mark-up, which I can tell because of the damn watermark you forgot to clean up! At least he's-" she points very proudly to her boyfriend "-going to be a doctor! He's going to contribute to society! You're a talentless worm surviving off the insecurities and discomfort of people who- Hey! Mamo-chan! Put me down! I was just getting started!!"
Her boyfriend heaves her over his shoulder. With a pout she resigns to her fate and parts with the vendor with a glare.
Mamo-chan buys her a milkshake and french fries. After a few sips and half the fries disappear the world feels a whole lot better.
"Sorry. I didn't mean to make you sound dumb. You know besides Ami, you're the smartest person I know."
He smiles at her, soft and understanding and she feels incredibly lucky. "I know. After we're done eating we can go back and you can keep yelling at him if you want."
"Really?!"
He nods and Usagi nearly sends her milkshake to the floor to lunge across the table to kiss him.

Synopsis: When Riley Brooks takes a new job as a nanny for the affluent Rhys family in New York’s Upper East Side, she assumes she’s just going to care for the children of the couple who hired her. But instead of just school pick-ups and afternoon snacks, she also finds herself spending time with Liam, the handsome divorced dad. Can Riley control her feelings for Liam while still performing the job she was hired for?

Chapter Summary: Liam and Leo try to get to the bottom of the tabloid scandal and Liam tries to win Riley back. 
Almost a month had passed since the tabloid incident. In that time, the press found plenty of other scandals to latch on to. Not hard to do in this city. Lucky for me, my divorce has all but been forgotten about. I still get the occasional paparazzo bombarding me with questions of if I’m “banging the new nanny,” but for the most part, they’ve moved on. 
The last month has been hard on the kids as well. After Madeleine fired Riley, she replaced her almost immediately. Seems kind of suspicious to me, but whatever. The new nanny — a woman named Belinda — is a lovely woman, but the kids haven’t quite warmed up to her like they did Riley. They keep asking me when she’s coming back. I don’t have the heart to tell them that she probably won’t. They were visibly upset when I told them she would no longer be their nanny. Charlotte cried. Philip asked me if she didn’t like us anymore. They still talk about how much they miss her. To be honest, I do too. 
If we’re being honest here, I never once thought she did it. And not because we were involved. I saw how she was with my kids and I could tell she genuinely cared for them. She treated them like they were her own. Many nights I would come home from work and hear Philip talk about all the fun things he and Riley did, or hear Charlotte gush about how pretty and nice Riley was to her and how she let her wear whatever she wanted to school. I also remember all the times she told me that she didn’t care about my money, so there’s no way she would sell us out for a payday. 
It’s Monday morning and I’m sitting in my office at Cordonia Enterprises looking over the numbers for this quarter when my brother Leo strolls in, looking like he had just woken up from a week-long sex and booze bender. He moves over to the bar cart, pours himself three fingers of scotch, and plops down in the seat across from me. 
“You look like shit, little bro,” he smiles behind the rim of his glass. 
“You would know. You smell like a brothel.” 
He laughs loudly and takes a sip of his scotch, then sets it on the desk. “Well, you’re ex-nanny needed someone to comfort her after you tossed her out on the street, so I offered her my services. Did you know she makes the cutest noises when she cums?” He makes a show of adjusting himself. “My balls are getting tight just thinking about it.” 
I clench the pen in my hand with enough force that my knuckles turn white. I know he’s trying to fuck with me, so I take a deep breath, controlling my rage. “What the fuck do you want, Leo?” 
He chuckles and kicks his feet up on my desk. I love my brother, but he can be a real dickhead at times. When Madeleine and I started dating, he gave me shit for months about me picking up his ‘sloppy seconds.’ Once, he asked me if she ever called out his name in bed. Fucker. After we were married, he warned me that she was just using me to get back at him. I probably should have listened to him. When I announced to my family that she and I were splitting up, he revealed that she had tried to seduce him on more than one occasion. Thankfully, he had no interest in getting involved with her again. My brother may be a total asshole, but he wouldn’t deliberately hurt me. 
“So, I think I know how to help you with your little predicament.” 
“My predicament?” 
“The tabloid leak. I think I know who was behind it. Or at least had something to do with it.”  
“It’s been a month, man. Everyone's forgotten about it,” I say, setting my pen down. 
“Really? Because your ex-wife called me last week.”  
I raise my brows and give him my full attention. This should be good. 
“Yeah, she called me crying, telling me how much she misses me. Not like I haven’t heard that over and over the last seven years. I warned you about her, Li. That chick is crazy. I’m pretty sure she was drunk. So anyway, she asks me if I knew about you and your nanny. Told her I had heard some things. Then she gives me some pathetic sob story about how you made her do what she did. ‘I had to do it, Leo. Who knows how long this has been going on?’” I nod and wait for him to continue.  
“I ask her to elaborate. She sputters out some lame-ass excuse about how you fucking the nanny behind her back pushed her into the arms of another man. The timing clearly didn’t line up since we all know you filed before you hired Riley, but I didn’t tell her that. I just let her dig her hole. She goes on about how she took matters into her own hands. Now that Riley’s out of the picture, things can go back to normal.” He laughs and finishes off his drink. 
“What does Riley have to do with all this?” I ask.  
“I asked her the same thing. She said that she knew Riley was no good from the beginning, but that you had convinced her to hire her because of her background. She suspected something was up after the paparazzi incident at the park, but that you had talked her out of doing something rash. That’s when she convinced you to hire Mara to keep tabs on Riley. I guess Mara had been giving her updates. She also rambled on about how Mara always bought Riley those tabloid magazines. That’s when she said she knew Riley had something to do with it. She didn’t come outright and say it, but the signs are all there.” 
I struggle to process the info that was just dumped in my lap. Would Madeleine really stoop that low? I know she wasn’t happy about me filing for divorce, but would she be vindictive enough to put our children in harm’s way just to get back at me? Why was the nanny collateral damage? And why would she wait a month to say anything? Guilt, perhaps? None of this makes sense.  
“Do you have proof of this, Leo?” 
“Dude. Why the fuck would I lie about it? You know damn well she still wants me. Even with her new man in the picture. Seven years she’s tried to get me to take her back. I wish I would have recorded it so you could listen to how desperate she sounded.” 
“Not that, you dick. About the leak.” 
“Oh yeah, that. No, I don’t have proof. But I have a hunch. And I’m usually 90% right about these things.”  
I drop my head in my hands. Yep, the signs are all there. Now, I just have to find a way to prove what I’ve suspected all along. I pull out my phone and shoot a group text to Max, Drake, and Liv, asking them to meet up tonight. If I’m going to nail my ex-wife to the wall, I need my most trusted friends to help me. 
***
Drake, Maxwell, Olivia, my brother, and I meet at The Double Tappe after work. The place is empty — not unusual for a Monday — giving us the whole bar to ourselves. We all congregate in one of the booths in the back and Leo repeats what he told me this morning. Drake and Max are completely shocked by the revelation. Olivia, however, sits there stone-faced. 
“I knew there was a reason I didn’t like her,” she says.  
“You don’t like anyone,” Maxwell retorts, then flinches when Olivia punches him in the arm. He rubs the spot where she made contact and turns to me. “Whatcha gonna do about this, Li?” 
“I don’t know. It’s been a month, so it’s going to be hard to prove at this point. I need solid evidence that Madeleine was involved because she’ll never admit to it. The first person I need to talk to is Mara. Hopefully, she can give us some answers.”  
“What about a wire-tap? I know a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy,” Drake shrugs in between sips of whiskey. 
“Pretty sure that’s illegal in this state,” Olivia says. 
Leo snaps his fingers. “That’s true, but New York is a one-party consent state. So, if one of us gets Madeleine to confess and records it, we technically wouldn’t be breaking the law.” 
“Okay, so who could we get to coerce that kind of information out of her?” I ask. 
Leo leans back and grins, crossing his arms behind his head. We all look at each other, knowing exactly who will handle this task. If anyone can persuade Madeleine to spill the beans, it’s definitely him. 
“How are we going to do this?” Max asks. 
“Well, I say loverboy here tries to seduce her. She’ll tell you anything you want to hear if she thinks she can get you back,” Olivia says. 
“Well then, it’s settled. Work your magic, Leo,” Drake replies. The five of us clink our glasses in celebration, although it feels premature since we don’t have actual evidence against her yet. We spend the rest of the evening sharing drinks, memories, and laughter. It’s the most fun I’ve had in a long time. No kids, no work, no responsibilities. I haven’t done anything like this since college. As we gather up our things to leave, Drake pulls me aside. 
“Hey man, have you talked to Riley, lately?” 
“I’ve been trying to call and text her for weeks, but it’s been radio silence since Madeleine fired her. I even dropped by her apartment a few times, but no one was home. She must think I blame her for all this.” 
He sighs and runs his fingers through his hair. “She does. We tried to tell her that you don’t, but it’s understandable why she would think that. I guess she and Hana had a falling out as well. Last I heard, Hana moved out, so she’s living there by herself. I don’t know where she's working now. She doesn’t come around much anymore. You should try to talk to her again. Maybe explain your side of the story.” 
“Yeah. It’s just… I fucked up, Drake. I don’t blame her for anything. I should have told her that.” I rub the back of my neck. “Truth is, I think I’m in love with her.” 
“You need to tell her, man.” 
I nod, clapping him on the shoulder, then head for my car. The drive back to my penthouse is long, but it gives me time to think. I think back to what Drake told me. About her and Hana’s falling out. I know they’ve been best friends for a long time. Now, she’s alone. To think that if she never met me, none of this would have happened. It’s hard not to blame myself for all of this.
I think back on how different things are with Riley then they were with Madeleine. When I met Madeleine, I was more in love with the idea of her. I married her to please my father, and although I’ll always care for her as the mother of my children, the love was never really there. When I found out she cheated, I was almost relieved.  
The night Riley left, I sat in my study and went over everything that had happened over those few weeks. I feel my chest start to tighten. What is this? Emotion? I had learned to turn them off after Madeleine, but somehow, Riley made them come back. And suddenly, I want to fight for what we have. I never fought for Madeleine, but I feel the urge to for her. She’s the only woman I’ve ever felt that desire for. Making a decision, I take the next U-Turn and make the trip to her apartment.  
I arrive outside her building a few minutes later. Her bedroom window faces the street, and when I peer up at it, I notice the light is on. That’s a good sign. It means she’s home. I exit the car and make my way up to her floor. I pause outside her door, unsure of what to say to her. Come on, Li. Quit stalling and tell her how you feel. I knock on her door a few times and wait patiently for her to answer. I hear shuffling on the other side of the door, and when it swings open, the face on the other side is not the one I’m expecting. 
“Can I help you?” A young man answers the door, wearing only a pair of low-hanging joggers. He eyes me confusingly.  
“Uh…” I stumble, double-checking to see if I have the right apartment. “Is Riley here?” 
“Maybe. Who’s asking?” 
Must resist the urge not to knock this kid on his ass. “Tell her Liam needs to see her.” 
He rolls his eyes and holds a finger up, signaling me to wait, before closing the door in my face. I hear him call out to her on the other side, “Hey, Riley. There’s some suit here to see you. Says his name is Liam.” More shuffling and muffled voices, then the door swings open, and there stands my girl. Her brown locks are piled atop her head in a messy bun. She’s wearing a pair of short shorts, showing off her long legs, and a Steinhardt t-shirt. She stares at me for a few seconds before snapping out of her daze. 
“What are you doing here?” 
“You haven’t been returning my calls.” 
She huffs and crosses her arms over her chest. “There’s a reason for that.”  
I sigh, dragging my hand down my face. “Riley, please. Just listen to me.” 
“Why should I? You wouldn’t listen to me when I tried to explain myself.” 
Her words feel like a slap to my face. She’s absolutely right and I can’t argue otherwise. “I know I messed up, but if you give me a chance to explain myself, I’ll be on my way.” 
She turns and looks to the guy in her apartment, then back to me, then again at him. “Give me a sec, Josh,” she says, before stepping out into the hallway and pulling the door closed behind her. “You have two minutes.” 
I exhale. “I’m sorry. I want you to know I’m so sorry. For what I did. Or rather, what I didn’t do. I wasn’t thinking clearly. I never meant to hurt you, Riley. I get why you’re hurt. And if I was in your shoes, I’d feel the same way. When I saw the magazine, I didn’t believe you had anything to do with it, but in that moment, all I could think about was my kids.” 
She nods. “I know. Drake told me. But you could have said something to Madeleine instead of just letting her berate me. I would never do that to Philip and Charlotte. I love them like they were my own.” She looks down at her feet and her voice trembles. “I can’t believe you didn’t trust me when I’ve never given you a reason not to.” A tear rolls down her cheek. “All I’ve ever done is try to make you and those kids happy. Just because your ex-wife hurt you, doesn’t mean I would. You know that. I waited for you, Liam. I knew your circumstances with the divorce, and I still waited. And at the first sign of trouble, you jumped to conclusions. You didn’t give us a chance.” 
I reach out and tip her chin up to look at me. I gently rub her cheek with the pad of my thumb, brushing the tear away. “You’re right. I’m a fucking idiot. I know that now. I owe you so much more than a simple apology. You deserve better than that. I’m hoping it’s not too late to try and fix what I broke. I’ll do whatever it takes to earn your trust back.” 
She fidgets with the hem of her t-shirt. “I don’t know, Liam. I want to believe you. I really do. But I’m still hurt. I wish things had been different with us. I wish we had met under different circumstances. But, you have your children to think about. And I know they are your priority.” 
I swallow the lump in my throat. “Of course they are. But I want to make you my priority too. Tell me what I can do.” 
“Did you figure out who leaked the story?” 
I shake my head. 
She sighs. “I need time.” 
“Not too much time, I hope.” She doesn’t say anything for a long time. The silence between us saying more than our words do. I reach out and grab her hand, squeezing it. “I don’t know what else to say, Riley. Just think about it. I’ll be here, waiting.” I pull her hand up to my lips, placing a gentle kiss on the back of it. Then, I turn and head down the hall. The ache in my chest, deep. Knowing that I hurt her is almost too much to bear. The issue with the story is awful, but not taking her side was worse. 
The only thing I can do now is try to make it up to her.

The Pinnae Flower Epilogue
Masterlist
Patton-ly Perfect was filled with customers and, honestly, Roman loved it. So many people marvelling at the decor and the various pastries behind the counters.
Patton was currently out so Breena was managing the cash and the customers.
After Fairy Cakes and Fantasy Books went bankrupt Patton offered her the job here. Roman liked to joke that his and Logan’s frequent visits there were the only reason the old cafe stayed afloat and, now that they lived in Mayflower Town, the cafe’s main source of income was gone.
Along with Breena came the hundreds of books from her shelves which were now displayed outside her new house in a Free Little Library. But it wasn’t all that little.
Roman saw Virgil in his usual spot and walked over, draping his arms over his shoulders. “Hello, love.”
Even though Roman couldn’t see his face, he could sense the smile on his face. “I swear, Roman. If you ask one more time about the ending of PS, I might smack you across the head.”
Roman pouted and took a seat across from Virgil. “Aw, c’mon.”
Virgil tried to give Roman a glare but failed miserably. Instead, he ended up barking out a laugh. “I want it to be a surprise for everyone. Including you. Besides, have you forgotten what day today is?”
Roman pretended to be hurt by Virgil’s statement. “You think I would forget such an important day? A day that wouldn’t be possible without you?”
Virgil rolled his eyes, still grinning. “Shouldn’t you be setting up for that?”
“We’ve got it all drafted and set. It’s ready to go.” Roman said, waving his hand. “We’re doing a theory about Lewis.” He wiggled his eyebrows.
“Roman!” Logan’s voice called out from the doorway of Patton-ly Perfect. “Come here for a moment! Tell Virgil you won’t be long!”
Before Roman could open his mouth to ask, Virgil waved his hand. “Go on. Anyway, you know what they say: bros before h—“
“—That doesn’t count with us as you’re both male. Everyone’s my bro. Except you’re my boyfriend too.” Roman added in before striding over to where Logan was.
Logan was wearing a black button up and a blue tie with diagonal stripes. His hair looked recently brushed and he was nervously playing with his fingers.
“Looking sharp!” Roman commented as he neared Logan. “Looking very fine indeed.”
“I don’t know how you went on a first date without feeling nervous like this. I don’t get nervous often.” Logan muttered, pushing up his glasses.
Roman just patted Logan on the shoulder. “I was nervous. I’m just the better actor and was able to hide it. Anyway, it’s good that you’re feeling nervous. It means you actually like Patton.”
“What? I’ve always liked Patton and never felt this nervous in my entire life!” Logan said, fixing his sleeves.
Roman grabbed Logan’s wrists and forcefully pushed them down to his sides. “Talk to me. Maybe it’ll calm you down a bit.”
Logan nodded and coughed. “Very well I suppose. Did you hear about Jo?”
“Of course! Why wouldn’t I? Serves her right, to be honest. Karma is a bi—“
Logan rolled his eyes. “I just wish Virgil would have stepped forward.”
Roman shrugged. “Jo would have gotten what she deserved whether Virgil said something or not.”
“You know Virgil can’t stay hidden behind a pseudonym forever, right?” Logan suddenly said. “Jo figured it out. This is just the beginning.”
Roman bit his bottom lip. “Virgil and I have talked about this before too. Virgil said he’s been thinking about it long before Jo figured him out. He’s planning on how to break it to the fandom and press soon. He thinks maybe after Pinnae: Spelunca is released.”
“Good on him.” Logan nodded.
Roman smiled. “Alright, you look a lot less nervous! Now go get ‘em, Lo!” He exclaimed loudly and pushed Logan in the direction of Patton’s house.
When Roman could no longer see Logan ambling down the street, he made his way back inside the cafe to Virgil.
“Do you think the date will go okay?” Virgil asked as Roman slid into his seat. He didn’t look up from his screen.
Roman nodded, stealing part of a raspberry muffin Virgil had bought.
“I think everything will be okay.”

Pinnae: Spelunca
WARNING: SPOILERS FOR THE NEWEST PINNAE BOOK, PINNAE: SPELUNCA
Can I just say that Raz really outdid themself on this one? I mean, this book made me cry, it made me want to smack some characters, it made me laugh out loud.
I loved it so much. It might be my favourite out of the series, knocking Pinnae: The New Era down to number two.
I loved how it took us back in time to the timeline of Pinnae: Magus and Pinnae: Exsul where Arel and Parisa are on opposing sides of the upcoming war. It’s like, if PM and PE are on opposite sides of the spectrum, PS is the middle zone where both sides are right and both sides are wrong.
So many plot points have been solved thanks to this book and, boy, am I freaking out over them. They are just perfect and they make so much sense. Let’s go over four of the main ones.
Number 1. Why the dragons stole the pinnae flower. We always knew the dragons stole it from the previous books but never why. But now we know that it was to keep the fairies and sprites from starting a war. However, they obviously failed as we can see in PTNE. Case closed.
Number 2. The importance of the pinnae flower. Logan and I had always assumed this last book would be dark but not like this. The pinnae flower being made of the wings of fairies turned sprites? Totally uncalled for. I almost hated King Oberon in this. I was this close. Until it was revealed that ol’ buddy Oberon had no idea of the whole cut off wings thing and that it was his father who did everything and who cut off Queen Titania’s (then, Princess Titania’s) wings. Can I say that that chapter was absolutely devastating? Can I blame Queen Titania for kind of wanting the pinnae flower to see if she could ever reattach her wings? In any case, case closed.
Number 3. SIDNEY’S DEATH. Hallelujah! Sidney’s mysterious death is solved. I know that his death is controversial because it was on accident. Pinnies think the death was a cop out and that Sidney deserved a more grand death than the one given to him. Personally, though, his death is, however sad, is perfect. It’s just that Sidney could possibly still be alive if Kaida had just been less prideful and practiced aiming just a little more when she had the chance. Again, case closed.
Number 4. The cloak. Sidney’s darned cloak. The thing that split the fandom up since the very beginning of the series. What was beneath Sidney’s cloak? Was there even anything under there? Was Sidney just being dramatic and trying to look mysterious and cool? Well now, we’ve got our answer, folks. Wings. Yes, wings. Sidney the Sprite was actually Sidney the Fairy all along. The secret agent go-between between the fairies and the sprites and ultimately working for the dragons. His secret beneath the cloak is so simple yet so perfect. Again, no one expected it. But this one wasn’t controversial. And another case closed.
These were four of my favourite plot resolutions in this final instalment of the Pinnae series. I’m just gonna go cry in my bed for a month or so. What am I going to do now that the Pinnae series is officially finished and done? What am I to do when all the theories have been theorized and there are no more left? Just kidding. Logan and I will never run out of theories.
Also, can I just say that I would literally die protecting Aeni and her sunflower patch? Raise your hand if you’d like to start a Aeni protection squad.
And, until next time, take it easy guys, gals, and non-binary pals.
PEACE OUT!

50.
Tumblr media
Staring at my can of Sprite thinking, I mean I don’t know why I’m staring at this but I am. I’m just thinking, I don’t want to make the wrong decisions and I hate doing it because it can get me in some shit “are you done meditating?” Ethan questioned me, blowing out air shaking my head “so” getting up from my couch “you’re telling me the police want me to continue to do what I do without backlash?” I am so very confused “our connect was there Cassius with his boss, I was so scared but it went fine. He was expecting you and I said I wouldn’t ever gave out who he is. I think they know it’s you but I ain’t going to tell that but I still think it is weird, I thought I was going to be killed Cassius. I was walking into this dead end place and there was like five of them, I was like this is how it ends and yeah. Also Lloyd not on their radar” that is what I like to hear “is he still hiding out in New York?” I know where he is “he is yes, but we erm got word of a hit on you again” I should be used to that “who now? Who wants to kill me now” it’s not like I care, they try “well, Kyle knows. They have threatened to kill Jordan if you don’t meet them, it’s not good. A gang in Miami” raising an eyebrow “I am not hurting anyone there?” I am confused “Clover club, apparently this nigga knows people. I am not sure if he is testing you but yeah, put a hit out on you without even asking. I mean we are venturing out” he got a point we are “I know but then it’s more blood shed, I mean if they want to kill Jordan they can. That ain’t nothing to me, I just want Sofia and Cartier safe and my family in Brooklyn. So I am going to fly back to Brooklyn, I need to be there. If I am here, and whoever this nigga is that apparently knows people they will try and link me to Sofia and Cartier. So I need to be out of the equation, who is it? Fuck, I don’t know anybody in Miami Ethan, the fuck” I guess we are stepping into their territory “we need to do what we did here, show them who they fucking with. I am willing to scout it out and get them” I need to think on this.
Chewing on my bottom lip, I have been thinking on this long now “ok so, I am going back to Brooklyn. I hate when new niggas bug out, I don’t know these people so I need to move clever, being here is no good to me or my family. Brooklyn I have eyes on every corner, I am free here I guess. So I will go back, we take it from there” a knocking on my apartment door, Ethan shot up “relax” I said to him laughing “it’s ok, you jumpy as shit” getting up from the couch “can’t relax boss, I hate new niggas too. We got to move good boss, some of these niggas don’t like you so can turn on you, you get what I mean? I don’t want that for you boss” nodding my head as I made my way to my door “I think we will be good Ethan, I know it” I just need to plan good, dragging open the door “hey! It’s the big headed twins” Sofia laughed shaking her head at me “get lost, seeing as you was too busy to come. I come to you” opening the door wider so she can push the stroller inside “yeah, sorry about that” I told Sofia to bring him here, I had Ethan here and I am trying to sort this issue out, it’s a small issue I would say. Letting the door close “it’s ok” Sofia walked into me and actually hugged me first “wow, we learning. I’ve been busy for once” hugging Sofia close “I know you have been, it’s not a problem though. I have been missing your random visits, also Cartier is so moody for no damn reason” moving back from the hug “oh great, is he asleep now?” walking around the stroller looking down inside, he is asleep “he is now yes but he was being so whiney” waving Sofia over “come in, come in” it’s only Ethan here.
Rubbing my chin smiling “I ain’t feeling that you’re going to that building again, you hear this. So this new nigga called Jordan, about two week ago. I went to see Sofia and he was acting smug and made a jibe at me and was like oh Sofia the lunch was nice, trying to get me mad, I had Cartier so I was like nah, I ain’t about to kick off so let him go. Sofia telling me he likes her and always try to get at her” Ethan snorted laughing “he don’t know you at all, he is a dead man walking. You a dickhead” I chuckled “exactly but what can I say, I need to be good. I promised Sofia” I pointed at her “for you, I told you. Don’t give me that face, any sign of shit Sofia I will be there. My phone will be right here” grabbing my phone from my pocket “right here” placing it over my heart “here” Sofia smirked looking down at her lap “I will kill him, I don’t care” Ethan said “see we have a volunteer” Sofia shook her head at us both “no thank you boys, I am going in today and I will let you know, but I told you Cassius I can handle it, and I will” I do trust her, I don’t trust other men. Clearing my throat “what you doing later?” leaning forward on the couch “me?” Sofia pointed at herself “yes, who else” Sofia shrugged “nothing really, why?” I paused thinking “erm, you want to meet up for some food. Me and you, Amira won’t mind looking after him” Sofia laughed “a date?” pulling a face at her “who said date? I didn’t” she shook her head laughing “that is a date, Ethan tell him it’s a date” eye-balling Ethan “erm” he looked at me “it’s a meal” Ethan knows “you saying that because you scared but I am not, it’s a date. Until you can say it, I am busy” I scoffed “why you playing hard to get” she really likes this date shit.
With Sofia saying Cartier is moody I am happy he is asleep, I don’t want to deal with his moody self right now “so you should have everything, you got the stroller here so if you decide to go and do something you got something, like last time” I chuckled, I won’t be venturing out again after last time, see what happened “miss you already” she pressed a kiss to Cartier’ cheek “bye Ethan” Sofia waved at him, stuffing my hands in my pockets as I walked behind Sofia “walking me out now” nodding my head like she can see me “I am yes” her booty looking cute “he should be ok though Cassius, don’t think he won’t be. If he isn’t then call me” she dragged open the door “I will, so are you free for food” holding the door for her as she stepped out “uhmmm” stepping out of my apartment “uhmmm what? Who says no to food?” she shrugged “I think I may actually be busy” looking at Sofia confused “don’t lie to me” she is a liar “with my son I will be” I scoffed “right, ok. Sofia, will you go on a date with me? Happy” Sofia giggled “was that hard? I hate you, you’re so hard headed for nothing, and suddenly I am not busy, wow” rubbing my chest laughing “you funny” shaking my head “thank you though, you’re a good man and father. To look after Cartier” Sofia said “don’t be, this is what fathers do right” Sofia held her arms out to me as she walked over to me, she wrapped her arms around my waist as I placed my hands over cheeks “I have missed you” lowering my head slowly “same” pressing a kiss to her lips “what time?” she said as I moved back “erm about six ok?” moving my hands back “ok, well I will try and dress to impress” Sofia moved back “you always do, have a good day” moving back into my apartment “oh actually, pick me up from the place. I won’t take the car, you drive it. I will take a cab, pick me up at four. We can do something beforehand” Sofia dug into her bag “erm if you want, but I got my own car?” watching her find the key “but I don’t want to leave the car there, just pick me up” nodding my head “see you then” taking the key from Sofia and continued to walk back into my apartment “you going out?” I jumped at Ethan “why are you sneaking up on me?” closing the door behind me “I am not, just was asking. We should be lowkey” he is right “I need to tell Sofia, I just need to break it to her slowly that I will be you know. Gone for a while, Ethan bro. You need to relax, I know things like this can be hot up. I am forever getting a hit out on me, what is new. Just play it cool” he is worried for nothing, I mean I get why but he needs to calm down.
Tumblr media
I am excited he said date, I am trying to be strict with him. I want him to take me out, I think it’s cute and he will get there. I am just glad Cassius listened to me with things, we on good vibes. I feel him, he is on a good vibe and I love it, I just love that my son has a father. I don’t personally know how it feels to have one because I never had it, so I can only assume. It just gets me so emotional and happy to see it, to see how much he loves Cartier but I need to get on work mode right now. Holding my Macbook in hand, I didn’t bother to bring my tablet, I just bought my laptop. With Cassius wanting to go out, I just didn’t want to look too overdone so I am wearing a denim skirt, denim shirt, nude heels and I just feel like I am going to fight a nigga, I have my hair up with a cap. Since what Jordan did to Cassius I ain’t seen him, this will probably be the first time after that situation. I am pissed off, he made out something was more when it was not, he made Cassius insecure over a slime ball, what a bastard “I always say it is an event seeing you, I got you a latte waiting. I seen the sketches” hugging Gio “you love it when I come, I love it when I do too. I get to see you” I chuckled “and you look beautiful as ever, close your mouth and get working” he said to someone, I just laughed and followed behind him to his office.
Gio and I haven’t spoke on shit about work but talk shit “so you telling me you met a man and slept with him the first night?” Gio nodded his head “I could never” I stopped myself I “tell a lie Gio” I am such a liar “tell me more girl!?” I am a real ass liar “I slept with Cassius in the club the first time, I mean we didn’t really speak. Ok this sounds so bad, so I was dating his brother, Cassius brother I was with him and Cassius just came out from being locked up. Cassius brother wasn’t good to me and I found out from Cassius that he was fucking my cousin Celine, so I fucked his brother in the disabled toilets at the club and the rest is history” Gio gasped “oh my god!!! That is hilarious, did you ride him?” nodding my head “it sounds so bad, it really does but I was so angry. He was treating me like shit but fucking my cousin? I don’t think so, I ain’t a hoe, I am not the type to be fucking on every nigga but I was like fuck it and let go and I did, but with Cassius I want him forever. It sucks we never met before, sucks I guess” Gio cooed out “it’s always like that, before I met my man I was a whore. And like you said, why couldn’t I find you before? It’s like god covers them so we don’t see them until god is ready, we need to go out actually. One time, I am not a hoe anymore, well maybe I am” he is a liar, I bet his ass is “I feel like your man got big dick energy, am I right?” I laughed out “he would be livid talking to you about this but he do” Cassius would hate me saying this to another man.
Gio groaned out “do we have to work, I mean I have seen the sketches I am about bored, we got time girl. Do you think you would ever be able to travel with me? Like ever” Gio asked “erm, I don’t know. I am not sure if I want to be away from my son that long, but I know Cassius would do it. He is so good with him” I hope Gio doesn’t ask “ok, I mean not now. You’re still a new mom” thank god he is not asking for now “meeting without me” I am shocked he took so long, fixing my top as I sat up “you don’t really need to be here Jordan” I think Gio and I both know why he is here “I like to know future plans” he is so annoying “there is really no plans Jordan” Gio doesn’t want him in this room “your ex, seemed annoyed, I didn’t mean to walk off. I was busy” looking over at Jordan “rush to nowhere? I mean you left work early over what again?” he left early for no reason “I had places to go” letting out an oh “you didn’t though did you? You wanted to walk me out, acting like a gentleman, you know what Jordan. If I wanted you I would say it but I don’t, you’re actually not that nice and way too ugly for my liking, I need a man like Gio said, a guy that has big dick energy and you don’t have it. You’re all muscle, probably on steroids and we know that is small dick energy right there. My ex may be not be full of muscle but he has a big dick, and count yourself lucky he didn’t break your nose, it’s me why he didn’t. Don’t ever touch me again, because the next time you do you won’t have hands, and I put that on my son. You ain’t on my level nigga, trust me! I am above you” turning my head, I don’t want to know his reaction “oh my god” Gio said in a whisper, he pissed me off. First he upset Cassius and then he touched me “you a bitch” is the only thing he said.
Looking down at my watch “I need to go, but it’s been a great catch up” Gio got up from his seat “It’s ok but I am sad Jordan been a dick to you, why didn’t you say he touched you?” waving him off “it’s fine honestly but I will email you the end results, I will probably not come here for a while” I laughed pulling my skirt down “don’t say that, give me some love. As soon I met you I loved you” hugging Gio “you are my second gay friend, I love it” who doesn’t like gay friends “gay friends are the best friends, you want me to walk you?” shaking my head “what for? What he going to do, fuck him” picking my bag up from the floor “you do you girl, have a good night with your man huh” smiling at him “I will try, bye” opening the office door, I don’t need Gio to be walking me. The fuck is Jordan going to do, he is a pussy ass, he shouldn’t have done what he did. Maybe if he was less egoistical then he may be nice but he really isn’t, fuck him.
Let me find out Cassius is not here, I won’t be amused. I do feel like Jordan is giving me stalker vibes somewhat, he is walking out for what but I don’t care “thank you” I said to the lady holding the door for me, I didn’t bother to hold it open for him. Looking around the area and then seeing my white car, he is here, I know I shouldn’t doubt him. My smile grew watching him stood outside the car smoking, he looks so good “till next time” Jordan said behind me “bye bitch” I said walking towards Cassius, he looked up seeing me and his smile grew but then kind of changed, I know he saw him but it’s not about him at all. I did a little run in my heels for Cassius “you came” wrapping my arm around Cassius neck “of course I would, on time too” Cassius hugged me “feeling Cassius kiss my cheek so I moved my head back and kissed his lips “you look bomb but you can see your chest, close it” moving my arm back “don’t worry about it, it’s for you” Placing my hand just under his chin and kissed his lips again “what are we going on?” I like to annoy him “food?” He shrugged “you not answering it right, this is why I am single” rubbing his chin hair “what? Man, that is rude” l licking my lips “so say it” i grinned “a date” he said through gritted teeth “was that hard? You’re so cute” getting on my tiptoes and kissing his lips again “I thought I was good looking?” Walking around the car “that too” smiling from ear to ear.

King’s Knight Service Termination + Content Map Up to End-Date
Tumblr media
So as you may have heard, the spin-off game "King's Knight: Wrath of the Dark Dragon" or to most of us just "King's Knight" is being officially terminated by Square-Enix. This is saddening to hear as many of us really enjoyed the game, even if it did have a tendency to crash or straight up not work for some, it seemed that the development team behind it were genuinely passionate about the project and wanted everyone to enjoy the work they put out to its fullest. Below I've decided to put together a bit of write-up of relevant information alongside some personal thoughts in regards to this service termination.
Tumblr media
Official Date & Time of Service Termination
All Prime Regalite (Premium Currency) sales have been removed from the game, and the official date and time of service termination will be 26th June 01:00 (GMT) and 25th June 18:00 (PST) respectively. As some of you may know, this was also the fate of another FFXV spin-off game "Justice Monsters V" which was released on 30th August 2016 and officially ended services on 27th March 2017 meaning it only lasted just shy of 7 months before termination (Although the app itself is still available to download on both iOS and Android, cannot say how the compatability with current OS versions is however). King's Knight was officially released 13th September 2017, and with the final day of service being 26th June 2018, it lasted a bit over 9 months.
Tumblr media
Free stamps (basically the game's emotes) have been added to all player's stamp collections to farewell the game and its players. You do not have to do anything to actually obtain these, they've been automatically added to the list of stamps and all you have to do it equip them into your active stamps list (max of 5) to use them.
Tumblr media
FFXV Collaboration Event Exchange Available Again!
If you played the game during the FFXV Collaboration Event, but forgot to exchange your points for your rewards before the deadline, then the exchange is back and will be up until the service for King's Knight officially ends! Note: This is only a return of the exchange and not the points being rewarded again, you can only use the exchange if you already had points you attained during the run of the event. Prizes have also not been reset, so that means if you already got all your codes then you won't be eligible for anymore. It's really only a noteworthy thing if you picked up the game for those particular prizes, but completely forgot to exchange them in the allotted time- you have 3 months to get your codes from now pretty much. If you completely missed the event and have no fellowship points, then it looks like you're out of luck unfortunately.
The wording in this particular sentence:
Furthermore, BBS updates will continue to be made for Event Accessory Exchanges
Might confuse some people, so just in case any of you were under the perception that this means we're getting more BBS banter, then let me inform you that: this is not the case. It just means that anyone who had not previously unlocked the banter will be able to unlock it if they trade their fellowship points in for any of the FFXV Collaboration Event accessories. There is no new banter or DMs from the bros (sad times) and there probably never will be, at least not in King's Knight.
Primer For Rest of This Post
They tended to do events in a pattern, 1 that started in the middle of the month which spanned a fortnight (14 days) that would reward players with 1 free 5-Star character (unique to the event) and a matching signature weapon which you could get from the relevant event exchange (also unique to the event) that both required event-specific drops to upgrade, there were always 3 tiers of these event-specific drops and they were essentially "Common, Uncommon, Rare" with each succeeding tier dropping in smaller amounts than the last. If you didn't farm all the drops to fully upgrade your free character and weapons before the event ended and the missions were removed, then you were basically stuck with a character that can't be fully upgraded, ever. These events also tended to come with time-limited characters and weapons which you could have a chance at obtaining via the "spin" feature using Regalite (basically gacha pulls).
The second event in the pattern was the end-of-month events which ran for a month (28 days), these events basically told the story of a batch of new characters that would be permanently added to the summoning pool, however you did not get a free character or weapon from participating in the event. These events had 1 event-specific drop, which could be traded in for accessories and resources to help you in other areas of the game.
Both types of events rewarded large amounts of free regalite (usually up to 300 regalite per event) and on top of that there were also event dailies you could run to get some extra regalite, as well as additional event-specific goals which you could also achieve for additional free regalite. For reference: 1 Character Summon Cost 25 Regalite, 10+1 Character Summons Costs 250 Regalite (You get 1 free if you do the 10 at once pull), 1 Weapon Summon Cost 15 Regalite, 10 Weapon Summons Cost 150 Regalite (Unlike with characters, you didn't get a free one from doing the 10 at once pull). There were also once-daily Prime Regalite (Regalite bought with real money) spins: 10 Prime Regalite for 1 Character, 100 Prime Regalite for 11 Characters (+1 for the 10 at a time pull once again), 5 Prime Regalite for 1 Weapon, 50 Prime Regalite for 10 Weapons (Again no extra for pulling 10) there were varying bonuses to Prime Regalite spins (it varied between events and particular pull banners), the bonuses inlcuded: 4-Star pulls guaranteed to be from newest batch or 4-Star guaranteed in 10-pulls, there may well be some other bonuses that I never saw (I didn't play the game for like a month) but those are the 2 I'm familiar with.
Each individual mission in an event gave at least 4 regalite each (if each respective goal was achieved) upon your first completion, the same applied to multiplayer variants of events (which came in 2 difficulties: Veteran and Master), the goals tended to be very easy stuff like "Open All Treasure Chests" or "Complete Mission with a [Character Class] in your Party"

Content Map - March
Labyrinth of Chaos
So, it looks like this will be the last character debut event before they start winding things down. Which saddens me, greatly, as I really liked the events where you got free characters, not only because "Hooray, free shit!" but because it gave me an actual goal in the game, and being really into grindy games, I really enjoyed grinding those events into the wee hours of the morning when I was totally meant to be asleep but was instead trying to farm enough resources to max out that new event weapon...
Tumblr media
As mentioned previously, the 28-day long events came with new characters and weapons that were permanently added to the summoning pool
Tumblr media
Final Boss Challenge
Boss Challenges (or "Weekend Boss Challenge") were boss-fight-only missions released every weekend to challenge the player-base to see who could get the best score, you could get rewards based on your overall rank on the scoreboards, you typically got some exchangeable items and some event-specific items from whatever event was running at the time.
It looks like the final one is going to be against Tolfidan himself (the infamous "Dark Dragon", who isn't really that dark considering he's fire-aspected...and bright red in colour.), which I'm quite sure is one they actually already did, but there isn't a whole lot of detail given here, so we'll see how different it actually is when it comes around
Aedin's Workshop
This was basically a place where you could got to exchange boss challenge rewards for better rewards...which were then used to exchange for weapons of your choice! Event accessories are also amongst the list of things you can exchange for, as well as experience tomes, and globus/crystals for character/weapon upgrading!

8-Bit Quest Redux
They've had this previously, but they removed it (I'm not sure if it was time limited or they just removed it for other reasons), not entirely sure if this is going to be a 1 mission type dealy or a series of missions, I think the original mission was only 1 really easy mission with classic sprites and chiptune music.
Past Event Redux
You know how I mentioned those even-specific and unique characters before, the ones that you could only upgrade via event-specific items otherwise you were stuck with a unupgradable character forever? Well, this is basically your last chance to remedy that before the service for the game ends, if you didn't finish farming and upgrading your event-unique characters, then you'll have one last chance at it before service ends!
Not sure if this also means you can get the characters again if you missed out on them, I'm going to guess you will be able to because they're also resetting the exchanges for the respective events so we'll be able to exchange for event-unique weapons and stuff again. Pretty much: get ALL THE THINGS before this shit shuts down.

The Story Finale
Not much to say about this, as not much is given, but it sounds like there will be a conclusions to the game's story!
Mega-Spins!
You know those time-limited characters/weapons I mentioned before? They're bringing them all back in the mega-spin!..at least that's what I'm kind of assuming, because otherwise it's just a regular spin with all characters that were permanently put into the pool...Either way: OBTAIN ALL THE THINGS.
Finale Bonus
Sweet jeebus, 125 regalite every day until service ends...that means you'll be able to do a 10+1 character pull every other day, that's a lot of regalite.
All Daily Quests Available
These were basically rotating quests (each tied to a specific day of the week) where you could farm for a specific aspect of drops that you needed to upgrade characters and weapons, there was also one of Zell (the in-game world's currency), all of the quests being available at once means you won't have to wait for the right day to farm that one resource you need!
In Conclusion
I said it at the start, and I'll say it again at the end here: This is sad news. I'm currently wondering whether or not anything can be done to save this game, mayhaps crowdfunding or something to help the devs buy all the games rights Hitman-style? That being said, King's Knight was a Square-Enix property much older than Hitman was, it was originally an NES title released in Japan in 1986 and North America in 1989 back when Square was still its own separate company. From what I've heard it was a decently popular title in Japan, but not so much in North America, so acquiring all the rights would not be quite the same as it was for the Hitman series. That all being said, I'm not even sure there would be enough interest, especially enough monetary interest to successfully crowdfund such a thing.
The studio who worked on the game "Fire Flame Hearts" (would help if I remembered the name properly) is not a company I've been able to find any further information on I take that back, if I'd actually looked for the ACTUAL company name then I would have found this: Flame Hearts is a Subsidiary of DIGITAL Hearts Co., Ltd., also their website (in Japanese) the only reason I even know that name is because it's in the pre-roll credits when you load up the game. By the sounds of it, they're a bit of an indie studio though, a pretty small team of developers who had been chosen for this project. They did some livestreams, although I never caught any of them, and they actual devs behind the game seem like genuinely passionate people who just want to make games and content for people to enjoy. I wonder what they'll do after the game officially closes down. Either way, it seems that they've taken this news of their game being cut as a signal to "GIVE EVERYONE ALL THE THINGS FOR FREEEEE!", which is exactly what they're doing with the 125 free regalite a day and all this other content before services end. They had plans for a "hardmode" for the campaign, but that never came to fruition, the last we heard of it was in the New Years "Update Map" they posted back in January.
Well...Whatever happens next, I wish the team at "Flame Hearts" and anyone else who were involved in the development and support of this game the best, and hope that they can move on to bigger and better things. I hope to hear of games from some of these people a few years down the line, because they seem like some pretty swell people.
I have no idea why I decided I needed to basically write an article for this bloody game...but I guess I just kinda realized how attached I actually am to it, it kinda became a small part of my life, and now I have to bid farewell to it...So childish part of me really hopes that we can possibly save it, but the fan-base it probably not nearly big enough for it.
If you've never heard of this game, or have heard of it but never got around to trying it then: DO IT NOW you have 3 months before you won't be able to play anymore because they'll take the servers down, at the very least pick it up to see what could have been (if it doesn't horribly crash for you, I've heard that happens with some people, I've been lucky) and maybe feel compelled enough by what you experience to go write to Square-Enix about it, or if you have a negative experience, then...idk maybe you can still write to Square-Enix about it, or make some kind of rant post like I would :P But in my opinion: The game is still worth checking out, even if services are going to be ending, don't you at least want to know what the gameplay was like for yourself?
Anywho, I'll finish off with some links to stuff: King's Knight has it's own Official Twitter Page that's separate from Square-Enix's and FFXV's, if you have or use Twitter then hop over there and send them your best wishes. On the flipside there's the Official FFXV Twitter where this news was first broken, and of course the Offical Square-Enix Twitter if you want to go and ask them "Y U DO DIS?!"
That about covers everything...If anyone has any kind of questions I guess I'll try my best to facilitate answers? I'm just a gamer who came to the realization that I was more attached to this game than I initially thought though, I'm not in anyway actually affiliated with King's Knight or anything, so...ye...Still hit me up if you have questions about the game (like if you're picking it up to give it a try, but are confused and stuck, then gimme a shout and I'll see if I can help), okay, cheers for reading, byeeee!
