#and wow it's the 10th one already

[themidnightpanda]

Ever since the last time AO3 was down I've been hyper-aware of how many AO3 tabs I have open on my phone at any time. I uh. I think I have a problem.

[iwaasfairy]

yall know what fucking day it is?????

[sejjiplinth]

i need to talk about treech and lamina’s relationship in the movie because oh my god???

the scene right before the bombing where coral recruits treech into her alliance… the fact that he thinks she’s talking to both him AND lamina when she says “hey, lumberjack!” (😭) and when he accepts, he hesitantly looks back at her, he almost doesn’t leave!!!! but he does. and lamina gasps and starts to tear up. it makes me think he’d already told her they would stay together during the games <\3

coral refers to lamina as his “friend from home” when she tells him to go watch the beam she’d been on, i can’t help but assume they’d stayed close to one another in the zoo. (and of course i do personally think they were friends back in district seven, either that or they were childhood friends that met again in the worse way possible.)

when coral and mizzen finally attack lamina, coral stabs her in the back. she looks at the blood on her hand, but the first person she looks at is treech. you can sense how angry she is there, he’d betrayed her. the camera pans to him and he’s wide-eyed, literally about to back away from the scene. then when she actually dies, it shows him slowly moving back in, lingering over her body. and he’s the last one to rejoin the group once they started to chase after lucy gray. the guilt is so strong!

(hiroki was absolutely amazing btw. so was irene!!! i wish they had more screentime because wow.)

i didn’t know it was possible, but they made the 10th games even more devastating in the movie. but i loved that they added this dynamic. really emphasizes that they were all just scared kids who wanted to latch onto each other and go home :(

Twice’s 10th member has a solo debut

A/N: I actually got another ask on Tumblr, yaaaaay! :)

The request: Can you do something like the 10th member getting a solo and twice's reaction to her being all grown up? I imagine they'd be the type to be so motherly and shocked to see a different side of her.😂 but at the end of the day she's still their lil baby!

PS: Tysm for everyone that reads what I write, I hope I can bring a smile to your faces every time I post! I'd like to thank whoever sent me this idea 'cause I loved to write it <3 

__________________________________________________________

It's been a long time since TWICE debuted and they couldn't be happier, after many requests their dear maknae got a chance to become a soloist. What they never expected was that she would be doing such a different concept from the one the group had. 

As Y/N walked past the trainees, she finally understood how her unnies felt when they knew they'd perform alone. It was a mix of emotions she couldn't grasp how to deal with, after running along the corridors she finally found the waiting room where the staff and managers were all at. 

Y/N: I'm sorry, I got lost *bowing*

Manager oppa: Hahahah, it's okay kid. Did you forget the way here?

Y/N: Yes... Jihyo unnie always guides me here and Sana unnie is always holding my hand so *shrugs*

Manager oppa: At least you got here safe and sound!

Y/N: Thank you for waiting and my apologies again. *bowing*

Meanwhile... her sisters were at the dorm preparing for the surprise they didn't tell their youngest. Even if they had a whole day of schedules they'd cancel it to support their maknae altogether. Also, they're incredibly curious about the title of the album, regardless of the days they spend begging for a sneak peek, Y/N stood her ground and denied showing anything till the day she'd be debuting, which is today!

Sana: I can't wait to see what our baby is gonna sing!!

Nayeon: She's amazing, look at this young pic of her. I can't believe she grew up so much!

Jihyo: She will always be our maknae, even when she's 60.

Jeongyeon: That's true, I can only imagine how much more endearing she can get!

Mina: Let's hurry, Manager oppa already send the signal (찌릿 찌릿 찌릿 찌릿)

Dahyun: It's not gonna be long till she gets on stage, we need to get there asap

Tzuyu: It's not her wedding unnies, we must leave now

Momo: Fineee, come on girls!

Chaeyoung: Finally!

Momo: I heard that -_-

Jihyo: Me too, Son Chaeyoung.

Chaeyoung: Sorry unnie.

Jihyo: That's more like it...

After some -years- minutes, they're finally heading to the venue. The traffic was horrible but they got there on time (How? I guess we'll never know)

Sprinting through the halls they noticed their maknae a mile away, she was already on stage getting ready to record, not a single thought on her mind besides "You can do it, if the unnies did it, you can too" and because of that she failed to take note of her unnies eyeing her outfit and the concept of the stage (let's imagine she's the singer of Gotta Go by Chungha) and talking quietly with each other.

Mina: I mean- look at the aesthetic, it seems like she's gonna do something less cute than our songs.

Chaeyoung: Yeahhh, she's gonna rock the stage anyway ✨

Nayeon: There wasn't another option hon, she's our child.

At this moment, Y/N starts walking around the stage to check all aspects of the performance before she begins. Her members can see the change in her eyes and the confidence she carries. Her outfit is way more revealing than anything they've ever seen her use and the most surprising is how different she looks with makeup on, normally she goes for a natural look so spotting something like that makes them realize how grown up their maknae is, even if they refuse to believe it every single day. Sana: Wow, look! It's like a catwalk!

Momo: Ngl, she's looking hot.

Jihyo: HEY. I wanna oppose 'cause it's my kid we're talking about but yeah... I agree.

The youngest goes to her place and starts singing like there's no tomorrow, her members can only stare without saying a word, baffled doesn't even cover how they feel. When it gets to the chorus, her dance makes Momo think back to all the personal classes she gave the maknae when they were only a year after debuting. Jihyo starts to reflect on how much the girl has grown, from a child that followed her around to the woman that's on the stage belting and grooving to the rhythm of the song they could never see their kid doing. With tears in her eyes, Nayeon just seems to be perplexed by the changes between on-stage and off-stage Y/N, the innocent doe eyes she does when she wants some candy, the stumps when she gets frustrated about something she didn't get, the completely full of blush face she gets when her unnies annoy and fool around with her and everything else, disappeared, and TWICE didn't see it coming, they knew Y/N had already ended her teenage years however, seeing up close how adult, like she's by herself, is a shock.

Chaeyoung: Bro... Are you seeing what I'm seeing?

Dahyun: Yeah bro, she doesn't even seem like our maknae.

Sana: Where did my baby go??

Mina: Our honey seems so professional up there, I can't even explain how proud I feel.

Jeongyeon: Who let her do that? JYP didn't give us a warning!

Jihyo: A warning would be good... 

Chaeyoung: Hell yeah.

Nayeon: Language.

Dahyun: Did you actually say that? I'm the only one who heard it??

Tzuyu: I did too, made her more of a grandma than we thought. 

Nayeon: WHAT?

Sana: Shhhh, we're trying to listen to our baby singing. 

Momo: Yeah grandma, let us appreciate our maknae.

Nayeon: Fine. I'm gonna let it slide just for our maknae. 

When Y/N did some waves they couldn't help but want to close their eyes and think "This is a child, our child" but at the end of the day they understood how they should never judge the youngest for her solo, she wasn't that kid that entered the group and made their hearts melt from how much of a child she was, playing with her dolls from time to time, wanting to go to the park with her sisters, dancing to stupid songs just because. She still made them swoon in a blink of an eye but she grew up and they had to recognize that they did help on providing to create an incredible human being, their Y/N, their inspiration to be better every day.

After her stage, Y/N brighten up immediately when she saw her unnies. Running like the kid they remember each second they breathe, and that's when they started thinking the same thing: 

We love our dear maknae.

A/N: I apologise for any errors, English is not my first language. Pls, let me know if there's something wrong, ty for reading <3

Bake Sale

Due to Girl Scout season, (and me buying boxes) I just got an idea, so here yall go! (03. 16. 2023)

'So... hot'

(Name) could only think about how HOT Ramshackle was right now. Thanks to that useless crow of a man, Ramshackle was the only dorm without an AC unit or any type of fan. It's the middle of summer vacation and there is no airflow through the dorm.

"(Name) pleassseee do something about this heat, I think Grim is about to die".

"Wow, I bet you regret skipping Crewl's classes now" chuckled Deuce.

"We are both in summer school, shut up Deuce".

All the mirrors going into the dorms were locked up tight for the summer, leaving all the students who needed to catch up stay in Ramshackle, which was not alot of students.

"Listen guys, if I had the money I would totally buy a unit but I have no money or a job right now".

"UGH" Ace yelled, "why can we just go to the beach or sneak into Savanaclaw's pool!". Ace marched towards the windows and began opening all the ones in the living room.

"Because what teacher will gives us a pass to go relax when you three are supposed to being doing your homework and classwork you missed!". (Name) was getting overwhelmed, they knew they should've taken Leona's or Malleus's offer on staying with either of them during summer break.

"(Nammmmmmeeeeee)" Grim cried, "please do something about this heat", Grim fell to the floor.

"Fine, let me figure something out".

"Yay!!" The three cried.

<>

(Name) walked out the campus kitchen, carrying two buckets of ice with them back to Ramshackle.

'Shit'

The ice was already melting.

'How the hell are we going to live in a magical world and not have any ice magic or spells?'.

As they made their way inside the Dorm they started opening windows, turning on the fans to on the highest settings, on cheap fan on its back with the bucket of ice holding its weight.

'Finally'. (Name) took in the cold breeze that filled the room. Grim came running down the hall putting his fatass in front of the semi broken fan. "Ahhhhhhh finally! Took you way to long henchman".

(Name) rolled their eyes, "Now that's done, I think I'm going to get a sweet treat." The word 'treat' summoned all three braincells.

"What are you gettin".

"Can I have soommme?".

"Can I help?".

'Jesus Christ' (Name) sighed, "I was feeling nostalgic and wanted to bake...."

Ace and Grimm groaned, throwing themselves back onto the "cold" ground.

Deuce looked confused, "I'm sorry perfect, why are you going to bake when it's-"

"Fucking thousands degrees out-" Ace interrupted.

Deuce glared.

"You guys don't have to help with anything, I was kinda of planning on doing this for myself...". (Name) walked away towards the kitchen.

"Nonono, I'll help you perfect!!" Deuce ran after (Name).

(Name) opened the cupboard, 'thin mints orrrrrrrrrr, hmm, wait samoas?'.

(Name) looked over at Deuce, "Deuce, one or two?".

"Um one?"

"Thin mints it is".

♡

Aced let out a moan.

"Damn buddy that's like your 10th one...".

Ace had tears in his eyes,"it's.. so... good".

(Name) gave the three a look; hunched over the counter, all groaning in happiness.

"Are these from your world perfect?".

(Name) nodded, "Yeah, there's actually-".

"Don't care make more!".

"Hench man please!"

(Name) looked at Ace and Grimm in shocked, "you know a simple please would do... also Grimm can you even have chocolate?".

Ace rolled his eyes, "the little shit ate rocks for the past year-". His comment made Duece hit him on the back of the head.

"Anyways, Perfect, do you think we can take some to lunch tomorrow?".

"Sure, I'll probably be baking all tomorrow... nothing else to do".

☆

"Oi oi crabby~ whatcha got there?".

Instinctively Ace put the brown lunch bag towards his chest, "none of your-"

"HEYYY!!". Grimm screeched

"Sh sh baby seal, let me just borrow your bag."

Grimm beated his paws on Floyd's stomach, "No! You can't have that! (Name) made those specially for me!!" He whined.

"Oh~ Shrimy made these?". Floyd popped a cookie in his mouth.

The world stopped for a minute, Floyd giving the three a lead stare. "Uh, you good bro?". Ace went to put his hand on Floyd's shoulder only to be bitten by said eel.

"FUCK HE BIT MY SHIT".

Floyd stole the bag of cookies and made a dash for the door.

"MY TREATS!!" Grimm wailed.

♤

(Name) hummed as they baked their third round of cookies, the last batch being Samoas now they were working on peanut butter. 'I guess always baking with Trey was worth the lessons-'

Que their front door being broken in with two distressed students.

"PERFECT HELP I NEED STERILIZATION STAT-"

"HENCHMAN! I NEED NEW COOKIES! THAT DISGUSTING EEL STOLE MY COOKIES!".

'There goes my peaceful afternoon'.

(Name) grabbed the first aid kit to help Ace, letting the two whine and nag about their day.

Grim plopped himself on (Name)'s lap, "So.... can you give us more cookies?".

"Sure, just don't let anyone take them this time."

♡

The next day at lunch was... eventful...

"ILL TAKE A BAG FOR $10!".

"NO! $50!".

"MAKE IT $90!".

It was like watching a pack of hyenas swarm a prey, three pairs of eyes watched from a distance.

"So... it's just cookies?". Azul observed the growing hysteria with a careful eye.

Jade snickered, "I think it's more than cookies sir~"

Azul grabbed a cookie from Floyd's bag, observing before taking a nibble.

Jade laughed, "so? What's the verdict-".

"Schedule a meeting with the perfect."

☆

"FLOYD PUT ME DOWN!!". (Name) was hunched over Floyd's shoulder.

Azul took a deep breath, "Floyd put the perfect down-".

CRASH

Azul felt a migraine forming, rubbing his temples. "So... perfect". Azul forced a smile.

"I'm not making a dea-".

"Listen! What about a business partnership? With your cookies-".

"No."

"There will be money, 50/50".

"I already-"

"And! I'll ask threaten the headmaster to give your.... Ramshackle upgrades".

♧

'It's so much hotter than the inside of Ramshackle'. (Name) was miserable, sitting at a stand in Port Town trying to sell cookies, THEIR cookies. Luckily, that ocean breeze was... somewhat frequent.

"Hggnnngg Henchman I'm bored.... let's dip".

(Name) rolled their eyes, "You got us into this mess...".

"Ha! How was I supposed to know Azul was also in summer school!". Grim threw himself under the table.

"How's business perfect?~".

"Shrimpy~!".

(Name) gave Jade a glare, "I'm miserable - it's too hot for this shit."

Floyd blew a raspberry, "Well! We have something to cheer you up-"

"A gun?"

Grim came up from the table, "AH! It's me!".

(Name) looked at the two confused, "a cardboard cut out of Grim?".

The cutout was... interesting, depicting Grim in a hat and... boots.

'Is there a puss and-'

Jade smiled softly, "Azul said it could help drive in business having a mascot~".

4/13/2024 I kinda gave up towards the end... this has been sitting in drafts for a year.... I cant figure out how to end this but Perfect gets a pool in Ramshackle in my head so :)

Slow, slow hands

Like sweat dripping down our dirty laundry

No, no chance

That I'm leaving here without you on me

- Slow Hands by Niall Horan

You couldn't wait to get your sore feet out of those heels that had been tormenting your every step since around lunch, they looked absolutely fantastic, though. Trying to shift your weight away from the thin stiletto connecting your foot with the floor underneath, you stepped into the elevator and pressed for the 10th floor, holding your purse tight to your body.

The men standing right next to you with his hands shoved into his pockets didn't go without you noticing. Shiny brown hair that reached his shoulders, the upper part neatly tied into a small bun to not look completely out of place in contrast to a slim-fitting, black button-up shirt. You tried to keep a straight face but a small, quick smirk escaped regardless.

Not a word was exchanged whilst the elevator made its way further up and the silence was equally kept as both of you got out on the same floor. He knew and respected the fact that you needed your time to cool off after a whole week of keeping a company afloat. Opposed to the calm, the beeping of your key card against the electric lock seemed almost harsh.

Only a few swift steps left until you could finally step out of your heels. You tossed them off your aching feet with such vigor that they clinked against the shelf your key card found its home for now, right next to an already prepared red envelope. You nearly groaned out loud as the pressure gradually eased off and you felt nothing but smooth, neatly waxed acorn tiled against your soles.

Right after tossing your purse next to the shelf, you headed into the kitchen area of your loft apartment in the search to quench your thirst for a hefty glass of wine. Instead of bothering with actually pouring one, you raised the bottle straight to your lips and took a long swig.

“Rough week, huh?” Mid-gulp you turned your head to the side where Clay leaned against the door frame, arms loosely crossed in front of his chest and an understanding smile playing around his lips.

“Massive understatement.”, You returned after swallowing the fruity, rich red, “Remember Alice?”

“Your new secretary that started last month? Yeah, what's with her?” Clay raised his brows slightly.

“Had to kick her out already. Missy got blackout drunk at the outing on Wednesday and started getting a bit too touchy with Jake from finances before puking all over the restaurant restroom.” With the memories of that evening resurfacing, you pinched the bride of your nose and sighed.

“I really liked her, you know? But that's downright unacceptable behavior.“, You treated yourself to another swig of wine before holding the bottle towards Clay, “Want some?”

“Certainly not opposed to it.”, He took you up on the offer, helping himself to a sip as well, “Wow, if that has been your Wednesday I can imagine how the rest of the week went. However, I'm sure I can make you relax a little, no?”

“Oh, I'm certain. You never disappoint, honey.” The smile forming on your face was genuine and so was the bubbling buzz that caused your stomach to flip whenever you did so much as just look at him but that he didn't need to know of at all.

“Always glad to hear that, ma'am.” The cocky smirk he threw your way jolted right down amidst your thighs and you couldn't help it.

“Ma'am?”, You pushed yourself from the counter and took a step towards him, “That's a new one.”

“Thought I switch it up a little. Like the ring to it?” The smirk on his lips grew up to a full fledged grin as he equally strode forward, meeting you halfway.

“Certainly not opposed to it.” You teased, your eyes roaming over his chest, admiring the way the fabric stretched across it before looking back up into his glacier blue eyes.

The need to get simply get lost in them tugged at your heartstrings but you held yourself tethering at the edge, trying to keep your composure and this client-seller relationship intact.

“Whatever pleases you, ma'am.” Clay lowered his voice to a gentle whisper, seducing you right away with just his voice before leaning in and pressing a deep kiss to your lips.

The taste of the wine accompanied by that of menthol cigarettes slipped into your mouth alongside his daring tongue stroking across yours, exploring curiously. Fuck, you couldn’t just allow him to sweep you off your feet so easily. There were boundaries that had to be kept at all times but the ones protecting your heart had been crumbling all over the place for weeks now.

You reciprocated the kiss whilst forcefully holding back from pressing your whole front against his. Instead, you teared yourself from the kiss with an artificial smile adorning your face.

“I reckon you want my tongue somewhere else, hm?” Without hesitation Clay followed you out of the kitchen, leaving the bottle of halfway finished wine behind.

“Not only eye candy but smart as well.” You quipped, taking a comfortable seat on your sofa and leaning back whilst spreading your legs and allowing your skirt to ride up your thighs.

“Always at your service, ma'am.” Clay stated, placing himself between you and the sofa table, not breaking eye contact once whilst lowering down on all fours.

“I know, you're such a good boy for me. Now come here and let me forget about that week for a little.” As the words were rolling over your tongue, you felt the heat creep into your face and your cunt throbbing around nothing…for now.

The sight in front of you was one for sore eyes. It had your breath hitching as Clay made his way towards you, nimble fingers shooting up to pull your lace thong to the side. Just the way his fingertips ghosted over your swollen clit elicited a moan to trickle from your lips.

“ ‘M gonna take good care of you.” He cooed, his warm breath breezing over already and thoroughly soaked folds right before leaning in.

“Shut up, boy.” You managed to huff out, the sensation of his tongue parting you until it worked its way up to where you needed it to be taking over rapidly.

It rendered you reckless with desire in mere seconds and thus you didn't hold back from burying your hand in his tied-back hair, dishevelling the bun by shamelessly pulling at it to shove his face into your aching cunt. At that Clay groaned out, the vibrations against your core sending a shiver down your spine. In this instant you couldn't care less about the shitshow that was your workplace this week. Fuck Alice and all the damage control you've had to do because of her. For now all that mattered was Clay's skilled tongue drawing languid circles around your pulsing clit as his lips gingerly closed down around it.

“Feels so fucking good.” You murmured, allowing your head to loll back and your eyes to flutter shut in waves of bliss.

Clay knew how to handle you properly, doubling the pleasure coursing through your veins with two fingers which slid inside of you, caressing, massaging you from the inside in slow, careful strokes just right as you liked them to.

Clay hummed in approval, the full width of his tongue lapping at you, nudging all the right places with each bold lick. This was without a singular doubt the highlight of your week; every Friday at 7pm sharp. No fuzz, no beating around the bush, just blowing off the steam accumulated throughout the week and then both of you moved on with your life's until next week. Absolutely no strings attached, you lied to yourself to keep your face not only towards Clay but to yourself as well. Meaningless banter, an orgasm, a few hundred bucks and then dash. Uncomplicated unlike an actual relationship you had no time for anyways.

“Uh-Huh, right there.” You sunk deeper into the sofa, your breaths rendering more shallow one by the next one as you sensed the pleasure coaxing you past the point of no return.

Each flick of his tongue brought you closer to ecstasy until you kept yourself from holding it together and instead plunged right into the fireworks going off from every nerve ending in your body. Not really giving a damn about his ability to catch a breath, you shoved Clay's face against you, rocking your hips at his tongue as you rode your orgasm until the very last contraction ebbed away and left you satisfied.

“Delivered as always.” You pulled Clay off of you by his bun, astray strands of wavy hair falling into his face as he wiped his lips with the back of his hand.

“My pleasure.” He returned as he pulled your thong back into place before straightening up again.

The both of you exchanged quick glances, you nodded your head towards the shelf, gesturing towards the envelope.

“There's a little extra for you in there.” You pulled your skirt back down as the words suggested to him that it was time to leave now.

“Oh, you spoil me, ma'am.” Clay took the notion and turned to leave you to your weekend.

"Outstanding performance deserves recognition.” Your eyes followed his every step and, before you could push it right back where it was meant to stay, your stomach dropped in a surge of longing.

The need to have him stay, to curl up next to him whilst dozing off in post-orgasmic bliss took the reign for a split second.

“See you in a week, handsome.” You forced the words out of you to snap back into the reality of things.

“Looking forward to it.” Clay blew you a kiss before he threw the door shut on his way out.

Old Friends (Zosan X reader) P1

Plot: Reader is the 9th doctors old assistant but soon moved on to other things, joining the straw hat pirates and falling in love but now their paths cross again (only he has a new face, 10th Doctor) when they go to see an old friend in a strange hospital. Unfortunately there's some one else there that wants to start trouble.

One piece and Doctor who cross over (10th doctor), its based off the new earth episode. i thought since David tenant as the doctor is coming back in November it would be good to get this idea out.

Reader is Female (Sorry), Zoro X Sanji X reader, Poly relationship, established relationship.

Warning: Illness, Death, Bad language and Making out.

P2 - P3 - P4 - P5 - P6 - P7 - P8 - P9 - P10 - P11 - P12 - P13 - P14 - P15

You curse yourself for sleeping in, its already being lunch by the time your up and dressed, you usually stay up late and go to bed with Sanji at one or two in the morning but last night you forced yourself to stay awake longer. Zoro dragging you to bed at almost five in the morning when you hand't come to bed yet. Your job on the ship was the astronomer, Studying stars, planets, moons, comets and galaxies while helping Nami navigate at night and create maps. You loved your job it was always a passion of yours since you were little but after meeting the doctor and travailing through space and time you fell deeper in love with the universe and its wonders. Last night Jupiter was on full display and you couldn't pass up the opportunity to study it with your telescope and writing everything you could down in your notebook. Walking into the kitchen you find everyone eating and Sanji cooking "Good morning my love" your cook calls out with a smile preparing a bowl for you "Good afternoon Hun" you smile back greeting one of your lovers before taking a seat next to Robin at the end of the table. Zoro looks up at you form his spot across form Robin giving you a small smile "Good afternoon sleeping beauty" he laughs a little sipping on his drink teasing you a little. "I got fed up waiting for my prince charming" you tease back giving him a cheeky smile which he laughs at. Sanji places a bowl in front of you and places a kiss on your temple "I'm sorry my love. if i knew I'd come running to your rescue" the blonde smiles making you laugh as you watch him make his way back to the kitchen. "So how was it?" Robin asks next to you turning her attention away form Chopper hoping to hear about Jupiter. After taking a spoon full of food you hand your notebook to Robin who eagerly takes it and starts looking through "It was amazing and i also managed to see four of its moons" you smile before going back to your food as the black haired woman looks over the pages seeing your writing, mathematics and sketches. Chopper leans over to his eyes lighting up at the pages "Wow its so pretty, how far away is it? your drawings so clear" The reindeer asks amazed at how detailed your drawing is "Oh well its easier to see with a telescope but form here it would be" you think for a moment tapping your chin "Over 595 million km away" Choppers eyes widen and Nami almost chocks on her food "What?" the two ask making you laugh at their bewildered faces.

After you've finished Sanji finally sits down across form you as Robin hands your book back "Thank you Y/n and i'm sorry i missed it" The black haired woman smiles at you as you place the book back in your side bag "It's ok, the star sign Virgo will be seen this month and i think Saturn is due at the end of the month although it won't be as close as Jupiter was this year but there's a lot to see" you ponder realizing your going to have a lot of late nights ahead of you this month. A pecking sound tapped against the kitchen door catching everyone's attention all the crew turning to the door and waiting for the sound again, Zoro placing a hand on his swords ready to fight if need be but then there was a squawk everyone relaxed letting out a sigh realizing it was just the mail bird. "The papers already been delivered. What does he want?" Nami sighs getting up form her seat and walking over to the door, opening it the navigator looks down at the mail bird with an angry look "What?" Nami sighs the bird digging into its bag and pulling out a letter "Oh thank you" Nami smiles no longer angry but as she goes to grab it the bird pulls it away flapping its wings at her "Hay, give it" She yells going to grab it again but the bird moves away again, Sanji stands up and walking over to the door putting a hand on Nami's shoulder to try and clam her down "What's wrong?" the cook asks looking down at the bird whose now much calmer with Nami not trying to grab the letter. "He has mail for us but won't had it over" at the navigators words the bird squawks again and holds the letter up showing the name on it along with big red letters at the top saying "Urgent" and on the bottom in the same red it said "Must be signed for". Nami sighs and steps aside letting the bird in before going back to her seat "It's for you" she points back at the bird as she heads to her seat. You raise an eyebrow at her and look to the door seeing the bird walk in and over to you.

Sanji walks behind the bird as it walks up next to you looking up at you from the floor and handing you the letter "Thank you" you smile taking it off the bird and placing it on your lap so you can sign its clip board. "What does it say?" Luffy yells out Nami forcing him back down into his seat while some of the others laugh. The bird bows to you and walks out Sanji closing the door behind it and walking back to his seat. "That was weird" The blonde comments lighting a cigarette and leaning back in his chair blowing out the smoke. "Its fancy though" Zoro laughs as you hold up the envelope, turning it around to see what he means, gold seal. You pop it open and take out the letter but as you pull out the folded letter you notice the name, Evergreen Days, a hospital on this planet run by aliens, not even the government knows about it since its protected by powerful beings. It's also well hidden, shielded by a dome that makes it invisible and if you touch it without having a pass it'll push you out the other side making it seem like you glided right through. Your heart sank and it showed on your face, there are only a hand full of people who would send you a letter from that place, all of them where friend's you've met over the years of working with the doctor and the only reason they would send a letter from that place would be is they were dying. The hospital is known for being able to cure everything and anything other than old age and Death.

Robin places a hand on your shoulder "something wrong?" she asks seeing your sad face looking over the unfolded letter, you nod taking a breath before unfolding it and reading through it. Robin pulls away as not to look at the letter feeling it best to give you some privacy, the others stay quiet but Brook, Nami, Sanji and Zoro watch you close knowing the look on your face, someone is dead or dying and all they can do is watch as your eyes scan the letter. You pull off the button on the bottom of the page before putting the letter back in its envelope, the name on the paper surprised you, the face of Boe was dying, and he had asked for you to come and see him in his last moments. You try and hold yourself together but its hard when your so close with him, you don't even know his real name at yet you have a connection with the giant head. Taking a breath and wiping a stray tear away you look up form your lap, Robin places a hand on your shoulder as Sanji reaches over the table to take your hand which you reach out to hold. "Can we help?" Luffy's words made you look to the other end of the table at him seeing his concerned face, you give him a small smile and nod "Yea... i guess there's a lot i need to explain but.. An old friend is dying, and he's asked me to come see him" you answer Luffy nodding and standing determined to help his crew mate "Alright lets go then" The captain looks at Nami who nods at him and stands up too "Where is it?" the navigator asks walking around the table to you. "it's not a place you can find with a log post. You'll need this" you stand letting go of Sanji's hand as you hold up the small grey button in your fingers, the middle showing the hospital's symbol "Iv never seen that symbol before" Chopper leans over to look at it as Nami meets you at the end of the table looking it over in confusion. "Like i said there's a lot to explain and it's going to sound... like i'm crazy" you sigh placing the button on the table, you never thought your old life and new life would meet but now that it has you hope they will still accept you.

Pressing the symbol a small hologram pops up in a light blue glow showing a 3D map. A green dot on the map marks where your ship is in real time along with a red line leading to where the hospital is only stopping when it hits the hospital symbol. Nami's eyes widen as Luffy, Usopp and Chopper run over to your side of the table to get a better look. "What the fuck?" Zoro asks his eye wide as he stands up unable to believe what he's seeing "This is so cool" Chopper, Luffy and Franky yell with large smiles making you giggle feeling better about the situation. "I'll grab some stuff and then explain, please don't mess with it" you sigh mainly looking at Luffy and Franky who you know will want to mess with it so you slide it across to Robin who nods showing she will protect it. You walk out the kitchen and head to your shared room with the boys but now your away from the others you the tears you've been holding back form in your eyes. The face of Boe is one of your oldest and most dear friend, the two of you used to talk for hours about his life and the stars, he was always so kind to you and so wise. When ever you saw him it brought a smile to your face, he's always respectful and thoughtful. You think he doesn't have a bad bone in his massive head so the thought of losing him makes you break. As you enter the room and close the door behind you, the tears run down your face, the overwhelming feeling of sadness taking over while you lean against the end of the large bed. Uncontrollable sobs and gasps for air leave your lips as you legs start to give out making you sink to your knees, your forehead pressed against the bed frame.

The door behind you opens but you can't stop yourself from crying as hands go around you, pulling you away form the bad and into a broad chest. You let go of the bed to grip onto who ever is holding you, your eyes so blurry with tears you can't make out anything around you but odd shapes. Footsteps move around you to the bed and back someone leaning down next to you and placing a tissue to your cheeks wiping away the still falling tears that leave a salty taste in your mouth. The man holding you places his head onto of yours while his arms hold you tight rubbing of them up and down your arm "It's ok.. We're here baby" Zoro's voice is soothing and calm as he holds you slightly rocking you back and forth as you sit in his lap. Sanji scoots closer and rubs a hand up and down your back while pulling the now wet tissue away throwing it in the bin and grabbing another one. The two hold you close as you cry rubbing your arm and back letting you know there both there for you. It takes a while but you slowly start to calm down the tears stopping letting you see around you "That's it love, breath" Sanji soothes watching your jagged breathing start to get better and more even but your body and mind feel empty and numb as you lay in their arms.

Dried salty tears on your cheeks and lips, your eyes puffy and red as you look around the room trying to bring yourself back to earth. Your mouth is dry when you try to speak but your little hum gets their attention, Zoro looks down at you with a sympathetic look and brushes some hair out of your face while sanji pulls out another tissue wiping your cheeks "You back with us love?" Sanji asks as your eyes look over at him and your hand reaches up to take the tissue form him "Yea" you whisper, your voice almost like a husk due to your dry throat. Sanji gives you a small smile before getting up and grabbing a glass of water for you bringing it to your lips and helping you take a sip as your hands go around the cool glass. The water makes you feel a lot better but Sanji pulls it away not wanting you to drink it all at once. "Better?" Zoro asks running a hand through your hair to keep it out your face. "Yes thank you" you whisper your voice sounding more normal now as you try and sit up in the swordsman's arms. He gladly helps you keeping you on his lap one arm around your back while his other hand in on your knee, Sanji sits down next to you and runs his fingers over your red cheek "Do you want to talk?" The cook asks, hoping it will help in some way but you shake your head "No, i think i just needed this" you laugh a little leaning into Zoro and taking Sanji's hand feeling tired form all the crying "Thank you" you sigh as Sanji leans in and kisses your cheek while Zoro kisses your head "Anything for you" they both whisper against your skin letting you sit there for as long as you need.

They help you off the ground and take you to the bathroom so you can wash your face, they let you go in alone since you asked them to stay outside. Normally you could deal with this kind of thing all on your own, the doctor sometimes helped, but he was never that good with some emotions so it felt kinda awkward when he would comfort you. You were so thankful and lucky to have your crew around you, willing to help each other in any way and your two boys always seemed to know what you need. Picking the warm water up with your cups hands you splash it on your face and rub away the salty tears. Giving your face a good wash you look back into the mirror annoyed that you can't do anything about your puffy eyes, you sign and dry your face off. "You ok love?" Sanji calls form the other side of the door hearing you sighing made him a little concerned wondering if you were going to break down crying again. "I'm fine, Hun" you call back taking one last look in the mirror and fixing your hair before walking out the bathroom. Sanji opens his arms for you and you gladly step into his hug, with his arms around you he leans down placing a kiss on your head. "Thank you, both of you" you whisper pulling away to look up at the cook "I'm so lucky to have you two" you smile up looking over at Zoro who pushes off the wall he was leaning on to wrap his arms around you and Sanji.

You lean up a place a kiss on Sanji's lips, he hums a little and leans down into you moving his lips with yours as his hand runs up and down your back. You pull away and turn to Zoro who bends down and brushes his lips against your before places his lips on yours. You put a hand on his cheek and move your head a little to get a better angle on his lips, pulling away you rub your thumb over his lips which he kisses before you let go "Ready to go back?" Sanji asks as he lets you go along with Zoro "Yea but i need to grab something from our room first" you nod walking out the bathroom the two following close behind. Entering your shared room the boys wait by the open door as you go into the chest of draws, pulling open a secret hatch in the back you pull out a box with a pad lock on it before close it all and heading to your side table grabbing a pair of small keys. "Is that?" Zoro asks remembering when you first joined the crew you brought along a box. No matter how many times a member of the crew asked you would never open it or talk about it. Nami was good at finding hidden things but you always managed to hid it somehow. "Yep" you smile walking up to them both their eyes locked on the box before stepping aside to let you pass.

Uchusen Vol. 182 (Autumn 2023) Kamen Rider Gaim 10th Anniversary Commemorative Book: Muso Interview with Series Producer and Designers (other pages and translations below)

Publication: October 2, 2023

Producer Takebe Naomi Interview

-Recruitment of Main Writer Urobuchi Gen-

"One of the major points of Kamen Rider Gaim, was the recruitment of Urobuchi Gen-san as the main writer, someone who's worked on video games and anime."

Takebe: That's right. Looking back, I'm amazed that he was able to do it. Currently, due to Urobuchi-san's schedule, I think it'd be difficult to have him on for a whole year, so I think it was a very important year for us.

"What were some of the characteristics of Urobuchi's scripts?"

Takebe: The dialogue was heavy, wasn't it? Each one was long and contained difficult expressions. Also, I remember saying something like, "New actors can't speak more than 3 lines" (laughs), but the choice of words in their dialogue was amazing, so I don't think it would've made a big difference even if they were made alittle shorter.

"Speaking of which, in an interview at the time, you said, "I’ve learned to write shorter lines after working on Kamen Rider Gaim" (laughs). We think it was also adventurous for you to treat dance as one of the important themes that make up the show."

Takebe: In the beginning, that was the initial setting by both Urobuchi-san, and Director (Ryuta) Tasaki, who was in charge of the pilot, and it made me think, "Wow, this is an area I'm not familiar with" (laughs). It wouldn't have been a problem if it was an anime, but as a live action show, the cast has to practice, and it's time consuming to film them dancing, so it was very difficult.

"Come to think of it, the flow of the story until the end of the show was already decided in the beginning."

Takebe: From the world of the kids on the dance team, to the adult world……the interactions with Takatora and the others, and then learning the truth from them, was all set up like chapters. When I met with Director Tasaki and Urobuchi-san for the second time, we had notes on the overall flow of the show, which was roughly divided into four parts. The final setting was established, and it ended up being almost unchanged, so it was a new experience for me because I hadn't worked in that way before. Usually, I think about what to do next while working on a show (laughs).

-Impact of the fruit armor-

"In contrast to the serious and hard hitting storyline depicted by Urobuchi-san, we think the catchy appeal of the fruit themed Kamen Rider characters were a key point of the show. The transformation sequence where the fruit falls from above, covers their heads, and transforms into their armor left a great impact."

Takebe: Since it's fruit, the colors are vibrant. The design is very interesting, and the characters stand out from the outside. I think the fruit were incorporated very well, including the gimmick of putting it on the head and having it expand into armor. However, you wouldn't know Baron is a banana if you weren't told, and Gaim is an orange, but we still tried to create a cool Rider image.

"We think that the tasteful styles of armor incorporating Japanese, Western and Chinese, also contributed greatly to expressing the individuality of the characters."

Takebe: That was a last minute differentiation. If you change the armor with a form change, you lose the identity of the character, or rather, the more you change the armor, the more you'll lose track of what makes Gaim look like Gaim. That being the case, we decided to classify the armor, with Gaim being a Japanese style, Baron in a Western style, and Ryugen in a Chinese style. Also, we decided not to lend or borrow armor to anyone other than Gaim. It might be better to play with toys by using armor that can be used by alot of characters, but that would make it hard to tell who's who.

"It was also interesting that the Lockseed transformation item had a lock motif."

Takebe: As an item, I think we made the locks very cool and cute. It's just the right size, with a nice fit in the hand, and a slightly responsive weight. In fact, I'm glad to hear that the Lockseed toys sold well.

"What other Riders or items were particularly memorable to you?"

Takebe: The introduction of the adult team (new generation Riders) who transform with the Genesis Driver. It was nice to have a group of 4 Riders on the enemy side. The bow weapon (Sonic Arrow) was also cool, and the production of Kanada Osamu's team (episode 12), which appeared for the first time, was also good. Apparently the Genesis Driver sold well, which when you think about it, is amazing, considering it's the enemy's Belt.

-A wide range of casting oddities-

"As a multi Rider show, many characters appeared, so what did you pay special attention to when casting?"

Takebe: Rather than conducting a general audition like we usually do, we called on potential candidates, and narrowed our selections considerably. The dialogue written by Urobuchi-san is difficult, so we were thinking of someone with experience rather than a total newcomer. For one of the main actors, (Yuki) Kubota-san, he was a good choice. We had an interview with him, and I think it was more like casting, rather than an audition.

"So the cooperation between the new cast members, who played the main roles, and the supporting cast of skilled actors, helped to create the multi Rider story, huh?"

Takebe: I think that Producer Mochizuki's casting of Namioka Kazuki-san, Yoshida Metal-san, as well as other adults were well balanced. (Tsukui) Minami-san and (Aoki) Tsunenori-kun were also casted rather than auditioning, but I think the casting of the 4 new generation Riders really worked well together. It was abit of an adult world, in contrast to the childish world of the main characters. So, when I think about it now, it was interesting to see the wide range of ages, and the unique characters played by everyone, including the young cast members. Of course, that was created by Urobuchi-san, so I can only say that I'm very impressed with him.

"According to Suit Actor Takaiwa Seiji-san, Gaku Sano-san, who plays the leading role is, "The most mobile of all the leading Rider actors in history," and he showed off his pre transformation action moves, taking advantage of his physical strength."

Takebe: That's right. The Action Director, Ishigaki Hirofumi-san, incorporated alot of action. Gaim had many episodes by Director Kaneda (who came from an action background), so that may have been one of the highlights of Gaim.

"Overall, we think the casting was fascinating."

Takebe: I think Urobuchi-san also enjoyed that part. By working with real life actors, things will gradually change. Actually, I think that the character of Mitsuzane changed quite abit. Mitsuzane was played by Takasugi Mahiro-kun.

"At first, you had planned to have Mitsuzane leave the show with 3 months left. However, as he was writing the story, Urobuchi-san thought, "Isn't it wrong to have Mitsuzane disappear?," so he changed the direction of the story."

Takebe: It's similar to Isuzu Daichi of "Geats," where people like that are allowed to be in a world where everyone can be happy. So, I wasn't aware of it, and I don't think Takahashi Yuya (Geats's Director) has watched Gaim either, but I thought Gaim and Geats were similar. For example, with Gridon, we thought about, "Wanting to make a lock from a nut instead of a fruit," so we'd say, "Then let's also make a nut Rider," but Geats also has small buckles including hammers, don't they? It started with the idea of creating a buckle made of wood or stone, so we were thinking the same thing, just like Urobuchi-san had already done before (laughs). I thought of this when I was rereading books related to Gaim for this interview. I didn't remember much about it while I was working on Geats, but I thought it was following a similar path. It's also the same that he becomes a god in the end (laughs).

-Various developments due to multiple Riders-

"Overall, what was the most memorable episode of Gaim?"

Takebe: After the TV series ended, we did two V-Cinemas (Gaim Gaiden: Kamen Rider Zangetsu/Kamen Rider Baron and Gaim Gaiden: Kamen Rider Duke/Kamen Rider Knuckle). It was impressive. When I was working on "OOO", I was approached to produce a V-Cinema version of "W", but I turned it down because I thought at the time that a spin off of Ankh, for example, would never be possible. However, I decided to work on Gaim just in case there were people who were looking forward to it, and all of them turned out to be impressive works. One of my favorites among them is "Kamen Rider Knuckle." Of all the Gaiden stories, Knuckle is the only one that takes place after the conclusion of the TV series. It's a positive story that continues into the future, and it's still one of my favorites.

"We think the key to Gaim's success was that it had so many sub Rider characters and was so popular that side stories were made. As a result, 6 years after the main show ended, a spin off featuring Gridon and Bravo (Kamen Rider Gaiden: Kamen Rider Gridon vs. Kamen Rider Bravo) was distributed."

Takebe: During the second Gaiden, we were talking about whether to use Knuckle, Gridon, or Bravo, and we decided on Knuckle, but Metal-san commented something like, "Hmm~, I wasn't chosen." When I heard that, I was surprised to see that he was so eager to work with us (laughs). In that sense, I'm glad I was able to do something I had left undone.

"As a project unique to Gaim, the year before Gridon vs. Bravo, a stage play adaptation was also produced with Zangetsu as the lead role."

Takebe: That was made possible when Nitroplus told us that they wanted to turn it into a stage play, but I do agree that it's something that doesn't happen very often. The casting was done by Nelke Planning, and it was great to meet such charming cast members, such as Mashiko Atsuki-kun (Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger) and Goto Dai-kun (Kamen Rider Zi-O), who would later be cast in other productions. The screenplay and direction by Mori Nobuhiro-san was also very good, and the idea of retracing the story of Gaim in a setting where Takatora has lost his memory is very appropriate for reconstructing Gaim on stage. I think it was an extremely rare success story in that Kubota-kun's Zangetsu was able to successfully tell Gaim's story in a way that was truly unique and without the original cast.

-Looking back on Gaim-

"Looking back on it like this, it was a show that covered many different topics. There were also many collaborations with other works. There was a history of collaborations with Super Sentai (Ressha Sentai ToQger Vs. Kamen Rider Gaim Spring Vacation Combining Special), and even Kikaider appeared in the TV series (Episode 30: The Red and Blue Kikaider) in conjunction with the "Kikaider Reboot" film."

Takebe: There was also a film (Heisei Rider vs. Showa Rider: Kamen Rider Taisen feat. Super Sentai) where all the Kamen Riders gathered. That's when the number of Showa Riders (Kamen Rider Ichigo-Kamen Rider J) and Heisei's main Riders (Kamen Rider Kuuga-Kamen Rider Gaim) were the same (15). I think it was created as a result of hearing about it from the staff, and conveying it to Shinichiro Shirakura. Actors who have played Kamen Rider in the past, including Fujioka Hiroshi-san also appeared in the film….It was certainly a work that did alot of different things. We had a cooking showdown as a bonus video for the TV series, and since we had multiple Riders, we had a large cast, so we were able to do alot of different things. That's why I remember the event being so popular. As an artist, I think I appeared at the "Super Hero Festival (Kamen Rider x Super Sentai Live & Show)" 2 years in a row (2014-2015). Kobayashi Yutaka-kun and Shida Yumi-chan, who were active as idol artists, were good at talking, so the final stage was very lively. And then, Sano-kun cried through the whole thing. He was crying for the very first time, and we all said, "Eh? This is the first time?" (laughs). But, I felt that he had worked very hard for that whole year.

"We've reached the end. Now that 10 years have passed, we'd like you to look back on Kamen Rider Gaim and say a few words."

Takebe: It was great to work with Urobuchi-san and to be able to challenge myself in various ways, including with V-Cinema. The content was abit challenging and mature, but I think Rider is able to pull these things off well in a Rider like way. Of course, it's good to have a work where each episode is complete. However, I think it's good to have this kind of show once in a while. Personally, I like Taiga dramas, and I think it's something that can only be done in a production that lasts for a year. Looking back, it's been a long time since we've had multi Riders. Currently, it's not unusual to have a large number of Riders, but it was interesting to see the development that came from having a large number of Riders, and in that sense, I think Gaim has expanded the variety of the series. Urobuchi-san and Nitroplus also found it interesting to work on Kamen Rider for the first time, and I think it was a truly valuable and interesting show that'll never be replicated again.

Designers Tanaka Sojiro x Tsurumaki Takuya Interviews

"A year after the TV series ended, the spinoffs, "Gaim Gaiden: Kamen Rider Zangetsu/Kamen Rider Baron" and, "Gaim Gaiden: Kamen Rider Duke/Kamen Rider Knuckle," were released as V-Cinemas, featuring new forms of the main Kamen Rider's from each title and many new villain Riders, but basically, they're recolored existing suits to create clever variations."

Tsurumaki: Gaim was originally a multi Rider series, so you can change the color of the forms in an infinite number of combinations (laughs). However, the inner suit is tied to the identity of the person, or rather, to the one transforming, so when it comes to a new form, we did them according to Gaim's rules, that you can change the color of the armor to some extent, but not the base.

"Zangetsu's Watermelon Arms (Kamen Rider Zangetsu) is a successful way of turning Melon Arms into a Watermelon by just recoloring it."

Tsurumaki: I think it was quite the discovery to make them look like other fruits just by repainting them. For Zangetsu, we used a melon pattern and painted it with a watermelon pattern to give it a completely different appearance. Everyone has their own impression of the fruit, so we were able to successfully create it by working backwards from that impression. In that sense, I think it's more meaningful to recolor in Gaim than in other series. That's why, because it's that fruit, it's that color.

"What about Kamen Rider Idunn (Kamen Rider Zangetsu) and Baron's new form (Kamen Rider Baron), both using Ringo Arms?"

Tanaka: In the beginning, we thought of using an apple as a Lockseed because it was a "forbidden fruit," but we couldn't find the right time to use apples, so we decided to use it in the film (Kamen Rider Gaim: Great Soccer Battle! Golden Fruits Cup), and Kamen Rider Mars and Kamen Rider Kamuro finally used apples. However, Toei still wanted to use the apple in the form of a "forbidden fruit," so it was decided that the apple would once again appear in Gaiden.

"Kamen Rider Tyrant (Kamen Rider Baron) has a design that's unpleasant to look at."

Tsurumaki: That's true (laughs). We first used dragon fruit in the film (Kamen Rider x Kamen Rider Drive & Gaim: Movie War Full Throttle), but even before that, it was a fruit that we wanted to use. The shape is distinct and the colors are flashy. So I'm glad that we were able to use them in the film and also in Gaiden. They also released a figure of Duke's Dragon Energy Arms (laughs).

"The second wave of Gaiden was "Kamen Rider Duke" and "Kamen Rider Knuckle."

Tanaka: Duke is a new generation Rider who transforms with the Genesis Driver, right? However, Gaiden (Kamen Rider Duke) was a story that also depicts the past, so we thought there should be a previous version of Duke, so we designed Duke as a Rider who uses the same lemon Lockseed as Lemon Energy Arms and transforms with the Sengoku Driver.

"In "Kamen Rider Duke," the villain Kamen Rider Saver has a unique design."

Tanaka: Definitely, when I saw it, I thought that we made something amazing (laughs).

"Since it's called Blood Pomegranate Arms, the association of Pomegranate and Blood (Orange) makes it one of the most sinister in the series."

Tsurumaki: It gives off a dangerous image (laughs). As a slightly irregular villain, he does alot of things that go against Gaim's design rules.

"Also, in "Kamen Rider Knuckle," you designed Black Baron as a color change of Baron (Banana Arms) with the other being Knuckle Jimber Marron Arms."

Tsurumaki: Knuckle was originally going to be Walnut, right? How did he become Marron?

Tanaka: Wasn't it to group him up with other nuts?

"We think the fact that Knuckle's signature fist weapon as a chestnut burr also left an impact."

Tsurumaki: That's true. And, it has a two layered structure where the burrs peel off, and the gloves come out (laughs).

"After that, in 2019, "Stage Play: Kamen Rider Zangetsu Gaim Gaiden" was performed, and a new form of Zangetsu appeared."

Tsurumaki: It was designed by Tanaka-san, right?

Tanaka: That's right. Since I was the person who designed Zangetsu, I was asked by the leader of the Rider team at the time. It was decided that the Zangetsu would be powered up with Kachidoki Arms, so we rearranged Zangetsu as Kachidoki.

"The following year, Gaiden (Kamen Rider Gridon vs. Kamen Rider Bravo)" was revived as a miniseries, with Gridon and Bravo unexpectedly playing the main roles."

Tanaka: Come to think of it, Bravo (Durian Arms) was the first Rider designed by Tsurumaki, right?

Tsurumaki: The first Rider I worked on was Kamen Rider Sorcerer in the film "Kamen Rider Wizard in Magic Land," but I think Bravo might've been the first Rider I worked on as a regular TV character. I also worked on Knuckle and the Black Shadow Troopers in Gaim, so I think it was one of them.

"Bravo's King Dorian Arms is basically just a recolor, but the addition of the cape was a major one. By the way, the cape played an important role later in the series."

Tsurumaki: That's right. It's a cape that looks quite evil.

Tanaka: If you want to make something look evil, just add a cape (laughs).

Tsurumaki: An all purpose evil cape (laughs).

"What about Gridon's Lychee Arms?"

Tanaka: That was an issue.

Tsurumaki: Should we talk about it? (laughs).

Tanaka: I originally designed Gridon (Donguri Arms), so I'm very attached to it. The design of a Kamen Rider is completed after receiving opinions from different people, but for Gridon, I was able to quickly draw it from the beginning and get the OK immediately. I was so attached to it, that I even named my cat "Guri" after Gridon, and when I heard that Gridon would be the main character in the next new production, I suggested 2 rough patterns that I would've liked to have used. However, after that, a rough draft that Tsurumaki had drawn the day before the meeting was added, and that ended up being used (laughs).

Tsurumaki: At the time, I was on assignment at Bandai, and when I looked at the design proposal that Tanaka-san sent me the evening before the meeting, it looked like a samurai, or rather, Japanese styled, but didn't Gridon use a Western style? (laughs).

Tanaka: I intended to include a Western styled design, but it didn't work out (laughs).

Tsurumaki: So, I added one Western styled proposal and it was chosen…..(laughs).

Tanaka: Well, it was frustrating, but when I saw Tsurumaki's design later, I thought for sure that it would be chosen (laughs).

"We see (laughs). By the way, what are some of the design points of Lychee Arms?"

Tsurumaki: There were very few fruits left that we didn't already use. So, I thought that the only way to make this work was to take advantage of the base of Gridon's armor, and thought about what fruits I could apply to it, and by process of elimination, I settled on lychee. Also, since Gridon isn't that strong, I think I designed it based on how I could make him look strong while still retaining Gridon's armor.

"What about the other one that appeared, Kamen Rider Sylphi?"

Tsurumaki: When we first received the concept, we were told it'd be a female Rider, and that it'd be a good idea to use the fruit of the Helheim Forest as a way of presenting the Lockseed, which would probably be the final one of the series. So we decided to design a new Lockseed, not a recolor, and Bandai decided to commercialize it with a new mold. The design of the Rider itself is reminiscent of a witch who presides over Helheim.

"However, even after the show ended, you continued to design quite a few Riders."

Tsurumaki: That's true. It's not so unusual these days, but I think it was the first time I've drawn so many variations.

Tanaka: Rather, I think that Gaim was the catalyst for the spin offs that became the norm after the main show ends, and for the trend of designing many Rider variations.

Tsurumaki: In Gaim, the Rider transformation itself was the system that easily created variations, so I think that was a big deal too.

Tanaka: I think it was a good idea to create a format where the body and armor can be switched around.

Tsurumaki: It's like a puzzle (laughs).

"Finally, please look back at Gaim's design works and say a few words."

Tanaka: I've participated in a few Kamen Rider projects, but Gaim is the only one I worked on from start to finish, so I have particularly strong feelings for it. Gridon was initially intended to be a mass produced Rider, but when I saw the actual situation, I was glad to see that they made him into a proper character…..This is a story about Gridon, not Gaim (laughs).

Tsurumaki: Today was alot of fun looking back on Gaim after such a long time. Like the Lychee Arms stuff (laughs).

Tanaka: I still hold that in my heart (laughs).

“Well there are two elevators, so maybe we should try to do a duel elevator game. One person in this one and one person in that one” Sams says with a little too much excitement.

“I already agreed to go by myself, so who gonna get in the other one” Matt questions.

“Umm well uh I guess” I agree, trying to keep my nerves at bay.

“You don't have to do it” Colby is quick to assure me, Sam quickly nodding in agreement.

“No, it's okay. I'll do” I agree, twiddling my thumbs. “Alright, here we go” I whisper to myself as I step into the open elevator.

“Wow not even gonna say goodbye to your brothers. You might never see us again” Nick states sarcastically. Giggling softly to myself, I quickly flick them all off before rushing to embrace my brothers in a quick hug. Letting go, I turn around and take a deep breath before stepping back into the elevator.

“Alright guy, let's go. Please take me to another world” I speak into the camera as I hit the button for the fourth floor. The door makes a clinking noise as doors shut, and the elevator hums to life. Arriving on the fourth floor, I quickly scan the hall as the doors open before hitting the number two button. As the doors were closing, I could have sworn could smell the faint scent of a cigar.

“ Okay, now time for the sixth floor” I softly speak as the elevator doors shut on the second floor. As I go to push the button, my ears perk up as a faint giggle fills the air. Freezing in place, standing in silence as I wait for another sound to pierce the air.

“ I don't know if you heard that on camera, but I could have sworn that there was a giggle,” I tell the camera with a shakey breath. “Alright guys, here we go” As the elevator roars to life, I feel a gentle tug on the back of my shirt. Goosebumps fill my arms as I whip around quickly, only to find nothing there.

“ Why, why, why did I agree to this” I speak breathlessly “You all can't tell, but something just tugged in my shirt” Dread fills my stomach as I hit the button floor two. The hairs on my body are standing straight up as the elevator begins, which descends to the second floor. Holding my breath as I wait for something that never comes, the ding of the elevator causes me to blow out a giant breath of air. I'm feeling a little better now. I confidently hit the number 10 button.

“You can do this. you're almost done” I gently reassure myself. The doors open for the 10th floor, and once again, the hallway is empty.

“ Do you guys think Matt is experiencing the same things as me?” I ask the camera.

“ Alright guys, now it's time for the 5th floor. Oh no, isn't that the floor the lady is supposed to get on? Please, please, please don't let there be a lady” I plea as I press the button. The Ovilus at my feet suddenly squeaks to life, spitting out the word “lady” “Oh my god, are you serious” I whisper shout as I point the camera toward the device. My breathing starts to get heavy as the doors start to slide open at a snail's pace. “Out” the device speaks again as the doors finally open. Relief feels my bones when I realize nobody's there.

“Alright last floor to go now, wish me luck” To my surprise, as my hand hovers over the button for the first floor, the elevator doors suddenly close, causing me to jump slightly.

“Exit now” the ovilus speaks as the doors reopen, silently watching as the doors close once more only to fall backwards in fright as I see the face of a blonde little girl staring back at me in the reflection of the metal.

Sitting the camera on the floor, I curl myself up in the corner, hands covering my face as my tears start to flow. Going unnoticed by me but caught through the lenses of the camera, the first-floor button turns orange as the elevator starts to descend, I barely notice that we have arrived at our final destination over the sounds of the near-silent pleas I'm releasing into the air, the voices of my concerned brothers pull me from my trance, as Nick wraps his arms around slowly easing me out of the elevator and on to the hallway floor.

Matt and Chris are quick to join us, rubbing comforting circles onto my back while all three of them whisper soft words of encouragement. As I try to stop the tears from flowing.

“Is she okay?” Sam asked as he and Colby watched the four siblings.

“I'm not sure. She isn't saying much. Maybe check the camera and see if there are any clues on there?” Matt suggests. Colby nods before starting to go over the footage.

“ holy fucking shit” Colby exclaims as he turns the camera around to show the five others, in the still screen of the camera you could see in the reflection of the metal doors the faint image of a small blond child.

Manacled by SenLinYu - Let's offload. 21/09/2023

Before I continue, please note I am just using this as my place for me to spew my thoughts and basically have verbal offload on what the last 3 days of binge reading 77 chapters, over 350,000 words has been like.

I did not think at the ripe old age of 31 that I would fall back into the fan fictions of the wizarding world with the Dramione ships. But here I am.

Safe to say I have not read a Dramione fic or a Harry Potter fiction at that for well over 10 years now. But the people of TikTok got to me.. I saw this fic being plastered all over my FYP with book binding videos, and it was always THIS fic. After what seemed like the 10th video, I thought I might as well stumble over to AO3 and see what the general summary of this was.

Now this fic is not even a recent one. It was written (beautifully I might add) back in April 2018 and completed in August 2019, but still people in 2023 were still talking about it, commenting on it and so forth.

I can't lie, it's not a cheerful story by any stretch of the imagination, but that doesn't take away from the fact it is a page turner (or screen swiper). It captures the ugliness of war and the consequences of actions of characters we all are already very familiar with. Thanks to that my attachment was already there. I knew them, from seeing them in the movies and on the pages of the Harry Potter books. I knew the world. I started reading the fic and it felt like I had never left that world. The characters were familiar, but also just enough different that it would show the effects the long war had taken on them. It showed how war chipped away at a person till all that was left is the sheer willingness and desire to go on.

Honestly I feel like this story could have easily been the genuine 'what if Harry didn't win' series of events.

I do have this giant hole feeling in my chest now that I have finished it though. It's like I need some more Draco to fill that spot. I have not thought about my love for that man for so long, and it almost feels nostalgic craving to read about him again after all of this time.

Thank you SenLinYu for writing this masterpiece.

Offload all complete. If you're still reading all the way down here... then wow. Thank you :)

Kinktober Day 2: Phone Sex

okay so i think levi would be trash at phone sex at first like reader would be like “talk to me” so levi’s like “uh okay” and starts taking abt his day reader is like “no talk dirty to me” and then he’s like “ohhh” so he googles some dirty phrases real fast but while it’s happening he gets into the spirit of it and is like “wow, let’s do that more often"

Word count: 2300

Tags: levi x reader, smut, modern AU, fem!reader

A longstanding miscommunication his business trips had always been. The two of you were ever so honest, but for some reason, when it came to this matter, both of you were overly considerate of the other to the point of mutual disappointment.

Sat up in bed, you would watch him pack a suitcase and wish that you were doing it with him. Levi could feel your eyes on his every move, could read your longing mind. He looked to you, voice pained. “You’ll just be sitting in a hotel room all day, I don’t want you to die of boredom.” Swiftly, he zipped his case shut, “And trust me, you would.”

You crossed your arms, pouting, “Trust me, I wouldn’t.” Hands in your lap, you made your case, “You think I can’t find something to do in the city?”

Through sullen bangs, doubtful eye contact matched his tone, “Not if the city is Lincoln, Nebraska.”

That was how it always went. Lincoln, Redmond, Augusta, Levi insisted you would rather stay home while you insisted you would rather be with him. At last, the two of you would settle: he would only be gone two to three days, and he would make it all up to you as soon as he stepped off the plane.

And he always fulfilled that promise. Your favorite takeout bought on his way home. Cleaning the kitchen - cleaning everything - right after that dinner. For you: at least one orgasm for every night he had been away. That kept you content enough, always forgetting the back-and-forth debate that had preceded his departure - until his next assignment.

But then came this one. A deal that couldn’t close, was how you understood it. Phoning you in frustration, Levi described it rather as A staff with no brain cells. Two days turned to three. Three to four. Four to five. Head in his hand, between fingers, Levi peeked at his desk calendar. Tonight would make one week. Fuck it, he did not even need the calendar to know that. His heart missed you. His arms felt empty. But even more pressing was his pent-up desire, literally pressing against the inside of his slacks. For as far back as he could remember in your relationship, the two of you had never gone this long without sleeping together. 

On the way to his cab, Levi held his briefcase at his lower front, an unnatural attempt to look natural as he hid the symptom of unspent passion. Cheeks flushed red, strung-out anxiety told him that all his coworkers were surely pointing and laughing from the skyscraper above. Levi cursed himself: I really should’ve brought her. 

One step at a time. Levi ducked into the taxi, “Embassy on 10th.” In those three words, even the driver could tell he was irritated. They clenched their teeth when his phone rang, praying it would not stress the passenger even more.

But before Levi even answered the phone, he was already scoffing. His work phone’s ringtone rang especially loud, pitch particularly high. Without checking the caller ID, he flipped open his cell and growled, “Ackerman. After hours. What do you need?”

Damn. You pointed your knees together, hand massaged your thigh. You had not heard this tone of his in quite some time, but as your heat started to simmer, you smiled, deciding you did not mind it. In fact, it gave you inspiration to sing a serenade of your own, “Well, hello, Mr. Ackerman after hours.” He could hear the smirk in your speech, “I’m happy you asked - turns out, I need you.”

Which riled him as well. Foremost, he felt his pants tighten. Though that was shortly followed by another attempt to retain composure. Brief eye contact made in the driver’s rearview mirror, Levi cleared his throat, “You called my work number, something wrong?”

“Depends how you define wrong.” You twisted a strand of hair around your finger, as you attempted to wrap your husband the same, “But tell me about you, how was your day?” Biting back a smile, you sang, “Talk to me.” 

Your invitation came right as his ride pulled up to the drop-off. “Um, well…” Levi tucked you between his ear and neck, freeing his hands. He reached into his pants pocket, where he thought he felt his wallet, but no - that was something else. Levi grit his teeth - you idiot, get it together - as he fumbled, finally remembering that he always kept his cash in his suitjacket lining. Hastily, he pulled out a 20. In the distance, you heard, “Keep the change.”

Past the revolving doors, a cordial wave to the front desk, Levi was multitasking quite a bit after such a long work week. Leaving a tip. Hiding what’s in front. Answering you. At the door to his suite, he swiped his keycard. The lock was so stubborn, his movements so hasty, it took him five tries and a slew of swears to get in. “Goddammit.” 

“Levi?”

“Sorry.” Finally inside, Levi unlaced his Oxfords and stepped out of his shoes. Once in the routine of his unwind, he managed enough coherence to answer, “Day’s been - you know - the same as all the rest of them.” In your speaker, you could hear his exhaustion. Silk against cotton as he threaded his tie out from under his collar. “Lots of idiots. Not a lot of progress.” Thud of his briefcase onto the coffee table. “If I’m lucky, I’ll be back home by Wednesday.” The crunch of his comforter as he sat on the edge of the bed, “I’m sorry, I’m sure you miss me…”

The first potential he had given you all conversation, you jumped on it, “You’re right, baby…” wide smile, whiny voice, “I do miss you a lot.”

“The thing is, it’ll all depend on circulating the contract and obtaining the right signatures.” Levi rubbed his forehead and loathed, “That is… if these people are even capable of spelling their own names.”

That wasn’t the response you were aiming for.

Fingers curled to the hem of your dress, bunching your fabric and bringing it to your core. Batting your eyelashes, “Levi, honey?”

Unbuttoning his shirt, “Yeah?”

“I meant talk dirty to me.”

Red warmed his cheeks, the heat of embarrassment tantalizingly mixed with the fire only you could spark. At your order, it clicked for him. In the privacy of his hotel room and with his lover on the phone, he did not have to act so professional anymore. In fact, you encouraged him to act the opposite - to completely unwind with you. 

“O-Oh,” Levi swallowed, speaking quietly, “right.”

The only thing was - he had not done this before. But what better time to start? And how else would he learn? Adrenaline accelerated his movements as he reached for his laptop, slinging it from his table to his side. He clenched his teeth, nervous, and held the phone away from his computer - just far enough so that you could not hear his hurried clacks. 

The first search result, “What are you wearing tonight?”

You smiled to yourself, There you go. “Oh, I’m glad you asked.” You smoothed your hand along the garment’s fabric, flattening its folds “Remember our honeymoon?” 

Levi felt his pants tighten even more, calloused fingers undid his buckle, slithered his belt from beneath its loops. “Yes, I remember.” That low in his voice was a major tell. Despite how calm he sounded, you knew it as a facade - an attempt to keep cool before he started to waver.

“And that little store we stopped at? And the dress you bought me there?”

Yes, he remembered. Black silk body hugged all the right places. See-through lace revealed all the right places. At the memory, Levi automatically hooked his thumb over the waistband of his briefs, easing that tautness just enough to let him breathe. An uneven sigh escaped his lips, picked up by your receiver. 

A single laugh, “Seems like you remember.”

His mind was racing, but his mouth could not seem to move. Hurriedly, Levi looked back to his screen. “Without me there?”

“This is the next best thing, isn’t it, dear?” Levi heard the wooden drag of the drawer to your bedside table. Hand felt around for the silicone device that lay inside. “A less loyal wife would be happy to enjoy herself by herself, but I thought it would be more fun to at least give you a listen.”

Levi’s ears perked up at the familiar sound. A deep click! And a droning buzz. As always, followed by your initial whines- over them, you invited, “Even better if you’d join me.”

By then, you did not have to coach him. His needs had already taken over. The first warming strokes had him melting with pleasure, outpoured in praise, “What the fuck ever did I do to deserve you?”

“Oh so much, darling.” You wedged your vibrator between your folds, further inside with each thought of your husband’s love, “You bought me this lingerie and this toy, right?” They weren’t so cheap, either. “Blowing my back out after a hard day’s work.” Spending his last ounces of energy on your pleasure. “And cleaning the kitchen counter -” you growled, “- just to fuck me on top of it.”

Some of this favorite memories came flooding back to him, he felt this phone sex would become a new one. With each sentence you spoke, he felt his motions move to match their intensity. Suddenly, it became painfully obvious what a week of abstinence could do to him, especially after the fruitful years you two had shared together. Fingers ran over his tip, sweeping some of his leaking arousal back down his shaft. At the sensation, Levi arched his back and groaned, “You’ve got it wrong, sweetheart.” Levi pressed his cell right to his mouth, letting you hear the gratitude in every word, “You spoil me.” 

“Oh, yeah?” Your thumb gave another click, increasing the level. “Tell me, baby…”

“The way you suck me off and drink it down, swallowing it all, every last drop.” The grip on his member turned white-knuckle. “Taking it all so well…” Massaging his entire length now - base to tip - mimicking the way he could pound fully into you. “No one else can do it like you, babe. I bet you know that.” 

Levi smirked, continuing, “And I’ll bet you planned all this, too. Knowing the long week I’ve been having, you thought up just the thing to fix it,” Levi’s hips began the transition from rocking to bucking, “didn’t you, brat?”

Reacting to your pet name, your wet walls hugged your toy even closer, bringing the vibrations right to your sweet spot. Fingers flinched into the sheets as you strained, “Guilty.”

At your sass, he felt the reflex to give you a spank, but with you not there, he could only expel that energy onto his own cock. Levi snickered, “Such a good fucking girl.”

That was it. What you had been looking for. The flawless combination of his confidence and compliments, his voice alone was enough to push you over the edge. Your arms weakened, legs spasmed. Toes curled into the mattress, bracing yourself for the flood as you felt your dam start to break, “Y’Yours…” Broken. “Yours, Levi!”

“That’s right, princess.” He rewarded, then commanded, “Again. Louder.”

“Y’Yours!” Cumming… Cumming!! “Y’Yours, Le’vi!”

His movements were out of his control now. Faster than he could handle. Only once he heard you reach your peak, he allowed himself to get there as well. Given the timing of his mewls, despite the hell week he had withstood, you could tell he had still waited for you to finish first. Such a good boy.

Past grit teeth, his whines escaped. In your ear, you picked up his hesitation. Even in the throes of your climax, you made sure to let him know it was okay to let himself loose - finally. “Go ahead, Levi… Let it out.” Just the right words for the setting, “You’ve earned it.”

Whenever he masturbated, he tried to conjure up a scene, a memory, a fantasy. This time, though, he did not have to. The thought - the reality - that you had set this up and done this all for him was sexier than anything he could imagine. A steep arch of his back. A quiver in his lip. One hand clutched his cock - certain he was about to cum. The other his heart - ready for it to burst.

Just as the first wave began to tide, twitching nerves dropped his phone - you could tell by the clash of metal on sheets. At first, your jaw dropped with a pang of disappointment, but that disappointment was short-lived. For even though the distance had grown, his voice still managed to resound throughout the room. Unthwarted cries, filthy words, and stuttered syllables of your name  - despite the separation between his mouth and the microphone - you heard them loud and clear. In that way, it was made even better, as your mind started to wander. Imagine if you were there. He must be screaming.

The orgasm long-awaited lasted impossibly long. In its wake, Levi tilted his head back against the headboard and released a shaky, drawn-out sigh. Over the line, you could hear him as he caught his breath, could practically see his eyes rolled back and fluttered shut. Hand stuck to his chest, shining with sweat, palm pounded by his heartbeat still racing. 

You had such a clear picture already, but still, you needed to hear it. Off the cusp of climax, you were already flirting again. You traced your fingertips along your neck. Teeth grazed your lip before dragging to release. Lips parted, excited to ask him what he thought, but your husband unknowingly interrupted in the best way possible:

“Wow,” breathless, exasperated, ready for more, “let’s do that more often.”

Chapter 7: Call it Love

Pairing: Lamina x (Fem!Mentor)Reader

Summary: Apparently getting asked to the Paper Lantern Festival is a big thing in 7. Not only you have to deal with Acacius' self-insertion, you also now have to deal with his jealousy, as he wanted to be the one to accompany Lamina. Despite there are some secrets being exposed, you also finally get to understand the significance of Lamina gifting you her headscarf all that time ago...

Warnings: Swearing, Lamina's PTSD

Key: Italics = Thoughts, +*+ = Time Skip, Bold/Italics = Flashback

Theme: Call it Love - Picture This

A/n: Might make an epilogue or come up with ideas for Y/n and Lamina's future, idk yet :) School started back up for me and I'm about to be busy. But, I'll try to keep posting as much as possible!

Chapter 1 | Chapter 2 | Chapter 3 | Chapter 4 | Chapter 5 | Chapter 6

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

*Lamina's POV* The both of you reach home but low and behold to neither of your surprises, Acacius was in the living room.

"We've been waiting here for you two for hours," Your pa states, "Where have y'all been?"

"Oh you know..." Y/n sighs, "When the 11th Victor of the Hunger Games personally wants to meet the both of you, peacekeepers will make sure of that.."

"What are you doing here Acacius?" You ask

"There was something I wanted to ask you, Lamina," He says, standing onto his feet, "I wanted to ask you if you would accompany me to the Paper Lanter-"

"I already asked Y/n to accompany me," You blurt out

Awkward silence...

"Oh... Okay," He says, attempting to take rejection calmly, "Then... I'll see you there anyway..."

He trudges his way out to the door.

"Hope you two have fun," He says before making his leave

+*+

You and Lamina attend another hoedown, the night before the Lantern Festival.

"You guys sure do like having these things," You sigh

"Well, yeah," Lamina says, "When we have our Lantern Festival, it's a way to honor loved ones and close friends who aren't here anymore."

"Do you... Miss Treech?" You ask, curiously

"Here and there," She says, "He wasn't much but he was from home..."

"I could see how protective he was over you when you were all there, in the zoo," You say

The both if you head to the dance floor...

*Acacius' POV* You watch Lamina and Y/n dance... The look on Lamina's face... You remember when Lamina looked at you like that...

"What's so special about Y/n?" You ask, mostly to yourself

"Right? Like... Lamina was begging to hang out with you before the 10th games," One of your friends feeds your questioning self, "It's like... She shows up all of a sudden and now Lamina is all over her than you."

"I don't even recognize her," Another friend chimes, "Don't think she's from around here... You don't think?..."

Was Y/n Capitol?...

"Only one way to find out," You say

*Y/n's POV* "Lamina, may I have a dance?" Acacius comes up to the both of you

You look at Lamina and could see the look on her face. One of being uncomfortable...

"Read her face Acacius," You say, "She doesn't want a dance."

"I wasn't asking you, I was-"

"No, Acacius," She says, "I don't want a dance with you."

"What is it about her?" He gestures to you

You instinctively push Lamina behind you, "What is it about me? I can read when Lamina doesn't want something from you."

"One single dance wouldn't kill you Lamina," He says

"She already gave you her answer," You say, firmly, "Now get lost..."

"I... I have been there for Lamina's family for the longest time!" Acacius snaps, "What does Lamina even see in you that makes you is special enough for Lamina to ask you to the Lantern Festival, and give you her headscarf?!"

Unknown eyes begin to lay upon the three of you...

"That's a very good damn question!" You yell back, looking down at your tied wrist, "I still don't even understand why she gave it to me!"

"Wow..." He sighs, "You're even dumber than you look. You get a headscarf from the girl I love, and you don't even understand the significance behind it. Why is that?"

"I..." You begin to waver

You were trying to scramble an answer together that wouldn't reveal where you moved from...

"Tell us... All of 7 the truth, Y/n Y/l/n," He says, a sinister smile beginning to form on his mouth, "Why don't you understand a very old District 7 tradition?"

You could see his friends beginning to chant the words: tell us.

"Because I'm not from here! I'm from the capitol!" You yell, snapping

Silence...

Your eyes widen... But Acacius smirks... Your heartbeat thrums against your skull... You look around at all of the faces looking at you... Now that your secret was out.

"A capitol scum!!" One of his friends points out

Acacius grabs your collar...

Panic sets in as you attempt to find a way to get him to let go of you. From the corners of your eyes, his friends surround you; preventing any escape routes.

"Acacius stop!" Lamina grabs his wrist, "She was my mentor! She was the one who got me home!"

"This... Twig right here?" He lets go of your collar, beginning to laugh, "You have to be joking."

You roll your eyes at the nickname...

"She isn't," You say

"You keep your trap shut. Lamina, I don't understand what makes her so special in your eyes," He says

"She's special, is because she isn't like the other people from the capitol," Lamina explains, "She's kind, went above and beyond for me, and she is the only person that understands my trauma. I..."

"You what Lamina?" He asks

Silence falls over the venue as everyone awaits for a response from their Victor...

"I love her Acacius!" You yell

*Y/n's POV* Lamina... Loves me?...

Acacius lets go of you, and Lamina immediately pulls you into her embrace.

You feel the same way about her. However, you were worried that everyone in 7 would see her differently from the most amazing girl she is.

You watch Lamina's upper body rise and fall with giant, exaggerated pants as she attempts to compose herself. However, whispers and murmurs became evident...

"Lamina how could you love someone from the capitol?!" He asks, "They do nothing but ridicule us and send us into that arena where most of us don't come home!"

"Y/n got me home!" Lamina yells back, "She kept me fed in that cage, she saved my life when the arena was bombed, she visited me every night when she had the chance; even with a broken leg she made the effort. To top it off, she said that she'd switch places with me in the games, risking her life."

"I would have done the same," He says

"Then why didn't you volunteer to go in Treech's place?!" She asks

The silence had become loud in the event space...

"That's what I thought," She sighs

"But, I still don't get why you love her," He says, "She's capitol..."

"Her mother is from District 9," Lamina adds

"Still makes her half-capitol," He says

Enough already...

You watch them continuing on bantering back and forth about you being half-capitol...

Lamina doesn't deserve this...

*Lamina's POV* "I don't care if Y/n is from the capitol Acacius," You say, "It doesn't change the fact of how much I love her."

"Just wait, she'll confess one day that she never really loved you," He smirks, "That it was all an act."

"She won't... If she didn't cares he wouldn't have left her capitol life behind just to be with someone like me. Acacius, if I ever see you, or your friends on my family property ever again, or try to even as much as lay a single one of your fingers on Y/n, I will lodge my axe into your head," You growl

You watch as Acacius and his friends begin making their quick exit. You didn't feel good that you had to make a threat like that... But, you didn't like how he attempted to insert himself back into your life after being absent since coming home a Victor, as well as coaxing Y/n into revealing her half-capitol status.

"Come on Y/n, let's go ho- Y/n?" You look up, but Y/n is nowhere to be seen

"Y/n?!" You call out for her

You run out of the space and into the cool, dark night. Eyes settle on you. But, you didn't care, you only wanted to find Y/n and go home...

+*+

You were losing track of time... But, you were growing tired by the second... You force yourself to return home.

You open the door, you hear your pa's voice, but he stands once he sees you and your distressed state.

"What's the matter darlin'?" He asks

"Acacius isn't welcome here anymore pa," You try to not let out a sob

But, your pa knows your emotional side all too well.

"You can explain that to me later, anyone who makes my daughter cry is dead to this family," He says, "Now where is Y/n?"

"I don't know, I've searched everywhere," You say, sniffling

"Hmm," He sighs, "Sleep on it... You can search tomorrow first thing. Or if you're patient enough, Y/n will come back to you."

You nod as you make your way up the stairs to get ready for bed.

*Y/n's POV* You find yourself at a communication station at the center of town, immediately dialing your mother.

"Hello?" Her voice answers

"Mom..." You stifle a cry

"Y/n baby... What's wrong?" She asks, "I thought you were enjoying 7."

"I am mom..." You sniffle, "But..."

You pause...

"But?..." She brings you back

"But, I realize how much they really hate people like me..." You say

"Honey, you're half district," She says, "Besides, all of the letters you sent me... Were all about your budding relationship with Lamina, and how much you've been learning about her culture, and how much you actually like it."

"Yeah... I was hoping I'd keep my status as a capitol-born person in the ground but...." You sigh, continuing on trying to hide your tears, "Didn't really work... Got into a heated argument..."

"Now, Y/n, listen to me," Your mother coos to you

You take a deep breath and compose yourself... Listening.

"You're in the same boat I was when I moved to the capitol," She begins, "Even if I had moved there years ago, there will always be some people that will never accept me. But, there will always be a handful of people who had accepted me. Now, I know you found a handful of people that will never accept you... But, you found the people who love you, and accept you, regardless."

"I did but... I'm worried that their community will see them differently now..." You say

"Y/n, how long have you been in 7?" She asks

"A long while," You answer

"And when was the last time you were beaten because you were for the capitol?" She asks

"Just day one," You answer, "I was close earlier tonight..."

"See? They were warming up to you from the get-go," She says, "Now, don't let some rag tag district people keep you from earning the life you want."

You take a deep breath, "Thanks mom."

"Now get back home, it's late," She says

You hang up the phone... You lean back into the chair and try to compose yourself.

*Lamina's POV* You wake up screaming again... You try to muffle your screams into your pillow as you try to find your breathing pattern.

"H-hey," Y/n's voice echoes

It's... It's in my head...

"Lamina," Y/n's voice calls out to you, but muffled

Make it stop.. I'm so tired... Everything hurts...

"Lamina," Her voice calls out to you again, but firmer, and more distinguishable

You feel something on the top of your hand... You stop trying to find a breathing pattern and look over to see Y/n kneeling at your bedside...

"Y/n?...." Your voice trembles, your hand reaching out to her cheek, "Are you real?..."

Though it had only been a mere handful of hours, not having Y/n nearby you believed your nightmares were real and you were waking up more frequently throughout the night... You didn't even know what time it was.

Y/n gently takes your hand and places it against her cheek.

"I'm real, Lamina," She sighs, "I'm one hundred percent real..."

You begin crying as she wraps her arms around your hips and pull you into her embrace. You shove your head into her shoulder and sob, bundling parts of her shirt into your hands. You begin to lean back against your pillow, but not letting go of her.

"Will you stay?..." You ask, in between sobs

"As if you needed to ask," She smiles, "Besides, you have yet to let go of me..."

She gets underneath the covers and you cling to her...

"Can't help it if you just left without notice..." You argue, sniffling

"I'm sorry Lamina," She sighs, "I guess.. I was worried of how people would view you if you were to love someone like me... From the capitol."

"If you didn't hear me, I don't care if you're from the capitol and I sure as hell don't care what people think of me in this town," You say

+*+

When you wake up the following morning, you slowly open your eyes, half-prepared to be greeted with an empty bed. However, you look up and see Y/n still there, in the same position she got into the bed. You sigh in relief and prop yourself on your elbow and watch as Y/n sneaks closer into your embrace.

You brush some hair out of Y/n's face as she continues to sleep. You lean down and gently place a kiss on her forehead. You weren't about to have your pa walk in and your lips are connected to Y/n's.

"If you wanted a kiss, you could have just asked," Y/n's voice groans

"Well, I didn't want my pa to walk in on that," You chuckle, "Did you sleep okay?"

She nods, "Did you?"

She tucks a loose strand of hair behind your ear, brushing your jawline with the back of her fingers.

"I only woke up once," You say, "But, that was mostly because I thought you were gone again..."

"Me?" She asks, smiling, "Never. Besides, there's no other people here that would house me, and you were clinging to me the entire night."

+*+

You write the names; Treech and your mother onto the lantern.

"The only two people that cared about me that aren't here anymore," You clarify, "Here, your turn."

She takes the makeshift pen and writes her pa's name.

"Only one I care about that isn't around anymore," She tells you

The both of you add a couple of minimal designs onto the still flat lantern. But begin to assemble it to its three-dimensional form. She scoops her hands under yours as you two lift the lantern into the air as the sky began to illuminate with them. You lean back into Y/n's torso as the both of you watch the sky.

"Thank you," Y/n says

You turn to look at her.

"For what?" You ask

"Asking me to accompany you to... This Lantern Festival and not... Acacius," She answers

"Well, of course," You say, chuckling, "Why would I invite him? After what happened last night? No way, he's dead to me, and to my family."

"I don't know... I just..." She attempts to find the right words, "He just seemed so adamant that he'd go with you or something..."

"Please, he was absent after I got home. He also had no right to poke at you the way he did," You say, "I prefer your company over his."

"You do?" She asks

You nod, "Why else would I want to bring you around 7?"

"Here I thought it was to get me acquainted with the district," She chuckles

"Oh, darlin', you're already acquainted with 7," You say, smiling

*Y/n's POV* She called you darling... In her District 7 accent.

You don't know why but it made your heart flutter.

"Well, I prefer yours too," You say, "Especially when you were in the capitol."

*Lamina's POV* Y/n was the best thing that ever happened to you when you were forced to fight other people your age to the death. She kept you well fed, gave you company that you didn't know you needed at the time, would be willing to insert herself into a dangerous situation if it meant that you'd live, and left her capitol life behind to find you...

She is everything to you.

"Do you want to know the symbolism behind me giving you my scarf?" You ask

*Y/n's POV* You look down to your wrapped wrist. It was one of your treasured items that you had always taken around with you.

"Is it a... Momento of yours so that I wouldn't forget you?" You guess

"Close," She says, "When a girl from 7 gives someone their scarf... It's them confessing that she has feelings towards that person."

You think back to the night before Lamina's games...

That long ago?!...

"I get that you confessed your love for me but... I'm just now being told that you had feelings for me since that night?" You ask

You couldn't help but crack a smile...

"I... Wasn't sure if you felt the same," She says

"Well, the capitol sure doesn't have any cute traditions like 7 does..." You say, "But, when someone from the capitol falls for someone... They attempt to do anything that would impress that specific person."

*Lamina's POV* Y/n's gift when you arrived in the capitol...

Y/n cooking you a meal after being put into the capitol zoo...

Y/n Y/l/n, who was from the capitol was trying to impress you... Someone from the districts.

"Well, in the beginning I was trying to make a good impression, "She says, "But over time... I... Just kept... Falling... I guess... For you- that is."

"Well, we were falling together and we didn't know it," You smile

This time...

Your pa or Acacius wasn't going to stop either of you...

There wasn't the social status difference...

There were no fears of death...

There was certainly no cage keeping the both of you separated from one another...

You gently press your forehead against Y/n's...

"Do you love me? Real, or not real?" You ask

"... Real," Y/n answers, smiling

You place your hands on her shoulders and begin closing the space, however, you let out a gasp when Y/n jolts forward, quickly closing that space and wraps her arm around your waist to keep you from falling backward. You grab the back of her hair.

"Lamina," She sighs

She slightly pulls away to attempt to catch her breath however, you weren't finished. You never lost hope that Y/n would confess her love to you.

You finally pull yourself away to breathe, but your hands remained on her shoulders, and your foreheads pressed against one another.

"You have no idea how long I've wanted to do that," You sigh into a smile

"Oh, I have an idea alright," She smiles, "Because I have had the same idea for a long time."

Your mouth curves into a smile; to the point where your cheeks hurt from smiling for so long. But, you didn't care. You finally snagged the girl that saved your life and brought you home.

Shoe im too sleep deprived to go zooming on all those screenshots and redownloadong the bird app, may i ask what is happening w the dream drama u posted? I love ur summaries, they make me laugh about things i am gratefully unaware of

My beloved anon im sorry it took me this long. But i am lazy. No other reason really. So i am now chronicling this dhit on my phone. And oh fuck dude is it a trip

SO. this fuckery began with quackity announcing the QSMP. He did so on the 17th of march and whatever the fuck. He mentioned it earlier than this (edit: just checked but the First announcements was the 10th)

And this is all great. New server that fucks. But what truly started all this. Was dream's tweet on his private twitter.

Im gonna try to be kinda impartial qnd jus. Explain it all as is but first i gotta say who says this shit lmao. So quackity announces his new project and is very passionate about it, he tweets more on his alt(?) About how much it means to him to bring his two languages spanish and english together. And dream on private is like 'wow cool! Guys dont get mad at me when i announce the same thing later tho haha' its just so weird.

But anyways. The usmp wasnt even A Thing. Only written instance of dream makin a multilingual server was in a tweet defending himself from copying quackity. (Altho he allegedly mentions in streams or whatever wanting yo do things w other ppl from other languages? But that shit dont count n im not diggin audio n videos out fuck that).

The actual, official announcement of dream makin a usmp was april 2nd (idk why this says the 3rd but whatever) wherein he announces the 'first multilingual smp' with a list of languages that will be on it such as portugese, spanish, english, russian, etc. And that it has live translation.

The same day, quackity releases a tweet labelling the qsmp as the 'first multilingual smp' and that he is introducing a live translation system to it. Mr beast connects that the usmp and qsmp are similar to which dream responds. Quackity doesnt respond, nor does he acknowledge the usmp at all.

Dream's response is essentially theyre different in that qsmp is spanish and english, he announced his live translator first, they had 'similar good ideas'.

So. This sparked a lot of drama and discussion. Because of the 'first multilingual' bit in that people began discrediting qsmp as it was 'only' english and spanish, and therefore was bilingual and not multilingual. Altho others countered thid by saying quackity himself called it a multilingual server in his streams. Not to mention the idea that the translator was copied but regardless both those things are kinda stupid arguments and just drama inspired by the comparisons.

More notably is that dream team were making fun of the 'first multilingual server' bit after this. Dream was liking some jokes at it as well

Dream also liked some. Vaguely sexual/romantic 'they should just kiss already' art of him and quackity?

Also after this dream started somewhat addressing/replying to quackity more. Quackity didnt respond to any of it.

Dream also tweeted this on his private the day after

Most narrowed in on the 'this wouldnt have happened without quackity' and was often interpretted as dream saying quackity HELPED him w it in some way or that there was more collab behind the scenes but we will find that to be false. Because. On april 27th. Dream dropped his magnum opus. Which i will include in one screenshot.

Anyways i seriously encourage reading the full thing here because its. Something. Theres so much. It is literally 1.7k words. A lot of it is repetitive but i will. Try. To summarize it.

Essentially dream is writing that he has been trying to contact quackity for some time now with no response. He has been messaging him about how theyve ended up with similar servers (therefore noting that neither one know of the other). This gets nothing. Dream tries contacting quackity more publically with jokes. Nothing. He starts going through secondary sources by talkin to ppl to message quackity for him (i think some people who dream knows that are on the qsmp. Unsure who) but quackity doesnt say shit. Dream is being absolutely ghosted.

Im also noting this last paragraph in his first tweet where he describes being 'taken back' when quackity announces the qsmp live translator after his usmp announcement, because he 'knew it would cause more drama'.

He says he messages quackity so they can plan how to deal with the 'vitriol' between the teo 'communities' and that the drama can be solved with 'communication'. He is ghosted. He also mentions that he puts the usmp 'on hold' in the 2nd tweet so it all can be dealt with and he can 'extend love and support to quackity'. Most notably he says that its alluded that quackity wouldnt let ppl who were on the usmp couldnt be on the qsmp which dream tries to say makes sense for quackity to do.

Theres apparently a fucking image limit on the tumblr app which ive hit so i am now not using images and speedrunning this shit. But im quoting this one thing exactly as its most important:

"That being said, I’ve seen the communities split against each other and have tons of hate build around this and around the speculations of peoples motives and friendships and so on, and it’s really really harmful to the community as a whole. I have seen more threats, doxing, fights, slander, and hate between a bunch of fan bases that I’ve seen in a very long time. I personally have experienced an elevated level of in real life threats & stalkers & even had the police involved in somebody showing up at my house, & even putting trackers on my family vehicles, surrounding this drama, for the first time since pre-face reveal. That’s really why I feel like I have to say something about it despite me wanting to avoid any kind of serious talk about all of this, especially even talking about communication publicly feels wrong but necessary in this instance. I never like to air out anything that feels or is private, but I feel like in this case it’s really important for my fan base to be aware of my intentions, motives, thought process, and how we got to where we are. I’ve always been a creator that’s very open with my fan base about everything going on in my life and this is a massive thing right now for my friends & me"

His last tweet begins with him saying he 'doesnt want anymore drama' and ends eith him saying he loves quackity and believes this is all just a miscommunication.

Now, obviously, shit blew up. Hes been ratiod a few times by people meming it. Ive seen many people on quackity's 'side' saying that the usmp doesnt even exist yet, dream is the one causing drama, etc. And people on dream's 'side' saying quackity is being horrible and needs address this because its caused dream to be in danger. Most importantly. Quackity didnt address it at all.

But then quackity announced he was going live in an hour. And a lot assumed hed say something. But he didnt. His stream was roughly 15 minutes long and it was entirely quackity announcing that he was introducing brazilian/portugese speaking streamers onto the qsmp.

Anyways. Theres a lot of details but my hand hurts now. A big thing is whether qsmp or usmp was 'first'. Imo theres a lot more pointing towards quackity having had this is store for a longass time, as he had been hinting and a project of his for months and more notably the qsmp is so organized and put together i doubt he couldve had it finished up 'after' dream as dream's nonexistent server was an idea he got after that squidcraft thing in early March i think?

More recently (i think today) i saw that quackity apparently took two emojis off his twitch that were dream roblox characters and i saw people freaking out in r/dwt2 about how quackity could be so petty? But ya. My condolences if youve read all this.

PAC // TAROT READING: Who do you want to be ? 

In this reading, we will be exploring who you truly want to be. I'll also go over who you have been in the past and current moment and some advice on how to get closer to your Higher self, based on what I read. As always, disregard anything that doesn't apply to you or that u don't feel apply to you.

Please, choose a pile now : 1, 2, 3

.

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

PILE 1 : Ladybug

You have been someone that is turned into the future and pretty reliable. You love organizIng your stuff, creating routines and you end up sticking to it for the most part. Who you wanna be is someone that is able to express themselves freely through art and is respected for it. You might feel like if you really let yourself free, you would be able to create amazing things. You've been trying many things and hobbies without feeling that spark or that natural talent coming through. I believe that you have what it takes to become that very artistic and powerful and expressive person but you lack the discipline. The same discipline you have for your routine should be applied to your art as well. Are you scared? 

I'm sensing that you would be good with anything related to communication, speech... Maybe a youtube channel? Maybe... -Devote yourself to it. 

Possible placements: Gemini, virgo, pluto in 5th/10th, sag

Other traits : Brown hair, loves honey or bees

PILE 2 : Eye

You've felt alone for a long time now, letting no one in. Heart completely closed off. You're know to be this really independent person that no one truly knows. I don't think u care about what other people think of you, but you're admired I can feel it. You need time alone because you've been hurt.. a lot... 

Who you wanna be is someone that is able to recognize what is good for them or not. You want to be able to bask in happiness and not be stabbed in the back the minute your guard is down. You're scared.. Wow. Who you truly wanna be is someone that is able to be happy. Truly happy. To make the right decisions who will lead to happiness. I can tell that there's been opportunities for you in the past that you've turned down because of the fear of being hurt. Or betrayed.

In order to be that person, you're going to have to destroy completely that brick wall you've built and to let people and opportunities in. No matter how good you're feeling when you're isolated, deep down you know that things need to change. This is your sign. 

Possible placements : Aries placements, Gemini mars, Aquarius placements/ Midheaven, Air dominance, Earth moons.

Other traits: Loves pop culture, love TV reality stars, blonde hair, blue eyes (or your fave has these physical traits - I'm sensing Paris Hilton lol)

PILE 3: Electric guitar

Wooh! I love this pile's energy although y'all are a handful for sure! You've been someone that's been pretty popular or at the very least someone that everybody knows. You have many qualities that make people attracted to you. Your smile. But, you've been having a little bit of money and overall management issues these past few months.. years? And people can see that and as a result, you can feel that they might not see you as someone serious. The things people have told you about yourself has penetrated ur subconscious and you internalized it. You actually believe that you won't amount to anything because of some past mistakes. That's why I can feel that you might not actually know who you wanna be. You're confused. You have many talents, but they're hidden because of your insecurity. 

Pile three, my advice for you would be to completely immerse yourself in that thing you like and you will become who you truly want to be. You might not know at first, so you'll have to try many things. I'm seeing dance, maybe or painting? Interior design? Mmh...I'm seeing movement, but I can't tell if it's physical (dance, gymnastic, ballet), or through paint or even just moving stuff around. I'm seeing that you're already on the verge of being the best version of yourself. Distance yourself from fake friends and hateful people. You are closer to your goals than ever. 

Possible placements: Capricorn, Taurus, Virgo (earth signs stellium), Libra sun, moon or heavy 7th house placements, Water moon with an Air sun

Other traits : knows french or love the language, wanted to be a teacher at some point, loves green/brown, has a favorite bird

Twice’s 10th member is overworked

It was another day with thousands of things to do on her schedule, from a meeting with JYP (sorry I always imagine it whispered lol) to practice with the girls she calls her sisters. She can't take it anymore but knows there's no other option besides slaying and praying that she doesn't faint from exhaustion. 

As she gets to the meeting with PD-nim he greets her in such an excited way she wants to slap him -with respect, or not- 

JYP - Hey Y/N! How are you doing?

Y/N - I'm fine PD-nim and hope you're too. Not meaning to rush you but, what's this meeting about?

JYP - Well, I noticed you're receiving a lot of good comments about you're dancing so we agreed that you're the best to film the challenges on TikTok for Set Me Free!!

Y/N - Really? But I already got so much to do, any of the girls could do it perfectly

JYP - I guess... however, this could disappoint the fans, don't you think so? 

 Y/N - Okay. I'll do it for the fans!

JYP - That's the spirit! But don't leave yet, we need to talk about your schedule

Y/N - What about it?

At the moment the only thing Y/N had in mind was how good it would be if some of the events she has were cancelled. She's at her breaking point and no one seems to notice.

JYP - We got some modelling with A'pieu for the new collection they're planning to release, isn't that amazing?

Y/N - I'm tired JYP-appa... Can't you deny it? It's too much

JYP - I get you Y/N but this is an incredible opportunity for the group, not only you but the girls too, denying this could affect the rest of TWICE. 

Y/N - Fine. Is the meeting done now?

JYP - Yes, you can go Y/N. See you soon!

Y/N - Bye PD-nim, thank you.

After this horrible experience, she takes off to the practice room to start the routine with the girls, when she got there they're already started and in sync. 

Y/N - Hey unnies, I'm sorry for being late! PD-nim held me up on a meeting *rolls eyes*

Jihyo - That's okay bae, what happened that you're so annoyed?

Sana - My hon is feeling bad, who do I have to hurt?

Y/N - Hopefully you don't wanna hurt PD-nim, Sana unnie lol

Sana - It depends :)

Chaeyoung - Scary...

Dahyun - Fr bro...

Nayeon - Anyway- tell us what's going on kid!

Y/N - Okay, okay, I'd if you let me speak in the first place *crosses arms*

Jeongyeon - Tzuyu's personality is rubbing on you...

Tzuyu - As it should, you go sis!

Y/N - Thanks sis <3 

Jihyo - Tell us now.

Y/N - So... I got pissed 'cause PD put more things on my schedule and you must know how packed it already is, like dang how much more he wants me to do???

Mina - Well-

Y/N - And then he tells me that if I don't go I'm gonna affect you guys, I don't want that :(

Mina - WHAT? 

Momo - Wow, Mina screamed, this is gonna become serious reallyyyyy soon...

Mina - I'm gonna become someone's nightmare.

Sana - I mean, I'm not against it...

Jihyo - Neither am I, no one treats my kid this way!

With all the love she's feeling Y/N finally let go and starts crying, it was so overwhelming and now her sisters are there making her remember she has people she can rely on. Dahyun is the first one to get near enough to engulf their maknae in a warm hug that the others soon join.

Chaeyoung - We're here. 

Mina - We love you.

Nayeon - More than you could ever know sweetheart. 

Y/N - Tysm unnies, it's just 'cause I couldn't take it anymore. There's too much to do, I can't even sleep and eat well, it's been a while...

Jeongyeon - What do you mean babe? You're stopped eating since when?

Y/N - Well... I'm sorry! I didn't mean to.

Jihyo - This doesn't answer the question Y/N L/N, respond right now.

Y/N - It's been 3 days but it's good, I'm perfectly okay!

When these words left their maknae's mouth they couldn't even reply, all of them full of thoughts about how they didn't notice and how they're horrible unnies. They should have seen it coming, their baby always got home late, bags under her eyes and her body becoming thinner each day that passed along the week. Her eyes were full of emotion but her words said the contrary, each day she came to the dorm saying the same "I'm fine, good night unnies.". It was clear and they were blind, the unnies could only feel more stupid as each second inside their own minds passed. The first reaction after some time was to be angry, but they couldn't do anything about it, they took so long that the maknae fell asleep, as she must. 

Jihyo - I can't believe I didn't see it, girls! Let's divide ourselves, some of us go to talk with PD-nim and the others go take her to bed at the dorm. Who wants to do what?

Mina - I wish I could stay with her but I already called it, I'm gonna make this man's life miserable :)

Sana - Amen to that honey. I'll go to the dorm.

Dahyun - We from the SMC are tired from school, we wanna go to the dorm unnie.

Momo - I'll go to the dorm so I can carry the kid!

Jihyo - Okay, then the rest of the unnie line stays here with me.

Jeongyeon - Perfect, let's move girls, JYP must be ready to leave and we need to get there before he goes.

As the unnie line beside Momo left, the others got to work and fixed the practice room and their bags so they could head to the dorm. After calling their manager and informing them of what happened, Momo got near Y/N and gave her a kiss on the head before lifting her bridal style ('cause Y/N's princess ✨) and got to the van. She put Y/N on her lap so it'd be easier to lift her when they arrived, Dahyun to the right and Tzuyu to the left. The maknae line all slept till they stopped at the front of the dorm. Momo woke up the girls, beside Y/N, and carried her to the SMC room laying her near Dahyun that was sitting there waiting for their maknae.

After Chaeyoung and Tzuyu took a bath, they stayed with Y/N so Dahyun could shower too. When they all laid down they felt warm because of the puppy pile and soon fell asleep again. When Momo got there she could only coo quietly and take a photo to send on the group chat. As the unnie line saw the photo after screaming and dissing JYP-nim, they felt at peace with everything again and could only think: 

We love our dear maknaes.

A/N: I apologise for any errors, English is not my first language. Pls, let me know if there's something wrong, ty for reading <3

Further Frozen 3 and 4 details from Jennifer Lee | Latest update

Jennifer Lee's first interview is in my previous post.

In another interview on The Walt Disney Company page, Jennifer talks about the future of Frozen with some very subtle hints for the third and fourth installment.

WDC (The Walt Disney Company) asks Jennifer Lee,

“You directed Frozen and Frozen 2, and this year is its 10th anniversary. Not to mention, the opening of World of Frozen at Hong Kong Disneyland. Ten years later, what has made Frozen everlasting?”

Jennifer Lee replies,

“I believe it’s both the story of familial love with these two sisters, and the idea of love conquering fear. I recently visited World of Frozen, and it is awe-inspiring. You are a citizen of Arendelle the moment you walk into the land.”

WDC finishes off with the question, “Is there anything you can tell us about Frozen 3?”

Jennifer answers,

“Only what we have already shared, which is the team is hard at work, we are deeply excited about the story we are shaping together, and it’s so epic it may not fit into just one film.”

So what we are given is that like the previous movies it has a theme of fear while still continuing to focus on the sisters and their love for each other. Frozen was about fear Vs love and Frozen 2 was fear Vs change or love Vs change.

Some of us already predict what the next theme conquering fear and faced by love will be trust given the podcast theme of trust.

I find it quite interesting how she uses the word “epic” to describe the story. When Agnarr finishes telling Elsa and Anna his story about the enchanted forest, Anna says “Wow Papa!... That was epic!"

You may think Jennifer could be referring to something like war or similar events as to the past told in Frozen 2 but no I don't think that's what she's getting at.

Actually she's trying to tell us that Frozen 3 and 4's events will be big and game changing like these events that went down in the enchanted forest.

What's really great to note is that they're taking the story slow and steady panning it into two movies, handling it with care and not rushing it unlike Frozen 2 and trying to avoid last minute story changes like Frozen. She's really trying to sell the movies' story and being honest I like how everything is. Not too much is given away, they're getting us prepared and aware of the pace of the story, and how many movies it'll fit into. They're handling production differently and better. The only thing we must do is hope this calmness remains throughout and nothing is rushed. The promotion of the movie should also be big as that affects the movies' success. But it's a good strategy for us to also be cautiously optimistic for that reason. But yeah so far it sounds promising.
