1 hr. and 30 mins. - h.ec x fem!reader

summary: all eunchae ever wants is to spend time with you, so why can't you? oh, right. other girls are always butting in and ruining your date, that's why.

warning: fluff. jealous eunchae.

word count: 2.3k words

==============

you lived in the shadows ever since you were young, meaning that you've been an outsider, an outcast ever since forever. a 15-year-old teenager who's afraid to make friends. people call you a coward for it but you just try your best to ignore the things they're saying.

it's currently 8:09 in the morning and you were walking across the hallway to your designated classroom to drop your bag off. your class starts at 8:30.

as usual, you came earlier than everybody else. just being the usual model student you are. every single day, when you arrive early, you spend your time walking around the campus, if not though, you read books inside the classroom.

today, though, was different.

when you arrived in front of the classroom, the door was open.

well, that's weird.

"the door should be closed...why is it open?" you mumbled to yourself before adjusting your glasses.

you stepped inside and there you saw another person sitting right next to your seat. the girl, on the other hand, noticed your presence so she turned around and met your eyes with cold ones.

"h-hello" you stuttered, slightly scared of the girl's cold character. the other ignored you and looked away from you.

'well, that was mean' you thought and sighed. slowly, you walked towards your seat.

'of all the seats that she can choose from, why did she ever have to choose the one next to mine?' you looked down. 

When you arrived in front of your seat, you dropped your bag and slowly walked away from the chair. you sure were scared about the fact that the girl who was sitting next to your chair might be a delinquent or something.

"calm down, i don't bite" the girl joked, her tone still as cold as ice.

"i know but...safety precautions?" you were unsure.

suddenly, the girl stood up which kind of alarmed you making you raise both of your arms in the air and close your eyes. you heard the girl chuckle.

all of a sudden, you felt a hand on your shoulder making you open your eyes open again.

in front of you was a smiling princess who looks like a damn cute kid. you slowly relaxed as your arms began dropping down slowly.

"i'm sorry, if my cold demeanor earlier, scared you" the girl apologized with her tone happier this time.

"i'm eunchae by the way" eunchae introduced herself.

"I-I..." you were unsure if eunchae was genuine or not. but regardless, maybe eunchae can be your first friend - the first one at that.

"I'm y/n"

==============

"y/n-ie!" eunchae shouted as soon as she saw you in front of the school gates. just 2 months after you met each other, both of you got closer.

back then, you would arrive 30 minutes before classes but now that you had found out that eunchae arrives an hour earlier, you push yourself to wake up and arrive earlier.

"eunchae-ah!" you exclaimed as eunchae hugged you tight as if she hasn't met you for years.

"my y/n-ie..." eunchae trailed off with a smile on her face. you, on the other hand, blushed at what the latter had said.

suddenly, your heart began beating faster when eunchae unexpectedly brought her face closer to yours.

"omo, why is my y/n-ie so red?" eunchae teased even further.

"s-stop it!" you said and gently pushed eunchae's face away from yours. "what the- you're pushing my face now?" eunchae pouted, and you panicked.

"n-no~!! i-it's just that, uhh" you continued panicking until eunchae laughed.

"you're cute, you know that?" eunchae giggled. "oh..." was all that you could say.

"let's go?" the latter asked you and you could only nod. you let eunchae take you away. this is the reason why both of you agreed to arrive an hour earlier. so that you can spend time together for an hour and 30 minutes.

inside that 90 minutes, you get to decide where to go and waste your time in.

this time, you don't really know where you're going since eunchae told you to leave the decision-making up to her. so here you are, letting eunchae drag you all over the city.

eunchae planned to do 9 things, each thing that she wants to do with you was only limited to 10 minutes so that when the time hits 8:30 am, you'll be right on time for your first class.

now, the clock strikes 6:58 am, and your time together begins.

=+==+= 7:00 am - 7:10 am =+==+=

your first destination was a Dog Café.

good thing this Dog Café's just near your school that's why it took you just 2 minutes to arrive.

here, eunchae planned to have fun with dogs for 7 minutes, and the remaining 3 minutes will be your remaining time to go to the next destination.

though cramped and the time's short, it was still worth it to do since she was with you.

at exactly 7:00 am, both of you stepped inside the Dog Café. eunchae took out her phone and started a 7 minutes timer. as soon as she did so, eunchae ran towards the dogs and let them lick her all over her face.

you, on the other hand, were too scared to even breathe. damn, these gigantic dogs scare you so much.

you stood still by the entrance until suddenly, the biggest dog of 'em all approached you and sat in front of you.

The dog tilted his head towards you, his tail wagging uncontrollably.

"looks like she's interested in you" one of the personnel walked towards you. you uncomfortably smiled while looking at her, still afraid that the dog might eat you alive.

the employee laughed lightly.

"don't worry, she doesn't bite" 

"i know but i'm still scared- wait... she?" you asked.

"yep, why? did you think that she was a he?" 

you nodded and scratched your nape out of embarrassment. the employee giggled.

"You're funny" she continued laughing before lightly slapping your shoulder.

'Eh? What was so funny about what I said?' you pondered. 4 minutes in and yet you're already making somebody else laugh.

eunchae, on the other hand, couldn't handle the way the personnel laughed. she thought of the personnel as...maybe...someone who should be eliminated? not the type of eliminate where she's going to k!ll her- no. definitely not like that.

it's more like a talent show where there can only be one winner.

"i'm chaewon" chaewon offered her hand for you to shake.

and in that talent show, chaewon's a contestant who eunchae felt like should oust.

so! eunchae came up with a plan that was smart enough to catch everyone's attention.

"here goes nothing" she sighed.

"AHH! Y/N-IE!!!! THE DOG IS EATING ME" believe it or not, this was the best idea she could ever come up with at the moment.

besides, this sounded even better inside her head.

your eyes widened as soon as you heard this. you immediately looked at eunchae.

even though you were not really a dog lover, you still know the differences between "eat" and "play".

you sighed.

"eunchae-ah, the dog's only playing with you..." 

long story short, eunchae's plan didn't work but she knows that she had successfully eliminated chaewon from the talent show.

if chaewon can giggle and laugh cutely, eunchae can scream her lungs out fully. finally, eunchae's 7 minutes alarm went off.

it's time to go to your next destination.

you and eunchae thanked everyone inside the Dog Café. eunchae took your hands and walked towards the next place she planned to go to.

=+==+= 7:10 am - 7:20 am =+==+=

another 10 minutes to spend with each other means another fun and happy time. at exactly 7:10 am, just as eunchae planned, you arrived inside a perfume store.

you're not exactly here to buy but rather, you're here to act like you're going to buy. you know? like hit and run except that it's called;

"smell and run," eunchae said and giggled.

"that's what we're here for y/n-ie" she added. this time, you'll only have 4 minutes to check out the perfumes and the remaining 6 minutes will be your time to go to their next destination.

"good morning!" a female staff approached you.

"good morning to you too" you greeted back and smiled. "ah, may I help you?" the female staff named 'sakura' asked.

"not really-" 

while you were talking with the staff, eunchae spent her time looking around without forgetting to set a 4 minutes alarm. "ahh, so you're here to take a look around with your friend?" she asked.

friend....damn.

"it seems so" you chuckled.

eunchae, who was too focused on looking around, stopped what she was doing when she noticed that you were too busy with another girl...again.

"seems like a tough opponent" eunchae hummed.

looks like there's another contestant that eunchae has to beat.

another plan to make. eunchae thought of it deeply.

"y/n-ie! can you help me???" 

eunchae asked you for help and of course, you willingly followed. in the end, another contestant was eliminated.

sakura may be sweet but eunchae begins to be sweeter.

just like that, 4 minutes are finally over. now starts your 6-minute walk.

=+==+= 7:20 am - 8:00 am =+==+=

would you look at that? a sudden change of plans.

eunchae couldn't afford to have you distracted by another woman. besides, she's getting tired of coming up with ideas on the spot, it's too brain damaging.

anyways, arcade! a fun place to spend your time if you have nothing else to do.

this time, eunchae swears if one more girl approaches you, she's gonna lose it.

for 30 minutes, both you and eunchae enjoyed your time together, hopping from one game to another. after that, eunchae told you that she was just going to buy the two of you drinks and snacks.

and when she got back, guess what?

2 ridiculously beautiful girls are laughing with you.

as soon as eunchae saw this, her hand slowly crushed the canned soda she bought. oh, y/n...may you rest in peace.

"that's it" eunchae growled. she placed the soda on a chair and walked towards you.

"jagi-ah~!" eunchae sweetly called out.

you were startled right after that. the 2 girls who were with you, however, remained unbothered. "j-jagi?" you gulped.

'I thought we were supposed to keep it lowkey?' you thought.

eunchae clung into your arms.

"oh! who are they JAGI?" eunchae asked, making sure that the 2 girls will know their place.

​​​​​​​"w-well..." for the second time, after eunchae met you, you were once again scared.

​​​​​​​"...s-she's kazuha and she's yunjin" you began praying. ​​​"oh, really?" eunchae smirked.

​​​​​​​"yes, you 2 must be friends? anyways, we were just asking y/n if she's available-" eunchae didn't even let kazuha finish and said, "so she is not and she will never be because as you can see, she's with me and will always be with me" 

​​​​​​​"sheesh, that must be suffocating for you y/n-ssi" yunjin added. now it was very clear that both kazuha and yunjin were trying to piss eunchae off.

and they did.

after what eunchae has heard, her arms softened and her confidence was slowly disintegrating. the other 2 girls noticed this and chuckled right after.

you were worried about her though. not only a few minutes after, eunchae also stopped clinging onto you.

for the rest of the 10 minutes, eunchae remained silent and let kazuha and yunjin take away her lover's attention.

but no matter how hard they try to do so, your attention was focused on eunchae.

after that, eunchae's alarm went off. she stood still and did not urge you to leave and go to your next destination.

ok, that's enough.​​​​​​​ you sighed.​​​​​​​ "nice to meet you girls but, just like what eunchae said earlier, i'm not really available" 

​​​​​​out you, and eunchae, go.

=+==+= 8:00 am - 8:30 am=+==+=

this time, you were the one dragging her. "where are we going?" eunchae coldly asked.

​​​"we're going to the place I cherish the most" you sweetly stated. about 6 minutes later, eunchae noticed that you just passed the perfume shop. 4 more minutes passed and after that, you walked past the dog café. eunchae noticed that you were walking back to where you met earlier.

​​​​​​​"what are we doing back here?" eunchae asked you as she looked at the school's gates. you said nothing and only smiled at her.

you went inside and walked through the hallways.

after walking for a while, you came to a stop in front of the classroom where you first met each other.

​​​​​​"you know, eunchae-ah, I really love this classroom" ​​​​​​​the latter raised her eyebrows. ​​​​​​​"why?" she asked.

​​​​​​​"Because..." you guided eunchae towards her seat.

​​​​​​​"...this was the exact place where you were sitting that day, and i..." you let go of her hands and walked back towards the door.

​​​​​​​"...i was standing here" you smiled.

"i never thought that it'd be you" 

"what?" eunchae was confused.

​​​​​​​"i never thought that you would be my first friend..." 

you took 1 step closer to her.

"...i never thought that you'd be the first person to laugh with me..." ​​​​​​​

you took another step.

​​​​​​​"...i never thought that you'd be the first one to eat with me..."

​​​​​​​another step.

​​​​​​​"...and i never thought that you'd be the first person i'd fall in love with" 

and another one.

you were now standing in front of eunchae. ​​​​​​​"eunchae-ah, believe me, or not, i never regretted nor hesitated when it came to you"

​​​​​​​you held eunchae's cheeks and caressed them.

​​​​​​​"you'll always be my first and my last...no matter what anybody says" 

​​​​​​​you kissed eunchae's cheeks and hugged her tight.

​​​​​​​"eunchae, my manchae, i love you" 

​​​​​​​"i love you too, y/n-ie"

an hour and 30 minutes was enough.

enough for you to make her feel loved.

[symphonic-scream]

I've got more P5 as P3 in honour of P3R and the fact that I'm learning more about P3 than what I gathered from PQ so sjdbdj

World Akira wakes up some nights to these angry blonde children who tell him the world is ending but he's special?? Also someone about the moon but they're fighting and yelling and he's tired

(at the end of the post there will be a tldr with all the arcana listed lmao)

I've changed my mind on something. Akane Hasegawa isn't Justice, she's Hanged Man. Wondering why her dad doesn't spend time with her and shit. Why he isn't trying harder to avenge her mom

That leaves an open spot on the team. A young character, who fights, and maybe is good with a gun? My new idea is SEES member Shinya Oda. I think this would work better than Akane in any sense

I haven't chosen a distinct role for Hifumi yet. Maybe Fortune? Instead of Art Club it's Board Games club and it's chess and shogi?

Now let's talk more about our SEES members

Member 0, the Empress Arcana, Makoto Niijima. She's been able to summon her persona since the big accident, the one that put her guardian, her older sister, into a coma. Makoto visits Sae at the hospital a lot, and she's lived in the Iwatodai dorms ever since. She was alone there for a long time, until members 1 and 2 joined her, when they all started middle school

Makoto appears put together to the younger members. She's got her sick ass motorcycle persona, and guides them through Tartarus at the start. Under her help even Ryuji does okay on his exams

But, it's mostly a ruse. She's trying to live "normally" to ensure she has a future but, part of her believes there won't be a future. She's stubborn in her escapism, and it's what led to a falling out between her and member 2. She's still a scared little girl deep down. Luckily, she's got a bond stronger than blood with member 1, though they don't show it around their Juniors. They remain focused on the fight, and seek the other for comfort and physical distraction afterwards

Member 1, the Star Arcana, Haru Okumura. She lost her mother young, due to her father's high status, in some, incident she doesn't talk about much. Even Makoto barely knows about it, and they're as close as can be, soul mates practically. Haru was involved, was there, and her father doesn't talk to or visit her much since she's come to the dorms

Haru needs to be strong, so those around her are safe. When first starting out, Makoto and member 2 had to take hits for her, and she'd cry after, while learning to tend their wounds from Sojiro or Takuto. Now, she's turned that old fear into a drive to slash and hack through every shadow, so her "family" is always safe

When she breaks her rib during that April Full Moon, she's so pissed she's sidelined. She spends the downtime picking through colleges with Makoto, softly talking about their next year. Haru does it for Makoto's sake. When she's high on pain meds in the hospital, she texts Member 2 for the first time in two years. They start meeting up, and Haru tries to convince 2 to come back

Member 2, the Moon Arcana, Ken Amada. He used to smile more, the girls say. Before. He's always been a quiet soul, Sojiro claims. He was the realist, the mature one of the three, always focused on the truth; the world will end, and only they can stop it

That's what his fight with Makoto was about. The middle of their second year, after they've been friends for 6 or so years, he punches her. His grades were low, he was skipping school to train, and she accused him of throwing away his life for the cause. He thinks planning for the future is stupid, when they might not have one. He didn't mean to hit her. She didn't mean to give him that ultimatum.

Ken misses the girls so much. He's got no one else but them. When he comes back, he's putting on a lighter attitude. Joking around with Makoto and Haru, after agreeing with Haru to at least pick a college with them. They're closer to being kids during that time then they ever were, now that the burden is shared a little. But Ken, he still knows there's little chance in their dreams coming true

Okay I went a little too off on them the rest will be shorter

Member 3, the World Arcana, Akira Kurusu. He's the fucking protagonist??

Member 4, the Lovers Arcana, Ann Takamaki.

Member 5, the Temperance Arcana, Yusuke Kitagawa.

Member 6, the Magician Arcana, Ryuji Sakamoto.

Member 7, the High Priestess Arcana, Futaba Sakura.

Member 8, the Aeon Arcana, Goro Akechi.

Member 9, the Strength Arcana, Morgana.

Member 10, the Justice Arcana, Shinya Oda.

I won't list the SEES arcana again but here's some others that aren't shown here!

Kasumi Yoshizawa, aka Maya, is the Hermit

Sumire Yoshizawa is the Chariot

Hifumi Togo is the Fortune

Caroline and Justice are Death

Devil is the same.

Yuuki Mishima is the Emperor

Munehisa Iwai is the Tower

Uh. The Sun. Maybe, Tae Takemi? I haven't done this social link ever in P3 so I'll iron it out later on

Shiho is around, she appears in a lot of the Chariot and Lovers ranks, as well as Emperor

Anyways. I do have more but most is on the senior trio I apologize

SEATTLE KRAKEN PLAYER PRIMER

I promised the beautiful @madroxed a Seattle Kraken current player primer so she can get into a West Coast (best coast) NHL team and then I went mad so it ended up too long for ask box without a read more. So here it is for your enjoyment, babe. 🦑

IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW:

1. When Kraken started playing their first season in 2021, there was a lot of discussion about the expansion plan, how many years they would take to become as successful as other expansion teams (cough VGK). That plan… has not fully panned out. So even though they made it to the playoffs last year, they're not super successful this season and likely won't squeeze their way into a wild card spot. This is okay because the Kraken are full of love.

2. This is important enough to say twice: THE KRAKEN PLAYERS ARE FULL OF LOVE. They don't need to be good if they're having fun and being friends! And they are!

3. Kraken has no captain right now, just four As. Democracy, baby! Every game there is tons of talk on reddit about how it's a good thing because it's made the guys closer, or how it's a bad thing because they don't have a leader and they keep losing. IDK, it's just our thing. There will be a C eventually.

4. There's a joke on tiktok that Kraken is a team of beautiful shy horses, treated badly on their last teams and now learning to love again. Keep this in mind when you see them interacting with Coach Hakstol. They all deserve to have their hooves (skates) farrier-ed gently, ribbons braided into their manes and to be tenderly fed sugar cubes. Anyways.

5. Haha, Seattle runs on love and tentacles.

THE OLDIES:

- Jordan Eberle (Jordy, Ebby, Ebs, Ebber) - Ebs was MY MAN for the longest time because I was soooo fond of him and the mid aughts pre-McDavid Oiler rookie crew. Now he's 33 years old, everyone calls him dad, and just had his 1000th game ceremony. It makes me verklempt.

He just signed a 2-yr contract this month, which people agree is mostly because of his role on the team and less because of his points (which are just okay).

He is also a noted Nickleback fan :(

Also, Jordan Eberle... naked... singing.

- Jared McCann (Canner, also Jordan's on-ice wife) - Kraken's lead scorer right now. Has the saddest backstory ever (he's had troubles with his teams since draft) but the Kraken team loves him. I love him too. Jordan was in his wedding party! Fun fact: Canner is the one who KISSED Ebs' head after an OT win this year, the organization framed & posted the picture, and it's the most romantic thing that has ever happened on Kraken ice. Recognized PC gamer boy. He also wears really really ugly hats with his game day suits.

- Philipp Grubauer (Grubi, The German Gentleman) - Gruuuuu. The more experienced goalie on the team. Noted horse girl (loves horses, there's a video all about his volunteer efforts with them). Gets a lot of undeserved shit from dude fans for being a conservative goalie, the man is NOT gonna move. He straight up close lined a player yesterday because they got too close to his crease lol.

- Vince Dunn - You already know this guy. Feral, but also submissive and breedable. I sent you the "screaming with a bloody face" vid but here's one where he drop gloves for a Matty hit and another from Juniors where he fights OFF ICE. His nickname is Dunner but because he's a pretty princess, he also goes by "Vincess" in hrpf. He's very popular this season both for his looks and his performance this season. Unfortunately injured right now due to a bad hit. Noted "gamer (fornite) boy" lol.

- Adam Larsson - You also know this guy. Big Cat. Quiet but a leader to the D rookies. Surprisingly funny - he's a silent prankster and the custom t-shirts this season with his face on it were a hit. Outside the hrpf space, he's engaged to a beautiful blonde Swede and about to be a dad this month.

- Jaden Schwartz (Schwartzy) - Peak millennial. Is it wrong that I think Schwartzy is the hottest Kraken after Vince? Because I don't care. He gives hot dad, with two dogs with girl names.

He changed his hockey number to match his sister's who died of cancer :'( Has been injured a lot this season and we miss him :'(

- Yanni Gourde (Gourdo) - FERAL!! FRENCH (CANADIAN)!!!! A tiktok star, sassy, charming, and also part of the team leadership.

Married and dad to little girls, who he has allowed Matty to babysit, if you can believe it. There was a super cute vid of them at the pumpkin patch this year. I'm a proud member of the GOURDO IS HOT club but even people with bad eyes and no love for goofy faces love Yanni.

- Andre Burakovsky (Burky) - You might remember him from his Cap or Av days. He's a beautiful little bird who is so good at scoring but so broken. The man has two Stanley Cups but he's played like 2 games for Kraken where he was both healthy & productive lol. People ship him with Gru sometimes in hrpf because they have cute nicknames for each other and also vacation together. He also just had a baby like two months ago so my sisters and I call him a teen mom even though he's like 29, lmaoo.

- Pierre-Edouard Bellemare (Belly) - His shirt is always off in every video I have ever seen him in. Handsome. Beard. French, like literally from France, but we won't hold it against him. He's an older guy who was brought in to help the team with offense (which we badly need).

- Oliver Bjorkstrand (Bjorky) - I always describe Bjorky as like a less handsome Dylan O'Brien if he played hockey. A chill, smiley dude who cares a lot. He played in Portland for the Winterhawks back in Juniors and I saw him a lot there! He's playing super well this year, he even was at the ASG!

THE YOUNG ONES:

- Matty Beniers (Matty, Benny) - OUR BEAUTIFUL FIRST DRAFT EVER. A baby boy. Ebs and Canner are his mom and dad. If you're on tiktok, he made that viral "Yes, Yes, Nope, Nope" sound while mic'd up.

He's growing up :') but also is having kind of a bad season :'( Part of the planned growth of the Kraken team though!

- Will Borgen (Borgy) - One of the baby D. He kinda looks like Canner but more frog. Matty and Borgy are roommates & pretty much BEST FRIENDS during the season. There's a lot of good locker room videos of them giving each other shit. He has also bullied Karts lol. Self describes himself as a little deer.

- Joey Daccord (Joey, Dacs) - Baby goalie. Gives the F1 recaps on tiktok. One of the biggest joys of my year so far was chanting "Joey" in the crowd after his shutout in the Winter Classic. Sometimes he strays too far from the net and makes boo boos. We love & cherish him.

- Kailer Yamamoto (Yamo, Yams, Yammer) - Little man. So little. Great at shootouts & stealing teammate's jerseys. He's the only Washingtonian on the team. Was a Oilers rookie and I've heard he featured in the whole Draisital hrpf narrative thing (idk I'm not an Oilers fan rn lol). Has a terrible goatee right now.

There's a funny af tweet about a reporter seeing a huge cheering section for him at a game and assumed it was friends & family but went over and it was just random people rooting for Yamo purely because he's short.

- Ryker Evans - The newest baby D. Has the deadest eyes you will ever see but he also spent an entire Firebirds youtube interview series just hanging out in a child's pool. He's played great since being called up from the Firebirds and we love him. So new he doesn't have a Breaking the Ice sheet yet :( Also his middle name is GARTH!

- Tye Kartye (Karts) - It's important that you know his last name is pronounced like "Cart-che" but even the announcers say "Car-ti-eh" like the jewelry brand. A quiet-ish sweetheart but also kind of spicy while playing. Rooms with Ryker. They're flirty and have been since the Firebirds. Scored his first NHL goal in his first NHL game, during the Kraken's first ever playoffs!

- Cale (& Haydn) Fleury - REAL LIFE BROTHERS. Not actually related to Flower. Haydn is on the Lightning now and we miss him. Cale mostly plays for the Firebirds but he's developing well and has gotten called up several times this season.

- Ryan Winterton (Wints) - A goofy little baby. He's still playing mostly with the Firebirds but he had his NHL debut this season.

- Shane Wright - I don't actually know his nickname. (EDIT: I have been informed it is Shaner or Wrighter!) Big boy. Our SECOND DRAFT EVER. Playing with the minor leagues right now. We'll see him playing a line on Kraken next season or so, probably (?). If Coach Dave is willing.

THE OTHERS (THAT I OFTEN FORGET ABOUT):

- Brandon Tanev - Turbo. He's fast. Has beautiful long hair. Keeps getting hit by pucks because he's in the way. Fun fact: he helped start the 'Kraken are horses' thing because there was a video on Tiktok where an equipment manager was adjusting his skates and they used a hoof care video sound and it went viral. We might lose him when he's a free agent and that's fine.

- Jamie Oleksiak - Big Rig, Riggy. In my shit list right now because he's playing bad and I hate his stupid credit card commercial that they always play during games. Member of the 'my sister is prettier and a better athlete than me' club. People speculate there's a chance we might lose him over the summer when his no-trade clause opens up as well. He's often Borgy's d-partner, and he and Borgy are very very sweet though.

- Tomas Tatar - Tuna, he's fun and nice. I like his accent. Sometimes I forget he exists.

- Eeli Tolvanen - Tolvy. I also sometimes forget about him. Sorry. He's a buddy to everyone on the team though.

- Justin Shultz - Shultzy, he's fine. Gets injured a lot. Not the best player. I think we're gonna lose him eventually too.

- Brian Dumoulin - Dumo, he's also fine. He's won a couple Stanley Cups. Cute baby face for an older player but he gives a kinda empty brain, 'there's not a thought behind those eyes' feeling lol.

HOPE THIS HELPS. I ALSO HOPE THEY DON'T CRUSH THIS PRIMER OVER THE OFF SEASON WITH TRADES LOL but who knows. Whatever happens, happens. Just remember this team runs on love (and tentacles).

Descriptions Under Cut!

Sushi:

Sushila is a very energetic and happy person who does their best to make other's day brighter! Gets along with their mother very well. Not sure if you wanted info from all steps but I'll but some stuff just in case (if not needed then just ignore it lol)

Step 1: Not at all bothered by moving to a new town, is actually very excited!! She meets Qiu first, calling him cute when they first meet. She also calls Tamarack cute when she meets her. Sushi develops a crush on both! (also calls Darren cute but Darren doesn't like girls- and Sushi is counted as a girl- so…) Likes just about everyone he meets, and isn't really bothered by many things. He does prefer the woods over the city though! He finds bugs nice.

Step 2: A bit more closed off, Sushi struggles a bit with their gender as they grow up and see not everyone excepts them as they are. Still has a crush on both Qiu and Tamarack, but isn't has joyful around them all the time. He still hangs out with them a bunch, and also becomes closer friends with Ren. Not much info about them here :(

Step 3: Probably confesses to both love interests!! (may not be canon if GB doesn't add a poly route but Sushi defo ends up dating both if given the opportunity) Back to being super energetic, and no longer too worried about how others see her! Gets along with Renee and can relate to the gender struggles with herself, Renee, and Qiu. Very wholesome.

STEP 1: To Willow, being new wasn't new: he built his identity upon miscellaneous traits he collected while moving from neighborhood to neighborhood, city to city, state to state, and country to country.

Fitting in isn't hard; it's Willow's specialty, but knowing they're coming to Golden Grove to stay brings about other anxieties.

Now have a bunch of random stuff abt them :D

they're tall

he's very chill

their favourite colours are gold and cranberry

they have a stuffed elephant

he usually doesn't care about most stuff happening, but likes to go along with whatever his friends want to do

they're kinda blunt

he dotes on people a lot, even if he doesn't know them very well, but each time someone mentions it he changes the subject

he loves nature

they find school really easy as a kid but start struggling with it more as they grow up

As a kid he tries to appear likeable when he meets new people, but the more he gets used to staying in one place, the less he tries

they don't remember where the scar on their face comes from

he mostly wears gold and black clothes

they prefer not to talk when they don't need to

they like to be referred to as Misc. Willow Amir because miscellaneous is their favourite word

he gets shy when you mention his eyes

despite his cold and direct demanor, he loves playing pranks on people

they like collecting little sentimental treasures that remind them of specific memories (ex: the paper airplane)

he's very close to his ma -they like learning little things about people (not basic stuff like favourite colours, they don't care abt that)

he has a soft voice

they're ambidextrous

they only wear one earring because they lost the other one and think it's cool that it's out there somewhere and it makes them feel connected to the rest of the world

he doesn't have a nickname in step 1 but will get one later on

his birthday is december 1st

he's a little clumsy

they don't mind giving things up if someone else wants them

Aoi’s childhood headcanons

-Between her parents, Aoi is closer to her father: a firefighter with the voice and build of a grizzly bear, and a big bleeding heart for his little girl. When he isn't running into burning buildings, he's an amateur cook who enjoys being outside by the grill. He'd often host big cookouts for his firefighter buddies who'd come over. From him, Aoi developed a sense of fulfillment and joy in cooking for others. 

-Her father was a rockhead in his youth. As a way around his wife's firm rule that Aoi shouldn't attend "rowdy, dangerous" concerts, he shares all his favorite CDs with his daughter. When it's his turn to drive Aoi to school, they'd headbang and sing along to rock music the whole way down. Their special song is "Sweet Child O' Mine" by Guns N' Roses.

(The above two headcanons are based on the little factoids on Aoi's ring and CD found in the game, both of which were cherished gifts from her father. I assume that she's very close to him. Makes me wonder about her relationship with her mother. Which leads me to…)

-Aoi's mother is a business consultant who works from home. She is a nervous, anxious woman who can be micromanaging and overbearing. Unlike with her father, Aoi isn't very close to her. They're civil toward each other and never fight, never in dramatic shouting matches. But there's a quiet distance between the two, like a tightrope neither of them cross. As the rock of reason and order between the two parents, her mother instilled in Aoi the discipline and seriousness she applied to school and the way she carried herself. Further distancing their relationship is the fact that her mother is very allergic to all things furry, making Aoi smother her desire to have a cat or a dog.

(Screenshot from the part where Aoi’s phone gets a not-so-garbled text toward the end of Harmony route. I like to think that the text came from her worrywart of a mother. Her mom being allergic to dogs vs the idea of Labramon coming home with Aoi would be a ripe source of drama and conflict, a good thing to write about.)

-The most embarrassing thing that ever happened to Aoi is caught in a home video her mother had taken: when Aoi was very little, she declared that she wanted to marry her father. When she was told no, because Mama was already married to Papa, she burst into tears and threw a tantrum on the floor. Every time the memory is even mentioned, Aoi wants to crawl under a rock and die of embarrassment.

-Despite being an only child, Aoi doesn't get lonely. She prefers spending her free time with her nose buried in a good book. She has a weakness for romantic historical fiction and sentimental dog stories, which easily move her to tears.

-As an honor student she excels in all subjects, though if she had to pick a favorite, it would be language arts and literature. She loves learning about other cultures and points of view through books.

-Aoi's bedroom is made of 1/2 books, 1/2 stuffed animals. She's very good about cleaning her own space because if her mother did it for her, she'd complain about all the plushies cluttering up the room and tell Aoi to give them away.

-Aoi had her first period shortly after turning eleven, which involved the second most embarrassing moment in her life: getting blood all over the back of her skirt and not realizing it until she left a stain in her seat at school and classmates pointed it out. It didn’t help that since then she gets insanely painful, heavy periods where she passes out if she doesn’t take her pain meds and iron. Wearing snug dark pants during that time of the month became part of her regular aesthetic.

-Since grade school, Aoi could get along with her classmates easily enough, but never really made friends. Her peers only ever bothered with her for homework answers and as a way to shirk classroom chores. Being used made her sad, even angry sometimes, but she never openly made a fuss and bottled it all up for years.

-Aoi may be an only child, but she has a lot of aunts, uncles, and cousins who regularly visit, and she's part of a large Buddhist family. A few of her cousins and uncles are monks. One of them is a hermit cut off from civilization, last seen somewhere in the mountains of China, someone she always hears about but has never met. Her great-grandfather was a scientist in Unit 731 during World War II, an absolute psychopath infamous for conducting inhumane experiments like vivisections on war prisoners. For a long time, Aoi thought she was the most plain and boring member of her colorful family. (Until she met Labramon, anyway.)

[meet the prisoners!] prisoner 009: kuroki riku

HE'S HERE i was so excited to post him tbh. i'm not sure if i'm satisfied with his design and i feel like i could do more with it, but for now.. it's fine, i can work with it.

also, his image color was supposed to be a dark shade of green at first, but then i was like. it probably won't look that original because i already have asahi and naomi (yes, naomi's color is closer to teal and asahi's color is very bright compared to what i planned for riku, but still) and i'm still salty because of how similar akio and shun's colors turned out to be, so. yes, he's an orange boy now. and i feel like it fits his personality better!

General info:

Name: Kuroki Riku (黒木俐暮) (his last name means "black" and "tree" and his first name means "sharp, clever" and "evening, dusk")

Age: 17 y/o

Gender: Male

Status: Prisoner 009

Birthday: April 7 (Aries)

Blood type: AB

Height: 173 cm

Image color: #FF8746

Occupation: High school student (second year)

Personality: If Kei is the most extroverted male prisoner, then Riku is a close second. He's very friendly, outgoing and if anyone wants to talk about anything, he's always there to do just that and he's okay with both talking and simply listening. Also there's just something about him that just makes him impossible to hate, Riku even managed to convince Akio to become friends with him. No wonder he was the most popular boy in his school and he had so many fans and secret admirers. Even though Riku seems like the chill type, he's actually surprisingly rebellious, though some people can tell that from his appearance: they're sure he got in trouble multiple times because of him going to a school with a strict dress code and having a style like that. Riku is okay with doing anything if it means he won't have to deal with something he doesn't like/doesn't want to happen: after he was told that he can get voted guilty, he simply flirted with one of the guards and successfully made her want to vote him innocent even though she got a bad feeling after watching his MV. Overall, Riku seems like a very nice guy, but in a place like Milgram, his kindness only makes him look even more suspicious. Riku is also very insensitive and he doesn't take things like death and murder seriously and when one of the guards warned him about the punishment he can receive after being voted guilty, he stayed calm because he thought "it won't be that bad". He also often asks other prisoners about their crimes even if they find the topic uncomfortable and he can easily turn a conversation like that into a guessing game because for him Milgram is just that: a game.

MV info:

Which canon Milgram song he would cover: Backdraft. First of all, he was in a band, I JUST KNOW HIS COVER WOULD SOUND SO GOOD and also.. Riku is actually kinda Fuuta-coded.

Which DECO*27 song he would cover: Ghost Rule BECAUSE IF WE'RE NOT GETTING A GHOST RULE COVER FROM ES MY SON WILL DO IT HIMSELF also i think it would sound nice

If he could cover a song by a different Vocaloid producer, which one would it be: .. It was so hard to find a "spoiler-free" song for him 😭😭 Like I KNOW what songs would be perfect for him, but. I think it's too early to give him something like that, so let's go with Nh-Uh-Uh by SLAVE.V-V-R for now because 1) him getting this song is really funny because Riku is a pretty loud guy and this song obviously needs a more "whispery" voice except for that one part and 2) the lyrics actually have his vibe.

His MV description:

His MV would have lots of warm colors, like yellow, orange and red, but some moments would have much darker and colder colors, like gray, black and dark green.

His MV starts with Riku and his friends preparing for a school concert and it looks like someone is taking photos of them and Riku doesn't mind, he's actually enjoying the attention. It looks like Riku is very popular: he has a lot of friends, he's the band leader and many girls want to talk to him, even though they're too shy to do that.

The concert finally starts and Riku is performing with his band. Everyone is having fun, including the band, and the chorus ends with Riku saying something like "Let me see you jump" and jumping himself, but right as he does that, he notices a white-haired boy in the crowd staring at him and showing no emotions at all. Riku looks shocked and he ends up falling, his friends look concerned and they try to help him get up. Riku continues singing, even though now he looks scared and he doesn't want to be there. After the concert, Riku is crying and his friends are trying to calm him down.

The scene suddenly changes and now we can see that white-haired boy crying in Riku's arms and even though Riku is hugging him and smiling at him, his eyes look empty and you can tell that he's not being sincere. Now Riku is sitting alone in his room and the colors are mostly gray and black. He's reading texts from his friends and we can't see most of them, but one of them makes Riku drop his phone: "Hey, but he really is talented, don't you think?" He is panicking and it's getting hard for him to breathe and he doesn't pay any attention to his phone's broken screen. He quickly grabs his guitar and the chorus starts playing again, but now Riku is singing alone in his room, without his friends, and he's still crying. He jumps in the end, just like he did that last time and he suddenly falls from his bed. It looks painful, but for some reason.. Riku starts smiling and his eyes are sparkling.

The colors are even warmer than before now and we can see Riku putting a note in somebody's locker and smiling, but something about his smile just.. doesn't feel right and it looks really creepy. Now we can see the school rooftop and Riku is standing there, waiting for someone and watching the sunset. He turns around and his smile is even wider now, it looks like that person he's been waiting for is finally here. The lyrics say that now Riku can finally tell that someone about his "true feelings".

Riku and his band are having a concert on the school rooftop, but something about all of this feels wrong. Riku's smile still doesn't look like the one he had in the beginning, his friends look just as insane as him and we can't see the person he was supposed to meet with. We can't see the audience either- oh, we're the audience actually. Hey, why is he getting so close. Hey, wasn't he supposed to do that jumping part again-

He repeats the "Let me see you jump" line, but now he's no longer smiling and he looks like he hates us. He gets close enough to the camera to push us.

Trailer 1 Voicelines:

"Hiiii!~ My name is Kuroki Riku! You've probably heard about me, I'm kinda famous online, haha. Hey, do you want an autograph? Anyway, nice to meet you- You want to know more about my crime? Well, I wouldn't call it that.. I did everyone a favor by getting rid of that person, actually."

"Hey, dude.. I know, life can be hard, but can you just.. stop venting to me all the time? Like, I would love to help you, but I'm not your therapist, you know? Come on, just calm down.. hey, I told you to stop.. JUST SHUT UP ALREADY!"

Trivia:

Murder is his only crime and he had only one victim.

He doesn't take Milgram seriously and thinks that a "guilty verdict" doesn't even exist. So yes, he thinks he'll be voted innocent.

He is very good at singing and playing the guitar and he had an interest in music since childhood. And as he mentions in his voicelines, he's very popular online and he often posts rock covers and original songs. He also wants to understand how MVs work and he would love to hear a song that the guards heard while watching his video.

Riku is a lot like younger version of Kei, if you think about it, however, Kei's reputation is much worse and he doesn't even try to act like a good person, meanwhile Riku at least appears to be someone who's very kind and his reputation is much better.

Riku always proudly says that he's friends with all the prisoners, but it's hard to say if he actually likes spending time with them or he's just being polite. You can often see him with Aimi, but if you pay attention, you'll notice that he actually looks bored and he doesn't enjoy talking to her that much. He's definitely close with Akio though and they get along really well even though their personalities are so different. It looks like Akio enjoys the attention he gets from Riku a lot and Riku is only glad to have someone he can be so affectionate with. Both of them are also surprisingly protective of each other. But Akio most likely has a soft spot for Riku simply because Riku looks a lot like his "most loyal follower". Akio and Riku also share a lot of similarities, like being popular boys, refusing to admit that they did something bad and having moments in their MVs that imply that these boys are more insecure than you would think.

The boy from Riku's MV actually didn't have any feelings for him or anything like that. He definitely was obsessed with him but not in that way.

I just think it's neat how the last male prisoner's name has a kanji that means "rising sun" meanwhile Riku's name has a kanji that means "evening". I also think it's cool because Asahi is like.. someone you would expect to have a more cute personality, but he's actually one of the most rude prisoners here, meanwhile Riku is supposed to have a more intimidating vibe because of his style but his personality isn't that bad.. but also, when you start learning more about them, you realize that Asahi is still a scared child and Riku is more cruel than you thought he is.

Summer of Strawberry Shortcake: Rockaberry Roll

This is the actual start of season four, with aged up designs for all the main characters, but only some of the other characters. Strangely, Blueberry Muffin has an aged up design in the official art, but not in the cartoon, which is especially egregious considering she's as much a main character as Peppermint Fizz, who did get an aged up design (and is much more prominent this season). The other oddity is that of the three international friends that are included in the intro (and show up in the first episode), only one got an aged up design (Tangerina Torta got one, too, but she won't show up until the next DVD). You would think that since season four's intro got custom animation, they would have only included characters with new designs, but ah well. The main point of them being in the intro at all is to show what they're doing in Strawberryland again without dedicating an episode to it. Speaking of, I have to apologize to Frosty Puff, since I previously mentioned that she didn't get to do anything outside of her brief appearance in season three, but she's here and we even see her ice skating (practicing for the talent show). I don't remember if she shows up again, but I also haven't seen half of this season (the episodes released after Berry Bitty Adventures' DVDs started coming out), so she might.

Watching all these episodes so close together has made me realize how often working together is the lesson du jour, and this one is no exception, even if the girls are older now. Come to think of it, how far into the future are we supposed to be now? Apple Dumplin' had the most dramatic redesign, so if she was 1 at the start and probably 2 by season three, and now looks to be at least 7 or 8, then we're at least 5 years ahead, if not slightly more.

I don't remember if we ever learned how old anyone else was, but assuming Strawberry was 8 at the start, maybe 9 by season three, then the main girls are between 13 and 16, probably closer to the latter since Strawberry drives a car in a future episode. But it's a cartoon, so who's to say.

The best part of the first ep, besides seeing everyone's talents, was the fact that Custard picked Huckleberry Pie and Peppermint Fizz to be judges with her. This was probably meant to imitate the American Idol judges, but I'd like to think that her choices had to do with her friendship with Huck, and her assumption that Peppermint Fizz would bring her usual caustic attitude, unaware that the Peppermint Fizz of season four is a nicer, gentler Peppermint Fizz.

Not that she doesn't still have her moments. I liked the second episode because it gave us a reason for her change in attitude, showing that she spent her time not in season three being introspective about what she really wants: friendship. Though being Peppermint Fizz, she still gets the wrong idea about how to go about it, thinking she has to fit in with the main group in order to be friends, when I'm pretty sure Strawberry already considered her a friend all the way back in season two. ALSO, since when is she a trumpet player? She apparently already had the trumpet, so she wasn't just making that up to join the band. But what happened to her tuba? What made her abandon it in favor of the trumpet? And what made her start playing the tuba in the first place? Sadly, we will never get these answers.

Another question that will go unanswered is what was up with Huck and Strawberry rapping? Please don't do that again.

This DVD marks another first in the SSC legacy: the first time coloring pages were included as a special feature! These would continue to be included into the BBA era (sometimes being the only special feature), but this is where it got started.

Notes from the script: the first episode has a ton of good directions, such as Angel Cake "sparking to [Strawberry's idea] slowly" with Ginger Snap "really sparking," and Custard's "pouty-lip," but for some reason it cuts off before the actual end of the episode, ending right after the song. And the second episode has lots of good Peppermint stuff, like her having "wrongheaded joy" when she's going to join the band, thinking this will give her an in, and she tells a "hopeful lie to self" to gloss over her bad playing.

Character Intro: Telete (Kingdom of Ichor)

My Light by her mother

Tee-Tee by her family

Age- 13 (immortal)

Location- Hearthwood neighborhood, New Olympus

Personality- The "baby" in her group of cousins, she's sweetly innocent, sheltered, & unassuming. She's wholeheartedly focused in the potential of good in all beings.

She has the standard abilities of a goddess except shapeshifting. She shares abilities with her family members like limited photokinesis, ambrosia manipulation, having an eidetic memory, and blessing bestowment. Her other ability is vitakinesis (healing).

Telete is the only child of Ikesía, the youngest of The Litae. The both of them live at their house in the Hearthwood neighborhood of New Olympus. Her bedroom is in pastel hues of pink, lavender, silver, & mint. Framed inspirational quotes are posted all over the walls along with posters of her favorite deities she holds in high esteem. There's also string lights strewn decoratively about.

Her mom's griffin gave birth to three fledglings some time back and before they were scheduled to be adopted, Telete had her pick of one to be her animal companion. She went with the runt of the litter- a boy she named Bronzequill. When the mom was unable to nurse, Telete took on the responsibility, feeding him every three hours. She smiles at how fast he's grown- his strong hind legs & impressive shriek of a roar! In just a couple of years, Bronzequill may be large enough for her to ride!

A go-to drink for her is white grape juice. She also likes the banana milkshakes from The Frozen Spoon, ginger ale, lemon-lime soda, mint infused sparkling water, apple juice, and lychee juice. Her usuals from The Roasted Bean ia a medium iced green tea & a large coconut lychee splash.

There's a simple gold pearl pendant necklace (gifted to her by her mom) which she always wears.

Telete describes her personal style as "glamour doll preppy." Her closet is filled with conservatively minded printed tennis skirts, oversized cardigan sweaters, mary janes, ballet flats, tweed jackets, pastel colors, and chic peasant sleeved tops.

She loves her long thick curls! Her favorite products to use is the Glory's Crown marshmallow & babassu oil whipped curl creme and the Hairology 2-in-1 coconut milk & tumeric shampoo/conditioner.

Telete & her mom have a very close relationship. On saturday (a day before church), she'll surprise her mom with breakfast in bed. They'll end up spending the entire day in bed- knitting, sewing, reading, and watching wholesome family films. Even though Telete feels like she can talk to her mom about almost anything, there's a secret or two she keeps under lock & key.

Her relationship with the rest of the family are fairly ok. She sometimes feels like the odd one out when she hangs out with her cousins Epidotes and Pompe beacuse of the fact that they're closer. Telete does like her aunt Lití's homemade sourdough bread.

She loves wearing the LipCalm tinted lip balm in "watermelon summer."

A typical breakfast for her is a bowl of vanilla spice oatmeal topped with plain yogurt, crushed walnuts, & chopped pecans.

Within the family business, Telete's usually the errand girl- whether it's looking through the extensive record of scrolls, going for a coffee run, or getting paper orders from Chartí & Meláni, the stationery store owned by Philyra (goddess of perfume, paper, & beauty).

A guilty pleasure of hers are the extra crispy chicken wings from Olympic Chef- the crispier, the better! She'll treat herself to an order of 10 wings every other week, preferring to eat them with no sauce.

Telete's on break from school. She attends the same school in the city as her cousins & she's an exceptional student! She's even the student council secretary. The "Drool Crew" nickname does hurt a bit, but she tries not to let it get to her. She's friendly with Pandia (goddess of the full moon), Achelois (goddess of the moon & comfort), Philia (goddess of friendship), and is even courteous towards Anaideia (goddess of ruthlessness, shamelessness, & unforgiveness) even if it's not always reciprocated. She's also friends with Calocagathia (Aggie) (goddess of nobility & goodness)- even spending time outside of school where they can be more free & laidback.

Her favorite sandwich is the grilled chicken caprese panini from The Bread Box.

Her all time favorite dessert from Hollyhock's Bakery is the banana pudding cheesecake!

In the pantheon she also admires & looks up to Hestia (goddess of the hearth), Nephele (goddess of clouds), Soteria (goddess of safety), Paregoros (Rae) (goddess of soothing words), Eudaimonia (goddess of happiness), Arete (goddess of virtue, valor, & excellence), Elpis (goddess of hope), Aletheia (goddess of truth), Homonoia (goddess of concord), and Pistis (goddess of trust, reliability, & good faith).

The biggest secret that Telete's been keeping from her family is that she has a boyfriend! She's been talking to Zale, a merguy who moved from the Underwater realm (who's also a student) for a few weeks. They first struck up a conversation during a school assembly when they were randomly seated together and things picked up from there when it was also discovered that they shared the same study hall period. Telete remembers everything about her first kiss with him- the way he moved a lock of her hair behind her ear, the way he smelled of aftershave and seaweed, the attractive way he licked his lips, & how he lightly traced her bottom lip with his thumb before moving in. Telete likes the fact that he's a "good boy with a bad boy aesthetic"- leather jacket, piercing dark blue eyes, and long black hair with the sides of his head shaved. Zale's also a total gentlemen- holding out doors for her and carrying her books if no one's paying attention to them. Because of the school's rumor mill (and other reasons), their relationship is on the down low. They try not to even exchange glances with each other while at school. The only free time they have to see each other is during study hall, where Zale found a blindspot in one of the staircases! Their first official date was at the movie theater after Telete left her class at Kyría Aristeía under the guise that she was running an errand for Eusebeia.

Her other extracurriculars include volunteering at the Psomí & Zoí soup kitchen. Telete calls herself the supreme master at cutting off the crusts on the moussaka sandwiches.

She's well aware that her mom is looking through candidates for her for a "possible coupling" when she's older.

On her smartphone, Zale's contact is saved under the name "Amalia."

Some of Telete's favorite dishes to cook are green bean casserole, garlic mashed potatoes, and white rice with okra stew.

In her free time she enjoys bike riding, gardening, yoga, knitting, cooking, doing lanyard, reading, and spending time with family.

"Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul."

[aresmarked]

I took my time to go through everything you listed, and it was nice to see them gradually getting closer. Excuse me if I ramble now since I have so many thoughts. When looking through the birthday cards, I was actually reminded that Ichika’s birthday is coming up! I checked her previous card and saw that Mafuyu did send a message, so I wonder if she will now? If so, what voice will she go with? Another thing I was reminded of with the birthday cards is an interesting detail in Mafuyu’s. Kanade apologizes to her privately for possibly revealing too much when advising Ichika and Honami what to get. It’s wild because they’re so close to Kanade and Mafuyu, and I’m so curious about how they’ll react to Mafuyu’s true self. They’re like at the edge. So many hints like how Mafuyu has shared a niigo video, and they know she’s the lyricist. Ichika understands the responsibility of being class representative (though she didn’t necessarily strive for the position). Honami parallels her as an honor student. They’ve had an event together! I’m gnawing- (1/)

PLEASE TELL ME YOU GOT THE LAST ASK BECAUSE MY INTERNET WAS LAGGING. But continuing on from there, reading the Draw Your Bow card stories again reminded me of why I’m saving for that event haha. I like to think it’s a nice memory for Mafuyu, and I hope she can sincerely open up to Shizuku one day. Random but I don’t know how likely this is, but I watched a prsk drum cover earlier and thought it’d be neat if somehow after Honami spots Mafuyu at Kanade’s (if it happens), she can improvise some spontaneous drumming with stuff around the kitchen. Her drumming has been described as calming before so you know? Is this a silly thought haha (2/2)

Hrhrhr, yknow, I do still have submissions on, if that's easier?

Ichika I imagine will get a well-wishing from Mafuyu, as both Ena and Mizuki came out to celebrate An, even with all that's going on. She just may not be in attendance for any direct celebrations, but they do share time together, as both class reps and with the results of Intersecting Melodies, as you say.

Mafuyu's circle of acquaintances has definitely expanded, even as it's only currently Niigo in the know, so chances are it'll take folk by surprise, but I'm sure they'll react kindly. They're on the path of becoming friends who know her and that she can rely on, even if right now I'd probably say it's still at a point where Mafuyu wouldn't be leaning on them. As is they're at a point where they have Maf go to Sekai when Honami comes over, but I do think we'll see more of Mafuyu interacting with the other group's music/performances, as we've gotten a bit before (her finding street music a bit loud but not hating it, WxS shows, stuff at festivals).

While I maybe don't see Honami doing just a drumming session for Maf at Kanade's house, I could see leo/need's music becoming a boon to Mafuyu. VBS is a little odd one out since they're more focused on creating an event, but every other groups share a commonality in their desire to reach people's hearts, give em hope. I think it would be a fun thing to have more music mixing. Actually, I'm reminded that in Shizuku's cards there's interaction with her and Mizuki that has the latter wondering about if Kanade could write an idol song (I'd imagine a ballad), then a collab could be possible, and given the writers' known propensity for setting up little interactions in the cards, I'm hopeful. it comes from my idolmaster days but i could absolutely see something akin to nemurihime in feel being thrown to the MMJ girls.

but circling back to the overall, i'm sure we'll see more of mafuyu opening up, the question is just of how, and i'm excited for the answers colopale has set up to provide~

Boruto Oneshots by Booktoon4

Anime » Boruto: Naruto Next Generations Rated: T, English, Romance & Friendship, Mitsuki, Chocho A., Words: 6k+, Favs: 14, Follows: 9, Published: Nov 6, 2018 Updated: Mar 18, 2019

8Chapter 1

Here's my Boruto oneshots!

The main couple is Mitsuki x Chocho, with others thrown in at times.

These oneshots will have no connection to one another (unless mentioned at the beginning of the small chapter).

I don't own Boruto, it belongs to Ukyo Kodachi.

Please enjoy!

Oneshot #1 – Feeding Time

Golden eyes were focused on the pair nearby. Mitsuki's attention normally didn't waiver, but he was very curious. He could see Boruto lean forward, aiming for Sarada's hand. Taking a bite out of a meat bun, Boruto made a pleased noise. Turning back to his own girlfriend, Mitsuki tilted his head.

"Chocho? What is it they're doing?"

The girl stopped her talking about a new flavor of chips to focus on what Mitsuki asked. Looking over at the other couple in the vicinity, Chocho smiled.

"That? Oh they're just feeding each other." Seeing confusion still on his face, she elaborated. "It's a thing couples do sometimes. It can be seen as romantic, as a way to feel close your partner. Or even because you genuinely just want to feed them and watch them be happy." Finished explaining, Chocho thought that was the end of it.

But then Mitsuki's eyes drifted down to the intact chip that she held.

"Do you want to try it, too?" Seeing his enthusiastic nod, she smiled at her boyfriend. She waited, patiently holding a chip between two fingers.

Mitsuki felt honored as he always did when Chocho offered to share her food with him. Usually they passed the meal back and forth between them. Though something about this felt different. A good different, which was interesting for Mitsuki. Not being well versed in verbalizing emotions, he decided to trust his instincts.

Chocho's cheeks became warm as he leaned closer. She didn't know why this felt so intimate. Much more than she had been anticipating. Maybe it had to also do with the fact that Mitsuki held eye contact throughout the whole thing.

"Ah." Mitsuki made sure to do this part, since learning that people spoke the word before consuming food. His hand stretched out, coming to rest atop Chocho's shaking one. It wasn't all that noticeable and he wasn't sure she was aware, but his actions lessened the trembling somewhat.

Observing her face, Mitsuki saw that Chocho blushed even deeper. Noticing her eyes had become slightly dilated, he decided that his girlfriend was adorable. Becoming this worked up over feeding him was cute.

Oh.

So that's what made this different from other times they've shared food together. Mitsuki smiled, eyes gleaming with the newfound conclusion.

Chocho saw the change right away. "Babe?" Everything okay?" Chocho was curious about what had her boyfriend now smiling, when they hadn't even done anything yet.

"I'm alright. I just realized something."

"Yeah? What was that?"

The whole chip being engulfed hadn't been what she expected. She let out a giggle that made Mitsuki's bulged cheeks smile. Chewing the rest of his bite, he swallowed before once more focusing on Chocho's digits. Mitsuki's warm tongue trailed along her fingers. The remaining salt was swept off in one swipe. His actions caused Chocho to have a full body shiver.

"This experience has shown me how flustered you can get. While also being so enthralling." Mitsuki said this so honest and straightforward, that Chocho felt so much love for him. Cupping his cheeks, she leaned forward. Their noses touched in a gentle eskimo kiss. Mitsuki hummed, eyes closing in contentment.

Oneshot #2 – The Fight

She fought to catch her breath. Slumped on a lamp post, Chocho tried to sense where her assailant was. A fiery blast shot into an adjacent building. Chocho ducked down, before running ahead. Going around the side of the building, she was flung forward when another attack struck. This time it had barely missed her feet, a hot wave making the back of her legs sweat.

"You have to run faster. If you don't want to end up charred by my flames." Her attacker was close enough to hear the echoing voice, but Chocho couldn't see him. Enlarging her hand into her Partial Transformation Jutsu, she readied herself for an attack.

Her pursuer leapt out of the shadows. Only to have long limbs wrap around him the moment he did.

Slamming the guy into the concrete wall, Mitsuki watched as a trickle of blood slid out from under his short blonde hair.

"Sorry for the late arrival." Mitsuki's yellow eyes were illuminated in the dark, almost glowing. A frown marred his face, betraying his fury even though his voice was calm.

"What's this? Another ninja? Well no matter, I'll capture him too." Igniting his entire body with flames, the stranger forced Mitsuki to let him go.

Leaping out of the way, the young ninja went over to where his girlfriend stood. Sharing a glance, Mitsuki nodded at Chocho's wordless command. Charging up his Snake Lightning, Mitsuki went low aiming for the man's legs. Chocho went high, her focus being to hit his head.

What the two ninja didn't count on was for the assailant to release a volley of fireballs. Large ones that Mitsuki and Chocho didn't have time to dodge. Acting fast, Chocho redirected her punch towards the ground. A large slab came up, which Mitsuki pulled Chocho down to crouch behind.

With each minute, the structure grew weaker and weaker. Mitsuki watched as bits of the edge were reduced to ash, his mind whirling to figure out a plan. Thinking of one, Mitsuki whispered in Chocho's ear. "I'll sneak up from underground and use my Soft Physique Modification. While I distract him, you attack."

Chocho looked at her boyfriend, whose gaze was confident. "Alright." Chocho then felt her arm grow smaller as she powered down her attack. Her next move would require something more special. She then saw Mitsuki dig underneath the asphalt, not wasting a second more.

Their assailant had not noticed what they were doing. He had not yet stopped his barrage of fire attacks. Thus, it gave Mitsuki and Chocho an advantage.

Using his arm technique, Mitsuki had the fiend immobile once again. In a matter of seconds, Chocho felt her body lose the last of her chubbiness, before rapidly gaining strength in exchange.

Bright pink light lit up the alley and the surrounding area. Mitsuki didn't bother to shield his eyes, since the screaming abruptly stopped. Chocho's powerful technique dwindled down, and Mitsuki could tell that the assailant was dead.

"Good work, Chocho." He could tell that she was breathing harder. Using that jutsu took more effort, and yet she was still standing. He really admired Chocho's power and ability to persist under pressure.

It was late at night when the pair finally exited the alley, after being questioned by authorities. Mitsuki took Chocho to eat at Ichiraku's. She deserved a treat after that awful ordeal. During the walk over there, Mitsuki supposed he could eat as well.

"Thanks for doing this, babe! I really appreciate it." Chocho stopped chewing on her dumplings to look across from her. Mitsuki was enjoying a small bowl of ramen, while Chocho herself had ramen and dumplings.

"You're welcome. I'm just glad you're alright." When he had known that she was in trouble, he had a split second of blind panic. After that, Mitsuki was racing towards where he last felt Chocho's chakra signature. He was thankful to arrive in time to help her.

Mitsuki's smile made her own grow wider. Chocho was lucky to have him.

3: Pet Store

Here the next oneshot

The main couple is Mitsuki x Chocho, with others thrown in at times.

These oneshots will have no connection to one another (unless mentioned at the beginning of the small chapter).

Oneshot #3 – Pet Store

Chocho was a little nervous. But she tried to steel her nerves as she took another step, bringing her closer to the store. Once inside, she barely blinked before her boyfriend was off. Chocho chuckled, Mitsuki could barely contain himself during the drive over. He kept on chattering about the numerous snake facts he knew.

Having been to this store more than once, she wasn't surprised that he had mapped out the reptile location.

Waving slightly at the employee, Chocho tried not to show her nervousness. But from a sympathetic smile, the woman figured it out anyway.

Well, at least Mitsuki looked like he was in heaven.

"Chocho, come look at this one!"

His voice reverberated throughout the store, not too far from where his girlfriend was standing. Chocho felt herself smile. From just his voice alone, she could tell that Mitsuki was really excited. He had been wanting a snake for a while.

The school dorms hadn't allowed pets during their time at the academy, but now both Chocho and Mitsuki had graduated. Thus, the first thing that her boyfriend wanted after they got an apartment was a pet snake. He had gotten all of the necessary supplies, all that was needed was their pet.

Walking over to Mitsuki she followed where his finger was pointing. A small snow corn snake was slithering about in its small habitat. She crouched down so she could see it better. Its body slowly uncoiled itself.

"I think he likes me. Watch this." Mitsuki began moving his index finger around in a slow circle. Chocho watched in surprise as the snake's tiny head followed the pattern. She suppressed a shiver when its mouth opened wide, after her boyfriend did so.

Mitsuki cocked his head, and chuckled when his movements were copied again. "Animals are intelligent. This snake in particular. We should get this one."

As Chocho hesitantly nodded her head, she saw movement out the corner of her eye. She looked just in time to see a tiny nose touch the glass in front of her. Two beady little eyes stared up into her own. As red looked into gold, something shifted. Chocho felt herself actually lean a little closer to the animal.

As its little tongue poked out, she thought to herself. Why did she dislike snakes so much? Did she truly find something disturbing about them, or had she just believed what her friends spewed over the years when she was in school? The more Chocho analyzed it, the more she felt that her assumption was wrong.

Like a weight off her chest, she felt the nervousness vanish.

"Is that a smile I see?" Without looking at Mitsuki, she could tell there was a little humor in his tone. But when she looked into his eyes, Chocho could see genuine happiness.

"Yeah well, let's get going then." Chocho couldn't hide her small blush. Or her smile.

4: Support

Here's the next oneshot

The main couple is Mitsuki x Chocho, with others thrown in at times.

These oneshots will have no connection to one another (unless mentioned at the beginning of the small chapter).

Oneshot #4 – Support

"So that's when you multiply by the nth power." Mitsuki took his pencil and scribbled some more. Finishing up by circling the answer, he turned to Chocho. "Do you understand it now?"

Tongue poking out, she erased the last of her mistakes. Looking at her notes which now contained what Mitsuki wrote down, she nodded. Math was hard, and with their exam coming up next week Chocho was nervous. She hoped this studying would help.

"Yeah thanks so much, Mitsuki. When you explain it, things make a lot more sense." Shooting him a smile, she turned back to her stack of papers on the lunch table.

Before three weeks ago, her disorganization had been bad. But then Mitsuki offered to help. Now Chocho's schoolwork was neat and cleaner than it had ever been. It was no wonder Mitsuki could follow along with the lesson plan every week.

Chocho looked over at the rest of their friends eating lunch. They were talking animatedly about a new movie that had come out last weekend. Some action flick that had a lot of violence. Tuning them out, she wondered why boys liked that sort of stuff. Especially when it was like the third movie about the same boring stuff.

Chocho began packing up her belongings before putting her backpack in the space next to her. Taking out her wallet, she counted out how much she had for food. Good, she had enough for something extra to splurge on! When her friend Sumire had mentioned there would be pie today, Chocho had forgone spending her leftover money at the store on her way home. Chocho couldn't resist the temptation of fresh pie.

"I'll be right back."

Mitsuki nodded, smiling at Chocho. "Alright. I'll watch your stuff." His eyes trailed after her as she walked over to the lunch line.

Biting her lip, Chocho stared at the food. What to do? She wanted to get her usual. A pizza, hotdog, and fries sounded really good right about now. Then she could even have enough to get a slice of pie. But then she thought about Mitsuki. He had been so kind to her the last month that she wanted to do something nice for him. A lightbulb then went off, and she smiled.

A finger then poked her side. "Chocho? You ok? You were staring into space for a minute."

Chocho let out a laugh. "Oh yeah, nothing to worry about. Hey so what are you guys getting?" And with that, the girls started having a conversation.

Mitsuki loved watching Chocho. She was very beautiful in his eyes. When she laughed at one of his corny jokes, he felt compelled to make her laugh even more. Once he even succeeded in making milk spew out of her nose. That had been a good day.

When her brow furrowed in confusion, he sought to help her understand. Homework was the most challenging thing for Chocho, Mitsuki realized. When she looked at him with puppy dog eyes asking for his help, he couldn't say no to her adorable face.

He also admired her courage, and ability to speak her mind. During class and outside of school. She had a lot of opinions and wasn't abashed to say them. Chocho would also speak in defense of her friends too at times.

All of these things were just a few of the reasons why he liked Chocho.

"Earth to Mitsuki." A hand waved in front of him. Snapping out of his trance, Mitsuki reluctantly looked at Shikadai.

"We were wondering if you wanted to hang out this Friday. Play some video games at my house?" Shikadai was curious. What had their friend preoccupied for a while?

"Oh yes that would be fun. I'm in." Mitsuki spared him a second longer before his gaze wandered.

"Hmm? Hey buddy, what're you looking at?" Boruto tried to see what his friend saw, but could only see Chocho laughing with some girls while they stood in line. "I don't see anything interesting."

Inojin peered around his friends, and his eyes widened. No it couldn't be.

"Eh, Mitsuki? You staring at Chubs?" Inojin smirked.

Yellow eyes cut sharply to him. Inojin stiffened. Mitsuki was smiling but his eyes weren't joking.

"Finish your food." Mitsuki picked up Inojin's sub sandwich and stuffed it into the blonde's mouth. He hated that nickname that Inojin bestowed on Chocho, even if said in jest.

Noticing that Chocho had returned to the table, Mitsuki focused solely on her.

"Careful Inojin. You'll choke if you inhale too much at once." Chocho helpfully pounded him on the back, watching as he coughed and spluttered. Hopefully this would teach him not to take on more than he could chew.

Mitsuki shot Inojin a smirk before his attention was grabbed by Chocho once more.

"Hey Mitsuki? Here, I bought this for you." Holding out a piece of pie on a plate, she watched his eyes soften. Chocho felt her cheeks become warm. "I wanted to thank you for being there for me recently." Finishing her statement with a sincere smile, she saw him blush too. Huh, poor guy. She guessed that Mitsuki didn't really get appreciated properly like this often.

"Huh? This is for me?" The besotted boy couldn't believe it. Here was his crush and friend, giving him something out of the goodness of her heart. He took the slice, studying it for a moment. No one had ever offered him food as a gift before. It was nice.

"Mhmm." Cheeks stuffed with her meal, Chocho nodded enthusiastically.

Their friends were watching in silence. Inojin had calmed down from having his sandwich attack, Boruto had a grin on his face, and Shikadai rolled his eyes while smirking.

It was now the morning of the test.

"Dude, you gotta go for it! Stop worrying about what might happen." Boruto tried to make his friend see sense. "Come on, you've been pining for her for the last couple months. Plus, you couldn't stop gushing about her gift to you last week. Now's the time to ask her out!" He shot a thumbs up to his friend.

"Yeah, this is getting tedious. You really should tell her your feelings today." Shikadai was walking beside them while on their way to school. He tried to encourage Mitsuki too.

"Alright then. I'll tell Chocho my love for her after class then." He smiled when Boruto reached out for a high five.

"That's the spirit! Now let's go, we don't want to be late for our test." With that, the blonde took off running. Mitsuki and Shikadai shared a look before following.

Shikadai huffed. "Since when do you care about being on time, Boruto?"

Sparing a smile, Boruto kept his pace up. "Ever since Shino told me that I have two tardies. One more and there'll be detention for sure!"

"Hey guys! What's the rush?" Chocho was suddenly running along with the three boys. She was surprised. Normally her friends weren't this energetic in the morning. She could understand Boruto's reasons for hurrying, but wondered about Mitsuki and Shikadai's. Though she did find it amusing how Mitsuki wasn't even breaking a sweat.

"Good morning, Chocho. Boruto's hurrying because he doesn't want detention. Are you ready for our test today?" Mitsuki hoped so. All the studying they had done to prepare for it would pay off after this. Hopefully Chocho would pass and get the grade she wanted.

"Yup, I sure am!" With a cheesy grin she looked up into his yellow eyes. "I'm gonna crush this exam!" Chocho ran faster in her excitement. She was eager to get the test over with so she could finally relax.

It wasn't long before the group were inside their class. Giving Chocho's shoulder a pat, Mitsuki went to his desk.

Chocho breathed in deeply before heading to her own. She knew she could do this! Replaying that mantra in her head, she focused all of her attention down on the blank packet.

The rest of the week was normal, which Chocho was grateful for. But that next Monday was when the students of Shino's class dreaded the most – having their tests handed back.

"So what was your score Chocho?" They hadn't even left the class before Mitsuki popped the question. Shino tried to look busy so he didn't look like he was eavesdropping.

Standing beside her, Mitsuki tried to play it casual but he was anxious. Did she have red marks all over her now graded test, or did she have a thumbs up at the top of her paper near her score?

He inwardly panicked as he saw a tear roll down her cheek. Before he could offer her comfort, she quickly spun around. Their eyes locked on to each other.

Mitsuki's mind went blank as Chocho hugged him.

Even Shino's mouth dropped open a little. Well, this took a turn.

"I passed! I passed! Yeah suck it, test!"

Her elation got Mitsuki to snap out of his trance. He smiled wide as his arms wrapped around her. "I'm proud of you, Chocho."

The girl paused in her cheers. She couldn't have done it without him. Gathering her courage, she did something that she had wanted to do for a while.

Mitsuki felt his face turn ablaze as Chocho kissed his cheek. What was happening? His heart stuttered before beating wildly, knees shaking all the while. Confusion was in his eyes as he tried to comprehend why she did that.

"Mitsuki, will you go out with me?"

To say he was bewildered was an understatement. His only crush was asking him this? This was really happening and it wasn't a dream?

"Yes, I would love that." Mitsuki's heart felt so light, and his mouth smiled wide. Mitsuki bent his head down and planted a kiss of his own to Chocho's cheek.

"I'm honored to be your boyfriend."

Chocho smiled, her expression relieved and ecstatic. Tugging his hand, she began to head to the door. "Come on, let's go meet up with the guys and tell them the good news!"

Now alone in his classroom, Shino methodically piled his work together before putting it in his bag. Ah young love. Whistling, he stood up before exiting his room to go to lunch.

8Chapter 5: No Matter What

Here the next oneshot! Mmm so this one isn't totally serious like real deep depression, just um some mild anxiety and a little bit of weight gain. It has a happy ending though!

Oh yeah! Heads up it has cute pet-names and terms of endearments thrown in because I love that sort of stuff!

These oneshots will have no connection to one another (unless mentioned at the beginning of the small chapter).

Please enjoy!

Oneshot #5 – No Matter What

Mitsuki felt a mixture of emotions. When he came home earlier, he had felt a smidgen of fear. The lights had been off, yet Chocho's car was in the driveway. He felt relief to see her in their bedroom, yet worry to notice that she was curled up in the fetal position.

"Baby?"

No response. This wasn't good. Walking over to her, Mitsuki slowly got behind her so he too could lie down on the bed. He put his arms around her, watching as she blinked her tear-filled eyes.

"What's wrong, dumpling?"

"Please don't call me that." Even as Chocho curled into Mitsuki's chest, she couldn't help but combat that pet-name he gave her. It made her feel disgusting, when usually it would make her happy.

"Did something happen? Why don't you want to be called by a term of endearment?" His worry increased. Mitsuki had never seen Chocho like this before.

"I feel ugly today, and don't want to be called anything that resembles fat." Chocho felt her lip quiver again. She couldn't bare it, not today. Then Chocho hated herself even more for not wanting to associate with the nickname. God she was awful.

"Oh honey. I'm so sorry. You are so lovely, and yet you still feel like this." Mitsuki felt sadness latch onto him as well. It tore him up to think that Chocho negatively viewed her body like this.

Chocho's head whipped up to lock her eyes with his own. They burned with an intensity. When she spoke however, it was not in agreement. She was still putting herself down. "No, you don't understand. I was standing on the scale earlier and I gained three whole pounds since yesterday!" Recalling this seemed to give Chocho a fresh wave of tears.

Mitsuki was now equally confused as he was sad. "That's it?" Cocking his head, he stared at her.

"Mitsuki!" Oh no, now her cheeks were puffed up. She was pouting, which was not sexy when she was crying and sad.

"I apologize." Mitsuki wiped the moisture from her face. "But gaining such a tiny bit of weight does not usually drive you to the point of crying, right?" He watched her nod. So why was it bothering her now? Mitsuki was still confused.

"It upsets me because I ate the normal amount of what I eat every day. I didn't eat anything extra for dinner." Chocho was now biting her bottom lip. Tears had stopped falling from her eyes, but she hadn't cheered up yet.

"Well yes but you did snack more frequently as well."

"Oh my god. I have no control." She moaned while her hands came up to cover both eyes.

"No, my love. There is nothing wrong with you. Chocho, beautiful can't begin to describe you." Mitsuki made sure to capture her gaze when he said that. Now that he was sure she was listening, he continued. "Your skin? It's perfect."

Moving slowly, Mitsuki's face neared hers, to give Chocho time to pull away if she wanted to. But she held still, waiting. Kissing her nose and cheek, he could tell his words were getting through to his girlfriend.

"Your body? Flawless." Rubbing both hands along her chubby love handles, he could feel the skin warming with each minute that passed.

Mitsuki marveled at the woman. Here Chocho was, everyday giving him the love and affection that he craved. Never once asking to be reciprocated, yet receiving the same amount of love increased by tenfold.

Mitsuki thought back on their relationship throughout the years. He remembered her smiles the most, as he gave an abundance of hugs and kisses to Chocho all the time. Mitsuki really did love her body, no matter what it looked like.

A thought came unbidden just then, making him frown. "I'm sorry."

"Huh? Why are you apologizing?" Now Chocho was confused.

"While I noticed at the beginning of our relationship how you like to receive physical affection, I have been lacking being verbal in my appreciation of you. I'm sorry for not saying more often how beautiful you are. I will strive to do so in the future." Mitsuki finished with a small smiled, hoping to convey how genuine he was. What he did not expect was the bone-crushing hug after he spoke.

Chocho squeezed him hard, her face finally showing happiness. "Thanks, love. But there is nothing to apologize for. You always know how to make me feel better, whether you use your words or touch. I'm so lucky to have you in my life." Filled with warmth, Chocho gave her boyfriend no time to respond as she quickly kissed him.

"Now come on, let's go make dinner! I'm starved!" Getting up out of the warm space near Mitsuki, she rushed out of the room.

He chuckled while listening to her spout off a list of different choices for their meal. Mitsuki smiled in contentment.

6: Rainy Day

Here's another Boruto oneshot!

Just a cute friendship piece, because I really like the umbrella sharing trope! Rainy days with no thunder are cool too!

I don't own Boruto, it belongs to Ukyo Kodachi.

Oneshot #6 – Rainy Day

The rain was coming down fast. Chocho looked out into the rain, picking up more speed with each drop that fell. She was cold and hungry, but smiled at the thought of eating a warm bowl of soup soon. Chocho began imagining what flavor she would have, when she paused.

Squinting, her eyes tried to make out who was walking in the rain ahead. Who was that? Wait, a blue ninja uniform? There was only one person Chocho knew that wore such a thing.

"Mitsuki! Hey, wait up!"

Surprised yellow eyes turned to look at her. "Chocho? What are you doing out here?" Mitsuki recalled that she complained earlier about the weather. There was no one else he knew was walking during the drizzle.

"I was heading to Ichiraku's for some food. Why are you out here without an umbrella?" Chocho shivered under her thick jacket as she looked up at him.

"I was patrolling before it started to rain. I was just heading South to continue." Mitsuki said this nonchalantly, as if it didn't bother him that he was getting pelted with buckets of rain. In fact, he seemed to not notice the cold at all. Even his headband looked soaked.

But that didn't matter. Grumbling at the audacity of this boy, Chocho pulled him underneath her umbrella. Mitsuki didn't protest but he did look confused.

"Well, you shouldn't be standing without an umbrella. We can share mine." Chocho didn't see anything wrong with that, but Mitsuki tilted his head staring at her confusion. "What? Do you want to hold it or something?"

"Why did you do that? Aren't the requirements of a shinobi be that they are able to adapt during different types of weather? After all, it's what happens during missions."

"Well yeah, but we're not on a mission right now so that rule doesn't apply. Besides helping each other is what friends do. I don't want you catching a cold later on."

Mitsuki was silent for a while, taking in what Chocho had said. Then he nodded his head with a smile. "I see. Thank you for this then."

Chocho turned her head so he couldn't see her bright blush.

It wasn't long before the two neared Ichiraku. There was laughter emitting from behind the small curtain.

Chocho rubbed her stomach, humming in anticipation of warm food. Seeing Mitsuki out of the corner of her eye, she wondered what he would get. As Chocho opened her mouth to ask, he turned around opposite of the restaurant.

"Huh? Where are you going, we just got here." Some of Chocho's happiness drained when she saw him do that. She thought they were getting along, but maybe not?

"I'll leave you to enjoy yourself. I'm going to continue my patrol."

Despite his reluctance to enter the ramen place, Mitsuki didn't seem mad or annoyed. Rather, just a ninja with a serious sense of duty. Hmm, that gave Chocho an idea.

"Hold up, please? Hear me out."

"Yes?"

"I'll make you a deal. Keep me company and once we're finished with our lunch, I'll come patrolling with you. After all, with two people it should go faster."

Mitsuki barely mulled it over before he agreed. "Alright then."

"Good. Now come on its freezing." Pulling him along, Chocho eagerly entered the shelter that Ichiraku provided.

After each consuming two bowls full of ramen, both Mitsuki and Chocho felt warm all over. Waving bye to Teuchi and Ayame, the two young ninja left the eating establishment.

"Ready?" Now Chocho was feeling re-energized and pumped. She could tell that Mitsuki was feeling good too, from the spark in his eyes.

"Yeah let's go."

"Look out enemy scum! Chocho and Mitsuki are on the case, ready to protect the Leaf Village!"

Running with the umbrella over their heads, the two were breathless as they headed off across town. Much as they tried though, Mitsuki and Chocho couldn't keep the smiles off their faces.

8Chapter 7: Open Wide

Woo! I loved writing this one! I'm a sucker for lap cuddles *cries*

If the food choices of this one (or any other oneshot) seem weird, it's because I mainly put things I like and think of off the top of my head. So yeah!

Oh and I got inspired by watching Blue Exorcist during the scene where Amaimon's hair gets blown up haha. If you never seen it, look up Amaimon Broccoli. It works great in the anime because he also has green hair!

I don't own Boruto, it belongs to Ukyo Kodachi.

Oneshot #7 – Open Wide

Tightening his hold on her, Mitsuki opened his mouth for more. Chocho balanced the sushi roll between her fingers before she guided it behind her shoulders. He then ate it, happily swallowing his fifth roll. Hiding a smile in her shoulder, Mitsuki watched as she consumed another as well.

Sharing a meal together like this had become a regular thing now. It had started when Chocho had asked if she could sit in his lap one day. From there it had evolved into sharing most foods with each other.

Chocho lifted a burger this time, chuckling at her boyfriend's antics. Looking at their spread, her stomach gave another gurgle at the choices. There were spicy burgers, bags of chips, sushi, seaweed wraps, and dumplings.

Hearing her stomach, Mitsuki finished chewing his bite. Hands gliding up her sides before squeezing, he brought his face closer to hers. "Thank you for sharing your lunch again with me. I enjoy eating together." Guiding a dumpling to Chocho's face, Mitsuki watched as she ate it.

"No problem, babe. It's more fun eating like this too."

"Plus, I like having you in my lap." Delivering a kiss to her neck, he smiled when her hand stopped midway to her mouth. After a moment Chocho resumed eating while inwardly melting on the inside.

A bit away from the pair, sat the rest of their friends.

Boruto was laughing at something Denki said, when a sigh from Shikadai grabbed his attention. "Hmm? What's up, dude? You're lunch taste bad or something?"

"You ever notice how affectionate in public they are?"

"I think we should all be happy for them. At least they aren't a couple who fight all the time, regardless of who watches. Besides, they're our friends who deserve our support." Denki said.

Shikadai rubbed the back of his head awkwardly. "Yeah well, they don't have to shove it in our faces every day – ack!"

A small bout of electricity sizzled through the ground unseen by anyone. But they sure noticed Shikadai afterwards.

"Hahaha! You look like a piece of broccoli!" Inojin slapped his knees, tears forming from laughing too hard.

Ignoring the rest of the conversation, Mitsuki went back to resting his chin on Chocho's shoulder. Apparently she hadn't even been paying attention, all her focus on eating lunch while simultaneously snuggling closer to his chest.

"Want some more?"

"Yes, please."

"Say ahhh." As she lifted the burger to his open mouth, she couldn't help but feel so lucky. To have both Mitsuki in her life and this delicious meal. Staring in his eyes, Chocho thought he felt the same.

All the while, both were munching away contentedly.

8: Rooting For You

Yay another piece, this time about an eating contest! I like them even though I've never eaten in one before. I'm such a slow eater.

Some spoilers for episode 93!

Anyways, Hope you enjoy!

I don't own Boruto, it belongs to Ukyo Kodachi.

Oneshot #8 – Rooting For You

"Go Chocho! You've got this!" That was Sarada's voice. She was finding it hard to choose, between her friends. So she just switched cheering for them every couple of minutes. Not that anyone minded at all.

Sarada had been supportive when Chocho had excitedly told her about an eating contest. Though she wasn't the only one who entered it. Sumire, Boruto, and Iwabee all entered it too.

Since it was parent-child day, their parents were in the competition as well. Well in Boruto's case it was Hinata. But still, he was excitingly talking to his mom before the eating began.

Sarada hoped they all did well.

Mitsuki was besides Sarada in the stands. Denki, Shikadai, Metal, Inojin, Namida, and Himawari all came in support as well. At the end of the day though, they all agreed to not hold any grudges if one of their friends won and the rest lost. Hopefully they would make it far enough.

Mitsuki watched Chocho, his focus not wavering one bit. He held up the sign he made for his girlfriend. It had her face and the words "You can do it, Chocho!" written in big bold letters. Mitsuki was pretty proud of his creation, since it made Chocho's face light up when she saw it.

Choji stared at Mitsuki, looking at the sign the young boy held up for his daughter. Choji smiled, glad she found someone who truly cared about her.

Choji's eyes misted over. Just like his Karui did for him. Meeting the golden eyes of his wife, there was none of the earlier anger in them. This made Choji glad. His eyes filled with more determination. He and Chocho would win this!

The first course was ramen. Big bowls filled with noodles and broth that smelled so good it made all the contestant's mouths water. And once Chocho had finished eating the first bowl, it was immediately replaced with fresh ramen.

After that there were more meals: fried octopus, yakitori, meatballs, and mochi.

During the intermission between foods, everyone proceeded to walk behind the stage, where the small picnic tables were at. Though after this fifth course, this break was longer than the ones that had come before. The next meal was the last in the competition, so everyone was gearing up for it.

"We're going to crush everyone, huh Dad?" That was the voice of a young boy. He wore a menacing smile that made other contestants worry.

"That's right son!" Stopping at the table Chocho and Choji were at, Glut sneered at them. "Nothing can stop the mighty stomachs of Glut and Ton! Not even the reigning champ!" Laughing, the father and son duo walked away to their seats.

"Oh yeah well, my dad and I will show you! And so will my friends! Come on, let's keep our spirits high!" Chocho got up out of her seat and did a proud pose. Seeing her father and friends smile made Chocho feel better.

That inner fire died out when the sixth and final meal appeared. Chocho unsuspectingly took her first bite.

The burgers were too hot! She looked at her friends through watered eyes. Iwabee and Sumire had already stopped eating, but Boruto kept plowing through his food.

Mitsuki saw his girlfriend slow down as she started to become doubtful. That couldn't happen. "Go Chocho!" Mitsuki hoped she gathered up the willpower quickly.

Chocho heard Mitsuki cheer for her, and gave him a thumbs up. She would power through the pain! As the next bite was swallowed, Chocho looked up at her dad. Choji was gnawing furiously, tears dripping off his face with each burger.

Seeing her father show that kind of strength made her feel empowered too.

"Get me another! Stat!" An annoying voice said with a mouthful of chewed burger.

Ugh it was that smug kid, Ton, who had kept talking about winning. Chocho wanted to say something but there was no time for that. She had to remain focused.

Letting out a loud belch, the gormad started laughing obnoxiously. Rolling their eyes Boruto and Chocho shared a look while continuing to scarf their meals.

"Okay contestants! There's fifteen minutes left in the competition!"

Mitsuki's cheers became louder as the clock ticked down. Finally the referee waved a flag while simultaneously telling the citizens to stop eating.

"And the winners are…Choji and Chocho Akimichi!"

Grinning broadly, together father and daughter both held up the gold trophy. Boruto clapped loudly for them as he stood next to the silver trophy.

All the ninja gathered around their friends. Chocho squawked when she was suddenly lifted up into the air, supported by Sarada and Namida. A second passed before she was back to smiling. This was a momentous victory!

"I'm so proud of you, Chocho." Mitsuki was the only one of their friends that remained behind after the celebration moved to the Akimichi house. He and his girlfriend stared up at the first place trophy, with huge smiles on their faces.

(2) This is an example of a line from Rotten Work that only works in English: “He’s my uncle,” Jin Ling points out incredulously. “Of course he’s part of the main family.” If you use more precise familial terms, the line becomes, "He's my [mother's brother], of course he's part of [my father's family]," which doesn't actually make any sense. By disregarding things like that, it feels like you're trying to divorce the story from its CN cultural origins, or to say that they're not important.

*sighs*

part 1 didn't come through, so this is all i have to go on

but here's another example of things that it'd be real neat of you guys to send me off anon

for this example, you're really divorcing this out of the context of the story it takes place in.

the council and high level people know that wwx has been added to the register already because jin ling did it in ch 1, and references it several times later. now, this didn't get explicitly revealed until the last chapter, but it hinted at multiple times. no one else assumes jin ling has done this. including wwx

but wwx is very explicitly part of the jin clan in this story. he lives in jin tower. he wears jin gold. he advises jin ling about everything from how the library should be organized to who his first disciple should be. he attends council meetings with him ffs

jiang cheng doesn't do that. jiang cheng isn't even allowed to go anywhere outside of the main hall unescorted

because he's not a member of the jin clan

if what i was saying here was that obviously a mother's brother belongs to the father's family, wouldn't that then extend to jiang cheng too? except it doesn't. because obviously i'm not saying that

in this story, wwx is a member of the jin clan. established. the "reveal" here is that jl had added him to the family registry, just like he had li mianmian when he made her his heir, and therefore brought him into the main family

so the conversation here, in the context of the story and not just as a sound bite you've taken from it, is actually jin ling saying that since his mother's brother whom he loves and values has joined his father's family/clan of course jin ling would elevate his status to that of his main family

so in chinese, that line would still make sense

he's my mother's brother. he is close to me. now that he's apart of my clan/family, of course i've elevated his status to reflect that closeness

as far as divorcing things from their origins, again, that's still a question of translation. when you translate something, you're not just translating words, but also culture. whether you try to preserve the culture to bring the audience closer to it, or whether you translate it to make it more understandable in terms of your audience's culture, is a preference

here's an example that's obviously very small and low stakes, but i think is an easy way to explain this:

in the original version of the animated movie inside out, a little girl is grossed out about being forced to eat broccoli, a food that children in america stereotypically find gross. it's a narrative shortcut because the movie doesn't have to waste time telling you the girl doesn't like the food she's eating, or why she doesn't like it, and the audience isn't going to assume it's because she's being stubborn for stubbornness's sake or that she's allergic to it or anything like that. they understand immediately that she doesn't want to eat it because it's a food that children find gross

in the japanese version, the broccoli was replaced by bell peppers

this is because broccoli is not widely understood to be a food that many people find gross in japan, and bell peppers are

if they wanted to keep the original broccoli in, and they wanted the viewers to understand the original context it was being used in, they'd have to first establish that broccoli is a food that children in america are widely known not to like and it's common for them to refuse to eat it. the narrative shortcut that the film used disappears

so instead of keeping it in and adding exposition to explain it's significance and function, they switched it out for something else that would convey the same meaning to the audiences it was intended for, even though that thing would not have the same meaning for the audience that it was originally intended for

they "translated" broccoli to bell peppers

when it comes to things like real people and/or religious or culturally significant works, i think there's a lot more value in preserving the original intention and explaining the original culture as much as possible though translation. when this happens, translation has to work twice as hard, to both convey understanding and to educate

with things like modern fiction stories, especially ones featuring things like gay sword wizards, i think there's less of responsibility to do that, and it becomes a lot more acceptable to turn a broccoli into a bell pepper, because the purpose of the media itself is entertainment, not education, although of course that's not an excuse to ignore the stories origins

then, even further down, we've got fanfiction of the translated entertainment media written in the translated language for an audience of people who speak the translated language rather than original, who have all consumed the original work and have some sort of understanding of the country and culture it came from that they got from at least the original work if nothing else

not all things are created equal, and not all things have the same "responsibility" to explain the meaning of broccoli rather than just turning it into a bell pepper

Screw it, here's my series reboot

Part of the community has fallen down the reboot speculation rabbit hole even though there's literally zero evidence for a new group of ninja or next gen situation happening. But hey, what better time to drop my reboot idea on y'all? If I had more motivation I might turn this into a fic, but that's never happening, and I need to get these ideas out of my head.

We open on a Ninjago far into the future. Just like the pilot, we follow our future fire master- a morbidly curious and unapologetically energetic girl who has just recently discovered her power. She's keeping it a secret for now, but is searching for answers on what it is and why she has it. She finds herself drawn to the mountain far in the distant skyline. On top is an old building. No one knows what it is or if anyone lives up there, but there are stories of it being haunted. She sets out on her journey, still unsure of why she's going.

Along her way she meets our earth master- not the smartest guy, but indescribably sweet with a dash of spice. He too is drawn to the mountain, and the two reveal their powers to each other after discovering their strangely similar impulse and journey.

They make their way up the mountain together to find the long abandoned monastery. Though it appears to be empty, they find a woman meditating next to a large tree in the garden. (If you know me, you know where this is going) She has long gray hair and a strangely ageless face. She seems to know why they're here. She says she has answers about their powers, and can help train them to use them effectively. Our two new masters, desperate for answers and purpose, commit to stay and learn from their new sensei.

Eventually they recruit a new member, our master of lightning, a fairly quiet and observant girl deathly afraid of her own powers. The massive lightning storm that accompanies her unlocking her powers triggers the first mission for our other two. The three train together, fairly content, but sensei insists there is one more.

Turns out, he's a fairly bitter ice master who has had his power for a while now. He and sensei seem to know each other, and recruiting him seems to be a harder task than anticipated. The three continue to train on their own while continually trying to coax the ice master to join the team, resulting in several heated confrontations and fight scenes. He ends up being a sort of running antagonist for a string of episodes. Eventually it all comes to head when he nearly ends up killing our fire master. He comes with them back to the monastery and insists he's only staying until she's fully healed, but ends up bonding with the team and sticking around. Turns out he's got a great heart once you get past all the ice.

Sensei grows increasingly distant as the team gets closer, fighting off what first appears to be one off threats. They see her meditating by the tree more often, sometimes sitting there all night, talking to the stars. They gather that they aren't the first team with these powers to be assembled, and that sensei lost someone very close to her.

The season 1 finale is accompanied by the revelation that Sensei is in fact Pixal- The students discover her still hidden Samurai X cave and her robotic nature is revealed after an initial run in with with big bad for the series. This could be Pixal predecessors, a Zane-related threat, or an entirely new villain. Idk, do what you need to sell sets or whatever.

The second season explores what exactly happened to Zane, if it is possible to bring him back, and the assorted mysteries associated with the rest of the team. Why are the lightning powers continually increasing in severity? What exactly is the ice master's deal? And maybe... Romance? Idk, I haven't gotten that far.

Anyway, that's the pitch- at least 2 seasons, like the original show, with plenty of room to grow. I guess I should have a name for it but... I don't. I'm bad at names. Anyway, thanks for reading!

LSMU Special Mini Series - Chapter 2: Surf

And that was what I did. I finished Book 1 in a few hours. I can't express how RELIEVED I was that Jisoo-unnie and Yeoni weren't actually siblings. Aish... I didn't have incest fetish! So, at around 3 in the morning, I checked outside to see if they were still awake. They weren't, of course. That was good. I could read Book 2: Yes or Yes. This book was about Twice, which made me find it more interesting because the characters are people I am close with.

I have to admit, though... I was having fun reading this. But... I can't tell that to Mina-unnie, right? Or... Did she actually intend to influence me? I'm probably the only person she's close with who actually reads books. Ah... That's it. She must have wanted someone to bond with over these books. But... Did she think I seemed like the kind of person who reads... Eroticas? And... Eroticas about... People I knew? As I started reading book 2, I noticed how these two authors write. They're obviously not the best. They have limited vocabularies, and sometimes just outright repeat their phrasings. Where did these two writers come from, though? I mean... Who am I to judge them? I'm still learning English anyway. Probably they're not native speakers either. Hang on. Are they Koreans? Could it be?

What I can commend them on, though, is the plot. How could they make an actual universe from just fanboy fantasies, tackling serious topics such as idol prostitution, mental health, and our social lives?

This whole Idol Protection Group thing was sooo unrealistic, though! Corrupt executives having sex with idols–Ew! Disgusting... But somehow I was gripped by the story. Somehow, these books brought awareness to sensitive matters, and weren't totally hornyness personified. It was good!

Wow... So... Jeongyeon and Sana unnies were dating here. Honestly, they're two of the most beautiful women out there, and Sana-unnie was indeed flirty and close with Jeongyeon-unnie... The thought of it made sense. But... Wasn't Sana-unnie closer to Dahyun-unnie, nowadays? So many things are happening in this book! Three new POV characters from the Big Three companies, various idol appearances... This thing about Twice's contract situation was good. Their contracts actually ran out by the end of this year... What would happen then? A lot more girl on girl actions in this book too, and... And it made me... Feel things. I found Jeongyeon-unnie much more attractive now than before, with her carefree, unapologetic, almost boyish personality. Gosh... She was so protective towards Sana-unnie here. Which made sense. Her personality was my direct opposite, I guess. And... It made me curious... Oh wow... This chapter about them having sex in Singapore... How... How great would it be if someone could treat me as well–and... Rough–as Jeongyeon-unnie treated Sana-unnie? I mean... Their characters from the book... Oh gosh. I... I wanted someone like Jeongyeon-unnie. Come to think of it.... Ryujin is kinda like– NO! No. No. No. I shouldn't think about Ryujin that way. No. No. No! Get a grip Lee Chaeryeong! No dirty thoughts! This book has so many great parts! I loved how this Han Minsoo character grew from being super shy to become confident... And even got a chance with Jihyo-unnie. The revelation of Nam Chuyoung's identity was... Woah... So he was Kwak Jinyoung from the first book! And picking Ahn Jae Hong as the actor who portrayed him was perfect... Since he did become a lot slimmer after being kinda chubby previously. Ansel Jackson's story arc though... He's cheating. He seduced Dahyun-unnie behind Mina-unnie's back. How would Mina-unnie react when she found out? Would she find out? This was getting more and more complicated. I loved how this story tied back to the first book! And then... Gosh... This shootout at the SM Entertainment Parking Lot. It was so gripping... It was heartbreaking to read Tzuyu-unnie crying over Chuyoung. Would he recover? And... Jeongyeon-unnie. So sad... The ending... Oh gosh... NO! Ansel was the one who helped Park Manse escape? How could he! And, oh my God... CL-sunbaenim?! Oh God... Oh God, oh God, oh God! I could wait to read Book 3! Red Velvet would be in it, right? I finished Book 2. Damn. That was intense, even more so than the first book! I was starting to think that Twice-unnies were so lucky for being written like this. I honestly wouldn't mind if a book about us is written in the future. I wonder how these authors... NotImportantNotAtAll and Triskaideka, would portray me. Do they even find me attractive? I wish I could talk to someone about this book. Should I text Mina-unnie? No... She said I should talk to her about it once I caught up to her, so... Not yet. But... Hang on. Didn't I see a link in one of the Author's Notes in a chapter? There it is! A link to.... Discord? A Discord server? Should I join? Would it be weird? I'd remain anonymous with a new account. I... I don't have to speak at all, right? But... It'll be in English too, like the books. Ah, no matter. I'd just join to lurk and see what others were talking about these books. Right. I'm joining. I downloaded the Discord app on my phone and created an account. Hmm... What would be a good username? Something that's not... Too obvious. But... If I'm too NOT obvious, would it be suspicious instead? Why was I

second guessing everything? Eotteokhae... O–Okay... Username... ChaerryBlossom. Yeah. People woudln't notice. Right... Joining. General chat... Ah... Geurae... So that's how it works. Okay. Suddenly, a yawn escaped my mouth. I looked at the clock on the wall... Oh shit! It's almost morning! I'd read two whole books, but I'd have zero hours of sleep! But... Something told me to just continue with this server. Ah... As expected. All I saw were users lusting over girl group members. There were channels for Blackpink, Twice, Red Velvet... Others... IPG members? Oh... Most of the photos were of SNSD sunbaenims. Wait... What? There were channels for Aespa... And Itzy? But... I hadn't encountered both groups yet in the books! Sure, I knew Winter had her own spin-off series, but... Were the others there too? Book 3 part one and part two would still revolve around the first three big groups, right? Would there be a book about us? I wanted to explore more. I opened Wattpad again, but I suddenly felt really sleepy. Right. I should just sleep. I'll continue reading some time later. I placed my phone on the side of my pillow, then... "Eh? You’re awake?”

I jolted up and glared at the door. Lia-unnie had entered the room, finding me on her bed. "Why are you on my bed?" she asked. I panicked. "O–Oh! Y–Yuna... Yuna's.... Yuna's on my bed! She fell asleep and, and... Hasn't... Wait... Why are you up so early? Where did you sleep?" I stammered panickedly. Lia giggled. "I slept with Yej–I mean... I slept in Yeji's b–Room! I slept in Yeji's room!" she stuttered. Strange. Why was she flustered? Lia turned to look at Yuna, then she giggled as she noticed something. "Ya... How old is she? Why did she pee on your bed?" Lia asked. I gasped. "A–Ah? E–Eh? U–Umm... I–I..." I stuttered. "Ah well. I want to continue sleeping... I'll just lie down next to you! It's my bed after all..." Lia shrugged. She jumped onto the bed, laying down next to me while giggling. Lia was always energetic and easy going, but I found myself panicking. Should... Should I explain what happened between Yuna and I last night? What would she think? Lia sighed and hugged me tight from behind. I acted annoyed and grunted, but my shy smile gave me away. I loved getting hugged by her, or anyone, actually. She giggled and leaned in closer to me. "Are you going back to sleep, Cheryeong-ie?" she asked. I shook my head. "I... I was just trying to sleep," I said. Her eyes widened. "Oh? Can't sleep?" she asked. "N–No... It's... I was... Read–watching Netflix... And... Browsing for things online... And I forgot about time," I stuttered my lie, but Lia noticed what I was about to say initially. "Reading, huh? Any interesting books?" she asked, glancing at my phone. Shit! The screen's still on! I reached the power button and put it to sleep as quickly as I could. "N–No! I was... Watching Netflix!" I insisted. Lia giggled and snuggled close to me. Honestly, her warm presence made me feel so comfortable, and soon I felt my eyes getting heavier and heavier. As I drifted off to sleep, I heard Lia whispering. "Next time... If you want to lie... Don't... Let me see that your phone's on Discord," she whispered. I didn't reply. I acted like I had fallen asleep, and thankfully, she didn't press me. Soon, we both fell asleep... A peaceful one. I didn't know how long Lia and I slept, but for the second time in the same day, I got woken up by a loud voice. "RISE AND SHINE, LESBIANS!!!" Lia and I jolted up, embracing each other, finding Shin Ryujin standing at the door with her palms against her hips, grinning wide. I looked over to my bed, and Yuna was gone. "Join us for lunch, Lesbians!" Ryujin exclaimed again. "Yedeura! Bab meogja!" I heard Yeji's voice from the dining room. "C–Coming!" I shouted. Ryujin smirked. "I don't want to know how many times you actually were cumming... But... You really should join us for lunch, Lesbians!" teased Ryujin again, making me blush red. "YA! SHUT IT!" I scolded her. Beside me, Lia was unable to restrain her laughter. Ryujin laughed too, before gesturing at my bed. "By the way... I changed your bed sheet, Chaery. Damn... It was soaking wet," she uttered. "I–I... I can... Explain...." I stuttered, but Ryujin shook her head. "It's alright. I am not teasing you about it... So you should thank me!" she said smugly. She winked and walked away, leaving the giggly Lia and the blushing me in the room. Why... Why was my heart thumping faster when I spoke to Ryujin? Was she... Getting a lot more attractive today? Or... No. That was just because of what I had been reading last night. "Come on, Chaeryeong. Let's have lunch," Lia said. I nodded. "Y–Yeah. Let's go," I said. We went out, joining the girls in the dining room. I sat across the table from Yuna, who had obviously just showered, but strangely, she didn't make eye contact with me. I shrugged and proceeded to eat. I was hungry anyway after skipping breakfast. As we finished our lunch, Yuna and I caught glances of each other. Strangely, she blushed red and smiled, biting her lower lip. Yeji noticed this. "Yuna-ya, are you okay? Why are you blushing so red?" she asked. Yuna looked up. "Oh? It's... I'm fine, Unnie! Ya... The food's

really good! I love the gamjatang!" she said, changing the subject. Yeji stared at her confusedly, but then she shrugged. Ryujin chuckled and stole a glance at me, raising her eyebrows a couple times, as if knowing something. I blushed and cleared my throat. "R–Right! Come, give me your plates! I'll do the dishes!" I said, wanting to avoid an awkward situation. Yeji frowned. "Eh? But you just washed last night!" she said. Lia giggled. "Ya! Don't remind her! I was supposed to do the dishes!" she sniggered. We all laughed, but Yeji sighed and shook her head. "You two maknaes... You're acting weird..." she mused. "I–I don't know what you're talking about, Unnie!" I said, taking the plates quickly. I rushed over to the sink, beginning to wash the dishes. I heard the others talking and joking, before one by one, they started leaving the dining room. They settled in the living room playing games, by the sound of it. That was good. I needed my time alone to collect my thoughts. Suddenly, I felt someone creeping behind me, and slowly embracing her arms around my waist. Her flowery scent filled my senses, and I felt her fresh breath behind my ear, making me shudder. I knew who it was, so I turned to see her. "Y–Yuna..." I shuddered. "Unnie~" she whispered while staring at me lovingly. On any other day, I wouldn't find this weird at all. We were all touchy with each other, and Yuna was one of the most touchy, if not the most touchy. But... After what happened last night... I found her touchiness a little different. Oh God... Maybe Yuna really enjoyed what I accidentally did to her last night! "Y–Ya..." I uttered. Yuna giggled. "Unnie... Can I sleep in your bed again tonight?" she whispered in my ear. "W–What... Are you... Talking about..." I whispered. "It was... really good last night... And I... Want to repay you..." she whispered. "R–Repay?" I stuttered. Repay? She... She wanted to do it to me? My mind went back to the time I touched myself while I was reading Lovesick Monster. The way my finger was wet, how easily it could have slid inside. And... That little protruding thing above my... Vagina... What... What would happen if someone touched it for me? Someone... As beautiful as... Yuna? "What do you say, Unnie?" Yuna pressed. "I–I... I... I don't know, Yuna..." I stuttered. She giggled. "Let me know, Unnie. I'll be in your room..." she whispered. Suddenly, I felt her long tongue slithering out. She licked my ear from top to bottom very, very slowly. I shuddered, and I felt... My... Panties... Getting wet? I closed my eyes, and my trembling hands slipped off a plate I was drying. If not for the rubber-carpet that was on the floor, it would have been broken. Still, the loud thud alerted everyone in the living room. "Chaeryeong-ah! You okay?" Yeji asked. "Y–Yes, Unnie! Just... Slipped!" I replied. "Be careful!" Lia yelled. I glared at Yuna, who giggled and winked at me naughtily, before skipping out of the kitchen. I sighed and continued doing the dishes, before drying my hands and went out. Everyone was on the couch. Ryujin and Yuna were watching All of Us Are Dead on our big TV set, Lia was typing on her phone, her head resting on Yeji's thighs, who were checking instagram on her phone. I sat down on the single sofa. I took out my phone, and naturally checked on the Discord server again. As usual, members were talking to each other, commenting on various idols and the books, including this guy with '하준 오빠 - 가지마' as his username, who kept lusting over Lovelyz Lee Mijoo, and a guy called 'Jisoo's Husband' who kept replying 'MOMMY' to every idol picture posted in the channels. I stifled my chuckle. They were a funny bunch. TRIXIE must be Triskaideka, right? One of the authors? Yes, I could see the Author-Ness tag behind his name. So that makes Dpair... NotImportantNotAtAll? And who's this Nichusimp... Why Semi-Author-ness? Out of curiosity, I checked out the Itzy channel, not knowing what I'd find in there. Oh... My... God... So many pictures of... Me? And gifs too... I felt my face blushing. They were...

Talking about my... Ass... During the MAMA performance... And the performance at SBS Gayo Daejun? Gosh... I guess... I was a little carried away that night. I decided to type in the general chat channel. Ah... Dpair replied. Nichu too... And TRIXIE! That was nice. Oh wow. I was the only Korean in the channel, huh? Wait... But TRIXIE wrote in Hangul pretty well. Maybe he'd learned the language. 'Isn't the Lia bias a Korean?' typed 하준 오빠 - 가지마. Oh? Another Korean on the server? And... A Lia bias? Nice! Where was this guy... Hang on. TRIXIE mentioned him... LiaCutie...? Strange. He'd been here longer than I was. Hang on... Let's check on his activities. Hmm... This guy didn't act the same way as the other readers. He wasn't theorizing about the stories. He didn't talk to other readers about K-pop... He only commented on a few pictures... Mainly Itzy ones. He definitely didn't obsess over the three main groups currently in the story, not even Aespa, which was the next group in line if I guessed correctly. What he frequented was the Itzy channel. That's... Weird? Itzy was almost entirely absent from the story yet.

I assumed most members of this server were either Blinks or Onces... With the occasional die-hard Luvies like Guimma and, well… 상준 오빠 - 가지마 with his obsession over Lee Mijoo and… Fromis_9’s Lee Saerom? Anyway, it wasn't like Midzys would discover this server accidentally. He's online. Should I engage in a conversation with him? Yeah. That'll be a good chance. He must be Midzy, and the chance to speak to a Midzy without him recognizing who I was didn't come that often. Time to practice my English with this guy. I opened the private chat section and chatted with him. 'Hello, LiaCutie! Are you a Midzy?' He replied promptly. 'Hi! Not precisely! Lol :p' 'Not precisely'? For someone with 'LiaCutie' as his username, with Lia's photo as his profile picture, that was... Strange. Oh. He's typing... 'What about you? You must be a Midzy! Who's your bias?' I was about to type, but then he followed up with another message. 'Lemme guess: Chaeryeong? LOL! :p :p' I frowned, and quickly typed my reply. 'No. Not a Midzy also, but... I have a bias in Itzy.' I waited anxiously for his reply. A second later, it came. 'Lol! Can you guess my bias?' That's not too hard... 'Lia, right?' 'Ddaeng! Not Lia! It's Yeji! 1-0!' My eyes widened in surprise. That... That's really weird! Why would he name himself LiaCutie and put on Lia's picture as his avatar if his bias was Yeji? I heard a giggling sound. I took a glance at the others, finding Lia still relaxing her head on Yeji's thighs, with Yeji absentmindedly stroking her hair. Lia was typing while smiling wide, and when she finished, my phone vibrated. H–Hang... Hang on. It was a Discord message from LiaCutie. 'You seem to know Itzy, right?' I typed my reply promptly. 'I guess. Why?' 'Do you think you know what each of the girls like in person?' I furrowed my brows. 'Why... Do you ask?' 'Just asking, wanting to get your opinion.' 'Opinion on what?' Another giggle. I shot a glance at Lia. It was her. She typed on her phone again, and then another message came into my Discord private inbox from LiaCutie. Hang on.... No way! That... That can't be true, right? 'Ah well... Let's just say I'm writing a book, and I'm not sure how they'd respond in romantic situations to each other...' LiaCutie texted. 'What are you thinking so far?' I replied. 'What do you think Yeji's into? As in... Kinks,' LiaCutie texted again. I raised an eyebrow. 'Why would I know what Yeji's into?' I replied. I was lying, of course. I knew what Yeji was into, after living with her for such a long time. But... Hang on. Who was I talking to? If it was just some random guy, then there would be no harm in telling him, since it wasn't like he'd have any chance of ever dating Yeji in real life. But... What if...? I shook my head. No. It can't be. I was talking to a random guy on Discord. Maybe a writer–since a few members in the LSMVerse discord server were writers too. Maybe he was preparing an Itzy fanfic. Yeah. That should be it. I lifted my thumbs and started typing. 'Okay. Listen: Yeji

seems like she's the romantic girlfriend you'd hold hands with and introduce to your parents, right? Especially with her new haircut. But... If you've seen the glare in her eyes, then you'd know she's dangerous.' LiaCutie typed in her reply. 'So dangerous, so so so dangerous. LOL!' I chuckled silently. This guy had a sense of humor! I continued writing. 'Yeah... You'll never know whether she'll bite your neck and leave a mark, or push you down and devour your... Um... Shift stick... Assuming you're a guy.' I closed my eyes and cringed at my own writing. 'Shift stick'? Come on, Chaeryeong! You could do better than that! 'Woah... That's insightful!' LiaCutie said. I was still thinking what to reply when he texted again. 'Unfortunately I'm not a guy. Lol. Do you think she likes girls?' I glanced at Lia, who was giggling while staring at her phone. Okay. Hold up. This... This girl... Was she...? Oh my god! She was, wasn't she! She was actually Julia Choi! This was huge! So... She... Lia-unnie... Actually read Lovesick Monster too? And she was active in the Discord server, even! How did she find the fanfic? Did Mina-unnie recommend it to her too? And she... Oh... Oh my God... That's why she was sleeping in Yeji-unnie's room these past few days! 'What do you think?' Lia asked again. What... How should I answer her? I wanted to be sure that I was actually chatting with Lia-unnie through Discord, but I didn't want her to know that she was talking to me! Also... I was... Curious about her apparent interest in Yeji-unnie... And I wanted to know more! Alright, alright... Think, Chaeryeong! Think! 'Oh, um... Well... I do think she has a thing for girls, but.. She just doesn't know it yet.' I decided to reply honestly. I did think Yeji had a thing for girls, but she was still unsure about it, unlike Yuna, who was straight-up bisexual, or Ryujin, who was definitely lesbian, or... Or myself? I wasn't even sure. But... I never thought... Lia-unnie? 'I know right! What if... The main character of my story is very close to Yeji... She's... Let's just say she's madly in love with her, especially after she cut her hair short. But... She's afraid that Yeji only thinks of her as a good friend!' texted Lia through Discord. So that's what Lia-unnie was thinking! I noticed how she stole a lot of glances at Yeji since our leader cut her hair adorably short, and... Gosh... This was a confession, and honestly I thought they'd be cute together! I should encourage her, shouldn't I? Yeah. I should. 'Alright... Umm... At least in my opinion, Yeji is obviously very close to Lia, not only because they're the unnies, but also because there's an absolute connection between them. They're comfortable being physical with each other, and I think the only thing hindering them from being happy with each other is themselves. No one is initiating the first move! I heard... They even sleep together on the same bed nowadays. Isn't it foolish that nothing is happening between them? If your character is like the real, loveable Lia, I think she should make the first move.' I sent the long message, and I glanced at Lia. She stared at her phone seriously, like she was reading something important, like she was reading a long-ass message someone had just sent her on Discord. Yes. It was definitely her. Oh damn. As she finished reading my message, she pressed the power button, and with a serious look, she looked up at Yeji-unnie. Yeji looked down and smiled, making her sharp eyes disappear. Lia smiled and scrunched her nose, before taking up her phone again. She typed, and soon my phone vibrated. 'Thank you. She's going for it tonight.' And then... To my surprise... The account was deactivated. Oh. My. God. Lia-unnie... Was in love with Yeji-unnie. And she... She was really going for it tonight. She was going to... With Yeji-unnie... She would... They would... Oh my God! I stared at the two unnies. Lia had sat up, embracing our leader tightly, who looked at Lia confusedly, but hugged her back anyway, giggling. I smirked. She still didn't know that

she had just talked with her own member on Discord. Thank God I was a better liar than she was. "Yeji-ya... Can I sleep together with you again tonight?" Lia asked Yeji. I thought I caught a hint of nervousness in her voice. Yeji looked at Lia while raising an eyebrow. "Mwo-ya? Again? Chaeryeong would feel lonely!" she said. "You and Yuna together in the room would make it practically impossible for Yeji-unnie to sleep!" quipped Ryujin. "Ya! I'm not that loud!" exclaimed Lia loudly. Ryujin scoffed. "You literally just screamed loudly," she muttered. Damn. Why did she have to be so cool? Lia stuck out a tongue at Ryujin before looking at me. "Chaeryeong wouldn't mind, would she?" she asked. I was about to agree with her, when suddenly I felt a pair of long arms hugging me from behind, followed by Yuna's excited voice. "Don't worry, Unnies! I'll sleep with Chaeryeong-unnie again tonight!" she squealed. "Y–Ya! Yuna!" I protested. She then rained my cheeks and neck with playful kisses. I squirmed and squealed, but... But... Why did I... Enjoy this? We were used to giving each other kisses every now and then, but... Why did her kisses now feel... Lustful? Lia and Yeji laughed. "Well... That solves it! Gomawo, Yuna-ya!" exclaimed Lia. Ryujin scoffed again. "Lesbians..." she uttered with her breathtaking smirk. Was this... Really happening? Tonight... Yeji and Lia, and... Yuna and I? But... But... I wanted Ryujin... This wouldn't count as cheating, right? I hadn't even confessed to her anyway that I liked her. I... I guess doing it with Yuna wouldn't do any harm. I also knew Ryujin had done it multiple times. I knew she did it with Lia-unnie back then... So... If... If I'd ever get a chance with Ryujin, wouldn't it be nice if I had some experience... Some practice on my own? So that I wouldn't look like a total novice. And... Who better to practice with other than a visual princess like Yuna? Oh God... It was really happening tonight, then... * * *

A lot of minor things happened later that afternoon. Manager-unnie came to visit us to do a routine welfare check. She reminded us to not post any photos on social media revealing our new hairstyles for our 3rd anniversary, to keep it a surprise for Midzys. She also reminded us to cover our heads if and when we decided to go out.After she left, we each did our own exercise and played some games, before taking shower. We wanted to order food today after eating home-cooked meals for last night's dinner and today's breakfast and lunch, so we ordered roasted chicken from a nearby shop. The delivery came, and Yeji, Yuna, and I set up our dinner table. As I took some plates from our cabinet, I noticed Lia entering Yeji's room, carrying something from our shared room. It was a medium sized box. I was curious. "I'll... Go to the toilet for a while, Unnie," I found an excuse. "Alright," Yeji nodded. I followed Lia secretly, and stopped behind the corner of a wall before peeking through the open door of Yeji's room to see what she was doing. Lia was kneeling on the floor, pushing the box beneath the bed. "What the fuck are you doing?" I jolted as I saw Ryujin walking past the room from the direction of the toilet. Luckily, she wasn't saying it to me; she was talking to Lia. I looked at Lia, who was now busy looking at the big mirror in Yeji's room. "I–I... I'm just using the mirror here! It's the largest mirror in our dorm, and I want to see my whole body," Lia said, surprisingly calm.Ryujin scoffed. "Don't worry, Babe. Your body is smokin' hot," she said, pointing two finger-guns at Lia. Lia gasped as her jaw dropped, but she welcomed Ryujin's compliment by doing a body roll, which made Ryujin laugh and shook her head. She walked inside her room, and I walked back to the kitchen. Okay. Now I really wanted to know what that box contained! We had dinner peacefully, joking and talking like we always do, and after dinner, I looked around the table. "Who's washing today? I shouldn't be washing for the next three days!" I quipped. The girls laughed. "Ya! It's your turn now!" Yeji pointed at Lia. Lia nodded and chuckled. "Fine, fine!" she said. Lia stood and began washing the dishes, with Yeji being kind enough to help her. Ryujin went straight to the living room to continue playing her Nintendo Switch. Right. This would be the perfect opportunity to sneak under Yeji's bed and see what Lia hid down there. I stood up, but then Yuna held my arm, tugging it gently. I looked at her, finding her big, beautiful eyes staring at me. "Text me when you're ready," she mouthed silently. I blushed, but nodded. "O–Okay..." I replied. Alright, yes. I admit it. Yuna looked delicious. I found myself expecting our encounter tonight. But first... The box. I went out, and snuck past Ryujin who was busy playing in the living room. I tiptoed to Yeji's room, entered quickly, and bent myself under the bed, looking underneath. There. That's the box. I reached inside and took it out. I opened it...A long... Pink... Rubbery thing. What... What is it? I reached inside the box and took out the rubbery thing. I saw the ends of the long rotund thing, and... I realized it. "Ohmygodohmygodohmygod!" I whispered under my breath. It was a dildo! A double-ended dildo... It was... So... Thick and large... At least 10 inch... And... Ew ew ew ew ew ew! Why was it slimy! Omomomomo.... Was it... Was it... Used? Out of panic, I dropped the dildo onto the floor. No. Wait. Hang on. I should place it back. Oh shit. I quickly picked the dildo up using the tips of my fingers and placed it back inside the box, closing the lid securely. What the fuck... What did I just... Found... Oh my God... Lia was going... To use it on... In... Yeji? Or... Was it the other way around? Footsteps. Shit. I heard footsteps. Two sets of them. Shit! It must be Lia and Yeji! Should I go out? No. They'd find out. I should hide! But where? Shit. The footsteps were getting closer! Oh. Okay. Under the bed! I ducked and slid under the bed, taking the box with me. In my heart, I was

thankful that Yeji was super tidy and clean, I couldn't even find dust under her bed. I looked out and used the large mirror that went all the way to the floor to check my surroundings. The door opened, and in came Yeji and Lia, talking and chuckling. Yeji sat on the bed, while Lia stood in front of the mirror. I panicked for a second, thinking that Lia would catch my reflection, but then I breathed a sigh of relief as I realized that it was super dark under here, I myself couldn't even see my reflection in the mirror. "Ugh... I think I should sleep early tonight... We talked too long last night and slept at around 3am, right?" Yeji said. Lia chuckled. "Alright... Straight to bed then... But... Not to sleep yet," she said. What the fuck? So... They... They weren't planning to go out? But... What about me? Would I be trapped under the bed like this until they're asleep? And I knew they weren't going to sleep early tonight... Not after Lia prepared this... Large dildo...OH FUCK! Lia was going to look for the box under the bed! "Mwo-ya?" chuckled Yeji. "What is that supposed to mean?" "Yeji-ya..." Lia whispered sultrily. I felt the hairs on my neck standing up. "Hmm?" Yeji replied, her voice surprisingly calm. "I... Have a question..." Lia said. Yeji chuckled. Did she know? Was she clueless? My God. Why did I find this exciting? I kept staring at the mirror, watching the two unnies seduce each other. Lia slowly walked towards Yeji and sat next to her on the bed, her feet right in front of my face. "What is it?" asked Yeji, speaking slowly with a deeper voice. "Do you think... I'm... Pretty?" purred Lia. Yeji stared at Lia. "Mwo-ya... What kind of question is that?" she chuckled. "Just answer me..." Lia pressed. Yeji giggled and stared at Lia. "Of course... You're pretty. Was that an awkward answer?" Yeji asked. Lia stared intently into Yeji's sharp eyes. Why was this... Turning me on? "You think so?" Lia whispered, her face inching closer towards Yeji. Our leader nodded. "Uh-huh..." Yeji whispered. Okay. She definitely knew what was going on... But... Why was she so calm? She didn't even flinch as Lia brought her face closer and closer towards her. Lia slowly closed her eyes, and Yeji did too. My heart was beating my chest. Oh god. Oh god oh god oh god... They were gonna... Lia's lips met Yeji's. They kissed. They kissed slowly, sultrily, passionately. Yeji didn't even look surprised, nor did she pull herself away from Lia. They kept kissing, and slowly, their hands started caressing each other. Oh shit. So... Was it true? Yeji... Yeji was lesbian? But I thought...Yeji and Lia's bodies relaxed, and soon, they both laid down onto the bed. They kept kissing, like they were in love. Maybe they were. Why did I... Why did I want to keep watching? "Yeji-ya... I... I like you..." Lia whispered. Yeji giggled softly. "I know... I like you too..." she whispered. I heard Lia gasping. "You do?" she asked. Yeji nodded. "I just wished you'd told me sooner..." she whispered. Lia lifted her feet. Now both of them were fully on the bed. I heard squelching sounds. O–Omo... Did they... "Y–Yeji... Mmh... I... I've... Liked you... Mmm... For... So long..." Lia whispered, sounding weird. I immediately realized that she was speaking with Yeji's tongue inside her mouth. "Me too.. Mmmh... Lia..." Yeji moaned. A ruffling sound, then... Something dropped on the floor in front of me. A top. A yellow top. That was... That was Yeji's top. A pink one followed... Lia's. A pair of white shorts, then a denim one. What... I tried looking into the mirror. O–Oh my God... They're... They... A pink bra, then a blue lacy one. W–What...I shifted a little bit to my left, and as I looked into the mirror... Oh my God... They were both... Naked. Only wearing their panties. My eyes widened as I saw Yeji's plump breasts, her pink nipples being toyed with by Lia's tongue. Yeji moaned and sighed, and she pressed Lia's face onto her chest. She squeezed Lia's smaller breasts, and her other hand slipped to Lia's... Oh Gosh... She was rubbing her... Her...

Pussy... "A–Ah... Y–Yeji..." "L–Lia... Y-Yes..." Suddenly, my phone vibrated rather loudly. Shit! Did... Did they notice? I froze under the bed, trying to see if the two unnies noticed my presence in their room, but... They kept moaning louder and louder. They... They hadn't noticed. I hurriedly opened the message. It was Yuna. 'Unnie~Where are you? I'm so ready...' I grimaced and was about to reply, but then another message came. It was a picture. I opened it... W–What? It was a picture of her long, thick tongue. 'This is what you're missing, Unnie~:p' I felt something inside me heating up. There was a spot in my body that felt itchy suddenly, and I... I wanted that tongue to scratch it. I shuddered. Suddenly I remembered the long and slow lick she gave me after lunch earlier. 'Yuna-ya! Wait for me! I'm stuck somewhere!' 'Where are you, Unnie? I'm super horny~~' What... Were we... Sexting now? 'I want you, Unnie. I want to lick your smokin' hot body all over...' she typed. Yeah. We were sexting. I couldn't stop myself from imagining Yuna licking my entire body while staring at me with her beautiful big eyes. H–Hang on. I felt something wetting my panties. O–Oh God... 'Please wait for me! I... Want you too!' I replied. 'Unnie, if you don't come here by 10pm, I'll knock on Ryujin-unnie's door' she teased. FUCK! That was the worst outcome that could possibly happen! I wanted to practice with Yuna so I could do something with Ryujin! I didn't want Yuna to... To enjoy Ryujin all alone! That was so unfair! I wanted Ryujin to fuck me hard, to dominate–H–Hang on... D–Did I just think that? Ohmygodohmygodohmygod... 'No! Don't! I'll be there ASAP! Please! I swear! I want you, Yuna!' I replied panickedly. 'If you can gimme a good reason why I should wait for you, then I'll consider it~:P' she teased. I grunted silently. Fuck this girl! Come on, Chaeryeong! Think, think... A-ha! I'm actually stuck under Yeji-unnie's bed. She's... She's currently doing it with Lia-unnie,' I typed as fast as I could. 'JINJJA?' Yuna replied. 'I'll send you a video' I said. I opened my camera, and was about to record Lia and Yeji making out, when suddenly they stopped. Lia straightened herself, hands still on Yeji's breasts, and she giggled. "I brought a toy..." she giggled. Yeji gasped. "Oo... Naughty Lia..." she sniggered. Lia chuckled and reached down under the bed. In my panic, I shifted my head to the right so that her hand wouldn't touch my face. I pushed the box onto her, and thankfully, she didn't notice that it was practically being handed to her. She pulled the box up, smiling cutely in front of Yeji. "What's in the box?" asked Yeji. Lia giggled. "It's... This..." Lia whispered, opening the box. Yeji gasped as she saw what was inside. "L–Lia! I–It's... So... Big! That's... That's way bigger than I've ever been with!" Yeji said. Lia's eyes widened. "Is it really?" she asked. Yeji nodded. "Y–Yeah... My exes were all... Mediocre," she giggled. Lia sighed and pecked Yeji's lips. "Then... You deserve better..." she whispered. So Yeji was bisexual. That made sense. Lia took out the large dildo. Yeji giggled and pulled her panties down, revealing a lightly trimmed bush. Lia chuckled and wiggled the dildo in front of Yeji's face, who looked so hungry and lustful. "Fuck..." she whispered. "I... Want it in me..." "Patience, Baby... First... Let me eat you..." Lia growled. This! I should record this! I pulled out my phone again, and this time, I pressed the record button. Yeji spread her legs wide, and Lia smiled her adorable smile before stooping down, eating Yeji's pussy. Yeji tilted her head back, closing her eyes. Her mouth gaped open, and a loud moan escaped it. "A–Ah... L–L–Lia! Y–Ye–sss... M–Mhh..." she moaned. Slobbering sounds... And it got louder and louder. W–Woah... Lia looked... So good. I... I knew she did it with Ryujin before... Maybe multiple times. What... What would it feel like? Yeji's hands grabbed Lia's head, pressing her face further into her crotch, her gasps and moans became louder and

louder. "F–Fuck! L–Lia! Y–YES! Yes! L–Lia! Lia... I... I... LIA! L–LIA!" Yeji gasped loudly, and then she stifled her scream by pressing her palm against her mouth. Her body convulsed, and soon, a milky white liquid gushed out of her pussy, spraying Lia's face. W–What? What... What was happening... Oh... My... God. Lia giggled as she licked Yeji's pussy juice from around her lips. Yeji slumped onto the bed, gasping and panting. She took off her own panties, throwing it onto the floor, and then placed the large dildo on Yeji's pussy, rubbing it against her labia. Yeji squirmed. "L–L–Lia... M–Mhh..." "I think you're ready..." whispered Lia. Yeji nodded repeatedly. "I... Want... Please..." she stuttered. Lia nodded. She positioned herself on top of Yeji, and slowly, she impaled herself onto the dildo. Her mouth gaped wider and wider as inch by inch the dildo entered her own pussy, making it stretch wider and wider... And then, as it was inserted halfway in, she stopped, panting hard. "F–Fu–Fuck... A–Are you... Ready... Y–Yeji?" she stuttered. Yeji only nodded, already overcome by lust. Lia smiled and wiggled her hips, and now it looked like she had a large pink dick standing hard from her crotch. She placed the other end of the dildo onto Yeji's pussy, and while staring deeply into Yeji's eyes, she pressed in. "A-A–A... A–Ah... L–L–Li... Li–Lia... N–Ng–Nghhh... F–F–Fuck!!!" Yeji moaned loudly. Lia kept pressing in, and the further Lia entered, the more Yeji's eyes crossed. Her tongue stuck out, and her body tensed and jolted. Soon, the other half of the dildo disappeared inside Yeji's vagina, and the two unnies stared at each other, their faces only an inch apart. "Fuck... Me... Baby..." Yeji whispered. Lia pulled her hips away, and then she slammed back, making Yeji gasp. Lia moved her hips slowly at first, but then she picked up pace, pummeling Yeji's gaping pussy fast. "S–Shit! Y–Yeji! S–So... G–Good!" Lia squirmed. "A–A... Ah... A–Ah! F–Faster! Lia! F–Faster!" Yeji demanded. The younger unnie obeyed her. She moved her hips even faster. Yeji's entire body was red from pleasure, but Lia's face was red too. Sweat was dripping from their naked bodies, and somehow I felt the temperature in the room rising. That... And... My panties were literally soaking wet. "F–Fuck! Y–Yeji! I... I'm..." "Y–Yeah... M–Me... Me too! M–Me too! C–Cum... C–C.... L–Lia!" "Y–Yeji... YEJI! Y–Y... O–Ooh... Ffff... FUCKKK!" Lia exploded so hard, the dildo slipped out of her pussy. She jolted and fell back onto the bed, before arching her back up as more and more juice spilled out of her gaping pussy. Yeji came too, and she pulled the dildo out while practically attacking her own pussy, rubbing it rapidly as she came and came, stifling her screams by biting her own lips. I stopped the recording and sent it to Yuna. Fuck. Would... Would they continue? When could I ever leave this room? Did I have to watch their entire love making session? I mean... I had no complaints... But I wanted Yuna! I wanted to feel the same way! "Lia... Baby... I love you..." whispered Yeji. "I... Love you too... Yeji..." replied Lia. I looked into the mirror. Yeji had laid herself on top of Lia, and they were kissing. They both looked tired, but... That fire in Yeji's eyes. Lia had awakened the sleeping dragon. Shit! Who knew what Yeji would do now that she was super horny? "Lia... Turn around... I wanna fuck your ass..." Yeji said. WHAT THE FUCK? "H–Hang on... Let me... Breathe..." said Lia. Yeji chuckled. "I'm still horny..." she whispered, licking Lia's face like a hungry animal. Fuck. Fuck. Would they fuck all the way until morning? At that moment, I heard another notification coming to my phone. I opened it, and sure enough it was Yuna. 'Unnie... That was... Really hot. Too hot.' She sent me a video, her hand inside her panties, rubbing her own pussy. Hang on a second. Her panties... It was soaking wet, and the bed... Oh no. Two new bed sheets in two days? 'I think I came by myself watching the video. Sorry, Unnie.' 'Hang on, Yuna! I think they're

done. I'm just waiting for them to fall asleep'' I'm sleepy, Unnie. If I'm asleep when you come... Do anything to wake me up.' I cursed silently. Yeji just said she wanted to fuck Lia's ass... How long would that take? I looked in the mirror again, and to my surprise, Yeji was laying behind Lia, her hands cupping Lia's breasts while kissing her neck gently. Lia looked dead tired, her eyes closed, her breathing heavy. "Baby... There's always tomorrow..." Lia whispered. Yeji giggled. "And the day after... And the day after... I want you every day..." she whispered. Lia chuckled and turned her face to kiss Yeji softly. They kept kissing for a while, but soon, Lia drifted off to sleep. Yeji sighed and pecked Lia's cheek, and then... I couldn't believe my luck. She rested her head next to her new girlfriend, pulled the blanket to cover their naked bodies, and soon... Snores. I waited for a few more minutes just to be sure that they were both really asleep. When I felt it was safe, I crawled very, very slowly out from under the bed, making sure that I didn't make any sound. I tiptoed to the door and turned off the light, before opening the door without sound, and then gently closing it behind me. I breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily I was fit, so laying in such a tight space for such a long time didn't make my body ache. I glanced at the clock on the wall. It was almost 10pm. I could still hear Ryujin playing with her Nintendo Switch in the living room, so I turned towards my room with Lia, where Yuna was probably sleeping in right now. Somehow, I felt my heart thumping a little faster. After witnessing that hot sex between Yeji and Lia, I... I wanted to try it. Knowing how horny Yuna was this entire day, I knew I was about to experience something as explosive, if not more.I opened my door excitedly, and I found Yuna on my bed... She was snoring. I grunted. How could she? I was trapped beneath a bed, unable to do anything while soaking my own panties, and above me were two fucking unnies–I meant it in the literal way, not cursing–all the while she enjoyed masturbating by herself to the video I sent her, and now... She's asleep? Chuckling, I locked the door, before creeping onto the bed, uncovering the blanket midway through her torso. Her small, perky tits pointed right at me, as if they were inviting me to just... Feast on them. I looked up to her beautiful face. She was deeply sleeping, her mouth slightly open... She suddenly looked so vulnerable and enticing. I smiled as I gently dragged the blanket further down. She still wore her panties, the same panties I saw in the video she sent me. It was wet. Of course it was. Slowly, I rolled them down, revealing her bald pussy. It didn't look shaved... It looked like she never grew hair down there at all. Something told me to take a sniff. It smelled so clean... So... Fresh. As if instinctively, my face inched closer and closer into her crotch, and slowly, I stuck out my tongue. I licked her pussy once... Not bad. I looked up. Yuna didn't respond, still snoring cutely. I smiled and tried to remember how Lia did it earlier to Yeji... I should... Probably lick harder? Should I... Slobber her pussy? Yeah... Maybe.I leaned back in, and I opened my mouth wide. I have a thick pair of lips... I should use it. I started kissing her labia, sucking on each of them gently. H–Hang on... Why did it... Slowly opened for me? A–Alright... I stuck my tongue, and very, very slowly, I moved it in a rotational manner on her clit. "M–Mmh..." Yuna moaned. I looked up again, but she was still closing her eyes, only furrowing her brow a little. She did tell me to do anything to wake her up. So... I must be doing things right. I decided to eat her more aggressively. I licked further into her pussy. It was... Kinda sweet? I went further inside, and she wriggled slightly. I started sucking and eating her faster, and she wriggled further. Hang on... What if... I slip a finger inside? Nervously, I slipped one in. It got sucked inside with no resistance. W–what the hell? She was so tight!

It... It was so warm. Alright. Two then. Yuna jolted. "M–Mmmh... Unnie..."She was almost awake. I doubled my efforts. I licked her clit while fingering her pussy, and I heard her moaning louder. I looked up. Her eyes were still closed, but her fingers traced her own naked tits. She felt it. This was good. Should I... Be even more aggressive? I stuck another finger in while moving my hand quicker. It was wet! S–Should I... Try four? "A–Ah! U–Unnie! S–Stop!" I looked up, finding Yuna already sitting, staring at me with a gaping mouth and heavy breathing. Oh shit. Did I hurt her? "S–Sorry, Yuna! I–I thought... T–This is how you want me to wake you up!" I stammered. Yuna giggled and nodded her head. "It is! But... That's not how you finger a girl!" she chuckled, fully awake now. "D–Did I hurt you?" I asked sheepishly. Yuna shook her head. "No... I almost came..." she smiled her big wide smile, winking at me. I felt heat rushing to my face. "O–Oh..." I muttered. "Come... Lemme show you how..." she giggled. Yuna sprung up and pressed my body with her hands strongly. I was surprised for a moment, but then I remembered... Even though she looked thin and frail, Yuna was physically the strongest among us. Without hesitation, she lifted my t-shirt, together with my bra. My tits just jumped out as I let out a squeal. Yuna gasped, her big eyes widened even bigger. "OMO! Unnie... Y–Your tits... They're so... Big..." she whispered breathlessly. I was blushing full red. I knew I had the biggest pair among us, but... No one had ever said it to me directly like that. Also, although we had seen each other's naked bodies before, I did feel like I had grown a little lately... So... Her surprise made sense. "Y–Ya... S–Stop staring," I stammered shyly. Yuna didn't listen. "And these nipples... So pink... So juicy..." she whispered. She reached out a finger and flicked my nipple, making me squirm. She leaned forward and sucked on my other nipple gently while squeezing my breasts, and I swear I felt some liquid just gushed out into my panties as she did so. "Y–Ya... S–Stop..." I objected, but I knew I didn't sound convincing. Yuna giggled. She pulled herself back as she slurped loudly. Without warning, she pulled my shorts and panties down. OH SHIT! I... I forgot to shave! Yuna gasped again. "Unnie! When was the last time you shaved?" she teased. "YA! I–It's... Not that much!" I exclaimed embarrassedly. I was a virgin, and wasn't sexually active until tonight, so... I never had the need to shave or trim my womanhood to look presentable to anyone. Still, Yuna chuckled as she looked me straight in the eyes. "Don't worry, Unnie... I like a little bush..." she whispered naughtily. With that, she spread my legs wide, bent down, and immediately started licking my pussy. My eyes flung open in an instant, and my mouth was too. Oh my God... Oh... Oh my God this was... Good! "Y–Yun... Yuna... A–A... Ah... A–Ah!" I moaned, unable to restrain myself.

I could feel her warm, long, and thick tongue slithering around my private part. It made me feel things I had never felt before in my life. My fingers reached the bed sheets and gripped it tightly. Yuna reached my clit, and... Ohgodohgodohgod... She started twisting her tongue around it, starting slow, but then picked up pace. Oh God... Oh... Oh... I'm...

Just when my body was tensing beyond what I could ever imagine doing, Yuna pulled herself back, slurping again like she had just finished eating some delicious fruit, a thin line of saliva connecting my crotch with her lips. Why did she stop? I didn't want her to stop!

As if reading my mind, Yuna giggled and stared at me. Why did she... Why did she look more beautiful suddenly? It was almost as if she was glowing under the subtle glow of the night lamp.

"Patience, Unnie..." she said. "Y–Yuna..." I whispered, and I was surprised at how much I sounded like I was begging for her.

She smirked and moved her cheek as if she was collecting saliva in her mouth. I stared at her confusedly.

"Yuna, what are you gonna..."

She spat on my pussy. Twice.

"There... It's wet enough now... Get ready, Unnie..." Yuna whispered. I was confused. "Get ready for wha–A–AH!"

Yuna inserted one finger inside, but evidently it was still too tight. She giggled and leaned her face closer to me, while her finger rubbed my labia gently.

"Relax, Chaeryeong-unnie... Don't be so tense..."

With that, she planted her lips onto mine. I squirmed and wanted to push her away, but at the same time, Yuna inserted her finger again into me, and I lost it. My muscles relaxed, and my pussy accepted her finger gratefully.

"M–Mhh... Nggh..." I heard a delightful moan escaping my mouth into hers.

Yuna stuck her tongue inside my mouth, and my tongue automatically twisted hers, as if meeting an old friend. I closed my eyes, enjoying our kiss more and more. So... This was what Yeji and Lia felt just now... It was... It was so good... So nice... It was so delicious.

Her finger slid in and out of me with relative ease. I felt warm. I felt my legs opening wider for her, I felt my hips moving on their own, following Yuna's rhythm. We broke off our kiss and panted for breath, staring into each other's eyes. "Ready for two?" she whispered. Shyly, I nodded.

Yuna smiled and pecked my lips, then she tried inserting another finger inside me. It went in easily, and I felt my mouth gaping as she started fingering me with more pace.

"Y–Yuna... I–I... I.... A–Ah... S–So... G–Good..." I gasped. "Do you feel it, Unnie?" Yuna purred.

I nodded, unable to answer with words. The only thing coming out of my mouth was a moan, and more moans... Louder, interjected with gasps and sighs. I flung my arm on her neck, clinging for dear life. I felt my body tensing again like it did a few minutes ago, and Yuna noticed this.

"Are you close?" she asked. "N–Ng... Ngh... Uh... Uh-huh... Y–Yuna... Y–Y–Yun–a... A–Ah... Ah..." I moaned messily.

She smiled and nodded, before leaning forward to eat my nipples again. My head jerked backwards. My left hand was clawing her back, while my right squeezed the bed sheets even tighter. My whole body tensed... I felt... I felt like I was about to explode! "A–Angh... Nhh... Y–Yuna! I... I–I..." "Cum, Unnie... Don't hold back... Just... Release..." she encouraged me.

Yuna fingered my pussy faster and harder using her index and middle finger, and soon I heard nasty squelching sounds filling the air. My mouth was gaping so wide, but no sound came out. I stared into her big beautiful eyes. She was breathing raggedly, sweat dripping from her forehead.

Suddenly, Yuna twisted her hand on my crotch. Her thumb reached and pressed my clit, while her pinky pressed into my anus. "Y–YU–O–O... OH! Oooh... O–Oh... Y–YUNAAAA!!!!"

I screamed loudly as waves after waves of pleasure overtook my body. I felt like I had been electrocuted by thousands of volts of electricity. I felt my back arching, I felt my eyes rolling back to the back of my skull, and with that...I exploded.

I gushed out liquid out of my pussy again and again. It wasn't pee... It was kinda milky white... It was the same kind of liquid I saw gushing out of Yeji and Lia as they fucked each other earlier. My body jolted and convulsed, and I kept squirting and squirting, hosing Yuna's face, neck, tits, and torso with my pussy juice, until finally...

I slumped back onto the bed. I felt like I had just run a marathon. I panted, I gasped, I coughed. I tried catching my breath. My body was still shaking. I quivered like a fish on dry land.Yuna giggled and scooted closer to me. I opened my eyes to see her, and I saw that she could barely open an eye because of just how much I came on her. Her entire head was pretty much drenched in my liquid. Still, she smiled wide. "That's... How you made me feel last night, Unnie..." she whispered.

I wanted to say something, I wanted to reply, I wanted to tell her that I felt so good, that she made me feel so good, but I couldn't. I was simply too tired. She pecked my cheek and laid down next to me, smiling so beautifully.I slowly faded. My vision was blurry. The last thing I remembered was Yuna licking her fingers clean next to me on the bed, and then...

Everything went dark.

Rory !!! Lately tpt is on my brain. I have been thinking these scenerios for a while.

1. Al and Cae’s little sister in cano verse. She is a spitting image of her mother. The twins and Levi are so overprotective of her. Eren, being oblivious, flirts with her. What happens when the three Ackermann comes to get his ass?

2. Back to tpt universe, Mikasa and Eren are dating. One time, when Levi and reader were abroad for their business meetings, he visited her at her home. Al recognized Eren at one glance. He didn’t know his aunt was dating. When he saw them holding hands, sitting together, he suspected. So for further “investigation”, he dragged Cae (poor cae, he is always dragged). They followed the couple to the garden (btw, al stole Oluo’s phone). When they were about to kiss, al took photo. Mikasa saw him, (she didn’t inform Levi, knowing that he’s wary of Eren. Only reader knows) . Mikasa be like

3. I need to read more of Al and Mikasa’s friendship on canon verse. They are so precious 😭😭

san, little dove, hi !! this is why i'm still putting the epilogue on hold because i don't want to close tpt yet, i love that family of four so much to let them go :< now, these scenarios are absolutely amazing <33 (btw, i'll be using my chosen name for the twins' little sister --- elara)

1. let's say elara is just one year or two years younger than them. and her getting reader's genes??? that is one beautiful person right there whew. my headcanon for her in this canonverse scenario is she's planning on being a medic for the survey corps so she visits often to be the head doctor's assistant. you see, boys will always be boys. they see a pretty girl, they try to talk to her. so, in the infirmary, one can imagine what eren feels after waking up with elara's face right above him, the sensation of a wet towel fresh on his forehead (he fainted after overworking himself in one of hange's experiments). (if you've read heroes of olympus, the scene where leo and calypso first met, yeah, that's the one.) after that, the rest is history. eren constantly flirts with the poor girl without knowing that she's levi's only daughter. with the worst pick-up lines. pls eren, honey, you're embarrassing yourself.

as much as altair considers eren to be one of his best friends, he's chasing down eren the moment he hears "you know, no flower can compare to you, miss elara". if eren takes a step closer to elara, altair magically appears out of nowhere. caelum knows because armin talks shit about eren's pitiful attempts of flirting to him. the brunet will then feel his soul being sucked because of caelum's stare. it's so dead and blank and judging at the same time. oh, boy, when levi hears this shit, extra cleaning chores for eren jaeger. rip. these three will break him. we have altair ready to fight him, caelum sending death threats with a look, and levi being more levi than usual ... this boy won't survive. not to mention that they all look the same. nightmares.

reiner isn't informed of this so he flirts with elara, too, and once again signs his death certificate.

2. (idk if i was obvious but there was a hint, a tinyyy hint, that mikasa is dating annie in the tpt au but for the purpose of this ask, i'll take this as an au of an au dwhjd) mikasa will wreak havoc, i just know it. the moment eren goes home, the ackerman household is on fire. she loves the twins so much, yes, they're her only younger relatives but sometimes, she just wants to yeet them (only altair) out the window. caelum tries to sweet talk mikasa, being manipulative like her grand-maman, but to no avail. mikasa is angry and once mikasa is angry, there's no getting out of this mess.

3. mikasa and altair's friendship in canonverse is pure serotonin aaaaa i can write more scenarios of their friendship, plus cae and armin's friendship. since mikasa is constantly worrying over eren, altair finds it in himself to worry over mikasa even though the girl is older than him by months. at first, mikasa doesn't like this but eventually, she appreciates it to the point that she lets altair wash her scarf for her. it ends up smelling like one of levi's detergents but mikasa doesn't have to know that or else altair will be eating dust. they go to the marketplace together for day-offs, where altair buys strawberries for her. in short, these two act like the typical siblings, where they fight but in the end, still end up in the comfort of each other.

here’s my analysis of a 14-yr-old supernatural episode

so remember that episode where sam fucked a werewolf? because he related to her unwilling monstrosity? well that episode is actually just about dean starting to come to grips with his childhood and his sexuality.

if you ship w/ncest do not interact. this post is not anti-sam either btw. 

content warning: discussions of childhood trauma, internalized homophobia, guns, killing. 

does include some images with Image Descriptions following them.

[ID: An over-the-shoulder close-up shot from the episode, focused on Madison, the werewolf, as she cries. Dean is standing behind her. They are both looking at Sam, whose shoulder is on the edge of the frame. End ID.]

Brief episode recap just in case u don’t remember. This ep is 2x17 “Heart.” Sam and Dean are hunting a werewolf. They discover that the woman they interviewed, Madison, is a werewolf (not THEE werewolf, but one of them). Sam develops a lil crush on her <3 I wrote the majority of this after watching it for the first time in almost SIX years, so i was just vibing the whole time UNTIL the last shot changed it all for me. So let me explain!

Three important points that i will refer back to:

1. The episode begins with Dean being excited to hunt a werewolf because "what about a human by day, a freak animal killing machine by moonlight don't you understand? I mean, werewolves are badass. We haven't seen one since we were kids."

2. Then the episode centers on Sam and his relationship with the werewolf woman and his own monstrosity: "[Dean: Sam, she's a monster and you're feeling sorry for her?] Maybe I understand her."

3. BUT THEN the last shot of the episode is of Dean crying as music plays (see below for the specific lyrics) and then Dean jumps at the sound of the gunshot. That's it! That's the end of the episode!

[ID: For all three screencaps, Dean is looking torturously sad. Each one is zoomed a little bit closer to his face than the last. In the last image, Dean sheds a single man tear. The captioned lyrics for the first one say "Relax, child, you were there." The second says "but only didn't realize" and the third says "and you were scared." End ID]

Even though the story is supposed to be about Sam and his monstrosity, and partly about his relationship w/romance since this is the first person he’s slept with since Jess died (at least with what is shown on screen)...the Dean Sandwich tells us otherwise. We're supposed to be taking away something about DEAN here. Like, that's the whole purpose behind the last shot focusing solely on Dean instead of Sam who is AT THAT MOMENT, KILLING THE GIRL HE HAS FEELINGS FOR. It's literally a heartbreaking, devastating, super traumatic thing for Sam to be going through, but instead we're watching Dean as a single tear slides down his face lmao. It's because this episode is about DEAN, and furthering his story.

Let’s not queer this just yet. The death of the werewolf is about/representing his loss of innocence. It's a violent disconnect from his childhood. Point # 1 shows that he is fascinated by werewolves because since he was a kid he thought they were badass, not to mention all the werewolf films he references throughout. Then, through the music lyrics over that last scene, they mirror that theme of childhood. They’ve done this before, having the diegetic music directly reference what the characters are going through. No different here: Dean is the child they’re referring to.

I have to reiterate that that's the last thing we hear before the gunshot cuts the music short and then the cut to black. "You were scared" is the last thing we hear before the gunshot, as Dean cries. ALSO I have to reiterate that Dean was looking forward to killing a werewolf and shooting it himself. So it's super fascinating that, not only is Sam the one that kills the werewolf, WE DON’T EVEN SEE IT HAPPEN.

[ID: A medium-close shot of Dean as he looks at Sam, who takes up the right half of the frame. The caption says, “Sammy, I got this one. I’ll do it.” End ID.]

Am i gonna have to say this now? The werewolf is a metaphor, okay? It's a metaphor for his innocence, which is long-dead, forever doomed. I mean, a lot of kids love werewolves because they ARE badass! It's a classic monster that anyone could easily obsess over, and with Dean's childhood it must've seemed even cooler, knowing they're real and having the power to kill this "mythical" beast. So the way he's looking forward to killing one is the way a child imagines themselves as a hero.

But what happens instead is a tragic mercy killing. It's flipping his fantasy completely on its head, and it makes Dean realize that.....his fantasies are just fantasies. They aren't real, never would be. There's nothing heroic about killing this werewolf. It's tragic as hell. When he offers to kill her himself, it's just to relieve Sam's burden, but he's reluctant still. Because, as he keeps saying, he doesn't want to be a hunter! He doesn't want this life! He's tired of killing! And that's also what he's mourning as he cries and startles at the gunshot. His fantasies will never be real and his childhood could never have been normal and he never got a chance to be a kid because being a hunter was thrust on him at such a young age. And now it feels inescapable.

[ID: A gif of the slow zoom on Dean’s face as the single tears slips down his cheek. He jumps at the gunshot, then blinks and his lip wobbles. End ID.]

So now we can queer it :-) Of course all monster stories can be easily queered, but werewolves are popularly queered. The first example that comes to mind is An American Werewolf in London (1981) isn’t an overtly queer film (though it is Jewish!) but it’s definitely read that way by a lot of people!! Anyway the film was directed by John Landis which JUST SO HAPPENS to be the pseudonym Dean goes by in this episode. hmm. (Also, interestingly, the BTVS ep where the first gay character comes out references this film too)

[ID: Sam and Dean are standing close to each other. Sam is in the foreground, not in focus. Dean, behind him, says, “Landis. And Detective Dante.” End ID.]

There’s this essay about the queer werewolf that you can read here (and they also talk about fandom in it! very fascinating), where they say in the intro: “the werewolf seems an obvious choice as a queer monster with its identity-disrupting hybridity, as well as its atavistic, and, thus, disallowable sexuality.” A lot like Kristeva’s theory of the abject body! which is popular in queer theory. 

This episode is then queering Sam—his attraction to the werewolf makes him abject—but it also queers Dean thru the way his attitude towards the werewolf transforms (get it?) throughout the ep. His desire and eagerness to kill the werewolves is obviously ingrained in him from John’s parenting. Consider what he said in 2x03 “Bloodlust”: “And the way he raised us, to hate those things—and man, I hate them, I do.” In conjunction with the monsters in the show being seen as queer allegories (the gorgon, as an example of an explicit comparison), Dean’s excitement to kill the werewolf can be read as internalized homophobia and repressing any of his own feelings. 

Remember, though, right before that line in “Bloodlust,” he also said, “What if we killed things that didn’t deserve killing?” He’s really beginning to question whether all monsters are bad, and what it means to kill them. Is he also questioning what he believes of queer people? What John believed of queer people? The loss of innocence and queering both slot together through that final shot, imo: he’s crying because he realizes his fantasies aren’t real, but he’s also mourning the fact that he never could have had the chance to grow up without John’s control, and now it’s forever tainted his worldview. What else could he have been without that? (The answer is evident in 4x17 “It’s a Terrible Life.”)

Dean was taught to hate queer people but he doesn't want to. He wants to get out of the life but it feels inescapable. He wants to kill a werewolf and then when he has the chance, he doesn't want to. He actually cries as it's killed. It scares him, having to confront that what he thought he knew was wrong, but he knows all the same that he’ll never have the chance to have grown up without that.

Part 3! This is the last part, containing Beel and Belphie's sections below the cut. Please enjoy~

Part 1 | Part 2

~

Beelzebub:

Things were peaceful with the pregnancy for a while.

Even in the beginning, when MC was barely showing and faced very little issues, the sixth brother was waiting on her hand and foot

And he almost always had a smile on his face. He was just insanely happy about becoming a dad, about having a baby with MC.

He handled every thing more or less with stride.

When she started showing and the woman felt self-conscious about the fact that she was losing her figure, he'd hold her close and kiss her, telling how beautiful she was, that the belly she was growing made her no less so. In fact, it made her even more beautiful because to him, what her body was doing was a beautiful thing: growing and carrying his child, something that meant the world to him.

Yeah, he was a bit anxious about how things would go since Lucifer told them the pregnancy could become dangerous for her, but he was still truly happy for the two of them to become parents.

Unlike his siblings in the other timelines, Beel had no fears about how he'll be as a dad; he knew he had so much love to give their son or daughter and was ready to give it.

It wasn't until MC's fourth month when some concerns were raised.

MC's belly had grew at an unusual rate. Despite just entering her fourth month, her belly was roughly the size of what it should be in her sixth or even seventh month of pregnancy, according to Satan.

Beel didn't really know anything specific about pregnancy so he didn't see it as anything to worry about. I mean, he was the Avatar of Gluttony and this was his baby. MC developed quite the appetite because of this and was eating at least twice more than she used to. Surely that's all this was? And if so, the man couldn't see it as anything dangerous, at least.

Still, MC's anxiety grew over it, causing him talk over it more with the blonde to figure out if there was anything he could do for her.

And so the time came; the rune! Satan drew the rune over the human's belly to collect the data they needed.

After a minute or two of absorbing the data, the blonde raised an eyebrow.

"What is it?" MC asked.

"It... well, I suppose for a start, Beel is correct that his sin is part of the reason for the growth spurt." Satan began. "But only partly."

Beel leaned towards his brother, listening closely.

"However, there are some more difficult elements at play here." The fourth brother continued. "The most pressing being... the number."

"I... what?" The woman stared at the demon in front of her.

"It seems you two are having twins. Two girls, in fact."

Beel immediately pulled MC in for a hug. The woman cried heavy tears, but they were paired with a smile. The big guy teared up as well.

"Twins. Beely, we're having two little girls." She said from inside his arms.

"I know." The man pulled back and gave her a sweet kiss before laying both hands on her belly. "Our little girls--"

"I hate to interrupt," The Avatar of Wrath said, but of course, did so anyway. "But... do either of you realize the danger this poses to any degree?"

Beel turned back to his brother, furrowing his brow.

Satan sighed.

"Beel... one baby was going to be rough on her body, but two?" He pointed out. "Honestly Beel, she'll likely be eating at least as much as you, if not more, and that still might not be enough for her body. It's manageable now, but once she enters the last trimester, it'll be very difficult to keep two gluttony demon children fed as well as the mother they're siphoning nutrition off of faster than she can get it."

Basically, MC was going to be eating an extreme amount of food and still literally be starving. That's how Beel understood it at least.

The man looked at his girlfriend and frowned in worry. He hated feeling hungry and didn't wish that on his Muffin, but knew she'll end up feeling even worse than that.

"Is there anything I can do for her now?" The redhead asked.

"Right now... all we can do is stock up and hope for the best." The blonde answered. "Lucifer should probably be informed so things can be planned out."

And so he did. He walked his girlfriend to their bedroom so she could lie down for a bit while he went to Lucifer's study to inform him. The older brother was instantly stressed out, but let out a sigh and told him that he'll handle it.

Lucifer did warn Beel though that he probably won't be able to eat as much as he's used to because of this. The Avatar of Gluttony only nodded. If he had to go hungry to keep MC fed and alive then so be it. It was worth it to him.

As the months went by, Satan's predictions were proven true. By half way through her seventh month, MC was bedridden. Her belly had grown so big that she literally could not get out of bed on her own.

The woman was never alone though. She constantly had either Beel or Belphie or both with her to bring her food or carry her to the bathroom or cuddle her so she didn't get lonely.

What was equally as worrisome as her gravid boulder of a belly was the rest of her. The woman had lost so much weight in her thighs, arms, and face that she looked like she's been starved for years.

Each touch of Beel's was extra gentle because his girlfriend looked so fragile like this. He was afraid to hurt her even more, especially because of their girls' kicks.

The twins had inherited their daddy's strength. Occasionally, one or both of them would kick their mama a bit too hard, causing a bruise to form on her belly.

This led to lots of belly time. Beel would kiss and rub his Muffin's belly while talking to his girls, telling them how loved they are, but how they need to be more gentle with their mama.

Despite how difficult the situation was, both Beel and MC kept positive, smiling through it. After all, this was all for their little girls so of course it was worth it.

Good End:

Oh this poor woman. It took ten months of pregnancy, being a full month over due, but her twins were finally ready to come out into the world and meet their parents.

It was a long twelve hours for the couple; after all, these were two very big, overdue demon babies of gluttony being pushed out by a mom they've seriously weakened for months now. Yet despite the odds, both Mama and babies made it out okay.

Beel kissed his girlfriend's head and watched as she fed their girls. Their girls. This was really happening. Beel was a daddy. His sweet Muffin was a mama and those sweet girls feeding from her chest were their daughters, sporting his hair, eye color, horns, even delicate versions of his wings, but still had all of their mother's facial features. They were identical, unlike him and Belphie, but the demon truly hoped the two could forge just as strong of a bond together as he had with his twin.

When the two were done drinking, Beel took the one from MC's left arm and brought her into his own. Just then, a knock came to the door and it clicked open to reveal Belphie, who Beel texted a few minutes ago; he wanted his twin to be the very first one to see his daughters.

The couple smiled at him.

"Belphie, come see them." MC invited him to come closer.

The seventh brother approached the bed and gave a small smile.

"So... whose who?"

MC looked up to Beel, letting her boyfriend introduce them. The man smiled.

"This is Arsenia." The redhead stared down at the little girl in his arms, kissing her head before looking to the one in MC's arms. "And right there is Anais."

The three talked for a bit and watched the babies before MC needed to sleep. Beel laid the twins in their cribs before giving his Muffin a quick kiss on her head.

"Sweet dreams, Muffin. Thank you for everything." He smiled.

Bad End:

Twelve hours. Twelve hours of labor that seemed like it was going no where. The first baby was barely even crowning after all this time and MC was losing what remained of her strength. The woman honestly didn't know how much more she could take.

Beel felt so helpless as he watched her struggle. He was so hyperfocused on his Muffin that he hadn't even thought of food once during these twelve hours and even a non gluttony demon would be getting hungry right then.

It took another hour, but MC eventually got the head out and then the shoulders. But that was it. That was as far as she made it. She had lost the last of her strength and just... faded away at that moment. Beel couldn't accept it at first and just kept calling her name and shaking her shoulder, begging her to wake up. But she didn't. The man let out a howl of pain before collapsing on his knees in sobs. He cried for a minute before remembering his girls.

Beel quickly shot up and freed the first baby, Arsenia, from her mother's body. Anais... Anais, he never got to save. They never knew it, but the cord had been wrapped around her neck for most of the labor and she left them before even MC did.

And just like that, the Avatar of Gluttony lost his Muffin and one of his daughters. As he held tightly to Arsenia though, he vowed that he would never, ever let any harm come to her.

Beel was a loving, but fiercely protective father. His daughter handled it in stride for the first twelve years of her life, but after that, grew to really resent him. He never let her truly live her life. By fifteen, she actually ran away to the Human realm in search of what was left of her mother's side of the family, leaving a note saying that she couldn't handle him suffocating her anymore. Arsenia had succeeded in finding her grandma and Lucifer convinced Beel to just let her be for a few days. Then he came to get her and the two had a heart to heart talk.

The man didn't know how he could grow to let go more; all he knew was his fear. This was his daughter. His worse nightmare was losing her just like he did with MC and Anais. But he knew if he didn't learn then he was just going to lose her in another way. The man just didn't know what to do anymore. Not without MC, who kept him grounded. Not without MC, who he sees everytime he looks at his daughter's face. And so he was stuck feeling desperate and lost and just wanting his daughter to understand him and be happy.

Belphegor:

After the two's three month fight, Belphie was dedicated to taking care of MC.

He was an ass to her when he found out of she was pregnant and he knew it, never even denied it, but it came from a place of fear and love for his human.

Seeing just how important this baby was to her though... it was enough for him to bury his fear deep inside of himself for her. He had to; she needed him and he was not going to abandon her again.

Her second trimester was... well, let's just say he stepped in to support her at just the right time.

MC was always so exhausted and went through her days in almost a daze.

She even passed out at the dinner table one evening, face falling straight onto her plate.

Normally, the Avatar of Sloth would find this funny, but the pregnancy had him on edge.

She woke up fairly easily though. Just a couple shakes of her shoulder and the woman was lifting her head, wondering why there was mashed potatoes in her hair.

That was enough for him though. Belphie picked his girlfriend up and carried her to his room. He cleaned the food out of her hair before laying her back on the bed.

"I'm sorry..." She mumbled.

"Don't apologize, Butthead." He said softly, pulling her to his chest.

He knew she couldn't help it. In general, pregnancy could be tiring, but when the baby daddy is the literal Avatar of Sloth? Yeah, that made things harder.

The human fell asleep, barely staying conscious long enough to hear his response.

Belphie leaned in and kissed her forehead.

Even after such an early bed time, MC didn't wake up in the morning. Or the afternoon. Belphie was tense as hell, but tried to be patient.

Around 3pm, after sleeping for about twenty hours straight, the man tried shaking his girlfriend awake. But she wouldn't.

Belphie started freaking out and shaking her harder. She still wouldn't wake up.

He had to triple check that she was alive. And she was; the woman still breathed slow, sleepy breaths and had a calm pulse like any sleeping person would.

But she wasn't waking up? Why?

At some point, the younger brother wasn't sure when, but Beel had gotten up and rushed to Lucifer.

The oldest brother put a hand on his youngest brother's shoulder, stopping him from shaking the human anymore.

Belphie instantly shook the oldest off and gave him a glare.

"Stop, she's not waking up!"

"Shaking her is not going to help the situation."

Belphie was frustrated with the Avatar of Pride, but knew he was right. But what else could he do?

Lucifer did most of the talking with Beel after that. The two went back and forth on different things as Belphie simply held his girlfriend close.

Eventually, the two left the room and came back with Satan, book in hand. Belphie growled as the blonde approached the bed.

Satan sighed.

"Enough with that. I believe I know a way to figure out the problem."

And with that, the fourth brother explained step by step everything he was going to do.

The boyfriend scowled, but let the blonde do what he needed to do.

Satan opened his book and laid it on the bed. He gave a glance at the page before pulling down the blanket and raising up the woman's shirt.

Belphie growled again, but stopped as Beel laid a hand on his arm. The man then took a deep breath and just sat up, watching the blonde's movements carefully as he guarded his girlfriend. Yeah, Satan was his brother, but more importantly, that was his girlfriend the blonde was messing with. Whatever he does, he better be gentle.

The three other men watched as the Avatar of Wrath drew a rune around MC's navel. The woman stirred, making some noises in her sleep, but didn't awake.

When the blonde finished the rune, it glowed a very bright purple. The fourth brother raised an eyebrow at this.

"It's... not supposed to do that." The blonde picked up his book, rereading the passage once more.

"What did you do?" Belphie immediately jumps to the worse scenarios.

Satan waved off his words and continued to read the passage.

"It's suppose to glow green since I am the rune's scripter... however, it shows itself in your color."

The Avatar of Sloth didn't say a word; he didn't understand what was going on. He looked down at his human, whose sleep had turned a bit restless since the other man drew the rune on her.

The fourth brother finally sat down the book and reached out to lay his hand on the rune

...and was immediately shocked.

Satan cursed and pulled his hand towards his chest.

"What happened?" Lucifer asked.

The fourth brother just shook his head and breathed for a minute in order to keep calm.

"It... I seemed to be locked out." The blonde answered in a controlled voice.

"What do you mean, you're locked--"

"It means I don't have control over the rune!" The Avatar of Wrath snapped at the oldest before taking a deep breath. "Belphie, you do it."

"Do what?"

"Just put your hand on the rune; it'll do the rest."

Belphie stared at his brother for a minute before slowly laying his hand on MC's belly, right above the rune.

Suddenly, his eyes glowed as his brain was flooded with information.

Okay, first off, he learned the rune was purple because of the baby. As soon as they sensed the rune intruding on their safe place, the baby locked Satan out... apparently to protect themselves and their mother. Belphie only has access because they seem to trust him.

It also seemed that the baby has inherited their dad's protective instincts. Belphie approves.

That's not the only thing they got from him though.

The reason MC has been out cold for past twenty hours is because they inherited their dad's miasma powers, the ability that he uses with his aura to weaken people and put them to sleep

The very same power he used the night he killed MC.

Belphie wanted to curse, to scream, to aim all his anger at the little being doing this to her

But then he discovered why.

The baby... they sensed their mama's great distress, something MC had been trying so hard to hide from him.

It all went back to the first revelation; the baby was protective of their mother. They weren't just protecting her from outside forces, but from herself too.

Lastly, he learned learned that there was no single baby; there was two

Twins. A boy and a girl.

Belphie pried away his hand so quickly that he almost fell off of the bed. If it wasn't for Beel being right behind him and catching him, he would have.

"What is it?" His twin asked.

Oh dear devil, where should he even start? The seventh brother didn't even know if he wanted to say anything; he just wanted time to let it all sit within him, but he had three pairs of eyes trained on him at the moment.

Belphie glanced down at MC's sleeping face and a fresh wave of guilt washed over him. She was essentially being drugged into sleep by his kids. Once again, this was his fault.

Sensing how overwhelmed his twin was, Beel turned to Lucifer and said some things that the younger twin didn't even try to hear before the oldest and the blonde left the room, leaving the twins alone.

Belphie sat with his knees to his chest and hid his face in his arms.

Beel came up and hugged his brother.

"It's my fault..." Belphie's voice cracked.

The younger twin told the redhead everything, who listened patiently to all of it.

Beel's arms tightened around his brother.

"You know she wouldn't blame you for it." Beel told him.

"Doesn't change the fact that it's my fault..."

The twins talked together for a little over an hour. After that, Belphie fell asleep next to MC and Beel left to update Lucifer.

The conclusion? Wait. All they could do for now is wait. Satan looked into some human-safe potions that would be strong enough to wake MC if she took too long, but otherwise, waiting is all they could do.

Two days later, MC woke up in severe need of water. Beel ran to go get some for her as Belphie held her close, relief washing over him.

A few bottles of water later, MC asked what happened.

Belphie didn't know what to say. Or rather... how to tell her.

But he did. He admitted everything with a heavy heart and actually apologized to her.

Wide eyed, his girlfriend pulled him in for a hug.

"Hey... none of that." She told him. "I'm fine, I-- it's okay."

The two laid there and cuddled for a while. Belphie laid with his head on her chest, feeling it rise and fall with each breath (and being incredibly grateful for each one) as his girlfriend stroked his hair.

"So...twins?" She asked softly. "How...how do you feel about that?"

Belphie let out a sigh. How could she lay there and worry about him despite the situation she was in?

It didn't help that the demon honestly had no clue to how to answer that. How did he feel about any of this now?

He hated all of this in the beginning and he resented this baby for even existing. Since his experience with the rune and getting the chance to understand the babies inside of her... he really didn't know.

They seemed... anxious and overall just wanted to protect their mother. That was no different from Belphie himself.

His twins just... devil, he could feel his heart softening for them as he thinks over everything.

He didn't resent them anymore, but how did he feel about them? About there being two of them?

Honestly, it sounded like a hassle. Even once this whole pregnancy is done with, MC and him will have twice the responsibility; he was exhausted just thinking about it.

Still, he accepted it all.

"Dummy, you shouldn't be worrying about what I think." Belphie shook his head. "...How do you feel about it?"

Silence.

"A bit... scared." She admitted. "I don't want you to get overwhelmed again and... and leave me."

Belphie sat up and stared down at her.

"I'm not leaving you. Ever." He said firmly. "I know I was a dick in the beginning, but I'm staying with you. Period."

MC looked away.

"Y-Yeah, but..."

Devil, he had to keep her stress levels down or their twins are gonna drug her again. The demon leaned in and kissed his girlfriend before laying his head back down on her chest.

"I love you, Butthead." He mumbled. "I'm not leaving you or our kids so stop worrying."

He could feel her body relax underneath him.

Months went by with very little issues. She went through somedays with a really froggy mind and that was concerning on it's own because she was extra clumsy like this, tripping over furniture and starting little fires in the kitchen.

Belphie and Beel were always hovering around her because of this, ready to catch her when she tripped. They also took over her cooking duty and took turns. MC felt bad and said she should be contributing more, but Belphie would always silence her with a kiss and tell her she's contributing enough by carrying his little gremlins.

This made her smile because she knew he was joking. If he was able to joke about them like that then there must be affection for them underneath it all. And she was right.

Her coma-like sleeps were rare but they did happen twice more in her pregnancy. Luckily between Belphie and Beel, they were able to keep her stress down enough to where it usually wasn't an issue.

Good End:

MC had woken him up in the middle of the night. Her contractions started while she was asleep and woke her up when they got too strong for her to sleep through. Belphie woke up to her crying and clinging to him.

From 3am to 9am, a long six hours, MC labored hard till she pushed both twins out. Their son had his dad's dark hair while their daughter had MC's hair. Both had Belphie's purple eyes though. Their daughter had their dad’s horns while their son had their dad’s tail.

MC held their son close to her chest as Belphie held his daughter. He stared down at the little girl, who lightly squirmed in his arms and let out soft cries.

"Belphie..."

He looked over to his girlfriend, just to notice that he himself had been crying as he watched his daughter. The demon looked away, blushing. After a moment, he spoke.

"I know we really didn't talk about this beforehand... but I want to name her Lilith."

His girlfriend gave him a smile.

"Of course."

The two discussed it for a few minutes and decided to name their son Judas.

Bad End:

Things fell apart early in MC's eighth month. The woman suddenly just collapsed where she stood, seconds after whispering Belphie's name and trying to reach out to him. The man caught her before she hit the floor. She had suddenly fallen into one of her comas. But why? He thought his girlfriend was okay, but apparently she had been bottling some feelings up. She would have had to have been or otherwise their children wouldn't be doing this to her.

It was three days later that Belphie woke up in the night to feel that the bed was wet. Very wet. MC's water broke! She was still in her coma though so how did this work?? Even with the contractions, could she birth the twins if he she wasn't awake to push?? Belphie quickly woke up Beel who in turn rushed to Lucifer. The oldest called a doctor, who had Belphie stay outside of the room.

The youngest brother paced back and forth in the hallway, cussing, and overall more awake then he has been all of his demon life.

In the end... MC didn't make it. But the twins did. The twins survived even when his girlfriend didn't and that fact destroyed him.

For the first two years of their life, Belphie had absolutely nothing to do with his kids; Beel raised them for him. It wasn't because of what you might think. Belphie didn't resent his kids or blame them for their mother's death like he thought he would. Belphie was drowning in self-hatred because it was his fault. He believed this with every fiber of his being. He couldn't even look at his children, especially Lilith, who he saw both MC and his sister within her whenever their eyes met.

Eventually, he got his shit together, at least somewhat. He always needed help though so Lilith and Judas were raise by both their father and their Uncle Beel. Belphie was pretty laid back as a father so between him and Beel, the kids had the freedom to do just about anything. However, they grew to be a bit bratty. Good hearted, but bratty. Any time anyone other than he or Beel tried to discipline them or said anything awful to his kids, Belphie was ready to murder a bitch and slowly at that; it was a lot easier to set this man off now as a parent. Luckily, Beel was always able to drag him away and calm him down.

Those around them were always put on edge by the Avatar of Sloth's presence because of this; even the other brothers weren't sure how to interact with him somedays. Still, his kids were safe and between himself and Beel, they never went without anything. They grew up loved and protected... just like MC wanted.

He sometimes got into these depressive moods when he thought of her and couldn't leave his bed. At first, Beel would try to occupy the kids elsewhere so he could have his space and the twins didn't have to see their daddy like that. One day though, when they were five, they snuck away and into the attic room that he hid in. Wordless, the two just climbed into bed with him and he held them close to his chest.

As much as he missed MC... he loved his kids and moments like that reminded him just how important they are to him. There was once a time where he told himself that if he had to choose between MC and their kids, he wouldn't hesitate to choose her; he simply couldn't imagine how he could care about anyone as strongly as he does her. Now that they're here though, he doesn't have to imagine it; it's his reality and though he missed MC with every fiber of his being, he wouldn't trade his children for anything in the three realms.
