#but alas. and. ok it's a rare thing but not That rare and the fact that it's never talked about despite being relevant to both

[theophagie-remade]

I can't believe I can't find any information on how to do this thing that not many people need to do. smh

[randomalistic]

Ok oh my god. OH MY GOD. I just saw treasure planet for the first time and It was fucking amazing. Like yeah Duh I KNOWWW i know it’s like. “underrated Disney movie bla bla it was a commercial failure” . You know the deal.

But if there is 1 thing I want to say:

I cannot emphasize enough how meaningful and touching it is to the audience when you allow your male main characters to cry, and hug, and be emotionally vulnerable without shame. That brought this film to a whole new level 🥺

its a beautiful movie that took so many creative risks and that’s so admirable. It’s so clear they had a vision and they crafted that vision with endless amounts of love :’] I DID CRY.

More rambling below

I was CONSISTENTLY delighted by how creative the characters were and incredibly entertained throughout. So fucking fun and engaging and it feels like a 2 hour movie so much happens. How is it only 1.5 hours.

I CRIED !!!!!!!!!! John Silver and Jim’s relationship was so COMPLEX like actually amazing. The father figure dynamic is so sweet and heartwarming and so heartbreaking simultaneously like I was not expecting that AMV montage in the middle like that shit cut me so deep it was outstanding. A montage about Jim’s troubled childhood with a neglectful absent father and then DIRECTLY PARALLELING THAT WITH HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH SILVER. LIKE HES FINALLY OVERCOMING THOSE FEELINGS AND LIVING HIS LIFE. GODDAMN!!! THATS SO POWERFUL!! THATS SO INCREDIBLE!!! THATS JUST IN THE MOVIE!!!!??!

Also the character/creature designs are RELENTLESS in how good they are. And they have so much fun with it. It’s so silly.

They had an old snapping turtle pirate???? hello?? He was introduced and then he died ❤️

The animation is also MIND BLOWINF like OH MY GOD!??? the seamless integration of 2D and 3D interacting is so impressive especially for 2001 like this was a technological feat for sure . Only rarely does the CG look dated (those whales at the start <\3 poor guys) BUT JOHN SILVER’S CYBORG ARM WAS FUCKING AMAZING LIKE I COUKD STARE AT THAT THING FOR HOURS .

Can’t find a gif of it but during his introduction there was a ROTATING SHOT of him cooking (❤️) while using his arm and his arm has so many tools inside it like a cyborg Swiss Army knife it’s the coolest fucking thing ever. Just Amazing

Also the fact they introduced an entirely new character 53 minutes in when the main cast has already been established was such a risk, but it so paid off. I love B.E.N. The fact he’s fully 3D animated and he’s THAT expressive. WHILE BEING A ROBOT? adorable. He’s Adorable. He’s so mentally ill and strange.

What is wrong with him. He is. dare I say. spamtonlike. pathetic and unhinged. Houses forbidden knowledge. What a Pitiful creature 🧡his glowing CRT eyes are really cute. There was a moment when the lights went out it was only his eyes and I Liked That

I love weird little robot guys in early-late 2000s movies. I need to watch Bluesky robots. I need my fix.

Morph could’ve been a really obnoxious comedic relief animal sidekick but they somehow managed to make him really cute and likable. (Also They only used him for plot points A LITTLE. Turning into anything couldve been overpowered as fuck. But alas… he is a mindless animal...) We love Morph. His relationship with silver is so fucking cute.

Kind of a Delbert centrist honestly. I liked him but also kinda dislike him. Bro kinda gives self centered misogynist scientist vibes. But he’s also silly and self conscious though guyssss.!! I thought I would like him more than I did. BUT He’s animated SO wonderfully though I love the shape of his hands and his weird goat face. Solid 7/10 weird guy. Idk why he came with Jim on the ship though❤️

Captain Amelia was fucking awesome for the first half of the movie. One of the best characters. Yeah. ……………. They fumbled her so hard. MAYBE ITS JUST ME BUT ME AND MY FRIEND WERE NOT A FAN OF HER AND DELBERT AT ALL. Disney was like. We have a competent woman character ! Competent woman has to get injured and then the incompetent man has to take care of her and then they HAVE to fall in love. It’s actually so tragic like they did NOT deserve her.

IN FACT HERE’S MY SCORCHING HOT TAKE: Delbert should’ve been the one to get injured and Amelia nurses him back to health. Delbert might apologize profusely because of his self confidence issues and cuz he internalizes things that go wrong as his fault. Amelia reassures him, realizing that she was too harsh on him earlier. Delbert becomes less intimidated by her because she opens up to him and they grow to trust one another. Amelia stays with him while Jim goes to hide. And whapow !!!! Same relationship is built up without disempowering a female character. It doesn’t even have to be romantic they can just be friends……. 🫶 cuz it comes off as weird because since the start Delbert was like “wtf the captain is a GIRL?? Wait ooh la laaa she’s pretty” and she had 0 interest in him. so like the ONLY way they could pair them together was to get her injured and have him care for her . And she falls in love with him out of nowhere. No. Being cared for does not mean you’ll fall in love with your caretaker. She’s so ace coded to me and my friend. Until SUDDENLY. Am I crazy

Ok so like yeah the forced heterosexual love interest moment. I did not want to see their FOUR (4) hybrid babies at the end. I’m losing my mind. also did Jim become a cop? I swear to fucking god LOL

The movie was SO good that disney didn’t know how to wrap it up without ruining it ❤️ WHICH IS VERY INTERESTING I think they had to compensate for all the risks they took with a safe and weird ending where the police like him now and the police are ok guys. Disney approved

Anyways watch/rewatch the movie right now. Skip the final minute <3

One of my new favorite movies goddamn!

Edit: I would’ve forgiven them if Delbert got pregnant instead

Rambling about wolnpc....

One of the reasons why I'm so deep into multishipping hell with my wol is that I love genuinely love exploring dynamics with different npcs. FFXIV throws so many awesome npcs at me, how can I just stick with one or two?

Ok, there's also the fact that she fell in love twice and the first time her lover died and the second time, the guy was already dead BUT...

As far as canon goes Layla had a whirlwind romance with Haurchefant. They fell in love fast and the romance ended just as fast at the Vault. It was a very cliched romance, Haurchefant swept Layla off her feet. Often literally. He was very affectionate with her and often times Layla was a bit shy, especially when they are in public. But she loved him just as much.

Her love for Ardbert was doomed due to the fact that he was already dead and not from the Source. Ardbert fell in love with Layla during Shadowbringers too but denied his feelings for her until the very end.

Layla felt like Ardbert was truly her soulmate and often wonders if she would feel similar about the other Azem shards. By then, Layla overcame her timidly and often persued Ardbert romantically and Ardbert was often unsure how to react to her advances - all the while he slowly fell for her. Also I constantly think of newlywed AUs for them lmfao

Layla and Leofard are friends with benefits but on a non-sexual level, they enjoy each other's company a lot. Leofard understands that Layla comes from a very different background and starts to banter with her accordingly. I call their dynamics charming rogue x graceful, courtly fighter.

Layla may act as if Leofard's teasing bothered her a little but deep down she appreciates him as a dear, dear companion. Someone who understands that the world is vast and that there is still so much for them to discover...

When it comes to non-canon ships, I'm afraid this is where my brainrot truly shines. I ship my wol with so many npcs, I sometimes even forget which minor msq/general npc I ship my wol with. It do be like that. Though these days I often think of job/role quest npcs.

As someone who ADORES job quest npcs, I was extremely sad that the stopped doing them in Shadowbringers.

Some of my favorites include:

Gransonwol. They're both tanks and they both lost a loved one. In my mind, Layla and Granson lick each other's wounds and get closer in the progress. Their personalities don't clash at all and they go well together.

But Granson is from the First and Layla is from the Source. Not only are they griefing but it is hard to deal with physical distance. This often leads to conflicts between them. Will they be able to overcome this? Who knows...

Oborowol. The first thing I think when I think of Layla and Oboro was how when she became a ninja, Oboro asked her to teach him about the culture of Eorzea. But Layla is not a native of Eorzea either! I think this may have lead to funny moments to them, Layla loves helping people, so she often answered all the question.

The second thing is:

Oboro's Zadnor field note gave me a lot inspiration. Layla may be experienced in all things romance but she can get pretty bashful and lets her partner lead. Oboro however is not really experienced, so she waits a long time for him to make a move on her. So, here's a rare case of Layla often taking charge in the relationship. Oboro is often thankful but eventually overcomes his own shyness, methinks.

Widargeltwol. Probably the ship that is connected to Layla's lore the most, even more than her canonical ships. Layla is half Ala Mhigan and her Ala Mhigan mother is one of the last surviving monks. This had a huge impact on Layla growing up. Growing up her mother strictly trained her to become a monk but Layla could not open a chakra despite her apititude for fighting and her strong body.

It wasn't until she met Widargelt during the first monk job quest that she opened her first chakra. Widargelt realized her potential and made plans to use her for his revenge against the Garleans (as shown during the ARR MNK job quests). I love this because during A Realm Reborn, Layla felt connected to the Ala Mhigans and started to see herself as an Ala Mhigan more and more.

So, queue in the angst when during the level 50 quest, Widargelt tried to kill her. Layla quickly became fond of Widargelt, so her heart broke after this but during the Heavensward quests they've mended their relationship fast. Even in the canonical timeline in which they don't end up together, Layla sees Widargelt as one of the most precious person she has met during her journey.

It is worth noting that Layla has kept her mother's identity hidden but after the events of the last ARR MNK quests, Layla confessed to Widargelt and Erik that her mother was a monk as well. They were the first people, Layla has told about her mother.

I think out of all my ships, this one is the one I'd label a slowburn. They saw each other as siblings in monkhood first but I also think that their romance is also a very smooth one once they realize their feelings. No need for big words, both know very well that the other has nothing but love in their heart. But first steps are hard...

[toadstool32]

its the sextuplets birthday! in celebration im ranking them based on personal preference <3

karamatsu < i like him

osomatsu < i like shitty older brothers when theyre not my own

jyuushimatsu < i dont even think he knows how baseball works

todomatsu < hes such a bitch i love him

ichimatsu < cat

choromatsu < at his best when insane

the nature making numbered list make it so that they all have a rank but if anything it would be like > 1 karamatsu >2 osomatsu / jyuushimatsu >4 todomatsu / ichimatsu > 6 choromatsu

now im gonna proceed to rank them as combinations <- insane behavior

i got the names from this list!

im mostly ranking them by how funny they are but comedy is subjective feel free to send me anon hate ovr this i dont care

doing this in a five star format! ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

choukeimatsu: starting out strong! i love shitty older brothers! they suck <3 five stars ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

sokudomatsu: its ok, i like they more when they act out as other characters than themselves, they either do a funny skit or their manzai act, this one is a toss up for me! ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ➖➖

parkamatsu: their shittyness and cuteness level gets balanced so evenly... its precious to see truly..... however!!! its cute to see oso treat ichi like a cat / a future ward of the state but alas its not tickling my funny bone as much ⭐ ⭐ ➖➖➖

bakamatsu: i like stupid idiots, i want more of them ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ➖

benimatsu: oso n todo are such shitheads fr, they enable eachother to be the worst version of themselves, which is both cute AND fun ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

suirikumatsu: i read this one comic where they both get bullied by everyone else and then get revenge at the beach, (ill find and reblog later) other than that i dont think they really have that many skits together? booo. its rough out there ➖➖➖➖➖

iromatsu: its mid, it makes me cringe more than laugh, well, thats a lie sometimes i do laugh, its a toss up really, (i do like the bazooka scene tho) ⭐⭐⭐➖ I

musclematsu: while iromatsu its ichi using kara as a chew toy karamatsu is like, a chew toy with spikes, and fire and hurtful things, so ichimatsu receives psychic damage by that. Yeah that does not happen with jyuushimatsu this is like a uno reverse, these two are made or way harder stuff, and way dumber too, five stars ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

woodmatsu: theyre sweet :3 its a good balance between karamatsu being a chewtoy and todomatsu being the tsukkomi fishing with love letters and falling in love with the same cashier? pretty solid gags ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ➖

middlematsu: funniest gag they ever did was the fact that they never talk to eachother, nobody has a good time here, four stars only bc its a rare one ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ➖

wakabamatsu: are u fucking kidding me ok this one is interesting bc when jyuushi is the boke i feel like the skits run way to long, i still laugh but whatever not the point. but when they make jyushimatsu choros tsukkomi??? insane behavior honestly. ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ➖ ➖

cybermatsu: funniest shit ever, choromatsu shines with todomatsu as his pair truly, funniest shit ive ever seen ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

numbermatsu: top tier! what do i ever have to say here they just work ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

110matsu: catty bitches, ichimatsu gets to be weird in new ways here such is the curse of being a good straight man! hang in there todomatsu!! ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ➖

youngestmatsu: they r so fucking cute, cant remeber any skits with them tho, oh well ⭐ ⭐ ➖➖

RAPID FIRE, WHAT WOULD DO RIDDLE, KALIM, EPEL, AND IDIA IN THE BEN 10 AU THINK OF XLR8, FOUR ARMS, SWAMPFIRE, ECHO ECHO, WILDVINE, GOOP, HEAT BLAST, DIAMOND HEAD, BIG CHILL, UPGRADE, GHOSTFREAK, And last but not least WILDMUTT? That’s my question :)

O-Ob coming right up

Here we have the ask with their faves, since the faves are also on the list you gave me :3

Riddle

He likes the fact that XLR8 is extremely fast, he even picked up a talent at rollerskating because of it. :3

Four arms is a sort of close favorite, mostly because of the strength to just punt anything into the sun. He won't outright say it, but if it wasn't for swampfire, 4 arms would be Riddle's favorite full transformation.

Swampfire is his favorite full transformation. I believe it is pretty self explanatory. :'3

He doesn't really like echo echo that much, but alas, he finds it OK to be able to have duplicates. It's like working in a perfectly coordonated team, which is a breath of fresh air from the *ahem* a certain duo.

Wildvine is Riddle's favorite half transformation alongside Heat-blast. Again, for pretty self explanatory reasons. When in half transformation, roses grow out of his left eye, which Riddle didn't know why. Later on, after an eye test, he found out that his left eye has a slightly bigger number and couldn't see as well in distance than with his right eye, who was perfectly fine. It wasn't something that outright needed glasses or lenses, but it is something that Riddle only found out because of his half Wildvine transformation.

Goop is more of Riddle just relaxing a bit. A few times when in this form, he could be seen resting as a smol lil puddle. Ace once caught him in a jar, which resulted with a heavy collar and a lecture. :'3

Heat-blast, again, is a favorite half transformation. This is also one of those half transformations that Adeuce and Jack find absolutely badass looking, which only ranks it higher as a favorite. :D

Diamond head is probably one of the reasons Riddle picked up ingineering design. At how he summons those crystals, he had to study how to make quick and sturdy structures, not just raise a wall and hope to work. :'3

Big chill is a pretty wierd experience, because when in half form, he doesn't look intimidating at all(Ace's words, not his) but it's a very versatile alien. Sometimes, if he still has a few minutes after a fight/training and Ace, Deuce or jack would need some cooling, they would huddle around Riddle since he was basically free fridge. :'3

Upgrade is the reason Riddle picked up mechanics. Although upgrade relies on imagination too, Riddle had very poor imagination and as such, the next best thing was either to ask Adeuce or Jack or just study about machines in general. :'3

Ghostfreak is more of a salty transformation, but also one Riddle loves to use to spook Adeuce. These 2's reactions are always priceless. :'3

Wildmutt. His first and the one Riddle feels like he should use more often, but his pride won't let him go batshit crazy and rip to shreds an enemy.

Kalim

Uses XLR8 when he wants to steal an extra cookie after Jamil said enough for the day. :'3

Four arms is seen by Kalim as a top tier hugger. Jamil doesn't believe it that much but meh :'3

Swamp fire is one of Jamil's personal favorites, but Kalim finds it meh (no hard feelings, pls :'3) it's a combo of Wildvine and Heat-blast in Kalim's eyes.

Echo echo! One of the favorite full transformations! :D

Wildvine is definitely on the meh tier, mostly since Kalim does not really know how to use the plants in other ways than to crack a whip on the enemy's back. :'3

Goop! the precious Goop is one of his absolute faves :D

Heat-blast is Kalim's first transformation and holds a special place in his heart as both first time and also special bug extermination method Jamil approves of.

Diamond-head is Kalim's favorite half transformation for 1 motive: shiny :3

Big Chill is a form Kalim rarely embraces because it has those scary vibes. Same thing applies to Ghostfreak as well.

Upgrade is fun, but breaking the freezer is not :'3

Wildmutt is the only time Kalim truly acts like he's absolutely free. Jamil just thinks it's ironic how Kalim acts like a gigantic golden retriever :'3

Epel

XLR8, Four arms and Wildmutt are his favorite and he would fight you on it :'3

Swampfire is more neutral to Epel. He just doesn't see the appeal. But he considers it a far better mix of Heatblast and Wildvine.

Epel doesn't really enjoy that echo echo is smol.

Wildvine, much like Heat-blast are cool, but Epel would say that Swapfire is just a mix of the 2.

Goop is fun, Goop can stain Vil's curtains, Goop is great!

Epel appreciates that Diamond head is stronk and 'ripped', even more cool when he learns to control the said

Big chill is such a cool transformation in Epel's eyes. He isn't a big fan of the more eerie intimidating, but he thinks it's pretty awesome how the temperature drops around him or how his wings can turn into a cloak/poncho

Upgrade! The reason why Vil doesn't let Epel drive. EVER.

And Wildmutt! The absolute favourite! Vil would probably appreciate it if Epel won't chew his carpets :'3

Idia

He uses XLR8 for deliveries pickups or faster fights. Thankfully, Idia seems to be a naturally born roller skater, talent which he never knew he had. Ortho really wants to go rollerskating, but that still needs some time of convincing :'3

Four arms falls in the same category as Diamond head in the 'big stronk hunks', what sets the 2 apart is that 4 arms is even more stronger, while Diamond head has Idia always inventing new ways to use those cristals.

Swamp fire falls in the same category with Wildvine, where Idia sometimes forget that he can regenerate his cut plant limbs. Sometimes he still freaks out about it. :'3

Ortho adores echo echo, so Idia sometimes indulges for his brother to pat him on the head when in that transformation. :3

Goop is the first transformation Idia experienced and he sometimes uses it to hide around or manage machines from inside.

Heat-blast is great for Idia. It feels right with his motifs, but he has poor control over the flame expansion once he ignites something. He is still working on it. :'3

Now, Big chill is a favorite and as such Idia often uses this transformation, mainly because of the cold atmosphere it creates, as such he usually hugs Ortho like this when his circuits might overheat. That or use ghostfreak post book 6. :3

Upgrade is another favorite, because Idia just has a long experience with machines and experiments on it. That's why it's a favorite.

Wildmutt is more or so a fun one for Idia, especially when he can't properly see people, but just sense their presence. If he doesn't see them, he feels better and as such has a better performance. But sight is also something Idia does rely on a lot so when Wildmutt is out, Ortho does have to guide him with a few things.

Man... It took a bit :'3

Sonic the Comic Liveblog: Issue 3

This issue’s cover depicts a truly rare sight: Sonic swimming. Not jumping infinitely underwater, not the life-jacket assisted ‘underwater running’ he does in the Olympic Games, but actually swimming

The intro page also shows Sonic and Tails posing next to Chris Evans. No, not Captain America Chris Evans, but rather the UK tv presenter and radio host. Fun fact, he used to be married to Billie Piper, of Doctor Who fame

As this issue’s Sonic story starts, can I just take a moment to say how much I love Marble Zone from an aesthetic standpoint? I would love for a modern reimagining of this stage at some point.

Here we have a rare example of headphones that actually make sense for Sonic’s ears. But also… Sally Acorn huh? Unless the name originated from something else, but that has to be a SatAM reference right? To clarify, this is very clearly not the same character, but the identical names are definitely curious

And then this seems to suggest that Sonic’s shoes can somehow store energy? Possibly just referencing the speed shoes/power sneakers item from the game.

In the panel after this Sonic ends up in a Special Stage which is what you’d expect from jumping in a big ring in the classic games. So was Sonic expecting to be teleported somewhere else? Are rings used as a transportation method in this universe? Little bit of Movie universe vibes from that.

Kitty!

Well, that was a story. Once again nothing much to it. Also I can’t tell for certain because there doesn’t seem to be any credits for this story, I think there’s a different artist this issue? I don’t really like this art style as much; although the backgrounds are nice, Sonic just kinda looks a bit glassy-eyed and stiff in every panel.

Meanwhile in the Shinboi comic for this issue, we have some very nice artwork, lovely colouring. I’m curious what the Japanese text says, but alas, google translate wasn’t helpful.

Ok, that's pretty cool

The Golden Axe comic has a lot of crazy shit going on, but if I have to show off one thing, let it be this lady who decided to stand atop of not one, but two dragons

[just-some-random-blogger]

hello, modern!daemon nonnie's part 2 again (I'M SORRY) HFLDHNH i knew you'd written it unknowingly but outwitted?? i'm flattered. i'm just used to notice things like this. and i didn't mean that her office is literally shitty! when i was writing it i was like 'stop?? it's a museum it's not shitty.. but i don't know how to describe it in english?? ok. shitty' i meant more like the contrast? this meaningful, intimate, magical moment in JUST a PLAIN office? lovely. by 'waiting wife' i meant like more of the person who won't be able to feel the same for him? like darling you're a pretty boy but we have a dragon in tears who waits to be tamed ;) andand the spoiler? it's not that big of a spoiler, tbh? you've mentioned in the 'Never Before' that reader had met aemond as a child. but i love getting spoilers! really. i either forget them or they just don't affect my impression. and i love learning things about the process of the writing like you've mentioned about iron ring! it's always so interesting to know more about whatever you see in the end. i love crying over fanfics too! so yes, go on pls 'they really just want to be with each other so so so bad.' lovei, i hope it doesn't mean anything bad... i need to cry out of happiness too, you know.... so if you approve...

by 'waiting wife' i meant like more of the person who won't be able to feel the same for him? like darling you're a pretty boy but we have a dragon in tears who waits to be tamed ;)

i seeeeee HAHHAHHA THIS IS SO FUNNY SAUR TRUE MY BABIES SO CUTE BUT SHE BEEN WAITING TWO THOUSAND YEARS FOR HIM GIRRRRRLLLLLL T_T also lol it actually not 2000 years probably 1800?? give or take but its so much easier to say 2000 so imma just keep saying that

andand the spoiler? it's not that big of a spoiler, tbh? you've mentioned in the 'Never Before' that reader had met aemond as a child. but i love getting spoilers! really. i either forget them or they just don't affect my impression.

HAHHAHH SO TRUE YOU CAUGHT ME IM GIGGLING SO HARD I WAS TYPING THE SPOILER OUT then i thought, i already mentioned they met so this isnt too world changing HAHAAHH YOURE TOO BIG BRAINED I CANT AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH I love/hate spoilers, sometimes i dont care, but other times i would rather not know because i want to enjoy the plot/plot twist in the moment when it happens

and i love learning things about the process of the writing like you've mentioned about iron ring! it's always so interesting to know more about whatever you see in the end.

T_T THATS SO SWEET AND NICE AND TOUCHING I ALSO LIKE LEARNING ABOUT THE PROCESS OF HOW SOMETHING CAME ABOUT WE BOTH TRULY SUCH INTELLECUTALS UGH! I WANT TO KEEP YOU IN MY POCKET

i love crying over fanfics too! so yes, go on pls 'they really just want to be with each other so so so bad.' lovei, i hope it doesn't mean anything bad... i need to cry out of happiness too, you know.... so if you approve... (coming alive to destroy the world) hope you'll like it)

I LOVE CRYING OVER FICS!! lets cry together sLAY!!! actually my teacher said crying once/twice a week is healthy for your eyes 😴 it flushes out the dirt but the only thing i hate about crying is when i cry i CRY i cant just like ~cry i CRYYYYYYY then my eyes get super puffy the next day (putting a cold spoon on your eyes help but please i cannot be bothered to go through that) it doesnt mean anything bad. like i say its better than aCTUALLY DOING SOMETHING BAD LIKE A CRIME OR DRUGS OR SMTH so shhh let's just enjoy our evil meow meow and YES COME ALIVE TO DESTROY THE WORLD WITH ME

i'm glad you didn't cut the story!! it feels so whole and complete. you've made a really good job! i'm still veryvery proud of you!

same im glad i didn't too!!! it does feel so much better like this because thats how i intended and saw that fic to be in the first place. I TAKE ALL YOUR COMPLIMENTS LIKE CHOCOLATE THANK YOU MY LOVE I LOVE HEAD PATS AND HUGS AND WORDS OF AFFIRMATION IM LUV U SO MUCH

i know about fanfiction but one shot? drabble? i don't know what is what so i'm like um-ah fic?

aHHH OK fanfiction is like the general umbrella term!!! its basically any work of fiction made for an existing story. one shot is for a fic thats only meant to be one chapter, thus one shot. it's not meant to be continued (which is why as a prominently one shot writer, i am very apprehensive for part twos) a drabble is basically a short fic, normally i think around 100-500 words??? a drabble can be a one shot, if its short enough. ashflashfsa i hope that made sense and that im right with my explanations. i highly suggest searching in case you wanna quote me T_T and i might be wrong lol

Heeeeeyyyy I’m still alive! Don’t worry, I’m still playing Xenoblade Chronicles 3 as well!

In fact, I finished chapter 6 almost a week ago.

The reason why it takes me so long to finish chapters is because I am enjoying all the side quests. The side quests are just so much fun. The stories are all so engaging and I rarely find myself button mashing the dialogue.

And my favourite aspect in ascension quests is when Kevesi heroes get to meet Agnian heroes, their interactions are very interesting!

To be honest, after I finish the game, I plan to write my thoughts on each hero in xenoblade chronicles 3. But we’ll see…

Now, I’ll be diving into spoiler territory! Keep in mind, it took me a long time to complete this so I may have forgotten some things!

SPOILERS FOR CHAPTER 6 AND IT’S ENDING

Not gonna lie, starting off the chapter with Noah in the middle of nowhere with muffled noises is a great way to pull you into his psyche. But man, I was not expecting to get N’s backstory through Noah (I know, I’m dumb).

Unfortunately, I was spoiled over M and N having a baby through a YouTube video’s thumbnail and title that got recommended me while I was watching a thirst edit of one of my favourite anime villains so it wasn’t surprising to me.

What was surprising, however, WAS THAT THOSE TWO USED TO BE LOST NUMBERS??

Man, seeing N try again and again to save M from death was sad. Not to mention that scene with N telling his child that he has to go soon, hinting towards his homecoming.

The idea that he chose to become Moebius because he wanted this “endless” really made me feel for him. Unfortunately, not too much. Because the guy was way too obsessed.

I love that shot of him standing between two paths though…

___________

Ok, now for the plot twist with Mio switching with M. On one hand, I feel cheated. It made me feel like all that build-up was worthless if it was going to be resolved almost immediately. On the other, I do quite like the way they brought her back. It ties in to the fact that M never wanted this. M was happy with N before Moebius. She was suffering so much but she chose to be quiet. N couldn’t see that. It just makes it more sadder because back in that cell, she said “my Noah”. That line was sweet but felt off to me back then cause I didn’t think Noah and Mio’s relationship got to THAT point. Well now it makes sense, it was M…

Rest in Peace M :(

N’s rage was brilliantly done. I love how obsessed and desperate he sounded the moment he realised what happened. But alas, I guess he was too blinded by rage to see why M betrayed him.

Noah finally having the courage to use Lucky Seven was amazing, the blade looks so cool.

___________

Aight I’m just going to say it. WHO IS RIKU??? (Don’t spoil thanks)

I remember reading some comments saying that the nopon in the previous games were annoying rather than cute. I found that hard to believe because I ADORE the nopons in this game. They’re so adorable, especially Riku and Manana <3

It’s very interesting how Riku is this type of “mentor-figure” to Noah. Hope to see more but only one chapter remaining…

___________

Now for the Queen of Agnus scene…

The location where she sleeps looks so beautiful and the theme was heavenly. It really makes you feel the weight of how far you’ve come and what you’re about to do.

And the scene when she finally wakes up… I’ll be honest, I never played xenoblade chronicles 2, just watched clips. But I LOVED Nia there, so seeing her here did make me smile. And the music that played while she was waking up, it sounded familiar to I decided to check. The Drifting Soul motif was brilliant.

AND THEN SHE GOT SHOT AND I WAS PISSED (she lived tho and we got to hear got to hear her be pissed over it till she realised ppl were watching her lol)

___________

I’ll be honest, I was getting kind of annoyed with Joran’s “IM BETTER THAN ALL OF YOU NOW” attitude. He felt like an edgy kid to me despite his first reveal in Colony Lambda being pretty shocking.

But now, that’s all changed. The idea that once you become Moebius, you see all your past lives, must’ve been awful for him. Seeing that he was “useless” in his previous lives as well, makes his change in demeanour more sensible to me now.

Regardless, his friends never gave up on him. They really did know the real Joran. And he finally acknowledged that. I was genuinely proud of him over his decision despite it resulting in his death.

___________

The emotional weight didn’t completely reach me till this scene. In a way, both Joran and Lanz got the closure they needed. I was happy that Joran’s final thoughts before his death was him with Noah, Lanz, and Eunie. All of them together, in their younger years. Not only does his death really make me feel that it’s the end of that era where children were met with expectations to win wars, but also how far those three have come.

It was like Joran saying goodbye to them, to the trio he once knew. They didn’t surpass him, I don’t think that’s the point. They simply changed. And his “maybe next time…” makes me feels like he is ready to as well. That’s just how I like to interpret it.

Overall, his redemption was amazing and was the highlight for this chapter to me.

___________

That’s the end folks! I’ll see y’all in like….I don’t know….another month? I really am playing the game, almost every day actually! I’m just more keen on trying to find EVERY quest.

I do plan on finishing the game before Sonic Frontiers releases. So, definitely going to finish this game by the end of the month or early November.

I plan to write a full review of the game after I finish the main story. It’s been a while since my last proper review (which was omniscient reader).

I hope this was a fun read, feel free to share your thoughts too! I love discussing the game with you guys.

Stay safe!

I didn't feel like writing today - but here goes

I didn't feel like writing today - like there was this distinctly discernible sense of resistance and childish petulance - something inside was afraid of turning up at writing something.

Ahh or maybe it was just the opposite - I was going through my journal where there was a lot of stuff - stuff that I'd written some time in the last month and a half or so.

One of the entries said something along the lines of "I don't have to go looking for ideas - my life stories are enough" - well something to that end.

I read that instantly started feeling some sort of panic - like "fuck I'm meant to have an endless reservoir of ideas to draw from; I'm MEANT TO! It's me that's fucking saying it - of course i'm MEANT TO! "

there was this palpable pressure to do this thing and do it well and i guess it manifests with such negative connotations that it feels like a signal not to do that thing.

I am pretty sure I can't be the only one that goes through this kind of a loop.

There's also this feeling of inadequacy from reading other people on the internet - especially ones that do stream of consciousness style writing. Like "fuck me - this is so good - how am I ever going to compare" .

That voice is very quickly replaced with another voice that says "dude you're just as good - remember that piece you wrote when you were 20? it was so good - if only you had stuck with it and continued to read and write all these years- But alas, you never did! and now here you are - a rotting 30 year old who might as well not live"

Wow - rough eh? Well, that's how it is inside me sometimes. Today is one of those days - I'm not going to lie. I woke up fucking late - like well past afternoon and my day never really got going.

This has been THE antagonist of my life so far - I'm seeing it very clearly now - why is basic regulation so difficult for me to achieve? how are other people able to do such a seemingly effortless job of achieving this?

On days like these, getting myself into the shower feels impsossible sometimes. Having said that, I sound fucking spoiled to myself and I probably will step into the shower shortly.

I feel some distaste for the kind of writing I'm doing. Writing for the sake of writing.

Believe it or not, I'm capable of producing pieces of beauty and insight - rarely if not frequently. But I am. And what I'm doing now is literally doing the bare minimum that I can do to fulfil the conditions of the challenge I set for myself last month - to write every day. 750 words if personal, 2 pages if handwritten and 500 words if i'm doing it for work - God that sounds like words that come out of bored clerks working in government offices!

What could I do to make a meal out of this challenge? To have it be more than just a perfunctory "ticking-off-the-list" activity?

Again and again and again, the answer seems to be - waking up in the middle of the day is problem!

OK maybe it is.

I have melatonin now.

Maybe I can use it to get my shit back in spec.

Apparently, unfiltered content is where it's at these days. Apparently readers want to feel like they're having a personal hang out session with the writer - I resonate with the idea somewhat - but I think it's failing to mention something.

I think what they're talking about is stuff that "simulates" the feeling of being unfiltered while still being super polished and aesthetically refined.

maybe these are truly higher-order beings comapred to me - in that even their unfiltered thoughts have a certain level of polish that muck-savages like me can't aspire to?

Or maybe they are possessed of a sense of dutifulness/industriousness/scrupulousness that won't let them hit the "post now" button without polishing things up at least a little bit?

Maybe they can never truly become unconscious of the fact that what they're writing is going to be read? Maybe I just really don't have that sense of goodwill that would make me want to write things that are just a little bit more digestible / palatable/ READABLE to the. ermm reader?

But here's the thing - however pointless this exercise seems , I don't think it's actually pointless. why you ask?

because i"m starting to feel better already.

I feel like my juices are flowing much better and I'm ready to attack my ---- night! It's close to fucking 9 PM. God the crisis is real!

I want to be diurnal again! If there are any angels floating about - please make it happen for me. I long to wake up at 6.00 and go to bed at 11.00. Please make it happen!

And on that note, I am going to leave and take a shower.

If anyone is reading this, I'm really sorry - I really hope you find more meaningful things to do in your life soon - I mean it sincerely! - go ahead and write a meandering and nonsensical post like this - it's therapeutic apparently. I can vouch for that to some extent - but i've only been doing it for a short while now.

What are your top 3 favorite things to have found out while working with water types? If you're anything like me there must be something you're DYING to talk about! (Pun intended)

- @underfundedpokeprof

Yes ok

In no particular order:

The patterns on Bruxish are fascinating! As with many Pokemon there are minute differences in patterns on them! But enough distinct types of patterns have emerged to have them considered somewhat distinct-almost subspecies- in some places of study (though much of it is unofficial so its more of a popular but not finalized pseudo classification) due to cases of different pattens having very different behavior.

The one the is seen most commonly in Pokedex is called the common pattern and is the sort of pattern we are used to. Another is the spotted patten which typically has smaller spots all over its body and has very little to none yellow "mask" and belly. A distinct,non shiny coloration difference that exists for it as well is called the pacific coloration and is more geared towards blending in with the ocean. It is all light blue with some little streaks of yellow that remind me of sunbeams. There's lots more- pretty much any different pattern can be more pastel or darker depending on genetics and environmental factors. I could talk more and go more in depth but alas,next fact.

Another rarely acknowledged fact I like a lot is that Finneon/Lumineon schools and Pyukumuku colonies often live together. Finneon are surprisingly effective at attracting prey and Pyukumuku are able to immobilize their prey. They make the perfect team and have quite the fun symbiotic relationship. Finneon also eats up any microorganisms that may be plaguing Pyukumuku. Even without those factors in captivity they really do chill quite well together.

I've given the ocean some love so have a freshwater fact! Studies show that Psyduck are becoming more competent with their psychic abilities. As a whole Psyduck,at least in Alola,are getting smarter. I don't think anyone thinks its enough to consider a type classification or anything though. If that was how type was determined Golduck would've been changed decades ago. So take that fact with whatever amount of fear or admiration you want. That being said one of the aquarium Psyduck Sir Bill Jr. stole my bag and made me look for it the other day.

[chanellaco]

feelings are complicated. 

by angel.

even though I am absolutely enamoured by one man, that fact does not change anything for me. most men suck

perhaps I’m being a ✨hypocrite ✨but..

am I the assho– jkjkjk if I hear that automated voice when I scroll down the inevitable rabbit hole that is the tiktok for you page, I will scream

ok anyways!

so this year, every one had one elective they could chose and since I absolutely love plants and would totally want to have my own garden someday (and perhaps if we don’t live in this capitalism system, I would become a florist but alas), I chose applied botany.

i met some incredible amazing people who make class and learning super fun. one of them was a guy named.. let’s name him c.

so I actually started talking to him outside of class since we had a mutual friend together and we had some common interests.

at first, I liked hanging out with him. we liked pretty much the same stuff so we didn’t run out of things to talk about. then.. one day, something changed.

I don't know why or when but I started having this feeling of uncomfortable-ness when I was around him. I think it started when he started saying “dirty” or “erotic” jokes to me and I just felt extremely uncomfortable. Then he started following me around everywhere even outside of class and he would tail behind me.

I should have said something, maybe established my boundaries earlier.

It felt weird to me because I usually have a dirty mind to, heck I read fanfic for god’s sake.

i also have a guy friend who’s super into like hentai and he would send me his favourite hentai and tell me the whole plot because he obviously pays attentions to the plot.

but I don’t feel uncomfortable around him, I feel the opposite. he’s really good friend of mine and I can talk to him for hours about any topic (whether we agree on it or not). I don’t have that feeling in my stomach that I need to go away.

I only get that very rarely and the first time I felt that in years was with c.

then. yesterday happened.

yesterday was a rainy day. there is a reason why guns and roses has a song called November Rain. it was a day like any other day this week.

my friends were huddled together but I went out on my own, looking for j. maybe just to look at him from afar or perhaps I finally had the courage to hang out with him but I went looking for him anyways.

then c saw me and we started to talk. it was normal, I still had this feeling in my gut to go away and be as far from him as humanely possible but I persevered and manage to do one conversation with him.

it was just some small talk, “how are you? how’s school? any recent exams? the conversation you have with people that are strictly your school acquaintances.

we walked to the front of our building’s entrance as it was almost the end of break time when suddenly there were two guys behind us.

they were his friends so naturally I smiled at them and greeted them hello.

all of a sudden they ask, “hey, isn’t that the girl you like?"

that thought immediately froze me. my first reaction was a face of disgust and I looked at c, extremely disgusted at what his friend said.

he also pulled the same look on his face and told his friends to screw off so thank you for that, c.

“I’m sorry, they’re weird.”

oh

oh

he didn’t deny it.

“yeah, they are. no offence, I have a boyfriend."

why did I lie about having a partner? ME? OUT OF ALL PEOPLE? SERIOUSLY?

why was that my first thought? why can’t I just put my boundaries down and let him know that I only thought of his as a friend?

“oh yeah, I’m aroace so don’t even worry about it."

the thing is, that’s why I felt so comfortable with him in the first place. because I was so sure we would have no feelings between us, ever. or that my brain wouldn’t misinterpret his actions as “romantic” because they will always be platonic. Sometimes, when I become friends with the opposite sex, my brain would always interpret their actions as “possibly romantic”.

There’s only a few people I genuinely really liked over the years because my brain has conditioned itself to think that.

“I know, I know. you can still like someone, you know? I mean not “like” but have some sort of special feelings for them. feelings that aren’t platonic but aren’t romantic either.”

Those were the last words I said to him before we went out separate ways.

Today, we had botany class together and he did not talk to me, he didn’t even looked at me either.

I feel extremely bad. I genuinely really liked being with him, well before I started getting the weird feeling in my stomach but still.

I still think most men suck but he’s one of the guys I think doesn’t suck. he’s a great guy, maybe I can cheer for him from afar because I don’t think I can be near him right now.

feelings are complicated, especially when you’re both young because you have no idea how this thing works.

Outside of the rogues, Toby rarely trusted people. 

Ok, Ernest was an outlier, but only because he was actually really nice and was supportive of Toby, in that hard, commander way (ie. zealous use of 'Maggot!' and shouting). Honestly, it was helping Toby's self confidence make leaps and bounds ever since he signed up with the Battleborn, even if it threw him off sometimes. 

But the commando bird was on a mission to Bliss, recapturing an old UPR base, and his own flock - group, he reminded himself, the Rogues were definitely not aviants, even if sometimes they felt closer than his own biological family - were on Fortune's Favour, not onboard Nova. With this kind of thing, they would be the first he'd go waddling to, but alas, there was only him and a scattering of others preseny. And while they were on varying scales of niceness (Bene-jerk notwithstanding), the thought of approaching them with this problem made him want to keel over and die instead. 

Hence, he opted to wandering around the hulls of the ship like a feathery spectre, checking for faults, because faults could lead to holes, and holes could lead to failures, and failures could lead to systems malfunctioning, and systems malfunctioning could lead to Nova spiralling out of control and crash-landing onto one of the few planets left in the system, resulting in the fiery death of everyone onboard…

Even anxiety can ruin the easiest of tasks. Toby cursed. There also seemed to be a correlation between his stress levels and swearing, if the string of worries and extremities leaving his beak were anything to go by.

In fact, he was concentrating so hard on calming himself down that he didn't notice that he had barged into someone's space until he heard polite coughing from above, then a voice said, "Uh...you ok there?" 

His beak clamped embarrassingly fast as he finally took in his surroundings. He must've stumbled into the water reservoir, judging by the water tank. The large room was windowless and dark, lit only by the blue glow of the tank in the lower half. Perched on top of a floating platform was one of the newer members of their motley crew, who was blinking down at him. It took another second of panicking to remember her name; Alani, the monk from Akopos. Outside of name and general calm nature, that's all he knew about her. After all, he's only responsible for checking the background of potential rogues, not the rest of the battleborn. That’s Ghalt’s job.

"It’s-it's nothing, miss Alani, sorry to disturb you, it won't happen again, sorry." He stuttered out, the word running together into one, conjugated disaster.

He was already backing out of the room before Alani replied, "It's ok! It's just a bit weird how you just walked in here. Without knocking." 

"Sorry again." 

"Wait! I mean," she sighed. "I meant like how preoccupied you were. Unless you normally barge it to people's rooms un-announced?" She unhelpfully added. 

Toby made a noise of embarrassment, “Yeah, I don’t normally don’t do that. I was, uh, busy thinking.”

“About?”

“Nothing really. Just me being my dumb self and worrying about nothing, so sorry to bother you again, miss Alani!”

Alani was silent for a moment, from contemplation or awkward shock (Toby's money was on the latter), then she said "Want to sit with me?"

He blinked. She patted the space next to her with emphasis, the movement setting the platform bobbing gently on the water's surface. Would it...be ok? He could always just say no...and end up disappointing her more than he already did right now. With that in mind, he took a deep, fortifying breath, and scurried up the ladder on the side of the tank. It was easy paddling across the short distance to the platform, with him sparing only a moment to voice a concern. 

"Uh, this is the ships water, right?"

"Yup." She confirmed. 

"...won't we end up drinking this?" 

"Yup.” She repeated. “Don't worry though, my nanobots- I mean, cleansing energy,  gets rid of pollutants. They work a lot better than any water filter." 

"But won't we be drinking them too?" 

"Yeah, they’re probably inside your body already."

Toby had nothing to say to that apart from a quick face of revulsion. He didn't say anything else however as he pulled himself to Alani's metal island and gingerly planted herself next to her. "Okay, I'm here. Now what miss?" 

"Meditate with me? Just copy what I do." And she closed her eyes, folding her hands pose-perfect onto her crossed legs. Aviant limbs weren't exactly great for crossing legs and twildling thumbs, so Toby let his flippers flop onto his outstretched legs, one on top of the other. 

"Like this?" He asked. She nodded, then her shoulders rose and fell in a controlled breath. Like a bad habit, Toby's mind leapt to the worst conclusion of even the ever patient monk losing patience, and he already prepared to leap from the platform and make a second attempt to an ungraceful exit. He was stopped by Alani’s sheepish smile. 

"Oops, sorry. I meant breathe slowly." She looked as sheepish as she could with one eye still closed. With a silent breath of relief, Toby inhaled and exhaled. Then repeated. And repeated. 

She stayed silent, letting the only sound be the echo of dripping water. Toby was aching to fill the quiet with something, anything, extending but not limited to the non-existent weather on the ship, but miss Alani didn’t look like she wanted to be disturbed, so he sucked it up and tried to meditate as she said. His thoughts, as always, started swirling again, like a shard storm that decided that it wasn't done wrecking havoc on a science dwarf's laboratory just yet. Before long, he was squirming in his spot, struggling to remain still like the monk next to him. He was frustrated too. Frustration at himself, at the meditation, even the tiniest bit at Alani for not seemingly solving his problem. That last one he shoved back down even if one small, dark bit really wanted to let it fester and grow. And that wherein was the problem - he was bad at recognising what was his fault and what was the fault of others, so it was easier to lump everything together and blame himself even for the smallest of things, because, in the end, it meant he could fix it, and he wouldn't be kicked out again for not fixing it. It meant that he was still wanted by those around him, because what was he without others needing him-?

That’s when he heard of the sound of water churning instead. "Please don't freak out." Was her only warning. The water rose above them in a dome, smoothing over and clearing like glass. Despite the way it enclosed over him, Toby felt anything but anxious. Rather, it seemed that the room, heck, even the entire ship, had faded away, leaving them in a small bubble of just him and Alani. Like every problem, every worry, was washed away, if for the moment, to be displayed for his perusal. 

"I thought it might help if you keep thinking of your worries being outside of the bubble.” Alani said. 

The words burst out of Toby’s mouth before he could stop them. “But they still get to me.”

“Yeah, and that sucks. Things get to me too.” Alani admitted. “But I think, hey, I got my bubble. They’re just...thoughts in here. Like butterflies, I guess. Man I miss butterflies.

“Ugh, I’m getting distracted. I got my bubble! You got a bubble too. I don’t think you can actually conjure one out of water, unless avians can and I just didn’t get the memo. But you got one. And when the worries come fluttering back, bring it up, mentally. You are here. You're here. You're going to be ok.”

And the weird thing was that Toby actually...started to believe her. He can’t will away the anxieties, otherwise this would be the perfect universe, but it’s a lot easier to look at them from this side of the bubble. Through the watery lens, he could imagine what would happen if his Berg malfunctioned in the middle of battle and not stop the shot that might take Whiskey's life. Or if a mine detonated at the wrong moment, catching Shayne and Aurox in the midst of their blood run. Not only failing the Rogues, but the entire Battleborn. They were terrible, horrible images, but with the blue tint on, his mind already picked out some solutions – increase the frequency of the maintenance rounds. Train with Shayne and Aurox more to get a feel for their behaviour on the field.

Trust them, instead of bottling it up and letting the hurricane carry him away. Of course, that's easier said than done.

"Miss Alani?" He ventured quietly. "Can I...come back whenever it gets bad?"

"Sure! Just knock first."

Yeah. He can do that. "Thanks. For helping a little."

Alani just smiled gently, and closed her eyes again. He followed suit and let himself be.

'I'm here, I'm here, I'm here.'

[spinster-sisters]

[10:02pm] k.ys

Tw: Mind numbing fluf, this was fun to write ngl, v cute, blushy yeosang, extroverted reader.

-

“So who else is gonna be there?” You ask with excitement.

“Well, San and us. Then Yunho, Mingi, and Jongho, I think Seonghwa and Hongjoong are busy though,” Wooyoung counts of on his fingers, “oh, and Yeosang obviously!” He finishes with a smile. You do your best not to show the disappointment on your face, but Wooyoung knew better.

“What’s wrong with Yeosang?” He asks with an arched brow.

“Nothings wrong with him! I just don’t think he likes me very much.” You admit, tuning your head to your feet as you keep walking.

In truth, you’ve had a crush on Yeosang from the first time you met him. But you can never quite forget how when you came up to him that night asking him for his number with a smile, he had just stared at you. It was so embarrassing. He didn’t even say no, he just looked at you with an expression so blank you honestly thought he hadn’t heard you at first. That was until he had gotten up and left you at the table without another word.

But alas, he was Wooyoung’s best friend, so avoiding him was hard, and ignoring him when he looked so pretty every time you see him is damn near impossible. You tried to be friendly with him, you really did. Pretending like the first night had never happened seemed to be the best way to go. But still to this day he rarely even looked at you, much less responded to you. You got maybe a word out of him at a time if you were lucky.

To your surprise, Wooyoung started laughing his characteristic high-pitched laugh. You frowned at him and continued walking.

“You this Yeosang hates you?” He choked out through his laugh.

“I didn’t say hate!” You began, although you kind of expected he did, “I just think he prefers it if I wasn’t around.”

Wooyoung looked at you again in amazement.

“Trust me, he doesn’t hate you.” He said, and although his laughter was dying down there was a hint of amusement in his voice.

“And what does that mean.” You ask, unable to see what was so funny.

“It’s not important,” he giggles.

-

Later that night you find yourself out to dinner with the rest of your friends who could make it. And of course, by some divine intervention (otherwise known as Wooyoung) you are stuck at the end of the table, with none other than Yeosang sitting to your right. Jongho was across from you, but you had a feeling he was on special orders from Woo to not talk to you because you were now sat in awkward silence.

You did your best not to pout at the others at the table as they chatted away, completely ignoring you, but even you could feel the scowls on your face. The whole situation was made even worse by the fact that Yeosang looked as perfect as always. He quietly ate his dinner without a care in the world and it annoyed you to no end how even when forced to sit next to you, he would rather stare into his plate than even look at you.

Once or twice during dinner, you saw him glacé at you from the corner of his eye, but nothing came of it at all. He was probably just wondering why you were being so quiet. If anything he was probably great full for it, as you had always suspected that was the reason he ignored you. Which didn’t make any sense in itself, Wooyoung was his best friend, how could talking be the thing that set him off. Though perhaps he got enough of that from him. Still, it wasn’t your fault. You frowned even deeper at the thought and continued to push your food around your plate, having long since lost your appetite. Only more annoyed when a certain pretty boy glanced at you again.

Walking home wasn’t much better either. Whatever game the others were playing by forcing you to get along with Yeosang was kept on as your little group made its way through the park. Everyone else surging ahead, leaving you both in the dust with at least a few feet to spare.

You were surprised when he kept pace with you, though it was dark, and you doubt the others would appreciate it if he left you behind and he knew that as well.

After a few minutes of distinct laughter coming from the group ahead of you, you expect even Yeosang was tired of the awkward silence. That is the only way you can reason as to why he spoke up.

“Are you feeling ok?” He asked in his quiet deep voice. He glanced at you, before turning away quickly. Though you should be excited that he is speaking with you, you only felt more upset.

“And what’s it to you?” You spat back with a scowl. At your words, Yeosang’s head whipped around to face you. It was too dark to see his exact features, but his wide eyes shown clearly in the dim light. He looked shocked. If you were in a better mood you would have apologized as he clearly looked shocked, but you didn’t. He turned away and looked twords the ground.

“Well, umm, you looked a little off at dinner tonight and you weren’t talking much so I-“ he trailed off, gaze rooted to the ground.

“Oh and I bet you enjoyed that,” you grumbled. You didn’t feel any real animosity towards the man. How could you? Especially with your harbored crush, but you still said the words. At this Yeosang stopped dead in his tracks, and you had to do the same. There was a street lamp only a few feet away so you could see him a little better now. The only expression on his face was confusion.

“Why would I enjoy that?” He asked, almost too quiet to hear, even with the voices of your friends fading as they got further away.

Now it was your turn to look confused. You shook your head a bit with a laugh before looking at Yeosang again.

“Because you don’t like me?” It came out as a question, and you quickly tried to qualify it, “listen, I know that we’re both in the same group of friends and everything but I don’t blame you for not wanting to talk to me, I know I can be a bit much sometimes and I-“ this time you cut yourself off because Yeosang’s face was twisting into something completely other than agreement. It was disappointment.

He waited for you to fall silent before looking down and kicking his shoe against the pavement with a sigh. He muttered something that sounds like “-idiot” and you briefly started to get angry with him again before he spoke up.

“I don’t hate you,” he mumbled. He looked up ever so briefly before his gaze flew back to his shoes. You could faintly see him biting his lower lip and if you didn’t know better you would almost think he was? Blushing?

“Then why-?” You trailed off, surely looking stupid with how flabbergasted you felt. It’s not like you expected him to tell you outright how much he disliked you, but this? It felt way too sincere.

“It’s because he likes you!” You heard Wooyoung shout from a safe distance away. You whipped around to face the rest of the group, only just now noticing that they had come to a stop to watch your exchange. Wooyoung had his hand up to his mouth to help his voice carry, not that he needed it. His word sunk in slowly.

You had half a mind to run and punch him for making fun of you, because there was absolutely no way that The Kang Yeosang could possibly like you, especially with how you talked his ear off for months on end when you were still trying to befriend him. You blushed bright red. You turned back to Yeosang, ready to tell him to ignore Wooyoung, but Yeosang was blushing as well. Far more than he had been before, possibly more than you. He was biting his lower lip again. Staring at you, waiting for your reaction.

And then the realization sunk in. The Kang Yeosang liked you as well. You whipped back to Wooyoung.

“Wooyoung you jackass!” You hollered, flinging your arm in the air for good measure. He had fingered out your crush on his friend a long while ago apparently. Then you turned to face Yeosnag again. You heard your friends laughing in the distance. He looked mortified.

“I-I’m sorry, you don’t have to say anything. I know I have been a-“

“Yeosang, please let me say something.” You cut him off. You said with a smile. He looked surprised, still deeply embarrassed, but surprised. And still incredibly pretty, but you put that thought aside for a moment.

“Yeosang, I like you.” You began, “in fact, I have since the day I met you, which is rather pathetic on my part but let’s ignore that for now.” You continued with a laugh.

The man stood frozen. The seconds passed. And then he cracked the tiniest hint of a smile.

“Oh,” he started, as if coming out of a trance, “well,” he paused again to look away before turning back, his pink cheeks shining in the light from the streetlamp, “would you like too-“ he trailed off.

“Yes, yes I would.”

(Since i said ‘regularly programmed scheduling’ here’s something i wrote a while ago but haven’t been able to finish because. idk. commitment issues?)

—

It’s little Harry’s time to go to school and dadfoot is not prepared.

—

It was a beautiful day. The sky was a bright blue, not a cloud in sight; the temperate just right. By all means, Sirius should be having a good time, a wonderful time even because even seeing the sun was a rare treat these days, let alone being able to bask in it.

But no. He wasn’t having a good time. Everything was horrible and he actually wished for grey skies and merciless downpour so that the outside matched his inner turmoil.

Dramatic? Perhaps. But he was allowed to be, dammit.

Because Harry, his little Prongslet, was supposed to start his first day of school today. Sirius wasn’t prepared for this! He knew this day was coming, sure, but he wasn’t ready to be separated.

(Ok, fine. It wasn’t Hogwarts. It was just primary school and he’d be back home in a few hours but it was still- Sirius had never been away from his baby for so long before—what was he supposed to do?)

He knew when he’d decided to raise Harry in the muggle world that this day - might - happen sometime, but he was also more focused on other things, like safety and legality and ensuring he’d read all the parenting books he needed to care of a child full time (he’d expected to be the fun uncle at most, but no way was he just giving up on Harry because of a measly reason like that). He hadn’t even thought about the fact that muggles send their kids to school much earlier than wixen did, that he wouldn’t be homeschooling Harry until he was eleven.

Instead, he had to send him to school when he was just five years old. Harry barely came up to Sirius’ hip still, he was entirely too small right now. But alas, Sirius had decided to live like in the muggle world, which meant complying with all their rules. And an of-age child still staying at home would raise questions he’d rather not have to deal with. After all, he couldn’t keep magiking his way out of uncomfortable situations all the time now could he?

“Siri!” A familiar high pitched voice squeal broke through his brooding, instantly brightening his mood.

“Prongslet,” Sirius echoed in response, James’ nickname for Harry falling off his lips naturally. He bent down to pick up the small ball of energy before he could be bowled over.

“Hi,” Wide, green eyes, lit up with joy and mischief looked up at him expectantly and per usual, Sirius was a goner.

“Hi baby,” he pressed a kiss to the messy black curls tickling his chin.

“Whatchu thinkin’ Siri?”

“Oh, th-nothing much, Harry,” Sirius tried to deflect but he knew he’d failed by the adorable furrow that appeared on Harry’s little brow. That was a thing he’d started doing recently- frowning- to try and look more adult. It was equal parts endearing and upsetting, because it was just another sign of how quickly he was growing up. First he started frowning and acting all mature beyond his years, then he started going to school, and next thing you knew, he was off to Hogwarts, refusing to associate with his godfather, starting a punk rock band and leaving his home without a backward glance.

Hm. Maybe he was overreacting?

He was saved from thinking about that by Harry poking his cheek with a chubby little finger, “Nuh-uh! I saw you. You were all-all frowny and sad.” He scrunched his nose and exaggerated the frown on his face, seemingly in an imitation of what Sirius looked like, and man, his godson really was quite observant, huh?

“Okay, you got me, honey,” Sirius admitted reluctantly. Just because he was facing a five year old didn’t mean he wanted to lie to him.

“I was just thinking of you going to school tomorrow.”

Harry cocked his head to the side, confused (and looking exactly like lily as he did).

Pretty Boy 187 [s.r x reader]

summary: reader finds out that her new found tumblr crush is none other than her coworker.

content warnings: she/her!reader, mentions of alcohol

a/n: hi!! i’m so happy to be posting again. i’m really proud of this, so i hope you all like it! as always, let me know if you have any requests!

convincing spencer to get tumblr was tough. not only did he hate technology, he didn’t like social media either.

“it’s gonna be fun! c’mon, please?” you’ve been bugging him about it for about a week. “spencer, please just download it. if i have to hear (y/n) whine again i’m gonna loose it.” said derek, plopping is papers on his desk. “you like it when i whine.” you teased, causing derek to flash you a toothy grin. “alright! jeez.” you clapped of joy and jumped to help spencer, but he stopped you. “no way, i’m not letting you follow me.” he kept his phone facing away from you, your arms dropping to your sides in defeat. “fine. i’ll find your account somehow.” “we’ll see about that.”

♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥

over the next few weeks you acquired a few new followers, only one catching your eye. ‘prettyboy187’ followed you on a quiet friday afternoon. the username caught your attention at first, but when you checked is profile? that’s when you were hooked. half of his pictures were just aesthetically pleasing: outside of his window, his extreme sugary coffee, some books. but others...

it was an excerpt of a poem and his hand was holding back the pages. you doubt he meant to capture it so beautifully. just his hand was godly. you wasted no time dming him.

hey :)

how desperate did you look right now? he followed you barley an hour ago. you cant stop staring at that picture.

hello

he didn’t sound happy. well, he didn’t “sound” anything, you guys were texting. but you could feel his tone through the screen. where you overthinking this too much? you shuffled into your bed, wrapping yourself in the covers as you pondered what to say next.

i just wanted to tell you i really like your account. are you a photographer or something?

no, i’m not. my friend convinced me to get this app and i noticed people post aesthetically pleasing photos on here, so i’m just doing the same haha.

ok, well you don’t post nice pictures. at least, not that type. maybe you’d post a picture of the snow or your bed, but every now and then you’d bless the feed with a picture of you in a swimsuit. it was more for opinions on the suit than anything else.

ohh. maybe i should start doing that.

how do you mean?

oh.

that sounded like a very judge-y ‘oh’. your eyes scanned your own profile to see what he could’ve hated. there was you in your favorite red swimsuit, a picture of your computer with netflix on the screen. the rest of the posts were of the same type, so you couldn’t pinpoint what the problem was.

what is it?

no, nothing. your recent picture. that’s a nice swim suit.

oh. that’s what he meant. you practically threw your phone across the room and squealed. thank the universe that he didn’t dislike you already. you shot him another text. just like that, you had your first ever tumblr crush.

♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥

“what’s up with you pretty girl?” derek asked when you walked into work. you supposed you still had the blush on your face when pretty boy wished you a good morning and day at work. “nothing!” you said, obviously it being something. as if on cue, spencer walked in behind you also giddy. “what, you’re both sweet on someone now?” when neither of you responded, derek laughed. “what?” emily inquired, taking her seat. “spencer and (y/n) both have a crush.” emily’s jaw dropped. “spencer has a crush?” everyone broke into laughter, jj overhearing and almost dropping her files. “why is that so surprising?” spencer defended himself, derek giving him a ‘you know the answer to that’ look. “well?what’re their names?” he pushed. you bit your tongue. you didn’t even know his name. yikes. “let’s start.” aaron called. saved by hotch. thank goodness. “this ain’t over.” derek warned the two of you. yes it was. by the end of the day morgan would’ve forgotten all about this.

♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥

you were right like always. morgan didn’t ask anymore about it, instead offering to get drinks. you turned it down, desperate to get home and text your boy. and you did, only at 11pm.

hey, sorry it’s so late. had a long day at work.

no worries, so did i. listen, i have a question.

this boy only sent messages that would make your heart drop. with a pacing heart, you texted back.

yes?

his ‘online’ button flashes on. then he was typing. then he was deleting. it seemed like hours before he responded.

what’s your name?

godamnit. you didnt have a display name because you didn’t want anyone you knew finding your account. what’s a fake name you can use? maybe...

lila.

why did you pick spencer’s ex’s name? you don’t know. you remember being insanely jealous of her because she got to kiss spencer in the pool while you were posted outside. your crush on spencer was still very much alive, but not as much as it was with pretty boy.

that’s a pretty name.

thanks. now you have to tell me yours ;)

you’ve never been so nervous for a text conversation in your life. for some reason, the back of your head wondered what it would be like if you were texting spencer. it was just a thought, though. spencer would never say half of this stuff.

call me morgan.

oh NO. please no... you stalked his profile again, terrified that you’ve been flirting with your coworker this past month. alas, your eye caught another body picture- this time of his arm. no tattoos like derek. not to mention he was much smaller. not that that’s a bad thing. you don’t think you’d ever be able to handle derek...

♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥

you arrived at work yet again with a blushing face. “come on, you can’t keep hiding this from me! tell me something at least!” derek whined. “okay! his name is morgan. and i know what you’re thinking, and no, it’s not you, my boy is much more attractive.” derek’s mouth formed into an ‘O’ shape in fake offense. “that’s damn near impossible. ain’t nobody prettier than derek morgan.” spencer walked in now, again with a dorky smile on his face. “spencer. (y/n)’s got a crush on-“ you jumped to cover his mouth, the sound of your crush’s name muffled. “what- hey! no fair! derek gets to know but i cant?” spencer whined. derek held his hands up and sat back down, not wanting to get you mad. smart. “three can’t keep a secret.” was all you said before sitting down to clean your workspace.

♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥

the new highlight of your day was texting morgan. you learned several things about him; he has a job he can’t specify for personal reasons, he really wants a dog but he feels like animals hate him. you told him about your cat joel, and how they could absolutely love him. he appreciated that.

if i tell you something, do you promise not to freak out?

depends. are you about to tell me you’re a serial killer?

no!

you giggled to yourself at your humor.

i wanna meet you.

you promised not to freak out, but you were freaking out. it was just now setting in that you didn’t know this man at all. where he lived, how old he was, even what he looked like. you took a few deep breaths and asked a question.

where do you live?

quantico virginia.

no hesitation on that one. he lived in the same town as you? you didn’t know how you’d be able to turn this down...

shit, me too. let’s meet up then.

i’ll send you a good place to get drinks.

♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥

“every time you walk in here, you’re blushing. now so are your ears.” you beamed at derek, sitting at your desk before spilling. “i’m gonna meet him.” “wait what? are you sure that’s safe?” you rolled your eyes. “i’m an fbi agent. i’m not scared of a little danger.” you playfully winked and derek blew out a huff of air. “if anything happens, you know you can call me.” you pouted at your friend and nodded, appreciating his concern. spencer was spinning in his seat. “you happy too?” you asked. he only nodded and didn’t elaborate. you we’re going to press on, but hotch called you all in and you lost your chance.

♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥

on rare occasions, the bau got tough cases with very happy endings. this was one of those cases. the plane ride home was extremely joyous and derek offered to get drinks again. this time, everyone accepted (all except hotch). you texted morgan telling him you were going out tonight and you wouldn’t be back till late. you laughed to yourself. it was like he was your boyfriend.

♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥

the night was young and you were fairly tipsy. ok that’s generous, you were drunk. you were spending most of your time with penelope and it took you a minute to remember spencer. “ohmygosh! spence!” he was startled at your presence but he gave you that flat mouthed smile of his. “how are you! you’re my favorite scorpio.” you nodded as you said it, as if trying to convince him it was true. “thanks? i’m good. you’re drunk.” he pointed out. “no shit. hey!!! you never showed me your tumblr user! you gotta show me that girl you like, bet you she’s really sexy.” you didn’t even know what you were saying at this point, whipping out your phone and snapping a picture with spencer. “what are you doing?” he asked, watching you type. “posting this on tumblr! i want everyone to know you’re my favorite in the world.” he wanted to ask favorite what, but a ping on his phone distracted him. lila posted. he smiled and checked her page.

holy fuck.

♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥

“(y/n)?” he asked, not looking away from his phone. “yess?” you responded. “what’s your tumblr?” what is your tumblr? “uhhh..i don’t know, check.” you tossed him your open phone, and his eyes only grew wider. “you’re lila?” the words rang through your ears like a siren. “what?” the word was breathy, you couldn’t add stability to what you said. spencer showed you his phone, ‘prettyboy187’ on the screen. “you’re morgan?” still no confidence in your voice whatsoever. your feelings were supposed to change, you weren’t supposed to like that morgan was spencer. but they didn’t. you didn’t even think about the fact he saw your swimsuit photos. you loved that morgan was spencer, and you still wanted to see him on the weekend. “are you mad?” you asked, not being able to stop yourself from sipping from your glass. “no. should i be?” you smiled. “no. do you still wanna meet up this weekend?” “yes. but i don’t wanna get drinks.” he wasn’t even drinking, why is he complaining. “where should we go then?” “my house.”

[smittenroses]

Could I have some headcanons of Vera and/or Patricia comforting their s/o who started crying? Only if you feel okay with it, of course.

Vera and Patricia comforting their s/o when they cry

Patricia Dorval || Enchantress

Patricia didn't expect for you to start crying like you did, as it was all so sudden to her since just before you had seemed perfectly fine.

then again Patricia tends to struggle with any form of intimacy so you couldn't blame her too much - she rarely held hands as is.

but seeing you so vulnerable and exposed... she couldn't help but hold you. Sure, it did shock you for a moment given the fact she rarely did things like this, but you had practically melted into her hold soon after, using her to keep yourself steady as she began to rub soothing circles into your back.

"It's ok, little butterfly..." She would mutter into your ear before humming a song her mother sang to her before, but alas, she had forgotten the words to.

she hates to see any other person besides herself in pain, so just seeing you made her think she had failed to protect you from the karma that rubs off her, that she has failed to always make sure your smile is always there.

she never wanted to see you cry again.

Vera Nair || Perfumer

Chloe had always been the most empathetic sister out of the twins, and this hadn't changed when she had taken on the identity of her sister.

In fact, she had even mimicked the way her twin would take care of her, and as soon as she saw you crying, she saw herself and without a question scooped your face into her hands and began to gently sing to you in French.

Her thumbs would gently wipe your tears away, the silk soaking up your tears, her face veil would hide her own tears that threatened to spill.

oh how she wished her sister was here to provide you the same comfort she had to her, but alas, she was now Vera, and Vera would always do her best to make sure that those around her were happy, even at the cost of her own happiness.

"Chin up," She'd try to smile and say, "you'll get through this, I believe in you." The words of her sister echoed out of her own mouth.

Vera would've adored you, after all.
