5 things a tinder heartbreak taught me

There was snow on the ground, on December day, and I chose the warmth of my bed instead of the excitement of another Silicon Valley Christmas party. I spent the night browsing the men's profiles who were on Tinder in search of a love interest and was just one swipe away. When M's profile appeared, my heart beat faster. I remember having a conversation with him last year and falling in love with his large brown eyes. So I swiped left and he did too.

We had a long conversation over texts, agreed to attend the Sufi event in India together, and agreed to meet up when he came returning from NYC and a month after. Motivated by distance, a desire for love, and two ferocious personalities, our relationship grew quickly and in week three He delivered the kiss of love.

I informed my family and friends, as well as anyone else who would like to know that I'd found "The One."

It's not a happily ever after tale. The day came for them to meet face-to-face, and things changed. M wasn't the kind, the loveable man he appeared to be on the screen. He retreated from himself, and within one week, his time was up.

I was heartbroken.. and ashamed I was also embarrassed, and I was turning 29. I could attempt to come to terms with it and meet a new man or stop for a moment, and think about my relationship with romantic partners.

So I decided to focus my attention in my Winter Find your Passion Class on a project that is an entirely different type: Re-examine my thoughts on love and write an article on my findings and send it to the NYTimes.

I went through 100 days of dating abstinence I researched relationships by speaking to nine couples that "work," hired a relationship coach as well as read three books. attended two workshops, and I learned a few things.

Also read: Koi Kisi Ka Nahi Hota Status

4- It's not him it's you

"After the honeymoon has ended and the desire systems which were still in the relationship, that possess the attraction continue to flow and the whole thing is gone. Then you have the task of completing the. The same thing happens. If you swap one of your partners for another, you'll have the same job."

-- Ram Dass on 'The Idea of Soul Mates'

Relationships place your problems on the table and there's no way out from them unless you decide to acknowledge them, accept them, and begin working to address the issues.

I'd, for a long time, blamed my relationships' failures on the fact that I didn't find the right person or a weakness in my relationship. I had the option to repeat the same mistake following my most recent heartbreak, label him an a**hole and go on. Instead, I decided this time to discover the reasons I drew people like him.

The truth is that my desire for attention and love drives me to seek out intensity and instantaneity. Recognizing this problem helps me be aware of the times I indulge in it and helps me be honest when I encounter people.

5. Virtual isn't real

It's simple to cover up behind a screen and have romantic relationships. You can end chats when conversations become uncomfortable, or you can tell that someone you love via text messages and then leave the next day by stopping the person. It all depends on how you go about the online platform, I've discovered that being in a relationship online for a prolonged period of time can lead to the possibility of a complete loss. If you're single and looking to receive these dopamine boosters online consider rethinking your decision.

The New York Times "Modern Love" columnist Daniel Jones says about relationships that are developing on the internet:

"We're trying to get over the awkwardness and vulnerability and get straight to a good relationship. "

-- Daniel Jones

In an overview

One of my biggest fears was that I would not meet the love of my life.

Following my love affair, I realized that I will be grateful for the journey to date and also the fact that I am single. It's been a time when I've grown aware of my own shortcomings, which will help me to prepare for a healthy relationship, and hopefully a longer-lasting one. In addition, I have the right answer:

There is always a choice regardless of whether you're either single or in a relationship to blame someone else for your problems and difficulties or to look inside yourself and continue to work towards Learn, accepting, improving, and keeping going. The truth is that It's the sole thing that you can control. If you ever hit an obstacle, think of two things: 1)) You have the option of deciding, and 2) Hollywood and Disney are lying.

An Action Hero (2022): The Chase Begins!

“Bahut Mushkil Se Alag Kia Tha… Apne Andar Ke Neta Ko, Aur Kaan Tute Pehelwaan Ko… Tu Aaya, Aur Beech Ka Dhaaga Kheech Ke Bhaag Gaya… Mann To Bahut Hain Tujhe Maaf Karne Ka, Kursi Ki Kasam… Dikkat Bas Ek Hi Hain… Pehelwaan Nahi Maanega!” Starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Jaideep Ahlawat, Bollywood brings you an out-and-out action-thriller which will redefine the concept of violence. Titled “An Action Hero”, this violent action-thriller has been produced by Bhushan Kumar, and written and directed by Anirudh Iyer. It released across theaters worldwide on December 2, 2022. An Action Hero: Starring: Ayushmann Khurrana. Special appearance: Nora Fatehi. Song: Jehda Nasha https://youtu.be/jpYkoa-uE_c “An Action Hero” tells the tale of a Bollywood action superstar who has been accused of murder. He goes into hiding in order to avoid arrest. But will he be able to save himself from the victim’s fearsome brother who is out there searching for him to seek vengeance for his brother’s death? To know more, read my narration of the full story here. An Action Hero (2022) Official Trailer: https://youtu.be/vCTt_PnWHPg The Good: Raw Action! “Put your gun down, and let’s fight hand-to-hand!” This is what we get to see in An Action Hero. The action scenes are raw, thrilling, and exciting. In short, this is a movie for real men. Women and children may not find it too appealing. Confrontation scenes between Ayushmann Khurrana and Jaideep Ahlawat are intense. Jaideep Ahlawat as the tyrant politician Bhoora Solanki will for sure give you nightmares with his brilliant acting. His screen presence is amplified by his terrifying appearance. The character of Bhoora Solanki is big and brawny; a murderous guy who is after Bollywood superstar Maanav Khuranna’s blood. His character has animosity, which is evident from the instances where he manhandles Maanav. A fun fact is that Jaideep Ahlawat was asked in a promotional event for this movie, “You are used to playing roles of fearsome goons and henchmen in whatever films you do. What did you actually do before becoming a Bollywood actor?” He and the audience then roared out laughing. Jokes apart! https://youtu.be/vp7vkxXh2Rk The action stunts have been choreographed by Ian van Temperley and Stunt Silva. The action stunts in An Action Hero afford a lot of thrill. Gun violence, gang wars, murders, and ferocious hand-to-hand combats, you will witness them all in An Action Hero. The best thing about the action scenes is that they are daring! Here both Ayushmann and Jaideep tell each other to put their guns down and fight like real men, which they did. Let the cops and even underworld mafias go to hell! Nothing’s coming between us when we fight! Terrific Dialogues That You Are Bound To Remember Forever! Presenting some heavyweight dialogues from the movie, which have been written by Neeraj Yadav! One of them, narrated by Jaideep Ahlawat to Ayushmann Khurrana, is what I have mentioned at the very beginning of this review. If you are not familiar with Hindi, I will translate it for you. It means, “I tried my level best to separate my political self and inner He-Man. You came and messed up both. I swear by my political fame that I wish I could spare you…but there is a problem. That is, He-Man won’t listen!” If you are a fan of intimidating dialogues, you will surely understand the meaning of this one. This is intimidation re-defined! A fascinating dialogue by Ayushmann Khurrana goes, “Ladna Mera Kaam Hain…Sahuk Nahi”. It means, “Fighting is my job, not my passion”. https://youtu.be/THp6zOZuwao Rocking Dance Tracks Involving Special Appearances The music tracks in An Action Hero are rocking. Dancer Nora Fatehi made a special appearance in the fiery track “Jehda Nasha” alongside Ayushmann and actress Malaika Arora too made a special appearance in the groovy dance track “Aap Jaisa Koi”, which is in fact a recreated version of the original track by the same name from the 1980 Bollywood film Qurbani. The introduction of gorgeous dancers like Nora Fatehi and Malaika Arora added color to these rocking musical tracks. Ayushmann Khurrana and Malaika Arora in the musical track "Aap Jaisa Koi" from An Action Hero https://youtu.be/qXmVVXzBNBU And you will be amazed to learn that the “Evergreen Player” of Bollywood, Akshay Kumar, too made a brief cameo appearance in this movie. His role is very short, but upon seeing him the sound of applause from the audience was everlasting! Awesome Camerawork Coupled With Sharp Editing An Action Hero has been extensively shot across London. The backgrounds of the city of London are fascinating and have been amplified by the high-definition camerawork by Kaushal Shah. The precise and skillful editing by Ninad Khanolkar kept this high-end action-thriller as precise as possible, covering a duration of 2 hours and 10 minutes only. The sequences in the movie have a smooth flow throughout with no diverting instances. Direction That Deserves An Appreciation Anirudh Iyer’s direction of An Action Hero truly deserves applause. This is his debut film as a director and I must say, he definitely knows the craft of filmmaking. His narrative style is just awesome! The Bad: Ayushmann Khurrana’s Image Ayushmann Khurrana has marvelously carried himself as the Bollywood action hero Maanav Khuranna in An Action Hero. He has aptly placed himself in the character of Maanav. Reports reveal that he had even undergone martial arts training for this role. However, there’s something known as an image! Ayushmann Khurrana has played very vulnerable roles in whatever films he has done till now. He had a comical lover-boy image earlier. His first action film was Anek. When it was released, the audiences found it hard to accept him as an action hero. Now, this is his second action film and that too by the name “An Action Hero”! If you ask me, I would say that Indian audiences are still finding it hard to accept him in such intense action-oriented roles. In spite of a job well done, he may not be favored by the audience. So, I don’t know if it was a wise decision for the filmmakers to cast Bollywood’s ex-lover boy, Ayushmann Khurrana as the protagonist of a serious action-thriller like this one. Some Flaws In The Screenplay The story of An Action Hero by Anirudh Iyer is uniquely different which succeeds in captivating the audiences. It is interesting enough to engage you till the end. There are some amazing twists and turns within the story which further add to the thrill. Instances like the introduction of the character of crime lord Mahamod Ibrahim (played by Gautam Joglekar) were a turning point in the story. Gautam Joglekar as the crime lord was fantastic, and he did live up to the character. Further, the thrill was sustained till the very end, as only in the climax we got to know what really happened to Bhoora Solanki. However, Neeraj Yadav’s screenplay has some minor flaws. I am not saying the screenplay is bad. It is very interesting. But the minor flaws in it may make the story seem a bit unrealistic. Allow me to point out those to you! https://youtu.be/EI5Tq1lVuVs Maanav, an action superstar of Bollywood, happens to be a public figure. He is shown absconding to the UK. If you ask me, this doesn’t suit a public personality like him. If he is himself convinced that the death of Vicky Solanki was accidental, then he could have very well considered informing the police about the matter. This was no premeditated crime. So chances of Maanav being innocent in this case were high. He, in fact, made situations worse for himself by running away from the police which made everyone assume him to be a cold-blooded murderer. He needed to have the basic maturity to understand that at some point in time he will definitely be caught. There is no escape from the law. And if he gets caught, then he would have to narrate the same story to the police that it was just an accident. So, why not go to the police and tell the truth now?! Yes, there is always a risk but if he had considered surrendering to the police after the accidental death of Vicky, chances were that things would have turned out in his favor. The second flaw in the screenplay is what I praised a bit ago. “Put your gun down, and let’s fight hand-to-hand!” Yes, this is a man-to-man fight but, if you think logically, it is direly absurd. Bhoora Solanki who is bent upon avenging his brother’s death should have shot and killed Maanav at their very first confrontation. Instead, in spite of having a gun, he puts his gun aside and persuades Maanav to fight him hand-to-hand. This looks somewhat illogical. I think such weak instances have been put in the screenplay just to elongate the drama. Another minus point in the screenplay is that there is no female lead! Except for two romantic dance tracks where Ayushmann can be seen dancing with Nora Fatehi and Malaika Arora, who made special guest appearances, there is literally no female casting in this film. Along with action and thrill, Indian audiences love romance, which is seriously lacking in this movie. The Verdict: The filming for An Action Hero was wrapped up within three months. It began in January 2022 and ended in March 2022. I believe, the only aspect which may stop the audiences from liking this awesome action-thriller is Ayushmann Khurrana’s image. I don’t know what made the filmmakers cast Ayushmann for such a dynamic action-oriented role. It’s true that the film has some amount of comedy involved which in fact makes it a black comedy. So, the filmmakers might have thought that casting a comical hero for an intense action role might do this film well. But they forgot that there are other heroes in Bollywood too like Vidyut Jammwal and Tiger Shroff, who is made for action! If you are on the lookout for a true action hero for a film which is titled “An Action Hero”, then might as well cast these actors rather than Ayushmann! But Vidyut Jammwal and Jaideep Ahlawat already had a confrontation in the 2013 action-thriller Commando. So, I think the filmmakers might have decided that it is time for a change! Whatever the case may be, An Action Hero is for sure a high-octane entertainer. If you are an action and thrill lover, then this is just the movie for you. To see Ayushmann Khurrana take on Jaideep Ahlawat in one-on-one combats, check out “An Action Hero” running at your nearest theaters. Read the full article

👀 tell us abt ur fave tattoos!!! (a12)

I HAVE ARISEN

Ahem.

THANK YOU.

Yakuza Questionnaire

*Photo credits from the Yakuza Fandom Wiki.

Under a cut just to save some space since I've included images.

Note: A lot of this is my personal opinion and interpretation. For the actual emphasis on the lore and such, there's plenty of information to be had.

Also tagging @majimemegoro

Ahh the tattoo's. The irezumi really make up the yakuza series in such a special way. Each one is so beautifully crafted and perfectly fitting to all the characters. You know how much thought Horitomo and the developers put into them and while it's a bit of a shame that the more modern stories don't feature them as much for the changing times (and of course, subsequently the end of the yakuza in canon) they'll always hold such a special place in my heart.

If you ever look up the mythology and the symbolism that is integrated into them, you could spend some hours just really appreciating it.

As a quick note, characters who's tattoos I wish we got to see include:

Kashiwagi, Sera, Kazama, Nishitani, Sagawa.

I am so curious about them, WHAT DO THEY HAVE.

Arakawa Masumi from yakuza 7 too I KNOW he has something amazing and we have been denied.

Something else I've always also liked is how certain tattoo's in the series exist in conflict with other characters. *Like the symbolism between Kiryu and Mine's tattoo's, in that a kirin is legendarily one of the only beings that can defeat a dragon, etc*.

Kiryu Kazuma: The Silver Dragon

Kiryu's irezumi is famous for good reason. It's stunning. Intricate, detailed, intense. The longer you look into this dragon's eyes, scales, pose, the more you seem to see happening. Protective, conflicted, strong, perhaps too stubborn. Maybe prideful, but with good intentions.

There's an element of eternal conflict in Kiryu's tattoo to me. He might rest, but this roaring dragon will almost never truly be 100% at peace, made to fight and challenge as it seems to be. But never will it let it's bearer go.

Majima Goro: The Hannya

Majima probably has second most famous irezumi in series, and again, for good reason. His Hannya always seems both as though they are shielding him from the world with aggression and fear, but carefully guarding the lines of softer (but no less dangerous, after all-they got thorns) roses and clouds. Dramatic and strong, his irezumi carefully cloaks his body and presents the image he wants to the world with little question, all while safe guarding what tenderness lies beneath that screaming ruthlessness.

Saejima Taiga: The Tiger

I love tiger man having a tiger tattoo but Saejima really does at times seem like a tiger personified. A cuddly side, a ferocious protective side. Strong, but not overbearing. Keeping what is safe and important close and quieter, gentler and more sensitive beneath. Tigers, like all cats are sharp claws and biting fangs, but have that nice, softer underside you can get at if they'll let you. And maybe, if you're lucky, something that will shield and hold you as well.

Sort of in a 'keep you warm in the winter' way, almost. Metaphorically, and less so.

Goda Ryuji: The Golden Dragon

Honestly, that side story in Kiwami 2 sums up how good Ryuji's tattoo is better than I ever could. Strong, furious, bright and angry. You know exactly what you're getting from the man bearing this tattoo.

Or..do you?

Kasuga Ichiban: The Dragon Fish

I ADORE Ichiban's mid-transformation dragon fish. The legendary koi that has almost gotten to it's peak. So close, but just not yet finished undergoing the challenges set before it to achieve that. In transition, having this permanently etched upon his skin makes me think of a character, a person who is always going to have some kind of mountain to climb, but most probably will come out on top. Maybe with more scars than he recalls, but perhaps that is part of the process.

There's an optimism to Ichiban's tattoo in it's intensity that I really like.

Mine Yoshitaka: The Kirin: The Guardian

When I read about the kirin, and how it only shows up in the presence of someone it feels worthy of protecting-as well as being the one of the only creatures capable of defeating a dragon, I needed a moment.

It seemed so utterly on the nose and perfect that I just..had to sit. But it makes such sense. Mine is furiously devoted to one person, and one person only. And he will go through hell and high water to defend that person. Pretty fitting for a guardian. An angry, powerful guardian.

Dojima Daigo: Fyo Myoo: Acala, (Immovable Wisdom King)

We can at times maybe question just how wise Daigo is, but I think he has a perfectly good head on his shoulders that at times is lead astray by a more stubborn, headstrong nature (and general pettiness and sassiness) with ultimately good intentions.

(I am saying I wish Daigo could have been as sassy and catty as chairman as we know he's capable of). Bearing the image of a king, one that is poised as both stubborn and wise, holding a green dragon coiled about the raised sword) seems appropriate.

Interestingly, I do believe it's hinted in yakuza 5 that Daigo is pretty booksmart, and we know he can be very cunning when he's allowed that chance (again yakuza five) and has good leadership skills present.

Katsuya Naoki: The Crane

I'll be honest here, I'm not at all familiar with the mythology for Katsuya's but I'm a bird man and I love how pretty his is.

And he gets one of the best (if weird) tattoo reveals in series.

Kuze Daisaku: Enma: Judge and Ruler of Hell

Feels pretty self-explanatory, badass and perfect.

Shimabukuro Rikiya: The Okinawa Viper

Listening to Rikiya talk about his gorgeous viper is pretty much all I need to know it's incredible. And it's true. The amount of passion he holds about it and for it answers all this better, again than I ever could.

(And, like all of them it is just stunning).

And I'm including Aizawa's because I'll get in trouble if I don't.

But I did accidentally hit image limit on that, sorry @kulemii

Thank you for sending in and asking!

Ehm I am dearly sorry if this isn't a proper ask (like you have answered this one before, I seeked it in the headcanons and reactions so if i had overseen it I am so sorry >////<) so now my ask. How would the Mukami and Tsukinami react to their S/O asking them out of the blue about their Fav animal and she's/he's really serious.

Ruki - Your tone is quite off for such a simple question, if you are planning on getting any kind of animal don’t bother. I will return it to its place immediately. (He likes Koi fish okay)

Yuma - Pfft What’s with that serious look on yer face? I guess any kinda mutt or farm dog is cool to me, would’ve gotten one if Ruki wasn’t a pain in the ass ‘bout it.

Kou - Fufu That kind of information is top secret! You can never know my love for kittens! Oops~ don’t tell anybody okay~?

Azusa - Favorite animal…? Hm… capybaras are nice… such friendly and… interesting creatures… I want to pet one…

Carla - All animals have their own unique characteristics. The ones which are the most ferocious but tame-able are the most intriguing I suppose.

Shin - Any animal besides humans, and vampires I can tolerate right nii-san? Always so pesky and inconsiderate!

Epiphany? Lau’s tattoo...

...could be two regular koi and one that’s transforming into a golden dragon.

⚠️ Very long post.

After doing a doodle for @royalshinigami, I decided to do some research on fish tattoo designs in China. I quickly hit the effin’ jackpot. (I left out parts that I don’t think apply, so there’s more information on the website.) Here’s what looked pertinent:

First off, it’s convenient that this is a legend shared by the Chinese and the Japanese, so if we ever get a clear look at his tattoo, and if I’m right about the basic, overall design of it, then the Japanese fandom should immediately recognize the reference.

Considering the orientation of the swimming fish, how they travel up his arm, I think they are trying to make it over the waterfall. And the one on top, the one with its head coming up over his shoulder? It finally passed through Dragon’s Gate and is being rewarded by changing into the golden dragon. I believe the one at his shoulder represents himself, overcoming his obstacles and achieving his goals. Lau: A yellow/gold koi becoming a golden dragon.

Lau is highly adaptable, powerful, independent, rose quickly in the ranks of Qīng Bāng, is financially successful. The list could go on. Koi represents him perfectly.

Here’s where I consider the colors of the other two koi, because I think there might be three in total. We could be dealing with a tattoo that’s just in black, and if so, then these colors won’t matter. However, if they are in full color, then the one farthest down his arm (farthest away from Drgaon’s Gate) is black... according to the cover art for Volume IX. (I would include that image here, but I hit the image limit.)

The black koi could represent an earlier version or simply an aspect of himself, having overcome some obstacle. If it’s someone else, it would probably be his father.

If the one in the middle is not himself, it could be his mother. And if it also represents himself, red would be a good color for power and bravery.

The one at the shoulder might be changing into a golden dragon, so visually it would make sense (be aesthetically pleasing) for the fish to start out as gold, too. Perhaps this is a yellow and orange mixed koi, appearing golden, that symbolizes Lau’s fortune and wealth.

That top one would be a “dragon koi”... a powerful and ferocious beast that represents new beginnings. Let’s not forget that Lau suggested to our earl and his servants that they pick up and move to some faraway land to start over. That’s basically what he was doing, too. Even though he was the highest official in Qīng Bāng by the time he was setting sail to England, this was still like a fresh start or clean slate.

So... regardless of whom each koi represents, I now theorize:

The one at his shoulder is golden and transforming into a golden dragon. A golden “dragon koi”. It represents new beginnings, wealth, and good fortune.

The one in the middle (if there really are three) is red, representing things like power, bravery, and intense love.

The one that starts on his forearm, farthest away from the top or Dragon’s Gate, is black, representing strength and obstacles that have been overcome.

If only one represents himself, then it’s the golden one at the top. The red one would likely represent his mother, and the black one would likely represent his father.

Since the Jester archetype is “Self” centric, it’s entirely possible that they all represent him... either at different stages of his life or simply different aspects of himself.

If the tattoo is just black, then all the fish probably represent him, and the color symbolism no longer matters, except for the black. And perhaps gold, simply because the legend of the dragon koi still applies.

And I might as well plop this down here, too, while I’m at it.

What are his ultimate goals? The title page for ch170 strongly suggests that Lau thinks he’s nearing completion of them. What does he hope to accomplish in Wiltshire?

I think I know what would make our earl no longer interesting to Lau: if the kid gave up. Lau might see himself in our earl, just like Soma could relate. But way more so than Soma, who never knew true loss until just recently. He doesn’t want our earl to lose his fighting spirit in the face of so much pain and hardship. It would be sad... and boring.

Thoughts? Am I really onto something here?

The Wedding (Part 1) The Trap is Laid

Oh yeah... It’s all coming together... @rurifangirl

Thanks to an entire bottle of vodka you slept soundly. The sun was well up on the horizon when you crawled out of bed and took your time in the Jacuzzi. Your heart was beating fast both with excitement and nervousness. But you had to stay in character. You loved Chime. He was wonderful, sweet, shy and beautiful, so beautiful. You dressed in a comfortable robe and reminded yourself of Z’s advice on the night of Chance’s death. Ignore everyone and speak to no one unless absolutely necessary.

You open the shades to the windows over Tokyo and gasp.

Hydra’s minions had all left last night. The owner of the Takamagahara had a 75% stake in Hydra assets. If she sold it all, she could bankrupt the entire organization in an instant. So she had forced them to hold off on their assault for 24 hours.

But the Hydra were still the owners of Tokyo itself. Hydra still blockaded the area and controlled the subway station from the outskirts a few kilometers from here. The vast majority of merchants cooperated with them and the streets were desolate. This is called ‘clearing the area’, clearing out all the irrelevant people before the important people meet. After the clearing is done, Takamagahara will become the lone store on the street. If the negotiations failed, Hydra could go on a killing spree. The police department won't care about it, and there won't be anyone on the street to bail you out.

The streets were deserted, businesses were closed. There were signs on the doors saying "Sorry for the suspension of business". The police have set up barricades at both ends of the road so that cars without special permits cannot enter.

Taking advantage of the empty streets, the staff had lined both sides with garlands of roses, lilies, poppies and baby’s breath. Ribbons were tied to every tree. Ice sculptures of famous romantic scenes from classic literature were on the way. They were setting up stations with booths for food and souvenirs. Huge banners announcing the marriage between the “Dragon Lord Chime Gen and his Dragon Lady MC” hung over every major intersection. It looked more like a fairy tale royal wedding than a meeting between the Yakuza leaders of Japan.

Your heart beats faster and you hurry out of your executive level bedroom and head to the first floor where redecorating was in full swing! With the help of the construction team they had dressed it up as a night scene of the Shinjuku district, with neon signs of all sizes and an elevated bridge spanning from above.

“I hope everything is to your liking?” Su Enxi, the owner of the Takamagahara smiles smugly behind you.

“This is amazing! It’s like Tokyo Nightlife has come inside!”

“We chose the theme of a Yakuza wedding! So everyone here will be dressed as gangsters.” She held out one of the fancy invitations. The art was in the style of a Yakuza Tattoo with dragons, koi fish and tigers crawling in that traditional Ukiyo-E style that the Hydra Executive Board were famous for. On the inside was a lot of Japanese text you couldn’t read, but the art depicted shadow figures standing in a desolate alley.

“I love it!” You hand it back to her.

“Good. Here’s the guest list.” She hands it to you.

You blinked a bit. You didn’t recognize any of these names.

“We didn’t know who you would like so we invited pretty much every major powerplayer and celebrity in Japan. Only women of course.”

“These are all celebrities?” You stare at the list trying to find at least one name you knew.

Enxi frowned slightly and you flinched. How should you know? You were born nearly 40 years ago and you didn’t know any of these people from Adam. She expected you to be impressed. “Oh, right! Yes, I … yes I”m happy they’re coming!” You say, trying to recover.

It didn’t work and she takes back the list with an annoyed huff. “Don’t worry about learning their names. They’re only here to serve as shields and bargaining chips. The Hydra won’t be able to clear the area quickly if these celebrities are having a great time. If they try, it will be too much of a propaganda scandal.”

“I see.” You nod sagely. “Thank you.”

“Now go upstairs, eat, and get to the salon at 4 pm.” She checks her watch. “Guests will start to arrive at 8 pm tonight.”

“Where’s Chime?”

“The groom? Hiding. It’s bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the wedding.” She doesn’t even look at you as she walks away and claps her hands. “Chop! Chop! Let’s get moving!”

You return to your room with breakfast and hear a soft knock on the door. You open to Caesar who steps inside. “Ready for your big day?”

He was dressed casually again, just jeans and a muscle shirt. After all, he was going to work soon and probably wanted to relax. He looks over at the bottles of vodka and the bit of cigar you’d left on the table and raises an eyebrow. It looked like you had guests last night. “Did you party without me?”

“You can say that. Just some old friends.” You walk over to the massive floor to ceiling liquor cabinet and open the door. “Can I get you something?”

“I’m good.” He pauses again. He didn’t follow you. He’s staring at you.

“What?” You stare right back.

“Aren’t you going to ask about Zero?” Caesar asks.

You frown and close the cabinet. “Oh, that girl? Is she recovering alright?”

“She is. Lu Mingfei is looking over her for now. I’m surprised you didn’t come down to visit?”

You bat your eyes innocently. “Did she ask for me?”

Caesar turned away and walked over to the dining table, dropping the subject. The man was sharp. No doubt he saw the photo of Renata and immediately recognized Zero. When you met Zero, he likely noticed your reaction. He didn’t understand but he would drop it for now since it was clear that despite your obvious past affection you weren’t going to talk about her. “I want to say you came through again with this sudden wedding. I did not think you would go this far. How did you convince that Gen brother?”

“I just framed it as a way to convince Chisei. Is it extreme? Yes, but he’s that desperate.” You deliberately avoided mentioning anything about King General and moved away from the liquor cabinet to make tea instead. “Have you talked with Chime?”

“He’s still asleep.” Caesar picked another cigar from the box and lit it. “I trust you’ve thought through all the implications for going through with this?”

“Yes.” You say, putting the tea kettle on and waiting for it to boil. “I’ll start with the implications if things go badly. Let’s say that Chisei is a bigger idiot than we thought and he does kill Chime. As his wife, I won’t be spared. This marriage puts me not only in the Devil Clan officially but also in the upper rankings. At best, I’ll be imprisoned forever. But more likely I’ll be killed as a Devil.”

“Should our special guest arrive and I can’t use my love effectively, hundreds of people could die, all of them top celebrities. More importantly, I’ll lose my entire world even if I do manage to survive.” Everyone you ever knew was here. Z, Renata, Caesar, Chu Zihang, Lu Mingfei and Fingel. If they all died tonight, you would be desolate with nothing left.

You return with the tea and sit down across from him. “If things go right, then a lot of things will be in your hands, not mine. You’ll be negotiating my place in Japan with Chisei. Once all the things are completed, I’ll be in a position to help run the Devil Clan just by my position alone as his wife and I'll be easily installed as Japan Branch lead should Chisei and Chime follow through on their desires to vacate those positions.”

Caesar nodded slowly but then he shuddered. “So cold.”

“What?” You look up.

“If you marry that guy I won’t see you for quite some time. You won’t be coming back with us.”

You smile over your cup. “Oh don’t give me that. An old friend is better than two new ones. As the saying goes.” You quip, slyly referencing Chime’s split persona. “I still have your wedding to attend. And I consider you my best man at this wedding.”

“Brides can have a Best Man?” Caesar asked.

“It’s my wedding. I do what I want.” You rest your chin on the heel of your hand.

Caesar took a deep breath and took the cigar with him as he stood. “Well, I gotta do what I gotta do. There’s going to be shows before your appearance and I'm in one of them.”

“Break a leg.” You say as he leaves.

You still feel uneasy. You want to talk to Z. You stand up and leave that room and go to the bathroom, a spot Fingel had described as a blind spot. The bathroom was empty when you got there but when you turned to the mirror, Z was standing behind you.

You whirl, with a ferocious look. “Stop doing that!”

“Why? It’s fun!” He’s dressed in a tuxedo with golden cufflinks in the shape of dragons. “Why are you the only one who gets to have a good time? Enjoying the festivities?” He asked coyly.

“Yes I am. You’ve really outdone yourself. Thank you.”

Z suddenly frowned. And then he smiled again. “Hahaha… you almost had me there.”

“Yep! I hate you. You didn’t tell me Renata was alive. Go find a city bus to lay under.” You wink, but your words are serious.

“I’ve got my finger in so many pies right now. It’s not even funny. Show some respect. I just stopped by because I’m just so excited for this!” He held up a poster.

“I can’t read that.” The poster was of an evil man with a white rose in his mouth and a blood-stained sword across his chest, his eyes fierce, yet irresistibly sultry.

“It’s a wanted notice for the dangerous Ruri the Midnight Ripper!” He breathed excitedly, reading the poster. “The dangerous killer Midnight Ruri is active in the nights of Tokyo. He has killed countless young women, and the yakuza clan has offered a reward of 10 million yen for his head. Every woman going home tonight should be careful. It is said that he only attacks the most beautiful women, so the most conservative dress is the safest.” Z licked his lips and chuckled.

“Ugh. That’s insulting to the groom! Why would you do that?”

“It is the groom! You marry one, you marry the other!” Z laughed incredulously, slapping at the poster with his hand. “Did you forget? Or do you think it doesn’t matter who he kills so long as you’re alive?” He gives you a long glaring smile.

You gaze at him silently while he rolls up the poster. “It’s a beauty contest! All the ladies will read this and get excited. They’ll say ‘I’m the most beautiful. I hope to get targeted by Ruri!’ They will dress provocatively in hopes of attracting the attention of Ruri the Ripper. The venue will be loaded to the brim with delicious tempting targets!” He lets out another bird-like ‘ke-ke-ke’.

You can only scowl because you can’t argue.

“I didn’t tell you his true nature when you fell in love with him, I just told you not to do it. So… you can be forgiven for that. But this? Oh no, sweetheart. This is on you.” He points the poster at you. “But, don’t back out now!”

“I won’t. A lot is riding on this. I feel like there’s a dagger at my back if I don’t go through with it…” You trail off, eyes lowering to the dagger that Z always kept at his side.

“It’s a hot, sexy dagger right?” Z swayed his hips and then turned around. “You kids have fun playing dress up. I’m going to get back to work.”

He took one step and vanished.

You would spend the rest of the day in the beauty salon. Your dress was pure white, embroidered with pearls and diamonds that gave off the impression of scales, as though you were dressing up as the White King Izanami herself. Your hands were covered with elbow length princess gloves to hide the black veins on your skin, but then they stuck jewels in a mask like pattern on your face, trading your real scales for artificial ones. Your hair was piled high on your head in a traditional Japanese bun with silver sticks resembling horns.

The night fell and the desolate streets flooded with hundreds of Tokyo society elites as well as Hydra elite warriors. It turned out that Enxi used her financial clout to grant traffic passes to all the guests. Traffic was bumper to bumper. Every guest invited showed up to this wedding that shut down a major part of the city for an entire day. No one wanted to miss such an exclusive event.

The Takamagahara was filled to the brim with sleeveless and backless dresses, fishnet stockings in high heels, dangerously short skirts and perilously low cleavage.

The waiters wear black uniforms. They roll up their sleeves to reveal dragon and tiger tattoos. To light a customer’s cigarette they will draw out a waist pistol. The muzzle of the gun produced bright flames. It was impossible to tell who was armed with the real thing or with these toys. Because everyone was dressed as a Hydra Yakuza, it was hard to tell the Hydra members from the guests!

The men and women shouted and played craps. The wine flowed endlessly. Occasionally the Whale came on stage to say two silly and majestic words, followed by a performance. Diamond was here to do his sexy rodeo strip show. There were popular shows such as BasaraKing's "Cleopatra" and Ukyou's "Sakura Falling on Itsuru Island". Armani was here to entertain guests with card tricks. Calypso dazzled a few of the younger guests.

The sound of a powerful engine drowned out the music. A Harley Davidson motorcycle pulled into the middle of the dance floor. Caesar was dressed in a tight leather jacket, all covered in silver chains, with a shiny Desert Eagle stuck in his belt. He took off his sunglasses and threw them at the guests, "My engine is burning hot, are you ready?"

“BasaraKing! BasaraKing!" Hundreds of roses were thrown onto the stage.

White rose petals fell from the sky, and Chu Zihang, wearing a red leather trench coat with a skull mask, crashed from the sky to the center of the stage. Caesar drove his motorcycle towards Chu Zihang, and the two faked a fight, as if they were performing some kind of gangster stage show.

You watch from a hidden spot near the stage. You still have not seen Chime and Chime hasn't seen you. But it was almost time for the main event. Your wedding. All of this celebration was a luxurious trap for the King General and you searched the crowd looking for him. But if he was here, he wouldn’t be in the crowd. He’d be somewhere where he could see you. You were his target. You were his prey.

After a few rounds of fighting, Chu Zihang had picked up Caesar's dropped Desert Eagle and shot him through the chest, but then he suddenly swooped in and hugged Caesar, who was about to fall down.

The scene is about a pair of mob brothers, Caesar as the unruly brother and Chu Zihang as the lonely and sensitive brother. They grew up alone, but determined to be the best of the best. The brothers heard that politicians and gangsters must cooperate with each other in order to go higher and higher. So the two brothers drew lots, one to grow up as a gangster to defeat various gangs as the king of the gangsters; one to go to the University of Tokyo as a famous lawyer, and then enter the political world as a great politician. The result of the lottery is that the unruly brother Caesar is going to be a politician. While the sensitive brother Chu Zihang is going to break into the difficult underworld.

But they obeyed their destiny, and the two agreed not to contact each other again. But they always helped each other in critical moments. No one knew that the brother of the mob boss was a rising star in politics, and no one understood why the brother's gang always survived in the anti-gang operations.

Twenty years later Caesar’s politician character became a member of parliament and became even more headstrong, wanting to be the overlord of all Japan. So he set off a storm of anti-gang raids, and all the gangs were badly hit. Chu Zihang’s character had to intervene to stop the brother, saying that the yakuza had a long history in Japan and many people depended on them for their livelihood. If the yakuza were destroyed, it would be impossible for the brother-led government to support so many of the underprivileged in society, which would be tantamount to destroying the underprivileged in society. But Caesar’s character said that there is no such thing as the yakuza in his future plans, and it doesn't matter if he sacrifices some people's interests. Everything has to make way for his political future.

Finally, the brothers meet under the Over-Sea bridge in Tokyo Bay and duel in the same way they did at the place where they first drew lots and parted ways. In the end, it is the Gangster who shoots through the Politician brother's heart.

Chu and Caesar are acting out the ending of this ski. Caesar is dying when he finally tells the truth. Because he has a terminal illness and can no longer protect Chu Zihang secretly. He fears that after his death his introverted brother will not be able to control so many yakuza gangs, so he sweeps the yakuza with his own iron fist.

"Remember our original agreement to be the number one yakuza emperor of Japan!" The brother's last words, "My brother will be number one in Japan!"

The applause was deafening and the guests were in tears. The play actually was acted very silly. Chu Zihang's mouthful of second-hand Japanese looked like he learned it off Duo Lingo, but the women who came here either loved BasaraKing and Ukyo or both, and those flaws were overlooked.

A sad song started playing as the cherry blossoms fell over the two brothers. It was a popular song, only marginally appropriate, and the gist of it was two people who declare to each other how much they truly mean to each other, only after it was too late.

You didn’t know they were going to put something on like this. It was clearly directed at Chisei. Even though you were the main act, Caesar and Chu Zihang were supporting you and Chime in their own way.

Once the stage was cleared. The lights went up. Caesar hurried backstage. “Hey!” He whispers. “Knock ‘em dead!”

You give him a grin and a thumbs up.

So, I asked @small-fabio-jyana to choose a spirit animal for each rider, here is her answer. She wanted to know my opinion (the ask bite my ass), so here is my aswer

For the rider who had actually ridden this year so far:

Pol Espargaró – I’m tempted to say a wolf just because Pol loves wolves, but cannot picture him biting to hurt people. My final answer is a Siberian Husky, it’s as close as a wolf as he can be.

Brad Binder – cheetah cub. He has one in his leathers. Also, I can picture it as one because he’s learning in the MotoGP class, but he has already developed a killer instinct.

Miguel Oliveira – Fox. They are clever and attack when they feel confident, they can win such as Miguel in the second races in the Red Bull ring.

Iker Lecuona – Kitty probably a Ragdoll. He thinks that he is ferocious specially when he is showing you his paws and fangs, but is just too cute.

Álex Rins – Octopus. They are intelligent, and they modify their bodies so, they could enter on places nobody expects, like Rins in the last races.

Joan Mir -Crow. People don’t usually like them. they are attracted by shiny objects (trophies), and intelligent (they can stab you). I think it fits our crime lord/mastermind.

Valentino Rossi – Whale shark. They are big and friendly, not a threat to humans as Rossi’s chances of winning his 10th world championship

Maverick Viñales – milk snake. They use the same colours as coral snakes to avoid predators (Dangerous colours = don’t eat), but they lack the venom, winning essence.

Franco Morbidelli – Gazelle. They are fast and beautiful as is Franky. Gazelles have survived by running when they find any danger, just like Franky avoiding conflicts.

Fabio Quartararo – Dragonfly. They’re fast and territorial just like Fabio is trying to prove to Mav that he’s the future of Yamaha.

Marc Márquez – White shark. Extremely dangerous, but only when they feel in danger. They don’t interact much with humans.

Álex Márquez – A golden retriever or a Labrador. They ‘re actives and happy. While they are praised, they thrive like Álex with his brother.

Stefan Bradl – Beaver. They’re socials. To construct their home, they need to cut the water flow as does Bradl with the testing to help the riders and solve Honda’s problems.

Cal Crutchlow – Zebrafish. They are very important in research, and they show sometime of memory, they remember thing from time to time, just like Cal. He’s important for Honda, but he only remembers and focus on what he wants.

Takaaki Nakagami – A koi. They’re used as decorative elements, like Honda is having a Japanese rider just to show their roots.

Andrea Dovizioso – Owl. They are associated with wisdom like Dovi. He might not have any world championship under his belt, but he has the wisdom of fighting against the big names, and he’s still considered a challenger for the world championship.

Danilo Petrucci – Sheep. They look soft and display flock behaviours, like Danilo when Ducati asks him to do things.

Jack Miller – Honey badger. They are built to fight, fearless, and tough creatures like Jack Miller fighting to keep a position on track, even though they can be defeated. Some people consider Honey badger cute, I don’t.

Francesco Bagnaia – Flamingo. They ‘re beautiful animals, and we don’t fully understand their behaviour, standing on one leg, just like Pecco and the misogynistic out of the blue comment he did.

Michele Pirro – Dolphin. They are social and live in pods. They also take care of injured individuals, such like Pirro. He’s the one they call when they need a replacement rider.

Tito Rabat – Puffin. At high altitudes they’re not fast, only when the fly above the water. They can also swing. Just like Tito, he’s not very fast in MotoGP, but he had managed to be two-time world championship in Moto2.

Johan Zarco – Hyena. They are considered cowards and know to steal food from other animals. Guess who acted that way?

Aleix Espargaró – Lion. He’s been fighting and fighting. Giving us what he can and more from the bike.

Bradley Smith – Emperor penguin. They live in cold weathers, and they live in colonies, where the key is in the numbers, like Bradley, in cold conditions he’s at his best.

Bonus Point. I couldn’t resist.

Andrea Iannone – Bird-of-paradise. They are beautiful and some of them like to display themselves, kind of like Iannone with his selfies.

Dani Pedrosa – Hummingbird. They’re beautiful and small birds. They contribute to the pollination of flowers. They are more important than we believe.

Jorge Lorenzo –If Mav is a milk snake, Jorge, who is a world championship has to be the coral snake. At the beginning I mistake one from the other, like those two snakes.

Obey Me: Part 9: A Ferocious Battle

Disclaimer: I haven't written in a while so I'm terribly sorry if these turn out horribly written or short.

—

Knock, knock.

The gentle knocks suddenly become more aggressive as each second passes by. The anonymous figure spoke up sharply, screaming almost, "OPEN UP BITCHES!" For someone who just happened to go for a small 'visit', they sure are rude. Their raised voice immediately turned into shouting, "GIVE ME MY CHILD, YOU SHITS!"

The voice appeared to be feminine. She muttered 'fuck it' under her breath and blasted the door open, walking in as if she owned the place. Obviously, someone in the castle heard the loud blast and rushed out of their room to see it. Kauffee.

Kauffee scrambled to the main hall and stopped in his tracks once he saw the witch, standing in front of them like it's so sweet. "Wh-Who the fuck?!" He exclaimed. Ah, great. A witch, here in the House of Lamentation. Could it get any worse? Unfortunately, the answer is yes.

The witch walked in and glared at the human, "Kauffee! Oh, how you've grown!" She said with a sweet smile. There's something off about her. She gives off such a rotten aura that it nearly triggers your gag reflexes.

Kauffee was very uncomfortable but he kept a strained smile to be polite, "Oh, hiiii bitch... how you doin', girl? Uhm, so yeah, did you really need to break in? Also, it's Allyson for you, thanks girllll." The tension between the two only added to the dense atmosphere. He had no clue what the witch was talking about. He wasn't terrified, just weirded out.

The witch was sick and tired of having to deal with this troublesome human and snapped at him, "Oh, shut the fuck up and get your brother. Your brother and sister AND you are leaving with ME."

Kauffee made a face towards her, "Yeaahhh, I don't think so," he was somewhat bored by all of this. He was unamused by the witch's attempts to try and take everything away from his father, Daniel. This was so boring, extremely boring. So boring he might fall asleep.

The witch raised a fist, making a desperate attempt to assert her dominance, "Young man, you BETTER grab your older brother and little sister, RIGHT NOW."

Leviathan yawned as he walked into the main hall, "I thought Kauffee only had one sibling..." he said with a pinch of doubt in his tone.

Kauffee shrugged, "I thought so too but I don't even listen to her anymore, she's kinda crazy. Yeah, anyway, I'm not getting him and what sister you talkin' 'bout, girl?"

The witch grew annoyed by Kauffee's artificial ignorance and began screaming... again, "THE SISTER YOUR DAD JUST HAD IS MINE!"

Daniel raised a skeptical brow, "I ain't had no baby, what the fuck?"

Kauffee rolled his eyes and sighed, "Yeah, she's crazy. I really should have stayed upstairs, this isn't worth any of my time."

The witch screamed, "I KNOW YOU HAVE A GIRL SOMEWHERE!"

Daniel yelled in return, "BITCH, NO!"

The witch's lips curled into a irritated frown as she spoke with cold, condescending words, "Then you're pregnant with one because my spells never lie. THAT WOULD BE MY CHILD THEN!" What? What was she on about? Just like Kauffee stated, she's probably insane.

Kauffee had his nonexistent popcorn in his lap, chewing away at his fictional popcorn. Now, things were getting interesting. However, this is only a mere appetizer. Things were just getting started. He knew this heated argument was going to escalate into something even more powerful than just a simple disagreement.

Daniel was still baffled over what he was currently hearing but he decides to move past it, "How in the fuck... MAMMON, I HAVE SOME NEWS!"

Though, Mammon was still in his private, little thinking bubble, he replied, "Huh?" Shortly after, he zones back in after his brain takes a moment to register his surroundings, "What?"

Daniel awkwardly gestured towards his stomach, "Congratulations, my stalker ex used a spell, you got me pregnant, and now this lunatic thinks its belongs to her," he said with a irritated groan.

Mammon had too much to think about and comprehend, his brain still hasn't finished loading so he doesn't understand at all what's happening.

Kauffee nodded, clasping his hands together, "Oh, so I DO have a sister now, that makes much more sense," he was happy for the endearing couple, completely ignoring the fact that there was still a furious witch in the House of Lamentation.

All of a sudden, Daniel became tired and sighed. He muttered, "I hate labor..."

The witch smirked and grabbed Daniel's stomach, "So, it's mine! You don't want it, so its mine!" She seemed way too confident over this wild claim she made.

Daniel slapped her. Hard. He glared at her, "Touch me again and your uterus won't be the only thing I cut out. I'll gut you like a fish," he growled.

Mammon's instincts kicked in, causing him to fully have a grasp on the entire situation. He slipped in between Daniel and the witch (who is also a bitch), grabbing her by the neck, "Touch him again, I DARE you."

Kauffee conveniently pulled a knife out of his stockings, prepared to defend himself. He wasn't messing around. He was ready.

Leviathan blinked, "Was that the thing that kept poking me?"

Daniel glared, crossing his arms, "Fucking bitch."

The witch coughed, managing to sputter out a full sentence, "It's my baby! Sure, we haven't dated in months, but I KNOW IT'S MY BABY!"

Daniel scoffed, "You're infertile and I've had my period 4 times after I left you."

Kauffee shrugged, "I'm not running around here without a knife, and yeah, it was, Levi. How does crazy does she have to be?"

"Let's see how long I have to choke you for until you can't talk such smack anymore," he growled, deepening the pressure of his fingers against her neck. Before he even realized it, he was in his demon form, with small sparks of fire shooting out of his eyes.

The witch glared and coughed, then blasted Mammon with a fire spell. She smiles as she watches Mammon struggling to keep her in submission. She was confident she was going to win, without a doubt. Then, she will get her baby!

Mammon was almost burned to a crisp. He groaned, but, he could not care less. The audacity of this witch made his blood boil. He was filled with rage. He was like a wild tiger, forcefully pinning her to the wall. He was being so rough with his pinning that the wall nearly crumbled. He didn't want to kill her, he was avoiding pushing her into the brink of death. All he wanted was to weaken her. He suffocated her as hard he could.

The witch coughed and grunted, raising a hand. A circle appeared before Mammon was forcibly pushed away by a great wind. She continued to keep her hand in the air as she collapsed on the ground. She burst out in maniacal laughter, "Holy cage!" She shouted while lights emerged from the floor, trapping Mammon in a cage, made of pure holy light. "Filthy creature... you don't get to touch me.. I am stronger than you'll ever be..."

Daniel ran forward and placed his hands on the bars. He flinches and immediately pulled away. The bars seemed to have burned his palms. He yelled out in pain, "Fuck!" He glared at the woman, then stopped at a certain spot on the ground. He dragged his heel against the ground, making a perfect, magical circle of light. He incoherently whispered to himself and summoned a large, Golem creature with red eyes. He was made from his exact environment. The creature unleashed a loud roar which shook the ground.

The witch raised a hand and blasted the large, fearsome Golem with fire. She watches as the flames consume the monster as it ran forward at Danny. She laughed, holding the ashes that belong to the Golem before making her hands collide, mashing them together. She giggles manically as lightning rose from her finger tips, "I am too strong and disciplined, Daniel. You have NEVER taken any other class other than basic meditation. All of your spells are just the basics CHILDREN learn!"

In the midst of panic, Mammon grasped the bars of the cage he was concealed in. That was a rather stupid move to make. Of course, he immediately flinched and let out an agonizing groan. The only thing he could do was helplessly watch the fight. He was terrified. He was worried about his human. What if he gets hurt? He felt so.. so.. stupid! He was incapable of doing anything to save his beloved!

Daniel glared and sighed as he bitch slapped a fireball that was headed towards him, his hand left spotless, "Let him go..." He was so fed up with her bullshit. He wanted to end this, once and for all.

The witch flinches in surprise, her eyes widened. She brushes off her astonishment and forces her hand forward, casting another bolt of lightning upon Danny.

Danny, once again, being the badass father he was, smacked the flash of lightning out of his way. In less than a second, the bolt of lightning fell to the ground and suddenly became a beautiful pile of golden roses... or rather, roses made precisely out of gold.

Danny took a step forward, continuing to glare at the poor excuse of a witch. The witch stepped back and tried to blast him again. But, instead, her blast was... deflected? Wait, her own spell transformed into something else before her very eyes. A river of man eating pirannhas? Hm, no, try a soothing stream that only contained of koi. Oh, another blast of lightning? How about a shimmer bouquet of flowers made out of gold? Fire? An adorable yet gorgeous, orange bird. A skeleton wielding a sword made out of a magical, spiteful energy? What about a simple, marble statue with golden streaks?

The witch only glared while panting and panting. She was clearly running out of magic. Daniel, however, has an infinite amount of energy. It's time to end this for good.

Mammon doesn't even know what he was doing anymore. He had nothing else to do except spectate the fight... and maybe punch the bars. Yes, that's what this moron was doing. He was punching the bars.

As Daniel continued to glare at the weakened witch, the bars began to fizzle and grew weaker and weaker by the minute. Ah, so that's what he was doing. He was running the witch's energy dry so that she wouldn't be able to keep up with him anymore. She would be too weak, thus, weakening the power of the cage.

Mammon's lips curled into a devilish smirk. He kept on going and going, punching the bars with all his might. He could sense the bars slowly cracking with each solid punch.

The cage shattered like glass as Daniel blasted the witch. This chaos was finally about to end permanently.

Mammon has already reached his breaking point. He pushed himself into the air and let himself fall forward, flying towards the witch at an unbelievable speed. His speed wasn't any different to the bullet of a gun. He gathered up the right amount of speed and then... gave her one good punch to the face — it caused her stiffened body to fall to the floor with a thud.

Mammon stood in front of the fallen witch's body with a malevolent smile on his face. He seemed so powerful. Well, that's not much of a surprise. After all, he IS the Great Mammon. His eyes, which were once a gradient pool of blue and yellow, was now filled with a burning rage that stood inside him.

. . .

It was over...

How about 3 for the whump prompt 😊 although characters are up to you.

Prompt: ‘Give me one good reason I shouldn’t splatter your brains on the floor.’ Well...as I’ve been Birds of Prey lately, I fell down the Zsaszmask (Victor Zsasz x Roman Sionis) hole and wrote a fic about their first encounter. I just love those two bastards! I hope you like it :)

Gotham’s Truths

Victor Zsasz always thought a first meeting says a lot about how a relationship is supposed to develop in the future. That firm belief turned out to be quite untrue when it comes to one Roman Sionis.

But then what does was Victor know? Most people would argue their first and last meeting with the infamous killer coincides.

That’s not to say those people wouldn’t leave a lasting impression - quite the contrary. But to leave an impression that isn’t quite as obvious, well, that honor had been up to Gotham’s newest candidate for the crown of the underbelly.

But we’ll start at the beginning, kay?

Motherfuckin fuckwit of a peacock, Victor thinks when first laying his eyes on the man currently dangling from the ceiling in some very private basement.

He spits on the floor, visibly disappointed by today’s task, and cracks his knuckles. This will be over embarrassingly soon. One good look at Sionis, the Black Mask, as he loves to call himself, has told him everything he needs to know.

The wanker is just pathetic! Who the fuck wears fuckin pastels? To a shoot-out of all things? An attempt to take down Sofia Gigante is not the fuckin Oscars. And if it were, Sionis would have earned himself a Razzy.

But then Zsasz didn’t expect much from him in the first place. The pathetic lil shit will break down within seconds, of that he’s certain. Stupid, boarding-school wimp, that one is. He’s probably lost the moment he enters a room without a drink to hold onto.

He spits out again, this time in disgust, and goes to work. Gigante wants Sionis to get sliced into tiny pieces and fed to her genetically modified koi-carps. No problemo!

Victor starts setting out his tools one by one. The hammer comes first. It’s decorated with one or two dried blood-stains.

He hates the blood, though. Personally, he prefers a clean, hygienic approach to work, yet his boss insists on some crude intimidation-techniques. Oh well, employee-protection isn’t something anyone gives much thought to in Gotham. The pincers are next, followed by a shiny, new set of scalpels.

The other man is meanwhile still dangling from the ceiling, looking at Victor’s devices. At this point, the assassin expects something like a horrified gasp, maybe an occasional cry of ‘you don’t have to do this’, or - at least - a sob.

What he gets, though, is a high-pitched whine. “Boooooooring”, Roman cries out, sounding like an annoyed little bitch about to find out her favorite lipstick is outta stock.

Now, that’s not an unheard-of approach, however, definitely a more unique one.

Turning around, Victor gives Roman a seemingly uninterested once-over. The other man rolls his eyes, and wiggling his upper body, he starts swinging as if he was on a playground.

The bastard even has the audacity to yawn.

Grinning ferociously, Victor decides he wants the smugness gone from the other one’s face. He raises his hammer, aims for the face, and finally elicits the cry he hoped for - unless in a decidedly different context.

Roman swings swiftly outta the way, furiously screaming, ‘not my face, not my face’ like that one hysterical chick who walked in on Victor while delivering a message to her now late husband.

“That face is worth more than all your ugly-ass teeth combined,” the man screeches, sounding every bit like an enraged banshee. “If I’m about to get murdered with a fuckin household-appliance, at least make sure that fuckin thing from the dollar store doesn’t come near my face.”

Roman glares down at Victor from below, which is in itself an achievement, not showing the slightest bit of fear, and yelling out orders. It’s so absurd the killer has to laugh. And not just that bemused bark he sometimes coughs out, no, an honest to God, pure, heartfelt roar that whips through his entire body.

Tilting his head to the side, he decides he’ll indulge his victim and see what else it has to offer. Tossing the hammer aside, he picks up the scalpel. Roman only rolls his eyes at him.

“What you gonna do?” he challenges. “Carve some patterns into my skin? Ask me some questions? Wait for me to cry and beg? Pah!”

“Well, that’s how those things usually work,” Victor confirms sensibly. He bends down until he’s at eye level with his prey, checking for those sweet, sweet signs of distress. Inhaling, he expects to smell that sour, musky scent of sweat that always indicates the beginning of his fun.

He smells nothing but a hint of chrysanthemum and vervain. Not that Victor knows that very moment what exactly he smells. He only knows it smells good.

He takes a better look at that skin the other man is so obviously very fond of, takes in the line of a strong jaw-line, pliant lips, fine lines from smiling too often around his eyes, and decides that, yes, that face is indeed a wonderful canvas. Too bad there won’t be much left of it once he’s done.

Under different circumstances, he’d probably fuck the guy first and kill him later - but this is about business, not his personal pleasure.

Roman, stop calling him Roman, Victor chides, tries suppressing a wheeze. Ah yes, he almost forgot, his ribs are already broken. The other man bares his teeth, pulls a grimace that somewhat resembles a grin, yet Victor knows the signs - he’s merely trying to mask his pain.

Grabbing his chin, he turns the man, forces him to study him as well. Roman scoffs. “Pathetic,” is his verdict. “Look what you’ve become,” he grumbles.

“And that would be?” Victor snaps back before he can stop himself.

“You used to be an artist!” Roman exclaims so violently the chains holding him up, start to rattle precariously. “The Da Vinci of murder you used to be! A Salvador Dali with a knife, and now? All you come up with is dangling me from the ceiling and showing me this crap.”

Victor snarls, gives him a good shove in return, and turns back to his tools.

“Hey, how does it feel to live your life like a chained pit bull?” Roman howls instead. “Every day you get up, torture a bit, but where’s the passion? The spark? The creativity?” Victor is sure if he could, he’d gesticulate wildly.

“Trust me, creativity will be the last thing on your mind once I’m done with you,” he snaps back.

Roman clicks his tongue, yet refuses to acknowledge that statement. “When was the last time you truly had fun?” he asks instead, managing to look smug even in his predicament. “When was the last time someone really let you loose, mm?”

Arching an eyebrow at his captive, Victor licks his lips. What a shame, truly, he thinks. He should have been given a chance to bang that vocal, little slut before cutting his throat.

Roman smirks knowingly, and for a moment, Victor is baffled.

“You said that out loud,” he sing-songs, as a strand of his hair loosens, elegantly framing his face. “Look,” he continues, still grinning knowingly. “I have an offer for you - you can either work for me, or kill me off and file for unemployment in about….” Roman wiggles his head from side to side, seemingly counting, when a loud bang jolts through the basement.

“Well, I guess now,” he finishes, unfazed.

Tilting his head, Victor considers the offer. It sounds suspiciously like Gigante is no more, and besides, he has never been especially good all on his own, without anyone to point him in the right direction. On the other hand, it’s been a long time since he enjoyed true freedom.

But then he hasn’t met anyone who has the ability to humor him in an even longer time.

Nodding to himself, Victor makes a decision.

Yet before he can touch the chain, Roman stops him. “One thing though,” he declares sternly. “I demand absolute loyalty.”

Victor sighs and pushes a button, releasing him. If there’s even one thing he’s better at than killing people, it’s serving people.

Roman jumps to his feet almost immediately. “Eww,” he says. Wrinkling his nose in disgust as he wipes some grime from his suit before slapping Victor’s face with his palm outstretched, like a little girl. It stings viciously, though.

Surprised, Victor looks up.

“No more ruining my suits,” Romans orders angrily. “And now,” he continues, putting his arm around Victor’s shoulders as if they’d been friends forever. “Do you know how to make shrinking heads?”

Baffled, the assassin follows his new boss out of the basement, slowly realizing this had been the first and last time he had the upper hand in his relationship with Roman Sionis.

Nobody in Gotham dares to tell him that is untrue, though.

But then it’s Gotham - and she has her own truths.
