Web Thinking: Magnolia comes to mind whenever the phrase 'My Eyes' appears in conversation, literature, the errant thought.

[desultory-novice]

hi dess! probably the wrong person to ask but it's just to immensely confuddling... is there a solid lore explanation for how sectonia turned into a bee? i wanted to write a body horror thing for her but i wanted it to be lore accurate and it's just all so convoluted !

Wrong person or not, it is impeccable timing! Both because of Triple Deluxe's 10th Anniversary (in Japan time) and the fact that I've been intensely studying those scenes for my own anniversary piece! Which is, err, running late.

Here is what we can garner about Sectonia's transformation abilities based on the available information + insights the game gives us.

[Pause Screen Lore]

VS Sectonia Vine

"Sectonia's family(1) have parasitized, taken possession of, and controlled countless lifeforms."

1) This word is often translated as "clan" as in a large gathering of members who are not necessarily family but belong to a specific unified group. IE, this could mean anything from "she and her direct family members have this ability" to "all spiders within a certain classification have this ability" to "all spiders have this ability".

I sometimes HC that possession is something all female spiders possess, because I like to imagine her people being a Queendom and that'd be a good reason for it, and also because of The Dark Crystal's "Wings? I don't have wings." "Of course not. You're a boy." (Which just feels so Taranza + Sectonia coded to me)

(I say "sometimes" because I'm also very fond of trans-girl Sectonia HC.)

VS Queen Sectonia (2)

"Sectonia, beautiful and menacing in form. She has [placed herself] inside the world tree..."

VS Sectonia Soul (2)

"I have parasitized and changed bodies so many times, I can no longer recall...which of them was my original self..."

(This pause screen lore is written from Sectonia's POV.)

So, yes, Joronia/Sectonia is a parasite.

She attaches to something and makes it part of her body/swaps bodies with it. If we look at the difference between her queen-form and her flowered-form, we understand a few things about this process: she takes her current body, as well as the body of another living organism and fuse them together. IE: 1 + 1 = 1

She retains some visual aspects of her previous body after a "switch" (she still has the bee head, collar, and wings, for example) and gains the greater (?) amount of traits from the new body.

This would mean that after her first swap, she probably still looked a little like "Joronia." (Something like a messed up version of those matching toys where you have to align the head, torso, and legs.)

What this also means is that in order to look like "Queen Sectonia" who is so completely different from what Taranza and Joronia look like, she would have had to swap bodies a lot. (Not to mention, she is BIG. It is possible her last body-swap wasn't even to a bee/wasp but something large she absorbed to gain the qualities of its size! Or maybe she stole something large for the size and then stole something with a super thin waist to get that hourglass figure XD)

Planet Robobot's Clone Sectonia lore tells us that "countless species" were found in the Dream Stalk's DNA "stretching over 1,000 years" so this does indeed seem to confirm she did this a frightening amount of times over a long period of time.

It's safe to say you will probably find no one creature in the Kirby-verse that looks similar to Queen Sectonia, as her body was custom crafted with parts from countless critters.

We also get a few visual insights into how parasitization looks...

...Upon her initial defeat, she begins giving off a massive amount of glitter/sparkles/insect scales. 

This visual is interesting as, if she was already reaching for a new body after her defeat, it is possible this is the first part of the process. Shedding her initial body. If not, this could either be a sign of her current body failing/dying or her parasitic control over it weakening.

She raises up, does some hand movements, lets out a wave of magic and begins to glow brightly. When we check back in on her, she has expelled her wings (she has them back in flower form but they DO appear slightly different. More petal-like and droopy. See above.) and wriggling tentacles appear from behind her...

You can debate that these are the Dream Stalk's vines wrapping around her, but they don't seem to behave the same way. (They don't have leaves either, which the vines do.) Thus, I think these are "appendages" that specifically appear as part of Sectonia/Joronia's transformation process. If you think about the way insects emerge from their cocoons, I can imagine these as tendrils as coming out from a "split/crack" that slowly forms in her back...

There's a LOT of light and time and struggle involved in the process but this could be just because the Dream Stalk was such a large and powerful target, being rooted into Popstar itself. If she's done this hundreds or thousands of times before, it is possible there is a shorter version of this for things she already overpowers.

...Though, the grimdark part of my brain imagines things like Taranza using his magic to hold one of her struggling targets down while she enwraps it with her horrible parasite tendrils. If Dess hasn't said this before, I'm less interested in soft, sad boy Taranza and much more interested in "1/2 of a gleeful villain couple" Taranza, who is so captivated by his beloved, he happily joins her in all sorts of horrendous things - leading military invasions in her name, assassinations, putting down rebellions, capturing new victims for her, all things he IS implied to do in game through Dedede -  only turning a blind eye to it because he believes in and is infatuated with her and thus, this must be the right thing to do. Right...?

-

In summary, what we can glean is all pretty bad. Sectonia doesn't even "swap" bodies because the bodies she absorb all get used up and can be said to be "dead" from the moment she inhabits them. Though you can even argue this, as, once she is defeated, the Dream Stalk seems to regain its individuality after her absorption. If you're re~ally into horror, you could take this to mean that some aspect of her victims consciousness is carried on from body to body...!!!!

Also, swapping from body to body appears to be more of a melding process anyway, which could also be pretty darn horrible, depending upon how much control you think she has over which traits she inherits from her victims. If it's entirely her choice, it's simply a matter of how many bodies until she's found the traits she believes "perfects" her ultimate vision of herself - plus how many times she changes her mind. If it's NOT then she's probably gone through an insane amount of swaps/victims, discontented at the results and insisting on trying again and again until it turns out "right."

And there you have it! Joronia's transformation into Sectonia is both deeply pitiful and deeply, deeply frightening!

Love at First Bite pt. 2💞

David/Female!OC & Male!OC/Female!OC

Summary: Sis can't stop thinking about the adorable redheaded waiter that treated her like the queen she is. Once she and the pack get to know him a little better, he'll see them for what they truly are~

This was inspired by @ghoulgeousimmaculate and her characters from the series Party the Pain Away and the various fics that take place afterwards. Ghoulie and I discussed the possibility of having another boy join the coven after so many girls were brought in. Please read part 1 if you haven't yet!

WARNINGS: Fic contains mentions of fear, emotional manipulation, power dynamics, toxic relationship dynamics, PDA, mentions of blood/murder, sex and alcohol. This has references to Ghoulie's stuff, and takes place in the modern world, not 1987. Part 3 HERE

"You're serious?" 

"Absolutely! You should have seen him, hun. He was the cutest thing I've ever laid eyes on"

It gave Gem quite a surprise to see her sister bride in such a cheery mood. After the last few difficult months for the pack, she had been worried about Sis and her psyche facing permanent damage. Becoming a vampire came with its own mental and physical tolls. What Cyrus had put them all through was an entirely new level of suffering.

And yet, here she was. All doe-eyed and sappy like a schoolgirl with a crush. The happiest she had been since her resurrection. Usually only being with her babies made Sis act like herself again. This human boy had to be pretty special.

"And you don't want to bring him over for a fuck and a meal?"

"Surprisingly, I don't. At least….not right now," Sis explained. She smiled to herself as she fell back onto the couch, putting her feet up on Gem's lap to relax. "I dunno, he was just such a sweet guy. Genuine, polite, doting. You don't see many boys like that anymore." 

Gem smirked, rubbing her queen's legs as she listened to the story. Seeing her in such a good mood had Gem feel quite pleased as well. It made her quite curious as to what potential could be in a human. 

"Well, we are due for a girl's night out. How about we ask the boys to watch the babies and then you, me, Babydoll and Red go out for some fun," Gem proposed. "You can introduce us to the human."

The mere idea made Sis' eyes sparkle in delight. She was already excited to pick out her outfit for such a special occasion. Something truly special for a well-deserved night of fun.

Oliver's shift honestly could have been better that night. He was out of the zone. Forgetting to put in a large order, giving three different tables the wrong drinks, and getting yelled at by an elderly couple for having the audacity to forget their senior discount. He felt so clumsy and careless. It was rather embarrassing. 

What didn't help was that his coworkers were noticing. They had been in the game long enough to recognize when one of their fellow servers was having a rough night. 

"Hey Ollie!" one server greeted him, making small talk while punching in an order. "You feeling alright? Need a smoke break?"

"No thank you, I don't smoke," Oliver explained as he tried to organize a messy stack of menus. "And I'm fine. I just…my mind hasn't been where I want it to be lately. I'm not usually like this, I swear."

The server smiled and gave Oliver a friendly pat on the back. He definitely had nights like that too. 

"Something on your mind?"

"Well….someone actually."

Oliver knew exactly what was making him trip over himself and act like his head was in the clouds. 

Sis. He could not stop thinking about her. Though he was grateful for her generosity when she paid him a large enough tip to pay his rent that month, that wasn't at all the reason he had such a deep infatuation. 

She had this magic to her. Like an aura of true beauty. Though her curves and her flawless looks definitely showed how stunning she was on the outside, Oliver had a deep feeling that there was something truly remarkable about her on the inside too. 

Growing up, he was taught that you could learn a lot about a person just by how they treated a stranger. Especially if that stranger was a poor, struggling service worker. The world wasn't always kind to people who had a difficult life. 

He didn't know what it was about her, but he just had a feeling she understood him. That she knew compassion could go a long way.

"Well, Romeo, you might wanna get your head back in the game," the server interrupted his thoughts. "You got company."

"Salve signore! Right this way!"

Giuseppe had welcomed a group of ladies into the restaurant, ushering them to the back area just as he did the other night for David and Sis. 

And speaking of which. The lady at the head of the pack was a familiar one. It was her. 

Sis.

Once again she was all glammed up from head to toe, though instead of being out on a date with her husband, she seemed to be enjoying a girls' night out. The three other ladies that walked past the curtain were all quite stunning in their own ways, but he couldn’t take his eye off of Sis. 

His staring must not have been as subtle as he hoped it would be, because while the other girls made their way to the back, Sis stopped in her tracks, glancing his way. Oliver stood as still as a statue, not sure exactly what to do in terms of movement. 

Thankfully, he didn't have to stay like that for very long. To his utter joy, a smile formed across her beautiful face, showing off her perfect pearly whites. Sis crooked her finger, beckoning him in a come hither motion before disappearing behind the dark curtain. To say she enchanted Oliver was quite an understatement. 

Instead of standing around, Oliver hustled to get enough silverware and menus for four ladies. He'd never been more eager to work in his life. 

"Hello again~" Sis greeted Oliver with a purr as he entered the private area. "I was hoping you'd be here again tonight."

"Oh? You were?" Oliver asked, feeling his heartbeat ramp up in speed. "Well, I'm really glad to see you again too, Miss!"

The gaggle of ladies all shared a round of playful giggling, like schoolgirls with a secret. 

"Awww! You weren't kidding! He's a total sweetie pie!" a fellow redhead chirped. 

"So you're the famous Oliver," a brunette with green eyes commented. "Sis has told us so much about you!"

Oliver would be lying if he said he wasn't flattered by that. His stomach was practically doing backflips with the amount of butterflies he was feeling. He wasn't used to such compliments. 

"O-Oh! Well, I'm very honored," he smiled. "It's really nice to meet you all!"

His words trailed off after his greeting. He wasn't sure how to get the right words out in order to ask for their names as well, but they all seemed to get the hint as to what he wanted to say.

"Gem."

"Red."

"Babydoll!"

They all have such different names. Very….creative, Oliver thought to himself. It must be a California thing!

He finally felt comfortable enough to perform his job properly once the introductions were done. As per Sis' request, he brought back the same brand of Chardonnay he got her the last time she was there. This time, he was determined not to spill any on their gorgeous outfits. When each glass was equally filled, the girls all clinked their drinks to share a toast. 

Oliver put in the same energy when he took their orders. Each lady knew exactly what they wanted, and they cooed at him to hurry back since they'd miss him. It put quite a dopey smile on his boyish face. 

Little did he know that his coworkers were watching him with a look of dread in the corners of the restaurant. They all knew the secrets that Sis and her lovers shared. Oliver wasn't ready to see the deadlier side of the brown-eyed beauty. 

"You really are too good to us, Ollie," Sis complimented the redhead boy when he set all their entrees down. Even with a table completely covered in the finest Italian cuisine imaginable, she kept her gaze fully locked on him. 

Almost like he was the one she found to be the most delicious. 

"It's nothing, really! I'm just happy to make up for my wine snafu from last time." 

"Speaking of wine," Gem spoke up, taking Sis' chin in between her manicured figures and tilting them in her own direction. "I wanna see if I can taste the Chardonnay on your lips, hun~"

Oliver only got to ponder what she meant for a mere second before getting a shocking answer. Gem pulled her into a deep kiss, moaning softly as both pairs of plush lips pressed together. Without much influence, Sis immediately melted into it, smiling and wrapping her arms around her lady friend. 

His green eyes were practically bulging out of his head as the two of them began passionately making out just a mere foot in front of him. Oliver turned towards Red and Babydoll to see if they were just as surprised, but found instead they were looking at him as if he were the odd one. They raised their eyebrows up at him, curious at his gawking. 

Perhaps it wasn’t the right time to stick around and just stare with an open mouth like a codfish.

“Y-You ladies enjoy! I’ll be back later!”

Oliver practically kicked up dust behind him from how fast he got out of the private dining section. He had already seen Sis get rather intimate in the restaurant already. But he hadn’t expected to see it between her and someone other than her husband. 

Flashbacks of the last time when she made flirty gestures at him while literally riding David were coming back to him. He didn’t understand the behavior fully, but what he was absolutely certain about was how stunning she was. So confident, so beautiful, always knowing exactly what she wanted, yet still showing gratitude when she got it. 

It made him ever so curious about whether he truly had a chance with a woman like that. Compared to people like David and Gem? Fat chance, he thought to himself. 

Time passed by, and the night was finally winding down. Oliver and his coworkers had split their tips, cleaned up the restaurant, and helped set up for what they needed the next day. In between his tasks, he had stopped in to check on Sis and her friends. They had long since cleared their plates and finished the last sips in their glasses. Yet they seemed to want to stay a bit longer and enjoy some girl time.

So long as it was okay with Giuseppe, Oliver let them be. 

By the time everyone else had clocked out and left, he popped his head in one last time to check on them. To his surprise, the three beauties that had come along for the night had already made their leave at some point earlier while he was cleaning up. The one that remained was Sis, sitting pretty in the booth with her fingers intertwined, allowing her chin a place to rest. 

She was smiling at him again, a twinkle in her eye as she gestured to the chair placed across from her.

“Care to help me finish off this bottle?” she asked. There wasn’t much left in the second bottle of Chardonnay he had delivered earlier that night, but it was just enough for the two of them to have a little taste. Half a drink wouldn’t kill him. 

“Where are the others?” he casually asked as he sat down.

“Oh, they’re outside. Just having a smoke and texting the hubbies.”

Hearing her say that reminded Oliver of David once again. He really wasn’t one to pry, but the curiosity to ask about what kind of relationship Sis had with them all was still there. He would have kept his mouth shut about it if she hadn’t seemed to read his mind on her own. 

She pulled her phone out from her purse, maneuvering around the screen until she found what she wanted. Flipping the device around, Sis showed him some pictures of her with various people. Some he recognized, some were unfamiliar faces.

“In case you were wondering, I’m polyamorous. We all are,” she explained. “You’ve met David already. Those three boys are my other husbands. Marko, Dwayne and Paul.”

I didn’t even know you could be married to multiple people in California, Oliver thought to himself. In the first picture, four incredibly handsome men surrounded Sis. Being pansexual himself, Oliver found himself practically swooning at how perfect-looking they all were. As much as he wished to look as hunky as them, he couldn’t blame her for finding all of them attractive. 

“They have their own partners too. Some of which I get to date too,” she said, swiping at the screen to show more pictures. 

Babydoll being carried by Dwayne, a pregnant Red being held from the back by Marko, Gem and Paul flashing peace signs at the camera, and many more. So many other beautiful ladies were in the arms of these men. It was as if fate had brought the most attractive people in the world together. 

“So the other night when you said your ‘girlfriends’, you weren’t just talking about besties, huh?” Oliver playfully commented. To his delight, Sis giggled at him, thoroughly amused. He loved the sound of her laugh. It was as beautiful as her.

“That’s right! And we all have our own families too,” she explained. She pointed out the various babies that various couples had together. Oliver’s heart was melting at the pictures of chubby-cheeked infants with gummy smiles. 

One of the final pictures that Sis showed off was a family portrait with her, David, and three little ones. He listened with deep focus as she told the story of her family. 

“Laddie is the oldest. I adopted him with Dwayne way back when. He’s also the best big brother to all the others,” she cooed. “The little girl is Eva. My angel on Earth. Her name was inspired by my mother. And that’s Evan. Little mama’s boy in the making, that one.”

“You have a beautiful family, Sis,” Oliver complimented her as he handed back the phone. “I can just tell you’ve got a lot of love for those babies.”

Sis sighed in content, taking a swig of her wine. 

“I really do. I don’t know what I’d do without them….” 

Though talking about her children seemed to bring her great joy, Oliver couldn’t help but notice there was a lingering sadness in her eyes when she pondered the possibility of life without them. As if that very thing almost happened. 

Oliver smiled sympathetically, allowing her to see that he genuinely cared about what she was going through.

“Well….if you ever want to talk about them or anything else on your mind, I’m a good listener! Honest!”

“Thank you, Oliver,” Sis said. She reached out her hand, taking hold of his and giving it a soft squeeze. “You have no idea how much that means to me.”

While puffing away on their cigarettes, the three girls kept their eyes peeled for anyone that would possibly cause trouble. The vampires were always on their highest guard whenever they were out with the queen. Ever since the gruesome night of the beheading, they couldn’t risk being too careful.

There was always someone out there wanting to dethrone the vampire king and queen of Santa Carla. They would be damned if they’d let such a thing happen again. 

Sis never wanted to leave the cave alone. She wanted a minimum of two mates by her side, one to watch her front, and one to watch her back. The mere idea of dying again put the fear of God in her. She wasn’t ready to go, especially when her babies needed her to get by in this cruel, cold world. 

But something was different. New. There was a sense of hope for her now. Someone kind and gentle and ready to care for her every need. The girls saw quite a lot of potential in Oliver. He was a soft boy and a bit too innocent for the life of a vampire, but he made Sis feel safe again. Like she could live her undead life to the fullest. 

But it was up to the king about what they would do next.

“So, she really does like him, huh?” David asked, sharing a video call with the three brides. 

“She must since she’s been the calmest I’ve ever seen since….you know,” Gem explained. 

David tilted his head in wonder as he thought things over. For years now, he and his brothers had collected quite a few brides to have and to hold until the end of time. Each one shaped to their liking and trained to not run away. They all embraced their vampire nature and were loyal as could be.

He hadn’t considered the possibility of adding a groom for the queen. 

“I need more time,” he said. “I still hold a lot of pain from what Michael did to me. To our family. Keep an eye on Oliver for me. I’ll stop by during some dates or send one of the boys along. Really make sure he’s right for Sis.”

“You got it,” Red chirped.

“What happens if he gets your approval?” Babydoll asked.

David’s lips pulled back, a devilish smirk stuck on his handsome face. The gears were already turning quite a bit in his evil head.

“Then we bring him home for training. The little wife needs a pet after all~”

SHAMELESS OPINIONS: S6 (cause Mickey's write off hurt and after s5, I watched again from s1 and forced myself to keep watching + no one around me likes Shameless so I need a place to vent)

overall: it's a meh season with strong plotlines

The F Word is SUCH a bop, my boy Gus ate. Sorry Fi, I really like you, but boo, you had it coming.

I get the whole controversy with Sean, trust me I do, but I enjoyed the dramatics of the relationship. He was way too hypocritical tho, the scene with the gun, as scary as it was, rubbed me the wrong way. I wouldn't blame Fiona or Carl for that. As someone raised in a house full of guns, I was taught to never ever go near one. Curiosity killed the cat with Will and he was obviously scared, but Sean my boy, no. I felt Sean sort of blended well with the family, understood dysfunction all too well so that's probably why, but at the end of the day, it was a scabbing wound.

The wedding scene, Fuck Frank, ik he helped Fiona dodge a bullet, but at the end of the day, it was never really about Fiona, it was about his damn ego as always. The whole situation was shitty for everyone and I felt for her, really. The bridge scene was dope as hell. Bravo. Cinematic.

With the Debbie v Fiona, I was honestly on Fiona's side most of the time. A decision like this, in their way of living, oof, and Fiona made it clear she wasn't gonna be in charge of another kid. Harsh, but... I wouldn't do it either. But the reality is, Debbie has always been around kids, and very clearly wanted to be a mother, as early as s1. It's just... timing wasn't right. But to tackle a teen to the ground??? Wtf. A grown ass woman. Girl. No.

Oh Lip... his lip ain't doing good. As fucked as the whole Helene thing was, no relationship has ever made more sense to me than that one (for all the wrong reasons) Mommy issues as bright as day right there. And the fact that he couldn't recognize that and saw it as a normal college Tuesday makes me pity him. People don't agree with the relationship, and they're right, they shouldn't, but not because it's a bad storyline. It should make you feel uncomfortable because it is, but that's something that sooner or later, was bound to happen with him. That scene where he walks to the bar and yaps like Frank does with a beer in his hand, and everyone in disbelief... oof...

EMT IAN. NEED I SPEAK??? My baby... Those first episodes were so hard for him... Fucking Lip being insensitive at times... FUCK Ian makes me cry. Him standing his ground to get the job back, oh lord. There's a deleted scene that should've stayed but oh well. Anyway. I love him.

Don't even get me started on Gallavich. The scene with Lana on patsies cuts me. That prison scene breaks me without fail every time. I can't. I just couldn't envision, if things really went without having to call back Noel for ratings and views in s7, that the prison scene would be -it- for them... His leave was horribly handled too... but alas...

Caleb??? I have much to say about him in s7, but he... isn't half bad here... Don't love him, but he's alright. Motivated our ginger boy to get a job that gave him purpose, gave him soft smooches and little lunches, and taught him to receive softness. I love those things but not because it comes from him, more so because Ian deserves those gestures. The HIV conversation was handled well I think??? Don't have any particular complains... yet

Frank's storyline at the start of the season interested me, with the cancer lady and whatnot, not a fan of indulging Debbie into grooming, but it's Frank, and Frank is a fucking pos, but as soon as Queenie comes along I got so fucking BORED. Just not my cup of tea, the whole organic storyline put me to sleep. Kind of wish Debbie wasn't involved cause I think her pregnancy journey had more potential than ending up with Queenie. Idk that whole thing was just boring for me.

White boy Carl... eh, it is what it is, seemed in character enough ig, everyone expected part of this future to head that way so, yeah. Nick... so many mixed feelings like everyone else. I just feel for him man, that situation was horrendous. That, along with 3x666 are the only two scenes where I can't like... they're hard to stomach, for obvious reasons ik, but yeah. That was tough. I feel like it was fun to see Carl with his shenanigans, somewhat cringe but I can't pinpoint if it's because of E's performance or shitty writing.

Mandy and Ian's moment, holy fuck. That made me tear up. Mandy my beloved... I hope you're doing well.

SVETLANA RISE.

Collar x Malice: Full Review

Console: Nintendo Switch

Total Play Time: 60 hours

Lorah Game Rating: 9.5/10

--------

I finally did it; I stuck with one single otome game, and finished it up!

Although CxM is my first blog post, I am not new to otome. I like to think I have a fair bit of experience to chalk up a decent review about these games, so this is my go at it!

SYNOPSIS: Collar x Malice takes place in a quarantined Shinjuku, Japan, where citizens live in fear of Adonis, a criminal organization that believes it will revitalize Japan with its own warped sense of justice and judgement. The story begins when Ichika Hoshino, a rookie cop, is attacked and has a poisonous collar placed around her neck by Adonis, who declare they are testing her as they believe she has potential to be one of their sympathizers. Ichika must now work with a group of ex-cops to discover the truth behind the Adonis crimes and to remove her collar.

TIME TO BEGIN THE REVIEW!

I was absolutely blown away by Collar x Malice. Don't get me wrong, I love all the otome games I play, but this one topped the charts for me. I am very, very particular when it comes to what I like and dislike about otome. I absolutely can't stand when the story is boring, but also don't like when the plot takes away from the romances with the love interests. I think CxM has perfected the balance of story-to-romance. I found myself both wanting to solve the mystery of the game while also loving the time I got to spend with each of the LIs. Of course, some routes I found better than others, but that's to be expected! I genuinely enjoyed each of the LIs and what they had to offer. Usually, there will be a LI or two I'm not too fond of, but let me say, all these boys have replay-ability. I will be revisiting this game again.

My first impressions were so-so; they are almost always completely based off of the LIs' designs (lol, a little bit shallow but what can you do). I definitely had preferences towards Yanagi and Okazaki initially. I was indifferent to Sasazuka, and did not feel like I would enjoy Enomoto and Shiraishi all that much. But let me tell you this.

DON'T JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER. PLS.

Mineo Enomoto

Honestly, I played this man first to get him over with. LOL. I hate to say it now. Enomoto gave off middle school vibes, and it wasn't for me in the beginning. BUT. He really grew on me! Honestly, for being THAT character, you know, the one with no experience with girls, it ended up being super cute. Once you got past the eyepatch thing, he was truly a really good guy and it was adorable to see his relationship develop with Ichika. Definitely not a story heavy chapter, and was a great light introduction to the game, especially with how the game gets darker later on. Enomoto wasn't my favourite, but I still am excited to play his after-story in CxM unlimited.

Takeru Sasazuka

Oh, Sasazuka. Your route was great.

This man was a tsundere if I've ever seen one. He was curt, he was rude, but he was such a good LI. I actually found Sasazuka's backstory to be really good, especially the role it plays in the plot. He had MEGA character development from the beginning of the route to finish. It was lovely to see him fall so hard for Ichika, who he had been calling stupid cat for half the game. Not to mention, Sasazuka's CGs are FINEEEE. I hit that Switch screenshot button a few times. Funny enough, when I went to go play Yanagi's route it didn't register my completion of Sasazuka's, so I actually had to play his route twice. Of course, I sped through most of the dialogue, but I did find myself stopping to replay and read the cute moments between him and Ichika. I enjoyed them as much as I did the first time. I really enjoyed both LI and plot in this route.

Kageyuki Shiraishi

I played Shiraishi's route fourth. At this point, I had a good gist of how the story was flowing, but I did NOT expect the plot twist of Shiraishi's route! I was hesistant to even play Shiraishi at all, because long-haired men (not to mention the cat aesthetic he has going on) aren't usually my thing. Personally, I loved the route's plot more than I did the romance with Shiraishi. This isn't me saying he was bad, but his story was so well done, it's hard to not like it more. I found with Shiraishi, he was slightly overhyped in online reviews. A lot of people say Shiraishi is their favourite from the game, but he wasn't mine. I think I went in with my expectations a bit too high, especially after how much I loved Okazaki's route. At the climax of his route, I felt things were a bit rushed because I was confused as to what was going on, but it was such a minor confusion that I figured things out pretty quickly. Again, I'm really looking forward to playing his after-story!

Aigi Yanagi

It took forever to finally get to Yanagi's route. Honestly at the point I finally got to play his route, he has been a side character for so long that it was hard not to see him that way (LOL, sorry Yanagi!). One thing I was surprised about was that Yanagi's route really put romance on the back-burner and put the story in the front. I get it, since Yanagi's route was the big reveal and finale, and honestly it really worked for the overall story. It's not like Yanagi's route wasn't romantic, but it was a little hard to focus on him when you could feel the Adonis leader's identity reveal just around the corner. Yanagi also had the longest route, with seven chapters instead of six. I would say he got some of the best CGs of the game, probably since he is the poster child of CxM. The whole Yanagi backstory is absolutely fantastic as well, and they did a really good job diving deep into his character.

Kei Okazaki

Of course, I had to leave Okazaki for last. Okazaki is by far my favourite Collar x Malice LI and may quite literally be overtaking Toma (Amnesia) for the top spot of them all. I knew I would love Okazaki from the start and I was right. I love his character design, the voice acting, aloof personality, route story, EVERYTHING. While I would not classify Okazaki as any sort of yandere (my favourite trope), he checked all the boxes I usually look for in my LIs (self-sacrificing, obsessive, etc). His entire life outlook changed after getting close with Ichika, and was it ever emotional seeing him go though all that inner turmoil. Let me tell you, this man had me RUNNING to Collar x Malice Unlimited for more. The amount of times he popped up in Yanagi's route made me want to just go replay his route again. Not to mention, his tragic love ending has to be the best in the game. I accidently got it by misclicking, but holy crap?? The CG was crazy! And once you get the tragic love end, you get the bonus CG, which also happens to be my favourite from the game. Anyway, this game has left me an Okazaki fan through-and-through, as well as clogged up my Switch library with screenshots of his face. I could say A LOT more, but trying to leave this spoiler-free for friends who potentially want to play.

Kei best boy <3

Do I recommend Collar x Malice? Of course!

The game really hits both the story component and romance component, and I definitely got my money's worth with over 60 hours of gameplay. Of course, there are some minor bugs (looking at you, Sasasuka route) where dialogue seems to be misplaced or the self-inserted name still comes up as Ichika, but believe me, this was so minor and infrequent that I don't think it affected the overall quality of the game.

I am actually sad that the game is over! I'm scared to finish Unlimited too, because what will I do then?!

Overall, Collar x Malice definitely left a lasting impression on me and has become one of my favourite otome. I had a blast playing it and will definitely be back to do it all again. I hope I can break free of my habit of comparing every LI to my favourite, because Okazaki will be hard as hell to beat.

Thanks for reading my review !

Meanwhile, another part of the country

At the top of a hill that made it possible for Iharis to see the town he was close to conquer, he wiped the blood off of his blade and threw the cloth away. Stepping back inside the forest where he resided for now, he touched the gooey delicately with a sinister laugh.

"Ahh, stupid humans... They're so easy to control! And they're all gonna be mine so that maybe she will notice me..."

And with that, he sent what was under his control towards the opening of the forest to a house...

To control whoever was inside at that moment.

*****

"Look, Will, I don't know who this woman is but I'm not comfortable!"

"Mike, I swear she can help! She can even help El with her powers!"

"Do I look like a babysitter to you, darling?"

Screaming at the sudden breath over his shoulder, Will jumped back from the couch he was sitting and almost hit his head hard on the floor, if ut was not for your powers. Chuckling at the frightened look on the kids' faces you just slurped your drink loudly at their silence. Getting your rasp and shaping your long nails whilr your tounge was sticking out, you lifted your head with shock at the loud voice of the boy who has been questioning you.

"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!? GUYS SHE JUST APPEARED OUT OF- WHAT- WHO-"

The rest was, Mike fainting, Lucas being frozen, Mike trying to calm everyone and explain the problem to you, El and Max admiring your form. All in the exact order. You couldn't lie, that Max girl really had a sharp tounge which annoyed you since it reminded you of your brothers, and El couldn't understand most of the puns you were saying but they were such sweethearts that you really didn't care much.

Sitting on the floor of the cramped hideout they made for themselves, you listened what Will told you. It wasn't something you didn't expect, after all the creatures of Hell, especially the Mind Flayer, wouldn't let go of their prey easily. Even though El closed the gate, it wasn't enough since there were 8 more to close. You were uncertain about this all though, thinking it was another play of those who wanted them suffer.

Something was off.

"And how did it feel like?"

Snapping your eyes at Max who asked Will what he meant after him telling them that he felt it near three times now, you cut Will's sentence, cringing at the way he described it while resembling it to a rollercoster, and all the kids' attention turned to you, making them look at you intently.

"It feels like every organ, every cell inside your body sinking, feeling like they turn into mush and your body would grow so cold that after a while you wouldn't even realize that you were cold at the beginning... The fear would consume your whole body like tentacles latching onto their prey and... your souls would eventually disappear..."

Letting out harsh breaths at the way you explained it, you took a hold of Will's hand. Don't worry, none of those monsters can get close to you or me, I'll protect-

"But... I closed the gate..."

Turning your look to the girl beside you, you were surprised at the amount of powers she was holding in her soul, not the one with supernatural.

"It's true but darling, there are 8 more gates to close to fully prevent any more of them to land on your planet... The ones before me hid them well but some way, humans were able to locate one..."

"The lab..."

Nodding sadly at her, you couldn't imagine what she had been through. Humans could be heartless, even though they had the power to find new things, explore and make the world a better place, they also had the power to destroy it all.

After the silence had fallen on every one of you, Will suddenly stood up and draw the Mind Flayer while explaining why he thought that a part of it was still on their world. After his explaining, he turned to you to confirm if that was possible and you stepped between them to look at the drawing. Wandering your fingers on the paper slightly, you answered them with a nod.

"But how? I don't understand, when El closed the gate, the demo-dogs died. If the brain dies, the body dies... Isn't that how it works?"

"You're right, Max but you're thinking as an alive human, an object... The demodogs, the Mind Flayer and all the other creatures down in Hell were created by my Father and brothers to torture the souls, they're at a supernatural level to torment the soul. Even if by some miracle they 'died', their existence wouldn't really be erased."

Extending your hand out to create an illusion of what you were telling to make them understand better, they all looked in amazement at what you had done but Lucas was the one to come to his senses. "Look, that's all coll and shit but how do we know you're not a threat? You're the princess of HELL for fuck's sake!"

Understanding where he was coming from, your lips formed a thight line while Will was groaning at them. "Guys, do you seriously think that she would hurt us? She saved me when none of you knew what was going on! She wouldn't be telling any of this if she wanted to hurt us!"

"Will, that's okay... I can't give you any guarantee since you wouldn't believe any ways but... What If I told you that there were other creatures coming after you right now? And that the only one stopping them is me?"

They widened their eyes at what you said and looked around with fear, yelling at you to not to lie but you shook your head. You didn't want to do this but with a flick of your hand, a demon hound appeared right before them which made them scream and take several steps back.

"Easy, boy. Amicae sunt. Tell me who sent you here."

" Dominus Lucifer..." ( Lord Lucifer...)

"DID THAT DOG JUST TALK- AND WHAT'S WITH LUCIFER!?"

It was hard work but after calming down your hound and letting them pet him, they finally trusted you. Enough for now. While they were making plans, Will suddenly remembered something you told him with panic and that made him go pale.

"Y/N... You said that you couldn't contain something with your spell and that whatever it was pulled a guy inside, right? Could it be the new host?"

Looking down worriedly while muttering things to yourself, you nodded your head, making some protection spells just in case.

"You saw someone getting pulled by one of those shit? Why didn't you do anything!"

"Just so you know kid, this body blocks most of my power! I can't reveal myself to anyone so I'm in need to posses a body and before you ask, this body was already dead when I took a hold of it! I waisted most of my energy already..."

You felt a pair of eyes on you before you could scold Mike more and turned to look who it was, only to see it was El. She looked at you with wonder in her eyes and grabbed your hand witg stubborn eyes.

"How do you know someone is a host?:

******

You were distracted by... well almost all-the-way naked people around and when you heard a soft voice calling out your name, you actually sighed in relief. As soon as finding yourself outside of the town hall while a bunch of shouting was heard, nobody would blame you for taking your dagger out, right?

"Y/N, WHAT THE- PUT IT BACK DOWN!"

" WHAT? I THOUGHT YOU GUYS WERE IN DANGER! WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON, JOYCE!?"

Taking a hold of your arms and making you stand still, Joyce looked into your eyes strictly and you couldn't help but feel like your mother was scolding you." Y/N, calm down! Everything is fine, the lady tried to call the police but well, Jim is there so..."

When a loud bang was heard inside the room, you scrunched your nose in pain while looking with big, doe eyes at Joyce whose heart was... jumping all around the place at the cute look, like a kicked puppy. She coughed nervously to cover her face and turned sideways to watch the woman running at the door." Joyce... should we you know... should I kick the door open?"

" That's not necessary, I think he's fine."

"But I smell... blood. Don't worry it's not Jim's!" Correcting yourself after seeing her widened eyes, you stood close to the door when Joyce pulled the girl away. Mouthing to her to drag her out, you slipped inside the room where a bloody scene welcomed you.

"Jim? Are you okay? Is this fucker resisting to cooperate?"

"Ahaha, you got a second girlfriend now Jim? "

Looking at the man with disgusted eyes while he smirked with blood all over his face, Jim beat you into answering him. "That woman could end your whole fucking existence and I would sit back and watch! Give me the files, Larry..."

"I can enter his mind and control him you know?"

"W-what? I- who is she? What the hell is she talking-"

"Okay, enough talking!"

Throwing him out of his office and getting on the car, you looked at Joyce awkwardly from the back seat next to Larry while he was checking you out in a very perverted way. Seeing that you were struggling, Jim harshly stopped the car and turning bavk on his seat, he tugged on Larry's tie with a deadly look.

"Touch her or even make her uncomfortable, I will kill you before you even use those eyes. Understood?"

Nodding his head in fear and scooting away from you, Jim looked at you and you gave him a reassuring smile to show your gratitude. Thank you, Jim...

Flinching at your sweet voice inside his mind, Jim looked at you with shocked eyes yet smiled at you as well and went back to road while thinking deeply. He didn't know why he started to trust or even care about you in just three days. He was treating you like shit in the beginning but now?

He got just over protective over you because of some pervert.

His heart was at a war, between you and Joyce. He didn't know what he was feeling for you, it definetly wasn't a fatherly love, he knew how it felt like and it wasn't like a deep love either. He knew he liked Joyce but his heart speeding up, you talking about what you knew, sprouting random facts about history... All of them made him feel something inside but for now, he didn't have to think about them.

He just needed to look at the case in his hands.

Joyce was also deep inside her mind. You made her question a lot of things. Her beliefs, who she needed to trust, how powerful you are and... What were these things about you that made her soft in the middle of the chaos. She liked them though, after all of the stress of what happened to her son and whatever supernatural thing was going on in their town, it was nice to feel like a normal human even if it was thanks to someone supernatural. She would have never thought that a demon was nice, yet alone made her feel things she hadn't felt in a long time: love, safety and care.

Your innocent yet dominant looking eyes, the confidence you had and your ability to talk back snarkly and the sassiness were what amused her the most. In a way, you reminded Will. Maybe he had gotten them from you, after all you spent a long time with him while protecting him from whatever there was.

Looking behind herself to see if there was anything wrong with you, she saw you blushing madly which made her tilt her head."Are you okay?"

"YES! I mean, yeah... Nothing wrong, why would there be?

Turning back with a I-didn't-believe-you-and-you-better-tell-me-later look, she continued to talk with Jim.

They didn't have to know that you read their minds.

Finally coming to Larry's house and parking, you ran outside and sighed deeply. "I swear this fresh air is the best thing God created! There were so much blood and sweat, I was gonna cry!"

Giggling at your antics, Joyce and Jim walked in front of you while you stayed back in case someone or thing, would attack. Chuckling at the way you laughed when he commented on Larry's home, Jim tried not to think about your happy face and the little scrunch you usually do. They walked up to Larry's office and took the flies, while Joyce was staying away from you three, you leaned over Jim's shoulder to look at all the paper on his hands, feeling bad that he tensed up.

"So let me get this straight: You sold all of this land to some guys just because they wanted to and also for your protection? Bitch, protection is something you use on sex it's not like you sold your body though I'm quite certain you did it in your past when you were young but your town wouldn't be that... unvaluable..."

Trying to control the laugh that almost erupted inside of his chest, Jim looked ahead of him and stared at Larry with a strange face. Joyce came and took the files which Jim followed close by. Not breaking eye-contact, you followed them and listened.

"The power outage could be my fault, Joyce. When I use my powers, since they're on different frequencies, it might cause it... But it could be because of those guys too, of course. And you know what? You're one of the smartest human I've ever seen."

Feeling shy at the compliments you and Jim had given, she hit your arm playfully while looking at Jim with pure heart eyes which made you gag. "For the love of everything holy, stop giving each other bedroom looks!"

"We're not!"

"And I'm actually married to Putin! What the fuck dude!"

"Wait, who's Putin? Hey you red face, come here!"

*****

"Okay so... you're gonna danger a kid's life?"

"She's the only one who could do that!"

"Steve, I basically told you that I can shrink!"

Whisper yelling at each other at the idiocy the trio held, you didn't see Dustin and Erica sharing a look. "Are they together or something? If so, I seriously pity the woman. She totaly is a babe!"

"We're not together and Erica where did you-"

"Thank you darling! Here is more ice-cream for you!"

Grunting at the way you treated the girl, both Robin and Steve looked at you with pleading eyes. You smirked at their ways since you put the idea of what she wanted in Erica's mind by treating her with ice-cream. Sitting down next to her in a circle, you and Erica ate the sweets to your heart's content. If it were anyone else, you would eat everything and wouldn't even leave any crumbs but Robin and Steve was cute--and hot-- so you just pretended to eat while making new sweets for Erica so that they wouldn't be fired at this rate.

You giggled whenever Steve went to the counter and saw them, and let out a God, this woman is amazing, at you. And also whenever you heard Robin's thoughts of how hot you were, you held yourself from bursting out loud since Steve was crushing on her and she was crushing on you.

"Do you know how your plan sounds like to me?"

"Child endangerment."

"Y/N!"

"What? It's true!"

Dragging a hand over his face, Dustin got Erica's attention on himself while Robin was scolding you... Even if she was so close to see the white light because of the closeness you two had.

"We need her to do that for us, why are you doing it?"

"Well, I care about kids!"

"But what about the country?"

"The country will already be in shambles! In like 16 years with the Twin Towers!"

Looking at you with wide eyes, you slapped your mouth with your hands, muttered a curse and just got up to stand with Steve while not hearing Robin blurt out random words. But what Erica said made you burst out laughing. God, these creations of yours are so funny!

"Well, you can't spell 'America' without 'Erica'."

Walking towards Steve who was making more sweet for Erica, you stood on the door way and watched him amusedly.

"I swear, these kids are making me act up and I'm starting to have grey hairs!"

" No worries, Steve. Your gorgeous hair doesn't have any imperfections."

Flinching at your honeyed voice, he turned around quickly, he posed cooly while leaning on the shelf above his head. Laughing at his miserable flirting, you pushed him aside with your hip and prepared Erica's sweet while making sweet talk with him.

"I thought you liked having kids around?"

"I do, but Erica makes a nerve jump up." Giggling at him, he looked at your laughing side profile while falling in a daze. He had so many things to ask you. About the world and universe, the future, his future, maybe some interesting facts to have a bet on later... But he wondered about your past the most. You were thousands of years- Wait, how old were you?

"May I ask some quick questions?"

"Well, you have 3 chances until I make the sweets so... Go on."

"How old are you?"

Looking at him with an unimpressed look, you turned to the counter to scoop more vanilla ice-cream while giving a serene smile at the teenagers who were looking at you with heart eyes. "Well, I don't know? But if it's gonna answer your question, I was there when the universe was created."

"Holy shit! You're that old?"

"Ehem..."

Looking at you sheepishly, he squeezed his neck while you continued with your second sweet. Looking at your neck that was mostly covered with your hair, he couldn't help but admire you, almost forgetting the second question. "Okay, then... Why are you here? Helping us I mean."

Stopping in your tracks, you turned to him and put your hands on the table, leaning over him which made him nervous and his heart beat faster.

" You might think I'm the bad guy but trust me, for the longest time, I was the one to protect your world. I only want the creatures of Hell to return and close those gates... It's a win-win for everyone, no?"

"So you also think your own benefit?"

"Even though I'm the nicest demon down there, I'm still a demon. Of course I care about my benefits." you said with a are-you-series look. They didn't think of you as a human after all, right?

"Would you... leave us if situation called for it?"

At hearing Erica's yell to have her sweet soon, you ran past Steve, not answering his question. But you knew him since his baby years, he wouldn't stop asking you until he got his answers.

"Loyalty is the only thing that keeps us together. Even if we're gonna burn in Hell for eternity, at least we would die together...."

*****

Looking at the pool and the guy sitting over it, you squinted your eyes to decide whether the man you saw was him or not. "I dunno guys... I mean sure the hair looks similar but... something is different."

"What?"

"His soul... Normally, human souls are bright, even if they're sinners. Like a huge beam of sunlight but his is... glitchy...."

Looking at her brother, Max seemed worried and you didn't know what to do. You were never the one to comfort someone, yet alone a child so you pat her shoulder awkwardly while Will and Mike went away, telling only the guys could come. With a scowl, a copy of yours in the disguise of a handsome boy appeared next to them which made Mike yell at you while you three girls laughed hard.

"What the hell! I'm telling you Will, if she doesn't stop-"

"Do you think I have a say in this?? To... a demon?"

Grunting while walking with you, you stood there with Max while El went after them as well. You could feel the anxiety leaking out of her, silently praying the host to not to be him. " Are you sure that it was... him?"

You knew they had a complicated, very complicated relationship. You knew Billy was a douchebag but... deep down, somewhere in his heart, he loved Max. You knew the shit he went through too, feeling disgusted that something God created with utmost perfection could be that vile.

"I'm not sure... His soul isn't like any other humans and his hair kinda looks like the one I saw... I can only hope that it's not him because if it is, then even God can't help him."

"What's that supposed to mean? Isn't God like the creator of all?"

"Yes, he is. But the Mind Flayer is a creature of Hell. When one is in between its clutches... They belong to the Hell."

With fear inside her eyes, she grabbed your hand thightly. "You can't let that happen! I-I mean yeah, he is a jackass but... he's still my brother! You-You can't let it happen!"

Looking at her sadly, you pat her head softly. You didn't like this part of the job. Never. Just because someone was unfortunate enougg to be in the way of one of them, wouldn't justify the rule. But in the end, you weren't the one in charge therefore, there was nothing you could do.

In the end, the kids prepared the set-up and played well enough to make Billy believe them and go right into that room. Banging on the door and yelling at them to let go of him, you watched Max cry silently while you inspected him and his behaviour. He cried about some crimes he committed, said that it wasn't his choice and that something like a shadow was making him do it when he stepped back in fright when his eyes landed on you, muttering something like the Angel of Death coming for him. He seemed histerical, crying out and trashing inside the room. But...

"He sees my true form..."

Looking at you weirdly, they didn't understand what it was supposed to mean. But it all made sense when you talked again and Will sensed it coming. "It's here!

"Only the monsters of Hell can see my true form..."

"MAX, GET AWAY FROM THE DOOR!"

You jumped back when Billy broke the window and attacked Max, immediately taking the kids behind you to protect them. Lashing out and breaking the tiles, Billy tried to get out only to be stopped by Lucas and his aiming skills. It was silent for a few second, like the silence before storm, when the lights started to flicker off.

Cursing under your breath, you kneeled to the ground and cut your wrist with your long nail to drag your blood. Taking some on your finger, tou drew a circle around the kids and some symbols while chanting in an unknown language.

" A te disfrenasi

Il verso ardito, Te invoco, o Satana, Re del convito... Tu spiri, O Satana,Nel verso mio,Se dal sen rompeni

Sfidando il dio... Protect them with your might."( To you my daring verses are unleashed, you I invoke, O Satan, monarch of the feast...You breathe, O Satan in my verses, when from my heart explodes a challenge to the God.)

"WHAF THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING!?? HE'S ABOUT TO COME OUT!"

"I KNOW! THAT'S WHY YOU HAVE TO STAY INSIDE THE CIRCLE!! IT WILL PROTECT YOU FROM ANY HARM WHILE I DEAL WITH HIM!"

"PLEASE DON'T KILL-"

Max was cut short when Billy threw the door open and saw you stand in front of him. Looking at him with sharp eyes, your human eyes snapped back to the real ones, flashing a bright red while flames shot out from your back. " Quis te imperat? Quis est dominus tuus? Qui servis?"( Who controls you? Who is your master? Who do you serve?)

" Someone you refused a long time ago..." said Billy with a sinister smile, and attacked you without a question but was met with your red powers meeting in halfway, pinning him to the wall harshly and trying to get whatever was inside of him out. Looking at him with eyes coated with death, you took a hold of his face and made him face you which he let out a slight whimper while Lucas whispered at others to remind him to not to anger you.

"Who are you to boss me around when you're scared at the mere sight of me? WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!"

After punching and throwing each other out, you understood that no one would be able to save him anymore. His soul was already gone...

"With the power my Father gave, I, Y/N Morningstar command you to leave thy body!"

Laughing histerically at you with spit coating his mouth, he got close to you. " I don't care..."

And when he went to El who got out of the circle, you threw him away from her weak form since she tried to help you. Craddling her fragile body to yourself while others were huddled behind you with fear, you felt like something inside you tried to get out. Pushing them away from you, you screamed in pain...

Since you and every single one of your copies puked purple blood and fainted rght away... With the command of the Heaven and your enmy.

*****

"That woman and girl... it was them. They could've killed me..."

A click of heels cut their conversation when a tall and lanky figure appeared above them on the ladders. "Tsk, Tsk... I thought I tought you better, Billy. She's not strong yet... As long as she doesn't posses her perfect vessel, she is just slightly stronger than an average demon. Courtesy of the Heaven."

Looking at his perfect creation, Iharis laughed in ecstasy about what was coming...

His ultimate victory.

[thedawningofthehour]

Is there a reason Splinter calls Donnie by his color more often than his brothers?? I remember in doth, Donnie felt like Splinter never liked his name, because the artist Donatello wasn't part of the 'holy trinity' of the renaissance or something, and that Splinter wanted a daughter. Is this true, or is Donnie's perspective in that scene somewhat warped, and Splinter just does it to tease his son? This was a while ago but idk, I just liked this detail a lot.

Donnie's definitely talking from his own insecurities about his place on the team.

I went from being vehemently against Splinter calling them by their colors (because he's SPLINTER, he calls his boys by their full names! It's just wrong otherwise!) to seeing the colors as beloved childhood nicknames that he still uses because those are his babies. (though I still don't like him referring to them by their shortened names-he will use their full names or the stupid nickname he has for them, no in-between) The way I imagine it, he had four turtle babies. He was a single dad. His vision wasn't that great to begin with-it might have even gotten worse after his mutation, as rats have terrible vision. And he was fucking tired. He needed some kind of system because he was calling Leo and Donnie Stripes and Stripes 2 in his head, and no it was not consistent who was Stripes 2. Turtles have cloacae, which means their sexual organs are inside and all their species generally don't display secondary sexual characteristics at birth, so he didn't know if they were males or females. So he slapped some colors on them and called it a day. When they actually started sleeping through the night and he could poop in peace, then he started thinking about real names.

Canonically, he calls Donnie by his color the most. I can't find it now or I'd link it but someone did go through the series and catalogue it. He uses Purple the most, closely followed by Blue. He only rarely calls Raph Red, and actually never calls Mikey Orange. I kind of get it for the others-orange is more difficult to pronounce that blue or red, and Raph and red are close enough that he made the switch pretty easily. But purple? It's the same amount of syllables as Donnie and is actually more difficult to pronounce. (though Splinter is not a native English speaker so what would be easiest for me to say would not necessarily be easiest for him, to be fair)

I can't really chalk this up to favoritism because honestly, while Splinter loves all his kids equally and his favorite kid shifts from day to day based on shit like who's amusing him the most and who ate the last poptart, I do feel like he generally likes Donnie and Mikey a little more. So the fact that he almost always calls Donnie by his color but exclusively uses Mikey's real name doesn't really make sense.

So in my canon, Donnie was the last one he sexed, so he called him by nothing but his color the longest. (I think when I did my research Leo should have actually been the last one to start displaying secondary sexual characteristics, but whatever)

And he did want at least one daughter-not because he preferred one or the other, but he would have liked a mix. He wasn't being weirdly gendered about it, this is Lou Jitsu for fuck's sake-his kids played with dolls and racecars, they watched Barbie movies and then some anime mech show. He didn't give a fuck about gender roles and he certainly didn't force them on his kids. But Splinter is also an older dad and grew up in a very different culture. He didn't have siblings, didn't really have friends with kids. So there were definitely times he was sitting at his kitchen table while his four sons ran around screaming their heads off and thought "it would be nice to have some little girls." (meanwhile a few blocks away April is playing Frankenstein with her barbies)

I feel you've moved away from Mick slightly in the last few weeks. I also thought your comment about Laila being on a free trip to Japan was a bit cutting. Obviously they both want to spend time with one another. Lsila also has her own money and has acquired quite an amount of money too. Maybe I'm wrong but you're normally one of the first to post or tag Mick

hi best bud!!! thank you for giving me an opportunity to chat a little about where i'm at in my head and in my heart and honestly in my life in general. so for the last two race weekends i have been on a tropical vacation literally 8000 km away from my home with my best buds 🥰 girls trip!!! and on previous vacations i've tried to keep the posting going but honestly this time around it just felt super difficult and i really needed to disconnect cause i've got a lot going on in my life rn (under a read more not to bore you all)

tl;dr is that i still absolutely adore Mick, but the uncertainty over where he's going to end up is really tough for me to be dealing with on top of everything else in my life. i'm working through it!!!! for the last 6 races, they are also generally WAY easier for me to keep up with for posting cause they are in my timezone :) so you will see me back on your dash posting rather than reblogging real soon!!!!

really appreciate your concern and love buddy <3

1) my mom is going through chemo for stage 4 cancer and while i was away, ended up in the hospital for a fractured vertebrae, which is super stressful cause its just me and my dad around to help her and they were worried it was possible that the cancer had spread to her bones and etc etc etc. all good in the end and they have her on a pain management plan while it heals and finally gets to the end of her chemo plan (she can't get any further treatment until chemo is done) but obv that's been weighing on me really really heavily. i did most of my grieving earlier this year and have honestly been handling it pretty well since then, though there are weeks more overwhelming than others, but yeah, it sucks very very much.

2) remember boy that i was seeing who got deported? we've been doing really well keeping in touch with calls and texts and even all through my vacation he was sending me good morning texts, little check ins throughout the day, etc. until near the end he found out that his company was no longer going to sponsor his visa 🫠 and full credit to him, he was super upfront about it right away and we agreed we would deal with it when i got back and well. i got back. and we agreed that until he can know that canada is actually a real possibility, its best if we end things here ☹️ so yeah basically got the "it's not you, it's me" from him but i do agree that if he doesnt plan to be in canada im not doing short term long distance if there isn't going to be an end in sight.

3) there is soooooo much uncertainty surrounding both Mick & Callum right now and where they're going to be next year and that has been majorly stressing me out if i'm honest. like i had to totally disassociate from the whole social media fiasco Callum got pulled into cause im sincerely so worried we won't see him on the grid next year, that would actually possibly kill me. and similarly, Mick is being rumoured for WEC seats and the F1 door is closing and like. i can't do WEC. it's not that i don't love it, but i've been there for Callum and had a tough enough time just being able to find a place to watch them, nevermind that 8h-24h races are just not sustainable for me unless i drop another sport that i love. and quite honestly, i don't love that Mick has made most of his public persona his relationship right now. when was the last time he posted about racing? i LOVE a hard launch, it truly brought him back into the mainstream in terms of conversation, but then he didn't really capitalize on it to even do a throwback or even a post himself about Mick's Kart Race that DVB organized or a fucking training post. i totally understand where you're coming from in that they want to spend their time together as much as possible and like, alright go to japan amazing!!!! i just wish that we were SEEING more than her. momentum in this kind of job market is so easily influenced by perception, and right now my perception of Mick is that he has a girlfriend and no job prospects. ALL THAT TO SAY. i adore Mickolas. that will never ever change. i want to support him wherever he ends up. i've been there for Callum and done it before and i will absolutely do it again for Mick.

4) balancing having a life and work and friends and love, which was new for me, is fucking hard to do if you also want to post and write and edit and gif and watch racing. i'm having a tough time figuring it out. i've been grieving over the last month quite honestly, cause i love this community and i adore what i've built here and i still LOVE racing and sharing that love and passion with you guys. it's just really hard to figure out how to do without sacrificing things that mean more / have a higher priority in my life right now. but i'm missing it!!!!!!!!! so much. i wanna get back to gif'ing and posting and writing, truly.

i sooo want a good romcom again & ik recently there's been a bunch of romcom drops (i think anne has smth otw) but they just don't work for some reason? i cant put my finger on it tho why they're rubbing me the wrong way but they just are .....

ik you're a film student so i wonder why you think that may be the case!

-🐰

quite simply there's no real chemistry is the main thing people pick up on? they just put two hot people and say go at it.

and there's also no real...earnestness or care put into them everything is meta and set aware (the marvel effect) so audiences can never fully sink themselves into the narrative. like to all the boys was a ya romcom yes but even adults liked it because it was just something sweet, and earnest and even with the slightly unbelievable plot you fully bought into the world and the characters and it was truly a lightning in a bottle moment even the sequels couldn't replicate. so many of the plots are just...nothing or tired retreads without anything new to say. that's why movies like Lisa Frankenstein are doing so well with audiences because yes its a horror comedy but its also very clearly a romance about two lonely people who had to cross the mortal coil to have each other and related deeply despite being 100+ years and a death apart lol. the girls want connection and romance. the girls also want eroticism? idk why people complain about sex in movies we are the most sexless we've ever been and romcoms kinda...need a sexual aspect even if the leads never touch on screen we need the vibe that they fuck

also just like everything is very...on the nose and of its time in a way thats not very endearing like everything is going to be dated thats how film works its going to be a reflection of the times but I think with rom coms being soooooo aware of the flaws of past romcoms they try to overcorrect the characters don't speak or act like real people its giving twitter hypotheticals "ladies is eating McDonalds in a car a first date" instead of people organically liking each other and going through the ups and downs. no balance of conflict either its either too much or too little.

and visually most things sucks. like extremely bad costume wise, they're just putting people in shein and h&m and calling it a day. nothing strikes us, nothing identifies us with the characters personality or feelings or place in life

lastly like studios aren't giving them the budget or like they aren't being released in theaters its on streaming which seems more accessible but in many ways its not and so many rom coms bombed at the box office bur thrived on the home video market. now things are released to streaming and if its a show its canceled after 2 episodes if its not pulling in 100 billion views and for movies AND shows they're erased from platforms indiscriminately to never be seen again. and romcoms historically were never huge box office hits so studios and services don't care to make them.

sorry this was so long lol. invest in a dvd player and find your fav movies on eBay or at the Walmart 5 dollar bin thats what keeps your favorite genres and movies alive.

What are your thoughts on hulk putting a guy in a coma in the first issue of immortal hulk?

Given hulk has a specific hatred of the system later on, and becomes a pseudo champion for the downtrodden, it seems him not on,y ruining this man’s life, but the lives of his family as well was excessively cruel

Tho that may have intentional, devil hulk is not a morally pure character by any means and is meant to be questionable at times, but it clashes with his later actions,

And hell, what about dr mcgowen? She worked in an MGH lab, hurting mutants like glow boy, she wants the active cause but she still participated

But we understand she was driven to these things by poverty, but the gas station robber was as well?

We know dr mcgowen is respected because she stands up,to hulk, but we see the gas station robber apologizing profusely, admitting he’d been done wrong and wanting to do better,

Ultimately it boils down to a few important character details. The first is the thought of "He was a murderer who just could not WAIT to kill someone with that gun despite his protestations to the contrary, kills a little girl for startling him and Banner for being in the wrong place, and the cashier"

When the Devil Hulk lays out everything he did wrong and taunts him with the knowledge of what's going on in that guy's mind, its delivered with the attitude that he is exactly correct. Devil Hulk just KNOWS stuff about people, just as he is a mirror of all the aspects of human nature that Banner desperately doesn't want to admit are part of himself, and always WERE part of himself. The Devil Hulk shows you two things; the you that is seen in the mirror, and the you that you DON'T want to see.

In this case, its that this desperate, poverty-stricken family man with a child and another child on the way also really wanted to kill other people, relished in the power over life and death that having a gun offered him, and given the chance, he didn't hesitate to murder.

He regretted it, sure. He was motivated by money to keep the gangs off him and support his family. He still did it. And the thing about Devil Hulk is that he does not care about extenuating circumstances. If he thinks you deserve to die, than by all that you hold holy he is absolutely going to kill you, regardless of why.

Contrast with Charlene Mcgowan, who is also in a very bad position; she's implied to have been stuck working for supervillains and other morally unspeakable employers because she had no other options and was stuck in a bad place with no alternative. The distinction here is that, contrasted with her mad scientist counterparts in the same organization, she is actively trying to alievate the pain of an undying gamma mutate who is in constant suffering, and the other doctors want to dissect him.

She didn't have to try, but she did. She puts herself at SERIOUS risk trying to make it easier on him, time and again, taking his pain away; Fortean has a guy demoted for simply expressing basic human compassion for someone Fortean terms an enemy, so just imagine what he would do if he realized how extensively she was going out of her way to help a gamma mutate?

So gas station robber dude didn't have to kill anyone, but he wanted to, and did it even when he didn't do anything. He claimed remorse, and might have meant it, but Devil Hulk didn't care, as he seems to value actions over desire. Macgowan, conversely, put herself at serious risk to make Glowboy's pain stop. She didn't have to, but she did.

Robber-guy felt bad for it, but again, that doesn't seem to matter much to Devil Hulk.

There are two further possibilities to consider, here. The first is that er willing to stand up to him and defend herself while Robber Guy immediately started making excuses while begging and pleading led to his different decisions. making excuses or refusing to acknowledge that you had a choice in the matter REALLY sets him off. Standing up to him and making a case for yourself as honestly as possible, conversely, tends to gain... not leniency, but he will at least hear you out.

This leads into the second interpretation to think about; that Devil Hulk during the Hulk In Hell arc is explicitly compared as a Satanic figure, but NOT a Christian one. He better fits the Jewish conception of it less as a specific figure and more as a broad office of a divine prosecutor, demanding humanity account for its innumerable crimes to itself and others. Devil Hulk demands that the people he encounters explain themselves, and give a defense for their crimes. This is by FAR the single most consistent aspect of his character, and the bit that ultimately separates him the most from any other incarnation or depiction of the Hulk.

He is a judge. He has implicitly judged all humanity for its crimes. In the face of blood on your hands, doing it for you family doesn't matter much to him. There was, he might say, always a choice. You might die or something worse happen to you, but then you wouldn't be guilty of what you DID do. It is his purpose to judge all the world, and in his judgements, we see a microcosm of what he may one do to humanity as a whole.

Macgowan accepted what she did was wrong, and didn't make excuses, but tried to help out another person in misery. Bank Robber Guy murdered people on an impulse and when he realized how deep he was, he mostly comes off as scared and upset these things are happening to him, but he doesn't come off as genuinely remorseful to a meaningful degree. Sure, what Devil Hulk did was fucked up, but 'fucked up' is what Devil Hulk IS.

The robber really doesn't seem to WANT to do better, he just doesn't want to suffer for the things he did; he killed three people in cold blood (panic, perhaps, but cold blood all the same, and as Hulk infers, he WANTED to do something like that the whole time, just because he could) so its hard to feel any pity for him.

(I would also note that bad men doing bad things and being excused from the consequences because they had a family would probably sit very poorly with Devil Hulk, given that he exists specifically as a protector alter to an abused child. He might say something along the lines of lots of people having families, and it doesn't make them special or deserve anything more than what they get.)

I did it! One chapter of my cleuce fanfiction! I already have 3 different stories actually, but i had difficulties and only translade one of them! I hope you all like , The fic takes place in the movie universe, specifically during the MH2

HISSETTE

"Cleo, are you sure? We can do this tomorrow!" Lagoona said as she walked with her best friend through the halls of Monster High. 

"Goona, it's okay, I'm really busy. I've been leaving my homework late because I've had a lot of work helping Clawdeen's campaign, plus...my dad said he couldn't make it, so..." De Nile speaks to her friend.

"Still, birthdays should be celebrated. Your father is traveling but, there's me and Ghoulia and Abbey! We have become very close since last year and well, Clawdeen, Draculaura and Frankie are our friends too...and you could call Deuce and..."

Lagoona interrupts her speech when she notices that Cleo has stopped following her around, the little sea monster knew that her friend still liked the snake boy, even after they broke up during the vacations last year.

"Lagoona. Deuce and I are not friends, exactly." 

"That's not true, you guys..."

"No, it is. We have friends in common. That's the only reason he can stand me, and don't get me wrong, I don't care, I don't like him, he's into Clawdeen. It's all right. I really don't want to celebrate my birthday, okay? If I can't have the biggest party in this school, then I'd rather not do anything."

Both monsters stared at each other, Lagoona knew the mummy well enough to know when the mummy was lying and for that reason knew her well enough also to know when she was not well.

"Okayyyyyy! But we're still taking a day after your birthday for a creeporver party, don't think you'll get away with it!"

"Never!"

Cleo and Lagoona continued on their way laughing and making plans for the creepover, totally oblivious to the "snake boy" near one of the school pillars.

Days passed and Cleo found herself saying goodbye to her three clingy friends.

"That's horrible!" Said Abby with her arms around Cleo, with Ghoulia and Lagoona on her lap in a hug at 4 uncomfortable for the creature being overwhelmed by three hugs.

"Ghouls, it's no big deal." Said Cleo still being smothered.

"Yes it is, Lagoona has been called in for swim practice, I have to help with the crazy science club project, and Abbey needs to go to the creepy math club group study. You can't be alone, Cleo!" Finished Ghoulia finally releasing Cleo from her embrace.

"Very sweet, ghouls, but it's not like I'm going to be alone all the time. We've all spent the morning together, you have things to do now, it's okay." Cleo said smiling slightly at her ghoulfriends.

"Yeah, but by the time we're free, you'll be sleeping, because even if we manage to finish early, Coach and the teachers are going to hold us in some really boring meeting about teamwork, like last time!" Lagoona said upset, not wanting to leave her friend alone just on her birthday.

"Cleo, seriously, we can make up some excuse and stay here with you. Ghoulia said taking Cleo's hands so she could watch the face of the little monster who in less than a year has become someone so special in her non-life.

"I know, but I'm just going to finish my homework and go to sleep. Tell you what, tomorrow after we help Clawdeen's campaign we'll organize our creepover party, okay? Let's take the opportunity to invite Frankie and the girls and the boys too, okay?" Cleo said and looked with an arched eyebrow at Abbey who she knew very well was having a huge crush on the match head.

The friends laughed and hugged each other one last time before Ghoulia, Lagoona and Abbey left the room. Cleo was still surprised to learn that after being afraid for so long of letting other creatures into her (un)life, she had left her heart open to Ghoulia and Abbey, and that would be a decision she would bet all her beauty and wealth she would never regret.

Cleo walked to her desk, sat down, grabbed her icoffin and opened her music app setting a random playlist to play, when the music started, she began one of the school activities she needed to finish. 

The minutes passed quickly for Cleo, the next thing she knew, an hour had passed and someone was knocking on her bedroom door. The mummy opened the door and was surprised to find Deuce standing in front of her.

"Hi, did something happen?" Cleo asked.

"Where are your friends?" Deuce asks without answering the ghoul.

"Not that it's any of your business, but they had an appointment this afternoon, why?" Cleo asks again, suspicious at the sudden appearance of the snake boy.

"Okay, come with me." Deuce says taking Cleo's hand and pulling her lightly out of the room.

"No! Deuce, what's gotten into you?" Cleo tried to disengage her hand from the boy's hand, but he just held her hand tighter without hurting her.

"Please, Cleo. Trust me." Deuce said, Cleo watched the boy's green eyes hidden by the lenses of his glasses, Cleo wished the words spoken to Lagoona days ago were true. 

With a sigh, Cleo allowed herself to be taken by the Gorgon. The boy's hand did not leave hers for a moment as they walked through the almost empty halls of the school.

Deuce finally stopped in front of the monster cooking room, the mummy watches the little monster take a deep breath and look shy like never before, the boy takes another deep breath and opens the door of the room to reveal a table with a gold and blue birthday cake with hieroglyphic decorations.

Cleo felt her eyes fill with tears, she watched Deuce intently for the first time since he appeared in her room and saw that his clothes were soiled with wheat and golden glaze.

"Oh,...Deuce, did you do that?" 

"Yes, happy birthday, Cleo." Deuce says smiling at her. 

"I don't know what to say..." The mummy says.

"You don't have to say anything." Deuce says and still holding the girl's hand leads her to the cake. 

Deuce placed a candle on top of the cake and lit it, he and Cleo sang Happy Birthday together and she blew out the candle making a silent request. Deuce cut, serving Cleo and himself and they sat down to eat while chatting about various nothingness.

"Thank you for that, Deuce. I really didn't expect it." 

"You don't have to thank me, in fact, I'd rather you didn't."

"Why not?"

"Why, De Niles don't thank you and I did why, the royalty's birthday should be celebrated."

"Yeah, sure...but having so much work..."

"You are worth all the effort, Cleo. Hmmm, I have one more thing for you." Deuce stood up and walked over to a table near the wall of the room, picked up a small box and approached handing it to the mummy.

"Open it and don't shake the box." Said Deuce, Cleo looked at him for a second before biting her lips and opening the box.

"Awww, hello!" Cleo said smiling watching the little blue snake inside the box. The snake was adorable, its scales were blue and shiny with beautiful green eyes, a beautiful baby copper just over 10 cm long.

"Did you like it?" Deuce asked watching Cleo pet the baby snake with her finger.

"Yes, she is the most devilishly beautiful little thing in the world." Cleo replied smiling.

"Well, she's special too, see." Deuce moved the little snake in Cleo's hand so that it was wrapped like a bracelet around her wrist.

"Close your eyes, Cleo." He said, Cleo did as he said. When she opened her eyes, the snake had turned into a gold bracelet and her eyes had turned into emeralds.

"Oh, that...how? Is she okay?" Cleo asked Gorgon between delighted and worried.

"Yes, she's just sleeping. When she depetrifies she'll be healthy as ever, it will only last a few minutes because I really put in the effort,...and now you have a snake and an accessory." Deuce speaks and sees Cleo watching him in silence and continues, "It's my mother's hair,...the snake, it's her first white hair, I thought you would like it." Deuce says and is surprised when Cleo throws her arms around his shoulders and hugs him. For a second he puts on the brakes, but as soon as he smells roses coming off the girl he hugs her back.

Deuce and Cleo slowly pull away from the embrace, faces still close, Deuce slowly begins to bring his lips closer to the girl's lips when one of the snakes in his head comes out from under his burrow and kisses Cleo's forehead. The Gorgon quickly pulls away in shame as the mummy laughs.

"You know I'm going to come after you several times from now on whenever I want my snake to turn into a different accessory, right?" Cleo says smiling diverting her eyes from the embarrassed little monster to her snake bracelet/baby.

"Yeah, I'm counting on it." Deuce replies and watches Cleo watching him curiously. Both are interrupted with the notification sound of the boy's icoffin.

"OH MY GHOULS! HAS ANYONE SEEN CLEO?!" Said Lagoona's message in the little monsters' chat. Deuce showed the message to Cleo who just laughed.

"You can go, I'll pack everything up here, I had Heath put the snake nursery in your room and I made him promise not to set anything on fire." Gorgon says with a light smile.

"Okay, but I have to say,...I have no idea how to take care of a snake." Cleo says.

"But I know, I'll be more than happy to teach you everything you need to know and answer all your questions, but I'm a bad teacher, so we'll have to meet every day so I can help you,..." Deuce says nervously, Cleo just smiles and moves closer giving the Greek a kiss on the cheek.

"Ok, Deucy." Cleo says as she walks away going to the door and giving a slight goodbye to the little monster who remained standing in the same place with one hand touching the spot where he was kissed.

As she walked back to her room, the snake on her wrist returned to its original form, the snake was the sweetest gift anyone had ever given her and would still give her the opportunity to maybe make her birthday wish come true.

"Oh, back already?you really are so cute, I hope you like me as much as I already like you" Cleo said to the snake who hissed happily in response rubbing a small head on one of Cleo's fingers in search of affection. Oh, I guess that's a yes, but you need a name,...how about Hiss...Hissette?"

Part 9

Warning: Interspecies racism

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

Years have passed since the succesful birth of experiment 6052,he showed a natural tenderness for others, or maybe just maybe was the fact of growing up in a secured envirioment, he was never schoolarized at the lab, mostly because according to Doctor Louve, he needed to socialize outside, it was necesary, so, the leaders of the proyect and with help of the goverment , created birth documents for 6052, giving him the name of "Daniel Junior Dzhek Nickson", and they stated in the documents that Doctor Daniel Nickson, was his father, and legal tutor, at the age of five , they would start living together , Daniel was told to not get attached to the experiment, he didnt obeyed and soon enough , 6052 was matriculated in school.

So that way his schoolar life would start at 6 years old in the school "Elementary school the Jaguars", he saw many species, but it didnt took him long to realize the main population consisted in humans, he saw very few others specimens like; Mh'in's , D'mœ's , Zw'eho's, etc.

He didnt saw anyone like him, but he was always told that since Yautjas where more energetic, they where on different kinds of schools.

His kind nature, made him quite easier to make friends, Ma'hek ka"hu, was his first friend, this was a slender kid with fur and floppy looking ears, curly hair and crocked teeth, his little fangs made them look like a vampire.

And his second friend was Chloe, who in that time was a small chubby little girl with really short hair, with time she would let it grow, since Ma'hek said "your hair is really pretty, i wonder if it gets bigger".

You would think that because of his kind nature, 6052 was particurlarly shy and not very sociable, well youre quite wrong, he is the kind of guy with that charming personality that if he wants to, can be the king of the party.

Daniel, was thinking about that one saturday evening, he was at home in his office organizing some documents, leaving everything ready for 6052's monthly medical revision.

The door of the office was open, his now 1.70 cm 16 years old son was there.

His hair long and braided, dressed with a dark green sport hoddie of his team and some shorts.

He was carrying his sport bag.

-"Hey mum, im leaving to the practice, i promise i will call you when im on my way home, bye love you!"-

As 6052 left the house to go practice Daniel shouted "Love you too" back and "Don't forget your entry card!".

Daniel couldnt help but chuckle as his gaze landed on a photo of Daniel Junior (6052) with his friends after obtaining second place on the Selective of Volleyball but even so they got to the finale.

They where so tired that time but so proud and he was proud too.

Western High was a good place, well it was the only public school in town the other two stablishments where private.

Daniel tought of how time practically flew out of his hands, and now the little creature he used to hold in his arms its now a teen boy to heavy for him to give him a piggy ride.

He thought about himself ¿was he being a good father? Somethimes he wondered if he was doing enough for his son.

He never denied him his other origin, and in fact at times Daniel junior had holo-calls with the donor used to give him life, a yautja male of 350 kg of pure muscle almost 230 cm tall called Knife, it was an ancient yautja, with many scars around his body, leader and supervisor of chivas, but even so 6052 was more made for human life, thats what knife communicated to daniel one time, he said "the boy, its too compationate for a hunter".

Daniel at times thought about those words, he didnt knew if it was bad or good, and if it was bad ¿was his fault? He has been too sweet? He has given him too much?.

When he commented his preocupations to his colleague Emily lee, she said "you have raised a good boy a healthy boy, a respectful and fuctional member of society, i belive you've done well", he also thought about those words while still sitting on his desk, at his office at home, those words ...he wondered if they where true, or if she was just trying to reassure him.

His mind wandered thinking in the past, a past he always tries to pretend it dosent exist, a past he tries to hide in a dark corner of his brain like if it was just a bad dream.

And the fact that acronym was still in his mind didn't helped him.

Those Letters "A.R.P" wich stands for "Alien Relocation Program", were fresh in his mind, he wasn't the kind of person who hated easily, but that name, made his blood boil and frezze at the same time, out of fear and rage, he remembered watching on live news when he was young, the places where the just arrived aliens lived, a marginal place, dirty, full of crime, he didn't understood why they where living there, if they had so much better tecnology, in his young brain it made no sense why they where living there, and why did "A.R.P" sent them there, ¿did they do something wrong?, he didn't knew.

One time he remembered asking his father "dad ¿why are the aliens in there?"

His father only gave him another of those spechs of how the aliens do not belong here on earth, how they where a pest.

"They come here only to cause harm"

His father said.

But to his restless mind that did not answer his question, he wanted to know why, he wanted to understand why , when he walked with his parents to the center to buy things, there where stores that didn't allowed "no humans" inside, he wanted to know why.

But no mattered how much he asked his questions where always answered with the same vague response of "they will only cause harm".

Eventually he stopped asking, he was young, nine years old in a world recovering from a global pandemic, going through two different wars at the same time on Asia and the middle east, and adapting to the arrival of extraterrestial's.

But he still wondered if it was necessary to hate, one day, when daniel was still young, he was riding his bicicle, and ride past two police officers acting with exesive force towards a Mh'in's, the Mh'in was clearly confused and scared , he despertaly wanted to help, but he felt way too scared to face the two adults alone, and just kept his way.

That moment, lives on his memory, one of his biggest regret's, was not helping him, he regret's every night of that, because he knows that if he wasn't around and his son was being harmed he would like someone to help him, to tend a hand on him.

He suddenly came back to reality, looked at the clock, 6:30 pm, 6052 must have already finished his practice.

¿Did he called to tell him?

Daniel, checked his holo-pad, and there it was, daniel jr. Did called, 3 times.

Daniel felt terrible, he was so lost in his memories he lost track of time and ignored the calls of his son.

He was about to return the call, when the access beep of the main door rang, and his son ran through it, desperately calling for him.

-"mom?! Mom?! Are you here?!"-

-"i'm here what happend?!"-

Daniel said answering to his son desperated calls.

-" oh thank's heavens...its just, well you always pick my calls or return my calls inmediatly, so..i got scared..."

6052 said while he catched his breath in relief.

Daniel walked towards his son and hugged him.

-"i'm sorry"-

He said felling terrible for scaring his son like that.

Daniel jr returned the hug -"it's okay mom, im just happy you're fine"-

Daniel then to change the subject said -"i will order pizza for dinner, i don't feel like cooking today, go shower, and then you tell everything about today"-

He said with a smile.

Junior. Smiled back and noded vigurosly.

He went shower and Daniel went to order the pizza.

Sorry for taking so long, my assigments have been really time consuming but i'll try to post more frecuently, take care.

[choconanime]

Rambling about Adami lore don't mind me

lil tibits i have for bsts adami as i got inspired watching anime with friends

Adami while having lawyer parent's,their very much like "if u have a dream seek it without our help especially the field your own, prove to us your worth it n well start sending money if needed" is harsh but is more like she doesn't always depend on them.

Adami office is actually located in a caffe shop! a friend ended up helping her out as they had a spare room in their coffee shop

This prolly explains her addiction to coffee n cinnamon rolls she wakes up n immediately start of her day eating them.

Her group consist: Of two assistant and one other detective, so two girls n one boy. She's the main leader+ with the new addition that Kiri join in once in a while to help on certain cases

She wants to research more about the Blackstar but if i make her the Mc,Kei prolly forbid her hence one of her assistant actually being hired by Kei to keep track of her to her dismay,she hasn't given up on looking more about it so she says Blackstar stuff it's just in hiatus ~~but she looks for clues with Kiri in her off day's~~

Kei and Heath call her Saki to hide her name so calling her saki it's like wrong either.

There's certain things she learned from certain members that should be obvious to the public eye, like she prolly learned Kei name earlier n that's where the talk of "don't search for anyone info, please adami" talk came from n as much as she hates it,she's a woman of her word n has not search further for any other boys info to her dismay+ she however told Kei she dislike they however can look for info, if she realized one of them has info she hasn't share with them she will target them specifically n she hopes that isn't an issue as it's only fair

hence i can see as the boys start caring for her, especially sussy man, they start searching less for her bcuz they don't want to get her in trouble for searching for them as they believe she's quite capable of searching.

Kiri sometimes help in other cases unrelated to Blackstar bcuz of her connections

Unrelated but enstars admai most people she contact are too are girl's

her introduction would prolly be slightly different from bsts

Like instead of a woman chasing her it was due clues+ wanting to find more n realizing one of her old clients she helped , zinnia works exactly on the place a lot of her clues lead here this pass few months but it seems when she got there Kei already was already expecting her to her dismay n it continue off as normal story went

her awkwardness come from the idea of how game saki is grounded n kinda serious but can be kind.

N I'm like imma steal that n make it adami twist of her serioness is actually her awkwardness with people but when she warms up she pretty much becomes motherly

adami i once again change what she's looking for LMAO i feel like. A child is to much of a high stake(bcuz i was gonna make it be she had a child) n seeing how slow this story is I'm giving lore it won't fit,i feel like smt less high stake

N i got an idea that it rounds back to blank place, as i was thinking more about how it worked i actually give a number of girls working there: 10 girl's,Io and Zinnia being one of them, she was working there in the first place because a customer reported a missing person who led her to the blank but by the time she got there the fire happen+ realize that every girl was there except the one girl she looking for, instead of leaving the blank alone she decided to help not only to find more clues but the situation the girls were in was...horrid.

N she still been working on this missing case on the sides,not knowing why it draw a her so much it wasn't till she learned the that this organization, the black card, that smt in her click in her concidendly she also received a card when she realize oh this dude ,Kiri dad, worked under them which led to today event's

Adami is someone even when when she isn't a saki she can easily still have good reason to be there hanging out bcuz all clues keep leading her to this damn place n instead of Kei warning her perhaps is Kasumi,someone who cares for zinnia a lot, understand that it seems Adami is someone Zinny really cares about, feels indebted in warning her to please watch out n don't go poking on people information (later being reinforced by Sin if zinnia chooses that route).

Adami feels like she seen TAKAMI before

TAKAMI: i don't think you have however many people think they met me before so I'm not surprised

Adami: mhm i see **doesn't believe him,she took of that**

TAKAMI: if that's all, excuse me have a good day **he knows that she knows she took note of that n doesn't believe him**

but also

takami ~~or kasum~~ kissing her n instead of getting shy bro my braincell barks at the idea of her while flsutered just traces her fingers accros where they kiss her n looking very pleased n they kinda dont expect that so they get flustered too

my brain is buzzing with anxiety so im oddly in the exact right space to binge through something (which i can usually NEVER do unless its video games) but not to like, analyze very well but anyway im enjoying the fallout show immensely. i expected id probably at least like it for the Hey Look, It's That Thing You Like references but its genuinely really engaging. im gonna try to say some things. i have like. 2 more episodes i think

i knew the ghoul was going to be my favorite the moment i knew there was a ghoul bc ghouls are always my favorite but he is. his storyline is so fascinating to me and i am So into him even though they could've done a way better job with his face. i realize im saying that and then not really talking about him that much but all my brain is giving me is "hes so fucked up i want him" so lets move on

the vault tec cult vibe is so strong and so well done. the contrast of "creepy isolated dystopia that thinks its the perfect society / this is the only fucking place left in the world that's clean and safe. people are nice to you. there's food that isn't, like, irradiated mystery organ slurry" vs the chaos and lawlessness of the wasteland, the brutality and ungodly horror of everyday life on the surface / the freedom of choice and expression and the Realness of it. is it better to be controlled but safe, living in a box but a clean well-supplied box, or to be free and know the truth and face Reality but have to live in squalor in constant danger. i feel like the moral questions and social commentary really vibes with the intentions of the fallout games from what ive played through so far, it's taking those thematic elements and expanding on it in a way that's really engaging and interesting.

i love our vault girl so much. she's sweet and sheltered and naive but she's not stupid. she's fucking Brave. she's determined. she believes in the good in people and believes in kindness to the core of her being not because she's brainwashed but because she's a genuinely good person who wants to fix things in a way vault tec never did. she's facing the destruction of everything she believed in and choosing in spite of it all, to stay kind anyway. she has been mocked and hurt and humiliated and degraded but still she chooses kindness. not because she feels like she has to. not because she's too dumb to know better. but because she believes in it. the "golden rule, motherfucker" moment ruined me

i still don't really understand what the brotherhood of steel is or does but i feel like this has at least given me a clearer concept of their culture and beliefs than ive ever gotten before. maybe i need to do a fallout 4 run siding with them to understand them better

i love well meaning dumbass brotherhood boy. ive forgotten his name because he keeps using "titus" which i know wasn't his name but he's cute

completely blindsided by matt berry mr. handy but then realized you know what, they're right, i could not imagine better casting without using the original voice. i love that for him. they did the "extremely politely murders the fuck out of you and then apologizes for the inconvenience" so well also

the gore is so fucking good they captured the casual but hilariously gratuitous violence excellently. we got limbs getting blown off. we got heads exploding. i love this. no notes

im just. im just so happy for good writing and an engaging storyline. so much of media these days suffers from absolute dogshit writing and i expected this to look cool and be sort of generically fun if you like fallout but mostly empty references, and i was completely wrong and i am so happy to be wrong

that said, where are the super mutants. where are the deathclaws. give me super mutants and death claws

"Do you have a boyfriend, Michaela?" asked Red abruptly.

That was one hell of a subject change. All chatter halted as everyone awaited my answer. The redhead looked at me like she seriously doubted it and I wanted to prove her wrong but I'd be lying big time.

"No."

"I've had three!" piped Bebe.

It was so hard not to cringe at that. Three ex-boyfriends. I haven't even had one! Do you just have more luck in a smaller town? Maybe being crammed into the same class over and over again with the same people gave you more time to get to know them... no, that didn't sound right.

"So who do you think is cute in our class?" questioned Wendy without flinching.

Oh my God. I didn't even know the names of the other three girls who sat at the table, but did that matter as much as which boy I thought had the best-looking face? Clearly not in this town.

"Well... no one. I just got here, like, yesterday!"

Turning in her seat, Wendy gestured to Kyle's table behind us.

"We can set you up with someone, right girls?"

"Right!" They all cheered in unison.

I couldn't help the grimace that came to my face. Several bodies, one mind, it seemed.

"Stan—the one with the blue pom pom hat—is mine, so keep your eyes off him."

The boys were getting rambunctious but out of all of them, Stan seemed to be the lone settled one.

"Red likes Craig, the one in the blue coat."

"Tolkien is taken, Oh! He's really nice that's too bad." Wendy murmured as if an afterthought. She continued to prattle off names with the other girls jumping in with commentary and my head spun trying to keep up. Why did it feel like they were talking in another language? Butters, Butters... I think that was the name of the kid who asked if the moon and sun were one during class. Jimmy...wait did Wendy say Jimmy or Timmy? Did she say both? She was pointing to a few boys across the cafeteria now. Bradley... Kevin.. I just couldn't keep up. I took a bite out of my sandwich so I didn't have to say anything.

"Bebe has been on and off with Clyde and Kyle. She just can't make up her mind! I think that's about it!"

Groaning inwardly, I tried to smile and nod. This was fucking torture.

Grinning wickedly, Wendy withdrew her hands and placed them back on the table's surface. She took a sip from her milk carton before continuing. "That leaves you with Kenny."

"Also Cartman." Heidi laughed. "You never know, he might be the one for you!"

Bursting into giggles, Bebe shoved her playfully. "Shut up! That's so mean, Heidi!"

Wendy was smirking along with the rest of the girls so it was hard to trust anything that came from her mouth. "Don't listen to her, Michaela. Kenny will be good for you. He isn't bad looking either."

I huffed. I had lost my patience. "Alright, listen," I said, standing up, "I don't know what your issue is with me, but I'm not dealing with this passive-aggressive, catty, mean girl bullshit. Either air out all your issues with me right now or shut the fuck up, okay?"

The entire table looked on in shock.

"Tolkien and Kyle both offered to let me sit with them, and I told them no because I really wanted to be friends with you girls. Silly me, huh? All you've done since I got here is do mean girl tactics and whisper catty remarks to my face thinking I wouldn't notice. Well, not anymore. Enjoy your lunch, girls."

I carried my tray and left, meeting Tolkien at his table. Thankfully, he made space for me and introduced me to his friends.

"Hey there," said a boy with messy brown hair, giving me a half-lidded glance. "What's going on?"

"Don't flirt with my cousin, Clyde!" snapped Tolkien.

I raised an eyebrow. "If that was flirting, then I don't think we have much to worry about."

Craig let out a few chuckles.

"Oh!" said a boy in yellow — Jimmy, I think that was his name. "Wow, what a great audience!"

I opened my milk carton with a huff.

"Is everything okay?" asked Tolkien.

I nodded. "Just girls acting like two-faced bitches."

"W-W-What else is n-new?" asked Jimmy.

"Just ignore them, you'll be fine," said Craig.

I glanced at the girls' table. Wendy was poking at her food, but Bebe and Heidi were giving me glares. The others were gesturing and writing on the table.

"I hope you're right."

adm lorren

It was late in the afternoon, but your shift was still a bit far from over. You were organizing some books by the end of a bookshelf hallway when you heard some muffled noises. You already knew what expected you once you got a look at it. But you did anyway, following the noises furtively until you reached the end of the section. This wasn't the first, hell, it wasn't even the fifth time you have caught on unscrupulous teenagers making out in the library. Were you as bad as them for watching and not do anything about it? Though what could you possibly do that didn't get you in deeper shit than you were already. So mostly you just watched as they relished on each other.

You weren't a puritan, hell you'd probably do the same if you had someone to it with. But really? The library? Couldn't they show a bit of respect for public places? Not to mention the mess they left behind, sometimes dropping a few books from the shelves. You even found a condom on the floor the other day. No need to mention that you had to be the one to put everything back in its place. You've asked your superiors to insert a camera on the more reserved areas of the library, trying not to mention the real reason but they kept giving you the same excuse about not having the money to install more security devices.

You didn't want to get in trouble with these people, so you did all you could do. You watch. This time the two troublemakers you recognized as other students from your school. You could swear that the boy was dating that girl's best friend. Maybe you got it wrong? You couldn't imagine someone having sex like this with a person that you don't bear any feelings for. Being locked up with thousands of books and fictional characters might have messed with your idea of relationships.

The way they moaned in unison when he pounded harder on her, and her hands tangled on his hair. The way her mouth fell open letting out deep breaths, again and again, it all started to make you feel warmer. You had to bite back a moan when your legs started to rub each other unconsciously. That was when the girl's eyes locked on yours and she started to moan louder as she could. You didn't break the eye contact or your movements only until the boy hissed,

"Are you insane? What are you doing?" He didn't stop pounding on her, but you did get out of your trance.

"We have company." The girl said and you started to retreat in the hallway, maybe you could get away?

"What are you doing? I'm close!" The boy hissed at the girl, but still, she pushed him away and went down the hallway after you.

You were still so dizzy for getting caught that you only realized she had reached you when she held a tight grip to your wrist and pushed you against a bookshelf,

"You go to the same high school as we don't you?" she asked in a friendly tone. You didn't see a point in denying it, so you just nodded at her. She exchanged a look with the boy and then he cornered you side by side with her. "You were enjoying the show weren't you?"

"I-I I didn't see anything," You stammered before looking at your feet in shame.

"Oh come on no need to lie, we're among friends, aren't we?" the girl was still holding you by your wrist and the boy did the same with the other one.

His free hand touched your belly first before he made its way down your skirt then under it until he reached your panties that were soaked. You had no idea how to react to it, ware you really ok with that? Did you want it? You were too surprised to have a clear answer on your mind.

"Come on now." The girl was still acting sweet as if you two were longtime friends, though you were sure she has never been more than a bitch to you. Didn't she remember all the mean things she's been harassing you with since the beginning of high school? You were still too taken aback to have a reasonable reaction. She took you by your hand and guided you back to the end of the hallway "Get on your knees." You simply did as she said. The boy was now taking his place in front of you, getting his -still hard- dick out of his pants. Now you had a reason to be terrified. It was written all over your face "Oh, I guess you have never done this before, am I right? Just open your mouth and mind your teeth, he'll do the rest" and just like that you did as she said.

The boy started thrusting hard inside your mouth until the tip of his cock was hitting the back of your throat while your eyes started to water from the suffocating feeling. Was this really supposed to feel nice? You were having your doubts about it. He wasn't lying when he said that he was close, a few more thrusts and he came all over your face with a low groan. You had your eyes closed, afraid his cum had reached them. First came the flash, blinding you through your eyelids, then the 'click' from the picture being taken. You opened your eyes wide, not minding about the cum in your face, your eyes were back on watering as soon as she held the picture against your face, grinning down at you.

"She looks cute, doesn't she? At least better than the usual look." she showed the screen to the boy before turning her attention back at you. "Now, this is an assurance that you won't tell anyone about any of this." She spoke clearly. You couldn't bare look at her face, so you just looked aside and nodded. With this, they started to walk away. "I can't believe you came on her. You're gross." You heard her say as they left as you remained there, crying in disgust of yourself until you finally managed to gather our forces to clean yourself and get back to work.

You didn't manage to go to school in the next few days. Your mother was always working on the hospital shifts, so when the school called to check on you, you pretended to be her. But this was something you couldn't do with your job. Lucky, you managed to keep yourself hidden among the shelves for most part of the time. As hard as it could be, you eventually had to go back to school, but for now, you decided to stick with the hiding. The mere thought of having people's eyes around you made your skin crawl in a dozen different ways. Sticking to your plan, about a week after that mess, you were again surrounding the unattended shelves in the back of the library when you glimpsed the same couple making out again. Your wish was to throw the immense bookshelf on them, but you probably weren't strong enough to do it. So you just watched. Although this time was different. You felt nothing but hate and disgust within yourself. You wished that they'd just die already. As if someone could hear your thoughts, they were dead in a horrendous way in the next second.

It all happened so fast. A dude with light blue hair and stitches all over himself walked past the two and touched them. "You two lack manners." That was all he said before their bodies began to contort and change until they were completely unrecognizable, not to mention the blood coming out of all their eyes, nose, mouth, and ears. You covered your mouth to make sure you didn't make a sound that caught the guy's attention. You were shaking from head to toe. What the hell just happened? The absence of moves or sounds made it very clear that the man probably left.

This was your chance. To get your dignity back. They just got what they deserved right? You've heard what he said, they lacked manners.

Taking a look around to make sure no one else witnessed what happened and what was about to happen, you walked closer to the deconfigured bodies and started to search for the girl's phone. Your body was washed in relief when you found it. You had just unlocked the phone screen when an arm ran itself around your neck. Suddenly you forgot how to breathe. With the corner of your eye, you glimpsed the light blue hair. How did he get so close to you that you didn't hear? Your hands shook so much that you ended up dropping the phone, which he picked up and started to roll over the gallery that you had just opened. Your eyes were wide staring at the man. Only then Mahito realized that you could see him.

"O-oh can you see me? That's nice, most of them can't." You didn't answer or screamed. Your body was paralyzed in fear. "Hmmm... What a cutie, this you?" He turned the phone so that you could see the picture on the screen. You were now sobbing, completely unaware of what was about to happen with your life. "Humans are funny. I just killed two kids, that are around your age... and you're worried about this?" Was this supposed to make you feel sad? Because it didn't. They were dead already, the only thing you could do was to get yourself out of this mess right? "How about that, you come with me and I'll teach you a few things or.. you can end up like these two. Your choice." Your heart was pounding on your ears, you weren't sure you could formulate an answer, but he pushed you through "I need an answer" he sang.

"I-I ca-can't leave right now. I-I'm on m-my shift." You tried to get the best of the situation.

"Ohhh come on, it will be fun, I promise! I bet you can make an excuse. You don't want to end up like this, do you?" Your head was working on a thousand percent, trying to figure a way out of this. "Look, I'll give you an assurance." He said before closing his hand around the cell phone, when he opened it, there was just dust. Now, this part went better than expected. How bad can it be? You either die right now or buy yourself some time.

"I-I'll figure something out." You stammered at him.

"Good girl, I'll be waiting outside." He said in a sympathetic tone before adding in a darker one "Don't try anything. I'll know." And with that, he vanished.

You did your best trying to recompose yourself. You came to your superior and told him that you didn't feel fine, you'd try to catch your mother still at the hospital so that she could make a check-up on you. He quickly agreed to it, acknowledging that you were paler than usual.

Walking out of the building, the curse had his arm around your neck in a second. He guided you through the crowded streets and then into a sewer. He kept mumbling things about humans and souls which didn't make any sense, so you just kept it to yourself.

"Tadaa welcome to my happy place." Only then he let go of you, making a long gesture with his arm to present you his 'happy place', which consisted of a hammock, a mattress, and some piled-up books that immediately caught your attention. You walked closer to them to take a good look at the titles.

"A sewer?" You asked trying to sound as comfortable as you could, pretending you weren't in a killer's hideout. You opened one of the books finding the ex-libris of the library you worked in. Another one, same ex-libris. "You know, I could lose my job over those." You threw them back at the pile.

"Don't worry about your job, I'm about to expand your world in a lot of different ways." He sat down on the mattress and patted his side for you to join him and you followed his command.

The next few hours carried so much information that you started to feel dizzy at some point. You thought he was just being insane at first, but then he started to show you what he could do and suddenly the world didn't seem the same anymore. You two were lying on the mattress now. But there was still something bugging you. You didn't feel like asking out loud, still, you had to.

"Why are you telling me all this?" You turned your head to face the curse only to meet his heterochromatic eyes that have been starring at you for a while now.

"Why shouldn't I? It's because of people like you that I'm here." Was that supposed to be a compliment? Anyways, it was true. "I also get bored to just run around with curses, and not everyone can see me."

"Right... I should be on my way now, they probably found the bodies already. People will be looking for me." You said before trying to make a motion.

Mahito turned aside so that he was completely facing you "Nooo don't leave now. There is so much more I can teach you.." It was your turn to face him, laying on your elbows. You had realized by now that he was real eye candy and he's been nothing but cherish about you keeping him company. He was now playing dumbly with the strands of your hair. This was wrong on so many levels that you couldn't count. The next thing he said only aggravated even more, "You know... another reason to bring you here was that picture of yours." You felt like throwing up from the humiliation. You didn't need any more of this. You made a motion to stand your ground, visibly upset by his words but Mahito held a grip behind your neck keeping you still.

He was staring at your eyes and you felt scared about what was to come. But then he just loosened the grip and started running his hand smoothly on your hair. He leaned closer to whisper on your ear, "You didn’t seem to have enjoyed yourself... but I could show you some enjoyable things." ending with a kiss at the nape of your neck that unexpectedly, helped you loosen up a bit. Mahito caught on to it and did it again. Your eyes were shut close as your mind tried to keep yourself reasonable.

His lips moved from your neck to your jawline, stopping face to face with you, only then you opened your eyes, staring at his, not sure about what did that meant. He connected his lips to yours like a magnet and his tongue was immediately pressing your lips for passage. Once you conceived him, his tongue was laced with yours sending shivers down your spine. You've never kissed anyone like that before. You still weren't certain what to do. It was almost as if you were possessed, your fingers ran the way up to his pale strands of hair tugging some of it. That turned the curse even more on. He pressed his body against yours, his hands on your hips griding you on his crotch. The sudden movement made you break the kiss in exasperation but he didn't let go of you. His lips were plump and swollen against the skin of your neck again, alternating between languid licks and nibbling. You let out a loud moan when he pressed his warm tongue in a specially sensitive spot.

Skilled fingers started to unbutton your shirt, his mouth all around the new skin being shown. In the meanwhile, your trembled fingers found their way under his sweater, tracing his abs very coyly letting out a groan from the feeling of his well-built shape. He giggled at your reaction "Do you want me to take that off?", you nodded, not minding the enthusiasm you let it show. And you didn't have to show it twice, he quickly pulled his sweater off of his head and was back on kissing you in no time. He couldn't deny that he was enjoying it. By the end of this, you might be worshiping him, making yourself clear how much you needed him. He hadn't made up his mind yet about what to do to you once he was finished. Maybe he'd spare you for a second time. He wasn't lying when he said he got bored by just running around with the other curses. And his former pastime was gone now. Who knows? If you keep behaving as he expects...

Big hands fondling with your breasts still covered. Letting go of your lips, his mouth was tracing down your chest. No nibbling this time, Mahito gave you a sharp bite on top of your mounds, sucking on the tender skin. It was time to move past playtime. That was leaving a mark for sure, but he felt even more complied to add more to the view when you didn't protest against it. Tugging your bra down, his hot tongue was circling your hardened nipple. Your fingers locked on his messed hair making him humm against your skin whenever you clenched harder. His teeth threatening to shut themselves around your nub as he looked up at you with a mischievous grin on his face that made you roll your eyes to the back of your head. When your eyes faced forward again, he has facing you now with a cocky smile on his lips that he knew would melt you down.

"Get on your knees for me will 'ya?" He started caressing your back up and down with both hands when he felt you tense up against him, "Ohh come on, you're enjoying it aren't you?" you deviate your look from his pleading eyes but he caught your chin between his fingers forcing you to look back at him, and the pout he was making. It was clear that you weren't comfortable with it, but it was Mahito, he didn't give a shit about it. He'd persuade you into whatever he wanted. His thumb caressed your cheek before his hands held you by your shoulders, pushing you down "Come on now." he said in a demanding tone this time just enough for you to know that he wasn't taking no for answer. You swallowed hard, your cheeks getting redder than they have been during your make-out session. You let him guide you down onto your knees between his legs. He took a sitting position and lifted his hips just enough to free his hard member from his trousers.

That is going to be a hard task, you thought to yourself. He was way bigger than the guy from the library, and you still weren't sure what to do. Your hands rested on the front of your tights, twitching and pinching your legs in a sign of anxiety for what was to come. Noticing them, Mahito took them in his hands and placed them on his tights. He bent down maintaining eye contact with you the entire time, delivering a sweet kiss on your lips encouraging you before retrieving back.

"Open up." He requested and you obliged. His thumb brushing your lower lip before sliding in your mouth, pressing against your tongue. You gave a shy suck, but it was clear that it wouldn't be enough. He unceremoniously inserted another finger, making a motion for you to suck them harder. Once you got a hang of it, he retrieved his hand and placed it on the top of your head, gripping tightly on your hair. His other hand held your chin, making you open your mouth again, still facing up to him. He spat some droll into your mouth, which made you feel filthy in all the best ways, your legs clenching together in despair.

Pretending not to see it, he guided you to his cock, you gave a small lick on his leaking tip, tasting the sour of precum, but then you opened your mouth as wide as you could, minding your teeth. The grip on your hair was still, bobbing your head up and down his shaft as he kept giving you reassuring words of how good you were doing. That gets you to loosen up a bit, your hands started to run up and down his tights, squeezing them very softly, dragging your nails on them very temptingly, as you felt him twitch against your tongue. You knew what it meant, and you'd be smiling at your act if you could. It wasn't so bad anymore, you were starting to enjoy it. Soon your hands were sharing the task of taking as best as you could, gripping on what wouldn't fit on your mouth as Mahito kept instructing you, "Use your tongue now." he commanded and you swirled your tongue, earning a lustful moan from him. You couldn't help but draw one of your hands down your tights. "A-aa-ah put your hands behind your back" you whined at his command but gave in to it. He used your t-shirt that was long forgotten to tie your wrists together, it was enough just to keep them in place. You were at his full mercy now.

The move he made to get a hand full of your ass made him go deeper down your throat. Then, his hands were back on the sides of your head, getting fists full of your hair. He pulled you completely from him, drool running down your chin, the look on your fucked out face made his cock twitch hard. He stuck his tongue out and you followed his lead doing the same. He lined you up to his balls and maneuvered your face all over, your nose brushing against his shaft. Looking up with your teary eyes, you could see Mahito enjoying every bit of it. You started to suck his balls and he was whining like a schoolboy. You felt immensely empowered by it. When he realized it, his devilish smirk was all over his face again. "Now, are you going to be a good girl and swallow it all?" He pushed your head from his balls just giving you a second to nod at him, and he was back pounding on your mouth, but this time, much more roughly. He was facefucking you, making you choke every time he thrust down your throat. His hand wrapped itself around your neck "Try to relax your tongue" He said between breaths. You did your best and apparently, it worked, he was going even further now, nonstop. You could feel his fingers around your neck pressing against his shaft and it felt delicious. Your eyes were just rolling from the back of your head when his hot cum hit the back of your throat making you choke and try to catch your breath, but he held you still until he emptied himself to the last drop.

When he retrieved it, he could see your face properly. Dark tears from the makeup marking your face, which was glowing with the amount of droll and cum. He thought that it would make a far better picture and grinned to himself. He pulled you back up, untying your hands on the process, you wrapped your arms around his neck as you straddled him, diving in for a desperate kiss. In which Mahito delighted himself, sucking on your tongue with emphasis. His hands groping your ass tightly under your skirt, getting you to hiss on his mouth as Mahito kept smirking at your despair. His fingers fondling with the tissue on the sides of your panties before start sliding them very slowly, ever so teasingly. Once you were off of them, he pressed his fingers on your slit, catching on the large amount of wetness that gathered already. Your face was flushed when he sucked on his wet fingers before making you do the same. You felt so hot like you'd combust at any point now.

Feeling merciful at that moment, Mahito quitted the foreplays and threw you on your back on the mattress with little delicacy. Making you take your rightful place, beneath him. The look that he was now giving you, on what he was about to do scared the shit out of you,  but not enough to even make you stutter. In fact, a shiver ran so hard on your spine that you arched your back as he positioned himself between your legs, resting loosely around his waist. You thought that you could never be more worked up for this moment. That said, you almost came when he pushed himself inside you, the scratch was enough to make your eyes water. Your legs closed themselves occasioning your pussy to clench even harder around Mahito, earning a lustrous moan from him. He spread your legs as wide as he could before start moving. He had to make little effort to hit all your spots making you see stars and keep whining under him. Your hands flattened against his torso trying to make him slow down, though his pace wasn't nearly enough. It was just too much. And he knew it. Once he started to bottom in and out of you, his fingertips embedded on the flesh of your tights didn't take long for you to start quivering under him, moaning obscenely as he rides you through your first orgasmic wave. Mahito himself was panting as your tight pussy kept squeezing him more than he thought was possible.

Though you were breathless and feeling wasted like never before, barely through the ecstasy, Mahito turned you around so that you were facing the mattress. He placed his hand under your lower belly, pushing your ass up and the other forcing your head against the cushion. He was back pounding on you in no time. You let out a loud groan in response to the overstimulation, but he kept you through relentlessly. The loud slaps of his skin hitting against yours echoed through the sewers. Mahito's hand came down hard on your ass, getting you to clench hard around him as a soft moan left your lips.

"Ohh so you like that, huh?" You barely heard his question. He slapped you even harder this time. "I want an answer." He bowed to whisper on your ear, stopping his movements. You pushed your hips back, trying to get him to move, though he didn't.

"Ye-Yes, please. Ju-just don't stop." You managed to reply back through harsh breaths.

"Your wish is an order." He sing-sang, kissing under your earlobe before going back thrusting on you.

Another slap and there was now a handprint covering your asscheek. But Mahito was just enjoying himself too much to care about it. You can't deny that so were you. Your toes curled as your fingers twisted the mattress beneath your hands. You couldn't hold much longer. Mahito had to hold you up when your legs failed you when another earthshaking orgasm hit you. He didn't stop until he was finished, painting your walls white. You fell back on the mattress as soon as he let go of you, laying by your side. His cum was slipping from your cunt, along some blood. And being the nasty subject that he was, he drew his fingers back to your pussy, spreading it out, making an even greater mess. Your mind was still a blur but still, you blushed harder and tried to get his hands away from you. He found it sweet and gave you a gentle kiss, more than any other in that night.

His arms wrapped around your waist, keeping you close to him. In the meanwhile, the reality was striking back down on you. What now? Were you a hostage? You weren't sure if you wanted to know the answers to those questions, but you couldn't stay there forever.

"Mahito..." He didn't let you finish your sentence.

"I know, you gotta go." He pouted ever so sweetly at you. Made you want to kiss him, but the lack of an answer was still driving you insane. Abruptly he stood up and offered you a hand to do the same. You took it hesitantly, "I'll walk you home. Who knows what kinds of freaks can be wandering around." you tried to hold back a relief sound. And started to put your clothes back on. You cleaned yourself with a blanket, and there was just one piece missing.

"Have you seen my panties?" You asked Mahito. He shoved a hand on his back pocket and took it out waving it in your sight. But then when you raised a hand to pick it up, he put it back on his pocket.

"I'll give it back next time you come around." That sure wasn't an invitation. It was a warning, and there was no denying it.

He wrapped his arm around your neck and started to walk yourselves out of the sewer and to your home.
