Here it is. A Piece Of Borrower Content Written Entirely In Stream Of Consciousness:

AN: so this is incomplete and very…needs revisions to the timeline to incorporate some things I added later! It’s the original universe that Mira’s from! I edited it like Slightly to just change Ross’s name to Ross (if u see Max anywhere that’s his old one I just felt like changing it so that’s just him but different. Anyway) Everything's under the readmore tab, cheers!

The Library Fairy:

Basic Plot (Chrono, comic starts from human perspective abt the ‘legend of the library fairy’ ig maybe. Nothing here is permanent cept the characterization)

Part A

1- Mira is borrower currently chillin in a college library

2- She lives off of the cafe on the second floor nd reads lots and lots of stuff about everything when the upper floors close (lower floor open 24/7 but upper floors r vacant p much after 12:00 AM)

3- she starts getting increasingly curious about human stuff cos she’s literate nd books r pry neat

4- it starts one night when she spots an unattended notebook and a half eaten blueberry muffin, nd it’s 12:30 so nobody’s coming back in atm (it’s the 80s so no laptops for the plebians quite yet)

5- so she goes ‘welp’ nd takes part of the muffin, then sees the work on the page and goes ‘hmmmm this is incorrect’ so she helps our and leaves notes here n there to point the kid in the right direction and puts down some book refs for further study bcos at this point she’s been there for 2 years and she knows where most things are

6- she stays behind to see if the human comes back for it, hidden in a hidey hole near the desk

7- human comes in, sees notebook, practically melts w relief nd stuffs it in his bag

8- next day human comes back nd leaves nother notebook and a cookie, along w a hidden camera

9- Mira goes ‘o boy, this a trap, innit’

10- Mira then decides ‘eh whatever I haven’t had contact w anyone in years now so I might as well’

11- she steals the camera film nd leaves a lil scrap of paper saying ‘nice try ;)’ on it

12- student comes back, sees paper, goes ‘dammit’, then leaves note addressed to the ‘library fairy’ and another cookie, as well as more of their work for her to help with

13- bout a decade goes by and now the “Library Fairy” is an urban myth, it’s currently 2003 so she’s also wound up on the school’s unofficial Wikipedia page under ‘local cryptids’

14- most library employees know of her but they don’t go looking out of fear stemming from superstitions bout her, somehow the legend grew from ‘can’t be photographed’ to ‘a student once saw her and died that day’

15- there’s now a small shrine devoted to her where ppl bring offerings hoping to get good grades in return, sometimes they will leave papers for her to proofread nd stuff

16- new prof (named Alexei) finds online article thinks he Knows What’s Up bcos he had a borrower friend as a kid, but they left when borrower’s fam found out about them knowing each other

17- he leaves note wedged in one of her secret entrances behind outlet, asking if she can meet w him at some point

18- Mira, already In it, goes ‘Okay. Alright. This has gone on for long enough. Time to go and never return’ but ofc she’s curious as all hell and like she decides she will at least honor the guy’s request for a convo b4 she goes, but on her terms and w/o speaking face 2 face

19- they Talk in the library after hours, bcos he paid off the janitor to let him stay after hours nd most of the student employees recognize him as a prof nd leave him alone

20- they talk again for every subsequent night

21- she uhhhh finally decides to reveal herself nd prays that her hunch was right nd he won’t try to grab her or anything

22- he doesn’t but she’s nervous so she winds up gettin caught in her own climbing rope like idiot, is now dangling from ceiling in tangled mess

23- he stifles chuckle nd she says smthn sarcastic

24- he moves closer and offers to untangle her

25- she’s like ‘please’

26- so he do, but her grip on the rope slips nd he has to catch her

26- so now she’s in his hand and he just sets her down and now he’s a bumbling embarrassed mess bcos he said he wasn’t going to hold her and he just did and o dear pls forgib him

28- nd she’s like ‘dude u just saved my life it’s fine ur fine chill’

29- internally she’s going HOLY FUCK AAAAAAA but externally, her human’s already worked up enough as it is so she’s gotta b the level headed one

29.5- after a while they both kinda get used to each other more, he gets tenure, they celebrate, some more stuff happens, Aleksei got married (not to Mira, Mira hasn’t actually rly thought about being in a relationship w anyone cos she’s laser focused on gaining as much knowledge as possible)

30- eventually Alexei’s like ‘hey so I’m dean of faculty for the biotech branch now uhhhh would u like actual job teaching students? Cos, uh, you can do it remotely thru online lectures n stuff, no in person interaction, and I uh was just kinda wondering—‘

31- she’s like ‘yes. Yes!!! LET ME HELP PEOPLE OFFICIALLY KINDA’

32- so now she’s a professor, and has revealed her Secret a few times here n there to a number of the faculty, nd she has recorded her own findings in a personal journal

33- ‘humans will treat u like a human if they think ur human first. The kids call it ‘catfishing’’

34- enter Ross, an mall goth who accidentally tripped headfirst into a premed program

35- Mira’s favorite field of study is bio so naturally she’s his prof for a majority of his classes

36- being the good boy that he is, he now knows Mira’s secret. There is an Entire Chapter on him finding out and legit just continuing their conversation as if everything was normal bcos he thought that was how he was supposed to handle the situation

37- then she says ‘u can ask questions, u know’ he’s like OH THANK FUCK CAUSE I HAVE SEVEN HUNDRED OF THOSE

38- and now he kinda knows what to look for in terms of ‘do borrowers live here check yes or no’

39-in his apartment, the answer is yes and he mistakenly kinda stumbles upon the mom one night when he wakes up in the middle of the night for Snack and opts to pretend like its not happening. Unfortunately the thing she was trying 2 borrow (piece of crumb cake for Son Boy’s birthday) is the thing he wants 2 eat so he’s like “uh. ‘Scuse me, ma’am.” and he peels back the saran wrap on the other side of the plate, takes piece, nd then leaves some there for her

40-so now the woman is like ‘welp guess it time 2 Leave’

.1- she and husband Talk

.2-they decide it best 2 go

.3-theyre Packing

.4-lil bab Ellie confused

.5-hawk attacke

.6-cut to Ross

41- Ross also happens to work at a bar and he goes outside for a break

43- he finds smal child—smol smal—on the sidewalk and said child is missing an arm, nd has lost a lot of blood, so he’s uhhhhh Losing It highkey

43.5-parents r nowhere 2 b seen, but the hawk is nearby and circling. Ross gets an idea of what just happened

44- he up and leaves work, thankfully his apartment is above the shop so he jumps up the fire escape w the child and

45- he make tourniquet

46- he calls Mira nd asks her 2 come over to ASAP. he’s A Mess at this point

47- it is Very touch and go, kid needs blood, Mira is the only viable donor so she’s just gotta pray that the blood type is fine and won’t kill him

48- and then eventually they manage 2 stave infection thru antibiotics properly dosed to his size, Mira does Math and Prays basically

49- ‘bout a month in, kid wakes up

50- kid doesn’t rember much since he’s only 3

51- hes v scared of Ross at first but over time he gets used 2 the human

52- kid (elliot) starts 2 call Ross ‘dad’ after a while

53- Ross: *internal screaming but in a good way*

54- the end kinda for now

Part 2

A- New Borrowers In The Building

—three of em. paranoid dad, mom, nd daughter that’s Elliot’s age so he’s pumped

B- Elliot offers them a place 2 stay briefly

C- he knows by now bout like, how borrowers don’t typically interact w humans and Auntie Mira’s a bit of a weird case so he just doesn’t tell em bout his dad being the human

D- the kid finds out first nd doesn’t tell the parents, but they figure it out later kinda and think that it’s a ‘o god he’s being kept as a pet’ sitch so they’re >:| abt it

E- they move out and try to take Elliot w them (by force bcos they think he’s brainwashed) but he escapes and makes it to Ross, who’s like “uhhhhhh”

F- and the mom come out the hole near the counter n starts yelling at Ross, who is…kinda used to it since Mira brings in ppl who need help from time 2 time and they typically don’t react well when they’re lucid enough to understand what’s going on. He’s just not used to being questioned about his own kid

G- so they’re like “WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’RE DOING WITH HIM”

H- and he’s like “r…raising him???”

I- and Ellie steps up and he’s like “this is my dad. I decided he was my dad when I was three. He’s being a good parent”

J- and Ross is like “yeah what he said. I’m a good parent.”

K- Ross is riding that high til the end of fucking time but like back to the story at hand

L- this is when the husband comes out nd is like “lissen. wifey. ily but that is a very big human and he hasn’t grabbed us yet so let’s count our blessings and gtfo”

M- but she’s like “uh no we stay until I’m sure Elliot is Safe and fucking Sound”

N- so they stay for dinner nd stick around a little longer.

O- Val (the kid) gets closer 2 Elliot and also Ross a bit

P- Mira shows once or twice, first time she shows up they’re like “oh god it’s the crazy doctor lady this all makes sense now” (bcos Mira does check up on as many borrower families as possible in her free time so word has got around by now Of her, and the number by which to contact her in case her services r needed)

Q- After a month or so, then they decide to leave bcos they’re like “look we get that ur son is ur son and he only has one arm and in our profession that is kind of a death sentence but we can’t have our kid getting used to dealing w humans who know about our existence” so they go and leave on a kind of sour note bcos Ellie can do anything he wants to do just as well as any other borrower Thank You Very Much and Ross is ready to fite anyone who thinks otherwise

R- Elliot starts trying 2 b more independent, basically from now on he’s like ‘I can do everything my Damn Self Thanks’

S- but uh he does it to a point where he’s going out of the way to endanger himself

T- so they get into a fite about it and ross Yells and Elliot is like ‘kthxbye’

U- and the boi just. Fuckin bolts. Runs Away. Ross is a Mess, he starts smoking again (he quit cold turkey the day he took Elliot in) to curb the depression, he’s jus. Not doin good, worried that his son is dead and the last time they talked it’d ended badly

V- FREEDOM!!!1! Except Ellie doesn’t kno how to take care of himself so it’s a rough month or so and then he runs into some other borrowers livin in their own town in the wild ig, chillin, being hella independent, and he’s like “uh yes ofc I will join u, I was w my dad for a while but.........” he neither confirms nor denies that his dad’s dead but everyone kinda just assumes.

Part 3

W-anyway a year goes by and then the borrower group gets hit hard w some kind of sickness ig. Elliot gets it too he’s basically incapacitated n drifting in and out of lucidity. So. They contact the weird crazy doctor lady who hangs around humans, a.k.a. Mira, and she’s like “oh. fuck. I know this kid.” bcos she does, u kno, and she jus treats em all for their ailment and shows them how to make antibiotic poultice thing in case smthn like it happens again. Mold. Penicillin is basically what it is

X-she and Elliot hav a Chat (Mira basically yells at him a lot) once he’s fixed up and he decides he’s gonna visit his dad but he makes it very clear that he is a Grown Up (he’s not, he’s literally sixteen), and he is living on his own now

Y- he agrees to stay for a week tho since he misses his home a lot tbh and Ross is just. Over the fucking moon to know he’s ALIVE, he’s not gonna fuck up their relationship by insisting that he stay. Or like, by keeping him ofc he would never

Z- unfortunately the borrower community put two and two together and figured out his dad’s human so they have his stuff packed up when he gets back w mira, who’s ready to go the fuck off on them

End 1:

-Ellie is living at Ross’s place atm and hopeful about the future basically. He eventually will go off on his own but he’ll keep in contact w his dad and stuff

Part C.5

55- few yrs later

56- elliot is Adult now he does adult borrower stuff

57- he moves out

58- finds nice borrower gf (her name’s Tess)

59- doesn’t tell her about his dad being human but talks about his dad a LOT

60- so when she asks to meet said father he’s just like “uh. Maybe we don’t do that actually”

61- and she’s like “y tho”

62- and he’s like “bcos”

63- anyway she decides to look into it cos she knows he goes to see his dad nd keep in touch but his dad is allegedly “a recluse who lives in the big scary human’s walls to avoid other ppl”

64- which is. Not true in the slightest tbqh he’s def not an introvert he’s just a workaholic and he Is the big scary human

65- anywho they run into Val and her wife and she’s like “how’s Ross been?” And Elliot is acting Very Suspish so she, being Smart, calls it immediately and is like “oh shit u haven’t told her yet have u”

66- Tess: “told me what”

67- Val: “El’s dad is a human, bro.”

68- Tess: “I’m sorry?”

69- this results in a Big Fight and they separate for like, a month. Elliot blames Val bcos he’s being irrational and doesn’t wanna admit to the fact that lying to his girlfriend for over a year was Real Bad Actually, but over time he’s like ‘yeah it’s my fault sry for snapping at u’ cos he works thru his emotions n stuff

70- Eventually gf comes back cos she’s like “ok so. I understand why you lied to me about your dad. It was a dick move but I do get it and I still care about you a lot. I would like. To meet him.”

80- this is a lie she does not want to meet him she is doing this bcos she does not want to lose Elliot and that outweighs the fear of his dad

81- so they go to meet him but she’s just kinda. Behind the wall at first like “that’s a crazy big human this is crazy ur crazy it’s time to gO”

82- Val is also there bcos she hasn’t seen Ross in a while

83- they eventually coax her out of hiding

84- and by that I mean Val picks her up and drags her out into the open by force bcos she basically freezes up the second she catches sight of Ross and Val’s like “u didn’t come all this way for nothing, bich”

85- they have a Painfully Awkward First Meeting, Tess is trying her best but oh god he’s just too fucking. Larg. Ellie ur dad too big

86- tbh tho the ice kinda breaks after Ellie and Ross get into a fight over smthn stupid (im thinking Elliot grumbles bout Ross’s hair being unruly and he’s worried that mira’s using it like a personal storage system again and Ross is like “I’ve been keeping better track of that actually” and then like a little line of paper clips and a few hand-bound notebooks tied together w some string fall out of his fucking mane and he’s like “I can explain”

87- “dad you can’t keep letting her use your hair like a fucking NEST”

88- Tess is laughing now cos god damn this was not what she was expecting

89- that’s it the end it ends w Tess laughing at them being idiots good times r had by all

Uhhhh that’s it so far. I have More but it’s kinda jumbled rn and I need to fit stuff in places. Anyway.

#was gonna make this into a comic lawl #if I like actually manage to get off my ass over the coming weeks I probably will be able to do that! but yeah #also this was once posted b4 and I deleted it but it’s back now say hellow #Library Fairy #oc: Mira #oc: Ross #oc: Elliot #oc: Tess #oc: Val #oc: Alexei #anyway yeah here it is behold #the uhhhhh most slice of life thing I have ever created

Let’s talk TroPreCure! (^∀^ 🌺)

i’m so stupidly proud of this dumb pun “tropurikyua~”, hahahahaha

Last post of the year and wow is there are lot to be excited for!

I even had to make a list for the stuff I want to talk about and I’m sure I already forgot one or two things but we’ll get to them as we continue to float~ along the wave to February 28th, mmkay? :)

Now for what has peaked my interest so far. And yes, we have to talk about the following first:

1) HealPre the shortest Precure season??

Unless they plan for double features in February (which I doubt but you never know), HealPre is likely going to reach only 45 episodes long instead of the usual 48~50 before TroPre I’m using this shortening of the title for now so if there’s a better alternative, tell me and I’ll switch out begins its broadcast.

Understandable because the producers probably want to get back to their normal scheduling as soon as possible (toy sales, y’know) and I suspect pushing the start of the new season back by a month is the most they’re willing to compromise.

As for me, I’m quite happy about this since HealPre’s lost its hold on my attention a while ago so the sooner TroPre gets here, the better. Though the downside might be a scrambled climax and a rushed, underwhelming ending for HealPre (I dunno if it’s January’s titles that feel a bit messy or if the hiatus is still throwing me off) but whatever. We’ll refresh ourselves with the new blood Cures so it’s all good.

2) Tropical movie announced for Autumn 2021, no All Stars??

(source)

First saw this mentioned on Youtube somewhere but it’s all over the fandom forums by now. I mean, HealPre’s movie is set for March, the usual time slot for All Stars release. If Toei intended for there to be an All Stars in 2021, there’s no way they would announce the seasonal movie before it so speculations of them skipping it this year are probably true.

To squeeze it somewhere between March and October-ish would force them to readjust their budgets as well and I don’t think even Toei wants to go through that extra hassle after all the trouble the pandemic’s caused for everyone already. It’s just easier to resume All Stars in 2022.

That, and I think Laura being a major character in TroPre despite not having a Cure title (yet) would make for an awkward situation when the three latest teams gather so perhaps that’s also one of the reasons. But I’ll get back to Laura in a bit.

3) Cure Summer is a RAINBOW Cure

So god help me if I see anyone calling her a Pink Cure.

Yes, she’s the lead Cure for this season. NO, she is not a Pink Cure.

Look, even the official website has a rainbow overlay for her profile pic and text font while everyone else’s respective theme colors are a solid hue:

Therefore, RAINBOW.

In promotional material and merchandising, they’re probably going to advertise her primarily with pink bah and at worst, she might occasionally be labeled as a White Cure with multiple subcolors (her outfit is not pink-dominant) but definitely NOT. PINK.

...also, this goes without saying but f***yea, we finally got a lead Cure practically and unabashedly wearing the LGBTQ flag and you cannot tell me otherwise, Toei!

Own up to it! Declare Manatsu/Cure Summer as the Precure queer icon!

I’m not gonna stop yellin’ until you do! 😠

4) Laura = obvious midseason Cure is obvious

First of all, Laura is a babe. I already love her the best and she’s not even Precure yet. <3

Anyways, the set-up is pretty much in the description. Important main character who’s not a mascot, stated to have a self-confident personality and just speaks her mind (oooh, I like~ :D), magical/foreign being from another world looking for Precure to save her home, possesses her own special item(s), has aspirations to become the next Queen (so she’s a princess-candidate or something to that effect, I suppose).

We’ve seen various combinations of these traits in past midseason (and a few starter) Cures so nobody should be surprised when we all guessed that one of the Cures would be a real live mermaid.

The only question is why not just make Laura a Cure from the get-go if she’s introduced to us at the beginning (like Hime or Lala) and having a team of five with no unnecessary extra add-ons later on (like Smile).

Well, there’s a simple answer for that: formula.

Toei is afraid that if they don’t spit out some new animation sequence at the halfway and third quarter points of the show, the kids will lose interest and abandon the series altogether. Which means failed toy sales. Oh nooo... [/sarcasm]

...Yea.

And this way they can also have Laura available in the Cure lineup for the next All Stars in 2022 instead of making her sit the fight out if we were going to have one in 2021. I’m convinced that’s gotta be one of the reasons. *shrug*

But ok, whatever. Her debut is gonna be later, that’s all. She’s a delayed Cure. Midseason Cure, same difference.

Moving along to the more important stuff now like what’s her Cure name gonna be, y/y?

Well, knowing Toei, a translation of the term “mermaid” into another language is the most predictable route even though we already have a Cure Mermaid. Not like that ever stopped them from repeating words before (ex. Cure Happy vs Cure Felice). Though if they do go down that road, I hope they opt for the Spanish/Italian “sirena” and not the French “sirène” because the latter sounds too close to how Cure Selene is pronounced in Japanese. And, putting it nicely, we all know Japanese pronunciation of foreign words is as off kilter as can be.

Hell, even the the Portuguese “sereia” sounds aesthetic as hell so it’d be nice if they can just remember there are other languages that exist out there besides Japanese, English and French when making the final decision at the writing table! *stomps foot* >:/

Alternatively, “nereid” or “naiad” are good choices too but they remind me too much of Greek myths and Laura’s from the Grand Ocean which covers more than just a couple of seas (Greece is surrounded by three, btw) so...

I dunno. But whatever it’s gonna be, she’s definitely got a strong association with water and her powers will probably be based on that.

As for theme color, since there’s noticeably no blue or green Cure in the starter lineup, it’s likely she will take up that spot when she debuts around ep 20.

Pink is also open since Cure Summer, again, is technically not a Pink Cure and Laura’s hair and tail fin are hot and light pink respectively but looking at Laura’s design and concept, does anyone seriously believe that?

Her upper torso consists of aquamarine while the body of her tail is definitely some shade of cyan, implying they’re aiming for somewhere around the middle of green and blue on the lighter spectrum.

And yea, I’m aware that green and blue are considered exchangeable in some perspectives with how close some of their shades are to each other but officially, I think Laura’s gonna be grouped with the Green Cures.

Cuz of the hair. If Laura’s gonna keep it the same or a similar shade after transforming, that is. The Blues have always had cool-colored hair so putting Laura in with them might disrupt that harmony whereas if you put her with the few Greens there are (including Parfait), she’d fit right in.

I mean, we’ll see but that makes the most sense, doesn’t it?

On another note, I just want to say that I love how they added frills to her arms instead of letting her elbows go bare naked. It definitely makes her look more like a genuine mermaid than if she didn’t have them (remember, half fish doesn’t mean half the body :P).

5) Magical Items

Frankly, I’m tired of seeing the transformation device being a compact again even though one of the main motifs is make-up this season. But at least, as far as Precure compacts goes, the Tropical one is my favorite cuz of how cute and delightfully colorful its toy version looks! So I guess I’m okay with it.

The Heart Rouge Rod, though? ...I dunno. I think it would’ve been fine without that...straw (?) jutting out at the top. It looks weird, doesn’t it look weird? :S

As for the collectible clip-ons, I can live without those for the rest of my life. Yeesh.

Laura’s items, the Aqua Pot and the Ocean Prism Mirror.

Again with the portable, travel-size housing. *sigh* 😩

Alright, I can let this year slide cuz Laura (I’m so soft for her, omg) probably won’t be getting legs for 20 weeks so she’s got to move about on land somehow. But unless they’re really thinking about turning this idea of carrying your apartment around in your bag/pocket/purse into a reality (cuz that would be effin’ awesome), please be more creative with your toys.

On the other hand, I’m much more interested in the Ocean Prism Mirror but from what Kusyami (the Precure merchandise reviews I follow on Youtube) said in his latest vid, this is the ED dance item so don’t know if it’ll actually have an relevance to the story or not. But I did hear him mention it having something to do with the Queen as well and since Laura wishes to become Queen, maybe it’ll be important after all? Maybe it’s her transformation device?

That’d be super cool. Let’s continue the trend of the midseason Cure having a different transformation item than the starters. Honestly, we should alternate every other year or two but we’ve gone three seasons with all of them using the same henshin gimmicks up till HealPre and I just want a break from that.

6) Fin sleeves??

These look so impractical for combat so maybe it’s exclusive to group attacks.

And/or a sort of precursor to the super forms?

*GASP* Does that mean they all eventually turn into mermaids? 🤩

7) Yui finally became Precure!! 😭

lol, it’s all crack from this point on so don’t take it too seriously but man, after Yuni’s deceptive braids, I thought I wasn’t gonna see anything that reminded me of Yui for a while and lo behold, Sango.

kehehehehehe xD;

Though Yui might be closer to Minori in terms of personal interests (fairytales and storybooks).

8) Akira, the actual Onee-chan version

I didn’t think this when I first saw her but once I read “Onee-san” in her profile, there’s no saving you now. Sorry, Asuka. 😅

Also, damn, do her sandals make her feet look big! Compare them to the heels she wears as Flamingo. Are they even the same?! lololol

9) ...this sounds awfully familiar...

Translation:

Tokimeku Tokonatsu! [Exciting/Thrilling Everlasting Summer!] Cure Summer! Kirameku Hoseki! [Sparkling Jewel!] Cure Coral! Hirameku Fuurutsu! [Flashing Fruit!] Cure Papaya!

Japanese reiteration:

Mallow/Mao: Pink no tokimeki! Lillie: Blue no kirameki! Lana/Suiren: Yellow no kagayaki!

….........

@Toei

Care to explain yourselves, punks?!

Pet Perspective (2/19)

By: @arc852 and @hiddendreamer67

Warnings: tiny people being treated as pets (duh), shock collars, unwanted touching

First Chapter || Previous Chapter || Next Chapter

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

Virgil set down the cage on his desk, opening it up as he plopped down into his seat. “So, princey, welcome to your new home.” He motioned around his bedroom.

“Lovely.” Roman deadpanned, refusing to step out and looking around at the mess. “Couldn’t even make it decent for my arrival?”

Virgil looked back at his mess before shrugging. “Eh, it’s been worse. Besides, might as well leave it like how you’ll always see it.” Virgil said with a smirk.

Roman gagged at the thought. “I shouldn’t be surprised someone as unkempt as you lives in a sty.”

“Uh huh and tell me, where did you live before you found your way into the shelter?” Virgil asked, knowing the types of places escaped borrowers lived.

“...None of your business.” Roman refused to say, turning away dramatically to cross his arms.

“Right, well, something tells me you have no right to judge how I live.” Virgil said with a smirk. He then reached out his hand and scooped the borrower up with no warning, bring him out into the open.

“H-hey!” Roman protested, although truly by now he should have been expecting it.

Virgil paused at the feeling. “Huh.” He had never held a borrower before. It was...interesting. He had intended to put Roman down but now he didn’t much feel like it. So he adjusted his grip instead and leaned back in his chair to look at him. “So, you gonna tell me your name now?”

“I don’t see why I should.” Roman glared back at him. He pressed his hands against the grip around his middle but didn’t struggle, knowing it was pointless.

“How about because it’ll be annoying having to call you a number of other things, instead of your actual name?” Virgil said with a raised eyebrow.

“That sounds like a you problem, Virgil.” Roman smirked, for once glad to know a human’s name if only so he could flaunt it.

Virgil narrowed his eyes at the borrower before he suddenly got an idea. He reached over to his bag and pulled out the documents he had been given along with his new pet. He smirked down at the tiny and waved them around. “Well, either you tell me yourself or I just take a peek at this and get it myself.”

“Hey, that’s private!” Roman protested, knowing he had quite the file on hand after spending so much time in and out of the shelter. That folder contained a large collection of info on his past owners, escape attempts, personal records, and just a general rundown of what the shelter workers thought of him. It certainly wouldn’t help his escape plans if Virgil knew all his old ones.

Virgil raised an eyebrow. “Well, maybe I won’t look at it if you gave me your name.”

“How do I know you won’t look at it anyways?” Roman argued. “Then I’ll just look foolish.”

Virgil looked from the borrower to the file before shrugging. “I’ll burn it. Right in front of you.”

Roman’s eyes widened in shock. “Seriously? Just for my name?”

“Yeah, why not.” Virgil said with another shrug. He could always call the shelter for another file anyway if he wanted to. “So, we have a deal?”

Roman considered this. It was certainly worth a shot, considering one way or another Virgil was going to find out. Besides, at least this way he could see if the human kept his word.

“My name is Roman.” Roman revealed.

“Finally.” Virgil sighed with relief. “Roman, huh? Cool.” It suited him. He looked at the file, welp, time to keep his end of the bargain. He set Roman down on the desk and grabbed a lighter he kept in his room. He lit the edge of it, watching as it caught fire.

Roman gasped, shocked when he actually watched the file go up in flames.

Virgil threw it in his trash and stomped on it once it was halfway burnt. When the fire went out, he turned back to Roman. “There we go, all burnt. Just like I said.”

“I- wow, I did not think you would commit.” Roman admitted, looking impressed.

“I would say I always commit to things, but I would be lying.” Virgil said. “Anyway, now that we have that out of the way…” Virgil reached out again and scooped Roman up once more.

“...now what?” Roman asked, nervous at how the human’s sentence had trailed off.

Virgil tilted his head and smirked. He then proceeded to poke Roman in the side, gently.

Instantly Roman groaned, realizing this one was a teaser. He should have known.

Virgil chuckled at that. “What?” He poked him again, this time on the other side. “Something wrong?”

“Yes, I get it, ha ha ha.” Roman instinctively flinched. “You’re a human who likes to assert his dominance by trying to poke a reaction out of me.”

“Not so much that, I just find your reactions amusing.” Instead of poking him this time, he started petting his head.

“I’m glad my suffering brings you joy.” Roman made a pouty face, scrunching up his shoulders. “Must it be the hair?”

“Now that you said that? Yes.” Virgil chuckled, messing it up even more before bringing his hand away. He was now going to make sure he messed with Roman’s hair every chance he got.

“Rude!” Roman made an offended princely noise, reaching up to try and salvage his hair.

Virgil let out another small chuckle, leaning back in the chair again. He hummed as he looked over Roman. “We’ll have to get you some new clothes once we go shopping tomorrow.” Virgil said, more to himself than Roman. “And a collar.” Virgil added.

“What’s wrong with my clothes?” Roman looked down at his outfit, particularly fond of this one. The collar was to be expected, as it always came with each new Owner. That didn’t make it any less humiliating of an accessory.

“It’s just...not practical.” Virgil said. “And it was clearly made for a doll, which you aren’t.”

Roman winced, the notion of being a doll bringing up bad memories. This outfit had been the only thing of any worth to come out of that dark time.

“Well, I hardly see why practicality matters.” Roman shrugged, hesitant to part with them. “After all, it’s not like humans let us borrowers do much anyways.”

“Maybe not, but like, those can’t be very warm. Or comfortable for that matter. We can get you some t-shirts, jeans, maybe a couple of jackets. That sort of thing.” Virgil listed off. It would be pretty expensive but him and Pat had been saving up for just this reason.

Roman had to admit, it did sound comfortable. Most of his old owners weren’t so willingly generous. He squinted. “What’s the catch?”

Virgil raised an eyebrow. “Uh, just don’t rip them or anything?” He didn’t need to be buying Roman even more clothes so soon.

“Well of course I wouldn’t rip them.” Roman wasn’t stupid. Good borrower clothes were hard to come by, and every borrower knew to take good care of useful items. “But why are you buying me all that?” Humans were known to buy clothes for their borrowers to style them, and taking another look at Virgil he groaned. “Don’t tell me you’re going to turn me goth as well.”

“Heh, trust me princey, you couldn’t pull this off.” Virgil chuckled. “Nah, I’ll just let you choose what you want. I’m not good at the whole clothes shopping thing anyway.” Virgil reached over and messed up Roman’s hair again.

Roman blinked, so surprised by this statement that for once he didn’t tell Virgil off for ruffling his hair. He had never gotten to choose clothing for himself before.

“Ah...well, in any case, I still want to keep this as well.” Roman declared, grabbing his sash firmly in one hand and using the other to idly fix his hair.

Virgil sighed. “Fine. I won’t make you get rid of it.” Though Virgil didn’t understand why Roman wanted to keep it, he wouldn’t say anything. He set Roman back down on the desk. “Alright, I’m going to help Patton with dinner. So, back in you go.” Virgil said, motioning towards the cage.

“Yes yes, I’m going.” Roman waved him off, knowing his place as he stepped into the cage.

Virgil smirked and closed the cage door before standing and stretching. “Be back soon.” He said, and then went down to the kitchen to see if Patton needed any help.

He went down the stairs and noticed Patton seemed to already be halfway done with cooking. “Oh, whoops. Sorry Pat, I got distracted by Roman. I would have come to help you sooner.”

“It’s okay kiddo!” Patton said with a grin. Before blinking. “Wait, Roman? Oh! Did he tell you his name?” Patton asked and Virgil answered with a nod. “That’s great!”

“Yeah, what about you? Did yours say his yet?” Patton deflated a little at the question and sighed as he turned back to stirring the pot.

“No, not yet. He said he won’t because something about leverage. I don’t really get it.” Patton admitted sadly. Virgil wrinkled his nose.

“What? Well that’s stupid.” Virgil leaned against the counter. “You know, you could always check the file the pet shop had on him.”

“I know...but I want him to tell me himself.” Patton stared down at the food. “If he doesn’t tell me by tomorrow, I’ll look though. Cause I need to put it on his collar.” Virgil nodded.

“That sounds like a good plan. Anyway, what can I do to help?” Virgil asked and Patton thought for a moment.

“Um...oh! Can you set out the pet food? I almost forgot about that.” Good thing they had bought that before the actual borrowers. Virgil nodded and got to work putting them on paper plates, since they had yet to get anything else for their borrowers. Patton finished up their food and served it up.

“I’m going to go get Roman.” Virgil said as he walked up the stairs but Patton wasn’t too far behind.

“I’ll get my borrower!” He said and then entered his room. “Hey kiddo! Dinner time!” He said and opened up the cage.

“I’m not hungry.” Logan tensed, not liking the lack of food before him and the open door. That could only mean one thing.

“Come on kiddo, you gotta eat.” Patton reached in and wrapped his hand around the borrower’s middle, pulling him out.

Logan felt his limbs lock up, that overwhelming feeling of being touched once again dominating his senses. Logan loathed this sensation, but he could do nothing to tell the human off.

“There we go.” Patton smiled, petting the borrower on the head.

Logan cringed, wanting so terribly to refuse the touch. But, Logan had to accept this- it was his life now, and a human could do as they pleased with a borrower.

Patton headed downstairs, borrower in hand.

Virgil walked into his own room and opened the cage, giving no warning as he grabbed Roman from within.

“Excuse you!” Roman huffed, giving a small grunt when he was lifted. “A little warning next time.”

Virgil chuckled. “Sorry.” He said unapologetically. “But it’s dinner time.” Virgil started down the stairs.

“So I gathered.” Roman grumbled. “What are we having?” It better not be tiny feed.

“Well, we’re having spaghetti.” Virgil answered and set Roman down on the table next to his food. “And you two are having tiny feed.” Virgil took a seat, as did Patton after he set Logan down next to his own portion.

“Dig in you two!” Patton exclaimed.

Logan wrinkled his nose, disgusted at the grey slop that was recommended tiny feed. He thought one of the perks of getting bought was better food than the pet store, but if anything this looked worse.

“I am not hungry.” Logan repeated, turning up his nose.

“Nor am I.” Roman made a gagging sound effect. “Certainly not for that.”

“What? But it’s good for you! It has all the nutrients a borrower needs.” Patton exclaimed.

“Yeah and we paid good money for it.” Virgil added.

“It tastes disgusting.” Roman blanched, picking up a handful and watching it gloop to the plate. “You cannot honestly look at this and tell me it looks appetizing.”

Virgil looked at his and scrunched up his nose in disgust. “Uh, no yeah, it looks horrible. I just thought borrowers had different tastes.”

“You thought incorrectly.” Logan informed him.

“Oh come on, it can’t be that bad.” Patton said and then dipped his finger in it to give it a taste. He gagged almost immediately.

“Whoa, you okay Pat?” Virgil asked and Patton nodded as he coughed out the taste. He drank some water.

“...Let me get you guys some spaghetti.” Patton said, standing up to do just that. Virgil raised an eyebrow.

“Wow, that bad huh?” Patton just nodded as he set the plates down and through the pet food out.

Roman grinned in his triumph, and Logan gave Roman a similar smile of gratitude, content the other borrower had managed to persuade the humans.

“Much better.” Roman inhaled a heavenly waft, coming closer and tearing off a chunk.

Logan observed the way the humans were eating it. It seemed they possessed utensils that made the task easier. “Do you have any borrower utensils?” Logan requested.

Both humans paused in their eating, looking at each other. “Uh, not yet, but that’s why we’re going shopping tomorrow.” Patton answered. “Why? Is it too hard to eat? I can make you something easier?”

Virgil looked to Roman but he seemed perfectly fine in eating with his hands. He shrugged and went back to eating.

“It is a bit... unclean.” Logan admitted, watching Roman nearly spill on himself.

Roman didn’t seem to mind, used to having to make do. In fact, he rolled his eyes at the posh nature of a store-bought borrower. Typical.

“I’ll show you unclean.” Roman smirked, flinging the tip of his spaghetti noodle backwards so that some sauce went flying in Logan’s direction.

Logan yelped, caught off guard when some sauce hit him in the arm.

“Whoa, hey! None of that now.” Patton said. He grabbed a napkin to help wipe the sauce up.

Virgil, on the other hand, couldn’t help but chuckle. “Nice aim.”

Patton glared at him. “Virgil! You aren’t supposed to be encouraging this kind of behavior.”

“Thank you.” Roman looked quite pleased with himself.

Logan glared at Roman but put his arm out, helping Patton reach to wipe away the sauce. Thankfully it had not gotten on his sleeve to leave a stain.

Patton finished cleaning him up. “Would you rather have a sandwich? I can make you one, no trouble at all.”

Virgil rolled his eyes, not understanding why the borrower couldn’t just eat.

“That would be satisfactory, yes.” Logan nodded.

“Ooh, satisfactory, that’s a ten dollar word.” Roman mocked, continuing to eat his fill. As if a sandwich was as good as a warm meal.

“Roman, stop that.” Patton said, turning to make a sandwich.

Virgil chuckled again. “No, Roman, keep going, this is great.” Patton turned to give a look towards Virgil again.“What exactly is your problem?” Logan asked, turning to frown at Roman. He had been under the impression their shared scenario should make them allies.

“I just think you’re being a bit picky.” Roman shrugged, lowering his voice and pretending to be nonchalant. “But I suppose you must be one of the brainwashed ones who wants a gilded cage and a silver spoon.”

“...hardly.” Logan retorted. “You lack any sufficient knowledge of me.”

“Here we go!” Patton set down the tiny sized sandwich in front of his borrower. “That should be less messy for ya.”

“Thank you.” Logan remembered his manners, now eating his own meal.

Virgil rolled his eyes but finished eating, putting his plate in the sink. “You done?” He asked Roman.

Roman nodded, looking down at his hands. “Do you have a napkin?”

“Imagine that, a flaw in your plan.” Logan snarked.

Roman glared at him, and considered using Logan as a napkin.

“Uh, yeah, here.” Virgil grabbed one and handed it over to Roman.

“We’ll try to get the two of you proper utensils tomorrow.” Patton said, knowing it was probably hard to eat with your hands.

“Excellent, many gratitudes.” Logan nodded.

“And I thank you like a normal person.” Roman teased, wiping off his hands.

Virgil chuckled and scooped Roman up. “Alright, come on. Before Patton and his borrower get mad.”

“Virgil…” Patton warned.

“Sounds marvelous.” Roman agreed, giving Patton a hesitant glance. While dinner had been fun, he certainly might have made some enemies as well.

“Goodnight Pat.” Virgil said as he headed up the stairs, knowing he was going to spend the rest of the evening in his room. He set Roman back down on the desk, before sitting down as well and pulling out his phone to check tumblr.

“What now?” Roman asked, stretching his arms above his head.

Virgil glanced at him and shrugged. “I don’t know.” Virgil put his phone down and thought for a moment. “What’s with you and the other borrower? I mean, don’t get me wrong, it was hilarious, but why?”

“I don’t think you’d understand.” Roman tried to drop the issue, not realizing his little jests had made such a spectacle.

“Try me.” Virgil said, leaning in closer.

Roman paused, realizing he was on the verge of sharing his inner feelings with an owner. “No.” Roman said firmly, his gaze set.

Virgil raised an eyebrow. “Come on, I wanna understand this beef you two seem to have, despite having just met.” It was a bit strange, when he thought about it.

“Why should I tell you?” Roman scoffed.

“Uh, because I asked?” Virgil tilted his head.

“Well I don’t owe you answers.” Roman stuck up his nose. Though he loved a good bout of drama, exchanging pleasantries with owners was never wise; they’d just use that information against you.

“Ugh, fine. Don’t tell me then.” Virgil turned back to his phone.

Roman glanced at Virgil, torn between his desire to annoy Virgil and to spill the tea. “What, you’re not going to weasel it out of me?” Roman said finally.

Virgil continued to scroll through his phone, not even glancing towards the borrower.

“Hey.” Roman’s jaw dropped, offended. “Don’t ignore me while I’m ignoring you!”

Virgil kept himself from smirking, just continued to scroll through his phone. He was glad his plan seemed to be working though.

“Alright, fine.” Roman spat, turning away and crossing his arms. “I’m ignoring you ignoring me ignoring you! So there, I win.”

Oh, Virgil was definitely the one winning. He shifted a little, leaning back in his chair. Eyes still on his phone.

Roman could only keep up the charade for so long before he broke, desperate for attention.

“Are you just going to play on that stupid phone all day?” Roman groaned. “Why did you even get me if you don’t want me?”

At that, Virgil finally glanced up. “No.” He turned back to his phone. “I’m gonna play on my stupid phone all night.” He said with a growing smirk.

“Well, great, this is going to be fun.” Roman grumbled, slouching against some books stacked nearby.

Virgil ignored him, actually getting pretty into what he was scrolling through.

Roman glanced around, taking note of his surroundings. Usually, it would be much later in his stay when Roman could make a break for it, but...well, it never hurt to test the waters.

and now we return to outlast 2, where-

THINGS KEEP GETTING SO, SO MUCH WORSE

(i have... a LOT im trying to process about this whole section sorry for upcoming text walls. really nasty #blood / #gore in here as well though) (i didnt realize i was This far behind on liveblogs lmao i drafted this. a while ago and didnt get back to it until now)

---

so i fell off the bridge (shock. horror. who could have predicted this) and right into the scalled village

what.............happened to you

fuCKING GO D

so it turns out “the scalled” are... some kind of leper colony banned from the town and left to fester and rot out here alone

most of them are just lying around suffering and dying, i dont know what the fuck happened to them, there’s some mention of like. wildly untreated syphilis/potentially other stds they’re being told is their curse for the sins they’ve committed but does.... syphilis do that to you. it might actually be leprosy i dont know i dont want to research this. all i can think about is when i watched jesus christ superstar in high school and the leper colony song where they’re all crowding around jesus all trying to touch him REALLY freaked me out for a while

i mean its like. probably a combination of disease left horrifically untreated and massively infected given the absolutely appalling conditions these people are living in (everything’s run down and full of blood and shit and who knows what else), starvation, who knows what they’re even finding to eat out here so that’s probably causing even more disease but still jesus christ

at first it just made me really sad, sure these people came from temple gate too so they were. fucked up cultists to begin with but a lot of this is like... result of longterm emotional and mental abuse and manipulation, some of these people might not have started out as depraved evil murderers, and like. nobody deserves to live like this. except knoth lmao throw him down here, but

so i thought maybe it would turn out that you realize they’re human too, they’re just in a fucking LOT of pain and maybe you can’t do anything to help them (i dont think there’s any hope for anyone down here at this point) but maybe they’d turn out to be on my side and do something to help me fight back against the leader who abandoned them, “the most absolutely fucked up looking people are actually the most human” kind of thing but uh. that is not how things went. at all,

ill get into How Fucking Bad this got in a second lmao but like

most of them dont really do anything to you other than bleed on you and beg you for help, some people lash out but thats like, understandable given the horrifying state they’re in, but

as it turns out, being the “scalled messiah” is a VERY bad thing, they went from occasionally lashing out at me to outright tracking me down to murder me to death which, like, honestly kind of disappointing

bc one of the things i liked the most about the first outlast was how many of the prisoners were clearly just victims too, some of them (lookin at you, naked twin guys,) were just evil and murderous but some of them were just very very mentally unwell (exacerbated by horrible living conditions and the fact that the people who were supposed to be protecting them and helping them recover were actively, intentionally working to make their symptoms worse) and couldn’t really be blamed for acting violently toward you, but

then sometimes there’s people who warn you about dangers ahead, people sitting in corners hiding and scared and wont hurt you unless you give them a reason to think you might be a threat, people just trying to stay alive, people who need help

but that’s. not the case here, and there’s definitely a particular kind of horror in “absolutely no one in this hell town can be trusted, nobody will help me, everyone here wants to hurt me and every time i think ive made any kind of progress it gets so much worse” (except that ONe guy who tried to protect me. im still sad about him) but. i dont know i feel like there’s a missed opportunity here. im not sure if im supposed to feel like the scalled deserve to be like this because of the kind of people they were before, but i dont. i feel like the “what the fucking shit HAPPENED to these people” horror is heightened by the realization that they’re people, and just kinda using them as attack zombies is. missing something, somehow. i dont know, i cant figure out how to word what i want to say here

i mean its absolutely fucking horrifying, i was scared out of my mind going through all this, and i still gotta give props to a video game experience that left me legitimately feeling like i needed to go take a shower and crawl under a blanket for a while

i guess ultimately with outlast im coming here to be scared shitless more than anything else and boy did they ever fucking deliver

ok im gonna stop bc i will keep talking in circles about this forever if i dont, moving on

WHAT EVEN ARE THESE GUYS, APART FROM COMPLETELY TERRIBLE

im guessing theres some kind of... inbreeding birth defect situation going on here but i cant even process what im looking at

that and its hard to look at them at all considering the only times i see them im getting murdered to death. my panicked screenshots hoping to get a better look later did not help

PRETTY SURE THEY JUST MADE HIM DRINK THEIR BLOOD,

how the fuck has my dude not thrown up like 90 times already. im glad he hasnt bc im bad emetophobia but outlast 1 did it so im honestly surprised that hasnt happened unless ive just forgotten it in the blur of nightmares im going through here

THAT’S... NOT GOOD

THAT IS REALLY, REALLY NOT GOOD

FUCK SHIT MOTHERFUCKING FUCK

i gotta say im impressed with how FAR they GO with this one, i have no idea how much game i have left but considering this isnt even the ending i am HORRIFIED to see what the fuck is gonna happen next

i mean outlast 1 has you getting your fucking fingers sliced off and whistleblower has. That Scene (even though like. it stops before waylon actually gets cut its REALLY CLOSE)

this whole time i kept thinking something would happen and they’d get interrupted, I’d escape somehow, they aren’t really going to have the player character get literally fucking crucified from your own perspective,

but then the nails go in

and you’ve got one hand literally nailed to a cross

and then they start the other one

and i was like, WOW FUCK, THEY ACTUALLY DID IT, BUT NOW HE’LL ESCAPE... SOMEHOW.... RIGHT ???

but they lift it up

and you’re hanging there

and for a second i legitimately thought it was gonna end there for him, i thought he was actually just going to die there and the game would continue with lynn or something (which, to be fair, would be a pretty cool twist, but i dont WANT blake to just die here like this)

ANYWAY!! FUCKING GOD, THAT SURE HAPPENED

but against all odds HE SOMEHOW DIDNT FUCKING DIE, and managed to find the strength to rIP HIS HANDS OUT OF THE NAILS AND FALL DOWN

i cannot fucking IMAGINE what that would feel like. i dont want to imagine it but i sure the fuck am now

i dont know if its possible to like. die from bleeding out in this scene if you dont find the bandages fast enough but it sure felt like i was going to

fucking hell i can practically feel it in my real hands i HATE THIS i HATe it

god. fuck. im gonna be thinking about this scene for the rest of my life i didnt think anything would ever be worse than the finger slicing scene in outlast 1 but this. i think this wins

wHAT THE FUCK IS THAT!?!??? THERES SOMETHING CHASING ME IN THE SCHOOL FLASHBACKS NOW IM NOT EVEN SAFE HERE ANYMORE

WHAT *IS* THAT??!??

w OA h

i still have no IDEA whats going on with these flashbacks either, clearly his classmate hung herself and he feels subconsciously responsible for it because he didn’t do anything to stop her (though it doesn’t sound like he Could have done anything, and. they were kids), there’s definitely some buried trauma he never dealt with thats resurfacing now but

i still dont think its just a manifestation of trauma, because like. the recordings are still coming out as fucked up static, if he was just having really intense hallucinations there wouldn’t be any record on the camera, it would just be him filming nothing and talking to himself through a panic attack, it wouldn’t be getting consistently corrupted ONLY during the flashbacks so what the fuck is happening

COLA

DRINK IT

i m losing it its the cola machines from the first game i diD NOT EXPECT THESE TO BE HERE

what the fuck is christian salad

you didn’t think i would see this, outlast devs, you thought you could hide this on the menu board and i wouldnt notice. i did notice and i demand answers

NO!!!! THAT IS THE OPPOSITE OF OKAY THIS IS THE LEAST OKAY I HAVE EVER BEEN IN MY LIFE

WELL!!!!! OKAY!!!! ALRIGHT!!!! NOW THAT I’VE BEEN LITERALLY FUCKING CRUCIFIED, FELL DOWN A HILL AND STRAIGHT INTO A FENCE OF BARBED WIRE, GOT DRAGGED OUT HERE AND BURIED ALIVE, CRAWLED MY WAY OUT OF MY OWN GRAVE AND NOW HAVE HOARDS OF DISEASED ZOMBIE NIGHTMARE CULTISTS SEARCHING FOR ME SO THEY CAN DEVOUR MY FLESH, LET’S GET GOING, SHALL WE

THIS IS FINE!!! EVERYTHING IS FINE I CANT SEE SHIT AND THERES NOTHING BUT TREES AND BARBED WIRE EVERYWHERE AND NO INDICATIONS WHATSOEVER OF WHERE I NEED TO GO BUT IT’S F IN E IM DOING GREAT

#lucy plays outlast 2 #was further behind than i thought lmao but heres some more

Michael Myers - Alphabet Ask Meme

I’m hoping to start doing requests on this blog, so I thought I would start up with the alphabet ask memes as a sort of intro! I figure all the letters get asked eventually, so I’m just doing all of them in one go. There will be one of these posted for each character I’m writing.

I have a page with what and who I write for here.

Both the NSFW and fluff alphabet asks are under the cut!

NSFW Alphabet

A = Aftercare (What they’re like after sex)

If you're lucky, he'll fall asleep and allow you to stay next to him. In this case, you can get away with pressing into his side or hugging his arm, but don't expect the cuddles to be returned. Otherwise, he's probably halfway out the door and planning his next murder before you know what's happened.

B = Body part (Their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

There’s nothing in particular that stands out about himself in his opinion. But if he had to pick something, his hands are probably the most useful - people aren’t going to stab themselves, you know.

Michael likes your eyes, so easy to see your fear and panic and lust. He’s always liked being able to read someone so easily when they can’t do the same to him.

C = Cum (Anything to do with cum basically… I’m a disgusting person)

He likes leaving you messy. He’ll dig his fingers into you afterwards and smear his cum into your skin, then have you lick his fingers clean.

D = Dirty Secret (Pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

There’s a lot you don’t know about him. Not even because he doesn’t want you to or hides it, but simply because he either won’t or can’t communicate it. He doesn’t much care if you happen to see him do something, you knowing doesn’t matter. The only secrets he has are the ones you haven’t stumbled across yet.

E = Experience (How experienced are they? Do they know what they’re doing?)

He’s peeked through enough windows to get the gist of it, but it’s not too much help during the real thing. Mostly he’ll rely on instinct and what he’s seen others do, but he’ll sometimes listen when you try and show him.

F = Favorite Position (This goes without saying. Will probably include a visual)

He prefers to have you trapped against something, limiting your movement without binding you. It keeps you controlled with less effort and unable to get away from him, not that you could anyways.

G = Goofy (Are they more serious in the moment, or are they humorous, etc)

He’s not completely blank faced under the mask, but you aren’t likely to see it. Even then he’s still very much on the ‘serious’ side of things. He doesn’t care if you’re amused or laughing or feeling soft, but it’s not something he would show if he did feel it it doesn’t count if he smiles cause you can’t see it.

H = Hair (How well groomed are they, does the carpet match the drapes, etc.)

He’ll sometimes shower when he comes around and if you’re lucky it’ll be before any sexytimes. He’s not usually filthy, but human blood is sort of gross no matter the amount. You’re still trying to convince him to let you wash his clothes but so far it’s a losing battle.

I = Intimacy (How are they during the moment, romantic aspect…)

There’s zero romance in this man, probably in the negative actually. You’re not gonna get any secret signs of affection or special gifts. The fact that he doesn’t murder you is about as intimate as he gets, and even then it’s a slippery slope.

J = Jack Off (Masturbation headcanon)

It’s pretty rare for Michael to take care of himself, he has enough patience to wait out anything, even himself. If you don’t come to him first, then he’ll get around to tracking you down eventually.

K = Kink (One or more of their kinks)

He’s up for almost anything, probably has the least hard no’s out of everyone. He doesn’t keep a favorite for long, there’s so much to try and he’s got to make up for all that time being locked up.

L = Location (Favorite places to do the do)

It’s honestly wherever he happens to be when the mood strikes, or really wherever you happen to be. Inside, outside, public or not isn’t going to stop or inconvenience him. If you don’t want the whole town finding out you’re banging the boogeyman then it’s on you to keep quiet and not draw attention.

M = Motivation (What turns them on, gets them going)

You’re not really sure yourself. It’s hard to imagine what he’s thinking most of the time and so you can’t say what it is that sets him off when he does approach you.

N = NO (Something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

Absolutely would not agree to being bound in a way he couldn’t escape from. If you wanna tie him up that’s fine, he’ll just snap the bindings when he feels like it, but anything he can’t get out of when he wants isn’t going to happen.

O = Oral (Preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc)

Not a big fan of giving. He will, but only when the mood strikes him and that’s not terribly often. Maybe it’s just his preference or maybe he doesn’t like removing the mask for it, but no amount of begging will change his mind.

P = Pace (Are they fats and rough? Slow and sensual? etc.)

It depends if he’s trying to annoy you or not. His preference is always rough, usually fast, but if that’s what you’re craving he’ll slow it down just to get you frustrated. If he’s not doing something to pester you then he’s not having a good time.

Q = Quickie (Their opinions on quickies rather than proper sex, how often, etc.)

Quickies work better with his routine, which for a guy that has no job other than murder is pretty booked apparently, but you’ll need the breaks between full blown sessions anyways.

R = Risk (Are they game to experiment, do they take risks, etc.)

You’re gonna lose track of how many times you’ve been suddenly pulled into the bushes or someone’s backyard. It doesn’t matter who’s around to hear either - he’s always quiet, if you can’t shut up then that’s your fault.

S = Stamina (How many rounds can they go for, how long do they last…)

He’s pretty average, maybe 2 rounds in a row. But he’s the undisputed king of edging, so that one round is going to last half the day.

T = Toy (Do they own toys? Do they use them? On a partner or themselves?)

I think he would definitely use things if you offered them, but do you really want to give him that kind of power? Introducing him to new things is dangerous on its own, let alone things that may or may not go inside you.

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

He can drag shit out for daaayys. All he’s gotta do is let you get yourself worked up, sit passively until you’re shaking in his lap, contributing nothing more than light touches - then just get up and leave. When he does come back, you’re impatient and needy and stupid enough to get back into his lap and let the whole thing happen again, until he’s decided the game is over.

V = Volume (How loud they are, what sounds they make)

Quiet enough to unsettle you, make you wonder if he’s even feeling anything. Heavy breathing is about all you’ll get, but it makes you wonder if he would be any more expressive without the mask (he’s barely holding in those moans under there but you don’t know that).

W = Wild Card (Get a random headcanon for the character of your choice)

The mask is actually super uncomfortable and hot and humid but goddammit he’s got a reputation to uphold.

X = X-Ray (Let’s see what’s going on in those pants, picture or words)

Y = Yearning (How high is their sex drive?)

It’s hard to say. Most of the time, you will have to be the one to start something, and he tends to go along with it. If Michael is the one taking action, it’s going to seem sudden and out of nowhere from your perspective - meanwhile he’s spent two days hiding around corners, watching you.

Z = ZZZ (… how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

Not very easily, or often. It’s practically unheard of for Michael to fall asleep without a few hours of tossing and turning. Being put to sleep for 20 some years via tranquilizer has sorta fucked up his body’s ability to do that naturally. There’s not much to do for it other than wait it out - you might be inclined to try soothing him to sleep, but that’s just gonna piss him off and make him leave to wander around the house, or the streets. Best course of action is to pass out yourself, and there’s a 50/50 chance he may have done the same by the time you wake up.

Fluff Alphabet

A = Attractive (What do they find attractive about the other?)

You’re interesting, for the moment. He’s missed out on a lot of experiences in his life and you being the one to introduce him to all these new things keeps you interesting. Your affection for him is something strange to him and he enjoys testing its boundaries.

B = Baby (Do they want a family? Why/Why not?)

There are many reasons this is not a good idea. Even if we’re not including the brother/sister dynamic from the sequels, he still has a history of killing family. If you happen to get pregnant accidentally, it’s 50/50 if he’d let either of you live, and at best he’s just gonna disappear.

C = Cuddle (How do they cuddle?)

Cuddling is a single player game with him. He might tolerate you climbing all over him but he’s not going to reciprocate. You carefully ignore those rare mornings when he’s managed to fall asleep next to you and you wake up with him snoring into your hair, legs tangled with yours.

D = Dates (What are dates with them like?)

Sometimes he will sit next to you while you watch a movie. Better chances the bloodier the movie is. If you’re really, really lucky, he’ll eat in the same room with you.

E = Everything (You are my ____ (e.g. my life, my world…)

You are his. He might not be around all the time, but this is still an ‘ownership’ before it’s a ‘relationship’. There aren’t many rules to it, he’s content to let you do what you want for the most part, but he’s ruthless about enforcing the few he does have.

F = Feelings (When did they know they were in love?)

Love might be too strong a word. He likes you enough to not want to kill you, however that happened. He also doesn’t want anyone else to harm you, so he likes you enough to protect you as well. He certainly doesn’t want anyone else touching you. He knew all of this pretty quickly, otherwise you’d have ended up dead once you attracted his attention.

G = Gentle (Are they gentle? If so, how?)

Sometimes he’s not rough, but that’s not the same as gentle. He’s not used to casual touch so he’s a little more uncertain about movements that aren’t made with the intent to kill. He is overly cautious rather than gentle, unsure about how it’s supposed to feel.

H = Hands (How do they like to hold hands?)

Michael will let you hold his and depending on what you’re doing (talking, watching tv, reading) he may tighten his grip in response but he’s not holding your hand. That’s totally not what's happening here.

I = Impression (What was their first impression?)

There was an unlocked door and Michael was interested, that’s what always draws him towards a person or place. He liked the fight you put up, the fear and panic, but really it was more his amusement that saved you - you’re the clumsiest person he’s ever chased.

J = Jealousy (Do they get jealous?)

You’ve found some of your favorite books shredded on the floor and have a sneaking suspicion he may resent the time you spent pouring over that new release. Besides the obvious knife holes, he’s careful to leave the remains scattered all over where you can’t miss them.

K = Kiss (How do they kiss? Who initiated the first kiss?)

You’ll be smooching the mask for a long time before you get the real thing. It’s not as terrible as you thought, but he makes no effort to return the kiss from under the mask. Real kisses are few and far between, and handed out only when he feels like it. Even when he gets comfortable enough to not wear it to bed, the face is still off limits.

L = Love (Who says ‘I love you’ first?)

You’ve tried to get it out of him, but so far nothing has worked (“If you love me don’t say anything.” “...” “Got you!”). He’ll huff when you say it, so you’re always sure to lay it on real thick and sappy, just to get on his nerves.

M = Memory (What’s their favorite memory together?)

When Michael has a favorite memory he likes to relive them. Unfortunately for you, he’s rather fond of your first meeting with him and it had been a frantic jumble, running through your house while a manic with a knife followed. You know what he’s up to when he comes towards you with a determined step and a raised knife, but it’s still terrifying (and that’s why he likes it tbh).

N = Nickel (Do they spoil? Do they buy the person they love everything?)

He brings things home, but not ever anything useful. Usually it’s sharp objects, you’ve got quite the collection of random knives now. He does at least leave them in the sink, so you wake up early to remove old blood and scrub your kitchen down before breakfast. He doesn’t reuse them either, so you either keep a handful of incriminating murder weapons or try to discreetly dispose of incriminating murder weapons.

O = Orange (What color reminds them of their other half?)

Blacks and blues and yellows, the colors of new and old bruises he’s left to mark you. It’s not just because he enjoys seeing his handprints burned into you (but that too), but reminders that he’s coming back and you’ve got promises to keep.

P = Pet names (What pet names do they use?)

He really, really hates them. It’s an easy way to get under his skin if he’s getting a little too smug about something. He’ll tolerate being called Mikey, but anything else is only going to make him grumpy. Generic ones like honey and sweetheart are bad, but if you rhyme his name to make one he will straight up leave.

Q = Quaint (What is their favorite non-modern thing?)

Well, I guess knives aren’t exactly modern and they’re probably what he’s best known for. He’s interested in new things, but doesn’t keep that interest once he’s had a look, so there isn’t much that he keeps around.

R = Rainy Day (What do they like to do on a rainy day?)

If he’s got someone he wants to kill, then rain isn't stopping him. Most likely he’s simply peeking in windows though, with everyone inside it’s easier to find an occupied house and less likely that someone will notice him.

S = Sad (How do they cheer themselves/others up?)

You can never tell when he’s upset until he snaps. It will usually happen when you’re gone and you’ll come home to a wrecked house, broken furniture and torn clothes, ominous red stains in the bathroom. He’ll stay away for days, sometimes longer, and there’s no way of telling what set him off.

Michael’s not great at comforting others, that should be pretty obvious. He’ll avoid you until the crying or moping is over but if it’s something he can’t get around all he can really do is be nearby. Having a breakdown while a serial killer looms in the corner of your bathroom is odd enough to shake you out of it actually, so it’s helpful in a weird way.

T = Talking (What do they like to talk about?)

He’ll listen to you and you can usually tell by his body language what he thinks of something, but it’s really a guessing game. You’re never sure if you’re right and sometimes you must read him wrong, but it’s never frustrating unless he’s trying to be.

U = Unencumbered (What helps them relax?)

Sleep is the best way to put him in a good mood, but unfortunately it doesn’t happen very easily for him. If you’re asleep next to him he may happen to scoot closer and throw an arm over you, but that doesn’t count as snuggling because he doesn’t snuggle, you know. It’s second best to actually being asleep himself.

V = Vaunt (What do they like to show off? What are they proud of?)

Michael can be so quiet that you’ve gone days without realizing he’s in the house with you. Sneaking up on you is a common occurrence and it’s always when you’re holding something breakable. He doesn’t jump out at you, but turning around to find him 2 feet away is a little concerning when you’re not expecting it. Sometimes you’ll be trying to sleep and only know he’s there when you hear someone else breathing.

W = Wedding (When, how?)

He’ll take jokes about it just fine, but bringing it up in a serious way would just push him away. You’re not going to get any sort of acknowledgement of affection out of him, let alone a big party dedicated to it.

X = Xylophone (What’s their song?)

You haven’t noticed that he seems to prefer anything in particular, but it’s safe to say that a wide variety of spooky Halloween songs have made it into all of your playlists. You can’t tell, but you really hope it annoys him.

Y = Yes (Do they ever think of getting married/proposing?)

He doesn’t think of it at all. He’s living in your house and not killing you, that’s as committed as he gets. Not to say he doesn’t consider this a serious relationship in his own way, cause there’s not many ways out of it that end well for you.

Z = Zebra (If they wanted a pet, what would they get?)

Please don’t.

Episode 132

Best *clap* chapter *clap* ever

Okjnskfjhskjhfikjhgjsikhg I can barely tybe right now. I’m s h a k i n g.

Honorable mentions:

Happy that Leilah’s coming back

Also i thought she was at work not at some beach vacation wth

Where’d Elaine go? She just disappeared.

There’s this one specific panel in this episode about halfway through that’s a view kind of through John’s eyes and he has Arlo’s shirt grabbed with both his hands. Yeh, that one. I just noticed that Alro looks like he’s about to cry.

Because I don’t know how to put my ideas forward in any other way, I’m going to be doing a compare and contrast kind of thing. First, I will talk about John’s side and his argument. Then, Arlo’s. I’m so excited lets go.

Before reading know that in each section, I talk in favor of their mindset. So stuff I’ve written will be true, but will only be half of the story as I would have written the counter-argument in the other person’s p.o.v.. Don’t just read the John section and come after me with how great and right Arlo is. I already know. Please keep reading. Thank you :)

John’s point of view:

John’s argument (? i don’t know what to call it): John is v e x e d because of a few things. Firstly, he’s angry at Arlo for not telling him that he was looking for Sera. Next, he says that it was totally okay for him to beat up Isen. He’s mad because Arlo wouldn’t let him step away from the calm and quiet life he had built for himself. Lastly, he’s angry with Arlo for praising the hierarchy, but at the same time, not listening to John, who is according to Arlo’s rules, a higher authority. As a final statement, John says that he will ruin down Arlo’s precious hierarchy just like Arlo ruined his life (not his exact phrasing, but I like to make things dramatic). That’s a lot of stuff to get into, so let’s get started.

When Arlo turned down John’s request for help in his search for Seraphina, he decided to do his own investigation. Thing is, he didn’t tell John and the whole time that Arlo was finding out information, John was running around desperate to help his friend and one of the only people that could help him and the one that had figured out the most had already turned him down and deliberately done his own search. I would be pissed too. I mean really, Arlo was approached by John and asked if they could combine their powers to complete their mutual goal. But, nooo. Arlo had to deny him and do it himself, also doing his best to inconvenience John.

In regard to Isen’s beating, John has a point. In the past, Isen has lied to John, rudely invaded his privacy and stalked him back to when he was at New Bostin, and hurt John. Despite everyone’s mutual love for Isen (the fandom, not the characters lol), he kind of deserved some sort of beating. His actions are sneaky and self-serving. Isen is thought of as the poor cinnamon bun that is always put in the middle of things. Digging up dirt on John, becoming head of the newspaper, the whole superhero thing with Remi, looking for Sera. But in truth, Isen is put in many of these situations because of his own actions (mostly Arlo’s but even then, John’s side becomes more powerful). True, when requested by Arlo to investigate John, he could hardly turn it down, but the extent that Isen takes his interrogation too was uncalled for and unprofessional. He asked invasive questions and went after John without a thought for the guy. He was only put in charge of the newspaper because Arlo knew he could control Isen and the two could conspire together. He knew that Isen would easily give up information and would leak false information because Isen had ambition to lead the newspaper and Arlo had granted it, but also because Isen has tried to obstruct information in the past to secure his own well-being. Though many of the poorly thought up plans and questionable conspiracies he’s been a part of have been conducted by others, Isen always holds a little blame. His actions are usually always self-preserving and sly, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but because of the harm his actions have indirectly caused, Isen is in no way innocent. I know I went pretty off topic, but I just really wanted to say this. So yeah, Isen kind of deserved the beating….

Also dealing with his beating, technically John is a higher tier than Isen and high-tiers are practically encouraged to establish their authority over those weaker than them. Arlo’s whole problem with John is that he doesn’t, but is John not doing just that when he attacks Isen? Is he not acting like how Arlo thinks he should?

Also, when Tuesday first approaches John, he refers to it as a rank-match. If this qualifies as a rank-match there’s really nothing wrong (kind of similar to above point, but still gotta say.

Finally moving along lol.

Now we’re at the part where John gets mad at Arlo because he disrupted his perfectly peaceful life as a cripple for the belief that all high-tiers should have to be in charge and are separate from everyone else. John isn’t kidding with this. Arlo seriously walked right into John’s life because he hung out with Sera, a god-tier, and Arlo didn’t feel that this was right. That’s it. The whole reason. Arlo didn’t like that Seraphina was hanging out with a low-tier and that’s how this entire drama started. And John had really tried to step away from the high-tier life. After the disaster at New Bostin, he knew that if he ever was in charge again, he wouldn’t be able to put himself in check. He’s already gone through the royalty bullshit system. He tried that already. And he discovered that he couldn’t handle it, not because he was weak or didn’t want the responsibility, but because of what it did to the students around him. John gave up on the hierarchy because in his experience, it brought out the worst in everybody. It brought out the demons in him, it’s brought out the need to be perfect in Seraphina. When he was last involved with the hierarchy, bad stuff happened. John stepped away from that life, he stepped into the light. He was prepared to live life treated as a cripple, spat upon and looked down on to protect himself and others. And everyone was happy! Until Arlo came and ruined it all because he didn’t like his friends hanging out with the riff-raff. Until he ruined it all by invading his privacy. Until he ruined it all by demanding that John come back to the system that ruined his life.

You would think that after all that, Arlo would at least respect the system today. He would understand that there are two parts to the hierarchy that he promotes so much. According to the hierarchy, Arlo has to listen to John. I’ve already covered this briefly when talking about Isen, but now I’m doing it again (brief again too sorry). John tells Arlo as much; that he has to listen to him, but when it’s addressed, Arlo calls it trivial! So I guess the system is only important when Arlo says it is, huh?

We’ve reached the near end of John’s perspective, but there’s one last, and very important, thing to say. John said he was going to break the hierarchy. I have no idea what this is gonna mean. I don’t think he’s gonna reveal himself, but maybe he’ll use his new influence/fear as Tuesday to mess with the students or maybe he’ll do something with Cecile. Whatever it is, I’m hyped.

Not as hyped as I am to write the Arlo section tho ;) (segway).

Arlo’s point of view:

I’m going to address all of the points made above. Because I’ve already explained them above, I won’t go into as much detail, I will just list a reason or two as that supports Arlo’s arguments.

1.) Arlo not telling John that he was looking for Sera

- John was a complete asshole and by agreeing with him and aiding John in his search for Seraphina, that seem to others that Arlo agreed with things John did or that he listened to everything he said, which would ruin the hierarchy. So because of his hatred for John, his pride, and his protectiveness over the hierarchy system, Arlo could not morally help John.

2.) The Isen thing.

- John attacked his friend seemingly for his ability alone! Even if Isen had been a prick to John, he definitely took the beating way too far.

3.) Why Arlo doesn’t listen to John

- He’s an asshole

- He never properly dethroned him and claimed the throne, leaving Arlo as rightful king

- He’s got more important stuff to worry about

- Some of what John is asking is destructive to Wellston and Arlo won’t stand by that

And now, John’s biggest argument: (which i will go fully into)

Arlo’s love for the hierarchy and what it did to him, John, and everyone around them.

When Arlo was younger, he looked up to someone. This person was a role model to Arlo and inspired him. This person was Rei. Within the first two years of Arlo coming to Wellston, Rei was made king. He proposed all of these ideas about equality and self-worth. He told everyone that they mattered and that they belonged. This was a change from any previous king and the students were new to the concept. With Rei’s constant encouragement, they began to treat each other as equals and friends. High-tiers got along with low-tiers and everyone believed in themselves, believed they had something to contribute. Arlo, being a high-tier was introduced to the idea that everyone around him is his equal and that they could all be friends. Because he looked up to Rei, he didn’t question it, just accepted that everyone was happy now. Arlo believed in that system. And so he helped Rei bring up the low-tiers.

Things were going great, until one day, the low-tier realized something. Because Rei said they were all equal, they could do anything they wanted! Suddenly low-tiers were picking fights and trying out for turf wars. If the high-tiers could, why shouldn’t they? Problem was; they were weak. Rei’s insistence that they were equal didn’t change the fact that they had little ability. Soon, low-tiers were getting hurt, hurt by their misconception that they could do anything that the high-tiers could and hurt by the king that introduced them to that misconception. In the end, Rei’s reign did more harm than good, despite his good intentions.

Arlo lived through this. He saw what happened when you gave false hope and he knew what happened when people got confused. He swore to himself that he wouldn’t make the same mistakes that Rei did, that he would honor Rei’s memory by learning from him. And so when Arlo was promoted to king when Rei graduated, he decided that he would abide by the hierarchy previously used before Rei stepped up. He wouldn’t let Wellston fall into chaos again. He wouldn’t let Wellston down. The low-tiers would be treated as such and the responsibility was handed to the high-tiers. Inconvenience on both sides is better than ruin on all sides.

Things are going great. High-tiers are setting examples, low-tiers aren’t getting unnecessarily hurt. Then one day, this new kid shows up. Arlo is only put onto his scent because Elaine tells him that he hung out with Seraphina and Arlo considered her a friend (he didn’t have many considering his position cold demeanor). So he looks into it and is appalled at what he finds! John is supposedly a low-tier, a cripple even, but he acts like he’s the king! He isn’t afraid of the high-tiers, hangs out with Seraphina, the school’s ace, and has no regard for the rules. He acted exactly like low-tiers did when Rei was king. Arlo panicked because he worked so hard to fix Wellston, worked so hard to impress Rei, and then John showed up, threatening to unravel all his work. He remembered what happened when Rei was king and knew what harm an arrogant low-tier could cause.

And so Arlo dug deeper, getting Isen to look into John’s past and personality. Maybe there was something different about this kid, maybe he was just a rarity that had a larger ego than normal. Maybe he wasn’t such a big threat. But when Arlo found out that he wasn’t a low-tier messing up the system, he found another problem. He was a high-tier.

Arlo has stricter rules for high-tier than low-tiers. Though low-tiers will always be there and will always have to be counted on to know their place, high-tiers are the ones who are supposed to tell them where they belong. High-tiers are supposed to be the enforcers and have lots of responsibilities. Even under Rei’s rule, the high-tiers had the most responsibility! It was a must. High-tiers were born with a gift and they had to use it to help the greater good. Whilst John thinks that helping the greater good means being nice to everybody, Arlo knows that helping the greater good is giving everyone a place, it’s letting people know who they are and where they belong. Arlo won’t stand for a high-tier neglecting his responsibilities and at the same time confusing the low-tiers. Because of this, Arlo just couldn’t leave John alone. For the sake of Wellston, for the sake of sanity, and for the sake of order.

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

sorry this is late, but theres a small hiatus so hopefully it doesn't matter too much ;)

Note

psst. be honest. all of the questions. go.

i can’t believe jeanette is tryina kill me in public and i’m still love her??? | not accepting anymoooore | @ltbroccoli

cracks knuckles here we go ( odd numbers 1-9 are here )

2. Are aesthetics important to you? If they are, why?

Not very. It’s fun and cute and all, but I care a whole lot more about “clicking” with people and having fun writing with them.

Exception: If someone’s aesthetic is so overblown that I can’t even find the pages on the blog or read the text, I.....won’t interact with that tbh.

4. How do you explain rp to someone in the real world?

(kicks down my roommate’s door at 10pm) “OK so I’m writing— stop screaming, it’s me,— I’m writing a character in Security and you’re like a double black belt or some shit, can you explain how—”

( My roommates all know it’s a thing I do but I’ve never sent them a link or shown them any of the actual writing. They’ve met a bunch of y’all over like Rabbit streams and @rumdaydreams irl though so like.... They Know. )

More under the cut

6. Do you prefer writing male muses or female more? Why?

Ehhh, depends on my mood. I lean towards female muses in general ( definitely got a bigger chunk of ladies on my list, for sure for sure ) but I love my boys.

8. Name any three things about the rpc that bother you.

Uhhhh A) We’re all such dumb socially awkward blobs so it’s often hard to get to know new people.

B) The feel that if you have a good relationship with one person who writes a canon muse, it’s some kind of lowkey betrayal to write with other people who write the same muse??

C) How much I, a certified card-carrying dumbass, stress myself out about posting on a “regular” schedule. Does that count? Like I want the blogs to look “presentable” lmao and me@me Calm The Fuck Down.

10. Have you ever had a bad experience with commissions? As either someone who makes them or as someone who buys them?

N / A

11. What do you know now about rp that you wish you knew when you first started?

Uhhhh, when I first started was long enough ago and the community was so different a lot of those lessons no longer apply. I wish when I finally jumped over to Tumblr I’d realized quicker how the new like....basic ways of meeting people and posting and all worked, which was mostly just a “calm down and go with the flow more, let go of your stupid rigid old habits” lmaooo.

12. Have you been involved in drama? Do you regret it?

yES. Yeah. Hahaha ha h.

But ummm, not usually. No. Most of my drama has been either A) me posting the very very softest, most diluted version of barely-touching on my politics and my real goddamn life and people being fuckin butthurt as hell about or B) cutting people who were toxic and draining out of my life. So.

13. Have you ever thought about leaving rp? What caused it? What changed your mind?

cw suicidal ideation ment

Yeah. Once I actually did — when I started college I just didn’t have the time, so I peaced from the larger community to just write with close friends for a while. I’ve also considered leaving the T.umblr RPC a few times, but really only because of long bad depressive episodes. Coming back and “not wanting to literally die irl ha Ha” and catching up with my drafts gets me back on track lmao.

14. Do you think rp has had a positive or negative affect on your life or you as a person?

Positive! Sometimes I worry that I spend too much time wrapped up in fiction and miss my real life, but I’ve learned to keep my time more separate so now it’s just good to have a healthy hobby that makes me happy. Also I’m definitely a much better writer for it, and there a lot of networking skills I think translate to real workplace skills so it’s 👌

15. How has rp changed you personally?

See above, tbh. And it gives me a lot of good outlets for writing ideas that would otherwise stew in my head until I hated myself for never ever writing any lmao. It’s good.

16. If you could change one thing about rp on tumblr, what would it be? Why?

Oh, I dunno. I wish I could post replies from mobile more easily, god. That’d keep me a lot more on top of my drafts lmao.

17. Have you ever sent a message to yourself on anon? Why?

Not on any of the rp blogs. ;^)

18. Have you ever sent hate to yourself on anon? Why?

No, wtf

19. Do you delete anon hate or post and address it? Why?

Depends on the hate — things I feel need to be addressed or I want to be clear about not tolerating I’ll post. Personal hate and mean shit I delete.

Or if it’s stupid and makes me laugh I will definitely post that shit.

20. Have you ever felt pressured to write something you weren’t comfortable with?

Sometimes. If a partner is actually pressuring me I’m real good at saying uhhh hey, fuck off about that? but sometimes partners will perfectly-innocently be enthusiastic about things I’m not super comfortable with and that’s harder to bring up. So it’s..... more like I pressure myself, whoops.

21. Have you ever followed someone because you felt like you had to, not because you wanted to?

Ehh. Not really. Sometimes I’ll follow a friend of a friend despite lack of interest just because, like.... My friends are smart and good, maybe I’m just not getting the right “vibe” from their blog as who really they are. Sometimes that just means we never click and I unfollow them later. Or sometimes @rumdaydreams drags me straight to mutual hell and we write 20,000 unfinished bullshit and meet irl and she actually talks me into wholeass new blogs and muses. So, you know. Mix bag.

22. What would make you block someone?

Red flags for manipulation and lowgrade emotional a.buse, especially ones I viscerally feel in my stomach from previous experiences. Obvious r.ight-leaning politics ( Weirdly, I’m not particularly comfortable around people who don’t think I or my friends deserve to be treated like human beings! A character quirk, haha! )

Also ngl sometimes I block people just to remind myself I’ve followed them before and I don’t wanna re-follow them six times and look like I’m trying to intentionally harass them. My memory is bad but the block button always knows, lmao. 😅

23. Have you ever stolen something from someone else?

Not intentionally — I try very hard not to steal hc from duplicates or take plots without asking. But, y’know, sometimes an idea sticks in your head and you eventually just forget where it originally came from.

24. Have you ever had something stolen from you? If so, how did you handle it?

Not that I’m aware of.

25. Are you open to duplicates? Why / why not?

Absolutely, for the most part! I like seeing other perspectives, and especially since @thewrongsorts is such a bigass multi it lowkey just makes my life easier.

There are a few exceptions — less because they’re duplicates and more because there are hc/fanon I just......dislike enough I don’t wanna write with them. Not a feeling that’s limited to duplicates tbh.

26. How do you feel about vague posting?

Ehhh. It’s like not a great thing, but I get the appeal. I tend to unfollow if someone posts a lot of it because then they’re just passive-aggressive as a person, but the occasional vagueblog I don’t mind. Sometimes you gotta get shit off your chest but you don’t wanna make it a wholeass call-out, I get it.

27. Do you follow people even if they don’t follow you back?

Generally I unfollow. I’m here to write, if we’re not interacting it’s clogging my dash. ( Honestly I unfollow mutuals eventually if we never write.... ) But very occasionally someone’s got such good #takes and hc that I stick around just bc I stan.

28. Do you read people’s rules before following or interacting?

A l w a y s.

29. What is your opinion on “reblog karma” and do you practice it?

It’s nice! Like.... I wouldn’t require anyone to do it, but it makes people feel better about their blogs, it’s polite. I know I’m happier getting memes as well as passing them along. You know, be social. Connect with people. I always try to practice it, yeah.

30. How have you responded to popular slang used on tumblr? Do you use it in every day life? Do you use it at all?

Uhhh, yeah. My irl social circles are a lot of dumb gay millennials, we use a lot of dumb internet slang.

31. Is there something you don’t know the meaning of but you haven’t asked anyone because you think it’s supposed to be general knowledge?

Oh yeah! Joined Tumblr rpc ten years late with Starbucks! But also like.... I’m a web developer. 90% of my irl workskills are being good at Googlin’ shit. So I’ve pretty much always found the answer on my own, at least. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

32. Was there ever something you had to ask someone to explain?

( See above. )

33. Have you ever experienced discrimination?

Here or irl or....? I mean yes in any case, but much less often in the rpc specifically. This blog is a lot less outspoken ( both about politics or about who I....am....generally ) than most of my others or me irl.

Shoutout to that time I complained one (1) time about how copacetic the H.arry P.otter rpc is and an actual irl n.eon.azi jumped in my inbox lmaooooooo.

34. How do you feel about personal blogs following your rp blog?

Uhhh, I don’t love it? But if they mostly chill and don’t fuck with my actual threads I usually ignore them. ¯\_( ‘ ‘ )_/¯

35. Have you ever cried while writing a reply?

No. I’m not like......good at crying. 😐

36. Do you read other people’s threads or do you only read your own?

Depends on the blog. Some multis I follow are in fandoms I just like don’t even understand, so I don’t read those. Sometimes I just don’t got the energy. But I read a lot of my friends’ other threads or threads on blogs I stan.

Good writing is good shit and I’m.....a big 👀 bitch. Tbh.

37. What’s one thing that other people seem to hate that doesn’t bother you?

Call-out posts, bringing real life politics into rp, generally acknowledging that we have lives outside of the fictional world that affect how we read and interact with fiction.

( 👏 The O.rder 👏👏 of the 👏 P.hoenix 👏👏 is A.ntif.a 👏👏👏 )

I don’t want to ever push that onto other people though, definitely. (Especially people affected by terrifying irl politics and coming here for escapism. )

38. How do you feel about tagging triggers? Do you tag them? How do you determine what is triggering content and what isn’t?

Always 👏👏 tag 👏👏 fucking 👏 triggers 👏👏👏

I tag things that are common or obviously upsetting, and if someone asks I add whatever tags they need to my list — the “list” is mostly a mental tally so I occasionally fuck up, but god I feel strongly about triggers.

Let 👏 people 👏 who are hurting 👏👏 live. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

39. What advice would you give to someone new to rp?

Poking around to see how other people seem to “operate” and scrolling through posts about how to get started is so so so fucking helpful! Don’t be afraid to do it!

Also reach out to people as much as you can work up the spoons to. If they’re rude back to you, like..... They were never worth your time anyhow. You dodged a bullet.

( Value yourself 2k19 )

The Ghost Of You

20 - You’re Finally Mine

This chapters songs:

I Follow You; Melody's Echo Chamber

Hot Rod; Dayglow

My Jinji; Sunset Rollarcoaster

- Y. L. Perspective

I let out a low groan, attempting to stretch out my arms and legs. But when I touched Koshi's, I remember that we were latched onto each other. Throughout the night, I hadn't imagined that sleeping with him would be so peaceful. His gentle hands holding me against him, the way a simple hum would run vibrations throughout his chest, and best of all: being able to look at such a lovely face to wake up to.

He pays my back gently, followed by his gentle voice. "Y/n? Are you awake?"

I open my eyes slightly to peek at him. A very bright sun ray showered his grey hair and fair skin. "Hm? Yes, I am now." Shoving my face back into his chest, I sigh. "What time is it?"

"It's ten. I'm sorry for waking you, but Isao is wondering if you want breakfast," Koshi explains briefly.

I blink a few times to refresh my mind, nodding slightly. Was his brother serious about making our food? That was something I hadn't experienced in a while. I usually made things for myself or ate leftovers for breakfast.

After Koshi dismisses his little brother, he proceeded to pat my back as if I were falling back asleep. "How did you sleep? I hope I wasn't bothering you all night," he asks me.

"Pretty good. I was very comfortable." A smile appeared on my face without any effort. I trail my fingers across his collarbone under his t-shirt, thankful that my first night with Koshi was as calming as sleeping through the rain. "What about you?"

I was hoping that I hadn't kicked him or done something embarrassing while I was asleep. The risk was a high percentage, especially since I'd spent the night mostly laying on his chest.

But Koshi didn't say much. He only gave me a very warning smile and tightened his hands upon my waist, maneuvering closer towards me. Curious yet scared of what he would do, I grew frantic, feeling my face heat up while he did so. And finally, he closed his eyes, brushing his lips against mine, before kissing me gently.

My hands rushed up to his face as my shoulders stiffened. Such a sudden action made my heart beat out of its chest, I was sure he could hear it.

Unfortunately, he ended our kiss after a few seconds, pulling away from me slightly.

"So, I'm guessing that's a yes?" I manage to let out a few words in my tired voice. Koshi nods, sitting up from his spot.

That was the first time I'd woken up in his bed while lying next to him. And boy, did I cherish that moment as if it were impossible to forget.

"Good morning, Ms. L/n," Isao chimes as Koshi and I walk into the kitchen with our zombie-like behaviors.

Nonetheless, I smile at the boy, happy to be seeing his familiar face. I was beginning to grow on him and his playful personality. I bow and greet him a good morning as well, before Koshi bumps his hip into mine, laying a hand on my back. "Y/n, you don't have to bow every time you see them." He says to me, making me shoot up to stand straight.

"Uh, sorry! I guess it's just an impulse I do to people," I explain myself, followed by Isao's sweet laughter.

"That's alright! I was just about done," he says, placing a small piece of fish onto a pile of a couple of other pieces. Next to the grill pan was some white rice and a pot of miso soup.

The smell fills my nose and I begin to build up my appetite. "Oh, okay! Would you like me to get started on some tea?" I hurry to the other side of the kitchen and attempt to search for a pot. But of course, Koshi stands there with one in his large hands, grinning at me.

"You're our guest, Ms. L/n! Please, sit." Isao carries the plate of rice and fish to the table, accompanied by a few bowls of miso soup. I hadn't been welcomed with such a normal morning breakfast in so long. Not even my friends' parents treated me like this. But mostly because we were all family to each other.

I could only hope that I didn't look too bad. I had changed into some pajama pants and a smaller shirt so I wouldn't look like a homeless man walking around such a nice house. But freshening up my hair, breath, and face could only do so much. As for Koshi, he still looked as beautiful as ever in the mornings.

I make myself comfortable in the same chair I'd say in the previous night, waiting for Koshi and Isao to join me. After they did, I said my thanks, and we began to eat our breakfast.

To my surprise, Isao wasn't half bad at making food. In fact, it was very delicious. Mostly because I hadn't had such a good breakfast meal in what felt like a million years.

"So!" Isao cleared his throat with a gulp of green tea.

"How did you love birds sleep?"

The boy clapped his hands enthusiastically. The nickname made me cringe on the inside, but I simply chuckled lightly and shrugged my shoulders. "Pretty good. You guys have such a lovely home," I comment, replied with a nod from Isao.

"Yeah, yeah. So your band; are you guys popular and all? Sorry, I know that probably isn't what you might want to talk about, but I'm interested in Koshi's new girlfriend," he says, followed by one of Koshi's passive-aggressive throat clearings.

I eye both of them, smiling awkwardly while swallowing my food. "Uhm, it's okay. We're fairly known by a few people at school and some family. Our discography is small since we mostly produce covers or requests we receive from our amount of fans."

It was obvious that Isao was very excited about having a musician in his house. I was only worried that Koshi would grow tired of talking about music. So, I take the wheel of questions and begin my mission to find out more about his family.

"What about you? Are you interested in any sports or art hobbies?" I ask, wiping my hands on one of the small towelettes he gave me earlier.

Isao nods. "Kind of! I like messing around with the drums now and then. But I mostly did a lot of volleyball back in middle school."

I hadn't thought about how old Isao might have been. Curious, I ask, "wait—how old are you? I didn't know you were in high school."

Little did I know that it wasn't something Koshi and Isao weren't up to talk about that subject, for they glanced at each other with surprised looks. "Uh...I should be starting in-person high school after the summer break. Right now, I've been doing homeschooling."

"Oh..that must be nice!" I attempt to lighten the mood a bit. "Are you excited? You get to experience a lot of new and fun things in high school. I'm positive you'll find something you like. Do you plan on going to Karasuno or...?"

"Yeah, I do. I only wish Koshi could have been a second year so we could be closer together!"

The mentioned man coughs while drinking his tea, wiping it soon after. "Uhm, don't worry. I have a couple of people who'll be looking out for you." I assumed he was talking about the volleyball team. Isao would no doubt fit in with those guys.

"You said that you're going to the states after graduation. Is that true?" The sudden question makes both Koshi and me choke on our rice. The only time that I would ever discuss the matter was with my friends. I was always afraid that talking about it in front of him would cause problems between us.

Noticing I grew uncomfortable, Koshi interrupts with yet another question. "Would you like to come with me to Y/n's concert? It's not much of a concert...more of a competition for bands. But if it's okay with her, I could take you with me. I know we'd both love to see her perform live, right?"

Isao practically jumps at the statement. "Wow—really?! Of course! Can we go, Ms. L/n?" He looks at me with big puppy eyes in excitement. How could I have said no?

Proud, I nod to the boy. "Sure thing. But you've gotta be careful in the crowds. There will be lots of people there."

The rest of breakfast was used as a way for Isao and I to get to know each other. Though they came from the same mother and father, Koshi and he were two very different people. It could have been that they got different types of acknowledgment from their parents, or they coped with their mother in different ways. He sure seemed like a rowdy boy. Very charismatic, curious, and a top-notch smart ass.

Koshi and I helped tidy up the kitchen, he notified us he would be going over to a friend's house. I was only to assume that this friend was like family to him, for Koshi dismissed him as if it were nothing. After that, we decided to begin getting ready for the training camp.

—

- K. S. Perspective

"...are you telling me that she's coming with us?" I look at Daichi with a very serious face, afraid of what he would respond with.

I thought it was flattering that Eclair wanted to spend her afternoons at volleyball practice with the team. But was it appropriate to have her come with us to the weekend training camp?

Daichi sighed. "Well, she did ask Takeda and I beforehand and we didn't have it in us to tell her no. Besides, she is a big help to us. She's been doing a lot more than talk to the second years as of recently. Don't you think you're worrying too much about it? I'm sure she won't make a move on you again, especially now that you've got a girlfriend."

"She doesn't know that, dammit." I cross my arms and sink into my seat. I knew that she wouldn't take the news lightly when she found out. If I were lucky, she would last her entire stay in Japan without knowing.

He sighs again, adjusting himself in the seat. "Koushi, just fall asleep. We'll be there in only an hour."

It didn't hurt me that Daichi didn't want to talk about Eclair. She was draining, after all. I prayed that she wouldn't be causing issues during this weekend. The last thing I needed was another inconvenience.

Instead of sitting with Kiyoko the way she usually did, she had to sit alone. Eclair insisted she take her spot next to Kiyoko, but Y/n didn't want to make a big deal of it.

As the bus began driving off into the evening, I look over to the girl, observing her tired eyes as they wander over the valleys outside. Did she mind being alone? I wasn't sure. All I knew was that I wanted more than anything to sneak over to her seat when no one was looking. To have her head rest nicely on my shoulder.

'Would anyone even notice if I were gone?' I think to myself, checking if my best friend was still awake. Sure enough, he was dozing off against the window, giving me an open spot to sneak up next to her.

Careful not to be noticed by Takeda or any other volleyball members, I crouch over to the seat in front of mine. Y/n looks over in a flash, taking both her earphones out. "Kou, what are you doing? Are you allowed to sit next to me?" She whispers to me before the two of us lock eyes.

"I have no clue, but you look tired," I say to her as she closes her eyes and smiles gently. The orange-colored sunlight showered down on her beautiful features, making my heart melt right there in the moment. Desperate to feel her, I bump her head with my shoulder, offering her a personal pillow. She happily accepts and fits right between my left collar bone, making me beam with joy. I pay close attention to her small flinch when I began to ever so gently squeeze her thigh lovingly. Dear Y/n was finally all mine and no one else's, finally. Of course, I knew she belonged to herself and had personal boundaries that I wouldn't dare cross. She was an independent and reluctant girl after all. But my girl. One I would love forever and ever.

Yes I still added fluff at the end what abt it😾

Ily pls note and comment I read every single comment you guys give me and it makes me seriously so happy

“His company wasn’t bad. Not bad at all.” -- the last sentence of yours

“She turned around and went on her way, and all I could think about was how many more times I would see that same back walking.” -- the last sentence of his

I AM SHOOK BY THIS FAKE SHORT STORY LMAO

Everyone is just like holy crap pls don’t read the rest of ours we are ashAMED

When class ends, you’re about to leave and go to the parking lot but subin stops you

“Hey,,, so,,,,,”

“So,,,,,”

“Would you,,, wanna have another cafe date,,,,,,,,,,,”

And you’re both so shy and start blushing and giggling a little here and there OSJLFLJDSJL SO CUTE

A Good Morning on Friday: audition 6 + epilogue

“I have to do my best on Friday. After all, I won’t be able to see you for two days.”

Hamanaka Midori and Narumi Sena are connected by the fact they both attend Sakuragaoka High School and, for one reason or another, their eyes meet inside the train they take to school every morning. Even though both are interested in the other, “good morning” won’t quite come out of their mouths due to their nervousness. Now a senior in the same class as Sena, Midori realizes his true feelings as he repeatedly practices his “good morning”s…?

Find the masterlist with all the chapters here!

Please support Honeyworks by purchasing the novel here!

And it’s done!!! A lot of what happens isn’t new since we got the Nichiyoubi no Himitsu MV but it’s nice seeing all their inner thoughts!!

It’s a courage test I gotta pass and now isn’t the time to run away…

audition 6

The culture festival was approaching in one week and every part of the school was bustling after classes. People running in the busy hallways, the sound of hammers and saws, and the voices of people calling for help as they prepared for the festival.

These were the signs of a festival.

Da freshmen and juniors are really gettin’ fired up.

Midori stopped on his way to the Film Research Club room and absentmindedly looked downstairs. Most of the seniors had their classes in the morning so there were few that were still at school during this time. It was mainly people like Haruki and the others who were still in school working hard on their own work or Ayase who specially stayed behind to help his underclassmen.

“Oh, Midori! Hurry up, we finished setting up the screening for the MV already!” He heard Souta’s voice from the top of the stairs.

Souta was flailing his hands towards him when he looked up, “I can’t help it. Your guys’ room is far from da audiovisual room.” Midori dashed up the stairs while skipping steps and began to walk next to Souta.

“Yeah, yeah. Haruki and Yuu are waiting, too.”

“Huh, Yuu, too? Will it be okay since he’s a exam student…?”

“That’s taboo in front of the person himself. Since he’s been questioned plenty of times by everyone else.” Souta said while wryly smiling and shrugged his shoulders, “But y’know. Isn’t it okay? Even Yuu’s gotta take a break every once in a while.”

“If he’s gonna take a breather, shouldn’t he be doin’ it with Natsuki? Since they finally confessed ta each other, right?”

“Midori, you sound like an old man… Also, that’s taboo, too.”

“What da heck, it’s ‘cause you guys kept teasing him ‘bout it with no mercy.”

They arrived at the classroom in no time as they talked about trivial things. Souta called out, “We’re coming in,” and opened the door with a clatter.

Immediately, a chilling air flowed out from the opening.

“…”

For some reason, Haruki and Yuu were glaring at each other inside the room. Midori unconsciously took a step back from the biting air.

W-What da heck?

“Hey, don’t tell me you guys are still arguing?” Souta said, dumbfounded, without paying mind to the unpleasant atmosphere. Haruki and Yuu both should’ve been able to hear him, but they stayed silent and didn’t once look over at them. It looked like Souta hadn’t been expecting a response as he quickly entered the room, “Didn’t I tell you guys? I told you to make a conclusion on whether we’re using the new take or the previous take while I went to get Midori.” It looked like the problem at hand revolved around their course of action for the movie editing.

Midori couldn’t say anything as an outsider and it looked like he could only watch over the course of events that would occur. Seriously, those two are such brats…huh? When he glanced over at them, their mouths looked like they were trembling for some reason. Were they resisting the urge to shout? Even if it was like that, they were being suspicious, or, more like, strange.

As soon as he figured it out, their shoulders began to gradually shake.

“Hahaha! Both of you fell for it!”

“Mochita, you’re too angry.”

It looked like they had been trying to hold back their laughter. Haruki and Yuu held their stomachs as they burst into laughter with teary eyes.

“You guys, seriously…”

“You’re not funny, geez. Seriously, you guys are such kids!” Souta sat down on the nearest chair and huffed angrily just like the word they used to describe him. Although he had scolded them for being troublesome, he also looked happy.

Well, it’s not like I don’t understand how he feels.

Just a while ago, there was somewhat of a discord in the atmosphere between Haruki and Yuu. Midori hadn’t especially thought to ask them the reason why and neither of them spoke about it. It wasn’t like he wasn’t worried, but he had been optimistic that they’d definitely be okay because it was Haruki and Yuu.

“By da way, what ‘bout the MV? It’s finished, right?” Midori asked as he pulled out a chair next to Souta.

As he did so, Haruki, who had been working the laptop, lifted his head and sniggered, “Don’t be surprised when you see it, okay?”

He was being extremely confident, huh.

That was probably what any other person would say outside of their group if they had heard him just now. But, from the perspective of someone that knew the creations of the Film Research Club consisting of Haruki, Yuu, and Souta, he had thought that this was a natural response. Rather, he probably would’ve laughed at him for being so humble.

“I’m gonna start it.” Haruki said as he clicked the mouse.

The computer screen turned black, then the song’s title was shown. There was a small static sound as the screen shook before the intro began to play. On screen was the school building they were all familiar with. Then, matching the sprinting vibes of the guitar, the camera rapidly dashed up the stairs.

W-Woah… Dis is amazin’, it’s like a movie.

There was a close-up of the door leading to the rooftop before it was opened with great force. What exactly was waiting behind that door?

As soon as he gulped down his breath, the video stopped with a snap.

“Wha-!? Did it malfunction?” Midori asked as he half rose from his seat.

Haruki said while sniggering, “Nope, that was the ending just now.”

“Huh? Didn’t you say dat it was finished…?”

“It is done, but we’re only going to show you up until this part, Midori.”

“That’s right. Look forward to seeing it during the concert!”

Yuu and Souta both added, enjoying every second of it. Though they had said that they were showing him the music video, it looked like they had intended since the beginning to only show him up to that point in the video. It was quite a pretentious way of doing things.

“What da heck is dat…” Midori sullenly puffed his cheeks.

Haruki’s smile was becoming more and more wider, “Don’t be so surprised that you skip your lyrics, okay?”

“Nah, nah, nah! For me ta skip lyrics, I gotta be super surprised, y’know?”

“You’re definitely going to be surprised so give your gratitude later.”

“G-Gratitude?” Midori said, bewildered, at their incoherent words. However, Haruki, Yuu, and Souta were all, for some reason, full of confidence.

Was it really that great of a video? Of course, he had gotten excited just by seeing the intro, but even so, there was a hidden meaning behind the way they were acting.

Don’t tell me they set a trap ta surprise me or somethin’…?

Bzzz. Bzzz.

Someone’s phone vibrated, interrupting his thoughts.

“Oh, it’s mine.” Souta excitedly took his phone from his pants pocket and tapped the screen. Immediately, his face relaxed.

“Is it Hayasaka?”

“It’s probably Hayasaka.”

Both Haruki and Yuu said without even looking at Souta’s phone screen.

“How did ya know?”

“If you look at Mochita’s face, it gives it away.” Haruki said, pointing at Souta as he intensely looked at his phone, with an “I-know-how-it-is” look on his face.

Den dat means… are they like dat? That not only did Yuu and Natsuki start dating, but Souta and Akari did, too. Midori was dumbfounded.

He glanced at Souta just as he lifted his head excitedly, probably having finished reading the text. “Hehe, it’s from Akarin.”

“See?”

“Seriously! Why’re ya bein’ so reserved? If it was like dat, you could’ve told me.” Midori said while poking Souta in the side with his elbow. He thought that Souta would definitely take the opportunity to talk about his love life, but his reaction was something else entirely.

Souta said “That- well, it’s not-” while flailing his hands back and forth. “We’ve only just been going out to eat cakes together!”

“Hmm? Den, you’re tellin’ me… You guys ain’t goin’ out?”

“We aren’t! Well, I mean, I think it’d be great if that happens one day but…” Souta said with his face bright red. It was obvious that he liked Akari judging by his words.

“Midori, you…”

“Huh?” He turned to look at Haruki when he suddenly heard his name.

An indescribable expression appeared on Haruki’s face as he quietly stared at Midori.

What da heck, I feel like somethin’ like dis has happened before… Midori thought as he tried to remember. He then realized when it was. That’s right, didn’t Haruki have a similar expression on his face just after Golden Week? Back then, Haruki had dodged his question and Midori ended up not finding out what he had wanted to say.

“Da heck?” This time, Midori was able to clearly say it.

Haruki was slightly surprised, then he grimaced, “Our graduation ceremony’s gonna be here before you know it.”

“O-Oh. Dat’s true.”

“If a chance comes rolling in front of your eyes, you better take it quickly.”

“H-Huh…?”

What the heck was he talking about?

Haruki ignored Midori’s confusion and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face at his own words.

“Should you be saying that, Haruki?” Souta said with a slight wry smile.

A rare hurt expression appeared on Haruki’s face, “…Not really, I’m just saying it.”

“Well, I guess. But, if you’re gonna do that, then why don’t you tell her, too?”

To who? What?

Midori tilted his head in confusion. On the other hand, it looked like Haruki understood the meaning behind those words. He avoided looking at Souta’s “I-know-how-it-is” look on his face while knitting his eyebrows together with a frown.

“Situations and stuff differ from person to person, so isn’t it okay as long as those people do it without regretting it?” Yuu sighed as if to say he was fed up with them.

Souta’s eyes immediately flashed with a sparkle and said, exaggerating his words, “Ooh! People with girlfriends say different things, huh?”

“Moooochiiiiiiiiitaaaaaa?”

What da heck, I don’t understand what’s goin’ on at all! What da heck are they talkin’ ‘bout? Midori was now completely stranded in the conversation. He watched the others.

Yuu and Souta were talking about “whether or not you can call going to eat ramen a date” while Haruki was completely in film director mode. He was analyzing the screenplay papers that were stacked on top of the desk.

Even if Midori tried asking him a question now, he probably wouldn’t get a proper reply back. He didn’t understand Haruki, but it was true that his words had struck him in the heart. There wasn’t even half a year left until their graduation. On top of that, once the cultural festival ended, their final exams would begin without time to rest before they’d have to prepare for their college exams around the beginning of winter break.

That meant…

‘Bout how much time do I have left to talk to Narumi? The moment he put that thought into words, his chest tightened.

Even though it was an “ill-matched,” “secret” love, he didn’t want to lie to himself about his feelings for her. That’s why he put all his feelings into the song he made for the cultural festival concert. But was he really okay with just that? Would he really be able to say that he wouldn’t regret anything when the time came for their graduation as he watched Sena walk away?

Makin’ a song, singin’ it, and den havin’ her listen to it… Of course I can’t be satisfied with just dat!

It would be great if his feelings were conveyed to her, even just a little bit, through his song. That was what he was thinking in the back of his mind, but that was only his own self-satisfaction. He wanted Sena to know about his feelings. He also wanted to ask her about her feelings. Since it was like that, he probably had no choice but to confess to her first.

I’ll put all my heart, all my feelings, inta singin’ and den when da concert ends, I’ll… He reached a decision quickly.

Midori left the Film Research Club room with a, “I’ll see ya guys later!” and walked into the hallway. He then took his phone out from his pants pocket.

“We made a new super awesome song for da cultural festival. I’m gonna sing with all my heart, so I definitely would like you to come and listen to it.”

He checked it again and again before softly pressing the send button. Sena probably wouldn’t be able to send a reply until late into the night. She had left school the moment morning classes had finished because she had a magazine photoshoot today. He was about to return to the home screen on his phone when he saw “read” appear next to his message. His phone then vibrated to indicate that he received a message.

“I will definitely go. I’m also lokking forward to seeing you that day!”

Huh? Lokking forward to? Did she accidentally make a mistake while typing “I’m looking forward to seeing you?” It looked like Sena herself hadn’t noticed it because the next thing she sent was an animated panda stamp saying “see you later” as it waved.

Dis kinda stuff happens to Narumi, too, huh. He found another new side to her and that made him feel giddy.

He wanted to see Sena’s different expressions. What did she like and what kind of guy was her type? No matter what it was, if it was her, then he wanted to know more. Even her dislikes and what she couldn’t do; he wanted her to not hold back and tell him everything.

“Just you wait, cultural festival…!”

★ ★ ★ ☆ ★ ★ ★

The day of the cultural festival was a fine, clear autumn day.

Midori helped out at his class’ food stall making lots of yakisoba, then spent his break time with Haruki and the others. He carefreely spent the time he had until their concert in the afternoon while walking and exploring all parts of the festival.

He spent that time in a flash before it was time for rehearsals. Due to the Drama Club’s play beginning soon in the gym, their final tuning was, like always, in the audiovisual classroom.

When Midori opened the door to the classroom, the three of his bandmembers were already holding their instruments. “You guys’re so gung-ho!”

“Well, yeah. We ended up choosing to do 3 songs along with that original one, so it’d be pretty embarrassing if we let them hear a bad performance. We’d definitely be laughed at even at our graduation!”

“Suzuki, you idiot… Be careful what you’re saying, it’s bad luck.”

“Well, I guess. He’s been like this since way before.” Kuma, the drummer, said with a wry smile as he glanced at Hiromichi who was clutching his bass guitar with a pale face.

It’s always like dis right before a concert.

But that would also end today. Although they’d probably still get together after graduation, no one knew if they’d still have their instruments then. If that was so, then this would possibly become their last stage.

…No, dat stuff doesn’t matter right now.

Midori stood in front of the other three and quietly lowered his head, “I’m thankful dat you guys’ve been goin’ along with my selfishness all dese years. Thanks.”

“…Midori, you don’t have to say stuff like that.” Suzuki said, laughing it off, probably on purpose.

Midori raised his head, “It’s okay, listen to me,” then continued, “I’m glad dat we’ve come dis far in da club with dese members here.” After saying it, his vision gradually began to distort. Midori pretended that he was wiping his sweat and roughly rubbed his eyes.

Normally, they would tease him in this kind of situation, but it didn’t look like any of them were in a teasing mood.

Suzuki, who easily got into the mood of the conversation, firmly bit down on his lips as if he was trying to overcome something, “M-Me, too. I was thinking that too…!”

Taking Suzuki’s words as a signal, Kuma and Hiromichi also continued, “Thanks for these 3 years.” “It was a lot of fun, seriously.”

“No, no, you can’t. You gotta wait until after da concert to cry…”

“Midori, what’re you saying when your eyes are watering?”

He wondered who was the first to burst into laughter. Laughter from the four of them echoed in the audiovisual room. No matter if they cried or if they laughed, this was their final high school concert.

★ ★ ★ ☆ ★ ★ ★

It looked like the play from the Drama Club was a huge success this year as well. The commotion from the audience still hadn’t stopped even when Midori and the others arrived on the side of the stage in the gym.

“It’s kinda nerve-wracking to be performing after them.” Suzuki said with a wry smile as he peeked out at the audience from the gap in the curtains.

Though Midori had agreed and said, “Yeah,” he held his cheeks in both hands and slapped them to snap himself out of it. It would be hopeless if they let themselves be overwhelmed by the atmosphere now. “Da stage is warmed up ‘nough for us now, so let’s get dem more excited with our concert.” Midori said and held out his hand to Suzuki and the others.

The three of them immediately understood what he was doing and extended their own hands.

“Let’s do our best and have fun for today’s concert! One, two…”

“YEAH!” The four of them shouted, their voices together as one, in a circle.

His body strangely became lighter. Although he was still nervous, his heart beat quicker at the expectation that he held for their concert. Midori lifted the corners of his mouth with a grin and walked out onto the stage.

Each of them stood in front of their instruments on stand by and gave the signal to the cultural festival committee. Immediately, the buzzer in the gym rang and the curtain slowly lifted. The excitement that had seen from the audience from the gap in the curtains directly wash over them and their hearts beat loudly.

Aah… I really love dis feeling.

The moment he felt the gaze from the audience, Kuma began to count down with his drumsticks.

1, 2, 3, 4…

The first note came from Midori’s guitar. He strummed his pick with strength just like the dozens of times he did so during practice. The MV began to play on screen at the same time. The audience probably hadn’t thought that they’d prepare something like this because they heard stirring voices from below them.

The short, but what felt like a long, intro would soon come to an end and the parts that the three others added to the song would come. And, it was at that time that…

“Ah!” Someone in the audience yelled. Other people with surprised expressions were also pointing at the screen.

What the heck appeared on the screen?

Midori turned his head and it was at that moment that he froze. So da thing dat I had to look forward ta was dis! The person being projected on the screen was Sena. It was only her back but there was no doubt about it. There was no way that he could mistake anyone else for her. After all, she was the person he liked. It almost seemed like his breathing had stopped when she smiled at him on the screen.

“Midori! The lyrics, the lyrics!” He heard a voice come from behind him away from the mic.

When he looked at the source of the voice, Suzuki was making a panicked expression. Suzuki pushed Midori’s back with his shoulder while skillfully performing, causing Midori to suddenly come to his senses.

Now I’ve done it, I seriously skipped some lyrics… It was a good defeat. Midori laughed, doing it away from the mic, then jumped back into singing.

This was a sensation that he hadn’t had before.

Maybe it was because this was a song that he wrote himself, but, even without especially making it a point to put his feelings into his performance, his feelings were already naturally spilling out.

In the tips of his fingers that pressed down on the guitar chords. In his trembling throat. In his pulsating heartbeat. He was singing, throughout his body, that he loved Sena.

Before he knew it, the audience was clapping their hands to the beat of the music. The wave of their enthusiastic atmosphere swept all the way across the stage and he felt a thrilling current rush through him from the bottom of his feet.

When they talk ‘bout a sense of unity, they mean dis, huh?

The song entered its interlude and, immediately, the guitar solos began. Midori came in a beat after Suzuki and, matching the leaping sounds of their guitars, a single spotlight was turned towards the audience. Emerging from the foot of the light was Sena.

She came ta listen to us…!

He was happy, he was nervous, he was excited; in any case, a variety of feelings simultaneously overcame him from the pit of his stomach and it almost looked like his heart would fly out from his mouth. Then, in the next moment, he felt his eyes meet Sena’s.

Go. od. Lu. ck.

He saw her mouth these words and somehow, without any reason at all, he wanted to cry.

I, I really like Narumi after all.

The interlude then ended and finally the “boy” in the song would express his feelings to “her.” Even though “he” knew that he was ill-matched with “her,” he didn’t give up. That’s why, he decided that he would take a step at a time to become closer to “her” ideal person. Then, he would tell her his feelings. He would look straight ahead at only “her” with all the feelings he held.

“I love you.”

★ ★ ★ ☆ ★ ★ ★

Sena snuck out of the gym by herself while the audience was still moved by the lingering aftereffects of the concert. If she had stayed there any longer, it was likely that she would’ve burst out into tears.

She crouched inside an empty classroom and steadied her breathing. Hamanaka’s song was amazing…

He had “sung with all his heart” like he said he would in his messages. The song itself had a bright mood that felt like it was sprinting. But every part of the lyrics overflowed with Midori’s feelings and it made Sena’s chest tighten as she listened to him. Before she knew it, there had been a single line of tears running down her cheeks.

…That must mean Hamanaka is in love, too. She had that feeling after listening to that song. He wouldn’t have been able to sing with that much of his heart if not.

Who does he like? I’m jealous of her… just kidding… What’s the use of thinking that after all this time?

Sena bit down on her trembling lips. The reason why she had decided to appear in the music video that Haruki and the others made was because she wanted to take that one step forward. That, even if it were a “secret love,” she didn’t want to turn her back on her own feelings. She had been satisfied with just that.

It should’ve been okay even if she didn’t confess, was what she had thought. But her heart was stubbornly honest. She had thought that she would be able to convey something, even if only just a little bit, from the music video and had replied to Midori’s message with, “I’m also looking forward to seeing you that day!”

The song that Midori wrote was full of his straightforward feelings regarding love. It wasn’t just all lip-service. He sang without sugarcoating his words; that he was engulfed in both anxiety and jealousy. That falling in love with someone could be like a battle with yourself. That the extent of how true your feelings were for that person would also make your anxiety that much larger.

Sena had realized while listening to his song that she had unconsciously overlapped the song with her own feelings. And her back was being pushed by the “boy” in the song. Like how the “boy” confessed to “her,” she would tell Midori her feelings. No matter what the results turned out to be.

…That’s right, I have to properly tell him my feelings. Her phone vibrated at the same time she raised her head with her resolution made. In the new notifications section, she saw Midori’s name and her heart leapt. A message from Hamanaka… I wonder what’s it about?

The cultural festival would end in only a few more minutes and the only event remaining was the closing party.

Sena tapped on the screen nervously with trembling fingers.

“Once da closin’ party starts, can you come to da gym?”

She unconsciously stopped breathing while she read his message. The minute she finished reading it, her heart suddenly beat loudly. Maybe, this is… this might be my chance!

There would be no one at the gym during the closing party. The party was an event that took place in the schoolyard and would focus on the cultural festival committee.

Sena stood up straight and sent a stamp of Kumapan* saying “OK.” It would be okay. She was no longer the girl who couldn’t even greet Midori. Like the rainy day when she lent him her umbrella, she only needed to make her body move.

I have to be courageous one more time. Right? Was what Sena told herself as she opened the classroom door.

★ ★ ★ ☆ ★ ★ ★

As expected, the front of the gym had returned to being quiet. The countdown until the closing party began had started in the schoolyard.

5, 4, 3…

Sena also counted down inside her head matching the sound of the school’s bright voices. Her pulse was going wild and the sensation was becoming strange. During that time, she may have forgotten how to breathe because she was so nervous.

2, 1.

Suddenly, the sound from her surroundings quieted as if they were far away. The only thing that appeared in her mind was Midori’s smile.

The moment they finished counting, Sena pulled open the cold, heavy door. The heat that was trapped inside the gym floated out and blew over her cheeks. Midori was standing in front of the stage.

“Hamanaka, sorry for making you wait…!” Sena said as she rushed over to him.

Midori nodded. However, that was all he did and he didn’t say anything back. It somehow looked like he was nervous.

Is it something that hard to talk about…?

Though Sena was confused as to why he had asked to meet with her, she smiled at the frozen Midori, “Good work with the concert! The concert was really lively.”

“…Mm.” This time, she faintly heard his voice. Although it was only one sound, Midori’s mouth wouldn’t move as if it had been locked shut.

Maybe his voice became hoarse from the concert earlier?

The moment she thought that, she heard a voice murmur from somewhere, “L-L-Li…” No, it wasn’t from somewhere, it was from Midori right in front of her, “L-L-Likkya… No, um…”

Sukiyaki*?

Midori’s face went red when he saw Sena tilt her head with a questioning look. He turned his face downwards.

Oh, his face just now… cute…

She wanted to see it up closer. When she thought that, she took one step, then another, and shortened the distance between her and Midori. During that time, her heart beat wildly, so much that it hurt, but her legs wouldn’t stop. She wanted to see all of Midori’s expressions. She wanted to do stuff like see him more and hold his hand. She wanted to know what sweets he liked and what color he liked. Even the things he wasn’t good at or the things he couldn’t do, she wanted him to tell her everything without holding back.

I want to become Hamanaka’s special person.

That was why, she needed to take that first step forward. She would look straight up at Midori, then confide him with her feelings. “Can I have you to myself?”

The next moment, Midori raised his head with a snap. His cheeks were even more redder than she had seen them earlier. But, that probably was the both of them. Her own cheeks were probably turning red.

“Hamanaka.” Sena wanted an answer so she looked straight at him without averting her gaze.

Midori was no longer averting his gaze. He took two deep breaths, then a third, and slowly opened his mouth, “Y-Y-Ya…”

“Ya?”

“Yay! It’s mutual!”

“Huh?”

Midori pumped his fist into the air while Sena looked at him blankly. That, that meant, in other words, that her confession was being accepted? Maybe, surely, definitely for sure. But she still wanted to hear him say it properly.

Sena said his name, “Hamanaka,” while pouting her lips just a little bit, “I want to hear your answer.”

“!” Midori’s eyes widened and his face turned red in an instant. His eyes moved from side to side as he mumbled, “Huh, um, I –”

Seeing Midori like that made Sena smile and she continued to stare at him as she wanted for his answer.

“I-I, um…”

“Yeah?”

“…If you’re okay wit me, den I’d be happy.”

“It can’t be anyone but you.” Sena said and pinched his red cheeks. Midori was surprised at first, but, whether or not it was conveyed that she was hiding her embarrassment, he bashfully laughed.

What is this… my head feels light… She was so happy that she felt it all the way to the back of her throat.

“…Y’know, Narumi.” Midori hesitantly said.

It looked like Sena would cry if she said anything now, so she urged him to continue with her eyes. When she did so, he gently caressed the hand that was pinching Midori’s cheek.

“Me, too. It can’t be anyone but you.” He held her hand tightly. Midori’s hand was as warm as her own, “I love you.”

She processed the meaning of his words a moment late, but the moment she did her tears overflowed.

Midori panicked, asking, “A-Are ya okay!?”

She was so overwhelmed with emotions that her words wouldn’t come out at all.

The phrase “I love you” had this much destructive power… Even now, she felt like her heart would explode. It was such a real sensation and it was telling her that this wasn’t a dream.

Sena wanted to tell Midori how she was so happy that it hurt. She looked straight at him, “…Me, too…”

“Hmm?”

“I love you, too.”

Midori’s eyes rapidly widened at Sena’s words.

Then, without knowing who it came from first, they burst into wide smiles.

“Please take care of me.”

“Please take care of me, yeah?*”

epilogue

He had always thought that it was an ill-matched love. But, when he took that one step forward, Sena had been reaching her hand out to him like he was to her. They, then, took each other’s hands and became boyfriend and girlfriend.

However, due to Sena being a part of the entertainment industry, the fact that it was a secret love hadn’t changed. Sena had Midori all to herself. On the other hand, Midori didn’t have the “magazine model Narumi Sena” all to himself.

This love was their own little secret.

★ ★ ★ ☆ ★ ★ ★

8:07, the 2nd train car on platform 2.

Sena got on the train at the usual time at the usual place.

Midori quietly turned back and naturally said, “Mornin’.” He said only that one word before he turned his back to Sena. That was the distance between classmates.

For some reason, there were junior high schoolers gathered when they arrived at the station nearest their high school. As soon as they saw Sena, they rushed up to her without delay. It seemed like they had been waiting for her. With things like colored paper or the magazines that Sena worked for as a model in their hands, both girls and boys pressed her with, “Please sign this!”

Looks like Narumi’s in trouble… would it be betta if I go save her…?

Midori nonchalantly glanced in her direction and his eyes met with Sena’s. In just that one moment, Sena sweetly smiled. She hadn’t said anything, but that was enough.

Midori passed by Sena and the others without stopping or saying anything.

She’s so popular like always, huh. It didn’t mean that Midori didn’t have his own thoughts about it after seeing her approached in that way. But the “magazine model Narumi Sena” belonged to everyone. And, Narumi Sena’s lover was him and only him. That reality became the driving force that pushed Midori forward.

Anyway, it’s ‘kay if we just go our own pace without bein’ in a hurry. Oh yeah, maybe I’ll call her tonight. And ask her if she wants ta go to da amusement park on our next day off to re-do dat day!

★ ★ ★ ☆ ★ ★ ★

There may be difficult times, but if it’s with us, then it’ll be okay. After all, I’ll be with you. From now and in the future, let’s keep making fun secrets together.

* Kumapan is the name of the Honeyworks mascots * Midori stutters while trying to say “suki” and ends up saying “su-su-ki-iya” which sounds like sukiyaki * They’re saying よろしく to each other. There’s not really a good way to translate it since it’s a cultural thing, but it’s like them saying they’re looking forward to their new relationship.
