#look at all these prizes holy crap

[yandere-sins]

holy crap your previous könig and ghost yan are so good😭 i have this idea, and idk if anyone has incorporated it in any yan stories of them, but the idea of unmasking them and seeing their faces for the first time???? like this is pre-established relationship (with either men idk up to you to imagine which) where you haven’t seen their faces…yet. the most you know is the intimidation you feel every time you see them—or see them lurking around you but like, imagine a scenario where the reader is trying to get them to take off their mask + plus i’m pretty sure ghost and könig has yet to have canon appearances so i’d like to hear your interpretations of them!!!

I had this idea in a not yandere-sense and it was so wholesome and adorable and just intimate where they let you unmask them for the first time, kind of hesitant, but so adoringly... Maybe I should write the harmless version one day, but for now, this is still a yandere blog sorry hahaha! Thanks for requesting!!

»»———————— ♡ ————————««

König

♡ König is so flustered. Poor man doesn't even think he deserves you being so agreeable that night, sitting in his lap, allowing him to touch you (shallowly, but his fingers are on your body, and that's more than most nights). Yet, you also caress him back, not saying anything or giving him reasons why you're being so nice. You told him so many times you hate him, driving a dagger into his poor heart over and over. Yet, your fingertips are tracing his shoulders and collarbones gently, carefully. He can't stop swallowing hard with all the drool collecting in his mouth, his brain befuddled with intense adoration and need for you to do more. To touch him more, to make him feel your hands and body rougher than the fluttering touches you're bestowing onto him.

♡ That's the only reason he allows your hands to go further. He really likes his mask, but you driving your hands under it, touching the hot skin underneath, well... it raises more questions and also something else between his legs. But König is way too scared to ruin this moment. He's also afraid of you uncovering something you might not like. A face you might find ugly or scars that you will laugh about. He doesn't want you to think badly of him, even though he can't change his looks anymore. At the same time, he really doesn't want you to stop. Just one more inch of skin bared to you. One more touch of your fingertips and all these feelings he harbors for you might explode out of him. But when you get to the stubble on his chin, your thumb having pressed deliciously into his throat and giving him a kick of adrenaline, suddenly, König revolts. Picking you up and setting you down on the couch before getting up and leaving the room in a hurry, he pulls his shirt-mask down as much as he can. After all, it was a bit too much for him; maybe you'll have more luck next time.

♡ (Yes, he's in the bathroom and miserable that he stopped you. Yes, he needs to take a cold shower afterwards, and yes, he still jerks off despite the icy temperature, bemoaning the roughness of his hands compared to yours.)

Ghost

♡ You know, Ghost really didn't plan to let you do it. It's his thing; he doesn't mind being always covered up and unreadable. It also helps with you and keeping you a bit fearful at all times. But when curiosity kills the cat, and you start playing with the seams of his mask, he just... lets you. Ghost wants to know how far you're willing to go, how bold you are—and how much he can take. He's not ashamed of his face, but the mask is his identity, so there might still come a moment when it's uncomfortable for him. But at the same time, this is like a game to him. One he knows he can stop at any given time, but which will yield a lot of prizes if he endures it.

♡ Because really, what's more adorable than you realizing he's not reacting? You thinking you're allowed to do what you want? You're testing the waters carefully, with only the tips of your nails slipping under the tight mask. Ghost watches you through his lashes as he pretends to still be dozing, unbothered and relaxed. In reality, he's controlling his instinctual flinches as everything screams at him to stop you. But you're not out to unmask and kill him, you're just curious. And you grow bolder, fast. He loves that look on your face, the concentration as you loosen the fabric so it might roll up his neck. You keep glancing at him, and though he knows you want to check if he's still asleep, it feels like you're asking his permission. And Ghost gives it to you. He's in control. So he even cranks his neck so you can push it up his chin, exposing his mouth, excitement about your achievement palpable. But when you adjust your position to continue, driving your hands under the mask and cupping his face, Ghost decides it's enough, pushing upwards to meet you in a kiss.

♡ He'll have you flipped over and complaining faster than you can react to, hands pinned above your heads, and your complaints turning into gasps and moans as he deepens the kiss, his hands exploring you until you arch your body into his touch and your mind is woozy from the loss of oxygen. Now that his mouth is out, he might as well use it to both of your pleasures and who knows, maybe he'll let you go a bit farther next time.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

warnings: none - !sfw

summary: y/n is a volleyball star who's teammate happens to be obsessed with a certain team's striker. For her friends birthday, she decides to get her a signed jersey but ends up trending because of a specific "encounter".

note: fem!reader x nagi seishiro / (f/v) = favorite vehicle / not proofread

'I can't believe I'm fucking doing this...'

Yet here I was, driving myself in my (F/V) to a football stadium which I swore I would never step foot in since the age of 12.

Despite my better judgement, I didn't really have a choice since I already had a #11 football jersey that need to be signed and a bought ticket which is probably worth my rent right now. I wish I was joking.

"Holy crap- there's barely any parking."

I step out of my vehicle with my (F/C) sweatshirt, sunglasses and black biker shorts as well as my (F/C) sneakers to match. My hood and sunglasses where on to hide as much of my identity as possible, the last thing I need was my face trending all over twitter about me going to a football stadium despite my open dislike for the sport.

I walk in, submit my ticket, enter the actual stadium and finally take my seat in the best row possible. The jersey was in my leather, black backpack which had a volley ball charm and random cartoon character keychains and stickers all over it from carnival prizes. I sit with my arms crossed as I wait for the players to make their entrance. A large cup of (F/D) and a bucket of popcorn by my side to numb my misery for the next 90 mins, it's not like I hate the sport with every fibre of my being, It's actually the fans. If you ask me basketball is definitely superior, second to volleyball, but that's not a conversation people will ever be ready to talk about.

The football players start to walk into he field as the stadium gets noisier by the second. People cheering and chanting as I simply sit down and munch on my buttered popcorn.

'Thank goodness that these people aren't in my line of vision.'

Amongst the teams fileing in, I notice a tall (like really tall) white haired man make their way onto the pitch. I lift my sunglass up slightly and narrow my eyes just to make sure I'm seeing things clearly. He has large gray eyes that you would expect to be full of expression but hold literally not a hint of interest in them. I look down at his uniform and notice the #11 written in large on the back of his jersey, my mouth drops as I realize that my friend might actually be on to something.

"He's actually beautiful, wtf."

I mumble low enough so no one else could here. I quickly snap out of my trance as the voices of the crowd screaming snap me back to reality. A sudden pit of nervousness could be felt in my stomach as my eyes continue to follow his every move. For a split second, I notice him looking towards my direction as I pull the drawstrings of my hoodie to hide myself from embarrassment.

'Ok.. so maybe this might be A LOT harder to do than I thought. Should of just bought a signed jersey on Amazon.'

The match finally ends with the screaming of fans from my side of the stadium as the counter finally hits 90:00. My mouth dropped, TO. THE. GROUND. As I try to process wtf just happened. A specific athlete managed to score the winning goal within the last 3 min, made 4 goals beforehand and manages to look as if what he did was normal. Anyone could tell that I was visibly shaking from all the adrenaline coursing through my veins simply by watching.

'THAT WAS SO- THAT WAS SO-'

I didn't know if it was my speechlessness or the running of a bunch of fans, trying to get a closer look at the winning team, that caused me to stutter so much. I blink a few times before I grab all my things and run just as quickly as them towards the same direction. The set up was like the one you would see in concerts, silver railing that reached just above my torso and many others to prevent fans from getting any closer.

I quickly grab the jersey from the safety of my backpack as I noticed a specific player about to enter my line of sight.

'I will get this signature, EVEN IF ITS KILLS ME!!'

But as if my motivation was some sort of sin, one of the many fans begins to constantly nudge me in the shoulder with her elbow as another does the same on the other side of where I stood. I lightly curse to myself as I begin to nudge them back. The nudging escalated until I was shoved forward harshly, causing the cheap railing to break, my hood and glasses falling off in the process as well. I close my eyes shut as I await to be greeted by the cold, hard floor. But to my surprise, (probably not yours lol) I don't. And it scares the shit out of me more.

I quickly cling to the piece of fabric shielding my face from a very toned chest as I feel a gentle set of arms wrap around my shoulders. I internally shudder at the sudden context as I mentally curse myself out, the grip on the jersey long gone as I finally find the courage to look up at the person who saved me from becoming the next meme of the month.

I'm met with a pair of gorgeous grey eyes, opened wide probably because of the sudden reveal of my identity or the quality of the railing.

'Kill me now.'

I give him a nervous close-eyed smile as his eyes casts over to the now wrinkled #11 jersey on the floor, his brows furrowed in the process.

"Haha, you wouldn't mind signing that right? It for a friend yk..."

3 MONTHS, 3 DAYS, AND 33 MINUTES

3 MONTHS, 3 DAYS, AND 33 MINUTES MASTERLIST

SUMMARY II you've always had feelings for your gray haired senior. To the point that you'd confess to the man in front of the whole Akademiya. Pitying you, he gives you 3 months, 3 days and 33 minutes to make him fall for you. Let the roller coaster of chaos begin!

PAIRINGS || Alhaitham x Gender Neutral Reader, slight Kaveh x reader

TW || FNAF lore dump, claw machines, false brand names put on purpose to avoid copyright, and bad aim

CHAPTER IV — arcade date?? more like FNAF lore dump

“ COME ON, KAVEH!! ”

A loud, hearty voice was heard outside the dorm room, with loud banging coming from the door.

The day has come where both [Name] and Kaveh finally have a free day and they have decided to go to the arcade for fun. Maybe, try to win some prizes.

For it is currently 9 AM, and Saturday. Seriously, they couldn't thank god more as it is the weekends where they're finally (temporarily) free from assignments.

So when the door finally opened, [Name] expected Kaveh to answer it.

Not the big, bulky, strong, big titty, gray haired senior they've been crushing on.

“ Kaveh's at his studio. Stop banging at the door already. ” Alhaitham stated, clearly annoyed by the endless amounts of continuous door knocking.

“ ... ” “ ... ”

“ OH- WAIT WHAT?!?! THAT LYING CUNT, HE PROMISED ME TO GO TO THE ARCADES TOGETHER TODAY. FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT. ” [Name] yelled, finally realizing what he said. Too busy to stare at his fat tits earlier.

“ I'VE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO IT, THE FUCK. I EVEN DRESSED UP FOR THIS. ” More yapping came out of the [Hair Color]'s mouth.

“ Will you shut up already?! I didn't sign up for you yelling your lungs out. ” The [taller/shorter] male massaged his forehead in annoyance.

“ ... Fine! You're going with me in exchange of Kaveh. Go dress up!! I ain't taking you out looking like this. ”

“ .. Excuse me? ” “ BLAME KAVEH FOR THIS, NOT ME. I CLEARED MY SCHEDULE FOR THIS, MAN. ” “ Alright, fine. Jesus Christ. ”

Kaveh, I swear to god. If you come back, I'll throw your art to the trash compacter.

FONTAINE ARCADE PALACE

The sign glowed in bright blue, as the two main protagonists stand in front of it. From the looks of the building, it seems to have 5 stories, and each floors glowing with bright lights.

“ Holy crap. It's beautiful. ” [Name] remarked, amazed by the sights.

“ Who'd waste their money on some arcade instead of public libraries. ” “ Uhh, Fontaine Co’ . Obviously. ”

As the two entered the building, glowing arcade machines were placed everywhere, claw machines, Maroi Kart machines, Cap Man, and more. Heck, there's even custom trash cans and posters from multiple TV shows and games.

“ This is truly heaven. ” It was so beautiful, [Name] couldn't help but tear up. While the [taller/shorter] man just deadpans.

“ C'MON!! Let's go to the dispensing machine and exchange our money. WE NEED THEM COINS TO PLAY. ” The [Hair Color] exclaimed gleefully, taking the male's hand before running to the nearby dispensing machine.

It's gonna be a long ass day and we all are here for it.

The Pokachu Doll falling from the claw for the fourth time was the last straw for poor [Name]. As they finally screamed in annoyance.

“ ARGRHSGSHSGSKHS STUPID RIGGED CLAW MACHINE. GIVE ME THE POKACHU DOLL DAMMIT. ” [Name] shouted, almost punching the machine before realizing that they could get a fine for it AND get banned from Fontaine Arcade Palace. Before putting their fist down.

Seeing this is so funny even Alhaitham couldn't help but chuckle.

“ Let me try. ” He spoke, gently pushing the [taller/shorter] person aside. Finally putting 5 coins in the claw machine.

2 minutes haven't passed yet, but he somehow got the Pokachu Doll safe and sound.

At first try too.

This man is too dangerous to be left alive. (And a virgin).

As the Pokachu Doll came out of the claw machine, the male took it before giving it to the [Hair Color].

“ HOW- I THOUGHT YOU DON'T LIKE ARCADES?? WHAT. DID YOU USE SOME KIND OF SORCERY?!?!?! WTF. ” [Name] beamed, confused as hell.

“ It's easy. I just use my brain and some calculations here and there. How ‘bout you use your brain next time? ” The man mocked them, a slight smirk showed in his face.

“ FUCK YOU AND YOUR STUPID BRAIN. I CAN DO THIS BETTER THAN YOU. ” The [taller/shorter] person declared, “ Pfft. Yeah, we'll see. ”

[Name] lost by 21 dolls Alhaitham managed to fish out from the claw machine.

“ Oh, Five Nights at Friddy's. ” Alhaitham claimed, as he saw a FNAF game machine while trying to get more Fontaine coins.

“ The game? I know that. It's really hard- ” [Name] scratched their cheek, having a slight flashback of them falling off their chair while playing FNAF 2 at their lecture.

“ I love the part where we find out that the one we're playing all along ever since the first game is the son of William Efton, Michael Efton. ” The male stated, “ What ” [Name] questioned.

“ You didn't know? Some player you are. ” Alhaitham sighed, “ YOU- ” “ Basically, ever since the start of the game. We were playing as Michael Efton, we've both seen that we keep signing up as a night guard at the restaurants of William Efton. The story starts when William Efton had a restaurant with- ”

Oh, no.

He's rambling.

No....

HE'S LORE DUMPING.

“ Can we just get the coins an- ” “ Shh, shh. ” [Name] was shushed with Alhaitham shoving his finger inside their mouth, forcing them to listen.

Taking it out, the [Hair Color] couldn't help but blush a bit. “ I'M NOT A BABY WTF DON'T SHOVE A FINGER IN MY MOUTH. ”

“ It silenced you, though. ” [Name] was speechless upon that statement, now letting out stammers and stutters.

“ Now, where were we? Oh right, William's son, Evan, was severely terrified and had PTSD signs near his father's creations, the animatronics. His older brother, Michael, found out and took advantage of it and.. ”

[Name] got lore dumped by the very same person who they have a fat crush on in within 2 hours.

By the time night arrives, and the clock strikes 8 PM, the two finally decided it was time to call off the day.

“ You may have won our bet of the claw machines.. BUT I STILL WON A PAIR OF KEYCHAINS!! ” [Name] stated, refusing to admit defeat. “ Good for you. I still won, technically. ” “ Ugh.. ”

“ Should I give the cookie keychain to Kaveh as a souvenir? It looks like the type of thing he'd like. ” The [taller/shorter] person asked, “ Don't know. It's yours. ” The gray haired male replied.

“ .. I'll give it to you then! ” [Name] remarked, giving the male the cookie keychain, while keeping the milk keychain with them.

“ Huh? ” “ It's for you! To remember this date! Ehehe! ” The [Hair Color] smiled gleefully, as the man finally takes the keychain with him.

“ Plus, milk and cookies! It's a good pair of a late night snack! You know? ” [Name] added, as Alhaitham kept looking at the cookies keychain.

A small chuckle was heard as Alhaitham couldn't help but smile a little from this stupid action.

“ You're so childish it's stupid. ” “ WHAT- UGH, IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, JUST GIVE IT TO KAVEH THEN! I'm going back to my dorm! ” [Name] grunted, stomping away angrily.

“ Hey! Did you tell [Name] that I was busy and I had sudden plans today? Where did you go anyways? ” Kaveh asked while the other male takes off his shoes at the porch of the door.

“ First question, yes. Second, I went to the arcade with them. ” Alhaitham replied calmly, “ WHAT?! AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME?! PLEASE TELL ME THAT YOU SAVED A SOUVENIR FOR ME. OR, MAYBE [NAME] DID?! ” The yellow haired man exclaimed.

“ They did. But I'm guessing they're still petty that you had sudden plans and didn't tell them directly, so, they gave it to me. ” “ WHAT!? Oh god... Fine, I'll apologize directly tomorrow. Just PLEASE give me the souvenir!! ” Kaveh begged.

“ Hmm, let me think. No. Will you let me go now? ” Alhaitham answered, finally going to his room.

“ UGH, FUCK YOU DAMMIT! YOU'RE THE WORST OF THE WORST! ” Kaveh's yappings slowly stopped as the gray haired male closed the door on him.

Looking at the time from his phone, a little Cookie Keychain was seen dangling at the bottom of his phone. Before finally deciding to get to bed right away after such a long day.

He could just do his assignments tomorrow at 5 AM anyways.

[respectthepetty]

Yooooooooo, your theory of Playboyy as an Only Friends AU is absolutely brilliant!

Your brain just, holy fuck, wow!

If you're hitching a ride, can I hop on this theory train with you?

Because if so, I'm dropping the following baggage:

First and Soong as Ray and Sand

I mean... let's take a look at the list...

- rich kid thinking money can buy anything and everything, check

- rich kid finds a partner he pays first and then starts a fwb, check

- first there is the issue of mutual exploitation before it becomes more; we can't quite say yet, so we'll leave that open, but the signs are pointing to check.

- then the issue with addiction (with Ray alcohol and drugs, with First sex)... yep. Check.

I am not connecting anything rn because we also just had an EP Playboyy, but holy CRAP... there really could be something to your theory.

(Yes, we have more couples than in OF but seriously, if the writers had crammed all the stuff that's supposed to happen into 8 characters... Good night, I think the thing would have exploded0.0)

Anon, it's not my brain. @lukaherehelp has been hyping up this show since Earth was created, and the writer, Den, stated in a few tweets that Only Friends and Playboyy were basically the radio edit versus the album version but as television shows. One was Disney channel and the other was Cinemax.

Between the two, I already like that unlike Mew, who was shown to view his virginity as a prize to be won, Zouey seems more touch averse, which could also connect with a desire to remain in control. As a self-identified slut, it makes sense to me that he would be more open to giving than receiving, so he could remain in control of the situation. But I really don't want to compare hotdogs to hamburgers.

However, know that I also see Ray and Sand in First and Soong, and I also wanted Sand to be a sex worker in Only Friends much like I wanted Top to be.

I had theories for days for Only Friends! I wanted sex workers. I wanted a dead body. I wanted police involvement. I wanted the poor stealing from the rich.

I WANTED IT ALL!

And I just might get it in Playboyy.

First calls Soong a "whore" when?

[placeinthemiddleofnowhere]

Okay so i was of course re reading your amazing Rocky start fic and had inspiration for some quick sketches and then i had an idea..

Pirate Konig with mermaid reader and i was like damn imagine him a fearsome pirate capturing a mermaid and then growing fond of them 😳

Holy crap, you’re on fire with all these ideas 💕

I looooove pirate König! It fits so well with his mask as well cause it would be all part of his mystique for when he boards ships and takes their bounties 😎 he’d be a feared pirate king indeed, in league with the dreaded 141 lead by pirate captain Price.

I think that the mermaid reader would be able to transform and come onto land when they please, all with the help of a special necklace. One day they’d be going to a market on their favourite island, browsing all the wares and watching all the people with great interest. It’d be there, while they’re admiring the pretty shiny trinkets on the market stall that they’d catch the attention of König.

König would know the necklace from anywhere. He’d recognise the magic woven into it from his days as a little boy sitting on his grandma’s lap. She was a mermaid that had chosen to come to land and settle down with his grandfather, only occasionally returning to the ocean to play with her doting grandson.

He’d have eyes as wide as saucers, watching this beautiful mermaid walk around so fascinated with everything. At first he wouldn’t even have any bad intentions toward them. König would remain watching from a distance, occasionally lifting his bottle of rum to his lips and taking slow sips of the bitter liquid. He didn’t have anything better to do, why not entertain himself with this vision of a mermaid in front of him? He was incognito as well, no one would recognise him without his famous ‘tear’ streaked mask.

“Well hello there, pretty thing.”

His eyes would immediately narrow when he heard the call of a slimy little worm, a man not even worthy to look at his prize. He’d watch carefully as the man lurched toward them, heart pounding with every step.

Oh this wouldn’t do.

The man approached the mermaid, backing them into the shingles of an old rickety bar. They whimpered and quietly pleaded for the man to leave them alone, but he wasn’t deterred. If anything the man stepped forward faster and faster. He was going to hurt his treasure.

König curled his lip and advanced forward with long precise strides - he was only warmed from the rum he was drinking, emboldened by the spicy spirit.

Just as the man was going to touch what was his, König pulled his hood over his face and drew his gun. In mere seconds the man was screaming and the very hand he was previously reaching out with was lying in pieces on the bloody ground. The man’s body followed in short order.

The mermaid wouldn’t even have time to process what had happened before they were swept into König’s arms. He’d fasten one arm around their waist and another round their head, staring deeply into their scared and searching eyes.

“You’re a long way away from the ocean, liebe,” he’d croon, flicking at the crystal that hung from the silken golden chain. “Looks like i better escort you, hm?”

[pancake-breakfast]

These last volumes have so many chapters. But they're relatively short.

It's hard to think there's only two weeks left.

Stream-of-consciousness thoughts for TriMax Vol. 13, Chapters 1-3 below.

Volume 13 Covers

Ugh, Vash is in too much shadows here. But look at Livio! He looks happy! Is it because he's losing part of his shirt again? I don't think this boy likes shirts.

Aaand everyone's plans have bee thwarted by a friendly octopus. He has that many arms so he can give more hugs!

Shout out to pirate Livio's new and improved fish gun.

Everyone on the back cover's got weird eyes for some reason.

I like how only Elendira gets to keep her shape on the back cover. She's ready to be a dashing pirate.

Why is one of the chapters called "Black"? WHY IS ONE OF THE CHAPTERS CALLED BLACK?!?!

Chapter 1: False Mirror

Oooh, fancy Legato vs. Vash page. I like it.

Ey, it's naked, long-haired Knives again. Been a while since we've seen him.

Definitely Legato thoughts. I guess that day made a bit of an impression on him. Can't imagine why.

Man, this is why Legato wears them big-ass shoulder pads. If I had his history, I'd obscure my actual figure, too.

It sure is in character for Knives not to realize the value of the humans around him.

Gods, Vash looks both desperate and exhausted.

Aaaand Legato's fucking with him.

Holy crap, Legato actually asked Knives about killing Vash to his face??

Gods, Knives is absolutely yawning here for show. He's putting work into trying to make Legato feel like he means nothing to him.

Oh, Legato... baby boy.... You were never going to win Knives' affection by proving you could beat Vash in a fight.

Oof, he sees himself in Vash. I don't even think he's wrong. Vash feels like he's lost everything, that even what still remains, he's doomed to lose if only by the slow march of time.

I make a lot of comments about Legato's unhinged smiles, but I really like his pensive looks, too. I think he's one of the more expressive characters in the series.

I mean, if you want to get technical, he didn't kill so many of them so much as he happened to be more or less present at their death.

I'm curious how this coin holder is tied to a "prize" or a "gift" of some sort.

So... this isn't really a game to Legato. It's not even a test for Vash. It's a test for himself. He just can't shake the idea that if he can utterly crush Vash, he'll take Vash's spot before Knives. Gods, this little yandere.... The world doesn't work like that. Knives doesn't work like that.

All the Gung-Ho Guns he went through, and again, we have the mask side of Livio and a suspicious lack of Wolfwood. Even Chapel doesn't appear this time.

Chapter 2: Double Duel

I'm not quite sure what Vash is getting worked up about here. Perhaps he thinks Legato is making too much light of all the deaths of the Gung-Ho Guns?

Legato is not impressed by Vash's threat. He wants him to follow through or not bother.

I'm continually impressed by people's ability to apparently clearly talk around having the barrel of a gun in their mouth.

I'm honestly not sure what all is happening here. How did Vash get on the ground? What's happening with Legato's right arm? What's up with the pole on a chain? I guess Legato is moving the pole on a chain? It's too big to be reflected by the box he gave Vash, so maybe that's where he's putting his effort?

Well, he spat out the gun. Now he has pole.

Ah I thought I remembered it being attached to the weird boobed spiky ball thing. There's a name for this kind of weapon but I have a headache so I'm not looking it up right now. Generally, it doesn't have a humanoid attachment. It's just a spiky ball on a chain.

Heh, this is them getting their own back-to-back.

Yeah, Livio is hard to kill, thankfully.

Clearly, that's not gonna stop her from trying.

Ahhhhh!! It's good to see Livio comfortable with himself. It's easy to mistake him for a brute, but he has enough talent that, while Chapel didn't expect him to win, he did expect L/R to give Wolfwood a hard time.

Ahahahahaha, he's so cute here.

Chapter 3: Corpse Fire

It's ok, these people don't really have a concept of interstellar travel, so it's not like they have a formalized system for space ships landing.

I think Chronica's a bit desperate. And hurt. She definitely didn't take the loss of Domina lightly.

Legato, my boy, now you're just being dramatic. I mean, I know that's how you are... but Vash has never been keen on theatrics in the name of violence.

DON'T LICK THAT IT'S ON THE GROUND IT'S DIRTY EWW

I don't think Vash believes in things like "dying in a blaze of glory." I think he sees death as death, and that's kinda it.

LEGATO!!! This is NOT about who is "best!" KNIVES. DOES NOT. CARE.

Oh, honey. If it weren't for Vash, humanity probably wouldn't have lasted long enough for you to be born. I realize you probably wouldn't see that as a bad thing, so let me further note that if you had, he wouldn't have accepted you any more. He might have discarded you already because he wouldn't need your help wearing Vash down.

What the eff is this thing?! Now it's full of machine guns?!?

Hahahaha, Livio's trying to call a time out in the middle of the fight.

Ok, that's some impressive dodging.

I like how Livio is more annoyed at Elendira than he is mad that she's still shooting at him after he called for a time out.

Livio <3 Love how annoyed Elendira looks that she's been had, too.

[bisluthq]

olivia dean is really talented neo-soul singer (elton john boosted her and she got nominated for the mercury prize) so if harry is at all influenced by that I would love a soul/motown type record from him

I hadn’t heard her stuff before today - listened this morning - and I also just read a bit about her and looked at her insta page (what’s weird also is quite a few of my friends follow her so idk why I just totally missed that she existed) and I know it’s clearly very early days but holy shit this girl seems soooo well suited for Harry lmao? Like holy shit? She’s incredibly talented musically (like beyond beyond beyond). She says she hates being boxed into one musical style and wants to explore psychedelic and folk sounds a lot more and she says she regrets letting other people tell her what to do when she started and really actively wants to stop doing that and only make things she’s very into (which I think Harry would deeeeply understand lmao). She’s legit into fashion - both edgy haute couture stuff and like just generally clothes. She is suuuper family orientated (she wore her granny’s picture on her chest for her Glasto performance and it’s double cool because she’s been saying for a few years that her biggest dream is playing Glasto at some point in her life). She’s a very ardent feminist. She is very into traveling and has said she hates doing the very touristy things and rather enjoys experiencing the local culture like under the radar. She does social media detoxes because being online too much stressed her out a lot. She enjoys sports of all kind and does a lot of yoga and enjoys swimming (she’s said she hates the cold tho so that’ll be something he has to convince her about lol or she’ll just watch him and take the piss) and cycling (she apparently cycles a lot around London). Aside from the yoga she’s also into some other wellness crap (she’s talked about saunas a few times and like which types of incense she enjoys most) and she goes to therapy and is a big proponent of people going to therapy lol. They both self-identify as dog people. She actively cares about privacy and has said that one of the challenges with becoming more famous is people coming over to meet her which makes her feel awkward (although she’s obviously very grateful to her fans - much like him she seems SUPER appreciative of fans actually). She says she can get really shy - as a kid it was almost crippling shyness and now obviously it’s not crippling but she struggles with imposter syndrome and just feeling shy/awkward. She is super into knitting (I don’t think Harry knits lol but it’s the kind of hobby I can imagine him finding super fucking cool lol and asking her to knit him lots of shit). She rented a bright yellow van to tour in and play socially distanced gigs during lockdown from and that seems like something Harry would find/thinks is super cool. She’s said her ultimate era to live in would be the 70s and I think Harry would agree lol. She’s very funny and silly and fun from the interviews I read and the videos I watched but also knows a lot of stuff and is very interested in a lot of things.

The only thing I can find that really separates them is Olivia is reaaaally into West Ham and Harry’s always rooted for Man U lol but that seems like a reason for fun banter rather than a profound disagreement 😂💀 especially since the point is they both love footie. Also she grew up proper upper middle class and as we know Harry didn’t but her family seems super normal and very cool and she loves them all sooooo much. She can’t shut up about how much she loves her mum and dad and how cool her granny was. They also didn’t have a background in entertainment at all, like she got into the Brit school by auditioning and convinced her family to buy her a secondhand piano at that point just to start learning so yeah like quite normal people. Also she says she really values alone time and needs to be by herself now and then which is the opposite of Harry but he ought to get better at alone time to be perfectly honest so that’s also not a bad thing.

I also haven’t found her referencing Harry a single time - and she’s spoken about a lot of celeb crushes and musical crushes and inspos and contemporary artists she admires - which I bizarrely feel like is a good fit for him? Like she has never appeared to give an iota of a fuck about Harry Styles™️ but based on her interests and personality would really enjoy chilling with Harry the lad and actually working with Harry the musician even.

she’s also like BEYOND stunning. All of Harry’s gfs/hookups are always very pretty wbk but this girl is absolutely unreal and apparently v chill about it too like a few of the interviews I read mentioned she shows up with no makeup and she’s said while she loves fashion she hates having to dress up too often and doesn’t like high heels etc.

Very early days for them but I tentatively ship tf out of this lol.

[bohemian-nights]

i will honestly never forgive them for the whole lady danbury mess in QC. totally unnecessary and extremely difficult to sit through for so many reasons.

but yeah it’s a pattern with the writers atp to put bw in unfulfilling AT BEST situations. “but that’s how it was back then!” well i don’t want to see it! why is it only happening to the black women? and also, there is nothing realistic or period-accurate about this show, so that argument doesn’t even hold up.

i’m still holding out for black Sophie but i’m trying not to get my hopes up. i honestly thought the people latching on to the Michaela theories were just (at least some of them) racists coping with their favorite lead having a bw love interest bc it seemed totally illogical, right? like i thought they’d have to be completely insane and out of touch to actually do it. but then they did.

i’m queer! sapphic/bisexual specifically. i am always looking not just for queer representation but for good wlw love stories with happy endings bc we are severely underfed! but holy shit! bridgerton’s main audience is middle-aged heterosexual women. what the hell were they thinking???

sorry. this is getting into rant territory. i was going to ask you what chance you thought there was of us actually getting a black Sophie but then i realized i actually don’t care anymore and you probably don’t either. Bridgerton dipped majorly in quality this season anyway, imo, so it’s probably best to check out before it gets even worse.

The last part especially because there isn’t anything left enjoyable about this show. It’s quite literally gone off the rails.

I stand by that the ones who leaked this crap and are salivating over this are racist assholes who never wanted Sophie to be Black because all of them have voiced in some fashion or another their preference for a non-Black Sophie and/or how there are “too many Black people on the show.”

They’ve got their wish in part because I doubt Sophie will be Black or even Black-ish now, however, their prize isn’t anything worthwhile.

Making Benedict bi at the millionth hour when Sophie is supposed to come into the picture makes no sense unless you are going to put in a MMF love triangle which isn’t the premise of AOFAG and cheapens Benophies love story since Benedict always just wanted Sophie/TLIS.

Regardless of what they do Jess is a shit writer and show runner(I mean look what she did for Shonda’s favorite girl). Next season is hardly going to be award winning...

Now as far as this gender-bending mess goes, Franchael’s book is very gender specific and dependent on Michael being a man. So there is no way that whatever they put out will remotely resemble When He Was Wicked.

Bridgerton canon has also established that gay marriage is illegal. Not to mention that really isn’t an any reason to change it, in fact it would be be counterproductive to change that considering the basis of their society is built on women being second class citizens and the continuation of the family line through the union of a man and a woman.

You can’t exactly do that in a society that allows two women to marry. Two women in 1815 can’t make a baby either, so I really can’t see how they’ll write a happily ever after complete with a legal marriage for this OC couple they’ve created.

I should say there is nothing wrong with queer rep. That’s not why I’m disgusted and disappointed. There was a way to add it, but they went about it the wrong way

Season 1 they should’ve established that gay marriage wasn’t a problem and created an OC couple or couples which they could do a spin-off or two on or hell made Gregory bi this season(his book literally has a gay plot), but instead they went out of their way to establish that gay people were persecuted and have to hide their love which was only reinforced with Queen Charlotte.

Essentially they’ve roped people in and switched their narrative up all because Jess wants to play self-insert, Julia Quinn only sees dollar signs, and Shonda has severe self-hate issues.

Honestly at this point I feel like both of these decisions were done to keep a Black woman from playing Sophie.

The show has literally gone on 3 seasons without including Black women in a leading romantic role. We weren’t asking for much. We weren’t even breaking it up by ethnicity and saying that Shonda(who is a Blsck woman herself) needs to cast a Caribbean, an Afro-Latina, a Black American, and an African woman. We just wanted someone fully Black to play a leading woman who gets a happily ever after.

Sophie would’ve been the perfect time to include us in this supposedly progressive show that cares about diversity. Sophie’s story is really just spicy Cinderella which would’ve been a breath of fresh air, but that is too good for us apparently.

When you factor in how Lady Danbury in the other Blackish women on this show are depicted, they really seem to have a problem with showing Black women being openly loved, desired, and fought for.

It is what is though. I don’t really care what they do at this point because the show reached its peak with Queen Charlotte. The best days are behind it, but yeah, they’ve lost me as a viewer…

The Girls Dorm (an omo fic)

Chapter 1 : Meeting (Read it on Ao3)

Aspen, for the life of her, could not figure out why her dorm situations had been changed so last minute. Her dad rushed in holding a fat, thick letter, worried it was something to do with her sports scholarship falling through, only for it to be a letter from the head of housing, informing her that her two-person dorm was being changed to a four person accommodation suite.

“This might work out in your favor, Honey.” Aspen's dad said, digging the letting out from the kitchen trash so she could actually read it word for word, After Aspen read the first few lines and immediately decided the rest of the latter was pointless, because she was annoyed and somewhat pissed.

“What if they only did this so all the poor, scholarship charity cases are together, away from all the stupid rich elite students.” Aspen frowned, She couldn't think of any other reason they would change her roommate situation, three days before she is set to roadtrip out to her new university.

“You know that's not the case, and you're not a charity case! You're a prized athlete who worked hard for that scholarship, so enough of that.” Her dad paused, reading farther into the letter, “The new dorm you're getting is bigger, you have your own kitchen and…bathroom.” He said, making Aspen’s cheeks immediately flush at what he was insinuating.

“Dad! I told you…I'm in college now! That's not going to be an issue anymore.” Aspen sighed, she was really, really hoping to not have this conversation with anyone, let alone her dad before leaving.

“I'm just saying honey, Just last week you-”

“Yes! And it was a fluke! I'm practically an adult now, and adults don't…have that issue.” Her dad gave her a sympathetic smile, a sight she is used to seeing and handed the letter back to her,

“Just, maybe don't get so upset. Having more roommates might be fun.” Aspen offered a half smile back to her dad, deciding that now she has to completely rethink her dorm decorating plans before she set off on their drive Monday morning.

***

Monday morning came and went and Aspen was and is still the only person occupying one of the two rooms in their dorm…Or more like, apartment.

Unlike the original dorm photos that were sent in the brochures when Aspen was accepted into Trader University, Lined with old, blue carpeting, Her whole dorm was lined with shiny, soft oak wood floors, Even the bathroom had a fancy, subway tile versus whatever monstrosity the communal dorms she was not looking forwards to had.

The bedrooms were larger than she was expecting. The typical dorm furniture that was expected, feels small in the spacious room, one whole wall being floor to ceiling windows overlooking the quad. Two large, well, large for University standards, closets take up one wall of the room, and two twin beds take up the respective other walls.

Aspen, not really feeling ready to venture out and explore the new city surrounding the university by herself, has taken the time all morning to unpack her thinks, make her bed up just how she likes and needs it to be and place a grocery order curtasity of her dad’s generosity so she had some food in their (very lovely) french door stainless steel refrigerator.

Just as Aspen was thinking about putting said groceries to use and making lunch, the electronic lock on the door into her dorm clicked, starrling her enough she had to cross her legs for a moment.

“Hello?” a thick accented voice echoed through the minimally furnished common area.

“Hello? I'm in the kitchen!” Aspen called back, to who she assumed was one of her three other roommates.

“Holy crap! We have a kitchen? Oh my fucking god, Is that a flat screen tv!?” The tall, black haired girl quickly abandoned her two large purple suit cases in the hallways, running into the living room and sitting down on the simple gray sectional that was there when Aspen arrived, along with a large flat screen mounted on the wall.

“Yeah, I was pretty shocked when I saw it too.” Aspen said, awkwardly. Not really sure how to introduce herself,

“Shocked is an understatement!” The girl got up from the Sofa and walked over to the bar, sitting down on one of the provided black leather bar stools. “Whatcha makin?” She asked, Aspen picks up on her accent again, this time she almost thinks it's Australian, but not quite what she is used to hearing Australian influencers she follows sound like.

“Just a salad, I got some groceries for us to use until we all get settled in, You want me to make you one?” Aspen asks, pointing her knife to the onion she is currently chopping.

“Nah, but thank you though! I ate at the airport, I'm Sydney, by the way.” Sydney shot out her hand, Aspen set her knife down and shook it, noticing instantly that the girls grip is strong,

“Aspen. Hey, Do you play sports by any chance?” Aspen asked, feeling like her handshake is somewhat telling.

“Yes mam! I'm here on a softball scholarship!” Sydney said proudly, “Here representing the New Zealand ducks!” She said with a big grin on her face, The irony of a girl named Sydney being from New Zealand did not go over Aspen’s head, but a more pressing thought popped into her brain at that moment.

“Hmmm, I wonder if we really all were roommates because we are on sports scholarships.” Aspen thinks out loud,

“You play softball?” Sydney asked with an excited inflection

“Oh no! I run track, Track and Field scholarship, uh, Go quails!” Aspen says, although she hasn't really thought of her high school track team since summer started, not really having been close with any of the members on her team for many reasons, one above all others…Teenage girls can be cruel, especially when it comes to things you can help.

“Oh sick! So you run really fast then? That could come in handy playing softball, if you ever decided to play for the other team, You know who to call!” Sydney said, laughing as she grabbed a single piece of raw onion off Aspen’s cutting board and chucked it into her mouth. “Where is the bathroom in this place? Fourteen hour flight with free drinks.” Sydney says standing up from the bar,

“It's down the hall, right by the open bedroom door with the light on.” Aspen said, pointing towards her bedroom…Her bedroom that she definitely didn't pick because it was in fact closest to the bathroom…not at all.

“Holy fuck! It's beautiful-Is that a Javuzzi tub!?” Aspen held back her laughter at her roommate's reaction to the restroom. Her own reaction, albeing less ridden with cursing, was somewhat the same upon seeing the bathtub.

“So you think we really get this fancy ass dorm because we're on a sports scholarship?” Sydney asked, exiting the bathroom and pulling her hooded sweatshirt off over her head, chucking it onto the couch.

“I mean…I'm not sure the letter I got was vague. It only makes sense though, right?” Aspen said, picking up her now completed salad and joining Sydney on the couch.

“I'm excited to find out what sports our other two roomies play! I hope one of them plays softball, ooooh or what if we get one of those mega-buff field hockey girls?” Sydney says, excitement evident ,

“What if we get a cheerleader?” Aspen said, remembering how well, genuinely and completely awful the cheerleaders were to her back in high school, Even thought she knows and respects it as a sport, she never understood why it was always the meanest girls who were interested in cheer,

“We don't have cheerleaders back home, that's so…american! That would be kinda cool” Sydney laughs, Aspen decides maybe trauma dumping about being picked on by cheerleaders for being the school pants wetter, is maybe not the best way to make herself have a better social standing on university, so she just laughs with her.

“Ah, oh no.” The electronic lock clicks again, followed by a sharp hiss of someone baning into the door. Aspen jumps again, crossing her legs. This time however, she feels that similar feeling, the one her body is thankful for, had started giving her before she was on the brink of a full blown accident. Part of the reason she thinks she wont have issues like she did back in high school, is because of that particular new development.

“Roomie three? Is that you?” Sydney says, standing up from the sofa. Aspen stays seated for a moment longer, just enough to compose herself long enough to greet the new arrival, then she will excuse herself to the restroom.

“Hi, um yes?” A soft, small voice comes faintly down the hallway, followed by the sound of wheels rolling on the hardwood. Aspen stands up, expecting to help take some of the heavy sounding suitcases from the girl, but instead, she stops to find a small framed, brown haired girl with glasses, in a silver and red accented wheelchair, struggling to open the door completely.

“Here, let me prop it open, there is a door stop, I used it when I got here.” Aspen says, helping the girl get herself and her one suitcase inside. Aspen shares a confused look with Sydney, clearly their sports scholarship idea might not be the most accurate.

“Thank you, you're so nice!” The girl's soft voice is so…gentle. Aspen immediately feels like a monster next to her. Watching her wheel herself down the hallway, Aspen noticed how thin and longer her fingers are, delicate, very much not giving field hockey much to Sydney's dismay. “This is Aspen, I'm Sydney…Hey, quick question, do you play water polo?” Sydney is already speaking before Aspen can think to stop her,

“Water what? Um, no I uh, I haven't picked my major yet.” The girl says quietly. “My name is Lucy, by the way. Um- Did you guys already pick your rooms?” She says, pointing down the hallway.

“I did, I got here last night. Sydney hasn't though.” Aspen says, already going to walk down the hallway toward the bedroom, “This is the one I choose.” Aspen walks inside, Sydney follows and looks around,

“Oh, hmm.” Lucy pauses at the door, stopping at the small step down into the bedroom, Aspen hadn't even noticed it until then,

“Oh, I'll eat shit on that in the middle of the night…Lucy, was it? Let's take the other room! looks like we're gonna be roomies!” Sydney says, taking ahold of Lucy's wheelchair handles, with permission, and wheeling her into the room just a few feet down the hall. Aspen takes the moment of quiet to excuse herself to the restroom, the nagging feeling from being spooked earlier never quite went away.

[the-silver-peahen-residence]

Holy crap, Yuji. Is that true? You threw cars at Mineta? Can you tell us what happened that lead up when you got to Class 1-A??

@demon-blood-youths

"Huh? Yeah it's true I mean i was pissed off knowing that little thief stole from the girls..AGAIN!" he grumbled. "So yeah, I threw cars at him to try and stop him. Though, he was a slippery little snake and ended up getting away." he said to cross his arms.

"Though, as to what happened...It went like this.."

"Alright guys, seems we did pretty good tonight. The mission was a big success. So good work." Megumi said seeing Yuji and Nobara laugh happy for a job well done.

"Yeah, that was pretty cool! I can't believe we did it!" Yuria and Miko smiled with Taz hugging them both. They did so well on their first mission, well a easy one to help them know much on the field.

"it's true. You guys did good!" Daichi smiled proud as everyone was happy. "Though thanks to this, it deserves a party back at the dorms! But lets go home and give the report." he said as everyone agreed going home. The ride home was not too long but within the shadows, someone was watching before following after it.

Everyone did get home, give the report to Gojo who was proud of everyone even Kinie and Sukuna was proud of their hosts Yuji and Taz. Even if they still saw the others as lower forms. They are getting to it.

"You know that mission was crazy but I'm glad it's over with though." Nobara said.

"True! I can't wait to get back and get a nice hot shower and sleep." Taz smiled happily to her with Kinie proud of her.

'True, pup. You all did pretty good. So good job..' Kinie said in her thoughts making Taz smile.

"I think it worked I can't wait for our break too. We can sleep in and relax on our days off." Miko said happy but Yuria nods proud too.

"Girls, I say tonight was a big win for us." Nobara said seeing the girls cheer giggling and laughing now. Though for now, they wanted to get some rest. So they would.

'Ohhhh the same pretty girls again.....so cute..I have to try this again. Just gotta be more careful..' the voice thought while waiting for everyone to get some sleep. After a while, he would strike.

~~~~~~~

"So...while everyone was sleeping, I think that's when that creep came through.." Yuji said grumbling.

~~~~~~~

Later that night, everyone was asleep while dreaming peacefully without a care in the world. Though, during this time, someone was sneaking into the girls dorm building wearing a mask and some other things holding a empty bag.

"Okay, I'm in..Just gotta find my targets.." he snickered now sneaking up to the rooms. He could see it was pretty big but he was looking for the ones he knew of before. As he sneaked through the hallways, he saw the target room area. Nobara, Taz, Miko, Maki, and Yuria. Giggling he quietly goes to sneak in through the window to look inside.

Nobara was sleeping soundly in her bed while facing away from the window. He looks to work on unlocking the window and gets in carefully. He saw that she was knocked out sleeping to herself. He saw she was pretty when she was sleeping but goes to quietly see her dresser. Opening it, he saw his prize. Her panties and bras.

"Jackpot.." he smiled now getting a few of them or a bit too many while dumping them in the back. However, he was quiet but stuffed it full. When he did. He goes to close it and sneaks into the next room.

He got into Maki's room and stole some of her own panties while she sleeps soundly in her own dorm. Her glasses rest on the side table by her bed while Mineta was giggling when stealing some of hers. "Ohhhh, these are black and white silk. Nice.." he snickered stuffing them in.

Then he got to the last three's rooms. He goes to sneak into Miko's room and heads to her dresser getting some bras and panties too. This was way too easy but he gets as much as he could that he also had his backpack. He then goes to take some of Yuria's own who was sleeping curled up. She turns and yawns to make MIneta stop for a moment thinking she would wake up.....but she rubs her eye to still remain asleep.

"..." He sighs in relief before going to the last one. He saw Taz sleeping where she was but he was giggling seeing her. Still was cute. He goes to her dresser and steals her panties now while she was sleeping with him giggling.

~~~~~~~

"So yeah, he did steal through out the night but me and the guys found out when it became morning......"

~~~~~~~

The morning started to rise, showing the sun in the horizon. Mineta's backpack was stuffed full as he was slowly sneaking out of the school grounds with his treasure. "Ahhh a good steal complete. I got every bit I can carry but this was worth it. Now, to make my escape." he laughed going off.

During this time, Yuji and Megumi were getting up but was getting ready to do some exercises with seeing Kisho awake too with Eito yawning.

"Morning guys, your off to your daily jog?" he asked seeing the two nod.

"Yes. Why not come with us? It could wake you up pretty well?" Yuji said smiling though Kisho thinks about it.

"Hmmm, I could. Might do me some good with working my legs.. "he said laughing while Eito chirps flying and lands on Megumi's head.

"Then come on, lets hurry and...huh?"

"What's wrong Yuji?" the other two blinks seeing someone sneaking out near the stairs. "Who the heck is that?" he asked seeing the other getting to the stairs.

"Just about ready to go...I think I'm in the clear-"

"Hey! Who are you there!" he tenses seeing Yuji, Megumi, Eito, and Daichi rush over to see him. "Uh oh.." he said but he tries to run only for Totality to show up growling at him. He yelps falling back for the guys to surround Mineta. "Uhhhhhh morning gentlemen." he said.

"Who the hell are you? Why are you in the school grounds?" Megumi asked but mineta sits up nervous holding his backpack.

"I..I'm just..passing through.." he said nervous but was scared. "I'll just...be on my way if that's fine!" he said quickly trying to run but Yuji catches him but quickly yanks his mask off to see Mineta!

"YOU!!" the guys said with Eito squawking at him angry.

"Oh hell no! What are you doing here!?" he said angry to drop him.

"Look I can explain! I'm not doing anything wrong!" he said nervous.

"Then what's in the bag?" Megumi said glaring at him. "Yeah! What do you have!?" Kisho said. Before Mineta could answer....

"WHAT THE HELL!? SOMEONE STOLE MY BRAS AND PANTIES!" Nobara shouts from the girls dorm when getting ready.

"HEY MINE ARE GONE TOO!!" Maki said angry.

"G..GIRLS!! SOMEONE STOLE MY BRA AND PANTIES TOO!!" Miko said crying.

"ME AS WELL! WHAT THE HECK!?" Yuria said.

"AND ME TOO! MY PANTIES ARE GONE AGAIN!!!!"Taz cries out. The boys looks to the hear that then slowly glares at Mineta who sweats.

"....YOU STOLE FROM MY SISTER AND MY FRIENDS AGAIN!!!" Yuji shouted that Mineta kicks him and begins running away screaming.

"HEY GET BACK HERE!!" Kisho shouted as the boys quickly rushes to try catching him.

"NOOOOOOO!!!"

~~~~~~~~~~

"After we found out, the guys along with Nobara came alone to try catching him. I ended up throwing cars and things to crush him and Sukuna helped. But that is what lead to us getting to the UA that day. Stupid brat being a pervert." he said mad.

Regrading Taskmaster: S06E03 One warm prawn.

Alex's cape rocks. Moving on.

Prize Task: The Most Magnificent Day Trip

Because instead of water, they use piss.

Honestly, I would love to win any of these. This is the best prize task they've ever done.

Russell is bringing you to Aqualand with his mum. Asim is bringing you to museums, Alice is bringing you to the subway, Tim is showing you his favorite parts of his hometown, and Liza fucked it.

She actually still does beat Alice, because it's the subway.

Alice: 1 (0) Asim: 3 (+1) Liza: 2 (-2) Russell: 5 (+2) Tim: 4 (-1)

VT 01: Write, illustrate, and read out a bedtime story for grown-ups.

I'd like some pencils and pens . . . and a side of attitude, apparently.

Alice's would be the worst if Tim didn't completely forget what the task was about. Liza is actually kind of an impressive calligrapher. I'm also impressed with the simplicity of a story about a man eating something he shouldn't and crapping himself to death.

Asim's story is surprisingly similar, but he's a worse artist (also he pronounced "paella" as pie-ella.

Hahaha -- Tim is getting last. Vote Green Party.

Russell didn't draw anything . . . he's lucky Tim and Alice limbo'd under him.

Alice: 2 (+1) Asim: 4 (+1) Liza: 5 (0) Russell: 3 (0) Tim: 1 (-1)

VT 02: Make something spin for the longest.

And then you buggered a toy lizard.

So ten minutes to prepare and one attempt at spinning. Sorry to Alice but "spin a record" isn't a common turn-of-phrase for "play an MP3. I'd give her the rolling barrel, which was longer than the bottle. Tim's attempt seems perfectly timed.

Liza's lizard-drill is obviously the best. Per Alex, Asim's bike beats Tim. And Russell . . . so funny how terrible it ended up being.

Alice: 1 Asim: 4 Liza: 5 Russell: 2 Tim: 3

VT 03: Work out the flavors of these baby foods. Also there is a bonus point for whoever eats the most baby food.

And I think you look the most like a baby out of all of us.

It's tough to argue against Alex's scoring system here.

Alice: 2 Asim: 5 + 1 Liza: 4 Russell: 3 Tim: 1

Live Task: Catch the most socks and put them in your laundry basket. You must stare straightforward throughout the task. You must not touch any pants. You must not move your laundry basket and if you drop a sock, you can't then pick it up. Every time you touch some pants, you lose a sock.

Two angels rocked up and that's my lazy eye coming into play.

Russell figured out the hack. Honestly, this game kind of sucks if you play it earnestly. ROUUUGHH scoring for Alice because three people came in joint second.

Alice: 1 Asim: 4 Liza: 4 Russell: 5 Tim: 4

F I N A L

Alice: 6 (0) Asim: 21 (+2) Liza: 20 (-2) Russell: 18 (+2) Tim: 12 (-3)

Holy bad episode for Alice. Liza won the first time, but I'm giving it to Asim.

[marinerainbow]

I have an ask!! (As always, ignore this if you want to ^^ )

What would the Toon Patrol's reaction be to, first of all- Herman disrespecting Poppy. And second of all, to Poppy SWEARING at Herman?? XD

Omg XDDD I love this ask so much

First of all, I'm gonna just automatically assume Poppy is buddies with the weasels in this ask. Because otherwise they wouldn't really care about some stranger getting disrespected by a baby, or blowing up on said baby 😅 (though maybe feel just a tiiiny amount of respect for said stranger standing up to a popular toon? But not enough to be swayed either way)

Ok so... They ain't happy. Not in the slightest 😅 even if she isn't actually in the gang, she is still a part of the gang. Even if they don't get along all the time, if you fuck with any of them, you gotta see the rest of them. That's how they roll. Granted, Herman is too known where they can't exactly do anything to him without consequences... But that doesn't make them any less upset. Might actually peeve them off a bit more XD

I'm just imagining somebody, probably Wheezy, has to hold Psycho back from doing anything- who is probably barking and snarling at Herman like a damn dog. Stupid gets tasked with picking Poppy up and getting her away from the disrespect, and comforting her if Herman did anything particularly mean. And Greasy and Smartass get to intimidate Herman and basically tell him that this transgression won't go without consequences. I'm not sure what they'll do, but I don't want to find out 😅

(I doubt Poppy is Herman's type, especially since she doesn't tolerate his crap. But can you imagine how worse they'd react if Herman actually started creeping on Poppy (Especially if this is one of the ships timeline)??? Holy crap-)

Now. Them reacting to Poppy swearing at Herman? Oh man XDDD

Smartass feels a small sense of pride for her. This usually passive woman finally explodes on somebody! And better yet, it was deserved (I doubt he cares about that, but he knows that at least Poppy cares so XD). Smarty is standing there, a bit shocked, before smiling and acting like a proud big brother like he's been training her this whole time how to yell at people XDDD

Psycho is also proud of Poppy. Even more so then Smartass is XDDD regardless if they are dating or are just friends, I can imagine Psycho really really really wants to see Poppy go feral on somebody. Especially since Poppy never blows up like the people he lives with can. So yes, he will hug Pops and tell her everything is ok... But right now, he's standing by the sidelines and holding up a camera- 'cause he knows the sight of feral Poppy are rare occurances, so he's capturing the moment while he still can XD

Wheezy however, is watching all this go down like a responsible parent friend would; staring at Poppy slack jawed and wide-eyed, wondering if what he just heard was real. He's not gonna get mad at her; for one, she's a grown woman and can curse however much she likes, but Herman also had it coming XD but he is concerned for Poppy. He knows that she is not going to be happy with herself later. Not to mention that this is definitely a sign that she needs some quiet time. So Wheezy would probably step over, offer to take her away from the source of her anger and give her a safe place to cool down... While also glaring at Herman and blaming him for this XDDD

Greasy is also just... Shocked about this. Might do that cartoon thing where he rubs his ears and blinks before looking back at the scene; did Poppy swear?? Did she say fuck!? Did she call somebody a motherfucker!?!? He doesn't even care that this somebody happens to be a famous star. The fact that Poppy swore at a living organism is enough to stop him in his tracks. But once he gets over his shock, I can see him clapping Poppy on the shoulder or something, regardless if she's horrorfied with herself, and acting like she just won the Nobel prize. Greasy is not a good influence XDD

And poor Stupid is the one that's the most scared for Poppy right now XD she's a nice lady! She's like a sister to him! And the mean baby made her cuss like his actual brother does on the daily. That isn't right. This has to be fixed. I can see Stupid hugging Poppy close, even when she insists she's better now and apologizing for her blow up earlier, and he's just trying to comfort her and tell her that she doesn't have to talk to the rude actor again. And if she does, he won't let her talk to him alone ^^

Am I speaking a language you're not getting here? Dad and I were working a job in Ohio, she was finishing up college. We went out for a coupla weeks.

10x03 Soul Survivor

DEAN: You notice I tried to get as far away from you as possible? Away from your whining, your complaining. I chose the King of Hell over you! Maybe I was just … tired of babysitting you. Or always having to yank your lame ass out of the fire since …

[Dean laughs.]

DEAN: Forever. Or maybe … Maybe it was the fact that my mother would still be alive if it wasn’t for you. That your very existence sucked the life out of my life!

SAM: This isn’t my brother talking.

DEAN: You never had a brother! Just an excuse for not manning up. But guess what: I quit.

SAM: No. No, you don’t. You don’t get to quit. We don’t get to quit in this family! This family is all we have ever had!

DEAN: Well, then, we got nothin’.

SAM: Would you say that to Dad?

DEAN: Dad? Oh, there’s a prize. There’s a man who brainwashed us into wasting our lives fighting his losing battle!

Sam: You’re sitting there with the Book of the Damned and the means to read every word, and you think I’m going to set you free? Do I look crazy?

Rowena: Well, you do have unresolved issues with your domineering older brother and the abandonment by your father.

Sam: You know what? Just get back to work! All right.

11x18 Hell’s Angel

11x21 All In the Family

Dean: Here's the thing, um...Chuck... And I mean no disrespect. Um... I'm guessing you came back to help with the Darkness, and that's great. That's, you know – It's fantastic. Um, but you've been gone a – a... long, long time. And there's so much crap that has gone down on the Earth for thousands of years. I mean, plagues and wars, slaughters. And you were, I don't know, writing books, going to fan conventions. Were you even aware, o-or did you just tune it out?

Chuck: I was aware, Dean.

Dean: But you did nothing. And, again, I-I'm not trying to piss you off. You know, I don't want to turn into a pillar of salt.

Chuck: I actually… didn't do that.

Dean: Okay. People – People pray to you. People build churches for you. They fight wars in your name, and you did nothing.

Chuck: You're frustrated. I get it. Believe me, I was hands-on – Real hands-on for, wow, ages. I was so sure if I kept stepping in, teaching, punishing, that these beautiful creatures that I created... would grow up. But it only stayed the same. And I saw that I needed to step away and let my baby find its way. Being overinvolved is no longer parenting. [Sighs] It's enabling.

Dean: But it didn't get better.

Chuck: Well, I've been mulling it over. And from where I sit, I think it has.

Dean: Well, from where I sit, it feels like you left us and you're trying to justify it.

Chuck: I know you had a complicated upbringing, Dean, but don't confuse me with your dad.

12x02 Mamma Mia 

(with action lines from production draft)

Dean: Sleep okay?

Mary: I had dreams all night. I haven’t had dreams for… thirty years.

Dean: Good dreams?

Mary: Stuff I’d forgotten about. Funny things your dad did. He was a great father.

Dean considers this. Almost takes up the topic. Thinks better of it. Smiles a vague smile.

–

(transcript)

MARY: Very. The thing is, Hunters... no matter how good they are, they all end up the same way.

DEAN: You know when you died, it changed Dad. I mean, he was Hell-bent on finding out what happened. The Hunter life, it just took him over. I guess I was the same. But Sammy – Sammy, he was different. He wanted out. He went to school. He went to Stanford.

MARY: Sam had a chance to get out? And he came back?

DEAN: When Dad disappeared, Sam and I looked around, and something became very clear. That the only thing we had in this world – the only thing, aside from this car – was each other.

(production draft version)

MARY: Very.

He smiles. But Mary doesn’t– she knows the truth–

Mary: The thing is… Hunters... No matter how good they are? They all end up the same way.

Dean (teasing): Rich and happy?

But Mary’s not in a joking mood–

Mary: I mean, the life… Sometimes it’s exciting… The adrenaline rush. Just wish you and Sam hadn’t signed up.

DEAN (with difficulty): When you… Died… Dad changed. He was Hell-bent on finding out what happened. The Hunter life took him over. I guess I’m a lot like him, if I’m bein’ honest, and I took to it. But Sammy. Different guy. He wanted out. Went to Stanford.

(off her startled look)

I know, right? Dad could never get his head around it.

MARY (incredulous): Sam had a chance to get out? And he… came back?

DEAN: When… Dad disappeared… Sam and I looked around, and things got real clear. The only thing Sam and I had in the world… The only thing. Except for this car… Was… Each other.

She stares, realizing the truth in this, as tears appear.

–

SAM: Dad's journal. His writing, his words. Helped me fill in some blanks, answer some questions I didn't know I had. And, you know, it – it – it keeps him with us, sort of.

MARY: Thank you.

12x08 LOTUS

12x13 Family Feud

ROWENA Uh, to be honest, I'm not sure. I was forced to leave, you see.

GAVIN Oh. That's too bad. L-Left him with his father, did you?

ROWENA Well...

GAVIN You left him alone?!

ROWENA He was eight, he seemed very enterprising.

12x17 The British Invasion

12x21 There’s Something about Mary

(transcript)

TONI: You're being realigned. Soon, you won't differentiate between your thinking and ours.

All of your thoughts and actions will come from us.

MARY: What are you talking about?

TONI: Well, not about this illusion of you that you hold on to. The perfect life. Loving husband and kids. But it never really was perfect, was it? All those secrets you kept from your beloved John – that you were a Hunter. That you invited Azazel to visit when he spared John's life.

MARY: How do you –

TONI: I have sources, Mary. Everywhere. After you died, your beloved John was a man slowly going mad, searching for revenge. What? Your boys didn't tell you? The drunken rages? The weeks of abandonment? Child abuse, really. It's no wonder they're damaged. So enough with the fairy tale. We are returning you to a more pure version of yourself – Mary Campbell, natural born killer.

(production draft version)

Toni: You're being… realigned. Soon, you won't differentiate between your thinking and ours.

All of your thoughts and actions will come from us.

Mary can only stare, stunned.

Toni: In a way, we’re doing you a favor. Putting you back in touch with who you really are.

Mary: What are you talking about?

Toni: Well, not about this illusion of you that you hold on to….the “perfect life,” the “loving husband and kids…”

(then)

 But it never really was perfect, was it? The secrets you kept from your beloved John – that you were a Hunter. That you invited Azazel to visit.

Mary: How do you…

Toni: You left your sons without a mother. Without a father, for that matter. You “beloved John” was a man slowly going mad, searching for revenge.

(off Mary’s stare)

Oh, your boys didn't tell you? The drunken rages? The weeks of abandonment? Child abuse, really. No wonder they're… damaged.

Mary stares, stunned, trying to process.

Toni: So enough with the fairy tale. We’re returning you to a more pure version of yourself – Mary Campbell, natural born killer.

13x02 The Rising Son

BARTENDER I hated my old man. I ran away myself. See, my mom would never stick up for me. But… (sighs) you know kids. No matter what, they still want the old man’s approval. Well, that’s how it was with me, just…

DEAN You know, that’s, uh, that’s how it was with me, too.

13x07 War of the Worlds

13x13 Devil’s Bargain

13x18 Bring Em Back Alive

SAM: Gabriel, you have to dig yourself out of this hole. Look, I know you think it's safer inside. No more torture. No more pain. No more expectations. I've been there. You were nothing like your family. You sure as hell weren't like your dad. Me either. And just like you, I got out. Or I-I thought I got out. But then... then my family needed me. And this is my life. No matter how many times I tried to fight it, this is what I was put here to do. This is where I make the world a better place. And sure, yeah, hookers in Monte Carlo sounds great, but your family needs you.

13x22 Exodus

14x07 Unhuman Nature

Dean: Well, bait and beer. You are a cheap date. This certainly isn't Tahiti.

Jack: You once told me you and your father did the exact same thing. It was your happiest memory of him.

Dean: I didn't say that.

Jack: It was how you said it. I could tell.

14x12 Prophet and Loss

(transcript)

DEAN I know I wasn’t always the greatest brother to you.

SAM Dean, you were the one who was always there for me. The only one. I mean, you practically raised me.

DEAN I know things got dicey… you know, with dad… the way he was. And I just… I didn’t always look out for you the way that I should’ve. I mean, I had my own stuff, you know. In order to keep the peace, it probably looked like I took his side quite a bit. Sometimes when I was… when I was away, you know it wasn’t ‘cause I just ran out, right? Dad would… he would send me away when I really pissed him off. I think you knew that.

(blue pages)

DEAN It’s just that… I know I wasn’t always the greatest big brother.

Sam stares over at him.

SAM Dean, you were the one who was always there for me. You raised me.

DEAN Yeah, well, things could still get dicey…with dad. The way he was. And I didn’t always look out for you like I should’ve. I mean, I had my own stuff goin’ on with him, so to keep the peace I’d– it must’ve looked like I took his side…

SAM I was just a kid…

DEAN And sometimes I wasn’t around at all. You know I didn’t just run out, right? Well, sometimes I did. But Dad would send me away when I really pissed him off; I think you knew that.

14x19 Jack in the Box

(transcript)

Dean: She could handle a machete. She could handle a vampire. She could handle our old man. She couldn't cook worth a damn. Mom, you weren't here long enough. But we're so glad for the time that we had. Goodbye, Mom.

–

(transcript)

Sam: We know that Mom's not sitting on a cloud playing a harp. She's in a good place. Or she's in a great place. She's with Dad.

Dean: Hmm.

(writer’s draft)

Sam: And we know Mom’s not sitting on a cloud with a harp. But she’s in a good place. In her personal heaven with her best memories.

Dean: Fair enough.

15x02 Raising Hell

BELPHEGOR: Yeah, yeah, not gonna happen. Souls cast down to Hell? That's the end of it. Heaven can't take 'em.

SAM: That's not true. Our dad made it to Heaven after he was in Hell.

DEAN: And Bobby Singer.

15x08 Our Father, Who Aren’t in Heaven

SAM: But if Michael helped Chuck overpower Amara, then maybe he also knows how to lock him up.

CASTIEL: Perhaps, but even if we could get to him, he wouldn't tell us.

DEAN: I don't know. But I mean, if my dad kept me locked up in a cage for 10 years, I might be looking to get some payback. It's worth a shot.

–

ADAM: The point is parents keep secrets, right? Does it hurt to ask the question? 

MICHAEL: Yes! It would. It would mean that I doubt him. The good son, the favorite, doubts his father.

ADAM: You still care about that? After he left you in the Cage?

15x13 Destiny’s Child

ALT!DEAN: We actually don't drink much of this stuff.

ALT!SAM: Dad won't keep it in the house. He only likes his "private-label Scotch." He spoils us.

SAM: Wait, your dad is... still around?

DEAN: And he "spoils" you?

(script: Sam and Dean stare.)

ALT!SAM: Well, he did. We don't know where he is now. Uh, we all went through the rift together, but, uh, guess we got separated.

ALT!DEAN: Mm. To Dad.

(Not in script:) ALT!SAM: Best guy ever.

(script: They clink bottles. Sam and Dean are staring, dumbfounded.)

SAM: HunterCorp?

ALT!DEAN: Yeah. Well, got to hand it to the old man, huh? Pretty much built up an entire empire from scratch.

ALT!SAM: To Dad.

(Not in script:) ALT!DEAN: Smartest guy ever.

(script: They clink bottles again. Sam and Dean look at each other.)

(Alt Dean finding Dean’s porn)

ALT!SAM: Can you imagine if Dad caught us with that kind of stuff? Goodbye, trust funds.

15x19 Inherit the Earth

(script and deleted lines)

Sam: To Jack

They touch bottles and drink.

Dean: And Cas. And Mom.

Sam: And Adam.

Dean: And Kelly. And Bobby. And John.

Sam: Dad?

Dean: Yeah.

Sam shrugs; they take long pulls from the beers. Dean sighs wistfully.

Dean: And everyone… we’ve lost along the way.

Drink and silence.

Champion

~First (You're here)~ Next>>>

Damian barely kept himself upright, how long has it been?

About a month?

Could've fooled him, might as well have been an agonizing year.

He was kidnapped, tormented and had to endure so much shit and no one came to get him.

Were they even looking? Did they try?

Or did they simply not care enough?

The amount of torture he was put through... he's done it before but never like that. Being forced into water until he could barely breath then being strapped up and electrocuted for hours on end. Worst of all the moment when he was put into that ring... the blood on his hands. Having to go back into that mindset, how many children were down there? How many did he kill? Just to live, only to be tortured. Hell he somehow became their prized champion and killed adults as well.

He couldn't take it, finally escaped and yet he left so many innocent children behind. Maybe... if he gets home, if they even care to ask, he can tell Batman the location and let him save the hostages forced to kill others just so adults will bet on who will win. It was gambling in the worst way.

Damian kept moving, it's still Gotham. But where the fuck is he? No wait, that's the Clock tower in the distance. Okay... about ten miles West, that should help Batman in locating.

Damian kept moving, he had to break his arm so the adult in charge of making sure there was no fatal injuries to their "items" would check him, giving him enough time to headbutt the man and run out.

"DAMIAN?!"

Oh, how long has he been walking? This place...

It's his.

Red Hood was on a rooftop and he dropped down to get a better look. "Holy crap Damian! What happened? We've been searching like crazy for you! Where were you?"

As touching as this moment may be, honestly Damian was just furious. Damian smacked Red Hood's hand away when he tried to place his hand on his shoulder. "Like any of you cared" "Yeah well I wouldn't be asking if I didn't" "Liar..." "Damian... why would I lie to my brother who I'm concerned about?"

Now why would I lie to my champion? I mean it, you've done well living keep at it

"No! I'm not yours, I was never yours. You greedy selfish bastard, I'm not yours I don't want to live like this!"

Damian was panting, glaring at Red Hood as if he was a monster.

"Let me take you home Dami. You don't seem to be in the best shape"

Then it crashed down, he had survived. He had killed. He was tortured. He was beaten bloody. He left those children... they would suffer like him still. And their champion would make it safe and sound while they die and kill.

Damian blacked out.

[risu5waffles]

i really, really liked this one. It reminded me a lot of chronos453's A Simple Platformer that we started this whole archive deal wiv. The material choices are pretty strong, and the abstacted-naturalistic shaping of them really goes far. Decorations and stickering are simple, but they serve quite well the need to give a little visual flair and distinction. The platforming maintains a good pace throughout and manages to be pretty fun the whole time. i really liked the little mechanical movements in the level as well. All in all a really strong example of simple level building. i'm a little confused about the providence of the level, rehp says it was actually created by their brother ruof, which is why i give double credit, but wivin the level it's only credited to ruof. So maybe he originally published it, and let his sib copy and republish? i don't know. Great level, tho'.

We talked about this one last week, and i don't really have much to add.

This one's alright enough, i guess? It feels kind of washed out and empty, and there's not much to distract you from the not much that's going on. The hedgehog bit was... well, the hedgehog was cute. The way it kept moving to block the launcher i needed, not so much.

i kinda wish i could put together a good survival challenge, but i've never quite wrapped my head around the logic needed to get it done. i'm also not entirely sure how to fill it so it stays interesting for folx who are actually good enough to keep going at it for a while. i was always able to hang in the ones in LBP2 to get the prizes, but usually once i crossed the score threshold, i'd bounce. Just no patience for it. But sometimes you run into these ones in community, where the top score is just absurdly up there, and i think to myself, "dang, that's some real dedication right there." This one was cute enough for what it was. i found the bounciness of the hazards added a little bit too much randomness for me to really enjoy myself, but i gave it a couple of good goes to come in halfway decent on the leaderboard.

This level is so danged good, and i have no idea how i missed out on it for so long; it just somehow completely passed under my radar. Really glad @mellangard suggested it a couple of streams back, or i might not have ever tried it. To be honest, i used to have a habit of avoiding Team Picked levels, 'cause i wouldn't use them for the old review show, and i didn't really have time to just play stuff for fun. It's taken me a bit to get out of the habit (and discouver the Team Picks are extremely hit-and-miss for quality), but the original show's idea was to try and focus on levels wivout many plays, to give them a bit of a chance in the limelight, and Team Picks always rack up numbers. The fact that this level manages to be quite presentation-heavy, while maintaining a fairly quick pace, wivout running into too much lag, or having objects not load in is fairly amazing all on its own. Then toss on that it's all good, and fun? Like, this is a gem.

i really wound up cottoning to this one. The shaping and presentation remind me quite favourably of Stocktown By Night from Track9, which we looked at way back on LittleBite-sizedPlanet episode 160. Holy crap, that was 2019?! Listening to the episode now, and... yeesh. As far as Insomniac Town, it's fun. Very nostalgic. Very LBP2. The only thing i didn't really like was the use of grabbable materials made non-grabbable. If it's the ground, yeah, sure, please make that non-grabbable. But if you give me a four by four chunk of fabric, i'm gonna try to drag it somewhere.

It took me a silly-long time to figure out the creator's name is supposed to be read as Satan. Ope. This one is so, so, so very kludgy, and i no lie kinda love it? It's very LBP1 era hard-adjacent. Goofy and edgy, but not so much that i felt like noping out of it. The dropping heads at the end were on a real weird timer, and kept killing me, but that's kinda par for the course for these. One issue i did have was because of the changes to the lighting engine, and how fire is displayed, it can be a bit hard to see things at times, and it can be really hard to tell just what is fire as hazard, and what is fire as decoration.

This one is so goofy, and i kinda love it too. i'm not sure if it was actually possible for me to save that guy, he seemed pretty well squished. i wonder if he was a little bit more survivable in the original LBP1 version, where he would have been made out of material. Sackbots can be quite delicate. Is this level scary? Absolutely not. Is killing the gator in a style reminiscent of ogRE2 a hoot? Oh heck yes.

Talked about this one yesterday. Go peep that post. Seriously. i'm falling asleep sitting up, and i still haven't taken a shower.

Honestly, i was a little worried making this level was a bit too much of a flex on the original creator, and that honestly wasn't intended. i really liked the chance to just throw together some simple gameplay bits and see how they run. i do feel like i should have done something better wiv that second Spring Bolt, tho'. That jump is just a ball of no fun.

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

Oh my dogs, i am legit so sleepy, and there is still a bunch i have left to do tonight. We did all that work on stream last night, and as soon as we wrapped up, the game crashed and i lost all that progress. i tried to put the cameras back together this morning, but i couldn't quite get them how we had them, so i'm going to have to actually watch the VoD on the side while i fix them up, and i honestly hate that.
