Been wanting to create some quick profile pics, but I haven’t really fleshed out all main and supporting and chatizens. For now, I’ll give you the main. Still haven’t gotten all the other chatizen profiles done. Nor do I plan to in the future.
warning lots of profiles to skim through. Not all of them are fleshed out.
Terrence E. Coyote (middle name Egnacio)
ChibiRoom handle: Techy-mancer2772
Age: 25
Species: Anthro Coyote? (his dad hasn’t confirmed if he’s part wolf)
Close colleagues call him Terry. His friend Rev will call him Ter (pronounced Tear, as in “tear it all up”). Youngest prodigy in science and engineering. Already 2 PhD and current researching scientist at Acme Technical University. Has been going through a shut-in gremlin phase about 4~6 months ago.
He just finished up his last contract deal that has freed him from college debt, especially after the debacle involving an undergraduate intern. So he’s gone into a pseudo-gremlin mode by indulging in all of the nerdy stuff he’s deprived himself of; including anime, cartoons, shows, movies and video games, personal sci-fi prop making, reading books, comics, graphic novels, and going to sci-fi or comic conventions.
Terrence is an introvert by choice and isn’t very social. So he’s socially awkward, and tries to hide it behind a professional facade. Unfortunately, he comes off as standoffish, aloof, and a bit arrogant. Only because he holds himself to a high standard in the pursuit of science and using science for good things. Has a few inventions and breakthroughs tied to him. But he’s best known to be a collaborator, despite how obsessive he is with research and the details.
Joined “Retro-tech” chibiroom since he has grown up retro-fitting or making old tech work.
Creon Gilead
Age: 24 (going on 25 eventually)
Species:Publicly Human. Latent Mutant status hidden for now
Sous-chef and assistant manager to the Leghorn building cafe that she started when she first worked as a barista at the coffee bar. Also overworks a lot with side hustles, her main job, and community/volunteer work. Loves motorsports, hover-board racing, roller skating.
Adrenaline junkie and adventurous. Quite reckless and has a YOLO mentality. She tries to keep an open mind to new experiences. She’s multi-lingual due to her life experience and time in the military, and living in the Crater. Her life hasn’t been kind, and she is both lucky and unlucky with whatever wild scenarios that happen near her. Creon is a glass-half-full type of girl who always strives to be the best version of herself. Which means doing her best to be kind in a cruel world.
Despite trying to be honest and true, she’s a bit cagey about her past. Nearly abstained from dating/romance for 2 years. Until Terry literally fell into her lap one night on the train. She’s unaware that the chatizens of the Retro-tech Chibiroom refer to her as “Snow White.”
Revel R. Runner (middle name Reginald)
Age: 24
Species: Anthro Roadrunner
One of the undergrad students who got lucky with interning under Terrence, despite Terrence’s vehemence against taking on another intern. Goes by Rev most of the time. He prefers it. Rev was the only one to pull Terrence out of his shell, most of the times. Rev is the only one who can keep up with Terrence, or at least understand him when they work together. And Terrence is able to keep up with Rev’s speed-talking. Rev has made it his mission to keep Terrence from becoming a cyborg in the possible future. Rev thinks Terrence needs to live a little and not let science be the sole reason for existence. Also works as a researching scientist and engineer alongside Terry.
Alex Bunny
ChibiRoom handle: Black-Ace-Kazma
Age: 24
Species: Anthro Bunny
Works as one of the personal trainers and instructors at the Acme Tech campus gym and recreation center. Later on, Alex will become Terrence’s personal fitness coach. Also someone who likes to watch really old school movies or films.  He’s a martial arts nut so he has an old collection of Kung-fu film dvd/blu-ray sets. These were passed down from either an old relative or grandfather. Some even on VHS cassettes. So Alex also knows how to use antique projectors, VHS, DVD & Blu-ray players. Later on, Alex will figure out Techy-mancer and Terry are the same, but won’t reveal this at all. He silently enjoys the shitshow and continues to encourage Terrence with the pursuit of personal and physical growth. Alex sometimes does some stunt work for films or tv.
Lexi Bunny
ChibiRoom handle: Loola_Honey55
Age: 23
Species: Anthro Bunny (distant cousin to Alex Bunny)
One of Creon’s besties. Met Creon when they were both auditioning for TV extras. Marketing Research specialist for a fashion company that caters to anthros. Lexi is gregarious, ambitious, and quite bubbly. But Lexi can also be ambitious, hard-working, and introspective when she needs to be. On spare time she takes care of her plants, tiny garden, and streams playing video games. She’s also a fashionista who likes to take thrift-store clothes and fix/spruce them up for herself. Lexi joined chibiroom asking for advice on integrating old consoles, emulators, or stream setup. But mostly the video games, since she likes to explore old-school games ranging from late 90s, and early 2000s. Plus, she likes some of the older consoles and games.
Ripley R Runner (middle name Roland)
ChibiRoom handle: RippingW!r3z226
Age: 22
Species: Anthro Roadrunner
Rev’s younger brother. Moderator of the Retro-Tech Chibiroom. Actually working on his own apps and software in spare time. Secretly wants to get approval from dad and take over family business. Due to a lot of time in the Retro-tech chibiroom, he’s made a few programs, mods, and even inventions to help the group. Has tested them out. Lexi was the first guinea pig to test out programs or plugins for her stream and video game setup. Rip may seem slow-speaking, quiet, and aloof, but he’s just as smart as his big brother. Maybe even smarter, especially in certain departments. Rip has that perfect balance of being business savvy, entrepreneur, and software engineer and inventor.
Tina Russo
Age: 26
Species: Anthro Duck
Another one of Creon’s besties. Met Lexi through Creon. They too are besties. Tina is down-to-earth, blunt, feisty, and street-smart. Tina can be brutally honest, especially during the early days of befriending Creon. It’s thanks to Tina that Creon started developing a no-nonsense attitude and was able to set boundaries for herself. Family came from Italian immigrants. Does construction work in modular housing. Has always liked building stuff as a kid. Helped her dad out a lot in his plumbing and handyman work. Has a degree in architecture. Transferred to Acmetropolis from home in New Jersey to work with a real estate company that is undertaking a city renovation project.
Daniel Duck
ChibiRoom Handle: Duck_Dodgers_livedangerous
Age: 24
Species: Anthro Duck
Is kind of a pessimist and a conspiracy nut. He’s really paranoid about how the government is using current technology as surveillance. A bit short-tempered and comes off as delusional or egotistical. Deep down he’s just a lonely, insecure guy who got done dirty by the child foster system. So he’s had to grow up a bit street-smart and cynical. The “Retro-tech” chibiroom is the only place he sometimes finds solace in and the first place he consults in regards to retrofitting some old gadgets to work. That and he’s kind of a lonely duck trying to cope with his unfulfilling mundane life.
Samuel D Tazman (middle name Denver)
ChibiRoom handle: Slam-Taztic-devil
Age: 28
Species: Anthro Tazmanian Devil
A local wrestler who works in construction work and welding during the day. Sam is actually chill and respectfully polite in real life, which tends to clash with other people’s perception of Tasmanian Devils. Sam is very fond of good food and happens to know which local food venues are best. Joined “Retro-tech” chibiroom for adapting some tech for his big hands.
Oberon_Maestro67 (chatizen)
Species: Human
A music enthusiast, musician, and loves performing or going to music concerts. Absolutely hates the idea of AI music overtaking normal organic music. Has offered a lot of audio tech integration advice and music recommendations.
T!meSk!pper136 (chatizen)
Species: Human
About high-school senior who’s kind of lonely but loves making models and gunpla or making robots for bot-fighting. Lives with grandpa, who is an acclaimed professor and expert on theoretical physics and time. For now, he takes solace in the Retro-tech chibiroom.
Sylphair375 (chatizen)
Species: Human
A bitter, pessimist who seems to like being a naysayer and bringing up the worst case scenario. Is actually a recovering athlete who is bitter about how his athlete career barely started after a bad accident and injury.
Cloudy-chance-185 (chatizen)
Species: human
Currently a news anchor intern working under Misty DeBreeze. Actually went to school to study weather and meteorology. Part of a small collective of volunteer weather watchers collecting local weather data for climate change studies.
Massivechad305 (chatizen)
Species: human
Just a guy trying to go straight while living on parole. Had been jailed for some time for burglary. Participating in a new parole rehab program which was experimental and difficult. Joined chibiroom to get help and resources for retro-fitting tech that accommodated his size. Doing odd-end jobs here and there. Training to get a welding license.
Wac-gran20K (chatizen)
Species: human
Creon’s next-door neighbor, enjoying her well-earned retirement with her pet canary, Tweety. She’s already aware that Creon is “Snow White” that everyone in the Retro-tech Chibiroom chat likes to talk about. She just chooses to not reveal this secret and just watch the drama unfold. Granny is the definition of “sweet little old lady.”
Yeah there are other side characters, like Zadavia and others who are also chatizens or just regular citizens living normal lives. But I don’t think I’ll get into them now.

So, given you are interested in DC, or at least aspects of it and RWBY I am curious what your thoughts were on the recent crossover? I assume positive given the art, which s amazing by the by. Also low key curious if you have any "born in DC" headcanon for superhero RWBY. No pressure though.
THE MOVIE YOU MEAN??? well first off thank you hahahah
& for #2 i don't really have any headcanons like that ... somehow i struggle with conceptualizing rwby crossovers w my other interests in general. (maybe it's because rwby's language is so specific to me i struggle to translate in or out of it????)
i do think however we should rank dc characters on how competently they could solve the salem situation /j*
the movies... i watched them back to back in the same night of course, so it was very funny to like, go directly from v7 to post-v9. they were like Guys you will not believe the shit that happened to us since last time we spoke
of course it's crossover spinoff material and not that important to me in the grand scheme of things. so my mode of interaction with it is mostly Enjoying A Light Snack. i can't say i have many capital t Thoughts that are worth posting about individually bc of that. but i DID enjoy the post-v9 aspect of movie2 bc like--altho obviously they can't dig into this shit in a crossover spinoff film--it still gives somewhat of an inclination towards what the writing room is thinking about. ruby especially i had a great time with. how's figuring out the summer rose shit going for you girl (BADLY) (LOL)
oh and omg invoking raven's name ... RAVEN MENTIONED... (to yang no less. heh)
a lot of salem namedrops in movie2 as well which i did chuckle about every time. speaking of, salem not going to vacuo Bolstered... hee hee hoo hoo... pleaaase give me evil gang meetup at beacon pleaaase
movie1 was a special treat for me because i loved all the "this doesn't make any sense this doesnt add up" Memory/Continuity/Spatial fuckery. i could've genuinely watched two full movies about rwby characters going "wait, that doesn't make any sense" at each other. i REALLY enjoyed that. very good show. pyrrha moment very fun also
i think zatanna shouldve showed up in movie2. for me.
i thought i was gonna miss bat ears brucie baby from the RWBYxJL comic more than i did. i think of him so fondly. but wings were kinda fun .... 🦇
movie1 had a little too much diana characterization disease for me to enjoy her. but that's so common its barely worth leveraging as Specific To This Movie. and i feel like she barely talked in movie2 so jury's still out on that. but of course there's a fair bit of wriggle room for the dc characters (in movie1 especially) as well given the "its a random ass crossover so the meta stakes have never been lower + they all got Genuine Teenager Brain for the whole first movie anyway"
movie2 had some pretty cool animation moments that i really noticed. movie1 wasnt like Awful but movie2 was the one where i perked up like "oh, that animation looked cool", you know? also i really liked the models they made for team rwby. the stylization felt nicely balanced to me?...if that makes sense. i hope we can see more models like them in the future just for me. idc who uses them but its my christmas wish RT please
final evaluation: better than DC/RWBY the comic. here is my favorite screenshot
Tumblr media
so true girls<3
*wonder woman could fix everything i know this about her

did you ever question your gender?
I think I sort of feel the same way about gender as I do about sexual attraction, which is that I can definitely observe other people acting in ways that indicate they are having an experience of it, but to the best of my knowledge I... don't.
like I'm old and society was in a very different place when I was young, and I think my first real introduction to the idea (outside of, like, gross transphobic jokes) was the 1997 movie ma vie en rose, which is about a young amab child who really likes pink and dolls and long hair and makeup and is in love with a boy, and I remember being like "I mean... you can like pink and dolls and long hair and love a boy, and none of that means you're not a boy?? it just means people are weird about boys liking those things? like... this child thinks anyone who feels this way must be a girl, but that's obviously not true. it's just because of cultural and societal oppression"
but then as I learned more and met actual members of the queer community, I realized that there was something else people were talking about that wasn't just "I like pink and nail polish and dresses so I'm a girl" or "I like cars and sports and having short hair so I'm a boy." like they were talking about an experience of feeling they were a boy or a girl or a man or a woman or something else they were working out on their own. not something they liked, but something they were. and that it was important for them to be able to express that, and communicate it, to move comfortably and confidently through the world.
and I just don't think I've ever felt that way. I'm not uncomfortable being perceived as a woman (or if I am then it's because of weird social things like being catcalled), but I don't think I'd be uncomfortable being perceived as a man, either (or if I would then it would be because of weird social things like being expected to be physically stronger), and there's never been any gender presentation I felt particularly drawn towards. I'd honestly rather not be physically perceived at all ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
like... tell you the gender thing that has resonated most with me, was a post on here about good omens talking about how crowley and aziraphale are both portrayed as being essentially non gendered beings (since they aren't human) but that crowley obviously enjoys playing around with gender presentation whereas aziraphale kind of picks a mode and sticks with it. and the post said "aziraphale's basic attitude to his own gender presentation is 'whatever. I don't even go here.'"
so maybe that means I am agender? but it's just never been super important to me. I mean it's important to me that others are able to self determine and make the choices that make them feel joyful and truthful about themselves, and I enjoy seeing what other people do with their gender presentation, but for me personally it's just sort of like "oh yeah. she/her is fine"

Shout out to @letsgivethisonemoreshot for helping me with this and giving me the original idea
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Your loud huff made Jay stop his actions to look over at you when you stated:
“That’s not fair! Why does yours look better than mine?” Your eyes stared at Jay’s perfectly carved Captain Hook and you couldn’t help but compare it to your terrible version of Ursula.
“Because I’m a man of many talents, honeybee” Jay twirled the switchblade between his fingers while smirking “And you, out of all people, should be familiar with my many talents”. He winked, but chuckled once he saw your defeated face “Oh come on. Yours looks lovely”.
“No, it doesn’t! It looks like shit!” You whined “I want mine to be pretty”.
“But yours is pretty, bee”
“No, it’s not” Your pout and mumbling made Jay pull you down to sit on his lap. He caressed your bottom lip with his thumb “If you wanted pretty then you shouldn’t have insisted on being Disney Villains”.
Your eyes rolled in annoyance “Well, I thought you’d pick something cute and fun for me, like Tinker Bell”.
“Tinker Bell is not a villain” Jay chuckled, and you gasped in shock “You shut your mouth! Of course Tinker Bell is a villain! Have you seen how mean she is to Wendy? She’s the true villain of that movie!” Your eyes went back to your definitely crooked Ursula and you felt yourself growing more and more frustrated by the minute. “That’s it, I give up” You threw the switchblade down on the table, making it land against the wood with a loud thump.
Tumblr media
“Hey!” Jay quickly picked it up from the table “Didn’t I teach you anything about mistreating my knives?”.
“I’m sorry, daddy” You mumbled, batting your eyelashes in an attempt to make him forgive you.
“No, no!” He reprimanded “Not gonna work! Apologize to her properly” He waved the closed switchblade in your face, making you roll your eyes in annoyance at his previous words. ‘Her’ and ‘my girls’, were how he referred to his beloved collection of switchblades and you knew better than to mistreat them like that.
You took the closed blade in your hand and whispered “I’m sorry” Before returning it to him. Jay took the switchblade in his hand and shook his head “Not enough…maybe you should kiss it better”. The smirk on his lips was playful and with a hint of malice. Without taking your eyes off him, you took the closed blade closer to your mouth, distributing small pecks across the marble white and stainless steel handle.
Jay’s eyes grew dark with desire and you could already feel his cock hardening against your ass.
His hands gripped your waist and turned you around so you could straddle his lap. Jay took the switchblade in his grip and murmured “Open”, making you open your mouth so he could slide the cable inside your lips. Jay pushed the cable in and out of your lips, making you moan around the blade. “That’s daddy’s good girl, treating his knives with love and devotion, just like he taught you. Right, honeybee?”.
You nodded in response before circling your hips around his erection. Jay’s free hand gripped your hair, tugging near the scalp “Behave” His warning came, followed by a low snarl that made your hips instantly stop moving.
Jay pulled the switchblade away from your lips, sliding it down your body until it reached your thighs. He dipped the blade underneath your skirt, scrapping the handle across your slit, over your panties.
“Daddy, please” Your whine was needy and desperate, making Jay smirk against your neck. “Do you want daddy to show you how to properly care for his knives, honeybee?” He rested the handle on top of your clothed clit.
“Yes, please” You begged, fingertips playing with the ends of his loose bun.
“Don’t worry, little bee. You’ll love what daddy’s blades can do to you” Jay grinned before pushing your panties to the side to glide the handle through your slick folds.

you said you wanted my thoughts so you're now my unwitting subject of gushing about this amazing manga!!
one aspect im really enjoying is playing with the "secret identities" within the love square!! like all the combos of meeting up between hana(e) and (shuu)mei
my fave so far has been the fake dating chapters between mei and yuuma :3 literally so cute. its like 4 tropes in one couple!! plus the contrast between the badass mei and the shy (but still dependable) hana(e) is adorable!!!
something i've noticed thaat i really enjoy is that hana(e) whille in "girl mode", does a complete personality 180, while mei seems to basically act the same no matter how she looks, simply just more smiley around hana , and i find that contrast really cute! its like hana is hana(e)'s "true" self, or at least the self she wants to be, whereas (shuu)mei is able to be himself no matter what she looks like .. or at least thats the way i've been analysing it
i'd love to hear your thoughts about the two's personalities in "boy mode" versus "girl mode" <- speaking simply about their presentation
!!! GLAD TO HEAR ANON this is gonna be quite long my apologies
the fake dating chapters were SO cute i get it!!! yuuma standing up for them even if he'd probably get his ass beat afterwards was everything to me. and mei tossing them back into the river msdkgjhjkthksjdgdh her approval of him at that time was so cute too wagh. i think my personal fav set of chapters were the horror movie date and and the mei reveal to yuzuru!! i love shuumei and yuzurus bond so much, its not often i see a deep platonic friendship like that portrayed without it turning into "oh its bc ive had feelings for u the whole time" kind of thing yknow. also terrified mei is just the cutest thing in the world to me i love him!! shes having an awful time!! hana i understand
Tumblr media
hana definitely does do a complete flip in personality and becomes more outgoing and comfortable around people as a girl and its rly sweet, presenting as a girl does so much for her and the person he's always wanted to be like i wish her only the best. love how supportive hiyoko's been going so far as to let him keep her girl clothes in her closet djkgsjkgsdh both little sibling charas mean the world to me actually
mei on the other hand definitely isnt much different from his usual shuumei persona other than maybe less rough in line with the "girl" image (though i adore when she starts going beast mode also. i love u mei) and even if at first he only started to become mei in order to get to know hana it seems shes started to enjoy herself in general and its super neat to me. i think about the mei and pride bonus chapter every day of my life its ok girl you can have fun. free yourself!!
though the few interactions between yuuma-mei and shuumei-hana r also super sweet, seeing them let a bit of their hana and mei tendencies slip during those times is super cute i absolutely cannot wait for them to figure it out/reveal themselves at some point :'] also this parallel in particular super funny to me you can really see the yuuma behind hana and shuumei under mei. silly guys
Tumblr media Tumblr media
also especially liked the shuumei gang hostage chapter mdskgjdksghj girl went in more excited to investigate paranormal activity forgetting the initial goal then really just walked in and asked to pick him up from an entire gang of violent punks. and actually did. iconic. and shuumei the wet cat ever kjsdgkgdshkj she was rly cute in that chapter he just wants hana to hear him out :']]] lil guys ever

I've referenced things sounding like "boomer poems" several times but I don't think that's as universal a reference as I think, but once upon a time the dominant mode of expression for boomers online were interminable nostalgia poems and not memes where the Minions express fascist leanings. I found a lot of these on the old Snopes Glurge boards but sadly those are gone & a lot of these gone with it
Let's take a look at an exemplar of the form, preserved by this glorious Web 1.0 website (and some thoughts on the genre at the end)
Long ago and far away, in a land that time forgot, Before the days of Dylan , or the dawn of Camelot. There lived a race of innocents, and they were you and me,
"Race" is a interesting choice of word here. I also like that this is very specifically 1950s nostalgia and excludes even early 60s nostalgia, even the parts of the 60s that were still the 50s culturally (aka the American Graffiti years)
For Ike was in the White House in that land where we were born, Where navels were for oranges, and Peyton Place was porn.
"Navels were for oranges" Nobody had belly buttons until that bastard LBJ
We longed for love and romance, and waited for our Prince, Eddie Fisher married Liz, and no one's seen him since.
One gender was expected to get married as soon as possible in a more limited social circle than now, a situation that never once went awry!
We longed for love and romance, and waited for our Prince, Eddie Fisher married Liz, and no one's seen him since.
Because his career was destroyed over marrying his dead friend's widow, Elizabeth Taylor (I didn't know who that was, I had to look him up)
Only girls wore earrings then, and 3 was one too many, And only boys wore flat-top cuts, except for Jean McKinney.
We strictly enforced gender standards and we had no choice but to like it!
I have no idea who Jean McKinney is. Searching for "Jean McKinney 1950s" just turns up this poem???
And only in our wildest dreams did we expect to see A boy named George with Lipstick, in the Land That Made Me, Me.
Boy George is a fearful icon of gender fuckery to older people, which makes him becoming a vocal transphobe who makes pronoun jokes even more depressing. Sorry if you found out that way. Also he once kidnapped someone and handcuffed him to a radiator for two days. ...sorry if you found out that way
We fell for Frankie Avalon, Annette was oh, so nice, And when they made a movie, they never made it twice..
We didn't have a Star Trek Five, or Psycho Two and Three, Or Rocky-Rambo Twenty in the Land That Made Me, Me.
I love these lines bc for one they aren't true. 1950s cinema was rife with remakes, extremely long series, and actors who played the same character in the same plots over and over. They made seven movies about a talking mule named Francis (not to ding Francis the Talking Mule, not to ding anything starring Donald O'Connor, who firmly Rules Actually).
But also it's funny that the bankrupt, formulaic era here is the 1980s. Which is now subject to identical nostalgia only now it's people sitting in front of posters for The Fly and Friday The 13th VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan bemoaning that Hollywood used to have ideas man, not all these remakes and sequels today
Miss Kitty had a heart of gold, and Chester had a limp, And Reagan was a Democrat whose co-star was a chimp.
The 1950s were great bc of a Western show that mostly ran in the 60s that had a character who was all but said to be running a brothel
We had a Mr. Wizard, but not a Mr. T, And Oprah couldn't talk yet, in the Land That Made Me, Me.
Oof! Oh boy! Oh yikes! Oh, oh boy! Oh boy! Oh, dear! Oh, man!
I don't think these lines mean...that, but also could've, uh, been more thoughtful about what celebs they picked to say weren't around back then
"Oprah couldn't talk yet" Because she was six, or because if she tried to have a show, she'd uhhhhhhhhhhhhh
We had our share of heroes, we never thought they'd go, At least not Bobby Darin, or Marilyn Monroe. For youth was still eternal, and life was yet to be, And Elvis was forever in the Land That Made Me, Me
Bobby Darin was chronically ill his entire life, and his knowledge that he would die young from his illness was the main motivator of his entire music career, but fair on the rest. In the 1950s, some famous people died young, unlike every other decade
We'd never seen the rock band that was Grateful to be Dead, And Airplanes weren't named Jefferson, and Zeppelins were not Led.
*groan*
And Beatles lived in gardens then, and Monkeys lived in trees, Madonna was Mary in the Land That Made Me, Me.
*GROAN*
We'd never heard of microwaves, or telephones in cars, And babies might be bottle-fed, but they weren't grown in jars.
Something else that identifies this as clearly written in or about the 80s is the jab at test tube babies, part of a full fledged moral panic then. A time where people would sincerely tell parents of children conceived by IVF that their children were abominations born without souls
And pumping iron got wrinkles out, and 'gay' meant fancy-free, And dorms were never co-Ed in the Land That Made Me, Me.
Apparently the 50s were the last decade where "gay" usually meant "happy" instead of "gay", though it did also mean "gay"
Also, *groan*
We hadn't seen enough of jets to talk about the lag, And microchips were what was left at the bottom of the bag.
Tbh I don't actually mind the reminder that, for people of the time, casual air travel was still so new, so seemingly miraculous that all the minor inconveniences wrought by it being a routine thing didn't even occur to people
But also, *groan*
And hardware was a box of nails, and bytes came from a flea, And rocket ships were fiction in the Land That Made Me, Me.
Rocket ships were a fantasy detailed every week on Walt Disney's TV show by a scientist with suspiciously few stated qualifications & a thick German accent
T-Birds came with portholes, and side shows came with freaks, And bathing suits came big enough to cover both your cheeks.
We used to goggle at disabled people in carnivals and cover our entire ass when swimming, unlike now
And Coke came just in bottles, and skirts below the knee, And Castro came to power near the Land That Made Me, Me.
I really didn't expect one of these boomer nostalgia poems to include nostalgia for Castro's revolution. Viva la revolución, comrade
We had no Crest with Fluoride, we had no Hill Street Blues, We had no patterned pantyhose or Lipton herbal tea Or prime-time ads for those dysfunctions in the Land That Made Me, Me.
Not here for bemoaning toothpaste polluting our precious bodily fluids but honestly a world without boner pill commercials is tempting
There were no golden arches, no Perrier to chill, And fish were not called Wanda, and cats were not called Bill
Perrier was introduced in 1898, but I also love the specific jibes that fish weren't called Wanda back then. What a weird pop culture property to single out and what a weird way to single it out
And middle-aged was 35 and old was forty-three, And ancient were our parents in the Land That Made Me, Me.
We all ate lead paint and were forcibly sent off to die in wars and we LIKED IT!!!
If you didn't grow up in the fifties, You missed the greatest time in history,
...gender, race, and sexuality permitting!
This is a mild one but there were some much more haughty ones I should try and dig up. I thought these were hilarious when I was like 16.
I think what this exposes is how often nostalgia is nostalgia for being a child. People get lost in the weeds and think their childhood was special for when it happened, but if they're lucky and grew up in a stable situation, people tend to remember the same things about childhood regardless of when it happened. Nostalgia for a specific time becomes a problem when they assume nobody born after, or before, can have something similar, that the modern world took away everything special, but...they're still kids. Their childhood won't look like yours, but twenty, thirty years from now, they'll remember it the same way you do.
The greatest time to grow up is a irrelevant question, because the greatest time to be a kid wasn't great because of the time. It was great because you were a kid
Really can't overemphasize that a lot of these aren't so gentle and are in full "back in my day we RODE IN THE BACK OF THE PICKUP TRUCK and NONE OF US EVER DIED!!! Pansies!!!!" mode

Wait so how long has it been since the apocalypse started in Reckless? I’m a huge TWD fan so I know that Rick and them got to Alexandria about a year and a half after the outbreak, has it been that long for this universe to or?
But then again I’m under the assumption that it hasn’t been as long as that though because of how easily she’d integrated into the community, Rick and them were on fight or flight mode for an extremely long time and I know that was one of the problems they had when they first arrived to Alexandria.
Plus she trusted all of them rather quickly, and I think people are more dangerous than walkers during an apocalypse.
I figured Iris would be making a return at some point but I didn’t think she’d be in the community already that’s crazy. The way I pictured it going was maybe the reader ends up building a bond with Tara and then sometime later on they find Iris during a run or something! Especially because they were in a serious relationship before the outbreak.
I know you can’t technically answer this but does that mean maybe Iris is already involved with someone there at the community? I know the reader is attracted to Tara but I don’t think she’d pick her over Iris if that wasn’t the case.
I have a deep love for apocalyptic and dystopian shows/movies so sorry if I talk/ask about a lot (But here I continue anyways lol)
Off of context clues I’m guessing the reader has been in another group before, maybe a bad group? Because she seemed more wary rather than devastated about the idea of joining another group. If I said groups are trouble, I would personally think it’s because I’d been in one before that didn’t survive and the prospect of being the last one alive is too much trouble or if I’d been with a group that crossed moral boundaries.
Is the reader estranged from her family? I think the first people who’d come to mind are my siblings and my parents if an outbreak was starting, also she was being driven to the airport by an Uber.
Did they conduct an interview of the reader before she’d been accepted into the community? She’s already being given a job and I don’t remember it being mentioned that they know much about her, I’m assuming whatever her job ends up being is related to what she was going to college for or maybe going out on runs to collect things for the community.
Sam and Tara saved reader’s life so I’m guessing they’re recruiters and they’d been watching the reader for awhile, because they didn’t really talk to her once they helped her or anything just straight up took her home like a stray dog lmao. I’m having a hard time picturing the reader as a recruiter because of how little the community knows of her, it’s only been a day and I think it’s too soon to think reader’s a good judge of character for recruiting but she’s been out on the road alone by the time they find her and that prompts the fact that she’s able to handle being out there more than the people inside the walls, so making her go on runs to help find things makes more sense to me.
I'd say it's been the same amount of time. Maybe just hitting about a year?
I feel like reader is a bit too trusting, but she understands and she still on her toes a bit. Also, she's kinda like "If they wanted to kill me, they could've done it." Which is true because Sam was in a tree with a sniper and reader didn't even know
Our girl Iris has been at the community this entire time! You'll how everything unfolds, don't worry!
I will not be pulling a Tom Holland so sorry if I skip over some of your questions, LOL
Reader will go in depth about her background soon, is all I will say.
Gale interviewed her, but it summed everything up in like one sentence, so it kinda seems like she didn't, lol
Sam is a full time recruiter, Tara is semi-part time. But, yes, they have been watching reader, I'm surprised she didn't even noticed lmao

in defense of cutler beckett
it’s kind of a tradition of mine to periodically write “in defense of” essays for unpopular characters (see “in defense of celegorm” and “in defense of bunny corcoran” lol), and idk what it says about me that i frequently feel the urge to advocate in favor of characters that are deemed unlikable/ unredeemable/ unworthy of attention by their respective fandoms, but i’m rolling with it lol. anyway, today, i want to focus on lord cutler beckett from pirates of the caribbean, because the general consensus about him on tumblr these days is… pretty abysmal lol, but i think he deserves a closer look. beckett seems to be the vast majority of people’s least favorite character, and not in an ironic way like some of the characters in POTC are treated online, like oh haha yeah barbossa was kinda annoying for going all ghost zombie mode on everyone but also we love him, weird eclectic uncle vibes, woo!.... no, everyone just straight-up hates beckett. and look: i get it, i really do. beckett is a much “realer” villain than davy jones or barbossa or salazar or any of the other POTC baddies, and that makes him much easier to hate. he’s not a giant octopus or a cursed skeleton or a slimy ghost guy with mystical powers, he’s literally just some guy– and he’s an asshole of a guy, because he’s basically just a random capitalist who wants all our favorite characters swinging from the gallows because they’re getting in the way of his trading schemes. and, if you count the price of freedom as canon, he’s also a slave trader, which is pretty unambiguously terrible. but despite all that, i actually like beckett. in fact, he’s one of my favorite characters in POTC: although it’s important to note that when i say that, i’m in no way saying that i condone his actions or that i think he’s morally good. as i see it, it’s totally valid to enjoy villainous characters while also acknowledging that they’re evil/problematic/whatever and that their actions are not morally acceptable in the real world. but the realm of POTC– where people (including the “good guys,” might i add!) are murdering and backstabbing each other left and right, any and all historical accuracy has to be taken with several grains of salt, and occult magic and sea goddesses and evil fish-men casually exist– is pretty far from “the real world” if you ask me lol. but anyway, let’s get into it then, shall we! (adding a read-more bc this is LONG oop)
beckett gets a really bad rap in the POTC fandom not just because he’s a ‘problematic’ character, but because on the surface, he comes across as a very one-dimensional, and therefore boring, villain. there are certainly other not-so-morally-pure characters in POTC that don’t seem to get the same treatment beckett does… no one really seems to talk about how pintel and ragetti threatened to r*pe elizabeth in the curse of the black pearl, for example. but pintel and ragetti are goofy comedic relief fan faves, and they’re also on the “good side” (aka the side of the pirates), so they have some redeeming qualities. in contrast, beckett is unique in POTC– a franchise famous for morally complex characters– for his seeming complete lack of redemptive nuance. he’s easy to understand as a villain because he’s just one of those villains who’s bad just ‘cause he can be. and he sucks! he’s ruthless, he’s power-hungry and materialistic, he plots against the pirates simply because they’re an inconvenience to him, and he represents the unjust authority which jack sparrow and the “good guys” stand against. the law permits beckett to freely exploit people in the name of the east india company, but does not allow jack and his companions even a chance of survival if they’re caught: and he knows how unfair this is, and doesn’t care. but here’s the thing: at its core, POTC is a pirate story told by pirates. of course we’re going to root for jack, will, elizabeth, and the gang over characters like beckett and norrington… because the pirates are the ones in control of the narrative. if we want, we can choose to believe them when they show us how much beckett sucks (and to be fair, they’re largely right lol), but it’s sort of boring, i feel, to just readily absorb the story that’s made most prominently visible to us and not bother to examine other perspectives. 
so let’s talk about beckett’s motives. maybe he really is power-hungry and exploitative because he just is, and that’s all there is to him… but again, that’s what the pirates think, but it’s worth considering other possibilities too. what is beckett’s backstory, then– what, if anything, prompted him to go on his pirate-killing spree? well, in the movies, he doesn’t have one. he kinda just shows up one day and crashes will and elizabeth’s wedding as an obnoxious power flex, and from that point on, he’s just, like, there and he hates the pirates REALLY bad and wants to kill them all through any means possible, seemingly just because he can. the price of freedom, though, does give beckett a backstory. i’m not going to summarize the entire thing here, but in it, he and jack once worked together for the east india co. before eventually having a big mutual betrayal where jack wasn’t a fan of the fact that beckett was transporting some slaves, so he freed them all, which fucked beckett’s career over so beckett branded him as a pirate and then went on to become the asshole we see in the movies. but to be honest, this doesn’t really compel me all that much. it’s certainly an important moment for jack, but it explains away beckett’s motives the same vague way the movies do, aka by going “well, he’s just evil because he is/always was.”  
what was really going on with beckett to force him through such a transformation had to have been much more than jack fucking up his job one time. the price of freedom tells us that he was a sickly kid not expected to live past childhood and that he was lowkey abused by his family, so i think a desire to prove his own worth was definitely part of it. but i don’t think beckett became evil (or doomed, for that matter) when he branded jack as a pirate. there’s a point in the book (if i’m remembering correctly) where young beckett gets captured by pirates and his dad refuses to pay the bail to have him released. it doesn’t explain how he eventually managed to escape, but i can only imagine that the experience left him with some internal damage… a fear of losing control, most likely, and of being out of his element. that’s kind of a lot for a teenager to take in… not only that his family doesn’t want him and he’s gonna have to fend for himself for the rest of his life, but that the world is cruel and unforgiving to vulnerable people, and the only way for him to survive is to seize all of the power and control he can and never let it go… because, if he doesn’t become the biggest fish, then a bigger fish is going to come along and that’ll be the end of him. beckett never manages to get rid of this fear of instability and vulnerability, which– especially after jack’s betrayal– manifests itself in a hatred of and desire to dominate (perhaps an attempt to conquer or mask a secret, intense fear of?) pirates and the occult. and of course, this eventually becomes his downfall, as he freezes the second he makes a mistake in at world’s end and is so unable to move beyond the loss of the upper hand that he literally just dies. beckett’s death is exactly what he deserves, but it’s also a remarkably devastating moment granted to a character who, up until this point, we’ve been guided to unreservedly hate and root against. in the grand scheme, it represents the fall of the old order, but for beckett himself, it’s his worst nightmare coming true– it’s the loss of control he’s been fighting this whole time and not realized was sneaking up on him till it was literally staring him in the face… and that’s tragic, and we’re meant to think so! we see his fatal flaw laid bare in a way that we would normally only expect the narrative to do so for its heroes, and it’s an incredible and shocking moment, being forced to briefly see things from the other side. 
it’s hard for me to hate beckett as i watch him dying, and honestly it’s hard for me to hate him in general, because tbh i do resonate with him in some ways. obviously, his actions as a character are awful (and in particular, there’s no avoiding or diminishing the unequivocal evilness of the slave trading thing), and that’s what makes him a villain. but at the root of it all, i kinda just see a guy who’s sought to prove himself for so long that now he’s at the helm of this incredibly powerful and dangerous position that he cannot lose because he’s nothing without what he’s worked for, but even as he’s surrounded himself with people he can use as tools he has no one he can truly trust, so he projects this cold and calculating persona at all times because he has to, because it’s how he maintains control and he has to maintain control because without control he knows he’s already lost, but as tightly wound as he must be, he somehow manages not to break his composure even at the very end and goes down with his fucking ship in a moment that’s weirdly heroic… like. you don’t have to like beckett, but i do think he deserves respect. in a fandom full of wacky, fun, exciting characters, i know it’s not exactly intuitive to focus on the one decidedly un-supernatural, un-thrilling character… but in a story told by, about (and arguably for) pirates, beckett maybe rebels the most of all, by refusing, right down to his last moments, to succumb to a narrative that was never for him in the first place. and i think there’s something to be said about a character who-- villainous or not-- sticks by his principles till the end even as the very world around him bends to different rules, who doesn’t run from the law when it no longer benefits him but who acknowledges that he’s lost and owns it.

things i wish i could tell every young person on the internet (alternate title: an open letter to myself at 18)
- identity labels are an option, not a requirement, and they aren’t the only thing that define you.
- you’re also always allowed to change your mind about them, and you should never feel anything but proud of yourself for doing so.
- it’ll only do you harm to view your trauma(s) and mental illness(es) like immutable personality traits. you deserve to accept that things will get better. 
- if you’re cishet, that’s okay! you don’t “have” to be queer to prove you’re not a bad or boring person.
- fiction does not equal reality, and fandom is a hobby, not a venue for activism.  “problematic” fanfiction has literally no effect on society, so don’t ever feel bad about enjoying what makes you happy! 
- try, above all else, to be kind to yourself. you deserve it.

i’m not just a “villain apologist.” oh no no... when i say i like a villainous character, i not only mean that i fully support all of their evil actions and believe them to be totally justified and tremendously sexy, but also that i partake in the same evil actions irl and thoroughly enjoy it. “but you can’t like that character, they murdered someone!” yes, and? i murder at least one person a week for fun, what’s your point

My, this is quite the turn of events.
What the hell happened in the past two weeks while we were gone, Donbrothers? We've got a funny red man, a blue monkey and a yellow oni who're a pair of losers, a pink bird wife guy turned epic divorce man, a jailhouse black dog, and a bunch of autistic kids hanging out in the void by themselves! ...also a Tiger/Dragon system apparently just off to the side, which is quite unusual for a Sixth Ranger.
Also, uh... yesterday morning, Kohei Murakami, who played Kusaka in Faiz and Bud in Zyuohger, after asking if his followers saw episode 36 of Donbrothers, shared a picture of Inoue captioned "Toshiki Kabedon", which is uh... exactly what you might imagine it'd be. I know I don't usually show pictures, but I find this deeply compelling. Look at his goddamn face. Look at it. That is a man who knows.
Anyways, Spoilers I guess beneath the cut~!

-A supreme win for the ages!
-Hey there emergency guy!
-Well done, report back to HQ.
-Goooooo Tsubasa!
-Hell yeah, you got him!
-Good job, Tsubasa!
-Only one. Ore koso.
-Did the creepy origami cats free him? Or did he rip out of there on his own?
-SONOSHI WHAT
-That form... IS THAT A HENSHIN NINJA ARASHI REFERENCE
-Well, I guess... they're a bit more even now. This man came waltzing in, so I guess he's here now. See you on Monday, I guess.

Did you like Miyuki because she has a Renamon?
That fact was just the last drop of the glass for me to stan her (ง ื▿ ื)ว
But if I’m being honest, I love the fact that my new daughter has “the same” partner as my Digimon Queen so yes, maybe it had to do with that :3c
Look, I barely kept an eye on Survive news that involved the plot and important details because I love to enjoy the experience and it felt great to see everything for the first time uwu but I do remember seeing an scan that had Garurumon and Renamon.
SPOILERS AHEAD!! Because I literally cannot explain my love without addressing the plot. Consider that I've only done the Moral route and the true ending route (that is also the Moral route... I think? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)
When I first saw the prologue movie (4 years ago????) I thought “those kids” were ghosts or entities like Gennai but to be honest, didn’t give them much of a thought.
Just beginning the game, I knew Miyuki would be the one I was going to adopt, even when she wasn’t really having an “important” role during the first 5-ish parts, just with their intro was enough, I knew she was a kind and sweet child I mean, she clearly saved Akiharu by pushing him into the portal right when she was being trapped by the Kenzoku fog, but if I’m honest, didn’t payed too much attention to Renamon being there xD and still I found myself looking forward for the moment I would encounter Renamon and Gabumon later in the game.
It was part 8 that made me love Miyuki, but first we had Renamon going rage mode killing a good amount of Dokugumons just to save her (which was pretty badass) and I knew that if they were willing to murder just to save Miyuki, then I must too~
Right when Piemon abducts Miyuki, I was very desperate to go and save her and then well, part 8 came and we could see a “full” Miyuki once again, this time with the chance of interaction with Takuma and watching her true sweet and kind self. I can’t even count the amount of times I wanted to cross the screen whenever she begins to realize that the time she spent in the “isekai” wasn’t mere hours, but 50 years but what broke me the most, is exactly when Takuma says that they are in 2020 and she cries (I cried too), I just couldn’t stop imagining what was going on with her mind; friends and family are likely gone (except Akiharu of course xD), her house might not even be there anymore and if it is, there must be other persons living there, the landscape and people being too different, just imagine the shock of a little 11-ish girl.
But what I loved the most about Miyuki, was her determination to go back right to the evil being that wanted her to be a sacrifice and not just to save her friends but the world, she goes big! And when you choose the bad end, she goes back anyway! And right at the very end of the True ending route, she does not wishes to defeat the master/Haruchika, but to save them despite all the awful things she and Renamon had to endure.
For once, I worry how Renamon was able to keep her alive for 50 years like, they got enough food? There was food for our protragonists worth half a year, right? Did Renamon feed Miyuki with that food or went to search for more? Obviously it seems that Miyuki was barely able to do something for herself aside walking and mildly comunicate so, Renamon bathe and dress her this whole time? Honestly, this devotion is something I loved in this Renamon and I can’t just stop crying ;w;
What also broke me, was in the Moral route when the Kenzoku fuses with Miyuki (Master-controlled) and Renamon sacrifices themselves to protect Akiharu (and you get Omegamon yay) because I totally thought there was no way for Renamon to go back geing a digitama (since I thought this was also a permadeath) so I cried, thinking that Miyuki would never see Renamon again but jokes on me because after the fight, thanks to Miyuki’s tears “fusing” with Renamon’s data, a digitama is made and I couldn’t stop screaming “give me back the tears I cried for you!!” and I loved how Miyuki was thinking on a life in the human world with Renamon. Plus the moment she realizes she was never alone and that it was Renamon who was always beside her, that melted my heart.
Anyway, the reason I love Miyuki is about that, but also I bet it’s because I always fall for the one chara that suffers and somehow is the “voice of god” just like how Hikari and Himekawa-san were possesed by Homeostasis which, speaking of them, and knowing that Survive is an homenage to Adventure, I think Miyuki and Renamon resemble Hikari and Tailmon so yeah, I guarantee you that this also helped into me falling in love with them uwu

Starlight Dream - Chapter 32
“Hey!” Ume said, running up to her. 
Himari tilted her head, curious why the elder magical girl was speaking to her. Their interactions, so far, hadn’t been that friendly. Himari would almost characterize them as borderline hostile. 
“Hey,” Himari said, deciding to be nice anyway. She disliked being mean to people, even jerks. 
“We haven’t really spoken,” Ume said, somewhat awkwardly. “Want to go out for lunch?”
“I’d love to! Aiko told me about this super stylish shop nearby.” Seina’s friend seemed to have an eye for fashion. Impressive, considering she’d lived in slavery most of her life. 
“I suppose,” Ume said, crossing her arms. “I’ve had little need for fashion.”
“Really?” Himari said, blinking in surprise. 
“I rarely use my civilian form. It leaves me too vulnerable to a magical girl attack.”
“No.” Ume’s partner, Hope, said. “It’s because you have a terrible fashion sense.” 
“Hope!” Ume said in protest.
Himari fought the urge to laugh. “It’s fine. I’m sure we can find you something nice! Besides, I’ll keep an eye out for any trouble.”
“It’s still too much of a risk,” Ume said, frowning. But the girl relented, untransforming after Himari’s insistent badgering. Her civilian form wore a shabby gray and black school uniform, with only a bright red box around her neck for decoration. 
A reluctant Ume followed Himari into the market area. Sellers peddled their various goods from stalls, buyers ruthlessly haggling for better prices. They sold products ranging from jewelry to actual farm animals. It was like a marketplace from a historical movie! 
Some buildings housed indoor shops, but they were rarer, selling more specialized goods. It was a fun experience, nothing like she’d experienced back home. 
“Would you like this shell necklace, dear? I can promise a good price.” An older woman said. Much to Himari’s sadness, the granny was missing a leg. She wasn’t the only one who’d suffered such dismemberment, either. The vampire’s reign of terror had left terrible physical and mental scars that persisted in their victims. However, Himari saw most stayed positive despite their adversity.
Himari gave a polite refusal, guiding Ume along further. The older magical girl wasn’t as impressed by the market, instead keeping a watchful eye for trouble. Some wonderful scent caught Himari’s attention, giving Ume a slight nudge. 
“How about soba for lunch?” Himari asked, guiding them towards an old fashion soba stall.
“Sure,” Ume said, still distracted. 
Old habits die hard, I suppose. Still, Himari promised to give the girl a fun time. 
“What will you have?” The stall’s owner asked. 
“Pork, please!” Himari said. 
“Same,” Ume said, nodding. 
They shared their bowl with their fairy partners, Himari’s eyes widening as she slurped up her first noddle. It was fantastic, the best she’d ever had. From Ume’s wide-eyed expression, she thought the same.
“Grandpa, your soba is the best!” Himari said.
“Thank you, young lady.” The stall owner replied, giving a grateful bow. “I inherited this stall from my father. Been a family business for generations! Though the vampires forced me to close it for several years.” Grandpa’s mode darkened before brightening. “Still, old bones haven’t lost their touch, eh?”
“Indeed, you are a true master,” Ume said, giving a rare smile. Himari supposed her past gave her a few reasons, too. 
As they ate, Himari’s companion suddenly asked a random question. “How old are you?”
“Eh?” Himari almost choked on her noodles.
“I’ve just learned Seina’s pretty young. I’m just wondering if you’re similar.”
“Oh, I see. You’re shocked to learn Seina’s only ten!”
“You already knew about that?” Ume asked, surprised.
“Sure. Seina told me herself.” The poor girl. Seina sure had plenty of responsibilities for someone her age.
“Figures.” Ume sighed, entering a gloomy silence.
“Eh, a couple of eons.”
It was Ume’s turn to almost choking on her food. “What?”
“It’s complicated. I entered the outer dimensions recently. It complicates matters. Time and space mean little there. So, my exact age is indeterminable. Before my trip? About two hundred.”
“Huh,” Ume said, somewhat lost for words. “May I ask another question? Why did you betray Starlight Dream? You served them for centuries.”
“Not out of choice! Do what they ordered or die.” But Himari sighed, staring into her soba. “But I suppose that doesn’t excuse the terrible things I did. That is the reason I joined Seina, though, to make amends. Someone needs to stop the suffering.”
“Hmm.” Ume didn’t sound totally convinced. 
“I’m not alone, you know!” Himari said defensively. “We’re all terrified to oppose the Devil Princesses!”
“Yes. But can you be forgiven for such terrible crimes, forced or not?”
“I know.” Himari sighed. “But being human is about learning from our past mistakes and growing from them. Trying is better than quitting, right?”
“Though I’m hardly one to judge.” Ume gave a self-deprecating smile. “My sins are numerous.”
“I understand your doubt, but give me a chance to prove myself,” Himari said, with feeling. “I promise you, I want to make my past right.”
“You seem like a good girl. I’ll keep an open mind.”
“Great!” Himari said, Ume gasping in surprise as she seized the other girl’s hand. “Friends!”
After recovering from her shock at Himari’s sudden forwardness, Ume nodded. “Friends.”
“Good! Let’s eat up and do some shopping!” Himari scrunched up her face. “Something other than a drab school uniform.”
“Okay, okay,” Ume said, but she smiled. 
Ume’s just lonely. Has she ever experienced a normal life? No wonder she was so prickly. They ran hand in hand as they darted through stalls, trying on everything they could. While reluctant at first, Ume started having fun at the third clothing stall. 
“How does this look?” Ume positioned a sundress before a mirror, seeing how it would look on her. While cute, the color wasn’t flattering. The girl was terrible at picking out colors. Himari wondered if her new friend was color-blind. 
“Get this one.” Himari pulled out a similar dress from a rack. “Blue matches your eyes.”
“That looks great on you, Ume!” Hope said, beaming. 
“Thanks.” Ume’s said, hiding her reddening face as she pushed her purchase toward the woman at the cash register. “This one, please.”
“Sure thing, dear.” The woman replied. 
“Where to next?” Himari said as they entered a park, leaving the stalls they’d been exploring. Ume wore her new outfit, looking absolutely adorable. As usual, Himari’s taste was impeccable. 
“Some ice cream sounds good.” Ume pointed towards a stall near the beach. 
“Sounds good,” Himari replied, watching in amazement as her friend took four scoops over her single one. She hoped the girl would be careful and not ruin her new dress with them. 
“You sure like sweets,” Himari often spotted Ume eating Pokey sticks. She must have gone through four packs during the other day’s meeting.
In response, Ume gave a noncommittal grunt. She jabbed at her bowl of ice cream with a spoon, a monstrosity where each scoop was a different flavor. They ate in silence as Ume decided to not respond any further. 
“Thanks for this,” Ume said, breaking the silence. “I needed this more than I thought.”
“You’re welcome,” Himari said. “I was eager to learn more about my new teammate. When I was on Starlight Dream, I’d always heard rumors about you. Turns out you’re just as cool in person!”
“Is that right? You aren’t what I expected, though.”
“Really?” 
“You’re so normal. It’s a miracle you didn’t get purged!”
“Not for a lack of trying.” Himari forced those terrible first years from her mind. She’d seen so many nice girls dead for the slightest slip-up or careless word. The training had been cruel, meant to harden their hearts and terrify them. 
“But it’s better after you survive general training.” Himari gave a slight snort. “The entire system is unwieldy, actually. They recruit so many magical girls that the higher-ups can’t keep track of everyone. So some are more productive than others.”
“Hence why girls like Takako are in it,” Ume said, her tone thoughtful. “I’ve never seen a girl so lazy.”
This earned a laugh from Himari. “If you keep your head down, it isn’t the worst.” Though, some magic girls were quite enthusiastic about spreading suffering. Himari often wondered if they were ever human. 
“The real villains are the Devil Princesses!” Himari said with feeling. “If we beat them, maybe we can restore Starlight Dreamto a force for good! It just needs some reformation!”
“Is something the matter?” Himari said, catching Ume’s odd expression. 
“Oh, nothing,” Ume said. “I’m just wondering what I was even fighting for?”
“Huh?”
“I thought I needed to kill every magical girl to stop Starlight Dream.” Ume looked away. “I never imagined good people might be stuck within it. From the beginning, I should have aimed for the leadership instead. Stupid.”
Himari grabbed Ume’s hand, giving it a tight squeeze. “And I’ll be here to help you. Together, we can make amends for our past mistakes and make a better future.”
“… Thanks.”
“Ume, are you crying?” Hope said, her voice teasing.
“No.” Though, Himari noticed Ume avoiding her gaze. “Hey, look! They have an old fashioned Japanese artist over there!” 
“Okay, okay!” Himari laughed as Ume pulled her in that direction to avoid their current conversation. 
---
“So, this is the place?” Miko asked. 
“Oh yes!” Nyx said, beaming. “This ugly rock is Seina’s home!”
“Yuck, you aren’t kidding about this being a junk pile.” Miko studied the squallier these plebs called home. From their clothes alone, it was apparent these people had almost nothing. Despite being on the verge of being condemned, residents packed them. Some lived in actual shacks near the beach. 
Miko turned toward their accomplice for her insight. “What do you think, Chō?”
“…” A pause as the girl observed two small children laughing as they pushed a shopping cart across the street filled with a random assortment of junk. “…”
“You’re not wrong,” Miko said, shaking her head. “It’s too hopeful around here.”
“…”
“My partner has a good point!” Kelv said. “Considering the planet isn’t a wasteland, we’ve somehow beat the Devil Princess to the punch!”
“Miracle that.” They’d known the universe’s location, but the Devil Princesses could cover a considerable amount of ground with their godlike abilities. 
“...”
“I know,” Miko said, scowling. “If we fight Seina and her flunkies, it’d only attract the Devil Princess’s attention.” Then they’d be in real trouble. Their leaders wouldn’t appreciate someone getting in their way and stealing their prey. “We’ll just need to be quick.”
“...”
“Yes, I’m positive Seina lives in Osaka! Her accent gave it away.” Nyx said defensively. “She lives in the Prime Minister’s residence. I bet she’s still there.”
“If Emiyo is anywhere, it’d be there,” Miko said, nodding. “But that raises other issues. Seina and her flunked wouldn’t be easy foes.”
“...” 
“That’s a bold plan, Chō.” Miko considered the possibilities and risks before nodding in agreement. “But necessary if we’re to find Emiyo.” She shuddered, considering the dank torture dungeon Seina probably had her kept. 
“...”
“Okay,” Miko said, nodding in agreement. “We’ll wait till dark to enact our plan! We can’t afford to get caught” While she didn’t fear Takako, the girl had a habit of being unpredictable.
“Sure, let’s find someplace comfortable,” Kelv said, stretching. “I’m starving. We can snack while we talk. Hey, they have rice cakes!”
“...”
“We’ll get some sushi too.” The fairy replied. “I see a cart over there.”
Miko beamed. It wouldn’t be long until they rescued Emiyo, and this miserable planet was a smoking crater. And then, promotion for dealing with an infamous enemy of Starlight Dream! Her rise to lieutenant was long overdue! It’d take some convincing, but the Devil Princesses would appreciate Seina and her cohorts being captured alive. Miko giggled, already imagining her new office once they concluded this mission. 
---
“Good work,” Ume said. “That should be enough for today.”
“Thank goodness!” Seina’s arms were sore after defending hundreds of attacks, each striking harder than the last. Defending against her new teacher hadn’t been easy, Ume always attacking where Seina would least expect. Her bodyguard nodded when she mentioned this. 
“Yes, she seems to have considerable fighting skill.” Mr. Kiyojiro said. “Are you self-taught, Ume? I don’t recognize your fighting style.”
“More or less,” Ume said, shrugging her shoulders. “I’ve always had a talent for combat.”
“We should get you a proper teacher.” Mr. Kiyojiro said, considering. “You still have much room for improvement.”
Seina paused, a sudden thought occurring to her. “These last centuries of endless fighting and you never got a proper teacher, Ume?”
“No, I didn’t think of it,” Ume said, flushing.
“That’s Ume for you. So obsessed with revenge, she forgets everything else!” Hope said, laughing.
“Shut up, you!” Ume snapped back. 
“You’re not teaching her karate, Mr. Kiyojiro?” Seina asked when she brought up the point. 
“No, it doesn’t suit her.” Her bodyguard said. “How about boxing? A gym opened a couple of days ago. The coach will be happy to teach you. He’s an old friend.”
“Boxing?” Seina said, confused. “But that’s not a martial art.”
“It is, but fancy martial arts aren’t everything.” Mr. Kiyojiro said. “A nasty right hook is just as viable as a palm strike. Besides, its uncomplicated nature suits Ume.”
“Really? Why didn’t you suggest boxing to me, though?” Seina asked. 
“Because you need to learn discipline, and karate seemed the best suited to provide it.” Her bodyguard said, making Seina flinch. He always seemed to draw attention to how easily distracted she could be. It wasn’t her fault she considered training boring. Seina pointedly didn’t make a comment on her bodyguard’s unflattering observation. 
“I’ll consider it,” Ume said, considering the idea.
“What about me then?” Himari said. “I’ve never trained in fighting whatsoever.”
“You can join us in our karate lessons.” Her bodyguard said. “See if you like it.”
“I will!” Himari said, beaming with enthusiasm. “It sounds fun!”
Am I the only one who finds training stupid? Still, she supposed it’d be fun sparing with Himari. A sudden wave of loneliness struck her, reminding her of when she’d been training partners with the disguised Takako. They’d been fun days, even if it’d been a deception. 
If she pestered Takako enough, would her friend join them for sessions? While a long shot, it seemed worth a try. Otherwise, her friend would just lounge around all day, reading manga. But would training even help her friend in the long run? Takako seemed better suited to magic than martial arts.
A yawn overtook her, the day’s exertions finally gaining their hold. Seina allowed her bodyguard to guide her toward her room. Colten rested on her head, Seina smiling when she heard his quiet snoring. With another yawn, she slipped into her pajamas and brushed her teeth at Mr. Kiyojiro’s insistence. 
“Goodnight, Seina.” Her bodyguard said, pulling the covering over his dozing ward. He gave her a gentle smile. While odd on his rough, gruff face, it was full of affection and love. 
She snuggled close to Colten, enjoying his tiny body’s warmth. “Night. Mr. Kiyojiro.” Seina barely finished those words, falling into an exhausted, dreamless sleep. 
---
Seina jerked in surprise as a hand clasped around her mouth, startling her awake. An unknown girl with brown hair glared down at her, venom in her eyes. Seina's heart almost beat out of her chest, recognizing the girl’s elaborate costume. She was a magical girl. 
“Where is Emiyo?” The girl asked.
Eh? Seina shook her head, not understanding the question. She blinked as her eyes adjusted to the dim light. Behind the mysterious magical girl was a giant robot, its appearance something out of an anime. Its chaise was white, shaped like an egg with arms and legs. It filled the room, its domed head almost hitting the ceiling. Behind the cockpit’s glass window was a green-haired girl with thick glasses who watched the scene impassively. 
 Seina shook her head, difficult with the brown-hair magical girl’s vice-like grip. She flinched as the girl tightened her hold. 
“I repeat, where is Emiyo?” The girl growled. “My power should allow me to find her anywhere, but it isn’t working. I’d find her even if she was dead! Where have you hidden her?”
Emiyo? Seina’s mind raced, wondering why a magical girl would rush to another’s aid? Didn’t the magical girls of Starlight Dream all hate each other? In desperation, Seina gave a slight shake of her head. 
“You don’t know, or you don’t wish to tell me?” The brown-haired girl asked. Seina hissed in pain as the other girl’s grip threatened to tear her poor head off. “You can say a few words. I’ll snap your neck if you even attempt to summon your powers or cry for help.”
Seina nodded in understanding, tears stinging her eyes. She’d never been this scared before, completely at the other magical girl’s mercy. Her knees buckled, praying for someone to save her. 
“She escaped! No clue where she went!” Seina said, trying to be as accurate as possible with so few words. 
“What?” The brown-haired girl frowned. “A lie, surely!”
“No, Miko. It makes sense!” Said a familiar voice. It was Emiyo’s partner, Nyx. “She’s using her time powers to become out of sync with the universe! An easy trick to avoid detection magic. My partner is clever. Otherwise, Takako could find her easily.”
“So we broke into here for nothing?” Miko said, sighing. “Oh, well. If we kill Seina, it’d all be worth it!”
No! Tears slipped along her face to plop onto Seina’s sheets.
“Later!” Miko said, her tone all false cheerfulness. 
Everyone in the room blinked in surprise as the arm holding Seina dropped away, blood splattering over her nice sheets. Seina screamed, scurrying away from her captor’s arm as it landed on her knees.
“What?” Miko screamed even louder, grabbing at her stump in terrified confusion. 
“I can’t allow that.” The newcomer held his sword in a protective stance, huddling over her.
“Are you okay, Seina?” Paliah said, his tone gentle and kind. It contained none of the nervousness he’d displayed before. 
“Y-yeah,” Seina said, her words coming out in a jumble. “Thank you.”
“You the hell are you?” Miko said, staring at Seina’s rescuer in both outrage and apprehension.  
“Call me, Paliah.” The knight said. “I’m Seina’s protector. Touch a hair on her head again, and I’ll sever yours from your neck!”

Akaashi
You and Akaashi were beautiful people
Probably the most attractive pair of young adults that anyone can find
You were both top tier models in the industry
You always had a little rivalry between you but you always promised each other to never let it affect your ‘relationship’
“Beautiful darling, your beautiful” praised your photographer as you finished your shoot giving you air kisses on your cheeks. You thanked him and the rest of the staff and entered your dressing room sighing.
“Rough day?” Asked a voice, startling you a bit. You looked up to see your boyfriend, Akaashi Keiji sitting in the corner of your dressing room on a love seat.  
“Gosh Keiji you scared me” clutching your chest dramatically “But yes, the day has been tiring Fabio has really been overworking me lately” you complained. Akaashi walks towards you and gave you a peck on the cheek “Aww poor baby” he cooed mockingly, “but don’t worry ‘bout it Y/N your sucess will be all be worth it eventually” he says making you smile.
“and besides, you’ve got a shoot with me soon anyways” he winks, making you chuckle. You finished removing your make-up as Akaashi tells you about his shoot today and Bokuto’s (your fellow model friend) antics.  
You and Akaashi first laid eyes on eachother when you were both up and coming models, you both are under the same company. At first, both of your agents decided to make you spend time with each other to push the narrative of you being a couple anyways. However, since you and Akaashi had great natural chemistry it made your relationship great and made for a great photo too.  
As much as the public loved your relationship and the saucy photos you tend to make together, they also thrived of the slight rivalry you guys had together or the times when you guys bother shot with other people (since it was easy for a fan to make a new ship off of two people literally standing next to each other.)
You spent the next day having what you and Akaashi called a ‘rest day,’ you both specifically clear your schedules for every 2nd and 4th saturday of each month to not do any work-related for the day and just bask in each other’s companies (as you were both busy and barely got enough time to see one another.)
You watched multiple movies, made your own homemade cookies and dinner, had pillow fights, built forts. You both were having so much fun, until you both got a call...Just then, the vibe changed you went from your free-spirited fun selfs back into work mode.
Your agent told you that two brands *Insert big fashion designer brand here* and *Insert another big fashion designer brand here* were having some form of standoff. To be honest, you didn’t really care about the context of the shoot(s) in this case, as your agents call ruined your day. They wanted you and Tsukishima Kei, to do some competing shoots and promotional videos for their brand against the other designer.
After getting all your information from your agent, you go back into the living and see Akaashi sitting down thinking deeply about something. “What was your call about?” you inquire sitting down next to him.
“Oh just some silly designer brand competition thing.” he mindlessly replies, still thinking deeply.
“Yeah same. So what’s got you thinking all deeply then?” you ask
“My fellow model is going to be Kiyoko Shimuzu” he sighed, making you blink repeatedly before immediately saying “You can’t do the shoot”
Kiyoko Shimuzu was japans beauty. Everybody loved her, she’s been a model since she was a child everyone wanting a grasp on her looks. The guys wanted her, the girls wanted to be here. Kiyoko Shimuzu was a force to be reckon with.
The real problem at hand wasn’t her stunning looks, popularity and fame. It was her connection with Akaashi. Before Akaashi went big and met you, he was Kiyoko’s boyfriend (well ex-boyfriend now) and they broke up because of long-distance or something like that.
However, to you, Kiyoko’s feelings for your boyfriend have never went away. Whenever you guys bumped into each other at red carpet events or runway shows, she always seemed to linger a bit too long around your boyfriend, which definitely wasn’t to your liking.
Akaashi lifted up his head from inside his palms and looked at you as if you had grown another head. “What do you mean, ‘I can’t do the shoot’” he asked in disbelief
“I mean, you can’t do the shoot” you reiterated not understanding why he didn’t understand.  
Akaashi sighs before putting his face back in his hands to think, “Well I know you got to the shoot aswell Y/N who’s yours with.”
“Tsukki” You said nonchalantly say as if it was nothing, making Akaashi look at you again as if you were fully crazy before he had a chance to speak you cut him off saying “Don’t even start Akaashi.”
You and Tsukishima Kei, have best friends since you were kids. You weren’t romantic in any way shape or form, well at least you weren’t. Akaashi always claimed that that Tsukishima was in love with you, that you and Tsukishima were the perfect example of every ‘childhood friends-lovers trope’ ever, which to you wasn’t true. Everything between you and Tsukishima was and still is completely platonic which you can’t say the same for Akaashi and Kiyoko.
“You’re not doing the shoot” he says firmly as if he was your father.  
“Oh so you can do your shoot with your literally EX GIRLFRIEND, but I can’t do mine with my best friend... yeah make sense” you say standing up, astounded.
“Y/N chill, If you’re so adamant about me not doing it with Shi- Kiyoko, then I wont” he says pulling your arm down making you land on him “and you better not do it with ‘Tsukki’” he mocked.
“Okay so none of us are doing the shoots?” you ask looking up at him  
“Yup” he says  
“Pinky promise,” you joked sticking out your pinky in his face.
“Pinky promise” he agreed hooking his finger around yours.
For the next month it seemed you were booked busy, you barely got to see your boyfriend as his agent had him running around all of Japan and even had him booked in some places in Europe for this month. Of course, you missed him, but you understand how busy it can be doing your line of work. You’ve been quite busy too, doing the usual shoots and runways.
Although he was busy, Akaashi basically went radio silent on you. You still expected him to reply to some of your messages or at least call once or twice when he had the chance, since he must have 10 minutes of break time and that's the bare minimum.
It’s been two weeks since you last saw Akaashi (and that was on your saturday rest day) and you were expecting him to come over today so you could have another. Since of course, Saturday ‘rest days’ were basically a tradition for you and Akaashi before you even started dating.
You had no text from Akaashi explaining his lateness/absense, so you just figured he wasn’t coming putting a damper on your day. You spent the day lounging around and shoving your face with your favourite snacks and food.
You get a text from Tsukishima which read:
Tsukishima: 1 Image Attached  
Tsukishima: Looks whose boyfriend stumbled on set...
You didn’t respond as you were shocked at the sight you saw, the image was a picture of Akaashi and Kiyoko on set doing shots for the *insert the other rich designer brand* the shoot that you both agreed you wouldn’t do, which was also a LINGERE brand.  
You felt betrayed, you both agreed to not do the shoot and it’s not like you did do yours. You made sure to turn it down the day you made your agreement. And he skipped on your traditional saturday ‘rest day’ without even giving you any word of him not planning on arriving.
You didn’t know what to do, do you confront him about it? Or do you wait for him to approach you? Since he would plan on telling you about this right? You eventually messaged Tsukishima a ‘thanks’ and you decided how you were going to handle the situation. Pop up on Akaashi and Kiyoko at the photoshoot.
You knew where it was at, since you had the address already from when your agent first offered you the idea. You drove to the place in a breakneck speed, strutting in there like a woman on a mission (which you technically were.) You decided to wait in Akaashi’s dressing room, not wanting to cause a scene at the shoot which would be bad for yours, Akaashi’s and Kiyoko’s image and would be a waste of the time of the staff and photographer there.
Akaashi finally finished the shoot and entered his room with a sigh not realising that you were sitting in the corner of his room. “Did you have a rough time?” you ask mockingly making him jump and his eyes widen as you were the last person he expected to be there. “Why so shocked, you weren’t expecting me?” you still keep the same mocking tone in your speech.
“Y/N I-” He started  
“Y/N what?” You interrupted “Y/N I’m sorry for basically ghosting you for a month? I'm sorry for doing a shoot with someone who I know is still in love with me? I’m sorry for lying to you? I’m sorry for skipping out on our rest day with no explanation on where I am?” you stare at him as he stares back speechless.
“Oh, am I missing something?” you continue “Oh yes ‘Y/n I’m sorry for doing the shoot that we both agreed that we weren’t doing’” you sit down and wait for him to reply.
Akaashi puts his head down in shame, not really knowing what to say. Because of his silence, you roll your eyes and get up fed up with his lack of explanation. Before you fully leave Akaashi blocks your way with slight tears in his eyes “I had no other choice Y/N, I had to do all those shoots and travel other places with Kiyoko because sh-”
“Wait, that’s where you were?” you shout “Gallivanting around the country with HER!” you extend your arm pointing outside the door before you turn trying to leave again.
“N-No No Y/N you’ve got to listen to me” he said putting your hands on my shoulder “She has something, on me and I-I couldn’t I can’t get out of it. It’s deeper than just a simple shoot.” You were confused but you were so upset you just didn’t want to hear it so instead of listening to your boyfriend you decided to say “you’re so full of shit Akaashi” making him gasp at your coldness and the use of his last name. “ but hey I guess thats my fault for trusting you”
You finally left the room and went to go get a breather for a second with tears sparking in your eyes. You leaned against the wall and whispered “fuck” frustrated with the whole situation. Making you jump, Tsukishima said “you should go talk to him you know.”  
“What do you know Tsukki” he cringed at the nickname
“I know more than you Y/N, just go talk to him.” he said making you squint your eyes at him wondering what information he held.
When you walked back to Akaashi’s dressing room practicing an apology in your head. But you paused your arrival hearing Akaashi talking to the one and only, Kiyoko Shimuzu in his room.
“Let’s face it Akaashi, now that I’ve got this sex tape of us, I basically own you.” she said to him making your eyes widen.  
You decided the smartest thing to do was to pull out your phone and record as much as the conversation as you possibly could. Because you could already tell Akaashi was in a bind.
“The next thing I want you to do is...” she continued acting as if she was thinking “break it with Y/N!”
“No certainly not Kiyoko, you’re going too far.” he said making you smile internally that he still defended your relationship. “Me and Y/N are definitely NOT breaking up.”
“Akaashi are you forgetting that I have something over you.” she pulls out her phone and she plays a video, which you can only assume is the sex tape. You can hear a bunch of moans and groans which made your stomache ache.
Tired of hearing this, you burst into the room and say “What the fuck are you doing Kiyoko”  
“Oh Y/N how lovely for you to join us...” she said with a smile, “I was just discussing with your ‘boyfriend’ plans for our next shoots.”
“I always knew you were a bitch.” you say shocking your head at her.
“What do you mean Y/N?” she says with a fake smile, not knowing that you were listening in on your conversation “Actually Akaashi was telling me something he had to tell you... isn’t that right Akaashi.” you both looked over at him and he was scared and speechless.
“Oh you mean how you’ve been blackmailing him for the past two weeks...” you accuse  
“You have no proof of that.” She taunted  
“Oh do I..” you rebuttal then pressing play on the recording you just took watching as both Kiyoko and Akaashi look shocked. Kiyoko scurries out the room knowing she’s been caught leaving you with a triumphant smile.
You sit down, gesturing Akaashi to sit next to you. “Akaashi, I’m so sorry for not listening to you earlier I felt so betrayed thinking that you went agaisnt out agreement, but I guess I was just being a self-obsessed bitch” you say with you now looking down in shame.
“Y/N” he says with you still not meeting his eye “Y/N look at me” he lifted your chin up so you met his eye “It’s fine, It’s completely fine you didn’t know of course you didn’t know, how would you know of sex tape I unknowingly did back when I was 16!” he exclaims “Its fine, we’re good” he pulls you into a hug and kisses you on the forehead.
After you both calm down, Akaashi explains how Kiyoko started to blackmail him and how the agency loved the idea of them two being together (not the blackmailing) as it created a jealousy storyline between you and her and how every time they met she kept proposing ridiculous demands.
“Also, how did you know I ended doing the shoot?” he asks
“Oh a little bird told me” you tease  
“You mean a 6ft2 bird with blonde hair and a shit personality.” he retorts making you laugh  
“Heyy don’t be so mean, if it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t of came to save the day.”
“True, I’d give him that.”
Eventually, you and Akaashi go to your agency and present all your evidence and claims that Kiyoko was blackmailing Akaashi. Although they were upset, that Akaashi did partake in a sex tape they knew that they’d be an even bigger scandal if you presented your news that Japans sweetheart Kiyoko Shimuzu was blackmailing Akaashi Keiji. So the agency thought it was in everyones best interest if they got Kiyoko to sign an NDA saying that she will never bring forth or share the Sex Tape to anyone and she’ll agree to be dropped from the agency.
Your life was great now, with Kiyoko off your back and Akaashi being back to his usual self you couldn’t wish for anything more. You ended up doing the shoot persuading the design brand person (whatever the name for it is) to agree to let you do the shoot together instead of with other people. Both brands let you, because who wouldn’t want Akaashi Keiji and L/N Y/N to do a shoot together?

Monaco (Charles Leclerc)
Summary: Y/N is Tom Holland's manager and this year she attends with him to the Monaco GP. What if she meets one of the Ferrari drivers?
Word count: 1896
A/N: Sooo this is my first work. Hope you like it❤
Tumblr media
Since I was little, Tom and I were friends. I grew with him and got to see every step made into Hollywood. I met all of his friends and become a little group were Zendaya and I were the only girls. Harrison and I worked with him, he's his assistant and I'm his manager, so we travel together a lot. This year, after all the press interviews of his last movie he wanted to take us to a vacation to Monaco, the same week the Formula One is taking place there. The city is full of cars and people, and it's easy to be caught by some Tom's fans an the streets.
"Man, look at those pretty cars" Harrison was living his life, watching all the Ferrari and Mercedes parked in front the building "Haz you are drooling" I laughed looking at my friend "I mean, they are cars..." "Are you for real? Y/N look at those beatiful machines" Tom sighed walking near a Ferrari "Oh, so fucking gorgeous"
I laughed looking at my best friends being in love with two cars and when two men dressed with red shirts came near them they stood up real quickly.
"Are you Tom Holland?" one of the asked with an strange english accent. "Oh God, and are you Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz? The Ferrari drivers?" Tom has his fangirl mode activated. "Yeah" they laughed and Harrison started to talk with them.
I'm standing away of them, letting the four men talk, while I'm talking on my phone with one of Tom's sponsors, and I started to feel a pair of eyes locked on my back. When I turned around I saw one of the drives, don't know his name, looking at me with a smile on his face.
"And you are?" he asked turning all the attention to me "I saw Harrison with Tome in media, but... you?" "Oh, I'm his manager" I answered walking near them, placing myself between Tom and Harrison and touching Tom's shoulder "Y/N L/N, nice to meet you" "The pleasure is mine"
Oh damn, flirting are we?
The drivers said goodbye to us the doors of the red Ferrari that was near us and the one who filtered with me started the engine of the car making Tom and Harrison shout of happiness.
"Will you see the race?" the driver asked me with a smile on his lips. "I think so" I smiled at him feeling how my checks started to burn. "I'm Charles, by the way, Charles Leclerc"
Tom and Harrison laughed loud signaling my blushed face and I kicked both of their arms. We started to walk to our after graving something to eat on the steet and when we arrived to our suite OK the hotel I booked I started to call one of Tom's sponsors who is here in Monaco.
"Come one, Y/N. Stop working, we are here for relax and forget about work." Tom complained taking my phone from my hands. "But..." "No buts, enjoy." Harrison interrupted me covering my mouth with his hands "Plus, can we talk about how Charles Leclerc started to flirt with you? He had heart eyes" "Oooh, that's true!" Tom started to jump in his seat, clapping and laughing "He even asked you if you were going to see the race" "He wasn't flirting, he was just... being polite" I sighed rolling my eyes. "And why did he started following you on Instagram?" Tom took my phone on his hands when it turned on with a notification "Oh! And he sent a message to you!"
I stood up front the couch and walked to my bed with my phone between my hands, opening Instagram and reading his message.
charles_leclerc: Hey it's me, Charles Leclerc. I wanted to know if you can come to the Ferrari paddock with Tom and Harrison?
I smiled reading his message while bitting my lip.
me: Hi Charles, sorry we already have an invitation from RedBull... but of course we're going to walk near! I think Harrison wanted to have a look to the cars
charles_leclerc Oh, well... So, do you like Monaco?
I laughed softly. He changed the topic so quickly that o even se that coming.
me: I haven't seen too much, only the harbor and some nice shops... but it's pretty
charles_leclerc: Do you want me to show you the city?
I gasped in surprise, sitting on my bed and looking at the screen of my phone.
"Guys?" I shouted, hearing their footsteps coming near me. "What?" they shouted looking at me worried. "I think Charles Leclerc asked me to go with him on a date" "I KNEW IT!" Tom exclaimed "Okay so, what did you said?" "Nothing! I mean, what if he's joking? I'm sure he is..."
Tom rolled his eyes and started to tap on my phone, writing a message for Charles. He smiled and then put the phone on the bed.
"You have to get ready, he will come in an hour" "He what?" "Go on. And put something red" Harrison smiled and they left me alone on my room.
Sighing I opened the suitcase and searched for something to wear but nothing red. I dressed with a midi black dress and some sandals and painted my lips with a red lipstick.
"He's here" Tom said looking outside the windows, waving to someone on the street "And he has the Ferrari we saw this morning. Damn Y/N, enjoy the drive and then describe to us how the car was" "You are a freak" I laughed opening the door.
Leaving the hotel Charles opened the door for me with a big smile and started to drive on the streets. He showed me all the important places and personal places like his mother's house or the school were he studied when he was a kid. Some fans who recognised him started to cheer for him and he waved to them with a smile on his lips.
"Is like that everyday? Like you walk on the street and everyone knows who you are. Aren't you stressed about that?" I asked him looking at all his fans. "Not really. Well, it's true that when I race here I feel a lot of pressure because you know... it's home and they are my people. But you know... is really good to feel the support of them" he explained smiling to me. "I guess so..." "And how it is being Tom's manager?" "Is like if I'm taking care of a child! I'm always looking that he doesn't spoil a movie, or swear on public TV... but I love him, he's my best friend since I was little" I smiled, moving my hands while I speak. "I have to confess that the first time I saw you Carlos and I thought that you were his girlfriend " he sighed. "God, no! Never in a million years" I laughed.
He smiled to me and parked the car. I looked outside and when I saw that we are on the top of Monaco I sighed with happiness.
"Wow, what a wonderful view" I smiled looking at the sea "Thank you for the ride, Charles" "I hope you enjoyed it" he smiled grabbing my hand and walking to a bench.
None of us talk, instead we enjoy the silence looking at the sea. I didn't notice that his hand is still holding mine but I don't care, it feels right.
"You know... when I saw you this morning the first thing I noticed was you, not your friends" he said, squeezing my hand "Like, yeah they are Tom Holland and Harrison Osterflied, but... you are beautiful" "Charles..." "I don't want you think that I say this to every girl a see" he interrupted me "I mean it. You are gorgeous, Y/N"
I smiled and placed my head on his shoulder, leaning on him I little.
"Come to my garage tomorrow at the race" he whispered. "But I already talked with RedBull" "Only you" he insisted, interviewing our hands and caressing my skin "Please" "Okay..."
He laughed softly and stood from the bench. He drived me back to my hotel and I promised to meet him tomorrow at his garage, waving goodbye to him. Opening the door of the suite I'm welcomed my Tom and Harrison asking me about the date.
"It was... fine" I answered with a smile "The car, I mean. The date was actually really good." "Do you like him?" Tom asked with a smile. "Well... I only know him since this morning, but he's kinda cute"
The next morning we walked to the track, Tom waving to all the people who recognised him and laughed when McLaren started to put the SpiderMan theme song on their garage. When I reached the merchandising shop I stopped to by a Ferrari shirt and put it on me quickly, making Tom and Harrison laugh.
"What? I'm going to their garage, at least I should wear something for them" I sighed at them. "You like Charles " Harrison singed hugging my shoulders ", and that's really cute." "Yeah, whatever"
I stopped in front of Ferrari garage and Charles waved at me with a smile on his lips, dressed already on his driver suit. I followed him and sat where he indicated me before he reached to the car.
The race started, and he was first because he finished first yesterday on qualification. But after some minutes something happened to his car.
"No. No. No." He said via radio.
He can't race anymore, his car stopped working only at the warm up lap. The garage started to move stressed and requested for a safety car to bring Charles back. My phone started vibratting and the screen lighted up with a Tom's message.
Tommy: That was Charles, right?
Me: Yeah...
I heard the door of a car closing and the next thing that happened was a surprise to me. Charles started to walk towards me and he hugged me in front of everyone.
"Hey, are you alright?" I asked caressing his back. "I'm not" he whispered on my neck.
He started to shake and I searched for help with my eyes. A woman watched us and she waved to me catching my attention, making me go away from him and catching his hand walking in front of him. The woman lead us to an empty room and she smiled at me before closing the door.
"Hey" I put my hands on his cheeks lifting his head up. "No, please. Just... hug me."
I sighed and hugged him. He started to cry on me, wrapping me with his arms and making me caress his hair.
"It's okey to cry, Charles. I'm here, not going anywhere " I whispered softly.
He sat on the couch and I sat on his lap, humming on his hair trying to calm his nerves. When he stopped crying I took his face between my hands and dried his cheeks with my fingers.
"Everything is fine" I smiled to him.
He looked at me and started to lean on me, looking between my eyes and my lips. Our foreheads are touching and in one second his lips are on mine.
"I only know you for a day... but I already like you, Y/N" he sighed on my lips making me smile. "I like you too, Charles"
