Part 4/6 - First / Previous / Next

Track: ‘What’s In The Middle’ - the bird and the bee

6: I have chosen my name 6: And before you try, there is no way any of you will guess it

Thunder: Not even 1?

6: No, because I doubt it is a word he actually knows

2: No, that isn’t possible 2: 1 said the word petrichor earlier remember? There isn’t any word in basic he doesn't know

1: I assure you there are plenty of words I don’t know.

Treble: I’m shaking because I think I know it!

Corsair: You think you know a word 1 doesn’t?

6: He does not

Treble: Yes! Treble: I saw your face 6, you definitely didn’t take it as the jab it was intended to be

1: Excuse me?

Thunder: What do you mean jab? Who is picking on 6?

Corsair: Treble what are you talking about what fight did you start?

2: Picking on 6 is illegal. Right 1?

1: Somehow I am certain.

6: Stop it, all of you. I am perfectly fine.

Treble: Some medical officers were meeting up and 6 got partnered under one of the seniors to shadow for the day. He was being really specific and drastic in my opinion on how well 6 was doing. 

6: He was teaching me Treble. You’d know if you ever listened to your teachers.

Treble: Teaching doesn’t usually involve complaining you aren’t strong enough to carry unconscious troopers, about how you are too young to handle medical emergencies or snapping at you for your stitches. 

2: Excuse me?

6: Treble

Thunder: 6

6: Stop

6 has changed 6 name to Stapes

1: See? I have no idea what that is.

Stapes: There, now file your complaints properly

Thunder: Stapes

2: Treble

Corsair: Both of you, explanations, please

Stapes: It’s the smallest bone in your body, the inner ear, and it fractures easily.

Treble: They’re fine together now. Came to some sort of agreement by the time I heard him call him that.

Stapes: The agreement was that even if I am the smallest, I’m able to reach tight spots easier and proved I can pull a trooper out. That my stitches take up a fraction more time but will hold ten times longer through re-engaging and retreating. And I handled the MO’s medical emergency just fine, for just a kid.

1: Stapes is the smallest and lightest bone, yet without it, the galaxy would be deaf to itself.

2: …See now I am doubting you didn’t know the word

1: The holonet does exist 2.

Thunder: …Nah, you must’ve known it

Corsair: So we aren’t fighting the medical officers?

Stapes: Not unless you plan to fight me too

Corsair: Treble?

Treble: I’m still not happy about it Treble: But I already love the nickname Stapes so I guess I can get past it

1: Treble, you just typed his name.

Treble: Draw out the a and forget the e. Like Stay-ps

Stapes: Don’t you dare

Corsair: Oh that is wonderful

1: Stap’ika.

Stapes: I will accept that. On conditions

2: Conditions being it is any of us?

Thunder: Whenever we want?

Corsair: Because we can?

Stapes: Kark around and find out

Treble: Aweeeee, you love us

1: It is a perfect name for you Stapes.

Treble: AND it means it is time to place your bets on who will now take the longest to decide their name! The poet, or the explorer

1: Sigh.

If Only You Knew (Chapter Three)

Harry walked around Grimmauld Place one night, looking at all the pictures that are hung up on the wall, finding one inpartical one of a golden haired girl with a bright smile, he asked Sirius and Remus about the girl in the picture, learning her whole story.

“Where did you find her now?” Dumbledore stepped onto the bus, his eyes falling onto Lexi, who laid unconscious on one of the beds, the bus was invaded by Auror Alastor Moody, Kingsley Shacklebolt and Dumbledore.

“Wiltshire sir, she was running, and she collapsed just there,” Stanley pointed to the door where Lexi fainted.

“I know who she is,” Dumbledore said moving Lexis hair out of her face. “She’s been missing for nineteen years,”

Moody placed himself beside Dumbledore looking down at the girl. 

“What are we going to do with her?” Moody asked looking up at Dumbledore who looked at white as a ghost, seeing a ghost.

“We bring her to the ministry, no one knows she is here, we need to know what happened to her, no one knows, the Blacks, Potters, Weasleys no one!”

“Won’t they find out, Grimmauld Place isn’t much for secrets Dumbledore, nothing goes without a word,” Moody said looking at the girl, he could see her breathing much heavily, looking down at all the scars placed on her body.

Lexi heard all of it, not opening her eyes, she felt scared, she wasn’t going to the ministry, not a chance was she going to let them take her back away, all she wanted was to see her friends again.

“Talk out here Dumbledore, privately,” Kingsley suggested walking out of the bus, Dumbledore nodded his head, Moody followed, leaving Lexi alone.

She opened her eyes, laying on her side, she saw Stanley looking at her, he was about to say something but Lexi shook her head.

“Bring me in Grimmauld Place please, i’ll pay you,” Lexi whispered looking around, she saw the back of Dumbledore's head outside the window.

“Miss I don’t think that’s the best idea,” Stanley said walking over, he blocked the view from Dumbledore. “What happened to you?”

“Don’t listen to her,” Dumbledore commanded stepping back on the best. “Lexi you won’t go back to your friends just yet, we need you to tell us what happened,”

Lexi closed her eyes, unable to move much from being to sore, she just shook her head.

“Sirius, I wanna see Sirius, bring me to him,” 

“Dumbledore, what if she’s to weak, shouldn’t we bring her to the Weasleys, they’ll heal her,” Kingsley suggested looking at Lexi, he had known her as well, sending search parties after search pariress to look for her.

“Sirius Black does not want to see you, none of your friends want to see you Lexi, they have forgotten about you,” 

Lexi opened her eyes, looking at Dumbledore confused at his words. 

“Dumbledore,” Moody said stepping up, he looked confused at Dumbledore, then catching his drift.

“For their safely you were obviate from their minds, now we will be going to the ministry, okay,” Dumbledore took a deep breath, turning around and walking out of the bus. Following by Moody but Kingsley looks at Lexi hurt.

“Thats not true, is it?” Lexi asked Kingly letting tears fall down her face.

“It’s true kid, for their safely,” Kingsley turned on his heels walking out of the bus, leaving Lexi and Stanley back alone again.

“I’ll do it,” Stanley whispered looking around. 

Lexi stayed quiet, unable to form any other words, she was confused, her heart broken, the adrenaline was slowly wearing off and she felt her whole body cramp.

The bus doors slammed, causing Lexi to open her eyes, Stanley was shouting incoherently infront of him and the bus was moving.

“Voldemort's back,” Lexi whispered looking at Stanley who turned to her. “He did this, he kept me alive all these years,”

Stanley walked over to Lexi, moving her hair out of her face and bending down to face her. “We can take you to the only open place in Diagon Alley, they’ll know where you’re going, you’ll be good from there won’t you?”

Stanley grabbed Lexi’s hands, helping her sit up. She had tears falling down her face, in pain, mentally and physically.

“Thank you, I promise i’ll repay you for all,” Lexi fell forward, wrapping her arms around Stanly. “Thank you,”

The bus stopped and Lexi pried her head up, looking at the orange building that was infront of her, a face infront of the store, lifting a hat from it’s head.

“You’ll be good from hear, I hope to see you again sometime,” Stanley helped Lexi stand up, putting his arm around the girl, it was nightfall and the store was empty.

“Thank you,” Lexi whispered as they stepped off the bus. Stanley knocked on the store door then let Lexi go. 

“You be safe out there Miss, I believe you’ve got a chance, the ministry is no place for a girl like you,” Stanly nodded his head,  staped back onto the bus and quickly taking off.

Lexi looked into the building, a plump woman was walking down the stairs, before she could get to the door, Lexi turned the corner quickly, pressing her body flat.

“Hello who’s there?” Molly Weasley shouted looking around, unable to see Lexi who held her breath. “Bloody hell,” She mumbled about to shut the door.

Lexi let out a breath, unable to face a stranger, or anyone else. Kings cross was not far away, then it wasn’t a far trip to Grimmauld Place.

Diagon was a quiet place at night, the stores were all blocked in, broken windows, Leix had known all about this, hearing about Bellatrix cakcling as she torched her, telling her sister all about her day.

Lexi stayed close to the wall, blending in with the showdowns, staying as down the dark as she could, her adrenaline was the only thing keeping her afloat, knowing she’d be seeing her friends soon, if they had remembered her.

“Keep a eye out for her, you never know where she could be,” Greyback snarled walking the streets, Lexi held her breath, shaking her head as she watched Greyback and a couple sntactherd walking passed her, she was to far in the darkness for them to see her.

Greyback stopped, turning around and facing where Lexi stood, He sniffed a couple times, walking slowly towards Lexi.

He had only been so close, putting his hand out slowly, reaching out, Lexi closed her eyes, having nothing in her to fight.

“Where are you?” Greyback growled then shook his head, Lexi could have sworn his eyes at turned a dark shade as a smirk appeared on his face.

“Oh wolf boy, lets go!” One of the snatchered called out, Greyback shook his head, turning around and walking away from where Lexi stood.

She knew she wouldn’t make it much longer, unknowing if she’d even make it to kings cross alive.

As Greyback and the snatchers were out of view Lexi stepped out of the shadows, slowly walking towards the three broomsticks, hopefully making it to the muggle world.

Her legs began to grow tired as she approached the three broomsticks, something wished she’s stayed behind, that ginger woman would have helped her.

The Three Broomsticks door opened and out walked Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley who looked around Diagon Alley, with a frown.

“James,” Lexi coughed out staying in the shadows, she squinted her eyes, looking at Harry a bit more. “James,” Lexi said a bit louder, stepping out of the shadows.

Harry turned his head to where the nose was coming from, he had seen Lexi step out, but hadn’t made it a foot infront of herself before falling to the ground.

“Harry who’s that?” Hermione asked watching Harry slowly walk forward towards the girl who laid on her side, fainted.

Harry bent down to the girl, moving her hair out of her face, Dumbledore had cleaned most of the dirt off, around her face at least. He let out a gasp, falling backwards and looking infront of him at Lexi.

“Help me get her up!” Harry screamed helping himself up and grabbing the girl. “She’s a friend,” Hermione, Ron and Harry pulled the girl up, both her arms were wrapped around the boys.

“Bloody hell Harry I think she’s dead,” Ron whimpered looking beside him, examining Lexis face. “She doesn’t look so good,”

“Harry i’ve seen this girl before,” Hermione whispered following beside the two boys, exampaning Lexis face as well.

“She’s Sirius friend, she went missing, we need to get her back,” Harry pushed all his weight up, looking over at the girl. “What happened to you?”

Lexi opened her eyes, breathing heavily and looking over at Harry. “You look just like James,” Lexi smiled happily, she hadn’t felt so good, unable to feel her legs anymore, her whole body felt numb and her head was pounding, her body slowly breaking down.

“He’s my dad, I’ll bring you too him, you’re gonna be okay Lexi,” Harry smiled walking into The Three Broomsticks.

“We should get someone, don’t you think?” Hermione asked as Harry and Ron placed Lexi down on a sofa, thinking to themselves.

“She’s been missing for nineteen years Hermione,” Harry tossed his hands on his head, looking away from Lexi. “Are you able to travel with the floo network?” Harry asked Lexi, who he was unsure was alive at this point.

“My mum, she’s down at the shop, i’ll go get her!” Ron took off running, grabbing some floo powder and disappear in green smoke.

“Sirius, is he alive?” Lexi mumbled closing her eyes and falling back on the sofa. She felt tired and that all she wanted to do was sleep.

“Don’t shut your eyes,” Hermione gasped bending down and grabbing Lexis hand. “He’s alive, and you’ll have to stay alive to if you wanna see them,”

“Goodness Ron what is all this fuss!” Molly Weasley chimed as Ron and Molly came out of the fireplace. 

“Molly, help us!” Harry shouted looking at Molly then at Lexi who now had her eyes shut, no matter what Hermione said.

“Oh dear!” Molly cried out running forwards and dropping beside the girl. “No one is awake at home right now, help me get her up!”

The Untamed, episode 49 - watching notes

*takes deep breath* ONLY TWO EPISODES LEFT!!! 😭😭😭

Btw, this is how I spent my day. Baking a subtly shippy pie for my family, who thought I had mixed up the date easter falls on 😅

Therapy-baking to cope with the end of a show aside, I'm still not ready for this show to end 🥺

I still find it hilarious how little patience wwx has for jgy's villain act 😅

Like bitch, you wanna talk tragic villain backstory? You got nothing on me 🤨

Yeah, I thought the "my friend" part was a bit rich, too :/

I get that jgy, like all good villains (If he really is the villainof this story is debatable, but for tha sake of this argument I'llrun with it) doesn't think of himself as such, but he's got to realise the magnitude of his betrayal towards lan Xichen

Wait what?

What did jgy do at the burial mounds specifically that has lxc renounce their friendship ALREADY? 😳

Ah! or was that off-screen during the previous episodes when lxc got trigged into this situation?

What do they say about the anger of a gentle man?

Oooh, so the fact that jgy acted now was due to the letter! I feel a bit dumb that I hadn't realised that 😅

"Do you really not believe in me at all?" ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? HE DID!

He believed in you when no one else would!!!

I just noticed that that's another parallel to wangxian. Only ... 😬

That shot gives me goosebumps...

Those red robes are beautiful :'(

Poor Quin Su ...

Jgy saying to lxc that his naivety shocks him ... well that's the point, right? That's why he could fool lxc like this. I'm not sure if naivety is entirely the word I'd use, but I can't find a better one right now 🤔

But it's definitely the right word for the way he saw jgy. Maybe it's the fact that lxc naturally assumed that because HE didn't see jgy social standing, jgy wouldn't either. But jgy could never shake off his parentage because both his environment and his own ambitions never let him

So of course jgy thought he "had no choice". The choice was between doing the right thing and giving up his status he had fought so hard for or doing the wrong thing and keeping it. To him it wasn't a choice

And he's right, that's a position none of the cultivators present, not even wwx would have ever had to face

Still

FUCK JIN GUANGSHAN!!!!! 🤬🤬🤬

I can emphasize with almost everyone in this story at least somewhat

But that guy can go fuck himself

Fuck, did he just slap him? 😳

Lan Xichen is honestly way beyond his limit

Didn't we already establish that Jin Guangyao arranged for the confrontation that lead to Jin Zixuan's death?

Okay, no I just gathered that from context when we learned that Su She had played the second flute 😅

Oh Jin Ling 😥

Yes, life isn't fair. The world isn't fair. Frankly, there is no one in the cultivation world who isnt at least guilty of some crimes by virtue of doing nothing

BUT THAT'S NO REASON TO DECIDE TO BEST THEM AT THEIR OWN GANE BY BECOMING ARGUABLY EVEN WORSE THAN THEM!!!

Argh!

What an awesome shot!!! 😳😳😳

Sometimes this show's cinematography is just *chef's kiss*

"Women are trouble, especially those who have read a few books."

*takes a deep breath* *screams into pillow*

I'm good

I know patricite is frowned upon but ... that's the one thing i can't be angry at jgy for 🤷‍♀️

Not saying it's right, just that I'm not particularly angry about it 😅

Nooo! You won't dare to hurt the ONLY FUVKING PERSON WHO HAS ABSOLUTELY NO FAULT IN YOUR MISERY!

🤬

"He hid it inside his body"

He did what now? o__O

Ugh

Jiang Cheng offering himself up for Jin ling 😢

For a second there I thought the banging on the door was a gunshot and was REALLY confused 😅

Sometimes I forget Huaisang is even there and then they'll show his shocked and I'm like ohhhh you're still here 😅

Who?

Lan Sizhui! How is it that everyone in this town???

I swear to got if Lan Sizhui dies now I'm going feral 🤬

Mingjue! 😳

First of all I GOT ONE PREDICTION RIGHT! 🥳

But ... wasn't he in that coffin BEHIND them???

Hä?

Ah okay, it's wen Ning not Nie Mingjue

Explains why he was with Sizhui

I have a new kink. It's wwx controlling spirits by whistling 😳

Ohhh shit

Is this how jgy dies?

Holy shit that's a lot of blood

Awww, jiang Cheng called out for wwx with the same concern he called for Jin ling *sniff* :')

Ugh

Ugh

Another lost arm

Was it baxia or lwj? 😳

IT WAS LAN WANGJI! 😱

What? Why?

Why is it attacking Jin Ling???

Omg Wen Ning is still there 😭😭😭

Oh Wen Ning

So much stronger than anyone gives him credit for

I'm crying you guys 🥺

Oh my god

Guys ...

That little moment right here!!!!

Of Wei Wuxian using demonic cultivation and obviously Lan Xichen is worried, but Lan Wangji tells him, with just a glance that it's okay and then with an other glance to wwx that he trusts him. And there's a nod and a little smile from both of them. No words needed. And I don't even know if lan Wangji knows what wwx is planning exactly, but it doesn't matter because he trusts him without question and wwx knows it and accepts it and ... guys

It's such a little moment but it's EVERYTHING

A little nod and a smile

"I know you. I trust you"

This is it guys

This is endgame and I'm so so glad I started this show :')

I wish you guys could see how wide my smile is right now 💙🖤

JIANG CHENG KEPT CHENQING!!! 😭

How?

How am I even supposed to begin to describe what that expression makes me feel? 🥺

Now we have the perspective of the stygian tiger amulet? 😳

Ooh, dies he want to reunite the sword and Mingjue?

Shit

Why DID su she want to kill Huaisang??

Well that went differently than expected

Guess he's dead 😬

I don't quite understand where baxia came from btw

I know it was missing but I dont remember where we last saw it 🙈

Sure it's a great idea to bury the amulet? Wouldn't destroying it be safer? It's not like no one ever desecrates graves in this world 😬

Favourite wangxian specific trope: lwj will always be there to catch :') wwx apart from that one time but we don't talk about that

"I'm dying!" Gotta love Nie Huaisang 😂

Even now, Lan Xichen show jgy kindness

I'm in awe of that man

Ohhhh!

The paper butterfly!

Does Sizhui remember?

Um

What did Huaisang just do there?

Was that ... a lightbulb?

The fuck????

The fuck?????

Tbe fuck?????

Sjoiiiiiiittyvgybsnnhk

Chkckvh

Huaisang...

What?

He wasn't there

WHST????

WHAT?

Did Huaisang just ... purposefully get Xichen to stab jgy????

Or was that camera angle a misdirection?

WHAT'S HAPPENING?

Also Lan Xichen JUST STAPED JGY ON ACCIDENT!

He probably just killed him on accident!!!

What t f happened to my ship!?!? 😭

@sweetlittlevampire @fandom-glazed @elenirlachlagos @allhailthedramallama @luckymoony @kyrrahbird @i-love-him-on-purpose

No time for pleasantries!!! I'm off to the next episode 😳����

Book1 Hope returns   Chapter 44  Strom warning  By Goldstonegolem64

On the Prometheus

Jay was in his room sitting at his work bench working on the prostatic leg for pidge. It was a simple task for him seeing as he made dozens of prostatic body parts in his classes. As he worked on it he heard something small moving. So he turned off the small generator that powered his welder lifted his welding mask and turned to see Molly standing there in her crib looking at him.she and Clay may have been alive for about for about four day now. But it was enough time for jay to figure out the personalizes of his two daughters. Molly was a bubbly ball of giggles an smiles. She also enjoyed playing with her brother. She liked Usamu the most do to his psychokinesis ability of making blocks float in the air as well as watching he brother fall to the ground from over use of his power. While Clay was a quiet an seemingly emotionless at times. But there were a few times that where she did show then mainly when she was being held by him and when she was playing with Fitz. They both also learned to say a few word like “Fuck” Molly said with a big smile on her face as she looked at her father not knowing what that word meant  

Jay cringed a little after hearing that and walked over to his daughter “ No molly you can’t say that .That is a bad word if Allura and the others hear you say that word. Daddy will be in big trouble “   Jay said as he picked up his daughter 

“ Fuck” Molly said still giggling 

“ Oh I wish you didn’t like saying that word  . “ Jay said remembering how he stubbed his toe last night before heading to bed not knowing his daughter were awake “ well at least you did learn the Q word “

“ Quiznak”Another little voice said

“ Noooo” jay said softly as he looked inside of the crib to see Clay still laying there awake and looking at him. “ Well hi there .” Jay said as he grabbed his other daughter  “ Now tell papa who taught you that word “

“Pigeon”Clay said as she rubbed her eyes a little before wrapping around her father’s neck  pulled herself closer and tried to fall back asleep

“Pigeon really “ Jay said in flabbergasted voice. Clay giggled a little as she drifting back to sleep  Jay wasn’t surprised by this he would tell the youngest paladin off when they landed on olkierion later. With his hands full he walked toward the door. As he left his room Beau’s voice came over the P.A system 

[ Captain we will be arriving on olkierion in a few minutes and you will be required in the cockpit]

“ I will be down shortly beau “ Jay said as he walked out of his room and down the stairs. As he moved down the stair he slowly changed his skin color a few times to show molly that she could to do it to . She had a look of wonderment on he face. She tried to copy this but the only thing that changed on her was her hair which when from a black to red then back to black.” That is so good Molly” Jay said happily. as he entered the living room

Then there was a sudden flash that caught jay off guard. Jay looked toward the source of the flash to see Fitz sitting on the couch with his phone in his hand sitting on the couch with Bastion and Usamu both watching a movie  

“ Hi Jay” Fitz said 

“ Hi Dad” Usmau said 

“ Hello father “ bastion said waving 

“ Hello boies how are you “

“ Were good “ Bastion said 

“ Did you three do the work i assigned you” Jay watched as Bastion and Fitz looked away while Usamu looked right at home an said

“ Yeah it was easy”

“ Good to hear. Bastion,  Fitz when this is over do your homework “

“ Ok “ Fitz said

“ Yes sir “ Bastion saids 

“ Alright now i’m need in the cockpit. So here watch your sisters for a bit  “ Jay  said as walked over to his to the couch and hand molly off to Usamu and then he slowly prid Clays hands off his neck and passed her off to Fitz. “ She’ll Wake up soon. “

“ Alright Jay” Fitz said as he took his little sister  and the moment he did Clay Wrapped herself around him

“ Thanks boys and stape yourselfs in were going to be entering the planet's  atmosphere “ Jay said as he walked to the cockpit 

“ On it “ Bastion said as he and his siblings sat on the couch and held onto each other 

Jay walked over into the cockpit to find Ace, La-sai and N-7 Sitting in the cockpit

“ Hi Jay hows little green new foot coming along “ Ace asked from the co-pilot's seat. 

“ It’s coming along great only stopped when the twins wake up.” Jay replied as he took the pilot's seat 

“ Good to hear Jay “ pidge said over the ship comms

“Oh Hey Pigeon i’ve got a bone to pick with you about Clays new favorite word” Jay said with a little bet of anger in his voice

“ Oh She said sorry i was trying to walk without the use of my crane and i fell “

“ It’s alright pidge just don’t do it again front of the girl”

“I’ll try”

“ That's all I can ask “ jay said as the ship started to shake a little as the entered the planets  atmosphere. As the three ship flow closer to the city they noticed three red colored galra  Warships docked near the city. Then the main cannons of two of the ships started to move and aim towards them

“  Were being locked onto to” Ace said 

“ Open a comm signal with the three ships. Pidge try to get Ryner on the line”  Jay said but before anything could happen the cannons lowered “ Uh what just happened “

“ I just told them not to fire on us seeing as we have worked with them before”  Val said over the comms Also we will be landing near the master of none” 

“Ok “ La-sai said worried a little “ Jay do you know this guys?” 

“ YEs there called the Queen slayers. I’m friends with there boss and i’m dating the head of their sciences division.”   Jay said as his cheek marks started to glow. He slowl turned the ship and followed where val was going followed by the green lion  

After a few minutes of flying the Prometheus, Green lion and the Valkyrie touched down near what looked like a small base camp full of Slayers and Olkier talking and trading things with each other. 

“ Alright gang you find and fill her in on the plan. While I take to Isara to see why she’s here “ Jay said as his teammates leaves while he was still sitting while setting up the long distant comms” Pidge can you set up the disk ?”

“On it” Pidge said as the green lion stood up on all four followed by a bright light after a few seconds of a huge satellite disk appeared on the green lions. 

“Thanks pidge” Jay said as he connected the Prometheus to the green lion. 

“ Your welcome and I'm starting the encrypt process ” Pidge said

“ now contacting to the Castle of lions.” After a few second a green light appeared “ Allura ,Coran can you hear me ?” JAy asked as he spoke into the mike he waited for a few seconds 

“ We hear you loud and clear Jay” Coran said 

“ Good to know. We’ve made it to are destination and we have also run into an Allies don’t know why they’re here. But i’ m happy to see them.”

“ Who is it?” Allura asked 

“Can’t said just in case someone is smarter the Pidge “

“Fat chances anyone can get passed by encryption codes “Pidge interrupted 

“  Ok Green bean you can quit  patting yourself on the back. Back to you Allura lets just say it you’ll be happy to see them again “ Jay said

“ All Just keep us posted on anything that happens there ok”  Allura said

“ Can do boss and see you when you get here “ Jay said  as he turned off the comms “ Beau stay put and keep  the comms on just incase something happens to the others ok”

“ Yes Captain “ Beau said 

“ Alright then” Jay then got up from his seat any but as he did he heard a scream coming from the Cargo hold. Jay booked to the cargo hold and saw Isara holding Molly up as well as her husband Boleslaw Taking to Usamu  gave him a  something he could tell 

“ Oh my goddess Who are you little lady “ Isara said smile while Molly was giggling madly 

“ Hi Isara, Boleslaw It’ s been a while” Jay said some what confused.

“ Hello Boy “ 

“ Hi Jay Oh tell where did you find this two little cuties?” Isara asked as she held Molly

“ Kitty” Molly said with a smile on her face as she hugged Isara 

“ I found them both in a flower pot about four days ago in my room.”

“While “ Isara looked at Molly and Clay and saw that they had small red marks on their cheeks “ Wait their you kids how?”

“ Altean Bullshit science I will explain it more later  . Now  My turn to ask a Question. One How did you find this place. Two Is Ezra here  And three Boleslaw what did you just give my boy?” Jay asked mainly wanting the answer for the last two. 

Boleslaw spoke first” It is a neckless made from the horns of the Red king this young man killed.” Boleslaw said as Usamu showed of the neckless. The neckless was made up of multiply colored beads and between each third bead was one of the three horns of the red king 

“ I like it” Usamu said 

“ Good to know “ Jay replied 

“ To answer the first question The master of none ran it to some spores floating though space and i’ m guessing you know the rest seeing as you came to the world before from what Ryner has said and the reason were all here is because we want to upgrade some of are equipment and may be recruit some new members. As for Ezra they have been roaming the city the [past three day now just losing it over finding a place like this it found to watch her just run from the city to the forest village. Now why are you here Jay “

“ Were here to ask Ryner if she and he people could help us in are plan to Attack the Galra command center by building a huge wormhole making ring ands seeing as your here do you want to join us in this attack.”

Both Isara and Boleslaw looked at each other” What is the plan how big is the attacking force and how long till the attack takes place?”Isara asked  

“ The Attack will be in a few days. I don’t know the number of ships that will be their and plan is” Jay began to explain what the plan was them

A few hundred miles away from the planet two imperial Carriers and a warship  exited warp speed In the war ship Root rot starred at the planet he was going to conquer for Lady Haggar.

“ Why did we exit Wrap speed so far from the planet Sir ?” A Young Galra officer  asked 

“ Well young one  we are just out of rang from the planets scanners. I don’ t wish to tip off the enemy to are arrival now ready the Coffins”  Root Rot said with a wicked smile.

“ Yes sir but my I ask why did we bring those six” the young officer asked sacred of the answers  

“ Ah I miss the day were the young weren’t afraid asked the old question. It reminds me of home. To answer your question young one I out of the hundreds of monsters or as the paladins called them robeasts made before Voltron reappeared along with the Valkyrie. This six stood out to me seeing as they are the strongest but they show a level of intelligent that the others didn’t show so I picked them up and I plan on using them here to test out the defensive  and they will be a good distraction for me and my men can get onto the planet undetected” 

“Ok but how will you handle them if they survive the destroying the enemy”

“ Simple they will be in  weakened state an me and my men will recapture them and if Voltron or the Valkyrie are there then have six disposable beast at my disposal will be useful.” Root rot said as he watched as the coffins moved towards the planet 

“Sir there seem to be a storm moving towards the city ” Another bridge officers said 

“ Good it will be a great battle then” Rot root said as he walked towards the doorway.” maintain are current position If I don’t return turn my late known location and turn it to ash and dust .” 

“Yes sir “ The bridge crew said 

Back on Olkier Pidge was walking along a forest path near the city With Rover at her side. The upgrade that La-Sai had given him were meant to help pidge with working on projects she was working on by using a small tractor beam to lift up items. But now she had him  use it to pick herself up or stop herself from falling over when she lost her balance. But she was get better at walking with a prostatic leg but she still need her cane just to help he keep her balances. 

She was trying to find her Ryner and from what the other Olkier told her she was last seen walking towards the woods. She wondered if the others already found her and were already telling her about the plan. But that was ok by her she just wanted to get out  of the green lion and moved around. She still didn’t like being out in nature all that much but it did help her clear her mind. As she moved along the path she could hear people talking. She started  to move forward just a little bit faster towards the voice stubbing a little as she moved.. After a few more minutes of walking down the path she saw Ace and Ryner with there backs turned  and walking away from her.

“ Hey guys wait for me “

Pidge aloud as she tried to catch up with her friend 

Both ace and Ryner turn to see the green paladin. Ace smile when she pidge. But Ryner had a look of worry on her face as she looked at the cane in pidges hand

“ Hey pidge good to see you to out and about” Ace said

“ Thanks Ace. Uh Ryner are you ok ?” Pidge asked 

“ Yes but what happened to you and why do you need a cane. I though the castle of lions healing bay could heal any injury”  Ryner said 

Pidge felt a little nervous “ Well it cant regrow legs ”

Ryner looked horrified “ What happened “

“ I got in over my head trying to help jay”

“ Explain more please “  Ryner asked 

Pidge felt fear creep up her back just thinking about that day.  She then looked to ace for help 

Ace took notice “ We got a distress call from a nearby rebel base. They were attacked by three of Zarkon’s I don’t know Special ops unit or something pidge and jay got separated from us and meet a something or someone to be honest I don’t know if we should keep talking about it seeing  as Both her and Jay were knocking on deaths door after that. ” Ace said 

Ryner bit her lower lip before talking again “ Alright I will not press you too on it. “

“ Thank you “ Pidge said 

“Your welcome now Ace can you show me the Teludavs Ring please  ?”Ryner asked 

“ Alright “ Ace said as she pulled out a small device that showed of the ring and the Schematics of it.

“ Alright seeing as your team is doing the hard part. “  Ryner when quiet for a few seconds to calculate and started talking to herself” With Fifteen percent of are people working on upgrading The queen slayers equipment and thirty % working on Better are planets defenses. Then ten percent  working on no wait they finish working on that. I will tell him myself when I see he. “It will take   She then returned to talking to Ace “ It will take us ten day to finish if we start tonight“ Ryner said 

“ Ok then will inform Allura about this and thank you for your help Ryner. Now Pidge your up” Ace said as the started walking back to the Prometheus

Ryner look towards pidge”  What is it you want to ask me Pidge” Ryner asked 

“ Well After running into Several Galra made copies of the Valkyrie and the special op unit also having robeasts of there own. I though that we could maybe use  those cubes that were used against us when came here “ Pidge said

“ Great minds think alike uh pidge. Well after you left we trailed Lubos for what he had done  that despite his betrayal he was right about one thing We need to work on are planet’s defense. So we lessened his sentence and had him work on reprograming on the weapons he helped designed as well as make more of them but a lot  smaller then the first one. So we can help you  this that will just need to be there to control the cubes”

“ Thanks Ryner “ Pidge said 

“ Your welcome now lets get you an new leg” Ryner said as she walked back to the City with pidge

Elsewhere 

Jay was walking around the city to  where the stuff he commissioned was or and to find where Ezra was. He also wasn’t alone doing this Fitz was walking beside him.

“ So why did you decide to follow me out here bud?’ Jay asked 

“ Well I wanted to see something besides the inside of the castle and the Prometheus and I feel a bit uneasy about Isara. I know she is a friend of your it’s just after everything that happened back on the balmera I just don’t feel safe around her  if you get what I'm saying” Fitz said as the skin of his arms started to change from flesh to a jade like gem stone

{ I forgot he could do that  } Jay thought  to himself.”  I get it after years of being enslaved and the death of your father. I can see why your a little scared  of being around her. But once this war is over and we got back to my home world your going to be round a lot of Galra pure bloods and half bloods like Keith.”  

“ I know but still it will just take time “ Fitz said tapping his two fingers together 

“ Is there anything Else you wanted to talk about Fitz “ Jay asked feeling that something was a little off 

Fitz tapped his fingers “ Uh Mmm” Fitz try to find the right words to say “Am I not a good son?” Fitz asked

Jay was taken aback by what Fitz said “  What no your a good kid why would you think other wise”

“ Well after a week of us living to together Usamu and Bastion showed up and a few day later Molly and Clay appeared and they took up most of your time”  Fitz rubbed the back of his head 

Jay exhaled and ran both his hands through his hair”  Ok I know this was coming and I really hoped it didn’t. Ok first Clay was plan I planet her a month before any of this happened so I had  a plan for her. Then I meet Adam an then everything when on a roller coater of Quzinaking event that completely  just blind side me. Then I meet you and I saw  what happened to your father and I though hey this kid is going to need someone to watch over him. Should I have run passes Allura first yes. Should I have read the part in the parents guild for dummies about preteens also yes. Should I have adopted two more kids no . But I do regret it No because I love all of you and you give me a reason to get out of bed in the morning because you guy knock on my door if you walk up before me”   Jay watched Fitz laugh a little about that last bit. Jay then crouched down and placed both hands on Fitz Shoulder ” Look Fitz I get it one day your alone then the next day you have two new brother then a week later to infant girl show up . But here's one thing you have that the others don’t”

“ What is that ?” Fitz asked 

“ Your my number one and that means when I'm off saving the universe your in charge of watching over your siblings and you haven’t let me down yet bud” Jay said with a smile on his face as he pulled his son into a hug “  Dose that answer your Question bud?’ 

“Yeah it dose thanks Dad” Fitz replied. 

“Alright then “ Jay broke the hug “ now lets go find us some cool ass weapons for Val and /or find my part-” Jay was cut off  as someone warping their arms around his waist and lifted him up, As he was lifted into the air he felt two things some what pointing into his back. Then came the voice 

“First we find this place now your here Can it get any better “ Ezra said as they held the boyfriend in the air

“ Put me down and you’ll f’ind out” Jay said with a sly smile on his face  

“ Oh ok “ Ezra replied as they put jay down .Jay turned around and looked down to see Ezra’s orange eyes looking up to him. “ Now show me what could possible make to day better?” Ezra said 

‘ ok love get a look at this “ Jay said as what at first what looked like a belt in wrapped it's self. from jay’s waist and revealed it’s self to be a long thin red tail that that split into to different tails each one ended with a shape bone white bladed. It slowly swung side to side just hovering off the floor

Ezra’s eye widend as they saw the tail” When how may I touch it?” 

“ go a head but just before you can you take a look at what my boy can do” Jay said as he brought Fitz to the front 

“ Hi Ezra” Fits said as he waved his still Crystalized hand

“ Oh Hello Fitz. “  Ezra said as they walked over to Fitz “ May I “ They gestured towards the Crystalized hands 

“ Ok “ Fitz said  as they brought both hands up towards Ezra”

Ezra look at the crystalized hands. She notice Small cracks in the crystalized matter that covered the boys arms. They looked like scars” I’m guessing wasn’t natural?” Ezra asked 

“No” Fitz replied

“ Do you remember how you got this power and these scars. “ 

“ Yes no its all fuzzy to me. All I can remember was begin taken to a room and being told you won’t fell a thing” Fitz replied

“Ok next question How much of your body can change into this crystal. “ Ezra asked 

“ Just my arms “ 

“ Ok dose it hurt to do it” 

“No my arm just gets really soar if I keep it up for to long “

“ Alright Is there anything else this can do this ability of yours” 

“’ I can punch things and break them with out feeling any pain.” 

“ Yeah that's true “ Jay said as he remembered watching Fitz punching one of the destroyed sentry

“ Alright “ Ezra said as the looked back to Jay “ You seem to have a habit of picking up kids with weird abilities 

" Well Bastion is normal "

" That boy was able to protect a super power psychic seven years old in a infested city at the ago of nine he has something you just don't know it yet. " Erza said

" ok you got me there" jay replied

" And molly and clay are rapidly growing and mature " Fitz chimed in

"Wait who are Molly and Clay?” Ezra asked 

“ There my Little sisters” Fitz replied 

“ Oh so you’ve picked up two more Jay” 

“ Well yes and no I didn’t pick them up. I made them ?”  Jay questioned if that was the right thing to say 

“Wait you made them how show me. “ Ezra said as they grabbed onto Jays hand and booked back toward where they saw Jay and Fitz coming from. then stopped “  Uh where did you pack?” They asked 

‘ Wait didn’t you see us flying” 

“ No I was talking to some of the people working on one of the huge cube things “ Ezra replied 

“  We packed where you guys packed ok” Jay said 

“ Ok “ Ezra said as they still holding onto Jays hand ran towards where they parked. With Fitz running behind them 

“ But Jay what about the stuff you commissioned “

“ It can wait we have a few days until the quota on quota final battle and if you look up you can see its going to rain.” Jay said as he pointed to the sky. Fitz looked up to see gray clouds slowly over taking the sky followed by the sound of rumbling

“ Ok“ Fitz said as he double his speed as water slowly started to fall

A few minutes late in the Prometheus the rain was coming down hard and the sound of thunder crashed in the distends.

Jay was sitting on the couch talking to Ezra, Pidge, Isara  and Ryner about how the process of how gain seeds works. Bastion, Fitz, Usamu and Clay were watching the rain fall

“ So I take a drop of blood and boom you have a baby in six to eight weeks” Ezra said as they wrote done everything they just heard 

“yeah that's about it “Jay said as he held onto Molly as they slept

“ And why do you have something so expensive “ Pidge asked

“ My father’s side of the family are famous botanist and genetic scientists . I think my great great grandfather the only person my dad stays in contact with made them and gave a shit ton of the seed to him when my father decide to leave the family. He has a license to sell them and when I moved out I took some with me just in case my at the time boyfriend Remus decide to take the next step. But then that fell flat when that son of a bitch cheated on me with Zora Monk. then he try to take me to court and take half my stuff but jokes on him he never signed any papers. He left all of that to me. Sorry I’m rambling “ Jay said 

“ No it’s fine’ “ Ryner said 

“ Yeah kid your just tell use the detail we need to know. So why did you have this two anyway” ”  Isara asked

“ Tax deduction “ Jay said with out missing a bet. Everyone looked stunned at him .“ What it was a choose  made by a heart broken and near broke twenty four year old. Maybe I should have talked to my old man before making the choose. But hey because I made that choose I now have two daughters and three sons to take care of while traveling the universe. “ Jay said while a warm smile on his face  as he look at his sleeping daughter 

“ Well at least your happy “Ezra said smiling as the kissed jay on the cheek then returned to studying the seeds jay gave them  

“ Well I've head worst reasons to have a kid “ Isara said  as she looked over her shoulder to watch the other four kids.

‘Well as long as you don’t regret it “ Ryner said 

“ There are a lot of thing I regret. These five are not one of them.”   Jay replied as he did he felt a slight tugging at the back of his mind .” Yeah Val what's up” jay asked 

“ I just wanted to update you on the progress of contacting Vanguard” 

“ How's it going ?” Jay asked as he leaned against Ezra 

“ poorly it can’t seem to get the right freque-”  Val when quiet suddenly and Jay felt a surge of anger and fear 

“ Val what’s wrong?”

“ Something just broke the planet’s atmosphere.”  

“What”  Jay sat up suddenly 

“ What’s wrong” Ezra asked worried by the sudden movement 

“ Yeah kid what’s up “Isara asked 

“Something just broke atmosphere “Jay said

“ What is it ?” Pidge Asked now worried 

‘Don’t know give me a second “ Jay said as he closed his eye and saw through Val’s eyes “ What are we looking at Val ?” Jay asked as Val looked toward the falling object. Then fear gripped Jay as he saw six Robeast Coffins falling towards a nearby mountain rang  north of the city “  Six Coffins just broke  atmosphere ‘  Jay said as he opened his eyes looked at the other in the room 

Pidge had fear plaster on her face. While the others in the room looked on confused

“ What's a coffin “Ezra asked 

“ It’s going to take to long to explain. Just get ready for a fight  “ Pidge said as she got to he feet and moved quickly to the cockpit to call the other 

Without missing a beat Isara got up reached into her pocket and grabbed onto something that was followed by the sound of sirens going off .and the sound of people started to running around outside could be heard 

Ryner walked up to Jay “i’ll take care of the little ones while you head out “ 

“Thank you” Jay replied  as he handed off Molly to Ryner. Jay then turn to see his other kids moving away from the door. Jay quickly grabbed the salvager helmet and booked it towards the open Cargo bay door. As he did he passed by his  the other four kid still sitting their watching Slayer members scrambled into smaller mechs and  to fuel fighter and gunship

Fitz holding onto a confused looking Clay looked up to Jay and said “ Good luck and don’t die”

“ Stay safe out there.” Bastion said 

“ kick it in face” Usamu said 

“I’ll try “Jay said as he moved towards the Valkyrie 

“bye bye “ Clay said as she waved at her father 

Ja felt his heart melt a little as he put the helmet on an waved back.” Bye “ Jay replied as he entered the Valkyrie's mouth. As he sat down in the pilots seat he felt his phone ring and saw a text from Ezra [Stay safe out there ] Jay smiled as he saw that. He then grabbed onto the control sticks.He felt the engine’s roar to life.

The Valkyrie took to the sky and once they were far enough away from  the city the rocket forwards to the mountain rang where the coffins had landed. As he got there he found himself in front of a destroy mountain with a coffin smashed into it . Jay could see the dust cloud of where the other fie coffins landed.He Changed the Valkyrie into her combat mode and ready himself for what ever came out of the coffin as it slowly open

Dear diary

Warning: Graphic pain descriptions, emotional pain, Verona wanting to bite Deciet’s head off lemme know if there’s more.

It’s getting worse.....it’s not eenn dull anyomre-it’s a sharp staping in my heart...soory it’s really hard to write though taers

Slowly, she draws her hands over her heart-where it should be through her shirt. Clawing and scrapping at the blue fabric while her body slowly curled up in her chair.

Her legs crossed each other, tensely locking the ankles just to put more pressure-find some kind of relief from the searing burn in her chest. Her nose burned and her throat closed up as salty tears stung her eyes-the salt and pain forcing them shut.

Somewhere behind the pain was her conscious telling her ‘get up. get up-get up, get help-‘

Once the muscles in her legs began to cramp is when she listened to herself-well tried to. On top of the searing, stabbing newly clawing pain in her heart, came the soreness of her throat as her body ran out of water to sustain crying anymore.

The tiny noises that did escape her were either tiny, tearless sobs, or small mumblings of words. Until the small scream that came when she dropped, her legs gave out under her pain. Her body was quickly succumbed to the pain-and even her consciousness crumbled at some point.

And even as she lay unconscious her hands still clutched at her heart-her legs still tense, her body forced into a defensive fetal-ish position.

She didn’t hear the scream,the chaos. Not the scream Juliet let out, one that ripped through the mindscape like it was paper. Not the painfilled, cracking “mom!” That came with Verona rushing to her side. Not the animalistic growl that same girl let out when Deceit and Romulus came to close for her liking.

She didn’t hear the silence either. The silence of Juliet standing in the doorway, then bracing herself against the wall as her legs wanted to give out. Too afraid to even speak to, let alone argue with her sister. Not the silence of Lila walking in and kneeling on her other side. Not the silence of Deceit taking her gloves off before trying to touch her-only to be glared at by a glowing eyed Verona.

And lastly she didn’t feel. Didn’t feel her glasses being gently plucked off her nose, didn’t feel the hands gently cupping her face, nor the cradling position Juliet pulled into with whole body shaking.

Actually that last one isn’t fully true because she did feel somethings. Like the gnawing terror in Verona’s voice, the shaking panic of Juliet’s arms, the well hidden horror in Lila’s hands in the slightest brush when she slide her glasses off.

The only truely calm presence in the room was that of deceit which would’ve-had she been conscious on some level- unnerved Penelope.

Though a lot of what Deceit’s presence did was offset by the lie that stood next to her. Romulus-cold as indifferent as she seemed hanging her head at a distance-wracking her mind for something to do. Anything to leave, or get her back up because the silence makes her head spin.

“This is our fault-”

“Shut up Delia”

“Let her talk Verona.” Lila demanded, the only time she’d talked in this hour and a half silence

“Why should I? She’ll just lie again. All she does is lie.”

“I promise you I am responsible for much more then lies.” The pain and annoyance in Deceit’s voice was evident but by Verona? Ignored.

“Anyway. All of us were so engrossed in our work that we stopped interacting nearly as much. Which Penelope-being the heart- caused her suffereing. No she never wavered from her habits as the heart and morality-“

“That doesn’t mean she wasn’t hurting from the neglect.” Lila sighed.

Verona used her hair as a shield like normal, the protective glow in her eyes dying in place of guilt.

Juliet rolled Penelope’s body in closer so she could whisper ‘I’m sorry’s’ into her hair.

A weak hand grabbed onto her arm, “you’re forgiven...” it was weak and very soft- the amount of pure unfiltered joy that flooded every being in the room was completely overwhelming.

Dabi x reader

prank goes wrong

First attempt what could possibly go wrong? (nervous laugh)

Datting someone like Dabi was indeed interesting, you two would always make something mischievous around, even if that mean against each other... Just for the fact that you were a civilian didn't mean that you weren't a pain in the ass sometimes. But he was so much more.

Dabi would always make sure he won the last word of a argument or even if you try it joking around with him and sadly ever time you always ended in the same situation as yesterday, pouting on the couch and thinking about something new... With no results.

But then you heard from a friend that she pranked their fiance on telling them that they were falling apart and that the wedding could be not solve it, well she at least said they were together and was laughing her ass of along with her partner, then the briliant idea of pranking your boyfriend saying that you wanted to break up was something glorius on your mind.

You knew it about your boyfriend's goals in the league of villains, you knew his life but you could care less, he is dabi to you, not the horrible villain that they always says on the TV, and you thought that him already knew not only for being together for almost than two years but only because about the fact that the little shit he is.

First you decided to gave him a heart attack which means you send a messade with this exactly same words:

- Dabi can you come over here tonight? We need to talk and is important...

It didn't take too much for him to responded with a monotonous ''sure be in a minute'', so as you were preparing on what to say to dabi about your ''break up'' you were hidding your phone to start recording his reaction, you knew he was going to kill you for that but at least will be worth it... Poor you.

Suddenly you hear the front door of your shared apartment open as you play the recording button on your cellphone and jumped to the couch ''preparing yourself''. Dabi soon spoted you on the room and give you a smirk coming his way to you on the couch. As he tried to wrap his arms you shoved yourself away from, he made a expression to you as if he was questioning you for that but as soon as you gave a deadpan face to him he imedialy soften his gaze. After this he simply asked with a hand on your thigh:

''So, what's up? You in trouble again or something?'' he tried to make the thing a bit less tense by his sarcastic tone and you almost laugh at that but no, you weren't gonna give up now.

''Dabi...'' you starded ''The last years that we' ve been together it was something great and amazing but...'' you spy your boyfriend by the corner of your eye and saw Dabi with intringuing eyes looking at you

''But?''

You fake it a sigh ''With how busy you've been with the league you rarely went back home, gosh today even was miracle... All of this is driving me crazy and I'm starting to even think that you don't love me anymore and...'' you take a big breath to contain your laugh and say the words ''I think it would be best if we break up...''

Suddenly the calm expression on Dabi's face disappeared and was soon substitued with eyes wide open and a bit of wory and fear on his face, you were actually a little bit of shocked when you saw it.

''... What?'' he breathless asks

''You... Heard me. '' you tried to contain your laugh but soon all the funny situacion disappeared when you saw your boyfriend start to shake a little.

''(Y/N)... '' he said as he grapped your hips and pulled you in a tight embrace like as he didn't wanted to let go, he didn't wanted to let go. ''Please... D-don't do this, look I know that I'm a huge asshole all the time I know I fuck up almost on everthing but for dear' s sake don't do this... '' you feel Dabi's tears on your neck as he burried his face on it. ''Please... You told me you would always listen to me so please do now I love you so fucking much (Y/N) please don't... Do this... Don' t leave me..! '' he almost shouted in despair as his grip tighen a little more.

''Babe it's a prank'' you said as you pulled him away a little just to see his face, you giggled a little as you wipe one of the tears on his face as he locked at you with still sadness in his eyes.

''Look over there, Dabi I won't break up with you not now not ever'' you said pointing to the hidden cellphone but as you turned your head back you saw that Dabi didn't stop crying. You regreted your prank righ there.

''Dabi you' re actually crying? Oh god babe I'm so--'' before you could wipe the tears away and say ''sorry'' Dabi wrapped his arms around so tight that you thought that you weren't going to breath and burried his face on your shoulder as he started to sob and whine.

After sometime reasuring him that you still loved him, that you weren't going to break up with him for real and whispering sweet little things to him, you both laid down on the couch with his head rested on your chest as you played with his spiky black hair which you knew it always calmed him down.

You felt horrible, you saw Dabi cry very rarely, like once in a lifetime, but not in the way you saw it in hours ago, knowing the person Dabi is he wouldn't cry easily and you know it, hell you were the more sensible one in this relationship and you admited you didn't expect Dabi to cry with this. Especially the way he cried, he was freaking begging you to not do this and he seemed desesperate... You look down to find him sniffing a little as he hugged you

''Dabi I'm so sorry...'' you said with little tears on your eyes as well, you scrub his hair a bit. ''I didn't know you were going to react like that, I promised, no more pranks on you okay? Its okay Im here...'' you kissed him on the crow of his head, he then looked at you with red, puffy eyes... You felt like Toga staped you in the heart.

''How the hell you thought I was gone to react with the fucking love of my life break up with out of nowhere?'' he said with anger and sadness as he looked at you, but still hugging you so close.

Before you could anysher he starded again:

''You're the most important person on my goddamn life, I don't want to lose you, even knowing that you could do way better, but I just can't imagine my life without you dammit... ''

You felt a wave of tears coming up as you heard his words. You kissed him on the crow of his head, then after his nose, both of his eyes and cheeks felling the salty of some tears that stayed there...

''I promised you, I will never do that ever again, I am the one who doesn't deserve you after the heart attack I made you go through'' you say as you nuzzled your nose with his.

''True''

''HEY!'' he started to chuckle a little, and the little shit was back...

He pulled himself up to lay his head next to yours but never let go of his arms from you.

''I gotta admit that was a good ass prank but never do this again I dont want to waste all the liquid from my body'' he said as he rubbed his left eye to assure that wasn't anymore tears...

''I won't, promise... but Im glad''

''For what? Seing me cry you freaking villain? I should kill or recruit you for that'' he said as he ticled you on yours sides, after catching your breath and hugged him back with your head resting on his chest you say it...

''No, for knowing that you love me so much. '' you could feel his heartbeat going a little fast but you didn't coment...

''I love you too (Y/N)...'' as you were starting to drive to sleep he whisper something ''... But don't expect getting out with nothing you fucking brat'' you gulped.

Domotex Highlights: Rugs for the Home

A few weeks ago I traveled to Hannover for the Domotex fair. The Domotex fair is focused on flooring and rugs and quite frankly I was not sure what I am going to see there. However, I knew it is going to be a fun event as I was traveling with seven fellow bloggers and friends, all united by Holly of Decor8. So I knew it is going to be fun at least. But hey was I surprised – the fair turned out to be very inspiring! Actually no wonder as I am a rug person myself. From traditional flatweaves from India, over colourful kilims from Turkey to contemporary rug designs from Germany and Austria – everything was exhibited and sparked a good deal of inspiration. Let me show you!

Mariantonia Urru – Mediterranean design from Sardinia, Italy One of my big discoveries was the Italian rug brand Mariantonia Urru. This brand comes from the sunny island of Sardinia and its designs are inspired by ancient and traditional motives of the island’s folkore, mostly taken from its Mediterranean culture. Fish motives, traditional patterns, and a unique way of knotting are absoulte highlights! Moreover, the folks at Mariantonia Urru give a contemporary spin to the traditional motives and craftsmanship resulting in great designs for modern homes. I particularly loved the poufs with the fish symbols in their warm ochre and blue hues.

Tisca – from Austria with love Now here’s a fact I am almost ashamed of: Before Domotex I have not heard of Tisca! And the crazy thing is this rug company is based in western Austria, actually in the province where I was born and where I grew up. Shame on me! Tisca had a strong presence at the Domotex fair thanks to its beautiful rugs and the fantastic styling work of Lotta Agaton and Pella Hedeby. Both ladies went on an inspiration quest to Transylvania in Romania where the rugs are handmade. Inspired by the craftsmanship, the tools, and the nature they brought in a fantastic set of props to match the natural hues of the soft Tisca rugs. The result was a clean, contemporary styling that appealed to many fair visitors. Not to mention to us interior bloggers!

Bazar du Sud – the traveling rug souk I love everything about kilims and Moroccan rugs, whether we talk about Boucherouite, Beni Ourain, flatweaves and other Berber rugs. Bazar du Sud came all the way from Marrakech to Hannover and they brought an entire rug souk with them. Piles and piles of rugs, colourful stapes, shaggy Boucherouites, black and white Beni Ourain rugs, kilims galore – the sight was a feast to my eyes. If I had the opportunity, I would have shopped a few rugs for sure. No idea where I would have put them, but how to resist? It was like a candy store for kids! Just the interior version. Check them out if you like oriental rugs.

Edelgrund – the rug dealer from Hamburg When you think of colourful kilims you might not have Hamburg in mind. Well, not necessarily, but Edelgrund is a fantastic counter proof. Based in the north German city of Hamburg, Edelgrund offers a wide range of beautiful and colourful kilims that blend traditional patterns and modern designs. They are known for their vast variety of unique rugs. Look at the piles of flatweaves – I mean who can resist!? Definitely a brand to watch!

I hope you enjoyed this tiny little tour of my favorite rug discoveries from this year’s Domotex fair. As you can see all the photos are iPhone pics but I hope you don’t mind the quality. Thanks again to Holly of Decor8 for organizing this great tour and also a virtual wave to my other blogger friends who joined: Niki of My Scandinavian Home, Agata of Passion Shake, Mette of Monsterscircus, Desirée of Vosgesparis and Stefan aka Trendstefan.

The tour was sponsored by the Domotex fair. As always all opinions and photos are my own. Thank you for supporting the brands who support this blog!

sorry i know you're not in your hamlet era rn (still love lsb and lockwood & co!!!) but also i've been having thoughts abt female laertes!! she's an older sister who cautions her younger sister but can't protect her the way she wants to. she leaves as soon as possible to avoid the judgement of her father, for whom she is not enough. he treats her like the placeholder of the son he wanted when he got her. her desperation to retain her family's status and power when her father dies, as her sister goes mad, because she can't protect them alone. she accepts the poisoned foil in the midst of her doubts of her own strength. she dies alone, both she and hamlet acting as foils in their defiance of gender roles: she too hasty and reckless for a woman, he too melancholy and indecisive for a man.

this is it. this is my hamlet era origin story.

aside from the mind-blowingly brilliant bit about foils, i also love how this concept plays into laertes returning to avenge polonius' death. as you say it would be natural for female!laertes to want to escape her father's expectations and judgement. in making the choice to return to denmark when polonius is killed, she takes the role her father imposed on her upon herself, voluntarily, just when it seems she should finally be freed from it. is she trying to prove something to herself? to polonius? does she feel like she failed him and is trying to make amends, or does she feel like the loss of her father somehow empowers her to step up and take on the headship of the family in the way that she herself chooses? does it end up conforming to what he imposed on her in the end? how does this conflict mirror hamlet and his father?

after scouring just about all the laertes lines ever, i found: "nature her custom holds, let shame say what it will. when these are gone, the woman will be out." act 4 scene 7, upon learning of ophelia's death. i'm still thinking really hard about the implications of shame and nature in the context of female!laertes. maybe she's always been made to feel ashamed that she can't be the "real son" her father wanted. and what is laertes' nature — what she is as a woman, what she's expected to be as a replacement son, or some sort of mix of the two that she takes upon herself as her chosen identity? the woman will out has such interesting layers of meaning here, especially now that she's lost her sister, who might serve as an anchor to laertes' own womanhood.

(ps. i love l&co. with my whole heart! unfortunately i can't figure out what lsb stands for lol. i probably love it too, my memory is just... not serving rn.)

i'm seeing much ado about nothing this weekend, and you seem to be the expert (or at least biggest fan) on the play!! anything i should know going into it for a first-time viewer?

anon, if this is my reputation, then my work here is done. thanks ever so for the chance to go on about much ado, the only problem now is getting me to shut up.

like many Shakey plays, much ado relies on no small amount of trickery to drive its plot. because of this, if you haven’t already, i’d suggest skimming through a synopsis. the underhand plotting is done in full view of the audience of course, but in some performance venues (like the Globe), acoustics can make it challenging to catch details.

watch the non-verbals. much ado is a very physical comedy. for Benedick and Beatrice, you’ll find that a surprising chunk of their character arcs might come through to the audience in facial expressions, posture, blocking, etc.. since their witticisms rarely say what they mean, body language can hold clues. but all this should also be made obvious from line delivery, even if you can’t see the actors very clearly.

the choice of setting is worth noting. usually, each production of much ado is set in its time period for very deliberate reasons. common ones include how the setting emphasises class and gender divides, or enforces social norms like chastity (for obvious reasons, considering Hero’s fate).

spot the dirty jokes! as most much ado fans will agree, this play is pretty much one cheeky wisecrack after another. sometimes they’re purely for good old-fashioned fun, other times they are also symptomatic of recurring themes like gender roles, patriarchal norms, etc.

of course there’s a lot more than what i could think of. over different productions, you might see how modifying how a line is said, who it’s said to, or changing the genders of characters affects the dynamics of the play. but you can always get into that later if you want — for a first time, have a good laugh, and try not to jump up on stage and box Claudio’s ears at the end. enjoy! x

Ok so. I already typed up the entire thing and then I closed it accidentally and everything was gone and now I'm retyping it. So. Prepare for a ride.

NT-Version:

Lovely, I liked it a lot, but bc I watched the Globe version a day before, I now feel like I can't appreciate the NT production as much as it should be.

What I liked and what tipped the scale in favour of NT (bc i really liked it better than Globe maan):

Benedick's and Beatrice's relationship. They felt more real to me - I could believe that they were in love (the Globe one... yea.. nah).

They were also incredibly human, which was lovely to see. I liked both actors. Benedick's journey was great to watch and seeing Beatrice be vulnerable was touching, too.

Also, the scene where Benedick was eavesdropping to Don Pedro and co. was hilarious - I think the entire theatre was howling with laughter. (Ice cream (cones) play an important part, that much I'll say)

There were also many little details sprinkled in which where nice to discover.

I also enjoyed Hero's characterisation; she was more confident than I'd ever seen her.

But the person I remember most is Margret, which was a surprise to me. She was funny and sweet and her journey was so so great to watch - from first flirts to the night spent in hero's bedchamber to her being all witty was - dare I say it - a revelation of sorts. I had never seen her played quite like that before (and with such compassion for her character, too!). I feel like by watching this performance some things fell into place for me regarding her.

Memorable scenes I remember are eg the bath scene with Benedick and the parties (lush colours, bright costumes! Feathers! Swing&Jazz!!!).

I'd totally recommend watching it! I'll def rewatch it when it comes out on the nt at home website.

Also, I want to get some things off my chest regarding the 2022 Globe production:

I didn't like Beatrice&Benedick which is. Difficult to achieve to say the least. Also they were kinda forgettable (as were Claudio and Hero). Well, except for this one scene where Benedick said 'I can't get out of the plant pot', which lives in my head rent-free.

Don Pedro was a dilf. Do I remember correctly that he had his long hair in a messy bun all the time and when he proposed marriage to Betrice he dramatically opened it? And dramatically stared into the middle distance? And when she refused, he sheepishly put his hair up again? Lovely choice, 10/10, chef's kiss.

I liked the choice to let two scenes run parallel, but the food fight took me out of the story completely. I feel like food was such a rare and precious good in war times and after, wasting it for a food fight is a thoughtless choice to say the least? Even if it was supposed to signify new, carefree times... not a vibe tbh.

I loved Dogberry and Co., they were all lovely and some great choices (in regards to audience interaction, too) were made.

Also. Dogberry forgot part of his text and started scatting on the spot which is still hilarious to me. Even Leonata's actress broke character and looked at him confusedly, laughing and mouthing 'what??'.

Which kind of brings me to my favourite. The star of the evening for me.

Antonia.

She was . So. GOOD.

She made every correct choice and then took her performance up a notch again.

She was silly and loving, despairing and furious. It was a joy to watch her and I know I'll rewatch this version for her and her alone.

... ok! Hope I could give you an impression of the NT-Much Ado production!! Have a lovely day! :)

YES this was such a treat and then some!!!!

for the NT version, i will say: i saw clips of the ice cream and bath scenes and they were comedic gold. i only wish i'd seen Benedick at the end of the ice cream scene and during the "against my will i am sent to bid you" bit, cause those parts always get me in any production.

(also i would kill for Vulnerable Beatrice and Confident Hero. i love them. and i am looking forward to seeing Revelatory Margaret, i do think she's interesting and you could play her with quite a bit of depth if you made the effort to understand her. i should get on that.)

as for Globe 2022:

i did think Benedick and Claudio could've been better — Beatrice stood out for me because Lucy Phelps is generally magnetic, and i thought Hero was pretty spunky, which remains a relatively new take. and yeah, i remember the plant pot bit, because my view was obscured by that potted plant for the entirety of the show. didn't Beatrice get stuck in the badminton net though? credit where credit is due.

you are absolutely spot on that Don Pedro was a DILF and about his hair. that was super fun. unfortunately i don't remember much of the rest of his performance (like when he aided and abetted Claudio in his Crimes). as for the food fight, i honestly mostly watched it in confusion. it felt... surreal. like a dreamscape. renaissance painting come to life.

you liked Antonia! that's an interesting choice!!! looking back i have to say, yeah, that lady could do no wrong. in a show where the mains were on the meh side (sorry babes), i think we got some solid supporting characters in this one. i'm usually a fan of the prods that replace Antonio with Innogen, but the combination of Leonata and Antonia was... interesting. i wonder if it compromised on the emphasis on patriarchal societal structures in MAAN, though. i wonder.

i will love you forever, anon, thanks for this.

Hey! how is the globe's version of much ado? I've booked tickets and im so excited to see this production! what's your favourite moment/moments?

the energy at the Globe is unmatched and i'm so excited for you! it's a good production, although in all honesty it's not one of my favourites. i think the characters who really shine in this one are Bea and Hero. Lucy Phelps is dazzling as always; Nadi Kemp-Sayfi's take on Hero is less restrained, more vibrant, but she keeps that freshness that characterises Hero as the less jaded of the two.

i did wish there had been more of a spark between Ben and Bea — i felt things were a bit flat in the beginning, which made the scenes from Act 4 on seem too sudden. but they do a great job in their independent scenes, especially with the physical humour.

that being said, my favourite moment IS a Ben/Bea one: right after Ben's "i will live in thy heart" speech, transitioning into Act 5 Scene 3. look for Bea's reaction!

Do you have any Shakespeare production recommendations to watch? Specifically Taming of the Shrew, I haven’t seen it yet and I’m curious

ooh love this ask.

i’ve only seen Taming of the Shrew once, Stratford Festival 2015. Deborah Hay was a very fearsome… shrew..... and it was entirely a period piece except the Christopher Sly bit was modern, so that was a laugh. RSC did a genderswapped 2019 prod too, but i wanted to get an idea of the original for starters.

personally, i’m partial to the 2014 RSC double prod of Much Ado About Nothing and Love’s Labour’s Lost (mostly because it’s got Ed Bennett and Michelle Terry). MAAN 2011 with Tennant and Tate is also fab, as is the Globe’s LLL 2009.

from the RSC: Macbeth 2018 has a cool countdown clock, little girl witches, and a very cool final scene. As You Like It 2019 is a good time. Measure for Measure 2019 also seems good from the snippets i've seen.

if you can get to the Globe for a live show this summer, i think Julius Caesar 2022 with genderswapped Cassius and Brutus will not disappoint. and MAAN 2022 stars Lucy Phelps, which is a win in my book.

Hey!! finally watched the globe’s production of much ado (i was the one who sent the message a while ago asking you how you felt about it!) and i loved it, it was good! but i agree with you in the sense that the romance was just not as palpable as other productions i’ve watched. and i also felt like they were too friendly at the beginning; it didn’t really feel like they were rivals per se. lucy phelps was amazing tho she’s sooooo good definitely the highlight for me!

another thing i lovedddd is the way benedick got on his knees for beatrice when he promises to challenge claudio… not only is benedick a huge simp but it shows the immense power beatrice has over benedick. my man was in love IN LOVE 😭

it's funny, because between the lack of romance and the lack of aggression, that leaves Benedick and Beatrice as... friends???

i must've missed Benedick going down on his knees (i was perpetually blocked by a potted plant, if you were there you know which one) but i must thank you for alerting me to that. i DO love that. Benedick's overwhelming respect for Beatrice as a person is just my favourite thing.

[so-true-jestie]

just seen RSC's Richard III and still recovering from bits of it. particularly

every aside Richard makes to the audience about how great his newest scheme is

derogatory mentions of Richard's physicality being kind of... sticky

Margaret's truly unearthly screaming

really funny double casting of the two murderers

Richard telling Elizabeth to get over the deaths of her sons because we have moved on from that!

staging of "my kingdom for a horse" (or just the entire final scene really) — the ghosts, but also Margaret as what i think is a personification of Fate. ("remember Margaret was a prophetess")

colour reference of red/white in the final scene costuming echoing the Tudor rose (not sure if this was intentional but a nice touch all the same)

not about to spoil too much unless you want me to, but feel free to ask/add on — loved it (although 3 hours at night is admittedly a stretch) and really glad to have caught it

[so-true-jestie]

hi staples, i was the anon who saw much ado for the first time over the weekend!! i LOVED it and absolutely everything you said in answer to my ask was 100% accurate!! i definitely followed the plotlines thanks to the summary and a lot of that trickery & plotting was stated clearly for the audience's benefit! and then of course when beatrice & benedick we're listening in, their physical comedy was GOLD. the time period in which it was set was extremely relevant and the director (per their program note) used it entirely to their benefit! i really liked the show and i'm definitely planning to watch the tennant/tate version now, to enjoy it again and try and catch anything i missed seeing it live! thank you xx

really glad you enjoyed it!!

T/T is certainly the most dynamic, but with great emotional nuance. youtube also has snippets of RSC's 2014 production, for a mellower take — i find the flow of the language most beautiful in that one. one of my faves for sure.

happy watching! x
