Legacy of Shinra Reboot ~ Origins of the Ink Demon Chapter 1 Remake Finale (6/10) ~

"At the Iwakura/Maxwell Residence...2003"

[Deathscythe Facility - Japan]

Lain : Dinner's ready.

Duo : Yeah, Yeah. I'm coming, I'm coming. Hope I don't spoil the appetite.

Lain : I made my favorite. I hope you're gonna like it.

Rei : Oh, Hello, Duo Maxwell.

Duo : Huh?

"Duo Maxwell : Ex-Gundam Pilot of Deathscythe"

Duo : What's a Gainax veteran doing at my place?

"Rei Ayanami : Eva Pilot and Gainax Veteran"

Rei Ayanami : Just visiting at my friend's place. I heard your robot's doing fine as well, Duo. I bet she's great at cooking for me to invite me over to a dinner party.

Lain : True that.

"Lain Iwakura : Former TV Star and Internet Sensation"

Lain : I've gain a lot of ways to be this as a great house wife, although despite being the girl with autism, I clearly recommend that having technology and transcending data is my personality. So yeah, you even recognized me. Plus, I was the girl who using a Gun suicide when the original died. So here I am, a copy of the original. I still have personal access to one many simulations in progress. Using data tactics with all IPs gathered from single entities. Plus, I even linked with Mecha Data.

Rei : See? She's a smart girl, she knows that transcending data. Was her specialty. It's good that we have a common reunion. Although, I did met her at the end of the 1990s. Me, Lain, and others are using our IPs to create another studio. It was good times at 1998, we had quality times together.

Lain : Right. So, no clue on getting your friends together, right, Duo? I mean you still have a best friend in number one that you should meet.

Duo : My best friend, Heero and the others. Dudes from the aftermath Gundam Wing on the Toonami Archive. Me and the dudes better not miss out on the 10th anniversary of our show. They better not bail out to Oceania to catch some tasty, gnarliest waves without me. It's not like that it's not the same without him. So I'm wounding up myself here at the facility where my robot is resting. Any news update from all of that data you transcended?

Lain : Why yes, Duo. There is some data that needed to be transcended immediately. I've accessed the Death Weapon Meister Academy top-secret files. There should be some evidence of what was going on with the school and it contains suspicious secrets. I will begin playing the footage.

Voice : Monitoring Systems online...Playing footage transmissions.

*GLITCHING+BUZZING*

[Echo Night - Beyond/Nebula : Track 12]

Lain : I hope this works.

Darkside Death on footage : Well, my slave. What do you think of Darkside C, I've combined the three hearts of three young heroes who will serve under the influence of my creator. And this will eventually making you that you were the ruler of the cosmos, while I am the ruler of the Ohkuboverse that demands me power.

Shotaro the Dokeshi on footage : Sh-Shut up! This is all Shinra's fault that you got every human being involved, including the witches! What does Shinra's influence have ever done to this planet and to all of us! You're doing this for your own kind, would you!? I...I will kill you for this!

Darkside Death on footage : Or else what? You'll just be another nuisance to me, like your pitiful comrades that you helped them along the way. If Soul Eater meant to be apart of the real world, then I shall make Soul Eater's world coexist with the real world and you will be part of it by becoming my slave as Shinigami.

Shotaro the Dokeshi on footage : Y-You monster! You can't do this to everyone, not me! I don't deserve this!

Darkside Death on Footage : The fabrication of your recklessness shall be revered.

Shotaro the Dokeshi : No...Not them again!

*heartless chuckles evilly*

Shotaro the Dokeshi on footage : Please! No! Wh...Why are you doing this!?! Just why!?! Don't come near me! I don't want to be shinigami! Please, don't come near me! Y-YOU COWARD!

Darkside Death on footage : (laughs evilly)

Shotaro the Dokeshi : Yohei! Mana! Help me! AAAAAAAAAAH!!!

*footage ends*

Duo : My god. that kid from the author's first manga was the Shinigami they knew, and it was only a slave to be under the control of a heartless. That's the one that I encountered with in Tokyo in the Spring of 2003. Maka Albarn was so desperate to think that being a hero to Soul Eater was a misunderstanding. But what could this all mean. Go to another footage.

Lain : Okay. *plays another footage*

[Echo Night - Beyond/Track - Track 9]

Spirit Albarn on Footage : Come on, Phanto. Pretty please? Our wife won't be upset when she dreams of becoming a hero one day and...

Lord Phatno III on footage : Enough talk, Spirit. I don't want to hear anymore words about our daughter wanting to work under the influence from the Devil himself. Our sole purpose to keep this planet safe in our hands from enemy threats. We the Phantonians of this here galaxy shall be ours to conquer and not just that greedy heartless charlatan that thinks he's the ruler of the cosmos. That's not even a real title and it's a false one.

Spirit Albarn on Footage :But...I made my daughter dreamed that she'll become a great hero like the boy who created Soul Eater! We read that book about Shinra's life as a hero and then her mother tells us that the world was made with hope without the despair. What's so wrong about that?

Lord Phatno III on footage : Hope is just light, and Despair is the only key that will unleashed the powerful and negative energy that we all know it as...Darkness. Humans like you should know their place.

*footage ends*

Duo Maxwell : So any of this is where it goes?

Lain : Here's another one. *plays another footage*

Kimial on Footage : Killik. About my mother, is it true that we are descendants of a group of beings that we called Pyrokinetics?

Killik on Footage : What would you know about that? Of course we're descendants of two families from the Ohkuboverse 1000 years ago, when it was destroyed by that vicious time-traveling entity called the Time Eater that scolded Shinra and our people on purpose for creating a heartless and the world of Soul Eater.

Kimial on Footage : I know, Killik. It's hard for us to understand the truth and just accept it. The Ohkuboverse no longer exist after the Time Eater ceased all of it by erasing it's past, present, and future. Is this really all true that I was the one who wanted to be under the influence?

[Echo Night - Beyond/Nebula : Track 12 (reprise)]

Kimial on Footage : Well then...I say NEVER!

*SLAM!*

Kimial on Footage : I don't care if my will of protecting my people from certain deaths or being under the influence of Shinra Kusakabe to make me the hero they want to be! I am no Nevadan, neither was I born in a Witches' realm. My people are still there and I am a witch from Salem! There is no way that this heartless is treating us like a bunch of slaves or being their scapegoats.

Killik on Footage : But Kimial, we...

Kimial on Footage : No more buts! No more coconuts! Now leave me alone! I don't really wanna deserve myself to be a part of Maka''s dumb crappy story about being a hero.

Killik on Footage : Kimial...We've been like heroes to be part of Maka's story like this forever. I thought Shinra Kusakabe's influence would make us stronger and become the heroes that we are today. Who cares if we risk our lives fighting for our ideals of protecting this planet? Is killing your kind the right way to do for Shinra. But we're just being used as slaves for the sake of Shinra's legacy! How can you be so jealousy about not protecting your heritage. Do you wanna let others die for the sake of our cause of protecting the legacy? Well...?

Kimial on Footage : I...I only wanted to protect those that I loved as someone that protects me the most who loves me dearly.

Killik on Footage : So if your people that are the witches who weren't enemies, then who is...? More importantly, where do you come from?

Kimial on Footage : It's Salem...Salem Massachusetts. That's where the Majo Order has been kept. I'm trying to protect the legacy or not, but this one's gotta be very important. So Where do you come from?

Killik : I...I think I was usually born on the city of Charleston, coastal town on the east coast, but I'm from the city of Atlanta.

Kimial on Footage : Good cause I'll make sure that we'll ever never be the hero of the ones who really protected Shinra's legacy! I don't know why it's influence drove us to become heroes. More than protecting the legacy of all to Witchkind. These heartless aren't going to get away with this.

*footage ends*

Duo : You think that's the last of the footage? Aren't there any more evidence?

Lain : True but first, we need to get things prepared for dinner.

Duo : Okay, I'll be having something good to eat from your cooking.

Lain : Good. Welll, be preapre.

*one preparations for dinner later..."

Lain : So...Duo. I finally found out what those footages meant from to Shotaro to uncover the secrets of Soul Eater.

Duo : Oh yeah, that reminds. When that kid named Crona killed a dragon 10 years ago, I believe the dragon was a reincarnation of a human defeated by Arthur Boyle before he was resurrected into a woman named Saber. Yeah that's what I thought.

Rei : Oh...? Saber? That blonde hair woman from Type-Moon's smash hit Visual Novel Fate? Honestly, Saber hadn't been shown her face 10 years ago. Bet this lady's kid Mordred would be happy to please her to get a good look on her face.

Duo : I think so, but after all, Saber took the inheritance from Arthur Boyle original incarnation, this one recall the days hustling money in Joustings, rush of Swordsmanship, and then, his/her partnership with an old rival or friend, Shinra Kusakabe. But after getting with the whole H-Scene job he was doing, we just realized Arthur boyle himself as Saber, could not take it no more. So that's where she get a call for a reunion of his partner.

Rei : Is there is a reason that someone works for this company called Nitroplus?

Lain : Oh yeah. Saber works at Nitroplus while she works with her creators. But how in the world was Saber brought to existence for the meaning of excalibur?

Duo : Like that...that fairy tale story about a man who would be King? King Arthur?

Lain : Oh yeah, something like that. So where do you think that Arthur boyle-resurrect Saber was heading when she slipped out of the Fate Universe?

Duo : I wonder what placed did I think of that ship...

*flashback of scenes of the Egg Carrier*

[Echo Night - Beyond/Nebula : Track 2]

Duo : Ah-ha! Now I know where those two heroes of the Ohkuboverse is heading to. They were heading to that abandoned aircraft carrier which was abandoned at the ocean. But who sabotaged, the ship's engines.

Lain : Perhaps you were talking about the Egg Carrier that I sabotaged by creating a virus to hack into the ship's power grid. Thus destroying the Carrier's engines and crashed into ocean.

Rei : What? You sabotaged an aircraft that was flying through the air?

Lain : Right. It was I who wanted to destroy that vessel to make it go out of the way. It was the only thing that I ever did for make the skies go green with Deathscythe able to fly in the sky again.

*flashback shows Lain hacking in the Egg Carrier's power system*

Lain : I used the input codes directly into the ship's computer system, to make it look like that the ship was losing altitude. But when the time was right, I finally enter the detonation code to destroy the ship's engines and then it goes..."BOOM!"

*DBZ SFX : Loud Explosions*

*flashes back to the group*

Lain : It finally crashed landed right into the ocean! That is how the flying fortress loses it's wings.

Rei : All this time, it was you who sabotaged the Egg Carrier using the powers of these wires! You used the wires to hack into the ship's computer systems and sabotaged by creating a virus.

Lain : I had to do everything to keep in order, Using a virus would be my mistake. Entering a digital realm would less to be compromised. Although, I did added some texture a while ago.

Rei : So...Is the ship still running?

Lain : Exactly. It'll be just easy as pie. But however some of the machinery is still active while the ship that Sabotaged on the surface of the ocean. Here, this is what I've drawn in 98, it's a picture of the Egg Carrier when I first saw the international trailer for it's 1999 release.

*Lain shows a drawing of the Egg Carrier*

Lain : This is me, and that's the ship losing it's own wings.

Duo : My goodness. The Egg Carrier, that's where Shinra and Arthur will reunite.

Rei : Wonder those two boys of the Ohkuboverse are up to?

*Computer beeping*

Lain : Huh? What's this on my computer? Another footage?

*footage shows E-100 Alpha (Zero) Escaping the Special Stage*

Rei : What? Isn't that the Bird Catcher from 1998?

Lain : So the mad scientist has decided to create a robot duplicate that was accident into the special stages while gathering the seven emeralds. I think it's going after those guys. We gotta get to that ship now! Duo! You take Deatschyte! To find and locate the ship. We'll rendezvous at bridge by going through by via connecting through Cyberspace.

Rei : Buh-Let me handle this. Coordinates sets. Open Sesame! Hiya!

*Karate Chops computer*

Lain : REI! Easy on my computer!

Rei : Hey, what can I say. I was just warming up.

*portal to Cyberspace opens*

[Eletricfied by Jun Senoue]

Duo : No way!

Rei : Alright, Lain! You ready to go.

Lain : I was more than ready, but be careful on my computer next time.

Rei : I know. GERONIMOOOO!!!

*Rei and Lain Jumps into the Portal to Cyberspace as it closes*

Duo : Heh. So much for those two girls going into cyberspace. [To Alice] Alice, you look after the house with ichise, I gotta get to the Egg Carrier to find those Ohkuboverse boys! *runs off*

Alice : Please, come back soon, guys. Hope you're all safe from going to that ship.

*BUZZING*

Alice : Huh? What's this? Okay, Lain. Very funny. Enough playing with the Transmissions. I'm not receiving any calls from TACHIBANA or NERV, or any of those Gundam Geeks that worries about our studio shut down two years ago. *Gasped in shock* Is this...?

[Echo Night - Beyond/Nebula : Track 12]

*images flashing*

Alice : *in shock after seeing footage* No...What is this? Who is this?

Bendy from Footage : *distorted voice* Inky...My wife, Inky Albarn...My consort queen of the family...I wanted to be with you together...Just the two of us...I will...I will...kill those...

Alice : .*still in shock+Covers mouth* ...!?

Bendy from Footage : *shifts in a demonic voice* I will kill those who dares to destroy this planet! I won't let them get away with this! All heartless beings...must die! Inky Albarn, we must...No...Inky Albarn isn't your name was it? I did call you Inky Albarn, because you are my wife...But enough is enough I decided to give you a stage name. Makami, no too much letters, how about I give you the name itself to don that stage name. How about I will be giving your name Inky Albarn into...Maka Albarn, or the blood of our brethren will give you codename : Black Blood Maka

*footage ends*

Alice : No...So the queen of the Ink Demons...is Maka Albarn? Maka is Bendy's wife from the past? Inky Albarn and Maka Albarn are two different persons from the past. Does this mean...Maka Albarn of today, was really a copy of her or herself? What the hell is going on?

"Whatever the hell it is...It's gotta be the truth"

"Is Inky Albarn really another Maka Albarn from the past?"

"What is going on with the humans of Soul World being weird?"

"So if Inky Albarn is Maka Albarn from a different timeline..."

" Then I suggest that Inky Albarn is really Black Blood Maka".

[phoebe-delia]

Hello my Pheeby Deeby Pumpkin Squeezy. I am here to request song 2. I haven’t been here in so long it’s criminal smh

@written-in-ash, My darling, it would be my pleasure. This "peace" by Taylor Swift. It's a song that I *almost* used as the one from folklore in the TS Drarry series on AO3, but I went with tlgad because I wanted to include Wolfstar. But this song is so Draco it almost hurts.

I adore you more than words can express. Thank you for being there for me in late-night brainstorming, deep talks, absolutely nonsensical conversations, and times when we share a brain cell.

I love you, and I love writing for you. I hope you enjoy some break-up, make-up. <3

"Shut up."

"Excuse me?"

Draco ran a hand through his hair. "Just—before you say anything, before you send me away, just shut up and listen to me."

Harry raised an eyebrow. "A lot of nerve coming from the man who I haven't heard from in three weeks since he stormed out of here."

"Yeah," Draco cringed. "That's what I was hoping to discuss. Can I come in?"

"Are you going to break my vase again?"

"In my defense, you'd cheated on me."

"No, I didn't."

"No, you didn't, but I thought you had. And that's why I broke your vase. I'm sorry, I'll buy you a new one, where did you get it?"

"It was a priceless family heirloom, actually."

Draco paled. "Really?"

"No, it was ten galleons. I just wanted to see you squirm."

"Now you've had your fun, can I come in, please?"

"Fine," Harry said, stepping aside to let Draco past him.

Draco walked to the middle of the room, letting his eyes roam over the flat, looking for any changes Harry'd made in his absence. It all seemed to be the same, except—

"You got rid of the cactus I bought you?"

Harry snorted, crossing his arms over his chest. "That's what you want to talk about now?"

"Right," Draco sighed. "Here goes. I'm sorry, Harry."

"That's a pretty good start."

"I wasn't done."

"I should hope not."

Draco refrained from glaring at him. "Harry, I'm...you see, I can be a bit of a coward, and sometimes my fear is expressed through acts of angry impulsivity that end up more self-destructive than anything else."

"Yeah, I've gathered that."

"Yes, I know. And anyway, I'm not the easiest person to live with. To be with. I can be...prickly and demanding. I don't deal with rejection very well, and I have a tendency to hide or lash out when I feel threatened."

"I know, Draco," Harry's tone was softer, now. "I knew that before you left, and I know that now."

"Just let me finish. I'm also loyal. And I'm giving. And I like taking care of the people I care about. And I'm actually pretty trusting, almost as much as I am trustworthy—with the right people, of course. And when I thought you'd cheated on me—"

"Which, I want to clarify again: that was Hermione's lipstick from when she and Ron stayed over during their house renovations."

"Yes, I know that now. When I'd mistakenly thought that you'd cheated on me, I ran away. Not just because I'd been hurt, but because it confirmed to me that I'm..." Draco trailed off, shutting his eyes and bracing himself before he said the part of the speech he hadn't been able to say aloud during his many rehearsals. "I'm not good enough for you." It was a whisper, but Harry heard it, and that's what mattered.

"Draco please," Harry's voice was thick. "You were always enough for me—always."

"Okay," Draco exhaled. "I hear that, and I want to believe it. Just—Gods I hate this but, every now and then, when I get...you know...will you..."

Harry nodded. "I can do that, now that I know the signs. But if I don't see it right away, or if you have doubts about me or us, please come and talk to me before jumping to conclusions, okay? If this is going to work, we have to give each other the benefit of the doubt until we figure it out—together, Draco."

The anxiety, the tightly-coiled tension Draco'd been carrying for three weeks left his body in a wave, the relief of it nearly making his knees buckle. His eyes watered with unshed tears, and he sniffed as Harry closed the distance, wrapping Draco in his arms.

He clung to Harry like a lifeline, burying his head in the warm, spicy-scented crook of Harry's neck. Draco let the tears fall silently from his closed eyelids like the remnants of raindrops on a windowpane after a storm. Harry pulled back far enough to kiss the wetness from Draco's cheeks, cradling his head in his calloused hand.

"Harry, I'm so sorry. I don't know how you can forgive me."

"But I do. It's easy to forgive when it's worth it. And you—" Harry said, looking earnestly into Draco's eyes, "you're worth it every time."

I have a playlist of my 99 most listened-to songs of the year so far. Pick a number 1--99 and send me an ask and I'll write you a fic based on it!

Draco Malfoy x Jade Calmanie Smut| Business Man

Includes: Oral sex (male received), vaginal sex, choking, nudity, and harsh language

Jade is a character I created for this one-shot. You can still make this a Draco x reader if you want to.

________________________________________________________________________________

"I don't know what to do, Gin. I haven't seen him all day," Jade told her best friend Ginny on the other end of the phone line.

"You sure he isn't just avoiding you?" She asked, and Jade scoffed.

"Thanks, Ginny, that really helps," she mocked, and Ginny chuckled. "No, ever since he's gotten promoted, he's been too worried about keeping his title to do anything else. But, you know how fast the Auror department moves, Gin," Ginny sighed and muttered a 'yeah.'

"Look, why don't you go in there and talk to him about it. That's what I did with Harry when he got the position as head Auror. He did the same thing," the Weasley said, and Jade debated her advice, tapping her fingers on her burning thigh.

"Yeah, but do I care to remind you what happened after that?"

"We got in a fight, and he refused to put out for a week," Ginny admitted in defeat, and Jade giggled under her breath.

"Exactly," The brunette argued.

"Stop being a coward and do something! I don't care what it is, but I'm not your couple therapist anymore," Ginny snapped, and Jade huffed.

"Fine. But you know eventually, you'll come crawling back to your job like you have the last seven times," Jade teased.

"Shut up," the red-head growled, and Jade greeted her goodbye. "Oh, and use protection!" Ginny yelled as Jade was about to hang up. She rolled her eyes and hung up. Jade stood up from the black leather couch in her and Draco's living room and made her way to Draco's office. She stared at the dark oak door when she got there before forcing her hand to open the door slowly. She knocked softly and peeked her head through the opening.

She saw Draco at his desk writing a letter to someone with his eagle feather quill. Parts of his blonde hair had fallen in front of his face, but he didn't seem to have noticed and continued writing. The veins in his hands were exfoliated in the dim light which reflected off his white button-up shirt. He was tapping his foot in perfect patterns, his freshly shined black shoes making minimal noise.

"Good morning, darling. What do you need?" He asked, his voice crisp and short. He hadn't looked up once since Jade entered the room.

"Erm — it's eight in the afternoon, Draco," Jade furrowed my eyebrows as she took a few steps inside.

"Oh, well, anyway, what do you need?" He repeated, and she shrugged.

"I don't need anything. I just wanted to check on you," she said, placing her hands at the end of his black desk.

"I'm doing fine, darling. You don't need to fret anymore," he rushed and scribbled some words on his piece of parchment.

"You sure?"

"Yes," he mumbled. Jade licked her full lips and walked around the desk until she stood behind Draco's chair.

"You do realize that you haven't been out of this room in," Jade grabbed Draco's left hand, which wasn't writing, and looked at his watch. "13 hours," she stated, and Draco yanked his wrist away from his girlfriend's grasp. He didn't respond, merely continued writing. Jade huffed and rested her hands on his shoulders.

He tried to shrug them off, but Jade leaned him back slightly and ran them down his chest. She bent down and began nibbling at the spot behind his ear. She soothed the sore skin with tender kisses before returning to biting. "Jade," Draco hissed and tried to get back to his letter, only for Jade to tug at his hair.

Her kisses and bites moved down to his neck, but she tilted his head over to begin her work on his cutting jawline. Draco knew he should push her away and continue his work, but he couldn't get himself to do it. All he could do was tense and try desperately to hold back a gulp. Jade's hands roamed further down to Draco's trousers, and they hovered over his belt buckle.

"May I?" Jade whispered, biting at Draco's ear. Draco glanced behind him and looked at his beautiful girlfriend. Jade took a step back as he swiveled his chair around to face her. She raised an eyebrow and bit her lip to conceal a smirk.

What surprised her was when Draco held up his index finger and gestured her over. Jade went back over to him and straddled his lap across the chair. "Just so we're clear. If this delays me by any time that it'll negatively affect my job in any way. You know what you'll get coming. Understood?" he said, his voice raspy and so harsh that his teeth clenched together.

"Of course," Jade replied, matching his character of tone perfectly. Her hand grazed against his throat before going to his hair and yanking his head back, causing a loud grunt to escape his mouth. She kissed his adam's apple before unclutching his head and slipping off the chair. She got on her knees and undid his belt.

It clattered when it hit the floor, and his pants were soon to follow. The couple stared at each other as Jade brought down Draco's boxers. Draco exhaled in relief as his cock sprang free onto his stomach. Jade began stroking it with her right hand, her newly painted nails glowing against the lamplight. Before he could process anything different, Jade had put his throbbing tip in between her lips. The blonde threw his head back and groaned quietly.

Being satisfied with her boyfriend's reaction, Jade picked up her pace of bobbing her head and stroking the parts she couldn't fit in her mouth. Draco couldn't resist the temptation of grabbing her hair as his sounds of pleasure continued. "Shit," he whispered as Jade forced herself to go deeper. He was practically pulling out Jade's hair by the time she pulled away to breathe. Draco's cock twitched in her hands just before she let it fall onto his thigh.

She stood again and watched Draco catching his breathe with a small smirk. When Draco's eyes finally went to her, Jade trailed her hands up both her thighs until they were under the short black dress she was wearing. Draco watched as she pulled her knickers down her frame until they were on the floor and pushed aside. He bit his lip as she returned to straddling his lap.

Her dripping folds pressed against his sensitive tip, and they both moaned. Jade brought herself up and picked up Draco's cock, lining herself up. Draco grabbed Jade's chin and made her look into his consuming eyes as she cautiously lowered herself onto him until their hips made contact again. Draco grabbed onto her hips, and Jade gripped onto the arm of the chair. Her jaw dropped, and she whimpered while listening to Draco's heavy breathing.

Jade only had to adjust for a few moments before she began grinding against his hips. Draco's hold on her hips tightened, and they both moaned in euphoria. While gentle curses fell from Draco's lips, Jade picked up the pace until she was bouncing up and down. Her hand clutching the armrest moved to Draco's chest. She scratched at it.

"Fuck, baby," Jade whispered in Draco's ear. Draco assisted her attempt to bring pleasure by bringing his hips up the moment she hit hers, causing her to take more of him. As they quickened their pace, they both felt a burning sensation running through their abdomens. Draco's cock began twitching inside Jade, and Jade's fingers found Draco's hair again as she trembled over him.

"I'm gonna cum," Draco hissed, and Jade nodded in agreement. Draco's voice went up an octave as he pulled out of his girlfriend, and his hot cum erupted from his red tip onto his chiseled stomach. His hand found Jade's heat, where he helped her reach her high. When she did a minute later, her entire body shook, and Draco's fingers were glossed with her juices.

When both were down from their orgasms, Jade collapsed onto her boyfriend. Her cheek rested on his shoulder as they both panted loudly. "Now, will you finally get out of this room?" Jade asked through catching her breath.

Draco nodded. "After that? Hell yeah."

Squeeze that bunny tail!

Part 3

Description: The RAD student council as well as the exchange students help out at a bar where, oops, the staff´s dress codes are those sweet bunny outfits that we all know and thirst for. The MCs, Violet and Clover, play a game of who can touch the most bunny tails over the evening without getting caught. Prepare for fluff, funny innuendos as well as my thirst over hot boys in bunny outfits.

Find the first parts on my masterlist.

Story continues under the cut. Enjoy the thirst!

[The amazing artwork belongs to @tokamiart, permission to post was granted, don´t repost!]

Clover and Simeon were giving out drinks at the bar.

The girl was handing over all sorts of bottles, glasses and ice cubes if needed. Simeon then put it all together with such grace and beauty that Clover often found herself gazing at him, until the brunet would turn to her with a smile and ask her to let go of whatever she had been wanting to hand him.

At one point, without any customers walking up to the bar, Clover sat down for a quick break.

"Tired?" Simeon asked, having decided to clean the counter in the meantime.

Clover chuckled at the sight. "Oh, is this going to be the classic 'I tell the bartender of my problems' scenario?"

The angel blinked in confusion. "I am afraid I don't know what you are talking about... But I'm always there to lend you an ear, if that's what you're aiming at."

"I'm fine", she laughed. "I was only joking... I must admit, though, you really suit this job. I'm sorry if I'm misjudging you, but how come an angel is looking so perfectly fit for serving drinks?"

Simeon blessed her with a chuckle. "Thank you for the compliment. As for your question... You might be surprised, but angels do know how to have some fun, too."

"Oooh" Clover grinned. "So the whole turning-water-into-wine thing wasn't just a myth?!"

At that, Simeon only put his finger close to his lips in a "shhh" sound, giving her a secretive little wink before both broke out in soft giggles.

A little while later, their attention got caught up by a situation at the tables.

Luke was cleaning dirty dishes off of an emptied table, when a demon approached him.

A little flustered, they exchanged a few words before Luke gestured towards the public toilets.

"He's doing so well" Simeon hummed, leaning on the counter as he watched his angel friend with a proud smile. "It had been very difficult for him to adjust to life in the Devildom... But I'm glad to see he is finally finding his own pace of things."

Clover's head jumped back and forth between the two celestial creatures.

"It's because he has a great friend who's watching over him" she smiled.

"Huh? Oh, no, I don't want to take any credit for that. It's all thanks to Luke's own strength that he's able to go through this so well."

Suddenly, Luke hurried over to them, a full tray of dishes in his hands.

He looked SO disgusted.

"Waaah... What's wrong with those demons...!" He let the tray slip onto the counter. "Has nobody here learned how to properly behave in a restaurant?! The tables are sticky, the food is all over the cutlery, or even worse...!"

He held up a fork.

... Or better, what was left of it. Which was only the handle. The upper spikes got bitten off almost completely.

"Who eats a fork?!?!", Luke cried out. "That's... That's... Ridiculous!"

Clover gave an awkward laugh, she got over the point of wondering long ago.

"I am pretty sure I know who would..." she mumbled.

And truly, stepping out of the kitchen, the culprit looked at the fork with a guilty expression.

"... Don't tell Lucifer" Beelzebub mumbled as he came closer. "He'll get mad if he sees that parts of the cutlery are missing..."

"... 'parts'?!" Luke repeated in disbelief. "You mean this isn't the only one?!"

"... Those were accidents..." Beel whined, holding his grumbling belly.

He let himself plonk down on a chair next to Clover, then huddled over the counter in a pout.

"Ugh... And what am I supposed to do with that now...?" Luke said.

"Hm..." Simeon thought. "Clover, Beel, could you watch the bar for a moment? Luke, let's go bring the dishes to the kitchen... And that thing into the trash."

They excused themselves after Clover gave her okay and Beel gave some kind of grumble.

The girl´s head drifted over to look at the demon...

And her heart skipped a beat.

She checked the situation.

His tail? Exposed.

His thoughts? In some far away land about food.

The others? Gone.

The perfect chance for a squeeze? Right fucking NOW.

Clover swallowed the raising anxiety in her stomach.

She had lurked around the angels in hope of squeezing one of their tails, but now that they were gone, she had missed that chance...

The more she thought about it, the more did Clover feel like hyperventilating. It was such a stupid thing to fuss over, but sadly, her habit of over-contemplating would always stress her out in unnecessary situations.

After what felt like eternity of convincing herself, she moved her arm.

Beel almost immediately turned his head.

"... You look like you want to eat me." He said.

"Wh-what?!"

His grumpy face mustered her.

"But I will eat you before you could possibly eat me, so don't even try."

Clover's already red face curled in confusion.

"I didn't want to..." she mumbled.

"Why were you staring at me, then?"

"I-I... Was thinking about how to help you with your hunger..." she lied.

"... Oh. Sorry for accusing you of something else, then."

"N-no, it's fine..."

Before Clover could talk herself into more bullshit, Simeon came back, and the holy boy was there to save her from her own misery.

"Beel" he called out. "Luke and I will soon return home for a bit. I can bring you some sandwiches, so stay strong, okay?"

"Simeon...!" Beel cheered as his euphoria made him stand up and engulf Simeon in a hug. "You're a true angel...!"

Clover felt quite shitty afterwards.

Beel hugging Simeon was an adorable sight, but she hated herself for being such a coward.

After dodging another encounter with Solomon, she had pulled back to help Belphie at the casino area, trying to get her mind off of the competition for a little...

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

Alright. I hope you´re not bored yet, because the chaos hasn´t even properly started yet.

Also, nearing ourselves to half-time, now is a good opportunity to sum up a few events as well as the overall squish-score so far.

Violet was leading with a total of 12 points. Besides the mentioned scenarios, she had also encountered Mammon a second time, and she was lucky enough to find Luke having a life crisis over another eaten fork.

Heck, Violet even managed to squeeze Clover's tail once, and her friend hasn't noticed!

Clover, on the other side, has had a great start, but did rather poorly the later it got.

With five points, she only had another chance with Asmo, who, tbh, had been begging for someone to pay attention to his booty. (But to be clear, he did not notice the squish.)

Over time, she got desperate, but that only fueled Clover's fears of getting caught.

It nearly let her to internally quitting, if not for Violet to pull her back into the game once more...

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

Most of the crew was busy working when the clock struck midnight.

A nearby bell tower announced the change of day -- and with that, also the change of clothes.

The customers as well as the staff looked up when a certain voice echoed through the speakers.

"Good evening, my sweethearts~!" Asmodeus cheered, sitting on the bar counter and waving at the crowd. "Or should I say good night? Good morning? I hope you are having a good one, to say the least!"

He gained a small round of laughter.

"Yes, yes, a cheery mood is what we want! And now that we passed midnight... It's time for a special surprise!"

He stood up onto the counter, striking a nice pose while smirking widely.

"Those with weak minds -- and weak ovaries -- should brace themselves, cause things are about to get hot~!"

The crowd applauded and cheered. A group of thirsty (asmodeHoes) fans threw in some... naughty exclamations, but Asmo had already jumped onto the floor again, gathering the staff members around him.

Barbatos at his side, he was handing out another set of clothing. "Please get dressed quickly", the butler said.

And so they went off...

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

"VioLET."

"Cloverrrr..."

"I CAN'T go out like his."

"But... But Clover... You know what must be awaiting us outside..."

"ARGH... I'm not ready for that either..."

Clover was sitting on the floor again.

This time, their outfit consisted of a classic black playbunny suit, ears and tail still included of course, arm sleeves as well as a shirt's collar that was held together by a bow tie.

"Come onnn, I don't wanna go without you..." Violet protested.

"But HOW am I supposed to face those frickin´ snacks” Clover cried out. “I'm a fucking potato compared to them, also Violeeet, the moment I see any of them my mind will SIN and I won't ever be able to look into Simeon's eyes ever agai-"

They heard voices on the other side of the door.

"Woohooo, is that Lucifer?! Shirtless?!" They heard Asmo go. "And and, kyaaaa, Beel, those ABS!!"

The girls exchanged a glance.

Then dashed out of the womens' toilet once again.

Stumbling out of the room, however, there was no one to be spotted at all.

A little confused, the girls noticed too late how a cheeky Asmodeus had been hiding behind the door, pushing the latter shut to have a perfect view on his girls.

"Got you~!" he hummed, leading the girls to turn around.

He had a camera in his hands and seemed to be already filming.

"What a view~", he continued. "Could you do me a favour and turn around as well?"

"Asmo!!" Violet hissed, her cheeks gaining a pink blush out of angered embarrassment.

Not as much as Clover's face was heating up, though, as she prompted the demon to put his phone down.

"Not going to happen, sweetie~" he chuckled. "Devilgram will love those bashful expressions...!"

"WhAt?!" Violet covered her body immediately. "You WON'T upload this anywhere!"

"Uhmmm... That's kind of not possible, you know? This is a live broadcast."

"WHAT."

Then, another person stepped out of the males' bathroom.

"What's all the noise about?"

Lucifer's annoyed voice echoed through the corridor.

When he stepped closer, however, his attention got caught up by the girls' appearance.

"Oh~?" he purred, inspecting the girls (but Violet in particular hehe) with a pleased smirk on his lips.

"L... Lu..." Violet's voice broke off.

She just... Died. Nothing more to say about this, really.

Because only now both, Violet and Clover, realised that not everything of Asmo's bait had been a lie...

The demons were actually shirtless, their chests bare as they were wearing only arm sleeves and, in Lucifer's case, a bow tie around his neck, while Asmo's neck was decorated with a ribbon. Rather tight-fitting black trousers and the bunny accessories completed the look that had left the girls speechless.

Lucifer's smirk grew wider.

"No, that's no good... I think I will have to speak to the manager. Those outfits are way too distracting... Isn't that so, Violet?"

"H-huh?!" The girl did a little hop.

Thankfully, Asmo jumped in to her aid.

"Fufu~! Lucifer, do you mean the girls are getting distracted by us, or is it that YOU are getting distracted, hm~?"

Lucifer crossed his arms in a contemplative manner.

"Well... I admit to a pleasant view when I see one, so..." He pinned Violet down with his eyes. "I guess I will have to be extra careful from now on... Then again, I might need a more detailed view, just to be sure..."

Asmo gave an excited giggle.

"Lucifer, you beast~!"

Then Asmo turned to Violet again.

"But judging from her red cheeks, I feel Violet might think the same... Isn't that so, darling~?"

"U-uhm...", Violet stammered, trying really hard to make her brain function again. "Well I... Think there's no point in denying that... Uhm..."

She glanced over at Lucifer, but every time she did, her head got dizzy all over again.

"Go on, please" Lucifer suddenly said. "There is no need to deny what, exactly?"

And her brain got stuck in an endless loop of not being able to cope.

Lucifer seemed to have plenty of fun with that, so he kept teasing her for the time being.

-----

We do remember, however, that there was another still girl left to completely destroy.

And Asmo took it upon himself to achieve exactly that.

"Don't worry, Clover!" He said as he tackled the girl into a hug, simultaneously dragging her away from the two lovebirds. "You're just as charming, of course."

"Th-thanks..." Clover mumbled.

"Hm? You don't seem to believe me."

Clover pulled away, now only holding hands with him, giving a shrug. "You know what I think of my looks, Asmo..."

The avatar of Lust gave a sigh.

"There we go again... If you're so self-conscious… why don't we go ask for some opinions?"

"Eeh?!"

And if the god of fateful anime encounters had planned it, the remaining demon brothers happened to have finished changing as well. The door to the men´s bathroom swung open…

"Oh!" Asmo smelled his chance. "Look, there comes our audien-"

He got cut off by the weird sound Clover made.

In a single movement, she had let out a squeal that a human throat should not be able to do, had completely destroyed Asmo's pretty hand by squeezing it in excitement, while in the end she was hiding behind Asmo, only peeking over his shoulder to glance at the mass of hotness coming out of the bathroom.

"Clover…?" Asmo sounded confused.

"Too much hotness", she mumbled into his shoulder. “I can´t-“

"Huh?" Asmo sounded genuinely confused for a second.

Then a smirk curled his face.

"What?!" he spoke extra loud, extra dramatically, so everyone could hear. "What did you say, Clover?! You think they're all sooo hot?!"

"A-asmo, be quiet...!" Clover mumbled.

But he continued.

"What? You love how much skin we are showing?!" he yelled.

"Stop...!"

"Whaaat?! You'd even pay them to strip down even more?! Clover, you wild animal!"

She punched the demon in embarrassment.

The next second, a certain scumbag stood beside them.

"DiD I hEaR 'P-p-p-PAy'?!" Mammon stuttered, literal cash-symbols in his eyes.

Asmo grinned at him, covering Clover's mouth so she couldn't protest.

"Our dear Clover here wants you to strip for her~"

Clover shook her blushy head.

"That's not trrngh..." she tried to press out between Asmo's fingers.

Mammon stared at her for a moment.

"… 10.000 Grimm."

Clover had freed herself again.

"... What?"

"15.000 and I'll do pole dance too."

"MAMMON WHAT THE HECK."

The second born looked almost disappointed when Clover declined his offer.

But Asmo was already moving on with his mischiefs.

"What? Clover?? You want to do WHAT with Beel's abs?!?!"

"ASMODEUS, I'LL KILL YOU-"

"No you won't~" Asmo grinned, turning to give his brothers a view on Clover. "Guuuys, I need your help! I dare you to give this little lady a rating in this sweet costume of hers."

Most of them looked confused at first,

but, seeing one, her outfit, and two, how much she was unable to cope, a few were ready to assist in Asmo's tease.

"I'd need a full view to judge" Satan grinned.

"Yeah" Belphie agreed. "Could you turn around slowly, Clover? Maybe do some poses as well?"

Clover shot them some angry glares.

"... You could do that pose were you form ears with your hands…" Levi dared to add in a mumble.

"Hrrrgh...!" Clover was fighting her embarrassment. "All of you are awful... Beel over here is the only nice guy, honestly...!"

She glanced at him in a pout, hoping he'd defend her... Or at least say something as well...

"... So you're not going to pose for us?" Beel said in a pout.

Clover.exe stopped working.

"Fufu..." Asmo grinned. "See, my dear? Even Beel demands a show... Now come on, we're waiting~!"

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

You can probably guess that Clover wasn't going to get out of this situation anytime soon.

While this part of the group enjoyed this mess of a person, let's switch back to the other girl whose brain was doing about as poorly.

Lucifer had kept Violet by his side, making sure she wasn't going to help Clover in her dilemma… Or going elsewhere in general.

However, one certain jealous bean soon couldn't bear that Lucifer was hogging Violet all for himself.

"Oi, Lucifer, back off of Violet already!"

And Mammon pressed himself in between them. "She's one of my humans after all!"

Visible displease grew on Lucifer's face as he got cockblocked yet again.

"And what would give you the right to claim her for yourself?" The eldest grumbled.

Mammon crossed his arms.

"... Because I just said so."

Lucifer pressed out a sigh, to then simply push Mammon's body away again.

"LUCIF-", Mammon hissed. "STOOP...!"

"You are distracting us, Mammon."

"B-but... That´s not fair…” he shouted. “M-maybe I want Violet to notice me as well!!"

Lucifer stopped, while most of the surrounding people went silent.

Then Levi gave a laugh.

"Oh my god MAMMON, that was so desperate lolol, SO uncool!"

Belphie spared him a pityful laugh. "Are you really that desperate for some attention, you idiot?"

The avatar of Greed was gritting his teeth.

"Hnngh... Shut up, all of you...!"

The situation around them escalated a little, even more so as Diavolo and Barbatos joined in on the chaos, having changed clothes as well.

But Violet felt bad, especially since she wouldn´t have expected Mammon to act like this. So, in a silent second where everyone seemed busy in their personal chaos, she sneaked over to Mammon.

After -- of course, what did you expect -- quickly poking his bunny tail, Violet also gave his shoulder a tap.

"Are you okay?" she asked.

Mammon looked a little surprised, responding with a huff.

"...'s a wolf..."

"Huh?"

"Lucifer's a wolf!" Mammon repeated, awfully loud and both feared that the eldest brother had heard him.

A bit more timid, Mammon continued as Violet could only look at him in confusion.

"... Ya can't just go hop around in such an alluring outfit when there're guys like Lucifer around. He could go full beast mode and, dunno, do some weird stuff to ya."

Violet suppressed the nasty thoughts approaching her brain, her heart beating drastically as she mumbled a faint "I see".

"Ya human should better stick to the great Mammon! I'd treat you nicely, y'know."

Violet raised her eyebrows in surprise.

"... 'Treat me' how, exactly?" She asked in an almost teasing manner. "What were you planning to do, Mammon?"

And it landed a critical hit.

"I-I-I-I mean tr-treat as i-in... I'd protect you from all those beasts around you!" he stammered, his cheeks a blushing mess. "Nothin´ weird, I swear!! Its just… There's plenty of those beasts! Actually, maybe you should go home. If all the customers see you like this... Argh... I have to tell Clover, too...!”

He turned his head to search for the other girl, only to realise the group was about to return to their work. "Ahh... Oh no, she´s already been caught..." Mammon pressed out.

"Mammon" Violet called out again and treated him with a smile. "I assume you´re saying this because you´re worried about us, right? Thank you for that, you´re really a good friend. We're having a shift together later, right? So, until later, okay?"

He seemed confused again, but nodded in the end.

"Ugh... Fine... Just stay safe, ´kay? Promise!"

"I promise" she laughed, then Mammon finally seemed to have calmed down.

At least he was fine enough to turn around and go bother Levi with something.

Violet was watching them in amusement, then felt a presence behind her.

"Turning your eyes off of me already?" A deep voice purred almost right into her ear.

Ah, yes, there it was again, the drastic heart rate.

"Lucifer..." Violet turned around at the mellow voice. "I just wanted to tease Mammon a little. He seemed a little down."

"Sure, suit yourself..." Lucifer mumbled casually. "But I seem to be a little down as well... To think you'd end our conversation so quickly..."

Violet exploded into a puzzled blush.

"N-no... That's not... I ... You..."

Lucifer was pinning her down with his gaze, waiting for a coherent reaction. “Then how abou we pick up where we left? I think there´s something you wanted to tell me…”

"Y-you look... A-... Amazing..." she stammered.

"Hm? Could you say that again? Your voice appears to be awfully thin."

She breathed a heavily stressed breath. So Lucifer continued.

"Pardon me? Violet, you appear to be overheating. How come? I would assume your clothing is revealing enough skin to make that impossible..."

Aaand Violet's brain shut down as well.

"Should I help you?" he hummed, stepping even closer. "In comparison to you, I seem to maintain a way cooler head than you do..."

And, being the most flustered he has ever been, Lucifer continued to tease the shit out of Violet for as long as he felt the need to...

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

The group was about to dissolve and (finally) head back to work.

The girls, however, had stayed back for a strategy meeting.

"This is bad", Clover blabbered as she was trying to calm down. "I couldn't get up to them with shirts on, how am I supposed to even TALK to any of them when they're in maximum sexy mode?! And it's not only maximum hotness, but did all of them collectively agree to unlock their secret teasing-modes, too?!"

Violet gave a blushing shrug. "... Are you complaining, though?"

"Hnngh... No... But I'm so short on points... If I don't start playing risky, I'll loose..."

Violet smirked at that.

"Yeah" she agreed. "That's a good idea. Look, Solomon's over there all alone, why don't y-"

"Nope” lover interrupted her immediately. “Not going to happen. Nope. I'd rather go up to the demon prince himself. I'd rather get killed by Barbatos TBH."

"Oh, you would get killed..." Violet shivered, thinking back of what happened in the store room earlier.

"Don't care" Clover persisted. "Like, come, demon lord, if I was to touch Solomon's tail today, you may kill me right this instant...!"

A Trip into the Factory

Summary: Maude gets invited into the factory for the first time in years. Chaos and fluff ensues.

A/N: This really is an excuse for me to try and write Wonka a little better. It's not too great I'll admit that, but I'm still getting used to writing him, lmaoooo.

It was a typical Tuesday afternoon for Maude, which mainly included grading assignments and checking over the kids work.

However, there was one thing different about this Tuesday. Charlie invited her over to the factory for dinner.

Usually she'd be happy to visit the Buckets, the only set back here was actually going into the factory.

Ever since Wonka and her reunited, things had been a little rocky. Maude was always busy with her students, and tried to creating some order in her schedule. Will was busy mentoring Charlie around the factory. There wasn't any time for them to really connect.

"Sure, I think she would thoroughly enjoy the factory, heh." Willy said, trying very hard to seem confident.

"And, when you're done, we can have dinner with my family." Charlie smiled with excitement.

"Yeah." Will gulped, slightly.

This was one of Willy Wonka's rare moments where he was uncertain. Usually, he knew exactly how people would react when entering the factory, but Maude was a different story. She helped sculpt every room when it was first built.

Willy had planned on asking Maude to move in with him before she got married. Being business partners was one thing, but being actually together was another. He knew from the start on why he didn't like her husband. Even during the wedding, Willy tried to be supportive of her. Hell, he even made especially for her a dozen chocolate roses. His feelings for her never really went away. He just wanted her to be happy.

After being isolated from the world for over 15 years, it really took a toll on how he interacted with others.

Meanwhile, Maude was dealing with her own worries. She looked at herself in the mirror, constantly overthinking.

She needed to leave in about 30 minutes, and that wasn't enough time either. Maude rummaged through her closet desperately searching for something to wear. Eventually, she found a brown dress that was casual enough to wear without looking completely overdressed.

She slipped on some heels and grabbed her coat before heading out the door. She was lucky the factory was walking distance from her house, but when the gates opened, she was extremely hesitant to go inside.

'Come on, Maude. Don't be pathetic.' She thought as her hand was just inches away from the door.

She bit her lip, tapping her gloved fist against the cold steel door.

Suddenly, there was a click and the door swung open. Maude stepped back, surprised a little at the sudden opening of the door.

Wonka stood just a little bit outside the door. He smiled, greeting Maude at the door.

"Heh, welcome, Maude." Will flashed a big smile at her.

She smiled back, taking off her coat. "It's quite warm in here, Will."

"Ah yes. It's because of my oompa loompas. They just can't stand the cold."

Maude tilted her head at Will. "Right, and what are oompa loompas again?"

Charlie had told her about these 'oompa loompas' but she wasn't entirely sure about what they are.

"Oh, well, they're my workers. They were directly imported from Loopmaland." Will explained as the two walked down the large hall.

"Loopmaland? I've never heard of that place before." Maude seemed to look even more confused.

"Well, I discovered it while I was searching the world of exotic candy." Will hummed.

Maude couldn't help, but be amazed at the amount of things Will had done throughout the years. Maude felt that she didn't really accomplish anything. After she left Ron, she mostly did boring adult stuff. When she worked in the factory, Maude felt unique and carefree. Will would listen to all her ideas for different kinds of mixtures. She remembered a time where she felt happy being in the factory, because it almost was a sanctuary to her.

The hallway began to get slimmer and slimmer. Soon enough Maude and Willy crouched down to get to the very small door at the end of the hallway.

"I don't remember the chocolate room being this small." Maude joked, trying not to hit her head on the suddenly short ceiling.

Willy shook his head. "It's not. Just watch."

Just as he turned the key, a whole world was opened up for Maude. Her eyes widened. Her lips parted at the view.

It was meadows of gorgeous green grass, and luscious chocolate river that flowed throughout the factory.

There was buttercups at her feet, and a jelly pumpkin on her right.

Maude felt overwhelmed with joy. "You did all this?" Her voice was below a whisper.

Willy smiled wide. "Yeah, I did."

Maude turned to Willy, smiling dreamily at him. "Wow.." Her body suddenly when limp, as she passed out in a sudden trance.

Willy panicked, catching her before she hit the ground. "Maude? Maude!!"

She snapped out of her trance. "Yes? Yes! I'm awake."

Will took a deep breath. "Heh, good. I was worried that I killed ya there."

Maude chuckled, blushing slightly by the way Wonka was holding her.

Wonka seemed to noticed it too. He cleared his throat. "Well, let's get a move on. There's lots of things I wanna show you."

He set Maude back down on her feet. She chuckled nervously, still amazed at the view.

Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of low drumming. A purple sea horse shaped boat pulled up right next to Willy and Maude.

"Hop on board!" Willy stepped onto the boat, with Maude following behind.

The Oompa Loompas seemed to be chattering amongst themselves and chuckling.

"What are they laughing about?" Maude chuckled.

He laughed nervously. "Surely, it's from all those doggone coca beans. They're a bit of a handful."

Maude smiled. "They seem quite lovely. I think I got a report from Charlie, talking about living with the Oompa Loompas. It was incredibly-"

"Weird?" Willy interrupted.

"Yeah, but, a good kind of weird." Maude chuckled. "You're a great mentor."

Willy's smile faltered slightly. "Well, I have to get him prepared to run this factory. There's not a lot of people I could trust to hold the secret recipes, and keep them secret."

"Right."

"I guess the only other person would be you."

Maude's expression shifted from happiness to a bit of sadness. She attempted to smile. "Thank you, Will."

She stared blankly for a few seconds. She began to remember Ron's horrid yelling.

"You'll always be in his shadow, Maude. Don't you want your own factory? He stole most of your ideas, Maude. A few of his would be nothing."

Maude would always refuse to steal from Will. Ron would call her a coward. Still, this torment would go on for hours, until she resigned.

The boat began to diverge into a dark tunnel. Maude's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the Oompa Loompas drumming as it began to get faster and faster.

"Can they see where they're going?" Maude said, as she turned to Willy.

"Hehe, no." Will chuckled. "There's no telling where they're going."

Maude's face turned pale as she held on to the side of the boat.

The boat suddenly took sharp dive right into the tunnel. The boat looped and turned as chocolate splashed its sides. Maude suddenly had her arms around Wonka's, holding onto dear life. Will looked over at her a little surprised. In most situations, Will despised human contact. Here, he was just amused. Even when he was a little boy, he hates when adults touched his hair, or even when they lightly tapped his shoulder. However, he was very loose when it came to Maude. She didn't appreciate close contact either, but in very few moments, Maude would casually touch his hand accidentally. She would always say sorry, but it was strange because Will didn't mind it. It was an odd connection between the two. They really just couldn't explain it.

Maude was still holding onto Will as the boat came to a stop. She sighed in relief, but quickly let go of Will.

"Sorry." Maude muttered.

Will gulped. "No matter. Let's continue."

The boat had stopped in front of the experimentation room, a place where Maude was quite familiar with.

"The experiments room. I'm pretty sure you know this one, heh." Will said, hoping off the boat.

Maude looked around, admiring the enormous amounts of lab equipment, as well as different kinds of experiments. "Oh, wow. It's gotten quite modernized."

"You're darn right. I've testing out a ton of new candy, but sometimes it's so hard to focus on one." Willy turned towards a big machine. He turned it on and out came a single stick of gum.

"This piece, right here, is a full 3 course dinner all in itself."

Maude picked up the stick of gum, and simply looked at it.

"I wouldn't eat it. There's still a few things wrong with the mixture."

"I see, and what seems to be wrong with it." Maude carefully set the stick back down.

"Well, it's ok, once it gets to the end. It's the blueberry pie that does it. I've tried it on like 20 Oompa Loompas, and each one ended up like a giant blueberry."

"Do you think it's because you made the mixture of the pie too strong?" Maude examined the sample closely, just before sticking it in her mouth.

"Yeah, well." Will's eyes widened as she stuck the gum in her mouth. "Just spit it out once it gets too sweet."

The flavors were very incredible, however it didn't mask the faint blueberry aftertaste that plagued each flavor. Once it got a but too sweet, she immediately spat it out.

Will looked at her with a bit of disgust. He kept a bit of a distance from her. After a few moments, nothing happened.

"I think I know the problem. The blueberry pie mixture is too strong. It masks all the other flavors with a sweet aftertaste." Maude put the gum in the nearest trash can. "If you eliminate that strong aftertaste, then I believe the gum should be just fine."

Willy's expression turned from disgust to ecstatic in a matter of seconds. He grabbed Maude by the hand, and shook it vigorously. "Maude, you're a genius. Absolutely incredible. I don't get why I didn't think of that sooner."

Maude smiled slightly. "This is just like old times. Remember when we were experimenting with those fizzy lifting bubbles? We flew so high. We almost lost our heads."

"Yeah, haha. I remember." Will nodded, still holding onto Maude's hand.

"I remember Ron being so worried." Maude laughed.

Willy's smile soon faded. "Yeah, him."

Hearing that name again really made Will's blood boil. He had an idea what was happening with Maude and Ron. Will had really hoped Maude would choose candy making over Ron, because that's what made her happy.

His gloved hand had a tight hold on Maude's. "It's really weird, heh."

"What is?" Maude asked.

"Being here with you. I just would've figured you'd always be with me, making candy in the factory."

"Well, I'm here right now."

"That's not what I mean."

Maude tilted her head up at him, a little confused. They looking into each other's eyes for a moment. His gorgeous purple eyes burrow deep into her dark chocolate ones.

He leaned in, giving Maude a tiny peck on the lips. It was quick and painless. Still, it made Maude go red as a cherry.

Willy giggled, wiping the tiny kiss off his lips.

"W-wow.." Maude muttered. "That was unexpected." She blinked for a few moments, promptly pinching herself, before even realizing what had happened.

"Heh, I've always wanted to try that." Will said, smiling wide. "Kissing is so weird."

"But it's a good kind of weird." Maude chuckled, as she pulled Will into another kiss.

This was so much better than she could've imagined.

The funniest thing about june teasing katara and zuko about being a couple is that she just sees a pretty girl and an attractive guy, both looking almost the same age which immediately makes her go "you two must be a couple" and it just reminds me of zvtara shippers, you know what i mean? I'm convinced one of the reasons a lot of ppl ship them is bc of their looks. katara being the female protagonist and also a pretty, smart and powerful girl & zuko, despite not being the male protagonist, being the most attractive guy in the gaang. Boom, a "bomb ass ship". It is worth to recall that "people ship zutara bc they projected onto katara and had a crush on zuko". And if they say they don't ship them for that reason, then it's bc they read too much between the lines in every interaction they have. So, back to june, she didn't even care if they had chemistry or if they were friends or anything, she just straight up teased them about being a couple lmao. Because in all honesty zvtara can be an appealing ship in anyone's eyes but THAT'S IT, it doesn't go further than that. I can be testimony of that😅Before even watching the show i was like june, one day i saw a zk fanart and was like "wow aren't those zuko and katara from atla? They look so good, she's gorgeous and he's hot" i already knew kataang was endgame and that mai was zuko's love interest but seeing zuko and katara together was pleasing to my eyes. However once i watched the show for the first time (2 months ago i think) i realized there was really no romantic chemistry between them, nothing, literally nothing, i mean, i wasn't even waiting for the zvtara content in the show that made ppl ship them so much, i was actually very neutral about ships, i couldn't care less about them, but i still realized nothing was happenig between them and that it was obvious since book 1 ep 1 that kataang was endgame. Zuko and katara were two teenagers from opposite sides of a war that tried to kill each other multiple times and when zuko changed sides they developed a completely platonic relationship. As i said, people either ship them because it's an appealing and aesthetically pleasing ship (water/fire, enemies to lovers, opposites attract, the common red & blue ship) or they just love reading too much between the lines, OR BOTH, because they were so thirsty about it they ended up convincing themselves there was romantic tension between them, that they liked each other and that zvtara was scrapped when it was never planned in the first place. Not to mention the reasons why they claim zvtara should've been endgame are based only on symbolism and things they have in common that are just so ??? Random. e.g. (i saw these on a post on facebook and the comment section was hilarious, it was full of ppl being sarcastic about it & making fun of it) saying they should've been canon bc:

1. "They both lost their mothers at a young age" (?)

2. "katara was good but had rage in her heart and zuko was bad but had good in his heart so it was like yin and yang, and that was the main purpose/topic of the show" (?)

3. "they both had alter egos (painted lady and blue spirit)" (???) this one sounds like saying maiko was canon bc zuko worked in a tea shop and mai worked in a flower shop😂

4. "Zuko was the only one who supported katara in taking revenge on her mom's assassin" (?) if you ask me, that just proves zuko is not right for katara, he led her to do something she was gonna regret later (not trying to hate on zuko, i love him, and since i love him i acknowledge his flaws. I understand why he thought it was the best thing to do, he's an impulsive and resentful boy (he would've done the same if it was his mom) and he noticed how thirsty katara was for revenge, ofc he wanted to help her + he wanted her to accept him and thought it was the right thing to do in order to gain her trust, but it wasn't) unlike zuko, aang tried to make katara come to her senses and do the thing that was best for her: forgive and let go, and it was basically what she did at the end. She didn't do what zuko expected her to do. She did what aang expected her to do. She didn't forgive her mom's assassin, but she forgave zuko, and she didn't do THAT thing she (and aang) knew would regret later. Aang knew katara and what was the best thing for her to do.

5. and the most ridiculous one, "they both saved each other's lives in the final agni kai"(???????) and the funniest part is that it was followed by "WHAT MORE PROOFS DO YOU WANT???". Honestly wtf did ppl expect? Did they expect zuko to stand there and watch katara die? Did they expect katara to just stand there and watch zuko lay on the floor & die? And this has been said a million times and i am going to join and say it once again: zuko would've done that for ANYONE from the gaang, he would've done the same for toph, sokka, suki and aang. Because he learned to care about them. As for katara, she would've done that for anyone too wtf she healed aang once too and even brought him back to life. (I wouldn't be surprised if zk shippers used that as a parallel for romantic zvtara proof bc they're just like that💀)

There were more "reasons" but they're just so stupid and taken out of context like "they care for each other" & "katara was the one who encouraged him to talk to his uncle" like yeah that's what friends do. Basically all zvtara shippers do is REACH.

Also, i just can't see it happening. I like the enemies to lovers trope, maybe if the writers really intended to make it canon, i would have been down for the ship, it would've been interesting to see how it developed, but,, they didn't, and later i came to the realization that if it would've really happened, it would've been so... weird. Time to bring up the "colonized and colonizer ship" and how some ppl feel uncomfortable about it. Besides the fact that a relationship between zuko and katara wouldn't have worked (they're incompatible af, katara is a girl with a strong character and zuko is a guy with anger issues that takes everything personal, they'd be at each other's throats 99% of the time) it's just weird to think that katara would choose to marry a man from the fire nation, the nation that caused a big war that traumatized her, the nation that took her mother away from her. Imagine katara ruling along with zuko a nation she despised for years. Fire lady katara doesn't sit right with me, and i'm sure it doesn't sit right with a lot of ppl as well. I don't see katara doing that, and yes, i know she forgave zuko, but still, she would've never done that 🤦🏽‍♀️ i think it would've been so OOC tbh.

Another thing i laugh my ass off at is when they say "zuko should've chosen katara instead of mai" as if they were ever in a relationship for zuko to say "ok imma choose katara i wanna be with her". As if katara was EVER an option for him. They never showed interest in each other, what's not clicking?????? And zuko only had eyes for mai, not to mention that despite zuko and mai had a rough relationship, no girl would've dealed with zuko's bs better than mai. Can you imagine katara dealing with zuko blowing up over everything? Because i can't. Also people saying things like "zuko deserves someone who is always there for him and listens to him" (and ofc they're talking about katara) like, ok, you hate that katara is aang's "therapist" but you want her to be zuko's therapist. Logic? Where? And I do remember mai being a supportive gf and trying to cheer him up multiple times. Did they watch the same show as me?

Zvtarians try to play the victims about how they were "robbed" bc some voice actors shipped them and from what i've read people who worked for the show suggested to go for zk, but that's stupid, it doesn't count as "they planned it but scrapped it, we were robbed". The only word that counts are the creators' voice and they have stated they were always rooting for kataang, so no, you were not robbed.

People are just so in love with the idea of zuko and katara together they really convinced themselves it was likely to happen. Honestly zvtara it's a fine ship as fanon but ppl ruined it for me and what i hate the most is when they ship it and hate on aang and mai at the same time and make them look SO bad to invalidate kataang and maiko. Saying aang is abusive and mai is toxic is complete ✨bullshit✨ and lastly, it's ridiculous when they say the creators were cowards for not making it canon. They're cowards for not fulfilling your greatest childhood wish? Something they never planned? It is THEIR show. If you hate sm how things turned out then quit atla once and for all and go find another show that you know is gonna give you what you expect,,, it's tiring that they've been crying about it for 15 yrs , like, i joined the fandom recently but i can imagine how tired old atla fans must be of this.

OK so I have a lot of thoughts about this and firstly,,,anon I appreciate the dedication that it took for you to write  this, and I agree with many of your points. However, the attitude I have on this blog towards Avatar ships is far more neutral than what you’re saying.

Ultimately, romance is not and never was the focus of Avatar. Romantic development was always secondary or tertiary plot, and the entire show was far more focused on platonic relationship development. My attitude towards shippers on here - including Zutara shippers - is that people can ship what they want, as long as they’re respectful of each other and of the other characters that “interfere” with their ship. End of the day, shipping is irrelevant to the core of the show. 

People shipping something because they find it aesthetically appealing is honestly,,,fine. Personally, I think it’s reductionist, but I don’t care if you do because everyone has the right to enjoy media however they want to. 

That being said, we absolutely should call out racist or problematic tropes that we see, including ‘fire lady katara”. I also agree that it’s upsetting when people bash other characters in order to further their ship, as much of the bashing is also pretty racist and/or misogynistic. Calling that out, however, is separate from calling out every single person who happens to enjoy certain ships. 

“She didn't do what zuko expected her to do. She did what aang expected her to do. She didn't forgive her mom's assassin, but she forgave zuko, and she didn't do THAT thing she (and aang) knew would regret later. Aang knew katara and what was the best thing for her to do.”

I understand where you’re coming from, but I honestly disagree with this take. Both Aang and Zuko were approaching the situations from their own life experiences, but Katara didn’t do what either of the boys wanted. She chose her own path, by both sparing Yon Rha’s life but also refusing to forgive him. The episode is about Katara and her personal trauma and its focus should not be on her relationships with either Zuko or Aang. 

When I make posts such as this, it’s less about hating Z*tara and more about how this fandom focuses all its attention on romance and shipping, to the point where if you acknowledge a relationship’s importance it’s assumed you pair the two romantically. I don’t read Zuko and Katara’s relationship as romantic (for reasons that it would take too long to explain here), but their relationship development is extremely important, the two of them share tons of parallels and the final Agni Kai marks the culmination of both of their character arcs. Yes, Zuko would have taken the lightning for any of the characters, but it’s thematically important that it was Katara. None of this inherently means it’s romantic, but refusing to acknowledge the significance of the relationship between them is equally reductionist. 

This isn’t an attack on you, anon, and you’re 100% allowed to have negative feelings about a ship. But at the end of the day, it’s not worth getting this worked up over. If I were you I’d focus more on creating/consuming content for a ship you like than bashing ships you don’t!

Woop-de-doo, it's Lord Scarlet stuff part 2

This was a post I planned on making WAY sooner, but I accidentally lost the original draft so I didn't even bother to try doing it gain until recently. And just now something happened that changed everything; and I mean what both DID and DIDN'T automatically give me the right to post this. I almost deleted my first post at that, and here's why:

In the first post, I mentioned that when I initially found out Vic was lying to me, I was quiet about it and just stopped talking to her out of fear, and then when I asked for help on what to do I was told to leave without a word. I don't think that was entirely the right thing to do in the long run, because it may have been the easiest way out but I'm better off with proper closure.

And the thoughts she left me scarred with never left my head. Time and time again, I'd find myself crying myself to sleep again at the thought of Brock forced to hide romantic feelings for Master Frown and not know who he was anymore while Frown was left unaware and in love with someone else, even if it wasn't Lord Scarlet.

And the pain sometimes came with a want to confront Vic one last time and open up to her about how I wasn't blind anymore, and how much she really hurt me. But I, again, wass scared she wouldn't care and would cut me off.

So when the pain got worse, I did what any coward would do: tell everyone else about my pain.

Now I DID tell friends of mine other than the Unikitty Amino staff about what happened, and they were all sympathetic and understanding about it. But then I told almost everyone, and then made my vent post on here (as well as Wattpad). As much as I wouldn't want to call them call out posts, they might as well have been. I didn't want people to harass Vic and make her mad...but at the same time I kinda did. I was too scared to face her that I was hoping that someone would do it for me. I even tagged accounts of Vic's. Not cool of me at all.

Now the Tumblr and Wattpad posts got me pretty much more of the same: sympathy, and acceptance that I had moved on. No one came after Vic but we could still agree that none of her actions were justified (I even got @careeningle's attention...sorry about the aneurysm)

Now comes the next important thing that happened, because I mentioned @friffinx kinda being responsible for me getting back to the Lord Scarlet Amino to write the message that I did. In it, I said that after I sent the message I did I would leave the Amino again & for good.

Well...I lied. I still checked in every day for the same reason I started venting: I kinda wanted Vic to see my message. Even if she'd ban me, I wanted to see if she'd ever notice my message. And that would've been the end of it if it wasn't for Brook.

I briefly mentioned Brook in the last post. She was another OC of Vic's, and was exactly to Brock what Lord Scarlet was to Master Frown; a carbon copy love interest. Except Lord Scarlet was far more developed and drawn & written about more. Brook didn't even really have a distinct personality, she was a girl Brock and that was it. But with reptilian overlord eyes. (To be fair, Vic drew Brock like that sometimes too)

(I didn't include Vic's art unless it was in chat bgs or whatever in the last post, but for the sake of referencing/proving a point, this is what Brook looks like)

No one really paid attention to her for the longest time. She was there in the fanfics because according to Vic, "Scarlet needed a friend." And like I said in the first post, Brook wasn't said to be canon so I never found a reason to really care for her. Plus I can only recall someone giving Vic fanart with her, and it was with Scarlet (@plastic-papercuts made it, go follow her she's gr8).

But then one day, for some reason, something in me clicked. I actually thought of a story idea for her. Somehow this bland cutout of a character had potential in my eyes, and I weirdly started liking her because of it. She suddenly felt...more real. I got pretty invested in my idea and newfound interpretation of Brook, and describing it would make this post way longer than it is so if anyone asks about it, I'll probably make a whole other post about it.

Anyway, I came up with a little plan: draw out this idea in the form of a comic and post it to the Lord Scarlet Amino. And see if Vic gets suspicious and checks out my profile and then maybe bans me. It felt a bit better than total silence and she'd probably see that someone gave a crap about Brook after all.

So I started a new chat called "It's Brook" to share my progress with the other members of the Amino, which there weren't too many of but we had fun in it. It was basically me, @friffinx , @soapycocacola, @plastic-papercuts, and a few others who aren't on Tumblr (or at least don't think are) chatting about how awful Vic was and calling out her lazy art tactics like tracing and using assets/clips right from the show. And of course me sharing the comic progress I was making. Again, this doesn't make anything we did right but it felt good getting everything off our chests. We were like a secret rebellion against an absentee dictator. One time Vic came online as we were chatting and even viewed my profile, but nothing happened. And it stayed that way until I opened Amino up one morning. For those of you who don't have it, the menu shows all the communities you're in when you open the app, and all of mine were there except for the Lord Scarlet Amino. I assumed I must've been banned overnight. But I wasn't banned from Vic's other Amino so I commented on her wall on that one. For Vic's sake, I won't show how the conversation went (and I'll explain why at the end) but here's how it went:

Me: Did you ban me from the LS Amino?

Her: There was drama in one of the chat rooms and I'm not having it. I didn't want to do it and it's not a big deal It's just an amino and you're still on this one AM I RIGHT?

Me: Yes, but I assume you read my updated bio. As I hoped you would.

Her: Nope.

Me: Oh. But you know what? Ban me from here too for all I care, I feel like you deserve to know why I left and came back: *insert me finally telling her how I know she lied, that she hurt me, and what I did was wrong here*

Her: Lol ok be that person but keep in mind that I'm one of those people that doesn't gibe a fuck lol

And then she banned me from that Amino too before I could type and submit a fitting farewell reply.

At least I finally got all the built-up emotional pain out of me, but it did help me realize something important: we never really were friends. I wanted more of her content despite all her red flags as a person so I tried enduring them, thinking it'd be worth it, and she only kinda cared about me when I was being a yes man. She never kept any promises and didn't respect me the same way I did her. So I could at least feel confident knowing she most likely didn't care at all when I first left.

@friffinx and the others didn't get banned, though, and Friff even started another chat on the LS Amino called "It's Brook 2" where they talked more about Vic being a terrible person. And it didn't take long for her to shut that chat down too and ban everyone from it that time. Friff sent me screenshots of what happened next (which again, I'm not gonna show), where Vic basically had a meltdown. She changed her username to "Little Miss Guillotine", and made a post about her being "finished with the bushit". In it, she announced that she didn't even like Unikitty! anymore but was still gonna keep/use Lord Scarlet because she wanted to. The part that made my blood almost boil wasn't her views on the show, she's free to have her opinion and I couldn't care less about it. What DID was that she acknowledged that she lied the whole time because "she didn't care anymore" and said that it was "our faults for believing it in the first place" and that "we needed to grow up"/"stop brining it up"

Ooooh boy, victim blaming, my favortie...

Since then she changed the Lord Scarlet Amino's theme to make it about The Penguins of Madagacar (again, fine with me). Either way she was still a narcissist and I thought she'd, sadly, likely never change. And my friends and I all thought that was the end of it.

Until a few hours ago...

I was browsing the Unikitty Amino and saw a new member named BlueCat. Didn't think anything else of it until the user PMed me. And this is what happened:

I didn't know what to think other than "I thought this day would never come", I was that shaken. This was so left field-ish that what else could I do but believe her? It didn't even seem suspicious or like she was trying to be a suck up, that wasn't Vic at all.

But the one thing I knew I had to do was ban her because even if she meant well and did it for the right(?) reasons, but I still asked if I should in the staff chat. @girly-glorious (also amazing so pls check her out :D) told me that yes, it was ban evasion so since I'm a leader too now I could to it on my own. But I knew I had to message Vic first and Girly told me to be careful, so this is what I sent:

And then I banned her, the end (not really)

Now I don't understand how or why this sudden behavior change happened but I don't know if I should question it in case it's personal. But again, I at least want to believe that she's really being genuine and had a change of heart because never in a million years could I imagine her being this mature. Again, she didn't demand that I forgive me or probably even expect me to. But the message still does leave me feeling sorry for her.

Now I thought that was the real end of it until I see the Penguins of Madagascar/old Lord Scarlet Amino on my sideboard.

She unbanned me.

Now I don't know where we'll go from here, if anywhere. I'm not too sure if I can really let my guard down around someone who hurt me so badly just in case she does it again. So I may not talk to her again, but if she really asks something from me, I might try and build up courage to ask her more about how she came to apologizing to me. Plus she followed me on Wattpad too.

But this is why I didn't show our conversation right before my ban or her "f.u." posts. Because I don't want people seeing more of Vic's past behavior and possibly embarrassing her about it if she ever sees this. But that's kinda why I felt like it was 100% necessary to finally make a sequel post in the end; I'm hoping people at least acknowledge Vic has changed and don't keep thinking about based on what I shared out of attempts to gain sympathy like a crybaby.

So before I go: PLEASE, DON'T GO AFTER OR HARASS VIC. I KNOW YOU PROBABLY WON'T, BUT THIS IS SERIOUS. ALL THE PROBLEMATIC LORD SCARLET DRAMA IS STUFF OF THE PAST AND NEITHER OF US WANT TO KEEP LOOKING BACK ON IT.

I hope this helps whoever's reading as much as it did me.

[scummy-writes]

oh no worries!! yeah, i was a little nervous about putting my url in there but that is totally fine! i'm SO sorry about that!! um, my question was how can i start my mystic messenger HC profile going? im not sure if i should start reblogging stuff from MM blogs i love or if i should just try to focus on posting original content. again, super sorry about that, my bad! i adore your writing and i hope your life gets a little less hectic from here on out. have a great day!

Ahh, don’t worry so much about the url thing, I’m not offended or upset.

I haven’t really talked about me being uncomfortable shouting blogs out randomly before. I’m sorry I had to use your message as an example, but I also wanted to answer the rest of the ask. I’m sorry I made you uncomfortable.

I have written about this in the past, and so I am going to link to where I’ve talked about this before, (Here!) But I am also going to include a few new tips since, well, that post is from Oct of 2017.

In regards to your question- I would try and focus on original content first. I know that might be weird to see me say, as for a while I had a constant queue going on this blog, and nowadays I mainly just reblog other’s posts rather than making new content, but there are reasons for that.

If you make your blog pure reblogs, all anyone is going to come to your blog and see, first and foremost, that you seem to be a reblog blog and nothing else. It’s good to build up a small following based on the content you produce to where, mainly, a majority of your followers are there because they know you write and like your writing.

It’s hard to get a following for the content you produce if you don’t produce any, and if you focus on fandom reblogs instead.

Does that make sense? If not, send me another ask and I’ll try to explain it better.

Expanding on old tips with some new:

- Make sure your blog is easy to navigate on both desktop and mobile.

With this I mean including hotlinks onto your description for mobile like I have here:

This is so people can easily find out where I post my fics, my masterlist, and (back when I used to accept requests) my rules. It’s handy for mobile users. The coding for this is:

    (put word you want to have as the link here)   

Of course, remove the shitton of spaces I put there so the coding shows up, but that’s an easier way for folks on mobile to view the important links you have on your blog.

For desktop, make sure your theme allows the text to be seen clearly. 

Good example:

Tumblr makes the text a bit blurry in this picture (thanks you pos site), but the text shows up well with the background, isn’t too hard on the eyes, unlike this-

Bad example:

With my theme, this box is a bit small, the text isn’t as bright as it could be to ensure readability, and it kind of hurts my eyes. I have no idea why I set it up like this, but since people don’t really visit my blog much anymore I’m way too lazy to change it.

- Harrassment. I really didn’t think the harassment issue in the mm fandom could get any worse- from the hard r*ka discourse and the constant bullshit discourse of shipping wars that is prevalent in every god damned fandom, but now zines and supporters of some zines have received even worse harassment than the basic stuff. A good thing to do with this is to try your best not to let it get to you, and block whoever is sending you the messages. That’s it. There’s bullshit baiting on this site constantly that says if you don’t answer rude ass, unjustified, hateful anons, then you’re a ‘coward’ or some ridiculous bullshit- and that’s exactly what it is- bullshit. The block button is there for a reason, and don’t be afraid to use it.

- Do not get upset if your blog doesn’t take off. Firstly, I’m sorry if this comes out as negative, but please, please, do not beat yourself up if your blog doesn’t get popular. Please just do this for fun, and if you receive a lack of notes on your posts, I can guarantee the main reason for that is going to be because this game has been out for almost three years now. I can promise that the main reason, and probably nearly the sole reason, that my blog took off was because I started it two years ago when the fandom for the game was still booming. And yes, the fandom for this game is still alive, but it’s dwindled significantly. A large number of blogs I followed for MM content have moved on to other things, and with Cheritz refusal to update us more with the promised After Ends/Ssum, people are dropping out pretty fast. 

That is not your fault, and will never be your fault. It’s probably going to be hard getting a lot of followers, if that's your goal, for your content with how long the games been out, but in no way will that ever mean your writing is bad, or less, or anything negative. 

I’m probably incoherent, but my end point is to Not Beat Yourself Up if your note count on posts isn’t high. Don’t compare your posts with blogs that have been out for a while, don’t think that your writing is bad- Keep your head up and keep doing what makes you happy, and please god don’t get in the mindset of comparing yourself to others, because it’s a hard hole to climb out of once you dig it.

that sounds really negative but wheeze please just do this for fun. Please keep it for fun, because otherwise, from at least my personal experience, it can be very draining if you don’t keep it at the ‘for fun’ part.
