hi! romantic stan and kenny (separate) x reader whos afraid of the dark? like they could be hanging out and then the power cuts off? thanks ! <3
Stan and Kenny with scared of the dark Reader
Warnings: none
Tumblr media
Notes: Gender-Neutral, also assuming they’re already dating reader. Sorry for it being a little short!
Stan Marsh
The way I see this happening would be during the very first time Stan invited you over to his house.
After weeks of dating, Stan finally felt ready to actually have you over at his house for the first time, without getting nauseous.
He told you that he wanted you to be over at 6:30 to watch a movie together, the whole time he was mentally panicking and pacing around his room on what to do.
What genres do you like? What if you don’t even like movies, maybe a show?
After you eventually came over and was sitting on the same couch as him, big achievement, light rain started pouring.
None of you minded it, well, not until there was thunder.
Stan could tell you seemed uneasy, so he held your hand, not knowing that it was because of the sky getting increasingly darker over time.
The last thing Stan expected was to hear a quick but loud scream from you as the TV shut off in-front of your eyes.
You unexpectedly grabbed onto his arm, not really meaning to like that. Nonetheless, Stan knew he shouldn’t be so happy at your action considering how terrified you seemed.
A phone flashlight was the best he could do for now, trying to comfort you the best he could even though he really isn’t that type of guy.
The best way that Stan can comfort you is through physical contact and affection, but he doesn’t know it you would be uncomfortable with that or not.
He really does care about you, he just needs to learn how to express it better.
Whenever you both have sleepovers together, Stan always remember to turn on a nightlight or keep a small light on for you just in case.
It would make him upset to know that you’re uncomfortable or scared, so he tries his best to cater towards your fear.
Since then, Stan has tried his best to help you improve and lose your fear of the dark, not caring how long it’ll take.
Stan has also gained a habit of buying you packs of glow sticks, the ones from any dollar store that you snap to light.
He wants you to always have light, in a way where you can remember him without being scared at the same time.
“I want you to think of me when you light these, okay?”
Kenny Mccormick
I feel that Kenny would be more experienced with fears like this.
Kenny has Karen to take care of, so she most likely has a fear of the dark or something similar.
Even though he doesn’t live in the best area or environment, he wants to hangout with you, which is why he invites you over.
Kenny knows that you would never judge him for his lifestyle or being poor, which is why he trusts and loves you so much.
His options were limited, but he didn’t really want to spend another day at Stark’s pond, talking about things you would both forget about the next day.
Once you came over to his house later on in the day, he took you straight to his room without even engaging with anything going on in the living room.
Kenny pulled out a box from inside his closet, revealing a board game for you both to play.
Throughout the game, there were multiple light flickers and such. You thought it was normal, normal until all the lights in his house cut out.
You didn’t know if it was the weather, problem with the electricity, or even the bills not being paid, but the cause didn’t matter as you immediately reacted.
Kenny saw how your reaction shifted playing parts on the board, shaking and speaking in an unsteady tone.
He moved over and took you into his arms, trying his best to comfort you as much as he could.
Even though Kenny was still hooded and you couldn’t really understand what he was saying, it made you feel more comforted for some reason.
Kenny would be the best at comforting you with his words and actions, even though he’s more of a physical affection guy.
He cares about you a lot, a lot to where he saved all of his money to buy you a small but portable flashlight.
Since then, you and Kenny’s relationship has grown closer, and you love how he’s considerate enough to do these things for you.
Don’t worry, you paid him back for the flashlight.
“I know it’s not much, but I want to help you as much as I can.”

Oh, this is very interesting. I assume you mean like from the DR3 anime, so (rubs hands together)
DR69:
Luigi - going into a room with the lights on (as no. 2, isn’t it your duty to be in the dark? Also this could stir up some interesting situations in the dark)
Mario - running or jumping (can’t yahoo his way out of this one)
Peter - talking (yep not a peep outta funny family moments guy, no cutaway gags no nothing, what will tiktoks use for footage now)
Brian - reading or writing (no books, no laptops, no pens. He won’t be needing them)
Miku - speaking in English (as an idol, it’s her goal to spread her voice to everyone around the world, so what if it was limited? She can still speak Japanese, and Chinese, but only a select few will understand her. Sure, it’s fine for those who can translate, but what if she was in a dire situation with someone who couldn’t…?)
Teto - Hatsune Miku dying (since she loves her so much, she’ll do anything to protect her, even if that goes for protecting her own life too)
Nagito - telling the truth (kinda like his despair disease, seems he can only lie or keep quiet… How can someone who hardly has any trust here gain any now?)
Sans - telling a joke/pun (at first this was gonna be a joke answer, but… it would be tough for him to remain serious in situations where he’d rather not be)
Parappa - crying (he really has to keep believing now, or else he’ll be clawing not to let all those emotions spill out)
Fluttershy - touching another animal participant that isn’t herself (therefore she cannot tend to any of them if the time comes)
Ashley - being more than a room apart from another person (ultimately forcing her to stick around people rather than isolate herself)
Ayano - not killing anyone in 20 days (this would really challenge her “yandere” persona, and reluctance to kill here)
2D - listening to music (this goes for music out of speakers, hearing someone sing, and even humming a tune. Man loves music so what if no song machine /album ref)
Mr. Krabs - giving or accepting a bargain (not just with money, but favours, requests, and payback all count too)
Dedede - fighting with another participant (whether physically or verbally)
The Conductor - witnessing any act of violence (since he is usually is very disregarding of other’s safety, especially during filming his own movies, perhaps now he has a chance to redeem himself with preventing danger)
DR96:
Hayasaka - giving the poison antidote he was provided to someone else (he can save someone else who triggered their action, at the cost of his own life…. (I smile deviously))
Kurumada - flirting with Hayasaka /JJJ ok but actually using his physical strength to protect someone (this goes for violent acts such as punching, or manual labour such as catching heavy objects from falling)
Mai - making eye contact with anyone (she’s such an outgoing, bubbly gal… so what if she could never meet someone eye to eye ever again? Never being able to look at the ones she loves properly… oh my)
Walter - telling a lie (cue a Walter White version of the Pinnochio scene from Shrek 3)
Jesse - swearing (Jesse don’t say “bitch” challenge impossible 5 dead 20 injured)
Saiki - using his telepathy to communicate (either open your mouth or say nothing, Saiki, your choice)
Kaidou - daydreaming (this includes roleplaying as the Jet Black wings and wearing his bandages and blazer over his shoulders, no more fantasies grow up boy /jjj)
Retsuko - raising her voice (this goes for her heavy metal screaming as well, she can’t stand up for herself anymore seeing as she mostly did it on her own in private)
Natsuki - being called “cute” (I think this would be simple but effective, cue her attempting to never share her forbidden action, and doing all she can to never be called such a thing, even going so far to be as rude as possible even if she doesn’t want to be)
Yuri - everyone does not die in 30 days (if she really wants everyone to die, she’ll do all that she can to make sure it happens before it’s too late for her. Whether she utilises their forbidden actions to do the trick or not is up for thought…)
Hiroshi - touching white objects (such as plates, paper, his own scarf… how practical can one practical boy be now?)
Brian - witnessing spiritual or supernatural activity (this could be talk of religion, going to the Shrine, reading books about such things, and anything to do with Mr. Devil…)
Bojack - participating in the consumption of alcohol (rip this guy IMMEDIATELY)
Latte - verbally conversing with a student (she can be around them, and use body language, but speaking is a no-no, so much for being a professor huh-)
L - performing any of his usual quirks (includes sitting with his knees up, eating sweets, holding things with his index finger and thumb etc., L be normal challenge)
Ena - changing emotional states (meaning they can’t go into their sad, drunk, depressed etc. states. Oh boy get ready for a challenge folks)

2, 7, 25, 26?
2. least favorite theory
I'm gonna get crucified for this, but I just don't think Jaiden was also a Federation experiment. She was 100% an employee and so many people are caught up in the experiment perspective that they not only ignore objective canon to say that she was an experiment to the point of them arguing about it, but they're also out here ignoring q!Baghera, the actual former Federation experiment
7. thoughts on cucurucho & the federation?
See I used to be Cucurucho's number one shooter, but then Osito Bimbo got switched out for Cucurucho and I was like. Stop being mean to Bobby! I could tell immediately that the Census Bureau was changed, though I thought at the time that Osito was like factory reset into Cucurucho. That was the first straw, and then my. My first ever Cellbit stream. Was the one where he ended up in the chainsaw torture hallway. And then with everything happening after Felps' kidnapping, I'm like. Wow. Who is defending you???
Awesome villains though I love that part
25. drop a lore hot take🔥 (or cold take🧊 who cares)
My hot lore take is that I think q!Jaiden fully deserves the amount of suspicion she's under. And it sucks that she's ended up like this, like she's literally tragic. But it's more or less a self-fulfilling prophecy. She isolated herself after Bobby's death, which was fine and all, perfectly understandable, but then Cucurucho really took advantage of that and decided to be "buddies" with her. And she's going into this friendship knowing that she'll be hated and that nobody will be able to trust her fully ever again, and, surprise! She's right! But just because she knows she's doing something wrong doesn't mean she doesn't deserve the consequences. It sucks that she is seeing the consequences of her own actions, but she is also literally best friends with an evil bear thing that has kidnapped and murdered and forcibly drugged people. She may realize that she's being gaslit and manipulated by the Feds/Cucurucho, but that doesn't mean that she doesn't deserve at least a little mistrust aimed her way after all Cucurucho has done and all she's excused it doing. She's chaos incarnate, but that doesn't come without consequences
26. favorite quote or moment
I think it has to be the time where q!Cellbit, out of panic trying to prove he didn't kidnap q!Roier when Roier was pretending to be held hostage by him aka the single least stable and trustworthy dude on the island at the time, and in a desperate attempt to get Roier to stop pretending to be gagged, he. He said, "Yeah, well, did you know Roier has a sex dungeon?", referring to Roier's Murder Torture Basement. The world stopped. Roier started screaming, "What the fuck! What the fuck!" Someone else in the room asked if Cellbit had firsthand experience in it. This was before Cellbit had really even properly started acknowledging his feelings for Roier, so he kinda just stammered a bit and tried leaving the room. This was one of the most pivotal Spiderbit streams ever, but not because of this. Maybe.

got distracted singing my way through your prompt list, thx.
“I’m not okay” + babyboy Marc Spector
I literally was about to clean my dorm but then I got this and you always give me such LOVELY REPLIES so I hoped right on it bestie.
Also, they way I was LITERALLY singing im not okay RIGHT WHEN YOU SENT THIS
***************
You woke up to Marc thrashing in the bed you shared, and while it took you a moment to find your bearings as you woke up, your hand immediately found his. You shake your head and blink awake, jumping into action, sitting up over him. You just knew something was wrong today, see seemed off and when you asked what it was, he insisted he was okay.
'I'm okay. I'm okay. I'm okay.' every time you asked, or even looked at him with worry. But he wasn't, and you knew it, but you'd never force him to talk to you. You'd be there to support him though. Always.
"Marc, baby." You softly carded one hand through his curls, while the other held his clammy hand. "Wake up honey, I'm right here. It's okay."
His eyes shot open, wide with terror, and his reaction was to shout and push you away, hand slapping harshly against your chest. It hurt a bit, but you knew he didn't mean to do it to you; he was still half in whatever his dream had kept him in.
"Fuck, baby I'm sorry" Marc sat up, taking your body in a strong hug, fingers digging into the fabric of your shirt. "I'm so, so sorry."
You hugged him back tightly, trying to ground him in reality. You grab your phone, turning on the flashlight and placing it under the blanket, a trick you learned early on dating Marc, the soft glow enough to help him see where he is and your features (and check if you're safe), but not being harsh on his eyes. "It's okay honey, I know"
"I never want to hurt you, I'm sorry."
"I know, baby"
"I couldn't see you; I thought you were her. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry" Marc began crying, you could tell by the crack in his voice, and the wetness that soon settled on your sleeve.
"It's okay, Marc, I know you didn't mean to hurt me. I promise it doesn't even hurt anymore" You wanted to lie and say it didn't hurt at all, but he'd know it was a lie. You needed him to trust you.
He took a shaky breath. "I'm not okay." He finally admitted. "I think... I think I'm broken"
You rub his back. "You're not broken. You just need help. Me, Jake and Steven want to help you. You just have to let us, when you're ready."
Marc still gripped you tightly. "I had a dream she..." He started, but hesitated.
"It's okay, beautiful boy. You can tell me if you want to, it's just a dream, she cant hurt you."
You felt him shake against your shoulder, then pulled back to look at you. You never had seen him cry before. He had cried around you, mostly in time like this, but always nestled in your grasp, hiding his face until the tears dried, and you both pretended it didn't happen. "No, baby, she hurt you" His eyes were puffy and his face still wet.
Oh.
He took another breath, hands on your shoulder as his eyes darted all over you, seeming to check for ingury. "She s-said since I took Randell, she was going too, going to take you and she started drowning you in the Mikvah bath and god, I don't know what THAT'S supposed to mean and I supposed I can add sacrilege to the list of things wrong with me, although I probably already crossed that line when I smashed my Kippah into the sidewalk, and I couldn't do anything I was just frozen and trying to move and I just wanted you screaming and fight and it just wouldn't end!" By the end of his explanation, he was tugged at his hair in frustration.
You waited to make sure he was done, then took his hands, kissing both knuckles. "Marc, baby, I'm safe, you're safe, she's gone. It's going to be okay, but I understand that was really scary. It must be awful to just watch and not be able do anything"
He nodded a bit, calming down. "Y-yeah"
"I'm no expert, but I don't think you can sin in a dream, but I can ask next time I go to Shabbat, not say anything about you of course, but if it makes you feel better to get that off your mind."
"That, um, that might be nice, actually. I have some really fucked up dreams. Might be good to know."
You nod. "Okay, I'll do that on Friday"
"Okay."
You slowly go to touch his face, careful not to startle him "Wanna watch some tv? Sun's almost up."
His eyes dodged yours, and he pulled his hands back. "No, you're tired, go back to bed"
But you shake your head, "No, honey I'll stay up with you. Steven and I can have an early night tomorrow. We can have a nice quiet morning, maybe go to IHOP for breakfast before work? Watch some kids cartoons?"
"I don't... I don't want you to get less tim with Steven because I kept you up"
You shake your head. "Don't think of it like that. Think of it as Steven and I getting a good nights sleep. And Steven won't mind at all, he wants me to be there for you. I promise"
"Yeah..." He mumbled. "Yeah sure."
You guide his face to look at you. "You aren't a burden. Me, Jake and Steven love you, we're here to help you, okay?"
He smiled, just a little bit, and nodded. "Okay"

The Tragic Story of Six
We all know that a Little Nightmares protagonist never makes it past one game, that is except for Six, who has suffered alongside the other protagonist kids throughout the whole journey. And we’re going to be exploring the tragedy of her tale.
Some points I need to caveat before we dive in:
1- None of what I will say justifies Six’s bad deeds, but does explain why she did the bad things she’s done.
2- Six is only nine years old. So Six isn’t even in the double digits yet when she goes through everything in this post. And since we don’t know how much time has passed between LN2 and LN1, she could have been only eight years old in VLN or LN2 for all we know.
And 3- Even though most of the instalments are played by one of the other kids, the overall LN narrative is telling us Six’s story, since she is present throughout the whole series.
Here is some music that I believe is fitting for this subject so that you can play it as you read:
undefined
youtube
The story of Six is a tragic one.
It begins with her entrapment at the Nest. We don’t know what happened to Six before this, how Six got there or how long she’s been there, but it’s safe to assume that it wasn’t pleasant for her because she hides in places where the monsters can’t get her and that she wanted to escape at the end. This is also Six at her most innocent.
During her escape, she encounters RCG and decides to team up with her but unfortunately gets betrayed by her. She finds another way to escape the Nest and is saved by RCG this time and tries to save her in return. But sadly her attempt to save RCG failed and all she could do was watch as RCG and the Pretender fall into the sea to their deaths. This moment left Six with survivor’s guilt.
Having developed survivor’s guilt, you can better understand why Six was hesitant to help Mono at the beginning of LN2 - she doesn’t want to help someone only to lose them again (that and him chopping down the door with an axe wasn’t exactly the best first impression). Over the course of LN2, Six learns to trust Mono and even actively puts her own life at risk to help him several times, as does he for her. And the ending of VLN makes the part where Six finds the raincoat hit differently.
Later, through Mono’s actions, she gets kidnapped by the Thin Man and taken to the tower where she tortured and later distorted (as evident by the part where Mono tries to pull her out of a TV, she doesn’t want to be there and is clearly in distress).
But, even when she’s been tortured and distorted in the Signal Tower, she still offers her music box which is her escapism and the fantasy that the tower has hypnotised her with, meaning that she wanted Mono to join her in the fantasy. The LN Twitter hinted twice that breaking the music box was why Six dropped Mono ‘Extracting someone from a fantasy can be deeply upsetting for everyone involved’. So now you may understand Six’s perspective of the situation, which Dave Mervik hinted at in an interview when asked why she did what she did. LN2 is shown through Mono’s perspective and doesn’t easily offer us Six’s perspective, so we can only interpret it.
Here’s how I interpret it:
‘I tried to save someone even after they betray me, but I failed to save them. I then met a boy with a bag on his head who offered me his hand, I didn’t want to take it at first because I didn’t want to lose someone else all over again, but circumstances forced me to accept his help. We gradually bonded and I tried even harder to ensure that my friend would make it out alive by putting myself at risk to help him. He did nothing when I was taken and practically torn in half (Shadow Six’s creation) but when he finally arrived, I offered him to join me in the fantasy I was in, I either didn’t know that my body was distorted or I didn’t mind it (after all, Six doesn’t really seem bothered by her monstrous form). However not only does he refuse my offer, but he forces me out of it. No matter how much I screamed from the pain and tried to stop him, he kept doing it (since Six screams and hunches over in pain whenever Mono hits the music box). I’m not given a minute to process what just happened when he destroys it because walls of flesh start chasing us immediately afterwards and I barely managed to get to the exit. I catch him but then I think:
Why? Why did he do that? I tried to save someone else but failed but this time I changed myself by putting my own life at risk to help him several times and offered him to join me in the fantasy that helped me heal from the pain caused by the man in the hat that he released even when I tried to stop it from happening. But not only does he refuse my offer but he forces me out of it against my will. No matter how much I screamed and tried to stop him, he wouldn’t stop hurting me. After everything I did for him, this is the thanks I get? I changed myself by putting my life at risk to help someone else, so why?’
And like the LN Twitter said: the more of us understand the pain that Mono caused Six than we realise.
With how the tower was collapsing as she held onto Mono, Six had to think fast. And well, we saw what happened (before people try to put words in my mouth, no, none of this justifies what happened to Mono, but makes it understandable). Afterwards when she comes out of the TV, we see her hugging herself, showing guilt or remorse before Shadow Six appears.
And finally in LN1 we see that Six doesn’t help any other kids anymore, either because she’s afraid that she’ll just lose them all over again or because what happened with Mono made her lose trust people, essentially shutting everyone out. It’s probably a bit of both. The only ones she’s shown to still trust are the Nomes, evident by how she hugs them and gives them a source of warmth/light by lighting a lantern when one is available and freeing some Nomes that got themselves trapped (such as the Nomes in the fridge and cage in the prison chapter and later in a jar in the kitchen chapter). Why does she trust the Nomes over the other kids? It could be that they remind her of the two friends she’s lost (RCG and Mono) or because she sees herself in them with how skittish they are like she is (and for good reason), or she doesn’t trust people anymore to show kindness to them but still has to the desire to be kind to something that is considered inferior to her or maybe a bit of each of these.
But unfortunately along the way she saw that the children on the Maw are turned into sausages, so when the hunger hits her, she is forced to choose between knowingly committing cannibalism or eating something that we know is also a kid but she doesn’t know, and she chose the latter option. And finally, after defeating the Lady, Six is forced to knowingly commit cannibalism to satisfy her hunger and she obtains the Lady’s powers in the process. The way she slowly turns towards the camera marks the end of what little innocence she had left, and now she exits the Maw and awaits rescue, killing any guests that try to eat her along the way.
What happens to her afterwards is yet to be seen, but with Six trying to save RCG even after being betrayed by her, to at first not trusting Mono but eventually trusting him and changing herself to risk her own life to help him several times but betraying him when a big misunderstanding occurs, to not even trying to save any of the other kids anymore, you can now notice Six’s mental deterioration.
Something to remember is that all of the monsters (except the flesh walls) are human, mostly adults. But they weren’t always adults; they were once children themselves. Whether the world went insane long ago - when they were children, or not that long ago - when they are now adults, either way they were once children too and now live to prey on the next generation of children. And as we saw and confirmed by David Mervik himself, the world has shaped Six to become one of them, now existing to prey on others to survive and all child-like innocence she had is gone.
Tumblr media
Although the ending she got may not be as bad as Mono’s, RCG’s and RK’s, and until LN3 comes out (provided it’s actually a sequel this time) to prove otherwise, Six’s story and fate nonetheless remain a tragic one. And Six’s fate is one shared no doubt by many other children.
Thank you for reading if you’ve read all of this, I’ll see you in the next one.

Whumpuary Day 11
11. (Jan 21-22) Blood / "Just get it over with" / Memories
Lucretia is sitting in her office on the Moon Base of the Bureau of Benevolence, approximately six months after The Day of Story and Song. Well, exactly one hundred and eighty-three days, five hours, and eleven minutes… but who is counting really? 
The truth is, she has been counting. There isn’t a day that has gone by where she isn’t thinking about how long it’s been since everyone’s memories came back. 
More specifically, she has been counting every day since she lost the trust of her colleague and friend, Taako. 
The guilt never left after she saw the absolute hatred in Taako’s eyes when he finally remembered. She didn’t realize that Taako would take things this hard. But didn’t she? She knew, she knew Taako and Lup were practically one and the same. Removing one-half of Taako’s entire life wasn’t fair, and she knew that. But she had to do it, she needed them to understand that her plan was going to work, and to do that she would have to make them forget. 
She feels justified for her actions, but the guilt never leaves. That look in Taako’s eyes haunts her dreams constantly. Sometimes it’s more than a look of disgust, and she wakes up in tears from impossible scenarios that she felt were more than real. Most of the time she can control her outbursts. Only once has she screamed, alerting her security and putting herself in an awkwardly vulnerable position. She never wanted to be in that position again, so she put herself on a very strict sleep schedule. 
Today, however, after one hundred and eighty-three days, five hours, and thirty-three minutes, Lucretia got a message from Lup to meet at her house. Lucretia knew she would have to adjust her sleep schedule to make room for this meeting, but she was willing to sacrifice it to talk to family. Lup didn’t hold a grudge against Lucretia, so she felt safe going over for a cup of tea and some conversation. However, when she stepped through the rift Lup created for her, she was met with nervous energy and a Taako who looked like he didn’t want to be there. 
“Hey Luce,” Lup says, a smile on her face, “We all need to talk, hm?” 
Lucretia stands there, tense as the rift that brought her here closes behind her. No running away from it now, Lucretia was brought to an intervention session. Barry and Kravitz are also in the room, in the corner quietly watching. Lup walks up beside Taako and gestures to Lucretia to come further into the room. 
“Taako and I have been talking, and I think Taako has something he’d like to say to you.”
Lucretia isn’t sure what to do with herself in this space. She didn’t know if she should sit or if she should look at any of them. Lup gestures for Lucretia to come and sit down beside her, but the look on Taako’s face says he means business. Lucretia ignores Lup, choosing instead to stand face to face with Taako, a calm, neutral expression despite the anxiety attack that was building quickly. Taako was staring at her with a face that gave away he was clearly annoyed. Lucretia looks down at that, pretending that the ground under her feet is more interesting to look at. She stands still with grace, hands folded in front of her; the picture of decorum despite the fact she feels she can’t breathe. 
“Sup, Luce?” Taako asks to fill the quiet. 
Lucretia takes a deep, shaky breath, her shoulders tensing under the weight of her guilt. 
“If you must yell, Taako, then please get it over with…”
Taako frowns and everyone else in the room is taken aback by her comment. The silence stayed thick between all of them. Taako isn’t sure if he should even say anything after hearing that comment.
Lup shakes her head and steps slightly forward, a hand reaching out to touch Lucretia. “Luce, we wouldn’t–” Taako stops Lup from getting closer. 
“Look,” Taako sighs, rubbing at the back of his neck, “I’m not here to yell at you, ‘kay?” He slides his hat off of his head and fidgets nervously with the brim. “I was fucked up by what you did to my memories. I still feel pretty fucked up, y’know? It’s hard remembering what happened. I told myself a long time ago that I’d never forgive you, and I thought it was gonna be that way forever.” Lucretia takes another trembling breath as the guilt crushes her more. “But I’m tired of avoiding you… Like, I don’t want to keep running from you. What you did sucks, but I– It’s just annoying at this point because parties fuckin’–” Lup elbows Taako in the ribs and it earns a grunt of complaint from the twin. Taako breathes deep once again and looks up from his hat to make eye contact. “I miss you… and I just want my friend back.” 
Lucretia tries her damnedest to control her expression but breathing is becoming steadily harder due to the building tears in her eyes. It wasn’t quite forgiveness, she still felt didn’t deserve it after everything, but it was enough. Enough to finally release that heavy burden of guilt she’s been carrying. 
Taako sees that the dam is about to burst and he rolls his eyes, “Fantasy Jesus Christ, just– cm’ere” and closes the gap to pull Lucretia into a hug. 
((((I promise I haven't forgotten about this challenge. My depresso espresso has been pretty strong lately and I lost the motivation to write. I'm determined to finish this challenge though, it just may be a while before I get through all the prompts. Thank you to whomever stuck around for these.))))

Whoever was ringing had to leave sometime, right? So you waited, but they weren't going to leave you alone. It just got worse from there. Whoever it was started knocking as well... or more like started to smash down the door. You glanced through the peephole once again, but sill saw nothing. So, there has to be at least two people. You carefully opened the door. You didn't had much of a choice, if you wanted to sleep tonight anyway.
"Finally.", Richy sighed, but his smile faded when he saw your unhappy expression.
"Can we come in?" Jake questioned.
"No," you simply replied and shut the door again.
How could they come here, causing you a heart attack, and now want to come in? Couldn't they at least warned you? They couldn't, of course. It was exactly like their move at the bus stop.
"Y/n come on.", you heard Richys’ muffled voice.
You couldn't simply leave them there. What if your neighbors had enough and called the police because both of them were making too much noise? You were furious, but were you furious enough to let them go to jail? You unlocked the door and let them in without saying anything.
"What took you so long? I understand you're upset, but this was still a bit too harsh."
"A bit too harsh? And how would you describe what you are doing?"
"I told you she wasn't going to read the note." Jake simply snorted at Richy.
Right, the note. You absolutely forgot about it. However, even if you would have remembered it, you didn't had time to read it anyhow. You entered your bedroom and took the paper out of your jacket.
'We'll meet at your place tonight.'
They did, after all, warn you. You were feeling dumb right now. But, your anger returned when you returned to them in the living room. Jake passed past you in your bathroom while gathering your laptop and phone. Richy drank some water and watched TV. His feet were on your table, and none of them bothered to take off their shoes.
"Are you serious? What exactly do you think you're doing?"
Because Jake returned a split second later, the question was aimed at both of them.
"I just wanted to make sure no one could eavesdrop on us," Jake replied, "but I've no idea what he's doing."
Richys’ face turned slightly red. He switched off the television and approached you. "Sorry."
"What for? Following me around, spying on me, causing me a heart attack, not taking off your shoes, or making you feel at home after all I've previously mentioned?”
"Y/n I-," Jake interrupted him by stepping in front of him.
"Look, Y/n, we're sorry about it all, but it would be great if you could just trust us and let us explain."
"Trust you? After everything that happened? Jake, you still don’t let me see your face. How can I trust you when I have no idea what you look like?"
Jake sighed and removed his hood. He looked a bit confused because of your leak of emotion, but if you were honest, he looked exactly like you imagined. Richy copied his action, and now they are getting the reaction they were waiting for. Unlike him, Richy got a visible scare on his forehead, definitely from the fire incident.
"I'm hoping there's a good reason for this."
Before you sat down on the sofa, you gave them one last angry glance.
"Where should we begin?" Richy wondered.
"Probably with the fact that Hannah knows."
"She knows? How come you told her but not me?"
"We didn’t tell her."
"Oh even better. Was it really that difficult to grab a phone and leave a quick message? Aren't I worth a 'I'm fine.'?"
"I'm sorry, but yes." Jake began, but Richy took the word.
"He didn't mean it like that, Y/n."
Fortunately, Jakes' comments left you silent; otherwise, you would be screaming at them now.
"I was badly hurt. The police were all busy when Jake dragged me out of the mine, but Hannah noticed us. We left our phones in the tunnels in the hoping that they would find them and declare us dead. We had to flee after that, and Jake was too busy with getting me medical help to communicate with you."
"You haven't texted in months. You can't tell me you haven't had time to write a few words?"
"I didn’t know what to say. When I finally had the chance to contact you, I was certain you had heard about what happened. I was terrified about your reaction ", Jake has finally started speaking.
"Is it better to follow me and break in?"
You weren't angry anymore, just disappointed.
“We weren't breaking in. You opened the door for us.”
"Yeah, since I was afraid you'd destroy it otherwise and covered the peephole."
"Would you really have opened the door if we hadn't?" Jake questioned.
You did not respond. You would have allowed them in anyway, but he was right. "Exactly-," Jake was interrupted by another knock at your door.
"Who is that?"
"Duskwood Police Department, please open the door."
"Are you serious?" Richy asked.
You got up and shoved them inside your room.
"What are you doing?"
"Hid under the bed."
"What? No." Richy replied.
"Just do it, dammit. The closet is empty. If they come in and look in there, you have a problem. Now stop complaining and do it."
"Open the door," the officer commanded once more.
While you opened the front door, Jake dragged Ricky under the bed. "Excuse me, but is there a problem?" you asked, trying to appear sleepy.
"Your neighbors have complained about loud noises."
"Yeah, some random dudes were knocking on my door."
"And why were they doing it?" he questioned.
"They mistook me for Phil Hawkins. It's actually his place, but he let me stay for a while."
"So, where is Phil Hawkins now?"
"Aren't you the cop? He lives a few streets away, but this apartment is part of the Aurora. " You responded, slightly annoyed.
"Please forgive my questions, ma'am. I just wanted to make sure you were telling the truth. Good night then.”, he turned around and went down the stairs.
"Good night."
You rolled your eyes, when you shut the door. Why did they had to be so loud? You waited a few more minutes to make sure he was truly gone before returning to your room. Richy and Jake have exited their hiding place and just looked at you.
"I believe you should go as well."
"Are you still upset?" Richy asked.
"I'm disappointed. But, before you go, there's something I still don't understand. Why didn't you tell the others? Were you scared as well?"
"No. We just don't want them to have to choose between protecting us and going to the police." Jake responded.
"Dose  Hannah know what truly happened?" you asked Richy.
"No, at least I didn't tell her about it.  Perhaps Jessy did."
"Jessy cried for hours after your call, you know?"
"Of course she did . If we told them the truth, they'd all despise me."
"I don't think so."
"I do. At least I did.", Jake shrugged.
"Wait a minute, what? How come you saved him then?" you asked.
"Because I know how important he is to you."
"Well, thank you for that... I suppose," you mumbled.
"We understand if you're still upset or disappointed, but please don't tell anyone else." Richy pleaded.
"I promise I won't."
"We will see you soon.", Jake said his goodbye.
"I promise we won’t be far away.", Richy added.
"So you stalk me instead of reading my texts?"
"I’d call it watching over you, but I know you won't see it that way." Jake shrugged.
"Good night," Richy said, smiling.
Y/n could see he was struggling with the idea of hugging you. While you were still sad over what happened, you missed them too. You probably missed them more than you would admit, so you hugged him instead. He gave you a little smile before wrapping his arms around you tightly. It was good to finally feel him hugging, but Jakes' hawking cut the moment short.
"Night, Jake."
You also hugged him before they pulled their hoods up again and headed out into the darkness. You were hoping to see them again soon, but you know Jake. So why don't you focus on the others? You grabbed your phone from the bathroom and plugged it into the charger. When your screen lit up, you noticed a few messages. So, you sat on your bed to read them before going to sleep. The first text was from Phil. He wished you a good night and invited you to go shopping with him the next day. Before you arrived here, he bought you some grocerys, like the water Richy drank earlier. But because he didn't know what you liked, it wasn't enough for more than two days.
Another was from Jessy, asking if you were comfortable in your new apartment, but she answered her question herself, because she thought you were already asleep.
The last one made me smile a little. Jake had sent it. 'I'm sorry about everything, but I promise we'll make it up to you. ;)"
That was the Jake you knew and loved. Loved. It seemed weird to think about it. You  were in love with him, but you also had that fuzzy feeling when you wrote with Richy. Then there was the entire Man Without a Face thing, which messed everything up. Now they're back, and you're thinking about Phil the same way you used to think about them. You realized you needed to sort out your feelings as soon as possible, or it would be quite uncomfortable for all of you.

Mam właściwie jedno nortujące pytanie a mianowicie wizje megatrona o unicronie jak to wygląda w pokojowej linii czasu ?
Previous Episode of the Peaceful Timeline
Translation: I actually have one more question, namely megatron's visions of unicron, what does it look like in a peaceful timeline?
That is...a good question.
The visions of Unicron and his 'younger self' (as I have labeled for a very specific in AOP) are just manifestations of his rage, his guilt, his anger, sorrow, and regret. Unicron has no real influence over Megatron because his soul is currently locked away in an indestructible container while his physical body is still in the center of the Earth.
But Megatron at the end of the day has some major PTSD. If he was still the villain, none of his actions would have bothered him. But now he fully sees himself as a monster, and he has to come to grips with the fact that he fucked up.
His hallucinations aren't helped by the fact of his environment, because in the main AOP timeline, he is not really trusted and treated at arm's length. It's just adding more fuel to the fire of the question: even if he wanted to change, would it be believed? Would he still be seen as a villain by everyone around him? Is the risk to make connections really worth it, if the end result is always going to be misery?
As AOP continues onward, you'll start to notice, or you might even notice now, the more connections and actions towards good that he is making, the quieter the hallucinations become. He's finding manageable ways to cope. Doesn't mean that it's entirely healthy.
Now in regard to the Peaceful Timeline, Megatron's hallucinations were definitely in full force before he found Optimus and Ymir. Taunting him and telling him to give up on his fruitless mission to find Optimus, from some extremely primitive painting and play to go off of. Finding Optimus was the one thing keeping him going, but the longer he searched, the worse his mind got.
Then he found Optimus and Ymir. Before Megatron would really find a kinship with Ymir and build a connection with her while also trying to fix what he had with Optimus, both are practically screaming at him: 'What the hell are you doing?' They were telling him to stop this farce. He'll make it worse. Leave! Kill the girl! NO!
He kept those thoughts to himself obviously, and he still didn't have that high opinion of Ymir, and Optimus still hated himself. But then...Ymir says thank you when he brings food for her she's able to eat, he helps with the delivery process, and he sees a woman holding her daughter with such care and love, when she shouldn't. The child was forced upon her. She had no choice...so why did she care about this thing?
His reasons for staying with Optimus and Ymir slowly begin to change. He's beginning to learn and grow and how to be a better person, especially to Ymir, who's actively been willing to give him another chance because of their understanding of each other. Then he forms an actual connection with Maria, and because he doesn't want her perception of him to change, he learns to control his anger.
And as Megatron is in a positive environment now, the hallucinations are not as severe as before, because he has ways to cope. Doesn't mean that it's gone away. When Maria learns about their titan forms, it comes full force. When Maria learns the truth about the war, it's practically attacking him. It's moments in his life that are shrouded in doubt and fear is when it all comes back.
He does ultimately decide to tell Optimus about it, feeling as though they were in a place where they could trust each other again. And Optimus finds ways that Megatron can cope with the situation if and when it arises.

Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning spoilers under cut... 
One thing I don’t understand is the narrative I keep reading about is Ilsa being fridged. Because it assumes Ilsa died to motivate Ethan that is what fridging means. (I know the original fridge story better than the crack addict who came up with the concept and she’s wrong and hates women for having roles in stories but that’s another tale)
But Ilsa did not die to motivate Ethan. He was already motivated to kill the Entity AI. He was working from the start to do so as soon as he learned what the key he got from Ilsa was for. So there was no push that would be achieved by Ilsa’s death. 
Ethan Hunt’s morals have always remained the same. He fights in the shadows for the people he loves and the people he’ll never meet. It’s why he would and said Grace’s life would always matter to him more than his own. She’s a stranger Ilsa was one of his best friends/ his kind of love interest. Both meant the world to Ethan because that’s who he is. 
Ilsa didn’t die for Ethan or to motivate Ethan. She died (and we know these movies Ilsa could easily come back in Part Two or a later movie) for Grace. Because that is also who Ilsa is. She’s the same type of hero who went rogue to help more people than her government wanted. Who would do whatever it took to get the job done and protect the innocents. 
Grace while an internationally renowned thief we see is not a killer. She doesn’t want to hurt anyone not really. A slip into pockets here and there for money absolutely. But she was screaming at people to move. Upset about her would be assassin Paris being stabbed in the gut. Unwilling to sell her soul. Willing to trust to a fault. Resourceful and clever but not cruel and not deadly. This establishes Grace as a more innocent version of Ilsa and Ethan. She’s on the outskirts she has no idea what world she stepped into. She’s not a spy like Most women or allies in this series. 
This movie at multiple points where there are women in the room being talked down to by a crazy psycho man but it’s not Ethan Hunt. This picture of him as a womanizing Bond like spy is so inaccurate to his character. he genuinely cares about all these people and it kills him when he can’t save these people or chase them off because they care about him. Battle of the sexes in Mission Impossible is a crazy concept because you’re not supposed to think of it that way. Other Action Movies have really brain rotted us.

I get finding early Jaune annoying, but tag-lurking for that purpose ain't healthy. 'Sides, V6-8 made leaps & bounds WRT his screentime balance & watchability (loved the 'hoverbikes OK for a dude who might've never seen one before' parts).
Oh for sure, I hated Jaune until like v6 really. However, just because I didn't like him or his character, doesn't mean it wasn't a good direction for his growth.
Which like, mini tangent, you can hate a character while still understanding their actions/development. Like just saying.
But yeah v1-v3 Jaune is this naive goofy dude who was told by his sister or dad or smth(I forget it was real early) that all he has to do is show confidence to get the girl. He tries that with Weiss, a lot, it doesn't work. It's a very irritating character trait, and then you see Pyrrha, a beloved character, pining after him while he doesn't notice her until near the end. Which is another mini gripe that was sorta forced in a sense but like time constraints I get it. So he finally gets more confident thanks to Pyrrha's training and reinforcement and then she's killed after he realizes his feelings.
I think v5-v6 is my favorite version of Jaune before I started liking him. He sort of stays strong in the first few eps we see, helps RNJR with plans, gets Pyrrha's head piece added to his shield and that moment of him, Nora, and Ren in the hotel room together, all their weapons against the wall, showing off her head piece for the first time like they're all back together? Fucking loved that scene. Anyway, then we see him training every night to the recording of Pyrrha, and y'know what they say about the definition of insanity.
But the real kicker is when Qrow comes in, when he starts saying more about the maidens, about all these things that were fairy tales. That's when Jaune really starts to get pissed off, all these adults they were supposed to trust have hidden all these things. Maybe if they told them, maybe if they knew they could have saved Pyrrha. So that's where we start getting serious angst Jaune.
Then we get to his sister's house. We see how he reacts to Oscar, slamming him against a wall, screaming at him because if only Oz had told them earlier maybe her destiny could have been different. He keeps blaming people for things that can't be changed anymore, he's got so much anger, so much rage about this.
There's also that moment he happens upon Pyrrha's statue, talks with her mom(or sister? I forget) then Ren and Nora round the corner and something clicks.
But nothings easy, because Then there's Haven. Cider's there, the person who killed Pyrrha and he lets that anger take over, he's sloppy, isn't thinking. Cider's the bad guy though, decides she could torture him just a bit more, stabs Weiss with that lance. It's like a repeat of beacon all over again and he can't. He can't handle doing that again. His desperation unlocks his semblance, saves Weiss.
There's more but like that's the gist, he accepts he can't change the past, but he can help now, he can keep his friends alive. (Well. Mostly. Rip penny)
Then we finally get v7-v8 and he gets his haircut (which I always liked better than the other one fight me)he's more at peace with himself, becomes that goofy dude again, but different. He's cracking good natured jokes, coming up with plans and just feels better about himself.
But then he watches one by one as his friends fall into, what he thinks is death, has to kill one of his friends (who's already died at the hands of his dead girlfriend so like at least they have that in common) and then he falls. That boy is going to be real fucked up during v9 and he's going to go backwards, that's a given, but I hope it's in a way that's... I dunno, he doesn't turn into a hated character again.
Anyway it's 2am there's more and I'm bad with words and rambled but like. Yeah.

Okay so I tried myself at hc and idk those are just a few unpopular/unknown slashers I love to death I have pretty broken English so yeahhh anywaysss
James/ hazard jack
 Relationship would include:
- a lot and I mean A LOT of trauma dumping and flashbacks, those also include his quick angry outburst
- be prepared for those too and don't take it to hard if he leaches out on you
- he doesn't mean it really :( he is a great man
- he will apologize tho! And God forbid if he hurted you while doing so 
- it sadly happens quite a lot and anything could be the cause, even tho he tries not having them around you but it's really really hard to control them
- he is probably really obsessive
- he doesn't want to lose you, not like he lost others
- it is hard for him to understand those feelings again it is probably quite the time he felt those
- he is incredibly awkward really
- when he sees you standing on the other side of a hall and he just.. stares until he uncomfortably waved a bit
- wave back or he will get sad 
- if he sees you being to close with someone his more possessive side would come in action, again other people means losing you to someone maybe better
- he is afraid you will find someone more.. normal
- so of their heads go, without you knowing.. or so he tries
- he can't go into the city so eating animals (and maybe even other people) it was but with you?? FINALLY REAL FOOD AGAIN!
- get him... EVERYTHING this man will eat it in no time
- James does have a quite a lot of emotions he can't control, he knows what he does is wrong but it became his Outlet to everything
- it is a part of him, he tried to stop but he simply couldn't, killing became his coping mechanism
- the blood and screams calms him as horrible and morbid as it sounds
- some think it would trigger him but it somehow doesn't and trust me he is confused about it to
- touch starved men but also afraid at the same time
- he wants you sweet soft hands all over him but what if right after you see what he really his or more became and then leave??
- give him a lot of reassurance please
- he will get addicted to your touch real quick tho
- touching his face is a whole another problem
- he isn't particular afraid but, like killing, it made him feel safe especially before he had you
- it protected him and gave him still a layer where people simply couldn't see trough him
- he will take it of after a while tho he is just a bit afraid that he will get hurt right after
- again R-E-A-S-S-U-R-A-N-C-E
- overall he is being trough a lot and you now here and helping him makes it all so much better and safer, he has you and he doesn't need anything else now <3
Dating Karl Dixon/Paintball killer would include:
- Reassurance to the brim! He has being trough a lot and I mean a lot a lot, he is unsure of himself and never got the chance to fully let this shown
- also he most likely is afraid of a relationship, stella was the only girl he ever loved (before you obviously) and even she somehow in someway betrayed him
- possessive has heck and he reasons it, he can't let his new soulmate go so easy not after you accepted him like he was
- if you knew each other since school and was also protective of him right after the whole date fiasco he is even more clinger to you
- he is quite a funny guy actually and loves to joke around a bit, it calms him especially if you join!
- he isn't afraid to show his face, he will take his mask of as soon as no one is at the ruins 
- he does kill after his class simply because it gave him the power he never had in school
- he gets jealous easy again do to school, so he will take anyone talking with you as a thread and therefore should be killed immediately
- Karl is.. difficult to read you sometimes can't make out if he is angry or not especially because he still refuses to talk
- after a decent amount of time tho it can become a bit easier especially after he started saying a few words here and there
- please get him a therapist
- he wouldn't wanna go back home so either you stay with him at the ruins or let him move in with you
- you will still find him at the ruins tho
- yes he loves paintball like really, he is also incredibly good at it!
- please play with him whenever he is asking :(
- overall Karl is insecure about him even tho he doesn't show it often just know that he needs a lot of reassurance and promises and make sure he knows how much you truly love him (unlike a certain someone- looking at you stella-)
Slasher---
Dating Micheal gibbsion:
(Changed the plot a bit here sry,sry)

Dating the doc would include:
(Again changes Hc that if longer on the show they more become their character lolol)
- first of again let's assume you two somehow in someway meet in the show!
- when he first realized that 'shit they hot af I wanna smash them against a wall but also cuddle up with them' he goes straight ahead!
- well.. no so much he is confused just a bit and just tries a few tactics
- the first one was simple, give you more attention by making the survival even harder for you!
- extra scares, hunting you more often, maybe just maybe give you a scratch or two
- but soon he will realised 'shit that ain't working' so how about the complete opposite??
- letting you escape a few times, running after others may even helping you here and there
- and when one time he was infront of you alone without even the camera he just dropped it:" listen I would love to have a nurse, I Mean what It's a doctor without one!"
- how THIS get to you? You have no idea, it was stupid such a stupid pick-up line if you could even call it a pick-up line
- but it did get to you so woo now you are in a relationship <3

- you need to hide them from him :-:
- and oh if you would know about all the thoughts he had..
- and besides that he still his Dr. Ripper-
- so yes he does tear your clothes apart in the most loving way <3
- but will buy you new ones

Hiii 💓 i just read the latest update of watercolor and i was going to leave some of my comments under the update but since i had so much to say i thought i should send you an ask again lol 🥲
but wow okay!!! first of all this update was too much fun to read as always! I am still so happy that you decided to write this part of the story out because it gave us so much more detail not only about what happened during that night but also about how hyunjin + yn are feeling 😗
while i read through this i was thinking of how you do such an amazing job at portraying the confusion that hyunjin is really feeling. we don’t fully know what’s going on in his heart or his mind but that’s the whole point because he doesn’t understand it himself! he doesn’t know how he feels and that’s why he acts so irrationally… and i think you’re doing a great job at bringing those feelings of confusion to life. Hyunjin is all over the place rn and while he may be frustrating to some i find him to be soo fun to read haha. through his actions you can still get the idea of how he’s feeling though and i can’t wait for him to start coming to terms with his feelings.
i am so glad yn is letting herself have fun once in a while despite her feelings for hyunjin! my girl deserves it and it’s so cute how sweet changbin is with her 😩 also the part where hyunjin said he wished it was him causing yn to make those pretty sounds HELLO??? when i tell you i screamed jdndkcnd i wasn’t expecting that at all.
hyunjin and yn at end of this update were so cute i loved the little back and forth teasing they had going on and how effortlessly they seem to speak to one another now despite some tension still being there. i’ll always be team hyunjin even when he’s being a little dumb lol 🤧🤧 but i kinda appreciate how hyunjin seeks more opportunities to be alone with her now when at the beginning of this series hyunjin practically avoided that at all costs. i hope he doesn’t confuse yn and her feelings in the future so hopefully he figures it all out soon 🤗
thank you again for going out of your way to give us a written update this time! it made a difference and it was a great choice :) i always get so excited about this story as you know and i end up writing long ass messages in your inbox ssjkfsbfm although you said you love long messages so i’m hoping it’s okay 💖 im sorry if some of the things i said don’t make total sense hahaha i’m still a little excited rn and i hope you understand everything i’m trying to say!

omg helloooo!! this kind of asks make me so happy, it's okay 🥺💕
ahhh, i'm happy it was fun to read! and yeah, it was supposed to be a fake texts part but as i planned it out i realised there were feelings (especially hyunjin's lol) that i wanted to portray and could only do so through a drabble... and i am so happy to read that you think i was able to actually portray that 😭 yup, he truly does not know what he's feeling and he is all over the place so let's cut him some slack although hopefully he'll come to terms with it soon 🤧
yesss, she deserves to have her own fun and it's good that she's finally realised that and throwing herself out there. LMAO trust me, not even hyunjin was expecting to have that kind of thoughts regarding y/n 😹 but he did think that and there is no turning back 👀
they're cute when hyunjin is not trying to push her away :( i'm happy to be able to show those little moments of theirs from time to time, i make myself soft lmao
yeah, there has been some kind of development when it comes to hyunjin wanting to spend some time with her... i wonder why that is 🙄 kdñajd but it's good to see him no longer trying to avoid her at all costs so far
thank you SO MUCH for reading and going out of your way to leave this kind of review!! it really means the world to me 💖 i understood everything you tried to say perfectly so don't worry about that!
honestly all i can say is thank you over and over 😭😭😭 i hope you're doing great! stay safe 🥰

Emotional Well Being Massage Oil
Tumblr media
For patients with a trauma history, or who experience a resurfacing of traumatic memories during a session, she always refers them to a therapist. To better understand why the negative effects of trauma can persist over time—and why it may potentially be physically "stored"—let's take a look at what's happening in the body during and after a traumatic experience. Roethlisberger had a special moment immediately after the game, as he was embraced his his wife and three children. He briefly met with several Browns players before being engulfed by media and camera people.
Allow Me To Introduce You To A Type Of Body
Crying, he came to his mom who was screaming into the phone, and asked her to comfort him because of the pain in his shoulder. His mother reacted in anger, and took his pleas as just whining for attention and she hit him with the phone a few times on this painful shoulder. This kind of crying, emotional release tremendously helped this athlete to get rid of this subconscious trauma. This heavy emotional baggage was terribly disturbing and robbed him of a lot of happiness all these years, without him even knowing it existed. My experience has taught me that usually these emotional releases happen with people at the time when we perform massage in the inhibitory regime. Please be aware that emotional release may not be expressed by crying.

And while it’s still an acceptable form of greeting, it shouldn’t find a place in the life of two love birds. Demand generation enthusiast, content marketing advocate, and team player. Sometimes, it takes a little bit to find the right one because there is some sort of idiosyncrasy in finding the perfect GIF. It’s kind of a science but again, it’s really easy to find those and there are a lot to choose from. In a time where the levels of stress are at high, and levels of happiness are low, massage therapy will reduce cortisol – the stress that causes hormone and boosts dopamine and serotonin, which are the good hormones. Further, massage therapy promotes the production of endorphins like dopamine and serotonin that aid with depression. In one research, the stress hormone cortisol reduced at least 53% after massage therapy.
Therapy And Behavioral Strategies
Distinguishing between genetic and environmental factors however requires further research and actual measurement of specific genes and environments. Unlike other negative emotions like sadness and fear, angry people are more likely to demonstrate correspondence bias – the tendency to blame a person's behavior more on his nature than on his circumstances. They tend to rely more on stereotypes, and pay less attention to details and more attention to the superficial.
Emotional Sad Messages
It’s sad when someone can’t see love; it’s worse for the person whose love goes unseen. An emotion you may not express at the moment when you both are together, but feel later and realize how much it means to you.

The result is greater than the sum of the parts, enabling the person on the table to feel engaged on the levels of body, mind and spirit. Often, with Zero Balancing, both energy and physical function improve dramatically. Zero Balancing is based on the premise that energy is a fundamental part of our being with its own anatomy and physiology. This can lead to increased emotional damage instead of emotional resolution. The key to emotional intelligence in a professional setting, however, is awareness. While the factors related to the expression of emotion by clients may be complex, the actual process of managing emotional release is simple. Perhaps the toughest part is managing the personal emotions the client’s release may trigger in you. Having some type of emotional release during a massage, acupuncture treatment, or yoga class—which many people have reported anecdotally—is not uncommon. Of course, this would be hard to prove, but it's certainly interesting to think about. Addressing the physical body to assist clients in processing trauma can have a deeply profound effect on the success of a massage session.

Now call me when you see this message so i can hear it. Hello, beautiful, you were the first most beautiful though in my mind as I woke up this cool morning, just wanted to say a good morning to the one that means the whole world to me. Since I spent the whole night dreaming of you, I thought it was only appropriate to message you this morning and wake you up. I feel like you are the reward for everything I did right in my life. Flowers, smiles and laughter are waiting for you. Hawk, formerly of the East-West Health Center in Denver, Colorado. “If a certain area of the body is being touched in a similar way to what the trauma was, it can actually feel as if they’re repeating the trauma,” said Hawk. Absolutely amazing, I had an Indian head massage 2 days ago and I didn’t know why I was emotional until my daughter looked it up. I must have lots of suppressed emotions and I’m definitely looking to release it all. I have osteopo arthritis fibromyalgia interstitial cystitis and many minor ailments too. Emotions that we do not process and release become trapped in the tissues of the body where they can end up causing pain, decreased range of motion, and other ailments. Even after all this time, my heart still melts when you walk into the room. There are no words to describe the love I feel for you on our anniversary—unwavering, tender and boundless only begin to sum it up. Like the smiles in our selfies, you light up my life. Often, in the case of injuries, we overcompensate with the unaffected limb or side resulting in other issues or injuries to arise. In other cases, patients may seek help dealing with neck pain and soon find the pain is radiating down their shoulder and arm. When one part is lacking, we try to compensate by other means. The one-time Mr. Universe began by talking about his reverence for the Russian people, cemented when he met world champion weightlifter Yuri Petrovich Vlasov at the age of 14. “Lymphatic massage is great for people with inflammation — including people with illnesses like arthritis, as well as people who have had mastectomies, which often involve removing the lymph nodes,” Bodner says. Reducing stress, massage therapy, and exercise are considered viable options to treat fibromyalgia. Most of us can agree that getting a massage feels awesome. Not only is it great for relaxation but also have many benefits for pain relief and injury. Many of you receive massage treatment for back or neck pain, headaches, or muscle tension. A life and diet with no pleasure equals boredom and unwanted eating more often than not. You use food to get the physical pleasure you’re denying yourself. “There are certain hormones that are secreted after a massage that rejuvenate and repair one emotionally,” she adds. Hawk recommends that in cases where a client knows touch is discomforting to them, or is currently working through an emotional crisis, it is best to talk with your therapist beforehand. You too should practice self-compassion and vulnerability regularly. The better you develop this skill, the more comfortable you will be with other’s emotions.

The Power Of Emotional Marketing
Engage them with a powerful message — without trying to sell your brand. They’ll jump to disregard the content as spammy and quickly lose interest. Respect them, and make an effort to understand their core needs. Aromatherapy massage involves the use of essential oils, such as lavender oil, to enhance well-being . To understand this theory, let’s remember back to a moment when we hit our elbow, knee or toe against a piece of furniture. You may have cursed the stationary object for magically appearing in your way! More importantly, you would have applied pressure to the area hurt. This pressure provides comfort and warmth or chill by applying ice, and sends a message to your brain which is faster and much stronger than the intensity of the pain message. The pressure message tells your brain the pain has been taken care of so it can be forgotten and you can stop cursing now.

Dating Geralt as a Witcher too (Headcannons)…
Tumblr media
Can i please request some dating headcanons for Geralt x male reader where the reader is also a Witcher but has been hiding away please? Thank you so much!
Here it is Lovely, Enjoy! @acid-witch-baby
<>__——__:__——__:__——__<>
{How you met}
• You had met through fighting a best believe it or not. You both sensed eachother using your witching abilities which had Geralt be extra careful, yes you were one of him but it was hard to gain his trust
• Being a Witcher came with great responsibilities, you had to be careful and not over use those selected abilities. Long story short Geralt ended up saving you from certain death.
• You both had this feeling…a gut feeling, like your paths were suppose to cross, like you were suppose to meet.
• Quickly much to Geralt’s dismay, fell for you, not in a friend way, more in a romantic way. Everytime he was around you he contained his thoughts and actions…what he wanted to do to you.
• You had told him the reason you were in hiding, which was totally understandable, it was to do with the killing/hunting of your brothers and sisters, the others that were just like you.
• Even though he felt weird about this, his gut was screaming about you, about Geralt making the move he has been so willing to make since he met you in those swamps.
• “Geralt?” You whisper, looking up into the piercing golden eyes he occupied. A low, husky hum sounds out into the room, his lips tugging up into a weak smile.
• This was too close? Right? For “Friends?”
• a warm set of lips connect with your own, it was slow, but hungry, the way his tongue eagerly asked for entrance into your mouth was needy, just like your lips against his own
• Geralt actually had feelings…he felt human for the first time in his life, all his Witcher responsibilities left outside of the door.
{Dating Headcannons}
• Geralt made sure to supply you with the things you need whilst you conjure up the confidence to come out of hiding.
• You felt safe with him, so if anything, you had to come out of hiding, not just for yourself but for Geralt too.
• To Geralt’s surprise, every evening (well most) he comes home to a warm cooked plate of grub, something Geralt can sit back and enjoy.
• (Geralt loves your hair, he likes to run his fingers through it whilst you lay on his chest)
• You first time outside in many years wasn’t much, just the empty fields around your small cabin. Geralt wanted you to enjoy life, and somehow had you on his back whilst you both rode roach, laughing and giggling.
• Geralt likes to give back and gives into your every need (mostly in bed) which mostly everytime has you a blushing mess not that you minded.
• Once you get over the anxiety enough to allow more people into your space, you meet his family.
• you instantly bonded with Jaskier, you became very close and always found yourself singing together in the fields whilst making flower crowns…(Jaskier has never been happier)
• (CIRI TREATS YOU LIKE AN OLDER BROTHER…) it’s kind of exhausting but you know she means well, she’s just as amazing as the rest
(NSFW)
• Over the past several months, Geralt has learned how your body reacted to the things he did, the way he did them
- learns of your GIANT breeding kink, which only turns him on more
- knows you like the pet-names he gives you e.g “love”, “Good boy”, “Precious”
- understands that releasing inside of you helps you reach your end…
- notices that you like his large, strong and heavy hands around your neck. He’d watch you squirm in your seat each time he pressed harder
- loves to watch you both fuck in the mirror next to your bed, watching you come undone beneath him really riles him up
- Geralt has a bit of a size kink…your just so tiny against him, which results in your belly bulging most of the time he fucks you…it’s a HUGE turn on for him
- (you love it when he cums inside of you…marking you as his own)
- His aftercare is next level, he treats you like his world, massages you and cleans you up after such a rough session of him using you.

Our little love - mafia/soft Yandere au OT7 Drabble
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So I might’ve started this with a little angst and really soft hints of yandere behaviour however I think I might do a part two for this with a little bit more yandere and jealousy vibes (I got ideas okay, just needed a starting point)
“Tell me why I shouldn’t put a bullet in your head little love?” Even with the gun pressed firmly against your head, the cold of the barrel threatening to do as he said, you know Yoongi won’t do it, even if you deserved it.
All seven of them stand around you, no matter which way you face you’re met with the disappointment and the consequence of your betrayal in their eyes, but you refuse to look down in shame, you deserved to feel the guilt that pumped in your veins.
“He asked you a question Y/n,” Jin doesn’t have the smile he reserves for you on his face, all their demenor’s are cold, and you are the reason why.
“You love me,” you whisper, looking Yoongi dead in the face with no fear.
“I thought you loved us too,” Namjoon steps forward, breaking the circle around you, coming close to stand next to Yoongi. He has his hands in the pockets of his black blazer, silver hair pushed back.
“Was it all a lie?” if a voice could break you it would always be Jungkook’s, he was the one it took the longest to become close to, and when you had you could see the softness in his eyes despite his career. Of course he would sound the most hurt, he trusted you the most.
Yoongi, with his unfaltering gun, was the other member of their team that took you almost as long as Jungkook to get close to. While Jungkook was just shy, Yoongi didn’t trust anyone, he pushed people away, hurt them to keep them far, you learnt that the hard way. While his eyes looked like they held no emotion in this moment, you knew better, he had shown you his soul, you could see behind the barrier of his expression.
You took his wrist into your hand and pressed the gun harder against you.
“You should shoot me,” it would be better to be dead than live without them, they would never forgive you for what you’d done. The betrayal cut too deep, these wounds wouldn’t heal.
Yoongi scoffs, but you don’t let his wrist go.
“I told you all she shouldn’t be trusted,” he says to the others. “Why would a girl like her fall for men like us?”
You can feel the pain in his words, because above all else, no matter what he says, Yoongi just wants to be loved. They all do, that’s why it was almost too easy.
“Well now we know, don’t we babe?”
“That wasn’t my intention,” you swallow the sob that threatens to rise in your throat, you hate seeing him like this, you hate that you’re the reason why they’re hurt. Every time they came home with a bullet, or a cut or wound, it would kill you inside and you realised then you were compromised.
“No your intention was to infiltrate our defenses and rat us out,” Jimin’s the one to chime in, standing next to Tae who looks at you like you’re dead to him.
“Detective L/n, did you really think we’d never find out?”
You look to your side to make sure Jimin could see the honesty in your eyes.
“It wasn’t my intention to fall for you,” you sound like you’re choking with the way you’re holding back tears, but you don’t want to cry in front of them, it would feel like giving up.
You were assigned to go undercover to infiltrate the uprising gang called BTS, they climbed the heirarchy of organised crime too quickly, too dangerously, something had to be done. You went in with every intention set to take them down until you got to know them, love them, and you knew then you couldn’t do your job. The internal battle to do what was right but felt wrong and what was wrong but felt so right was causing all your morals to be questioned.
Tae scoffs at you now, not believing a word from your mouth.
“I don’t think we should kill her Hyung,” he says to Yoongi, “she needs to feel her betrayal, it would be too easy to escape us with death.”
Namjoon hums in agreement. The cold of the gun leaves your skin and you almost feel unsteady without it. Yoongi doesn’t look at you anymore now that it’s not there, instead he takes your wrist as you previously had, and they walk you to the car. You don’t fight, or talk, or argue, or ask what they wanted to do to you.
The boys had trusted you infinitely, while others had agendas and seeked their downfall they knew you were the only one that wouldn’t betray them, how wrong they were. For your safety they kept an eye on you, when you went out one of them would follow to ensure their little love didnt get into trouble or worse, get hurt. Imagine their surprise when you walked into the police station.
You didn’t tell them you went in to hand in your notice, unable to continue with this lie, it didn’t matter, the damage was done, anything you said would be meaningless.
Your sat inbetween Jungkook and Hoseok, who still hadn’t uttered a word to you, but you could see him restraining his hurt and anger. Jin was in the drivers seat with Yoongi beside him. The others must’ve taken the other car, you don’t really acknowledge it you’re too deep in your own thoughts.
You don’t come up for air until you feel a hand soft on yours in your lap, Jungkook doesn’t look at you, just at how he’s stroking the back of your hand with his thumb comfortingly. You don’t mean for your heart to swell in your chest, pushing the tears up and out.
Jin and Yoongi don’t miss the way your bottom lip trembles in the rear view mirror, the small sniffles or the tears glistening down your face that you wipe away quickly with your other hand. Hobi puts his arm around you, still looking out the window as if you’re not there, but his actions show what they all know in their hearts; they still loved you.
“Why are you crying baby girl you’re not the one with the knife in your back,” Hobi mumbles. They think you’re scared of what they’re going to do with you now they know, but that couldn’t be further from your mind. They want to reassure you, but the words are stuck in their throats.
“You need to be punished darling, otherwise you won’t learn,” Jin can see you nodding to his words in the mirror in acceptance.
“I know.”
——————————————————————————
You expected them to put you in the cellar where they tortured their enemies, you don’t even realise you’re in the living room until you’re placed on the couch. You don’t look up until Namjoon is standing in front of you.
He traces his finger from the edge of your jaw to your chin, your eyes big on him from his soft touch. The calm should scare you, but the only anxiety you have is over whether you should hope for another chance or whether they’ll throw you onto the street when they’re done.
When a tear hits Namjoon’s hands he frowns, they didn’t expect this from you when they confronted you with what they uncovered. They expected you to reveal another face, the true colours beneath the girl they all fell hard for, kick and scream and throw insults their way over the life they had, how awful they were, how they didn’t deserve to be loved. But you kept quiet, eerily quiet, and they didn’t know what to think anymore.
Letting you leave was out of the question, whether you wanted to stay or not. Not because they were concerned that you had seen too much, they didn’t care, they couldn’t imagine their lives without you anymore. The trust might’ve faded, but their love for you was real. Yoongi might’ve created a farce with the gun to your head but it was done to see your reaction, the truth behind the last 6 months of your relationship.
They expected you to beg for your life like every other person at their mercy, but you always defied their expectations.
“You’re so quiet my love,” Namjoon says to you. “Nothing you want to say to defend yourself?”
You shake your head, no there was nothing you want to say or explain.
“Then you take your punishment without complaint?”
You nod without hesitation.
Namjoon releases a deep breath, building the nerve to do what they knew would reveal whether your feelings for then were real or a lie you fabricated for your job. But he wasn’t one to easily be vulnerable, especially not after the blow that they faced today.
Jimin can sense it, the words on their leader’s lip, and he decides to take over. Namjoon steps aside as Jimin kneels on the floor in front of you. He takes your hands that are fidgeting on your lap and place them by your side on the seat, resting the weight of his head there instead.
He hugs your lap with so much love you can’t mistake it for an illusion, he rubs his head into you as much as he can.
“Stay with us,” if his actions weren’t a shock to your system enough, his words pushed you over the edge. You look into each of their eyes and the vulnerability you had learned to recognise was there begging you to want to stay.
“But I...” you don’t know what you want to say, the beating of your own heart was overwhelming in your chest. “I- I hurt you all so much.”
Yoongi hums in agreement, stepping forward to stroke your hair back, the hurt was still there they couldn’t lie to you, but losing you would be worse.
“Do you love us?” Jungkook asks taking a seat beside you, Taehyung sits by your other side. Jimin rubs little circles into your thigh while they wait for your answer.
“So much,” you confess. “I couldn’t do it, I- I”
Your words break off in a sob, as Tae takes your hand in his and presses a kiss to the back of it, a weight lifted off his chest. Jungkook pulls you into him, arms wraps around you as you let out your cries and the man in your lap places little kisses on the expanse of your thighs. You feel overwhelmed with the love theyre displaying when you were expecting their hate.
“But I dont understand,” you cry, “why aren’t you all angry, why aren’t you yelling at me?”
“We love you too,” Jin smiles the way he only reserves for you, and you feel thankful for it.
“It doesn’t matter how you got to us dove,” Hobi comes to kneel beside Jimin, wanting to be close to you too. “If it weren’t for your job you wouldn’t have met us.”
“I don’t know about that Hobi,” Namjoon chuckles. “You were meant for us my love, we would have found you one way or another.”
“We forgive you,” Jungkook kisses your hair. “Just don’t leave us.”
“We wouldn’t let you go even if you tried,” Tae voice rumbles in, leaning his face against your neck while the youngest holds you, still latched to your hand.
“You’re ours,” Jimin’s muffled voice comes from your lap, he’s pressed his face into you.
They would never let you go, and you don’t want them to. You thought all they wanted was love, but now you think you’ve reflected your own desire into them, they just wanted you.

Scarred - Zuko x Reader
WARNINGS: ARGUING, BURN SCARS, ANGST
-
REQUEST: zuko x reader where the reader is the last one to forgive zuko at the western air temple bc he accidentally hurt her in the crystal catacombs and than zuko goes to her tent, begging for forgiveness and she shows him the scar he gave her and it’s super fluffy:33
-
"Y/N. . . what do you say?" All eyes landed on you, waiting for your response to Aang's question. However, there was only one pair of eyes in particular you glared back at; and if looks could kill, the recently renounced Fire Nation prince in front of you would've surely met his demise right then. But Zuko knew how to hold himself in front of those who wanted to intimidate him. If there was anything his father taught him, it was that much.
Despite your fiery stare and previous threats from the first time he pleaded for forgiveness that you'd "knock him on his ass" if he ever came near you again, he kept his composure. There was no doubt in his mind you'd stay true to that warning, which is why he made sure to keep enough distance between the two of you.
There was a hopeful gleam in his eyes, so far Aang, Sokka, Katara, and Toph had agreed to let him join the team, albeit some more hesitantly than others. If everyone else found it in their hearts to forgive and forget, surely you could as well. Wrong.
"No."
You saw the last bit of hope fizzle from his eyes as defeat weighed down on him, causing his shoulders to sink and his head to drop. "I know you don't trust me, I don't blame you. I've done horrible things, hurt you and your friends-"
"You can't even begin to imagine the amount of pain you've caused me!" Your words held a venomous sting, yet your tone was strained, calm almost.
"Y/N," Katara stepped up behind you, her voice was soft. You could barely feel the hand she'd placed on your left shoulder, thick and itchy bandages blocking her attempt at comfort. "I don't like it either, but Aang needs to learn fire bending."
"I really believe he's changed, give him a chance to-"
You cut Aang off, finally breaking your gaze from Zuko to face the young monk. "He's already had too many chances!"
No one could admit that you were wrong, not even Zuko. Because every time he'd faught against your little group of rag-tag heroes, you'd given him a chance. Even while the rest of team avatar faught the exiled prince, you never threw a single blow that wasn't defensive or to save your friends. Instead, you'd offer him a chance to join the right side. Of course, he never accepted, but you saw the benefits of your kindness when he'd began to show a sense of mercy against you. There was something in your head telling you he was more than just a villain.
But that mindset changed when you and the gang faught against him and his sister in the crystal catacombs. When Aang almost died. When he chose the Fire Nation's side. When he'd made sure to leave you a permanent reminder of that day.
After a few moments of tense silence, you let out an impatience scoff. "Leave, Zuko. I gave you my answer, the least you can do is respect it."
Reluctantly, he nodded, mumbling out an apology before turning on his heels. He only got in a few steps before Aang interjected.
"Zuko, stop."
He did, glancing over his shoulder, ready to hear what Aang had to say.
"I'm sorry, Y/N, but Zuko is staying. I need need to learn fire bending and he's my only option. I really believe he's changed for the better."
"You don't have to forgive him, but Aang's right, we need him," Sokka added in, to which Toph agreed.
You took in their words, it was obvious they weren't up for debate. You hated that they were right, you all did need Zuko, no matter your current opinion on him.
"Fine," you sighed, looking at Zuko, who was now standing awkwardly with his hands behind his back. "But stay away from me."
Over the next few days, Zuko had somehow managed to gain the complete and utter trust of everyone, even Katara. Everyone except you. Then again, you hadn't had your "life changing field trip with Zuko" that made everyone seemingly forget about everything he'd ever done to them. Field trip or not, earning your trust wasn't going to be that easy. You didn't care how many times he made everybody tea and told cringey jokes.
"Where did you learn to make so many different types of tea?" Aang inquired, causing everyone to look at Zuko, wanting to hear his answer.
Zuko returned to his seat around the fire between Toph and Aang, finally finished handing out small cups of tea. "My uncle, it's his favorite thing to make, he even owned a tea shop at one point."
"You mean the one you betrayed," you deadpanned coldly. You flicked your eyes up from the warm cup of tea in your hands to Zuko, wanting to see his reaction.
His smile faultered, and katara shot a disapproving look at you. For a second you felt guilty, maybe that was too far. He looked genuinely hurt by your comment, but soon another emotion took over his features. You could see it in the way he clenched his jaw and sat up straighter.
"Yeah. That one." His tone was one of poorly restrained bitterness, you'd definitely struck a nerve.
You hummed in response, refusing to break eye contact with him, like you were challenging him to say something equally as cold, but he didn't take the bait. Instead, he took a deep breath, just like his uncle taught him.
"I don't get it," He asked, frustrated and fed up with your snarky comments and side eyes. "Everyone else trusts me, why can't you?"
"You really have to ask?"
Katara could feel the tension and awkwardness of the impending argument hanging over everyone. This wasn't the time nor place to be having this conversation.
"I think now would be a good time for another healing session," she interjected, giving you a look that informed you she wasn't exactly asking. With a frustrated huff, you stood up and made your way to your tent, not even waiting for Katara to follow.
You plopped down onto your sleeping bag, sitting with your left side towards the opening.
Katara was there in a few minutes, holding a medium sized bowl of water in her hands. She gently set it down on the ground, taking a seat on your sleeping bag as well, facing your left side.
You tugged your left sleeve down so you could free it. With your shoulder now exposed, she carefully removed the bandages that covered your shoulder and the side of your neck, revealing the red and scarred skin hidden underneath.
"How does it look?" You asked, attempting to ignore the itchy feeling of the fresh air hitting your wound.
"It's healing, slowly" she answered as she conjured the water from the bowl and molded it with her hands. She purified the liquid, causing it it glow. Slowly, she lowered it until the cool water molded over your injured skin. You clenched your teeth and whimpered at the sudden sting the contact made, but then Katara started making circular motions with her hands, beginning the healing process. The stinging pain soon morphed into a comforting cold and relieving sensation.
Katara had done this for you and Aang multiple times since the gang escaped from that wretched crystal catacomb. As much progress as your skin had made in healing, you couldn't seem to wipe the painful memories of how you'd recieved such a wound from your mind. You could remember the events so vividly it was as if they'd happened yesterday.
You were stalling, Zuko and Azula knew that, yet they didn't seem to mind. If anything, Azula enjoyed watching you struggle to give your friends more time. You needed to stall them long enough for Aang to fully enter the avatar state, that's all.
"Come on, Zuko, you know what needs to be done!" Azula coaxed.
"No! You still have a chance Zuko, you can still make this right!" You could see the conflict rising in him as you and Azula tugged at his morals.
There was a moment, a single second where his emotions betrayed him, where you could see how badly he wanted to go with you and the gang. But it was gone just as fast as it came.
"I will kill the avatar and restore my honor, as well as my rightful place beside my father!" He launched into action, sending overpowering blows your way.
He kept you distracted and unable to help your friends long enough for Azula to strike down Aang. Your head snapped towards Katara's screams and you saw him laying there, completely unconscious.
You were distracted, and Zuko impulsively took advantage, sending a blast of orange and red flames towards you.
In all honesty, he expected you to dodge it, you always did without fail. But this time you were too distracted, too concerned with Aang, and he caught you completely off guard. You didn't even realize you were being attacked until the flames painfully scorched your skin.
You let out a horrifying scream as you crumbled to your knees, your shaky hand hovering over your left shoulder as you tried to control your instinct to grab it, knowing it would only hurt worse. You clenched your teeth together, biting back tears as you whipped your head around go see Zuko.
He looked shocked, remorseful even, but that didn't stop anger from edging its way into your glare.
You shuddered at the memory and tried to shake it from your head completely.
"You're all done," Katara said, maneuvering the water back into the bowl. A dull ache returned to your wound, but it felt significantly better than before.
"Thanks, Katara," you mumbled.
"Do you need help rewrapping the bandages?"
You shook your head, preferring to be alone and do the difficult task by yourself. Katara seemed to understand, because she didn't push the issue like she usually would. Instead, she left you with a few words.
"What you said was too far tonight, you should really apologize to Zuko, he is trying you know?"
She didn't wait for a response, not that you planned on giving much of one anyway, but soon you were alone, relishing in the peaceful silence.
But your silence didn't last long, just a few minutes after Katara left there was a whispering voice just outside your tent. It was unmistakable who'd come to visit you, and with great reluctance did you let him in.
"What do you want?" you asked, annoyance filling your voice. You refused to make eye contact with the boy, opting to stare at the mess of tangled bandages in your hands.
Your question was met with silence, that only seemed to worsen your mood. Really? He invades your tent just to ignore your one question? This guy was just unbelievable!
You could feel yourself loosing your temperature once again. "I said, what do you-" Your head snapped up at Zuko, ready to tell him off. But you froze when you saw his gaze, and how it held your figure. His jaw was slack, and his eyes swam as tears pooled at his lash-line. But his eyes never met yours. No, his focus was completely on the uncovered scar that graced your left side.
Your shoulder had taken most of the impact, just shy of being completely colored with a dull red scar. But the wound didn't stop there, covering a decent portion of your shoulder blade. The red marking also stretched up in a jagged stripe, narrowing to a point on the side of your neck, just barely marking your cheek.
You hated how you shuddered under his gaze, and had to look away. Your fingers moving faster as your tried to unravel the tangled bandage. You wanted to cover the burned area as soon as possible.
"I- I did that." It wasn't a question. He spoke purely in matter-of-fact statements, he knew exactly where you'd received your mark from.
"Yeah." You said sharply, picking up the bandage and moving to re-wrap the large wound.
"I . . . I am so sorry-"
"You've said."
Re-wrapping the affected area was proving to be more difficult than you'd thought, especially in your heightened state or frustration. Usually Katara did this part, and you were starting to regret sending her away.
"Please, let me help you," Zuko pleaded, reaching a shaky hand out to grasp at the bandage in your grip. You immediately flinched away from him, the sudden movement sending a sharp pain through your left side.
"Stay away from me!" You bit at him.
Zuko immediately pulled his hand back from you, as if he'd burned you unintentionally for a second time. "I'm sorry," he impulsively spilled out.
"Would you stop saying that? Stop apologizing, nothing is going to make me- ow!" Your own pain cut your sentence short, the sharp pain returning, sending another shock wave up your side at your frustrated movements.
"I'm so- just, please, let me help you and then I'll leave you alone, I promise."
You took a moment to think about the offer, and as much as you didn't want his help, the promise for him to leave is what enticed you to agree. So reluctantly, you handed him the bandages and positioned yourself closer to him, allowing Zuko to access your wound and wrap it with ease.
With slow movements, Zuko began wrapping the burned area. His touch was suprisingly gentle, even more so than Katara's, something you hadn't thought possible. But even with his feather-like touch, your skin still twitched as his fingers and the bandages made contact with the more sensitive areas. Zuko muttered out small apologies each time you flinched, despite your earlier message to stop that. Though the skin had begun the early stages of scarring, it was still sensitive.
"Uh, d-did I ever tell you how I got my scar?" Zuko asked suddenly, not even bothering to look up from his task. You knew what he was doing, he'd been doing things like that since he got here, trying to make small talk with you to cover up the awkward tension. You usually never entertained it, but for some reason tonight you felt intrigued by his question.
"No." You answered shortly, trying your best not to show your growing interest. You'd always been curious about the scar.
"My father gave it to me," he stated, oddly calmly. It was almost mindless the way he told the story as he continued to carefully wrap up your injury. Like the memory had become second nature to tell.
"Oh," you whispered out softly, your mind buzzing with a million different ways to respond to him, yet none of them felt right.
"I spoke out of turn during a meeting, over a general. They wanted to sacrifice an entire division of fire nation soldiers to gain the advantage. But I-," He swallowed thickly. ". . . I thought that was wrong so I spoke up."
You nodded ever so slightly, letting out a soft hum, showing that you were still listening and waiting for him to continue. At this point Zuko had finished wrapping the bandages around your burn, allowing you to turn your body to face him fully.
"My father was furious with my disrepect towards the general. He said that the dispute would need to be resolved with an agni kai, and I accepted. And when the day came I thought I'd be fighting the general I interrupted, but then my father walked out, my agni kai was to be against him."
With each word you felt your heart grow heavier and ache for the boy you swore you hated. You were beginning to question whether you genuinely hated him or if what you truly felt was left over betrayal and anger.
"How old were you?" You finally asked the question that had been bouncing around your head since he began the story.
"Thirteen, not long before I was banished."
You felt yourself boil with anger, but for once it wasn't directed towards the boy in front of you. No, you were furious with the Fire Lord. Who could do that to someone? To a child. Zuko must not have noticed the way your jaw clenched and your fists tightened into balls, because he continued the story as if he hadn't just made your heart drop into your stomach with his answer.
"I didn't want to fight my father, I couldn't. But he took my refusal as another sign of disrespect. I begged for his forgiveness, but he wouldn't hear it. He claimed that I would learn my lesson through suffering. He raised his hand just in front of my face and then he-"
His voice caught in his throat with a crack as he visibly grimaced from the sheer memory of the event. Instinctively, you reached out for his hand, placing yours over top of his much larger one. Now it was his turn to flinch at the sudden contact.
"Zuko, it's okay, you don't have to tell me this, I understand-"
"No! I do! I need you to understand that I never meant to hurt you! I need you to know that the last thing I wanted was for you to feel the same pain I did. After what my father did, I never wanted to inflict that on anyone. I knew that pain and yet I still hurt you . . . the one person who actually believed I could change!"
His hands flew into the air as his frustrated yells of regret were lost to the silent night. He then exasperatedly brought his arms back down and dropped his head into the palms of his hands. His body shook as he took in deep breaths, trying his best not to shed any tears. He was just so frustrated with himself.
"I thought you would dodge it," His muffled whimpers poured out. "You always dodged it."
It was then that you realized how cold you'd been to the boy. You were so caught up in your own hurt and anger, only concerned with making him feel as horrible as you had with your hurtful words. Not once had you considered that he was already kicking himself ten times harder for the pain he'd caused you. He really hadn't meant to hurt you.
And that's when you did something unexpected. In an impulsive attempt to comfort him, you threw your arms around his neck, pulling him in to a hug. His breath hitched, obviously shocked by the gesture, his body going stiff.
"I understand now, I forgive you, Zuko."
At those seven words he melted into your embrace, returning it as he wrapped his arms around your figure. His chin now rested on top of your good shoulder, as he was being extra cautious as to not press on your burns.
"And I'm sorry, for what I said about you and your uncle. He'd be proud of you."
His grip on you tighten, mumbling out a 'thank you,' in the process, finally feeling as though he could fully begin healing from all the wrong he'd done.
