Hello Fern I see that requests are open, I would like to hear anything and everything you have to say about Price's beard and in general the strength of his arms, his thighs, his back. Just how magnificent his body is. Maybe he sees you struggling with the groceries one day and he offers to carry them into your house for you (maybe you're neighbours) and then you've been harbouring a little crush on him but now you finally have him in your space so you offer him tea, ask him to stay and accompany you for dinner maybe. Maybe you guys kiss or the tension is really there but he refuses and says he wants to take you out on a date and truly wine and dine before bedding you like a real gentleman. You know how he is. Thanks!
Tumblr media
this facial hair will always be elite. like the gameplay when he's clean shaven? pass. well, no, i'd still smash, but you get the point. BEARD !!
18+, gn!reader, short drabble :)
a real gentleman, mhm mhm
helps you whenever you need it, whether it be fixing things around your house, doing some yardwork, or even bringing in the groceries, he's more than happy to help (and you're not complaining, especially when you get to watch him do it)
if the two of you do get a little close, the kiss he gives you is the best you've ever had. he's the type to cradle your face and push you up against the door or wall, pressing his body right up against yours as he swipes his tongue over your lips. it'll last a while, but not long enough :(
you want him to fuck you right then and there, seriously. but he can't. he's a gentleman ! he wants to take you out on a date first, of course. he wants to treat you right, and make sure you are comfortable. he'll even ask you where you want to eat, and what kind of food you like
then, after all that, he fucks you for the first time. still very much like a gentleman– your pleasure is paramount, and he'll make you come on his tongue a couple of times before he's even considering stuffing his cock inside you
he fucks you slow, too. missionary. likes to see your face, the expressions you make. any ounce of pain or uncomfortability (this isn't even a word LMAO but you know what i mean) then he's stopping and asking if you're okay
constantly praising you for making sounds and being so good for him. he'll make sounds too, grunts and groans, letting you know he feels just as good as you
and he'll make you breakfast in the morning <3

PAIRINGS: vampire!riki x human!reader
SYNOPSIS: you and your mom move into an old mansion after some struggles. but what happens when the mansion is actually occupied by 7 vampires and the youngest just can’t seem to keep his eyes off you.
GENRE: vampire au, fluff, a tiny bit of angst.
WARNINGS: mention of food, slight swearing, and Ni-ki is kinda rude.
WORD COUNT: 1,4k
Tumblr media
you didn’t want to move houses. you thought your apartment was cute and cozy, but according to your mom, it was cramped and suffocating. so what she did was buy an old crappy mansion out in the middle of nowhere.
you and your mom were in the car driving on a gravel path surrounded by tall pine trees. turning a corner you could see the place you were moving into. it sure was beautiful at least, with vines covering the outside and a great big gate giving an eery welcoming vibe. to some people, they’d think it was haunted, but you don’t believe in that stuff.
our car pulled up and you stepped outside. you took some time to admire the place. you knew there had to be something wrong with it because the price you bought it for was weirdly cheap. your mum got the key out and unlocked the door.
once you walked in you were overwhelmed. jesus this place was ginormous. the ceiling had amazing carvings and the walls had beautiful paintings. you walked up the long stairway to the second floor. the stairway was magnificent curling around up to the next floor.
“y/n your room is the third door to the right!” your mum called out to you from downstairs.
“ok thanks mum!” you saw the door and opened it. wow. your room was the biggest bedroom you have ever stepped foot in. You took your time to explore the painted walls and ceiling. the ceiling was painted with clouds and the walls were a beautiful baby blue color. a four-posted bed was leaned against the back wall with navy curtains that could wrap around it. two windows were displayed on either side of the bed with bright red curtains. maybe some changes could be made.
"who are you?" a sudden echo of a voice was projected through your new bedroom.
"what?"
"I said, who. are. you?" the deep voice came again. was this house seriously haunted? you thought to yourself.
"that's an insult," came the mysterious voice.
"what?"
"Is that the only word in your vocabulary or something?" the person that occupied the voice was still nowhere to be seen.
"calling this place haunted can be an insult to us. we don't haunt we just... occupy it," you couldn't lie, the voice was beautiful and you knew the face behind it would be as well. but you can't seem to help to grow a dislike for whoever it was.
"I'm confused, me and my mom thought no one lived here?"
"no one does live here. well, not any humans anyway" all kinds of thoughts started running through your head. is this thing some kind of ghost?
"I would prefer it if you wouldn't call me a 'thing' beautiful,' oh you really dislike the voice now.
you started eyeing around your room looking for the voice. the voice that wouldn't show its face. you took a look under your bed, disappointed to find nothing but an old stuffed teddy bear that the past owners must have left. you reached to pick it up and examined the toy. looks like it has been well-loved. you thought.
you stood up only to be met with an unfamiliar face.
"glad you like my bear," the surprise caused you to jump slightly. you had noticed fangs had appeared on either side of his mouth as he talked. vampire? no. no way.
"ah, you're a lot smarter than I thought," the tall figure looked down at you as you couldn't dare to look into his eyes.
"who are you?" you asked looking back at the stuffed bear in your hands.
"seems like you stole my question there... y/n," he knows my name? you couldn't bare stay with this 'thing' any longer. so you sprinted around the tall physique and tried to get to the door. only for him to spawn in front of you and block the exit.
"how do you know my name?" you asked, scared for an answer.
"I'm a vampire... I can read minds," answering like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"you didn't answer my first question, who are you?" you asked hoping for an actual answer this time.
"Riki, Riki Nishimura," the vampire said showing off his sharp set of teeth. as threatening as they are, no teeth could scare you. just the thought of being punctured in the neck by Riki did.
"so, are you the only vampire that lives here, or are there more?" you asked hoping for an answer that confirms he is the only one.
"there are six more of us,' SIX?! you suddenly thought of your mom. what if she had come across one? you had to get out of the bedroom.
"I- I have to leave! my mom, she could have come across one and-" you stuttered hoping Riki would move aside.
"no need to worry about that, they won't be interested in your mum," his answer made you stop your plan to escape.
"why?"
"we prefer them young and fresh," he said taking steps towards you.
"what.." you said in a whisper.
"...nah I'm just joking. they are all out doing who knows what," you felt a weight lift off your chest. so they aren't blood-sucking creatures?
"oh, we still drink blood don't get that wrong but only on very... very rare occasions," you stood there waiting for him to say he was joking again. until he didn’t.
“so, y/n I better let you get to your unpacking, ya’ need any help.. I won’t be here,” he vanished.
you took some time to adjust to what had happened. you and your mom had just moved into a house filled with vampires. even someone like you who doesn’t believe in stuff like this knows that this was very much real, and very much happening.
you can’t tell your mom. you just can’t. life has just been so difficult lately and you know she needs this fresh new start, in a fresh ‘new’ home.
you opened the door to leave your room and sprinted back down the stairs
"mom!" you called out but didn't get a reply. what if Riki had gotten to your mom. a thought u would dare to think of again. you ran around the first floor realizing how many rooms there actually were. too many.
"mom-"
"oh hey honey I didn't hear you. everything going well in your new room?" she asked standing up from behind the kitchen counter.
no, I met a vampire named Riki who lives here with his six other friends.
"yeah, my room is really nice," you wish you could tell her the truth but the truth could destroy her. she seems so happy.
"well that's great, I just got dinner ready how bout you eat?" you lost your appetite a while ago but you still couldn't resist your mom's cooking, so you both walked into the dining room. In the middle sat an extremely long dining table with exactly seven chairs.
seven chairs. seven vampires.
you took a seat in the one furthest down the table, as your mom sat in the one opposite. she laid out a plate of pasta in front of you along with a glass of water.
"thanks, mom," you said politely as you started eating. your mom didn't sit down instead she started to walk away.
"where are you going?" you asked intensively.
"oh I already ate, you spent quite a lot of time in that new room of yours so I'm going to go wash up," she then left leaving you in the ominous, scary dining room.
"your in my seat," the vampire you had met earlier was again before you sat in the opposite chair.
"you seriously can't leave me alone can you?" you asked looking up as you took a bite from your pasta. his mouth turned into a slight smirk showing his sharp canines.
"no one has come here for the past seven years, what do you expect?" the same obvious tone that he had displayed before had come back.
"yeah, well I didn't know that," you said quietly looking down at your food, as he wouldn't take his eyes off you.
"look, don't expect the others to go as easy on you as I did alright?" easy? he scared the living hell out of you two times now.
"when are they coming back?" you wanted to know so you could be prepared. but they could also easily pop up in front of you at any time.
"right about...now," you felt a gush of wind come from behind you, blowing your hair up.
there stood six tall, handsome vampires holding cups of red liquid. which could only be one thing.
blood.
Tumblr media
A/N: I accidentally deleted a 3k word fic and it's completely gone naur. oh well, I hoped you enjoyed this! 2nd part will be out soon.

Part 1 part 2 part 3 part 4
Tumblr media
"STOP," Tim shouts with satisfaction.
I involuntarily smile as I watch Jenna emerge from the bathtub after filming her scene. My eyes mischievously scan her curves highlighted by the wet clothing, and my cheeks flush from the thoughts that come to mind.
"Hey..." I timidly smile at Jenna, who looks at me with a smile on her lips.
Several drops slowly descend down her jaw, ending on her neck. Her eyes watch me, with wet eyelashes.
I swallow.
"Hello," Jenna says, brushing a wet strand of hair from her face.
A crew member approaches and hands Jenna a robe. Jenna silently thanks and turns her attention back to me.
"So, what did you think?" she asks, and I laugh at her expression.
"Truly magnificent," I confess with a small smile. "If it were up to me, I would have screamed because of the cold water," I laugh.
"Yeah... the idea crossed my mind," Jenna admits, clutching her robe around her, closing her eyes, and shivering from the cold.
"Listen... do you want to change, maybe have something warm? You're shivering from the cold," I ask, concerned.
Jenna shakes her head, looking at me seriously.
"Can I do something for you? Maybe I can fetch a sweater... I don't know..." I suggest and Jenna genuinely smiles, shaking her head.
"Well, you can actually do something," she says with a trembling voice, approaching.
I smile as I see Jenna wrap her arms around my waist, seeking as much warmth as possible. I start gently playing with her wet hair, moving some strands away from her face.
Jenna tilts her chin and looks at me with a small smile on her lips.
"Am I getting you wet?" she asks shyly, and I shake my head.
"You have the robe," I reply, obviously.
"God, my feet are so cold," Jenna murmurs. I can feel the girl shivering against my body.
"Take off your shoes," I say seriously, "and the socks," I add.
Jenna breaks the embrace and looks at me confused.
"What?" she says, smiling, watching as I bend down to remove her wet Dr. Martens boots.
"Wait," she exclaims with laughter, leaning on my shoulders to keep her balance.
"Come on, take off the other one," I say with a smile, taking off my own black Adidas. I remove my socks and place my bare feet on the floor, feeling a few shivers.
"I'm not used to being barefoot," Jenna shakes her head, and I roll my eyes at her comment.
"Sit down, okay?" I point to the chair with my gaze.
Jenna, resigned, walks to the chair, hopping on one foot and removes the other shoe.
"Okay, now put these on," I say seriously, placing my shoes in front of her.
"You're amazing," Jenna murmurs, surprised. "Really?" she says with bright eyes.
I nod, and she slowly puts on the shoes.
In the distance, I see Emma approaching with Georgie. Emma looks at us with a smile on her face.
"What's going on here?" Emma asks, confused, looking at my bare feet on the floor.
"Oh, nothing... Jenna had cold feet so I gave her my shoes," I reply, and Emma raises an eyebrow seeing how the shoes are slightly big on Jenna.
"Now you're barefoot?" Georgie asks with curiosity but a disgusted expression. "I can't imagine how uncomfortable that is," he says, shivering.
I laugh at his expression.
"But no, wait," Emma sighs and turns to a crew member. "Excuse me, sorry," Emma calls out kindly.
The guy turns around and looks at her curiously.
"Could you bring my friend some slippers?" Emma absentmindedly points to my feet, and I blush violently.
"Uh... sure," the guy responds with a touch of uncertainty.
"And tell me, would you like to come to my trailer during this break?" Georgie suggests enthusiastically. "A horror movie marathon," he concludes with a smile on her face.
Meanwhile, my slippers arrive.
"That would be great," I say, putting on the slippers and looking at Jenna. She gives me a quick glance before smiling at his friend. "Okay, but first, I'll shower and change. See you there," she adds, cinching her robe at the waist.
I take a few steps following Emma and Georgie, who are talking to each other when I suddenly feel a weight on my back.
"JENNA!" I say, surprised.
The girl has her arms around my neck and her legs wrapped around my waist, hugging me like a koala.
"What are you doing?" I ask, laughing.
Emma and Georgie have turned around to hear my scream and burst into laughter.
"Come on, accompany me," Jenna smiles genuinely, resting her head against my neck. I shiver as I feel her wet hair against my body.
"I'm tired of walking," she murmurs, getting comfortable.
"I'm going to take the princess to her dressing room. Can you just tell me the number of yours?" I say sarcastically and Emma and Georgie look at us with mischievous eyes.
I put my arms around Jenna's legs to keep her from falling.
"Sure... it's 77," he says and smiles. "See you there," he adds, waving her hand and resuming the conversation with Emma.
I start walking.
"You're my savior, you know?" Jenna says with a slight smile.
She squeezes her hands around my neck.
"It's not a problem, princess," I joke, making Jenna laugh. "And I don't want to keep you waiting too long; Georgie is waiting for us for the movie marathon," I add.
During the walk to her dressing room, we laugh and joke about the strange and funny situations of the day on the set.
"I hope I didn't stress you out too much," Jenna says, undoing her smile.
"Absolutely not, everything was fun and a great break from work," I reply sincerely.
We arrive in front of her trailer and I lower Jenna from my shoulders. She looks at me with gratitude, taking the keys to her trailer from her robe.
"Thank you," Jenna says, touching my arm lightly.
"I didn't do anything extraordinary," I confess with a nervous smile.
Jenna opens the door and leans against the frame, looking at me with bright eyes.
"So... see you with Georgie," she murmurs softly, absentmindedly biting her lower lip.
"Yes... and you can keep the shoes," I mumble, glancing at her feet for a moment.
"I will," Jenna laughs softly.
Jenna leans in, placing her lips on my cheek and giving me a gentle kiss. My cheeks turn red, and I smile unconsciously at her gesture.
"See you later," Jenna smiles, tilting her head and closing the door to her trailer.
My heart is pounding.
"Fuck... fuck!" I murmur to myself, smiling again at the thought of what just happened a few seconds ago. "This girl will be my downfall," I whisper and smile unconsciously

Logical Story Setting Doesn't Work
Anonymous asked: I was having trouble picking ideas. I made two different versions for my story, just to see what would be the better book. I really liked both, so I made a pro-con list. I still really like both, but one version makes more sense than the other and I think it's the one I should go with. Just one con that's a dealbreaker for me: logically it would be set around the 1500s. Maybe even earlier. And I'm not really a fan of that. I can't explain much, but this story is dependent on another story I'm writing. I don't want to give up the connection between the books, and I don't want to go with the worse version with the weak plot. But I'm not interested in the 1500s and it seems like heck of a lot of research. I doubt readers won't notice the timeline being a little funny if I just choose any setting I want.
(Ask has been edited for length...)
This is definitely a tough one, and unfortunately, you don't seem to have a lot of options. You either bow to fate and let the story be set in the 1500s, or you find a way to beef up the plot that isn't set in the 1500s. Let's talk through some options for both.
1 - Try to Get Interested in the 1500s - It isn't much fun to research and write about a time period you're not interested in, so it's worth seeing if there's a way to get interested. Watching movies or TV shows set in a similar time and place to your setting can help you get interested in a time period. Some shows and movies set in the 1500s: The Tudors, The Spanish Princess, Anne of the Thousand Days, The Other Boleyn Girl, Reign, Mary Queen of Scots, Elizabeth, Elizabeth: The Golden Age, Shakespeare in Love, Wolf Hall, Kingdom, A Discovery of Witches, Magnificent Century, Jodha & Akbar, Amaya... If your story is set somewhere not represented above, you can Google that location and "1500s" or "16th century."
2 - Find a Way to Move it Forward - Such a big part of writing is taking the time to brainstorm (and do a little brute forcing sometimes) to get things in our story to work right. It isn't fast, and it isn't particularly fun, and you could spend days trying to make something work, but sometimes that's just how writing is. Sometimes, you just treat the problem like a Rubik's Cube and you work it until it's solved. Odds are good if you really set your mind to it, you can find a way to make a later time period make sense.
3 - Fake It 'Til You Make It - Another option in that same vein is to just start writing the story in whatever time period you like better. Don't worry about it making sense, just start writing. If you're lucky, something will just click while you're writing and pave the way for you to make the preferred time period make sense. Worst case scenario, you'll have a better understanding of the story's needs and that may help you adjust the time period to something that works better.
4 - Strengthen the Weak Plot - Although you describe the non-1500s version as "the worse version with a weak plot," you also said you still really like it, and there must have been some pros for this version, so I think this idea is probably salvageable. Once again, it's gonna take some brute force to figure out what needs to happen to make it work, but this may be the better path. You can also try the "fake it 'til you make it" option with this one and see where it goes. It's often easier to improve a story once you know for sure what it's going to be.
5 - Look for a Third Option - As much as it may not seem ideal, it's just possible that there's a third option out there that bridges the gap between option one and option two. It's always worth taking the time to brain storm--go the Rubik's Cube route again--and puzzle it out until something hopefully clicks.
Hopefully one of these options will work for you!

What does Kim Velez say about inner conversations in the video? What made it easy for you to manifest in this video? My English is so bad that I want to watch the video but I don't understand anything. Could you briefly summarize what Kim Velez said? If you don't mind, could you summarize the Dylan James video please?
grateful for everything💘
hi! i'd be happy to do that for you :)
disclaimer: it's been a while since i've watched these videos so this is just a summary of the things that i took from them and got results from and use to this day!
this is the Kim Velez video that really helped me for anyone who wants to watch it (it starts at 3:20 lol). it helped me specifically with manifesting a specific person, but you can apply this to any of your desires. at the time i was watching Sammy Ingram and had the belief that i had to repeat the same exact affirmation over and over again every second of the day (example: my SP is constantly texting me). i would monotonously repeat the same affirmation all day long and had the limiting belief that you could only manifest if you use the same exact wording every time. this is NOT TRUE! but Sammy had instilled this limiting belief in my mind at the time. in this video by Kim, she talks about how saying affirmations all day long with the intent to create something and bring it into your 3D is not sustainable. part of the reason is because you're not fully living in the end. you're saying affirmations obsessively in order to get something instead of accepting the fact that it's already yours and creation is already finished.
[disclaimer: if repeating the same exact affirmations all day long works for you, continue doing this. but if you feel like this isn't working for you because you feel like you're obsessively saying affirmations in order to get something and you would like to change that, maybe this will help you. in the video, Kim points out that those types of affirmations work and will still get you what you want, but she suggests that you test out inner conversations and choose for yourself which feels better]
this is where the inner conversations come in. inner conversations are how you are talking to yourself in your mind throughout the day. it's your inner monologue. you want to manufacture inner conversations that you would naturally have if you already had your desire.
for instance, whenever i was manifesting my SP, this is an example of one of the conversations i would create in my mind:
"i love my SP so much, he is the best boyfriend i could ever have asked for. he is just so loving and attentive and perfect. i seriously can't wait to see him tomorrow. we're gonna have so much fun! we're gonna go on a cute little date and have a picnic! omg, i wonder what i should wear? maybe i'll wear my pink skirt..." and then i'd go on to plan my outfit and think about things that would happen on the date.
this literally helped me so much. i know it sounds kinda silly to plan an outfit in your head lol, but i remembered the inner conversations i would have when i was dating someone in the past and tried to recreate those. you don't have to plan an outfit or date if that doesn’t feel natural to you. that’s just what i did.
here is a transcript of what Kim Velez’s example of an inner conversation is in her video:
 “oh my god I’m in the best relationship of my life. I am so fucking amazing, I love the way this person loves me. I feel so loved and supported and valued and I am the fucking best. man it feels so good, no one can compare to me. I am such an amazing partner, my person appreciates me so fucking much. it is just so magnificent waking up to this person every day. i literally have the life that i fucking dreamed of.”
obviously Kim’s version is a lot more mature sounding than mine lol cuz i have the inner monologue of a young Gen Z girl. but that’s what i mean! don’t just repeat mine or Kim’s inner conversations in your mind, craft them to sound like thoughts/conversations you would naturally have! if you want you can write down a little script in your notes app or in a journal to give you an idea of what to say. but don’t repeat it monotonously every time, you can add random details every time.
obviously this takes a little more focus than just repeating the same exact affirmations over and over again, so i would do this while doing mindless activities such as dishes, cleaning, laundry, working out, showering, etc.
💛⭐️🌼🐝🍌🌙🍋🌟🌻
now for the summary of the Dylan James videos. I won’t link a specific one because this is what I learned from watching multiple videos of his. but Dylan really emphasizes the idea of it is done. what he recommends is when your desire pops into your mind to simply say “it is done” and force yourself to think about something else. this idea was kinda shocking to me at first because--like i said before--i had the limiting belief of having to repeat affirmations all day long. but i tried it out and it got me results SO. FAST.
basically the idea behind this is that you’re subconscious mind already knows what you want. you don’t have to keep telling it, it knows. declaring that you have something once is enough for it to manifest.
this is an analogy that has been used so many times but i love it so much. think of your affirmations as a seed. you declare “i have my desire.” that is you planting the seed. you have to trust that the seed will grow into a flower. in real life, if you plant a seed, it will not grow if you keep digging it up and making sure that it’s there and that the stuff you are doing to help it grow is working. manifesting is the same. if you keep thinking “it is working? is it coming soon? is it here yet?” you will be putting focus on the fact that it’s not here yet, instead of the fact that it is done and finished.
another thing Dylan emphasizes in his video is Trust. you have to trust that your manifestation is coming. you have to trust your subconscious mind, trust the process. you can’t keep obsessively worrying about it and whether or not it will happen/manifest. you have to trust that it’s done.
in his videos, Dylan encourages people to distract themselves throughout the day and to not think about your desire. like i said earlier, if you find yourself thinking about your desire, stop yourself and say “it’s done. it is so done I don’t even have to think about it” and force yourself to think about something else.
what i think is really helpful about this technique is that if you don’t think about your desire at all, then you don’t think negative thoughts about it. also by trusting the law and yourself so much that you can’t even be bothered to think about it is like a serious confidence and self-concept boost i swear. this is how i manifest most things because it literally works so fast for me. like within a day.
These two different “techniques” (for the lack of a better word), inner conversations and distracting yourself, can either be used together or separately. if you just want to do inner conversations, you can. if you want to do inner conversations during mindless activities and distract yourself and say “it is done” for the rest of the day, you can. or if you just want to throw yourself completely into never thinking about your desire anymore like Dylan James suggests you can do that.
or you can do none of these things! these are just the things that finally helped me to start manifesting consistently and gave me a huge breakthrough last year. if they resonate with you, great! if they don’t, you don’t have to do them. whatever feels natural and right to you :)
i’m sorry for the super long response LOL i didn’t expect to write this much. but i really hope this helps and makes sense! feel free to ask any further questions you may have :) !

The Advent Time is over, Happy Christmas!
We have achieved a 25 part and ~39k words long story written by ten people! Most works are rated G or T, and you can still follow the storyline if you skip the fic with adult content.
All works in the Ao3 Collection
The Advent story: Myka and the gang (Pete, Claudia, Leena and Steve) live in an apartment and Helena moves in with them. Myka finds herself attracted to Helena, but remembers Pete's golden rule "Don't get involved with your roommates", so she tries to repress the infatuation and sets rules for herself. In each fic, one of these rules gets explained - and then summarily thrown out the window!
Moodboard for the story
Part 1: The Crush
Read the entries for day 1 and 2 first as an introduction to the AU! Under 3k words long, all rated G
1. Never Fall for your Roommate: December 1st: Move-in, new roommate
2k G by @lavendelhummel tumblr
Helena is moving in on the first of December.
2. Never have a crush on your flatmate
<1k G by @purlturtle tumblr
"Never get a crush on your flatmate" - well, good luck with that, Myka!
Part 2: The Rules
While some parts refer to past ficlets, you can pretty much read the entries to days 3-17 in any order you like, and if there is anything you don’t like to read, because of a topic or the smut fic, you can skip it and continue with the other fanfic. Over 20k words total
3. Never be alone with the housemate you have a crush on
<1k G by @akittennameddaisy
Rule 3: Never be alone with the housemate you have a crush on. Guess how well that goes.
4. Never tell her how much you like her hair
<1k G by @viharistenno tumblr
Myka's quickly developing crush combined with Helena's disarming smile and her undeniably magnificent hair leads to some inner struggle.
5. Don't Stare!
1k rated T by @lilolilyr tumblr
Myka can't seem to stop looking at Helena. She has every intention to stop, but then she runs into her somewhere unexpected...
6. Never let Helena persuade you to watch a movie with her
<1k G by @purlturtle tumblr
because forced prolonged proximity in a dark room and WHO EVEN KNOWS what kind of movie Helena might pick!
7. Never borrow Helena's clothes
1k G by @jesstrel
Myka gets distracted. Hijinks ensue...
8. Never Let Your Crush Wear Your Clothes
3k G by @lilolilyr tumblr
It’s not that Myka doesn't want to lend Helena clothes, rather she'd enjoy it way too much! alas, that resolution doesn't last very long...
9. Don't let her convince you to go to the gym with you
1k G by @purlturtle tumblr

Chapter 3 Invitation To The Dark Night
WARNING: The following story contains gore, murder, and so much blood.
(Night deliveries will be fine, once I get used to it....next one is the last one)
It was a magnificent mansion among the townhouses that lined the street.
Tumblr media
(Hmm...I don't see a mailbox here)
(It's also nighttime, so I can't yell....let's see)
When I gently touched the gate, I heard a slight creak...and the gate opened inward.
(It's unlocked?....Now that's careless)
Kate: "Excuse me, I'm from the post office......is anyone home?"
I went through the gate and peeked into the dimly lit entrance hall where the lights were out.
(Is someone playing the piano....?)
Out of nowhere, I hear a piece of melodious music.
Tumblr media
The light and joyful tone echoing in the dark night without the sound of wind, gives the impression of something strange.
(....I'm sure it must be the owner playing the piano. If I just leave his letter here, unattended, then he might lose it)
(And if I don't deliver it properly, then....)
Fearfully, I took a step forward.
The sound of my own footsteps walking down the polished hall mingled with the melody of the piano.
(Somehow, I don't feel comfortable)
I should be fulfilling my duties, but somehow I feel like I'm making a horrible mistake.
(Let's hurry up and get this over with)
(Looks like the music....is coming from the hall ahead)
I knock on the door, but the music doesn't stop...and then I slowly started getting impatient.
I put my hand on the doorknob, as if I was rushed by anxiety.
Kate: "Um..excuse me..."
Tumblr media
Kate: "Mm."
(.....Hm?)
A bright red fountain spouted out in front of me.
The thing that sent pulsating, bright red droplets of blood rolled noisily on the floor.
(W-What the....?)
My eyes met at the 'thing' that rolled to my feet.
The 'thing' had a look of anguish on its face and a deadly knife was stuck to his neck.
Kate: "!?"
A gulp escaped my throat. A tepid liquid dripped down my cheek and a feeling of discomfort ran down my spine.
(Why)
???: "Well well, I didn't realize we would be having an audience."
I hear a voice following me and my throat, still drawn tight, quivers.
When I look back----
Eight shadows, darker and blacker than darkness,
Tumblr media
They all gazed at me quietly, illuminated by the faint white moonlight.
As to figuring out what I am or...
If I'm plotting something.
One of them slowly rises from the piano.
Man with red eyes: "What a surprise. It's the little robin I met today."
Kate: "Ah.....you.....you are...?"
It was the same man with red eyes, whom I met by chance in London today.
I stare back at them seriously, unable to comprehend anything more than that.
Man that looks like a cat: "Does she know you, Will? Does she know about us too?"
Man with red eyes: "I just happened to have a little chat with her on the street this afternoon, Liam. She doesn't know anything about the Crown."
Tumblr media
(Crown....?)
Man that looks like a cat: "I see. Now that's a problem. What should we do now....?"
The man looks at me and smiles softly in a flamboyant tone that is out of proportion to the perfect crime scene.
(He looks happy....in spite of this situation)
His friendly pink eyes sparkled with curiosity.
Aloof man: "Sorry if that freaked you out, but these are just props for a stage play."
A man who appears to be a playboy points at the corpse with his chin and throws a streaming look at it.
Kate: "Liar...."
I couldn't help but recall the raw, tepid feeling on my cheek.
Tumblr media
Aloof man: "....It would have been good for you if you had pretended to believe me."
Aloof Man: "What do we do now, Will?"
Man with red eyes: "Of course, the right thing to do now is to take her to the Palace of the Death."
Best man: "Tch...I told you to lock the door, didn't I?"
Man with a gun: "Haha, I didn't think you'd go so far as to trespass. You're a pretty bad girl, aren't you, young lady?"
Tall young man: "Why don't you come over here? You can't run away now anyway."
The moment I heard those words, I felt fear run through my body.
(W-What should I do....? How can I escape from this....!)
I scolded my trembling legs and was about to back away when-----
Blood-red eyes held me captive.
Tumblr media
Man with red eyes: "Come here, poor little robin."
(Eh?!)
The moment he whispered sweetly to me, my feet started to move toward him on their own.
(No way...! Why can't I stop!? Stop!!)
Kate: "Stop....!"
My feet which were moving against my will, stop dead in front of him.
Man with red eyes: "Pardon me for my rudeness."
He gently pulled my hips in as if we were dancing the waltz.
(Is he going to kill me)
The scent of fragrant roses tickles my nose....and a soft touch caresses my cheek at the same time I close my eyes.
(Eh....?)
Tumblr media
Man with red eyes: "That should do it."
(Ah....)
He smiled gently and released me from his arms.
(Perhaps he wiped the blood off my cheek...just now)
He actually wiped it.
I relaxed and collapsed on spot.
Man with red eyes: "Sorry it took me so long to introduce myself. My name is William. William Rex."
Against the moonlight, he bowed reverently and extended his hand to me.
(William Rex....)
The fingertips stained in blood opened slowly and invitingly.
Man with red eyes: "I invite you to dinner tonight. Young lady, what is your name?"

Saint Seiya: Dark Wing Chapter 34: The Vessels and the Souls of the Specters
Page 1
Page 2
Seirim: - Hah hah! - Hahahah!! - A powerful cosmo has come together! - I offer myself as sacrifice. - The sabbath is complete!!
Page 3
Seirim: - And now the new world - Lord Demiurgos wishes for...!! - Hah hah hah hah!
Page 4
Yoruhime: - ...
Chunfeng: - Lady Pandora!
Page 5
Yoruhime: - I wonder... - I think sabbaths - were witches' rituals. - And what's with that card?... - This night - is not over yet...
Page 6
Yoruhime: - Celestial Wailing Star Harpy, - well done. - That was a magnificent fight.
Chunfeng: - Ah, no! - I was only doing my job as a Specter!
Yoruhime: - Now that the barrier is broken, - let's regroup with Wyvern and Sphinx.
Page 7
Chunfeng: - Huh... - Even Lord Wyvern couldn't defeat that, huh?...
Shoichiro & Soujiro: - Woooooh! - Huh?!
Page 8
Shoichiro & Soujiro: - Whoa!...
Soujiro: - Ow... - The barrier just vanished?
Shoichiro: - Which means... - ...someone defeated the King of Diamonds Seirim?
Soujiro: - I hope so.
Page 9
Eulalia: - (Anyone there?...) - (I can't stand up, all my bones are a mess.)
Soujiro: - ?! - Sorry, Sho! I've gotta go!
Shoichiro: - Soujiro?!
Page 10
Shoichiro: - So Saints can jump from a height like this... - (I never tried it...) - (...but maybe I can do it too?...) - (What the—?!) - (What's this tremendous presence?!...) - (It looks like it's not over yet... No...) - (This is something) - (even more terrifying?!...) - Ah!
Page 11
Yoruhime: - Shoichiro!
Shoichiro: - You're all here!...
Yoruhime: - I'm glad you're okay, - Shoichiro.
Shoichiro: - I've been here with Soujiro. - We were trapped by an enemy called Seirim.
Charlotte: - That enemy was just defeated.
Chunfeng: - (Ahem!) - That's right!
Page 12
Chunfeng: - I, the Wailing Star Harpy, - totally beat her!!
Shoichiro: - (Oh!...) - Chunfeng! - That's amazing! - Then you saved me. - Thank you!
Chunfeng: - (Heheheh!) Go on! - Praise me some more!
Shoichiro: - How did you do it? - That was really amazing, Chunfeng!
Page 13
Esther: - Sorry I'm always late.
Yoruhime: - (Heart thumping) - Celestial Beast Star Sphinx Esther! - You showed up out of nowhere.
Esther: - By the way, I found something lying around the school building. - The Celestial Noble Star Gryphon…
Page 14
Esther: - We were looking for people - who could be vessels for his cosmo and such.
Yoruhime: - (Heart thumping) - Thank you... Esther. - Who is he?
Esther: - His name is Lucas Hagen. - Here.
ID card: Grade: 3, Class: A Full name: Lucas Hagen
Page 15
Shoichiro: - Lucas?!
Yoruhime: - He called himself Celestial Noble Star Gryphon Minos. - We came across him too.
Shoichiro: - Lucas...
Yoruhime: - It looked like he was defeated in battle against the Scorpio Gold Saint, - and his fierce soul fell into slumber.
Page 16
Esther: - I administered him first aid. - His life was saved, but...
Shoichiro: - But?...
Esther: - To be honest, he was seriously injured, - so I don't think he'll be waking up anytime soon.
Shoichiro: - Lucas... - I don't believe it... - How could this happen?...
Page 17
Shoichiro: - Besides... - He called himself Gryphon "Minos"? - Not "Lucas"? What does that mean?...
Yoruhime: - While I was using Pandora's cosmo, - I remembered a few things. - "Minos" was the name of a Specter... - in a previous Holy War, - possibly from a different time and space.
Page 18
Shoichiro: - (Shudder) - The name - of a Specter... - (Then...) - (...within my Surplice...)
Page 19
Chunfeng: - Maybe... - Our Surplices hold - the memories of our soul's cosmo. - I felt those memories too.
Page 20
Charlotte: - Minos looked at us and said, - "you don't belong to the Underworld Army I'm familiar with." - And - he also referred to his body as "this vessel".
Shoichiro: - So Lucas is the Celestial Noble Star Gryphon, - but he was possessed by this "Minos"?
Yoruhime & Charlotte: - (Nod)
Page 21
Yoruhime: - In essence, - "Specters" - are people who have mastered a strong cosmo, - and are elligible to become a "vessel" - for the memories in the cosmo that resides inside the Surplices.
Page 22
Yoruhime: - They awaken - as their previous selves, deprived of their heart and soul.
Charlotte & Shoichiro: - What?...
Pages 23 + 24
Yoruhime: - Bearing the same soul, - they fight the endless Holy War of the gods over and over again. - That's the true nature of Specters.
Page 25
Shoichiro: - So that's why... - ...Lucas called himself a "vessel"?...
Yoruhime: - When I awoke - as Pandora... - the knowledge of loyalty - towards Lord Hades and towards the Twin Gods - was instilled in my heart.
Shoichiro: - (Gulp)
Yoruhime: - Perhaps that's what it means to be a Specter...
Page 26
Yoruhime: - Through the power of Lord Hades, - the souls that dwell in the Surplices get reincarnated. - You see, that's the system. - Hmm… - However, in this Holy War, - Lord Hades and Athena have barely any cosmo. - As a result, we "vessels"... - ...still retain our own will.
Page 27
Yoruhime: - I assume this was likely also orchestrated - by the False God Demiurgos. - He's been manipulating souls and reincarnation itself - just to turn us into pawns - in his own play.
Chunfeng: - Well… - Despite that…
Page 28
Chunfeng: - ...I'm happy - that we're all fellow Specters now!
Esther: - Hmm… - I wonder if in the last Holy War and in those different time-spaces - the Specters were an army of beautiful girls like us.
Shoichiro: - (Uhhhh…?)
Chunfeng: - Well... - The Wailing Star Harpy that I felt - had like an aura of a tough handsome man. - (Like this...)
Page 29
Chunfeng: - (Huh??) - Which means... - If that's true - would I have become a handsome guy?!
Yoruhime: - Well, the gender... - ...who knows? - (Hmmm...)
Shoichiro: - (Uh...) - (Personally, I'd be happy if there were a few more male Specters...) - (Sigh...) - Maybe that ferocious side of me - comes from the will of the original Wyvern's soul... - But both "he" and I...
Page 30
Shoichiro: - ...want to protect the Lady Pandora. - I think we both share that same strong feeling.
Yoruhime: - Oh...
Charlotte & Chunfeng & Esther: - (Oh, would you look at that!...)
Page 31
Yoruhime: - (Gulp!) - In that case, there's nothing to worry about. - I'm counting on you, Celestial Fierce Star Wyvern. - Anyway! - It's too soon to relax. - That Clown, - the King of Diamonds Seirim, mentioned the word "sabbath", didn't she? - Her goal was that sabbath, - To successfully complete some kind of ritual.
Page 32
Yoruhime: - This large-scale - nasty battle using the Gryphon's soul must have been for that purpose too. - Be sure to stay vigilant.
Charlotte & Chunfeng & Esther: - Yes!
Shoichiro: - (There's a foul) - (sensation in the black wind.)
Page 33
Shoichiro: - (I'm sure) - (something) - (is not right...)
To be continued...

About like... 19 years later, and this guy is still the best villain in any animated series.
Tumblr media
Between the lack of screentime, the almost inhuman aura he had in Book 1 and Book 2, his buildup through Zuko, Azula, Sozin, Roku, Zhao, and just the Fire Nation overall, all the way up to his reveal in Book 3 where we see his true psychotic colors on full display combined with how legitimately pathetic he actually is as a person despite all of his power.
Like seriously as much as folks love the terrifying and tragic magnificent bastard that is Azula, her father is undeniably a far better villain that you're happy to see get his shit kicked in. Love hating this Loser Lord.

💔: If you had to remove one major character from the series, who would you choose?
Well, first off, it can't be a historical domain character for obvious reasons. Like maybe Hatice sultan is unimportant enough historically that you could tell the story of Süleyman the Magnificent without her? Still, her show version was, like it or not, a pretty important part of the fabric of the show, so.
I guess it depends on your definition of a major character, but if you're asking me about people who brought nothing of value to the show, and since this is the unpopular opinion corner...
In terms of value brought to the show vs time spent on them...
BALI BEY
No, seriously. What the fuck was this guy's overall contribution to this show?! His cringeworthy love affairs? His over-the-top fight scenes? His dumbshit rivalry with Rüstem? I'll admit, he wasn't awful 100% of the time, in fact in the second half of season 2 and season 3 I mostly didn't mind him, but he didn't do anything that would make me miss him if he disappeared from the show either.

3. Surprise Party – TMNT 1987 
This is totally inspired by iztarshi's birthday loop fic please go check it out.
After a very long day of fending off several well-meaning friends, acquaintances, and enemies—those might not have been well-meaning. Probably not? Hard to say—Leonardo is exhausted.
Who knew unplanning surprise parties was even harder than planning them?
Look, Raphael made it very clear last year that he did not enjoy his birthday, nor did he appreciate anyone's attempts to make him celebrate it. Leonardo could make some sacrifices to respect those wishes.
But after a whole day of it, he is really and truly beat, so when Michelangelo suggests ordering in and having a movie night, he readily forgoes his planned meditation session. Pizza and bad monster movies: the great panacea for every teenage turtle.
He unsurprisingly spends most of the film just shy of sleep until the snap of the television shutting off startles him back to awareness. Raphael releases the remote to the clutches of the couch cushions with a jaw-cracking yawn.
Donatello and Michelangelo, he notices, are curled together on a pillow nest at the base of the couch. They likely drifted off partway through the movie, equally exhausted from their day of misadventures.
"Well, gang," Raphael announces, perhaps unaware they're the only two awake, "It's officially a new day. And I must say, I am just so crushed that not one of you wished me a happy birthday yesterday."
Confusion laps at the edge of his consciousness as the words filter in. Was it really past midnight alre—
Wait. Crushed? By what?
No, not physically. He's upset. With them?
Oh no, he's hurt his little brother, hasn't he? He told Donatello they should have asked Raphael before making plans behind his back. Leonardo lurches forward to grab Raphael in a hug.
"Oh, you're awake," Raphael pats his shell automatically, "and crying. I was kidding, Leonardo."
Crying, right. The jumble of sensations on his face is starting to make more sense. He clings a little more.
"Man, I always forget how weepy you are when you're tired." Raphael shuffles around, readjusting for as much comfort as possible with his arms full of sniffling turtle.
Raphael sighs, "Look, I may not be a Ninja Master, O Great One, but my senses work perfectly well. Despite what I will magnanimously assume were your best efforts, I know what you three got up to today."
Leonardo blinks until he's somewhere a little closer to wakefulness. "Oh."
"And Michelangelo might be loud, but Mondo Gecko is a lot louder."
He giggles at the memory of Michelangelo trying to yell over Mondo Gecko. At about midday, he'd all but invaded the lair with an unholy number of streamers and party hats, singing "Happy Birthday" at the top of his lungs. "Oh."
Raphael peers down at him with a smirk, "Eloquent."
He leans up to double-check Raphael is un-crushed physically and emotionally, smushing his cheeks with great seriousness. "So, you’re not upset?"
"No, Leonardo." Raphael endures the smothering but not without sounding incredibly put upon. "I am not upset about our quote-unquote 'absolutely, one hundred percent normal, honestly-it'll-just-be-like-any-other day.'"
They both chuckle at the reminder of Donatello's words that morning. They sound silly coming from Raphael, but he has a gift for matching their brother's unwavering earnestness with biting humor.
Then quietly, so quietly Leonardo only hears it because he is fully in Raphael's personal space, he begrudgingly adds, "A day that the three of you went to truly ridiculous lengths to maintain."
And maybe he's just tired, worn out, and bleary, but tucked beneath the familiar sass, Leonardo detects a kernel of gratitude.  
"Oh."
With a magnificent roll of his eyes, Raphael finally shoves him away. "Well, now you just sound like a broken record. How are you still awake? You look like the dead."
"Because I am." He sinks back into Raphael's arms, words muffled as he nuzzles closer. "You are speaking with the ghost of Leonardo."
"Hah! Go to sleep, you goof."
"Hmmkay. Good night, Raphael. Happy unbirthday."
He huffs, "Who, me?"
And then Leonardo finally, blessedly falls asleep.

Children of the Circus
Friday, 3 November 2023 - Reported by Marcus
Tumblr media
A new audio musical drama, Children of the Circus, is reuniting the cast of the seventh Doctor story, The Greatest Show in the Galaxy for a unique special.
The limited edition CD set will be released on December 14th, 2023, exactly 35 years to the day that the first episode of The Greatest Show in the Galaxy was broadcast on BBC One.
Once upon a time, there was a circus. A Psychic Circus, to be precise. A glorious haven for the misfits of the universe. But then, as is so often the way, it was hijacked by a trio of malevolent Gods. Things grew unpleasant.   Now, years later, the Gods are gone, but the scars of those who survived the Circus remain. After all, you can't change the past.   Unless you're the Children of the Circus... and you're willing to sing.
Based on the Season 25 story by Stephen Wyatt, Children of the Circus is a brand-new, original, musical play on audio from AUK Studios; written by Kenton Hall (with songs by Christopher Guard) and based on an idea by Barnaby Eaton-Jones.
The special features the return of Sylvester McCoy (the Seventh Doctor) and Sophie Aldred (who played the Doctor’s traveling companion, Ace). But not as you’d expect. McCoy plays the High Poet; all befuddled charm and with a whisper of duplicity and danger. Aldred gives two magnificently different characters in the form of Captain Gren (the gruff owner of a Time Ship) and AJ (a sentient piece of rust, who navigates the Time Ship).
McCoy himself sums it up 
To return to the worlds of Stephen Wyatt's imagination, but as a wholly new character called the High Poet, means I get to be involved with the Psychic Circus rather than fighting against it! As a lover of the circus myself, juggling this new role was a joy (though I'm sad I didn't get to play the spoons). What fun to be reunited with all the wonderful cast from 'The Greatest Show in the Galaxy' again, 35 years later, and I hope you'll all enjoy this time-sliding, sidestepping sequel from Barnaby Eaton-Jones and his bunch of clowns!
Tumblr media
Joining the cast in a major role is 1980’s icon (singer/actress/songwriter), Toyah Willcox. It’s long been known she was a fan of Doctor Who, as she appeared in Kevin Jon Davies’ acclaimed documentary 30 Years in the TARDIS, but to get her to create a multi-voiced role as The Band of Infinite Harmony (and get her own solo song, which can heard in full after the end credits as a bonus extra track) was something she clearly relished…
At last, I get to play all four members of the band and still have the last say…. love it. Seriously it was wonderful to play THE BAND and equally wonderful to hear this rather fab story unfold, a rock and roll odyssey of comic proportions.
Ever since producer/director Barnaby Eaton-Jones saw the original broadcast of The Greatest Show in the Galaxy, he was fascinated by the world that Stephen Wyatt had created…
There was such a wild mix of horror, science fiction, music, and fantasy, that it blew my adolescent mind; with images and characters forever stuck in my head. I wanted to revisit some of the characters and introduce new ones. With the permission of Stephen Wyatt (who came up with the title for this new production), and the help of writer Kenton Hall and actor/musician Christopher Guard, we were able to create something rather unique in the audio medium.
Kenton Hall himself says:
Like most swinging, modern people, I receive a daily deluge of emails that begin with the fateful words “would you be interested in…” As a result, I have developed a tendency to give them, at best, a brief, withering glare. In this case, however, it read “would I be interested in playing in the sandbox of Stephen Wyatt’s marvellous ‘The Greatest Show in the Galaxy’?”  Does the lesser spotted gumblejack smell faintly of cinnamon? Spoiler: the answer to both questions is yes.
Songwriter, Christopher Guard, who played Bellboy in the original TV serial, added…
As with all the best things in life, I don't remember quite how or when it began. I think I'd sent some of my songs - recent and ancient - to Barnaby just as he was dreaming up a sequel to ‘The Greatest Show in the Galaxy’. It was more a shooting star than a light bulb moment. Irresistible synchronicity had struck, and ‘Children of the Circus’ was a THING! It was just a question of time. Or timelessness. Stephen Wyatt blessed us, Kenton Hall seized his cosmic pen, and the rest is mystery. Unravelled. With music. How amazing to act and sing with so many of the original cast, to slip into Bellboy's loons once more, and to travel seamlessly beyond our wildest dreams.”
Starring Christopher Guard as Bellboy, Dee Sadler as Flowerchild and Ella, Sophie Aldred as Captain Gren and AJ, Toyah Willcox as The Band of Infinite Harmony, Ian Reddington as Delios and the Chief Clown, and Sylvester McCoy as the High Poet.
With Daisy Dunlop, Verity White, Kim Jones, Kenton Hall, Barnaby Eaton-Jones and Ian Kubiak.
Special guest appearances by Ricco Ross as The Ringmaster, Jessica Martin as Mags, Chris Jury as Deadbeat, Deborah Manship as Morgana, Gian Sammarco as Whizz Kid, Daniel Peacock as Nord, and Dean Hollingsworth as the Bus Conductor and Station Announcer.
Produced and directed by Barnaby Eaton-Jones, for AUK Studios.

Tumblr media
"You just don't know when to give up do ya?"
Steve breathed hard. "I can do this all day," he swung a punch at the insolent guy who had the audacity to disrespect the soldiers who were out protecting their country.
He blocked Steve's punch and sent him flying backwards into a trash can, that rattled on impact.
"HEY! Pick on someone your own size!" Bucky pulled the guy backwards out of the dingy alley they were in. He tried to punch Bucky but missed, allowing Bucky to punch him in return, and kick him out of the alley.
Bucky walked back to Steve, "sometimes, I think you like getting punched." "I had him on the ropes," Steve assured him, not very convincingly. Bucky bent down to pick up a letter that Steve had dropped. "How many times is this?" Bucky asked sarcastically.
He read the letter - no, enlistment form. "Ah, you're from Paramus now?" He asked condescendingly. Steve payed him no attention, focused on checking if he had bruised himself anywhere. "You know it's illegal to lie on your enlistment form. And seriously, Jersey?" He sighed.
Steve looked up to retort but he took in Bucky's appearance. He was wearing a uniform- a soldier's uniform. "You get your orders?" he asked.
Bucky took a deep breath and tried to appear as cocky and confident as he could, as he wanted to be what Steve wanted to be; a fighter. "The 107th. Sergeant James Barnes. Shipping out for England first thin tomorrow."
"Have you told her?"
"No, not yet. I'm planning to break the news to her after her shift. I'm picking her up."
"I should be going," Steve reluctantly sighed.
Bucky grinned, "Come on man," he hooked an arm around his shoulder, "It's my last night!" He pulled out the newspaper he'd been holding. "Gotta get you cleaned up," Bucky threw the enlistment form behind him. "Why? Where are we going," Bucky passed him the newspaper.
"The future."
Tumblr media
You waited outside the hospital, already changed into the light grey dress Bucky told you to bring with you, as he said he would be bringing you out in the evening.
You saw two figures walking towards you, your brother and Bucky. Slightly disappointed that it wasn't just the two of you, you waved at them. "Ready to travel through time, doll?" Bucky jokingly asked, poking your waist with the newspaper he was holding.
"With you, always."
Tumblr media
"I don't see what the problem is. You're about to be the the last eligible man in New York," Bucky justified after Steve complained about not being able to fight alongside Bucky. "You know there's about 3 and a half million women here."
"I'd settle for just one," Steve joked.
"Good thing I took care of that," you said as you waved to one of your colleagues you had asked to be Steve's date for today. She was complaining about wanting to go to the Stark Expo but not wanting to go alone. So, you set her up with Steve, and asked her to come to the Stark Expo.
Steve looked at you indignantly. "What did you tell her about me?" he grumbled, as he adjusted his hair.
"Only the good stuff," you smiled.
Tumblr media
"Welcome to the modern marvels pavilion and the world of tomorrow; a greater world; a better world."
You and Bucky were walking ahead, hands intertwined, as you looked around at the magnificent innovations on display, all courtesy of Howard Stark. The applause coming from the stage drew your attention away from one of the exhibitions as you saw chorus girls lining up in front of a shiny dark grey automobile.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Mr Howard Stark!"
Howard Stark walked in flamboyantly, as one would expect the greatest innovator of the time to. One of the chorus girls walked over to take his hat, Howard thanking her with a kiss, and her passing the microphone over to him. A faint "I love you Howard!" was heard from the crowd making you and your colleague, Ruth, giggle. You and Bucky watched intently, while Steve, less interested, offered popcorn to Ruth. Ruth responding with a look that could have convinced someone that Steve was handing her a bag of dead rats, was enough to make Steve retreat his hand.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what if I told you that in just a few short years, your automobile won't even have to touch the ground at all," He announced.
Gasps of astonishment filled the audience.
"With Stark Rubidic Reversion Technology, you'll be able to do just that."
"Once we get rich we should get one of those," you whispered to Bucky. He smiled at that.
Some girls pulled the tires off and carried them to the side.
Howard Stark turned a knob at the panel next to him, and pushed a lever upwards. The automobile started to float.
"Holy cow," you and Bucky said in sync.
Howard stark proudly smiled at the audience, but that pride didn't last long. Sparks started erupting near where the propelling devices were, and the car fell to the ground in a crash. You, Bucky, and Steve laughed while Ruth didn't look all that impressed.
"Now, I did say that it would take a few years, didn't I," Howard finished as the crowd broke out in applause again.
"Hey, Steve, what do you say we treat these girls-" Bucky stopped as he noticed Steve wasn't next to him. "Where's Steve?" You asked.
"Beats me."
You looked around and found a small building that had a sign which you couldn't quite read. It was always like this. You tapped Bucky's shoulder, a silent plea for him to help you. Luckily, Bucky wasn't "mentally deficient" and "lazy" like you were called in school, and even at work; he read it. "United States Army Recruitment Centre," He laughed. "Knowing your brother he's probably in there, sulking about not being recruited into the army. Probably also conning his way in," he stated, gesturing at the building. "We should head there before he actually does that," you suggested. You turned to Ruth, but she wasn't there. You looked to where the crowd was scattering, and there she was, hurrying away, with her head down, trying not to be obvious. "I guess she wasn't that interested," you said to Bucky who had also spotted her.
"Let's go find Steve."

Just watched the entirety of Centaurworld today, and my thoughts are kind of split
The show in general was fine solid 6 to 7 out of 10, but there were some parts that I absolutely LOVED so it will stay on 7/10
Spoilers under the cut if you care
Now listen, I love rider, top 2 favorite characters, but I don't like their fake-out death, I think they should have died, otherwise what even was the point of their dying scene, and it's not like there's any story left that would need her to be alive
But everything before the timeskip in the ending I really liked, especially the end of the nowhere king
I think the show in general was fine, the messages were nice and written in a fine way, but most of the time wasn't anything special. But everything involving the nowhere king was aboslutely fantastic, definitly the best part of the show
It's very refreshing that a childrens comedy show with a vibe like this has a villain that is not only terrifying, well written, but also taken seriously by the show and the wacky characters in it, like the zaney characters don't joke around about the villain and actually treat him as the horrifying presence that he is
My three favorite characters in this show are as follows
1. Nightmare king, I've already mentioned him a couple of times, but I will never get over how genuenly terrifying and awesome this guy is. AND HIS BACKSTORY OH MY GOSH HIS BACKSTORY THEY ACTUALLY WENT SO HARD WHEN THEY WERE WRITING THIS CHARACTER AHHHHHHH
Also, his lullaby is hauntingly beautiful and a very good descriptor of him
Tumblr media
2. Rider, gotta be honest, this is mostly because of the design, but I do also really like her calm and collected personality, it's a nice break from the insanity that can be centaurworld sometimes. I really like the duality of choosing bewteen your best friend and the person you've been idolising you're whole life, but barely know. Her lullaby also has a very nice vibe that makes me feel safe and calm, great voice. But come on!! Just look at her!!!! How can you not love her!!!!!!!
Tumblr media
3. Woman (yes that is what she is referred to, they never day a name, an ocurring theme in the show for humans), I like her mostly because of her relations and interactions with the nowhere king, the general and their shared backstory. Also love the fact that she always hesitates when attacking the nowhere king but does not hesitate to kick the general of the cliff, and then still hesitates against elktaur at the end but still ends it while crying, it is a magnificent way to show what kind of person she is and her connection and feelings towards the entirety of nowhere king/general/elktaur. Someone help the traumatised lady please
Tumblr media
Oh theres also the chubby gay tigertaur with a beard, he was also cool
Anyway, 7/10 for the entire show, but with an absolutetly imaculate villain. Overall, do recommend, if only for the nowhere king

Heyyy!! Just gotta shout out how awesome the Piarles prequel is. It's just adorable watching them grow as friends and then as a couple. And those little callbacks to the original story? Very interesting. It’s truly amazing to see Charles’ confidence growing in each chapter. Seriously, it's some top-notch writing and I'm totally hooked!! ❤️👏🏻
HELLO??? I have genuinely no idea what I have done to deserve this but thank you so much!!!!! 🥰 I am so thrilled to hear that you are enjoying the prequel story too. There is so much in it that's a callback (or a call-forward?) to the first fic and having people pick up those little details just makes me feel so warm and fuzzy!
Honestly, dedicated readers and commenters like you make me want to keep writing stuff. The fact that you came here to tell me that you're enjoying it ON TOP OF all your wonderful comments is leaving me rather rambly and braindead.
Getting hits on my fics is lovely. Kudos are wonderful. Comments are fucking incredible. Repeat commenters make me want to profess my love from a rooftop (which usually comes in the form of writing little snippets that those repeat commenters prompt to me...*hint hint*)
I truly hope that you enjoy the rest of the story! Charles' confidence is definitely not a straight line to get where he is in Take Me With You and the rest of his story is fascinating. I'm so excited for everyone to see Piarles meet and form the rest of the pack, and it's definitely a struggle to limit myself to only 3 chapters a week.
Thank you for this wonderful ask and I hope you have a wonderful, magnificent, glorious, beautiful day! 💚
