Mirajane: People seem to think Freed and I are in a secret romantic relationship. Does anyone have a plan to make them believe we’re not?

Freed: *raises hand*

Mirajane: A plan that doesn’t include murder?

Freed: *hand still raised*

Mirajane, surprised: Yes?

Freed: Let’s torture them with-

Mirajane: NO

anyone wanna hear about the name?

❓

i'll never forget the fact that harold has kept the machine locked up for 5 seasons and disabled her from doing great things, which eventually led to the death of his friends... facts.

thinking about the missed potential of Belos and Collector being evil besties or like. besties in general 💔💔

Look I know the whole point of Belos is that he's a manipulative asshole who's too deep in with his delusional beliefs but. MAN i would have loved to see that, because there were a lot of routes you could go:

1- Belos warms up enough to The Collector to actually be friendly with eachother (either evilly or just friendly)

2- The found family trope but instead it's like a fucked up ver with this evil mf and his son whos like. not that evil but still morally grey

3- Belos could have turned out to be a more decent person so the previous two dynamics but healthier

there's more but YEAH im just rlly interested in their dynamic

.....okay, I'm not stoked about this. Why do i suddenly have a ton of new notes on the months-old post about the repost of raksura short stories that got the patreon nuked? Reblogs have been off for months.

And while I'm here, any insights on why new followers when i haven't done anything but whine about how creatively dead in the water I've been? These aren't the definitely-spam followers who get elided on the notifications, i got an email for each of these. Or the like on my old old post about the jones trial? Any insights on why all this?

None of these LOOK like spam blogs, and i was curious enough that i went and searched raksura and/or my name on here, reddit, and twitter to see if there was anything likely to have done this. But tbh I'm on the verge of deciding this is the latest shitty iteration of spam bots, now with an extra veneer of pseudoreality and reporting everyone involved for spam and blocking from sheer irritation

     Everything was a b l u r r { realization would hit soon enough, and it would hit him hard } and his head felt as though a dozen of drummers were performing in his head right now. A groan slipped past his lips, a first complaint, and slowly Freed would open his eyes blinking the first bit of sleep away.

     Memories hazy at best he just so managed to string some points together. Celebration. Lost bet. Drinks. Obviously that's where his headache stemmed from. At first it seemed as though his senses needed to be whipped into shape again but a metaphoric splash of ice cold water hit him as soon as he noticed that he was not in his room. Not in his bed. Suddenly, the pain could be faded out if only for a couple of moments and his gaze hastily scanned the room, quickly finding the person next to him. Gajeel. His friend, no big deal. Gajeel?!

     Eyes widened in a state of shock, feeling as though he was part of a cheesy comedy show as his hands went to lift the blanket just to make sure that he was in fact partly clothed at least and not in the nude and he was relieved when he found that to be the truth. A thousand thoughts chased through his mind as he sat there, frozen in posture. There was absolutely nothing to stress about. Right? Right??

FREEDOM

another sneak peak

i love how much of a cunt series 1 and some of 2 Jon is. Lensik’s statement on Hilltop Rd, at the end Jon’s like latent schizophrenia and head trauma! what a SHOCK! the one with peter lukas’ dead kid or nephew or whoever, he goes to leave so she can make her statement privately and says as much with THE shittiest little tone in the world. one of the spider ones, the first one w Annabelle i think, he straight up mocks the guy for CRYING when martin interviews him later. almost makes him getting burnt and deribbed and vertigoed and almost skinned and buried etc etc so on and so forth feel warranted

dash is talking about m(isogyny)cyt and treatment of female ccs tonight... ough i cannot go back there but mcyttwt was the most awful place in the universe on a daily basis because of this

This one came highly recommended, and I can't wait to read it!

If you were in a room with two others, we'll use Laxus and Freed for this example. What would you do?

Random Shit

"If the fuckin' door ain't locked I'm gonna leave and give 'em their fuckin' privacy. I may be an ASSHOLE but I don't force people to be annoyed by my presence. If yer lookin' for a pervert yer barkin' up the wrong fuckin' tree."

"On that same note, if the fuckin' door IS locked I'll find a way to get the fuck outta there cause I ain't sitckin' 'round for anythin'. Ya try lockin' me in a room with 'em and I may just have to maim ya more than a little bit."

Maim only, because murder is b a d. Though, if someone targeted anyone he considered a friend he might just 'accidentally' kill them.

From what he could tell Raiden wasn't exactly in the condition to form coherent sentences right now. However, he couldn't help but slide in a small comment whilst pouring himself a glass of wine.

     "Will you survive it?"

WHEN DID HE GET THERE —- ? The storm RAGING within his head must have caused him to FAIL in taking notice of Freed’s arrival. Once high standing ears now hang low & he SIGHS.

     "Of course. I would never leave your side in a moment such as this one, Mirajane." The tone of his voice remained gentle, and not only because exhaustion was tugging at him nor since the adrenaline caused by their previous fight was making way for more delicate emotions. Freed sighed softly at her words as he was cautiously washing off the blood she was referring to. The scent certainly stung in his nose. Some fights came with much more ferocity than others and some had an impact way beyond the end of it. He hoped that he would be able to offer some solace. That they could be each other's solace because he felt his nerves being more than strained as well.

Mira's words already managed to soothe his mind and his lips would crack into the faintest of smiles even if it was present for but a mere second. "You do not have to tell me. I know." He really did, she had clearly shown as much in the past and he was utterly grateful for it. There were things that couldn't be expressed with words, as much as he sometimes pretend for that not to be the truth, and it was likely good that way.

     When Mira opted to take turns and gently steal the cloth from his hands, he let her do so without any complaints. Her body was still shaking and he could imagine that she needed something to occupy herself with, to not just sit still. Freed was able to relate and only when Mira began to clean the blood off his skin with tenderness he took note of his slightly trembling hands.

     Cleaning blood off someone else's body was far from an unusual practice, albeit this moment felt far more private for some reason and it wasn't because of the lack of clothing on their upper body except for Mira's bra. Cerluean eyes that had previously been focused on an invisible spot behind her were now trained on her, silence coating them as she kept on cleaning the back of his neck.

     There wasn't much distance left between their faces and he became hyperaware of it once he focused on the soft sounds of her breathing and the feather-light breeze they left. Perhaps there weren't any words appropriate enough to tell just how much their connection meant for the both of them but perhaps, just perhaps, there would be a way to show just how much she meant to him. A matter of utmost importance that they had yet to address, and despite the awareness that this wasn't the best situation to talk about this… The words just fell from his lips in a hushed tone.

     "Mirajane, I need you to know that… Mira, I wish to be with you every step of the way. It's not just our mutual support that means more to me than I could possibly verbalize. It's you." All of you.
