SxF Chapter 95 Thoughts
The drought is over.
And HOLY MOLY
AAAAAA I know we're nearing the end-semester gala but I never thought we'd get it on THIS chapter AAAADHJDJSKDN
When I saw the chapter is 21-pages long, I made sure to savor it well sskskjs
"Guardians will not be attending the gala." DAMMIT. Oh wait, Twillight can just disguise himself as a volunteer. I forgot.
Lol this is really not good for Damian's poor little heart.
WOHOO Becky cute!!
Huh, looks like Henry and Martha had a history together. Maybe they used to be classmates in Eden? Or something else, maybe.
The party is different than I expected. I thought ALL students will mingle in one place. I thought we'd meet Demetrius here. Oh well.
Damn this is depressing. Reassignation class based on academic performances. It's really happening. Anya will be separated from Becky. Hopefully their classroom will not be that far off 🥲
Damn Damian. Looking fine there, like a true young chaebol.
Tumblr media
ANYA IS CUTE!! She's a princess!! 😭💕 I was surprised with her hair, I thought she'd keep the haircones. It's almost like as long as the little bundle of her hair is protected, any hairstyle is fine. Her dress though... It's darker than I expected; I thought she'd go with light color. But this is fine too. She's cute either way. (lowkey reminds me of a little witch, lol). It's also cute how she and Damian looks matching with black-and-white outfits, hehe. (Then again, this is b&w manga. Will their outfits have different color in the colored illlustration?)
Nicee Ewen, you do know when to give credits when it's due.
Nah Damian you're just making up shit now. You have excellent eyes, you know her dress is not cheap.
Of course Damian would fo anything for any imperial-scholar related. Cute.
Now this is interesting.
Tumblr media
Some people say it's a reference to Harry Potter, so I wonder if some of it will turn out to be true. Especially the last two: "the cursed underground maze in section 4" and "the sealed chamber in the tower of wisdom." Sounds like hella suspicious places for a school filled with top political figures in the country. What if those are the places Donovan entered often? Hmmm. *sus glance* Wonder if DamiAnya gang will tackle the 7 mysteries like in Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun and see something they shouldn't see like in Promised Neverland, lol.
Tumblr media
Anya, you got this! It's the name you learned in the school's interview! She already forgot, lol. But at least she got the "Ben" right!
Tumblr media
Wonder if any of these kids will become Anya's new classmate, lol. Endo really used his break time brainstorming new characters here.
OMG IM DED. Narcis Hubrisse. Brayzen. These fucking fitting names I swear 🤣🤣🤣
Yesss you go Becky. Set your standard high. Don't mingle yourself with these lowly boys.
YAAASS. A GENTLEMAN ASKING ANYA OUT. YOU GO BOY. Even if it's a facade at least it's better than these Hubrisse and Brayzen boys.
OH.MY.GOD. FFFUUUUCKKK AJDNSKDBKDJDJSKHDUDJXNJDKDHDJJSJKSJSJSYEEEESSSSSS
Tumblr media
HE'S HEREE HE'S FUCKING HERE. His hairstyle is ugly but HE'S HERE. I was wondering if we're gonna meet him soon. I was righttt, he iss gonna be a recurring character. I mean look at the name reveal from chapter 93. Look at that damn edgy hair. Hopefully he will be Anya's new classmate. But I never thought he'd put an interest in her as a runner-up in the classical language test. What is his background? How is he so good with the classical languange to even reach 90-ish points even though it's rarely taught? Does he have a connection with Anya with his gift in classical language and weird hairstyle? Why does he have such unsettling bow tie? I need to knooww
And he even pull off such a strong reaction from Damian too, skskjsksk. 2nd ML candidate? Lmao
Good to know Arnold's family is B tier. Not bad.
Twillightt you got soft. Letting Anya and Damian do whatever they want? What happen to the mission?
Lowkey sad to see Anya trying hard because Twillight didn't trust she would do a good job in plan B.
Oh mah gahh these preciouss kiddss 😭True homiess 😭😭💕💕
Tumblr media
At least this will ensure Anya to get her place fair and square.
I wonder if Twillight realize Anya is approaching Damian for the sake of world peace she mentioned. Or he's simply motivated with Anya's motivation.
Tumblr media
But at this rate, the dance will be over the moment Damian got his partner, lmaoo
Great comeback chapter! 🔥🔥🔥
*Edit: Screw what I said that Arnold might be the 2nd ML. I don't trust his hairstyle, his droopy eyes, his bow tie, and his polite manners. So far we've seen only adorable children but he could be evil for all we know. Better be cautious than sorry.*

꒦‧₊ ꒷ HEADCANNONS: Going on a Road Trip with Craig, Tweek, Jimmy, Tolkien, and Clyde (Separately) ✧.*
✧.* tags: college au, road trips, ✧.* Characters: craig tucker, tweek tweek, jimmy valmer, clyde donovan, tolkien black a/n: the stan's gang version got so much love that I thought I'd do the headcannons with the others too!
masterlist
Tumblr media
Craig
Thinks everyone is a terrible driver except for him
(he can’t parallel park for shit though)
You guys make up stories about the people you pass
“Oh he’s going through a messy divorce”
“Yeah but it’s his fault for sleeping with Miss America”
“Well if he didn’t, she was going to release the tax documents revealing he was an illegal immigrant from australia! And he can’t return to the outback!” 
He’s a pretty good road trip buddy if you don’t mind silence. 
He kind of zones out when driving so it’s not an awkward silence, just a comfortable silence
Very picky about podcasts and music though, he gets aux because he’s the one driving
PODCASTS ABOUT SPACE!! 
doesn't have Bluetooth in his car so he uses one of those connectors that plug into the cigarette lighters LMAOOO 
"bro it's 2023 why are you living in 2006" 
"because it has great mileage. shut up or walk" 
Tumblr media
Jimmy
This will go one of two ways depending on how much you enjoy stand up comedy
Because you’ve bought yourself a ticket to the 6 hour Jimmy-athon
Every billboard is a joke
Every car you pass is a joke
Every gas station you walk into is at least 5 jokes
You’re actually probably driving to a comedian convention
you listen to the material of the panelists to figure out where he'd want to go
he makes you laugh so much you need to pull over
he probably takes a nap halfway through 
looks like a little cat curled up in the passenger seat
honestly such a good drive
whenever you get bored all you need to do is make a comment about a weird road sign and you've got entertainment for at least 30 minutes
if you don't like his comedy…
just don't. 
you will not survive.
(and you're probably a terrible person)
Tumblr media
Tweek
There’s no way he doesn’t get car sick.
Like just absolutely demolished
You think he’s dying for a little bit because he’s just leaning against the window whispering prayers to whatever god will listen
Then you buy some medicine from a gas station and i swear it’s like you’ve opened a new conspiracy for him
“But if these have existed for so long, why hasn’t anyone told me about them?! There’s got to be something wrong with them! DID YOU JUST GIVE ME POISON!”
“Do you still feel like blowing chunks all over my windshield?” 
“Well no, not right now.”
“Then I really doubt it can be poison dude”
Don’t let him drive. 
Just don’t. 
He gets freaked out enough when you drive down a busy street. More than 3 lanes and he’s absolutely screaming
“WHY ARE THEY DRIVING SO FAST?! THE SPEED LIMIT IS 55”
“That’s not how the midwest works, tweek. We’re going 87 right now”
“87 THATS 32 MORE THAN WE’RE SUPPOSED TO- OH GOD WE’RE GOING TO GET INTO A CRASH AND FLIP THE CAR AND RUN INTO ANOTHER CAR AND THEN THAT CAR WILL EXPLODE AND NO ONE WILL FIND OUR BODIES-”
he's surprisingly good at mental math when it comes to calculating the possibility of his death
Tumblr media
Clyde
He’d much rather fly than drive
He gets bored so fast like what are you supposed to do in a car? Sit there and… sit there?
Does not want to be in the car for more than 30 minutes
“Are we there yet?”
“We’ve been driving for an hour, Clyde”
“Okay and how much longer do we have?”
“5 hours.”
“WHAT”
Definitely had to use the bathroom every hour because he CHUGS monsters to stay awake then immediately crashes and sleeps for half of the ride
He sets up his phone so a movie can play but it’s really just him watching the movie because you have to keep driving
“You know, if we fly back then you can watch this with me”
“Well then my car would be stranded in the Chicago.”
“Can’t you just get someone to drive it back?”
“I will leave you at the next gas station and make you hitchhike home.”
“ITS A GENUINE QUESTION”
Tumblr media
Tolkien
Oh he absolutely loves to drive
But who wouldn’t when you’ve got a fucking TESLA
(he totally has a tesla, no way he doesn’t have a tesla)
Will NOT allow chips in the car
If you do, you’re vacuuming the seats at the next gas station
“You’re not bringing those in here”
“But you can’t go on a road trip without corn nuts” 
“You can and you will.”
“Can we at least get coffee then :((“
“Well duh we’re getting coffee”
Will buy you a little drink and give you a blanket
He makes YOU a passenger princess and it’s absolutely amazing
Another podcast listener, but he likes to space them out with music so you’re not both sitting there silently the whole road trip
You’re going on the trip to hang out! You’ve got to have some random chit chat time too!
“There is no way Kuroko’s Basketball is better than Slam Dunk.”
“That’s just because you’re a snob about sports anime.”
“No that’s just because i'm right about sports anime and you spend too much time talking with Wendy”

Anime only watchers and people who aren't caught up with the Manga, BEWARE... Cuz I'm about to discuss Spy X Family Mission 88... You have been warned...! 👌
[SPOILERS AHEAD FROM THIS POINT ON]
OMG...!! 😍 THIS WAS SUCH AN ADORABLE CHAPTER FOR THE MANGA TO RETURN WITH...!!! 💗😆💗
We had to wait a month and a half for this chapter, and I think that it DELIVERED!! 😁 So let's talk about it, shall we...? 😊
This chapter begins with a plot line that's been brewing since Mission 61...
Tumblr media
THAT'S RIGHT!! 😆 DAMIAN IS FINALLY GONNA GIVE ANYA THE CAKES THAT HE PROMISED HER!! 😁
And it only took 27 chapters for Damian to accomplish this...!! 😌 I honestly just love how Endo does stuff like this, where he brings something back up a bunch of chapters later (even if it's the smallest detail imaginable...!! 😊)
But moving on, we get something that I did not expect to see...:
Tumblr media
ANYA DRAWN IN THE FREAKING SHOJO ART STYLE!! I JUST-- I JUST CAN'T...!! 🤣🤣🤣
This is one of the best and funniest things I've ever seen in Spy X Family, and I honestly can't wait until THIS gets animated...!! 😆
After spotting his dream girl from afar, Damian tries to give her the cakes that he promised, but...
Tumblr media
There is just too many people around for him to give Anya the goods...! And with Anya overhearing his thoughts about giving her the cakes (but not fully understanding why Damian wants to give them to her in secret), she devises a plan to meet with Damian in the courtyard...!
And after receiving a seemingly bloody message from Anya, Damian agrees to head to the courtyard with her...
Tumblr media
But as you can see, Becky, Emile and Ewen decided to follow them...!! 😅 So Damian and Anya decide to BOOK IT, while the others follow suit!!! 😆
Tumblr media
After getting chased around for awhile, Damian determines that he's done with this shit and ultimately decides to just throw away the cakes (which Anya hears), and then...:
Tumblr media
ANYA, ARE TRYING TO KILL DAMIAN...!? 🤣 HIS LITTLE HEART CAN'T TAKE IT...!! 🤭
Honestly though, this whole page is just so adorable (even if Anya is only doing this for the cakes...!! 💗😄💗)
Anyway, because they were so wrapped up this cake situation, Damian and Anya didn't realize that a wild Henderson has appeared to scold them for missing the the bell...!
Tumblr media
Now the two of them have to stay after school, but it isn't all bad...:
Tumblr media
After finishing writing their apologies, THE G.O.A.T., Mr. Henderson, offers to have some tea and cakes with Damian and Anya...!! 😁
Then, Mr. Henderson asks Damian about the cakes, and get this little flashback...:
Tumblr media
HMMMMMMM..... 🤔
This flashback just makes me continue to be suspicious of Melinda... 😤
But, anyway... To end things off, Damian questions why Anya wanted to meet with him in the first place, and well...:
Tumblr media
THESE TWO I SWEAR!!👏🤣👏🤣👏🤣👏🤣
And that was Mission 88, a really fun chapter to get us back into the swing of things...!! 😆
I'm pretty sure a lot of us were expecting something big to happen this chapter (like how I was hoping for Yor's full backstory because season 2 of the anime started), but it didn't, and I'm okay with that...! I'm just glad that we finally got another chapter of this amazing series to talk about...!! 😊 And though that month and a half long break was killing me (I mean, I had Undead Unluck to read in meantime), I just hope that Endo got some well deserved rest!! 💗🤗💗
Also, that flashback with Melinda is just giving me red flags all over the place...!! 😵 I don't know if Donovan is the one telling her to do these things or if she's doing this to get to Anya herself, but everything that Melinda has done thus far has made me feel constantly uneasy... I just hope that she didn't do anything to those cakes that will harm Anya or her powers in any way...!! 😡
Well, that's pretty much all that I wanted say about this chapter, and like always, I can't wait for the next one!! 😆 So, until the next Mission... Take care, be safe out there and be kind to one another...!! LATER!! 👋😄

Power Armor Punch Part Sixty Six
Gardio: I thought I heard some movement on the roof. *tinkering with the pin from his tie. Making it into a tiny knife he can use in self defense*
Lucille: Either that or she ran off again. This is a very common thing with her.
Ma: (Heavy sigh as she leans on the wall) “Yeah, there really was nothing anyone could do when she decided to run off back in the day. She was too fast for her friends and any adult who could spare the time to chase her down, even if they had a car. So we just… let her do her thing and hoped she’d return before dark.��� (Small scoff) “Sounds irresponsible of us, I know…”
Teshteal: *shakes his head sadly*
Joyce: (Studies her boyfriends face, returning that somber look as she clutches both of his hands)
Teshteal: Don't worry... The moment I sense she wants to kill me, I'll run as fast as I can. *shrugs with a sheepish but almost forced grin* Not that it'll help much- at least it's something.
Jasmine: (Knows that her biological rapid healing abilities get stronger when she’s in direct sunlight, kinda like she’s a human solar panel. And she heard a doctor in the vault bitching one time about another expensive procedure that was given to her that requires her to recharge under the sun. The doctor was going on how it wasn’t that necessary as she already has other healing factors, but he was ignored and she was pumped with more sedatives and whatnot)
Nick: *checked out into a book he has on file since she's calm. He's keeping an eye on her, though. It can't be all Jas all the time in his head or he'll go mad. Even parents need a break from their kids*
Jasmine: (Curls up against Nick like a kitten who just found a warm and cozy spot under the sun with her back to the light, partly closing her eyes as she does the little kneading motion she always does when she’s content. Her position is inefficient for healing as her most severe wounds are on her front side, but she wants to snuggle right now)
Gardio: *frowns* They didn't at least scold her for running off?
Lucille: *rolls her eyes* I don't think she has enough respect for others to actually LISTEN. I'm almost twice her age and she thinks it's okay to tell me off, swearing included.
Ma: (To Gardio) “Believe me, we tried to get it through her spunky little head that it was dangerous stunt to pull off, but she was convinced that she was fine on her own so it bounced right off her. And as for disciplinary measures, well there wasn’t much they could do when she was already doing all the chores and taking care of her siblings like a mini parent. What more could they add to that?” (To Lucille) “The swearing is new, I’ve never heard her do that before. But telling off other adults she definitely did, especially when she deemed something unfair.”
Lucille: I would say she's rebellious but honestly there comes a time when it's outright disrespect.
Gardio: I'd have to agree... *frowning still at the fact she was left to take care of her siblings despite literally being 9* I shouldn't judge because of what she's been through but so far she seems pretty rude when she's not hiding or running off. *clucks and shakes his head in disappointment*
Joyce: (Still looks so worried for him, a million “what if” running through her head)
Teshteal: *keeps smiling. It looks more and more forced by the second. He wishes she'd stop worrying about him. He's nothing after all...*
Donovan: (Yawns and stretches out on his bed, rubbing both of his eyes out of habit despite having an eyepatch. He blinks, frowning when he remembers the previous nights disturbing events, how he had to try and talk down Rosie…)
Ma: (Nods her head sadly) “Yes, that’s what’s worrying me. She’s not acting like herself at all. Little Rosalinda used to be somewhat reasonable and respectful, even when she had a good reason to rebel or haughtily toss her hair back.” (Rubs her hands together) “Once her mother passed, she got more defiant and distant with us. Instead of at least hearing us adults out, she’d just walk away even if we were just trying to help her process the tragic loss. And God forbid we try to separate her from her siblings for even an hour to give her a rest when they didn’t want to, she preferred to distance herself on her own terms.”
Joyce: (Heavy sigh as she looks to the bed, quickly rushing over to scoop up Gilbert to rescue him)
Gilbert: (Makes several squealing noises in complaint because he was smothered by the two puppies)
Joyce: (Walks back to Teshteal as she pets her little ferret, debating with herself if she should press further or just let it go)
Teshteal: *still forcing that smile even though the voices are rising up again, reminding him of how pointless he is compared to Jasmine. The only reason he was kept alive in the vault was for their sick pleasure. No one should have to worry about someone as pathetic as him... but he won't say it to her. She's already worrying about him.*
Gardio: *furrows his brow with concern at how she changed after her mother's death* That's where it started... *sighs and pinches his nose*
Ma: “Yes... It was terribly unfortunate. Poor kids already had to navigate without their father, they lost him before Rosie was even three....” (Sighs to herself again) "You know, I think it was their somber origin story that gave them extra points to get away with things they shouldn't have. They were good kids with kind hearts in a bad and unfair situation..."
Donovan: (Rises from his bed, gathering his clothes so he can freshen up for the day and go see Jas)
Joyce: (Blinks sadly, putting away all pressing questions despite her fears) “...Should we head down for breakfast now?”
Teshteal: *nods* Yes. Breakfast would be nice. *heads to the door. Feels terrible for making her worry. Feels like he's troubled her too much*
Gardio: That's unfortunately commonplace now a days... *solemn nod*
Lucille: The settlements see a lot of orphans come through... kids and adults a like. You'd think it would be easier before the war to get help for that sort of thing but even then... *sarcastic but pitying scoff* Good luck if you were poor or looked a specific way.
Ma: (Points to her ghoul complexion) “Some things never change with people I suppose.” (Small laugh when several memories come to mind) “Rosie never had a tolerance to that, she’d get right into people’s faces if they dared try to bully her friends or family for their looks or their lack of wealth. And she was the one who passed as something more than just another street urchin.”
Joyce: (Decides to set Gilbert down as she follows him out)
Donovan: (Was just exiting the bathroom when he sees his little sister come out of her room and he smiles warmly at her) “Mornin’ JoJo!” (Nods at Teshteal) “Mornin’ to ya too!”
Joyce: (Small smile at her brother as she walks over to wrap him in a hug) “Morning…”
Donovan: (Sways her side to side as he pats her back) “Did you sleep well?”
Joyce: (Nods into his shoulder) “Mhm, yes.”
Teshteal: *starts to walk down to the kitchen without her to dish them up. He should at least make himself useful*
Jasmine: (Nuzzles under her Dads neck as she breathes evenly, her loose curls partly hiding her face)
Lucille: *quietly nods. Still doesn't like she got away with things so easily to the point she has next to no respect or consideration for others.*
Gardio: *to Ma, reminding her of why she's here* Shouldn't you be looking for Jasmine...?
Ma: (Smiles and nods) “Yes, I should be. But do any of you two need anything before I go?”
Joyce: (Hugs her brother a little tighter, opening her mouth to say something but then she quickly shuts it)
Donovan: (Looks down at her) “Hm? What’s wrong?”
Joyce: (Softly, not wanting to worry him further) “Nothing…”
Teshteal: *warms the food up in the oven... while his thoughts beat him over the head that he's only a burden on Joyce*
Lucille: I'm fine.
Gardio: Nothing at all, thank you. *shakes his head*
Ma: (Nods) “Alright then, I’ll be off.” (Walks back down the stairs, giving her two children a quick nod before she makes her way outside. On the side of the house is a newly installed set of stairs that she climbs to reach the platform on the roof where she finds Nick and Jas)
Jasmine: (Hears Ma coming and she whines in fear, hiding away in Nicks shirt while tightening her grip)
Donovan: (Pats the bottom of her chin) “Are you sure…?”
Joyce: (Quickly nods, but there is still a question lingering in her eyes)
Teshteal: *quietly to himself* I have to eat... it'll help... *just wants the voices to stop*
Nick: *looks up and sees it's Ma then back down to Jas* It's okay, kiddo. It's only Mama Evie... *gently brushes away her hair from her face with his good hand. He looks up at the motherly ghoul* Come to check up on us?
Jasmine: (Relaxes her tight grip when her dad reassures her, peeking up from Nick to blink at Ma with wide eyes)
Ma: (Nods, smiling warmly at the teen girl and her father) “Yes, I realized you were both missing and Detective Chapel directed me to the roof as he heard movement.” (Gestures around the little platform) “You two are catching some sun? It’s a beautiful day out here. One of our first since winter came to a close.”
Donovan: (Knows something is up so he keeps staring at his little sister worriedly)
Joyce: (Smiles up at him) “…Have you eaten yet? We can go eat breakfast together!”
Donovan: (Worried blink but he nods and takes her hand, starting down the stairs with her in tow)
Teshteal: *dawns a new forced smile when he hears footsteps coming down the stairs. He pulls the food out of the oven for Joyce and him* I've already prepared your portion, Joyce! *sets hers on the table. It's a pretty ballanced portion size. His is most of the food he couldn't eat from yesterday plus just a little more to make it a complete breakfast* Hope you don't mind!
Nick: Yeah figured I could use a tan. This face is a bit pale from being cooped to all day. *wry chuckle at is own ironic self jab* As for Jas the sun on her skin seems to help her heal better.
Ma: (Chuckles at his little joke as she approaches) “Shall I bring you some sunscreen then? Don’t want you to get burned.”
Jasmine: (Nuzzles her head back under Nicks chin with a small hum, closing her eyes as a gentle breeze blows by)
Ma: (Folds her hands) “I wanted to originally ask if it would be a good idea to give Rosie some bone broth after her milk? Or maybe she could try eating some toast or even some apple sauce?”
Jasmine: (Makes a noise of protest at the mention of food as she tightens her grip back on her Dad)
Joyce: (Comes bolting over to the table with a wide smile) “I don’t mind!” (Sits down in her spot)
Gilbert: (Circling under Joyce’s chair, trying to jump up so he can be with her)
Donovan: (Follows close behind to brew himself some coffee. He wants to wait until Joyce starts eating before he goes and checks on Jas)
Teshteal: *decides to sit across from her to give her some space. He quickly goes to eat before she can say anything about this.
Nick: We can start with some broth... I don't know if she's ready for solid food just yet. *rubs her back gently to reassure her*
Ma: “That’s perfectly fine. I’ll go prepare that now if there isn’t anything else you need.”
Jasmine: (Puts her thumb in her mouth to help soothe herself without scratching. She still doesn’t like the idea of drinking anything either)
Donovan: (Serves Joyce a glass of milk to drink along with her breakfast, still so concerned about her)
Joyce: (Doesn't want to worry him as he has already had a hell of a night dealing with Jasmine up in the lighthouse. She picks up her fork and looks up at Teshteal from across the table, wanting to ask why he didn’t sit besides her but she keeps quiet about that)
Teshteal: *thinks he's intruded on her enough. Doesn't want her to feel like he's smothering her*
Nick: *just shakes his head in response*
Ma: (Gives a small wave and heads off back down to the kitchen, entering through the side door)
Joyce: (Perks up when Ma walks in, smiling brightly as she sets down her fork) “Hello Mama! Good morning!”
Ma: (Walks over to give her a gentle kiss on the head) “Morning love. Did you sleep well?”
Joyce: (As she picks up Gilbert and sets him in her lap) “Yup!”
Ma: (Turns to Donny) “And you?”
Donovan: (Gives a thumbs up) “Slept fine.”
Ma: (Turns to Teshteal next) “How about you, dear?”
Jasmine: (Nuzzles against her Dad, planning on alerting him if her feelings get too strong. If Nick looks closely to the oldest wounds on her sides, he can probably see that they are starting to fade with the sunlight)
Nick: *is none the less surprised by this but doesn't say anything to disturb her. Instead he rubs small circles on her back to soothe the teen*
Jasmine: (Grips onto his shirt collar to keep her hands busy, focusing on breathing along with the circles he’s rubbing on her back. It’ll be awhile before her newest and worst wounds start healing)
Teshteal: *forces a smile again and looks up at her. It's hard to tell he's faking it* I slept wonderfully! Thank you! *goes back to eating*
Ma: (Bright smile) “That’s good to hear!”
Donovan: (Takes his coffee mug and starts waking to the stairs)
Ma: (Opens the freezer to get some premade bone broth out that she had froze) “Rosalinda and her father are up on the roof, Donny.”
Donovan: “Oh? Alright then.” (Starts heading for the door)
Ma: (Tilts her head, worried that Jas might get upset if she sees Donny and remembers the previous night) “You should eat first before you go up to see her…”
Donovan: (Shakes his head, pausing to turn to his mother) “No, I’ll be alright-…”
Ma: (Gives him a look) “Donovan…”
Teshteal: *keeps his head low as he eats. Doesn't want to bring attention to himself. Telling himself it's none of his business and that he's just going to get in the way. He always does*
Donovan: (Blinks, scratching his head with a heavy sigh when he realizes what she means) “Perhaps you are right…”
Ma: (Continues prepping the broth) “I believe I am. Just at least until she eats something, okay?”
Donovan: (Silent nod as he takes a seat by his sister, sipping his coffee) “I suppose I do have to clear the area of any Mirelurks that may have nested after the storm… Maybe check the bog for berries.”
Joyce: (Perks up from her breakfast at the mention of the bog) “Oh! Can I come?!”
Ma: (Doesn’t want Donny to go out alone, especially after the previous night) “I may tag along as well if you’re gonna go out.”
Donovan: (Shakes his head at his family’s offer) “No, you both don’t have to. I don’t know what’ll be lurking out there so it’s best you stay here where it’s safe.”
Teshteal: *softly* I can help with the mirelurks... *bitterly at himself* It's what I'm made for after all.
Ma: (Missed that last remark as she heads off to gather a diary and pencil for Jasmine while the broth boils) “You’re our guests here, so don’t worry too much about that and just focus on your healing.”
Donovan: (Sets down his coffee mug, remembering what Gardio had pointed out earlier when they were heading out after the trappers) “…Is it even safe for you to leave?” (Takes in a deep breath) “Or for Rosie? We ought to have a talk about that as your group’s situation is still unclear to us.”
Joyce: (Looks between her boyfriend and brother worriedly, the maple syrup bottle held midair so it’s slowly dribbling onto her plate)
Ma: (Goes upstairs to collect some items to bring to Nick and Jas on the roof, gathering everything in a little basket before she walks back outside and up the stairs)
Jasmine: (Was starting to relax again with the warmth of the sun and Nicks soothing rubs when she hears the approaching footsteps, making her shriek with alarm and cling to her Dad like a baby koala and try to hide under the collar of his shirt)
Ma: (Frowns at the girls reaction, assuming she’s still jumpy from her nightmares) “She’s still nervy from her night terrors, poor sweet child…” (Hold up the pretty pink diary after she sets down the bottle with formula on the little table) “I brought this for her to use as a way of coping. Journaling her nightmares can help her process them in a… “healthier manner”. And perhaps aid you in understanding your daughters situation better so you can better guide her.”
Nick: *smiles at the journal then at Ma* That's actually a wonderful idea. I'm surprised I hadn't thought of it sooner. *to Jas* What do you think, kiddo? Want to give journaling another go? *not reaching for the bottle yet. She needs to calm down first*
Teshteal: *matter of factly but only because he can get through the details quicker like that* Jasmine is the one in danger most outside, especially in the state she's in. Plus, her programming has a stronger hold on her than mine. They had a lot more time to break her down. Don't worry. If we're outside, I'll be able to smell the chems miles before they get to us.
Donovan: (A little confused) “You can do what now? Smell them from far away?” (Has way more questions but he figures that he shouldn’t overload Teshteal as the poor guy had a breakdown yesterday)
Joyce: (Starts eating her food again, not minding that she once again drenched it in syrup)
Gilbert: (Sticking up his wiggly little nose in the air, trying to smell the food on his Joyce’s plate)
Jasmine: (Raises her head to peep up at the two adults, still sucking on her thumb. She looks at the pretty diary thats so much more appealing than her bloodied book, her big magical doe eyes sparking at the color and the fact that there’s prints of roses on it. She glances up at Ma, then at her Dad, nodding her head at him)
Ma: (Smiles brightly down at the teen, taking out a small pencil case with colored pens inside in case Jazzy wants to use those as well. She that and the diary besides the two on the chair) “I hope this and the beautiful day out can help her settle down enough to get some proper sleep.” (Looks up at Nick) “And with her wonderful and caring father watching over her.”
Teshteal: *taps his nose* I have enhanced olfactory senses. It's pretty easy for me to sniff out people. It's how I found Jasmine earlier. Everyone's got a distinct scent profile. Kind of like a fingerprint... *wonders if this is weirding them out* It's kind of a disgusting ability... I'd understand if you think I'm some sort of freak.
Donovan: (Shakes his head) “I’ve been around long enough to have seen more freakish things, this ain't one of them.”
Joyce: (Looks at her boyfriend with a small smile) “I think its pretty neat! But I suppose it would be a bother with strong scents.” (Wrinkles her nose)
Nick: *smiles at the compliment, taking the case and the book from the table* Don't forget to rest, yourself. You're welcome to join us out here if you want. *to Jas* Do you want to go ahead and write something now, doll?
Jasmine: (Nods and sits up as she takes the stationary, scooting off Nicks lap so she’s sitting besides him on the double lounger with her head leaning on his shoulder. She props up her knees to use as a table and starts to write about her previous nightmares starting off with describing the shadows looming over her, the coding helping her see and focus despite her splitting headache and pain)
Ma: (Shakes her head with a wave of her hand) “Don’t you start fretting ‘bout me too, you have enough as it is. I have some things to take care of but I might come back up later as this day is just too lovely to ignore.” (Puts Nicks coat and a thin robe she brought for Jas on the table just in case they get cold)
Nick: *looks at her pointedly* A good guest ought to be mindful of their host. *not looking at what Jas writes right now in case she wants to keep it private*
Teshteal: *scrunches his nose, too* Yeah. For instance the barn yesterday. This also means I have a strong sense of taste, too. *shakes his head, remembering the original subject* That's besides the point. I can get away a lot quicker than they can spot me. Besides I'm sure Joyce can fight, too. *smiles at his girlfriend* I'll do my best to protect her.
Joyce: (Looks to her older brother with puppy eyes, tugging on his arm) “Pleeeeeeaasse???”
Donovan: (Rubs the temple of his brow) “Oh good lord, now there’s two girls who can do puppy eyes at me…”
Joyce: “I wanna pick some berries!”
Donovan: “And I want to keep you safe from Mirelurks and whatever else might’ve made it’s way here after the storm. We haven’t had time to practice your shooting in awhile. Plus, the smell of rotting corpses would draw in more creatures. I wouldn’t be surprise if there was a Fog Crawler or two.”
Joyce: (Eyes widen slightly)
Donovan: (Heavy sigh as he starts to tap his fingers on the table) “That and the Trappers in the quarry...” (Starts mumbling to himself) “God... that's gonna take awhile, there's so much I gotta fix.”
Joyce: (Gets a concerned look on her face for her workoholic brother)
Ma: (Opens her mouth to say something, then looks at Jas and quickly closes it. She silently gestures up to the lighthouse that still has blood and glass covering the floor, something she had to get rid of in case they get more guests)
Jasmine: (Trying to document even the littlest details, doing her best to express the jumbled up feelings that she felt in the moment. The helpless desperation and fear as the large shadows towered over her small frame, the twisting in her heart when they all kept shouting the same degrading insults. Her eyes stay glued onto the diary and her hand never stops moving, the programming taking ahold and putting her into complete focus mode)
Ma: “Donny is also thinking of going out to clear some potential Mirelurks then head to the tarberry bog, I may go with him as there can possibly be more than just that out there.” (Turns and looks out over her newly established farm on this unfamiliar Island, sighing sadly to herself as she folds her hands)
Nick: If that's the case, might be wise to take either Teshteal or Gardio with you. *frowns* I'd suggest Lucille but she's currently out of commission until her leg heals.
Ma: (Stares out longingly at her farm for a long moment, sighing heavily as she shakes her head and turns back to Nick) “Mhm, maybe we will….” (Gets another thought at the mention of Lucille, pursing her lips together)
Jasmine: (Still writing like mad, her hand shaking with how tight she’s gripping the pencil)
Nick: Something on your mind? *looks up curiously at her*
Ma: “Hm?” (Realizes that she’s delayed her response and gives a half smile) “Oh nothing at all- it’s just this old gal getting held up by the past.”
Teshteal: Don't know what a fog crawler is but if it's anything like a Mirelurk Queen, I can take it out easily. *interlaces his fingers and stretches them by pushing them away from his face while grinning with carefree confidence*
Donovan: “Ah…. It’s almost like a giant shrimp- praying mantis type mutated monster. They’re waaaaaay faster than they look and can be a pain to take down.” (Shudders just thinking about it)
Joyce: (Puts her head in her hands, looking at her brother in deep thought) “Still… can we at least try? If there’s anything dangerous we can come right back home.”
Donovan: (Rubs his chin) “I suppose so… but we have to be extra cautious and take the longer rout to avoid going best the water.”
Teshteal: *intrigued by the Fog Crawler and wants to go even more, now. More to himself* I wonder if they taste like shrimp, too...
Donovan: (Sips his coffee) “We’ll go later, maybe right before lunch or after.”
Joyce: (Beams with delight, but then sags a little) “Erm…. Before we go or do anything else- can we talk about something? Just me and you?” (Shyly tucks some hair behind her ear)
Donovan: (Remembers what happened at breakfast yesterday and nods) “Sure, Jo-Jo… You wanna go up to my room to talk right now?”
Joyce: (Quickly nods, turning to her boyfriend) “We’ll just be a minute, okay?”
Teshteal: Okay. *sheepishly waves*
Joyce: (Stands from the table with her brother and Gilbert in her arms, giving Teshteal a quick kiss on the head before she follows Donny up the stairs to his room)
Teshteal: *blinks and blushes at the kiss. As soon as they're gone he gets to work cleaning up his food and clearing the table to keep his thoughts clear*
Nick: *shakes his head* I know the past can be a bit of a slog, believe me, but that expression of yours shifted just as I mentioned Lucille. *raises an eyebrow*
Ma: (Brightens up) “Ah- I was just thinking about asking Lucille if she’d like me to draw her a bath so she can wash up.” (Thinks that the poor young woman needs a good soak after the previous nights events)
Jasmine: (Starts to tremble when she gets around to writing about the Guard Leader, writing faster in order to keep up with her racing mind. Tears form on her eyes as she remembers every word he spat at her, still believing it all. She goes through on how he just appeared in front of her and how he mocked her shivering frame on the floor, stopping when she describes how big he is compared to her after he called her babydoll and yanked her to the floor)
Nick: *rubs Jas's shoulders slightly when he senses she's paused- probably because of something terrible. He only turns his attention to her briefly. With a reassuring tone* You don't have to write it if you don't want to, Rosie... Take a moment to breathe. *to Ma* Good idea- She probably could use a good long soak. She doesn't get to do that often, I'm sure. *nods, as if confirming it for himself*
Ma: (Waves her hand) “I’ll go do that right now.” (Turns and heads back down the stairs and into the house, going straight up to the attic to ask Lucille if having a warm bath sounds like lovely idea)
Jasmine: (Doesn’t stop writing because if she does she won’t be able to start again and she needs to document these things. Hell, she needs to update that damned bloodied book as it’s part of her programming)
Nick: *only nods after her then leans his head back and shuts his eyes, keeping an ear out for any other pauses of Jasmine's pen*
Jasmine: (Lips quiver as she writes, describing being tossed to the floor followed the the growing fear because she knows what he was going to do with her next. Then she recounts that she called out for Nick to save her but was asked by the Guard Leader why he would ever help her. She writes on how she shakily said it was because she was Nicks daughter, but the Guard Leader smacked her with the other reasons on why Nick is bothering to care about her- which made her angry enough to try and hit him)
Lucille: *doing some programming practice on her pipboy*
Gardio: *reading a book he borrowed from the guest room. Because of last night, he feels the need to stay by his little girl's side right now*
Ma: (Comes up the stairs to the attic and knocks on the wall) “Yoo-hoo?” (Smiles warmly at the two) “Lucille? I wanted to ask if you’d like me to run a bath downstairs for you?”
Lucille: *confused* I'm not that dirty, am I...?
Gardio: *looks over at her* Remember, you can take baths for other reasons, Lucille.
Lucille: *raises an eyebrow*
Ma: (Approaches with a gentle smile, stopping at the side of the bed) “It’s good for your mental health as much as your physical health to stay clean, love. And soaking in a nice warm bath with epsom salt can do wonders with relaxing your muscles to help relieve pent up tension.” (Tenderly strokes Lucille’s hair, still so frightfully worried about her as if the young woman was her own daughter)
Lucille: *freezes at the tender touch, glancing up at the older woman. Slightly tears up at the kindness she's being shown. Quietly as she looks back down at her pipboy* Okay.…
Ma: (Smiles even brighter down at Lucille, smoothing out her hair as she leans down to kiss her forehead) “You deserve to pamper yourself every once in awhile. I’ll go run the water for you and gather some soothing supplies. We have some crutches for you to use to keep you off your ankle or your father can help you down the stairs.” (Nods at Gardio) “Also my dear, you think you’ll need assistance in the bathroom? I can wash your hair for you, give ya a little salon scalp treatment and wash.” (Not bringing up the fact that leaving Lucille alone wouldn’t be a good idea considering last night)

Location: Outside a bar Tag: @nathaniel-donovan
Tumblr media
Alara squinted her eyes at the pair of hands that appeared in her view after her tumble onto the concrete. Arguably, not her fault, a slight accidental shove had knocked her drunk balance off and down she crashed. "We should get you home," he says, pulling her up off the ground, all too fast for her liking. "There's no we, who even are you? You are not taking me home, no." Snorting out a laugh, she lets go of him and takes a wobbly step backwards. "Just a nice guy trying to help out a drunk girl. Swear." He holds his hands up in defence, and for what it's worth, maybe it really was that black and white. "Ok, well I'm fine, move along now..." Alara makes her attempt to shoo him, frowning when she feels his hands on her elbows, steadying her non-existent balance. "I can call you a cab? Really, I'm just trying to help." He says, much to the brunette's annoyance at this point as she tries to shove him out of her space.
"You're a nice guy, huh?" Blury eyes focused on him, narrowing as he smirks at her, and something about it made her insides cringe. "Sure. But you know what I think? I think that nice guys don't need to say they're nice, and they certainly don't need to be told no more than once, so... You can leave me to my fate, or, I'm going to either scream or push my nails into your eye sockets, maybe both. I'm drunk, not stupid, Mr. Dahmer." Wrinkling her nose, she stands as still and steady as her body allows her, brown eyes drifting down to the hands on her elbows that had migrated into something of a grip on her arms. For what, at this point? Had she not made herself clear? "Nice guy my ass." She huffs, giving his chest a solid shove, hoping to put at least a couple feet between their bodies.

Cassius Harlow x Stevie Sun
Part 2
It's no mistake that Cas ended up in Beachwood, and he knows it and now he wants answers. Meanwhile, Stevie and her friends want answers from Cas...
Written in the present tense
Part 1
Tagging: @choicesficwriterscreations, @jerzwriter
Warnings: Swearing, talk of blood
Word Count: 1105
Notes:  I don’t own these characters, they are the property of Pixelberry Studios.
Harlow created on cooltext.com
This is set a couple years after the events of both books.
Tumblr media
Arriving at a cave deep in the woods, Cas throws the creation in before speeding back to his home. Once there, he storms in and grabs his phone, dialling and holding it to his ear. After a few rings, a voice comes over.
Astoria - Cassius.
Cas - Beachwood wasn't chosen randomly, was it?
Astoria - So you know about the creations, then.
Cas - Cut the crap, Astoria! What do you want from me?
Astoria - To exterminate the remaining pests. Do so, and you may be allowed to return to Crimson Beech.
The line goes dead and Cas slams the phone down, filled only with rage.
Cas - Assholes!
Cas sighs in annoyance.
Tumblr media
Meeting at the library, Stevie, Blake, Donovan, and Tyler start looking through folklore books in the hopes of trying to get answers about what they saw the previous night. Blake flicks through the pages and thinks back to Gabriela's murder, and the dream they had.
Blake - (Could Gabbie's ghost have visited me?)
Tyler - Blake!
The sound of Tyler's voice snaps them back to reality.
Blake - Huh?
Tyler - You okay?
Blake - Yeah. Just thinking.
Donovan - No luck.
Donovan drops the book down on the table.
Stevie - Nothing here either. Why don't we try and find Cas? We might be able to get some answers.
Tyler - Given what he did to that thing, I'm not inclined to be within at least two meters of him.
Donovan - I'm with Tyler on that.
Stevie - But he might be our only chance at answers.
Blake - Stevie's right. This Cas guy is the only one with answers, ironically the one who gave us the questions. Best thing we can do is just keep an eye out for him. Without knowing his full name--
Stevie - Harlow.
Donovan - Huh?
Stevie - His name is Cas Harlow.
Blake - Okay, that gives me a place to start. I'll go down to the town hall and check records for new arrivals.
Tumblr media
That night, Cas begins his hunt for the remnant creations in the forests, looking for any sign of the creatures. He skids to a stop in the forests, sniffing. He walks over and finds blood on a tree trunk. Wiping his fingers along it, he finds that it is slightly sticky.
Cas - You were here recently. Question is how many?
Hearing something, he raises his hands into fists, but sees only a Doe running away. Sighing, he lowers his hands.
Cas - This is going to be easier said than done.
Stuffing his hands in his pockets, Cas begins walking through the forest, heading in the direction of his place.
Once back, he finds four people, including Stevie, waiting at the door.
Cas - Can I help you?
Blake - Yeah, you can give us answers.
Cas - Fuck off.
He pushes past them and Stevie places her hand on his arm.
Stevie - Please. We just want to know what we saw last night.
Cas sighs, opening the door and standing to the side.
Cas - Come on then.
They all enter and he closes the door behind them. Blake crosses their arms while everyone looks around.
Blake - So what are you?
Cas closes his eyes for a moment, and when he opens them, his eyes are silver and fangs in place of incisors. Tyler and Donovan stumble back a bit.
Cas - I'm a Vampire.
Stevie - So can you turn into a bat?
Tyler - That's your first question?!
Cas - No. I'm stronger and faster than a human. And as long as I remain inside Ley Lines, I can walk in the sun.
Blake - And that thing?
Cas - It's called a creation. Two years ago there was a Vampire Creator in Crimson Beech who tried to take the power of the Lines. And he used his power to turn Vampires into those things like you saw last night. We thought they were all gone, but it looks like there are a few still around. Which is why I'm here. Albeit against my will.
He chucks his jacket on the table and leans against it.
Cas - Now, I'd like to know how you found me.
Blake - I'm a Private Investigator.
Cas - That so?
Donovan - Why now?
Cas - What?
Donovan - You said you took these things on two years ago. Why you hunting them now?
Cas takes a deep breath.
Cas - I don't know why the Elders want them dealt with now. And I don't know where they could be hiding. I chucked the one I killed in a cave and I spent the majority of the night checking the forests. But I'll be out your hair once I'm done.
Silence fills the room and Tyler scratches the back of his head.
Tyler - Maybe... we could help you?
Donovan - What?!
Cas - No.
Stevie - Why not?
Cas - It's easier for me to do this without you lot getting in my way.
Blake - Maybe. But no one knows Beachwood like us. Can you walk into the town hall and access records?
Cas - I can speed in.
Blake - And look through without getting caught?
Cas glares at Blake.
Stevie - Face it, Harlow. You're stuck with us.
Cas raises an eyebrow at Stevie.
Cas - You're not gonna take no for an answer, are you?
The four of them talk at the same time.
Stevie - Nope.
Blake - No.
Donovan - Looks like it.
Tyler - Absolutely not.
Cas runs a hand down his face, groaning in slight frustration.
Cas - Fine. I'll let you help. But it's on my terms.
Blake - Name them.
Cas - First, you keep something silver on you at all times. We're not that keen on it.
He pulls up his sleeve, showing his brands from the elders. Stevie looks in shock.
Stevie - How?
Cas - I'm not the most popular in Crimson Beech. Second term, you learn Vampire lore. I sounded so much like Golden Boy then.
Blake - Fine.
Cas - And one more thing. If we find them, you'll all need a boost.
Tyler - Boost?
Cas - Vampire blood.
Donovan - You're not gonna... bite us, are you?
Cas - No. But a drop of Vampire blood will give you the heightened senses, strength, and speed for a small amount of time.
Blake - Oh!
Tyler - Well that's...
Stevie - Awesome!
Cas looks over at Stevie, and he can't help but smile ever so slightly.

Spy x Family AU Fic Idea
I finally managed to catch up with cour two of Spy x Family's season one. While watching episode 14, I specifically wondered how things might've ended up had Anya and Bond been unable to save Loid from Keith Kepler's bomb. Story idea? Maybe... It would probably be hard to understate how devastated Anya would be from the loss of Loid in her life. After all, she really thought she could turn things around for Papa, but came up short when trying to do so. Any goodwill she felt from getting her first Stella Star probably evaporates overnight. The mission, after all, is now meaningless - or at least appears to be. I do wonder if she'd actively avoid watching Spy Wars from that point on (since it's a potential traumatic trigger) or if she'd sink deeper into her obsession given that it provides her a safe, child-friendly version of spycraft to live vicariously through. I don't think she'd blame Bond; she knows what it feels like to be abandoned so she'd probably still ask Yor if they can adopt him.
For Yor… she blamed herself for Loid going off to the bathroom, even in canon, due to her cooking and she might very well swear it off entirely if she perceived it as having resulted in his accidental death. I suspect she'd still come to the realization that she loved (loves?) him in hindsight but who knows when that would be. At this point, I don't think there's a doubt she would go all in on being Anya's mom since she'd probably feel obligated to do so, besides the fact she also clearly wants to be hers anyway. Does Anya tell Yor about her telepathy and about Operation Strix? I think she very well might. I can't imagine a scenario where she lets Yor wallow in self-hatred, even if she's terrified that her mom might blame her for not saying something earlier and return her back to the orphanage. The war that was speculated to erupt does, I think, and that makes them both needing to be safe paramount. WISE is almost certainly operating in a reduced capacity after it just lost its best agent, not to mention that the border is no longer as porous as it used to be. What happens between Nightfall, Yor, and Anya could be quite interesting but I"m not really sure how that'd play out (though maybe this could lead to a Fiona/Yor ship since the main obstacle for both is now, uh, not around). No doubt Fiona, if she encountered Yor, would hate her here even more than she does in canon. Maybe she'd even end up taking the Twilight moniker to honor him as well as not let it slip he was KIA? There are certain things that frustratingly unclear. For example: is Ostania able to engage in a war successfully or did Kepler jump starting it mean that it's doing so with more limited resources? The National Unity Party would seize on it and I'm assuming Donovan Desmond ends up as prime minister in the event of some snap election but who knows how it would pan out for them. The SSS might be able to suppress internal dissent but that might not matter depending on how things go militarily. All of that said, I do still think Anya would try to proceed with Operation Strix in some form or fashion. She wanted it to succeed before so Loid would keep her around after it was finished if she proved herself useful but it'd be even more pressing now to do it in his memory. I'd also assume that Yor would probably try to involve herself as well, with perhaps Franky and Fiona doing so too somewhere along the way. I had a bit of fun with a plot bunny on an older post with the idea of Yor posing as a secretary for Desmond to secretly act as a bodyguard and that could very well be applicable here - only the intent being to assassinate him instead rather than imagining the Garden as a secret tool of his to eliminate opposition (or who knows, maybe they still are, but Yor ends up breaking with them over Loid's death and their potential unwillingness to help her). Not gonna be a good time for poor Damian in this scenario. Yuri's a bit of a cipher. He might want to do everything in his power to keep his sister safe, but would that include betraying his position and country to do so here? Once he finds out she's doing it for Loid, of all people, he might not be so keen but she is his primary obsession in life. Regardless, definitely leaves the possibility of fun cat-and-mouse games between the two Briar siblings as they try to tiptoe around their secret identities with one another. Then again, without Loid in Yor's life, it's possible he might soften to Anya's presence a bit; he'd be a weird as hell paternal replacement, but she might cling to him because he's a familiarity in a now very unfamiliar world.
Melinda could also totally factor in, but I dunno how.

Donolinc/Cringe!AU pt. 2
Okay if you're confused please refer to my main trans headcanon post here and the introduction to this au here.
Once again I'll give the same CW as the last post: if you don't wanna see any references to trans male pregnancy please blacklist the terms "mpreg" and "tmpreg", similar content to whats in Mafia 3 normally like violence, bigotry of the 1960's, war, etc.
General disclaimer: I'm not that good at drawing babies/young children. Pls forgive me TwT
(Some of these pictures are older than others)
Danielle Clay was born on Sept 1st 1969. Everyone calls her "Dani" for short. Her biological parents are Lincoln Clay and John Donovan, she has Lincoln's last name because it felt right.
Tumblr media
She shows some signs of having ADHD in her childhood and her parent's quirks definitely rubbed off on her, like poking around things she shouldn't but also going head first into "scary" things.
Tumblr media
Lincoln is so happy to be a dad since he lost his own family, and can be very over protective at times but that doesn't really show up until she's in her pre-teens and onward. Like I said in the last post, John was just happy he could keep this one, it takes a lot of adjusting to this new life, he still does what he normally does but cause he's at Sammy's all the time, he spends the most time with Dani before she eventually goes to school.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He's definitely more in charge with dressing her and had to learn how to do her hair, which was awkward at first with the whole situation. He may not be an ideal parent but he definitely loves and cares for her a lot. Just is pretty loose with swear words in front of her.
Tumblr media
Since she does get into things a lot, she has to be kept away from loose papers and any potentially dangerous things laying around. She has ruined the vibe of a meeting at Sammy's where Lincoln invited his underbosses in the bar. Donovan, still keeping out of their line of sight, has quickly snatched Dani away from the bar area and took her back to the living space, but thats how the underbosses saw Lincoln's kid for the first time. Father James comes around more often just to check up on the kid and sometimes comes at Lincoln's request. He tries to keep his mouth shut about his opinions on Donovan's parenting, but Lincoln knows exactly what he's thinking.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Because John is still, well, John, he does complain a lot and projects his own distaste of things onto Dani, like hating the weather, going into the swamps, hating hippies, etc. Dani handles the weather pretty well like Lincoln, and as for hippies, Lincoln's taken her to LaVeau's compound where she interacted with M.J and his friends, so she ends up liking being around people like that, she came home with a flower crown and Lincoln had to answer a lot of questions. When it comes to swamps, once Dani's a teenager she eventually goes out into the Bayou Fantom a lot with her friends. Lincoln also took her to gator feedings before and she loves them.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
She does eventually meet Marshall and Jackie when she's young. Marshall gives John a hard time a lot, occasionally saying some off color things about John as a "joke", and once Dani can talk, she'll even say "MY DAD IS NOT A MOM >:O" which surprised Marshall but he stops those kind of jokes for now. As for Jackie, despite her and John not being that close, since she does know his history and keeps tabs on Jesse, she's just happy to see things seemed to have worked out.
Tumblr media
During all this, in between taking care of Dani, John was still working on his side project and was zeroing in on someone that was actually nearby. He was still fixated on the JFK conspiracy, and from old papers he found linking the Marcano's to local politicians, he started setting up a meeting to go to Baton Rouge, since many folks where still talking about Lincoln's crime spree and how he seemed to be untouched by the law for now. It was big news, and John was pulling some strings to go to a hearing on "Lincoln Clay's behalf". August 25th, 1971, Donovan went to a senate hearing about Lincoln's crime spree and meeting face to face with Senator Blake. Everything was recorded live. Everything. Danielle was nearly 2 years old at this time. The aftermath lead to John leaving the state and hiding for a few months away from the authorities and eventually they lost his scent after a few months
Of course, a serious crime such as assassinating a state senator will mean he's never NOT safe, but after a few months skipping around in different states, changing out cars and his appearance, he did eventually finally get back to New Bordeaux, after leaving Lincoln and Dani on their own for a few months, he missed her 2nd birthday and Lincoln swore he was about to punch him as soon as he got back, but he couldn't. He just got really emotional and made fun of John for having a more unkempt appearance.
In a way, as the new crime lord of New Bordeaux, and making sure the right people stay paid, Lincoln is basically untouchable, sure he has enemies, but law enforcement is in his pocket, he's got people to take care of things, etc. Sammy's becomes somewhat of a safe haven. Donovan can chill out there and not really worry about getting caught for his Live TV stunt, and he content with just leaving it there to make the people he's targeting paranoid. Not sure how he feels about being stuck in New Bordeaux though, but it's a good setup for now. Being around Lincoln means guaranteed immunity, also of course, happy to be near his kid again. Because Lincoln got emotional, Dani needed to be babysat for awhile (probably by Nicki cause she's trusted), and he really wanted to see if somehow he can use John being trans as some kind of loophole so they can legally tie the knot, he's sure he can talk to and bribe the right people but John isn't sure how he feels about it just yet, he just knows Lincoln's very clingy right now and lets him get his feelings out, ofc he missed him too.
Once again, yes I'm planning on adding more. Also I just wanna say, while I love this ship, the only thing that REALLY sucks about it is the age gap. They're both adults that seem to be on equal ground, but despite not revealing John's age, he has to be at most 35, which makes him about 12 years older than Lincoln. Which is eeehhhh....ehhhh.... really clinging on the fact they're both grown and seem to look at each other as equals. So whatever.

oooooooooooh if you're writing chapter 3 of flashpoint, may I (humbly) request a small sneek peek? not sure if you do that but I'm literally refreshing every other day to see if you have anything new up i'm low-key obsessed
hi love <3
of course i have a sneak peek for you (not much tbh, but it's what I can share atm):
(warnings: swearing, smoking)
"What the fuck are you two doing here?" you ask, your voice sharp, "You coming to intimidate me at work, now?"
"Who said anything about intimidate?" Tess asks, and you scoff, shaking your head as your purse your lips angrily.
"You think I haven't noticed this fucking tank following me around recently?" you ask, jerking your head towards Joel, before your eyes follow and meet his, "You ain't subtle, by the way,"
Technically, what you were saying wasn't wrong. Joel had been taking slight detours on his way to and from jobs in the QZ the last two weeks, sometimes keeping an eye out to see if he could spot you coming in and out of your apartment. He hadn't meant it in a creepy way, but it had been a force stronger than himself. Besides, he wanted to know if the antibiotics he'd given you had been working. Joel thought he'd been discreet; apparently, you were more observant than he gave you credit for.
Tess' eyebrows shoot up in surprise as she gives Joel a questioning look, which he pointedly ignores, ignoring your dig and instead giving you an infuriating raise of his eyebrows.
"You work in a Starbucks?" Joel asks, and he sounds almost amused as you give him a look.
"Can't all be drug dealers, Joel," you tell him with a dry smile, "Some of us have to make a living,"
You watch to your great satisfaction as Joel's jaw tightens, the smug expression he'd been wearing a second ago melting into his usual angry one.
"Besides, it's hiding in plain sight," you inform him before he can rebuff you, "Nobody in the apocalypse can be fucked enough to care about their barista,"
"Smart," Tess notes, and you let out another irritated breath.
"Look, what the hell do you two want?" you ask, your voice harsh, "I don't have all day and something tells me you're not going to take 'fuck off' for answer today, hm?"
"Donovan sent us," Joel tells you, and he watches as your jaw clenches, eyes flashing with annoyance as you take another drag.
"'Course he fucking did," you mutter under your breath as you blow out the smoke.
"We need something," Tess tells you, "And Donovan mentioned you've helped him out a couple of times,"
"I have," you say with a nod, eyes flitting between Tess and Joel.
"So, smuggling, and stealing. . . that's your side hustle?" Joel says after a second of silence, and again his expression and his tone have that same amused quality to them as before, almost like he's mocking you.
You give him a steely glare as you let out another irritated breath, shaking your head.
"Lower your goddamn voice," you tell him, eyes flashing in warning, "Slinging those kinds of words around gets people killed,"
"It gets thieves killed, sweetheart," Joel corrects, and your eyes bore into his at the use of that goddamn nickname, "I've been doing just fine,"
You shake your head, scoffing as you run your tongue over your top teeth. "Enough with that already. . . you've made your point, Miller, I'm a miserable thief that doesn't deserve to share your air. . . now what do you want?"
"I never said it like that," he says, despite himself, his expression dropping slightly, before he covers it up.
"It doesn't matter," you huff, shaking your head as you cross your arms, "I can hear it all over your tone. . . for someone as stoic as yourself, you sure as shit pack a punch with your shitty attitude,"
Joel is taken aback by your words; sure, he knows you're right, on some level, but he's not had backchat like this for years. . . even Tess, who remained one of the only people able to put him in his place, had just put up with it the past years.
"I, uh–" he falters for a split second, before he clears his throat, face becoming stony again, "We came to ask you for something,"
"Yeah, you've said that. . . why would I help you?" you ask, and Joel raises a single eyebrow.
"How about because you still owe me 40 cards?" he tells you, and you let out a humourless laugh.
"38," you correct as you lean against the brick wall, "That coffee wasn't free for nothing,"
Joel shakes his head with a roll of his eyes. "38 then. . . last I checked, that's still something,"
You glare at him for a second, before you press your lips together in annoyance, letting out a breath.
"Fine. What do you need?"
"Fertilizer," Tess states, speaking for the first time in almost a minute, and both you and Joel tear your gazes from each other to look at her, which she answers with a dry, sarcastic smirk, "You two finished making eyes at each other and remembered I'm here, too?"

The story of Luisa and her new date was amazing (and hilarious!)! But now I’m curious, how would the fam (or just Julieta, Augustine and Abuela) react to Luisa introducing Donovan to them?
Let's absolutely get to meet the boy! lets go!
"Donnie, no."
"Just once, PLEASE, it'll be quick!"
Luisa had been with Donovan for three months now. He wasn't a bad guy, but he had SUCH a temper. Any little thing would set him off. From people who chewed too loud, from people who threw trash on the ground, or in this case, a couple of guys pointing at Luisa and talking amongst themselves. It was always people from outside the Encanto, she noticed.
"You can't just punch everyone who has something to say."
"You're right. I just punch the ones in the vicinity. They're LAUGHING at you. Aren't you tired of being nice? Don't you just wanna go apeshit?"
"No. No I don't. Come on, you said you'd enjoy this with me."
She lightly pushed the tray of cake his way. It was a cute date idea, taking her out for a drink and sweets and just talk.
"I know but I just...okay I saw what he mouthed, imma fucking kill him."
Luisa had to grab one of his hands in her own, and gesture at the table.
"Please. Stay with me."
He looked at her, at their hands, then at the floor. He mumbled as he sat back down, his face absolutely exploding in a grumpy blush.
"I...I like holding your hand."
"I know. It's one of the things that keeps you from getting mad. It's cute."
He growled at her, clearly trying to be imposing.
"I'm not fucking cute. You keep saying that shit, and I swear to god-"
"You'll pout in the corner?"
He tried to say something, but settled for gritting his teeth. She pushed the piece of cake a bit his way, and despite his sour face, he tried a piece.
"Okay, I'm calm. Now you said you wanted to ask me something, right?"
"Mhmm. I was wondering if maybe you'd want to meet my parents. Isabela and Mirabel have been talking you up a LOT. But I don't want to MAKE you go, I know it's kinda soon."
"I mean, are we talking a quick thing with coffee, or a whole ass dinner?"
Luisa shrugged, accepting the fork so she could try a piece herself. He always let her have a majority of anything they were eating. It was sweet.
"I'd like for you to meet everyone, honestly. It might be a lot, but hey after we could check out my room! I just got this new weight set, you might like it-"
"W-wait. You...want me to go to your room?"
She didn't understand why his face was red again. It was just her room, everyone's been in there before.
"Yeah! I mean it's not fancy like my mom's, but it's pretty. Unless you don't want to-"
She was back peddling, thinking this was a mistake, when he reached over to hold her hands. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, before speaking.
"No. I wanna do this with you. I think it's fucking stupid, but you want it, so it's not stupid. Let's do it."
"You mean it?"
"Yes I mean it. You know I just like making you happy-I know that look, don't."
"I'm gonna."
"Shut up. Shut up right now."
She leaned down to kiss his cheek, and yet again, the poor thing was burning up like a kettle. He was cute, always getting heated over every little thing.
"Thought you like liked my kisses?"
"I do. I'm just. It's stupid. And we're in public."
"Oh...are you embarrassed of me?"
"For the love of-"
He had to stand up to do this, but be cupped her cheeks in his hand, and kissed her. It wasn't anything too extraordinary, but it was absolutely precious, how much he wanted to prove how much she meant to him. When he pulled away, he had to put his cold drink on his forehead, try to cool himself down. He looked...good when he did that honestly, letting the water run down his face and...oh boy. She needed jesus for these kind of thoughts.
"Donnie?"
"What?"
"I really like you."
"...i like you too. A LOT."
------------------------
"I still don't like it."
"Agustín."
"I can't help it! The idea of a boy touching LUISA? Bothers me!"
Luisa gave her dad a look as she helped set up the table.
"Mira and Isa can date, why can't I?"
"Mija you CAN date, you're an adult. It's just. Ay, you're so DELICATE! Your sisters could kill a man, you wouldn't, you're too sweet! What if he tries something you don't like?"
Ever since Luisa was young, her dad was always a bit more protective over her, compared to the other children in the family.
"Dad, he's not like that. Watch, you'll love him."
The doorbell rang, and Luisa, excited, ran to the front door. And there he was, holding a bunch of boxes. So much so, he had to tilt his head to the side a bit for her to see him.
"Uh. Hey. I didn't know WHAT to get your family. So I just. Got stuff and-"
Luisa leaned in to kiss his forehead, cutting him off.
"You being here is enough."
"Ugh you and your gushy kushy shit- just tell me where I can put this overpriced bullcrap."
"Let me help you carry-"
Donovan gave her a glare, huffing as he headed for the kitchen.
"Shut it. You got muscles, but I'm the man here, man carries the shit. You touch a box with those pretty fucking hands, I WILL be pissed."
He set the boxes down, finally, allowing Casita to do the rest.
"Oh, Donnie, this is my mom and dad!"
Luisa was so excited to have them meet, she couldn't stand it. Julieta gave a little wave as she held onto a not so sure looking Agustín.
"So nice to finally meet the boy Luisa keeps talking about! Donovan, right?"
"That's right. But most people call me Donnie, or just Don. Unless you're my dad, then it's just 'shithead'. Nice to uh, meet you both."
Julieta accepted his hand shake, motioning towards her husband.
"I'm Julieta, this is Agustín. You'll have to forgive him, he's nervous."
Agustín was about to speak when Camilo cried out from the dining room table.
"Luisa! We gonna see Mr.Farmer's tan or WHAT?!"
Right. Luisa actually called him that once. Listen, tan lines are underrated, she stood behind that. Donovan scoffed, trying not to seem like he was blushing.
"And that's?"
"Camilo. He's my cousin."
"I wanna punch him."
"We all do sometimes. Come on, let's get you some food!"
Luisa gestured for him to take a seat at the table, before looking at her parents.
"First impressions?"
"He...has a lot of messy hair? Is he trying to wear it like that?"
"And he's always scowling-is he angry?"
"He's. Always angry. But like, it's cute-"
She heard a scream from the table, and she immediately went to investigate it. Mirabel was the cause, and she was looking at a package in her hands.
"Luisa- look at what Don just gave me!"
In her hands was a thick pile of what she assumed was wool. Donovan shrugged from the table, trying not to feel pride in having a successful gift.
"I stole a bit after we sheered Lawrence the other day. I thought your sister would like it."
Luisa couldn't help but smile. So he has spiky blonde hair, so he always looked kinda mad. He was a sweetheart, all in. Everyone eventually came to the table, and Luisa ended up at her usual spot at the end of the table, with him at her side. Abuela started her questions, as she always did with newcomers to the household.
"So, Donovan. Tell us a bit about yourself."
"Uh..."
Donovan struggled with his thoughts for a moment, digging his fork into the stuffed pork in front of him.
"I'm Twenty. I uh, work on a farm with my mom and dad. We sell wool, milk, eggs, and we have petting zoo's here and there."
"A duck bit me there once."
Mirabel interjected. Donovan snorted.
"Oh that was Richard. He sucks. I would've stopped him but it was kinda funny."
"Dios- is THAT what bit you? I couldn't figure it out for the longest time."
Donovan, a bit more motivated by the talk of farm life, sat up a bit.
"Oh duck bites suck. But you should see what Elliot, our llama, did to me last week."
Donovan lifted up his shirt, making the table wince upon seeing the hoofmarks on his side. Luisa was amazed she noticed it though, given the fact that she could see how well the farm life have treated that body. Camilo, ever curious, leaned in a bit to get a closer look.
"Dude, can I touch them?"
"I would be insulted if SOMEONE didn't."
Camilo let his hand go over his frame, and Luisa swore he was looking right at her as he did so.
"Luisa, you should ABSOLUTELY cop a feel."
Donovan NOW seemed embarrassed of himself, pushing Camilo's hand away and putting his shirt back down.
"Uh...sorry. But uh yeah, that's what I do."
Agustín, definitely interested in this rather odd fellow, decided to have a turn.
"Is farming all you do?"
"Oh no, I like to box in my freetime. Lets off steam."
Félix definitely looked interested in this, finishing his bite to quickly get a word in.
"I used to box back in high-school! I was pretty good, not that I'm bragging."
Pepa chuckled as she held onto Félix's arm, recalling that memory fondly.
"Oh I remember those days. You looked so good in those shorts. You remember once, you got distracted by me, that guy sent you to the floor?"
"Hey, not my fault you looked so cute that day. If YOU were in there though, you'd have his ass, my fiesty sol~"
They shared a bit of a kiss, and Luisa noticed Donovan was looking at them rather fondly.
"...aw."
Camilo nudged Don's side, a huge smirk on his face.
"Aw, is someone the romantic type?"
"Shut up."
"You and my prima do that couple shit? Lil smoochy smoo?"
"I will fucking deck you."
"Do you guys have cute petnames and shit?"
"I am about to throw hands with a child-"
Luisa held onto his shoulder, keeping him from getting out of his seat.
"Donnie. Breathe. Remember the exercises we did."
"...okay. Breathing. Got it. I'm good."
Isa chuckled as she sipped on her wine.
"I thought you were just angry because of what people said about Luisa. No, your ass is just perpetually pissed."
Agustín lifted his head up from the plate.
"Who said something about Luisa?"
"Oh it's how they met-these guys were being just awful to Luisa. So he punched him. Then kicked him out of the line."
"I'd do that shit again too, imagining people saying all that shit to MY teddy bear-"
He stopped as soon as he said it, regretting his own words the second Camilo said something.
"TEDDY BEAR. Oh my fucking god-"
"SHUT UP. THAT WAS AN ACCIDENT."
Bruno raised a brow from his own glass of wine, judgemental as shit.
"That came out too easily for it to have been an accident. You actually call her that, don't you?"
"I will square up old man."
Donovan's face was beet red, and despite the fact that it was cute, she still leaned over to hold his hand under the table.
"It's okay. I like that name. And I know you like yours~"
"Oh my god, don't please."
"I call him snuggles."
Donovan banged his fist against the table in humiliation, steam coming out of his ears.
"Question-what's the quickest way to the roof? I'd like to jump off of it."
Bruno used his arepa to gesture upstairs.
"Up the stairs, to the left, climb up the vine, should only take you a minute tops."
"BRUNO!"
Pepa smacked his arm, and Bruno gave a 'what the fuck' look.
"I'm being helpful!"
Agustín gave him another nudge too, before looking at Donovan.
"It's nice to see you make Luisa happy. That's something you intend to keep doing, yes?"
"Hey. I know EXACTLY what you're getting at. And let me fuckin' tell you something old man,"
For a very scary moment, she swore Donovan was about to get up and try something, just from how bad his glare was right now, when he seemed to settle back down almost immediately.
"If I ever hurt Luisa- full permission to kick my ass. You can kick my ass, her sisters and her uncles can kick my ass, I'll kick my OWN ass, even! Luisa is. Way too special to let some stupid guy hurt her. Or girl. Whatever. If I didn't think I made her happy, I wouldn't be here. So, enough pussy footing around, let's be up front. Imma love the SHIT out of her. And I need to stop talking because this is. A lot."
He settled in his seat after that, honestly a bit overwhelmed with himself for popping off as he did. At first, no one knew what to say from his outburst, when Antonio piped up.
"Camilo's girlfriend has bunnies. Do you have bunnies?"
"No, but I WANT bunnies-Camilo do you have pictures?"
"I might have one. Hundred."
"Gimme."
------------------
He fucked up. He stood there, waiting for Luisa to walk him home (he just. Got too nervous at the idea of going up to her room), while she was wrapping it up with her parents. He threatened three members of her family, he kept raising his voice, and he just. Made a goddamn scene. He straightened up upon her coming out and shutting the front door.
"You ready to-"
"Lulu I am SORRY. I must've REALLY embarrassed you. I get if your family doesn't want me around."
Luisa snorted at him, and if it wasn't so cute, he'd be pissed as hell.
"No, only one embarrassed is you. My parents loved you back there!"
"...are you serious?"
"Yeah! Mom thought you were adorable, dad really thinks you meant what you said, and most importantly, Abuela likes the fact that you're a hard working, honest guy. Stuff about you I already knew."
"I...oh."
Oh my god. They liked him. Her family liked him! HOW? His own dad didn't like him! Luisa held out her hand to him, smiling.
"You wanna hold hands, or are you gonna erupt on me?"
He said nothing as he reached for her hand, and they made the walk back to his home. He rubbed the back of his head as they eventually neared his home.
"Thanks for uh, not telling them about THAT nickname."
"What? You mean Schmoopy?"
"Yeah. That one. I...kinda like it better when it's just between us. It's dumb and it's stupid and it's...special to me."
They eventually made it to his door, and she leaned down to kiss his forehead.
"You're special to me, Don. I appreciate you coming to meet my family. Even though you looked ready steam back there-"
"You haven't begun to see how hot I can get, princess."
He had no idea where that came from. Just that it was HER turn to have a cherry red face. He should feel bad for flustering her, but he couldn't. Not even when he went on his toes, and gave her a kiss. A proper one. One that when he pulled away, made those pretty eyelashes flutter and...shit.
"I'll uhm. See you tomorrow. I'm going inside. Night."
He went past his door, screamed into his hand, and punched the wall hard enough to make a hole in it.
"God. Dammit. She's. So. Fucking. Pretty."

Anime only watchers, beware... Cuz I'm about to discuss Spy X Family Mission 64... You have been warned...! 👌
[SPOILERS AHEAD FROM THIS POINT ON]
This chapter was probably the shortest chapter (not counting the Short Missions, of course) of the entire manga... And, of course...
I thought it was great...!! 😁 So let's get into it, shall we...? 😎👍
Today's chapter followed our favorite headmaster, Henry Henderson, and our favorite little gremlin, Anya Forger...!!
Tumblr media
And boy I tell ya, they both had some really hilarious facial expressions in this chapter!!
These two were my favorites: 😂
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Henderson did his best to help Anya that he even took her to the hall of imperial scholars!
Tumblr media
And as they walk past previous imperial scholars I see HIM...:
DONOVAN...
Tumblr media
...FREAKING...
Tumblr media
...DESMOND! 😲
And then my theorist brain started going crazy because it looks like he doesn't have his scars on the sides of his head...!! I mean, the picture is pretty blurry, so can't really make it out... But, this has been something I've wondering for quite some time now... Why is Donovan Desmond the way he is...?! I definitely think that he's either been experimented on or he's a puppet for someone else...!! I don't know for sure, but there's just something really off about this guy...! AND I JUST WANT TO KNOW MORE, ENDO!!! 😩
THIS 👇 IS LITERALLY ME RIGHT NOW...:
Tumblr media
Going back to the chapter, I think that Anya looks so adorable right here!! 😊:
Tumblr media
I believe that Anya can become an imperial scholar one day, especially since one of those people had SIX TONITRUS BOLTS!!! (I don't think Twilight can survive a third bolt at this point...)
And speaking of Twilight... Looks like the break that Sylvia gave him is over and my boy is back to 2 hours of sleep...! 😌 (Also, I would've loved to see what Yor had to do to kill that behemoth of a man...!! 😆)
Tumblr media
And when Anya notice that her parents were having a rough day, she said that she'll study and skip watching Spy Wars for today...! Which made Twilight think THIS:
Tumblr media
THIS MAN IS GONNA KILLOVER AT THIS POINT...! I SWEAR...! 😌
And that was Mission 64! It was a really fun chapter!! 😄 I just LOVE seeing all these characters teaming up with each other in different scenarios! IT'S GREAT!! 😆 I want more odd team ups in the future!!! (I'd love to see Loid and Yuri team up once!! That'll be crazy!! 😆) That's pretty all I had to say!! I'll see you all in the next mission!! Bye!! 👋😁
(Also, I don't know when... But, I'm going to rank all 12 episodes of the anime...! So, yeah... Later! ✌😎)

okay so i like m3. love it even. the story, the characters, the setting. but obviously it suffers massively from the repetitive uninspired gameplay replacing what could've been a story-rich experience. i've made a few posts before about how i wish it had been and like m3 i like repeating myself so. here's more
the game starts out like any other mafia game. lincoln spends maybe five chapter's worth of time with sammy and ellis before they die. then he recruits cassandra, vito, burke, by helping them kill certain people & establish home territory. there's the sit down, and then the main story splits into 3 separate storylines you can play anytime and in any order. still free roam, so you can explore the map and do whatever, and the missions would appear as icons, like in gta for example. the gameplay is completely different, there's no missions that require hours running around repeating the same 3 tasks. instead you go on missions with the bosses or their seconds (nicki, emmanuel, alma). all of the 3 routes have a set story, enemy rackets, and enemy lieutenants, etc. that each of your 3 bosses wants to take over: for business or personal reasons. missions will be as diverse as they were in mde and m2. after completing a mission, a stronghold will appear on the map (the racket warehouses). but instead of all that prep work you usually have to do, you can just go in and take these over in one go. taking the strongholds isn't required, but doing so bolsters your income and changes ally attitudes towards you: from distrusting but co-operative to appreciative and even loyal. after taking them, lincoln can also make decisions for the better or worse of the city. keep running things this way for a quick payout, or work hard and improve things, invest, for a better city in the long-run.
burke is in a bad way, and about a third of the way into his storyline, he's hospitalised and nicki has to step up. vito dies, passing the mafia franchise baton onto lincoln, just as tommy's death secured vito as the new protagonist. i think it would be a fitting death for him to go out on his own terms after all the shit he's been through. go out taking someone down, finally making a change for the better, sticking it to the mob. i think he would sacrifice himself during the final mission in his storyline, the fight against his designated enemy capo, to ensure lincoln & alma can escape.
sorry, but there's no john donovan. a change of gameplay would make him pretty useless. and imo the initial dossiers he produces for lincoln are just so redundant. the game establishes connections between lincoln and the haitians, burke & vito, before john even arrives. and honestly i don't think there's anything donovan can tell us that we couldn't learn from our local allies. instead, he's replaced with a solider. the only other guy lincoln shipped out with who survived. they say goodbye to each other just before ellis picks lincoln up. drifting in and out of consciousness, lincoln asks father james to find him. his last brother. lincoln swears up and down that they're equals but the two naturally fall into a kind of military hierarchy. lincoln orders him around and he's more than willing to help. perhaps he's also been struggling to return to civilian life, and despite being traumatised by war, he welcomes the structure & purpose lincoln gives him. this man becomes lincoln's second, handles things for him, gathers recon. he approaches lincoln a few times, wanting to talk about his feelings and what happened in vietnam. lincoln can either choose to ignore him ("i don't want to talk about it.") or listen, comfort, and connect with him. if lincoln ignores him too many times, he ends up dying somehow.
i haven't put much thought into who gets which rackets/enemies specifically, but i know cassandra would want to take out the southern union. this gets her frisco fields if i remember correctly, and i think this could introduce a very interesting series of side quests in which you help the voice (or possibly roxy) bring about serious change in this district. i've thought about them helping Black folks move in, protecting them. those first few people will be met with serious resistance, but lincoln helping them to stand their ground will pave the way for more to come. eventually you get cassandra-protected Black businesses, and lincoln can now enter buildings and stores that were previously segregated, opening up more of the map. i know segregation doesn't work that simply, but i'm thinking in terms of expanding gameplay while still keeping m3's discussion of important issues. father james gets his own sidequests too, which help to bring lincoln back down to earth and shine more light on his background, motivations etc. (actually fleshed out with cutscenes and action etc. instead of just going over to talk to him and swiftly moving on) and of course our solider would get his own sidequests. that means the 3 sidequest givers, the voice, father james, and the soldier, each illuminate some different struggle lincoln is going through.
following the death of sal's capos, the storylines reconnect, your 3 bosses reunite (now cassandra, nicki, and alma (i think this would have to depend on your loyalty level with vito and alma. low loyalty alma could possibly turn against lincoln for getting vito killed): who get along much better), and the last few missions are about taking the fight directly to sal. lincoln is not in this alone, he has a lot of allies now who help him push into the casino and up the levels. how much care lincoln gives to others and to the city will be reflected back on him at the end. if he took over ruthlessly and used people carelessly, you get a bad ending. if he helped others and tried to change things for the better, he gets a good ending, etc.
misc stuff: vehicle stores (cars, boats, bikes), purchasing property (businesses, safe houses, garages, boat storehouses), clothing stores, and recreational activities PLEASE

Secret Crush on You Ep 11
-Toh has yet again forgotten that he can be perceived in public and is chicken fighting with a piece of fried chicken for some reason.🍗🐔
-More of the dreaded 'wifey' term. I actually don't mind couples in BL using the term if it's not solely being used to denote top or bottom. But I also think there's misogynist reasoning behind both the use of the term and the hating of it in BL couples. But that's something that should probably be a separate post.
-All the friends hyping up Toh...so precious (I told you I was gonna overuse that word.)☺️
-I'm now also feeling incredibly nervous for Toh to meet Nuea's dad. Like outside of the possible homophobia issue since Nuea's never openly dated a man before...Toh's so sensitive.
-That wasn't awful...though Nuea's dad seems a bit of a grumpster.
-Aww, Mom is very nice. I think I recognize her from something else though...was she another mom somewhere?? (Must be My Dear Donovan, that's the only other thing I've seen she was in.)
-Sweet lord the friend accidentally outed them maybe. Whoopsie daisy.
-Toh is gonna pass out isn't he...
-Why is Toh now imagining their wedding??? Though the suits look great. Oh god, this took a turn.
Tumblr media
-OMG Toh!!! I wanted him to do it, but I didn't think he would (because you know, homophobic violence is a very genuine concern). It's official Toh is a badass, weird nerd, possible creepy stalker or not.
Tumblr media
-What Nuea's dad said to Toh was so kind. He just has a grumpy exterior.🥰
-Fucking eww Toh.🐷
-Oh I hope Daisy changed up his look because he wanted to. I don't want him to change because he thinks he has too. Like he's gorgeous either way, but I don't want anyone to dull his shine. (Also, the barking puppy ringtone may not read very masculine my guy.)
-Day/Daisy you dropped that spoon on the floor and didn't go get a clean one!!! 🤢 We'll address your change in behavior in a minute but you're clearly going through something.
-Aww, Som can be so sweet, if a little blunt. Daisy/Day's friends get it. They just love him and want him happy, however he wants to present.
-Sweet baby. Touch's friends should be ashamed for gossiping like that, not you Daisy/Day. You're wonderful and Touch knows that, it's why HE likes you.
Me during this scene:
Tumblr media
-Don't show that to Sky, I don't think he has the emotional control to not beat the snot out of someone.
-Aww...good handling of that with Jao. He made Jao his first concern and checked in with him because he's aware of his insecurities. (Sky's working on it, but it takes time.)
-I swear to God if it's Prao and her bitchy little friends. (Google: How to beat up a fictional television character??)
This ep is automatic 10/10 for Toh's baddassery, the handling of the Daisy/Day concerns, and Nuea's parents not being homophobic garbage.
Awkwardness 7/10...it would be like a 4/10, put fucking Toh had to steal a cooked pig's head from the party.

Written in the present tense
Part 3
Warnings: Mention of blood, accidental violence, swearing
Word Count: 928

This is set a couple years after the events of both books.
Tumblr media
Cas - Gabriela Navarro...
Gabbie - Just Gabbie is fine.
Cas - H-how?
Gabbie - I don't know.
She looks down at her hands for a moment.
Gabbie - Maybe I have something unfinished, or something is keeping me here. But what I do know is that you could do with some help. I've been watching since you arrived. Sorry about my brother by the way.
Cas - Don't apologise. His anger is warranted.
Gabbie - I don't know what's happened to you, but you can't keep being reckless like you have been, you may have nothing to fight for, but they do.
Cas - That's what Stevie said.
Gabbie - I know. I was there. So why do you think you have nothing?
Cas - I've been exiled from my home. I had friends. And yeah, there was someone, but they chose somebody else!
Gabbie - I know you've only been here a couple of days, but you should give this place a chance. Give people a chance. Acting like an asshole and shutting people out won't get you anywhere.
Cas nods.
Gabbie - Perhaps this place could be a fresh start for you. Cas Harlow two point zero.
Cas - More like three.
Gabbie - My point stands. Give them all a chance.
Cas takes a breath, Gabbie's right. Beachwood is a chance at a new life for him.
Cas - ...Thank you, Gabbie. And I'll help you find a way to move on. Whatever that is.
Gabbie - One supernatural problem at a time.
Cas - Guess I should make an apology or two.
Gabbie - Maybe. And think about what I said.
Cas - I... I will.
Gabbie places her hand on his shoulder before fading away, leaving Cas facing her headstone.
Tumblr media
The next morning, Blake, Tyler, Donovan, and Stevie hang out at the local diner and Donovan scowls when he sees Cas walk in, approaching.
Cas - This your local hang out?
Donovan - What do you want?
Cas - To apologise. The boulder was too much. The truth is I'm not overly used to working with people. I only just managed to get the hang of teamwork a couple years ago when I dealt with the Creations before. But, I'm side tracking. I know you all have your reasons to fight, and truth be told, I don't. But, if you're still okay with it, I'd... I'd like your help getting rid of the Creations, and to give me a second chance.
Tyler - No more unexpected boulders?
Cas - No.
Stevie stands and wraps her arms around him. Hesitant at first, he brings his arms up around her before she steps back. Cas looks to Donovan.
Donovan - Fine. I'll give you a second chance.
Stevie takes Cas' hand, pulling into the seat next to her.
Donovan - What brought about this sudden change of heart?
Cas - Words from wise people.
He looks over at Stevie, giving a slight smile before looking to Donovan.
Cas - Including your sister.
Donovan - What?!
Cas - Her ghost visited me.
Donovan - She's a... a ghost?
Cas - Yeah. I made a promise I would help her move on. But she insisted that we deal with these things first. I'll take you all to her. I promise. She seems like a good person.
Tyler - The best...
Silence hangs for a moment as Donovan wipes a few tears.
Donovan - There are a couple of other people who will want to see her.
Blake - You mean Joanna.
Donovan - And Claudia. But not until we've gotten rid of these Creation things.
Blake - Which I've been thinking about. You said you scoured the woods.
Cas - Yeah.
Blake - What if they're not in the woods, but in town. There's the industrial area. And I know that at least one of those buildings is empty.
Cas - It could be a possibility.
Tyler - Then what're we waiting for?! Let's go get them.
Cas - No.
Tyler - I thought you had a change of heart!
Cas - I want to see what you can do first. Self defence, anything like that. And you need to hone things when on my blood.
Tumblr media
That afternoon, Cas watches as rocks crumble, fallen tree trunks shatter from blow after blow by the blood enhanced Beachwood crew. Cas catches a small rock that flew off from Donovan's punch.
Cas - Not bad.
Donovan - I have a bit of anger to work out.
Cas - Fair enough.
As afternoon turns to evening, Cas tests each of them in a hand to hand sparring match. His experience as a Vampire allows him to get the better of them, but not without close calls. Stevie swipes her leg, flooring Cas.
Blake - Yes, Stevie!
Cas throws his legs to get back on his feet, and Stevie launches her fist into his face.
Cas - Ah!
Stevie - Sorry! Meant to stop just shy.
Cas wipes the blood from his nose, smiling.
Cas - Don't apologise for a good strike. You all know what you're doing, I'll give you that.
Stevie - We may have taken some classes.
The corner of Cas' mouth forms into a smile, but that smile soon turns to concentration when a chittering sound echoes...
Cas - Shit.
Blake - What is it?
Cas' eyes turn their Vampiric silver as the Creations begin closing in on the group. All this time Cas has been hunting them, they have been hunting him.
Cas - They're here...
