pairing(s): maddy perez x fem!reader (no pronouns used.)
warning(s): angst? arguing? none technically. old fic meaning old ass writing.
summary: you can't understand why Maddy won't save your failing relationship
part two. (coming soon!)
────────✬────────
you were laid against fezco's couch while you, him, and rue shared a blunt. tv on, with a random movie blaring from it. you don't know, you weren't really paying attention. maddy was clouding your mind as she usually did.
you had your sixth argument alone this week. you were tired—you couldn't understand. everything was fine. you were fine—more than fine, you were happy. so was maddy or at least you thought because all she seemed to do was start an argument lately. the weirdest part: she'd get even more mad when you tried to deescalate the situation and understand her.
"i think jules is cheating on me." rue announced, blowing smoke from her nose.
"oh word?" fezco let out while I was hummed in response.
was that it? was maddy cheating on you? no. you held her too high to think of her doing that.
"she’a been hanging with elliot a lottt." rue dragged her words.
"maybe you should ask her..." you trail off.
“you know, communicate.”
"yea’ that's word. communication is key." you both turn to fezco.
"when have you been in a relationship?" rue asked the question you were both thinking.
"don’t worry about me—I know a little some." you snort, you loved fez. you knew if you needed anything he had you.
"yo, there's this weird ass old guy out back." everyone looked at ashtray who held a shotgun in his hands.
"fuck, man."
fez stood and turned to both of you, "y'all should head out."
you didn't ask any questions, standing up you made your way to the door. rue behind you as well, grumbling about how she was comfortable.
"you need a ride?" you asked the Bennett.
"nah I got a bike."
maddy's house was on the way to yours so you figured why not stop by. you weren't in the mood to argue so you thought maybe you could get her relaxed and watch a movie.
you knocked on the door a totaled or three times before her mom open it,
"y/n?" she seemed oddly surprised to see you.
"hey mrs.perez, is maddy here?"
"yeah, she's in her room." she pointed to the familiar stairs, stepping aside to let you.
you followed the route upstairs, knocking on the bedroom door twice before peaking your head in. maddy on her bed, phone to her ear. her eyes met you face and she rolled her eyes before telling whoever (assumed Cassie) on the phone she'd call them later.
"hey—I was on my way home and wanted to stop by, hope you don't min—
"come here." you followed, closing the door behind you. surprisingly, she pulled you into a hug, after placing a kiss on the corner of your mouth.
"listen, I don't wanna argu—
"were you smoking?" she questioned, sniffing your shirt that had a light scent of weed.
"yeah, just a little." you mutter already having an idea where this was going.
"you've been doing it a lot—and you've been hanging with rue."
"i’m not on that shit, maddy. just some weed and light drinking. just to relax." you huff at her accusation.
"drinking too? what? you gonna end of like my dad AND rue?" here you go.
"maddy—"
"you’re so fucking selfish." here come the insults.
“i do it because of you!" you blurt of out, voice rising.
"me? no you do because you're fucking self and only think about yourself. god—i should've known when i found you were friends with rue and fez."
you perk up, pointing your finger. “they're good people. don’t you fucking look down on them."
you weren't normally defensive but you weren't gonna let her shit talk your people.
"look, maddy, i didn't come here for this shit. so call me when you get your head on right, bro." you stood, trying to exit of the door you came in but maddy’s hand caught your wrist.
"stay."
"i just—
"we can watch a movie." she gave you doe eyes and you contemplated for a second.
if you stay you know you'd probably argue again but there's also a chance you can be civil. but that was a 75 to 35 ratio
"please, baby."
you sigh, sitting back down.

Warning nsfw content Minors dni.
Contains unprotected sex, mentions of cum and overstimulation and everything else nasty.
Friends with benefits, fem reader and Felix bet that reader can't sleep with anyone else because according to him it's "my pussy".
+
Hii! So I found out I hate doing requests and I've been gone for a good week or 2 but I'm back! I'll be posting more often hopefully but I hope u guys enjoy this! Been an idea in my head for awhile now and I'm obsessed with Lee Felix these days but who isn't? TAKE CARE
You're not surprised to see Felix standing in your living room when you get home, he's got an annoying smirk on his pretty pink lips upon seeing your arrival and he's giving you a look that just screams I fucking told you so.
"I'm not in the mood Felix." You say before he can even start and he puts his hands up in a surrendering gesture.
"Wasn't gonna say anything, sweetheart." He smiles at you innocently but you know Felix well enough to know he's just waiting to pour alcohol in your cut.
"I'm serious," you throw your purse down on the floor more aggressively than you had meant to. "I'll fucking kill you if you say it."
Felix can barely hold back a laugh, eyes squinting as he walks to you with open arms.
"Fine, I won't say I told you so," he says as he pulls you into his chest. "Want to tell me what happened?"
You groan, squeezing your eyes shut tight before hiding your face in his chest as the memories came flooding back to the surface of your brain. All you wanted to do was go on about your day and try to pretend it never happened.
"He couldn't get me to cum-" you groan again, feeling heat rushing to your face.
"Is that all?" You can feel Felix's chest begin to shake as he tries to contain his laughter only for your sake.
"-I had to fake an orgasm and he kinda caught on which resulted in me leaving and it was so awkward. I thought I was going to die."
"Wanna know why you couldn't cum?" Felix asks tauntingly, forcing your chin up to look him in his eyes and he places a peck on the tip of your nose. "It's 'cause he's not me."
You can't stop yourself from rolling your eyes at the cocky motherfucker, hating the fact you knew deep down inside he was right, you were hooked to Felix.
"Lucky for you though, I'm here. What would you do without me?" He presses his lips against your cheek in a soft sweet peck.
"I'd have to start buying my brownies from the store." You wrap your arms around his neck and lean on your tippy toes to connect your lips with his in a kiss for a moment
"You know damn well I'm good for other things too but I see you've forgotten, must need a reminder hm love?"
And that's exactly how you ended up under Felix for the umpteenth time, Felix thinks it's where you should've been all along, under him with him between your legs and his cock stuffing your needy pussy to the brim. He loves this position just so he can see your face as he slides out of you only to slide right back in your velvety walls with a sqwelsh, loves seeing your eyes roll to the back of your head as your brain turns to mush all because of his cock.
"Look at that-" he has to hold the back of your neck up to get you to watch when he slides out of your pussy again, only to push right back in your pulsating count, watching the way your walls wrap around him so deliciously. "That's all mine baby, my pussy. Say it."
"Ahh fuck Felix..." You whine out, Felix knows your head is practically mush right now and it makes him chuckle but he's determined, slapping your pussy hard enough to see if that'll make you come back to your senses just enough.
"Say it, tell me who's pussy this is." He demands, rutting in to you at such a fast pace it's hard for you to form a coherent sentence.
"Yours." You breathe out, hands searching for something to grab onto and you opt for your bedsheets, fisting the fabric in your hands for deer life. "Yours, yours, yours. Ts'your pussy-"
"There you go, good girl." He watches the way your face scrunches up in pleasure as you cream all over his cock, lips parting and he can't help but to kiss your parted lips as he fucks you through your high till your thighs are shaking from the overstimulation.
"Too much- pleasee-" You beg, eyes beginning to gloss over with tears from how overstimulated your pussy feels but Felix isn't done yet.
"Give me one more baby, please? I know you can fucking take it." Felix continues thrusting in your pussy at his same fast pace, not bothering to wipe your mascara and tear covered face nor the drool spilling from the corner of your lips, sadistically basking at the sight of your fucked out state.
"fuck fuck fuck." You mumble repeatedly as you begin to feel that familiar knot forming again, Felix's thrusts get sloppier and he reaches his hand down to begin playing with your clit, rubbing hard and fast circles as he rests his forehead against yours.
"Take that fucking dick, that's it, baby fuck." Felix can't help but ramble on as he feels himself getting closer and closer to his release, becoming drunk off your pussy and cumming instantly with you when he feels your pussy clenching around him like crazy as you reach your own orgasm, whole body shaking in pleasure as he fucks his white hot sticky fluids into you for good measure. "So next time you try and give my pussy away you'll remember this is mine." He pecks your lips a few times, patting your fucked out pussy a few times in the process and making you flinch with each pat.

Desperate
Genre: Smut, kinda fluffy at the end
DNI: NON-MLM/NBLM, fujoshis, mlm/nblm fetishizers, trans fetishizers
CW: Feminine words used for privates, I used words like "clit", "dick" and "t-dick" to describe that part, "pussy" and "cunt" is also used, t4t :p, scissoring, pillow humping, squirting, thigh riding, talks of toys but none are used, they get wet (bcuz sex but also bcuz they take a bath)
Character(s): Top Trans Male Reader x Bottom Trans Tighnari
Tighnari was desperate. So so very desperate. His hips wouldn't stop rolling against your pillow, positioning it so it rubs his dick. He hadn't remembered how long he'd been doing this for, but the pillow was soaked so it must've been a while. His mind was filled with nothing but fantasies involving you touching him, fingering him, eating him out, fucking him slow and deep, rubbing your cunt against his...fuck he was so wet. He couldn't think straight because of how turned on he was.
"(N-name) please...need your cock." he whimpered out as he desperately humped the pillow, ears flat against his head and tail wagging like crazy. He was originally going to wait until you got home, but he couldn't help himself. He was so horny. He's been trying to cum for so long, but the pillow wasn't enough for him. He kept changing the position so it'd rub his cunt just right, but he just couldn't get it so he gave up and started rutting against it like an animal in heat.
He turned onto his back, bucking his hips and rubbing the pillow against his needy pussy. He whined, still not getting the proper friction he needed. Tilting his head to the side he looked at the alarm clock, still moving his hips. 'He should've been home by now.' He thought to himself with a frown on his face. He was frustrated. Frustrated at the fact that he couldn't cum. Frustrated at the fact that you locked up the box of toys so he couldn't use one. Frustrated at the fact that you weren't ther-
His ears perked up as he heard the front door open, completely wrecking his train of thought. You were there. You could give him relief. Fuck he wanted you so bad. He was still humping the pillow and whined loudly, desperately trying to get your attention.
"Tighnari?" You called out, looking for him after hearing his whine. You opened the door and saw him humping the pillow like crazy. He was already looking at the door with a pout on his face.
"Oh Tighnari...how long have you been doing this?" You asked while sitting down on the bed. You looked at the pillow in between his legs and saw that it was absolutely drenched. The sight was enough to make you feel a cool wetness between your thighs.
"I-I can't cum. Please I-I've been waiting for you for so long." He begged still rutting against the pillow. You grabbed it and placed it at the end of the bed receiving a whine from him in return. You get in between his tan thighs, spreading his cunt with your thumbs to get a look at just how wet he was.
"Fuck Tighnari, I'm sorry for leaving you alone for so long. Let me help you." You said as you ran a finger along his slit, gathering his arousal onto your finger before rubbing his throbbing dick. He groaned and squirmed at the stimulation. He was so happy that he was finally feeling the pleasure he had wanted. You slid off your pants with your other hand not wanting to deprive him of the pleasure you were bringing him, and sat up on the bed. You were far too impatient and turned on to open the toy box so you decided to do something far easier.
You stopped rubbing his clit and positioned your cunt over his. He looked at you with a pout and bucked his hips bringing his pussy to yours, fuck you couldn't tease him. You gave in and started grinding your pussy against his, the sounds it made were so lewd it made you even more wet than you were before. It felt so good to feel his wet pussy against yours. Feeling his soaked folds against your own had you wanting to moan like a pornstar.
"(N-name) just like that...fuck." Tighnari sighed feeling your puffy clit rub against his deliciously. This was bringing him closer to the edge, fast. You kept rolling your hips against him letting soft moans leave your lips as you felt his cunt get wetter and wetter. You looked down at where you two were connected and practically whined at what you saw. Your sopping pussy rubbing against his was such an erotic display, your t-dick bumping his as your folds slid against his own, sticky fluid coating both your bare cunts. That combined with the noises it made and his moans could make you cum within seconds, but you held back, wanting to make your beloved feel good. This was all about him. This was for his pleasure. You wanted to cum yes, but getting him to cum was far more important to you.
"I'm close!" The man whined as he started rolling his hips, desperate for release. You gasped when he did and started going a bit faster. His whiney moans got louder and louder as you kept going and you almost lost it.
You looked down at him and put a finger to his lips. He looked at you, confused, until you say "Hear that Tighnari? Hear how wet you are? You're such a needy boy, all soaked for me." His face turned bright red as he heard the noises your soaked cunts made as you both rut against each other. He whimpered and moved his hips more desperately than before. He was close, very close. Neither of you slowed down, keeping the fast pace. You were so happy no one lived close by. You guys wouldn't be able to moan without shame if someone did. Tighnari's moans were like music to your ears and you were glad he didn't have to hide them.
"C-coming!" The dark haired man moaned out, you kept your pace as you felt and saw liquid squirt out of him. Holy fuck...did he just-?
You stopped rolling your hips, not wanting to overstimulate him, and removed yourself from him. You hovered over him as you brush some hair out of his face and ask "Tighnari...did you just squirt?" You didn't think it was possible, but his face got even more red. He hid behind his hands, nodding his head quickly out of embarrassment. He had only done it once before, so it still flustered him.
You smiled and gently moved his hands from his face, placing a soft kiss on his cheek. "Don't be embarrassed Tighnari." You said as you held his hand comfortingly.
You got up to start a bath when you heard Tighnari mumble something. "You haven't cum yet..."
"That's fine love, as long as you're taken care of." You responded, smiling at him reassuringly. You actually were okay with not finishing, you could just relieve yourself while he bathed. He shook his head and sat up, straightening out his legs and patting his thigh. You blushed and walked over to him. You couldn't refuse riding his thigh, it was one of your favorite things to do when he was in charge.
You sat on his thigh and started to move your hips. Soft moans filled the air once again as did the noises of your wet cunt rubbing on his skin. Tighnari flexed his thigh and watched as you humped it. Seeing your slick folds glide against his skin was getting him wet again. He knew he shouldn't have watched since he was still wiped from earlier, but it was such a hot sight he'd be dumb to look away. You looked so handsome rutting against his thigh. He sits up a bit more and placed one hand on your hip, the other going to your dick.
"Tighnari! Tighnari!" You couldn't stop chanting his name as you squirmed on his thigh. His hands working on your dick and you humped his thigh was too much for you. Your eyes squeezed shut as you let out a loud moan and came on his thigh, coating it with more slick than before.
He stopped rubbing your clit when your hips stopped moving. You slumped against his chest and he kissed the top of your head, wrapping his arms around you and rubbing your back.
"Let's go take a bath, hm?" He suggested, looking down at you. You just nodded since you were still recovering from your orgasm, and you both got up to get the bath ready.
Tighnari stepped in first and spread his legs, allowing you to sit in between them and lean against his chest. He loved this, loved you. Spending time with you and doing intimate activities were some of the best things in the world to Tighnari. He played with your fingers and kissed your head as you both took a moment to relax, his tail resting on you in a protective manner. You watched him play with your fingers with a small smile on your face. Turning around, you gave him a soft kiss on the lips which he gladly returned.
He pulled away still leaving his face close to yours. "I love you (Name)."
"I love you too."

This was my first ever t4t story I wrote! Like I said in my last post my tags/account stopped working when I posted it so I deleted it, but i'm hoping everything works out this time!! Ik it's kind of similar to the Baizhu one I made but I really like this type of t4t content (in terms of sexual things). Tbh more trans men scissoring smut needs to be made it's so good :(. Anyway I changed some wording to make it more trans male aligned and not just afab aligned :)

Heya, this is the same anon that asked you for art advice, and I wanted to thank you so much for answering my questions! It means a lot, no one around me actually encourage my art dreams because since I suck at art right now and have no talent they think I can't become one, so it really meant a lot that an artist as great as you gave me so much advice (and with so many cute illustrations too). Thank you from the bottom of my heart! When I become an artist, I'll list you as my inspiration!
Tumblr media
You're welcome, twas no problem. I'll let you in on a lil secret: every artist I've ever admired has put in countless amount of hours to get better at what they do. Maybe folks think 'talent' equates to 'it comes easily to you' right away. But to me, 'talent' means the culmination of time and efforts it takes to expose and unearth your skill. Without training to reveal it, or endeavors to keep sustaining it, all that supposed talent that should've been there disappears like pencil dust in the wind. 🌬️
Sometimes all you have is a drive to do something and the 'getting good' part comes along the way. So keep at it. No one is ever great starting out. I certainly wasn't. BEHOLD! Some of the earliest work.

All Right
Wednesday x Kitsune!Reader
A/N: Last part! Thanks for the support! I'll probably do one-shots for my kitsune after this.
Part One|Part Two|Part Three|Part Four|Part Five|Part Six|Part Seven
"Mom, I've got to go!"
Those words greeted you as you round the corner to Eugene's hospital room for a planned visit. The urgency in them made you furrow your brows as you neared the boy.
"Wednesday's one of the only friends I have. The first friend I've made. If she's in trouble, I've got to help. It's hive code."
Your steps speed up after hearing your crush's name and you almost collide with Eugene as he tries to leave. You reach out to steady him and hold him still.
"Whoa, whoa! Eug, what's going on? Wednesday's in trouble?"
He nods, causing his glasses to slide down his nose. "She and Principal Weems went to confront Ms. Thornhill who's the real bad person here." Rushing to explain, he grabs your arm and pulls you along. "We figured it out while she was visiting on her way out. It's been hours though and I haven't heard from her at all."
That news would've had you moving at mach speed, but you opted to let Eugene lead the march. You didn't want to leave him behind. The both of you reach the streets, bypassing the hospital staff surprisingly easily. Orienting yourself to your surroundings, you begin the trek to Nevermore.
"We have to get to the hive. I need my bees at the ready." You nod in reply.
In your peripheral, you notice squad cars. All but one, surprisingly. You think for a moment before making a decision. In quick movements, you dart to each car and slash every tire. With a satisfied smirk, you race back to Eugene.
"That'll keep the cops from interfering. We'll have to make sure that the school is safe. If that drawing of Crackstone and Wednesday was any indication things'll go down ther-"
There's a sudden pull in your chest that makes you stumble. Your heart feels like it's caught in a vice and it's getting harder to breathe. Your eyes dart around until you feel the pull again. Instinctually, you seem to know why.
"Y/N!" Eugene calls out. "We gotta hurry!"
"You go ahead, Eugene. I know you need your bees." Your vulpine features begin to appear. "I think... I think Wednesday needs me right now." As you take a step, a burst of foxfire springs from your feet. "We'll meet up afterwards. Stay safe."
In a flurry, you launch forward and let your heart pull you to its destination.
-----+++++-----
Death wasn't something Wednesday feared. All paths lead to it. But laying on a cold stone floor with a knife protruding from her stomach made her feel like she could've done more. She should've done more. Sure, she wasn't scared of death but losing made it so much worse.
As the goth laid with her life slowly seeping out, she thought about her schoolmates. Her... Friends. Were they capable of stopping Joseph Crackstone? Could they end Laurel and Tyler? There were too many variables that Wednesday couldn't control now.
And what about Y/N? Wednesday closed her eyes and sank into the memory made hours earlier. Soft hands caressing her skin. Warm presence enveloping her once thought dead heart. Love was the last thing she ever wanted in life and yet it found her here. But the feelings you made her feel ended up becoming familiar the more you spent time with her. She was so used to it that the moment you weren't a constant anymore, it pained her immensely. She was always more of a sadist than a masochist.
As she let herself live in that memory during her final moments, a familiar roar of flames sounded nearby, followed by a more familiar voice.
"Wednesday!"
She forces her eyes open to see your worried face. Almost immediately, you were at her side, gently moving her so you could cradle her against you.
"H-how did you find me?"
A weak smile graced your lips. You gave yourself any excuse to touch her face. It made you feel better that she was still breathing.
"You called for me." Wednesday was confused. She thought of you, that was a definite, but summoning wasn't the goal. You just laugh at the confusion. "My heart led me here, as stupid as that sounds. Looks like you don't need my spirit orb to get me by your side."
Closing your eyes, you press your lips onto the top of her head. You could feel Wednesday get colder. It was as if she was slipping through your arms.
"I don't know what I can do... How can I help?"
"You can't..."
You hold Wednesday tighter. Tears threatened to fall, but you wouldn't allow them. You had to believe that your love would be okay.
You had to.
A moment of silence stretched for what seemed like hours before you hear Wednesday's voice again.
"Are you here to take me to the other side?"
Your head jolts up and you look around, seeing nothing. When you look down at Wednesday, you see her eyes trained towards something on her other side.
"Is your spectral vision impaired? I'm dying!"
You let out a soft laugh which draws Wednesday's attention. "Goody is here. No doubt to find some way to riddle me into a quicker death."
Her eyes dart over to the side again to where you assumed Goody was. When she struggles to reach under her collar, the goth asks you to help take her necklace out while she speaks to her ancestor. Once complete, Wednesday takes a tight hold of it before looking at you.
"... Pull the knife out." You were about to protest but she interrupts you. "Goody has a way to heal me. But I need this blade out of my stomach so please..."
You manage a nod before taking a hold of the knife's handle. Taking a deep breath, you only give Wednesday a moment before pulling the blade out and tossing it aside. When the goth's hand covers the wound, your hand drapes over it to help stem the bleeding. There wasn't much you could do, but you tried your damnedest to do what you could. It isn't long before you see a glow appear around Wednesday's hands.
"Whoa..."
As the glow ebbs slowly, you hear a soft voice around you.
"It seems I was wrong. A Raven need not be alone on their path."
You could only barely register the words before Wednesday launches up, sucking in a breath like it was her first. She brings up her hand and you both see the wound there close up. With a wide grin, you stood up and helped Wednesday to her feet. You wanted to pull the girl into a hug, but time was of the essence.
"We have to get to the school." Wednesday was already moving as she spoke. You followed with a determined nod.
"Update me on the way."
-----+++++-----
The pair managed to make it off the island and into the woods surrounding the academy. The news of Weems's death caught you off guard but it spurred you to finish this until the very end. You knew for sure that you wanted to punch Tyler in his hyde face.
That chance came sooner than you thought.
Tyler appears in front of you, close enough that you had to back away, staying between him and Wednesday. A low growl sounds from your throat, ready to fight.
"Laurel said you were dead."
"I'm feeling much better now." As usual, Wednesday's quips were quick.
"You're like a cockroach." This time, you were quick on the draw.
"What a flatterer. I can see why you fell for him, Wednesday." That earned you a jab in the ribs.
Tyler stalks forward, his body pulsing and protruding out in odd angles. His breathing becomes labored and his clothes tear as his figure grows.
"This will not end well for you."
You crouch low as your vulpine features start to appear. Your twin tails furl out, blocking Wednesday from view.
"We'll see about that, ugly."
In an instant, the hyde claws at you. In a whirl, you take Wednesday in your arms and dodge the strike. As soon as you let her go, you dart towards the beast and attack. Like before, each of his strikes were met with three of yours. Your agility surpassed his and you were intent on making it work in your favor.
However, he managed to get a cheap shot in and throw you into a tree. In your struggle to get up, Tyler pinned Wednesday to a stump, ready to slash at her. In a burst of adrenaline, you dash towards them only to see a large furball crash into the hyde.
When you reach Wednesday, the two of you look towards your new ally before recognizing the pink and blue tips.
"Enid?"
There's a moment of recognition in the new werewolf's eyes as she sees her friends alive and breathing. But then her instincts kick in once Tyler is up and attacking again.
The two begin to battle as you and Wednesday watch. It isn't until she tugs on your arm that you look away towards her.
"I need to get to the school."
You're torn. It was unsure whether Enid could fully take on Tyler without help. But the danger at the school could end the love of your life. For good this time. After a moment of debate, you look at Wednesday with a determined face.
"Go. I'll stay and help Enid. We'll make sure Tyler doesn't make it over there." You take Wednesday's face in your hands. "If you die on me, I'll drag you back from hell myself."
"And I'll have your pelt on my wall if you should perish as well."
With those parting words, you turn away from each other. As Wednesday's footsteps retreat, you charge towards the fight ahead of you.
You reached the fray in time to lay a good strike on Tyler before he could knock Enid aside. Taking the opportunity, the werewolf body checks him into a tree. With a nod to each other, you both move in sync to flank the hyde. Enid darts forward with a growl and launches into a low slash. You follow suit, but with a high strike. Tyler's pained roar echoes throughout the woods and he swings his arms around. The unexpected thrashing caught Enid off guard and he knocked her aside.
Enid slides across the forest floor and is slow to get back up. You place yourself between the large beasts when Tyler begins stalking towards Enid. You can see the cocky smirk on his face and it infuriates you. Glancing over at Enid, you see that she's still struggling. Her face is gashed. It makes you even angrier.
There's a sudden pulse within your soul. You can feel a warmth from your core spread to your limbs. Your twin tails wave and flicker wildly. Seconds feel like hours as pulse after pulse thrum in your being. But as soon as the assault begins, it ends. There is peace for a moment. Enid looked at you with worry during the event, but now, it's with wonder.
Your two tails had become three.
Renewed power floods your veins when Tyler finally reaches you to attack. Your claws erupt in flames as you attack before he could fully extend his arm. The sudden pain causes the hyde to stagger back. The next time he looks at you, there's suddenly three, four, five versions of you surrounding him. Illusions at last. Each one he tries to hit vanishes in a mist. When he finally reaches you, the beast doesn't even get a chance to strike. Enid vaults over you and tackles Tyler, sending them careening across the forest floor. When they stop, Tyler towers over a pinned Enid until a gunshot sounds from somewhere. The hyde rears back in pain, allowing you to use your entire weight and momentum from running to knock him aside and check on Enid.
The battle ends. You don't know where Tyler ends up, but he didn't matter anymore. He wasn't a threat right now when you vaguely see his form shrink. From your peripheral, you see Enid shrink as well and you race to her side to tend to her.
Your hoodie is around her body as soon as you get to her and you pull the trembling body close to you. Hugging as tight as you could, you hold onto her until she pushes you away.
"Wednesday needs you. Go to the school."
"I can't leave you alone, E"
"I'm not alone."
Your ears catch the gentle scurry of Thing as he approaches. He gently places himself onto Enid's hand in comfort. With a smile, you nod.
"I leave her to you then, Thing."
Before getting up, you gently hold Enid's unmarred cheek and look into her eyes.
"Before I go though. You won't hear this from your mom, so I'm gonna say it and mean it. I'm so fucking proud of you, Enid."
She gives you a wide grin before urging you to leave again. You bound away as fast as you can, hoping that you can make it to Wednesday before anything bad happens.
-----+++++-----
"Howdy Pilgrim."
The sudden appearance of Goody's descendent surprised Joseph Crackstone. How can someone he sent to the depths of hell still be walking amongst the living?
"How canst thy heart still beat? What demon sorcery is this?"
Wednesday is silent as she readies her sword, the same that her parents used against Garrett Gates years ago. Before a battle could begin, however, a voice sounds from behind Wednesday.
"Stay away from her!"
There's only a moment for the goth to register that Xavier is there before an arrow speeds past her. The missile was halted before it could hit its target. Crackstone seems to be using some sort of magic to manipulate it. How ironic.
The Pilgrim turns the arrow with a menacing grin and launches it back to its sender. Wednesday, keen on protecting all of the students, steps into its path and takes the hit on her shoulder in Xavier's stead. When the boy tries to help, Wednesday assures that she's fine and commands him to help the lingering outcasts. It takes a moment, but Xavier relents and leaves as the goth expertly removes the arrow from her person.
Taking up the blade once more, she attacks the revived corpse. Crackstone retaliates with his staff, trading blows and dodging strikes. In the end, there is a final parry that shatters Wednesday's blade, leaving her defenseless.
Crackstone takes the opportunity to use his staff's magic to pin Wednesday against an upturned table. The force of the magic pushes air from her lungs, making it difficult to breathe. Wednesday can only watch and listen to the cackles of a deranged dead man.
"I will send you back to hell."
Another push of magic surges against Wednesday and she can feel her ribcage collapsing under the pressure. There's a moment of uncertainty before the tip of a blade pierces through Crackstone's chest. With a wail, the Pilgrim turns towards his assailant, revealing a brave Bianca before him. Before she can do any more damage, he casts her away, sending her flying across the quad.
Using the distraction to her advantage, Wednesday crouches and reaches into her waistband. Completely defenseless, she was not. There was one more trick up her sleeve. Your birthday dagger.
As soon as Crackstone turns to face his original opponent, Wednesday drives the dagger into his heart. A pause. A breath. Crackstone is in disbelief. His time was far too short and yet he was so close to achieving his goal. But once again, an Addams ruins everything for him.
Wednesday pulls the dagger from his chest with a twist and a burst of foxfire emits from the wound. This causes Crackstone's body to char, embers appearing as his body begins to crack and crumble. Just as both Bianca and Wednesday think that he's just going to disintegrate into a pile, a magical pulse rushes from his body and explodes outwards, taking everything his magic caused with him.
Bianca joins Wednesday, looking around in disbelief. They share a smile until the click of a gun sounds behind them. Laurel Gates is still there to contend with.
"You brought a gun to a swordfight," Wednesday noticed. "That's probably the first smart decision you've made today."
The former Nevermore teacher stalks forward, gun pointed directly at Wednesday.
"I might not get to kill all the outcasts, but at least I'll get to kill you, Wednesday."
She pulls the trigger, resulting in an echoing bang. Silence follows until a groan breaks it.
You made it in time.
"Ugh... I hate getting shot." Bianca balks at you.
"You've been shot before!?"
"Yeah. Fox. Hunters. You know."
A frustrated growl pulls your attention as Laurel cocks her pistol again. Her aim is still on Wednesday despite your body blocking the way.
"I will get my revenge. My destiny will be fulfil- What?"
Barely noticeable to the rest of you, a bee sits right at the front sight of the pistol. It stalls Laurel enough for everyone to register a loud humming coming towards them. No, not humming.
Buzzing.
Before you know it, a swarm of bees engulf Laurel, stinging her and sending her to her demise. Eugene appears, hands held out as he controls his army.
"That's what you get for messing with Nevermore, bitch."
You have never been more happy to see the bee boy. He looks over at you and Wednesday with a proud smile.
"Hummers stick together, right?" You both reply with a solid nod.
Now that things are over, your knees buckle and you land on your butt, suddenly exhausted. Soon enough, the police arrive and all is well in the school once more.
-----+++++-----
You're sitting in the quad with your fellow dancers. After everything that happened, the school decided to close for the rest of the semester. You were glad for it, but you were going to miss people. One person in particular.
Said person caught your attention and you bid your friends goodbye before making your way over to the pale goth. A tinge of jealousy springs up when you see the item in her hands though.
"I see Xavier gave you his gift. Must be nice to be able to buy people the latest phone on the market like it's nothing," you grumbled.
Wednesday just rolls her eyes before shoving the phone into your hands.
"If I'm going to keep this, I might as well use it. Xavier already put his number in, but it could do with a few more." She looks at you expectantly. It was unnecessary seeing as you were already typing in your number and taking a selfie to set as the contact icon. After calling your phone to get Wednesday's number, you hand the device back.
"There. Contact info exchanged. I hope we keep in touch."
You sit on one of the low walls, leaning against the column it was attached to. While you knew you would keep in touch with the rest of your friend group, Wednesday was an unknown. Even with your growing relationship.
"I'm sure Enid invited you to San Fran," you say with a grin. "You're more than welcome to visit me in New Hampshire. Not too far from here, at least."
Wednesday stares at you and you welcome it. You don't think you ever really found it unnerving. It was a strange comfort whenever her dark eyes were on you. That should've been the first indication of how bad you had it for her.
"... I wouldn't be against you visiting me either."
If your smile got any wider, your face would be split in half. The fact that Wednesday wanted your company sent you over the moon.
"I'd love that. It'd be nice to see my dark soul in her natural habitat." A small chuckle escapes your lips when you're suddenly face to face with Wednesday. This close, you see uncertainty in her eyes as they flicker around, taking in your face. When she speaks though, there's a resolve in her voice.
"When you were upset with me, I didn't know why it affected me so." Her hands come up and cup your cheeks. You weren't sure whether the chill from her hands or the gentle touch sent shivers down your spine.
"When I kissed Tyler, while still pleasant at the time, it felt off." Her thumbs start to caress your cheeks and your eyes flutter slightly.
"I wonder... Will it feel off with you as well?" You're afraid this is a dream. You don't want to break this spell. With the lightest of touches, you reach for Wednesday's waist.
"Well..." You whisper. "There's only one way to find out."
You're not sure who moves first. You just know that as soon as your lips meet hers, nothing else matters. The ruckus and noise around you fade as Wednesday fills your every sense. Every time your lips part, you pull her back for more. Her hands are braced on your neck as she straddles your lap. Your arm holds Wednesday in place as your other hand travels up her back. She fits perfectly in your hands and you wonder if this is why legends of soulmates exist.
As much as you want to suffocate in Wednesday's embrace, oxygen calls to you. The goth leans back and you can see faint colors on pale skin. No doubt you're in the same way. You lean up to press your forehead against hers.
"What's the verdict?"
There's a devilish grin you've never seen on Wednesday before. While it should scare you, it only excites you more.
"Inconclusive. More testing is required, mia volpe."
Music to your ears.

Which miraculous(es) the perfect miraculous group would weild the best in your AU(Wu Xing and Ying-Yang)?
This recent poll will change something of your AU or is just for fun?
Again, it would depend on what I'm doing story and setting wise. Cause the Miraculous I crafted are made up of 27 and that's 7 potential team members I would do, with not all 7 being for sure. Not all 27 need to be in use, so that would come down to what swaps I want to do and what characters I'd want to focus on.
I really don't have an exact answer for you on this.
Though for this poll, I can tell you that it may. It is being done for genuine curiosity. How Miraculous are set up is something I always go back and forth on. Like, doing this all based on Chinese myth and culture and themes can work, but they're also not fully committing to it.
Like, the Five are based on Wu Xing.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
By this fact, Fox AND Turtle should have an edge over Butterfly, and be solid alternatives to Ladybug and Cat by extension. Say Butterfly is Wood, Fox as Fire should "burn it up" and Turtle as Metal should "break up Wood". But with how they went about things, it's hard to see how they could. Especially with canon pushing that Ladybug is the SOLE solution to dealing with Butterfly.
That's not working off Wu Xing properly.
And then there's Ladybug and Cat themselves.
Cat can work there. China really likes felines. But the Cat Miraculous works off the unlucky black cat which is exclusively west. China doesn't see cats as a catastrophe, they see them as lucky and as protectors, black as a color is tied to protection. So going with a kwami who's name is based on plague, and having a destructive power that could be easy to misuse, yeah that doesn't really work off what I've read.
And Ladybug has very little to it in China, I can't find a lot talked about to warrant the placement. Like, here's all the notes I put down on ladybugs in various cultures and what they're tied to and what they represent.
Tumblr media
There's a lot for Ladybug in Europe, but I couldn't find a lot of expanded details for Ladybug eastward, which tells me it should've been more Europe based and just traveled a bit. To add to it, looking up lucky animals in China's culture, so many animals come up but not ladybug, though it's regarded as lucky by default of being red, a lucky color.
And between the Ladybug and unlucky black Cat, it works more off the western view, which makes sense as it's a French show, which makes me wish they worked off French/European culture instead.
Which just comes back to how the show sets up Miraculous. They don't really click well coming from China. And looking at the poll at the time, a majority are in agreement.
Miraculous I feel should've been tied to iconic/major civilizations/regions OR they were just universal, had no set region that they were tied to and they traveled about and that's how you got a lot of the same animals popping up in different cultures.
The latter especially allows a lot of creativity in how Miraculous relate to each other. You can have it be that all are uniquely powerful in their own ways, and certain ones can be specific answers to Miraculous misuse. You can roll with Ladybug and Cat as counterparts and not question it. There can be other wish granting pairs and maybe the wish you want depends on the pair. Like, if you want immortality, does the Ladybug and Cat really need to recreate reality for that? And it's a give and take that swaps things around, what human is going to naturally be immortal? Can also do Miraculous can have a lot of different pairs, like Cat can pair with Mouse, Dog, Snake, or Tiger. But that does come with a lot of trying to figure stuff out, deciding what should exist, like, Cat can easily represent all cats, so iconic cats like Tiger and Lion may not need to exist, but they also don't have the same symbolism and myths as Cat, so arguments can be made for them to exist. And how big of a number of Miraculous should exist? I do think there should be more than 7, but I don't want the hundreds the show is going with. And then there's figuring out a system of control and how do they relate to each other? This option has a lot of open possibilities, but a lot will need to be thought of and have some foundation put down.
The former though can get into representing cultures, it can give you nice defined themes and groups to work off of. Most cultures work off an elemental system, which can offer clear systems of control for Miraculous in relation to each other. But for animals that do pop up in different cultures, yeah you need to sit and decide who should go where. Some are easy, like Turtle, Monkey, and Tiger should be with China, Snake and Peafowl should be with India, Ladybug and Bee should be somewhere in Europe. Horse though appears in various European cultures, China, India, Egypt; how do you decide where Horse goes? That's another thing to really think about and debate. As well as doing extra research to decide what themes and groups they should be tied too.
So, yeah the poll may influence things. Going with Miraculous tied to China, I do like what I set up, but I also acknowledge 27 is a lot. And I can't promise all 27 would get focused on. And I'm also still not sold about them all coming from China. And I do debate should some really exist?
Depending on the poll, I may reconsider things and make changes. Majority are in agreement with me about not being crazy about all Miraculous coming from China. If people are up for it, I may do more polls to help decide things, as I can struggle with making choices.
We got another 6 days on the poll at this time, so we'll see.

Sidney + i wish you would
Taylor Swift Writing Challenge: I Wish You Would
Tumblr media
Masterlist | Rules | Taglist | Library | More Sidney Prescott | #taylor swift writing challenge | AO3
synopsis: After a fight, you both chose to never ever talk to each other anymore. And so you both did, until the night mists take over your minds.
warnings: none.
Tumblr media
It's over. Completely, totally, hopelessly over. It's been a week since Sidney last saw you. Even more since she last heard your voice. And she's fine. Sidney is just fine. It's over, she's done with you and your problems and your face and anything and anyone that's part of your life. Sidney couldn't care less.
But she does. It's the only thing Sidney can think about since you took your things and went back to your home. Sidney didn't saw you anymore, but she can't stop picturing your face whenever her mind fly away. Sidney didn't heard your voice anymore, but sometimes she thinks you're calling her when you're not.
That's why she is awake at 2 am. Sidney woke up, almost fell from ther bed, so certain that you were calling her. But it was just a dream. Just a bitter dream.
Sidney tried to sleep, it didn't work. She tried to think about something else, it didn't work. Sidney called Tatum, but she was dreaming already. She walked around her house, made popcorn, watched horror movies: nothing worked. Nothing stopped her from thinking about you.
So she did the last thing a sleepy teenager should've: she robbed the key of her father's car and drove around the city. Just drive straight ahead until her mind stop yelling your name. Just wait until she stop wishing you could just come back to her.
It's been a thirteen days since you hung up the phone the way you did. A week since you last saw her walkind down the hall of your college. A week since you both break up. A week since you said you would never, ever, ever, talk to her again.
And it's been a week since all you can do is cry because Sidney let you go. A week since all you can do is wish she was right here, right, saying that ir's all good. You just... wish she would.
You couldn't sleep tonight. You tried, but soon you understood it was another long night alone with your thoughts. You cried watching The Princess Bride. You did everything you could, but nothing cured your broken heart.
Headlights pass the window pane of your house. Even that made you think about Sidney. About how you wish you could travel in time and stopped that fight. You even heard her voice calling you. Even that your mind was...
"C'mon! Are you really sleeping? Open you door!"
Slowly, you walked towards your window. You opened it with closed eyes, and then you looked to your garden. "Sidney?"
"I... I was driving around." Sidney licked her lips. "And when I looked I was on your front yard."
"And?"
"And wish you knew that I'd never forget you as long as I live, and..." Sidney breath in, colecting all her courage. "And if you ever miss me I'll be there. I'll be wating for you."
You closed your window. And opened your door.

Mini Fanfic #1164: A Glorious Christmas Morning (Super Smash Bros Ultimate)
9:12 a.m. at The Glorious Hotel and Suite's Dining Room.......
Zelda: ('GASPS') Oh my gosh!~ Mewwy!~ You got me a Bill Cipher Plushie this year!?~
Mewtwo: (Simply Nodded) The very last one they have in stock. Quite a miracle that I was able to get my hand on it before it was too late. I take it you already like it?
Zelda: (Happily Hugs her Christmas Gift) Mewwy, I absolutely adore this little triangluar gremlin already, thank youuu!~ How was your Christmas Shopping that night? It hadn't gotten too overwhelming for you, was it?
Mewtwo: In some cases where there were a large amount of crowd present, but the experience as a whole has gone smoothly for the most part.
Hades: (Suddenly Wraps his Arm Around Mewtwo's Shoulder with That Cheeky Grin of his) Many thanks by yours truly, of course!~ Those time manipulation tactics came in handy if I do say so myself. (Winks at Mewtwo)
Mewtwo: (Sighs While Rolling his Eyes) Yes, it did to some extent. Now get off of me.
Zelda: (Giggles a Bit) You know, it's kinda nice seeing you two get along for once. (Scooches Herself Over to Mewtwo and Whispers into his Ear) He didn't bride you into getting him what he wants before helping you, did he?
Hades: (Let's Out a Loud, Fake Gasps) Princess Heloise Zelda VI!
Zelda: Reeeally don't think that's my full name ther-
Hades: How could you take my act of genuine kindness and warp it around to me wanting something in return? On CHRISTMAS MORNING nonetheless!?
Rodin: (Walks By Wearong a Santa Hat) Considering all the crazy shit you've done over the eons, I wouldn't trust your ass near with a ten foot pole either.
Hades: No one asked you, Rodin! ('Sigh') Now, if you two will excuse me.....(Gets Up From his Seat, Wearing Black Colored, Silky Smooth Bedroom Robe) I will be taking my luxurious gift Mewtwo has been glorious enough give to me beforehand and take my precious time elsewhere, eating another plate of omelets. Hades Out. (Turbs Away From the Duo as He Walks Away in a Pompus Manner)
Zelda: (Turns to Mewtwo) You actually gave him a bathrobe for Christmas this year?
Mewtwo: I couldn't think of anything else to give him, so I figured a robe could suffice. (Pinches the Bridge of his Nose) Should've known this would make him act more obnoxious than he already is, sooner.......
Zelda: (Shrugs) It can't be helped. (Smiles Again) In the meantime, stick your arm out for me, Mewwy.
Mewtwo: (Does as He's Instructed With a Bit of a Confused Look on his Face) Like this?
Zelda: Perfect!~ Now, close your eyes?
Mewtwo: Seriously?
Zelda: Please?~ It won't be long and I promise you that it'll definitely be worth it in the end,
Mewtwo: ('Sighs in Defeat') Very well. (Closes his Eyes) My eyes are now closed.
Zelda: Sweet! (Starts Putting Something on Mewtwo's Arm) Alright........You can open them now!
Mewtwo opens his eyes and looks down to see a purple bracelet wrapped around the front of his arm with the words "Zelda's Bestie" imprinted on one side.
Mewtwo: You....got me a bracelet?
Zelda: (Smiles Proudly) A Friendship Bracelet made and customized my yours truly~ Even got one myself. (Shows Off Her Own Bracelet with the Words "Mewwy's Bestie" Imprinted) See? It symbolizes our bond and how far we've gotten as besties. (Bashfully Rubs the Back of her Head Back and Forth) I know it isn't greatest or even glamorous gift around, but-
Mewtwo: (Shakes his Head with a Small Smile) No. This is perfect. The best gift given to me thus far and it's all thanks to you. (Gives Zelda a Hug)
Zelda: (Let's Out a Huge Gasps as Her Eyes Start ) Oh my gossssssh, Mewwyyy!~ You're finally hugging me for the first time!~
Mewtwo: (Looks Down at his Arms Wrapped Around the Princess) Hm. Is that so? I suppose there's a first for everything.
Zelda: You got that right!~ (Happily Hugs Mewtwo Back) I love you so freaking much, Mewtwo~ (Gives Mewtwo a Kiss on the Cheek)
Mewtwo: I you too.
Hades: (Walks By Carrying a Plate of Omelets in his Hand) ('Ugh') Get a room already, you two.
...........................................................................................
Kumatora: (Happiness Hands Ludwig hus Gift) Merry Christmas, babe.
Ludwig: (Eyes Begins to Widened at the Gift in Question) The Complete Series of Bone.....
Kumatora: All in one novel. They were all on sale in the day I came into the bookstore, so I managed to get one of them before the whole shelf runs out. I even snagged this little guy for ya while I was at it. (Hands Ludwig his Second Gift, A Plushie of Fone Bone)
Ludwig: These are all amazing, Kumatora, thank you. (Frowns a Bit) Makes me feel even more terrible for not getting you anything in return.
Kumatora: (Softly Fling her Hand Up) Nah, don't worry about it. There wasn't really much I wanted this year to begin with. (Forms a Small Smile on her Face While Blushing) Except spending the whole month in the city with a certain genius, cutey of a Koopa whom I'm madly fallen for.
Ludwig: (Chuckles Lightly) Come now. I'm hardly THAT cute, you know?
Kumatora: Yeah, you're right. You're not cute. (Gently Pulls Ludwig Close to Her with a Seductive Like Smirk) You're adorable~
Ludwig: You're never gonna let me live it down, are you?
Kumatora: Nope.
Ludwig: Didn't think so. (Gives Kuma a Peck on the Lips)
'Soft Giggles'
The young couple turns to see the older couple, Alucard and Maria, watching them at the other side of the circluar table they're all sitting at.
Maria: How precious indeed~ (Turns to Alucard) Do you remember how lively our romance used to be, Adrian?~
Alucard: Yes, how could i ever forget how much of a hopeless romantic you were? Hm. Now that I said it out, I believe you're still as passionate as you've been all those eons ago.
Maria: (Giggles Softly Before Smirking a Bit Seductively) Oh really now?~ What ever brought you to that conclusion, my dear?~
Alucard: (Leans Closer to his Lover) Where do I even begin?
The older couple begins playfully rubbing each others nose together, much to Ludwig's mild annoyace.
Ludwig: (Rolls his Eyes] And here we go......
Kumatora: Getting embarrassed of your grandparents already, babe?
Ludwig: Sort of. They usually do this whenever I'm around, so I should be used to it by now.
The duo then noticed grunting sounds before turning to the culprit.
Roy: (Lifting Two Dumbell Up and Down While Sitting Down) 112.....113....114.....115.....
Kumatora: (Raises an Eyebrow in Confusion) ...Is he seriously lifting weights in the middle of Christmas Time right now?
Ludwig: ('Sigh') That's not even the half of it. Apparently, he asked for those dumbells for Christmas this year not too long ago, says he needs all the arm training he can get.
Maria: (Chimes in on the Watch With a Worried Frown) That poor dear. He's going to end up tiring his arm out at this rate
Alucard: (Already has a Deadpinned Look on his Face) If that doesn't scream out desperation, I don't know what is at this point.....
Kumatora: I am going to laugh so hard if he ends up losing next year.
........................................................................................
Ryuji: Aw sweet! (Happily Holds Up a Black Sweater with a Skull on Front) You got me this rad looking sweater?
Haru: (Smiles Brightly) Better~ Tifa-san taught me how to knit the whole thing.
Ryuji: (Eyes Widened a Bit) No way. She knits?
Haru: (Happily Nodded) Back when she and Cloud used to work in an orphanage. Her craftsmanship was such a sight to behold, it kind of makes me want to take up Knitting Classes someday in the future.
Ryuji: You keep making neat stuff like this and you'll be the coolest and prettiest Knitter before you even know it. (Winks at his Girlfriend)
Haru: (Giggles Softly Before Smirking Seductively at her Boyfriend) Back to your sweet-talking ways I see?~
Ryuji: (Smirks Back at Haru) Hey, if it helps seeing you smile and giggle some more on Christmas Morning, then I ain't complaining~
Haru: (Giggles Some More)
Ryuji: (Chuckles Lightly) See? I'm on fire already today.
Haru: (Gently Pulls Ryuji Close to Her) Get over here and kiss me already, Skull Boy~
Ryuji: Yes, ma'am~
The couple lean in closer to give each other their kiss until the sound clearing throat alerts the both of to stop what they're doing and turn to Morgana standing right in front of their seats.
Morgana: (Wave at the Duo with a Bit of a Sheepish Smile on his Face) Morning.
Ryuji/Haru: (Immediately Move Away From Each Other Before Putting on Fake, Awkward Smiles on Each of Their Faces) Mona!~
Ryuji: M-Merry Christmas, there, ya squirt!.....
Haru: D-D-Don't mind us, we were just-
Morgana: Relax. I already know you two are dating.
Ryuji: (Eyes Widened in Genuine Surprise) Oh shi- (Quickly Gets Hit on the Shoulder by Haru's) Ah!- I mean crap. Really? Since when?
Morgana: (Starts Rubbing The Back of his Head and Forth) I saw you hanging out at an outdoor café through the window of our hotel room not too long ago. While you we're....kissing and stuff. (Quickly Places his Hand on Top of Haru's) N-Now before you start saying anything, I just wanted to let you that I'm okay with all of this.
Ryuji: Wait, you are? Like....for real, for real?
Haru: (Gently Grabs onto her Baby's Hand With a Worried Look on her Face) You're not just saying that to make us feel better or less guilty, are you?
Ryuji: And are you sure you don't have the urge to punch me right now?
Morgana: ('Sigh') No, guys, seriously. I'm perfectly fine with you two dating. I mean, sure, I was completely skeptical and....a tad bit livid about the whole thing when I first found out, but eventually, I realize that I needed to put my biases and pettiness aside and give you two a chance. (Smiles Softly) And I'm glad I did. I can tell you guys are making each other happy. So long as you keep doing that, then I have no problem with you two being together.
Ryuji: (Almost at a Loss For Words Along with Haru) Wow.....(Smiles Back at Morgana) T-Thanks, man. Really. And look, I know we don't always get along or see eye to eye and all that junk, but....it actually really means a lot that you approve of all of this. I promise to keep your ma safe and happy no matter what, count on it.
Morgana: Already am. You are a pretty cool guy after all.
Ryuji: (Forms a Cocky Smirk on his Face) Ahhh so you think I'm coolest now?~ I'm actually quite honored there, squirt.
Morgana: (Chuckles Lightly) I said "cool", not "coolest'. You're not even on my Top 5! But I do think you're pretty great. I'm sorry it took me so long to see that, among other things.....
Ryuji: (Gently Ruffles the Top of Mona's Human Hair) Nah, don't worry about all of that, kid. What happened in the past should stay where it's at. Present and Future has a lot to look forward to, don'tcha think?
Morgana: (Happily Nodded in Agreement) You know it.
'Sniff' Sniff'
The boys turns to see Haru is already in tears, crying.
Morgana: (Eyes Widened in Complete Worry Along with Ryuji) Oh no, mom!
Ryuji: Babe, what's wrong!? Talk to us!
Haru: I'm okay, I just.....('Sniff') I....('Sniff') I'M JUST SO HAPPY THAT MY TWO FAVORITE BOYS ARE FINALLY GETTING ALOOOOOOOONG!~ (Pulls Morgana and Ryuji Together into a Emotional Group Hug)
............................................................................................
Peach: (Happily Shakes her Pauline's Hand) I can't thank you enough for us inviting us here, Mayor.
Pauline: (Smiles Softly) The pleasure is all mines, your majesty. And please, you're more than welcome to just call me Pauline.
Peach: Only if you call me Peach or Peachy for now on? (Winks at the Mayor)
Pauline: (Giggles Softly) Of course~ Honestly thought, I am so happy we finally got the chance to meet this time around. Mario has been telling me so much about you since the first time we've seen each other for so long and I can't helped but to be inspired.
Peach: (Eyes Widened a Bit in Genuine Surprise) Wait. You admired me?
Pauline: (Happily Nodded) Yes, quite a lot actually. You're very kind, hardworking, and you're willing to do everything you can to protect and provide for those you considered a friend, family even. All of those traits and more has greatly inspired me in doing better to watch over the very city I've grew up in. It makes me happy to know that Mario found an amazing woman like you to love and cherish.
Peach: (Places her Hands on Both her Cheeks While Smiling Bashfully at the Thought of her Hand) I knooooow!~ Words cannot describe how madly I love and cherish my darling teddy bear too!~
Pauline: (Snickers a Bit) That's what you call him, your Teddy Bear?~
Peach: (Happily Nodded) Mmhmm!~ Cause he's just as cute and cuddly as the real deal~
Pauline: I can believe that. He is pretty cute for a short man.
Peach: The Cutest~ I just wish he would stop denying it and just accept the truth already......
Pauline: Yeah, he can be a stubborn one alright, but I'm sure he'll come around eventually.
Peach: ('Sigh') Perhaps. Until that time comes, I'm gonna keep teasing and smothering him for it. (Smiles Brightly While Sticking her Tongue Out to the Side).
Pauline starts giggling some more until her assistant walks by and speaks with her.
Assistant: Excuse me, Mayor, you're about to be on at five.
Pauline: (Eyes Widened a Bit) Already?
Assistant nodded before walking off.
Pauline: ('Sigh') Better get ready then....(Turns to Peach) Sorry to cut our conversation short, Peach, but show biz calls. Maybe we could have it resume after the performance is all over?
Peach: (Happily Nodded) Of course. Only if you join the Certified Moms going forward. We would love to have a wonderful Mayor like you be a part of our rag tag team mother figures.
Pauline: (Smiles Brightly) I'd love that. Thank you. (Waves Goodbye to Peach Before Walking Off) Wish me luck!~
Peach: (Waves Back) Will do, dear!~ (Turns to Her Fellow Moms Beside Her) Guess which Mayor is gonna be joining in the squad next year?~
The ladies (And Lea) begins to cheer in rejoice along with Peach of their newest member.
.......................................................................................
The entire crowd begins to cheer and applause as they see the Maypr of New Donk City walking up on the stage waving at everyone watching her.
Pauline: Thank you, thank you. It brings me so much to joy to be up here on this fine Christmas Morning.
Some Guy in the Audience: SING ONE-UP GIRL!!!
Pauline: (Puts on a Deadpinned Look on her Face) No. (Smiles Again) Instead, I would like to perform something a lot different this morning. I know this first song is little bit overplayed to some, but it's always been my favorite growing up and with the help of my two co-performers, we hope our performance could be more than enough to lift up the Holiday Spirit going forward, so please enjoy.
Crowd: (Cheers in Rejoice)
'Toy Xylophone Starts Playing'
Pauline: (Starts Singing on the Microphone) IIIIII~Don't want a lot for Christmas~
Dark Pit: (In the Audience Rolling his Eyes) Oh great. Of course they have to start on this song.....
Misako: (Shrugs) It is a cult classic.
Pauline: They're is just one thing I neeeeed!~
Pit: (Joins in on the Stage Along with Sora) I don't care about the presents!~
Sora: Underneath the Christmas Tree!~
Dark Pit: (Eyes Widened in Complete Disbelief as He Got Up Ftom his Seat) Ah hell no! Those two idiots are involved in this shit too!?
Misako: Huh. It looks like it.
Kyoko: (Eyes Widened in Genuine Surprise) They get to perform on stage with the Mayor? (Starts Pouting a Little) Lucky......
Pauline: Make my wish coooome truuuuuuuuue!~
Crowd: (Starts Cheer and Whistling)
Pauline: Alllll I want!~ For Christmaaaaaas~ Issssss~ Yooooooou!~
As the piano starts playing, the bells start jingling, and the drums starts beating on cue, the trio on stage begins to sing and dance together.
Pauline/Pit/Sora: We don't want a lot for Christmas!~ There is just one thing we need!~
Dark Pit: (Takes a Deep Breath) Fuck it. (Clap his Hands Before Walking Off) That's my cue to leave.
Kyoko: (Watches her Boyfriend Walk Away Along with Misako) Pitto-Kiiiins!
Misako: ('Sigh') Where are you going?
Dark Pit: Back to our room! I rather stay asleep for the rest of the day than sit through all this shi-
Pitto suddenly bumps into something heavy enough to make fall and sit on the ground. He then looks up to see Omega, Futuba, and Yusuke, standing above him wearing black suits and sunglasses.
Dark Pit: (Gets Himself Back Up on his Feet) What got you three all dressed up for?
Futuba: We're here to serve as the performers' bodyguards for the time being.
Omega: (Points at Pitto) And YOU are not permitted to leave out this area until the performance has reach it's completion.
Dark Pit: Are you serious right now? I doubt a lot of people here would care if I miss one show.
Yusuke: On the contrary, Pit-San would be very displeased if he take notice that his own brother is not present in the audience. Hence why he assigned us to watch over you specifically.
Dark Pit: That little- (Takes Another Deep Breath Before Speaking) Okay. How many songs are they supposed to perform again?
Yusuke: Around five to six, with a few encores sprinkled here and there if feel generous enough to do so.
Dark Pit: ('Grons in Annoyance') Oh big surprise.....
Futuba: Just let 'em have this one, man. It's Christmas for pete sakes.
Dark Pit: (Sighs in Defeat Before Slowly Turning Himself Around) If you really insi- (Immediately Points at Something Afar) Hey look! Is that Santa over there!?
Futuba: (Eyes Widened as She Quickly Looks to Pitto's Direction Along with her two Partners) He's here!?
Omega: WHERE!?
Yusuke: Will he be willing to let me do a few paintings of him free of charge?
Futuba: Really Inari? On Christmas?
As the trio are too busy looking, Pitto sneakily and quickly makes his way to the lobby.
Dark Pit: That was a lot easier than I thought. Now, to get back to my room.... (Suddenly Feel Like He's Not Moving at All) Wait. Why am I not- (Eyes Begins to Widened as He Looks Down to See That He's Levitate in the Air in a Magical Gravitational Sphere) What the-
'Ahem'
Pitto turns to see Viridi, Riku, and Kairi looking up at him with the silver haired boy using his Keyblade's power to keep him still and the redhead girl happily waving at him in the process.
Dark Pit: Viridi? What are guys doing here?
Viridi: Bringing you back to your seat. Where you belong.
Dark Pit: ('Sigh') Oh come on, just let me go already! I mean, you guys hated this song as much as I do, right?
Riku: Not really no.
Kairi: (Shrugs) I've warmed up to it for some time now actually.
Viridi: Ain't a fan of it myself, but I hate seeing our boys sad more than anything. And I'll be damned if we gonna let that happen because you wanna be lazy jerk. Let's go.
And so, the dark angel begins to sit on the gravitation sphere and grumbles to himself as the trio turn him and themselves ti their seats to sit through the rest of the performance's runtime.
MERRY BERATED CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!

there used to be this programme on sbs years back where it looked at whether certain homeopathic/natural/cultural medicine had actual benefits or not and I'm sure that programme did really good things in terms of legitimising genuine alternative treatments that have helped many people but what I mostly remember it doing was making my grandmother go 'see you don't need to be on medicine' and then not even allowing me to do the alternative medicine either. which was great
#it was at that point where there was so much fear about the opioid crisis and people being on too much medication#and that was incredibly Worrying to me.#mostly because I was starting to develop chronic pain and was going through a lot of health problems#mostly to do with y'know not being given medicine when I should've been#like undiagnosed asthma absolutely fucking me over all the time. and not being allowed to get dxed because 'you'll grow out of it'#what I mention in the post body was especially around my insomnia and having dogshit lungs#so like. 'you can do that instead of being addicted to your melatonin'#which can I just say. that's not only a wild thing to say to someone knowing what melatonin IS#but she wasn't even using addiction correctly. she meant 'daily medication' was 'addiction'. which it is not#and like yeah I'm aware I have some issues around medication and what's considered 'normal' around needing it#that's what happens when you grow up around people who do take daily medications and have disabilities#but like. I was genuinely in need of more than what I was getting medically and that whole 'you don't need ANY medicine and if you do#it has to be one of those on the television' rhetoric really did not help that#and also in regards to that trend of programmes where they tried to reduce the amount of medications people were on#I think that came down to having actual issues that can't be fixed with simple lifestyle changes#especially exercise when exercising makes things worse#and being expected to just fucking Suffer. suffer through constant asthma attacks because your m*ther decided she deserved it more than you#actually happened! like christ alive get your own script#suffer through dangerously high heart rates because you're just unfit#suffer through constant chest infections because you're so stressed it's killing you and being treated like an inconvenience#suffer through crippling insomnia because your brain is wired to exist at a different time than you're expected to live at#oh yeah. nearly fucking die because 'you don't need a doctor'. the longer it's been the more convinced I am that I nearly did die#which is. so fucking cool man. dying from a mystery illness that you thought was swine flu because it felt like that but worse?

Not exactly BB question, but what do you think about Masaki's situation after Grand Fisher? She was an ehit quincy, to some kind of hollow-quincy hybrid-ish, lost most of her power by auswallen(is the spelling even right?) and then eaten by a hollow, and (maybe, probably) freed from the said hollow after Isshin slayed it. Than, since quincy doesnt have tolerance to hollow attack, she should have died, and we dont know what happen to a quincy when they survive the aushwallen, or if a soul can go to soul society if the hollow who ate it was slayed. Than again, for a manga dealing with soul reapers and afterlife, Bleach doesn't cover that much about those aspects after first arc.
On BB question, how does Karin and Yuzu react to their (second) first impression of cousin Kai? They met him before, but like Ichigo, they forgot about him because they meet him when they were so young. Theres just no way ther could remember him, right?
I have two opinions on that:
Option one: we're supposed to believe that as a Quincy, her soul was destroyed/dissolved when it was consumed by Grand Fisher. Since Hollow reiatsu is toxic to Quinces, it was completely destroyed. In essense, Masaki was deleted from existence.
Option two: Masaki's soul did still exist in the Grand Fisher the way all souls a Hollow consumes still exist in one fashion or another, and Isshin killing Grand Fisher released it back into the cycle of reincarnation. The individual 'Masaki Kurosaki' is gone forever, but her soul has been liberated and is free to be reborn.
Both function for the sake of the narrative. Someone once pointed out to me the tragedy of Ichigo's ability to travel to the afterlife, he can come and go as he pleases but he'll never be able to see his mother again.
BB time:
Yuzu and Karin know of Kaien, as Cousin Kai travelling over seas for work. (Ichigo hasn't banged the rock together yet. Other matters have taken up his attention, we're getting there.)
He left when they were about six months old because Aizen shenanigans. So while he couldn't be there in person, he did send along gifts for birthdays+other special occasions and postcards from travelling.
A scene I've written but haven't found a way to squeeze in yet is the sisters happening upon Kaien in the City while shopping for the house.
At first they presume, by which I mean Yuzu bawls her eyes out, Ichigo dyed his hair, grew a mullet, got into a gang fight (the scar) and went full delinquent with the tattoo, until -"You're not Ichigo." Karin points out, trying to pry Yuzu off this strange lookalike and apologising for the trouble.
Kaien finds this all hysterical and reassures the sisters (by name) that it happens all the time. Karin is sus because 'how can you know our names' and accuses Kaien of being a stalker, Kaien grumbles about hurting his feeling. They talk a little, Kaien jokingly lists off the various presents he's sent them over the years, even describing the last postcard he sent that should've arrived any day.
Yuzu glomps him again, this time with a delighted squeal of 'Cousin Kai!'. Karin's less sus, apologises for calling him a stalker which Kaien just laughs off, saying he'd be disappointed if Karin wasn't cautious then remarks she reminds Kaien of his sister.
Kaien would take them home once their shopping's done. Maybe have a chit-chat with Isshin and Ichigo before deciding to make tracks, but Yuzu exploits his ultimate weakness to make him stay for dinner: Baby sister puppy dog eyes.
They'd have a nice family chat over dinner, the twins bombarding him with questions about his travels, Ichigo gets in on it too when he discovers Kaien's been to England (specifically a region were a certain bard that Ichigo may or may not be a fan off used to live). At one point Karin would probably ask about the tattoo and scar, and Kaien would spin a technically-true story about how he and his wife were in an accident, and its his way of honouring her.
And its all nice and wholesome before shit hits the fan.

Howdy there but if it's not too much to ask but what are your opinions on Nomen x mitsuki ? Like do you think they could work out because personally I think their ship is a burning dumpster fire 🙂🔥🚒🧯🧨🧑‍🚒
Like I think the reasons why is because of Nomens reason of liking her like it just seems so shallow and and it doesn't have any depth like at least xiaolong and vivi had actual concrete reasons to fall in love and catch feelings (even though their relationship isn't healthy ) but these two I just don't think so like I don't really believe he actually fell in love with her like he just says all these nice things about her and the reason he likes her but we don't know if their true or not because we don't actually get to see them and because of that it seems/feels like he's just projecting all these things/traits on her without actually getting to know her also Mitsuki for me just sucks as a character like most Lookism women TBH (ptj I'm looking at you right now ) like her reason for being a villainess is so lackluster and bland like we already had vivi and xiaolong at the last arc like she got obsessed over a man like it just felt so out of nowhere even though it's revealed in her backstory she hates men because of her father like it just seems so OCC and weird and it's kinda sending the message that the only thing women want are love and they'll become crazy and obsessed as long as they can get it
Anyways what are your thoughts and opinions because I'm dreading that ptj is actually going to try progress into something romantic like please just don't (she also drugged sinu and induced Stockholm syndrome on him like WTF is wrong with you and your yandere ass) like I just wish ptj could have wrote them better like ther were better ways he could have handled them
I know you put a lot of thought into this but I just don't think of them, like ever. I think they're hot as people and I like them when they aren't together. Everything about their entire development would've worked infinitely better if they weren't being written as "sympathetic" at the 11th hour. Both Ryuhei's attraction for Mitsuki and Mitsuki's attraction for Sinu wasn't convincing enough for me to care about them.
As said before, I don't care if Mitsuki is evil/does evil things because there wouldn't have been a plot otherwise, I just wish it was fully committed. They should've been written as genuinely immoral people instead of backing down at the last minute in an attempt to make them more lighthearted/approachable. I don't want Ryuhei to turn to the good side either, his characterization is already fickle as it is.

Trigger Warning: This post is going to be talking about "Sibling Abuse" and the things that go along with it. If this topic - or the topic of abuse in general - is upsetting for you please move on. If you decide to move on: Have a wonderful rest of your night! If you decide to stay, you've been warned.
What is Sibling Abuse? "Sibling Abuse refers to any form of harmful behavior or mistreatment that occurs between siblings within a family. It encompasses various types of abuse including physical, emotional, verbal, and sexual abuse. Sibling abuse can involve acts of aggression, violence, intimidation, manipulation, or control exerted by one sibling towards another. It may manifest as repetitive patterns of abusive behavior or isolated incidents of harm. Sibling abuse can have profound and lasting effects on the victim, impacting their emotional well-being, self-esteem, and overall development.
Yes, some types of behaviors exhibited by siblings that might fall under those categories are normal. Teasing, for example, is common and normal between the sibling dynamic, however it can also very quickly go from fun and light-hearted to something that is to be concerned about.
This includes things like playfully teasing each other about music taste, accomplishments, having funny nicknames for one another, and just in general having a back and forth banter that doesn't delve into truly harmful insults or nicknames.
It especially stops being light-hearted teasing when it becomes one sibling insulting another, using derogatory language, when one sibling is singled out over the other(s), when it starts including physical violence such as pushing or hair pulling. It also crosses a boundary when it starts being done in the eye of the public, even if the "public" is just other family members or friends, in a way that is meant to make the victim feel humiliated.
Physical fighting out of anger - or playful fighting morphing into physical fighting - as well is not considered a healthy or normal aspect of being siblings, especially if it is consistent.
☆★☆
My Story - 1
Now I wont get into every story today, this is already a fairly long post so I don't want to make it even longer, but I'll share a story I thought was completely normal until I looked into what Sibling Abuse was after hearing it during class one day.
I do want to make something clear though, something that should've made me realize this wasn't normal behavior sooner, but when you're in the situation you don't realize what exactly is wrong.
My sister was TWENTY years older than me. She was a grown woman by the time I came out of the womb basically, and obviously continued to be a grown woman as I grew up. She also was in the army and was a cop.
You might also have caught on to the "was" used to describe her that is normal in a couple places, but might stand out in another. My sister is dead. Has been for almost two years now. That is why I feel comfortable enough to be able to share what has happened to me as there is no risk of her coming across this and knowing it's me, even with a fairly anonymous account. She did have her ways, after all, though those are stories for another day.
Anyways. That background out of the way, here is story number one, though it is an amalgamation of events that happened between the ages of 9 and 13, something that stopped right as I hit puberty and just changed to something else.
The first time this happened was in private, I was sitting on my moms bed watching TV with her (my mom) and my sister and out of nowhere my sister smacked me across the chest, hard enough to knock the wind out of me, and make jabs towards the fact that I was flat chested. Obviously this was because I had yet to go through puberty so there was no estrogen being produced to promote breast growth. This is very normal. However, I didn't have this knowledge and figured something was "wrong" with me, however as a child with very, very, VERY, limited internet access there was no way for me to learn that this was normal for pre-pubescent girls.
My mom did not say anything about this, opting to just focus on her show instead of her nine year old daughter that had been hit across her chest by a twenty-nine year old woman who was vastly stronger than she was, and who was also subsequently gasping for air. I was called "dramatic" though.
This continued to happen whenever it was just me and my sister alone, though it would also sometimes happen during family gatherings or during my birthday parties in front of my friends while all the eyes were on me, such as when I was opening presents, or blowing out birthday candles.
One of these times was at my eleventh birthday party. I was running around playing with water balloons, as that's just apart of a summer birthday party when it comes to children, so my heart was already beating pretty fast and my breath already fairly short as, again, I was running around and having fun. My sister decided to join in on this fun and for a minute it was fine, and then she found me where I was hiding, trying to take a breather because my chest felt a bit funny, like it was racing extra fast compared to before, and this was new to me. She decided to smack me across the chest and make fun of me for being flat-chested. I felt my heart skip a beat.. and then another. It only skipped two and then raced a bit afterwards before becoming normal for me again. This was scary. I felt my face tingle and my left arm go numb a bit, and my pulse go crazy even after I was able to hold my hand over my heart and it felt normal.
She would always hit me with at least the same level of strength as the first time, just hard enough to knock the wind out of me and make my chest sore for a few hours but never really hard enough to leave a bruise.
Then, one day, we were in the Starbucks drive through. I was thirteen at this point and it was one of the last times she would do this as I would be hitting puberty in October of that same year as my 13th birthday.
Anyways, we were in the drive through and at the window where you pay / get your drinks. As the barista was handing over our drinks, making direct eye contact with me and smiling as she could see I was excited over my silly little Pink Drink, I suddenly doubled over in pain. I was hit in the chest, again, but this time with not as much accuracy as I was leaning forward, causing stomach pain as well as chest pain. Gasping for breath, as well as coughing and gagging. The barista didn't say anything, but then again what do you say when you witness that happening? She did look horrified though, and I'm sure that was the talk of the mid-shift for at least a few minutes after we drove off.
That time it wasn't paired with a "You're so flat", "Birdchest", or "What are you, a boy?" comment from my sister, probably because that would've been a step too far in front of the barista at the window.
Like I said, this sort of thing happened between the ages of nine and thirteen, only stopping after I hit puberty because I no longer was able to be called "bird chest" though it did eventually morph into making fun of me for still having a small chest. 34A gang, where you at?
I remember my mindset at the time - I would look at myself in the mirror before or after a shower, turned to the side and looking at myself in the mirror. Comparing my developmentally normal chest to the women around me, who had already gone through puberty, some even already having had children, and finding myself gross and weird for being so flat compared to them. Well... Yknow, no shit, I didn't look like them but how was I supposed to know that I was normal?
The kids in my class had gone through puberty sooner than I had, a lot of them quickly growing bigger chests, and eventually classmates joined in on the "birdchest" and "you look like a boy" comments my sister had been saying towards me, without them ever knowing she said that.
So for, what, four years? I had to deal with nearly-daily and sometimes multiple times a day, being smacked full force across my chest, hard enough to cause actual physical pain and shortness of breath, while being insulted for looking like a boy.
This took a toll on my health not only mentally and emotionally but physically. Not too long ago I got diagnosed with an heart arrythmia. This was something my doctor stressed as a concern in general, but even more so when I told her that the first time I noticed my heart being "weird" was back in that birthday party story I told, and it just became more common since that day, though I will say it has recently gotten better over the past few months. That being said, I didn't even know at the time, and only learned recently, that repeated, hard, impacts to the chest could cause a heart arrythmia.
I'm sure some of it is genetic, I do have heart issues that run in my family on both sides, however for it pop up this early on in life is extra concerning.
Again, I have a handle on it now, But I shouldn't have to have a handle on a heart condition at the age of 18 that, on average, happens in people in their sixties*.
I think this will be the end of story one. This is kind of a lot in general and something I should probably bring up with my therapist before the internet, but hey I told my boyfriend about (some of) this beforehand so it's fine, right?
Okay
Bye
I'll share more later - probably

Dragon Ball Legend Part 15
The Ginyu Force Touchdown!,
"They sure are taking a while. Krillin and Gohan should've been back by now." Ocarin said. She was pacing back and forth in the room and Nail, Dende and Necke and Guru watched her.
"Oh no. Do you think something happened?" Dende asked.
"I'm sure that they're fine." Necke tried to reassure her. Ocarin frowned before she sensed a couple of energies heading towards them. Nail, Guru, Dende and Necke sensed them as well.
"Wait, I sense them. They're coming closer now. But they're not alone. It's Vegeta." Ocarin said, recognizing their energy. "I'm going out there."
"Wait, there's Gohan!" Dende shouted. Outside the window, Ocarin saw him land near the hut from and heard him run inside.
"Gohan, up here!" Ocarin called out to him.
"Right!" Gohan flew up and he saw Ocarin, Nail, Dende and Necke and Guru. Gohan ran over to the Namekian elder, and Guru placed his hand on top of the Gohan's head.
"I can feel that you have truly amazing hidden powers, the strongest I've ever felt." Guru said as he started to tap into Gohan's power.
"Please, I have to hurry! It's Vegeta, he's right outside!" Gohan pleaded.
"Are his intentions pure?" Nail asked Guru. The Namekian elder looked at Gohan and nodded. Gohan smiled back at him.
"Hey, stop right there! I'm warning you!" Ocarin heard Krillin shouted from outside. Her eyes widen as she saw Vegeta land and Krillin behind him. She gasped. In Vegeta's hands was the Dragon ball, Guru gave Krillin. How did he get it?! She saw Nail had already headed towards the hole and jumped down, to stop him from entering.
"Leave now." Nail narrowed his eyes at Vegeta. Vegeta smirked as he looked at the Namekian warrior, seeing the similarities to Piccolo.
"I don't think so."
Guru finally managed to finish tapping into Gohan's power and removed his head off from the boy's head. Gohan gasped as he felt a new surge of energy releasing form his body that he had never felt before. Ocarin, Dende and Necke blinked in shock as well, surprised by how powerful it was.
Vegeta and Krillin and Nail sensed the new power as well. Vegeta's eyes widen as he snapped his head back to the large house. "That power there's only one person that could be." He gasped in shock. "So, you come to settle the score at last, have you? Here I am! Kakarot!"
"Wrong." Ocarin said, stepping out from the door, revealing herself. Gohan stepped out as well as he followed her and the two stood beside Nail, standing in front of Vegeta. The Saiyan prince blinked in shock as he saw the two.
"What?!" He exclaimed. "You two!? But your power levels-what is this place? What have you done!?" He demanded. Neither Ocarin or Gohan said a word to him before they saw Vegeta smirk and laughed.
"What's so funny?" Ocarin glared at him.
"What? Am I supposed to be scared now just because you got a power boost?" Vegeta said to her, chuckling.
"You should be." Ocarin replied.
"It changes nothing. You both are still nowhere near my level, so go ahead if you want to attack me!" Vegeta taunted Gohan and her. Ocarin stepped up.
"Okay, you asked for it-" But was stopped when Nail stood in front of her, facing Vegeta. "Nail?"
"Go ahead." Vegeta smirked at him.
Inside the hut, Dende and Necke gasped as they saw the Namekian elder began to cough violently. They quickly ran over to him looking up at him in worry when they noticed that he had a serious look. "What is it, Guru?" Dende asked.
"Elder Guru!" Necke shouted, worried as well.
"Dende, Necke, my children."
"What's wrong?" Dende asked him.
"You must go and warn the others." Guru told the two. Dende and Necke quickly nodded. "I can sense that there is an incredible power force coming towards our planet. You must go, quickly!"
"Hmm?" Ocarin frowned. She looked upwards towards the sky, searching.
"What is it, Ocarin?" Gohan asked her.
"I sense something." She spoke. Dende and Necke quickly ran out and stood close by the door to the hut.
"Listen to me! Guru just told me that there's a powerful force heading straight for us!" Dende shouted, urgently.
"Who's this Guru?" Vegeta questioned.
"Are you expecting any friends?" Ocarin asked him. Vegeta blinked at her in confusion.
"Hey, they're right! Something is coming!" Krillin shouted.
"Yeah, that power level is huge!" Gohan exclaimed, sensing it as well. 
"Wait, I know! It's Goku! I knew he'd be here to save us!" Krillin shouted, smiling.
"Kakarot!?" Vegeta shouted.
"It's not Goku. There's five of them." Ocarin said. Krillin's smile dropped a little as he looked at Ocarin, seeing the dead serious look in her eyes.
"Five?" Gohan asked. Vegeta's eyes widen and he gasped looking towards the sky. His body started to tremble.
"No, not them!"
"So, you do know them. Who are they!?" Ocarin demanded.
"Five of them. It has to be. Damn it all! Frieza has called in the Ginyu force!" Vegeta growled as he gritted his teeth while clenching his fist tightly.
"Ginyu Force? With a name like that, they sound kind of lame." Ocarin frowned. Vegeta rushed over, shoving Ocarin out of the way. She fell on the ground landing on her side roughly. Nail quickly got into a fighting stance as he kept his eyes on the Saiyan prince. Vegeta quickly grabbed Gohan by his collar, lifting him up.
"You! No more time for games! Give me that Dragon ball, right now!" Vegeta hissed. 
"Put him down." Ocarin said. She got up, giving Vegeta a dirty look as she glared at him, angrily, from being pushed down.
"I don't have it!" Gohan shouted.
"Tell me where it is! Tell me and I promise no harm will come to you or your friends!" Vegeta said, urgently.
"Like we're going to believe that coming from someone like you." Ocarin said. Vegeta shot her a glare, which didn't faze Ocarin who only glared back at him.
"Shut up! If I don't get my wish, then we're all dead! Do you hear me!?" Vegeta exclaimed.
"She's right! What do you think we are? Stupid? You put him down, right now, Vegeta!" Krillin shouted.
"Listen to me, don't be fools. These are no ordinary people Frieza called, it's the Ginyu force. Five men. Each as strong as I am, maybe even stronger! And in a few moments, they'll be here with new scouters. They'll find us and kill us all!" Vegeta shouted. Ocarin frowned at what he said, taking in the information. New scouters? That does sound like a problem. They would find Guru, Nail, Dende and Necke and all of them with it! Then the Dragon balls will be gone as well if anything happens to Guru! Ocarin sighed.
"This just keeps getting better and better." She thought to herself, growing more concerned by the new coming threat.
"I don't believe you!" Krillin argued.
"Do you feel that power!? None of us are strong enough to face that! We only have one chance. We have to use the Dragon balls to make me immortal!" Vegeta insisted.
"I feel what this Saiyan is saying maybe be true. This is an evil presence that approaches." Nail said. Gohan blinked, looking at him.
"Are you sure?" He asked. Nail slowly nodded.
"Then we use the wish on Gohan!" Krillin said.
"The boy doesn't have any fighting experiences. It has to be me!" Vegeta shouted back at him. Krillin turned to Ocarin, looking at her.
"Ocarin?" Ocarin's eyes widen, and she quickly shook her head.
"Don't look at me. I really don't think it's a good idea to make a wish for immortality. Remember Garlic Jr? I really don't want another one of him running around." Krillin gritted his teeth in frustration. They were out of options. He turned back to Vegeta shaking his head.
"I can't give you that wish! That would mean that our entire reason that we were here would be for nothing!" 
"But you would still have two more wishes." Nail added. Krillin, Gohan, Ocarin and Vegeta looked at him, surprised.
"What?" Ocarin gasped.
"Didn't you know? The Dragon balls will grant you three wishes." Nail replied.
"Three? Are you sure about that?" Ocarin asked him. Nail nodded.
"We're wasting time! The Ginyu force will be here any second! We have to use now before it's too late!" Vegeta shouted, grabbing Krillin by his gi. Krillin pushed Vegeta off of him.
"You're not giving the orders here, Vegeta!" and looked back at the Namekian warrior. "Nail, are you absolutely certain that we'll get three wishes?" Krillin asked him.
"Yes." Nail said. Krillin nodded then turned to Vegeta.
"Let's go. But if you try anything funny the deal's off, you got it?" He said and flew off as Vegeta started to follow behind him. "Follow me."
"Wait up!" Gohan called out and flew off as well, chasing after them. Ocarin turned to Nail, Dende and Necke.
"Well, things just got a little exciting." She told them. "I guess I'll see you three later. Bye." She waved and flew off to follow after the others.
Nail, Dende and Necke watched them until they were gone and walked back inside the hut, meeting with Guru.
"So then, are they gone?" Guru asked.
"Yes. But even if they do get the Dragon balls in time, I don't know of their chances." Nail told him.
"Can't you help them?" Dende asked Nail. Necke ran over to him.
"Ocarin and her friends are doing whatever they can to help us! She saved me. We have to help them!" He shouted, agreeing as well. 
"Dende and Necke are right. I think that you should join them in this battle." Nail looked up at Guru with a surprised look. Guru nodded. "It might help their chances at victory."
"But what about-" Nail frowned, looking at the Namekian elder with a concerned look. He did not want to leave his side, not when the Namekian elder was close in his final moments.
"Don't worry about me, my son. I don't plan on leaving this world just yet." Guru smiled, softly. Nail's eyes widen even more, almost about to cry, but didn't. He bowed to Guru.
"I-I will do as you wish."
Then Nail mind began to drift as thought about Ocarin. She was strange but also quite beautiful. He admired her bravery and strength. He was surprised that she could even speak in Namekian like they could. She was so nice. Now, her friends and her was putting herself in danger for all of them when she didn't even know them. He couldn't help but think of the way she stared at him. Her eyes were so soft and filled with love. She said that there was someone else who looked a lot like him. Who was he? Whoever he was, she must have really cared for them. He hoped that she will be able to get her wish to bring them back. Nail couldn't help but feel a little envious towards them. Why was this person so special to her?
"Nail? Is something wrong?" Nail's eyes widen when he heard Guru spoke to him, snapping out of his thoughts. "I-It's nothing."
"Are you thinking about the young Earth woman?" Guru asked him, making a small smile. Nail shook his head.
"It's nothing, really, master. I'm going to go."
As everyone flew, heading back towards Bulma at the new hideout. They sensed five energy levels growing closer and saw the spacecrafts within the distance, crashing down. "We're running out of time! The Ginyu forces have landed!" Vegeta shouted.
"There she is!" Krillin pointed out to a small crevice and landed down on the ground. Bulma was inside, sitting down on a chair. The Dragon ball was tied to her leg. Krillin ran up and grabbed the Dragon ball, pulling Bulma out of her seat as he quickly tried to untie the string.
"Hey, what's the big idea!?" Bulma demanded as she sat up, looking at Krillin, angrily.
"Sorry, no time to explain, Bulma. We've got bigger problems, right now!" He quickly told her and ran out, carrying the ball in his hands, meeting up with Vegeta.
"Quickly! Follow me to the others!" Vegeta shouted as he led Krillin and Ocarin to take them the other Dragon balls that he had secretly stashed. Bulma saw Gohan chasing after them as she ran out.
"Wait! Tell me what's going on!? Come back here!" Bulma exclaimed then blinked in confusion. "Wait a minute. Why was Vegeta with them?!"
