#I can't wait to see him wreck havoc

i just feel like being itoshi rin's bestfriend is a whole new experience.
there is something about being rin's closest person that brings you a feeling of warmth and pride altogether. knowing each other for years, you were aware that the mighty itoshi rin was selective when it came to people he wanted to spend time with. sure, he had many friends, he was a professional player after all- but even he can't help but admit that nobody could compare with you.
maybe it's because to him, you aren't really a friend at all.
you're much more.
and he definitely does not want to admit that. so he does not.
you, on the other hand, have a hard time trying to figure it all out. one part of you thought in a more simple way.
he's just closer with me because we've known each other for so long, that's all it is.
and then there's the other part of you that is greedy and aching and yearning to get some sort of sign that he's interested.
you're not expecting much. this is itoshi rin we're talking about. he just doesn't do any of that stuff. it's crazy that you're even thinking about the topic of dating when all these years you haven't heard a single word from him about having a simple crush on someone. but again, this is itoshi rin. he doesn't say the things he doesn't want to say. he doesn't show the feelings that he doesn't want to show.
you scolded yourself every year for not getting over your little crush on your bestfriend. unfortunately for you, it went on increasing until your heart was overflowing with care and adoration for a guy who seemed absolutely clueless about romance and the wildly trending best friends to lovers trope in almost every recent book or movie.
in your case, the best friends to lovers trope feels a little less sad because rin never really showed any interest in other people.
oh, little did you know. but you're still glad that the person writing your story didn't pour the cup full of jealousy into your life.
it's almost comical how stupid the both of you are.
a hopeless romantic and her hopelessly unaware bestfriend.
the stupidity goes for a few more months. sneaky glances, touches that feel like a spark, those short words of affection that rin manages when you're at the lowest and oh, the birthday.
the stupidity finally stops at rin's birthday.
ten minutes left to 12 AM. you were trying to drive as slowly and as patiently as you could to rin's apartment. arriving early would just ruin the surprise. you needed to get out of the car when there were just 8 minutes left, so that by the time you reached the high floor of the apartment complex it would leave you with 5 minutes to prepare yourself and the box of cake in your sweaty hands, waiting outside his door. then you would enter when there's just a minute left.
only rin deserved this type of difficult and serious planning.
you felt the pride for being able to think so much and felt extremely smart for calculating this plan accurately. however, the feelings were quick to drain out and be replaced by nervousness.
he wouldn't be mad, no. you just didn't want to make him feel awkward.
rin never really made a big deal about his birthdays. that never stopped him from letting his teammates and friends from blue lock enjoy the day, though. every year, he booked some place they could spend time, eat, drink, party, whatever. he didn't care much, just watched bachira and isagi wreck havoc. as long as he had you sitting next to him, laughing at his friends' antics, he was okay. he also liked seeing you happy. his chest bloomed with some unfamiliar feeling every time you said that you were happy because he was happy.
one minute left.
you quietly entered with the spare key rin had given you.
for emergencies.
somehow birthdays counted, right?
the lights were off, and you felt a little dumb. it would be really embarrassing if rin wasn't even home. maybe even more embarrassing if rin didn't expect you to come at all and told you to go back home or something.
from the living room, you could still see rays of faint warm light making its way into the hallways, escaping through the doorway of his bedroom. judging by the low sound effects, you guessed he was watching another movie or tv show.
one thing your dumbass forgot to plan. how the heck were you supposed to call him into the living room without scaring him?
fuck it, you thought.
"rin, im home, come out here please." you tried, trying your best to sound as less alerting as you could, hoping you didn't scare the guy. from the way the sound of the movie quickly stopped after your voice, you grimaced.
quick, heavy footsteps followed as itoshi rin entered his living room. his expression was a mix between a scowl and a frown- a face only he could make. you paused before you could even try to explain.
paired with the handsome, annoyed face was the absence of a shirt.
what were you going to say again?
well, it didn't matter. rin spoke before you could even adjust to the unfamiiar view.
"what the fuck."
"uh, look-" you managed.
"no, what the actual fuck."
you pursed your lips in an attempt to put your mind to work, to come up with something- anything. those teal eyes felt vibrant even in the darkness of the living room with just more of the golden light from his room passing through- because of the bedroom door now being opened all the way. you shifted from one foot to another. he continued to stare, his eyes slowly travelling down to the cake you were holding.
"happy birthday."
itoshi rin, your bestfriend, exhaled.
two strides and he was standing right in front of you, expression unreadable, and maybe you were hallucinating, because in the slight darkness you thought you saw him smile.
"y/n, you're insane." he breathed out, running a hand through his dark, disheveled hair. rin's face felt a little warm when he realized how he looked in this situation. this is by far the most out of pocket thing you've done, in his opinion.
for you though, this reaction was somewhat better than what you'd expected. you bit your lip to hold back a smile and set the box down on the neatly kept coffee table next to you. "i might be."
it was already three minutes past twelve. but you didn't care anymore.
while you carefully removed the cake out and placed it on the table, rin turned the lights on, still not recovered from your sudden appearance.
"shit," you realized when the brightness of the light hit your eyesight, "i forgot the fucking candles in the car. sorry."
now as unbelievable as it sounds, it was rin's turn to hold back a smile as he muttered quietly, "stupid."
it was even harder to focus on the cake without candles in front of you, when itoshi rin was sitting next to you on the couch, shirtless.
silence filled the room, and none of you made a move.
why would you do anything anyway? wasn't it rin's job to cut the cake?
apparently, you seemed more interesting than the cake, because rin was staring at you instead. you stuttered underneath his gaze. "what, you want me to sing the song for you?"
he huffed, attempting to fix his hair so he could stop thinking about your sleepy eyes. god damn it. he didn't know how to deal with this, with the erratic beating of his heart.
"thanks. for this."
itoshi rin was malfunctioning. and you were the cause for that.
to that, you managed a genuine smile. it was nice to hear.
"it's nothing. i did it because i care." you said quietly, fiddling with your fingers, eyes focused on the cake. you don't think you can handle looking at him. it might tempt you to pour out all your feelings. you could save them for another day, just not his birthday.
the mess of your hair kept together by a hairband, your heavy eyelids and the nervous fumbling of your fingers, rin knew you meant more. you wouldn't do so much for him despite being so tired if you just cared. there was only one option he had, to show you how thankful he was.
you're out of your short anxious trance when his bare, strong arms slowly but confidently pulled you into him.
the shock doesn't last for long and you find yourself melting in his embrace, face resting against his shoulder as your arms made their way to his back, to hold him tighter.
the cake must be satisfied with this outcome as well because it doesn't complain as you both stay in the same position for quite a few minutes.
rin felt your breath against his collarbone and sighed.
"stay the night. i can tell you're tired."
you don't deny it, but still whisper, "let's eat the cake first."
he finally let out a soft chuckle, feeling relieved that you couldn't see him as he mumbled something along the lines of "that's why i love you."
wait.
did he say love?

Justice League never helped Amity Park.
Why?
They genuinely didn't need any help, it was one of the most normal and safe town in America.
Other than Jack Fenton on the road hazard but it's not like he can break walls with his orange jeep, is it? It's too little to get JL on it.
Okay, so what does Phantom do right outside of the Watchtower drinking Capri sun? Is it related to how horrified Flash is, running around meeting room like he tries to wear down the floor?
Why yes, absolutely. You see dear traveler, Ghost child is just not from this timeline.
He is from the other one. The intense one. The one, where Amazonians were at war with Atlanteans, where there was no line Batman wouldn't cross, where doctors Fenton didn't stop their research after their dearest friend had accident.
Yeah, that's the one. One that Barry created by saving his mother and the one he allegedly destroyed.
How do they tell the stressed ghost child that timeline he lived in ceased to exist?
*~*~*
Maybe I'm not clear enough but yeah. Phantom is from other timeline but as I heard, Dan shoved time medalion into Danny's chest so now our boi has wonky relationship with time. When Barry erased "wrong timeline", Danny got yote into his time and was confused. Like, one day he wakes up in the middle of the nowhere because of some shit and isn't even surprised at first but then realises something is off. Especially when he gets to the nearest town. Things are all sorts of wrong, like:
There is less ambient ectoplasm in the air.
Meme references are just not right.
There is no supernatural war.
Nobody is trying to post mortem murder him for being a ghost.
There are a lot more heroes and the ones he knew are different, like, why is Batman suddenly so much against killing?
So he goes of to find Amity and see which one's of the ghosts bullshit he has to clean up this time, only to see his city... Normal? Happy even? No broken pavements or anti ghost tech? No teenage stans? No alive food? His parents are more of the local handymen than mad scientists?! There is SECOND HIM, who isn't a ghost in the slightest?!
WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED AND HOW DOES HE FIX IT?!
Because yeah, this world seems nicer than real one, but he just can't stay here. Ghosts are probably wrecking havoc in his Amity again and he needs to get back now.
Just question is how, because it starts to look like whole new world and not some weird hallucination or Desiree doing her shit again. However so much things is similar that he assumes it's different timeline. He dealt with these before, once, but he managed. He just needed to find this Clockwork guy that showed up last time and learn what he has to do to fix it.
Wait, his parents here didn't made portal and Vlad didn't either because they're actually kind of trisome (ew) and he didn't have enough time. That's alright, Danny was raised in the shadow of the portal, he knew everything about it by heart. He could built it on his own.
Wait, portal needs and sacrifice. Can he use this world's himself as a sacrifice? He could probably ask these heroes for help but on the other hand he really doesn't want to do this to him. Being Phantom majorly sucks ass and he is jealous but he knows better than to destroy other his life over it.
Before he can resolve his dilemma, something he does pings Justice League's radar and Flash is send to investigate. Thank ancients it's him because allegedly other heroes wouldn't really get it. But it was Flash who somehow gets at least part of it, gives him a food and takes him to the space station (in space!). Now they have meeting about him and he has best view of stars he could ever imagine. Even though they're a little different than he remembers from back home.
.
Hope you enjoyed this little idea and maybe can add to the shenanigans. Comments and reblogs are whole yours.
I hope I'm englishing correctly and won't see too many spelling or grammatical mistakes when I wake up in the morning
Have a great whatever part of day it is to you

Request: firstly, id like to request more yanderes of your choice, maybe the newer fandoms, with that prompt i suggested long ago, about darling distancing themselves to plan on how to confess to yanderes.

Darling distances themselves to plan on how to confess
Heiwajima Shizuo
Tumblr media
🚬 Somehow Shizuo can't bring himself to be surprised by this. He's scared a good couple of people away due to his temper and sheer physical strength, he's probably more surprised that you stayed as long with him as you did. Does that mean that he's any less hurt by your actions? Absolutely not, his poor heart is crushed. He's put so much effort into trying to better himself around you yet it appears to have been in vain. It's just unfair. Poor Tanaka has to deal with the aftermath of Shizuo's broken heart as the man's temper essentially becomes a brooding volcano waiting to explode at any moment and wreck havoc. Shizuo refuses to let anyone know about his feelings but his emotions are out of his own control as everyone can tell that something is wrong. He's vulnerable right now and doesn't know how to cope with it, prays to all gods that Izaya will let him be.
🚬 He nearly crushes his phone when he receives a message from you, asking him to meet you. The whole way to the place where you two are supposed to meet, he already feels like cracking multiple times but his delicate composure shatters finally when he sees you and you give him a shy smile as if nothing has happened. You know, he used to adore that smile but now it almost fills him with pain because how can you smile like that after the stunt you've just pulled? Everything he's stuffed down breaks out of him as he starts shouting at you, confused, hurt and angry all at the same time. You flinch a bit when he starts yelling but you manage to get him to listen to you and finally tell him why you've done what you've done. One might as well have deactivated Shizuo as his mind wents blank and he just looks down at you, frozen. Eventually his face twists into one of still slight anger yet also overwhelming giddiness, his cheeks turn pink as he's flustered and embarrassed at the same time. Ultimately he mutters that he has to go somewhere as this is too much for him at the moment so he sort of runs away. Give him a bit to calm down and then he'll be the happiest man ever.
Takumi Aldini
Tumblr media
🍝 He truly doesn't understand what has happened between the two of you as in his eyes, everything was going quite smoothly. He had finally gotten over his pride and bashfulness and had approached you and you two have grown quite close since then. So why are you avoiding him all of a sudden? Takumi tries to talk with you, wants to ask you what's wrong all of a sudden but you brush him off and always excuse yourself, barely able to look him into his eyes. This just serves to fuel a growing paranoia as he starts looking back on all interactions he's had with you, wondering if he's done something that unintentionally hurt you. He can't figure anything out though and the lack of knowledge drives him up the wall. Soon questions turn to desperate pleads and he relapses into old habits of stalking you. Takumi tries to keep it together but Isami catches him crying when he thinks that he's alone a couple of times.
🍝 Takumi's confidence is shaken and that even shows in his cooking skills so his twin brother and all of his friends try to help him. Eventually you inform Isami that you want him to retrieve Takumi for you since you have a surprise for him. Seldom has he run faster in his life, out of breath when he arrives. He's instantly drowning you with apologies for whatever he's done and pleads to just stop distancing yourself from him before you hush him and point to a plate in front of you and encourage him to lift the lid. He does so and a mouth-watering scent fills the air as an Italian dish is revealed and written on it, in tomate sauce, is a love confession. His brains stops for a moment, his eyes nearly pop out of his head and he looks absolutely flabbergasted. As his brain slowly processes what's going on, a blush starts spreading across his face. It starts from his ears until it covers his entire face. You finally reveal to him that you've practiced to cook Italian Cuisine to surprise him and hearing that you've put so much thought and care into this for him finally makes his heart burst. He probably starts crying a bit, hides his face behind his hands out of sheer embarrassment and happiness. Very much happiness.
Sohma Hatsuharu
Tumblr media
🐮 Hatsuharu is normally always nonchalant, although also quite shameless around you. Yet your sudden ignorance regarding him brings out his worst sides which is Black Haru as he grows aggressive and rude. Deep down Haru is just very hurt because he loves you and thought that you cherished him too yet your sudden absence in his life makes him feel lost and lonely, a feeling he despises and wants to go away. As White Haru he has tried to ask you what has happened but you've never given him an answer, triggering his other side. Worst for him though is that you only ignore him and still interact with others which is only another blow to his fragile heart at the moment. He expresses his hurt with sheer rudeness though. It's quite scary as he suddenly follows you around persistently, threatens your friends and even grabs people by the collar if they annoy him. He's even attempted to drag you somewhere where the two of you are all alone so he can just have you to himself and force an answer out of you.
🐮 He catches you one day clutching a letter to your chest, the hearts drawn on it immediately setting him off and before you can stop him, he yanks you closer to him and rips the letter out of your hands before running away. His heart is pounding against his chest with anger and fear. Is there someone else you like? He's tempted to just rip the letter apart but wants to know which bastard he has to beat up since you're only his so he rips the envelope open and starts reading it's contents. You find him a few moments later and realize with horror that he's reading your letter, deeply immersed. His eyes shoot up when you storm to him and a smirk forms on his lips. Before you can react, he grabs you by your hips and pulls you closer, his own lips smashing against yours. Your thoughts stop as for a short moment you're just in pure shock before your whole face heats up with embarrassment and you try to pull away, a fruitless effort as Haru doesn't allow you to break the kiss. When he finally pulls away, you're out of breath and feel like your head's about to explode, unfortunately the mischievous boy doesn't give you a break as he goes in for the next kiss. You owe him that for what you've put him through.
Leah Clearwater
Tumblr media
Leah is pure spit and bitterness, which in itself isn't anything new. It's so much worse now than it has ever been though because it's her imprint who has started avoiding her all of a sudden. It's just so unfair because Leah felt finally happy again after years of being heartbroken and sad over Sam. She physically can't stay away from you and your sudden avoidance of her drives her crazy and makes her immensely short-tempered and aggressive. It gets to the point where no one from the pack wants to deal with her antics anymore besides Seth who is at that point the only one able to approach her without her snapping at him. Honestly, Leah is pretty bad as she's relentless and unwilling to allow you to leave her. She scares your friends as she's insanely jealous that you still spend time with them but not with her and guilt-trips you.
It's a miracle that you stil pull through with your plan but love is blind after all. So you eventually invite her over to your house for dinner and she jumps greedily at the chance to just be alone with you after you've been avoiding her for so long. That doesn't mean that she's not angry at you though, she's still holding a grudge and so her words are sharp and snarky. A part of her is even a bit sceptical to why you've invited her over all of a sudden but her possessive feelings wouldn't allow her anything else than meeting you. Dinner with her is awkward for a while as you feel her hard gaze on you, at least until you decide to confess to her. Surprise flies over her face before she narrows her eyes and observes you, unwilling to fully believe you just yet even if she really wants to. When she sees nothing but sincerity in your eyes, she feels a fuzzy feeling buzzing inside her chest and head and lets out a small scoff, doing her best to play it coo, although there is a small smile on her facel. She's still a bit mad at you for avoiding her but she'll probably forgive you if you promise to make up for the time where you avoided her and spend from now on much time with her.
Hijikata Toshiro
Tumblr media
🚬 Toshiro officially goes crazy and Okita's comments that he's more surprised that you managed to handle the Vice-Captain as long as you did and that it was bound to happen. Normally Hijikata can ignore Okita's words but this is the first time his words get stuck in his brain as he can't help but consider if he's right. Have you had enough of him? Why? Surely not because of his excessive controlling streak and his overprotective antics. He just wants you to be safe after all, he has only the best intentions. This officer is stubborn and unwilling to slip up during his job and show any weakness but he fails miserably. He's brodding all the time, the slightest things can set him off and he shows higher aggression against anyone who breaks the law as his emotions are a mess. Any attempts to talk to you normally have failed and by now he's that close to breaking your door down, dragging you out and forcing you through an interrogation.
🚬 He snaps when he manages to catch one of your close acquaintances and asks threatens them about what has been going on with you. They stutter out that they suspect that you're in love with someone and plan to confess, words he shortly mulls over in his head before he storms to your house, suddenly having troubles to breathe. That shouldn't be possible, he's sure that he's familiar with every person in your life thanks to his "diligence". He nearly breaks your door down but you open it just in time to see a frenzied Toshiro in front of you, out of breath and slightly twitching as he instantly pushes you inside and asks you with a harsh and slightly betrayed voice if you're in love with someone. Your eyes widen an suddenly he's interrogating you who it is, his mind racing with ideas how to successfully threaten them. Unable to take this anymore, you yell at him with tears in your eyes that he's the person you wanted to confess to. Within seconds his face changes colors from red, to green to a sick-looking grey. Shit, he's messed up. He stumbles out of your house, muttering an apology for the inconvenience before leaving. He comes back the next day with the biggest bouquet of flowers he could find, ready to beg for forgiveness for making the wrong assumption.
Seras Victoria
Tumblr media
🩸 Seras has always been a bit odd, brave yet timid, smart yet childish. She's a vampire who has her fair share of battle experience and fights yet this woman is more than often a flustered mess when she's with you. Alucard obviously knows about her massive, and partially unhealthy, crush she has but he isn't discouraging her. However, when you spontanously decide to cut off contact between the two of you, Seras is shocked and shaken as she can't even begin to imagine what has happened. Sure, she is a Draculina but you knew that and it never bothered you before. The poor woman falls into a hole and is often just sitting somewhere all by herself, wallowing in self-pity. She can't even begin to describe how hurt she is and whilst she is scared of approaching you and asking you what has happened, she still ends up stalking you as she stays true to her protective instincts. She doesn't want to lose any more people important to her.
🩸 Eventually you send a letter addressed to her, one she rips more eagerly than anticipated out of Integra's hands when she hands her the envelope. A strange mix of hope and nervousness wells up when it says that you want to meet her in the evening but she appears nevertheless, doing her best to hide her nagging fear. She's constantly looking at her as you begin to chat with her casually, gauging your reaction. She feels like she's on fire, unsure what your big purpose is for inviting her over and eventually you notice that and decide to end her silent torment. Out of your bag you pull out carefully a single red rose adorned with a bow and give it to her, admitting to her your feelings and your reasons for having avoided her for a while now. Seras stares at you, stares at the red rose, blinks a couple of times and then starts going slightly pink, all bashful all of a sudden. She's so relieved and most of all, happy though that you avoided her because you wanted to work on your confession to her. Giddiness starts flodding her body until she can't stop herself anymore and nearly crushs you in a tight and clingy hug. Congratulations, you've earned yourself a clingy and strong vampire girlfriend.
Gokudera Hayato
Tumblr media
🧨Hayato is just such a loyal simp, it's rather cute. If one ignores his aggressive and jealous attitude because oh boy, he can definitely be very obnoxious. He tries to prove a point here though, one can never start showing to his crush that he'd be the best choice. So a long story in short, he does not take well to the fact that his darling suddenly doesn't spend any time with him anymore and straightup avoids him. Initially he thinks it's the fault of someone around you but after a good amount of stalking you and threatening your acquaintances without finding anything suspicious he suddenly starts considering that the problem may be with him. Has he done something that angered or upset you? Have you figured out his obsession? Have you grown tired of him, like Hibari told him once due to his annoying behavior? Gokudera immediately starts overthinking, quickly starts doubting himself and questions everything he's ever done.
🧨Now he's all on you, trying to ask you frantically if he's done something wrong but your shallow reassurances only fuel his paranoia as he's by now convinced that it's his fault. He becomes unbearable to be around to the point where even Tsuna and Yamamoto have troubles calming his flaring temper down. All gets resolved when one day he receives a message from you where you apologize for having treated him so coldly and that Tsuna has informed you out of concern for Hayato. At the bottom of your message is a sentence that Hayato can't help but read over and over again as if the words don't want to enter his head initially. Then his expression transforms from confused to dumbfounded to thrilled until his cheeks are glowing in a pretty pink. His legs begin moving on their own as he starts dashing outside, to your house. He's tripping over his own thoughts, far too flustered and excited to think straight. He runs past a flower shop, jogs back, buys a bouquet and finally reaches your home, ringing one too many times. You've been hoping for him to visit you after you confessed per message and open the door to be greeted by a out of breath but clearly thrilled Hayato.
Usui Takumi
Tumblr media
💚 Now, this here is a man who has made it a hobby to monopolize his darling's time as he's very possessive and easily jealous when seeing them being close to someone else. Honestly, he's acting almost normal when you initially start to avoid him, even if it is unusual considering that you two have been close up until now. He's going to stalk you anyways and for a while Takumi makes it sort of a game to see how long you can ignore him and avoid him until you give up. When he realizes that you're serious though about sort of taking a break from him, this becomes a problem though because you surely can't expect him to just accept that peacefully. He suspects that you're keeping something from him and that is something he can not accept. He doesn't like it when you keep secrets from him. Takumi becomes an utter nuisance as he tries to coax your friends into telling him your secret and follows you around, insisting on you to admit to him what's going on.
💚 It's quite difficult to plan your confession with him quite literally breathing down your neck at times, miraculously you still manage to do so. By now Takumi has become a bit impatient which is a bit of a dangerous game as he starts pulling you aside to drag you to places where no one can see you, traps you between walls and his bodies and towers over you as he questions you why you're avoiding him and what it is that you try to keep a secret from him. Only that this time when he slams you against the wall, you can actually give him an answer. His green-eyed gaze on you is intense as you nervously fumble out the poem you made for him out of your bag and hand it to him, flustered and shy. His eyes go back and forth between reading your letter and making sure that you don't try to run, until he realizes what the poem is about and his eyes hastily fly over every word. Just like that the slightly intimidating demeanor about him is gone and his green eyes shine brighter as he pinches your cheeks slightly, scolding you for making him worry over you like this before leaning down to give you a kiss, a smug grin still present on his face. You poor thing, he's going to tease and embarrass the living daylight out of you.

*~Christmas Evel w/ Stray Kids ~*
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
*~ I know it's July but a festive lazy day in with the boys is what was asked of me and I shall deliver. There are no rules here. It's Christmas when we want it to be. Time to get all merry and bright, darlings ~*
Pairings: ot8!boyfriend!skz x chubby!fem!reader
Genre: fluff but make it holiday themed
Tumblr media
A lazy day with your boyfriends just before Christmas means...
Waking up to a house that smells like sweet molasses and warm spices because Felix is downstairs whipping up his family's gingerbread cookie recipe
Sleepily making your way to the kitchen where you find him leaning against the counter, pajamas still on, waiting for the last batch of cookies to come out of the oven
That freckled face lights up the moment he sees you. He pulls you close to him, arms delicately wrapped around your soft body, and plants kisses all over your beautifully chubby cheeks
Your brain's still fuzzy from just waking up so there's not much talking but that's okay. He's just happy to be here with you, holding you, hearing you giggle each time he lovingly nuzzles your neck
It means...
Decorating the gingerbread cookies with Seungmin and Innie while Felix takes a quick nap that way he has one less thing to worry about when he wakes up
The three of you make much more of a mess than you intend to. Innie keeps getting frosting everywhere and Seungmin gets frustrated when he can't get the little candy buttons to stick
You take their minds off of the cookie decorating disaster by turning it into a friendly competition of who can make the ugliest possible gingerbread man
A winner's never decided because you all end up feeding each other the completely wrecked cookies anyway. Not before giggling so hard over the situation that none of you can breathe
It means...
Finding Lino lounging on the couch in the living room with his cat Dori in his lap while Soonie and Doongie chase each other around, playing with all of the toys that he got them for Christmas
You cozy up beside him, resting your head on his shoulder, and pet Dori like the cute lil cinnamon roll he is until he gets up and starts wreaking havoc with his brothers
Lino kisses you on the forehead, intertwining his fingers with yours, and breathes in your scent. It's fresh and lightly floral without being too overpowering. He knows when you leave it'll linger behind and he'd have it no other way
Being on this plush couch with your boyfriend, watching the kitties burn themselves out is enough to make you doze off a bit again. For the few minutes that you do, he's careful not to disturb you. He just strokes your cheek while you nap, taking in how utterly adorable you are
It means...
Following the sound of music down into the basement where Chan, Han, and Binnie are working on a song even though they promised to take a break for the next few days. They just can't help themselves
Having you down here with them immediately takes them out of work mode though and they're unwinding in no time, gathering around to shower you with affection. And, honestly, to get as much of yours as they can
Binnie's super excited to play you guys his favorite Christmas song which turns into an hour or so of shuffling through Spotify, sharing your favorite songs with each other while you share stories from your childhoods
At some point, Chan mentions how secretive you are about your baby pictures from around the holidays and the guys have to see them. When you finally break down and show them they can't stop gushing over what a cutie pie you were/are
It means...
Having no clue where Hyunjin is only to find him bundled up in a blanket on the front porch reading a biography on one of his favorite artists
When he's this invested in something there's no getting him to move so, instead of trying to convince him to come in, you make hot cocoa for the both of you and grab an extra blanket for good measure
You sit on his lap wrapped up in a blanket burrito, sipping hot cocoa as he reads the book aloud to you. He may not say it but it gives him all sorts of butterflies that you want to share in the things he's passionate about
He notices that your nose is getting cold so he kisses it, blowing hot air against it to make you nice and toasty. You giggle when he does it and that only makes him want to keep you out here longer. Warming you up is too much fun
It means...
Ordering food from four different restaurants because no one wants to cook but it's impossible to get the guys to agree on what to eat
The nine of you taking dinner up to your room to spend the rest of the day watching those cheesy holiday movies that Lino and Hyunjin keep rolling their eyes at but secretly love
Everyone ends up in one big pile on your bed. You find yourself caught up in a sea of cuddles, a million conversations going on at once
Felix, Chan, and Binnie are having an elaborate debate about why Felix thinks it's a revelation that chicken has meat in it. Han's begging Lino to let him play with his hair and Lino's ready to bite him for it. Innie's dying laughing at the rom com cliches while Seungmin gives him the side eye. Hyunjin's got his face in his book again, curled up against your cushy body
As for you, well, darling, you're lying there with your eyes closed, basking in the love that surrounds you and kinda craving another one of those cookies

Not, like, to passar o pano to everything like a fool or to sound too delusional but like.................... the Federation coming up on the last moments to save the day makes sense.
Okay, hear me out.
The whole point of the Federation is to make the Islanders happy, to make sure they enjoy the Island and shut the fuck up about anything else that may be going one.
They have them the eggs. So that they could go around and play house and to make the Island feel like a home so that they didn't try to leave.
They made them fragile, so that they could be used as bait, as they could subtly keep people in line by making it clear that they could take the eggs away as easily as they gave them. I like to think the nightmares are actually real, but that the Federation just decided to act and restore the egg's life and make everything feel like a bad dream (Since we KNOW they can bring the kids back, as seen with Flippa, and also mess up with people's memories).
But even so the Islanders start to hate them. They hate the Federation and they rebel against them, they are neither enjoying the Island or playing nice like the Federation wants them to and that is not acceptable something has to be done.
They try, but they fucking fail every single time, in fact they basically make it worse.
And then the eggs run away and the Islanders go missing.
Of course the Federation will jump ship to save the kids the moment they discover where they may be.
What better way to make the Islanders happy? They were out of control when the kids are missing and blaming the Federation the one time they are actually innocent, the only way to fix it would be to push themselves into the savior role and bring them back
Present the kids with a smile and a subtle "Look at us. Look at us doing what you failed to. You tried to bring them back and you failed, you almost lost them, but we brought them back, we rescued and took care of them, we gave them a extra life, aren't we nice? Aren't we great?", putting themselves as the saviors, as the heroes, as more powerful than the Islanders, as able to take care of them better than they can take care of themselves. (Breaking serious analysis to say: Mother knows best vibes. Literally the Federation is fucking Gothel)
Everything is perfect now! The kids are back, there are new kids for them to love, the Island is as good as new again!
No one has to pay attention to those who are still missing. They are gone! Don't you see, we went to the Island and we didn't find them, they are gone (how fucking tragic that those missing are the loose lines, the worker who they know they can't trust, the experiments who knew too much, the infected islander, the man who couldn't keep himself out of their bussiness), what a tragedy. But focus on the children! They are so weak and fragile now, they need all your attention, you wouldn't want them to be sad would you?
And now this.
Now there is this entity wrecking havoc, putting the children at risk, destroying everything when things are still trying to be fixed.
And the Islanders can't do a fucking thing against him.
But the Federation can. They know they can. But they wait, they wait until the last seconds, they let them try, they let them plot, they let them die.
And when they are desperate, when they are begging for their help, when they have no other choice, that's the moment the Federation comes.
They come and they fix the issue easily.
The heroes, yet again, taking a away the danger, saving the children. Another message "You can't do this without us. You are weak, helpless, what would you do without us? Don't you see? You need us."
Of course the Federation will come and save the day over and over again, they want to make sure the Islanders feel they depend on them.

AHHHHHH SEASON THREE HAS FINALLY BEGUN!!!!!!!
The chapter was so great thank you!!! Nightly phone calls with Steve and he seriously thinks that there's even a chance bug's not into him? oh my sweet, sweet idiot. Staring at Steve's thighs is so real, I love how she didn't even deny it. Mrs. Waters 😭 I was curious if she was gonna lose her store too, she deserves better really. Will asking bug to come along to the movies was so sweet, I love him so much. I think he's a little bummed with the steve and bug thing. He's upset that everyone's dating, he doesn't feel left out exactly ,he just wants things to go back to normal. He wants to have old fashioned nerd fun and forget about everything but no one else wants too. I can tell how bittersweet it is for bug to watch those kids grow up, HER kids. This season is gonna be so emotionally taxing on her cause firstly, WHAT THE FUCK IS SHE SUPPOSED TO DO ABOUT RUSSIANS IN HAWKINS???, secondly, her kids are becoming teens, their last summer as kids gets ruined by more trauma, and finally she has to see her kids scared for their lives running from a monster that was supposed to be gone. Whenever El begins to lose her powers bug's there to tell her she needs a break. I can honestly see her crying in the Battle of star Court cause it hurts her to see the kids not only terrified, but exhausted. Especially El and will. It's like, " I'm crying because you're hurt and I wish I could take your hurt away, but I can't. I wish you didn't have to deal with this but you do." She loves them so deeply seeing them hurt makes her heart shatter. BUT angst aside Steve and bug firsts are on the horizon!! And I can't wait! Thank you again you're amazing!!!!👍😘😘😘
steve is such an idiot i cant WAIT for yall to see just how dumb he is this season 😭😭 his abandonment issues really pop out this time lmao.
and mrs waters :((( had to do something with her, it only felt right since she truly is someone bug adores
as for the kids <3333 bug loves them so much, and we’ll see more of it in season 3 and ESPECIALLY 4 !!!! with the russians and dustin now wrecking havoc on her ,,,, poor babes can never catch a break. between watching her children grow up and dealing with steves inability to ask her out and now russians ??? bless her
n thank u for reading !!! i love youuuuu

The thing about Naruto being Hokage and why the execution of such concept is so tricky is that every other Hokage was practically a genius.
I'm not saying Naruto is not smart (he tricked a goddess with a sexy jutsu, after al), or that every other Hokage was better than him 'cause they were book smart or whatever. What I'm saying is that every other Hokage was more versed on stuff like politics and negotiations, were a bit more crude or realistic or at least had more experience.
Naruto is not fool. He's not a little kid too busy dreaming to do something about the world. I don't mean to undermine his capacity of learning, nor deny that he could become a great Hokage.
The thing is —he needs training.
And yeah he's the strongest shinobi in the world and there's no one more qualify to protect the village (he proved that several times). But we're talking about governing. Not only paperwork, but what's behind the paperwork. We're talking about decisions like sending some kids to possibly die in crazy missions. We're talking about malicious and dark stuff. Choosing a side in a conflict between allies. Dealing with greedy no-shinobi politicians. Interfering with clan politics. Making people mad. Dealing with bad consequences of good actions.
You could argue that all the leaders of the world became besties after the last war and I could say that's one of the most bullshit decisions of the manga. This is a shonen, I know. But if you meant to have a continuation of some sort, I think you'd have to acknowledge that peace can't last. You don't even need an entire family of gods to reach that conclusion. You don't even need to mess with space and time. All you need is to wait for the tiny conflicts to accumulate. Evil shinobis wanting to wreck havoc, some misunderstandings, even just climate catastrophes or the consequences of a past you can't erase.
In the end, you can't be loyal to the entire world. And while Naruto did fight in a war, the nature of it was not the same as the other wars. There was no big common bad back then, just flawed people being flawed people.
When I say every other Hokage was a genius on their own ways, I mean this:
Hashirama was a founder of the hidden villages, a political solution to protect the shinobis, balance the entire world and further the progress of society.
Tobirama did almost everything in Konoha's system, including the Academy, and he is arguably the best Hokage when it comes to modernization, politics, jutsu creation and being realistic.
Tsunade changed the entire landscape of how wars were fought by introducing the importance of having a medic nin in every team (or close to it).
Minato proved to be not only the strongest but the smartest shinobi in Konoha, without kekkei genkai or any clan; he was second to Tobirama (in my opinion) in terms of Hokage intelligence in politics and such.
Hiruzen was the student of both the first and the second Hokages, and even when he made a lot of bullshit decisions (LIKE A LOT), he had the experience of having lived through almost every war and kept Konoha running after Tobirama died.
Kakashi has been making war decisions since his childhood. Bloody, ugly, dark decisions. A prodigy who became an anbu at childhood, with a mind capable of adapting on the run, capable of quickly analyzing any situation. Again, more versed in politics and such.
Naruto needs training. He needs instruction, he needs to study. He needs to mature further still. But when I read about the blank period, all I read is about him falling in love with Hinata, teaching the kids on the Academy, etc.
I personally want Naruto to be the best leader he could be, 'cause I grew up supporting his dream of becoming Hokage. I want to see him succeed! What I don't want is the implication that someone else has to do the job for him. I want Naruto to be able to discuss shinobi politics with Shikamaru, not because Naruto is a genius, but because he loves his village and he's willing to work hard for it. I want a Naruto that has his own thoughts about shinobi children, about orphans and families and civilians and clans. I want a Naruto that learns all he could about the origin of Konohagakure and tries to reach other Uzumakis and give them a home. Stuff like that.
Every other Hokage was practically a genius but competing with geniuses never stopped Naruto. He's stubborn and he loves with his entire heart and he doesn't give up. He mastered the rasengan in a couple of days. He won his match against Neji in the Chunnin Exams, defeated Pain and Nagato. He is not stupid or incompetent, okay? And that's what I want to see when I'm presented with the future of him being Hokage.

Can't believe we will never get to see Blackhands pull Billy Dunne and Daisy Jones.
Like, Ed and Stede having a really bad fight, maybe even Stede breaking up with Ed, and Ed, again, has a mental breakdown and goes to Izzy.
And he starts kissing him and at first Izzy is surprised, then he's happy, and then he's like wait what?
Izzy: What happened?
Ed: He left me. It doesn't matter, we can be together now. We can return to being Blackbeard, to sailing and wrecking havoc, like we used to.
And Izzy, who has been actually listening to what Ed was saying and feeling in the past few months says "It's not you, Eddie."
Ed: Yes, it is. We don't have to fight it anymore. You and me, we're broken. Let's just be broken together.
And Izzy thinks about his time with the crew, about this feeling of belonging to community, about the happiness he found.
And he says "I don't want to be broken."

my birthday is tomorrow. (feb 25) and i was just wondering what you think severen would do on his s/o’s birthday. i just adore that man
Happy Birthday Rebecka!! 😄🖤🖤🖤🖤
Tumblr media
Severen is a huge, crude, impish kid in a grown man's body. So expect him to be more excited for your birthday than you are! (He doesn't even celebrate his. Wouldn't shock me if he doesn't remember it.)
Be prepared for him being extra loving towards you as soon as you wake up. Being near you more, grinning ear to ear all night, not making any teasing smartass or insulting remarks like he usually does (He'll send a death glare to Homer or possibly even Jesse's way if they aren't at least somewhat nice on your special day)
You know he got you a surprise gift. Like I said, the man is more excited than you are and can't wait to see the look on your face when you see he either got something obscure you've always wanted that he found on one of his hunts or he got you cake (and some humans to wash it down with if you're turned)
He's so so lively and adventurous so no matter what he got you; you better beileve he's taking you out on the town to wreck havoc (You gotta specify if running from law enforcement after killing a few is not your idea of fun) he's down for whatever. You cannot tell me this man couldn't go bowling, skating (if he knows how), go see a movie or just a bar and not make it fun. If he's really bored, he'll try to hold it in for you tonight even if it's so obvious.
He's just loving in his own way yet competitive so making your birthday a day you'll never forget is just another bet or game to him with the added bonus of you being happy with what he did. So be prepared for a fun, rowdy and surprising birthday if Severen Van Sickle is involved
(And if ur a couple and not asexual then...Yeah. Birthday sex would be one of the first things on his mind im js 🤭😏)

AND THE STORY GOES ON....
[ Contain Spoiler for Ch.13 ]
Hello, fellow Chief. How are you faring after this chapter? As for myself, i'm quite satisfied with recent story. So much lore, meta, and others term which enrich our understanding of PTN world. 🥳
Tumblr media
WAY TO GO, DONALD!! 🫡 My man support The Chief all the way until the end. No fire, bullets, and reprimand from Matilda could stop him and his clownery to bring back his Bros.
...yeah, despite what happen to him, he is quite dependable in loyalty area. :') I thank AISNO for releasing a male sinner. The game is lack on that part haha...🤭
Tumblr media
CHIEF...!!! Oh god, i hope you got therapy + massage after what you experience 🥲 your shoulder must be quite heavy with all that burden and tensions... Paraidesos or whatever enemies out there will pay greatly for their conduct toward you 🤯
Nightingale must be furious if she heard what they did to you in 8 months.
But look!! your babies are grown. Hella and Hecate 🤧 Aaa ... I'm so proud of them, especially Hecate. She has found her own 'Voice'.
Tumblr media
AND THE LONG AWAITED ONE FINALLY RETURN! But hold on, Zoya, what happen to your face?? Is that remnants of Black Ring??
You are not become their test subject... right?? 😱😱 anyway, about that Rust Guy... is he also a BR's victim? Maybe another unlucky crew from Parma Group, secretly survived? 🤔
But this is a great development, so human who change into a corpseborn could survive? Hm... very interesting. I really hopes Julien could survive, but he is pretty stubborn to make sure Rustfire revival. And probably he would choose the same option again and again. ☹️ RIP Hero...
Zoya... have you seen Horo?? She is a true born leader 🥺🥹 You and Earl must be proud of her... also she increase in height, that Milk binge drinking finally reached its goal.
Tumblr media
And who are you guys? Why No.01 has Parma-like voice?? Are you secretly rejuvenating yourself with Mania?
Also GIVE US BACK SHALOM AND RAHU!! I don't accept that mysterious soldier and never EVER touch them with your hands 😡😡
Tumblr media
Hi from the other side, Elder Sister. Are you the one who wreck havoc to your little sister? 🤗 what a splendid flower you have, must be evil....
Am I to assume that AISNO are planning to create animation film? That would be great, ☺️☺️ Please do it, Aisno!!
So... this chapter are quite satisfying. I can't wait to see another chapter and meet other sinners. I'm also curious about that elderly woman and the Chief past.
I hope you guys enjoy the games too...😉

Could you write Arthur, Dr Strange, five, and some slashers of your choice reacting to meeting a new patient that can turn into a dinosaur? Like they can just randomly turn into an allosaurus and cause a whole bunch of chaos and like they can't communicate normally but theyre concious and know exactly what theyre doing.
(Here is how I imagined it. Your power only activates when you're angry or upset, like the Hulk, which means you don't control your powers. You transform into a dinosaur recurrently and even though St Louis tried to keep it a secret and keep you calm at all times, there are things they can't exactly control. A military organization found out and decided you would make quite the asset. The hospital had no choice but to agree. You were to be taken to another facility for military training, but the news made you angry and it triggered your power as you were about to get transferred.)
It was your big day. The nurses kept talking about it, saying that you would shortly be removed from the premises.
For some reason, it didn't settle right with any of the residents.
They had had the time to get used to you after the few days you had been here, and they also knew that you had grown accustomed to them.
But, they had no choice in the matter.
Besides, the head nurse had reassured them that it was only for a short while, the time you would get your powers under control..
They had allowed it. It was in your best interest after all..They didn't know that you would be trained to become a killing machine.
But, they should have known. Nothing is ever quite as it seems.
Tumblr media
Arthur *sees a wall crumble to the floor as you transformed* : "I think this is my cue to leave.." *runs away*
Arthur is not a hero. He will not try to find a solution or stick around to get crushed. He will probably try to escape and leave the rest of the slashers or hospital staff to deal with you.
Besides, the guy is still human and knows when it’s time to leave, he would probably skedaddle in a heartbeat.
I mean..A dinosaur ? Arthur has seen a lot of crazy things in his life, but that gets the cake.
He will not end his life in the stomach or under the foot of..whatever you are.
He would run. Clearly.
However, once he would find out that you are still you and conscious inside, he would then try to calm you down and turn your power into his advantage.
Joker *suddenly stops and while everyone is running out, comes back to you and makes sure to catch your attention**throws little stones in your direction* : "Hey, Y/N..Is that you, dear ? What's wrong ? Come on. You know you can tell me anything.."
You didn't answer, you kept staring at him and then moved your head forward.
Joker was about to run away again, but he fought against his flight instinct and stayed put.
You then moved your large snout just a few inches away from him and took a long inhale, as if to try to identify him.
Joker closed his eyes, ready to be snapped in two by your large teeth and couldn't but laugh at the thought..The great Joker, eaten alive by a dinosaur.
A death fit for a legend.
However, he didn't feel any pain and slowly opened them again.
He looked back at you and saw that you were waiting for something..
He then hesitantly pressed his open hand against your snout and you closed your eyes.
You felt safe around him..
He then understood that you only wanted to be reassured, to stay by his side, to stay with him..
He smiled and nodded understandingly.
"Fine..If you don't wanna go..How about we get out of here ? You and I ?"
He could feel your eagerness at the news and smiled before pointing at the wall you had destroyed, leaving a gap for you both to escape.
You understood and let him climb on your back.
You then escaped.
Once you were far enough, he would probably ask you to follow him to Gotham.
He would then send you wreck havoc in the city and watch Batman struggle fighting a giant dinosaur.
He would have the laugh of his life.
Arthur *claps loudly behind you* : "BRAVO ! BRAVO ! Again !"
Mad until the end.
Tumblr media
Five *hears a loud roar and turns around to find a dinosaur running towards him* : "I'm tired of this bullsh*t !" *teleports away*
Five would be shocked at the news that the dinosaur is you, but also kind of jaded.
He would go to the kitchen and serve himself a cocktail while the world around him turns to chaos.
He had to save the world a lot of times and wouldn’t mind letting someone else take care of it for a while.
This is why he would also call any other superhero to do the job.
He has suffered enough, and would seat back while watching The Justice League or the Avengers try to solve the problem.
But, he would still make sure you are treated right and to explain the situation to whoever he called to help.
He would also comment on all of the successes and failures like a TV commentator.
Five *winces when he sees Batman flying through the air and crash on a car* : "Oof. Nice kick, Y/N. That must hurt." *takes a long sip of his drink*
Once the chaos over and you turned back to your human self, he would then teleport to grab you and take you to safety before any of the heroes may lock you in a cell.
He may leave the hard work for others, but he wouldn’t abandon you.
Five *smiles reassuringly at you while you are both hiding* : "I'll find a way to make you stay. I promise."
Tumblr media
Stephen *shakes his head in disbelief and pained resignation* : "Why can’t I have one moment of peace ? Am I asking too much ? I had to face Wanda, and now I have to deal with this ? COME ON, UNIVERSE ! GIVE ME A BREAK !"
Stephen would first try to find out who/what you are.
He would also make sure you’re not an actual dinosaur that he would have to send back to another time/dimension.
He would forget it after finding out that you’re also human and get some information on you and how to turn you back into normal.
However, his main concern would be the civilians around the hospital, freaking out because a dinosaur appeared in the middle of the street.
Stephen is a hero and would probably try to see if he can reason with you and get you back into your human form, or at least get you away from the people.
He would then either arrest you it there are human casualties, or try to find a way for this to never happen again if there are none.
He would have a talk with the hospital staff and head of administration, as well as the people that were supposed to "take you".
Stephen *to the hospital’s head of staff and the military organization* : "WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY “UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES” ?! I don’t want excuses, I want insurance that this will never happen again !"
He will then wait until you wake up before trying to understand what made you so upset in the first place and find a way to help you.
Stephen *smiles* : "You want to stay ? Fine. I'll find a way to let you stay with your friends, but no more dinosaur tantrum, deal ?"
Tumblr media
"YESYESYESYESYES ! BIG Y/N ! YOU'RE HERE !"
If you thought Penny wouldn't figure it out instantly, you are gravely mistaken.
Penny can read minds and would make his prime objective to see you turn into a dinosaur.
He would smell your fear to hurt people the moment you would step in the hospital and use that to make you lose your cool.
Penny would be excited and clap his hands together when seeing you transform for the first time.
He would have another friend to cause chaos and destruction with and would even transform into another dinosaur to terrorize the staff and other patients.
He would be 100% thrilled and even come to prefer your dinosaur self. 😂
He would play with you or spar and love the fact that you can actually fight back.
He doesn't have a lot of people he can compete with, as none of his slashers have his shape-shifting abilities and would be crushed under his foot in a matter of seconds.
He tried to spar with Pennywise, but he isn't much of a good sport..
This is why he would take the opportunity to test his own abilities with you as a fighting partner.
Penny *giggles in amusement as you bite his ankle and whip his cheek with your tail* : "DINOSAUR ! FUN !"
However, he would wait until he is sure you can handle it before using his full power against you.
In that case, the whole hospital and its residents would have to be evacuated.
Penny *smiles largely before flashing his glowing yellow eyes at you* : "Let's play some more...Y/N."
The end of this fight could end in very different ways.
But, it would make one thing clear.
You wouldn't have to be moved anywhere, Penny wouldn't allow it.
You're his friend now, and whoever tries to make you leave ? They'll have to face Penny first..
Tumblr media
Pennywise was rocking back and forth in his usual spot—behind the hospital and near Freddy's garden—when he felt it.
He didn't know what was going on at first, he just heard loud screams inside and felt the ground shake.
He fell to the ground and growled in annoyance at whoever had dared interrupt his moment of peace.
But was taken aback when he saw a dinosaur crashing through a window of the hospital and letting out a loud angry roar before chewing on an agent that was shooting at it.
He stayed stunned for a few seconds, as he had never seen a dinosaur before, except on TV or in children's comic books.
However, it didn't take him long to figure it out as he took a long inhale and recognized your scent.
"Wait a minute...Y/N ?! Is that you ?!"
You stilled at the name and while everyone was running for their life, you turned your head towards him.
You stared at each other for a moment before Pennywise stood up and dusted his suit theatrically before pointing his finger at you and bursting out laughing.
"YOU'RE A BLOODY DINOSAUR ?! THAT'S HILARIOUS !"
Pennywise found the situation funny. He never thought he would actually meet a dinosaur, as they had disappeared a long time before either Penny or Pennywise were created.
However, he could see you were afraid and sighed before entering the hospital that was now empty.
He then did something unexpected.
He patted your leg.
Pennywise doesn't like touching or being touched, so for him to do this, he had to actually be worried for you.
He then let out a small tch and looked up at you with the closest to a genuine smile you had ever seen from him.
"Don't worry, kid..You're going to be okay. I promise. No one is gonna take you away. Not while I'm here to stop them.."
He waited until you were back to your human form and when the agents tried to take you, let's say, Pennywise held his promise.
He transformed into a gigantic spider and didn't hesitate before giving them them the biggest scare of their lives.
Tumblr media
Even though Freddy isn't the type to care, he still thought he would come see you before your transfer..
You had been a last minute addition to the gang and yet here you were, packing your things already..
He still had the time to get attached though..
It was probably the reason he was knocking at your door in the middle of the night.
"You're in there, pal' ?"
At the lack of answer, Freddy decided to check on you and opened the door to peek inside.
The moment he took a look inside, he noticed how the place seemed wrecked and immediately worried something had happened to you.
"Hey, Y/N ! Are you there ?"
He entered and then, he saw you.
You were on your bed, sweating a lot and shivering at the same time..He didn't know what was happening, but then, his brain came up with the only plausible explanation.
He just stared at you for a moment before asking.
"Oh...That time of the month, huh ?", he joked.
He was answered by a loud annoyed groan and when you looked at him, your skin was greenish and your eyes were tinted red.
He understood something was definitely wrong when you roared at him and the force of it was such that it made him back away a couple of steps.
"ALRIGHT ! ALRIGHT ! I'm going ! Jeez..You really are grumpy."
But, when he tried to go, you growled and grabbed the back of his shirt with your teeth to keep him from going.
Freddy didn't understand, until he realized you wanted him to stay..But, why ?
He was about to ask when you roared again, but in pain this time as your whole body seemed to stretch and double in volume.
Freddy looked around for anything to help before running out of the room.
"I'll go search for help !"
But, before he could take a step outside, he was tackled to the ground from behind.
It wasn't really painful to him, but it did surprise him as he tried to wiggle his way out.
"HEY ! MOVE ! I'M TRYING TO GO GET YOU SOME HELP ! DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME, DINO-ZILLA ?! MOVE !"
You only huffed negatively and Freddy had no choice but to stay. He couldn't use his claws against you and decided to use his ultimate move..
"Sorry..But, you leave me no choice !"
He made you fall asleep and tried to talk to your sleeping-self instead, to understand why you were so upset.
When he found out where you were actually going and why you were so scared ? He felt very angry..
He made sure all of the staff members and patients in the hospital felt his wrath as they all suddenly woke up screaming.
You and Freddy woke up and then, when you were sure he wasn't going to run, you released him.
Freddy didn't move for a moment, but when he did, he slowly stood up and raised his gloved hand to look at it.
He had sworn to never use it again..But, one time couldn't hurt, right ?
He then looked at you and smirked.
"They want to take you away and see how far a freak can go ? They'll be served..You're not going anywhere, sweetheart. I'll make sure of that..."
Tumblr media
Michael was surprised at the news of your transfer and wondered if you would be okay on your own.
He didn't know about your power, he just knew that whenever you would become frustrated or upset, nurses would bring you to another room and try to calm you down.
He had caught glimpses of your skin turning green, but never thought much about it.
However, as the unintentional entitled "father of the slashers", he still was worried about you being away from the hospital.
He could feel your growing anxiety and even though he would have preferred you to stay here, he knew it was in your best interest.
He witnessed your power a few hours before your transfer and as he had never confronted someone like you before, he didn't know what to do.
He then remembered that your power usually appeared when you were extremely angry or upset.
The sole thought of you being so distraught filled him with something akin to anger, but not quite..
Michael saw you run towards him, your impressive mouth wide open to chop down on whoever would get in your path.
He let Myers take over.
Myers wasn't afraid and stood his ground, only opening his arms wide.
At the sight, you suddenly stopped and Michael wrapped his arms around your big head, whispering reassurances.
Myers : "Ssh..Everything will be fine. No need to be afraid. We will not let anyone hurt you..Never."
At his reassuring words, your gigantic form slowly retreated to a normal size and your limbs came back to their usual form.
Your gripped Myers' jacket tightly and cried in his arms.
"I..I don't want to go.."
You confessed and Myers nodded understandingly.
Myers : "You won't..I'll stop them."
They thought they could take one of Michael/Myers' children ?
Great mistake.
Michael may be a good person, but he would never allow anyone to threaten his family.
And Myers ?
He would kill for his family.
No one would take you away, no matter how many they were or how well-trained they were..They wouldn't get passed Myers.
Happy End :
A few days later after the incident, the mysterious men were back, ready to take you and they were heavily armed with highly-advanced weapons this time.
"We have the direct order from the president of the United States to take the patient 089 into custody ! Anyone who will stand in our way will be obliterated to pieces !"
The slashers came out one after the other and you could feel the tension in the air. The slashers all stared at the men and Penny couldn't help but giggle.
"You humans are so cute with your little toys ! Thinking it could hurt us. How foolish.."
Pennywise nodded in agreement and you knew the clowns were eager to attack. They were already drooling. The hospital still had them in shackles and electric collars, but they could withstand the pain.
The slashers would handle it for as long a they could.
A heavy silence settled between the two sides, and you knew it would soon end up in a bloodbath if you couldn't stop them.
You were about to intervene, when Five ran out of the hospital and raised his hands to stop either side from attacking.
"STOP !"
They didn't move and waited until Five was no longer out-of-breath. He then turned towards tree agents and got out a paper where were written a couple of signatures.
"We petitioned. Y/N is to stay in St Louis. The order is coming directly from people higher than the president."
Tumblr media
The agents looked at each other confused before one of them—probably the leader—stepped forward to take a look at the paper.
"What is the meaning of this ? Who ?"
He frowned while reading the list of the names, only seeing patients' and some of the staff members' names. But then, he reached the end of the list and his eyes widened.
"You must be kidding me.."
Five didn't answer his rhetorical question and only stepped back just as a large circle of bright light appeared and none other than Dr Strange came out.
Tumblr media
"By the order of the Avengers and the Justice League, this resident must stay in St Louis for their own safety. We all agreed on it and you wouldn't want to oppose a decision made by the most powerful beings in the Universe, would you gentlemen ? Also, if you even think of moving them again ? I might just throw you all in an interdimensional portal to the Toïten dimension.."
The agent frowned in incomprehension at the unknown location.
"What is the Toïten dimension ?"
Stephen smiled enigmatically before shaking his head.
"Believe me. You don't want to now."
The agent glanced up at the slashers, still waiting for the verdict and then, he took couple of steps forward towards you. But the slashers made a protective wall as the agent leaned towards you to whisper.
Tumblr media
"You will come to regret this..when your powers become out of control and you accidently kill one of your friends. I really wished you could see it the way we do."
You bit your lower lip nervously and didn't dare meet his eyes. Arthur then took a step forwards and raised his gun at the agent's head.
"I believe we were clear. They are staying with us. Now, if you could leave ? You can forget about making them one of your little test subjects. They're not interested."
The other agents pointed their guns back at the slashers, but the leader raised his hand to tell them to stand down, and they obeyed.
However, he didn't break eye contact until he was back next to his car and stopped for a moment before smiling.
"Don't forget, you may be powerful..But, you are still human. Even Superman has a weakness. It's only a matter of time before we find all of yours.."
He then came back in his car and they all drove away.
Stephen was about to leave when you pushed past the slashers to run towards him and tell him thank you.
He stopped dead in his tracks and turned back towards you with a small knowing smile and winked at you.
"No problem. It's what a hero does.."
He then disappeared in the portal and you smiled from ear to ear in pure joy. You could stay..You couldn't help but let out a scream of victory with your fists in the air.
"YES !"
But then, you frowned as a thought crossed your mind and you looked back at Five.
"Wait...But, how did you get the signatures of all those people in such a short time ?"
Five addressed you a sly smirk before shrugging.
"Who said I did ? Do you know that we can easily find the signatures of every superhero on the internet ? Very useful thing by the way..You can literally find everything on it."
Your eyes widened as you realized what he had done and you couldn't help but let out a soft chuckle and shook your head in disbelief.
"You are mad, Number Five.."
He gestured to the hospital and replied.
"Duh. Obviously.."
You ran to him and hugged him tightly.
"Thank you..Thank you so much."
He hesitated for a second before returning your embrace with a smile.
"You're very welcome..It wouldn't have been the same around here without you.."
You then pulled apart and you glanced up at the rest of the slashers and Arthur who smiled. But, his smile fell when he looked in the direction where the cars had disappeared in.
"That agent..He'll be back. We better be prepared. Something tells me he won't quit.."
You nodded and looked in the same direction as Arthur, his words repeating in your head.
You will come to regret this..
Determination filled your lungs as you knew the only one who would come to regret this, would be him.

Actor!Kaito au where Kaito has put down the mantle and became a great magician as himself but then decided to pursue other things alongside magic.
Kaito is notorious in the industry for never breaking character in front of the camera. Every single cast member could be breaking out in laughter and Kaito would just look into the camera with a deadpan stare. His co-actor is already on the floor dying of laughter but Kaito continues with his lines, even improvising which makes his co-actors laugh harder and everyone else in the room breaks. He's always in the blooper reels but it's never him making the mistake. It's always his co-stars in tears, choking, and out of breath.
It's not like he doesn't smile when everyone's practically breaking their backs laughing. But he doesn't just smile, he grins. There's a twinkle of mischief in his eyes and playfulness on the upturn of his lips. Because, ah! Of course this is a game to him, of course. Kuroba Kaito commands you into a fit of giggles and considers it his win.
After a while, it becomes some sort of challenge to try and make Kuroba Kaito break out of character, to make him laugh. On shoots, his co-stars will try and fail every time. This man is unflappable.
But there's one man who also wanted to challenge the great Kuroba Kaito. Always had, even when he was tiny and less than half his age.
Kaito seems pretty smug about the whole thing so Shinichi decides to show up on set one day with no warning, determined to wreck havoc.
He was sooo gonna mess with Kaito.
--
shit shinichi does whilst directly in kaito's eyesight while he's filming:
puts on that one blue sweater kaito loves to see him in (cause it makes shinichi look soft and it makes his eyes pop, but most importantly, because that sweater belongs to kaito).
starts sucking a lollipop. it's sweet but it's also coffee-flavored. he came prepared. kaito, however, was not.
blatant eye-fucking, real sultry, seeing kaito flub his lines unexpectedly turns him on, he's gonna visit sets more often.
lots of lip biting and lip licking. are his lips dry and cracked? yes. is he gonna keep biting and licking anyway? if the way kaito can't stop staring at him continues then of course he's gonna keep doing it.
winks at kaito. actually winks at him. kaito trips over air.
drops something behind him accidentally which leaves him no choice but to turn around and bend over. kaito actually chokes.
--
When Kaito walks up to him red-faced, supposedly annoyed, but looking more begrudgingly pleased, Shinichi knows that Kaito knows exactly what he's doing.
Shinichi summons his best Conan act and cutely feigns ignorance. Kaito is sulky but the pout is cute. He understands now why Kaito loves to pull shit like this on him.
He decides he's gonna do it more.
He brings out the banana.
---
(alternate version under the cut lol warning it’s corny)
there was a different version of shinichi making kaito laugh lol
it’s still about kaito being an unflappable man but this time shinichi doesn’t purposely make him laugh. 
anyways, i wanted them to laugh at something stupid that kaito’s chuckles carry over to the scene he’s filming
kaito is filming overseas and shinichi is on a visit. they’re in his waiting room where kaito practices his lines and shinichi reads a book. kaito has a line where he goes, “...his chin caught...” or something like that and shinichi snorts out of nowhere, trying to stop his giggles but ultimately fails.
kaito asks whats so funny and shinichi still can’t stop laughing. 
he then reveals that the line sounded like “chinko” or dick and it made shinichi laugh
it’s so dumb and stupid but shinichi has been hearing english everywhere for days and suddenly he hears kaito say something that sounds like ‘dick.’ he just couldn’t help but laugh.
kaito looks at him unimpressed. doesn’t particularly finds it as funny as shinichi does but seeing shinichi laugh so heartily pulls the giggles out of him easily.
later on when kaito is finally filming the scene, he gets to the ‘dick’ line and he can see from his peripheral vision that shinichi is trying to stifle his laugh. kaito is caught off guard and he can’t fight off the giggles suddenly bursting out of him. oh he is fucked.
they try some more takes but kaito cannot stop laughing. can’t even start the line without bursting into laughter anymore. shinichi is dying trying to hide but can’t help his laughter.
“SHINICHI! I’M SERIOUS, STOP IT!!” Kaito yells as he tries to stifle his laughter and profusely apologizes to the director and his co-actors.
“O-okay..pfft- sorry! I’m leaving now.” He leaves giggling all the way out.
Kaito can’t help but smile.
(This alternate version was cause I watched this compilation from Uramichi Oniisan where miyano’s character was laughing at dumb dick puns and it made me think of kaishin doing the same. just kaishin laughing at dumb things and inconveniencing the entire staff lol)

Okay so lets talk about how absolutely down right hillarious (to me at least which is all that matters) Executor is during this event and the event's potrayal of him-
-Spoilers for Guiding Ahead(?)-
Let me preface this by saying that he's not trying to be funny! He's just so hardass that its funny! Nokia 3310 blushed when it saw him because while its a brick it can't really compare to our favourite terminator, whose first words might as well be a line of C code.
To understand him its VERY simple his prority is:
- Law
- Protocol
- You're his boss and protocol states to be cordial
The law, however, vastly outstrips the things below it; If you're obstructing his ability to carry out his duty to the law then he'll exercise his right to disregard your position to uphold it. He DOES NOT care that you are his superior. If you broke the law you're going into the slammer- if it was against the law to like Cactus tarts he would've dragged the pope down to the slammer if he had to.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The dude doesn't even have time to use the art of Kalt'sitese(TM) Executor just goes that's not a yes, which means....its a no! And its very cute that he asks like this by the by- he does the equivalent of "Hello good sir did you smuggle cocaine into the country? If you did in accordance to the law I must ask that you follow me down to the office"-
-and he expects them to comply. That's because that's something he would do. I stated the laws please respond.
By the way did I mention the 'if' part? That's right. He wasn't sure. The arrest of this legatus versus the arrest of Oren is VASTLY different in tone- that's because Oren is 100% busted when he went to hunt for him but for this one? he had No concrete proof. Nil. Nada. But he's determined to bring them in because if you're not completely innocent then you're guilty of Something (source: just trust me bro)
This is also NOT the first instance of source: just trust me bro during the event- the first instance was actually at the beginning of the event with the introduction of Cecelia. Federico's first line is his request for entry.
Tumblr media
But his second scene is him being in the room. (We later find that he was confronting her for potentially being involved with a sarkaz which was his grounds for investigation). Cecelia would not open the door for a suspicious man asking for entry- and to cement that fact the narration had her hiding under the chair when Executor was in the room with him being none the wiser.
What did that mean?
He broke in without permission.
The narrative does not show Executor as he's absolutely wrecking havoc while going through the grapevine. He arrested a Legatus for peeps sake- that's an official delegate stamp approved by the Pope! People see him crashing though windows and if you know even a tiny bit about the Notarial Hall's executors then you would have Definitely Heard About Him.
And the cherry on the cake? He wasn't even here for Cecelia or the fact that Oren and Andoain was plotting something during the summit. His appearance was for something completely different entirely, he was on a damn vacation! This wasn't a mission of his!He was really vital to cornering Oren in all of this but its portrayed like he's on a sidequest- all his scenes was him trying to arrest people! He just happened to be caught up in this hoo-ha trying to catch the person that MIGHT have a lead on the fugitive he was tracking.
And when the dust settles he's like damn that was a waste of time- Oren goes 'oh wait I literally met this person you're looking for lmao'
-surprised Exe.jpg-

^ one pixel of difference btw.

for the ask game, not sure what you would do with this prompt but i'm curious anyway!
16. “You don’t have a choice.”
Oh my! I wasn't sure either for a while there! Sorry about the long wait (even by my standards)! But I came up with a decent idea in the end, so here we go!
(TW: Just some somewhat graphic death threats, choking imagery, and mild blood. Nothing too dark here for this one, because I was more in the mood for something humorous. Also, Maiden getting too into her worldbuilding, even by her standards.)
It was a little embarrassing, in Tenkai's humble opinion, to get so absorbed in their grumbling over misplaced things on the shelves that it took them until the knife at the back of their throat presses in for them to realize it was even there.
They raise their arms up, "Not even gonna bother by the spell card rules?"
"And put myself at a disadvantage? Why would I do that?"
Ah, they recognize that voice. So they've been ambushed by that scoundrel? Well, it was only a matter of time before they got the bright idea to try picking on them. This was gonna be fun.
"Ah, the Black Shitodo has finally decided to threaten me? Remaining a scoundrel I see," Tenkai can't help but smirk as the knife presses a little further into their neck, "Still 'accquaintances' with Saragimaru there?"
"I don't exist." And the snake is here too then. This oughta make their week.
"Shut up and keep watch," Kuroji's attention turns back to Tenkai, "Now Zuifeng, if you don't comply, no amount of danmaku will help against a simple knife. You'll-"
"I'll be nothing but a mere corpse on the floor? Have the snakes been rubbing off on you or something? You can't even be creative in how you're gonna kill me like Orochin usually gets!"
"...?!" Speaking of snakes, that must've got Saragimaru's gears turning. This'll make screwing with these scoundrels extra fun.
"Unlike Yaorochi, you'll find that I prefer much more simple measures of murder. So do you truly want to test me?"
Ouch. And now there's some blood gushing out from where Kuroji pricked them, making their point. They let out a nervous chuckle, "Geez, not gonna even give me the illusion of free choice?"
"You don't have a choice."
They gathered that much. But confirmation is always nice.
Tenkai takes a step forward, not quite sure what direction they wanted them to go in yet, "So what are you guys after this time? Money? Powerful artifacts? My pride?"
"Knowledge, actually," the scoundrel answers with a light hum, "Sources say Azumaterasu has a rare book cataloguing the Senri family line all the way back to the very first priest of Mugenri."
"And by sources you mean some poor village historian you extorted that information out of."
"He didn't even try to fight back. Just gave in begging for his wealth to be spared," Saragimaru grumbles, confirming what they already knew.
Tenkai was even pretty sure they knew who that someone was. Always was a snivelling coward. How anyone could've entrusted him with such important information is beyond them.
But even so...Ooh, this was definitely going to be fun!
They bite down a mischievous grin, "Let me guess, trying to one-up the current priest? I never knew you had any sort of interest in history!"
"I don't," A low growl hisses in their ear, "I simply see the value in learning all I can about this world. The rarer information I know? The more of a bargain it will be, if you know what I mean..."
"And to make that worthless priest they won't shut up about jealous. Or something." They can just hear Saragimaru shrugging.
Tenkai suppresses a loud chuckle at Kuroji's annoyed shout. Oh, make no mistake, it would be awful if they got ahold of it. The untold havoc that scoundrel would wreck simply by having one of the most important pieces of documentation the Senri clan ever entrusted to their family cannot be underestimated. And their superiors would have their head. That too.
But that implies they plan on letting them get ahold of it in the first place.
"Can't let ya pass on that one," they exclaim, trying to sound at least a little worried, "Even if I wanted to, that book is under lock and key. Sorry!"
"Allow me to repeat myself, just this once: You don't have a choice in this."
"Or what? You'd actually slit my throat? I mean, you are a scoundrel, so..."
And there's the knife drawing blood again. Ouch.
"As a matter of fact, yes. Yes I would. So start marching."
Tenkai obeys, legs automatic, "Sheesh! Someone needs to learn better manners!"
"Don't you know manners and this scoundrel don't mix? Not that you would know much more about manners yourself."
Tenkai can only click their tongue at that. Tsurubami would've been proud.
Kuroji drags them deeper into the bowels of the shop. The "Employees Only" scroll on the door was cheerfully ignored, and they were taken in and out of various rooms in less a sinister waltz and more a clueless stumble. They even start making low growls as the charade goes on. They oughta be glad Tenkai was left to their own devices (miraculously) today, otherwise they would be very, very dead right about the second room. Maybe the third if they want to be generous.
Oh, make no mistake, their superiors are gonna be pissed if they find out Kuroji decided to break into Azumaterasu, and at them especially if they find them compromised like this. The aftermath would not be pleasant if they get caught.
But then again... it's been a good while since someone tried to knock those arrogant asses down a peg. So why not give them a little helping hand, by a certain definition?
The dizzying constant shifting of their surroundings only stops when a loud crack rings out, causing both of them to look in its direction.
...Oh darn, the snake knows a thing or two about picking apart barriers. Not much, clearly, as Tenkai can easily bypass that particular barrier without busting it so loudly, but they did know how to destabilize the inscriptions at the very least.
Saragimaru turn to look at them, the blue glow at their fingertips fading away, "...Found it."
And by the grin returning to Kuroji's face, it seems Tenkai's reaction had given it away.
"Oh my oh my Saragimaru, how did you ever know the entrance was right there?"
"The melon took me into this very room when we met the first time. Something about the inscription working best in that room... though they were lying so..."
Saragimaru fixes them with a harsh glare. Tenkai can only give a half-hearted shrug, unapologetic, "So you can remember how to break the barrier like I showed you, but can't keep track of prices. Suits ya pretty well if you ask me~!"
"...! Why I oughta-"
"Put the sword down. We still need them to bypass whatever traps these old farts put in order to gatekeep us."
Saragimaru lets out a loud groan as they sheathe their kodachi, their jaw clenched. Kuroji hums in their ear a moment later, "But don't worry! Once they disable all the traps it should be perfectly alright to take care of them then!"
... Okay, now this is just downright hilarious. Last time they got held at swordpoint, the youkai were all cheerfully talking about dismembering them once they served their purpose. These guys are just being more polite about it!
Needless to say, Tenkai bursted out laughing. As if these two could ever be the death of them! They kept laughing as they were ushered through the library doorway and down the stairs.
It wasn't until their laughter became full blown wheezing that they were asked by their current captor, "...What's so funny?"
"You..." They wipe a tear from their eye, less walking down the steps and more skipping down them, "...You plan to kill me once I've outlived my usefulness. Are you sure you won't consider a career as a comedian?"
Judging by the low hiss, like a little bird trying to sound bigger than it really is, Kuroji was making, they weren't too impressed by their wit. The knife presses into their back, forcing them down two at a time.
"...Huh. I now see why you want to kill them. All this time I thought I was craving bread, not blood."
"I told you they were better off dead!" Their eyes bore into them from behind, "So don't tempt me! I will if I have to, consequences be damned!"
"Bloodthirsty now, I see?" Tenkai snickers, "See what I mean? Utterly hilarious! Seriously, both of you might have a future in comedy!"
"Shut up..." They both mutter in unison. That will probably be the first and last time they ever agree on something, to boot.
Tsurubami would definitely be proud. They've come a long way since...
Their feet touch down on smooth stone. They swallow hard, knowing where they are and what they'll have to do.
"March," Kuroji whispers in their ear. The knife digs into their back, and Tenkai obeys.
Tenkai roams the long corridors of books and scrolls, one foot firmly in front of the other. They knew exactly where the book in question is. Tsurubami had quite a few suggestions for it when they stole that very book the third time they met. Their superiors didn't know it, but they had gleefully heeded their suggestions.
Not that Kuroji knows that. Nor do they intend to let them know and ruin their fun.
Tenkai guided the scoundrels over to the bookcase in question. The one at the very back, the oldest and mustiest.
Oh, and the only one concealed behind a very obvious and visible barrier. Can't forget that part!
"...So what happens if you touch that barrier there?" Saragimaru asks.
"You rapidly age as your future death plays out right before your eyes."
"Even to the ageless...?"
"Then just the vision of your future death," Tenkai smiles as a loud sigh rolls by their ears.
Okay, they've never actually seen what happens when an actual intruder like these two tries to touch that barrier in question before. They do remember only getting a small shock as a kid when curiosity got the better of them though. One of their...more overdramatic caretakers did spin that story to scare them away, so perhaps there's a grain of truth in it?
Not that it really mattered. They aren't hearing any protests from them, that's for sure.
"Well I happen to like being the age I'm at," Kuroji huffs, "So...? Are you going to grab the book or not? Because if you're not, I presume you know-"
"You'll slit my throat and then leave me to bleed out and die. Yadda yadda yadda," Tenkai rolls their eyes, "If you're gonna actually go ahead and kill me, at least do something more fun than a simple knife to the throat."
"Believe me, the possibilities for me killing both of you are endless if I had it my way," Saragimaru deadpans, as if they actually had the power to follow up on that particular threat.
"I'm well aware. You've told me plenty of them already," Kuroji sounds way too chipper when refuting their wayward servant in Tenkai's opinion, "But unless you would rather be the one to try and break that barrier there, I would -"
"I lost the right to share my opinion. Got it," The butt of a wooden pole jabs against Tenkai's back, making them take a step forward, "...Hey melon, if you find a way to throw this scoundrel into that barrier, please do. Preferably at once."
A huff, "Ignore them. Try that and I'll show you 'creative'."
"I make no promises!" Tenkai grins, flexing their fingers, warming up with power, as they strut towards the barrier.
In theory, this barrier, designed to keep important books under lock and key (and far away from the nose of their least favorite apprentice), is one of the sturdiest, most complex constructs second to only the Great Barrier itself. It contains dozens of inscriptions, and many riddles to keep intruders (and certain smart alecks) from easily confusing and breaking it. Few should be able to access it without an elder's say so.
Keyword: should.
In practice, this barrier was merely further proof that their superiors have never actually fashioned a complicated barrier in their lives. Perhaps it was Tenkai's genius getting the better of them, but this barrier was about as complex as the one on their safe box of gag gifts ill fitting for someone like them to hold onto. It does it's job against one who knows jack about breaking barriers, but only serves as a fun puzzle for a professional barrier breaker.
Tenkai just so happened to be one such professional barrier breaker.
The runic inscriptions light up with a quick swipe over the barrier's surface. Glowing orange fingertips scrawl over it, seeking out the vaguest, frailest sentences.
...Found one.
A twisted grin sprung to Tenkai's face as they began to pour all their energy into it. The inscription glowed brighter and brighter, until it was almost blinding. And then, right before this section could crack, disabled, under the pressure, they let up.
They then reach inside the glowing section of barrier, and yank the target book out.
"You insult me," They huff as their handiwork fades, leaving the barrier like it was never touched, "I could break barriers like that in my sleep."
"...All you did was reach through the barrier and make the room smell like melons," Saragimaru pinches their nose, "You less broke the barrier and more bypassed it."
"And alert my bosses that they were being robbed the moment it shatters? You really ought to be thanking me for not blowing your cover!" They let out a small chuckle at Kuroji's low growl, "Breaking barriers is child's play. Now bypassing barriers? That's a completely different skillset! I put in all this hard work for you guys, and you're too greedy to even thank me?"
"The book. Now." Considering the knife now back at their throat, they guessed so. Kuroji is, at least. Saragimaru is more easily manipulated than greedy.
But nevertheless, Tenkai deposited the book into Kuroji's waiting hand, whistling a small tune as they cast their glance at a nearby bookshelf. It immediately vanishes into their electric purple jacket, never to be seen again.
"Thank you. Cooperating wasn't so bad, was it? Less painful," Kuroji's focus turns to Saragimaru, "Now tie up this loose end here. We don't need all of Azumaterasu coming down on our heads, now do we?"
"On your head. This feels a little too easy, knowing Tenkai Zuifeng. Don't you think they got something else up their sleeve? And don't mix me up in the consequences of your own actions!"
"Oh no, they'd definitely come after you too," Tenkai clasps their hands together, doing their best imitation of the grin Tsurubami typically wore when about to discipline troublemakers, "An excuse to go after one of the last remnants of Yamata-no-Orochi's lineage? It would be a crime to let it go to waste! And then both of your families for good measure! ...Just speaking from personal experience here."
They conveniently left out the time they went after Tsurubami once, for the exact same crime by raw coincidence. They were pretty sure Saragimaru and their beloved Yaorochi would be able to keep their hubris unscathed (unfortunately). Now Kuroji? ...A little more debatable. But that scoundrel's upset worse people before and their superiors are all old farts, so who knows?
It did the trick though. Saragimaru's eyes widened a little, "They'd go after Yaorochi-sama?"
"Loose end. Tie it up," Kuroji deadpans, their gaze flitting between Tenkai, Saragimaru, and the room all around them."
"So I can finally kill this obnoxious melon?" Saragimaru's voice lightens notably, a fang nicking their lip as they bite it.
"Tempting, but no. Leaving a body behind is the exact opposite of a clean break-in. You're going to tie their tongue up so they can't say we were here."
They put their naginata back in its sheathe, restrapping it to their back, "Ugh...Why do I always have to cast the curses? You can cast them too. I've seen you do it."
"...Because your curses are more effective, obviously," Kuroji's gaze turns back to Tenkai, nostrils flared.
"Translation: They can't cast magic like you and I can there, Saragimaru," Tenkai jeers, snorting at the death glare Kuroji then gives them.
"I mean, we all know that...I was just wondering why they weren't gearing up to-"
"Shut. Up. Both of you. You've lost the right to speak," They turn their back towards Tenkai, "Now curse them. Then let's get out of here."
"... Yes Your Excellency," Saragimaru grumbles, stepping towards Tenkai. A blue glow, like rainwater, emits from their fingertips, ominously pressing closer and closer to them.
Or at least, it would've been ominous if they haven't been so desensitized to the dark side of magic. Thanks Tsurubami.
"Sheesh, you guys are so mean! Can't take a little joke or-"
The glowing blue hand closes in around their throat, "Shut. Up."
Tenkai suddenly felt like they were choking on something. They tried to laugh through the pain of talons digging into their nape, but every sound they tried to make sounded garbled. A small white cloud puffs from their mouth, like breath on a cold winter day. Saragimaru's teeth gnash together, and soon enough Tenkai's throat felt clogged with them.
They gargle, clouds bursting from their mouth in a rapid stream like bubbles, purging their tongue of what occurred in this library. And then, just like that, it was all over and the magic all dissipated, their windpipe clearing of misplaced weather.
Saragimaru lets go, the glow of their magic fading, and Tenkai's body drops to the floor with a thud, as if they had dropped them. Air flows through their lungs like sand, black spots dancing in the corners of their vision as they watch their tail sway gently from side to side.
"There. If they say anything about our robbery and hostage taking, the heavens shall rob them of the ability to speak the truth. ...Poor thing, I'd feel bad if it wasn't for them being Tenkai Zuifeng..."
"Good enough. We got all that we need, so let's leave them here."
"Are you sure that's a good idea? People are going to know someone was here once they notice your stupid book is missing..."
"But will they be able to tell it was us specifically? Besides, it's not like we can't pin this on Tsubakura when all is said and done. They say the Senri priest has some kind of right to this book, don't they?"
"I thought this whole pointless excursion was to make that dumb priest you are so obsessed with jealous. Blaming them for your crime sounds very counter-intuitive."
"And that's enough out of you. Let's make our exit while this place is still clear of those elders we're supposed to fear."
"...Did I actually curse the right person?"
"Oh you're such a tease! Didn't you know my body can be just as loose as my lips?"
"Ugh..."
Tenkai clamours to their knees, watching the scoundrels march up the stairs, bickering all the way there. Right as they both reached the top, Kuroji whirls around, and tips their hat to them.
Then, the scoundrel and their swordsnake vanish.
Tenkai pushes themself to their feet, coughing up one more cloud as the curse rolls around their throat and onto their tongue, tasting of smog. It was a pretty unpleasant feeling actually, but Tenkai has been under enough of these sorts of curses to know a strong one from a weak one. And if Saragimaru really wanted them to shut up, they'd be coughing up clouds and hail for weeks on end for daring to think of the forbidden object in question.
It would also be much harder to unravel than this, going by the magical handiwork now decorating their throat and along their chin. Though going by their few unpleasant encounters with that scoundrel, that wrench in their plans was well deserved.
Not as good as the one Tenkai threw though. They can't wait to see the look on Kuroji's face when they realize they handed up a rulebook instead of the history book they were actually after.
Tenkai wobbles over to the bookcase off to the side. They pluck a certain book off the shelf, and with a wave of their hand, the barrier vanishes, revealing A Brief History of the Senri Clan in all its musty glory.
(It hasn't been updated since the fifth priest before the current ones. Tsurubami had ranted to them long and hard about that once they finally got their hands on the book.)
Like Tsurubami had suggested a long, long time ago, Tenkai had the book swapped out for a conveniently dense decoy, disguising both with a cloaking barrier as the other. Not even their superiors had figured out the swap, but that won't last much longer once someone finally realizes they're missing a book or two.
Especially not after Kuroji's plan blows up in their face and they inevitably throw caution to the wind over it. Tenkai can just picture their rage now. The way their cheeks puff up and turn red when angered had always made them snicker.
They blow the dust off the cover before tucking it under their arm. Oh, they couldn't wait until their little prank is discovered. People like those two are way more fun to manipulate than some of the other idiots that occasionally try to make use of them. It's going to be great.
But right now...What exactly should they do? Their superiors are going to be pissed either way, even though they have dozens of those bloated rulebooks lying around in here. Should they put this book back and let sleeping dogs lie for a little while? Hm...
Their attention turns to the old forbidden bookcase it should be on. A smirk plays at their lips.
Perhaps the scoundrels can serve one more use to them after all? They may not know it yet, but they've already humiliated their superiors once today with their crime. What's a little more to teach those hags a well overdue lesson?
...Tsurubami would definitely be cackling at what they've done if they were still here. They'll definitely have to tell them about this when they meet again.
