And that’s the episode!

God, this show is cute as hell.

I’m looking forward to what comes next, but right now I’m going to take the weekend to myself. I realize I seem like I just took a week to myself, but I’ve been working on setting up a stable routine in my daily life--self-care, health maintenance, and setting routines to--again--bring myself stability. I’m not exactly healed, but I’m taking better care of myself already. I highly recommend the aid I’m using--HabitRPG, a site that turns daily chores and tasks into an RPG--to anyone in need of some structure.

anyways path of exile launches its next expansion tomorrow and I’m playing the fuck out of it

That reminds me, actually! One of my friends is putting up a prize for anyone in the community who wants to try out Path of Exile! The first person to reach 40 challenges in Legion League gets a $20 Steam gift card, and the second a $10 one. If I manage to get my head above the hole I fell into last month, I plan to add some to the pot myself. For those who haven’t been around for me relentlessly shilling the game for years, Path of Exile is an action RPG in the vein of Diablo II, crossed with FFVII’s Materia system and FFX’s Sphere Grid. It’s free to play, with no pay-to-win--it sustains itself on cosmetics and storage space. There’s a community guild for my friends and fans, and we’d love to have more people active in it--if you join my fan-community Discord server, you can easily get in on the guild and the competition.

Other than spending the next 72 hours merging my essence with that of my favorite game in the world, my next tasks are...Well, actually, let me just paste my HabitRPG to-do list:

I have the next few liveblogs on there, ready to check off, but more immediately I plan to start revamping LWU piece by piece. First off is going to be fixing my episode list system. I have other things planned, but rather than overwhelm myself by planning all of them, I’m going to focus on one piece at a time.

Anyways, thanks for tuning in! I’ll see you all next time--and, hopefully, a few of you in Path of Exile!

IN OTHER NEWS:

I’m on new medication and have a referral for therapy, so hopefully things are going to start looking up for my mental health, but I spent most of May having a series of panic attacks and one of my bigger patrons has been having payment issues to boot. If you can spare it, please send some cash my way–I really need some help right now.

I’m also planning on revamping a bunch of things about my blog–fixing up old sub-pages, hopefully re-tagging the early Steven Universe episodes, and maybe commissioning a new banner, among other things. Stay tuned–I may also get some help reworking the blog’s overall appearance!

At the very least I want to make it so the top of my head isn’t cut off on the banner.

I’ve also recently reuploaded the movie commentary tracks I did with a friend in 2017! Check them out here!

You should also go pledge to Gio, our Discord server maintenance tech, creator of Rubybot, and community Minecraft server overlord. He deserves far more than I can afford to give him.

If you’d like more of me and my content:

My Discord server, where you can come hang out with other fans, and join community gaming guilds!

My Twitch channel, where I stream variety games!

My Youtube channel, where you can check out past streams!

If you’d like to help support me financially (yes please–while your generosity helped me out of the hole I’d fallen into, I don’t have any savings built up) you can use my direct donation link to put some food on my shelf, or pledge to my Patreon if you want to support me per episode completed, which not only allows you to vote on what shows I do next, but also grants access to the community Minecraft server to $5 patrons or higher!

It’s your kindness and support that lets me do this stuff, and I wouldn’t be where I am without all of you to do it for. Thank you all so much for your support, and for tuning in every episode!

OTHER PEOPLE YOU MAY ENJOY:

I may have been one of the earlier Steven Universe liveblogs, but a whole community of livebloggers has sprung up over the last three years! I linked to a bunch individually for a few wrap-ups, but honestly, this end-slate is already eight billion miles long, so I’m just gonna link to my links page. Click here if you want recommendations of other livebloggers, or other neat people, or webcomics and podcasts that I recommend.

okay i wanted to sneak in before dinner and post this next gift for @larkspear in case they needed something nice after getting back for the movies. they requested some post-denny au stuff for heather and veronica and i was tHRILLED bc post-denny aus are some of my favorite things to do (as evidenced by the fact that i tend to go on and on about them whenever i get the chance to write them). we’ve talked before about the cast going back to madeline’s world with her so that’s what i went with. DOUBLE the discourse.

so spear, i hope you’re having a great christmas because you more than deserve it. i know you’ve had a lot to work through this year and i’m glad you’ve had the space to get support and validation, and equally grateful that you’ve given those things to me whenever i’ve needed them. i feel like i can talk to you about p. much anything without worrying about being judged and like i was saying to jay... that’s pretty rare for me, and you really have become one of my best friends over this past year (thank GOD for homecoming!). anyway thank you so much for the memestreams and entertaining dctv liveblogs and wonderful rp dynamics -- and just being such a considerate and giving friend in general. nighttrap has done a lot to put me in a bit of a healthier place this year and i’ll always be grateful to you guys.

“If we’re tagging along with you guys while you fucking elope, we’d better be going somewhere nice.”

In all actuality, Heather is a bit less sure of this ‘let’s just say fuck everything and hop through a rift to another world’ idea than she pretends to be. It’s easy to act confident, angrily confident because what the fuck do they owe their world anyway, where Heather herself is dead and Veronica is dogged by maybe-not-so-metaphorical ghosts and all anyone’s ever done is screw them over, anyway.

Still. She’s not entirely sure how many times anyone has actually done anything like this before. It might be against some kind of weird, unspoken rifter code (but fuck that, too).

She tries not to be a little surprised when they mention their plan to the other Heathers, and Duke and McNamara decide they actually want to come along. Maybe Mac she can understand -- but somehow, even after all this time, she wasn’t expecting Duke to hate the idea of going back to Westerburg so vehemently.

They’ve all lost a lot, Heather supposes.

It’s just over a month ‘til graduation, so they all agree to wait until after then to try. Maybe it’s symbolic, or some shit. Mostly, it means that wherever they end up, they don’t have to do high school all over again.

“You think we should try Madeline’s world?” Heather muses dubiously when Veronica makes her suggestion.

Veronica shrugs, focusing on her locker -- they’re in the midst of end-of-the-year clean out. “Seems like our best bet. I mean, we know people there, and at least it sounds... relatively normal.”

She’s got a point, but Heather decides to be obnoxious just for the sake of it. She scrunches up her nose. “But what if everyone there’s... like her?”

Veronica nudges her pointedly for her trouble, and she tries not to laugh.

“Isn’t she from California?” Behind them, Heather Duke is practically audibly rolling her eyes. “If we’re tagging along with you guys while you fucking elope, we’d better be going somewhere nice.”

Heather resists the urge to snipe back at her for the ‘eloping’ jab. She hates that it’s actually kind of funny.

“Is it okay if I ask Rachel to come with us?” Heather Mac asks, a bit apprehensively. “She -- I don’t think she has anything very nice to go home to.”

Heather glances at Veronica, who nods carefully and says, “Okay, but don’t tell anyone else about this. Madeline says her friend can probably help us with all the... legal documentation and stuff, but the more people we bring through to literally show up out of thin air, the harder it’s gonna be.”

“I can’t believe we need someone to fake papers for us.” Heather turns to the others, smirking, as Veronica shuts her locker. “This is so illegal.”

“Unless Madeline’s world is a lot weirder than we’re assuming, I kind of doubt there’s any specific law against hopping through a rift and pretending we’ve lived there all our lives...” Veronica points out, but it’s a lost cause -- McNamara looks vaguely worried, and Duke is already snickering. Heather rolls her eyes, but can’t help but smile as she takes Veronica by the hand and starts for the exit.

They’ll never have to see Clairbourne again. It’s a relief, and just a little bit sad.

Monterey is definitely a different scene than Sherwood and Beacon Heights both. If anything, it’s more Heather’s scene -- more chic, less cutesy, and there’s something about the air that she likes. She’s always loved the ocean, but she’s never lived near one her entire life (Ohio’s just about as far away from that as you can get).

On the surface, it’s not all that different from the last world they were in, in that it’s basically the same time period and geography. There’s just... less weird shit. Heather’s hardly going to miss the rifts or the fucking clowns in the slightest, but some of the other stuff? Seeing Finley and Casimir every day on their way to school, hearing about Ratchet’s latest superhero bullshit on the news, the underclassmen friends she made at Clairbourne? Maybe.

Still, the moment they arrive, that worry she knows has been weighing them all down - the ‘one of us could get pulled back to our world at any moment, and not all of us would survive that’ one - is gone. That alone, Heather thinks, makes all of this worthwhile.

“Celeste would probably think I’m completely nuts if she hadn’t been in that other world too, for a little while,” Madeline mutters to them when she returns to where she left them at a little cafe near the beach. Heather kind of thinks Madeline’s nuts anyway, but for once she bites her tongue. “But it’s all arranged. You’re college students studying abroad, or -- you will be in the fall. We just need to work out where you’re staying.”

It makes sense to have Veronica stay with Madeline, since they’re already close. Heather might’ve preferred to be nearby - she’s so used to rooming with Veronica at this point, after all - but Madeline’s house, while big, is hectic enough on its own with her own teenage daughter spending half her time there (and a younger daughter and husband to boot).

So Heather goes with one of Madeline’s best friends, Celeste. It’s a logical fit because Celeste is an attorney, and Heather is planning on going to school for pre-law.

Logical it might be, but the arrangement doesn’t make sense to her in so many other ways.

Celeste lives alone with two little boys who are energetic and mischievous enough to drive Heather up a wall if she spends too much time around them. Her husband, apparently, died pretty recently -- it’s got the whole community shaken up, and Heather doesn’t like to ask many questions about it. By now she knows a sensitive subject when she sees one.

Especially since there are certain things about Celeste that remind her of -- well.

They bond, eventually. It just takes a little while -- until Heather decides that Celeste is soft but... steely in a way not many people would probably recognize.

Just like Madeline and Celeste, Veronica and Heather see each other often -- which is good, because now Veronica is not only Heather’s best friend, but someone she’s supposed to be figuring out a dating life with (still feels like a minefield, at times, but a minefield that’s worth every tentative step). Veronica seems... like she’s happy where she is. Or -- like she could be, one day. She helps out at Madeline’s community theater and bonds with Abigail and Chloe, and more and more these days, Heather thinks she’s starting to look less overshadowed.

Mac ends up with Madeline and Celeste’s third best friend, Jane, which is an arrangement Heather herself is dubious of at first (because Jane is what -- six or seven years older than them, at most, in spite of the fact that she has a little boy the same age as Chloe and the twins). But they seem to get along. Jane is chill enough to temper some of McNamara’s... McNamara-ness, and the relative simplicity of their day to day life seems to be something she takes to pretty well.

Duke’s staying with... well, actually, Heather’s not sure what anybody around here considers Renata Klein besides ‘an actual force of nature’. ‘Friend’ is probably accurate for all that she seems fiercely loyal to the others, in spite of how often her and Madeline seem to clash. In some ways, Heather can kind of see the similarities between her and Duke -- and she begrudgingly means that as a compliment. Still, sometimes too many similarities aren’t a good thing.

She’s wrong about that, too. If anything, they only make each other more unstoppable, and Amabella gets a kind of foster big sister who no bully of any age wants to mess with.

Rachel and Bonnie are basically the same artsy, serene person, as far as Heather can tell, so it makes sense that they end up together. Both effectively separated from The Discourse (as she and Veronica privately like to call it). Heather would envy her, except she herself has taken to this whole new life a little too well (and when has she ever gone out of her way to avoid conflict?).

It feels nice, on the days she allows it to. Instead of a clique, layered with power plays and subtle sabotage, they fall into sort of mirroring the circular structure of Madeline and her friends. Bound by -- well, what they’ve all been through, or whatever. Something stronger than Heather can put into words, even if she’d admit to it.

Maybe this, she thinks, is something she can trust to last.

“So, Renata’s organizing a fundraiser,” Madeline gripes one day while they’re out at the beach. They spend a lot of time there, these days -- all of them do, in varying combos, though today it’s just her, Celeste, Heather, Veronica, and Chloe and the twins.

Celeste lowers her sunglasses a fraction, so that her interest in Madeline’s gossip almost seems polite. It’s a skill that might be useful to learn, Heather thinks. “Another one?”

“Well, I don’t think anyone wants a repeat of -- last year.” Madeline finishes the statement kind of awkwardly, and Heather can’t help but exchange a brief glance with Veronica. The infamous Trivia Night. They both know Celeste’s husband died there, which is touchy enough by itself, but since it isn’t exactly the kind of thing either of them want to ask the women involved about, they have to rely on rumors instead.

And some of those rumors are wild.

“They’re talking about holding it on the beach, actually. Some kind of cookout thing?” Madeline continues. “And -- a talent show.”

“Oh dear.” Celeste sounds amused and doesn’t bother to match Madeline’s scandalized whisper. Until she sees the way Madeline’s looking at her. “ -- You don’t mean -- we don’t have to participate, do we?”

Heather sits bolt upright from where she’s sunning herself. She watches Veronica’s half-smile drop.

“Well, I don’t see how we can get out of it. We’re her friends, how is it going to look if we don’t back her?”

“Hold on a hot second,” Heather can’t help cutting in. “Do we have to participate?”

Madeline pauses, blinking at her. “-- Oh, no. Of course not!” She smiles in a way Heather doesn’t entirely trust. “Well, I mean...”

“What?” Veronica asks suspiciously.

“It’s just, since Renata’s running the whole thing, I’m sure Heather’s going to be involved. Heather Duke, that is. I thought you girls might enjoy some... friendly competition.”

She’s definitely looking directly at Heather, now, and Heather feels her own eyes narrow. She and Duke are friends now - better friends than they ever were back at Westerburg - but hell if she doesn’t feel that familiar, unshakable urge to be the best rising up in her again. She hates that Madeline is right.

Veronica seems to have come to the same conclusion, because right at that moment she grabs Heather by the wrist. “We’ll think about it!” she says, rising and half-pulling Heather up with her. “Wanna go for a walk, Heather?”

“What?” It’s so abrupt that Heather doesn’t quite register the meaningful look Veronica is giving her at first -- she’s too busy griping about being tugged around, and brushing the sand off her. Then she clears her throat. “Uh -- I guess. Whatever. We’ll be back.”

Madeline and Celeste nod understandingly, though they don’t seem particularly fooled -- but Heather’s happy to ignore that for the moment as she trudges past the kids (in the midst of building a very lopsided sandcastle) and after Veronica.

“Did you seriously just do that?” she demands once they’re far enough away from the others.

Veronica gives her an innocent look. “Do what?”

“Run an -- intervention before I could agree to the talent show thing!”

“Heather, that’s not what running an intervention is.”

“Whatever. You intervened.”

“Well... you were gonna sign up for a talent show just to one up Duke.” Veronica sideglances her with the very specific purpose of giving her a Look. Which is totally unfair, Heather reasons, because Veronica doesn’t know for a fact that --

“Holy shit.” Reason finally catches up to her thoughts. “You’re right. You saved my life.”

Veronica looks almost smug now. “Thaaat’s more like it.”

Heather could give her a nudge or kick some sand at her for that, but instead she takes the much more underhanded route of sidling up close and linking their arms. Veronica tries to roll her eyes, but she softens just a little.

The perfect time for Heather to push her luck.

“So that’s a ‘no’ to the Jingle Bell Rock number I was already choreographing in my head.”

Just as planned, Veronica fails to stifle a laugh. “It’s fucking spring.”

“And?” Heather asks. “Are you telling me these people wouldn’t appreciate the Mean Girls reference regardless?”

They’ve both seen enough of modern high schools, by now, to get Heather’s point across. Veronica sucks the inside of her cheek briefly. “I guess I can’t argue with that.”

“No, you can’t.” Heather leans into her a little. “Especially since you’d look damn good in red.”

She doesn’t even try to hide the fact that she thinks her own joke (well, half-joke) is funny, which makes Veronica roll her eyes -- but she’s also blushing a little. She looks away, and at first Heather thinks she’s pretending to ignore her, but then she notices that Veronica’s gaze has drifted out to the ocean.

“I’m... glad we decided to come here,” she says suddenly, and just like that, the situation’s a whole lot less funny. Heather slows up a little.

“It was a good idea,” she admits, feeling as though she should say something more. Veronica, unfortunately, has a talent for making her uncharacteristically sappy, but that doesn’t mean she’s always good at saying sappy things. “...I’m glad you don’t ever have to go back home.”

The same goes for Duke and McNamara, really. Heather knows - or at least thinks - that they’d all be okay in the end. But she also knows there are some things people are better off not going back to.

“Yeah. Well,” Veronica says after a moment of silence, turning back to her. Heather loses track of whatever she was going to say at the affectionate, suddenly vulnerable way she looks at her. She thinks she knows what Veronica’s going to say before she says it. “This is home, now.”

And it is.

#fic #larkspear #christmas gifts #honestly big little lies/heathers was the disastrous combination that was meant to be #this is full of a lot of like... worldbuilding? au building #so i hope that worked

one punch man 10-12: the aliens

huh its episode 10 already man this anime is so short is it flashback time yet?

hi terrible Godzilla oh yeah its the S class introduction time

gotta love that theres actually competent military in this anime why is it such a rare thing jfc

seriously tho Saitama's superpower is NOT superstrength, that's just now how physics works I think he has sped up perception, and I suspect he had that to a degree even before he started his training, judging from how easily he managed to take on the crab guy, if not all of it but what his strength training gave him (awakened in him?) was basically reality warping no wonder he's bored: he ACTUALLY REALLY doesn't have to put any kind of effort into his punches, as it's not his physical strength that's doing any work there, it's literally reality bending to accomodate him that has got to suck reality warping ennui I love my egg son

I love how all of these monsters demand acknowledgement and don't just try and step on pesky human distractions that ignore them

okay yeah this dude did end up just trying to step on her

man Tornado is freakishly powerful and that's amazing

HI OLD MAN DUDE OMG SAITAMA AND GENOS ARE HERE

Genos oh come on you really should learn some self-defense actually

this sounds like an anime reference I'm not getting

I love that Silverfang at least appreciates Saitama's actual power

and Genos is just inviting Saitama to tag along this is adorable

I love how completely fucking extra all the heroes are and how ridiculous Saitama's low key normalcy looks by contrast

poor Tornado she's amazing but since she's only summoned for appropriate level threats it's not even interesting to be amazing

Watchdog Man is amazing

man you are so dramatic maybe start with explanations jfc there is no logic to this order of operations SAITAMA GOT HIS TEA IT'S FROM STARBUCKS IT'S HILARIOUS awww I love this cute lil bad boy who skipped his lil sis's piano recital )=

madame Shibabawa CHOKED ON A COUGHING PILL

poor Saitama not knowing anything I love how casual he is about asking what he doesn't know I wouldn't have managed >_>

you call it right Child Emperor this is very ridiculous granted the meeting holder dude is probably right but he's being very ineffectual about it

Saitama jfc why

IM REALLY GLAD HE GOT INTERRUPTED

oh yeah this is a completely irrelevant bunch of baddies isnt it

OH YEAH THESE ARE THE ACTUAL BAD GUYS GEE 'IN THE NEXT SIX MONTHS' SURE DID TURN OUT TO BE SOON so yeah thats why the meeting holder dude was right

I love how much attention this anime cares to pay to civilians in trouble

man guys you should have hidden in that rut together instead of getting out

the knight guy is awesome

man thats... not all of city A that was destroyed

ahaha Saitama didn't wait for everyone my socially awkward egg acts on his own out of sync with anything <3 i can relate so much

man my favorite thing about this final fight is that it's going to involve collaboration it's not just 'Saitama saves the day' because he's just one person like with the fish king, Saitama was only able to save anyone because other heroes were there first and here there are multiple battles to be fought these dudes are important too

wow his stump sure isn't bleeding out

hey the swords at least slow the monster down that's not nothing

man this samurai dude is hella cool this entire squad is hella cool footsoldiers are important and I love this anime

I love that the kids are in front here it's a terrible idea and yet in context who's going to say no

jfc King you are way too fast to give up

sorry Genos this is a child

I love the peacemaker dude tho

ahaha Saitama is already inside I love him

oh dude you sure are confident in yourself

SAITAMA IS SPREADING DESTRUCTION a thing he's good at

man this guy's design is SO TOTALLY A REFERENCE

...so the flashback stuff is probably side material that I haven't downloaded isn't it

whatever, I'll just continue the liveblog

man this ending is nice it's just pure aesthetic, and it's such a nice grounding one the Earth that Saitama lives on, which is the same one we all do

hi humanization of the enemy to them, Saitama is the kaiju and yeah he kinda is reality warping powers do that

aww Saitama is not very good at finding vital parts of the ship to destroy eh

Saitama makes for an awesome creepypasta really an unstoppable juggernaut

...I really want OPM to become an endless shounen series it's worth it and it has political setup enough for SO MUCH to happen it features a cast FULL of people very ready for exploration and convoluted plots the first season feels like BARELY A PROLOGUE in what could be the grand scheme of thing

GUYS THE FUCK YOU DOING THERE PLEASE EVACUATE

hi Hammerhead!!! I love you!!! omfg is that your actual first name oooomg

omfg THIS GUY I LOVE YOU TOO I REMEMBER AND LOVE YOU

this show's unwillingness to kill anyone off IS AWESOME

hi Sonic <3 I still love your oni face

I love that the knight guy looks middle aged with wrinkles and all

YOO NICE OJI-SAN

GOOD JOB DISRUPTING COMMUNICATIONS BOI

GO SAITAMA WRECK SHIT

I LOVE THE BAD BOY HERO SO MUCH REALLY I LOVE THIS ENTIRE SQUAD AND THE MUSIC IS EPIC AND THE KNIGHT KEEPS WORRYING I LOVE HIM

sorry coordinator dude that's S class heroes for you

welp bye bye dude that's the batter figuring shit out <3

man poor coordinator dude he's trying his best

I love Saitama and his low key shit I love how the navigator TRIES HIS BEST Saitama is ONE SMART COOKIE oh man this dude can actually look hella intimidating

yeah the downside of telekinesis as a combat power is that you still need to have something to telekinesis unless you can just straight up telekinesis your foes i guess

oh hey gravity manipulation nice

sorry due Saitama's power is basically no sell of any other powers its kinda sad

ahaha hes breaking his own ship now

man this supreme telekinetic power sure isn't used to actual direct combat ....yeah he's ridiculously weak kidna

awww cute lil aliens

awww Child Emperor! <3

ah yes! this is what Tornado is for!

and Mumen Rider on the ground you is good job!!! i love that they give him spotlight so fucking much you have no idea this really is an anime exploring the idea of heroes

AW YIS MY GIRL FUCKING WRECK EM THIS IS EFFICIENT COOPERATION

AND TORNADO TRASH TALKS THEM YOU TELL EM GIRL YOU DESERVE THIS GLOAT

guys with indirect powers wait for guys with direct powers to give them a chance

AW YIS SMALL FRY HEROES COMING TO SEARCH&RESCUE THIS IS HOW IT SHOULD BE

I'm still amazed the Knight is still alive guess his power is some sort of invulnerability/healing

dude if you forget the defense and focus on attack they still outnumber you this would have worked better when you still had many heads

AW YEAH BOSS ENCOUNTER (SUCH A REFERENCE)

SAITAMA LOOKING DANGEROUS AS FUCK GOD JOB YOU IS

Saitama is like a white hole infinite energy he just makes his own

I love how Saitama is still not used to the change of his status from hobbyist to professional it's the small details that make it <3

ahh and this is the kind of fight Saitama wanted isn't it?

haha twenty years yeah strength training had fuckall to do with it Saitama had this potential since babyhood

I LOVE SAITAMA'S COMMON SENSE YOU CAN'T JUST GO AROUND ATTACKING SHIT TO ALLEVIATE BOREDOM HE'S FAMILIAR WITH THIS PROBLEM VERY MUCH

I LOVE THE EGG SHOT JFC <33333333

man Saitama's low key-ness looks really badass here best egg

I love that Saitama's movement isn't even running particularly well, it's just walking really really fast

awww Saitama's come to not expect much by now <3

haha sorry dude you're now match for Tornado's firepower hope she's got some way to watch out for civilians would be invaluable for search&rescue if she were free for it rn

oh hey Drive Knight there sure are lots of knights here huh

oh and it was Metal Knight who destroyed the town huh was he the dude who came in to test his weaponry against the meteor?

yup dude sorry outnumbered

so guys you might want to get the fuck out from under the ship now

I love the badass opening music this is Saitama's true potential too bad the plot isn't about it

lol I love how they both have pretty low expectations for each other

this dude is about to bring down his own ship heh

OMG SAITAMA DIDN'T NO SELL THAT THAT'S PRETTY AMAZING sorry dude Saitama has power beyond his own conception too

yeah you can heal yourself but Saitama wasn't hurt

man his pants are baggy and look hilarious

wow holy fuck and Saitama's method of surviving is ragdoll roll with it as much as possible I do that in the car to avoid motion sickness on bumpy roads

AND YEP HERE IT IS SAITAMA IS ON THE MOON HAHAHAHA HE IS NOT BREATHING AND THERE IS NO SOUND SAITAMA ARE YOU GOING TO PUSH MOON OUT OF ITS ORBIT NOPE JUST DESTROY A CHUNK OF SURFACE

aww hey dude vulnerable after all where Saitama just isn't

sorry Tornado you're awesome but that wasn't you

this dude is strong but he isn't Saitama fast he's not even Sonic fast just very strong

CONSECUTIVE NORMAL PUNCHES NICE NOT ENOUGH STILL SAITAMA MUST BE SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW (and yet vaguely dissatisfied still because something in his brain chemistry still isn't making this as awesome as it should have been)

I love Saitama's creative names Serious Punch

I love that Saitama never taunts, never doesn't talk to his foes he doesn't dehumanize them, ever

well yeah okay that was pretty curb stomp sorry dude but you still entertained Saitama more than anyone else ever managed to

I hope poor little alien crew members survive alright ^^;

aww and the master picks up his knight

TORNADO CAN'T YOU HOLD THE SHIP A LITTLE well whatever

oh hey Amai Mask who the fuck even are you dude what the fuck shut up? I love the bad boy he's saying it like it is dude they literally saved the Earth and everything that wasn't wiped out in a single strike???

Amai is an actual supervillain here isn't he

mm he could be S rank I see

oh hey Metal Knight there sure are a lot of supervillains holed up at the top of the Hero Organization huh well I mean it makes as much sense as anything to recruit anyone sane enough to come in

ALIEN SURVIVORS <3

WHAT THE FUCK AMAI WHY LOCAL LIGHT YAGAMI OR WHAT

awww Genos really has found balance with Saitama

so is Saitama already home or what ah nope there he is <3

Tornado you naive muffin

OMFG SAITAMA IS ABSOLUTELY HELPLESS IN SOCIAL SITUATIONS AND CALLS GENOS IN FOR HELP THEY ARE SUCH GREAT PARTNERS

'history-making events, the top stories for days' yeah i guess in this kind of world there's nothing to do but keep reconstructing and ignore the losses )=

OPTION TO LIVE AT HEADQUARTERS YEAH THAT REALLY NEEDED TO BE A THING ALREADY

anyway I love this anime

#liliet rewatches one punch man #still love it #still best

Best Friend Tag

Title: Best Friend Tag

Note: I didn’t expect to be continuing the Youtube AU but I did and now you get to see this. XD

Pairing: Gladion x Reader or Gladion x Moon if you prefer.

The screen took a minute to load but finally it was time. On the screen both you and Gladion were taking your seats on the edge of your pristinely well made bed. You were hugging a cat plush, your pet walking out of the room as if sensing that something was going to happen that meant you shouldn’t be disturbed.

You adjusted the webcam and smiled. “Hey guys, it’s MoonsChampion otherwise known as [Y/N] and here with me today is EnforcerGladion also known as just Gladion. He will be explaining what we’re doing here today.” You nodded to Gladion who tugged on his hoodie a bit nervously, he wasn’t one for liveblogs even if he did appear in some of Lillie’s blogs to react to scouting.

“The name of the game is the Best Friend tag, which means we have to answer your questions which you sent to us on Twitter via the hashtag RockIdolBFT.” He said, raising his phone up for all to see. “Loser gets to go on the other person’s Facebook and post anything they want on that person’s Facebook once.” He smirked.

You shake your head. “This is insane.”

“You suggested it.” Gladion raised a brow at you, confused. “I think I know you pretty well.”

“I’m clearly insane. What do I know about you? You’re a typical rocker with a secret love of romcoms?” You laugh.

Gladion places a hand over the tear in his hoodie. “You wound me. Not romcoms, clearly it’s idol girl anime. How else could I have found your channel?” He smirked, watching you affectionately as you bend over and laugh.

“Okay, okay. First off…” You checked your phone, tapping on a good question. “Oh, here. LonashipperForever7 asked, what was the first video you saw of the other person?” You say, putting your phone down and rubbing your hands together. “Ugh, was it the one Lillie first saw? Was she watching my videos before you?” You asked.

“I’m not giving you hints!” Gladion rolled his eyes.

You stare at him. “Yeah, because you totally know mine-”

“I remember it was that Goofy Movie cover. The one you commented on and after you subscribed.” He answered smugly, crossing his legs under him, his feet covered by thick black socks.

“How did you-” You groan. “I love that one. If I could make you stop and take a look at me instead of just-” You sang, pointing to Gladion.

Gladion made a wave motion with his arms. “Walkin’ by.”

Lunging over to the side you grab a brush and start crooning into it. “There’s nothing that I wouldn’t do if it was getting you to notice.” You smiled, cueing Gladion again.

“I’m alive.” Gladion blew at his bangs and pushed them back to add drama and flair. “She looked right through me and who could blame her?” He turned to look at you, completely focused on the voicing. “I need a new me, plus some positive proof that I’m not just a goof!”

“All I need’s a second chance, a second thought, a second glance to prove-” You stand up, only your knees down seen on the screen but you didn’t care and Gladion was laughing as he tried to beat box. “I’ve got whatever it takes!” You fall back into the bed, laughing.

“You okay?” You made a muffled noise into a pillow and Gladion tried to drag you back to your seat by your cold feet. “I told you to wear socks. You know your feet get cold easily.” He rolled his eyes again, scanning your room for a pair of socks. You always had some lying around.

“I’ve got it!” You crawl back closer to him, almost tripping and falling when Gladion shoved a pair of neon blue socks with bananas on your feet. “I bet it was right before I asked you to collab, the one I did with Lillie said she’d seen my video about my Christmas scout and by then I did an English cover of Strawberry Trapper and We Wish You A Merry Christmas from Aikatsu Stars. So, since you’re a rocker-”

Gladion raised a brow at you, laughing to himself.

“It’s Strawberry Trapper, isn’t it?” You say, full of confidence.

Confidence that was smashed the moment Gladion grinned. “Nope.”

“What?” You blink owlishly at him.

He gives you that insufferable I know everything smile and starts humming. “We are almost here we’ll make it through so…” He snapped. “I’m counting on you.”

“You’re kidding.” Your eyes widen. “But, Aishiteru Banzai was my-”

“What can I say? I’m [Y/N] trash. I’m the # 1 trash.” He shrugged, looking a bit red faced.

“My first video, oh wow.” You almost choke on your own spit. “You were a fan of me before Lillie.”

Gladion sighed, letting out an exaggerated breath. “My secret shame.”

You and he took a moment to laugh, your phones pinging with dozens of notifications and a few texts from Lillie. “Okay, nerd. Your turn.”

“This one is easy, you can make up for your miserable loss here.” He cleared his throat. “What would your parents have called you if you were born a different gender?” He asked, rubbing his hands together.

“You know this about me?” You asked, raising your own eyebrow at him.

“Well, I know your mom…” He gave you a pointed look. “Is fond of the Sun.”

You groan and he cackles victoriously. “You’re so weird. How do you know these things?” You asked, muttering into a pillow.

“And what would mother have called me if I was a girl?” He smiled encouragingly.

“Is it Lillie?” You peeked up at him from your pillow.

Gladion sighed. “Yeah.”

“Really?” You beamed up at him.

“Alright, next question.” He scrolled down, his eyes shining when he spotted one question. “Who is better at putting on make-up?” He snickered.

“Oh God, Gladion.” You giggled. “Let me tell you guys, I have no clue how to put on make-up so when we were going to film X.U. I told Gladion and he told me not to worry about it. I thought, well Lillie can probably do make-up.” Gladion nodded along, staring at you as you looked into the web cam telling the story with insane hand gestures. “So, I get there to the place where we’re filming and Lillie is in her Krul cosplay with Gladion applying make-up on her-” You dissolve into giggles and almost cough, needing Gladion to pat you on the back to clear your throat.

The comments section exploded with expressions of disbelief.

“You don’t know how to put on make-up to save your life.” He nodded.

You hummed, pulling out a familiar tube from your bag off to the side of your bed. Wiggling your eyebrows, you shove the instrument into Gladion’s hands and he takes it, instinctively twirling it around his fingers. “You’ll have to prove it to them.”

The watchers clearly approved because lots of yesses started flooding the comments.

Gladion sighed. “Look up.” He said, smiling when you nudged closer with your legs crossed under you looking up. “It’s not unbelievable. I have a sister.” He carefully painted a dark line careful not to poke you in the eye live on the internet. “Mother really wanted a girl.”

“I think it’s cool.” You tried to shrug but realized it might result in eye liner in your eye. “You’ll make any future girlfriends lucky.”

Gladion scoffed. “Right, because a guy who does guitar covers and idol tuber’s make-up is in high demand right now.” He joked.

“I’d be happy to get me a talented guitar player who can sing with me and do my make up.” Gladion almost froze, but you didn’t notice too busy staring at a speck on your ceiling where you’d accidentally hit it with a dirty volleyball.

He looked at you, his eyes shining with hope. “Are you saying you’re hiring?” He asked, rubbing the side of your eyelid to get some excess eye liner off. “All done. Would be better if had concealer and everything.”

“Would you look at that.” You took a mirror from your bag and smiled. “Boyfriend goals, girls. You better snatch this one up.” You laughed, picking up your phone to check for more questions.

Gladion tried to ignore the redness welling up in his cheeks. It would do him no good to let everyone see his admiration for you and from the looks of the comments section some people were already beginning to suspect.

“This one says do we take acting lessons.” You turned to him just in time for him to straighten himself out. “Well, you don’t. You did a pretty good Mika, though.” You complimented.

Gladion shrugged. “I just thought of the saddest thing I could think of.”

“Pop culture?” You asked. “The fact that Ed Sheeran stopped releasing music last year?”

Gladion frowned. “Homeless dogs.”

“Oh my God.” You threw your hands in the air.

“If homeless dogs don’t make you sad you’re a heartless person.” He said seriously.

“Gladion, your love for dogs has actually resulted in me having to take care of Null.” At the sound of your voice calling him, your limping shi tzu climbed up onto your bed, brownish white fur bounding as it begged you to pet it. “Your dog adopting tendencies are out of control.” You dump the overexcited shi tzu into Gladion’s arms, letting the small dog lap at Gladion’s face in retaliation. You smirk.

“Null- [Y/N] Make him stop!” He said, trying to pry the dog away from him but it was tenacious and seemed to grip Gladion’s shirt with it’s nails.

You whistled, Null looked up and scurried over to you, settling in your lap once he’s been petted repeatedly. “And you are the dog person.”

“Cat person.” He stuck his tongue out at you. “You didn’t take acting classes but you were in drama club once.” He stopped you before you could ask. “Hau was your classmate, remember?” He grinned at the coincidence, his cameraman being your classmate in school.

“That tattler.” You pouted.

Gladion laughed, his phone going off. “Time’s up.” He smirked. “You-”

You raised your phone over your head keeping it away from him. “You’re not taking my phone. I will mess you up, Virdis!” You threatened, leaning back so his long arms couldn’t allow him to snatch the phone from you. “I-there’s girl stuff in there!”

“Nice try but I do have a sister and you were the one who decided the stakes-”

You can’t remember if he overbalanced or if you fell and tripped him up, either way the tussle ended up with Gladion awkwardly falling over and crouched on top of you with your hands secured under one of his and your phone in his free hand.

“Hah.” You try to laugh but it came out as a breathy sigh. “How cliché.”

Gladion bit his lip and sat back up, sliding your phone screen on and staring at the passcode screen.

“My password-” You try to reach out to grab it but Gladion was already typing in the four number code.

“Yura.” He mutters and your phone opens without protest. “You always coordinate your passcode with your wallpaper in case you forget. Your wallpaper is Yuri Plisetsky. But, everyone knows you call him Yura because his grandfather calls him Yuratchka.” He smiles fondly and you can’t help but flare your nostrils at how dense he was.

After all, why else would you pick Mika if he didn’t look so much like the boy you loved?

“Alright, here I go.” He breathed in and started typing.

You take his phone in retaliation, thanking God that his password never changed since when you both had to do your video. It was still NULL.

Opening his Facebook app, you refresh to check if he’d posted it yet. Looking up at him, you frown. “What’s taking you-”

A wooshing sound echoed in the room and you numbly refresh the page.

The comments exploded with congratulations and hearts and you groaned as the live stream showed more and more viewers being excited about whatever Gladion posted. “Please don’t be something ridiculous like a pregnancy announcement.” You spare a moment to glare at him before scrolling to your Facebook page. “Or I swear, I will kill…”

You were speechless for a moment, your voice shaky as you finally turned to look at Gladion. “That’s” You swallow a lump in your throat. “Not embarrassing or funny.” You searched his face for a reaction, an emotion, something. But, Gladion gave nothing away but an unpredictable smile.

“It shouldn’t be.” Shaky hands twine with yours where it rested between the both of you on the bed. “Because, it’s the truth.”

You gasped, fingers tightening around his in shock. “I-”

A loud noise interrupted you, Null had gotten fed up with not being noticed and jumped onto your laptop making the webcam fall to the floor and unplugging the router, cutting the video.

“Well, that’s one way to give us privacy.” You laugh as Gladion leaned down to place the webcam where Null couldn’t chew on it. His hand was still twined with yours, as if it would be the only time he’ll get to do this, to be this close to you ever again. “Gladion-”

“I always told myself it wasn’t possible, back when I first saw your videos.” He said, staring at the floor, his hand shaking in your grasp. “It couldn’t have been real, not when I’d only ever seen you over the internet.” He turned, green eyes turbulent with waves of different emotions colliding with each other fighting for a front seat. “But, then we did that video together and I was scared because suddenly it was too real. You were too real.”

His hand grew slack under yours and you moved closer to take it back but he placed his other hand over both of yours instead. “And then, you smiled at me and I messed up.” He shook his head. “I couldn’t be your friend. Not when having you close meant always feeling like this.”

You let go of his hand, quickly taking his phone and typing a reply to his post.

Gladion blinked at you, disbelieving.

He’d told you. He confessed to you. And you were Facebooking about it, on his phone.

Your own phone buzzed in his lap and he opened it, checking on his post.

Good, because I love you too. <3

Gladion has changed your relationship status to In A Relationship.

You are now In A Relationship with Gladion Virdis.

He stared at you, smiling widely.

“If it’s alright with you, of course.” You smiled back at him, gasping when he launched himself at you, flinging his arms around you and pulling you into his warm embrace.

“I can’t believe you. I talked probably more than I talk to anyone in a week and all you say is good?” He laughed, burying his nose into your hair and taking a deep breath.

“I already said all I needed to. I always do.” You stroke his hair, leaning back to stare into his eyes. “You’re a talented guitar player. I love that you can sing with me and do my make up. I love how much you love dogs and how much you love your sister.” You counted on your fingers and lean up, surprising him with a kiss to his cheek reveling in the redness that bloomed there immediately after. “I love you. And you make me happy. Now, was that a satisfying confession, Gladion Virdis? Would you be my boyfriend now? Ahh-”

He picked you up and spun you a little, your arms going slack around his neck as he put you down and pressed his lips to yours in a short chaste kiss. He smiled against your cheek and spoke.

“More than satisfying.” He muttered against your skin sending goose bumps trailing across your flesh. “Much much more.”
