Chapter 6
Tumblr media
As the large group entered the carnival grounds, they were greeted by a grand entrance adorned with whimsical decorations. The air is filled with the enticing aroma of freshly popped popcorn, cotton candy, and sizzling hot dogs. Laughter and the sound of children's delight can be heard all around.
Strolling through the carnival, they encountered a myriad of attractions. There are classic rides like the Ferris wheel, spinning people high above the ground, offering breathtaking views of the entire carnival. The roller coasters race through thrilling loops and twists, eliciting screams and cheers from the brave riders.
Nearby, Ari found the enchanting carousel, its painted horses bobbing up and down to the melodies of a cheerful calliope and from Aurora's expression on her face, the short bubbly ghoulette wanted a turn immediately despite not being a child as she watched as children's laughter fills the air as they joyfully ride their favorite horses, parents proudly capturing these precious moments as they circled the safety gate.
Somewhere down the lane, the woman spotted various games of skill and chance, where you can try your hand at knocking down targets with a baseball, shooting hoops to win a prize, or popping balloons with darts which Dew and Phantom were betting on who could win the most from those kinds of games. Despite the rough start to the morning, the excitement builds as Ari and the ghouls watch the guests all around them as they compete with friends or family, cheering each other on and celebrating victories with gleeful shouts making the ghouls itch to try; she'd almost believe they've never been to a carnival before but the more she thought about it the more she realized...they probably hadn't or at least not in a very long time making her determined to salvage this day before they had to go perform.
"Let's keep looking around before we decide to go do anything; this place is huge."
Ari gently grabbed Mountain's arm who was standing by watching as a vibrant parade of street performers. Acrobats, jugglers, and magicians captivate the crowd with their astonishing tricks and stunts. She can't help but be amazed by their skills just as much as the peers; it had been such a long time since she'd gone to anything like this - not since she was a little girl.
But not only was this place huge and filled with delightful games to try their hands at Ari had to compel Rain and Aurora from the carnival's plentiful assortment of delicious treats and delicacies as they passed. From sugary funnel cakes dusted with powdered sugar to mouthwatering caramel apples and savory corn dogs, there's something to satisfy every craving she imagined and she knew these ghouls could pack one hell of a meal.
Finally pausing the group in a clear spot she examined their wide eyes and excited faces like toddlers having free range to their favorite toys and games, and well she couldn't help but smile too to see them so happy. Digging into her purse she grabbed a few envelopes handing each ghoul their own before holding up a finger.
"I already withdrew some cash from the ATM at the entrance while everybody was in line. You guys have $100 each to do as you please. Some of these games need tickets while others need actual money, so spend wisely; you can always go over there to that booth to buy more tickets if there is something you want to do that needs them as payment but until then here is this as well to help you along." she dug into her purse again and unraveled a roll up ring of red paper tickets and tore off 30 a piece of each of them.
"Ari~" Aurora clapped excitedly as she took them. "Thank you so much!" she smiled.
Ari returned it and nodded. "I know you guys don't have fun like kids very often so have at it. Just make sure to stay with the buddy system and call if you need anything. We have a few hours before we have to be on the road to the venue for sound check." she warned.
"You're the best!" the multi-ghoulette hugged her quickly before grabbing Cumulus and Cirrus by the arms to drag them away.
"I'm hitting the shooting game over there. You coming Phantom? I'll wipe your ass in a game." Swiss threw a thumb over his shoulder with a mischievous grin and Phantom returned it with a cocky one of his own.
"You wish, bitch. Bring it!" the pair walked off and Ari watched with amusement.
"If it's okay, I'm going to go grab a snack from one of the vendors! I don't think I've ever had a funnel cake before." Rain said biting his lip as he eyed the stand.
"Go have fun. Oh, and try those fried Oreos; they're pretty good too." Ari encouraged waving him off. Mountain ended up being dragged away by Rain as the water ghoul chatted his ear off about some sugary goodness.
That left Copia and Dewdrop with Ari. The former looked rather displeased and the latter bored as he stood with his arms crossed.
"What's that face for?" Ari sighed as she saw Copia staring down at the envelope of money and roll of tickets in his hand. But she already knew what he was going to say.
"This is a lot of money..."
"It is, but I don't mind. You pay more than enough to cover the balance." Ari replied before slanting a look at Dewdrop who was staring at the two with a look that screamed he was done with this topic.
"Copia...look." Ari sighed as she gently grabbed his arms; her face sincere and warm but resigned as she scanned his makeup-less face.
"I love you guys. And I promise I'm not breaking my bank account by spoiling you. I suppose my issue with your problem with me spending my money comes from a direction where someone dictated what I should use my money for. Your my friends and I want you guys to have fun; think outside the box and live a little every once in a while. I love the fact I can make the ghouls happy and hopefully make you happy too. Not just from my skill as a manager for you guys but as a friend. I feel as if you wrap yourself around work and tours that you've forgotten to have fun. When I took this job I promised you I would rather make memories and get to know you and the ghouls on a personal level - you guys are important to me and I want to make sure that you understand where I'm coming from so we don't have any more issue okay?" she searched his face as he said nothing for a long moment.
When she feared he may not say anything at all she finally noticed his shoulders slump and he nodded. "Si tesero. si. I understand." he finally replied and gave her a small smile before pulling her into a hug.
"Just don't think we want you to spend your time and money on us like this all the time."
Ari smiled hugging him back with a tight squeeze. "I won't do it all the time but this is what friends do for each other. And believe it or not...I don't have many." she peered up at him and he smiled slightly as he let her go.
"Alright then." he nodded before glancing up at one of the roller coasters.
The woman laughed a bit and nudged him. "Don't think I'm getting on one of those death traps. I'll mill around, maybe try my hand at getting Rain a goldfish or something." she chuckles. "Go enjoy yourself Papa."
He gave her a nod before heading away and the woman turned to Dewdrop with a raised brow. "What about you? What are you planning on doing?" she asked cocking her head before pointing over towards the stall Swiss and Phantom were gathering a crowd watching their competitive display.
"They seem like they are having some fun." she commented.
He watched her a long moment before he turned and pointed to the biggest attraction in the carnival - the Ferris wheel. She blinked at him before shrugging.
"Go on then."
"And leave you alone?" he snorted.
"I came here for you guys to enjoy yourself." Ari huffed playfully and plonked her butt onto a nearby bench behind them.
"You're part of this group, you deserve to have some fun too. Come on. It's boring to go on those things alone." Dew didn't wait for her reaction as he grabbed her wrist and dragged her back to her feet before heading for the ferris wheel line.
"Dew! I...I don't do heights." she hissed nervously looking up at the slowly turning wheel.
He smirked. "Scared?"
"Terrified." she wasn't even joking. Her hands were clammy and cold but she didn't miss the way Dewdrop seemed to sidle closer to her; his long guitarist fingers rubbing along the exposed skin of her wrist where he held it whether consciously or subconsciously at his gesture helped soothe her a little bit.
When it came time for them to board she gripped the railings so tightly her knuckles turned white and she stared down at her feet; a small whimper escaped her when the basket jolted upwards inch by inch when others went on below them.
"Hey, look. You are missing the best part." Dewdrop nudged her and she peeked an eye open at him to give him a glare.
"I rather not have a panic attack thank you very much I'm good staring at my feet." she hissed
The fire ghoul rolled his eyes at her and leaned back on the bench as he stared out at the view as they climbed higher in the sky. He could hear her muttering to herself; giving herself a pep talk to calm down - it kind of amused him seeing her so fragile for once and he found himself staring more at Ari than at the view.
And without thinking; he acted.
"Hey, Ari."
At the sound of his voice, the woman turned to look at him only to have a hand grip her jaw and pull her closer. Before she could even blink or take a breath she felt soft lips pressing against her own. Her eyes widened in shock when her brain slowly caught up with her to realize Dewdrop was kissing her.
It wasn't something she expected. Wasn't something she imagine ever to happen but her body reacted and her eyes slid closed of their own accord and she leaned into him; her fingers leaving the railing in favor of gripping his T-shirt to pull him closer until suddenly she lay on her back with him hovering over her.
The kiss had started innocently enough. Just a press of lips against each other but something sparked the longer the contact lasted and before she knew it his lips parted; guiding her own to do the same until she felt the wet glide of his tongue sliding into her mouth to meet her own tentative one. One long kiss turned into two and from there, her mind went hazy as her arms wrapped around his neck to hold him closer as his mouth moved against hers.
She didn't even register that she was high up in the sky right now in a metal bucket overlooking the view of the carnival as she felt her body heat up whether from her own reaction to the kiss or from Dewdrop's inhuman body heat as he pressed closer; his entire body - lean but strong pinned her down to the cushion of the bench as his lips tore from hers to trail along her jawline making her breath hitch as she felt him place wet open mouth kisses along her neck; his fingers leaving the grip they had on her waist to yank down the collar of her turtle neck sweater to give him more access to her pale skin.
"D-Dew..." she gripped the back of his shirt with trembling fingers.
The sound of her voice seemed to pull them both from the haze of whatever the hell this was and the man pulled back to look down at her; his blue eyes - so human unlike the orange glow of hellfire she was used to stared down at her with a look that was foggy and unfocused; she probably didn't look any better either as she stared back up at him with glassy half lidded eyes.
"Fuck." he cursed as he pulled himself from above her leaving her suddenly cold from the lack of his body's warmth as he took his place on the farthest side of the bench away from her and running his fingers through his long hair.
"Shit Ari. I'm sorry...I just..." he cleared his throat watching as she slowly got up off her back and pulled her shirt that had ridden up from his roaming hands back down to cover herself and fixed her hair.
"It's okay..." she swallowed looking away from him and out the window realizing they were descending back to the ground.
The cabin was filled with awkwardness as it finally stopped moving and the door opened to reveal the attendant who allowed them off the ferris wheel. Ari didn't look at anybody; afraid that if she did they'd be able to tell right away what had happened up there; but what had really happened? What was that all about anyway? She couldn't wrap her head around it.
When they got off; feet firmly planted on the ground once more a flood of relief rushed through her when she spotted Cumulus and Cirrus back at the spot they'd split up at and without a word rushed towards them with quick steps feeling her heart pounding in her chest.
"Hey, enjoying the fair?" she asked trying to put a smile on her face.
"Definitely! Want some?" Cirrus held out a stick of cotton candy she and Cumulus were sharing.
"Oh, thanks!" Ari grabbed a chunk of the fluffy candy floss and popped it into her mouth; sighing when it melted on her tongue with its sugary taste.
"Man it's been so long since I've had this stuff." she pulled off another small chunk; nibbling on it idly with her teeth as she caught the sight of Dew passing to join Mountain and Rain who were at the goldfish stand as the Earth Ghoul tried to win his packmate a little friend.
"What's that look for honey?" Cumulus touched Ari's shoulder making her jump in surprise not realizing she'd been staring so hard.
"Hmm? Oh, I'm fine!" the smile on her face was fake as fuck and she knew the women didn't buy it.
Seemingly understanding something the ghoulette's pulled Ari away from the earshot of their packmates and headed for a little merch stall to browse some cute items.
"What happened? Did Dew say something? We saw you guys get off the Ferris wheel together." Cumulus murmured as she browsed through some T-shirts.
"Dew kissed me." the manager blurted out causing the others to turn their heads so hard she was afraid they'd snap their spines.
"He did what?!" Cirrus gaped.
Ari covered her face with her hands and let out a shuddered breath. "Dew...kissed me." her gaze met the others as she lifted a hand to touch her lips as realization dawned on her face.
"And I think...I think I like it."

BNHA Team Up Mission Spin-Off Manga Chapter 9 Summary Translation
Tumblr media
The Boku No Hero Academia TEAM UP MISSION manga Chapter 9 follows Bakugou, Todoroki, and Kirishima as they team up with Shiketsu's Camie to act in a stage play at a theme park. The chapter is really hilarious and lighthearted. 
The title of the chapter is “That’s Totally Overdoing the Illusion!”
Here's the entire chapter summary! Enjoy~
Boku No Hero Academia TEAM UP MISSION
By Akiyama Youkou
Chapter 9 That’s Totally Overdoing the Illusion!
The chapter starts off with Bakugou, Kirishima, and Todoroki on a Team Up Mission at a theme park called “Future World.” They arrive at the theme park and Kirishima says the theme park is amazing. Todoroki notes that it’s really big, and Bakugou says, “Whatever, it’s just for kids.” They then are approached by Camie, who says, “Omg no way! U.A. is like, here too??”
Camie says “I’m like so totally excited to be meeting up with some hotties again, like woah!”
Tumblr media
Bakugou says he has no idea what the hell Camie is saying, and Kirishima exclaims, “Oh! It’s a Shiketsu student from the Provisional Hero License Exam!” Kirishima proceeds to introduce himself in his intense manner, and Camie says that he kinda acts like Inasa.
Tumblr media
It turns out that the Team Up Mission requires U.A. Academy to team up with Shiketsu at the amusement park to assist the staff with something. They meet up with the CEO of the park to figure out what exactly he needs help on. The CEO is a tiny man with a large mustache dressed up like a jester.
Tumblr media
The CEO asks them to follow him to another side of the park, called Retro Land. This theme park is a run-down and old looking traditional theme park with barely any customers. The CEO of the theme park says that he brought them here to take part in a stage play to attract more customers.
Tumblr media
He hands them a script, which is about a town being attacked by villains. The heroes show up and fight the villains, and the heroes end up in a pinch. However, with the help of the citizens cheering them on, the heroes are able to restore peace back to the city.
Tumblr media
Kirishima hears the outline of the play and gets excited, saying it’s such an awesome mainstream story. Bakugou scoffs and says, “but it’s damn basic.” Kirishima then says, “Nah, I like it!”
The students then go into a rehearsal of the scene where the heroes are in a pinch. One of the professional actresses, a Dog Lady wearing a skull choker, low v-neck vest, studded belt, and long pants, says, “Oh you guys are actually heroes? Then you probably haven’t acted before?”
Kirishima then tries to do his best acting, saying “Gahh…I’m…strong….guhhh I won’t…fall down…I’ll never turn my back…because I….I….!!!” and overdoes his acting.
Camie then says “Like holy crap the Villain blindsided me, and now I’m on the floor like discarded bubble tea!”
Todoroki just falls onto the floor silently. Bakugou tries acting, screaming “I WILL NEVER FALL TO THE LIKES OF A VILLAIN!” The Dog Lady actress asks them if they were actually even trying to act, and they all say they were doing their best. The Dog Lady says she’s a bit worried about how this will go.
In either case, they need to decide which role everyone will be taking part. The Dog Lady instructs them to decide among themselves who will get what role.
Bakugou and Camie both say at the same time they want to be the lead Hero role. Camie says, “Wait, but I’m older than you so I totally should be the lead Hero role!” Bakugou gets mad and screams, “BUT I AM THE STRONGEST ONE HERE. BESIDES, I AM Q.E.D.!**”
Camie says “Damn yo, that’s the lowest of the low” and Bakugou yells, “Shut the hell up and speak your mother tongue, damnit!”
Kirishima tries to calm him saying, “Calm down guys, Camie-senpai too…!” He then notices that Todoroki is looking at a child’s playground bear spring rider, and Kirishima asks, “Oh, do you want to ride it? The staff did say we could enjoy the park as much as we’d like!” Kirishima mentions that they never really had a chance to go to a theme park ever since entering High School, and being at a theme park feels nostalgic as it brings back memories of his childhoold.
Todoroki then says, “No…I don’t have any memories of ever going to a theme park.”
Camie looks at Todoroki and says, “Uh, like no way?”
Kirishima then grabs Todoroki and says, “WELL IF THAT’S THE CASE…JUST PRACTICING OUR LINES WILL GET STALE, SO LET’S ENJOY THE THEME PARK!” and rides the bear spring rider together with Todoroki.
Camie wants to join them too, and she, Kirishima, and Todoroki go on a carousel while Bakugou gets irritated. Camie is taking a picture for Kirishima and Todoroki on her cellphone while Kirishima calls out to Bakugou saying, “Heeyyy! Bakugou, come join us!”
Bakugou scoffs, “Hmph, waste of time.”
Kirishima, Todoroki, and Camie then ride a roller coaster together and Kirishima shouts, “It’s fun you know!”
Bakugou says, “This is no time to be playing with these stupid toys…!”
Kirishima then grins and says to Bakugou “All right then, if that’s the case, let’s decide who gets the lead Hero hero role by seeing who can get the least dizzy from the tea cup ride!” This piques Bakugou’s interest, and Kirishima further taunts him saying, “If you’re not confident about it, then you don’t gotta force yourself!”
This gets Bakugou fired up and he says, “I’m going to spin this shit and kill all of you guys!!!!!!!” He sits in the tea cup next to Kirishima, Camie, and Todoroki and spins it like crazy. Camie looks like she’s going to throw up and says, “Wait…Bakugou…you’re like, turning it way too fast!”
Bakugou looks at Kirishima and taunts, “HOW IS IT!? YOU DON’T LOOK SO GOOD. GONNA GIVE UP YET!?” and Kirishima yells back, “YOU MUST BE JOKING! NOT EVEN CLOSE! TURN IT UP!!”
Bakugou then screams, “PLUS ULTRAAAAAA!!!” as he spins the cup so fast it looks as if they are not moving at all. Camie squeaks “Helllaaaaaaa…”
After they get off the ride, Bakugou, Kirishima, and Camie are wobbling around and walking unevenly, with Kirishima accidentally heading towards the direction of the girl’s bathroom in his dizzy state and Camie about to throw up on the floor. Bakugou sways and proudly points at no one, saying “You bastard, you’re all dizzy!”
Kirishima says, “Guh…did…didja see that, Bakug….erghh!” Camie says she’s going to hurl. Todoroki asks, “Uh, where are you guys even going?”
Kirishima then notices that Todoroki is completely unphased, and he asks “Todoroki…you’re okay!?” Todoroki responds, “I feel a bit uneasy…”
With that, it’s decided that Todoroki gets the lead Hero role. They then head back to the stage, and there’s a few people in the audience already as well as two camera men who will be filming this performance and uploading it online later.
All the students are ready for their performance, and as they act out the first scene, a group of people corner the CEO and threaten him. The group are land developers who tell the CEO to give up Retro Land since it’s going out of business anyway. He grabs the CEO in a chokehold, but the CEO says he won’t hand over the park to these people.
As this is happening, Camie, Bakugou, Todoroki, and Kirishima go backstage after their first act. Camie says they can take a short break until the next scene. Kirishima remarks that the camera was focused a lot on him, but Bakugou says he’s pretty damn sure he was the one getting more spotlight.
As they walk backstage, they see the group of people threatening the CEO. Kirishima, Todoroki, and Bakugou easily take out these villains, but the villain tells the CEO that they had planted a trap at the roller coaster in Retro Land where a part of the roller coaster tracks were destroyed. The ride operators did not know this, and there’s currently a cart that will be falling off the roller coaster tracks soon. The villain mentions that no one would want to go to a theme park after hearing of such a bad accident. Kirishima realizes this and rushes first to the roller coaster ride.
Meanwhile, Camie is wondering what to do because their break is over, and they’re due to be on stage again. Since the boys are dealing with the villains, she decides to create illusions of all of them and wing the performance off script with her illusion versions of Bakugou, Todoroki, and Kirishima.
She recreates the pretty boy Todoroki illusion, who turns to the Dog Lady, who’s playing the role of the villain, and says, “Won’t you…please stop being a villain? You should become a Hero instead!” and the Dog Lady blushes and immediately falls for it, saying “YES…!”
Since Camie can’t access the script right now, she just decides to ad lib everything and make up a new story. She makes the Illusion Kirishima turn out to be the actual villain of the story, and the camera men who are in the audience wonder what happened to the original script.
On the other side of the park, Kirishima is already on top of the roller coaster tracks and uses his hardening to stop the oncoming roller coaster cart. He tries to stop it but the cart still keeps going.
Bakugou then comes behind him and steps on his back, and Kirishima looks back and says “Bakugou!”
The guy on the front seat of the ride screams “Why are there two people [on the tracks]!?”
Bakugou says that there’s not enough manpower to stop the roller coaster. He places one hand on Kirishima’s back to support him while using his other hand to set off a huge explosion, propelling them forward to nullify the movement of the roller coaster cart.
Back at the stage, Camie is doing her best trying to improv the play. Her Illusion Villain Kirishima gloats that he will fulfill his revenge. The Illusion Todoroki cries out, “No! Please stop this fight!” while a very quiet and calm looking Bakugou places his hand on Illusion Todoroki’s shoulder.
The real Bakugou and Kirishima are still trying to stop the roller coaster cart from going further, and Kirishima hugs the front of the roller coaster as Bakugou continues to use his explosion to stop the cart. They finally successfully stop the coaster, and Kirishima falls back in relief, showing a dent in the front of the roller coaster cart in the shape of his body.
Just as they saved the roller coaster cart, Camie was finished with the play as well. The two camera men who were filming the play were so moved they started crying at how good the play was. One of the camera men mentions that he wants to bring this Hero Stage play around the entire country because it was so moving.
The resolution scene shows the Illusion Villain Kirishima shaking hands with the Illusion Quiet Bakugou with the closing line, “And with that, the hero that looked the most like a Villain was able to open the actual Villain’s heart and let him turn a new leaf.”
The crowd cheers as Illusion Bakugou and Illusion Villain Kirishima continue to shake hands.
At the roller coaster, Todoroki assists the people in the roller coaster cart off the tracks by using his ice to create an emergency ladder. Kirishima then smiles at Camie and says, “Good work Camie-senpai! You did it!” Camie looks like she’s going to hurl again since she overused her quirk, saying “I feel hella sick…I like, overdid the illusions…hella…”
With that, the four students finish their training at the amusement park together. Later that week, the Retro Land Stage Play was uploaded onto a video streaming site, and the video got 1,200 likes and counting. The show was a hit online, and because of that, Retro Land’s popularity bounced back and more people started going to the theme park.
However, because of the stage play, Kirishima, Bakugou, and Todoroki also gained some new fans.
The last scene shows the two camera men hiding in the bushes with cameras while Bakugou, Todoroki, and Kirishima are walking.
Kirishima ask them, “Hey uh…do you guys get the feeling we’re being watched…?”
THE END!

on the way to nothing.
50 Wordless Ways to Say “I Love You”: 37. Making sure to be quiet while they’re taking a nap.
Pairing: Five Hargreeves x Reader
Word Count: 1,198 words
Warning: Mild swearing
Tumblr media
Every evening, the sunset reminds Five that the world has ended.
It’s a strange thing to watch in the aftermath of an apocalypse; even after three years, he still hasn’t gotten used to the sight. Maybe he’s just surprised that the Earth’s still turning – round and round and round, a carousel with only two riders. Behind the veil of dust and smoke, the sun glows red as it sinks, staining the sky in a haunting rust of grayish-yellows and blood orange.
Dragging his supply wagon behind him, Five squints forward into the garish horizon and frowns. “It’ll be dark soon,” he says, pulling his scarf over his mouth and nose as a gust of wind picks up dust.
Beside him, you nod. Your own wagon clanks and rattles behind you, less filled with food and water than it had been this morning. “I still don’t see the town.”
He looks down at the faded roadmap in his hands. “We have about thirteen miles to go. Our best bet is to keep walking until we reach it, while it’s getting cooler.” As he speaks, the sun dips lower and lower. No matter. Both your eyes and his will adjust. “It’ll be easier than walking in one-hundred-degree weather tomorrow.”
“… Yeah, that’s a good idea,” you agree.
Your tone, however, makes Five stop and look over at you. You stop in return but don’t meet his gaze, staring instead at the dry emptiness ahead.
“Something wrong?” he prompts.
As if snapped out of a trance, you shake your head quickly. “No. I’m fine, I just –” you jerk your wagon forward again – “I’m just a little tired, that’s all. Let’s go.”
Eyes narrowing, Five quickly catches up and grabs your shoulder. You don’t shake him off. “Hey. If you need a break, we can take one right now and still get there before sunrise.”
You shake your head again. “No,” you insist, “I can keep going until –”
“No, you can’t. Cut the crap,” he retorts. You have a habit of sugarcoating your complaints – something he learned the hard way a few days after meeting you – and he isn’t having any of that today. “Look, take a nap or something and I’ll wake you up when it’s time to go. Deal?”
You grow quiet. Then, finally meeting his eyes, you sigh and nod. “Deal. Thanks.”
“Don’t thank me.”
“Then I take it back,” you reply dryly. Five rolls his eyes.
Your shoulder slips out from under his hand as you retrieve a tattered blanket and spare jacket from your wagon, then begin clearing out a space on the ground to lay down on. There’s nothing very meticulous about your work; over time, Five has learned that you can fall asleep quickly and nearly anywhere – convenient for the post-apocalyptic life. It’s like your body takes any chance it can to escape this hell.
Soon enough, you’re satisfied with the arrangement and lie down, hands tucked behind your head. There’s a chunk of space left on one side and Five is surprised when you say his name, reaching down to pat the vacant spot.
“You can sit,” you say, voice soft. The sun is now gone, leaving the darkening sky a chalky, brownish gray that deepens the shadows on your face. (Soon he won’t be able to read your eyes.)
Five obliges silently and sits at the edge next to your legs. Only then does the fatigue from a day’s worth of walking hit him, his sore feet suddenly relieved of work. Neither of you had really taken a break since this afternoon, too focused on finding another place with food and water. It makes him wonder how tired you actually are.
“[Y/n] –” he starts, but closes his mouth when he glances down and sees that your eyes are closed. When he listens, he hears the slowness of your breaths. Yeah, you’ve passed out already. That’s good.
Crossing his legs, Five takes a small sip of water from his canteen while he watches you sleep. Something about this moment, sitting so close to you for no discernable reason other than the fact that you had requested it, fills him with a strange sense of peace. A sense of normalcy.
It’s ridiculous, but it’s also not. You’re the most normal person he’s ever met – no powers, no special talents. Just an ordinary person who didn’t die along with literally everything else on the planet.
He had found that oddly comforting.
He wonders what it would have been like if your aunt hadn’t happened to have powers. You definitely wouldn’t have survived, and he would have landed in the apocalypse completely and utterly alone – nobody to tell him what had happened, nobody to scavenge and travel with. Nobody to talk to. Despite never being very social, Five knows that the solitude would have messed with his head. Running into you was the one good thing that came out of this hellhole.
Out of the blue, he notices how cool the air has gotten. As quietly as he can, Five stands up and goes over to his wagon, taking out his own blanket. He unfurls it carefully, then slinks back over to where you’re dozing. You’re a bit of a light sleeper, so he takes extra care not to be too hasty as he lays the blanket over you, pulling it up to your shoulders.
Suddenly, you shift. Five freezes as you curl up, burrowing under his blanket as you turn onto your side. Only when your breaths even out does he relax.
What the hell am I doing, he asks himself as he sits back. You could take care of yourself. He didn’t have to do that.
One of your hands peeks out past the edge of the blanket. After a moment of hesitation, Five reaches over and grasps your fingers gently, nudging them back under the cover. Your hand is very warm. He pushes that thought away much more quickly.
He’s not sure what he’ll do once he figures out how to get back. Logically, the best thing to do is to leave you here. Bringing you back to a time before you’re born, or even worse, when you have been born already, could complicate the timeline even more, so it’d be best to go alone.
But then you’d be alone.
Five continues to stare at you, trying to make out the minute details of your face in the darkness. He’s gotten attached to you. And sure, that’s fine for now – maybe even good – but farther down the line, it’s going to bite him in the ass. He’d never forgive himself for leaving you to die.
You probably would. You’re that much of an optimist.
“… Five? Should we go now?”
Your voice, hoarse and sleepy, causes him to shake his head and clear it enough to respond. “Ten more minutes. Go back to sleep,” he murmurs, patting your shoulder once.
“Oh, thank goodness.”
Within seconds of saying that, you drowse off again. Five shuts his eyes and releases an inaudible sigh, then opens them again to look up at the black, starless sky. Goddammit.
He hopes you’ll understand when he goes.

This week's Saber X Zenkaiger!!!!!
I haven't been doing reviews lately 'cause after I get through 90% of one something happens and it all get's erased somehow and I end up just giving up. So let's hope I can get this done without that happening.
Saber Chapter Special!!!:
asdilfjlasjdfjsiejfl;sjef!!!!! This ep was SO MUCH FUN!!!! Not only is it a PERFECT intro/introduction to what to expect for the crossover film, but I just LOVE that they chose ZOX of all Zenkaiger Charas to be the one to introduce the Bookstore gang to the World of Zenkaiger! Zox just naturally fit right in with the mess and made the plot really smooth! It felt like just another Saber ep with a bit of Kaizoku spizzaz! Also, I knew that Mashiko Atsuki and Aoki Ryo knew each other 'cause of TeniMyu (Not sure if that's how you spell it) so that just makes the connection between their characters way more interesting and cool! (Also, Watching Zox on Zenkaigers always made me think that he was tall, but then seeing him stand next to the giants in Saber just.... I'm sorry I just can't get over how small he looks. He's so cute!!!!) I also loved how they made Zox have no qualms about stealing from Touma and Ryoga. I mean, he did only promise Kaito that he wouldn't steal in the Zenkaiger world so~ XD Another thing! I really loved how we got to see more of Kento's personality in this ep! Honestly, ever since he was introduced, he never really showed much personality outside of him being calm, smiling while doing the book skits with Touma, angry, emo, and in despair. In this ep, we got to see him reading a book, laughing with Touma because of Rintaro and Zox, dumbfounded because of Touma's mistake, trying to be a peace maker and save Touma from Ryoga's wrath due to said mistake, get mad at Orihime World for hurting Mei, be stern with Zox when he believed that Zox stole their WRBs (which, NGL, was really hot), and cutely pet the carousel horse he was riding while going "yoshi yoshi~~~". As you can tell, a lot of my attention is focused on Kento now a days and I just LIVE for learning more about this man's personality. Should I write a separate post about it??? Let me know ya'll!
Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger wa!!!!!!!!!:
again! ajdklfjalsdjfwjefklejfl;waf!!!!! This ep makes me officially love the Shindai siblings! Honestly, it feels like a special atonement mini-arc for them. We got to learn more about them personality wise, and we got to see them interact with people that they most likely NEVER imagined spending time with. Which, honestly I think is awesome because they learned from the Zenkaigers something that they'll probably never forget! Reika finally made a real friend in Magine (which would be so cool if she could become friends with Mei due to this!) (and I'm also so happy for Raika's actress for finally meeting and interacting with Magine!) and Ryoga learned that he can't always protect or think that Reika can't handle herself/isn't strong enough to fight with him. (I also think he learned what it's really like to be a true "big brother" ) Also, I LIVED for Ryoga's reactions to the Zenkaigers! See, this kind of goofiness is what I love. We have the stoic older brother who's always serious and ready to fight, interacting with these colorful, wacky goofballs full of fun. This is the kind of mix that I absolutely LOVE. Especially when they end up having to fight together. Just, that moment where Kaito and the rest were like "Dude! why aren't you doing your rollcall???? Are you shy? C'mon! it's easy! Just say who you are!" As if every single TokuHero does a long rollcall before every battle. And then Ryoga begrudgingly doing it anyway 'cause his new (he'll never admit to this but-) 'friends' have been right so far, so why not join in. And Reika joining Magine in the rollcall 'cause she's the only female Saber Rider and this moment is like every Sentai crossover where they have all the female Rangers fight together with 'girl power!' just, omg their collab fight was so cool!!!!
Alright, enough of the Shindai sibling (sadly) now for the Zenkaigers!!! I LOVED how they were introduced to the Shindai Siblings! Kaito and Juran were just running around, looking for Magine when they literally ran between Ryoga and Reika about to attack Zox. And, instead of questioning why Zox was about to get attacked by these unknown people, or even ask where Zox has been for the past few days, they just start asking Zox if he's seen Magine. And Zox is just like "Dude, I've just came back from a parallel world, there's no way I would've seen her." Just, omgosh I love Zox. And then when Ryoga finally attacks, Kaito's just like "Zox!!!! WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO?!?!" instantly knowing that it's Zox's fault they're in this new mess. One main thing that I loved about this ep was how we see more of Zox's personality (I just love analyzing personalities ok?) ok, hear me out. I know there are times where we see Zox get protective of Flint and the twins when they're in trouble, or worried about them if they're in danger. But I feel like this is the first real time we see him actually... I don't know what word to use... not really admit but... maybe a mix of show and admit about how much he loves and cherishes them? He tried to be nonchalant about it in front of Ryoga, but then when he get's back on his ship, he not only looks worried about Flint, but also SOUNDS worried. I love this 'cause it says a lot about Zox I think. Like, out of all the characters in Zenkaiger, Zox knows what it's like to not have been able to protect some one and regret it (his brothers) and I think he's scared that Flint might suffer the same fate too in a way if he's not careful. Plus, the older brother combi-finisher was really awesome!
Over all, I'm soooooooooo happy that they gifted us with these amazing special eps!!!!!! Even though they just make me want to watch the crossover film even more, I'm so happy that we get to be blessed with these preview interactions! I wonder how they'll tie these in with the film though.... will Touma and the rest recognize Zox in the film?? Will Kaito and the Kikainoids see Ryoga again and be all like "Ryoga!!! long time no see!!" and just completely shock the Saber team when Ryoga greets them back as if he was actually happy to see them again? (omgosh that'd be so cool!) Anyway, sorry that this was so long. I just had a lot of thoughts about these eps and I really wanted to share them! Also, can we keep the "why are you dancing?!" skit for Zox in the movie? Or like, actually have Zox reply to Rintaro or Kento if they ask? or would that be too lame.... hmm.... I just want more of that content~~~~
What did ya'll think about these eps? I'd love to know!

hehe @fruity-dean i wrote the first lil part and @romano-hottopic i saw in the notes that if someone wrote it you wanted to be tagged so here :)
pairings: moceit and eventually prinxiety
warnings: ask to tag
based off this post
~
“You ever realize that Janus and Patton would probably be good as a couple?” Roman asked.
He and Virgil were just sitting on the couch. Nothing had prompted this question, but Virgil found himself thinking.
“I mean, kinda.” He answered. 
The two were definitely dynamic. Patton was very soft and fluffy, figuratively speaking, while Janus was, well, the opposite. Patton cared about people, Janus not so much. Patton loved sweets, Janus didn’t care for them. Patton was very affectionate, Janus was not. You get it, right?
Roman gasped and looked at Virgil. “We should set them up!” 
Virgil shut off his phone to ponder the idea. I mean, they definitely could. It wouldn’t be hard, just ask them to go places then bail and leave them together. Yea sounds do-able.
“Yes,” Virgil said, pointing at Roman. “But when?”
Roman scoffed. “Oh, that’s easy. Now.” 
Virgil sputtered. “Now?” He sounded surprised. 
Roman laughed. “Yes, now! What better time?” He said, spreading his arms out and doing a little spin like he was basking in something. 
Virgil rolled his eyes. 
“A better time for what?” Patton asked.
Roman and Virgil looked at each other and nodded. 
“The amusement park!” Roman smiled. “Me and Vee we’re just about to go. Wanna come?”
Virgil nodded. “Yeah, you can bring someone if you want.” 
Patton clapped excitedly. “Oooh, yay! I’ll go get Jan and ask him!”
After Patton had left to retrieve Janus, Virgil and Roman quietly celebrated. 
“Oh my god, that actually worked!” Virgil exclaimed. 
“Yeah! It did!” Roman nodded. 
The two waited for Janus and Patton to enter. Patton was wearing a variation of what he usually wears, a light blue t-shirt and khaki pants. Janus was wearing something more casual, a black t-shirt with a yellow pocket and trim, a black jean jacket, and black ripped jeans. He went without a hat. 
Virgil wore his regular outfit, a dark purple t-shirt with his classic hoodie and black skinny jeans. Roman wore a red t-shirt and a tan corduroy jacket with light blue jeans. 
They walked out the door and started walking towards the park. Janus and Patton walked ahead, leaving Virgil and Roman slightly behind them. 
“This park has one of those ‘Tunnel of Love’ rides, right?” Virgil asked.
Roman thought for a moment. “Yeah, I’m like 96% percent sure they do.” 
Virgil nodded and looked at Roman, who was smiling stupidly. 
They purchased 4 tickets and proceeded to wander around the park. 
After they had gone on a few rides, including the ferris wheel, a carousel per Patton’s begging (“Look at the horsies!!”), and the bumper cars, they had stopped for some drinks and snacks. They ordered funnel cake and lemonade.  
“Oh look! One of those scary ‘Tunnel of Love’ rides!” Roman exclaimed, pointing to a ride across from them. Most Tunnel of Love rides were sweet and romantic, but some weren’t. The purpose of the not-so-romantic ones were to scare the riders and make them cling to each other, and if Roman and Virgil knew anything about Patton, it's that he scares easily, and Janus doesn’t. 
Patton smiled. “It is! We should all go one together!” 
Janus let out a small laugh. “It would be interesting. Sure.”
The three of them piled into the semi-long line for the ride and waited.
About 5 minutes into the wait, Patton tapped on Roman’s shoulder. 
“Uh, Jan said his stomach hurts. Do you guys mind if we sit this ride out?”
Virgil looked at Roman, and they both seemed to understand the same thing:
They would have to go on this ride themselves. Patton and Janus would be incredibly suspicious if the two also decided not to go on, and would realize they were trying to set them up. But, if Roman and Virgil did go, no one would be suspicious and their plan would be somewhat intact. 
Roman smiled. “Yeah, that’s fine!” 
Virgil laughed nervously and nodded. “Tell Janus we hope he feels better.” 
Patton smiled and apologized before leading a supposedly sick Janus in the direction of the restrooms. 
Virgil and Roman stood in line awkwardly. 
“Maybe we could dash at the last moment? I really don’t want to go on this ride.” Roman shifted his feet. Surprisingly, scary things, well, scared him. Real bad. 
Virgil turned to Roman with a smug look on his face. “Oh? Did I just hear that Big Strong Princey is scared of a wittle wide?” Virgil said, despite the death stare from Roman.
Roman just rolled his eyes. “A little, yea! It’s all dark and there are jumpscares and stuff. It’s scary!” He said, a small shiver showing through the shudder of his shoulders.
Virgil playfully punched him in the arm. “I’m just teasing. I won’t tell anyone.”
Roman sighed, annoyed.
“Next!” The ticket person shouted.
The two stepped onto their cart. A few glances were thrown at them and the two realized they were the only two gays on this ride.
The boat lurched forward. Roman was already nervous and was fidgeting with his jacket sleeves. Virgil tried calming him down to no avail. 
They were only 2 minutes into the ride and Roman had already latched onto Virgil’s arm. With every little noise that came from behind them, hell even in front of them, Roman let out a small whimper. Virgil laughed quietly, only to hear a small insult followed by another shriek coming from his sweatshirt sleeve. 
Virgil found the ride quite amusing, if he could look past the shivering being next to him. The animatronics were mediocre but the scenery was nice in a way. It had spooky trees and a light fog coming from a distant fog machine. The lighting was sharp purple's and green's.
The boat pulled into the clearing at the end of the ride. Virgil shook Roman’s shoulder. 
“Hey scaredy cat, the rides over.” He said.
Roman lifted his head and looked around. He cleared his throat and adjusted his jacket before stepping out of the ride. Virgil laughed and followed him off the cart.
The two wandered around the park, stopping at small snack stands and petting peoples dogs until they found Patton and Janus sitting on a bench. They were having a small conversation and both seemed to be enjoying themselves.
"Oh, Roman!" Janus said upon seeing him. He waved to both of them.
"So how was the ride?" Patton asked.
Virgil laughed as Roman shuddered.
"Never again." He said.
Virgil smiled. "Ol' Princey here is scared of the dark."
Roman gasped and hit Virgil softly on the shoulder. "You said you wouldn't tell!"
Virgil's smug look returned. "Well, I lied."
Roman smiled and rolled up his sleeves.
"You little-" He attempted to tackle Virgil but in reality he just looked like he was trying to hug an angry cat as Virgil kept swatting at him trying to get him off him. Both of them were laughing.
"Oh c'mon. Don't kill eachother yet." Janus said.
The two stopped fighting, if that's what you want to call it, and sat down on the bench next to Janus and Patton.
"So, you feeling better?" Roman asked.
Janus was confused for a second before responding.
"Oh! Right. Yeah, I'm fine. It's just that funnel cake doesn't sit to well with me."
"Ah," Virgil said.
There was a comfortable silence before Patton spoke up.
"I'm pretty tired. If you guys are ready to go home?"
"Sure! That ride really tuckered me out." Roman said.
"Yeah, I'm sure all the screaming wasted your energy." Virgil muttered.
Roman stuck his tounge out at him.
The four of them chatted on the way home. It was relatively dark and the air around them was getting a bit cold.
"Oh darn, I forgot a jacket." Patton said, rubbing his bare arms for warmth.
"I told you to bring a jacket." Janus said, taking off his own. "But I guess you can borrow mine."
Patton giggled and put on the jacket. The two walked fairly close to eachother and if it had been a little brighter, Virgil and Roman might have seen Janus's arm around Patton's lower back.

What Happens At Disney Part 3/3
Tumblr media
I know that all of the details aren’t completely accurate to the parks but please enjoy the final installment
Part 1 here//Part 2 here
The Disney workers were so glad that Tony and Bruce fixed the ride that they gave you all free fast passes and you got to skip the line. “You are all welcome. You’re welcome!” Tony was waving and loudly calling out to the crowds. You rolled your eyes at how he always felt the need to fuel his ego but decided against giving him another one of your talks since he had indeed fixed the ride.
The Seven Dwarfs Mine Train was a two person seater ride so naturally you pulled Nat up to the very front to sit next to you. Steve and Clint sat behind you followed by Bruce and Thor, who was very adamant about not letting the workers touch him when they went to pull down the safety bars. Tony got pushed to the back because, truthfully, no one wanted to sit next to him because he wouldn’t shut up about the fact that he had repaired the ride and everyone apparently “owed him,” but he just took it as an opportunity to fill up the entire car by himself. As you were all getting on they called to see if there were any single riders that could sit next to Tony, to which he protested saying that he could sue anyone that accidentally touched his suit, but changed his mind when the first single rider that raised their hand to volunteer turned out to be a very tall, slim, and tan blonde woman wearing super tight booty shorts and a thread of fabric around her chest that you guessed was supposed to be her shirt. “I’ll allow it,” he stated and the bubbly blonde giggled as she sat down and Tony put his arm around her shoulder.
It was a kid’s ride so there weren’t exactly drops big enough to make those butterflies in your stomach fly around at that zero-gravity-like feeling, but you still smiled and laughed as the carts twisted and turned up and down the little hills. Soon you rode into a cave filled with glowing gems and those weird animatronic animals that probably hadn’t been updated since Steve’s time. You all began to slow down as the various forest animals and dwarfs came to life with the music. The creepy glowing eyes of the deer weren’t easy to look over though. Nat made a sour face seeing how robotic they all moved, but you were having an absolute blast. 
CLINK! A high pitched ring sounded throughout the cave, echoing off of the walls. It made the poor blonde girl that got put next to Tony almost jump out of her seat. If it weren’t for the safety bars she probably would’ve gone off the side. 
“WHAT THE HELL, THOR?!” you screamed at him when you turned around and saw him smashing his hammer into the fake gems and diamonds that were encrusted into the walls.
“You said this was a mine! I’m just trying to get points any way that I can!” he retorted while Bruce had his hands in his head from the headache all of the noise was giving him. 
“No, this isn’t that kind of ride, Thor. It is not interactive,” he looked disappointed as you explained it to him and he was silent for the rest of the ride, which was pretty uneventful (meaning that no more property was damaged) except for Clint teasing Steve with questions about what it was like to watch the movie when it first premiered.
After the ride you thought that it would be fun to go visit attractions that the rest of your friends would be interested in. For Clint you headed over to the Toy Story Midway Mania interactive ride where you got spun around a giant toy room and got to shoot various targets and plates. You knew that you were no match for his marksmanship skills, but had fun with the target practice anyway. It wasn’t hard to enjoy yourself when Clint was so into it. He was screaming at Woody, Buzz, and Jessie as they were trying to explain how to work the shooters. “Let us shoot already, damnit!” he yelled in frustration before going on to break all of the high scores.
Steve’s request for a ride was very simple and sweet, much like the person he was. The only thing he really wanted to do at Disney was go on the carousel so you headed back to the Magic Kingdom. It’s not that he didn’t enjoy the other rides, but back in his time the only rollercoasters he got to ride were at Coney Island and were all made out of wood. He just didn’t really understand the concept of interactive rides or super scary thrill ones either. At the carousel you were glad to wind down the pace a little bit and go old school as you all got on your own horses and the ride stirred on with the classic amusement park music.
You had also snuck a bag of popcorn on with you and were going back and forth between throwing pieces up in the air at Thor, Steve, and Clint who tried to catch them in their mouths. It was a little difficult since you were all constantly moving up and down and at different levels, but in the end Clint ended up catching the most. 
“Well gentlemen, it has been a pleasure,” he said upon the conclusion of the ride.
“Barton, you are lucky that most of the pieces simply ended up caught in my hair rather than my mouth,” Thor commented as he was picking those same pieces off from his head. “But on any other occasion, I would have bested you.”
“Sure, buddy,” Clint laughed.
You and Nat gave each other a meaningful look and you both laughed at how annoying the boys were being. “You know, I could make this thing go ten times faster if you just give me five minutes with it,” Tony pestered one of the workers trying to get him to let him touch the controls. 
“Tony, please, not again,” Bruce moaned and pulled at his sleeve trying to get him away from the obviously intimidated cast members. 
“C’mon! I could make it go in reverse too! At least let me change the lights and the music. It could be disco themed! Bruce, I know you love disco.”
“No disco, Tony.”
“YOU CAN’T KILL DISCO!”
“You already tricked out one ride which is enough for today, Handy Manny,” you kill his hopes of messing with anything else right then and there.
“IN THE NAME OF DISCO-”
“TONY, SHE SAID NO!”
“Hey, settle down,” Steve hushed the two squabbling scientist. “There’s a show going on.” In front of the carousel entrance where a fairly large but somewhat unnoticeable rock laid with what appeared to be the handle of a sword sticking out of it, a cast member in purple robes and a giant gray beard was twirling around and gathering all of the little children around him.
“Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls of all ages, which one of you thinks that they are worthy enough to pull this sword out of its stone?” A little boy around the age of 6 wearing a Toy Story cap that looked like Rex the green dinosaur was just about to wrap his hands around the handle when he was suddenly pushed out of the way.
“I am worthy! I AM WORTHY!” Thor yelled which made a couple of babies in strollers automatically start crying. “Hah. Mortals watch and see how a god wields his weapon!”
“Dear Lord, not again,” Nat groaned.
“Hmmmmpffffff!” Thor began pulling but to no avail. “NO, I AM WORTHY,” he told himself and then tried shifting the sword back and forth to shimmy out. 
“NO DON’T DO-” the wizard flinched.
“ARGHHH!” SLICE! You threw your head back seeing him break the sword in two right at the handle which almost made the poor wizard guy faint. Thor just stood their awkwardly with the tiny blunt little sword in his hand. “It’s fine I can just-” he tried jamming it back into the rock but was way too forceful so he ended up putting an even larger dent in what was left of it. 
“Does anyone have some glue?” Tony casually yelled around while Bruce was trying to hide behind a dip n dots cart mumbling “I don’t know them,” and pretending to be completely oblivious to all of the scared screaming children that had just seen a part of their imagination torn apart.
“I can’t say that I’m not surprised,” Natasha mumbled with her head slightly cocked to one side as she studied the scene. “It could be a really good piece of modern art I guess.”
“Oh no,” Steve flinched in pain at those words. “Please, not again with the modern art,” he cringed just thinking about those strange, abstract sculptures of plain shapes or made of weird materials that people called art these days.
“Well, I need a beer,” Tony piped up trying to think of a solution to cure everyone’s sudden depression. 
“Is there a tavern around here?” Thor questioned.
“Yeah, actually, there is a tavern,” you were surprised to remember that there did happen to be a place for them to drink around here. “I think you’ll like it, Thor. It’s very, er… manly.” You smiled only half-sarcastically as you thought back to the Disney villain that owned the place. He had been one of your favorites as a kid despite his tendency to boast about his buffness (which is why you believed you were able to tolerate Tony and Thor) and awfully misogynistic world view. But, that’s Disney for you.
Gaston’s Tavern was a very rustic looking place that sort of tried to be half hunting lodge and half shrine to its namesake Frenchman. Upon approaching an entrance, there was a Gaston actor leaned up against one of the windows and hitting on basically every mom that went in or out. God, it made you sick. It was like he was Tony but without any smarts whatsoever.
“Who the hell is this guy?” Bruce wondered at the sight of him flexing his completely-not-fake-and-made-of-padding biceps. 
“Welcome, everyone! Don’t worry, you will all have the chance to meet me, Gaston: the strongest, most handsome, and brave man in all of town. You may applaud,” the airhead was motioning for people to clap and a couple of other employees (not dressed up) responded with some cheers as if to play along. 
“You sure that’s not Tony?” Steve whispered to you under his breath which made you smile. You gave him a look and winked at him as if to say, “that was exactly what I was thinking” and rolled your eyes.
“So you claim to be the strongest man around here?” Thor stepped forward a little bit too menacingly with the seriousness of his voice which caused a couple of people around him to gasp just laying their eyes on the perfectly sculpted body of a god. Before it could go anymore out of hand you ran up to him and tried to get his attention.
“Nope, nuh uh, Thor, this is just a guy playing a character; he’s supposed to say those things but he doesn’t really mean them. C’mon, you will break this guy’s arm worse than that fake sword and everyone knows that, so it’s okay because you don’t have to prove anything.” The nervousness in your quivering voice could not have been worse as you saw Thor trying to measure up this poor dude with the fake biceps and wig. 
“Character? Pffff,” Gaston played aloof to the danger in the form of a giant Scandinavian looking lumber jack that was right in front of him. “Gaston is the strongest man in town and he isn’t afraid to prove it.”
“Buddy, I’m trying to save your life,” you spit at him.
“How about an old fashioned arm wrestling match?” Natasha suggests and you lightly slap her for encouraging this awful testosterone measuring contest. Thor and Gaston, however, are immediately down for it though you can see the rules of arm-wrestling being a lot different on Asgard which may actually result in this guy’s arm being completely ripped off.
“HOWWWWWW about we let someone else go first, huh?” your voice cracks which makes Natasha smirk. “Weakest goes up against him first, you know? And then Thor is the championship match?”
“Hold on, are you saying that you think Thor is the strongest?” Tony rips of his sunglasses to look you straight in the eyes.
“This isn’t a contest guys; obviously I’m the strongest!” Bruce plays innocent and coy with his shoulders shrugged but you don’t take his hulking out joke too lightly. 
“Not when you’re this color you’re not. You’re first,” you shove up towards Gaston who’s had a wooden table pulled out to the front of the tavern just for the occasion. Then Bruce gets a little sweaty realizing that he actually has to put on his best performance and goes to sit across from the smirking playboy villain who’s already got his right elbow up on the table. You can see all of the fake padding under his costume’s sleeve from where you are, but you still aren’t sure how much muscle this guy actually has on his own. He’s fairly broad and definitely looks like he’s the type to have always idolized body builders, yet you still aren’t sure if that means he has a definite win over Bruce.
“Alright gentlemen I want a fair match,” says Nat. “Elbows on the table at all times, and 3, 2, 1-” 
It was a pretty evenly matched fight as both men’s fists seemed to keep a nice right angle for the first few moments and none of them had a visible advantage over the other. You could see Bruce’s veins in the side of his face which always made an appearance when he tried to Hulk out, but Gaston also had some pretty good form and was gritting his teeth together as they both tried to exert more and more force against the other. The it seemed like it was bobbling more towards Bruce’s direction and his focus completely shifted to Gaston himself who he showed his teeth like a primate and growled at with a deep Hulk-like rumble in the back of his throat. That must’ve been enough to intimidate the guy because he stumbled with his grip for a second and Bruce took the opportunity to ram his hand into the table and take the win.
“YES! YES! I AM VICTORIOUS!” he screamed going in for a chest bump with Thor who had been chanting Banner’s name the whole time. “What do you think about that, GASTON?!” he and Thor were backing him up into a corner which did not seem like a good idea.
“Gentlemen, please, if we could all just- okay, security!” his voice suddenly switched to that of a your typical New Jersey accent but in a slightly higher pitch as he called for help and all seven of you looked at one another before pushing your way through the crowds to get as far away as possible. 
“You know running is just going to bring even more attention to us,” Natasha quipped but you didn’t care about being stealthy at the moment. 
“Just go!” you pushed her forward. The last thing you wanted was to be banned  from all Disney parks after your first time setting foot in one. Panicking with no ideas on how to cover your tracks, you desperately snapped your fingers together and all of a sudden a grey storm cloud appeared just above Gaston’s Tavern and poured down gallons of water over the immediate area of the crime scene, soaking all the workers and making them slip as you ran off rain-free.
Unfortunately, a little girl about 7 or 8 wearing the same Minnie Mouse ears as you had watched your little trick which left her mouth frozen wide open before she could have taken a bite of her dole whip. You laughed nervously and one shoulder came up to your ear as you played dumb, hoping that she wouldn’t remember any of what she just saw or would ever be taken seriously enough for adults to believe her. “Heh, uh, unpredictable Florida weather, right?” you offered but her expression remained the same.
“I’m sorry, but is she the child or are you?” Natasha grabbed your wrist and pulled you along behind her while she tried to forget that she just saw you trying to reason about your spontaneous weather-changing powers with a kid that probably still wet the bed. “Very smooth, y/l/n.”
“Don’t think I don’t have a cloud specially made for you, Romanoff,” she releases a huff and takes a double take when you stick out your tongue at her but then resumes pulling you along with an even tighter grip.
“Yup, my girlfriend is a complete child,” she mutters to herself.
“SO,” you put on a big wide smile as you turn to Tony and pretend like you didn’t hear her. “Tony, do you have anything you’d like to do that doesn’t involve tampering with Disney property?”
“Actually, yes, there is one guy I’d like to meet. Or, rather, have Banner meet.”
At first you were certain Tony planned to throw Bruce into the It’s A Small World Ride or try setting him up with one of the princesses, but his actual plan was surprisingly pleasant. 
“FINALLY! Someone who gets it!” Bruce was over relieved and had threw up his hands.
“Well, yeah, it’s not easy being green, you know?” Kermit the Frog was out sitting on a bench just casually giving out life advice when Tony had ambushed the poor muppet talking all about how Bruce and him had a little green problem in common.
“No, no it isn’t. Thank you so much for saying that!” 
“What are you doing?” Natasha leaned in to Tony who had pulled out his phone.
“Oh, I’m recording this for instagram.”
“I mean, first off it just blends into so many things. People always think I’m some sort of walking bush.”
“Wow, people always think I’m a giant tree!”
“What the heck is Tony doing?” you ask as Nat wraps her arm around your waist.
“He’s filming it for instagram,” you laugh before tugging at her shirt to seriously look her in the eyes. “Hey, it’s almost time for the fireworks show. You wanna go somewhere we can be alone?”
“After you,” she offers up her arm which you gladly take while you walk next to her with your head on her shoulder. Moments like these where you could act like a normal couple were what had you hanging onto life for so many years throughout all of the struggles. You had looked forward to, no, dreamed about having someone that loved you for years. And while your relationship with Natasha wasn’t normal as neither of you were normal people, you cherished sharing these simple moments with her. 
Bribing the ride operator to stop the ferris wheel when you and Nat reached the very top was so unlike you, but definitely a great decision. 
“Isn’t this a little bit unethical?” Natasha criticized your usual goody-two-shoes self. Pink, blue, and white fireworks began shooting off in the distant sky lighting up the cloudless view you had of the horizon and the stars coming into view. 
“So are the things I want to do you,” you try to keep a serious face but can’t help but laugh at the raised eyebrow she gives you. Her magnetic pull brings you in closer and soon the fireworks going off are just background noise.
“I adore you,” she whispers just before your lips touch and the real fireworks start to go off, ending the perfect day at the most magical place on earth.

The Flight of Icarus
Title: Tales from Gotham Academy: Field Trip
Rating: T for more mayhem 
Summary: Another ride, another misadventure. Mockridge has a come to Jesus moment with a 'business partner.'
Meanwhile, in the office of Daniel Mockridge
"They did what to the boat ride!?"
Cleo Droukas, Mockridge's assistant for the past three years, watched as her boss' face lost its smug smile and turned pale. She tried not to let on how much it amused her. "One of the teachers rammed his boat against another boat, which in turn rammed into a third boat, causing a collision against the embankment. None of the students are injured-"
"Forget the students!" Mockridge shouted. "What about the boats!?"
Cleo frowned. "The third boat was tipped over, but otherwise undamaged. The first and second boats, however, sustained damage during the collisions. They'll need to be repaired."
"And just how much is that gonna cost me!?" Mockridge yelled, running a hand through his hair. "This park's already in the red! Between operating costs and the settlements from that food poisoning case last year, I'm in the hole for $5 million! Which I could have handled, no problem, if Riddle of the Minotaur 2 hadn't bombed!" Mockridge moved his hand from his hair onto his desk, smearing paperwork with the greasy hair product. "I don't get it. Riddle of the Minotaur put Competitron on the map. It broke sales records. How did the second game do so badly? We marketed the shit out of it!"
Perhaps you shouldn't have fired and blacklisted the original game's creator, Cleo wanted to say. Instead, she waited until Mockridge had finished his whining before she continued. "The teacher who rammed the boats, Mr. Basil Karlo, has been removed from the park premises."
"They called the cops on the son of a bitch?"
"They did, but he was taken away in an ambulance. The other teachers administered their own 'justice' on him."
Mockridge's eyes widened. "Jesus Christ," he muttered. "I always knew Nashton was a fruitcake, but what the Hell is wrong with these people?"
Cleo had heard the rumors about how badly the students and teachers behaved at the Raging Rapids Water Park the previous year. She'd tried to warn Mockridge, but he'd been too set on sticking it to Edward Nashton to listen. Now they had to all deal with the consequences. "Principal Gordon is currently speaking with park security, while the teachers and students are continuing their trip."
Mockridge looked slightly amazed. "After the boat ride, they want to stay in the park?"
Cleo shrugged. "Apparently, this isn't anywhere near the worst thing that's ever happened to them on a school trip." Which, if true, was the most disturbing thing she'd heard all day.
An oily smile returned to Mockridge's face. "We may just be able to salvage this day yet! What about Wayne? Is he still happy?"
It took everything Cleo had not to smirk. "He was in the boat that was overturned."
Mockridge's face paled again. "God damn it! He's already pissed at me for that crack I made about his girlfriend! I was hoping to convince him to invest in Competitron!"
That was looking about as likely Mockridge himself admitting that Edward Nashton was the reason Competitron had been as viable as it was. Before she could say anything else, there was a knock at the door. "Yes?" Cleo called.
Mockride's secretary poked his head in. "Sir? Mr. Sionis is on Line One."
All the remaining color drained from Mockridge's face. "Oh shit. Tell him I'm in a meeting!"
The secretary shuffled. "He's being very insistent sir. He threatened to staple my lips shut if I didn't put him on the phone with you."
Mockridge sank in his chair. "Oh, Christ...fine. Put him through." As soon as the door shut, Mockridge pushed a button on his phone. After how badly Riddle of the Minotaur 2 had sold, Mockridge had needed to seek external funding to keep Competitron's losses manageable. Unfortunately, Mockridge had about as much sense in seeking out loans as he was in keeping talent, and he'd wound up in the debt of Roman Sionis, industrial magnate and rumored mobster. "Roman!" Mockridge said jovially. "I was just about to call you! How have you been?"
"Sure you were," Sionis spoke, his voice rumbling over the speakerphone. Oh good. He was pissed. "I checked my account this morning and lo and behold, I didn't see your monthly contribution. Where's my money, Mockridge?"
Cleo watched Mockridge gulp and somehow kept the satisfaction off her face. "Ah well...It's going to be a bit late this month, Roman. I had other obligations to take care of." Said other obligations included child support, gambling debts, payouts to several young ladies under his employ, and a new yacht.
Cleo could just make out the sound of a sharp intake of breath. Then Sionis spoke again. "Perhaps my last request was too mired in subtlety. I want my money, or you're dead. When I say dead, I mean dead. Beaten, broken, YOUR HEAD MOUNTED ON MY WALL KIND OF DEAD!!!"
Mockridge began to sweat, babble excuses and Cleo took that as her cue to leave. She shut the door behind her and finally let out the small laugh she'd been holding in. Then her thoughts turned to the Gotham Academy group. Hopefully, the boat ride would be the extent of their shenanigans for the day.
"We're going to the Library of Alexandria and that's final!"
"Like Hell, we are, Nashton! The kids want rides, we're going on rides!"
"Right, Harv, because the last time we were on a ride, it worked out so well! We're going to a place with books!"
"You can go to a place with books if you want Nashton, I'll take the kids to the rides."
"You're not going anywhere with my little girl without me!"
Jonathan and Jervis looked on at their friend and co-worker's argument and then gave each other a long-suffering look. After seeing Karlo off, Gordon, Wayne, Neil, Miguel, and Victor had been quick to split off into different sections of the park, leaving the four of them in the main hub to argue over which way to go. "We could just leave them, you know," Jonathan whispered to Jervis.
Jervis shook his head. "No we can't, March Hare. You know as well as I do that Harvey will kill Dormouse if left unsupervised."
Jonathan looked back to Harvey and Edward. Harvey's hands were balled up into fists and his face was turning magenta. "Harv looks ready to strangle him now." The students themselves watched the argument with the kind of indifference that came from witnessing this happen several times. Not even Ellen and Duela seemed that concerned.
"Which is why we need to intervene," Jervis insisted. He stepped forward and cleared his throat. "Now see here chaps-"
"If you don't get out of my face in the next two seconds Nashton, I'll make sure that Ellen stays your only child!"
Jonathan rolled his eyes, then stepped in to help Jervis corral the two men. "Knock it off the both of you," he scolded. "You're actin' worse than the actual children." Harvey and Edward turned to glare at Jonathan, then back at each other. Edward looked ready to say something smart when Jonathan interrupted. "Harv, don't you have that coin? Just flip on it."
Harvey smirked and pulled said coin out of his pocket. What he and Jonathan knew but Edward didn't, was that the coin was double-sided. "Alright, Nashton. Heads we go to the rides, tails we go to the Library of Alexandria. Agreed?"
Edward crossed his arms. "Fine. Flip it." Harvey did so and caught it with his left hand, flipping it over onto his right palm. When Edward saw the result, he scowled. "Flip it again!"
"For God's sake!" Jonathan shouted. "Edward, stop acting like a damn toddler and come on already!"
Edward sneered and opened his mouth, only for Ellen to interrupt. "I've got Penny in my contacts," she said in a sing-song tone. "And I'm not afraid to call her..." Edward paled, then sighed.
"Fine. Fine. We'll go rot our brains on the rides. But when disaster strikes, I will be the first to say I told you so!"
"Welcome to the Flight of Icarus! Please observe all posted rules. You must be at least 64 inches tall to ride, follow instructions at all times, one adult must be with a group of kids..."
While the ride attendant droned on, Edward, Jonathan, Jervis, and Harvey took in the ride with a growing sense of horror. The Flight of Icarus was a modified swing ride. Only, instead of seats hanging down from the top of the carousel, there were harnesses. The riders would strap themselves in, lie on their stomachs, and put large canvass wings on their arms. The idea was to simulate flight, like the mythological character of Icarus. It looked even more dangerous than the boat ride. When the ride attendant finished his spiel, the four men looked at each other. "So," Jonathan drawled. "Who's going first?"
"Not me," Edward said immediately. "I'm a father."
"So am I," Harvey said gruffly. "And Duela, there is no way in Hell you're riding that thing."
"I don't want to," Duela quickly agreed. "That thing looks like a death trap."
"I kind of want to go on it," Ellen added. Then her face fell. "But I'm too short to ride."
"Good," Edward said.
"I'm too short as well," Jervis said. "So I suppose that leaves you, March Hare."
Jonathan sighed. "Well, I have no fear of death. Might as well." He and the six kids who actually wanted to go on the ride stepped through the gate, and let themselves be strapped in. When Jonathan's wings were placed on him, he heard Edward chuckle from the other side of the gate.
"You're living up to your name now, Jonathan Crane," he smirked. "When you're airborne you'll look positively majestic."
"I will hurt you," Jonathan said crossly. Once the last child was strapped in, the ride attendant stepped back to the control panel and powered the ride on. The carousel's tower rose slowly as the chains began to move and spin the riders around. At first, it was slow, but it quickly picked up speed. The teachers and the students on the ground were colorful blurs to Jonathan as the ride spun him around, faster and faster. Luckily, in addition to feeling no fear, he felt no nausea. Frankly, it was almost fun.
Unfortunately, while the designers of the ride had accounted for height and maximum weight, no one ever thought to consider a minimum weight for the ride. Jonathan was so light and thin in build that he wasn't securely harnessed. On the thirteenth rotation of the carousel, he slipped out of his harness and was vaulted through the air. "Jesus Chriiiiist!" he screamed as he flew 50 feet above the ground.
"March Hare!" Jervis screeched, running after his friend. Edward and Harvey followed in close pursuit, trailed by Ellen, Duela, and a few other kids. The rest stayed put to film the scene, of course.
"Jon!" Edward shouted as Jonathan began to dip down. "Flap your arms! Try to fly!" Jonathan did so, and remarkably, managed to pick himself up. "We should be close to the main hub," Edward mused as the group followed Jonathan, who was now gliding at a steady pace. "Jon! When we get to the plaza, you should be able to glide into the fountain!"
"The fountain!?" Jonathan shouted. "After the boat ride!?"
"Well it's that or you can impale yourself on a tree!"
"Jesus fucking Christ," Harvey muttered. "Mockridge has one Hell of a lawsuit coming his way."
The small group followed Jonathan into the plaza, where they caught the attention of not only other parkgoers, who were pointing and gasping at the sight of Jonathan gliding through the air. Unfortunately, they also attracted the attention of Maxie Zeus, who took Jonathan's appearance very differently. "A fury!" he bellowed. "Back, fury! Back to the depths of Tartarus with you!" He gripped onto the base of his lightning bolt, which, while not a real lightning bolt, served very well as a javelin. He threw the bolt at Jonathan and his aim was true, the bolt puncturing one of the canvass wings.
"Son of a biiiiiiitch!" Jonathan screamed as he plummeted to Earth, disappearing in the tree line that surrounded the main entrance to the park.
Jervis collapsed onto his knees. "March Hare! Jonathan! No!" He began to wail and sob.
"Dad?" Duela asked, for once almost shaken. "Is Mr. Crane dead?"
"I'm sure he's not," Harvey comforted her. He gave Edward a short nod. "You and Tetch better go look for Crane. I'll take care of the kids."
Edward didn't look happy at the prospect of leaving his daughter, but he liked the idea of her tagging along to find Jonathan's possible corpse even less. "Alright. Ellen, behave yourself. I'll be back with Uncle Jon in a few minutes." He stepped forward and began dragging a still weeping Jervis towards the tree line. "Come on, Jervis. We have a March Hare to find."
In an hour, he would regret letting his daughter out of his sight.

Not That Kind of Alpha Request 1 [Alpha!Kirishima/Timid!Asexual!Omega!Reader]
Thank you so much, @grace-of-hearts!!! This was such a cute request! I really enjoyed writing it and hope you like it! 
I chose the amusement park because there’s only so much one can do at the zoo and I’d have run out of animals eventually! XD Sorry, but I hope amusement park is okay! 
Anyway, hope you all like, too, and please send in requests you all have! I have run out of ideas and would love to do some requests in this universe! 
Edit: Somehow forgot to add in the links for the other parts to this like i meant to. Whoops!
Part 1: Link!
Part 2: Link! 
God Bless and Good Day!
~The Lupine Sojourner
Tumblr media
(I guess this is when they stop to eat lunch?? IDK, I just thought it was cute! XD)
“Babe, you ready?” Eijiro asks from inside the bedroom. I grin and chuckle while french-braiding my hair facing the bathroom mirror.
I was admittedly a little nervous about this, but I also knew it was something Kiri had been looking forward to; a day for just us, doing whatever we want at an amusement park all day. I then take a breath, looping the hair tie securely around the end of the braid, eying my Bond Mark like I had too many times since that night. I blush, as always, at the memory, fingers ghosting over my lips. They way he’d kissed me...it was so sincere, so passionate...I loved it! He’d rarely gotten that emotional since then, but he made it a point to pour passion and love in every kiss, some of which were on the Bond Mark while hugging me from behind. That never failed to make me flustered and red-faced.
The Bonding was a month ago, but it felt like yesterday and a lifetime ago, all at once. I then shake myself and pivot. “Yup! Coming!” I call back, scurrying out to the bedroom and grabbing my purse. It was April, so there was still a slight chill in the air. As such, I had a thin grey varsity jacket on on top of a rose-patterned peasant blouse with a pair of nice jeans that weren’t skinny on me, but weren’t super loose. I also had combat boots on with red socks peeking out and a rose-pendant choker. Kiri blushes. I’d just gotten out of the shower and he hadn’t seen my outfit.
“Holy- -you look...you look stunning.” He murmurs breathily. He had a black wife-beater under a neon tiger-stripe hawaiian-style shirt with army green cargo pants and- -
“Are you really wearing crocs?!” I tease, smirking. “With socks?” He scratches the back of his neck.
“We’ll be walking around a lot. I just figured these are best.” I nod.
“As long as you have a reason, I guess.” I reply, smiling and melting against his gentle hug and kissing him back as he eased his lips over mine. He was never rough unless he just had to kiss me because I looked ‘too damn pretty not to kiss’ or ‘I just love you so much’. It was adorable and really sweet and I smile into the kiss. “Are we gonna go or not?” I mock-grumble, leaning away. He chuckles and reluctantly lets me go.
“Alright, alright. Let’s go.” He says. We hold hands and walk out to the car together.
=#=#=#=#=
“I don’t know...it looks...um...it looks really rickety and…” I stammer and shake, clinging to Eijiro’s arm. “I, uh…” It was the first roller coaster we wanted to go on. And I wasn’t sure I wanted to go on it. Eijiro pats my arm and kisses my temple.
“Then we won’t go on it.” I look at him sheepishly.
“Sorry. It’s just nerves. I’ll get over it.” I mumble.
“No, you’re not comfortable. We don’t have to go on a roller coaster as our first ride. We have all day.” He says softly, smiling. “Really, if you don’t want to go on this ride, we don’t have to.” I shake my head.
“I need to try to get over my skittishness. It’s just...I need to get through this.” I reply resolutely. Eijiro smiles proudly at me.
“If you’re sure. There’s nothing wrong with picking a different ride.” I chuckle.
“I’d rather not ride the carousel all day.” I confess nervously. Eijiro laughs.
“Okay. Like I said, we don’t have to ride every ride. We can take it slow if you want.” I nod.
“Thanks for being patient with me.” He nuzzles my neck, right over the Bond Mark. I blush and kiss his temple.
“Of course.” He says when he draws away. Together, we get on the ride and I try not to grip the bar too tightly. It was a tense few seconds as the workers made sure the riders were secured properly and then we were off. It was a series of terrifyingly fast turns and hills followed by a corkscrew and then a loop and when it was over, I am so high on adrenaline, I am laughing and twitchy as we get out of the car. Eijiro takes my hand again and we stumble down the exit path, giddy. He kisses me. “How was that?” He asks. I grin.
“It might be the adrenaline talking, but it wasn’t that bad!” I reply, giggling. Eijiro laughs.
“Okay!” We walk around til we aren’t jittery and then get in line for a swing ride that nearly goes upside down. I wasn’t as nervous for this one and it was actually kinda fun, all things considered, though I grabbed Kiri’s hand and was screaming the entire time.
After that, we went to an arcade and spent an hour burning through about twenty dollars each, coming away with hardly any prizes except a stuffed shark that I somehow grabbed in a claw game for Kiri and I had a traditional teddy bear Eijiro had been determined to win enough tickets for in a shooter game. “I’m your teddy bear!” He’d proclaimed, “And this way you have something to remind you of me when I’m not around.” I blush scarlet and kiss him. He was too sweet sometimes. We then went on a drop tower which took Eijiro basically talking me into it saying it wasn’t that intense of a drop and it would be over soon. He obviously said I didn’t have to go on it, but I wanted to try just about any ride he wanted to go on. It was terrifying and I felt high on adrenaline again when it’s over. So far, it wasn’t as bad as I thought. This was a lot of fun, actually!
As the day went on, I got progressively less timid and tried different rides I might not have otherwise. And it was all thanks to Eijiro’s patient, encouraging presence. He never pressured me too much to do things if I showed signs of wanting to back out. By the time the sun began to set, I pointed to the ferris wheel. I wanted to save it for the last ride and make it a cliche romantic moment.
This was our 6-month anniversary, after all. I wanted to end it on a high note. “Hey, Eiji. What about making that our last ride?” I suggest and am treated to Eijiro’s loving heart-eyes and a deep kiss.
“Hell yeah, babe! Let’s go it!” I giggle and let him all but yank me into line. He was positively bouncing in excitement. “The sun’s setting, too!” He chirps.
“I know.” I reply. “That’s why I wanted it to be our last ride of the day.” There were times Eijiro needed a little patience on my end, but that was why we worked so well together. We knew how the other ticked and could handle them in a healthy, productive way.
We walk into the car and sit down, Eijiro adjusting me so I was half in his lap and facing the sunset. I sigh contentedly.
“Are you having fun?” He asks. I nod, the pleasant atmosphere and Eijiro’s scent filling me up and making me slowly grow tired from all the excitement of a day of roller coasters and arcade games.
“Oh, yeah.” The ferris wheel moves slowly at first, stopping to let more people on, then begins going non stop and we finally get to take the proper time to enjoy the sunset. Eijiro suddenly turns me gently to him and kisses me soundly. So soundly, in fact, I don’t see or hear him raising his phone and snapping a picture just as we reached the top of the wheel. “...Wow…” I breathe when we break apart.
“I love you so much.” He murmurs, resting his forehead against mine. I smile, wrapping my arms around his neck and kissing him.
“I love you, too, Eijiro.” We cuddle and enjoy the ride, kissing lazily every once in a while.
It had been a perfect day and I wouldn’t change a thing. Every day, I am blessed to be with an Alpha like Eijiro. And he loved being with me, somehow. He runs content hands through my hair as the ride slowly starts and stops to let other people off. He then sits up, clearing his throat and turning to me. “Hey, Y/N?” I nod.
“Yeah, Eijiro?” I reply, wondering why he was so nervous and blushing all of a sudden. He licks his lips, fingers twitching in his pocket before he takes my left hand and holds something up. I blush and stammer for words. Was that…
“Wi-will...will you marry me, Y/N F/N?” He holds the ring up for me to see as the seconds tick by. Was he...was he proposing?!
“Eijiro...I...o-of course! I didn’t think...I thought you’d...but yes, I’ll marry you! Of course!”
Bonus: The Ring, Pictured Below.

Ways Disney Can Make Magic Kingdom Even Better
Get rid of Enchanted Tiki Room. It’s dated, repetitive, and just not that good. Replace it with the rollercoaster from The Emperor’s New Groove or something.
Give the Walt Disney World Railroad a few more stops, in particular adding one to Adventureland. 
Please for the love of God have some single rider queues. They go a long way toward shorter lines and more people getting to experience them. 
Maybe update the Jungle Cruise? It...has some really racist theming to it. 
Seriously consider how much people actually want to see the Country Bear Jamboree. 
Don’t give Trump a speaking part in the Hall of Presidents. Please. 
Make The Barnstormer longer because right now it’s ridiculously short. 
Get rid of Tomorrowland Speedway, which is basically very slow go-karts. Replace it with Wall-E, Wreck-It Ralph, Big Hero 6, Black Panther, or something else futuristic that actually fits the theme. Hell, if you’re gonna have kids driving a car, you could do Cars theming.
Add some more shows and street performers. The stressful thing about Magic Kingdom is that after a certain point, the lines for every ride get so crowded it’s like you can’t do anything. Shows alleviate this. Right now the only ones they have that are actually good are Mickey’s PhilharMagic, Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor, and Carousel of Progress. Oh, and the Muppets. Muppets are always good. Maybe have them at the other parks too.

How do you think Sakura & Sasuke from SA would act like when they're a couple at a theme park like Six Flags? I went last weekend for the 1st time & this one couple kept showing up @ the same rides as us. The girl kept saying she was brave enough to ride the front car & then once the "click" of the bar sounded she'd whisper "I immediately regret the decision that led me to this point". The guy just would shade her in line with his body/make jokes @ the photos taken of his friend during rides.
Sorry but I couldn’t fit my whole message! But that couple just kept reminding me of Sakura and Sasuke from your fic. The bf kept being snarky in a joking way and the gf was quirky with her “I can handle any ride but maybe not” attitude. Plus their friend was basically the equivalent of how Naruto is with ramen but with orange chicken from Panda Express.
anon, you don’t know how happy you made me for thinking about my silly little fic while you’re in Six Flags (i mean. you’re in Six Flags!! seriously. are you kidding me?? aahhh!!)
so, here. have a fic of how I think SS will be like in an amusement park ft. Naruto.
(also, check out my other Strange Attractions outtakes)
“We don’t have to ride itif you don’t want to, Sakura.”
“Shut up! Who said I’m toochicken shit for this? I can fucking ride it just fine!”
“I didn’t say you weretoo—oh, for fucks sakes.”
Sasuke rolled his eyes asSakura left to line up on the biggest roller coaster at The Hidden Leaf AmusementPark. The line was long and the heat is unbearable and Sasuke is regrettingever suggesting going in this godforsaken place for Sakura’s birthday in thefirst place.
The decision was somethingsimple enough—and incredibly stupid now that Sasuke looks back on it—when he remembereda conversation where Sakura mentioned in passing that she’s never been to anamusement park before. Like, what normal young adult has never even been on acarousel ride before? And Sakura always thought Sasuke’s childhood was sad.
So, when March 28throlled in, Sasuke marched himself at Sakura’s apartment at the ungodly hour of7am, brandished two tickets to THLAP and told her to “Get dressed. I’m givingyou the best gift in the history of humankind.”
Sakura, glaring up at himbleary eyed and with an impressive bed hair in tattered pajamas, croaked out,“And what the hell would that be?”
“A fucking childhood.”
Right as they were walkingto Sasuke’s car Naruto came bounding up the lobby and when he heard it wasSakura’s birthday and they were going to the park insisted he come alongbecause “Two is hardly enough for a birthday bash but three is a party!”despite Sasuke’s glare and his dark mumble of “No, three is a fucking crowd.”
And so here they are, inline at the biggest and scariest ride in the park, The Hokage. It has threegigantic loops, a zigzagging trail with a 98% chance of the riders gettingflung off the ride, three twisted rails guaranteed to make you fear for yourlife and make it flash right before your very eyes as you plunge to your deathof a 500 feet vertical drop with a speed of 250km per hour in four seconds. Thefirst time Sasuke rode it was the day he felt what real unadulterated fear wasand was the loudest and longest he’s ever screamed in his life.
Sakura is practicallyvibrating beside him. He’s not sure if it’s the nerves or she’s finallyrealized she doesn’t want to actually live anymore and is excited to cross theafterlife. The bright look on her face and the nail biting is a great contrast.Then again, the look on her face is just a tad too bright bordering on panic.
And because Sasuke is alittle shit he decides to make things more interesting.
“Can’t be helped then,” hesighs. “Alright, Sakura. Since it’s your birthday I’ll let you hold my hand onthe ride.”
That got her attentionenough to stop biting her nails and turn a glare at Sasuke.
“Excuse me? You’ll let me hold your hand? Oh, gee, Sasuke.How considerate of you. You’re practically a saint. I don’t think I deservesuch generosity.”
“Mm. I know. And because I’mso generous, as an added bonus I won’t even tell anyone you screamed bloodymurder all throughout the ride and begged to get off. Total silence. I swear.”
Sakura’s glare just uppedand if looks could kill Sasuke would be six feet under by now. He keeps himselffrom laughing aloud at the sight.
“Who says I need to holdyour hand? Who says I need to hold anyone’s hand? And hell yeah I’ll scream!But it’ll be because I’m having the time and the thrill of my life!”
“Thrill of your life myass. Look at you. You’re pale, shaking, and you’ve bitten your nails to hell.”
“Shut up, Sasuke! I bet you cried when you first rode this hellcar. Knowing you, maybe even puked your guts out.”
Sasuke gave her an amused lookthat screamed ‘Really? Me?’ before he scoffed, smirking as he rolled his eyes.
“Whatever, you crazy harpy.Offer still stands.” He said placating and in a tone that suggests he’s havingway too much fun at her expense. “I won’t say anything—not even if you cry.”
Sakura’s eyes widened asher nostrils flared. Sasuke had successfully poked the sleeping dragon awake.
“Alright. That’s it. We’reriding at the front fucking car.”
Ten minutes later foundthem at the front of the line but Sakura insisted on going on the next one sothey could sit at the front. The ride operator just looked at them, rolled his eyes,and mumbled “Thrill-seekers” under his breathe but allowed them nonetheless.
When it was their turn,Sakura tugged at Sasuke’s wrist and hurriedly got on. The operator rambled onthe usual safety precautions but it all went over her head as she stared downat The Hokage’s trail and it became clear to her that this is how she’s goingto die.
“I’m regretting any and alldecisions I have made in my life that led me to this point.”
“You can still hold my handif you want.”
“Shut up, Sasuke! Youstupid—“ was the last words she said before it morphed into the shrillest andmost blood curdling scream Sasuke has ever heard.
Naruto found them slumpedon a bench half an hour later.
Well, Sasuke was slumpedbent over his knees. Sakura was happily munching on cotton candy and sippingcola.
“Where the fuck were you?”Sasuke said as soon as Naruto came bounding up to them.
“Gorging myself with thegenius creation that’s fried ramen.” He turned to Sakura who offered him someof her cotton candy. “Fried fucking ramen,Sakura! Can you fucking believe it?! Ramen you can actually eat while walkingwithout worrying about spilling broth! What a time to be alive!”
“Carnival food sure is…interesting,huh?”
“You bet!”
“Interestingly disgusting.”
“Shut up, Sasuke.” Narutosaid whilst cramming more cotton candy in his mouth. “Yo, what did you guys dowhile I was away? Let’s head towards the games sections next.”
“We went to ride TheHokage. It was the most thrill I’ve ever had in my life. I screamed a lot.” Sakurasaid as they walked towards the game stands. Sasuke muttered “Yeah you did” andSakura elbowed him lightly on the ribs. “Sasuke let me hold his hand because he’s so nice. I thought I was gonna die.It was awesome.”
“Right?! Oh, man that’s myfavorite ride ever!” He took another pinch at Sakura’s cotton candy. “Wait.Sasuke let you hold his hand or you lethim hold your hand?”
Sakura laughed and Narutoleaped out of the way as Sasuke attempted to swipe at him.
“Say, did you know? Sasukepuked and cried the first time we rode The Hokage. Man, that day is still oneof the best days of my life.”
There was a pause in whichthey all stopped walking, Naruto a few paces ahead, before Sakura turnedgleeful maniacal eyes at Sasuke and Sasuke turned to Naruto with a look ofmurder.
“I fucking knew it!”

TEEN WOLF RECAP - 6x06 Ghosted
And we are back, after 15 painful days without Teen Wolf, with an amazing episode. One of my favorites from the whole show.
Tumblr media
The episode starts with the sneak peak MTV released. Lydia washing her hands and seeing a blonde lady on the mirror. And, of course, since Lydia Martin is a Badass Banshee, she is transported to the inside of the mirror, which give us a time travel. She found herself in Canaan. Looks like the 80s were pretty excited there, huh?
After chasing the scary lady, Lydia sees a carousel but then, in a flash, the children disappear. The little horses appear with a lot of blood. Creepy, isn't it?
Suddenly, the famous storm tells us that the Ghost Riders arrived, and she sees people disappearing into clouds of smokes. It is like all of that was enough to start a big chaos. But the, our favorite Martin sees that the blonde lady is still there, and when she touches her... Boom. The famous Banshee scream happens. THANK GOD.
Back to the real and actual world, we notice that the Sherriff is done with all the stories about Stiles. And, we know, that this is going to lead us for some crying on the next episode.
The friendship between Lydia and Malia gets better every episode. Those two are so good together. We all agree that Martin deserves a best friend after Allison's death, and Malia is there for her. Plus, I would love to see Lydia as Malia's anchor. #Malydia. And, thanks to our favorite wewcoyote, they find Canaan's localization. Yup, road trip.
Liam and Hayden talk about the plans to capture a Ghost Rider. Which could not be more idiot. Even more with the help of the hot nazi teacher, that ends up listening to their conversation.
Another mystery is: how the hell is Melissa going to take care of Chris? I hope there are medications for magic whip, otherwise his situation will not improve. But along the episode we see that it does exist, and he gets better. #IconicDuo.
Malia, Scott and Lydia arrive in Canaan. It seems like a city destroyed on World War II, but it is just the Wild Hunt. #GhostTown
Malia sees the bodies of her dead sister and her mom. Poor Malia. It is a heartbreaking moment. And it just gets worse when Theo shots her on the stomache, but relax, it was just a hallucination.
Ok, Hayden and Liam are so cute this episode and Victoria looks amazing. It is a pity they do not notice the danger on trusting Mr. Douglas.
The trio decides to follow a little boy – Caleb – and end up in a house, meeting a weird old lady.
Kira is mentioned on Liam's plan – God, I miss her. They realize the only way to capture a Ghost Rider is controling a thunder, and do you know who got that power? That's right, Theo. After Theo killed Josh, he got his powers. Yes, Hayden is right, it is insane, but it seems to be completely necessary.
A break to drink a lemonade is only a good idea if it is Beyonce's lemonade, fellas. And, by the way, was that wolfsbane inside the glass?
The old lady refuses to let they leave. After punches, Lydia decides to try talking nicely with the woman while Malia and Scott decide to follow her son. And yeah, is definetely one of the scariest episodes on Teen Wolf history since her son is dead.
Lydia, can you please stop being so nice and just show that lady you're a freaking Badass Banshee? Thanks. (I'm pretty sure Stiles would say something like that.)
Kira's mom is back with the sword, ready to help Liam and Hayden. Or almost. No pressure, Dunbar, but if your plan fails it is your responsibility.
More hallucinations happen with Scott and Malia when they hear something that made me scream. Right, it is possible to hear Lydia screaming Allison's name when she died. CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT THAT MEANS? Plus, this little boy is so scary, like, oh my God...
The woman tells Lydia that the Ghost Riders brought her kid back to life. Does that mean Lydia is going to bring someone back too? Well, it doesn't matter, because right after that we have the scream fight between both Banshees and Lydia is transported to the path one more time, but this time she is able to see the Ghost Riders capturing people. And yes, that old lady is the blonde lady from the mirror.
Theo is back! He remembers Stiles! I never thought I would like him that much. But, he does not have Josh's power anymore.
The last ten minutes of the episode are fantastic because: We got Malia and Scott almost dying #Tension; Lydia Martin willing to die because she wants to save Stiles; Scalia; Theo knows a lot of things; Malydia; Malia and Scott being harsh with Theo; Stilinski finding Stiles' room;
0-10: 10!!
REASON TO WATCH: It is a scary episode and reveals a lot of things.
BEST SCENE: Scott hearing Lydia's scream when Allison died.
SCARIEST MOMENT: Caleb is dead.
SADDEST MOMENT: “I don't have a Caleb.”
FUNNIEST MOMENT: “Scott, open the door, you're a werewolf.”
BEST QUOTE: “I don't want to be safe, I want to save Stiles.”

lc’s ongoing long-ass list of what the fuck, teen wolf, and other sundry E606:Ghosted edition.
scott getting a little tiny bit snarly at the sheriff for not believing~~ in stiles gives me life
this old-ass map not only puts beacon hills on top of a real life place called scotty place which still makes me laugh, but also substantially more north and eastward than i originally estimated.
why the fuck didnt naziwolf just get the fuck outta bh?
why did he choose to stay and teach high school of all things?
california requires an 18 month accreditation course and a certain GPA of teachers who do not have an education degree, i know this from direct experience. its been three months since naziwolf busted out of his bacta tank, so what the fuck
if he forged his credentials, how
when
when did he actually learn all of the post WW2 physics and electromagnetics things he clearly genuinely knows and has a genuine interest in?
did the dread doctors read him bedtime stories from their science journals?
if so, what the fuck
i guess if youre an alpha werewolf you can sleep in the backseat with no seatbelt and its not a big deal if you crash
good job on malia being the driver and not crashing them im proud of her
reading the date of the canaan abduction in the standard american way it was april 8th, 1987, which cant be a coincidence given that’s stiles birthday (albeit pre-stiles)
if canaan has been abandoned for 30 years, who has been cutting these obviously not overgrown lawns and trimming these obviously not overgrown accent shubberies
why isnt that flag beat up or torn in any way?
kudos on giving that convertible the old 80s style california plates but why arent any of the windows on any of the cars busted out? no flat tires? no rust or missing doors?
also that shot of the ‘town’ where there was more substantial damage looked fake as hell and the crosswalk was proceeding at the wrong angle and i cant unsee it.
why is there still power running to these street lamps?
for that matter who has their street lamps scheduled to turn on in the middle of the day?
was that block party banner over the street lettered on both sides? it reads properly no matter what side youre looking at, which seems weird.
why is there blood on the carousel? was that explained? we’ve never seen the ghost riders’ gun draw blood that i can recall
im not even sure we’ve really seen their whips draw blood per se and certainly it wouldn’t have caused that kind of blood stain
also why is the blood still wet and red 30 years later? why wasn’t that newspaper rotted out? either time impacted this town to make it shitty as hell or it didn’t, pick one, you cannot have both. it still rains enough in california to totally disintegrate a newspaper in thirty years.
how the fuck did that carousel function even that tiny bit after 30 years in the elements?
why did melissa have to sneak chris argent around, couldnt he have just declined the operation against medical advice?
also good to see scott got his utter inability to lie from his mom
even if malia isnt wearing 100% stiles’ void-hoodie how could the costume department have thought for a minute we wouldnt have thought that was the void hoodie?
malia having a hallucination of theo in the same episode he comes back in for real seemed both rushed and entirely unnecessary.
in fact these hallucinations seemed wholesale unnecessary and neither scott nor malia deserved that nonsense
were all of these dead leaves already on location or did some poor asshole have to ship them in and then ship them out again
come to think of it, at first i was really excited to see coral/eucalyptus trees as they are actually trees that are in california (as opposed to the type of oak the nemeton is, which is distinctly Not a type of tree in california) but then i realized those are Southern California Trees and if beacon hills (and canaan) are that far north and close to the oregon border, the trees should be way more pines and evergreens and not coral or eucalyptus or ... any deserty tree, really.
seriously were these hallucinations just to show malia can feel sad too?
malia was wearing really subtle gold eyeshadow earlier. now it’s dark shadowing up to her browbone. does being a werecoyote also mean being able to shift your makeup at will? cause thats cool
do little girls seriously still play with baby dolls while hitting their first strides of puberty? im beginning to think i was never actually a little girl.
how much younger than malia was kylie supposed to be? bc she looks like 12 here but malia was like... 10 when the desert wolf murdered her family, right? was SHE the younger sister??
teen wolf shamelessly reusing shots with new filters on them like never before. this ain’t even the fifth time i’ve caught them doing this, this season, and i’ve literally never seen them do it in any of the other seasons.
im not sure anybody told kylie’s actress she wasnt gonna get to make out with shelley
how do werecreatures get piercings? or were her ears pierced first before the change?
why does anyone let liam make any decisions, ever?
i do not get why everyone finds naziwolf so hot
seriously i have a little tree-bush exactly like this right outside my door/garage and that shit is wild and untamed in just a month of no trimming in 30 years it would not have that nice slender shape anymore
also trees being choked to death by kudzu or whatever all these vines are dont look that healthy
is there even kudzu in california??? ive never seen so many vines in all my 10 years of living here.
the first house scott goes in theres like no tv in the living room but there is one chair (with no dining table) all alone in the dining room area, which just looks sad.
oh sorry two chairs set up in what was clearly the worlds most melancholy staring contest.
my dentist used to have that exact sailboat wallpaper trim around the top of his exam rooms.
scotts bullying a door.
have melissa and chris argent actually told the pack about the head-biting yet bc i feel like they should know
i think more people have asked scott if he’s okay in this episode than in the last three seasons, which is sad bc it’s basically just lydia and malia that do it.
that one house has some brutal earthquake damage in its exterior wall.
poseys microexpressions are so woefully underrated, he really is brilliant.
i have more grey hair than jr bourne and that makes me really angry
i like that they’re doing alchemy with druidic compounds/hedgemagic/whatever you want to call it more than i could possibly express.
why is there a porch loveseat on the step up to this one house but that FLAG IS ENTIRELY INTACT?
how convenient that all three of them were looking at that window when lenore decided to fuck with the drapery.
that said scott’s resultant HOLY SHIT?!?? face is amazing
how has lenore been surviving in this town, does she not need water, electric, heat, groceries? where did the lemons for the lemonade come from?
all this wood paneling is the most 70s thing i have ever seen in my life
i appreciate the little cast iron redwood decoration with the ‘m’ on the bottom of it.
everything!! in!! this!! house!! is!! brown!!
that piano as a busted af bass key there.
i feel like i’ve seen that other metal flower/leaf decor before. the new version of the stilinski house, maybe?
lenore has an intimidatingly large smile and i feel like that as an intentional casting choice
how come malia and scott couldnt hear her heartbeat after scott explicitly called out that there were no heartbeats? or for that matter not hear that caleb also didn’t have one? (presumably.)
im not 100% sure but i think malia is holding scott’s hand when they enter the dining room area of lenore’s house, which is adorable so i accept no other reality now.
i honestly feel really bad for lenore.
i would say the fisheye lens is s6′s slo mo but the slo mo didnt go anywhere
i dont know if its supposed to be fancy or artisinal or whatever you called that in the 80s but dont put green shit in your lemonade, green shit does not belong in your lemonade. lemons. sugar. water. it isn’t hard.
malia like chugs a good half of her glass at once, but when she sets it back down it is more full than any of the other glasses. i prefer to think she just faked drinking it to try and gain lenore’s trust than it’s a continuity error from the props department.
when lenore starts using her banshee powers to shake the house, it also magically converts the lemonade into water.
lenore has a pair of decorative ducks on her wall but they appear to be two male mallard ducks, so. gay duck decor.
so when does lydia get to have telekinesis?
i dont think im a very big fan of how angela harvey handles scott.
malia did NOT make a fist like she was really committing to trying to punch out that window.
seriously scotts the alpha he doesnt need lydia to give him permission to do things scott thinks need to be done
that being said scott going into the basement with a creepy kid when youre obviously in some kind of horror movie trope was stupid
the cameras they used for the senior pack team were super blurry anytime anyone moved even the littlest bit, its so annoying.
scott barely being tall enough to reach this tiny-ass basement window is endearing to me
there is no way a vhs tape that wet would run. i remember vhs tapes. they were not sturdy.
i feel like we used to have the same VCR in my parents’ room tho
also what the hell camcorder did they record this on that put it straight on VCR, camcorders in the 80s had weird little small VCR tapes you had to put in a converter. that was just a standard VCR tape.
also why are there jumpcuts in the home video? did somebody cut the original footage and THEN put it on a standard VCR tape?  how much fucking work was THAT??
caleb goes from 0 to 100 on the creepy poltergeist scale real quick
well okay maybe from like 40 to 100
banshee duel yessssss
literally why would noshiko do this after she saw what happened with the nogitsune
not that i necessarily think theo is as dangerous as the nogitsune but he is well bad enough
look at this worthless white boy doing this shit against all the advice of the woc around him
why does the sword do this, i thought the power was in kira and not the sword
if the power is in the sword why couldnt noshiko fix her own damn blade
look at this other worthless white boy even more worthless than the first
that looks like melissa is putting like grout on chris’ injury that does not look comfortable
oh look hes screaming imma guess it was not in fact comfortable
gratuitous jr bourne fanservice
awwww theyre holding haaaaands again
how did this kid get on the stairs the last time we saw him he was by the tv, why did scott and malia let him herd him like this
i appreciate malia’s willingness to beat up a kid poltergeist immensely
of the pictures on caleb’s walls, many are pictures of insects. one is a blue crab. one says ‘guten’ on it, which somehow entertains me a lot.
this is the second time this episode has tried to make me scared of carousel horses
the vhs footage loops while no one is attending to it which is not how vhs tapes work
malia is such a treasure
that being said having nearly drowned twice in my childhood this whole drowning-on-dry-land conceit is not super great for me
screencapping this is so gross
i love lydia’s fierce banshee scream face
so the blood was on the carousel before the wild hunt attack, as we see in lydia’s vision. SO WHY IS IT THERE??
THERE ARE KIDS RIDING ON THIS CAROUSEL WHILE SOME OF THE HORSES ARE BLOODY
poor skateboard bro couldnt even take his skateboard like rude wild hunt
i feel like there’s a lot more ghost riders here than there are in beacon hills. maybe the ghost riders just come for particular towns and the ones in bh are actually like... cora isaac and danny.
its amazing how much younger a good foundation can maybe somebody look
did liam SERIOUSLY just tell theo he can kill whoever he wants? did i hear that right? bc that is a TERRIBLE thing to tell theo, who has ALREADY KILLED A LOT OF PEOPLE, even if what you meant was ‘dont kill us you need us’.
i cant believe we got this cheap knockoff as an excuse to not have kira and then they didnt even let him have the powers he needed to do the job
otoh watching his ass get blasted back into the tunnels was satisfying
literally nobody cares if youre okay theo you murderous fuck
i wonder how many times scott had someone steadying him telling HIM he has to breathe like hes doing for malia right here
i should really keep a tally of how many times scott does stiles’ lizard tongue thing while stiles is gone
this is gross of me to think while the character is basically drowning but hey now i know what scott looks like with his bottom lip all wet and covered in somewhat translucent stretchy goo--jizz. okay. it looks like jizz.
scott mccall nearly drowns on dry land after a lifetime of severe asthma and the first thing he does after is ask if malia is ok
luckily THIS time she asks if HES okay to but jeez
he looks so shocked and confused to be asked extra jeez
more scolia handholding, this time while fleeing danger
i was literally three in 1987 and i still have more grey hair than lenore who was demonstrably an adult in 1987 I AM VERY ANGRY
that being said i realized why caleb here’s clothing was bothering me so much. nobody had shorts that long in the 80s. everybody wore short as hell shorts in the 80s. it was thighs everywhere.
these stupid motherfuckers taking theo to scott’s HOME and putting him in scott’s SAFE SPACE without even WARNING HIM oh my GOD
those better not also be scott’s CLOTHES
ok but WHY are the wild hunt trapped? did they BRING the northern lights or is the northern lights related to what’s trapping them?
excuse me but WHEN did lydia see anything related to what happens to people after the wild hunt takes them and why didnt we get to see it too?
seriously its like if scott is thinking of stiles then lizard blep
im so mad at liam for bringing theo back and putting him in scotts house i cant even see straight
and i just know that this anger that scott is being allowed will be it
and in a week or two itll be working with theo like nothing ever happened
im honestly shocked he even got this much
he even got undercut there by malias (also justified) rage
cool that the morrigan got a namedrop but i dont trust them with that story eitherrrrr
man let me tell you if this was martin and not scott and somehow he had been murdered and resurrected and was then confronted with his murderer in his pack house that murderer would not fucking leave alive
im still kind of mad that this season brought claudia back to life just to make her so sketch and make me kind of hate her, i didnt want to hate her
oh okay its a different weird leaf decor piece than the other one
oh yeah noah OKAY NOW youre starting to believe BUDDY you have faith issues

Alrighty - I really narrowed myself down to 10 photos so I don’t bombard you. But like any normal human, I was excited to be here, I was back to being 7, getting Sleeping Beauty on VHS, the one Disney Movie I had wanted for the whole year! I won’t lie, I almost wet myself at some point cause I was trying to fit everything else in and forgot about my bladder. So ... in order:
1. Me having a freakout, I’M AT ANAHEIM’S DISNEY! 2. It’s a small world - had to, and each of us understood different languages, though mine was oh so basic. 3. Flynn Rider’s wanted sign - cause why not! 4. These sneaky four were having an argument while people waited for photos! 5. STAR WARS ... did you see my shirt, I was more than excited. 6. An arcade type thing ... don’t worry, I was aiming for a high corner at the back! 7. Captain Jack Sparrow, I was ecstatic one this ride, the only one I wanted to do right from the beginning. 8. Rocky Mountain at sunset 9. The Electrical Parade ... we were told it wasn’t anything to fuss over - it was! 10. Can you tell I like my pirates?
That day was just one big adventure. Celeste and I were hyped and Fran was sick as a dog. I drove us out to Anaheim, luckily we could check in to our room early. Celeste and I left Fran there, booked ourselves on the 10am bus to Disney and went to Denny’s for breakfast. It took forever and we got back JUST IN TIME for our bus. Fran stayed behind for an hour nap and met us just after we’d walked to the end of main street, I was sat with the kids watching Mary Poppins and Bert dance with musicians behind them while Celeste went to get Fran. We then helped a fam take their picture and they took one for us before heading for the Snow White ride. Peter Pan next, and all the while I was busy planning how I would do this if i were a parent, which lead to me parenting the girls and organising us as best I could (which went out the window when you’re with a 30 year old and a twenty something girl). Then I went to Mad Hatter’s shop and bought myself a hat, once done we trekked it out to It’s A Small World, the line was long and I had a child that was more than happy to keep leaning against my legs while in the queue, but hey, what’s Disney for? Then STAR WARS! So good, i lost the girls the moment I stepped inside the museum like setup. I enjoyed looking at the models and reading the design notes and watching the interviews with everyone from way behind the scenes. Seems everyone is just as excited and in awe of working for Disney as I’m sure we all would be. We waited for a grand total of two minutes for the Buzz Lightyear Laser ride till the girls decided it was lunch time. I said I wasn’t leaving, so they nipped off and got hot dogs, bringing them back to the queue. I was up against Fran in the laser pod, we have to shoot all the alien invaders with the laser guns we have, while the pod spins about and whizzes by them all, I aced it - 141300 to 26700!!!!
We walked behind Maleficent for a while then headed in to ToonTown where Celeste and I went on the Wile E Coyote ride leaving Fran to queue for a pic with Minnie. Once we were off the ride, I joined Fran and got to meet Minnie Mouse then we sped through to meet Mickey!!!!! Incredible how those people stay in that to meet how many people, I’d like to know if they smile in the suit or are just stonefaced the whole time. Met some princesses and got photos with them - Cinderella, Ariel and Snow White. We stopped for a few selfies then went to one of the cafes and got almost front row seats to the 4pm Parade. That was sweet, glad I didn’t miss that, I liked that everyone had their own songs as they came past. The girls wanted more to eat even though we’d said we’d wait, I think Celeste could see how annoyed I was getting with all the stops for food, so she came with me to Pirates of the Caribbean ... GAH!!!! I wanna have my wedding reception in the restaurant there. We got out and Fran was in line to the Haunted Mansion, we joined her, even though I was shitting myself before getting to the ride, once inside, it’s not all that scary. We went on the jungle river cruise, that was filled with sarcasm and Dad jokes, brilliant. Then (yes I know it’s my hundredth then... but it’s Disney) we had a little shoot up at one of the stands in the Western land, stayed there for a long queue for Rocky Mountain. When we finally got to a member of staff, we ... well the girls, asked if we’d make it to the ride and off by the time the light parade started, he said hell no that we had another 20mins of waiting in front of us (which is what I had been saying). It was by now 2000 in the evening and Fran was tired. So we all went on the ride, hopped off and Fran went back to find the bus to get a lift back to the hotel. Celeste and I stayed on at the park. We went on the carousel, Mad Hatter’s Tea Cups, went into the lego store, I built myself an evil R2 unit. Then we had dinner, I had a kids meal, as I’ve said many times, I’m a child. Then there was the Electrical Light parade, and we sat on the curb of Main Street for it, by now I was freezing and it was 2230 and I had sunburn and only Tshirt and Shorts to keep me warm... silly Jessie.
After the parade ended, Celeste and I ran back to the bus as it was the last for the hotel. And that was my day at Disneyland - AMAZING!

Unthinkable CH 18
Tom Hiddleston x reader
Word 3400
Warning nothing
Leaving the Castle was really nice to walk to the hotel, the night was warm and bright and Chris was revved, the Disney parks were the favorite places of his inner child, took Y/N in his arms and turned her improvising a waltzer following the music of the horses carousel, the woman laughed trying to keep the balance when he did the casqué, there was no danger that he let it fall, crossed Phil and the Cheshire Cat with which he had come out that they kissed on a the bench saw her pass and gave a friendly smile Y/N returned and continued hand in hand with her rider,
"Is he one of your friends?" he asked, she nodded, "A little bit I envy him, it must be nice to be able to flirt without anyone taking a picture of you and banging on some scandalistic magazine",
"Well we are walking hand in hand with no worries" Y/N answered,
"Yeah but we're masked so no one will recognize me, in normal conditions tomorrow morning you would be automatically my new girlfriend and we'll be doing a romantic weekend in Disney" laughed stopping and hugging her, the woman let herself be rocked
"So when they see you coming with a stranger to the premier it will be funny," said the woman, thinking about the future evening together,
"That's different, in the official releases it's normal to bring a person the worst magazines make money with photos taken out of context", Y/N thought back to when he read that Chris had a new girlfriend after seeing photos online, in the end it was of his sister but the photos had gone around the web sending into crisis his most fierce fans, she understood that privacy was the most precious asset they owned and tried to defend it at all costs, arrived at the hotel Chris accompanied her to the room,
"And here, my beautiful princess, I give a good night," he said, kissing her hand and making a bow, "In case you need something, they are in the 502",
"My lord, thank you for escorting me," Y/N replied in a tone, "And goodnight to you," said dismissing the magnetic key in the lock, laughing with him as walked away.
"They exaggerated with the scent when they set up the room," she thought as if entering and turning on the light, turned to put the key and found a gigantic bouquet of sunflowers and jasmine, came up but there was no note thought it was another gift from the hotel, took off her tiara and wig and went to the room to look for her phone other flowers had been put on the table, a beautiful bunch of long stemmed bloody roses, came up to smell them and saw a ticket stopped to one of the stalemates with a ribbon, there was nothing written on the envelope and thinking that they were for Rice did not touch it, retrieved the phone and turned it on before reading the various messages warned the others to have arrived, untied the cumbersome dress and finally freed from the corset she got comfortable, read immediately Chris's messages that warned him of his arrival at the park and that he would accompany her to a party, smiled those messages sparkled cheerful even if they were written you, of a completely different tone were the messages that read later, all by Tom,
§ Darling I have finished filming and I would like to see you, I know that you must return to your life but think about it §
§ I am leaving now for Paris I will stay at the usual hotel §
§ Darling all right? §
§ Evans told me that you do not have the phone with you, I hope you will appreciate the flowers § Y / N took the ticket and opened it without wasting time, § I have to talk please call me § , without thinking about it took the phone and dialed the number ,
"Hello" the voice kneaded by sleep made her regret not having first looked what time it was, "Hello, who's talking?" Tom asked again,
"Its me Thomas, I'm sorry, I did not think you could sleep," the woman excused herself, imagining him in the dark lying in bed, she sat down, resting comfortably on the headboard,
"Hey Darling I finally find you, I confess that for a moment I thought I was ignoring when you did not reply to the messages" he laughed gladly that he had called him, "Are you okay?" asked attentively as always,
"Very well, I just came back from the dance," she laughed, stupidly happy to hear him, "I'm sorry I did not reply immediately to the messages but being with my family the phone was more" explained feeling guilty,
"At the charity event you were brought to him ... and luckily I would say" he answered slyly,
"Fortunately, Chris came to tell me and I went back to the hotel" she bit tongue, was saying too much,
"Can I propose an invitation to see you again before you leave for Italy?" Tom asked "I really would like to have some time to talk"
"Thomas .. I ... I do not think it's a good idea" she replied undecided, was silent for a moment "To hell with it, tomorrow when I come back I'll leave in Paris" said not bearing the idea of ​​not seeing him one last time,
"Perfect then I'll wait for you tomorrow, room 1713" the man gave her goodnight and closed the call, Y/N lay down looking at the ceiling, what would he tell Rice and the rest of the family? She was still awake when the others returned,
"Are you already back?" Gian seemed amazed to find her in bed, "We thought to see you again tomorrow morning .. seen the time in fact," the woman looked at the time was almost 6, Rice joined them, the two they exchanged a long look,
"Poppy will not think of going to bed without taking a shower, on that butt and row" laughed helping her get up and following  in the bathroom, "Tell me all beauty," said as undressed, Y/N opened the water,
"What's up?I know that something happened with the Captain, tell me everything ",
"You saw the roses in the room" she started "I'm not from the hotel, Tom sent them to me ..." she stopped to see his friend's expression, "... he sent me 10 messages that I just found, for that I went out with Chris ", no reaction from Rice who continued to soap it,
"Do not come with us," concluded his friend, Y/N nodded head, did not need to talk too much, "I'll wait for you at home then, we have to spend the last night together" he smiled, they finished the shower and went to bed, Rice collapsed shortly after embraced the woman who could not close her eyes.
She turned in bed trying not to wake friend and picked up the phone
§ Do you already sleep? §
§ Of course not .. I'll open § the answer did not wait, Y/N left the room without making noise and ran light and half naked through the corridor leading to the room of the friend hoping not to meet anyone, there was no need of knocking Chris was waiting for her on the door smiling, he put it on his shoulder and closed the door behind him while the woman laughed, put her on the sofa and called the room service
"Good morning, room 502, I would like some Italian coffee and chocolate cake for two" it was 7 o'clock in the morning "I would say that breakfast is there before going to bed" laughed, standing next to the woman who leaned against him,
"Great idea Captain, even if I can not stay much" she answered holding him tight, "If the others wake up and they do not find me a mess happens",
"I imagine, the pirate..Gian?! He seemed quite protective at the party, after having fought with you I doubt anyone can annoy you without being punished" he laughed
"It's my guardian angel, moreover it's overprotective sometimes" she laughed to herself remembering the times when Gian had intervened before she did any damage, the waiter knocked on the door and put the tray on the sofa table before going out, Chris handed her a cup and the cake and waited
"Now that you have your dose of caffeine in your body, start talk" Chris broke the silence first, Y/N did not know what to say and shook her head tightening closer to him, "Everything will be fine Silly" whispered, rocking her,
"Later, when we come back from Rice, they will leave me in Paris, I could not say no to his invitation ..." said in a whisper, she heard Chris laughing,
"Nothing new then," he said tightening, "Take it lightly then, enjoy company and concentrate on premieré that you will spend with me, I have in mind the perfect outfit for you" he laughed mysteriously,
"Now I'm afraid of Sassy" Y/N laughed back,
"A friend creates incredible evening dresses and after seeing you last night I think I'll call her"
"Please, not a princess-style dress, the one I was wearing was beautiful but a unique inconvenience," the woman answered seriously,
"It will be a surprise Silly but I promise you will not regret" he winked, the two were quietly embraced,
"It's almost 8 o'clock I have to go back to my room and try to get some sleep" she said, dissolving embrace, "And you too must rest before leaving", Chris accompanied her to the door,
"See you soon Silly" greeted kissing her,
"See you soon my Captain" laughed back to his room, came back on tiptoe and went back to bed, Chris could make her feel at peace, in the short time they had spent together had grown fond of him and would have missed when she returned home, Rice moved to side looking for her, the woman clung to him and finally fell asleep.
They woke up almost at 12, the others were waiting for them in the living room to have breakfast, after the evening they were all tired and sleepy,
"Phil has not come back yet?" Simo asked, yawning, they looked at each other
"He wrote me a while ago, says he's waiting for him and he's fine," Roby replied, everyone relaxed, it was always like this when some of them left the group to have fun and did not come back, since Y/N remembered they had always taken care of of the other were a family and always would have been,
"Guys, I'll stop in Paris and I'll catch up with you in the evening" she said in a low voice did not want them to worry about her, "Rice's friend wants to spend the day together and as stupid as the idea I accepted" there was a moment of silence he knew they did not agree,
"What do you want us to say we'll wait for you to get drunk with dinner" answered Gian resigned, "You know how we think about this story, if he has another he should not even look for you as a friend",
"Well he has no idea what I feel, he just wants to say hello to a friend who will not see again," said candid Y/N, "I do not see anything wrong with this, it's only half a day I will not be worse than I am now even if I see it ", it was true it would not have been worse than that, indeed for a few hours his heart would have been well and happy, while waiting for Phil to come back moved to prepare the backpacks, the rooms were untidy as always when they were in many, twice checked all the power outlets not to forget battery charge around, ranged at the door and Rice went to open, was the laundry of the hotel with their fresh clothes of laundry, fortunately had done in time to deliver them were all without clean clothes they had brought the bare minimum for that mini trip, Y/N took a shower and got dressed, realizing that she would go to Tom with his shirt on, when the friend arrived was overwhelmed with questions, it was you they were curious to learn more about his companion, he made the mysterious promising that he would tell everything once they arrived home, Simo was the most disappointed of all, they made merry breakfast and went down in the all where a dark car was waiting for them, thanked the manager of the hotel for treatment and left for Paris, Y/N was nervous. Rice hugged her, smiling.
"If for any reason you do not feel comfortable and you want to reach us first, call me and get you back" he said, the woman nodded,
"But if instead of returning now we took a trip around the city and lunch?" Niko suggested, "In the evening we go to take Poppy and go home," they looked and consented, it would have been months before seeing each other in that way was so worthwhile , the trip was short, the park was less than an hour from the city, Rice instructed the driver to continue to Mont Martre and park, got out of the car and stretched out, they were really tired but happy for the unexpected walk, Y/N took the bag greeted the others and walked to the hotel of Tom, activated the map not to get lost and relaxed walking the streets, Paris was really a wonderful city, decided to take the subway to do before, began to have hurry to get there, wrong station twice but finally arrived, the hotel porter gave her a good morning opening the door, the woman went to the reception,
"Hello, are they waiting for me at 1713, can you inform that I'm have arrived?"
"Sure Madame" the girl answered at the reception, "Can you please tell me your name?",
"Y/N" replied agitated, the receptionist dialed the room number and spoke briefly when they replied, "I'll accompany you," she said, waving to the boy next to the elevator "Madame is waiting for 1713",
"If you want to follow me" the boy made her way, they went up 2 floors "The room is the fourth on the left Madame" said holding the door open,
"Thanks, I'm going alone," Y/N said, walking along the lighted corridor, she was a couple of minutes before the knock before knocked, she was so nervous, "Stop being a little girl," said herself, giving off a big smile when heard door it open.
The woman in front of her was exactly as she remembered in the photos, ethereal and beautiful, her smile petrified on face and frost the blood in her veins, because had agreed to go, she was about to turn around and run away
"Y/N I assume" the woman smiled at her, "Come in, Tom is in the shower", Y/N followed her into the living room, "Nice to meet you Samantha, Sammy for friends" said holding out her hand introducing herself, Y/N showed up the bag on the table and still sat with a smile frozen on the face, "Put the notice that you have arrived" and disappeared in the room, too dumbstruck to reason Y/N just sat up until her return, "I order something to eat you want nothing?" she asked, picking up the phone,
"For her only an Italian coffee and savory pancakes Sammy" Tom answered for her going towards, Y/N got up to say hello, "I missed Darling," said tightening her, "That shirt is much better for you than me," whispered. making it blush,
"You missed me too, Thomas," she answered, pulling away from him, keeping calm, "I'm fine, I just had breakfast," said to Sammy, sat down more uncomfortable, just wanted to run away from his family and curl up in a corner,
"How was your trip?" Tom asked, sitting next to her,
"Merry and quiet, the park is close to the city we did in a moment" she answered, trying to smile,
"20 minutes for the order, meanwhile I get dressed" Sammy said passing her hand through Tom's hair as went into the room,
"Tell me about these days at Disney, Chris showed me the pictures you sent him" he said putting an arm around her shoulders, "The one with the candy floss is really beautiful, you looked so happy",
"I loved every second past there, excluding the rides, I fell in love with the butterfly ball" began to tell the woman, "There was a moment of panic when they recognized Rice but the situation did not degenerate" laughed thinking back to screaming fans,
"You do not like attractions?" he asked curiously,
"I like it is my stomach that does not love them, I'm ashamed to say it but I gave stomach on the carousel 3D" tried to laugh as sincerely as possible, that situation was absurd were sitting next to each other, Tom caressed her as always, as an old friend, cheerfully converse Y/N had become adept at not showing anything, inside her the storm was tearing apart, Sammy joined them shortly after, beautiful in her 50s green dress, settled on an armchair extending a hand towards the arm of the man who took her hand,
"Sammy that color gives you as always" he said smiling, Y/N got up had to calm down before exploding,
"Sorry I'm going to the bathroom," said, passing in front of the woman, locked up and anchored with her nails in the sink, looked up and saw her reflection still smiling in the mirror, wanted to break it and scream, "Breathe, keep breathing it's only an afternoon you can do it" said to herself, took the phone and sent a message to Rice to warn him that everything was fine and that she had arrived, did not write anything that would show how she felt, would empty the sack at home, washed her face with the icy water and retraced her steps, found Tom and Sammy on the terrace where a waiter had set for breakfast, they were talking but he could not understand them, he was not English, he looked more like a dialect,
"I know you said you were okay but I still got some coffee," he smiled at her, "When I was at Rice they drank a lot of them," said to Sammy, who looked at him curiously.
"Tom was telling me about when you met," she said as passed the coffee to Y/N
"Do not tell me you got into details!" replied embarrassed, remembered that moment all too well and hoped that the humiliation would not be made public,
"Your secret is safe darling," he winked at her, Y/N was about to ask how they met when the phone ring stopped, Sammy got up and disappeared into the room to answer, the woman took the opportunity to check his, Rice and the others had sent her a voice that made her laugh and melted a part of tension, if things had become too tense they were in town ready to save her,
"Italian is such a musical language that it is a pleasure to hear even if I do not understand what they say" Tom was laughing too,
"I'm sorry to be rude to play with the phone when you're in the company," Y/N said putting the device back in the bag, "The others decided to take a ride in the city before returning home and spend the last night together" ,
"So you do not stop by me?" Tom asked disappointed, "I had organized the evening to be together," the woman did not know what to say, she expected it to stay, was about to reply when Sammy returned,
"Finally they found me a flight, I just run away for less than an hour to get to the airport," she said throwing arms around the man's neck and kissing him, "I'll wait for you next week, do not be late", she turned to Y/N "It was nice to meet you Y/N" she smiled, took the bag and the suitcase and left.
