“Good morning Tom!” You said, pulling the duvet from your best friend’s body and opening the curtains, letting blinding rays of sunshine lighten Tom's dormitory.

Tom groaned and shielded his eyes “Y/N you're killing me!” “Happy birthday!!” You exclaimed, thrusting a present wrapped in dark green wrapping paper and tied closed with a black satin ribbon. “It’s literally six in the morning, Y/N, god.” Tom groused, covering his eyes and turning away from the glaring rays of sunshine “And close the curtains!” You laugh and close the blinds “Vampire” Tom rolled his eyes and got up “Shut up Y/L/N” You laughed and playfully nudged Tom “Shush, I’m just being honest. You’re acting like a vampire.” “Hahaha very funny” Tom said, rolling his eyes again “I’m going to change go away” “You are so mean.” You complained “I even got you a gift” “Y/N I’m going to change. Unless you want to watch me” Tom said with a smirk “Hm?” “Ewwwwww” You whine, frowning at Tom “Your gross” Tom smiled in amusement “You didn’t want to leave, so I assumed you wanted to.” You scrunch your nose, disgusted “No,” “Mmmm? Don’t be so harsh darling~” You mimicked gagging “Tom stop I’m going to be sick.” Tom laughed, stroking your cheek gently with his hand “Okay my love,” You roll your eyes and walk out of the room, your heart beating two beats a second. Y/N, calm down, he was just being his flirty self. It’s fine… You silently chided yourself, calming your breathing. “Y/N, I’m done changing” Tom said, peeking his beautiful face through the door. “You can come back in.” You nodded “Okay Riddle.” Tom chuckled and opened the door for you, smirking the whole time. “Thank you, Tom.” You said, picking up the present and smiling up at him “Can you open your present now?” “Is this a muggle…. Tradition? It’s very.. Odd” Tom noted, taking the present “why wrapped boxes?” You snort-laughed “Tom, do you live under a rock?? It’s a birthday tradition not only for muggles! And it’s not a ‘wrapped box’, it's a present!” Tom looked at you with a confused look “What do I do with it?” “Oh my Lord Tom, you open it!” You laughed, putting the present in Tom’s lap. “What is the point of wrapping it all nice if you’re going to open it anyway?” “Ughhhhhh Tom just open it, goddammit!” Tom chuckled again, “Okay, if you insist.” Tom pulled the satin string, untying the bow and began ripping off the tape. You sighed “Tom, you can rip the paper, it’s okay.” Tom looked at you blankly “But why did you wrap it if I’m going to rip the paper?” “Nevermind” You groaned, shaking your head. Tom shrugged and ripped the paper with guilt. “Why is there another box?” “Open iiiittttttttttttttttt!” You said excitedly, almost vibrating with eagerness. Tom looked at you with complete bewilderment. “Okay..” He opened the box and looked at the small silver, snake-shaped ring. “Is this an engagement ring my love?”

“Ew no” You said, sticking your tongue out. “It’s a birthday present.” Tom nodded and smirked “If you say so darling~ Why do I get gifts on my birthday?” You rolled your eyes at Tom “I know 100% now that you are a vampire that lives under a rock.”

“Y/N what did you get Tom?” Marcus Wadsworth asked with a smirk on his face “A kiss, perhaps?” You laughed, shoving Marcus “No!” “We were so sure our ship sailed” Orlando Lopez sighed, also smirking slightly. “Hey mothertruckers~” Tom said, the silver snake ring glistening on his middle finger “Has my ship perhaps sailed?” he added, his smirk widened when he saw Marcus and Orlando sitting shoulder-to-shoulder at the table. Orlando blushed but Marcus smirked and gave him a kiss on the cheek. “Imagine shipping your friends.” Marcus said, smirking. “Imagine you shipping your friends,” You retorted. Tom smirked “Who do you ship Y/N with? Hmm?” “You.” Orlando said, looking at Marcus who was now sitting in his lap. “Oh really~” Tom said, smirking at you “What do you think, my love?~” “About being shipped with a vampire? Not great” You said, grinning, sarcasm dripping in your voice. “Lol” Marcus said “Shut up Wadsworth.” Orlando rested his head in the crook of Marcus’ neck “Y/N, we’re having a double date with you and Tom and we’re going to the carnival tonight.” You stared at him “A double date? With me and Tom?” “Mmhm” Marcus hummed, smirking. “You guys are dating? Since when?” Tom asked, looking between Orlando and Marcus “Oh my God.” “Tom, I support them more than you because I set them up.” You said smugly, playfully shoving him. “Oooohh someones flirting~~” Orlando stage-whispered, with a large smirk. “Orlando Lopez I’m not flirting.” You huffed, feeling heat rise in your face. “Sureeee” Marcus smirked even wider, which you didn’t know was possible. “Mmm~” Tom smirked and put his hand on your thigh “calm down my love~” Marcus and Orlando chuckled as your face turned red. “I ship.” Orlando said “I ship them more.” Marcus said, giving Orlando’s cheek again. “Whatever guys shut up.” You said, blushing, your heart beating nine times faster at Tom’s hand sitting on your thigh.

You put on a nice green outfit before you left your dormitory later that evening.

“Oooohh someone’s dressed up~” Marcus, who was dressed in a white tank-top and nice black jeans, said, smirking and clinging onto Orlando, who was wearing a hoodie and nicer jeans. “Oh my god.” Orlando said, and at first, you thought he was staring at you, but you noticed he was looking at something past you. “Holy shit..” Marcus said, receiving a soft slap from Orlando “Language mister.” “What?” you asked, ignoring Marcus’ language and turning around “Holy….” Tom dressed in a white shirt and a green vest, black dress pants and dress shoes. “Hey sweetheart~” Tom said with a smirk, putting his arm around your waist. “You look nice~” You blushed and your stomach fluttered but you smiled “Thank you, you look nice as well.” Tom smirked and gave you a quick cheek kiss. “Orlando, can you dress like that sometime?” Marcus asked, looking at his boyfriend with puppy-eyes. “Shut up.”

“Is this another muggle tradition? Or like, recreation or something?” Tom asked, looking around the carnival with a mixture of confusion, admiration, and disgust. “Yes, Tom, even I know what a carnival is, god.” Marcus said with an eyeroll. “Marc, be nice.” Orlando chided “he was raised in an orphanage.” Tom grimaced slightly but caught himself and the smirk returned to his beautiful face. “Yes. What do you do at this… carnival?” You smiled and slipped your hand into Tom’s “You can buy food, go on rides, and that kind of stuff,” Tom nodded slowly “But you can buy food at a grocery store. Why would they sell food here if they only come once a year?” You laughed “Tom, they sell cotton candy, candy apples, and popcorn. It’s really good, trust me.” Marcus smirked, “Your relationship is adorable, I swear to god.” he said, resting his chin on Orlando’s shoulder. “I love the way Tom knows nothing and it’s his first time for everything and it’s with you.” Orlando told you with a half smile half smirk. “Guys I’m hungry, can we get food?” Tom blurted, eyeing the food cart. “The smell is making me hungry.” You smiled, “I told you it’ll be good.” “Who’s paying? I’ll pay.” Orlando said, taking out his wallet. “Okayy thank you.” You said, smiling at Orlando and pulling Tom to the cart, Marcus and Orlando following behind you. “Hello. What would you like today?” The cashier asked sweetly when you arrived, giving you, Tom, Marcus, and Orlando a big smile. “Uh,” Orlando paused and counted everyone under his breath “four candy apples please.” “I want cotton candyyy” Marcus said, looking at Orlando with puppy-eyes. “I want cotton candy too!” You said, looking briefly at Tom and also looking at Orlando pleadingly.

“Okay fine. Four candy apples and two cotton candy.” Orlando said to the cashier, who smiled at him and said: “Okay, that would be… 27.86 please.”

After Orlando payed for the food, you found a empty table and sat down, you and Tom on one side and Marcus and Orlando on the other (though they only took up one spot because Orlando sat with Marcus in his lap) “What is this…. Pink cloud thing?” Tom asked, poking the cotton candy in your hand with his finger cautiously. You snorted “It’s cotton candy, Tom!” Tom titled his head as he looked at you “How can it be cotton and candy at the same time?” You rolled your eyes and Marcus and Orlando laughed “Nevermind. It’s good, try it.” Tom gingerly took the stick and took a small bite. “……” “It’s good.” Tom said finally after swallowing the small piece of cotton candy. “You never ate cotton candy before? Damn!” Marcus said, his mouth stuffed with candy apple. Orlando rolled his eyes “Don’t speak with your face stuffed, Marc” “Your nickname for Marcus is cute,” You said with a slight smirk on your face. “Mmm, I can give you a cuter nickname~” Tom said to you, softly caressing your hair. “Don’t lie.” “How about… Princess?” Tom said, smirking still. “No..” You said in a teasing voice. “..Kitty?” “Still no,” Tom thought for a second then a wicked grin appeared on his face “Princess Kitty.” Marcus weezed and took a swig of water that only made him choke more. “Shit Marc,” Orlando laughed, patting his boyfriend’s back. “I’m fine, I’m fine.” Marcus weezed. “Marcus chokes so easily.” Tom noted. “Shut up.” “Tom, do you like the cotton candy?” You asked with a smile, resting your head on Tom’s shoulder. “Yes, my love~” Tom whispered, brushing your hair with his hand “I do~” You smiled “Good.” “You guys are adorable~” Marcus whispered, sitting next to Orlando and smirking at you and Tom. “Shut up.” You said, blushing. Tom laughed and smirked “Can I get a kiss?~” he asked you, twirling your H/C hair between his fingers. You flushed bright pink but smiled “Okayy.” Tom smiled and pressed his lips against yours, kissing you softly. He tasted like cotton candy and faintly of mint gum.

When Tom pulled away, he caressed your neck softly “You're adorable~” “Riddle be quiet.”

These Show That We're Brothers! (Harmonic Heroes AU)

Branch studied the younger twins closely.

"What we need is something to show that we're a family. Something like..."

His eyes glanced over to a vest sitting on top of his small bedside dresser. That vest was Floyd's old vest that he left behind in favor of his red puffy vest the day the rest of his family left to fight their parents.

It was the only thing Branch had left of his dead family. But now, Cooper and Darnell were like his family.

Looking at the leafy vest again gave him an idea.

---

A few days later, he approached the twins with some green cloth in his hands.

"So, guys, I went over to talk to those fashion twins the other day and got them to make these pieces of cloth for us."

Upon showing them the fabric, Darnell's eyes widened.

"Wait B, isn't that your dead brother's vest?"

Cooper let out a gasp.

"That's the only thing you got of him left!"

The gray trolling gave them a small smile.

"That vest was a way for me to hang on to what was left of my family. But we're brothers now, and as brothers, I thought it would be cool to wear something that shows that!"

He tied the cloth to the pair's necks in a triangle bandana fashion.

"The vest represented my family then, and it still does now; it just looks different!"

He tied the last remaining cloth to his wrist.

"By wearing this, we'll never be apart!"

not only i do not subscribe to the idea that Watari imposed L's role on the wammy’s residents (for different reasons) or that wammy’s was created just for L, but I also don't understand how that would work. Mello and Near are from the fourth generation (debatable but regardless, they don't seem to be from the second) and if they are the successors, it means that the people chosen from the prior generations either died or decided to back down. It's highly unlikely that everyone died, and if they decided to back down, that simply means that people can just do so, which goes against the most common headcanon in this fandom. I could accept that they all went into hiding, if only it weren't for the fact that Mello, Near and L are highly competitive individuals so there must be someone before Mello and Near that wanted to be L, especially because the way Wammy’s is structured leads to competitiveness. So what happened to those people, that at the time L dies are mostly adults? I think they would surely be the first choices, just because they are older. They don't even have to be individually the smartest people, because they can work together. I will always think that A and B's generation is also L's, so it would make sense that after A's death, the project was put on hold for a while, so nobody was actually chosen from the 2nd and 3rd generation (still debatable - do they actually exist or Mello’s came immediately after?). They probably weren't even introduced to the idea of a successor programme, so they had no idea of that, and only after, as L was getting more well known (and maybe even after B's attempt to ruin him or whatever he wanted to do) or when he started the Kira case, the successor programme was reinstalled. Still, no one is forcing anyone to be L. Near and Mello want to win, to be him. As Mello could just walk out of the Wammy’s, they could also say, fuck no, but they didn't. True that the Wammy’s could idolise L, but if we take as canon what he said to the kids and the fact that some began to dislike him, he doesn't want to be seen as an idiol and the kids are not brainwashed into thinking that.

Its heartbreaking reading Roses diary.

Like even in the privacy of those pages she's trying to hold herself as an adult, and when she slips and acts like a scared kid she corrects herself with "You're the big sister".

She's writing over her drawings, she's putting sparrows needs before hers and attempting to put their wants too. Like she gets that piece of coal to write with, and scribbles out her thoughts but in it expresses that she wants to finish a story shes writing for Sparrow. She could have easily written more I'm sure theres more on her mind but shes saving it so her little sibling can get the end of their bedtime story. And because of Lucien she never gets to finish that story.

Rose is a little girl, playing parent to a sibling that can't speak, and no ones helping her.

She had a creepy man trying to prey on her, her 'shelter' barely even had a roof, and none of the adults in the town cared to do anything despite being there for at least a year. Like the people know her, thats shown with her interactions with Derek, but they don't care enough and the only people that did only cared to see them through the one winter they were in town for.

The way she's failed makes me so sad all the time

I've been happy with the improved quality of language in the recent English kuroshitsuji chapters, which led me to wonder whether Yen had changed the translator since what I'll dub the "Late 2022 - Early 2023 Oopsie Woopsie Era"

so if anyone else is at all interested, I did some digging:

The same translator has been working on kuro since 2009 - however she's not a native English speaker and not entirely fluent.

A lot of manga companies used to do this, where a native Japanese speaker would do the initial translation and then other people would edit it into English that makes sense (these people are called adapters). Nowadays, most manga companies just hire native English translators who are fluent in JP. I think Yen must've skipped the adapting process on kuro for some time between 2022-23 because otherwise the sudden increase in mistakes makes no sense for someone who's been working on the series for so long (Doll's pronouns, Sebastian's literal catchphrase, phrasing that makes no sense in eng, etc). For this translator they definitely should've still kept an adapter... but it seems like they must've started adapting the translations again recently, which I really appreciate <3

yeah jarl balgruuf is cool i guess but why is there a homeless orphan living in his city. this man canonically sneaks out to go get drinks at the bannered mare there’s no way he doesnt know lucia is out there and oh what do you know while writing this post i looked her up and one of her voice lines is that balgruuf doesnt acknowledge her when she gives him flowers. sir get off your fucking high horse about how honorable you are when you arent doing anything about the homeless orphan living on your front steps.

Thirteen years old Regulus rubbed his eyes sleeply as he sneaked to the orphanage's kitchen, it was midnight, he desired a glass of water and didn't want to wake up his brother.

Standing near the kitchen door his eyes fell across the hall, a large window was there with a boy sitting on the sill.

He slowly approached, observing the ragged shirt and the old tatty trousers the boy wears. He was from the other side of the orphanage, the poor side.

Regulus felt a little uneasy as he played with the hem of his velvety night robes.

The boy turned his gaze to him, blinking slowly as if confused to see little Regulus there late at night.

"well hey there pretty boy, what's your name?"

(Don't forget to take some breaks and drink water!)

O'Brien never cursing vs Adam... being Adam lol

Pretty much what the other nuns were like having to deal with Adam Murray's bullshit 24/7 lmao

Someone check on Justin!?

Okay, but where did the kids even learn to gamble?

Kate probably was taught by her circus family, and they'd play without real money, just for fun and to mess with each other when it inevitably dissolved into wild cheating.

Sticky I'd imagine picked up a book purely for the strategy, and enjoys getting to have a certain win at a game most people think is chance because of math.

Constance picked it up some indeterminable time before she came to be with Mr. Benedict and regularly cheated people. She'd walk right up and challenge someone/invite herself to play, and now she's banned from every bar, casino, and casual game in Stonetown.

Reynie I honestly don't think has ever played before in his life. He may have read about it at some point, but he has a very loose grasp on how to practically apply it, even though he has all the rules memorized. (He probably went through a phase of learning a bunch of games in case anyone ever asked him to play.)

Even with the risk of getting caught, Camilla still wants to visit Fontaine, she knows about the prophecy and worries that if it's real, she won't get another chance. If she has a chance to, she'd want to visit her old orphanage, as dilapidated and ruined as it is now.

Clark backs off so SJW Superman can bust up this orphanage racket!
