So... I did a thing...! E/rasermic wav..!
A/izawa suffering an allergy attack as he comes home to his husband M/ic. (script and voices by me, most sound effects by me, a couple from P/ixabay)
It's not excellent by any means, and I didn't change my 'M/ic' voice, only the A/izawa one, but first attempts and all that! I've been working on this for a bit, and decided it's either 'post it' or 'let it keep consuming me', so I'm going with posting!
I'm not a naturally sneezy person, and don't have anything to cause fits, so it might be a bit jumpy, but I tried to do my best to make it flow well! If anyone bothers to listen to this, I hope it's enjoyable and not too rough for a first attempt~~
#waterfallwav#ahaha im terrified <3#but also this has been rotting me inside out so if i dont post it im gonna just keep working on it#and it wont be getting better then this#sooooo im gonna try to let my perfectionism go a little bit and accept that#first tries arent gonna be perfect#but maybe it'll be good enough for now!!#again thank you so much to anyone who bothers to listen!!!#im gonna go hide in some music now ahaha~#m/ha#e/rasermic#snz#snzkink

rewatching the OVAs (netflix s2)
low key one of my fave intros art wise (we all know howling by granrodeo is my fave intro song lol) like the suits !! are so !! cute!!!
and this frame is adorable !!
I love the search for hawk sm theyre all so fucking cute
Meliodas casually dropping “you are my purpose in life” to Elizabeth like a month after they met is INSANE. Bc from his side, makes sense. Fell in love when they were young from opposite sides of a war, risked everything to be together, have been finding and losing each other for 3000 years. But from her side, he is a cool guy she has a crush on (who is at least 15ish years older than her) who she might have known as a child. He also just described her as his entire life’s purpose. Like bro THATS CRAZYYY
Seeing Meliodas destroy the horn of cernunos is such a badass moment to me. The way he responds to her taunting with direct action and violence rather than his usual merciful beating around the bush. My favorite Mel moments are when he is using his silly goofy little guy façade and suddenly has to drop it. This is when we see a glimpse of who he was when leading the 10 commandments: arrogant, powerful, and constantly full of rage
it just so happens that arrogant, powerful, and constantly full of rage are my most prized qualities in any character
WAIT HOLY SHIT IS THE “HEINOUS SIN” MELIODAS IS CONSIDERING THAT THE GODDESS SAYS WILL DRIVE EVERYONE HE LOVES AWAY REFERRING TO HIS PLAN TO BECOME THE DEMON KING ?!?!?!?
THAT WOULD MAKE SO MUCH SENSE AND ADDS LOWKEY A TON CHARACTER MOTIVATION TO EVERYTHING ELSE MEL DOES FROM HERE ON OUT
maybe everyone knew this and im late to the game but damn that would be so cool
im pretty sure ban switches out his red leather for the long burgundy coat is bc he keeps getting stabbed front to back and the coat has a hole in the back so the weapon wont tear it lolll😭
i feel like their faces (esp meliodas’s) look a tiny bit janky in the OVAs
once again appreciating the intro 😌
They’re so fucking cute !!
Merlin and Ban clearly don’t rlly like each other much yet and it’s so funny to me
Like these are Meliodas’s closest friends and they just kinda annoy each other a lot
it’s like fuckin icarly
Gustav: the captain and one of his fellow sins going one on one? We might neve see something like this again!
hahahahaha nooo. i mean gustav didn’t, he’s dead. but the rest will el ol el
Gil is the biggest dork to ever live and howzer is concerned. Mans is crying at watching them fight and howzer is just like … ok ??
Bartra: where the fuck is my daughter
his daughter: literally watching a cage fight
MELIODAS RIPS OFF BAN’S FUCKING ARM AND SMACKS HIM WITH IT AHSDBFKSKFSDHFFK LOLLLL
theyre literally the cutest
bestiesss (boyfriends)
every one of these bitches is a fucking alcoholic
ban’s whole character is that he’s a depressed, violent alcoholic and I love him
my horrible secret is that im skipping through a lot of ova 3 bc im just not a kiane girlie😔
i do love diane tho she so babygirl
nakaba’s not even thinly veiled size kink strikes again. Seriously, i can fuck with it, but its so funny that every single main ship has a significant/abnormal height difference
hendy and dreyfus are so gay for each other im genuinely surprised it’s not canon
like look at this scene and tell me something lgbt is not happening here
omg my pfp !!
Howzer’s dad is such a dick i love it
Meliodas using the sugar spoon to full counter is literally so fucking cute, i love when they have to use dumb weapons
but also vivian lost to a tiny spoon hehe
bet gil regrets not killing vivian after she kidnaps and permanently fucks up his son ahaha🥲
Merlin being fucking terrifying saying that vivian should have realized that she is a monster is why im gay
Meanwhile Meliodas:
I love when his face does that he’s so baby
KASDBFKLHDFNWDKF GIL, HOWZER, AND GRIAMOR ALL BEGING HORNY ABT “MATURE WOMAN” MERLIN
anyway time to start season 2!!
#tess rambles on her nnt rewatch#tess rambles#nnt#elizabeth nnt#merlin nnt#bandit ban#banlaine#melban#ban nnt#7ds#meliodas#nanatsu no taizai#seven deadly sins#diane nnt#king nnt#elizabeth liones#bamf!elizabeth

☆personally i survive tiktok by forgetting it exists 99% of the time. i reinstall it every 3-4 months use it for like 14 hours straight and then uninstall it immediately after and it works quite well
☆but yea in my experience most people on tiktok have little to no media literacy and im starting to think theyre not even in the fandom for the characters - theyre in it to argue and cause issues and pick each other apart for the tiniest thing. they dont care much about the actual characters themselves at all, they just care about who's enjoying those characters in a "better" and more "morally correct" manner. it's like a competition to them (which is so very. sad.)
☆tiktok terrifies me ahaha
SO FUCKING REAL
i can partially explain why they barely have media literacy, and it can be so easily explained by the fact that tiktok is like. the 6th most popular social media in the entire fucking world.
so many people, usually kids, come onto tiktok as their first social media app and learn internet and media literacy there.
THIS is why it's important to stop misinformation!!!! THIS is why it's important to try and be kind and teach ppl instead of being mean on there but it's JUST NOT THE CASE ON THERE!!!!!!!!!!!! it's so bad!!!!!
they find something interesting (undertale, characters and AUs) and they go on the silly little socmed app and find all these shitty opinions by horribly loud people and then they get influenced.
and they're influenced by it. because it's their FIRST fandom experience. and that fucking!!!! sucks!!!!!!!!
these people are forced to look at things they should be shamelessly enjoying and forced to worry about the fact whether or not they're morally correct when it's literally just things that make them happy.
it makes them grow up feeling guilty. and i think that's fucking awful.

The two of you had found Eustass laid out by the lake, reclined in an old lawn chair with his head resting on his prosthetic arm, a solo cup held in his other. Killer was sitting beside him carrying on casual conversation, seemingly just relaxing by the lake. Their chairs were plopped onto the shore, feeble metal legs shoved amidst the pebbles and grainy sand of the lake shore. It was a pretty view, that was for sure. The lake was deep in emerald greens, fading to the light cerulean shades as the water got more shallow.
Reeds and cattails framed the edges of the water, thick layers of lily pads decorated the shallows, soft chirps from frogs and crickets filling the air. Your eyes caught on a shiny dragonfly, watching it flit amidst the grass and pebbles before skittering out of your view. The long pier that stretched out into the lake was made of an old but sturdy wood, the sun-bleached planks always warm from the afternoon rays. It had a few inlets where small kayaks were tied, drifting lazily from the small ripples in the calm lake.
Trees bordered the perimeter and you could see one part of the lake drifting off around a bend, curious as to what lay beyond what was blocking your view. Distant coos from doves and summer birds sounded from all around you. The sky overheard was a crystal shade of blue and was scattered with soft, fluffy white clouds. You could make out the shape of a distant hawk soaring through the wide blue far over the tree line. The whole scene was picture perfect and seemed like something out of a postcard.
Franky’s shed stood to one side of the pier, affixed with a few signs warning campers to not swim alone, to wear life jackets, all the usual safety regulations. Its old wood was graying, but it still stood strong, kept in perfect shape by your fellow counselor. You knew he’d already checked out the interior, made sure all of the fishing rods were clean and functional, and that the oars were all sturdy and firm. He loved taking care of the things inside, and patching up the kayaks and canoes if there ever was an accident that damaged them.
The two men on the shore were alerted to your presence as your shoes crunched on the sand and grit, Ace trailing a few steps behind you as you marched over to Eustass, mustering up as much courage as you could. Why did he have your walkie? You could clearly see the hunk of metal that was his own walkie hanging from his waist, he didn’t need two of them. Besides, he had Killer with him too, and Killer had his own respective walkie as well.
“Long time no see, sweetheart!” Eustass cheered, his words falling into his signature raucous laugh as a twisted grin marred his features. He had pushed himself up from his chair, straightening to his full height of six-foot-nine. It was genuinely terrifying, and you had to will your legs to keep moving as you approached him. “Come to drink with us?” Eustass purred, clutching the solo cup in his grip and holding it out to you.
Quickly declining, you rubbed the back of your neck nervously. You heard Ace drop the box of walkies neatly on the shore, standing behind you with crossed arms. “Ah, no, that’s okay. I get you guys have your little ritual thing but I don’t really drink—“ You trailed off with a sigh, reminding yourself to stay focused. Who was he, anyways? Just some stupid mechanic blessed with a few extra inches of height. Nothing to be scared of, you’d be fine. “I actually came to get my walkie back.” You nodded affirmatively, steeling your nerves as you crossed your arms.
“Why do you have it, anyways?” Ace piped up from behind you, resting his elbow on your shoulder. “If you can’t figure out how it works, you can just ask for help instead of taking a second one.” The ravenette shrugged, his tanned skin practically glowing in the summer light.
“I know how it works, moron.” Eustass spat, a malicious sneer crossing his face. You internally begged Ace to just keep his mouth shut, you did not want to get on the mechanic’s bad side. “You’d probably say no if I just asked you outright, so I had to get a little sneaky.” The tall redhead shrugged, his eyes glinting with something dark.
“Say no to.. what exactly?” You frowned, furrowing your brow. What did he want from you? The two of you hardly ever spoke more than a word or two every week, so why was he so intent on getting you out here? You were on worse terms with him than Ace, which was saying a lot.
“You sound like a pervert, Eustass.” Ace deadpanned, idly scratching his head before shifting his weight on his feet. You shot him a glare, to which he just grinned as if he wasn’t purposely riling up the man who could probably break all of your bones with a calculated punch.
“And you are a pervert, Portgas.” Eustass sneered, unclipping your lovingly decorated walkie-talkie from his belt and striding over to you, pushing Ace away with a hand to his face. You resisted a giggle as the ravenette looked pissed off for half a second, then replaced his cool demeanor. Your amusement vanished in an instant as the mechanic dangled your walkie just out of your reach, entertained by your inability to recover your precious instrument. “Don’t be so eager, doll.”
You huffed, giving up in your tirade as you crossed your arms over your chest, an annoyed twitch of your eyebrow present as Eustass was beginning to piss you off. “What’s your damage, Eustass? What the hell do you want?” You growled, though something in the back of your mind was screaming at you to shut up and put as much distance between yourself and the violence-inclined red-haired giant in front of you.
If anything, your frustration only seemed to amuse Eustass further, and he grinned. “If this is one of your weird fantasies, Kid, we don’t want any part of it.” Ace shoved his hands neatly into his pockets as he whistled to some made up tune, kicking at the sand under his boots.
“Portgas I swear I—“
“What do you want?!” You shouted, repeating yourself again. You didn’t need the two getting into a fight on the first day. “I haven’t done anything to you, have I?” You huffed. You had scoured your brain for anything that you could have possibly done to piss the mechanic off, and you had come up blank.
“You’re the only counselor that hasn’t done the ritual.” Killer spoke up, standing just off to the side. His stature was confident, his shoulders broad. His golden blond hair shone in the bright light of the afternoon. He was just slightly shorter than his friend, his signature striped mask set securely in place despite the heat.
You were confused for a split second before your eyes widened. Thinking hard, you listed off every counselor in your mind. Luffy, Nami, Ace, hell, even Chopper did the damn ritual that Killer was talking about. Nervousness filled your body, and you took a step back, only to bump into Ace. You were effectively trapped in the circle of taller men, each of them staring at you.
The ritual was a yearly thing that the more daring of the counselors did in the days before the campers arrived. You had to climb up onto the tallest outcropping over the lake, one affectionately nicknamed “heartbreak hill”, and jump almost seventy feet into the water below. It was a feat not for the faint of heart, and you’d managed to slip out of it in your previous years. You knew Luffy, Ace, and Kid did it every year, finding some kind of sick pleasure in torturing themselves with the adrenaline rushes, but you were perfectly happy staying safely on the shore.
Turning and staring at Ace, he just shrugged, “I mean, he’s right.” You sent the freckled man a scowl, hoping that he would’ve offered you an out, but he seemed just as intent on your early demise as Kid and Killer. Your attention was drawn back to Kid as he cackled, loud and low.
“Can’t get out of it this year, dolly!” He grinned, bracing his arms on his hips. “Ya got until sundown, and one of us has to be a witness.” You gulped before shaking your head, your hands balling up into fists. You could say no! The boys were intimidating as hell, that was for sure, but they couldn’t force you to do anything you didn’t want to.
“You can’t make me jump.” You sneered, deciding instead to cross your arms over your chest. “The ritual is stupid anyways, I’m not an adrenaline whore like the rest of you.” Killer put a hand over his mask as if to cover his mouth at your words, and you heard Kid sigh.
“Nah, you’re right. We can’t. But, we can…“ He lifted your walkie-talkie in his good hand, before cocking back his arm. He was prepped to hurl your device to the deepest part of the lake, his eyes narrowed as a sickeningly sly grin stretched over his face. “..Do this!” He shot his arm forward, and you screeched a ‘No!!’ before leaping into the air and grabbing onto his forearm, your legs dangling slightly in the air.
“Fine! Fine, I’ll do it.” You grumbled, still eyeing the colors of your walkie in Kid’s grip. A triumphant grin stretched across the redhead’s face, his dark lipstick always impeccable. He lowered his arm enough that your feet hit the sand, letting you down as his eyes swirled with mischief. You huffed, letting go of him and putting distance between yourself and the ginger.
“Atta’ girl.” His grin turned into a dark smirk, and you suddenly felt safer with the pyromaniac behind you than you did with the mechanic in front of you. “I’ll just hold onto this for ya, for the time being. Wouldn’t want it to sink in the lake after you jump, now would we?” Kid leered, clipping your walkie back to his belt and giving the side of it an affectionate flick with a painted nail.
You were nearly fuming, and still entirely unsure as to why Eustass was so adamant about you doing the ritual, but you had put too much time and effort into lovingly decorating your walkie-talkie that you couldn’t bear to see disappear into the depths of the crystalline camp lake. It wasn’t just a hunk of metal to you, you had memories attached to the little box. Every year you had added something new to the design to remind you of that summer’s events and it was covered in mementos and inside jokes that were priceless to you.
Scrunching up your face, you stuck your tongue out at Eustass, before spinning on your heel and stomping away. You needed to build up your courage before sundown and that was nearly impossible with the giant staring you down. “Remember your deadline, angel!” Kid cackled, not bothering to follow after you since he still held your walkie hostage. You flipped him off over your shoulder, shouting for Ace to get the box and follow you.
Ace had scrambled to scoop the box up, his boots digging into the dirt as he hurried to catch up to you. It was quiet for a moment before he broke the silence, watching your back as you stormed down the path away from the lake.
“You coulda said no, y’know! Eustass is a bastard, but he wouldn’t have forced you to jump if you really didn’t want to.” He shrugged, adjusting the box under his arm. In an instant, you had spun on him, nearly getting steamrolled before Ace quickly stopped in his tracks.
“Thank you for your input, peanut gallery, I know.” You rolled your eyes, picking up a stick and smacking Ace on the shoulder, the bundle of leaves still attached nearly suffocating him as you attacked him weakly. He managed to dodge most of your swings, but the last one caught him in the mouth and he was left sputtering leaves. “But my beloved walkie would have suffered, and I really don’t want to see it sink to its watery grave.”
Pivoting, you kept ahold of your branch in case Ace decided to say something else that you deemed stupid. “Okay, fair point, but I didn’t need to taste leaves for you to get your point across.” He huffed, picking up the pace behind you. “If it makes you feel any better, the jump really isn’t that bad, just close your eyes and hold your breath and it’s over in a second.” The ravenette spoke matter-of-factly, nodding his head as the trail widened enough for him to walk alongside you.
“That’s not the part I’m worried about, pyro. That part of the lake isn’t as deep as the rest of it, and the rocks at the bottom of the cliff are definitely real.” You used your hands to mimic jumping off the cliff and landing with a big explosion onto the boulders and mires at the base of the rock face.
Ace laughed, hearty and deep, a sound that nearly had you swaying on your feet. “Nah, you don’t have anything to worry about. The water’ll catch ya. Now if it was someone like Zoro jumping, he might need to freak, since he’s more dense than you are. Literally and figuratively.”
“I’m surprised you didn’t shatter, since you’re about as dense as the cliff itself.”
“Why thank you, sweetheart.”
His cheeky retort had you scoffing, choosing instead to focus on the path ahead. Pacing back to the main road of the camp, the two of you looked around for other counselors. Most everyone had retreated to their assigned cabins, even the kitchen of the dining hall was empty. You heaved a sigh since it meant you’d have to wander all across camp again. Your poor, poor legs.
You had decided to take one of the smaller boxes from the dining hall and divide up the rest of the walkies. Ace would take the ones for the Newgate and New World cabins, while you’d take the ones for the TSGM and doctor cabins. You smiled as you admired each of the carefully decorated instruments, enjoying that you could see each counselor’s distinct personality in the way they designed their walkie. You were more than happy to get away from Ace, especially since you no longer needed his help now that the box was much lighter.
He’d gone off with a wink and a flick of his sun-bleached orange hat, promising that he wouldn’t be gone for too long, to which you stuck your tongue out and hoped he’d get lost in the woods around camp. You went to find one of your closest confidants, Nami.
+++
“What a dirtbag! Who does he think he is, forcing you to go through something like that!” Nami was pacing back and forth in the admissions building, her walkie secured beside her three-part walking stick that hung on her belt. It was designed cutely, with tangerines and pinwheels neatly painted on it.
“Exactly what I was thinking. But I don’t want my walkie to become fish food, so I have to jump.” You sighed, slumping over the main desk as you toyed with a stray pen you’d found, spinning it in your hand.
“Why does he want you to jump so bad anyways? Why’d he take your stuff in the first place?” Nami was working herself into a tizzy, fuming as she paced. She was just as frustrated as you were, if not more so. Your old friend was pretty protective over you, especially when it came to drama over men. You could tell that she was just itching to smother Kid with his own bunk pillow.
“No idea. I’ve found it’s better to just think he’s insane rather than to try and find a motive.” You nodded solemnly, watching as the pen you were messing with left little ink marks on the counter when you twirled it.
The ginger huffed, letting out a noise of frustration. She seemed to regain herself as she turned to you, leaning against the counter. After watching you twirl the pen, she let out a soft sigh, releasing some of her built up anger. “…So are you actually gonna do it?” Nami absentmindedly turned the friendship bracelets she had on her wrist.
You dropped your head onto your arms, letting out a groan. “…Yeah. I’m trying to work up the courage right now. I didn’t exactly plan to jump off a seventy-foot cliff when I left for camp.” Your mind was spinning in circles and nervousness tugged at the pit of your stomach. You never were the type to go chasing after the wild somersaulting of your heart that came with adrenaline rushes, you preferred to leave that to the trio of impulsive brothers that you were friends with.
You tugged on Nami’s hand until she held it out to you, using the pen you were fiddling with to draw little scribbles on her skin. Her soft brown eyes followed your movements as you inked miniature flowers and hearts. “It’s not that scary in hindsight, if it helps any. It’s over in an instant so you don’t really have time to be scared. Then again, Luffy did push me off for mine, so it could be different for you.” She spoke with her usual melodic tone, something that offered you comfort.
You were reminded of the year prior when Nami had made her way up to heartbreak hill claiming she was going to jump, before her anxiety got the better of her. Luffy had run up behind her and given her a massive shove, sending them both tumbling into the cold lake below. Neither of them were hurt, but Nami held a grudge for most of the summer and Luffy wasn’t able to stop laughing if someone brought it up.
“What about that part of the lake? Aren’t there rocks and stuff?” You hummed, chewing anxiously at the inside of your cheek. “What if I hit one? Can you die from falling into water from that height?” Each of your questions were perfectly reasonable, and caused Nami to give you a caring smile.
“It’s safe. Well, as long as you don’t jump like Eustass did last year and land on your stomach.” The two of you shared a look before busting out into laughter, remembering the events of the summer prior. Eustass had been boasting and chasing his adrenaline high, forgetting to pivot his body in air as he fell. He landed with a loud slap into the water, earning raucous, hysterical laughter from Ace and Luffy, a smirk from Law, and concerned gasps from most everyone else. He’d pulled himself out of the lake, a bit woozy but otherwise fine, a crooked grin on his face. You had no idea how his ribs weren’t shattered, but the male counselors at camp seemed to have a running theme of superhuman resilience.
“I don’t plan on doing that.” You giggled, still covering the back of Nami’s hand in faint doodles. “Is it cold?”
“At first you don’t really notice because of everything going on, but then it hits you all at once. You know how the lake is always freezing, even at noon?” Nami watched you give her little tattoos. “It’s kind of worse because you can’t predict just how cold it is when you finally land. It’s more just a quick shock than anything, not any worse than when Sabo threw you into the lake last year.”
You gave an involuntary shiver. “I’m really not looking forward to this, Nami.” You groaned, putting down your pen and laying your head on the counter of the main desk. The girl lay a soft, newly-decorated hand on the crest of your head and gave you a meager smile.
“Can you just… say you did it? I’ll vouch, and I’m sure the rest of the guys would too.” She nodded, and your heart warmed. Your friends would always have your back.
“No. Kid said there’s gotta be a witness, him or Killer, and I don’t think Killer is gonna lie on my behalf.” The two of you sighed in unison, before the sound of the front door opening drew your attention. Sabo was pushing the old wooden door open with a foot, arms piled with boxes of stuff that was likely going to be used later on for events. Setting them down onto the floor and pushing them out of the way with his boot, Sabo looked up and saw the two of you, his eyes lighting up.
“Oh, hey! You two didn’t invite me in on the gossip?” The blonde smiled warmly, crossing his arms and raising a brow in false hurt. He tugged his recognizable hat off his head and set it on the main desk, before leaning on the counter on the other side of you.
“It’s not really gossip—“ Nami exhaled, an irritated look crossing her face again.
“I have to do the ritual this year or else Kid’s gonna waterboard my walkie.” You frowned, giving your friend a lazy wave. Your voice was flat and sounded tired, causing Sabo to narrow his eyes. Concern was rising in him, and he turned to you.
“What do you mean?” His tone had dropped all of its previous glee, and his eyes were dark. You rarely saw such a serious side of him, his demeanor went from kind and placid to dangerous in an instant. You held your hand out to Sabo, and he recognized what you wanted to do in an instant, tugging off one of the gloves that he usually wore and placing his palm in yours.
As you began to doodle on his hand much like you did Nami’s, the girl spoke up and began to explain. “Kid is holding her walkie-talkie hostage if she doesn’t jump off of heartbreak hill. We can’t vouch and say that she already jumped, because Kid or Killer has to be a witness.” Sabo seemed frustrated, but he held his hand still for you.
“What a jerk.” He muttered, resting his chin on his free hand, seeming lost in thought. “Are you gonna do it?” He repeated the same question that Nami asked earlier, looking at you with concern. Shrugging your shoulders, you nodded again, trying not to think about the mess you had gotten yourself into. It would probably be best if you just got it over with instead of making yourself crazy thinking in circles about it. You comforted yourself by telling your brain that when you jumped it would be over in an instant, then you could get your walkie back and forget about the entire thing.
“I’m kind of putting it off. We have, what, two hours until sunset?” You asked Nami as you sat up and began digging in the cardboard box behind you to find Sabo’s walkie. He gave you a thankful look before he clipped it to his belt, then held his hand up to get a closer look at the scribbles you had inked.
“An hour and thirty.” Nami nodded, checking her various weather apps installed on her phone. Her face scrunched slightly in worry for you, and she chewed anxiously on her bottom lip. You pushed yourself up out of your seat as your best friend shot you a look of apprehension, her bright brown eyes still unsure. “Are you gonna be okay?”
Sabo turned to you as well, waiting for your response. You gave another half-hearted shrug as you put your pen away, stretching your arms above your head. “Yeah. I just gotta get it over with. Will you two come with me?” Wringing your hands together you looked nervously between your two friends. Your courage was starting to build from what everyone had told you, but anxiety still roiled in the pit of your stomach. Nami moved to link her arm through yours, and Sabo placed a warm hand on your shoulder, the two of them showing their support for you.
“Of course! If they try anything else, I’ll pummel them!” Nami made a fist with her other hand, her eyes darkening significantly. Her expression was matched by a wild fire burning in Sabo’s gaze.
“Ditto.” The blonde nodded, and you laughed softly to dissuade the newfound tension. The two relaxed at the sound, sending you gentle and comforting smiles. After scooping up your box, the three of you marched out of the admissions building, making small talk and catching up as you strode down the road towards the lake.
Nami’s idle chatter made a pleasant background to your thoughts as the three of you walked, your boots crunching on the gravel path. You didn’t know why exactly Eustass was so adamant about having you jump, maybe he was going crazy? You didn’t have any dirt on him, you had hardly spoken more than a few sentences in the couple of years that you’d known him. Trying to lighten the mood, Nami had made a joke about him bullying you because he liked you, which only shot a wave of fear through you. Eustass? Liking you? You resisted a shudder.
“Heyyyy! Where are you guys goin’?” A cheerful voice called, breaking you out of your thoughts. You had about three seconds to brace yourself before strong arms wrapped around your shoulders, nearly knocking you over as Luffy jumped onto your back. You grunted as the walkies in your grasp threatened to spill out of the teetering box before you could right yourself, but ultimately couldn’t be upset at him due to the look on his face. His boyish smile was back, he was happy to see you.
“The lake, Luffy.” Sabo stepped away from you to tug Luffy off of your back by the collar of his shirt, holding him in the air for a second as you recovered.
“Ohhhh! Sounds like fun, can we come too?” You could hear the grin in his voice, turning to see Zoro, Law, Usopp, and Chopper all pacing down the path from the TSGM cabins. You perked up as you dug through the box, making sure everyone got their respective equipment, before Sabo took the box from you to carry instead.
“Yeah, you probably won’t want to miss what’s going down.” You laughed nervously, rubbing the back of your neck as Law’s brows furrowed.
“What’s going down?” Zoro piped up, his interest newly piqued. “Someone gonna fight?” He crossed his arms over his chest, tilting his head to the side as he fixed you with a smirk. He looked as though he’d just woken up from a nap, but then again, that was kind of his resting state.
“A FIGHT? I want in!” Luffy cheered, pumping his fists excitedly as his boundless energy overflowed.
“Not quite, I’m jumping this year.” In an instant, each of the newcomers’ eyes had widened, and they shouted in unison. You ran a hand over your face, your stress only amplified by the overlapping and very loud voices that surrounded you. It took Nami hitting each of them, save for Chopper, on the head to get them all to shut up. Seeing your annoyance, Sabo took the lead and re-explained everything that you had told him.
“Seriously?! That guy is a top-notch asshole.” Usopp scoffed, kicking his boot at the soft earth below. “What’s he got against you anyway?” He huffed, earning a nod of agreement from Chopper. Law wasn’t saying anything, he instead had his eyes downcast as he was deep in thought. Zoro was staring at you with a look of what could have been concern, his brows knitted and his fists clenched.
“That’s exactly what we’ve been trying to figure out.” Nami sighed, and you patted her shoulder good-naturedly.
“Whatever it is, I just have to jump, and he’ll leave me alone! No biggy.” You grinned half-heartedly, but it definitely wasn’t fooling your group of friends. Chopper hurried forward and wrapped his arms around you, cheering you on with sweet words of encouragement.
“You got this, Y/N! If I can do it, so can you!!”
You couldn’t help but to relax and give him a genuine smile, ruffling his hair gently. “Thanks, Chopper.” He wiggled with excitement, before Luffy decided to get in on the hug too, squeezing you a bit too hard for your liking.
“YEAH! It’s fun!!!” Luffy leapt back onto you, smushing you and Chopper into another hug. This time, Law was the one to pry him off, and the doctor sent you a glance that conveyed any words he wanted to say. You nodded, reassuring him, and he shoved his tattooed hands into his pockets, not fully believing you when you gestured that you’d be fine.
His concern for you continued to build, and he felt like something was certainly off. First you had to bunk with Ace, who he wouldn’t trust further than he could throw him, now Eustass, who he trusted even less than Ace, was coercing you into doing something he knew terrified you. It filled him with anger, and he kept his hands in his pockets to disguise how he had them curled tightly into fists. He’d definitely have to have a chat with the mechanic later, after he made sure you were alright after your jump.
“…We’ll see.” You lightly flicked Luffy’s straw hat, then wriggled out of his embrace, hooking your arm back through Nami’s as you continued your march down to the lakeshore. Your newly formed group followed you, chattering and filling the air with a multitude of friendly voices.
Soon you were ushered onto the lakeshore, taking deep breaths as you stared across the lake to the hill where you’d soon be jumping. You gave a look to Nami, and she showed you her app, listing an hour until sunset. She offered to pull your hair up for you, and you nodded, taking a seat on one of the chairs by the lake as she slowly swept her hands over your hair. It offered a soothing comfort, and you stayed quiet as your friends continued their conversations around you.
Ace arrived at the lakeshore a few minutes after your group, alongside Koala and Marco, who were discussing the classes they were going to hold, and Thatch and Sanji, who’d been cleaning the kitchen and going over inventory. The second Sanji saw you and Nami, he was spun into a frenzy, fawning over the two of you, until he was knocked out of it by a hefty smack on the head by Zoro. They launched into their usual bickering, turning into frustrated grumbling when Luffy told them both to knock it off.
Bepo had hurried down from the doctor’s cabin in search of Law, and was practically clinging to him for dear life as your friend tried to hide his annoyance. Ace got into a playful scuffle with his younger brother, only to drag Sabo into it when he tried to break them up. A comfortable and familiar kind of chaos surrounded you, one that filled your heart with a warm sense of calm. You had sunk back into your feelings of camp being your home the second you’d arrived, with your friends around you being such a big part of what made the camp one of your favorite places.
Just as Nami finished your hair, she gave you a soft pat on the shoulder, leaning over and wrapping her arms around your neck to give you a hug. You leaned against her arms, thanking her quietly, to which she gave you a playful wink. “You can pay me later.” She joked, and you let out a giggle.
The chaos around you quieted in an instant as heavy boots stomped up the shore, and Eustass came into view. He let out a low whistle, his non-prosthetic arm braced on his hip as he came to a stop in front of you. “Looks like you brought your entourage.” He grinned as your eyes narrowed, and a few sharp glares were fixed onto the wild redhead, save for Luffy, who was still very much trying to wrestle with Sabo. You shrunk down at his gaze, and could practically feel Nami fuming behind you.
It was dead silent, dark glares fixed on Eustass as you slowly pushed yourself up out of the chair. “Let’s get this over with.” You exhaled, clenching your fists as you faced off against the mechanic.
“You don’t have to jump—“ Nami shot forward, and if you had glanced behind you, you likely would’ve been terrified by what you saw. Law had his hat obscuring his eyes, his face shadowed except for his mouth, twisted into a scowl. Ace’s fiery glare was fixed sharply on Eustass, his jaw clenching. Zoro looked ready to get into a brawl, and even Luffy had stopped his scuffle with his brother, sensing something was up. You put on a light-hearted smile, though you didn’t really mean it.
“It’s like you said, I’ll be fine! I can’t be the only person who hasn’t done it.” You were trying your best to disguise your anxiety behind your somewhat positive thinking.
“Yeah!! You got this!! It’ll be fun!!” Luffy cheered, and Chopper quickly joined in on the cheer. Usopp gave you an enthusiastic grin, doing his best to hide his own worries for you.
“Looks like you made up your mind, sweetheart.” Eustass smirked, and crossed his arms over his broad chest. Your walkie-talkie still dangled from his belt, and he seemed even more amused every time you glanced at it. “Killer’ll row you out there, I wouldn’t wanna risk your precious tool’s safety.” He winked, and you did your best to control the annoyance he caused you. Turning towards the shore, you noticed that Killer had pulled one of the canoes off of the large racks and had it already in the water, though the blonde stood next to it.
Eustass gave you a little wave and strode off to lay back in one of the lawn chairs, bracing his arms behind his head. Your time to jump was slowly being eaten away, the sun ever betraying you by sinking lower in the sky. You began to walk towards Killer, only to be tugged back by a firm grip on your wrist. Glancing back, you saw Law, his brows knitted and his expression stern.
“You can back out of this. If you don’t want to jump, don’t. I’ll kick Eustass’s ass until he gives it back.” He muttered lowly, just for you to hear. You had no doubt the doctor meant what he said from the way his golden eyes were glowing. His firm hand relaxed a bit when you sent him a smile.
“It’ll be fine, Torao. As much as I’d love to see Eustass with a black eye, I think I’m better off jumping.” You gave him a quick hug, then started back off towards the boat. You knew if Law started throwing punches, Luffy would back him up, and there’d be a massive divide between the counselors for the rest of the year. “Lemme just get it over with so I stop worrying!” You laughed in an attempt to dissuade your anxiety.
Law watched with concerned eyes as you slunk into the boat, Killer slipping in after you and grabbing the oars. You stared at the bottom of the canoe, knowing that if you looked back at your group of friends you’d likely feel the urge to chicken out. Clenching your fists, you instead became determined to jump and prove Eustass’s idea of you being a coward wrong. Unbeknownst to you, one man in particular on the shore was watching you go with dark eyes, flaming with annoyance and anger at the mechanic. He tucked his hat down over his eyes, and paced off to another part of the shore. He wasn’t going to leave, for once he felt the need to make sure you were safe before he went anywhere.
The water of the lake was gentle on your ears, a soft swishing surrounding you as Killer rowed the two of you over to the little island in the middle of the lake, and subsequently, heartbreak hill. It was calm, sort of pretty, the way the setting sun cast deep pinks and oranges over the water. If nothing else, you’d at least have a stunning view before you jumped.
“It’s not all that bad.” Killer’s low voice startled you out of your thoughts, his expression hidden behind his mask as his muscles tensed when he pulled and pushed the oars. “It’s really over in a second.” The man’s kind nature was showing through, and he gave you a sympathetic tilt of his head. His blonde locks looked like pure gold in the melting sunlight, shining like treasure.
You let out a sigh. “That’s what Nami said.” Your shoulders slumped and you huddled into yourself, staring out at the slowly approaching hill. “I know it’s a stupid thing to be afraid of, but I’m not a junkie for terror like the guys are. It’s like they traded their common sense for adrenaline highs.” You muttered, rolling your eyes. A muffled but deep and warm chuckle came from Killer.
“Can you blame them? Seems like they’re always having fun.” The blonde nodded, his hair disturbed slightly by a thin breeze that blew over the surface of the lake. He continued to row, pulling the small boat along through the water. “Not a bad way to live, chasing excitement. ‘S how Kid is, believe it or not. It’s never boring.”
You frowned, crossing your arms over your chest. “It’s hard to believe Kid is anything but an asshole. I mean I didn’t even do anything to him!” You scoffed, rolling your eyes. Hell, the first year he’d started working at the camp with you, he’d chosen you as the object of his twisted affections and ceaselessly tormented you with pranks. He’d stuck bugs under your pillow, filled your shoes with mud, and one time he even locked you in the art hut for a few hours until Usopp came to save you.
“He can be a little brash,” You snorted at Killer’s words, “But he is a good guy underneath.” The blonde nodded, confident in his best friend’s true nature.
You still didn’t believe that Kid could be anything other than a jerk. “I’ll believe it when I see it.”
The two of you went the rest of the way in silence, your eyes glued to the water that sloshed around the boat. The reflection of the sky was enough to distract your mind until Killer brought the canoe to a halt on the shore of the island in the middle of the lake. Once he hopped out, he used his strength to drag the boat onto the sand, seemingly unbothered by the fact that you were still seated neatly inside. Once he was content that the canoe wouldn’t slip back into the water, he held out a hand for you and helped you up, waiting until you found your footing on the sand before letting go.
You’d been on the little island before for a couple picnics and after-summer parties that the counselors threw, but now it seemed different. The trees seemed to loom over your head, the birds seemed quieter than what you remembered. You were coming closer and closer to jumping, and it made your head feel foggy.
“Been on the cliff before?” Killer asked as he led the way up the terrain, holding leaves and twigs out of the way for you as he went. You were definitely thankful, maybe some of the other men you knew could stand to learn a thing or two from the hulking blonde.
“Yeah, just not by the edge.” You ducked under a low-hanging branch that Killer held up for you. “Didn’t want to slip or anything.”
“Makes sense. The view is worth the danger, though.” Killer held out a hand to help you up a steep outcrop of stone. When you nearly lost your footing on loose gravel, he caught you and quickly hefted you up ahead of him so that you wouldn’t go tumbling down the path.
“If you say so.” You shrugged, though a part of you couldn’t wait to see it. You were an avid collector of beautiful memories, and you had no doubt that heartbreak hill would be absolutely stunning. The trees and bushes around you cast lengthening shadows across you and your companion, and by the time you reached the cliff the sun was a sliver of its former self. The wind whistled past your ears, surrounding you now that you were out of the cover of the tall flora, and you crouched slightly to lower your center of gravity. You wouldn’t go launching off the cliff until you decided to, dammit.
Killer was right about the view, it was breathtaking. The lake reflected the darkening sky above, and it seemed as though the cosmos was rising up from the water’s depths. Small stars sparkled above and below, their image only distorted by the canoes your friends had brought out onto the lake to cheer you on in. Luffy’s cheers reached your ears, and you spotted him rocking a canoe he shared with Zoro, the taller man looking quite annoyed by Luffy’s actions. In another was Nami, Sanji, and Chopper, and another held Sabo, Law, and Ace. Those not in a canoe stayed on shore, waving their arms and calling out to you. Kid stood safely on the docks, his arms crossed, and you could imagine him grinning slyly.
“You got this, Y/N!”
“Yeah, you can do it!”
“Don’t look down!”
Numerous cheers and taunts rang out from your friends, and you took a deep breath. Your boots reached the edge of the stone, and you glanced down, much to your immediate regret. Your stomach flipped and rolled as you stared down at the large rocks at the base of the cliff. What if you hit them? Would you die from a fall from this height? Anxiety was rife within you, and you stumbled back from the edge. Killer was quickly there to make sure you didn’t fall, stabilizing you with a light touch on your back.
“You’re good, take a deep breath.” He spoke softly, waiting until you were collected. “It’ll be over in a second. Don’t think, just jump.” You couldn’t see it because of his striped mask, but you could hear his smile in his voice.
Nodding, you curled your hands into fists, and pushed yourself forward again, standing on the edge of the cliff. You took in the view again, doing your best to bring your courage to the forefront of your mind. Inhaling and exhaling, you took a few steps back. All at once, you darted to the edge and leapt into the air before your nerves could get the better of you. At the last second, your foot caught on a ledge in the rock, and you stumbled over the edge.
A screech left your lips as you went, free-falling through the air as wind whipped around you. You squeezed your eyes tightly shut, your heart racing and feeling as though your stomach was going to leap out of your throat. The fall lasted minutes, hours, it felt like it took forever for you to hit the water, even though it was mere seconds. When you did hit the icy surface, your lungs forgot how to function, and all the air rushed out of you at once as your body was shot under the water. Fighting the urge to gasp, you winced at the strain in your chest, struggling to claw your way back to the surface, desperate for relief.
You broke out a cough, water rushing into your mouth as your legs kicked fruitlessly, your hair obscuring your vision as it came out of your ponytail and it made you feel as though you were caught in a net. You didn’t know which way was up, and you began to panic. You heard nothing but the eerie sounds of underwater silence. It was freezing cold, moreso than you had expected, and it had your limbs locking up as they were unused to the frigid temperature. You weren’t sure just how long you’d been fighting to get to the surface, but you felt the strain on your entire body, your muscles weak from your struggle.
Everything around you was dark, and your brain was struggling to think. You knew you needed air, your lungs were screaming at you, but you couldn’t figure out how to get to it. Despite your preparations, your body wasn’t exactly ready for the temperature shock, and it took your system a minute to collect itself. However, during that moment, your instincts had told you to breathe, to gasp, as oxygen rushed out of you in surprise. Now you were stuck beneath the surface, clawing desperately at the water that surrounded you.
Suddenly, a pair of arms wrapped around your torso, and you clung to the person, grabbing onto whatever you could. They pulled you up quickly, strong legs kicking at the water and drawing you from the depths. The second your head breached the surface you were hacking and spitting up water, gasping for air and scrambling for a safer hold on your savior.
“...I didn't think she’d nearly drown!”
“...Your fucking fault, Eustass. Stay the fuck away from her.”
Wild voices and shouts echoed from around you, overstimulating your worn out brain. Water and desperate tears mingled and ran down your cheeks, another broken cough leaving your lips. You strained to keep yourself afloat, but whoever had a hold on you was doing a well enough job keeping the both of you above the water.
“Hang on, stop flailing around. I gotcha.” A low voice rumbled, and you didn’t have the mind to place it. “Hold up your arms.” You did as you were gently commanded, releasing the neck of your savior for a split second. As you did so, someone grabbed a hold of your wrists and drew you up into a canoe, stabilizing you in the vessel.
“Are you okay? Is she okay?”
“Oh my god is she going to drown?!”
“She’s out of the water and breathing, Usopp, she’s not gonna drown.”
“You’re good, you’re out, you did it.”
You threw up water into the floor of the canoe, and slumped against one of the wooden seats. You were the definition of exhausted, leaning against someone’s legs.
“You good, Zoro?” Someone else shouted from another boat nearby.
“Yeah, don’t worry about me, I can swim back. Get her to shore.” Zoro must have been the one to save you. It made sense, he was one of the camp lifeguards. The sounds of him swimming echoed in your ears. Someone in the canoe hefted you up, pulling you into their arms.
“Alright, she’s in shock, we need to get her warm.” You recognized this voice as Law. You could hear oars hurriedly scraping through the water, though you were a bit too out of it to look around and see who was rowing. The familiar bump of the canoe hitting the sand of the shore rocked your body and you were hefted up again, and once you were on solid ground your stomach emptied all the water you had swallowed. Someone soothingly rubbed your back, mumbling little words to you that you couldn’t really comprehend. Your nose and throat burned, and tears pricked at your eyes from the discomfort and from the embarrassment that was beginning to set in.
“Y/N, look at me.” You heard Law snap his fingers, and saw him kneel down in front of you. You stared at him, your face burning. “Good, you’re conscious.” His gaze flickered across your face. “Think you got everything up?” He asked in a lower voice. You were trained in water rescues for campers, but you’d never thought about having to save yourself. How did you lose your cool so easily?
You nodded slowly, and a bit of the worry left Law’s face for a moment. It returned, however, when you gave a weak shiver, and he pulled you into an embrace.
“Does Franky keep any blankets in the shed?” Marco jogged over to the two of you, asking the general crowd. He kneeled down alongside Law, adding his expertise to his fellow doctor.
“Yeah! There’s some quilts for picnics in there.” Chopper piped up, scrambling over to the little shed at the end of the dock. As he did so, Law ran his hands up and down your arms, trying to warm you up. Marco rubbed your back, mumbling something about encouraging blood flow.
“Is she gonna be okay?” You heard Ace speak up from near you, sounding the most serious you had ever heard him in all your years of knowing him.
“I’ll be fine.” You weakly answered, your teeth chattering as a breeze hit you full force, freezing your sopping body to the bone. Ace entered your field of vision, looking extremely worried for your safety. You almost felt a warmth settle inside your bones at the expression, if it wasn’t for your heart still threatening to pound out of your chest. It didn’t look as though he really believed you, especially when you coughed again and it wracked your entire body. “God, this is embarrassing.” You muttered under your breath.
“Deep breath, hyperventilating is not going to help you right now.” Law’s voice acted like an anchor, stabilizing you and giving you something to focus on. Sand and gravel crunched behind you, and soon another figure was leaning over you. “Back up, Ace. Give her space.” Law’s voice undertook a sharper, more defensive tone, and you didn’t need to see his face to know that he was glaring.
You closed your eyes, trying to focus on catching your breath and slowing your heart rate. The world around you refused to stop spinning, and trying to focus your gaze on a single point was just adding to your nausea. Every noise was magnified, and the building crowd around you was doing the opposite of calming you down. Chopper arrived quickly with a large cotton blanket, but the feeling of it scratched your skin and everything began to overwhelm you. It was heavy atop your drenched clothes, and you felt as though you were being slowly crushed.
“Are you sure you’re okay?”
“That was awesome! I wanna jump now!”
“Luffy, get back here!”
“Take deep breaths, you’re doing fine.”
“Can I get you anything? Water? Er— maybe not—“
“Is my darling alright? Are you hurt at all, beloved?”
“Does she need surgery? Do we need to go to the ER?!”
“She doesn’t need surgery, Usopp, she needs food!”
As much as you loved them, your friends were causing a pressure to build up inside of you. Their worry was almost palpable in the cooling night air. Your head pounded with a fury, and your brow knit in distress. “Would all of you shut up?! I don’t need surgery, I don’t need food, I need to be left alone!” Attempting to stand, Law caught you quickly when you almost stumbled over. The growing noise died down immediately, and you immediately regretted your outburst. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it like—“ You hurriedly moved to apologize, your heartbeat racing, but Law cut you off.
“No, you’re right. Nothing good’ll come from overstimulation. Bepo, c’mon, we’re going to the doctor’s cabin.” Law slung your arm over his shoulders and kept an arm around your waist to support you. “You’ll be fine, just need a little bit of rest.” He spoke affirmatively, and Bepo hurried after you two, a worried expression on his face. The sudden eerie silence was broken up only by the sounds of crickets and owls, night having fallen during the chaos. Embarrassment burned in your cheeks and your stomach, and you hunched into the blanket that was wrapped over your shoulders. “Feel free to disperse. She’ll be taken care of.” Law stated simply as he glanced over his shoulder before helping you make the trek up the hill.
Bepo’s nervous energy was rubbing off on you as he paced beside you, but you did your best to ignore it. Your throat still burned from coughing up lake water, but your head was slowly beginning to clear thanks to the cool, clear mountain air that filled your lungs. Law made sure that your shaky steps were stable, and you were thankful for once that your best friend wasn’t much of a conversationalist.
The silent walk took a good fifteen minutes at your ambling pace, and for the last stretch, Law just picked you up and carried you on his back. You were definitely thankful, because your legs felt like they were made of putty. Bepo hurried ahead of you two to open the screen door, and your friend set you down gently on the spare bed. You let out a sigh of relief, your eyes heavy from exhaustion. “Never doing that again.” You murmured, letting your head fall against the pillow.
Law gently righted you back to a seated position, getting a stethoscope from one of the drawers. “Don’t lay down yet. I need to make sure there isn’t any fluid in your lungs.” You let out a groan, and he waved you off. “Bepo, see if there’s any gatorade or juice in the cooler.” The white-haired boy rushed over to the small refrigerators set on one side of the room, one designated to hold the camper’s medicines that needed to be cooled, like insulin, and the other for personal use for the counselors. Bepo set about digging through the personal one, humming to calm his nerves as he did so.
While he searched, Law stepped around to the other side of the bed to stand behind you. He lifted the back of your shirt, something that would have earned a slap if it was anyone else, his hands cold against your skin. “Cold!” You yelped, and though the ravenette was silent, you knew he was probably rolling his eyes. He settled the ear pieces of the stethoscope into his ears, then held the chest piece of the instrument up to your back. The metal was even colder than Law’s hands, and you flinched away at first.
“Deep breath in.” He listened intently as you did as he instructed, “Now out.” You followed what he said, and soon he stepped around to your front after putting the back of your shirt down. “Pulse next.” You tugged down the soggy collar of your shirt, and Law set the stethoscope piece over your heart. He repeated his process of waiting, before he pulled away and set the instrument around his neck. At that exact moment, Bepo came bounding back with a bottle of blue gatorade and some crackers he’d found.
Law opened them for you, making sure you drank at least half of the gatorade before he allowed you to lay back down. A knock at the cabin door drew the attention of all three of you, and Bepo ran to get it while Law crossed his arms over his chest.
“I figured you’d need a change of clothes.” Nami’s face peeked around the corner, and she was quickly waved in. You let out a happy sigh, eager to get out of your damp clothes, and ambled towards the door. The ginger gave you a quick hug, glancing hesitantly at Law as she did so. “I’m glad you’re okay. You really scared us all pretty bad.”
“I scared myself pretty bad.” You tried to joke, taking what Nami offered, and stepping behind the thin curtain that separated the spare bed from the rest of the cabin to change. Folding your wet clothes as best you could, you felt yourself relax as the dry fabrics offered you comfort and warmth. It was a spare set of loose jeans, a t-shirt, and a large sweatshirt that was a few sizes too big for you. It wasn’t yours, you weren’t really sure who it belonged to. Nonetheless, you slipped it on, tucking your hands into the sleeves.
Both of the boys gave you plenty of privacy as you changed, Law deep in thought as he went about sterilizing the stethoscope. When you had tumbled off the cliff, his heart had dropped in his chest. His grip on the canoe oars had turned his knuckles white, his jaw clenched as he felt pure anxiety ricochet through him, one of the first times since he was a kid. He never lost his cool, but with you, he almost dove straight in after you, worried like a mother hen. When you hit the water, his body still didn’t relax, waiting for your head to bob above the surface. Every second you were submerged felt like an eternity, and after you were under for about a minute, he pushed up his sleeves and leaned for the edge of the boat. He almost jumped in after you, despite his difficulty swimming, though Zoro got to you first.
You were submerged for two minutes before you had been hauled into his canoe, and for those two minutes, Law thought he was going to lose you. Your leap off the cliff didn’t have the momentum he knew you had meant it to, your little stumble causing you to forget to stay calm. Thankfully you had remembered to maneuver around in the air to hit the lake feet-first, but you had forgotten to suck in a breath just before impact. Law had been truly and utterly terrified.
After pulling you back to shore, your shock had worn off decently quick. He knew embarrassment probably still stung at your mind, but he would rather you be embarrassed than dead. Seeing you absent-minded, foggy-eyed, and panting for air, he almost felt all reason leave him. Thankfully you came to, and you seemed to be coping fine. He’d have to have a long talk with Eustass in the morning.
Nami didn’t stay long after dropping off the change of clothes, something you were thankful for. You didn’t really feel like talking to anyone for the time being. Bepo ran to the mess hall to grab something for all three of you, but you didn’t really feel like eating either. You wanted to go back to your cabin and knock out, and wake up late. Law took you back to the Newgate cabins, and made sure you were settled into your bunk, leaving you with an extra bottle of gatorade. He told you to drain both of them to replenish your fluids before bidding you goodnight, and telling you to call him if you needed anything.
Now you sat on your bunny-printed sheets, wrapped in one of your thick blankets, and one that Nami had let you borrow. She must have come in and made your bed for you, knowing that you’d be exhausted after your check-up with Law. You were still in your head about the night’s events, replaying it over and over and thinking about just how stupid you probably looked. You were a fine swimmer, how did you almost drown?
The door to the counselor’s section of the cabin swung open, and your tired eyes fell onto Ace, pushing the door with his foot as he held two plates in his hands and a bag of chips in his mouth. His eyes widened when he saw you, and he set everything down on his bunk. “Hey! I thought you’d be crashing with doctor boy. Feeling okay?” He crouched down so that he was eye level, his gaze scanning your face.
“…I’m better now, yeah.” You brought your knees up to your chest, resting your head on your shoulder. As tired as you were, after walking from the doctor’s cabin to the Newgate cabins, you had somehow gotten a third wind. Your body was aching and eager for sleep, but your eyes refused to close. “Did Sanji make dinner?” You asked, peering over Ace’s shoulder at the plates on his bed.
He perked up, snagging one of the plates. “Yeah. It’s barbecue, want some?” He offered it to you, and you hesitantly accepted. You knew you needed to eat, but you didn’t really feel all too hungry. “It’s pretty good. Then again, everything that blonde chainsmoker makes is.” Ace shrugged, grabbing the other and sitting down next to you on your bunk. Before he lifted his fork to his mouth, he gave you another look. “Are you sure you’re okay?” His cheekiness all but vanished for a moment.
You let out a sigh, leaning back against the wall behind the bunk. “Physically yes. I’m still a little shaken, but I’ll get over it.” You stared at your food for a few long moments, before taking a bite and realizing just how hungry you were. Within seconds you were scarfing down everything on the plate, Ace watching on with subtle amusement. You missed the glint of worry in his eyes.
“If you say so. I recommend maybe swearing off cliffs for a while.” He tried to joke, though it only earned him a glare. He laughed off the tension, digging into his own dinner.
You suddenly realized that Ace had brought two plates into the cabin with him, had he planned to eat both? “Did Law ask you to get me dinner? You didn’t know that I’d be back yet, did you?” You peered at him curiously, using a napkin to wipe your face. Ace seemed to pause for a second, before he shot you a blinding grin.
“Growing boys gotta eat.” He shoveled more barbecue into his face and you rolled your eyes. He wasn’t being thoughtful, he was being a pig. You let out a sigh, setting your empty plate on the floor. You were too tired to retort to his cheekiness. Even though the temperature in the cabin was warm, you fought a shiver, burying further into the blankets that you had wrapped tightly around yourself. It was as if the chill of the lake had seeped into your very bones.
A yawn left your mouth, and you propped your pillow up against the corner of your bed, leaning against it. Sleep still refused to claim you, despite your efforts. Your attention was drawn back to Ace when the bed dipped as he stood up, crossing the room to the doorway where he had left his backpack when he entered. Digging through the green and black bag, he exclaimed when he found what he was looking for. His long legs brought him back to you in minimal steps, and your eyes widened when you saw what sat snugly in his palm.
“I got it from Kid once you were on shore.” He nodded, his eyes shaded by his hat. “He won’t bother you again, for a while at least.” His voice was grim, something entirely unfamiliar, but you were too excited by what he held to notice that something was off.
“My walkie!” Launching forward, you grabbed it and held it to your chest, having forgotten the reason of your suffering. You let out a sigh of relief, setting it neatly on the small dresser next to the bunk beds. “Thank god.” You murmured, laying down on your bed. Ace shot you a smile, picking up your empty plate and stacking it with his. He’d take them back to the dining hall in the morning, but for now, he was happy to see some excitement return to your face.
Turning around and lifting his hat to rest it on a hook by the door, he felt a bubbly sensation rise in his chest. “Yeah, I made sure it was in good shape. There’s not a single scratch on it, and if there was, I would’a pummeled Eustass into the dirt.” When you didn’t respond, he slowly turned. “No need to thank me, really—“ He cut himself off when he saw that you had finally fallen asleep, bundled in your blankets so tightly that you looked like you were drowning in a mass of fluff.
It was like a weight had been lifted from your shoulders and you had finally relaxed enough to let sleep claim you. A soft smile rested on Ace’s lips, and he let out a breath, what was left of his worry leaving him as he observed you in such a peaceful state. Leaning down to you, he made sure you were tucked in well, before sitting back on his own bunk. His own stress was soothed at the gentle sight and sound of your chest rising and falling, the silent cabin disturbed only by your quiet breaths. Ace’s heart thrummed in his chest, and he carded his fingers through his shaggy black hair.
Tossing himself down, he stared up at the bottom of the bunk above him, folding his arms under his head. His heart had been through a lot that evening, it was almost therapeutic for him to see that you were sleeping soundly. He’d hated the idea of you jumping in the first place, he could see just how much it scared you in your jerky movements and shifting eyes whenever you discussed it. He wasn’t friends with Eustass by a long shot, but his little prank that he’d pulled on you made Ace decide that he didn’t like the mechanic at all. Shifty bastard.
He found his gaze drifting back to you, his breaths unconsciously matching the pattern of yours. He was happy that you were safe, more than anything. Sure, something in him had been a little annoyed that Law had pulled you into his arms instead, but you were safe in the end, and that was what mattered. Ace wasn’t expecting you to come back to the Newgate cabins at all that evening, but he was glad you did. Something about you managed to lift his mood.
“Guess it was a good thing I brought you a plate after all, yeah, Spitfire?” He mumbled under his breath in an attempt not to rouse you. “Crazy good intuition you got there, Ace.” He praised himself with a grin, the glowing feeling of pride in his chest that you had come back to sleep in the cabin with him instead of staying in the doctor’s cabin with Law. Ace drifted off to sleep with a grin on his face and a gentle murmur of “You don’t look too bad in my sweatshirt either”.

some of these are SUPER old, gomen, so it'll be all under the cut for yall sanity. i really need to start answering more timely rip
tw: mild implications of noncon (cerelos), psychological mindfucks (cerelos), mentions of pregnancy (dol)
Oh, I can wait for your content as long as it takes! Creating is not an easy task, so take your time, dear. Ofc, posting everyday is cool, blah-blah, but your health and mental state is much more important. Don't worry about this <3
And talking about DoL, did you get to Ivory Wraith already? Who is your faves generally?
—anonymous
did i not answer this before??? tumblr, please. anyway, ye i did! plotwise, very very fascinating. gameplay wise, annoying as heck when i was in middle of things i was working towards to lol i do wish ivory wraith's plot wouldn't be centered around weird anal/ear/whatever pregnancy tho, thats…kinda not my thing kdshkds--and thats coming from someone who writes preg on the regular. pls dev.
Ahhhh don't feel bad! Ur content is top-tier and u r a lovely perfect bun! Even quick look on your post is enough to feel that you're always working hard to give your best – it's we who should be thankful for all food u r giving </3
A lot lot lot of love to ya, dear 🥰
@iwanthistongue
dawww thank you dear <3333 i just wish i have it in me to be the super productive like some of the epic writers on this platform, but i dont dsklhdsl so all i can do is to do my best and provide every so often <3 also sorry that i cant seem to ping you???
Omg you're into dol? Who's your favorite character so far?
—anonymous
eden, tbh! i ran into a scenario where they kidnapped me angry after being gone for too long. oof, what happened after that…wheeoooow but most of the characters are pretty dang good too!! i'd like to focus more love on kylar but theyre quite...annoying gameplay wise so…augh lol
i crave more beastfolk content 🤤
maybe something with a male reader dealing with a few yandere beastfolk who are trying to one-up each other and compete for him? male!yandere x male!reader content is a bit hard to find, especially if it's transmale!reader
—anonymous
just send in an ask and i'll see what i can do! i found writing male readers (be it cis or not!) a little tricky sometimes, because i always feared crossing that…bad line, yanno? in spite of the contents i write.
that said, i'm all for writing more gays, just need a little nudge and sparks to write one~
have you heard of scp 401?
—anonymous
…huh, this is a pron in the making. but no! this is the first ive heard of it. im aware of scp and knew some of its characters but not this one!!
Happy bday! I hope you got yourself a nice treat! —anonymous
Happy birthday, dear! 🥳—anonymous
Happy (i guess)late birthday, luv!!! Thank you for writing at this special day, hope your day was amazing <3 —anonymous
ohhhh this is months late;;; im so sorry but thank you all so much for your kind bday wishes!! ily all a bunch!!!
OMG YESSSS LORE!!! MORE MORE MORE <333
Thank you for the food, I can't stop re-reading 😭😭😭
—anonymous
ye~i mainly wanted to do more centaur pron tbh LOL glad you liked my nasty bois!
For a few days I had a thought- I hope it's ok to share ahaha-
Okay, so – after getting in his grasp his future bride were acting so, so good. Her dedication is admirable, she's a quick learner and charismatic enough to get the liking of the teachers and maids. Her gentle and caring nature shows while she's communicating with others – no surprise everyone likes her. She's the same she was the day he met her... But the thing is, after all of this, she's absolutely terrified of Cerelos. She's not crying and wailing, but she's getting so quiet, so uncomfortable in his company, she always hiding her eyes and never tries to speak first – and she trembles so, so bad every time they're touching! Last time she even fainted from all nerves. How he may act and how mad he would be that servants getting more smiles and laughs than him?
—anonymous
hmmm depends on why the darling is frightened tbh are they always afraid or is this started after cerelos took them the first time? i do imagine he'd be pretty upset and even offended, though he won't outwardly show his feelings. he'd probably start ordering the servants to disappear whenever the darling is in sight, be invisible, to further isolate them, to force them either to face their loneliness and/or accept cerelos as their emperor and husband. since humans are in nature social, they'd naturally long for some form of company and possibly some skin to skin contact.
in short, since the coecrced sex doesn't seem to do enough, cerelos would've likely infict some psychological damages on his darling to force them to accept him. he wouldn't be…physically abusive, no, but he will emotionally and mentally cripple his darling without relying on cruel words and uses some amount of gaslighting.
regardless, you will only have him and you will love him. he is, after all, your emperor and husband. why wouldn't you embrace him and his power?
Hi! I hope this is okay to ask: I saw one of your slightly older asks, and you mentioned you have a draft with a slime monster. I'm very curious about that one (but I also love your writing in general!), so I just wanted to ask you if you plan on finishing it
—anonymous
.....sdhdflsk i thought i posted it, gosh dang it. well, i'll look into this later. if nothing else, it would be nice to go back and post my shitty 5 minutes thoughts again.
Hello how are you ? Hope you are doing well ❣️ I wanted to ask if you will continue or write anything similar like the rabbit hybrid fic ..it's my fav and i also like the ghost husband fic ..sorry if i made u uncomfortable👉👈...Have a nice day💖
—anonymous
i'm doing better!! <3 ty for checking in, luvvv
and after some waffling around, i considered since human/beastfolk hybrids are so rare and are considered the 'monsters' of their world (ig basically, considered as 'mythical', like yeti's and such, but actually does exist, kind of monsters), i figured it couldn't hurt to make these sad hybrids canon to my universe soooooooo ye i wouldn't mind doing more of them!! also i've done a crocodile hybrid one, if you've missed that one.
no, no, you're good! <3 loves getting asks like this~
the momster is back!!! we missed you, hope you’re having a good day <333 (p.s i am a monster fucker through and through, i will literally read and love anything you write mwah)
@letskidaddle
daww youre so sweet!!! <3 ty!! monster fuckers united!!!! and yes you have a lovely day as well!!
whewwww, thats some asks to get through hhhh but man tumblr is so ugly. anyone know the fix to get it back to its simple self??
anyway, im slowly getting into the swing of things. got couple wips i can work on, maybe, and clear the inboxs for a fresh start (sorry to anyone who were waiting on certain things!! you can send them again tho!! a clean slate is needed imo). anyway, hope yall are doing wonderfully <3

OKAY SO!! DEAD PLATE IS REALLY GOOD AND IM HERE TO RAMBLE ABOUT IT. SPOILERS OBVIOUSLY LMAO
(all excitement aside, this game is best experienced blind imo! its free on itch, and there's no jumpscares [in case thats an issue for u like it is for me lolz]. there is tons of gore (mostly blood with very few organs), so please heed the warnings on the game page if that bothers u!)
okay ive talked about this before, but the art style is just soso gorgeous. the characters are so distinct and expressive, and even the npcs are beautifully designed. the art is, dare i say, tasty ;3
rody is literally the definition of a golden retriever boy (even to a fault!) and i adore his character so much. he's just a silly little guy trying to do his best but also he should really take some time to care for himself like manon suggested :(
vincent is also fantastic, i love that he warms up to rody if you continue talking to him, it's really sweet if you uh. ignore the horrors...
no jumpscares but GOD this game is fantastic at building a sense of dread. when the music cut out during the house party bit, i genuinely got nervous. manon's ghost (i assume) being in vince's window was also terrifying and honestly scared me so bad i hesitated to put my headphones back on lmao. i do love the lack of jumpscares, but that might just be my cowardice talking ahaha
u can feed the rat cheese but then vince feeds u the rat :(
i got the normal ending on my first go (as i assume most people do), and when manon didn't pick up when rody called her i knew immediately that she was the steak that you get at the end of that sequence. it felt really rewarding to find out that was true in the "best served hot" ending!!
"a dead plate" HAHAHAHAHAHA JUST LIKE THE NAME OF THE GAME (seconds later: oh god this is the manon steak)
the description of the plate changing to "the love of my life" actually hurt a little, ouch
when i had to go back to the freezer to get the ending where rody dies, i audibly went "haiii vincenttt" when he showed up lmao
when i first saw vincent bite rody, i thought he bit his neck and went "oh haha hot"
a few lines of dialogue later, i stood corrected lmaoo
finding out that vince doesnt actually like serve human meat at the restaurant was pretty interesting to hear! i like that take on the trope, because normally its more akin to games like bonnie's bakery where the food youre serving to customers IS customers lmao
learning how rody felt about manon made me super sad, esp after the post credit scene where she breaks up with him. again, i agree with her. bro needs some serious self care and needs to learn that its ok to care for himself too :(
uhhhhh vincent casual outfit hot. i mean what who said that
the normal food rewards you get for completing each day look absolutely incredible, esp the desserts
overall, just an amazing experience that i'm so happy to have done blind. not knowing what was next made it a lot more fun for me and i might give it a go again in the future! i have a few more horror rpg style games saved on my itchio that ive been meaning to try out :3

For the Saw ask game - 3, 10, 16 and 17 (I didn't know there were Saw games!)
Plus secret 20th option, any ships not involving Strahm or Hoffman (as much as I too enjoy them and that ship ;)?
yall r spoiling me this time
3) Least favorite character?
oh that is also so hard because there are a number of shitty little 1-scene fellas that get obliterated who are easy targets like Seth Baxter.
ill try to stick w main "cast" (any recurring characters & significant movie protagonists)
ehhhh idk.. im stealing this answer from someone else, but Jeff? i dont hate him but im not like. clamoring to watch his scenes or anything. whenever i see a meme that includes Jeff im like "fuck, who? oh, right!"
10) answered!
16) A trap that terrifies you
PLENTY, for sure!
oh my god i can barely watch let alone fathom poor Valentina's trap where she had like 2 seconds to saw through her thigh. and Matteo digging around in his own brain. good lord. i cant believe he even got as far as he did. Both of them! John should have awarded a gold star for trying.
17) Have you played either of the Saw video games?
no but I have watched a few of my streamers play them and it was very funny watching them pull their hair out trying. Im not exactly jealous though- they all shared the experience of eventually getting so frustrated that they just give up or stop having fun entirely. the games look really.. frustrating.....
which is too bad cuz i think they kind of tried to make something fun for the fans, but it didnt translate well to game
(also fun fact, i watched someone play the games before i watched the movies, and it gave me the weirdest incorrect assumption for what the movies would be like entirely. The vibes are so wrong ahaha)
but fuck me if its not still incredibly entertaining to put on Jerma's videos every once in a while and watch him slowly get angrier and angrier
youtube
Secret 20th option) any ships not involving Strahm or Hoffman?
I also like Chainshipping & Shotgunshipping! ^^ theyre not my main squeeze but i enjoy them quite a bit
Pintshipping and Radiationshipping are also very good very cute

tw for abuse, i assume? i didnt do some very nice things in source
dear shin tsukimi,
i was going to write this earlier in the day but i only had the time now ahaha, you know how busy i can get. im here to say just a few things. firstly, i was and am madly, madly in love with you. one of the things thst cost me my seat as a participant, that stole me away from you. i adored you, i loved seeing how terrified yet captivated you were of me, it made my heart found like never before. i dont regret you being terrified of me, in fact, i still enjoyed it. im not sorry, and while i never physically harmed you, i did occasionally do the odd experiment(of course erasing your mind of the incident after). i watched you constantly in the cameras when waiting for you to pass through sue and safalin's floors, desperate for you to live so i could see you again. it was a pity kanna died. but i granted you your wish, did i not? you never did grant mine, selfish, sweet shin. i love you, i miss you. maybe one day i can learn to be better and to think like a human(ahaha, isn't that hilarious, coming from a doll).
to all other yttd sourcemates, ahaha i hold no regrets whatsoever to anything that happened in the death game! hate me if you want, i dont believe im capable of feeling sympathy towards it though!! Ahahaha!
with love from,
(the original) sou hiyori, also known as midori
(im a fictive/introject btw, from your turn to die, kimi ga shine)

Idk if you’re familiar with the HC that ghouls build nests, but imagine Swiss making a cozy little nest in the papal suite, or where she’s staying, for Sister while she’s pregnant because his little ghoul brain says “Pregnant mate, must PROTECT, and FEED, and KEEP WARM!” And he barely lets her out of the nest unless she needs to pee, and he like even brings her meals and snacks and stuff 🥺. Also him bringing little toys and baby clothes into the nest once the baby(s) born! He growls and hisses when anyone gets near the nest; he accepts Copia and Terzo being there (and Veritas if we’re going Copia x Terzo x Veritas x Swiss x Sis. Side note, we need to find a shorter ship name for that ASAP! I propose CTVSS, not only because it looks like you’re talking about CTVs and would confuse the outsiders, but is all of their initials lol. Feel free to suggest better ideas!), but only if they let him stay in the room to “supervise” (really he just doesn’t want to be left out of the action if it gets steamy 😏. I think he’s the jealous type!).
okayokayokay, i LOVE this headcannon so I'm adding on, under a read more because I took this and RAN with it. im so sorry for going off ahahaha
Like even if Sister was pregnant with Copia/Terzo's babies and not Swiss' kits, I feel like Swiss would be like OMG MY BONDED MASTER IS WITH CHILD SHE MUST DO NOTHING BUT NEST and she would be like yo Swiss chill the fuck out. She would appreciate it towards the end if she was pregnant with multiples, speaking from experience ahaha, mainly because if she drops something it is dead to her. She'd summon Swiss just to pick up a scroll she dropped in the library or a fork in the dining room. This would 100% extend to when Swiss feels her desire for any craving (my bff cried over a panera sandwich when she was pregnant; i ugly sobbed because i wanted my mom's homemade cooking but it was 2020 and COVID was at its height and we didn't know how it effected pregnant women yet so we had to stay away from each other to be safe) he would just appear with whatever in hand and poof off. Terzo would be like yo stop stealing my bonus points!!
Once the baby is born? Oh my lord the three men in her life would be like rabid with each other no matter who's baby it was. Like throwing elbows to hold this baby because it is the extension of the person they care for/love the most in the whole world. Sister would 100% find Terzo rocking and singing at their baby, Copia would always have the baby with him reading when they couldn't sleep, and Swiss would curl up with the baby in the crib knowing their purring soothed them to sleep.
Now do I think Swiss would be an absolute menace if it was his kits? The Clergy would contemplate just moving Swiss and Sister into their own home because if any other male (besides Copia, Terzo, and/or Veritas if were going that route) in the building looked at her for too long he would absolutely tear his mask off and go full feral ghoul. If we use the current era ghouls in this line of thought, Dew does this to rile him up till Aether swears he's going to kick his ass with his guitar. Swiss and Sister would be locked in their rooms till the bab(ies) are like 3 months and Swiss natural protective instinct settles back down and then they could introduce the babies properly to everyone.
Now if we're going with the CTVSS angle, this is how my brain pictures it. Copia, Terzo and Swiss are excited; Veritas is mildly terrified of children and therefor faints when she tells them that she's pregnant. Veritas is also very anxious through the whole pregnancy, to the point of being distant. Sister would have to coax him out of his mind a bit before he'd warm up to the idea of a child that he would call his own. Even after the baby is born and confirmed to be his and his alone, Veritas is skittish with them. They are so small and delicate, how could he care for them without breaking them? Without hurting them like those in his past? He is helpful in other ways that are easier for him; washing bottles, gathering all the extra baby laundry, making sure Mom and the other dads are fed and sleeping when they can. But actual day to day baby care? Not unless he is the only one and even then sometimes he calls for Swiss who comes only because he can sense the terror rolling off Veritas despite not being his bonded ghoul.
It isn't till the first night where Terzo, Copia and Swiss are on the road (no time off for the Ghost Project Dads when the babies isn't theirs per Imperator that stone cold bitch lol) that he really bonds with the baby. Sister is sleeping and the baby wakes up, he feels guilty and decides to check on the child himself. In the dimly lit bedroom, bassinet at the foot of the bed, he take his child and starts to cry when the baby snuggles into his chest with a quiet warbled cry. After that? Veritas cannot and will not share that baby with anyone else; in fact he turns into such a baby hog so much that Copia, Terzo, and Swiss jump her the minute they get home and demand they have another.

and it's so terrifying how you paralyze me ;
(notes: the shin ai saw...... some stuff. (<- murder) also,,, sorry, im not that good at writing ,, im just trying something new :3)
As he stood there with the still-warm body, it was silent. Before.. a sound rang out and interrupted the silent atmosphere. "H.. Hiyori...?"
Shin AI's monitor was on.
"..Shin." He muttered under his breath, his eyebrows raised. How do you explain this to someone, much less an AI such as him? How would.. this affect his code? Will this make him act different..?
Maybe even traumatize him?
He swallows his thoughts, and gives his usual cheerful grin. "I.. I didn't know you were in here.. aha." A quiet chuckle escapes him. He doesn't feel bad, per se. He's just surprised he was caught.
"A-Ah.. ahh.." Silence, for a moment.
"AAAAAAAAAHHHH...!!!"
...
...
A loud, high pitched scream. Midori stops for a moment, tilting his head. Once the scream stops, Shin AI is left bright red and panting. His monitor is probably overheating.. this is probably a very overwhelming experience to the AI.
"Sigh.. are you done? You shouldn't be so scared, Shin," God, this bastard. "I won't hurt you, y'know. Calm down." He's trying to be comforting, despite the fact his suit is currently painted with the blood of his newest experiment. "H-Hiyori.. what.."
"W-What did you.. d-do..?" His eyes are still wide, darting all over the place as he takes in the sight in front of him.
His friend, Hiyori, standing there stained with blood that's not his. A stranger he doesn't recognize, limp in Hiyori's arms. Was the man in front of him even Hiyori..? No, it has to be. Why was he even scared? He knows what kind of things Hiyori does during his 'studies' of humans. It just feels.. different, to see in person.
"I think you know what I did. You know what kind of person I am, Shin." He's right, in a way. It's not like this is out of the ordinary for Hiyori; he's told Shin before the kinds of things he does with his experiments.
Well, yeah.. but that doesn't make it okay or anything.. what's even going on? He doesn't know anymore. "Um.. I-I.. I know. I was just, um, surprised. W-What are you gonna do with.. him.. now..?" Shin gestures to the corpse.
"I don't know yet. I was a little too quick with this one.." He pouts as he absentmindedly ragdolls his study subject around. He's.. playing with it, like a doll.
"..!? Y-You should be more careful..! H-Humans are.. delicate.." Shin looks a little worried now. "Oh, like you would know anything about humans.." Midori gestures to the 'Shin' himself. It's true, he's just some lines of code on a monitor, with the appearance of Shin.
There isn't a single human beating heart in the room.
"I.. I know that. I'm just making sure you don't break.. 'it'." He's copying the way Midori tends to dehumanize his victims. Shin does this often, trying to imitate Midori.. as if to trick him into believing he too, is a killer like him. Like a child pretending not to be afraid of the monster under their bed so it'll go away. A naive way of thinking.
He chuckles, finding his behavior quite entertaining. "I won't. Why.. do you not trust me? How rude." An attempt at a joke. Shin doesn't laugh. "Kidding, ahaha. I already know you don't."
"That.. I-I.. you're wrong, I do trust you.. I have to trust you..!" I mean, not like Shin has any say in the matter. Hiyori could just turn his monitor off and never turn it back on again. He's at his mercy.
Completely at his mercy. And it'll stay that way.. until he gets bored. Then Hiyori will move onto his next toy.
(notes: i was gonna add more. but i got bored. this has been in my drafts for like a week so. ill just post it now)

I just finished reading the byler powerpoint and honestly it scared the crap out of me. The past few weeks I have been trying to fully convince myself that Byler was never going to happen and we were just being queer baited. It has been partially a way to protect myself and prepare myself for the disappointment of it not happening. I am determined to not get my hopes up and then look like a clown come volume 2 when byler doesn’t happen. And then I read through your beautiful slide show. And I am not doing okay because it has fully convinced me that Byler has been planned from the beginning and is destined to happen. And now I’m completely terrified because I am no longer protected from the possibility of it not happening. I am praying that you are right and I feel like all the evidence you listed cannot all be a coincidence. But I’m just so used to being disappointed and my ships not becoming canon. It doesn’t help that everyone outside of tumblr basically acts like us byler shippers are delusional. So I just wanted to inform you of the way you changed my life and let you know I will personally hold you accountable and sue for emotional damages if byler does not happen. But in all honesty, Im sending lots of love your way. I do know that even if Byler doesn’t happen I will only survive it because I know I’ll have the other byler shippers to commiserate with. 💜💜💜
hello!!
I totally understand you wanting to protect yourself from getting your hopes up so you aren't disappointed if it doesn't happen, I know that feeling very well LOL. Thank you so much for reading the slides and I am so glad you like them!! I'm also sorry for removing your protection LOL. I've been disappointed some of my fav queer ships didn't happen in other shows before too, but some have happened and byler feels like those to me :) And there's just so much evidence! LOL, loved that little bit about holding me accountable ahahaha, I'm going to start saying that to people ahaha :) And also thanks for the love ❤️, sending some back to you as well! And whatever happens, you're totally right we will still have the wonderful byler community <33 (although I would bet money that we win 🥰)
Thanks for sending this, I really enjoyed reading it. You guys have no idea idea how much it warms my heart to hear you guys say you love these slides and to hear you talk about them <3 I just love that they've become something we can all connect and bond over 🥰 I think that's really cool and amazing and beautiful 💕
I hope you're well! xx

Hi same anon who is enjoying your live reaction (I’m shy but interested in your thoughts)
1) I SEE YOUR TAGS IN YOUR REPLY TO MY FIRST ASK 👁👁👁 JON IN A MAID DRESS PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I’M ON MY KNEES
2) I see 👁 you have finished :) How are you feeling? How ya’ doing? Are you insane? I’m still insane and I finished it over 7 months ago :) (Genuinely, I’m curious to hear your thoughts but only if you’re comfy/want to!!)
3) Now that you have finished: can I just say how refreshing it is to see the “What the fuck what the Fuck WHATTHEFUCK” at the whole ending ahaha…. Ha…. Haaaaaaa…… Glad to see I wasn’t alone in how conflicted it (the last two episodes) made me feel
Hope you’re doing well! Welcome to the After show of Somewhere Else! Also! Did you know Rusty Quill has a bunch of soundbites of the VAs saying things in character for charity! Like! Elias saying “Pika Pika” and “Like, you know, Nyah?” And Jon and Martin being sappy! You can use it to distract you of the pain of Not Knowing (while also loving Not Knowing)!
oh man dont worry all my favorite characters get the maid dress treatment. its practically tradition at this point
YES I FINISHED.... i thought it was going to end at the "i love yous" and i am. so glad it did not.... i think the ending was perfect for the kind of tragedy it was but MAN. do i feel bad for jon. tma is just a compilation of "feel bad for this sad guy" moments. i do know that i will be going back to all the content that i ignored so as to try to not spoil myself.... of course that didnt work out completely but i didnt know how it all went down so im glad for that... seriously what i wouldnt give to have gone into this not knowing ANYTHING.... the ending though does give me the PERFECT setting for my ideas of jon meeting the old archives crew as well as this jon being able to meet people even further back from before he was the archivist, like gerry and oliver... i really wanted to have something like "jon is still the archivist and meets the other people but BEFORE jon even became head archivist" and time travel doesnt really work if he returns to his original body.... i really like the idea of the other avatars meeting jon in his new ascendant form.... ANDDDDD MY WHOLE IDEA OF THE AVATARS GETTING TOGETHER TO ALL MEET and someone being new to it and hearing of all of these terrifying people and then hearing of The Archivist.... the mystery, and the most powerful one that no one else crosses because he probably pulls more strings than the web.... I MEAN REALLY. THEYRE JUST GIVING ME ALL THIS CREATIVE FREEDOM. THEYRE REALLY HANDING IT OUT. THEY EVEN SET THE STAGE FOR ME I DIDNT EVEN HAVE TO. god. i am about to have so much fun with this.
man i kept pausing just to take in how badly it was going. tma is a tragedy because jon doesnt get his own FUCKING decisions despite being preached to that it was all because of his decisions.... my poor guy. im super glad they did address a lot of what i was worried about though! not necessarily jons particular issue with the guilt of having to end the world and then being pushed to maybe possibly end countless others..... tch. tch. tch. dont get me wrong it all works narratively it just sucks. not even martin is really able to let jon have this... because of what it would do to jon i know, but it still fucking sucks. also im still frustrated that martin slapped jon like twice. tch. whatever martin has COUNTLESS world to make all of this up to him. AND IN EVERY SINGLE ONE HE HAD BETTER
YEAHHH ive heard some? of the fluff tapes but im pretty sure theres a lot of content i missed.... my favorite that i have heard so far is jons "i am very small, and have no money, so you can imagine how i feel" LMFAO
#tma spoilers#ask#sad ending? yes. however it does provide me this sparkly creative license#AAAAANDDDDD JON DOES GET TO BE PARADED AROUND OTHER WORLDS IN ALL HIS ARCHIVISTIC GLORY WAHOO#I FUCKING WINNNNNNN#thank you my friend i am going to have so much fun with this universe. new sandbox for me and my blorbos

finally found the time to watch generation loss and oh??? my gosh!????? i love ranboo’s stuff and i already had high expectations from hearing all the buzz about it but this totally blew me out of the park in a way i didn’t expect at all.
go watch it, even if you aren’t into ranboo it’s a great thing on its own. it starts a little slow but that’s on purpose!! just trust the process, as they say <3 (i’m using that in the wrong context i know but shhhhh)
anyway time to scream about it in an essay long post because i’m so incredibly normal about this series and not being a horror/arg nerd about it at all nope no way why would you think that ahaha.
[spoilers ahead! there’s only three episodes, all up on their vod channel and about an hour each! it’s so worth a watch!!]
okay, so, episode one was nothing like what i was expecting right off the bat.
i’ve seen the stuff on the actual genloss channel, and i figured it would all be sort of that vibe. imagine my surprise upon seeing ranboo sneeg and charlie being a little bit silly in a cabin in the woods (and also christian hell? for some reason?). i stuck through it, though, no matter how taken aback i was. it was so worth it in the end, but i’ll get to that later teehee <3
the cyoa aspect was cool! i wish i had been there to see it live, because i’m the biggest sucker for choice based stories and arg-style games.
not much more to say abt ep1, to be honest. just know that it’s definitely a completely different vibe than what you’ll probably expect (ranboo said this was on purpose!!). oh also i love squiggles he is everything to me. a little guy. a blorbo even. even if he uh, did turn out to be evil like i originally suspected.
ep 2! this one was almost equally silly in nature, but you can see the “cracks” begin to show a lot more in this one. (“why is cracks in quotes?” you may ask. well, iykyk, and if you don’t, watch episode three.)
the puzzler was great, i think it was hilarious that the mask was basically just how he looked anyway. the beginning was a good hook, i genuinely thought we were getting into the juicy stuff when ranboo was locked in the chair.
when he found charlie, i’m ashamed to admit that i didn’t expect charlie’s guts to be slime. that’s his thing. he’s a goopy gushy guy. i should’ve known. anyway. the part where the “illusion” starts to break and the slime turns to blood for a moment?? DELICIOUS. SO GOOD. MWAH.
NIKKI’S SUDDEN SWITCH IN HER INTRO ON THE CAROUSEL????? so good. everyone’s acting was incredible tbh especially in ep 3, i’m so happy. the silly death dialogue from ethan was great (until it wasn’t. iykyk, i’ll get to it), too. THE HAT BIT??? WHERE THEY REPROGRAMMED SNEEG??? AAA?????? so in love with this episode, it was the perfect transition to the hell that is ep 3.
okay so. ep 3. where do i start omg. i guess at the beginning, that makes sense.
i was really excited to finally have a name for hatch! honestly, even though my villain-senses were sounding off all sorts of alarms in my head, i was fooled for a short while as he was guiding ranboo. learning about the drones was interesting, too. lots of good lore built around the company and those guys! very cool ^^
WHEN RANBOO WENT AGAINST THE AUDIENCE AND CHOSE THE YELLOW CODE. IM RUNNING OUT OF WAYS TO EXPRESS MY EXCITEMENT AND AWE,,,,, UHHHH YIPPEEE???? I GUESS????? that was the thing that really set me off about hatch being maybe not so great. good stuff!!!!
ranboo finding the streamers pretty much locked in those mall restaurants!! AND CHARLIE DOING AN ACTUAL STREAM DURING IT!!!!!! gah, this series is so cool!!!!!! them constantly on the run from the drones and security (TERRIFYING monster, btw, i love when evil dystopian corporations have monsters as security <3) was so wild to watch. i don’t think i’ve been that anxious for the main characters of a series for quite some time.
them seeing the cabin set. ohhhhh my gosh. and then charlie dying (? presumably) at the hands of security before ranboo hits the button to stop everything. graaagh i ate that UP. again i’m running out of ways to express my love for this series lmaoo.
the “ending.” oh my goodness the fakeout “ending.” i was so thrilled, so happy for ranboo i let my guard down and was like “yes!!!! evil bad guys stopped woohoo!!! get this guy some rest and therapy!!!”
and then they bowed.
when i tell you i GASPED. like it was my fault for not checking the time on the video and having my guard down but i GASPED.
hatch letting the audience choose if ranboo lived or died. hearing ranboo scream and beg to be set free, and then beg to die…. i genuinely teared up. despite the rather grim choice to have them die, i think it was for the best. though i do wonder what would have happened if the votes stayed 50/50….. if anyone knows if ranboo has talked about that anywhere, do let me know! if not, i’ll shoot them an ask about it, because i’m sure it would’ve been interesting.
anyway, this series was so much cooler than i ever could’ve imagined. i was already invested in the stuff on the genloss channel, like i mentioned, but seeing the project for myself and getting to watch this incredible series was breathtaking. i’m a huge nerd for dystopias and horror, and ranboo somehow nailed combining them both with great comedy and a great story.
and i’ve heard it’s been nominated for an emmy? or something???? that’s literally so cool!!!! i wish ranboo the best of luck in future projects, genloss was a fantastic watch and i can’t recommend it enough <3
