It’s The Little Things [Duncan Shepherd x Jim Mason]

Summary: Just a little domestic fun between Duncan and Jim through the art of food. Guest starring you and Michael.

Warnings: mentions of drug use, just fluff really, swearing

WC: 1.5k

A/N: This was long fucking over due as are many other things that I’m currently working on. I need to work more on my soft side lol. Part of my little Duncan x Jim series that can be found on my master list, here. Thank you for reading! -Juno

GIF by witch

"Don't you fucking do it, Michael." Jim said, gripping the Nintendo switch controller with force. But Michael was already doing it. He threw the infamous blue shell Jim's way, it quickly catching up to him in first place, Michael trailing behind in 2nd. Poor fool, however, too close to Jim, is affected by the blast too, giving you the 1st place advantage and win.

"Fucking idiots." you stated, simply.

"Bullshit." Michael said, reaching for the last bacon-wrapped jalapeño popper off the plate in front of them, but Jim had also reached for it too. It was routine. You and Michael would come over every other Sunday for dinner, usually Jim's cleaning day. And while either Duncan or Jim cooked, games were played, drinks made.

"Let it go." Jim said, challenging Michael with his eyes. "You literally just ate one."

"And you ate the more than half of the plate." he said back. "So you let go."

"I grabbed it first." Jim began to pull it towards him, not caring if his fingers were getting messy.

"Oh fuck off." Michael pulled it back towards him and now the boys were pulling with a force, but not too much, not wanting to snap it in half. Could you blame them for their childishness though? At first glance, Duncan didn't seem like the type to be the master in the kitchen, but he sure was. Wanting to give Jim a break because he's literally been cleaning all day, Duncan offered to cook. Jim's favorite was Duncan's grilled cheese. 7 different types of cheese, turkey, ham, lettuce, and a killer salsa for a fresh taste, it was basically a heart attack on bread, but Jim fucking loved it.

The two were snapped out of their intense gaze when you walked over, snatching it from between their fingers and popping it in your mouth before plopping back down on the couch adjacent to the one Michael and Jim sat on. You returned to whatever you were doing on your phone as if nothing happened, running your tongue over your top set of teeth.

"Problem solved now, yes boys?" you questioned, not pulling your eyes away from your phone. "Maybe you should see if chef Shepherd will give up some more." Michael reached for the plate, but Jim snatched it away from his hand, wanting to be the one that goes into the kitchen to bother Duncan.

In the kitchen, stood Duncan in one of Jim's t-shirts and a pair of sweatpants that hung a little bit off his waist. He scanned quickly over his cookbook, one that he put together himself to save all of his favorite recipes. Really, it was Jim who brought out the inner chef in Duncan. He cooked for Duncan nonstop. By the time Duncan had his eyes open for work at 7:00AM, his breakfast was already on the table with his morning coffee. Jim more than had the opportunity to sleep in considering he didn't have to be at work until noon, enjoyed cooking for his boyfriend anyways.

He made sure Duncan always had something to take with him to work for lunch. There was always dinner when he got home, whether Jim cooked it or ordered takeout. Duncan wanted to return the favor and slowly he began cooking too, starting with his grilled cheese. Soon enough food was something the two found themselves bonding even closer over.

*** "Hey what are you-," Duncan began. "Jim no! Those are for the office party today!"

"Huh?" Jim said, his mouth full of chocolate chip muffin. He had eaten about 2 of them and they were pretty decent in size. Duncan stayed up late the previous night to make them, waiting until Jim fell asleep for this exact reason. If he wasn't stuffing his face with one of Duncan's grilled cheeses, it was his chocolate chip muffins. Melt in your mouth, they were to DIE for.

"You knew that my office party was today. I made just enough for everyone because I didn't want to be up super late."

"So that's why I was alone in the bed until midnight. M' sorry, Dunc. Should of told me."

"Told you?! These are your favorite, would it have mattered?"

"Probably not." Jim chuckled, licking the remaining melted chocolate chip off his finger. "I'll make it up to you though."

He walked over to Duncan, using one of his hands to hold the back of his neck. He glided his thumb slowly in circles over the exposed skin, Duncan shivering in response.

"How so?" He stepped closer, pushing Jim back against the counter, but shoving his hands in his pocket to maintain his dominance.

"I'll make those cookies that you like so much. Y'know? The butter crunch ones with the-,"

"Chocolate chips and almond pieces." Duncan finished his sentence with a heavy exhale, excited to hear those words.

"And I'll make 3 batches. 2 for you and 1 for your people, yeah?"

*** "Ocean eyes we're not going to have any brownies, pot or regular if you keep sticking your finger in the batter." Duncan sighed, high out of his mind trying to move around their kitchen. Jim was pretty high too, with a bad case of the munchies, having smoked again a few hours after they had dinner. He had already finished the party sized bag of cool ranch Doritos, and now he was craving something sweet.

Jim had decided that he not only wanted to make regular brownies, but he also wanted to make edibles as well. A friend of his had invited them to a pool party and what better way to spice it up than with some special treats?

"Okay, just one more." Jim said, going in for another scoop.

"Share though." Duncan said, only now realizing just how hungry he actually was. Sure, the actual brownies would have been a lot more filling, but they were too far gone now.

"Nuh Uh. You said we have to stop." Jim turned his back to Duncan, bowl clenched against his chest. "So we're stopping."

"Jim if you don't set that damn bowl down on the counter so we can finish it together."

*** Plenty of good memories came from the kitchen. There were many days and nights of whipped and butter cream filled kisses. One too many glasses of wine or one too many shots. On the nights that the boys did bake together, they found themselves often covered in flour or sugar as one of the two had gotten too frisky, leading to an intense make out session on one of the empty counters or the kitchen island.

There were plenty of jokes told, plenty deep conversations had, and a lot of heart to hearts. If Jim wasn't making Duncan laugh until he either drooled on himself or whatever he was drinking shot out of his nose, the two were complimenting and praising each other. They were always curious to know how each other's day went. Whatever the other wanted to talk about, the other was excited to hear about it. Dinner was never dull between the two, even the times they had fought.

*** "Here try this." Duncan said, sliding his plate over to Jim who peered down at his phone. Jim, hungry, gave it no second thoughts, immediately taking a bite.

"Wow this is a fucking, nut." Jim said as the sandwich basically melted in his mouth. "You like comfort food, huh?"

"College will do that to you." Duncan replied, chuckling at Jim's response. "But I'm guessing you like it?"

"Like it? Dunc, this is genius."

"Well, you're always cooking for me and I wanted to return the favor. It isn't much but..."

"I wish you'd stop doing that. Y'know? Like you always tell me. Own it, scruffy." Duncan gave Jim a closed eye smile at the nickname, referring to his facial hair. "You made this. It was your idea and I love it. Stop always trying to down play yourself, right?"

"So you do listen when I talk?" Duncan joked.

"Mmmph." was all Jim got out, his mouth full of grilled cheese.

"Let me cook for you, then." Duncan suddenly said. "Tonight. Take the night off. Let me spoil you?"

"The more you talk, the more I get like this, raging hard on."

Duncan nearly choked on his drink, laughing at what Jim said. Jim was all like that since the very beginning and it only showed more once they finally moved in together. He was always so playful and immature, but he knew when he needed to be serious. More like, he knew when Duncan was serious. Because face it, Jim could play and make jokes all day. However, it brought Duncan peace and higher sense of humor, something that laid dormant in him while he lived in DC.

*** "Can I kiss the chef?" Jim asked as he approached Duncan from behind, gently setting the plate on the island behind him. He licked the remaining cream cheese off of his fingers from his brief struggle with Michael.

"Depends." Duncan answered, looking at Jim over his shoulder. "Are you actually here to kiss the chef or are you here for something else?"

"Both." Jim answered honestly, wrapping his arms around him.

"Well you can only have one thing and it isn't more poppers."

Hey, would you be open to IronAgent (Phil x Tony)? If yes, from the angst list (because /of course/ I look there first lol) 19: "Why did you wait until I moved on?" If you feel like it. Thanks! <3

never done this one before, but i like it!

Tony isn’t used to heartbreak. He’s kind of an asshole like that. Or maybe he is used to heartbreak, but he’s not quite used to people admitting that they don’t like him like that.

Phil Coulson was someone he met while at an orchestra with Pepper and showing up late and getting the wrong seat and falling asleep.

He was the one who jabbed him awake and explained why the orchestra was so important, and Tony saw how much he could appreciate it, and he wanted more of it.

So he asked. Phil said yes. And their first date was to a diner where Tony had to give Phil, like, eight quarters for the jukebox.

He was different from anyone Tony usually saw. Different as in decent, different as in he wore a white button-up shirt nearly every single day, and Tony liked it, but he liked it more when it was a bit wrinkled and Phil broke down and unbuttoned the top two.

They dated for eleven months and thirty days. They broke up in July.

In retrospect, Tony can see why. Phil was always interested in specialized security and was one of the best people to stay calm under stress. (Tony joked that it was because of him.)

Phil calls him in July. Tony is in Malibu, and Phil lives in Chicago, and he won’t allow Tony to pay for a plane or train ticket.

Now he knows why.

The phone call is short, mainly because Tony knows that he’s bursting with questions and Phil won’t answer them, because it’s considered rude to ask someone why they don’t want to choose you anymore.

Tony says okay. He says okay on the phone, which sucks, and it’s...

He calls Rhodey next.

“You okay?”

“Probably. Maybe.”

“You’ll be fine,” Rhodey says, in that tone of voice that Tony usually always trusts, but this time it’s different because Rhodey isn’t with him right now, he’s with his cousin in Florida trying to learn how to handle different beach-themed cocktails. Call it scientific research.

“Listen,” Rhodey says, “I gotta go. Ben’s taking me to dinner, but call me when you need me, okay?”

“Got it.”

He’s not going to do that.

Phil joined SHIELD. You can’t have personal connections, not really.

And Tony was as personal as they got, but he was also beneficial. Phil knows that if SHIELD ever caught wind of Tony being his, there would be talk. Talk about “why don’t you convince your boyfriend to get us weapons?”

“Why don’t you bring Tony Stark over? Let us in on some secrets?”

He can’t do that to him.

And relationships...

Best not to think about it.

It takes longer than thought possible for Tony to get over Phil. In many respects, he might not be.

But he goes out the next week and makes headlines dancing with all sorts of people and socializing and proving that he can move on. He will move on. He’s already moved on.

He bitterly hopes that Phil can see it.

(Phillip Coulson is busy fighting bad guys in a grocery store, but as he dodges a can of peaches being thrown at his head, he sees an overturned magazine rack. And there Tony is, smiling at a girl and-)

Tony keeps tabs on him, sometimes. He doesn’t often pop up. Tony doesn’t really look into security, because he knows that if he finds out where Phil is, what Phil is doing, it’s all he’s going to think about. And he can’t keep him safe, he can’t keep him protected.

So he focuses on weapons and business and making sure that Pepper isn’t too pissed off, because it’s like Pompeii 2.0 if that happens.

Coulson is in the office when the break-room TV is turned on and the news is up, and agents are crowding around.

“Back to work, everyone,” he says, but he stops when he sees the headline.

Tony Stark Declared Missing after Weapons Demonstration Gone Awry

He can’t breathe. He feels everything slam down, and he can’t let anyone know it’s all coming down over his head, so he turns off the news.

“Get focused,” he says. “I know at least one of you is supposed to be talking to our agents stationed in Liberia about a potential 084. Get it done.”

He goes into his office and stares at a framed picture of a Ferris wheel.

Just below that, folded up, is Tony kissing his cheek while he laughs.

And it might be done.

He wishes it wasn’t done, he wishes that he had never broken up with him. He’s always wished that, every single time he comes into his apartment and Tony’s plans for decorating their apartment when they both came back to Boston (Phil never did) were the talk of the night for many a night.

He can’t request any special information. He can’t risk it, doesn’t want to risk it.

Maria still catches him, because she’s Maria. She knows everything.

“You got personal history with him,” she says over a mutual dinner. She invited him to her house. She didn’t seem like a house person, but then again she also has coasters with embroidered flower bouquets on them, so there’s that.

“I’m not going to tell you anything about it.”

“Wasn’t expecting you to. Just wanted to let you know that I know.”

“And how would you know?”

Maria smiles, biting into the pizza that she has ordered and Phil hasn’t touched, but still paid half for.

“Because I’m smart and observant, Coulson.”

“You can call me Phil, you know.”

“Nope, rather not. But if you’re not discussing it, then it must have been romantic. I’m surprised you guys dated. For long, if I’m right.”

“Under a year,” he says.

“And you’re still this affected?”

“I broke up with him,” Phil says. “You know why.”

“You’re the dumbest ever,” Maria says. “You were dating the son of one of the best-known men of all time, and you think that you were putting his life in danger?”

“When you put it like that, it makes me sound stupid.”

“You’re not,” Maria says. “You’re smart. But Tony Stark isn’t exactly a saint. He knows how to fight dirty.”

Tony Stark just flew out of a cave and his first thought is the fact that he really wants a nice burger, and the second thought is that he’s wondered if he’s just invented something revolutionary.

It’s about two weeks after everything and he’s still finding trouble with his standard mattress that he gets a visit.

Strategic-Homeland-Whatever.

They call themselves a private security firm. Tony knows better, has seen better liars.

But Agent Barton is insistent that security is all they do, and they want to make sure that Tony Stark isn’t a danger to himself.

(What he really means, most likely, is that SHIELD has caught on to the little fact that his flight suit exists.)

Phil met Obadiah Stane exactly once, and exactly once is the only meeting you really need with a man who is the physical embodiment of an oil spill.

Barton calls him, says that he needs to get there now, the mission is going wrong. Coulson’s his handler, and as much as he’d like to send Maria or Natasha or literally anybody else, he is worried.

He finds Dum-E waving frantically, with Tony hunched over a counter and breathing hard, a blue light emanating from his chest.

“Tony?”

He turns around wildly, freezing as he looks at Phil.

“I don’t have time to deal with you,” he pants out, breath ragged. “Move out of my way, and stay out of my way.”

Phil witnesses Tony in his element. He’s always flown above the rest, but never quite so literally.

Pepper clutches Tony’s hand and he holds her close, and oh.

Oh.

Phil knows he shouldn’t have expected anything. He knows that it’s been years and years since they were dating, since they were each other’s everything and a half.

But it still kind of hurts when you’re not a choice.

They turn to look at Coulson.

“I assume that Clint is yours?” Tony asks.

“One of them, yes.”

“He needs to get better about lying, he clearly ate my leftover sandwich.”

“I’ll...talk to him about that. Everyone okay here?”

“For now. Need to tie up some loose ends.”

“I can help with that.”

“I don’t need it,” Tony says, and Pepper follows his gaze carefully before speaking.

“We would love the help,” she says, and Phil can tell that she doesn’t know.

Somehow-and Phil’s not quite sure how-that burns. Tony didn’t tell her about them. It’s egotistical of him, sure, but he kind of wants to be known as a part in Tony’s life.

SHIELD gets involved. They clean up Stane like he was never there, and there’s a press release about him having a heart attack in his sleep that is clearly not the case, but there are enough pictures of him eating unhealthily that it can kind of make sense when people look at some shitty news source.

Phil makes flashcards.

Reminds him of studying days, when he used to quiz Tony on Captain America trivia.

He stumped him, once.

Tony doesn’t like that Phil’s back in his life. He doesn’t have to like it.

But really, it just...

They used to be together. And they didn’t end because it got bad, they ended because Phil had a job and he didn’t want to be a couple because that would somehow ruin things. And Tony got it, really. The board wasn’t exactly pleased that Tony wasn’t hush-hush about his activities.

“What’s gonna happen, they’re gonna sue me? Ask me to stop?” Tony had asked, laughing. “I don’t give a shit what people think. They rely on me too much to afford to have an opinion cloud their judgment.”

Phil isn’t like that.

They danced together. He still remembers Phil’s order for food.

(Lo Mein with veggies, but he would never eat all of the veggies that were in there. Plus egg rolls.)

“If you just read the flash cards, you should be fine,” Phil says. “Trust me.”

“You waited to tell me that until I moved on or something?” Tony asks sardonically.

Tony listened to Phil twice in his life and trusted him.

The first was six months in, when he said “I love you” while they were lounging on the worst couch that Tony had ever sat in, in an apartment with a leak during rainy days.

The second was when Phil told him to live his life to his full potential on a short phone call.

Fool me once, fool me twice, and never again.

“The truth is...I am Iron Man.”

Reacting To: Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts (Season 2 Episode 1)

Episode Title: Paw of the Jaguar

Spoiler Warning: Kindly proceed if you’ve already seen the episode or are able to tolerate spoilers.

1. Naturally, Season 2 picks up where things left off at the end of the first season; Kipo manages to avoid being captured by Scarlemagne by reining in (or still trying to) the Mega Flamingo that grabbed her. Wolf says that the flamingo is their best bet and so, she, Kipo, Dave, Benson and Mandu hop on it in the hopes of it leading them to Scarlemagne and Lio Oak, Kipo’s dad.

2. Back at Scarlemagne’s Court, we find the captured denizens/humans including Lio and Hoag, whom are all apparently separated from the kids of the burrow for some reason. Hoag is blaming Kipo for their kidnapping, which I have to be honest; He is right. She did unknowingly lead Scarlemagne to Site B. One of the mind-controlled mutes starts spraying the Puppet Pheromones on the humans, which includes Hoag. But Scarlemagne/Hugo doesn’t want Lio to get sprayed with the pheromones.

3. I have a prediction. I bet Lio and Scarlemagne used to be friends or co-workers and I’m pretty sure they had something to do with Kipo being part mute.

4. Before taking off, our heroes are spotted by Troy, Asher and Dahlia and they are wondering what’s up with Kipo’s arm to which she tells them she’s part mute. Troy wants to tag along to help out but Kipo says that it’s too dangerous and suggests that Wolf and Benson take them to the Timbercats while she and Dave go after Scarlemagne. Despite some push-back from Wolf, her plan is more or less agreed upon. I think not bringing Wolf along isn’t a very good idea since she’s the best fighter. Also, he has an entire army; What makes her think that only her and Dave could take them on?

5. As she makes her way over to Scarlemagne’s Court, she is making sure to leave some remnants of Dave’s exoskeleton to allow the others to know where they’re going. Suddenly, the mind-controlled Mega Monkey attacks them. Kipo tries to calm it down by singing the iconic song, ‘What We Have Is You’ again but it doesn’t seem to be working as well as before. Maybe she needs to play the guitar lol.

6. The Mega Monkey grabs Kipo and she tries singing to it one more time and thankfully, she manages to calm it down but for only a few seconds before the pheromone-infused collar it’s wearing starts to activate. Luckily, Kipo swiftly uses her huge cat arm to destroy it, freeing Mega Monkey from Scarlemagne’s control. Aww, I’m so glad because I can’t bear to see it being controlled any longer.

7. Kipo seems to understand what the Mega Monkey is saying because it tells her that it wants to come along with Kipo to stop Scarlemagne. Kipo does the right thing and convinces it to stay put because she doesn’t want it to get mind-controlled again. I agree with Dave; This moment was so cute and touching but I’m sure we will see Mega Monkey again. Plus, Kipo gave it her bracelet/wristband as a symbol of friendship. That’s so sweet.

8. Kipo tells Dave that the Mega Monkey is “special”. I’m now actually wondering if it’s somebody Kipo knows or has met before. Maybe it’s her mom, Song? But didn’t she die when Kipo was a baby or something? Hmm...

9. Meanwhile, I don’t really know what Wolf and Benson are trying to do with Troy, Asher and Dahlia. They want the three of them to learn how to wrangle Pierre in order to gain the respect of the Timbercats. They cover Asher and Dahlia’s faces with maple syrup to lure in Pierre, which catches its attention and it charges right at them. Troy tries to defend them but Benson pushes him out of the way and we get this moment:

10. STOP THE PRESS! Did y’all see this? They blushed! Not just one of them but both of them! OMG! This is lowkey confirmation that Troy is gay too. Well, we all suspected it but c’mon this blush pretty much confirms it. Plus, the little pessimist within me is fearful of one-sided crushes. But luckily, we didn’t get any of that; YASSS!

11. Anyways, back to the story hehe. Pierre starts licking Asher and Dahlia’s maple-syrup covered faces, which makes Benson and Wolf think that they’re doing a good job. Anyways, I love how Wolf doesn’t know how to fist-bump. I guess it’s because she was raised by wolves lol.

12. It’s already night time and Kipo and Dave have finally reached Scarlemagne’s Court but it’s strangely empty. We then quickly shift over to a shot of Scarlemagne and his army flying over (or is it to?) Ratland.

13. Oh, great. More lessons on how to impress the Timbercats in order to let Asher, Dahlia and Troy stay with them; Is this really necessary? Don’t they have better things to do during a time of crisis? This time, they want them to learn how to properly chop wood. They do a decent job with it but Dahlia (I think?) unexpectedly goes ham on the wood and according to Asher, it’s because it has been a long day for her.

14. Kipo eventually spots her dad inside a prison cell that is guarded by two of the primate mutes and she rushes in to attack. One of them sprays the pheromones on her but it doesn’t seem to do a thing. I wonder why? She then beats them and frees her dad.

15. More Troy and Benson moments! We basically see them talking some more and Benson comes up with an idea to have them give flapjacks to the Timbercats. He also says that he has the best recipe in the world to which Troy asks if it includes flour, milk and eggs and Benson replies yes. Don’t they know that those are the basics? LOL.

16. But please, go ahead and be your cute gay selves while you guys flirt and bond over flapjacks. And it’s pretty clear that Wolf, Asher and Dahlia can sense their chemistry.

17. We shift things over to Ratland and all of its patrons are freaking out whilst rushing to exit the theme park since Scarlemagne has arrived, without an entrance ticket for that matter. Scarlemagne reveals to Amy and Brad (two of Ratland’s personnel) that he plans to take over Las Vistas and rename it as Aurum. He envisions Aurum to be a city where mutes will reign supreme over humans. He then proceeds to order his army to dismantle Ratland, which upsets Amy and Brad. Aww, I feel so bad for them!

18. Benson, Wolf, Mandu as well as their new friends arrive at the Timbercats’ forest and they try to return Pierre back to Yumyan. Yumyan notices that Pierre is acting differently because he seems to be attached to Asher. Benson and Wolf try to convince Yumyan and the rest of the Timbercats to let them stay with them by telling them their story about losing their home and etc. And guess what? It’s working because Yumyan is in tears as he is overcome with emotion knowing how brave they’re being despite the hardships. Umm, okay??? And so, they manage to quickly win over all of them. Well, it’s mostly because they’re friends of Kipo but a win is still a win lol.

19. As Wolf and Benson are getting ready to go back to help out Kipo and Dave, Troy walks over to Benson to thank him. They then talk about what they plan to do once they hopefully reunite again; They’re basically setting up a date! And oh, before leaving, Troy gives him one of these:

20. Oh. My. God. A kiss, a gay kiss on the cheek! And it’s only the first episode? I’m screaming! I love these two; I ship these two! YASSS! I hope they meet up again soon because I need more Troyson moments. And Benson is obviously so happy about what just happened. Same here, Benson. Same here.

21. Now back to Kipo, Dave and Lio. Lio reveals to Kipo that he and Song had infused Kipo’s DNA with a mutagen in order for her to become a Mega Jaguar herself. And that is why Scarlemagne’s pheromones didn’t work on her because they only work on primates. What a revelation lol. I was kinda right; I knew that Lio had something to do with his daughter’s transformation. But why would he and Song want to experiment on their own daughter, even if it’s to save the world or whatever? That’s kind of....I don’t know, off?

22. Just as I was half-expecting for Kipo to get mad at her dad, she reacts in the complete opposite way and is excited about becoming a Mega Jaguar and wants it to happen now to get everyone to safety.

23. I have questions lol. If she becomes a Mega Jaguar, will it be permanent and she can she ever turn back to her normal human form? Or maybe switch between the two forms? Lio says that she needs to train with the Chevre Sisters (who we’ve never heard till now) in order to control her transformation or else she’ll never come back. What does that mean when he says “never come back”? Like is she supposed to learn how to switch between her human form and her Jaguar form?

24. They notice that the flamingo that flew them there is being taken away by the primate mutes and Kipo foolishly rushes to attack them to retrieve the Mega Flamingo. She is stopped by Lio but it’s too late because one of them manages to grab hold of Lio whilst trying to escape with the help of Dave who has now transformed into his flying hero mode. Kipo tries to fight back to rescue her father but there’s too many of them. Lio urges Dave to fly Kipo out to safety and the scene cuts off.

25. Back at Ratland, Amy and Brad are devastated at the destruction of Ratland by Scarlemagne and his army. He then grabs hold of two humans and sprays them with his pheromones. Here, we also find out more about Scarlemagne’s evil intentions, which is similar to how Planet of the Apes is and that is to overcome their oppression by humans for thousands of years and basically topple over them.

26. Please don’t kill the rats, please don’t. Scarlemagne wants to make an example out of Brad and Amy as he threatens to launch a bottle of explosive nectar at them. He advises them to run but unfortunately, the scene then cuts off. Oh how I hope they survived!

27. Back in the woods, Benson, Wolf and Mandu bump into Kipo and Dave. Kipo then tells them what happened and she totally regrets not thinking things through, which led to her unsuccessful rescue attempt of her dad. She feels like her instincts have betrayed her. Wolf and Benson try to console her by telling her all the good things she did in the past to which there’s a lot of them.

28. That immediately makes Kipo feel a lot better and we then get a nice group hug between all of them. But the love-fest ended quickly because they hear a loud rumbling in the background, which of course, as we know, it’s coming from Ratland. Again, I hope Amy and Brad are alright. Scarlemagne and his primate mute and human army are seeing flying away from the area, taking some of the wreckage from there.

29. We then see in the distance, a group of cloaked individuals looking at the result of the explosion. I wonder if they are mutes or humans? I can’t tell. One of them does appear to have a beak and two of them have really long ears. Although, their legs looks very human-like. Maybe they’re part-mutes like Kipo? But what we do know is that they’re against Scarlemagne, which is good news.

30. Thinking back, I suspect that they’re the Chevre Sisters, Lio was talking about to Kipo. And it would make perfect sense if they’re part-mutes too because they’re supposedly going help Kipo to learn how to control her transformation.

31. Well y’all. That is the end of my review of episode 1 of Season 2 of Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts. This episode absolutely exceeded my expectations; It was filled with so much excitement, action and of course, love. Stay tuned tomorrow for my review of episode 2. Thanks for reading! Till then, bye!

Trailing behind, 16.9% enjoyed the scene where Reiner meets up with the Warrior Cadets, and 9.9% enjoyed seeing the human forms of the Cart and Jaw titans for the first time.

WE FORGOT TO ASK LAST WEEK D: WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING SCENES/MOMENTS FROM EPISODE 60 WAS YOUR FAVORITE? 142 Responses

Last week, the highest percentage of people (at 30.3%) enjoyed Reiner’s, “I’m sick and tired… of walls.” 19% favored the scene of Zeke’s scream turning Eldians into titans. 17.6% were most hyped up over Reiner and Galliard wrecking Fort Slava.

MAPPA WENT ALL OUT WITH THE CINEMATOGRAPHY IN THIS EPISODE. WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THE CINEMATIC PANS AND ROTOSCOPE ANIMATION? 142 Responses

Overall, 75.4% of the total vote went in favor of the animation this week, with 33.8% of viewers stating they felt as though they were watching a movie, 32.4% enjoying the fluidity, and 9.2% enjoying the upgrade from the stiffer animation in the previous season. 10.6% felt the rotoscoping and cinematic shots were a little too over the top for an anime, and 10.6% are indifferent. A small handful aren’t enjoying the cinematic animation at all.

Hated the rotoscope, loved everything else.

It was a bit off-putting at first but I've grown to really like it

it was different but i liked it! it was cool. reminded me of some anime movies i’ve seen, though unique in it own sense

Thought it was great and fluid just at some points like the scene with udo on the docks felt a bit choppy.

Beautiful work, it honestly felt like I was watching a movie. From cinematography to shot framing to the animation. A dialogue heavy episode felt exciting, which is amazing.

I really liked the animation

The animation is so glowy

A smaller handful aren’t enjoying the new music.

They DEFINITELY bring the right vibes lol. again, different, but i like it!

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE CLOSEUP OF ZEKE’S MOUTH? 141 Responses

In our first of a series of unnecessary crack questions, 31.9% find Zeke’s mouth closeup to have been pretty cool animation. 24.8% are very concerned about Zeke’s treatment of his lungs (do shifters get lung damage?). 20.6% didn’t care about Zeke’s mouth at aoo, while 14.2% would welcome a smooch from him. A handful of people just think it’s gross, lol.

Fucking hate zeke smh 🙄

He smokin a spliffy 😂 not no ciggy

what chapstick using??lmao. it was a cool scene

WHAT’S YOUR OPINION ABOUT ELDIAN ASSES? 140 Responses

Eldian asses didn’t turn out to be too controversial, with the majority (42.1%) just wanting to know the details of Zeke’s secret ass wiping technique. 10.7% just think Eldian asses are neat, and another 10% are more enthusiastic about some nice Eldian asses. 25.7% are confused about the question’s inclusion, and 11.4% don’t understand why this was asked at all.

DO YOU WANT REINER TO GIVE YOU A HEAD PAT? 140 Responses

In a close race, 42.1% of respondents would be thrilled to get a nice head pat from Reiner! 41.4% apparently don’t, and just wanna know what the heck the pollsters are smoking while writing up these questions. 11.4% do NOT want Reiner head pats. :(

ZEKE SEEMS TO BE KEEPING HIS ROYAL LINEAGE A SECRET FROM MARLEY DESPITE HIS LOYALTY TO THEM. ANY IDEAS WHY YOU THINK HE IS? 139 Responses

Zeke, the “wonderboy” (as General Calvi puts it) who sold out his own parents, has never been doubted by Marley in terms of his loyalty. Yet, for some reason he seems to be keeping his royal bloodline a secret from them. When we asked why that is, over half of respondents (56.1%) state that they are suspicious of Zeke and his real motives, believing that he is plotting something under Marley’s nose. 25.2% feel that he doesn’t want them to know he’s royal so that they can’t abuse his power, and 12.9% think he simply doesn’t let them know so that they won’t kill him.

I forgot he was royal

maybe they will force him to continue the bloodline through children, or maybe he will get used or killed

Well if they dont know hes got a hereditary advantage over both his predeccesors and succesors, he'll always be recognised as the best beast titan and heaps better than my boy Colt.

WE LEARNED IN THIS EPISODE THAT FALCO’S LAST NAME IS “GRICE.” DO YOU THINK THIS WILL HOLD ANY SIGNIFICANCE? 139 Responses

32.4% of respondents don’t remember anyone named Grice. To recap, “Grice” is the name of the person who recruited Grisha Yeager into the Restorationist group, and is the one who was kicked off the wall for the restorationist titans to chase after once they were transformed by Marley. For those that did remember this seemingly random person, 52.2% feel that this relation will be brought up again and have importance to the story, and 12.9% feel it doesn’t really mean anything other than being a neat little detail.

I feel like you asking this implies that there’s something to it

Not sure yet. But, Falco and Colt seem to be really caring and aware of how the Marlyeans treat Marly-Eldians (at least compared to the other warrior candidates). Also, when we saw their parents they seemed kind too, showing lots of concern for Colt. Maybe they learnt what the former restorationist/other Grice was doing and his cause of death and sent their kids to the warrior program for the same reason Grisha and Dina did Zeke? My bet is Colt & Falco are the restorationist Grice's nephews?

YOUR REACTION TO THE CART TITAN BEING A CUTE WOMAN? 140 Responses

Pieck deserves a colorful pie chart, and she got one! 25.7% say she’s best girl, 22.9% think she’s utterly adorable. 13.6% of viewers already knew about Pieck before getting to this point and were unsurprised. At a tie, 11.4% of voters think that it’s amazing, or they were shocked to find out that the quadrupedal nightmare titan is really just a short, cute woman.

I worked it out last episode since the armbands appeared to indicate the 'type/status' of Eldians, but I was a bit surprised last episode I thought from the trailer the red bands may be special lineages i.e. Ackerman, Oriental clan, and Riess/Fritz. Still think she may be from the oriental clan though since the only characters we've seen with a similar appearance to her are Mikasa and her mother.

she kinda shawty 👀 but she looks scary too

WE WERE FORMALLY INTRODUCED TO MORE CHARACTERS THIS WEEK, SO WE WILL ASK AGAIN… WHICH NEW CHARACTER IS YOUR FAVORITE SO FAR? 143 Responses

Last week, Falco was the most favored of the new cast with only 40% of the vote. This week, he shoots up over 10 percentage points, with 50.3% of viewers feeling the most positively toward him. Pieck comes in second with 17.5% of the vote, and Gabi is hanging on with just 12.6% of the vote. Colt and Galliard are trailing just a little bit more behind them.

Gabi best girl

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE FATE OF YMIR? 144 Responses

While we did get teased about Ymir’s fate in Season 3, seeing the scene in full can definitely have more of an impact. 37.5% of respondents have accepted the notion of Ymir dying, and feel that it was a decent end for her character, all things considered. 22.9% are in complete and total anguish over her fate, and 20.1% are simply just disappointed and had hoped to see more of her. A very small percentage think that this is actually a red herring, and that Ymir is somehow still alive somewhere.

Already saw this in season 3

Appropriately grim and realistic given what lengths Marley will go to in order to protect themselves

I am in so much pain please euthanize me that’s my wife

i didn’t really like her anyway so it’s fine(but it was still a bit sad)

Kinda hate crimey considering shes the only OUT (@jean) charcter. Nah jk. Like wasnt shocked tho coz we saw Galliard last ep

Let's fucking GOOOOOO

Galliard will NEVER replace Ymir, I already hate his bitch ass

So Galliard really is a replacement scrappy eh? I already hate him JUST for that.

TURNS OUT THAT GALLIARD IS MARCEL’S BROTHER. DO YOU THINK THIS WILL BE SIGNIFICANT? 143 Responses

Over half of respondents (52.4%) believe that Galliard’s relation to Marcel will have significance at some point. 32.9% think that it might, but don’t want to say either way. A small percentage feel it’s just a detail that won’t matter. 12.6% have completely forgotten who Marcel is (to refresh your memory, Ymir ate him before RBA attacked the walls).

DO YOU THINK THE MAN WEARING THE ARMBAND INCORRECTLY WILL BE IMPORTANT? 144 Responses

At 73.6%, the majority of viewers are eyeing the random amputee soldier who Falco briefly helped out, believing that he will be important in some manner moving forward. 13.9% believe that it’s just a random soldier, and the scene maybe meant more in terms of showing Falco’s kindness. 12.5% aren’t sure what to make of the amputee soldier at all.

LAST WEEK, WHEN ASKED WHO WILL INHERIT THE ARMORED TITAN, THE MAJORITY PICKED FALCO. AFTER THIS EPISODE, WHO DO YOU THINK WILL INHERIT THE ARMORED TITAN NOW? 143 Responses

Falco is still the most favored to inherit the Armored Titan from Reiner with the percentage of people believing he will jumping from 37.6% to 48.3%. 21.7% are still confident that Gabi will ultimately be the one who gets to eat Reiner. 28.7% believe that neither of them will inherit Reiner’s titan at all.

DO YOU THINK THAT REINER REALLY BELIEVES THE PARADISIANS ARE DEVILS? 143 Responses

The overwhelming majority of respondents don’t believe that Reiner really means what he says when he calls the Paradisians “savage, heartless devils.” Only a small percentage feel he does really means what he says, and a handful of others aren’t sure.

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT REINER WITH WHAT WE’VE SEEN IN THIS ARC SO FAR? 143 Responses

The majority of viewers feel very positively about Reiner and are enjoying seeing more of him, with 46.2% stating that Reiner is really starting to grow on them, while 26.6% already liked Reiner from the start. 18.2% are beginning to feel more empathy for Reiner, although they still aren’t huge fans, and a smaller percentage don’t like him and haven’t been swayed by the narrative as of yet.

Always seemed like there was lots to him, enjoying the furthered development into his psyche :)

he’s so hot omg. i feel so terrible cause he’s clearly suffering from ptsd and his disorder too. he seems torn. i do like how he is playing a major role so far.

I’m in love with Reiner and always have been

Meh

Reiner became 1000% hotter after his life fell apart

REINER AND GABI ARE REVEALED TO BE COUSINS. THOUGHTS? 142 Responses

36.6% of respondents were genuinely shocked to learn that Gabi and Reiner are cousins. 21.8% feel more invested in Gabi’s character arc after knowing this information. 19% were already spoiled on this, and 15.5% don’t really care about it at all.

Kinda thought she wanted to fuck her cousin lmao

Makes me horrified how casually they talk abt eating Reiner

They had the same last name so I figured they must have had some relation.

Yee haw

GABI QUESTIONS REINER AFTER HE TALKED ABOUT THE 104TH, ASKING IF PEOPLE ON PARADIS WERE ALL BAD. DO YOU THINK SHE CAN OVERCOME HER BRAINWASHING TO SEE THAT PARADISIANS AREN’T EVIL? 143 Responses

The majority think that there is a possibility for Gabi to see things from a new perspective over time. 40.6% aren’t completely sold on it yet, but also believe that it’s within the realm of possibility. 32.9% are very confident that this is the direction her story arc is going to take, and 26.6% think that nothing will be able to undo years of brainwashing for her.

THE TYBURS ARE SAID TO BE AN AFFLUENT FAMILY THAT HOLDS THE WARHAMMER TITAN, BUT HAVE NEVER BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY CONFLICT. WHY WOULD THEY WANT TO GET INVOLVED NOW? 139 Responses

While we still don’t know much about the Tybur family, we thought we’d check in and see what preconceived notions viewers may already have about them. 27.3% believe the Tybur family feel the same as Marley and see Paradis as a threat. 30.2% think that the only reason they’d want to get involved in the conflict is if they get something about it. 41.7% think that the Tyburs are super sus and ultimately will have their own agenda for attacking Paradis.

They got the good life already, why battle?

WITH AN ATTACK ON PARADIS BEING IMMINENT, HOW DO YOU THINK REINER WILL REACT WHEN HE RETURNS TO THE ISLAND? 139 Responses

We’ve seen Reiner struggle over the weight of his sins in previous seasons, with Ymir even pointing out that he has developed a type of “split personality” to cope with the horror he forced onto the people of Paradis. With the prospect of returning to the island, we asked how you think Reiner will handle the situation. With the highest percentage, 32.4% of respondents feel that Reiner’s mental state will make him completely ineffective if he returns to Paradis. 28.8% think he may even completely switch back to his “soldier persona” once he faces his former comrades again. 26.6% believe that he will keep himself together and stay focused on the mission handed to him. 9.4% think he will find a way to avoid going back altogether.

Honestly, don't know.

I wouldnt say ineffective, probably just ina daze of sorts. Like hes not fully in the moment.

Idk if he is even gonna go

Not Sure

I hope my boi Reiner makes it through!

REINER FLASHBACKS NEXT WEEK! ARE YOU EXCITED TO FINALLY GET THE WARRIORS’ BACKSTORY? 142 Responses

The vast majority are happy to be finally getting the Warriors’ backstory in the next episode, with 69% feeling overwhelmed with excitement about it, and 19.7% just happy to finally be getting to this point. A smaller percentage don’t really care about learning their backstory and a handful of people are actually dreading it.

I loved the baby warrior flashback and can’t wait for next week.

ON A SCALE OF REINER TO ZEKE, HOW EAGER ARE YOU TO GET BACK TO PARADIS? 141 Responses

While there is a handful of people who are enjoying the new perspective and getting to know these new characters in Marley, the majority of viewers are (unsurprisingly) eager to see what’s going on with the original cast after the 4 year time skip and the cliffhanger at the ocean in season 3. A message from manga readers: we know your pain, just hang in there!

This arc isn't really doing it for me. The story is only interesting when it focused on the 104th.

If their goal is to make me sympathize with the Warriors it ain't working, I frankly don't give a crap about their sob stories and want to see Eren and friends wreck shit for them

ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS ON THE EPISODE?

Animation and graphics quality is amazing. The sea was CGI too which feels a bit too detailed compared to other things. The plot and vibe is amazing. I like the WW2 style of things. There are so many interactions coming just the thought makes me hyped up. I can easily rewatch it and notice new details and i enjoy it too. Feels really packed and intense.

Solid, loved the animation props to MAPPA, cant wait to see Reiner's character development.

Kinda just people walking around with HELLA ptsd. Overall kinda vibey Very reminiscent of seas 3 part 1. I will say kinda tgf about these knew kids accept Colt, just wanna see the ogs and Jeans side part. I also HATE Reiner but.........dare I say.....he's growing in me???? Not gabi tho

Great episode, the trailer's beginning to make a lot more sense now. I didn't expect that guy with the long blonde hair declaring Eren as the enemy (from the trailer) to be part of the Tybur family (maybe I'm wrong here but he looked identical to one of the Tybur family members in the photo Zeke showed.) I assumed he was maybe the Marley leader haha. I think he may be the warhammer titan but it's hard to tell at this point. Regarding the Tybur family, another curious thing is how they are celebrated internationally not just domestically for their help during the great titan war. I am curious whether Marley only treat the Tybur family well because if they didn't that would create issues globally? It seems like the Tybur's have lots of power. But, I wonder if the war hammer titan will be a letdown... I thought it would be the 'big boss' of the titans but after learning that titan doesn't go through training like the other titan shifters and never fought I feel like it's a 50/50 on whether the shifter will be strong or not... I also feel like the guy Falco spoke to was Eren, and this could hint at Eren noticing and possibly trying to indoctrinate Falco? and he was possibly watching Reiner talk to the kids? That was probably Pieck though. Curious how Pieck's father was shown but not mother, he also didn't look like he was from the oriental clan maybe we have another Mikasa on our hands (half Ackerman/Oriental clan) that would be cool, maybe a little bit fanservicey tho.

I like that the focus is on world building right now

I’m just so excited to see what’s coming next

It was friggin awesome but I’m curious on who fell off the roof 🤔

Who is the guy who jumped and died ? :(

Tel Aviv 2019: Straight outta Romania to Eurovision with an edgy plea for a return of special someone

youtube

To be honest, I wasn’t that on board with Selecția Națională 2019, like, at all. I get that scandals happened and three songs withdrew from the comp. at various stages due to various reasons, but Romania is just Romania to me somehow. Well there were a few overall gems (some of them out of the finals too), but I just couldn’t be bothered to waste my Sunday evenings on a single broadcast of it. Plus, I was never that swayed by the two big fanwanks from here anyway, so I’m glad they flopped lol.

But maaaan did I have a bone to pick with the people reacting to it. Especially towards the Wiwi jurors. Look, there’s such a thing called as “song growing on you” and “performance elevating the song”, as well as the one that goes “getting over it”. Surely these aren’t make belief concepts of life, hmm? I’m not one of those people who prefer a song more or less thanks to its performance, but there are some good ones that occasionally change my opinion on a song, especially a ‘boring’ one! And thanks to those terrible people, some of Wiwibloggs videos were unfairly attacked with dislikes, and mind you, not only on the Romanian NF interviews that don’t have the current Romanian subject of choice, no - both first-reaction-after-qualifying-to-A-Dal-2019-final interviews (that were of these two) too. And it’s not even the first time a televote winner doesn’t win the NF so you should have SHUT. THE FUCK. UP. (- Penn Jilette) Clear? (:

(lol this is all directed to the people from like three months ago, obviously now that the writeup is late the drama has cooled down A LOT, especially in the light of Ukraine’s events and the actual dust of this Euroseason where everyone made amends with everything, but I can’t help but keep what I thought of this initially because I just wanted to write something for Romania as I didn’t have anything else to say until I remembered the drama so)

So here’s that one controversial subject that unexpectedly slayed the poor man’s “Fuego” and that one homophobic teen by hitting it hard by an extremely unbalanced jury vote (and 24 points to it coming from that core Wiwibloggs duo, no less) and her on-stage couch possessing - the half-local half-Canadian little to no known artiste, Ester Peony, who conquered all in her homeland “On a Sunday”, as her songtitle says (haha bad puns whoop.) Is it any more mesmerizing over the two fanwank fanflops, or is it, just like Wiwi said at first, ‘boring’? Hmm...

It starts of bluesy, with the Western-movie-sounding-pop guitar twangs accompanying the sound, and Ester begins reminiscing her love that left her on a Sunday of September, later followed by snap percussion. And deep inside she wants that person to come back “to [her], to [her], to [he-eeee-eeee-er], eh, eh, eh, eh”. She begs and pleads for the return for her loved one, as I believe the absence deeply upsets her (smoke from the ashtray, everything’s so cold an gray, loving is a hard price to pay) and eats her up from the inside to a degree. I never had someone to leave me like that on a whatever the day was, but I feel for Ester’s song’s protagoniste.

Here are some interesting things I find in this song: its progressive intensity; the decision of putting a 3rd verse up in the place of the bridge; right after some additional “eh eh eh eh” after the chorus (bridges are usually of completely different vocal line ways); cool voice of the singer’s; the strings; the beat... and the fact that it’s described as “electro-pop”. Pop I might get, in fact it sometimes reminds me of those older Billboard chart topper songs from mid-00s por so, or that it could have been one of those kind of songs. You needed just to give it to a popstar relevant of the time and voilà - a hit! Electro... not quite sure on this one. Maybe the bass that occurs in the 2nd and 3rd verses indicates something on it but that’s all.

And man do I hate to say this but the song's attitude is something that makes me wanna scream sometimes. It occasionally happens when I stop feeling so happy clappy for a song a few listens later because I just don't feel like caring about it anymore and that it starts making me feel some sort of a soulache because I trusted it in the first place. Kinda like "Funny Girl", Latvia 2018: I actually didn't mind it at first but its desperation got on my nerves a whole lot that I got completely irritated. "On a Sunday" has enough elements that I like to keep the irritation feeling at bay, but I doubt that even they will not make me want to smash a chair everytime I hear that chorus again... you think you can suppress your smugness overtime, song? Think again about it later

Oh and there's a supposed revamp, I doubt I would be able to feel any better about that song that way, as long as my mind just automatically recognizes Ester's singing as "whining" for some reason. It probably will make me feel less worse if I see a stage show similar to the absurd mess one from the NF where shit happens and Ester's just chilling on a chair. Game of Loans? Student loans? It was random but I definitely appreciated the scarlet madness all surrounding it. I hope to maybe see something similar in Tel Aviv - edgy imagery, why not. Bring on the candles and the ravens.

To summarize, I don’t think it’s a bad song at all. It’s daring, it’s badass, it's kickass, it comes right at you, grabs you in and you adapt to it however you can be able to. However...

Approval factor: I still have mixed feelings about passing it off as something approvable, but objectively I would like to do so. Good for you to try something different, Romania.

Follow-up factor: Anything at least half-decent is a fine follow-up after The Humans’s mediocrisms (I’m helping the dictionary to have more words, one construction at a time!). I liked the Humans more though and Ester... sort of? But in general context, Ester’s a fantastic successor.

Qualification factor: Somehow this did not sound like a definite Eurovision qualifier to me, so at one point I thought it would be just missing out... but it’s a complete effing borderline of a song. At one point it sounds good enough for a filler qualifier, at another it’s just not qualifying somehow. We’ll see how she rehearses it up in two days, though.

NATIONAL FINAL BONUS

I think there’s nothing more I can say about Selecția Națională (refered to as SN from this point onwards) than I already said in the intro, so let’s get to the moments, shall we? ;)

• So what else do I have to say about the fanwank-esses that hasn’t been said? Well, on one hand you have an Amazon-jungle-tribal version of “Fuego”, “Army of Love”, performed by Bella Santiago (who had one of my favourite SN entries last year lmao), who went all out with body paint and wild choreo and a rap bridge in Tagalog (one of Bella’s native languages) to make it all sound slightly different than “Fuego”, but still, that pre-chorus just feels like a pitched-down “Fuego” from a B minor to a G flat minor, with the same acoustics and the beat, and the drop is some limp-ass Amazon flutery magic. On the other hand you have a 16 year old Laura Bretan with an poperatic ode to her “Dear Father” which was praised for her insanely good vocal skills (I forgot what’s that called... an alto? soprano? mezzo-soprano? sorry I know a lot about music but not a lot about those ranges) more than the song itself... there’s a big problem about Laura though as people found out that she does not believe and/or condone a marriage between same-sex people. For Eurofans that’s a major red flag as as of lately Eurovision is very LGBTQ+ friendly and having had Laura next to people like Bilal or Mahmood would have probably been concerning if she knew of them having had boyfriends... Like I said, neither of those are special. Imo people loved Bella’s song because of the “Fuego” vibe and people loved Laura’s song because of her voice combined with her age. I said what I said. (Oh and there was a missed opportunity for Il Volo and Laura to reunite this year in Eurovision had they only been chosen in their NFs.)

• Screw these gals, now here come on the real faves of mine - another rock band, obviously, and that’s Trooper. No but for real, could at least ANY country have sent a rock song this year? It could have even been San Marino for all I cared but this year is so MoR without a rock entry... Trooper’s “Destin” sounds like something coming out from an epic fable about legendary heroes fighting for their glory of the nation by slaying goblins with wearing medieval costumes (with a sleeveless top and metal armor for the chest), bearing their long hair and looking strong and hunky. Lai-lai-la-la-la-lai!

youtube

• Now what were the other competing entries I liked? There were quite a few like the folk bop titled “D A I N A” and sung by Letiția Moisescu and Sensibil Balkan, then Teodora Dinu’s captivating pop tune “Skyscraper” and a really catchy non-qualifier entry by a band Steam, named “The Way It Goes”... no really Romania, why’d you let that flop... and why did you also let 2 Gents flop... and moreso importantly WHY DID YOU LET THE FOUR FLOP??? That’s like the best football-anthem-esque song I’ve heard in a while... such a shame it didn’t appear on the national selection’s final. Oh well. Poor those 4 young souls.

youtube

• Now what were those 3 (actually 4) withdrawals? First one was concerning the first ever Romanian representative Dan Bittman and his own problems so he couldn’t return to a NF and be one of the potential returning artists to Eurovision. Then there was this Australian-Romanian chick named Xonia who withdrew for seemingly no reason, all last minute. There was one more withdrawal from a semi-regular SN participant Xandra too, as well citing unknown reasons. And then there’s Mihai (or as he likes calling himself nowadays, M I H A I) who once again wanted to return to Eurovision (no wonder his Eurovision 2006 song was called “Tornero” lol) with an entry, and this one is called “Baya”. And then he went on an epic quest of flopping - firstly by withdrawing his song last minute from SN claiming that it’s corrupted, then considering to return as a wildcard, then thinking on to latching on to Eurofest in Belarus, but gotten sick last minute and therefore perma-cancelled his NFs journey this year entirely by not appearing on the Eurofest auditions. <3 Not to mention he’s a bit of a creep by subjecting people to his nude pictures with just him in his underwear. dude you’re almost 40, stop doing that to the kids. you’re not even a “daddy”. just look how alien you look on your song’s thumbnail:

youtube

• Netta continues her guest appearances on various NFs, such as in UK and in Spain (in spirit, as it was just the Triunfitos singing “Toy” at the beginning of the ESC OT Gala). This one even had her singing her newest song “Bassa Sababa” alongside “Toy”. Oh and there also was one of the Festivali i Këngës 56 alums coming by, Inis Neziri, to perform something for Romania after having won a music competition in Romania, and here’s her performance. But did she even have anything interesting in her backdrop as this?

We know you did Netta sweetie but do you honestly need to reminds us? I did not see Eleni doing shit like this and I don’t want you to do the same. Well if anything I am glad Netta only gracefully performed “Toy” on EYD 2019 (which I missed in my “National Final bonus” section for the UK’s review (as well as them reminiscing Eurovision’s best moments) but frankly I don’t think you cared anymore about it when you learned I was gonna write so many long-ass paragraphs, so yeah)...

• So what was the exact thing again that made everyone such bitter Betties? Well, everyone foresaw Bella and Laura battling it out in this NF, having succesfully qualified together. They even did well in the televote. But then the jury vote happened, and it included the God-forbidden Wiwibloggs duo voting separately and usualy picking all the similar favourites based on performances. They were very pleased with Ester Peony’s on-stage chair prop and her dramatic mess so they gave her their 12s. INDIVIDUALLY. And that’s one of things that pushed Ester higher for the win, despite only having 3 points from the televote lol. But the worst part about it is their opinions: they have praised “Dear Father” so much for mostly the same reasons others praised it so much as well, and were stunned. A what they thought of Ester’s song? That it’s boring. And their mindset switched when voting on this NF, with 12ing Ester and only giving a few feeble points to Laura. That’s where the backlash ensued - not when Emmelie de Forest (yep she was in the jury too) did not give any points to Bella Santiago’s song - just for that notion alone. Maybe it was because of a REASON. Laura’s song in the end is just an uninteresting pop ballad with some additional vocal exercising (too flawless that you even tire from flawlessness), Ester at least brought something to liven up her song, and maybe Wiwis changed their opinion accordingly by not being enthused by Laura anymore! And what’s the problem with that, eh eh eh?.. oh right, y’all accusing Wiwibloggs having rated Laura down because she’s a homophobe. Real friggen’ obviously because of that, you guys. NOT. Grow a brain a bit, will ya. (and even a contestant named Linda Teodosiu was pissed about Wiwibloggs not giving her enough points lmao... her song was a typical ”rent a NF songwriter” spiel so she has no effin’ reason to be mad her ‘originality’ wasn’t awarded lol.)

Worth noting that one of the other reasons people were mad that the juryvote points overpowered the televote big time (like 7 juror votes against 1 set of televotes - inequal) and therefore did not even listen to what they had to say (again, Ester had 3 freaking televote points lol). It’s a thing y’all should get used to - juries overrating an act one way or the other, against the televote’s will. It’s a given nowadays, remember. I know y'all Romanians wanted to scream "ESTER IS NOT OUR WINNER WE HAVEN'T DECIDED HER WE WANT BELLA/LAURA!!!" but that's the truth with the juries.

And thankfully, that is, what I think, all you need to remember from the SN headache this year. Fortunately it’s much smaller than the last year’s headache that, aside from 60 songs in total for 5 semis (!!!), also had a very strictly eliminative system that had 3 qualifiers each from a semi decided by juries ONLY (geez not even A Dal does that!), only to soften things up by having everyone fall down on televote’s hands only during the final. And then the final had the drama on its own. But if I reminisced it all on here, we’d be taking more than just all day, so it’s best that I stop this here and now, for all of ya who are already tired of all this waffle.

Good luck to Ester! and may all of your fans see you performing on a Saturday :)

Imperfectly Perfect (Castiel X Reader)

Summary: Little known to Sam and Dean, Castiel wasn’t completely unsuccessful when it came to romance during his time as a human. In fact, Cas left behind a lover- a pregnant lover. That would be you, but the boys don’t know that. When Castiel left without warning, you were left to give birth to your baby girl and take care of her while also struggling with the idea of what might’ve happened to Cas. Somehow, the angels find out about your daughter and, though she doesn’t show any sign of being a Nephilim, they don’t plan on taking any chances.

Requested by LunaZee (AO3): May i request a cassie is the baby daddy. When he went human and had to go , without dean knowing rreader (fem) became preggers, born little girl, is about to be attacked bc cas and her are not angelic, when cas gets jucied up so does the little girl when he comes back? Pleasee if its confusing lmk. Lol i got really in to it

Key: (Y/N) - your name

Warnings: Cursing, pregnancy, some violence, minor and self-inflicted injury, slight angst, fluffy ending

Note: i know this is a terrible time to upload but i won’t have internet for 5 more days so i wanted to get this done as well as put it on my masterlist. I rewrote it at one point cuz i realised i read your request wrong. I hope this is okay. Thanks for your request!! <3 i’m gonna go pass out now

Dropping everything and getting ready to drive across the country wasn’t necessarily your plan for this Saturday morning. Then again, this all happened very suddenly. Angels always tend to show up without warning, especially when you’re the one they’re hunting down. Well, you’re not exactly the one they’re hunting, but the one they are hunting is cuddled up in your arms.

See, your nearly 1-year-old daughter isn’t normal.

Your boyfriend, Castiel, is an angel, which makes your daughter a Nephilim, one of the most powerful beings in existence. Legend has it, a Nephilim eventually becomes more powerful than the angel that sired them, meaning that your little girl is going to be a handful someday as if she wasn’t one already.

When Cas lost his grace, you were the first to know. You begged him to come back to the bunker, to be safe, but, of course, things were more complicated than that. When he did finally come back, Dean looked uneasy and you couldn’t understand why.

One morning you woke up to an apologetic note and no Castiel. He didn’t tell you why he left. The note was okay, but you really wished he had at least said goodbye. Maybe you could’ve moved on.

Then again, little Gabrielle came along anyway. A week after he left, you found out you were pregnant, which was awkward to say the least. Sam and Dean had no idea and you wanted to keep it that way. So, you ran. It was better safe than sorry. Maybe you could raise Gabi somewhat normally.

At first, you were looking for Cas, but then you realised that everybody was, including angels. Looking for him would just make it easier for you to be found, so you gave up, even though it hurt you to do so.

You’ve managed so far, for the year plus nine months that you’ve had your little girl. You love her more than anything and couldn’t imagine a world without her, which is exactly why you’re dropping everything and running.

Somehow, though you don’t know exactly how, some angels found out about Gabi. They obviously think she’s a super-powered Nephilim and want her dead. Contrary to their plans, you don’t intend to give her up. You’ll do everything in your power to protect your little girl and that includes facing an army of Heaven’s most high.

So that’s where you find yourself, rushing from your house with your one-year-old in your arms, wiggling and whining. You do your best to quickly put her in her car seat, loading in your hastily packed bags that you managed to muster up on such short notice.

When you go to turn around to grab a few more things in the house, two men and two women in suits await. You feel your heart drop in your chest as you see the silvery blades they carry.

However, you have a backup plan.

Using a pocket knife, you slice open your palm out of sight and begin to discreetly draw a symbol on the inside of the car door, one that Castiel and the boys taught you for if you were ever in trouble. Well, this is definitely trouble.

“(Y/N) (L/N),” One of the angels speaks.

You frown and continue to paint in your own blood, refraining from flinching in pain and giving yourself away. “Some random douchebag.”

“Give us the child,” Another says, “And maybe we’ll spare you.”

“Over my dead body,” You hiss in reply, to which the same angel steps forward.

He frowns and sighs, “Then so be it.”

The angel flips his blade in his hand skillfully, approaching you with caution. You rush to grab an angel blade, but you know it won’t do much good when it’s about six against one, so you keep drawing the sigil.

One of his companions unexpectedly throws her arm in front of him to stop him in his tracks. “Wait,” She says, “We need proof that she’s a Nephilim.”

“Proof?” The leader scoffs, “She’s Castiel’s child.”

“He might’ve been human at the time,” The female angel reminds him roughly.

“Just another reason for us to kill her.”

All of a sudden, the ground begins to rumble beneath your feet, making you stumble. The angels seem just as perturbed and taken aback by the shaking of the earth, as half of them nearly fall over. Gabi starts to wail and you go to comfort her, but then something insane happens.

A blinding light forms around your one-year-old daughter, causing you to have to look away. It surrounds her and the shaking of the ground seems to come right from her.

“There’s your proof!” The leader of the angel squad shouts as they all look away.

Immediately, your heart sinks. What if Gabi is a Nephilim? This sigil will send her away, too, won’t it? So, you get your wits about you, slam the door shut, and leap into the front seat, starting the car while the angels are preoccupied with the light. So far, so decent, you suppose, though it could be better. The only thing you have left to do is drive as fast as you can and hope the boys are home.

Knocking on the door to the bunker with Gabi in your arms, you start to feel a pit of dread in your stomach. For one thing, Sam and Dean are going to kill you and, for another, who knows what’s happened to Cas in the year since he left. Is he even alive?

Much to your slightly uncomfortable surprise, it isn’t a Winchester who answers the door. Instead, it’s a redhead you know well.

“(Y/N)? Holy-” Charlie gasps, tucking her gun away. Then, she pauses and glances at Gabi, who giggles innocently. “Is that a...baby?”

“Uh, yeah…” You clear your throat, “This is Gabi. It’s kind of a long story. Are the guys here?”

“Yeah, they’re just inside,” Charlie opens the door wider to let you and Gabi inside.

You thank her quietly and start down the stairs into the main room of the bunker, knowing this will be an interesting conversation. Though you know Charlie hasn’t met Cas, at least as far as you know, you hope things have changed in that area since you’ve been gone and that ‘the guys’ includes him, too. When you get to the bottom of the stairs, you find three men staring at you, awestruck and ridiculously happy, which makes your heart leap.

“Sam, Dean,” You catch sight of a pair of blue eyes and it takes everything in you not to melt into a puddle. “Cas…” You say quietly, trying to find the words.

You want to apologise, maybe, or maybe chew him out for leaving in the first place. There’s nothing you can say to change anything or to explain all that’s happened, but, somehow, he gets it all with the way you say his name.

“(Y/N), I-” Cas steps forward, also looking like there are a million things he needs to say. However, his gaze drifts to Gabi and his eyes are suddenly wide. Then, he looks back up at you. “She- is she-?”

“Dada!” Gabi cries at the perfect moment, reaching her arms out toward her dad.

Castiel looks shell-shocked by her declaration and, for a second, looks like he could pass out. He looks between you and the baby, hoping for you to take the lead on this awkward conversation.

“She, uh,” you stutter, “Her name’s Gabrielle. You know, for, uh, your brother. You talk about him a lot.”

You never met Gabriel, but Cas, Sam, and Dean gave you a whole lot of stories to work with. Castiel always told you how important Gabe was to him, how he treated him differently than the other angels. Gabriel always believed in him and you wanted Gabi to look at her father with the same kind of hope and faith in her eyes.

“I…” Cas still has no idea what to say, but he looks completely taken aback by the gesture. He looks over Gabi again, “She’s...a Nephilim?”

“Yeah, I was- I was confused, too,” You say, glad this conversation is speeding up a bit. You want to hug Cas and hold him like you did before. You want to be close to him again, but you understand that it’s been over a year and this is difficult for him to swallow. “I didn’t think she was one, but angels attacked us today and there was this big flash of light and- I dunno-”

“Today?” Castiel’s eyes are wide and he exhales sharply, “When I got my grace back, she must’ve...I’m not sure, but something happened.”

There’s an awkward pause before you hold out Gabi, “Do you- do you wanna hold her?”

Cas blinks a few times, unsure, before he steps forward and takes Gabi, who giggles and babbles incoherently. She hugs her dad tight and takes the opportunity to let her little hands wander all over his face as if getting to know him in her own special way.

After a second of staring into blue eyes as bright as his own, Cas grins. “Hello,” he coos. Gabi gurgles something back, making him smile wider. He looks at you and, almost choking up, whispers, “I love her.”

In tears at the sight of your angelic- literally- boyfriend meeting his daughter for the first time, you manage a little laugh before Cas draws you in for a hug, kissing you on your forehead and then your lips. Gabi looks a little concerned at your tears and whimpers for you, but you reassure her that you’re okay.

“I love her and I love you very much,” Cas repeats, holding you both tighter, “I should never have left. I’m sorry.”

“I’m sorry I left, too,” You reply, “I should- I should’ve tried to tell you, at least.”

“Well, you’re both a bunch of sorry idiots,” Dean huffs from the sidelines, though he definitely can’t wipe the grin off his face, “And if you didn’t have a ridiculously adorable baby, I’d kill you both.”

Rolling your eyes, you back off a little from Cas to hug both boys and then Charlie since your hands are free. You can’t help notice the woman teared up a bit from watching you and Cas, but she shakes it off swiftly.

“Sorry I left without warning,” You apologise to Sam and Dean.

Sam shakes his head before Dean can make a sarcastic comment, “It’s okay. You had to protect her.”

“Yeah,” You smile, looking over at Gabi, who’s being examined thoroughly by her curious father. He wants to make sure she’s okay after the attack. Besides, it’s a little difficult for him to comprehend that he could’ve helped create such a beautiful little person.

Even with the mistakes every party made, except for Gabi, the perfect little shit, as Dean puts it, it all turned out okay. Mistakes were made and pain was had, but you all made it there in the end. In a way, it’s so close to perfect that it’s hard to believe it was ever anything but.

Pokémon White Randomized Nuzlocke Run [Part 11]

We have made it to post-game!

Sort of!

The plot done away with, now is the time to explore the rest of the map and wrap up the entire run with one last go at the Elite Four in their final form!

Our main contestants are

still spoiler tagged!

for maximum worrying.

Let’s get marching.

Back in the room where it all began. I wonder if this beginning will also start with my friends running in unannounced and starting a battle with me. ...That would be bad, it’d better not.

...Looker. I’m gonna level with you.

I don’t wanna be a junior detective.

He’s still on the trail of Team Plasma, and has decided to assign us the task of tracking down the Seven Sages. He also gives us a Super Rod. I don’t think we could fish before this, which is kind of an odd feature for a pokemon game.

Looker’s a nut, but an endearing nut.

Ah yes, my besties.

And hey, Professor Juniper’s dad shows up to upgrade my pokedex! Half my team will no longer be without numbers!

So. Now what.

Which really means, do I let Buzz Fly me to Nimbasa or Opelucid?

I think the Nimbasa route will contain a bridge.

We’re going on the bridge.

Though before we do that, I want to check out the train area again to see if the IV person is there now that I’ve beaten the plot. I’m probably just misremembering their entire existence, but I could have sworn someone was down there.

DUDE! LOOK AT WHO’S RIGHT!

Okay okay okay we’ve got to give this a full check.

Frogger is above average, with fantastic Attack and Special Attack. Rojo is decent, with very good Special Defense. Tock is above average with very good Special Attack. Fido is above average with HP that ‘can’t be better.’ That explains a few numbers. Batman is above average with fantastic HP. Palm is above average with fantastic Speed.

Rojo, you poor, useless legendary.

You are still one of the most broken things on the team, and I love you for it.

That’s more rounded than I expected, honestly. I figured a few of them would just be terrible, and maybe one would be extraordinary, but it’s above average across the board. Which is. kind of average. Pokemon NPCs are kind people.

APTLY NAMED BRIDGE. ALSO KNOWN AS A NEW ROUTE, LET’S GO FEATHER DROPS.

The dude offering me a Magikarp to buy does not count as the first encounter. Also, I did not buy it. It is not randomized, and as we all know that means it’s awful.

That’s pretty much my reaction, word for word.

Ghetsis told them to give me the Adamant Orb. And the Lustrous Orb. And the Griseous Orb. I think those are... Diamond and Pearl’s legendary special items?

Then the ninja zoom away after telling me we’ll never meet again.

That’s one lazy way to get rid of ninja. I could have sworn I fought them once... wait, did I? That seems like something I could go back and check. Eh, whatever.

Speaking of lazy things, was Team Plasma having a giant castle ever explained? I feel like it wasn’t. I’m okay with that, I just want to know.

The inclusion of the wings you can pick up on bridges were really helpful to EV training. I don’t know how many hours I would spend biking on bridges, and frankly the answer would likely depress me, but picking up all those feather things was so useful.

Of course, I have no real use for them at the moment. I’m trying to find a pokemon in those shadows.

I found one!

Look at you, little adorable guy. Oh, girl.

Quick Ball, then faint if that doesn’t work.

Caught her!

What’s your name, though... gotta go with something musical... I dub thee Pink.

Some girl in the gateway area wants to have a Rotation Battle with me. Like a fool, I say yes, and--

Oh shit.

I was kidding when I called myself a fool, but no, yes, that classification stands. Ahahaha. Um. Okay so after this, I’m gonna. Gonna go to Opelucid instead, maybe.

I didn’t even look at Pink’s level when I caught her. It was all Quick Ball action and ignorance. Could I have been forewarned?

This is bad.

Rotation Battles in general irk me. Rotation Battles that place me at a considerable level disadvantage are. something else. Oy.

Um.

I think the Alomomola might have Water Absorb. But Frogger is the most likely to survive whatever awful thing is about to happen. So that limits me to attacking with Mud Shot or Hyper Voice until the Alomomola is downed. It’s a Normal move. It isn’t going to do much against a Steel type, and it doesn’t do much against Beheeyem either, but I think one of those probably has Levitate for their Ability.

Frogger should not be in front.

He is staying in front.

So far, none of these things are using an actual attack, which I’m grateful for.

As I say that, Alomomola uses Hydro Pump. Frogger’s still green, so. Yeah.

Frogger just keeps using Hyper Voice. He’s going to run out of PP for it. Oh well.

Next Hydro Pump gets him low enough to warrant a Hyper Potion.

Beheeyem uses Power Split. Beheeyem’s not bad and this one is a higher level, so I’m not sure how bad that is.

Good news! Nothing has Levitate, and the Klinklang is defeated!

Alomomola is also defeated!

Beheeyem is defeated!

Yikes.

That only went so well because the other trainer almost never used attacks. It was all status stuff except for Hydro Pump, which missed twice. Something would be dead if a human trainer had been guiding those move choices.

I think I’m going to go outside and check what the wild life is like. It’s possible that the huge level difference is an artificial thing with this one trainer, rather than the norm. I mean, her AI virtually never attacked me. So I’ll hold off on going to Opelucid until I get a look at what other people have.

It could also be that I am underleveled for post-game life.

One thing at a time.

Exploring time.

Oh. That guy’s a trainer. He has a level 62 Gulpin.

Okay, so I’m not comfortably leveled for this, but as long as I don’t fall into a Rotation Battle or a Triple Battle, I have items, and the exp will be worthwhile. I think I’ll keep going, with special attention paid to caution. Maybe something in the grass can help me out with some mild grinding.

I biked all the way back to a Pokemon Center.

That is how much confidence I am feeling.

Something should have a Lucky Egg, but I don’t even know if it’s safe to be here, let alone who my front runner should be.

...Fine, it’s Frogger, never mind.

I’m sorry Frogger, I have no idea why I’m so uninterested in cultivating you. I should be better about not taking you for granted and appreciate that you are the one true survivor of this squad.

It’s just you’re also level 60. So not the thing most in need of exp.

Hello possible new friend. It’s level 48, so I think it might be that the post-game sections just have a level jump for trainers. Delightful.

Quick Ball ftw, Baltoy is now Woody.

Munna’s also in this grass. I can’t help but notice these things are not great for grinding.

Trainer with a level 65 Altaria.

I think Rojo might need to try to handle it before anything more creatively unfortunate happens. Altaria’s a Special Defense pokemon, and I think has a few really great Defense-boosting stat moves. If I let it, it can sweep.

It might also be able to kill Rojo in one hit already, but.

Argh, I hate this, lol.

Rojo, go in, if something happens I’m sorry in advance.

Yeeeeeah this Altaria is doing what I thought it would and I don’t care for it. Dragon Dance plus the Cotton thing that drastically raises Defense. .I am afeared. It uses another Dragon Dance.

Oh good job Rojo. Critical hit for the save. Good job, good job.

Abomasnow is up next.

Fido, you’re up.

Fido eats it.

You know. I like this better when I’m not chronicling every single fight out of the fear of imminent death. The next trainer looks like a Fighting one, so Tock is moved to the first slot.

Are you fucking kidding me.

New plan!

We’re murdering legendaries for breakfast!

Because exp!

Side note: Air Slash has 95 accuracy. Why is it always missing.

...Oh fuck.

I hecked up. Badly. Oh fuck. no.

I thought. Tock would out-Speed. Which I would have realized was a stupid thought if I had actually spent any time thinking about Tock’s features and the fact that the Hitmontop has eight levels on him.

I thought about healing him. Those missed Air Slashes left a lot of damage.

You know what also leaves a lot of damage.

STAB Close Combat.

Stop. thinking. “oh I’m sure it will be fine.”

-cradles head in hands-

I am so sorry Tock.

Fuck, this was not supposed to happen. I shouldn’t be allowed to touch Flying pokemon. Ever. Or fight Fighting pokemon. The fact that this keeps happenings suggests some underlying stupidity.

Damn it.

This. Tock. Buddy.

ALL THOSE FUCKING SLUGMA.

FUCK I JUST REALIZED IN THE MIDDLE OF MY EMOTIONS. I DIDN’T USE TOCK AGAINST N OR GHETSIS. ALL OF THAT EV TRAINING. ALL OF IT. FOR NOTHING BUT RANDOM FIGHTS.

ALL

THOSE

SLUGMA

IT WAS A LOT OF HOURS.

I. Hell, I am so sorry Tock. I did everything wrong for your final moments. You would still be alive (assuming Close Combat wouldn’t have killed you in one hit regardless, which... I will never get to know) if I had just been more careful and less stupid. Five seconds of common sense would have put you out of harm’s way.

I am just. so sorry. This shouldn’t have happened.

You have such a sweet, innocent face and I...

I am upset?

I can’t even pick someone else for the team yet. It can wait. Nothing can really replace Tock, and I can’t act otherwise.

I can take Bandit for a walk, though. There are boulders nearby.

-eliminates Reshiram with no joy in heart-

Hell.

I think this place has more uses if you are not playing on the computer.

It has grass. That’s the important thing of the moment.

Hey little guy.

Quick Ball go, Quick Ball get.

I don’t know what to call you.

So. I’m gonna go with Tick.

FOR THE LOVE OF SOMETHING, STOP SPAMMING THE A BUTTON EQUIVALENT THROUGH CONVERSATIONS WITH PEOPLE I DID NOT WANT A TRIPLE BATTLE BECAUSE THAT IS LIKE THREE TIMES THE CHANCES OF DEATH AND I AM NOT DOING WELL WITH THE NORMAL CHANCES.

It works out thanks to the typing.

But geez self. Show some learning.

See, okay, the kid standing above her also wants a Triple Battle.

Now, what are we going to do?

Go to the Pokemon Center, and then say absolutely because my guys need exp.

I’m not a greatly intelligent human.

Not even a little.

It works out, though. Exp gained, no one dead.

New route.

This trainer has a level 68 Purugly.

I think. I really need to drop everything and grind for a little bit.

Frogger has fallen in love with the Purugly. He is also now paralyzed. After a turn of that, thankfully, he uses Hydro Pump and it hits.

Frogger.

I’m judging you a bit.

Level 68 Espeon. Followed by level 68 Lapras. Good grief I should not be in this place.

THAT ONE WAS NOT MY FAULT.

Ha. Ha. Ha.

This.

Fuck.

Uh.

So uh. There was this Future Sight Batman took. I made the executive decision that it was safer for her to be in there for it than Palm, and. I stand by that. Except then a critical hit Hydro Pump hit. And it’s a level 68 Lapras. So.

So.

You killed Boeing. By catching you, I took away your ability to kill. But I always knew you could still die. You were the terror. You were the knight.

You were Batman.

You deserved to be enshrined forever in the Hall of Fame.

But this is where we part, my friend.

Farewell.

Uh.

...4x STAB Leaf Storm.

This was meant to be the grass encounter where I caught one of them?

I was focused on that?

I did not think a level 59 Petilil could kill Frogger in one shot?

This is.

Bad?

There is also a chance the Petilil is too dangerous to live?

But I catch it, so yay?

Petilil’s new name is Battousai.

And.

This has been the longest hour of this run.

I am in so much more trouble than I was.

Frogger. You were my second pokemon.

You saved the day against the Elite Four.

You were dependable, and I never learned to depend on you.

I did not see us ending this way.

I am so sorry.

...

Hello.

Darkness my old friend.

I’ve come to cry at you again.

So uh.

Guess who. needs a new team.

Ahahaha I am in hell.

...

You know what. I. am going to take a break. This has been an excruciating hour. I don’t care for it. I don’t know what I should put on my new team. All I know is that this is very sad and I continue to be worse at this game than I thought.

So that’s great.

[next session start]

Alrighty then.

-stares blankly-

My party has Rock/Fighting, Fire, Grass/Fighting.

I, uh. Need to fill it.

With stuff.

Piglet (Spoink). You’re coming with. Buzz and Bandit will come along with HMs. I’ll see if I can hit the other routes, then figure the rest of this mess out.

Right. Lesgo.

On the comforting side, the first trainer we see has a level 65 thing too. So the side picked didn’t severely change the outcome of. things.

The first thing I see is Lairon, but I have an Aron.

-considers-

Let’s see if I can catch you.

Score, I can. I forgot the Quick Ball, but damage lined up to make it a clean catch. I’mma name you Daffy.

I think. I need to grind more than anything. My surviving team is very much at risk, and Piglet is wholly untrained. Both of those things need fixing. Hopefully it won’t involve chasing down Slugma.

To Dragonspiral and Jellicent, I guess. One step at a time.

(Bandit learned Surf, by the way. Because. Something needed to know that.)

Piglet is evolving! Form of... Grumpig!

Bodacious.

What EVs does Reshiram give? Because if it’s Special Attack...

That’s worth investigating.

Cue nothing but Baltoy. ...I also don’t know what Baltoy gives. ...Or Snorunt. Snorunt is also here. Along with Piplup.

Reshiram gives Special Attack.

I’m taking this as confirmed based on recording several levels of Piglet’s stats attacking nothing but Reshiram. A wild extra point of Special Attack appeared. That makes some things so much easier. I don’t know the exact numbers on what I’m looking for out of Piglet (I think maybe max HP, some convenient split of Special Defense, Defense, and Special Attack), but. Geez this is a relief.

Looking at the numbers though, Piglet isn’t going to be able to pack much of a punch no matter how many EVs I pour into him. I need to focus on tank power.

Maxing HP, then whatever’s left will go to Special Defense and Defense.

Only not in that order.

My memory being what it is, I’m not sure, but I think Relicanth might have Defense and Attack EVs. So I’m just here for Cloyster. I’ll down twenty, then go back to HP grinding. Simple.

Cue no Cloyster.

I should level up Bandit so I start getting better stuff with all this walking.

[one hour later]

This is still boring. I should have figured out my other replacements so I could do this all at once. At least one would have to have similar EV desires, right?

But then I’d have to figure out the other two.

My guess is it will be Yanmega and Jellicent. Fluttershy and Peanut.

But.

I want to wait. Just. Just in case.

Also, screw it, Bandit gets the other Exp. Share. I have two, I’m going to use them. I’m also going to use some PP Ups on Fido’s Flamethrower. Healing after every fifteen fights is. No.

[many hours later]

Okay. HP handled.

Sigh.

The journey continues.

[another hour (okay maybe not really)]

Yay!

I think what I want to do right now is level up what I have rather than focus on training any other new ones. I need to watch those exp bars zoom to the moon. It will sustain me in my grief/exhaustion.

Since I’m in Opelucid anyway, I’m just going to go right and hang in the grass until I’m slightly more confident in the ability of my team to not die.

Wild Pichu are not that helpful in that endeavor. Nor are Mime Jr. Granbull. You are our only hope in this arena.

...

I miss Tock [’s Shadow Ball] so much.

The fear of death is omnipresent. Too much has happened. Where once there was confidence, now there is only dread. Recovery is a faint glimmer of a dream off in the distance.

Neat. Kingdra is also here.

-tilts head-

Yeah, repeats. But still.

I wonder if anything helpful’s in the water.

Well. There’s a level 35 Surskit.

Leaning towards a hard no.

Oh wait, what am I doing. It should be all legendary murdering all the time.

It’s so frustrating, because I just keep thinking hey, I can go fight the trainers along the path for more exp! Then the rest of me remembers that I should not do that.

I don’t think I checked out the dark grass in the route I found Reshiram. I’ll check that out for a quick look. It will possibly be followed by running away as fast as humanly possible, but eh.

That’s not too bad.

...Ah. Levels 58 and 57.

Their danger levels and their exp levels sadly do not line up. Gonna stick with the Reshiram grass.

...Also gonna check what’s in the water of the route with the level 68 hellbeasts.

NO I DIDN’T REALIZE YOU TURNED AROUND.

-deep breath-

-deep scream-

Okay. Okay. It’s fine. It’ll be fine.

Level 64 Primeape, Piglet gets switched in. ..And survives a Close Combat crit.

So then, Piglet is at 23 HP thanks to two Thrashes, and now Palm is out to hopefully do away with a level 64 Scrafty. Yes, because Palm is Palm Wonderful. Last one is a level 64 Poliwrath. Palm gets a crit because Palm loves us.

Piglet learns Power Gem because I don’t have the guts to use Rest as a real strategy.

All right. Lived.

Super Rod leads to Palpitoad. That’s not a bad thing to know. Regular Surfing leads to Wigglytuff. That’s better than the Reshiram grass for leveling if it’s the only thing in the water. But then there’s Shellder.

New area!

Undella Town and Undella Bay are different places, so I must take care with Surfing for my new friend.

This is the town’s choice. I throw a Quick Ball. Metapod caught. Now if only he had a name. Hm.

You can be Crystal.

And this is the choice of the bay. Another Quick Ball is thrown. A Hoothoot is caught. Her name is Winnie.

I’m fast approaching the end of new areas. The map is almost completely lit up.

I think it might be okay to face trainers in the water, because I have Palm. So I’m going to try that, and hope I don’t soon have reason to cry like a baby again.

Level 63 Staryu.

You know, my new question is why that one girl had level 68 monstrosities.

There’s a Quagsire here that we don’t get to catch. ;-;

Oo, and Electrode. I’ve always loved Electrode. It smiles.

I have the HM for Dive now! Yay?

RUN

RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN

RUN.

-severe whimpering noises-

We are not in any way, shape, or form ready for post-game Cynthia. I have memories of grinding against her and others in this house thing, but those teams were allowed to come back after dying.

I will fight her before I fight the Elite Four. Because if I can’t beat her, I have no business facing the Elite Four again (...I think).

Okay, moved up to Route 13 because I don’t actually have anything that can learn Dive. New area. Time to see what we get.

Hmmmmmmmm. Quick Ball get.

Finneon’s new name is F9.

I can’t help but notice that other trainers don’t walk around with level 68 pokemon. I guess that means I really am exploring the entire map before I start training another pokemon. That is possibly misguided, but I really just... am not ready to finalize my final (I hope) team.

Um.

Wait, what the fuck?

I. I was typing.

WHAT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS TYPING. PALM TOOK A HEX BUT HIS HP WAS STILL GREEN AND THEN.

WHAT HAPPENED.

WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED.

It uses Hydro Pump against Piglet, so if I were to guess...

How is this still getting worse.

Palm.

Palm Wonderful.

I have no words.

I am distraught.

I will miss you so much.

I no longer have the option of being cute about this. I can’t be walking around with three pokemon in an area where I’m losing them at this rate. I guess the simple fact is that things are now high enough level to know seriously dangerous moves, and there is no truly safe option except for absurd over-leveling.

I need to select three new ones.

I have Fido, Rojo, and Piglet. Fire, Rock/Fighting, and Psychic. I can basically pick whatever I want. And as much as I hate to say it, Palm’s loss keeps me from being overstocked on Fighting. So. If I wanted...

But what do I want?

I want to stack the deck. How do I do that.

IV checker. Everything I might consider using is getting a free checkup.

It’s a sea of “above average”s. With a few “decent”s here and there.

Maybe I should try something different. Maybe I should just select the pokemon I love most. That’s the point of a Nuzlocke, right? Getting attached? In terms of Type coverage, there are things I can do, but. I don’t wanna do that. I want to pick the things I love most. If it has good odds on ending horrifically no matter what I do, I want to have as much fun as possible.

Swiper and Wagston are in. As for the last one, that remains to be seen.

If memory serves, Riolu evolves into Lucario with good happiness during the daytime. So I should start walking. He will also be given a Soothe Bell. I think I’ll spend my time leveling up what remains. Rojo can kill a million Reshiram and become a demigod in addition to a legendary.

Oh, and sportsball. Let’s go do today’s.

Baseball! Baseball is fun.

Have I been here since finishing the plot?

I have, right? There isn’t going to be a huge level jump?

This level 65 Persian staring me down says I’m a moron.

-paces-

I should not be here. I should leave. Straight away.

But Piglet is a tank. Everything I uses in battle is over 60.

This stupidity is now on record. I’m going to try to beat the baseball peeps.

This level 66 Simipour makes me miss Palm so terribly.

Wow, I should not be doing this.

And yet.

There are a lot more trainers here now.

Level 64 Conkeldurr vs level 64 Piglet. My future nightmares start this way.

Piglet is victorious, and we continue this horrible decision!

...

You know what, this is stupid. Piglet hurt himself in confusion twice, then I used a Lemonade to get him back to full health, then the Unfezant’s Sky Attack did. That.

So. This is going badly.

Piglet, I swear I’d say sorry, but I’m mostly just dwelling on how amazingly screwed I am. So. Uh.

So.

tfw I have two usable pokemon!

[Infinity War SPOILERS] What will happen with Loki

In this essay I will... ok no, jokes apart. I just watched Infinity War and, if you have seen it too and care about Loki, you will probably be very distressed about his future in the marvel universe, is he going to be resurrected in the next film? or he will stay dead forever? I will try to be as objective as I can.

I believe the movie gives 3 HINTS about Loki staying dead forever, and 3 HINTS (+1) that tell the absolutely opposite, aka. they give hope about his return. I don’t know which one will be in the end, but I’m pretty amazed at how the chances are almost a 50% yes or no.

FIRST, 3 THINGS THAT HINT HE AIN’T COMING BACK: (you can skip these if you don’t want to get depressed lol)

1- His death scene. Hate it or love it, we have to admit Loki's death scene was very well-written for Loki. He said funny things that closed a long arc (”We have a Hulk.”) he protected his brother, and he called himself an Odinson. Out of all the death scenes in the movie, Loki's death is the best written in terms of how they closed every aspect of Loki's character. He came full round, nothing was left unsaid. It would be easy to believe that Loki would return if his death had been like the guys who turned into dust (too sudden, with many things unsaid, specially with upcoming sequels for most of them.) Loki on the other hand didn’t had as much to offer in that sense as the other characters who died and still were in the middle of a personal journey.

2- "But they killed Loki at the start of the movie, that's a huge disrespect to the character so they can't end him like that." I mean, yeah, you are kinda right. I also wish he had lasted longer in the movie, but the reason they wrote it like that was to make a point, to say "Hey, remember Loki? The bad guy from Avengers? He is nothing compared to our new bad guy who kills him in seconds, so be ready, this won't be like the first Avengers, the stakes will be a lot higher." The screenwriters probably knew killing Loki so soon would be a waste of what the character could offer, but they still did it to make that point and that’s why they probably tried to make his death as "good" as possible.

3- Thanos' line: "There won't be resurrections this time." After killing Loki. Hm. Okay this one is hard and depressing and a good reason to think Loki won't come back. It's very out of place for Thanos to say that, which means that he is saying it to the audience. The big question here is, is he saying it 1. Directly to Loki fans? "He has died many times, this one is for real." Or 2. He is saying it for the movie in general. "Many characters will die from now on, so be scared because they won't resurrect." Of course, if it's the first option, it’s 100% sure Loki won't come back. If it's the second option, he still has a chance to live, which brings me to...

4 THINGS THAT HINT LOKI MAY COME BACK:

1- If Thanos' "No resurrections" line wasn't meant for Loki but for the audience, to let us know that our favourite characters aren't going to come back then... it's basically a lie. Remember when Kevin Feige said that who died in Infinity War would stay dead? Thanos basically says the same. Did Feige lie? Kinda, it’s more like a half truth. Like Okaaaay, maybe the characters stay dead in this reality/timeline, but it's obvious that during Infinity War part II the remaining characters will have to travel in time or to another reality to change the terrible fate and avoid the deaths. So, if the original Avengers change the fate and our dusty guys survive, there's a big chance that Loki and Gamora (the two characters that died in another way) are going to survive too. Why? Because if the Avengers’ plan to defeat Thanos is to go back in time and get the Infinity stones before him, they will have to take the Tesseract (There’s been [PICTURES] taken in the set of Infinity War II showing Thor and Loki in their clothes during the first Avengers movie. With the exact same wounds they had when they left with the Tesseract to Asgard, which makes me think that in Infinity War II the avengers will go to that moment and grab the tesseract. Therefore, Loki will never take the Tesseract during Thor Ragnarok and Thanos won't have any reason to attack the Asgardian spaceship -> Aka. Loki, Heimdall, Valkyrie(?) the asgardians &Co. will survive. (I know this theory is a bit trickY, I just based this on the set pictures.)

2- Before dying, Loki says: "The sun will shine on us again." to Thor. Again, this line is strangely placed and sounds like a foreshadowing, just like Thanos' "no resurrections" line. Why did Loki say that? Is it a way for the screenwriters to tell the audience "Hey, Thor will suffer a lot but don't worry, in the end he will be happy, he, his brother and the asgardians will smile again." Which actually would be a very Marvel thing to happen. The difference between Mrvel and DC is that Marvel isn’t as gritty as DC. Bad things happen, sure, but Marvel movies are way more optimistic. Thor has lost everything, and for the first time he addresses it, he even cries. Will Marvel leave him like that? Or will they give him the happy ending he deserves? Loki’s line makes me think of the second choice.

3- The fact that Loki disappears for a full minute when the Hulk fights Thanos. I’ve seen the scene many times and during that battle you can see the whole place and Loki just isn’t there. You would expect to see him next to Thor, since after he says “We have a Hulk” He literally jumps on Thor to protect him from the Hulk smash, and yet he is nowhere to be seen and that makes no sense, unless there’s a good reason and it’s explained in part II.

4- And finally, I've seen some Tom Hiddleston interviews about Infinity War, and even though he doesn't give away any spoilers, I noticed how he usually talks about how great it has been for him to work with so many new actors (aka. Most of the new Marvel cast) and I can't help but think OH?? In his only scene in Infinity War he was with Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, and Idris Elba, people whom he has already worked with in many movies. The other new cast were Thanos and the black order, who don't have a lot of screen time with Tom. Then... why does Tom insist so much about having a blast working with so many great and new actors? My theory is that in Infinity War II Loki does in fact reappear and he has a scene with the WHOLE squad, because that's the only reason Tom could be so happy to talk about that.

And there goes my two cents. To be honest, I just want Loki to come back, look at Thor calmly and say “you got your eye back.” but if he doesn’t come back i’m still happy because he got a “decent” Death. Maybe not perfect, but still good.

Nonny here again! My prompt if you got the same is Namie meeting the next gen team 7

You meant Boruto, Sarada and Mitsuki by next-gen, right? Here it is…witha SUPER aged-up Namie because I couldn’t resist writing her as a crotchety middle-agedninja dealing with children (especially bratty Boruto).

Genfic

No rating warning, brief alcohol mention

~1,300 words

Standard disclaimer: these extras are AU/closer to canon and unrelated to the Laterality continuum because it would never go this far into the series lol

“Konohamaru, you dragme away from my morning nap, you seriously betterhave something important to say.” Namie leans against the door frame, rubbing attired, lined eyes half-glaring at the young man standing on the other side—the manwho just wouldn’t quit knocking at the door until someone answered. Mostly,he’s grown into a well-mannered adult thanks to his parents, but the annoyingsides of Naruto’s persistence and stubbornnessdefinitely rubbed off on him over the years. No amount of decent child rearing could change that.

“A morning nap? That’s just—” She reaches for the door and he stops that complaint immediately. “Wait, I do! I do, I promise. You know I have a team of genin now, right?” Konohamaru holds up his hands,hoping to ease the tension, because while her glare is mean, her words hold noanimosity. Still, bothering his aunt without good reason is like poking at asleeping bijuu—he knows this from past mistakes.

“Yeah?” She crosses herarms, still giving the stink eye.

“Well—I know this issudden, but everyone else got called away. I thought it’d be a goodidea to bring in a specialist for a lesson, and, y’know…” his voice trails offas she raises an irate brow and he hurriedly gets to the point, pleading. “Look, I wouldn’task if I wasn’t desperate, okay? I’ll even buy you that liquor you like if youhelp!”

He almost flinches whenher eyes turn to the blue scarf tied around his neck and he subconsciously reachesup to tug at its edge, hoping she isn’t thinking of strangling him with it. When her handsreach out he really thinks this is it, this is his last day on earth as aliving shinobi, and being an honorary nephew won’t even save him from herwrath.

But all she does ispurse her lips and straighten the scarf until it sits just right on hisshoulders.

“…You can spar with ‘em,if you want?” he ventures, glad to be spared, cheeks coloring just slightly fromall the embarrassing mother-hen-like fussing. Better than getting kicked into thestreet. But really, the offer is a crapshoot, because getting her to interact with anyonethese days is like pulling teeth.

“Forget the liquor,”she grumbles, setting her hands on her hips. ��I’ll do it as a favor, I guess.”

The mention of sparringseems to catch her interest well enough.

“Konohamaru-sensei’sweirdly late today,” Sarada comments, turning to the two teammates sitting onthe grass and leaning against a wooden training log, respectively.

“Not really a problem,”Boruto shrugs, too engrossed in his handheld gaming device to see the exasperatedlook she sends his way. He curses under his breath when the level boss gets thebetter of him and a series of beeps signal gameover. He sticks his tongue out and glances across the field where Sarada’slooking. “Hey, no, there he is!” He freezes. “Wait—who’s that with ‘im? That’snot…is it?” He jumps to his feet andsquints as they come into view.

“He did say he’d bebringing a specialist in today. Do you know them, Boruto?” Mitsuki asks, pushingaway from the log and approaching his teammates, shielding his eyes from thesun as he watches the two approaching figures. No—three. There’s a dog loping alongat their side, too.

Boruto doesn’t answer,and groans under his breath instead.

Namikaze Namie—better knownas his unsociable hermit of a great aunt who’s only ever been to maybe two family celebrations and doesn’t do much to prove that his dad’s side of the familyis anything but distant—follows behindKonohamaru, and she doesn’t look any more pleased to be here than he is to seeher here.

When they stop, she crosses her arms, and it’s clear to see she hasno ninja equipment on her person whatsoever. An easy thing to tell because allshe’s wearing is a pair of old grey sweatpants and a tank top. Why even bother, then.

“Oh, it’s you. I thought you didn’t do this kindof thing anymore?” Boruto cuts in with a frown, before Konohamaru even has the chance tointroduce the guest. She turns to him, and narrows her eyes ever-so-slightlybefore grinning. She doesn’t speak just yet, even as Sarada elbows him in theside and gripes at him for his rude greeting and tone.

“Soyou do know her,” Mitsuki comments, afaint smile on his face.

“Yeah,she’s my great aunt,” he huffs out, crossing his arms in a similar way, not breaking the gaze.

“‘Great Aunt?’ Way to make me feel old,Boruto.” Despite the faux-wounded tone of voice, her lips are still set in a wrygrin.

Boruto narrows his eyes.“Whatever. You do look like an oldbum. Why aren’t you in uniform? Put some effort into this, at least, ‘ttebasa.”

“What,you expect me to show up in my Sunday best for a spar? Gimme a break.”

“You—”

Konohamaru clears histhroat and quickly intervenes, but not without some amusement. It isn’t oftensomeone can match Boruto’s attitude. At this rate, though, it might just fan theflames. “Now, now. Sarada, Mitsuki, this is Namie. She’s here to showcase aspecially-developed jutsu since we’ve been studying the creation of newtechniques.”

“What kind of jutsu?”Sarada asks, blinking slowly behind her glasses, eyes shrewd. A realizationhits her. “Actually, you’re not justrelated to the Seventh, you—”

“Who cares? Just show it already,” Boruto interruptswith a scoff. He uncrosses his arms and sizes her up, wondering just what kindof special jutsu his aunt created. None he’s heard of, for sure. Can’t be tooimpressive—no matter who she is.

Mitsuki looks betweenthem, slightly apologetic as Sarada fumes. “Wait, I’d like to hear this, too.”

“No—I agree. Let’s justget into this.” Namie turns to Konohamaru. “Mind if I take over from here?” Itisn’t really a request.

“Ah…no. Go ahead.” Reluctantly,he takes a few steps back, careful to step over the big brown dog snoozing inthe grass, giving the lesson over to her. Watching from the sidelines won’t beso bad. Hopefully.

“Alright.” The grindrops from her face as she turns back to the three genin who return the starewith varying degrees of wariness. “You three come at me with your best shot. Don’thold back.”

“Just like that?”Sarada’s eyes widen, and she and Mitsuki remain still, caught off guard by therequest, but they’re the only ones.

Boruto breaks into an immediate lunge, hands forming the seals for the Shadow Clone jutsu, duplicatinghimself threefold.

He and the group ofclones close in with echoing yells—some throwing kicks, some striking with kunai.

But none make contact.

Soles of sandalscollide with a shimmery yellow-gold surface radiating from Namie’s palm. Kunairicochet off. Nothing breaks through, and the collision shocks the clones intoevaporating, leaving nothing but smoke behind. And Boruto, lingering in the haze. His foot remains planted against the chakra shield—her hand shoots out to snag him bythe ankle.

Before she can get a firm grip,he substitutes away and she’s left with a wooden stump at her feet. She kicks it aside as her eyes follow his retreat.

“Well, you’re fast,” she praises,and if he hears, he doesn’t show it—only crouches a safe distance away, eyeswide. He doesn’t move to attack again.

“…You’re the creator ofthe Shining Golden Chakra Shield, also known as Aura. And you gained quite abit of fame during the Third and Fourth Shinobi Wars!” Sarada completes herearlier sentence, hands clutched in front of her chest as she takes a stepforward, eyes filled with admiration.

“Ah, yeah…been a while since I’ve heard that,” Namie nods, lowering her hand, dispersing her chakra shield. She rubsat her shoulder for a moment before taking a deep breath. “Anyway, what about you two? Mitsuki, Sarada, right? How ‘bout you threemake a joint effort this time? Land a hit on me and I’ll tell you the specificsof this technique.” The grin returns. “Ifyou think you can.”

Both look back toBoruto, who breaks out of his daze and walks up to join them. The three exchangea nod and charge in with determined smiles.

FE: Birthright Randomised Chapters 5 and 6

(aka ‘Felicia’s throwing shade at everyone, please stop her’)

Time to get into Birthright and hopefully not break the gaaaaaame >:3

Time to get right into it with a cutscene with me mum talking about a fancy chair and all that yadda yadda convenient Conquest plot point all that stuff to regain true form and mind and stuffffffff

ayy it’s Ryoma! :D

..... oh my Farore

He’s a butler, oK THEN- At least it.... looks like a butler I can’t really tell- Yeah he’s a butler what were the chances, right?

it’s so weird that he’s not calling Corrin his sister lmao;;;;

ayyy there are the royal sibliings! (including Felicia)

oh man are u ready to see Felicia being salty to Corrin? I’m not-

Takumi as Hinoka is great b/c of how much nicer he is to Corrin now ahahahh Oh hey! Kagero’s there too!

holy hylia

The salt begins >:3cccccc

She’s so cute I’mma Die aahhhh

There they all gooooo

.... ya know what? I’m perfectly ok with Butler!Ryoma then again I just love formal attire like tailcoats also please stop yelling Ryoma, use ur inside voice

off to the castle tooowwwwnn! with so many people wearing kitsune masks and that woman with her potatoooes We’re gonna see a lot of Kagero in this randomiser, so that’s super neat

I could get used to it, I like Kagero :D oh man here comes Felicia with that shade again

Ya know, Felicia; your voiceline of ‘It’s my pleasure’ really begs to differ about you not trusting me

Felicia! Don’t be mean to Kagero! >:c

Well gee, thanks Felicia o<o I’m sorry I’m taking so many pictures of Felicia’s dialogue because it’s just so great honestly her as Takumi is just so out of character but in a way that I love-

Yeah, she should go spend some time with the Ice Tribe and learn to chill like Flora :’D I love these Hoshidan siblings ashdauihdiausd

cutsceeeeeeene mysterious hooded person is lurkin’ and schemin’ exploooosioooooon

Nooo, mum! oAo ok but the voice acting is pretty darn good in this cutscene, just saying-

Dragon time! >:D

Hey, Felicia; Flora’s back in Nohr so she can’t hear ya-

time to properly start the chapter! >:D ah yeah, Wyrmslayers for the obligatory bonus damage tutoriaaaals

hey we can see Mozu and Kagero’s stats now!

Let’s start with Mozu

ok so she’s an Apothecary, pretty neat her personal skill is Countercurse which is actually pretty neat, it makes an attacker who uses magic against Mozu suffer half the damage they dealt :V of course that’s only useful with magic users, who would probably go for other units who can’t retaliate or smth ANYWAY C rank in bows :o pretty sweeeeet base stats are pretty low (she is level one tho) but she’s got a lot of strength :V I’ve never really used Apothecary units much, since the only one you can get without capturing one is Midori hahah;; (growth rates: HP - 40, Str - 50, Mag - 55, Skill - 20, Spd - 50, Lck - 35, Def - 30, Res - 30, basically really darn mcfreaking good)

anyway let’s have a look at Kagero!

ooOOOoo Hunter’s Knife :o that’ll be usefuuuul

She has Playthings as a personal, which means adjacent enemies take 5 hp damage at the start of the Player Phase; niiiice (it could be useful when paired with Jakob’s Pragmatic too :o) and she also has Wary Fighter, preventing either side from performing followups :V not... all that great b/c she has amazing speed and would double most people I’d think but we can remove it later if need be also YO LOOK AT HER SKILL AND SPEED WOW-- she has pretty bad strength.... and a lot of other stats aren’t great either, but that’s ok! :O I’m beginning to think that C rank in weapons isn’t randomised or smth-- (growth rates: HP - 40, Str - 60, Mag - 25, Skill - 15, Spd - 25, Lck - 30, Def - 55, Res - 60)

aaanyway let’s goooo

Azura still showing up as a Swordmaster lol I’m gonna keep everyone together because there still isn’t any healers, only 6 vulneraries between us and I don’t think Corrin can trade when she’s a Feral Dragon heck

wait nvm, we can still trade with her

Kagero, you aren’t a songstress; you can’t sing to let people move again- also Saizo isn’t here yet ausdaiusdauh

Oh man, Azura’s not gonna take shit from anyone .... kick their ass, Azura >:V both of them missed, ok

level up for Corrin!

Pretty decent :V

still misses all around from Azura and the hooded persooon

and a level up for Rinkaaaah (who kicked one of the Mercenaries’ asses w/ Mozu)

pretty deceeeent, I wonder what her growths are :V

anyway, we gooooo

ooh hey a dodge from Azura and she managed to hit the hooded person :D and again! :D ohh, nvm, they’ve hit her now misses all round again

...Seal Defence from Rinkah is really good when following up with Kagero because of her shit strength--

ok but have I mentioned I love Spear Fighters? because I do, one reason being that their animations are cool :V

yikes, there goes Azura oAo she got quite a good bit of the mystery person’s health down tho (i keep calling them mysterious person b/c spoilers for Revelation, if memory serves, so uhh.... yeah)

yIKES no one seems to be able to hit this guy (0 damage AND low hits rates aihifiudfsudh) except for Corrin uahfiuhds but I wanted to give it to another person to get them more exp >:V fine then

welp, they dead .... as much as they can be, at least lMAO

more cutsceeenes oh hey, Azura; I thought you had retreated :V aaaand i’m back to being a hooman and ANOTHER CUTSCENE this time the lowkey disturbing cutscene hey at least they didn’t show Sumeragi probably getting his throat slit open with that huge ass axe o<o;;;;;

Well, you’re awfully forgiving, aren’t you Kagero? :V

aaaand erryone’s ded

Azura being all ‘oh yeah, this is what the Nohri-asses do, so uhh.... yeah King Ganon- GARON set up the whole thing lmao’ AZURA, SAYING GARON MASTERMINDED THE WHOLE THING IS NO LAUGHING MATTER--

oh boi here comes Felicia I’msorry ;;A;;

I said I’m SORR Y (Felicia saying Takumi’s lines are pure gold, tbh)

Leave Kagero alo n e--

Yeah, you said it, Takumi :’’D i’m taking so many pictures of this cutscene lol;; here comes Ryomaaaaa

it’s so weird seeing him call Mikoto ‘Queen Mikoto’ and not ‘Mother’ lol

oh yeah, we need another sword after we lost Ganglari when it... exploded :’D so time to get the Yato! :D (or as I like to call it; ‘The Chainsaw’ b/c of the Omega Yato-) it would have been cool if all of the royal siblings had special weapons, tbh; like why did they brothers get the special treatment? >:V

Oh hey! I think Felicia’s a Sky Knight! So she has a chance of wealing the Fujin Yumi as a Kinshi Knight! :U

dang it, Felicia--

oh yeah, Corrin’s just not paying attention lmao;;;

welp, here comes the Nohrians oh man

I... I don’t even have anything to say to this it’s just Azura couldn’t have been randomised into a better person-

ah yeah, obligatory cutscene to give Corrin the dragonstone yadda yadda lol, Kagero did the animation of catching the Yato, except now it’s a Dragonstone the sound played and everything hahah

Time for Chapter 6, awwww yeeeaaaahh! >:3c

ah yes, vanilla Nohrians ‘why are you invading hoshido bro???’ all that stuff

If Takumi actually accepted you being his sibling in the early game lol

cutsceeeeeeene that makes little sense out of conteeeeext because ryoma, hinoka and sakura aren’t actually supposed to be heeeeeere

time to choose!

hah, there’s absolutely no message for saying that there is no Conquest data on the system I never want to play Conquest again anyway lol-

time to DEFEND HOSHIDO AND MY HOSHIBROS

hah, lyrics for the song ayyy //finger guns

oh yeah, Xander throwing a temper tantrum and all that ‘And Father will forgive you, I know it.’ yeah, actually he wants me to Suffer if I go there, bruh XANDER GDI YOU KNOW THAT HE’S MESSED UP MAN, YOU’VE NOTICED THE CHANGE IN HIM- ya said that your siblings are at least just as important as the people of Nohr >:V

well, Corrin’s Dead Here comes Azuraaaaa

And boi is she Ready to Fite

It seems like none of the Hoshibros have any chill lol and she had a fitting voiceline of ‘I’m gonna BREAK you!’ as well holy heck

time to start the chapter- AYYY it’s Kaze! :D

.... Felicia you had a 90% chance to hit that guy HOW COULD YOU MISS, YOU HAD THE FUJIN YUMI--

anyway, level up for Jakob instead

auhfiudhfsdud I should be happy given his poor HP and Skill growths tho ayyy he learned Nobility >:D

rest in pieces, Bohrther

Ayyy Kagero levelled up!

I’ll look at her growth rates after and add them in when I was looking at her stats and stuff- ayy she learned Locktouch!

welp, Xander’s dead again HAH, it’s showing Ryoma, Hinoka and Takumi instead of Azura, Takumi and Felicia hah

Kagero, I’m pretty sure the correct grammar is ‘Azura and I’ but w/e lmao ‘I know this is the right choice’ what if I told you that you could refuse to pick a side, Corrin-

time for the intro that we’ve seen before :’D and here’s Lilith!

.... why is Jakob showing up and not Kaze, lol

7 facts about me childhood

1. I grew up in the most fucked-up house of all time. Falling apart, holes in the floor, mold growing everywhere, pretty much open to the elements, including all manner of flora and fauna–we had mice, spiders, rats, skunks, possums, wasps, moths, flies, and house centipedes occupying inside or around our property. One year the wasp problem inside the house was so bad, my dad decided to investigate, and in an upstairs crawlspace he found a wasp nest that was so fucking big it looked like thousands of generations of wasps had been chilling up there making their home. Looked like the nest of a fucking xenomorph. Even the exterminator we called hadn’t seen a wasp nest as big as the one in my fucking crawlspace. Another year we became infested with silkworms–I came downstairs to eat breakfast one morning and there were hundreds of them crawling on the ceiling and dangling down everywhere from little invisible strings. It was fucking surreal.

2. My biological mother went undiagnosed with a mental illness for the longest time, and one day when me and my little sisters were coming back from a visitation with our dad, we discovered she had thrown away everything in the house, including food, appliances, and all of mine and my sister’s clothes and possessions, on a whim. Our toys, beds, birth certificates and other important documents–everything. She was getting ready to even throw out the clothes we were wearing when my dad intervened.

3. I grew up with two musician parents–my father and my stepmother. My dad was (is) really talented and it’s kind of a shame he never did anything with his music, but my stepmother had a habit of making cringey songs about sex that she’d play at like the most inappropriate times. Like she’d play these songs when we had company over and even as a young child I knew what they were about and it made me want to evaporate out of existence.

4. Another thing about my dad is that he had no fucks to give–I saw John Carpenter’s The Thing when I was three years old because he was too lazy to change the channel when it came on the TV in the living room. Same with The Blob from ‘88, saw that when I was three as well for the same reason. And speaking of that–

5. That fucking movie, no joke, scarred me for life. I mean, The Thing scared me pretty bad when I saw it, but I got over it eventually and now it’s one of my favorite movies of all time. But The ‘88 Blob? Fuck that movie. I can never watch it again as long as I live. I tried once when I was fourteen and started having a panic attack. I still to this day have nightmares about it every once in a while. And that fucking sucks because it’s probably one of the cheesiest movies of all time to be scared of, albeit one with really decent special effects.

6. My dad would throw this absolutely massive birthday party for my stepmother every summer–it would last three whole days nonstop, and there was usually enough booze, food, and room on our property to accommodate a ton of people. The shit that happened at these parties–incredible. By the time night rolled around, us kids would usually watch the adults get dangerously drunk and do increasingly stupid things, like it was a spectator sport. One year one of my uncles tried to jump over the bonfire my dad set up during the night and actually lit his pants on fire. Another year, someone brought half of a hollowed-out watermelon that contained homemade White Lightning and almost all the adults just got so fucked up; and it wasn’t like it was a problem, because we had a pretty big amount of property, so they could make themselves up a tent in the backyard or sleep on one of the three old couches we had stashed in our barn if they were too drunk to make it home. But it wasn’t like it was really a bad thing–those were some of the best times of my life as a kid, really. I got to see my extended family, we had a shit-ton of cake and hot dogs and soda and hamburgers, and we could stay up as late (or as early) as we wanted.

7. When I was eleven, my dad threw my TV out my window because I called my little sister an asshole. He claims it was because I spent too much time playing video games on it, but I know that’s the real reason why LOL

Living The Fantasy - Chapter Two

AO3 Link | Find previous chapter(s) on tumblr here.

Story Summary: Meeting royalty, falling in love, and living happy ever after were the things Hollywood movies were made of…or happened only to the Meghan Markle and Daniel Westling’s of the world. Rylie Martin was neither made for the silver screen nor one of the lucky one percent—that is, until a bachelor party entered the bar she worked at one fateful night. Even after a magical meeting and love in the air, Rylie knew getting that fairytale ending wouldn’t be easy. But nothing could have prepared her for what awaited her in Cordonia.

Pairing: Liam x MC

Chapter Title Inspiration: My Wish - Rascal Flatts

Word Count: 3,805

A/N: I always wondered why the guys didn't join Liam and MC at the table in the club, and why it was Drake that had stayed with Maxwell the following morning. Those thoughts are the inspiration behind this first intermission!I've put in some foreshadowing to some future plot points, hope I didn't make them too obscure lol

* ~ * ~ *

First Intermission: My Wish For You

My wish for you is that this life becomes all that you want it to

Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small

And if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose,

I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.

“Tell me why we can’t go sit with them again?”

Drake will admit that he had enjoyed himself when they had first come in—the club had the atmosphere of a Beaumont Bash, which he liked because it wasn’t a fancy ball, but without the pretentiousness, which their parties always had because they were still all rich, entitled people underneath it all.

However, he was never a party goer to begin with nor was he a robot who could dance the night away without pause. He wanted to sit down by the sidelines with his small group of friends and drink some whiskey while he relaxed. Every time he tried to look around for where Liam went off to, though, Maxwell would distract and otherwise prevent him from doing so. Either Maxwell had a good reason for stopping him or he was up to something, and Drake was going to find out what it was.

“I—I never said we couldn’t! Just…aren’t you having fun? The drinks are flowing,” Maxwell gestured towards Tariq who was in deep conversation with the bottle server, “And the women are beckoning!” As discreetly as Maxwell could, he jerked his head to the trio of ladies who were dancing nearby them.

When Drake locked eyes with one of them they winked at him and he gave them what he hoped was a smoldering look before returning his gaze to Maxwell. “I hate to admit that I am having fun, but it’s not like this is all going to go away if I sit down for five minutes.”

Drake tried to side-step him to search the tables for Liam but Maxwell got in his way again. “Okay, maybe you’re right, but I might get into trouble while you’re gone. You know I can go from zero to sixty like that.” Maxwell snapped his fingers.

Several first-hand experiences could attest to the validity of that, and if Drake was honest with himself it was half the reason he was still out there on the dance floor with them. He was always protective of his friends—something he liked to think he got from his father—but sometimes Maxwell needed…special attention lest he drag them all into a mess Drake couldn’t pull them out of. But Maxwell was an adult, and he wasn’t his keeper.

And he just really needed a break.

“Well good thing Tariq’s here to keep you company,” Drake offered, clapping him on the shoulder.

Maxwell gave him a deadpan look and Drake slowly removed his hand awkwardly. Okay, maybe that was a weak excuse. They both knew that Tariq would either crumble under the pressure of trouble or bolt in the other direction…or crumble and then bolt in the other direction.

“Look, Maxwell, I’m not your babysitter or your bodyguard. If you really don’t think you can handle yourself for five minutes I’ll keep you in my line of sight, okay? If worse comes to worst I promise I’ll bail you out of jail.”

“You’re a true friend, Drake,” Maxwell said, placing a hand over his heart as if he was touched by Drake’s words. Still, even as he said that he moved to block Drake’s way again. “But maybe if you could stay just a little while longer…”

Drake frowned and crossed his arms. “Okay, what are you up to, Maxwell?” Maxwell opened his mouth to protest, but Drake continued before he could make a sound. “Don’t bullshit me. Your excuse was good but not that good. And you’re being way too persistent, even for you. So spill.”

Maxwell raised both hands up in surrender and took a couple of steps back; it was times like this he was reminded why he was glad Drake was on his side…most of the time. His mind wandered to a very likely scenario where Drake would probably wipe the Beaumont name off the face of the earth but he was pulled back to the present as Drake took a step towards him, closing the distance he created. “Look, it’s not what you think…or maybe it is what you think but it’s a good thing!”

“Maxwell…” Drake’s tone held a not-so-subtle hint of a warning.

“I—oh!”

Drake noticed Maxwell was staring at something behind him, and when he turned to follow his gaze Drake saw Liam and Rylie wrapped in a tight embrace. At Maxwell’s small cheer, Drake whirled back around to face him. “You’re trying to hook them up? That’s why you’re keeping me from going over there?”

“It’s not that I think you’d kill the vibe…too much…but who would want to interrupt that?”

Drake frowned as he watched Liam laugh. “Uh, me. I would very much like to interrupt that right now.”

Maxwell looked up at him with a mix of shock and horror. He had thought for sure that Drake would join him on his quest once he realized what he was up to. “What?! Why?”

“You can’t honestly think getting them together is a good idea.”

“Again, why?”

Drake crossed his arms. “First of all, Liam’s not even a one night stand kind of guy, which I know you know about him. Which means you’re trying to get them together, which is incredibly cruel to the both of them considering we’re leaving tomorrow to get him engaged to someone else.”

It was Maxwell’s turn to frown now. “It doesn’t have to be ‘someone else’…” he mumbled.

Drake snorted. “Right, because the court will really let some random woman from New York come in to vie for their future king’s hand in marriage. And what if she’s some gold digger? She’s a stranger, who would vouch for her? Then if she somehow managed to get in she has no idea what she’s in for with those people. She wouldn’t last one day.”

Vouch for her… A plan began to form in Maxwell’s head. “Apart from Olivia, Liam knows those women about as well as Rylie…maybe even less than now. And do you really think they want to be the next queen just out of the goodness of their hearts, that their families don’t want the prestige that’d come from getting their daughters hitched? I bet she’s tougher than you think.”

“Why are you defending her?”

“Why are you attacking her?”

“I’m not—” Drake cut himself off as he ran a hand through his hair, frustrated. He had to admit Maxwell had a point, but this wasn’t some fairytale; Liam couldn’t ditch it all to follow his heart like his brother did. And I’ve seen firsthand what court will do to someone who doesn’t belong…

There was a tense silence for a few moments before Maxwell shifted awkwardly. “Look, they’re both adults, they can make their own decisions. And Liam wouldn’t lead her on, either; you know that, too. Just…give him one night. One night out of the rest of his life.”

Drake looked back at Liam and Rylie, saw how in awe and happy and himself he was with her, and sighed in defeat. “Fine. But if this backfires—”

“Heads will roll, specifically mine, I got it!” Maxwell interrupted him excitedly before starting to dance again and beckoning him to do the same. “Come on, Drake. Show off those moves!”

“Another bottle of champagne!” Tariq yelled as he sauntered over to them, swinging the empty bottle in his hand as he danced. “Who knew we’d find a decent vintage here?”

Drake lost track of time as he drank and danced with his friends (and a couple of women), but eventually he seriously needed to sit down for a breather. After swearing on a kraken that he wouldn’t go over to Liam and Rylie’s table, Drake sunk into a chair at a table on the opposite side of the dance floor as them.

It wouldn’t hurt to just look and check up on them, right? Drake asked himself as he took a sip of his champagne. Surely that wasn’t going to break his ‘contract’ with Maxwell. Discreetly, his eyes slid over to where he knew their table was…only to find it empty. Drake immediately sat up in his seat, his heart stopping for a moment. Okay, okay, there had to be a reasonable explanation for what was happening that didn’t involve kidnapping or injury or death.

As calmly as he could, Drake reached into his jeans pocket and pulled out his phone, both surprised and relieved to see a notification for one unread message from Liam. Perhaps he didn’t hear the noise over the music or feel the vibration with all his dancing. Hurriedly he opened the group chat.

“Hey guys, before you start to panic I wanted to let you know that I am safe and sound.

Rylie presented me with an opportunity I just could not refuse.

And no, Drake, she did not coerce me into it.”

Drake huffed at the callout—Liam knew him too well—before continuing to read.

“Our location has been given to our driver; he will take you to us when you guys are ready.

Please do not rush to leave on my account.

I want you all to enjoy this moment. It is as much for you as it is for me.

See you soon.”

“Hey, you got the texts too?”

Drake looked up to see Maxwell and Tariq standing by the table, phones in hand.

“Liam, you sly dog you,” Tariq said approvingly. It was clear what he thought had happened.

“He sent it twenty minutes ago.” Maxwell looked back at the message. “Do you think that’s enough time for him?” He suddenly looked up, eyes wide, as Tariq elbowed him with a laugh. “I mean, not for that…at least I don’t think they left for that—”

“How about we just go to the limo and meet him…wherever they went,” Drake stopped Maxwell before he finished that embarrassing sentence. “If he’s not…ready…we’ll wait.”

After paying off their tab and summoning the limo, they were on their way to the location their driver was given. Drake spent the majority of the ride questioning the driver of how Liam seemed when they spoke, whether he was ‘being held at gunpoint’, both literally and figuratively. But the driver was confident that everything was on the up and up, and that Liam even looked excited.

Not long after that the limo slowed as they arrived at their destination, and Drake was the first to get out and take in their surroundings. Quaint little shops, darkened to show they were closed, lined both sides of the street; ahead was a pier, and to the right of the docks were the makings of a large park. In the muted quiet of the night the gentle waves of the water could be heard, but all in all there was not sight or sound of Liam or Rylie.

“What could they possibly be doing out here?” Maxwell asked as he came up beside Drake.

“Are we sure this is the right place?” Tariq questioned, and Drake approached the driver to pose the same inquiry to the driver.

“This is the location I was told to go,” the driver confirmed, and the three men mulled over what that could mean.

“Perhaps the driver was given the wrong place to throw us off? Give themselves more time alone?” Tariq suggested, his eyebrows going up suggestively.

A scowl appeared on Drake’s face, thinking something more dark than dirty, and Maxwell hurried to calm him down.

“How about we trust them, trust Liam,” Maxwell added, seeing Drake readying to start arguing about Rylie. “Let’s just wait here for a little while.”

Well, it wasn’t as if they had any other leads to go on. So, they waited. As they neared the ten minute mark, they noticed lights coming in from the water—a boat. And soon after that, two familiar figures could be seen walking from the docks and up the pier towards them. But they hadn’t noticed them yet, so Drake cupped his hands around his mouth as an amplifier and yelled.

“Liam!”

The couple stopped and looked towards them before waving. As they turned to each other and talked, Drake didn’t miss how they held each other’s hands.

Neither did Maxwell, who came up to clap Drake on the back. “See, have a little faith.”

Drake grumbled something, which was as close as an apology as Maxwell was going to get. “What are they doing? Why won’t they come over here?” He frowned as a minute turned into two, deepening as he saw Rylie nod at him and Liam turn to look, seemed to laugh, before they continued to chat.

“Seems like you made an impression,” Maxwell teased, but before Drake could say anything Liam was heading towards them—alone.

Before they could say a word Liam spoke. “Let’s go before I change my mind.” Without breaking his stride Liam continued on to the limo and got in without looking back.

Drake and Maxwell shared a look before they followed after him, but they, along with Tariq, waved goodbye to Rylie before getting into the vehicle. Things were silent for the beginning of the ride back to the hotel, Liam gazing out of the window lost in thought, before Maxwell cleared his throat. Despite Drake’s frantic hand signals to not say a word, Maxwell said something anyway.

“So…did Rylie not want a ride home or…?”

The fisted hand that was holding Liam’s head up against the window twitched. “She believed it would bring unwanted attention towards me.”

Liam’s wording caught Drake’s attention. “Towards you? Not herself?” That didn’t make any sense. Why would that even be a concern? Unless… Drake gasped. “Liam, tell me you didn’t…”

Maxwell and Tariq’s gazes kept shifting between Liam and Drake, not following. “What are we missing here?” Maxwell asked them.

Liam sighed as he closed his eyes. “I told Rylie that I’m the Crown Prince of Cordonia.”

A stunned silence followed Liam’s confession.

Maxwell was once again the one to say something first. “That’s…wow. Wow, okay, that’s out there now. How did she take it?”

“About as well as you are taking this news, actually.” Liam chuckled softly as he opened his eyes again and shifted to face his friends. “At least at first. Then she treated me like a normal person as if I’d never said anything. It was everything I could’ve hoped for.” And more, but what happened after that was between him and Rylie only.

“Well, I trust she’ll keep your secret,” Tariq said in support.

“Yeah, well I don’t,” Drake said under his breath.

“Then trust me,” Liam replied, hearing him despite the low voice Drake had used. Liam had always appreciated the way Drake never held back with him, but Drake had been testy where Rylie was concerned all night and Liam found it unwarranted. “She told me to pass along how much of a pleasure it was to meet everyone. I told her it was likewise; I hope I have not lied to her.”

That was the second time someone told him to trust Liam, including the man himself. Didn’t they understand that it wasn’t Liam he didn’t trust? “I’m just trying to protect you, Liam.”

Liam smiled ruefully. He knew Drake was coming from a good place, which was why he usually didn’t mind when Drake got like this. “I know you are, but I don’t need you to be your father, Drake. I just want you to be my best friend.”

Drake nodded—it meant a lot to hear Liam say that, especially after hearing how his father couldn’t have the same relationship with King Constantine that Drake had with Liam— but said no more.

“So…what else did Rylie say?” Maxwell prodded after a few peaceful moments when it seemed safe to bring their waitress up again.

“Oh!” Liam perked up as he remembered—something else that did not escape Maxwell’s eyes. “Rylie told me to tell you that she said ‘I said what I said’. Does that mean anything to you?”

“Does it mean anything to me?” Maxwell parroted incredulously. “She’s like a walking meme enactor! I can’t believe I missed that!”

“She did say you’d be sad you weren’t there for it.”

“Rylie knows me so well already.”

As Drake looked out the window, much like how Liam was earlier, his friends’ voices faded into the background until all he could hear were his thoughts. He had been too vocal about Rylie without any proof. A huge part of him felt justified in his actions, but there was a small part of him that felt guilty. While he tried to reconcile his feelings one way or another, Drake wondered if there was even a point to his inner turmoil.

After all, it wasn’t as if he was ever going to see her again.

* ~ * ~ * ~ *

The next morning, as the smell of freshly brewed coffee filled the kitchen of their suite, Drake scrolled through his phone, checking for any mention of Liam in the news or on social media. Even though running into Rylie was no longer an issue, she knew information that could blow up on them at any time. It was something best exposed while it was still fresh, but nothing yet.

Perhaps it’s still early…? Drake thought as he absentmindedly reached for the coffee pot, only for another hand to grab it before him. “What—”

“I didn’t take you as someone who’d be glued to their phone,” Maxwell said as he poured himself a cup.

“And you’re usually not up until the afternoon,” Drake ribbed back. “What gives?”

“I indirectly asked first,” Maxwell grinned impishly.

Drake rolled his eyes but relented. He wasn’t going to play Maxwell’s childish games and he had nothing to hide; that would imply he was doing something wrong, which he totally wasn’t. “Just making sure no surprise scandals or hordes of paparazzi were waiting for us outside the door.”

Confusion spread across Maxwell’s face. “Why would—” Then it dawned on him. “You think Rylie sold us out, sold Liam out.” Drake’s silence was a deafening answer. “And? Did she?”

Drake was reluctant to answer as if he was almost upset that he was wrong. “…No, but that doesn’t mean she won’t in the future.”

“And pass on the perfect opportunity she had to be in the morning news? Not to mention how easy it would’ve been for her to be seen in our limo, which she refused last night.” Maxwell retorted. “Just admit that you’re wrong about her, man.”

Drake stubbornly shifted against the counter he was leaning against. “That remains to be seen.”

Maxwell once again continued speaking as if Drake hadn’t said anything. “…Just as I’ll humbly admit that I was totally right for choosing her!”

Drake was almost afraid to ask. “Choose her for what?”

“I’m so glad you asked! It’s actually the reason I’m up so early. I need your help.” Maxwell rubbed a finger under his nose and took a quick glance at the closed doors of Liam and Tariq’s rooms before leaning in closer to whisper to Drake. “I’ve decided to sponsor Rylie so that she can contend to marry Liam.”

Drake actually spat out his coffee. “You what?” he hissed as he wiped his chin and turned to glare at Maxwell. “Have you lost your mind?”

“You actually gave me the idea last night; you’re right, she wouldn’t have been allowed into court otherwise.”

“That wasn’t—” Drake shook his head as that wasn’t the point. “Why her?”

“Why not? We’ve proven she’s not a gold digger, and she handled us pretty well, so I think she’ll do just fine against the other nobles. But more than that…didn’t you see the way Liam lit up around her? Even just mentioning her name would bring a smile to his face. I haven’t seen him like that since…like, ever. That’s more than good enough for me.”

“Life isn’t that simple, Maxwell.” Drake sighed before dragging a hand down his face. “So, what exactly do you need my help with? Seems like you already figured everything out yourself.”

“I can’t do this alone, but I can’t ask Tariq! You saw how he and I acted around her; we’re totally out of our element. And I obviously can’t ask Liam. You, though, she looked to you for normalcy. You can vibe with her—”

“Because we’re both commoners?” Drake finished for him, raising an eyebrow as if challenging Maxwell to argue otherwise—he didn’t. “That sounds like a ‘you’ problem, not a ‘me’ problem,” Drake dismissed as he moved towards the living room of the suite.

“I know you won’t do it for Rylie, and you probably wouldn’t do it for me, but doesn’t Liam deserve this?” Maxwell called after him, and Drake paused. “You’re his best friend. Don’t you want him to be happy, to at least have the chance to be happy with her?”

Drake wanted nothing more than for Liam to be happy. He couldn’t think of anyone else who deserved it more, who deserved the whole world at his feet not because of his lineage, but just because of him as a person. But this…

Before Drake could answer, the door to Liam’s room opened, and Liam rubbed an eye as he yawned, coming to a stop in the space between his two friends. “I knew I heard voices out here. What’s up?”

Maxwell stared at Drake’s back for a moment longer before plastering a smile on his face as he moved his attention to Liam. “I was just saying how I’m gonna take a later flight back to Cordonia.”

That woke Liam up more than coffee could. “Oh? By yourself?”

Maxwell opened his mouth, but Drake answered before he could make a sound. “No. I’ll be with him.”

Drake didn’t understand why it had to be Rylie out of everyone in the entire world, didn’t understand what it was about her that captured people so, and he didn’t think he ever would understand. But this wasn’t about him. Maybe he couldn’t take the weight of the crown off Liam’s shoulders or protect him in all the ways he wished he could, but if accompanying Rylie back to Cordonia was all he needed to do to bring happiness to his best friend, he’d do it. No question.

“We have some unfinished business left here.”

The rest was up to her.

People With Rhesus Negative Blood May Be Aliens

Acid for Blood - Alien: Resurrection (1997)

Studies conducted on rhesus negative blood types show that they are missing the Rhesus factor, a protein substance present in the red blood cells of other humans.

Theories suggest that people with Rhesus negative (RH) blood may be from outside this world.

Others suggest they are fallen angels from the heavens above or they belong to an alien race from somewhere in the vast darkness of space.

What is clear is that those who have with Rhesus (RH) negative blood are different and unique.

A person who has RH negative O blood is able to serve as a donor to any person regardless of their blood type. But if they need blood, only their own type will suffice.

They represent 15% of the human race and are mostly from northern Europe.

The four common blood types of today include A, B, AB and O. The differences between each blood type is dependent on the proteins in the blood, but when it comes to RH negative blood types, which make up about 10 to 15 percent of the population, they don’t have these proteins.

The question that is on the minds of scientists now, is where this group of RH negative blood type people originates from. Looking back about 35,000 years, scientists believe that the blood type is linked to specific tribes and groups. Europeans have the greatest incidence of this blood type, but only 3% of African-Americans have it, and only 1% of Asian people have it.

Some common characteristics of people with this blood type include having a higher IQ, having a lower body temperature, having more awareness (physically and emotionally), having red hair, being sensitive to heat, and having blue, green or hazel colored eyes.

This blood type is shrouded in even more mystery when we look at pregnant women. RH negative women who become pregnant have difficulty delivering a baby with an RH positive blood type, as their bodies naturally attack and try to kill the fetus. Thus, they are given a special sterilized solution. (Anti-D or RHo (D) immunoglobulin)

But, why would the woman’s body attack the offspring it’s been helping give life to?

This is where a relatively new theory comes in and suggests that it’s possible alien life has influenced this blood type. What’s even stranger is that almost every person who has reported being abducted by (or interacted with) aliens has the RH negative blood type.

It’s certainly very possible that aliens visited our planet, as they’ve done for centuries, and somehow tooled around with the genetics of mankind. After all, history from all over the world has shown time and time again, through ancient texts and depictions, that we’ve been visited by beings not of this world.

What do you think about the blood type that is missing a key link to evolutionary humans? Could it be that some of us have alien blood running through our veins?

Angela Bruce

Er, no. Rhesus negative people cannot donate to “anyone, regardless of blood type” ! Only O neg can do that. B- can give to AB+ , AB- , B+ & B- but not O+ or O-; A- can give to AB+ , AB- , A+ & A- but not O+ or O-.

Margaret Worrall

Read it again, he said ‘A person who has RH negative O blood is able to serve as a donor to any person regardless of their blood type. But if they need blood, only their own type will suffice.’

Ridiculous post! ….Haaaahaha…..!

Xavier McHenry

Not as bad as 90% of the posts about it. lol

Nolan Bad Heart Bull

You have no idea of the knowledge some people have.

Dee Angott

Libby

Dee Angott

You have no idea how in aw I am.

Dee Angott

No. You really don’t. True statement, very!

Penny Mayes

Are we supposed to believe this stuff when so much of it is wrong? RH neg women are not sterilised – my first born was RH positive, her sister RH negative, both now in their 30s with children of their own.

amfrancis2

I was given rogan shots during my first, my second and third pregnancies and after because both 1st and 2nd were positive, but because I was fixed after the 3rd I didn’t need a shot even though she was positive.

kim

I has 17 shots with my second. I almost died! I lost so much blood I passed out. There was so much blood on the bed it looked like a horror movie. I passed out on the toilet. I’m sure it was a lovely sight.

Margaret Worrall

He didn’t mean sterilized the way you took it. It was the wrong word to use. They are given an injection of antibodies to prevent the baby being rejected. It is usually only necessary with the first pregnancy.

Lisa K Gregg

Actually it is during all pregnancies if the spouse if positive blood type or blood type unknown. Also it would be 2 shots, one about half way through just in case the babies blood gets in your blood stream and after delivery they test the baby right away and if the baby is positive you get another shot to make sure if any of the babies blood got in you during birth you don’t develop the anti-bodies. I am 0 Neg and had to have the first shot twice. Both my kids are negative luckily.

Margaret Worrall

I am O neg my partner was O pos. I have four children, I had the shot after my first child was born only. so No it isn’t always with all pregnancies.

Jessie Robinette

Incorrect. It’s the subsequent pregnancies that are at risk, because the mother’s body builds the antibodies due to that initial incompatibility.

I’m Rh neg and I had a miscarriage before my first and second child. I have learned that only O pos men can get me pregnant AND that I am only attracted to O pos men. Weird huh. My kids like to remind me that I was supposed to have 4 kids (mostly when they are being annoying lol).

Angela

i have had the same thing happen to me.All three of my surviving children are o poss, and so is my husband.

kim

I had a suspicion that was what was going on. My son was allergic to my breast milk.

John Merrick

We all know where this propaganda is heading.. kill Whitey.

Expect to see more of this type of garbage as Whites slide into minority status, everywhere they have made their homes.

Xavier McHenry

I’d kill ya for being a redneck retard making the white race look bad with fucktard comments like the one you just made. lol! But that’s about the only place anything is headed to kill white people. Dipshit.

Margaret Worrall

You are the one trying to turn this into propaganda, Stop hatemongering you moron!

Karen Barnes

The article does not properly explain blood cell genetics. O Rh negative blood types are the universal donor. They have no antigens on the surface of their blood cells. This means that antibodies are not formed towards these cells. However A, B and AB and Rhesus positive blood types will cause the O neg type person to mount a response to kill the cells and these types cannot be used for transfusion or the O neg patient will die. In the case of an O Rh neg mum and Rh pos baby the mum’s body begins to create antibodies to the baby as its blood is like any invader. Mums are given an injection of Anti D antibodies which ” mop up” the baby’s cells in her system so that her body doesn’t form antibodies which will remain to attack the next baby. “Blue babies” were common prior to 1966 when this “vaccine” was first used. AB and Rh pos genes are dominant and will manifest in a baby when one parent is positive. As to aliens, they must have had greyhound dogs as pets because they are the canine universal donor!

Margaret Worrall

It wasn’t meant as a genetics lesson, just an explanation of a theory.

Rebecca Wildsmith

Glad you talked about the O Rh neg mum & the problem only arising with the 2nd child, as that was what made me want to comment on. Maybe it was a ‘weird’, ancient form of natural contraception within their blood type? I’m writing stories here! Probably because I’m O Rh neg! I read years ago in a National Geographic magazine that O Negs possibly came from the island of Atlantis. The ‘population’ with the highest level of O Neg people is the Basque Country. I also have Basque blood & green eyes. I found the protein thing very interesting… Is that why I’m often cold?

Barbara Bush

Something many people don’t know is that a Type O (and in my personal case O positive) female can have the same experience when having a baby with type A, B or AB blood as well. When I gave birth to my 3rd son (the second one born with Type A positive) He had to be treated just as a baby with a positive blood type would be treated if born to an Rh negative mom. There is no vaccine or treatment for this specific anomaly. In the days of less modern medicine, I would have lost this child within 3 days of his birth.

Xavier McHenry

I would laugh my ass off over this, but I have to take into account that there is more proof that aliens exist and are doing weird things with us than there is God existing…in fact there is no proof whatsoever that a god exists save in written fear propaganda from the time.

Jacqui Killick

Classified documents have started being released lately confirming first contact, and the Vatican has gone so far as stating that alien theories do not interfere with their beliefs. Makes me wonder if they will then reveal their possession of the giant skeletons in their possession, those excavated in the 1700’s … But when I wonder will the USA finally admit publicly that they have had contact? I have been researching some of the classified information in these past months, thinking that the USA cannot maintain their secrecy for too much longer.

Nolan Bad Heart Bull

I am from Pine Ridge, SD. I am of Lakota Sioux decent and I believe the RH Negative Blood types are of Alien decent…I was told by someone, who I have GREAT RESPECT for, that the Aliens that came long ago (and are still here/around today) are a precursor of us and that they have tried to fix their DNA because they are dying out. The truth of the matter is; The RH Negative blood types are the ones who were and are descendants of those who were abducted by the Aliens that have tried to fix their DNA. Just know they are watching. Legend has it that we are in the Fourth (4th) world. The First (1st) was ruled by Black man, which like nowadays, who prospered and greed became rampant. Then their world was destroyed by Fire. The second (2nd) world was ruled by the Yellow man, same story, prospered and greed set in. The 2nd was destroyed by Ice. The Third (3rd) was ruled by the Red man. Same story, prospered and greed set in and the 3rd was destroyed by water. Now we are in the 4th world, as you may have noticed the prosper and now the greed of people and nations are becoming more and more detrimental to this planet. The Legend has said this 4th world will be destroyed by all the past three worlds; Fire, Ice, and Water not in that order but you can think of melting ice, nuclear weapons, and the afterm athletes of the Nukes being used will be Cold weather possible ice age!!! Get in touch with your inner being and spirit because you might come back after you die.

Janet Witt

You have any ideas how I can get ready.Seems everything I have ever known was just a big fat lie.

TexasOlTimer

My granddaughter saw this article and sent me the link telling me “YOU IS AN ALIEN!” Yup, if the article is right. I always thought I was just strange! 🙂 (and no comments on her grammar – she was just showing that it’s a fun article).

Angela

Hi there i,m a RHS O,i have red hair and hazel eye,s,both my parents had a different blood type to my own. My mother was an O poss, and my father was A poss.So on that alone means that at least one of them would have to be an alien to have me.And before people say that they were,nt my parents. They were.

Mandiii Hammond

You have 2 blood factors in your blood and you get one from each parent. If O is positive and o is negative, your mum would be Oo and your dad would be Ao. You could of been any number if blood types but for you, you got a double negative oo, one from each parent

Jimmy

Trash. Can’t explain the specifics of something? Must be aliens. Probably not the first thing to jump to.

Libby

are you trying to say i am not an alien! 🙁

Nicolette Meyer

Some of my neighbours used to think I was – but they were just b***y racists!

imast

It’s a theory, as clearly stated with “may be” not “must be”. In real science ALL theories should be investigated equally and without prejudice, regardless of what makes you uncomfortable, or we would never learn anything. Did you know the Earth is round and orbits the sun yet? That was crazy not long ago also. Unless you have more to offer than trashy troll comments why bother? You can do that on youtube, imdb, facebook etc.

I am O neg RH neg. I had the shot with my first one while pregnant and never again. Luckily my husband is also RH neg so it wasn’t necessary. I was told I would need it during and after every pregnancy if he was positive as each pregnancy would be more dangerous than the the one before. As for the donor part, a person with O neg Rh neg can donate to anyone with negative blood types, especially the Rh neg groups. O positive Rh positive can donate to anyone with positive blood types, again especially the Rh positive groups. O blood is the universal donor but you still need to be careful with the positive and negative parts and the Rh factor. If you give a Rh neg person a blood transfusion from a Rh positive universal donor, especially a woman, it is risking her chances of being able to have a child. As for the alien part, come on. If they cant figure something out the first thing they say is “Alien related”. Give me a break.

now days are different in pregnancy. ladies are forced to get the shot. I know cause my husband and I are both rh negative and I didn’t have a choice on the shot. I try getting out of it last year and they gave me a choice of getting the shot or I was out on not having an ob doctor. all 4 of my children are rh negative.

Rebecca Wildsmith

Your 4 children could only be Rh negative as both parents are. A child can only be the same blood type as the mother or the father, they can’t be anything else. That’s what I was taught.

Rebecca Wildsmith

Obviously assumed paternity. Years ago, many ‘parents’ found out a child was not their’s through blood testing.

Dirty_Martini

You should have called a lawyer, because this was sheer medical malpractice. You may end up one day later with an autoimmune disorder, because giving an unnecessary BayRHO or RhoGAM shot suppresses a woman’s immune system for the rest of her life.

Jessie Robinette

The reason you were given the shot as a precaution is because the medical staff will not assume paternity. You and your husband may both be negative, but there is a chance that one’s spouse is not the bio father, and the bio father may be rh +. That is why clinics now often give rh – women the Rhogam shot as a precaution. It could be dangerous for the fetus not to do so, in the event of paternity being different than what is presented. My OBGYN was actually very upfront about this practice. They won’t risk a potential incompatibility issue simply because they’re potentially operating under false paternity info.

jan v

O- can donate to both – and +

Socks McRockin

I think it’s more likely that it was a harmless/benign mutation that took hold in Northern Europe. We have huge amounts of evidence that genetic mutation happens, whereas the evidence for alien life is less established.

jan v

possibly the winters were less harsh on people with lower body temps and that’s why that type survived better in that climate same goes with any different types maybe an AB+ with a higher body temp did better in hotter climes and were naturally more hardy there

Janet Witt

It’s weird I have everything they said Rh people have blue eyes sensitive to heat etc. but I am O- weird.

Laird-Jon

I’ve always thought my wife was strange but now I know she’s only an alien.

Bruce Wayne

Well, damn, why don’t the aliens send me the lottery numbers telepathically?

Manie

Other neurological effects of toxo infection are thought to include neuroticism. Rhesus – is greatest in Europe, where exposure to toxo, from wild cats was (originally) low compared to other geographic regions. In comes the domestic cat and exposure is now much higher. ‘Maybe the reason all the alien abductes are Rh- is actually a manifestation of the negative neurocognitive effects of toxo infection which are significantly greater in Rh- phenotypes. I.e. Your article is a load of total rubbish.

I’m A-. The characteristics the article speaks on are spot on.

Truth-Teller

Another Racist propaganda article out here made to make out “African Americans” and any relative thereof as being dumb and Europeans aka White people as the superior intellectual race. This shit is getting sad.. It makes Asians out to have 1% of the “GOD-LIKE” blood type yet again implying they aren’t as intellectual as Europeans…when in all actuality, Every damn thing is made in china and Asian people are masters in mental intellect and projection. Most statistics regarding new inventions and elder inventions..White people have stolen from other races and Claimed it as there own…yet again creating lies to white-wash the entire globe…making europeans out to be something they’re not. This is very sad…when a bunch of self-centered racist journalist, novelist come together to spread untruth.

Bram Rhys Swarr

what the fuck are you on about, blood has nothing to do with intelligence… if statistically accurate data is all it takes to claim racism then its a problem with you.

Libby

yes every darn thing is made in China and it breaks within 5 minutes of getting it home! and that is not being racist it saying they make things on the cheap and their crap. If you see racism in this article then you are more racist than the average racist. Why oh why do people keep showing the racist card all the time even when they are totally wrong. honestly…grw up mun!

Dirty_Martini

Stop race baiting here, and blame it on the Nazis… they discovered Rh negative blood in 1937. And there are many blacks with Rh-Neg blood. President Obama is AB-Negative.

Steven

Just because Asians are making damned near everything does not make them super geniuses. That which they make we whites invented and that makes us special .

Bram Rhys Swarr

don’t we all wish it were aliens, only our primitive, bloodthirsty species could not handle it. see the opening for the episode “In A Mirror, Darkly” in Star Trek Enterprise.

Libby

I always knew i was different……im special…..an alien! hahahahahaha

Ken M

I think its actually spelled racist

seanachiejimk

Surette

I was born with RH negative blood and it was killing me so I had to have a complete transfusion when I was about an hr. old. My Rh negative was killing me so How do people survive the first hrs of their lives without deadly consequences?

ratmand

This is freaky because my dad had this blood type. Am I part alien?

jeffsprague1

Ramona Ray

errr I am not a stinkin alien nor am I a lizard sheesh get a grip someone just figure it out please.

Annoyed student

There is no such thing as a rhesus blood antigen group Rhesus is a kind of monkey that was experimented on along with rodents when trying to discover clinically significant blood group antigens The Rh (not short for rhesus!) blood group consists of 3 genes that code for D, then E, e, C, c antigens, and a protein that ensures their correct expression If this gene is missing due to deletion the they are Rh null and cannot express any of the above antigens The author appears to be talking about the D antigen only There are also other clinically significant blood group antigens that may be present on their cell surface which can cause HTR or HDFN other than D! Stop writing absolute nonsense!

Glen Eagles

I’m A RH Negative, guess that makes me an Alien lol

Nicolette Meyer

Are you barmy? I do not believe in Angels, fallen or otherwise. I don’t think I’m an alien either. I adore the sun and often flee Europe for the heat in the winter. I am a brunette with green eyes. Am O Rh -. Unfortunetly can’t donate as am taken medication.
