Snippet I'm never going to finish
Sticky had always prided himself on his quick thinking. He remembered being able to pick up the smallest details from what he was reading and then recall them on a whim. He had enjoyed playing games with himself when he was younger, seeing how much and in what level of detail he could memorise.
His favourite had been poems. Silly little things, nursery rhymes and the like, but something about the cadence and simple beauty in the patterns of letters and sounds made him smile.
He had always been good at taking in information. However, what he hadn’t taken into account was that he was not quite as adept at processing it.
Normally, this wouldn’t have mattered. When he had been small, singing Hickory Dickory Dock and Robert Graves’ fairy child poem, he had felt as though he had all the time in the world. It didn’t matter that he’d spend much more time sitting quietly with his eyes closed, organising the information than he spent poring over a page. It didn’t matter that he’d spend hours he was supposed to be sleeping wide awake and filing away his thoughts.
It had only begun to matter when he had revealed his secret to adults who wanted to use it. 
(Was it a secret? He hadn’t thought it needed to be hidden, but now he would do anything to take that decision back, to protect himself from the onslaught of meaningless trivia pounded into his head with barely a moment given to breathe. Maybe that was why he was so insistent on sharing it; if, even for a second, he was useful, it meant all that time he spent cold and alone up on a stage was worth something. That he was worth something.)
It had only begun to matter when his friends depended on him to memorise and utilise sensitive information in a high-pressure situation that was so intense he might as well have been at the bottom of the deepest trench in the ocean.
“Sticky, how’s it coming with that book?” Kate called from across the room, where she was currently tucked under a desk, assessing the damage done to her dart gun.
He heard her, but his mind was completely whited out. He was fairly sure he was still reading, still absorbing information, as his hands continued to turn pages. But he didn’t have any comprehension left to respond. He wanted to tell her it wasn’t worth it. He wouldn’t be able to relay any important information to them quick enough. It would be better to take the book and run. Or, even better, leave the stupid book and escape while they were still unharmed.
But he couldn’t get a single word out. He felt like he was frozen, “stuck in upload mode” as Constance would probably put it. It was all he could do to continue hurriedly flipping through the awful book in front of him that might as well be blank for all he knew.
“Hey.” Reynie dropped down next to him, breathless but still somehow sounding calm and reassuring. “Are you doing okay? I don’t think we’ll be able to hold them off much longer without Kate doing permanent damage to someone, and we all know how Milligan will take that.”
Sticky would have loved to chuckle, to respond with a joke or a glance or even a sigh, but there was too much going on. He caught glimpses of words, “compound”, “balance”, “danger”, “equation”, but nothing substantial.
There was a loud boom, and he managed to tear his eyes away from the book long enough to send Reynie a look, a fleeting plea for help, before his mind stalled again. He heard an irritated shout from Constance, somewhere nearby. That was good. It meant she was close; she had finished finding what she was looking for and made her way back to them. They were almost ready to leave.
If only he could put this accursed book down.
Frantically, his hands began fluttering, catching Reynie’s attention. In his peripheral vision, Sticky saw his friend’s face scrunch in confusion.
“Sticky? What’s wrong?” He paused for a moment, glancing around as another small explosion sounded. Crouching back down, he continued. “What’s going on? Do you need help?”
Words began to blank out Sticky’s thoughts, and then he had a piercing moment of clarity. He started tapping with one hand, a careful pattern on the ground.
…   - - -    …
S - O - S
Reynie paused again, intaking a quiet breath. “Oh. Oh, okay. What do you need? Can you tell me?”
Sticky shook his head, reaching out blindly and clasping Reynie’s hand in his own. He pulled, tugging on his friend and trying to get the message across.
Help me
“Alright, I got it.” Reynie squeezed his hand, before reaching out and snapping the book shut. Sticky made a small noise, not unlike a wounded animal, staring for a few seconds at the afterimage of the book on the ground before shutting his eyes tight.
He heard the rustling of Reynie tucking the book away, and then he felt a light tap on his shoulder.
“Ready to go?” His voice was quiet in the din of chaos, but Sticky heard it loud and clear.
He nodded. “Just tell me where.” He muttered. And with that, his eyes were open, and he was letting Reynie pull him to his feet.
Reynie didn’t once let go of his hand. He pulled Sticky along, as he went over to Constance, as they stopped to gather Kate from whatever fresh trouble she’d embroiled herself in, even as they got into the helicopter.
Once they were all seated, safe in the copter and far away from whatever danger they had been facing.

Pole Vaulter & Private School
Welcome back lovely people!
On today’s post we are gonna just jump right into it. Today contestant will be called simply, Pole Vaulter. We met Pole Vaulter at a football game where his school played mine. Our schools are in the same conference, so you bet i saw him again during basketball season. Now basketball season was when I was brave enough to get his snap. We secured that bag, and me and him hit it off. He had the typical innocent church boy vibe, and I think that’s why I liked him so much. He was so kind, sweet, and funny, literally a walking green flag.
UNTIL he lays the “I don’t want a relationship before college” bomb. I respected his wishes, until HE GOT A GIRLFRIEND. Here’s the timeline for you. Met in September, started talking in December, lays the “I don’t want a relationship” bomb in March, GOT A GIRLFRIEND IN APRIL. “It was so unexpected, I didn’t plan on it, can we be friends?” Babe I am so betrayed right now, the only friend you’re having is your girlfriend. I dipped, I was out. Until September of 2023 came… He had just started college, I’m living my senior year at MSU-Mankato doing my PSEO thing, when I get a text from him.
“Congrats on your commitment!” FISHY AF. So I went full FBI mode, and guess what I found. Him and his “I didn’t want a relationship” girlfriend BROKE UP. So how perfect he saw my instagram post about committing for volleyball, liked it, then texts me. So being the petty me, I text him back and just boom. We are back to how we were before his ex-girlfriend showed up. We started talking a lot, and planned on hanging out over Christmas break.
But that’s when your girl’s eyes were opened. We can’t date him. Why date a man who couldn’t commit to you but could commit to another girl? So we do what any reasonable girl would do in this situation. Hit him with the “I don’t want a relationship right now” bomb. And shit. Blew. UP. Pole Vaulter was heartbroken and confused, but I was too lazy to explain.
Now we don’t talk anymore, which is fine by me. But silly me is now in a relationship with another Track Star. A pole vaulter to be exact. And the funny part? They go to colleges in the same conference, so of course they compete against each other and I have to see him at meets. So so silly.
Anyways Pole Vaulter was the definition of a somewhat good Christian boy. And I cherish the lesson he gave me. Now as we keep going on with the other contestants, the stories might get longer as there is more to tell! So buckle up lovies, we’re in for a ride.
Until next time<3

Can you imagine the chaos if Happiny accidentally drank a potion and everyone was able to understand her and it last for a week?
It would be a cute, chaotic week for everyone involved. As always, this is written for fun. I'm going to try and slow down the number of asks that I get because I don't want to burn myself out.
Someone would've given the baby a Potion that could translate her words, so when that happened, Happiny probably didn't think much of the drink at first.
Happiny after a few minutes: "Mama, my tummy feels funny."
Deuce drops the person responsible for feeding the potion to Happiny: "Happiny... you're talking!"
Happiny tilts her head: "Silly Daddy, I can always talk!"
Deuce suddenly has tears in the corners of his eyes. He didn't expect Happiny to sound so cute and adorable. He also did not realize the amount of times that she would call him Daddy. Like his little heart went boom because of sheer cuteness.
Soni, doing her best to keep her inner emotions from overwhelming her at the moment: "Happiny, is your tummy better?"
Happiny touches her belly and thinks for a moment: "I think so, Mama! It must be the juice I just drank!"
Soni just sighs. She can already see the long week ahead of her. "Just be more careful next time, alright?"
When Ace sees this happening and laughs hard, Happiny runs to him, saying, "Uncle Ace!" and she clings to his leg for cuddles. Soni's just keeping an eye on Happiny so she doesn't fall over from her running while Deuce is trying to recover from Happiny's cuteness overload.
Happiny pets Grim, "Grimmy, you're so nice and fluffy!"
Grim: "Fnyah, little henchman, don't call me nice!"
Happiny is confused: "But you are nice!"
When Happiny goes into her classes, her snores sound like hums and Trein is often looking in Happiny's direction, a slightly softer look on his face. He's probably reminded of his own daughters when they were younger in Happiny's visage.
In P.E., Vargas finds it easier to communicate with Happiny this way and Happiny is enjoying her time with him. Whenever she runs, she's squealing with joy and many of the students find it very cute because of how carefree the sound is. Deuce has to pace himself with Happiny and he's practically glowing from her praises.
When lunch rolls around, Happiny can go with anyone (Soni, Deuce, or Ace) to order food from the lunch buffets and it's easier for them to get orders. Of course, there would be some punks that might want to pick on Happiny in the line and depending on what they say to her, it could end in chaos (as per usual).
Happiny could be getting a pudding cup from one of the nice ghosts and having it on her tray, making her way over to the cash register. Someone snatches it right in front of the little Pokemon.
Happiny would be confused by the aggressive behavior and cry, "Why are you taking my sweets? I didn't do anything to you!"
No one expected the little Pokemon to speak and the people watching this are nervous/looking to see who's gonna step up for a fight.
Mob #1: "Eh, so you're talking now? Good, now you can understand that little puffballs like yourself should respect us, seniors."
Happiny puffs her cheeks: "I don't need to be nice to meanies who take my sweets! Say sorry!"
If this was Ace with her, he'd be like, "Dude, taking food from a baby is kinda lame."
If this was Soni with her, she'd already be getting her words out to lash the bastards into three ways of pain and getting more sweets for Happiny.
If this was Deuce with her, he'd be full-on brawl mode on these guys.
If Floyd was in the lunchroom, Arceus knows the absolute reckoning that will come from this scenario.
The little bun has tears in her eyes because "Why would anyone take my food?" Ace would probably be the one to lead her away from the scene of the crime as Soni and Deuce do their work on those idiots. I feel like Ace would distract Happiny by getting her invested in other things to distract her or even do magic tricks.
During her Daddy's club activities, Happiny cheers for him on the sidelines and is very much his cheerleader, although she does wander off at one point to explore the school. When she does, Happiny finds herself at the Magishift field and she sees Leona.
"Mr. Grumpy Lion, hello!"
Leona just picks up the little bun in one hand and just glares down at her, "...You're talking?"
Happiny just smiles at him, not noticing how everyone else just looked panicked and a little worried at the moment, "I've always talked?"
Leona snarls, "Don't call me that nickname."
Happiny tilts her head, "But why?"
Leona: "I don't like it."
She blinks at him.
Leona realizes that it'd be easier to bribe her to do something than teach her to not call him that. "If you keep calling me that, I won't let you play with this." *Pulls out the disk*
That day, Happiny was very happy to just play and everyone realized that Happiny is very much oblivious to the amount of power that she has because of how cheerful she is. Like it's one thing to see it in her actions, but understanding Happiny is a whole other thing.
Soni is the only one who knows what Happiny's saying before this incident.
When Happiny sees Trey and the sweets he's making in the kitchen, she's toddling towards "Mr. Baking Man" or "Mr. Trey" for sweets. Trey probably would've heard about what happened from the group, but it's still a surprise.
When Riddle comes into the room and sees Happiny eating food, he's chastising the Pokemon and trying to make sure she doesn't ruin her appetite for dinner.
"Okay, Mr. Riddle!" The chirpy reply was a surprise to the Dorm Head as the Pokemon in question continued to munch on her sweets.
When Deuce came by to pick her up, Riddle got the full explanation from him and told Happiny to not accept random drinks from random people anymore.
"Seriously, take care to know what you're consuming." Riddle nagged at the little Pokemon who drooped at the scolding. "You don't know where it comes from after all. You could've been hurt from it. What would happen if that were the case?"
"I'm sorry..." Riddle's face twitched because he really wished to not understand the little Pokemon. It made him feel like his mother and he didn't mean to make her feel bad.
Riddle sighs, "Just make sure to be more vigilant next time."
"Okay." Happiny gives a subdued nod. "I'll be more veggie plant next time."
Riddle: "...Vigilant."
Happiny nods: "I'll be Veggie plant!"
Meanwhile Deuce and Trey are in the corner just laughing at this ongoing lesson of how to pronounce things. When the Braincell Trio and Soni all meet up again for the evening, Happiny's telling Soni all about her day while the teenager hums and encourages little Happiny to keep speaking.
Ace: "Do you always hear Happiny like this?"
Soni: "Yes, why?"
Ace: "Did she always call us by those names? She really says Uncle Ace all the time for me? And- ugh- Mama for you?"
Soni: "What's that last one supposed to mean? Of course, I told you guys when she was born, she recognized me as her Mama, so that's who I am to her."
Ace watches as Happiny talks to the other Pokemon about her day. "Huh."
If Floyd manages to steal Happiny away for a day, then he'd find the whole thing fun. Happiny can tell him stories and she'd listen to his stories. In addition to that, Floyd now knows that Happiny sees him throwing her into the air as a fun thing, so he does that a whole bunch until Happiny got tired from it or he got tired of flinging her into the sky, whichever came first.
"Hehe! Weee!" It makes him happy to hear Happiny having so much fun. "Again, Uncle Floyd!"
He can't deny that it's nice being called Uncle Floyd, although it does make him sound kinda old. Big Brother Floyd sounds better to him. When Happiny sees Azul that day as well as Jade, the two other Mermen were quite interested in her ability to talk until Happiny mentions the potion that was given to her.
Azul frowns at that: "Happiny, you shouldn't drink such an unknown Potion from someone you don't know."
Happiny: "Don't worry, Mr. Octopus, I'm being extra veggie plant now! Mama and Mr. Riddle told me that."
Jade: "Extra veggie plant?"
Floyd: "Sounds like a dish or something?"
Azul: "A new dish that Miss Monet knows is not an unlikely thing with her. Such a shame that she won't ever partner with us."
Happiny and Sobble are playing in the corner and their conversation goes as follows.
Sobble: "Sobble Sob?" So you drank a funny potion and then you could talk?
Happiny: "Yep. Mama and Daddy got angry because it came from someone else. They seemed nice though."
Sobble: "Sob." Be careful though.
Happiny nods: "Don't worry, I'm going to be more veggie plant!"
When Soni stopped by to pick up the little bun, Azul tries to do his usual schmoozing with her, asking about a new dish. Soni knows that Azul would never give out free food to her without a catch, so she just escapes ASAP.
When Malleus comes around at night, Happiny comes out to greet him with a cheer of, "Mr. Horns!" The baby gives him his welcoming hug.
Malleus: "Little one, how are you able to speak?"
Happiny: "I drank a thing and then I could talk! It came from someone that I didn't know, so Mama and Daddy got angry at me for that."
Malleus waves a hand over her stomach to check for any ailments, but thankfully, there were none. They spend time walking around at night and just enjoy the other's presence.
Deuce, during this entire thing, is on Cloud 9.
He's very happy to know how much Happiny really calls him her Daddy and the fact that she cares about him as much as she does make him combust with feelings. Deuce knows that he can go overboard with Happiny and protect her, but it's very hard to not be when the little Pokemon was a part of his growth as a person in NRC.

Karl Heisenberg As A Dad Headcanons
Tumblr media
Request: Would you happen to have any wholesome Dad!Heisenberg HCs? 👉🏻👈🏻 Your writing is absolutely wonderful btw! ❤️
Oh my goodness thank you so much my lovely!!! This is such a sweet request <3
If you enjoy, please comment and reblog!
(Gif credit goes to: @robotoco-fanart​, character and Resident Evil do not belong to me, all rights and credit goes to its creator)
OKAY OKAY OKAY 
softdadsoftdadsoftdadsoftsoftsoft
At first, the man literally has no idea what to do with a kid. His idea of looking after children is to just to just let them go wild so they can go live in trees or whatever.
So, when his daughter first arrives into his arms at the factory, the first thing that pops into Karl’s head is whether he can ship the poor thing off to go live with Donna and her house of dolls because he thinks a baby would cramp his style too much.
Much deeper down inside though, right down at the fragmented shards that nestled and poked at the bottom of his heart, he was also worried for the kid. He knew he couldn’t give them a proper life. Heck, he could barely look after himself with his crazy family around. How was he supposed to protect a kid from Mother Miranda?
Although everyone was sure the frown on his face when he first saw the kiddo was one of distaste, in reality he was just really sad because he believed he could never be the father this child deserved.
Then one day, he decides to take a break from experimenting on soldats down in the basement levels of his factory to go up and check on the kiddo, mainly just to make sure Donna hasn’t let her crawl out of her crib and eat any important old documents or blueprints he left lying around his bedroom’s cabinet. But when he goes into the room, peering down with those falling glasses on the bridge of his nose into the little cot by the corner window, he finds himself scared.
For the first time in his life, something pains through his chest. But this time it isn’t horror, or arrogance, or repugnance, or fear anger hatred loneliness - no, this thing was warm, running jolts around his stomach until he felt almost queasy with the power of it.
Love. What he felt, for the first time in his life, was love. His little kiddo looked up at him with these big, kind puppy eyes - the same colour as his, and reached up to wrap her little pudgy fingers around his coarse, shaking thumb that leant on the wood.
And boom, that was it. Game over for vengeful Heisenberg. Cue protective dad mode.
(Although he was a little less certain when the little trickster grabbed his sunglasses from off his face, but that’s okay. He can make a new pair of those any time. But her, she was irreplaceable in his heart.)
Okay, but can you just imagine Karl holding his little daughter in like a little knitted blanket, coddled up against his ragged chest as he rocks her with tears in his eyes omg???
As kiddo grows up, there’s a protective ring of Lycans standing guard around the outskirts of the factory’s fields at all times, 24/7. No one from the village is allowed in or out under any business, which is where the rumour of the Lords being like vampires or werewolves begins (although sometimes Karl will pop down into the town and spend some time spreading rumours at the inn just because he likes to see people’s faces when they realise he is THE werewolf Heisenberg their family have told them never to go near.)
Kiddo isn’t allowed to go out anywhere near the village either unless Karl comes with her. When she’s young, he’ll have massive coats on the two of them so they don’t freeze in the snow that dusts the rocky ground with its tendrils, carrying kiddo on his hip. If she’s a bit older, he has an arm tight around her shoulder so she’s tucked just inside the edge of his trench coat, and he growls at any person that dares to look at her for longer than two seconds.
He spends a long time trying to make her first word dad - he sees it as like a source of pride that it should be. Sometimes he’ll sit her down on a workbench and just stare down at her all seriously, until his mouth drops open and he pulls a silly face to make her laugh. Then, when he works, he keeps on just repeating ‘dadda’ or ‘come on kiddo, you can say it’ but ends up being so annoyed when her first word is her trying to say Angie lmao.
For like a week he disappears, and Donna becomes worried about what he’s doing, and why there’s no noise or sound from him except smoky tendrils of steam and licks of fire bellowing out from the belly of the factory every so often. Turns out, as he sneaks in to kiss his daughter on the forehead one late night while she’s sleeping, and takes a moment to hang it over her cot, he was making a little mobile of two wolves chasing the sun and moon.
Since our man ‘works from home’, when kiddo gets to become a bit older he invites her down to learn the tricks of the trade with him. Mostly this just involves her sitting on a stool down in his office room with a bored looking face as he wildly and animatedly throws shards of metal into the pictures of Alcina and Miranda, explaining why she should never go near them.
In the end they’re both kind of knackered, so by the time lunch rolls through they’ve both laid down on a bench and fallen asleep on each other’s shoulders.
Although he’s not the best at showing affection, he is trying, he really is. This usually comes through as him reading bedtime stories to his kiddo, lying down on the duvet next to her and nearly shoving the poor child out of the bed. He totally gets coerced into doing silly voices for all the characters, and although he pretends to groan and roll his eyes he gets way too into it.
Usually, though, he’s the one to fall asleep first. Kiddo usually wakes up to find her dad still asleep against the headboard, with the book collapsed on the floor and Karl’s hat hanging half over his face as he snores.
When she’s younger, and Karl doesn’t want to go to family meetings, he’ll dress her up in his long coat and hat that hangs over her eyes and sends her off, laughing his ass off the whole while at the way the frayed fabric ends trail across the floor as she tries to walk.
He says Alcina is so tall anyway she wouldn’t notice the difference.
Most of the time he just takes her with her though, because despite how gruff and how much of a lone wolf he pretends to be he has pretty bad separation anxiety. She’ll just sit on his knee as he makes her laugh by pretending to mimic Miranda, telling everyone to shut up anytime she starts babbling, giving her his full attention.
He also says the babbling makes more sense than anything Alcina has ever said, which ends up with poor Donna holding the baby while the two of them tussle about the pews.
Also please imagine Donna roping him into doing tea parties.
He’s not a great teacher, so Moreau steps in. Heck, sometimes even Karl will be sitting next to his daughter on the floor in confusion because he has no idea what algebraic fractions are.
His daughter is the most important thing in the world to him, and he will do everything in his power to protect her from the outside world.

I started a little Twitter project 20 days ago, and it's been consuming me, but it's all good, I'm fine. I'M FINE. I just thought it would be a great and fun way to get some education on what's happened in the last 11 years. Yes, it's focused on Louis (because we're WHIPPED AF, people) but where there's a Louis, there's a Harry, so- same thing. i will not start a harry account, or maybe next year if i manage to keep up with louis' until i complete it full circle.
ANYWAY, the reason for this post was me finding some possible clothes sharing shenanigans in the middle of August 2014. People had made the connection already, and even question it, I'm not claiming to be the first one, but I hadn't seen it in an organized manner so... here we go!
Tumblr media
/POSSIBLE SCENARIO: I think it's Louis' hoodie, and Harry just grabbed it. Oh, but not because they share a closet or anything, they barely talk to each other let alone share a living space, ha-ha. It was because Harry was on the tour bus before going to the gym, and as you know, Louis used to live in the tour bus, obviously, so his sweater was just lying around and Harry was chilly from the rain and he was like "this will do", and then Louis came back to the bus and was like "where is me jumpah?!" and then when he found out Harry had worn it the whole day, he was mad, and so he put it through three washes and four drying cycles to get the stench of his mortal enemy off it, and so it shrunk a bit. /end crack
Now, seriously...
WARNING: This post will end in a DEBUNK. yes i started this post and when i was almost done BOOM a photo debunking the whole shit so enjoy the ride
Tumblr media
Meme by meme queen @justmybeautifulthings.
✨ Beautiful context under the cut! ✨
It's the morning of August 12 2014 in Washington DC and Harry goes out for a run in the pouring rain! Or did it start raining after he'd started his run? It's an important question. Anyway, fans spot him and he agrees to take a cute photo with them.
Tumblr media
Since apparently a run is not enough exercise for a day, he goes to Soul Cycle (it's a chain of indoor cycling gyms, if you're new to the fandom and, like me, thought they were only fancy gyms (which- they are), and apparently H had some sort of promo thing going on with them (haven't looked too much into it)) for MORE EXERCISE! He then gets stalked from Soul Cycle down to his hotel garage by a bunch of "fans". He did not want to take photos and they got mad, and he was so gracious about it all, we don't deserve him. Anyway, here's a post explaining the situation, it was kinda gross. They managed to snap two photos despite him saying no, and this one was one of them:
Tumblr media
Then later that night, he was out and about in Georgetown, and took a couple of pics with fans (they have both deleted their twitter accounts by now).
Tumblr media
After that, he went back to his hotel and there were probably hundreds of fans waiting for him there because there are hundreds of pics like these ones:
Tumblr media
The girl in the first photo is the same girl from the stalker group that talked to him earlier that day. Again, the fact that Harry went ahead and spent a good chunk of time taking photos late at night, even after most likely the same group of people disrespected him earlier, and then they were still there waiting for him to come back... it's just... we don't deserve him, he's way too nice.
Why am I talking about all this if I wanted to talk about the stupid grey sweater? I guess, maybe, because in my head he didn't want photos in that sweater? Nah... I guess it's because I'm more and more impressed by the kind of person Harry is and I guess I wanted it archived. Whatever.
So! People made the connection of this sweater to Louis wearing a very similar one at a show in Dublin on May 24 2014.
Tumblr media
I was on the fence, because the light grey on the sweater looked darker, but then on photos with a lot of light it looked like the same grey on Harry's sweater, because even if it's a shitty photo, it seems like there was a lot of light in that parking lot. I was ready to CLOWN!
Then I was like... well, it does look longer on Harry than on Louis, so that doesn't make much sense, but I was still in very much clown mode.
Then on August 23 2014 Louis met some fans somewhere in Dallas late at night, and that's when my brain reminded me of Harry's sweater on the 12th.
Tumblr media
Yes, let's appreciate Louis' perfect silly face. How he manages to look this extremely cute is beyond me. Also, his hair. And his pants.
ENOUGH SIMPING.
Ehem, the sweater. SO! Now it looks even shorter on Louis, but it IS the same sweater he wore on stage some 3 months ago, I'm 99.28% sure. Yes, it's probably been washed several times so my made-up crack story from the beginning of the post might not be that far-fetched.
I clowned and clowned and was already claiming this was the same fucking sweater. It belonged to Louis and Harry borrowed it. Yes. Again, hence my crack story from the beginning. So I started making this post to be like "lalala this is cute it's a silly sweater, it might be the same one, or it might be a very similar one but i think it's the same one, because they're disgusting and share everything lalala".
Then this photo from the morning of August 13 2014 jumped at me:
Tumblr media
There are two huge letters on the back of the sweater. And...
Tumblr media
Yeah. No big ass letters on Louis' sweater.
I'm pretty confident Harry is the person wearing the sweater on that photo and not the person with the white shirt, but we will never know for sure unless we somehow get better pics.
Now, according to this post, they think the sweater is from Soul Cycle. I couldn't find any image from the back, so I'm not sure if it would have had those letters. Or maaaybe the sweater he wore the first time was actually Louis' and then this one was his... LMAO. Nah, nah, I'm not that terrible. I'm gonna for debunking this.
So there it is, not the same sweater, but the same viiiibes. ✌️
P.S.: I love debunking stuff, it's my passion. However, I really did not want to debunk this one, but then it just laid out itself in front of me, so fiiine, I guess it's debunked. Bye.

Bear cuddles
Henry Cavill x reader
Word count: 1.581
Warnings: bit of expressive language + pure and utter fluff <3
I just got my period and I needed to write myself some comfort fluff to pull myself through. 
Ps. nesting is one of my favourite things to do when on my period party :3 Try it, do it!
(Link to my Masterlist)
Tumblr media
It was Friday afternoon and you all but wanted to cry, your heavy legs carrying you up the stairs to your apartment at an excruciatingly slow pace.
Your neighbours were already well into their weekend celebrations as you heard their loud music booming through the hallway, the thin walls definitely not managing to silence their ill choice of mumble rap “music”. You sighed, digging through your pocket to find your keys. Hmm. No keys. Your bag perhaps?
Shrugging off the heavy bag from your shoulder you squatted down on the floor to dig through the gazillion little things that made out to be your ‘bare necessities’ while on the road. Some basic make-up, writing gear, a usb drive, a tiny sewing kit, a spare pair of leggings, a few peppermints…but ..no keys.
Darn it!
When did you last see them? Your mind was a bit of a blur as you had practically been on zombie-mode ever since getting up. You had been having a rough night as you had just gotten your period. And the many days of working late this week sure didn’t help either. But this? THIS?!
Just your luck.
You could only remember pulling the door closed this morning as you had to rush to the bus stop. Wait. Rewind a bit. Pulling..the door..closed. Oh FUCK. You left your keys inside! How did this always happen to you?
Annoyed with your own stupidity you pulled your phone out of your pocket - thankfully you didn’t lose THAT - and opened your contacts list. Scrolling through the many names your panic started to take a hold of you. Your best friend was out of town. Your ex had recently returned your key. The spare key in your office was inaccessible as the office was already closed. So..who else had a key? Did you really have to call your landlord? Or one of those key repair services. Oh this was bad.
Scrolling further down your eye fell on his name.
“Henrybear.”
A smile crept over your tired face as you remembered the night you had met Henry. The two of you had been quite drunk. Or should you say..really drunk? You two had been soo drunk that this one-night-stand of you two had absolutely failed: you had both fallen asleep. It did however make for a pretty funny moment as you both woke up, neither one of you quite sure about what had happened. Like..did anything happen at all? Well, just to be sure, you had made up for it with a second, much improved round of morning sex. Followed by breakfast in bed. Followed by a whole day of lounging around in your underwear. Followed by many more hook-ups whenever either of you needed it. And it was just what you needed since anything more serious was just not happening as your busy work schedules didn’t allow for this thing called ‘dating’.
It had been a week ago since you had last seen him and..you DID give him a key beforehand so he could let himself in while you were working late.
Should you call him?
Your finger hovered over the call button as you hesitated for a moment. What if he wanted to have sex? You definitely didn’t. Gosh. All you wanted to do was hide away in a blanket and pillow fort and watch bad movies with a large bottle of wine and pizza. Or..what if he wasn’t in town? Or if he was with someone else? Or…
Your thumb accidentally slid over the green button and any further trepidation was thrown out of the window. Your faith was decided upon as he answered after a few rings, his baritone voice greeting you with an upbeat tone.
‘Y/n! How are you darling?’
‘Hen…oh I’m such a fool…’ You started, your voice much more fragile than you wished it to be.
‘Hey, you okay? Something wrong?’ He asked. You sighed, feeling sorry for even bothering him with your own stupidity.
‘Oh it’s just so silly. I think I locked myself out this morning..can’t find my keys in my bag..and..now I can’t get into my apartment and..’ Your voice became more quivering as you rattled on. Gosh these hormones.
‘It’s okay, it’s okay. Shh. Calm down love. No need to panic.’ His voice was soothing like honeyed tea, your heartbeat immediately calming as you heard his feet echo through what probably was his hallway.
‘And good news. I have your keys right here.’ You could almost feel his comforting smile upon you, through the phone. You nodded and muttered: ‘Ok. I’ll..eh..come get ‘em. You’re at home?’
‘Oh no need to sweetheart! I’ll come over to you. It doesn’t sound like you need any further excursions for the day. You stay put and I’ll be there in fifteen.’
After silently obliging, you slumped against the wall, your head barely registering as a pair of feet halted right next to you some fifteen minutes later.
‘Hey you.’ Henry smiled lovingly, holding out your key and dangling it in his hand before pushing it into the lock and opening your door. A sound you didn’t know you liked to hear, until just now.
’You look like you are in dire need of wine, a bubble bath, pizza..and..eh..a hug, perhaps?’ You crawled back on your feet and looked into those ocean blue eyes, forgetting all prior objections you had for inviting Henry, his big warm body standing there, ready to be hugged. ‘Come on then.’ He ushered, holding out his arms a bit wider so you could slide right in, your face melting into his thick wool sweater, the scent of cedar wood, wool and some undefinable muskiness welcoming you.
‘Oh I’m sorry for this Hen. And you really didn’t have to come all the way over..’ You sulked as you both walked into your apartment. ‘And here they are..damn.’ You pointed at your keys that still lay on the cupboard in your hallway. Henry snickered and flung his backpack from his shoulder.
As if sensing you were not in a talkative mood he remained quiet, looking into the cosy apartment and waiting for further instructions. You looked over your shoulder at him and sighed. You couldn’t really send him away now, could you?
‘Is pizza okay for you too? With your crazy diets and all?’
‘I’m on the off season right now. So. Absolutely. Give me all the pizza you can get.’ He smiled, taking that as an invitation for him to stay for a little while longer, his hand now moving to close the door behind you two and placed his backpack in the corner.
‘Oh and I brought some “medicine” for you to indulge on.’ He slipped a bottle of your favourite wine out of his backpack, smiling like a proud puppy as you hummed in delight.
‘Henn..oh…’ You swooned, caressing his arm and feeling the annoyances of the day slowly slip into the background. Why was this man such a sweetheart? You couldn’t quite fathom what he was doing here with you, but right now you also didn’t wish for him to be anywhere else. You crushed yourself back against his large chest as you enveloped him in a tight hug, your eyes tearful with relief, the stress finally flowing out of your body.
Henry didn’t object, he just smoothed his large hands over your back in slow circles, slowly rubbing your sore muscles as you cried your tears.
‘I’m probably totally ruining your Friday night.’ You swallowed, nuzzling his wool sweater.
‘Hardly. Otherwise it would have been quite similar, but then without a sweet female counterpart to cuddle with. Pizza..a movie..wine..’ He shrugged and pulled away a bit, thumbing away the tears that were staining your cheeks.
‘How about you sit down and order pizza. Then I’m going to make you a little nest.’ He smiled.
A nest?
Not quite sure what he meant, but ever curious, you slowly nodded and walked to the kitchen island, sitting down on one of the bar stools as you ordered the pizza. While scrolling through the selection of pizzas you heard the rustling of fabrics along with soft socked footfalls to and from the living room. What was he UP to?
After placing your order you went out to look for Henry, finding he had made quite literally..a nest, your bed now stuffed with pillows and blankets.
‘Tada!’ He grinned, patting in the centre, ushering you to crawl in. You couldn’t help but giggle. ‘You are such a dork.’ You sniffled, gingerly crawling onto the mass of blankets before dropping yourself in the pillows. It was perfect. ‘Now, don’t move!’ He said while he left the room again, leaving you once more a tad confused before he returned with your laptop in one hand and two glasses topped with your favourite wine in the other. Reaching out the glasses of wine you quickly moved forward to take them from him and placed them on the night stand, his large body now crawling right next to you, making your cosy nest complete.
Soft fluffy nest? Check.
Wine? Check.
Cute bear to cuddle with? Check.
‘Netflix and cuddle?’ He smiled, opening your laptop. You giggled, nodding in agreement.
And Netflix and cuddle? Definitely check.
‘Now come here then, lovely one.’ He hummed, sitting back and opening his arms so you could crawl into his chest.
That night was probably one of the best nights you ever had. And “nesting”, had become of your new favourite Friday night activities, with Henry.

IK YOU'VE WROTE DRABBLES IN A CURRECT AU OF YUE AND ZUKO AND I WAS WONDERING IF YOU COULD WRITE ONE OF THEM QUARANTINING TOGETHER IM PICTURING YUE WITH CANDLES AND INCENSE AND I LOVE WRITING IN CAPS IM ALWAYS SCREAMING IN MY MIND
When your mind is always screaming-
Okay-okay-okay, but like, before the drabble, there is so much to dissect. Like, imagine, Zuko and Yue, quarantining.
THE POTENTIAL-
You know Zuko (at first) hates the idea of working from home solely because he thinks working from home is going to be such a pain (Daddy CEO Zuko over here).
Imagine his surprise when Zuko realizes HOW MUCH WORK HE GETS DONE AT HOME, ONLINE.
Zuko’s mind - blown.
He gets to stay in the comfort of his home office, with Yue, with little human interaction, and STILL get shit done? Amazing.
Yue, while we think she would be thriving, would lowkey be struggling.
I headcanon that Yue and Iroh have a joint tea shop and bakery~
And while Yue is our little’ shy baby, she still loves being around people and making them smile. So this ‘stay-at-home’ stuff is super tough. 
The saving grace? Yue can still do ‘pick-up only orders,’ and we know our girl would refuse to let Uncle Iroh go to work and risk getting sick.
Our Queen manages the bakery and tea shop herself while Zuko helps because he loves seeing Yue take pride in the things she loves.
And when her shift at work is all done, Zuko picks her up, and they go home together; she right away gets into ‘comfy mode-’
Tumblr media
No pants and Zuko’s sweatshirt, Yue had the softest smile on her face as she danced around the kitchen. Her hips swayed to the music that boomed through their small speaker, swinging the spoon in her hand around like it was a long strand of ribbon instead. 
She was so lost in her little world, humming to herself as she tiptoed to their fridge, without a doubt to grab some ice cream, she failed to take in how Zuko leaned against the doorframe, grinning at the sight.
Seeing Yue all dolled up, hair did and dressed fancy was a beautiful sight, but seeing Yue like this- hair in a messy bun, wearing one of his old sweatshirts with some plain old panties was just as charming.
In fact, everything she did, spoke, touched, seemed ten times better. From the cute kitchen utensils with kawaii faces printed to the abnormal amount of pillows in the living room. Just in case they had to build a ‘fort.’ Something Zuko snorted at first. Still, after a night of too much beer, Zuko and Sokka did make one—waking up the next morning completely confused.
Zuko lived in this apartment for how long, but it never did feel like home until Yue entered the picture.
Because she is home.
The moon high in the sky, the vanilla candles Yue lit casting shadows along the walls, Zuko still couldn’t get over how utterly silly (but adorable) she looked with those cat slippers on her feet.
With ease, Yue shut the freezer door with her hip, stuffing the spoon into her mouth. Her hands were eagerly tugging on the cold container of ice cream to eat, no, more like inhale.
And as the container popped open, Yue’s eyes lighting up at the sight of that sweet, frozen, delicious chocolate, she finally took notice of Zuko. A little peep, cheeks turning pink as she was caught binging on a late-night snack, and Zuko chuckled.
“I guess I can assume you aren’t sharing?” Zuko teased, and Yue pulled the spoon from her mouth, nibbling on her lip, “Only if I have to.”
“You’re such a brat, come here.” Zuko pestered, stepping forward to grab the ice cream. And right away, Yue dodged, sticking her tongue out, “Make me.” 
“Love-”
“Zuko.”
“Love.”
“Zuko,” Yue repeated once more, her eyes glimmering with a mischievousness as she continued to step back, hiding the ice cream behind her back.
“If you want it, come and get it.”
And Zuko grinned.
He loved a good challenge.

the whole otp questions list for prinxiety (please) 👀👀
1. Who has the cutest tickle laugh?
Ooh, I know this is a stupid answer but like... both? Virgil does not like his laugh and so to hear him proudly laughing loudly is always stunning and never fails to make Roman laugh too.
But also, Roman’s laugh is always booming loud belly laughs. It’s a good laugh but whenever Virgil finds that perfect spot and Roman starts just giggling. Like that incontrollable childish bubbly giggles! Nothing like his normal booming confident laughs. Virgil genuinely dies when Roman just gives up and giggles his heart out. 
2. Who is ticklish in unusual places and where would that be?
Roman has ticklish palms of his hands. Virgil found out accidentally as he just fidgets with whatever is close to him all the time. So he was just messing about with Roman’s fingers (”You look like a baby!”/”sHUT UP RO!”) but then Roman just starts giggling. They spent the next five minutes of exploring that spot as Roman was just as amazed that your hands could be ticklish.
3. Who gets cheer-up tickles?
Obviously... Roman! I know Virgil is the obvious answer but I feel like he would rather someone relax him out when stressed or sad rather than attack him. You can’t tell me that after Roman sulks out of an audition that he felt didn’t go well and gets all pouty and sad puppy, that Virgil doesn’t just immediately attack him with pit tickles. Virgil will chase him back to the car while tickling him.
4. Who takes advantage of the other one getting their arms stuck while taking off their shirt?
Ah man! I feel like I’m just answering both for all of these! Roman would so deliberately pretend to get his arms stuck so he could show off his “hero’s physique” and Virgil doesn’t even look up to tickle his tummy. But now, he’s done that so often, that he now waits and literally hovers around Virgil when he gets dressed so the second his top is lifted, he can get revenge tickles. So, both? But Roman pretends to get stuck the most by far!
5. How did they discover each other’s ticklishness?
Hmm, good question. I feel like Roman, the ultimate himbo, would just outright say it without realising the power he is giving Virgil. He would probably just be complaining about a scene or costume in a play and he just casually mentioned just how much it tickled. “Oh Virge, it was horrible. But then no one else had issues, so maybe I’m just like mega ticklish or something!”. Virgil would then turn tickle monster and attack immediately. (or maybe that was all Roman’s plan all along...)
Virgil was definitely just an accident. Maybe Roman was trying to give him a massage to help him relax and he was just going too lightly. Maybe they were cuddling during a move night and he was absentmindedly playing with his hoodie zip and Virgil had to spend the entire film trying so hard to not giggle. 
6. Who can’t take tickle bites?
Virgil. Oh absolutely Virgil. He just cannot stand any form of teasing! He’s the cool emo storm cloud! He can’t blush, how dare you! So any ‘tickle monster’ and ‘tickly bites’ and nomming just sends him into hysterics. It’s gotten to the point where Roman can even just slightly bend down while tickling him and he’s screaming begging ‘no tickly bites!’. 
7. Who has to be tickle-forced out of bed in the morning?
Virgil again. He’s a sleepy boy! But also he sleeps like a log, nothing in this world can wake him up. Usually, Roman will let him sleep as long as it takes as he knows how rubbish his sleep can be. But it’s usually around lunch is when he puts his foot down and needs to wake him up to eat. He always starts at his feet. Not the most ticklish spot but enough to wake up Virgil. It gets to a point where Virgil starts wearing socks to bed but Roman makes very little work of those. 
8. Who gives up in a tickle fight?
Virgil. He’s just too ticklish! His first instinct is to immediately flop over and hope that Roman takes pity. But when it becomes clear that Roman isn’t giving up then Virgil finally fights back and he fights back viciously. But his first instinct is always to look like a puppy and get all pathetic. It never works. 
9. Who is in danger of getting hurt when attacking the other?
Virgil. It’s never been enough that he’s gotten bruises or anything but Roman is a squirmer. He thrashes and wiggles and tries to break free all the time. Tickling Roman is like trying to tickle a hurricane of flailing limbs. He’s definitely caught Virgil a few times but never enough that couldn’t be fixed with the cheesiest most flustering get-well-kiss. 
10. Who always provokes the other into tickling them and how?
Roman. See question 4 haha. But also I just think he appreciates the silliness of tickling and how fun it is. He likes being able to see a sillier side to Virgil. And he’s most ticklish under his arms which is such an easy spot to provoke Virgil to attack. The shirt thing. Lifting his arms up high to reach the back of a shelf. Needing to keep in shape. He never even needs to tease Virgil into attacking. Virgil just sees a ticklish spot open and vulnerable and tickle monster mode is engaged.

Yo lemmie get uhh... Taddy x Hosty? Please... Feel free to send a drabble request for anything back as payback
1969...
The ballroom was in a more mellow mode that night. It'd been a long day of practicing for the tours. Only a couple of couples were still dancing, simply for the love of it, but their pace had greatly slowed. Every once in a while, they'd stop as a sour note rant out from the organ.
"No," the organist grumbled. With a shake of his head, he lifted his stiff fingers and got back to work. Maybe a little bit of Bach, instead. Thaddeus never needed an excuse for a Bach break.
So far, so good for the first few bars, but then he felt it happen again. His long fingers tensed, locking in place as his hands painfully cramped. Letting out a yelp, he shoved down on the keys in frustration. "Blast it, Morgan," he scolded himself under his breath. Up above him, the tiny pipe banshees chittered to one another worriedly in their high, indecipherable voices.
He looked up at them and let out a heavy sigh. "No, I'm fine, really. It just... happens occasionally. Especially around my death day."
Before he could get back to work, he felt the presence of someone standing over him, and he turned to see his fellow organist, Victor Geist. Victor was smiling in his kind, apologetic way. Thaddeus couldn't decide whether he liked Victor for his sweet, charming personality, or if he loathed him for the fact he had to share the instrument with him. Why couldn't the others just have faith that he could do this on his own?
"Yes, Victor?"
"Hallo!" Victor waggled his fingers in greeting. "Guten abend, Herr Morgan. I was wondering..." He glanced back at the dancers, who were watching him expectingly. One gave him the "go on!" motion with his hand. "If you would like to switch off... er, take a break for the night? You've been at this all day, ja? You've earned some rest."
Thaddeus scowled. "But I-- I'm not..." Looking over his shoulder, he could see the dancers watching him imploringly. With a huff of defeat, he got up from his bench. "Yes, yes, I suppose I will retire for the evening. Thank you, Mr. Geist."
Victor tipped his tophat to him. Thaddeus brushed past, too frustrated with himself to acknowledge him.
Gripping his cloak tightly around him, he walked down the main hall, not really heading to any particular place. He just needed to be away from the dancers and Victor. It wasn't fair! His whole life, he had shuffled from gig to gig, paid in table scraps and the occasional cot. His skill was never truly appreciated, serving as a novelty, background noise for a party, a decoration to be pointed at by some over-painted fop in a bad wig. Things were supposed to be different here. (Granted, he had to admit the mainly Victorian souls of the Mansion were a welcome bit of prudishness compared to the Rococo clientele he'd catered to in life. He'd rather be background noise to simple dancing than... certain other activities that intoxicated groups were known to partake in.)
It wasn't until he let his mind clear for a moment that he realized he was following the sound of clanging piano keys. Music always guided him. Even rhythmic pounding rain and booming thunder-- nature's perfect orchestra, if you asked him-- had lured him to the Mansion. That was back when he'd been reduced to nothing more than a faint wisp, a wandering spirit who had forgotten himself. Then he found the organ, and it was like he'd been reborn...
Well, that wasn't quite true. At least, not entirely.
If he was being honest, it wasn't just the organ. There had been a lot of pampering and therapy in-between by the ghost who'd found him. Thaddeus felt his cheeks burning at the memory of that deep, soothing voice. Murmurs of comfort had washed around and through him like a gentle wave, the tone understood before the words were.
Blasted noose-neck, convincing him to stay...
Feet moving of their own accord, he rounded a corner and found himself in a room he'd never seen before.
Across the back was a large window. Thin branches blocked most of the view, but he could tell it faced part of the side yard that wasn't dotted with graves. In front of the left side of the window was a cushioned chair with a violin nestled in it. A stand with sheet music stood in front. On the far right side was a cello. In between the two was the piano he'd been hearing. An oddly familiar shadow was cast on the bench and floor. The arms raised up, then shakily lowered, and fingers pressed into the keys. Thaddeus listened for a moment, until the tune became more defined.
Ah, the "Screaming Song," or "Grim, Grinning Ghosts," the same song he'd been playing all day. He had to admit, he rather liked it. Dirges were fun.
After listening to a few unsteady tries, he found himself taking pity on the pianist. "Hold on... Here, let me help you... Where's your hand?" He reached out. "Place your fingers like this..." He placed the invisible, but no less solid to him, hands on the keys. "Don't be afraid to make noise. Be firm about it. The piano won't bite."
"Are we so sure?" A deep voice joked. "I mean, in this house..."
Thaddeus leapt back. "Beauregard!" he sputtered. "What have you been doing there this whole time?!"
"Practicing." The Ghost Host appeared before him on the bench. He grinned at Thaddeus, his green eye sparkling with mischief. "I do thank you for the helpful pointers. I never learned how to play when I was alive, you know."
Thaddeus stood there, not exactly sure what emotion was going through him. Not really anger, because he really didn't have anything to be angry about. Maybe just surprise at who was there. Annoyed surprise.
Beau ignored any frustration Thaddeus was exuding. "When you wrap yourself in your cloak like that, you look like an upright bat. It's adorable."
Thaddeus only pulled his cloak tighter around himself and scowled. "Were you plotting your little surprise this entire time?"
Beauregard's smile dipped and he shook his head. "No. It was simply frightfully good timing, although I do apologize for the scare. I shouldn't have. I know how hard you've been working, and it must be stressful, trying to perfect your routine." He swiveled back around, not playing, but noiselessly laying his fingertips on the keys. "All I have is a short script to memorize, but you have to be visible all day, playing perfectly hour after hour. I can't even get through a third of this song without a mistake. I admire your skill... Daresay, I'm jealous of it. It's a gift. I really can't stress enough how much I appreciate you sharing it with us."
Thaddeus' grip on his cloak loosened, and his shoulders dropped. Why had he been so tense? Beauregard never meant any harm... ever! "Oh... It's... It's alright, really. You took me by surprise, that's all." He stepped forward to get a look at Beau's hands. "Spread your fingers just a little bit... That's it. You don't want to keep them too close, or you risk pressing between the keys and hitting both."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome. And thank you for the compliments." Thaddeus sat down next to Beau. "They're not really all that deserved, though. I kept messing up earlier, and Victor had to take over."
"It's been a long day." Beau went back to actually playing the piano, keeping the advice in mind. "You're allowed some rest, you know. That's why there's two of you. Remaining visible while manipulating physical objects all day is difficult for the sturdiest of spirits. It's one of the reasons I stay invisible."
Thaddeus wondered what the other reasons could be, but before he could ask, a sharp pain took over his hands and he doubled over to clasp them to his stomach. He couldn't stop his yelp, but held back further cries by wincing through his teeth.
"Taddy!"
"My hands keep cramping. I thought--I thought this sort of thing wasn't supposed to happen after you're dead."
"You'd be surprised." Beau tugged one of Thaddeus' hands free. "Here... Let me have it a moment..." Gently, he began massaging the organist's stiff palm. Once it opened fully, he started working on pressure points, and from there, individual fingers. "I'm so sorry, Taddy. If I had known, I could have gotten you out of the ballroom sooner."
"I didn't want to leave. I shouldn't have to give up my seat! All my life I worked towards having a real audience, an audience who would appreciate my talents! And once again, I'm brushed aside. I'm background noise to a bunch of spoiled brats!"
The hand got away from Beau as Thaddeus gesticulated wildly in his ranting. He reached up, grabbing the organist's wrists and bringing them back down. "Taddy... Taddy... It's almost your death day. Your mind isn't in a good place. Shh... Calm yourself, man. Shh..."
Thaddeus' blue eyes were pale and wild, but he found his grounding as he stared at the Host's scarred, thin face. He let out a strangled sob. "I'm sorry. It hurts so much, Beau!"
"I know... I know. I've got you," Beau soothed. "You've got me. You've always got me." He began working on the other hand now. As he massaged Thaddeus' palm, he started to hum a low, soft tune.
After a minute of this, the organist felt as if he were drifting away, floating into a violet ether with the beautiful tone. Every once in a while, a push at a pressure point would bring him back half way so he wouldn't get lost. Could one have an out of body experience without a body? He giggled at the notion.
Beau paused. "Did I tickle you?"
"No, no, just a silly thought."
Beau finished with the last finger, then curled them back into a fist, and held it between his hands for a moment. Then, slowly, with a flicker of hesitation, he raised it to his lips, and kissed the index knuckle. Still not letting go, he clasped Thaddeus' hand to his chest, over his heart. "Promise you won't leave."
Thaddeus stared at his hand, and then at Beau. "I promise." A beat. "Could you... Could you play for me?"
Beau declined his head. "Your wish is my command, maestro." He finally let go and swiveled around once more. Thaddeus laid his head on Beau's shoulder as he played, never hesitating to point out what he was doing wrong.

nct dream and what games they would play on Roblox
Tumblr media
I think I’m pretty certified to say this bc I have been playing Roblox with my lovely friend every morning for almost a week or 2 straight so... yeah. also, someone has probably done this before and I just wanted to say that this is my own original ideas and thoughts about what games they would play in Roblox :) anyways, let’s get into it losers.
[also, big thanks to my amazing wonderful good friend ren aka @dreamzenct​ for making this adorable header for me!! love u lots also u guys need to check out her blog she is... amazing at writing <3 mwah :D]
Tumblr media
mark lee ↬ story game and/or silent assassin
yes, I can see mark playing some dumb ass story game like cruise, vacation, break in, etc.
him and jaem would just spend hours mocking how silly the story games can be sometimes, and even though they criticize the games sometimes, they can’t help but to feel drawn to how silly they were LMAO
would get upset when he would die from something ridiculous in the game... also calling it now that mark is also terrible at parkour. idk I just... feel like he would mess up the momentum of jumping onto stuff or would cut the jump short.
jaemin would literally just laugh at how bad mark is. “mark... I hate to say it, but you utterly SUCK at video games. you’re even worse when you play fps games.”
“yah jaemin... u don’t want me to buy you dinner tonight?”
yeah that gets jaemin to shut up right away LMAOO.
going onto why he would play silent assassin... yeah hyuck would force him to play this wbk this would happen eventually.
would be a not so great assassin at first, but I feel like after a few hours of playing, he would get the hang of it. however, whenever he would be the target he would be killed RIGHT AWAY by whoever the assassin is... in conclusion: mark has no idea what he’s doing most of the time while playing that game SAHDJSADJASHJ
hyuck would troll him so hard about it, too, saying stuff like: “omg learn the controls next time!!” “man, you absolutely suck at getting the briefcases like??? THEY’RE MARKED FOR U DUMBO! HAHA, GET IT? UR NAME IS MARK AND I JUST SAID MARKED- okay I’ll stop now.”
yeah mark would def just end up banning hyuck after he trolls him 500 times and goes back to playing cute but silly story games with jaem.
huang renjun ↬ murder mystery
yes I am still on my renjun detective agenda bullshit!!!!
but honestly I can see renjun rocking everyone’s shit when he’s the guard and absolutely OBLITERATES the murderer.
would probably get angry when he yells at everyone else that the murder is in a room somewhere and no one ends up listening to him.
“GUYS HE’S IN THE GUARD OFFICE!!!” also yes he types in all caps at all times this is renjun we’re talking about here.
then he would end up getting killed by the murderer and would spectate everyone and just yells in chat about how stupid everyone was being.
“GUYS I SAID HE’S IN THE GUARD OFFICE!!! TF ARE U GUYS STUPID???”
also he would be a part of the troll trio containing him, hyuck, and lele. these 3 would be UNSTOPPABLE trolls on roblox and just any games they played on roblox in general.
he would get frustrated when hyuck would just run around him in murder mystery and end up distracting him as he tries to figure out where the murderer is. chenle would just shoot blindly and would end up running off somewhere alone to get killed by the murderer himself.
and yes, he would get on the other players for being terrible murderers and not having any technique for killing ppl on the game. “you guys suck!! do you guys even have a certain technique/strategy on how to kill ppl without getting caught on this game?!”
chenle and hyuck would just laugh their asses off on how serious renjun was about this game like... chill man it’s not that deep LMAO.
I can even see the younger members just pissing him off and teasing him so that eventually renjun just rage quits AHJDDHJAS. chenle would end up just screaming in renjun’s ear and renjun would slam his fist down on the desk in front of him and would just LEAP at chenle irl.
the other members wouldn’t be concerned when they hear a crash come from renjun’s room. they were used to hearing stuff like that from renjun’s room as he’ll occasionally want to just wrestle someone (mainly hyuck or chenle).
but yes, wbk that renjun would EXCEL at murder mystery and just mystery games in general in roblox.
lee jeno ↬ adventure games and/or flee the facility
I feel like jeno would love adventure games so much like??? idk he just seems to be into that type of stuff.
I don’t see him as a rage quitter tbh? like I feel like he’d be so chill with everything going on that he wouldn’t get as angry as renjun does while gaming LMAO
he would just listen to some chill lofi music and just finish quests left and right in his own little world. I can see hyuck just being a little meanie head and creeping up on jeno without him knowing, and yes, jeno would almost spill all of his water onto his laptop when donghyuck does so.
however.... I can TOTALLY see him playing flee the facility with the rest of the dreamies. I feel like he’d especially play it with jaemin bc the 2 of them would be RELENTLESS when they become the beast omg LMAOO
jeno would be all giggly just having a good time and then BOOM jaemin destroys him with his hammer and just drags jeno to one of his freezing capsules LMAOO
jaemin would just be like “jeno~? where are you~?” all creepy like and jeno would just be in a room somewhere using his AMAZING hacking skills to escape (yeah no he messes up at hacking a lot... SAHJDSADJ)
meanwhile, jeno as the beast would act all scary but it wouldn’t intimidate jaemin at all LMAO jaem would be like “HAHA COME AND GET ME LOSER!! OH WAIT, U CANT BC U CAN’T CRAWL UNDER STUFF HAHAAHA- oh shit wait he got me HELP!!”
even though jaem tries to act all tough, he ends up getting killed by the beast, aka jeno, every time jeno is the beast. yes, jeno is just too good at being the beast for his own good.
jaemin would do good, too, but I can see him being better at hacking than jeno. omg just imagine jaemin hacking something and he’s almost done and then SUDDENLY he’s boped on the head by jeno’s hammer and it scares him so badly.
however, I feel like jeno would rope jaemin into playing more adventure games with him and jaemin would def just complain the whole time about how long it takes to walk to get the items for quests. wbk jaem is a huge complainer, I mean, have you heard how much he complains about jisung not wanting to accept his love? LMAO
jeno would just be vibing, though, not even paying attention to jaemin’s complaining and just working on his quests in his time. we love a chill king.
lee donghyuck ↬ silent assassin
again... do I even have to explain my reasoning behind this?
hyuck literally plays Overwatch 24/7 until it’s almost 2 or 3 am at night... so why wouldn’t he do the same but with silent assassin on roblox instead??
I can see him just getting upset when he only gets 4th place in the free for all game mode. he’d be like “dammit not again!! ugh this guy just stole all my kills what the heck!?!”
obviously he would get better at the game bc he would play the shit out of it. he would probably play it 24/7 like he does with Overwatch and would hit level 40 in a few days.
I can see it now, his desk littered with empty redbull bottles as he tells himself he’ll only play one more round of silent assasin... yeah no that was a lie he ends up playing until he’s ready to pass out in his bed.
and ofc johnny would be like “bro wtf why are u so addicted to this game?? get some rest man.”
“no.... I need to... upgrade my weapons more.... I need... MONEY!”
I can also see him forcing mark to play this game with him but lemme tell you something... mark would absolutely suck at this game. I mean, ofc he would get better as time passed but he wouldn’t be as good as hyuck.
when he first was assigned assassin I can just hear him being like “omg how do I move?!?! WHAT SOMEONE JUST KILLED ME!!’
hyuck would just sigh and type in the chat “you suck man learn the controls next time 🙄”
“stfu troll u can’t say anything until u learn the controls for pubg” mark would say back and would accidentally get banned or something for his swearing SAHDASHDJA.
I feel like hyuck would get banned too bc I can DEF see him as a troll alongside chenle. would probably scream dramatically when someone would kill him on the game too and would be an AMAZING assassin.
he would def ambush mark any second he got to as he was the assassin and would probably get the most kills in every game mode. mark would end up rage quitting and then hyuck would say something about mark being such a pansy. (and yes, that’s how hyuck gets banned LMAO mark bans his trolling ass)
na jaemin ↬ where’s the baby and/or daycare
okay so I can def see jaemin forcing jisung to play where’s the baby with him just bc he considers jisung his child... yes jaem loves jisung so much that he’s convinced that he birthed him HJSADHADJ
jisung would always want to be the adult bc he REFUSES to be the baby (mainly bc jaem wants him to be the baby on the game every time)
jaemin would be like “omg lemme take care of u jisung!! omg NO DON’T CHOP OFF MY ARM WTF SUNGIE!?”
jisung would be ruthless while playing with jaemin... he would just want to kill jaemin all the time and jaemin would be frowning about it the entire time.
“you know what, sungie? I’ll let you kill me on this game bc of how much I love you 😚“
“ew no nvm I’m leaving 🤮”
however, I feel like jaemin would be good at the hide and seek mode for where’s the baby. he’d find jisung within SECONDS. I can just imagine jisung hiding in the bush or something and jaemin would just immediately KNOW that jisung would be in the bush like... idk maybe it’s his seventh sense (😏) 
also, his sixth sense is that he knows when jisung is hungry, sad, angry, annoyed, all of the above man. yes, he can just sense those things and honestly none of the other members in nct dream understand HOW he can do that. (renjun is convinced that jaem is from a completely different planet and is only here to baby jisung... I mean, he’s not wrong though??? LMAO)
for the reason why he plays daycare... yeah maybe it’s just an excuse to scare jisung with that creepy demon character LMAO. he knows how much of a scaredy cat jisung is, and just loves hearing jisung scream when the demon always spawns near him SHJDASJDH
jaemin knows all the ins and outs of daycare and just abt story games in general... and yes, jisung def eats the poisonous apple and ends up dying right after they escape the daycare SADJASHDJH
I can see jaemin and mark playing story games in their free time, and when one of the younger members join them, they just know it’s gonna be fun when they have no idea what’s going on :D (and when they eat something poisonous)
zhong chenle ↬ tycoon and/or a horror game
so wbk that this nerd would play a tycoon to make even more money than he has right now.
to be specific, he would probably be the richest person on the server and just taunt people with how much money he has.
“oh you guys want this??? a million dollars??? well.... okay I’ll give it to you... SIKE BITCH U THOUGHT!”
he would be the biggest troll ever I’m calling it now.
he would probably end up getting banned for laughing at another user crying about not having enough money on the tycoon game.
“awhhhh you don’t have as much money as me??? haha oh well not my problem 😎😎“ (yes chenle is an avid user of this emoji)
he would have to end up making a new roblox account bc of how he was banned and the guy who he made fun of would end up just chuckling behind his screen about it. (chenle wouldn’t care though LMAO he would still come back and rock that kid’s shit and be the richest person on the server)
I can also see him playing some scary game and roping jisung into it just to scare him shitless.
“OMG JISUNG WATCH OUT THERE’S A DEMON BEHIND U!!! HAHA MADE U LOOK!!!”
cue jisung flinching like a madman to just realize no one was behind him. “lele ur such an ass!!”
however, chenle would also just scream when anything remotely scary happens just to scare jisung even more. jisung would end up rage quiting at this and saying that he’s gonna go to bed instead.
and yes chenle would wake jisung up at 3 am just to scare him with an image from the horror game they played on roblox earlier. you remember how they scared him by setting a cockroach as his home & lock screen on his iPad that one time? yeah just imagine that but with a demon face from a horror game SHDASJDJ.
park jisung ↬ bee swarm simulator
do I even have to explain this???
he would end up getting addicted to the game after chenle had shown it to him one day.
“OMG CHENLE LOOK AT THIS LEGENDARY BEE I JUST GOT OMG OMG!!!” 
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA THE KING BEETLE JUST KILLED ME THIS IS UNFAIRRRRRR!” chenle would just frantically scream into jisung’s ears and jisung swore that one day he would become deaf bc of his best friend.
chenle would show jisung all the tips and tricks on how to be better at the game and next thing u know jisung plays the game almost every day. he also freaks out when his bees get sad bc of the field they’re in and immediately goes back to his hive to feed them and make them feel better.
also jisung’s favorite bee would def be the demon bee.... no I will not elaborate on this.
jisung would treat his bees like his own children, making sure they’re all fed and happy. he would scream whenever he would get a royal jelly and would be obsessed with just hatching random bees all the time.
would def do the most just to upgrade all of his items but he’d do that just so he can fly everywhere and move faster. yes he would want to use his glider everywhere even when he doesn’t need to use it he uses it.
would probably end up getting stuck somewhere on the map and chenle would have to help him LMAOO
he would def complain about how much pollen he would have to collect and then would get distracted by how cute his bees are 5 minutes later. probably ends up playing the game for 4 hours straight without noticing until chenle yells at him to get off so the two of them could eat lunch together. (and dw, ofc he eats well after playing for so long he’s a growing boy <3)

Better
(Adam Sackler x Reader)
An Adam Sackler One Shot
Genre: Fluff
Request: Been trying really hard to come up with something. So its not that great of a request. How about Adam Sackler x Reader. You wrote a jealous Adam. How would Adam react if his girlfriend was jealous? If you are inclined to make it super fluffy at the end. I wouldn’t be mad at ya. Please please please? 💖💖 @danceyreagan​
Author’s Note: Writing for Adam Sackler is fun cause I could dive into the style of dialogue they have in GIRLS. Hope y’all enjoy!
Tumblr media
The way his large, generous hand enveloped yours, it was clear that even the harshest of winds would not be able to blow you away from Adam Sackler’s grasp. Yes, as dramatic as it sounded, you felt that secure.
Warmth, it exuded through his hand, powerful enough to bring you only comfort and nothing else. It was cooling yet warm at the same time. Perfect for the summer. Your mind, it was at peace with him. Even when he took you on a stroll on the streets of Brooklyn on a lazy afternoon.
“I don't get  it…” Adam began, in a matter-of-fact tone, “…why are people so weirded out by hand holding in public?”

“Uh…” Suddenly thrown off by the question, you formed a response, “I guess some people are not as open to PDA…Adam, are you okay?” You inquired, fascinated by his enthusiastic behavior. “Me? I’m great…” He said nonchalantly. Looking at you, he smiled, “You know what?…fuck those people! Hand holding rules…I get to hold on to my girl all the time” he said proudly, raising the held hands together as if he won a trophy.
“Ooooh!” You giggled, thoroughly amused. 

“And I get to do stuff like this…WHOOOO!”
Squealing, you felt like a paper blown in the wind, when Adam started to run, pulling you with him. To the average passerby, the two of you may have looked like lunatics. But running together hand-in hand, you felt like a child. Although you were sure you weren’t so active back then as you were just this moment.
Catching one’s breath after running for a while, Adam released your hand, walking ahead while rambling of the most random topics he could come up with. Listening to him was never a burden for you. You always did so with a smile on your face. For you were genuinely inclined to. It was Adam. His silliness , his wackiness was nothing compared to the love and joy you felt being with him. And you were finally happy to share the silliness with someone who equally did not care of the social norms that had no impact. You both existed in this life, to share the embarrassment together. And you did not mind.
With your eyes solely focused on him alone, you suddenly found yourself bumping into someone, who just emerged from the retail shop nearby.
“Oh! Sorry-” You said involuntarily. Judging by the soft locks of hair that brushed against your face, you guessed it was a woman. And looking up, you were right. “It’s okay…” The woman answered. Overhearing, Adam quickly turned. He could not help but freeze in his tracks. “Mel?” He said, looking at the woman. With widened eyes, the woman opened her mouth with surprise. 

“Adam…Hey!” She cried out, but with an unexpected surprise of a tone. It sounded shy. “Hey…” Adam replied, in an equal manner.
Awkward silence emerged for a few seconds as you could not figure out what was going on. The woman finally came to her senses when she realized you had accompanied him.
“I’m sorry…” she said to you, “I’m Melanie…Mel” she added extending her hand out to you. “And this is Y/N…” Adam replied, putting his arm around your shoulder, “ …my girlfriend”
Mel looked more surprised than before. At this point you have already realized they knew each other. “Oh wow…” she began, taking the time to process the information as you shook hands with her, “…nice to meet you” she said slowly.
“You too” you said, in a confident yet curtly manner. The moment Mel let go of your hand, it seemed like you had suddenly disappeared from her eyesight, for it was only on Adam.
“You look…good…” she said to him, nodding. Surprisingly silent and obedient, Adam nodded back. “So do you…” he said softly, while they both acknowledged one another.
Feeling like the 3rd wheel in this situation, you were deeply inclined to stealthily move yourself. And you did, a few feet away. But at the same time, you stood close enough to asses the entire situation, for you were no fool.
Mel, she was beautiful. If her beauty was to be described in one word, it would be as breathtaking. With your hands folded, you watched them with the same intensity as watching a complicated sports game. Your eyes were busy analyzing their every move. Their manner of talking was soft, which clearly did not fit the description of long time friends. Their choice of words were careful.  And from the angle you stood, you could clearly see how her eyes dilated by the sight of him every second.
For a second, you wished you knew Adam’s reaction too.
This sort of behavior, you’d certainly be a fool to not know what they were.
A minute or two later, Mel made her exit. But not before nodding at you. Nodding back with a constrained smile, your arms remained folded as Adam walked  over to you.
“So…” He began awkwardly, “…uh…that was-” “Your ex?” You asked, wearing the same tense smile. Adam nodded quickly. “Yep…”
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
(An hour later)
“Hey…Hope you’re not feeling sick or anything. Just so you know, if you need me to come over…all you gotta do is ask…okaaay. Anyways, I’ll talk to you later, Bye!”
As soon as Adam’s voice message ended, you tossed the phone away, as you tossed to the other side on your bed. Truthfully, you wished you were sick. Rather be sick than have this feeling, you thought.
The stroll, it continued after Mel left. You remember how your eyes lingered on Adam  while he continued with his ramble. Except your conscious was nowhere near there. Suddenly you could not smile the way you used to. You felt unhappiness, poking you in the heart with a reminder. At first you did not know why. But with each step you took, you came to the realization.
Sure, we all had past relationships. So did you, so did Adam. It was a given. In fact, when you first met him, you were well aware of the fact he was getting over his previous relationship, which had ended horribly. But never did you expect to meet the woman behind it all. You did not think it was someone who was as perfect as Melanie.
The more you were aware of her existence, the more sour you felt. Jealousy, it was knowingly swallowing you whole to the point you could not pretend anymore. It was tiring to feign enthusiasm. And since Adam did not dare to expand on the topic even after the encounter, you felt pressure in holding it all in.
So much so you excused yourself to go back to your apartment, alone.
Jealousy, it turned you into someone different entirely. Sighing deeply, you closed your eyes as you drifted off to sleep.
If your normal self was Dr.Jekyl, the Jealous you was definitely your Mr.Hyde.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
(The next morning)
“…and boom! I got this sweet ride for half the cost. Isn’t that awesome?” Adam’s voice woke you from your thoughts. “Hmm….” With arms folded, you remained unmoved as you stared ahead sitting on the passenger seat of the car. It was Adam’s niece’s birthday, and his sister had decided to hold it at a place outside the city. Though you were far from willing to step out of the apartment with Mr.Hyde inside, you still joined your boyfriend when he rented a car to go there.
Surprised by your silence, Adam kept driving. Though it was obvious he was deciding to move over to another topic. “So…uh…you wanna listen to something?” He inquired, reaching out to the radio. No answer. It was as if he was the only occupant in the car. 
“Okay…still silence it is then…” He muttered awkwardly. The outskirts of the city welcomed the both of you when Adam decided to speak once again.
“You know…” he began, “I’m not the one to usually bring up stuff like this but…” he continued, “Did you bring any makeup with you?”
Turning your head to him with annoyance, you shot him a look. “Why? Am I not pretty enough?” You snapped. 

“NO no no…Jesus!” He replied quickly. Sighing, he added “It’s just that…this is kinda of a formal thing, and I really don’t want you to regret not putting anything on…cause you usually do”
You looked at your reflection on your phone. Mr.Hyde seemed to have convinced you to care lesson yourself you even forgot to put on makeup before the trip. Adam was right. But somehow you just felt worse.
“Well…”you began sternly, “if that’s the case then …why don’t you ask MEL to accompany you, huh?” To your horror, you almost felt yourself bark by the end of the sentence. But at that moment you really did not care.
Exhaling deeply, Adam quickly pulled the car over, bringing it to a steady halt. “Why are we stopping? You asked angrily. “Cause we need to talk…outside” Adam said, surprisingly very calm. Unable to smile, your face was stuck in a resting bitch-face mode as he gestured you to get out of the car.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The outskirts of New York deserved more of the attention. But today was not the day. Amidst the trees and bushes by the road, Adam watched you. With his hands is his jacket pockets, he watched you pace from side to side.
“Y/N…” Adam began calmly, “You okay?” “Uh huh….” Nonchalantly you answered, trying your hardest to avoid the question.
“See? I can tell that you’re definitely not okay” Adam finally spoke up in a tone that made you pause. Taking his hands out of his pockets, he took a step towards you. “You’re upset about something. And… you know what? no matter how long you’re gonna stand here sulking….I don’t give a shit” he said, with a serious tone, “You’re gonna tell me what the fuck is going on with you. Cause I’ve never seen this side to you, Y/N. And its making me worried-”
“OKAY!….” you cried out. His incessant ramble finally broke you down. But what really broke you was his concern in particular. It made the insensitive side of yours break it’s walls, to see how patient he was with your stubborn behavior, ever since yesterday. And how patient he was now.
“Okay…I’ll talk. I’m gonna talk.” You said with a sigh.

“Great” “But I’m gonna talk a lot.” “Well…good. Cause that’s what I want” Your heart melted upon hearing those words. “Really?” You asked. “Yeah!” He answered without hesitation. Taking a deep breath, you looked right into his eyes. 
“Okay…Look! You’re a hottie… and-” “What? THAT’S IT?” He asked confusingly, making you burst out laughing to his surprise. “Stop! I’m trying to be serious” “Yeah… well, that was a good start” He replied with sarcasm, making you chuckle harder. “Sackler come on!” You said, playfully smacking him on his chest, “ I mean it. You’re this …hella attractive guy, and I knew going out with you, I have to put up with the women throwing themselves at you. Being an actor and all. And I didn’t mind. I didn’t care. I really didn’t give a fuck” “You didn’t ?” “I didn’t ” you repeated, “But…When I saw your ex…she…I mean, Mel is gorgeous. Like mad gorgeous” “No she isn’t” Shocked by his quick response, your jaw dropped. “You gotta be blind if you really mean that” you said, appalled. Adam raised both his hands. “Is this… some kind of self validation on appearances or something?” He asked. “NO No…I normally don’t care but…” you said, frustrated, “…seeing her, and seeing the two of you together talking…I just felt so horrible. Like a legit stomach pain. Not because I’m worried of how she looks better than me…It’s just that..with you guys having such a long history, I wondered, are you guys suddenly gonna have hope for each other again?” You said, as you let your thoughts take you, “Maybe you’ll start…thinking about her again and…One afternoon you guys would probably wanna meet up for coffee, but will it end with just coffee? NO! It won’t” Engaged in your green thoughts, you did not even notice your voice breaking with emotion, “And the next thing you know, you’ll tell me you don’t love me anymore and… leave me and-”
“Hey hey hey! Shhhh!” Adam cut you off gently, pulling you into an embrace,  “Where the hell did you just go?” He asked. As vulnerable as you were, you welcomed this warmth gladly. “I’m sorry…” you sniffed, “When I get jealous I get…super paranoid. And it just goes down the spiral…it’s crazy. It’s bad I know. I’m sorry-” “Shh…” he repeated, “It’s okay…” patting your back gently. With eyes closed, you remained in the warmth of his embrace for a few minutes. Both of you dwelled in comfortable silence while the birds chirped and the soft wind caressed your bodies.
“Do you know why me and Mel broke up?” He asked, making you pull away all the sudden. “No…” wiping your nose, you answered, “… cause I didn’t want to pry into the your romantic past. I didn’t want to make you uncomfortable…” Adam chuckled, upon hearing your response, “You know, this was one of the reasons I liked you so much” he said, stroking your head lovingly, “You’re so cool. Like… in the best way” “Shhh stop!” You smiled shyly, hugging him again. “So… why did you guys break up?” You asked him. Adam’s chest rose as he took a deep breath. “She cheated on me…” he said, “When I confronted her about it, all she could say was…she wanted someone better” With widened eyes, you tried your best to process the news. Adam chuckled. “Imagine how that made me feel?”  He asked. “Yeah, that must have sucked…” you said, voice muffled against his jacket, “…I mean..how can she say that? About you especially?” “Yeah?” He asked, pulling away to look at you. “Yeah…that’s just crazy talk” “You know what else is crazy talk?” He said softly,  “You…thinking I might leave you”
Embarrassment swallowed you whole completely, you had nowhere else to look but down. How could you act this way to a man like him?
“Hey!…” Adam began, “…C’mere” taking your chin by the hand so that you eyes met. “Mel may have thought I wasn’t better…” he said, “… but she’ll never be better than you-” “Adam, I don’t care if I’m better…It’s not a competition” Your voice got emotional again, “I just want you to love me as much as I love you”
Those words, they sealed the deal when Adam swooped in, kissing you passionately on the lips. You felt the closet to being saved when those lips fed you the sweet nectar of the love you indulged from him all this time. Melting in his arms in completion, you held onto him with your dear life as he lifted you up, taking you on a spin before he put you down again. Your heart, it felt light, it felt refreshed.
“Y/N…” Adam began,  “Being with you, I spent possibly the happiest days of my life. Do I need to say more?”
Your lips quivered with emotion as you cupped his face.
“No need” you said, as your fingers traced over his goatee, “… that was more than enough”
And in a flash, his generous hand enveloped yours, providing you with the security and warmth you longed for. But more importantly, providing you with the absolute certainty of the real love you both shared for one another.

Little Things | Kageyama Tobio
Prev | Finale
"How can I miss your game?"
It was once again the day he was waiting for, the 2020 Olympics.
For how many years, Tobio have dreamed of becoming a world famous volleyball player. He would often train hard, pouring his heart on every training and game, he wanted to stand on a court where everyone would know his name, where he would find formidable opponents who were stronger than him.
Today it was his 2nd Olympic game.
You saw how great he played during the Rio Olympics back then, how he was surprised to see you on the bleachers shouting his name even if you told him you didn't had the sufficient money for the plane tickets (he wanted to pay for your tickets but you refused, telling him to save it for his next trip. Tobio was easy to fool)
The last night in Rio, Tobio made it extra special by proposing to you.
It wasn't anything fancy, it didn't happened in a five star restaurant while a classical band was playing. It happened in the busy streets of Rio, where the air was chilly and everyone was having fun including the both of you. The streets was filled with laughter, music, and the smell of street foods that made your mouths water.You two walked beside each other, Tobio holding your hand firmly, scared that you would get lost from the crowd.
While you two were being entertained by a street performer, Tobio took the chance and got down on one knee asking for your hand in marriage. You can easily see how red he was and how he was barely breathing from his nervousness.
"W-will you marry me?"
Without any seconds to lose, you tackled him in a tight hug, the both of you crashing in the ground. You can feel your tears flowing down your cheeks, almost screaming yes in the top of your lungs. You swore Tobio almost short circuited.
“I honestly thought you’re going to say no..” He gently placed your hand over his chest letting you feel his heart beat which was loudly banging through his chest.
“Why would I say no to you? We’ve been together since god knows when.”
Tobio felt at ease with your words, a genuine smile appearing in his lips as he kissed your forehead.
“Seems like you’re going to be mine forever now.”
~
"I can just wait for you to finish" he offered
"Don't be silly, you'd be late for your game!"
"How about you finish it later? So we can go now?"
You sighed giving up, a smirk plastered over Tobio's lips. He knew you always had a soft spot for him.
"Daddy!"
You both turned around to see your little boy, Hiroto who smiled at the both of you. It freaked you out how he was a splitting image of his father, bearing Tobio’s same ocean blue eyes, the exact sharp features along with the cold intimidating facial expression, and of course, the infamous fringe that sits atop of Hiroto’s head to top it all off, mking him the mini Kageyama Tobio. the only difference they had was Hiroto’s bubbly personality and ever so charming smile.
Tobio swept Hiroto off the bed, ruffling Hiroto’s hair which made his son giggle.
“Are you going to watch daddy today on his game?”
“Yes!”
“Alright, ask your mommy to change your clothes so we can go now.”
Seeing the two love of your lives made your heart melt.
The three of you shortly arrived at the venue, Tobio shortly bid farewell for their practice, kissing the both of you before leaving. Hiroto was on the verge of crying when his uncle Sugawara-san suddenly came to view. He instantly beamed waving at his ojisan, Suga instantly melted from his adorableness picking little Hiroto up as the three of you entered the venue.
Daichi soon arrived surprised to see Hiroto yelling at him, Sugawara being Sugawara, was praising Hiroto and already teaching him how to tease Daichi, much to their entertainment. Then everyone soon came in to view, Tsukishima, Yamaguchi, Yachi, basically everyone. Along with Akaashi who was one of your co-workers in the company you were working now.
“Akaashi, I’m sorry-”
“Hey, it’s okay. I understand. I know how Kageyama- ah, sorry Tobio dragged you here.”
You chuckled, nodding in agreement.
“Well, he’s being extra excited today, it’s Hiroto’s first time watching him live.”
Akaashi was interrupted with a boom of the announcer’s voice. You turned your head when Hiroto went down your lap and started bouncing up and down pointing at his Father who was entering the court.
“Daddy!! Daddy!! That’s my Daddy! Kageyama Tobio the setter!”
"Yes baby, that's your Father."
"DADDY YOU'RE SO COOL!"
Tobio already knew where you were seated, he looked up flashing a smile, waving at the both of you. You smiled waving back to your husband, mouthing a quick good luck.
“hey Hey HEYY!”
Akaashi chuckled hearing Bokuto hyping the arena up. Bokuto searched upon the crowd, his eyes meeting Akaashi's.
"I can see you, Koutarou."
"You two really make a cute couple."
Akaashi blushed at your words, a smile crept in his lips.
"Well, I've always adorned him."
The game started, you and your son were full on cheering mode which hyped Tobio even more. His accuracy was sharper than ever, it made everyone swoon over him. You can see how Tobio was definitely showing off his skills to Hiroto, who was in awe. Whenever they score a point Tobio would sometimes point at the two of you, a proud smile plastered to his face.
Hiroto's eyes darted back and fourth, amazed at his Father's movements. He would jump up and down, bragging his Father to his uncles who were sat nearby. Sugawara was loud as ever, screaming at the top of his lungs whenever Tobio and Hinata would score with their all-time famous demon quick attack.
“I’ve raised those kids!”
“You sure did Suga”
Bokuto was also on fire, annoying his opponents with his swift line shots, and whenever he had the chance, he would look up to Akaashi beaming, Akaashi would nod acknowledging he saw what Bokuto had done.
Hiroto would bounce up and down, with a proud smirk in his face whenever the commentators would praise Tobio with his skills. He would often bug his Uncle Akaashi, asking him if he saw how great his Dad was. Akaashi smiled patting little Hiroto’s head. When Akaashi told Hiroto, Tobio once asked him for tips, Hiroto already grew excited, acknowledging Akaashi as Tobio’s senpai which made everyone around laugh, Sugawara jokingly pouted crossing his arms.
“Hiro-chan! I was Tobio’s original senpai you know!”
The last set was about to conclude, Tobio was still on his top form, tossing to Kourai who did an unexpected feint, shocking his opponents. Everyone cheered wildly, chanting Kourai and Tobio’s name.
“There goes the genius setter Kageyama Tobio along with the little giant Hoshiumi Kourai!”
The match soon concluded, Japan winning today’s match which made you happier. You already made your way to the court along with Akaashi who was already tackled in to a hug by Bokuto.
Hiroto already ran towards his Father, who already kneeled down, his arms wide open ready to catch Hiroto. Hiroto gladly jumped over his Father, not minding the fact that his father was still sweaty.
“You know, I’m covered in sweat.”
“I don’t mind daddy! I want everyone to know that You’re my Father!”
Hinata looked over the two at confusion.
“Kageyama, I didn’t know Miwa-chan already had a child.”
“Hiroto’s mine, Hinata boke!”
Hinata froze, his jaw dropped.
“You have a KID?”
Hiroto looked at Hinata, smiling at him.
“Daddy! That’s Ninja Shouyou!”
“Yes, that’s him.”
You laughed as you walked over to Tobio, planting a soft kiss on his lips. You also greeted Hinata who was still in shock, asking Hiroto if Tobio was really his father.
“Mommy says I exactly look like Daddy!”
“I mean you are, but you’re a kind version of Kageyama.”
Tobio glared at Hinata which scared him, Hiroto smirked patting his Father’s head.
“Alright enough of the banter, Tobio, Hiroto smile at the camera!”
Tobio looked at you, holding over your phone. He smiled carrying little Hiroto over his shoulder. You smiled capturing one of Tobio and Hiiroto’s wholesome moment.
“You did well today.” You say, Tobio smiled proudly, his free hand tugging you in a hug. You chuckled hugging him back.
“I can’t disappoint Hiroto, I pomised him I’ll give my all.”
“Daddy! I want to play how you played too!”
“I thought you wanted to be an ace like Ushiwaka-san?”
“I changed my mind, I want to be a setter like you!”
“Well, we can start training you to set balls properly.”
You chuckled planting a kiss over the both of them
“I’m so proud of you Tobio.”
“I could never had done it without you and Hiroto.”
In your world full of competing over the little things, you both won at the end, having the most wonderful life ahead of you both. Even things were rough, you both managed. You swore you’d never leave him alone, and he did too. He found solace within you, while he was your forever safe haven in this world.
“Y/N?”
“Yes?”
“I love you.”

Moonlight Melody - chapter 3
Word Count: 5,431 previous chapter, next chapter
Moonlight Melody masterlist.
semi-proofread. anyways, the third chapter’s about Jessica as a grim reaper and receiving her next assignment which is Joohyun who later meets Grim Reaper Jessica. happy reading and kthxbai, Admin Lia~
Jessica was thrust awake as she found herself at the Reaper Station's conference room already sitting in one of its seat and in her uniform. She groaned as she flopped her upper body onto the table to catch a nap before the meeting began. It was short lived when she felt someone poke her side.
"I swear, Shannon, if it's you, I'm gonna pushed you in front of a bus again."
Grim Reaper Jessica threatened in a muttering tone with her face still against the table and not bothering to check if it was the death watcher that oversees her duties or not. She heard a male chuckle and turned to see that it was another reaper, Gunwoo, who had poked her earlier.
"I thought by now you would've figured out that we won't die from such mortal incidents."
Gunwoo propped an elbow on to the table and rested his chin upon it while smiling at Grim Reaper Jessica.
"Were you asleep before being summoned?"
"Yes. I took a nap as the heat was getting to me." She responded with a yawn as she sat upright.
"Why suffer with those mortal weathers when you can live here and choose whatever season you want to basked in?"
"That's no fun, honestly. I can't dress up with the seasonal fashion."
"How about giving up your triple life and just becoming a full-fledged grim reaper?"
"No, thanks. I'm sti-"
Gunwoo interrupted her while repeating the words that she always gave him as her reasoning.
"-still waiting on my sister."
He rolled his eyes.
"I remember, but I still suggest for you to cross over. Your sister, too. Isn't it boring being a human though?"
"Not really. Isn't it boring being an immortal?"
"Not really."
He eyed his fellow grim reaper with a grin.
"But who knows, one day I may end up as a mere mortal."
"I doubt you'll make it as one in the end."
"Wow, that's rude."
Grim Reaper  Jessica shot him a grin just as Lucifer's booming voice announced his own presence and everyone turned towards the front.
"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen." Lucifer greeted as he sat at the head of the table upon his throne with a large grin.
He went about their usual discussion and updates before moving on to the last bit of the meeting consisting of assigning the reapers with their missions by Lilith. Grim Reaper Jessica hardly received her missions during the meetings as Shannon always gave them to her at all odd hours of the day. So Grim Reaper Jessica used to wondered why she even had to come to these midnight meetings, but later gave up and just went with it. Still though it got her curious and before she could ask Gunwoo about the subject, Lilith's voice interrupted her.
"Here's our latest user, pinkbaechu, on our REAPER CORRESPONDENCE site. The user signed up a few days ago."
Lilith announced upon Joohyun's account profile popping up on the holographic screen for everyone to view.
"She's quite pretty judging by her picture, but in all honestly she's really bland in personality."
There were some murmurs before Lilith continued.
"Now on to pinkbaechu's actual profile. Her name is Bae Joohyun. She's in her thirties. Born on the twenty-ninth of March. Height, one fifty-eight centimeters. Weight, forty-four kilograms. Her blood type is A. Her Zodiac signs are the Sheep and Aries. She doesn't eat chicken and dislikes coffee."
Lilith read out Joohyun's basic information before moving on to the real reason.
"This pitiful mortal officially got her heart broken by her scumbag of a cheating boyfriend of six years. Talk about summer romance, right?"
The others began mumbling comments about Joohyun's situation while Grim Reaper Jessica began to doze off feeling extremely sleepy for some odd reason before Lilith spoke again.
"Now, the one major thing to note about this case is that none of us here in the Infernal Realm had sent Joohyun Bae an invite to the REAPER CORRESPONDENCE. Yue Lao of the Celestial Realm took pity on this silly woman and decided upon himself to meddle a little bit in her pitiful love life while leaving the rest to the Grim Reaper Station to deal with."
Lilith's gaze looked about the room at the other grim reapers and death watchers.
"Who would like to take pinkbaechu's revenge as their own?"
A lot of hands went up, but Lilith's eyes landed on the dozing Grim Reaper Jessica. A smirk crossed Lilith's lips as she slammed her hands on the table which sent vibrations in the female's direction to jolt her wide awake.
"Hmm?"
Grim Reaper Jessica hummed sleepily while looking about the room casually.
"Congratulations, Reaper J, you have been assigned to pinkbaechu's case."
Lilith congratulated while snapping her fingers to make a black file appear in front of the said grim reaper.
"Wait, what?" Grim Reaper Jessica stared at the floating file before her.
"Why?"
Before Grim Reaper Jessica could protest Lucifer moved on to the next person and she reluctantly grasped the file into her hand with a tired sigh. Gunwoo laughed beside her and she elbowed him to stop, but that barely did anything as he snickered to himself. Just as Grim Reaper Jessica was about to make a snarky remark she felt herself thrust forward and she was back on Earth in her bed. She felt wonky, but came to her senses. Jessica checked the time. It was seven in the morning. She sighed while trying to return to sleep, but couldn't.
"What should I do now?"
Just as those words left her lips did she know what she wanted to do. Jessica went to the Eternal Twilight and sat upon the swing with the various sounds around her creating a tranquil melody. Jessica hoped that her sister's wandering soul would appear. Krystal did not appear and the melody that Jessica heard around her faded away.
~~~~~~~~~
"I seriously knew it was too good to be true. It had to be. I'm such a gullible person." Joohyun muttered with a frustrated sigh after checking her phone for the nth time since she had signed up for the REAPER CORRESPONDENCE a few days ago.
"What kind of app exists to make one's dream come true? Zilch."
Joohyun sighed again as her mood dampened.
"Why would one even exist if that was so easy to do in real life?"
Joohyun received no responses since creating the account. Heck, she received no replies after making a post in wanting to get back at her ex-boyfriend. She knew that her post had a lot of views, but not one person commented on it. Even when Joohyun clicked on the other profiles of the other users it went to private mode. She could only see her account and the posts of others, but a click into a profile and it just wasn't viewable. She couldn't even comment on any of the other posts as well. It was totally weird.
"Maybe it's just a site for ranting and nothing more. A place that's just another place to escape from reality."
Joohyun reasoned while putting away her phone and resumed work. She debated whether to take some personal days off, but didn't want to mope around the house causing her mother to worry. Her mother had her health to worry about instead of her own child to add to it. Besides, Joohyun needed to work to provide for herself and for her mother so she couldn't lose her job even if she despised it at times. Plus, the bank were running low on staff when one of her colleague that she was close with was admitted to the hospital in critical condition a few months ago. None of them knew when she would return.
Anyhow, at the time her mood was in high spirits when the thought of actually getting payback against Bogum was plausible. Now, after days of waiting and nothing happening her high energy dwindled. So when Joohyun returned home she was too tired that she headed to her room telling her mother that it was a stressful day at work. It was partially true. There were too many angry clients that took it out on her when they couldn't access their online banking account. Anyways, gathering energy Joohyun went about her nightly routine.
After changing into pajamas Joohyun finally sat on the carpeted floor of her bedroom. She had her knees pressed against her chest with her back pressed against the edge of her bed while staring at her dresser absentmindedly. Her eyes landed on the pretty MOLDIR tote bag given by that nice woman as she recalled the tinge of excitement and happiness she had these past few weeks because of that. Joohyun had received pictures of her modeling the products and her mother commented how surprised her daughter looked with them. She grabbed those photos from her nightstand and admired them.
Jiwoo had never seen her daughter looked so stunning and glowing all at once like that before. The both of them were even surprised to see the check with the sum for just that brief moment and her mother joking suggested for her daughter to become a model instead of a banker. Joohyun declined, but went through the photos seeing how happy she did looked in them. She didn't think by agreeing to these that it showed another side of her she didn't think existed. Still, Joohyun's mind wandered and a familiar feeling began to settled within her.
She unconsciously traced random patterns into the carpet with her fingers as her mind soon blanked out into nothingness causing the photos to lay about her. A moment later Joohyun suddenly shivered as her room grew immediately colder than it should've been. She rubbed her arms to keep warm while following the moonlit rays coming through her window and noticed it was closed. Same with the balcony door. She wondered if her mother turned on the A/C by mistake, but dismissed the idea since her mother would be the one to say something first about the coldness as heat comforted her better.
Standing up and moving under the covers of her bed instead, Joohyun decided it must be because she had gotten out of the shower and that night time had fallen with the slightly cool late June air in effect and settling in. As she was about to switch off her lamp's light, Joohyun's eyes caught a glimpse of something moving in the shadow cast by her lamp's light. She looked around her room cautiously, but shook the thought away as she wasn't one of those people for believing of monsters in the dark.
Then again, Joohyun did believed that a text message would help her to get revenge on Bogum. Maybe it was just the spur of the moment or something had overcome her, but still it felt real. Anyhow, she wasn't quite sure what to believe now. Being an adult was so tiresome and just mundane with little trifles of life. Anyways, finding nothing out of place except for the temperature being colder than normal Joohyun sighed as she was about to switch off the light until she heard a female voice speak from the foot of her bed.
"Don't do that. You should really leave the lights on. It makes things less creepy and daunting during the night, especially when something you're not used to seeing or believing."
Grim Reaper Jessica suggested while sitting cross-legged and hovering a few inches above the end of Joohyun's bed.
"Good evening. I'm Reaper J. You-"
The reaper was interrupted by Blanc who materialized right in front of Jessica and spoke instead.
"I'm Blanc. You should hang out with me because that ex-boyfriend of yours is a total douche and I have way better skills than him. Even looking like this."
Grim Reaper Jessica telepathically pushed Blanc to the side and was about to continued with her announcement when Eclare materialized a few seconds later where Blanc used to be and introduced himself as well.
"Hi. I'm Eclare. Wow, for a bland personality, you really are pretty and you smell deliciously sweet li-"
Eclare didn't get to finish his sentence as he was also telepathically pushed away by the grim 1reaper to join Blanc off to the side as Grim Reaper Jessica continued before being interrupted like nothing had happened.
"Like I was about to say, greetings, I'm Reaper J and you've summoned me so how may I assist you?"
Joohyun was still frozen in place with her body lying on her side half-twisted to turn off the light and the other half overlooking her shoulder to stare at the floating gothic-like female and two winged cats in front of her. She could only blinked every few seconds with her mouth agape. Grim Reaper Jessica sat afloat with a neutral expression as she bobbed up and down slowly while letting the situation sink in. After like twelve minutes passed did Joohyun finally come to her senses as she slowly positioned herself in a upright sitting position and pulling the blanket cozily around her.
"Who are you?"
The grim reaper smiled at Joohyun upon finally being acknowledged and instantly covered the mouths of the felines with her magic from interrupting and butting in like always before speaking.
"My purpose is to help you out as much as I can with your revenge, but I need to know all that you want me to know, Bae Joohyun."
"H-how do you know my name?"
"I know some things about you, but I know that you want to get back at your ex-boyfriend, Park Bogum. So I'm here to help you with that."
When the words sunk in did Joohyun's eyes lit up with the corner of her lips curving upwards. The more she thought of it, the more her eyes and lips grew wider and wider upon that realization that both Blanc and Eclare snapped Joohyun from out of her little moment.
"Yeah, so just tell good 'ol Blanc how you wanna go about dealing with dirtball Bogum for ya."
Blanc fluttered over to Joohyun and started suggesting things.
"Do you want me to bite him all over? Leave snakes under his bed? Haunt him in his dreams? Make him drink cat piss every time he drinks something? Or should I scratch up his pretty little face for ya? Just let me know what you want me to do. Don't hold back. Really. Don't hold back. I gotchu."
Blanc fluttered on over as well and did the same thing which Joohyun felt an even darker aura coming from him than Blanc.
"How about I enter his dreams and turned them into real living nightmares as he experienced them, but can't wake up? Like over and over as he reaches the point of awareness that he's gonna wake up, but repeats it again and again. That'll show him! Oh! Oh, I know! This one's my all time favorite out of the others that I do."
Eclare giggled mischievously as his eyes glazed over with excitement.
"Maybe every time he opens his mouth to flirt I have bugs and critters come crawling out. It doesn't have to be the mouth and could be another opening of the body. Or I could call up a buddy of mine who's been itching to possess some fool into doing stupid things or haunt him forever."
Joohyun looked at one cat to the other cat and totally did not think that these cute and adorable felines could come up with all these gruesome things they had just suggested. Grim Reaper Jessica shooed the felines away as they disappeared in a puff of smoke leaving just Joohyun and the grim reaper alone.
"Anyways, don't mind them. Tell me your thoughts."
Soon enough the words fell from Joohyun's mouth as she began blabbering about this and that while the words she spoke appeared automatically upon the black file that Grim Reaper Jessica suddenly had in her grasp that Joohyun hadn't noticed at all. Soon enough Joohyun's blabbering died down and she stared at the grim reaper bashfully.
"Um, is that good enough for you, Reaper J?"
"Quite. Thank you."
Grim Reaper Jessica confirmed while scanning the new content within the file before looking up at her charge.
"Anyways, in a little bit you should be receiving some items and I'll explain each one when th-"
The grim reaper was unintentionally interrupted when Joohyun began cooing at the sight of three black puppies suddenly appearing on her bed as they jumped about and all around Joohyun. She instantly petted the canines who immediately rolled onto their backs for belly rubs with the items firmly held in their mouths. To Joohyun, they were not the ferocious hellhounds you would assumed them to be. They were like all dogs wanting attention.
"I forget that this happens often." Grim Reaper Jessica muttered as she closed the black file before swirling her hand and the item disappeared.
The grim reaper looked about the room and caught sight of an expensive looking tote bag. Grim Reaper Jessica didn't think much about the MOLDIR bag and of the fact that she had met Joohyun before in her mortal form. When she was either a cupid or grim reaper for a part of that human life memory was blocked as if to not interfer with the other. Likewise when she was out supernatural uniform. She recalled bits and pieces, but other than that she didn't bother with it. Anyways, the grim reaper's attention returned to Joohyun who's mood seemed to have lifted.
"Aww, you three are so adorable."
Joohyun quietly squealed while petting the hellhounds.
"Wow, your fur is so soft to the touch."
She hadn't felt like this in a very long time. Somehow the puppies gave her a sense of calmness and washed away her sadness for the time being. The hellhounds could feel the grim reaper giving them a pointed look and reverted back to their upright position to get back on track. The hellhound with the red eyes was the first one to speak after dropping a small black-like wooden doll with a red bow-tied string around its neck onto Joohyun's lap.
"Hi. I'm Flesh. The DOLL in your case will be someone that you desire to be a replacement for your ex-boyfriend to help with your revenge. Once that occurs you'll pull the string from around it's neck and your new boyfriend shall appear soon afterwards."
Joohyun paused in her action and stared at Flesh who had just spoken before breaking out into giggles while petting his head.
"Oh my! You can actually talk, too? Just like the cats. Wow. That is so cute."
She gushed as the grim reaper patiently waited for the woman to have her moment. Flesh responded with a small bark before poofing away in a puff of red smoke as the next hellhound with blue eyes yawned after dropping a small round and flat stone onto Joohyun's lap before giving out his instruction next.
"Hiya. I'm Ukulele and in your case of the STONE, it will turn into five mini ruby red gemstones that you're able to eat while making tiny wishes."
He stretched his limbs as Joohyun petted the arch of his back which Ukulele quite liked before speaking again.
"Wish your wishes thoroughly. It will backfire if you don't and they'll come out differently than you had originally wished for."
Ukulele poofed away in a puff of blue smoke leaving the last hellhound with green eyes to present the last of the items for the revenge. The green-eyed hellhound placed a tiny black coin in Joohyun's lap.
"Hello, I'm Hibiscus and I actually don't know what the COIN will do for you in the time it's in your care," Hibiscus admitted as Joohyun frowned while petting the hellhound, "But when the right time presents itself or when you're in dire need of it when you don't think you won't, then it'll activate on its own accord."
Hibiscus soon disappeared in a puff of green smoke leaving only the grim reaper and Joohyun in Joohyun's bedroom. Joohyun gathered up the three items and stared at them lost in thoughts.
"Heed their words and followed their instructions well."
Grim Reaper Jessica reminded Joohyun as the woman nodded obediently.
"I will."
"Please make sure that these items stay in your care and to never lose sight of them."
Just as Joohyun was going to reply that she will, she was stopped when she noticed the grim reaper's gaze.
"The consequence of another mortal finding it  or being careless of them will be insurmountable. Do you understand, Bae Joohyun?"
Joohyun slowly nodded in slight fear.
"I will, Reaper J."
"Good."
Grim Reaper Jessica stretched out her limbs as she was now in a standing position while still hovering in the air.
"If you agree to your revenge, then you'll also mark a place besides the one you'll take your vengeance upon."
Joohyun's brows furrowed upon hearing the grim reaper's words.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Your soul will also take its place in Hell once your life has ended. Do you comprehend what that means?"
"Will I die after the revenge has been completed?"
"No. You will live your life to its fullest and you'll die when your time to die comes unless the Fates think otherwise or it's a sudden death."
Grim Reaper Jessica calmly looked at her charge.
"Do you wish to carry on with your revenge, Bae Joohyun?"
Joohyun looked down at the items and then up at the grim reaper with a slow nod.
"Are you sure?"
The grim reaper asked once more before a final confirmation.
"I'm sure, Reaper J."
"Very well then. Please hold out a hand."
Joohyun was puzzled by the command, but saw Grim Reaper Jessica slightly motioned in the air with one of her hands and suddenly floating in front of her was a feathered quill and a golden parchment.
"This is a binding contract of your wish to take your revenge," Grim Reaper Jessica explained, "When you're ready to go through with it, then please say, 'I, Bae Joohyun, hereby adhere to the agreement with Reaper J', and it'll finished the rest from there."
Joohyun nodded as she recited the words the grim reaper informed her of.
"I, Bae Joohyun, hereby adhere to the agreement with Reaper J."
Joohyun held out a hand once the words left her mouth after reading the contents and winced when she felt a small prick to her index finger. She witnessed as the few drops of blood splattered at the bottom of the parchment sealing her fate.
"The deed is done."
Just as Grim Reaper Jessica finished talking did Eclare poofed back with a mischievous grin while casting his eyes onto Joohyun.
"Now that the agreement is settled, what should I do first, Ms. Watermelon?"
Joohyun wasn't sure how to reply as everything was still fairly fresh in her mind. She instead looked at the black feline clueless even with the weird name he had just addressed her by, but luckily Grim Reaper Jessica intervened.
"For now, Eclare, tail after Park Bogum. Take all notes of his activities, close relations, and other vital information for Joohyun to exact her vengeance on him when it's time."
"Will do. I got your back, Ms. Watermelon."
Eclare disappeared as Blanc looked over at Grim Reaper Jessica.
"What do you want me to do?"
"Nothing."
"You're joking, right?"
"I'm not."
Joohyun watched as the white feline and the grim reaper banter a bit.
"Oh, c'mon, Sica. Let me help out."
"It's not your place to help here in the first place, Blanc."
"Seriously?"
"Yes."
"You're no fun."
"We're not supposed to be having fun."
"Says you. This is right up my alley."
The grim reaper eyed the white cat.
"Does that halo of yours need to be replaced?"
"Can't. I figured that out in my first few years as one of Heaven's familiars."
"Make sense."
"Since it does, then le-"
"Anyways, Blanc," The grim reaper was done bickering with the white feline and interrupted him, "Not as of yet."
"So what can I do?"
"Like I said before, but this isn't really your jurisdiction, Blanc."
"But you just said 'not as of yet'. That means I can help."
"For now, just stay on the sideline and I'll let you know."
Blanc huffed knowing that was true, but nodded.
"Fine, but you know my name."
"Indeed."
Blanc looked over at Joohyun
"Remember me, Ms. Watermelon. The name's Blanc and if you need my help just call my name. Like, seriously, I'm being totally serious."
Joohyun just nodded in understanding.
"Okay. Laters."
Blanc poofed away in a cloud of white smoke while Grim Reaper Jessica did some stretching one last time and gave Joohyun a steady look.
"Just call my name, Reaper J, and I'll appear to you when possible. Please only do so if you're in need of me or have any serious questions regarding your revenge plan. Other than that, I'll always be close by even if you don't call for me."
"Um, what about the hellhounds and the cats?" Joohyun asked with a curious look.
"They won't appear on their own unless I send them or they accompany me when I visit you. So you don't have to worry about them unless the need is dire."
Joohyun nodded before glancing at the reaper with a thankful expression.
"Thank you." Joohyun thanked her. "Thank you so much."
"For what?"
Grim Reaper Jessica tilted her head curiously.
"For giving me a chance to get back at my ex-boyfriend for doing me wrong all this time."
The grim reaper shook her head.
"No need to thank me. I'm just here to provide you the means to do so."
Joohyun just nodded as Grim Reaper Jessica gave her another look.
"Now, to seal the deal again."
Joohyun was confused as the grim reaper hovered closer to her and offered out her right hand.
"Your other hand, please."
"But I thought we already did it a moment ago with the quill and paper thing?"
Grim Reaper Jessica continued to offer her hand not explaining what the other deal was so Joohyun did as told and held out her other hand that wasn't pricked before. She winced again when she felt another slight sting to her other index finger as a small pool of blood appeared. Grim Reaper Jessica firmly took Joohyun's pricked finger and placed it against the open page of the black file from earlier.
"Now the other real deal has been finalized, Bae Joohyun. Take care."
Before Joohyun could respond the grim reaper de-materialized along with the black file. She was left alone in her room once again, but this time around she had the three items from the hellhounds in her grasp to let her know that it wasn't made up and very real than before.
~~~~~~~~~
Joohyun glanced at the clock and wished time moved quickly so that she could go on her lunch break already. She thought she would've been fine working as a teller today, but now she wished she was doing consultations instead. The workplace had some early morning gossips that concerned her, but she wasn't aware of it except receiving weird looks and giggles behind her. Besides that there were some rude and impatient customers today as well. Joohyun had no clue why people were so grumpy about their own money even after informing them that she just manages the depositing and withdrawals of their accounts.
After working some more did she finally take her break and away from the workplace. Joohyun learned who had started the gossip as one of her colleagues actually lived in the same building complex and on the same floor as Bogum. He had overheard bits and pieces of the conversation between her and her ex-boyfriend and couldn't wait to tell the others at work after learning a little more, too. Still Joohyun wished that he had minded his own business instead of spreading gossip. She wondered how long before it would die down and they would gossip about something else after.
Anywho, Joohyun comfortably sat outside a small restaurant with the sun blocked by the umbrella and a cool summer breeze coming and going from time to time. She was sipping a pink island ice tea while people watching and eating a smoked salmon sandwich. She didn't have much of an appetite and so thought a light lunch would do her some good than nothing. She reached into her purse for her mobile device when her hand came into contact with something smooth. Joohyun pulled it out and realized it was the black stone that Ukulele had given her.
"I wonder if it tastes like cherries or strawberries when they turn into a ruby gemstone like the blue-eyed puppy had explained."
She observed the stone with an amused look before becoming shock when it suddenly turned into the said ruby and broke into five tiny pieces. Joohyun picked up one of the pieces and felt its texture like it wasn't candy at all. It felt more like an actual real gemstone, but had an airy feel to it, too. Curiosity got the best of her as she ended up popping it into her mouth. She savored the sweet taste of mixed berries as it exploded onto her taste-buds. At that moment her eyes had caught sight of a fancy car with an equally handsome man behind the wheel when it came to a stop due to a red light. In an awe-like state while admiring the handsome stranger Joohyun unconsciously made an indirect wish aloud.
"Oh how I could somehow work for a guy like him and have a boyfriend as handsome as him."
Joohyun swallowed the piece shortly afterwards and almost choked on it a second later when at that moment the good-looking male turned his head in her direction. She averted her gaze and downed the iced tea to distract herself so that it didn't look like she was just staring creepily at him. She eyed the vehicle and the man a moment later just as he had driven off when the light turned green. Joohyun sighed in relief as she shook her head at the situation. She tenderly placed the rest of the gemstones into one of her purse's pockets before enjoying the rest of her lunch and returning to work afterwards forgetting about what she had just done.
When she returned home later that day and entering her room Joohyun noticed that the doll from Flesh had changed it's overall appearance. She clearly remembered that it was still a wooden-like doll with no apparent features when she left this morning. She picked up the now human-like doll and admired how handsome it had become despite the same string tied around its neck. If she didn't know better, the doll's handsome appearance seemed almost familiar. Her fingers slightly held onto one of the bow-tied ends and contemplated if she wanted to pull it loose or not. While quietly staring at the doll she wondered why it had changed yet didn't resemble an exact person she had desired to replace Bogum.
"Wait a minute. Was it because of what happened earlier? Did I do something?"
Joohyun was immediately reminded of the gemstones from earlier. Her eyes widened as she realized that she may have made an unconscious wish when she tasted one.
"What's going to happen now?" She asked to no one in particular.
"Is it going to be bad or good?"
She glanced around her anxiously before settling her eyes onto the doll. She nodded with a determined face as it oddly gave her courage instead.
"Well, I've come this far."
Joohyun told herself as she slowly pulled the string of the bow-tied loose.
"Everything has been decided and I need to see it to the end."
Once the red string became detached from the humanized-like doll did the two items fly out of her hands and into the air. They swirled above her head and around the room before disappearing altogether in a bright yet dark reddish glow. Joohyun shield her eyes from the brightness before she blankly stared at the area where they were once floating before taking a deep breath. She inhaled deeply before releasing it and went about the rest of her day like nothing had occured and letting the grim reaper's doing do it's thing.

————————————
A/N: HI LOVE @crushzone !!!! I SMILE WHEN I SEE YOU IN MY NOTIFS GIRL I WORKED HARD ON YOURS OF COURSE💖 But no matter whaaaat I’m going to be very authentic in my matchups bc they’re based on compatibility and therefore, without further ado, lemme introduce you to your NEW BAE:
————————————
Tumblr media
KŌTARŌ BOKUTO 🦉
SFW:
so you’re a theatrical makeup artist.
Aight.
Mind if I offer you a word of advice? :
RUN
“DUDE THAT’S AMAZING IT LOOKS SO SICK!”
Startled by someone’s loud booming voice, you smudged the eyeliner you were applying to your actor’s face all over their forehead. Whipping around to see who had disrupted your work you were faced with a beautiful black and grey haired owl. A rather tall... and very attractive ‘beautiful black and grey haired owl.’
He started walking around the dressing room like he owned the place, touching everything.
“Excuse me, you don’t have a badge. You can’t be backstage—!”
“Pretty obvious don’t you think, Miss ________?”
You didn’t take his bait, refusing to give this stranger your name. Bokuto shrugged.
“Well since I don’t know your name I shall label thee—Miss HOT GIRL of the 9 Kingdoms!” He nudged the knight actor who was sitting in your makeup chair with his elbow. “Did I sound 15th century ish or what??” The owl turned to you expecting to be praised. “I had to meet the person who made the medieval vampire look so scary in the last act. But that guy with the lights didn’t tell me anything about you being so hot.”
You were speechless because he was hot too
But he shouldn’t be back here so you tried to shoo him out anyway
He allowed you to try to shove him out but he was way bigger than you so nice try sis
When he yawned while you panted because you weren’t able to budge him an inch....
Bokuto wagered that he would leave if you agreed to make him look like the Hulk with your makeup skills for a Halloween party he had to go to
You didn’t really want to because you were a professional and you had no idea who this owl was but because you had 15 minutes until the second act and you needed peace and quiet if you were going to finish your job!!! ....
( This boy was not peace NOR quiet )
You agreed.... but because you answered so fast Bokuto kicked it up one notch
Prince of pushing his luck (king is reserved for Shōyo‘s extra ass)
He pretended to allow you to push him out of the makeup room a few steps but before you closed the door he stuck his foot between the door so it couldn’t close.
Smiling, he peered back in, looking down at you:
“AND...... you have to agree to go on a date with me. Tomorrow night?”
“Ugh FINE!”
Bo removed his foot and let himself out with a bounce in his step.
SERIOUSLY WHO LET THIS MAN BACKSTAGE......
Needless to say, after a few dates, mans won you over like he wins EVERYONE over
It surprised you how comfortable you became with him but he just has that affect on people
***
In terms of your athletic relationship Bokuto does many things:
He pushes you to go to the gym with him for one
He signs the two of you up for impromptu Beginner 30-day challenges that you both must stick to
So every morning for 30-days straight he jumps on you in bed to wake you up:
“NIN BABY TIME TO HIT THE GYM. BABY NIN TIME TO GET IN SOME SEXY GYM SHORTS. MON BÉBÉ NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNN—“
“Kōtarō, please shut up.”
he doesn’t
He drags you there and eventually you get back into the swing of things.. killing it in the weight room with your supportive man cheering on your every rep!
You don’t even need him to wake you up during the second challenge!
Your volleyball player boyfriend also signs you up (without permission) for the neighborhood soccer team that Akaashi’s girlfriend is already on
You hated it at first because it was uncomfortable going back after not playing for so long but you soon realized that all the girls there were ex-athletes too and not stars
You formed amazing new girl friendships (especially with Akaashi’s gf) and double dates with them were one of your favourite nights of the week!
You owed that happiness in your life all to your Owl 🦉🥰
He and Akaashi came to every soccer game y’all had and you and the three of you went to all of Bokuto’s games, obviously
Btw you all were FITTTTTT OML
***
In addition...
You already know that your man finds your artistic talents insanely fascinating
On your first anniversary together Bokuto gifted you with a new paint set and new French stand:
Tumblr media
Because he admires you Bokuto also tries to draw and paint seriously just like you
You stand over his shoulder and give him corrections and baby owl learns so fast it’s amazing
You two make ‘paint night’ a thing when you move in together and it’s always the most fun event!!!!
Bokuto CONSTANTLY and I mean CONSTANTLY asks for you to add him to the comic you’re writing but you say no because he wouldn’t fit in
He sulks but one day you surprise him by showing him that you drew a cute soaring black and gray owl in the background of almost every outdoor scene in your comic,
you pointed out that it was him
BOKUTOOOO WAS SOOOOO HAPPY
HE WAS SHOUTING FROM THE ROOFTOPS
He called Akaashi right away and almost cried tears of joy hahahahaha
***
Your contingent based lifestyle has saved your reckless boyfriend’s life and career many-a-times
It’s one of the things he loves most about you.
Also, it is important to mention that he is in LOVE with your laugh
Bby owl does anything to hear it and showers your face with kisses when you laugh to draw it out
He loves you so freaking much
When you don’t make sense and speak gibberish in public because your awkward side randomly comes out......your boyfriend loves to make fun of you:
“Huh? Nin, that wasn’t Japanese, that wasn’t Thai and that definitely wasn’t English. What planet is my adorable baby girl from, again? And how do I return her in exchange for a floating space car instead?!”
suh cute
All of Bokuto’s teammates really like you because you work in conjunction with Akaashi which means you actually have the magic ability to get Bokuto out of emo mode even faster than his best friend 🤯🤯🤯
When he’s at an away game in emo mode his teammates will literally FaceTime you and point their phone in his general direction
“Hey, Kōtarō!!!! Look, Nin’s on the phoneeee!”
Bby owl turns around slowly when he was sulking in the corner and when he sees you on the screen he’s running and jumping on whoever is holding your phone.”
“Kōtarō baby. You’re going to stop this emo mode right now. If not I won’t let you paint me nude like we discussed.”
mans was like: 😨😨😨😨🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
YEP the next second you see him hitting his best practice spikes and his teammate thanks you profusely
You do this several times until Kōtarō just knows to not go into emo mode anymore because you won’t be happy
A year into his professional volleyball career The Black Jackal’s coach sent a surprise fruit bouquet to your work one time:
Tumblr media
With a note that read:
To Nin,
Thanks.
Thanks a lot.
Love,
The Team
***
I know you don’t really like people who are considered “too loud” and Bokuto is like...... “MEGA LOUD 🎙 “ but you and Akaashi work together to quiet your boy down as he gets older
He’s perfect
And you love him
***
OKAY THIS IS THE FUNNIEST day THING:
You know how you like standing up for people (even strangers) and stuff?
Well one day, you and Bokuto get caught on a show called WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
Tumblr media
Where the two of you cussed out this cat-abusing actor on the show in a convincing scenario!
It was PRICELESS
Bokuto literally tells everyone that y’all are movie stars because of it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
***
More in the relationship:
Bo is always singing with you 💞 when y’all make breakfast it becomes a national sport to sing at the top of your lungs!!
And when he sees you eat chips with chopsticks he’s pulling a Hinata “🤩🤩🤩” face .
He begs you to teach him how
So you try
......and try
..................and try
He can’t do it bruv 😞
You see bby Owl’s emo mode return for the first time in like a year when the chip shatters between his sticks again
This time, you have to enlist Akaashi as the FaceTime saviour and Keiji just tells him:
“Bokuto. You should prefer eating chips with your hands anyway. It gets to your mouth faster.”
cue Bo’s 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 face
........And all is well again
There’s more:
So you’re a workaholic?
Bokuto is fine with that. He just makes you promise that he gets to take you out on your lunch breaks a few times a week or whenever he can
He’s so sweet and your coworkers are BIG jealous of your relationship
Your man BEGSSSSS you to teach him Thai but you find it too hard so when he’s travelling on a long flight he spends the time learning the language on YouTube (and actually get decent at it) so that he can understand you when you’re sleepy😴🥺💕
When Bokuto surprises you by wishing you goodnight in Thai before he falls asleep (while you’re giving him head rubs), your heart explodes BECAUSE why is he the cutest thing in the world ?!?!?!
RELATIONSHIP COMMUNICATION:
You don’t text/you’re bad at texting? That’s fine, mainly because bby owl is so busy with volleyball anyway, but if you don’t text him back when he is feeling needy the boy will call you 20 times in a row
When you finally pick up, your heart is beating like thinking it’s an emergency
But he will answer saying:
“Oh, no emergency. I just want booty pics. Please, Nin babyyyyy?”
you’re like: 😑
ANOTHER CUTE THING YOUR MAN DOES?????
AIGHT:
It’s cringey but.......
When you’re at work all day doing makeup and he’s home he will send you pics throughout the day of him taking care of your plants like they are y’alls newborn children:
Tumblr media
His text:
Baby look!!! Ollie the Orchid grew to 7 inches today!!! Yesterday he was 6.8 inches!!!!! They grow up so fast 😭😭😭”
Your reply:
Not quite as long as your dick, Bo
His reply:
I hate when you get me horny when I’m trying to take care of the kiiiids 😭😭😭😭
Dkm
Of all the factors you look for in a man, Bokuto has all of them
Like I said he becomes much more mature when you and Akaashi are his closest compadres
What people don’t know is that Kōtarō is actually very mature he is just a hardcore optomist (besides emo mode lmao) so people often mistake him as immature or dumb
But He’s far from it and you see that everyday
It’s why you fell for him
When dealing with serious issues that life has to handle, you see a different side of Bokuto, a real side, the side he shows in every tough volleyball game when he makes you metaphorically step behind him so he can deal with any problem that comes your way
He would literally withstand all your battles if that meant you’d remain happy forever
We stan a relationship like yours💞
NSFW:
okay so you know how you chill in ballet 🩰 stretches sometimes?
THAT DRIVES KŌTARŌ WILD.
It turns him on so much and he is constantly testing how flexible you are in the bedroom
When you keep meeting his expectations he is POUNDING you cause he is so turned on
He fucking loves it
It also turns him on when you’ll be acting shy and stuff but then randomly you’ll lead your neighbourhood soccer team like a BAD BITCH
When he sees that he’s already asking Akaashi how long until the game ends because he’s horny:
Akaashi deadpans. “Too much information. And the game just started 3 minutes ago. Get a water and calm yourself.”
Bo is sad but it makes for one hell of a I’m-proud-of-you sexscape when you get home from your game!!
Your dirty jokes also turn Bokuto on.
A lot.
A lot a lot:
“Bo.....I was joking.”
“I know but if I hear the word ‘dick’ coming out of your mouth I automatically think of you blowing me so now I want us to go home.” He whines.
You sigh. He’s lucky he’s so fucking hot.
When you’re playing street fighter every night this boy will not leave you alone until you cockwarm him
“Nin can you pleaseeeeee warm my cock while you train? I miss you.”
Your concentration turns him on so he has to ask nicely 😊
You love his dick so of course you oblige
Bby owl is so happy just sitting there being in your company and in your warmth but sometimes or every time he ends up thrusting into you
Sometimes while he’s giving you deep slow thrusts he orders you to keep playing or he won’t get you off
Damn 🤤
Let’s not forget also that you drive your man wild by walking around the house in hoodies all the time and nothing else
Every day, another hoodie will be found in various RANDOM places in the house because Bo flings it off you before he makes love to you wherever, and they go missing
Finally, when you get all sad and pouty because one of your baker trials goes to shit (ruined chocolate brownies this time, boo 💔), your boyfriend is taking your hand gently in an instant, leading you to the bedroom:
“Don’t be sad my beautiful girl, you know how much I hate seeing you sad. It makes me sad.! Here, come in the room and sit on my face—I promise I’ll make you feel better.”
WELL DAMN—😳💦
Maybe you should screw up brownie recipes more often.
————————————
A/N: do you know the show what would you do??? Watch it on YouTube if you haven’t haha I couldn’t stop thinking about you and Bokuto being on it after reading your matchup profile!!!! I hope you liked it bb! Give me all your reactions, I want all the smoke 💞💞💞

THE YEAR IN FIGHTING GAMES: 1993
As the original release of Street Fighter II turns 30 this year, we are taking a look at the landscape of fighting games between 1991 and 2021 on a year by year basis!
This week, Shaun Eddleston takes a look at 1993…
1993 was arguably the year that truly saw which directions the fighting game genre was heading in.
Street Fighter II had been out for 2 years by this point, with a couple of great updates under its belt to keep things feeling fresh and exciting, and Mortal Kombat smashed its way into the scene with its digitised graphics and bloody violence making it the “cool kid” on the scene. It seemed like most games were now trying to play catchup with the bigger games, or genuinely trying to innovate and do something different.
Here’s a look at 10 games from 1993 to see what went down…
SEGA’s first ever foray into the world of 2D fighting games arrived in the form of Eternal Champions. Based around nine fighters from various points in history fighting to reclaim their souls after meeting untimely deaths, its crystal clear that Eternal Champions attempted to ride the coattails of pretty much every other successful fighting game that came before it.
While credit can be given for the game being launched on a console rather than in arcades (a rather unusual release strategy during this time!), the game’s look came across as a choppier, poorly executed version of both Street Fighter II and Fatal Fury. The characters themselves range from a 1920s detective, a prehistoric caveman and a ninja to a wizard, a cybersoldier and *reads notes*… a martial arts-trained scientist who’s also a vampire?!
Perhaps more famously, Eternal Champions was known better for the incredibly gory stage fatalities that could be pulled off. Obviously taking inspiration from Mortal Kombat and trying its best to outdo the violence, from characters being impaled on top of the Washington monument, being chewed up by dinosaurs or being burned alive at the stake to a painfully long and boring trap that sees the defeated opponent dropping through several sets of blades/axes/knives, becoming more dismembered as it goes along.
Some of the horrific violence is so over the top that its genuinely funny, so it’s a shame that the game itself is a bit of an underwhelming experience.
While 1992’s Fatal Fury 2 was a solid release in its own right, many fans were left disappointed by the omission of a number of the original game’s characters. Fatal Fury Special fixed this in a big way, bringing back characters such as Duck King, Tung Fu Rue and the original baddie, Geese Howard, while also tuning up the game’s combo system and introducing a faster game speed for good measure.
The game also featured a secret character in the form of Ryo Sakazaki, the protagonist of the Art Of Fighting series. This crossover between the franchises was a popular choice from SNK (and a no-brainer, considering both of the games series exist in the same universe story-wise), so much so that it inspired them to push development of The King Of Fighters ‘94 in 1994.
We’ll talk more about that next week though…
Thanks to the ongoing success of Street Fighter II, there were countless titles throughout the 90’s that tried to imitate all kinds of stuff from the game in an attempt to get in on that sweet, sweet arcade money. A shining example of this was Fighter’s History, which is one of (if not THE) biggest copycat fighting game of the era. Everything here feels like a retread of Capcom’s biggest game, but nowhere near as satisfying.
The game sees eight international fighters travel across the world to compete in a tournament and see who is deemed the “best fighter”. Sound familiar?
Everything from the colour of the health bars and sound of the blocking hit effects felt like they were directly lifted from Street Fighter II, so much so that Capcom actually tried to sue the game’s developer for shamelessly ripping them off.
Somehow, Capcom lost the case, and Fighter’s History went on to get a sequel!
1992’s Mortal Kombat was a smash hit in arcades and on home consoles, showing a completely different style to the cartoonish fighting games being developed at the time. Fan were left clamouring for more violence, more characters and more special moves, and man, did the sequel delive on these demands (and then some!).
Mortal Kombat II is fondly remembered as one of the absolute best games in the MK franchise, as it boasted improved graphics, more fatalities and more secrets to be discovered. The game was also eager to show to everyone how it didn’t take itself too seriously either, with the addition of “FRIENDSHIP” and “BABALITY” moves, which saw fighters do the polar opposite of the infamous fatalities, or simply turn the opponent into a baby, respectively.
Midway did an excellent job of improving every aspect of the first game, and proved to everyone that the success of the franchise’s first entry was no fluke.
This is also the game where, as a kid, I personally found out why Mortal Kombat was so controversial. Thanks to the first Mortal Kombat’s heavily censored Super Nintendo port, which saw all the fatalities removed and the blood switched with sweat, Mortal Kombat II had much more of an impact on me.
Not content with already creating a handful of standout fighting game franchises by this point, SNK’s latest entry in the genre was a different kind of beast altogether.
Instead of the turbocharged, high intensity action that we were used to in most fighting games of this era, Samurai Shodown slowed things down considerably, matching the vibe of many of the old samurai movies it took inspiration from.
That’s not to say that it isn’t intense, quite the opposite really. The slower pace is accompanied by much higher damage from attacks, multiplying the high risk/high reward factor immensely. When all it takes is just one or two quick attacks to get bodied by an opponent, the need to strategise instead of mindlessly button-mashing is essential.
The game was also one of the best looking 2D fighting games at the time as well, with vibrant backgrounds, great character design and flourishes of bloody violence whenever a particularly nasty final blow hits.
Professional wrestling was HUGE in the 90’s, and the goofy, theatrical nature of the sport lent itself well to the world of video games.
Capcom’s wrestling game is an interesting on, as it not only featured a cast of mostly original characters, but the game fits canonically into the shared universe of Street Fighter and Final Fight too.
Final Fight’s musclebound mayor Mike Haggar is a playable character, and several wrestlers in the game have direct ties to fighters in Capcom’s most popular series (Guile has a brother?!)!
While the sequel, Ring Of Destruction, played more like a traditional 2D Versus fighting game, Saturday Night Slam Masters is a more traditional arcade experience that allows up to 4 players to play in a match simultaneously.
It’s loud, silly and over the top fun. Ya know, like wrestling is!
The juggernaut of the genre that was Street Fighter II got yet another update in 1993, and this was a massive one.
Four brand new fighters joined the roster - Cammy, Fei Long, T, Hawk and Dee Jay - which now meant that the game’s roster was double that of the 1991 release, the character selection screen got a graphical overhaul, players could choose from 8 different colour palettes for their fighter, the voiceover work was improved on and the entire game was tweaked and rebalanced.
Super Street Fighter II also introduced “Tournament Mode”, which only available in arcades when four Super Street Fighter II arcade cabinets were connected together. The home console versions of the game also included tournaments as a separate game mode.
This fighter based on everyone’s favourite sewer-dwelling, pizza eating reptiles is a particularly interesting one, as the experience players got was completely dependent on which version they were playing.
First of all, the NES version. Konami’s final NES game (in the US and Europe at least) and one of the only fighting games for the system that saw a release during the 90s boom of the genre, this scaled-back version didn’t even see a release in Japan. In the single-player Story mode, players choose one of the four turtles as they hold a contest amongst themselves to see who is fit to take on Shredder's challenge. After defeating the first 3 opponents, the player proceeds to fight Casey Jones and then Hothead before the final battle with the Shredder.
Then we had the SNES version, which was also known as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles V: Tournament Fighters (in an attempt to continue the success of the arcade beat-’em-ups) and in Japan as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Warriors. This version uses a similar premise to the NES version in that a fighting tournament is announced, only this time Shredder is a part of the tournament, so the mean, green party machines enter in an attempt to stop him.
The game’s actual story mode was different though, as the turtles must rescue April O'Neil and Splinter from Shredder's clutches. The Turtles must travel across the US in their Turtle Blimp, defeating other fighters and collecting information. Only the four of them can be playable whereas the other characters (as well as a rad looking turtle clone) are the opponents. This version had a bigger roster (12 fighters from the TMNT universe), featured super meters, and the game’s turbo mode at its highest setting was much faster than Street Fighter II Turbo’s was!
And finally, the SEGA Mega Drive version, which has a single player mode that features the turtles and their allies traveling to various planets in Dimension X, fighting against clones of themselves, as they seek to rescue Splinter from Krang. After defeating the eight clones, the player travel to the final three stages to fight against a Triceraton, Krang's Android, and Karai. The game has a two player mode, as well as a practice mode in which the player faces the computer in a 1-round match, and a "Tournament" where the player must defeat 88 opponents with one life gauge.
Cowabunga!
The first fighting game to use 3D graphics truly felt “next-gen” at the time, and had it not been released, then we likely wouldn’t have ever got consoles such as the SEGA Saturn or the original PlayStation either.
It wasn’t just the games impressive visuals and sound that were unique either, as the game focused on more “realistic” moves based in actual combat sports and martial arts as opposed to the cartoonish and OTT antics seen in many 2D games of the era. The game didn’t have any real “story” to it either, just a fighting tournament to show off the graphics and smooth gameplay.
It’s no exaggeration to say that Virtua Fighter was unlike any fighting game that came before it, and is rightfully considered to be one of the greatest technical achievements of that era.
ADK’s World Heroes also got a sequel this year, and saw improvements across the board.
With more fighters to choose from (six new characters joined the roster), more moves to execute, and more stages to fight in, World Heroes 2 simply offered much more variety than the first game.
One of the most interesting additions to the game was the option to choose an entirely new lifebar setting. When switched on, the regular health gauges at the top of the screen are transformed into a single bar that both players now share. This lifebar will go back and forth as players inflict damage on each other, tug-of-war style, and a KO occurs when one side of the bar is completely depleted!
So, there we have it.
1993 was truly the year where the fighting game genre started to expand past your standard “SFII Clone” fare. Street Fighter II continued to make headlines with its huge update, Mortal Kombat II once again set the bar for how violent fighting titles should be handled and Virtua Fighter’s massively impressive leap into the third dimension helped to give players a glimpse at the future of not only fighting games, but video games as a whole!
Next week, we’ll be taking a look at 1994: a year that birthed several more fighting game franchises!
Did we miss anything from 1993 that’s worth mentioning?
Let us know in the comments below!

Hotwax
Song: Hotwax from the album Odelay by Beck.
Summary: Scott's’ pleasantly surprised to see you at Tony’s costume party.
Pairing: Female reader x Scott Lang
Length: 1,499 words
A/N: Drink, drugs, bit o’ smut. This one went a bit weird. See here for what this is all about.
***
For some reason, Tony decided to throw a costume party where everybody dressed up as another hero.
Sam’s in a red wig, pretending to be Nat. Nat’s wandering around, wielding a toy Mjölnir. Thor convinced Tony to build him a suit, although Tony refused to put any fancy gadgets in it, because he doesn’t want to be responsible for that, not after the last party.
Scott had gone into full fanboy mode when he’d gotten the invite, which is why he’s spending Saturday night in the captain's clothes.
It’s his only chance to be Captain America, he wasn’t going to pass that up. He wishes he’d thought it through though. Cap’s a lot bigger than him, so the sleeves keep flopping down over his hands, the crotch of the suit is by his knees, and he’s had to roll up the bottoms of the trousers so that he doesn’t walk on them.
Plus, the shield is a lot heavier than he was expecting. Still, it was nice of Cap to lend him his stuff, even if Scott now feels very silly sitting in the kitchen watching everyone milling about around him. Perching on a bar stool where he could still reach drinks was definitely the best plan.
He knows he’s drinking too much, too quickly, but it’s just nerves. He doesn’t know anyone particularly well, and it’s even more confusing now that everyone is dressed as each other. Some of the costumes are better than others and he has to do a double take occasionally just to make sure exactly who it is who’s come over to the bar.
Clint - also dressed as Nat, but fully made up and squeezed into her tac suit with the zipper pulled down, at Nat’s own insistence really confused Scott.
Not that he should be surprised. Of course Nat would help her best friend do a good job of impersonating her.
“Wanna smoke some grass?” Clint had offered, and it’s only his voice that made Scott realise it’s not the real Nat.
“No, I’m good thanks,” he notes, not wanting to get up and shuffle awkwardly around in Cap’s clothes.
“You don’t have to behave like Cap, just because you’re dressed like him,” Clint teases. “Are you sure you’re good?”
Scott just gives him a goofy grin and a thumbs up. Getting a little stoned would probably be good for him right now, but he doesn’t want to explain his costume problems.
Tony gets the karaoke machine set up, and Scott swivels round to watch as T’Challa takes the mic to kick things off with a Beck number. He’d told Scott earlier how much he’s enjoying American music now that he’s been spending time at the Wakandan outreach centre in Oakland. They’d made vague plans for Scott to visit the centre at some point, given how close it was to him. But the amount T’Challa is enjoying singing along to his new favourite, Beck, is nowhere near as much as Sam is enjoying the fact that T’Challa chose to come to the party dressed as him.
“An actual king dressed as me, so clearly I’m better than all of y’all,” Sam calls out when T’Challa’s finished.
“Hey, there’s a god dressed as me,” Tony argues, getting up to take the mic from T’Challa. Tony’s also dressed as Cap, except his costume was made to fit, making Scott groan a little and reach for another bottle.
He almost spills it down him when Pepper taps him on the shoulder. He swivels round to face her, almost choking on his drink when he sees who’s next to her.
“Scott, I’d like to introduce you to the newest member of Stark Industries. This is Y/N. Y/N, this is Scott,” she says before leaving the two of you alone.
It’s not just that you’re stunning and sexy that has Scott coughing violently, it’s your costume.
“Y-you-you’re me,” he eventually splutters. You’re the only Antman he’s seen at the whole party, and in all honesty, he wasn’t expecting to see any.
“Yeah, I wanted to dress as my favourite,” you explain shyly.
“Me too,” Scott enthuses, before fully processing what you’ve said. “Wait. I’m your favourite?”
“Of course! I mean, the hacking thing was super cool. That’s my area of expertise, actually. I’m here as an ethical hacker to test any weaknesses in the Stark systems. And you explore the quantum realm, which sounds really interesting. And,” you lean in to whisper in Scott’s ear, “you’re definitely the most attractive.”
Scott’s face is blushing so hard, it’s definitely putting the red into red, white and blue. How could you think he was the most attractive when there’s a literal god in the room?
“I should get going,” you say, pulling away, worried that you’ve made things awkward.
“No, wait,” Scott says, grabbing your wrist. “I’m just shocked and flattered. There are so many cooler, sexier people here, and you think I’m the best?”
You nod, chewing your lip.
“Well, I think you’re the best. Apart from Cap. But he dressed as Thor, and you dressed as me, so that makes you better than him, in turns of costumes, and I’m just going to stop talking.”
Scott wishes he could talk to you without seeming like a gibbering idiot, but you stand there smiling at him.
“Just a question,” you say, “but couldn’t you grow a little so that Cap’s suit fit you better?”
“I honestly didn’t think to wear my suit underneath,” Scott admits. That would’ve been a good idea though.
“We could go back to your room and get it?” you suggest, a glint of mischief in your eyes. “Or just go back to your room?”
It’s worth a shot. You can see by how he’s reacting to you that he’s interested as well, and who knows when he’ll be in New York next.
Scott’s lost for words. He can’t believe that you’re propositioning him. Slipping down from the stool, he shyly offers his hand to you, even though it’s covered by the sleeve of Cap’s suit. Relief washes through him when you slip your hand into his, letting him lead the way to his room.
“An excellent union, Man of Ants,” Thor booms across the party as you’re about to leave.
Scott tries to hurry out of the door, to get away from all the shouting and cheering, succeeding in tripping over the bottoms of Cap’s trousers and falling flat on his face.
“Are you ok?” you ask, helping him up.
“Face is a little sore, think my pride is more damaged though,” Scott admits, utterly embarrassed.
“Here, let me kiss it better,” you reply, moving Scott back against the wall, kissing his lips eagerly and reaching a hand up to run through his hair.
“Good god,” he gasps when you pull away. He’s never been kissed quite like that before, with a gentle enthusiasm that leaves him groaning for more. He hitches the trousers up to his thighs, taking your hand again and almost dragging you to his room. It feels like the longest walk of his life, even though it’s only five minutes.
The two of you lurch through the door, slamming it shut behind you. There’s a race to get out of your respective costumes before Scott stops abruptly, suddenly self-conscious in his underwear.
“Are you sure? I mean it’s not too late to go back to the party?” he asks, wrapping an arm around himself.
“Absolutely sure,” you answer with a smile, and it’s the most beautiful thing, apart from Cassie, that he’s ever seen.
Scott exhales shakily as you sink to your knees in front of him, soft carpet against your bare skin.
“May I?” you ask as your fingers reach out for the waistband of his underwear.
“Y-yeah.”
He’s already half-hard and the way you’re licking up and down his shaft, lapping around his sensitive head has his legs shaking violently.
“Sit down, Scott, before you fall down,” you say with a smile, and he shuffles backwards until the backs of his legs hit the bed frame and he falls backwards with a small cry.
You climb on top of him, leaning down so that your breath is tickling his ear.
“Would you like me like this?” you whisper.
“Oh my god, yes,” Scott huffs out, hardly able to believe his luck.
You get back up and find your handbag, discarded in the pile of clothes. You rummage through until you find your purse, with the condom you keep just in case.
Scott’s glad you thought of that, because he didn’t want to have to ask F.R.I.D.A.Y. where to find one.
Opening the packet, you roll it down onto Scott’s erection. For a miniature sized hero, there’s nothing miniature about this part of him.
Easing down onto him, Scott begins to thrust up into you. He hopes to be invited to a lot more of Stark’s parties if you’ll be at them too.
