Accidental Bride Sacrifice ; requested by @starlightcat04!
Danny has long since gotten used to the feel of summonings. They don’t happen often, but sometimes the right components are put together to force him into answering, and he’d have to go as the new Ghost King.
Which no one told him was a thing! He hadn’t protested too much about the whole Ghost King deal when they finally told him about it after he graduated high school. It gave him a good excuse to ditch life in the living realm and not worry about college or a career, and let him really embrace his ghost side.
The summonings are a problem, though. They always feel staticky and bad, like a dumpster that just got struck by lightning. The taste of iron on his tongue, a clear sign of blood being spilled, lets him know that it would be one of end the world for us summonings, because some people can’t put in the effort to do it themselves, apparently.
But this time, the summoning feels different.
Danny pauses, eyes going unfocused in the middle of his conversation with Jazz. He had been looking forward to spending the week with her, now that she’s on winter break, but his luck is as bad as always.
“I’m being summoned,” he tells her, cutting off her rant about a transphobic professor she had.
“Oh, no. Do you need me to do anything? Should I go with you to beat up whoever it is that’s summoning you?”
Danny tilts his head to the side, considering. The taste of blood is noticeably absent. In fact, this summoning pull doesn’t make him feel sick at all. It makes him feel warm, as if he’s just been wrapped in a hug.
“No,” he says. “I think I’m good. This one feels different.”
“A good different?” Jazz asks, worry clear in her voice.
“Yeah. A good different. I’ll come back soon, okay?”
“Alright. Be careful, Danny.” Jazz pulls him into a quick hug, then steps back to watch as Danny stops fighting the pull of the summoning and disappears into a swirling white rings that flashes into existence behind him, blinding her for a moment, and is gone when she manages to blink the spots out of her vision.
For a minute, Danny drifts in a void of stillness, traveling through the realms as the summoning draws him closer to the correct realm. And then he’s rising out of the ground in a dark building made of concrete, candles of green flame scattered all over the place.
“Great One!” someone in a hooded cloak cries, raising his arms in jubilation. “Our calls have been answered!”
“I’ll fucking kill you!” a mechanical voice yells from farther back. When Danny looks past the cultists’ heads, he spots a man in a red hood and leather jacket chained to a pole, along with a bunch of other people in strange costumes tied up, desperately trying to free themselves.
“Silence!” The leader of the cult, or who Danny assumes is the leader, snaps at the hooded man and gestures to the people off to his left. They force another costumed person forward, this one in yellow armor. He can see the blood running down their face from beneath their helmet and from their nose, dark lines of blood cutting through their brown skin.
The cultists throw the armored person forward, forcing them to kneel. Then they bow to Danny and step back.
“Great One,” the leader says, voice unpleasantly reverent and grating, “Welcome to the mortal realms. We offer you this sacrifice to feed your strength. He will make a fine general for your undead army in your crusade to rid this world of its filth.”
The people in the back begin shouting all together, panicked voices overlapping, and Danny is left staring down at the cultists in shock.
The summoning had felt so nice. What the hell was this? He did not sign up for another ‘end of days’ insane cult. He just wanted to be hugged.
His silence makes the cultists nervous. They begin to shift uneasily, whispering to each other, and the leader clears his throat, then pulls a large crystal dagger out of his cloak. “We shall prove our devotion to you through an offering of a hero’s blood!”
And then he moves towards the sacrifice and Danny snaps out of his shock to yell, “Wait!”
The entire room freezes. Even the costumed people in the back go still.
Danny winces, then tries to smother his power, make himself more palatable to the humans of this dimension. “Wait,” he says again, and he sounds closer to human now. If he could, he would drop his ghost form entirely, but he knows better than to endanger himself like that. “What, exactly, did you summon me here for?”
The cult leader stares at him for a moment. “To… To rid the world of filth and allow your loyal followers to spread word of your power. You will be worshiped again, Great One, and serve as a reminder to man that Death shall always prevail.”
“Okay, I get that, but I was talking more along the lines of the summoning. What ritual did you use? What specifically were the summoning requirements?”
Normally, he’d be able to figure it out himself, but these cultists didn’t use a summoning circle. So they did something else, something less visible and therefore harder to figure out, in order to bring him here.
A woman standing off to the side speaks up, stepping forward hesitantly. “I had pieced together a few summoning spells from this book to bring you here. You had to accept our chosen sacrifice to your side in order for the summoning to work.”
“Hold up that book for me, please?”
She does, and Danny flies down to grab it from her hands. “Point out which lines you used,” he says, already reading a few of the words written down. It’s definitely ghostspeak written down, which should be near impossible for living humans to translate without being skilled in magic.
“Ah, these ones.” She points to each line, reading them out for him, and Danny starts understand what, exactly, went wrong.
“Is there a problem, Great One?”
Danny returns the book then floats over to the sacrifice and picks him up. The costumed people make alarmed noises, but quietly quiet down again when all Danny does is move him away from the cultists.
“Okay,” he says, “So. The lines you used to summon me were not translated properly. What you interpreted as ‘accepted to stay by the king’s side in loyalty and strength’ is not meant to be, like, him being part of my undead army or whatever. It’s a royal marriage vow.”
“They married us?” the sacrifice shouts, disbelieving. The cult leader buries his face in his hands and sighs.
“My deepest apologies, Great One. We meant no offense. We simply wanted to aid in your destruction of this depraved world.”
Danny scrunches his nose and shakes his head. “Yeah, that’s not gonna fly with me. I do not do the biding of random people, especially those who are ready to murder innocent people for no reason. Frighty, if you would.” He snaps his fingers, calling up Fright Knight who always enjoys getting to torment the people who summon Danny for murderous reasons.
Fright Knight appears in a swirl of darkness and screams. Shadows swallow the room, and when they recede, no cultists remain.
“Thanks, Frighty. Have fun with them. I need to figure out all… this.”
Fright Knight bows to him, then disappears. Danny lets out a breath, then floats down lower to be eye level with the sacrifice. “Hey,” he says gently, with a smile, “I’m so sorry they did this to you. I’m Danny. What’s your name?”
“Du— Uh, Signal,” the sacrifice says, sounding rather dazed.
“Signal,” Danny repeats. “Like… a traffic signal?”
“No. I mean, maybe? But it is Signal. That’s my hero name, not my real name.”
“Oh, you’re a hero!” His getup makes more sense now. Danny checks him over for any signs of injuries. So far, only his head and nose seem to be injured, but his wrists are tightly bound behind his back. Carefully, Danny calls upon his ice and shapes it into a sharp knife, then cuts through the zipties.
He helps Signal up to his feet, floating by his shoulder. “All good?”
“Yeah, man, all good. Let me just get the others free.”
“Oh, I can do it!” Danny flies over to the other costumed people, who must also be heroes. All it takes is one link in the chain being frozen and broken for the entire thing to go lax, allowing them to free themselves. Hooded guy spares Danny a single glance, then hurries over to Signal to check on him. The other three, a man with a blue bird across his chest, a blond girl with a yellow bat outline on her chest, and a guy with bandoliers and a golden bird emblem, all watch him warily as he floats back towards the center of the room.
“So,” the blue bird man says, “If they summoned you with a marriage vow, and you accepted, does that mean you’re planning to steal Signal away from us?” He’s smiling, but it’s not a nice smile.
“No! I had no idea they did this! I am so sorry you all got caught up in this. You most of all, Signal.”
Signal shrugs, nudging hood guy away from him. “Nah, man, it’s all good. This is definitely the better outcome.”
“I don’t know, being married off isn’t really a good thing.”
“Hey, at least they married me off to a decent guy.”
“You don’t know that,” Danny says, “What if I’m secretly evil?”
“If you were secretly evil, you’d be destroying the world right now. I think you’re fine.”
The blond girl waves at him, demanding his attention. “Quick question! They were calling you ‘Great One’. Are you a god or something?”
“Not really? I’m the Ghost King. So I’m a ghost who rules over other ghosts and also a majority of the Infinite Realms.”
She nods as if this is all totally normal for her, then shoots Signal a grin. “Congrats on bagging a king! Not the worst way to spend a night, right?”
“Can you break the marriage?” blue bird man asks, the lines of his shoulders tense.
Danny awkwardly rubs the back of his neck, not looking any of them in the eye. “I honestly don’t know. I can look for a way! But I genuinely have no clue. This was unexpected.”
“But you accepted.”
“I didn’t know what I expected! It just felt like a hug, and I wanted a hug! I thought I was being summoned for something nice for once!” Danny curls up, bringing his knees up to his chest, and hides his pout behind his hands. He knows he’s being childish, but he can’t help but be upset that he couldn’t have this one good experience from being Ghost King.
It’s always responsibilities and death cult summonings and fighting ghosts who don’t think he should be king. Sure there have been some good things, but they’re comparatively few when looking at all the other stress and pain that comes with the crown. Sue him for wanting to have a nice night for once. Hell, at this point, he’d take being summoned to help with some kid’s homework, because at least then he could have a quiet night helping someone.
“Hey, man, can you come down here?” Signal asks.
He wants to stay out of reach, hiding himself away for a bit longer, but Signal is his new, surprise, accidental husband, so Danny lowers himself to the ground and peeks through his fingers to look at him.
He tenses when Signal hugs him, soft and warm and comforting. It takes a moment for him to realize what’s going on, and then he’s melting into Signal’s embrace, dropping his hands to wrap them around Signal’s back.
Distantly, he can hear the other heroes talking quietly amongst themselves. He blocks out the sound as much as he can, determined to enjoy this hug while it lasts.
Which is… fairly long. Signal makes no moves to end the hug, so Danny closes his eyes to really savor the moment.
“So,” Signal murmurs into his ear, “As newlyweds, how about we get to know each other a bit better before we start working on fixing all this?”
“Really?”
“Yeah. Let’s ditch these guys and take some time to ourselves.”
“I promise I’ll get this fixed,” he says, just to make sure Signal knows. “Genuinely, I am so sorry to have married you through an old Realms vow when you had no say in it.”
“Hey, if it lands me a very nice, very attractive king, then I don’t mind at all. I could have done without the murderous cultists, though.”
Danny huffs out a small laugh. “Oh, for sure. Thanks for being so cool about this. Want me to fly us out of here?”
“Yes please,” Signal says. Danny smiles and tightens his grip on Signal, then lifts them both up. “I’ll see y’all later! Have fun with the rest of your patrols!” he calls out to the other heroes, who start shouting at him.
Danny flies them right out the roof before the other heroes figure out a way to kick his ass. The city they’re in is smoggy and dark, tall buildings rising up into the cloudy sky, and police sirens ring through the air. There’s no where that looks like a particularly nice spot to land for a conversation, so he asks Signal where he’d like to go and follows his directions from there.
They end up phasing through a building, then into the floor, which leaves them in what Signal calls The Hatch.
Danny takes a quick moment to freak out over being in a hero’s secret hide out, the composes himself and finally pulls away from Signal.
“So,” he starts, looking around The Hatch and taking in the giant computer, the workstation, the motorcycle farther down the way, “What did you—Woah!” Danny spins around, slamming a hand over his eyes the instant he realizes that Signal is taking off his helmet, leaving his face bare.
It’s not like he’d know who Signal is anyways, being from a different dimension, but it’s the principle of the matter.
Signal laughs when he sees Danny’s attempt to keep from looking at him. A warm hand wraps around his wrist and gently pulls it away. “It’s okay, Danny, you can look,” he says. “It would be pretty weird if my own husband didn’t know my face.”
Slowly, giving Signal to change his mind, Danny opens his eyes. He moves his gaze up, going from Signal’s armor to his face, his very cute face and his warm brown eyes, and Danny stares for a moment.
“Hi,” he whispers.
“Hi,” Signal says, fondness coloring his voice. “My name’s Duke. Are all Ghost Kings as cute as you?”
“Duke,” Danny repeats. “Hi. Um, no. The last one really sucked, actually, which is why I fought him. He was so bad the Infinite Realms didn’t want him anymore, so though I technically didn’t beat him in single combat, it was enough for the Infinite Realms to kick him out and get me on the throne.”
“Man, I can not wait to hear more of your stories. Think we got time for that while we search for a way to undo that marriage vow?”
Taking his chance, Danny says, “Sure! It’s a date.”
He’s awarded by Duke’s bright smile and idly wonders how long he can keep them married. Hopefully long enough for them to get into a real relationship where he can propose properly. And then he can get Jazz’s blessing too—
“Oh shit,” Danny realizes.
“What? What’s wrong?”
“I need to tell my sister or she’s going to actually kill me.”
Duke winces. “And I should probably tell the others before Spoiler makes a mess of things… B is not going to be happy with me.”
They share a despairing look, already dreading the amount of scoldings they’re both going to get. He’s not looking forward to it.
“...Put it off until tomorrow?”
Duke nods. “Yeah. That’s a tomorrow problem. For now, how about a late dinner?”
“Sounds perfect.”

୨୧ ꒰ the garden of eden ꒱ ୨୧ introduction.
౨ৎㅤwhen a woman walks into a flower shop, she finds her new obsession. the florist behind the counter.
“you’re in love with her.” a pause. “how could you?”
“how could i not be in love with her? don't you dare take this away from me.”
๋࣭ ⭑⚝⠀a yandere!maki zenin au — slasher!killer!maki x florist!fem!reader.
content warning / trigger warnings — DEATH, threatening, blood, murdering, sabotage, maki is a bad friend. obsession / yandere, stalking, manipulation, gaslighting. physical / sexual abuse attempts mentioned, assault, among others. ( please read the warnings at the beginning of each chapter for more info ).
˚₊‧꒰ა ☆ ໒꒱ ‧₊˚ character introduction ;
୨୧ MAKI ZENIN, 27.ㅤshe has a degree in biomedicine, because her family wanted a course involving the health area. uninterested in dating, very reserved and good with sports. most of her friends say she isolates too much. best friends with nobara kugisaki and yuta okkotsu since first year of highschool.
small fact: she's a killer.
maki believes being called a killer is being too much. she has muscles, she uses them when needed — or when she wants to. the first time it happened, it was out of need. it’s not something she does frequently, but she got taste over the thing. making inconveniences disappear. inconveniences usually are weird people around her and her family / friends.
୨୧ MAI ZENIN, 27.ㅤshe is a surgeon. has a fiancée, although she keeps them from the eyes of the public. always engaging in family events so they'll leave her alone. usually chitchats with her sister after working exhausting hours. best friends with momo nishimiya.
small fact: she's a good cook.
mai was raised in a sexist, cruel family center, which means she learned how a “real wife” should behave. surprisingly, she discovered that she enjoyed cooking, despite not putting in much effort due to lack of time.
୨୧ YUTA OKKOTSU, 27.ㅤa violinist on his free time and a college professor on the music major. very optimistic — only sometimes — and often too kind for his own good. a lot of people think he has this sinister, intimidating aura around him, when in reality, he's a sweetheart.
small fact: his first composition was in honor of his first love.
called “Rika”, yuta made a song that disturbs the comforted and comforts the disturbed — weaving a song that moves in waves. happy peace. bleedy dedication, scratching the ears. near-silenced notes, as a grieving heart feels. and finally, the peace returning: different sounding, but peace nonetheless. it represents his journey through grief.
୨୧ NOBARA KUGISAKI, 26.ㅤa fashion designer who doesn't accept being called an amateur. very determined and built a very successful clothing store. she recently moved into an apartment and wants to convince her girlfriend to move in together, but things are a little fresh, and she doesn't want to rush it.
small fact: her girlfriend is a florist (you).
things started in a very cliché way: nobara needed some flowers to put at the entrance to her store, so she stopped at your flower shop. your attitude made her fall in love instantly. you've only been dating for a few months, but she personally already sees herself marrying you. she would like you to meet her friends.

When his family disowned him, Dream hard nothing, he was practically a baby, had no money, no skills, and just the clothes on his back. He met Hob by accident, and he became Dreams best friend.
They looked out for each other, protected each other and became each other's best found family. For a time. So I would love urchin!dreamling - scamming food, huddling for warmth, the first/best time they scammed their way into night(s) at the poshest hotel in the city.
But again, time and circumstance separated them - one minute they were together all the time, the next their different choices drifted them apart. Hob became mob king of the city (no on was ever going to make him feel scared again); Dream was the prettiest arm candy you could rent by the hour (it's not whoring if you don't respect any of these men).
Hob and Dream think of each other fondly, but never expected to see each other again, the way of street life, but then Dream is bought as a gift for the mob boss, by an ambitious Burgess. Dream is half way through the first bit of Hob's blowjob before he even looks up enough to recognize Hob (or Hob has a very distinctive intimate scar that Dream gave him/or would be one of the few people to have seen from their time as urchins together).
Okay, so Hob doesn't like Burgess and doesn't want to do business with him, but how would it look if Hob turns down the offered blowjob? Hob doesn't recognize Dream until after Dream recognizes him.
It's too dangerous for them to let on that they know each other, especially with Burgess around (any leverage he might get on Hob would be bad). So Hob has Matthew bring Dream to him after the meeting ends//the next day.
Woohoo yes!!! Mob Hob is very 👀🔥👅 to me.
Dream looks up midway through the blowjob (it's part of his "routine" to look the client in the eyes, its a power move and it generally makes them finish quicker). And that's when Hob recognises those bright blue irises he hasn't seen in years. He's a professional, though. His expression doesn't change from neutral, and he manages to keep his arousal (it's not that hard to be hard around Dream, lets be real). He pretends not to know anything, but he can also see the hint of recognition in Dream’s eyes. Of course he'd recognise the massive scar that runs down the meat of Hob’s thigh: Dream sewed it up himself and nursed Hob through the infection that followed.
Next day, though? Once Matthew brings Dream in and the door is locked, Hob is flushing and practically begging for forgiveness ("I'm so sorry you had to swallow my cum" really isn't the reunification speech he'd imagined, but that's what comes out). Dream shrugs. He doesn't hate his job, he's just bored.
And so Hob makes an offer. An offer of marriage, no less. He wants Dream to be his mob wife. To be at his side and show off his wealth and power. He'll make sure that no one ever rents Dream out ever again - this marriage is to be monogamous, he's not going to use Dream as a bargaining piece. He wants them to be together like when they were kids, only this time? They'll rule the city. Their partnership will make them stronger than ever.
Dream tilts his head, thinks a while, and accepts on one condition. He doesn't want a sham of a marriage. He wants love. If Hob won't love him, then the answer is no.
And of course Hob has been half in love with Dream for most of his life, and he doesn't think it will be hard to fall the other half too.
The whole underground side of the city is shocked to hear that the mob king has finally chosen a queen. That pretty little whore with the big blue eyes, marrying the most ruthless man in the city? They think that Hob must be crazy. There are several attempts on his life and several skirmishes between his people and others trying their luck. The problem is, now Hob has something to protect, and he'll never let his power slip from his grasp.
As if to prove it, he fucks Dream for the first time against the floor to ceiling window at his penthouse - in front of the whole city. It's their city now.

Aemond SFW Alphabet
A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)
In the beginning Aemond is a bit of a cold fish - he's not overly tactile, even with his own family it's just gentle touches to the arm. It would take him a while to warm up to the idea of being affectionate. When he is comfortable his partner can expect lingering touches on their arms, soft kisses to their temple and a warmth in the way he looks at them that will make them swoon.
B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)
Aemond is awkward as fuck. Any friendship would be a slowburn with the other person having to initiate it. While he's desperate for companionship, the absolute roasting he's received from Aegon, Luke and Jace while growing up makes him naturally suspicious of people's intentions. Once he realises it's genuine, he's ride or die for them.
C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)
Cuddling isn't something that Aemond is used to. Again, this will be a slow burner and something he has to warm up to the idea of. At first he'd be weirded out by having someone in such close proximity to him and be vexed that they're laying on his hair. He grows to love it though and will eventually be the first to reach out for a snuggle while in bed.
D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)
Aemond wants to get married and have children, no doubt about that. Absolutely clueless when it comes to cooking and cleaning though, lucky for him he has servants.
E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)
Break ups in Westeros don't really happen in quite the same way they do in the real world. He'd either tell his partner he's now betrothed and they can't see each other anymore, or if it's a marriage or a betrothal, send them a letter dissolving it and have them sent away.
F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)
Aemond is foaming at the mouth to get married. He'd of course follow all of the correct protocol and procedure - a year long courtship, etc. He's a man of duty, after all!
G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)
Very gentle physically, at least in the beginning, as physical touch is note his forte. Emotionally, he's quite guarded which can make him come across as stand offish. He's socially awkward, so will likely say a few things that upset his partner without meaning to.
H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)
In the beginning, no. Again, not something Aemond is used to. The first time he hugs his partner will feel stiff and uncomfortable, as he gets used to it it becomes his means of greeting them while in private. A full body enveloping, where he turns his face to bury it in their hair, because he finds the smell comforting.
I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)
Aemond won't say it until he feels it. It will take a while and when he does say it it will likely be whispered after sex.
J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?)
Aemond is extremely jealous. He's grown up never really having anything that's just for him, so when he gets a partner he is likely very possessive and needs reassurance that they are his.
K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)
Awkward to begin with and quite chaste. Once he gets comfortable they'll become more passionate, though it's something he prefers to keep behind closed doors - open mouthed and sloppy, with his hands buried in his partner's hair in the heat of the moment. The rest of the time it's soft kisses to the temple or hairline.
L = Little ones (How are they around children?)
Aemond wants kids, but he's not good around them. He never really got the opportunity to be a child properly himself, so he doesn't really know how to interact. He finds their shrill little voices annoying and their sticky little hands gross. He's one of those "children are to be seen and not heard" types.
M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)
Aemond is an early riser. His partner can expect to be pulled close, kissed on the cheek and then he's gone to get ready to go to the training yard.
N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)
Reading until it's time for bed, then fuccin' nasty lol
O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)
Aemond is a man of mystery, he won't give everything away all at once. It will take a while to get to know him.
P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)
Aemond is easily irritated, but he doesn't have an explosive temper. He'll dwell on things and bring them up during an argument, so they will end up being a bigger deal than they actually are. Is very cutting with his words too.
Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)
Remembers everything his partner tells him about themselves. Probably knows them better than they do, because he's hyper observant.
R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)
The first time his partner tells him they love him. He'll replay that in his head over and over again.
S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)
Aemond is very protective of his partner - will throw hands and insults if he feels they're in danger or have had their honour besmirched. Would be really touched if his partner is defensive of him too, as his whole life he's only had Alicent fighting his corner.
T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)
Aemond goes all out for special occasions. He wants to show his partner how much he cares and he has the means to do so, so they're getting spoiled.
U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)
He picks his nose. With nostrils that size resisting temptation is futile.
V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)
Extremely. You've seen his hair, right?
W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)
Once Aemond has fallen for someone and let them get close he'd feel like the bottom has fallen out of his world if they aren't around anymore.
X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.)
Aemond is voyeuristic, not just in a sexual sense, he just enjoys watching his partner. He's observant, so he likes to look out for quirks and mannerisms to help him know them better.
Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?)
Drunkenness is a big no no for Aemond, as well as being overly crass in public and poorly educated. Stupidity would be a big turn off for him.
Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habits of theirs?)
Aemond is an early riser and late going to bed. He's a light sleeper too. This man does not know what decent rest looks like.

Peach, you're the best! Thank you for posting that amazing pasta art! (And thank you to the lovely artist who made it =)) - Mrs Pasta.
That being said...I have a few things to say. No words of wisdom, just some thoughts. Some people will disagree with my takes but if you're here reading it, read it carefully and really consider what I said before you disregard.
Every time something happens that gets a certain portion of fans excited that "it's coming to an end," it is nearly always (99.9) followed by something that completely disputes that hope and gets everyone angry, upset, and riled up. It's time to pick up on the patterns, guys!
Ramen and Soba attended the GG afterparty for Soba's agency but didn't show up for the red carpet or awards show. It's got some people thinking Ramen fell off on the HW hierarchy food chain but people. Please. Let's be honest with ourselves here. Did they not attend because he couldn't get an invite since he's "so irrelevant" now or did they not attend because them trying to act like they know each other in real time, for the camera, would be a feat harder than climbing Mt. Everest? Why else do y'all think Soba attended the GQ event with Cup of Noodles instead? You know, the one where she actually did pose for photos and walk the red carpet? And flash her loaned jewelry and "wedding ring" but refused to speak to reporters because she had nothing to promote? It's giving "a...weird face wife that will never do an interview" XD
Every time something happens that gives another portion of fans the chance to "gloat," something else happens to throw a wrench into the mix. You don't question why only one "director" got a random picture of soba and ramen in the same bowl but nobody else saw them? And they can only be mentioned in a throwaway line by a Condé Nast publication (Vogue, Vanity Fair, GQ) and neither Ramen nor Soba could spring for a stylist this time? Looks like somebody doesn't want to make that red carpet debut...but why not? Aren't y'all married for the 50th time in a year and also expecting for the 20th time in the past two years?
Lastly. Just because Ramen has had a few pitfalls this past year does not mean that suddenly he's dropped to C-D list and that he's completely irrelevant in the industry now. I understand having critical flops can hurt your career. Of course it can. And in fact, I'm sure these pitfalls have hurt him. But remember that just because someone is doing well now doesn't mean they'll always do well, and just because someone is having a rough few years doesn't mean they'll never get a comeback.
I'd also like to close with a reminder to those gloating on about how RDJ is doing better and Ramen is failing in life...RDJ was once a drug addict and ended up in jail. My parents still mention this about him every time they see him on TV....people do remember when the biggest news of his career was him getting arrested. Also, after Endgame? Does anyone remember Doolittle? 15% on rotten tomatoes had people thinking RDJ fell off. And then covid hit and he was just doing his own thing for a few years. Now look at him. Looks like that awards campaigning worked! Because no disrespect, Robert, but your Oppenheimer performance was lukewarm at best. IMO, You deserved it more for Tropic Thunder and I say that as someone who genuinely admires you.
I hope I didn't ruffle any feathers. It's just tiring to see people ignore certain things for the sake of running with a narrative.
Love ya, Peach!
Mrs. Pasta, thank you for gracing us with your presence twice today. I honestly, have nothing to add to this great observation. I was just talking about a lot of these points earlier with some mutual about a certain even with a super shiny watch 🤭 I honestly never thought about equating Katt’s words about weird faced wife that will never give an interview to this 😵💫 but your’e on to something there!
Looks like someone reached into the depths of their closet to try and scrounge up a look last week, but what do I know?
Mrs. Pasta, I always look forward to your takes and observations.
@inshelliesworld created some cute little Mrs. Pasta art 😊

So I find it interesting that in the last few years of the show we know almost nothing about how Rory processes the break-up with all three boyfriends.
After Dean dumps Rory for the third time because he realizes they have nothing in common anymore, I don't think we hear anything about him from her side other than telling her therapist that the affair was a bad idea (obviously). The last time we see Dean he's angry at Rory for wanting to move on from Stars Hollow and insisting to Luke that Lorelai will do the same for him and we... essentially never hear anything about him in the OS ever again. In AYITL, he's married, has a gazillion kids, seems emotionally stable for a change, and doesn't seem to resent Rory or idealize their relationship as much as she does. They've obviously run into each other from time to time and they're not bitter. What does Rory think about how all of that ended? I guess we'll never know, because ASP bizarrely thinks Dean was perfect. Whatever! Moving on.
Logan is even more of a question mark. Rory doesn't seem to take their breakup particularly hard, even though he blindsided her with a proposal and refused to accept any sort of compromise. Maybe she figured that their breakup was in some way inevitable as they went through this milestone and moved into adulthood? Who the fuck knows, because in AYITL she seems to be a complete commitmentphobe in every sense of the word (not just romantically) and they're having an affair that definitely looks like a relationship at times but invites no self-reflection from either of them. They don't talk about their relationship and both seem to have accepted they'll never have a real one again or move onto anything deeper and....lol, no one knows why? Do they love each other? Do they regret how things turned out? Would Logan be willing to leave his life behind and give it a go? Does Rory want a relationship with anyone, period? Does Rory even care about him as a person, since she seems to know absolutely nothing about his life and I'm not sure she....wants to? (Seriously. Compare how she interacts with Dean and Jess and seems genuinely interested in what's going on with them). I guess we'll never know any of this either.
Jess is a different scenario because Rory meets him again during the OS and we have an entire year and a half in which her demeanor towards him drastically changes. He leaves town and she's hurt, but claims to have moved on: during their two brief interactions in season 4, he avoids her, confesses his love for her on two separate occasions with zero context, and she's still so pissed at him she could spit nails in his direction and wants nothing to do with him...and runs into the arms of married Dean because she sees him as genuine and safe.
When Rory meets Jess in season 6, she's clearly not angry at him anymore: she's nervous, genuinely interested in his life, proud of his accomplishments, wants to spend time with him, gushes about how she always knew he could do something great because he was so smart and had so much potential. He gets into a fight with her boyfriend and her sympathies are absolutely towards him, not Logan.
Obviously it would be weird if she were still angry, but what changed, specifically? Is it because after her dalliance with Dean she's less inclined to judge him for how he hurt her? Did moving on with Logan (I don't think she ever really loved Dean again) help her finally process all that hurt and anger? Did Jess just obliterate all of her hurt feelings with his charm, maturity, and artfully arranged coiffure?
I guess it was a combination of all these things, but this is the first time in a long time that Rory shows him a lot of respect as a *person* as opposed to someone who frustrates her one minute and delights her the next. She doesn't have to spend her time defending him, because he doesn't need to be defended anymore. And not only is he the person to drag her out of that hole she's sinking in, she lets him.
Then we move onto the open house at Truncheon, where Rory....behaves badly, to put it mildly. I don't think she went there with malicious intentions. She was genuinely proud of Jess and wanted to see him and spend time with him. Still, it's got to be one hell of a blow, for her to show up on a night that was important to him, let him believe he still has a chance with her romantically and that she was single, and then to confess that she's still in love with the other guy and he's only a distraction. What stands out to me about that scene is that Jess flat out tells her that he doesn't deserve to be treated like that while Rory is in the middle of apologizing. While I think that romantically the door was closed for the time being after that incident, Jess doesn't appear to resent her or lash out, and Rory knows that SHE'S done wrong, that SHE hurt him, and she's sorry. She might not love him again like he wanted her to, but she cares about him, she respects him as a person, and she doesn't want to see him hurt. I don't think we have seen her have that attitude towards Jess for years and years.
Does she respect Logan as a person at this exact point in time? I would have to say no. She seems to feel zero guilt about running around on Logan, even if she can't bring herself to go further. She flat out says she's in love with him but he deserves to be hurt (ouch). She only grows tender towards him after he nearly dies. She might love him, but this relationship is not exactly bringing out the best in her.
Season 7 is a different story (I definitely think Rory respects that version of Logan) but since this is ASP's story, we have to return to her fatalism and her belief that Logan can never, ever change, because then he won't be able to ruin Rory's life and effectively crush all her hopes and dreams with his super sperm. Meanwhile, she clearly still respects Jess: not only is his advice the only advice she is willing to take, but she's clearly still involved with him on this writing project afterwards and as a member of her extended family. And shouldn't you, in the end, seek a partner you actually respect as a person, as well as love? Shouldn't you actually....like them?

hey acacia pleaaaase tell me more about dess and chara in the dess raises kris au
OH I'D LOVE TOO
this got. long as hell so its under a cut. can you tell ive thought about this so hard. literally more people need to consider this relationship okay IT HAS IT ALL...
so! youre dess. you've just had what asriel is calling 'a mental break' but what is to you descending down into the bunker which is REAL and WRONG and NEEDS TO BE DESTROYED, and its done something to you, and your best friend doesnt understand, and nobody understands, and this thing is going to kill your sister and it is going to use asriel's little sibling to do so. and then one day, weeks later, when asriel still wont believe you and you are slowly losing your mind, he goes out to tour colleges.
and kris is staying at your house. and there is nobody to stop you. and asriel doesnt believe you but if it is his little sibling stuck up in everything, and, and, and...
and then the next thing dess knows she has descended into the bunker with a five year old and come out somewhere else, somewhere FAR AWAY, and. by the time shes back in her right mind shes in way way too deep to ever go back. she CANT go back. besides, what help was asriel? he never believed her! her BEST FRIEND, and he wrote off everything she was scared about!! thought she was making it up, but she WASNT, and she'll PROVE IT, and she'll SAVE THE WORLD, and then they'll see. then they'll all see.
that town, that bunker--it is going to kill her sister. and dess will do everything to keep her sister safe.
even if it means she has to lug a kid around.
so, time passes. dess wanders. kris wanders with her. dark worlds here work sort of like mystery dungeons in the pokemon mystery dungeon series, but a lot fewer people know about them. there ARE, though, forums, and small local places where people meet up and swap stories and try to defeat them, which is where dess needs to be, but she cant do any of that with a five year old. so she takes to leaving kris at hotel-rooms and daycares and doing her best to schema-hunt (this group calls dark worlds 'schemas'), and its when picking up kris one of these times that dess meets chara.
chara has also had xir own run-ins with schemas. its what led to xir having frisk--getting stuck in a schema that was Awful for xir mental health, led to a lot of self-hatred around being a loveless aromantic, and a few dubious situations later xes pregnant and after xir own childhood of never being wanted and realizing that as bad as everything leading up to this has been xe WANTS this kid, xe has frisk. for two years chara struggles as a college dropout and a single parent barely scraping by, still dealing with lingering schema-trauma xe cannot talk to anybody about, and...then xe meets dess.
its not a love story, because both of them are aromantic, and chara doesnt love, anyways. but its two people who have been struggling and alone and scared finding someone else who UNDERSTANDS. its how dess finds someone who believes her when she talks about the schemas, who doesnt write her off. its chara making a friend for maybe the first time in xir entire life. its how theyre both trying to raise kids on their own but its not so hard when theyre together.
the honeymoon stages are REALLY good. its chara who has never been anybody's first priority, but now xe is dess's, and it is probably the closest xe will ever get to understanding why romantic love appeals. its dess who has a place to actually REST, not her and a five year old hopping around hotels, but somewhere she can call home. dess and chara can talk to each other about everything, about anything. about the things they've seen in the dark and the deep. about how scared they are for the kids.
they get an apartment together. they get married. they make up a new last name to share. the kids start going to school. chara officially adopts kris. neither of the kids remember a time without dess and chara both around. things seem like they might actually work out.
but dess is so RESTLESS, see. she has this amazing place, with the people she loves most in the world, but as chara settles down xe starts to put xir time in the schemas behind xir. devotes xirself to being a parent, to going to parent-teacher conferences, sitting through meltdowns and fights and being the parent xe never had in xir life. dess hates how kris clings to her whenever she is around. it makes her itch. like shes being held down.
dess starts spending more time on online forums. staying out later and later. goes out on trips--for a day, two days, a week. meets other people like her, people who dont know how to stay in place, people who need to find and close schemas, who save those trapped in them. she maybe starts to miss chara's calls. she maybe misses kris's birthday. she loves chara more than she loves anybody else, and that includes the kids. she comes home and can barely last a few days before she has to go again.
shes not meant to be pinned down by kids. shes supposed to be OUT THERE, saving the world. she and chara fight, more than they ever used to. she hates it when chara cries but she doesnt know how to make it better. maybe if she keeps running, keeps diving into the dark, she'll figure it out. maybe when she saves the world everything will be okay. then she can rest. then there wont always be this nagging fear at the back of her head, this nagging fear that everything she has is going to come crashing down around her. then all the missed calls will be worth it, all the broken promises made okay.
she's dess. defeater of schemas. and one day she'll make it back to that bunker, and destroy it, and her sister, the sister she hasnt seen in a decade, will be safe. one day she'll call asriel and this time he'll believe her, and forgive her. one day she'll go home and sit down next to chara and this time when she promises to stay, she'll mean it.
just a little longer. then she'll fix everything.
(meanwhile, chara is back at home, waiting for a wife that wont come back. sometimes in the middle of the night frisk creeps into xir bed and asks why dess is never home, why chara doesn't divorce her. chara doesnt know how xe is supposed to tell this child xe very nearly did not have that dess is the only person who chose to love xir because she could. that dess is the only person who was there when chara had nobody else. that sometimes when it is very dark xe thinks back to the schema xe was stuck in, for so very long, and the prophecy xe heard there. how xe saw dess and some part of xir knew, then, that surely, this is who those ancient words spoke of. dess, with her glorious warmth and light.
chara is the one who stayed behind. chara is the one who deals with all the struggles of raising two children-now-teenagers, who watches kris, waiting always for dess to come home; frisk, who doesnt speak of her at all. xe doesnt know if xe's doing the right thing. xe just wants xir kids to be OKAY, and, selfishly, to be loved by someone even if xe can never return the feeling.
one day frisk comes sobbing to chara and spills everything: that kris, who has only ever wanted dess to be proud of them, who knows dess is one who slips into the space between light and dark and comes out again, has dove into a dark world of their own, and has not come back out.
and chara who already knows xe will dive into the dark xirself if that is what it takes to bring kris back safe wonders if maybe xir selfishness is what will get xir children killed.)
#ask#deltarune#drkau#i write#can you believe that technically everything here happens BEFORE the events of drk. this is all the backstory.#like we will for sure get a story that explores all of this BUT THIS IS BACKSTORY. LIKE. THERES SO MUCH MORE.#another fun fact i couldnt work in here but that im literally obsessed w:#frisk and kris both call chara baba/ba (nonbinary parent title of choice)#frisk calls dess 'dess'#and kris calls dess 'mom/my mom' to EVERYBODY. except to dess herself :) to dess they just use 'dess'#ANYWAYS THAT WAS A LOT OOPS

Can I request the dorm leaders(replace Kalim with Jamil) and how they'll be able to approach their crush(the reader) after having an intimate dream about them?
Characters: The dorm leaders + Jamil (Kalim replaced with Jamil)
A/N: MY APOLOGIES, THIS TOOK VERY LONG! Also thank you very much for requesting! Warning: might be OOC.
Riddle Rosehearts
If one were to describe what their dorm leader was looking right now, he was acting odd. Trey and Cater quietly watched as Riddle became a blushing mess as soon as you stepped inside the dorm. It was no secret that their red haired friend had a huge crush on you.
Riddle was acting like a flustered maiden unlike his usual facade. Even the two first-year residents, Ace and Deuce became suspicious of his behavior. Unbeknownst to them, he was acting strange for he could still vividly recall his dream.
In that dream, both of you were having a picnic in gardens of the Heartslabyul dorm, holding hands. Since our boy here grew up sheltered and his life somehow controlled by his mother until Ace punched some sense into him. Like literally.
I'd like to think he is naturally foreign to skinship that is DEFINITELY not an ordinary friendship. So when he saw your dream self lean close to lock your lips against his, he stiffened like a nervous hedgehog.
For the next few days, Riddle wouldn't be able to look straight to your eyes much less talk to you properly. This would last until you got sick of it and confront him without any mercy, making him spill the beans. But you didn't expect to do stupefied by his reason.
And the faucet was turned on, resulting him confessing everything saying you stole his first kiss to which you'll retort that it was dream.
Riddle would definitely turn red as his favorite strawberry tart and cover his face in embarrassment while you ran to hug him due to how cute he was.
Leona Kingscholar
Leona would definitely act like normal but there would be a few changes to how he carries himself around you. And only those who know him well will notice these small changes. Such as the most obvious one, how his tail would go near you.
Entangled legs in the bed, arms around each others frame, listening to their breathing as the sunlight peer inside the room without any care for the occupants.
Despite his arrogant front, he felt it. That dream had really thrown him off at how he looks at you. It made him realize he felt something for you. Something he would not admit so easily.
The smell of dirt, grass, books and tuna. It was pretty obvious to him why you smell tuna, with that monster living with you on that dorm. The smell might be ridiculous. But for him, it was a specific scent that tells him you were there.
Here you two were playing chess in his room. It was hilarious, to him atleast. You, glaring at him before your eyes lay the board.
Leona loved seeing you pissed off. This guy is definitely the type to tease his freaking crush just to get their attention on him.
He'll even squeeze one of your puffy cheeks out of spite while you contemplate your next turn, much to your chagrin.
You'll ask for another rematch which of course started loop with him always end up the winner. Until you finally got this next round and began to do your weird celebratory dance without any care, giving him derpy faces as you rub it in his face that you won.
He had to admit you really were brave to do this in his face, a royalty at that.
Azul Ashengrotto
It will be quite an awkward encounter for Azul. In fact, he will try not to run into you in the hallway. It was bound to happen considering the twins will not let him live with any chance they get.
The reason? Apparently, he dreamt that you and him are under the sea, getting married in his real form whilst you had a (f/c) tail – a gorgeous one at that – he had to admit.
It most certainly didn't help that the twins heard him mumble when he fell asleep signing the paperworks in the office.
Jade love to run his mouth with Floyd not even helping one bit. The other twin will suddenly point at somewhere calling your name.
And by the Sevens, the two are having so much fun seeing how Azul reacted. It was like they found a new toy for their entertainment for this week.
So when you decided to appear in the shop unannounced the next day, poor Azul choked on his own spit, resulting him coughing upon the sight of you. Cue to you panicking as you checking if he was alright.
He prayed to whatever is out there to please kill him now and escape this misery.
Jamil Viper
Jamil is unfazed on the outside but a total mess on the inside. This guy is good at hiding his emotions. He'll most likely to break his composure if you ever get into a certain position or accidentally held hands.
In his dream, both of you were in the kitchen cooking his favorite food wearing a cute apron. He was behind you, holding your hands to guide you on cutting the vegetables and meat. If it was in someone's perspective, they might think you two are a loving couple bonding over cooking.
Jamil will always look out for you secretly as he is satisfied on just seeing you smile instead of crying. Just the thought of it made his heart ache a bit.
Sure he had a few crushes even back then but they will just eventually vanish. But this one with you was definitely different. He began to get to know you more whenever Grim and yourself visit the Scarabia Dorm from time to time thanks to Kalim.
Ever since growing close to you, he couldn't help but be worried at how you are too much of a goody-two shoes like Kalim. Trusting people too easily, looking for the goodness inside each one of them.
Not to mention, always to get into any sorts of trouble. He'll be blunt that he sometimes had some urges to ask who dropped you as a baby.
Vil Schoenheit
Ah, the imp itself has come. Vil knew that endearing annoying voice calling him all too well. Also the person who decided to visit him last night in his dreams. There you are, running towards him with a huge grin in your not-so-adorable face.
Vil would pretend to be fine when inside he was not. This was the first time someone has shaken his heart to the core.
It started as a simple dream where you were applying his makeup as he teaches you how to do it. To his horror, his dream self wrapped his arms around your waist pulling you close to him. It was just a small innocent peck on the lips yet it almost set him off.
Normally if Rook would sing his praises for him, he'll remain unaffected. But it was another case to you, throwing an innocent compliment to him out of nowhere with such an adorable face. He couldn't help but get caught off guard.
He decided to teach you more on makeup and skincare, since you always look haggard. even though you're not, excuses
You – unfortunately – interpreted his words quite different thinking he wanted you to be his assistant.
Vil at this point could only let out a sigh, wondering why he came to like a dense person like you.
It was certainly a wonder to see the confident worldwide model to act shy around his crush.
Idia Shroud
I can imagine him hiding in his room, trying his best to avoid you but his brother said otherwise as he end up telling you the new password that was setup.
If you ever touch him out of nowhere, the older Shroud would flinch like a cat and scream. In fact, instead of him approaching you, it will be yourself who'll do it.
He could vividly recall how both of you were snuggling covered with a comforter as you played his favorite game. He was sitting behind you, supporting his chin atop of your (head/shoulder) his arms wrapped around your waist holding a controller.
At this point, Idia would suddenly bang his head against any surfaces and burst into mumbling to himself any time or place throughout the day with his hair full blown pink.
The cycle will continue on for a few days. Until many encouragements from Ortho and the advices he got from his game friend, he gathered up all his courage to talk to you.
Idia would act like some sort of a tsundere, stuttering as he speak to you as he play with his now pink flaming hair.
Malleus Draconia
I can see this fae will still approach you as always. Though his way of approaching was not really normal since he will just appear out of nowhere and disappear into fireflies.
After that dream, he'll definitely become more talkative towards you as he discuss his interests and his kingdom. No doubt his dormmates will notice his refreshing aura.
Not to mention he'll spend his time with you longer than before. If an opportunity arises, he'll invite you on visiting the Diasomnia dorm and also visit the Valley of Thorns with him as the tour guide once the holidays arrived.
If his loyal subjects were to hear of this, I can probably see the look of disbelief and horror in their faces as their lord will tour a human around the Valley of Thorns.
Crushes was foreign for him. Malleus would usually consult Lilia about human matters. At first, he was confused at these emotions you give him. Yet that dream made him felt something.
Deep into the woods near his kingdom, he watched as you danced as if it was your last. Not caring if there was someone other than him caught you in this state. The grass tickling your bare foot. In this dream, you wore a simple yet regal clothes that emphasized your charm. As he watch in daze, you sent him the smile you always show him.
He was not sure if that was merely a dream or a possible foresight of the future. But one thing for sure, you'll be part of his life for a long time.

Ayo! How are you doing?
I absolutely love the fics you write!!! 🤌😘
Can you write me one? About Gwen? 🫣
Something like reader is a nurse and they meet after Gwen gets hurt while filming. Reader takes care of her, Gwen asks her on a date. And like after a few years Gwen asks reader to marry her?
Thank you 😊
Pairing: Gwendoline Christie x Reader
Word Count: 965
A/N: Ayooo I'm doing good thank you! I'm sorry this took a while hun, but have a happy holiday! I hope you like it :)
After becoming a CNA, the last thing you would've thought you'd be doing would be patching up actors. You've done it for a while and the pay has been pretty good. It was mostly stunt-doubles you patched up but on the rare occasion actors did their own stunts, you helped them instead. The bright side to working in the film industry was that you didn't have to deal with grumpy old people who were frustrated about their waiting time.
You originally started working on sets when your director friend needed some medical assistance on his set. His actors and stunt-doubles kept getting hurt and the best the crew could do was act like a school nurse; slap on a bandaid and send them in their way. He wanted someone who knew what they were doing and that's where you came into play. Since then, you've been asked by his company to oversee all action and thriller projects.
Never knowing who you'd be working with until they came into your trailer (yes, you had your own trailer as a CNA), you were caught off guard when one of your favorite actresses walked in.
Gwendoline Christie.
Today's schedule was for Game of Thrones and although you knew Gwen played Brienne of Tarth, you didn't know she did her own stunts. As a 6'3" woman, you assumed that that would be gruesome work.
"Hi, are you Nurse L/n?"
"I am! Please, take a seat," Gwen did as told and you rolled your chair around your desk to sit in front of her, "How can I help you today?"
"Well, there was a mishap in the props section," you nodded as you listened, looking over the actress, "and they stupidly gave my co-star a sword with a sharpened blade instead of the fake ones."
You nodded in understanding. Looking over the older woman, it wasn't hard to distinguish the real cut from the fake ones. You put on your glasses and sterilized your hands before putting on gloves, "So it's just that one cut by your hairline?"
"Well that and I think I have some bruised ribs, I don't know if you can do much about that…"
You grabbed some gauze and an alcoholic wipe before standing up. You realized that Gwen was too tall for you to work on while sitting so you stood between her legs and went to work.
"Well the best I can do for those is give you a cold press every 20 minutes and some pain killers. They won't heal for about 4 weeks to be honest but hopefully they'll take that into consideration when they put you in armor."
Gwen winced and flinched away from the alcohol wipe which in turn made you roll your eyes, "Oh come on, I just have to make sure it's clean." You held her head still, petting her hair back from the wound.
"You know, I never had a nurse man handle me before," you scoffed playfully, "I've also never had a nurse who was this cute."
After taping the gauze down onto the cut, you took a step back and looked down at Gwen with a raised brow, "I'm sure you tell all your nurses that."
You went to step away but a hand on around your wrist stopped you, "I'm serious L/n…maybe we could get a coffee sometime?"
Oh how could refuse such a face.
— — — — — — — —
The relationship you two had was amazing. You started making time for each other off of set and your love for each other bloomed.
You continued working on set during the filming of Game of Thrones and it was wonderful seeing Gwen in action. She could be so goofy one second then professional and serious the next.
And you were right, watching Gwen perform her own stunts was a bit rough to watch, seeing a bigger than average woman get thrown around and down to the ground wasn't very pleasing to you.
You also got to follow her and work with her on sets from time to time. When you weren't on a different project, you were working beside Gwendoline and you wouldn't have it any other way. You followed her when she booked Top of The Lake, The Hunger Games, and Star Wars.
It was when she booked Wednesday that you didn't think you'd be able to go with her. To your surprise, Tim allowed you to come, so long as you helped everyone maintain COVID protocols on set.
It was on a particular day that you were called to set from your trailer, Gwen had a nasty fall and couldn't make it to your trailer. The poor woman over exerted herself, you thought.
When you arrived, the crew and casemates were surrounding her and so you couldn't see her. Was it that bad? You were told she accidentally swallowed some of the fake acid from her scene and that she wouldn't stop coughing and gagging.
"Gwen! Is she okay?"
As you walked closer, the team huddle around your girlfriend parted and in the middle knelt your girlfriend, well, your girlfriend in Larissa Weems regalia.
"Gwendoline…I–"
"Y/n L/n, from the moment I laid eyes on you I knew it in my heart and mind that I needed you in my life. You make me feel things no other human being can make feel, you help me to become a better version of myself and push me to give everything my all."
You had started to tear up and you weren't the only one. Gwen started to have tears roll down her cheeks. You couldn't bear to see her cry so you took a step forward and held her hand.
"Will you do me the greatest honor, and marry me?"
Again, how could you refuse?

Neon Genesis Evangelion 09
Okay, okay! I'll tell you all about it. You might want to sit down first. This will take a few minutes...
Last time, Asuka arrived in Japan to serve as the latest Eva pilot. She's already the most popular girl in school, and for some reason Suzuharu and Big Rigg Mahoney have started taking photos of her and selling them to her admirers. Well, the reason is money, obviously. That, and just being little shits.
Asuka seems to revel in the attention, but only because she feels entitled to it. She finds the other pilot, Rei, and introduces herself. Rei isn't particularly impressed.
Asuka wants to be friends, and Rei asks why, then says she'll do it if ordered by their superiors at NERV. Cold.
Oh, hey, remember Kaji? That asshole from the previous episode? The one who ditched the others and delivered that mysterious package to Gendo Ikari? Well, he's staying at the base for some reason. He seems to want to re-start his romance with Misato, but that doesn't stop him from just groping Ritsuko like they've been married for a year. Fuck Kaji, is what I'm trying to say.
Moving on, the real story of this episode is another Angel attack. This is the seventh one overall, and the fifth we've seen since the series started. Like the fifth Angel, this one is headed straight for the NERV base, but they're still reeling from that battle, so they can't afford to let it get that close. Instead, Misato deploys Units 01 and 02 to the shoreline, where they'll intercept the Angel as it makes landfall. If they can double-team the thing, they should be able to overwhelm it before it gets a chance to do anything.
That's the plan, anyway, but Asuka has her own plan, since she wants to make a big debut in Unit 02. She jumps into the surf and cuts the angel in half. Good job, except...
It splits into two monsters and continues attacking. Whoops!
We skip ahead to some time after the battle, but the photos tell the story. NERV was completely humiliated, because they had to call the UN for support. The UN dropped an "N2 mine" on the Angel to halt its advance. This is the same weapon used on the Third Angel from Episode 1. I should note that it didn't work at all in Episode 1, so I don't understand why it helps now. Each new Angel seems to be more powerful than the last, and this one defeated two Evas, which is unprecedented.
The UN's attack managed to burn off 28% of its mass, which temporarily incapacitated it, but it's only a matter of time before it regenerates and picks up where it left off. Okay, I guess that's fair, since the Third Angel needed to regenerate after getting N2'ed, but it didn't take very long. This one needs about a week.
Being, you know, literal children, Asuka and Shinji fail to learn anything from this debacle. Asuka defied orders and went into business for herself, but Shinji just stood there and watched like a dope. Maybe if he had taken some initiative and supported her play, they might have been able to make something work, but he always does as he's told. And this is a problem, because the two of them will have to fight the Angel all over again when it recovers, so they need to be on the same page.
I don't know why Kaji's even in this briefing. He observes that the UN strike bought them time to regroup, and "you can't ask for more than that," which is the stupidest thing anyone says in this conference, which includes bickering from literal children. Yes, Kaji, we can ask for more than this. The whole point of this meeting is to ask the Eva pilots to get their shit together and win the battle in a single engagement.
Another entry in my Kaji Sucks file: I hate this shot of him talking to Asuka. I hate that stupid look on his stupid face, I hate how Asuka has a crush on his useless ass. I hate his clip-on tie, which might be an animation error but it looks stupid either way. In this moment I'm rooting for the Angel to destroy the NERV base just to ensure he dies along with everyone else.
Kaji does have a suggestion to get the kids ready for the rematch, but he can't just say it in the meeting, he has to write it down on a computer file and give it to Ritsuko to give it to Misato, because fuck this guy.
Later, Shinji comes home to Misato's apartment and finds Asuka has moved in. She claims that she's taking Shinji's place, although she'd rather live with Kaji. I'm sure he'd love that too. Kaji is the worst.
Asuka gripes about how small the place is and wonders why all the doors in Japan have no locks, and then Misato shows up to explain that the Japanese way is to "consider the priorities and needs of others before one's own." Right, no other culture ever thought of that before Japan came along, Misato. And what does that have to do with the doors not having locks? If that made any sense, then why does the front door have a lock?
So what is the point of all this? Well, Misato explains that this was Kaji's idea: Shinji and Asuka will spend the next six days living together and doing everything in unison, in order to practice synchronizing their attacks when they face the Angel in six days. They both hate this idea, but there's no time for anything else.
This does not go well, mostly because Asuka is too proud to go along with it. This exercise with the Twister/DDR game is a failure, so Misato asks Rei to give it a try and she syncs up perfectly with Shinji's movements. So why not just have Rei and Shinji tag up for the battle? I mean, they worked well together a while back? It's a proven formula. Rei's Eva doesn't have weapons, but I'm pretty sure they can reconfigure 02 for Rei quickly enough.
So it's the Fusion Reborn plot, but with Asuka in the Vegeta role. She can either fight alongside Shinji, or she can ride the pine. This makes her upset, and her dumb friend tells Shinji to go talk to her because "he made her cry", but by the time he catches up with her she's already worked this out. She'll do the training.
And there's a training montage, and they succeed! I don't quite understand how this tranlates to Eva piloting, but at least they can stand to work together, which has to be an improvement.
Maybe it works a little too well. They sleep in separate rooms, of course, but one night Asuka gets up to use the toilet, then plops down in the wrong futon. There's a tense moment where Shinji's worried that his cassette player will wake her up, but it doesn't. She just lays there and murmurs the word "mama". He almost kisses her, but then he thinks better of it and sleeps on the floor.
Lips in anime are the worst. They always draw these characters with teeny-tiny mouths, which isn't a huge problem until they try to do a scene like this, where Shinji stares at a closeup of Asuka's lips, which look ridiculous because it's so badly misproportioned. He's trying to move in closer to kiss her except their heads are so weird that the pose ends up looking awkward.
I guess it doesn't matter, since he bails out at the last second, bitterly muttering that Asuka is "just a child". I'm not sure how to interpret that, but whatever.
Speaking of awkward kissing, Kaji makes out with Misato in the elevator. When they get to her floor, she steps out and tells him this is a mistake, and he replies with some bullshit about her words saying "no", but her lips saying "yes". Fuck this guy.
Later, she confides in Ritsuko that their relationship, which ended eight years ago, was "the biggest blemish" on her life. I'm curious to see why that would be, but that probably won't get paid off for a while.
Anyway, the big fight happens, and Shinji and Asuka execute the plan perfectly. This time they let the Angel come to them, but they cut their power cables and fight with the one minute of battery life they have. They cut the thing in half like before, then whale on the two halves before finally doing this double divekick move to destroy the Angel's core to end the battle.
The resulting explosion does leave the Evas in an undignified pose, but a win is a win.
This dude is embarrassed, but I didn't see him do a damn thing the whole time. He doesn't even have a name. I mean, they put his bio in the DVD extra features, but why should I care what they call him if they never say his name in the show? He usually just stands behind Gendo and tries to look important. Well fuck him. I'm calling him Clownshoes from now on.
And that's it. I guess this episode was good enough, but I'm not sure about the dynamic Asuka adds to the cast. She's at least active, which is more than I can say for Rei or Shinji, but a lot of time is spent just getting Asuka to do simple teamwork like "cooperating" or "facing reality". Even the NERV staff are getting frustrated about having to work with children, even though the Evangelion program seems to depend upon it for some reason.
In the end, that's just what the show is about, so I can't complain that it nails the depiction of putting children behind the wheel of a super-weapon. It's either a power fantasy or a nightmare, depending on your point of view, and this show tackles that pretty damn well.

mcstrome and bogosort (like the compsci algorithm lol)
ok i read the wiki article for this and also several memes about it and i'm still not sure i understand it, because i am a humanities girlie whose brain makes dial-up noises when anything too math-y or science-y is introduced into my enclosure. so i'm sorry if i misunderstood the concept but i am going on vibes alone here. this would be a multiverse fic. a fic about connor mcdavid experiencing the multiverse.
so, at the start of this story, maybe connor and dylan aren't totally estranged, but they're not close like they used to be either. they've drifted apart. they text for, like, birthdays and major life events. connor's not sure whose fault that is, and it makes him kind of sad to think about, but honestly, he doesn't think about it too much. they just have their own lives now. connor is very busy trying to drag edmonton kicking and screaming into something resembling a success story; dylan has finally found a team that appreciates him in washington; they are living their lives, separately.
the oilers come to dc for their annual visit. connor and dylan don't get dinner — they stopped doing that a long time ago. sometimes, they'll chat in the hallway after a game, but sometimes the most they do is bump each other on the ice in that way that means hello, i'm aware that you're here. this feels like it's going to be one of those nights, where it's just the bump, the acknowledgement. it's whatever. not important. the oilers need the win. they've been having a rough roadtrip. they go up two early, then cough up three in a row in the second, and in the third, connor takes a big hit while he's crashing the net and whacks his head hard on the crossbar of the goal. everything explodes, and then everything goes black.
and then he wakes up. not on the ice, not in the hospital, not anywhere he recognizes — he's not in his own life. maybe this first one is the universe where buffalo won the mcdavid sweepstakes in 2015, and he's in a condo overlooking lake erie. maybe there's a recent picture of him and dylan on the refrigerator, which is weird, because they haven't taken a photo together in years. i am physically restraining myself from figuring out all of the universe-hopping stuff, but long story short, this keeps happening. every time he falls asleep, he wakes up in a new universe. sometimes he's an oiler, sometimes he's not. he's almost always a hockey player, but sometimes he's not. once, pretty early on, he wakes up to a familiar voice while someone shakes him gently awake on a couch.
"come on, davo, you know sleeping out here always gives you a crick in your neck," dylan is saying. connor, half-asleep, lets himself be tugged to a bedroom, arranged into being a little spoon. as he's drifting off, he wonders if he was on the couch because they fought, wonders what they could have fought about, wants desperately to know what lives they're living here in this world, but he's too far gone, and he wakes up alone in another new universe feeling so dumbstruck with sadness that he rolls over and goes back to sleep without even figuring out where or what he is.
most of the worlds are just a few steps away from his own reality, but some of them are weird and wild. dystopian worlds, worlds with incredible technological advancements, a world where he can see ghosts, a world where he can read minds. a world where he has dylan inked on the inside of his wrist, and he thinks it's a tattoo until he sees that everyone has a name on their wrist like that. he looks everywhere, convinced that because the name is there, dylan must be nearby, but he can't find him anywhere.
he doesn't know if any of this is real, if it even matters what he does in all of these worlds, and he doesn't know if he'll ever get back to his original reality, or if one day he'll wake up in a world and just be stuck there, so he does his best in each one, trying not to fuck things up. sometimes he's married to a woman. he never knows how to act in those universes. sometimes, he wakes up with guys who are clearly one-night stands. a couple of times, he has a boyfriend who's a secret. once, he has a boyfriend who's not. he doesn't know how to act with them, either. he doesn't know them.
then he wakes up with dylan again. or, he wakes up with with lips on his neck and a hand sliding into his pajama pants, a good morning murmured in his ear. they never did this in real life. or — in that life, connor's first life, the one that's starting to feel frighteningly far away. but connor doesn't think about that in this moment, because they never did this in real life, even when he wanted it, when he was a teenager with the most painful crush in the world and there were a moments when he thought it might be possible. they have slow, lazy sex. dylan touches him like every inch of him is familiar. afterward, when they're laying together all sated and pleased, connor thinks to himself, don't fall asleep don't fall asleep don't fall asleep, but he must doze off for even half a second, because he opens his eyes in a hotel room in atlanta. he's in a universe where the thrashers still exist.
and on it goes. worlds upon worlds, universes upon universes. it gets lonely; it gets boring. connor wants to go home. he wants to wake up with dylan again. if he woke up with dylan again, he wouldn't mind one more universe, but he's just about had it with the rest of them. he misses his real teammates, misses his stupid text thread with his brother, wants to call his mom. he starts waking up and, if it's not his real life and dylan's not there, he just goes back to sleep. if he can't fall back asleep — fuck every well-rested version of himself, seriously — he bullshits his way through until he can figure out where to buy some melatonin or whatever.
maybe he's dying. or maybe he's dead, and this is hell. or purgatory. he doesn't think his family believes in purgatory, but that doesn't mean it's not real.
the barrier between worlds starts getting thinner. now, if he just closes his eyes for too long, he's gone. new universe. he starts to be able to — hear isn't quite the right word, but it's the best one he has for the sensation, so — hear the next universe coming, if he closes his eyes and concentrates. it makes it easy. a new kind of tedium. flipping through worlds with barely a glance, because all he wants is—
he wakes up with dylan again. or, precisely, he wakes up to a giant, fluffy golden retriever licking his face, and dylan in the background, calling out with laughter and resignation, "buddy, no, let him sleep!"
too late, connor thinks. "too late," he says out loud. it's been dozens of universes since he spoke out loud.
"i swear he can sense the moment you start even thinking of waking up," dylan says. "come on, if you're up anyway, i'm making breakfast."
connor is wearing a ring on his left ring finger. his stomach growls. he goes to the kitchen, and dylan serves him eggs on a plate held be a hand with a matching ring on the left ring finger.
"please tell me you made coffee," he says, and of course dylan did. connor downs as much of it as he can stomach. he is not falling asleep today.
they're still hockey players. they're in — raleigh, connor figures out through context clues. it's their day off. they're supposed to go grocery shopping. they do go grocery shopping. they hold hands while grocery shopping. it feels like a dream. it's perfect. after they put the groceries again, dylan looks at him askance and asks, "is there something on my face? you keep staring at me today."
"uh," connor says. "i don't know, maybe i'm in love with you or something."
dylan rolls his eyes, but also beams, and crowds connor against the kitchen counter to kiss him. they kiss for a long time before they move to the bedroom. having sex again, connor wonders if it's real that dylan's body feels familiar. he's so careful to not close his eyes for more than a blink. he wouldn't be able to handle it if this got ripped away from him, too. there's still a lot of day left when they're done, and it's lazy and lovely and perfect. when they go to bed that night, connor lays awake for as long as he can, watching dylan sleep. at around three in the morning, he wakes dylan up just so he can kiss him a little bit more. dylan complains about the waking up, but not the kissing, and falls back asleep quickly once connor lets him. connor makes it to sunrise before he can't keep his eyes open anymore. he tries, he tries so hard, but he hears the next universe whooshing in, cold, a bloom of pain in his head—
he's on his back on the ice at capital one arena. everything is too bright, and he makes out the feeling of the hand squeezing his before he can actually see anything. "hey, connor, don't move, we're bringing out a board," someone is saying. connor shuts his eyes, hard. he doesn't go anywhere. another squeeze, too tight.
"davo," dylan says.
connor blinks him into focus. their eyes meet, and dylan exhales something like a relieved laugh.
"hey," he says, his hand warm around connor's. "there you are."

https://www.tumblr.com/murder-cookie-dust393/721889413598150656/screaming-i-just-got-big-big-idea-ok-listen?source=share
Please do a expand on this...I want to learn about the babying because it sounds adorable and the poly sounds cute...I adore em too!
Also I like your yandere cookie posts! They have interesting ideas!
Ooh sure-
Tw: mentions of murder + threatening, overly obsessive affections
I'll start with platonic:
Wow- we have a young married couple Mint Choco and Cocoa- and they're both obsessing over the same cookie. Now some of this can depend on MC's age- but for the sake of simplicity, we'll say they're younger.
Now, with MC being younger, it could only even be a few years and the two will baby them. Cocoa loves drinking hot chocolate, right? Well, if MC is ever cold, she's literally pulling out something to keep them warm (a fucking blanket even) and handing them a mug of hot chocolate. She'll coo over them and pat their head, treating them like a child.
Mint Choco will be less expressive about it- if MC is ever feeling sad or unhappy he's either whipping out that violin and playing something or he's there to listen and give advice. He tends to invite them to anything he's playing at- literally anything. Now, whatever hobby MC does, Mint Choco is a full-on support machine. Any photos or products made from that hobby are hung up on the fridge 100%.
But here's the thing- if MC is like a child or just younger than teenage age, the two will make themselves MC's parents. At first, it's some subtle things- like buying anything MC wanted or needed But then, it becomes more extreme. For example, if MC's real parent or parental figure makes them the slightest bit unhappy, Cocoa and Mint Choco will ask if they wish to stay over for a few days. So they can murder the parents and take MC as their own child.
Istg Cocoa will try to get MC to call her mother in some way or form-
Now let's move on to romantic headcanons:
So here's how I think they'll develop feelings; basically, one of the two finds MC kinda pretty and rambles their thoughts to the other- so that in the end they're both hooked.
They'll coordinate "plans" together of getting MC to like them back- for example, Cooca could invite you to a little tea party (hot choco party?) and Mint Choco is playing his violin as entertainment. Oh look, why is the mug of hot chocolate handed to you have marshmallows arranged in a heart?
If by any chance MC is already in a relationship, Mint Choco will try to distract them with his music while Cocoa goes to murder or at the very least threaten their partner so that MC is left alone (she has a big ass mug for a reason).
They're very lovey-dovey with MC, constantly complimenting them and sending constant reminders that the two of them have feelings for MC.
In secret, when MC is not around or the two are just alone, they like to share each other's thoughts and observations of them. Constantly gushing over them like some crazy fans.
(Well- this is what I got for now-)

@forgivenpunishment
She'd been right. Down to the exact last detail, all that hard work of stakeouts and following trails, sometimes just going forward based on rumours even if it'd not been enough—it all paid off.
Three times the location had been changed to host this soirée—some sort of benefit for all the big names of the big towns where the mayors and the sheriffs got together, wore their Sunday best, and patted each other on the back for a job well done and another year gone by without too much trouble.
She'd convinced one of the planners to slip her a copy of the attendance list, apparently for all their talk of keeping the peace and everything more or less maintained by their applied status quo, there was still an inkling of fear about certain gangs making an unwelcome appearance.
Hence why the location had been changed three times.
There had not been time to go over the entire list, despite wanting to; Meryl knew that more than half of these people were dirty in some way or the other; trafficking of people, firearms and drugs were just the tip of the iceberg, though that was already bad enough.
No, for Meryl, she was looking through the list for one name in particular.
Bernardelli.
There were supposed to be more in attendance, but those who couldn't make it were unable to do so or were tied up with something else. Regardless, she knew that if tonight went well enough, she'd continue to pick them off, one by one.
This Bernardelli was high up and Meryl considered this a golden opportunity to start with a bang.
It'd send a message, of course, but she also didn't want them to be on too high alert if she was just getting started. So far, her mark had not been able to hit whenever she targeted them. Somehow, something always got in the way, yet she never could figure out what it was. Tonight, however, left her with a good feeling that this would be a success.
She hands the copy of the list to Wolfwood, pointing to the names of the couple they'll be posing as tonight. Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Not the most imaginative names, but plain and...unsuspecting. As far as she knows, only a few have actually seen them and they seem to be added to this party because of their connections, so she's counting on not running into those who know the real Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
"We run a general store that's become very lucrative over the past few years and we're the backbone of our town."
She's throwing herself into this because it means keeping her mind occupied. It means she doesn't dwell on things that will often wake her up, screaming in the middle of the night.
It means she doesn't dwell too long, or too much, on JuLai.
"We've been married for seven years, and still going strong. Zip."
She turns, her back facing him, as she waits for her dress to be zipped up.
"And we've never been happier." Her voice trembles on this last part. It takes effort to say it, even more so to believe it, even if this is all pretend. A façade for her own means to get back at those who started her on this path.

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Part 3 of Waku Puyo Extras. (And a fairly big announcement for translations.)
Ah, I'm running out of images, the Waku Puyo images, so the tride and true "Post Manga panels I do understand," got me covered. If I don't got anyone on my side, I know the Waku Puyo Manga does. Amen.
(Context for this page and a few others is Satan having a nightmare about Schezo and Arle marrying, and wakes up in a cold sweat. It's so goofy, and seems exactly like a Satan Nightmare, but the art goes hard.)
Heya, Gren here, and welcome to Part 3 of Waku Puyo Extras, the series where I find random videos about a route and go off from there because, even though I'm in the English Puyo Puyo Community Discord and have been lurking in the lore channel for like 3 years, I'm not verified yet because I'm scared to speak to the Ciel Bot. So if a mod or something SOMEHOW sees this...what're the odds for one, and two, idk we can talk via DM's or somethin' about lore.
(I really do want to speak there someday. Seems fun, I'll probably quietly add some details for this game onto specific characters pages.)
That aside, I'm here today to provide the community with more text and stuff to read.
Today's post will cover the following scraps I found while looking for stuff:
A video where Serilly appears again. Once again, Schezo and Serilly speak to each other, small but interesting.
A video that has a Rulue encounter and...that's about it. I'm really looking for scraps. Today doesn't have a whole lot.
Talk about the Manga for a bit. I plan to do this for most of the Extra Episodes, since it seems fun to do. Gonna specifically talk about Schezo and Serilly because...you know with everything going on, I think it's a nice start.
However, the scraps will become actual meals sooner or later because of two simple reasons. The first is that there's a whole video I'll translate that...has ALL 3 CHARACTERS...trading with Witch, starting next week, and that'll be Waku Puyo Extras Episode 4.
Yeah this girl really won't leave alone, its been like half a year of this stuff. Oh, what I do to translate. Oh and the video has Succubus too IG
Witch still is my 3rd favorite character though for the lunacy I've dealt with from her. Joking aside:
The REAL announcement:
About 2 weeks from now, I'll be trying my best to translate Arle's Route for this silly game.
That's right, I'm gonna do another Route that totally didn't take me 6 months to finish the main storyline. Waku Puyo Extras will still be real, trust me, but they'll be like filler episodes like in Dragon Ball, bits I release if the current video I'm translating is taking too long and/or if I just randomly feel like it. I will still also be doing minor Schezo Route stuff as well, and still take requests for all routes, so as usual, if you got a goofy screenshot to send me, DM me.
Big announcement away, it's time for the videos themselves, starting with:
Serilly Stuff:
youtube
...I did say I'm scraping for stuff. These things are so miniscule in the grand scheme that you could probably come to these posts just for the comedy act I try to put up.
The episode posted has been fully translated already, being Episode 3, for the record. Imma just translate the Serilly stuff.
But with that;
Timestamps: (...They're at the start of the video, but there's 2 different occasions, so...rip?)
Serilly 1: (0:05)
Serilly 2 (0:32)
...I wish I were kidding, it's that little. Lmao
With that out of the way, this marks the Readmore section of the post. Thanks for reading if you're not interested, and let's continue if you're enjoying this.
Serilly 1: (0:05)
Schezo:
This is such clean water, I can cleanse my heart there...
...Wait! What's a Dark Mage doing getting cleansed!?
Woman's Voice:
What're you doing here huffing by yourself?
Schezo:
Hm? I remember this voice from Water Paradise...
Serilly:
It's me, Serilly.
Schezo:
Oh, what're you doing here?
Serilly:
When I'm here, it feels like my mind and body are at ease.
Schezo:
...Yeah, seems like it.
Serilly:
I know, right?
(...And so, Schezo talked to Serilly for a bit.)
Schezo:
...I better get going.
Serilly;
Okay, but...come back soon!
Schezo:
Yeah, if I ever feel like it.
-----
Serilly 2:
Serilly:
Oh! Mr. Schezo!
Schezo:
Hey.
Serilly:
You're really here again!
Schezo:
(W-Why am I blushing!?)
Serilly:
???
(Schezo had a small chat with Serilly.)
Schezo:
...I'd better get going.
Serilly:
Okay, but...come back soon!
Schezo:
Yeah, if I feel like it.
-----
Yeah, so some speech repeats itself at the end, but hey, Schezo seems to enjoy her company, a rarity nowadays. I'll go deeper when the manga portion comes up but so far, that's what you're getting.
And now, The Rulue Stuff:
youtube
This goofy video here is actually Episode 6 of the translations I've done here. I just missed a single talk coming from Schezo and Rulue. (Not even Minotauros. Guy is just nothing now.)
I'm not gonna timestamp this one because it's a SINGLE interaction at the start. I promise I'll make this up somehow.
So, with that...here's the interaction.
-----
Rulue Interaction: (Start of the video)
Rulue:
Oh, you haven't given up your chase, have you?
Schezo:
Mind your own business. In fact, you should be the one to give up!
Rulue:
No more from you. That magical item will be mine.
Oh-ho-ho-ho, good luck on your wasted endeavors. (She says efforts here but...why not make her sound more sophisticated?)
Schezo:
That magic item will be useless for a meathead like you.
Yes, for the sake of the treasure, I cannot lose!
-----
And...that's all for the translations. Not much, but I'll compensate with the manga.
For those who are unaware, Waku Puyo has a manga that wildly differs from the story of the game. Lot of characters got redesigns, most notably Witch, Incubus and Honey Bee have a MUCH bigger role, Lagnus is real, and tags along with Arle, (I'll talk about that next Extras Episode.) and even some new faces.
Since the 10 image limit is goofy, I'm gonna limit myself to specific things about the Manga. Plan is:
Talk about Schezo and Serilly because there seems to be a lot with them going on in Waku Puyo as a whole. I'll also mention Honey Bee too.
Lagnus tagging along with Arle, along with a couple of goofy pages I found.
Maybe Rulue's side of stuff...? This one I'm iffy on right now so currently it's in the air.
Since I'm unfortunately incredibly committed to my work, I decided to translate the Serilly section of Volume 2 and 3 of the Waku Puyo Manga. (For the most part...)
Here's how it goes.
It actually starts with Serilly hearing noises from the lower floors and becomes nervous at that fact, hoping her only friend, Satan, will come to help her. Schezo and Honey Bee (his ally who has the hots for him,) find her and realize that during the fight with Suketoudara, he said that she isn't exactly a fighter, and they should try to reason with her.
Due to the 10 image limit, I'm skipping a good amount of pages and really showing off highlights. However, I'll explain the thing entirely. Here is the Google Drive with the Manga, courteously given by Puyo Preservation.
Schezo then tries to chase her, scaring her, and he grabs her arm, which leads to this page.
Honey Bee is pissed at the fact that they're holding hands and all that, meanwhile Schezo and Serilly are about as shocked. Serilly begins to actually sob, asking them to not bully her, while Schezo asks to give him the orb, and if she does, she won't get hurt. However, he's swinging his sword, which causes Serilly to get more nervous, leading to Schezo giving Bee his sword to not scare her off.
Surprisingly...it works. Serilly isn't as afraid as she was before, and Schezo asks if she know where the orb is, to which Serilly stutters a bit. For no reason, Honey Bee tries to threaten her, leading to Schezo hitting Bee away.
Serilly says they can't have the orb because her "friend," Satan, told her to guard it. Schezo gets mad at that, saying that a friend should be there for you, not be barking orders, and Bee herself adds onto that, saying that if he was her friend, why did he lock her in a room?
Unfortunately, Serilly says that she doesn't mind being locked here forever, as if she leaves, Satan will hate her, and she'll lose her only friend. She explains that she's never had a friend and was bullied all her life, so she doesn't want to risk it.
Finally, Schezo has enough and says that she Satan isn't her friend, and that he manipulated her, leading to a similar case of what happening during the game...Schezo giving therapy.
Honey Bee insults Serilly AGAIN for her actions, and Serilly sobs while saying she's sorry for everything, leaving Schezo speechless after smaking Bee away. (Unfortunately, 10 image limit. Won't be seen.)
However, the 3rd picture below is when Schezo tells her to stop crying and that he'll...be her friend, if only she gives up her unhappiness, which she agrees to.
The events are similar to the Game, even the part where Schezo thinks that he feels like he's preaching, and doesn't care if she's happy or not.
As Honey Bee basically insults her more, Suketoudara appears absolutely livid at what Schezo is doing to Serilly, and...basically tries to drown him. However, Serilly doesn't want to lose her new friend, so she rescues him, leaving Bee and Suketoudara shocked, even though Schezo had to save her too.
Leading to this.
This beautiful artwork.
Schezo knocks out Suke for a bit, and he and Serilly look at each other, before looking away, blushing, leading Bee to get upset with both of them, saying they probably flirted in the water.
Even though Bee is pissed at how Schezo is carrying Serilly, they're both ok, but Schezo sustained a injury to his forehead, which leads to Bee comically trying to wrap band-aids around him.
Suke wakes up, saying that was the first time he ever saw Serilly help someone like that, which even she's shocked by. Bee though, says that it's natural to help someone you care for. Serilly goes up to Schezo, and gives him the key to the orbs. After that, Schezo tells Suke to bring Serilly away from the place, which angers him, but agrees to, before Schezo and Bee walk away.
However, Serilly yells at them to stop, before asking Schezo if he'll meet with her again.
Shown below is Schezo saying yes, if he ever feels like it, much to Bee's chargin, before they set for the door...which has Incubus in it.
While it's just a section, it's a really, REALLY good section, and I feel like a writer/developer really wanted Schezo/Serilly to be real so they went all out here. And props to them, they did it well, and made some cool scenes.
With that...I believe this it the end. See you all next week.
Hope you enjoyed the show.

Thiiiiiiiis...thank you both! 😂
I always brushed off the "no ships are real!" types (they usually mean no gay ships) and the delulu Taekookers meme, but after these last few months I'm just laughing at them because I see how little it takes for people to interpret an interaction as romantic/sexual. They'll believe Taekook are dating everyone but each other. And the het ships? They don't even need to see real interactions.
Taekook falling in love makes all the sense in the world, and I've had the same thoughts as you about it. I was at my last job for 8 years, and I saw so many coworkers date/get serious/get married in that time. Why not Taekook after all this time working together, living together for a lot of it. Choosing to spend a lot of their time together when the group went its separate ways. Even non-shippers have felt the queer vibes there lately, so if that's true...why not Taekook.
For me, it was what I came to logically. I observed so much, the real moments, the behavior patterns and it was the most obvious conclusion. It just adds up. I can't think any other way and I've tried, but I'd have to lie to myself about the things that I know. Especially this last year, I'm more convinced than ever.
I have no interest in arguing with Taennope shippers, but I do think it's funny they got one grainy video of them holding hands and that was enough. Because I've got a lot more examples of Taekook holding hands. Every other bit of questionable "proof" they think they have, the matching (not actually matching) jewelry/clothing, the "leaked" photos that are badly edited or hide/obscure faces, the close friend and/or social media connections, there are dozens if not more genuine examples of the exact same thing for Taekook. So I'm very curious how that video is proof of anything. Is it just because it's a man and a woman? What if they were just friends? Why wouldn't anyone consider that possibility and instead jump right to "they're dating" based on one awkward looking video? I think it's just a business arrangement, but I've pondered this.
Hi anon!
Heteronormativity is still always the standard. It's so hard to break through that saddly enough. Aside from that, there's also the dream of so many female fans to be able to get with one of the members themselves, them being gay or in a relationship is just incovient to them.

Hi Haruka. I don't know if you've read this or not, but there is an official Pokemon novel that came out a long time ago that explains a few things about the universe. Namely, that Ash is a legal adult at age 10. I re-found an English translation recently and wanted to share it. But it says that kids become legal adults at age 10 in the Pokemon universe. So they could get married as early as 10 if they wanted (Tumblr doesn't let me have links in Asks).
Hello there!
I'm sure that you must be talking about Takeshi Shudo's novel for the original Pokémon series, is that it?
Because I've read before a few translated excerpts from other source. So yes, I was already aware of these pieces of information! And it's an obligatory read for every fan of the Ash Ketchum saga of the Pokémon animé because there's a lot of information about Delia and the Ketchum family background that's untold on the screens. My Soul(mate)s of Light takes consideration to a lot of material present in here.
My only question is how many information is still canon to the show because everyone that followed the series from the beginning to the end, or has at least watched the original series and any of the newer arcs of Ash's story, will notice how some visuals and guidelines have changed to adapt to the new standards of the franchise and how each animé arc is also a product of its timeline. Perhaps the "legal adults at 10" is still canon but I wished the show would make it more clear if it's still the case. Because what the characters do at their 10 on-screen seem to be our in-real-life equivalent to 13/14 year old teenagers. At least on my place it's the age where you start to be given some freedom to go out on your own (preferentially with groups of friends) to visit places. Of course, this varies depending on everyone's culture and family atmosphere. As for the "Can get married at 10 if they wanted" factor, again I'm not sure if this still remains canon as it was never addressed on screen and in my AU, the 10-year old Ash and Goh have a more naive approach to life and love, concepts that they'll figure out that they're much more complex than what they originally thought as they grow up towards adulthood and once they turn into fully formed adults their thoughts in these subjects are ultimately much more matured. Besides chasing a dream, their childhoods are a journey of self-discovery! That's why they only get married at 19 and 18, respectively. They're ready for that step after everything they've experienced in between those eight years since their first meeting.
