Alex Dunphy x half deaf! reader - accidental confesses
Deaf in the left ear.
You and Alex weren't very close, you were close with Haley. Haley invited you to have a family dinner. I had a bad habit of accidently staring at people for too long. That was happening with Alex I kept staring at her. "So YN what do you do for fun?" Claire asked. "I'm actually in college, Caltech" i said putting my hand over my mouth "Oh, really you know Alex there she also goes to Caltech...also i have noticed that your loud" Claire said cutting her food and looking at me then Alex. "Mom leave him alone he's deaf in one of his ears" I decided to quickly change the subject "I've seen you around before were on the same floor" I said smiling and looking at Alex she smiled back.
She smiled back and I started to stare at her. After the dinner Haley and her parents had to go to their grandparents for a bit they are bringing me later so Alex offered to look after me at the house while we were waiting. "Why do you stare so much?" She asked fixing her glasses. "Sorry have a habit for staring" I said loudly "I never said I had a problem with it." She said walking over and sitting on the couch "Your smart for someone who is friends with Haley" Alex stated. "We met at a party and she thought i was cute. Literally probably only one of the reasons she wants to be friends with me" I laughed. She nodded smiling. We then heard the door open and joined them in the car to their grandparents.
When we got there i was introduced to Gloria, Jay, Joe and Stella. Haley had long wondered off, i felt awkward so i sat on the couch while everyone else was outside. i messed around with my hands looking down at them. I heard footsteps and moved to look like i was having some such of fun "Why aren't with Haley?" I looked up and saw Alex sitting on the other couch. "She looked like she was having fun and i didn't want to drag her down." I smiled awkwardly "Well i'm bored so wanna head back to Caltech?" She smiled i nodded and stood up. "I'm going to tell Claire quickly" She ran off slightly and ran back "I didn't let her speak, lets go before she starts talking" She grabbed her bag opened the door and left with me following behind, she ubered for us and we got back to the dormrooms "Wanna head to mines i don't have a roommate" I said she nodded and started walking to my dormroom and opening it showing gaming stuff and random pieces of paper and the Tv in front of the bed. "Sorry it's so messy" I started to pick up notes and doodlings "Is that a drawing of me and Haley?" I turned around and looked at the drawing "Oh yeah i drew that a while ago. I'll throw it away-" She quickly moved it when i tried to grab it "No, i like it" She said "Wanna sit and watch a movie?" I said fixing my bed She nodded and we decided to sit and watch little women.
"Alex said she was going to her dorm why isnt she answering" Claire said still knocking "She left with YN she might be with them" Clarie stopped knocking "Which one does he stay in" Haley started walking and looked at the light next to my dorm door and unlocked the door. She walked in on the bright screen and us basically cuddling in the bed. She grabbed a pillow that had fallen of the bed and threw it at us. i woke up Alex still fast asleep "Ow Haley!" I said whisper shouting "Oh hey, mr and mrs Dunphy" I waved "What were you two doing" Haley said giving me and Alex a look "What? No we weren't doing what you think. We just sat and watched little women" They gave me a look i felt arms wrapped around my waist "Come back to sleep" she dragged me back down and kissed my cheek lazily

after drawing the sparkly bider-man i wanted to make one for my AU... purely self-indulgent...
I doubt Peter would really take the time and expense to make a special pride suit he would only wear once or twice unless Johnny convinced him or smth so it's mostly hypothetical but still fun —
I was looking through my timeline trying to figure out when would make the most sense for this (which also included: has Johnny outed himself yet) and I ended up deciding 2014 makes the most sense because well, in 2012 he will be locked in a basement during June, and in 2013 he would be busy with Electro and finishing grad school, but 2014 is like... right after he and Flash get married so I can easily imagine Johnny being like "cmoooon let's dress up together, you just got gay-married" etc. and, well, peter does like to dress up... (otherwise he wouldn't be in spandex all the time 😂)
normally I avoid metallic or shiny spandex like the plague for suit designs cause I think it looks cheap but I made an exception for this 😂 it probably IS cheap...
closeups:
Tumblr media
posing for pictures... johnny's idea, naturally. in my timeline i think johnny outs himself in like 2011 or so after a very messy divorce (from lyja) but I'm not spending too much time on the F4 stuff in this aside from just having a general idea so if they appear in a fic I know what's going on 😅 anyway by 2014 johnny is def way more comfortable with being publicly gay, since the cat's long out of the bag, though he's still got a lot of issues... but he's good at pretending to be okay :)
Tumblr media
but also he still has a crush on peter 😂 tfw you have the hots for your superhero friend who just got married
peter actually already knows how johnny feels about him by the time he gets married, i just thought the dialogue was funny
Tumblr media
I thought it would be fun if the lens frames were sparkly... normally I have his frames out of vulcanized black rubber (like car tire rubber) (...like might actually be carved from old tires) just cause I prefer the matte and slightly soft look compared to plastic... I figure something like sparkly firm silicone or sparkly plastic is probably pretty achievable for Peter to make. And the lenses would just be his normal bulletproof lenses but with an iridescent film on the outside to make them a little rainbowy...
and I think in 2014 irl holographic glitter spandex was like... something that existed that you could buy lol so i figure he can very carefully sew a holographic spider on.... so the spiders are like, that silvery white rainbow glitter kind of look
no webbing because there's a limit to how much labor and time peter would be willing to put into a flashy, kind of useless costume that he wouldn't be able to/want to wear very often... (and i wasn't a fan of how it looked)
Tumblr media
bisexual fingers. there's a dirty joke in there somewhere.
Tumblr media
it's difficult to come up with body-covering outfits that are suitable for summer weather as-is but the fact that he's wearing polyester spandex underneath really adds a layer of "i'm going to get heatstroke and die" to this outfit. lots of linen though. at least the armpits are athletic mesh.
also yeah the spidey shirt is a leotard with a snap crotch so. he's really just hoping that doesn't unroll under his clothes cause it would absolutely hang down very visibly from under his shirt if it were to fall. (maybe he can use his electrostatic sticking powers to just. hold it in place...)
he also can't roll down the waistband of his tights because it's more rigid than the rest of his costume on account of that's where he keeps all his spare web cartridges and it would suck if they all fell out LOL
hm i just noticed i accidentally gave peter a purple happy trail oops just pretend that's black
anyway
that's AU bider-man
oh
Tumblr media
i also drew this which is much more corny/embarrassing but i thought it was a cute idea — by necessity has to be after flash is public and transitioning etc… so 2016 at the earliest but i drew this more like 2017 or 2018, after she's been on hrt and stuff and is probably more confident
i don't think there's a worry of accidentally spotlighting her/outing her because, well, she probably doesn't pass in a lot of people's eyes… broad shoulders, sideburns, etc. but… peter thinks she's pretty ❤️
i was gonna draw more of the gang but then the list kept expanding like, oh should i include X, what about Y? and it was. too many people. so then i just decided to only draw flash and peter 😂
they should have stickers on their shirts though... like a polyamory sticker... or pins...

Feeling not that great lately so I took a bit of time to fill in this ship meme made by @/gibbarts for Vail x Lei! I have their ship name as Vailei (which is just me smushing their names together) but my friend has brought up Leil which is tempting just because it's fun to say... I think we'll stick with Vailei for now XD
I used some headcanons for this because NGL Vail doesn't have enough screentime in the canon campaign so I had to just fill in some blanks XD This is why he is also my OC now cuz I've made so many headcanons to fill in the blanks that he's prob a diff OC than the KP imagined XD
I realize their faces are kinda babey in this. That is because I did this in like 1 hr so it's very messy sorry. I still had a lot of fun filling this out and thinking about them <3 my OTP 🥺🥺🥺
OC lore under the cut (as per usual of course)
More explanations about how I picked this even though you didn't ask 😎
Big spoon Vail / Little spoon Lei. They could def swap though but this is their usual formation if they're spooning. Little spooning is def by Lei's request but she'll big spoon him if she wants him to feel extra comfy!
Lends clothes (Vail)/ Borrows clothes (Lei) - This is self explanatory. I already drew Lei in Vail's hoodie. She really likes to "borrow" his clothes, as in, she'll wear them until they don't smell like him anymore and then return them to him XD. I do have this funny quote thing so I headcanon he steals her fuzzy socks. I'll draw that one day :3 But I also think it would be hard for him to borrow her clothes even if they're similar heights because he has a SIZ of 65 (muscle mass) and she has a SIZ of 50 which means she's probably built like a stick XD
Pet names - Vail seems like the type of person who calls people by their name/ what they want to be called. So he would prob call Lei "Lei" which is something she even requests at the end of the campaign! (Before he called her "Doc"). Lei is definitely into pet names though! In the cyberpunk universe she probably calls him "my love" 🥺
Introversion/Extroversion - this one was kinda hard NGL. Lei is def more introverted but she isn't suuuper "Ew people" cuz she is a doctor and forced to interact with people. Because Vail likes to talk/ramble, I put him as slightly more extroverted but he didn't have enough screentime so XD I couldn't confirm this theory. He didn't seem that open to talking with Liam in the campaign but it could have been due to lack of time who knows 😔 By comparison Vail is prob more extroverted than Lei at least.
Affection through words (LEi) / Affection through actions (Vail) - Lei is both LMAO cuz her love language is physical touch. But she also expresses affection through her words! This is especially true because if she doesn't like you she won't even bother talking to you. But if she likes you, she'll say sweet things to you/compliment you AND if she really really likes you she'll be physically affectionate! Vail is def an actions person XD I mean we're talking about the guy who bought her a cat for her birthday. I think sometimes she can feel a bit sadge if he doesn't verbally validate her/ have words of affirmation for her but they work with it 🥺
Confesses first (Lei) / Waits for confession (Vail) - THIS ONE IS CANON LMAOOO. Although the first time they hung out it was him who initiated, she has to make him ask her for dinner XD and then when she said it was date he was like ayo alright XD
Bugs - I feel like they're both capable of bug squashing so I put them around the same level... now I feel like if we want to dig into catboy vail his should be reallyyy far into it but I'm not changing it for now XD maybe in an updated one sometime down the line
Drives car (Vail) / can't drive (Lei) - this is also canon XD Vail drives around bikes so he has to be a decent driver, although I didn't see DRIVE in his invested skills according to the stats the dm gave me so like 🤔🤔 Lei has the base DRIVE of like 20? So I mean she can drive. But it's not great XD I would say she's just not very confident, esp in the slums where people speed a lot. She prob felt safer in the Middle district.
can't cook (Vail) / makes dinner (Lei) - Vail prob never had a chance to learn how to cook and he says "food in the slums generally sucks" XD But Lei is a good cook. I mean she cooks drugs so she has to be good at cooking food too (COPE). I just want her to be a good cook so therefore she is.
PDA - Lei likes PDA! She wants everyone to know who her man belongs to, but I think she'd be more like into handholding and clinging to him. The other stuff she prefers to do in private :3 Although she's def up to giving him cheek kisses here and there. Vail probably doesn't particularly mind, if it makes Lei happy :)
Overprotective / Chillgoing - THIS WAS HARD. Lei is def on the overprotective side, especially when it comes to her loved ones, she gets very desperate. But I mean I would imagine Vail would be protective if she were in danger. But overall he's supposed to be a chill dude so I imagine she's just chill. Like oh you're going to Prism HQ and killing some jerks? I'll come with <- maybe something like this LOL
Relationship experience - It is canon Vail has no relationship exp (like me frfr) but Lei's had 2 relationships in the past, so she has more exp than him.
(WARNING: NSFW IMPLIED) HORNY METER: I feel like they're quite similar in levels of horniness. I think mostly Lei has to initiate because Vail is shy uwu about those types of things. But once he's in the mood and the switch has been flipped... pray for Lei LOL. He will let her have control as much as she wants but if she wants him to dom... it's over for her XD a Runner and their stamina y'know... In my headcanons, he is secretly quite horny just never had the chance to express it. He is a young man after all 😔 But he has really good self control :) His willpower is 70. Lei was not supposed to be super thirsty but she is played by me so.... y'know... some stuff happened XD
AWKWARDNESS METER: Lei isn't super super awkward but there are definitely situations where she has no idea what to do, especially to circumstances that are new to her. For example, needing to learn how to do a runner's job XD that was hard for her. In highschool she was def much more awkward but she's grown out of her shell a little. In terms of this relationship, I imagine she gets awkward because she doesn't quite believe she's in a relationship with him XD (she'd be like "really? Are you sure you want me?" and he's like "yeah we had this convo last week") Vail is pretty chill so I think he's barely awkward. I imagine he's only awkward as he's new to this whole relationship business :)
JEALOUSY METER: Vail is not supposed to get jealous so hence why there's like nothing there for him. I would say he either 1) feels secure in his relationships + trusts Lei and 2) Would want the best for her so if she finds someone that makes her happier than him, he would easily let her go. Lei though... is much more insecure than he is. It's something that I would develop for her if she lives XD in the future, because she is slowly gaining confidence in herself! :) She is a capable woman, she simply needs to realize that. But yeah she's the type to get jealous, if she sees him with women who are prettier and younger than her. But she is lucky because he doesn't

continuing HAND & EYE - visual diary entries!
to help with creating a narrative for our publications/zines, as a course we were encouraged to hold a visual diary for a few weeks.
the *aim* of the visual diary was to capture everyday scenes or ideas in a pretty relaxed way; there wasn't any emphasis on anything looking neat or even coherent, so ofc i ran with that yfm🤣
Tumblr media Tumblr media
these first two entries were two very ordinary sights for me at LCC; one being a super messy collage-ish sketch(?) of the table i was sat at, surrounded by my friends and their stuff. the other sketch was meant to be a first person view of the steps i was sat on (in the tower block) after staying back on campus. i wanted this sketch to be more realistic and focused but erm... yeah.
(the visual diaries themselves were part of a drawing kit we were given by the course for this project - containing an a4 sketchbook, a crayon, a stick of chalk, and a stick of charcoal. my chalk was yellow and my crayon was green!😁)
Tumblr media
this next spread was my attempt at drawing a pair of BeReal photos that me and some buddies (hi star toni and julia🤗) took at a restaurant together - i don't know how but one of these a drew really well, and the other i totally messed up! must have been the change in perspective idk...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the pizza is what me and my buddies ate at the resturaunt!! so i thought it would be fitting to draw my next restaurant experience next to them - burgers at TGIF's for my 19th (super low maintenance. i'll try and be more excited for my 20th... not my fault my birthday is in between deadlines.... its hard to be happy during that time🛌🏾)
because it was my birthday, i was on the move w my family so i drew my sketches on post-it notes and stuck them into my visual diary later. my favorite out of these sketches is the one in the bottom left corner, which is a very loose sketch of the inside of my mums car from my perspective.
Tumblr media
an actual spread to celebrate mine and my sisters birthdays (10 years and 8 days apart ???
below (1) was a super rough spread of the trains that pass by my back garden - i started focusing on trains a little bit after this!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
the page in the middle was inspired by the song Day In Day Out by the band XTC, which i felt kind of resonated with the repetitive nature of getting the tube every day.
THIS SPREAD ON THE RIGHT ... was kind of a stream on consciousness ibsr. it was meant to be a sort of build on my ideas around trains and public transport, hence the priority symbols but its kind of devolved into me thinking about people who sit with their legs spread on public transport... annoying. and then thinking about eye catching trousers with logos on the crotch... not annoying. i love design like that, actually - its kinda... 🤭
along with getting input from friends for what i could add to it (including giving the little guy in bed a boner... cos like. do it for the bit ig💀) i just had a lot of fun with this one.
and below are some more chill drawings:
the first page - doodles on post - it notes again
the second page - a very normal view on my bedroom window and the outside, the colours are way off but that's fine; i really like this one lol.
the third page - the view of the main IVM class room YEAHHHH (but like. with no people... i drew this during a class)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
there's another entry but i'm saving that for! another post !!

Hey Anon! Thanks for the asks!
1.) Describe your comfort zone—a typical you-fic.
Oh boy, here we go! Much angst. Complicated, messy characters & dynamics. Very intense people being very passionately (toxically) in love. Someone is a virgin. Ruthless highlighting of imperfections. Overly poetic eye descriptors. A recipe for pure self-indulgence!
8.) Share a snippet from one of your favorite dialogue scenes you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it.
Oh no. Dialogue is the worst!! Probably my proudest moments are the dirtiest or the harshest, no in between. Though I will say a lot of my proudest writing moments period were from Contempt. Dialogue included!
"A great love story, is it not? The gold digging whore and the cock hungry slut live happily ever after."
"What do you know about happiness? What do you know about love?"
"You presume --"
"You were obsessed with my mother! You're bitter she married my dad, just like you're bitter I'm marrying Ginny."
This is just a piece of it, but that whole back and forth between Harry and Snape is so fun. I tried to keep them both in character, neither really backing down. It begins with Snape lashing out, Harry tries to get his bearings, Snape twisting every new topic back around to wound Harry with it, Harry not putting up with any of it. It has the angst! It has the rudeness! It has my boys butting heads! What more could a gal want?
19.) Stephen King once said that his muse is a man who lives in the basement. Do you have a muse?
I do! She is a fickle creature. I've named her Renata. (Listen, my car has a name. My phone has a name. My laptop has a name. Why wouldn't my muse have a name?)
28.) Share three of your favorite fic writers and why you like them so much.
Oh yay my favorite one!! Let me see. I was talking to ripeteeth last week about beautiful prose, and how I like to pluck random lines and tuck them in my pocket to think about all day long; and how I love the taste of the words in my mouth, repeating them over and over. I'm such a sucker for beautiful strings of words, so my favorite writers are those whose works I read and I walk away with pockets full of gold nuggets.
@perverse-idyll, whose works I've loved the longest! I've returned to her works time and again for over a decade! She writes Snarry so perfectly in my eyes; crafts the characters so true to form, and their dynamic is just as dark and explosive as I love it. Everything that drew me to Harry and to Snape and to them as a couple, PI provides. I could cry at the perfection of it. And I've honestly not been able to stop thinking about the latest chapter of The Afterlight since I read it! I don't have words enough to express my love of PI's work, so I'm just gonna wave her own words in your face in the hopes that you might understand:
Sitting absolutely still, consulting instincts or morals or who the fuck knows, Snape levelled a long, narrow look across the table. Long and narrow like so much else about him, with the smoulder of a low flame just beginning to lick at spilled fuel. It could have been contempt or calculation, or the effects of drinking whisky that literally burned.
It could be that Harry had just lit a match. (The Afterlight, chapter 3)
@ripeteeth who is probably most definitely a genius. I will blind rec teeth to you. "Oh teeth posted a new fic I've not read and know nothing about? You should totally read it."; "Oh, teeth posted a fic for a fandom I've never even heard of? Cool. Count me in." They have such a fascinating way of looking at things, and they craft stories in such a unique way. It's brilliant and different and absolutely stunning. They portray people and life in that merciless way I love; like they dug through the gutter; like they're elbows deep, digging into the gut; mud and blood and smearing it on the wall. All of the things no one else would think to see worth or beauty in, and they create a masterpiece with it. Blow me away, teeth!
“Why would I stay, Potter?” Why would he? Harry wonders. Snape had clearly always hated teaching, had hated children, hated their open faces, their sticky fingers. If there is no one to run from, if there are no arms to run to, then what purpose does he have to stay? Except. Except that it guts Harry, just a little bit, to think about Hogwarts without the sallow, miserable Potions Master. Somehow, and he is not quite sure how, it is not Hogwarts without Snape. The prospect of the castle left without the great black bat seems full of echoes and silence. It is like the loneliness of aging, sick with memory, glutted on regret. You can’t leave. (Strange Pilgrims)
@liladiurne whose work has the timeless quality of the classics. So much thought and care goes into everything that she does! She has so many interesting ideas; new ways to paint the world, new ways of looking at the characters. She is an explorer and an inventor both! And she tells of love so beautifully; sweet agony dressed in silk and pearls.
And so, it was clear to me, from the moment I felt his hand upon my back, that this touch was meaningful. Harry was not one for unnecessary or superfluous contact. He touched things because he wanted to, because he was unafraid of them and wanted to know their secrets. He touched what he deemed important. (Certain Dark Things, Chapter 2)

My creative activity of choice was sketching. Last year, I quit using acrylic paints to paint on canvas because I couldn't find the time. However, sketching could prove an exciting new challenge and a fun alternative. So I drew two drawings, one of a woman and the other of a vehicle.
It was difficult for me to start with the car. I worked solely on the car's shape for around 2.5 hours. Although I felt irritated that it took me a while, I was ultimately happy with the layout. I then spent two more hours to shade the car's center. Sadly, I'm dissatisfied with how I added a shadow from beneath in the final stage. I think leaving the artwork exactly as it was would be nicer. Regardless, I'm content with the outcome because it meets my desired expectations. One challenge in sketching was the pencil stains on my hand that frequently rubbed against the canvas.
In the second drawing, a woman is sitting. I initially considered still life, but I wanted to try my hand at sketching people, which was something that overwhelmed me. I was astonished to find that drawing came quite naturally to me. The face got me a mere thirty minutes to complete, and I had no trouble with the remaining parts of the physique and skirt, which took a further 1.5 hours to draw. I was delighted that this drawing did not need a messy hand.
My motivation to consistently push myself creatively made sketching vital to me. It appears to be even more enjoyable than applying paint, probably because of the lack of dirt and a lot of work. I frequently had to get things messy while painting, but that is not the case with sketching.
In conclusion, it was a pleasant and unexpected event for me. I'm pleased that I gained a fresh skill and now I can practice it almost everywhere.

『Wings of Desire 』〜When life stumbles, there's an angel by your side〜
Tumblr media
Beginning beginning
This is the story of angels and humans and the storytellers of the world.
What I want you to feel from this work is
"Even if your life is full of worries, if you remember the pure feelings of your childhood, it will be very beautiful."
"Even if you become an adult who is busy with life, if you regain that thrill of childhood, you will feel fun and happy."
Let me give you a brief introduction to European cinema.
American films have a coherent storyline that unfolds naturally, but European films do not.
That's why I want you to feel free to do what you want.
You are the hero, not the character.
Try to apply it to yourself in the actions and words of the characters, and see it with the feeling that you have that kind of feeling.
Let's get into the story.
Angel sings a poem
At the beginning of the film, an angel's wonderful poem is played.
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
Angel:
"When I was a child, I wanted my arms to dangle, so that streams could become rivers, rivers could become rivers, and puddles could become the sea."
"When a child was a child, I didn't know I was a child, and thought that everything had a soul and that there was only one soul."
"When children were children, they didn't think about anything, had no habits, sat cross-legged, jumped up and down, had big whorls on their small heads, and looked ignorant when I pointed the camera at them."
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
What was your favorite childhood fantasy?
I loved how when I held my eyes down with both hands, the cosmic blackness and the starry light that spread across my retinas.
I felt a world of infinity and my own, as if time had stopped.
At the same time, I was scared in the dark and I didn't want to be alone.
I also heard a slow flowing sound.
Children are sensitive to these sensations.
I'm sure you have too.
Back to the work.
What is an angel's job?
The stage is the city of Berlin, two angels are watching over the city.
Looking down on the city of Berlin from the shoulders of the goddess with the eyes of a gentle angel.
Since the angels are from another world, the scenery is black and white.
But it's not a cold monochrome with clear light and dark, it's a gentle greenish color.
Angels understand the hearts of humans.
They gently put their hand on the shoulder of such a troubled person and whisper a little to heal them.
That's what they do.
If you suddenly became happy, an angel might have whispered to you.
People worry, fear, regret
While doing so, the girl notices the angel's gentle gaze and stops at the intersection.
Adults who coldly bump into the girl who stopped, the crowd.
Children can see angels.
It's like the world of Peter Pan or Little Prince.
Adults, on the other hand, cannot see angels.
Children and adults are drawn in contrast.
Tired adults falling asleep on the plane.
The girl who noticed the angel winks with sparkling eyes.
Another girl tells the angel in detail that she drew a picture of a beautiful house.
Children can talk as much as they like and what they are into.
The order in the mind is completely different between children and adults.
Children are engrossed in surprises and fun, but adults are preoccupied with anxieties and plans.
A little bit from here, a scene that understands people's anguish and heart comes out.
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
The jumbled advertising letters in the city.
When a man returns to his parents' house, he sees the same messy room as before and laments his mother who can't throw things away.
The man who lost his love.
An elderly couple is stunned by their grandchildren's obsession with rock music. Moreover, they are asked to buy a musical instrument.
A woman who is worried about money "How should I pay this month?"
The ambulance's loud siren.
The flow of cars on a crowded viaduct.
A couple who fights while driving.
Fathers who are fed up with the noise of the child in the back seat.
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
And symmetrically the pure scene of the child comes out.
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー A walking-impaired girl wearing a walker, looking at an angel with a smile.
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
A soft poem is sung on it.
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
Narration:
"When kids were kids, it was always strange.
"Why am I me and not you?
"Why am I here? and why am I not there? "
"When did time begin? "
"Where is the end of the universe?"
"What I see, hear, and smell are illusions of the world before this one?"
"Is there really evil? Is it true that there are bad people?"
"What was it like? Before I was me."
"What am I going to be after I am no longer me?"
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
When we were kids, there was so much we didn't know.
But it was fun to dream about it.
In the ambulance, a woman is in great pain during childbirth.
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
Woman:
"I breathe on my belly for my baby."
"It hurts, but it's coming soon."
"It's okay, I'm looking forward to it."
"what does the baby look like?"
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
When an angel, Damiel, gently touches her body, her pain is eased and she is
relieved.
What are angels thinking?
Two angels are talking in the car.
Damiel and Cassiel.
The content is very interesting, reporting spiritual events and beautiful sights.
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
Sunrise, sunset, moonrise time, river water level.
Things that happened today in the past. (Soviet fighter plane crash in lake, Olympics, hot air balloon flight)
A person yelling "now!" before hitting his head against a wall and dying.
When the subway conductor said “in front of the zoo”, he mispronounced “fire island”.
When an old man was reading the Odyssey, the child who was near him did not blink.
A woman folded an umbrella in the rain and walked soaking wet.
Elementary school students impressed their teachers by explaining the growth of ferns.
A blind woman spotted Damiel and looked for a watch.
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
There is hope for such an angel Damiel.
He wants to be human.
He wants to become human and use his five senses to feel the world.
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
Damiel:
"I'd rather feel my weight than drift in eternity."
"The weight that binds me to the ground."
"With every step, with every blow of the wind, makes me want to say it's now, not forever ago or forever."
"I'd like to join Trump and be greeted with a nod because we'll always be illusions."
“Wrestling with someone in the middle of the night is an illusion, catching a fish is an illusion, sitting at a table drinking is an illusion, eating is an illusion.”
"Outside the tent in the wilderness, where the lamb was roasted and the wine was poured, that is also an illusion."
"I wouldn't go so far as to say I'm going to have kids and plant trees, but that would be nice."
"After a long day, I'd go home and feed my cats like Philip Marlow."
"Hold body temperature and get your hands dirty with newspapers."
“Not only am I in spirit, but I also eat, admire my wife's nape, and touch her ears.”
"Tell a blatant lie."
"I can feel my bones moving when I walk."
"Because I'm not omniscient, I can taste premonitions."
"Say 'ah' or 'oh', not amen."
"I'm sure it feels good. I take off my shoes and stretch my toes and feel the bare feet."
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
Of course, we can do this because we are human.
He says he wants to feel this kind of feeling that we've grown accustomed to before we know it.
Marion Appears
Now, another main character, a human female, appears.
I'm a swinger at a circus named Marion.
Damiel falls in love with this woman.
According to film evangelist Nagaharu Yodogawa,
Angels falling in love with aerial acrobats seems to be a common theme.
Is it because angels feel a sense of intimacy when they see humans flying?
He thought, "This girl is beautiful!"
Damiel stares at Marion's trapeze practice.
Here, it becomes a wonderful, very beautiful color image.
This work expresses the feelings of the characters very well with such color usage and camera work.
It's like an angel's heart turned into a human.
This woman named Marion also has a problem.
The circus troupe is in recession and the number of customers is low, so it will be disbanded.
Next is the last show.
Depression, life, loneliness, and self worth Marion struggles.
Damiel snuggles up to such Marion.
Then the elephant does a handstand, and Marion smiles a little.
Still, Damiel suffers from not being able to heal Marion, who is still anxious.
Damiel touches Marion's shoulder as she takes off her costume.
At that moment, it becomes a beautiful color image again.
Touching human skin.
This is the scene where Damiel's affection for Marion appears.
Damiel and other angels' work of salvation continues.
A man dies in a car accident.
Dying man mourns his past life and weeps.
Damiel tries to reassure men by reminding them of the beautiful, the pleasant, and the lovable.
He shows his angelic realism here.

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
How many comforting scenes can you recall?
The more you have, the richer your life will be.
For those who want to see such a beautiful and mysterious scene on video,
I would like you to watch "Mirror" and "Nostalgia" directed by Andrei Tarkovsky.
Thoughts on Germany
The director of this film, Wim Wenders, is German.
This work is filled with his feelings for his home country.
There are various scenes during and after World War II in the work.
War dead, heaps of rubble, bewildered citizens, lingering antisemitism, a flickering Nazi swastika.
Anger against the German people.
Anger at their chosen isolation, paranoia, xenophobia and selfishness.
This is a very angry picture.
It seems that you are fulfilling the responsibility that you have to say as a filmmaker.
Clearly NO to my home country in wartime! is slamming.
The last circus theater, blow away the sadness
Well, the last circus performance begins.
Children who can't wait for the performance.
A circus troupe will appear while playing noisily in a grand march there.
Children in the audience are delighted.
It reminds me of the images directed by Italian film director Federico Fellini.
I'm sure it's an homage to his work.
Children applaud their chasing, knife-playing, ball-riding and acrobatics.
When a lot of balloons appear in the finale, children jump out of the audience at once and go to split.
When did humans become adults?
Here, Poetry from an adult's point of view flows.
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
Narration:
"When I was a kid, I didn't like spinach, beans, and rice. Now I eat cauliflower without hesitation. I eat more and more."
"When a child was a child, I woke up once in another house. Now it's always.
Many people used to look beautiful. It's lucky if it looks like that now.
Once upon a time, I could clearly see heaven. Right now I just have a vague premonition.”
"In the past, I didn't think about emptiness,
now I'm frightened by emptiness."
"When kids were kids, they had a passion for play. Now that passion is only when they're busy with their own work."
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
What is 『emptiness』?
It appears several times in the lines in the work.
As you grow older, the "void" swells more and more.
Is it the death waiting in the future, the smallness of existence, the lack of self-esteem, and the inability to understand others?
The stage changes, and Damiel and Cassiel talk about the changes in history so far.
It started with the sea, became rivers, plants, nature, animals, and finally humans.
There were smiles and words, but at the same time there were conflicts, wars and cities.
Damiel laments that they have nothing to do.
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
Damiel:
"We were few, not even bystanders!"
"I have my own history!”
”From now on, I will make use of the wisdom that I have gained while observing in the heavens."
"Enough with the outside. Enough with the absence. Enough with the world outside. Enter the history of the world. Grab the apple."
"I'm sorry for the world behind the world!"
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
Next, a scene that symbolizes the helplessness of the angels is projected.
A suicidal man is about to jump off the roof of a building, cursing others, himself and the world.
Cassiel immediately touches his shoulder and whispers, but the man jumps off and dies in vain.
Cassiel goes mad at his helplessness and is crushed.
The psychological depiction is amazing, and the camera work and sound effects stick in your heart.
(Flash, fast forward, violent camera shake, many frame advances, children screaming, husband and wife quarreling, fighter planes dropping bombs, air raid warnings, fires, people fleeing)
Dissolution of the Circus Troupe, Parting, and Alone
Finally the circus will disband.
The members behave cheerfully, sing and dance while feeling uneasy.
It's very sad, but at the same time, you can feel the strength of people in the way they behave cheerfully.
Saying goodbye to the members, Marion wanders aimlessly.
Marion entering a certain live venue.
It has a melancholic rock band and an audience that becomes one with their music.
It's like the "catacombs" of medieval Europe, and it's a drug-like dim atmosphere with various emotions such as anxiety, fear, escape, sleep, and relief.
Eventually, in bed, Marion has a dream.
Damiel Appears in a Dream.
He's in armor, he's floating on his wings, his arms are outstretched, and he's staring at her, telling her not to worry.
You don't know if the appearance of the dream is a coincidence or the power of Damiel.
In his sleep, Marion whispers, "Stay with me."
Invitation to the Human World, Determination
The scene changes and Damiel observes Peter, an actor from America, in a cafe.
Damiel thinks, "This person always seems to be having fun."
Then Peter talks to Damiel who should be invisible.
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
Peter:
"You can't see it, can you? I feel it. I feel it all the time."
"I want to see your face. I want to tell you how nice this is."
"Touching something cold. It feels good."
“I smoke. I drink coffee.I have nothing to say if I can be with you."
"It's good to draw pictures."
"Take a pencil and draw a thick line. Then a thin line. Two lines make a nice line."
"If my hands feel numb, rub them together. This is another good feeling!"
"So many wonderful things"
"But you're not here. I'm here. I wish you could come over here. I wish we could talk. We're friends, brother!"
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
Then reach out and shake hands with the invisible Damiel.
Damiel also puts out his hand and shakes his hand and leaves curiously.
Finally, Damiel decides to become a human.
He happily tells Cassiel what he wants to do when he becomes a human.
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
Cassiel: "So?"
Damiel:
"Go with the flow"
"I finally understood the meaning of the proverb."
"We should go down to the rapids. There is no shore. Only if we go down to the current will there be rapids."
"On the brink of time, standing on the brink of death."
"Get down from the Angel's Watchtower. Don't look down, look at eye level."
"First take a bath"
"Then go to the barber. I like the Turkish one."
"Massage me to his fingertips."
"Buy a newspaper and read the horoscope from the front page."
"The first day is special treatment."
"I refuse requests, and if someone trips over me, I ask them to apologize."
"If someone hit me, hit him back"
"Sit comfortably in a crowded bar."
"The official car stopped and the mayor let me ride."
"Nobody thinks I'm a stranger."
"I just listen quietly."
"It's like that on the first day."
Casiel: "Such an illusion!"
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
"Brink" means the shallow part of the river.
In other words, he wants to enter the river, feel the flow, and surrender himself, rather than sit back and watch on the shore.
At that moment, the surrounding area changes to a clear color image.
Damiel is getting closer and closer to being human.
Birth, the world's first experience!
Finally, Damiel faints and is embraced by Cassiel.
Now an angel died.
And a man was born.
The Berlin Wall in the background is filled with Moomin-like characters.
You can see that it is drawn in colorful colors, which is completely different from the monochrome.
Is it a hint that more and more fun things will appear from now on?
The Berlin Wall, a dark part of history, is painted with hopeful designs by people living today.
It feels good to overcome the tragic past from now on.
Then, with a thump, medieval armor falls on Damiel's head as he falls unconscious.
It's probably a metaphor for the death of an angel.It's humorous.
Now, the human Damiel finally begins to walk the world.
Damiel is awakened by the loud noise of the helicopter, and smiles wryly in delight.
Damiel noticed the blood on his head where the armor hit him.
"Is this blood?"
Damiel is impressed that he has gained life by feeling the vividness and taste of blood with his five senses.
For some reason, even for us, the billboards and advertisements in the hustle and bustle of the city feel very human and warm.
Damiel was so surprised and delighted that he called out to a passing man, showed him his blood, and asked him a question.
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
Damiel:
"Is this red?"
"How are you?"
"What color is this pipe?"
"What color is the dog graffiti on that wall?"
"What color is next to it?"
"What's next to it?"
"Very cold?"
"Coffee would be nice."
"Today is a really good day."
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
Then, I go to the cafe while being impressed by the ambulance sirens and the vivid colors of the billboard advertisements.
Elegant BGM is flowing in the cafe.
Damiel immediately orders coffee.
Smell it, check the warmth of the cup and its round shape, and put it in his mouth.
Rub his hands together and enjoy the feeling of his skin.
Here the poem of joy flows.
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
Narration:
“Children used to eat apples and bread when they were children, and still do today.”
"When I was a kid, it rained a lot of blueberries. It still does now."
"I ate walnuts and my tongue got rough. Still the same."
“Every time I climbed a mountain, I yearned for a higher mountain, and every time I went to a town, I yearned for a bigger city.Still the same."
“I grew proud of climbing trees and picking cherries, and it is still the same today.”
"I used to be shy. I'm still shy."
"I couldn't wait for the first snow. Even now."
“When I was a child, I used to throw spears at trees."
"The stabbed spear is still shaking."
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
They tell you that adults are still the same as children
Come on, he's singing to remind you of what it felt like to be a kid again.
Damiel sells armor in an antique shop.
This scene is beautiful, comfortable, and humorous without regrets.
Without hesitation, he walks out of the store with colorful jackets, ties, watches and hats.
This work shows us the emotions of the characters in a way that is easy for us to understand, and it is well done.
It's so shine!
A boy walks by and asks for directions.
Damiel teases a boy for fun with wordplay.
He deliberately put up a lot of proper nouns to confuse the boy.
This kind of humorous depiction makes the atmosphere of the story very bright.
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
Boy: "Where's Acacia Street?"
Damiel:
"Go right on Christpark, go on Grunewaldstrasse, turn left instead of right on Golzstrasse."
Boy: "Oh my god!"
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
Former angel and former angel
Damiel, who has become a human, wants to convey his excitement to Peter as soon as possible, so he goes to meet him.
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
Damiel: "Brother!"
Peter:
"I'm so happy for you!"
"How's it going?"
"For some reason, I thought you were tall."
"When did you become human?"
Damiel:
"When did it happen?"
"Minute, hour, week, month, time! Is this the time!"
Peter: "You'll need money."
Damiel: "I have money! I sold things."
Peter: "Armor? How much?"
Damiel: "200 marks"
Peter:
"It was a bargain. Look, 30 years ago, it was $500 at a pawn shop on the corner of 23rd Street in New York."
Damiel:
"you?"
"you also?"
Peter:
"There are quite a lot."
"You're not the only one."
Peter:
"So, from now on?"
Damiel: "I have a lover."
Peter: "Sweetheart. Nice!"
Damiel: "Tell me more!"
"I want to know everything."
Peter: ”Find out for yourself. ”
”It's fun.”
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
That's right, Peter used to be an angel.
Damiel's senior
He loves sketching portraits of people.
Damiel goes looking for Marion.
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
Damiel:
"There is another sun than the one in the sky, Cassiel."
"Spring dawning in the depths of the night. New wings we don't know. Wings that will surprise us."
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
Rather than the sun of the planet, is it a yang that means sunshine or dawn?
Marion gradually expands her hopes after meeting Damiel in a dream.
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
Inside Marion's mind:
"I don't know who I am, who I don't know. I don't have a past or a country, but that's good."
"I am here. I am free. I can imagine anything. Anything is possible."
"I just look up and blend into the world. Now I feel here, happiness that should always be felt"
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
Change to vivid color image.
With bright eyes and a hopeful face.
Is it the effect of seeing an angel in a dream?
Marion is clearly full of spiritual power.
Marion begins searching for Damiel.
She met Peter by chance in a cafe.
It's cool to ask Columbo, a great detective, to look for people.
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
Marion:
"Detective, you're good at finding people, aren't you?"
Peter:
"There's also the matter of entering the labyrinth."
"Are you looking for someone?"
Marion: "I feel like looking for someone."
Peter:
"Who? Boy? Girl? Man? Woman?"
"You're looking for a man."
"Name is?"
"Where do you live?"
Marion: "I don't know anything."
Peter: "That's a difficult case."
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
Peter senses the presence and talks to Cassiel, who seems to be lonely.
Peter:
"I can't see you."
"I can feel it"
"I want to see your face. I have a lot to talk about. You're my friend, brother!"
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
Saying so, he shakes hands with Cassiel.
Marion seems to be convinced that there is Damiel in the dream.
Attracted to each other
Meanwhile, Damiel and Marion desperately search for each other.
Finally, they arrive at the live venue.
Damiel sits on a chair at a nearby bar.
Squeeze through the audience and feel the presence of Damiel.
And The two meet for the first time after approaching Damiel as if being sucked in.
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
Marion:
"Someday we'll be serious."
"I was mostly alone."
"But I wasn't completely alone."
"It was fun to be with people, but I've come to think it was just a coincidence."
"It's just a coincidence that my parents weren't someone else."
"Why is my brother the brown-eyed boy and not the green-eyed boy from the platform across the street?"
"I was best friends with the taxi driver's daughter."
"I put her on my shoulder, but I'm glad the horse was my friend."
"I once had a lover, but it's also a coincidence that I left him behind and didn't follow a stray man."
"Look into my eyes?"
"Will you hold my hand?"
"No, don't hold my hand, don't look me in the eye."
"Tonight is the new moon. ”
”The quietest night ever. ”
”No bloodshed in the city."
"Until now, it wasn't just for fun. But this time, I wasn't even worried about being serious."
"Finally now, seriously"
"So I am at that age."
"I wasn't the only one serious?"
"Sometimes I'm serious."
“Whether I was alone or with people, I was never lonely.”
"I wanted to feel lonely."
"Because loneliness is to feel myself completely."
"Now I can finally say that. I understand loneliness."
"Coincidence is over."
"The new moon is the time to make a decision. "
"It's time to make a decision even if you don't know your fate."
" Make a decision. For us, now is the time."
"Our decisions are the decisions of all the worlds in this city."
"Now the two of us are something more than two."
"We are in the square; there are countless people in the square. "
"People with the same wishes as us."
"Everything depends on us."
"I have made up my mind. "
"Now it's up to you to make up your mind."
"Now is the only time"
"You need me. You're gonna need me."
"I'm sure the history that the two will create is wonderful."
"The history of the great things of men and women. "
"The history of the new ancestors, transmitted even though they are invisible."
"Look, my eyes are reflected, aren't they? Inevitably, the future of the people in the square."
"Last night, a man I didn't know appeared in my dream. My husband."
"For the first time, I understood loneliness with that person, and for the first time, I welcomed him with everything I had."
"I understand the labyrinth of happiness that welcomes that person in its entirety and is one with the labyrinth."
"That's you"
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
In Marion's monologue, You feel that human loneliness, loneliness, the flow of time, passion, history, coexistence, and the future are being talked about.
Until now, the main focus of this work has been children rather than adults,
but now it argues that adults who grow up to feel inevitable and become aware of loneliness create happiness.
And inevitably than by chance, you can feel loneliness, so you can become one with someone.
The history of the world is about to begin.
I think it's a very, very feminine view of the world.
Men have to know that women think like this.
And Damiel learns that not only angels but also humans have "eternity" and "infinite" perfection.
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
Damiel and Marion, then
Inside the mansion, Marion is holding a rope and practicing aerial tricks.
Damiel pulls on the rope below to help.
The two are united, just like a pair competition in figure skating.
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
Damiel:
"Something happened. It's still happening. It's irresistible."
"It happened at night. It's even clearer now during the day."
"Who's who? I'm in her. She wraps me around."
"Everyone doesn't know if I was one. I'm one."
"They were not children of a finite life, but they bore the image of eternity."
"I also know that I will be surprised."
"She took me home. I have a home too."
"It happened a long time ago.Event that happened a long time ago. So it will continue to happen."
"The image we conceived together is my life. A life long companion."
"The surprise of being two. The surprise of a man and a woman. That's what made me human."
"I know now. Things no angel knows."
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
Is it a mixed feeling of the indescribable feeling of anxiety you get when you fall in love, and the comforting feeling of security you get when you're with your partner?
Like my dominant arm, my partner is connected by many motor nerves, and I can't stand even if they leave.
Like two magnets with south and north poles attached, a sense of unity that can never be overturned like scientific proof.
In it, Damiel must have seen a perfect form different from that of an angel.
What is it like to live?
It's hard to put into words, but I think humans have more depth or potential.
Humans are born alone and die alone.
It's lonely, it's absurd, it's very precarious.
Because we have a limited lifespan, we can appreciate the beauty and dearness of everything we see, hear, and touch.
Because life is limited, we feel like we are searching for something eternal and perfect, and creating it in our heart.
I feel like it's a waste if we think that it's not the instinct of animals.
Is that feeling of ecstasy when you have a valuable experience something instinctive?
I believe it is spiritual.
I feel that it is a living energy different from food.
Nerve signals run around the whole body, excitement and passion that makes all muscles tremble, and the euphoria.
You think you are the best, you feel this place is the best, you feel like your friends who are involved with you are the best, you feel like this time is the best.
I think we have the power to generate that kind of energy in any miserable situation.
And those energies are transmitted from person to person.
When the older generation lives energetically and happily, the younger generation will want to be like that, and they will grow old quickly and want to know more about the world.
Enjoy your finite life.
What is a storyteller
Now, there is another character in this work.
This is where the old man writes down his thoughts as a storyteller.
I think this storyteller is an angel that the author idealizes.
A person who understands, sympathizes with, and heals human troubles.
A person who thinks deeply about history, past, present, and future, and communicates better for human beings.
A person who sympathizes with, cherishes, and lives with human beings.
Such an existence has been necessary in every era, and will continue to be important in the future.
Let's hear what he thinks.
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
Elder:
"Speak, O Goddess of Poetry. An infant and an old man who drifted to the end of the world. Homer, the storyteller who is the mirror of all."
"My listeners become readers with time, no longer sitting in circles, sitting alone at their desks, not caring about others."
"I am old and my voice is hoarse, but stories still rise from the abyss."
"The open mouth repeats forcefully."
“A story that can be fully understood and passed on to all people.”
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
A storyteller is someone who, like a mirror, tells the world through words and images.
One who endures loneliness and speaks of the beauty of the world for all.
I'm not just talking about works of art.
A person who impresses people with all five senses, whether at work, on social media, or in community activities.
People who give us exclamation marks like “Ah!” “This is it!”
Please find more and tell me.
Next, emphasize what the storyteller must keep telling.
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
Elder:
"The world seems to be twilight, but I will continue to speak.
In the same tune as before.
Fueled by song, the story does not get bogged down in the chaos of the present world and heads towards the future.
The once great story that spanned the centuries is over.
Now I just think about each day.
It is not a story about a brave warrior or a king, but a story about only peaceful things.
It can be a dried onion or a swamp migratory tree.
No one has yet successfully told the epic of peace.
Why is it that peace does not inspire anyone and makes it difficult for stories to emerge?
Give up?
If I give up, humanity will lose its storyteller.
To lose the storyteller is to lose humanity's childhood."
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
Let's talk about beauty instead of misery, talk about the future instead of the past, talk about the future instead of loneliness.
And he regrets that he was powerless against the war that cost so much for his people.
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
Elder:
"I can't find Potsdamer Platz. Is it here?
It's not like this.
Potsdamer Platz has Café Josti.
In the afternoon, we chatted, drank coffee, watched passers-by, and smoked cigars.
That cigar from the Rose Wolf firm across the square.
Is this Potsdamer Platz?
No matter who you ask, they say otherwise.
It was a busy square.
Streetcars and omnibuses came and went, and two cars, mine and a chocolate shop.
The Wertheim department store used to be here, but one day it was suddenly covered with flags.
The square was covered with flags. Since then, people started hating people.
Not to mention the police.
I will never give up.
Until I found the old Potsdamer Platz.
My heroes, my children, where have you gone?
Where have my characters gone?
Who are the first characters in the story?
Goddess of poetry, call me, the poor immortal poet.
Abandoned by those who once heard poetry, lost his voice, and was once a talking angel.
Now ignored and ridiculed, this crossroads musician sings in the middle of no-man's land."
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
"Isolation, suspicion, exclusion, selfishness, indifference, prejudice, and discrimination'' were born because of the war.
He laments what the storyteller was doing to these.
The world has been hurt and hurt so much, and the scars still remain.
And he is generously proclaiming the revival of the storyteller.
Renaissance, revival
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
Elder:
"Tell me, the storyteller and singer, the names of the men, women, and children who will one day find me."
"People need storytellers more than anything else in this world."
"Boarding complete!"
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
With hope
This "Boarding complete!" the voice of the narration is also very good.
Please listen.
Damiel became a human, landed on the ground, and began to feel the world.
Marion finally found herself for real.
The storyteller once again begins to speak for the world.
Now, the ships of the world will depart.
Be hopeful!
There are many worries and sorrows in life.
"Loneliness, Loneliness, Anguish, Fear"
Negative aspects are attacking us all at once.
Still great to live.
"Warmth, Hope, Humor, Connection, Change, Coexistence, Togetherness."
A lot of positive things await you.
Precisely because we have a finite life, and precisely because it hurts to hurt,
the more you have that feeling, the more dear you feel to this unstable and lonely human being.
Knowing that the world, like yourself, is not eternal, feels precious, ephemeral, and beautiful.
It is a work that makes you feel like that.
Please take a look at Wim Wenders's original version of this wonderful storyteller, please review.
People who have a hard time living will surely be moved by something.
Feel it with the eyes of an angel how precious this world is, how much fun it is.
You will say Yuji Oda's famous quote "I'm glad I was born on earth!!"on the world athletics TV broadcast.
Why don't you make a lot of memories together?
I say.

Personal Cecil, Lou Ellen, and Will headcanons but they're messily composed because it's 1am but they're extra trans (and hopefully not too transphobic) to make up for it:
okay so Will grows up on some huge family plot of land that they farm and idk what they grow maybe like mixed veggies and grains or maybe they just have livestock idk
someone gave them a pig at some point when Will was a baby or toddler or something and my Will is Jewish so they're not allowed to do anything with the pig besides keep it as a pet but it's friends with the cattle dog so this is okay
he meets Lou Ellen when he's in like kindergarten or first grade or something they're both like really young and fast best friends
I'm torn between they meet Cecil in New York at camp and he's from a more conservative or maybe even Orthodox Jewish family, but I also love the idea of him being a kid Will (reformist) knew from synagogue who joined their friend group
either way when Will was a kid Cecil totally had a crush on him (but like trans Will, because Cecil being the solo cishet in the friend group is funny)
Will is that early bloomer trans kid that's got it figured out (more or less) by like 11 or 12 or something
he comes from a really supportive family with a really mixed racial and ethnic background so being trans is just normal
it's culturally relevant to his family in the stories they tell and pass on so even if nobody else in his family is trans or similar he just grows up with it right beside him
also (to simplify things) there's six genders in Judaism so it's just like chill that he's trans
Lou Ellen realizes she's trans because of him and they fight because she's not ready to come out yet even to herself and she's working through some jealousy feelings about the fact that Will's family loves him as himself and all sorts of just complicated stuff that she isn't ready to talk about
Will's upset because he thinks Lou Ellen is super transphobic (conservative chrisitian household or something) and he doesn't want to lose his best friend
once again torn between Cecil's entry point into the friend group but him having to sit awkwardly in the middle seat of he car and attempt to make conversation between Lou Ellen and Will during the year they're fighting when Naomi or Cecil's mom take them back and forth from Texas and Camp (or if Cecil is from New York some equally long road trip with camp chaperones for like medical supplies or something idk)
also I think it would be funny and horrible if Cecil had plans to ask Will out on like Thursday and finds out on Tuesday that he's trans (in the sense that Cecil only likes girls) so Cecil's plans go out the window
I think Will should date Drew here and Will is still working through the "am I trans masc or non binary? ok if yes to trans masc, am I like entirely man or just a bit dude on the scale? does that make me straight or a lesbian? etc" and all those un fun but memorable gender-sexuality questions that you take 3am crisis quizzes for <3
Lou Ellen manages to work through her feelings and she comes out to Will in tears and apologetic and "I'm so sorry I was just jealous" and all those other really annoying 13-14 year old feelings
everything is good between them even if a bit tentative at first but during this point they're at camp so Lou Ellen and Will figure out this messy early fun trans years together where she helps him pick out his first short hair cut and measure for a binder (which he doesn't need because his mom helped him get on blockers but he wants one so...) meanwhile he's equally lost on how to do makeup but trying to learn the things Lou Ellen can't figure out herself so he can teach her and they're both trying to figure out what you can eat to make your hair grow faster, etc
ofc through all of this there are classic friend group shenanigans and coming of age stuff like perfecting powers and magic, Will moving up in the infirmary, Lou Ellen and Cecil designing pranks together, but all sad things like siblings dying and war and other canon events
anyhow they go home after that summer back to Texas and Lou starts having a tough time at home and after just a few weeks she just picks up a phone and asks Naomi if she can move into their spare bedroom and of course the answer is yes (ofc)
so Will gets a new sister/best friend in his house in addition to the probably like 16 cousins that also live on the property
Texas is super transphobic but this is my niche headcanon fantasy so we'll say it's less so, and there's some magic loophole law that Lou Ellen is able to get on blockers after just a few months living with Naomi and Will
this goes on for maybe a year or so uninterrupted
except more messy teenage feelings make their way in because Cecil is dating someone to try to get over having liked Will because he is straight meanwhile Lou Ellen is catching feelings for Cecil but doesn't want to get in the way of his new relationship or their friendship
Will breaks up with Drew and comes out as bi/pan/queer (label differention doesn't matter to him personally) sometime before that or after that? Idk queue recognition crush on Nico somewhere around here
Lou Ellen's family starts coming back around and they're not perfect but they're at least trying now but she still wants to live with Naomi but she agrees to meet with them once a week or something
Cecil is still dating his girlfriend but realizing this may not be the best choice as he is catching feelings for Lou Ellen now but he is worried about ruining their friendship.. should he talk to Will about this?
Will starts medical transition <3
Cecil breaks things off with his girlfriend and decides maybe to try to date Lou Ellen but he's worried she won't like him
Lou Ellen is able to start medical transition!! She's extremely happy but her family starts to pull back
this upsets Lou Ellen, understandably, and queue some sort of Cecil gets relationshipped blocked again by a similar problem in the same friend group
he's a trooper though and knows that's not the important thing and is absolutely there for Lou Ellen alongside Will and all their other friends and found family through this
at some point during the aforementioned events Will finally notices that Cecil and Lou Ellen like each other (he tends to be thick when it comes to such) and from this also pieces together the realization that Cecil used to like him
despite Will finding this funny he now exists in his friend group in a constant state of "holy shit what is wrong with you two just kiss already"
anyhow Lou Ellen and Will get fun happy trans puberty feelings and everything is a bit bittersweet
Nico and Will end up together at some point and good for them etc etc
it's Nico who ends up getting into people's business and meddling a bit (with Mitchell's help of course, he is making friends <3) manages to her Cecil and Lou Ellen together
Will is incredibly thankful because the tension was killing him but he's also happy his friends are happy
it's been a year or two now and Lou Ellen's family is coming back around and she's weary of them but she's still willing to try and this time they're much more genuine and try harder and semester more interested in her and her life and keeping her around
so her and Cecil are happy together and everyone now picks on Cecil for being the cishet of the friend group who managed to crush on both the trans kids and more than one gender without realizing it, etc etc
but it's all in good fun and they all love him for it
Nico and Will can have a happy ending too, everyone can enjoy walking off into the Texas sunset or something or into the New York Streets for college or New Rome or something idk happily ever after though because I want to
Okay now it's 2:30 am so I stop here an leave it all messy and go to bed <3

The Winter Ghost - Part 5
Info: A Devastating car crash causes you to lose your memory and start over. The only thing left in the wreckage was the horrific nightmares which plagued your mind. If you knew what today would entail you would have just stayed in bed. But you didn't and because of that, everything you knew was about to change.
Pairing: Bucky Barnes x Y/n
Warning: language, PTSD, anxiety, violence, fluff.
W/c: 3.5K ish
A/n : oooh getting serious. Im having so much fun writing this you guys! Shout out to @cutie1365​ for all her support! Go read her fic A Kid From Queens, but dont say I didnt warn you. Its addicting! 
Tumblr media
Everything happened really fast after that day in the common room with Wanda. Shuri worked tirelessly in the lab trying to develop a softer approach to bringing back your memories. She believed if she could restore them fully, we would have the last piece of the puzzle.
Becoming the perfect war machine seemed like the most obvious use for the serum, but Steve reminded you Hydra always had something up their sleeve.
You really enjoyed living in Wakanda. Most days were spent in the gym training. Trying to harness the team's abilities was not so enjoyable. You worked with Wanda most. It helped that you were only 4 years older than her. She was younger than most of the team and had a dark past that seemed to mirror yours.
Most of your nights consisted of you, Wanda and Nat settling into the couch and cheesy eighties movies on the plasma TV. Bucky would often come out of his room and sit with you.
You really enjoyed Bucky's energy. Something about him just drew you to him. Maybe it was his smile, or the way he smelled like mint and nicotine, or that he read the newspaper and drank black coffee in the mornings. You weren't sure. One thing was for certain, the more time you spent together, the harder it became to leave him. Bucky would tell you about his past and how he used to have to bail little 'Stevie' out of bar fights and ally brawls every other day. He made you laugh like no one really did. When he told you about his time with Hydra and how they would control his mind you would rake your fingers through his hair and whisper to him he wasn't alone anymore.
As the days melted into weeks, the horrific nightmares began to grow legs. It was one of the many side effects from Shuri’s digging. Some days it felt like Hydra knew you would try to remember and this was their fail-safe. Every time you began to drift off you'd see Tommys pale face, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth. You swear, right before he stumbled off the edge of the bridge you saw him say something. You could never remember when you woke, nor could you recall any other detail other than Tommy. It felt wrong. You felt wrong. Like he wasn't yours to grieve.
One particular bad night, you remember waking up screaming. Your whole body felt like it was on fire as your tears seared down your cheeks. The only thing that grounded you after that was the small knock that echoed from the other side of your door.
“Hey, doll. Let me in?” His voice was soft and smooth and the only thing that seemed to bring you back to the dimly lit bedroom. You stared at the ceiling for a solid minute before slowly rising and crossing the room. Gently, you opened the door just a crack and looked up. There stood a sleepy-eyed Bucky. He sported a baggy pair of grey sweats and an old beat up tank, his arms on full display. In normal circumstances, you believed that that was enough to knock you out of any state. You wondered if Bucky knew the effect he had on people. Or worse, if he knew the effect he had on you.
“Can't sleep, keep me company?” He spoke, huskily. You could tell he had just woken up. Sleep still clouded his eyes, and the yawn he tried to stifle gave him away. You appreciate what he was trying to do, so instead of calling the man out, you opened the door, and welcomed the Super Soldier in.
You talked for hours that night. He didn't ask about your nightmare, which you appreciated. You had recited the images to Shuri about thirty times in the past week. It was the only memory that seemed to come back. It replayed over and over on a continuous loop through your mind. This moment with Bucky was a welcomed break.
“Can I ask you somethin’?” You finally spoke. Bucky and you had found your way onto your bed at some point. His right arm draped around your shoulder, as you leaned on his chest. He cracked his neck to look down at you.
“Of course.” He offered, shifting onto his side so he could really look at you.
“Does it ever stop? I’m so exhausted, all I want to do is sleep but I- I'm so scared. I don’t want to see it again… What if it never-” Your voice broke off, shutting your eyes tight to stop a tear from escaping.
“Hey, hey. You're not alone anymore. Remember? I went through it and came out the other side. And look how well adjusted I am.” Bucky smirked, sarcasm laced his last remark. You couldn't help but smile at that. You didn't know if anyone but you and Steve really knew how funny he was. Maybe he liked it that way. Maybe he was only that way with you? You knew it had been awhile since Bucky had really been this way around others. It warmed your heart how quickly the two of you got along.
“Listen to me, doll.” He started, seriously, lowering his stare to meet yours.
“I’ll be here. Whenever you need me. I know what it's like, to feel out of control. To feel like a prisoner in your own body. To answer your question, yeah I think it gets better. I mean,” He paused then, looking you up and down in a way that made you blush. He started again, words laced with that old Brooklyn charm the ladies used to love. Granted, that worked back in 1940 - something and he had been out of the game for quite a while.
“I’m in bed with a smart, complicated, frankly beautiful dame. I’d say it gets better, wouldn't you?” He gently tucked a strand of your hair behind your ear. His touch sent shivers down your spine. Bucky's stormy eyes bore into yours making your breath hitch in your throat. There was a moment, so brief that when you recanted the memory you weren't sure it really happened. But you thought maybe for just a second he wanted to-  
“Up and at it, Y/n! Training starts at 0700!” Caps voice droned through your bedroom door suddenly, knocking you out of your thoughts and back to the bed you resided on. Your hand reached out for Bucky, who since that night spent most beside you. He would stay with you until you fell asleep and more often than not, when you woke, he’d be beside you, fast asleep. His side of the bed was cold, however. He had been up for a while.
You looked at your phone on the nightstand. 6:15 am it read. You groaned, rubbing your hands over your face and slinking out of bed. Pain screamed from your muscles as you opened the bathroom door. Carefully, you started the shower, steam quickly filled the room and calmed your aching bones. You stepped in and autobly signed.
Fifteen minutes later you met the rest of the team in the kitchen. You couldn't help but notice Bucky wasn't in attendance. Everyone looked like they had been awake for hours while your wet hair was pulled up in a messy knot on top of your head. Nat was pouring herself a cup of coffee when she noticed you come in. She smirked, instantly grabbing another mug and gesturing to the pot in her hands. You nodded quickly. ‘Coffee fixed most everything’. That's what Your Dad used to tell you before he left for work and you lived by that.
“Look who's finally up…” Cap announced. You had no idea how he was so chipper in the mornings. Even the sound of his booming voice made you cringe. The man must have coffee running through his veins. Maybe that should be Hydra’s next serum idea…
“I have risen. Just for you, Rogers.” You muttered sarcastically, taking the mug of coffee from Nat. You smiled and mouthed thank you, taking a big swig. Ugh, you grimaced, swallowing the brown substance much to your dismay. You didn't know what this brown water was but it definitely wasn't coffee.
Wanda laughed at your disgusted face, "It's decaf, Y/n '' she rolled her eyes, "Cap thinks decaf is better for the team. That coffee will mess with our 'performance' or whatever." She shrugged. What's even the point? You thought.
“Excuse me young lady.” Cap began, scolding Wanda like she was his teenager. Wanda smirked, turning towards his voice.
“Young lady?” Nat mocked her friend, nudging him out of the way as she reached for the piece of toast she had put in the toaster. She took a bite and over chews laughed, “You're really aging yourself, Cap.” She finished, hoisting herself up onto the kitchen island beside you.
You really liked Natasha. You thought she must have been the most beautiful person you'd ever met. Her red hair always curled around her soft features perfectly. You honestly didn't know how a human could look that perfect and be so deadly. Over the past few weeks, Nat had taught you a lot. You mostly trained with Captain Rogers and Wanda, but occasionally Nat would step in. She was small in stature, but she helped you learn how to use that to your advantage.
“What’cha say we go get some real coffee, babe?” Nat nudged you with a small smile. You looked up at her with a wide eye gaze. She truly was a hero.
“God, yes please.” You beamed as she jumped off the island.
“If you're skipping out on training then count me in! I” Wanda chimed.  Rogers looked frustrated as the three of you started towards the door.
“Nat, you heard what Shuri said. Y/n cannot leave the premises until we know what she's fully capable of. She’s dangerous.” Cap stated firmly, but unmoved from the kitchen. You looked at the floor uncomfortably. He was right. You were a ticking time bomb. You all knew it. Shuri explained with the presence of the nightmares it was only a matter of time before something snapped. And no one really knew how that would look when it happened. For the most part, everyone treated you like a normal person. An honorary member of the team. But Rogers often reminded you that you were anything but. Just an experiment and a means to an end.
"Comeon' y/n. I know a place we can get some real coffee."  Nat spoke, louder than Cap. Venom seeped from her words as she glared at the Captain. She shook her head disapprovingly. Wanda took your hand, pulling you gently out of the kitchen. When you touched you felt your skin sizzle, absorbing the power that surged through her body. You made a conscious effort to steady your breathing and push her power to the back of your mind. As you left you heard Natasha’s booming voice coming from behind you but decided to ignore it, as the two of you headed for the garage.
“Are you fucking kidding me, Steve?” Nat snapped at him. Steve opened his mouth and closed it trying to find the right words. “She’s a person, you ass! You can't keep treating her like some unhinged science experiment. She’s just a person. Just like me. Just like Bucky.”
“She’s nothing like Bucky!” He thundered. Nat took a step back, snaking her head disapprovingly. “I can’t keep thinking, what if we had it wrong. I mean, she can’t remember anything. What if her memories come back and she's not really on our side. I don't think we thought this through, Nat.” He huffed, running his hands over his face in frustration.
“I trust her, Steve. Bucky trusts her.” She started, taking a few steps closer to him. He shook his head in annoyance and scoffed.
“Bucky thinks the girl’s a doll. He’s totally smitten, that doesn't count. I think the guy would trust anything she said at this point-”
“Do you trust me?” Nat snapped, a brow arched, hands on her hips. Stever huffed, pinching the bridge of his nose.
“You know I do, but-” He began.
“Then it's settled. You gotta’ let the girl out. She's been locked up here for weeks. I promise, I’ll keep her safe. Besides, I’m getting pretty tired of her stealing my clothes. Coffee, and shopping and then we’ll be back, yeah?” Nat offered, voice dripping with sweetness. She knew she had won this battle. She always did.
“Two hours, Romanoff. That's all you get.” Steve grumbled. Nat smirked, rolling her eyes and spinning on her heel to meet you and Wanda in the garage.
“See ya later, Grandpa. Don't wait up.” She offered over her shoulder. Steve only shook his head and chuckled, hoping desperately he hadn't made a huge mistake.
Nat strutted victoriously out of the kitchen, and almost ran right into Bucky's large frame. She stumbled back, regaining her balance quickly. Bucky raised one brow curiously.
“Where ya’ going in such a hurry?” He asked, watching her carefully.
“I’m taking your girl out for a much needed shopping trip. Anything particular you'd like to see her in?” She quipped, sarcastically, flipping her hair over her shoulder. Bucky choked on a cough, clearing his throat and trying to turn it into a laugh. He failed, of course.
“I- ah, I don't know what- uh, what?” He finally got out. Nat smirkled, and patted him on his stiff chest. It was literally too easy. The man was such a ball of stress. Nat thought it was honestly cute. She’s never seen Bucky like this before. Nervous and blushing. She thought you were really good for him. Maybe you’ll finally take that stick out of his ass. She thought with a smirk.
“Have a nice day, Sergeant.” She cooed, pushing past his rigid body leaving Bucky in shock.
“You ready, babies?” Nat grinned, putting the key in the Jeep’s ignition. You sat in the back seat while Wanda sat in the passenger, both nodding vigorously.
“For the love of coffee!” You shouted, pointing forward. Both women laughed and with that you took off.
……………………...
You practically skipped through the Wakanda market. Beautiful earthy colours melted into the scenery practically taking your breath away. Wanda and Nat had stopped at a small coffee shop, but you wandered around, looking at the beautiful handmade clothing. The smoky smell of something cooking from a nearby street grill filled your senses. It was complex, sweet and spicy and sour all at once. It made your mouth water. Foreign and delicious. You followed the smell to a small hutch where people gathered around, eating and laughing.
“Beautiful isn't it? How food brings us all together.” A man spoke beside you. You recognized him as T’Challa, Shuri’s older brother and also the man who is letting you and your new friends stay in Wakanda. You had only really met him in passing, but never really spoke. Bucky always describes him as a kind, gracious friend. You smiled up at him.
“It is… Really beautiful.” You repeated.
“How are you liking Wakanda, Y/n?” He asked. His voice was deep and rich. Almost melodic. Just by speaking he had commanded the attention of the people around you. The new eyes on the two of you made you feel uneasy and small, but you took a deep breath and relaxed yourself.
“It's so gorgeous here. Thank you for having me, T’Challa.” You spoke his name and it made him smile. You froze unsure if that was the right thinking to call him. He was the King, sort of, but Bucky had always referred to him by his given name.
“Breath, my friend. You have nothing to fear here. You are with good people. Your friend Bucky speaks very highly of you. And any friend of the Sergeants is a friend of mine.” He voiced, placing a warm hand on your shoulder as you relaxed. From behind him you could see Nat and Wanda walking towards you. Wanda waved chaotically making you smile.
An old beat-up SUV made a loud popping noise as it pulled up somewhere behind you. The noise made you shudder. The familiar sound of gunshots rang through your ears as you grabbed your head, trying to make the noise stop. You looked to T’Challa who seemed only concerned, reaching out a hand to steady you.
“Is everything okay, Y/n?” He spoke, trying to gage what was wrong by your actions. The loud deady blows echoed through your head, unrelenting as a scream erupted through the crowd. You weren't sure if you had made the noise of if it was someone else. Everything seemed to fade away and your vision became blurry.
“Y/n, Y/n! Can you hear me?!” You heard a woman yell over the crowd. You tried to focus on her voice, but it was too late. Everything suddenly went black and you felt your body go numb.
You woke up in the dark cement room that plagued your nightmares. A man's eerie voice echoed off the walls.
“Еще раз!” Again! He shouted. Usually when you relieved these memories you didn't know what the man was saying.  But for some reason, this time your brain was translating for you. You didn’t question it as you looked around the room. You felt your body scream as an excruciating electric shock ripped through you. Tears burned down your face as you begged incoherently for it to stop. As fast as it came on, the shock stopped, and you could breathe again.
“Ты сама во всем виновата, дитя мое.” You brought this on yourself, my child. The man cooed, wiping a bead of sweat that ran down your forehead. You winced at his touch, the feeling of him on you making you nauseous.
“Если бы ты только сделал то, о чем тебя просили. Если бы вы только слушали. Может быть, все было бы по-другому, хотя я сомневаюсь в этом.” If only you had done what you were asked. If only you have listened. Maybe things would be different, though, I doubt it. He spat, chuckling as he motioned for the other outside of view to start again.
“Please, don’t do this, Zemo. Обещаю. Возьми мою память. Заставь меня забыть, только не делай этого.” I promise. Take my memory. Make me forget, just don't do this. You begged. You tried to move your arms but they were secured down. The man only laughed at your feeble attempt, building a rage inside of you.
“Oh, don't you worry, мой ребенок. All in due time. When I’m done with you, you won't remember your own name.” He grinned a crooked smile as the machine you laid in whirled on again, sending a volt of electricity through your body. You clenched your teeth and stifled another scream.
Your eyes burst open, scolded by the sun and the tears that now streamed down your face. Gasping for air you tried to sit up, but your body shrieked with pain. On your left Nat sat beside you, Wanda was on your right holding a phone to her ear yelling something you couldn't quite make out.  Your breath slowly began to return and the sunspots in your vision cleared. You looked around, the market was now almost empty but the small street grill was now billowing with smoke and flame. Nat helped you up, body still aching. You looked around, horrified by the mess that was once the lively market.
“Are you okay, Y/n” Nat started, her hands on either side of your arms. You blinked at her, terrified.
“What happened?” You asked, horrified to actually know the answer. She gave you a nervous look and tucked a loose hair behind her ear.
“It wasn't your fault, Y/n. No one was hurt, everyone got out. It’s going to be okay.”
“It most certainly is not going to be okay!” Captain Rogers' voice boomed from behind the three of you. Wanda spun around startled, while you just hung your head low. Whatever lashing he was going to give you, you deserved. It couldn't be any worse than what Zemo had done…  You paused, eyes a gape.
“Oh my God.” You gasped, alerting the others. Steve looked at her angrily, impatient for your next words.
“I remember something… I think- I think I remember who did this to me.” You choked out, eyes glassy as you remembered for the first time the man who made you a monster.

Blue Changes
We had a fun little challenge, we picked a prompt and had 3, 15 minute sprints to write something for the prompt. Then 24 hours for light editing to finish sentences if needed, grammar etc. This is my take on the the prompt "Has anyone ever told you just how adorable you are Because you really are." Dedicated to @verfound 🧡
“Marinette, where is my favorite designer at?!” Jagged burst into the studio, Fang trotting happily next to him on her leash and Penny multitasking between her phone call and tablet. Technically he was supposed to be on a plane to New York, but decided to swing by Paris on his way because he had an idea that just could not wait and wanted to check on his unofficial niece anyways. There was only one speed bump in that plan, the studio was completely empty. The chaos of fabric strewn about and pieces half cut with scissors still mid snip definitely screamed someone was working hard or trying to at least, the mannequin with a half-pinned design and ripped fabric seemed to lean toward the latter.
“Looks like she’s not here… Must be taking a break. Penny, why don’t we order from my favorite bakery and make sure something extra special for Marinette. I’m glad we came here before the next stop on tour.” Jagged poked around at the sketches laying in abandon on the desk, some half crumbled on the floor and more stacked on a sketchbook.
“Seems like she is having some massive creators block… We should treat her when we have a break on the tour.” Penny suggested, already on the phone with Tom and trying to insist they would pay for their order.
Some of the sketches were brilliant but had marks of black throughout them, others were completely marked out and you could not even tell what the design was to start with. It hurt to physically see what pain Marinette was going through, most of the ones with the darker markings were of the same style. He could clearly see the thought of Adrien in the suits and matching dresses for Marinette, the anger of the marks showing something had happened or changed. Sighing heavily, Jagged gathered the papers, Fang batting the ones further away with her tail over to her owner. One paper had him blinking in surprise.
“Penn! Pen! Lookie here! D'ya see this?!” jagged shouted, shoving the paper into his assistant’s face, not even minding when she sighed and pushed it to a proper distance. It was a one-of-kind leather jacket and a custom hoodie drawn to match it. Either could be worn seperate or paired together. The colors were a contrast of electric blue and smokey turquoise, the theme was music and snake. Jagged recognized it as a rough sketch due to the lack of color or material notes along the edge that appeared on her finished drafts.
“Why was this crumpled up? It’s a really great idea!” Penny wondered aloud, noticing that the eccentric rockstar she commonly felt like she had to babysit was scheming. “Jagged no, whatever is it the answer is no.”
The door opened and in walked the designer they were looking for, Marinette seemed stressed and a bit run down. Her hair was thrown into a messy bun, one sleeve was pushed higher than the other and her shirt was wrinkled where it was tucked into her pencil skirt. Flip flops clacked along with her steps, another sign she was worn out if the basic shoe was more preferred to her custom made and very comfortable flats. An energy drink dangled from one hand and her design tablet occupied the other. Both guests watched as she made it all the way to her desk without noticing they were there.
“I have no idea what I'm going to do! I don't have anyone that fits that one or the orange one… I could make it a dress but who would wear it?! Ugh! I’m going to fail at this rate and then I won't graduate and I'll never design again, who would want something made by a failure-” Fang chose that moment to nudge her head onto the petite woman’s lap, startling her so bad she screamed and fell out of her chair.
“Well I reckon that I would love to have exclusive rights to all designs made by my favorite niece but we all know that’s not fair to the rest of the world. Now I know you are in a pinch and you’re stuck like a boat in the desert, so you’re going to take a break, spend some time with uncle Jay and make sure that you show poor Fang some love, she was all excited and you just screamed right in her poor face. C’mere my poor baby, Marinette is so mean I know.” Jagged showed the croc in love through pets and scratches. 
“When.. How, why?” Poor Marinette was lost and couldn't believe the rockstar was in her studio when he should've been halfway around the world for the next stop on his tour. 
“Okay, the only thing we’re doing right now is leaving all this behind for a much needed break for food and maybe a nap in your case. Time to relax and stop stressing for a minute." Penny authoritatively stepped in, stacking the papers on the desk, handing Marinette her purse and phone and with the help of Fang scooted the younger woman out the door.
Marinette protested "Wait I need to finish, it has to be done! I can't take a break, I just did!"
"Negative, now it's time for chow, and you need a shower, at your parents then we need to have a little chat. Ladies first!" Jagged gently shoved the designer into the car with cheer, allowing Fang and Penny to enter before him. 
"So my little brilliant niece, we have some great news and a rock and roll deal for you! Can't tell you what is until after you've taken a break though." They grinned as Marinette grumbles as she gave fang the attention she wanted until they pulled up to the bakery.
Getting out of the car first, Marinette sighed at the smell of her parents baking, the smell melting off some stress like butter melting on a fresh from the oven croissant roll. Her stomach grumbled and she opened the door for the other guests, sneaking an excited Fang upstairs to not scare the other customers. Deciding to take a refreshing shower, Marinette went to her bathroom and put on some zen meditation music before getting in the shower. Quick ten minutes later and she was feeling much more alive and hungry. On a whim she grabbed a random outfit that she had made but never worn, pleated plaid skirt with a red checker pattern offset by the off the shoulder fitted top in a burgundy color, and threw it on before joining her guests. 
"Oi looking good! One of yours?" Jagged shouted with his mouth full, causing Penny to smack his arm as a reminder to use manners. 
"Sure is! Never worn it before but decided change can be a good thing and sometimes you have to start the change instead of waiting for it to happen." Grabbing her favorite pastry and a croissant because you can't just smell one and not eat it, she missed the concerned look her adopted guardians shared.
"So your studio was, well, you seem to be having a hard time." Pen tried to be gentle but made a face at her words.
"Yeah… Life is… Changing." Marinette mused, picking at the pastry.
"Marinette, what can Uncle Jay do to help?" Jagged's serious tone drew her gaze and his heart broke at the sight of unshed tears.
"I uhm well. I- That is, we-" With a huff, she calmed down and a look of determination shone on her face. "Adrien asked me out, on a date date in this really elaborate way. I turned him down. I have no idea what I was thinking but when he asked me I was so happy and then all I could think of was blue and how soft its is and it can be so calm or so chaotic and it’s always changing like the ocean but yet it's always the same and there this feeling of calm and I just couldn't say yes."
The quiet settled into a slightly awkward silence, Marinette was ignoring it and Penny was having nonverbal argument with Jagged on what to say next. With an eye roll that spoke louder than her shouting at him, the assistant took the lead once more. Quietly she rose from the chair she was occupying and sat next to the young designer smoothing out the crumpled sketch she had taken from the studio.
"Is this the blue you're talking about?" 
"Yeah… That’s my blue." A gentle smile touched peach lips briefly, blue eyes going soft.
"Is this the skater kid?"
"Skater kid?" Marinette blinked in confusion.
"Nah Pen it's the boat kid."
"He has a name you guys!" Marinette broke down into giggles, looking much more like herself and less like a zombie just waltzing around and going through the motions. "His name is Luka, yes the one who went me skating with Adrien and Kagami, yes the boat kid who has a heart way too big for just his mom and sister. And now me…"
"Sounds like you made a change?" Penny prompted smiling widely.
"A blue one yeah, I did."
"Has anyone ever told you just how adorable you are?" Jagged shouted, picking up the younger woman and swinging her around as she shrieked. 
"Okay Jagged, let's not take over her whole day. We did have a reason to show up here after all." Penny handed the tablet to Marinette after he relinquished his hold. "This is what we're looking at for a surprise concert once we are back here in Paris. There's some issues I'm ironing out but I wanted to see what you think and if you would take lead on the design aspect."
"Wait, lead designer for your show?" Blue bell eyes swiveled between ocean blue and hazel sets, wide with disbelief and building excitement.
"Yup, this tablet is yours by the way. I do ask you to keep just business on it for the show, if you want more traditional sketches that's fine but once it's done it needs to be uploaded on here." Jagged explained, clapping a red clad shoulder.
"Oh you need an opening act? I've got that covered." The sparkle was finally back in her eye to match the mischievous grin.
"I agree with Jagged, are you sure no one has said it before because you really are adorable."

Congrats on your 800 follower milestone! Could I have a pairing please? Maybe a short situation too? I'm greedy for escape!
I'm under average height, fluctuate between uk size 6-8 but feel more comfortable in bigger sizes for comfort! After years of experimenting with my hair colour, I'm finally growing my natural shade out which is light brown/auburn and wavy. But it's mostly dyed blonde 'cept for the roots atm.
I'm at a crossroads on what I want to do with my career and kinda have low self-esteem regarding my capabilities.
I've been healing from trauma for the majority of my twenties, so I'm kinda lost on where I fit. I used to be arty and creative and I feel I've lost that over time.
I'm interested in all kinds of history, psychology, filmmaking, art and generally how things come to be/the contstruction of things.
I'm organised but messy. I don't want children, ever. If I'm in a good mood and on form I'm good with kids but if I'm in a depressed mood I am like...not present lol. Cats and dogs for me, thanks.
I try to take pride in my appearence and aesthetic, but go through funks of being a complete mess. Rn I'm wearing an XL camo shirt and blue tie die sweat shorts.
Random facts? I have a dimple in my chin that I once wanted to be corrected because I thought it made me ugly 😂 I realised I was bisexual (pan, really) when I saw Drew Barrymore in Charlies Angles when she's wearing that racing car jumpsuit 🥵 fuck. me. I felt *things*. I love collecting house plants but I'm really bad at keeping them alive. I've recently been teaching myself German and Spanish.
My dream is to be self-sufficient. To be able to travel and live somewhere that isn't my hometown. I just want that experience of being in a foreign city on my own and building up my life from the bottom. (Like, I want to go to NY and live there for a year!) And I want to go to a comic con and get my nerd on.
My type... kinda hard to pin down. If you're honest and funny and don't take yourself too seriously? Don't condescend anyone. Empathetic, supportive. Spontaneous. Weird. Accepting. Willing to learn and be open to new ways of thinking/doing sh*t.
Narcos and Prospect are my favorite works of Pedro's. Would be cool to see him doing live theatre, though.
Thank you in advance xxxxx
I ship you with... Ezra!
You’ve got some blond, just like our poetic friend here.
He loves it when you dye your hair. Brings a bit of light into the ship. Most of the time you’re waiting in the dark until you pass a moon or star.
Sometimes he doesn’t know what color your hair is until those moments. He looks forward to them.
Every prospector is at a crossroads with what to do with their life. Ezra tells you he planned on becoming an English teacher at one point or another...
As adept as he is at speaking his mother tongue, learning other languages was never something he picked up.
When you tell him that you know a few ancient languages from the blue marble, he is more than elated to learn some phrases to pass the time in the freighter.
If you’re insecure about your own capabilities, Ezra can’t help but empathize. Now without his right hand... well, hand, he’s had a difficult time doing even basic tasks. When you first met him, Ezra struck a deal with you. If he taught you how to survive on the Green, you would help him perform the tasks he was once able to do with ease, and maybe teach him more... español.
That old tape of Charlie’s Angels you scrapped has almost been completely worn out from the amount of times you and Ezra have watched in the pod.
History is so complicated, but you’re an informal expert. When Ezra has trouble sleeping at night, terrors of the Green invading his mind, you let him rest his hand in your lap, and you tell him stories about a man named Napoleon who took over a continent and the pirate queen of seas.
You want to travel? Well, it is in the job description. You travel to a new planet every other month, Ezra by your side. He’s been to more planets than you—been at the prospecting game longer—so he tells you stories about all the places he’s seen. One night, he promises you he’ll show them all to you.
Messy? Uh, just the norm at this point. It’s fine though. Ezra knows where everything is in what he calls the “organized disarray.”
Kids. Ezra hadn’t really thought about having kids... His life is no life for children, so he doesn’t really bat an eye when you say you don’t want kids. Just life on the Green for you.
The small pod is really bland, but when you start collecting plants from foreign planets, Ezra loves how lush and effervescent the atmosphere in your small living space has become. He appreciates your efforts to add more color into the ship vey much.
Ezra is pretty much everything you were looking for minus one arm (not that you mind). He’s understanding, silly, eager to do new things, and always ecstatic to learn new things.
Fun fact: Ezra likes your aesthetic.

The color of your eyes
Summary: Catelyn Tully has been dating Brandon Stark for months and she’s never seen even a hint of any color. Then one day he invites her to have dinner with his family and when the door to the the Stark house opens her world suddenly explodes with colors.
This was just a quick something I wrote for fun in like an hour and can’t get myself to edit. So there are probably a lot of mistakes and stuff since it’s not edited at all. But I hope it’s worth reading anyway. 
***
Catelyn
For as long as she could remember she had known that the moment you looked into your soulmate’s eyes you would see the world in color. But everyone had got it wrong, the colors would come when you truly came to love your soulmate deeply. That was the way of it. That was at least what Catelyn told herself. That when she really fell in love with Brandon the colors would come. But she was starting to get desperate. She loved Brandon, she really did. But she saw no colors, everything was just black and white and grey. And every night when she went to sleep she hoped for that she would open her eyes the next morning and finally see what all the colors looked like. Every time Cersei showed her a new dress and talked about what a pretty shade of red it was Catelyn just nodded without a word. She had no idea about what red looked like, but no one knew that. She had told everyone that she did see colors because Brandon was her soulmate, wasn’t he? One day he had said to her that he saw colors and that it was because of her, and she had looked at him and found that she couldn’t tell him that she didn’t. Because if she was his soulmate he had to be hers, right? So she had forced a smile upon her face and told him that she saw colors too, that the world was so beautiful. It had been months since that and still she saw nothing. The lack of colors in her life was slowly destroying her from the inside. She just wanted to know what red looked like. She had been told her that her eyes were blue, she wanted to know what that meant. But she went on with her life despite not knowing what color the grass was, fueled herself with the hope of that maybe the next day she would know what color her notebook was. Maybe the next time she saw Brandon she would know what color the sky was.
One Friday night she sat alone in the sofa in her small apartment and watched something stupid on the TV just to pass time. Brandon had told her that he had something important to do and all of her friends were out of town over the weekend. So sitcoms and a bowl of popcorn had been her company. And as she watched the screen and silently wondered what the colors were Brandon just barged into the room. Catelyn had to use all her control so that she wouldn’t scream, hells, was her heart still beating?
“You can’t do that!” she said angrily. “I’ve told you to at least knock before you come in!”
“Sorry, babe” he said and grinned.
He was very pretty. Even in black and white he was handsome. She was so lucky to be his girlfriend, she was reminded almost every day. And he made her laugh, he made her feel so good. But she still saw no colors. Maybe there was something wrong with her, maybe she wasn’t able to see colors because she wasn’t normal. Brandon was her soulmate, why couldn’t she see what color his shirt was? Would she live the rest go her life in black and white? 
“It’s fine” she said and smiled.
He sat down next to her on the sofa and laid an arm around her. She leaned against him, felt the disappointment fill her. No colors that time either. Just more black and white. She hated black and white. She was so tired of them.
“Cat, I want you to meet my family” Brandon said suddenly.
“Oh, uhm... I would love to meet your family.”
The question had caught her off guard. She didn’t feel like Brandon really was the guy to take a girl to meet his family. But she was his soulmate, of course he wanted them to meet his soulmate. 
“My parents invited us over for dinner tomorrow. My siblings will be there too” he said.
“Great!” 
She tried to be cheerful, tried to be happy about that Brandon wanted her to meet his family. But she only felt terrified. Once she had met his family it would be so official. It would really be them. Maybe for the rest of her life. What if she never saw colors because she didn’t love him enough? Was it her own fault that she couldn’t see colors? She had to stop thinking, her thoughts were spiraling out of control. She was just going to meet Brandon’s parents, and it would be fine. It would be nice to meet his parents.
“You don’t need to worry” Brandon laughed. “They’re very nice, I promise.”
“I’m sure they are.”
***
Brandon talked non-stop the whole ride to his parents’s house, so Catelyn didn’t have to. And it was honestly quite nice, she was so nervous that she didn’t know if she would be able to get out words. The feeling got even worse when they stopped the car outside a big house on a quite nice street. And when they walked up to the door and Brandon rang the doorbell she almost told him that she was feeling sick and that he had to drive her home again. She wasn’t ready to have dinner with his family, but she had came too long to call it quits, she had to follow through. And even though she believed that it couldn’t get any worse it did in a way get worse when the door opened.
He didn’t look a lot like Brandon. He was shorter, his face was plainer. But she had never felt a feeling more wonderful than the feeling that filled her when he met her eyes. His eyes were grey, but not like grey had looked like before, it was a new grey, a prettier grey. And his hair was brown and hung down ot his shoulders. She didn’t know how she knew that that color was brown, she just knew. The flannel shirt he wore over a plain white shirt was blue. Blue was a very pretty color, she realized. She really liked blue, but not as much as she liked the shade of grey on the man’s eyes. It was beautiful. And to Catelyn the man was beautiful. 
She stumbled backwards a step and drew in a sharp breath, but didn’t look away from the man in the doorway. She didn’t know if she was able to. And he stared back at her, his lips slightly parted. Did he see colors for the first time ever too? Or was he just weirded out by how she stared at him? Was that man her soulmate? Was she his soulmate? Had she just been living a lie? What was happening to her?
“Have you met before?” Brandon asked confused after a moment of silence.
“Uhm, no” Catelyn said and shook her head slightly as she tried to get herself back together.
When she looked at Brandon she saw that his hair was the same shade of brown as the man in the doorway’s. But his eyes were a different grey. She liked the other shade of grey better. Why? Didn’t she love Brandon? She did, she knew that she loved Brandon. She didn’t even know the man in the doorway. But she had met his eyes and suddenly she saw all the colors of the world.
The man in the doorway, the man who seemed to be her soulmate, held out a hand towards her. 
“My name is Ned” he said.
Ned. Brandon had not talked much about him. They were very different, from what she had understood.
She smiled.
“I'm Catelyn” she said and shook his hand. “It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
His hand was very warm and suddenly Catelyn became aware of how cold her hands were.
“The pleasure is all mine” he replied.
His voice is quiet, but shocked. He must have had the same experience as she had just had. He must have looked into her eyes and suddenly seen what color they were. What were they going to do? What was she supposed to say? She had met her soulmate, but there was a little problem. Her soulmate was her boyfriend’s brother. And she had told Brandon that she saw colors because of him, as far as he knew she had been seeing colors for months. Holy fuck, she was in a messy situation, there were no doubts about that. In some way she had to break up with Brandon, despite being Brandon’s soulmate, he had told her that she was his soulmate. But he wasn’t hers. How did that even work? Had the universe just screwed Brandon over? Well, in some way she had to talk to Ned. She would have to figure out a way to talk to him without Brandon around. Because he was the person that Catelyn was supposed to spend her life with, not Brandon.
“Come in” Ned said and stepped aside so that Catelyn and Brandon could go inside.
Catelyn glanced at Ned as she walked past him and their eyes locked once more. She quickly looked away, didn’t know what to do or how to feel. Fucking hell, what was she going to do? 
Ned
Brandon was bringing another girl home to meet them. Ned had stopped caring a couple of ones back, no one lasted. Every time his mother insisted on that the one would come eventually, that one day Brandon would bring home his future wife. As if he didn’t know that the girls he was bringing were not his soulmates. You knew when you met your soulmate, not even Brandon would be stupid enough to not realize the difference between black and white and colors. Brandon knew fully well that he was just taking a girl home despite the fact that their relationship wouldn’t last. Ned had promised himself that he wouldn’t let his family meet anyone until it was his soulmate. Until he had met the girl that made him see colors. Because Ned’s world was miserably black and white.
The doorbell rang, but no one opened the door. So that fell on Ned. He walked out into the hall and opened the door. Outside was Brandon and next to him stood a woman. He met the woman’s eyes. 
And suddenly he saw that they were blue. It was the only color Ned had ever seen, but he immediately knew that it was the most beautiful color in the world. He changed his mind a second later though, when he saw her hair. He decided that that red was the most beautiful color in the world. Or maybe it was the shade of pink on her lips. Perhaps it was the slight blush on her cheeks from the cold. In the end he decided that blue was the prettiest color, the blue of her eyes. She was beautiful. And his brother’s girlfriend. And Ned’s soulmate. Oh fuck. 
She stumbled backward and inhaled sharply, but she still looked at him. And he looked at her, couldn’t tear his eyes away from her. The shock on her face was as clear as day. Was she seeing colors for the first time too? Was he her soulmate? 
“Have you met before?” Brandon asked and looked at the woman.
Ned believed that he would have known if he had met the woman before.
“Uhm, no” the woman said and shook her head.
She looked up at Brandon as if she was seeing him for the first time all over again. Well, if she had experienced the same thing as Ned had, she was in a way seeing Brandon for the first time. Was she amazed by how handsome Brandon was? Was she disappointed by that Ned was her soulmate? He knew that he wasn’t as handsome as Brandon, nor as charming. Brandon had always been the one to get all the girls. Ned would have understood if the woman was disappointed by that Ned was the person she was supposed to spend her life with. Was Ned even her soulmate? He had to be, because she was his. And she wouldn’t have reacted so much by just seeing a new person, would she? Maybe it was a good idea to ask for her name, introduce himself. 
“My name is Ned” he said and stretched out a hand towards her.
She smiled. A smile so beautiful that it put the stars to shame.
“I’m Catelyn” she said and shook his hand. “It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
Her hand was so cold that Ned almost got a second shock. How was it even possible to have that cold hands?
“The pleasure is all mine” he heard himself say.
He had never known a greater pleasure than seeing Catelyn. The feeling when their eyes had met, it was the best thing Ned had ever felt. And he didn’t even know Catelyn. Was he supposed to say something more? He would have to do something eventually. But what? Catelyn was his soulmate, but she was together with Brandon. How was Ned going to talk with her about what had just happened when Brandon was there? They couldn’t talk with Brandon around. But she would leave after the dinner, together with Brandon. Maybe he would never see her again, he didn’t know a thing about her. He couldn’t just let her go, she was the person that Ned was supposed to spend his life together with. 
“Come in” he said and stepped aside so that they could come inside.
That was all he could think of. He had to let them inside, he would have to work something out during the evening.
When Catelyn walked past him their eyes met again and he was once more struck by how beautiful they were. But she quickly looked away again, as if though she had been burned. Did she hate it? Would she rather see everything in black and white than in colors because of Ned. He knew that he was probably ridiculous, why would Catelyn hate him? They didn’t even know each other. It was just that why would any woman want him when she could have Brandon? Everyone had always preferred Brandon.
He closed the door and watched silently as Brandon and Catelyn took of their jackets and shoes. Brandon got finished quicker than Catelyn and he immediately walked out into the living room. Ned was about to follow him when Catelyn grabbed his arm. Her long fingers were so cold that he could feel it through his clothes, the poor woman.
“The same thing just happened to us, right?” she said in a low voice.
When he looked at her his words got stuck in his throat. She was so breathtakingly beautiful. Why would she ever want someone so average as Ned?
“I think so” he managed to say after a few seconds.
“Well, how are we going to do this?”
Her eyes never wavered from his, she looked straight at him. 
“’This’?” he asked confused.
“We are soulmates.”
“But you are dating my brother” Ned said.
“That’s a bit of a problem, isn’t it?” she said. “It would be good to talk in private.”
“Yes” he agreed.
She let go of his arm, walked over to her bag and searched it for a moment. Then she fished out a pen and a receipt. She quickly scribbled something down on the receipt and handed it to him.
“Text me” she said and smiled.
Then she followed Brandon without looking back at Ned. He looked down at the receipt and saw a phone number. She had told him to text her. She couldn't dislike the whole situation too much then, could she? If she wanted to talk with him alone. And she had smiled at him. Ned’s heart fluttered when he thought of it. Maybe everything would turn out fine in the end after all.

I'm not sure if youre okay with these kinds of requests so if you don't wanna write it its okay! And I'm sorry if you're uncomfortable with it and I just don't know but, would you write a scenario about how Bokuto, Akaashi, and Iwaizumi would react to finding out their fem s/o has self harm scars? Like they're healed and she's recovered but she still has a lot of the old scars and she's insecure about them and trying to hide them from him?
of course this is a sensitive topic - but i relate to this situation all too well, so i honestly wanted to write about it. cuz yaknow, i write about my struggles, it’s kind of my thing.
*** TRIGGER WARNING *** for mentions of self harm/scars - but there are no descriptions of the act, nor any direct references to doing it. it is not graphic, there are only mentions. 
please, if reading these scenarios could be triggering for you, skip out on them. just in case:
here’s a link to a happier scenario, a funnier scenario, a sweet scenario, and a long read if you just need a distraction. 
i try to keep my blog a safe space, and if you’re struggling with a similar situation, i’m rooting for you. never be afraid to reach out to a friend, a family member, or even me for support.  
thank you for requesting! and again, remember, i’m rooting for you. the scenarios are all under “keep reading.” 
akaashi keiji 
Well, you knew this would happen eventually. You had gotten out of it so many times before that you used up every excuse in the book. So by now, your friends and your boyfriend wouldn’t let you get out of it.
You had a hard time swimming - wearing a swimsuit only induced your anxieties. It felt like everyone was watching you - everyone could see the proof of you past struggles carved on your skin. 
You weren’t ashamed of your scars - in fact, most of the time you forgot that you even had them. By now, you had come to terms with them. 
But you couldn’t handle the probing questions that were thrown at you - rather, the possibility of the questions. You’d never let other people see them, so they couldn’t even get the chance to stare, to wonder, to judge. 
While you stood in front of the mirror, wearing the swimsuit your boyfriend bought for you, you couldn’t stop thinking about the questions your friends would ask you. 
What happened to you?
Why would you do that to yourself?
How’d you do it?
Why would you show those off? 
You were terrified. You couldn’t handle the looks, much less the judgement. 
But Akaashi was waiting outside the door, waiting for you to step out and show him your bathing suit. You were sure he was expecting to see a sight he’d like; to see a girl who was excited to spend time with him and his friends. But it was the opposite. 
Still - he was the only one whose judgement you didn’t fear. And right now, you needed his support more than anything. 
“Keiji,” you called, and he replied immediately. 
“Yeah?” 
With a towel wrapped around your body, you said, “Can you come in here?” 
He opened the door slowly and greeted you with a smile, despite your teary eyes. 
“I can’t go.”  
“Why not? Let’s talk it out, kitten, what’s bothering you?” 
You shook your head, “I just - I don’t want anyone to see.” 
“I’m sure you look amazing,” he replied, his sweet smile never faltering. You appreciated it, but your nerves were still running rampid. 
“Can I show you?” you asked him, holding onto the towel as if it was your lifeline.
“Yeah, of course.” 
You definitely took your time taking the towel off. You wanted to warn him but you couldn’t find your voice - instead, you just let the towel fall to the ground. 
He didn’t reply immediately - he looked you up and down, genuinely enjoying the sight, while you didn’t let yourself look at him. 
“You look perfect,” he told you, sliding his hand into yours. “I understand why you’re hesitant, though.” 
“Yeah?” 
“Yeah,” he replied. “But they… your scars, I mean - they look fine, kitten. I’m sure none of our friends will give them a second glance.” 
“Are you sure?” you asked, shaking your head. “They’re going to ask so many questions -” 
“Well, if they do, just let me handle it for you, okay? And I’ll just tell them the truth,” he wrapped his arms around your waist before continuing. “That our Edward Scissorhands roleplay gets gruesome.” 
Both of you laughed, immediately lifting your mood. 
“Will you really tell them that?” 
“I’ll tell them whatever you want me to,” he replied. “But you - you don’t have to tell them a thing. I’ll make sure you can have fun, alright?” 
Without Keiji by your side, you’d never be able to even think about leaving that room wearing a swimsuit. But it’s because of him that you found the courage to do it - and you were determined to have a good time, despite your scars. 
bokuto koutaro 
It was so intense - Bokuto’s body felt quite heavy on top of yours, and you were feeling every inch of him. From his tongue in your mouth to your hands in his shirt to his entire lower half pressed firmly against yours - there was nothing else on your mind but him. 
So much so that you couldn’t remember to tell him to turn off the light - hell, you didn’t even remember that there were things you didn’t want him to see. 
It wasn’t until he had already stripped you of everything, when you felt the cool air hit your thighs, that you remembered those lines embedded on your skin - those embarrassing reminders of who you used to be. 
“Koutarou -” 
And usually you wouldn’t even care to let someone see them. You’ve had one night stands and it didn’t matter to you whether or not those guys saw your skin so up close. You’d wear shorts during summer and show them off to any stranger walking by - because none of those people mattered. 
But the man who was hovering over you, who was kissing you and stripping you and pleasuring you, you loved him. Your entire body craved his touch, your heart yearned for his love, your soul was hell bent on being entwined with his. 
Would this take him away? Would your god awful past scare him off, would your old habits come back to haunt you? 
You grabbed his face and held it in place above yours and hoped he didn’t see - you were praying, as his beautiful eyes were staring at yours, that he wasn’t able to catch a glance. 
But you knew. From the way his golden eyes were becoming so glossy, you could tell. 
“Are those… what I think they are?” 
“Koutarou…” 
It was over. The love you shared with this beautiful man was going to be taken away - he finally saw you. The broken parts of you. And you were sure - no, you were positive - that someone as absolutely perfect as the man you so luckily fell in love with did not deserve someone broken and scarred and haunted.
Your hands still rested on his cheeks, and right as you were about to drop them - to let him pull away from you - his face dropped to your neck. 
“Thank god,” he sighed. “I’m so happy.” 
Immediately your eyebrows drew together. “What?” 
“No, wait - I didn’t mean it like that! Hold on, um…” 
He fumbled to pull his shorts off, trying to stand up and take off the garment at the same time. And when he successfully did those things, the only thing you saw was the outline of something big in his tight underwear - is this what he’s trying to show you?
With a deep breath he hooked his thumbs into his underwear and pulled them down, low enough to reveal his hips.
And what you saw was something you never expected to see on him. 
“I was scared you’d react like my last girlfriend… and the one before that…” 
Decorating his hips were messy white lines - jagged, rough, prominent. They were much like your own. 
“You… you understand, don’t you?” 
If you didn’t know the struggle with self harm as well as you did, you would’ve called this a heartbreaking sight. Even still, your eyes wanted to tear up. 
When you nodded, he took his place hovering over you again. 
“I knew you would,” he said with a smile. “I’m so glad you understand - and I understand, too. I love you - I love you so much, Y/N.” 
Even after seeing that part of him, you believed he was perfect. Everything about Bokuto was perfect to you, those unfortunate scars included. And it dawned on you that it was possible - in fact, it was very likely - that he saw you in the same way. 
“I love you too, Kou.”
iwaizumi hajime 
“Can I… talk to you?” 
“Mhm, sure,” Iwaizumi replied. He didn’t look up from the textbook he was reading, though - maybe your nerves weren’t all that evident in your voice. 
So now’s your chance to back out - but if you don’t do this now, you never would. 
“…Iwa?” 
He heard you that time - really heard you. You could tell from the way his eyes immediately darted up to you. 
The boy moved from his seat at his desk to his bed where you sat, and he made himself comfortable sitting in front of you. He tried to take your hand into his, but you quickly crossed your arms over your chest. 
He realized that something may actually be wrong - he knows you guys haven’t been dating for very long, but the last month has been filled with the best days of his life because of you. And Iwaizumi was sure he hadn’t done something wrong - at least, he thought he was sure. 
But rather than spiraling into his anxieties, he would much rather hear you out. 
You were trying your hardest to make this a casual conversation - according to all the research you’d been doing, you decided that was the best for you. You didn’t want to make this a big deal because it wasn’t one - not to you, anyway. You hoped Hajime wouldn’t see it as a big deal, either. 
So you gave him a forced smile, hoping to lighten the mood and make this feel easier for you. But it didn’t help all that much. 
“You okay?” 
“Yeah,” you nodded. “I just wanted to tell you about something.” 
“Okay, well. Tell me.” 
He sat with criss-crossed legs to mimic the way you sat, letting his hands rest on your knees.
“Take your time, baby.” 
“Okay, so…” 
You took a deep breath, remembering what all the articles and reddit threads said. 
“So, remember, um… a few nights ago, when we were in your car and… and we were making out and then we… you know…” 
“…yeah, I remember,” he replied, his face flushed. “That was okay, right?” 
“Yeah, yeah,” you nodded. “But… So, I know that we’ll… probably go farther, right? Like… more than just touching over our clothes?” 
“Hopefully… what are you getting at, babe?” 
“I just - I want to tell you now, so that you aren’t… surprised, you know, when we finally… I dunno, do more…” 
How should you word this? Are you going to scare him off? Is he even going to care?
“It’s just, a while ago I was going through some things and… and I didn’t have the best way of coping with it… so I have a lot of scars. A-And I’m okay now! I don’t… do that anymore, so you shouldn’t worry - I don’t want you to worry - I’ll just… feel better if I tell you.” 
“Okay… is that all you have to say, babe?” 
You swallowed hard and finally mustered up the courage to look at him as you nodded. 
“Okay, well… you know it’s okay, right? I don’t mind your scars or anything like that - they’re apart of you, and I like everything about you. I’m really glad you told me.” 
You knew he’d be understanding - but to hear him say that made you feel so validated and comfortable. 
“I’m glad I told you, too.”

I feel so sad!
John b x reader. With a little bit of ex Rafe x reader.
So I was listening to the song You should be sad by Halsey. I’m lowkey obsessed with it & I immediately thought about this blurb idea. So the reader was with Rafe, they had a really toxic relationship & she ran away. John b saves her & puts her back together. Obviously Halsey wrote this amazing song but just for the sake of the fic, the (Y/n) character writes it. Alright I hope y’all like this because it was really fun to write. Love yall💜
It’d been 3 months since you’d ran away from everything kook related. 3 months that a certain messy haired brunette pogue had spent trying to piece your heart back together. 3 months since you ended the most toxic relationship you’ve ever had in your life. You sat on the log, curled up against John B in front of the nightly fire y’all had at the chateau. On your other side was Kie, smiling happily at you, & across the fire, JJ & Pope goofed off. These were your people now. They’d put you back together when it seemed impossible that all the pieces would ever fit right again. JJ made some stupid joke & everyone just groaned but I couldn’t help but laugh. He jumped up & ran over to me to high five me! He threw his hand up in the air a little too close to me & my body automatically flinched. My heart started to race & my vision started to go fuzzy. I ran inside, desperately trying to get air into my lungs. I raced into the bathroom, jumping in the shower & turning the water on. I sank to the floor of the shower, all my clothes still on. I sat there with my knees up to my chest & my arms curled around them, trying to keep myself from breaking. I heard footsteps & a deep sigh that I knew belonged to my boyfriend. I felt John B step into the shower behind me, sitting down with his legs on either side of me & leaning up so his head was resting on my back. “Baby, breathe. You are safe. You aren’t with Rafe anymore, no one will ever touch you again. I will always protect you” he whispered slowly drawing words on my back. He sat there drawing random shapes as the water soaked ya both. “Let’s play a game...guess what I’m writing” he then drew what felt like 12 letters. “J” I guessed for the first letter. “Yes!” He replied...we went on like that until I figured it out. “JJ is a dumbass? Really John B?” I let out a small laugh. “Okay next one” John B said as he started drawing his fingertip along the sopping wet back of my shirt. “I love you” I guessed once he’d finished the last letter. He pulled me back against him & I felt some of the tension leave my body. “Yes. & I’ll never stop loving you. I will always be the best I can for you, I’ll never let you go through what you went through before” he stated, pressing a kiss to my cheek. “I love you John B. So much” I said turning & giving him a long kiss, hoping that he could feel just how much I needed him.
The next day, I was sitting on the kitchen counter watching John B make pancakes. My gaze kept drifting out the window to the calm water. Last night had stirred up some memories that were hard to deal with. Poor John B had been up half the night trying to soothe me back to sleep from my stupid nightmares. “Hey babe” John b said pulling my attention back to him. “Yeah baby, what’s up?” I asked smiling at him. “If you’re getting overwhelmed with stuff from the past, maybe you should write about it” he offered, looking back to the pan to flip the pancake. John b knew that I loved writing. It helped me get everything out. I wouldn’t call myself a song writer but I did love taking things that I’d been through & putting them into lyrics that maybe other people could relate to. If I could just help one person get through something, it’d be making a difference & that was all that I wanted. I jumped down & went to hug him from the back. I rested my head against his warm skin & just enjoyed the feeling of having John B in my arms. “That’s a good idea!” I said pressing a quick kiss to his back. “Good! Because I already texted Kie & she’s bringing her ukulele over to help” he said spinning around & swatting me on the butt with the spatula. I stood on my tip toes & pressed my lips to his as he pulled me into him. “You really are the best” I breathed out.
Kie & I sat in the hammock together, legs intertwined. She had her ukulele in her lap & I had my lyric book in mine. She reached over & pulled my pencil from behind my ear, & slid it into my hand. “Get to writing sister, I need to hear what these lyrics sound like before I can come up with a melody. Also, I’m sorry about JJ last night. He didn’t know your history with Rafe & pope chewed his ass pretty good about it.” She said as she laughed loudly. “It’s fine Kie. I just, I know what I want to say...I guess it’s just putting it into actual words is hard. Like I’m not conflicted, I’m 100% over Rafe, I just feel like none of his friends will tell him the truth. They won’t tell him that he’s turned into this monster & I feel like maybe if someone would just be honest with him, maybe he could change & find happiness in his life like I have with John B” I smiled toward the dock where John B was cleaning out the HMS Pogue. “Start there then!” Kie replied. & I did. My mind drifted back...
“Rafe, you’ve got to stop with the drugs. I can help you! You aren’t you anymo-“ I was cut off my his hand grabbing my throat & shoving me back against the wall. “Don’t tell me what I’ve got to do bitch” he snarled. His eyes were dark & pupils so dilated that I didnt even see the man that I’d grown to care about anymore. “I NEED the money, the drugs, the nice cars...I don’t need you. So you better watch the way you’re talking to me” he said, finally releasing my throat. I sank to the floor rubbing my neck where I knew bruises would form later. I took a deep breath & stood up. “I won’t do this anymore. You’ve broken me enough. You are toxic & I’m done. I’m gone & don’t you dare try to find me” I took one final look at the monster he’d become & walked away.
Kie watched as I stared off, my eyes tearing up. I felt her grab my hand & squeeze, just letting me know she was there. “I know what to write!” I said quickly scribbling down everything I wanted to say.
“I wanna start this out and say
I gotta get it off my chest
Got no anger, got no malice
Just a little bit of regret
Know nobody else will tell you
So there's some things I gotta say
Gonna jot it down and then get it out
And then I'll be on my way
No, you're not half the man you think that you are
And you can't fill the hole inside of you with money, drugs and cars
I'm so glad I never ever had a baby with you
'Cause you can't love nothin' unless there's somethin' in it for you
Oh, I feel so sorry
I feel so sad
I tried to help you
It just made you mad
And I had no warnin'
About who you are
I'm just glad I made it out without breakin' down
And then ran so fuckin' far
That you would never ever touch me again
Won't see your alligator tears
'Cause, no, I've had enough…”
Kie leaned over eyes scanning over what I’d written. “(Y/N) this is good. No, it’s amazing. I mean, I don’t even know what to say” she said hugging me tightly. “Thanks for always being there Kie” I said, leaning my head on her shoulder as the hug ended. “Now let’s get to work on this melody!”
A month passed & id been hired to play at midsummers. JJ had heard the song Kie & I came up with at the chateau & while working one day, he heard about talent tryouts to play at midsummers. He relayed the message & Kie & I went & tried out. Apparently they liked us because we were one of the acts that were hired to play. Everything went so fast & suddenly, it was a couple hours before midsummers was supposed to start. I stood in John B’s room, sliding on the dress that I’d gotten. It was a deep vneck off white dress with silver beading. John B walked in & wrapped his arms around me, looking at our reflection in the mirror. “You are so beautiful baby. You are going to be amazing tonight” I smiled at his reflection. “Are you sure you & JJ can pull off sneaking in as waiters?” I questioned. “Of course sweetheart, we are total badassea at going incognito” he said smirking. I turned around, wrapping my arms around his neck. “Good. I don’t think I could get through tonight without you” I whispered. He leaned down & brought his lips to mine. “You’ll never have to go through anything without me” he said squeezing my hips, pulling me closer to him & refusing to let me go until it was time to leave.
The lights facing the stage were blinding. I felt way too many eyes on me & way too many kooks judging me. Kie nudged my arm, smiling over at me & started to play. I put every ounce of emotion that I had into that performance. All the sadness from an ended relationship, & all the hope that I had that one day Rafe would find happiness. He & I were never meant to be, I understood that now. I just wanted him to get the help he needed. A single tear slipped down my face as I sang the last line. I wiped it away, grabbing Kies hand & bowing as the crowd cheered. I scanned the crowd to see Pope, JJ, & John B cheering in the back! “That’s my girl!” John b hollered. Security saw him & started making their way over. “Shit. Come on guys! Mandatory pogue meeting at the chateau!” JJ yelled. Kie ran to JJ as he spun her around & she then threw her arms around JJ & Pope. “Cmon baby!” John b yelled. I yanked up the bottom of my dress, kicked off my heels, grabbing them off the ground & took off running....Launching myself into his waiting arms. He kissed me long & hard. “Time to go!” He said pulling my hand & dancing away right as the pissed off security guard dove at us. I threw my head back laughing as John B bent down & I jumped on his back. He carried me all the way to the waiting HMS Pogue & we all rode off into the night.
Rafe stood in silence staring after the girl he had lost. He knew he’d done everything wrong in the relationship. Maybe she was right. Maybe the drugs couldn’t fill the hole he had inside. He decided then & there that he would get clean. He would fix things with his dad. He finally had closure, & maybe one day, he would find the love that he knew she had found.

My back is really hurty right now but today was a really nice day. Just long and rainy.
I was very tired last night. I'm very tired today. But it's all right. I slept okay last night. I woke up with James's alarm around 6 and fell back asleep until 7. He was gone when I woke up. He had gone to his parents house to get the car to get the last couple things for my other apartment. The plan now is for me to go on Saturday and Sunday and clean. Trying to make it as nice as possible. Then we will go in with are U-Haul when he has a day off. And get my bed and my bookshelf. I'm still stressed out about it all but it's fine. I think I'm going to bring some cleaning stuff and trash bags and things like that over this weekend. Try to just do as much as possible.
I felt okay when I got up. It wasn't thrilled about being awake. Are going to work but I had some positive feelings for the guy. Last night at around 10 p.m. Tiffany called me and asked if I would feel okay leading the older kids science class. And honestly that's what I thought we were doing from the beginning so I was fine with that. I left here around 7:40 and went down to the bus stop.
I got to work at 8:15 and went upstairs and sorry it's setting things up. My fabric was missing but I found it underneath I dropped off. No idea why it was there. It's all good. Set up and then I went to talk to Edina about changing the stem project. And then I went to go talk to Tiffany about the schedule. Because one of the reasons I am leaving stem is so that a Dina can see how the project should go. So having her do stem first doesn't make any sense.
But after some phone calls and stuff we were able to work that out and I got the schedule and I want it. My art is the same. Then we have reading lunch and recess. And then I go to stem with the older kids. While the little kids go to book arts. And then the little kids come to stem and then the older kids go to book Arts. And that worked really well. Today was so much more chill than it has been and it was great.
I set up some stuff for science. Mixed up watercolor paint in bottles. Made some examples. We were doing sneeze art. And it was very silly. But we started the day with some annoyances because I am very much all about organized chaos. And one of my kids ask to go to the bathroom while we were at breakfast and I told him to go ahead and he ran out the door like a first grader will do. And the new principal admonished me and Marcus for not watching our kids. And it was just very rude and the very first interaction I've ever had with this woman who has not introduced yourself to us yet. So I just felt some kind of way. But whatever. Hopefully she can redeem herself to me because so far is not looking good.
But besides that today was great. We went upstairs we did yoga. I did yoga with the little kids first and then went did with the big kids. With the big kids they also introduce some of my ballet stretches and that was really fun. Getting them to use their brains a little bit. Not all of them are participating but the ones that are I can tell her having a good time.
Art went really well. I was worried about Jeremiah for a while because he just did not understand that he was moving from beading to Patches. But really that was because yesterday he didn't actually do beading because he kept spilling the beads all over the place. But that's fine. He ended up sitting with our youth worker Trinity and he drew these little characters that he likes on a patch that we've been hot glued on. I was so proud of him I took that picture up there with him smiling all big. So sweet. I just wish that he would stop whining. That's my only thing that I cannot stand. We're working on it though.
Reading was great. We drew pictures on the computers of a book we've read recently. I drew some stuff from Flowers for Algernon. And then we talked about them and we had to have some conversations about critique and how you talk about other people's work. Even if you don't like it. You have to be kind. I doubt with some little kid tears but everything was okay. We were having fun.
Lunch and recess we're fine. I think I'm supposed to be having my break during recess now but that's very early for me and I don't want to have my break then so I just didn't. I stayed outside and just chilled. Then we went inside for stem.
It was very confusing for the kids because they had to go into a different room that they've been used to for the last 2 weeks. But we got everybody in the right place and then I had to take it sit down and I kind of gave them a mini introduction on myself and explain what we were going to do and my expectations for them. That if they did the project they would get free time. It's an incentive and honestly they need it. It's summer camp it's not school they should be able to have free time. Especially because I just read that article last night about how not having free play and free time outside of a structured adult activity is really detrimental for your kids and their ability to self soothe and self direct. They need to be able to learn how to do that. So it's very important for me to figure out places in the day where they can have that.
And it worked out really well. They were loud. And they weren't always listening but we explained the project. We talked about how you sneeze at a hundred miles an hour and you cough at 50 miles an hour. And then we got our watercolor paper and are smocks and we went outside.
For both classes it works very well. But the little kids were actually better at it because Miss Adina only left a little kids Spritz their paper twice. And I let the big kids do it as much as they wanted. So some of the big kids ones fell apart because they were so wet. But they were having a really good time and they were color mixing and they were being messy and exploring the medium. And they were learning but it wasn't like a lot. It was just fun. And that's what I wanted. You're outside and it's too hot and so after about 15 minutes we went back in.
We all later artwork down put her smokes away I check back in with them make sure they understood the two facts that I thought them. And then I told them guys you did the project you get 20 minutes of free time. So they got their laptops out and they got their phones out and they were having a good old time. And then at the end we close the laptops and cleaned up and they said thank you Miss Jessie and they headed out. It was so much smoother than every other day I have experience seeing the older kids. It was great. I hope that we can keep that momentum.
For the second half. When I had two little kids do it. I stepped back. I let Adina handle that. I only said a couple things. They all were smocks. They got four colors instead of six colors. Mr. Marcus was there to help. We went outside and we all did our thing. The kids work was much nicer than the older kids. They weren't as wet. You actually saw the spray pattern. It was good. Had them bring them all upstairs we laid them out too dry. I'm going to hang them up tomorrow probably. And then we went in. We watched a video and it was nice. I had a good day.
We finish up the day with some snacks and some hanging out on our yoga mats. Took the ball downstairs to go home. Hung out on the hill until everyone was picked up. And I was able to leave at like 3:45.
The bus took a little while and it was really hot out. Just so heavy and humid. And that's because rain was coming. When I was getting off the bus it wasn't raining at. And when I got to my bike it wasn't raining yet. But about two blocks down the street it was starting to rain. At first it was just light. And I thought I would be able to make it home. But then it started to pour. Just absolutely downpouring on me. It felt nice but there was lightning and a lot of wind. The few other people I saw outside trying to get stuff together and run in for looking at me with the same Panic I'm sure was on my face. I was soaked to the skin. But it was just funny at that point. There was nothing else I could do so I just went upstairs and told James to take my off of the day photo. Because it was funny. And then I took a shower.
James to pick up pizza for dinner. He seeing Hamilton with his parents and sister tonight. Which is great because it's the anniversary of the Duel at Weehawken. That's amazing. I don't know if it was on purpose but it's great. So he hung out with me for an hour and then went to go have dinner with them. And I've just been hanging out at home.
I worked on my Furby project for a little while. I've been watching videos and playing with sweetpea. Sweetpea loves pipe cleaners so he was very excited about those. I painted my toenails and now I think I'm going to get up and maybe go do something but I have no idea what my eyebrows? Play with my makeup? Who knows!
Tomorrow is the last day of camp for the week. 5 days is very hard. I do not like working 8 hours. I love my job it's very easy. But it is still a lot. I don't think I was built to work eight hours a day. I am a baby. But it's going to be a good day. I'm slightly concerned about the project tomorrow because I'm not positive we have the right materials for it. But still going to be fun. And then me and James are going to go see to Apartments. It was nice. But they're both of Mount Vernon and we're both really kind of committed to moving to Bolton Hill now. So we'll see what happens we'll make it work. I'm excited to see places because it gives us some good perspective of what the other wants. We both are pretty sure we want the same things and we know what the other one likes but it's still fun. Even if we're not going to rent these ones.
Hope you guys all have a good night. I'm sending you all Good Vibes through the universe. Sleep well. Be safe. Try not to get rained on.
