Little Cat

Part 8

Larissa Weems part 7 | part 9 | ao3

A lot shorter than the other parts. Do for that I apologise, also for the lack of Larissa interaction in this part too. Harvest Festival date is next chapter tho! So pls forgive me

When you had placed your hand on Enid’s back you felt the nauseating sense of anxiety radiating from her. Your heart began to race unpleasantly - nothing like the way it fluttered when Larissa looked at you. Your throat felt tight and a horrible pit had nestled itself in your stomach. You felt shaky and the room was too bright despite the lights being off.

“Enid honey, what’s wrong?” You pressed.

“Wednesday- ” she’s cut off by her own crying.

You remain silent. Letting her collect her words.

“It’s hard!” Enid half sobs, half yells.

“What’s hard?” Your voice is much more docile.

“Knowing her!” The young girl’s voice is ebbed with anger this time. But you’re no fool, you can feel the sadness behind it.

“What’s happened?” You prompt her.

Your free period is spent with Enid as she just lets out all her frustrations about Wednesday. In the end it had boiled down to the girl's habit of pushing away her friends too much. You knew it was a defensive strategy on Wednesday's part, how far could she push her friends until they snapped - how unconditional was their friendship? That mindset and mistrust from Wednesday certainly took a toll on her friends, and herself too.

But there’s more to it you learn.

“I really like Wednesday,”

“Are you scared of liking someone more than a friend?”

“No, because I liked Ajax like that and that wasn’t scary,”

Enid looks at you and the water works begin. You let her cry onto your shoulder, as you just hold her.

“I don’t even know if I’m allowed to like girls and Wednesday doesn’t even like her friends and she might be disgusted that I like her cause she’s a girl and- ” Enid took a deep breath before continuing her onslaught, “I still like boys but I like girls too and I’m roommates with Wednesday so what if she wants to move out if- if she finds out I really don’t want to be on my own again and I’m confused because what if I never did like Ajax like that but I’m pretty certain I did because I liked kissing him but I also like the idea of kissing girls. But I’ve never felt like this for other girls it’s only Wednesday but I’ve liked plenty of guys so maybe I only like guys and Wednesday- ”

“Enid breathe!”

She quietens down and tries to take in air but sobs begin to bubble in her throat. You hold her face and coax her into taking deep breaths in time with you. Her current woes are very similar to those of your teen years. You’d been there, done that, and got the bloody t-shirt. It was never a pleasant journey.

Once you’re sure she’s calmed enough to listen. You start to speak.

“Don’t doubt the feelings you had for Ajax, your feelings for Wednesday don’t discount them, and neither do your feelings for Ajax lessen what you feel for Wednesday. You with me?”

She nods.

“Realising you like girls is… it’s scary, but it’s part of you,” you choose your next words carefully, “you might… explore your sexuality and find that maybe you don’t like girls and that Wednesday may have been an exception, or you might find you only like girls and not guys, or you might like both.

“Either way, all outcomes are normal, and your sexuality can change as you grow, it’s never set in stone. But you need to learn to accept that part of yourself.” You feel Enid relax a little.

“And trust your heart, your feelings are genuine, whatever you label yourself doesn’t stop your heart from feeling what it does for whoever it falls for.”

You spend the next twenty minutes listening to her worries and help her rationalise them and break them into smaller more manageable issues. By the time the bell rings she’s feeling better and you have a note excusing her absence from whatever class she skipped to be with you. You're thankful for having had a free period.

Just as Enid is about to leave she asks you if you liked girls. To which you give her a knowing smile. You can tell she has more questions to follow by the way her eyes light up but you shoo her out of your room and to her next class.

You won’t lie to yourself, you are exhausted by the end of the day. After Enid’s meltdown, you had to comfort a few other students throughout the day - you aren’t saying they were all burdens. You were immensely glad they felt comfortable enough to come to you but as an empath you didn’t just understand their feelings - you felt them too. In your case you seemed to be more susceptible to mirroring the more negative, less favourable emotions surrounding you. Often leaving you spent. And today would be a prime example.

So, once the clock struck 5pm you deemed it a socially acceptable time to crack out a bottle of rum and some coke to enjoy a few glasses with your dinner - a mish mash stir fry of whatever food you had in. You didn’t feel like doing a food shop, you’d do that tomorrow.

At some point you must have fallen asleep curled up on your couch with the tv playing some tacky soap opera. Because that’s how Bärchen found you, swaddled in a blanket still wearing your clothes with a half drunk glass sitting on the coffee table.

She shifted quickly in order to turn your tv off when she noticed a tattered notebook laying open - she didn’t want to pry, curiosity killed the cat.

But satisfaction brought it back.

And so she skimmed over the open page. It wasn’t a diary or at least not what you’d expect for a diary. Instead it was dated entries with names and feelings written beside them.

The top of the page read a date a few months ago, just before you would have started working at Nevermore. In your handwriting (which was very neat) you had scrawled out;

‘Otis - Anger, guilt, sadness

Mother - apathy’

The next entry was today's date and what you had written intrigued her much more.

‘Larissa - nerves, anxiety, love?

Enid Sinclair - fear, confusion, anxiety, upset (Wednesday?)

Martin Ackley - anger, frustration, sadness

Arthur Strauss - stress, loneliness, fear’

Today’s entry went on further but Larissa began to feel guilty and stopped reading. Seeing her name had alarm bells ringing in her brain. What did your notes even mean? Maybe you just used this book as a way of keeping track of those around you? The woman isn’t afforded more time to speculate because you shift on the sofa, readjusting yourself.

Larissa’s head snaps round to you shifting into Bärchen. As she climbs under the covers to wiggle into your arms (she notices how they seem to tighten around her) she banishes the thought and closes her eyes. Your shoulders seem to relax the slightest once she’s settled in.

One of Larissa’s odd talents is when she goes for a twenty minute nap, she’ll wake up twenty minutes later. Never in her life has she ever decided to get a few winks in and fallen asleep properly. So she decided to join you in dreamland. Larissa allowed herself a mere half an hour before she would have to leave and not once did her purring stop during those thirty minutes.

AN - once again a major thank you to all your support and love. 🥰🥰🥰

Hooooooooly crap your latest Azul fic is probably the most intense, jaw-dropping roller coaster ride I've ever been on. Like oh my gosh, starting it off with such a suspenseful scene was such a good way of getting the reader's attention- not to mention the spiral as to how it even gets to that point. The in-betweens were so fucking good!

Absolutely obsessed with the way you describe the scenery and the inner turmoil, like it's so poetic and just creates such a delicious imagery!! The fluffiness in the first vow was soooo tooth rottingly sweet- Like holy crap got me giggling and kicking my feet over here. I absolutely adore the way you wrote the mc, especially with how well she was at handling Azul's negativity and self-deprecation at the start. Just the way you're able to make the reader's feel the same way as the mc- I was SEETHING. The amount of times I got so frustrated with Azul- Especially with how he tried to get her to stop working, like dawg, she's doin' it cause she likes it, JUST LET HER HAVE THIS ONE THING

I was so glad when mc called it off when she did, cause ain't no way Azul was talking about some "You don't care for me as much if I'm healthy" LIKE WTF ARE YOU SAYING?? LITERALLY RIPPING MY PILLOW TO SHREDS RN

Aaaaaaa and oh my gosh the way mc just snaps- just says 'fuck it' and just lets everything out was so satisfying yet also so scary cause like- bro's definitely not gonna just accept that. Holy crap the bits of dialogue as he realizes mc was leaving- I can't. I'm not okay. Like the build up?? Like we know what's about to happen, but the way we see his perspective as it's about it happen- My mouth is agape. Eyes bulging out of skull- THAT WAS SUCH A GOOD SCENE!! Actual chills

Ending it on the hospital scene as his mentality just reverts back to how things were before her- Ugh... I can't- I can't function anymore. I have never been gagged so much by fanfic- like the life has been sucked out of me in the best way possible

Definitely will be re-reading, there's no way I could be fine with reading it only once

Such a satisfying conclusion too- like oh my gosh <3

OMG OMG THANK YOU!!!!! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH AAAAAAAAAAAA (≧◡≦) ♡

I wanted it to feel like a fic that suffocates you with sadness and emptiness while you're reading it, so opening with the aftermath of the murder felt appropriate! It sets such a haunting mood because you don't quite know why Azul did this or what happened for things to turn out this way (until you read the end of the fic), which only makes it more unsettling the further you read.

:D I'm so happy you enjoyed many aspects of the fic, especially the short-lived fluff in the beginning! I think that was my favorite part to write out of everything (although the hospital scene is a close second). Azul and Reader were so genuinely cute together in that scene. T_T if only it could be like that always...

And I'm especially happy you liked the way I wrote the reader's character here!!!! I wanted her to be more in tune with emotions than Azul is because it felt like a nice contrast to the very out-of-control, emotional Azul. She's honestly such a sweetheart who is just trying her best to be genuinely kind and loving despite the situation. Azul is so frustrating here, so the fact that Reader could remain patient and gentle throughout six entire years of their marriage... It felt satisfying to write her finally snapping at him, so I'm glad that was a scene you could enjoy! I liked switching perspectives partway through as the focus strays from the subject of Reader and her bringing up the divorce to Azul's disturbing behaviors as he begins to lose himself to his fears and insecurities. And then he just shuts off and tragedy ensues. >_< it's heartbreaking and scary and so many other unfortunate things!!!

And the hospital scene oooooo yes yes!!!!! Azul's psychology in this fic is so fascinating to me. He really did mean it when he said the reader was his world, so with her no longer in it his entire existence undergoes this drastic shift and suddenly he's not whole. He's lost a vital part of himself, the part that felt loved and appreciated, and so now he's back to floating through life with this lonesome emptiness and self-hatred. Now the world is small and devoid of color. Now it's just monochrome and cold.

Aaaaaaaa I loved writing him in this state of slow, uncertain delirium and the way he panics when the nurses won't answer his questions. I also greatly enjoyed writing him using the phrase "my wife" over and over because Reader is no longer just her own person to him. She's Azul's. His wife. And then there's also the symbolism in Azul killing Reader and knowing that no one else will have her ever again and that, because he got to take her life for himself, it will be no one else's. It's not even Reader's anymore.

Forgive my ramblings!!! I'm just very happy to know you liked the fic and that you will be reading it again!!!!! Thank you so much!!!!!! 💖

please don't go (eddie munson x fem!reader)

summary: you open up to eddie about the emotional scars left behind my your past relationships

pairings: eddie munson x reader (all parties involved are over 18)

wc: 1,565

warnings: angst (hurt/comfort), slight n*fw (kissing, dry humping, MINORS DNI), eddie being the best boyfriend ever :’)

important note: this fic has NOT been stolen! i, the original writer, am reposting this on my new blog as my previous blog (spiderl0rd) was wrongfully deleted. as always, reblogs and comments are appreciated! || requests are OPEN || divider by @firefly-graphics

CRASH!

you nearly jump out of your skin as another deafening clap of thunder shakes the walls of eddie’s trailer. you glance up to see the brunette staring glumly out the window at the storm, a torrential downpour seemingly coming out of nowhere.

disappointed, you flop face-first into his mattress, letting out a frustrated groan. “welp, there goes our plans for the day,” he mutters to himself. you had been looking forward to spending your rare day off out on the town with your boyfriend but the weather, it seemed, had other plans.

you feel the bed sink as he plops down on the bed next to you, “don’t fret, babydoll. we can still figure something out. after things dry off out there, what d’ya say we take the van out to the lake and have a little picnic?”

you turn your head to look at him, a slight pout on your lips, “okay…”

“aw, no need to be sad, angel. c’mere,” he says, scooting up towards his headboard before patting his bare chest, beckoning you towards him. you oblige, slowly crawling up towards him and laying your head directly above his heart. absentmindedly, you begin to trace his tattoos with your fingertips as you let your mind wander. you never quite understood why people thought that they made him look scary because they were genuinely one of your favorite things about him.

it was moments like these that you cherished the most: just you and him curled into one another as the rest of the world melts away. with eddie being your first real boyfriend, you still were learning how to navigate the whole relationship thing. eddie, however, made being with him so easy. every time he looks at you, you would have thought you’d hung the moon. to him, you were everything and more.

it honestly scared you how much you loved him. before getting together, you had dated around a bit and sure, there were guys that you liked and had chemistry with, but those turned out to be none other than wastes of time. none of them held a candle to your eddie. just being in the same room with him made you feel like your heart was going to beat out of your chest. you know that if you were to ever break up, it would absolutely ruin you.

noticing your pensive expression, he gently pokes you in the middle of your forehead before asking, “what’s going on in that brain of yours?”

you just mumble a quiet “nothing,” not really knowing how to put into words how you were feeling.

“hey, don’t do that,” he scolds, softly tilting your chin up to look at him, “you alright?”

you attempt to laugh off his concern, “eddie, i’m fine.” his eyes dance back and forth between your own looking for any indication as to what’s got you so quiet before speaking up again, “you sure?”

“positive.”

not quite convinced, he just nods, not wanting to press the issue any further and end up causing you to close yourself off completely. he’s only able to observe you for a second longer before you lean up to press your lips to his, in desperate need of a distraction from your own racing thoughts.

his resolve quickly crumbles away as he pulls you in closer by your waist, his other hand gingerly cupping your cheek.

you immediately deepened the kiss, allowing yourself to massage his tongue with your own. he grunts at this as he pulls you into his lap, wanting to be as close to you as humanly possible. you gasp into his mouth as you feel the evidence of his arousal.

he moves his hands down to your hips, grasping them firmly as he urges you to roll them over his own. his lips detach from your for a brief moment before he begins trailing kisses along your jaw, lips brushing your ear, “you’re so beautiful,” he whispers before continuing his descent down the column of your throat, licking, sucking, biting, desperate to leave his mark.

your breath hastened but not from the intensity of the kiss. you felt your blood run cold, goosebumps erupting on the surface of your skin. your heart was beating so loud that you could barely hear yourself think. you attempt to break apart but eddie simply groans and pulls you in closer, not noticing your panicked state. you place a hand on his chest to push him away, “eddie, stop, i can’t breathe.”

he finally gets the hint as you hurriedly climb off of his lap, scooting towards the end of the bed to hide your face in your hands, not wanting him to see the tears in your eyes that threatened to spill over.

“woah, woah, woah! baby, what happened? what’s going on?” he frantically asks, rushing to occupy the space next to you.

“nothing. i’m fine, okay? just… give me a minute.” you sigh, trying to gain your composure.

after a few moments of silence, you feel him cautiously place a hand on your thigh, rubbing soothing circles on the exposed skin. “y/n, can you please look at me?” you reluctantly lock eyes with him, hurt evident on his face. “what’s wrong?”

“noth-”

“-and don’t say ‘nothing’ because there’s obviously something very wrong.”

your mouth snaps shut as you mull over how to approach this conversation. he scoots closer to you, draping a comforting arm around your shoulders. he relaxes a bit when you show no signs of wanting to move away.

“please don’t shut me out. i want you to feel like you can talk to me. i want to be able to help you with whatever it is you’re dealing with. i can’t do that if you don’t let me in. please, let me in sweetheart.”

he’s right. you know that in order for you to take the next step in your relationship you have to allow yourself to be more open and vulnerable, regardless of how terrifying that may be. you release a shaky breath before nodding. here goes nothing…

“it’s not that i don’t want to be with you in that way, trust me when i say you have no idea just how badly i do. i’m just…scared, i guess.”

“shit, y/n. i’m so sorry if i got carried away. i never meant to pressure you or make you uncomfortable, i wasn’t thinking.”

“no, ed, it’s not that. please don’t apologize, you’ve got nothing to be sorry for.” you see his panicked expression soften, some tension leaving his shoulders at your reassurance.

“okay…” he trails off, gears still spinning in his brain as he tries to pinpoint what’s gotten you so obsessed. “if it’s not that then what is it if you don’t mind me asking?”

“it’s just-” you cut yourself off, contemplating how you want to word what you’re about to share with him, “in all of my past relationships, if you can even call them that, the guys would court me, sweet talk me. they would create this fantasy of a perfect future together and i would fall into their trap every single time. come to find out that they never even gave a fuck about me at all. they just wanted to get into my pants. once they got what they wanted, they would run for the hills, never to be seen or heard from again.”

he shifts to envelop your hands in his own, pulling them into your lap before you continue.

“don’t get me wrong, i know that’s not you. you would never pull some bullshit like that, but i can’t help the little part of me that’s terrified of waking up to an empty bed the next morning if we do decide to take that next step, y’know?”

“oh, angel. i’m so sorry.” he whispers, pulling you back onto his lap and resting his forehead against your own, gathering your thoughts. “i need you to know that you didn’t deserve that and what you’re feeling is completely valid. if i ever see those assholes, i’ll kill them for hurting my girl, i swear to god.”

you let out a tearful chuckle feeling some of your anxiety fade away, “no, you don’t have to do that. he laughs quietly, happy to see you smiling again, “okay, okay. in all seriousness though, you’re it for me, y/n. i knew it from the moment we had our first kiss in the back of my van. i’d wait for you forever.”

“really?”

“really,” he affirms, thumbing away your tears. you simply nod, grabbing his face in your hands before pressing a gentle kiss to his lips, “thank you.” he shakes his head, gently pulling your hands off of him and pressing them to his chest, right over his heart.

“no need to thank me. i’ll always show up for you, whatever you need, no matter the time, i’ll always come running,” he promises, peppering kisses on each of your knuckles. “now come on, i think we both deserve some rest,” he urges, pulling you up towards his headboard.

you rest your head on his shoulder as he wraps his arms around you. you feel him rest his chin on your head as he begins to rub soothing circles on your back,

“just close your eyes sweetheart, i promise i will still be here when you open them again.”

❗️Low effort xenoposting because my coworker went to sleep and i have nothing to do at work right now❗️

"shion and kos-mos' relationship is familial" shouldn't be considered The reading of their relationship as often as it is given that their development in Ep. I is built around actively refuting it. shion begins the series treating kos-mos as her child as a maladaptive means of coping with kevin's death. kevin likened the development of the kos-mos archetype as him and shion having a baby, and shion proactively continues to treat kos-mos this way not to honor his memory, but because she cannot let him go. kevin is alive so long as kos-mos is not allowed to be. she expresses in their opening cutscene together that she doesn't want kos-mos to awaken from the virtual reality training sim they converse in because it would mean that she functionally could no longer be in denial about what kos-mos is - a weapon.

one of shion's core character conflicts in Ep. I is how confused, frustrated, and to some extent, scared of kos-mos' personhood she is (as well as how the kevin variable interferes with overcoming this). shion is someone who relies on control to navigate her relationships because of how deeply unpredictability frightens her; this is best exhibited when its revealed that she keeps realian self destruct codes despite believing in realian rights. she feels an inexplicable affection toward kos-mos and a desire to get closer to her, which runs in direct conflict with her desire to merely possess kos-mos as some kind of inert child-like figure. one of the reasons she freaks out after kos-mos kills virgil because it is the first time she is confronted with the reality that kos-mos is an autonomous force to be reckoned with, not her baby, and kevin is gone. repeatedly from that point, shion is given a choice: she can pursue kos-mos' absolute obedience at the expense of everything that she was created for and all of the lives she was meant to save, or she can learn to support kos-mos on her own terms, and embrace kos-mos as a genuine friend, confidant and partner at the expense of doing away with the inkling of attachment she has to kevin's ghost.

it comes to a head at the end of Ep.I where shion is given the choice to let kos-mos stay behind so everyone can escape albedo's ship- a scene that intentionally calls back to the ending of the first level where shion almost dies by refusing to pull out of the simulation. it's not 1:1 as that cutscene was intended to illustrate that yes, shion is depressed and suicidally devoted to kevin's vision, but in tandem with her character development, the contrast between shion in the beginning and the end of Ep. I is palpable: she wants to live, she has people she wants to protect, and by allowing kos-mos to stay behind, she is also starting to realizing that loving others means respecting and trusting them, even if being unable to secure the outcome of your relationship with them is scary.

I completely and honestly dont mean some things said. I'm just pissed off and keeping it in is making things worse, the qsmp is amazing and everyone included in it is doing so well!! The admins are very good at what they are doing, and I hope they get all the credit they deserve <3

I'm just pissed off at the fact that the players arent given a chance to WIN. If you really look at the code its obvious that they are in creative mode, which means that the players are basically being told "hey I'm invincible and you cant do shit about what I'm going to do to your eggs, the things we know you're attached to". They arent given a chance to fight and win, which if you think about it is possible for it to stay difficult but also give some hope that they COULD win and hell even have them completely eradicate it, the binary entity dying in a cannon/lore situation would be awesome/satisfying plus giving the obro team more information. It's unfair and it will come to the point that everyone is getting to the point that it's no longer fun, the smp will slowly die out. I think the admins are doing well ofc, but all of them need to realize that it's not fun anymore. The binary entity was cool when phil and fit fought it because they could actually KILL it, but it was still challenging to fight it. Now that it's all powerful and is impossible to win against it's getting frustrating, I thought in the beginning that it was genuinely cool and it would be an amazing addition for lore! Now I am just done with it, I've seen how paranoid the CCs have gotten and the guilt when they cant win and someone dies. It's gone to far in my opinion, the qsmp team needs to seriously look at how the players and viewers react to the binary entity. Yes it's cool for lore, sure it's a challenge. BUT an IMPOSSIBLE one, keeping the eggs safe is now IMPOSSIBLE. I had to stop watching last night because I was so mad, I wasnt having fun like usual. I was just pissed off that the admins would do something like this, I'm still kinda mad at them.

On another note, the egg event is going to end horribly. Everyone is going to be so mad, hurt, or just done with continuing the qsmp. Its hurting the CCs in different ways, and us the viewers are also getting hurt with every single life that gets taken away. I love the eggs and I want them to stay of course, but it doesnt need to stop for the well being of the players. I actually got scared for bad when dapper died, and how angry phil was when tallulah lost a life? It's very scary, I hope the eggs will be fine but I really value the CCs more. The code entity just isnt the way it should go.

All in all, the binary entity needs to seriously have a huge change. The admins are doing a great job, but I'm still mad.

#degu complains #degu hates the binary entity even more #qsmp #fuck the binary entity #qsmp binary entity #qsmp spoilers

Close family resolution i fuck w/ since its always been about being doomed. Journey got cut short and only had a beginning and end though.

Oak & stampler family resolution share being haphazard and rushed and both impeded by the fact that the two dads are npcs and cant take a active role the story and relationship required of them. Sparrow and normals conflict about sparrow not being proud of normal shouldnt have been soley focused on normal feeling like he has to prove himself to his father but sparrow realizing the fault is on him for not being proud and grappling with his own self shame that hurts normal. Terry needed to be more proactive in reaching out to scary & continue to reach out even as she pushed him away to prove he wanted a genuine bond with her and it wasnt just surface level niceties.

What the hell was going on w/ lincs family bruvs 😭 first of all despite the other parents all already being majorly snubbed marco got treated especially dirty (2nd only to cassandra) and its especially frustrating when matt arnold mentiones how equally important he is to lincs development but a pivotal scene or moment between them never gets to come to fruition like what the fuck gives. A major part of the wilsons family story arc is taken up far far too much by depicting grants self deprecation to a frankly gratuitous degree and derails the main issue between them which is about trust. Im not as frustrated at the wilson families story because the emphasis were placed more on normal & scarys who had a more cohesive thing going on and my focus is over there for the majority but like i look away from 2 cars who nearly crashed just severely scuffed and see to the side theres a 3rd car completely disassembled and drenched in urine. What happened there.

First, the onus of these relationships shouldnt solely be on the teens the transition from adapting gameplay & story from the pc being the parents to child holds a different dynamic but unfortunately isnt either accounted for or good for gameplay and with it stems so many of its problems. This leading to them like getting tired/not caring and the complete lack of passion or investment towards the end of the story for this world & characters is so sad. The blanket statement of i love yous from the dads and it just immediately rolling credits is like damn yall are so done w/ this 😭

#txt #neg #shoot me a message or ask if you want to disscuss w me or send me hate mail either way ill be yapping and chewing on this for another month #we can rebuild it. stronger. faster. compacter (delusional)

Hat kid please hat kid

Okkk sooooo

species hc: she and bow are both sentient time pieces of sorts, rewinding time when damaged enough to when they were fine and thus being kind of immortal. the only people aware of the rewinds are the undead

more under the cut

i really like shane frosts backstory for her: her parents forced her to grow up earlier than necessary and she made the decision to run away, which, leaving her to fend for herself, forced her to grow up as well. its a sad story, but hat kids not necessarily a sad kid.

i used to commonly portray her as sleepy and calm, her head in the clouds, and while i still think of her that way a lot, shes become much more multifaceted to me nowadays.. i think this part of her is mainly evoked to me thru her being showed in bed both at the very beginning and end of the game, as well as (mainly blue) time rifts feeling like dream worlds.. as well as the game always feeling incredibly dream like to me.

shes also definitely impulsive and mischevious, often growing childishly malicious. refuses to view adults as an authority and so makes fun of or otherwise doesnt take seriously any who try to assert their dominance. if another kid tries to do that it might work though

also, while understandably not a skill most kids have, shes pretty good at not taking things to heart or otherwise distancing herself from situations or people. this is something she developed early when she ran away from her parents. that doesnt mean her fallout with mu didnt hurt her though..

shes a lonely kid craving recognition and attention despite sometimes willingly pushing people away. in the very beginning of the game, although very quietly, her alarm clock voices her todo list for the day, with one of the points being something along the lines of "draw faces on rocks and pretend theyre people" which, while obviously meant to be humorous, still hints at (or outright states) hat kids loneliness and lack of desire for solitude.

that said i do not think that's why she did the bff contract lol i think she did that out of pettiness and because she thought thatd be really funny. i dont think she wanted to genuinely befriend snatcher from seeing some hidden heart of gold in it. i think it was a bit

you could say shes canonically scared of them because shes portrayed as such in one of the final journey storybook pages

i agree but actually disagree. i personally believe this is her after their first encounter, before properly understanding what his deal is, not even necessarily tragic backstory wise.. in her diary entries she expresses infinite confusion and disbelief at being forced to do evil community service. which doesnt even seem to directly benefit the scary person thing. its making her deliver mail to its among us babies. also the justification for vanessas manor is so funny hes like steal something from there. and then he doesnt even ask to keep whatever hat kid takes. also she calls snatcher weird on multiple occasions like it just completely saturates her view of him. whatever initial intimidation she had just melts away because hes just some weird person thing. not even really malicious just abnormal

which is why its very hard for me to believe shes hurt by death wish. frustrated and gamer raging? sure lol. but i feel like its like Ohhhhh so this is just genuinely what dead people hanging out equivalent is like? trying to kill each other? (quality time w snatcher) ummmmm ok.. kind of weird though lol. but fun. she ❤️ outfit

ok now regarding the tsundere thing. i do not think she is sincere there. at all. i think shes making fun of him. with the only genuine implication being that the way he is behaving is not sincere. hes not necessarily soft just different. also shes like i do not know what this thing thinks of me. were friends i think. i dont know. (i think they become actual friends later on :) )

with empress i think shes actually intimidated by her, regards her pretty highly and gets actually scared and embarrassed when trying to get what is very clearly her stuff back. but not scared enough to not return to the metro or mess around eating food on the clock. i think they eventually make up

#text #dove dont look #3 paragraphs on snatcher again head in hands #ummmm ill maintag. people do that w their hcs sometimes. why not #ahit #a hat in time #hat kid

SO did a Haunted MAnsion double feature

I watched both the 2003 Haunted Mansion and the Muppet Haunted Mansion,because theres a new Haunted Mansion film on the horizon .Gonna give quick thoughts on both

Haunted Mansion 2003 is a nostalgic fave,but I get the complaints by Mansion fans .As a fan of spooky comedies ,I think its a fun spooky family film :The zombie scene is scary ,Jennifer Tilly is pretty funny as Madam Leota , Wallace Shawn is always a plus ,production design and cinematagrophy are beautiful,I think the ballroom scene is the best use of Mansion iconagraphy,and the always amazing Terrance Stamp is PERFECT as the villainous butler Ramsley .as for the big issues,I get what the film is trying to do be a throwback to oldschool horror comedies where ya take a comedian and put him in a spooky setting (Which is a shame they werent able to get Don Knotts as the caretaker ,as I think it wouldve made that clearer ,been perfect casting and a fun call back to the fact he did a spooky comedy,Ghost and Mr Chicken ) but Eddie Murphy while I maintain works half the time with some funny lines,and I think he is mostly good ....Is hit and miss here and I really think hes not great in the sentimental moments .I also think most the Mansion iconagraphy,feels really forced ,and the movie feels like a generic haunted house movie ,and the fanservice scenes feel like just detours.I also dont quite understand the ghost rules but I can usually overlook that .Oh and Mansion fans,while I think the ending works....I get your frustration .So I personally like the movie as a spooky comedy ,but as an adaptation of the ride its not great,but I do think its not bad and is underrated

Muppet Haunted Mansion.....I dont love it at first but it did grow on me and overall enjoyed it .I think the big song is great ,Taraji P Henson and Will Arnet are perfectly cast,Dave Goelz is great as always as Gonzo ,The Old GOnzo puppet is genuinely disturbing (My lil Sibling said "I hoped they burnt that thing "),and while I prefer Gonzo and Rizzo,Pepe grew on me despite not being a Pepe fan .I also think it used Mansion iconography really great .....My issues are the begining is slow ,I dont think the celeb cameos work ,it was made dueing the pandemic so it doesnt look great and....Its a personal gripe....Why in this HALLOWEEN special are none of the guest stars spooky related ?? I did end up liking it ,but I dont love it

(Chronically online subject anon) I was very tired when I sent that ask so I maybe could have phrased it less aggressively but that was actually an astonishingly thought out answer. I actually work as a teacher in the public school system (USA, young high school so like 13-16 age range), started working only this year, and I am. So astonished at how so many of these children act. I have genuinely been approached at lunch and ask what my most controversial discourse takes are (1/2)

(/2) and I genuinely just don’t have any because I grew up in a technological isolated environment (fundamentalist Christian homeschooling cult), and I’ve also been in your discord server and some others and I never expected kids to act like they do on tiktok and discord in real life as well??? I could use some of your advice to tell them if it comes up even worse in the future, so thank you for that genuinely (2/2, can’t go back to edit the beginning)

Yeahh I get you. Keep in mind these kids live in grim times though yaknow? Like Covid going on? Man idk abt other ppl but worst we had when I was a kid was swine flu and even that was scary. And highschool sucked so fucking bad for me I can’t imagine going through this shithole while also going to highschool and dealing with all those hormones. Plus all the other BS they got going on, man I’m struggling to make ends meet as a young adult with the housing market and shit and nothing seems to be getting better so imagine what they’re looking forward to in the future. Even if the kids can be frustrating due to being chronically online, keep in mind a lot of chronically online kids come from chronically distant families and they don’t really have somewhere else TO go. These kids won’t learn better if we don’t teach them better and if you’re genuinely a teacher, you have a unique opportunity to be a turning point for the kids you teach. Guide em to the right direction and don’t be an asshole to the Gen Z’s like the gen X’s were to us, I’m sure they’ll appreciate it.

#nice anons #idk how to tag this #weirdly deep convos about the internets effect on children #religion tw #cult tw #not to imply ur an ass to kids w the last sentence anon this is just kind of a general rant to adults abt how to treat kids #also nobody twist tbis to make it seem like I’m saying not to hold kids accountable when they do awful stuff bc that’s not it at all #I’m just saying cut kids some slack if they lack in social skills bc the worlds been hard lately and it’s not impossible for them to learn

Hirano to Kagiura Ch.11 Analysis: Then vs now

The fan translation of the ch.11 title is "For a long time now." I disagree with that translation. (Note that my Japanese is very limited and this stems from google and dictionaries.) The Japanese title is "前よりずっと." If one googles the entire phrase, the translation "Far more than before" shows up, which I think fit the chapter much better.

(It's understandable why they would translate it like that, though, even if it's entirely different meanings. 前 (read as 'zen' or 'mae') means (among other things) "before." より ('yori') in this context likely means something like "since." ずっと ('zutto') is likely where the disagreement stems from, as it can both mean "continuously" or "much more," among other things. Broken down, every single word in this title have several meanings. I'm trusting the "Far more than before" translation as 1) the fact that an online dictionary even has it as a phrase indicates that it's a relatively common phrase with a specific meaning, 2) it fits the chapter really well.)

What this chapter shows us is how much Hirano has changed since the beginning of the school year, even though he hasn't changed much on the surface. Or rather, how much the reason behind his actions towards Kagiura has changed. As much as I love the entire flashback about Hirano asking Hanzawa for help, I think there is one panel in particular that justifies the entire flashback's place in the chapter.

This is why Hirano did so much for Kagiura in the beginning. Hirano doesn't want problems, so he's avoiding conflict by making things easier for Kagiura. The descriptor Hirano uses in the original Japanese is 楽 ('raku'), the meaning in this context most likely being easy/without trouble. And the scenes both before and after the flashback shows different ways that this very much isn't the case anymore.

Before the flashback, there's a scene where Hirano thinks about how staying in the same room is easier for him because it would be harder to fix any problems between them if Kagiura had another room he could run away to. But there wouldn't be any trouble if Hirano didn't pursue a continued relationship with Kagiura. Staying with him IS the troublesome path, even if Hirano doesn't think about it in that way.

After the flashback is the scene where Hirano thinks about why he does so much for Kagiura and concludes that it isn't weird at all. Which is of course frustrating as he's clearly doing way more than one would normally do for one's roommate, but I do think that he has a point in so far as it's a natural progression for Hirano specifically. Because Hirano, despite his scary looks, is naturally a caretaker (most clearly shown in the vol.2 extra 15.5 "A story about a busy-body"). He's caring and when placed in a situation where he's supposed to take care of someone and that someone very clearly appreciates it a lot, of course it would end up like this, with him doing way more than necessary. It's not to make their time as roommates go smoother, it's because Hirano genuinely likes it.

But I think the last scene of the chapter shows just how much kagihira's current relationship doesn't fit Hirano's original goal of making things as easy as possible for both of them.

At the end of the chapter, Kagiura is studying in bed even though Hirano had turned off the light for them to go to sleep. The time is 10:15 PM. Kagiura says it's only to the end of the page.

Next page showed a clock showing that it's 5 minutes past midnight. Kagiura is still studying and Hirano is still awake worrying about Kagiura.

The first time I read the chapter, I had realized that Kagiura wasn't stopping at one page, but since I hadn't noticed the time on the first clock, I hadn't noticed that it had been almost 2 hours. Which also means that that's how long Hirano had been worrying about Kagiura instead of sleeping. So the whole situation is now causing both of them to lose sleep. That's pretty far from getting through it without trouble.

Ok Smiles I couldn’t find it anywhere but I’d love commentary on any part of that fic you wrote where Blue is touchstarved and the other colors comfort him abddhffh I love that one

-Sky Floor

Don’t worry bestie I got you. It’s right here

Ok, I honestly don’t know where I got the idea to write Blue the way I did. In the manga he’s a very angry and tough guy but he has a soft spot (he cries when they say goodbye :() so imagined it all goes a lot deeper than just anger. Originally I was gonna have Leon comfort Blue in the end but I decided it would’ve been better if the colors comforted him so that I have all of them in one fic you know? Now, I’m not a neat person, I don’t keep my room clean and while I do occasionally organize things, I’m not neat like Blue is. However I think I am very shy and reclusive and I really projected that onto him. I mean he doesn’t have that many connections in the manga. Green is the most like Link and is the leader and so I imagine that he and Zelda get along the best, Vio was close with Shadow, and while he’s rude too I don’t think he’d be shy. And Red is just a little Angel who I feel like would keep in touch with Erune and the kids! But Blue didn’t have that many connections to me. Except with the colors of course

Now the part where he looks for Green and Zelda and hears their laughter and decides not to join them is def something I’ve felt. The self consciousness and believing that people really don’t enjoy being around you is rough, they probably feel obligated to be around you and are just being polite. And it’s hard when you don’t know if they’re being genuine or polite. So you start to spiral into overthinking it all. Blue feels sad hearing Green and Zelda having fun and he doesn’t want to ruin anything, so he decides to stay alone. You know in movies or irl when you hear laughter and it just makes you feel hollow? Yeah that’s what I was trying to convey there.

The most frustrating part of being very shy and introverted is that you do eventually feel lonely. Whether you like it or not, humans are social creatures and we NEED connections. Even tho I can be alone for a while, I need to at least talk to someone. Blue has spent a lot of time alone and he begins to feel left out and hated and all that stuff. He can handle being alone, but not for a long time. And the most annoying thing is that there’s a simple solution to loneliness, go out, socialize, make friends, all that. But it’s really not that easy. I’ve been told so many times that I need to go out and be with people more, and I KNOW that, I know that I get lonely and I know that I need to at least hang out with some people sometimes, but It’s HARD. It’s so hard and people who don’t struggle socially DO NOT understand how hard it is. I feel like I get super anxious whenever I’m in small groups of people where I have to hold up some conversation, big groups is fine but going to a grocery store or trying to find a job or calling someone on the phone is scary and I hate it, and no one seems to understand it. I tried to convey this with Blue, and even the blame that I put on myself on him. He keeps saying that it’s his fault that he’s lonely and that he’s friendless. He won’t go out and talk to people, he won’t make the effort to reach out, therefore HE shouldn’t have the right to even complain about it because HE can solve the issue so easily. And he doesn’t feel like he can talk to people about it because they’ll say “you need to go out and socialize” or something like that so he doesn’t say anything cuz it’s his fault. I just kinda wish that some people understood that not everyone’s strong enough to reach out on their own. And that just talking to people can be terrifying.

And the part where Blue is watching everyone have fun, and the feeling of being left out. It HURTS. It’s hurts so bad, and it’s worse cuz you know that the problem will be solved if you just move to join them and to have fun but you’re so upset that you don’t know how to do anything else except to curl up alone in your room. You don’t know if you’ll even be in the write mood to have fun, you don’t know if you’ll ruin their fun with your presence, you don’t know if they even want you there. I’ve def felt that too many times and it’s so so hard. Now the part where the colors come in and comfort him hasn’t actually happened to me eheh…. But it was needed for him. The colors love Blue and they do want to be with him, Blue was just overthinking and they didn’t know that he was feeling that way because he didn’t say anything. Also the nickname blueberry I felt was very cute lol. And it’s def something Red would call him.

Idk I’m not a touchy person but sometimes a hug goes a long way, sometimes you may need a hug. And yeah, that’s all I have to say about that dhksbsksbsk hope it was a fun read and I’m glad you like it!

#asks #smiles rambles #ironic how while writing this my family decided to go and eat lunch without me because I wasn’t ready #even tho they didn’t tell me that they were going out for lunch so how on earth was I supposed to know #💀💀💀#aaaanyway….#feeling left out SUCKS

"Winter Solstice Part 1: the Spirit World" re-watch :)

I really loved the way this episode was structured. The opening scene shows Aang becoming extremely upset about the destroyed forest & Katara gives him hope for the forest's regrowth with the acorn. The closing scene shows Aang realizing that Hei Bei isn't an evil spirit, just an angry spirit, hurt that the forest was destroyed. Then he gives Hei Bei the same hope he was given. It's just a beautiful parallel.

This was a great introduction to the spirit world & I enjoyed the different color palette used & Aang's realization about where he was. I'm always talking about what a visually stunning show ATLA is, but this is an episode where the animation really got to shine. The scene at the beginning where we see Appa's shadow against the clouds is especially gorgeous.

It's also just a well-written episode that feels almost like a side adventure (in a good way) at first until you realize that Aang is connecting with Roku's dragon & learning about a way to contact Roku. Then it's like "oh shit, this is an important episode!" I love it. Also, it's fun how Zuko's adventure rescuing Uncle Iroh parallels Aang & Katara trying to get Sokka back. As a side note, Sokka is so brave to be the ONLY one to try & help Aang, even if he immediately gets kidnapped. Go Sokka! My man does not get enough credit for this bravery. Yeah, it was a little stupid, but also Aang was getting his ass handed to him & everyone else (even Katara!) was just watching.

Also, the moment when Sokka slips away into the spirit world gives me legit chills. I loved every scene with Aang in the Upside Down - uh, I mean in the spirit world. Very great moment when he's trying to interact with the regular world & to air bend & realizes he can do neither. This episode had some really chilling & genuinely scary for a kid's show moments, which I love.

One thing about this episode that I did NOT enjoy was naked Iroh xD

Also, I'm not necessarily 100% on board with the popular take among many Azula fans that making Iroh & Zuko sympathetic main characters even when they were antagonists is bad writing or unfair narrative framing in & of itself. I like it when villains are built up as complex characters, even while it's made very clear they are villains at the end of the day. So, yeah, I enjoy getting to route for Iroh & Zuko on side adventures.

We are definitely getting that complex sympathetic villain writing with Zuko so far. Now - where I take issue is with the inconsistency in understanding Iroh's motives. Why is he just napping & soaking in the spring when Zuko is telling him it's time to go? This laziness made sense before he believed they could find the Avatar, but now they are actively tracking the Avatar so his behavior is bizarre & frustrating. "Iroh was always secretly on team Avatar" seems to be the show's later justification but...then why does he seem so pro-Fire Nation, & talk so casually & remorselessly to the earth benders about his siege on Ba Sing Se? That's literally my only issue with this plotline (oh. & naked Iroh. eugh). I love Iroh & Zuko getting storylines where we get to route for them even while knowing they are antagonists, I think it's fun. My beef is with confusing & inconsistent character motives, now that bugs me.

That said - Zuko is iconic in this episode. First of all, he's the only one who notices that Iroh was taken by earth benders. Second of all, he chooses Uncle Iroh even over going after the Avatar. Despite my many issues with Iroh's writing, I do love how he grounds Zuko & we get to see Zuko around someone whom he genuinely loves & cares about. Also, Zuko kicks a fucking boulder through the air & breaks metal handcuffs with his foot! Like damn, okay, go off Zuzu <3 Zuko said "never skip leg day" I guess! xD

Anyway, this was a great episode overall! I loved this introduction to the spirit world & getting to see Aang connect with Roku's dragon & I really loved the Hei Bei storyline & how it was concluded :)

Did u enjoy the 1st A2Z compilation film?

Mod Blue: Heck yea I did!! It was awesome to see Zetto and Kizuna again !!

I think the movies are doing fantastic at adding extra context to the series, which I know some fans desperately wanted (especially in Kizuna's regard). It definitely shows the improvement that Kirb's had over his years of storytelling/animating, and it's nice to see it in the context of my favorite shark man.

Actually, wait, I wanna gush about all the new scenes:

First scene:

I think first off I wished we saw more of that "worse spirits" Zetto that I would have expected post-Episode 0, though it's also SO sweet to see Zetto being more happy-go-lucky; it helps tie into Plan Z's mention of how Zetto actually hated how Rockoon and Doubling used their job as an excuse to destroy the game

I think it showcases that Zetto DOES care a whole awful lot, but also that Kizuna truly does care for his safty (that shot of Kizuna staring at Zetto's glitched stump </3)

Second Scene:

I think this builds a lot of tension about how Alpha was never meant to be involved with Plan Z... also it's just sort of funny to see Kizuna swear and get huffy lmao

Third Scene:

I love seeing Zetto and Kizuna argue; I think it definitely showcases the Factbubble mentioning how Zetto scarcely takes "the mission" seriously while Kizuna is a lot more professional. I think it's also kind of cute seeing Zetto be all "EVERYTHING'S FINE" to Kizuna's "NO IT FUCKING AIN'T"

I think the part where Zetto and Kizuna are huddled around the antivirus leaves me in awe; knowing what eventually happens, and that Zetto is still SO hopeful about it... </3

Kizuna hiding the fact that Alpha's the one with the virus from Zetto, and Zetto being so trusting of her? Breaks my heart ;n; I feel she does regret not being fully transparent with him, but she's definitely putting the mission first above all else. Maybe because she cares so much about Zetto's wellbeing, that she wants to hide it for as long as possible before he finds out, knowing damn well that he won't react very prettily...

Fourth Scene:

This is my FAVORITE scene, genuinely. It gave me chills during Chris' sneak peak and it was even better when all finished! You can really hear the anger in Zetto's voice, and I think it goes to show how much Chris has improved as an actor.

He's genuinely fantastic at letting me feel for Zetto as more than a character (since like... that IS the point of storytelling lmao). There's so much frustration in his voice at Kizuna's brief "betrayal", and that his new friends are now involved with Plan Z. It's also really cool to see Kizuna's character expanded upon; her wanting the game shut down is something only touched upon in the Factbubbles, but there's also the huge conflict between her own interests versus putting Zetto's interests first since he was the one most impacted by the virus.

It's also just nice to see Kirbopher brood a bit lmao

In the Kirbopher part of the scene, I think the little part where he's conversing with Alpha through text is really sweet. Alpha would presumably only get the text, but you can tell Kirb's much more subdued and troubled in his voice. It's really sweet Alpha asks "You OK? We can talk about it, if you'd rather just hang :("; like, that's the cutest thing in existence! Obviously Kirb isn't gonna show himself being upset to Alpha, but it's fascinating to see how he hides that from Alpha here. It's incredibly sweet he does a little smile at the end of the scene; it shows that while he's beginning to get scared over his friends getting involved with Plan Z, he still does enjoy their company and it's his little conversation WITH Alpha that snaps him out of his "oh god, my friend has the arm-hurty virus!" funk.

Fifth Scene:

I love this scene as well; it shows the moment the happy-go-lucky Zetto we see throughout the movie turns into the scary shark man in Episode 5 (literally. his fangs turn into the shark teeth by the end of the scene lol)

Even though his tone is much more angered (once again: Kirb's voice acting is so much more improved and AWESOME), he STILL comes from a place of care; he cares about his friends, he cares about the game, he cares about SOFDTI's sacrifice...

Because this scene comes after Episode 4, it leaves me in awe that such a nice experience with his friends leads him to his obsession with with mission. It's BECAUSE he cares so much that drives him into who he'll be for the rest of the series.

Kizuna's somewhat snarky nature in this scene also gets me real good because she's hot because it adds a little playfulness to her character that goes sort of "Now THATS the Zetto I know" or "NOW you're focused, awesome <3" territory.

It's really cool to see THE moment Zetto gets the arm. I quite like the way he grabs and attatches it; It's not the craziest animation by all means, but it's just satisfying to see lmao.

Genuinely, Zetto's words are kind of haunting but also endearingly nerdy lmao. The way he emotes with the same hand the virus cut off, the way he reassures himself that Kizuna's the brains to his brawn, the way he wants the virus to feel the same amount of fear that HE felt towards it... I think it's a perfect segway into Movie 2, especially since it seems like we'll briefly see Zetto MUCH more troubled about his identity... and we know damn well it's gonna involve Episode 10 too.

Also, it'll have this frame. I hope the context is as slutty as this expression because I am in NEED to see Zetto manipulate mansplain manwhore his way out of this mess

Mini Fanfic #1020: Sunset Worries (Sonic X Crash)

6:45 p.m. at Emerald Beach......

Sonic: (Looking Up at the Sunset With Amy Sitting Next to Him) Gotta say, Ames, the sunset here is looking real pretty this time of day.

Amy: Yeah, it's......(Starts Looking Away While Rubbing her Arm a Bit Sadly) Lovely and....whatnot....

Sonic: (Turns to Amy) You alright, Ames? You usually eat this sort of thing up with your ramblings on romance and junk.

Amy: (Quickly Pouts at Sonic) Hey, they are not "ramblings". The poems and sonnets I write just so happens to be one of the most romantic things any loving couple would ever have the pleasure of reading!....Which I would be more than gladly to show you.... (Starts Blushing and Looking Away Again) If I.....had it with me....right now.....

Sonic: Uh...huh. (Frowns a Bit Worryingly) But seriously though, what's wrong?

Amy: (Takes a Deep Breath Before Speaking) I had a dream last night. And a pretty bad one at that.....

Sonic: How bad are we talking?

Amy: Well, for starters, I got kidnapped, surprise-surpise. But.....it wasn't by Eggman this time around.

Sonic: (Eyes Widens a Bit) Really.

Amy: Yeah. Instead it was this....weird looking robot thing with the red marks all around it's body....and I think I also saw a girl piloting it? In a sort of....ancient magic sense or something? ('Sigh') I dunno.....But anyways, I was turned into a ghost....somehow and that's where you stepped and tried to save me. (Lowers Her Ears) But.....

Sonic: But?

Amy: You also got those red marks all over you, causing you to get more weaker the more you move around and fight. Which naturally, causes that robot and the girl to be too much for you to handle. Nearly killed you even. And all I could do there is cry and plead for you to get back up as they start taking you away. I kept yelling and yelling and yelling out your name as loud as I can till eventually....I woke up.

Sonic: Wow. That sound like one bizarre dream....

Amy: Yeah, no kidding. I shrugged it off at first, but...the more I think about it....(Looking Down at the Sandy Ground, Twirling her Finger on it While Frowning) The more I started to realize just how much of a nuisance I've really been to you over the years.....

Sonic: (Eyes Widened in Genuine Shock) What? Amy, come on. You shouldn't be hard on yourself.

Amy: (Turns Back to her Boyfriend) But it's true, Sonic. All the times I've been kidnapped...(Grabs her Chin) Which hasn't really been a lot in all hindsight. At least not compared to your mom, no offense.

Sonic: (Shrugs) None taken.

Amy: You would always go out of your way to save me and what do I do to show gratitude? Being clingy, loud, annoying, even ungrateful and rude to some cases! It makes me wonder....(Crosses her Arms and Close her Legs Together as She Watches the Sunset Somberly) why would you even bother to date someone like me to begin with, you know?

Sonic starea at Amy for a few seconds before taking a deep breath.

Sonic: (Places his Hand Around Amy's Shoulder as He Gently Pulls her Next to Him) Okay, look, I know the hero gig could get tiring and frustrating for me sometimes....(Rolls his Eyes) Especially when Eggman's involved. But despite all the crap he pulled and everyone and everything else that tried getting in my way overtime...(Smiles Reassuringly) I always find some way to save you guys and the day the end eventually. You know that, right?

Amy: (Look Back Up to Sonic) Well...yeah, but-

Sonic: (Immediately Places his Finger on his Girlfriend's Lips) Upupup! The fact of the matter here is: whenever you're in trouble, I'll always be there to save ya. It doesn't matter to me if you get loud and obnoxious as long as you're safe in my arms. And second, yeah. I did find you annoying and scary in the past...Well...I mean, I still think you're scary. (Boops on Amy's Nose With his Other Hand) But in a cute kind of way.

Amy: (Giggles Ticklishly a Bit by the Nose Boop)

Sonic: But the day we on our date for the first time, made me realize that you're a hell of a lot more than I ever gave you credit for. You're kind, strong, loving, and the most prettiest girl I've ever had the pleasure of falling for since then.

Amy: (Eyes Begins to Sparkle as She's Nearly Loss For Words) Really?~

Sonic: (Chuckles Lightly) Really Really. I'm glad we started dating after that and I'm even more glad the relationship we have now has gotten more stronger than ever. Cause I really do love you, Ames. Always.

Amy: (Already in Tears) Oh Sonic!~ I love you too-

Sonic: (Quickly Puts his Finger Back on Amy's Lips) Wait! Before we start getting all lovey-dovey and junk, I wanna give you your present first.

Amy: (Groans While Pouting at Her Boyfriend) Do we have to do.that now? You know how much I hate waiting for my kisses!

Sonic: I know, I know. (Turns his Head to Sixe to Look for the Present Beside Him) But seriously, you're gonna love it. (Shows Amy the Small, Rectangular Box) Ta-Da!

Amy: ('Gasps') You got me jewelry?~

Sonic: Not just any jewelry~ (Opens the Box, Revealing Itself to Be a Golden, Heart-Shaped Necklace)

Amy: ('GASPS') You got me a love locket!?~

Sonic: Yep! (Puts the Necklace Around Amy's Neck) I got it from the mall the other day. Nearly costed me my entire allowance, but it was still worth the buy. And when you look inside....

Amy opens the locket up to see a picture of herself on one side, smiling directly at a picture of Somic on the other side.

Amy: ('Gasps') It's us....

Sonic; (Happily Nodded) That's right. Whenever you feel sad, alone, or scared, you could always look at the pictures inside and imagine me being by your side. (Smirks Playfully) Or imagine how handsomely stunning I am~ Either way, I hope it makes your birthday this year all the more special!

Amy looks down at her present woth sparkly eyes before looking back up at Sonic.

Sonic: See, this is part where you say-

Amy: OH SONIC!~ (Immediately Hug Tackles Sonic into the Ground as She Begins Kissing Him in a Very Loving Manner)

Tails: (Sighs While Watching the Couple in the Distance) Honestly....Couldn't these two at wait to get home, to do that for five minutes at least?

Coco: (Shrugs) That's the power of love for ya. It's wait for no one. At least she likes the gift he gave her.

Tails: True. (Slumps Down a Bit in Disappointed) It definitely beats my gift in the long run....

Coco: (Places her Arm Around her Best Friend's Shoulder woth a Reassuring Smile on her Face) Oh don't be like that, bud. The scarf and coat will look perfect on her. Not to the point where she gives you a barrage of kisses, but she'll definitely still love it.

Tails: (Chuckles Lightly) Please.ike that will ever happen.

Later that Night at Amy's House......

Amy happily kisses Tails on the cheek while hugging him and wearing the new purple scarf and scarlet trench coat he gave her on her special day..

Coco: (Snickers a Bit at the Scene in Front of Her and Sonic) Kinda spoke too soon on that on, bud.

Tails: (Already Has an Annoyed, Deadpinned Look on his Face) You think? Sonic, quit taking pictures of us.

Sonic: (Taking Pictures of the Duo Woth a Teasing Smirk on his Face) Nooope. This is way too adorable to ignore. Even for your standards

Tails: I hate you already.

Sonic: Love you, lil' bro.

Coco: (Smiles Brightly) Same here!~

Amy: Best. ('Mmwah') Birthday. ('Mmwah') EVER!~ ('Mmmwah

Happy Early Birthday, Amy Rose 🌹
