“You’re scared…. and broken…” With, literally any of the Glamrocks after Ruin(preferably Eclipse and Monty)-

"N-NO!! STOP IT!! BAD GATOR!! BAD GATOR!!!!"

Hearing the terrified shrieks of a certain daycare animatronic, you were quick to rush into the garage, stumbling upon a rather frightening scene:

Eclipse, who reverted back to Sun, was on the floor as Monty's teeth were latched onto his leg, violently tugging on it in an attempt to shred what little remained of the tattered striped material. The gator snarled all the while, shaking his head around while the former kicked and screamed.

It didn't take long for you to figure out how to separate the two, grabbing a metal pipe and tapping it loudly against the wall to get Monty's attention on you for a second.

"Montgomery Gator. Let him go NOW!!"

Upon hearing his name, he let go of Sun and stared at you, shrinking away as you approached. With a huff, you tossed the pipe towards the furthest part of the area. "Go fetch."

As he crawled away, that gave you a chance to examine Sun for any serious damage. You kneeled down, frowning as the traumatized animatronic was whimpering at the current state of his other leg--arguably the only "good" leg he had remaining.

'Jesus..I can't leave these two alone for even a second..'

"Are you okay?" You asked worriedly. "Is your leg still functional?"

"Yes, but alas....p-pretty patterns are all ruined now..." He bemoaned. "No stars..no stripes...all gone. No more..."

"Sun, I promise I'll get this sewn up for you. But listen...I warned you not to go anywhere near Monty." You set a gentle hand on his knee. "Why did you go near him?"

"I....we just wanted to say hi! I-I didn't think he'd hurt me! He used to be so nice! S-Sure I might have called his music too loud, but he didn't seem offended by it!!"

"What he did to you wasn't anything personal." You shook your head, sighing. "He's not himself. He's gone...completely feral now. Do you know what that means?"

He was still for a moment, before shaking his head.

"It means he's not gonna know who you are. You all have been stuck there for so long that...he's acting on animal instincts now. He barely even knows me anymore."

"..so..you mean....he thinks he's actually a gator?"

"Exactly." You nodded. "And until I can figure out how to restore his original personality, we'll have to treat him as such."

Sun remained silent, his gaze wandering back to Monty. He was gnawing on the pipe. It wasn't much, but it stopped him chewing on anything else in the garage, such as the important Fazbear Ent. equipment you stole from the plex.

It's not like anybody was going to use it anyways.

"It's not fair to him...o-or me. Why did this have to happen to us?"

"..I don't know. I wish I knew why, Sun." All you could do was shake your head, feeling sad that you couldn't simply repair them both like nothing even happened.

Like they weren't left to rot in that mall for years.

Your exploration of it was still fresh in your mind.

While you couldn't track down Chica, Roxy, or Freddy...you were able to at least find Eclipse and Monty, convincing them to come home with you as it was a lot safer.

Eclipse was more than willing despite being worried about when the children will return to the daycare, whereas Monty just started following you randomly, always being at your heels like a protective guard dog.

He was your favorite out of the Glamrocks, so maybe part of him remembers that--hence he never attacked you.

Unfortunately you had no idea how he would behave around Eclipse, considering you just rebooted him after Sun and Moon were fighting for control nonstop. The two were in obvious pain with the lights being broken in the daycare, so you were lucky to have a fazwrench on you at the time.

But the strangest thing during your time working for the pizzaplex was that you never knew Eclipse even existed as a character. The company never talked about him, and not a single advertisement (old or new) mentioned him anywhere.

There was only ever Sun and Moon.

Regardless, you were glad to officially meet him and see his balanced personality--with Moon's calmness and Sun's optimism

Unfortunately Monty had some fit of aggression when he tried talking to him, sending him into a panic so bad that it made him switch back into Sun. Now you weren't sure how to bring Eclipse back to the forefront without doing another reboot...as that apparently caused Moon great pain.

The gator, as feral as he was, seemed guilty for what he did as he stayed huddled in the nearest corner of your garage. You could clearly see that he didn't mean to attack Eclipse; he just couldn't control himself.

"[Y/n]...a-are we monsters? Is that why nobody comes to see us anymore?"

Those heartbreaking questions almost made tears spring to your eyes, before you turned back to Sun, taking his hands into yours. "No. Neither of you are monsters. You're scared...and broken. But I'll try my hardest to put you back together. You, too, Monty."

"Grrahhh..?" He perked up at his name, dropping the pipe and crawling over to you when you beckoned him closer.

At first the attendant was panic-striken, almost hyperventilating even. But then he saw him abruptly stop beside you and was confused for a moment.

You smiled sadly and patted Monty's head, feeling what little remained of his red hair. "It's amazing that your mohawk is still attached to you, pal."

He chuckled at that, before looking to Sun and huffing. Although he couldn't speak anymore, the guilt was clear in his body language, something that was quickly understood by the solar animatronic.

"Awh, it's okay, buddy. We can still be friends!" He giggled, mimicking your gesture and patting Monty's head, albeit with great caution.

Fortunately, he didn't bite his hand off this time.

All you could do was continue smiling, being a watchful observer of your two (technically four) favorite characters who you were relieved to have rescued.

'Looks like there's hope for them yet.'

Letters to Cupid -Kang Yeosang

Pairings> soldier!yeosang x typist!reader

Genre> childhood friends to strangers to lovers, angst, fluff, use of flashbacks, slightly suggestive, setting takes place around 18th century

Summary> for centuries, women named cupids worked as typists to write letters on behalf of senders who couldn't write themselves. You were always the writer but never the receiver for a love letter, yearning to be picked up by a knight. What you didn't expect was for this knight to have a familiar set of eyes, only this time lost from the innocence they once had.

Words from pupa : This fic is inspired by the anime Violet Evergarden! Also note that the writings in small italics are meant to be flashbacks. I had so much fun writing this so I really hope you enjoy it <3 The picture is also fanart I made myself hehe so I hope you like that too ^^

The typewriter clicked away, following a warm melody of the woman reminiscing her adventures with the other piece of her that is now battling the screams and horror of man. The warm scenery of her words contrasted the thunderous roars outside. The weather had no mercy on lovers under the moonlight.

"Please tell him I love him and I'll always be waiting for him" the woman said glass eyed.

She's a gorgeous woman, with light make up and well done hair, although judging from the purple under her eyes you can tell she's had restless nights, tearful even, by her pink nose that was already prominent as she walked through the door.

You always thought about how hard it must be to have your lover be in the military. You've seen many cases of these couples working as a typist. You had at least 10 letters a day of women writing to their husbands on how badly they miss them, some not knowing their ashes have become part of the land they fight to protect.

"He will appreciate this letter dearly, Elenor. I will make sure to send it out by Friday" you say with a smile embossing a wax seal on the letter.

"Oh thank you Cupid. I was never good at using the typewriter so when an old friend told me about you I practically came here as fast as I could. It's been a month since he's been away, we've never been separated for this long.."

"It must be so hard for you both. He'll be just fine El... I see the love in your eyes, he'll come back to them"

Education was a privilege, hence the reason why so many people were illiterate. For centuries women named "Cupids" wrote letters on behalf of senders who weren't able to write to their loved ones themselves or simply didn't know how to express their emotions on paper. It started from a voluntary organisation but has now turned into a whole company, well known throughout the land.

You were born into the world of literature. Your father was a writer and your mother was a book illustrator. Work being the opening chapter for their own love story. From the moment you were born, books heavily dominated your life. Literally. Because even from the scene of your birth, where your mother delivered you unexpectedly at the house you grew up in, you were wrapped in ripped pages from books- that being the first thing they could grab instead of a blanket at such a chaotic scene of panic.

You grew up with your mother reading you books and you accompanied your father while he wrote. Although you loved literature, writing your own book wasn't something you saw yourself doing. You much preferred experiencing a realistic event rather than coming up with a story, which is why you fell in love with this job.

You get to write true emotion while hearing another person's story and relationships. And you were clearly good at portraying what people wanted to express as you had tons of people personally asking for you to write for them.

Love; a topic you could rant on and on about. You dreamt about being picked up by a knight, running away from reality just to intertwine in each other's soul.

However, you weren't such a hopeless romantic as you were very selective with the guys you talked to, let alone dated. No one has ever made you feel like a princess getting saved by the prince. Maybe reality isn't like the books, however, you felt that there must be someone in this lifetime who could make you feel like that.

The night was dark. Dark as the swelling wave of the ocean before the rising winds, when it bends its head near the coast. Rain fell hard against the concrete floor and the wind was so sharp it could cut you.

The girl shut her eyes, trying to count sheep to calm her heartbeat but the sound of the rain only pictured her sheep drowning in the night alongside her.

"The rain won't get us here" spoke the boy, flashing her a smile that emphasized the pink red mark by his left eye. The red mark he told her was from a kiss from cupid after she pointed out how it looked like a heart. They were under the awning of a closed store.

"The rain is scary Yeosang" she frowned.

"It's only water" he held his hand out to the rain and let it get wet "see? I'm fine"

"I know but I don't like the noises"

"Then don't listen to the noises. You can just listen to me" he wiped his wet hand on the side of his pants and grabbed onto hers.

"I will protect you from the rain. I promise I will always hold your hand when it rains Y/N"

“Sorry I’m late, I just finished up with my last client for the day. Did I miss anything?” you place down your coat on the chair back.

“Only Jia swooning over mailman Tony again” Sakura chuckled while sipping her coffee.

“Seriously, when are you going to make a move? He might be single” Maya continued mouthful with a sandwich.

“Oh shush there shall be no romance at work. We have a business relationship and that’s how it’s going to stay. Now let’s get started with the meeting so we can head home before the weather gets worse.” Jia snaps and everyone hides their smiles at her shyness.

“Okay, this meeting is to just remind everyone about plans for next week. We will be accompanying commander Chan- everyone remembers him right? From last year. We will be writing letters for his unit, he has a different unit now. Make sure to pack warm clothes sinc-”

“Since there will be lower temperature in the North” Sakura and Maya said together in a monotone voice. “We’ve done this before Jia we knowww~” Sakura whines.

“Just relax and look out for the hot single soldiers” Maya giggles to Sakura who is now poking at Jia’s side.

“Business! This is business guys! We're going there for work. Plus, these hot guys are depending on us to bring back their messages to their families. No fooling around” Jia makes clear.

Once a year your team will visit military camps to write for soldiers. You’re usually there for 3 days excluding travel. Apart from some of the men being touch starved and looking as if they’ve never seen a woman in their life- most of them are really nice. Last time they even set out a mini farewell and thank you party before your departure.

The crisp sound of snow beneath your feet and cold sensation on your nose definitely woke you up from your nap on the way here. It actually felt quite nice, your surroundings bright from the white snow despite the sun not yet risen and the cold air felt like a splash of water to your face in the early morning. All nice except for the sound of Sakura and Maya’s whines from how their boots weren’t fit for the snow. This is exactly why Jia spent so much time whining about clothing.

The soldiers shared cabins or tents. You girls too got your own cabin to share- unfortunately quite small so you’ll have to put up with Maya’s snores throughout the night, however big enough for the 4 of you. The main area had its own cabin. That’s where the soldiers mostly hang out and eat.

As you girls made your way to the main area, commander Chan introduced you to everyone. There seemed to be at least 40 men in there, thankfully all divided into units so it was easier to organise when you’ll be working with who.

Everyone gave you a warm welcome. You girls spent the first hour chatting with some of them, or you could say flirting for Maya and Sakura, before going into your cabin and unpacking your stuff.

Everyone was really sweet. Two soldiers, a long haired guy with a mole under his eye and another slightly taller than him with a dorito-like physique showed you around the area and let you know the schedule for breakfast, training and lunch. The area was quite open, you could see yourself getting comfortable here as it was very quiet. However, during all this you felt a pair of eyes on you. Though looking around you never saw anyone who could be staring.

“Slow down Yeo! It’s really rocky here” the little girl pants, trying to keep up with the energetic boy in front of her. He’s practically waddling like an excited maltese dog that’s about to get a treat.

“Just a little more, come on!” he grabs onto her hand speeding up her steps, now reaching his pace.

The two youngsters reach the top of the hill, overlooking the dazzling sight of flowers in different shapes and colours spread out across the field.

The girl lets out a gasp eyes sparkling “This is… what you wanted to show me?”

“What do you think?”

“Yeo this is…. Beautiful” her eyes scan across the field, completely forgetting the distant yelling from her mom she was worrying about 15 minutes ago from why she took so long to get back home after school.

“It’s gorgeous” says the boy, but he’s not looking at the scenery of flowers. He’s looking directly at her. Swimming in the ocean of her sparkling eyes reflecting the warm colours from the sunset.

You are gorgeous he thought to himself.

The day was busy. Each unit who was on their breaks got their letters done and even though it was only day one, you managed to get lots done already. It was already pitch black outside and everyone was already tucked into their cabins.

Maybe you were still in work-mode but your body had no intentions to rest as you couldn’t stop tossing and turning in your bunk bed so you decided to take a step outside. You walked over to a corner with bright pink flowers contrasting the white snow, standing tall and so youthful.

“So beautiful…” you whispered, crouching to touch the soft pedals. They look like they have just bloomed.

“Cyclamen” a deep voice from behind you startles you, letting out a light yelp from you as you turn around quickly. Your yelp almost turns into a loud gasp as you quickly identify the figure owning that deep voice.

His hair is a light chocolate brown, long enough to be tucked behind his ears but not in a I haven’t thought about cutting my hair type of way- it was well maintained. He was taller than you but not enough so that you’re practically looking up. His body was clearly fit, arm muscles very prominent even from his camo print thick jacket. His skin was pale. So pale it looked like milk. So pale it emphasized the pink mark by his left eye.

Kang Yeosang.

You had no doubt this was the same boy who used to have thick pitch black hair, sometimes patchy bangs from the self haircut his sister used to give him. The same boy who looked at everyone with sparkly eyes and clapped his hands together when he laughed.

This was your Kang Yeosang.

“Those flowers are Cyclamen” he said expressionless, hands in his pockets.

You don’t know if it's the cold air drying your eyes or your overwhelming emotion but you start to feel tears forming, so hot and full of sentiment they almost burn your skin. “Yeosang…?” you whisper but it comes out shaky.

“They mostly bloom in cold weather” he says, still in the same stance.

“Are there any more flowers around here?” you sniffle out tilting your head.

“I’ve seen snow roses around here before. Would you like to see them with me someday?”

“I’d love to” you said with a smile, now earning a smile from him.

He takes his hands out of his pockets and steps closer to you, pulling you into a hug which you gracefully accept, your arms latching around his neck almost a bit too tight.

“Hello Y/N” and that's your breaking point. You start sobbing into his chest muffling out I miss yous to which he responds with a hand on your head, caressing it gently.

“I’m here”

The walk was quiet and heavy. Each step representing minutes lost from each other.

The girl is the first to break the icy silence “can’t you wait at least till next year? We just graduated”

“Y/N this isn’t my choice to make, I don’t have any other choice. It’s what I’m supposed to do” the boy says against his wishes.

“When will I be able to see you again?” the girl now looks at him glass eyed.

“I don’t know” he lowers his head but quickly looks at her holding her hand. “Hey, no matter how long it will take, I will always be here, yea? I promise Y/N”

“Please don’t break that promise Yeo..”

The following days you and Yeosang were practically glued together when you had the time. You caught up on each other's life events and even reminisced about your childhood together. It was almost like you were kids again, except you noticed how serious Yeosang is now.

You don’t expect him to have that same innocence as he had when you were younger. He’s a grown man now and also a soldier. Not a particularly happy go lucky type of job. However, apart from teeth smiles while covering his mouth with his hand, you haven’t heard him laugh yet. You missed it. You missed the days when you both ran around giggling at any little thing. Is that boy you loved, lost?

“But yea, let’s just say leaving a half opened can of soup in a tent for 2 weeks isn’t a great idea” he scratched his head and lightly chuckled.

You laughed at his stories with his cabinmates. So far he has only told you about silly fun stories with his friends, apart from him explaining the basic routine of what they do in training. You were glad he was able to make fond memories as a soldier, especially since you knew how nervous he was joining the military.

But something about you knew that wasn’t all. Has he really been doing well? What about the times he's been in battle? Has he been greatly injured before? Broken a bone maybe? Does he miss his family?

Did he ever think about you?

“Yeo…” you placed your spoon down. The main cabin was far too loud for both of you to have a conversation so you and him chose to stay in his tent for breakfast and dinners. His cabinmates barely stayed there unless it was for sleep so you had all the privacy you wanted.

“How are you? Really”

“I’m doing well”

“No Yeo, I mean about everything. Do you like it here? Don’t you miss home?”

“Home? Well… Mom occasionally sends letters, I’ve visited sometimes but travel is so long I’d only have a day with them till I have to come back so… I’ve stopped visiting.” How long has it been since he’s had a home cooked meal?

“This definitely isn’t luxury heh, but I’m used to it Y/N. Don’t worry about me, I know what I’m doing here”

“Do you ever think about… me? Us?” immediately his gaze softens to your words. This is probably the first time you’ve seen a genuine expression on his face since being here. His hand is gently placed on your thigh and he brings his face closer to you.

“Of course Y/N, I told you I’ll always be here. I promised” his eyes burn into your soul and your gaze meets his birthmark. Your finger moves by itself and goes to gently touch it.

“I don’t see you anymore Yeosang… everything is so different”

“I know. It’s hard. This is all very hard but we are going to work this out Y/N”

Your faces are so close together you can practically taste his breath. His eyes land to your lips and for a second you could see the pupils of his eyes grow. He slowly breaks the space between you and you close your eyes, expecting to feel a touch on your lips until he breaks off the moment with a whisper “I want to write a letter.”

“I don’t understand thissssss~ let’s just take a break”

“We’ve already taken 2 breaks. Here, I started the first step for you, now remember what we did for question 6, it’s basically the same thing” the boy hands her the sheet of paper.

“Yeo I appreciate your help but maybe this is a sign from god that I should just give up on Math” the girl slouches on her seat kicking her feet.

“Math isn’t that hard, you just need to focus. Now come on we still have 5 pages left.”

“5 PAGES!? I might as well throw myself off the window”

“If you finish this in the next hour” he leans in close to her ear “I might give you a kiss” he leans back to his chair with a smug look on his face.

You’d think the girl wore face paint on her face from the deep red that was now formed. Without a word she picks up a pencil and writes away on her paper.

“Damn you Yeosang”

Some people get frustrated with slow walkers in front of them, slow drivers or even someone talking way too calmly, but the way Yeosang is working the typewriter makes you want to snatch it from him and do the job yourself.

“Are you sure you don’t want me to write the letter for you?”

“It’s fine I got this” he continues on with his slow pace.

“Who are you writing that letter to anyway?”

“Just someone”

“Who is just someone?”

“A person I know”

“Who is this person you know?”

“You don’t know them”

“Pleaseee Yeooo~” you lean in closer to him “I’ll give you a kiss if you tell me who” you giggle remembering his little tactic he used to use on you in school.

“Mmmm I’ll think about it” you huff in frustration and he laughs.

He laughs.

Your worries of losing the boy you loved dearly completely vanished as you finally see that innocent boy back. His laugh sounded like the doorbell of a childhood house, where kids would run to see if daddy is home. The last bell ring at school, when kids ran home to show mommy what they drew. The sound of the ice cream truck song amplifying as it rolled up from down the street. The clicking sound of riding your first bike, parents cheering in the background for balancing without training wheels.

He sounded like childhood and you felt like a child again.

In what felt like forever, Yeosang finished his letter. Sealing the paper into an envelope ready to be read by this mystery person you so badly wanted to know.

“Okay I’ll take it and make sure to send it out. Make sure to write the address.” you reach your hand out but he doesn't move.

“Oh no I want to keep it”

“What?”

“I want to keep the letter.”

“What do you mean? Don’t you want to send it to that person?”

“Not yet.”

“We can withhold it and send it at any given time you want”

“It’s fine, I’ll send it myself”

Him protecting this letter made you even more curious as to who it was for. Surely he didn’t just write something for fun. Who was this friend? Was it a girl? Or possibly a lover? Surely not. Especially not when he almost just kissed you a while ago.

He promised. You’re just overthinking. Right?

It was your last day with the soldiers. You only had a couple of letters to finish and by nightfall you and the girls were set off to travel back home. Absolute no bone in your body wanted to go back home. This meant being separated from Yeosang again and you weren’t ready to let him go yet, you only just reunited with him.

“Y/N, you have a visitor waiting” Maya points to the door, only to see Yeosang waiting for you.

“I have a few more letters to write th-” you’re shushed by Maya when she lightly shoves you out of the room “Don’t worry, we got this, you go enjoy your last moments with lover boy” she whispers the last part although Yeosang surely heard judging by the way he looked away.

“Ooo he’s a shy lover boy too” Maya says before closing the door, you can still hear her giggles through the wall as you’re now left alone with Yeosang.

“Shall we go?” he quietly says.

“Yeah, where are we going?”

“You’ll see”

The two of you slowly walk side by side, occasionally bumping the sides of your arms. There isn’t much talking but the silence is comfortable. Almost too comfortable that you forget this is the last time you get to examine his features before the final goodbye for god knows how long it will be again.

You’re snapped out of your thoughts when Yeosang hands you a big white flower, a snow rose. “This is the snow rose I told you about” he said with a smile gently handing it over to you.

“Yeos-”

“Marry me Y/N”

What.

Time stops for a second. A long second. Even the birds stop chirping and the wind halts. You aren’t sure what just happened but your heart knows for sure that it’s a big deal as it beats so hard, destined to break out of you and reach his own, intertwining with his and merging into one.

“What did you say?” you mutter quietly.

In contrast with your tone, Yeosang is confident. His chin is up high, shoulders back and there's a look in his eyes that show no sign of hesitation.

“I want you to marry me Y/N” he takes a step closer, and another, and another, till you’re now backed up into the rough surface of a tree.

“I’m going to make this work, I’ll find a way to leave this place if I have to but Y/N, I can’t let you go again.” he cups your face gently and swipes his thumb across your cheek “I’m done keeping promises and making you wait, I want to be with you Y/N, only you” he rests his forehead against yours.

“Come home to me Yeosang” you breathe onto his lips before locking them together.

Your lips dance together so full of passion and need it almost feels as if your bodies are intertwining into one. You feel his small smile through the kiss as you deepen it, locking your hands in his hair while his explores the sides of your body.

Cold air hits your belly as he lifts up your shirt to slide his hand against your skin, caressing your chest. If you weren’t so lost in the kiss you would have noticed that he was practically spelling his name across your chest with his hand movements.

Remembering that you both need to breathe, he’s the first to break the kiss. You’re both a panting mess but he manages you let out a chuckle “I’ll take that as a yes.”

“Yes in every language Yeosang. I will marry you” you smile out taking in his lips once again.

You asked for a rose, but Yeosang gave you a whole garden.

Two years later

“Tell me Cupid, what should I tell her? I’m so scared. What if she’s waiting for another man?” the man from across you says, blowing his nose into his now 8th tissue in the past 10 minutes.

“Sir Walker, you clearly love her right?”

“Yes! Oh heavens more than anything, I-I’d kill for her, I’d crawl on my knees for he-” he sighs taking a breath “I don’t imagine a life without her”

“Then fight for her” you say softly.

“She’s lands away from me Cupid! How will I be a man to her if I cant even reach for her?”

“Make that happen. You said you would kill and crawl for her. Put actions to your words Sir Walker and show her you love her. You are living in the same lifetime, right here, right now, don’t regret your choices and lose her. She needs to see you fight for her”

The man breaks down but looks up at you again, composing himself before saying “Have you experienced love Cupid?”

“Everyone experiences love. If not now, one day, just as you wait for love, there is another person waiting for the same. Everyone has someone awaiting them” you softly smile.

“I’ll do it. Tell her I’m coming to get her. I’m not sure when but from today onwards, she will be my focus” the man lets out a broken smile. Broken yet mendable.

“She will be waiting for you Sir Walker” you say before typing away, a paragraph that awaits a new chapter for the couple.

Your night ends with that heartfelt love story. You hope the best for the couple and your heart nearly breaks with his as you also can’t help but think about your person you are waiting for.

The weather outside is mean. Almost in hopes of drowning man in its rage. The thunder roars and you’re left counting sheep in your head- something you’ve been doing ever since you were a kid to calm down.

As you’re walking out of the building Jia calls you from behind “Y/N you have a letter!”

She runs up to you and hands you the letter. “Who is this from?” you ask as you’ve never received a letter before.

“Hm not sure” she looks into a room, clearly distracted by something, or someone as you look at the direction only to see the famous mailman who has been working here years before you joined the company- Tony.

“Um yea I’ll see you tomorrow Y/N I gotta go, bye! Let me know who that letter is from!” she says from a distance practically skipping her way to Tony,

You don't get the chance to even reply to her before she's gone. You look at the letter and there is no address to indicate where it was sent from, which could only mean this letter must have been dropped off by the sender here at the company.

You walk out the building, still sheltered from the awning covering you. Your steps are heavy, unable to move.

It's fine Y/N let's take this slow you thought to yourself deciding to just stand there for a while before making your way home.

You curiously open the letter and start reading it;

Dear Y/N,

How are you? I am writing this letter to you while you are right next to me. I hope you’re not mad about almost kissing you and asking to write a letter instead. It’s just that I wanted to capture my feelings towards you at this given moment, so we can hopefully both look back at this letter.

You asked me if I liked it here. I don’t. I hate the feeling of knowing every movement I make can be my last, and that I won’t be able to say my final goodbye to you. I hate that I go to sleep at night, responsible for another lost man from his lover. I wish I could be able to come home from work and tell you about my day. But what can I tell you? About how many screams I heard? How bloody my hands are after every battle?

You asked me if I think about you. My answer is yes. Painfully yes. I always think about what you could be doing at any time. If you found yourself love. I worry everytime it rains, do you have anyone to hold your hand during thunderstorms? I force myself to repeat your voice in my head because I’m so afraid of forgetting what you sound like. I always remember about the day I took you to the flower field. You looked so beautiful in that moment. So everytime I find a flower, I make sure to stop and admire it, pretending it’s you. Because to me, you are far more beautiful than any flower out there.

I will come home to you Y/N. I promised I would be there. I promised to hold your hand. And I will fulfil my promises, even if it means fighting for my life.

Wait for me my love.

Love,

Yeosang.

“Damn you Yeosang” you chuckled out, a crack in your voice causing tears to slip out. You look up to the sight of the man in reason for these tears. He’s still wearing his uniform, hat covering half his face. He seems to have gotten bigger in physique too. He drops his hat and you smile widely at the sight of his birthmark, now holding smiling eyes.

“It’s raining” he said, reaching out a hand “I’m here to hold your hand.”

You completely ignore the extended hand and crash your body into his for a tight hug. An embrace with no chance of him slipping out.

“You came home” you said into his chest.

“I came to stay”

“And to hold my hand”

“And to hold your hand” he laughs out.

Yeosang was your childhood. Yeosang is your home.

⭐ Warning: This is the second part of Spells, but it can be read regardless of whether you've read the first part or not. Written in third person, crack-fic and fluff, contains DiaLuci and possible spelling errors.

Tagging: @beels-burger-babe @lemonandlime22 (not that barb fic but I think you'll like this)

"You’re crazy!" They exclaimed. The pungent potion sat on their table, still giving off a thin line of smoke and a strong cinnamon scent. But they decided to focus on the form of Solomon lying lazily on their bed, humming a song as he watched the newly created potion change color. "That's why Lucifer doesn't like you."

Solomon chuckled, propping his face up in his hand to look in their direction with a goofy grin on his face. "He doesn't appreciate my genius, obviously."

They rolled their eyes and with a chuckle added, "Of course, because cutting a baby in half and handing half to each woman was something a genius would do."

The sorcerer preferred to remain silent instead of answering, but they noticed how he hid a small smile as if to this day he found that idea funny. Solomon had a quirky sense of humor and sometimes they couldn't keep up with his dark jokes and stories like that. The scariest story he could tell you could be, without a doubt, his first attempt at cooking.

"Besides, you said imperius wasn't a viable option. And if anything happens, just order him to be quiet like a good puppy, Mc." The sorcerer spoke again softly, breathing heavily and eyes closing. He should have stayed up all night working like he always did when he had a goal in mind.

They smiled. Ever since the fateful night the two humans tested Harry Potter's spells and wreaked havoc on the House of Lamentation, they've been forbidden to keep in touch. And even though weeks had passed, Lucifer still wouldn't let Mc be at the mercy of Solomon's dubious influences and he was no longer allowed to go to the House of Lamentation to gossip with Asmo or watch anime with Levi.

He couldn't even set foot inside the house without being thrown out by a strong spell. And soon Solomon took it as a personal affront. And, wanting to take revenge on the avatar of pride, he created a love potion and intended to make Lucifer drink it somehow, wanting to see the expression on his face when he confessed his love to his special someone.

But Lucifer seemed to underestimate human stubbornness, hence Solomon had found a loophole in his spell and was now enjoying Mc’s company.

"None of this would have happened if you hadn't broken the roof and a bunch of pictures and furniture." They continued to mock the sorcerer, recounting how many spells he had cast as he ran through the halls laughing like crazy that day, slurring out every syllable as they got closer to the sorcerer. Until they sat on the bed and laid his head on their thighs. "But I can't say that the idea doesn't make me curious. And I know you needs me, so we'll make him drink this potion tomorrow morning."

"Why not today?" Solomon asked, lacing his hand with theirs and rubbing his thumb gently over their skin. It was a lovely habit he always had and it always made them smile.

"I know very well you haven't slept all day, Solly." They stroked his scalp gently as if to lull him to sleep. They watched as Solomon's eyelids fluttered shut and slowly opened as the other human struggled to stay awake for a few more minutes, loving the endless affection. "Then no, I won't let you neglect hours of sleep for a little revenge like that."

Solomon seemed to mumble something under his breath but finally he allowed his body and mind to rest, entering the world of dreams lying in their lap, feeling their fingers playing with the strands of his hair and the small kisses they left on his forehead. He loved those moments as much as he loved them.

...

The day started hot. Unbearably hot. It almost kept them from getting out of bed in the morning, but they had promised that they would help Solomon with his little revenge. So, almost resigned, they walked slowly through the RAD corridors towards the meeting room. They were carrying a tray with several cups of iced tea in their hands, Lucifer's tea already mixed with the love potion Solomon had brewed hours ago.

They doubt the avatar of pride wouldn't notice the subtle change in smell and taste. But maybe if he was concentrated enough by the matter that would be discussed today, then he really wouldn't suspect anything.

Asmo, whom Solomon had made promise to help with the plan, opened the door for them with a smirk on his rosy lips. He was simply ecstatic with the news that he would see Lucifer professing his love to someone and the avatar of lust had named several demons, among them Barbatos or Diavolo, who his older brother might like. He was almost betting on who would be the lucky person.

However, Asmo quickly got busy distributing the cups to his brothers while Mc served the royals and Lucifer with an innocent smile.

"Oh, Mc, good to see you." Diavolo said with his humorous laugh. "Could you tell everyone to be seated? We'll be starting in a few minutes."

They made a sound of agreement and walked away, asking everyone to sit down. But out of the corner of their eyes, Mc watched Lucifer drinking his tea and talking normally with Diavolo, sometimes laughing at something the prince said.

Suddenly they felt a hand on their shoulder, making them jump in fright. Solomon was grinning at them broadly, his features much more relaxed after a power nap and an amused smile growing on his lips as he watched the avatar of pride drink more and more of his tea. "It will take effect in a few seconds." he whispered.

And when they parted the Morningstar was walking towards Mc. Despite the restrained smile on his stoic face, he seemed to dislike their and Solomon's approach, almost fuming at the sight of them so close to each other.

" We're starting now," He murmured, one hand finding its way to their shoulder. "Sit next to me, Mc. We don't want distractions."

Solomon snorted. If anything, he should feel annoyed with the demon trying to get them to distance themselves when it went against the purpose of the exchange program. But he decided to just smirk and sit next to Asmo like he always did.

Lucifer pulled a chair beside him for Mc to sit and cleared his throat. He looked ready to say "You should choose best friends, Mc" and such, but Diavolo got up with several papers in hand and started reading all the important topics noted down.

In a few weeks, exchange students would be in charge of organizing an event in which beings from the three worlds could participate and have fun. The prince spoke excitedly about the event as if he could visualize everything right in front of him, but Mc paid more attention to Lucifer's red face and how he held the edge of the table, trying to contain the effects of the love potion he ingested.

Pretending not to know what was going on, they discreetly nudged him. "Are you okay? Your face is all red."

Lucifer muttered something so low they almost didn't hear him. He took a deep breath and then drank some more tea. "I'm fine, Mc." He said softly, tucking a messy lock of their hair behind their ear. "Pay attention to Diavolo."

The meeting proceeded at a slow pace. Sometimes they saw Lucifer squirm in his chair, sometimes he lowered his head and took a deep breath, until after half an hour he finally seemed to reach his limit and stood up. His chair skidding against the floor made an extremely loud and irritating noise, and silenced Simeon who was currently giving his opinion on the songs that could be played at the festival.

All eyes were on the Morningstar. But it was Mc he looked at.

The human looked away. Their hearts doing somersaults in their chests as they ironically prayed that they weren't the one Lucifer loved. He couldn't, not when they and Solomon were already dating - even though neither of them had told anyone, with the exception of Asmo who found out by accident.

However, the fear was unfounded. The avatar of pride cleared his throat again, adjusted his black gloves on his hands, and looked at Diavolo with great determination. "I need to confess something."

The prince, clearly confused by the interruption, frowned. He waved his hand to let his right arm know he was allowed to speak and exchanged a quick glance with his butler, equally astonished. None of them suspected anything.

Mc caught Solomon's eye and he was holding back from bursting out laughing, listening to whatever Asmo was saying with great interest. The other brothers also had no idea what the oldest was up to, but they didn't seem to care much.

"I love you, Diavolo."

Ah, always direct Lucifer.

His words reverberated far and wide. But no one really seemed to feel the weight of them until Mammon's eyes widened and he yelled in surprise, the news finally clicking through everyone's minds. And Mc could only laugh softly at the situation, I mean if he loved Diavolo and Diavolo loved him back then they were happy for those two.

"I knew it!" Asmo shouted excitedly. He celebrated in his chair, doing a victory dance and forcing Solomon to do the same.

The brothers started talking over each other, surprised by the sudden news. And despite the commotion and all the noise, Lucifer's expression remained serene, waiting for an answer, almost as if he was frozen in time and didn't realize it. And Mc didn't even know if the prince was still breathing after that confession, still looking at the morning star as if he was seeing it for the first time in his life.

"Does that mean Satan is heir to the throne if you and Lucifer get married?" Mammon asked. And the avatar of wrath narrowed its eyes at him, effectively silencing him.

"Mhm, that's so sudden" Admitted the prince, speechless. He walked over to Lucifer and touched his face affectionately, tracing the plump lines of his rosy cheeks and looking into his ruby eyes. "But I must say I feel the same way about you. I always have."

Another scream came from Asmo jumping with joy, his eyes were adept at noticing when someone had a crush or things like that. And several whispers went through the brothers about the sudden declaration of love, but none of them seemed to deduce that it was potion induced.

Lucifer smiled almost as softly as he did when he looked at Cerberus, his face all red at the confirmation that Diavolo loved him too. And the prince returned the look fondly. "The meeting is temporarily closed, see you next week. You are excused."

Mc got up. They wondered if they, too, had that passionate look on their faces when they looked at Solomon or when they were close to him, holding his hand or laying their head on his shoulder, covering them with his ridiculously long, warm cloak. Mc found they didn't mind if they had that goofy look on their face, as long as they still had their sorcerer on their side.

Outside the meeting room, they both burst out laughing, not caring what anyone else thought - for better or worse, no one would know it was all a prank. And at least now maybe Lucifer wouldn't pay so much attention to the two humans, he would spend more time with his beloved prince and leave them alone.

"Where are we going now?" Solomon asked, lacing his hand with his.

"Eat something and rest." MC muttered in a laugh. Behind them the brothers were coming out of the room one by one, each more surprised than the last by the revelation of the day.

"Sounds like a good plan to me."

⭐ A/N: Today is my birthday so I was in the mood to write something cute and silly with them, plus this fic has been sitting in my drafts for months. Heh, I hope you had as much fun with this as I did. Despite that, the ending was going to be different, Luci was going to declare himself to MC but aaaa angst on a day like this? I can't cry in front of my family lololol. Maybe I'll still write that ending if anyone is interested

Update: Added her full bio to this, including couple of examples of her alternate outfits.

Bio below:

Name: Due to Mantis fairies traditions when it comes to marrying a being who is not a fellow fae, she has two names;

Avane Faydream: her "Official" name used for any legal matters: the surname is essentially a reference combination of her parents' being types (A fairy & Dream eater) This is how Official names for fae mixbloods are typically formed.

Ava Mantis: Her "Personal" name she uses in her day-to-day life.

Age: 26

Nicknames: Ava (most people) Fairy-san (Hitomi) little Magpie/Magpie (Her dad), Doll, boss (Roman)

Family: father Lawrence (Dream-eater) Mother Evena (Mantis fairy), Uncle Alois(Dream-eater)

Friends: Taiga Delune (A kitsune) Caelan Araknos (Sea serpent) Claude & Hayden Faylune (Moth fae & Sleep paralysis demon), Aimi (her father's right hand woman) Marci Raye (A weaponsmith warlock that used to work for her dad)

Love interest: Roman Bosco (A grimmhound)

A tattooist working in Jurou Araknos' tattoo parlor

Abilities:

Mantis Fairy skills: Her kind are largely known from being very fast and stealthy, good with long-range weaponry due to how insanely accurate they are, and were often utilized as spies or assassins in the past. While these jobs aren't that common anymore, Ava still has all these abilities as they are essentially "in her blood."

Basic fairy powers: She can summon and hide her wings and fly, as well as converse/seek guidance with nature itself. This is something all fairy folk can do regardless of their type.

Dream Eater power: She has some abilities from her dad, mainly the ability to read into people's dreams as they sleep, and influence the dream a little bit.

Shapeshifting Wings: her special wings are made of dream-eater essence rather than fae magic, so she can shapeshift them beyond just wings of different sizes. She can turn them into giant arms, animal shapes, clones of herself, etc. She can also detach these creations from herself, not needing them to be attached to her (except when they are just wings of course)

Artistic ability: She is a talented artist, which is why she works where she does.

Weaknesses:

Ava is bad with kids, and tends to easily intimidate them. This sometimes leads to awkward situations given her BF is naturally good with kids, which is actually somewhat surprising given most people would find his kind scary.

When her wings are "detached" from her, she cannot fly until reattaching them. Light magic also can render her unable to fly given what her wings are made of.

Personality:

Avane is pretty calm and collected, and often comes off as very serious to most. She just warms up to people slowly, and with how chaotic most of her friends are, she tends to naturally fall into the role of being the responsible one among them, given she tends to be the one with most common sense/emotional maturity in a situation.

Despite her seemingly serious nature, she does have a sense of humor and doesn't mind teasing her loved ones or having friendly banter with her friends. She's just heavily introverted and often prefers her own company or having a chat with someone at a cafe or at cuddling with her BF home over going out and partying. She absolutely has her own childish, petty side to her, that tends to come out the most when she's very tired, either physically or mentally. (Basically when her typical ability to regulate her emotions extremely well is compromised)

She tends to not have much tolerance for shitty behavior, and sometimes does utilize her natural spookiness to others to her advantage to deal with assholes. She tends to generally come off as somebody difficult to approach, but once you get past her crack, she is quite the good and trustworthy friend.

Fun Facts

While her mother has no human world heritage whatsoever, their village and family has Japanese-like culture, hence Ava wears outfits sometimes that seem inspired by the culture.

While she doesn't like the Overshadower Council much for multitude of reasons (such as their dismissal of her mum's side of her heritage) she loves her dad very much and knows her dad dislikes their arrogant attitude as well

She is a bit closer with her dad than mum, but does get along with both well. Her dad's just a bit better at understanding her than her mother.

Her tattoo style is more monochrome or uses minimal colors when compared to her boss, and she tends to prefer floral/tribal patterns.

The lightning tattoo on her left arm was actually designed by her boyfriend as he wanted her to have something he came up with too (with her consent of course) and it was made by her boss. Her moon and stars tattoo on her other arm was also made by him based on her design.

Ava speaks Japanese alongside the Fae language and the universal language in Mirror World, due to her father being born from a Japanese man's trauma (Dreameaters are born from people's nightmares and mental/emotional suffering)

She does also speak Italian somewhat thanks to her boyfriend, who was part of an Italian mob before he was essentially rescued by her.

Having quite elaborate hairdos is pretty common for Mantis fairies; in fact there is an old tradition they have where once they turn 20, each fairy designs a specific hairstyle for themselves that they'll wear the most. After the first time designing it by hand, they use magic to easily recreate or undo this trademark hairdo. Ava's flower bud look is her special design.

She is demiromantic/demisexual, and thought she was essentially aro-ace until she met Roman and developed a strong emotional bond with him, while helping him set up his new life in Mirror world.

Her eyes are that way due to her dad; her mum has normal human-like white sclera.

Describing Chiba's personality like he's a main character on a well-written wikia page

Because way too many people mischaracterized him for my liking and enough is ENOUGH!

Note: I am ignoring the anime adaptation because the changes they made completely ruined Chiba's character.

Chiba generally appears to be a calm and serious boy whose maturity and professionalism for his age was always noted by others during missions. He always gets the job done with little to no complaints, simply allowing his results to speak for his high skills. Along with his fellow sniper Hayami, Chiba tends to be compared to a working adult.

But outside of assassination, Chiba is surprisingly fairly social and bubbly, often seen wearing a wide smile on his face and is rarely alone. He seems to enjoy the company of others and is always present whenever his classmates gather to do an activity together. Because no one can see his expression with the way his hair covers his eyes, Chiba becomes frequently misunderstood by strangers, but his close classmates described him to be a very gentle and soft-hearted person.

Chiba is very tolerant and tends to be a little bit of a people pleaser, always putting other people’s feelings over his own even at the risk of possibly wearing himself out. The reason why he hides his eyes is to accommodate his peers when he was younger since his intense gaze made him appear to be always on guard. Similarly, he dislikes letting others down. It’s why he never complains when his classmates began putting their faith in his skills when he was assigned the most important role in the Island Assassination attempt. He fears that letting his concerns be known before the attempt was made might shake his classmates’ confidence and he doesn’t want that. Hence, he swallowed his feelings and continued on with the job. Later, Chiba outwardly admits that he felt so pressured by the amount of faith his classmates had in him that it inevitably affected his usually near-perfect performance.

Chiba is notably keen on logic and prefers to only rely on solid facts when taking in information. He is a realist who lives in the present, using his five senses to quietly observe the world around him, thus noticing details that most people tend to miss. After the announcement of their final exam results when he noticed the dejected Karma despite the nonchalant front, he knew exactly what to do to cheer him up. Another example was when he decided to check on Kurahashi who was feeling down after Takaoka began taking over their PE classes, aware of her interest towards Karasuma.

His spatial awareness was what makes his sniping accuracy be of high level, easily being able to determine the distance between point A and point B while taking account of outside factors such as wind direction and trajectory of the bullet. In the Korosuu novel, he even shows his disinterest towards Hayami’s suggestion of using his “intuition” to shoot because it clashes with his extremely calculated sniping method.

Although he never brags about it, Chiba is rightfully proud of his skills and despises it when his abilities gets undermined and ridiculed to the point that he becomes very petty about it. When the Legendary Sniper called him a hindrance after giving him a warning shot in chapter 5 of the Korosuu novel, Chiba meticulously instructed Hayami to shoot back at the sniper out of pure spite.

His learned tendency to swallow his concerns when in the middle of a job makes other people mistake him for someone who always hides what he feels. But the surprising truth is that Chiba finds it easy to be completely transparent about his feelings, especially with how self-aware he actually was. Right after the Island assassination attempt was deemed a failure, Chiba wasted no time asking Ritsu to confirm what he had observed during the assassination attempt. He did not hesitate to express the pride and confidence he always has in his skills from how extremely well he typically does in rehearsals and practice sessions, as well as the growing pressure he felt from not wanting to let others down finally dawning on him the second he was about to pull the trigger.

By the time he returned to the hotel, Chiba was able to navigate through his feelings and let them out in the open for Ritsu and the others nearby to hear. Throughout the entire infiltration, Chiba did not once think back to his prior failure, more concerned with what is currently happening around him, like Korosensei entrusting him and Hayami to use real guns, which he finds to be an absurd thing for a teacher to do. Chiba’s method of instantly facing his feelings after the concerned matter is done with is what allows him to move forward without regrets.

Ever since the pep talk Korosensei gave to them, Chiba slowly began to voice out his concerns and share the details he had observed more often. It later turns out that he deeply respects Hazama because the ease she has to string her words together outloud with hardly any care about what others may think was something he couldn't replicate himself.

In Korotan B, Chiba noticed the direction of the conversation he and Puey were having and thus tried his luck to ask about the boy’s backstory while he was still being talkative. When the class became divided in whether they wanted to continue the assassination or not after learning the truth about Korosensei, Chiba volunteered to be the first to pick his side with no hesitation, which was the Kill Team. He expressed that he had long decided on what he wanted to do and will go through with it.

A rather hidden side of him was that he is an adrenaline junkie who gets very excited at the notion of doing something fear-inducing and borderline dangerous, like going to space or riding intense amusement park rides. He has a liking towards intense things in general, given his love for hardcore punk and metal bands.

My top 10 unpopular opinions.

10. Sevendust is one of the best Metal bands I have listened to I genuinely love Sevendust, but while the band has many fans, some of us can agree that they don't quite get the recognition they deserve, and because of that, several have indeed labeled them as underrated.

They have a great unique sound that is very heavy yet melodic, and they're one of the few bands that haven't really changed their sound all too much, and yet they still come off as great and fresh...that's just me though.

9. Double Dragon (Neo Geo) is one of the most underrated fighting games I have ever played I love the Double Dragon games (most of them, anyways), and this gem for the Neo Geo is no exception.

It's loosely based on the Double Dragon movie (more on that later), and yet it actually does a great job at making the film universe seem very cool, especially as an alternate take on Double Dragon. Beyond that, it's a fun Street Fighter II-esque fighting game, which is ironic because it's published by SNK (Capcom's long-time rival behind The King of Fighters and Samurai Shodown among others).

Definitely a much better Double Dragon fighting game than Double Dragon V: The Shadow Falls, and it helps that it was developed by Technos Japan aka the company behind the original Double Dragon arcade games.

8. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is overrated I used to like this movie, but upon rewatch and reflection? I realize just how cringe and obnoxious it was.

Every single character is unlikable, especially Scott Pilgrim himself, and I didn't find it all that funny. It does have a great visual style from Edgar Wright as well as some cute easter eggs for video game fans, but that's not enough to salvage it.

7. Pineapple on Pizza is fine While not my favorite topping of Pizza (I prefer Pepperoni and Meat Lovers), Pineapple Pizza is not as bad as some make it out to be, especially when compared to Anchovies.

6. The old Super Mario Bros., Double Dragon and Street Fighter movies are not the worst The first few live-action movies based on video games pre-Mortal Kombat (1995) get quite a horrible reputation among fans, but as a fan of the games they are based on, I can still watch them.

Yes, they are very loose takes on the classic games, which is largely one of the main reasons why fans hate them, and yes, they're not technically great movies either, but they can be very amusing, especially in that guilty pleasure/so bad it's good way.

I can still let them pass for at least trying to make video game adaptations work, especially since they were among the first examples of the concept. We did get better video game movies, especially the animated Mario and Street Fighter II movies, but believe it or not? We also got much worse examples (such as Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li and the adaptations directed by Uwe Boll).

5. I never got into the MCU's depiction of Spider-Man I love Spider-Man, especially the first two movies by Sam Raimi, but I never really got into later Spider-Man movies beyond them...well, except for Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, which is honestly the best Spidey flick since Spider-Man 2 (I have yet to see Across the Spider-Verse, but I have heard great things).

Tom Holland's version of Peter Parker did get a lot of praise, but I never really liked him all that much. To me, he was kind of a wuss. I recognize that he does mature by the end of Spider-Man: No Way Home, but while it was nice to see him with both Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield on screen, I had already lost interest in the MCU by that time.

If you like the MCU Spider-Man movies? That's perfectly fine.

4. Street Fighter III and Mortal Kombat X are some of the most overrated fighting games ever Some will scream blasphemy since I am a massive fan of both Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat, hence my nickname Ryu Kang, but I never got into these particular installments.

They were both aiming to be focused on the new generations of both franchises, similar to Tekken 3, which I felt did that concept much better. The two games get a lot of love, especially among tournament players, but they're not my cup of tea, and I do prefer other Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat games.

3. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003) is one of the best incarnations of the TMNT franchise I love the TMNT franchise, whether it'd be the 80s cartoon, the first two live-action movies from the 90s, or some of the video games like the two arcade games by Konami and Shredder's Revenge.

While the 2003 cartoon has a fanbase, it's also one that tends to be pretty underrated, especially in later times. I love how it aims to be darker and mirror the original comic books while still working within the parameters of being a Saturday morning cartoon.

I also have a personal attachment to the cartoon as I used to watch it a lot around 2003-04. Plus, I will gladly take it over later incarnations of TMNT like the Michael Bay movies.

2. Batman Forever and Daredevil (2003) are pretty underrated comic book movies These two movies do get so much hatred, I feel. While neither of them are among the greatest superhero movies ever made, I genuinely feel there was a lot of effort put into them, especially considering that they were victims of heavy studio meddling.

The director's cut of Daredevil (2003) especially salvages that movie, and I would like to see the original cut that Joel Schumacher intended for Batman Forever if they ever plan on releasing it.

1. I prefer Sonya Blade with Liu Kang over her with Johnny Cage Some of you definitely saw this coming, especially if you follow my page, but yeah, I'm not very fond of the CageBlade pairing.

I have already written many times before why I feel this way, but in a nutshell...Johnny annoys Sonya so much, and she only warms up to him whenever she's put in danger and he comes in to save the day. Also, later MK games and movies did a poor job handling their dynamic.

While Liu Kang and Sonya never really hooked up in the canon, the interactions they do have really show that the two get along well, and I do feel the pairing has fan art and fanfic potential beyond what I normally do with them.

With that being said, I don't mind Liu Kang with Kitana either (though recent MK games and movies do a poor job handling them too), and I would be biased and harsh if I said that he deserves only one between Kitana and Sonya.

So yeah, those are my top 10 unpopular opinions. If you don't agree with any of these, it's all good. Let's be civil about it.

Nitpick N(Oct)ovember #1: 👄

Time to start off my first day of Nitpick November. Basically it's an event started by @odsalt for us to talk about our RWBY gripes that we don't want to spend time intellectualising, hence the name. So if you're a RWBY fan, you can already skip this.

Anyway, this is something that has bothered me for the better part of... 6 years now? It pains me knowing I've grappled with this in RWBY for a longer time than I spent not.

I have an irrational and near-constant dislike of RWBY's post-V4 lips. I hate them so much.

I just find them so... ugh. I've rarely liked anime where the bottom lip has a prominent shadow like this unless it's done well, and to know this was going to be in RWBY forever now when the models looked perfect before made me shrivel up inside. Not to mention the shadow covering the entire underside of the nose is also really unappealing to look at.

Chalk it up to my own art preference combined with it just being another hurdle that made the jump between the Poser and Maya models even more painful. I'm a very visuals-oriented person and how the characters look in a show is already enough to get me to watch or drop it, making a special exception for RWBY post-V4.

It's probably because of their engine or shader, but there's some shots (only one with Ruby that comes to mind) where the lip shadow isn't visible and the nose shadow is only on one side and I swear the model looks so much cuter:

(Put next to Volume 2 Ruby for comparison)

I decided to go ahead and remove the lip + nose shadow on different shots of the girls from Volumes 7-8 to prove my case, and personally I find them way nicer to look at. (not to mention that the skin shading in RWBY always tend to have this weird muddy tone to it which further contributes to making the overall face look worse)

The nose/lip shadow is such a small thing to gripe about but it's like a fly in the room - it's always there and always bothering me. Hence why I call it a nitpick.

In Penny's case, I actually had to raise the entire mouth and nose up a little because the facial features look too weirdly long without the shadows - the long faces are sort of a problem with all of RWBY's faces, which are only further exacerbated by the shadows.

I'll be honest, if the models in RWBY consistently looked like this at the very least, I'd be way more forgiving of it. But this has been a constant itch in my brain that's constantly kept me from fully getting into the show. It feels like it's trying to imitate Avatar's style of shading, only... it doesn't look good.

In Avatar, the rest of its more Western-anime hybrid artstyle matches its shading style, namely the more defined noses and mouths. For RWBY, it's like it's trying to shoehorn Avatar's shading style onto a conventional anime style, and the result is just this off-putting half-measure that's neither here nor there.

(but I guess I shouldn't be surprised given how much RWBY tries to copy Avatar's surface-level traits without considering how to actually do it well)

"So that's why you're hating on this? You just want the characters to have boring cute anime faces?"

Yes. I like cute anime faces on my hyperstylized anime-inspired show about cute anime girls.

"You just want the characters to have these samey cutesy faces on all of them?"

As if they don't all have the same generic face model for every character anyway - especially the female characters.

For god's sake, if you're gonna copy another media's style of 3D anime shading, why not copy ArcSystem Works? You know, the company you've collaborated with before?

Anyway, that's it. Click Read More if you want to see more RWBY screenshot edits without the lip/nose shadows - they were pretty fun to do.

Autistic!Xiao HCs

I literally couldn’t not make him an HC list (not for a lack of trying). At the very least, his was the last to be made xD

⚠️ tw for mentioned self-harm stims (none are specifically named) ⚠️

• Autistic Xiao: aka the list featuring the most projection

• He has never understood social rules. His mask is very quiet and reserved so there are less chances for interaction he doesn’t know how to handle neurotypically

• This is why his teapot lines progressively get more and more awkward the more he’s willing to speak with the traveler. That’s the mask coming off~

• Actually enjoys company but hates masking and most people are sensory nightmares (and obviously his karma speel)

• Prefers to have clearly defined rules laid out for him regarding tasks, hence part of the reason why he follows his and Morax’s contract to the T

• Visual sensory seeking. He loves bright colors and lights (source: his idle animation, lantern rite)

• Auditory neutral. He doesn’t like it when it’s silent, but also gets overwhelmed when it’s too noisy

• Tactile/proprioceptive sensory seeking but specifically hates the feeling of anything on his bare hands. His gloves are probably fleece lined on the inside and they do a good job of muting other textures

• Also likes G forces and weight. He’s extra with his polearm for a reason (ex: kicking it in the weapons screen)

• Speaking of his clothes: Xiao’s entire outfit is full of pleasing sensory colors/contrasts, heavy objects, sound makers, and elements that provide pressure (ex: his shirt)

• I love the headcanon that sections of his outfit are lifted from the other yakshas’ belongings. Xiao holds a lot of sentimental value in objects; can’t throw things out because that would upset said object

• He’s the kind of autistic that cherishes gifts (no matter the size) so much that he has a panic response and masks the happiness to the point that he looks disinterested

• Smell sensory avoidant. Smells mostly coincide with food or battle in his mind, so they’re eh

• Taste sensory avoidant. Doesn’t care for most tastes and hates most textures in his mouth. His safe food is canonically almond tofu

• He gets the thing where bad stimuli haunts him even after it’s gone

• I would say he’s prone to shutdowns but he canonically has fits of rage and sorrow

• Does not have a sensory diet but he should

• Upset stims are mostly self-harming (though not intentionally). Needs someone to redirect him to safer stims

• Happy/everyday stims are less noticeable ones like tapping his fist to his mouth and small rocking/bouncing motions

• Has a low daily need for support

things your muse will notice about mine. ( repost, don't reblog. )

Neon (Tala)

what they look like : Neon is shorter than most, standing at around 5'0". Usually not in any makeup or something rather light along with strawberry chapstick, as if that even counts. Her expression isn't consistent, although partial to a half pout out of habit. Curious, sometimes uncertain in nature. Royal blue, shaggy hair just barely passes her shoulders with yellow streaks splashed in the midst of it. It's usually up in half-up pigtails whenever she's out but can occasionally be seen wearing it down between trips to the shower or just after waking up. Tank tops and t-shirts are what she likes to wear most days, paired with leggings or shorts depending on the day. Marks run along the bridge of her nose and down her arms that light up at the first sign of her abilities, matching the glow of her eyes.

what they smell like : Coconut, almost exclusively. It's just the scent she's surrounded herself out of habit and maybe grew into a constant and ultimately a favorite over time. From bodywash to deodorant she's usually consistent and eager to replace the smell of blood and sweat after a long day. Having left so much at home, this is a nice piece of it she likes to keep with her.

what they taste like : Fruits, they're what she likes to snack on in her down time. Apples, pears, oranges, anything that's readily available, really. Water or juice is what she prefers to drink most of the time and only occasionally things like tea whenever offered or out with others. Coffee and energy drinks are usually avoided because she doesn't usually need any help staying energized. The extra caffeine and sugar would only make it harder than usual to settle down. The fruits are enough.

what they sound like : Neon's tone is often low, not quite as high and light as others but a quality that hasn't bothered her since grade school. She speaks confidently when in her element and in pauses with awkward inflections when she isn't. Her quips and sarcasm are usually reserved for family and friends, a sign that she's comfortable around her company.

what they feel like : Like a warm smile after the brisk winter's bit at your skin. The electricity she generates usually leaves her with fleeting warmth on smooth, soft skin and far more muscle than one would expect. An athlete at heart on top of her training has made building muscle pretty easy. Not too uncomfortable she hopes. Under the rare circumstances she lets you close enough to hug her, let alone cuddle her you'll never escape. It just so happens she's a huge cuddlebug but fears hurting others too much to give in to physical attention. Stuffed animals were the easiest and cutest solution for this, hence why so many crowd her bed.

Killjoy (Klara)

what they look like : Killjoy is slightly taller at 5'6" and like Neon, incredibly expressive. Brown eyes are usually trained on the tools and projects are hands busy themselves with, eager to build and tinker to her heart's content. Tips of long, straight chestnut hair hangs past her shoulders, the rest hidden by a varying colored beanie matching differing circle frames that rest on the bridge of her nose. T-shirts and hoodies are often are preferences. Leggings, jeans or sweatpants are also her forte.

what they smell like : Pomegranate. It's mostly due to her shampoo that she likes to use with faint traces of oil. Submerged into her own work the scent has learned to stick to her like glue, hiding in every part of her she could call her own from her head to toe and even her clothes. It hides beneath the lively scent of pomegranate but it's never untraceable.

what they taste like : Chocolate. Undoubtedly her favorite snack and what she eagerly munches on between her projects and whenever she can sneak some in between training exercises. Her sweet tooth demands sugar and chocolate happens to be the most satisfying treat it's ever had. Any traces of it within the kitchen are usually low so long as she's around to snag it. Although she appreciates other sweets, chocolate is certainly her favorite.

what they sound like : Killjoy's nothing if not confident in almost everything she says. Full of a certain pride it's hard not to notice it between her various achievements and the number of skills she's capable of performing. The flow of her voice attempts to move at the speed of her mind, a feat nearly impossible to achieve without a few hiccups that she makes up for with quick wit and hearty chuckles.

what they feel like : Like a fluffy, soft teddy bear that's long awaited your arrival. Training isn't something she takes lightly given the circumstances but compared to many of the other agents she can't reasonably say working out is one of her favorite pastimes, nor is she the most physically fit. Enough to keep up and stay on track with everyone else but nothing that she would consider overdoing it. Often being bundled up in hoodies and sweatshirts, she's usually quite warm. Tagged by: Everyone under the god damn sun Tagging: Anyone who reads this and hasn't done it yet

#✰ — Neon ✶ Headcanons; Reaching for the Stars #✰ — Killjoy ✶ Headcanons; Reaching for the Stars #✰ — Queued ✶ Traveling Through The Solar System #I was tagged by so many people I don't remember who originally tagged me ))#I'm late but I was excited to do this tbh I was just having extreme writer's block when it was going around ))#I think I got the muses that people asked for? Either way enjoy learning about the girls ))#Neon and I with that coconut obsession ))

Attention spans are precious commodities. Hence, it is vital that your video explainer is concise. It must deliver your message succinctly while maintaining a dynamic and engaging pace. A well-paced video keeps viewers invested and more likely to share.

Storytelling That Resonates

Human beings are wired to connect through stories. That’s why it is highly recommended to craft a narrative that resonates with your audience’s emotions, experiences, and aspirations.

Incorporate social proof into your video explainer by featuring customer testimonials, user reviews, or statistics that demonstrate the positive impact of your product or service. Social proof not only builds credibility but also encourages viewers to share your video to showcase their affiliation with your brand.

Different social media platforms have different sharing preferences. Thus, you must tailor your video explainer to suit the platform you intend to share it on. It might involve greater shorter versions for Instagram or crafting attention-grabbing thumbnails for YouTube.

Sorry I'm laughing but the second you mentioned harems I got violently yeeted to the era of "Ash betrayed fics where he returns as an edgy trainer and collects a harem of main and single episode females" it really is just a universal experience when a series mains a male protag lol. Do they do this in LoZ? I'm surprised to hear Lumine is more popular, but that checks out too. I have no idea what it is that makes the girl or boy more popular in any given series, but it always gets simplified to "waifu" and "blorbo" in Pokemon its just *hand-waves* too many different spin-offs and creators with their own stances that makes it confusing I think. It's difficult to see if there's meant to be some kind of gender balance or if the creators are trying to say something there on what they feel is/should be canon-leaning. It conflicts with previously released material because there's all this collaboration between the different creators + with how different the media feels each time, you end up wondering which is "for fan entertainment" and which is "secretly the intended game canon" that gets enforced when more canon material takes one side over the other. I think fans are always going to struggle with a lack of gender equality. Sometimes the girls are just too dang popular, and characters like Lucas, Victor, and Nate are the "Ken" of the Barbie/Pokemon franchise. It's joked about too, by TPC and fans. Sometimes everything leans towards the boys and the girls are stuck as the sidekick. But you know everyone has their own attachment to each generation, so something like alternating the protagonist every episode or second series like in the Special Animations - while nice imo - doesn't happen in other spin-offs like Masters. It'll never feel balanced to anyone because the balance comes using all the Gens as pieces of a whole, rather than a balance within the generation itself. Game canon is never addressed, until they drop the "hiding the protagonists face behind a Pidgey because ambiguity ~" and start writing actual Storylines for NPC Players. Hence: fandom canon protag conflict. People are naturally always going to look towards the majority evidence despite Pokemon's former ambiguous nature if most of any given material shows preference in any way. And we already have little to nothing to work with. It doesn't help that spin-off canons have proven to influence each other, so what message comes across in them matters a lot to fans. They don't feel like TPC just throwing a dart for diversity, but rather as deliberate choices.

OH MY GOD YOU JUST GAVE ME FLASHBACKS. I remember those days of exploring Pokemon fanfics and encountering so many Ash is betrayed so he becomes the master of the Pokemon Universe and is the leader of a harem who love him so much T-T

I really don't get the popularity to be honest, I feel like the same ones who did that with Ash are the ones who are doing it with Aether (or are the same breed of people).

Genshin does something similar with the twin protagonists too, they will release content for Lumine (such as when they do birthday art for the playable characters and the protagonist twin that you use will be in the art too if you go to the event) however when it comes to their actual promotion of the game, she's forgotten in favor of her brother.

What's interesting about the creators of Genshin is that they have another game where you choose between a male and female protag but according to friends who play that game, it's the female protag who is favored by the company in promotional art. Seems to be like Pokemon media in that sense.

I know why they give you a choice, it's for players to choice to play as themselves if they want (well mostly as you're only giving two genders T-T). The characters, despite media attempting to give them a personality in some instances, they're blank enough to be self-inserts too.

With Pokemon I don't mind this fact as much as the character you play as don't have major lore behind them but it causes an issue in genshin where they can't pick between wanting the protag to be a self-insert of the player or their own character who is supposed to contribute to the story with their lore and personality.

Technical Proficiency

The process of card game development combines the use of various programming languages and frameworks.

Rigorous Quality Assurance

Testing and quality assurance are needed so the game is released bug-free and technically polished. An experienced mobile game development company conducts rigorous testing so the game is thoroughly tested for bugs, glitches, and imbalances before its release. With this step, the game quality is enhanced and player satisfaction is increased.

Post-Launch Support

While most companies leave you to it after the game is released, you need regular updates, bug fixes, and new content every once in a while. When you choose a top development expert, you can rest assured that they will take care of such things to keep players engaged and game relevant in the long run.

Risk Mitigation

Game development is a substantial investment of time, money, and resources due to which you need to mitigate the risk of failed or lackluster games. Choose an expert who has a higher chance of creating a successful game that resonates with players and achieves commercial success.

Overall, choosing top development experts can ease your card game development process but there are factors to consider while hiring one.

Where to find top development experts?

Though you have an idea that you need to choose a reliable development expert, there exists confusion about where to look for one. Here are some avenues you can explore while looking for top talent:

Game Development Studios

Many game development studios house teams of experts with diverse skills in game design and programming. This might be the comprehensive solution to your card game development needs.

Freelance Platforms

There are numerous freelance platforms from where you can choose talented game developers for your game. These platforms include Upwork, Freelancers, etc.
