Romance manga I like:
Tumblr media
Kubo-san wont let me be invisible
This manga is about shiraishi, a boy who has no presence, basically people can't see him even after a second glance, EXCEPT kubo-san who can see him right away. She teases him but is nice to him. I like it because Shiraishi has never really hung out with people and his friends are super nice to him. Overall very cute.
Tumblr media
I Belong to the Baddest Girl at School
This is written by the author of another manga I like (kyuuketsu Baito Kirishima-kun). A real weak boy unoki thinks he's been shaken down to be the servant of local delinquent, boss of the school toramaru, when in reality she confessed and thinks that he's her boyfriend due to poor communication skills. I think it's really cute, I read it twice and I like the characters. (also theres a gay couple but im not saying who)
Tumblr media
Yankee-kun to hakujou gaaru
Omg I love this manga so fucking much. It's about a yankee with a scar that falls in love with a blind girl. There's a lot of characters that are…not “normal” and it basically says that that's okay. It's all treated with the seriousness that it deserves but it's also nice and cute.
Tumblr media
Hayaku shitai futari
So I actually read this a few days ago and I loved it. A girl and a guy fall in love and start to date, however the guy is from a prestigious family of prime ministers and has to abide by the traditions of his family, the most important of which being, no touching with a girl till he is 18. This was not what I was expecting and they’re really respectful to each other. They fight but they compromise and they make up because they love each other. Its great.
Tumblr media
Shikimori’s not just a cutie
Okay so…this is just a cute fluffy series. Izumi is a boy with impossibly bad luck, good thing his beautiful and cool girlfriend is there to protect him. They have a really healthy relationship with each other and their friends (inuzuka is my fave). It's just a really pleasant experience.
Tumblr media
My dress up darling
I know I know I know everyone is talking about this and marin but i just want to say I really like it.
They’re really respectful to each other's passions. Also marin straight up admits that she likes him to herself which i liked a bunch.
Tumblr media
Kuchi ga saketemo kimi wa
This one is a little different from the rest because it had supernatural elements. Miroku-san the slit mouth woman is to marry highschooler kouichi due to his family's traditions. She says that if she scares him the wedding is off, however kouichi simply thinks that miroku is beautiful and not scary at all.
Tumblr media
Get married when you grow up!
A very silly premise. Chii-kun and tomo-nee make a promise to each other when they are younger that they would get married when “chii-kun is bigger than her” however this leads to a miscommunication as chii-kun thinks that she means taller than her when she actually meant taller than she was when she was small. This causes quite big problems for him, as he is very short and she is very tall. It's very cute.
Tumblr media
Kimi no yokogao shika mirenai
This was pretty short and a simple premise. Arata wants his deskmate sachi to look at him, literally she never turns her head to face him…..because she's kind of shy and is unable to look at the guy she likes. It was short, it was cute and it left me satisfied
Tumblr media
Sekine no koi
OKAY this one is realll different but i want to shout it out because i love it dearly. Sekine is a salary man who is a jack of all trades and loved by women but he really has no passion. He starts stopping by a shop to learn magic tricks by the old man there and develops a relationship with his daughter and ends up taking up knitting as a result. Warning: its very adult and I would give a sexual assault warning. It made me feel extremely strongly and cry multiple times.

Second Chance ch. 18
Tumblr media
Walking across the dimly lit room he moved to stand directly beside the bed. Looking down at the woman occupying it he took a deep breath and let it out in a long sigh. Thirteen days, it had been thirteen days and in that time of almost two weeks this had happened. Thinking back to what Marco had just told him he grit his teeth, his hands clenched into fists beside him in rage. 
Two gunshots, one to her thigh and the other her lower back, only a few inches from her spine, just a little further left and she would have been paralyzed. A long, deep cut along her right hip made from a sword no doubt. Many broken and cracked ribs that had been irritated, the skin over them bruised. Her wrists, ankles and neck had been rubbed raw by the cuffs and chains they had locked her in, her wrists being the worst. Those fuckers had starved her as well as beat her, he hadn't needed Marco to tell him she was malnourished, her hollowed out cheeks and lighter weight when he had picked her up telling him she hadn't eaten in Gods knew how long. She was hypothermic when he found her and many blankets now layered over her to keep her body warm. Sitting down on the floor next to the bed he moved his hand to gently stroke her head. Her face was bruised as well, along with a few cuts and scrapes. Her left eye had a dark bruise the whole way around it that disappeared into her hairline. Cracked and busted lips that had thinned out slightly. Her right eye had a dark circle encasing it. All of that but he found her no less beautiful.
Hearing one of the machines beep he looked over to it and quickly hit the button to silence it. Looking back down he blinked when he saw two weak and hazy e/c eyes looking up at him. "Lass..."
Looking up at the man you were sure you would never see again you tried to figure out if you were dead. Going to move, your eyes instantly snapped shut when you felt the pain all over your body. You thought there wasn't supposed to be pain when you died... had you gone to hell? No if you had he wouldn't be here, well unless it was simply to torture you. That was likely it, he was just your imagination. You had most likely been found by those men and now you were simply imagining Ed.
"Lay still darlin'." he spoke to her softly, his hand gently easing her back down. Pulling the blankets back up he couldn't help but glance to her bandage wrapped torso, the sight making him frown.
His voice, Ed's voice. God he sounded so real. It even sounded like he cared. This was torturous. You wanted to die, you just wanted to die. Whimpering you tried getting some kind of moisture into your mouth. "y..you're nnnot r..realll..."
If it wasn't for the quietness of the room and the fact he was so close he probably wouldn't have been able to hear her. "I am real lass, I'm here." he assured her. His heart ached to know that she thought she was imagining him. Had it happened before or did she really believe he wouldn't come for her.
"W..wwhy..."
Licking his lips he looked her in the eyes as she managed to open hers once again. "Because I love you..." Seeing her eyes tear up he furrowed his brows at how dull they looked, not the usual bright, loving look in them he was used to seeing.
"j..justa nother t..trick.." feeling your heart clench you closed your eyes and felt warm tears roll across the bridge of your nose. This had to be hell, what had you done to deserve this?
Shaking his head he felt that pain in his chest and leaned closer to her. Cupping her face in his palm he brushed away her tears with his thumb. "No, no Y/n it isn't."
"y..you sssaid you didn't... you promised bbbut y..you ttthrew me awway.. jussst like everyooone else..." you cried, your voice breaking to match your heart. "Y..you gave meee t..to those men."
It hurt so much to see her cry, worse than any wound he had ever endured. "That wasn't me, it wasn't me lass."  hearing a beeping he glanced up to see her heart rate dropping he swallowed thickly and snapped his eyes back down to her. "Y/n, y/n look at me." he spoke, but she wasn't listening.
"...wasn't r..real... a..joke... a cruuule j..joke..."
She was panicking, her heart rate continuing to go up and down. With all of the blood lose and pain she likely believed none of this was real. Still he had to do something, he had to break her out of it or he might loose her. Quickly standing he made long strides over to the door and opened it, "Bring him here." he barked out to Jozu and saw his son quickly move towards the stairs. Shutting the door back for now he moved back over to the bed and crouched down, cupping her cheek in his hand while stroking her hair with the other. "Lass look at me. You open your eyes and you look at me right now." When her weak, tear filled eyes looked up at him he dipped his head down to hers. "It wasn't me, I swear it wasn't me and I'll prove it to ya." Looking over to the door as it was pushed open he saw Jozu and Vista dragging the man in and grit his teeth, giving a stiff nod.
"Show her." Jozu spoke to the man.
"I... I didn't know they were going to do that to her... I swear I didn't..."
Seeing the man looking to Y/n with furrowed brows Vista unsheathed his sword and placed it to his neck. "Now."
In an instant the man was changing to look just like him. Snapping his eyes back down to Y/n he saw her looking towards the man in confusion, her tired eyes looking between the man and him. "It wasn't me, I would never say those things to you. He used his devil fruit powers to look like me so he could hurt you."
Knitting your brows you breathed in as much as you could. "Wwhy... I...I don't understand..."
"I was paid to miss. I.."
"You don't speak to her." he snarled, looking back to the man. "Get him out of here." he grunted. Watching them take him out he let out a huff through his nose before looking back down to her and softening his face. She still looked so confused and he could tell all of this was making her exhausted. "I'll explain later, right now you need to rest." Watching her tired eyes try to stay open he pet her head. "Sleep my darlin'."
"E..enola..."
"The child is safe. You're safe." he assured her, her eyes already closing.
"w..will y..you.."
"I'm not going anywhere sweetheart. Now get some rest." Kissing her cheek he watched her lashes stop fluttering as she gave up fighting sleep. Watching over her for a bit he glanced to her monitors to see all her vitals back to normal and grinned softly. Petting her hair he dipped his head to kiss her forehead before standing. He was still covered blood, both hers and that of those pirates. He had made the captain suffer for everything he had done to his Y/n before taking care of the rest of the crew along with everyone on the island that had anything to do with the slave trade. Needless to say he was in dire need of a shower and clean clothes. With one last glance down at her he moved to go wash up, leaving the door open just incase.
.............................
She slept the next two days and not once did he leave her. Marco had come in at one point to heal her some more making him feel bad for how exhausted his son looked. He knew he had pushed himself as much as possible to keep her alive the day before. Demanding that he too go rest he continued watching over her. Zella had taken over Marco's role of giving her pain medicine to help her rest and changing bandages with his help. Every time he looked over her battered body he felt another stab of guilt.
Looking through pictures on her phone as he sat on the couch he had pulled over beside the bed he chuckled at the video. It was her and that boy, Keith. They looked to be younger in the video, maybe late teens or so. He could tell they were in the bar but no one else was there. Watching as the two went about trying to smack each other with the what looked to be wooden poles he huffed out when the boy swung to smack her ass but grinned as his lass swiftly swung the pole and knocked his feet out from under him. She seemed to have decent form, when she was fully healed and ready he would see about teaching her how to use a sword. His woman was no pushover by any means, she was a fighter. Even as injured and weak as she was she had managed to take out two of those pirates on her own. While he never planned on allowing harm to come to her again it wouldn't hurt for him to teach her some basic skills.
Izo had knocked on the door at one point before coming inside to bring him something to eat.
"How's the girl?"
"Good. Marco gave her a check up and concluded she is in perfect health."
"That's good to hear." he sighed, drinking his tea. It was hard for him to get the urge to eat when his starving lass was right beside.
"She's been asking about Y/n a lot. When I was giving her a bath she told me about their time on that ship." Seeing his father's eyes drag away from the woman currently sleeping in the bed and look to him he took a deep breath. "She told me about how when they first got her Y/n was already down there. She said that Y/n stopped them from hurting her and because of it they beat her."
Closing his eyes he clenched his teeth.
"The girl, Enola, she feels very guilty about it." Izo told him then grinned a bit. "She told all of us at supper last night that Y/n was her guardian angel."  
Chuckling softly he looked back to his woman and smiled fondly.
The following day she woke again and this time he had to quickly stop her from moving again. Tossing the book he had been reading to the side he moved to sooth her. "No, no, no lass. You have to lay still or you'll rip your stitches."
Groaning you tried pushing his hands away, "Back hurts." you managed to get out and heard him sigh before he was gently lifting you and helping you sit up.
Stuffing the pillows behind her to help her lounge back he saw her eyes closed in a grimace and frowned. "I'll get Marco to come give ya some more pain medicine."
"No." Shaking your head you finally opened your eyes to look at him.
"Darlin'."
"I'm fine. I don't want to sleep anymore right now."
"Oh not this again." he said with a roll of his eyes. "Stubborn ass woman."
"I thought that's what you liked about me." you said with a grin.
Moving to sit on the edge of the bed by her legs he looked down at her. "Not when your health is involved." he grumbled, untangling the lines going into her arm.
"I'm not going to die from being sore."
Flinching he looked down to her hands. "Let's not talk about you dying."
Hearing how low his voice had went you took one of his hands in yours and felt him give it a small squeeze before his eyes lifted back to yours. Remembering everything you blinked slowly "I rested, now tell me. Why did all this happen? Who paid that man to do that and why?"
Taking a deep breath he continued stroking her hand with his thumb. "It all starts with a woman named Bakkin..." Telling her everything, all of it he watched her eyes stay on him. She didn't say anything for a time but then she asked the question he knew was coming.
"Your sure he's not..."
"He's not my son Y/n. I promise you he isn't. I never slept with her. I'm no virgin lass but I told you the truth, I've never fathered any children, that I am sure of."  Seeing her nod he searched her eyes, wanting to make sure she believed him. Once he was done telling her all of it he licked his lips. "I'm so sorry Y/n. This is all my fault. I promised you I would never let you get hurt and then this happens."
Shaking your head some you looked up into his sorrow filled eyes. " 's not your fault..."
"It is and don't you try to tell me it isn't." he said in a rough voice. Staring down at her he felt that knot form in his throat. "You were dead. I held your lifeless body in my arms lass. I... I just knew I had lost you...." he spoke, his voice thick with emotion. "How can I ask you to marry me when I failed you? A husband is supposed to protect his wife, take care of her..."
"And you think y...you don't?" you asked looking up into his eyes. Taking a deep breath you tried to summon all of your strength to tell him what you wanted to say. "Ed you have been looking after me since you showed up on that damn shore..." Seeing him go to interrupt you, you narrowed your eyes, "No. I'm talkin'. You hush and listen."
"Givin' the captain orders again lass?" He asked with a small grin.
"Right now I'm the captain... you can be the cabin boy."
Not being able to stop the bark of laughter from leaving his throat he smiled softly and looked into her eyes, seeing the light he loved so much returning to them. "Alright then Miss Captain I'm listenin'."
"You didn't fail me." breathing deeply you felt your ribs ache but refused to show pain. "Couples that are meant to be will go through everything that is meant to tear them apart and come out stronger."
Chuckling softly he looked deeply into her eyes, "I thought it was supposed to be the old folks who give the life quotes."
Smiling you looked up to him and raised your trembling hand that he wasn't holding out of the blanket and tugged on one of his golden locks to pull his lips down to yours.
After nearly two weeks of being away from her, to kiss her again was a blessing. Sighing he held her hand in his, gently brushing her bruised knuckles with his thumb. Pulling away after a moment he pecked her cheek and brushed her nose with his. "I love you."
"I love you too." you said softly, closing your eyes and focusing on the feeling of his warm lips, his hand petting your head. "Don't keep me in the dark okay? If something is going on tell me."  you said and felt him nod his head.
"Yes my dear. I won't make the mistake again." he promised her and felt her lips peck his again. Looking over her face and admiring her eyes that looked tired but had that shine in them again he grinned. "You're so beautiful."
"And you're lying through your teeth." you scoffed with a grin.
"Am not."
"I feel like I got hit by a train and I know I probably look like a mummy wrapped up in all these bandages." you huffed, glancing down to your wrapped up torso and arms.
Smiling he shook his head. "Yer always beautiful to me darlin'. Besides as much as I hate seeing you hurt, those bandages don't leave much to imagination." he said with a tilt of his head, dropping his eyes to the wrapped mounds on her chest. Feeling her smack his side weakly and call him a perv he chuckled. "In my defense I was supposed to have already been able to see them. along with the rest of that gorgeous body."
Rolling your eyes slightly you couldn't help but grin at just being back with your true love, "Yea well you might not be that satisfied once you do, their not that impressive." you told him honestly, knowing that with you not eating your 'girls' had dropped in size as well.
"Oh I can not wait to prove you wrong." he grinned confidently, leaning forward to kiss her. Hearing the small knock before the door opened again he felt her pull away and growled as he turned to look at Marco who was standing there with that guilty look again. "I'm starting to think yer doing this on purpose boy."
"I'm..." Letting out a long sigh the doctor looked to the woman when she told his father to leave him alone. "I'm glad to see you awake Y/n."
Moving out of the way while his son went about checking over Y/n he moved to start a bath for her, having seen the desperation in her eyes when she asked Marco if she could take a shower. Not too long later did Zella come in to help her bathe. Leaving the room for a bit he walked out onto the deck for some fresh air and to assess where they were. The little girl had told them she was from Hand island and if he would guess they were about another two days sail from there. From what Rakuyo had told him the island had been taken over by some Marine commodore after his 'death'. He was a apparently forcing all the males to join the marines, threating their families to make sure they complied. He wasn't much looking forward to going back there but he had to return the child to her family.
Looking across to the little girl he saw her attempting to play cards with Blamenco and Jiru. Remembering what Izo had told him he felt his lips lift up a small amount. It really came of no surprise to him that his Y/n had been willing to give her life for the child, nor the little girl being so taken with her. There was no doubt in his mind that Y/n would make a wonderful mother but he wouldn't dwell on those thoughts. Children had not been a conversation they had had yet and he didn't even know if she wanted them. While he wanted nothing more than to have a child of his own he wouldn't force her if it was something she didn't want. Still it was a conversation they needed to have, especially before their wedding night. Now that he thought of it they hadn't even spoke about sex yet. He knew she was a virgin or rather he assumed she was based on the fact she had never even kissed anyone and she turned as red as a beet every time he made a comment about it. Crossing his arms over his chest he let out a sigh, it was a topic for a later time, right now he wanted her to focus on healing and besides they had plenty of time for little ones.
.......................................
Once she had finished her bath he had walked into the room to see her standing by the window, wearing nothing but his shirt. Her thigh had been rebandaged and no doubt the rest of her injuries as well. It still angered him to know his lass had been forced to endure so much pain. No matter what she said he knew he would feel guilt for the rest of his life for failing to protect her. Although knowing that she had done all that to save that little girl made him feel proud. He was honored to soon be able to have such a caring, selfless woman as his wife.
Noticing how much larger his shirt was on her he knit his brows, the thing was like a baggy dress on her as it was and now it looked as though someone had just wrapped a bed sheet around her. Walking up behind her he couldn't help but worry about how frail she looked. Even being fifteen feet in height she was still so much smaller than him, not only just in height but overall. When he had lifted her up he had been able to easily tell the difference in her weight. Now looking at her he was afraid he would snap her if he hugged her to tightly.
Placing a hand on her back as he came up to stand beside her he saw her eyes look up to him, a soft smile gracing her lips. "You shouldn't be standing yet, you lost a lot of blood." he told her but she only hummed and looked back out the window. 'Stubborn woman'. At least if she did go to fall he was here to catch her. Glancing down to her neck he saw the necklace back there and tilted his head. Zella had given it to him when he had come back to the ship and Marco was finishing up with her. His daughter had informed him how Y/n had been holding onto it so tightly in her left hand and it wasn't until they had pried open her fingers that they had found it there. "You kept it, even though it seemed like I had said all those horrible things." he spoke in a low voice.
Seeing him looking down to the necklace you grinned softly, your fingers moving to it on their own. "Of course I did."
"Why?" She hadn't taken any of her clothes that he had bought her or any of the money he had stashed in the dresser. She hadn't even taken any food or other provisions but she had taken the simple necklace he had made her. It wasn't even anything special, just a piece of sea glass and a shell on a leather cord. f she had tried to sell it someone would likely laugh in her face.
Looking down at the yellow glass you rubbed your thumb over the smooth surface. "Because it was the only thing I had left of you." you answered honestly, keeping your head down as you recalled how heartbroken you had been. At the time you had been sure that your necklace would be the only thing you would have that would remind you of your lost love. The only thing to prove he had been real, that for a time you had been close to having someone love you, want you, or at least pretend they had.
Furrowing his brows he looked from it and then to her, feeling a small clench in his chest. Rubbing her back he felt her sway a bit and took her hand in his to lead her back to bed.
"No not the bed..." you grumbled.
"Yes the bed." Helping her into the bed he pulled the covers over her legs just as a knock sounded at the door. Bidding the person inside he saw it was Izo again with a tray of food.
"Brought you something to eat Y/n, nothing too extravagant I'm afraid, Marco said it's best to start you off with something bland." he told the woman as he moved over to place the tray down on her lap.
Looking to the man as he walked over you gave him a smile. "Thank you Izo."
"Of course." was all he said before leaving the two alone again.
Seeing her looking at the food with an uncertain face he sighed. "I know you're probably not hungry darlin' but you have to eat something."
Knowing he was right you reached out for the bowl of rice porridge. Only being able to eat about half of it before getting full you placed it down but he was quick to lift it back up and scoop some onto the spoon.
"You're not done yet." Seeing her go to speak he looked at her pointily, "Y/n eat." pushing the spoon towards her lips she leaned back and groaned that she was full. Sighing he tapped his foot and narrowed his eyes before getting an idea and lifting his chin. "You eat five more bites and I'll take you out onto the deck for a bit." Without a moment's hesitation she leaned forward and took the spoon into her mouth. Once he had fed her four more big spoonful's he grabbed his jacket that one of the crew hand managed to wash her blood out of and wrapped it around her before lifting her up into his arms.
Wrapping your arms around his neck as he took you outside you breathed in the fresh air deeply, even when it caused your ribs to throb. Blinking at the afternoon sun you looked over the deck to see all of Ed's sons and..."
"Y/n!" Enola yelled as she ran over to the giant holding her friend, Unknowingly making everyone else look to her as well.
Seeing his love smile down at the little girl he grinned. Moving over to sit her down on one of the larger chairs he tugged his jacket tighter around her small frame and saw the child quickly climb up to sit with her.
Wincing a little when Enola wrapped her arms around your neck to hug you, you saw Ed move to pull her away and say something but quickly took his hand and gave him a smile telling him it was okay.
"I'm sorry Y/n I... I didn't want you to get hurt I..."
Hearing her crying you rubbed her back. "It's alright. It wasn't your fault and I don't want you to think it was okay." you told her and felt her nod in your shoulder. When she pulled back you brushed her now clean hair out of her face and gave her a smile. Seeing her look up to your beloved you glanced over to him as he crouched down beside the chair you were in.
"I haven't had the chance to formally meet you yet little one, mind tellin' me your name?"
"Enola." she told him with a shy smile.
Humming he smiled at her, "That's a pretty name."
"What's your name?" she asked sitting in Y/n's lap and playing with the damp woman's hair like she had done on the ship.
"Edward." he told her with a grin.
"Are you the Captain?"
"Me? No I'm just the cabin boy." he said and saw all of his sons look to him like he had grown another head but felt Y/n smack his shoulder and call him a 'smartass' making him smile largely.
After being introduced to all of Ed's sons you found yourself being lifted up again after Zella had come to take Enola who had fallen asleep in your arms. Looking to Ed you saw him give you a grin and tell you it was time for you to rest again. While you would have complained you were actually really tired and simply laid your head on his shoulder. Almost in the cabin you knit your brows when you noticed something shining in the water a ways away from the ship. "What's that?"
Surprised when she didn't give him a fuss he carried her back to the cabin but stopped when he heard her speak. Humming he glanced down o her and then out to where she was looking. "What's what lass?"
Looking over the water you tried to spot it again but it was gone. "There was something glowing in the water."
Hearing this he turned towards the sea and scanned over the dark water but didn't see anything. Using his haki he didn't feel anything either. Noticing her still looking over the water with tired eyes he inhaled and brushed back her hair that was blowing in the wind. "Probably just a school of fish lass."
Nodding you blinked and felt him turn back towards the cabin. Glancing over his shoulder you saw it again, two glowing blue dots. Thinking it was just your mind you rested your head on his shoulder.
Tucking her in and giving her a kiss he went to take a quick shower. Once he was out he walked over to the bed and saw her eyes closed. Thinking she was sleeping he had leaned down to give her forehead a kiss and pull the blankets up over her but to his surprise she had wrapped her arm around his bicep and gave a weak tug.
"Sleep with me." you said in a tired voice.
"No lass, you're still too injured and I might..."
"Please. I miss your warmth." you whined. Forcing your heavy eyes open you looked up at him, begging him silently.
Looking down into the big doe eyes he sighed. She really did have him wrapped around her finger, and she didn't even know it. He would give her the world if she asked for it.  Pushing his hands under her he gently eased her over some and moved into the bed beside her.
As much as it pained you, you used all your remaining strength to cuddle up to him as much as possible. Feeling his arm wrap around you and stroke your upper arm you sighed comfortably and drifted off into a peaceful sleep for the first time in two weeks.
.............................
"Pops. Pops wake up."
Waking with a start he snapped his eyes open and looked up to see Marco standing there. Something off made him turn his head sharply and glance beside him to see Y/n gone. Feeling around for her just incase he concluded the bed was empty and felt his heart hammer in his chest. Looking back to his son he opened his mouth to speak when Marco placed a hand to his own lips.
"Come on."
Standing quickly he followed the blond out of the dark cabin and out onto the moonlit deck. "Marco where is y..." Seeing the smaller man pointing out he followed his finger and felt his breath catch in his throat. In an instant he felt his feet move for him and he went to hurry to her but was stopped by someone grabbing his wrist. Looking down he saw Namur standing there. Now that he looked across the deck he noticed the rest of the crew was there as well, only Zella and the little girl missing. When Namur shook his head in warning, his eyes serious, he breathed heavily and looked back to his woman, fear filling him.
She was standing there, on the edge of the deck, right behind the railing. Even though it was chilly out she only wore his large button up shirt, the white material and her hair blowing in the wind. She didn't even seem to notice any of them, her eyes focused on the thing in front of her, the thing that was making his blood run cold. It was like no sea king he had ever seen before with it's blueish-silver scales and glowing blue eyes that were starring at his love. He didn't know wither to describe it as a dragon or a serpent. It's sharp teeth were larger than her whole body and he could make out rows of them from here, the things seeming to reflect the moon. Two giant horns came backwards off of it's head and down it's neck he could see many fins a few shades darker than the rest of him with black veining. Overall the thing was huge, had to be five times the size of the ship.
His heart beat so hard in his chest he was sure the beast could hear it. However it's eyes stayed on Y/n as she stood in front of it with not terror on her face, not fright but wonder. Seeing her small hand lift and move towards the monster he stiffened and took a step towards her but again felt his son's grab him. To his surprise the beast did not consume her but lowered it's head to allow her to touch it's long snout. Seeing her hand rub the creature he watched it's eyes close, a sigh leaving it's nostrils that was so powerful it fanned over the deck of the ship. He heard mummers along the crew, everyone wondering the same thing as him, just what the hell was going on?
She just stood there for a long moment, the monster seeming to bow it's head to her. As it's fins started glowing as bright as it's eyes he knit his brows, was it preparing for an attack? Snapping his eyes back up to Y/n when he noticed her form sway a little he saw her lidded eyes fluttering. Seeing her knees go to buckle he moved forward, shrugging off his sons hands when they attempted to stop him. Getting about five feet away from her the creature's eyes snapped back open and looked to him. Starring back until he reached her he finally broke from it's gaze to look down at her. Gently moving his arms around her he felt her trembling slightly and saw her lidded eyes lift to look at him. When her knees finally gave out he lifted her up in his arms and cradled her to his bare chest. Seeing her exhausted eyes looking up he followed them and saw the beast now focused back on her. Without another moments hesitation it turned it's massive head and went back into the sea, the only proof being the rocking of the ship as the waves slammed against the side. Starring out over the dark water he saw it's tail disappear and then it was gone.
"What the fuck was that?" Blenheim asked.
"A sea king?" Atmos questioned.
"I ain't never seen a sea king that big before."  Kingdew added.
"I think it was a Ceirean but their supposed to be just a legend. A story told to children back home." Nemur said gruffly.
"Well whatever it is I hope it doesn't come back."
"Croin."
Hearing her soft voice he looked down and saw her still looking out over the sea. "What lass?"
"His name... it's Croin."
"And how do you know that?" Jozu huffed out.
"He told me." you said finally breaking your eyes from the water and looking up to meet Ed's yellow eyes.
"Pops' lady speaks to sea monsters." Jiru gasped.
"Well in that case Y/n would you mind askin' your friend to not scare the livin' hell out of us?" Curiel asked in a deep voice.
He said nothing only looked back into her eyes as she stared up into his. Licking his lips he turned towards the cabin. "Everyone back to bed, Rakuyo you're on watch."
"Alright Pops."
"How the hell we supposed to sleep after that?" Fossa grumbled.
Taking her back to their bed he set her down on it and then took her upper arms in his hands, "What the hell were you thinking? After everything that just happened you go and... how did you even get out of bed without me knowing? Why did you go out there?"
Looking up at him you saw his yellow eyes searching yours, fear and worry clear in them. "He called me."
"What do you mean he called you?"
"I was sleeping and then I heard someone calling my name. I thought it was you at first but it wasn't. I tried to go back to sleep but it... I don't know how to explain it."
"Try." he said in a deep voice.
"It just sorta beckoned me. Before I knew it I was out of bed and on the deck. I don't even remember how I got out there I just was."
"Why didn't you wake me up? Do you know how dangerous that was? How foolish? That thing could have killed you, hell it could have killed all of us. You can't just..."
Curling up some and lowering your eyes when they started to fill with tears you felt your heart constrict. "I..I'm sorry. I..I didn't mean to...I didn't even know wh... I'm sorry..." you whispered. You had messed up. You had messed up and now he was mad at you. You had endangered everyone, if something would have happened it would have all been your fault. He was right to be mad. Something could have happened to him, his sons, to Zella and Enola. What if he tossed you away for real this time? He couldn't have someone around that would put his family in jeopardy.
She was crying, he had made her cry. In an instant he was releasing her arms. He had let his emotions get the better of him and because of it he had hurt her. Hearing her whisper that she was sorry as her small frame curled up and her eyes stare down in what he assumed was guilt he felt that clenching in his heart. She had said she didn't even know what had happened, she hadn't meant to do it and still he had scolded her for it. After everything that had just happened he knew both of their emotions were still raw but he also noticed that she was quick to shut down when she thought he was angry or disappointed with her. He knew from past experiences with his sons that it was from her past. More than likely she always assumed the worst, that he would abandon her because she had not done something to his liking. Now after what had just happened he would bet that those fears were even worse.
Closing his eyes he let out a deep sigh and moved to sit on the bed and gently pull her into his lap. He could tell she was tense and so he wrapped his arms around her and placed his hand on her head to make her lay it on his chest. "No lass, I'm sorry. I was worried and afraid and I let it cloud my mind. I just... I can't lose you and seeing you so close to that thing... I thought the worst. I had no right to take it out on you though and I'm sorry darlin'." Feeling her relax a little but not look up at him he kissed the crown of her head, "Please don't cry sweetheart."
Nuzzling into his chest you kept your eyes closed, trying to suck up as much of his comforting warmth and smell as you could. Listening to the beating of his strong heart you breathed out a soft sigh.
They just sat there silently in the dark room for a time. He could tell by her silence that she was still upset. When he heard her let out a yawn he sighed and held her with one arm while he moved her to lay down on the bed. Tugging up the blankets over them as he settled beside her he kissed her brow. "Goodnight lass. I love you."
"Love you too." you said softly.
Draping his arm over her he stroked her arm and felt her relax into his front as she feel back asleep. Leaving his arm there he closed his eyes, if she went to get up again he would know.

Edelgard, Comforted
Thanks for the support once again, @xpegasusuniverse! It was really fun to work on this unlikely duo!
This is a Support Chain C-A between Raphael and Edelgard!
Commission info HERE and HERE!
______________________________
C SUPPORT
Raphael: Huff! *thud* There ya go! A pile of new books, special delivery from Raphael!
Man: Thank you so much for carrying that mountain of books from the old storeroom, Raphael. You did it in one trip, too! I never saw someone carry so many books at once.
Raphael: Haha, no need to thank me! My muscles love to help folks with heavy lifting!
Man: W-well then, thank you, Raphael’s, uh, muscles. I’ll need to file these now, if you’ll excuse me…
Raphael: Sure! My pleasure!
Raphael: Man, I’m really not used to coming here like I should… I can already hear the Professor telling me to study… or my classmates… Maybe I could look for something- huh? Is that Edelgard over there?
Edelgard, on her own: It seems I chose the worst time to browse the library. No empty ladders in sight.
Raphael: Hey there, Edelgard! You look troubled; are the books giving you a headache too?
Edelgard: Ah, Raphael, hello. I suppose you could say that. As you can see, all ladders are either occupied by other students or out of service and the book I seek is quite out of my reach. I do not think even Hubert would be able to get it if he were here...
Raphael: Oh, book searching? I just helped the library guy here with that! Leave it to me! Is that the one with the red cover you wanted?
Edelgard: Hm, if you would not mind to aid me, then I will accept the help. Yes, it is the one with the red cover. Perhaps if I could read the title of the others beside it, I would ask for more, however, as it stands...
Raphael: Hrrrmmmm…!! Hrrrrm! Oh, wow, this is really high! Even my feet muscles can’t make me reach ‘em!
Edelgard: So he wasn’t listening to me. Oh well.
Edelgard: Raphael? Thank you for offering to help, I will simply return at a quieter time to-
Raphael: No no, wait, I got it! You can just sit on my shoulders!
Edelgard: What are you imply- wai- unhand me- agh!
Raphael: You’re as light as you look, Edelgard! You should eat more if you wanna grow up big like Big Bro Raphael!
Edelgard: I’ll- thank you if-agh! Keep steady, I am losing my balance-
Raphael: Whoa, there, I gotcha, Edelgard! Take your time!
Edelgard: I-I have gotten the books; let me down this instant, please.
Raphael: Alleyoop, there you go! That wasn’t so bad, was it? And you got more than one, too!
Edelgard, blushing: I do not know if I should be thankful that everyone seems to be minding their own business or not.
Edelgard: Anyway, I will not let a favor go without a word of thanks. So I thank you for your assistance, Raphael. As rough and sudden as it may have been.
Raphael: You’re welcome! You can always ask Big Bro Raph for help!
Edelgard: ...
Raphael: Huh? Did I say something wrong? Wait! I get it! I did it again, didn’t I? Sorry I just put you on my shoulders like that! It was a force of habit from trying to help my hard-headed little sis!
Edelgard: I suppose you did not notice you were also patting my head just now?
Raphael: Whoa, was I? I guess you remind me of my little sis more than I thought! Sorry about that.
Edelgard: …
Edelgard: It was… fine. It was a refreshing feeling to be treated like a little sister again after so long. Thank you once again for your help, Raphael. Now I need to check these out, if you’ll excuse me.
Raphael: Sure, no prob! You can always rely on Big Bro Ralph, though, alright? Me ‘n’ my muscles will be there to help anytime you need!
Raphael leaves.
Edelgard: Big brother, huh…
B SUPPORT
Raphael: I’m glad Ms. Cook is such a nice lady, she always leaves something on top of the kitchen table for me! Yum, that was a great midnight snack, so now I can sleep like a log to get even stronger tomorrow!
Raphael: Huh? Is that a person over there? Who’s wandering ‘round the pond at this hour? Maybe they’re tryna fish? But don’t fish sleep, too? I don’t think they’d bite… Unless they’re looking for a midnight snack like me, haha!
Edelgard, on her own: ....
Raphael: Hey, it’s Edelgard!
Raphael approaches.
Raphael: Edelgard! What’re you doing up so late? Wait, you look pale, even more than usual! Is that the moonlight or did you eat something bad and got a stomach ache?
Edelgard: Hello there again, Raphael. *sighs* It would have been better if it were a simple stomach ache. As it stands, it was just a bad dream.
Raphael: Oh, alright. So you can’t sleep, huh?
Edelgard: To simplify it, yes.
Raphael: That sucks. I hate it when I can’t sleep.
Raphael: You know what? Take this and this here too. Ms. Cook always leaves me food so I got some to eat on my way back to my room, too.
Edelgard: Are these… cupcakes? As I recall, the dining hall is closed after curfew.
Raphael: Yeah! You like sweets, right? I sometimes see you smiling all to yourself when we’re havin’ sweets week!
Edelgard: Do I now…? How discomposing. And here I thought I kept my emotions in check.
Raphael: It’s fine! I’m sure only people who eat lots like me noticed! Anyway, I always get a real good sleep after eating, so you should eat those and head straight to bed!
Edelgard, smiling: Thank you, Raphael. It seems you are turning out to be most helpful to me as of late.
Raphael: Aw, it’s no problem! Like I said, you can always rely on Big Bro Ralph!
Raphael: I know! If you don’t wanna go all the way back upstairs, why not just crash in my room? You can keep the bed and I’ll sleep on the floor. With how delicious Ms. Cook’s midnight snacks are, I’m sure we’ll be out real soon.
Edelgard: To your… room?
Raphael: Yeah, it’s really over there, I think if you twitch your head a lil’ you can see it from here! I love sleeping so close to the dining hall!
Raphael: Besides, whenever my little sis had a nightmare, she’d come sleep in my room and she’d always have the biggest of smiles the next day! She said I ‘attract good dreams’ or something. She dreamed of eating a cloud one night after having a nightmare so scary she had spent a long time crying! I wish I had dreamed of eating a cloud… I wonder what they taste like.
Edelgard, smiling: I assume they must be sweet. Though perhaps not as much as these cupcakes.
Edelgard: …
Edelgard: If you would not mind, Raphael, I would accept your invitation. It would be a wonderful change of pace to dream of sweets.
Raphael: Alright! Then let’s roll, ‘cause I’m already getting sleepy and I still got some food left to finish!
B+ SUPPORT
Edelgard: You can do it if you want to, Raphael. I must admit I am impressed.
Raphael: You think so? I’m surprised I got that answer right, too! The Professor really is good at what they’re doing if even doing brain stuff is working out for me!
Edelgard: The Professor does have credit for having a comprehensible teaching style, but it is your merit for getting the right answer. Do not undermine your achievements, no matter how small they may seem at the moment.
Raphael: You know what, you’re right! This time I flexed my brain and it worked! Go, brain!
Edelgard, smiling: …
Raphael: I wonder if it would be like this if my little sis were here, too. She’s always been the smart one, you know? She’d be grilling me out along with everyone else, but I think she’d help me just like you are, Edelgard.
Edelgard: Do I remind you of your little sister so much? I noticed she is basically all you talk about after food and training.
Raphael: Hmm, maybe you don’t look so much alike ‘cause you’re more composed, you know? Guess it’s ‘cause you’re a princess and all. But if you weren’t, I think you two’d be like two peas in a pod!
Edelgard: Indeed. I must keep my composure at all times so I can shoulder all that I am meant to have in the future.
Edelgard: And yet, I feel a strange compulsion to allow myself to be vulnerable whenever we are together. I wonder if it is because of your familiarity.
Raphael: Well, I’m nothing if not approachable! And I told you ‘fore, didn’t I? You can rely on me like I’m your Big Brother! I know I wouldn’t mind having another little sis if she were anythin’ like you.
Edelgard: You regard me as family…? Truly?
Raphael: Well, yeah! I’m not asking you to do the same, but if you wanna, I’ll be your Big Bro for the day. Heck, for as long as you need me!
Edelgard: That is… something I have never heard someone say to me before, Raphael. I cannot put it to words on how I feel about this, other than that I DO want to take you up on your offer.
Raphael: Knock yourself out! What can Big Bro Raph do for you today?
Edelgard: It is… Ah, it is rather hard to talk about, now that I actually want to.
Raphael: It’s okay, I know how to keep a secret! Honest. One time, my little sis broke our Mom’s favorite vase when she was realll little, but I told Mom I was the one who broke it ‘cause Maya was looking so sad about it all. They never found out!
Edelgard, smiling: I’m afraid that what I am about to disclose is not as ordinary as that. Can you truly swear to never say this to a soul? Promise on your life?
Raphael: Sounds serious, but don’t worry, Edelgard. I wouldn’t make anything to make my little sis look sad. I promise I won’t tell anyone!
Edelgard: I appreciate it, Raphael. In truth, this is about the nightmare that kept me up the other day, as well as its roots…
Raphael, nodding: Yeah. I’m listenin’.
Edelgard: I have, so often I have almost forgotten how it was to have a restful night of sleep, persistent nightmares that make me relive the past. A past of seeing my older and younger siblings beg for their lives while people cut open their flesh and insert things within their bodies. A past of a gagged me helplessly struggling to be set free of the tight chains that have never truly healed.
Raphael: Your wrists…! Is that why you’re always covered from head to toe?
Edelgard: Scars from a past that refuses to leave me; nightmares that drown out happy times I may have lived with my siblings. They were all full of hope and dreams, Raphael. And they were robbed of it all; robbed of their future by people who simply wanted more and more power.
Edelgard: So this Edelgard von Hresvelg was born, at the cost of my siblings’ lives and my memories of happier times. The only one who remained to change this rotten world, to-
Raphael: Hey, it’s alright. You don’t need to go on while you’re crying like this. Come here.
Edelgard: Crying…? I am? I thought I was beyond that by now; that my tears have all dried.
Raphael: You’re gonna be alright, Edelgard. I can’t do anything to change the past, but I’m gonna get stronger than anyone else and I’m gonna be right there to protect you in place of your brothers who couldn’t.
Edelgard: T-thank you, Raphael, for your kindness. And your warmth.
Raphael: No need to thank me, little sis. These arms were made for huggin’!
Edelgard, smiling: Indeed…
A SUPPORT
Raphael: Hngh… Oomph… Hhngh… oomph! Just one more time…! Hngh… Oomph! There!
Crashing sound.
Raphael: Phew! Those logs sure were heavy, but now I can feel my muscles bulging! I’m gonna be even stronger now!
Edelgard, smiling: (Made for hugging. Right.)
Raphael: Oh! I didn’t see you there, Edelgard! Need something? I was just going to the dining hall. I’m starving, I gotta feed my muscles while they’re bulging. Wanna come with?
Edelgard: I was about to invite you to come with me, so yes.
Raphael: Really? Well, alright, then! Food tastes better when you’re eating with someone else, I always say!
Scene changes to the Dining Hall.
Raphael: *munch munch* You’re eating so little! Here, have a bit of mine! That’s why you didn’t grow at all during these years! C’mon, eat more!
Edelgard: I have had my fill, Raphael, thank you. Besides, I wanted to ask you something. But perhaps after you do not have food all over yourself.
Raphael: Huh? I’m only getting started! C’mon, ask anything you want! Today’s meat is so good I think I’ll just stay here and eat till it’s breakfast again!
Edelgard: Heh, very well then. I wanted to ask the reason why you allied yourself with the Empire even though that meant war against the Alliance where you were born. Oftentimes you’ve mentioned how much you enjoyed the village you grew up in.
Raphael: *snarfs* Hm? But that’s easy! My village is in the territory of a noble who’s on the side of the Empire, so we never really needed to attack it. ‘Sides, Claude’s doing a good job of holding everyone together in the Alliance, so I’m not worried ‘bout my little sis back there. And since I was worried ‘bout THIS little sis here, I had to come with to protect her!
Edelgard, surprised: ...
Raphael: *munch munch* You okay? You stopped eating.
Edelgard: I am… astonished. Are you truly keeping your promise from when we were students? And still seeing me as your little sister?
Raphael: Muh? Aren’t you? I said I’d always help you out as your brother, so if you don’t see me as a Big Bro anymore, that’s fine by me. I’ll still stay by your side to protect you, though! It’s kinda like my duty now, you know?
Edelgard: I… see. That is very kind of you, Raphael, as I remember I keep mentioning.
Raphael: *slurp* Nah, it’s fine. I really just want to help you however I can ‘cause I wanna protect your future. I can’t do anything ‘bout your past but I can always offer up my hugging muscles! See? Hrrk! They’re in top form today!
Edelgard, smiling: As always, I see.
Edelgard: I appreciate everything you do, Raphael. Once again, allow me to thank you.
Raphael: No problem! Now, you gonna eat that or not? Oh, I can ask Ms. Cook to bring out those cupcakes you like!
Edelgard: That would be lovely.

As Promised...
I rewatched the episode this evening and quickly typed out my rereactions in chronological order. Please like this post if you’d want to see it again next week. It’s probably slightly messy, because I’ve never done something like this, but it was fun, and it’s a good insight into my inner monologue. I’ll also get better as the season goes on. Ik I love reading stuff like this on other people’s blogs. 
Overall, I liked the episode. It was slightly underwhelming, because we already knew most of what happened, but it was cute, and I’m excited for the story this season. (and, as someone who has never actually said or believed this before: It really is Our year Blarkes!)
·       Clarke looking at maps, nice callback to s1, #1 earth skills student
·       “at least I don’t have to swim” I didn’t think about the fact that she was at Becca’s house, the ocean dried up, makes sense
·       She’s so freaking pretty I’m sorry wow
·       I always assumed she wouldn’t even try to dig up the bunker until after 5 years, I didn’t realize she’d try to join them at all
·       I’m wishing we saw some of her first moments/days after praimfiya
·       Is it a coincidence that the rubble collapsed after she looked at Lex.a’s throne? I think not lol.
·       “how the hell am I gonna make it 5 years?” they did a good job conveying how hopeless her situation seems, and how long that time really is when you’re alone
·       MAYA AND JASPER ghfbgrkeu I’m so sadd, I’m sooo glad she’s getting to mourn
·       I hope Monty gets to read his letter
·       “realll cheerful clarke, ignore me” loll this cracks me up, so relatable, coping humor
·       “I’m proud of you” *insert sobbing* she thinks she’s gonna die, she Loves him
·       These landscapes are really cool!
·       Her eyes are so blue
·       Idk who she’s thanking for the rain, but I love seeing her smiling at the little things abt earth such as rain, it’s a lot like s1 really when they breathed real air for the first time and the delinquents celebrated the first rain
·       The radiation storms remind me of acid fog in s1 too, I wonder if they’ll continue to be a thing, probably not after 6 years I guess
·       SO the solar panels are destroyed, why does the rover work later in the episode? I’m kinda confused about that
·       Sidenote: the wandering through the desert reminds me of Holes
·       It’s really difficult to watch Clarke breaking down like this, but how much she’s fought thus far shows us that she really does want to survive deep down, it’s just hard
·       Is it weird that I smiled when she killed the bird? I strangely enjoy going back to the basics of survival, finding resources, again, like s1. I had missed that aspect of earth being just earth, nature in its purest form, beautiful and terrifying
·       She’s being reborn in the water <33
·       I love Madi’s little village, I hope they use a lot of that set
·       “God this would be so much easier if I knew you were alive, If I knew I was gonna see you again” GAHHHHH
·       “Positive thoughts Clarke,” gfeuwcvke I love it
·       I even missed Trigedasleng what even
·       Baby Madi is adorable and terrifying
·       It’s an interesting thought that Madi was trained to avoid the flamekeepers and that’s why she was never found, I love little details like this!
·       I would love hearing her talk more about her childhood and parents
·       Okay It’s great that Clarke’s using medical skills again, but she didn’t clean the wound, and she most def should have lost her leg from infection without sterile equipment
·       Madi in the window like a horror movie actually made me jump
·       How many times will they use the same tree shot from the pilot lmao
·       Clarke is lucky Madi didn’t stab her w/ that spear tbh
·       “child from hell” lollllllllllll
·       Clarke’s not the only one good w/ kids, I love how she left the drawing without saying Anything
·       She’s also hella good at manipulating people (in this case it’s in a good way)
·       Little Madi’s smile awwwww
·       Clarke looks so Good in her tank top and w/ the fish Madi taught her how to catch, she’s gonna have so many more Grounder skills now!
·       Still wondering how they fixed the rover
·       Also confused as to why Clarke wants Madi to speak only English (other than for the purposes of the show)
·       “Do you think they’ll come back too?” Because priorities <3
·       Triple G: Green’s green goop <3 + Make algae not war, Te Amo Monty
·       Emori being happy and joking w/ the others and being excited about spacewalks and defending her new friend Raven this is Everything
·       I’m also glad they made a system to avoid talking about the time, and considerate because of how hard this is on Raven
·       I was so surprised by the whole Murphy being separate from the group thing! But it makes sense. I still love him SO much. And despite him struggling a little bit rn he’s still a smiling adorable idiot
·       “you’re not worthless Murphy” SAY IT LOUDER FOR EVERYONE IN THE BACK
·       “We make decisions as a team here” Emori has grown so much I can’t
·       Dropship Parallelsssss
·       “All of them” Clarke’s first instinct = ALL the guns, Bellamy would be so proud
·       Madi hiding in the whole is a Clear Octavia parallel this is gonna be so Interesting
·       “Only choice” ((((ALSO AN OXYMORON BY THE WAY))))
·       Zeke is beautifuul and smart, ((((((((((JUST LIKE RAVEN REYES AHHHHHHHH))))))))))))
·       I wonder if we’ll learn more about the two other non-violent offenders
·       “for starters cause she’s a kid” GOOD REASON thx reasonable man, it’s unfortunate you died
·       “There are no good guys” a dangerous rhetoric to teach a kid Clarke, there might be consequences for that in more ways than one
·       Just let Monty be HAppY, he just wants to be safe and w/ the people he loves
·       I don’t really get Marper but I’m so glad she’s there for him
·       I love Raven and Emori friendship!
·       Murphy knows he done fed up something good he’s just too proud to deal w/ it rn
·       Murven <333 I’ll take them how I can get them, and I love that she doesn’t put up with his bs
·       Ik I’m supposed to be mad at bech.o but I love seeing Bellamy happy and hopeful and smiling and having someone there to support him (plus do yourself the favor of appreciating his kissing skills and imagining Clarke there)
·       Octavia looks terrifyingly beautiful oh my lands

In the Valley of the World’s Tallest Man
I haven’t posted on here in what I thought was a year but was actually October.  This makes me not want me to post here because I thought I had greater distance from the great trump-rage-shame-spiraling of 16. But work was canceled and I quit facebook so what the fuck else do people do? 
haha tumblr has a tab that pops up that reads “let people answer this” when you type a question? Charming. I hate it. 
Anyway, so I am picking up on my long and illustrious history of talking about not wanting to write anything and then pivoting to criticize whatever platform I am not writing on. 
I made my grand return to the internet to encourage you, dear reader, to watch the movie War Machine. I’ve been out of school long enough that I forget the AP way of way of way of? Punctuating? I’ve been out of school long enough that I don’t know words. I liked War Machine War Machine War Machine. I. fuck. how do you turn it off  Brad Pitt is cool. I wasn’t really expecting much because it seemed like it was billed as Brad Pitt’s Grand Return to Broad Comedy that no one was asking for. But it’s really about Stanley Mcchrystal’s fall from grace due to a rolling stone article where he’s all “Obama is a realll pain in my Obummer, I’ll tell you hw-what” something to that effect. Google it. It was also an opportunity for pitt to make a real choice in affecting a funny run. It might actually be a military sort of run. I looked up “why is Brad Pitt running funny” (because when I watch movies I believe they are happening in real time) and I didn’t get a satisfactory answer. Also among the questions that google auto completed or whatever was “Why is Brad Pitt left handed?” I imagine masses of forlorn teenagers with really specific beliefs about the sinister side turning to their devices for answers. Or one dude, compulsively, every day. And that dude is me.
what
But it was an interesting story that I didn’t really know. It had cool flashes. It had Brad Pitt doing his Weird Run to this song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_hOR50u7ek which convinced me I am actually really smart and have a dormant love for classical music even though I don’t know any classical music. So I’ve been listening to classical music mixes on youtube and I hate everything. It’s all boring or it’s like “the saber dance” listen to the saber dance and imagine you had a friend and like that was their favorite song and all they did was talk about the saber dance all the time.They went on etsy and commissioned a saber dance tshirt. Their twitter handle was saberdanceboi69. The twitter timeline was mostly abandoned save for a few posts in March 2013 about some exciting saber dance news. “Could Saber Dance be coming to tulsa???? #SaberDance #FingersCrossed” 
It wasn’t. It wasn’t ever coming to tulsa and then that friend changed jobs and you guys promised to hang and maybe like go to an indoor soccer game. But fuck that guy.  
The one song I like, ever, of any song, I can never remember the name of. it’s like “Valley of the Trolls” or “Troll Valley” 
hah! got it! googled “valley of the dwarfs” and I fuckin’ got it Grieg- “In the Hall of the Fuckin’ Mountain King,Bitch” It must have had something to do with Dwarfs in a valley fighting trolls because I don’t know how else that connection was made. I imagine it being like an old timey version of popular American board game don’t wake daddy. But with trolls. fuckin’ around in the hall of the mountain king where they know damn right where they  aren’t a‘posed to be. Then the king wakes up. Cymbals.Cymbals. A troll with the back of his goddamn dome blown out. 
Another dwarf widow. Another fatherless dwarf child. Who will never grow any taller than his current size.
I read an article about one of the world’s tallest men. Like the old timey kind. Freakshow shit. And he used to like pick his father up and place him on the second floor of their humble home. 
And it was a whole thing. People would come from miles around. It was the family’s primary source of income. This goddamn freakshow picking up his conniving ne’er do well father and placing him on the second floor. There was eventually a disagreement over the split. The split of the take from all these fucking rubes traveling from miles around. The father claimed a healthy 60 percent take for himself claiming he was responsible for the upkeep of the second floor. So as he was the majority stakeholder he started making executive decisions. The most outrageous decision was to sell candy. But old-timey candy. Bad Candy. These candies didn’t even have wrappers. Most of the flavor was derived from whatever was kicking around in Little Sister’s apron pocket where they were housed. Which was almost exclusively dirt.
