His car rolled around the corner, as he laid eyes on you. Recognizing you from your Spree profile picture.
You looked up as you heard the the car skirt up to the curb. U walked up to the driver's seat as it rolled down.
"Uhh, y/n, I'm ur spree" he smiled. You found urself flabbergasted, you were standing In front of your favorite youtuber.
"OH, sorry I'm just surprised, youre literal-" you stopped yourself, he prolly hears this all the time don't bother him you thought to yourself. You hopped into the backseat, not sure how to approach talking with him.
You started bobbing your head to the music looking out the window, "do you like it" his voice shattered your thoughts," I made this beat you know?" He grinned.
"Yeah I actually know, I follow you Kurt." You got giddy. "Woah for real!" He lit up, " I've never met a real life Kurtie!!" You smiled,"as soon as I saw you I git so nervous" you laughed out.
The car stopped at a red light." What's your account I'll follow you back, also do u want a pic?" He gazed at you thru the rear view mirror, before driving pass the green light telling him to go.
"Omg yes; are you sure you're okay with that?"
"Of course anything for my fav Kurtie." You blushed an looked back out the window. Kurr pulled up outside you home. "Come get in the front seat so we can get a pic" He smiled at you.
Getting out of the backseat and into the passenger seat, right next to him. He grabbed his phone off the holder and flipped to the camera app. Fiddling around with the phone in his left hand, he inched his right to your thigh. You felt the heat through your jeans and burned up.
"Okay you ready?" He asked. You nodded in response and leaned in closer, putting up a peace sign and smiling. The camera app clicked and he took a few more. "These look great" He scrolled thru them on his camera roll.
"Oh here let me give you my account so u can tag me" you grabbed his phone and typed in your user. "Thanks, maybe you can ride me next time"he said, you went red. He realised what he just said, "sorry sorry, I meant maybe I CAN DRIVE you again next time." You chuckled and got out. "Bye Kurt!"

Merry Chrysler-
I MEANT TO POST THESE CHRISTMAS HEADCANONS A YEAR AGO
THIS HAS BEEN IN MY DRAFTS SINCE THEN
I'M SORRY CHILDREN YOU CAN HAVE YOUR CANDY NOW
I swear I am totally not biased when I say that I'll side with Shu's headcanon of Lightning being very into singing and then getting caught doing so and being good at doing so while putting up Christmas decorations. Okay. Maybe a LITTLE bit biased.
But I am NOT biased when I say that he and Mater BOTH do it and they have a habit of starting a lyric and waiting for the other to give them the next one so they can duet the rest. It's adorable, but it drives the town crazy just as much.
Red always puts something happy and festive on the old Stanley statue. Some years it's a wreath. Some years he has a red glowing nose. Sometimes he gets little antlers. It's a nice nod to his love for the holidays, and it makes Lizzie so happy.
Finn and Leland used to play that silly Hide the Pickle game on Christmas morning, except with very ramped up stakes because they loved a challenge. Since his passing, Finn's now dangerously taught both Mater and Holley to play. Mater tries his best, though he's not great at hiding them and he's lucky at best with finding, and Holley, well...let's just say that she did such a good job her first time trying to hide it that they all gave up looking, and ended up having to buy another one to use.
Every year, Dusty goes out and puts up tacky Christmas lights for the year. And every year, he and Chug get tangled in it. And every year until 2013, Dottie was tasked with helping them out. Since 2013, every year she puts it up to Skipper and Sparky to do instead. Never fails.
You ever heard of something called a "Drive thru nativity scene"? I've been to one, once. You sit in your car and drive through a live reenactment of the towns and the nativity, and you pay fake coin taxes at certain stops, and dad almost got put in fake jail by Roman soldiers because he wouldn't pay those taxes anyways the point is they have one that they do at Radiator Springs now and over the years they have garnered a lot of traffic. Sally and Lightning only did the Mary and Joseph bit one year, and it ended in Joseph being run over by fans and backing up the line, so he lent his role to someone else (it changes every year)
During his reign over the Lodge, Cad Spinner went above and beyond for Christmas light displays during the holidays, which ate up the electric bill for one and left a fire hazard for another. When Jammer took over his position, though, the annual display had become wildly popular, so - with the assistance and better pay of the Piston Peak fire and rescue - they kept the event running. So long as Ryker stayed close by.
The Smokejumpers pulled an Epic Christmas Prank on - or rather with - Cabbie one year. He had no idea what everyone was giggling about, as they boarded up to drop over a fire. And then later, Maru held up a photo he got of him while he was taking off with them. He rolled his eyes at the sight of the bright red "ELF BACKUP" sign written across his hatch.
Blade's not really a Christmas guy, but, there's one thing he enjoys during the Christmas season, and that's peppermints. He's fucking addicted. Maru will catch him swiping them from the little bowl Patch puts out in the mess hall, and they go through a whole bag in less than two weeks. Addicted I tell you.
Specifically in humanized land, Cabbie has whittled - while Windlifter paints - simplified wooden nutcracker statues, reflecting the features of each of the Smokejumpers. There's five on the mantle in the mess hall for them, and another shelf that holds a handful more for the jumpers past.

I am so curious as to what you'd think about Nina and Hoodie as a duo. They've been two of my absolute favorites (even if Brian technically isn't even a creepypasta) since I was younger and I've always loved them as a sort of big brother/little sister pairing. They are so siblings to me I adore them. What are your thoughts on the sillies..
OHHH this is actually super interesting... but also im worried i do not have a lot to say because they won't mesh very well/very much. but i will try. not super realistic headcanons i think but what do i know... <3
brian isnt very present in my story, partially bc ik some mh fans dont like the crossover very much. and by time ninas in the story, i want him+tim to kinda separate from slenderman as toby and kate take over. he's still involved and coming around since he gets horrible slender sickness(but its from the operator) if he's away too long, but he doesn't live near or befriend most of the main cast..
nina is very present in my story because i love her and she is such a good and fun representation of the fandom yk. but brian is much more realistic and late 30s man, while nina is a very cartoonish early 20s girl. theyre on very different fields character and life wise...
BUUUUUUUUUT they would still meet of course.
she'd be bubbling around the entire cast, meeting people through jeff. people initially think she's in the same vein as jeff, natalie, and toby, with a LONG list of blood on their hands influenced by the operator, so they just don't think much about it. theyre mostly surprised by how cheery she is, but the proxies are the first to find out she's just... obsessed with jeff..... so thats very off putting. brian isn't fond of it.
nina would develop some light slender sickness(again, from the operator) just by being around jeff all the time, but the operator never infected her because he didn't see her as a worthy vessel. so, she would have to come to the proxies about it. if toby isnt in the mood or busy, she'd just have to hope brian/tim are around with some pills that'll soothe the pain
brian is more likely to help. with nina, he'd be quick to take on a more protective role, trying to console her as she cries on the couch holding her head whining about static.
initial convos would go smth along the lines of "do you want some coffee ? or uh kids like hot chocolate huh... maybe tea" "i'm literally in my 20s please tell me toby has weed somewhere" "that does not help with this pain i promise" "how would you know" "haha. water it is."
brian was a major stoner back in his early 20s and nina thinks its fucking hilarious. . . she'll try to get him to smoke with her but he's rlly not interested LOLLLL.... hes like 15 yrs older than her he thinks its weird .
again, he's not around a lot, but she's always happy to bump into him. she'd be squealing n shit 'HIII BRIANNNN how r u :3' and he'd just be like :) hey nina. and then never answer the 'how r u' bc he doesnt actually wanna sit and talk .
its a good change of pace. he's been through hell and back for well over a decade by this point, everyone around him is a sad sack of shit, and he spent a long time just. fighting to be an optimistic, cool guy to hang around . . but .... like.... um..... its hard to be that kind of person after all he's been thru. something about nina just forces that sort of like..... glee out of him . its not a huge difference where he's suddenly bouncing and giggling and whatever, he's still just Some Guy. but he'll be like :) lol .
mayhaps he'd catch her trying on toby's goggles and he'd offer to let her try on his mask. but nina would fake gag and be like 'no i dont want that dirty musty nasty sack on my head' and he'd be like ?????. then he'd say she can wash it and then try it on. which.. as an older sibling.... is the type of shit i'd do just to get my sister to do smth for me that i dont wanna do LMFAOOO. she might fall for it just cuz my dear nina is the ultimate fangirl
i dunno i kinda struggled with this one just cuz in my au, they wouldnt be all that close and the Type of characters they are don't mesh very well, but i am super fond of the concept and would love to try expanding on it more

Usopp has chronic pain specifically headaches and migraines
It used to be chronic headaches after alabasta. They would dull but would last all day. He'd stay inside and avoid bright lights when he gets them. He doesn't really try to get ready in the morning due to the pain. He loses his appetite and is not as cheerful as he usually is. Sanji of course is concerned as is every one else, but usopp says he's fine he can handle himself. It's very noticeable that he's uncomfortable but seems to be functioning he tells them not to worry about it so they respect his wishes. Sanji does keep an eye on him letting him have private moments of vulnerability, holding him kissing his head and whispering words of comfort.
After Skypia after Luffy dropped that weird fruit on his head (He really could have killed him 😭) and mainly wano his headaches got worse and quickly started becoming migraines. Something he kept to himself not wanting his friends to worry about him. He'd power thru them the best he can going the whole day in pain without anyone noticing.
It started to become difficult to hide when it started affecting his vision and hearing. They found him in the bathroom sick from the pain. Franky carried him to his bed while copper brought strong pain meds that knocked him out. Sanji would be in bed with him feeding guilt for not noticing his pain sooner.
Why would you say this-- I had enough with the headcanon of Zoro having chronic pains, I did not need this,,, But I love it, though, big fan of the angst.
After everything they've been through (especially Usopp, who's not built different like the monster trio) it's just normal that he ends up like this. He keeps saying he's fine because he doesn't want to be a burden, but Sanji knows something's wrong. You can't help somebody who refuses to be helped, though, so Sanji just tries to keep an eye on him and give him private moments to rest.
I think Usopp ends up telling Sanji about his pain, but only Sanji. He's the one who takes care of Usopp when his head hurts too much to work. Usopp gets frustrated because he really wants to be helpful and not turn into somebody they have to carry around, but everything hurts too much to even complain about that. It breaks Sanji's heart to see his sniper act this way, and even if he normally would ask Chopper for help, he doesn't say anything because Usopp told him not to. At least not yet. So sometimes they go to sleep earlier than usual. Sometimes Sanji stays up with Usopp when he's the one watching the ship. Sanji hugs him close, kisses his temple, and keeps whispering sweet nothings to him in order to help him sleep. Usopp is only this vulnerable when it comes to his boyfriend. Sanji is being optimistic, though, everything will be okay. He won't let it become too much for Usopp to handle.
But he doesn't notice when it becomes too much because Usopp starts hiding it from him too, and when they find him in the bathroom and they have to take care of him, Sanji feels the weight of the world crushing him completely. His whole universe is crumbling down. Chopper gives something to Usopp to help him sleep for a while before they start asking him questions, and Sanji literally goes into breakdown mode instantly. He repeats "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I should've helped you sooner. I should've known. I'm sorry. Love. I-" next to Usopp's bed. Nobody wants to say anything, but Nami is the one to approach him and tell him that it's not his fault. Nobody noticed anyway. But Sanji shakes his head and explains that he should have known because he knew he was in pain, he just didn't know it was that bad. And then something like this happens:
Chopper: Sanji! I'm not mad, but... If you knew something was wrong with him, you should've told me. I'm your doctor, after all. Sanji: I know. I know. I'm sorry, Chopper. I know. I- Zoro: This is not something you can keep to yourself, curly, you should have said something. If something happens to him- Sanji: Do you think I don't know?! What the fuck did you want me to do?! Zoro: I don't know, tell somebody instead of keeping it a fucking secret and risking his life? Sanji: ... He told me not to tell you. Zoro: Awesome. Next time I get stabbed I'll just not tell you. Nami: You don't tell us now, anyway. Sanji: See? This is the fucking problem. It's not the same! You wouldn't understand and that's exactly why he didn't want you to know. If marimo gets fucking stabbed, he'll sleep the pain away. If Usopp gets hurt, he'll- He won't be a burden. He could never be, but- But he'll think he is. Do you have any idea of how hard it has been for me to see him like this?
Long story short, Zoro and Sanji fight like always but Nami stops them and Sanji stays with Chopper and Luffy waiting for Usopp to wake up. They will eventually find something to help Usopp deal with the chronic pain, don't worry. I just really like angst.

kind of related but not- I'm genuinely sorry to be posting so much or about Lily Orchard, guys. Prior to Courtney coming on and telling us her story I was mostly just taken aback and angry with Lily as "one of those critic types" in my circle of vision.
It sucks -and yeah I know other critics don't want to hear this+Lily will use this fact as an excuse to discredit ppl's complaints abt her. but I think a lot of us were initially exposed to Lily because they knew of andor were fans of her cartoon criticism content. In my case I knew Lily from her days of Bronydom and have watched her make more and more meanMEAN material even w it's not about internal fandom dramacallouts. Back in those days and up to last year I could say of Lilly the same thing I'd say for a lot of people who annoy me online: I think she's a bully. Which is still bad, it's just not 'criminal', inherent. Comparing her to Rebecca Sugar, Lindsay Ellis, Contrapoints or VivziePop would be stupid as she really doesn't have even half the portfolio or wherewithall as any of those people -or even Zena and Poppy, not that they're angels. Lily was/is annoying because she'd use other people's genuine concerns and talking points. There's a certain takenupbyaltlight-term that I begrudginly would love to use for Lily that REALLY hits the nail on the head with her, be it as a fan, a critic or an activist. But I won't use it. Not because it's untrue, but because it's used by the same people who write her kiwifarm pages and misgender her and clearly couldn't give a crap about her if she didn't make them "lol"
But then, I actually looked at some of Britt's receipts and skimmed bits and pieces of what remains of Stockholm (I think you all already know this but @britts-galaxy-brain the links are missing now). For years, I'd known and listened to others honestly harp on Lily as some kind of counter-initiative for her going after their fav foalcon people. I assumed it was more of the same. It's not. Lily 100% wrote cp and is trying to hide it. No not fiction abt young adults that delves into erotic and sexisms; not stuff with aged-up child characters being big boobied of themselves thru the gaze or r34 artists. She wrote cp.
Essense of Thought's and that one hour long video talking about Stockholm were the first real horrifying revelation. Then I read through Brittney's saved messages from Lily and 'Tara'. Then I saw Patch's video.
THEN, Courtney came out and told everyone on here and her server everything we needed to know. I don't abide by everything Courtney says, especially about her abusers but I mean they're her abusers and please stop asking her to like the children who're valued more than her in the lives of her abusers, or at least maybe vent openly not to Courtney directly about your fear for those kids Cameron has. Yeah, I'm also concerned but idk there's got to be a better way to handle this. Anyway, as previously stated, I believe Courtney, Britt, and Patch. There's no way that those people have faked that stuff. I've heard kind of stretched explanations being true, but there's no way Stockholm was "edited by pedos" like Lily's saying it was I know I'm missing a few folks in there but I believe a lot of people have been genuinely victimized by LO and aren't just acting out of transphobia, bigotry.
Of what I can attest based on what I've seen, I KNOW that Lily Orchard wrote 'fluffy' foalcon and is saying she didn't, and also that the woman hates the word "queer".
Of what has been shown to me, I fully BELIEVE Lily Orchard is an abusive, sockpuppeting predator. Not only that, she's hiding behind other predator's existence to lie to her audience of other abused people to convince both them and herself that she couldn't possibly be a predator.
In 2013, what was 10 years from now, there was a controversy in the MLP fandom where a minor rose a (not undeserved) stink abt the askblog Princess Molestia and how it was making light of r*pe, intentionally or not. To counter this, a bunch of mouthbreathing bronies took it upon themselves to prove they weren't creeps by threatening the underrage sa victim, making r*pe porn of her while other mouthbreathers basically said "yeah put she's [the minor] annoying so it's the same kind of evil we're doing, really". Centrists.
Why this matters to me is (CW. CW. CW) you can find a post from Tara Callie, who was almost certainly one of Lily's alts at the time, admitting she found the r*pe art of Pinkiepony "hot", all the while Lily herself was publicly denouncing Pinkie's treatment by the fandom.
Lily Orchard is an awful human being. She does not have intrusive thoughts or fears of acting on those intrusive thoughts sometimes, like me and other people do. She has sexual and violent urges that she hides enough form the public to not make her followers suspect anything. She's twofaced and takes out her probable self-hate by attacking other predators. She's all deflection and lies. I can not believe a thing that vile woman says. Neither should you.
The biggest means of fighting her I think we all can do of is refusing to use her critical tag w we talk about her. Spam her "own tag". Enough hiding and denying who this terrible bigoted abusive woman really is.
Because really, her thoughts on glubshitto or whoever from Owl House are HARDLY the worst of it. Not even.

Shopping - Erling Haaland
word count - 871
warning - none
Request - no
It was Saturday morning, 8 am to be exact and I had just gotten out of bed to take a shower. I found my speaker and connected it to my phone, started my playlist, and hopped in the shower.
Today we had planned on going to the mall to shop for some new clothes and decorations. After we moved to England the new house hasn't felt like home so I wanted to buy some essentials.
I always enjoyed morning showers, even if I was alone or with Erling.
I got out of the shower and wrapped a towel around my body. I started drying my hair and took on some clothes. Today I decided to do some light makeup since I was going to the mall with Erling and there are probably gonna be some paparazzi there.
I walked out of the bathroom seeing Erling awake on his phone. The sight of his messy hair and his tired face was one of the best things ever. How could this man be mine, he's a miracle sent from heaven. 
"Good morning babe, you look good," he said looking at you. "Thanks" I responded. I walked over to him sitting on the edge of the bed. "What do you want for breakfast?" I asked looking at him. "French toast maybe" he answered with his morning voice smiling at me. "Ok, I'll go downstairs and make the breakfast while you're in the shower getting ready" I smiled and kissed him before I walked out of the room.
I started making the France toast and while I was waiting for the bread to soak in the mixture I made myself a coffee. I put a bread slice in the pan and cooked it until it was golden brown on both sides.
I felt a bare chest to my back and two strong arms grip around my waist. "Spells good," he says placing his head on my shoulder. "What, me or the food?" I said smiling. "I was talking about the food dummy," he said losing the grip on my waist. I finished up the French toasts and gave some to Erling.
We finished eating and put the plates in the washer. I grabbed my wallet and waited for Erling to put on a t-shirt before we headed to the car. 
I buckled my seatbelt and Erling started the engine. He plugged his phone into the aux and started playing some music. He put his hand on my thigh and drove to the mall.
As I was going thru my social media I felt Erling's grip on my thigh get tighter. I looked up and saw him looking at me with a smile on his face. I smiled back and kissed him. 
We arrived at the mall and Parked the car. We saw some fans and waved at them. There were some paparazzi there but we didn't mind.
"Any stores that look interesting to you," Erling said. "Yeah, bath and body work," I said looking up at him with a smile. He knew my obsession with candles and never allowed me to go to stores like bath and body works cause he was afraid that I was gonna come out with the whole store in my hands. "fine, but don't be too long ok" He says
After a couple of minutes in the store I picked out 2 candles and Erling started getting impatient with me "can you hurry up a bit we are not looking at candles all day" he said whining. "We've only been here for 10 minutes, calm down," I said picking out one more candle. We walked over to the cashier and paid for the candles.
We headed over to a store that looked interesting. Erling found a hoodie and a pair of jeans he liked. "Y/N, I'm just gonna try these on and see if they fit," he said coming over to me. "Ok do you want me to come with?" I asked. "Nah I'm good," he said leaving for the dressing room. 
I looked around the store and found some loose-fit jeans that had a cool design on them, I put them on my arm to try out later. After some time Erling came back with the clothes on his arm.
"Did you find anything you like?" he said. I showed him the jeans "Yeah they look cool, try them on and let me see how they fit" he said kissing your templet. we walked over to the fitting room. I walked into a changing room and Erling sat down outside waiting for me. "what do you think" I said walking out of the Changing room. "they look good. What do you think?" he said. " yeah I like them, but they're kind of expensive," I said. " let me see how much they are," he said pulling me closer to him and turning me around to see the price tag. " $80, that's not that much, I can pay for them," he said. We walked over to the checkout and Erling paid for the stuff.
After some hours of walking around, we found some stuff for the house and some clothes and we decided to go home and make some dinner.

(saiki k x aftg crossover fanfic idea, I need you guys opinions!!)
-okay so Neil's 16, the same age as Andrew and Saiki now
-his mum died so he decided to flee far away as like a fresh start, so ta-da, Japan!!
-he and his mum were planning to go to Japan next, so they had been already learning the language just so that the new country will be easier for our poor Neil :( also so that the story writing and process is easier with no language barrier :D
-in Saiki's class there's Saiki's main crew, plus Andrew, Aaron, Kevin and now Neil cuz it'll make things more fun :)
-Dan, Matt, Nicky, Allison and Renee are all upperclassmen so they are third years!! I haven't decided yet if I want that asshole homophobic piece of shit Seth in the story, maybe he just lives alone in America
-hmmm I don't think that anyone from aftg is gonna have any psychic powers, boo boring normal people
-the school has an exy team, The Foxes :) things are pretty much same with the team as they are in the canon in America
-Saiki's friends are all big fans of exy so that's why they drag Saiki with them and befriend their school's exy team
-oh no I'm just thinking now how horribly the Foxes uniform will clash with the school uniform😨
-uhhh I think I'll keep it light and easy, no need for angst in a comedy anime, plus the foxes already have been thru too much in canon, let's all give them a nice big break from the canon shit
-yknow, I wonder how Aren will first react to the Foxes when he transfers, I wonder if he'll have beef with any of them
-oh my god and Toritsuka, I need to think of all the Foxes guardian spirits!!! come on guys I may need help on those!!
-Neil's dad or the Moriyamas are never gonna find Neil, if I can't think any good reason other than wanting to keep things not too bloody, let's say that Saiki's secretly steering them away or something :)
-ohhh do u guys think would it be a good idea for the Foxes to somehow accidentally find out about Saiki's powers? hmmm it'd make things a bit complicated, I need to sit on that thought🤔 but like Kevin would be losing his shit cuz like maybe in his mind Saiki could be the absolutely best in exy but he?? just?? doesn't?? care???
-oh u already know that Hairo's on the cheerleader squad and besties with Katelyn😌 like come on the guy's like made to be a cheerleader!! also all his cheer friends probably come to his tennis games n stuff
-I'm thinking about like who are actually friends together, like how is the saiki's friendgroup gonna mix with the foxes?
-Aiura is one of my favs so she's likely gonna be there from the beginning💕💞💞💖!!!
-oh and the school is actually very international and really welcoming to students from everywhere

{The Legion adopting a teen survivor}
____________________________________________
A few words from author: Hi there, friends! Welcome to my first imagines! ^^
Truth be told, writing this took me much longer than writing a fic and at one point I did want to give up on ever writing Imagines - But I pushed through at last, and I'm quite thrilled to be sharing these with y'all! ^^
I personally love platonic content with DBD killers&Slashers, especially where the reader gets adopted by em - I got issues, okay? (^▽^;⁠).
However, there's not much of that sort of content on here, so here I am to fix that~ ( ꈍᴗꈍ)
_
Settings: Platonic! (Platonic! Platonic! ONLY platonic!)
Genre: Just some big, light-hearted fluff♡
!TRIGGER WARNING!: Swear words used here and there, just some teeny tiny mentions of the other survivors being mean, mentions of food and its consumption, light mentions of periods for AFAB readers (don't worry, if you're AMAB, just skip thru! The rest is for everyone!), and mentions of typical DBD stuff! That should be all!
Sidenote: Age of Reader isn't specified, but it's set around 12!
Sidenote: Also, this is written for all readers, but if reader description might be leaning into more feminine sense, then it's really unintentional and I genuinely apologize!
_
And that should be all, bunny-boos! Feel free to read the Imagines now!
Really hope you'll enjoy reading these as much as I enjoyed writing them! ^^ <3
____________________________________________
✧*。After Susie finds you all on your own outside the survivor camp in tears because the other survivors aren't exactly happy about having to take care of a kid, she doesn't hesitate one bit and takes you back to The Legion's lodge with her.
✧*。Surprisingly enough, it doesn't take that long for the rest of The Legion members to give into Susie's pleading and puppy dog eyes, and they accept you into their family. 
✧*。Aside from Susie who's in for it right off the bat, the others take a while to warm up to their new found role of caregivers, especially Frank.
✧*。However, once they've grown comfortable with posing as older siblings it's like they all were made for that role <3. 
✧*。Now, Susie - she's the sweetest, a total guardian angel! Always making sure you're doing well.
✧*。The two of you are constantly found together, especially at the beginning before you build up the courage to approach the others.
✧*。So, at the very beginning everyone knows that wherever they see Susie, they should also expect to see you wobbling close behind.
✧*。Susie definitely doesn't mind that you're kind of clinging to her at first, if anything then it's the opposite! She totally adores you!
✧*。She's constantly cooing over you, babying you, squeezing you, pinching your cheeks and just simply showering you in 24/7 affection (If you tell her you didn't receive affection back home, she's gonna give you 10x more affection) - she low key obsessed, okay?
✧*。Also, supportive to no extent. Susie's your #1 fan in everything you do and even if she might not understand something you're passionate about, she's still gonna be enthusiastic and supportive! <3
✧*。Though a little warning, Susie still holds some childish naivety and she often can't see the harm in things, which means she'll support even the absolute worst of ideas...
✧*。"Oh?? What you saying, Y/N?? You wanna pierce your tongue?? Awesome!! Hold on!! I saw a rusty old needle somewhere in here we could use!!"
✧*。Luckily, there's always one of the other Legion members to stop you two before any real harm is done. Tho not Joey, he's not as childishly naive, but my man is impulsive and very often found supporting whatever dumbass shenanigans ya two came up with </3.
✧*。Susie will also love to give you a makeover if you're up for it! She is really into dark, alternative kind of make-up, but is quite skilled in make-up of any aesthetic, so if you're into anything specific, just ask.
✧*。But don't worry, if you're not into wearing make-up, she also loves giving hair makeovers! She'll dye your hair whatever colour you'd like in a heartbeat (if she doesn't have that specific hair dye, she'll go on a hunt or ask The Entity), will give you a whatever haircut you desire no questions asked, will style your hair in anything specific you want - she'll simply do with your hair anything you desire.
✧*。If you don't have hair and/or wear wigs, she'll try to get her hands on some neat wigs for you if you'd like! And if she can't get a wig from The Entity, there sure are some alternative ways... (Let's say, a forced donation from your fellow survivors...<3).
✧*。Also, now that Susie's officially not the youngest Legion member anymore she can give you the special treatment that was usually reserved just for her before: She gonna call you affectionate petnames!! <3
✧*。Honey, Baby, Sweetie, Muffin, Pumpkin, and many more petnames daily replace your name, and you might as well sometimes be wondering if she even remembers your actual name anymore with how often she uses these with you.
✧*。Susie also always makes sure you're not feeling left out!
✧*。She includes you in everything her and the other Legion members are up to, especially at the beginning of your stay with them because she wants you to know that you actually are a part of their family and not some dirty stay animal they all gotta somehow tolerate just because they can't say 'no' to Susie.
✧*。And the last thing that definitely needs to be mentioned with Susie is that the two of you are quite often followed around by Julie because she insists that the two of you are dumb as hell and shouldn't be left unsupervised.
✧*。She means well though! You two are her precious babies, she worried about you <3.
✧*。Now for Joey - he was made to be a big brother! He's so wholesome and so fun to be around!
✧*。Though a little awkward and hesitant at first, Joey was quick to bond with you and now you are an inseparable duo <3.
✧*。And the two of you have so many inside jokes that it has the others (Frank) going mad <3.
✧*。Now, unlike Susie, Joey actually is trusted to hang out with you on his own, but he's on thin fucking line...
✧*。 Because you know how I've mentioned before that he's real impulsive and he's very often found supporting dumb and dangerous ideas you and Susie come up with? Yeah, well...  he's capable of more than that...
✧*。He's very much capable of coming up with bad ideas on his own!
✧*。He's proven that that one time he thought that teaching you how to do a backflip on the roof of their lodge was just the best possible idea for how to spend the afternoon...
✧*。 He's been on Julie's and Frank's watchlist ever since </3...
✧*。However, in all seriousness, hanging out with Joey is probably one of the best experiences you can get.
✧*。Joey is fine with doing anything you want no matter how silly it could be for other people, Joey doesn't judge and you can count him in in whatever activity will make you happy! <3
✧*。You wanna have a tea party? Hell yeah, let's do this! You wanna play videogames? Absolutely! You wanna watch the crappiest shows on TV and make fun of them? Yes, please! You wanna ramble and infodump about your interests? Go on, he's all ears!
✧*。There's really not a single activity this guy'd say no to! Especially when it's you asking <3.
✧*。And even if Joey is rather an outdoor person, he doesn't mind if you'd prefer to stay inside <3.
✧*。Speaking of Joey liking to be outside, Joey's #1 activity of all the time is exploring places and trinket hunting. So, if he's got the opportunity, he's taking you with to do exactly that!
✧*。But like I've said, there's no need to worry, if you really aren't an outdoors person, Joey will never force you and will settle with whatever activity you pick. 
✧*。And speaking of trinket hunting, whenever Joey's out exploring, he always and I mean always comes back with something neat he's found and thought you might like <3.
✧*。And if you ask him to search for something specific like a chocolate bar, a book or literally anything else, he will search and in most cases will end up finding the exact thing you asked for.
✧*。Also, Joey's a physical guy, so similarly to Susie's case, you're getting tons and tons of physical affection!
✧*。Throughout the day you get a head pat here, a playful punch to the shoulder there, you get your hair ruffled up (as long as you're comfortable with it), and of course hugs! Lots of hugs! Cuz ma man gives the best hugs ever TwT.
✧*。Seriously, a hug from Joey fixes everything <3.
✧*。And this is also one of the reasons why Joey's the one comforting you the most.
✧*。Joey will hug you warmly until your sorrows go away. And If his hugs don't help, he will listen to what troubles you for no matter how long without judgement and though he might not always have an advice to share, he'll try his hardest to help out <3.
✧*。Alright, onto your third big sibling - Julie!
✧*。Julie is the mama of the group, and I take no criticism for that.
✧*。Julie wasn't really that quick to open up and accept you as a part of their little family, but that's just how Julie is and it's nothing personal.
✧*。 However, she was actually the first one to give into Susie's pleas to keep you.
✧*。(to which Frank threw a hissy fit about Julie playing favourites and always allowing Susie everything - Okay I'm exaggerating but... kinda am not...).
✧*。Now, the beginnings with Julie were kind of tough - Julie was very distant, and though she did interact with you here and there, the interactions felt forced.
✧*。But with how much time Julie spent keeping an eye on you and Susie, she grew comfortable with you much faster than Frank.
✧*。And once you've won Julie over, there's no going back - you're her child now and she ain't giving you to nobody, no, no, no, hands off!
✧*。Julie now treats you similarly to how she treats Susie - she's really gentle and caring with you, and one might tease her and say she's grown soft.
✧*。BUT! That assumption couldn't be further from the truth!
✧*。Because sure, Julie may seem like she's no longer as tough when she's with you or Susie (and occasionally Frank and Joey), but everything changes the moment somebody tries to cause harm to someone she cares about.
✧*。Then she goes mama bear mode, and boy is she merciless...
✧*。And since you're a part of Julie's family, the statement listed above applies to you too <3.
✧*。Now, going back to my statement about Julie being the mama of the group, Julie is the one who takes care of cooking and caring for injuries.
✧*。So, when you've got an injury, Julie is there for the rescue!
✧*。No matter if big or small, Julie gives it her best when treating an injury, and though she may scold you for not being careful enough and have a frown on her face, she is gentle when handling the injury.
✧*。And very often, after Julie is done scolding you and treating your injury, she sighs as her expression softens up and she gently says either something like a reminder to be more careful or she says something mean (but affectionately) like how you're a klutz and such. And no, there's nothing in between <3.
✧*。And if your injury's been really bad, she'll even softly kiss your forehead and affectionately pat your shoulder <3.
✧*。Now, Julie isn't really the most openly affectionate person, and despite being quite soft with you, it can be hard to always believe she cares.
✧*。However! Julie has her ways of showing she cares, and one of them is through cooking!
✧*。Julie is quite a good cook, hence why she's in charge of making meals for the Legion.
✧*。And Julie's skill in cooking comes in handy especially when you're having a rough day!
✧*。Julie isn't much for comforting as she feels real awkward doing so, but she's a great listener! So, very often when you're having a tough time, she'll have you cook or bake with her.
✧*。Julie knows cooking or baking can help you take your mind off things (that's a fact! I often bake when in a gloomy mood and it helps!) and that's why she has you partake in this activity.
✧*。And doesn't matter if you'll open up about the issue or not, it's guaranteed this activity will make you feel better. But if you feel like talking or ranting, she'll listen to you intently until it's all off your chest <3.
✧*。And speaking of going through a tough time, while Joey is the best at comforting, Julie is your to-go person when you've got a problem and/or you're in need of an advice.
✧*。Julie is quite wise and she's got some really good advices for all sorts of problems whether it's a simple or more complex problem.
✧*。And if your problem requires an action rather than an advice - for example if the other survivors are bullying you - then you bet she's taking action without the slightest bit of hesitation. She gonna go mama bear mode ᕦ⁠ʕ ✩ᴥ✩⁠ʔ⁠ᕤ.
✧*。Also, though Julie isn't very strict or anything, she does have some ground rules with you - though, there's not like a list of them or anything!
✧*。Basically, Julie has those kinds of rules that go without saying. Brush your teeth in the morning, don't eat sweets before dinner, you know, these kinds of stuff.
✧*。And she also expects you to do what she tells you - or more like reminds you - to do, like when she tells you to clean your room and such.
✧*。But again, she doesn't really dwell on having you follow her every command, and she does let things slide quite often.
✧*。She doesn't like shield you from everything nonstop, and she lets you make your own decisions, and if that decision happens to be poor, Julie simply waits for you to learn from it because she sees is as a "No action goes without a consequence " kinda lesson.
✧*。All in all, Julie is responsible but very chill ^^.
✧*。And now onto what y'all surely been waiting for - we gonna talk bout Frank!
✧*。Now, Frank...
✧*。As you've probably guessed by now, Frank was the one whom it took the longest to warm up to you.
✧*。Frank didn't like you at the beginning... or he at least tried to make it seem like he didn't.
✧*。Because pretending to hate you was much easier than admitting that he was actually scared you were gonna replace him.
✧*。You see, Frank grew up being unwanted. No family ever kept him around and no friends cared enough to stay in touch.
✧*。He always had his hopes up when a new family took him in, only to have all of his hopes crushed and be sent away after a while.
✧*。And after this scenario repeated over and over again, Frank gave up on finding a place to where he'd belong and became the gruff and closed off person he is today.
✧*。And this is why his friends are important to him, because they're the only people who ever wanted him around and who genuinely cared about him.
✧*。And so, when you came around and stole all the attention, Frank started to fear that you're gonna replace him and steal his friends - his family - from him.
✧*。Though, Frank didn't really try to get rid of you nor did he treat you poorly - like he most probably would if he really did hate you.
✧*。 Instead he avoided you and tried to completely ignore your existence, which still kind of hurt...
✧*。But the other Legion members caught on quick, and went on to talk with Frank about the whole thing (mostly Julie did).
✧*。And after lots and lots of reassurance, Frank realized that the two of you really weren't competing for his friends' love nor the place in the group.
✧*。Not only that, but he also realized that you were similar to him - you were alone, and you were just looking for a place where you'd feel safe and wanted.
✧*。He realized you were looking for a home and a family just like he had been for years.
✧*。And after that, Frank's decided that his family would now be your family too, and he'd be the best eldest sibling you could ever have <3.
✧*。Now, believe it or not, but Frank is taking his role of a big brother very seriously and responsibly! Shocking, right?!(⁠๑°⌓°!!๑)
✧*。Like, one would think that Frank would be a real shitty and very irresponsible role model, but he's actually not! :0
✧*。He's genuinely trying to be that kind of person he needed when he was your age ;w;.
✧*。Though, he might be overdoing some things sometimes without really realizing it - but it's honestly sweet, considering it's Frank we're talking about ^^".
✧*。Frank's simply trying to give you everything he himself didn't have growing up <3.
✧*。Now, speaking of which, Frank's growing up phase was really difficult, he had to figure out everything by himself and always depend on himself.
✧*。And he wants the exact opposite for you, and so, he teaches you everything he deems important and makes sure you can rely on him!
✧*。And though Frank is a high school dropout, he's actually really wise and has a lot of knowledge of how the world works!
✧*。So, he's got stuff to teach you about for sure! Yet still, most things Frank teaches you are practical and often focused on survival.
✧*。Some of the things he teaches you are, for example: self defense, how to handle a knife, or some survival tips as what to do when you get lost and such.
✧*。But don't worry, he plans on teaching you general stuff too, especially those kinds of stuff you ask your parents about when you're slowly becoming an adult.
✧*。For example, if you're gonna start growing facial hair, he's gonna teach you how to shave, or if you're gonna get period he's the one explaining it - No, I'm not kidding about the period one!
✧*。(Susie is too embarrassed and Julie feels too awkward about it, so, if you're ever supposed to be getting period, Frank's explaining it cuz he literally doesn't see why he should be grossed out or have a problem with it!)
✧*。Now, about overdoing things - what Frank overdoes the most is how much he's protecting you.
✧*。While Julie doesn't really try to shelter you and lets you learn from your mistakes, Frank's nearly losing his mind when there's a possibility of you getting hurt.
✧*。Like, if you're going out, you gotta tell him where you're going and actually even gotta ask him if you can go out! Even the others gotta let him know when they're taking you outdoors or else he's gonna flip!
✧*。And there was actually that one incident when Joey and Susie took you outdoors when it was snowing because they wanted to build a snowman with you, BUT they forgot to give you a jacket (since they themselves walk around in just hoodies)!
✧*。Lemme tell you- Frank nearly lost his shit when he found out!
✧*。And let's just say Joey and Susie been making sure you always have a jacket or a coat on when going outdoors ever since...
✧*。Also Frank's even went to threaten talk to the other killers and warn them that you're an honourable member of the Legion and they better not even think about hurting you.
✧*。I mean, Frank would probably lose a fight with most of the killers, but it's the thought that counts, right?
✧*。Luckily, the other killers have no problem with you being around, some of them pay you no mind as long as you don't bother them (like Evan or Michael) and some of them are thrilled to have a kid around (like Anna, Bubba or Danny).
✧*。So, you're pretty much safe <3.
✧*。Another thing to mention is that you can talk to Frank about anything - he may not seem like it, but he's really chill and open minded.
✧*。Frank never really had anyone to talk to growing up, so he wants for you to know you can always talk to him if there's something on your mind <3.
✧*。Whether it's something serious you want to discuss, or just something you just wanna share, Frank's always there to hear you out and assure you that you matter.
✧*。This comes in handy especially if you're feeling insecure and/or are having irrational thoughts!
✧*。Although, Frank may not give as good advices as Julie, his level-headed attitude and opinions can help you rationalize and collect your thoughts.
✧*。He usually just gives you more logical view of whatever is bothering you and helps you think about it more rationally.
✧*。Like for example if you feel like you can't be yourself because then people won't like you, he'd ask you things like "and why would you even want to be liked by people who can't accept you for you?" and such.
✧*。And speaking of people liking you, if there'll ever be the chance of you getting a love interest in the entity's realm, you bet Frank's gonna pull some shit like: "No, Y/N, you ain't dating nobody until you're 18".
✧*。And if your love interest returns your feelings, Frank's the one giving them the talk.
✧*。And he might or might not try to sabotage - he means well though, he's just scared of you getting your heart broken <3.
✧*。And if that's to happen, oh boy... shit gonna get real...
✧*。All in all, the whole Legion got your back in any situation, and they're the best big siblings you could've ever asked for <3.
✧*。They all adore you, and they aren't giving you to nobody. You're their little sibling. You're a part of their family. You're a part of their Legion. You're theirs <3.

Chapter 9
Snow Day and Trauma
"Snow day, hurray so magical and new. There's so much we can do! " Raph sings while pushing a huge ball of snow down a hill
"Snow Day no training only fun, We've only just begun! I'm glad I'm here with you!" sings Leo while also pushing a huge pile of snow down the same hill that ends up rolling onto a slide and landing on Mikey while he's making snow angels with Mayhem.
"Snow day hurray! Barometric pressure is so low but my heart is all aglow! Revenge up my TECH BO!" Donnie sings while using his tech bo chain saw to cave a Jupiter Jim snowman.
"Snow Day! Our snowman is the best, Jupiter Jim fans will attest.
Oh Me Gosh, My coats a VEEEST!" Mikey sings while adding some accessories to the snowman and the sleeves of his coat fall apart thanks to Donnie accidentally cutting them off.
"Snow Day! Hurray! We all should be so proud! Snow Day! All together sing out LOUD!" April and I sing together while sitting on Raph's shoulders to place the space helmet on the snowman's head.
"SNOW DAY! HURRAY!", we all sing together
"Great job fam and Donnie I guess," Leo says sarcastically
"If I wasn't so enchanted by our replica of Jupiter Jim I would probably say Look over there PUSH!" Donnie says while pushing his twin into the snow
I laugh hysterically and end up falling into the snow. Raph puts up a flag from his favorite Jupiter Jim movie which almost immediately gets shut down April and Donnie. They then suggest their favorite movie but Leo, Raph, and Mikey laugh at the suggestion. Mikey brings up the fact that they only laugh during the opposite's favorite movie because of Raph's hard cranium-breaking stuff as he falls asleep.
"Yeah, my head takes damage like a boss! Leo hit me!" Raph says confidently
"Oh please let me!" Donnie says while turning his Tech bo into his rocket hammer.
Leo and Mikey tackle him, I fold my arms and pout a bit because I kind of want to see if Raph's claim is true.
"Wait a minute Aqua hasn't said which movie she likes," Leo says while smirking
Everyone turns their attention to me and I flip Leo off for stirring the pot.
"Look guys, I don't have a favorite movie-" I say but I'm cut off by Mikey
"It's ok Aqua we know our movie is your favorite" Mikey says while pulling me into a hug.
"Uh nuh uh, our movie is her favorite" April says while squishing me in her bosom.
"Can't breathe April" I muffle while pulling away
One of Donnie's claw hands from his Tech shell pat me on the head, "It's ok you don't have to say it out loud l know in my heart where your loyalty lies" says Donnie
Little did we know Ghost Bear was still holding a huge grudge against the Turtle brothers and seeing us having fun and our light-hearted arguing he decided to try and sabotage our snow day. Put of nowhere a snowball hits Raph hard and he starts accusing Mayhem of being the culprit. Which causes us to mutually agree on a snowball fight to settle our differences.
"Yes last player standing gets to fly their team's flag," Raph says
"Ok, we're up for a friendly game, no safe base, no weapons, NO MERCY!" April says menacingly as I Crack my knuckles.
"Guess I'm on ] team, which is the winning team" I giggle
Donnie uses a mechanical claw hand to grab me and place myself next to himself. I blink a few times and look at him, while Mikey lists off-limit types of snowballs.
"We aren't savages," Mikey says after listing them off
"Speak for yourself", Donnie says evilly while stroking a snow skull.
Ready, set, SNOW!", Raph yells and the fight commences
We start throwing snow at each other and giggling. April and Mikey are sledding down a hill throwing snow at each other until his sled slips up a slide and he's sent skyward. Donnie and Mayhem get hit by Leo's snowballs, I take my revenge and start creating snowballs with my powers and tossing them with my vines at him. Apparently one of my snowballs hit my Dads while thru were having a relaxing day out in the snow. But I was having too much fun to notice, I sneak around looking for my next victim but I end up in the crossfires of Donnie's mechanical claws showing absolutely no mercy while throwing snowballs. Raph calls a time out and we have a cocoa break. I add whipped cream to everyone's cup spray some in my mouth and gulp it down with my cocoa. Mikey ends up landing in the middle of our circle and I hand him a cup. I put a tiny dollop on Donnie's snout and giggle while he tries his best to lick it off. I start to wheeze and laugh and lean onto April for support. April the sneaky person she is snaps a quick video of it.
It's hard to believe that a few weeks ago tensions were high after escaping from my now estranged family and Draxum.
×Flashback×
( ⚠️ WARNING This segment discusses self-harm, panic attacks, vomiting, and blood ⚠️)
3rd POV
When you guys got back to the lair things seemed to go on as normal but even though everyone acted like they knew you'd never be helping the Foot Clan they had their suspicions, Splinter told the boys and April to keep a close eye on you. Everyone was able to attempt business as usual, all except Donnie. It was extremely hard for the purple-clad turtle to wrap his head around the fact you associated with the enemy so to speak, and he started withdrawing from you. Less time in the lab watching him tinker with a new invention, no late-night coffee runs, and even movie nights weren't the same as he stayed locked in his lab giving the excuse of coming up with a new scientific discovery or he'd just up and leave the lair going on "patrol".
It all came to a head when you came to the lair unannounced with a few boxes of pizza and a new game to play with the boys. Even though you live with them and have your room there now, you usually let them know when you are on your way home. Making your way to the kitchen you see no one is there, so happily carrying the boxes you start searching for the fam, hearing voices coming from the TV room you're about to make your presence known but hearing your name being mentioned you hold off on getting their attention and listen in from the shadows.
"My sons, we cannot let the Foot Clan continue collecting the rest of the armor. We must remain vigilant and continue your patrols for any unusual activity. Now how goes the surveillance on Aqua?" Splinter stares while pacing back and forth
"Nothing out of the ordinary Pops" Raph says
"Yeah, it's almost the same routine with her every day, school, swim practice, sometimes choir rehearsal, a quick trip to the corner store for a snack, a detour to the library, and then she comes home," Leo says unamused while fiddling with his sword and April is texting on her phone.
"I see, at any time my sons the Foot Clan can contact her and recruit her once more-" Before Splinter can continue he's cut off by Donnie.
"I put a tracker on her phone so-" Donnie was then interrupted by his twin.
"You mean to tell me this whole time we could have known her location without having to physically spy on her?" Leo shouts as he points at Donnie with his sword.
Soon the brothers and April start arguing but the sounds are muffled as your ears feel like they are filled with cotton and your purple eyes well up with tears. They were keeping watch over you, they didn't trust you. Your heart clenches in your chest and it's like the wind is knocked out of your lungs. The immediate reaction is to flee so you do so, dropping what's in your arms, quickly making your escape out of the lair and into the bustling streets above.
Once the pizza boxes hit the floor the arguing stops, quickly looking towards the sound they see the boxes on the floor and quickly put two and two together. Looking at each other they nod and start searching for you. Splitting into groups April and Splints, Leo and Mikey, and Donnie with S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N. April starts blowing up your phone with calls and texts while riding her bike, Leo jumps through his portals, Mikey swings from building to building, Raph jumping from rooftop to rooftop and Donnie hovering with his rooters from his battleshell while looking at his arm remote to track my location.
Aqua POV
After hearing the conversation I made my way to my comfort spot on top of a high skyrise rooftop. Once there I start heavy breathing, trying to take in as much air as possible but my lungs are burning from my uncontrollable body-retching sobs, I clench and claw at my chest trying with the fruitless effort to stop the pain I feel in my heart, angry red marks crisscross my chest as blood starts to trickle down, I cross my arms trying to stop my body from trembling, piercing my skin with nails leaving half moon marks and pulling them down my arms creating bloody scratches. It starts to rain, I know the classic sad scene from the movies. My hot tears running down my cheeks are a stark contrast to the cold rain that's pelting my screaming skin, I could use my powers to direct the rain from hitting me but it felt refreshing. Seeing the tracker on my phone blinking, I open up the back of my phone not caring that it gets wet, yanking out the tracker, I stare at it wanting to destroy it but knowing Donnie it would be near impossible. finding a pigeon, and attaching it to it, watching it fly away thinking about all the signs I missed or just chose to ignore. What hurt the most was how Donnie distanced himself, going from being close friends to strangers in a matter of days.
Looking down at the lights below, I dangle my feet on the edge of the building and swing my legs, pushing my now-wet hair that clings to my face, wiping my face and slowly calming myself, but my sadness was replaced with anger. Clenching my fist I punch cement flooring and it causes a huge dent in it, before I can process my shock my eyes start burning, closing them tightly and rubbing at them profusely once the pain subsides and I open them the world looks different, everything is more vibrant with color, I could see heat signatures from the people inside the building, the lights from the surrounding buildings and streets below blind me. I look at myself in a puddle and see my eyes have turned cat-like and are a bright glowing purple just like in my nightmares. I jump back and look at my hand that is now no longer a hand but a red tentacle-like appendage but as quickly as I see it, it turns back into my hand.
"What's happening to me?"
Donnie POV
Weeks have gone by without any word from Aqua. I can't help but think I had some part of her disappearing. April hasn't seen her at school but somehow her assignments are turned in on time and she's being marked as present for classes. How this is possible I know not, but Aqua is quite capable of hacking into the very mediocre school computer security to adjust some things. I tried hacking in myself to find her location but she has deleted her digital footprint and her IP addresses change from state to state or country to country so I can never pinpoint her location, which is very frustrating, to say the least. It didn't help that we were sent on a wild goose chase when she attached the tracker I placed on her phone to a pigeon
"Clever girl"
The pressure is on to find her and hope she hasn't been taken back to the Foot Clan. Looking back at the recording, seeing her face go from her usual happy full-of-life expression to a look of pure betrayal and anguish is unbearable. We've exhausted all avenues to find her, it's as if she never existed. All of us including I reluctantly had sessions with Doctor Feelings about our "feelings" on the situation. But the thing is I don't want to feel, emotions are useless to me so all I've done during these sessions is listen to how everyone is handling this. Mikey has tried to come and have one-on-one sessions but one day I cave.
"Alright Doctor Feelings is in session, You have the floor," Mikey says hesitantly
"Sigh, as you know Feelings aren't my thing, I find that they can hinder one's mind and cause people to react in not productive ways. However, I've been feeling these unnecessary things lately, and well..."
Mikey listens intently and thankfully doesn't interrupt
"I feel as if I failed one in finding her and two in being a good friend, I-I never should have doubted her and pulled away like I did."
My shoulders start to relax as I get these "feelings" off my chest and the tightness in my plastron starts to dissipate slightly.
"I just want to find her..."
Mikey walks over placing a hand on my shoulder, which causes him to stiffen slightly. The moment is broken when Leo barges into the lair shouting for help. Rushing out into the atrium and seeing a bundled-up person in his arms.
"It's Aqua and she's very sick," says Leo panicking
The purple-clad ninja immediately jumps into action instructing hid twin to bring her to the Med Bay. Once I'm placed on a med bed and Leo's hoodie is removed from her the sad state of her condition is revealed. It has now started to become cold outside and he can see my chapped cold bloodied lips, uncontrollable shivering body, pale ghost-like skin, and skinny fragile frame. Mikey brings in warm blankets, Leo grabs some IV fluids, S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N sends a group message that they found me and soon everyone crowds around in the room looking at their friend/daughter. Donnie is busy working to try and get her as comfortable as possible.
"She has pneumonia, we will have to quarantine her and give her plenty of fluids," The purple terrapin says.
Closing off the area and donning PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), Donnie inserts the IV into her, wrapping her in a warm blanket but not before noticing the bandages that encircle her arms and shoulders, staring at her sunken pale face he couldn't help but gently stroke her cheek, wondering where she was and what she did to cause this. He attached a heart monitor and soon the sound of her thumping heart fills the room. Sighing long and deep, he sinks into a rolling computer chair, taking his palms and covering his eyes while shockingly a few tears escape his eyes and 6 onto his lap, hearing footsteps he quickly wipes them away and looks in the direction of the noise.
Leo walks in with a solemn and understanding look on his face. He placed his hand briefly on his purple twin's shoulder. He started explaining how he was on a pizza run and he ended up seeing me on a rooftop meditating, he tried to get her attention but it was like she was in a trance and no amount of tapping, shaking, or yelling snapped her out of it. Covered in a light layer of freshly fallen snow he removed her hood and saw the state she was in fearing the worst he portaled both of them back to the lair. Donnie nods his head slowly and brings his attention back to his friend hoping she will wake up soon.
Soon Master Splinter comes to visit, Donnie hasn't left her side just in case she has someone there when she wakes up.
"What can cause her to be in this state?" Donnie says sadly
"My son the human brain is one mysterious thing, Perhaps she experienced such emotional pain and trauma that in order to escape the feeling she performed ancient deep meditation technique. Very powerful and dangerous if not done properly. While in this state your body and mind go into a deep sleep, but to survive the body starts to eat away at itself to stay alive. She must have been in this state for a very long time to turn out like this." Splinter said
"How long will she continue being in this state?"
"I know not, but all we can do is help her body recover"
And so he did, as the days went by Donnie routinely changed the IV fluids, inserted antibiotics into the fluids and added ointment for her wounds that were now turning into scars, April would give her sponge baths, brush and style her hair, and talk to her about her day at school. Each member took turns talking to her as she was in her Sleeping beauty state. Donnie would go on his info dumps about his projects and quietly beg you to come back.
"Please come back to us, to...me" He whispers
One day when Donnie was finally convinced to eat something he reluctantly went to the kitchen with his family, Mikey made dinner and was plating Donnie's food when he heard the heart monitor pick up its thumping pace, dropping the plate he quickly made his way back to the med bay and sees that her eyes are open.
Aqua POV
Something was calling out to me, I don't know for how long but the darkness had me feeling so safe and secure that I didn't want to leave. I heard each member of the turtle fam talk to me and it made me think of the happy times but the dark shadows reminded me of the hurt they caused so again I didn't fight it. But I finally decided I needed to wake up when I heard Donnie beg me to wake up, opening my heavy eyes was no easy feat, the darkness tried its hardest to keep me. I broke through it and saw dim lights, I heard a heart monitor thumping away at a fast pace and slowing down as my eyes and body started to adjust. I hear the fast-moving pitter-patter of feet, turning towards the noise I see an out-of-breath Donnie, he slowly makes his way to me and turns off the heart monitor. He looks at me not knowing what to say soon the rest of the gang piles into the room and stares at me in shock.
There was an awkward moment of silence so I broke it by saying, "I'm back from the dead". That gets a round of chuckles and small smiles from the group. April rushes over hugging me and tears run down her face, I hug her back while my tears start to form. Soon everyone joins the group, even Donnie gives an awkward hug.  After Donnie runs a full diagnostic test and gives me antibiotics Mikey gives me a plate of some delicious-smelling food, but not having much of an appetite I pick at my food. The gang gives me space to give me time to come to them when I'm ready. The person I've been in close quarters with the most and Donnie and it was very awkward to say the least.
"How are you feeling?"
"Emotionally or physically?"
"I-uh both I suppose..."
"I guess I still feel a bit numb..."
"I see"
I continued this way until I was given a clean bill of health by Doctor Don. Making my way to my room, I take off my sweaty clothes, glancing at the full-length mirror I see the now angry scars on my shoulder and arms and sigh. Taking a quick shower, putting on an oversized t-shirt and sweatpants I text Mikey...I mean Doctor Feelings. Mikey knocks on my wall, I say that he can enter, and he pushes my space-designed curtain so he can come in, We sit on my bed and I hold onto a pillow.
"Whenever you are ready, speak your mind and don't hold back"
*sigh* Well I guess I'm just hurt that everyone assumed that I knew what my dads were doing. I know that it's hard to believe but I suspected something but not on this kind of scale.
Mikey nods his head but continues to listen intently
"I love you guys like family and I would never hide something like this from you guys especially when the whole world can be at steak. I left my home, my life, and everything I knew to stand by your guys' side"
Once I was finished Doctor Feelings hugged me tightly. He states that he obviously won't share what we spoke about unless I want to, but he suggests that I tell everyone in person. Once he leaves I do some thinking and not being able to sleep, I decide to make myself a cup of Joe, shuffling to the kitchen in my fuzzy slippers I see a dim purple glow and know immediately who it is. Before I can turn around to make a quick escape I sense Donnie's dark brown eyes staring at me. I turn back around and shyly shuffle my feet.
"Can't sleep"
"Y-yea, I have a lot on my mind"
"I understand that"
He takes a sip of his coffee while grabbing my signature cup and making my coffee the way I like it. Gratefully take the cup and take a sip of my own.
"So I know you aren't good with...feelings"
"Scoff Ouch, duh I am perfectly capa-"
I quirked an eyebrow at him and put a hand on my hip.
"Uh yes continue"
"Anyway, I've been thinking and I need to get something off my chest. I now realize why you started distancing yourself from me, but it still hurts...."
He awkwardly scratches the back of his neck and sighs as he puts down his cup on the counter.
"Yes, I regret how things turned out, my intention wasn't to hurt you." He hesitates to word his feelings but continues. "My calculations on the probability of this going wrong...well obviously didn't pan out in either of our favors. I will do anything in my power to right my wrong"
Giving a small smile I gently punch his shoulder. "I'll hold you to that Von Ryan" I say with a giggle.
He returns the smile and chuckles
*End of flashback*
After recovering from my laughing fit, I see Raph trying to put his team's movie flag up but Mayhem shut that down quickly, and soon we picked up the snowball fight again. In the midst of it we hear this terrifying howl and out of the trees jumped Ghost Bear. But he looked very beast-like, Raph started to fangirl big time and was taking a ton of selfies, my shock was heightened more when Ghost Bear tried to punch Raph but his punch went right through him as his arm turned into a ghost form. But once the ex-pro wrestler figured out how to control his newfound powers he punches Raph into a tree almost knocking him into our beloved snowman. Soon he turns his attention towards us and starts charging.
"Mayhem a little help" Leo says
Mayhem portals himself to the lair grabbing our weapons, while we are busy running for our lives and taking our snowman with us. Mayhem drops our weapons on us and we get into a fighting stance. But before we could attack he destroyed the snowman. We have a brief moment of sadness but we come to an agreement that being together watching the movies is what's important and fun. Ghost bear kicks our butts without having to physically hurt us because our attacks went through him and would hit one of us when he jumps on Mikey and flattens him into the snow that allows us to climb up trees to hide. But he finds us and cuts them down with his claws. Then Raph gets an idea to stop Ghost Bear.
"I got, you guys stsy close enough so he's attavking and stays soilid Well use our icy environment just like Jupiter Jim did," Raph says proudly
"Wow full circle," Donnie says sarcastically
Mayhem blinds him with one of our flags, Mikey wraps his kusari-fundō’s chain around him to trap him, Raph smashes a fountain, while I direct the water into Leo's portal, Donnie uses his Tech Bo to freeze Ghost Bear while the water pours on him and soon he freezes in place while trying to grab the flagpole. We take a sigh of relief and come to the conclusion that since we all love Jupiter Jim we should all be part of the flag, so we all tie our scarves to the pole and watch them blow in the wind.
"Woah woah wait, how come Raph's is on top?" Leo asks, I facepalm while giggling and throwing a snowball at his face earning a smirk from his purple twin and me giving a knowing smile back.

I came here after reading your Choso&Yuji fics, I love them! 🥰The scenes where they are training blood manipulations are my fave, filling in the gap in the current manga chapters for me so thank you! Your author's notes very interesting but there are some things I don't quite understand. My questions:
1. Was it ever explained how Yuji can do blood manipulation? And how he get the red claws?
2. Since Choso is a Kamo, does that mean he's related with kamo, the young one? I'm still confused because I saw some fans said they are not while some said they are and the fanpage says that Choso's father is Kamo the younger's ancestor, which means they are related?
3. Does that mean Yuji had a Kamo blood too because he's Kenjaku son? Like perhaps his mother? Because why is it different between them? Why Choso reacted like that to Yuji's blood but not to the other Kamo?
4. Are the memories Choso had about Yuji is from him alone or the influence from Yuji's cursed energy?
Sorry if my questions sound very dumb to you! myb cos I was skipping a lotta chapters of the manga to catch up with current arc (I almost skipped the whole culling game thing) but I watched the anime and still not understanding a lot.
Btw my fav is your Light at the end of dark tunnel and I'm actually sad that it hasn't been updated for long despite you still write new fics for new pairings 🥲 but I dont mean to rush you or anything, just hoping one day it will be updated again 🙏
Thank you for liking my stories and telling me about it! Ah I guess it does get confusing if you don't read the manga in order. In fact I've seen manga readers still confused abt the same things as yours so no, they are not dumb questions! Hwvr, to answer, it'd be better to go into manga's chronological orders so it'd be easier to understand...so beware of long answers ahead.
1. It was nvr explained explicitly but heavily hinted, which from the ways Gege does thing so far, which is not always spitting out everything for readers. It could be perceived as true. It happened in ch 220. I'll explain later below.
2. Yep, by all means they are related. I think this much is pretty clear from the narrative even if you're an anime-only let alone read the manga. Related as in coming from the same clan/ancestry line/bloodline. Iirc I explained this in end notes of ch 1 of my long fic. Blood Manipulation is a prized CT that is passed down only thru bloodline/genetics. It wasn't a sporadic thing like Geto's curse manipulation CT. It is the same as Zenin's 10 shadows and the Gojo fam' Limitless/Six Eyes. The fact that Choso has it despite being incarnated in an irrelevant non-sorcerer body meant that his Kamo's blood from his papa (Kamo Noritoshi Sr) still runs fully thru his current body. The concept of JJK is mostly how a soul cud modify the body. For Choso this is def the case cz there was 1 panel where he said he cud no longer sense the prev body owner's soul/essence. So, as a cursed object of a Kamo blood, he had taken over the body fully. Back to the question, howvr, to which degree he's related to Noritoshi Jr we might nvr find out unless GG care enough to lay out the Kamo family tree. They could be as distantly-related as Gojo with Yuuta or more direct line in family. But I don't see how that wud ever happen cz it's neither important to the plot nor is it important to any of the character's narratives.
So yeah, the opinions that said they are completely unrelated are definitely off the mark. It's silly tbh, cz it doesn't take a lot to comprehendthis particular narrative 😅. The BM technique and the great 3 clans backgrounds were there to confirm. I personally think, they must be branching a lot so it's not straight vertical line. Cz Kamo Sr had offsprings and cud have more legitimate offsprings outside the Death Paintings, it cud be said he wud be like a great great greaaat granduncle to Noritoshi Jr (which explains why the fanpage says Kamo Sr was Kamo jr's ancestor) and since Choso, Eso, and Kechizu didnt have offsprings they wud be more like great great greaaat grandcousins or cousins 8-10 times removed lmao. That's how clan family works.
Which brings us to the next Q that is Yuuji. Remember that Yuuji is always the special case.
3. Yuuji is by no means a Kamo even till now. He got BM technique thru acquired means which in ch 220 heavily hinted that he ate the rest of Death Paintings remains (as permitted by Choso). All the Death Paintings had BM like I said before cz they are of Kamo's descendants, only the properties that were different. For Choso it's poison. For Eso is rotten blood.
This is why, despite being born from Kenjaku who once inhabited Kamo Sr's body, Kenjaku didnt pass down BM to Yuuji cz once again, BM is a CT that is passed thru literal bloodline. Which is why we never saw him did BM while in Geto's body. Kenjaku being in Kaori's body who wasn't a Kamo cud not pass that CT down to Yuuji. He cud howver, resist Choso's poisonous cursed blood due to him being the other's papa.
By eating the Death Paintings' remains, Yuuji gained access to BM thru their souls which modify Yuuji's being. Most likely his red claws came from one of the Death Paintings' properties as well. This is the same to how he got stronger and gained more CE by eating Sukuna's fingers, which are also cursed objects, and how Gojo said he wud 1 day gain access to Sukuna's CT. Yuuji's body is such that after ingesting cursed objects, his soul gained control instead of being devoured like how Choso's soul took over the human body he incarnated in. It's why it doesn't make Yuuji a Kamo because he's still the one in control, not the Death Paintings he ingested.
4. I think 👆 has explained it. The memories are one-sided on Choso and they never happened. It's due to the bond between their cursed blood.
Why Choso reacted differently between Yuuji and the other Kamos? Simply cz Choso's narrative is designed to be a character who lives by and for his little brothers only. When it comes to the Death Paintings, they have cursed blood, don't they? Their CE and blood come as a package and cannot be separated. Which imo explains why it's not exactly literal/biological blood that bond him with Yuuji but rather the cursed properties in it, courtesy of Kenjaku's hopping bodies that brought and passed along his CE's components to all his offsprings and that's it...not the host bodies' genes or anything else. This is also why it's only Choso who felt the bond and not Yuuji cz Yuuji's CE didn't rely on his cursed blood back then. I didn't know abt it now though that he had eaten Choso's other little brothers and gained new properties to his bodies.
Unless somehow, when Choso and the brothers were inside the tubes their souls went to another cycle of life with Yuuji in another life lmao. But this one is my headcanon so dont take it seriously.
Thanks for the encouragement. I don't have any excuse abt it but I'll try updating the long fic when I can. That one is sth I took on more seriously which is why the writing process is much harder than the occasional one-shots that I've published. Much harder to hype myself to keep up with it as well. Plus I have lots of ideas come and go that keep swimming in my head and always have these sudden urges to tackle new dynamics when I came across a refreshing different pairing 😂

How do you feel about Ikomikidomoe and hikone? I personally think they’re nice additions to the world but I’ve barely seen anyone else talk about them 
I think I did a post on that at some point actually, but I'm not in a position to go digging thru my archive on mobile. (found it, but it's mostly just poking at kanji in names rather than really commenting on the characters themselves, so I guess I can do more of that here.)
Broadly speaking I'm not really big on the LNs, least of all Narita Ryogo's. I know he is kind of the most beloved of the ancillary creators for actually addressing many of Kubo's obnoxious loose ends, my main beef with him is that even though he ties a lot of them off he never ties them off satisfactorily, and seemingly just for the sake of saying he did it; there's generally no thematic meat to any of it, all his hooksjust kinda amount to shuffling around Kubo's left overs. And granted, maybe that's a little harsh or unfair of an assessment, but I'm also not a big fan of light novels as a gimmicky genre/format to begin with, so take all that with a grain of salt.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Anyway. Of all the things he did over course of three books in Can't Fear Your Own World, I do think Hikone was a really neat idea. I like the general idea of exploring artificial souls and synthetic life forms and the hybrid spirits and how that all relates to the nature of the soulking as a lynchpin of reality, I'm just not super about the specific plot he built around it all.
I'm not especially in love with Ikomikidomoe specifically, I feel like it either needed more or just different lore or that it could have been done without entirely. I really think Hikone being an artificial god candidate and the nature of what that means and as an excuse to explore how the other canonical attempts to replace god could/would have gone was enough to center a story around. In particular I was already not super fond of some of the late throw away lore additions about zanpakutou that exist independent of a singular individual. (ala Nanao's family sword, and Oh-etsu's harem). I feel like it raised a lot of questions that got immediately swept under the rug and added nothing of value to the lore at large. I don't implicitly hate the idea of a zanpakutou that embodies a different kind of identity apart from that of an individual wielder, but that idea feels like it requires a LOT of additional explaining that we never got. So the fact that Tsunayashiro has an ancestral sword for no particularly meaningful reason, and that Ikomikidomoe has its whole convoluted backstory always kind of annoyed me.
It's a shame too because Narita seems to ever so slightly brush up against an idea that Kubo himself danced around in world building --that the identity manifested in one's inner world as a sword spirit, and the mask a hollow forms from its heart are the same thing, and thus a Menos accumulating myriad hollows within itself to consolidate into one uniform identity is basically the same process as what Oh-etsu describes is behind creating an Asauchi. So the idea of a powerful hollow becoming a zanpakutou or something similar has precedent, but the weird convoluted choice to make Ikomikidomoe specifically a product of Ichibee and Oh-etsu's intervention, rather than a natural consequence of a Menos ascending toward Vastolorde doesn't sit well with me.
Tumblr media
On a side note, it bugs me that Kubo just casually threw in the idea that Asauchi are made of, what, hundreds if not thousands of shinigami souls(?) and then just NEVER addressed this weird implication that Soul Society, and Oh-etsu personally, have just, like, institutionally and systematically been committing mass genocides on the regular for all of recorded history? Huge huge mess of a world building flub. Not that it "couldn't" be answered, but that it wasn't, and that the effort it would take to patch up the apparent plot holes it introduces would just be so much effort for the sake of nothing but maintaining the status quo of the story.
Since you've got me in this rant, it's almost the same with the Ouken thing. I'm already not fond of the awkward retcon(ish) thing Kubo did with making the keys the bones of the Royal Guard as if that somehow answered any questions, when the bigger issue had been the idea that, literal key or not, each of the royal guard members was implicitly baptized in the fire of an apparent Sodom & Gomorrah catastrophes with whole cities or other swathes of land, densely packed with living, spiritually aware people being scraped off the face of the earth, ala Aizen's unfulfilled (and frankly Kubo's seemingly half forgotten) plans for Karakura.
Tumblr media
And in the face of that weirdness there was a fun unaddressed parallel in the Royal Guard's private "cities" floating up in the royal realm with the king's palace looking like the perfect inversion of the hypothetical hole in the ground we were shown during the Ouken explanation. Were those cities populated? By whom?? Or were they empty? I don't know which possibility is more interesting to explore; that the royal guard each had a whole cult of ascended spirits living with them, each under the domain of one guard, or that the guard just lived in the hollow shells of the sacrifice it took for them to ascend alone to nigh demi-god status.
Was it that the ouken itself was the condensed souls of thousands of people, just like the later reveal about both the asauchi and White, and they died or were otherwise sacrificed to make this object(or i guess imbue the object that is living bones into becoming it(?) god the bone keys thing was dumb...), or did the souls serve some other purpose? Could it have been that rather than melting down living souls to make the key, as was kind of implied, that to create or imbue a key with the power required to function as the ouken it simply needed the presence of those souls? Did access to the god realm require being actively worshipped as a god, by thousands of people, a united spiritual power of a singleminded cult, a city of followers united in ascending the key holder into the realm of god? Who the hell knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Tumblr media
But on that level, you'd think that's the same as the idea of a family zanpakutou, right? If the zanpkautou imprints or a person to reflect their true inner self which then grows stronger and gains power in the material world thru acknowledging and reconciling with, then implicitly the idea of a zanpakutou shared by a family would imply that its spirit is not a reflection of one person's singular traits, but those shared consistently across generations and in exchange for the lack of personal identity it confers the strength of literally multiple people's worth of power, just all reflected in a single persona.(or maybe not, i dunno, maybe the inner world of a family zanpakutou has some atlab avatar state stuff going on, who knows? Probably not Kubo.) What was the Soukyoku's giant execution blade, its destructive power conspicuously described in a measure of zanpakutou, if not a massive communal zanpakutou?(complete with its own spirit manifest as a phoenix) And what is Ichigo's inner spirit of a younger Yhwach if not the communal spirit of the Quincy bloodline? Andi n the context of these sorts of escalations of scale and power, is then the soul king actually a "human soul" in the way the cycle of human/quincy and shinigami and hollow all traffic in the same base elemental "stuff"? Or was the Soul King not that type of a "person" at all, and just a giant collective zanpakutou, a singular spirit reflecting the inner truth of humanity as a whole, and his "bankai" the wheel of reincarnation itself. Anyway that's veering too far off into speculation and potential headcanon.
Tumblr media
Getting back to Hikone, though... I like the idea of there being various different approaches to achieving the hybrid spirit form seemingly central to god status. Ichigo was naturally synthesized that way by the circumstances of his birth, Aizen used the hougyoku and "science" to forcibly and unnaturally synthetize himself, Yhwach was seemingly born not by actively joining disparate elements together but by simply being an offshoot of something that was already a hybrid... And then there's Hikone... and while I feel like plot wise there are a lot of issues to there just having been the means to synthesize artificial life just floating around in the background, while characters like Mayuri and Urahara and even Aizen are out there actively struggling with the process, but I like the idea of a kind of middle ground where, ignoring the stupid contrivance of the Gremmy brain thing, Hikone's fundamental contraction isn't quite artificial "life" in the spiritual sense that Bleach deals in so much as it is a "body" without a brain.
Tumblr media
But I like the implicit idea of having to draw a line around that. If you can make a thing that fulfills most of the requirements of life, then which things reserved for living personhood can it do and which can it not? If you elevate that to the level of godhood, then it's a fun question that in the grand scheme of things where apparently someone needs to be stripped of their autonomy and sit in the crystal for forever to hold the world together, then can it just be a fake person with no autonomy to lose in the first place? Where as Aizen thought being god would be cool(and was very probably wrong), and Yhwach doesn't seem to want to be god so much as remove him and replace him with ???(unconfirmed: in which it seemed like(ironically) plan A was originally Juugram, and plan B was Uryuu), Hikone is the Indiana Jones rock and the golden idol solution to the problem: Can I just swap god out for this god-shaped bag of rocks and get away with it?
Tumblr media
I'm sorry between being at work, and googling images, and then making this silly edit now, I've totally lost my train of thought... Uh... to summarize:
I like Hikone as an idea: I like "synthetic god" as a plot hook.
I like their name having associations with silk and, like, silk worms, as if they were spun and woven like a fiber but also with cocoon imagery attached.
I also think they're a super cute design.
I'd have liked the artificial souls to have more of plot behind them: like what are Urahara and Mayrui's actual goals in making them in the first place, other than just mad science for mad science's sake
I'd have liked for Ichigo's(and Aizen's for that matter; like how was it different and/or insufficient by comparison to Ichgio, or Yhwach or Hikone) hybrid theme to have a better actual conclusion.
I'd have liked better exploration of the nature of god souls and what that requires/means

yeong-bae kigal ★ profile
your biggest fucking fan LOL
literally sneaks around, his hair in a cap, shades on his face, ill-fitting clothes on his body just to be able to go to your concerts, your meet and greets, be able to go to the release of your albums
would always cheer the loudest!! and it's really a surprise becos he's usually so soft spoken and meek but like! he has quite a pair of lungs if it's for you!
has a closet dedicated to merch for you! he's literally a hoarder LOL he has the first editions for everything, has two copies of all of your albums, has the light sticks and the banners, the works
they have two copies of everything becos they should have one to open and look thru but the other one is to keep pristine in the packaging LOL
does the thing that some fans do where he buys as many albums as they need to collect all the photo cards and then sells the albums after without photo cards lmaooo or maybe shells out money to other fans so they can get their photo cards
basically, they have the complete memorabilia and it's their proudest achievement
if you ever sign something of theirs, they'll literally die. or they'll think they've died and gone to heaven
"Hi, what's your name?" You smiled at them and it felt like their soul ascended from their body.
With nervous jittery hands, they handed you their album, quaky smile on their face "Yeong-bae."
You grinned and gave a curt nod before hunkering over their album, pen in hand, to write out whatever you wanted to write out.
Yeoung-bae just sat there, still quite nervous but happy to be in front of you. Usually, he was too shy to come to meet and greets with an album. He was only ever courageous enough to shake your hand.
But, now, he actually sat down and told you his name!
"Here you go." You directed that blindingly gorgeous smile back at him as you handed him the album, opened to the page you signed on.
"Sorry, it's marker and I didn't want it to smudge." You apologised but all Yeong-bae could think was that you were so kind, so thoughtful.
Before he could read the message, your hand was suddenly on top of his, warm and soft in all the best ways. "Thank you so much for always coming to my events."
Yeong-bae's cheeks reddened and he tried to sputter out something intelligible. Unfortunately, your manager came along, ushering him away so that the next person could take their turn.
Yeong-bae tried not to be disheartened. It was easy when he glanced down at the message you left him as he walked away.
You're Yeong-bae from Acatalepsy right? I'm your biggest fan! As soon as I heard your voice, I immediately knew! Maybe we can have a collab soon? Good luck with your band and your events! I'll always cheer you on!

soren kumar ★ profile
acts less like a fan and more like a manager or a dependable senior
literally tries his hardest to always be around you LOL like suddenly, you're collabing with their band or you're practicing in the same studio all the time
he basically uses the fact that both of you are performers as an excuse to be close to you
and like acatalepsy (his band) is one of the biggest bands right now so like it's not impossible to imagine that you'd let him in, right? and just let him do what he wants?
also uses his position to kind of give you a boost behind the scenes. like he won't let you know its happening but, suddenly, you're getting opportunities and shit that you hadn't gotten before
you probably chalk it off to getting more and more popular and its that partly
but it's soren too. it's always soren
You stood at the right wing of the stage, hidden behind thick velvet curtain and darkness. You stared at the vast crowd in front of the stage, the sparkling lights of their light sticks almost blinding.
Just standing there made you feel nervous, made you feel small. You were nothing in face of that crowd.
You flinched when you suddenly felt hands on your shoulders and a breath against your ear "What's wrong?"
You recognised that voice anywhere. Instantly, you relaxed, a rather heavy sigh leaving your lips "Just nervous. Before concert jitters."
Soren turned you around to face him, that signature warm grin on his face "Nothing to be nervous about. You'll do great."
"Do you remember my tips?" He added, almost like an afterthought and you nodded. Those tips reassured you, made you a bit more confident.
Soren's grin only grew brighter. His hand moved from your shoulder to your cheek "You'll do great, love, don't worry about it so hard. That crowd is out there for you."
You wanted to argue that the crowd was out there for them, that this wasn't just your concert, but a shared concert between you, their band and a few other performers.
There was no arguing with the very sure and stubborn expression on Soren's face though. So, you just gave a nod and let yourself be reassured by him.
After you left for the stage, Soren watched you with rapt eyes, glancing away just quick enough to spot the paparazzi backstage with him.
He wondered what the headlines would look like in the morning.

ryuunosuke yamamoto ★ profile
biggest fan pt. 2 LOL
absolutely obsessed but, unlike yeong-bae, he's so open about it and he tells literally everyone he can tell about you
'oh you like good music? well have you heard of--'
people around him are sick of it but also they have to admit your music is pretty fucking good LOL
also has a huge collection but isn't smart enough to get repeats of any of his merch so all his albums are opened and well-worn
he'll flip through them whenever he has the time, just admiring your photos and stuff or reading your lyrics
keeps your photo cards in his wallet 100% and he lovingly shows it to people
he always takes extra jobs as sound tech or like backstage staff at concerts in the hopes that it ends up being your concert and it hasn't worked once but he still hopes
"Excuse me? Sorry, can I ask you something?"
Ryuu had been mid-bend and about to pick up a giant speaker when your melodic voice fluttered into his ear. He would've recognised your voice anywhere.
The speaker fell the short distance to the floor and he immediately turned around, wide eyes taking in your outfit and your sheepish little expression "Huh?"
Huh? Was that the best he could do? He finally manages to meet his soulmate, the one person he's loved more than anything, who he's admired more than anything, and that's all he had to say?
Thankfully, you giggled, all soft and sweet and Ryuu felt all his stress and worry melt away. You really were so magical and wonderful.
"Sorry, it's the first time I've done a concert here and I'm kind of lost." You admitted, looking so cutely embarrassed that Ryuu wanted to scream into his hands and roll around.
"Do you know where my room is?"
Of course he knew where your room was. He'd been hovering around it for ages now.
Instead of admitting that, though, he just nodded and immediately turned around, entire body wound like a tight string. He was way too nervous to be around you like this and, yet, he didn't want to stay away.
"Wait a sec." You ran after him, your hand--smaller than his, oh so small and soft and gentle--suddenly landing on his "Sorry, can't see well backstage."
You probably didn't want to mention his rather long legs and his rather long strides.
"Sorry." He apologised as well but his heart really wasn't in it. He was glad to have hurried along because, if he hadn't, you wouldn't have held him like this.
Maybe he could stick around you a bit longer, see if you cling to him more.
You were meant to be after all.
Tumblr media
ayaka yamato ★ profile
your biggest fan pt. 3
instead of really collecting a lot of your merchandise, she just obsessively follows you on social media
she'll like every single one of your posts, retweets all your tweets, makes sure to join every single one of your lives
she also doesn't miss a single event, no matter how expensive LOL
she definitely does her best to monetarily support you
hires you to always have concerts around lovelock, makes sure to have shares in the company you work for, etc etc
is just overall very vocally supportive of you LMAO
"Excuse me?"
Ayaka froze in place, her fingers tightening around the iced coffee in her hand.
"Sorry, I don't know if I have this right but are you ayaka-ya?"
She finally turned around and, like she had thought, it really was you, smiling so sugary sweet, shy expression making you look absolutely adorable.
Who would've thought that she'd finally meet you at some high-end cafe downtown?
"Oh my god, hi!" Ayaka immediately stood up, eyes wide as she tried to take in your cute outfit and your gorgeous face.
"Hi, sorry, it's probably so weird to come up to you so suddenly..." You rubbed the back of your neck, looking extremely sheepish "But, uhm, I've been such a huge fan of yours for the longest time and I know that you're a fan of mine too, right?"
You'd noticed? Her eyes fluttered a little as she tried to regain her composure "Oh my god, that's sooo embarrassing that you noticed."
You immediately shook your head and took her hands into yours "No, no, I've really appreciated all the likes and retweets and just all the support! It means the world to me!"
"Actually..." You leaned closer, your shy expression only growing even more bashful "Your support got me through a lot of tough times so I wanted to say thank you."
Ayaka nodded hastily, heart beating a staccato in her chest. To hear you, the one person she looked up to and wanted to support, say that she had been supporting you instead?
Had she died of caffeine overdose and went to heaven?
"You can say thank you by having coffee with me, how's that?" She hugged your arm and gestured to the empty seat behind her, grin wide and expression excited.
Somehow, she could get addicted to this feeling.

Just a random thought that popped into my head about Elta & Jensen..... I don't think she was as insecure about herself back when she started dating Jensen as she is now. I think after she and Jensen started dating, she realized just how much women fangirled over and wanted Jensen and since he spent 9 months out of the year in Vancouver filming SPN, ALONE (most of the time), she started getting incredibly insecure and petty, especially since we all know there's no way Jensen wasn't sleeping his way thru Vancouver, and that's when the plastic surgery began. She figured if she could look like his "ideal" or "dream" woman, that she could keep him from looking elsewhere (i mean, why else would she write shit like "he's mine, bitches" on a pic of Jensen for a fan?) Too bad she hasnt realized that LOOKS DONT KEEP A MAN.
I'm guessing she realized that Jensen was going to do whatever he wanted so she decided to do the same, i.e Steeb. But at this point, she keeps up with the plastic surgery bc once u start, u can't stop. Jensen, unfortunately, isn't going to leave her. She knows that if he was going to, he would've done so already. I think he's "settled" on the idea of staying with her bc if he hasn't left her after everything she's done and how she's treated him, then there's nothing that will make him leave her. It's why I don't follow him on Twitter or IG anymore. I'm sick of seeing her ugly mug all over my timelines.
I'm serious starting to wonder about his mental wellbeing. He keeps pushing her as if she had talent or any redeeming quality. She does not. She is a talentless, classless bimbo with no soul so the fact that he endorses her is deeply creepy to me and, like you, I stopped following him because of her. A very long time ago. The saddest part is it's not just him posting about her but how pathetically, fakely he does it. Like he is not capable of real love, authenticity and responsibility. I'm more disappointed in the superficial man he comes off as when he makes posts about her and I end up feeling sad for her. I know she made her own bed but...he's a shitty husband. Sorry not sorry. I would divorce him with the speed of light and never look back. This is just my preference and opinion, of course, but though Jensen looks like my dream prince charming, he appears to be made of cardboard on the inside. Wrapping is beautiful but it fades, what stays is the soul and a soul that cannot be authentic or love cannot connect to someone elsel, not truly. This is one of those days where I wish he would just fall suddenly in real love with someone else and start living. Because right now he is just existing, arrogantly but sadly.
As for looking like his dream woman, Danneel is fooling herself. You cannot change yourself to meet that for anyone because it's something that comes from them. From their soul and their core desires. She's trying to fabricate herself into something she will never truly be, if she really loved Jensen she would let him go. Because he clearly does have an ideal and he should be living it. I hope he finds whoever or whatever circumstance/experience he is looking for in life.

I'm sorry if this comes off weird, but I wanted to ask why you seem to not want to know about Can't Fear Your Own World? Do you dislike it, or it's nature as a post-series work?
So I've read a couple of the light novels and they simply do not spark joy. The plots sort of wander around, the characterization has very little to say, and they are full of what I'll call "lore dumps", where there will be a paragraph of exposition that's not integrated into the story in any sort of natural way and is frequently of the "thanks, I hate it" variety. Even though they may be "Kubo approved", or include stuff that he came up with, they completely lack his storytelling skill or the charm of his character voices. There are usually about 3-5 bits that I find charming per light novel, and about five to ten times as many that I find aggravating or off-putting (or just plain tedious or boring).
I think that a big part of it for me is that I read a lot of fanfiction and while there is an awful lot of mediocre fanfic, I have also read a lot of brilliant stories written by people who have given a ton of thought to the characters and the worldbuilding and out-of-canon adventures that these characters might go on. To me, the light novels I have read feel like finding a story on AO3 that has all my favorite tags and a cool story description, and then it turns out that I absolutely hate the writing style and direction. It feels like adding insult to injury that on top of that, I am somehow obligated to consider them canon.
To address CFYOW specifically, it does not contain any of the characters I care about. I mean, I like Shuuhei, but what I like about Shuuhei is his relationship with Izuru, Momo, and Renji. I like his job at the Seireitei Communication. I like his guitar playing and boring cooking and the goofy outfits he wears in splash pages. I could not care less about him getting bankai. I've said this before, but I would like relatively very few characters to get bankai, and he is not on my shortlist. It feels very shoehorned to me.
The plot sounds convoluted and tedious as hell. I already found the Fullbringers tedious enough when I had to read about them in the manga, I do not want to spend one more minute of my life thinking about Fullbringers.
Tokinada seems mildly interesting, but I'm pretty sure I got as much as I care to know about him from reading thru some BBS screenshots.
I hate literally every piece of Soul King-related lore I have heard come out of CFYOW. It makes me literally enjoy Bleach less.
I read a fan translation of the first couple of chapters when they came out and it barely kept my attention. I briefly considered that maybe the professional translation might be a little more readable (I say this with all love and respect for the translation I read, which was trying to keep it very close to the original), but then I have heard that Viz butchered the translation, so I feel like there's no winning there.
It's just not for me. If it were a fanfiction, I would look at the tags and description and simply keep scrolling. I wish peace and love on planet Earth to everyone who enjoyed it and any of the other light novels, but it's not something I wish to spend my time and energy on. There are so many parts and pieces of Bleach--the manga, the anime, the movies, the filler arcs, the novels, databooks, random facts Kubo spills in interviews, fanworks, etc, and I've always been of the opinion that as fans, we all have the right to pick and choose which ones we want to consume and what we want to include in our own personal canons. Further, because CFYOW is post-canon, it literally affects nothing if I ignore it. Yeah, there are a few interesting crumbs in there, like the stuff about Ikkaku and his sister and I think there's an off-hand mention of the Six Hearts gang going to the beach, but it's simply not worth it to me to read through over a thousand pages of something that I am otherwise just not interested in.
