*Points* YOU! YES YOU! Tell me about your ocs please. Any oc. The oc you can never design right, or the oc that won't stop changing, Any. Just tell me about your ocs!
Tumblr media
GRRRRRRRARAGRGARGA
ANGIE MY BELOVED
this guy.....i have given him the most amount of trauma At The Start. he's already gone (and is still going thru shit) and b/c he's already had it tough he's gonna end up being the wisest person by the end of the story most likely (in his own way)
fuckin this guy's a tech nerd and if i knew more abt computers n junk i would be more specific but thats rlly. all i can say. he makes funny programs, he can code, he makes robots, aaalll that shit!!
fun fact: angie is a relatively new character that ive created for two! he (along w/ness) were not in the original story, but.....kat had like....NO friends and w/all the shit she was gonna go thru she really needed them lol. it also didn't make sense w/her character ta have her have no friends?? at that point in time i was revamping kat's personality cuz i realized she was too much Like Me and I didn't wanna create a self insert lol 😅
ANYWAYS- angie's got the worst of life w/in the last 2ish years, dead dad, depression caused from dead dad, struggling family b/c of the sudden loss of income (at this point in the story his family is more stable, but that's the reason he originally started working at kat's parent's cafe), anger issues caused by depression from dead dad, and on toppa all that, he's in honors classes!! man's has got it tough!!
he's also the eldest sibling in his houshold n has got 5 siblings!! (here's a wip of them i never finished. this would've been his fam 2 yrs ago)
Tumblr media
him n the sister he's smirking at are at eachother's throats a lot lol. she's sorta similar ta ness but a lot more blunt. they shoulder the burden of being the eldest, sort of a team but not really? angie takes the brunt of the burden. eldest siblings (me) understand.
he's got ta deal w/being held ta such a high standard n he's constantly under pressure ta succeed, ta do great ta make his family proud, n now that his dad is dead he feels like he owes it ta him ta do well by him.
beyond the sad stuff he had a major caffine addiction that his mother put a stop ta. he had a habit of procrastinating and then pulling coffee fueled all nighters, except now that he cant have coffee anymore he supplements it w/soda (his mother will NOT allow energy drinks he sneaks some anyways tho. ((his mother is not happy abt him drinking sodie)))
he's a meme king and irl shitposter and a very Big Boi (6ft!) he's got a new york accent as well!
fun fact numero dos: angie is one of the several characters who i am completely unsure of their orientation. i feel like he could be the queerest person on the planet and yet also be the straightest most cis-dude ever. idk ik he likes girls thats the most ive come up w/so far.
he loves his friends so much dude!! they've helped him thru so much and he's done so much dumb shit w/them (like The Bruisehouse, of which the trio of kat, angie, n ness is named after. they're still quite famous from what they did in elementary school). honestly he just wants ta relax. you can see that reflected in his clothing choices (yk besides being a sans kinnie n liking utdr) he's one of those kids in middle school who dresses in shorts n short sleeves no matter the weather n is like, "im not cold"
him n kat met first and were bffs b4 they met ness n she was added inta the group, so they're a bit closer in that aspect!

Note Passing || Fabrevans
TAGGING: Quinn Fabray & Sam Evans WHEN: March 23rd WHERE: Florida GENERAL NOTES: Sam & Quinn pass notes during the safety seminar WARNINGS: None
Quinn: This seminar was incredibly boring, and Quinn has sat in law lectures, so she knows boring. This is beyond that. Bored out of her mind, and not wanting to disrupt the class, she tears out a little sheet of paper from her notebook before scribbling: ‘ Who are you rooming with? I might need to sleep in your bathtub.’
Sam: Sam was in his own little world, his eyes completely unfocused as he drowned out the seminar with the imaginary world that lived inside of his head. His eyes were just about to close for a small boredom nap when he felt movement beside him. Opening his eyes and looking at Quinn, Sam noticed the note and grinned. ‘ Ryder! Did they forget to get u a room? U can have my bed - from Sammy.’
Quinn: She should feel bad about clearly interrupting Sam, but she’s bored and he smiled like that at her, so she doesn’t. Plus, what are friends for if not to suffer with you. ‘ I wouldn't take your bed. I have a room of my own, its just with Brittany, and she kinda.. scares me.’ She debates crossing it out, hovering over the word for a moment, ‘It'll be fine, right? Tell me I wont die. -You don't need to sign your name.’
Sam: Sams eyes widened when he read the note, looking up at Quinn’s face as she wrote. He hoped that she knew that if she needed it, he would be more than happy to give her his bed. Sam would give her anything she needed. ‘ Idk she’s super scary and gives me wedgies but she’s allowed cause we’re related and stuff. I’m sure u will be ok. She’s not allowed to hurt ppl. Plus u are insane beautiful so !!! - sa-’ Sam stopped himself from signing his name, scribbling it out and adding a kiss instead
Quinn: Another glance up, and the guy was still droning on. Had he even noticed the group in the centre actively drinking in the seminar? Her attention was caught again by the little note being pushed into her peripheral. ‘ Sam! She shouldn’t be doing that to you. Being related to you isn’t an excuse. And now I’m worried about wedgies. Great. I don’t think being beautiful will save me, but thank you.’ She added a little heart to the end to punctuate her reply.
Sam: Note passing was one of the many things on his list of most favorite things. It was even higher up than text messaging. This boring seminar was made that much better by Quinn. ‘ I can’t tell her no.. she might eat me. Like a black widow spider. It might! It works in the scary movies! Just show her some skin.’ After adding two hearts, Sam chuckled a little when he passed the note back, thinking he was the most hilarious person in the room
Quinn: ‘I'm going to become a slut so that I don't get murdered by a skank. This trip is looking SO great for me. She doodled a little grumpy face, If I'm going to reduce myself to this, do you want me to ask her to stop with the wedgies?’ She couldn't believe she was actually considering this, and she started passing the note back, before reconsidering, and grabbing it back, adding ‘We need to drink- and soon, so I can pretend none of this exists.’ and then actually passing it to Sam.
Sam: Sam let his hand hang in the air, waiting for Quinn to add whatever it was that she was adding. The smile on his face had still yet to falter and he was sure he was having the best time out of everyone in that seminar. ‘ You are LITERALLY the smartest person in america. I know that I would also do anything for a lady who wants to show me her ta tas. But that sounds like a plan, Batman! I bet we could find some kinda awesome bar somewhere. Or maybe a gay bar where they have those go go dancers. That's SUPER Florida vibes.’ 
Quinn: Sam's goofy grin made a lot of things in Quinns life easier- women studies wasn't always sunshine and rainbows, and she found she had a grin of her own to match. ‘ You flatter me too much. Let's just hope that Brittany works the same way- since you are cousins. Are gay bars Florida culture?’ She drew an extra big question mark- because that didn't sound right, but Sam probably knew more than her about it. ‘Do you have any big plans for this trip?’
Sam: ‘Oh most def. Have you seen Florida man stuff? This state does EVERYTHING wild and crazy.’ Sam grinned to himself as he wrote before adding. ‘Maybe I could buy a pet alligator and sneak it back on the plane. THAT would be the best plan other than just having as many beach parties and I can before I can't feel my legs.’ He passed the note back, already feeling the excitement rushing through him at all the things they could all get up to this week. It was a REAL vacation. Something Sam had never experienced before.
Quinn: ‘I definitely have- I could go all law nerd and tell you why, but I do also just think Florida is crazy.’ She drew a little alligator in the margin- it was crude, but she thought it was a needed addition. ‘In your bag? I don't think it'll fit. Just stick to the parties.’ It was easier to slowly goad Sam out of ideas than outright tell him no. Plus a little part of her was curious about how he'd go about getting said alligator.
Sam: Sam smiled from ear to ear as he looked over the picture that Quinn had drawn, wasting no time before drawing a little arrow to it and adding I love him with a cute little smiley face. ‘ Oop you are so right babe! The only way I could think to do it was dress one up in a dress and wig and pretend its my grandma like they did with Scooby Doo BUT airport security has stepped it up since.’
Quinn: ‘Yeah. I'm not sure that'll work- and what if it eats the baby racoons under your trailer? You can't do that to them.’ She added a little sad face with some tears- she didn't want to be accomplice to this alligator stealing. ‘We can just go see them at the zoo.’ Oh- the speaker had stopped. People were starting to leave. She handed the note over, and started packing the rest of her things away. She was kinda really excited to get out in Miami and party.
Sam: Sam was about to reply to the note and agree that it was only responsible of him to be a racoon dad that he didn't bring over a scary scaly lizard back to his place. After all, he did only have one bed and his summer paddling pool wasn't in any way big enough for the both of them to splash and chill. "Can I... Keep this?" Sam finally spoke up when they all started to leave, holding out the crumpled piece of paper.
Quinn: "Yeah- but its just a bunch of random thoughts." Quinn didn't really understand why he wanted to keep it at all, but she didn't understand a lot of things Sam did. "Do you want to go grab a drink? Start this break off right?"
Sam: Sam could think of nothing better than starting off the best vacation in the world with one of THE best people in the world. "Absolutalivity," he nodded enthusiastically, draping his arm over Quinn's shoulders as they moved out of the room with the rest of the crowds. "This is gonna be a vacay to remember.. BET!"

Idk shit about movies tbh.

Toon Blast and 2048.
78. Would You Give A Homeless Person CPR If They Were Dying? Why Or Why Not?
Holy shit I hate this question. Yes, of course I would. I don’t know why mentioning that the person is homeless is relevant. Homeless people are not somehow less worthy of CPR?? What the fuck.
79. Been On The Computer For 5 Hours Straight?
...yes
80. Stalked Someone On A Social Network?
I’ve briefly skimmed over someone’s page after meeting them but I don’t lurk.

anyway i met bei honglin and he’s an actual angel and we don’t deserve him: a recap
also this is more than 5k words so like ! prepare yourselves!
fhdjjd okay so in april honglin’s hyh brought up his birthday party in his gc and I was like :——) that’s when spring sem ends I could actually make it
 fast forward through a lot of encouraging by summer miss @91percentchaoze​ (sobs I rly owe summer my life) and a lot of anxiety about flights and a lot of other stresses in between
and June 2nd I’m in shanghai with mirthe miss @honglinsmacaroni​ and meggi and summer ie three of the cutest people in the world!!!
when we get to banana there were already other fans there waiting at the event space and the hyh was giving out seat numbers and stuff
so meggi was 10, summer was 11, mirthe was 14 and I was 15
and we started giving out the slogans and stuff we printed until the staff chased us out so they could set up
and so we were chilling first in Starbucks w the other fans fhdjjfjf they’re rly so cute I was finally able to put faces to weibo handles & they finally realised they were talking to someone who’s actually shit at speaking Chinese lmao
then when it got to 2 o’clock we moved outside near the entrance of the event space (since the event space was supposed to be open to us at 2)
but they got the time wrong and we ended up only being able to go in at nearly 3
which isn’t important anyway bc !!! we saw tangram walking in !!!
okay so we saw this white blob coming out from the main banana building and walking towards one of the side buildings and we were like
whomst
and it wAS JINGZUO JSDKAHFKJDH
and summer or mirthe waved at him and he was like bitch wtf and squinted
like ??? who the heckity is waving at me but then eventually he connected the dots and was like o yah fans so he waved back fhdchdkhcjdjf
and he just walked on what a king ??????
summer was right I was surprisingly more chill than I thought I would be fhdjfjfjjf I thought I would cry but I didn’t
so we waited around a bit longer, got suntans and sunburns and slightly dehydrated
and then honglin walks out
my god y’all he’s a whole goddamn angel he’s not real I’m telling you he’s unreal
I KNOW I said the last time that yanjun is rly unphotogenic and all the photos don’t do him justice but leT ME TELL YOU
THE ENTIRE BANANA FAMILY IS LIKE THIS THEYRE UNREAL
THEYRE ALL BANANA PEELS IN HUMAN SUITS THEIR VISUALS ARE ??? NOT HUMAN
but yah at first I was like o he’s gonna go through the back exit to the event space he’s not gonna come this way
AND THEN HE CAME THIS WAY
fhdjfjfj i didn’t take a video but if I did u would probs hear me go “o shit he’s coming” fhdjfjfj
and mirthe was like I’M GONNA TELL HIM UR WEIBO HANDLE I’M GONNA TELL HIM YOU’RE ASTROFIREWORKS and I was like NO so then we had a little back and forth for a while tHAT HONGLIN SAW FBDJHFJF
I don’t rmb a lot of it bc I was mainly in shock that he was in front of me so I was mostly like :——) heckie!
but he went through the front entrance and the moment he made it inside I lost my shit fbdjfjjff
mirthe sent a picture of me just kneeling at the entrance contemplating my entire life to the group chat fhdjfhdj apparently I said that I wanted to go home fhdjfjfjjf
and then zhixie and jingzuo came out soBS
ZHIXIE IS SO BEAUTIFUL IRL U DONT UNDERSTAND HIS CHEEKBONES ARE INSANE
also he had black hair again and the cuTEST HAT ON and we promptly lost our shit
Jingzuo,,,,, in a plain white shirt and blue jeans and converse,,,, someone PLEASE stop him
but they went in and we cried
and waited outside bc ruotian and chaoze still hadn’t gone in but then someone came to tell us chaoze was off filming for his show so he wasn’t coming & somehow ruotian had alr made it into the building without us noticing so eventually we all went in
and the chairs were so comfortable o my god they swivelled and they were like super squishy I love chairs
and then the best two hours of my tgm stan life started :—(
my god the moment honglin stepped on stage my entire heart melted he rly looked so good sobs
you’re completely right I’m dedicating an entire portion to his visuals
his eyes :—-( are so sparkly my god
and when he smiles his eyesmile???? he gets those rly deep wrinkles around his eyes and they’re actually beautiful????? ;;;;
he Radiates joy like i know i say this so often but their debut song??? radiant??? written For him,,,
also when he smiles it’s so warm like you find yourself smiling along bc he rly and genuinely means it and is happy and your heart just warms up bc he’s happy and i just
man i l*ve him
okay so the first segment zhixie was like “what do y’all love about beibei”
and everyone was yelling different things like “he’s so handsome” and “so talented” and “his vocals” and someone also yelled “he can eat a lot” and zhixie was like ??? bro whAt
also someone said “he spoils his fans a lot” and my god y’all it’s so so true but more in that at the very end of this recap
I couldn’t even say anything rip bc my entire brain was set in English and I was like ???? my god i wrote an entire post about the reasons I l*ve him but my mind is blankity blank
but then he was like well beibei’s great at pick up lines
so he did pick up lines based on scenarios zhixie gave fhdjfjfand most of them were old tsk
but he made up this rly cute one that went like 看花开不如看着你发呆 ‘people like looking at flowers bloom, but i’d rather look at you daydreaming’ and i UWUED SO HARD
and I didn’t realise this until meggi pointed it out after but when they put the scenarios on screen, they used a gender neutral “TA” instead of the gendered 她/他 ;;;;;
then they did this segment where honglin was supposed to go against three fans and do a tongue twister in the shortest time and in order of time they got to choose foods under cloches
honglin did so badly fhdjfjfj he got last place but idk if he did it on purpose so his fans could win
one fan got wasabi disguised as ice cream and zhixie was like EAT IT and honglin was like DONT
and he offered to eat the wasabi for her I’m sobbing he rly is so sweet
but zhixie was like NO SHE HAS TO EAT IT and everyone laughed bc he was so adamant fhdjfjfj i love zhixie with my entire soul
and thEN honglin goes okay y’all know how I posted that picture last night
(this picture)
my god I died when he posted it bc
1) I love that shirt what an expensive look
2) he was baking ;A;
and he made a half-baked cheesecake s o b s
he was like: “since i’m always posting vlogs and y’all always watch me eat I thought I’d make food for y’all this time” and I WEPT
and he was like oh give me a theme and i’ll decorate the cake around that theme
so they pulled out the box again and he picked random numbers
and they called out 4 and 15 and 27 to go on stage and I was like
wow I wonder who they are omg
and suddenly summer’s in my ear going MY GOD 15 IT’S YOU
me:
me: what
zhixie: STOP DREAMING IT’S YOU
me: WHAT
hdsflgkjhdfkhgjdsfgkhksfgkdjhdfgkjhsdgjh
and the entire time i was mouthing to mirf and meggi like I CAN’T SPEAK CHINESE I’M GOING TO GO UP AND FORGET THAT I’M BILINGUAL I’M GOING TO BE BYELINGUAL I’M
and they were mouthing back sPEAK ENGLISH and i was like oK
and then it was my turn and i was shaking so so so hard ????
like i’m so so so bad in front of crowds i’ve shaken my way through every marketing presentation ever bc i hATE public speaking and now i have to go up in front of two angels?????
mirf and meggi were like THAT’S ASTROFIREWORKS and i didn’t realise until i checked the group chat after that zhixie said yAY KJDHSKSJAHKJA
and summer was like SHE FLEW IN FROM NEW YORK kjdshfkahdgjfhagjd
and zhixie was like wait do u speak chinese
and i blANKED OUT I WAS LIKE YES BUT FAM NO
but he only took the yes and was like ok thaNK GOD I DONT HAVE TO TRANSLATE
inside i was like fAM WHO THE HECKITY DO U THINK TRANSLATES YOUR VIDEOS I CAN DO IT FOR U KASJDHFLSKJDHKH but outside i was just ah yes :—)
and zhixie and honglin said something about english but my mind was blank all i could do was stare at honglin like
y’all
i know i said he was unreal but
up close
he’s literally ??? a whole angel like ????????????? his eyes sparkle so much when he laughs my heart STOPPED
and when they asked me to step closer i was like
actually i can translate for u i’m-
and zhixie was like NO THERE’S NO NEED like akdsfhkjkjdshJKASDHK OK
then honglin asked what theme i wanted and i was likE FAM IDK I’VE BEEN BLANKING THE ENTIRE TIME STARING AT YOU
so i was like okay i know u rly like one piece so something maybe one piece related
and he was like fam that’s difficult sadjkfhalsKJSDHLKJASD
but the moment i opened my mouth
zhixie: ARE YOU SINGAPOREAN OR MALAYSIAN
me: uh i’m singapor-
honglin: uwu i can hear it
me: about to die
zhixie (in english): ur accent !
and god yall my entire heart burst into flames like
i’ve said it before here but i’ve spent quite a bit of time being ashamed of my accent bc when i first got to america nobody could understand my singaporean accent and everyone kept asking me to repeat myself and eventually i was like ok u know what it’s better if i just shut up and not talk
and so the reason why i’m so so so proud of zhangjing (and jj) is bc there finally is ?? some south east asian representation and there are even people complimenting his accent and calling it cute and it ?? finally felt like i shouldn’t be embarrassed about the way i speak??
zhixie: when i heard you i was like eh? it’s almost like i heard you zhangjing
and i
Cried
and then zhixie turned to meggi and mirthe and were like yall come from beijing?
like fam what
and meggi was like no we come from belgium
zhixie: malaysian? you?
about ten people correcting him: belgium
zhixie, again: malaysian?
kajsdhflasjdkhfkj
and then zhixie said some other words but yall i was
just watching honglin
his hands are so so so so beautiful like his fingers are rly nice and
his nose ??? work of art
also his hands looked so soft like :—(
he was just bent over the cake and he :—( rly truly a goddamn angel
summer took photos of me that i’m never releasing ever sakdfhaksjdhfds i look so COMPLETELY WHIPPED FOR HIM LIKE
and at one point he started plucking cherries and one stalk fell on the floor and i was like o no so i went forward to pick it up and he
looked up
and said ‘oh it’s okay’ and smiled and
my heart stopped i think i left my soul on stage
O SHIT OKAY AND THEN ZHIXIE WALKED OVER AND WAS LIKE
CAN I ASK WHAT YOU’RE THINKING U LOOK LIKE YOU’RE LOSING UR MIND
AND I WAS LIKE FAM U DONT UNDERSTAND I A M
and i was like ‘idk i’m just ?? very shookt’
and zhixie was like what??? shy????
me: 很惊讶 (very shocked)
zhixie: shy? ? ??
me, thinking: fam this is how i feel when i translate yall captionless vlogs
zhixie (in eng): is this ur first time seeing honglin?
me: my first time seeing you also !!!!!
zhixie, suddenly shy: ah okay thank u
UWU!!!
and then honglin was done and looked up and i might have died inside again
AND HE WALKED OVER AND I WAS LIKE FAM NO DONT IF YOU COME CLOSER I’M LITERALLY GOING TO DI E??????
and he was like ‘oh this is zoro’
the sane part of me: oh wait ur favourite character is zoro???
bc liTERALLY TWO DAYS BEFORE HE POSTED ABOUT SANJI AND SO MY SISTER AND I WERE LIKE OH HE PROBS LIKES SANJI
BUT HE
LIKES ZORO
(my sister, afterwards: wtf i feel lied to)
but he was so heckin close to me like fam my heart
stopped
honglin: i hope u like it uwu
me: heck !
honglin: take one bite!
me: HECKITYHECK
zhixie (in eng): i wanna see ur facial expression
aND THEN THEY WERE BOTH LOOKGIN AT ME LIKE FUCABJS,BCD
FUCINADJCNSAKJDKJ
honglin: is it okay? ;;
me: FUCIJNSKCSADJ YES TAKE MY HEART TAKE MY SOUL
and i finally FINALLY FUNIAJKNSSK FINALLY GOT OFF THE GODDAMN STAGE
zhixie: WHERE’S HER APPLAUSE
anD EITHER RUOTIAN OR JINGZUO UPSTAIRS STARTED CLAPPING AGAINST THEIR MIC LIKE ASDFAHKSDHFAKSJD SHUT UP
 AND I WANTED TO DIE I WALKED ITNO A CARDBOARD CUTOUT RIGHT AFTER BC I WAS SO SHOOK
and honglin was like be careful! there’s a cardboard cutout right there! bc he’s a whoLE ANGEL
but also like GKASCKASHDHFAJDSHLFKJ PLS STOP LOOKIGN AT ME PLEAS E MY HEART IS WEAK I’M
my god
collapsed into summer’s arms right after thank god for summer !!!
okay then the next segment zhixie was like o yall know honglin’s position in the group is main vocal so next he can sing something for yall
honglin: actually i prepared an entire song for yall but music copyright means that i can’t sing it w a backing track
bc if he sings w a copyrighted backing track or if he sings more than half the song the livestream video would have to be taken down or something??
but it didn’t matter bc the moment he opened his mouth my entire heart STOPPED like
if he stabbed me in the stomach it would have hurt less his voice is so so sososos ososososososoosososo beautiful ????
and he sang without a backing track to like ????
i’m telling yall he’s a whole angel like he’s not real
and then honglin was like oh i also prepared another song but bc i now see there are overseas fans here i’m gonna sing an english song
and he sang when i was your man by bruno mars and when he hit the high note i think i ascended into the afterlife
about the 46 minute mark here i RLY AND TRULY RECOMMEND LISTENING TO IT SOBS HE SOUNDS LIKE THE PERFECT ANGEL HE IS
AND ZHIXIE HARMONISED AT THE BACK LIKE AHHHHH THAT’S MY BABE MAIN VOCAL TAGTEAM RIGHT THERE
and then zhixie asked if there was any other song we wanted and i was immediately like JJ!!
i’ve been ??? pleading for a jj cover forEVER ND HE
FINALLY PULLED THROUGH
honglin: i’m going to do Those Were The Days bc like the song says (那些你很冒险的梦 我陪你去疯 - all those adventurous dreams, i’ll chase them with you), i’ve been chasing my dream and yall have been here with me every step of the way
and i think the moment he said it i DIED like ???? jj is one of my favourite singers and nearly all my faves have covered his songs at least once, astro included???
and everyone who knows me knows i love jj like nini miss @tanqram​ has literally made a tangram singing jj compilation that i watch religiously ??? and this is one of my fave jj songs?????
and the moment he opened his mouth like ???? i KNOW i said that i died the last two times he sang but
firstly he sounds so much like jj?????
and secondly everything was ???? perfect??????
like i judge jj covers hard bc i’ve listened to the originals so many times everything is ingrained and the moment something is off i cringe but
yall
honglin’s perfect honglin is Actually Perfect
ALSO HE SOUNDS SO MUCH LIKE JJ LIKE HE RLY WASN’T LYING IN HIS IP INTRODUCTION
and afterwards honglin was like lol jj said before that whenever he sings high notes he starts sweating and immediately jingzuo (???) was like TAKE OFF UR CLOTHES LKAJDHSFKASJDHFK
jingzuo chaotic good!!!
also i didn’t know until afterwards when the fantakens were out but ruotian was eating chicken wings and slurping noodles the whole time upstairs aksjdflhaksdjfhaksj why is didi line chaos
and then zhixie was like yall know what other things beibei is good at?
like fam he’s good at everything we rly can’t
also someone in the back was like he’S GREAT AT DOING THE SPLITS and honglin’S FACE AJSDFHKSJDHF
but it was languages and so zhixie was like we’re gonna make him say i love u in many different languages
and i could FEEL marta miss @honeyforzhixie​ going ????? isn’t that ur thing zhixie jsdgflasjdhf
and so they started discussing languages and zhixie was like o i know u can speak a little japanese bc i know u memorised the entire one piece theme song
and i SCREAMED INSIDE bc we literally juST TALKED ABOUT IT THAT MORNING WHEN WE VIDEO CALLED NINI nkfhakjsdhf we were like uwu we hope he sings a jj song but then we were like o lol what if he ended up singing the one piece theme song instead bc we bet he knew the whoLE THING AND HE DOES KNOW IT AJSDFHLAK
but then zhixie made honglin imitate maotong and say ‘i love u’ the way maotong would and my heart ached a little i miss my baby boy so much ??
but JINGZUO CHAOTIC GOOD JSDHLAKJ ‘could u imitate chaoze too’ jaskdlfhkjd
and so he did a couple different versions like Japanese (he and jingzuo screamed lines from one piece at each other ajdkhflksd) and korean (he took a line out of some korean drama?????)
and someone suggested french (was it mirf?????) and i lAUGHED rip his french vlog sorry honglin i swear i love u !!
and then they were like ok time to play his fan video
okay listen i have to preface this by saying that when i got the brief from the hyh she told me ‘it’s best if we make him cry!’ and i was like ok! sure!
turns out it made ME cry i stressed out over the video for two entire weeks sobs the moment my finals were over i locked myself into nyu’s computer lab until moving out day but still couldn’t finish it so i had to work on it on the plane ride home too sobs my roommate connie miss @ynajun​ saw the worst of it bc every time i came home from the lab i’d stress about it ???
but my god it was worth ??? everything ????
he ?????? cried??????
and like on one hand i’m happy that i managed to fulfil the brief but also i feel bad bc he cried but also mostly i laughed bc he’s such a sweet emotional bub
BUT ALSO BC HE CRIED MEGGI GOT TO OFFER HIM HER TISSUES!!!!!!!!
like we specially bought tissues before we left for banana bc we were like we’re gonna need them bc we’re gonna cry
BUT IT TURNS OUT HONGLIN NEEDED HTEM MORE AJSDKFHLASJDHFKAJ
zhixie: he cries every year during his birthday
zhixie: but also even when it’s not his birthday he cries he cried at my birthday too
and afterwards in chaoze’s birthday post he called honglin a crybaby too UWUWUWUWU
tangent but on his birthday when he came into the group chat he thanked us again for the video and i Died
okay this next part is purely speculation bc i honestly might just be overinflating myself and he might have done this purely coincidentally but when he thanked us for his video he looked at me and i ?????
when the video was playing nini and marta were yelling in the gc that they knew the video was done by me bc i overuse cc particle world on after effects jasdhlfksjdh but in that moment i briefly entertained the thought that he was familiar enough with my edits to know that the only idiot who keeps using cc particle world was me ??
but also as i said purely speculation and probably coincidence so
anyway you can watch it here 
and then they played the birthday video messages from fans and i think i died from embarrassment let’s Not talk about it
but also i only realised it after they pointed it out in the gc but apparently zhixie and honglin were both singing along to the jj backing track i added to my video ajsdfhlaksjd
my god another tangent but on his birthday when he came into the group chat we were talking about the videos we recorded
and hh (one of honglin’s og fans she’s a whole angel too I love her !!!!) was like my gOD i rly am so unphotogenic (when she filmed her video she put a ‘FAT’ over her face sobs but like mood) and i was like yah same lol i had to record myself like ten times in times square bc i looked so bad in all the takes
and honglin was like HH WHY DID U CENSOR UR FACE UR CLEARLY SO CUTE and we collectively died for her uwu !!!!
then honglin rePLIED ME SAYING ‘OH BUT TIMES SQUARE HAS SUCH A GOOD VIBE’ and i died for the nth time ??? and then he followed up by saying ‘i rly want to go to times square i’ve gone to america a lot of times when i was younger but i’ve only ever been to the west coast’ jksadhlfkjshekj pls come i’ll bring u around east coast best coast
but back to the point he was like ‘i’ve said it before during ip (and he did!!! during the fanfan episode where he was talking to the rubbish bin he rly has said it before!!!!) but i rly try my best to remember every single person’s face and all my fan’s weibo IDs’ and my heART MELTED HE
and then it was his ending ment!!
he said something that rly threw my heart off a cliff he said that he’s so grateful for the hyh and fans for listening to him and donating to charities in his name instead of buying him extravagant gifts bc when he makes it big, if he makes it big, the thing he wants to do the most is to donate to children who come from a less privileged family background bc he knows what it’s like coming from a single parent family and ;n;
then they showed wishes from other idols!!!!!
there was wang ziyi, zhou rui, the twins my ip hEART
LISTEN I ??? when zuo qibo showed up my SWIN HEART EXPLODED I ??? MISS ??? MY SWIN ANGELS ????
AND THEN RUIBIN SHOWED UP IN ALL HIS UNKEMPT AND UNSHAVEN AND RAMBLING GLORY AND MY PRINCERUIBIN HEART WEPT I THINK I HELD SUMMER’S ARM SO HARD SHE GOT BRUISES AJKSDHFKSJD I’M SO SORRY SUMMER I LOVE U
and then cHAOZE APPEARED !!!! and everyone immediately melted he’s the softest leader alive i love my baby!!
and honglin was about to say something but ruOTIAN
ruotian showed up w a cake w sparklers???????? like fam???????
and eventually we had to say goodbye :—(
but honglin was like o i rly and truly thought that there would be lesser people at this birthday than there was last year and my heart ??? broke ????
bc the room they were in last year alr was so small and there were rly little roses but he ??? genuinely thought he had so little fans that he wouldn’t even fill up the room ;;;;;;;; bc there rly are v little active roses both on weibo like there are less than ten of us who actively post in his chaohua and at tgm events like they’re mostly lrt/jjz fans and there’s usually only one rose ;;;;
but listen honglin our entire gc would die for you we will never stop loving u until every last one of us is found dead in a ditch
and then we’ll love u into the next life
also after he said goodbye he was like sike!
he kept singing behind the cardboard cutouts and peeking around them to say hi again
at some point I poked my head over and went PLS COME TO NEW YORK and he said something back that I alas couldn’t hear rip
and then he started singing along to jj again sobs
but eventually at some point they left via the back door and I was like GOTTA GO THIS IS LITERALLY WHAT I’VE BEEN TRAINING FOR sobs going to the airport for yanjun and wenjun and jeffrey and ziyi and kunkun rly was to prepare me for one thing and one thing only and it was to practise getting good non-shaky fantakens without dying???
jingzuo rly truly looked AMAZING he rly rocks the white tee blue jeans and converse look jingzuo stans stay winning!!!
and honglin ;;;;;;; was holding my banner ;;;;;;;;
and he looked directly into my camera a couple times sobs and he shot hearts too I rly ???? Editing the photos made me cry so many times fbdjhfjf every time I got to those photos I lose my mind
ALSO ONLY AFTER EDITING THE PHOTOS I REALISED RUOTIAN WAS JUDGING ME SO HARD GHDJFJ my eyes were glued to honglin the entire time but looking at the photos again ruotian looked so unamused fhcjfhfbfhbf
speaking of ruotian my gOD editing photos with him in it is a nightmare y’all he’s either blinking or looks like he’s about to sneeze in nearly every picture fhdjfjfj summer and I generally make it a rule not to blur other members’ faces out of our fantakens but ruOTIAN RLY TESTING ME
but we made it to the banana lobby and I didn’t want to follow them and their fansites in so I stopped walking and honglin turned back to wave at me ;;;;;;;;;;;;;; and i think i died again
and so I went back to the event space where summer and mirthe and meggi were waiting and sat down and blanked out sobs
but it diDNT END THERE FHDJFJJF FOR SOME REASON HONGLIN DECIDED TO WALK OUT AGAIN A BIT AFTER
so mirthe and I were like omg gotta blAST so we speedwalked over
and he :—-( saw and shot signs at my camera again fhdjfjfjjf I ???
and then it was Actually Over god I was a shell of a person after that
still am tbh I’m not sure how I survived sorting through our 2000+ fantakens fhdjfjfj
but I’m so spoiled y’all I’m really truly so spoiled by him :—(
like I said earlier he rly spoils his fans so much????
that night he posted on Instagram and immediately summer and meggi and mirthe and I commented and he replied all four of us ;n;
earlier on in spring semester there was a third party event that Tangram was invited to but the organiser was a MESS and tgm wasn’t treated very well??? but honglin was worried that the fans who travelled to the event and didn’t get to see them were upset so he came into the group chat to console them ;;;;;
and I was talking to another fan and she said that even during other events he kept turning around to wave at the fans and acknowledge them and it’s ;;;;;; as someone who has ?? waited in the rain / stood for hours waiting for idols something as simple as a nod or a smile rly warms u up and makes the wind and cold worth it ;;;; and he makes sure to do it all the time ;;;;;;;;;
on his birthday !! his birthday !! when he was in Taiwan and should be resting and enjoying time w his mum and not thinking about us !!!! he still came into the group chat for an hour and talked to us ;;;;;;
and he named all his sort of more well known fans’ IDs, even the ones who weren’t online and sending messages at the time ;;;;; like he rly wasn’t lying when he said he remembers us ;;;;
also fhdjfjfjjf god I’m so spoiled he replied me so many times ?? like there was the times sq thing and the east coast thing ???
and when he said he was training for the next archery competition I was like “o are u shooting recurve or compound this time?” and he was like “o idk if I shot recurve or compound but it’s the one I shot the last time” and I fhdjfjfjfhfb
tangential but 1) my god y’all his form is beautiful my archery heart: exploded
2) his rhotics are so beautiful too my phonology heart: also exploded
also when he was about to leave the gc I was like “huh but u just got here, why are you leaving?” and he sent another voice message “astrofireworks, why are you becoming shameless too, when did I just get here, I’ve clearly been here for a long time already” fhdjfjdjfn fhdjjd
also my GOD He was reading some IDs and summer and lyla were like what about @astrofireworks and I was like fchjfbhjdf y’all it’s ok he’s alr said it in another voice message two months ago in the gc I’m alr so spoiled I ???? rly shouldn’t ask anything else of him or he’s going to hate me
but then he
sent
a whole
nine second message
“hey astrofireworks, I hope one day I can go to New York and maybe... I’ll meet you there, okay?”
and I ??,?? Sobbed
ndjdbfjvcchhxhdhfh
and then Connie went to send him off at the airport in Taiwan the next day and ????? 
I’m not gonna say much because it’s rly conno’s story to tell and I’m not sure how much I’m allowed to say outside the gc but he rly spoils his fans so so so so much ????
anyway bei honglin rly and truly is the sweetest boy on earth we rly don’t deserve him ;;;;; this first week of June truly has been the best week of my cpop stan life and i ????? love mister bei honglin with my entire heart and soul ;;;;;;;;;;;;

It’s A Date
Tumblr media
Pairing: Diana Prince x female reader
Word Count: 1617
AN: Enjoy this Diana trash. Idk how I haven’t written for her sooner.
“Want to see something cool?”
You jumped out of your seat, pen flying out of your hand and landing god knows where. The desk chair clattered against a nearby wall. “Oh my god!” You pressed a hand against your chest, trying to steady your heart rate. “Barry, we talked about this!” You couldn't sit back down in the desk chair, not when you felt so vulnerable and you felt the adrenaline coursing through you.
“Right, right, I know.” He seemed in a social mood. Ever since he started hanging out with his super friends he disappeared far more frequently, leaving you to work on your video game project without him. “‘Allen, don't you dare sneak up on me!’ Heh, yeah, I remember…” He imitated you poorly.
“This better be good.” You crossed your arms over your chest in a huff, waiting for him to spill.
“Someone wanted to meet you- and no, it's not Superman. He's a little busy in Atlantis.” His smile fell and you got the feeling he let something slip. “Shit.” Wait, Atlantis?
“Barry, why must I wait?” You heard a heavily accented voice call down through the open skylight in the center of the warehouse-type structure, effectively distracting you from Barry’s slip-up. You looked up and your breath caught in your throat at the sight of the radiant Amazonian princess. The sunlight formed a halo around her head.
“Superhero entrance! Come on, Di!” He yelled, throwing his hands. Diana Prince, Wonder Woman herself, slipped through the skylight and gracefully landed on her feet as simply as if she had stood up from a chair.
“Is that what you meant, Barry Allen?” She adopted a serious tone and fixed him with a concerned gaze. You, however, were stunned speechless. She was dressed in her battle armor, and her back was facing you. You studied her shield and it's intricate design, as well as her hair dangling in perfect dark ringlets over the top of it. She glanced over her shoulder at you and shot you a smile. You just about fainted. “Have I done something wrong?” She asked.
“No, no, you're perfect Diana.” He patted her shoulder and narrowed his eyes at you before he stepped around her and walked closer to you. She turned her body to follow him.
Barry held out his arms and wiggled his fingers towards the Amazon. “Ta-da!” Diana smiled at his enthusiasm as if she were smiling at a young child. An apt description of your working partner, Barry.
Your heart soared.
Then she turned her attention to you, and you felt like you were sinking into the floor.
“Diana, this is Y/N. Y/N has been here working on our video game that I was telling you about earlier-”
The Princess moved past Barry and walked up to you. You could only manage a half-smile due to your nerves reaching crisis levels. The way her eyes warmed as she got closer to you made you feel a little sick, as if you had eaten an entire bag of skittles. Which you might have actually done earlier.
“You are the writer, yes?” You glanced over at Barry, knowing if you opened your mouth all kinds of gibberish would pour out. You managed to nod.
“Yeah- yes, Y/N is writing it! We’ve got some concept art over here, maybe you could tell me if you think I can pitch it to Bruce yet?” Barry attempted to distract Diana before you turned into a puddle.
“What interest would Bruce have in a video game?” She asked, confused.
“You know what, that’s very true…” Barry noticed he was losing Diana’s focus. She kept looking at you. “Don’t worry about it! Look at these!” Barry pulled the tall woman over to the poster boards on the other side of Barry’s monitors. He shot you a look as he led her away and mouthed ‘what is wrong with you?’ before he was out of sight.
Oh shit oh shit oh shit. You had discussed your interest in ‘Wonder Woman’ with Barry but you never expected to meet her! How could he do this, with no warning? You had told him in confidence, and now here she was, parading around your workspace, dressed for battle. Though the only war was in your heart and she had conquered it immediately. You would have a hard time believing this was real once she was gone.
You took in a deep breath and shook out your arms, trying to get rid of your nerves. She was descended from Zeus, sure, but she probably just wanted to be treated like anyone else. You could do that, couldn’t you? You walked past your desktop and went around to join the pair as Barry was discussing the concept. Diana turned in your direction, a smile still on her face-
“Nope.” You turned right back around and headed for the warehouse doors. Perhaps some fresh air and distance would calm you down. If only Diana Prince wasn’t intimidatingly...perfect.
“Have I upset you?” A gentle hand stopped you. She stepped in your path. “Barry has talked so much about you, but if I have bothered you by coming here, I am very sorry.”
“Uh, definitely not. I’m just…” Diana waited expectantly for an explanation. You couldn’t look her in the eye and finish your sentence. You settled for studying the pommel of the sword sticking out over her shoulder. “...a little overwhelmed.”
“Oh, this?” She followed your eyes and pulled out her sword. “You have nothing to fear. I would never use it against you.” She held it in her hands and inspected the blade as if she were looking at a family pet.
“It’s not the sword, Di.” Barry peeked from around the monitors. Diana looked over at him. “It’s you.” You noticed understanding spread across her face. Fantastic, thank you Barry Allen. You and your big mouth.
“Barry!” You glared at him. If you were Medusa, he’d be stone. You’d tip him over with a finger and watch him shatter.
Diana sheathed her sword. “Can I ask you something?” You looked up into Diana’s kind eyes, completely distracted from your ideas of revenge. “I could take you to where I work, give you the secret tour?” You knew that Diana worked at the Louvre, restoring old pieces and preparing them for viewing. It sounded incredibly calm, and you wondered if she chose it to be closer to her own history, or if she just wanted a more relaxing day job considering her night job was action-packed enough. And what was the secret tour? Your mind filled with all sorts of inappropriate ideas of what a secret tour of the Louvre might be like.
“Uh...W-why would you do that for me?” It was a miracle your words even made sense.
“Your story, it is based on Greek mythology, correct? I could tell you what I know, and try to show you the rest, if you were interested.” What she was offering was wonderful, but if you were a mess now, imagine when it was just the two of you. “It would be wonderful to discuss my history with someone who understands...Maybe over dinner?” Your eyes widened. Diana Prince just asked you to dinner?
“She will go!” Barry yelled, knocking something over in his haste to reach the two of you. He zipped over and stopped next to you, crossing his arms over his chest. “She has no plans, ever.”
“Oh my god, rude!” You punched him in the shoulder and he winced.
“Ow! You know I bruise easily.” Diana’s laughter met your ears and you looked over at the warrior.
“Shall I meet you here tomorrow?” There were still traces of laughter in her face. She was beautiful. You couldn’t do this.
“I would really appreciate that, but I can’t ask that of you. You guys are so busy and I don’t know how long it takes to renew a passport but-”
“You don’t need to do all that.” She wasn’t kidding. Suddenly you were having trouble trying to come up with ways of getting out of this. “I can take you there myself.”
You let out a nervous laugh. “Oh wow, really?” Diana nodded. Her smile only barely concealed a bit of mischief. You swallowed.
“So, is that a yes?” She asked, stepping a little bit closer.
“I mean, how could anyone say no?” You could hear the unsteadiness of your voice and you were sure she could too.
“Good.” She let the corner of her mouth quirk upwards while the rest of her face remained neutral. She leaned in and pressed a soft kiss to your cheek. You would have fallen into her if Barry hadn’t grabbed the back of your sweater. Her knee-high armored boots echoed on the concrete floor as she headed for the door. She turned to face you as she opened it. “It’s a date.” She shot you a wink before the door shut and she was out of sight.
Barry let go of you and you swayed a little. You silently walked over to your abandoned chair and sat, the momentum rolling you away from the desk. “See? Aren’t you glad I-”
“I still want to kill you.” You cut Barry off.
“Perfect. That is so you. Not ‘oh Barry, thanks for landing me a date with a princess!’ or ‘thanks for introducing me to my future wife’. It’s just you wanting to kill me. As usual.” Barry sat on the desk next to you, peeking at the spot where you punched him earlier. “I swear it’s already purple.”
You ignored him, daydreams of Diana Prince filling your mind.

I figured at some point, I need to find some sort of diary or keepsake. Something to vent. I completely forgot about tumblr. Also I saw the Cecil hotel documentary, the girl keeps a sort of diary on here. Figured I’d do it too 😅
We went “camping” today and I felt at peace. I say camping bc it was in a cabin 🥲 With my parents. We went as a family. But idk if I’m just not happy at home or if my hormones are acting up again.
I feel like a piece of me is missing not being able to see my family. They are my peace. I come home and it’s nothing but bickering. I know we love each other. I know that for a fact. But I don’t feel like it’s shown to me anymore, and I feel like I need to be alone for a while. I don’t even know how to word how I feel. I don’t want to leave my husband but I also don’t feel that he cares for me anymore. Not the love part. I know he loves me... hopefully that feeling is right. But I feel he doesn’t care to show it anymore. He doesn’t show the consideration he once had for me. In fact, there’s no consideration at all. There’s close to nothing. And I feel at a loss.
While at the River, I didn’t feel the need or want to be close to him. He doesn’t want to be close to me when I want to give him affection, so why should I, ya know? I wanted to be with my mom. I wanted to be a kid again. I want to feel loved again. Even if it is by my mom with the love and patience that she has. I miss the affection my dad gives. I don’t even get a sort of affection from my husband. I don’t have any of that in my home. I have no sort of peace at home. I have no help at home. I have to beg and I shouldn’t have to. I shouldn’t have to ask for attention. I shouldn’t be longing for more ANYTHING and yet, here I am. Wishing I had more.
Will he see that? Probably not. Updates probably coming soon on here 🥲 I love my husband, I really do. But my gosh, marriage is hard. I can give and give but I feel I give more than I should have to sometimes.. households should be 50/50 but it’s more of a 90/10. What’s worse is he doesn’t work. Half the time he’s at home playing games or watching tv. I’ve tried to get some sort of system down to help me with chores and I’ve managed to get a hold on some sort of cleaning schedule but... there he is just being waited on.
I’m close to being over marriage. I’m close to moving on my own. I’m better on my own. I take care of myself better when I’m on my own. I don’t here. I have no motivation to take care of myself or anything here. No consideration for my feelings, or emotions.
But we’re home now. There’s my rant of the day. I’m cleaning out my car now. By myself 🙂 I don’t have a husband that cleans my car for me. I have a “you want this car, you take care of it yourself” kind of husband.
Anyways. Ta-ta 👋🏽

A/N: repost from the old blog
Tumblr media
Don’t let anyone tell you anything different, I was the best in the business.
Most of my peers were loath to admit it, but I wasn’t in this to make friends.
I was at the top of my game and I had collected accolades, monikers, and titles in every promotion I had stepped foot in. I left a trail of blood, sweat, and tears in every country. No one could fucking touch me. I was the Queen of the Cage, la Reina de las Reinas, the First Lady, but none if it meant anything without him.
All the achievements, the championships, the milestones were hollow with him missing from my side. Food tasted like ash and charcoal, alcohol had no effect anymore. He was everything. He was my mentor, my best friend, the love of my life. I wouldn’t be where I am, who I am without him.  He broke me apart to rebuild me, to make me better and stronger. He pushed and pulled me to do more, to be more.
I hated him.
God, I missed him.
I missed him so much it made my bones ache and my stomach drop through the floor.  He was the sun to my moon, the lightning to my thunder. He was my other half, he made me complete.
I was a scared nineteen year old kid when I met him in 2012. It was my first time out of the United States, my first big contract and with Stardom no less, and my first time honestly being able to support myself. I didn’t know Japanese at the time, I didn’t know anyone in the country… I was well and truly alone and feeling isolated. I was slow to make friends, picking up many more rivals than I could keep track of, and it felt like more often than not I was crying myself to sleep.
My first tour hadn’t gone well, accruing more losses than wins, and I was licking my wounds in a little dive bar in Roppongi, wanting nothing more than to disappear into the worn leather of the booth. I wanted to be left alone with my sake and then he slid into the booth with me, all bright eyes with a pearly white and coaxing smile. He’d said he’d been watching me, that he thought I was special, that with just a little help, I could take over women’s wrestling.
“A pretty little thing like ya deserves th’ world. Ye don’ have ta make a decision right now. Jus’ come see what ’m talkin’ about and then make up ye mind.”
Do you know how intoxicating that is? For a man that looked like him, with the accomplishments that he’d already had at the time, to be paying attention to little, ol’ me? To be paying me a kind word and a flirtatious smile? I was a nobody who’d been given a lucky break, a green and wet behind the ears rookie fresh out of the training schools.
I was deeply under his spell within minutes.
He swept me off my feet and we ran Japan for two wonderful, whirlwind years. We fought and we fucked and we took everything we wanted without apology. He was my soulmate and we were living our version of a fairy tale.
Then it all came crashing down around us in 2014 and he was gone.
He didn’t let me explain. He ignored my phone calls, my texts, my emails. He blocked me on all social media. I couldn’t get into touch with him. I was stuck between two impossible decisions, each one as painful as the other: I either turned my back on the family I helped create to chase a man who wouldn’t listen to me or I stayed with my support system, give them hell for the position that I was now put in, and pine after what could have still been.
I chose to stay, watching with pride as my little family got bigger and more powerful, but still longing for the man on the other side of the world. I was no saint, I had my dalliances when the nights got cold and the emptiness of my bed became overwhelming, but there was never another that affected me as deeply. Acquaintances of mine gave me sporadic updates as to how he was doing, but they were nowhere near as frequent as I would have liked.
Then he began to change, washing himself clean of everything he had been in Japan, and it felt like a slap in the face. I no longer recognized him, even if this new man wore the face of the love of my life. He was showing those people the side of him that was supposed to be only for me, the side that I saw when we were wrapped up in each other in the afterglow of our lovemaking. It angered me more than anything I had ever experienced in my life. I could see little glimpses of the man he was in Japan when he wore the body paint, ruthlessly efficient with the briefest flashes of a sadistic streak.
For the first time, I had hope. He was still in there somewhere, under that good Irish lad routine.
I could work with this.
Which was why I was here, in the gorilla position at RAW in some stupid American city, with this damn oversized hoodie on to disguise my appearance. Anderson had insisted on this measure, wanting the element of surprise for this six person tag. It wasn’t like he didn’t know I was with the company now, he had successfully avoided me at every company function and at the Performance Center after all.
Tonight though, he had nowhere to run.
“Be good pipsqueak.”
Luke marched past me to the curtain, pausing just briefly enough to press a kiss to my forehead. Karl was so much less subtle, wrapping me up into a bear hug with a bellow.
“We’ll see you out there sis! God this feels good! Just like old times!”
He let me go with a booming laugh, ruffled my hair, then disappeared with Luke through the curtains as their music hit. I was left alone with my thoughts and suddenly, the nerves I didn’t know were building made themselves known with a vengeance. I hadn’t felt this way since my first show, the nauseating roll of my stomach mixed with the frantic tattoo of my heart threatening to derail all of my hard work.
No, not this close to getting what I wanted.
The sound tech nodded at me and the showing of teeth I gave barely passed for a grin, quickly shedding the oversized hoodie and replacing it with an equally overlarge leather jacket. It had been one of the few things I still had from our time together… The lights dimmed and my music started, the foreboding drum track setting the mood. The guitars hit and I passed through the curtain to the screaming crowd as my name was emblazoned above me on the titantron.
Am I beautiful? As I tear you to pieces?
The roar of the crowd was thunderous and I could feel the vibrations of their screams in my chest. Normally, the cascade of boos and/or cheers created the most intense high, but right now?  There was no time to drink it in, my eyes drawn immediately to the ring. Karl and Luke were at the end ramp, looking entirely too satisfied with themselves. I didn’t care about the other two, Rollins and Bayley, not when he was right there, looking like he’d just seen a ghost.
His face was pale, eyes wide, and mouth agape in shock and the predatory grin that took over my face couldn’t be helped. Even after all these years, I still had an effect on him. I winked and straightened his jacket with a touch so slow it could have been mistaken for a caress. I sauntered my way down the ramp, my eyes never leaving him as he leaned over to hurriedly speak with Bayley, his hand gestures frantic. Bayley appeared skeptical, but there was a touch of worry there in the set of her mouth.
Whatever Finn was saying about me was likely true.
“Oh my god. That’s (Y/N) from NXT! What is she doing here? Is she Anderson and Gallows’ partner?”
“Are you dumb Michael? Of course she’s here as their partner! She decimated the NXT Women’s division, so why not get some fresh competition on RAW?”
I slid into the ring, between the top and second ropes, my eyes never leaving Finn. I didn’t play to the crowd or acknowledge anyone else in the ring, because it felt like everything else had fell away and every fiber of my being was screaming for him.
He looked almost exactly like he did in Japan. The lines around his eyes were a little deeper, the contours of his body a little sharper, the beard a little fuller than I remembered, but it was still him. Now if only he would not look so shaken by my presence, I’d be feeling a little more confident. I could faintly feel Luke and Karl flanking me and I gave Finn a slow, exaggerated once over, completely ignoring Bayley and Seth.
“Hello handsome. It’s been a while.”
The Irishman’s jaw clenched, the muscles in his jaw ticking, and he swallowed tightly at my words. He remained silent with flinty eyes and I pouted, disappointed at the lack of a more overt reaction. I heard what sounded like the bell and I was being cajoled by Karl back into our corner.
I wasn’t really paying attention to the match. I paid no mind to the chants of the crowd or to the curious looks from Finn’s partners. I was in a daze, my eyes only focused on the lean, sinewy body of Finn and trying not to be overwhelmed by the dizzying speed with which the memories assaulted me. I was in the middle of a particularly fond memory of a beach in Okinawa and tanning oil when Karl elbowed me sharply.
Bayley, the silly girl had tagged herself in, to the protests of Finn.
I wasn’t too proud to admit that the little green monster of jealousy flared at the concern he was showing for her. It was I that was with him when Bullet Club was formed. It was I who helped him to that second Best of the Super Juniors, and then picked him back up after his failed challenge to Okada. It was I who endured his rage after losing the title to Kota Ibushi. It was I who knew the darkest parts of his soul and still worshipped him regardless. I was the only person he should be looking at like that.
She was going to regret making herself special to him.
I kept my body deceptively relaxed as I entered the ring and stared down the former Women’s champion, head cocked to the side like she was a particularly fascinating insect. Bayley seemed to be caught off guard by my perceived disinterest in actually engaging her. I stood like that for several moments while my opponent circled me, the crowd becoming increasingly confused as well.
“Do something!”
I arched my brow at her cried words and still didn’t move. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Finn’s face contort in trepidation as he began to pace in his corner and Seth’s body language appeared to be equally as anxious. It was while my eyes weren’t on her that Bayley threw a clubbing forearm, my head twisting to the side as I staggered backwards and pain blooming across my jaw. I rubbed at the sore area, a small smile pulling at the corners of my lips as I turned back to her and I could feel the all too familiar buzz in my veins.
“This isn’t anything personal. You’re just in my way.”
Her eyes went wide as I hit her across the face with a European uppercut, her body crashing to the mat. She rolled towards the ropes, the gather herself, and I cocked my head to the side, a game plan forming. I let her pull herself up using the ropes and as soon as she was up to a vertical base, I aimed a sharp kick to the arm she had braced on the top rope. The crack of my boot hitting the tender flesh of the inside of her upper arm was satisfying and so was the way Bayley cradled her arm to her body.
“Tha’ barely stung, stór. Y'need ta kick me like y'hate me. Do ye want ta be a champion or a nobody? Do it again.”
The ghost of Devitt’s words echoed in my ears and added extra force to my strikes. The buzz that was in my veins began to intensify, the blows of my elbows, knees, and palms connecting with Bayley with the most satisfying sound of flesh striking flesh. It’s hard for anyone to get an offense going when they’re curled in on themselves, looking for any sort of reprieve in this kind of assault. Luke and Karl were behind me yelling encouragement and I could have sworn I smelled blood in the water.
“Yer hips are outta position again stupid girl. Yer never goin’ ta get the height on tha’ suplex and yer opponent will use it against ya. ’m not gonna fookin’ tell ya third time.”
Something as elementary as a suplex was what tripped me up. My hips weren’t positioned underneath Bayley’s, nor were they square enough to lift her. The former champion sensed it and was able to reverse my attempt at a German suplex into one of her own. I landed heavily on my shoulders, my head pounding against the mat, and I could have sworn I saw stars. Fuck, not like this. I had too much to prove.
A moment passed, then I realized over the roar of the crowd in attendance that she wasn’t making a pin attempt.
She began to crawl her way towards her corner, her hand stretching towards her teammates to tag someone, anyone in. Bayley’s digits were just mere inches from touching Finn’s outstretched hand in a tag, but she was just a hair too slow as I caught her by her boots.
“No one is goin’ ta help ya. Th’ queen’s job is ta protect th’ king. Remember yer role and don’t ask me again.”
“Won’t you help her Finn? She needs you!” I jerked Bayley back by her foot violently, before grabbing her outstretched arm and waving it mockingly in his direction. “Save her Finn!”
The boos and screams of disapproval made my blood sing.
Finn’s face was stony and Seth was yelling at the referee about sportsmanship as I grabbed Bayley by her ponytail and pulled her to the middle of the ring. I gave a small giggle before attempting to lock in a cross armbreaker.  I wasn’t quite fast enough as she locked her hands together and I couldn’t pry them apart. Sweat was burning at my eyes and my muscles were screaming, but I pushed it all aside as I kicked a boot to her face and got back to my feet.
I needed to end this.
Bayley was like dead weight and it was a struggle to get her to her feet, but I was able to manage it. I grabbed a fistful of her now loose ponytail and jerked her head upwards as I turned to make eye contact with Finn.
“Ye take what y'want. And make a fookin’  statement when ya do it. Now come and give me some lovin’.”
The feral grin couldn’t be pushed off of my face as I held my index finger and thumb to my opponent’s temple in a mimicry of a gun. Finn snarled, but it was already too late. I pulled Bayley up into Bloody Sunday and sent her crashing to the mat, quickly floating over for the pin.
Luke and Karl had snuck around the ring to pull both Finn and Seth off the apron to prevent them from breaking up the cover.
One.
Two.
Three.
“’m so proud of ya, stór. So fookin’ proud.”
He approached me a couple minutes after the match, in a seemingly abandoned hallway. It didn’t matter that he had a thundercloud over his head and an angry purpose in his walk. I lit up with a sunny smile when I realized I was his sole focus and God, did it feel good to be the only thing he could see again.
“Hey handsome! Are you proud of me? That was a really good match, wasn’t it? I did good right?”
I could feel myself practically vibrating with nervous energy and anticipation. He was here, in front of me, and I had his undivided attention and I was blind to his anger.
“What th’ fook is wrong with ya, (Y/N)? That wasn’t a match, that was ye tryin’ ta hurt Bayley!”
I blinked, confused. Why was he so concerned about Bayley?  I beat her, that’s what mattered to Dev- Finn.
“But I won? That’s what you told me always mattered. Besides, I’m here now! We can be like we were!”
He shook his head, a wan smile on his face. “Un-fookin-believable. Is that what ye really think?”
I knew he would be different, I just didn’t know that it would be like this. The hurt and the confusion pumped through me, my brows furrowed.
“I don’t understand Devitt. What has this place done to you? You make a little more money and then you go soft? Or do you just not believe in yourself anymore?”
“’m not Devitt anymore. It’s been a long time (Y/N), ’m not the same man ye knew in Japan.”
I snorted derisively, venom on the tip of my tongue. The hurt remained, but the confusion was quickly morphing into anger. He didn’t see it, he would always be Devitt. You don’t just throw away pieces of your personality, of yourself, simply because you’re afraid of it.
“That much is clear. The man I knew in Japan was fearless, he took what he wanted and when he wanted it. He didn’t care about how he got it or what the fans thought about him,” I spat the words like they were something disgusting at him. “The man I knew in Japan wouldn’t have become this castrated shadow  that’s standing in front of me.”
Finn’s face went slack for just a moment, the barest of moments, in shock before the fire sparked in his eyes and his visage twisted into an angry snarl.
“Ye don’t get ta say shit like that ta me. Not after what ya did.”
I felt like I had been slapped, the air rushing from my lungs. I knew we’d be discussing this eventually, but like this? So soon? And in an empty fucking hallway?
“If you would have let me explain after it happened instead of shutting me out like a child, you would have known that I wasn’t involved! They didn’t tell me any-”
“But ya still stayed with them! Ya still stayed and ya did nothing. If that doesn’t tell me all I need ta know about it, I don’t know what will.”
The anger that bubbled within me was swift and all consuming.
“I had no other choice Dev- Finn! Was I supposed to turn my back on people that you made like family to me? To be alone again? Would that have made you happy? Would you have spoken to me then? ”
His bark of laughter was condescending and for a moment, just a moment, I thought it was the man I fell in love with in front of me. The cold cruelty and the rapier tongue, the vicious sneer and the calculating eyes… Beneath the burn of anger in my veins, my heart swelled with hope. He was still there.
“Family? Do ye fuck the new head of the family to welcome them? Did ya call AJ daddy? How long did it take for ya to hop inta Omega’s bed? Or maybe Cole’s more yer taste, ya do like them pret-”
The crack of the slap echoed through the hallway, Finn’s head snapping to the side from the force of my palm striking his cheek. The palm of my hand felt numb from the force of the slap and I could have sworn I heard the barest of growls escaping from Finn’s mouth, but I continued, any sense of self preservation fleeing in the face of my own fury.
“Don’t you fucking dare. Don’t you ever doubt how I feel about you. Nothing ever happened with Styles or Cole. And where do you get off trying to pull that shit? Like you’ve been a fucking saint since Japan. I know all about the rats.”
Finn touched the angry red handprint on his cheek, rubbing at it tenderly.
“So it was Omega then. ‘ow did I know? Figures ye’d go fer someone as mentally fooked as you.”
My vision tinged red.
With a shriek I launched myself at him, fingers outstretched in a crude imitation of claws, with every intention of gouging those pretty blue eyes out.
Gallows, from seemingly out of nowhere, materialized, wrapped his arms around my waist mid air, and proceeded to frog march me out of the hall. Ever so faintly, from behind me as I was flailing helplessly in the much taller man’s arms, I could hear Anderson trying to talk Finn down from the rage he was inevitably in.
I caught Gallows’ muttered words though, the anger fleeing my body and a feeling of satisfaction settling into my bones, and I just knew that I looked like the cat who caught a canary.
“God, it’s like we’re in Japan all over again.”
Several weeks went on like that. I was the cat and he was the mouse and God, did I enjoy the chase. There was just something so primal and satisfying about this. I would show up at ringside for his matches, never interfering, but just watching. I made sure to get underfoot whenever he was going anywhere, always with an offer of help and a smile. We were even arguing with each other again, which was something I always looked forward to.
Fale used to joke that arguing and fighting was practically foreplay for us.
He was a little rattled at first.
I was wearing him down, I just knew I was.
He had called me stór during one of our many arguments.  He’d visited me, ever so briefly, in the training room when it was thought that I sustained a concussion in a match with Banks. When he thought I was asleep on a flight, Finn had walked by and brushed a lock of hair behind my ear.
Finn seemed to be changing as well. His temper was shorter, which was leading him to become more easily frustrated in matches. On more than one occasion, I had tracked the Irishman’s eyes to a chair or to the ramp. I had even caught him looking like he was about to call to me for assistance when I was at ringside during a house show. He seemed to have realized what he was about to do as well, because he looked like he swallowed a lemon.
Things escalated one Monday night, in the dead of summer.
Finn was on his way to the title match with Brock and that pesky swamp man kept getting in the way. Wyatt made my skin crawl and just meeting his eyes once was enough for me to start checking behind me in dark hallways and parking lots. So it was with a great deal of dread that I made the decision that I did when it was apparent that Wyatt had brought lackeys with him to interrupt Finn’s match.
The lights had cut and then that eerie music began to play for just a moment.
Then the music cut and there was just darkness.
I was in the back watching on a screen, Anderson and Gallows nowhere to be seen, and the hair immediately began to stand on the back of my neck. This wasn’t good and I couldn’t leave him out there alone without backup.
The lights came up and I was out of the dressing room like a shot out of the barrel of a gun.
Wyatt and his two large masked lackeys were in the ring, Finn surrounded, and Reigns knocked out cold on the floor.
I at least had the wherewithal to grab a steel pipe on my way to the ring.
The crowd was confused, exploding into simultaneous cheers and boos as I charged down the ramp to the ring, where Wyatt was laughing and not paying me any mind.
Which was fine by me.
I slid into the ring and swung for the fences into one of the mask wearing lackey’s abdomens. The vibrations up the pipe from the force of the strike hurt my hands, but I couldn’t stop. There were three of them and one of me, Finn and Reigns being of no help after their beatdowns. Wyatt was relaxed against the ring post, his head cocked to the side with a the strangest grin on his face. The second masked goon charged, his arm held out for a clothesline.  The one thing I did have going for me was  agility and I was able to duck underneath the thick arm, to pivot and strike at the man’s low back.
The way the man dropped was only satisfying for a moment.
I had turned my back to Wyatt and when I turned around, I was kicked in the stomach, the air rushing out of me audibly and the pipe dropping from my hand. Before I was able to recover, I was bent backwards into a horrifying dip. Air was still a precious resource and the lack of it limited my struggles as Wyatt laughed, then he pressed a scratchy kiss to my forehead.
I thought I heard a shout from where Finn lay, then darkness.
The world came back to me just a moment later, with Gallows’ worried face swimming in my vision.
“What the hell, pipsqueak?”
I went to laugh, but I groaned at the pounding in my skull. Medics came to attend to me and I waved them off. It was going to take more than that to keep me down and needing medical attention. Groaning, I moved to sit up in an upright position.
“’m fine ’m fine. Finn, is Finn okay?”
Gallows’ barked laugh startled me and made my head throb, but he was shaking his head with a fond grin and he leaned back onto his heels.
“I guess some things never do change. See for yourself.”
It was then, over the dull roar of the crowd, that I could make out the accented shouts that could only be from one person and my heart swelled painfully as I turned towards them. For a moment, it’s like I was back in Japan.
“Did ye really think ye’d get away with this? ’m gonna rip ya to fookin’ pieces!”
Old Machine Gun, bless him, was attempting to hold back an absolutely enraged Irishman who just so happened to be wielding the steel pipe I had dropped. Wyatt was laughing maniacally at ringside, security surrounding him and his two masked lackeys. Off on the other end of the ring, the medical staff were tending to a groggy looking Reigns. Luke put a thick arm around my frame and hoisted me to my feet, mumbling the entire time about how the last time this happened, Captain New Japan was in the hospital for a week.
“The queen always comes to protect the king, Balor! Just like I knew she would!”
The roar that tore out of Finn’s body was damn near inhuman and he lunged forward towards the ropes, the pipe at the ready. Karl cursed, leaning into the Irishman to keep him from attempting to commit murder. My blood buzzed pleasantly at the way that he seemed so intent on caving in Wyatt’s skull, seemingly because the other man had mentioned me.
“Easy there Finnegan! Hey! Hey cool it man! She’s up and moving!”
He whirled around, seemingly possessed, with eyes ablaze and the steel pipe at the ready.
Those molten blue-gray eyes made contact with mine and time seemed to slow. Everyone else fell away and it felt the only two people in an arena of fifteen thousand was Finn and I. Electricity crackled in the air and through my body and Finn took a hesitant step forward, hesitation and uncertainty clear in his body language. He was angry (with both myself and the creepy swamp man, no doubt), concerned with how heavily I was leaning on Gallows, and for the first time, in a long time, lust.
“Don’t you ever doubt me again.”
I had to be helped both backstage and to the hotel room that night.
My head was pounding and my neck was painfully stiff. I’d been here before, no amount of compresses or painkillers would help, just sleep and time. Gallows and Anderson hovered like burly mother hens until I threatened to smother them with pillows and then they mercifully left. I had been cleared of a concussion by the medical staff, there was no need for this, especially when we had been in Japan together and they’d seen me in much, much more dangerous situations.
I had to force myself to take a shower after that. Every movement was a struggle, the little twinges of pain constant and annoying. Each time I blinked, I saw Finn on the inside of my eyelids. The way his face had set in determination when I had spoken to him tonight, the fierce brightness in his eyes, the way every muscle in his body seemed to be tensed in preparation for something…
Sleep was within my reach, curled up on the too soft mattress in an overly large t-shirt, limbs heavy when I was unceremoniously pulled from the world of dreams by a series of heavy knocks at the hotel door. I groaned, pulling a pillow over my head. Maybe if just ignored whoever it was at the door, they would take the hint and leave.
Luck was not on my side, as the knocks became louder and so much more insistent. I punched at the pillowy mattress with a growl before vaulting myself off the bed and stomping to the door, my mood fouling with each step. If it was Gallows or Anderson, I was going to take more than a pound of flesh.
My heart stuttered and my breath caught as I peered into the peephole.
Dev- Finn. Finn was outside of my room. His face was dark and unreadable, his body language tense and filled with barely restrained energy.
My fingers shook as I unlatched the locks on the door and I could feel sweat beginning to bead along my hairline.
As soon as the hotel room door was open enough to face Finn, he was suddenly surrounding me. There were no words spoken, not when his mouth was moving almost viciously against mine, all teeth and tongue. One hand had a bruising grip against my hips, the other cradling my face tenderly, and then my back hit the wall with a thud. I could have sobbed at the sudden rush of emotion and arousal.
He’d come home. 
“Can’t stay away from ya anymore.”
The words were murmured against my mouth, as he made short work of large, worn sleeping shirt I was wearing. The cotton fabric gave way underneath his large hands, the delicate lace of my panties shredding with ease, the elastic of the waistband biting into the flesh of my hips before it gave way. The sting of the elastic made me gasp and Finn took that opportunity to place biting kisses along the sensitive skin of my neck. The feel of his lips and teeth sent a livewire of arousal to my core, the flesh between my thighs becoming uncomfortably slick.
The hand on my hip traveled to my core and dipped in, to test to see if I was ready. His sudden touch on my overheated flesh sent me arching against him with a lusty whimper and the smirk on his face alone was enough to bring me to the brink of an orgasm. There was a rustle of clothing and then my right leg was being lifted to loop around his hip, the thick and blunt head of his cock pressing against the opening to my core.
“P-please Finn. Missed this, missed you!” I barely recognized my own voice in the high pitched whine that squeaked out of me. His hips snapped forward sharply giving me no time to adjust, the sudden stretch right at that razor’s edge of pleasure blending into pain.
“Yer gonna wanna hold on, stór.”
I scrambled to grasp his shoulders, forced onto tip toes to keep this angle that made me pant with pleasure. Finn, somehow after all this time, was still able to find that one spot hidden inside of me that made my toes curl and my fingernails dig into his shoulders. His breath was labored and he littered bites along my neck and shoulders. With every new mark, I could feel my orgasm creeping closer and closer.
He wrapped a large hand around my throat and leaned in to mutter filth about how much he missed this and how I felt so much better than he remembered. The pressure on my neck was mounting with every snap of his hips, air becoming more precious and my vision going fuzzy.
“Scream fer me. We’re jus’ gettin’ started.”
His hand came off of my throat and I came apart with a scream, just as I was commanded.
He was exactly as I remembered, completely insatiable. No surface in that small hotel room went unused, the bed being saved for the last two rounds. I fell asleep with my head over his heart, deliciously sore and sated with a soft smile.
He came back.
I woke up to an empty bed the next morning.
“One! Two! Three! He did it! Finn Balor has taken back the championship he never lost!”
I had never been so proud of him.
I hadn’t seen him since that stolen night in the hotel less than a week ago. He had been successful in avoiding me, my little black heart tugged painfully at the possible thought that what had happened was our final hurrah.
“Do you wanna go congratulate him pipsqueak?”
My head snapped to Gallows, who was watching me with soft eyes and a knowing smile on his face. The big man was deceptively perceptive and he seemed to prefer it when people underestimated him. He’d never once corrected anyone, preferring to let others just think he’s muscle.
“Can we?”
The words came out a little bit more earnest than I intended to, but Gallows just gave a grin and shouted at Machine Gun to come on out, that we were going to give Balor an early victory celebration. Karl gave a woop of excitement, hurrying everyone out the door of the dressing room.
It’s as we were making our way to the gorilla position, that the monitors showed we weren’t the only ones with the same idea. Ambrose, Reigns, and Rollins had joined the new champion in the ring, appearing to both congratulate him and throw their name into the metaphorical ring for a title shot.
The heads of the four men snapped towards the ramp as the Club’s music hit and we started down the ramp. The former members of the Shield were tense, clearly preparing for a confrontation, but Finn… Finn was pretending to be ready for a fight.
I knew him better than I knew myself. I was able to read every mood, every subtle shift in body language. It was part of the reason our relationship was so turbulent in the past, we knew exactly where to needle each other. He was putting on a front for the three other men, but why?
Then I saw it.
The barest of winks. The smile that split across my face could only be described as maniacal.
Not only had he come back home, he was coming back home completely whole.
I knew my Prince would come back.

11 Questions Meme
I was tagged by @letthepeoplesay-oh and @ta-dala -- thanks both of you because I love these! Also I’m just going to combine these into one long post so I cut it so it wouldn’t be ridiculous.
Rules: Answer the questions given to you. Make 11 questions of your own. Tag 11 people.
First set: (letthepeoplesay-oh)
1. If you could have any animal (real or fictional) as a pet, what would it be? My actual dog is pretty awesome, but that’s probably not the point of this question. So I’m going to say a red panda because they are the cutest animal and that’s a fact.
2. What’s your Hogwarts house? (Or your best guess, if you’re not a fan!) I spent all my life thinking I was a Hufflepuff, but Pottermore put me in Ravenclaw.
3. If you could change the smell of rain to any other smell, what would you choose? Ummmm so I can’t actually smell so I don’t really know how to answer this question. Isn’t the smell of rain supposed to be pleasant? 
4. What was your favorite book as a child? Haha well ok. My sister and I always loved to check out There’s a Hippopotamus on Our Roof Eating Cake by Hazel Edwards from the library. I don’t know what we loved about it, maybe that the hippo got up to so many strange activities on a roof? So we recently found it super cheap on Amazon and reread it, and it’s actually kind of creepy? There’s a line where the kid is talking about how they like to watch TV and it goes “He watches. I know he does.” So anyways. We liked a weird book.
5. If the police came to your house to arrest you right now, what crime would they charge you with? Listen, when it comes to cops, I am basically Ben Wyatt. I’m Lawful Good. I’ve refused to jaywalk before. I don’t even know how to answer this. I cannot imagine myself committing a crime.
6. If you could sit on a bench in a beautiful woods, who would you like sitting next to you on the bench and why? My fiance because we always go hiking together and idk there’s no one else I’d rather be with 
7. If you could choose your age forever, what age would you choose and why? I think 27? Idk why it just seems like the sweet spot between feeling young and feeling old? At least for me. 
8. What’s your earliest childhood memory? I used to say it was when I was 3, sitting in our backyard in San Antonio, our neighbor’s ball landed in our backyard and I liked it so I just decided to keep it. But I think that’s more a memory of a memory at this point. So I’m going to go with... I was 4, saw Beauty and the Beast on ice at Hershey Park in PA, would fall asleep listening to the soundtrack.
9. If you could go back in time and change history, what would you change? Everything? There’s too much badness in history, I’m struggling to pick one thing. Maybe stopping Christopher Columbus. I think this would have just delayed the horribleness that was wrought upon the Americas but... maybe if he was stopped, it could have been different. Anyways Orson Scott Card wrote a book about this (Pastwatch: The Redemption of Christopher Columbus. It’s probably problematic (I mean the title sounds kind of problematic); I haven’t read it in years, and Card has a tendency to be problematic. But it certainly was an interesting thought experiment.)
10. If you were to change your name, what name would you adopt going forward? I used to use Fiona as a pen name before I started using Callioope... I guess I also like Abigail. I wanted to use this name for a future kid, but my fiance’s aunt is named Abigail so now we can’t use it. Dumb. Anyways I’ve always felt really lucky that I like my name and wouldn’t want to change it.
11. How do you like to spend a rainy day? Curled up on the couch, hot tea in hand, reading.
Second set: (ta-dala)
1. What is the “craziest” thing you’ve done for the love of something? Well. I went skydiving for my fiance. I have a strong fear of heights, he’d been wanting to do it for years and said he’d prefer to share such a life experience with me (so he wouldn’t go with anyone else). I refused for many years, but this past summer I finally took the leap (har har) and bought a groupon for it for his bday. I actually ended up having a blast, so I’m glad I went, but… I definitely thought it was a thing only crazy people do, before I did it.
2. What is your ultimate bucket-list travel destination? I would have said Efes, but I had the fortune of going there in 2014. (Both my user pic and cover pic are from Efes.) Otherwise there are so many places I want to go that it’s hard to choose just one. Hmmm we didn’t do Pamukkale when we were in Turkey soo maybe that. I mean, basically, ancient ruins are usually at the top of my list. And there are a lot of ancient ruins in Turkey along the southwest coast that we didn’t go to that I want to go back for. Oh and hot air ballooning in Cappadocia!
3. Cats or dogs? Dogs. I have nothing against cats, but I grew up with dogs all my life because my mom was allergic to cats.
4. If you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would it be? I mean, right now I’m sleepy and still not quite 100% (but very close) recovered from being sick, soo… being at home, in pjs, on my couch is pretty appealing. But my usual answer to this is somewhere in Turkey, or maybe München. I’d move to München if distance was somehow made negligible by science fiction-esque modes of transportation and thus I wouldn’t be so separated from friends and family.
5. Write me a piece of advise that you’d go back and give to your younger self. Perfection is the enemy of good enough — you don’t even have to be great at something as long as  you try and give it the best you can.
6. Share one sentence of something you’ve written and tell me why you like it. “She discovers him on Endor, eyes dark and far away even after the Death Star disintegrates into fireworks above them, and they spend a night separate from the celebration, their own relief soft and slow and solemn as they reconcile their fears of tomorrow against its new promises.” from “if i wait (will you stay?)”
I enjoyed writing the imagery here; I liked the idea of Jyn and Cassian keeping their celebration of the destruction of the second Death Star private, it’s too deep and personal for them; I liked the alliteration of ‘soft and slow and solemn.’ The victory/beginning of the end of the war would be so charged for them because this is a war they’ve been fighting all their lives and it’d be the first glimpse of the light at the end of the tunnel and I think that would terrify them as much as it would excite them.
7. Can you still love/be a fan of something/someone and be critical of a choice or decision? Why or why not? ABSOLUTELY!!! Thank you for this question, this is a good question and one I feel very strongly about. (Look, I’m a fan of A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones, there’s no way I haven’t learned how to take enjoyment from something while still being critical of it.)
I’d argue that maybe you don’t really love something until you’re honest about its faults. That seems a little dramatic to say though. And I don’t want to devalue someone’s love of something because they’re not critical of it. (Also, some things just… are less problematic.)
With my own experience in fandom, I’ve felt more sincerely and honestly connected and engaged with a work once I’ve acknowledged its criticisms. I think it comes about naturally when you pay enough attention to something or analyze it deeply enough. And to some extent (depending on the work), I feel if I wasn’t honest about its faults, there’d be a level of idolization happening that isn’t 100% sincere. Placing works or people on a pedestal is dangerous. Understanding the faults of a person or thing, to me, seems like a more true/sincere/honest understanding of it.
Also, nothing in this world is 100% Perfect and Good. It’s possible for a Thing or Person to both propagate very good, positive, progressive ideas and beliefs and commit mistakes and misunderstandings that aren’t great. In fact, most things in life are probably this way. Open honesty about how something is good and how something is bad is a natural, and I’d say necessary, course for progressing and improving and gaining a better understanding of the world.
8. Rogue One. Dead or alive?  ;) I don’t… I don’t understand this question. What do you mean dead? Why would they be dead? Obviously alive… :P
9. You can only eat one food the rest of your life. What is it? (You really didn’t want to ask me this question. I apologize in advance.)
It’s potatoes. There are so many different ways to cook them. I’m assuming that I’m allowed to cook them in different ways? Boil ‘em, mash ‘em, stick ‘em in a stew? I mean, in addition to what Samwise already wisely (heyyy) pointed out, there’s baked potatoes, potatoes au gratin, Hasselback potatoes, roasted potatoes — and so many ways to roast them! You can also make french fries, you can make potato chips. Cream of potato soup. Hash browns! Tater tots! Gnocchi! (I have leftover gnocchi from Maggianos in the fridge and it’s time for dinner and guess what I’m doing when I’m done here. I took a break to eat) And honestly?? I’ve only really covered western cooking for potatoes here. I’ve had potatoes in Indian cuisine that is delicious!! I just can’t remember what any of those dishes were called.
Look, I just googled all the ways you can cook potatoes and the first line of the first link that came up said “the potato is the Mariah Carey of vegetables.” They’re not wrong.
10. Give me your Desert Island Discs list. This was very hard and for the record, these only reflect my tastes as of today.
Records: 
All This and Heaven Too by Florence + the Machine
Sibelius Symphony No. 2 by Jean Sibelius
While My Guitar Gently Weeps by The Beatles
(Can I count the end of Abbey Road as one medley? I mean, can I just bring Abbey Road? Only one song? FINE) it’s going to be whatever the best cover of Carry That Weight is with the longest jam session in it, research pending
Night on Bald Mountain by Modest Mussorgsky
Between Two Lungs by Florence + the Machine
Cassiopeia by Sara Bareilles
Howl by Florence + the Machine
On the Radio by Regina Spektor
A Day in the Life by the Beatles
Book of my choice: The Golden Compass. But I was very tempted to take Wicked. Gregory Maguire’s prose is next level it’s so beautiful I just…. But he’s a little darker for me. The Golden Compass has been a solid fave for a long time.
One luxury item… pen and paper?
11. What is your favorite curse word? I’m not really creative when it comes to cursing, I generally just say ‘fuck’ a lot.
My questions:
What was your favorite game to play as a child?
You hear just the first few notes of a song, recognize it instantly, and are filled with joy -- what song is it?
Name any goal you ever set for yourself that you are proud to have accomplished.
If you had to pick a senior yearbook quote today, what would it be?
What would your daemon be? (aka an animal manifestation of your ‘inner self’)
What was the first concert you ever went to?
If you were a city, what city would you be and why?
If you could automate a chore so you wouldn’t ever have to do it anymore, what would it be?
What is something you’ve learned in the past year?
Name a person, real or fictional, that has inspired you and explain how.
What is something anyone can do to make the world around them just a little bit better?
Tagging: @ta-dala (you seemed like you wanted more tags, so tagging you back! :) ), @theputterer, @magalis, @latinaspitfire, @thenewleeland, @estherlyon, @thestarbirdfromtheashes, @jenniferjuni-per, @lustfulpasiphae, @caffeinosis, @imsfire2 (and of course the disclaimer: no pressure/no worries if you don’t want to do it! and apologies if you’ve done it already)

A Little Wicked - Part 1
"Hey Prez", I called out when I saw Chibs entering the clothing store I worked in. He pushed his sunglasses to the top of his head, the purple lenses catching the light. He gave me half smile as he walked my way and pulled his leather gloves off.
 "Hi, lass. Didn't see ye at Red Woody last night, everythin' okay?" I blinked. I didn't really think he notice, after all I was one crow eater among, well, a lot. Me calling him "prez" was pushing it too far already, I had exchanged only small talk with Chibs. That was it - not even bodily fluids, which was crow eater standard. 
 "Yeah, great. It was my sisters birthday last night and she had a party." He nodded comprehensively and then his eyes looked at the clothes around us. "Was wondering if ye could help me with somethin'." He wiggled his brows slightly and I raised one in response.
 "Christmas is coming and I need ta get a gift for a lass. Should probably get gifts for ma brothers too." I nodded, wondering what 'lass' was that. "Didn't know you guys were celebrating Christmas at the M/C this year." I said, shooting him a look over my shoulder as I flipped through some women clothes on the rack.
"Followin' a good catholic conduct." He said, coming to stay close to me again, one had over his heart dramatically as he pulled an innocent face. I chuckled and he gave me a little laugh which quickly disappeared and his face grew very serious. "I thought it'd be a good idea. Jackie's gone. The club needs somethin' to bring us all togetha." 
My heart sunk when I heard how pitiful his voice grew when talking about Jax. Jax had be nothing but nice to me in my three years as a crow eater. Always calling me darling, thanking me for helping with Abel and Thomas specially after Tara's murder, always gave me a little kiss on the forehead when leaving to go home. Chibs had known him for how many years? It had to hurt. 
I shifted on my feet uncomfortably, wanting to comfort Chibs but not knowing how to. "I'm so sorry, Chibs. I know how close you two were." I said in a small voice. He shook his head, his brown eyes meeting mine for a moment and then lowering to the ground. 
When he raised his eyes again all the sadness was gone. "This lass I need ta get a gift for, she's abou' yer height." He stepped back, looking me over. I stayed very still, presuming he was measuring me up. I couldn't help but blush a little, even knowing he wasn't checking me out but still, how could I not? A hot man with an even hotter accent looks you over and you're not gonna blush? Impossible. "A little more hips than ye." He concluded. 
"Okay. What kind of clothes she like?" He tugged at his beard. "Thas a good question. Dunno, actually." I gave him a little smile, assuming my job role. "We can work something out. I'll show you some things."
 I showed some of the less conservative clothes: low cut shirts, tight jeans and dresses. He shook his head at every one of them, sometimes wrinkling his nose at them. Finally, I started to get curious about who this 'lass' was and I just couldn't help myself anymore. 
"Is it Jarry?" He had been fumbling with the edge of his kutte and his head shot up when he heard my question. I immediately regretted asking. I sensed I had just stepped into dangerous territory and felt the need to excuse myself. 
"I heard Quinn talking to Hap about watching you and Jarry on top of the car. I thought, y'know, you two were together. And that these", I showed him the hangers I was holding on to, "were for her." 
He watched me for a moment, one raised brow, his lips slightly parted. Very slowly he shook his head. "No. I'm not seeing Althea anymore."
 "Got it." I said, putting the hangers back in the rack and avoiding eye contact with Chibs. 
 "It's for my daughter. Kerrianne. I'm sending her a gift. She lives in Belfast." I suddenly understood why he was saying no to every piece of clothing I showed him. No father would like to see his daughter dressing in a sexy way. "Got it." I repeated, a little smile playing on my lips. 
One hour later I was folding all the clothes Chibs decided to buy and placing them in a bag. He watched me all the while. I could feel the weight of his eyes on me, scrutinizing me. I struggled not to look up at him.
"Why do ye do this?" He asked very slowly. I had to look up at him then, giving him a quizzical look. "Sell clothes? 'Cause I need money." 
"No. Why are ye a crow eater?"
 "What's that supposed to mean?" I asked, digging my fingers on the coat I had just folded. He pulled his lips down. 
"Ye don't look the type, Vivi." Him calling by my nickname flew completely over my head. I got very defensive.
"I don't look the type? I have a nice ass, tits and tattoos. Nice face too. Isn't that the crow eater uniform?" His eyes stopped at my boobs and I knew he was checking me out then. Probably would have checked out my ass too, had he not been on the other side of the counter. Even though I was angry, I felt my body get warm all over as he checked me out. 
"Aye, it is. But yer... different from th’ other crow eaters. They launch themselves at us but ye... yer very quiet. Don’ really seem all that interested in a bunch o’ biker criminals.” He crooked his head to the side, still staring at me.
“I am interested.” I said stubbornly, stuffing all the clothes inside a big bag. “I have lots of interest. Bad ass bikers? Yum!” I leaned forward on the counter with a teasing smile and winked at him. Chibs grinned wide and shook his head to the side, I leaned back and laughed. “See? Showing interest.”
“Aye. I jus’ worry abou’ ye, thas all. Ye could’ve been doin’ somethin’ else wit yer life instead of hangin’ with Samcro.”
I shook my head as I tapped on the computer screen, pulling Chibs’ receipt. “Not much I can do, Prez. I sell clothes, read books and look pretty. That’s it. It will be $73,89.”
He pulled a stack of dollar bills from his kutte pocket, counted eighty dollars and handed it to me.
“I’m sure there’s more. Nice crow eaters? Yum.” He imitated, winking at me. I chuckled. He picked up the bag of clothes and started to turn away. “Ye comin’ to Red Woody tonight?” I nodded. “Hav’ a beer with me then and ye can tell me all abou’ selling clothes and reading books.”
I blinked, my hand hovering over the change I still had to give him. “You’re asking me on a date?” I finally gathered the strength and stretched the money to him. He shook his head.
“Showin’ interest. Keep th’ change, lass. See ye later.” He gave me one last leer to show interest and left.
I stayed there, kinda dumbstruck, realizing that that leer wasn’t meant as a joke. 
Chibs had just hit on me. Holy Jesus.
Okay, okay. I was so going to Red Woody tonight.
------
little story i’m creating here. idk i thought it was kind boring but i just wanted to introduce Vivi in a playful way. I have Vivi’s backstory here.

You posted a god!au awhile ago that had a snippet of another idea i thought was really interesting. Ace steals something from the gods and gods marco and sabo get sent after him, except they fall in love? it sounds so cool!
“except they fall in love” sighs happily yes I really Love that sort of schtick. Like!!! whoops didn’t mean to but oh no it’s Here. Feelings. Anyway it was based a LOT on the myth of Prometheus because like come ON, stealing fire….it’s totally ace omfg. So it took a while to figure out?? a plot?? ajhsdgf
ANYWAY AFTER LIKE 3000 YEARS!!!!!!!! (I’m so sorry) 
Commissions || Ko-Fi || [Requests are closed!]
So basically in the sort of deity system set up here, there’s three levels - you got your all-powerful fuckers ala Zeus/Poseidon/Hades (who???? Idk??? maybe one of them is Whitebeard?????????? Something like Sky/Sea/Earth and like, Dragon for Sky and Roger for Sea and Whitebeard for earth but at the moment the position for Sea is under contest ‘cause Roger just up and fucked off omfg. So Luffy’s a minor god gunning to replace him against a bunch of other gods!! But at the moment Sea is controlled by a couple of other 2nd Tier gods.)
 And they’re basically omnipotent but also they’re not allowed to interfere in the mortal world and they’re very Greek God in that they make mistakes too and That’s Just What Happens when you give ultimate power to immortal idiots. Regardless, they basically just Do Shit when they get prayed to in special places and by a heap of people. They’re the end-of-all-wars shit gods, and they Rule the. God place. Hence forth referred to as Olympus ‘cause I can’t think of a name atm and this is based enough off Greek mythology for me to get away with it haha. 
Second tier gods are like, gods of wisdom and power and war and math (////side note if I wrote this as original fic he’d be really calm and logical all the time and be an ear to the gods and talk about probability all the time but his siblings are the Fates equivalent and they FUCK WITH HIM SO MUCH WHEEZES).Anyway 2nd tier gods work as the go between for the 1st Tier and 3rd Tier gods. They do some shit in the human world, fuck around, make some miracles etc., but most of the work is left to 3rd tier godssss lIKEEE
marco and sabo!!! 3rd tier gods are really fucking specific. Like, god of stubbed toes, god of papercuts, god of singing in the shower, etc. They all are ordered around under different 2nd tier gods (eg. the god of papercuts and the god of stubbed toes would both work under the god of pain and stuff like that.) I’m not 100% sure but I think Marco’s a god of faith to family?? or like, faith to loved ones?? And Sabo’s god of forgotten memories. (He forgets things, but then he’s god of forgotten memory so he remembers them, but then he forgets them again- it’s frustrating being him). So they’re both under the gods of memory. Or. Something. SHRUGS??? USELESSLY????
Anyway, Ace has stolen fire! Which 2nd tier god Blackbeard, the god of Darkness, convinced the 1st tier gods that they should have. ‘Cause humans were dicks? And needed to live in fear and darkness so that they continued to worship gods? something like that. In actuality, fire was forming its own spirit/god/representation and he Really Did Not appreciate the competition. ‘Cause if fire formed into a God then Blackbeard had to share some of the 3rd tiers working under him, and a bunch of new gods would be created, and everything would go all topsy turvy for a while and Teach really liked how the world was coming along at the moment. He understood it and didn’t want thinks to change. 
But so, anyway, you know, forgetting memories and stuff - Sabo can track people, too, because people sometimes forget where they’d just been, or bits and pieces of it? and minor deities can look at Small Things and interfere w/ human lives, unlike 1st and 2nd tier gods, and he and Marco don’t get a lot of work so they’re waved off to go find Fire, along with a couple of other minor gods, (but they’re the ones who Actually find him, but, first,)  
They set about tracking Ace, who’s uh…..adapting to holding a Literal Godly Weapon pretty well, actually. And also getting a significant power boost just from luggin’ it around, he’s been setting stuff on fire and lifting shit up that most normal people Cannot Lift and giving everyone he meets fire and stuff and that all kiiiinda means he goes pretty slow haha, so marco & sabo catch up with him pretty easily (mistakes were made)
And so ‘cause they’re not s u p e r powerful, especially not in comparison to buffed-as-fuck by fire Ace, they follow him for a while and try and figure out a plan, and start?? Noticing some Weird As Fuck stuff. Like the joy humans feel when given fire, and that their prayers and worship seem to increase rather than decrease, and that it’s actually pretty weird that Ace managed to get away with stealing fire and now has all sorts of weird abilities that one only usually associates with a god and oh dear sweet lord he’s second tier isn’t he
This is Understandable due to the fact that like. There are so many gods. How are they supposed to know ALL of them?? Also 2nd tier gods are usually Dicks, or just plain busy, and so it’s a huge messy bureaucracy of running around and trying to find out if there even is a god of water and if so why isn’t the god of rainstorms under them instead of under Earth and who the fuck was meant to be taking control of the city this year because it just got invaded again and the Fates are laughing themselves sick in the corner gods damn it all
So Marco & Sabo are lowkey panicking towards each other and Ace is dealing with weird as fuck memories from the fire - ‘cause, see, BAM BAM BAAAAAAAAAM
The fire made him!!!!!
Well, okay, slightly more complicated than that. Remember how I mentioned that Roger fucked off? well he gave up his immortality to spend the rest of his life with a human lady called Rouge. They end up as stars when they die, together forever, but, also, there’s still the hint of a god in Roger and the slowly building concept of fire, trapped and unable to do anything, basically sent down a blessing to Rouge and Roger’s kid, and the kid was Ace! Who’s kinda, Disney hercules movie style has lots of weird shit happen to him. He’s got crazy endurance and strength and speed and Rouge is looking at Roger disapprovingly as Ace grows up and Roger’s like I didn’t!!! do it!!!
Anyway so Ace has dreams of fire and weird visions all his life and finally confides in his parents and Roger reveals a bit of godly knowledge in the form of a myth and says that fire was stolen and kept by the gods and Ace is like oh I must be getting a vision from one of them to steal it! And none of them question that this might actually be a really bad idea so they just let Ace go and the fire’s like fuck yeah, rejoining! And starts reclaiming its power/joining with Ace to make ace god of Fire, but he’s still mainly human now. And doesn’t know he’s meant to be a god haha, he’s just like oh this is cool, superpowers! Must be because of this thing I stole that really makes sense?
Anyway he’d end up being a second tier, which is why he has all these random as fuck powers, but meanwhile sabo and Marco are d YI N G BECAUSE WHAT!!!!!!!! DO THEY DO!!!!!!! And Marco and Sabo are like literally what the fuck do we do ‘cause!? They’re not powerful enough!!! to fight a 2nd tier!!! 
And then Ace gets hurt.
And gods can’t get hurt.
so Mar/Sab bust out and are like haHA you’re not a god!! You were lying!!!
when the fuck did I ever say I was a god? Ace asks, and then is like, ah dear sweet lord they’re gods I shOUL D HAVE EXPECT ED THAT ONE. And they have a little fight but Ace is still kinda injured and so they basically? Sit on him? And are like “return fire to the gods”
“Fire belongs to humanity!” / “Also like, I got??? visions of stealing it????? So some god obviously wants me to have it.”
“There’s a lot of fuckin gods man, just ‘cause one sent you visions doesn’t mean you go out and steal something from the goddamn gods. That’s why we have official translators!!!”
“Which god was it???” Sabo asks curiously, and Ace is like, ///gestures uselessly
“Idk???? fire god??? I was just holding fire. Which like. Hasn’t been a thing since Mom’s era.”
“There is no fire god.”
“What, legit????”
“Yeah, ‘legit’. Who sent you the visions?????”
“Idk, I told you!!! I just saw myself holding fire!!! And using it, and sharing it, and-”
“What, like, using it using it?”
“How else would I use it?”
Confused As Fuck Boys TM, just looking at each other, and Ace is like hey btw can you get off me now?? / “No, you’re our prisoner”
“WHY”
“'Cause you stole?? From the gods??? We were sent to retrieve you???”
Ace makes grumpy mumbling sounds but is like “yeah fine I’ll come w/ you bc I want an explanation, but I still want to share fire with people so we’re taking the long way.” / “Ugh fine.”
And like, marco and sabo are immortal, so it doesn’t really matter to them if they take the long way, and they found him and fire and well if he dies then that’ll be an even easier way to get fire back home?? And there’s other entrances to the gods’ domain in different places, so they just decide to head for one of those, and pick their way across the world.
And they’re first pretty snarky with each other, (especially after Ace finds out that they’re minor deities, he laughs at them once he discovers what for,) and they battle a couple of monsters together, and Ace spends late nights alone, fascinated by the twirl of fire around his fingertips, and the jar where he was keeping Fire gets smaller and smaller bc it’s bonding to him, but none of them realise until later, once they’ve started to become better friends and trust each other and have a routine;
And then marco notices and accuses ace of tricking them and Everyone is pissy and Mar/Sab are like, no we’re heading home now, before you use any more of Fire, how are we supposed to ??? Explain this???
(An alternate take to this scene was them realising that Ace was becoming a god/that fire was always meant to belong to humanity and being like “oh okay, better protect you, but how do we avoid-” *disappointed 2nd tier god shows up* “guys seriously you had like one job”.)
Anyway Ace is kind of their prisoner now and keeps trying to tell them that he didn’t steal the fire (well, apart from his initial stealing), that he was planning to fulfil their deal and he wouldn’t have broken it and Sabo’s like why should we believe a thief?? and Ace is like you believed me before!
Or, like!!!!!!!!!!! Oh maaaaaaaan Marco/Sabo manipulating Ace to go to the nearest domain entry, 'cause they’re not powerful gods and can pretend to be human and travelling together and Ace trusting them and confiding in them and Marco and Sabo confiding bits and pieces of their lives in him too and slowly starting to reveal that they are gods and being happy and slowly realising Ace is turning into a god but then 
WHOOPS TOO LATE THEY’RE AT OLYMPUS AND EVERYONE’S LIKE WOAH CONGRATS YOU MANAGED TO CATCH THE HUMAN and Ace is like wait what 
Marco and Sabo are like no, no, no, wait, there’s actually been a mistake-??? But Ace is super fucking pissy and No-One is Listening, (and actually I like this one better so this is basically what happens). 
SO ACE IS A PRISONER AND MARCO/SABO COME VISIT HIM AND HE REFUSES TO TALK TO THEM AND THEY’RE LIKE NO, LEGIT, PLEASE LISTEN TO US??? And Ace just scoffs and is like why. You lied to me, and you tricked me, and I thought you believed me about the visions and you didn’t tell me there was no fire god???
We think you’re the fire god
And Ace just laugh/scoffs at them because seriously, out of EVERYTHING THEY’VE SAID??? This is the most ridiculous. And they ask him to fight back, or escape, and he’s like, “The punishment for disobeying the Gods is death - both here and on Earth. And besides, what am I supposed to do, try and live my life hiding from beings that are literally omnipotent???? idk about you but I don’t think that’s gonna work.”
And so Marco & Sabo go and try to talk to the 1st teir gods, but have to go through 2nd tiers, and they meet Blackbeard, who worked his way into being part of the council representing Sea atm, and they’re like look we think he’s actually a new god??? And Blackbeard is like oh no, rlly?? my goodness gracious. But gods aren’t formed from humans, tho, and sidetracks them and confuses them and delays them and then they hear the announcement for Ace’s trial/execution and Blackbeard says they’re not allowed in bc they’re only minor gods, and Marco & Sabo are like yeah but we were the ones who bought him in??? Shouldn’t we be called to testify??
“We already know how this trial will go.”
“Well that defeats the purpose of a trial!” Sabo snaps, but Marco tugs him away and they sneak in instead and Ace is kneeling down and glaring at the gods and the almost-empty jar that used to hold Fire is on a pedestal to his left, but Marco and Sabo are Really Fucking Afraid 'cause they know Ace is afraid?? And they’re like jfc how well do we…..know him?
And Ace catches them looking and the fire starts to slowly wink out, just, dying, as he lowers his head and accepts his fate and refuses to look at them, and they’re like no no no no no it can’t happen like this, he is the fire god-
And Sabo leans forwards and just, please, he thinks, he prays, and Ace jolts and looks up at him and his eyes are so wide and startled and Sabo jumps too but then-
Ace can hear his prayers.
“Please!” he thinks, desperate and angry and hopeless, and Marco frowns and steps up beside him and puts his hand on Sabo’s shoulder and he just mumbles, “He can hear my prayers,” and Marco goes stiff next to him, hand tight around his shoulder, and then both of them can hear-
“Please. Save me.”
WELP HERE COMES THE NOT-YET-BOYFRIENDS SQUAD ///sniggers. They totally just jump in front of Ace and Marco stalks forwards and is like, “You can’t have him!”
“Uh….why…not?”
“He swore his fealty to us. Therefore, as 2nd tier gods, it’s our job to decide his punishment - if he even deserves a punishment.”
“You’re only 3rd tier gods!!!” blackbeard yells, and Sabo grins and the last of the fire winks out and Ace’s skin glows warm and bright.
“No. 'Cause Ace is a god.”
“You’re minor gods,” someone points out, “your domains are useless!”
“Forgotten memories and Faith?” Marco says, “Ace had faith in us, and the Fire forced him to forget who he was supposed to be; We were powerful enough to hide a new god.”
“when the heck did he swear fealty??????” someone else yells, and Marco folds his arms while Sabo makes the chains around Ace’s arms a forgotten memory, helping Ace stand up, “He asked us to save him. That’s fealty enough.”
“And what did he give you in return?” someone sneers, and the crowd is pressing in on them, but Ace steps forwards and there’s fire on his shoulders and in his eyes.
“My life.”
anyway they go and upend the structure of the gods omfg and ace experiments with his powers and visits his parents and tells them what went down and rouge is like ROGER, SERIOUSLY. and thwacks him on the arm bc ofc her son’s now a god jfc, and there’s!!!
Marco and Sabo are adjusting to their new roles and trying to figure out what the fuck they’re meant to be doing and they’re still kinda 3rd tier and still kinda 2nd and basically mar/ace/bo form their own little….god squad? (SNIGGERS) And their affiliations change slightly and shift to match each other and there’s quiet moments where they figure out what to do and one day sabo’s like you don’t- you know, you’re immortal. Swearing your life to us- You can have it back, if you wanted-
“I don't,” ace says, and they get it , they get the infliction of the word and what he means and so that’s the end of that.
