Headcanons for Giyuu adopting a teenager and there baby sibling and is just like these are my children and introduce them to the pillars?

▸ ANSWERING. hello! i’m slowly catching up to the reqs since i’m starting feeling better (it’s been a whole week at this point, but whatever). hope you’ll enjoy it & thank u for sending a request <3

▸ FANDOM. kimetsu no yaiba

▸ CHARACTERS. giyu tomioka x teenager gn!reader + all the hashiras

▸ RATING. sfw

▸ WARNINGS. reader is 16 y/o while their sister and brother are around 5 and 7 y/o, soft giyu <3, not proofread you know the drill (:

giyu saved you and your two siblings from a demon who attacked your family

he found you holding your little sister and brother, trying to cover them from seeing your parents being eaten by the demon. the three of you were all crying and terribly shaking so at first giyu wasn’t really sure what to do

he asked you if there was someone who could take care of you, but you simply shook your head

in that moment he decided to take you with him, asked for permission to keep you all at his house

your little sister was the first to “move on” from what happened, but you couldn’t blame her since she was very young and you tried your best to hide the scenes from her

your brother on the other hand started being angry, acting completely different from what he used to be: kind, gentle and full of joy. but once again, you couldn’t blame him either

they noticed you were less present, always thinking about what happened and sometimes dwelling on your parents’ memories. giyu noticed you always cried during the first nights you spent at his house

he tried his best to take care of you. playing with your sister, helping your brother to deal with his emotions (he let him exercise to get rid of negative emotions) and gifting you stuff to get you distracted from your thoughts

you love when he comes back with delicious food or a book for you

anyway, giyu let you meet the other pillars after a week or so, because he wanted to be sure you all were feeling a bit better

let’s start, shall we?

shinobu was shocked

obanai spat a simple “impossible.”

sanemi stared at giyu, then glanced at you and your siblings, trying to process that he was taking care of random children

muichiro casually glanced at you and then looked back to the sky, muttering something about forgetting soon

gyomei felt sorry about your situation and started crying of course

kyojuro encouraged & praised giyu for his decision and complimented him

tengen was surprised but recognised it was a very flashy action, he was doing the right thing by taking care of you instead of abandoning you to your destiny

mitsuri was so excited she could feel her heart exploding (her eyes were literally shining). she offered her help since she has siblings and giyu appreciated it

of course, mitsuri ended up spending loads of time with you: playing, eating together, taking care of cute animals, etc

shinobu played an important role too because your sister easily got sick so going to the butterfly mansion became a sort of routine

your brother also enjoyed spending time with the flame hashira because he was funny and kind, while your sister used to share her food with the wind hashira

something you enjoyed was tengen giving you piggybacks, usually when you’re pretty tired after being out the whole day

giyu does the same sometimes but due to tengen being taller you find it funnier

he usually looks a bit sad because deep down he fears you guys will start hating spending time with him & seek the other pillars’ company

mitsuri comforts him, saying that everyone can see clearly how you all love him, you in the first place

you’re grateful for him taking all of you, providing for your needs, making sure you’re healthy and safe

“giyu-san, i am truly grateful for everything you do for me and for my siblings. i hope we will find a way to repay for everything in the future.”

here comes a big hug because he doesn’t care about it, he grew very fond of you all and would do anything to protect you

episode from the same “series” here !!

▸ BEFORE LEAVING. reblog and comments are super appreciated. i personally think that getting piggyback rides from tengen is amazing ): have a good day / night !!!

Cool so I reread the series and I noticed a lot more than I did the first two times I read it which is fun. The relationship between Ben and Erica is more explored than I remembered which is good and I can definitely see her character arc a lot clearer.

X is still my least favorite book and there’s absolutely a corner that Gibbs wrote himself into on that one unless he’s entirely giving up on the idea of having Ben and co. be secret agents.

Ben’s a lot more of a competent spy than I remember too, which is refreshing.

I also completely forgot that all 10 of these books happen in the span of like a year and a half which is hilarious.

Oh and the age gap seems like something that would be a lot more of an issue if there weren’t only like 300 people in the world they could have contact with. Even Erica and Josh had a bit of a gap since she had to have been 14/15 or so while he was 17/18. A gap of 2.5 years would be problematic for normal kids but I think different rules would apply.

I'm so glad it was clearer on a second go around! Honestly, I didn't even really see it all that clearly until I reread the series a couple years ago (SSAS came out my first week of college) and had a lot more experience with how stories work on a fundamental idea. Erica's development is very much in the background, but when you're looking for it (excluding SSPX, but that's a different rant) it's so clear and interesting and I love it.

SSPX bothers me for SO MANY REASONS the biggest of which is that Mr. Gibbs puts the message before the overarching plot of everything, and then! It's not even a relevant message! Like, what twelve year old is hardcore believing QAnon (it's pretty obviously meant to be that or something similar). I feel like something could have been achieved and a message about privacy, like Murray makes getting a video of Ben part of some TikTok knockoff challenge, because that seems like a much more likely thing kids would do, but gotta make fun of people who remember what the news said two years ago and comparing it to what they say now! Can't have people with good memories! But yeah, it does shoot the series in the foot kind of, and I understand the reasoning behind why things were done the way they were! I just don't agree with it most of the time.

It's even funnier when you realize that it's not a year and a half evenly spread out, it's one mission his first year with five months before summer, one that summer, and seven his second year. Eight if you want to count SSGS and SSBI as different missions (I go back and forth as to whether or not I do). It's so funny. Please give poor Ben a break.

And yes! Ben is actually so much more competent than people seem to give him credit for sometimes. It's just that his skill set tends to be less flashy and useful in battle scenes, but he's very much the chess master of the group. He's the one planning and strategizing, and all the karate moves in the world aren't going to do you any good if you can't actually foil the plans.

My reasoning for why I'm okay with the age gap is because the narrative treats them as equals who are more or less in the same place in life. Like, yes she's two classes ahead of him, but for all intents and purposes, they're teamed up together constantly with others in Ben's class and I think Erica is the only one we really know about in her class (can't remember Chip's age, but he might be? idk, doesn't really matter). It's never dwelt on, and it bothers me when people try to make a deal about it! Like, they're not going to be in the same place in their lives forever. It's high school. Almost no one marries the person they dated in high school. I've long held that they'd break up sometimes after Erica graduates and starts her adult life while Ben is still in school (or something similar depending on how Mr. Gibbs decides to do things moving forward).

#anyway my own personal conspiracy theory #is that between SSAS and SSPX the CIA contacted mr. gibbs #and told him to stop writing stories where the government was covering things up #and also to make conspiracy theorists seem crazy #because whether or not you believe in actual conspiracy theories #you *cannot* deny that in the context of the Spy School universe #they are correct that the government is lying to them #because that's the only reason i could come up with why someone who's invested so much time writing a series #would mess it up so royally #and there's an out of universe reason why the school got blown up #(it's because it's hard to market a middle grade series where the characters are in high school)#(and don't say Harry Potter middle grade didn't exist as a marketing demographic back then so JK had more freedom in a lot of regards)#so i don't see why there couldn't be an out of universe explanation for the other stuff #especially because several authors *have* gotten contacted by the government when they guessed something a little too close to the truth #but anyway #enough of my crazy #it's how i cope with the book being *so bad*#and that's the stuff i can explain away #unlike Erica's characterization in that book #spy school #ginger answers #erica hale #ben ripley #anyway if you want to send me more asks i would absolutely love that #i've been missing talking about it and the tag has been *so dead* and hardly anyone comments on my ao3 stuff

do you have any hcs on what type of drunk the islanders are?

cannot, for the life of me, find my old answer on this.

but it’s a good thing, ‘cause it was probably too short, and i do have some thoughts and scenarios on this one! this is gonna become a whole book :/ i might also include their favorites, or what i think it’s their favorites.

bobby.

he doesn’t know how to stay still when the alcohol goes in! bobby is the type to be dancing, singing along, singing with no music, pumping other people to join him whenever he’s feeling joyful! even when he’s in a certain mood that isn’t celebratory, he’d still be finding a way to not bum everybody out with his problems. he’s just the kind of guy to try and forget his problems while having a glass in hand! “mate!” he points to gary, noah, rahim, henrik. “i - love - you! no, seriously!” he takes a seat on their lap, hugging them as he continues. “i - love you, mate! you’re the best a man can ask! i - love - you!” colorful cocktails like “sex on the beach” and daiquiris. bobbyfish is only fun to him if he’s the one making it.

carl.

forever the quiet drunk, in a corner, reminiscing on every bad decision he’s ever made. nothing makes carl pensive and regretful like alcohol. he always refuses to drink in public because “i’m the worst drunk you can have at your party.” he doesn’t interact or talk before the sixth drink, and when he does, prepare yourself for a battle of two carl’s. “bummer” x “i want to rage, but the pain of being alive is too much for me right now”. definitely wants to be designated driver at all times. prefers to drink alone, at home, when everything is going wrong. bitter drinks like the “negroni” or “manhattan”.

chelsea.

the - life - of - the - party! always! chelsea never lets her outside problems get in the way of a good time and it shows! she’s here to party, to dance, to let everyone know how fun and good friends they are. you’ll never see this girl on the corner. it’s middle of the dancefloor or no dice in her case. she also gets extra flirty with everyone else, without any intentions of hooking up with anyone. “you are looking like the whole damn roast dinner in that dress, babes!” GIN!! and everything you can make with it.

gary.

pirate drunk. do you hear me? pirate drunk. draping his arm on his mates’, or girl’s, shoulder and singing along to whatever in on the background. slow speech and often stuttering his loving and caring words. “buz ya know whet may? i... focken luv ya! i zoo! because... en her mee ou-t. you, may, a - thu - bessss!” it’s love and confusing speeches all around, followed by raising his pint to pay for another round, again. gary drunk is also the type to tell you secrets you definitely didn’t need to know. picture the things he could tell you about from when he was a teenager, before he started working out, and no, i don’t mean painful and deep stuff. i mean the weird phases of discovery. he’s absolutely graphic when talking about those and i’m not here for it, garebear. beer! beer! cheeky v is for the start, then he stays on the beer for good.

henrik.

the happiest pup you’ll ever see at a bar. henrik is extra affectionate after a few shots, and incredibly in touch with his emotions, them being positive or not. one thing i often picture him doing is just going for the kill if he needed some courage for it. whether is a girl or a boy, he’s gonna walk towards them, offer them a drink and let them know how he feels. it’s all about the positive and the horniness. if there’s a possibility of a “bathroom in the club” even better! he doesn’t waste time on talking and if he’s really into you, he’ll let you know. other than that, he’s on the booth, watching the others dance, putting his hair on a bun, because when he decides it’s time for some moves on the dancefloor, no one can hold him back. he’ll grind, twerk, take off his shirt, pull people to dance with, you name it! sweet cocktails like the ones involving wine. anything that has red wine in it, it’s probably his favorite.

hope.

gracefully having her drink in peace, trying her best to keep her composure at all times. i do reckon she’s the kind of person that when drinks has the confusing thoughts and doesn’t get her whole sentences out, but in her head she’s not aware that’s happening. not that she drinks a lot, i don’t think she does that on a night out, or party in a friend’s house, but i can definitely see her being confused when someone laughs of the way she’s speaking, because they can’t understand it. “hope, you’re drunk...” “naah, i’m foine, i only had like...” keeps trying to do the math but can’t, resulting in teasing about how much she had that night. flavored vodka cocktails with a spite of vanilla beans in them.

ibrahim.

i like how shy and closed off he is but just how much he enjoys himself while drunk. he doesn’t necessarily change as much while in that state. he knows he doesn’t need much to have a good time and it shows when he gets to that “carry me home” self. ibrahim’s favorite thing is to dance with his partner and his friends. he lets the spotlight to whoever wants to grab it, but you can be damn sure, out of nowhere, you’ll see him attempting another worm, or his usual twerking. he’s not doing for the show, he’s doing because he can’t stop laughing after and honestly? i love it! he keeps his voice to a lower tone and often gets a little dizzy while getting up. it’s part of the reason noah and bobby tease him, but he doesn’t mind and laughs along. definitely the ones that contain citric fruits, like oranges or limes, lemons and grapefruit. i often picture him drinking a “paloma”. also, drinks that have some pepper might be on his list.

kassam.

this is probably the only time you’ll see kassam smiling for no reason. usually he reserves those for special occasions, such as really goos jokes, some snarky comment about someone who he hates or when you try to make him laugh, failing miserably. but drunk kassam has an easy smile and entertained facade you would think to be fake. do not be mistaken, he’s not. he just can’t control himself while under the influence of alcohol, and i think the part he enjoys the most is to see you having fun while trying to convince him to hit the floor to dance. “you know... that’s not gonna happen. because if it does, i’m gonna humiliate you with my...” he does a snake with his arms “... moves.” he gets funnier and looser, wanting to make you smile at all costs, even if that means he does and says ridiculous things like the worm arms. energy drinks+whiskey combos. he just likes that flavor and it hits the spot pretty fast.

lottie.

there’s only two lottie’s when she gets the alcohol going: depressive/pensive or goddess of dancing. no in between. lottie will forever be a wild card and that’s part of the reason why people invite her in the first place. she’ll be questioning life and her existence when bummed out, or dance and get every chin dropping when she’s being herself. drunk lottie might pull you in a bathroom stall and go to town on you. it’s confidence and “let’s skip this one, i have something to show you.” winks discreetly. plus, she’s always that kind of girl that pulls off the “bobbing/swaying side to side” move, even thought it’s the most boring in the book. she looks good and she knows it. as for talking/confessing, forget it. she’s not one to open up while drunk. lottie is probably the least selective when it comes to choosing alcohol. colorful, sweet, spicy, bitter, you name it.

lucas.

it’s always time for confident lucas to show up, and his drunk persona wouldn’t be different. the thing he loves the most is definitely showing his moves by taking your hand and making the two of you the center of attention. something he can’t hold back is his horniness. that’s something he had in common with lottie and henrik. but instead of a bathroom stall it might be the car you came in, or a nearby hotel. he’s not exactly the type to just at it on any corner, and even drunk, he has some fear of germs. also, he might be extra flashy when dancing, on the brink of looking like that’s his stage and he’s the star. i’m sure people agree, given he’ll probably dance with more than one person at the same time, giving the audience some threesome ideas. that’s the whole point: too look hot while making everyone else wish they were his dancing partners. think of grinding on the floor, grabbing thighs and dipping a girl. or a boy, if you ask me. combos of whiskey and energy drinks.

marisol.

drunk marisol, to me, it’s the funniest. she’ll become extra analytical of the social interactions happening at the bar/club/party. every conversation will get fully analyzed before she can take the next sip. of course there’s lots more to her drunk persona, but that’s how it starts. i believe it takes her four drinks to start dancing, five to make her take her glasses off and throw them somewhere, and six to make her dance on a table. i don’t believe she has much time to drink and have fun, so that makes her much less resistant to alcohol. three drinks are enough to make her stop being marisol and become “marisol, the life of the party”. it can get ugly once she gets more drinks in her, and you can expect dinosaur noises from the other side of the bathroom stall. that’s why she avoids that feared seventh drink and gets lots of water between shots. “espanhola” and colorful cocktails.

noah.

he’s probaly the least active on a night out, but the most surprising if he feels like it. usually he stays put, having his drink in place, watching everyone dancing and goofing around with each other. not participating it’s his default, he would rather watch everyone else’s personas coming out. “come on, book boy! you’re not gonna stay in your seat all night!” “nah, i’m good. for now.” he’ll hold his twerking self in until he has the urge of taking the dancefloor. very talkative while drunk, often discussing things he’d recently discovered and can’t wait another second to share them. of course he might get them wrong, given he can take lots of alcohol but no notice when his speech becomes gibberish. definitely enjoys lemon-y drinks with vodka and other “clear” alcohol types.

priya.

oh my god, don’t shoot the messenger, but priya is the type to do some crazy stuff while drunk and blame the booze on the next day. being fully conscious and aware of her actions but saying “oh my god, i can’t believe i did that, i’m so sorry.” for whatever it is. usually she’s fun and loose when there’s alcohol involved, and by loose i mean wanting to dance her ass off. this might be the time she challenges people to lip sync battles or dances, which to most is funny, but she gets very competitive about them, to the point of betting on things like the bar tab. definitely enjoys the white wine and its variations, and often experiments with flavored vodka, like peach and vanilla.

Leader: Belkia

His speech is the text equivalent of looking at something with several different neon colors, it invokes the same feeling of being slapped in the face (in a good way). Stars indicate translator’s notes where there’s an alternative way this might be meant or where I want to explain some more.

Belkia x4

Belkia:”What?! What, you bastards~~~ You bastards are too flashy!!! I’ll ki-- Now that I think about it, you’re all me!!! I already thought you’re all very handsome!!!

With Mahiru

Belkia:”Ahahahaha! Hello~~~ Simple-simple-boy★☆★ Watch the flashy magic of a flashy guy like me☆★☆

Mahiru:”Who are you calling a simple-simple-boy!!! I’m not that plain!!!”

With Kuro

Belkia:”Oh, did you come out, black cat bastard~~~!! I guess I should... take revenge for back then......”

Kuro:”Meow, Meoooow~~~... I got teamed up with a troublesome guy...” *

With Lily

Belkia:”Geh, the perverted butterfly!!! You really got me good that time~~~! You got my beautiful hair~~~!!!”

Lily:”Ah, hello. You’re right, it had grown so nice and long, it was probably a shame to have it cut so short~”

Belkia:”Well, since I’m a cool man who also takes good care of his hair...... Wait, you’re the bastard who cut it!!! I won’t forgive that!!!!!”

With Tsubaki

Belkia:”Tsuuubakyun! We’ve got free time, so let’s play skewering! First I’ll skewer you, okay?”

Tsubaki:”That’s the first time I hear about getting skewered though?!” *

With Sakuya

Belkia:”Oi Sakuyaa! Don’t just use my high-class shampoo!!! I’m running out abnormally fast, you know?!”

Sakuya:”Huh? I don’t use shampoo with such a strong smell. Wouldn’t Higan do that?”

With Otogiri

Belkia:”Girioto!!! Stop spilling buckwheat flour all over the kitchen!!! I thought it was some kind of dangerous powder!!!”

Otogriri:”Well, buckwheat flour may be dangerous powder in a sense... It’s too delicious, so I end up eating too much... It’s troublesome...”

With Higan

Belkia:”*sniff sniff sniff*”

Higan:”Huh, what is it, Bel? Do I smell like old man again?”

Belkia:”Weird!!! Higan, you’re stinking less like old man now!!! You’re the bastard who used my high-class shampoo, aren’t you~~~~~?!!!”

Higan:”Oh, that was yours? Oh my, sorry~”

With Shamrock

Belkia:”Sham~~~ I can’t find my special hat! Where is it?! I’m going out, so I want to wear it!”

Shamrock:”If you mean that one, the young master is currently using it as a bed, so you can’t go out with it. Try something else.”

Belkia:”Tsubakyun! Don’t nap in my hat! It’s gonna smell like fox!!!”

With Ryusei

Belkia:”Oh, you’re the brat who ignored me before! I won’t let you do that again, you know?!”

Full Melancholy Team

Belkia:”Oh, four of us are together! Let’s start with Melancholy Group Strip Mahjong~~~☆★☆!”

Swimwear Theme Team

Belkia:”It’s summer! We’re wearing swimsuits! The vampire-filled swimming tournament begins~~~☆★☆ Let’s start a terrifying match of beach volleyball stained with blood and desire~~~!!!” *

-----------------------------------------

T/N: With Kuro, I’m not entirely sure what Belkia is saying, because SOMEONE likes to use a lot of Katakana. He says “Urami harasedeokubekika”; “Urami” is “grudge”, “resentment”, “harasu” is stuff like “accomplish a goal” but according to one of my dictionaries also means “satisfy one’s revenge”, and “okubeki” is usually used for “Should (try to) do something”. The “ka” is a question particle, and when it’s not an actual question (”Should I...?”), it often gets translated as “Maybe I should” or “I guess I should”. Belkia will be the death of me I swear.

With Tsubakyun, the phrasing is weird because literally translated, Belkia’s words are “You’ll play the role of the skewer”, which would mean he’d use Tsubaki to stab other things, which just?? makes no sense?? Like I’m aware this is Belkia but he usually makes more sense than that lmao, so with Tsubaki’s “WHAT?!” reaction, I opted to see it as Belkia asking to uh, skewer Tsubaki, though it could as well be that they would skewer other stuff together. But Belkia suggested that he could skewer Tsubaki was funnier, and please tell me I’m not the only one who reads that as mildly suggestive.

I don’t know what the hell the man is talking about in the Swimwear team either. Like he definitely wants to start something. And he says “beach volleyball”, so he probably wants to start a beach volleyball match. But he says “kyoufu no beach volley”, and kyoufu means fear, terror, so, a horrifying match...? And it’s smeared/stained/covered in “chi” and “yokubo”, which means “blood” and “desire”, respectively. So um. Belkia honey, are you okay??? I’d offer a hug but I think doing so would cause me to make close acquaintance with a sword so uh. I’ll just. Stay far far away.

I love him ashdaskldhasjkd I was very excited and mildly scared when I drew the fourth Belkia so I could finally do his banter lmao

He calls Mahiru “Jimijimiboy”, and while he uses Katakana so I can’t be 100% certain, “jimi” can mean - among other things - “plain” and “simple”, which is kinda Mahiru’s thing, so I figured it fits xD

Did Bel think Otogiri was doing drugs in the kitchen, or what kind of dangerous powder is he talking about? Gunpowder’s usually black, so...?

Thanks to a bug, putting Belkia with Gil gets you the second half of Bel’s banter with Higan xD

ALSO, BELKIA HAS ZERO RIGHTS TO CALL LILY A PERVERTED BUTTERFLY! lmao melancholy strip mahjong.......

#Servamp #Belkia Servamp #Tanaka Box #Translation #im dead now bel murdered me and he didn't even need swords he just needed his words

<< Another Danger Mouse related hot take: the one and only episode we got about the Negaverse in Darkwing Duck, and the Negaduck character as a whole, did far more, far better, and even far funnier with the concept of mirror AUs than any time the Twystyverse or Sinister Mouse shows up in DM15. >>

《 Wait—the negaverse was only in one episode? I mean, I guess I don't hear about the other Nega!characters as much as NegaDuck, but still...

I'm still annoyed the one time Twystyverse!Professor was shown was like, less than five minutes and as an old woman. It might have led me to making one of my favorite characters by far, but just knowing that potential will (probably) never be expanded on in the actual show bothers me. It'd be jarring if the show went in a completely different direction, but at least it would be something.

Also...why is Twystyverse Penfold just "Penfold but as Baron Greenback"? He doesn't even get his own outfit? It's not like Twystyverse!Greenback is "Greenback as Penfold" either (at least, from what I've seen) so it's not even a consistent thing. Am I supposed to assume that Baron Greenback inspired Baron Penfold's outfit or vice versa? Or did the writers not have anything interesting to do with Twystyverse!Penfold? Why introduce a concept if you're not going to do anything with it? It'd be one thing if they wanted to do a meta thing poking fun at "Evil AUs". TAWOG had an entire episode making references to the fandom...but it's not like they established a full on parallel universe where the fan character things live and whatnot. Sinister Mouse doesn't appear to be part of the original series, so the Twystyverse was an invention of the reboot. Honestly, I wonder how much of the untapped potential came from things they added to the reboot to make it look flashy/cool and proceeded to drop without expanding on it. 》

#ooc tag #《 the idea of a universe where things are 'opposite' is really interesting 》#《 and i like how dw seemed to handle it better than dm tbh 》#《 i haven't seen the show but I've heard NegaDuck tells Darkwing that he's one bad day away from being him 》#《 which is far more intriguing than ''oh I'm you but completely evil'' 》#《 it seems overly simplistic for me 》#《 not like i expect DM15 to explore the nuances of their characters or whatever 》#《 but i honestly would have dropped Maddie as a muse a long time ago if I kept my original ''evil mad scientist'' characterization 》#《 though sometimes I worry that I make Fessie look too mean in comparison 》#《 it doesn't help that I went so far down the rabbit hole with developing Maddie that it makes it weird to write Fessie 》

Hello!! May I request headcanons for Victor and Lucien from MLQC? If it’s okay, maybe some soft relationshippy HCs? Thank you so much, I hope you’re having a wonderful day 💫

Thank you, my day is wonderful and I hope yours is, too! It’s been such a long time since I’ve played this game, so I may be a bit rusty! I definitely downloaded it and will replay it again to get a refresher :) Let’s say good-bye to all of my savings again!

Victor

He truly loves you and thinks about you often. He began to become aware of his love for you when he keeps questioning if he’s good enough for you. Victor is aware of his success and the attention it gets. As CEO, he became acclimated to assessing others to his standards, not the other way around. Victor is typically critical and aims to achieve, yet now he feels the need to become better for you.

Victor will always push you to your limits because he believes in you. He doesn’t waste time if he doesn’t see potential. Victor investing time to make sure you meet deadlines, looking over your papers, and making you wake up early are the greatest compliments he can give you. Even though you may hate it at times, he is communicating that he believes in you and will support you to the best of his power. When you forget how strong you are, he will remind you and try to help you see yourself how he sees you.

Gives very good advice to you when you need it. Victor knows when to back off and let you make decisions for yourself, but he will be there to catch you when you fall.

Sometimes stops time just to look at you and take a moment to feel the rush of ardor he has for you.

He won’t hesitate to speak about you when the time is right, and will boast your accomplishments to put a good word in for you. He wants to see you succeed and knows you will work hard enough to handle anything that comes your way. Other than talking highly of you, he prefers to keep you a mystery to others due to his protective nature. He is not one to gossip about his loved ones anyway, so to him the less people know about you when it’s not necessary, the better.

He is a lot more affectionate than he lets on. In the early hours of the morning you will wake up in his embrace that takes half an hour to snake out of. Out of nowhere, he will ruffle your hair when he’s proud of you. He won’t hesitate to rub flour from your face with his thumb. His hands will envelope yours as he teaches you how to cut vegetables with a chiffonade technique. Touch is one of the ways he says he is there for you, that he’s proud of you, and that he loves you.

It’s common for you both to indulge in late-night conversations about anything. Victor is at his most calm and vulnerable at home from a long day of work and can drop the steely facade at the sound of your voice. A glass of wine is usually in his hand, so cherish that rough voice and those soft laughs while he’s tipsy. This pasttime is something you both did before you were together, and continued to do because it grants the easiness of talking about vulnerable topics without having to face each other. Hearing your voice after a long day helps him more than you know.

Of course he has taken you on many trips to private wineries, deluxe suites, and places on your bucket list. However, nothing beats a getaway to Souvenir. Victor feels like he can be himself. He is anonymous while in the kitchen, able to focus on his passion for cooking with your presence there with him. Most times he will teach you a new recipe or put you to work in the kitchen (of course). Don’t be fooled, he enjoys your company and allowing you back there with him shows that he is comfortable with you knowing his more private and true persona.

“Pass me the paring knife - blade down so you won’t kill me.”

“Here, taste this for me.”

“If you answer my question, I just might relieve your cleaning duties.”

“Here, let me do it before it gets worse.”

Lets you take the reins sometimes when it comes to making decisions, big or small. There are times when he asks for your advice on things such as menu changes for Souvenir or details on a choice he has to make as an executive. He values your opinions and is with you because he also thinks you are sensible and intelligent (sometimes).

You both regularly debate about everything, and he likes that you can keep him on his toes. What sauce should go on a medium-rare steak, economic prosperity in different countries, is Victor an evil capitalist CEO or evil chef connoisseur, you name it.

A lot funnier than he seems. His dry humor and witty remarks catch you off guard at times. Victor is very observant of you and makes fun of your behaviors, especially if he notices you checking him out or blushing profusely over something he said.

As much as he hates to admit it, he does spoil you. If he sees you eyeing a certain dress, the next day it’s sent to your home. If he hears your stomach growling, he’s in the kitchen already while chiding you for not eating yet. Victor always takes care of you and makes sure your needs are met, even if he’s nonchalant about it.

“How could you have forgotten to eat today? Stay put, I’m on my way.”

“Don’t thank me; it’s nothing.”

“Make sure you take care of yourself, alright?”

“I can’t leave you by yourself, can I?”

He does this thing where he speaks with his regular sharp tone then turns to you and sounds like honey. Goldman has observed it many times and is never ceased to be amazed by it.

Lucien

The two of you make a habit of stopping at each other’s workplaces with lunch or snacks. Between Lucien’s class periods, you will bring him his favorite order of coffee and something to quick to eat. If he can’t make it to drop off food to you, he will definitely call your favorite restaurant to deliver your favorite order. Even if you get the amount of sugar in his coffee wrong, he is especially detailed when it comes to knowing your orders. What condiments you use, pickles or no pickles, your allergies, he makes note of it all and gets it right every time.

You both find tranquility in reading next to each other after a long day of work. Stints to corner bookstores with worn books and cats sleeping on the shelves is a favorite pasttime. Sometimes, he’d ask for you to read to him while he’s cooking or taking a moment after work. He enjoys hearing the serious drop in your voice at an action scene, or the laughter you try to subdue when you read something particularly funny. At night before bed, he will take the reins and read anything you like if you have trouble sleeping. He swears his reading voice is terrible, but will stick through just to hear you shower him in compliments about your love for his voice.

In the most mundane moments you will catch him staring at you. Lucien, even if he may not look like it, is always cataloguing, learning, and observing. The sun’s warmth on your hair brings out the lighter hues on each strand. You have a habit of running a nail over your eyelid when you’re nervous. You have a callous on your ring finger because you hold a pencil strangely. He is always taking note of every aspect of your person, from your small ticks to a glimpse of your morals. Lucien also does not shy away from eye contact. If you meet his eyes he will not have the propriety to look away, and he enjoys the nervous shift you make under his gaze.

“What, Lucien? Is there something on my face?” “If I said no, could I look at you longer?”

“I’m just looking at you, Y/N.”

“You look beautiful.”

“A boyfriend can look at his other half, right?”

He has a notebook that he writes detailed observations, research ideas, and quick sketches of architecture, local fauna, and neighborhood cats. Lucien used to indulge in drawing as a kid so he maintained the skill a bit as an adult. After a while, he will let you look through it or show you a few pages. At times, he makes quick sketches of you when he can. Leaning against a tree, sleeping through your alarm in the morning, catching fireflies at night, anything. He seeks to preserve these moments with you, wanting to immortalize the brevity of your laughter or the way you look at him sometimes.

You learned how to read his researcher’s scrawl after a while. His regular handwriting is quite nice-looking and neat, but when it came to his notes and marginalia, you quickly learned that doctors and scientists have the same handwriting when it came to their work.

You both have a signal that means it’s time to leave when you’re caught in a large crowd, a party, or otherwise less-than-ideal situation for Lucien’s sanity. Lucien prefers to plan and avoid situations like these altogether, therefore most of your outings are at botanical gardens, art galleries, libraries, or aquariums. Speaking events are the only place he’d suggest with a high number of people, only because there isn’t any interaction with them.

Lucien shows his affection differently than most boyfriends. He isn’t keen on public affection and likes have a wide berth of space, though he likes having you in it. He is very subtle and can sneak in a moment of affection when he wants to. When walking with each other, he won’t hesitate to offer his arm, and while taking in art pieces at a gallery he may grasp your hips lightly while moving by. His presence is not flashy, but it’s always there and ensures you feel loved and safe.

Lucien does little things like make you tea when you’re on the way home, turn on a lamp when you’re working late, and give you a warm towel when you’re coming out of the shower. He tries to make your life a bit easier by helping you remember your appointments, circumventing any problems you may run into whether it’s a rude coworker or your chronic habit of leaving your phone at home. Anything that he could help you with, he is there for. He even has a knack for helping you with things you didn’t even know you needed help with.

Every point of your relationship, from friendship to romance, he asked questions about you. Lucien never gets tired of getting to know you.

“When did you start liking oolong tea?”

“Can I pick your mind for a moment?”

“How long have you been doing that for?”

“I’d like you to read this and tell me what you think.”

The King of Popping Up on You. Before you two were together, Lucien cherished his privacy and preferred to be alone. One of the ways he figured he was falling for you was when he sought your company in his free time. He rarely initiates contact with anyone, but he would text you first out of the blue or give a call to hear your thoughts on something important to him. At your workplace or school, he will pop in to check in on you. Lucien feels this urge to see you naturally in your own environment, watching you focused on a task or talking with others. It’s a way for him to get to know you and observe how you act. When he has free time, he thinks of where he could take you rather than reading on his own. You became a part of him, for better or worse, so Lucien wants to continue forward with you by his side.

Bumblebee (2018)

Genre: Action/Sci-Fi

Who’s In It: Hailee Steinfeld, John Cena, Jorge Lewdeborg Jr, Pamela Adlon, John Ortiz

Who Directed It: Travis Knight

Plot: On the run in the year 1987, Bumblebee finds refuge in a junkyard in a small California beach town. On the cusp of turning 18 and trying to find her place in the world, Charlie Watson discovers Bumblebee, battle-scarred and broken.

Running Time: 114 Minutes

IMDB Score: 6.8

Metascore: 44

Rotten Tomatoes Score: Critics 91% Audience 74%

Why I Watched It: The trailer looked decent but really I watched it cause my oldest daughter wanted to and she likes both leads.

How I Watched It: Netflix Canada

Random Thoughts: So this was not a Michael Bay directed film and I guess a prequel. I have a theory is that’s why the critics liked this so much cause it was such a switch from the Transformer movies which most critics hated.

What I Like: Oddly I think Hailee Steinfeld is a little bland but likable and I think she’s the big selling point here her and her relationship with Bumblebee. They were cute together and I liked that this film is more grounded and less flashy and they do try to make it more heartfelt and human.

It’s one of those movies that there’s nothing really wrong with it but it didn’t land for me or my daughter but it meant well and the vibe is good but the story didn’t hook me. I did like John Cena and I do wish he was in it more. The action was good enough the CGI was very good and they did nail tone well.

What I Didn’t Like: It was too long and sadly I found it boring, the action was done well enough but it didn’t hook me in with the story and I do think the action was forced at times cause they needed it to sell it as a Transformer movie. The killer for me here is the plot it is a bag of cliches and oddly they don’t take advantage or use the fact that this was set in 1987, it could have been any year, they did that cause it’s a prequel.

The bad guys and main plot was so cookie cutter that it bored me about the half way mark, the second act is where it dragged for me. I also wished it was funnier, cute and well meaning is one thing funny is more engaging for me at least. The film just didn’t have enough pacing to be this long of a film.

Final Thoughts: It was fine I was expecting it to be more fun, it ended up being a bit too slight for me.

Rating: 5/10

[T-A-C] Marte: how delirious do we need to get you in order to write a maid tier list

@t-a-c never ask me for anything ever again (you may feel free to ask me for things in the future.)

I will be rating the maids that I know of on the following criteria, on a baseline scale of 1-10:

Are they actually a maid: A yes or no question. If they are not actually a maid then they are disqualified but will still get ratings anyway because it makes the list funnier.

Modesty: How reasonable their maid uniform is. The "sexier" the costume is, the lower the score.

Professionalism: How they behave while on the job. The more they flirt with/actively torment/etc their employer, the lower the score.

Competence: How good they actually are at performing domestic tasks, such as cooking and cleaning. The worse they are, the lower the score.

Combat proficiency: How effective they are in battle. The more of a liability they would be in a fight, the lower the score.

Devotion: How devoted they are to their employer. The more disinterested they are, the lower the score.

Extra input: A miscellaneous category that does not award points, but is more room for my own observations and extra opinions.

I will be going down the line from series that I know about. I do not actually actively seek out maid content - it mostly finds me. But I'm bored, so whatever. (Don't expect to see Rem on this list because I never watched Re:Zero.)

i am not inserting images as i’ve already spent two and a half hours on this fucking awful post like three people are going to read. find images yourself

PHANTASY STAR ONLINE 2 This game has at least one maid.

LUCOTTE IS A MAID: Yes MODESTY: 5/10 (despite being an android, she still expresses herself with a "sexy" maid-like design) PROFESSIONALISM: 8/10 (she is very serious about what she does but is a little eager to dote on others) COMPETENCE: 5/10 (seems decent enough at chores but will break brooms using them as weapons) COMBAT PROFICIENCY: 10/10 (trainer NPC for the Etoile class; helps all Etoiles grow stronger) DEVOTION: 10/10 (loves her friends and all her peers and will protect them with her life) OTHER NOTES: checked my vibes when we were introduced to her and basically made me admit that i do, in fact, like maids to some extent

THE AVERAGE ARKS MEMBER WEARING A MAID COSTUME IS A MAID: No MODESTY: Anywhere from 3-10 PROFESSIONALISM: Anywhere from 0-10 COMPETENCE: Anywhere from 0-10 COMBAT PROFICIENCY: Anywhere from 1-10 DEVOTION: Anywhere from 0-10 OTHER NOTES: putting on a frilly dress does not automatically make you a maid. spend money on your gear instead of trying to seduce others

KANAGI IZUMI IS A MAID: No (she works part-time in a maid cafe; otherwise is not a domestic worker.) MODESTY: 6/10 (as her work uniform is a "sexy" maid costume it scores lower than usual, but it could be much less modest) PROFESSIONALISM: 5/10 (she treats all customers with respect but does not behave in the cutesy bubbly way you'd expect a maid cafe employee to behave) COMPETENCE: 9/10 (excellent worker; but accidentally messed up a ketchup drawing once) COMBAT PROFICIENCY: 10/10 (is a veteran magical girl) DEVOTION: 0/10 (she does not put any love into anything she does and is only a part-time worker) OTHER NOTES: AABBC is a good disc loadout

CLAUDIA IS A MAID: Yes MODESTY: 10/10 (also wears an actual proper maid dress similar to dorothy) PROFESSIONALISM: 7/10 (is fond of napping on the job. would be 8/10 but she loses one point for flashing her thigh during a combat tournament battle to distract and defeat her opponent.) COMPETENCE: 10/10 (is very good at her job) COMBAT PROFICIENCY: (7/10; is only held back by game mechanics. has a slightly worse kit than dorothy as her big damage skill can miss. 10/10 when paired with dorothy) DEVOTION: 10/10 (she will break a few legs for her employer if needed but is lacking in empathy for non-employers) OTHER NOTES: she scares me

==================

AZUR LANE whY ARE THERE SO MANY MAIDS IN THE ROYAL NAVY

BELFAST IS A MAID: Yes MODESTY: 5/10 (while her skirt is fine, her top is minuscule and requires copious amounts of fashion tape) PROFESSIONALISM: 2/10 (she sees the commander sleeping once and decides to move their head onto her lap so they awaken to a lap pillow, just to see how they react) COMPETENCE: 10/10 (despite everything, she is very good at her job) COMBAT PROFICIENCY: 10/10 (goes to 14/10 if equipped with a HE gun) DEVOTION: 10/10 OTHER NOTES: she is not as lusty as the fandom would like to make her out to be but she would still jump the commander's bones in a heartbeat if given consent to do so

EDINBURGH IS A MAID: Yes MODESTY: 7.5/10 (her maid uniform is more akin to a maid cafe costume than a proper domestic worker uniform, but isn't offensively alluring like SOME OTHER PEOPLE in this section of the list) PROFESSIONALISM: 6/10 (she's doing her best) COMPETENCE: 0/10 (do not trust her with actual tasks) COMBAT PROFICIENCY: 10/10 (goes to 13/10 if equipped with an AP gun) DEVOTION: 10/10 (she's doing her best) OTHER NOTES: she's doing her best

GLASGOW IS A MAID: Yes MODESTY: 8.5/10 (it's not perfectly modest but it's much more modest than SOME OTHER PEOPLE in this section) PROFESSIONALISM: 9/10 (she reads during active secretary work if she thinks nobody is around) COMPETENCE: 9/10 (seems good enough) COMBAT PROFICIENCY: 9/10 (is held back by lower stats due to lower card rarity) DEVOTION: 10/10 (even if she hates the commander, she will continue to do work just fine) OTHER NOTES: i do not know anything about this character and only just read her lines about five minutes ago as of the time of writing this assessment

GLOUCESTER IS A MAID: Yes MODESTY: 7/10 (while the majority of her uniform is fine, she loses three points for the strange underbust window in her blouse that seems to be entirely there to distract perverts) PROFESSIONALISM: 10/10 (she will scold the commander for staring at maids instead of focusing on their work) COMPETENCE: 10/10 (as expected of one of these maids at this point, i imagine) COMBAT PROFICIENCY: 10/10 (i am running out of witty comments. i will stop making them here unless i have something funny to say) DEVOTION: 10/10 (will continue to work even if she dislikes the commander but will refuse to speak to them) OTHER NOTES: did albert design her uniform or something

NEWCASTLE IS A MAID: Yes MODESTY: 6/10 (looks more akin to a maid cafe uniform than a domestic worker uniform) PROFESSIONALISM: 2/10 (very friendly and flirty. easy to get along with) COMPETENCE: 10/10 COMBAT PROFICIENCY: 8/10 (loses a point for rarity, another for having anti-air mode in her kit) DEVOTION: 10/10 OTHER NOTES: friend

SHEFFIELD IS A MAID: Yes MODESTY: 10/10 (finally a normal uniform) PROFESSIONALISM: 9/10 (while normally curt, she loses a point because of a distressingly weird scene in the anime where she nonchalantly flashes her peers during underwear discussion) COMPETENCE: 9/10 (loses one point due to being trigger happy) COMBAT PROFICIENCY: 10/10 DEVOTION: 0/10 (rises to 2/10 when oathed) OTHER NOTES: wow i don't trust her at all actually

SIRIUS IS A MAID: Yes MODESTY: 2/10 (this is just getting ridiculous) PROFESSIONALISM: 0/10 (it appears everything she knows about being a maid she learned from pornography) COMPETENCE: 7/10 (despite everything, she's still relatively good at her work) COMBAT PROFICIENCY: 10/10 DEVOTION: 15/10 (a little too devoted) OTHER NOTES: you have likely seen fanart and pornography of her without even knowing who she is

DIDO IS A MAID: Yes MODESTY: 1.5/10 (imagine albert designed a maid cafe uniform and you have dido) PROFESSIONALISM: 3/10 (she has severe anxiety issues that get in the way of her behavior but is at least not actively trying to jump the commander's bones) COMPETENCE: 9/10 (is good enough at her job that her anxiety makes her think she's being ignored because she isn't being watched all the time) COMBAT PROFICIENCY: 10/10 DEVOTION: 30/10 (this is fed into due to her anxiety and fear of being abandoned) OTHER NOTES: albert really should not be allowed to design outfits

CURACOA IS A MAID: Yes MODESTY: 8/10 (drops to 3/10 after retrofit) OTHER NOTES: it's incredible how little i seem to care about her and curlew

CURLEW IS A MAID: Yes MODESTY: 8/10 (drops to 2/10 after retrofit; lower score than curacoa as she is in a more seductive pose) OTHER NOTES: see curacoa and replace "curlew" with "curacoa"

HMS NEPTUNE (not to be mistaken with HDN NEPTUNE) IS A MAID: No (she is a waitress) MODESTY: 6.5/10 (her uniform is very flashy and alluring) PROFESSIONALISM: 0/10 (she will regularly ask the commander to get on their knees and beg to her for a good reward) COMPETENCE: ??/10 (she does not seem to actually do domestic tasks) COMBAT PROFICIENCY: 12/10 (rises to 17/10 if equipped with an AP gun) DEVOTION: 10/10 (she will devote herself to the commander but may also attempt to monopolize them; use extreme caution) OTHER NOTES: i'm fucking stupid. make of this comment what you will

==================

FIRE EMBLEM fire emblem fates was a mistake

FELICIA IS A MAID: Yes MODESTY: 7/10 (the nohrian maid outfit is nice but still a little fetishy with its short skirt and stockings making it resemble a cafe maid outfit more than a domestic worker uniform) PROFESSIONALISM: 6/10 (she's trying) COMPETENCE: 0/10 (not very effectively) COMBAT PROFICIENCY: 10/10 (while a bumbling fool in domestic chores, she's skilled martially) DEVOTION: 10/10 (she will follow you even if you decide to defect from nohr) OTHER NOTES: heroes introduced me to her and i bought conquest to have her hit things in a good game and also to marry her

“The S Class Heroes”

IM SCREAMING ALREADY I ONLY READ THE EPISODE TITLE ALRIGHT OK SO IT BEGINS TODAY, MY DEATH guys I am so pumped for the S Class focus thats about to begin with this episode like from here on out they become main players in the series and asfdbfhirksvfjkevfsnjkvfnjek how is it legal for ONE SERIES to contain SO MANY FAVES. Anywayyy Before I get started I’m actually wondering- this is the 7th episode of the second season… do we know how many episodes the season is supposed to run for? S1 only had 12 i think. I’m… I’m not even close to ready for it ending. Now that they’ve introduced Orochi, I’m not even sure where a good break in the plot would be?? Random concerns aside, lets get to the episode. As always, I’m watching this as someone who has read the manga and web comic to date

OROCHI IS PINK HE IS HOT PINK THATS ALL I HAVE TO SAY BEFORE THE TITLE SEQUENCE HITS ME LIKE A GUT PUNCH EVERY SINGLE TIME AND I STILL PAUSE IT AT ZOMBIEMAN OK off to a great start woo

Oh thank god we’re starting with the tournament I can stop quite literally holding my breath. Alright its Choze time. I’m actually excited for him to do things, his face has been nothing but terrifying thus far and hes one of those characters that are just fun to hate unapologetically. I love over-the-top Nazi stand-ins for that reason tbh

OH FUCK OH GOD I LOVE HIM also GAROU hiya welcome back I know it’s only been 2 weeks but i missed you so much thank you for gracing my screen for 5 seconds OH HECK the dramatic music and beginning of the internal monologue just being blatantly REJECTED caught me off guard I cackled AH WAIT WAIT

EYESIGHT DOGMAN ASDFGHK MY BABY IS COMING IM DEAD IM FUKKIN DEAD ALREADY I MISSED HIS CUTE VOICE hey no wait that was very quick?? I must withhold my bias, we’re at the point now where I have SCRUTINIZED every single panel of the manga over and over because of all of my faves, so even the smallest differences will be glaring to me. As much as I want all the action to be drawn out as it is in the manga, I know that’s never been how the anime has rolled. I must bite my tongue.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA THE ONLY TIME WE’LL EVER SEE HIM AND YET!!! oof i had to pause for 2 minutes to chill out and actually type. I. I just. juST. BOI ARE YOU OK WHERE ARE YOU ARE YOU WELL AND WHY DO YOU LOOK LIKE G4 tell me your secrets

speaking of whom get off my screen u creep I have a personal bone to pick with u disrespecting the bae as you will

[SCREAMING]

Oh god this whole scene is so EXCITING and TERRIFYING child emperor’s face as Pig God just eats her, speaking of which -QUIT CUTTING BACK TO THAT TERRIFYING IMAGERY ASDFGHJ

YES THEY KEPT IT YES YES YES YESYEYSYEYS YOU DONT UNDERSTAND how much Ive been looking FORWARD to that little scene??? im crying how is it possible to work myself up so much of this please help

ok ok back to the tournament give my heart a break phew Hey Choze if you’re genes are so superior then where are your eyebrows????? You dont pull it off HALF as well as Z does. Jeez everything about this guy is so absurd I can’t help but laugh irl the damn DNA helix rolling across the screen dude just stop you’re embarrassing yourself

Behold. the moment I died

I actually have this thing with eye gore and seeing it in motion fucked me up I had to skip 10 seconds but anyway FUCK he’s so SPARKLY and PRETTY

Noting also the music there totally gave me flashbacks to the Darkmatter Thieves invasion for a split second and that sequence in general was really well done I like how they emphasized the suckers sticking to the concrete and everything- it have the monster a lot of weight imo. Of course the studio would be fools to not give Tatsumaki the the utmost respect like that sooo

SPARKLY and PRETTY and TEMPTING FATE YOU FOOL yo I was so excited to this scene but I feel like they didn’t make his response angry enough it’s funnier when it so uncharacteristically mad I might do a redraw with the face he makes in the manga………….. FUKKIN was smiley face man just yelling noises to cover flashy’s voice???? FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

OH MY FUCK WE’RE GETTING MONSTER CELLS THIS EPISODE. OH MY HECK WE’RE COVERING MUCH MORE GROUND THAN I THOUGHT WE’RE ONLY HALF WAY THROUGH THE EP

SPEAKING OF LOVES LOOKY LOOK God i love those three Okamaitachi is a WIFE and IAI is a BAE HEY WAIT let them speak come back they said words i want voices!!!!!!! this is going so fast??? Oh my god I was absolutely not expecting to get the Suiryu fight this episode holy crap holy crap?? Ok but I’m getting pumped the music is hype “trying to hide his nervousness by looking like a doofus” “this is how I always look” Oh saitama why do they do this to you. Jeez as much as I love everyone else I forget how much I miss him.

Legends of Tomorrow - ‘Nip/Stuck’ Review

"Gary Green is all the man we need."

This episode title got about 1000% funnier after the reveal of Gary's evil nipple last week.

I'm just saying.

Technically, this week's title only represents two out of the three plotlines. What we really get is more like Nip/Stuck/Sunday in the park with Neron, but it's hard to complain too much about it since it's both a solid joke and a pleasant reminder that the show Nip/Tuck was a thing once. Plus, and it hurts me to say this, the Constantine stuff was really the weakest of the three plotlines.

That's probably a good place to start. At the end of the last episode, Neron-in-Ray's-Body teleported away from the Waverider taking with him Gary and Constantine. I actually missed, at the time, that John had been taken with them, and so I was a little confused when we opened in the ice age with Him and Neron and no Gary in sight. That said, they cleared up pretty quickly that Gary had been sent to the Time Bureau, although why Neron would bother to do this was a little unclear at first.

Gradually, however, one thing became very clear. Neron is probably the most competent villain that the Legends have ever encountered, and his 'to do' list is shockingly task oriented. What Neron wants, ultimately, is his lady friend Tabitha to be released from Hell. Once she's out there's probably some idea about conquest and domination, but for now all we really see is Neron being laser focused on getting her out. Seriously though, how nice would it be if step two was just him and Tabitha taking a nice vacation in the wine country and getting a couples massage?

In any case, Neron has clearly taken a moment to troubleshoot his plan, because he's very efficiently begun from 'the Legends will try to stop me', reasoned that forcing John to use his magic over a very large trap will be a nice way to get them out of the way, foresaw the hitch of the Legends just calling the Time Bureau to rescue them and headed that off by getting Gary on his side and having him make the Time Bureau unavailable to help.

So, despite how things look at first glance, all three of the plotlines this week are just three different pieces of the same plan, and neither Neron nor the show feel any need to overtly point that out. Indeed, the most impressive part of Neron's plan such as we see it this week is just how not flashy it is. He's not showing off for anyone or trying to impress his enemies, or any of those common villain-flaws. He's efficiently anticipating threats and neutralizing them while simultaneously maneuvering John into the position of either allowing both himself and an innocent to be sent to hell, or to stabilize the portal to Hell which will allow Tabitha to come back to him.

And the ultimate result of this well prepared and competently executed plan? He wins. Absolutely, 100% Neron achieves exactly what he intended to do, with no hiccups whatsoever. There are precisely two things that happen which Neron didn't intend, and neither of them matters to him in the slightest. The Legends manage to escape from their snowy grave and Constantine decides to swan dive into hell to save Ray, and neither otf those things matter, as they have zero impact on Tabitha's successful escape.

The Swan dive into Hell was a nice resolution to a theme that's been bubbling away under John's plotline. He's repeated many times that he's a complete bastard, that he's a monster, that he's a horrible person. Because believing that about himself is kind of Constantine's character brief. But the emotional climax of that theme was probably the easiest thing to miss in this episode. We're told that the Puca only mirrors those that are around it. If you're angry, it's angry, If you're violent, it's violent. And when it's alone with John, it's kind. Judging from the look on John's face when the Puca heals his forehead, he didn't miss the significance. That's what brought about the change of heart that led him, the first one to board the 'Ray's gone and never coming back' train, to jumping into Hell to bring back his friend.

That's just a really solid emotional through line.

Meanwhile, The Waverider is trapped below 500-odd feet of snow during the ice age. Sara immediately makes the logically correct choice to turn power down to minimum so that they can conserve it as long as possible while they slowly freeze to death while bickering. How nice was it, by the way, that they were all wearing spare Captain Cold jackets because Snart left a supply of spares. That was just adorable.

It's easy to give Ray short shrift as compared to his team-mates. He's the sunny, optimistic one, and that's a character type that it's just way too easy to make fun of these days. Character's like Mick and Sara, with all their gruff cynicism are just more fun to watch, we tend to think. How wonderful is it, then, that the secret to the Waverider's escape was to find and embrace their inner Ray, turning the heat back up to full and determining to enjoy each other for as long as they can, because even if all they have is each others company, that is not nothing. The answers in the Cards to Save the Timeline game were a little on the nose, but I don't care. The Legends were saved by the magic power of optimism and friendship, and that's just fine by me. We need more of that. Also, please mass produce that card game, I want to play it.

Which leaves us with Gary and his hypno-nipple, Stepford Wife-ing his way through the Time Bureau and interrupting Nora's new hire paperwork. This is basically your by the numbers 'all of your friends are being turned against you, one by one' template, although it's very well done. It also must have been nice for Adam Tsekhman to get to shake things up in his portrayal of Gary, although I do wonder if he was told early on just how much of the plotline this year was going to be driven by his nipple. I feel like that would be a weird burden to carry. It's thematically pleasant that this plotline too was solved by remembering that you aren't alone. In this case, Mona and Wolfie. It would appear that Wolfie is essentially a separate personality from Mona, and can take control of just portions of her body to communicate, which is interesting.

So, three distinctly separate plot threads, all of which are really just different parts of the same plot thread, all of which essentially boil down to the idea that 'friendship is good'.

This episode just works really, really well.

Everybody remember where we parked:

The first stop for both Neron and the Waverider is the Donner Pass in the Ice Age. This is little less precise than they usually get, as there were at least five ice ages, and they tended to last for a little while. Things get a little more specific when the Legends trace John's magic and realize that he's 1.3 million years in the past, but that still seems like a suspiciously round number.

It also begs the question of whether the Donner Pass would actually exist 1.3 million years ago. Wikipedia assures me that the Sierra Nevada range began it's uplift 4 million years ago, so it's theoretically possible, I suppose. But let's be honest, they really only set things there for the sake of a few cannibalism jokes.

Next, Neron takes john to a 'Celtic village' in 55 BCE. That's 'Before Current Era', which is an alternative phrasing to B.C. although they both refer to more or less the same thing. It's a little odd that a show that's already confirmed the existence of Christ would use the more neutral term.

Quotes:

Nate: "And who knows what he’s doing in Rays name, or his perfectly grass fed organic butter-body."

Nate: "What do we do till then?" Zari: "Stress eat." Mick: "Drink." Charlie: "Yeah, how’ve you lot survived until now?"

Gary: "Let’s rap for a sec." Mona: "Is Gary cool now?" Co-worker: "That’s impossible."

Gary: "No need to stress. Unless your infraction is looking too good in that suit. Agent Reyes knows what I’m talking about." Mona: "Oh my god, I think she just swooned."

Sara: "There is such a thing as too much exposition, Gideon."

Nora: "My forms keep getting rejected because records show I’m fifteen and living in a mental institution."

Charlie: "Good thing that this Snart bloke kept a supply of supply of jackets though, innit? They smell good, too, actually. What is that, is that sandalwood?"

Sara: "Look, I know that book convention was important to you. And I’m really glad you got to go." Mick: "I’m glad you have Ava."

Sara: "Look, Ray would want us to have faith that we will escape. He wouldn’t want us cold and miserable. So right now, we are going to enjoy our time together. Let’s go."

Wolfie: "You will do no more harm with your nip-ple!"

Ava: "It’s a long story, but Gary took over the bureau. He nip-notized everyone." Nate: "Yeah, you’re gonna have to explain that."

Bits and Pieces:

-- So Tabitha is the fairy godmother from 'Witch Hunt'. I did not see that coming. Did they meet in Hell after the team sent her there? Are fairy godmothers all really demons? I have so many questions.

-- They seem to have forgotten that Mick likes Ray. That was sad.

-- It's out of character for Mick to question Sara's decisions. That felt forced.

-- It appears that Wolfie ate Gary's Evil Nipple. Is Gary still evil? He did choose to go with Neron at the end.

-- 'Gary's Evil Nipple' is going to be the name of my new punk band.

-- Dragon eggs need more heat than that. They should be kept on a fire because their mothers breathe on them. Yes, I am a Ravenclaw.

-- It's surprising that we went anther week without Wixtable the Dragon hatching or becoming particularly relevant. Perhaps they're saving him for the finale.

-- Everybody knows that Zari and Nate are hooking up and responses are in the positive to indifferent range.

-- Neron slicing his own throat was a really nice effect. And of course John couldn't not stop him.

-- calling John 'Johnny' was Dez' thing, not really Neron's. It seems odd that Neron is still doing it.

-- Honestly, the gimmick of John's ancestor being the one who was persecuting the Puca felt a little gratuitous. Like, they really only did it because they thought it would be fun for Matt Ryan to play a different part for a bit.

-- 'Persecuting the Puca' is going to be the name of my new punk band.

-- Back in the day, the Hellblazer comic's letter page was constantly full of the debate about whether it was pronounced Constantine rhyming with 'mine' or Constantine rhyming with 'mean'. The publisher was very clear that it was 'mine'. I suspect we've ended up with the other pronunciation entirely because of the Keanu Reeves film, which isn't as bad as you remember by the way.

A deceptively elegantly structured episode that comes down whole-heartedly on the side of optimism. What's not to like?

Three and a half out of four creepy nipples.

'Creepy Nipples' is going to be the name of my new... oh, never mind.

Ayesha Liveblogs Naruto Shippuden S20 (Pt. 3)

I wonder if going after Karin’s Tsukuyomi bulb was happenstance or whether Tobirama went “I smell an Uzumaki” and had at it

“Just be quiet for a bit” How dare you speak to your father this way Sasuke, Kakashi does nothing but love you

“EVERYONE WILL OWN A DOG. GO GET A DOG, HOKAGE’S DECREE!“ you’ve got my vote, Kiba

Mirai as a baby is an absolute unit and I love it

Shikamaru, getting down on one knee in front of Temari: Will you not marry me?

You know what. All these dreams are extremely realistic. I buy it. A teenage boy would totally dream about kicking his friends’ asses for fun even if he had the opportunity to do anything in the world. 10/10 believability

Sai dreams about being told he has a nice smile and being twirled around by Naruto my boooooy 😭😭😭😭😭😭

“[My Sasori transformer] will be the guardian deity of the Sand” Kankuro pls

Omg Temari’s dream is so cute she wants her little brothers to need her

God the fact Gaara’s dream is about having a happy childhood PICK UP THE PHONE RASA I JUST NEED TO TALK

“Madara, don’t you dare talk about the Uchiha. The only one who has that right, is my big brother.” But he did... murder them, Sasuke. That is a thing that happened. My dear. My dude. He done did it.

Having read Itachi Shinden none of this should be shocking but FUGAKU REALLY YOUR SON IS FOUR WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS

“Listen Itachi, never forget this sight” well he sure won’t now that you’ve given him CHILD PTSD FUGAKU

“We finally have peace, and we must do our best to maintain it” Hmmm.... must you, Fugaku? Is that a thing you must do?

“What is life, anyway?” Damn my existential dread didn’t kick in at least until I was in school, Itachi

Sasuke was such a weird-looking newborn I love him

I wonder how the English dub will deal with the mild implications of inc/est between Itachi and Izumi

Please Mikoto your son is like 6 why are you having him babysit

God I am so used to every version of Itachi having the voice of a grownass man that hearing a child-like voice even when he is 6 is almost off-putting lmao

Full offence Obito but why do you have to be such a little bitch

“Oh good, I knew that you’d be alright” HE’S 6 FUGAKU

Why is Naruto just sitting in a basket on top of his father’s grave??? Who let you do this? Hiruzen what is wrong with you??

“I’m glad that you didn’t die” an accurate representation of Itachi’s social skills at all ages

DFhsdjfhkdsjhfk I love that Itachi has accidentally become these kids’ leader

AHHHHH I guess that’s Hana next to Itachi I wanna see the cat ninja and dog ninja fight

“If the fighting can be stopped, I’d like to stop it” Shisui <3

Itachi’s sweet tooth is so goddamn cute ahhhh what a little nerd

Hhgfkhjfhl SASUKE’S PAW ENCYCLOPEDIA THE PREQUEL THIS IS WHAT I NEVER KNEW I NEEDED

“I mean, [ladies] are clueless” “How dare you insult my woman” Turns out the alcohol this cat was drinking was Respect Women Juice

God I love Minazuki-sensei he’s such a mess

“No they blew away in the wind” guess Itachi hasn’t picked up his snitching tendencies yet lmao

Baby Sasuke has acquired a younger voice too I guess. It is real late in the game to be establishing these lmao

Obito. I’m. Stop???? Please. Is this how Kakashi felt during the war

God I love Shisui the tiny ninja detective they really have left off some of the cooler aspects of being a shinobi in all the wild and flashy jutsu like during the Land of Waves arc when Kakashi kept noticing relatively mundane clues

“Shisui picked up on how I felt right from the beginning” welcome to empathy Itachi

“I’ll hand this intel over to Lord Hokage, and he will deliver a just and fair judgment” I like this ANBU vs. ROOT dichotomy but bold of you to assume Hiruzen won’t ultimately let Danzo do whatever he wants lol

Damn what the shit how does Shisui know who the foundation already isn’t he like 12

The animation of this arc is nice but also so weird they really did make Itachi and Shisui’s eyes like half of their face

These wholeass adults getting between by two prepubescents lmao

“A teleportation jutsu has no mass” wait WHAT I have so many questions Shisui what does that MEAN

“I want to you to think of me as your older brother” HELL YEAH HE DOES

Ffgdfkghkjh what an abrupt voice change between age 8 and 11 Itachi

How many times have they animated these same goddamn Itachi scenes

Holy shit it’s like they tried to tell the story of the Itachi Shinden novels and then got bored halfway through gfkhgfkhgkjh

“I’m exhaAAAUsted from my mission” Itachi pls why say it like that

“You have the Mangekyo as well?” Fugaku had a friend???? Unrealistic. Blocked

THEY KIDNAPPED NARUTO??? I DON’T REMEMBER THIS IN ITACHI SHINDEN

Genjutsu but I don’t remember that either ?!?!?! Doesn’t Fugaku spend all of Itachi Shinden being emotionally distant and sending Itachi mixed moral messages

Who is the Fugaku hater on this storyboard staff lmao I’m crying

I have a lot of thoughts about this art direction honestly why is everything in the shadows why are the character models so weird why is Itachi suddenly outside in the lightning for his murder discussion meeting instead of inside the council room if you had to shout over lightning people could hear you

“I challenge you to the high jump” “You’re no match for me” Sasuke you’re the most obnoxious seven-year-old in the world I love it

“There’s something that I’d like you to help me with” a very casual opener when you’re proposing the murder of your entire clan but okay

They really leaned into the horror movie aesthetic huh fair enough

I have some objections to register about Izumi’s death like both options are weird but at least in Itachi Shinden she wasn’t humiliated by Obito begging for Itachi to save her she had a degree of awareness and it was an impactful if strange scene

FUCK THE TOBI VOICE I KNEW IT WAS COMING BUT I’M WHEEZING

Cute new ED but also the idea of Tobirama giving anyone a fistbump amuses me immensely

“Who would’ve thought that that scuzzy bearded jerk would’ve been able to use a taijutsu like that” RUDE but also ‘scuzzy’ jhfjghkjhfgj

Omg that’s so funny they literally gave the former owner of Zabuza’s blade the same voice

This doesn’t make any fucking sense how could Juzo have the executioner’s blade when Zabuza would be like 21 when Itachi was 13 oh my god

“The Hidden Mist doesn’t keep any prisoners” unsurprising but interesting

Is this meant to imply that Juzo is killed and then Zabuza immediately finds the sword and starts a coup because that’s hilarious

Wait how does them fighting the Mizukage make any sense isn’t Yagura under Obito’s control lmao who wrote this

Did Itachi just.... accidentally cripple the Mizukage omg [Zabuza screams in the distance]

Hahahaha I know it’s supposed to be evil but it’s really funny that Kakuzu killed his partner for being too slow

“I wouldn’t know how to cater to your moods” kjfhgkdhfgjh Kakuzu just got wrecked by a thirteen-year-old LMAO

“I’m not sure what to do with you... whether to kill you right now or find a way to use you” KILL OROCHIMARU, ITACHI, IT’S GONNA SAVE YOU A LOT OF TROUBLE

Why the hell would Kabuto be hanging out near the Akatsuki anyway isn’t he in a long term infiltration of the Leaf Village lmao or can Orochimaru summon him like a snake

On what basis does Pain decide these partnerships did Kisame and Sasori take a babysitting course or smth

The cutaway without the “This... is art” scene is almost funnier because it implies Itachi just had to flash his eyes at Deidara and Deidara was like, “HELLO AKATSUKI I AM HERE”

“I wouldn’t mind giving you a taste of my art” [insert ninja sex joke about Deidara’s mouth hands here]

Deidara really should not be old enough to be here by this point in the narrative but this entire arc has been wacky timeline wise

Man it must be fucked up to fight a puppet version of your own corpse

“What I really wanted... was to get a hold of Itachi’s body” you are the definition of stranger danger Orochimaru

From what I remember the video games had Kakuzu and Orochimaru approaching Hidan and not Konan and Itachi but I’m game for any Orochimaru erasure lmao

I’m pretty sure all of that blood was Hidan’s?? World-building whomst

“He licked Kakuzu’s blood” did he though?? Show me his wound Itachi

OMG they’re really heavy-handed with Leaf!Itachi as if we did not just watch a bunch of episodes of Itachi caring about his village like honestly look at this:

Kisame: So even you have feelings for your birthplace, is that it?

Itachi: No. Not at all. [Sasuke, I hope that you’re safe.]

(Me too Itachi 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭)

“It’s been a long time... Saaasuke” could you say his name a little less weirdly please Itachi

You really can’t get mad at Kakashi for teaching Sasuke chidori Itachi like maybe if you would murder less people Kakashi would feel a little less overprotective

God was the only point of animating and voicing these scenes again so that Itachi could mentally apologize every twelve seconds? You know what fair enough, anxiety and depression be like that sometimes

“You still have people who’ll protect you” Oh plot twist Itachi was actually writing a “Nice” list instead of a “Naughty” list and Kakashi, Jiraiya and Naruto are all on it

Oh yeah I kind of forgot that this was all supposed to be like a 5 minute span for Sasuke’s flashback of Itachi’s entire life lmao

You know.... it’s real unclear to me how Obito wakes up from his trance lmao he may not be in a cocoon but he’s certainly exposed to the light

“Be careful. We’re surrounded on all sides by four of his shadows” “Yeah I know that” Yeah, Naruto knows it, but Sasuke’s warning where the Shadow Madaras are entirely for Kakashi and Sakura’s benefit BC HE WORRIES MY BABY BOYYYY

“This chakra is even way stronger than Ten-Tails” I really heard “Tenten” there and I was like, wait what did I miss with Tenten kfhkjhgkjhg

OH GOOD ANOTHER UCHIHA FLESH MOUNTAIN JUST WHAT WE NEEDED

“They’re turned into White Zetsu” I hate this nonsensical bit of world-building it made more sense and felt less weird when they were Hashirama clones like what the fuck

Oh I can’t believe this is making me feel almost bad for Madara did Zetsu really edit the Uchiha Stone Tablet’s Tsukuyomi section to say “Peace Plans” ain’t that how like the CIA entraps people

“Hashirama... where did I go wrong” We’d need a lot more time than you have to unpack that Madara

“Countless nights passed” I mean. Was it countless nights. Because I think it was. A couple hours. This war arc spans like two days. I have spent more human hours on this arc than they’ve spent ninja hours in this war

“I can’t believe such a person existed” neither can I Sasuke it’s almost like she was invented specifically for this arc

For real Obito no offence but like why aren’t you dead it just doesn’t make much sense khkjfdhkjhgkjh

Hmmm not 2 be that gal but Kaguya’s voice is v pleasant on the ears

“Sorry to be so rough with you, Obito” Kakashi. You loving, kind, dumb bitch. He stabbed you THREE TIMES in the past two days you really owe him like -1000 apologies

“This is also one of those times where your body just moves on its own” SASUKE CALLED OUT FOR LOVING HIS COMRADES

“I’ve got to get to Naruto” I love your dedication Minato but I feel as though the loss of both of your arms makes helping more difficult

Kakashi is not NEARLY as surprised about this levitation thing as he should be. I think as this point he’s just like. ‘This might as well happen’

All other things aside Kaguya’s really fun to look at damn

Okay okay okay not to look for too much logic in this ninja show but don’t both Naruto and Sasuke have Six Paths chakra why can only Naruto float is a metaphor for Sasuke’s fall from grace

“I am Kaguya’s child” I can only imagine a Game of Thrones-eque shadow flying out the hooha situation

“Just before the seal took hold, she gave birth to me, in order that she could be restored” I can only assume Kaguya fucked Bitterness and Regret and you know.... fair enough

I gotta tell you Zetsu being the primary narrator of this arc is jarring

Tenji seems kinda nice it’s a shame something terrible will probably happen to him

Say what you will about SP’s animation inconsistencies they can animate some beautiful-ass skies

“Is there anything that you desire” Get u a man like Tenji

Fellas is it gay to sit under the stars with your handmaiden who adores you in comfortable silence

“Even now you’re not scared. That just makes me like you more” take a shot every time a man is Like That (bah dum tss)

“Do Not Touch Me,” wow Kaguya mood

I will clarify I said that BEFORE she exploded the men gkhkjfhgkhh

Tenji, that Aino lady is your subordinate are you really gonna leave her with the creepy That man u are not the man I thought you were

“Just tell him, and I’m sure that Lord Tenji will forgive you” to be fair Aino you could’ve elaborated u were just like ‘yup she killed them’ and left it at that

WOW I RESCIND ALL COMPLIMENTS TO TENJI CALM DOWN DUDE

When life gives u lemons use people as fertilizer for ur infinite lemon tree I guess

Are you telling me 1) Gamamaru has existed since the DAWN OF CHAKRA and 2) He knew all about this Tsukuyomi shit just like. Kept it on the DL. WHAT KINDA WORLD-BUILDING

Okay but for real did the Otsutsuki clan stem like.... all the clans, because there’s the Kaguya clan (through Hamura I guess?), and the Hyuga clan definitely through Hamura, and then the Senju, Uchiha, and Uzumaki through Hagoromo like just how many people did your kids sleep with and for that matter how long ago was this

“A real talking toad! Think people would like it if we caught it and took it home?” Why are Hagoromo and Hamura the cutest things in the world this is the sibling content we deserve

“You’re just a snake oil salesman, and not a very good one” oh I think I love Hamura oh no I would love a character who gets stuck on the moon

Take a shot every time a woman exists to die and make a man sad

“She fell in love with the ruler of this land and in time she became pregnant with the two of you” notice that at no point does Gamamaru say they got married can u believe Kaguya invented premarital sex

You know none of this goes against mine and Sloane’s Kagumo theory

“How can you see so far into a toad’s heart that clearly” Gamamaru and Hagoromo’s interactions are killing me

How much time has passed for Hamura’s hair to grow that long

Hamura @ Kaguya: BROTHERS BEFORE MOTHERS

HOW MUCH TIME HAS PASSED FOR HAGOROMO TO DEVELOP THIS BROW RIDGE SAGE LAND TAKES A TOLL

Tenji doesn’t even appear in this flashback about love and betrayal it’s just Kaguya being bitter bc her gal Aino died they were in lesbians together

Every so often I’m reminded that Kishimoto has a twin brother and I wonder what he thinks about making the twins fight

“You enabled me to awaken the mangekyo sharingan and rinnegan” how do u even have words for those things. Didn’t they just happen right this moment

Wow this is all very Little Shop of Horrors, Momma feeds the tree with people juice and in turn it wants to protect her from harm

“I split the Ten Tails into nine souls” SOULS? HAGOROMO CAN... JUST MAKE SOULS. COULD HE POINT AT GAMAMARU AND SAY “YOU ARE TWO FROGS NOW” AND THAT’D JUST BE TRUE?

“We won’t be that far apart,” said Hagoromo, just as his brother was about to teleport to the moon

Side note: Maybe ur crops were failing bc without the moon the tides are all out of whack and you know, the moon was apparently just invented right now

“Time passed, and so did Hagoromo” I love this particular literary device

“Time after time I’d approach the reincarnates of Indra and Ashura” okay so we’re supposed to be down for not only regular reincarnation in Naruto but Indra and Ashura ONLY BEING BORN TO THE SENJU AND UCHIHA CLANS REPEATEDLY WHAT WHO WROTE THIS

Does this mean that people Naruto and Sasuke every 50 years????You’d think the Land of Fire would just. Get used to it

“Just with that alone, a thousands years passed” well at least we have some idea of how much time it’s been since Kaguya era lmao

Ur telling me that this horseshit happened bc Tobirama doesn’t know to leave dead bodies well enough alone

SHHHHH I PREFER THE ZETSU BEING WEIRD HASHIRAMA CLONES

This montage of Zetsu taking credit for everything Madara and Obito did is not appreciated lmao take some responsibility for your actions!!!!

I’m gonna keep harping on this for the rest of the war honestly like where is the ACCOUNTABILITY

“So your teen rebellion continues” LMAO UR NOT WRONG

“I know that this could be our last hurrah, but we gotta give it our best shot” not much of a plan Naruto sweetheart but fair

Tag urself I’m Kakashi’s look of despair at his hormonal students

“And Sasuke? Sorry that my sexy jutsu didn’t work” I was not prepared for the sincerity with which that line was delivered

The Sad Old Man™ energy radiating off Obito is... Immense

“We’re all ready to die” R U THINKING OF RIN BC SHE WAS READY TO DIE OR BC UR READY TO SEE HER EITHER WAY IT’S SAD KAKASHI

“I want to thank you for helping me out. And for helping Sasuke” “No, there’s no need to thank me” this is the first time Obito has been right about something since the age of 13

“I’m not going to waste time on speeches,” said Obito, in the middle of a dramatic speech

Minato..... how did you chop the branch.... with no hands to pick up a kunai???????? What kind of yoga contortion was involved

What I imagine the subtext of this scene to be:

Hagoromo: New old son!!!! I am dad now

Hashirama, whose dad was Butsuma: [choking back tears] Okay

Tobirama: I also hate our father

They’re all taking to this “demi-god pops out of the bottom half of dead ex-comrade” thing pretty well but to be fair they’ve had a complicated day

Shell Game (16/?)

Kei debates the merit of drawing attention to herself, then decides to do it anyway.

The Sports Festival.

Kei had some serious mixed feelings.

On one hand: Legal freedom to use her ��Quirk” to get ahead! As long as her Water ninjutsu could be successfully manipulated with enough flexibility to accomplish the task. And in the middle fiddly bits, Kei could punch people.

On the other: A media circus literally inconceivable in the world she’d spent her life in up until this point. The entire world’s eyes were on a bunch of high schoolers and their superpowers, with all the scrutiny that implied. And Kei was a sleeper agent.

On a third hand, possibly generated from Wood Release and flipping everyone off: There was a non-zero chance someone from home could see the competition. Obito and Kakashi would be off patrolling Hosu to make up for Kei being anchored to the UA event, but that still left people like Hayate, but Sensei’s demands since the USJ clusterfuck had included recordings in formats Konoha could process. So, with that thought in mind, Kei had to make any performance good enough not to embarrass the hell out of her team. She had no doubt whatsoever that Sensei, Kushina, and Naruto would get that chance, not to mention her teammates and all her friends. And the UA teachers had all seen her entrance video, so that was just a bit more pressure to not choke horribly with more cameras in play.

“You’ll have to be more passionate, more fiery, than anybody else there if you want to catch the audience’s eye!” Kayama-sensei had told them all, during announcements the day before. Which, given the general air of immediate deflation that swept across the room—with the only bastions of hope being Kei, Shinsō, and the two overworked class representatives Shingetsu Fukurō (Quirk: Head Rotation) and Homura Yui (Quirk: Fire Hair), didn’t seem to help much.

She tried, though.

It wasn’t until later that Kayama-sensei tracked Kei down and had a chance to chat with her, specifically.

“I know you have your own decisions to make,” Kayama-sensei said, with her flogging whip resting against one hip, “and that you’re possibly one of the least-passionate students I’ve ever had—”

She was hardly wrong.

“—but while I am going to be the chief umpire, I want to see you do your best out there. You and Shinsō-kun have been working hard, haven’t you?”

Kei blinked.

Kayama-sensei had seen Shinsō and Kei leave school together a few times. There was also a real chance the principal had told her about the bank robbers. And Kei had made a point of paying attention for the last week or so, which she was sure the other teachers would have noticed. She’d even asked questions. Such unheard-of developments made news headlines around the world.

“Yeah, I…” Kei scratched the bottom end of her scar, a little embarrassed. “Sort of? It’s been an interesting few weeks.”

“You were a little closed off before, but I understand why.” Nonetheless, Kayama-sensei winked and gave her a thumbs-up. “I’m glad you’re coming out of your shell, though! Kids your age need to live a little.”

“Thanks, Kayama-sensei. I think.”

That was an unfortunate pun.

Considering she’s in on this scheme, I think it’s perfect.

Ugh.

As a result of regulations and support items the Hero course students would otherwise have access to, what with being heroes and having costumes and shit, everyone in the UA Sports Festival was competing in their gym uniforms. Kei changed in the girl’s locker room with the rest and emerged into the waiting area while still picking at her sleeves for loose ends. Using chakra scalpels to cut the threats off was probably a waste of the precision Kei had worked years to gain, but waste not, want not.

She was still fussing with them when Shinsō stepped forward, because it was easier than worrying about what her boys were up to in Hosu. Leaving her phone in the provided locker went against about five different impulses.

“You seem nervous,” Shinsō commented, though he didn’t seem all that worried.

“Not about this,” Kei replied, finally giving up on her shirtsleeves and sighing. “Everyone back home’s gonna see me in this tournament.”

“…Is that a bad thing?”

Kei pinched the bridge of her nose. “Only if I lose badly.”

Shinsō made a noise that might’ve been a laugh, making Kei glance at him. “With an attitude like that…”

“If I lose to the explosion kid, I will never hear the end of it.” Kei sighed. “Ever.”

“Why’s that? He’s supposed to be the top contender out of all the first-years.” Shinsō, she noted, hadn’t tried to redirect her vague challenge to him. Maybe he was being more mature now, but Kei didn’t count on it. “Everyone’s aiming at that punk.”

That was a fairly long explanation. And it involved revealing that the explosion kid wasn’t the only person who’d ever blown something up by touching it with destructive intent. Kei probably hadn’t been making her contact explosives for as long as Bakugō Katsuki had been a hazard to public property, but she knew that kind of attack. That kind of pattern.

And best of all, that kid wasn’t using fūinjutsu.

Kei beckoned Shinsō slightly closer, so the two of them were slightly off in a corner of the room, then decided partial truth was bound to be funnier than an outright lie. She whispered, “I once blew up my teacher when I was thirteen.”

In that moment, Shinsō could have been carved out of granite.

“He shouldn’t have taught me how to make the stuff I used, and anyway he was fine. Teleportation Quirk,” Kei said, before Shinsō could look any more alarmed. “He started making fun of me afterward, and then said I could try again.”

“The more I hear about your school, the less I want to,” Shinsō muttered, while the other 1-C students started edging away from them. Kei just shrugged while Shinsō tried to incorporate possibly the second-most incriminating detail Kei had ever let him know about into his worldview. The first being the…practical training. And how Kei learned it. “Now I have a headache. Thanks for that.”

“You wanted to know why I was focused, and now you do.” Kei rolled her eyes when Shinsō glared slightly down at her. “There is no way Sensei would stop laughing if I lost to someone like that. He’d call it poetic justice or something and I’d hate him forever.”

“I’m starting to think I should be halfway across the stadium for deniability if you do anything,” Shinsō complained, but didn’t seem to mind too much. He hadn’t started running, after all. But that could mean he just didn’t believe her, which was probably safer for his sanity.

“Pff, no one could blame you for anything I do.”

Shinsō raised an eyebrow. “You’re saying this to the person whose Quirk is literally called Brainwashing.”

“Yep.” Kei was aware of the incongruity. She just didn’t care.

Shinsō settled for rolling his eyes. And then it was time to join the other classes in the opening ceremony.

The Sports Festival took place in what would have been an Olympic-sized stadium anywhere else, dwarfing the Chūnin Exam setup Konoha used. When she looked up, Kei could spot a massive dome stretching far overhead, stage lights off for the daylight event but nonetheless present. Thousands of seats lined the stadium walls, each of them filled with a person who wanted to see a bunch of fifteen-year-olds kick the snot out of each other. She liked the jumbotron-style screens, though she probably could have done without the reminder that everything from this moment forward would be broadcasted live.

Present Mic was the announcer. This was, perhaps, the most perfect job ever fucking devised. A guy with the Voice Quirk and endless capacity for hype generation and shouting. If Kei didn’t already know he was a DJ to end all DJs, she would have wondered if he moonlighted as an American football sportscaster.

General Studies entered second out of the department, announced collectively as “Next up, General Studies classes C, D, and E!” where the Hero classes got separate spiels. Made sense, though—flashy Quirks and ambition were concentrated in those forty students.

Kei just kept silent behind Shinsō, listening to their classmates lose heart. She could draw attention to herself later.

Kayama-sensei stood tall on the podium as the classes all gathered. Kei hung near the back, well behind the hero kids and most of her classmates, while Shinsō was closer to the front. Too many of the students had physical Quirks that obscured her view, so Kei settled for closing her eyes and expanding her chakra sense outward like a slowly widening net.

Nothing. Wider, then.

“Silence, everyone!” Kayama-sensei snapped her flogging whip, stepping up to the microphone. “And for the student pledge, we have Katsuki Bakugō!”

Kei could almost feel her classmates rolling their eyes.

The kid made his way to center stage, footsteps echoing in the sudden quiet.

And once he was up there…

“I just wanna say, I’m gonna win.”

Kei stuck her fingers in her ears before the crowd around her erupted in shouting. Off-hand, she could pick out the 1-A kids collectively before Iida got loudest, followed by the steel kid from 1-B. And then there was just more shouting, because nobody had bothered to tell the grade’s other resident delinquent that there was supposed to be a speech, not just a challenge.

Kei opened her eyes once Kayama-sensei got control of everyone again. She didn’t even need her whip this time.

“Without further ado, it’s time for us to get started!” Kayama-sensei called, microphone in hand and a smile on her face. “This is where you begin feeling the pain!”

So, is this—?

Please don’t say it.

“The first fateful game of the festival! What could it be?” Kayama-sensei held her arm up and a screen plunked down behind her, showing a single roulette spinning wildly until it came to a sharp stop. “Ta-dah!”

Obstacle race, huh?

“All eleven classes will participate in this treacherous contest,” Kayama-sensei went on, “The track is four kilometers around the outside of the stadium.”

Kei glanced at Shinsō, who nodded back. They wouldn’t team up, but they full expected to see each other in the next round. In this event, they would simply use every skill they had individually to excel.

It wasn’t like Kei could actually tell him not to use his Quirk and show it off. She certainly planned to do…something interesting.

“I don’t want to restrain anyone, at least in this game.”

Before I was rudely interrupted—

Isobu, no!

Kayama-sensei licked her lips, then grinned widely and said, “As long as you don’t leave the course, you’re free to do whatever your heart desires!”

Kei smacked both palms into her face. Kayama-sensei dresses like that every damn day, and now you’re breaking my acclimatization.

I am saying it.

Do what you want. Kei grimaced under her hands.

That is most definitely a dominatrix.

And now I can’t unthink anything about Kayama-sensei’s sex life that you just brought to mind. Absolutely none of it. Thanks for that.

“Now then, take your places, contestants.”

The entire first-year class gathered at a massive set of double doors. Kei glanced up, made a ballpark guess at the number of students versus the width of the opening, then sighed.

Three.

Two.

“What should we be paying attention to at this stage of the race?” Present Mic asked Aizawa-sensei, up in the media booth.

One.

And when Kayama-sensei screamed, “BEGIN!” Kei watched the inevitable rush that packed the entire place like a canning factory.

“The doorway,” said Aizawa-sensei’s grim voice.

Enthusiasm was rewarded to some degree, but so was planning. And unfortunately, the first years’ energy didn’t work out for the ones in the midst of the crush.

Shinsō was already gone, vanishing into the crowd. It was probably time for Kei to get moving, too.

From a standing start, Kei leapt.

No one in 1-C doubted Kei’s physical prowess, but neither could they explain it. Even as ice flowed toward the outside of the stadium, caused by somebody’s Quirk, Kei bounced off walls inside of the tunnel above the students’ heads. Water droplets splattered here and there, making the chill just that much worse as she ricocheted from contact point to contact point. To her fellows, it probably looked like she was using her control over water to stick herself to the tunnel walls and her athleticism to do the actual grunt work. Something, something, surface tension.

Chakra was pretty funny like that.

Cheating is all in the spirit of shinobi tradition, isn’t it?

Indisputably. Now make sure you place well.

Kei made it back into the light the instant after the ice froze most of the pack leaders of the race to the ground. She landed and rolled, crystals shattering half-formed along her back and snow caught in her hair. All around her, the students struggled in the ice she just brushed away, her gaze focusing forward to the two-toned head of one of the class 1-A students. Some people were frozen, others just slipping on the ice, and they were bound to see more of that as this kid made his way forward.

“Nice try, Todoroki-kun!” yelled one of the girls from class 1-A, as she and several of her compatriots fought their way past multiple waves of sheet ice.

Kei passed Shinsō, who was being carried by three likely-brainwashed students. She waved at him, then darted forward toward the lead position.

Traversing ice wasn’t really any harder than walking on water, no matter how much Todoroki made. It was mainly a matter of sticking to the surface instead of suspending herself above it. Purple spheres falling all over the place was her real concern—Obito had told her how the water villains during the USJ attack got caught, and Kei didn’t plan to repeat their mistakes. And if she passed Midoriya and Uraraka along the way, she at least spared them a friendly wave as well.

The first leg of the race seemed to be pretty tame aside from the other competitors. The obstacles were no-shows so far.

Cue the robots.

[PART 2] HAKUMYU LIVE2 - SPECIAL GUEST EXTRAS - Matsuda Ryo

Rightio, I am not sure if anyone likes this but I am continuing! (Whenever I have the mood of course :p). I will do Izawa Yuuki-kun’s guest corner after this because I enjoyed his appearance because he gives out many behind-the-scenes stories (although I iz biased only on Piroshi & Gakkun’s Hijikata because they look more similar to HijiHiji #/CHIIzurumode) or maybe Piroshi’s (but Piroshi’s one is better in the honpen version :D funnier). Then lastly Gomoto Naoya-kun and Shuuto-kun. Let’s see if I have the time

PART02: Matsuda Ryo-kun (12/08, Kyoto, EVENING)

[01:37:35]

Mori-Producer: This is Hakumyu butai after 2 1/2 years for you right?

Ryo-kun: Yeah

M-P: A lot of memories

R: Definitely and just now, just in time when I was about to enter this stage I passed by Saitou Hajime (Hashimoto Shohei-kun ^^) and I thought he has such a gooood expression~ (his face)! And when I saw that thought, I am glad he is the Saitou Hajime now.

M-P: … The first Hakumyu was in Ikebukuro, a small place that first just about 200 persons.

R: Yeah

M-P: Matsuda-san was giving his all XD

R: And I was talking in fullblast Kansai-ben too XD Wa, that brings back memories.

M-P: Back then I kinda judged would this kid be able to talk properly.. (Tokyo’s accent / without Kansai-accent) XD

R: lol and now I can speak fluently XD

M-P: Such a reliable person

R: That time I was just 21 years old M-P: So that was 4 years ago..

R: Yes this year I am turning 25 years old

*fans cheering*

Thank you, but not yet it is next month.

M-P: Right now lets watch the digest (Hakumyu clips) of 21y/o you

[01:39:00 - Digest on screen]

[01:40:08]

M-P: Definitely cool right

R: Do you really mean it? :p

M-P: I mean it!

R: Did you see that fukuchou just now? What the heck was that? (Piroshi’s scene appeared in the digest too and fans went UUUWAA~)

You see before I came I received a LINE message from Yazaki-san (Piroshi)

AUDIENCES: What did he sayyy?

R: Oh he said ‘ライブがんばれよ’ it was all in Hiragana -.- But that’s just like him XD And I said I will do my best anyway.

M-P: Do you still remember your lines (Saitou Hajime’s)?

R: More or less I do

M-P: We wanna hear it right?

AUDIENCES & ME: YASSSS

*M-P passes him a Katana* R: You know just now (noon performance), I wrongly placed the Katana on my left side (** because Saitou Hajime is famous for being a left-handed Samurai so he always had his katana on his right side.. in which as far as I know when I was really into Japanese history back then XD;; — it is not an acceptable / out of norm for a ‘samurai’ to behave in such a way, duh right? And that’s why Saitou Hajime felt so strongly with Shinsengumi, because they accepted him for his skills ^^)

M-P: lol that was a mistake

R: Yeah it was

Audiences: KAKOIII

R: Thank youu //// Ahem.. eh wait.. (he forgets his line here XD) Audiences: GANBAREE!!

R: *recites Saitou Hajime’s line* If you have conviction, be it a comrade or not, you’d cut. blablah

R: During Kazama-hen, there was a scene of me with Amagiri-san (Gomoto Naoya), it was a scene in which Amagiri-san lines was to explain something. And Saitou Hajime, me was supposed to be at standing at the left side of the stage over there, to listen. There was such a scene. And just ONCE, I think it was Kobe-performance, I didn’t appear (to stage :p). So the Amagiri-san at that time just went through with his lines on his own alone. And I was actually just at the side-stage seated, waiting for the next scene. I sat and I sat. Till suddenly Heisuke, Ikeda Junya-kun came running and yelled ‘GET OUT THERE!’ and I was just slightly annoyed like wth? ‘HA? WHY SHOULD I?’ and he said ‘IT IS YOUR SCENE, GET OUT ON THE STAGE’. And I realized belatedly ‘Eh?…… EHHHH?!!!’

& ever since that incident, I really get ready but for every performances after that, any other casts Shuuto-kun or Manji-san would stand to look over me and make sure it goes well and each time I will *fighting pose* to them (lolol XDD)

R: & then another mistake I did was, there was a time I left my Katana and that was supposed to be my final fighting scene. I think that was also during Kazama-hen and I was in a state of not being able to do anything at all. And then I made eye-contact with Suga-chan (the ensemble), and just forcefully grabbed his Katana away and started my sword fighting performance. (LOLLL OMG THIS RYO-KUN XD)

And there is a line of Saitou Hajime that Mori-san likes.. and at that time it really came to me.. I thought, ahhh it’s meee?! XDD (hehe I am not sure what’s the translation something about one’s failure ruining one-self.. one of Saitou’s complicated line but at that time, that line came to his head and feels like he himself is being ‘scolded’ by Saitou Hajime).

[01:43:50 - Kazama-Shougo enters stage]

Audiences: CHIIKAMAA! CHIISAMAA!

Ryo: Chi-samaa *waves* I think we’ve met since a long time ago

Kazama-Shougo: I dont know about that

R: Ah.. I see, sorry

K-S: Was there a guy who was this flashy? As far as I remember it was a manly brusque guy..

R: *flustered*

K-S: He was the first man to be at the core of Hakumyu

Audiences: WOOOO~

M-P: Do you have any impression of Matsuda-san?

K-S: Of this guy?

M-P: Yeah you start first

K-S: Hmm let’s see.. he has a Cute smile.

Ryo: :p :p :p Well I am happy…. but when you’re complimented by Kazama Chikage you see.. (then i cannot catch what he said… ; v ;)

Kazama-san, then did Shougo-san’s said anything about me? (** Because in part one of Ryo-kun’s appearance, Kazama-Shougo said Shougo-kun is his close friend, as if he and Shougo is two separate entities :p)

K-S: Hmm let’s see.. hmmm.. He said you’re cute

Audience: UUUUU~

K-S: Mm, like a little brother, but he is really reliable (at work), and a passionate guy

R: Aww stop it! *flustered and happy, slaps Kazama’s shoulder and realized what he did before he stepped back* Sorry sorry I thought it was Suzuki Shougo-san XD

M-P: Then how about you about Suzuki Shougo-san?

R: (He complimented he is a wonderful senpai, it is fun to mess around and act with him etc)

K-S: I will tell him (Suzuki Shougo)

R: Thank you, next time, let’s go and have a drink together — the 3 of us (meaning Ryo-kun, Kazama & Shougo-kun, lol XD)

K-S: Yeah, i think that would not be possible

(it is noisy here but i think he said it is not possible to ‘materialize’ it into reality because 3 persons.. Kazama is not a real XD)

K-S: Are we gonna do that (cross sword)?

R: Hm? Lets

[01:46:33]

R: *adjusting his Yukata* Sorry in advance if you see my underwear (LOL i dont think the fans would mind lol XD;;) Btw, it is Black coloured today (LOL he is telling everyone in advance XD)

K-S: Wait, can you do.. (something i dont catch)

R: That scene.. that..

K-S: Oh that, what? which one? (LOL)

R: That one with a ‘Bang’

K-S: ‘Bang?’

R: Chizuru *passes his mic to M-P who is now ‘Chizuru’ XD

*acts out the sword fight — which is I think the part in which he cuts Kazama to death final scene XD*

M-P: Awesoe […]

R: That brings a lot of memory right

S-K: Yep, I think we were a bit flustered

M-P: Any words for Matsuda-san?

S-K: Hm, Hakumyu started from this guy.

I think all the humans who have participated in Hakumyu has made it to what it is today. From now on too, this project.. no.. I would be very happy if everyone can continue to raise their passionate love for Hakumyu and Shinsengumi. Yoroshiku.

R: And the noon performance, it was Suzuki Shougo-san and Kashiwagi Yuusuke-san’s 100th Hakumyu performance.. wait wait *runs to get presents*

Could I give this to you both? XD For you 100th performance, and for being and supporting Musical Hakuouki, until now I am very grateful and respect the both of you, please accept this (He had only one bouquet so Shougo-kun and Yuusuke-kun have to share it :p)

S-K: Presents accepted

R: And since you like Sake (alcohol), so I brought one too.

S-K: If I were to drink this with that guy, I bet it is gonna finish right away (lol)

R: Yoroshiku onegaishimasu

S-K: I’m thankful.

*Kazama leaves the stage*

R: It has been 4 years plus, and this is the 2nd Hakumyu LIVE too and to see so many people coming here loving Hakumyu, I am so so happy. & just like the Saitou Hajime’s line I did just now, Fukuchou’s line (Magai mono ga nan darou ga, tsuranukya, Makoto ni naru which is Fake or whatever, if you push through then it will be Reality/Truth) — I still keep that line even now, as an actor. I thought that line is really the ‘Truth’ (Makoto). Being with everyone today, made me think about it even more. (I think the context is like, just like the line, they did their very best to come to this point in which so many people adores Hakumyu — it has become a Reality ‘Truth’.) I hope Hakumyu will always be a piece that is always loved by everyone. Thank you so much for today.

It is yet to end, so is everyone excited for the 2nd half?!

Thank you so much!

Mysterious Feeling

Summary: Ashley always starts her morning with a quick visit to see a good friend. She never stays for long, not out of trying. But today she would witness a sign that would change her mind about everything she’s ever known about herself. And it all started with a look.

Ship: from blood to lust and love

W: self-insert x canon

((Note: This is my first time writing for black butler in a long time. Please, bear with me. But I really enjoyed writing this, and I hope to continue soon! Don’t worry about the stale relationships, everything is a slow process. Also my character development is big in this, so if it seems struggling now that’s because it’s supposed to be!))

@self-shipping-angel (i hope you’re okay with how i wrote things, if not i can always change them XD)

Soft hums fell past my lips as I trailed my finger over the rim of my cup. Steam flittered from it, wafting my senses and warming me up before I could even taste it. The tea was freshly brewed, of course, but I wasn’t allowed to touch a cup for myself until much later. This was a reheated one, which I couldn’t expect much less for someone like me. I don’t even work here at the manor, I’m only visiting a friend.

My eyes danced across the beautiful table in front of me, fingers dancing across the cool design. It definitely serves its purpose of being top quality, which is nothing less of what I would expect in a gorgeous mansion. I could only wish to live at such a nice estate like this, but I have definitely visited some a couple times in the past.

Whether it be lonely businessmen or someone just below a rich prince of some kind, but I could never be so lucky to snag that. Besides, it doesn’t last for long, only for one day. Enough for me to quench my thirst.

I sighed, placing my palm against my cheek as I rested against it. The only thing I had to observe was the paper. It was a couple days old, one that was thrown out and allowed for my hands to touch. I rolled my eyes, flipping through and taking a sip of the tea. God damn, it was it delicious. I couldn’t say anything, but I knew that it would be absolutely perfect.

Almost… inhumanly perfect.

I lifted my eyebrows when I heard a familiar voice chirp up, as loud as they could be given the time of day.

“Ashley! You’re here!” Sayeko grinned, bouncing down to give me a quick hug.

“Morning, Sayeko! I’m sorry to drop by like this, but…”

“Are you kidding? You always drop by like this.”

I giggled, nodding my head in agreement. We both laugh in unison, knowing that there was no way that I was going to deny that fact.

I always come to the Phantomhive Manor to visit my friend. She works as a maid here since I met her, and at first it bothered me a little bit. Both for who she works for and who she works with. I didn’t mind coming to visit her every day, but sometimes it means having to come face to face with certain characters. Some that like me and others that… don’t.

“Sebastian was actually kind today,” I mumbled, “Made me my own cup.”

I motioned towards the cup in my hand, lifting it up to drink out of.

“Oh, really? That was very kind of him.”

“It wasn’t out of kindness. I was merely trying to make sure things were quiet this morning. What with that scene that you pulled the last time.”

Sayeko jumped out of her skin the moment Sebastian announced his arrival behind us. Me, on the other hand, knew that he was there. I could feel him creeping like a bug, drawing nearer with every breath. I narrowed my eyes and glanced over my shoulder, seeing that tight, narrowed eyed look he gives me every day. I’ve grown used to it now, especially since I know that neither of us will ever see eye to eye perfectly.

We merely co-exist as well as we can to make things civil. Not that we have to, entirely anyway, but it’s better for both of us that way. The first day that I was introduced to him I could practically feel my skin peeling off from his glare alone. The vibrations bouncing off of him were quite strong, then yet again so were my own.

But a mutual understanding grew from that day on. So long as I stay out of his way and he stays out of mine, we’ll be fine. But there’s just one thing that makes things a little dififcult.

The girl sitting right beside me.

My best friend.

“Morning, Seb,” I mumbled.

“Good morning.”

Sayeko was smiling, even though her cheeks were red. I couldn’t point it out to her that she was being obvious, well… to me at least. It wasn’t even fair for me to say that given my nature. It made my own private little joke a lot funnier.

Crossing my legs, I beamed over at Sebastian with a fake smile. He saw right through me, but only lifted a mere eyebrow when Sayeko turned away. The two of us continued with our tea, chatting about our days to come. I usually stretch the truth a little bit for me, but that’s only whenever I’m not showing up full. Like I am today. Last night I had hunted, thankfully, just in time to get some relaxing in.

It was a tough night, but I was full enough to last a few months at best. That’s only a bad night for me. I try to keep the truth from my friends, only because I knew that relationships with humans are only temporary. Humans only last their own lifetimes, and even if I could grow similar bonds... I’m not the kind to want to push myself away from connections like that even with this fact, but I also find some way to keep some things quiet.

It would complicate things anyway. Relationships always complicated things, even with my own kind.

“Ashley, maybe you’d like to come with me to town? I have to get some things for Master Ciel,” Sayeko said with a grin, looking to Sebastian silently for approval.

I sat my tea cup down, and laced my fingers together as I leaned up on the table. My dress clattered against it, showing just how flashy it was. Definitely not something that you wear to the estate, but it is what I would wear.

“May I please go, Sir?” I asked with a fake accent.

Since this was the longest that I’ve been in England, flittering around a lot before I came to stay here for a much longer time. After the connections I made here, I ended up staying, which is why the way I speak is more relaxed and a bit southern at times. Because before I made the decision to come abroad for a different… taste… I was originally coming from a place of more… southern background.

“I suppose she could keep you company, so long as she doesn’t distract you. I will know if the two of you take longer than needed,” He responded.

Then, he flicked passed me to grasp my cup that was still half full in front of me, placing it with the other dishes to be done by the staff. “You should work on that, Miss Ashley,” He mumbled, and I could feel the fire on his tongue. Our eyes met and I could see the glimmer of red that flashed upon them.

Not something to scare me, but it did tell me that I should probably calm down. It’d be different if I was teasing in the human way, but I’m not. He knows me way too well for that even though we’ve barely spoken aside from promises not to kill each other.

“I’ll be sure to make things quick. I do have many things to… attend to,” Sayeko mumbled, “Come on, Ashley. I just need to get my coat.”

I nodded, hopping off of my chair and quickly giving a goodbye nod to Seb.

That was how I ended up taking a morning stroll along the street with Sayeko, helping her run some errands. There was so much she had to do. I knew that she had her business with the Phantomhive kid, but this was a bit excessive. I ended up helping her carry a few bags, which didn’t last long until Sebastian was sweeping in to help.

“Oh! Hello! I didn’t- I thought… Master Ciel needed…”

“Didn’t he tell you, Sayeko? He’ll always be around,” I mumbled, narrowing my eyes again.

Sayeko lifted her brows a bit, but Sebastian was quick to steer away the conversation. Knowing those fucking eyes could come to good use now. Someone’s a bit conceited, but, then again… I can be the same way. We don’t need to be when we have our natural heightened looks and charm. Unhumanly charm, but still.

“The young master sent me to gather some things as well that he had forgotten. Don’t let it trouble you. Here, let me help you with these. Miss Ashley, if you’d like to leave Sayeko in my care. We really must be on our way.”

Oh, he was fucking smooth.

Real fucking smooth.

My blood boiled from the inside as I watch Sayeko smile, and I couldn’t help but feel jealous. Sebastian does end up getting all the attention, and I know exactly why. It’s easy for me to tell and pick up on that energy. But I’m only jealous because of the simple fact that he always wins. No matter if he’s right or wrong, he will most likely win. That could be because she doesn’t know our truths, but also because of that charm.

That, and I am just naturally a jealous person. I’m jealous and sometimes possessive, which was never really a personality trait until I opened my mind to human relationships. But it’s nowhere near the capacity of others. None at all.

I suffered through it, smiling kindly and thanking Sebastian for helping her.

Sayeko waved, giving me a quick hug as the man tugged her forward. “I’ll see you later, Ashley! Have a good day, okay? Same time tomorrow?” She asked.

I nodded, waving before she could get lost in the crowd of people.

Once she was gone, I huffed a sigh and let my shoulders fall a bit. My eyebrows folded inwardly, and I cursed Sebastian’s name under my breath. It was thick and fiery, hissing off my tongue. I knew that now he was gone it meant nothing, but I wanted to do it none the less.

Wiping off my hands on my skirt, I adjusted the clothes to look more fitting and showing a bit more cleavage. It was time for me to get a move on with my day. Now that I was full and clear of skin and wrinkles, I could do anything with so much energy. I wanted to start this by doing some shopping and getting to know a few fresh faces.

Maybe find a job for my cover. Or just something to pass the time.

I started off down the road, my heels clicking against the ground as I walked. Taking on a new form as a bright and cheerful member of society, I started my shopping. Just getting a few new dresses that were more appropriate for the manor to show Sebastian that I can be such. Even though, appropriate is a funny word for something like myself.

While I was doing some quick window shopping, I noticed a faint flicker of some kind out of the corner of my eye. The feeling that came over me next was a familiar one. It was dark and looming, similar to my own whenever Sebastian is around. It’s something that I learn to feed off of, catching the source rather quickly. It’s a great way to access threats in the best way that I can, but it’s not always accurate.

I lifted my brows and turned around, glancing through the crowds of people around me. Passerby’s paid me no mind, aside from the occasional eye lift from people who were weak enough to feel my natural pheromones. I narrowed my eyes, looking through the crowd closer and ignoring everything else. Until I found it. The same glimmer that happened again, but this time… I caught a pair of eyes behind it.

My eyes fell on the figure rather quickly, and I only had a moment to catch the lingering gaze of a man. Tall and slender with nice looking features from what I could gather. I used my senses to somewhat slow down everything else around me enough to take inventory on the man’s features. Because he was beautiful. In every sense of the word.

I knew the moment I laid eyes on him, and saw that look in his eyes, that I was staring at a demon. Not just any demon, in fact. A demon that was after my own heart. I didn’t want to use that term, considering I technically didn’t have one at all. But… none the less… he was absolutely beautiful. But most demons are, except this type of beauty is the kind that I never witness. The kind that seems to be above all others. A kind that I will never see again.

I knew that all in one second of staring. One second of seeing that expressionless face and knowing the darkness that lingered behind it. The two of us seemed to have some kind of connection, or that might have just been me. It’s very rare that someone like me takes a liking to someone of their own kind in this way. But I felt the familiar tingling of my body, casting down below in a way that was… dangerous.

I wasn’t hungry. No I just had a feast to last me a month. This was pure, white hot lust. I hadn’t felt this in a long time. Sometimes I feel it towards humans that approach me, and I’m not looking for anything in particular but a fun time. This was similar, but different knowing that I was doing so to my own kind. It was interesting since I’ve only done this one other time.

I knew in that moment that I needed to have this man, whoever he was. He was going to be important somehow. I hated using that term, but I knew in the back of my mind that he would be. No man, and definitely no demon, makes me feel this way and gets away.

I made that promise the second our eyes disconnected, and a carriage quickly strolled passed. By the time it was gone, so was the man. I felt strange, lost almost. Now that he wasn’t there, I felt the need to chase after him. A stranger who I was unsure of, but I knew that I should.

After all, he is another demon. It would be wise of me to know who he is, right? I chuckled to myself, biting my bottom lip.

“Yes… yes it would be,” I mumbled to myself.

Then, I disappeared into thin air, heading back to the manor for one last pester of Sayeko and the others.

The man’s face never left my mind. It was an odd feeling to have, because I never chased anyone that wasn’t food or sustenance for me. This was going to be completely out of turn for me, but it seemed like fun. And I was never one to give up on a challenge.
