Clover Rants Miraculously: Painting With The Same Brush

You know, I think the most saddest (and kind of funny in an ironic way) things about “Derision” and other episodes/scenes like it is that in the writers attempts to get Chloe to seem “irredeemably evil” to the audience, all they’ve done is make the rest of the cast look bad. Like those scenes don’t effect my view of her because the show already told us Chloe was a brat and bully from the get-go, so learning about the date prank and her forcing Marinette to stay home and the entire plot of “Collusion” and “Confrontation” just come off as learning nothing new. Complete net-zero information. Meanwhile...

Bustier (and by extension Damocles and Mendeleiev) looks like an even worse teacher for ignoring her misbehavior and constantly putting the onus on Marinette to solve the issue if things were this bad already, especially when “Revelation” shows she’s so oblivious to the things going on in class that she's actually genuinely shocked Chloe hasn’t been doing her own homework for the entirety of her middle school career and then some. Like I know the fandom likes to joke that she’s a kindergarten teacher at the wrong school and “haha public education sucks because teachers bad” but DAMN woman, are you telling me you never side-eyed how similar Sabrina and “Chloe” homework tended to be even once (or maybe Sabrina’s just that good at forging handwriting like I often headcanon)? Just how little is FD’s overall funding that no one ever tried double checking this stuff?! No wonder Chloe treats y’all like a joke!

The class comes off as pretty fairweather/uncaring as Marinette was being bullied by Chloe for years (especially since it was stated in canon that Marinette had no friends until “Origins”) but only are only now seem to care about it. Even with the potential excuse of “Well Marinette grew a backbone/they’re less scared of Chloe now”, “Derision” showed the kids cared less about Chloe’s opinion than they do now and were willing to comfort Marinette after the prank, so what was stopping them from openly helping her out up until “Origins”?

The school faculty, despite Chloe having a reputation for exaggerating things and being purposely petty when demanding “punishments” when she feels slighted, constantly not only immediately believing her when she’s clearly making stuff up, but also still refusing to put their foots down (waiting until the grand coincidence of an Akumatized!Bustier forcing Andre to step down as opposed to, IDK, showing solidarity and care for their students by choosing to refuse Chloe’s demands and meeting her threats head on?). Again, what is the school paying you for?

Kim looks like a complete jerk now seeing as how he doesn’t seem to see anything wrong with that he did to Marinette in “Derision” and gives a rather poor apology afterwards - one he had to be shamed into rather than realizing and giving it on his own. Heck the only reason he even gets Akumatized over it is because everyone else was riding him on how messed up it was and he got fed up with it. It also kind of puts into question why Marinette is so friendly with him/still gave him a Miraculous if he participated in what was such a traumatic event for her. And that’s not even getting into poor Ondine having to hear her own boyfriend call another girl (whom is established as a huge jerk) “The prettiest girl in the world” Kim bby I’m so sorry the writers are doing you so dirty

Sabrina’s upgrade to Miraculous holder/her redemption feels even more unearned now because like above, she shows no remorse for her actions in “Derision” or the bullying she’s been (willingly in some parts) participating in for the last four seasons and before then, and only ends up leaving Chloe because Lila takes her spot as Chloe’s bestie and she hated having to share (and because their latest scheme in “Collusion” potentially involved jail time for her if they got caught) instead of genuine disgust at Chloe’s growing nastiness or her own mistreatment because of it. All those years of waiting and fics about Sabrina finally breaking free and realizing she could be better - rewarded with her instead abandoning Chloe to save her own skin and hopping onto the SS.Marinette because it benefited her more (and again, doesn’t involve jail time) rather than genuine regret of her actions. So inspiring

Andre basically allowed Chloe to get away with using his position as mayor to mistreat her classmates+the citizens and flaunt her status as his daughter for years, and only starts caring/putting his foot down when she starts doing it to Zoe and only for Zoe (the “good” non-blood daughter that the original script had him state he “liked better”) before he immediately abandons her to Audrey the first chance he gets, despite understanding what a terrible and abusive person his wife is - And let’s not forget him calling his 14 year old daughter that he raised “heartless” and terrible (to the man who frequently overrides his own child’s freewill with magic mind you). What’s worse is that the show plays this off like it’s his reward for having “suffered” under Chloe’s demands and that it’s all her fault he’s a terrible mayor (like he hadn’t often willingly broken laws or abused his position on his own with no prompting from her for his personal benefit). I’m sure all the neglectful dads who replace affection towards their children with gifts and indulgences watching feel totally respected and represented now.

Poor Sabine and Tom already get a bad enough rep as it is thanks to some of the story decisions made *COUGH*A//doration*COUGH*Ladybug*COUGHCOUGH*, but now we’ve been basically informed that they knew Marinette was being bullied to the point of actually pretending to be sick and...did nothing. And not even in a “We want to help but we’re limited thanks to school bureaucracy and/or our own financial situation” way but at “Yeah we know you’re terrified of your classmate tormenting you again and that this constant slew of harassment from all sides is slowly destroying your mental health but we’re just gonna tell you to buck up”. Yeah, they gave her Socqueline keeping an eye out but that ultimately ended up doing nothing to really protect her in the end

Zoe, for all her goodness and being portrayed as a “better redeemed!Chloe” as her claim to fame, does nothing to make good on her promise to love Chloe no matter what in “Queen Banana” and watches her half-sister being abandoned by her entire immediate family while reaping all the benefits from it (Not to say that’s her fault or she’s required to, just that it’s...well, not a good look for her tbh). While Zoe isn’t obligated to put up with Chloe’s mistreatment (and she isn’t), it def makes her look super hypocritical to claim to love Chloe “even if the whole world hates [her]” and then do/say nothing as her stepdad basically leaves her half sister to suffer from the same fate she escaped from in New York.

Adrien, despite having a front row seat to how awful and nasty Chloe can be to people who aren’t him and watching her torment his classmates for the past 9 months in canon, only now ends their friendship - and over an event that happened a year ago when he wasn’t there that she isn’t sorry for, when she’s been doing worse since he arrived with no remorse then either, with his only response back then being to chuckle and go “Chloe will never change” like a wistful friend. After 5 whole seasons of handwaving his handwaving of Chloe’s bullying, they only now have him care, with the catalyst being that Marinette won’t give him happy-smoochy-times because of whatever happened - and then make it worst by having him try to kill Kim for it, after having him have a near mental breakdown over accidentally giving the terrorist responsible for every one of his current life issues a death sentence with the same method (and also trying to do it to another akuma victim). My sincerest condolences Adrien please join Kim in the “You got screwed badly by the episode narrative” corner

Like, I genuinely have to wonder how they wrote out those episodes and thought anyone involved looked good afterwards. Peoples opinions on Chloe can’t sink any lower than they already are (and if they can, that’s mostly because they already disliked her), but you aren’t making her look worse by slinging mud on everyone else, even unintentionally.

A Chirurgeon’s Cruelty

I actually finished something!

A philosophical discussion between Watson and Lestrade concerning Holmes and the Hiatus. Post-The Norwood Builder.

ACD canon, more or less.

Chirurgeon: Alternate (and a little old-fashioned I think) spelling of surgeon.

In the immediate aftermath of the events in Norwood, Holmes and I found ourselves at Scotland Yard, dealing with the necessary paperwork that inevitably came at the conclusion of a case that involved the police but which never made it into any of my stories as I served no narrative purpose to bore my readers with that tedious legal part.

As my own involvement in the matter had been scant, the pain in my shoulder and leg had bothered me more than usual and thus Holmes had not had me accompany him as much as he usually did, my own statement was quickly made. Holmes's statement was far lengthier and I spent my wait for him in the corridor outside the offices.

I stood there at the end of the hall, leaning against the side of the window while I gazed into the courtyard below, not truly seeing the men milling about on the pavement but lost entirely in my own thoughts until the loud sound of a door being yanked open, then sharply shut afterward, jarred me out of my reverie.

I turned and saw Inspector Lestrade standing in the corridor, his face flushed, and his already pointed features pinched in anger. Seeing me he walked over to me.

“That man is utterly infuriating,” he snarled.

“You've known Holmes even longer than I have,” I said mildly. “His personality can hardly come as a surprise.”

“Perhaps not, but that doesn't make him any more palatable,” he said, crossing his arms over his chest.

I said nothing to that. Though my instinct was to defend my friend I knew how he had a tendency to aggravate police inspectors, Lestrade in particular. What was more, ever since his surprising resurrection not that many months before I had noticed an unspoken tension in their interactions, but I knew that it was one I could do nothing about, they would have to solve this themselves.

“I must confess Doctor, I don't rightly understand how you can so easily accept his treatment.”

“What do you mean, Inspector?” I said coolly, feeling myself bristle at his words.

“You follow him around again like you used to before your marriage. Not only that, you've sold your practice and moved back in. It- Well if you will forgive me, Doctor. It appears not so much that you've forgiven him for the torment he caused you, but as if he never did anything wrong in the first place. How do you do that?”

I knew how it must look from the outside, even for those who knew us both well, like I had a callous disregard for myself to so easily overlook three years of grief and pain, but nothing could be further from the truth. I did not dismiss the pain I had felt at his loss, but I could not hold that pain against him. I knew him too well.

“Because I know Holmes and I know he's not a cruel man,” I answered.

“Not cruel!” he cried. “How can you not call what he did to those who ca- To everyone, for cruel?”

I sighed. I wasn't sure I could explain it in a way the inspector would understand. But for his own sake, and for Holmes's, I would try.

“Perhaps I should have said rather, “without malice". If there was cruelty in his actions, Inspector, it was the cruelty of a chirurgeon who has to cut off a limb to save a patient.”

Lestrade frowned at my words and I continued.

“The chirurgeon finds no pleasure in his patient's pain or the loss he's causing them, but he takes the action anyway because he knows it is necessary. When I was shot during the war the wound turned gangrenous. The chirurgeon in charge had to cut out a significant amount of flesh from my shoulder to prevent the infection from spreading and killing me. He knew there was a risk that he doing so would damage the nerves in my arm and hand, but he did it still because the alternative was worse.”

I swallowed. I rarely spoke of this. Though the pain of my loss had faded over the years, I still did not like to dwell on those times.

“Unfortunately he did damage the nerves. I would never again be able to wield a scalpel. But I never once held his actions against him, nor the loss I suffered. He did it because he thought it necessary and I trusted his judgment. And so too for Holmes. What he did hurt, I will not dispute that. Nor that he put me through three years of grief. But like that chirurgeon all those years ago, he did it because he thought that the alternatives would be worse. Not just for him, but for the rest of us. I trust his judgment too.”

I leaned back against the window frame once more, suddenly feeling very tired.

“You say I act as if I thought Holmes had done me no wrong? I suppose in a way you're right in that. What he did hurt, and that pain will endure for a while. But I do not blame him for what his choices cost me any more than I blame my chirurgeon for what I lost back then.”

Lestrade had remained silent through it all, his expression growing ever more thoughtful, but now he muttered, “I doubt you called that chirurgeon a close friend,” though he sounded reluctant rather than angry.

I smiled.

“I did and still do. He retired from the army some years back and now has a peaceful practice in Kent. I had a letter from him just the other week.”

Lestrade had the decency to look recalcitrant, a flush creeping into his face. He gazed out into the courtyard and I resumed my former position looking out as well.

We stood like that for a while. I couldn't tell what precisely Lestrade was thinking but my own thoughts were now occupied by Holmes. No, I truly didn't blame him for the pain he had caused, though I knew it would be a while before it had faded. Though it helped that I knew he regretted the pain he had caused even if he might not regret the act itself. His behaviour, not just towards me but to everyone close to him spoke of it, he had even grown more considerate of Mrs. Hudson though both she and I wondered how long his best behaviour would last. Even toward Lestrade if only the inspector would see it.

Besides, I had lost the two people I had loved the most dearly in my life. I knew that I would never get my Mary back, but Holmes had been restored to me and my life had taught me to accept all blessings as I found them. I would not carelessly discard this one.

We stood like that for some time, then Lestrade shook himself like a man pulling himself out of a dream.

“I'm not sure I can agree with your viewpoint, Doctor,” he said. “But I will take your words under consideration.”

Thank you, Inspector.”

Before either of us could say anything more the door to Lestrade's office opened and Holmes stepped out into the corridor. Spotting us he strode over and I straightened up at the sight of him.

“Watson, are you ready to leave?” he asked.

“I've been ready for a while. I had little enough to offer this time,” I replied.

“Then let us return home. Good day, Inspector,” he concluded, nodding towards Lestrade.

“Good day, Mr. Holmes,” Lestrade returned.

I too gave Lestrade a nod in parting, before following my friend out of Scotland Yard. Hopefully, Lestrade would come around eventually, I knew I had done what I could.

Dear Penpal,

Fandom: Boku no Hero Academia

Character: Shigaraki Tomura / Tenko Shimura

Prompt: Childhood friends to enemies

A/N: Gearing up! Also, huh what? I’m a multi-fandom blog?! Why, yes indeed! I still am.

Masterlist

“Helloooooo?” Waving a can of coffee in front of your face you are startled out of your reverie by your colleague, straightening yourself in your seat as you realise that you once more have dozed off at work, the happenings and the revelation of the past weekend still clear in your mind’s eye as you try to make sense of it.

“Shigaraki is on the move again,” your colleague says as they nod towards the television running in the breakroom, “was it in your calculations?” comes the next question and you cringe as the familiar ally comes in view, a journalist explaining how the remains of a small-time thief had been found here just this morning.

“No,” you admit honestly, as you forcefully turn yourself around, not needing a refresher course on what Shigaraki’s quirk was exactly. “We all expected him to lie low for a bit after that announcement and then come back big,” you nervously continue as you twirl your thumbs, realising that last night’s events were perhaps outside of Shigaraki’s plans as well.

“It is going to bog the calculations,” you whisper, more to yourself and your colleague just laughs, an uncomfortable chuckle escaping them as the coffee can is put in front of you.

“Relax, okay? You look terrible. Like you saw a ghost or something.”

You scoff at the irony of their words, clearly clueless on your involvement within the case, or what had even happened afterwards.

Tenko, he let me go. Just like that. Why?

Clicking your ballpointer nervously you wonder what to write down more. What would help ease your mind? Feeling a shadow fall hovering over you quickly cover the note you were writing with your hand as you look up at Endeavour.

“Ah, sir, uuh?”

Losing the ability to speak you pale up at the imposing figure of the number two hero who is hovering over you like a villain, his expression stern and displeased as he takes a seat in front of you, his arm resting on the shrinking table of the teacher’s office.

“You saw the news. Shigaraki is on the move which was out of our calculations,” the man says and you sweatdrop at the repetition of the conversation, your head nodding obediently as you don’t dare to express yourself, or even relax around the man. “Have you started up new calculations yet? Gotten through the past files that the helpers gave you?”

Gulping you take in a deep breath as you face the man as bravely as you can, not wanting to seem incompetent or like a doormat. “I will get to it as soon as possible,” you speak without excuses, knowing that if you were to explain the situation it would only grow worse. After all, who fraternised with the villains and even got saved by them, not to mention by their very boss?

Endeavour’s gaze holds you for a few more moments before he finally unleashes a deep sigh, one of which you can swear a small flame escapes from his lips as he averts his eyes from you. “Tomorrow. I want a new analysis tomorrow,” the man declares before he gets up from his seat, clearly done with talking to you as he walks off, leaving you both a little breathless and infuriated.

Between Endeavour and Shigaraki I’m not really sure who is the bigger villain. Tomorrow? What do I look like to him? A computer? I bet this man can’t even calculate what 1+1 is without a calculator!

Venting off your frustrations on the little note addressed to your friend you pause for a fresh breath of air as you let the earlier adrenaline flow out of you. You knew that you were being petty, just as much as Endeavour was being unreasonable with you, but it came with the job. They had warned you for it beforehand, before you moved to Japan and you had taken it anyway for the sake of Tenko.

Hey Tenko, why did you not tell me that you had given up on your dream of becoming a hero?

It was a question you had asked yourself several times, spurning several theories on what might have happened, speculations, assumptions, even probability calculations. None of them made sense, however and in the end you were still left unsatisfied and guilty of an answer.

The address in which he lived before was gone, the man himself was untraceable, there were no records remaining. Slowly you were starting to expect the worst, something that you rather not think about. But it was a possibility that you may have to address sooner than you wanted.

Not wanting to give up so soon you turn on the laptop given to you by Endeavour’s company, logging in on the secured network provided as you take in a deep breath. With another click you find yourself in the secured files that are part of the investigation along with the VPN access to the databases that you will need to be able to work and collaborate.

You knew that they were able to trace your activity and what files and databases you were accessing. You also knew that the chances of them picking you out specifically for a routine checkup was small and according to probability you figured that you were fine if you kept it to this one time. Especially if you kept your search short and innocuous.

Releasing another breath you typed in the old address you had memorised since childhood, your heart racing as you started to pull up the files of the police investigation involving the family…

Shimura. The name stood stark against the rest of the words, the tragedy barely registering as you couldn’t really make out what the story was, your mind running a mile as you felt your mouth go dry. The whole family gone, presumed burglary, but nothing was stolen. No survivors. The story made little sense, but it was a small case that seemed to have been shut just like that. Without any attention to spare and your best friend gone.

Gulping you feel your eyes burn as you wonder why your friend had to be so unfortunate, a bile of bitterness and blame rising up as you tried not to let your mind wander off too far, not wanting to get into this ugly pattern of blaming all and everyone and shifting responsibility.

Had the family that moved into the newly built house afterwards received your letters? What was their reaction, or had they not cared about some random kid abroad?

Looking at the date of the events you knew that it all lined up perfectly. That Tenko had perhaps died that very day. That he had faced some terrible tragedy in the last moments of his life. What was the probability of such a tragedy striking? You knew that with heroes like All Might around that the probability had diminished, but All Might had been in America back in those days.

Somewhere you clicked through to the next report in the file, gulping audibly as you realised that it was a detailed report on the damages as your eyes went down the detailed description the coroners had made and signed.

‘Turned into dust, absolutely obliterated. As if a raging fire ran past, but there are no traces of gas exploding or actual fire.’

Blinking you felt that the description of the destruction was rather familiar, your breath quickening once more as you think back of that night in the alley, when Shigaraki had saved you.

Tenko, I will avenge you. I promise. I will solve your cold case and tell your story. I will give you a voice like you always wanted to give everyone else a voice and a face. I will catch Shigaraki.

Neurodivergent Link Headcanons (BOTW)

Here are... my headcanons for ND Link! I’ve tried to put them in fairly concise bullet points so hopefully they make sense. A lot of the autistic/adhd traits overlap, but I’ve put them in separate sections just to try and make this easier to read

Headcanons under the cut!

Autism:

- sensory seeking! Link needs constant stimulation and his preferred sensory input is touch, whether it’s rubbing his palms over tree bark or smushing his face in soft pillows. Auditory and visual stimulation are good too, but he’s very, very tactile. Of course taste is another big thing for him, he loves cooking and trying out new food and exploring different tastes, whether it’s sweet or spicy or sour, the stronger the better.

- he stims. SO MUCH. he has so many stims that I’m going to make a separate post to include all of them, but the main ones are rocking and flapping his hands.

- very good with gross motor skills, generally good with fine motor skills but there are a select few he struggles with - he has very poor handwriting, has to focus tying shoelaces, struggles washing his hair, overestimates how hard he’s brushing his teeth and makes his gums bleed

- poor interoception. Has a hard time telling when he’s hungry, or tired, or in pain. Sometimes he will walk around with an injury and not realise until he sees blood. Finds it hard to recognise negative sensations and his body tends to just interpret them as discomfort.

- very good at recognising and deciphering expressions and body language, but not particularly good at (or interested in) emulating it. He’s very astute and can pick up on microexpressions and hidden glances and the like, and can work out people’s true feelings or motivations, but in a social context he’s not necessarily good at responding to it.

- easily picks up on small details and notices things others don’t - this can be related to the former point, but also just in general. Also very good at pattern recognition which lends itself well to solving shrines.

- nonverbal. Mostly uses sign to communicate, or noises (usually with animals or people he’s comfortable with). Can occasionally manage to speak in short bursts when he has to, but it’s few words and usually stuttered, and if he gets at all stressed (which he often does if he’s forced to talk) he won’t be able to say much of anything. He can talk a little around Sidon and Zelda, they’re pretty much the only he feels comfortable enough to be verbal with, and they understand the way he talks and are patient when he’s slow or gets words mixed up.

- difficulty with eye contact. Either too little or too much, though usually it’s the former. He only tends to stare at people if he likes them, or if he’s angry with them or trying to make them uncomfortable

- echo echo lalia. Loves to repeat fun noises, especially animal noises, but sometimes words (sees a dog and just goes doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy for the next hour). He does this with sign as well, but tends to prefer making fun mouth sounds

- special interests in food and horses! Those twins at the stable were right. That’s all that’s on his mind. Food and horses. He really loves trying out new ingredient combinations and exploring different tastes. And he knows a great many horse facts.

- forms connections with animals more easily than with people. This is partly because when he first left the Shrine of Resurrection he was alone in the wilderness, and partly because he doesn’t really talk, but it’s also just an autism thing. People are friendly to him, but he doesn’t tend to form deep connections with them like he does with animals.

- can tell the time by the position of the sun in the sky but can’t read a clock. What are those numbers on the slate. It’s a mystery!

- has mild visual processing issues, mostly struggles to focus on things like screens or pages, things look blurry or strangely coloured, or have a weird overlay.

ADHD:

- inattentive AND hyperactive AND impulsive, a triple threat

- gets the Zoomies. Often ends up conking out afterwards. Will run around chasing frogs all day and then just fall asleep in the middle of a field

- Can’t Stay Still. Has To Bounce Leg.

- nonexistent sleep schedule. Granted, he doesn’t sleep well or regularly what with travelling all over Hyrule, but even without that his sleep would be terrible

- sometimes zones out in the middle of a conversation. Good luck guessing whether he’s having a seizure or if he’s just thinking really hard about jellyfish

- alternatively, he will hyperfocus. Very good at hyperfocusing on shrines, or anything that involves challenges. Also good at hyperfocusing on physical activities.

- executive functioning… what’s that. Link doesn’t know. Link can’t organise to save his life and honestly thank god for the sheikah slate because without it he’d be screwed. Cannot schedule, cannot plan, cannot organise.

- thrillseeking!!! He gets easily understimulated and needs adrenaline to survive. Will do anything remotely dangerous for fun and profit.

- often thinks very quickly, usually jumping quickly from one thing to the next, but only about certain subjects (usually related to animals, nature, food, chaotic activities) and usually when he’s full of adrenaline. Although other times, especially when he’s tired, it’s just. Dial up noises. Head empty

- focus juice… for mentally taxing activites? Nonexistent.

Expressive language disorder:

(It used to be separated into receptive language disorder, expressive language disorder, or mixed, but these days it’s lumped together into developmental language disorder. However I use expressive language disorder for link because he specifically only has problems with expressive language (forming his own words) and not receptive language (understanding other people’s words)).

- gets words in the wrong order

- sometimes replaces a word with something else, especially if the signs are similar

- has difficulty with tenses (more so in verbal speech)

- often misses out words completely

- has quite a large vocabulary, but struggles with word recall. Will sometimes remember the word he meant to use hours later

- often flaps his hands in an attempt to remember a word, if he can’t think of it he will try to find an alternative

- c a n n o t s p e l l. Sometimes when he doesn’t know the sign for something, he’ll try to fingerspell it, but if the word is hard to spell he’ll try and find an alternative

- finds sign much easier than spoken language, because its grammatical structure (particularly how it uses tenses and combines language with muscle memory) is simpler to use for him, and because it’s so expressive he finds it easier to get his point across

- his language disorder is a part of why he’s nonverbal (as well as that he has a bit of a stutter), so signing in general is just much easier, though not everyone knows sign, and he isn’t fluent himself.

Epilepsy:

- has temporal lobe epilepsy

- mostly gets absence seizures and focal seizures

- absence seizures (essentially his brain ‘switching off’) are his more common ones. They usually only last a couple of seconds, and tend to look like he’s just distracted or zoning out (which he also does because of ADHD), though sometimes his eyelids will flicker, or if he’s walking or doing something he’ll suddenly stop, and go back to it like nothing happened. He isn’t aware of them at all. If they happen during something like a conversation with someone, he’ll just dismiss it as being distracted, though he does start to notice when he has longer absences and misses whole sentences, or has clusters of absences.

- focal aware seizures (auras) usually present as deja-vu, intense fear, or out of body feelings. He doesn’t realise they’re seizures for a while, since he experiences these anyway, and attributes the deja-vu to the memory loss, but eventually learns to tell them apart because his auras tend to come on very suddenly, though they can last a while

- he also gets focal impaired awareness ones, which tend to happen more when he’s very tired, especially when waking up/going to sleep. When he gets auras he’s still completely aware of his surroundings (and usually doesn’t have trouble moving, unless it’s a particularly bad one), but with impaired awareness he gets drowsy and confused, and won’t understand what people are saying

- usually his focal seizures stay just that, but sometimes they will become tonic-clonic seizures. This is usually only when he’s exhausted/injured/extremely stressed/otherwise worn down. Most of the time his auras come on soon enough to warn him he might have a worse seizure, so he can go somewhere safe (at least, once he realises he’s epileptic

- they’re arguably the mildest, but his absence seizures at the most dangerous, even though they’re usually short, because he gets no warning for them. He usually gets them a couple of times a day (especially waking up/going to sleep), but he gets them more frequently if he’s very tired, and if he gets absence clusters it makes it really hard to do anything.

- his main triggers are sleep deprivation, missing meals, extreme stress, and extreme heat. Which is unfortunate considering he spends his time running around Hyrule on no sleep and forgets to eat all the time.

in conclusion link is neurodivergent and i love him. thank u for ur time pls feel free to comment ur opinions and headcanons etc

#link #breath of the wild #the legend of zelda #also for context i am autistic + adhd #if u have epilepsy or a language disorder and i got anything wrong/said anything problematic here pls lmk!#mmm this took a long time to write bc i dont have brain cellsss #is rebloggable!#simply do not clown if u are not ND thank u #kokiri chatter

AU where Civil War is about Kayano

It never made sense to me why the class forgave Kayano so easily. It was as if she was forced to be evil for five minutes, not that she had voluntarily injected herself with the tentacles. Didn't the class feel betrayed that Kayano had basically blindsiding them? That they were interacting with a fake person the whole time?

It feels like they were invalidating Kayano's Akari identity and her entire revenge arc- it felt like it had no consequences. The class never treated it seriously. They saw her as sweet Kayano who had an angry episode, not as vengeful Akari who had acting for almost an entire year.

And this AU would make sense too- after Kayano's arc in December, the class would be divided on whether to trust her or not, resulting in the Civil War in Janurary. (In addition, it makes me ill to think some of them might actually want to kill their beloved mentor figure, so I think it would be nice to reimagine Civil War.)

Here are the “teams”:

Team Trust- let Kayano stay in 3-E

Members: Nagisa, Sugino, Kanzaki, Hara, Itona, Terasaka, Muramatsu, Takebayashi, Kataoka, Kurahashi, Yada, Okajima, Sugaya (13 members)

Team Distrust- kick Kayano out of 3-E

Members: Karma, Okuda, Nakamura, Mimura, Isogai, Chiba, Hayami, Kimura, Maehara, Okano, Yoshida, Hazama, Fuwa (13 members)

(Note: characters’ views are not my views. Because this post deals with trust issues, some characters’ reasoning may seem offensive and even dismissive. Remember they’re all just teenagers trying to solve a difficult and sensitive problem.)

(Also note: characters’ views are not solely based on canon implications, they’re also based my own headcanons :D)

TEAM NEUTRAL

Kayano- She knows she’s done a terrible thing, and she sincerely apologizes. She admits she stopped wanting to kill Korosensei months ago, but her bloodlust forced her to continue. She also states she was pretending to be nice in the first few months, but claims she started to be genuinely nice afterwards. She understands how some people might refuse to forgive her, and while she is saddened, she totally understands and respects their opinion. She is glad for her friends’ support, but ultimately decides to leave the matter to the class. She doesn’t want to destroy the class’ bond further.

The teachers- They understand both sides of the debate and want to help everyone in the class. If Team Trust wins, so be it. They’re perfectly fine with students requesting to avoid Kayano for projects and assassinations. If Team Distrust wins, they’ll make sure to keep in contact with Kayano even after she leaves 3-E. After all, despite everything, she’s still their student. (And Korosensei’s NEVER going to let Aguri’s little sister go.)

Ritsu- Like in canon, she does not fully understand the human emotions involved, and hence decides not to interfere. She helps to coordinate the war.

TEAM TRUST

Nagisa- He believes even if Kayano was “acting”, she still gave them fun memories, and it “wasn’t entirely an act”. He is inclined to believe people can change, and his friend Kayano deserves a second chance. In addition, Kayano helped to make Nagisa feel comfortable with his long hair (she gave him his pigtails), and Nagisa can never forget that.

Sugino- Like Nagisa, he believes Kayano deserves a second chance. He’s a bit shaken by her “betrayal”, but thinks the entire class (Kayano included) should get along and work towards their goal together. He’s also a bit of an optimist and thinks it’ll all get better eventually.

Kanzaki- She understands the need to have dual identities, and thus emphasizes with Kayano. She believes communication can solve the problem and Kayano should be accepted in 3-E. After all, Kayano, with her traumatic past, needs friends and support too.

Hara- She staunchly believes kicking Kayano away will do no good. Communication is the only way out, and if Kayano’s gone, how will the class and Kayano effectively communicate? In her opinion, they can’t just ignore the problem by banishing Kayano. Besides, she sort of sympathizes with Kayano, plus Kayano’s her friend, so she’s a little biased. Most importantly, Hara is genuinely sweet and kind- she can never hate or “abandon” anyone.

Itona- He’s a little complicated. He hates being used as a pawn, but he understands the tentacles’ influences. He can’t excuse how she voluntarily injected the tentacles for revenge, but he emphasizes with her. And he thinks it would be cruel of him to leave her alone when a) they both understand the painful and manipulative quality of the tentacles and b) the class accepted him even though he nearly killed them. He keeps his distance around her, but in the end, he stands with Team Trust. He thinks it’s the least he can do for a fellow ex-tentacle user.

Terasaka- Originally, he’s SUPER mad. Like, he just wanted to PUNCH Kayano. But after thinking about it for weeks, he realizes the class forgave a) him b) Itona and c) Irina when all three of them put the class in danger. He thinks it would be hypocritical for him to yeet Kayano out of the class. While he doesn’t want to forgive Kayano immediately, he admits she deserves a second chance like he, Itona, and Irina had been kindly given by 3-E. Terasaka has a strong sense of morals (especially after he was manipulated by Shiro), and would hate to be hypocritical. He joins Team Trust mostly due to his beliefs and morals, not because of Kayano.

Muramatsu- He used to totally support Team Distrust, but after talking to Itona and Terasaka, he started to see things in a new light. It’s not peer pressure, but Muramatsu has to admit kicking Kayano out doesn’t solve ANYTHING- it just adds to miscommunication and people will just continue to suffer. Besides, like Itona and Terasaka, he understands the class has forgiven others before, so it doesn’t seem fair they’re so willing to exclude Kayano from their trademark generosity.

Takebayashi- He used to be neutral, but like the other members of the Terasaka Gang, he realizes 3-E is actually a forgiving class. After all, they forgave Takebayashi after he betrayed them and joined 3-A, and Takebayashi is immensely grateful for their support. Hence, he thinks Kayano doesn’t deserve being kicked out of 3-E.

Kataoka- She doesn't believe in “abandoning” Kayano- she’s a leader, and leaders don’t abandon anyone. She totally understands how some cannot forgive Kayano, but somehow, kicking Kayano out of 3-E doesn’t sit well with her. Hence, she joins Team Trust.

Kurahashi- She continues to deeply care for Kayano and believes she needs support. Plus, being kicked out of a class Kayano enjoyed/enjoys being in would just hurt her even more, and Kurahashi doesn’t want that.

Yada- Like Kurahashi, she just wants to help Kayano, even if it means getting to know her from square one. Yada is kind- she doesn’t want to abandon Kayano or make her feel even worse.

Okajima- He’s actually a loyal person who deeply enjoys the bond 3-E shares- or used to share. He foolishly wants it to go back to the way it was, but he knows it’s impossible. But if everyone works towards it, they can surely achieve something close to it, right? Maybe it’s a bit idealistic, but Okajima believes in that hope.

Sugaya- He doesn’t believe in kicking Kayano out of 3-E. He’s receptive and understands Team Distrust’s point of view, but he also believes the other team should be a little more open minded.

TEAM DISTRUST

Karma- He despises manipulation. He hates how Kayano pretended to be innocent and harmless when she was in fact a skilled assassin. Karma cannot trust and forgive Kayano immediately; he wants nothing to do with her. He is also pissed off by Nagisa and thinks he’s selfish. Just because Kayano gave Nagisa happy memories doesn’t mean she should be allowed in the class- there are a lot of people who don’t feel happy about her at all.

Okuda- She trusted and loved Kayano, and was horribly shaken by her identity reveal. Okuda ends up with serious trust issues, to the point thinking about Kayano makes her physically ill. She has panic attacks and struggles with sleeping. She still wishes the best for Kayano, but doesn’t want anything to do with her anymore. She also oesn’t want Kayano’s apologies. In addition, it sickens her to see her other friends (eg. Nagisa, Kanzaki) stick up for Kayano, so she avoids them and sticks to Karma and other Team Distrust members.

Nakamura- Similar to Karma, she cannot forgive Kayano immediately. She might seem casual and chill about it, but she actually spent several nights thinking about it. She’s a little shaken, but in the end, she coolly decides Kayano leaving would be the best option.

Mimura- He personally wants to give Kayano a second chance, but he values class harmony above all. Letting Kayano stay would cause a lot of problems, and if she left, her friends could contact her without involving the entire class (including people who were deeply hurt by Kayano). So, logically, with the class’ best interests in mind, he decides to go for Team Distrust.

Isogai- His reason is similar to Mimura’s. He genuinely likes Kayano and would like her to be redeemed, but he’s the class leader. He wants to make sure everyone is happy and comfortable in 3-E. And if letting Kayano stay in 3-E makes other people uncomfortable and panicked, it’s not a good choice. As painful as it is, he joins Team Distrust for 3-E.

Chiba and Hayami- They value trust immensely, so they feel betrayed and blindsided. However, they continue to be professional, and unlike Okuda, they can work smoothly with Kayano. Personally, they think it’s best if Kayano leaves the class. Surprisingly (or not), Hayami is the more hesitant one. Her family has never been around much and so she emphasizes with Kayano a little bit, but not enough for her to leave Team Distrust.

Kimura- He wants justice. To him, letting Kayano stay implies she doesn’t have to deal with serious consequences. Consequences are needed, or else it isn’t fair- it isn’t fair to Kayano, isn’t fair to the class. Besides, he sees how his other classmates are hurting because of Kayano, so he believes Kayano should leave 3-E for the greater good.

Maehara- At first, he tries to forgive Kayano. He truly does. But the more he thinks about it, the more he finds the idea of manipulation and pretending to be someone else unsettling. Like VERY unsettling (even if he knows it's due to the tentacles). Maybe he's especially sensitive due to his (failed) romantic relationships, but he cannot really trust Kayano anymore. He's hesitant to say it at first, but after discovering a couple of his friends feel the same, he joins Team Distrust.

Okano- Similar to Maehara, she tries to forgive Kayano, but the more she thinks about it, the weirder she feels. And she hates it because she just wants things to be simple, but it's not simple and she doesn't know what to do, so maybe Kayano should just leave and give the class peace and quiet to sort things out. She knows she'll learn to forgive Kayano someday and be friends with her again, but she cannot do it now, so ultimately, she currently stands with Team Distrust.

Yoshida- At first, he and Terasaka and Muramastu were on Team Distrust, but then they changed sides. Suddenly, Yoshida feels like he’s alone in his beliefs (he is, in fact, Not). Yoshida might not speak much, but he is actually rather disturbed and scared by the entire Kayano incident. And because most of his friends appear to be “pro-Kayano”, Yoshida wonders if he’s the bad guy. In reality, he doesn’t want any harm to come upon Kayano, he’s just... scared. And confused. The other Team Distrust members validates his feelings, leading Yoshida to trust Team Distrust (ha) and ends up joining the team.

Hazama- She is disturbed by Kayano’s betrayal, and while she doesn’t hate or fear Kayano, she doesn’t want to deal with Kayano. She’s a little complicated, because while Hazama understands Kayano’s dark ideas of revenge, Kayano has hurt and scarred other people, and Hazama cannot excuse that and pretend it never happened. Besides, she knows Yoshida is feeling like shit, and decides to join Team Distrust due to personal beliefs and to make her friend Yoshida feel better.

Fuwa- At first she’s fine with the whole thing, and she believes proper communication can help to ease tensions. Plus, Kayano’s her friend! Again, Fuwa’s a little complicated. But after a while, her overactive imagination (which may or may not have been encouraged by reading manga) causes her to wonder if EVERYONE in her life is lying. Obviously, she knows this isn’t the case, but it causes her so much fear, she starts to subconsciously avoid Kayano (the source of her trust issues). While she seeks to mend relations with Kayano, she ultimately decides it’s best if she takes a break from Kayano at the moment.

Phew! This was a rather long post, and it turned into a character study midway :P If anyone has their own interpretations/thoughts, feel free to reblog and add! :D

(Thanks to Discord friends for discussing with me :D)

(Course of the war now here!)

What Happened Is Not Right And That’s Okay (Chapter 2)

Ao3

Link to Chapter 1 Fandom: The Owl House Rating: T Warnings For this Chapter: Dehumanization, ableism, possible borderline gaslighting, and parental ignorance/neglect possibly bordering on child abuse. Relationships: Eda Clawthorne & Lilith Clawthorne, Eda Clawthorne & Eda Clawthorne’s Mother, Eda Clawthorne & Principal Bump (additional relationships to be added as the story progresses. Summary:Living with a curse was never a simple task. And really from day one Eda knew it was going to be complicated. But she can't help but wonder at times. Just why hers has to be this complicated.

In short: An Exploration of what life might have been like for Eda growing up with the curse. AN: Hey there so what story is basically what it says on the tin. With some creative liberty of course.

Something to keep in mind is that this story progresses: 1. Explore Eda's character and others in response to the curse 2. Help myself explore and come to terms with my own Chronic Illness 3. Help educate others who aren't as familiar with disabilities on the realities of the situation. This one is important to me since the fandom can have an ableism issue. And I would like for readers to maybe take away why the use of certain tropes is a lot worse than they might realize. 4. This story is not meant to be either tragedy or inspiration porn. 5. I've only really begun interacting with the disability community in the last few years. So if I do a misstep its unintentional ignorance. Which I realize is not great either. I just want to make clear my intent is not malicious. If someone else who is in the community in some form be it Neurotypical, disabled, chronically ill, etc. sees something questionable within the story that comes off as unintentionally ableist please tell me. I would be happy to clarify if the plot beat was unintentional (and fix it) or somehow deals with the story itself. Which will happen sometimes. 6. Some of this is based on my own experience. Some of it is not. The parents issue this chapter is a good example of it not being based on my own experience.

This story will touch on some topics that might be sensitive to some readers. I will include warnings . If your sensitive to the topic please keep that in mind before starting it. Also please bear in mind that not all chapters will have the same element. So while one chapter might have one issue, the other might not. A good example of this is an arc I will be exploring later in the story involving ableism in sports.

For anyone who wasn’t around for the first chapter. This was originally inspired by @beckyarteest‘s fic before it went off and became its own quasi multi chapter AU (I am bad at sticking to canon compliance): I'm getting old and I need something to rely on.

Anyways Actual story is under the read more. Ao3 link is at the top. Please let me know what you think!

One day turned into two and two turned quickly into a week. And after that with no real sign of the ‘curse’ resurfacing, Eda had actually started to think that maybe everyone else was right.

Maybe whatever had happened that day was just a one off thing.

Unfortunately, reality had made that hope come crashing down just over two weeks after “the duel that wasn’t” with Lilith.

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

Eda wouldn’t remember the moment that would properly change everything about her life.

Though, she guessed that wasn’t entirely accurate. Considering the biggest moment had happened a week prior was when she had been supposed to be vying for an Emperor’s Coven spot against Lily. The day of her first transformation.

However the incident in potions class, the moment they now knew this was almost certainly not just a one off incident like they had been hoping? That was the moment it became all too real for Eda.

Even if it would be a while longer before it became real for the rest of the family. That was the day reality started to sink in for Eda. As it was the day that she knew at least to an extent that her life wasn’t going to ever be the same.

It would also be her first gateway into the many, many issues that came with the curse. Whether it be other people’s treatment of her cursed form, right or wrong, or just still having people take her seriously in the beginning.

Something that would be a recurring struggle she would have to deal with in the coming years.

Much like the duel, she would only be told what had happened afterward. The entire time she was transformed she wasn’t even aware of what was going on.

It was something that would over time become associated with fear and worry. At the time though, for an Eda who was still in denial, it was more of a source of annoyance.

Eda didn’t like that she had to rely on other people to necessarily do ‘the right thing’. Especially since in both instances so far it nearly hadn’t ended in her favor.

Thankfully of all people it was apparently Principle Bump who came to her rescue. Seeing reason when one of the other teachers had tried to suggest handing her off to the head of the Beast Keeping classes for the time being...

Bump scowled at that not particularly liking the way this conversation was going, “She is still a student. A transformed one but one nonetheless. Unless she starts attacking someone there is no reason to be summoning Arden.”

Sure, he may not be particularly fond of Eda’s antics at times. Sometimes he wished that the entire Clawthorne dynamic wasn’t like how it was. It was a source of many of his headaches.

But that did not mean he supported putting Eda in a cage.

Even if she wasn’t in her right mind currently, she was still a student. And she wasn’t being aggressive. Honestly, this other form so far hasn't been aggressive at all. Though who was to say that wouldn’t change?

He was more than a bit concerned with how little they knew. However, there was one thing he was certain on: that forcing her into a cage would make things worse, not better.

Not that he particularly liked the idea even before you factored in the fact that they’d be caging a student.

“So what do you suggest we do with her then, sir? Leaving her out could cause property damage.”

Which, arguably, was more Eda than anything else.

“Put her in my office and call a healer. Hopefully someone will know what to do to get her to transform back.”

“Sir, I must protest. Putting her with you could put you-”

Bump cut the other teacher off before he could continue. “I didn’t become the principal of this institution by sitting on my thumbs Marcus. I am more than capable of handling an unruly student. Even if she has been transformed into another creature.”

Not that he genuinely thought handling would be an issue.

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

“So what your saying is neither of you can help.”

Bump had ended up summoning both a healer and grabbing DeFrost anyway. Hoping maybe one of them would know how to solve their issue.

“I apologize, sir. But I’m used to dealing with minor curses. Things of inconvenience mostly. Under normal circumstances, I would refer this student to a specialist. This is way beyond my own capabilities to treat.”

And of course, they couldn’t do that without involving the Clawthorne parents. Who he had tried to alert when Edalyn had transformed again. But they had both been busy and he had yet to hear anything from them yet.

“And I’ve never seen a creature quite like this. Cursed or otherwise. I could possibly see if I have anything discussing something similar to Ms. Clawthorne. However...”

“Most likely Edalyn will have transformed back by then.” Bump concluded.

So apparently they were dealing with not just a curse. But a rare curse. Great.

Why was it that nothing involving the Clawthornes was just plain and simple?

“At the very least can you tell me if she’s any sort of danger?”

That way he could have his staff stop bothering him.

DeFrost adjusted their glasses. “Well it's hard to say without knowing the curse or how it impacts her mind. But based on normal cursed creature behavior most likely she won’t be a danger to anyone unless she’s provoked. However there’s still a lot of questions there...”

“Like what could provoke her.”

“Exactly.” DeFrost nodded. “Sir, I know you said you could handle if anything happened but-”

“I can handle myself just fine Arden. I appreciate your concern but if I need your help again I will ask for it.”

“Understood sir.” DeFrost agreed reluctantly. Before taking their leave.

“Am I dismissed as well sir?”

“No. Actually I wanted to ask. I know you can’t help her return to normal. But I imagine the transformation back won’t be easy on her. Is there anything we can do to ease that at least?”

“Well yes. But that would normally involve the family…”

“I’ll handle anything that might come if they protest. This is already a difficult time for Edalyn. Let's not make it worse.”

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

Thankfully time really was all they needed for Eda to transform back.

Though rather than answering his questions and possible suspicions. Eda’s return to awareness just raised even more of them in their steed.

“Welcome back Edalyn. How are you feeling?”

“Like an icicle is trying to drive a hole into my skull,” Eda said, wincing again rubbing the right side of her head. “What happened?”

“I believe that you will probably want this, then.” Bump rather than answer the question slid the potion that the healer had left for Eda when she finally returned to normal. “The healers figured you might have one after you transformed back.” Bump explained as Eda downed the bottle.

Eda frowned as she put the bottle down again. Now that the pain was receding she could think a bit more clearly. And realize that she couldn’t think of a reason for why she would be in the office in the first place. “Back? Wait was I-”

“Transformed into that creature from the duel? Yes.”

“I didn’t even realize it,” Eda noted with a frown. Much like the last time everything was just a giant blank from right before she transformed. Which worried her on another level. Why was she unable to remember anything from when the spell, curse, whatever it was took effect?. “I didn’t hurt anyone did I?”

“No everyone got out of your minor escapade without a scratch.” Bump assured her. Deciding to leave off the near incident with DeFrost and the cages for the moment. It wasn’t like he hadn’t specifically told them not to get the Beast Keeping professor involved.

Eda sighed in relief. “That’s good at least.”

“So you really aren’t aware of what happened after you transformed? I take it?”

“No, the last thing I remember is being in the potions classroom. And then waking up here. Everything between the two is a blank.” Eda’s face scrunched up in a frown. There was a bit of a tangible residue of some sort of memory. But she still didn’t know the relevance of it. “Mother’s going to kill me for missing class.”

“I would have thought you might be somewhat pleased by the new attention.”

After all that had been a reason behind some of Eda’s pranks over the years. Though sometimes Bump wondered just how much Eda realized this herself.

“Not like this.”

“Either way I’ll write a note. In the meantime you really should have a specialist check you.”

Eda winced. “That’s probably going to be easier said than done.”

“If it comes to it, the same offer I made to your sister when she was being given difficulty by them I’ll extend to you. If you need someone to help you get seen about this curse then I can try to help you find someone that your parents won’t cause problems with.”

Eda winced remembering the fiasco that had been trying to get her sister her glasses. There was an unfortunate high probability history could repeat itself. She really hoped her parents had maybe learned. “I’ll keep that in mind, thank you Principal Bump.”

“Your welcome.”

Eda’s unusual politeness wasn’t lost on him. Go figure the most polite conversation he had ever had with Edalyn was because of a curse.

Maybe he should have tried a different tactic with the youngest Clawthorne?

Too late to fix that now he supposed. =============

Any small hope for Eda that maybe her parents would take it seriously when she got home. And not try to toss it again under ‘something else’ didn’t last longer than five minutes after her mother got home.

“Clawthornes don’t get cursed.”

“But-” Eda began to try and protest. Absentmindedly scratching her wrists. While most of the pain had subsided with the potion Bump had given her, there were still some residual aches and pains from the transformation.

Just like last time in fact.

“End of discussion. I will not entertain this absolutely absurd discussion. Let alone the idea of taking you to a specialist.”

Eda scowled, not ready to back down without a fight. “If it's just a spell then why did it happen a second time?”

“I don’t know Edalyn, maybe someone thought they should continue the lesson.”

Eda opened her mouth to try and continue the argument. Only to have her mother disappear through the door, slamming it shut behind her.

“But I haven’t even done anything this past week.” Eda muttered to herself.

After the first idea of it being a curse had gotten into her head. She had decided to try and be better. The transformation had hurt! She hadn’t wanted to go through it again.

So as difficult as it had been she had hung up her pranking supplies. For now at least until whoever was angry with her cooled down.

If this really was because of a prank. Then someone was really vindictive was all she could say.

Either way whatever caused it wasn’t really the problem anymore. It was figuring out what to do next before the curse resurfaced a third time.

Normally she would have turned to Lily for guidance. But her sister was away at training. Meaning it was her against her parents. And she had no clue how to handle it from there.

It had always been them against the world. Even when that world sometimes included their own parents.

With the one person who may have understood their complex family dynamic gone. With her having no idea when she would see Lily again. She had no one to turn to.

Sure, Bump had once said that if she needed help to come to him. But this felt like a bit of a reach.

Maybe it was for the best to leave it alone for now. Maybe if it happened again her parents would take it seriously.

She knew that the likelihood of that happening was probably small, but what else could she even do at this point?

Her parents' reaction, while infuriating, was not entirely unexpected. And it was even less likely to change if her childhood was anything to go by. Since, if it was something that made the Clawthorne’s imperfect, then it was not to be acknowledged. Even if it impacted their own children.

And if there was anything that indicated an ‘imperfection’ it was having a curse on a child.

Titan knew how it had been a fight to get Lily her glasses. Eda couldn’t even begin to imagine how complicated things might be if this was something far more sinister than getting your sight corrected.

She guessed if she needed too she could try looking for care on her own. She was old enough now that she didn’t need her parents there at a healer’s appointment. But then again the fall out from going to a doctor when she didn’t have her own source of income.

Well it would be a mess.

Why did this have to be so complicated?

What about a fic where kamilah and mc make a sex tape and then it’s like a movie night at kamilah’s penthouse and lily accidentally played the sex tape in front of everyone. (What if something happens to the tv and they are struggling to stop the Sex tape😂)

Warning: NSFW (+18), a little bit. But then it’s just funny hahaha

Kamilah couldn’t take her eyes away from Annie and her sexy lace set. It was a dark shade of red, a gift she had given her wife a few months ago. The human matched it with a dark lipstick to look as hot as possible for that tape. It was her idea to film them, and Kamilah was each day a little less able to say “no” to those whims, especially when it involved her wife in sexy lingerie.

“Wait… Almost…” Annie smiled, glancing at the hungry Vampire who was sitting on the edge of the bed. She finished fixing the camera, adjusting the timer for ten seconds. “Okay. Now you can touch me.”

Kamilah arched one eyebrow, red eyes watching as the human got closer and climbed up to her lap. Their lips brushed for a second, but, this time, the Vampire was not allowed to kiss her, or the lipstick would be messed up. Annie specifically instructed her this way.

“The things I do for you, my love…” nails dug the human’s butt, pulling her closer with a rough movement.

“You will thank me later when I have to travel to Brazil for a month. I bet you’ll be watching this many tim…” Annie’s voice failed when Kamilah’s tongue licked her hard nipple over the thin bra, tracing a path until reaching the neck. By instinct, the girl started to slowly move against the vampire’s thighs, heat growing under the lace underwear.

“I believe it’s you who will thank me soon enough” she tightened the grip on Annie’s waist. With little effort, Kamilah pushed her to stand up on the edge of the bed, giving her balance by grabbing her wife’s butt again and pressing the lips against her underwear. She could smell the desire and wetness underneath. “How am I going to endure an entire month without your taste in my mouth?”

Annie bit her lower lip, looking down to meet Kamilah’s eyes. She watched as the Vampire slid the tongue along the fabric, a mischievous smile showing afterwards. “Let’s make it count tonight.”

Four months later

It was just a regular weekend off. Not much to do, but the best thing possible: hang out at home with friends, being lazy, drinking and talking. They loved this kind of weekends, even Kamilah was enjoying letting herself be a little bit unproductive sometimes.

“What are we watching tonight?” Adrian was laying down on the floor, wearing his regular blue pajamas.

“I’m not sure… What do you think, Lily? Jurassic Park?” Annie held the DVD up, a bright smile on her face. She loved dinosaurs.

“Not again, please.” Kamilah sighed from the kitchen, still pouring wine for the group. “Something less childish this time.”

“Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine” she put the movie back on the shelf, roaming fingers along the others.

“What about this one? It sure looks like something your Queen would like.” Lily laughed as she took The Name of the Rose on her hands, flashing it to Adrian. “So?”

“Looks good.” He agreed, always neutral in those decisions. There wasn’t a film he didn’t like.

“Looks boring.” Annie frowned, but kneeled to put it on the player. “Alright, let’s watch it. But next time, it will be a trash comedy!”

“Hell, yeah.” Lily jumped on the couch, making herself comfortable while Kamilah was bringing the trade. One icy glance and the younger vampire already fixed her posture to make sure nothing would be spilled.

“So, did you choose something better? I brought you white wine.” The Egyptian leaned forward to let Annie take a glass. Hers was, obviously, the only plastic one on the trade. Too many were broken before, so the human didn’t have permission to use the real glasses anymore. Not that she cared, though. There was some pride in holding a pink plastic cup with Dumbo’s design on it.

“Yes, and you won’t complain about this one. Its historic…”.

“OH NO!” Screamed Adrian, suddenly turning over to hide his face on a pillow and almost causing a major wine accident, if it wasn’t for Kamilah’s abilities to dodge. “ANNIE TURN IT OFF, TURN IT OFF!”

“What… Oh. OH! Girl. You look super hot, can I borrow that?” Lily couldn’t stop laughing, shamelessly watching what was on the screen.

Kamilah just calmly left the trade on the coffee table before sinking in the armchair. “I can’t believe it. I hid it so well.”

“WELL?” Annie was trying to take it off, but she pushed so many buttons at once it only made it worse. “This isn’t hiding well! Why didn’t you leave it in the bedroom?”

Adrian covered his ears with other pillows, trying hard not to listen to their dirty talk and moans. “I am begging you, make it stop!”

“Oh, grow up.” Lily pocked him with her foot. “It’s just sex. They’ve probably already fucked all around this house.”

“True.” Kamilah sipped her wine, not slightly concerned.

The movie pasted forward, pausing and playing, as Annie kept trying to solve the problem. Finally, right when the sound of her cumming echoed in the living room, the film stopped. She was blushed and shaking by now. “Why on earth did you put this here?”

“I would never imagine you to choose The Name of the Rose for our movie nights.” Kamilah shook her shoulders. It didn’t seem to have bothered her at all. “Brother, are you alright?”

Adrian muffled something unintelligible.

“I think the vision of you two half-naked was too much for his heart.” Lily leaned forward to take her glass, lifting the wine at Kamilah's direction like a toast. “Great performance, ma’am.”

The older Vampire winked playfully, a glass on her hands as well. “Thank you, it was indeed one of my best.”

“How is even possible that you’re so calm about this??” Annie was still red of embarrassment, but finally stood up and went to take her place on Kamilah’s lap.

“To be honest, my love…” She involved the girl with one arm, bringing her for a light kiss on the lips that finished with a quick teasing bite. “…I am always proud of each time I make you moan my name.”

Headcanon Part 3

Dress up game...one character...inspired all this...wow. But, I was able to dig up some old “flames” because of this, so it’s all good.

Previous “Headcanons”:

https://nidhoggssoultrap.tumblr.com/post/190581277697/headcanonsvingettessnippets-part-2

1. Since I have a special fondness for Camaros, I decided that Nidhogg will be driving that. A powerful black one that is a blast to drive. >:) My biases are showing, I know.

2. My "adaptation" is a cross over with Ultima. This is a very old series that has been an inspiration for years. Want an old school RPG to play? Try the Ultima series. The NES port of Ultima IV, Quest of the Avatar is excellent. But, the PC versions are better with Ultima 7 being considered the best and unfortunately going downhill from there. Still, it is an amazing old school series that is worth checking out and they are either free or low cost. Anyway, the Blood Curse problem is solved by instituting a "Virtue System" with Louie as one of the "Avatars", a shining example of virtue. Yvette will be one too as will quite a few others. The "True King" used to be like this, but because of his curse, he lost all virtue and is no longer an Avatar.

Nidhogg had NO idea that Louie was such a thing. No one did until he revealed it after the fight. Nidhogg had been trying for another power and as stated in the second batch of headcanon, he failed. Because of this, he is hit with a second curse, one that is not only painful, but scarring. Unlike the Blood Curse, only an Avatar can alleviate the pain once it flares up and there is no way to free someone from such a curse.

The "Fail Curse" basically means that you must follow the path of the Avatar and live in service to them. Failure to do so means being burned alive. Since Nidhogg isn't stupid or interested in killing himself(he did, however, consider it), he follows that path. The scarring goes from the heart and covers the upper left side of the body, except for the neck, face, and private parts(think heart attack area and that's generally where the scarring is). Still, having such scarring puts someone at a disadvantage in styling contests. The "Scarring" is the term I will be using in my "headcanon".

3. Remember the "He can't keep getting away with this!" Yvette says about Nidhogg? She tells Louie this and he point blank says, "he's not going to." This one came up recently, but I'm going to roll with it. It's based on something that apparently happens in a new Yvette Dreamweaver. After the death of Lunar, Louie decides to pay her a visit in Lillith due to their mutual connection to Nidhogg. She's seen Louie before in Apple(first while he was on his motorcycle and second at a restaurant bar) and thought he was "gorgeous." She considered the woman he loved "a very lucky woman". Nidhogg was NOT happy with this, but he acted like it was "no big deal". Anyway, Yvette and Louie tell each other about themselves a bit and he reveals that not everything about the Prime Minister is false, but does confirm that the Colonel is the "genuine article". Yvette is sorry about Lunar's death and, of course, so is Louie. They agree to work together to stop Nidhogg. This would happen while Nikki and Kimi are in Apple dealing with Reid.

4. Speaking of beach theme in the last headcanon, Nidhogg's idea of "beach theme" is a t-short and boxer shorts. That's it. He's the same way with the Pajama theme.

5. I have another bunny involving Louie taking advantage of Nidhogg's love for him. It's basically a plot to steal back the White Blossom. It's a "date" that ends in "bedtime" and well, Louie succeeds in stealing the White Blossom. Needless to say, Nidhogg is well...displeased at being so used. It does not end for either one of them as they fight at the grave of Louie's father. Yea, mean bunny. I get those sometimes.

6. Nidhogg's parents were high ranking NCOs in the military. His father(I named Liam) was a "King of Cups" sort while his mother(Madam Zosha) was a "Queen of Wands." If one had to choose, it's agreed that Nidhogg took after his father and became "The Page of Swords" and ultimately "The King of Swords." He loved his parents very much and was present when they died. Liam died the same way Micheal Collins did(shot while going between cars). Zosha died soon afterward trying to avenge him. This is quite possibly his most painful memory and won't likely be surpassed. He was eight years old. He lived for two years on his own before being discovered in Black Rock City by Louie's father. Yea, Nidhogg knows some hardship and knows how it feels to watch someone being accused of things they did not do (Liam was falsely accused of treason) and lose everything because of it.

7. Nidhogg learned to drive when he was 13. Self-taught on a manual shift jeep. He stalled only once, decided that it would never happen again and it didn't(that is, until the very end of the chase when Yvette finally fights back). He was a few years older when he learned to fly, but was quickly surpassed by Louie. However, as stated in previous headcanons, Nidhogg is a better driver.

8. There are four "loopholes" around the Blood Curse: 1. Medicines(Regent 7), 2. Inability to feel pain. 3. The ability to feel pain and pleasure as one. 4. Immune/Highly Resistant to curses. Louie becomes the 4th one due to Avatarhood.

9. It should have gone without saying that Nidhogg is a loner(which was why he was happy that Louie was similar). In fact, Shade was shocked that he would continue desiring Louie. Shade had assumed that Nidhogg didn't need anyone. Nidhogg's response? "Who said anything about need?" A lot of my favorite characters are like this.

10. Confession Bear: While thinking of the car chase story, I kind of laughed at the fact that there are two grown men embroiled in "gay drama" in front of a young woman, two teenage girls, and a talking cat. In the end, pretty much everyone knew what went on between Louie and Nidhogg, not something either of them wanted much.

11. In Headcanon 2, I made it clear that Louie was blinded by hate/rage. Because of this, some of his actions were a bit unbecoming of an avatar(this Ultima, this happens too. The point is that things can get complicated and being virtuous doesn't always work). Like: twisting and turning Nidhogg's words until it suited his purpose, ascribing words/actions to Nidhogg that he didn't actually say/do, using Nidhogg's actual words against him, and well, subterfuge. Louie succeeds in getting a good number of people to defect, but they end up siding with ORLANDO. Either way, League Tyr suffers losses because of it. Part of the reason Louie acted the way he did was due to desperation, but also the rage he felt toward Nidhogg, but it wasn't pure rage as he still loved his elder "brother"/friend.

At the end of their final duel, Louie strips him of his cape, his medals, and his weapons. He tells the girls, "If you have any last words to say to him, say them now because it'll be awhile before you ever see him again, if ever." He also uses Nidhogg's quote about fate against him("This is your fate"). All of this was done while Nidhogg suffered greatly under the "Fail Curse." Louie could have alleviated the pain while before banishing him, but deliberately chose not to.

He's also said this(when Morrison/Grey Raven was captured): "The opinions of others mattered little to your parents. Where are they now?" Er, yea...lowblow. Nidhogg's response? A raised eyebrow and he continued his argument as if Louie had said nothing of the sort and was STILL trying to persuade him to join the Night Order.

During the "chase" he finally does get to Nidhogg when he basically says, "The freedom you will bring is false!" And even worse, "I wish you had died as a child, buried in the snow with no one to give a damn about you. Then, I would have never known you and I wouldn't be cursed with the memories of you!"

He says a lot more, but that's the gist of it. Had it been anyone else, it would have the effect of a sneeze in a tornado, but because it was Louie, it, well, got to Nidhogg in ways no one else was able to. Yvette and Nikki simply angered/irritated him. Louie...well...made him cry. Er, sort of. I mean, this is Nidhogg, after all. At that point, Nidhogg basically says "you never understood me, you never really tried" and makes a declaration that sends Louie in tears. Soon after that, Nidhogg tells all of them that there is no use arguing anymore because "you will never agree with me and I will never agree with you, so that makes things rather moot, now doesn't it?" When Louie offers a reconciliation, Nidhogg says that it's "too late now."

In the end, Louie regrets all off of it because he knew that Nikki was right: It was needless cruelty. He was also reprimanded by the Seer of the Avatar, who said the same thing and that vengeance had no place for an Avatar. Later on, Nidhogg tells him that he would have never been so cruel had the situation been reversed.

12. Of all those in the Night Order, only Nidhogg faced any real consequences. It was decided that being "Scarred" was punishment enough. Plot twist: He was set up by Ryan all along and Ryan was the one who finally inspired Yvette to become her own White Knight. Remember Ryan?

13. That power Nidhogg so desperately wanted and needed Yvette in order to obtain it? It would have destroyed him completely as his mindset was a bit "reversed" at the time. So really, Yvette and co. saved him and his soul.

14. Nidhogg, imo, is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. If he's poor, he's jealous. If he's rich, then he's a hypocrite. If he's straightforward, he's an asshole. If he sugercoats, then he's a liar. He learned early on not to give a damn what others think for this reason as his parents went through the same thing.

15. The issue is that there was only one way to settle disputes. So, the stylings contests were something that seemed freeing, but it wasn't. It was a sugar coated tyranny. Such a thing created internal turmoil, hence "false peace."

16. Confession Bear: My first impression of him in his uniform other than "OMG HAAAWWWWT" was "OMG FASCIST!" But, then I looked up the Iron Cross and found that it predates any thought of Fascism/Nazism by about 200 years.

17. Nidhogg KNEW that there would be chaos. "Of course there would be chaos! Did you think I wouldn't know that!? But from chaos will come a new order and it will be under my firm, guiding hand!"

18. Yvette looked at all the gifts Nidhogg had given her after all that had happened. While keeping a low profile in Lillith, she wondered how much contempt/disdain/hate he actually had for her. It wasn't the first time she had such "friends", but Nidhogg's deceit hurt her the most. She found that people being honest with where she stood with them was far more preferable. She thought of throwing the gifts away, but Kiki told her that the gifts didn't do anything, so she shouldn't. Yvette chose not to. She also remembered the "I like me speech" and that she had true friends.

19. Liliana(this is the 'artist' in my fic) works as a cleaner/maid in the capital building. She is a friend of Bobo and ultimately Yvette. She draws all sorts of things, including designs. Nidhogg actually used one of her drawings to make Bunny Stockings ("That's not his style.") Unlike the thief, he gives her credit and thanks her for being able to look at her sketches. After the coup, she thinks that he may have been looking at her sketchbook/photo album to see what she knows.

20. Nidhogg has a "take all you want, but eat what you take" attitude when it comes to food. This is from the military.

Here we are in the future and I’m fine (Steven Universe Future premiere thoughts)

Well, it came and went, and....yeah, I enjoyed it! I went in cautiously, not sure how well it would hold up compared to the high bar set by the movie, and while it didn’t reach those heights, it did impress me!

Here are my thoughts on every episode. Spoiler alert!

First off, turns out all that freaking out was for nothing....Spinel didn’t show up at ALL (she wasn’t even MENTIONED), and I still managed to enjoy myself despite that. I do miss her, yeah, but it felt like I was watching the same great show again. There was no fangirling from me, but I’m cool with that for now. I’d like to see her again at SOME point....even if she’s not gonna be the same as she was in the movie....but there’s gonna be a lot of time for that later.

(And all these episodes took place mostly on Earth, so it’s not like her absence was an anomaly or anything.)

Little Homeschool: Mostly exposition, nothing really special aside from the Steven vs. Jasper fight. I’m happy we got this much Jasper after so long without her, and I like how she’s portrayed here. She’s obviously not a villain anymore, but she’s still very much HER and very much not playing nice. I like how the episode doesn’t end with Steven befriending her, but instead paving the way for that to happen in the future. She’s just gotta cool down first. And then there’s violent Steven. Hoo BOY did he up his fighting skills!

Guidance: This episode was so flipping FUNNY! XD Steven actually making things worse is something we don’t get often, and if it leads to stuff like this, I welcome it! I can’t even recall everything I laughed at, but let’s count a few of them:

-That iceberg Gem and her obsession with human screams. O.o And how she finds out that she likes making people laugh because laughter sounds like screams. Um, Monsters Inc. flashbacks!

-That flipping fourth wall gag with Steven proclaiming the problem solved, the crossfade starting, and then it reversing when things start going bad right afterwards. XD I died

-Pretty much everything from Smoky. “You guys OK?” *guys in plane don’t respond, just look terrified* “....Good.”

-Smoky becoming like flipping Quicksilver and slowing time down

-They literally used the line “Gotta go faster”

-”Sometimes you save all the people but the rollercoaster still crashes into the ocean” as they look on dramatically

All in all a very entertaining episode! Also, can’t go wrong with a Nephrite cameo!

Rose Buds: WELL THIS WAS AWKWARD. That’s mostly how I felt throughout it. I’m happy we saw the Famethyst again. I’m happy we saw Holly Blue Agate again. But geez, this story just really makes you feel bad for everyone involved...Steven TRIES to be nice to the Roses but there’s one that literally looks JUST LIKE HIS MOM (except a bit darker) and UGH....and THEY’RE trying to be nice to HIM but they know how they were made....I’m happy they spilled out their feelings in the end though. And I like the Rose Quartz trio a lot. The really energetic one (I called her Genki Rose in Discord, but I’m not sure how many people know what “genki” means) is really cute, she’s my favorite. The calm, straight-haired one (who I called Zen Rose) is pretty cool too. And finally, Greg was funny.

Volleyball: I’m pretty sure this episode will be near unanimously declared the best of the four, and I agree. I’ve WANTED to like Pink Pearl (Volleyball) for a while, since she had a lot of potential, but I didn’t wanna get ahead of myself (also, well....as much as I hate to admit it, jealousy was at play too, due to how the fandom treated her) and HOO BOY did this episode deliver on that! As a foil for Pearl, she’s GREAT. They were with Rose/Pink at different stages of her life - Volleyball belonged to the bratty Pink who threw fits when she didn’t get her way, and that’s how she was broken. In that vain, you gotta wonder if White thought she was doing the right thing, kinda like punishing a child for breaking their toy, in her messed-up White way....*shiver* And Volleyball acts really defensive of the incident, like “It’s OK, she always did that!” And then OUR Pearl belonged to the Pink who matured and grew after becoming Rose, who kept secrets instead of throwing fits. So SHE doesn’t believe that she’d do something like that, because that wasn’t how SHE knew her. The episode resolves when both Pearls fuse and get the “full picture”, if you will. I LOVE their interactions SO much, to the point where I’m almost considering shipping them? If not that, then calling them sisters. Volleyball is still very much stuck in the past (you would be too after losing so many years of memory) so she’s got some things to work out. But Pearl can help her with that. On that note, their fusion is really pretty. I dunno what her name would be, since she’s a fusion of two of the same Gem, so would she still be Pearl? I dunno....I’ll think of something to call her. Point is, I love her design. She’s gorgeous.

Also, Steven’s breakdown in this episode was flipping heartbreaking. When he says that he doesn’t wanna hear about any more bad things his mom has done, ugh, you just wanna hug him....

One last note, and this is probably something that just bugs me and no one else: How did the Pearls get to Earth? Did the Diamonds just....disown them and drop them off to be independent? We saw Yellow Pearl and Blue Pearl in the movie, on Homeworld, and they were very clearly enjoying their jobs! So I didn’t think they’d WANT to leave! Plus, it’s not like every single Gem is moving to Earth, right? There’s gotta be a lot of them on Homeworld still....That means the Diamonds still have a kingdom to watch over, so their Pearls weren’t necessarily out of a job....whatever, I just wish we got more clarification on that. (Plus, I miiiiiight be a little salty at not giving Spinel ANYONE to interact with in the palace besides the Diamonds, and also I may or may not have been toying with the idea of villain Spinel with Yoopie and Bloopie as henchmen for one of my AUs and there won’t be any canon interactions to go off of for that now....*cough*)

So overall, I’m very much content with these episodes! The order I liked them goes:

1. Volleyball 2. Guidance 3. Rose Buds 4. Little Homeschool

I’m looking forward to future episodes! This is a very strong beginning of the end, and I hope the rest of the season doesn’t let me down! ^^

#su future spoilers #i might make mini reviews of all episodes like this

BnHA Chapter 040: Deku VS Todoroki (Conclusion)

Previously on BnHA: Oh god. Shouto flashed back repeatedly to his horrific childhood. Deku decimated basically his entire body in his quest to get Todoroki to finally use his left side. Like, he literally chose the most perverse and insane possible way to do this. For reasons I can’t begin to fathom, none of the adults bothered to intervene in this bloodbath. My god it pissed me off so much. Anyway, Todoroki finally did realize that his power is his own and he can use it without it automatically meaning that he’s giving in to his evil father. It made him very happy and was a very powerful moment tbh. BUT AT WHAT COST.

Today on BnHA: Deku and Todoroki nearly blow up the stadium and each other before the U.A. faculty FINALLY steps in. Deku is blown out of bounds and the fight ends. Endeavor is all, YESSSSS, JOIN ME AND TOGETHER WE CAN RULE THE GALAXY AS FATHER AND SON but Shouto is just, WHATEVER, I DON’T EVEN CARE ABOUT YOU and it’s the best. All Might and Deku have an emotional moment in the nurse’s office while Recovery Girl is just like, “smdh.” Basically the manga shyly offers me an apology and a bouquet of flowers for putting me through all of that bullshit in the last chapter, and LIKE A FOOL I fall for it hook, line and sinker.

(As always, all comments not marked with an ETA are my unspoiled reactions from my first readthrough of this chapter. I’ve read up through chapter 94 now, so any ETAs will reflect that.)

so here we are at chapter 40. officially about 20% of the way through the story so far. a lot has happened! Deku has learned to control his powers! somehow it’s made absolutely no difference in terms of how frequently he’s been gravely injured! in fact if anything it’s all gotten much, much worse!

oh my god Endeavor is jumping up in the stands and fucking SCREAMING about how Shouto’s finally accepted his blood and now he can finally fulfill his (Endeavor’s) ambitions

someone push him down these stairs

oh my god the chapter is titled “Emancipation.” lol I assume it’s metaphorical, but what I wouldn’t fucking give for Shouto to somehow legally tell his dad to just fuck off forever

Mic calls Endeavor a “doting parent.” that’s... a take. possibly the most ironic fucking thing anyone has ever said

Aizawa seems to know a little bit more about Shouto’s history with his dad though, since he’s thinking to himself that they’re not on good terms. but maybe he just figured that out from Shouto’s insistence on not using his left side

Todoroki is completely thawed out now and on fucking fire and Deku is grinning and Shouto asks him what the fuck he’s smiling about lol. he’s smiling because he helped you, silly! but yes you’re right he is totally fucking screwed

can we get this match ended at last please?? can we get a fucking mercy rule implemented into this fucking tournament

please help me out here, U.A. as unfathomably badass as Todoroki is at full power, I really don’t want to sit through another whole fucking chapter of Deku doing insane things he really shouldn’t be able to do

you know what I would enjoy, though? a quick cut to show how the villains are reacting to all of this. or Deku’s mom, for that matter! assuming she hasn’t passed out or anything. but even if she did, she said she was recording it, so

(ETA: lol are you guys sick of me speculating about Deku’s mom every five paragraphs yet)

DEKU YOUR SECRET IS FUCKING OUT NOW. IT’S WHAT YOU DESERVE, QUITE HONESTLY

and finally Cementoss is springing into action. JESUS CHRIST. TAKE YOUR TIME WHY DON’T YOU. honestly, both he and Midnight -- and really the entire faculty -- are lucky if they’re not charged with child endangerment after all of this

(ETA: well I’m glad U.A.’s student safety record does actually become a plot point later. but slightly annoyed that no one had any problem with this particular spectacle and that it only became an issue after the second villain attack)

having no self-preservation instincts isn’t a fucking superpower and it isn’t something children should be aspiring to

fucking look at these idiots

DON’T EXPECT A ROUND OF APPLAUSE FROM ME NOW, CEMENTOSS

jesus there was like a fucking shockwave. that was all Deku, I’m sure. the giant fire tornado erupting from the stadium is all Todoroki, though!

I’m pretty sure everyone in the stadium just collectively shat their pants

lol forever if a single one of the heroes in the stands even thinks about having the audacity to think they could ever claim either of these two as a sidekick after this. no matter who it is, THEY’RE THE ONES WHO WOULD BE THE FUCKING SIDEKICK

fucking I don’t even know, Mic

so who fucking won. was it a tie?

there’s so much fucking steam from all of the suddenly-melted ice

that shit should be scalding Deku and Shouto both. but we’ve long since torpedoed past the boundaries of realism within this particular fight

there’s a panel of Deku’s shoe but not showing the rest of him...

HE’S OUT OF BOUNDS. OH MY GOD. PRAISE ALL MIGHT. FUCKING FINALLY THIS FIGHT IS FUCKING OVER

so Todoroki moves on to round three

no matter who wins in the Shiozaki/Iida match, they should just fucking forfeit afterward lmao

the audience can’t understand what Deku’s strategy was. there’s no point in trying to understand it, he was basically just trying to make his friend feel better to the point that he became near-suicidal in that pursuit

still, would anyone in this crowd actually want to fuck with him after witnessing that??

YOU DON’T COUNT

lol do you still want these two as your rivals though. and Deku went and made your job even harder for you

and he overheard that conversation earlier, so he understands the significance of what just went down better than anyone else in this audience

oh look, Shouto is being confronted by a walking piece of flaming shit. what an interesting sight

he says Shouto is finally ready to replace him. fucking get over yourself. I’m trying to think of truly awful things to compare you to but I’m so mad I can’t even come up with any

but he seems to think that this means Shouto is done “rebelling” and has anyone ever been so wrong before I wonder

FUCKING YESS

YESSSS RIGHT IN HIS PRIDE

AND NOW HE’S WALKING AWAY

SHOUTO STAY RIGHT THERE!! I’M COMING AROUND!! GOT A BIG HIGH FIVE WITH YOUR NAME ON IT

aaaaand the nurse’s office again!!

so just how dead is Deku this time

shit

shit. I hope they maxed out his painkillers, this poor stupid fucking kid

WHAT ARE YOU PEOPLE GOING TO TELL HIS MOTHER GODDAMMIT

and okay but, can you please stop putting it on All Might though. yes he put pressure on Deku, but Deku’s inner fire has like a psychotic edge to it that even he couldn’t have ever anticipated. All Might told him to go out there with a smile, not screaming like a madman and methodically breaking all of his bones one by one

also, he didn’t anticipate Shouto’s involvement in all this and just how far Deku would go for him

which, by the way, I know there’s a sizable chunk of the fandom that ships TodoDeku (or really it’d probably be the other way round wouldn’t it), and like, it’s hard not to see why. you know I’m all about that BakuDeku ship, but Deku clearly has a lot of love to go around. lots of terrifying, violent love

anyway, the point is this wasn’t All Might’s doing. he’s not fucking Dumbledore manipulating the poor kid left and right. he’s still new to being a mentor and he vastly underestimated his protege’s propensity for getting himself deep into the shit

Recovery Girl says All Might better not praise him for what he did. okay, yeah, that I can 100% agree with. it wasn’t healthy or sane or smart by any stretch, and it accomplished absolutely nothing that a couple of sessions with a halfway decent therapist couldn’t have done. though from what I’ve seen, I’m not sure if this school believes in things like therapists

and here comes the fam

oh shit I just realized All Might is still in Skinny Steve form

-- DEKU IS CONSCIOUS???!

HELLO NICE TO MEET YOU

DEKU IS FUCKING CONSCIOUS THOUGH??!

I HOPE HE’S DOPED UP TO THE NINES

apparently they took a break to repair the arena

this piece of shit is expressing an opinion I happen to agree with. it happens

but that’s okay because Deku doesn’t need to be some stupid shitty so-called pro’s shitty sidekick. I hate like 90 percent of the pros outside of the U.A. faculty anyway

well. but Best Jeanist though...

now Recovery Girl is chasing them all out and saying he’s about to have surgery

they’re all like “SURGERY?!” YES, SURGERY. WERE YOU NOT WATCHING THE SAME FIGHT THAT I WAS

sdlfkhl damn it and Deku’s apologizing now

he’s so fucking out of it, I can’t be mad at him even though I was so fucking mad at him!!! you idiot!!

All Might, hey, hold it. wait up. dude. you don’t get openly emotional and you never have up till this point so don’t start now when it’s so late and I’m not prepared. if you lose it even the slightest degree I will literally be a mess

and now All Might is realizing Deku was trying to get Todoroki to get over his hangups

and Deku’s saying yes, because “it was just too sad...”

does All Might know what he’s talking about? he can probably guess some of it, but he doesn’t know just how bad it was with Todoroki and Endeavor

Deku says he tried to mind his own business, but he couldn’t take it

“it was so frustrating.” kid, I 100% agree. but like, you and I have different approaches to solving problems like this oh my god

anyways so he completely forgot about his goal of winning the tournament and “lost himself”

well at least this exonerates All Might from having had anything to do with this outcome. just in case he was prepared to blame himself

Deku hasn’t cried once during any of this, incidentally. is he just too exhausted

he needs huuuuuuugs. surgery and then hugs!!

you know what could have changed what happened. literally anyone intervening at any point before the match actually ended

ooooh just like that I’m starting to get mad all over again lol. but not at you, All Might. and not at Deku, who was clearly out of his mind, just totally off the rails with his psychotic good intentions

“however, giving help that’s not asked for... is part of what makes a true hero.” awww ;_;

look, again, I don’t deny that Shouto needed help in some shape or form

and I guess all’s well that ends... sort of... okay

just. wow, what a fucking outcome. what a train wreck of a battle. that was something, all right

“Midoriya Izuku... finished in the top eight”

and the chapter ends

bonus

looks like we’re done with character profiles for the time being! NOW IT’S COSTUME COMMENTARY OH GOODY :D :D :D

how much of this did Bakugou design himself, I wonder? he probably just explained how his quirk worked and what he wanted the gauntlet thing to do and that he wanted it to look cool (by his weird definition of cool)

I really love Bakugou’s quirk. I don’t know if I’ve said this. but it’s probably my second or third favorite, after Ochako’s and possibly Aizawa’s. just something about explosions. I’ve been a Gokudera fangirl for too long lol. and I also love his fighting style and his blasting all over the place

look at the thought that went into even the fucking grenade pin design

Bakugou can fucking blow shit up with his knees?? holy shit. I thought those were just weird Mad Max style knee pads lmao

(ETA: I think maybe by “kill with his knees” they just mean he could like. crush some poor dude or something. just bludgeon them or some shit. how violent)

and he can put his explosive sweat into the grenades on his belt too. “what’s the point?” well, you never know. plus it looks cool to have the grenades there on his belt

“all in all: heartless” this guy never stops shitting on my favorite character lol

#bnha #boku no hero academia #makeste reads bnha #midoriya izuku #todoroki shouto #endeavor #all might #bakugou katsuki #I forgot all about bakugou's knee pads #fucking kill somebody with your knees already bakugou #are you just going to leave us all hanging or what

Hi this is not meant as hate but what is it exactly that yiu liek about Revolver/ryoken? He's basically as bad as yami marik in dm the way he treated Ghost Girl

His good looks.

Okay but in all seriousness random anon, there are a lot of reasons why I like Revolver as much as I do, but I would like to address your statement about Yami Malik, which I can only assume is about his duel with Mai? Since you mention Ghost Girl’s duel with Revolver? Because if it is, I would say that the difference between those duels is like night and day.

Yami Malik’s only goal is to create as much darkness and chaos he possibly can, for the sake of fun (remember he has the mindset of a really angry and psychotic ten-year-old). His duel with Mai was his first chance at being as sadistic as he wanted, and he went full out. He kept degrading her throughout the duel, manipulated her, took away her memories, tortured her without giving her any chance of escaping and was more than willing to kill her off permanently. All because it amused him.

Now, what does Revolver do to Ghost Girl?

dorky idiot

He duels her just like he duels everyone; calculating and ruthless. He’s always several steps ahead and fools his opponent into thinking they have the upper hand before crushing them completely unless the opponent thinks several steps ahead as well. Nothing more and nothing less.

Ghost Girl does end up losing with not so pleasant consequences, but she did have a fair chance to escape the situation throughout the whole duel. All she had to do was win (and without being too biased, Revolver would definitely have kept his promise and let her go, she probably wouldn’t have been able to do much about the data she found anyway). And while she was aware of what a loss meant, she also knew that unless Revolver was stopped it wouldn’t have been permanent. I.e. there was still a chance for her to come back. If Revolver hadn’t been stopped… well, she would’ve been a victim amongst so many others, and it wouldn’t have been anything personal against her.

Mai? Not so much. Had Yami Malik not been hindered by Jounouchi and Yami, she would’ve been gone for real and Yami Malik made it perfectly clear. Everything he does is to be as cruel towards her as possible. It’s true that she as well had a fair chance of escaping by winning, but throughout the duel, it just got harder and harder to see the possibility of it, especially with all the mental and physical torment that happened around her. And it certainly doesn’t help that she still was on the brink of dying for real afterwards.

The only thing really that Mai and Ghost Girl have in common is that they didn’t have much of a choice in whether they could decline their duels or not. But when Mai gets the worst treatment I’ve ever seen any YGO-girl get in this franchise (until proven otherwise by the spinoffs, I’m gonna go with that statement), Ghost Girl is treated like any other duelist. Revolver looks down on her abilities true, but he looks down on anyone who isn’t Playmaker. And Ghost Girl wouldn’t have been in that situation at all if she hadn’t been snooping around and Revolver caught her doing so (she couldn’t really know what she would find so it’s not like she can be blamed).

Now, I’m not using that as excuses for Revolver’s crimes and actions. But it’s unfair to compare him to Yami Malik when he, while still wrong, has a detailed plan to execute for the sake of humanity’s future. It’s basically “chaos for fun” vs. “the end justifies the means”, and that’s not even close to being the same thing.

This post is already long enough so I’ll try to keep it shorter to why I like Revolver/Ryouken, especially since I’ve reblogged a lot of posts already about him.

Short answer: He intrigues me.

Longer answer: I would like to follow a statement that Revolver is one of the most complex characters Vrains have, and that complexity attracts me in many ways.

Guilt is definitely the word that describes Ryouken the best, but not because he’s guilty of crimes, but rather what came out of his childhood. He’s always been his father’s loyal son and was way too young to understand the fault in luring 1 child (and most likely the other 5 as well) for his father’s experiment. He only did was he was being told to do. That is the first tragic seeds to the all too high amount of guilt in the present. Yuusaku believes that Ryouken righted that wrong for him personally by being his voice of hope and show a very compassionate side, but Ryouken certainly doesn’t see it that way. And why would he? He’s the culprit, why would being a comforting voice redeem him in any way? And why would that compassionate side still exist in the present? (hint: it does, he’s just completely convinced it doesn’t and doesn’t recognize when he shows it)

I’m using a more correct translation for this screencap

Reporting the incident to the authorities didn’t help with that guilt either since it only took his father away from him, filling him with even more. A guilt that couldn’t possibly get any worse but still was when Kougami returned in comatose. He turned into his father’s loyal soldier at a way too young age and was completely solidified with all the toxic ideas Kougami had while seemingly not caring about if Kougami was even a good father for him or not. And it’s not like Kougami ever cared.

(IhatehimIhatehimIhatehimIhatehim)

So what would even more guilt matter if he was to commit the worst cybercrime in history? Or rather, wouldn’t the guilt for that be easier to endure than the guilt he has for betraying his father? Wouldn’t the Tower of Hanoi be a great enough thing to right that wrong? Probably not and that makes it even sadder.

The biggest tragedy though is how everyone in the show except for Yuusaku forgets/doesn’t care that Ryouken is a traumatized victim as well, even Ryouken himself. Making him pay for his crimes by judicial means will never be enough for anyone involved and wouldn’t solve anything either. And Ryouken has to not only realise this himself but also choose a path from the self-destruction all his failures have caused, and if he needs help with it (which he definitely does), Yuusaku is the first in line to save him. Yuusaku lives for that goal, and I share the hopes of it with him. Revolver can be redeemed, and the only thing that can prevent that is time running out (or the writers screwing us all over).

Ryouken’s journey of guilt tugs at my heartstrings and is a story I want and can invest in because I ultimately wish for something better for him. And while it’s infuriating to see little to no progress, it’s also enough for a kind of slow burn that we hate and love and can’t stop following.

On top of all that guilt and tragedy is a cunning and unpredictable duelist. Now, I’m no expert at the card game (I would def call myself a mediocre duelist at most), but Revolver’s deck is the most exciting and still understandable one for me since Kaiba (I’m still not convinced with any other rival/antagonist in the other spinoffs). And just like Kaiba, he’s still an enjoyable overconfident dork.

I must confess though that I’ve never been able to take his Sniffer Dragons seriously (I blame Shunsuke-san for that).

If that wasn’t enough, he’s also an entertaining idiot with overdramatic poses and moves á la JJBA as well as having the stupidest ace card (I’m still angry in a weird enjoyable way about Mirror Force). You can pose him like a JJBA character and make him fit right in, just as much as you can take his poses and apply them to any JJBA character with little to no difference.

yes, very terrifying, or not

This still turned longer than I wanted so for that I’m sorry. And believe me, I can still talk way more about Revolver but others have done it well enough already.

To sum it up a little, Ryouken/Revolver is a multi-layered character and a very unique antagonist for this franchise, and I enjoy it a LOT!

And… well… he being handsome as fuck irl doesn’t help either, but that’s for another time.

Fic, A Creative Problem

I’m combining several prompts I got into one fic. Princey going missing, nightmares, and Prince getting injured. And some things I just really like writing about. Angst ahead.

Warnings: Body horror, injury, nightmares. As usual let me know if more warnings are needed. 1,825 words.

Abstract: A darker vision of what Prince Roman’s problems might look like.

Thomas is sitting on the edge of something.

Something.

Now he’s falling. Now he’s not. Now he’s falling again. Now he’s standing.

It’s just a dream. It’s just a dream.

But it’s still frightening. Nothing is happening. And then something is happening. It’s a nightmare. It’s confusing. That’s what nightmares are.

Something’s coming.

Roman woke up with a jolt as soon as the REM cycle ended. If Logan were here he would probably be saying something about how they didn’t need to breathe and so there was no reason for Roman to be doing it so fast and hard.

He put his hand over his nonexistent heart and breathed. Calmed down. Slowed down. He has no place for this level of fear.

As usual, the others and Thomas wouldn’t remember that. Not since it ended during sleep.

His ears were pounding. They did that sometimes, even though there was technically nothing inside him. Meaning, no heart or circulatory system of any kind.

Roman stood up from where he was sleeping on the ground. His hair remained perfect and his outfit pressed. Doesn’t matter where he is. A prince must be proper.

Where was this now? A dark and spooky forest. How cliche. Yesterday it was a desert.

Well the ground is more stable here. Maybe if he...

He tried sinking out. Nothing. He tried jumping to break something. Still nothing. He tried stabbing a tree. He hadn’t expected that to do anything but it was good for getting the frustration out.

He yanked the samurai sword out of the tree trunk. Not broken. That’s good. He hasn’t been able to conjure anything new since this started. Roman started walking again.

Everything was eerily quiet. A faint buzzing could be heard. That would be the brain cleaning itself out. It was strangely like a cross between an ocean rush and a machine.

Strange. This entire thing was strange. The imaginary friends have disappeared. Thomas hasn’t been talking to them. He hasn’t been thinking of a lot of new things either.

A twig snapped.

Thomas continued to scroll through twitter, not really thinking. That post would make a good short video, but that would be stealing.

“That would be stealing, Logan!” Patton insisted. “Stealing ideas is wrong.”

“Okay, then what do you suggest that we do?” Logic asked. “Roman has been missing for two full days and Anxiety is beginning to speak up about the lack of content. Thomas has been solving small non obvious problems. Roman is obviously still connected but nothing is getting done. What should we do?”

“A... misleading compliment?” Morality suggested.

“Overdone” came a voice.

It was Virgil, who had appeared on the staircase and was now walking towards where the others and Thomas were sitting.

“We’re not on vine anymore. It’s too much like his old branding.” He said.

“But everyone loves misleading compliments.” Patton whined.

“Morality, can you even think of a misleading compliment at the moment?” Logan asked.

“Uh... no, actually.” Morality confessed.

“Roman is preoccupied.” Logan reminded him. “And stop making him scroll through twitter!”

He swatted Patton’s hand away and Thomas forced himself away from the internet and opened a word document.

“Video. Video...” he mumbled to himself.

Nothing came.

The prince was running now. He wasn’t thinking quite clearly enough to keep track of his appearance. Somewhere along the way a shifty looking branch had caught on his sash and torn it off. He couldn’t conjure up another one.

There was that sound again. That... scuttling. Walking. Truly, truly disturbing noise.

He stopped running. How long had Thomas been awake now? Four hours? Still time before he takes an afternoon nap. Still time to find a safe place.

The forest canopy was disturbing. Logan might know what type of trees these are. Or maybe they’re imaginary trees. They have black and dark brown bark. Their branches remind him of fingers. Or the forest from Snow White.

It’s the forest from Snow White, but more real.

He slowed down and hid behind a tree, careful not to breathe or let himself make any noises that resembled a heartbeat. Not to get caught up in any illusion of realism. Don’t need to breathe, don’t have a heart, don’t get caught by the...

No, don’t think about that. A prince shouldn’t be frightened.

Even if he wants help sometimes.

“I want a nap.” Patton whined.

“But we haven’t gotten anything done all day.” Virgil reminded him.

“Sleep can help with the creative process. Perhaps we could see if it brings Princey back.” Logic suggested.

“Fine. We are tired.” Anxiety admitted.

“No Thomas, don’t take a nap.” Roman said through gritted teeth.

The sound continued. It sounded like thousands of spiders, but Roman knew what it really was. It just sounded like spiders because that’s just how frightening it was.

“Apollo’s lyre. Why?” he asked. “Why me?”

He ran while he still could.

Thomas dreamed that his teeth were falling out and people kept throwing laptops at him.

The sky was black. And then black and orange.

A failure. Strange. Weird. Nobody likes you.

Roman didn’t care what Logic would think. He was going to hyperventilate if he wanted to. Anyone would if they woke up in a situation like this.

He was trapped inside a box too short to roll over in and too wide to be a coffin. It was smooth like glass but cold like concrete and restraining and dark like crying on the bathroom floor. And he couldn’t break out of it.

Roman pushed against the top with all his might. He tried to shimmy over to a corner but then the sides began closing in.

Not again. Don’t panic. This doesn’t have to happen again.

Roman could hear Thomas’ other thoughts fighting each other. It was impossible to tell for sure who was saying what, but could guess from context clues.

“Never going to think of anything original again.”

“Have deadlines,”

“An audience to keep watching”

“A business to run, have to contact your manager.”

“Nothing right now.”

“Can’t even think of a dad joke right now”

“But what would we put on snapchat?”

“Sounds like him”

They needed him. But he had let himself get caught again. By the creative block. By the words Virgil spun with what Logic called his “silver tongue” and sent to torment the ego.

Words Virgil had said to Thomas years ago that nobody else probably remembered echoed through Roman’s thoughts again and seemed to make the block he was stuck in even smaller.

“Are you really going to let your ego get that fragile?”

Fragile.

Fragile...

The familiar experience never became any less frightening. The unforgiving box closed in so tight that Roman couldn’t even move his arms or bend his knees. Burning hot tears.

Useless. If it’s not original it’s a copy. It’s not... good.

The box closed in even tighter. It began to push at his shoulders to the point where he couldn’t stand the pressure any longer. He stifled a cry as the first crack appeared at the top of where his spine would be.

“This is no good. This is no good. I am... I am having a rough day.” Thomas confessed.

“Yeah...” Patton admitted. “I haven’t been feeling that great, kiddo.”

“It’s Roman.” Virgil said.

“Yes, he’s been missing.” Logan said.

“And I’ve been...” Virgil began.

“If you keep talking bad about yourself...” Patton said.

“Pat, sometimes I cause actual problems. We all do. I’m working on not hating myself or the rest of you, but I think whatever damage is being done to Thomas’ ego right now is mostly my fault.” Anxiety said. “That’s the facts.”

“He’s not wrong.” Logic said.

“It’s my self esteem. And my creative block too, but mostly my self esteem, you guys.” Thomas said.

“Does this mean we have to go find him again?” Logan asked.

“I could go. This is my daydream after all.” Thomas said.

“Nah, it’s weird. Logan and I have to do it.” Anxiety grumbled.

“He’s always really hard to find and never tells us anything afterwards. He just goes on with his dramatics and complains about the state of his clothes.” Logan grumbled.

“Sounds like him.” Thomas said.

Every crack that appeared felt like a broken bone mixed with a stab from a knife. But much drier. There was no blood involved.

His nose broke off like he was a porcelain doll and a small child had just snapped it off. Cracks appeared around Prince Roman’s head, shoulders, and legs. With every new crack a fresh thought wormed away into his consciousness and mixed with the pain like a disturbing mind soup.

The lower part of his right arm broke off. Not the writing hand too.

“Not good enough”

Shut up. He’s the best. The very best.

He thought this to himself over and over. Thomas is great. Roman is the best part of the personality. His looks, his creativity, his singing voice, surely these were Thomas’ best qualities.

But what if they’re not?

Oh, shut up you telltale fart. Nobody cares what you think.

This thought made the block disappear. He was back in his room. He slowly sat up and felt parts of him chipping off. His arm was sitting next to him. He picked it up and looked inside. Then inside the part that was still attached to himself. Hollow, as expected.

He found his nose and held it on his face. The carpet seemed to be getting bits of royal fantasy stuck in it. Yes, it seemed one of his fingers had been ground into sand.

“Well that’s one of the most disturbing thing I’ve ever seen.” came a familiar voice.

“Oh buzz off, Harley Sin, you know you’ve wished worse upon me.” Roman said, finally satisfied his nose had reattached itself.

Logan was there too. He picked up Roman’s right leg, which had apparently become detached without him noticing yet.

“Is this what happens when you go missing?” He asked.

“Usually. Now will you give that leg back? You’re breaking it more.”

“So I am.” said Logan, mildly disgusted as he put it back. “But we’ve been looking for hours. Where were you?”

“I’ve got an idea.” Roman said. “For a misleading compliment. I’m sure Patton will love it.”

Anxiety grabbed Roman’s arm from him.

“Stop changing the subject.” He insisted.

“Thomas has a fragile ego at times. What are you going to do about it?” Roman said. “I’d personally rather you did nothing. Now will you kindly leave so I can put myself back together and get the bits of finger out of the carpet? Hmmm? You know I can’t stand messes.”

The two reluctantly left. By that night it was as if none of it had ever happened. The misleading compliment was posted to social media, friends came over to hang out. Patton tried to baby Roman but was too late.

Some self confidence was back.

Hii! Congrats on 500 followers!!!!

Hellu and thank you Bone daddy!! (͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) and oh movies, have to admit I don’t watch that much movies so I don’t know much about different one’s, or at least not popular one’s unless it’s a Disney movie or something, but I will do my best, will do more of an idea on what kind of movies they would like instead of specific ones, so here goes

Sans:

He does not care much of what he watches, as he usually falls asleep less than half way in, but he do like science fiction movies allot, movies with allot of technology and stuff about space, as he finds them really interesting as it's fun to try to think up if some of those machines and gadgets would be possible to make in real life, his mind running away with ideas but he usually doesn’t get much further than that, though mostly he just finds it interesting what people can come up with.

He at times pretends to fall asleep just to mess with his bro while they watch movies together, then just to suddenly joke or comment on something or toss some popcorn or something else on his bro, making Papyrus jump in surprise and then smack him on the arm because that was not funny brother now don’t interrupt him he’s trying to watch this movie, unlike you you lazybones making Sans chuckle as both of them return to the movie, Sans flipping one last piece of popcorn on Papyrus just because he can.

He also do like watching documentaries, doesn’t really matter what about, documentaries are pretty much the only thing he doesn’t fall asleep to, as he is one big nerd deep down and loves to learn, he also like comedy movies of course.

But anything goes though, he will either fall asleep or sit and toss random puns, jokes and various snacks through out the whole thing anyhow, though he is not that big of a fan of horror though, like he will watch it but he won’t really enjoy it, it’s just not his thing.

And for snacks, pretty much the same as for the movies anything goes, he will dip whatever it is in lots of ketchup though, wether if that is because he likes the taste or just for shits and giggles is anyone’s guess, he do prefer more saltier snacks though like chips and popcorn but won’t say no to something else.

Papyrus:

He absolutely loves watching movies, it’s a great way to bond and spend time with your friends and family, he is very picky with what he watches tho and usually prefers to watch movies he have already watched a dozen times before, he isn’t against watching new things he just have really high standards and just a preference to watch the same things over and over again, especially his MTT shows which he have recorded on a bunch of old VH’s.

He especially like movies when it’s about a hero/heroine/etc on a quest to save the world with their friends, when there is a great evil they need to defeat with a slice of romance, so fantasy movies are a big yes to him, anything with epic journeys in strange worlds where the main character needs to go through trials to grow as a person and find a way to save everyone, movies with knights and medieval things, magic and lot’s of drama and dramatic flair to everything!

Papyrus often gets pretty emotional when watching movies as he gets really into the story and the characters, he gets easily embarrassed and flustered when a character does something embarrassing, making him shout out at the screen while burying his face in a pillow, or if it’s really bad he will quickly excuse himself after asking the others to pause for a bit alongside a bad excuse and either jump out of the nearest window or rush out into another room to shout out his embarrassment, like no why did they do that no, just no WHY?! then he will calmly as if nothing happened return to his seat, saying they can turn it back on now.

Undyne has introduced him to anime and he absolutely loves it, especially love ghibli movies they are right up his alley, he have also ended up watching some old Disney and dreamworks movies which he also love to watch, he have ended up crying a bunch of times thanks to them which he insist he isn’t he just got something in his eye, as he sniffles loudly and cries harder, why couldn’t the fox and the hound stay friends for?! Sans giving him some pats on his shoulder with a there there, and then he makes a pun making Papyrus snort and then toss a pillow at him because brother no do not ruin this extremely sad and emotional moment of the movie with your puns!

He also of course likes watching movies where there are puzzles and you have to think and try to solve stuff, might not be movies but he do love gaming shows where you have to answer stuff and figure things out etc.

He like Sans is not big on horror movies, as they end up making him extremely jumpy for days afterwards and he just do not like them, at all, but he will insist on watching them if it is suggested, as there is no way the great Papyrus is scared!

And when it comes to snacks, he of course insist on having all different kinds while he watches movies for the ultimate movie watching experience, he usually forget to eat any of them though as he usually gets so engrossed in the movie he’s watching, he does not have that big of a sweet tooth tho so if he do eat anything it’s probably some chips or popcorn, though he do like his popcorn very buttery tho.

Red:

Really old and shitty horror movies is his jam, the worse they are the better he likes them, he doesn’t watch much movies but when he do he is all about the bad horror, or just horror in general, as he can’t stop himself from laughing really loudly at how stupid people are or how bad the plot and everything is, making anyone else who watches with him glare at him and wishing for him to shut the fuck up, and will tell him so if they know him well enough not to be scared shitless of him, Edge will smack him for him to shut up if he is there watching which he most likely is.

He will point out inaccuracies in how the various people are killed with a wide smirk, telling in way too much gory detail how to do it properly just to make people uncomfortable for shits and giggles, Edge if he is around will once again smack him because please just shut the fuck up no one wants to hear it god damn it.

Red also loves watching really dark comedy movies, something like “happy three friends” or something like it, just really dark, horrible, and extremely offensive comedies is something he loves to watch.

Though he isn’t that picky with what he watches, something he refuses to watch though is anything involving science, or at least when it’s allot of science going on at least, as he detest science so damn much thanks to his past, anything science brings up too many bad memories he does not want to remember, that he will immediately gets pissed and either he will immediately leave or insist that they change movies because otherwise he is fucking leaving, it has happened that he have destroyed the tv with a bone attack when something sciency has appeared on it, mostly without thinking like a damn reflex, he tries not to react like that after the last time when he got scolded af by Edge, they might be very well off nowadays but tvs are still very expensive!

If watching movies with Edge, which he most likely is, he will be sitting with his phone and randomly take photos of his bro through out the movie, as he always need more photos of his baby bro so he can show the world what a fantastic and cute brother he has, which will fluster Edge to no end because Brother stop it why are you like this why can’t you just watch the god damn movie in peace and stop been so weird?

Red just like Sans also at times falls asleep while watching movies, not as often as Sans does though, Red prefers to stay awake but at times pretends to fall asleep just to mess around, making extremely loud snore noises and when people least expect it shouts out a “BUH!” or something else when people least expects it scaring the shit out of them and him then ending up in a laughing fit at their reactions.

When it comes to snacks, anything goes he will sit there and pop his mouth full with various chips and candy at the same time chewing as loudly as possible just to piss people off, just been disgusting and getting shit all over himself, unless he is wearing his jacket, then he is not spilling anything at all, as he got the jacket from Edge so he treasures it hella lot and no way is he getting it ruined, Red do prefer to just sit and drink while watching movies tho, like he usually only eat stuff to gross people out because he’s a bit of an ass, there is obviously alcohol in what he drinks, like beers etc, he also ofc drinks mustard, he do like eating chips while drinking though.

Edge:

Edge does not watch movies often, mostly because he considers watching movies a waste of his time as he got much more important stuff he needs to do, like his never ending pile of paperwork, cleaning the house, training and checking up on his guardsmen, checking traps and do patrols etc, as Edge is one big workaholic, but when he do end up watching movies so is it because either Red or Cackles, aka UF Undyne, forces him to because he works way too much, he protests hella lot but eventually gives in as he knows he srs need to take a break even though he doesn’t want to, but just for an evening then he needs to be back or someone will mess his hard work up completely and he can’t allow that to happen.

And for what kind of movies he prefers to watch, so is he a sucker for romance movies, the cheesier and more dramatic the better, he would totally love those Spanish dramas allot, he loves romance movies because he is a super romantic at heart, is all about giving roses and fancy dinner dates etc, which he will vehemently deny that he is and that he likes those kind of movies if asked, unless he truly trusts you then he can hesitantly admit it that he do with a blush, so what if he likes romance movies?! just because he is the feared and famous captain of the royal guard doesn’t mean he can’t like romance movies! though please keep that knowledge on the down low he got a reputation to uphold after all!

He similar to Papyrus gets really into the movies he watches, at least when it comes to romance ones otherwise he doesn’t get as invested, but with romance movies though he either gets so into the movie that he argues with the things that happens, telling the characters to not do that, that is not what happened you got it all wrong, you shouldn’t take him back Linda what are you doing you fool you’re supposed to get together with Mark! or he will sit there completely quiet, not allowing anyone to talk or else he will schreech at them to shut up or else they will wish they had never talked in the first place! he also like Papyrus does not handle very embarrassing parts in movies that well either, lot’s of schreeching into a pillow or have to leave the room for a bit because no just no why did they do such a stupid thing while been extremely embarrassed himself.

Edge is very opinionated when he watches movies, no matter what movie or how invested in the movie he is, he will have opinions on it no matter what, he will immediately point out things he do not agree with or how if the characters in it had done this instead of what they had done like a pair of utter idiots things would had turned out so much better, he will try to stay quiet if someone asks him to, but he will still let out sarcastic af comments under his breath, and don’t get him started on plot holes! he do not like it when something makes absolutely no sense, like don’t let him watch a movie like “The Room” he will snap and go into a rant, schreeching how awful and just horrible the whole thing is while Red laughs his non existent guts out in the background.

Romantic tragedies are the ultimate guilty pleasure for him, like they don’t even have to be good ones, he will end up crying and clutching a pillow anyway, denying that he is crying if pointed out with a barely held back sniffle, this place is clearly dusty as he have gotten some dust in his eye he will have to clean later to make sure it doesn’t happen again shut up! Red will tease him when he cries which will piss Edge off because you are ruining the moment Red shut your damn mouth and let him enjoy the movie in peace! and stop taking photos of me you’re not allowed to take photos of me when I am crying I have told you so many times!

Something Edge does not enjoy watching is comedies, not even romantic comedies, as he finds the comedy and humour in them to be pretty tasteless, like there is no class in the humour it’s not executed well and the jokes are not funny, though if watching them he will end up letting out a snort at the worst jokes of them all which he immediately denies, claiming it was just so bad he had to laugh at it when he in fact found it kinda funny. he also isn’t that big of a fan of horror movies, mostly because they also are bad and tasteless, and that he already has to see such horrors time to time in real life why would he want to see more of it? and also they are doing stuff completely wrong most of the time too, but he will watch them if Red really wants to, he isn’t a fan of animated or cartoonish movies either, mostly as he considers them to be for children, Cackles is trying to get him to watch some anime with her and he is slowly caving in to at least try it out, and when he do he will end up absolutely loving it.

For snacks, so is he not really into snacking while watching, or snacking at all, as he just does not like candy or stuff like that that much, he prefers like some carrots or something with some dip if he now snacks, as he is a bit of a health nut and has a diet he follows religiously so to stay healthy, Red thinks Edge needs to get that stick out of his ass and live a little, relax it’s just some snacks for a night baby bro just give in already, Edge will of course resist any sort of attempt on his brothers part because no way is he going to eat such unhealthy things unless forced to in a social setting, though he do have a weakness for this one candy, it’s like a chocolate ball kind of candy which he really likes but tries hard not to eat as they are filled with sugar and stuff.

Troublemaker- Part 5 [END]

Pairing: Namjoon x Reader

Summary: You made a bet with your friend that you could make the class president fall for a troublemaker like yourself.

Genre: Fluff

Part: 1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 [END]

Warnings: swearing

The next thing you remembered was waking up in a nice toasty bed to the sound of sizzling pans and the smell of sugary sweets. As hungry as you were, you buried yourself under the blankets and into a different comforting scent that pulled you back to sleep.

You only woke up again when you smelt something on fire. Slowly, you rolled out of the bed and hobbled to the kitchen towards Namjoon with a frilly pink apron on.

Not sure of what the boy was actually cooking, you took a moment to examine the crime scene. Egg shell fragments and spilled milk on the counter, traces of flour on the boy from head to toe, a banana peel on the floor just waiting for someone to slip on it, and a pile of black matter on a crumby plate.

“Is that-”

Namjoon turned toward your voice in a slight panic, trying to hide the black matter behind his back. “Good morning, Sleepy Head.”

“Morning, Mr. Chef,” you walked up to him and blew a sly kiss in his direction before peeking behind him at the black matter. “Ooh, I love banana pancakes but I don’t think they’re supposed to be black.”

Mr. Chef laughed at what a mess he was. “This is why I don’t cook.”

You untied the apron from the boy’s waist and lifted it over his head. “If you knew that, why did you still wake up early and make black matter?” you said softly, looking into his eyes.

“I wanted you to have a good breakfast before your exam, but-”

“Thank you, Namjoon.” You wrapped your arms around him just where the apron had been and pressed your cheek against his chest. It didn’t matter to you that the breakfast wasn’t edible. All that mattered was that Namjoon had made it with you in mind. “But next time, wake me up so I can show you how to use a stove, yeah?” Next time? What were you saying? More than likely, there wouldn’t be a next time.

“Okay,” he ruffled your bedhead and told you to get ready while he cleaned up. But you refused to let go. Because after your exam, after you’d win your bet with Yoongi, there’d be no more reason to spend time with Namjoon. This was your last chance.

As the two of you walked onto campus together, you tried to do some last minute studying in your head, but you couldn’t focus. All you could think about was what would happen after the exam. And it bothered you.

“Don’t worry, Y/N,” Namjoon gave you his beautiful dimpled smile as his hand rested on your shoulder. “You’ve worked really hard, so you’ll pass~!”

You only nodded, even though the exam wasn’t your biggest concern. If anything, you only wanted to pass it for Namjoon’s sake. So none of the time he spent tutoring you would be wasted.

After the two of you went to your respective classrooms, you sat next to a sleeping blob. “Yoongi!” The blob jumped before returning to its natural human form.

“What? I’m trying to sleep,” he groaned, lying his head back down on the desk.

“Are you ready for the exam?”

“I should be the one asking you that. Remember how you didn't even know what a derivative was?”

“I know what it is now, okay?!” you raised a fist at the boy before turning soft and red at the thought of your tutor who had helped you through all of your calculus problems. “And I think I can pass…”

“This is our last exam of the year, so don’t fuck it up,” Yoongi said, watching the teacher finally come in with a stack of exam booklets. “Speaking of which, our bet ends today too, doesn’t it? I’m assuming Namjoon hasn’t confessed his love to you?”

“Just give me until the end of the day, after we get our exam results back,” you twirled your pencil. “I’m meeting up with him afterwards to celebrate. So consider that my last opportunity to get him to say it.”

“Fine, but prepare yourself for a wonderful punishment when you lose the bet~” the boy wiggled his fingers at you in a creepy way. “I look forward to seeing you suffer.”

Normally you’d be fired up by Yoongi’s cocky remark, but honestly, you were no longer feeling confident or good about the bet.

Once you had solved all of the math problems and checked your answers for any mistakes, you were surprisingly the first to submit your exam to the teacher. After returning to your seat, you sat with nothing to do for another hour as everyone else continued working on their exams. A good student, like Namjoon, would probably utilize their time more efficiently and look over their exam like fifty times. But you weren’t a good student.

Instead, you used your time to think through different scenarios regarding Namjoon and the bet. But the more you thought about it, the more you realized there was no way things would end well. If you didn’t pass your exam, then Namjoon wouldn’t have say “I love you” but you’d have wasted all of the time he spent tutoring you. On the other hand, if you did pass, he would surely hate you for making him say those words after finding out it was part of a bet between you and Yoongi. If anything, you wished you had never made the stupid bet in the first place.

After everyone in your class finished their exam and let out a sigh of relief, you stared at Yoongi until you caught his attention. Of course, it was already far too late for you to ask him to call the bet off, but maybe there was still something that could be done to limit the damage to your relationship with Namjoon.

“So what’s this wonderful punishment you have planned for me if I lose the bet?”

“It’s a secret,” Yoongi just rolled his eyes, unwilling to spill anything to you. “You’ll find out as soon enough. Unless you wanna admit defeat right now.”

“Just tell me, Sugar!” you shoved the boy.

“No can do. My lips are sealed,” he shrugged with a smug look. “It’ll only be relevant if you lose anyway. It’s pretty genius if you ask me.”

“Fine…” You finally gave up on pestering the boy, but still wondered how bad the punishment would be. All you knew was that it couldn’t be worse than the aftermath of winning the bet.

But all you could do now was wait for the teacher to scan all the answer sheets and come back with the exam results.

“What’d you get?” Yoongi’s beady little eyes tried to sneak a peek at your score, but not before you hid it against your chest.

“I’m not telling you,” you scoffed as the two of you exited the classroom. “If you’re not telling me your evil plan, then why should I tell you my score?”

“You failed, didn’t you?” he shook his head in disappointment. “Guess you can’t go celebrating with your boyfriend now~”

“Namjoon’s not my boyfriend!” You finally snapped, not at the fact that Yoongi used the word “boyfriend”, but at the fact that he really wasn’t your boyfriend and that you wouldn’t be able to celebrate with him. There was really nothing to celebrate about. Yoongi was only adding salt to the wound.

“Ouch, Y/N.” The last voice you wanted to hear spoke right into your ear. You turned to see a comforting Namjoon walking next to you, but quickly looked away to hide your shame.

“Didn’t you hear, Namjoon?” You looked towards the floor of the school hallways. The boy gave you a confused puppy look. “I didn’t pass the exam, so let’s not celebrate. I’m sorry for wasting your time.”

“Y/N, you didn’t waste my time,” he spoke softly. “We can still celebrate about all your hard work over these past few days. Didn’t you say you wanted to go to the arcade?”

You only shook your head. Why wasn’t he upset when he heard you had failed or exam, or that you didn’t want him as a boyfriend? Why did he still want to spend time with you, even after exams were finished?

Yoongi, clearly the fucking elephant in the room, just watched the disaster unfold with a pouty lip. You looked at him for a moment, as if to telepathically tell him to leave, but when it didn’t get through to his thick skull, you sighed, “Yoongi, you won, okay? Now leave me alone.”

Taking in the seriousness of the situation, the boy nodded silently and left you alone with Namjoon. You were sure he was celebrating on the inside, but even a snake like Yoongi knew when to keep his mouth shut.

“He won a bet?” The word “bet” made you jump, especially when it came out of Namjoon’s mouth.

You nodded.

“Did it involve me?”

You nodded.

“Was it to get me to say I love you to you?” The boy was truly a genius.

You nodded.

“You actually passed your exam, right?”

You nodded, until you realized what he just asked you. “Wait, what?”

“You were lying when you said you failed the exam, yeah?” he asked again, only this time with a chuckle. The boy was too smart for his own good.

“How’d you know…?” You finally removed your test score from your chest and revealed a healthy 94/100.

“I’m the class president. I know everything,” he smirked at you. “AKA, the teachers sometimes ask me to scan and grade exams, so I may or may not have peeked at your score before handing them back to your teacher.”

“You snake!” you gasped. Never in your life did you ever expect to call the perfect model student, Kim Namjoon, a snake. But it an affectionate use of the word, like a pet-name.

“Call me what you like, Y/N, but you only lied so I wouldn’t have to go through with our own bet right? So I wouldn’t have to say I love you to you for passing the exam? You were trying to protect me, right?” He nudged you.

“Maybe…” you sulked with your face bright red. How sad… a troublemaker like you got outsmarted by the class president.

“Maybe you’re not as naughty as I thought you were,” he smirked suggestively.

“Maybe you’re not as boring as I thought you were,” you imitated him back before sticking your tongue out like a little brat.

“So what’s your punishment for losing the bet with Yoongi?” He ignored your cute little tongue, and instead took your hand into his own. You wondered if that meant he wasn’t mad at you for making the stupid bet in the first place.

“Good question. Snake #1 wouldn’t tell me what the punishment was! But I’m dreading it, so can you just say I love you so I can win the bet? Please and thank you in advance~!” You jokingly gave him the puppy eyes you knew he was weak for.

“Nah, I’m good,” Namjoon laughed at you, although he ruffled your hair affectionately. “But if it makes you feel any better, we can confront Snake #1 together, as a team.”

“A team~!” Your eyes widened and sparkled for real this time. You wondered if “team” was lowkey code for “couple”. “C’mon, let’s go kick Yoongi’s ass together!”

“We’re not kicking anyone’s ass, Y/N.”

“But-”

Yoongi shifted his eyes back and forward between you and Namjoon, wondering what exactly happened after he had fled the scene. Because it definitely didn’t look like things turned out as horribly as one would’ve assumed. “Do you really want me to tell you your punishment with Namjoon standing right there?”

“Just spit it out, Sugar,” you rolled your eyes. “It doesn’t make a difference if he’s here.”

“Tell Namjoon how you really feel about him.”

“What.”

“Tell Namjoon how you really feel about him. That’s your punishment.”

“Yoongi, I really fucking hate you.”

“I hate you too. Now tell Namjoon how you really feel about him,” Yoongi cackled, fleeing the scene once more before you had the chance to kick his ass.

“I fucking hate that guy,” you repeated, shaking your head and hoping it would somehow distract Namjoon from the punishment.

“But he picked a good punishment,” the boy laughed. “And besides, remember the promise you made with me last night? You said if you passed your exam, you’d tell me whether or not you liked me.”

“Wow, you really don’t forget anything, do you?” you tried to look annoyed, but realistically, this was your chance to be completely honest with Namjoon. “But you really want to know my feelings for you?”

“Yeah,” he gave you a dimpled smile as a sign of comfort. A sign that assured you that no matter what you felt for him or he felt for you, it would be okay.

“Love is a strong word,” you paused to think carefully about what you were saying. “And I wish I had never used that word as part of a childish bet. So I’m really sorry for getting you involved in that giant mess, Namjoon.”

“Apology accepted,” he said, squeezing your hand gently.

“And as for my feelings about you,” you blushed. “They’re a bit complicated? Like, it doesn’t feel right that the bad kid falls for the good kid. But at the same time, I really envy what a kind and hardworking person you are, and I enjoyed getting to know you underneath your image as the class president.”

“I’m flattered, but aren’t you being a little ball of cheese?”

“Basically what I’m trying to say is, you’re amazing for putting up with all my troublemaking shenanigans,” you looked up at the boy. “And I have a tiny crush on you. Just a tiny one~!”

“You’re really are a handful, Y/N,” he slyly planted a kiss on your cheek. “But I have a tiny crush on you too.”

You couldn’t stop yourself from smiling brightly at the boy. Maybe neither of you said I love you, but realistically, you didn’t need that validation for your feelings nor for your pride as a troublemaker. Because the way Namjoon made you feel was way more than what those three simple words could ever give you.

A/N: thank you so much for reading this tiny fluff series~! it’s always refreshing to step away from angst from time to time. i hope you enjoyed it!💖💖

What's the worst fight you all had?

“The worst fight? Oh no... I... think that one was a while back, when we were still teens.”

FlashBack Time~

(slight warning, this is long, like sorry guys)

“Ok, that’s it! I’ve had enough of this punk, going around and giving people a ‘reality check’. Well, I think its his turn to have one.” Zackery huffed, his lips drawn back into a snarl as he began to pull his hair back into a ponytail.

“Zackery, no! You are not going to do anything except sit down and cool off.” Kodo stated, standing up and crossing her arms, her vines sprouting out and wrapping tightly around his waist. “Zackery, you are part of Team Harmony and you’re trying to become a hero, going around and punching anyone and everyone who pisses you off is only going to end up hurting you in the end and it wont solve anything.” She added, huffing out hot air from her nose and narrowing her eyes at him.

Zackery simply snarled before yanking at her vines, forcing Kodo to stumble toward him. “And what about you?! All you end up doing is just shut down and get all passive, basically rolling over whenever a problem comes up that you cant figure out how to solve! Dont you care at all that the guy you, supposedly had a crush on, told you to fuck off?? Doesn’t it bother you that he’s happy with someone else while you did absolutely nothing and just sat out in the background?!” He shouted, waving his arms around, clenching and unclenching his fists over and over as his anger start to boil over.

“Yes.. no... I dont know dammit! I failed and messed up and made things worse, so just let me forget about it and move on already for Christ sake! As long as he’s happy, I’m happy, who cares? Whatever. Besides, the key word here is HAD. I HAD a crush on him, right now, I dont, so I dont care. And why do you care anyway? None of this involves you, none of this is about you!” Seemed anger was contagious since Kodo was starting to engage Zackery in a screaming contest. By now, her vines had released Zackery but they were flinging around, mimicking Kodo’s arm movements. Finally, she stood on her toes, chest puffed out and glared up at Zackery, fists balled up and at her side, shaking.

“Why do I care? Why do I care?! Kodo for fuck sake, has over 10 years of friendship mean so little to you that you have to question why I would care about someone telling you to fuck off? What am I to you? A knight, your brother, or just a fucking joke?!” Zackery trailed off, having started off yelling and stomping closer to her but has he started to piece things together, his shoulders sagged, lips forming a small and thin line, eyes glancing at her and then at the ground before he just sighed and shook his head.

With a huff, Zackery spun on his heels and stomped over to the door, only for Tachi to have had enough of this screaming contest and stepped in, blocking Zackery’s way.

“And where do you think you’re going?” Tachi asked, looking down at Zackery with arms crossed.

“And just who the fuck do you think you are? You really think you’re something all high and mighty huh? Look at you, looking down at me as if I was nothing more but just a nuisance... thats what I am to you people, right? A good for nothing nuisance that does nothing but brings trouble?”

“Zackery, please, lets just talk about this.”

“Zack, you’re a major nuisance right now. Just turn around and sit down before you blow a fus-.” Tachi ordered, only to get cut off by a sudden punch to the face. The sucker punch was strong enough to knock Tachi back and bump against the door before he regained his footing. Rubbing his now sore jaw, Tachi glared at Zackery, clenching his fist.

“So I’m a major nuisance huh? Finally glad that we can have some fucking truth around here. You want to know what I think about you!? All you do is walk around as if you own the place, all high and mighty just because you have a real special quirk, AND YOU DONT EVEN USE ALL OF IT! Not to mention, you never really talk to us about anything that goes on in that thick skull of yours. If we’re supposed to be a team, you sure do have a funny way of showing your team spirit.” Zackery ranted, getting all up in Tachi face, who was doing all he could to stop himself from knocking the fireball out.

“Zackery please, that’s enough. Can we just cool off and move on?” Kodo asked, hesitantly approaching her friend only to jump back when he spun around to face her.

“Dont think you’re getting out of this scot-free. You’re just as bad as he is when it comes to your secrets. I get it, I’m a dumb fuck, I know I am, and its clear thats how the two of you see me, but I’m not blind. You like to go around pretending that you’re this open book, almost as if you’re better than all of us, but I know the truth, you hide so many things in between the lines. I am just so sick and tired of you two keeping everything a secret and treating me like I’m the dumbest fucking hazard there is in the world!” As Zackery ranted and scream, Kodo slowly backed away, wanting to keep as much distance between herself and her angry friend.

Finally, Tachi just grabbed Zackery and lifted him up to eye level. "So you think you’ve done nothing wrong? Look at you. You’re just a walking fire hazard. Its a wonder how you made it this far in life without someone else coming around and dealing with you. With either of us, you’d probably just end up sleeping under a bridge somewhere!”

The two dived into a heated argument between each other, Zackery’s hair slowly growing in temperature with smoke rising up from it, while Tachi was just shaking in anger.

As Kodo watched her two friends just verbally rip each other apart, a lump formed in her throat as her eyes watered up, stinging and making it hard to see until finally, “I’M SORRY!” She shouted, causing the two to pause in their own argument and looked at her.

“Wait, what? Why are you apologizing?”

“I’m sorry! I dont tell you guys anything, I just bottle everything up, I feel like crap every single day, I’m just so jealous of your amazing and strong quirks while I got stuck with something weak, I’ll never be able to match anything you two do, I never meant to make either of you feel stupid, being smart is all I’m good at and even then I still mess up, I’m not worthy of being your leader or friend...” Kodo continued to just spill her guts out as tears cascaded down her red cheeks. Her voice cracked and shook in several places, but she continued to just spill it all out.

Tachi immediately dropped Zackery and the two scrambled over to her, a little unsure of what to do. After a while, the two decided to just let Kodo let it all out, tissues and a water bottle ready for her. After several minutes, she finally calmed down enough, that or she just ran out of things to say.

The room was just filled with this heavy and thick silence, the two brothers awkwardly looking at each other before one of them spoke. “Look, Tachi I-”

“No, I’m sorry. What you said... I... I think I really needed to hear it.”

“But dude, I shouldnt have yelled or said those nasty things... I mean, I’m sorry too.”

“But you were right. You two are family to me, when I lost my sight in my eye, everyone else just turned their backs on me but you two, you were there for me, helped me, and look at where I am now because of you two. I really should open up more, it would only help all of us, right?”

“Just because I was right doesnt mean that I should have said it in the way I did. I just, I just get so mad. Like I can clearly see that something is bugging your two guys, but no matter what I do, I cant get either of you to talk to me. It just made me feel like that I didnt matter to either of you and that you guys must hate me I’m sorry.”

“Zackery, you do matter. No matter how angry I get, or frustrated you make me feel, I could never hate you, and I will never stop loving you. I promise that from now on, I’ll try to open up more. You guys are my family.” Kodo chimed in, her voice a little scratchy from crying.

“Am I promise to try opening up as well. Zack, I’m sorry for making you feel like you were below me. You’re not, but I failed in making that clear.”

“I’m not exactly guilt free either. I really need to stop doing all of this fighting... and that sucker punch was just really uncalled for, I’m sorry dude. How about your punch me back and we call it even?”

“Zackery, if I did that, you’d end up in the hospital, so no. I kind of deserved it, so we’re fine.” Tachi added before ruffling his hair.

“Can... can we just stay like this for a while, please?” Kodo asked, referring to the cuddle pile that they had formed.

“Yeah, its rather nice... Maybe afterward we can head out and get some food?” Tachi offered, shifting a little until he was a little more comfortable.

“Sounds good to me, and I’ll pay since I started all of this.” Zackery stated, not letting any of them counter it. And with that, the trio just relaxed for a while, until Zackery said one last thing.

“I’m still kicking that punk’s ass, hard.”

“ZACKERY NO!”
