in the last like 7 years there's been two reality tv guys i really liked i found them very entertaining i thought they were funny etc thought this for years. 2/2 have been accused of rape now i need to stop treating these people like they're characters they're being very genuine when they're awful
#one in 2021 one just a few days ago#i mean there's actually 3 that i liked and the third one was actually like bffs with one of them and very friendly with the other one so💀#and it's like i KNOW they're probably not good people right it's like i know i would hate these men irl because i didn't really like them#but i liked their personas#but their personas are not actually personas especially not the misogyny aspect of it like that is just real life😭#and it's never even really a surprise like yeah of course he would do that. so like that's kind of on me like yeah my bad for liking them#because they were unlikeable.....#like them being unlikeable was the appeal should have seen that coming#i'm not an avid reality tv watcher. the guy who was just accused of raping a woman i followed for years though because he was so awful he#was funny😕 i watched his snapchat stories every day and everything like it happened in australia in 2018 and i remember when he was there#i remember what he was filming there and everything (because i watched it like when it aired a few months later💀)#like i LIKED him#i know i just said i didn't like them but like i did ykwim...like i liked making fun of him and i liked hating him but i thought he was#endearing😕#and i haven't followed that guy in a while because he stopped posting on snapchat since you know...who even posts on snapchat anymore. but#yeah no. i don't even know why i'm sharing this#i hope you won't think less of me for being a reality tv person. and i'm not i haven't watched anything since like...early 2019?#i watched reality tv from like 2012 to 2015. and then from 2017 to 2019. 2015-2017 isn't a big gap but it feels like it is it was very#different you kinda had to be there#and like i say: brf slt#tw rape#rape tw

| when things don't go your way
synopsis: what do you call someone you're not dating but someone in your arms? hanni asks that question herself often but always comes to the same answer: which is you.

y/n, are u not coming to see me?
i miss you already...
haven't seen you for a month.
how's ur org doing?
received.
you find yourself smiling as you read her messages, it seems like just the casual hi and hello's, the simple updates that friends are supposed to be sharing with each other aren't enough to satisfy the pham's need to be able to see your face, hear your voice and touch you. she's right actually, the last time you've seen each other was a month ago, before your journalism organization started being busy once again and her life has been a lot more boring ever since. there have been lots of restless nights where you think to yourself that there's no such rest as good as hanni's hugs, you really need her embrace, her arms around your waist.
god i miss her…
you can't help but think to yourself whilst you sit in one of the journalism organization room swivel chairs, working in front of a computer for the next online publishing of the university's news publishing website. it's almost 9pm, the lights are dim and the last person who you were with inside the room was the radio broadcasting group's director — danielle marsh, who then left with the sports writer kang haerin. they've been going in and out together for the past couple of months, which went unnoticed by some members of the faculty as it was seen as “typical” and very on character for them to do so.
you weren't new to that thing too, it's pretty obvious they've got a thing for each other and they're pretty open about it if anything.
unlike you.
just seeing the two made you miss hanni so much more, and it's quite selfish to think of such things because everyone, including the sane part of your brain knew that there's nothing between the two of you except for friendship — worn like a cloak to hide a secret. you can't remember why this whole arrangement between you and hanni started, when did you start sharing kisses? when did you start taking her home? what was the reason you visited her place even if it was late at night? why were you even so adamant about being there for her when she needs someone? why did both of you agree not to put any meaning behind these things? those thoughts were at the back of your mind, it shouldn't matter actually and when you think about it you try not to pry yourself about how it should matter that much — at the end of the day, things are not going to change.
if the walls of your room could talk, your secrets would no longer be something shared between you and hanni.
well, you've been on thin ice for such a long time — at this point, you assume that everyone in your organization and her club already has an idea about your relationship with hanni and are quite in a stump about it but that's too far from the truth, in fact — there were hardly anyone who notices the little things you do. everytime you think about her, the shared secrets together, the things about you that only she knows — you can't even find a reason to hate yourself for entertaining something people won't find appealing. it's been so long, why would you even go back to where it all started to stop this from escalating even further when you could just go with it until the end.
you know, you're going to hold onto this till the end, thinking that there will be that time where you and hanni can settle things down and accept what needs to be accepted and leave what needs to be left behind.
maybe, things will get better eventually…
you just hope you can stick with this until — you can finally call her… yours.
honey ʕ⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴥ⁠ꈍ⁠ʔ
hm…
i'll think about it.
miss me already?
the org's doing just fine, hbu?
sent.
you drop your phone on the table as you close the tabs of the computer and then turn the computer off. you stay on the chair for a few more minutes, waiting for her reply as you fiddle the hem of your shirt with your fingers. quite nervous, confused as to why you were nervous — you can't help but just laugh, not having any explanation as to why you're suddenly acting like a giddy teenager girl over your so-called "friend".
crap… you think to yourself, it's really late now but you were hoping to see her again, at least even for just an hour or-so.
i wonder what she's up to now.
honey ʕ⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴥ⁠ꈍ⁠ʔ
oh! the club's doing well!
we just finished our project and were hoping to release it soon.
you know how giddy i get about it, right?
i wish you were here with me so i can tell you all about it.
received.
you feel the familiar heat crawling up to your cheeks, you tap at the screen only for a few seconds and then pick it up. you wonder why, even before you kissed her, no matter how many times you tried setting yourself up with other girls — it wasn't effective at all. behind those words you told other people is hanni lingering at the back of your mind, the image of her face clear in your eyes until you just gave up, leaving yourself falling into her arms.
just how many times have i tried?
i can't even remember.
you thought then just gave up.
honey ʕ⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴥ⁠ꈍ⁠ʔ
yeah…
i wish i was there, where are you anyway?
i mean, maybe i can come and see you.
right?
sent.
you stare at her message for a few seconds then you stand up and grab your bag that's been left unattended on the floor for a few hours since you first started working on the articles. you have absolutely no idea about what you're doing, it's just you doing whatever once again and doing it in the most random time ever but that's just because you missed hanni so much.
it won't hurt, right?
spending just some time to see her again.
honey ʕ⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴥ⁠ꈍ⁠ʔ
wait, really?
i mean…
that's great!
but what about your roommate?
will minji not look for you?
received.
that's the thing, minji has been your roommate for almost two years — yes, that long. she's practically like your sibling at this point, one that you can always trust and lean on when you need a shoulder to hold onto or someone to cry on. minji used to be also a part of the film making organization in your university. she used to work with hanni on some projects for school until she left to focus on writing her own stuff on her own accord. so, minji is someone hanni already knew before she met you.
minji knows your thing with hanni and is at first troubled by it, but then it's not like it's something unethical, right? it's just secrets and a relationship with no label, it doesn't hurt anyone aside from you and hanni. that's the thing, minji feels bad that you subject yourself to self-harm — which is a relationship where you have no right to feel jealous about. she knows it sucks, how many times have she asked you: “what’s really between you and hanni?” and you always answer her. “nothing, we're close friends.” even though she's seen you cuddling with hanni on your couch, awfully closer than normal.
she worries your mother might find out even before you make it official between the two of you,
you know, she knows you're screwed if it were to happen.
minji has basically given up prying her way into your business but still tries to watch out whenever you feel sad or frustrated. she's always there when you need her — she's obviously a great friend that even your parents trust.
honey ʕ⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴥ⁠ꈍ⁠ʔ
nah, don't worry
i’ll tell her.
she’ll be alright.
where are you?
sent.
honey ʕ⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴥ⁠ꈍ⁠ʔ
great, i’m here at my condominium
just, you know? waiting…
hope you come here asap
;)))
received.
you grab your backpack and sling to your shoulder, making your way past the rows of computers lined and exiting the room. you see the dim corridor, your eyes follow along the lines of doors and the straight path to the stairways, and under the dark hall the pictures of when you first met hanni lingered at the back of your mind, right at the end of the corridor.
r u carps, min?
hey minji,
bro
i won't be home 2night
take care of the dorm and heat up the pizza
i got some money under the flower base and just take it to order sum whatever…

and with a blink, you come back to reality and start running your way to the stairs and reaching the ground floor — rushing as soon as possible to get to the open parking lot where your scooter is parked, you open your top box with your keys and immediately place your bag inside before locking it once again.
r u carps, min?
dude wtf?
why now? ur mom will be here tomorrow.
y/n?

as the engine ignites, all your worries are pushed back behind before the motor accelerates and you finally find your way outside the campus then to her condominium.
“you’ve been away for so long.” hanni grumbles, arms wrapping themselves around your torso, you laugh at her expression, a cute pout adoring her pink lips and her eyes full of stars inside of them. it's almost like she has the universe in her pupils. “only for a month by the way, i’m guessing you really feel lonely here.” you tell her, raising your brows at her direction with a smile on your lips. she nods, snuggling closer to your body on the bed, she feels like a koala the way she couldn't let go of your figure.
“of course! aside from my parents, you're really the only one i want here with me.” she says, well it's nothing but the truth but hearing it made something inside you tremble. it's something you cannot understand but something you feel very deep inside, you only smile at her.
she could bring anyone she wants here.
and you would still not be able to tell her nothing, because you have no right to do so.
she's free to do whatever she wants to do.
and that must be your fault, right?
you place a hand on top of her head, patting her soft hair under your palm. “seriously, this is why you feel lonely. having a friend or two here other than me wouldn't be so bad.” you express out of genuine feelings, though it's nice to know you're the only one she wants, you can't help but feel guilty that you're making her wait or expect too much to the point she's not allowing anyone inside of her life aside from you.
at the end of the day, you only want her to be happy.
but that's not the case, for a relationship that doesn't have any label — hanni seems committed to it.
you haven't even said anything but she's already sure she's yours, and it honestly makes you feel bad even if it is a mutual feeling you two both share.
“i really only want you…” hanni buries her head on your neck, snuggling close for warmth and you can't help but wrap your arm around her, to keep her close as if anyone was going to take her away from you if you don't. “it's okay, i won't be away for any longer anymore. i promise.” you whisper, you feel hanni nod her head and feel her lips against your skin as she speaks. “promise me you’ll be here with me forever?” you look down on her, eyes directly on her cheek, her face hidden on your neck. “i will.” you smile at her.
maybe, you are really that tired that when you open your eyes it's already 9am in the morning yet hanni is still wrapped around your arms. the sun shines so much brighter on days like this, it must have been her presence beside you and everyday should have been like this if things were different.
there is still a chance for you to change it.
you start to see it.
“are you sure i can come to you and minji’s place today?” hanni asks, looking up from her plate of food, she tilts her head as she asks, eyes meeting your own pair. “well yeah, you know minji would never mind.” you say, bringing your utensils down before smiling at her direction. “besides, it’s not a busy day today.” you add.
you take the helmet in hanni’s hands and help her wear it on her head, making sure it's strapped tight. as your hands let go of the helmet, you notice hanni staring at your face and you raise your brows at her. “what?” you ask. hanni giggles and shakes her head. “nothing, i just… feel giddy about being with you today after what felt like forever.” she says and you almost saw the entire galaxy inside of her eyes the way it shines, the wait the light sparkles, you can't help but be mesmerized.
you nod at her and place a kiss on her cheek. “of course, it's not everyday we get to be like this together.” you huff and hop on the motor, hanni follows and wraps her arms around your waist.
when you get to your shared apartment’s front door you notice the weird aura of the place, you hesitate to open the door as you stand still looking at the wooden entrance, hanni peeks behind you and wonders why you haven't touched the doorknob.
now… i must be paranoid.
it's oddly quiet or somehow, there's a strange presence looming around the place and you don't know what it was.
you take the doorknob in your hand and feel its cold surface, sending shivers on your spine. you twist it and enter inside, slowly stepping a foot and looking around to see if anyone beside minji is present, hanni follows quietly but is still confused. your eyes widen when you spot your mom standing by the living room and seemingly pacing around, in panic and quite in a rush, impatient.
you feel a rush of adrenaline pumping in your veins as you immediately take a step back, pull hanni outside then close the door gently. “w-what’s wrong? is there an intruder inside?” hanni asks, worried that there might actually be an intruder, which ironically turned out to be your mom. you laugh sheepishly and scratch the back of your head. “uh no? i just remembered that minji wasn't around and… we can go grab food somewhere before coming back—” your words are cut off when the door opens to, none other than minji.
“minji..?” hanni looks behind you, to the door as minji stands with a hard expression on her face.
“where have you been?” minji asks, her tone is strict and impatient for an immediate answer, her eyes bore behind you and then dart back at hanni. “and why is hanni here?” she adds to the pile of questions.
you turn around and shake your head. “ah, i didn't know you were here… crap, i was at her place yesterday and i thought i’d hang around with her here ‘cause you wouldn't mind, right?” you shrug, minji kept her serious face but sighs, rubbing her temple with her fingers. “y/n, i won't of course. but you know who will?” she says, clearly frustrated.
hanni squints her eyes at minji. “who?”
“her mom, she's here today, waiting for y/n inside.” minji answers, you flinch at the idea before turning your head at hanni who frowns and looks away. “i didn't know she'd be here!” you whisper aggressively, rubbing your face with your hand.
“dude, i messaged you yesterday. you didn't even bother reading it.” minji argues, which was the truth but you were riding your scooter to hanni's place when you received the message — it was the reason you didn't have the time to read it.
with your face buried on your palm, you grumbled. “dude, i was riding my scooter that time…”
hanni sighs and places her hand on your shoulder, you put your head up and look at her. “i’m leaving for now i guess, you'd be in more trouble if she sees me.” hanni says, giving you a small smile.
you furrow your brows, you think to yourself that there must be a way — there's something you can definitely do, doesn't matter what there has to be something!
you stare at her, pursing your lips before reaching out for her hand and shaking your head. “no, you'll stay. don't worry i’ll take care of this, please just stay.” you tell her, minji’s expression turns into confusion — as if, your ways of salvaging you and hanni's relationship seemed absurd to minji's level of understanding.
“wait? y/n are you crazy? you're gonna get you both in trouble!” minji says, already scolding you even before the trouble happens. you look at her and shake your head, holding hanni’s hand tight. “no, that's my mom — i know her, we’ll be alright. i promise.” you look back at hanni to give her a small smile again, caressing the soft skin of her hand under yours to soothe the unstable feeling stressing her out.
the door opens once again but this time it's your mother who exits and her eyes dart at the three figures standing. “y/n? where have you been, young lady!” she yells, you laugh and look at her with a sheepish expression before pulling hanni slightly closer beside you. “i stayed somewhere only for a night. i swear, no troubles.” your mother seems to notice hanni’s presence beside you and raises her brow towards hanni, her scary aura unchanging.
hanni took a deep breath, opening her lips as if about to say a word but she fails miserably when your mother glares at her. “and who is this girl?” your mother asks, her voice asking irritatedly. you look at hanni before wrapping your arm around her torso, getting a look of doubt from your mother but mostly directed to hanni, who gulps a lump inside her throat. “hi — i’m y/n’s —”
“she's my girlfriend, mom.” you grin at your mother, hanni and minji both looked shocked at the sudden revelation — you were confident, this time you’re sure and there's no way you’ll take it back again, not this time or never again. hanni looks at you and her eyes shake when it meets your mother's gaze.
“oh, what..?” minji mutters, feeling her head spinning, she blinks in confusion and looks at the three people all facing one another. hanni blushes, aggressively gripping the hem of your shirt, looking up at you as if you said something crazy which is indeed crazy, out of character even.
“oh, really?” your mom adds, her voice softens but her eyes remain the same.
hanni looks at your mom, nodding her head gently.
“yes, i’m your daughter’s girlfriend, ma'am. nice to meet you…” hanni smiles, still quite hesitant, like a curious cat dipping its paws in something it doesn't know — but in hanni’s case she has her hand sticking out for a handshake.
somehow, your mother's eyes softened or is hanni just deluding herself into believing so?
she hopes, your mom did — because she shouldn't be seeing things, she's still sane after all!
yes, your mother did soften her gaze.
hanni may not be that crazy after all.
just a little, just for you.
“yeah! you're okay with it, right mom? hanni’s a very nice girl and she lets me sleep at her place when i stay at school late and she cooks me breakfast and she helps me with my homeworks. she helps me clean my room, helps me with my laundry and —” even before you finish rambling about how hanni basically keeps your life stable your mom raises her index finger to your way to shush you down before she steps forward to take a closer look at hanni.
your mother looks at hanni’s hand and reaches for it before shaking it, feeling hanni’s sweating and trembling hand. “nice to meet you, is my daughter too much work? i know she's a little handful sometimes.” you slump your shoulders as you mother jokes, hanni laughs— you notice the change in her voice, feeling your girlfriend starting to relax herself. “she isn't, i’m happy to be helping her.” hanni answers, feeling her cheeks flush and her blood boiling on her face.
“that's good to know, she's very dependent.”
minji nods and huffs. “yes, she is!” you roll your eyes at her.
you mother lets go of hanni’s hand and turns away to walk inside the door, but before she enters she calls for minji. “help me arrange the table.” she says, to which minji followed almost immediately.
hanni feels like laughing, there's a certain type of warmth blooming inside of her when she realizes what just happened. she blinks only for a bit, trying to do something to make sure she isn't daydreaming or dreaming whilst asleep — and she had just confirmed that she is indeed awake, none of what happened was fake and the warmth of your arm proved it.
“hanni.” you call out to her. hanni puts a hand on her mouth and looks up at you, starstrucked to actually see your mother up close.
“i’m your girlfriend?” she asks, to make sure you're not bluffing.
you smile and nod, giving her the type of gaze that means “i love you”.
“you are, you're my girlfriend.” you tell her.
hanni feels like crying this time, there's something about it that she can't explain — something about finally being able to hold onto something that isn't a thin thread of hope for something that will break apart in no time, without her knowing. something about finally being able to actually express her feelings without holding back sends waves of relief inside of hanni.
why has she not thought of this earlier? why didn't you tell her that earlier?
hanni embraces you in a tight hug, her face buried in your shoulder as she sobs. “oh my god…” you feel her speak. you laugh, petting her head. “hey now, i promise i’m not lying.”
hanni sniffs and looks up at you. “i love you.” she whispers, eyes covered with tears and cheeks are bright red, before breaking into a wide smile. “i love you too.” you tell her back before giving her a small kiss on her lips.

I just want to address this because I've seen a lot of international turtles freaking out and getting all excited about it - the supposed movie GG and DD are set to star in together.
I'm a bit surprised that anyone takes this even remotely seriously. Just a reminder that Douban is a user edited site just like IMDB and Wikipedia. Don't be sucked into ridiculous things like this. I put the chance of GG and DD starring in a film together at about 0.05%.
As I have said in the past, GG and DD are highly unlikely to ever work together again - at least not in the foreseeable future. Their fans wouldn't stand for it - and we should all know this by now. The fan wars would be horrible, unprecedented and potentially career-destroying on both sides. The arguments over which got higher billing than the other - that alone would burn down the internet.
They're also both top stars, so it's unlikely a production could afford them both, or that their schedules would coincide in such a way as to make a collaboration like this possible.
If they were to take a chance on working together again - and for countless reasons it would be a huge risk for them both - I doubt they'd do so unless the project and the production team were so high profile and undeniable that fans on both sides couldn't help but be excited for the opportunity and couldn't help but accept that it was a good choice for them. Wong Kar Wai, Ang Lee and the like. Even then, I'm not sure fans would accept it.
Never lose sight of how deeply the hatred runs between their two fan groups, or of how massive an impact that's going to have on their future choices, or on any chance of their appearing together.
All that aside, GG and DD are individuals who've worked hard to forge their own separate careers and build their individual successes. I don't think they'd be eager to throw back in together on a project so that they can be further lumped together and so there can be further public speculation about them and their relationship.
We're 5 years out since the Untamed and GG and DD STILL can't even appear on the same stage at an awards show, and turtles seriously think they're going to appear in a film together?
Please wake up and stop setting yourselves up for disappointment. Such ideas are nothing more than a wild fantasy, no matter how appealing they may seem. I urge every fan to try to come down to earth, take care of yourselves by being realistic and not buying into ridiculous rumors.
We're unlikely to even get a statement about this fake project. At most it will quietly disappear from Douban.
Remember: Melons are to be enjoyed but never believed.

So, I don't mean this in a rude way, but I genuinely don't understand the appeal of Fear & Hunger outside the fetishistic angle, and I was hoping you might be able to tell me what you like about it. Everything I've heard and seen about it seems to not be particularly scary, but rather just a sequence of gore and sexual assault related scenes that everyone assumes make a horror franchise because Bad Things are happening.
Oh? You killed someone? Well, congratulations, pal, you learned the masturbation skill! You lost a fight? Whoops, looks like that genie is going to fist your anus until you die! You're fighting a guy who tried to sexually assault your character? Now he turned into a horrible penis monster and is telling you to choke on his balls!
I know those examples are all from the sequel, but my impression is that the first one is very much like that as well. I'm totally willing to believe that I'm wrong, but from the outside, it genuinely looks like the fandom is a bunch of people insisting to each other that this is Actually Very Deep, when it's ultimately just weird porn that's honestly kind of sophomoric in its delivery. Again, I'm willing to believe there's something there, but I haven't been able to find it in anything I've seen of the franchise so far.
And to be clear, I'm not coming at this from the angle of someone criticizing people for being into weird porn, and I'm by no means unfamiliar with or against the concept of sexual horror. If people are into games where the penalty for losing is their character getting fucked to death, more power to those people. I guess what I'm saying is that it just feels like at least a portion of the fan base isn't being honest about what they get out of it. Like, if someone is really into the considerable amount of horny stuff in Fear and Hunger, that's fine, but own it.
I guess I'm ultimately hoping for either some clarification as to why I'm getting the wrong impression, or, like, confirmation that a lot of the appeal is the sexual stuff.
ramble below the break
so, before anything else, it should definitely be clarified: even through the lens of ryona and eroguro, Fear and Hunger isn't actually very much of a fetish game. it's got lots of gratuitous violence, a lot of which is sexual, but the actual content of the game is more like a splatter film than a guro doujin
it's a very silly qualification to pull, but I've got more than a passing familiarity with the other side of things and don't really think the game has that going on (I tried the game because I thought that's what it was lol)
a lot of it comes down to the fact that not only are those scenes unpleasant, but you also know they're paired with material consequences. kind of like how playing survival games in hardcore mode gives them an otherwise absent tension. you've gotta make hard choices, and sometimes those choices make you miserable
most players don't want to see those scenes, which is why it ends up being an effective (albeit absolutely not tasteful, no argument there) horror element. it has to be taken along with the restrictive saves, the harsh atonal music, and the fact that everything you run into in these games looks disgusting
the end result is a game where you have a number of saves that most generously can be counted on one hand with room to spare and spend your time running around a world where nearly everything wants to kill you, do something horrible to you, or some baroque combination of the two
Fear and Hunger's horror works because, unlike a lot of splatter horror, it forces the player to be in a prey mindset just as much as the protagonists are. it's really scary when you're rationing your saves, think you're almost in the clear, and then the game asks you to call a coinflip
if Fear and Hunger were presented in any other medium, I wouldn't think it makes for good horror. it's extremely silly to read about and is frankly either "Berserk with the labels sanded off" or "Majora's Mask but fucked up" depending on the game. the user-hostility of the mechanics turns those incoherent masses of scares into paranoid nightmare simulators
the abstract dread of "this character is about to have their arms twisted behind their back and their organs pulled out of them" becomes very tangible when the player is actively trying to avoid a consequence. the tasteless sexual horror lands in large part because it's using the mechanics to force you to take the threat seriously
when you've got an infection on your arm and know that you could theoretically treat it but that it also might kill you in the time you're trying to find the medicine, you feel like a hunted animal asking yourself "maybe I should just saw it off"
or at least that's my read!

Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis have two "perfect" role models in the shape of two unlikely royals - who are themselves "spares to the spare."
The young royals, who could be considered the "spares" to future King, Prince George, the first born child of Prince Wiliam and Catherine, Princess of Wales, should look to Prince Edward, the new Duke of Edinburgh, and his wife Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, for how to go about their life as working royals.
Edward and Sophie have been hailed as the perfect role models for Charlotte and Louis due to their successful roles within the Royal Family.
The couple recently carried out a historic ceremony on behalf of King Charles III, marking 120 years of friendly relations between Britain and France.
Their rise to prominence has been a long time coming, according to former BBC Royal correspondent Jennie Bond.
Jennie told OK!: "They thoroughly deserve the recognition they are now getting."
Tumblr media
She added that despite their work often being overshadowed by other royals, they have remained devoted to their causes.
As they take on more prominent roles, they are proving themselves up to the task and serving as excellent examples to their great nephews and niece.

It is a position which has notoriously come with question marks attached as the Royal struggles to carve out a life for themselves in the shadow of the crown.
Tumblr media
Jennie added:
"They [Edward and Sophie] have always been quietly devoted to their various causes, but their work has been overshadowed by other royals.
I suppose every cloud has a silver lining... and as the King calls on them to take a more prominent role, Edward and Sophie are showing they are very much up to the task.
"They are also serving as excellent role models to their great nephews and niece - showing that you can be a 'spare' or even a 'spare to the spare' and make a real success of working as a valued member of the Royal Family."
But among the many benefits of the Prince and Princess of Wales ' preference for gentle parenting directed by what Catherine has learned from her studies of early years education, it is clear that the couple will be striving to normalise their younger children's lives with the hope that they never feel like working as royals is their only option.
Tumblr media
"William and Catherine must be acutely aware of the problems for a royal spare," Jennie explains.
"They have already shown that they have a different and modern attitude to bringing up royal children.
I'm sure they will do everything to make Charlotte and Louis feel every bit as special, loved and valued as George.
I imagine they will encourage Louis to explore life outside the royal fold... it could be the military, but it could also be working in the charity world or whatever he finds appealing after his education is finished.
I'm sure they will encourage him to go to University, which they both enjoyed and where, of course, they found love.
Tumblr media
"And from there they will want him to find a life that is meaningful to him as well as appropriate for the son of a future King.
They will try to ensure that he feels he is living a life of value, irrespective of his place in the line of succession.
And that will probably involve service of some kind as they have emphasised from the start that they want their children to understand that having empathy with others is not only a kindness but is rewarding as well."
Edward and Sophie have seen their popularity and recognition within the Royal Family soar over the past 13 months, since being given new titles.
The pair are increasingly front and centre at crucial events, stepping in for the King while he prioritises his health recovery.
Tumblr media
Prince Edward is a trusted supporter of the arts sector, taking up his late father's Duke of Edinburgh Awards Scheme mantle.
Meanwhile, Sophie champions gender equality tirelessly, raising critical awareness around issues like female genital mutilation (FGM) and avoidable blindness prevention.
Away from participating in Royal duties or representational roles on behalf of the King, Edward and Sophie, along with their two children — Lady Louise Windsor and James, Earl of Wessex, 20 and 16 respectively — reside at Bagshot Park close to the Windsor Estate, whenever they're not away studying at university or school.

Daeron x wild genius girl HCs? Like he seems calm and levelheaded so it’d be funny to imagine him trying to keep up with a rambunctious person.
Yes it was just supposed to be something pro Daeron, but I don't know I was seduced by the Targaryen, currently I'm annoyed because the Tumblr gave error and the blog didn't come as I wanted :). I hope you at least like the Daeron part, honestly I wrote more stuff but Tumblr deleted it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Your relationship with Aegon would be like you are the brake of this man, he is like a cannon ball that is just waiting for some gunpowder, and you are so serious and tough that honestly it is so strange, Aegon wants to test all your limits, he is a person without limits if we can say so, and it's up to you to set them, secretly he loves, he loves your rules, he loves how you are a highly pacifist, who hates confrontation and your diplomacy, it's something that is not only sexual, but he doesn't know it, he feels that you are so powerful and sincerely being next to you makes him feel strange.
You are not as gifted in showing affection, not like him, Aegon feels that with you he could take you in any corner, and be seen by anyone, and you sincerely would like to keep your dignity, but it's funny, because he takes away your more rebellious side this side that you never allowed yourself to release, mainly with the fears of the labels you know you will receive, but who dares to label the queen/princess, don't worry love, your head will be on a platter just for you, but you don't allow yourself to think about it much, not when he convinced you to use a secret passage and climb on the council table or on the iron throne itself, in the kitchen, just what this man is making you, you don't know but you love, you love to walk with him on Sunfyre's back, how liberating the wind in your hair and caressing your face.
Aegon loves to drink and guess what, you loathe him in every way, it's not because of labels, or anything like that, you just hate how people get when drunk, they change so much and mask their character through drinks that only take away your judgment each time, so no you don't abhor booze you abhor the rampant way Aegon ends up drowning in it, how it just doesn't allow him to grow up to be the man you know he can become, Aegon doesn't see the appeal, he's perfectly fine drunk, wrong he sees a time, after almost having sex with a whore he thought was you, in his distorted vision it seemed, he only recognized that there wasn't the same sweet smell you grew from lilies, or when he almost said so many horrible things at a dinner party that not only embarrassed you but everyone around you, he was already used to the look of disappointment from his relatives, but he couldn't stand yours, you made him promise to really try, and he wouldn't even take it seriously, if he didn't see the look you gave him, and he saw how serious you were, and he tried, with slips here and maybe there, but always making sure it was enough to get you back into bed at night.
You might be a little too naive, maybe just a little, unlike Aegon, he is so malicious, his looks his sighs his smile everything about him says how depraved he can be, and you are not ignorant no you see that, but at the same time you can't help your naivety and innocence to some of his attitudes, maybe that's why you are still with him everybody thinks, but as much as Aegon always tries to get the worst out of you, You're not stupid of course, you're not blind, and that doesn't mean that your innocence should be confused by one of those adjectives, it's just a way for both Aegon and you to bring out sides that neither of you before you met allowed yourself to know with each other.

Being the total opposite of Aemond is so funny I can say, you are just a sweetheart of a person all over the face of the earth, from the heavens where only the wings of the greatest dragon can reach to the bottom of the sea where there are no more lives, it's just weird really that you and Aemond are in a relationship, like!? Like this.
Not exactly it has to make sense, you and Aemond don't give a damn about people who say you shouldn't be with him or visse versa, just because of your personality, as I mentioned in Aegon's, plus your genetics unlike Aemond's inherent cruelty, you are highly innocent and just sweet with everyone, so it would be no different with Aemond, sweetness is garlic which frankly he strongly abhors, being kind friendly and nice, is a sign of weakness and he feels everyone will take advantage and swallow you for it, but he loves how he loves, the sweet way not how you treat others, it just gives him a feeling of envy and jealousy, but how you treat him, how you gently run your hands over his face, how you kiss his scar, how in your eyes there is never pity when you see his eye or his scars, you just love him, and he thanks you so infinitely, he allows himself to be kind only to you, he will be hostile to everyone, which you disapprove of with a passion, it makes him in front of you not kind, only less aggressive, sarcastic and mean in every way.
So yes dear servant be glad you won't lose your job or a body part, because you were there, and you soothed Aemond by the woman spilling wine on his expensive dress with the Hightower colors, he even forgot, for a while his dress stained, it was hard to remember the servant's face when she ran out into the halls, and his eyes and bodies were fixed on your body, on your lips, and how they looked so perfect together from yours, so be thankful.
Aemond will swallow up anyone who takes advantage of your naivety, you're like an innocent sheep that everyone thinks, ah it's easy to kill you, but behind you is not so hidden mind a giant fucking dragon with eyes so dark and cruel that he will burn anyone who tries to lay a finger on your soft strands of hair, he protects you from everything and everyone, you are not weak, but the fact that you always really avoid confrontations to the point of getting hurt or being hurt, that will not happen anymore, not while you have a beautiful Targaryen prince as your love, and that will be forever.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Your dynamic in my mind is something like INTJ and ENFP, like two opposite currencies that complete each other in unimaginable ways, those who see it at first glance simply think it's impossible and even crazy for Daeron to support you, or to support your outgoing and hyperactive personality, well, sometimes they are right, the platinum prince is not as sociable as you, even though he is someone who is quite diplomatic, so sometimes your social battery runs out easily, which was something you quickly learned.
It was always difficult because you were like a bottomless pit, you just couldn't get any more, you just overflowed, you could never keep still or stand still for long, and you felt quite insecure because Daeron is quite closed off especially when it comes to feelings or his past, which is unlike you who once told your life story to a stranger on the street that you had helped, but this is not all bad, with you Daeron learned to really talk, without being for political agreements, you are usually the one who brings up some random subject, what he finds totally funny and what makes him feel comfortable in your presence, he doesn't feel obligated you are like a free spirit, that moves like the wind, and he allows himself sometimes to try to be more with you.
He keeps you calm most of the time when you are standing still, usually because you really end up bumping into various things, or just talking on and on, he doesn't mind talking he just doesn't want you to get hurt, so sometimes privately you are almost always sitting on him or in his lap, and his arms around you, while you are chattering about something, or lying in a meadow where your head is on his chest and you are in a comfortable embrace, him enjoying the beautiful moments, while listening to you talking about trees, squirrels, and just watching the sky, is something that warms his heart, or when you are in public he doesn't show direct affection, but still he insists on letting his arm tied around yours if possible, or being up close watching you, usually with a smile on his face while watching you talking to some lady, who for sure can't keep up with your broken humor, and nonsense jokes that nobody finds funny, well just you and him.

Planes, Trains, and Autobots
Summary Fic Part 2
[Previous] [Next]
((Srsly I need a title for this thing. Willing to take suggestions.))
Opening up on the Maltos House where, after the end of the first season, Bumblebee and the other Autobots have started taking efforts to educate the Terrans about Cybertronian culture and history in more detail. Something Alex enthusiastically takes part in.
(Really this is just an excuse for me, as a fan, to import whatever aspects of the previous lore I find most appealing, as well as inserting some stuff of my own.)
While they are doing this who should finally appear?
Ratchet. Because Ratchet needs to be in Earthspark. I will take no arguments.
(Definitely prefer his characterization as an older more experienced cybertronian medic so kinda going off that here. Generally for this fan speculative Earthspark version of Ratchet I see him, as always, being the Autobots top combat medic as well as one of their most senior and experienced members with a long friendship with Optimus. LIke a lot of the other Autobots, hes accepted Megatrons change of heart but unlike the others he doesnt necessarily get along with him and is not above bringing up past grievances or criticizing Megs for current as well as past decisions hes made. Hes generally a good hearted if grmpy guy, and a highly ethical medical practitioner with strong views.)
Optimus had asked Ratchet to finally come and meet the Terrans both to further introduce them to more potential allies they could rely on and also because it was becoming increasingly important that they finally gain an understanding of how the Terrans health works so that they can best meet their needs if they're ever hurt or in need of any other kind of medical aide.
Cue some adorable moments of Ratchet putting the Terrans through various basic exercises and roping them in when they try to show off their abilities to him while he remains unfazed. The Terrans initially think this means Ratchet doesnt like them, but Bumblebee clarifies that Ratchet is just so used to the various powers and abilities of all the cybertronians hes treated over his millions of years of life that hes almost, quite literally, seen it all. Besides which hes far more concerned with figuring out areas of the Terrans health that might need his attention rather than anything else. Lol obviously cue Ratchet being grouchy and immediately undercutting whatever it is Bumblebees just said.
Eventually the subject of Conjunx Endura (Cybertronian concept like marriage which I believe was introduced in the IDW comics) somehow comes to the Terrans attention and they try asking the various Autobots (and maybe Megatron?) about it but the group gets flustered FAST and plays hot potato with the subject until it comes to Ratchet who takes up the subject while deriding the others for not being able to get ahold of themselves to actually explain one of their most important ceremonies to the kids.
((Note: As an inherently asexual species thats nonetheless capable of the full gauntlet of emotions while ALSO living for millions of years, I tend to h/c that to the cybertronians the concept of being in love and married is an incredibly intimate subject that, historically, most younger bots aren't taught about until they're considered experienced enough in other things to grasp the gravity of the subject. The Terrans are, at most, a year old or so. So them asking the various autobots about the subject is, socially speaking, like your toddler asking you where babies come from.))
Ratchet thinks if they're old enough to ask the question, they're old enough to get an answer. Still Dot and Alex insist on being present since a) despite his enthusiasm Alex has no idea what the Conjunx Endura is, b) the terrans are all their adopted children, and c) are themselves insanely curious about what could make the autobots and Megatron so flustered. Which is good, because Ratchet winds up needing their help as his explanation of the concept is incredibly dry and tends to reference a lot of aspects of Cybertronian culture the Terrans just dont know. Dot and Alex, as adults who happen to be married, are able to compare and contrast the concept to their own marriage to help the Terrans understand.
Ratchet does insist that the two are different in various ways though Dot is quick to hammer home that the important part is that its a special ceremony only to be launched with a special person you deeply love romantically. Something Ratchet agrees with and makes clear that while he wants the Terrans to understand what a Conjunx Endura IS, they're far far too young to pursue anything of the like and are definitely too young to learn about the Conjux Ritus, the set of rituals meant to tie two Conjux Endura together.
Alex and Dot thanks Ratchet for letting them learn about something so personal to the Cybertronians but do ask, out of curiosity, why the others were so flustered about it. Ratchet explains that because Conjunx are so personal many consider it an embarrassing subject to broach in mixed and professional company, and asking a bot you dont know really well about their conjunx or whether or not they have one is considered tactless and even rude. When asked why he isn't embarrassed about the subject, he explains carefully that he actually has a conjunx of his own and "after a million years together the embarrassment of the subject just sorta wears off" though he doesnt pursue the subject of his Conjunx any further.
Instead he changes subject and tell Dot and Alex to keep in mind that the Conjunx Endura can go wrong. On Cybertron there were bad actors who would lure unsuspcted bots into forming a Conjunx for favors, gain social standing, or other perks. At best they'd then abandon them allowing the victim to make an appeal and get the whole thing nullified, but at its worse it could trap bots into loveless onesided connections, or a toxic relationship.
Ratchet is surprised to find that Dot and Alex are shockingly accepting of this, saying that sadly marriage amongst humans can run much the same risk.
Alex even making a small comment like, "Just like my soap operas/stories!"
Again they thank Ratchet for telling them all this, and for looking after the kids by making sure they're informed.
Dot tries to prompt the kids to thank Ratchet only to discover most of the group had long since gotten distracted at some point in the conversation with only Nightshade and Jawbreaker really paying attention throughout the whole thing.
Alex tries to apologize but Ratchet responds with some dry humor that having at least 2/5 of young bots fully paying attention throughout the whole explanation is actually a pretty good turnout and that they can try explaining the whole thing to the others again "in due time."
They're then interrupted by the announcement that Breakdown has arrived at the Maltos house.

Aaaashhhh!! Final hours!! Thank you for all your service Charity!!
I remember a while back you said that ennea 3s often think of themselves as not being good enough to be 3s when typing themselves (or something along those lines). Also saying that if you're struggling to find your MBTI type, but are considering an extroverted type, then you're probably extroverted because most introverts wouldn't even consider potentially being extroverted, whereas the other way around is much more common. Oh and also that most ennea 6s sort of deny their 6ness when initially seeking out their type.
Do you have any other neat little bits of self typing advice along those lines? As in, any other fun little quirks in how different MBTI/ennea types end up typing themselves?
I got maybe a half an hour left in me and then I'm crashing.
Hmm. General thoughts from human interactions of late:
1s... don't seem to mistype as much as other types, but if they do, it's often their wing. There's a big difference in their stacking, the basics summed up as -- if I am the problem and need to self-examine and correct myself, it's sp-first, and if you are the problem, it's soc first.
2s... usually mistype as 4s, and will insist upon being a 4 because it appeals to them to be "creative," while thinking it's basic human kindness to be nice to people and do kind things for them all the time ("doesn't everyone do that? it doesn't make me not a 4! I am an unselfish 4!" <- super ego thinking). If your brain is full of shoulds, you are not a 4.
3s... may think that they aren't successful enough to be a 3, because they are idolizing 3s and their productivity or achievements; but there is an inner lacking and emptiness that makes them less emotional and more objective than the other heart types, less in touch with what they want to do, as separate from what others expect from them.
4s... do not comment places and go "omg, so relatable!" or "omg, you are so right about me, this is totally me!" They hate having anyone identify with them or think they understand what it's like to be a 4. They aren't going to identify with you, find anything in common with you, or allow you to think you have accurately interpreted their work. They are frustrated cores, ergo not "sweet." They can be nice, and deep, and wonderful, but they are not eager to find other 4s.
5s.... watch and learn but rarely participate. I recently saw a (likely mistyped 6) inviting 5s in an online group to come together, meet other 5s, and form a community. All the 6s mistyped as 5s eagerly took part, but the real 5s left crickets in their wake. It was funny.
6s... will argue from every possible angle and come up with the most unlikely explanation and examine it ruthlessly while insisting it's true, ask leading questions hoping to get the answer they want, and mistype as literally everything other than 6; if you tell them they are a 6, they will doubt, challenge, and question that ad naseum. They do not win arguments so much as wear down their opponent into exhaustion. I should know. I do this. :P
7s... oddly enough can mistype as 4, but they take traumatic personal experiences and instead of making that part of their eternal brokenness, they gloss over it and tell you how "strong" it made them and turn it into a personal triumph story (re-framing x 10,000). (If you do not believe me, watch the "sexual 4" on Chestnut's 4 panel, and you will see a 7 core with a 4 fix basically doing just that, ahem).
8s... do not give two f*cks. They ignore or block what annoys them unless there's a 6 fix involved like Emeka.
9s... are a lot more stubborn, moralistic, and argumentative than most of the descriptions allow for. I've seen them get on people's cases quite a few time -- so do not think that because you stand up for yourself or tell off someone online for their bad behavior or "stir things up" that it disqualifies you from being a 9. It also surprises me how loud their secondary fix (especially 6 or 4) can be, because of their tendency to merge their agenda into their second fix.
I know it's not as "fun" as maybe you were hoping, but maybe it'll be interesting / insightful nonetheless.
Sx is not about being passionate, creative, or interesting.
Sp is more "hook up culture" than sx.
Social is not about groups; it's about communication.
You can actually tell stacking from photos and from people's writing style. Although I am just learning about the former...

hi.... i am thinking about how much sweet capn nd k_k both parallel and r an antithesis of the fun gang ..... ok ? i think ......... i will mindlessly ramble . listen to me if you want . this may or may not be coherent at all . pay me no mind ok ?
they each have like,,, 1 basic trait thats described to them
okok so i think its really funny how much theyre complete fuckin opposites ( with the person they dance with ) .
kris - quiet person by susie and king
susie - mean girl by a save point
and yk . scc are energetic smooth and silly . its in their check dialogue . stated outright
ralsei - fluffy boy by a save point
energetic - quiet
smooth - fluffy
silly - mean
real interesting thing about capn and ralseis that isnt really important . . theyre both an adjective referring to a personality trait and a surface
ummm ill just go through them in sccs order . soooo,,, sweet / kris, cap / ralsei , and k_k / susie
sorry if this doesnt make sense im bad with words .
sweet / kris . . . . so much to say . mainly about sweet .
kris isnt shown to have much of a personality atleast in game ... which makes like a lot of sense considering they dont have free will for most of them . all we reaaally know is that theyre an introvert . theyre described as not being very energetic by tori, rarely ever waking up on time for school, usually sleeping through the start of class, and preferring tori drive them to school rather then walk . noelle also makes a comment about how kris isnt usually so talkative when you select the "anything" option in the hospital and as previously mentioned, theyre described as a quiet person
sweet on the other hand, is literally "the energetic one" . their movements are a lot more exaggerated and bouncier then the others, their way of speaking is a lot more upbeat then the others, and theyre the one who follows you around for ( most of ) cyber field ,,, they also have the most dialogue out of the 3 and are real passionate about their interests, being the most into the whole rebellion thing and likely being the one who started it all . they also use multiple exclamation marks in most sentences as a way of showing how enthusiastic they are about most things !!!!! this is a little small detail i noticed but.... they r also slightly off sync with the others whenever you ask them to play a song 4 you .
cap / ralsei,,,,,,, capsei shippers dee en eye you guys are weird
ough . i have so little to say about ralsei im sorry ralsei fans . ok anyways
ralsei is "the nice one" of the group i think . he tries to convince you to spare everyone, hes generally the most polite, and is maybe the tiniest bit naive in chapter 1, having to learn by the end that he cant trust everyone . even though hes nice, hes never exactly shown to be cowardly unlike most "nice" characters !!! he doesnt stand down to most enemies and is generally a lot less scared of . actual life threatening situations then a teenager should be .
cap'n on the other hand,,, is . the reason the game got a higher rating in japan because he says a statue looks like shit . capn is,,, from what ive seen, the least liked of the trio for coming off as rude in a lot of his dialogue ( hes just some guy i think ) . hes the most upfront about thinking you helped kidnap noelle, mocking you and making comments about it all throughout the first part of the game ( even trying to scam you because of it !!! ) . he also talks in a less formal way then ralsei does and makes several comments that are accidentally taken as flirty towards noelle ( hes just a little bit of a dumbass hes not a p/do . . targetted i see you freaks ) . hes basically shown to be willing to do anything if it benefits him and the others, trying to scam, trick, and appeal towards girls in an attempt to earn more money . hes also not a fan of fighting, and is reffered to as a coward by sweet for not really wanting to fight physically, even suggesting towards the start of the fight to just wait for other bad guys to come around . hes silly i love capn he reminds me of my best friend
cakes / susie .... i have so much to say about k_k you have no idea so many people get his character entirely wrong and it pisses me off . infact im breaking the pattern and starting with him because i have very little to say about susie and also fuck you
k_k is, in every way, kind of a doormat . they let people shortchange them, purposefully try and make themselves shorter to be less intimidating, and dont really wanna cause any trouble like at all . they try and make themselves sillier so they arent perceived as some sort of threat or something to be scared of ( considering theyre like 10ft tall . i did the math hes like 7 in his sprite and based on nelnals art, like 10'2 ) . hes the exact opposite of susie in every way !! k_k is tall and tries to make himself more approachable, giving you bagels for free if you dont have the money, trying to appeal to everyone by never really giving sweet or capn an answer that supports eithers argument, and just,, generally being a lot more polite then the other 2, despite the others best efforts . theyre also the first to try and cheer sweet up after they lose their battle, saying that they won because their dancing was better !!! a lot of trying to be smaller and appear as less mature likely comes from a place of anxiety,, as they only ever really speak whenever spoken to directly, try to stay on everyones good side, and have the least amount of dialogue out of the 3 by, like, 10%, most times them speaking being short, straightforward answers rather then them talking unprovoked
susie is,, kind of a smaller person trying to make herself seem bigger and scarier . she puts on a tough persona and is an asshole to most people who arent her friends, getting aggressive whenever people she perceives as threats bother her or the others and being a lot snarkier then the other 2 . towards ralsei and kris shes,, still pretty aggressive but its more in a playful way . she teases them often and is the only reason ralsei and her ever get an act option, because she points out how theyre not dumb and they can act by themselves . shes,, pretty much just any teenager with her friends
scc also think of themselves as the main characters . they make a constant attempt to act as so, trying to fight the fun gang because they think they helped the queen kidnap noelle, but in the end they just arent ,,, enough .
the fun gang r kinda just. kids who probably just wanna be kids but Cant because they kinda have this whole prophecy thing on their backs (susie and kris especially) and didnt really . choose to be the main guys .
i think,,, them being opposites is also a huge reason why scc being adults is so important to me . of course you can hc them as any age !!! but thinking of them as kids because theyre immature is,,,, boring as fuck . making them adults ties in a lot more with all of these opposites . thinking of them as adults who never really grew up would act as a sort of antithesis to the fun gang being teenagers who r growing up a little too fast and its soo... fun to play with . its fun to explore why they never matured like a lot of other people or if theyre just a little immature naturally !! theyre silly and theyre fun and theyre so entertaining to me i wanna put them under a microscope and study them ...
scc being adults who never grew up and the fun gang being teenagers who r growing up too fast is so fun to me i think . scc try so desperately to be the "main characters" . to be important . to be those guys . while the fun gang didnt even really try !!!! kris and susie just wanted to get chalk and got sucked into a huge prophecy thing in a world they didnt even know existed and i just . idk this is probably incomprehensible at this point sorry . i jusy think the fact theyre opposites is really fun and i dont think enough people notice it
tldr kris is quiet and introverted , sweet is energetic and ( likely ) loud judging from how they talk
ralsei is nice but not timid or cowardly at all, while a lot of capns dialogue is accidentally rude and hes literally called a coward ingame,
and susie tries to make herself bigger and scarier while k_k wants to be viewed as non-threatening and friendly as possible
thanks for listening to my autism rant . if you care .

The Eight Evil Thoughts // OT8
Part 6: Lust
Tumblr media
You were a firm believer that when you died you were bound to go to heaven…but what happens when you get casted straight down to hell. Before kneeling before the most famous evil thought/leader you run into the other evil thoughts along the way.
“You knew who I was when I offered the apple. Yet you still took a bite. Admit it. Sin is delicious.”
🌹Pair: Reader x ????
🌹Genre: Angst, Thriller, Possible Yandere, Suggestive, Religion Talk, Cursing, Suggestive
🌹Word Count: 4.6k
💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
“How did it go?”
Yeosang set his glass of water down on his desk. Clearly annoyed that you had broken his drone. Knowing he spent so much time on it, now he needed to start all over. He shrugs his shoulders.
“It went…It just went. They are very swayed. I can see why Wooyoung spent such time playing with them. It’s fun.”
The silver eyed man looked at Yeosang with a glance of sympathy on his face. Bending down to pick up the broken drone pieces that flew everywhere. Gathering all the stray pieces, placing them neatly on his desk.
“What do you think he will do when he gets to them?”
Yeosang looks up at the silver eyed man, curious. The man lets a small smile grace his face as if he's slightly worried himself.
“I’m not too sure. He’s unpredictable, you know that. Plus they are a sore spot for him.”
Yeosang slightly shakes his head in a nodding motion.
“You know it’s almost time for them…soon we will all be summoned.”
Yeosang looks up at the older man. Not saying anything. His eyes drift back to his desk in front of him.
“Are Mingi and Jongho going to get in trouble?”
Letting out a sigh the man dusts his hands off on his pants. Throwing Yeosang one more glance before making his way towards the door to exit.
“Mingi no, Jongho he might get scolded. You know how that goes though.”
Nodding his head, Yeosang turns back, fully focusing on his project in front of him.
💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Your body moves like it’s out of your control. Like someone else is in your mind pulling the strings of what movements to do. Your spine prickles with sharp pieces of pain. The glass never shattered when Yeosang pushed you through yet you felt what the impact on the glass would’ve been like. Your voice was caught in your throat no matter how bad you wanted to scream you could not. You couldn’t even make a sound. It feels like you are falling through a time loop, it’s all dark, all you constantly see is the flashing memory of what led up to when Yeosang pushed you through.
Suddenly a hand grabs the back of your shirt pulling you towards whoever it is. Your body wants to fight back so bad yet you have no control over your mind… yet alone the signals it should be sending to your body. The hand on your back is warm; it liters your body with goosebumps. The feeling is unlike any other thing you’ve felt down here.
Yanking you out of the loop. Your body feels like it’s in the falling motion, finally you are able to make a sound feeling like you now have control over your body. You let out a small yelp, bracing yourself to come in contact with the ground yet you are being held in the air. An arm hooked around your upper body while another arm is hooked under your knees. You let out a deep breath, relaxing into the body that was holding you. The firm chest beneath your head, the scent that’s coming off of the person beneath you is so relaxing and appealing. You take in a deep breath trying to gather the scent, wanting to permanently burn it into your brain.
A light chuckle comes from the person. Your eyes shoot open realizing that this is reality you are far from dreaming you are in a persons arms, inhaling their scent like they are a drug. You look up slowly to be met with the lovingest face you’ve ever seen. His eyes were a solid blue color, once again no pupil. He was smiling down at you. His smile was blinding yet so addicting. His aura just gave off home. Everything about this man was so comforting. Very different then when you were put in the trance by Woo. It felt right but this…this feels like it was meant to be.
“You okay there Tiny?”
You slightly open your mouth to reply but his voice is like music to your ears. It’s so relaxing in a comforting way. Mouth gaping like you are a fish out of water. Smile still gracing his face.
“Yea…yea I’m okay.”
You clear your throat, blood rushing to your cheeks. Tips of your ears turning red. Still slightly embarrassed you were cozied up in a random mans arms.
“Would you like me to put you down?”
“If you could please…?”
He tilts your body so your feet touch the ground first. Waiting for you to stabilize yourself before he lets your upper body go. You brush your shirt down, worried that the man caught a glimpse of some skin that you may have accidentally exposed. You glance up at him. He is staring at you with such a big smile. You can’t help but get flustered under his gaze. It’s so intense but not in a negative way.
“Thanks you know…for pulling me out of there…I was worried I’d be stuck forever.”
Finishing off your sentence with a nervous chuckle.
“It’s no problem. I know how Yeosang can get at times. He’s touchy.”
He bends down, his lips brush over your ear.
“Anything small can usually set him off.”
You could be imagining things but you swear you feel him lightly blow on the shell of your ear before he stands back up. It’s like you are in heaven and hell. How is everyone down here so ungodly attractive? He’s now standing before you in all his glory. You realize just how easy he towers over your body. He too was built like a God. A God you were ready to worship. You wanted to breath him in, feel him on you and underneath you.
A smile still gracing his face. He lets his tongue slowly run over his lips. Wetting them ever so lightly. You already know you are caught in whatever web he has weaved. You can feel the burn in your body for him. You close your eyes trying to control your breathing. Your heart feels like it’s going to pound out of your ears and melt into your socks. You take a step back trying to distance yourself from the smiling man.
“Are you over there Tiny? You don’t look so good?”
He says with a tempting tone. Every word he said dripped off his lips like honey. He was like a walking aphrodisiac. He steps forward slowly causing you to take a step back. You put your hands up signaling him not to come any further. Your hands are so sweaty, your stance looks like you are quivering. His voice drills into your skull igniting a feeling unlike any other.
“Please…Please don’t come any closer.”
You decide to keep your head tilted towards the floor too afraid to look up at him, knowing you’d crack at any given moment. He was drawing you in like a moth to a flame. A flirtatious smile cracks into his face.
“Baby although I love when you say please…it hurts my feelings knowing you don’t want me close. You don’t want me close Tiny? You are hurting my feelings baby.”
You continue to back up, afraid to turn around. Worried you would make eye contact with him. Hand out in front of you still trying to get him to stop walking towards you. Cocky smile plastered on his face as he continued to walk towards you. Your back bumps the wall, now realizing you have nowhere to escape to. You are now trapped. His torso comes in contact with your shaky hand. A groan slips past your lips. His chest is firm, the moment you touch him its like electricity shoots through your arm.
“You can’t even look at me baby? You are being quite rude right now. Do you still want to hurt my feelings?”
You let out a shaky breath. Trying to gather a coherent sentence. He lets out a clicking sound. Like he is upset you haven’t looked at him since he pulled you out the loop. Things are escalating so fast in such a short amount of time. He doesn’t feel like a stranger anymore, he feels like home.
“May I touch you? I won’t go any further without your permission.”
You choke on your saliva, blown away he would ask such a thing. With your eyes shut you nod your head yes. You are too drunk on him, too drunk on his firm body, too drunk on his voice. He grabs the hand that is still planted on his chest. His grip is so tender, so gentle. He rubs your wrist lightly like you are made out of glass and he’s afraid to break you.
His other hand comes up lifting a finger under your chin lifting your head so you are no longer looking at the floor. Making it so you have no other choice but to look at him, your eyelids remain shut while he has your head tilted up to look at him.
“I’m not trying to be rude…I promise I’m not.”
You choke out in a breathless tone. Eyes still shut, his hand under your chin explores your neck. Index finger slowly tracing down to the dip where your collar bone is. His feather-like touches make your body do a noticeable shiver.
“But you are being rude Tiny. I saved you the least you could do is look at me. Am I too ugly to look at? Is it my eyes? Do my eyes frighten you? Do I frighten you?”
Your heart drops in the pit of your stomach worried you offended him, made him insecure. Even though your brain is yelling at you to not listen to him, that he is simply manipulating you, how could you not listen to him? When his voice was the sweetest thing you’ve ever heard. He was a drug that you were going to abuse. Your eyes slowly open, eyelashes fluttering. You stare at him through hooded eyelids. You looked like you could swallow him whole. Like you wanted to paint him on your body. His hand leaving your collar bone comes up to trace your jawline. His thumb applies mild pressure. He could feel your pulse, the quick pace of it was like a drug to him. It was feeding his ego.
“Your eyes don’t…they don’t make me nervous. They are the most mesmerizing shade of blueI’ve ever seen…you as a whole make me nervous.”
He lets out a small chuckle, his other hand grips your hip lightly. He moves closer so there is no space between you. His body has caged you into the wall.
“You are so addicting…I ca-…I can’t really explain it.”
His hand starts to rub small circles into your hip. Attempting to make the small fire that’s in you flicker with need.
“Well try to explain it Tiny…I wanna hear how you view me.”
He says barely above a whisper, his eyes darting back and forth from your eyes to your lips.
“You…you are like a drug. I know whatever you are, whatever you are doing is bad…But it’s hard to not indulge in whatever it is you supply me with. Just being in your presence makes me feel like I’m at an all time high. It’s a feeling I never experienced…it’s a feeling I never want to forget…I want you, all of you.”
You are now breathless, his body is pinned even harder against yours, leaving nothing to the imagination. Your legs are starting to feel like jelly. His thumb slowly traces your bottom lip, pulling it down slowly. Eyes flickering up to yours. He can’t help but notice how lustfully you stare at him through your hooded gaze.
“You want all of me…yet you don’t even know my name Tiny. I could be the big bad wolf this whole time.”
You take his thumb into your mouth lightly sucking on it while keeping eye contact with him. Everything he is saying is a very clear warning: you are treading in a dangerous zone but your body doesn’t care. You want him, all of him. He slips his thumb out of your mouth. Hand now wrapping around your throat pulling you close to his face. The tips of your noses brush, taking in a deep breath you tilt your head back slightly. His thumb slowly brushes back and forth over your pulse again.
“Didn’t Yeosang warn you about us? Yet here you are…So easily giving yourself to me. Tsk tsk tsk.”
His words go in one ear and out the other. It’s like you are under a spell. You are the puppet and he’s the puppet master. He’s got you hooked on strings. His lips brush against your ear, his warmth breath wraps around the shell of your ear.
“Don’t you wanna know my name baby? I want to hear you ask me for my name.”
He places a gentle kiss on your ear. Goosebumps liter your skin but you are not sure if it’s from the kiss or the shear warning your body is sending you.
“Pl…plea…Please tell me your name. I want to know it….please.”
Your hand curls into the bottom on his shirt. Your breathing becomes labored. The room suddenly feels like it’s too small for you both to be in. Sweat drips down your spine. You can feel it slide down slowly. Your body is now alert and alive to everything around you but your head is still buzzing in bliss.
“You sound so pretty when you say please. I kinda want you to beg again Tiny but that would be rude of me when you asked so nicely. I’m Yunho but I’m famously known as Lust.”
The way he says his name has you tossing your head back fully. You feel like you are in the clouds. The room is so thick with desperation from you. You are repeating his name like it’s a mantra trying to permanently burn it into your brain.
“Go ahead baby, say my name, say my name.”
His hot breath on your ear is making your skin prickle with anticipation. You want him here, you want him now. You don’t care what his intentions are. You just know your need for him is becoming more than you can handle.
“Yunho…Yunho please do something.”
You feel him smile on the shell of your ear. He’s enjoying this game of cat and mouse. You are trying so hard to hold yourself back but your self will is slowly withering away. His hand around your throat tightens.
“You are very enticing.”
He finishes his sentence off with a deep groan. His hips buck up into yours. Driving you up the wall. You let out a pathetic whimper. Internally he is fulfilled, you are feeding his ego, serving his god complex to the fullest.
He steps back for a second, your body has become so codependent on him holding you up that your body slacks against the wall, your legs wobble to stand up right. You are panting, your body feels like you are sitting in a sauna. He hoists you up fully crushing your body against the wall, on instinct your legs wrap around his body. He’s got you pinned, his body weight is constricting you yet you don’t mind it. He lifts his hand to your throat again. Putting his nose in the base of your neck..he’s just as out of breath as you are. He inhaled, taking in your scent.
“The boys said you smelled delicious but they didn’t say how addicting your scent was. You are so small compared to me you know that? If you saw how my hand wraps around your throat with ease I think it would scare you Tiny.”
You let out a gasp. It feels like your body is in a position to scratch the surface of orgasmic bliss, all you need is the push over the edge. His words float around your body and squeeze it addictingly.
“You are so wrapped up in me, in what I am, you have no fear in this moment. I could crush your fucking wind pipe and you’d thank me for it. Isn’t that right? Tell me I’m right baby.”
His cool lips drag against your lips with every word he says. Your eyes water with pleasure; it feels like with every word he’s edging you to heaven. You are too high on him to even give him a full verbal response, letting out small moans and breathy groans you feel like you are on fire. Like your blood is lava, just coursing through you. The temptation in this man is too much to handle.
“Answer me baby. Don’t make me ask again.”
His voice drops several octaves, his index and middle finger leave your throat. Sticking them in your mouth for you to suck on.
“You are right. You are so right Yunho.”
You gargle out with his long fingers in your mouth. He tastes like heaven. His other hand is still holding you up tightly. His body weight on you is mouth watering. You slot your tongue between his fingers trying to wrap him around you. You want him to suffocate you with everything he has in him. He lets out a small breathy chuckle. His cool wet lips kiss your neck softly. A loud moan escapes your throat, more sounding like a gargle due to his fingers in your mouth. His lips feel like cold water on a hot exhausting day. Delectable.
He nips and sucks at your neck. Leaving purple marks behind. Making your eyes roll into the back of your head. He lets out a satisfactory hum.
“You know what you taste like? Sin. Sin is the most unholy thing someone can do but Sin is the most delicious thing someone can indulge in.”
You start panting, all he’s done is kiss you yet you are on the verge of what feels like the most powerful orgasm ever. His fingers leave your mouth, wrapping tightly around your throat again.
“Say my name, say my fucking name. I wanna hear you scream it.”
His head falls in the crook of your neck. Hes so close to the surface of breaking you permanently
his own body starts to get warped into the excitement. His teeth nip at your pulse point, pushing you over the edge. Your back arches so hard it slightly pushes you and him back from being plastered on the wall. The euphoric pleasure rips right through you. Scream so powerful it almost shatters the glass mirror he pulled you out from.
Your body is buzzing, it feels like you are fully engulfed in flames, now you are just crackling in the fire. All you see is white in your vision. You are so screwed and you know this, quite figuratively and literally.
While your body starts to calm down in post orgasmic bliss and relax you still feel the lust in your gut. He really is a drug. Lifting your slack body off the wall. You let out a small whine, trying your best to catch your breath. He cradles you like you are fragile. His hand is rubbing smooth circles to the back of your head. He is pressing small kisses to your temples.
“How are you feeling baby?”
You cuddle into his body further. Soaking in the aroma wafting off of him. Making yourself drunk all over again on him. With a hoarse voice you try your best to reply to him.
“I feel like I’m on cloud nine. I don’t ever want to leave here. You make me feel so whole, so loved. How can someone like that be a sin?”
Your eyes start to water. You know you sound stupid but you’ve never felt more loved than in this current moment, within those current events. He walks over to the bed in the corner of the room. Placing you softly on the mattress. He takes his time looking at you, looking at your watery eyes. He deeply inhales, brushing a soft thumb over your cheek. Which breaks the feeling in your heart. You let out a small sniffle, your eye drops one tear followed by more. His thumb swipes over the first one that falls bringing his thumb to his mouth he sucks the tear right off his thumb. Letting out a content sigh.
“Because my love I am not a sin, I am a thought.”
He plays on your insecurities. He really is like the rest. Why Yeosangs words never stick to you…You aren’t sure why. You know no one has your best interest down here yet you continue to slip into the thought of them being different, the thought of you being different.
“You are gorgeous, the prettiest thing I’ve ever seen. You are beautiful my love…But I could never love you. I could never keep you here. You’d eventually go insane. Is your sanity worth being here with me?”
You swear you hear your heart snap into a billion pieces. He was playing on your insecurities, all of them were playing chess while you were playing checkers. He lets out a small laugh, tilting his head back like you’ve just told him the funniest joke.
“Yes….yes…I rather be in a constant living state of delusion than be faced with reality. I want to be here with you…please Yunho.”
Your eyes water, lip trembling looking at him. You love him, you are sure of it. You can feel it.
“You are intoxicating Tiny. My love, my baby, my one and only.”
You sniffle lightly. His hand comes in contact with your face, he rubs his thumb across your cheek in such a loving way. His eyes speak a million words even though they are solid. You know whatever life he’s lived in the past he’s reaping now what he once sowed.
“You don’t know me my love, you don’t know what I’m capable of. Would you like to know?”
You nod your head without hesitation. You don’t even second guess your actions. He could easily snap you like a twig and you wouldn’t even be fully coherent to acknowledge it.
He lets that mesmerizing smile grace his face. He’s so addicting. You can’t get off of him. You can’t let him go. His hand wraps tightly around your throat. Your eyes staring directly into his electric blue ones. His hand gets tighter, tighter and tighter. Your breath becomes hitched, hands lifting up trying to claw off his hand around your throat. With the same hand he pulls you up making you stand up straight. Your head becomes loopy. You know soon you will be teetering between life and death.
He effortlessly picks you up, feet dangling off the ground now. He’s holding you above his head so you are staring down at him with a choked out expression. Hands still clawing at his own, you are drawing blood with how hard you are scratching him yet he doesn’t bleed red, he bleeds blue, the same color of his eyes.
“Do you still want to be with me now? Do you still love me now? Am I still worthy of love?”
Your eyes start to roll back in your head, you can’t even remember what exactly he is saying all you hear is the blood rushing in your ear. You try your best to choke out his name.
“Yu-Yunho ple-please.”
“Even in your last breath you are calling out to me my love? You are too tempting.”
He spits out through his clenched teeth. He throws you back onto the mattress, hand letting go of your throat. You take in a huge gasp of air, coughing at the sudden intake of air. Your hands come up to cup your throat, rubbing at the skin. Too dazed trying to collect yourself you don’t hear his movements. He grabs you by the front of your shirt lifting you up, crashing his lips against yours. You are so taken back by his sudden flip you don’t even register that you are kissing him back just as feverishly as he’s kissing you. Your legs wrap around his waist. Lips smacking and panting is all that is bouncing off the walls in the room. He lowers your body on the bed crushing you again with his weight. You don’t even care about the situation that happened earlier you are too enamored with him to even spare it a second thought.
His cool hands are traveling under your shirt in a hurried state. He wants you just as bad as you want him. You rip away from his face trying to gasp in as much air as you can. His head moves to your neck nipping once again at the bites he left earlier, darkening them.
“You are temptation itself, so addicting. The others were not lying when they spoke about how delicious you were. You’ve been the life of me once, yet you will be the death of me again.”
He hisses in your ear, letting his tongue run along the shell of it sending shivers down your spine. The room grows thick with need and want from the both of you. His other hand pushes your hips tightly against his own. His other hand dances around your throat again, choking you slightly while stroking lightly over your pulse. A feverish moan escapes your throat. He rests his forehead against yours. Nipping at your lips, leaving them puffy and red.
“I’m going to make sure this memory is permanently burned in your brain Tiny, you will never forget who you belong to. Because you were once mine, and you will always be mine.”
Rendering you speechless, he stands up pulling his shirt over his head tossing it behind him somewhere. His hands lower, circling small shapes on your exposed hip.
“This is my shit. You understand me?”
He dives head first back into your neck.
You two spent an eventful night together. One that he made sure that you would never forget no matter what life timeline you were in.
💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
You were laid out in his bed, chest down with the blanket wrapped around your body. Your light snores are now all that was bouncing off the walls. Yunho and the silver eyed man were standing in the doorway. Staring at your sleeping form.
“They should awaken. Should I send them to you or will you come and retrieve them?”
The silver eye man lets out a click noise.
“I’ll most likely come and retrieve them if not, then you know to send them to me.”
Yunho shakes his head in a nodding motion.
“They are every bit as enticing as I remember. I think he will be very pleased with the progress we’ve made. They are now officially broken.”
The silver-eyed man smiles, pleased in what Yunho is telling him.
“You’ve done great work Yunho. Make sure you call the others in two days. He doesn’t want to wait much longer.”
The silver eyed man turns his back, leaving the room. Making his way down the hallway stopping short of the white encrusted door. Knocking on the door making his way inside while bowing his head.
“Yunho is now finished with them. He said they are officially broken. Would you still like them to visit me? Or should we just skip it and proceed accordingly?”
The man seated before him, not even picking his head up to spare the silver eyed man a glance. Letting out a small hum, deep in thought about which way to proceed.
“Let them visit you, we shall not mess with the motion in which the course is taking. Plus Seonghwa, don't you want to play with our food a little bit before we finally sink our teeth in our meal?”
💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
👉👉👉👉👉👉 Chapter 7👈👈👈👈👈👈
Authors Note: Okay okay…So what do we think…👀👀? I had to restart this chapter so many times because of how carried away I was constantly getting. I love me some Yunho😭💙. We only got two members left now ahhh!! Now the reason why I chose Yunho…I swear his stage presence is so sexy, his gaze alone is something so captivating 😮‍💨🤤..if you disagree go talk to your eye doctor because you obviously can’t see clearly. It was so hard to stay on track writing this because Yunho is my ult bias. This man could tell me to hop off the Eiffel Tower and I’d swanton bomb head first off that mf. The thirst I had while writing this…That’s truly what delayed the original posting date😬. This man just makes me abandon all my morals in life, I’m sorry😭.
DO NOT REPOST OR MODIFY.

let’s look at the name valentinez alkalinella xifax sicidabohertz gombigobilla blue stradivari talentrent pierre andri charton-haymoss ivanovici baldeus george doitzel kaiser III and its significance to vash’s character
valentinez -> valentine -> love and peace!!!
alkalinella -> alkaline -> relating to a common disposable battery made of zinc and manganese dioxide. hmm. a battery is used by humans for power….
xifax -> internet fax service -> old technology adapted for a new generation, continuing to be of use despite others like it not being made anymore
sicidabohertz -> sicida -> suicide. vash highly disapproves of suicide
sicidabohertz also -> hertz -> hertz is the unit of frequency equivalent to one event (or cycle) per second. time does not apply to vash
gombigobilla -> gomb -> Hungarian onomatopoeia, typically referring to a button. referring to vash’s arm gun
blue -> the color of his eyes, but it’s also the opposite to his iconic red coat. red is vash’s signature color. however, the opposite of red is blue, and the opposite of vash is knives... knives is a part of his brother forever.
stradivari -> antonio stradivari was an italian craftsman of string instruments such as violins, cellos, guitars, violas and harps. he was also a luthier (repairer of instruments). you would come to him for fixing your problem, which is a broken instrument. stradivari was also at first seen as someone with unconventional ideas for violins, but was applauded later on for his innovation. vash is always seen as someone who can be manipulated into solving others’ issues (like how you see at the starting of the 90s series with the sillier filler episodes, and knives trying to use him as a weapon to wipe out the world). 
talentrent -> talent -> duh, he’s talented with a gun
pierre -> a nod to how he spoke french once while crying for “maman”
andri -> is a girls' name is of greek origin meaning "manly” and “virile". vash was created as a protagonist who has appeal for both men and women, leaving him androgynous. 
charton -> chart -> vash is creating his own morals and ethical rules for humanity. he walks an unconventional path compared to all he’s come across, and he’s navigating the waters himself. he welcomes others, but he recognizes that most of it might be spent alone due to all differences.
haymoss -> both names of plants, which rem loved
ivanovici -> ivan the great -> ivan the great was characterized as a cruel tyrant, drunk, and a misogynist, which is contradictory from his character of being a ruler of “great fairness and equity” as written by previous writers. vash’s reputation as the humanoid typhoon blackens his true personality.
baldeus -> philippus baldaeus -> created the long-held belief that the origin of european civilization started in india with hindu and buddhist origins. he was the first who told the wider european audience about krishna and the epics of ramayana and mahabharata. vash is bringing a new ideology to the people, and tries to impact them with it (seen in all episodes where he begs others to not kill, because he doesn’t believe they should). but vash’s arguments don’t normally have an impact on the people around him unlike philippus baldaeus (until it’s too late…)
george -> the name derives from the greek words “earth/soil” and “work”. another nod to the plant appreciation vash had along with rem.
doitzel -> ditz -> a scatterbrained or eccentric person. vash puts on a ditzy persona while harboring a deep sadness.
kaiser -> kaiser is the german word for "emperor". In general, the title applies to rulers anywhere in the world above the rank of king. vash can be seen as a prophet-like figure. he can be considered above all humanity, being inhuman himself but also being one of the few people to cherish human life.
and as @roronoarica pointed out, in the notes “the III has also a meaning then! He is the third independent plant besides Tesla and Knives” that was a good one 😼

Some Thoughts post ACOSF and pre HOFAS
I have just finished my re-reading of the Acotar saga and I come to make a "brainstorming" of data and ideas that I want to put down in writing before HOFAS
there is a lot of repetition of the dates "more than 10000 years ago" and especially in Acosf "since 15000 years ago" I suppose that they will be to match the dates of the world of Acotar with the world of CC, although there are certain things that do not fit at the moment.
There are several data that change from ACOWAR to ACOSF , why ? Because I believe that they will be relevant in the future, these data are (that I have seen) 1 that in ACOWAR Lucien does not arrive until the lake of koschei but in ACOSF it is said that yes he has arrived / 2 the recap of what happened in Sangravah / 3 the subject of Illyria and the difference between the teaser of ACOFAS and the first chapter of ACOSF
to this day I still don't understand Rhys's "you-always-have-a-choice" behavior in ACOSF, sorry I don't
The secret winged baby and Renesme 2.0 plot continues to be horrible.
I do not understand how people do not shipe Vassa and Jurian, simply with the phrase "do not call her queen that goes to her head" (not the literal phrase, I'm writing from memory do not eat me) I'm already sold, I can understand the ship of Jurian-Vassa-Lucien, I do not share it but I understand it but leave out the banter that has Vassa with Jurian? No,sorry
I don't want Rhys as High king, and I don't know why I think that because of the decline of Tamlin that it will happen.
Bryaxis hello ??? Where is he? He appeared in ACOFAS and then was never heard from again , and who or what was he before he was Bryaxis ???? Fionn??
I need to know the full story of Eris, I need to know what she hides, right now you tell me that ACOTAR5 is from her POV and I'll be happy to read it (very unlikely I know).
Why the carved beasts of hewn city are the same as the "beast form " of Rhys and at the same time are the same as the Hounds of the Great Hunt ?? And why is no one talking about this? I need answers
Narben, where are you ??? (maybe it is Danikq's sword ???)
Nesta can still use the 3 trove ???? Yes ? No? Will Elain use them ? Will Bryce use them ?(I think so ) what will happen when the 4 troves are united ????
The shipons and invoke stones work with firstlight, that "pure" and raw magic that the Illyrian have is actually firstlight, are they a failed experiment of the Daglan/Asteri ? Yes
Daglan= Asteri
Enalius died in a battle against the Daglan trying to protect Ramiel's black stone (or monolith), what is that???? Whyyy?
Ramiel is hollow (and has the Daglan palace??)
Touching Ramiel's stone when winning the great rite heals all the wounds of the one who touches it, Emerie's wings are healed ???? Will she fly again? I hope she will be healed (by Ramiel stome or by Thesan) because she said she was in pain from time to time.
The only thing this fandom agrees on is that Mor and Emerie are going to end up together and they haven't even spoken to each other (that we have seen) just because Emerie called Mor beautiful.
Controversial topic, I understand partly the Elriels. Does Azriel like Elain? Yes, in Acosf that is clear, in Acofas it is intuited although he still likes Mor. Does Elain like Azriel ? Yes, she does. Now I think they will end up together ? No. Why? Because of the scene in Acosf where Az says that the troves have a darkness that Elain shouldn't get close to and Cas responds but Nesta should ? (Not literal phrases, I'm writing without looking at the book ) sorry but what I like about the Maas guys is that they give you options, do you want to do something dangerous ? I don't really like it but if you do I support and help you , the ultimate example of this is Rhys. If you take away that possibility of choice for me that couple loses all appeal (that's why I haven't put up with Rhys half of Acosf) now well if the book ends up being Elriel ?(Which I don't think so and as of today I don't want to ) congrats to them, sure Mass makes me fall in love with their story too. (But at the level of the overall plot if what was said in 2021 is maintained, that the two remaining books of acotar were to be narrated each by a couple, it makes no sense that acotar5 is Elriel because then the trilogy closing ? Whose is it? Lucien's and Vassa's ? And you spend the last book (confirmed for the moment) without any POV of the IC, sorry but it does not attract me at all)
Elain, I really want Elain Book i need her Pov, I still think that Elain is going to end up with his mate ? Yes, that Elain doesn't want anything to do with Lucien ? Yes too. Why do I think they will end up together ( and that their story will be a sort of marriage of convenience / force proximity ) because when Cassian reveals his mate bond to Nesta, Nesta resents the word Mate because it would mean giving up the last of her humanity, Nesta. Now imagine the trauma of Elain who not only didn't want to be Fae but was also engaged and the first thing she learns is that she has become FAE (and therefore goodbye to her life as a human ) and that she has mate (which takes her away from her engagement ). To me Elain doesn't reject Lucien because of her persona, but because Lucien means accepting 100% that she is FAE and I think that's something Elain has not yet done.
Maas highlights interactions where Gwyn and Az appear and does not highlight any interaction between Az and Emerie (compare the two scenes when they go to cut the ribbon) why does she do that ? Well, let everyone draw their own conclusions
ACOTAR 5 : Azriel +gwyn
ACOTAR 6: Elain + Lucien ( koschei dies here , in charge of killing him Elain and Vassa )
Characters that I think are going to die in this saga: 1 Helion (sorry I love you but you have all the ballots to die ) 2 Amrem and Varian, I explain myself, I think the IC is not going to survive whole again, I think Azriel and Cassian are not going to die, Mor has a story to tell (from what is sensed in Acofas and Acosf) and the novella I think will be hers, so the options to die are Feyre and Rhys (who could because they already have an heir, but Mass loves Rhys so I doubt it) and finally Amrem who I think is the one who will die (this time for real) and Varían will also die because separating lovers is very cruel.
Sorry for any mistakes english is not my first language

Me again! I think it goes without saying Sonic Frontiers had some great writing and fixed a lot of characters. Assuming the writing stays the same, who do you think should be the next character to have their personality fixed? I think Shadow!
Hello again anon! Oho! I absolutely agree with you there - I think Shadow needs some depth the most out of the cast right now. Silver is mostly fine - he just needs things to do, Rouge is pretty consistent - but each game will use a slider to determine how selfish or not selfish she is, and Blaze... yeah she's fine, just give her some damn screentime.
Shadow is the glaring, gaping hole that needs to be addressed. So in a world where I somehow snuck into SEGA headquarters and wrote Shadow's character for the next game - I wanted to say how I'd approach his character:
The less appealing way, to me, is to make him act back how he was in the 06 era. I LOVE 06 Shadow, he's my favourite Shadow - but that version of him is a far cry from the personality we've seen from him in the past decade. I wouldn't complain if this happened but I think there's a smarter way to go about this.
In much the same way as Tails was dealt with - I would achknowledge Shadow's portrayals in the latest games and comics - all his assholery, all of his fat ego in the way, and just not giving a damn about the people around him because SEGA decided he's not allowed to have friends now.
So take this asshole, and what do you do with him?
You humble him.
You get him a villain that just absolutely wrecks shop and kicks his shit in so hard that he's forced to rethink his life decisions. Let Shadow be confident entering in - like it's a rehash of Shadow vs. Infinite - but unlike with Infinite, this antagonist trumps him in every single way. This man's ego needs to be stripped the fuck down for any change in his character to happen.
He gets his ass beaten so hard that Sonic, Rouge, Omega or WHOEVER has to come save him, and they have to retreat
Cowards run, I win - Okay bitch, let me put you in a situation you're forced to run from. Is your outlook the same?
The game ensues with Shadow basically being hellbent on destroying this antagonist and trying to fall back into his old habits - but as the story goes on it becomes increasingly clearer that he needs the help of his allies.
Bonus points - I'd want a scene where Shadow's behaviour is actually called out by any of the prior characters, or hell - you want a callback? Let Amy do it - but I want a character to say to his face just how much of a nuisance he's been.
He learns to realise throughout the plot that those around him are not a burden - and are in fact very useful, he learns more about each of his peers - and sees that they all want to give him their friendship and that hey - kindness is kind of nice, actually. Maybe Shadow can admit to why he's been acting the way he has to Rouge and Omega - and finally recieve some damn consoling
I think of a fear of getting close to people is a viable explanation considering a certain blonde 12 year old. Shadow's moved on from tying himself to Maria's last dying wish - but it's undeniable that she and her death has impacted his psyche in many more ways. I hate to beat a dead horse but just as with Tails' recent cowardice in Forces - I did want to explain his turn in character.
In the end - he's able to defeat the villain with the help of his friends. He doesn't end the story with a completely different personality - not at all. On the other end, he's still got a large ego and he's our usual broody blunt man - but he's come out of the story with the realization that it's okay to be vulnerable and lean on others when he needs it. His strongest bonds are still with Rouge and Omega - and he makes the move to properly repair his relationship with them - officially forming Team Dark that will move forward together from now on.
Shadow isn't attached by the hip to them, per say - he has his independence streak, but now - he does actually have at least 2 friends that he works with frequently. But I hope his bond with the others would get to be strengthened as well. His relationship with Sonic is still complicated, but a little less hostile on Shadow's end now.
So yeah, SEGA decided Team Dark aren't a team anymore - so fuck it, I'll just make them a team a second time because I care too much.
Sorry I went on a tangeant because of your ask, anon! But this was really fun to explore. Thank you so much for the question :)

Compiling and analyzing Dave’s reptilian qualities
Ok so I have done a lot of analysis on DSAF Dave. Like more than I probably should have given that part of his appeal is that we don’t know what the fuck this man is. As you probably know my leading theory is that he’s some kind of alien.
But let’s cast the theories relating to what Dave actually is aside for a moment, and focus more on what Dave is very heavily implied to look like.
Yes, we do get art of how he looks in the game, and that is where I am getting a lot of my evidence for what he might realistically look like, however since these depictions are drawings, all semi, but not completely realistic, some missing important details that we do know.
Dave is most comparable to a combination between a lizard and a human, more along the lines of being just a humanoid lizard rather than a fusion. I guess lizard people don’t run the government, they just work at shitty pizza places.
Now Dave being not human is one of the few things we know for sure, not only is it pretty clear that just simply deformities, even in a fictional setting, probably can’t make a person look, and function the way Dave does. Not only that but Doggo himself has stated Dave to be a Cryptid, which is not a species, rather in this context I think just means he’s an inhuman humanoid who just kind or coexists.
Now that we’ve got the not being human out of the way, let’s talk about what a hyperrealistic rendition of Dave Miller would look like, in reference to him being reptilian, comparing his physical traits to one’s that exist in the real world to paint a picture of how he’d look.
First things first, general body shape. We know from a lot of art and his sprites that Dave is rather slim, in fact, most of the cloths he wears seem to give off the impression of being too big, or at least too wide. This, alongside his coiled neck has made me see Dave as being particularly snakelike, and in fact, I think that his neck would look like the body of a snake. As for his head, while I don’t recall ever seeing it from the side, from the front it’s very humanlike, although it may be more reptilian from a side view, we just don’t know that, however I find it likely it simply is very humanlike.
As for facial features, this is where it gets more snakelike. Dave does not have visible ears (he likely has ear holes on the sides of his head), he does not have a visible nose (it could be a very narrow snakelike one), and weirdly, he doesn’t show his teeth often, but we do know Dave probably has teeth because there is one image of him in the tapes in which he had human teeth, so Dave does have human teeth. Dave’s face is also visibly wrinkled.
To get into a detail I have not yet talked about, his hands. Dave’s hands are very interesting as they are probably the part of him the most similar to a real animal that isn’t a human. Dave has long fingers, and no visible fingernails, which is important because all primates have fingernails, unlike most other species which tend to have either talons, claws, or neither. On top of not having visible fingernails his fingers also come to a sharp point.
Tumblr media
These strange hands have an almost exactly matching real world counterpart.
Tumblr media
The hands of a marine iguana. Of course Dave’s fingers are longer and the composition is more humanlike, but it’s not a stretch that something with hands like the marine iguana could evolve to have hands like Dave’s.
Now, the point I’ve been sort of dancing around. Dave is purple. He also has purple blood, which is not seen in reptiles but does exist, although that’s not relevant right now because his blood has absolutely nothing to do with his pigment. Dave says ingame that he has a “scaly hyde”, I believe sometime during the good route of the third game. Dave is purple because his scales are purple. Scales are a thing seen on no actual depictions of Dave, but he definitely does have them, it’s something that’s always peeved me because he’s never drawn with arguably one of his key inhuman traits. This also means that Dave probably canonically CANT grow hair due to a lack of follicles. Now the size and shape of Dave’s scales is not known but I do believe they are probably relatively small and flat to his body. Also as a side note, I take Dave’s multiple shades on his body as canon under the belief that Dave has multiple shades of purple scales.
Now, why is he purple. This question actually matters quite a lot. There are 3 possible answers. The first is camouflage, unlikely and in fact impossible unless he comes from a place in which purple is a common pigment. The second is sexual selection, specifically akin to that of the peacock, the bright colour of the male peacock is due to the females of the species finding that trait desirable for the exact reason that it’s not, since the bright colours make it easier to be spotted by predators only the strongest survive, the brighter the pigment the stronger the bird would have to be, and thus to survive with this bright pigmentation means the peacock is genetically better as a mate than ones with duller pigments because in a counterintuitive way it actually means the offspring will have more overall fitness, Dave being bright purple could be a similar strange evolutionary path. The final reason Dave could be purple is that it could potentially be a warning sign, it’s common in nature to not want to be seen so having a bright, rare pigment is never ideal, unless you WANT to be noticed as part of a survival strategy, in order to encourage larger predators to avoid eating them many animals develop not only poison or venom, but a bright colour as well, it’s less common with venom because venom is less defensive more offensive, but reptiles are rarely actually poisonous and far more likely to just have a deadly bite, and that’s not to say none employ this warning sign, I’m not saying Dave is venomous but I’m also not saying he isn’t.
This is all the reptile Dave evidence I have thus far although I may find more. Now you are all ready to invision what a realistic rendition of DSAF’s Dave Miller would look like.

SVSSS thoughts; luo binghe’s mbti
by general consensus he’s an ESFJ but after thorough analysis he’s totally an ISFP. i’ve decided to post my essay (rant? argument? spam?) here because i wanted to archive the thoughts i have.
please be nice :)
Tumblr media
Luo Binghe, being the manipulative bastard he is, has fooled you all (not unlike how he fools his husband daily), into thinking he is an ESFJ, when it is as clear as day that he is an ISFP.
Fe > Fi
In terms of Luo Binghe, the largest (and subsequently most obvious) difference between his perceived Fe, and his actual Fi, relates back to the basic premise of functions;
Although referred to as ‘feeling’, Fi, contrarily, is not based on those deep emotions, but rather on the values that come from within. It’s a decision-making process that is based on one’s own moral code, the strict observance of one’s ethics and relates to how the treat others. Fe, on the other hand, is a communication that is focused outwardly and is primarily based on conforming to society’s mould by mirroring the behaviours of those around them. I’ve seen a million (admittedly stupid) arguments on how Binghe uses his “Fe” like this, and that he’s a people pleaser that is constantly striving for the praise of everyone around him. To which I can say with certainty that, while he definitely has people-pleasing tendencies, they all focus themselves around one person, Shen Qingqiu. This itself is a key distinction in the Fe vs Fi argument. While FeSi users appeal to almost everyone to maintain a positive reputation, Fi users will focus their attentions onto people they like or are hoping to get to know better, say perhaps, a love interest. And while both people-please, Fi users will be more intense and will often reserve their people-pleasing habits for that “special” person. Binghe is noted, by even the ever-unobservant Shen Qingqiu, to change his behaviours around Qingqiu. He displays a lack of care towards anyone that isn’t Qingqiu, even when he was a well-liked disciple of Cang Qiong Peak, not caring about displaying a ‘nicer’ side of himself to anyone, save for if he thinks Shen Qingqiu would be upset should he treat people the way he wants to treat them. That is to say, with total indifference (which is shown by shown by his attitudes towards Liu Mingyan and Liu Qingge when he deems them threats to his relationship with Shen Qingqiu, and the Qin sisters’ treatment when Shen Qingqiu isn't around to praise him, these people being in relative positions of power over him, yet he continues to treat them indifferently). Shen Qingqiu picks up on a particularly over example of this, where he notices that Binghe’s “expression changed faster than a flipped page” and that he had been “all tender affection the moment before, but in the next, contempt filled his features”, which falls directly into the Fi people-pleasing basket, not caring about making himself look good to anyone that isn’t Qingqiu.
Fi user’s faces also tend to betray them when they’re trying to hide their emotions, and despite Binghe seeming to try very hard to leave a good impression on others for the sake of his beloved Shizun, he is generally horrid at hiding things from him, even stating it himself (“I didn’t want to ... but I can never control myself in front of Shizun”). The Shizun in question is (by general consensus) an INTP, which means his inferior function is Fe. The fact that he can read Binghe so easily despite his dreadful Fe, says a lot about the transparency of Binghe’s emotions. Fe users will not struggle with this so much as an Fi user would, simply because instead of needing to hide their emotions, Fe users will not feel them as deeply as an Fi user would. Fe users hide themselves for the sake of others, but also because they struggle to comprehend those emotions in the first place. Luo Binghe, like any Fi dom, attempts to put on that polite mask, and for the most part is successful, but in relation to Qingqiu, always fails due to the depth of his emotions regarding him. Binghe doesn’t struggle with this at all, and nor does he use this feature in an attempt to appeal to others (or namely, his Shizun). When Binghe wants something, he doesn’t try to appeal to others or emphasise his care towards their feelings. So how does he get the emotional reaction that he so clearly desires you ask? By drawing appeal with his own emotions. To put it simply, Binghe manipulates others through the presentation of his own emotions to get what he wants (crying all over Qingqiu when he wants something, projecting his anger to dominate others etc), in comparison to the more common Fe desire to appeal to other’s emotions through empathy (or in an unhealthy way, coercion and deterrence. An Fe will pretend they’re giving you well-meaning advice, which is entirely superficial, whereas Fi cries until you give them what they want). Binghe is well aware of the lack of control he faces in regards to his emotions, and weaponizes this to his advantage.
But that’s not the end of the evidence of Binghe’s Fi behaviours. Yet another large indicator of Binghe’s Fi, is his belief systems. Of course, having Shen Qingqiu as the largely unreliable narrator he is, discerning Binghe’s personal morals and behaviours is rather difficult, but we have some clear-cut things that can’t really be changed through perspective. For example, take Binghe’s ‘minor’ tantrum that involved destroying the realms at the end of the novel. An Fi dom’s belief systems often stem from personal feelings and experiences, a certain “black and white” view on behaviours and morals will often be applied when thinking about ethics of oneself and others, meaning that when Binghe decides to destroy the world since they had hurt him for being poor, for being a demon, for just being so unlovable that everyone around him abandoned him, the shades of grey within the spectrum aren’t considered and the realms are wholly pushed into the ‘evil’ category. Binghe is also very decisive when it comes to his morals and the subsequent actions he takes because of his aforementioned views. An Fi user like Binghe will judge others based off what they’ve seen of them, rather than the common Fe desire to align their morals with the group to connect with them and maintain harmony in that social sphere, explaining rather plainly his thought process that mostly went along the lines of “the world deserves to be destroyed, it was so cruel to me for something entirely out of my control” (Fi users are more likely to disrupt this social harmony when faced with injustice, which is exactly what Binghe does time and time again)). Binghe takes this judgement and decisively begins his plan to end the world, taking control of Huan Hua Palace, misleading the cultivation assembly into believing Tianlang-jun is to blame for the eventual world destroying rift caused by Xin Mo, and all around, getting straight to business. No time for dilly-dallying when your Luo Binghe and you’re trying to eliminate the world for being wholly evil!
Si > Se
I’ve seen far too many blatantly stereotypical arguments for Si on this profile and felt the need to remind everyone that despite having a large focus on the past (which is where most of the Si arguments come from), Binghe ultimately uses those memories to work towards a future where “evil” (read; the realms he’s classified as such) is eradicated, a massive indication of his Fi working together with Ni, his tertiary function.
To dive back into the basics of Se, some common behaviours of an Se user are as follows; taking action before thinking about future consequences, manipulation or use of the ‘system’ to one’s advantage and jumping at the chance to be active/ do something exciting.
Despite Binghe actively working towards creating a future where evil is eliminated, many of Binghe’s actions are rather impulsive. A good example of this impulsivity is his reaction to the accusations thrown at Shen Qingqiu in Jinlan city. Rather quickly does he take control of the situation and presents the assembled people with a solution (one that only worked in his favour). Another is the use of the Black Moon Rhinoceros Phythons from the Holy Mausoleum arc. Luo Binghe’s general thought behind that stroke of genius was something like, can’t get into the Holy Mausoleum? Find something big, find it fast, and just to knock down the walls (because there is absolutely nothing that can go wrong with that!).
In reference to the manipulation/use of the system for his benefit, I find that to be the best example of his Se, and since he’s someone who has been exploited by the way the cultivation world works before, he clearly understands the perfect way to make it align with his goals. He uses the prejudice and leftover fear everyone holds for Tianlang-jun to mask his own puppet work in destroying the realms at the end of the novel. He takes control of Huan Hua Palace and uses their name and respect to draw sympathy and support to him through the Jinlan city and Water Prison arc, even using his own status as a poor disciple who was harmed by his Shizun to his advantage. He realises he’s essentially invincible by the end of the novel, his only weakness himself, and takes the narrative into his own hands and forces it to bend to his desire for destruction, eliminating anyone who stands in his way (including his beloved Shizun).
In reference to Binghe’s clear desire to be doing something, anything, that’s probably where many get his perceived Si from, since everyone is saying his desire to keep things clean is an Si thing (a blatant stereotype, and a harmful one too). Binghe is usually doing something, whether it be cooking for Shen Qingqiu, training at Qing Jing Peak even when his instruction manual was useless when he was a disciple, cleaning the Bamboo house at Qing Jing Peak, simply adjusting his sleeves every 5 seconds, or even going off to fight the Bai Zhan disciples. This clear willingness to be doing something, anything, is so incredibly Se, especially when combined with his near constant assessment of everything around him (even in his own dreamscape!), and his protagonist golden finger fighting skills. Quite the force to be reckoned with he is.
Ne > Ni
I’ll keep this one small since it’s a Tertiary function and this post is getting too long anyway. Probably the biggest indication of Binghe’s Ni Tert is his ‘grand’ visions of the future, like a world that doesn’t exist anymore since it’s evil (again, back to the Fi). Even as a young disciple at Qing Jing Peak, Binghe always aspired to be by his Shizun’s side, something even he recognised as delusional and rather difficult to achieve, but a vision of the future, nonetheless. Then Shen Qingqiu’s death/reincarnation/death/reincarnation cycle abruptly put a spanner in the works, and Luo Binghe’s grandiose ideas started bubbling down to ‘destroy the realms’, which, had it been anyone else, would have been impossible. But he’s Luo Binghe, the protagonist who has these aspirations towards worldly eradication, and the only thing stopping him was quite literally himself, a terrifying realisation for the reader. You spend the whole novel dreading Luo Binghe becoming the antagonist, and just when you think he’s been pulled out of it due to the pressure put on him by the cultivation world? He smiles and adjusts his sleeves and begins to end the world. His Ni presents itself in subtler ways, usually through the use of his Fi. That running commentary in the back of his mind that supplies him with subjective observations, often works together with his Fi to hand judgement to the world and the people within it, most plainly shown when he <3
Of course, Binghe’s use of his functions is the indication of a very (!) unhealthy ISFP, which is why he’s so often mischaracterised by the fandom. You could make an argument for INFP, which would be more believable than ESFJ. I might comeback to make another post on his instinctual variant since I have some thoughts on that too.

*The bunny surprisingly doesn’t last long, and only manages to get 5 (and a half??) capsules out before falling and getting buried in them*
*The bunny giggles chaotically, before calming down and speaking with a soft whine*
I’m cold down here I don’t like this :(
*Her paws reveal themselves from the small pile and she pitifully reaches for Kim.*
-🐇 (Hopefully no longer hexed)
Aw... come 'ere.
*Crouching down completely, Kim brushes the capsules aside, letting them clunkily roll before settling naturally. Once she's unearthed the bunny, she picks her up, holding her close to her chest with one arm.*
There, that should be better, right? Let's see what you got...
*The five (and a half) capsules are mostly new colors, save for the half capsule, which is also a mossy green. Kim squints at it distrustfully and picks it out first, and when she lifts it, another knife slides out- this time different looking, and clearly freed with far less effort. Kim turns her hand to peer inside the capsule, taking note of a sort of sparkily darkness that very quickly seems to evaporate from within.*
That's odd...
Tumblr media
*Shrugging, she puts it down and picks up the new knife, extending and rotating it so the bunny can get a better look from her position. It seems to be a pretty normal knife, although in one of the weirder design choices Kim's ever seen, the handle seems to have detailing resembling pockets.*
This still feels... very illegal. Also, this is a really weird design choice for the handle? It's all uncomfortably bumpy from the pocket decals...
*Kim picks up an orange capsule next, less hesitant as she cracks it open. Into her palm, a necklace tumbles out, comprised of several dangly silver chains, at points connected with little, barbed looking red jewels. Kim quirks a brow and pokes one of the jewels, but the edge feels dulled, so she simply moves on to the next one.*
Tumblr media
*The yellow capsule deposits a wallet with nothing inside, save for a photo of a grinning cat. Kim looks a little confused as she shuts it, opting to simply grab another capsule. This one is blue, and when she opens it, there is a slight hiss. She drops it, startled.*
Shit! What the hell-
*A cool mist seems to come out of the capsule, leaving in dense white streams. The mist curls around Kim's ankles and she shivers, picking it up and turning it over. Inside is a small little figure that looks to be made of... ice? It appears to depict some sort of knight, but not from anything Kim recognizes. Deciding not to touch it, she shuts the capsule, a little unnerved by how immediately the temperature rises around them- just back to normal, which was already fairly cold, but it leaves her wondering just what exactly that thing does. Unlike before opening it, the capsule actually feels cold to the touch now, and she opts to set it back on the floor a little distance away.*
Be careful when you open that again. That's f-fucking freezing.
*The next capsule is purple, and when opened, it has a piece of fabric sticking out the bottom end. Kim grabs it and begins to pull- for a moment, she is mildly concerned it will tear, but then it seems to come loose, eventually being completely removed and revealed to be a button up shirt. The fabric is a very, very dark blue, with a shimmery, embroidered, nearly equally dark purple design sewn throughout it. It appears to be floral, stretching along the sleeves, collar, and one pocket. The other pocket is solidly colored, in a shade of purple matching that of the brighter shimmering from the threads.*
... This is kind of nice, actually. Not my style, but I could see it appealing to someone. What is this loot pool?
*Kim looks back up at the machine, shaking her head before grabbing the last capsule. It's hot pink, and feels warm to the touch. Kim is very, very careful opening it, nearly dropping this one too as light pink flames lick out of the crack. She may not drop it, but she does fumble, and the flames graze her fingers.*
AH!
*Kim jerks her hand back quickly, freaked out for a moment, before realizing it didn't actually hurt at all. Curious, she pulls it back in, widening the opening. Inside, an object so dark it nearly looks like a black hole rests, flames turning white the closer they are to it. It appears to be shaped like a star, whatever it is.*
Okay... weird, but kinda cool I guess? Why do none of these have labels or anything? How are we supposed to know what we got?
*She runs her hand through the flames, noting that they just seem to be very warm, but snaps the container shut shortly thereafter, feeling a little strange.*
Not sure what's up with that one... let's just head back to my place already.
*Kim's tone sounds a little more empty than before. She seems to catch this herself after a moment, frowning and shaking her head.*
I think I need to be somewhere normal and familiar. And you need your snacks and your drink.
*She smiles slightly, but it feels a little forced? At least to her; she looks away with a frown, hoping the off feeling will go away. She idly pets the bunny, lost in thought as she turns to start them on the way home.*
