i'm back once again to request smth......vernon picking y/n up from work bc it's raining, but the only umbrella he brought broke on the way </3 - aeris

umbrellas be damned

⇒ pairing: chaotic good boyfriend!vernon x reader

⇒ genre: fluff

⇒ warnings: cursing. nothing too crazy but we do have a few sailor mouths over here

⇒ word count: 1.1k (actually idrk because I wrote it on my phone, also sorry about the formatting I c+p directly from my notes app)

⇒ hiiii aeris!!! ♡ I must say you have some of the best requests ever, they’re so creative! also just wanted to thank you for requesting something again, I’m always so happy to see you in my inbox!

⇒ a/n: for this, ngl I haven’t written anything for this blog in a while so if it’s shit, you gotta forgive me because I really tried and also I love love loved writing this!!! I wrote it when I had breaks at school or while I was staring at the hot guy who sat across from me in the library, ANYWAYS HERE WE GO

thirty percent chance of rain it said. as you listen to the rain coming down heavy and stare at the incorrect forecast on your phone’s weather app in disbelief, you’re consoled only by the fact that your boyfriend, vernon, had previously offered to walk you home from work today. before the rain came, that is.

with a shake of your head, you close the weather app and prepare to just shut off your phone completely, when a text comes in from vernon.

it’s a picture of him holding an umbrella with the message attached reading ‘don’t worry, i got the goods’. you smile and instantly feel better about your predicament. luckily, the rain started before you’d left your job, or else you’d both be stuck walking in it. for now, you just have to stare at it in disdain until your boyfriend (saviour) arrives.

truthfully, you don’t have any problem with the rain. it’s pleasing to watch and the soothing sounds are enough to get a crying baby to sleep. sometimes, you even like playing in it. though not when you’ve just had your hair done and naively expected it to last the entire work week, or at least until you decided the style has run its course.

soon enough, vernon arrives, but he’s not wearing the same smile that you are. he’s also noticeably drenched due to the umbrella not being deployed at all.

“did you forget how to open an umbrella?” you joke, completely omitting a greeting. he steps out of the rain to join you under the awning outside of your workplace. “bad news,” he says over the sound of the heavy rain. “so i’m walking over here, right, and I didn’t even think it was gonna rain, but it did!” while animatedly continuing his story, vernon takes a corner of his shirt and unpleasantly squeezes it out right next to your feet. you take two steps away from him.

“anyways, I remembered that I had an umbrella in my backpack. so I grabbed it and I was a little excited because i’m never prepared for this shit,” you anticipate the next part of the story, because it can’t be good. if it were good, you’d both be happily skipping home under the protection of an umbrella. okay, maybe not literally, but the point is still valid.

he steps further away from you to squeeze more of the moisture from his clothing, and the unintentionally polite action isn’t lost on you. he must’ve noticed the first time when you’d stepped away. “but guess what? as soon as I opened the stupid thing, I noticed it didn’t come up all the way. so now i’m like, ‘what the hell?’ and by this time, i’d already started walking so it wasn’t like I could just go back inside and grab a different, less shitty umbrella,” you watch as he takes off his shoe and turns it over, only for nothing to come out. you almost laugh at his attempt to be like the movies when someone’s just come in from the rain and they dump an unrealistic amount of water from their shoe.

“so I try to push it up more to get it all the way up and it literally snaps right in my hands.” he makes a dramatic motion of dropping the umbrella to the ground. you dramatically gasp. vernon acknowledges your reaction, “I know, right?”

he picks up the umbrella and promptly drops it into the trash bin behind you. “did you seriously keep the broken umbrella just to show me that reenactment?” you ask, suddenly very amused at your boyfriend’s theatrical performance.

he hesitates before answering “…no.” albeit unconfidently, and you don’t believe him one bit.

“you totally did.”

“I totally did not.”

you give him a look that says “drop the act, you’re caught” but he doesn’t give up. it’s quiet between you two as you stare at each other, wanting to get the other to back down. the rain makes up for the silence, though it’s slowing down as time goes on.

“so what are we gonna do then?” you finally ask, only vaguely referring to his plan to get you two out of the rain quickly.

he puts his “thinking face” on–a look that is so characteristically and unmistakably him–and ponders his response.

“do you wanna wait it out? when I looked earlier, the forecast said it wouldn’t stop for a while so…” he trails off, but you’re already looking up the weather report on your phone.

expect showers until 6pm.

that’s an hour from now.

“I guess we’ll just have to run.” you say, only half joking. the rain isn’t clearing anytime soon and though it’s slowed down a little bit, it’ll still be hell to get from here to your apartment.

“I have an idea, but you have to hear me out first.” vernon prefaces. you know that when he starts a sentence like that, the thought following is something you’d never consider otherwise. “okay.” you agree, since you have no ideas of your own. how bad could it be? “seriously? nevermind, let me just demonstrate before you change your mind.”

he gently takes your arm and pulls you closer to him before removing the backpack from his shoulders and holding it over top of your head. “ready?” he asks.

if it were anyone else, you would’ve been perfectly content waiting until the rain stopped so you both could walk home comfortably. however, it’s vernon, your sweet and considerate boyfriend, so you have no choice but to oblige.

so, you two set off into the rain with vernon carrying his backpack over your head. even when you offer to hold it instead, he shuts you down, saying something about “it’s the least I could do to make up for my umbrella-handling shortcomings” and you’re not sure what any of that means or why he has to say everything so dramatically, but you eventually just accept it.

at one point, you just throw all caution to the wind and rest your head on his extremely wet shoulder. you’re too tired to care at this point, and already catching stray rain from all directions anyway.

despite the fact that your clothes are getting extremely saturated with cloud tears, vernon never stops holding his backpack above your head even when you tell him to.

one thing remains in your mind the entire way home and it’s that no matter if everything else went left today, you know that you have someone as caring as vernon to do everything he can to look out for you. and truthfully, that’s all you need, umbrellas be damned.

Hello again! I have an update about my sister.

I think trying to hold a sincere conversation uh... Frightened her somehow? She didn't take to it well. She always did get nervous about uh. Real feelings...

Extremely recently, she filmed an indecent video showing off her undergarments and posted it online, specifically asking that it be spread around so she could get lots of attention. Then when she inevitably got disgusting messages from a dangerous seeming person, I had to hide said undergarments so she wouldn't sell them to this person!

Also recently I saw her sending a different dangerous seeming person a weird message revealing her real name and address, calling them a "walking red flag" and herself something like a "helpless deer with red-green colour blindness"????

Sydney is usually able to mellow her out without doing much, which is reassuring, but in no possible universe could I even consider just... Walking up to them and saying "Hello Sydney! Lovely weather we are having! Please babysit my younger twin sister for me. She is very self destructive and I am worthless! Thank you!" For uh... Many reasons! At least she's peaceful and harmless and not being harmed when she's asleep haha...

Oh gosh, I went completely off the rails here... I'm so sorry. I only meant to give you an update like you asked, but I think I got a little worked up...

~ @poorsadorphanposting

Hello there young Edin! Thank you very much for the update, I was rather worried about both of you.

I am sorry to hear that things did not work out well between you and your sister Esmee. I had hoped my advice would have served you well, and I am sad to hear that it seems to have made things worse. Please know that was never my intention.

In terms of Esmee's behaviour, this is all very concerning, I am tempted to say that she may be possessed by something malevolent, but I am worried that making an incorrect call in that area may cause more harm than good.

You mentioned that young Sydney seemed to have a positive effect on her, yes? But that you feel bad asking them to watch over her, which is understandable. You do not want to appear incapable of caring for someone who you care for and who should be relying on you. Perhaps I shall assign young Sydney to take watch over her, and inform me if more direct action is needed.

That way you would not lose face with anyone, and Esmee can maybe achieve the help she needs.

I do worry about you in all of this, young Edin. It cannot be easy seeing one so dear to you change and struggle like this. Know that if you ever need me, even if just to vent your frustrations, I am always here for you. And I know that this decision may be a long ways off, but if you ever become more comfortable with your relationship with your sister, know that there is always room for the both of you here. We would love to have you be a member of the church.

hello bestie i was wondering if you could give us a lil more info on ytr nao? im interested in how she functions in mishima’s role. apologies if you already discussed this in another post i have the memory of a large stone or perhaps a clod of dirt

hi bestie!!!! i am happy to expand on ytr nao i love her :D i just haven’t talked about her much because she uh. Dies pretty quickly but she is there and she is lovely!!!

so my main idea for her took inspiration from one of the ytts endings (do not take my word for it i only have a very vague idea of what happens since i’ve never played ytts) where it shows like a grown-up nao who’s become an art teacher. i really wanted to borrow this idea because i found it so interesting :< so she still acts similar to her canon self she’s just a bit older and more mature. i’d like to imagine she’s just starting out as a teacher and so she’s got those first-day-on-the-job nerves and then gets. Goddamn kidnapped

also nao is a candidate in this au so that’s an important note! the girlie was Supposed to be kidnapped this time

one of the most important scenes containing nao in this au is that in place of mishima comforting kanna, nao comforts kugie here. it’s a bit different: she doesn’t lie about her not being able to save kanna (mostly cause that’s not in her personality and because kugie like 99% would not believe that) but instead she focuses on the time kugie and kanna spent together. basically she says something to the effect of: just like how kugie would be there to support kanna whenever she was upset, everyone else wants to be there for kugie because something so awful has happened to her. nao recognizes that she’s a complete stranger to kugie, but she also doesn’t want to sit idly while kugie grieves her sister. this really touches kugie, and for the first time she feels comfortable to show some vulnerability around the other participants.

(there’s also the parallel of when kugie says this same type of thing to comfort ryoko later on ;-;)

oh……..and the second trial. poor nao, who the heck would even vote for her? well-

mishima still suggests to nao that they should vote for each other, hoping to protect his former student when he actually votes for himself. BUT instead of blindly voting for him like he asked, nao also considers: couldn’t it be dangerous if professor mishima gets the most votes? and because she doesn’t want to endanger HIM, SHE ALSO JUST. VOTES FOR HERSELF. THEY BOTH VOTE FOR THEMSELVES 😭

meanwhile, on the other side of the room, there is one person who already knows how the second trial works. our favorite little sou hiyori. he’s ran ai tests countless times, he’s seen this play out. nao votes for mishima, mishima votes for mishima. and he assumes the same will happen here. so he thinks: it would be boring and meaningless for a death to happen here so quickly, i’ll just tie the votes. so thinking there’s no way he could possibly be incorrect, he tells shin to vote for nao and also does so himself.

but….the AIs are outdated here. and this death game is strangely…different. so nao ends up receiving those three votes, and yeah she uh. Uhh. Uh <.<

that isn’t the “last” we see of nao though!!! there’s still the nao ai on the third floor and she’s an absolute sweetheart. but man, nao’s death makes mishima feel so guilty. he feels like he failed in his duty to keep her safe, and he’s devastated about it. but this is a nao post not a mishima post so i will talk more about him another time

tbh, this post is making me realize how many times i’ve put in a scenario where a character doing something selfless/doing something out of love ends up dooming them, but it’s also SO important to their character that they choose that option anyways. like for example, if nao here listened to mishima she would’ve survived, but it’s also important to show her growth in not just wanting to find security in others, but wanting to BE that security for other people and keep them safe.

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 6: Shibuya Incident 2

I'm actually thoroughly surprised. It's a bit hard to explain, truthfully, but this episode does surprisingly well on the whole. But I suppose that is owed to the star studded staff that came out of the woodwork to work on this episode. Anyways, I won't spoil the fun, so let's get down to brass tacks before I let the cat out of the bag.

Mahito vs Kokichi. I would say I'm.... satisfied. Though I suppose that might be a bit of a crazy statement to make considering the fight. It's just... I'm not quite sure how to explain it. A lot of the added scenes were great, and it's not quite that they felt piled on, but that they weren't really put together well?

We got all sorts of crazy scenes and even a Gurren Lagann reference by the man himself. But how much is a pile of art worth, truly? How much motion, movement, shading can you imbue a moment with before it tips over the edge? I feel very strongly about how Vincent Chansard approaches animation with his OP cuts at times, and I just feel like that point's been reached with sequences here. I know, crazy thing to say, but it's just.... not quite lost the plot, but maybe the purpose?

Tengen Toppa Jujutsu Kaisen is cool, but it ignores the purpose of the original sequence in the manga. A do or die moment for Kokichi becomes a grand stand of overpowered individuals that stretches the fabric of the fight itself. Very Gurren Lagann in that sense, but this is Jujutsu Kaisen. I love the reference with Kokichi going on to stab Mahito, and I think Mahito drilling through to Kokichi is a cool change up. But the middle parts? While cool, end up excessive and misrepresented.

It's the dangerous game of giving an anime powerup, that does have me concerned as to how fights moving forward will be handled. Mahito's powers are limited, and he himself expresses that in S1 with the weakness of certain forms. His fleeing from Kokichi (which was horribly marred with ghosting and dimming) expresses the limits of his abilities incredibly well while providing an insanely well done original scene to the fight. This last piece with Mahito vs Kokichi though? It pays no attention to the limits of Mahito's soul, or the rules of his abilities. It extends past the reason and fairness that Gege put in place to provide a grand stand in the end. Is it cool? Definitely. Do I mind it being in the episode? If you're a manga reader, not really. For anime onlies though? Gives the completely incorrect intention with the character.

For reference, this is all that happens during that whole break in sequence in the manga.

Returning to the fight at large, it's pretty clear to see that the animation is carried through by a few of the key talents working on it. Not all sequences outside of the handful are terrible, but a good number lack any sense of pace or weight. I don't know if I'd be as harsh on them as I am if there weren't as many great cuts, but such is the way things go.

So, once more to reiterate, I'm rather satisfied with this stretch of the Mahito vs Kokichi fight. Undoubtedly carried by the star performers, the fierce individuality brought by each can clash with both one another and the source material at times to make the fight more than a little challenging to follow. Certainly far better than what I was expecting though.

Though respectfully, what is this? The difference in the hands between the cuts is rather painful, and just the way it is in movement compared to the re-used cut of Mahito's initial domain expansion from season 1 makes it feel so wrong. The epitome of S1's flirting vs S2's sexual harassment.

Talking the episode as a whole, before moving on to Shibuya itself, it was arguably the most consistent of the bunch we've gotten for season 2 so far. Sure, the lows stick out like even more of a sore thumb than before, but the highs are far stronger, and the character designs remain largely consistent throughout. I think my only complain is how out of place the background characters for Shibuya can look in comparison to how the actual cast is drawn.

Like... I just don't really know what to say. Did they even try to match the art style? Even worse is the fact that when they're dealing with characters that did exist in the crowd, in the manga, they're able to style them properly? Like, the above image of the people in the crowd to this one, would you believe that they're from the same series?

Aside from that, I don't really have any complaints with the rest of the episode? It's exposition heavy, but the character designs are surprisingly solid, with Kusakabe arguably being the best adapted from Gege's style. He is missing a lot of the real charm to his character that's expressed through his design, and much like Megumi his hair differs to the manga, but there's something about it that feels much more "right" than other first time designs. Does make me question just what went on with Yuko, Yuki, and the other characters who have been appearing for the first time through this season though.

Will say though, they've nailed the new cast of voices coming in. All have the right vibes and I'm really looking forward to seeing what they can do with their respective moments in the series.

This episode certainly has me less worried than all of Gojo's Past for how Shibuya will look. Gosso's involvement feels far less heavy handed, and while the individual freedom afforded by that may be detrimental at times, it feels like the far better decision for an arc like this. It won't be on Park's level, but I'm starting to think that there'll be potential, just have to see if things end up out of hand or not.

I made another HSR oc so I hope you don't mind me putting his mini lore here. I just made him a couple minutes cuz I remembered that HSR canonically has social media (probably) sooo-

Social Media Influencer OC anyone?

~~~

Name: Yuhang

Pronouns: He/Him

Path: Destruction

Element: Quantum

~~~

Yuhang is a famous Social Media Influencer. Even outside the Loufu he is popular and talked about sometimes. As all social media influencers are, it took him awhile to rise up to where he is now, but as a long life species he had plenty of time. Some people enjoy what he does, the content he posts aren’t much. Some photos of himself, some of him promoting something, saying something inspiration (and other things, tbh idk what a social media influencer does in full-) However others think he’s let the popularity get to his head, while his fans thinks he’s just your average influencer that just so happens to have a big following

(But of course no OC is complete without trauma y’know)

Both are incorrect, to some degree (mainly his haters) Yuhang honestly hates attention, having eyes on him and having people treat him differently due to his “status”

So why did he become an influencer if he knew there was a chance this would happen? His younger sister. During an attack where many mara stuck monsters invaded, he was desperate to find his sister to take her to safety, if only he was fast enough then he wouldn’t have to have seen his sister dead.

A funeral was held and after it, he was allowed to look through some of his sister's items to keep as a memory. As he looked around, a diary fell out of a bookshelf (her room was preserved until this day) and landed on a certain page. One of the passages caught his eye.

“When I’m older. I want to be famis, to bring peeple motivation to continu on. To show everyone life is worth it and to follow there dreams. Is that cheesy? Maybee, but I want to help my broter to be more confident, so we can be famis togeter”

Despite her obvious spelling mistakes as she is young, Yuhang was able to comprehend what she wrote. He didn’t think he’d ever get over his fear of being looked at. But…

And that’s how it started, although it wasn’t his sisters final wish, it was a fish she had, a wish she wanted to do to in hopes to make others happy. And if she was going to be happy if she saw her brother cracking out of his shell? He was willing to put away his fears.

He never expected to be popular but he continued, and deep down he hoped that wherever his sister was watching him. That she was proud.

He never got over his fear, but he hides it well when he’s out and about. At home though he’s more like his usual quiet self as he writes stories and poetry.

His “online” personality is an energetic yet laid-back man. Always willing to help and wants to look on the bright side of things. His content shows this as well usually.

His more real self is, as I said. A quiet person, he’s more soft spoken and enjoys his alone time.

~~~

Honestly I love him alr despite me creating him just today. I should probably work on him and Aniya more before creating another one shouldn't I...

-🫧

Aww how lovely! He reminds me of the oc I'm working on actually!

Except she's not from Xianzhou and is from Perlas, a sea planet based off of the Philippines.

I'm still working out the specifics but I have a general idea now thanks to everyone's posts :D

WAIT!

I don't know if I'm behind the curve on this, but I just noticed something important in Gerald Robotnik's last diary entry!

There are not one, not two, but THREE different sets of pronouns (excluding the "I")! This means that Gerald was referring to three different things, or in this case, three different people.

Let's talk about that.

3 Identities, 2 Wrong, 1 Missing

We'll start by addressing an assumption everyone, even the characters, made.

The assumption that Shadow is the project Gerald was talking about in this entry. I'm here to say that's not the case.

I'm not saying the diary itself is wrong. Even the grammar is correct. The mistake was how these words were read.

These diary entries were being read out loud by Rouge while they were on the ARK. Gerald's voice may have came in part of the way through, but it's not actually Gerald speaking. This is confirmed when we hear Rouge finish reading, showing that it was still her the whole time. This Gerald voice we're hearing in the cutscene is how the characters interpret his tone to have been when he wrote his thoughts.

Tone is a crucial part of language. A simple shift in tone can give identical sentences completely different meanings. The tone in which Gerald's entries were read made it sound like he was talking about Shadow as the project.

However, that doesn't make sense. Why would he flip flop between calling the same person both "him" and "it", especially in an alternating pattern? Sure, it's becoming a little more common in today's era, but that would be way less likely back in the 50s. It's more likely that Shadow would've been one or the other, not both.

But even that's incorrect. Look at how the first sentence of Gerald's last diary entry was written.

"I was able to complete my project, Shadow".

Now bear with me as I give an example of a sentence structured the same way. This time, used in different ways.

"This is my dog, Max". (Talking about their dog, Max, to you. In this scenario, the dog is named Max.)

"This is my dog, Max." (Talking to you, the person named Max, about their dog. In this scenario, you are named Max.)

Do you see where I'm going with this? Gerald wasn't writing about Shadow, he was writing TO Shadow. This last diary entry was a message for Shadow himself to read!

It would be a little odd if Gerald was simply talking to whatever stranger happens to read his diary. He went insane, but he still must've known GUN could find it. Why would he give away his plot so recklessly and risk it being thwarted prematurely? He's not. He's actually being pretty vague in his last message. "My project", "Release and awaken it", "I will leave everything to him", none of these have names or details of what he's talking about. It's like he expected the intended reader to understand the context.

Shadow being the "you" Gerald was talking to makes sense here. Shadow knew the doctor personally, and spending a lot of time with Maria means he spent quite a bit of time with her grandfather as well. Gerald believed Shadow would be the only one left that understood who "him" was. Also, they both loved Maria deeply. If there was anyone who shared Gerald's grief, anyone who would be able and willing to carry out this plan to avenge her, it would be Shadow.

With that in mind, it's time to move on to the "it", Gerald's true final project.

Before that, though, I would like to debunk one more thing.

The Gizoid, Emerl, is ALSO not the project!

I'll be honest, I was almost convinced he was. When I remembered him in Sonic Battle, I looked into the game and came across Gerald's journal entries, one of which said this:

"If it were to have all 7 emeralds installed, it might destroy the whole planet".

Because of how that would fit pretty well with his destructive plan later on, I got the thought that maybe Gerald was talking about him. I was wrong.

There a couple things we can deduce about Gerald's final project.

The diary entries in SA2 were written after the ARK incident took place. The fact that this project was only mentioned in the last one implies that it was just completed recently (at the time). This becomes more apparent with how he was scrambling for ideas in the entry right before that.

The project was "based off his original projections". To be based off the original must mean that the original came first, not the thing based off of it. On top of that, it being based off of Gerald's projections means that he's the one who designed it. This new project was based on something he made before.

Gerald's journal entries in Sonic Battle disqualifies the Gizoid from both of these.

The Gizoid existed long before Gerald began Project Shadow. He wasn't even the one who created it. He discovered the Gizoid after it had been buried since ancient times, long before Gerald was even born. To call something like this HIS project would be blatantly false.

Gerald himself said he had too little understanding of the ancient technology the Gizoid was made from, so it's not like he could've done anything to "complete" it, anyway. The only thing he did to alter the Gizoid was reprogram it's A.I to override it's default code.

The A.I wasn't the project either. The A.I in question was changed to prevent the Gizoid from becoming a weapon of mass destruction, and we see that this A.I was still active when we met the Gizoid as "Emerl" 50 years later. Gerald never went back to undo it, even when he went mad after the ARK incident.

The project isn't Shadow or the Gizoid. It also can't be the Biolizard on account of that coming before Shadow was created, and also before the Gizoid was discovered. This project was brand new and has never set foot on the ARK.

Gerald told Shadow to release and awaken his creation before starting the plan. However, what Gerald didn't account for was Shadow's amnesia. The subtle hints in Gerald's last message to Shadow completely went over his head because he no longer knew what they were referencing.

Shadow never went searching for this mystery creation, meaning that it must still be sealed away somewhere, forgotten.

Ok, we have covered "you" and "it". There is one more person left: The identity of "him".

Before Gerald instructs Shadow to awaken his latest project, he tells Shadow "I will leave everything to him". Like stated before, the use of "him" without any further detail suggests that Shadow should be able to figure out who that is. It almost sounds like the beginning of a scavenger hunt, with this unidentified man being the first crumb on this trail that was left behind.

The three candidates that immediately come to mind are Eggman, the Commander, and Black Doom.

Eggman was the one who had Gerald's diary, and blood relatives are often the first choice for things to be passed down to. There are two problems with this. First off, Eggman was just a child at the time. I don't think Gerald would like the idea of trusting the fate of his world-ending scheme to a young child, whose future is still uncertain.

Also, if Eggman really did have the diary handed down to him from his grandfather, he would've learned about Project Shadow years ago. Seeing his classic fights with Sonic proves that he already had enough fire power to get through GUN's security. I think the reason he only started in SA2 is because he found the diary shortly before the events of that game. The diary wasn't deliberately left to Eggman, nor was anything related to the project.

With the Commander, the same logic applies. Tower was just a kid, and he wasn't even related to Gerald. Sure, the Commander was friends with Maria and mourned her death, but Gerald had even less reason to believe someone else's child would grow up to go along with this.

The reasons the Commander went after Shadow in his game also weren't related to Gerald's genocidal plan. He wanted revenge against Shadow for being the cause of the ARK incident, and he saw that Shadow was created from Black Doom's DNA.

Speaking of which, Black Doom can't be who Gerald was referring to. Gerald and Black Doom may have both wanted to ruin humanity, but their methods of doing so conflicted with each other. Black Doom wanted to keep humans alive as slaves and food, while Gerald wanted all life on the planet to be obliterated. Black Doom would've interfered with this plan if he knew.

There's another glaring issue that encompasses all three candidates. Gerald was in a high security, government prison at the time of his final project's development. Gerald no longer had the advanced technology to contact the Black Arms in space, and the other two candidates were little kids. None of them would've been in contact with Gerald after the ARK was shut down.

There's something interesting about this picture of Gerald in his last moments. You see Gerald chained to a chair, no doubt by GUN. What I want to focus on is the wall behind him, the one completely covered with handwritten equations and calculations. Earlier in the game, we see that it's the same cell Sonic was kept in.

Gerald was definitely working on something during his imprisonment. Unfortunately, I can't read what any of it says, but it's fairly safe to say these were the calculations used to plan out the ARK's collision course and speed.

I don't know how he managed to hide all this from the prison guards. Come to think of it, did he really have to? Without access to a computer, it's not like it could go anywhere. I highly doubt GUN would give a super technological genius prisoner a fully functional computer. That would be like them begging to be hacked. And if he did have a computer, he could've typed all of this onto it instead of writing on the walls in chalk.

If Gerald was imprisoned during the development of his plan, and he had no computer to connect to the ARK, how did he reprogram it to collide with the planet? I think I may have an answer.

During Gerald's arrest, GUN stripped the doctor of all his technology. Any conceivable threat of being hacked or outside communication is ripped from his possession. At least, that's what they thought.

There is one thing they overlooked. Something that they may have allowed him to keep due to mundane medical reasons. Something so ordinary that it hid in plain sight.

The glasses. Granted, the ones shown in the picture belong to Eggman, but it's a real possibility that Gerald's glasses could've had similar capabilities.

However, we're talking about the 50s. Devices this small and thin wouldn't be enough to connect to an enormous government laboratory orbiting the planet. Gerald's technology was advanced, but there must've been limits. Besides, Eggman's glasses give us a hint on what their intended purpose was.

These glasses collect and process information. If they're able to do that, then it would be reasonable to assume they can also send that information elsewhere. I think that's how Gerald's plan made it out of Prison Island.

Accessing the ARK to send it there is improbable, if not nearly impossible. Not only is there a tremendous distance between the island and the outer reaches of orbit, but the ARK was shut down. Everything was turned off and it wasn't online to receive anything wirelessly. Again, this is the 50s, even the technology of a genius can only go so far without proper resources.

But there was another way for Gerald to go about this. If he can't reach the ARK directly, then he can get someone else to do it instead. He could send these formulas and calculations to "him".

Gerald sent his plans to someone on the outside, and that person followed the instructions. That's why they're all written on the wall. He needed it to be legible for the person on the receiving end, and since it's chalk, he can erase whatever parts he'd already sent and replace them with other important details.

That must be what he did for his final project as well. "I will leave it all to him". Gerald's not just giving this guy a new code for the ARK. He's also leaving the recipes and steps he used to create the Ultimate Lifeform, as well as new adjustments to improve upon them. Gerald was leaving "him" everything, to ensure that his revenge can live on.

Eventually, Gerald was executed, but not before leaving a promise of loss and despair. As for the identity of the one called "him"? I cannot say for certain. Although, we can piece a few things together.

Gerald put a lot of faith in this person.

This person's scientific prowess rivaled that of Gerald's, making "him" a fellow genius.

This person wasn't one of the scientists on the ARK who were arrested.

This person is someone Gerald expected Shadow to recognize, or at least someone he knew about.

Sadly, I can't think of anyone meeting all of this criteria ever being introduced in the games. That said, I'll end this post with a rough guess.

There is someone who could theoretically meet this criteria that was never mentioned in any Sonic game to date, yet we know had to have existed at some point by default.

What if "him" referred to Gerald's son, Eggman's father?

#shadow the hedgehog #sonic the hedgehog #project shadow #theory #gerald robotnik #in hindsight I probably should've written this post before my last one detailing this theory #but I can make a masterpost listing them chronologically once I'm finished #that's right this isn't over #I never realized this can had so many worms #also this is just a fan theory so I'm not trying to claim anything as canon

https://www.tumblr.com/aimbutmiss/748143921530535936/i-just-came-across-a-zosan-post-about-zoro-on-wci?source=share

I don't know, I think we can all have different opinions.

And you know, I disagree with you. Look, I don't think they would fight, something that Zoro and Sanji have in common is not interfering in their captain's problems unless they see it necessary and Zoro is also someone very perceptive. Which makes me think that maybe he would have realized why Sanji was acting like that, who knows?

But I do know that Zoro would not have interfered in Sanji and Luffy's "fight", nor would he fight Sanji unless he thought it was necessary.

I advise you not to take their silly "fights" as something that would become a problem in a serious moment, when you know that in situations like this Zoro and Sanji put that aside to work together to the point of having the same opinion about the situation and supporting each other

Also stop believing that at this point Zoro would put Luffy first over all the Strawhats, it sounds similar to those who say that Zoro would kill any Strawhat if Luffy asked him to.

At this point in the story Zoro has learned because of what happened with Nami, Usopp and Robin, that it is better to first know what is happening before acting.

Yes, at first he had a different reaction with Sanji because their dynamic is different and he trusts Sanji and he felt betrayed, but that would not cause a serious fight, and after knowing what was happening he felt worried for Sanji (Luffy said it), but Zoro had to continue pretending that he didn't care about Sanji, because that's how they and their relationship are.

The Strawhats are his family and he is the protector of the crew, in situations like this he would first want to know what is happening and then decide what to do.

I was gonna start this post by thanking you for stating your disagreement in kind words but some sentences are too stabby for my liking so I'll skip the pleasantries. I will not hold it against you, though. I got really heated in my initial post too after all.

Look, we both clearly care about these characters and that's why my thoughts, which are clearly different to yours, bothered you so much—enough to write this long ass ask at least. So out of my respect and understanding for your feelings, I'm gonna try to go through everything you said one by one. Forgive me if I fail to be clear and miss anything.

First of all, you're making a lot of assumptions about me and my thoughts from simply one short post. I never said the "fight" in question would be anything like their gag fights. I wasn't even referring to a physical fight, more of a verbal clash of two individuals struggling through a mentally exhausting and borderline traumatising event. I could have worded it better initially, so maybe that's on me.

Zoro is emotionally intelligent indeed. He's good at reading people and he knows it's better not to assume, especially from experience Iike you've said. However, he's not one for words. He doesn't comment on things, and when he does he can be easily misunderstood because he's not good with words. And Sanji is an overthinker with deeply rooted self esteem issues. The two just don't mix, it's recipe for disaster. Even if Zoro knows something is wrong and Sanji has his reasons for leaving, he's not gonna be able to articulate that clearly. One wrong word could set off Sanji's already spiriling mind and set off a screaming match. Not a silly one, no, a very emotionally taxing argument that would do nothing in terms of them solving their problems. If anything, it would make things worse by pushing Sanji further away and making Zoro feel guilty and tired. The last thing Luffy needs is dealing with extra baggage.

I also hate when people say "Zoro would kill his crewmates for Luffy" because it completely erases Zoro's love for his friends. Here again you've put my words into my own mouth and made an incorrect assumption about my thoughts. We actually agree here, to some extent. You know I finished that post by saying "fanon thrives when it's built on canon" right??? Ignoring Zoro's love and care for his crewmates is exactly what I'm against because it stomps all over Zoro's character. When I said Zoro always puts Luffy first, I was referring to his dedication to his status as captain. He knows Luffy will never back down from getting back Sanji, and that is not a problem for him, however the moment Sanji does anything to disrespect Luffy his first mate instincts will clash with what Luffy wants. Just like back in Water 7 when he made sure Usopp apologized before coming back. What makes you think he wouldn't hold Sanji to the same standard??? "It's been two years, he must have learnt from his mistakes-" but was what he did even a mistake? I don't think so. Zoro is a man with ideals and he would have upheld them to the end, even if it ended up making things tougher on Luffy and Sanji. Because in the end, it was for the crew's own benefit.

Of course the straw hats are Zoro's family and he cares deeply for them. I never said that wasn't the case. But wanting to do what's best for your crew and actually doing it are two different things. People make mistakes, especially in high stress situations like Whole Cake. Zoro's not perfect, he's a 21 year old who's deeply worried for his friends and that means he could easily mess it up, just like any of them. But I just think Zoro's chances of reaching out to help Sanji in wci is much lower than other crewmates for reasons explained above. I truly believe Sanji would have benefited most from having Usopp or Robin there but I'm not gonna elaborate on that because this isn't about that.

Anyways, in the end I can't tell anyone what to do. Everyone has the freedom to read and write whatever they want. My post wasn't about that, I never targeted anyone either. I could have easily left a mean comment on the post I saw, but I'm not about bringing other people down. It just bothers me when people don't take the characters’ personality into account when they're coming up with scenarios and headcanons. I was frustrated so I made that post, that's it. You could have easily scrolled past it if it bothered you so much, like I did with the post I didn't like. Well, either way, thank you for deeming me worthy enough to waste your time on. I appreciate it 👍🏻

#hopefully I was able to get my point across #“but aim you wasted your time too-” I'm aware I just wanted to. I won't do it again if i get another ask like this though 😁#I wish people would just scroll past when they didn't agree with someone god #anyways this was a fun writing exercise for me so thanks anon!!!

How did you all find out you had keratoconus?

I'm new to this subreddit and this diagnosis, and scrolling a bit it seems like people on here have maybe had a different (more sensical) journey than i have......? So I'm curious about how other people got diagnosed. Here's my stupid saga — sorry it's long, LOL. I've worn glasses (sometimes contacts) since I was a kid, but in 18 years of optometrist and ophthalmologist visits no one ever suggested or seemed to so much as suspect there was anything strange about my vision aside from a very uneven nearsightedness (3.25 R / 0.75 L). Until I went to the emergency room in 2021 with what I later found out was corneal hydrops, LOL, although I remained a complete medical mystery to everyone in the emergency department that night. I had tried making an emergency eye appointment first thing that morning, but they couldn't see me for weeks. I made an appointment for that afternoon at the nearby clinic instead, but the doctor there just yelled at me for not having gone straight to the emergency room. (She was literally so mean to me LMAO.) But so I went to the hospital and waited for hours, and when they finally saw me they had no idea what the fuck was going on so they just ogled me like some kind of freak and made me a next-day appointment with the ophthalmologist I had called that morning who wouldn't see me. Awesome chain of events. Anyway, the ophthalmologist knew it was hydrops but didn't know why it had happened. About 6 weeks of prescription pain medication and a 4x daily regimen of 7 different eye drops later, the holidays came around, and i would be going home to another state for a month. I was pretty nervous about being away from my doctor, and asked him if I should be worried about this happening to my other eye or anything like that. He said no, the odds of that happening were slim; there was no reason why this should happen to me twice, but I could call if anything. Okay, so this is the part where it gets really funny. I went home and right before Christmas I started experiencing similar symptoms in my right eye. (The hydrops had been in my left eye; RIP to what used to be my good eye.) Blurriness, pain, eye watering, redness, loss of vision. I went to see an ophthalmologist there, though, and it... wasn't developing hydrops. In fact, he said, this was completely unrelated to my other recent eye incident. That sounded crazy to me, so I was like, Well, could it be because I've been touching my eyes so much, with the eye drops and the pain and all, or from straining my vision more? No, he said; total coincidence. Wow! And what a fun coincidence. I had a manuscript due that week and spent Christmas to New Years almost totally blind, hunched over my computer with my accessibility settings turned up to 100 and an icepick to the back of my skull. (Still managed to catch an incorrect comma deletion from my editor, though. Ayyy.) Anyway, I guess he was right, because after a couple weeks of the drops my right eye cleared up and has been normal since. I actually still don't know exactly what happened there; I should ask my current doctor… the third of the ophthalmologists featured in this story, who I only saw because my cousin suggested keratoconus to me and gave me his name. (He is very cool and smart and I love him for finally making things make sense to me, and he is also kind of hot.) So. Now I'm waiting til my consultation on scleral lenses, which I'm supposed to try before we resort to surgery. I don't really think the scleral will..... work? Since the bigass corneal scar in the middle of my left eye presents both a shape and color issue, and a scleral lens will only give me a round eyeball again, not a clear one. But yeah, that's my journey so far or whatever. What about you guys? submitted by /u/ST4ND4RD-D3V14NT [link] [comments] https://www.reddit.com/r/Keratoconus/comments/18vb06h/how_did_you_all_find_out_you_had_keratoconus/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=tumblr

Red Velvet - Perfect Velvet

Kind of a short album at just 9 songs, but there’s a decent bit of variety in them, and for the most part they’re quite good. This is another album that you often hear people suggest as the GOAT kpop album, and I can definitely see why. I generally prefer Red Velvet’s synthy stuff to their velvet stuff though, and you can kind of tell based on my ratings. Still, they do the velvet in this album really well (it is Perfect Velvet after all) and I can still appreciate how objectively good a lot of this music is, even if it isn’t all totally for me. But still … two of these songs are among my Favorites, and that’s saying something. There’s only one other album with two songs on my Favorites playlist (although now that I’ve heard Pink Tape that’ll probably change soon lol). Average score of 7.9, which feels accurate to my own preferences.

I know this album very well. I listen to several of the songs on a regular basis, and a couple of them are among my Favorite Kpop Songs. But it would be incorrect to do a project on SM girl group albums without including Perfect Velvet, so here we go.

Peek-A-Boo

I absolutely love this music video. Whenever I see the question “if you had one video to show someone to explain kpop to them, what video would you send?” this is always one that comes to mind.

Musically it’s somewhere between synth-pop and r&b. The synths carry the melody in the chorus, but it’s way too dark for regular synth-pop. Red and velvet together

Plus that bass is just so good

Love how they build the chorus up from just synths, adding vocals each time

9/10, iconic

Look

These processed vocals that we here throughout the song, the “bah bah bah bah bah,” I feel like I’ve always known those. Like when I first heard this song, I was like, “I’ve known this melody since the day I was born”

Kinda like Peek-A-Boo, the instrumentals are very synthy, but it doesn’t feel synth-pop, it feels way more r&b

Wikipedia lists the following as genres of this album: Pop, R&B, hip hop, soul, trap, future bass, synth-pop, nu disco

I agree with several of those for this particular song – not so sure where trap happens in this album but I guess we’ll find out

Random male vocalist samples in the bridge

Ugh, I just love the vibe of this song though. It doesn’t do as much for me as some others on this album, but really solid song

8/10

I Just

This song is currently #15 on my list of favorite kpop songs (which I think is a bit low, it’ll probably end up a bit higher next time I adjust the playlist)

Actually let me tell you the story here

Before I got into kpop, I had two absolute favorite songs. One of them was Grant - Castaway (feat. Juneau). I just loved the vibe of that song, it felt sad and yet it was so upbeat and powerful, synthy with super pretty vocals and powerful drops and it just feels SO good. My first kpop song was Likey, which felt similar, but not the same. But since Likey felt similar, I figured I’d give this kpop thing a shot, since it seemed like a decent way to find more songs like Castaway. A couple of years later, I found I Just, which has exactly the same feeling to me as Castaway. So in a way, I got into kpop to find this very song.

10/10 in case you haven’t guessed yet, this song is perfect.

Kingdom Come

Currently #6 on my favorite kpop songs

This song is different.

This is like, a song to listen to when you feel suicidal, y’know?

If Wikipedia lists “soul” as one of the genres of this album, then they’re referring to this song specifically

They did this on Killing Voice which made me so happy

God, Wendy in that last chorus just kills me every time. I’ve heard this song a hundred times and I still get goosebumps

“I love you… ‘till kingdom come”

10/10

My Second Date

This is an album of two halves for me. And I do enjoy both halves but … expect lower ratings for this half

Vibes very similar to I Just, but the vocals are way cleaner

The chanty chorus never totally does it for me

I’m not completely convinced by the dinging that goes through the song. I feel like it makes the song feel a bit too monotonous

The instrumentals are excellent though, and the rap break fits really well

7/10, good song, not my favorite

Attaboy

Ohhhhh this is the trap song, okay yeah that makes sense, no wonder I forgot about it haha

There are a few things about this song that I’m not a huge fan of

The bass/vocal contrast feels a bit to extreme, I kind of want more mids

Also just, the trap bass itself doesn’t feel totally necessary to me, it makes the song feel super dark, but the vocals are so fun! And so I’m just not sure what to think

6/10, I appreciate what they’re trying to do here, it just doesn’t do it for me

Perfect 10

This song is so velvety

Isn’t it weird how you just like, know what “red” and “velvet” sound like? Like idk how to describe it, it just is

Those background synths take up a Lot of auditory space, if that makes sense

Haha maybe they should’ve taken some of the mids from this song and put them into Attaboy

I don’t think this is strictly a slow jam, but like most slow jams, it doesn’t totally do it for me

7/10, definitely not a perfect 10

About Love

For some reason the electric piano in this song reminds me of Wii music

Like the first gens, this feels like a song to kind of fill space. It fits the album really well, but when I’m listening to the album all the way though, it’s kind of just … there

If this was Pink Tape for example, this would be a great spot to throw a random synthpop red banger in, just to keep you interested and on your toes

But it is true that in most albums, the second to last song is the weakest (or one of the weakest (although Pink Tape has no weak songs haha))

I guess I’m just gonna forever be comparing this album to Pink Tape which is super unfair but … that album changed my life dude

6/10, not bad, doesn’t do much special

Midnight Melody

The ballad of the album, right at the end

I know it’s slow jammy and all that, but it has two things going for it: it’s the only r&b slow jam on the album, and it’s Red Velvet

Also it’s in three and we love that

Someone once said to me that hardly any kpop songs are in three, but if this project has taught me anything, it’s that r&b ballads love their 6/8-except-maybe-it’s-3/4 time signatures

I also think that for a slow jam, this song is paced really well. It has the moments with the generic slow jam percussion, but it also knows when to pull away from the percussion and let the piano and vocals do their thing

8/10, which is probably the highest rating I’ll ever give an r&b slow jam

How they simp ft the Aot boys

This is both Aot universe and Modern universe. I’ll separate them accordingly.

(The charismatic simp): Jean

•Aot verse:

☆ He's gonna become your friend as soon as he realizes he has a crush on you and he'll do everything in his power to stay by your side when that happens.

☆ He'll slide into the first available seat next to you in the mess hall and bring extra bread so that he can slide it onto your plate if you're extra hungry.

☆ If you spend a lot of time in the library he'll find a book similar to whatever he'd seen you reading before. (Of course he has to ask Armin what kind of books would be similar to your current choice.)

☆ And once he knows your favorite genre he'll head to the library late at night and grab a couple from that genre. Bookmarking his favorite pages so he can talk to you about it and you'll think he's super smart. (He's definitely fallen asleep with many books on his lap, chest and head since he started crushing on you.)

☆ If you have a hobby that's more interactive like sewing or flower picking he'll offer to carry your little basket or wear the thing you're currently stitching up so you can work better.

☆ And yes he did get caught wearing flowers in his hair by Eren. But it was because you'd smiled so fondly at him while sticking daisies in his brown hair. Giggling so cutely when they fell out. And he was gonna take that memory to his fucking grave regardless of what titan idiot had to say about it.

☆ And yes he did get caught wearing a skirt that you were fixing for Historia. By both Connie and Levi.

☆ Levi who went pale in the face and looked as though he was secretly praying for his own demise to come soon as he slowly closed the door and walked away.

☆ And Connie who laughed so hard he choked on his own spit and had to be helped to the infirmary because he was now coughing every time he breathed. So Karma ig 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

☆ He just has to touch you..

☆ Oh God he wants to. He's gonna find a way. Whether it's a little shoulder nudge when you're complimented during meetings by higher ups. Or pats on your back.

☆ If you confide in him about your lack of confidence before a mission he's gonna sit with you and talk you through your feelings.

☆ He does this thing where he leans into you when talking. Rests his hand on your lower back as his breath touches your ear. Whispers sweet compliments into your ear because you need that shit.

☆ And it's good enough to make your toes curl.

☆ Guides you by the wrist through thick crowds so you don't get overwhelmed or lost and sometimes you expect it so you reach out for him and the two of you end up holding hands instead.

☆ He's become your little nurse. Like of course he's worried when you get hurt but there's also the opportunity to fix you up. So silver linings 🙄.

☆ If you're allergic to anything he doesn't have it in his first aid kit. Sometimes you'll get like the smallest little bruise on your knee of some shit. And it's not even from training, you just happened to trip while cleaning the stables and now: thumb sized bruise. But he's like "I don't care, sit so I can clean it."

☆ "It could get infected!" He'll try to convince you but like no, no it couldn't come on now it wasn't even really bloody..

☆ If you just so happen to have extra chores he'll go out and bring you some water then offer to help. Or he'll just ask Levi if he can go help you.

☆ "Those boxes could be heavy." He'll tell the Captain. "We don't need anyone getting unnecessarily injured before the next mission." And of course Levi knows what he's doing and sends him to go help because he honestly doesn't wanna listen to this anymore.

☆ If you have back problems or even if you don't he wants to carry your bag. No you don't get a say in it. But you can go ahead and argue with him if you want to.

• "I just think it looks too heavy."

• "Jean, I'm ok I promise."

• "Ok how about this? Let me hold it for a couple minutes then I'll give it right back."

☆ Yeeeaah. You're not getting your shit back. He's gonna walk you all the way to your designated location and then put the bag down where you need to be for that time period. Even if it completely inconveniences him.

☆ And he won't tell you that he had a meeting that he's now over 12 minutes late to. You don't need to know it'd just worry you for no reason.

☆ He has adapted some sort of like sixth sense when it comes to you. Like sometimes he'll wake up in the middle of the night to pee and just so happens to walk past your bedroom door as you're reading a book on the floor or crying or something.

☆ And now he's sitting with you even though his organs are currently failing.

☆ He'll bring you a glass of water or tea or whatever you want. You want food? He'll find it. Want a book? He'll go get it.

☆ Sometimes he sits in bed with you and just lets you cuddle up to him or reads you a book as you lay on his chest listening to the unsteady beats of his heart. Unsteady cause ya know it's you laying on him. And yeah his face is becoming redder by the second but he can't stop staring at your sleeping face. Even if you snore louder than a titan stomping he doesn't give a single fuck.

☆ At some point everyone thinks you two are dating and they talk to you both as if this is the case but you're not! At least not until Jean finally explains that yes, he does have, "Feelings for you." Tells you exactly how long in fact because to him it's crucial.

☆ When he kisses you it's the type of kiss that makes you suck in air. He takes you by the shoulders, slowly looking for even the smallest bit of hesitation in your face and presses his lips to yours. When you pull away you're lightheaded, pupils blown as you look at him with stars in your eyes.

☆ "Oh.. wow." Is all you mutter.

☆ Good luck, you just fed his giant ego.

•Modern verse:

☆ Modern day Jean is more shy and reserved. He'll definitely try to become your friend but he probably has a lot less opportunities to get you alone.

☆ If you both work at the same place you're probably both confined to your own spaces and if you both go to the same school you might have separate classes.

☆ So here's what he's doing: finding anyway, shape or form to invite you out.

☆ He got an extra ticket to a concert. He'll just not tell Connie and invite you to come with him. Because you know.. you deserve a break after work right? There's a new restaurant opening near him? Cool he's already on the phone telling you their entire menu. (He might have memorized it before calling but he won't tell you he's reading off the menu.)

☆ Sometimes he might go to your desk and leave you something sweet or cute. Like candy or little desk ornaments but he's always too shy to write a note that has his name at the bottom so he settles for staying anonymous. His heart immediately grows three sizes when he sees you playing with the desk ornament he left or eating the candy while typing away at the computer.

☆ He'll look out your favorite band so he can find out when they'll come to the city where you guys live and buy the tickets. Maybe he stays up all night, what does it matter sleep is for the weak.

☆ Or he'll find out your favorite restaurant and go there when he knows you might be going so he can just happen to run into you. No obviously it's not creepy. 😑

☆ If he can't seem to connect with you plan b is to pimp out Sasha. He just has to connect with you! So he'll get Sasha to find out any useful information on you and report back or he'll ask Sasha to become close with your best friends.

☆ If not Sasha then Connie 🤷‍♀️

☆ Once he gets useful information that's when he steps in. Oh you have a presentation for school to work on? He's at your door at 10pm with snacks (that he knows you love thanks to Sasha), energy drinks, and information on the topic you're working on.

☆ I'm talking he brought papers full of information in case you need to beef up your slides. He also brought his own laptop so he can search up any information that seems incorrect. He'll listen to you as you talk about your project and give you feedback on your performance.

☆ This might take all night but he can't help his desire to help you. And of course he's not gonna tell you if he has his own homework to work on.

• "You think it's good? Really?" You'll ask as you close your laptop for the night.

• "You're gonna get an A. Especially since I helped so now it's guaranteed."

• He loves the way you snort and roll your eyes at him when he says this.

• "Thanks Jean, you're a life saver."

☆ If you hug him you might also need to help him up off the floor or bandage him up cause he's gonna hurt himself from the shock and excitement.

☆ If you have a work presentation or just in general need help with something you're doing for your boss. He'll dedicate as much time as he has open to helping you with that too.

☆ Need coffee before your presentation? He's running to the nearest shop. Don't really understand the project your boss gave you? He'll work you through it the whole night.

☆ If you happen to tell him on a Friday that something in your house needs fixing all of a sudden he's 'Fix it Jean' now he's telling you he can fix it tomorrow and the second he hangs up he's looking up how to fix a clogged valve or some shit.

☆ And Sasha and Connie are like, "Sir, what made you think you were a handy man??"

☆ He manages though. Brings like three books to your house and looks through all of them simultaneously. Thinks he messed everything up and is about two seconds away from crying on your floor like a toddler with a spilled juice box but he pulls through surprisingly. Has your shit fixed and gets a little kiss on the cheek.

☆ Which leads into him guiltily explaining the truth and telling you everything. From the trinkets to the tickets to now with this thing he nearly ruined in your apartment. But he's so relieved to see you're grateful for everything instead of annoyed like he'd been believing in his head.

☆ Now he gets a real kiss. And Modern day Jean is built different. He's so nervous to touch you like you're made of glass. But when he does he's got his hands on your sides, keeping you in place like you'll run. Your fingers delicately threading through his hair. Giving you the kind of kiss you don't wanna pull away from. You become so quickly attached to the taste of his lips and the subtle beats of hesitation still lingering on him.

☆ You wanna pull his tongue into your mouth. Keep him so close but he pushes you back. "I wanna take you on a date." He mutters with glassy eyes and bright cheeks.

☆ And obviously you say, "Yes."

(The informed simp): Armin

•Aot verse:

☆ As everyone has said a thousand times before. Armin is an informed simp. And within the first week of knowing he has a crush on you he has information on, your family life before you joined the Corp, your favorite food, your favorite color, your favorite flower, your hobbies etc etc.

☆ And every bit of that information is stored in his file cabinet like brain.

☆ When he found out your favorite color he wore it as often as possible in out of uniform situations. Even if it was just accenting the rest of his clothes he found a way to wear it somewhere.

☆ He skimmed through books that had information on attraction and started subtly complimenting you to make you notice him.

• "Hi, [Name] that jacket really brings out your eyes."

• "It's the same jacket everyone's wearing Armin.."

• "Oh.. yeah.."

☆ Sneaks references to things you like into conversation as often as possible. Because you know, right after a meeting is the best time to talk about how your favorite song is tied to the fact that your mom used to sing it to you to help you sleep?? 😃

☆ More power to him.. he's a little confused but he's got the spirit.

☆ He slipped flowers into your favorite books but it didn't really seem to matter because he was never there when you actually encountered the flowers. (But he did often see you talking about the plants with your friends and twirling them between your fingers) good enough.

☆ He found out ways to better help your digestion. You know because what's love if not healthy bowel movements.. cause like every other attempt made him look stupid so he looked through some books on foods to help keep your colon healthy. And he explained it over dinner..

☆ Safe to say the only one who thought this topic was at all interesting was Levi.

☆ He's absolutely bombing and he hates it. At this point you only give him shy little smiles and then just walk away. He knows you probably don't hate him but he hates that nothing is working for him.

☆ At some point Eren's talking to him solo and he explains that he knows about his crush on you. Following it up promptly with, "Why don't you just tell [Name] that everything you were doing wasn't to be weird, at this point coming clean is probably the only way you could still have a chance."

☆ And he hates it that Eren's right. But he marches right up to you when you have chores out in the stables because if he didn't he'd never say all the things rushing around in his brain.

• "Hi Armin." You greet with that smile.. that smile that makes his stomach tense and his heart want to burst.

• He breathes in before replying, "[Name], I.. like you.." You pause where you're getting water for the horses to see his sun kissed red cheeks. "Everything I've done is because I really like you.." He continues, letting out a shaky breath.

☆ A period of far too long goes by with neither of you saying a word and his blue eyes flicker up to you in concern. When you clap your hands together he nearly parts from his skin.

• "Oh! That explains the weird compliments and the stuff about my mom!" You sigh, slapping your head with a smile. "Oh thank God. Armin I like you too."

☆ More silence because 1. He didn't think you'd like him back and 2. Holy shit you like him back!! He's simultaneously having a party in his brain and melting into the floor.

☆ When he finally kisses you it's unsure. Makes you lean into him. Sweet but subtle like gentle breezes on a hot day. His mouth is closed and his arms cautiously wrap around your waist looking for any sign that you want to get out. But you don't. You just wanna keep pecking his cute little lips because he's so cute and everything he's done is so cute.

• "Finally." You guys turn to see Mikasa and Eren.

• "It's about time." Mikasa greets with a little smirk.

☆ And Armin is practically fainting trying desperately to explain that it wasn't what it looked like but his face continues to tell your little audience that yes. Yes it is what it looks like.

•Modern verse:

☆ Modern day Armin is equipped with an advantage.

☆ Fucking social media.

☆ He went to your page and found out your birthday, your family's last name, how many friends you have in real life. Shit if he dug around long enough he could've probably found your heritage portfolio and your social security. (Social media's a little dangerous sometimes..)

☆ So when he becomes your friend and gets your cell number (Another thing he could've probably dug up online.) He sends you things you might love at any and all times of the day. He spends every free second he has, from lunch time to the last hour he has before he really has to go to sleep researching shit you might like so he can send it to you.

☆ And modern day Armin is so sexy in how he manages to get you into a ton of situations featuring him, your cute little blond simp. Modern day Armin needs to write romance anime 😭

☆ He heard you like aquariums not only did he send you a website to get those tickets way cheaper but he also invited himself (telling you that he was already going). And planned to take you around the city to get your favorite food and any other activities where he could drop his extensive knowledge on marine life. Oh you love astronomy? No problem he was just about to go to the planetarium this weekend, you should definitely go along so he can take you to the planet's light show and stare at you instead of the stars.

☆ Oh your favorite movie is coming out? He had no idea.. he just happened to have an extra ticket to see it the day it comes out. Not only is it now free of charge to you for that but he's also already brought a bunch of your favorite snacks to line his backpack with. Even if your favorite snacks are from a different country he got them express shipped so they'd be there sooner.

☆ He also has weather apps on his phone and laptop so that he'll know if the weather changes even the smallest fraction so that he can take you anywhere else if needed.

☆ Yes he definitely has spent a shit ton of money on you but every time he takes you somewhere your face lights up so beautifully that he'd repeatedly slam his credit card on the table to buy you a plane ticket if you even hinted at wanting it.

☆ In this beautiful opposite world you definitely confessed to him. (You better for his pain and suffering.)

☆ He could've jumped for joy knowing his plans worked perfectly but he simply takes a deep breath, eyes full of contentment as he mumbles, "I feel the same way."

☆ When he kisses you it's with his thumbs lightly rubbing the small of your back. Chewing gum spit out only fifteen minutes ago so his breath was still perfectly fresh. Adding just enough tongue to make you arch and gasp into his mouth. And yeah, he read up on how to do that too. And now that you're his, he's gonna need two jobs cause he came to spoil. No you don't get a say in it.

(The interested simp): Eren

•Aot verse:

☆ Yeah I know this one's weird but let me explain. Eren's simping capabilities are so simple they can be so easily described as, interested.

☆ He legit figured out he had a crush on you and then about 15 minutes later he'd found out everything you'd wanna be if you lived to see the end of the war.

☆ It's so obvious he's simping hard, I mean man's was enamored by you talking about your parents workshop back home. 🙄 You know what I don't even think he was actually interested he was probably playing it up but lowkey disassociated

☆ He definitely gets made fun of for it on the daily too but unlike Jean he kinda shrugs it off.

☆ He's not gonna scavenge the earth for information on you. He's gonna let you tell him and he wants you to tell him. Tell him literally everything about yourself and you will cause he'll know if you don't.

☆ Sometimes he plays little games with you to try to figure out some kind of information about you on like a long ride back from a mission or something. It helps him ease the tension in his brain and gives him something new about you. Win-win

☆ He beat the fucking system by just getting you to talk about you and dropping things you both have in common into conversation. He really did better than Armin!

☆ If you have trouble during training he'll talk you through what you're doing wrong and help you work through your issues. If that leads to some touching well then that's just how things will go 🤷‍♀️

☆ The second he has your favorite color in his mind he's buying you a piece of jewelry with the same stone color. Yes this is him marking you as his and no you probably won't realize but the second you put it on in his eyes you belong to him. And now you can never take it off. 😃

☆ He has a little notebook (not for writing journal entries or anything.) It's just sometimes he forgets certain things you tell him and you pretend to pout when he asks for the information again so he writes it down in the notebook so he can read it and remember it again.

☆ There have definitely been instances on more than one occasion where the two of you would stay up all night talking. Sneak into the other person's room. Sitting on the floor together or side by side on the bed. Those are definitely the best nights because you get to show off your Eren trivia and prove you've retained just as much information on him as he has about you.

☆ Another scenario has presented itself in which you're the one who ends up confessing. Eren would come close cheeks flush with pink and whisper, the ghost of his lips on yours, "I think it's kinda obvious how I feel." When he kisses you it's with both hands cupping your cheeks. So hot against your face. Thumbs curving delicately over your skin. He's leaning into your lips over and over again. Recapturing them every time he pulls back but he also loves making you work for it a little, smirking when you have to strech to capture his lips again. Taking every bit of oxygen from your body. You kinda hold onto him with slightly shaky arms when he's finished. But honestly he's only finished for now cause he'll never get enough of your lips now that he's had a taste.

•Modern verse:

☆ Modern day Eren talked to you before he realized he was attracted to you and you haven't gotten rid of him since the day he realized he wanted you.

☆ He sees you walking to your next class or to the copy machine and he trots his way over to match your pace.

☆ When he's not with you, he's texting you nonsensical stuff he thinks you'll find funny. And when he is with you he's listening to every word you say with the dopiest grin adorning his features.

☆ Sometimes when you're talking he'll unsubtly lick his lips to see if he can make your eyes follow his tongue or he'll lean in closer, kinda crowding you a little if you're both standing. Speaking of crowding he pulls you into him by your hips if you just happen to be standing in the way and someone needs to get past you two.

☆ You'll never understand how much harder he falls for you when you look up at him through your pretty lashes. Hands slightly on his chest.

☆ He loves annoying you. Doing little shit like poking you with the eraser on his pencil or snatching your books from you when you're writing while he's talking. Cause he just thinks you should be staring into his eyes while he talks in the same way he does with you.

☆When he brings you dinner he always brings himself something to eat as well and he'll plop down next to you and ask you for details about your day. Smiling fondly at you when you complain about minor inconveniences.

☆ He loves your fingers so much. If he's not staring into your eyes he's looking at the way your thumb drags over your dripping boba/coffee. The way your fingers click perfectly over every key on your laptop. Every now and then he'll reach out for your hands massaging the knuckles because he just wants to touch them so bad. Bonus points if you smile at him while he does it.

☆ Not gonna lie it could definitely go either way with a confession. But it's probably more likely going to be on you unless he just so happens to accidentally confess while sleepy or drunk.

☆ When he kisses you, he cups your chin pulling you close, angling his tongue so it slides right up against your teeth. He softly hums into your mouth and you can tell he's at least a little nervous but his touch is so perfect. His thumb sliding over the edge of your lips as he sucks your tongue into his mouth. You're more than a little ashamed at the whine you let out when he pulls away. But the way he's blushing makes you feel at least a little bit better.

(The Childish simp): Connie

•Aot verse:

☆ Let's be honest, he doesn't know what he's doing. You know, cause you're his first crush.

☆ He's going to work extra hard to drop even the most random jokes and then look directly at you hoping you laugh. Just laugh cause if you don't he might repeat the joke again and that'd be uncomfortable for everyone.

☆ And when you crack a joke he's out here guffawing like it's the best thing he's ever heard. Like he'll legit pause all conversation with his loud ass laughing and everyone in the room is just like: 😒

☆ If he gives you gifts they're normally things he thinks are cool or awesome but every now and then he'll pick a flower and just randomly stuff it in your hair and when you look at him confused smile adorning your face he'll say, "It fits your face." And then awkwardly gesture at you. All you can really say is thank you.

☆ He practically crashes into the seat next to you at meetings. Jean dead ass started pretending to race him for the seat next to you and one time he tipped the chair over and fell on top of it, Levi made him reenter the room properly after he'd managed to stand up.

☆ He sometimes does that I'm not touching you thing to get your attention or taps your shoulder then looks away as you turn to look at him. He'll poke your shoulder a couple times until he's successful in keeping your eyes on him then he'll hover his finger over your head or shoulder until you roll your eyes.

• "Connie.."

• "I'm not even touching you!" He'll laugh

☆ He does nice things for you but they never really work out well for him. One time he got you a glass of water because he thought you looked thirsty and he placed it in front of you when you weren't looking. You turned from where you were talking with Historia and your elbow tipped over the cup spilling its contents all over your lap and meeting notes. He felt so so bad.

☆ One time you tripped during training and got a huge scratch on your leg and Levi stepped in to care for you. He asked Connie to go get the alcohol and in his excitement he ran back and tripped spilling the entire bottle all over the floor. Eren had to go run to the closest store and get more.

☆ At some point in time he walks into your room and sloppily pours his feelings out to you as you sit on your bed staring at him in confusion. His face is like beet red and he's breathing like he just ran a marathon. But you laugh and tell him you think he's adorable. You think he's gonna hug you when he pulls you in under your arms but he just holds your back super tight with both hands and swings you around till you can't stop giggling. His kiss is sweet a little sloppy cause it's his first but he's eager and cute as he pulls you into his chest. Probably bites your lip in a playful way and you can't help but lean into him.

•Modern verse:

☆ Modern day Connie is probably annoying the fuck out of you. He sends you memes all day! Put your phone on silent all you want you'll just come back to 40+ messages. And he likes to call you when he's not busy which means you're forever regretting giving him your number.

☆ He'll deadass go to the bathroom and face time you in the stall talkin bout some, "What're you doing right now?" And you're like, "Mfer what are you doing right now!"

☆ He takes any given opportunity to flirt with you and he's so goofy you won't realize he genuinely means everything he says,

• "I really hate your last name." He randomly says

• "What'd my last name do to you?"

• He shrugs, "I think you should change it."

• "To what?" You scoff

• "Springer 😘"

☆ And he calls you for the stupidest shit when he's at home:

• "Connie, what's wrong? You called me like four times in a row."

• "Which animals do you think would be the bitchest if they spoke human?"

• "Bye Connie 😑"

• "No wait!"

• "What?"

• "Send nudes."

☆ Loves to lay on you when you're sitting. Like he'll deadass drop his whole weight onto your back while you're sitting in your desk chair trying to work. He's just looking for a way to touch you and doesn't know how to express that.

☆ Yes he does have you in his phone as something crass and no he's not willing to change it. Most likely some shit like fat ass with a heart or Mommy/Daddy as a personal joke.

☆ And yeah you find him super annoying until this one night when he's texting you pics of his old family dog back home and he tells you everything about the dog's life from when he was a puppy to the day he passed and he shows you pics of him kissing the little pups head and holding him and things like that. The last video he sent was him crying while holding a framed photo after the dog's passing during Christmas time. And it's the first time you've ever been provoked to hug Connie instead of choke him.

☆ When the time finally comes for Connie to tell you his feelings you're in a good place to accept them and tell him you like him back. And that's when he pulls you in around the neck and gives you a surprisingly natural kiss. His mouth is parted slightly, hands gripping the back of your shirt a little as he keeps you close. He allows you to take the lead. Forehead warm where it's pressed against his. You both can't help but stay like that for awhile.

(The lowkey simp): Levi

•Aot verse:

☆ Rule number 1 you cannot know he is simping. He'll take it to his grave but if you're not oblivious you'll probably catch on.

☆ When he disassociates during a meeting his eyes get darker in the middle and he just rests his chin on his palm and stares at you. Doesn't matter that the meeting has been going on for more than an hour and he has yet to blink. He doesn't even know he's doing it. When he comes back down to earth he just blinks normally and looks away. And if no one tells him he'll honestly continue to do it. Sometimes in different positions, he's laying back in his chair head forward but his eyes are on you a couple seats down on the other side of the table.

☆ He picks up items whenever he goes into town. And I mean every. single. time. For you and he makes sure it's something you'll love and while you're out training he'll stuff it in a box and place it on your bed.

☆ He writes you anonymous notes with little inspirational words on them in places only you'll find them. But it's inspirational in Levi terms so it's shit like, "Stay alive for tomorrow." And "Don't look down because the sun is up."

☆ When he needs a break from work he just closes his eyes and thinks about you. Sometimes he does it just because he secretly loves that warm floating sensation he gets.

☆ Like Eren he'll trot up beside you whenever he can. But he won't say a word unless you say something first.

• "Hi Captain." You greet when he pops into your peripheral vision.

• Genuinely can not help how soft his eyes are when he looks at you, "Hello." He replies

☆ He'll find some reason to complain about the way his entire squad cleans their rooms so that he can also have an excuse to say he'll reclean them so that he has an excuse to make a bee line for your room first and be trapped in your scent. Taking your sheets off the bed and holding them to his chest, sweeping, getting that extra elbow grease on the windows so they're more spotless than even his standards.

☆ And of course because he doesn't want you to know he's simping hard for you he has to deal with you paying him the same amount of attention as the other higher ups which he hates with a burning passion. Like why don't you like him more? He does way more for you on a level that you can see. You should be more affectionate towards him. You talk to him everyday.

☆ I don't think I need to tell you Levi's shy so you'll be confessing. And you start by telling him you know the notes are from him because while Levi's intelligent he's also stupid. Like who the fuck else has access to your uniform clothes and would care enough to go in your drawers just to leave a piece of paper with the words, "Life is never so shitty that you can't at least better yourself."

☆ He kinda just lowers his head as pink soaks his entire face. And you lift his chin up to press a slow chaste kiss on his lips. He doesn't touch you. He can't bring himself to but he manages to kiss back. His irises so bright when you pull away. "Thank you Captain." You tell him before you leave. He's definitely genuinely worried his heart is getting ready to explode as he stares at the closed door.

•Modern verse

☆ Modern day Levi is a fucking mess. He doesn't know shit about having a crush and he knows it's you really early into meeting you but he's like, why them. He managed to spend his entire existence avoiding romance and yet here you are. He doesn't even know what he wants from you so sometimes he comes off a little more aggressive when he's talking to you.

☆ He stares directly into your soul when you're sitting across from him for any reason. You had to have had a crush on him first because he genuinely doesn't know what to do with himself.

☆ If you invite him somewhere he scoffs immediately following it up with a, "I'll be there."

☆ He rereads your messages whenever he's bored. And if you send him good morning texts he'll be thinking, morning beautiful angel. The one time you sent him a good morning text with a heart he analyzed it so long that he never replied back to you.

☆ The second he figured out how to use personalized ringtones he made yours something soft and sweet. Most likely with violins or maybe with a harp.

☆ A couple times while he was bored during a meeting or class he wrote your initials in cursive in his notebook. One time he wrote it on the front of his notebook by accident and had to throw that one away. Which honestly made him sad because he really liked how it looked.

☆ When you confess to him it's by accident and the way his face lights up is actually the most precious thing you've ever seen. He comes back down to earth slow and admits that he "feels the same." Under his breath of course but you heard and that's what counts.

☆ When you kiss him you instantly notice how small his lips actually are 🥺🥺 like you've stared at them before when he was eating and stuff but his lips are cute and so small. And he's so hesitant to kiss back. But then he does and you can kinda feel the tension leave him a little. His arms a little shaky as he supports himself. It probably looks like two middle schoolers kissing for the first time honestly. Right down to the sitting on the edge of the bed thing. But Levi's lips are so warm and he's such a naturally good kisser that you indulge for as long as you can.

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

You had met Aelin sometime after the war. She had been wandering around town a couple days after the coronation, smiling at children and waving at the elderly, observing the way the town was slowly filling again, people returning home now it was safe. There weren’t many people about however, it just being seven in the morning.

She had walked past a shop then. It was small and rickety, the door barely on its hinges as a girl fought with it, swearing like a sailor.

“Do you need some help?” she asked, moving to stand beside the girl. You screamed instantly, jumping out of your skin at her sudden appearance, having not heard anyone coming due to how absorbed you were in your job. Aelin screamed when you screamed, and it left the two of you staring at each other with wide eyes before you fell apart in fits of laughter.

You stood from where you had bent to clutch your stomach, wiping tears from your eyes as you calmed down.

“Jeez you fucking gave me a heart attack,” you laughed as she apologised, still giggling behind her hand. You then turned, hands on your hips as you glared at the door of your shop.

“Rude men should be put down,” you muttered and Aelin was laughing again.

“That I can get behind,” she said as you opened it, giving up on fixing it completely, Aelin gasping when she saw the inside.

“You have a bookshop!” she exclaimed, and you laughed.

“Had, now I just have dusty books and a broken door. It was my mother’s before…” you trailed off and Aelin put a hand on your shoulder.

“I’m sorry,” she said, and you shrugged.

“It’s fine, it was ages ago anyway,” you stepped further into the shop, going to the large window up front and tugging of the white sheet that obscured it from light. “However, this shop isn’t dead yet so might as well get it done.”

Aelin looked around the shop, the paper on the walls was peeling, the paint on the shelves cracked and the books covered in a fine layer of dust. “Damn, where do we start?” she asked, rolling up her sleeves and grinning at you when you whirled around, frowning at her.

“Doesn’t the queen have better things to do?” you asked, and she shrugged, laughing at your bewildered expression.

“I’m sure my husband will cope.” You gave her an unsure look at that, and she laughed, “He’s competent.”

“If you say so.”

“If you knew I was queen you really have no fear of authority do you?” she asked as you started pulling books down and pilling them onto the sheet you just pulled off the window.

“Respect is earned, plus you’re the one who made me shit myself.” She laughed again, smiling widely, and helping you take down more books as she realised this was the most she had laughed since the war ended.

The worked all day. First removing the books and putting them upstairs in the rundown apartment you lived in, filled with plants, blankets, and somehow even more books. Next the repainted the shelves, setting them outside to dry while they re-wallpapered the walls and cleaned the floor until it was shining.

When the sky got darker you swore as you realised neither of you had eaten all day, going up to your new friend and asking her what she wanted for dinner.

“I make really good pasta,” you had suggested, and she had nodded enthusiastically as you went upstairs to your apartment, drinking wine as you cooked together. As you ate on the floor, drinking yet another bottle of wine, this time straight from the bottle Aelin asked about your past.

You assured her it was relatively normal, asides from the whole ‘evil tyrant thing’ as you put it. You talked together for hours, going back downstairs, and bringing the now dry, sage green shelves back in and putting all the books away, setting them in categories.

Hours later Aelin decided to go home, not wanting to worry so much and she opened the still broken door, the both of you laughing as you realised you had forgotten a pretty integral part.

“Hey, you could just name the shop, ‘the broken door’,” she suggested, and you smiled.

“That would work.”

When Aelin got home she was met with a concerned Rowan, asking where she had been all day.

She smiled at him, pausing before answering, “I think I have a new best friend.”

Rowan frowned at that, “And what brings you to that conclusion?”

“Today was the first time I’ve laughed since…” she trailed off as silence fell at the thought of their past few months, Rowan then bringing her in for a hug.

“You know this means I have to meet her too then,”

“Nope my best friend get your own.” She shoved him playfully, falling asleep next to him that night with a smile on her face.

They went to see you the next morning and Aelin laughed when she saw your dishevelled state.

“Did you sleep?” she asked when she walked into the shop and found signs put up and plants dotted around the room as you sat on the floor, drinking a coffee that smelt so strong she almost gagged, much preferring sweeter tastes.

“Sleep is for the weak!” you said, half-heartedly raising your hand.

“And what’s with all the plants?” Rowan asked, frowning as he almost walked into another and you sat up straighter, glaring at him.

“What you too good for plants?” you asked your hands moving over-exaggeratedly as you got to your feet. “Don’t listen to him, he’s just a stinky man,” you whispered to the plants and Aelin laughed at her husbands offended face.

You stood and started walking upstairs, your feet dragging as you went to get breakfast. You heard them follow you and you pushed open the door to your flat.

You had even more plants up here and Rowan rolled his eyes as you moved to open the large windows, letting in fresh air, you then moved about making pancakes, mixing enough for the three of you and adding blueberries when you were finished.

You cooked them up while chatting idly with Aelin and Rowan, only receiving a small amount of judgement when Aelin discovered you didn’t actually have a bed and instead just a mattress on the floor with a sheet for warmth and some soft pillows. Your house was newly decorated, art hung on the walls, plants and candles decorating every surface.

“Tea, coffee, water, vodka?” you offered them drinks and Aelin whined.

“No vodka, we had too much wine last night,” you laughed at that as you served up coffee and pancakes.

“Yeah we’ll have to go properly drinking some night,” you muttered, Rowan chuckling under his breath and nodding in agreement.

The three of you ate the rest of your food, laughing and joking together and Rowan really noticed the difference in Aelin’s manner. She hadn’t been truly comfortable or at ease in months, always looking over her shoulder, but now she sat laughing with her friend and Rowan wanted to thank you a million times over for bringing her back out of her shell.

Since you first met Aelin you were meeting up almost every day, discussing books over tea and hanging out at your shop, or drinking from expensive glasses in her castle while trying on elaborate dresses. Soon you were practically apart of the family, but that didn’t stop the confusion Fenrys felt when he walked into the castle and found a young girl sleeping on Aelins’ bed, a book opened but abandoned on her chest.

He tentatively walked forward so he could see her more clearly and felt his heart clench when his eyes fall upon her peaceful face, her eyes closed, and hair spread around her head like a halo. He was about to reach a hand out to brush a strand of hair from her soft hair when he heard the door open, turning to see Aelin run in, wrapping her arms tightly around him.

“Fenrys I didn’t know you were back,” she said when she pulled back, bouncing on the soles of her feet excitedly and he laughed.

“Are you going to explain why there’s a girl in your bed, or do I need to break some news to Rowan,” he joked and she shoved his shoulder before moving to the bed and shaking the girl awake.

“It’s just (y/n),” she explained as the girl huffed and rolled away from Aelin.

“Ah of course this person who I definitely knew existed,” Aelin stuck her finger up at him as he laughed, unable to stop his eyes from trailing back to her.

He watched as she breathed in deeply, her eyes opening slowly as she took him in, before she pulled her covers up to over her chin and frowned at him and Aelin with a small pout.

“I was having the best dream every asshole,” she complained and Fenrys smiled as she sat up on her elbows and reached a hand out to him to shake, introducing herself. He brushed the shake of and instead brought her hand to his mouth pressing a kiss to the back of it as sparks show through her skin at the sensation.

“I’m Fenrys, ambassador of Terrasen,” he smiled cheekily as she shrunk away slightly, nerves taking over her, “hope to see you around more.”

He left, pressing a quick kiss to Aelin’s temple, and winking at you as Aelin moved over to you with wide eyes.

“Aelin…” you started as she squealed.

“He was totally flirting with you! You would be such a cute couple, please, please ask him out I need you two to get married and have to worlds prettiest babies!” she was bouncing in hr seat as you moved to shut her up.

“Okay ONE, I just met him. And TWO, he was far too pretty for me,” you said and Aelin frowned.

“Nope, nope you are incorrect, and he is going to fall in love with you,” she demanded, and you laughed, kicking her with your foot.

“Mhm sure.”

The next few days, Fenrys was coming to your shop every day. He would bring chocolates and flowers some days, or coffee and pastries other days. Always dropping them off with a smile, before lounging in the plush, green chair in the corner of the shop and talking to you for hours. He has also started coming to your and Aelin’s weekly cocktail night, wrapping his arm around your shoulder’s and laughing drunkenly into your neck as you told stories.

However, through all this you remained ‘friends’. He would press kisses to your cheek and hands, keep an arm slung around your waist when men came to speak at you at bars and primarily referred to you using pet names and rarely ever your actual name. And it was getting frustrating.

You were having to start putting genuine effort to not kiss him every time you had a drink and he sat extra close to you. Or when you were invited to parties, and he moved smoothly through the countless questions asking if you were dating.

And while you revelled in the attention it was tearing at your heart slightly as insecurities told you that he would never actually be interested in you. You wanted to scream at him every time he kissed you but wanted to melt into him every time he hugged you, your brain constantly at battle with itself when he was near.

You knew you were due to explode any time soon. So when you were out one night and he was holding you extra close, you pulled away, muttering an excuse about getting another drink.

Standing at the bar as you waited you rested you head in your hands for a second before you saw a man begin to approach you. He was attractive, not like Fenrys, but honestly you would take anything to get your mind of him at the moment, so you smiled at him, tilting your head.

“What’s a doll like you doing all alone?” he asked, his voice rough and gravelly, unlike the smooth, deep timbre you were used to, but you just laughed.

“Waiting for a man to not dehumanise me,” you bit back, and he raised his hands sheepishly.

“Sorry about that, what would you prefer?” he flirted, sidling up closer to you as you turned to face him.

“Can’t go wrong with ma’am,” you joked, and he laughed, looking down and shaking his head, only to look back up, his eyes going wide. You felt a familiar hand wrap around your waist and looked up to see Fenrys, resisting the urge to roll your eyes as he glared at the man in front of you.

“What do you think you’re doing?” he asked, his voice deep and full of authority, the man in front of you shrinking under his gaze.

“Shit sorry man, didn’t realise she had a boyfriend,” he apologised and this time you did roll your eyes.

“He’s not my-“ you began but Fenrys cut you off.

“Yeah she does, so back the fuck off.” You looked down as he spoke, shaking your head as tears of frustration built in your eyes. You harshly pulled out of his grip, leaving the bar as quickly as you could, wiping away the escaped tears as you heard Fenrys follow after you, shouting your name.

You whirled around when you got outside, your glare murderous.

“You do not get to do that!” you shouted as he moved closer to you.

“Sweetheart I’m sorry,” he began but you cut him off.

“NO! I am not your girlfriend! You have never once asked me to be so you don’t get to try scare away any guy that might have genuine interest in me!” his shoulders slumped as you spoke. Truthfully, he has been working up the courage to ask you out for months, and while he knew it was unfair how he treated you, he couldn’t help himself. He was addicted. He thought of you constantly, the texture of your skin, the smell of your hair, the way your eyes lit up and the way you moved your hands as you spoke. So when he saw you engage with the man that had the audacity to talk to you, his grip tightened on his glass so much it shattered, ignoring the worried looks from Aelin and Rowan as he stomped over to you.

“(y/n) listen, I’ve been an asshole I know,” he raised his hands, tentatively stepping towards you, “But I really care about you, and I want to be yours.”

You laughed bitterly, “You’re just saying that.”

He shook his head vehemently, stepping closer to you again and wrapping his arms around your shoulders so gently, one would think you were made of glass.

“I love you darling, please be mine,” he said into your hair, and you pulled back, looking up at him through glassy eyes before nodding slightly.

“I love you Fenrys,” he smiled down at you before leaning down and pressing a gentle kiss against your mouth, pouring his heart into the action. You gasped slightly as your lips met and he smiled widely against your mouth as the bond clicked into place.

“You know this means I now have an excuse to break the nose of any man that talks to you,” he whispered against your lips, and you giggled, shoving at his shoulder gently.

“I’m still annoyed at you,” you muttered, and his eyes darkened.

“Well I’m sure I can make it up to you.”

Ughhh thinking about the pre-retcon timeline

Honestly I feel like that fit so much better with everyone’s character arcs, as much as vriskagram warms my heart, dirk, rose, terezi, vriska, karkat and even gamzee got better arcs

(Below this is just me spewing nonsense bc I gotta type this out or I’ll go wild)

Dave is the clear winner of the retcon timeline, he gets his cathartic conversation (which I love, don’t get me wrong) and even dirk gets some kinda of closure with Dave, but not really with anyone else

Pre-retcon vriska was honestly really fun and interesting to see grow and change, and (s) remember is just so cathartic to see; I’m not a vriska Stan so that’s all I really have to say about her haha

Terezi’s journey is also great pre retcon, her thing with Dave, her and karkat’s friendship, the pain from killing vriska despite feeling so sure that she did the right thing, the regret from getting her vision back and feeling like she lost a part of herself, not sure how to get it back; it hurts to read but terezi feeling like she needs to brave everything by herself leading to her having to watch karkat die is just ughhhh ouchie ouch but I feel like it just makes so much narrative sense!

Even with rose, although it was pretty painful to watch her fall into substance abuse, it makes sense why she would, and the fact that no one really knows what to do about it makes more sense than “vriska is here problem solved!” I mean pre-retcon roses final conversation with Roxy? Ouchhhh I got a lot to say about it but I’ll cut myself off

Dirk gets the Dave reunion post retcon, but I feel like we get much more emphasis on his like of control in the other timeline, watching him travel alone through space as everything else falls apart; his “I failed” line is so earnest but incorrect that it’s a little pathetic, but in a good way! Dirk tries so hard to be “aloof cool guy who’s got it all together” and then proceeding to fall apart and later tell Jane that he’s “actually a horrible person and completely manipulative”, but both situations put all the control on him! No matter whether he thinks he’s good or bad, dirk makes it 100% his fault, but after Game Over?

Dirk is just a kid, this situation was so out of his hands, and he dies not even acknowledging this, but the readers finally get the most blatant example of “dirk has never known what he’s doing and he’s not to blame, he’s a kid in a terrible circumstance”

I feel like karkat got done the greatest disservice; his whole relationship with gamzee (who I won’t get into too much but I personally believe that watching gamzee slowly lose himself and become a pawn for the game (bard moment) is a lot more compelling than tossing him in a fridge) is completely thrown out in favor of Cool Vriska Moment, thus ruining karkat’s whole relationship with blood

This conversation is just so painful because as nice as it is to know that karkat is going to have some great role in organizing earth C (oh wait that never happened hm), the fact that karkat talks about being so useless like he didn’t lead his session to (almost) victory after spending his whole life afraid of his blood color being found out is just ughhhhh bc yeah! Post retcon, karkat doesn’t do much of anything other than embarrass himself when he’s not just saying something funny; he gets his speech at the end, but it’s entirely alone, which is weird for the “friendship was the real hero all along!“ guy

Pre-retcon karkat DID put everything on the line! For gamzee and then for terezi! But I guess non of that matters now! And ughhhh terezi I wish we acknowledged their relationship more and how it really didn’t work because of their separate circumstances and issues, but they still mean a lot to each other! That one conversation between the two of them when karkat tries to talk her up is just a real show of his growth, after being too aggressive and controlling, and then coming to the realization that maybe his emotions are a lot different than what he was taught they should be, all coming together to karkat just wanting to help someone he cares deeply about as they’re struggling

When he managed to outrun kanaya in a fit to save terezi? Ultimately failing since circumstances still would not let him win? (Think him reaching for the final reward!) like I said, it’s painful but I feel like it’s so much more compelling than turning karkat into a little weasel that no one could possibly like unless they’re Dave

And karkat’s relationship with Dave! I got so invested seeing the two of them go from fake rivals to “kinda friends I guess” to “hey are we still going to be friends after all of this” vriskagram was so cathartic since I still saw these moments as an extension of pre-retcon, but it gets a bit less impactful since we don’t have as much of karkat’s growth from an obsessive kid to someone who’s grown and learned a lot about themselves

Karkat and kanaya’s friendship is always incredible no matter the timeline I won’t be convince otherwise thank you

#pleasssesee tell me the images are in the right order #homestuck #karkat vantas #rose lalonde #terezi pyrope #dirk strider #Dave strider #that was pretty much everyone I spent a lot of time talking about #beef writes #pre-retcon

Little Witch - Part 13

The Darkling x Reader

This is more of a filler chapter, I wanted to write something where reader is in action🤭

As much as you loved to keep your personal and work life separate, the life at the Little Palace rarely allowed for such things. Rumors spread and tensions rose and much to your dismay the privacy of Aleksander's chambers only reached so far. Everywhere you went eyes followed you with a sense of interest, poking and prodding for the details of why the Deputy General had stayed in the Darkling's quarters, but more importantly why you raced out of there in the dead of the night, slamming every door possible with loud echoing thuds.

You ignored it all, you had work to do. Currently, you stood waiting in the courtyard for your horses, your recruited Grisha in tow. You had asked Fedyor for the best soldiers, ones who could be ruthless and loyal. Two Heartrenderers, an Inferni and the Squaller you now knew as Zoya waited behind you, shivering from a sudden gust of freezing wind.

The weather had gotten brutal over the past few days but this mission couldn't wait. You had gotten intel that somehow a Kerch merchant kidnapped Grisha while they traveled between camps and was keeping them in a home not far from the Palace, waiting to transport them across the Fold and use them as indentures. This angered you beyond means of explanation.

Your stableboy brought out your beautiful chestnut brown Arabian, and you quickly hoisted yourself up. You would all be going on horseback despite the weather, for a carriage would slow you down significantly.

'Zoya, I'll need you upfront with me, if it starts to snow heavily we'll clear the way.' You addressed the Squaller, patiently waiting as she got up on her horse and came to rest beside you, giving you a curt nod.

'Ready?'

You brought your horse into a quick gallop, cringing as the cold whipped past you.

******

Riding a horse was only comfortable for so long before your tailbone began to ache. It had been around an hour, but you were almost there as a small village came into view over the hill. You stopped your horse and put up your hand signaling the rest to stop too.

'We leave our horses just there, where the forest fades-' You pointed over to a place just to your right, where tree coverage would protect your horses from the cold. '-we walk the rest of the way. All intel pointed to the house being secluded, most likely right before the village grows more populated.'

The thing with these missions was there was never an exact location, which frustrated you and from the loud sigh Zoya gave, it frustrated everyone else too. You all slid off your horses and walked them to the forest, tying them securely to trees and beginning the walk, making sure to stay hidden behind the trees.

'What's the plan?' Asked the Inferni.

'I go in first, neutralize any threats I can see. Fedyor, keep to my side but be behind me. The rest of you, your main priority is to look for the Grisha. Don't kill anybody unless I tell you to.' You could see the surprised look on their faces and you knew why.

Even though Aleksander was extremely powerful and immortal, he never walked into a fight first, he was always the one to walk into a clear path, never cleared it himself. You did things differently, liked to be in complete control.

'What did the General say about this?' He spoke again.

You stopped and turned to him.

'If you have any issues with how your superior is commanding the missions, I suggest you turn around and learn how to be a soldier.' You snapped. Aleksander had these people wrapped around his finger. He stared at you with wide eyes and almost immediately his composure dropped, succumbing to your intimidation.

'I don't have time for this nonsense.' You scoffed and walked ahead to where Zoya was searching for the hideout.

'Is it that one?' She pointed to a cabin about with a man guarding the front door. Bingo.

'He's too far, I need to get closer.' Fedyor's raised hands dropped down to his sides. The other Corporalnik nodded in agreement.

You turned away from the group and concentrated on the man, feeling for his pulse and once you gathered the understanding, gently stopped The flow of blood, watching as he fell to the snow-covered ground with a thud.

'Don't take offense, I'm much older' You patted the Heartrenders on the shoulders and ran to the cabin. You saw Zoya let out a strong gust of wind to open the door, almost knocking it off its hinges.

Shouts erupted all around and shots were fired. You bled shadows into the hallway, rendering the Kerch men blind, hoping they wouldn't shoot in the dark. Simultaneously, you slowed the heartbeats you could make out, hoping the shouts died down. With luck on your side, the cabin turned silent and you retreated your shadows.

Three men dressed in fine vests lay slumped on the floor, a pistol or rifle in each hand. Fedyor automatically bent down to take the guns out of their hands and looked around for something to detain them with. You could hear the rest of your crew search the cabin, the loud squeak of the cellar latch opening. You too went to look around, opening all the doors that could open and listening for the beating of one's heart. Nothing.

You grew angry at the possibility of the intel being incorrect. You came to the last door on the far end of the home which was slightly ajar. You could feel a faint pulse and as you opened the door, ready to protect yourself when your eyes caught sight of a purple kefta. A Fabrikator? The figure didn't move from where they were standing. Their hands weren't bound and neither were their legs.

'Are you here with the Second-Army?' Her voice was quiet but steady.

'Yes. Come with me' You moved away from the doorframe and into the hallway once again to let the Grisha through.

'Who are you?'

'Deputy General, now come on we must get going' You heard Zoya indicate from the cellar that they had found the Healer.

She moved away from the wall and walked to you with her head down, showing no indication of being thankful for being saved. Doubt pooled in your stomach but you let it go. You returned to the main room and stared at the three men tied up in the chairs but quickly averted your eyes to Zoya who appeared perplexed and for once, you shared her thoughts. The Inferni walked out with the Healer behind him and what looked like a Squaller to his right but nobody said anything. What is going on?

'Is anybody injured?' You spoke first amongst the crippling silence. Nobody responded. Suddenly out of the corner of your eye you saw the Fabrikator take one of the disposed pistols and point it at you, not hesitating to take shots. You deflected as best you could, protecting the others from the bullets but quickly realized the girl was a Durast and wherever she wanted to shoot, she could definitely make the shot.

You looked around and to your surprise, your Inferni was lying on the ground as the Healer battled Zoya. Fedyor was seemingly pushed up against the wall by the Squaller. What in Saint's name is going on. These are not my Grisha. Your falter caused your shadow shield to break and you felt a cold bullet lodge itself in your thigh where your kefta peeked open.

The pain was too strong, clouding your mind and momentarily prohibiting you from accessing your powers. Saints this hurts.

You reclaimed your mind, letting the merciless Cut wander out to her. The Durast screamed in horror as her hand dropped to the ground. You ignored it, letting your eyes wander to the Squaller and knocking her out with a wind so strong it rattled the cabin. Zoya managed to subdue the Healer, tacking to the ground and holding her hands above her head. You shot out a tendril of onyx shadow and restrained her, relieving Zoya of the uncomfortable position.

You were beyond angry, you were fuming. You harshly grabbed at the Durast, slamming her against the wall by the lapel of her kefta, your thigh screaming in pain. You could feel blood pooling in your riding boots.

'What is this?!' You hissed

'You're not taking us back. You will not force us to be part of that army'

'You would give up the Little Palace for the dirty streets of Ketterdam' The venom rolling off your tongue was almost paralyzing.

'If I am to serve your kind then of course. You're probably stealing my power as we speak' The room stilled and your pain was forgotten. Zoya held her breath, even the Healer's stomach dropped.

Something in you snapped, and with nothing more than a flex of your fingers, the girl's neck snapped, her lifeless body tumbling to the ground. You didn't say another word. Zoya took that as a sign to tell the rogue Grisha they will be tried as traitors, and restrained them both, taking over from you.

Your previous words came back into your mind, Don't kill anybody. You shame Aleksander for merciless killing yet you just did the same. You broke your own rule because somebody offended you. You fool.

You wordlessly limped out of the cabin, completely forgetting the bullet wound on your thigh.

***

The ride back to the Little Palace was torturous. The two traitors had been subdued and riding with the heartrenderes. Your thigh was in excruciating pain and upon entering the gates, you had felt completely numb. As far as you knew, nobody knew you were shot. You had left them to deal with the mess in the cabin, too blinded by anger and arrogance to help and act as the leader. But now, the only thing blinding you was tiredness which you knew wasn't good.

Your horse diligently walked to the courtyard doors but you didn't get off, you couldn't. Your eyes had shut on their own accord. The tiredness washed over you again and your head spun.

You could faintly make out the sound of your name being called by Fedyor asking about the traitors, but you paid him no mind, focusing all your attention on trying not to fall off your horse. Your head bopped, but you fought to stay awake and pass the wave of tiredness so you could walk to the healers unit, but it was relentless.

You felt somebody pull the reigns of your horse and lift the cloak covering your leg, you didn't argue. Then the shouts started. You couldn't hear what they said as your head bopped again, once, twice, then you let go.

****

The immense itching sensation on your thigh was overwhelming. If that wasn't the reason for you waking up, it was the loud argument taking place at the foot of the bed.

You managed to open your eyes to see a Healer working on your leg, looking very focused. She spared you a sweet smile then went right back to work. Oh Saint's this is so itchy. It took everything in you not to itch the bloody wound. Thankfully, the raised voices dragged your attention away.

'We didn't know, she just left!' Fedyor.

'If you'd have gotten here 10 minutes later she would have been dead' Aleksander.

'We thought she wa-'

'I don't care. Leave before I do something I regret' The door opened and shut. You suspected the only people left in the room were you, the Healer and a fuming Aleksander. If he knew you were awake, he showed no indication of it. You didn't need to look at him to know he was brooding. Was he mad that I'm injured or that the mission went sideways?

Your hands clenched as the itching sensation got worse. You hated being healed, it was even worse than being injured.

'If you clench that fist any harder you'll break your knuckles' His voice carried no anger anymore, it was soft but had an edge of plea in it.

You didn't respond. You didn't know what to say. You hadn't seen him since the other night when you confronted him about Alina, and he made no moves to approach you since then.

'I'll give you a written report mission once I'm done here.'

'No need. Zoya took care of it already' As much as you had tried to convince yourself you disliked the beautiful Squaller, she had really come in clutch today. You were thankful.

'Alright, that's all I can do for now. You did lose a lot of blood, so take it easy for the next couple of days.' The young girl got up and left after you muttered a quick thank you.

'Are you ok?'

'We just got ambushed by rogue Grisha who had personal vendettas against me, what do you think' You sat up and rested your head against the headboard, reaching for the glass of water on the nightstand.

'I should've cross-examined the intel. If I knew what they were I would've given you more reinforcements.' He leaned against the wall next to the door, sensing your hostility and keeping his distance

'I didn't need reinforcements. I was just caught off guard is all'

'You killed a-'

'Please, don't say it. , it wasn't my proudest moment.'

'Zoya kept it out of the report. Said she got caught in the cross-fire.'

I love you Zoya.

'Do you want me to leave?' His question made you freeze. On one hand, you were still angry about the other night and the comment he made, but on the other Aleksander always made you feel safe and his presence brought you peace.

'You probably have work to do. I do too anyway' You got up to leave the bed, but he quickly walked over to you, pushing you back down. You grabbed his hands out of reflex.

'Take it easy for the next couple of days. Is that not the advice you got?' He cocked a smile and traced a small pattern on your hand. You stared into his eyes and tried to find a reason to not fold into his embrace, you badly needed a hug, and he gives the best ones.

'Alright, but you can leave' Your answer surprised him, it surprised you too. Apparently subconsciously you still held a grudge against him.

'Y/N, Next time you get hit, please tell someone.' He whispered as he swooped down to kiss the top of your head lovingly, letting his lips linger for a moment. Just as you were about to give in and wrap your arms around him, his warmth left you.

'It won't kill you to take a day off.' He teased as he walked out the door.

I never got that hug.
