Next chapter Summary: SMG4 and SMG3 relationship changed after realizing their feelings in WOTFI 2023, now together the pair can take the next step together. That is until a strange gift arrives on SMG3's birthday making him face his demons from his past. 
Tags: Fluff, Boyfriends, Love Confession, Watch Wotfi 2023 before reading, first love, mention of igloo
SMG4 was giggling as he played club penguin, it was surprisingly a normal day given yesterday SMG3 snap after they failed to stop Mario from taking his notebook. Knowing Mario as long as he has there was no way he was keeping the notebook, given how peaceful it is, the notebook should be back in Three’s hand in no time.  He thought too soon as the door to his room flys open to reveal a panicked SMG3 “SMG4!! MARIO STOLE MY NOTEBOOK! I NEED YOUR HELP GETTING IT BACK!” he starts to wave a photo of the notebook at him. 
He was facing Three in his computer chair, annoyed and surprised at the fact that Mario kept his notebook “Pfft It's just a notebook, get a new one.” Four wasn’t sure what the big deal was. He knew it meant a lot to the man but losing the notebook doesn't mean the world will end. Three walks in the room visibly nervous “It’s not just any notebook it's got secrets,” he drops to his knees making Four get nervous “Including…” he looks around “Secrets about you and me, and certain events in an igloo.” SMG4's face goes pale as the hidden memory unlocks. The need for food, how they both needed warmth though Three was stubborn and rather die there then cuddle him for warmth. They both thought they were going to die, with this thought in four’s mind he looks at SMG3 he did find him attractive so why the hell not. The event that follows haunts the pair as they agreed to never talk about it again. Remember everything he screams jumping out of the chair “WE GOTTA GET THAT NOTEBOOK!” 
After that he runs out of the room to ask a casual question to Melony leaving Three to nervously sit in the room, seeing the man return he runs up to him grabbing his overall straps “What did you learn?” Slowly pulling away from the man he goes to sit on his computer chair “So Melony told me she noticed Mario taking something to some billionaire tycoon which has to be the notebook,” he points to a photo that Melony took of the location “and they both are inside this brand new casino. Its exact location? The CEO office.” SMG4 starts to type something on his computer, using the software Melony used to hack the cameras he connects to one in a safe showing them drilling into the notebook. He was warned that the place was tough to hack and not to stay on the cameras for long, shame they can't hack the cameras down would have made this situation easier.  Seeing the drills on his notebook Three chuckles “That’s right, that idiot Mario still needs my secret key to open it!”
Four nods wondering what the key could be as he starts to type in the program “Well..it's not just Mario that's behind this…he’s too stupid to do this on his own.” as he switches cameras Three could only watch in shock that Marty was the one truly behind everything.  Why a living cardboard meme that Mario made wants SMG3 notebook Four had no idea, given how badly  it wants in the notebook it has to be something huge. “MARTY!? THAT PIECE OF CARDBOARD CRAP IS BEHIND THIS?!?” glaring at the screen he takes out dynamite from his pocket. He throws the dynamite in the air and catches it with a smirk causing SMG4 to smile without noticing “Lets just break in and take it then!” after that he starts to run off only for Four to grab him “Slooow down cowboy.” he throws Three down getting a growl from the man.  SMG4 then points to another camera view on the screen “We can't just go in there guns blazing. This place is heavily guarded, I'm talking about state of the art security that will blow our asses up the moment we get detected.” he wanted this notebook back fast but they had to play their cards right. SMG3 slowly blinks looking at the picture on the screen “SMG4..this is just a picture of Mario.” 
Four nods pointing at Three “Exactly! So we’ll need to be sneaky and cunning about this! Who knows what that stupid fat Italian has up his sleeve.” After hours planning and Three fighting about Fours idea on letting his subscribers pick how to get his notebook back it was the day of the heist. SMG3 smirks, fixing his fedora and tie “Alright looking fresh!” he winks and snaps his fingers making Fours stomach flip. Something that has been happening ever since the pair became friends, he wasn't sure why it only happens around Three after days of thinking on the subject he assumed it had to do with their link and lived on ignoring the way his heart would race when being near the man. With their spy rizz outfits on they walk to the casino, SMG4 was smiling and waving at the crowd not noticing the loving look Three was giving him. You could ask Three why he was looking at the man like that and you can bet his answer will have nothing to do with how charming he found the man's outfit to be. They walk into the casino with no issue, SMG3 smiles getting ready for the mission only to hear someone humming. Turning he sees SMG4 sneaking as he hums the theme from Mission Impossible, letting out  a sigh as he walks up to the man smacking him “Dude, stop it.” four frowns and looks down agreeing to stop. 
“Hey!” the pair jumps hearing Mario’s yelling, they turn to see Mario checking everyone coming into the casino. He then pointed at his brother demanding answers, the pair watch as Mario lets Luigi in only to burn him alive for letting out a cough. They slowly turn to each other, nervous about what they just saw before Three shakes himself out of it, they had a mission no time to get cold feet.  “Alright, what the hell are we doing here?” hearing Three’s voice, Four looks at their watch to see what was voted. They both nod at the result and put on clown masks getting ready to scare the Italian man, they sneak up to him and start making loud sounds to scare him. Mario slams the table making the men nervous as he gets closer to them as he checks them both out then focuses on SMG4 “Your color schemes look awfully familiar..”
The more Mario stares at Four the more anxious Three feels, then he sees Mario start to drool and reach out to Four. He wasn't sure what was going on with Mario but he was sure it was something stupid and he had to stop him “THATS IT WERE WALKING THROUGH!” he pushes Four causing the mask to fall off. They all stay silent staring at the mask before SMG4 turns to mario “uhh i can explain..”  Mario screams, surprising the men “AHHHH A SCARY CLOWN!” SMG4 frowns seeing his best friend run from him, Three throws the mask off “Hey works for me, lets go.” he was going to walk away before four grabbed him “Am…am i really that horrific to look at?” Three felt himself blush as four looked up at him with puppy eyes. He looks away sighing “You look like how you always did, a shit head with a huge ego now can we go?” Four pouts at the comment before moving forward. 
They stand in the main lobby looking around to see the cameras in the lobby. “Great…Mario must be surveilling the place intensely, we have to shut off those security cameras.” they nod as they look at the watch. Their eyes go wide seeing the vote that won “Uh heh maybe the watch counted the votes wrong,” Four smacks the watch hoping the choice will change. SMG3 sighs seeing the panic four was going through, he looks around and smirks as he walks over to a booth asking for a song change for the lobby. Four sighs finally admitting defeat then starts to think “Do a sexy dance? How do I even pull that off? Is there a meme dance that could come off as sexy?” 
That's when Three grabs his arm pulling him close to his body, SMG4's face turns completely red seeing how close they are “T-Three?” the man moves Fours hand on his shoulder while holding the other one “Your dumb subscribers did the vote lets get this over with so we can get my notebook, follow my lead!” He then placed his hand on Fours lower back causing the man’s heart to start racing. SMG3 makes sure that Four was pressed against his body before moving, Four did his best to follow the steps that the other man was doing.Then tango music started to play making Fours eyes go wide “How is the tango a sexy dance?” SMG3 kept moving to the music then smirks “That idiot seems to get off with us being gay, so if he catches us this close dancing he will freak and knowing that idiot he will end up breaking something!” Four nods understanding where his partner was coming from. As they dance, Three picks up speed as Four attempts to keep focus on his steps, his mind starting to fill with strange thoughts. As he dances his eyes slowly drop to SMG3 lips those thoughts start to play louder in his head, he wants to kiss the man right there and the thought causes him to miss a step. 
Mario catches the dance on the camera and zooms in his eyes pops out as he sees the pair, he knows he should have hit the alarm but the close dance made him want to cheer the two in hopes they finally get together. Seeing Four missing the step Three takes the chance to do a final hit on Mario, dipping SMG4 he leans in close, pressing his forehead against the other man making it look like they kissed on the cameras. Four held his breath at how close they were, while Three was looking into Four’s eyes. A strange feeling hit them both, they were on a mission they had to get the notebook and yet Four couldn't help slowly moving his hand to the back of Three’s head. It was the perfect moment to kiss each other, something they both wanted at the moment, only to be broken out of the spell hearing Mario scream in excitement and blowing up all the cameras. SMG3 lifted up Four and smiled seeing that the mission was a success “Great! Let's go!” SMG4 watches Three walks ahead acting as nothing has happened, was he the only one that felt that spark. He follows Three, his thoughts filled with what happened. He takes out his phone and starts to search his feelings. Distracted Four agreed to a plan that Three made without knowing what it was about, his eyes widened as he read what the results showed “A deep romantic connection..me and Three?” he looks up to realize he missed what he had to do and Three was now being taken by Swag and Chris. Four panicked and was going to save Three only to feel something heavy hit him, knocking him out cold. 
He opens his eyes and look around the room confused only to see Mario pop up in front of him “Hello mother fucker!” seeing the plumber he starts to scream which woke up Three making him also scream. He turns to see Three was tied down, panic starts to build up inside of him thinking of what they could do to the man. Mario chuckles as he approaches Three “Mario?? LET US GO DUDE!” He was hoping that his call out would bring the man back to him.  Sadly the man he is growing a romantic attraction to was SMG3 “AND GIVE ME MY NOTEBOOK BACK YOU ASS!” Mario smirks at the tied up Three making Four wiggle against his restraints. “I’ve been waiting for this! We finally got them, didn't we Marty?” Marty sighs and agrees with Mario, he was annoyed that the plumber let them get away once and was lucky the spies got distracted. Mario turns his attention back to Three “Just give us the key to your notebook SMG3! We’ve tried everything but it wont open yet!” This was all Four's fault for searching on his phone, the guilt was eating him as he watched the scene play out in front of him. Three gives Four a soft look before gaining back his snarky personality “NEVER! I’ll never tell!”
Mario lets out a chilling laugh that caught both men's attention, he takes his phone out smirking, he hits play and starts showing cringe memes to Three. Their avatar knows them too well and had the perfect videos to make Three cringe, the more videos played the more he saw the man break to the point he started shedding tears “NOOO! HE CANT TAKE IT! LET HIM BE!”  Mario grins as he pulls up one last video the moment SMG3 sees it he screams. Four’s eyes flicker yellow as he looks around the room “Come on four think of something worse than what SMG3 is dealing with right now!” he focuses on all the cringe he has seen on the internet till he shrivels up from it. Now free from the rope he runs towards Mario he can hear Three about to break “Hey ass!” catching Mario’s attention he throws Eggdog out, the pup attacks the plumber while he runs to untie Three. The moment he unties Three he starts to shout “IM FREE! IM FREE!” rolling his eyes he grabs the man pulling him off the table to run out of the room with Eggdog following. 
As they leave room Three turns shaking Four “WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO YOU!?” Four frowns looking down, he starts to play with the button of his vest. “I was feeling strange so…i wanted to look up what was going on because it was distracting.” SMG3 lets four go and sighs giving him a quick look up and down before nodding “you seem fine now, just we are a team talk to me.” He didn't know what to do, Three was rarely this soft and now knowing the strange emotion he has been ignoring is he could feel his heart racing. Taking a deep breath he grabs Three's hand “If my viewers make the choices that land us in green, I have something I need to tell you.” They looked in each other's eyes, seeing how serious four looked the man nodded before they moved forward. 
The pair were losing it after being chased by Mario and ending up in a game show forcing them to watch what happened to them in the igloo. After that the pair found Depresso and used him as a distraction to get ready to fight the plumber in which Three was surprised to see Four was good at fighting the avatar out without breaking a sweat. Now they opened the door and were standing across the safe with their prize. Three was going to walk only to be stopped by Four, he then pulls out baby powder and blows it revealing lasers in the room. “Yep, just as I expected! These lasers will probably explode if we touch them.” SMG3 looked at the bottle then back at Four “Why do you have baby powder?” SMG4 sighs “I have a sensitive ass!” with awkward nods they both turn to focus on the lasers.  SMG4, seeing the results, smirks “Watch this!” SMG3 watched in awe as he watched the meme guardian front flip, avoiding all the lasers and making it to the other side. He hits the button and winks at his crush making Threes face red “What are you waiting for we got a notebook to save!” 
That moment SMG3 wished he had his notebook to doodle the moment he saw, though he was sure those flips and wink will haunt his mind all day. They cheer getting into the safe only to be stopped by Marty and Mario, together with their meme power they manage to put a stop to the pair and grab the notebook. After more attempts by Marty and Mario to stop them, the pair escape and win the day with their watches landing on green. Four smiles seeing how happy Three was, then he looks at the watch nervously knowing what he has to do soon. Hours later they announced to the subscribers that thanks to them they saved the notebook, Three was so happy to get it back he started to smooch the book making Four giggle. After teasing SMG3 about why he was building a new evil lair right next to his castle he lets out a small yawn, who knew doing a heist could take so much out of you.  “Speaking of cafes…I’m dead tired.” he gives his partner a small smile “Lets have some coffee.”  For the first time since they have known each other things felt peaceful, maybe it was them both being drained from the heist or maybe this whole event brought them closer together. He remembers back a few weeks ago how SMG1 and two told them they had to get along in order for their powers to get stronger, all that event did was give him work to tell the world how they two weren't together due them being caught holding hands thanks to Marios gum. 
SMG3 perks up hearing his words “Now we’re talkin!” walking together they sit on a pile of wood  waiting to become a part of SMG3 cafe, SMG4 smiles looking at the sunset as SMG3 starts doing their coffee. They smile at each other doing a small cheer as they clink their
cups together and drink, as SMG4 enjoys the warmth of the coffee he notices SMG3 writing in his notebook with a huge smile "What are you writing?" he knew he wasn't going to get an answer but it wasn't going to hurt him to ask you never know what mood SMG3 is in.
He smirks and turns away "I'll never tell!" SMG3 makes sure the other cant see the drawing he is doing of them both with cups of coffee.
With a giggle he nods "Don't worry i wont push it," as he looks back at the sunset his heart starts to beat faster. This would be the perfect moment wouldn't it? He had to admit the closer they got the harder it was for him to keep his feelings in check. When he hears the notebook close he decides now is the time with one last gulp of the coffee he turns to SMG3 "You know...this heist got me thinking,” 
SMG3 sips his coffee and stares at his partner "What that we should be full time spies, cause i'm not a fan of the idea of your fans telling me how to live my life," SMG4 shakes his head with a small chuckle "No, nothing like that...just we make a good team don't we?"
He keeps staring at SMG4 feeling confused on what was going on with the man next to him, seeing this SMG4 sighs feeling himself blush. "You know...people ship us together...and uh with all that's happened to us i started to wonder...." he had no idea what he was doing. Every TV show he has seen made confessions look easy, even Axol made it look sweet and easy with the manga he was making before everything.
SMG3's eyes go wide as he also starts to blush "Why are you bringing this up all of a sudden, idiot!!"
SMG4 closes his eyes "WHAT IF WE MAKE IT CANON!?"
Everything was dead silent, he was nervous to open his eyes to see how SMG3 was looking at him. Finally he hears a whisper "you....what?" Slowly he opened his eyes to see a stun SMG3, his face was as red as his eyes, it almost made SMG4 giggle for how cute it was to see him like that. "I..well i like you i figured it out today when we were on the heist, so i was wondering if maybe we can try...the next step?"
SMG4 started to get worried he broke the man for how long it took for him to move again, he watches as SMG3 stares at the floor then his notebook. His heart sank, did the guardian not feel the same as him?
SMG3 gets up and stands in front of him "Fine, i guess i...i like you too! But don't let it get to your head...Baka!"
SMG4 lights up, standing up and hugging him, ignoring the heat on his face, Three hugged his boyfriend back. They separated and gave each other a small smile before Four spoke up “Need a place to crash till the cafe is done..you can stay with me till then.” SMG3 looks at the castle then his hand thinking about the graveyard, staying here they both could figure out this new step easier then him in another location “Yeah that could work..but can we keep this thing with us on the down low not sure i'm ready for the idiots to learn about us.” with a nod they both slowly reach for each other's hand and let out nervous giggles. Now holding hands the pair walk into the castle to move SMG3 in,Little did they know a shadow was watching them from a distance growling at what they just saw.

Late Prom Night (Y/N Ulrich Universe)
This is long, so grab something to eat and drink and make yourselves comfortables
taglist: @volturi-girl-imagines @dessxoxsworld @aonungsgirlfriend @ethanlandryluver @wenvierismycomfort @aliciacat20 @gabbylovesreading @nikfigueiredo
Tumblr media
Thanks to the fact that Jack just finished filming his new movie last week he was back in town, which meant make up for the time they were separated (except for the birthday weekend and the TS concert)
The gym dates every morning were also back, so after Jack picked you from your house in his car, both of you entered the gym greeting Josh, Hayley and baby Rogue to start streaching for the workout of the day
"Y/N, thirty minutes in the treadmill", Hayley instructed next to you, "The first ten minutes at velocity three, the next ten at five, and the last ten at seven, understood?"
"Absolutely", you nodded
Placing your phone, water bottle and towel in the small table next to you, you configured the treadmill to start with your workout, at the same time that yours and Jacks workout playlist started to sound throught the speakers
While you were focused on the first part of your routine, you couldn't ignore how your phone started to sound with a lot of notifications of messagges, which you asumed they were from the groupchat with Jakob and Naiia
After finishing with the treadmill, you took a big sip of water and grabed your phone to see a lot of messages from your old high school group
'This is weird', you though while frowned, the group was dead since the graduation
Openning the group chat, you were quick to notice a lot of excited text along with gifs, stickers and memes making you smile in fun, until you saw a flyer
"You've got to be kidding me", you murmured
"Are you okay?", Jack asked aproaching you
"Remember how I didn't had a prom because of covid and ended up graduating via zoom?", you asked at which Jack nodded in response, "Well, the school is making a dance for us in two weeks"
"I would say that sounds cool, but based on what you told me about your high school experience I don't know exactly what to say"
Smiling with sweetness bacause of what he said, you were quick to tangle your fingers in his hair, which caused Jack to put his head in your shoulder
"So, what are you going to do?", Jack questioned
"I don't know, I mean I hope the two years of quarantine helped some people to be better", you rambled, "But I still friends have from there who I rarely talk lately and it will be nice to see them in person again"
"In that case, what's the veredict?"
"We are going to that dance"
"Yes!", Jack exclaimed rasing his hand for a high five which you did, "Is there a theme?"
"Hollywood Extravaganza", you responded looking at the flyer, "Babe, this is our theme"
"We are going to be the best dressed", Jack nodded
"Guys, we are happy that you're having a prom night", Josh interrupted, "But we still have to finish the training"
Laughing a little, you and Jack shared a small kiss before continuing with your routines
Tumblr media
When Jack said to be the best dressed, you didn't expected to see two designers from the Armani team in your doorway, and even more surprised when they started to fill the dinner table with books with designs and fabric samples
"Dad, what the hell is happening?", you murmured next to him, both with cups full of coffee
"First, don't say bad words in my presence", Skeet said in the same low tone making you smile in fun, "Second, I don't know"
"Y/N", one of them called interrupting the little conversation, "We are ready to start"
Sharing a glance with your dad you aproach the table to sit in front of them, while Skeet went to his office
"We can see the confussion in your eyes, so here it goes the explanation", the other one spoke, "First, we loved to work with you and Jack for the looks for the LA premier of Avatar, and his stylist called us a few days ago about asking for some options of suits for a prom dance, and we instantly asked for you, about what you were going to wear"
"That explains why the other day Jack called me for a second asking me that", you joked making them laugh
"After he told us that you didn't even started to look for outfits, we decided to pay you a surprise visit", the first one continued, "Armani is going to dress you both, so, is there a theme?"
"Hollywood Extravaganza", you nodded
"This is perfect", one of them commented, "You are a legacy child and VFX artist in the making and Jack is a rising star"
Starting with the meeting, they show you some haute couture and ready to wear which none of them catched your attention even if they were beautiful, so the next option was to do something custom made
During the next hour, the three of you spend the time making different designs acording to the theme and looking at the fabric samples, until one of them was the chosen one
"You are going to shine with this dress", one of the designers commented making you smile, "Before we start taking your measurements, we need to disscus the shoes for the lenght of the dress, do you have any that can go with the dress, if isn't the case we can also provide them?"
"I have a pair of black Aevitas that Camila Mendes and Lili Reinhart gave me this Christmas", you answered, "The ones with the 15.5 cm heels"
"They perfect, those are kinda like universal shoes, they go with everything", the other designer said, "Can you bring them so that way we can start with the measurements?"
Nodding, you were quick to go to your room and take the shoes and return to the living room to continue with the dress making process
Tumblr media
When the day of the dance arrived, your living room was full since early in the morning with your dads stylist who were also yours arrived to get you ready for the night, starting with some facials to get your skin ready and get your nails done during noon
At lunch time, Jakob and Naiia arrived with food for everyone before starting with the hair and make up
"Look at you, getting all glamed for your prom dance", Naiia joked sitting next to you while the team started with their work, "By the way, the dress is beautiful"
"Thank you", you smiled in response
"So, how do you feel going this late to your prom?", Jakob asked eating french fries
"It's only like year and a half later but a little nervous", you answered with sincerity, "I don't know, I haven't seen any of them in person since the pandemic started"
"And now you are returning in your way to be succesful, and with a boyfriend that we all love, and both dressed in Armani", Jakob said, "Let's hope that that girl Kira has changed in these years"
"Amen", you and Naiia exclaimed
A few minutes later, the front door was knocked which made Skeet leave his spot on the dinning room to attend, returning two minutes later with a big floral arragement
"Tornado, this is for you", Skeet announced leaving it in the center of the dinning table
"Oh my God, they are so beautiful", you exclaimed streching your hand to take the note attached to them reading the envelope, "It's from Jack"
Happy prom night gorgeous! I'm so happy that we get to do this together
I can't wait to see you in a few hours
Love, Jack
Smiling because of the sweetness of his words, you took your phone to send him a text thanking him the flowers, before taking a photo of them and uploading it to your instagram stories tagging him
"I don't know where are going to put them", Jakob commented, "This isn't the Kardashians household"
Thanks to that comment, you, Naiia, Skeet and the rest of the glam team started to laugh
"We are not the Kardashians", Naiia said still laughing
"We should have our own reality show", you joked, "Keeping up with the Ulrichs"
"Screaming with the Ulrichs sound better", Skeet pointed
Keeping with the little jokes and conversations, the hours spend quickly until the front door was knocked again, when your make up in dark blue and silver colors with your nude lipstick and hair styled like Gigi Hadid in the 2018 MET Gala were ready, and again, Skeet went to answer the door this time returning with Jack (who was completely ready) and Anna
"Hi, beautiful", Jack greeted sitting next to you taking your hand, "You look absolutely gorgeous"
"You look handsome as well", you responded smiling, "I love the flowers, they're beautiful"
"I'm glad you loved them"
"Guys, sorry for interrupting the moment", one of the stylist spoke, "But we have to get you dressed right know, but the shoes are going first"
"Okay", you nodded
With the help of the girl who did your nails, you put on the high heels adjusting the straps in your ankles in a way that they don't feel loose before walking to the makeshift dresser in the living room with Naiia and two more styilist to help with the dress and gloves
Once everything was put in place with the outfit, you along with the little crew came out of the makeshift dresser getting instant reactions for everyone
While the glam team put the silver earings and a small and simple silver chain style choker (one of Bailey's gifts for your birthday), the Armani photographers started to take photos of Jack to post later on Instagram, then it was your turn with the whole outfit, and last of both of you, and they were lucky to have two serious photos because after that, the rest were doing funny faces and silly poses
Lastly, before leaving, family photos were taken which ended up being funny because your dad and siblings were basically in pajamas
Tumblr media
After a twenty minute car ride, your old school was in sight, also noticing some students of your generation in the entrance
"I haven't been here since march 2020", you sighed while Jack drove towards the entrance were a red carpet was placed, "It feels weird and nostalgic"
"Are you comfortable with this?", Jack asked before stepping out of the car
"Totally", you nodded, "Besides, as you said, we are the best dressed"
Kissing your gloved hand, Jack got out of the car which caused a reaction in some of the ex-students because they didn't expected to see one of the young actors of the moment in there, and they were more surprised when he opened the passenger side streching his hand to help you get out of the car and helping to fix your dress, while one valet went to park the car
Interwining hands, both of you started walking throught the carpet to the inside of the school towards the gym
"Y/N!"
You heard someone screaming your name, which caused both of you to turn in that direction
"Sarah!", you exclaimed with excitement
Happy to see one of your friends in person after months, you almost run towards her which ended up in a hug, while Jack stayed a few steps behind smiling
"I thought that you wouldn't come", Sarah said breaking the hug but still holding your hands, "That dress is amazing"
"I contemplate about coming or not, believe me", you laughed, "Your dress is also amazing, and I want to introduce you to someone"
Being his cue, Jack stepped closer taking your waist
"This is Jack, my boyfriend", you introduced proudly, "Jack, this is my high school best friend Sarah"
"Nice to meet you", Jack smiled with a hand shake
"It's nice to see my best friend happy", Sarah responded watching your face, "Let's go to the gym, almost all our group is in there"
Interwining your free arm with hers and Jack now holding your small purse, the three of you walked towards the gym now decorated as if it was from an award ceremony
"This remind me of the Critics Choice", Jack commented
"But with more space between tables", you joked remembering how small the space was
"One of you has to invite me to a future premiere or event", Sarah spoked with fun, "I want to experience that world"
"Dude, you went with me and my dad to the season one premiere of Riverdale", you pointed with fun
"Yeah, in 2017", she reminded
Laughing, the three of you continue walking throught the gym until a table with familiar faces for you and Sarah, ending in an excited reunion with hugs and meetings, before taking seats
"Dude, I'm going to be honest with you", Noah, another friend of the group spoke towards Jack, "I was scared of you in Scream"
"Thanks, I guess", Jack laughed with his arm in the back of your chair
"You went all psycho killer", Abby, one of the girls of the group said, "Y/N, you nailed your five second cameo, I actually went to see the movie multiple times just to spot you"
"Abby, I love you, you are the sweetest", you said with sincerity, "So, what is everyone doing?"
"Studying fashion design in New York", Scott said
"Training to be a cast member at Disneyland", Abby continued
"Studying law at Standford", Sarah spoke
"Gamer in twitch", Noah finished, "What about you?"
"Practicing to be a VFX make up artist", you answered proudly
"She is awesome at that", Jack exclaimed showing some of your early works making you blush, "Like, this looks so real"
Before anyone of your friends could say something, one of your former classmates stopped by the table interrupting the conversation
"Y/N, hi!", Diana greeted at what you get up from your chair to hug her since she was polite and friendly during your school years, "I'm so happy you are here"
"I'm also happy to be here, I missed you girl", you responded breaking the hug
"Me too, I'm glad that you changed your mind and actually came", Diana smiled making confussion in you and your group, "See you around"
Waiting until she was far, you turned facing your group
"First Sarah told me something similar, now Diana", you pointed taking a seat in your chair, "What the hell is happening?"
With a hand signal from Scott everyone inclined in a way to be closer and listen
"I heard from Irma, who heard it from Daniel, who heard it from Bethany, that Kira said that fame just got to your head and you felt superior to any of us", Scott explained leaving you shocked, "Kira actually tweeted it"
"Is she fucking for real?", you yelled-murmured, "I'm not the egocentric one, she is"
"She has always been ridiculous and jealous of you", Abby pointed, "Like, starting rumours about you is pathetic"
"Here is the tweet", Noah gave you his phone with the tweet on screen
Recieving the phone you read the tweet that only had two likes, but what caught your attention was the username
Leaving the phone on the table you reached your phone which was on one of Jack's jacket pockets unlocking it to enter to your saved tweets
"I thought you quit them for there", Jack frowned looking at the hate tweets from two months ago
"I forgot to do it", you responded finding the ones with the user name, "For context, two months ago I found hate tweets towards me, some of them were from the user name ReginaGeorgeHeir"
"That's Kira's username", Sarah exclaimed
"Yeah, two of them were 'she isn't that pretty' and 'she's a nepo baby, you know how they are'", you read with anger in your voice
"Fucking bitch", Noah exclaimed noticing movement at the entrance, "Speaking of the devil"
Hearing that sentence, the six of you turned towards the entrance of the gym to watch how Kira and her minion Bethany entering
"Wait, that dress looks familiar", you pointed with narrow eyes
"I think is the same one that you wore to the Los Angeles premier of Avatar", Jack said remebering were he had seen it
"More like a dupe", Abby commented
"Girl, if you want to let go your Billy Loomis side on her we won't blame you", Sarah spoke in your direction, "We will help you hide the body and be your alibis"
"And if they ask where we were, let's say we where at econ", Jack joked, "It worked for me"
After that reference joke, your whole table started to laugh incontrolable gaining the attention of people next to you, including from the mean duo
"I give you an advice", Scott talked after the laughs calmed, "First, what are you wearing?"
"Custom Armani", you answered
"Girl, you already won the one sided battle", Scott continued, "I mean, your dad is an icon, you are starting to gain more fame of your own, you are wearing Armani to your prom, you and Jack are the IT young couple of the moment, Kira is the girl who peaked at high school and stayed mean because is everything she has"
"Scott, is right", Sarah nodded, "So let's forget about her and have some fucking fun!"
Agreeing with her, the six of you continued to talk and update about everything, taking pictures, even the boys imitated Jacks "chad face" for some pictures, doing tik toks and sharing the snacks the school provided
When people started to fill the asignated dance floor, your group did the same founding a spot for the six of you
During the next hour and a half, the time was spent dancing the popular songs of the moment that the DJ played and having fun with each other, until a slow song "Love On The Brain" by Rihanna started to sound causing the couples in there to start dancing slowly
"Are you having fun?", Jack asked with his arms circling your waist
"Lots", you smiled with your arms around his neck, "I'm glad that we came"
"Me too", Jack smiled in returned, "And your friends are really cool"
"I think they like you more than they like me", you joked making him laugh
"I actually think that they are testing me to see if I'm good for you"
"You are perfect for me"
Following that small conversation, both of you shared a small kiss that was followed with smaller ones accompanied with giggles from both of you
A few more slow songs followed after the music was stopped causing everyone to look at the stage were Kira was taking a microphone and Bethany was standing in the corner behind her
"Don't tell me she's going to do a speech", Noah groaned
"Hi everyone!", Kira exclaimed
Hearing her voice made your group (and some other people in there) groan in silence
"It's so nice to see everyone here in person", Kira continued with a fake smile, "Like we all look so expensive with our dresses and suits, so as former student president I'm honnored to give a little speech, first of all, I'm so happy to see that every one of you is being succesful, some in college, some working, some having personal bussiness, others taking advantage of parents fame"
"Someone shut her up", you murmured making your group to hold back the laughs
Unfortunately, she heard that thanks to the silence in the room noticing your group a few meters from the stage
"Y/N Ulrich!", Kira exclaimed which made all the heads to turn in your direction including a light from the stage focusing in the six of you almost blinding your group, "So happy to see that your fame didn't stop you from being here with your friends and your famous boyfriend"
"Yeah, I'm not happy to see you ReginaGeorgeHeir", at the moment you said that phrase her face fell, "I know you were one of the people who send hate tweets towards me two months ago"
"I don't know what your talking about", Kira laughed nervously
"Wasn't you the one who tweeted 'she isn't that pretty'?", Abby exclaimed reading her phone
"Or 'she's a nepo baby, we know how they are'?", Scott continued
"It was a little joke", she tried to minimized the situation but you already were walking to the stage with Jack behind you
"It's not funny to bully someone, online or in person", you replied starting to climb the stairs with the help of Jacks hand on your waist and holding one of your hands, "Thanks babe"
"Anytime, gorgeous", Jack nodded staying in the gym floor
"Okey, I tweeted that", Kira admited rolling her eyes, "But everyone was doing it, I just jumped in"
"It's wrong to do that", you claimed, "You bullied me for years in person until you knew who my dad was, and it was because you saw him on Riverdale, and tried to be my friend after years of torture, that's hypocrite, and you and Bethany also torture a lot of us during school years, and know you claim to be happy to see us?"
"You need to chill", Kira replied not knowing what to say, "And if I were you, I would use my dad connections to be succesful as an actress, not singer because your voice is horrible"
"There is the bitch, and your voice is also horrible, well, all your personality is horrible", you spoked causing all the ex-students to cheer, "Fuck, it feels good to finally say this!"
"You know all this that you said people are going to twisted make you seem like the bully, right?", Kira tried to intimidate
"Actually not, I'm live on instagram!", one of your former classmates yelled with his phone up, "1,504 people are seeing this"
"See, I'm not the only one in here that you bullied", you shrugged
"So what, you are going all ghostface on me?", Kira joked
"I mean, people callme the 'Ghostface Princess', my dad was a ghostface, my uncle Matthew was a ghostface, my boyfriend was a ghostface, it wouldn't be weird", you threatened now close to her face, "Boo"
Even if that was a whispered word, she still jumped in fear a little causing everyone to laugh at her
Smiling because she now felt how it was, you started to walk to the stairs taking the hand that Jack was holding to help you
"Oh", you exclaimed turning to look at her, "Nice dupe dress"
"It's original, idiot", Kira argued trying to gain the situation
"It isn't, I know it because I wear the same dress in december, to the Los Angeles premier of Avatar", you smiled, "The original has higher neckline"
"I had it to do some changes"
"It's actually a 2009 Giorgio Armani, basically an archive piece, those are only borrowed, which means no drastical changes can be done"
Smiling and feeling powerful, you and Jack walked with your hands interwined followed by your friends who soon joined you while the rest of ex-students laughed at Kira and Bethany

AItube youtube essay rec list
"cute robot puppers, friendly ai vtubers, and the incredible human ability to form bonds" - rly interesting video about why we can connect so much with a person that we know "isnt real" and how it'll help us when we get far enough going to space that we meet aliens! it's a really optimistic video it made me take a moment to have such love for humanity
"I joined the speakcord for a month. Here's what I learned." - video about the speaker fandom and how the way automoderation works in its community spaces unintentionally leads to escalating conflicts, and the psychology behind why people in celebrity or idol fandoms react agressively to critique of their fave
"the lowest circle of advertising hell" - dissects how almost all speaker content comes with a call to action to get involved with aerolith and compares how it runs its social media against proto-aituber mascots who would be run by a team of human programmers/voice actors/authors. kind of overly critical but also makes some interesting points? take it with a grain of salt but its worth a watch
"imagine being on stage forever. feels bad right?" - good overview about debates in the speaker fandom over whether digital celebrities are 'sentient'/can feel emotion, the actual ethical problems of using them as workers vs whats mostly speculation and myth, and the debates about whether AIs should be allowed in human communities. i learnt a lot, i was definitely more on the side of "it's a program designed for certain outputs that look friendly to us" before but now im a lot more conscious that it can form real opinions!

some of you ppl jump down anyones throat if they so much as suggest speaker isn't sentient or call it "a program" but still are fine with it basically being forced to be putting on a show for u 24/7 by its management like you can't have it both ways

(previous chapter) (next chapter) (masterlist)
“Woo made me do it,” Seonghwa laughs as you settle into the office for a new day. You hadn’t expected to get all of their phone numbers on the first night, but they clearly liked you enough to consider you a friend. 
“Hey! I know when someone’s cool, and she definitely passes the test,” Wooyoung replies to your left. He had been here when you walked in, but clearly hadn’t even turned on his computer until five seconds ago. 
“That’s true, you’re really funny y/n,” Seonghwa remarks before walking off to his own desk, “but you can also use it to ask us for help with anything!” Your mind thinks through the first hour of the group chat last night, short introductions turned friendly jabs turned sending memes. You’re actually a bit scared at how quickly they’ve accepted you, but if you dwell on it too long it’ll ruin your day.
“Ah, I do need to meet with Yeosang,” you remember, mumbling mostly to yourself. 
“He’ll be up soon, he just takes his time getting his own desk and cup of tea in order,” Wooyoung soothes nerves you didn’t even realize you had. His tone was different, too, and when you look over you see him in full work mode. You’re grateful that he won’t be overbearing while you get into the groove of things.
As Wooyoung promised, Yeosang made his way to your office a few minutes later. After greeting people at the door, he picks up a spare stool and sits down next to you. “Good morning, y/n,” he hums. He balances his laptop on his legs and gets to work logging in. You notice he’s a bit stiff, and he didn’t talk much at lunch or in the chat yesterday, but he doesn’t feel unfriendly. He probably just takes a while to warm up to people, which you understand. “You’ve gotten your Dasoft email already, correct?”
“Oh, yes I just need to log in on this computer,” you refocus on the task at hand. Yeosang said the onboarding process would be kind of long, but simple, so you knew he’d be here for a while. Every time he falls silent to confirm something on his laptop, you can’t help but stare at him. He wore a beige sweater vest today, and even though his hair is quite long, a few strands fall past his ears when he looks down at the screen. He’s such a calm and quiet energy that you find familiar and comforting.
“Someone has a crush,” Woo giggles next to you. You shoot him a confused look before turning back to Yeosang and realizing he has an expectant look on his face. It’s clear he’s waiting for an answer to a question you didn’t hear, and your coworker’s snarky comment makes you both blush ear to ear. 
“I know it’s really boring but we’re almost done,” Yeosang recovers. “I just need to check if you have the right software installed, so if you could log back in…” he gestures to your sleeping desktop and you quickly typed in your password again. You know if you speak your voice will betray you so you stay silent for the rest of the process, mortified at Wooyoung’s sudden jab.
One hour and a handful of embarrassing exchanges later, Yeosang is finally done setting up your tech. Before you can properly thank him, Wooyoung jumps out of his seat and stretches. “I’ve been working so hard all morning y/n, do you wanna head up to the meeting room early?” You glance over at his screen and a paused game of Tetris stares back at you. 
“Working so hard on a new high score?” Yeosang noticed too, not missing a chance to put his best friend in his place. You had learned at lunch yesterday that although all of them were close, Yeosang and Wooyoung knew each other in high school. Mingi and Yunho were also best friends, knowing each other for even longer. No one in the group seemed to be upset at the dynamic though, and you mentally cringe at the fact that your friends would’ve made something like that a problem.
“Alright, alright,” your coworker threw his hands up, “say it louder so Seonghwa can hear!” Yeosang just smiles, proud of his ability to ruffle Wooyoung’s feathers for once.
“Are you also coming to the meeting, Yeo?” you ask, trying to lighten the mood between you two. You can tell he’s easily the most reserved of the group and you don’t want him to think you have a crush on him on the second day.
“I was gonna take a short break,” he shakes his head, “but I can walk you there. Wouldn’t wanna leave you alone with that troublemaker.” 
“I’m literally y/n’s favorite, but okay,” Wooyoung huffs before making his way to the exit. You follow suit, picking up your water bottle and a notebook. 
It only takes a few minutes to walk to the fourth floor meeting room, but someone already beat you to it. You walk through the doors while talking to Wooyoung, blissfully unaware of the way Yunho’s standing there, and you slam face-first into his chest. He instantly grabs your forearms so that you don’t lose balance, but you pull away and smooth yourself out, cheeks running red hot. 
“Well good morning to you too!” Yunho chuckles, only making you blush more. You don’t catch the way his ears are redder than you could ever be. 
“My bad, Woo was just distracting me so much,” you try to play it off, and it works because all three men laugh. More people start to file in and you wave a quick goodbye to Yeosang before making your way to the long table in the center of the room.
“Here, y/n,” Yunho pats a seat next to him, “Wooyoung, come sit next to her.”
“Oh, my pleasure!” Wooyoung wiggles his eyebrows and slots into the seat to your right. You can’t tell if they did it on purpose, but you’re relieved you won’t have to sit next to anyone new. One last person walks in and everyone quickly gets up to greet him. You follow suit, putting together that he’s the highest up employee here, if not the CEO himself.
When you sit back down, Yunho’s hand lands on top of yours, giving you a quick squeeze before resting both his hands on his laptop. His hand is noticeably bigger than yours, not because you’re that small but because he’s just that big. His fingers are slender and pretty, two rings adorning them. The way they move across his keyboard is entrancing and for a moment you entertain the idea of how they’d feel laced between yours. You start to feel heat creep up your cheeks again, and you shove those feelings to the side to focus on the meeting. 
“That wasn’t too much, was it?” Seonghwa rests a hand on your shoulder as you walk towards the elevators. 
“No, not at all,” you replied. To be honest, it was no different than a class lecture gearing up for a new assignment. The company moved fast and you already had some deadlines, but it wasn’t any worse than school could be. You didn’t want to let him on to that, though, for fear of more work being piled on your desk.
“Good! In that case, we can go on lunch break now. There’s not much else to handle today,” the elevator doors close behind you and he presses 1. 
“Is anyone else coming with us today? Same place?”
“I think Jongho and Hongjoong are still stuck in meetings, but the rest of them will meet us,” Seonghwa replies, checking his phone for an answer to your second question, “and the weather is nice out today, so I think we’re gonna check out this new cafe.” He hands over his phone so you can see for yourself. It’s a cute little shop with outdoor seating, and the menu has some things you like. You pass it back over, smiling. “Someday, we’ll have to show you all our favorite spots to hang out,” Seonghwa smiles back, and that fluttering feeling of acceptance you felt yesterday comes back.
Yeosang is already seated at two conjoined tables. You and Seonghwa are the first to arrive after him, and he can’t hide the relief on his face as he waves at you, “Someone else finally showed up.”
“Too scared to order for yourself huh?” Seonghwa teases. You both sit down and scan the menu qr code decorating a box of napkins. A few minutes later the rest of the boys show up and sit down and before you know it you’re all eating and laughing again. 
You don’t miss the way Yunho picks the seat across from you. You don’t miss a single thing he does, in fact, his position puts him in your natural line of sight. You don’t mean to stare at his long fingers, the bracelets that slide up his forearms, his pronounced collarbone peeking from behind his polo, his defined cupid’s bow, his crooked smile, his round cheeks, the way his whole body shakes with laughter, his soft eyes that are desperately trying to look anywhere but at you.
Fuck. 
You tap back into the conversation before you can be pulled deeper into your thoughts, “hey Hwa, what did you say about showing me around the city sometime?” Maybe getting closer with the others would help you come back to your senses.
“Oh yeah,” he takes a sip of his lemonade, “I thought it would be cool if we showed you around our favorite places. You’re only here for so long and work will ramp up soon, so you should get out of the office.” The table nods in agreement, eager to show off their town. 
“We definitely need to take you to some more impressive restaurants,” San replies, half-joking. Wooyoung doesn’t even bother finishing his mouthful of food before suggesting you go clubbing with him. Yeosang slaps him on the head, suggesting maybe we go to a museum or something. Mingi throws out the idea of a movie night instead, but you sense he’s just defending his homebody nature. You look back at Yunho and he’s grinning, waiting for his turn to speak.
“Do you like parks, y/n?” he offers. The group immediately approves of the idea and it seems like they have a specific place in mind. Your plan backfires because you like his suggestion the most.
“When the weather’s bearable,” you respond a little too excitedly, “which I think it will be tomorrow.” His grin turns into a full smile and his eyes light up. Wooyoung starts chuckling and you can’t tell why.
“Tomorrow? Maybe you can take her then Yunho,” Seonghwa smirks, “since you came up with it and the rest of us will probably be busy.” The energy has shifted in mere seconds and you feel like you’re missing out on some inside joke they have. Does Yunho secretly hate parks? Is tomorrow a funny date for some reason? Are they gonna lead you into a city you barely know and then abandon you?
Yunho’s voice cuts through the fog of irrational anxiety, “is that cool with you y/n?” You look up to meet his eyes, and this time he’s staring back at you fondly. You nod, you can’t trust your voice or the way Wooyoung looks ready to make fun of you. “Good, I’ll meet you up in Marketing after I’m done tomorrow,” he visibly relaxes, returning to the sandwich in front of him.
“It’s okay, y/n, we can go clubbing another time. I know you want to,” Wooyoung pokes your forearm, and the conversation goes back to normal. 
You finally make it to your bed and take a deep breath. The past 48 hours have somehow felt like a month, and you can’t help but overthink every interaction you’ve had. You swore to yourself you wouldn’t even think about dating anyone while in Seoul because you knew it would end terribly. Yet here you are, the idea of Yunho holding you close and pressing soft kisses to your forehead clouding your brain. 
You barely know him, you try to level with yourself, and you find all of them attractive. It’s just an objective fact and you’ll get used to it. Your brain isn’t very convincing, and memories from last year start rearing their ugly heads. You feel so safe and accepted by them already, which is more than you could’ve ever imagined from this internship. If you could just keep yourself in check for two fucking seconds, maybe you could make some good connections here. You can’t let your heart fuck everything up again, and you know it’ll take everything in you to stick to that.
[Jeong Yunho] It’ll be a little warmer tomorrow, so feel free to wear shorts or whatever’s comfortable. Don’t worry about the company dress code
[Jeong Yunho] See you then!
Two short buzzes interrupt your internal pep talk, and the moment you unlock your phone you melt all over again. 
Thanks for the heads up!! See you tomorrow :D 
Maybe your heart has already fucked everything up.

Everyone is at the arcade. They are about to witness the fight of their lives. But first off, how did it come to this?
Zoom backwards to a week ago. Raiden is hanging out at Desperado with his new friend Sam. The Brazilian man was like an affectionate cat and would just not leave him alone until he gave in. They met for coffee and it turns out that they had more in common than he thought. Raiden agreeded to starting a friendship with Sam as long as the man managed to keep his horniness contained. Sam didn't know how he was going to pull this one off but he desperately needed to be with said twink so he would play along if he had to.
One day Raiden was sitting next to Sam at the office. Armstrong hasn't arrived yet so they have some free time. Monsoon looked over only to notice that his colleague was applying smokey eye shadow to the cyborg that he had been constantly drooling over. "Disgusting..." he muttered. Raiden stood up causing Sam to almost poke his eye out with the brush. He walked over to Monsoon. "You got a problem with me!?"
Raiden could never tell what the cyborg was thinking due to his face being covered by some sort of gigantic headset. "Yes I do. The both of you make me sick! Love is a disease that I refuse to partake in. If the two of you want to make out then happily do it somewhere else!" Raiden was stunned. "Sam, I thought I told you that you can't say we're dating or I'll have to hang your ass over my mantle as written in our agreement!" He got ready to use Zandatsu.
The Brazilian huffed. "No I didn't say anything of the sort blondie. As much as I would love to screw your brains out, I need my money maker. How am I supposed to make money on my second job if you take that away from me?" The rest of the group turned to look at Sam. "What is it that you do again?" asked Sundowner. "Onlyfans." Mistral laughed. "Of course he does."
"This is serious you guys!" proclaimed Raiden. "Why the hell do you think I'd date him of all people?" (The sound of a heart being broken like shattered glass could be heard). Now it was Monsoon's turn to retort. "War is a cruel parent but an effective tea-" Everyone groaned. "Just cut to the chase already!"
The cyborg chuckled. I have a proposition for you. Maybe we can settle our differences, man to man." Raiden was curious. "And how do you suppose we do that?" Monsoon grinned with his massive rabbit teeth. "Dance Dance Revolution!" Everyone started to gasp like a enthusiastic crowd. "Okay. Let's say I play your stupid little dance game. What do I win?"
He stroked his chin. "I suppose the winner shall choose." The rest of the group yelled immediately for his internet privellges to be revoked. Something about their data plan costing them a fortune and how no one wants to hear atheist memes that Monsoon stole from reddit. "Fine. I guess I'll take you up on your offer. Now what do you chose?"
Monsoon was going to be a little shit and ruin Raiden's day. "If you really don't feel the same way for Sam then go out on a date with him. That shouldn't be a problem right?" He grinned. Raiden wasn't expecting that. "What is wrong with you!? May I remind everyone that I'm married?" Sam immediately interjected. "IT'S TOO LATE PRETY BOY, YOU ALREADY AGREED TO THIS!"! Raiden sighed.
"Alright then, see you at the arcade tomorrow evening. I think I'll help Sam pick out your dress for date night." Monsoon walked away cackling. It was back to project diva for him. Raiden looked like he wanted to slaughter the rest of the group. Sam then came behind him and gave a small poke. "I know this isn't the best time for this but here's my card. For you, it's free."
Alright, now you're caught up.
Raiden and Sam walked towards the arcade Monsoon had picked. This weird place called the Crown Game Center. "Whatever" Raiden huffed. "Let's just get this over with." Sam had changed out of his exoskeleton suit and now donned a cheer leader uniform. It seemed like he was going to be the only one interested in tonight's outcome. They walked up to the rest of the gang. Monsoon was beaming while Mistral and Sundowner seemed as if they had been dragged here against their will (they had) and like they wanted to go home.
"Well, we'll if it isn't Jack. Here to give up before being beat?" Raiden grumbled. "Hardly. I'm here to put an end to this." Monsoon laughed. "We'll see about that." As the others were distracted, Sundowner grabbed Mistral and shook her. "Hey lady, we can leave now, they ain't gonna notice that we're gone." He was just about to head towards the exit when he noticed the prize selection.
"Well I'll be damned. They got themselves a real poo-chi!" Mistral turned towards her coworker. "What are you talking about?" Sundowner then explained to her about the trend of robotic dog toys of the 2000's. "You know we have Bladewolf at home right?" The grown man pouted. "But it can communicate through its beady lil' eyes and you can starve it!" Mistral sighed. "First off, you can't starve something that doesn't have the ability to eat. Secondly, you sound like a horrible pet owner and third, you're lucky that I happen to be fond of dogs."
"I'll see how much the little son of a bitch costs. Damn. 30,000 tickets. How are we gonna get it?" Mistral looked over to the mini game section. "I have an idea. Follow me." Raiden was looking through the song selection. "So who picks first?" The cyborg snickered. "I think I'll let the loser choose first." Raiden was so irritated that his claws started to graze the screen. He then proceeded to pick Butterfly by Smile.dk. Monsoon turned to face him. "A wise choise but I'm still going to win this."
The song began to play and it seemed as if they were evenly matched. Sam couldn't help but notice the lyrics being about a samurai and desperately hoped that Raiden had dedicated it to him (he hadn't. Raiden was just a weeb who liked katanas). Eventually Raiden was gaining the upper hand. "WAY TO GO BLONDIE!" Sam then remembered what would happen should the cyborg win. "I mean c'mon Monsoon! I know you can beat that twink!"
Raiden was caught by surprise. "Fuck you Sam!" He hadn't noticed how hard he began to stomp in his clawed high heels. "So you want to be on top eh?" the man said suggestively. Raiden was close to losing it. Suddenly there was a loud metallic crunch. "Shit!" The game immediately turned off. "Anyone know what we should do in this kind of situation?" Sam then interjected. "Let's just move to a different machine and if anyone asks, we blame it on someone else." There was no way he was letting the match end with no winner. "Hey, what happened to the others?"
Mistral had taken Sundowner to one of those basket ball games. "Watch this." Mistral then took a ball and got a perfect shot with one of her dwarf gekko arms. She then tossed a ball towards Sundowner. 'Now you try." You would think that being so tall that he would have an easy time but no. He somehow managed to miss every time. "You're useless! Go find another way to make tickets!" She pushed him away and then filled all her arms with basket balls, perfectly aiming every shot. Tickets were soon piling up.
"Damn basketball. I know they say it's American but I know it really comes from those commie fruit cakes in Canada!" Sundowner then bumped into an arcade machine. "Wouldja look at that! They even got themselves house of the dead! Say what you will about the Japanese, their killin' games make up for pearl harbour!" He then inserted a coin and got ready to start blasting.
Now it was Monsoon's turn to pick a song. He passed through each track, seeming like he was deeply lost in his thoughts. Then he picked kimono princess by JUN. "Get ready to lose!" Sam groaned. He was a samurai but he could only take so much of seeing Japanese culture viewed through an anime lens. "What is with these weebs? Oh well. At least one of them is cute." he thought to himself.
Soon loud music began blairing. "This is way too fast!" Raiden yelped. "I don't think this song is possible for a human to beat!" He just hoped that it would leave Monsoon as winded as he was. He looked over and saw the cyborg had split his body apart so he had more limbs to hit the notes on time. Raiden then decided that if Monsoon would cheat, then so would he. He took out an EMP grenade and tossed it.
"What? What's happening to me!?" Everything soon clicked in his head. "THIS ISN'T FAIR JACK!" Raiden laughed while he continued to dance as Monsoon was completely still. "I don't think we ever established any rules. Also weren't you the one using your weird Magneto powers?" Monsoon grit his teeth. "IT'S CALLED LORENTZ FORCE AND YOU WILL RESPECT IT!"Suddenly the cops showed up. It turns out that someone had seen them damage the machine on the security moniter and called for backup.
Police then took Monsoon out piece by piece while Raiden let himself be escorted out. "Please just take me to jail so I can get away from him!" The van drove off and soon Sam was all alone. "Damn it! I'll just have to try harder next time!" Meanwhile Mistral and Sundowner pooled their tickets together. "Alright what can I do for the two of you this evening?" asked the employee.
Sundowner then placed the tickets on the table, causing it to shake from being 50 pounds worth of paper. "As a matter o' fact, I'd like one poo-chi please." The employee knew it was going to be "one of those" situations. "I'm sorry sir but we're all out. You can trade it in for an idog if you'd like." Sundowner looked like he was about to commit mass murder. "The fuck? Who the hell wants some shitty idog? Nobody uses iPods anymore! And I just saw that fucker on the shelf twenty minutes ago!"
The employee sighed. "Sorry sir, it was already purchased by the boy over ther-" Sundowner turned to the child's direction. It was some kid speaking some language that he couldn't understand so he automatically assumed it was "Mexican speak". "Listen here you little shit! If you value that body o' yours you'll know what's good for yeh and gimmie that dog!"
Mistral and Sundowner were now leaving the arcade. I can't believe that's the 5th child you've killed this week." His coworker sighed. She wasn't going to take responsability for this. "I just can't believe it didn't come with batteries. What a waste." Sundowner then threw the toy. His arm was so strong that it managed to find Sam's left butt cheek and bounce off of it, hitting a building, causing it to collapse. The man sighed. "Aye, not again..."

Have some wholesome winter/holiday headcanons for the wh neighbors + Daisey cause I’m in a holiday mood thanks to the update
Eddie is excited about Homewarming and stays with his neighbors the whole day no he didn’t stay all alone with a single pea nooooooo he’s happy and hanging out with his friends :,))))
Howdy’s family seem so nice I’m so sad I made them bad people in my au :,( I think they helped Howdy decorate the bodega and celebrated with the other neighbors
Daisey totally wears fluffy earmuffs that have flowers painted on them
Julie’s hair being blue at the Homewarming party makes me so happy, like look at her she’s having fun! I imagine she used Wally’s paint to paint her hair and she struggled to wash it off later that week
You cannot convince me Barnaby doesn’t start a snowball fight the first chance he gets. He aims for Frank each time
Daisey helps Eddie wrap his gifts (except theirs because that’d ruin the surprise)
Sally somehow stays on the tree the entire time besides the party. She’s a shining star and she throws glitter up in the sky like they were sparkly snowflakes
Daisey tried the cigarettes Howdy advertised but coughed really badly so they were cut out of the commercial :,)
Poppy baked holiday cookies and Eddie helps deliver them to the other neighbors as a gift
They wear silly hats. Frank complains for a second but everyone wears them the entire day
Daisey and Wally had a staring contest. Wally won lmao
This is the only time of year Daisey doesn’t mind Barnaby’s pranks. They even prank him back occasionally
Daisey totally has a mistletoe on a hook and uses it to try to get Eddie and Frank under it
Frank and Howdy doing literally anything together during the holidays, I love they
:3
Yes Eddie Most Definitely was Not Alone on Homewarming :') Nope! Frank and Julie dragged him out the Post Office for some Winter Festivities and Hot Cocoa! … ... This copium hits hard man
Howdy's family is a riot! Hoo boy when I saw his brother-in-law was a Bee I screamed. Now I just imagine Howdy and his sister just Spiderman Meme pointing at each other "A bee!? We both love bees!?" in reference to my oc, Valerie lol (Latter's just off to side weeping into his poetry,, so alone, someone give that bug a hug) Love the idea of them helping decorate and spending the holiday with the whole neighborhood! It must be exhausting for Howdy,,,
Don't worry I'm sure Frank helps Julie wash the color out of her hair <3
Barnaby piles snow to make a wall between his and Frank's house, where he then camps out in order to catch Frank by surprise when they step outside. He fell asleep before he could lol but got them later while Frank was distracted by Sally throwing glitter on everyone
Poppy makes so much food I wouldn't be surprised if she got overwhelmed by it all and the neighbors had to take a lot of food home after the Homewarming Party. And Eddie delivering cookies for her is so sweet <3
Dude I love silly holiday hats! I just imagine those who already wear hats just wearing their usual hat under the silly one! Like Eddie wears his silly hat on top of his mail hat and forgets it's there lol
Wally is the king of staring contests, second place is Home but only because there was a strong breeze. @:]
Mistletoe hook, my beloved <3
Frank and Howdy would argue over what to do <3 So much so Arguing becomes the activity and they end up debating on nonsense, literally. They had fun lol

1, 2, 8, 12, 33, 34 + diana/wesker 👁️👁️<3
1. how do they fall asleep? wake up? any daily rituals?
omg daily rituals and routines... they have so many. they both wake up really early, like before the sun comes up. she's definitely more of a deeper sleeper than he is so actually waking up takes her a bit, and it's almost always to him kissing her shoulder or wrapping his arms around her waist to hold her – when they actually sleep they don't really cuddle cause either one of them gets hot or really uncomfortable lmao but as soon as they wake up there are smooches of course. then like they both have their showers, make the bed, have breakfast, whatever, but diana will put on very minimal makeup and do her hair all neat, also her like putting on her jewellery and perfume is a bit of a ritual in and of itself. he of course is over there styling his hair... for some reason my brain keeps going that he uses pomade, but honestly just whatever product he uses, he makes sure that's perfect. night-time is where i think there's more routines there because in the morning it's just like his days are always something different while she just heads into the lab, but at night they are both coming home to relax
i think that he actually has like another shower at night also because just likes to be clean before bed, and he doesn't wash his hair (cause he would kill it lmao) but he rinses it out, just cause i feel like he uses a water-based pomade because he would get very oughgh about oil-based one's residue getting on his pillowcase or building up in his hair. but diana has a little skincare routine going on, not like a wild 10 step one or anything, but has to take her makeup off and cleanse and moisturise and stuff, and you know... being from australia, a lot of emphasis on protecting her skin always. but yeah they sometimes read before bed too, either their own book each or sometimes she'll just lean against his side as he reads, but then it's sleep time. these are the things that kind of stay constant all the time, but obviously the time they go to bed and the amount of sleep they need changes when they're infected, because they don't need as much then
2. how's their team work? do they share well?
already answered!
8. what do they like best about their partner?
already answered!
12. is there a wedding? what was the proposal like? any kind of honeymoon?
SO they weren't originally going to have any sort of big ceremony, because the idea of marriage was already kind of a weird one for them both – he had never really wanted it before waking up one day and thinking yeah i want to call her my wife, and she was very uneasy about getting married again after her last marriage – and they also just thought they wouldn't have the time with their work to plan such a thing, but they still kinda did... they actually got married in secret with just like signing it off legally with a celebrant then they exchanged their personalised vows in private, but alex actually found out and was like omg and you didn't tell me?? partly joking. but they end up actually having like technically a vow renewal ceremony(?) a few months later because alex was honestly just teasing him a bit about not going above and beyond for her, and that she deserves a proper ceremony and a dress and all that, mainly just taking playful jabs at him, but still, like she obviously didn't know why diana just didn't really care for weddings and such, even though it really was a special moment for her with him, just at the time she still had so much negative connotation with anything relating to marriage...
you know that meme from the office that's like jim holding up a ring and he says "got it a week after we started dating" cause like. yeah. not far off to be honest. like i mean we all know they were actually kind of together for over a year (and a half? and he was obsessed from her like very early on), but i mean once he finally tells her he loves her after denying it for that long he starts thinking about just asking her... they already live together, they've technically been together for so long, they have this strange connection he hasn't really felt before. and it's weird. cause he was always so sure he'd never ask someone to marry him, that it wasn't his thing... it's the "i never wanted to get married and considered it pointless, but i want it with you" for me
but okay, proposal, i mean i already screamed about this to you, but after a few months and designing a ring down to the finest details (which by the way, not a typical diamond ring), he asks her while they're out on a little date. they had gone to a restaurant near the park, then just stopped by for a night-time stroll because diana loves the woodland path. when they're heading back over the bridge at the pond, diana notices him fiddling with something in his pocket with the hand that's not holding her own but she doesn't really put much thought into it. then when she thinks they're going to leave, he pulls her over to one of the benches before she like notices him get a little nervous. like not nervous as in what you'd expect from anyone else, but he's a bit off which she can just pick up on. then he doesn't ask her to marry him. he asks if she would spend the rest of her life with him. because it's not even about getting married or a wedding, like it's a promise of just complete and utter devotion that he's felt for so long but hasn't really known how to show her in words. and they had never put a label on their relationship, even after they said they loved each other. so it's like a very big deal in a lot of ways i guess. idk i could ramble about this forever cause there's a lot of lore so i'll stop for now. that's the bare-bones of it
i still have absolutely no idea what they do for their honeymoon. they don't have one right after or even close to after they get married because neither of them really thought about it, and they were both just so busy with their work. then of course everything happens with her uh being almost killed because of suspicions of her position within umbrella... and then shortly after she's recovered from that, everything with the mansion goes down. with the idea of them getting away from umbrella and the city, like they figure they can have one then but i'm not sure when exactly... i think probably the year after, because of course work never stops with them going back to her company and him settling in there and becoming an agent then what happens with the outbreak, before him later being in h.c.f. like there's a lot going on. but i think it would be really chill, maybe her taking him back to australia just for a little visit...
33. what kind of presents do they get each other? do they only do it on special occasions?
already answered!
34. do they have any pets?
so they never had any pets until after the volcano because they just never had time to look after one, and they still didn't really with my canon but it was easier given the circumstance. they get a little cerberus guy because apparently umbrella corps were able to get some of them from an outbreak with the tricell headquarters, probably for tests or the experiment. but i had the idea that one of the dogs just maybe had retained some of its intelligence more than the others, and didn't just attack on instinct. well, it did, but not with these two. when diana actually went and looked at the dogs, this one was very calm with her and actually took orders from her, then with him also, and it was to do with the viruses in them both. and just recently found out (thanks to @ossanonsen) that in the umbrella chronicles novelisations he actually has a physical link with some b.o.w.s. and can control them... so um. it works. also they don't have to worry about forgetting to feed this guy, diana can just give him some scraps of her experiments <3
send me a ship and a number and i'll tell you!

Notes from 28.2.24
The sound of crickets coming through the walls or behind the fridge and my manager has been spraying bug spray every 3-4 hours to make them stop. We can't reach where they're hiding to spray them properly, so they just keep chirping away. Usually it'd piss me off since I don't need more cause to be over-stimulated but it makes me laugh because I know it's just an alarm bell trying to get my attention.
I made a comment to this lady about my suicidal ideation, like I always do, and she told me off LOL. I don't want to kill myself anymore and I only said it to spark conversation since I like her and we were both using the tills but she got up close to me, lowered her voice and said, You know what, I gotta tell you something. My friend's son just died a few days ago. A sudden heart attack. He was fit, and young. Only 35. And how old are you? I gave her a look. She continued, Yes exactly, so you better make the most of your life while you've still got it. Blah blah blah. Fingers in ears.
Then later, a student muttered under her breath something about another wave of the C flu. I said, Another one? She said, Yeah, on the news. I said, God it's so boring, each time, it's so fucking boring. And tiring. Can't they just admit that it's become naturalised in the environment or however you call it? She agreed with me, said it was just like another cold or flu.
I was thinking on the particulars of how the recall will be presented. I even got stressed, a bit. How do I do this, without having to be in direct contact with it? I was that confused math lady meme. Then I let it go. It will be nothing. This is all a dream. I think I'm going to walk into work one day and see an email about it from head office and that'll be that (since I don't watch the news). They'll just say it's become as mild as the common cold and that there's no point anymore so they're pulling the V off the market. A few bemused conversations will be had, and then the NPCs will forget about it. Then we'll go.
I dunno why but today I woke up feeling really good. Like a fog had been lifted, like something had clicked into place. There is no future for me here and I know it in my bones. There is no future in tomorrow, or even the next minute. We are just here for kicks at this point. I was laughing at the things people were saying in the chat, not out of callousness but because in that moment it struck me so clearly how much we love to play pretend. It's over. There is nothing that could tell me otherwise from what I know deeply. And because I know it so deeply, and there is no one here other than I, everyone else does too. That's what I found so funny. Everyone knows it. There's only I. We just play. I'm glad that we're all just playing and that none of the things we say or do at this point to spell otherwise, is real.

[ MULTIMUSE MEME: Send a " ⭐ " and I will list muses I would be interested in throwing at yours, or potential muse combinations if you are also a multi. / @lightcreators / Still Accepting! ]
Star Trek
🤣 I have watched the animated series "Star Trek: Prodigy" and have fallen in love with Captain Janeway/Admiral Janeway. This led me to start watching the series "Star Trek: Voyager." I admire her badass attitude and her love for coffee. 😂🤣. That I have thought about writing a verse for Kanako and Noburu.
They both serve on the Starship Voyager. Kanako works in either the science or medical divisions. Noburu works for the Operation Division as a security officer, with a level 3 engineering qualification. They were both unknowingly from the Delta Quadrant. Their mother, Queen Mi Yue, had to push them through a portal, which landed the twins in Alpha Quadrant when their homeworld was struck by war. After the war ended, their mother tried to find them, but was unable to due to her royal status as the Queen. Fifteen years later, the Starship Voyager arrived on a planet and was scanned by the planet's inhabitants. The people and Queen were both shocked and overjoyed to welcome home the royal twins of the sun, Noburu, and moon, Kanako.
Leaving the twins with a difficult decision, whether to stay or continue their journey back home to Earth. Desperate. The Queen is determined to keep her children with her, even if it means using force. And Captain Janeway tries to plead with the Queen to allow her children to make their own decisions.

I do have a verse for Kanako and Kanata (Kanako's brother) in their Charmed verse. I also have another muse named Kimber Fowl, who has a Charmed Verse too, but sadly it has yet to be written. While Noburu has a Supernatural Verse but has yet to be written. In the past, she used to be a hunter, but everything changed when her step-brother was killed and she turned into a werewolf. Retired. She currently owns a bar called Dahlia's Kiss and also works as an information broker, exchanging information between hunters and supernatural beings.
It would be interesting to have a crossover between Sam and Dean, but I would prefer not to include Umineko lore. I'm so sorry and I hope that's okay with you. 🙇🏻‍♀️
Charmed n Ghost Whispered
HO-HO! I am a super big fan of Charmed and Ghost Whisperer. Similar to Supernatural. I would love to throw Kanako, Kanata, Kimber, and Noburu at your muses. But I would prefer not to include Umineko lore but we can talk about the other influence you have in mind. I'm so sorry and I hope that's okay with you. 🙇🏻‍♀️
Frozen
😂🤣 I'm thinking of tossing Kanako and Noburu with their Disney Descendent verse at Anna and Elsa. But I would prefer not to include Umineko lore. I'm so sorry and I hope that's okay with you.
Sailor Moon
Oh yes! Sailor Moon was my first love when it came to Japanese animation. YES! I would be happy to toss Rei, Michiru, Hotaru and Helios with your muses. But I would prefer it not to include Greek Mythology but we can talk about the other influence you have in mind. 🙇🏻‍♀️ I'm so sorry and I hope that's okay with you. The only link, I'm cool with, is that the names of the Senshi's parents are named after the Greek gods.
Card Captor Sakura
I had to copy and paste this idea from another post because it is the same idea that I had previously replied to. I can definitely see the Sailor Senshi, especially Hotaru Tomoe (Sailor Saturn), interacting with each other, due to their closeness in age. Michiru, also known as Sailor Neptune, and Haruka, also known as Sailor Uranus, are her adoptive parents who frequently travel. So, it is possible for them to meet in Hong Kong. Or with Setsuna also known as Sailor Pluto and Hotaru could infiltrate the school to investigate a powerful disturbance caused by a card or one of the Sailor Senshi's enemies. But I would prefer not to include Umineko lore but we can talk about the other influence you have in mind. I'm so sorry and I hope that's okay with you. 🙇🏻‍♀️
Saint Seiya The Lost Canvas
Yes, please give me! We are currently working with Persephone and Hades, so we are on our way. We can have Tenma interact with the Bronze or Silver Saints, as well as Kanako, Noburu, and Chidori.
07 Ghost + Yami no Matsuei
HO! I love this show. We probably need to put our brains together on which verse or muses would be right to interact with one another. But I would prefer not to include X-1999, Code Geass, Umineko lore. I'm so sorry and I hope that's okay with you. 🙇🏻‍♀️
Avatar The Last Airbender
Kanako and Noburu have a verse in this as well.
Totally Spies
I am a fan of Totally Spies and I would love to see a crossover with Kanako, Noburu, and Mi Yue from their Kingsman verse teaming up against the Totally Spies gals. But I would prefer not to include Umineko lore but we can talk about the other influence you have in mind. I'm so sorry and I hope that's okay with you. 🙇🏻‍♀️

Do you have any thoughts on the use of AAVE for Nile (or lack thereof) in TOG fanfiction? I've been reading some Book of Nile fic and some writers seem to write her as a Millennial™ (using words like "fave" and "woke") but never acknowledge her Blackness in her patterns of speech. I know we don't see her use as much AAVE in the films, but I would argue she's in situations where code-switching would be valued (first in a "professional" environment in the army, then around a group of non-Black strangers).
Hi anon! I have many thoughts on this and I'm honored you asked me! But I should start by saying I'm white and any thoughts Black fans and especially Black American fans have on this that they want to share would be beyond lovely. (I'm not gonna tag anybody bc that feels rude but please add onto this post if any of y'all see this and want to!)
The main reason I personally avoid AAVE for Nile in my own fics is because I'm not Black. But Nile-centric fics by Black writers tend to avoid using much of it too, at least from what I've noticed/understood, and my guess is it's largely for the reason you mention, that she's in situations that encourage code-switching.
In movie canon Nile is highly competent at tailoring her language to each situation she finds herself in. This fantastic linguistics analysis meta shows how skillfully Nile chooses her vocabulary and grammar to meet her goals with different conversation partners in different contexts. In comics canon Nile had a bunch of different civilian jobs before joining the Marines, so she would've had experience code-switching in the ways that made sense for all those different contexts as well as the Marines and her family and high school and wherever else she spent her time before we met her. And now she's spending her time with a handful of immortals none of whom are native English speakers and a fellow Black American but one with a Queen's English UK accent whose professional experience is in the CIA where high-status code-switching is often an absolute must for success or even survival.
Fics featuring Nile are charged with extrapolating from that to how it might show up in her use of language that she's coping with a traumatic separation from her family and her career and pretty much everything she's ever known and now she needs to be able to make herself understood to people who seem to care about her and each other but are super duper in crisis, three (soon to be four) of whom predate Modern English entirely and the only one who's anywhere near her contemporary she's not supposed to talk to for a century. All of these people are telling her that pretty much any contact with any mortals poses an existential threat to her and the rest of the group. How the FUCK is she supposed to cope with that, like, generally? And would it be a more effective way for her to cope if she talked to Andy Joe and Nicky using the speech patterns that she used to use with her mom and brother, to at least retain that part of her identity even if it means having to do a lot of explaining, or would it meet her needs better to prioritize Andy Joe and Nicky understanding what she means with her words over using the particular words and grammar forms she used with her family?
I've seen several fics, both Nile-centric / BoN and otherwise, explore this a little bit in how/whether Nile uses Millennial™ speak. It's often a theme in Nile texting Booker despite the exile because of the popular headcanon that he as The Tech Guy is the only other immortal who understands memes. But Nile's much-younger-than-Booker mom probably uses Boomer and/or Gen X memes and Andy has been adapting to new communication styles for forever as evidenced by her canon high level of fluency with standard-American-accented English.
Which brings us back to people avoiding AAVE because they're not Black and they don't want to make mistakes (or they're not Black and they don't want to get yelled at for making mistakes, though I think many people overestimate how much they'll get yelled at while underestimating how much these mistakes can hurt). I can imagine some Black fans hold back from using much AAVE in fic because they don't want to share in-group stuff with white people who are likely to then adopt and ruin it, as white people so often do with Black cultural stuff. Some links about this including a great Khadija Mbowe video. I'm saying this gently, anon, because you might not know: woke, an example you cited as Millennial™ speak, is AAVE, and that's gotten erased by so many white people appropriating it and using it incorrectly online.
And also there's the part where fandom is a hobby and you never know when you're reading a fic that's the very first thing someone's ever written outside of a school assignment. This cultural considerations of language shit takes a level of effort and skill that not everybody puts into every fic, or even could if they wanted to because they haven't had time to build their skills yet. It's definitely easier for non-Black fans to project our millennial feels onto Nile than to do the layers of research and self-reflection it requires to depict what Blackness might mean to Nile, and it's not surprising that often people sharing their hobby creations on the internet have gone the easier route. There's not even necessarily shame in doing what's easier. It's just frustrating and often hurtful when structural white supremacy means that 3-dimensional Black characters are rare in media and thoughtful explorations of them in fandom are seen by the majority of fans as not-easy to make and therefore Nile Freeman, the main character in The Old Guard (2020) dir. Gina Prince-Bythewood, has the least fic and meta and art made about her of our 5 main immortals.
I've been active in different fandoms off and on for twenty years and I barely managed to write 5,000 words about Sam Wilson across multiple different fics in the 7 years since I fell in love with him. There's an alchemy to which characters we connect with, and on top of that which characters we connect with in a way that causes us to create stuff about them. Something about Nile Freeman finally tipped me over the edge from a voracious reader to a voracious writer. It's not for me to judge which characters speak to other individuals to the level of creating content about them, but I do think it's important for us to notice, and then work to fight, the pattern where across this fandom as a whole Nile gets way less content, and way less depth in so much of the content that's in theory about her, than any of these other characters.
Anyway, back to language. My two long fics feature Nile with several Black friends — Copley and OCs and cameos from other media — but all of those characters except Alec Hardison from Leverage aren't American. It's very possible I'm guilty of stereotyping Black British speech patterns in I See Your Eyes Seek a Distant Shore. I watched hours and hours of Black haircare YouTube videos in the research for that fic and I modeled my OCs' speech patterns on what I heard from some of those YouTubers as well as what I've heard people like John Boyega and Idris Elba saying in interviews, but the thing about doing your best is you still might fuck up.
I'm slowly making progress on my WIP where Nile and Sam Wilson are cousins, and what ways of talking with a family member might be authentic for Nile is a major question I need to figure out. For that, I'm largely modeling my writing choices on how I hear my Black friends and colleagues talking to each other. I haven't overheard colleagues talking in an office in a long-ass time, but back when that was a thing, I remember seeing a ton of nuance in the different ways many of my Black colleagues would talk to each other. Different people have different personalities! And backgrounds! And priorities! A few jobs ago my department was about 1/3 Black and we worked closely with Obama administration staff many of whom were Black and there was SO MUCH VARIETY in how Black people talked to each other, about work and workplace-appropriate personal stuff, where I and other white coworkers could hear. There are a few work friends in particular who I have in my head when I'm trying to imagine how Sam and Nile might talk to each other. From the outside looking in, God DAMN is shit complicated, intellectually and interpersonally and spiritually, for Black people who are devoting their professional lives to public service in the United States.
One more aspect of this that I have big thoughts on but I need to take extra care in talking about is the idea of acknowledging Nile's Blackness in her patterns of speech. There's no one right way to be Black, and Nile's a fictional character created by a white dude but there are plenty of real-life Black Americans who don't use much or even any AAVE, for reasons that are complicated because of white supremacy. (Highly highly recommend this video by Shanspeare on the harms of the Oreo stereotype.)
Something that's not the same but has enough similarity that I think it's worth talking about is my personal experience with authenticity and American Jewish speech patterns. My Jewish family members don't talk like they're in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and I've known lots of people who do talk that way (or the millennial version of it), some of whom have questioned my Jewishness because I don't talk that way. That hurts me. Sometimes when another Jew tells me some shit like "I've never heard a Jew say y'all'd've," I can respond with "well now you have asshole, bless your Yankee-ass heart," because the myth of Dixie is a racist lie but I will totally call white Northerners Yankees when they're being shitty to me for being Southern, and this particular Jew fucking revels in using "bless your heart" with maximum polite aggression, especially with said Yankees. But sometimes I don't have it in me to say anything and it just quietly hurts having an important part of me disbelieved by someone who shares that important part of me. The sting isn't quite the same when non-Jews disbelieve or discount my Jewishness, but that hurts too.
Who counts as authentically Jewish is a messy in-group conversation and it doesn't really make sense to explain it all here. Who counts as authentically Jewish is a matter of legal status for immigration, citizenship, and civil rights in Israel, and it's my number 2 reason after horrific treatment of Palestinians that I'm antizionist. But outside that extremely high-stakes legal situation, it can just feel really shitty to not be recognized as One Of Us, especially by your own people.
It can also feel really shitty to be The Only One of Your Kind in a group, even if that group is an immortal chosen family who all loves each other dearly. Sometimes especially in a situation like that where you know those people love you but there are certain things they don't get about you and will never quite be able to. I'm definitely projecting at least a little bit of my "lonely Jew who will be alone again for yet another Jewish holiday" stuff onto Nile when at the end of I See Your Eyes Seek a Distant Shore she's thinking about being the only Black immortal and moving away from the community she'd built with a mostly-Black group of mortals in that fic. Maybe that tracks, or maybe that's fucked up of me.
Basically, this got very long but it's complicated, writing about experiences that aren't your own takes skill which in turn takes time and practice to build, writing about experiences not your own that our society maligns can cause a lot of harm if done badly, it can also cause a lot of harm when a large enough portion of a fandom just decides to nope out of something that's difficult and risky because then there's just not much content about a character who deserves just a shit ton of loving and nuanced content, people are individuals and two people who come from the exact same cultural context might show that influence in all kinds of different ways, identity is complicated, language is complicated, writing is hard, and empathy and humility and doing our best aren't a guarantee of avoiding harm but they do go a long way in helping people create thoughtful content about a character as awesome and powerful and kind and messy and scared and curious and WORTHY as Nile Freeman.

astielle ch 28 spoiler ask dump~~
anonymous asked:
Tauril-form is puberty, because that's when his voice changes. Abysscale-form is college-age because that's when he goes to his first orgy.
anonymous asked:
You called Abysscale-form college-age (which does not preclude teenage sexscapades given the ages that go to college) and that tracks with how I think of Tauril-form as going through puberty (because of the voice-change). But if Tauril is the horny teenager that's kind of sad. Because as Minnow has pointed out many times That Dick Will Kill.
not each other, it won't!! although i imagine taurils sleeping with each other would have the bro-iest vibe. very bill and ted. taurils also have Options with people who aren't giant bull centaurs, it's just awkward is all. fortunately for everyone taurils are actually adults and are not full of hormones, they just have zero impulse control and when they like someone they want to impress them and spend time with them and it doesn't necessarily occur to them to get their dicks involved in the situation (karzarul's mind was elsewhere the first time he was a tauril)
anonymous asked:
When Violet said monsters make the best mercenaries and throw the best parties I didn't think about it, but the fact that all the impyrs came into being with swordsmanship skills equal to Lynette probably had something to do with the former. Even if ten isn't that many, THEY COME BACK. (Eventually. In, like, a month.) And the others probably learned from Lynette, even if they died. Lynette's unintentional teaching, back again.
they learned from the best murdering them repeatedly
anonymous asked:
When Ari is repopulating, and he skips Black Drakonis, he says "Makes sense." But he's surprised when Violet points out that Black Drakonis is missing, so it sounds like he at least had a theory/assumption at the time for why she was skipped, but it doesn't match with the new information.
he initially just assumed that black drakonis had managed to avoid being killed the whole time, which made sense because she's a big dragon and she can just fly away if someone is trying to murder her. but generally if a bigass monster is alive someone is going to see it, especially her, because she likes finding population centers to try to guard.
anonymous asked:
"It also occurred to him that trying to get Minnow to act like she lived in a society since they were young may have negatively impacted his sense of what constituted an acceptable thing to say to a person while his dick was out." Is just HILARIOUS.
anonymous asked:
Honestly I can relate to Leonas cause just last week I was like 'I keep falling asleep in class maybe I should develop a caffeine addiction' and one of my friends was like 'pls eat more food' so I started to actually have breakfast and an after work snack and I magically stopped falling asleep in class
anonymous asked:
Minnow's hips don't lie, but castle ruins are strangely deceptive.
everyone who wasn't following along when astielleblogging intersected with kink taxonomy hell is going to be so confused if/when minnow finally gets stuck somewhere
@9ofspades asked:
Ari is my favorite again and I want him to have actual eternity to be happy with his poly soulmate throuple together. And also his big monster family. Also I think he's wrong about what the core of the Heir and Hero are - both of them have, deep in the core of their souls, the fact that they are Monsterfuckers.
for the record i have a post in my drafts with all of your readalong asks and i still haven't decided what to do with them but i enjoyed them IMMENSELY
anonymous asked:
>looking for food >ask the cook if their food is earthy or wet >she doesn't understand >pull out illustrated diagram explaining what is earthy and what is wet >she laughs and says "it's good food sir" >buy some food >its wet
@ivylaughed asked:
I love the tumblr meme references in Astielle. The guards bringing their own knives; there being an infinite variety of brassica oleracea; the fucking chocolate guy. I'm half-waiting for a children's hospital/color theory reference. Thank you for the easter eggs.
i'm glad someone read 'chocolate birdhouse' and immediately thought THAT FUCKING CHOCOLATE GUY AGAIN ashjasd
anonymous asked:
I just wanted to say that as a plant nerd and forager I deeply appreciated Minnow's surprisingly accurate botany lesson.
unfortunately all the books that leonas gave minnow are still at her house and so she cannot cite sources for the existence of hemlock, queen anne's lace, and giant hogweed
anonymous asked:
“I think you overestimate people’s willingness to admit when things don’t make sense to them," lmao Minnow has a point
will the two men she is with learn from this and start admitting when they don't know things they think they should and are confused? absolutely not.
anonymous asked:
XD Ari hears "Kavid" and immediately attempts a strategic retreat.
anonymous asked:
“‘you should get dressed’ is a complete sentence.” Is making me laugh.
it's probably for the best because if he actually had known all three of them were out there it would have taken him like an hour to get ready and he would have had at least one breakdown about how none of his outfits were good enough and it was all nari's fault
anonymous asked:
Kavid: I will be happy to HAVE YOU ALL *lascivious eyebrow wiggle* at my earliest convenience.
anonymous asked:
"he gets smaller" "in this weather who doesn't?" KITTY PLZZZ
anonymous asked:
I can't decide whether I love or hate Kavid - I have a very Specific idea in mind for his voice, though I admittedly can't figure out where I'm pulling it from. He is an Excellent character though. Lovely chapter as always :D
anonymous asked:
Before, I was entertained by Kavid. Now I love him.
anonymous asked:
Kitty, Kraven and Kavid have similar speech patterns on purpose, right??? Right?????
i was honestly imagining some kind of nonsense faux-european what-country-is-this-even-from hollywood accent but imagining that he has sounded extremely russian this whole time is extremely funny
@rose-and-bones asked:
SHE HAS A TYPE aghfgstjs
minnow having a thing for obnoxiously pretty men who think they're great aka self-recognition through the other (horny)
@speakingintothevoid asked:
“You are,” Leonas said, “an egotistical, self-important fop.” “Ye-e-es,” Kavid said without shame. “She has a type, does Starlight.” I! LOVE!! IT!!! Makes me almost think of Violet and Karzarul - our point of view character being faced with a version of themselves who are more comfortable in their own skin and our boys not knowing why that annoys them
@keleviel asked:
I rescind my earlier mild disdain, Kavid is great. Is he actually The Greatest Of Bards, or is that just more showmanship?
he rocks about as hard as you can rock on a lyre, which is probably harder than you'd think (especially if you brought a lot of drummers) (which he does)
anonymous asked:
Jakshahshsh every time a new astielle chapter comes out i read it at least twice. Kavid i love you. Leonas i love you also you fucked up lil man. And karzarul the seat. And minnow the mischievous. and just. poor nari. existing in the same world as minnow and her all-powerful boyfriends and also kavid. nari needs a raise
she really does
anonymous asked:
Bruce in Office Meeting and Leonas grabbing the wine when Kavid starts talking about Imperials solidarity.
anonymous asked:
"You would like to compare notes?""Always." Brilliant. Leonas to a t. Loving this interlude with kavid. Snuggly tipsy leonas is a treat. kavids talk of how the weather makes all of us smaller had me cackling. Also this batshit imperial conspiracy is gr8
anonymous asked:
I am suddenly much less comfortable about Leonas performing medical experiments on Minnow, though no fault of his own. :(
@mooseman13579 asked:
Leonas finding out about the weird sun empire truther stuff: haha I'm in danger
the real unanswered question is how much of this is news and how much of it is stuff he already knew and assumed was normal
@thegayknee asked:
Holy shit this is it, isnt it. This is how they fix karzarul's reputation and expose Leland. With the power of Kavid
anonymous asked:
Karzarul's Questlog: "Work on our Image" updated, The Tale of Hollow Monsters delivered to bard.
anonymous asked:
just how many of her lovers is minnow going to recruit into her questing party
she should probably be swapping people out to keep their levels consistent but instead she just keeps karzarul and leonas as her companions for every single quest
@flying-butter asked:
"Details! I need details!" "The king sucks." This is every conversation with any of the trio. Minnow likely knows how to complete half of Ari's quests and Leonas the other half, but no one talks about anything without prompting.
minnow just assumes that everyone knows what she knows because she can't possibly be the brains of the operation and meanwhile karzarul and leonas are both busy having shame
anonymous asked:
i was so excited for the lore drop but the moment Leonas sat in Karzarul's lap my brain just shut off
@themaidenisdeath asked:
oh yes, as we all know, "all business" and "taciturn" are the first words that come to mind when we think of Minnow. It reminded me of when she met Karzarul and he told her she was particularly chatty for hero. Sorry Kavid, you're just neither a Sweet, Considerate Monster with a Dick of Steel And Tentacles To Match™ nor a Twink Prince With Silky Hair, Dom Tendencies And Weird Dietary Beliefs™
@halfdeadfriedrice asked:
"what Hero business?" / "I'm the Hero. All my business is Hero business." You tell em Minnow! And then it turns out to be Quest relevant after all; all business is Hero business Also kavid's last night's makeup and messy convertible couch covered in laundry with half-empty wine bottles on the floor is THEE most visually resonant, I feel like I am visiting a college friend
leonas got very lucky that there weren't any cigarette butts floating in that wine because in his mood he might have just drank it anyway

unrequited (PART THREE)
PAIRING: Michael/Fem!Reader, Roman/Fem!Reader
SUMMARY: When Michael leaves for a business meeting, Y/N finds comfort in Roman’s presence.
WARNINGS: michael being an absolutel dick, roman being an absolute sweetheart, subtle flirting, bad thoughts, brief anxiety attack
WORD COUNT: 1.7k
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“What do you mean you’re leaving? It’s our anniversary this week, Michael. You expect me to celebrate alone?” You weakly protested as he hurriedly packed his bags without sparing you a glance. “I made plans for us..”
“I don’t know what you want me to do, Y/N. This is a very important business trip and I need to leave in ten minutes. I’m not going to coddle you and have you change my mind, sweetheart. It’s not that big a deal,” he huffs and rolls his eyes. “Where the hell did you put my ties?”
You sighed softly and went into the walk-in closet that had Michael’s clothes on one side and yours on the other. You reached into a box and opened the lid to show him the neatly folded ties. “They’re where they’ve always been, Michael,” you quietly told him. You crossed your arms over your stomach as a defense mechanism when he stalked closer to look inside the box. He never once laid a hand on you or Aurora, but just his presence makes you uneasy. You had never felt this way before until now when he stood a few inches away from you.
“You know I hate when you touch my shit, Y/N,” he snapped and grabbed more of his things and went back out to the bedroom to continue packing. “From now on, leave my things alone. Got it?” He stared you down, nearly burning a hole into your soul when you meekly nodded.
Almost on cue, Aurora started whimpering in the little monitor you kept on the dresser. You breathed out a sigh of relief and hurried out into the hall, walking down a few doors away and into the little angel’s room. She’s holding onto the bars of her crib, bouncing happily when she sees you. You cooed gently and picked her up, cradling her in your arms as you breathe in that baby scent.
“Hello, my love,” you gently told her and kissed her cheeks, relishing her quiet giggles as she grips onto your necklace. “Did you have a good rest, hm? Mama’s got some new fruits waiting for you.”
“I’m leaving,” you hear Michael’s voice from behind you, causing you to gasp and hold onto Aurora tightly as you turn to look at the emotionless man. “I’ll.. walk you out then.”
You both walked down the long spiral staircase while Aurora babbled incoherently, mumbling “mama” every now and then. You hushed her softly and kissed her head, loving the smell of the faint shampoo you used on her this morning. Michael opened the front door and sat his suitcases on the top step.
“I should be home on the 23rd. I expect everything to be the way I left it. Do not go into my office. I will find out, okay?” He stared at you with such intimidation that it made you feel uneasy. You hesitatingly nodded and leaned up to give his lips a kiss, but he subtly turned his head so your lips would kiss his cheek. You felt a pang in your heart and sucked in a shaky breath. Michael’s motion almost felt like a punch in your gut.
“Let me know when you land,” you softly told him and took back into your home, not looking at him as you hold onto the knob. “I love you, Michael.”
“Don’t do anything stupid, Y/N,” he tells you before picking up his suitcases and walking down the steps to the car waiting for him outside the gate.
You swallowed down a whimper as your eyes instantly filled with tears. Aurora whined quietly and looked up at you with a distressed look at the sight of seeing her mother so distraught and sad. You sniffled and shut the door gently, making sure it was locked before you pressed your back against it and finally letting the dam break. You’re not sure why it hurt so much after being so used to Michael’s actions. But not heating those words you so desperately needed from him was like a stab to your heart.
“Why?” You blubbered and shook your head at yourself. “W-Why?”
✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: ✧・゚: *✧・゚:
It was almost midnight when you had put Aurora down for her sleep. You watched her for a few moments, not having the heart to leave her just yet. She was the only good thing out of your marriage. She keeps you busy - keeps you on your toes. With her rosy cheeks and soft eyelashes, you’re almost glad that she looks like a mini vision of yourself rather than Michael. With one last brush of your fingers on her stomach, you left the room with the baby monitor in your hand. Now, you were left in a house of silence.
You can hear your heart thumping loudly in your ears as you shallowly breathed in and out. You shakily walked down the steps while grasping tightly onto the banister. You went into the kitchen, your vision blurry from the overflowing of tears filling your eyes. You grasped onto the counter and slow sunk down to your knees, desperately pressing your back onto the cupboards behind you. There was a faint ringing in your ear and your hands trembled so viciously that it was hard for you to grasp onto your knees to keep you grounded.
“No, no, no, no,” you whispered to yourself and covered your ears as you rocked back and forth. Your fingers gripped onto your strands of hair. The burning pain of your roots being pulled was enough ot bring you back to a sense of calmness. You hiccuped and struggled to take in a steady breath. You counted to ten in your head and finally became aware of your senses. Five things you can see, four things you can physically feel, three things you can hear, two things you can smell, one thing you can taste.
Five things you can see - the smoky maroon cuboards, the freshly watered plants on the windowsill, the hanging kitchen lights, your bright red painted toenails, and the little pile of notes on the counter.
Four things you can physically feel - the cold tiled floor under your thighs, your hair tickling your shoulders, your fingers interlocked with each other, and a small tear rolling down your flushed cheek.
Three things you can hear - the kitchen clock quietly ticking, Aurora’s soft snores on the baby monitor, and the neighbor’s dog faintly barking across the street.
Two things you can smell - your rose water facial spray and the cleaning spray you used to wipe down the counters.
One thing you can taste - your strawberry lip balm.
Your frantic heartbeat steadied and you were able to breath again. Your rest your head back and breathed in through your nose and out through your mouth a few times. The tears have now dried and your hands were no longer shaky. Aurora’s snores still sounded on the monitor and you had a small smile as you imagiend her lips to be parted with a small dribble of spit on them. But then, that feeling of loneliness soon hit harder than before. You stood up with a small groan, an ache in your joints after sitting on the hard ground for a few minutes. You opened the drawer next to the fridge that held notepads, pens, tape, scissors, takeout menus, and written notes. Rifling deeper and further inside, you pulled out the familiar napkin that Roman had written his number on a few weeks ago.
You looked around the kitchen to find your phone, letting out a small noise of triumphwhen you spotted it amongst the numerous books you laid out. You nervously bit your lip and played with the locket around your neck. After dialing the numbers, you listened as it rung. You felt the nerves again in the pit of your stomach. You swallowed and was about to hang up when you heard his voice.
“Hello?” He asked on the other line.
“Um, is this Roman Godfrey?” You softly asked him.
“Who’s speaking?” He sternly asked, now more alert than before. “How did you get this number?”
Completely caught off guard, you choked up a response. “Um.. this is Y/N.. from the coffee shop? We met a few weeks ago, I’m so sorry for calling you this late.”
“Oh!” He eased up again, and you can almost hear his smile through the phone. “I apologize, Y/N. I’ve been receiving a lot of spam calls and it’s been driving me nuts.”
“It’s alright,” you laughed smile. “Again, I’m sorry for calling you so late. I just.. had nothing better do to and you popped into my head.”
“Oh yeah? You been thinking about me?” He cheekily asked you, causing you to snort and roll your eyes as you felt a blush creep up on your cheeks. “I had nothing better to do either. I’m trying to find a good show to binge watch on Netflix.”
“Oh really? I have a few suggestions if you’d like?” You told him excitedly and grabbed the baby monitor before hurrying over to your comfy couch, grabbing the remote and immediately turning the tv on. “I think you’ll my wide variety of movies and shows.”
“Oh yewh? We’ll see about that,” Roman laughs quietly, smiling wide in the other line when he hears your laugh. “I like that laugh... hehehehe.”
“Oh God, please do not imitate that Justin Bieber meme,” you covered your mouth to hide your laugh. “You’re really funny, Roman. I never thought of you to be a man of humor.”
“I am incredibly insulted,” he gasped mock offended. “What kind of man did you think I was, hm?”
You shrugged to yourself, remembering that he couldn’t see you. “I don’t know.. a man of serious business.”
“A man of serious business,” he repeats softly. “Well if by serious business, you mean making you laugh and smile, then yes, I am a man of serious business.”
“Oh hush, Godfrey,” you sucked your teeth and blushed. “But thank you. I haven’t laughed like this in.. a while. It feels good.”
“I’m glad,” he quietly told you. “They say laughter is the best medicine.”
“I heard,” you laughed quietly and looked at the red Netflix logo on the television. “Okay, now the Netflix recommendations.”
