Getting Started: ZampanioSim North

Hello, and welcome to this unofficial walkthrough of the ARG ZampanioSim. http://www.farragofiction.com/ZampanioSim/ .

What is ZampanioSim? Well, in the context of the alternate version of our reality the game is set in, it is a fangame recreation of an early RPG known as Zampanio that was found through a creepypasta FAQ. In our reality, the game is a spiralling puzzle stretching inside the browser game and out to uncover what any of this means. Sounds vague? Yes.

Small background on me, I don't know what I'm talking about. Do not take me as gospel, because I'm not just a newbie to this ARG, but ARG solving as a whole. I'm providing a surface level walkthrough to get people started on their own searches.

You open up the link to ZampanioSim and are greeted with three paths, a door to the north, as well as a path to the east and the south indicated by the rugs. Don't see them? Me neither, apparently, as when I wrote this I only ever accessed the North path, but from cursory perusal of the other paths, North is probably the least convoluted and a good place to start.

ZampanioSimNorth starts by requesting you to put in some information. As it stands, your input seems not too relevant. It contributes to some early randomized statuses and generating a random seed value, but gameplay between sessions generally seems the same. There may be a secret combination of inputs to unlock a special game session that might be different, but as of now I don't know.

So you put in all the information you're willing, you've been greeted by the helper voice, and you want to exit the menu to get started on the game. How do you do that?

You don't.

The menu, for this starting section, is the game. There is more beyond here, but you have to get past the menu to do so. You're meant to futz around in the menu not knowing what to do. But don't worry, there's more to this ARG than just a pause screen.

The easiest way to get past the menu is by completing the skill tree. The helpful pause guide will bestow upon you skill points for increasingly banal achievements, so if the case comes that you ever run out of skill points, just switch tabs. There is possibly something you unlocked that will trigger an achievement and skill points in another tab.

Once you complete the skill tree, credits will automatically roll.

To proceed past the pause screen, scroll so that the menu window is to the bottom, and at the top left of the middle of the menu, there will be an icon. Click on it to proceed down the rabbit hole.

And TADA you're past the menu section. I will write more about later sections in different posts. But for bonus, I will discuss some curiosities in this menu section that might require further exploration. You may continue on to the next post or read on to my notes about possible secrets in this menu stage.

Notes: The main thing that has me curious is the options tab. The tab presents a task to reduce the bg music to 1 but everything else needing more. The bg music to 1 is easy to understand, turn the music slider down. It's the more that confuses me. I've tried various stages of more: I turn all the other sliders to max, I turn on the toggles (thus having them "more" activated?) and I even turn the font color "more" by having the max values of each R G and B options. What happens is not much. The cutscene text speed resets, the font size either reduces by one or it gains another value more that wasn't there before, and the color will change. It will either change one of the RGB values from 255 to 16 or it will just reduce one of them by 1 value. The color changing in such specific ways makes me think I'm onto something but I don't know what.

The other small curiousity to investigate is the achievements tab. I don't know if it's possible to unlock all the achievements. I could be missing things.

The background of the game, the RPGMaker like screen, is a static image, or at least has nothing beyond the bounds of what is seen. You can use the arrow keys and the image behind the menu will move. Beyond the image is just the void of the blank webpage. There might be something in that void, but I'm not staring into that yet.

There is more to discover about this menu that I know of, but it uses a specific brand of shenanigans that I think is better suited to a separate post. The next post, however, should be about the rabbit hole.

Check in tag!

Thanks for tagging me, @druidx! :)

1. Why did you choose your url?

Well, Rain is my online name, and I write so... tada!

2. Any sideblogs? If you have them name them and why you have them?

Yes! This is my main blog but I also have a personal sideblog (random reblogs for funsies and interests and whatnot) and a music side blog that I am not so active on anymore. I do miss it sometimes. I made it when I was in high school and entering college as a music major.

Personal: @cm-mas

Music: @sopranoandthealtoclef

3. How long have you’ve been on tumblr?

Since 2010, so about 11 years, now... which is still hard to believe sometimes.

4. Do you have a queue tag?

Nah, I either hit reblog now or go radio silent later.

5. Why did you start your blog in the first place?

I joined Tumblr back when I was a teenager. Initially I actually did join to genuinely blog and write about life, but obviously my experience of Tumblr and the intent behind my blogs has morphed over time with the growth of both my personal life and the platform itself.

6. Why did you choose your icon?

Because I love the Miraculous fandom and who doesn’t stan Marinette with her hair down?

7. Why did you choose your header?

It’s a photo of a sunset I took right before I left my last town. Honestly, I just thought it was lovely, so why not, right?

8. What’s your post with the most notes?

Definitely something from my music blog, and not this one!

9. How many mutuals do you have?

I have... no idea. Is there even a place to check that number?

10. How many followers do you have?

That’s classified information.

11. How many people do you follow?

[REDACTED]

12. Have you ever made a shitpost?

Every post could be a shit post with the wrong right attitude

13. How often do you use tumblr each day?

Oh God, I don’t even know lol. Multiple times a day every day, but I don’t time myself when I just open the app here and there while at work.

14. Did you have a fight/argument with another blog once? Who won?

I think when I was a teen I tried to call somebody out for a personal story of theirs about an interaction manatee that sounded fake, based on how they’re protected in my state. But then they contacted me and I felt like a huge jerk (which I was) and I apologized because who am I to say what did or didn’t happen?

15. How do you feel about “you need to reblog this” posts?

There’s no need to senselessly pressure those around you.

16. Do you like tag games?

Oh, I do! I can sometimes be genuinely terrible about following through with them but I love the friendship and fun behind them.

17. Do you like ask games?

I like those, as well!

18. Which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous?

I genuinely have no idea. But whether or not someone is Tumblr famous doesn’t matter to me, so long as we’re nice to each other.

19. Do I have a crush on a mutual?

No, though I do have mutuals who are such wonderful, wonderful people and deserve all the love in the world!

20. Tags?

Sure! How about @inimoo @coccinelle-et-chaton @fleur-de-jasmin-fdj @holst-note @odysseywritings @sweaters-and-rainy-days @ayzrules and whoever else would like to join in!

Magic and Miracles - Chapter 3

Sanders Sides Big Bang fic, Chapter 3! < Previous Chapter | Next Chapter > | Masterlist Summary: “Remy? Remy? Remington? Oi, Remy, wake up!” Virgil said, shaking the snoring man.

“Huh? Where’s the dragon?”

“Here,” Janus answered.

“Eh? Oh, hey Snake-Eye, Wolfie, Lo, Violent.”

Virgil rolled his eyes. “You weren’t responding to the gentle shaking.”

“That’s no reason to make a man think there’s an earthquake.” Warning/s: food mention. Characters: Logan, Remy, OC, Virgil, Roman, Remus, Patton, Janus. Tag List:@theimprobabledreamersworld @remy-please-come-back

Read on AO3

3 | Lessons Begin

Waking up, walking to the dining hall, and eating breakfast had been uneventful. Logan felt like the atmosphere was relatively peaceful despite the tension from last night. Then again, everyone was still rather groggy from sleep, so he wasn’t going to make any assumptions yet.

Once the seven students had reached the classroom though, they seemed much more awake, aware, and eager to learn about the mysteries behind magic. They all sat at the desks they had claimed the day before and waited silently as Remy came into the room. Remy looked at them with a raised eyebrow.

“Are you all in trouble already? I’ve never known kids to be quiet without adults shouting for them to be so… never mind, let’s get this lesson started. The first spell that all young magic users should know is Stat Check. Do you know what that is?”

The class shook their heads no.

“Good! Because it’s meant to be a closely guarded secret. Never written down or spoken of among anyone but wizards and their first-year apprentices. Before I can even teach it to you, you need to solemnly swear to me that you shall guard this secret as fiercely as all mages before you.”

“That seems rather dramatic,” Janus commented.

“This is magic we’re talking about! Of course, it’s dramatic,” Remy said with a grin. “Now, swear that you’ll keep this secret locked inside your soul.”

The class did as Remy asked, with a bit of speculation but agreement all the same. Unfortunately, I can not repeat the spell, but I can tell you that it is activated by holding a finger to your wrist and saying the ‘activation’ word which I shall from here on censor as ‘stats’.

Remy demonstrated the spell and once he said stats a sheet of light projected from his wrist. Written on the sheet of light was:

Remington Animosni

Titles: Lord Animosni, Friend of the Crown, Expert Wizard, +...

MP: 52 - Full

HP: 100 - Full

Skills: Magic, Potion Making, Charisma, +...

“So this is your main status board,” Remy explained. “It shows your name, titles, MP aka magic points, HP aka health points, and skills. You can interact with it by tapping on whatever to expand the information on it.”

Remy demonstrated this by tapping on the title Expert Wizard, which caused the screen to change to this:

Expert Wizard.

Title earned by increasing MP above 45. Perks: increased HP. Drawbacks: none.

“This is how you can better understand your own magical capacity and skill set. If you want to view your stats privately, then just say S stats. If you want to see someone else’s stats then say X stats while pointing your wrist at the person you want to check. You will only be able to see their name, HP, and MP, but that’s still good to know if you’re perhaps fighting them.”

“Why would magic-users fight one another?” Patton asked.

Remy sighed. “The world is a complicated place, Pat. But never mind that. Try checking your stats, everyone.”

The students nodded then tried out the spells for themselves. All opting to view their stats privately. Logan opened his and read it critically.

Logan Picani

Titles: Loyal Friend, Loving Son, Apprentice Wizard.

MP: 10 - full

HP: 40 - full

Skills: Magic, Baking, Student, +...

He raised an eyebrow curiously and tapped on the skill Student.

Student.

Level: 23/100

Rare Skill. Perks: faster reading and comprehension, easily picks up new skills. Drawbacks: none.

That seems like a good skill to have. Logan wondered if it was the reason for his ability to teach himself so well. He tapped the word again and the screen changed back to the main status board. Then he tapped onto the title Apprentice Wizard.

Apprentice Wizard.

Title Earned by unlocking the skill Magic. Perks: MP access. Drawbacks: HP conversion.

“Um, Mr Ainmosni?”

“It’s Remy, kid. What’s up?”

“What does the drawback HP conversion mean?”

“Ah, well, if you run out of MP during casting a spell, then your HP will automatically be turned into MP. This is a drawback because it can mean draining your HP to below five, which causes you to fall unconscious and die if it reaches zero.” Remy explained.

“Isn’t there a way to stop that from happening?” Willow asked.

Remy shook his head. “It’s an automatic drawback that comes with becoming an apprentice wizard. There’s no way to stop it apart from being conscious of what spells you’re using and how much MP they take. Calculating this will hopefully help you to keep from draining yourselves, so keep that in mind when you’re trying out new spells, kay?”

Everyone nodded.

“Okay, now that you’re more familiar with your stats, let’s do a quick assessment of your magical knowledge, shall we? What are the basic magical categories… Virgil?”

“Rock, animals, water, plants, fire, air, healing, and mind.”

“Correct. Logan, why do these categories exist?”

“They are the eight-core magics. All spells fall under at least one category, and depending on which there will be a different Initiation Word.”

“Correct. Willow, what are the eight Initiation Words?”

“Mowntayn for rock, Pawyng for animal, Ignyght for fire, Groh for plants, um... Rayne for water, Stahwynd for air, Embraes for healing, and... Wysdome for mind.”

“Right. Janus, how is a spell cast?”

“You say the initiation word, draw whatever runes are necessary, then end off with the sealing word.”

“Good. Patton, why do we use runes?”

“The runes represent what specific spell you want to cast.”

“Yep. Remus, how many runes are there?”

“A million?”

“Close enough. Roman, what is the sealing word?”

“Solhart.”

“Correct! Now,” Remy grinned. “Let’s get to the tough stuff.”

The following days were pretty much the same as this one. The class either revised what basics they knew or Remy explained what they didn’t know. They practised pronunciation, studied runes, and learnt about different potion ingredients. Within the first month, the kids had pretty much memorised the basics of magic.

Logan had visited home every weekend and told his dad and Everleigh about it all, but his eagerness from that first week seemed to be slowly wearing out as the class did nothing new. He had thought that today was going to be the same, but instead of leading the students to the classroom this morning, Remy led them to the gardens.

“Uh, Remy? Where are we going?” Roman asked.

“Today, you kids will be going on your first quest,” Remy announced.

The group perked up. “Quest?”

“Yep. I’m confident in your understanding of basic magic, so I am going to let you go off on your own to find some potion ingredients for our first potion making class.”

Remy pulled out seven different pieces of paper. “I’ve made each of you a checklist for what we will need, and while you all have different items, I hope you’ll work together to find what you need. Oh, and before I send you off, I need to teach you a new spell. Inventory.”

Remy stopped and the kids circled around him to watch as he demonstrated the new spell. He picked up a stone and held it in front of him. “Stawynd.” with the indigo light that flowed from his fingertip, he drew a rune that looked like a locked box onto the stone. “Solhart.”

The rune turned white and then vanished with the stone, causing the students to gasp.

“Where did it go?”

“Right here.”

Remy opened his status board and showed the kids a small icon in the corner of the screen that looked like the rune he had drawn. He tapped on this icon and the screen changed to show a bunch of different slots, mostly empty apart from two. One with a picture of Remy’s flask and the other a picture of the stone from before.

“This is an inventory,” Remy explained. “You can put different items into each slot, and depending on your proficiency you will have more or fewer slots. To add items to your inventory, you do as I did to the stone. And to take them back out, you just double-tap,” Remy tapped the stone and it reappeared in his hand. “Tada! Okay, you try with your lists.”

Everyone tried out the new spell and practised it a few times before Remy let them all go on their quest. They went out a gate by the fence that seemed almost hidden and set off into the deep dark woods. Of course, it wasn’t very dark since the sun was shining brightly in the sky, and filtered through the trees to light their way.

“Should we check what each of our individual lists says?” Logan asked.

Patton nodded agreeingly. “Yeah, then we can keep an eye out for the different things.”

“Actually, I think we should just look for our own stuff. More things to look out for means we might miss our own.” Roman said.

Willow frowned. “But this is meant to be a group project.”

“Technically, Remy said he hoped we’d work together.” Remus pointed out.

“I have an idea,” Janus suggested. “Let’s work in teams.”

Roman rolled his eyes. “I just said that would be hard.”

“I mean smaller teams. One team works individually and the other works together, then we’ll see which way is better.”

“How are we going to split up though? There are seven of us.” Virgil pointed out.

“We can have a team of four for the working-together group. That’s four people working together but also the team of three will have fewer things to find, so It works out fairly.”

“Well, how are we choosing teams then?” Patton asked.

“Well, obviously I would be one of the team leaders. I’m a natural-born leader.” Roman declared.

“Yes, the leader of the losing team, because I’ll be leading the winning team.” Janus states.

“Remus and Patton are with me, and we’ll be the individuals.”

“Sounds good. We’ll see you three later then.” Janus said before walking away from the group.

Virgil, Logan, and Willow followed after them till the four were out of earshot. “So, lists?”

“I have blackroot, ginfleck, and wild ginger,” Willow reported.

Virgil frowned. “What’s ginfleck?”

“A medicinal herb used commonly in potions for stomach aches,” Logan replied. “It looks like a sunflower but pink.”

“Why not call it a pink sunflower then?”

“Because… I honestly don’t know.”

“Logan, you live nearby here right?” Janus asked.

“In town, but yes.”

“Any idea where we could find some of this?”

“Well, I think I remember seeing a ginfleck patch somewhere along the road.”

“Let’s go there first then. We can keep an eye out for everything else along the way.” Virgil said, turning in the direction of the road.

And so they went and collected the pink sunflowers and everything else on their lists. It was only late afternoon by the time they returned to the house, but they found Remy lying on a hammock in the garden, napping in the sun.

“Remy? Remy? Remington? Oi, Remy, wake up!” Virgil said, shaking the snoring man.

“Huh? Where’s the dragon?”

“Here,” Janus answered.

“Eh? Oh, hey Snake-Eye, Wolfie, Lo, Violent.”

Virgil rolled his eyes. “You weren’t responding to the gentle shaking.”

“That’s no reason to make a man think there’s an earthquake.”

“Whatever. Have the others come back yet?”

Remy shrugged. “I think the twins are in the house.”

“Patton wasn’t with them?” Willow asked.

“No. Did you all split up?”

“Yes, but we didn’t think they would split up. We divided ourselves into two teams.” Janus stated.

“Well, I’m sure it’s nothing to worry about and Pat will be back soon. Why don’t you guys head inside and get some lunch.” Remy suggested.

The kids exchanged anxious glances but nodded and headed off to the dining room. While they were not exactly a close group of friends, the one person who’d befriended each of them was Patton. He was a kind little ball of sunshine and no one wanted any harm to come to him. Once they were inside the house, the four found Remus worriedly pacing by the door and Roman gloomily watching her from the corner.

Remus paused. “Did you guys see Patton?”

“No. Did the three of you split up?”

“I thought we could cover more ground that way,” Roman answered. “This is all my fault.”

“Let’s not go jumping to conclusions just yet,” Logan said. “Maybe he couldn’t find one of his items?”

“No. I saw Pat’s list before we split up. They were three common types of wild berries that he could have found easily.” Remus declared.

“You’re sure?” Willow asked.

“I saw them all over while I was getting my stuff.”

“He must be lost. It’s rather easy with how thick these woods are,” Virgil said.

“We need to find him,” Janus declared. “We’ve got to go back and look for him.”

“Where and how though? He could be anywhere,” Roman said with clear fear in his tone.

“Willow can track him. They’ve been trained in finding lost people.”

“Yeah, but I’d need a scent to go off of.”

“Like from clothes?” Remus asked.

“Clothes, or a personal item he keeps close.”

Remus ran away then returned in record time with a teal blanket. “Would this work?”

Willow took the item and smelt it. “Yes, this is perfect.”

“We might have to sneak past Remy, in case he tries to stop us.” Janus said.

“There’s another gate that’s closer to the house that we can get through.” Virgil declared.

“Who’s we though? We’re going to need to choose who is a part of this rescue.” Roman pointed out.

“I don’t think any of us are willing to stay behind, not if we could help. Patton may be in danger, and his getting lost is evidence enough that no one should venture off on their own. We need to work as a team here. A real team.” Logan stated.

Janus looked at the twins. “I’m willing to call a truce in the name of teamwork if you are.”

Roman nodded in agreement and Remus grinned. “Let’s go save Pat!”

The group followed Virgil outside and through the second hidden gate. From there, Willow took the lead as she sniffed out Patton’s scent. The group grew anxious the further Willow led them. Patton had gone quite far, from the looks of it, but it felt like something was wrong.

“Why would he have gone so far?” Logan wondered.

“I hate to suggest it, but something may have chased him,” Janus said and Willow nodded agreeingly.

“Wouldn’t that leave a scent of its own?”

“Yes, but I can’t discern anything. There are a lot of smells out here.”

“Can you smell anything?” Roman asked Janus.

“No. I can’t smell at all.”

“What?”

“I’m a dragon. We don’t have a sense of smell like humans do. We use a special organ on the roof of our mouths.”

“Aren’t you half-human?”

“That just makes it easier to shift between my humanoid and dragon form. There aren’t many other differences.”

“Wait, do you hear that?”

The team paused and listened. The only sounds Logan could make out were the normal ambience of the forest. But then he heard it.

“Hello? Is anyone up there?”

“Patton?!” Remus bolted towards the voice, the others followed him close behind.

He came to stop at the edge of a hole and looked down. “Patton? How did you get down there?”

“Remus! Hi! I jumped.”

“You jumped? From this height?” Janus asked, eyeing the drop disapprovingly.

The hole looked like the beginnings of a well, around three stories deep and some stones piled like a wall around the one side. Either the well-maker had abandoned their project halfway, or half of the well had mysteriously been taken away. That wasn’t important though, because right now the team had to figure out how to get Patton back up.

“I’m fine! The water was here to break my fall!”

“Why did you jump in the first place?” Roman demanded.

“I was being chased by some bees.” Patton sheepishly admitted. “My mom always told me, if that happens then you should get below water, quickly. Bees don’t like water.”

“How did you antagonise these bees?” Logan inquired.

“I was trying to get some honey for Remus.”

“Aw, Pat, that’s really sweet. But I’ve been worried sick about where you went!”

“Oh, I’m sorry.”

“It’s fine. You’re safe now. Um, how do we get him back up though?” Remus asked the group.

“I can grow a long strong vine to use as rope for us to hoist him up,” Roman suggested.

Janus nodded. “Well then, get to growing. We don’t have all day.”

Roman quickly did as he was told and once the vine-rope looked long enough the team tossed one end down to Patton. Each of them lined up and held onto the other end then pulled to get him out of the hole. With all six of them working together, it was a quick and easy task. Once Patton was clear of the well, Remus attacked him with a hug, and he thanked everyone for coming to rescue him.

The entire group was relieved to have him back. So relieved that they didn’t feel any worry, until they returned to the manor and came face to face with Remy.

“Do you have any idea how worried I was? You didn’t even suggest you were going out! And what do I find? Not only one of my students is missing- all of them are! Gone without a trace! Like, poof, never there! What were you thinking? Actually, scratch that were you even thinking?!”

He went on like that until dinner time and the kids decided that among all the lessons they’d learned today, ‘Don’t Freak Remy Out’, is now at the top. Also, maybe it would be better to stick together than separate. They made a good team when their prejudices weren’t getting in the way. But above all, they should never freak Remy out.

---

A/N: thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed this. I'll be posting two chapters a day until the full fic is up, so if you want to be tagged, you can just ask.

I'd love to hear what you thought about the chapter if you wouldn't mind commenting. Thanks again for reading! Here's hoping you have a magical day 💜

Secret Santa Apex

@apex-secretsanta

@dupesoclock I hope u like it bro marry Christmas my dude

Sorry if it kinda sucks if u dont like it i can write u something else or try to draw u something but ya i hope u like it bro

Octane smiled softly as he brushed a stray strand of hair out of Elliot's face. He looked so peaceful. Like nothing bad could ever happen, and for once octane hoped things would never change. Elliott stirred awake before wrapping his arms around octane, pushing their bodies impossibly close. The sound of octane's heartbeat lulling him back to sleep. Octane pulled Elliot closer, wrapping his legs around him before returning to sleep. The warmth of his partner made him feel safe. Elliott woke up, smiling upon seeing how octane was positioned. Octane had trouble staying still even while sleeping apparently. He was face-first on the ground with what was left of his legs resting on the bed. He was going to be sore after this. Elliott went to the restroom and when he returned octane was still face-first on the ground. Elliott picked him up, carrying him back to bed placing him in a comfortable position before placing a kiss on his forehead. Just as he was about to leave octane grabbed his hand pulling him down.

“Where are you going, mi amor (my love)?” Octane placed a kiss on his cheek.

“Uh breakfast and it's 10 am we should probably get up” Mirage reasoned trying to stand up.

Octane crawled on top of Elliott, making sure he would be able to get up.

“No, we don't”.

“Are you telling me that thee Octane wants to stay in bed all day but isn't your whole motto go go go”?

“It is, but it's just so comfy with you” He pressed his face into Elliot's chest.

“Your chest is very soft by the way” Octane grabbed Eliott’s chest pressing them together.

Elliott slapped his hands away sitting up before pushing Octane away.

“Leave my chest alone!” Elliott stuck out his tongue and covered his chest with his arms.

“You mean your boobs?” Elliot's face turned bright red, he grabbed a pillow throwing it with all his might hitting Octane in his face.

Octane laughed at Elliot's little outburst.

“You're an asshole, you know that right!” Elliott shouted, his lip forming a pout.

Octane crawled towards him, “And your prefect” octane placed a quick kiss on his lips.

“You can't do that! You can't win every argument by kissing me!” Elliott turned his back facing Octane.

“Oh come on, no estés enojado conmigo amor (don't be mad at me love). I was just joking. You still love me right?” Octan hugged Elliott from behind wrapping his arms around his waist resting his chin on his shoulder.

“Of course I still love you! I'm just up-up, sus-set, frick, I'm just upset!” Elliott pouted, crossing his arms.

“Pero porque (but why)? Is it cuz I said you had boobs?” Octane slid his arms up to cup Elliott’s chest.

Elliott sighed pushing Octane’s arms down.

“Maybe” he whispered.

“But I love your boobs,” Octane said, placing a kiss on his shoulder, placing a hand over his chest before grabbing a handful of flesh.

“Can you stop saying boobs please?” Elliott said, moving away from Octane.

“Ey, no te enojes (hey don't get mad), If I make you something will you forgive me” Octane reached for Elliott making grabby hands.

“You'll burn the house down” Eliott rolled his eyes.

“No! I can cook. My parents were always too busy to cook for me and the maid never made anything I liked” Octane grimace at the memory “I don't want no rich people food yuck” Octane stuck his tongue out.

Elliott glared at him.

“Fine I can only cook like three things and I make a mess… but my arroz con leche and flan taste good! Ask Ajay she can vouch for me!”.

“Fine but you're cleaning the kitchen and you're washing the dishes” Octane groaned but agreed.

He grabbed his prosthetics and ran off to the kitchen. After what seemed forever Octane came back with the food.

“Tada! What do you think” Octane grabbed a spoon and placed it at Elliott’s lips “Does it taste good?”

“You made this tavi? I don't believe it” Elliott said, taking another spoonful of the arroz con leche.

“I'll take that as a yes,” Octane said before eating his.

“Hey, amor” mirage hummed in response.

“Tienes algo aquí (you have something here)” Octane cupped his face before kissing him.

“Did you get it?” Mirage smirked.

“You know what I think I missed” Octane kissed him again.

“There”.

“You're so cheesy sometimes you know that, pretty sure that was my job” Mirage kissed the tip of Octane’s nose.

Octane giggled, “But you love me for it don't ya?”

“Maybe I do, maybe I don't guess, you'll never know” Octane pouted.

“Come on, come on, come on! The suspense is killing me amigo” Octane gripped mirage’s shoulder shaking him lightly.

Mirage laughed making Octane smile. He felt as if he was falling in love all over again.

Mirage warped his arms around Octane pressing a kiss to his face, “Does that answer your question?”

Octane pretended to think for a moment before giving him his iconic shit-eating grin, “No I don't think it did”.

“I thought you were smarter than that because the answer is obviously I do love you” Mirage kissed his cheek.

“Amigo you shouldn’t expect that much from me. I mean come on we share a brain cell and you own it”.

Mirage ruffled Octane's hair, “You know what, maybe we should stay here all day. It's not like we had anything ur-ur,ga-gan… important to do”.

Octane looked up at mirage like he meant the world to him, and he did.

“Stop”.

“Stop what? Going to have to be more specific than that amor”.

“Stop looking at me like that!”

“I can't help it you're just too adorable when you stutter”.

“No, I'm not!” Mirage’s cheeks flushed bright red.

“Boop” Octane poked Mirage's nose with his index finger.

There was a moment of silence before they both burst out laughing.

“Te quiero” octane said out of nowhere.

Mirage giggled, “I know”.

“Good just wanted to make sure you knew” Octane placed a kiss on his forehead.

“Well, then you should know I love you too” Mirage cupped his face and returned the kiss.

Everything was perfect. There was nothing wrong. No one was shouting, there were no gunshots. No scary murder bots, no drug addictions to worry about. It was just perfect. And they both hoped that it would be like this always and that time would slow down a bit to let them enjoy this moment a bit more.

OKAY I TOOK MY SWEET ASS TIME, LET’S WATCH PSI EP 4!

I know there’s gonna be evolution sequences and insert songs and I am hyped, let’s go

Looking away from the opening preview to avoid spoilers wheeeeeee

OH YEAH TSUYOGATTE TOBINOTTE KAZE NI NATTEEEE- I can’t believe how much this song has grown on me lol

[Jurasic Park theme] Holy fucking shit’s it’s a dinosaur jesus christ what the fuuuuck djfkhjsfh

AGUMON I MISSED YOUUUU also hmm, this quick shot has a very familiar off-model look to it... Masahiro Naoi, is that you?

“Taichi where are we, overseas?” jdfhkjhfgkjsghjkshdfg HOW DID YOU COME TO THIS CONCLUSION SORA, HONEY DFHKJ

Sora is so chill about Agumon wtf lmao, oh man I’m sorry but I miss the screams of horror and confusion from the first episode of Adventure but I need to stop harping on that real bad

Attempted to translate that but I actually can’t figure out what it reads for the life of me- like it says “tada mo ochiyo, himiri moshiusu, chi haki are” and rusty as my Japanese may be, the middle sentence doesn’t have any real words and and the other two don’t really form actual sentences... F

OH WAIT, THE CODE IS JUST WRITTEN WRONG LMFAO DJSFHKJGSJDFG (I mean it’s either that or my DigiCode chart is fucked, but considdering I was able to read Cyber Sleuth just fine with this chart I wanna say mine is correct)

You two have a loooong ass hike to the Mountain

PIYOMON!! I COULD RECOGNIZE THAT VOICE ANYWHERE! Poor baby is being bullied

I am really interested in learning more about how the partner Digimon feel about being roped into the quest to save the world... That’s the kinda thing I would write about

TENTOMON!!! AAAA IDK why but seeing the Digimon is making me feel like a baby watching Adventure for the first time again, I’m weak lol

NGL like while Sora’s OG hat is iconic, the new cap she was wearing looks way better on her and matches the rest of her outfit better

Ah, Piyomon knows about Sora...

Ah, a raft.... Oh seeeeven, try to be free~

[Saws theme]

HOL FUCK THAT EVOLUTION

HOLY FUCK THAT WAS AMAZING

HOLY FUCK

FUCK

AAAAAA

Oh Greymon swimming was cute BUT OMG THE EVOLUTION

Okay so. I’m not feeling any kind of a bond between Sora and Piyomon and her immidiate reaction to jump in to save Piyomon feels... Weird to me. Like in Adventure seeing the kids jump in made sense because way before we’d see that happen with each child, we also saw the Digimon throw themselves RECKLESSLY at whatever was trying to hurt the kids. The kids had a reason to care about their partners because they knew that for some unknown reason, the Digimon already loved them and that was moving. But in Psi there isn’t a connection like that here, and while with Taichi I can easily forgive him pulling off something like that because “he’s the brave one”... Like I just don’t buy it with Sora. It just feels like stock writing that the characters are going through, not because they have an emotional reason or a motivation, but because “that’s what they’re supposed to do” (Also we spent a lot of time just seeing the kids bond with the Digimon over the course of a lot of time so the extra time to interact also helped a lot, Psi hasn’t had that so far)

LET’S GOO BIRDDRAMON

EVOLUTION (battle?) THEME LET’S GOOOOOOOO

I’m sure Be the Winner will grown on me but I definitely prefer and miss Brave Heart rn (but I respect the choise to give us a new song, and I’ll take it over nothing)

Birdramon gets taxi duty, nice

ORGEMON!! MY BOY!!! MY DARLING!!! I HEARD YOUR VA RETURNED TO REPRISE YOUR ROLE AAAAAAA oh he doesn’t get to talk, boo

WHAMON, DON’T EAT RANDOM PEOPLE IN THE NET, THAT’S RUDE

Oh fuck the episode ended, lmao crap

Preview time, let’s a gooo (oooh the next episode is titled “Holy Digimon” ohohohoohohho that sounds good)

Ah nothing new in the preview, oh well

Welp beyond my complaints about a small thing in the writing, it was fine! Shockingly uneventful to be honest, I feel like very little happened in this episode? IDK comparing to Birddramon’s introduction episode in Adventure at least it felt very uneventful

Still, it was fine! A-ok!

The Raven Boys, Review

So I just finished reading The Raven Boys and oh boy do i have mixed feelings about it, some mixture of keysmashing adoration and some (opinion-based, non-bashing) criticism. I’ll probably give it a 3.5/5, so if that number offends you already, don’t read the rest of this review.

That being said, if I cited a reason for not liking something (e.g. I thought there was a logic jump or something wasn’t explained but it actually was in the book), and in reality, I just misinterpreted something, you’re welcome to inform me of that. I was in a semi rush to finish it, so I might have missed small details.

[Also, sorry, but this is literally all straight from memory, including the quotes. I’m too lazy to find the exact place and quotes of what I remembered, so if I used quotes for anything, realize it’s not a direct quote, but rather me paraphrasing what I remembered and quoting it to show something along that line was said in the book.]

Last warning: loooong post ahead!

I think very broadly speaking, I did like the book. The problem for me is that it kinda took so long for it to get going. I did the in-depth scene-by-scene reaction for chapter 1 - 14. You guys know (or you can read) about how excited I was to finally have the boys and Blue meet and for everything to start moving.

I don’t think it disappointing when they finally met. Off the top of my head, I can tell you that I liked Adam’s shyness and sweetness when he realized that the palm reader’s daughter is Blue, that Maura and Gansey had a stare off (”Tell me straight off if you don’t want to help me, but don’t tell me lies, don’t give me excuses.” “I don’t want to help you.” Iconic!), that Ronan had a moment of ‘Prove it’ and they showed him (”You know who killed your father”, I think. Also, Calla’s power is cool.). It’s just… it took 15 chapters, ~150 pages for them to finally meet, only for them to depart again like nothing’s going to change.

I felt like it could have really been cut down by some, like Ronan’s backstory, which was cool, or tragic, honestly, but it wasn’t necessary to be introduced waay in the beginning of the book. Honestly, I don’t think it was necessary to have his backstory appear in this book at all. I’m sure this mystery of Ronan’s father’s death would come into play later, but like… I feel like it could have been introduced in the beginning of the second book and it would have been just as well. All we really needed to know was Declan and Ronan has a bad relationship, Ronan’s father died and that those facts explains Ronan’s bad attitude and him not caring about school. The murdering part could first make an appearance at Ronan’s ‘Prove it’ moment at Blue’s, which would make the readers aware (without so much telling too) that although we knew he died, we didn’t know he was killed and also Ronan knows something about it.

Same thing with Whelk. We coulda gotten a dark unknown POV from him and have it later revealed that tada, it was Whelk, the Latin teacher that Ronan thought was a bit shifty and Ganey thought was tragic that he couldn’t befriend him like he did with everyone else. But having everything out in the open, the story 1) dragged and 2) lots of this information, that although mentioned, is pushed to the back of the reader’s mind. I already forgot that Whelk existed halfway through the book and whenever he appeared again, I’m like, yeah, that’s right, and there’s this guy, can’t wait to see how he’ll get involved in the story. And that happened again and again and again.

On the other hand, NOAH!!! I did not see the part with Noah coming, although in retrospect, that makes so much sense. I loved the twist!! I I think I commented somewhere that it seems like people consider the raven boys to be Gansey&Ronan&Adam more than Gansey&Ronan&Adam&Noah and that turned out to be right!! Because they don’t know he exist!! Because he’s a ghost!! Because he’s Czerny!!

Even when they found his skeleton and the car and his license, I thought Blue and Gansey somehow went forward in time and found Noah later dead because of this treasure hunting they’re doing for this long forgotten magical king, so when the final reveal came out (”Noah, you’ve been dead for 7 years”), I was SHOOK. Legit SHOOK, goosebumps and all, and I love it so much. I didn’t see it coming but the hints were there. Noah not eating. Why Noah has so little screen time. Why he made a ‘dead for 7 years joke’ to Ashley. Why he didn’t throw up but retched when he saw the Mustang. It made so much sense, it was GENIUS and I applaud Maggie Stiefvater for this because I honestly didn’t see it coming and I love this twist.

But, I also just… don’t understand how Declan knew Noah and how Ashely ended up meeting him. While Gansey was thinking back and figuring out that Noah was a ghost, Gansey said he didn’t remember ever seeing Noah out of their apartment, never seen Noah eat or remember anyone outside of their immediate friends mentioning Noah. But like… Declan introduced Noah to Ashley when they stopped by to the raven boys place. Is there something special about Declan or… is there any other explanation for why Declan knows about Noah and doesn’t seem to forget?

Also, I love the individuality, the different backstory everyone has, and how they interact with each other. Believe me, I do, but… besides the helicopter scene where the raven boys and Blue met up for the first time (which, btw, wtf Blue. These are essentially strangers. Aglionby boys. I know there’s a destiny to be fulfilled and your fates are linked together and all, but going into a helicopter with three boys and a woman you do not know is a BIG no-no. It’s like getting into three strange guys’ car, except worse because you’re in the air, you can’t escape. Why, Blue, why. They call you sensible. Be sensible!).

Erm, anyway, besides the helicopter scene where the raven boys and Blue met up for the first time, I didn’t really sense, um, them bonding or growing closer? I’ll be honest, I can’t tell you how I would have gone about showing strangers growing closer and becoming friends. Maybe I would have done it the montage way that TRB opted for, with them discovering the mystical raven printed land made of oyster shells and then going, let’s meet up and research together some more! I can imagine them growing closer over those days, but at the same time, i couldn’t really sense it?

The same way I couldn’t really sense what research they’ve done between their first visit and their second, I couldn’t tell how they grew closer. Noah fluffs Blue’s hair afterwards, but besides that… I don’t really sense a change? I think it might have been better if we were given a little more details on how those researches go, show them bickering, show Blue refusing to let Gansey buy her anything and then the boys relenting to eating lots of convenient store stuff. Show Blue and Adam exchanging exasperated commoner looks at Gansey and Ronan’s reaction to eating cheap low quality food, show Noah watching with a half-hidden smile, show the warmth that grows in Blue and Adam’s heart at the adjustments the rest of the raven boys are willing to do for them. Just… a paragraph summarizing what happened during those times are not enough for me. I can imagine, but don’t let me do all the work here. Give me some details and maybe then I can fill in the rest of the blank.

The boys’ reaction to the revelation that it was Blue’s voice on the recorder honestly feels a little underwhelming. I was expecting a little more grilling, but then they were just like, okay, moving on, her voice on the recorder along with Gansey’s, despite she weren’t anywhere near Gansey or the recorder, despite the fact that Gansey never said anything. Blue is the daughter of a psychic, who seems like a real deal. Don’t consider asking Blue why that happened or what that meant, and definitely don’t even ask Blue to inquire Maura about it. Also, Ronan pushed, but it didn’t feel enough and also it didn’t feel like he was pushing about the things that any other person would have pushed the answers for. I do realize that Adam told Ronan to stop, but I feel equally certain that if Ronan really wanted to push, he would have gone behind their backs to find out.

I loved that hallucination-inducing tree. It’s super duper cool, not to mention it showed all of them these visions that I’m deathly curious about how they’re going to end up playing out and of course, their aftermaths.

Adam’s had me most curious, because it speaks of themes like deaths and betrayal. The raven boys are so close and so lovely together that I couldn’t ever imagine it happening, especially the way that Adam saw it in the dream, Gansey on the floor dead or dying, Adam standing above him as his slayer or at least the direct cause of Gansey’s harm, Ronan’s “Are you happy now, Parish, are you satisfied? Is this enough. Is this really what you wanted?” Just… tragedy is the heartbreak that awaits them, and that’s not even counting Ganesy’s death that is foreseen by his spirit being on the corpse road.

I couldn’t imagine Adam like that in the future, couldn’t imagine what would drive him to that point, but I think we caught a glimpse of that future Adam towards the end when he tried to awake the ley line, despite Gansey’s disagreement. That… on one hand, I can see what drove him to that point, the despair, the desperation, when everything that makes you you is crush so ruthlessly beneath someone else’s feet (Adam’s pride, his individuality, and with it, his freedom within this world that constricts him because this world speaks not in humanity or kindness, which Adam has in dozens, but in power and money, which Adam don’t) that not even dust of left of it

On the other hand, I just really didn’t want things to turn out the way they were foreseen to. I sincerely got chills when Adam left to wake the ley line, the moment when it hit Gansey where Adam had gone, and I could literally feel Gansey’s pain when he realized that Adam not only betrayed him so explicitly (”It’s not worth waking Glendower in exchange for someone else’s life”, Gansey said. “We’ll find another way.”), but spat in his face in one last ‘fuck you’ by taking Gansey’s car when Adam could have so easily hotwired Ronan’s instead. There’s so much more I can say about Gansey and Adam’s relationship, but I won’t, not here, since this is honestly supposed to be more of a review and less of an analysis, so check out this separate analysis of Adam leaving his home after reporting the abuse and the dynamic between Adam-Ronan and Adam-Gansey if you’re really interested in how I saw their relationship.

What else? Oh, the Latin speaking trees are cool. The trees are more cultured than me. Also, I really liked Cabeswater and its ‘I will change to whatever the people in it wants.’ One, I love the specificity, Gansey discovering this trait because of the fishes and their not-red belly turned red. Second, the description for when Adam went to wake the ley line and then he was a little spooked by the darkness so he wished there was more light and Cabeswater just responded by drowning the entire forest in light, awash it with pretty fairy golden dust. I love that image so much and Adam’s evident awe.

Aaand now we’re almost there to talk about the end, but before that, I can’t believe I forgot. Gansey’s brush with death!! Via Whelk!! Via his car breaking down!! Via reverse ex-machina.

Like, don’t get me wrong, I was seriously tense when Gansey ended up being at gunpoint by Whelk. That was intense and I was so proud of Gansey boy when he remembered what Ronan taught him and then proceeded to toward all of them out of the proverbial window save the most important, life-saving advice of aiming. And aim Gansey did and that’s how he ended up alive here for me to talk about (tho I can’t speak too soon, let’s be honest. He is still destined to die, was still seen on the corpse road). And then following that, I love the moment when Ronan and Adam contemplated the what-if Gansey wasn’t so lucky and he died. I can really feel that they care in that scene, that both of them would be sincerely lost without Gansey there. But there were just a little too many coincidences for me to suspend my disbelief for that scene.

And then before I forget, because how can I move on to talk about the ending without mentioning this, the Gansey for Noah trade. Did I mention that the first time Gansey mentioned he died once, I legit thought that it was a metaphor? “Wasp squirming him, enclosing his entire body in death” seemed more metaphorical to me than real, yet that happened.

And Noah paid the price.

That was really chilling as they pieced everything together. So, kudos to Maggie Stiefvater again, though… I’m not sure how much this works, mathematically? The world wants Gansey to be alive, and Noah was on the ley line to be sacrificed, so they killed Noah and let Gansey live. But like… Noah was on the ley line to be sacrificed, wasn’t he, was death not his ending even without Gansey encountering death on the other side of the globe and needing Noah to swap him out of it? And yet they acted like Gansey killed Noah with his own two hands, because that was equivalent, the unwitting, unknowing, unwilling exchange.

Also, Noah seemed weirdly chill with it for someone who unwillingly died for someone else (Gansey), and why did he end up in Gansey’s group anyway. Did Noah willingly chose to seek Gansey out knowing this was the boy that he died for? I was also expecting a little more of him and Whelk’s analysis towards the end, after all, Whelk killed Noah and they were friends before, yet… weirdly not much? I do think that was in part because Noah’s bones were moved from the ley line, so he was weaker and stuff, but at the same time, Cabeswater was full of magic, so eh, I don’t see why there wasn’t a bit more.

Anddd, that’s about it? I was really excited to talk about the ending, but then it’s been a while and most of the details escaped me.

Stuff that I remembered that stuck out to me:

what happened to Neeve was just weird, Maura seemed weirdly chill about Neeve’s fate into the unknown for being her half-sister

after all that happened between Adam and the rest of the gang (betrayal, anyone?), it seems to strange that they slotted seamlessly back together like nothing happened and despite the fact that there seems to be a bit of implications that Adam’s not quite human anymore?

the image of the gang digging up Noah’s bones from his grave is so strangely hilarious

the last line of the book: “I pulled Chainsaw out of my dream,” wtf, Ronan, don’t end like that???!!

So yeah, that’s about it. Sorry that this ended up being a bit rushed and incoherent at the end, but I did really wanna finish this post, so here’s what I thought about it. If I seem a little harsh on it, I’m sorry, I think I feel it too. All I can say is that maybe I’m too old to read YA fictions now.

If you have a scene/moment that you wanted me to talk about that I didn’t in this review, feel free to message/ask me about it.

Notes on AU!Roman

Reversed Background

Almost everything about Roman’s home planet is explained in this post, though I've come up with a few amendments since them. Mainly regarding the name which is now KXT-49. But here are some additional notes.

- His family has weird hair and eye colors because at some point they volunteered as test subjects for cosmetic gene modification to make some extra money. It’s one of the many things that people can do on these corporation owned planets to earn extra cash.

- Was discovered to be an abnormally fast learner from a really early age, but that didn’t amount to anything seeing as hello, their lives are still pretty much corporate collateral.

- Access to reading materials is very sparse on his planet and internet access was limited, so anything he could read he would tear through repeatedly. He never attended an official school. Like most of the kids on the planet, the only education they got was from teachers from a voluntary organization coming over to give them lessons, which is how his sister-in-law Clairesse got involved in his life.

- Clairesse played a big role in cultivating his interest in learning, especially in science and math. Her being able to come and go from the planet as she wished allowed her to bring back lots of reading materials and learning aids that helped him immensely.

- His big break came when he got intergalactic attention for discovering a huge flaw in a prominent scientific theory that basically changed the foundations of modern science (I often joke that it’s Einsteins theory of relativity but I might actually have to research on this one)

- That’s basically how he earned a full scholarship to NEMI under the Technological & Systems and Support majors from one of the biggest names in R&D in the galaxy (possibly Nabaal, we’ll have to see when i start developing my concepts for the AU!Hyperion Collective).

- He’s got a very simple goal; make cutting edge breakthroughs in tech development that’ll earn him enough money to buy his family out of indentured labor.

- Naturally he’s practically guaranteed to end up in for Alpha in this universe, primarily because he doesn't have the glaring personality flaws his canon self possesses.

Personality

- My basis for his personality was basically what Roman would be like if he didn’t turn out to be so very jaded and cynical about everything. AU! Roman is intelligent, but more importantly he’s obviously constantly curious and isn’t reserved about it. He know’s he’s smarter than most but he doesn't rub that in everyone else faces. He’s not at all reserved when it comes to asking questions, and when he really hooks on to a topic those questions can get rapid fire and intense as all hell.

- He has an almost scary desire to improve himself and is always working on something. Doesn't matter if he’s reading, doing homework, learning some new skill or going ham in the workshop, it’s as if he constantly needs to be working somehow. A lot of that compulsion probably comes from the fact that he thinks he missed out on so much time to do so much while he was just a farm boy on his home planet. Now he feels that he needs to make up for that, not to mention the fact that his family’s basically relying on him to get them out of hell. No pressure.

- You know that one Hamilton song? Why do you write like you’re running out of time? That’s him. Part of him feels like this whole experience is a dream from which he might wake up from at any time, which is why he’s got to make the best use of it while he can.

- One thing he retains about his canon personality is how organized he is. In addition he’s very frugal and doesn't waste anything. Does everything to maximum effectiveness, which might come off as OCD a lot of the time.

- He’s definitely a lot more genuine. Oh yes he’s got no qualms about being open about his feelings. One might say he really took after his mother on this one. It might take awhile for him to ease into it though, since back home he’s very used to repressing his emotions just to make things easier on those around him. But once he gets used to the idea that he’s in an environment where he doesn't have to do that, oh boy are we going to have a fun time.

- I feel like he would also retain some of his manipulative edge. Not a lot of it, just enough to show that he’s self-aware about his motivations. He knows he’s there for a purpose and that’s to get rich. Anything that brings him a step closer to that goal, he’ll do in a heartbeat. Contrary to his canon self, he’d probably be very contentious about making friendly relationships, especially with others who could prove useful in the future. He especially would target individuals that’re well off, which I think at some point will lead to him befriending the wrong people (ie. AU!Aoife, if my ideas for her pan out, nudge nudge wink wink). Realizing where his morals stand in comparison to his ambitions is probably going to become a definitive struggle for him.

- He is very shrewd when it comes to making money and takes up any opportunity he can find. He will do a lot of things for money, even if they border on morally gray or take advantage of legal loopholes. Though he probably wouldn’t commit a crime. I’ve actually envisioned him plotting some sort of scam type scheme with Day to steal from the rich and give to the poor (himself) which might be a whole episode i’ll write about later.

- He tries not to lie, though he can and will twist/omit the truth. He definitely feels guilt about his ulterior motives but tells himself it's all for a good cause.

- He’s probably going to start as someone who avoids conflict and takes insults rather than fighting back since I imagine that’s the kind of treatment he’s endured back on his home planet. He’s also diplomatic rather than confrontational in nature. However he’s probably going to develop with time from being calculatingly passive to actually being able to stand up for himself. There’ll come a breaking point where someone pushes him a little too far and he snaps, giving rise to him easing into the iconic sassmaster9000 that he was meant to be.

- He might fight some people, though he’d probably since he's a scrawny farm boy with minimal combat training.

- I feel like he keeps trying to do ridiculous experimental stuff going out of his way to try to break the law of physics. Everyone else is just like Roman stop why can’t you give us regular exosuit upgrades like everyone else and he’s just like NORMAL ISN’T GOING TO MAKE ME RICH. He especially wants to build a portable temporal flux device ie. mini time travel machine. Imagine someone being able to zip about through time like tracer.

- He really likes animals. REALLY likes them. I swear he will befriend any animal in existence.

Family

- His family structure is essentially the same as canon, two half brothers, father, mother. Only difference being that his mom’s actually still alive in this one.

- His brother’s mother, Elizabeth was the sister of his mother, Victoria. She fell ill and died, leaving Victoria to take care of her young nephews. Somewhere along the line Frederick and Victoria fell in love and they got married and tada, Roman was born.

- Roman has a lot of respect for his parents, both of whom are ridiculously hardworking. They tried their best to keep the children away from hard work for as long as they could so it wouldn’t stunt their growth or affect their health, but it took a heavy toll on them. Frederick’s health has been poor over the past few years, and while Victoria’s determination to raise her children has prevented her from falling into the same pit of despair she did in canon, she can get really emotionally unstable, hysterical and is always stressed about making ends meet.

- Roman got a lot of his diplomatic personality from dealing with his mother who overreacts to things a lot. It’s an unspoken rule in their household that he’s pretty much the only one who really knows how to handle her when she’s like that.

- His oldest brother Alexander follows closely in their father’s footsteps. He is happily married to Clairesse and they're about to have their first child. Roman is really to Clairesse, She’s practically the sister she never had and they act like they’ve been siblings forever.

- His brother Caesar is the troublemaker in the family. To everyone’s dismay he’s constantly getting into trouble gambling, drinking and being an unscrupulous womanizer. He's been chased out of the house with a broom more times than anyone can count. He constantly tries to mooch money off his younger brother, and though Roman never gives him any he sneaks food out so Caesar doesn't go hungry. It feels a lot like he’s the older brother whenever he as to give Caesar a lecture about not being a fucking dumbass.

What if MC + Jumin/707 decide to get Zen a sphynx kitty for his birthday? That way lovely Zen can experience the awesomeness that is cats but it doesn't bother his allergies :o

My favorite type of kitty! I hope you like this!

~Admin Rowan

Zen had to admit MC looked adorable with their sheepish grin when they returned to the party. It had made his heart flutter, even if Luciel and Jumin had been acting weird and had made him feel a little nervous. He also had to admit that while curious about the special present it had started a small boiling feeling of jealousy when Luciel pushed MC back out into the hallways, insisting on adding a little special touch to the surprise.

Jumin was instructing the cameraman he brought where to set up to record the reveal while Zen checked with Jaehee and Yoosung if they knew the surprise. However it seemed only half the RFA was in on it, and Zen was starting to feel a tightness in his chest the longer Luciel was out in the hallway with MC. Zen crossed the rented party room intent on checking in on them, anxious at the thought of how long they had been alone, when the door swung open. It barely missed Zen who stepped back in time to watch Luciel’s attempt at a grand entrance.

“Ladies and Gentlemen, your God of Justice 707 presents the angel MC and the best gift ever!” Jumin nodded enthusiastically filling Zen with dread as he heard it before he saw it. A tiny, ominous, mew.

“Tada!” MC entered holding a tiny wrinkly thing. Zen stared at the mass of skin folds, some of which were hidden under a tiny sweater with an image of one of Zen’s icons from the chatroom, feelings the watering in his eyes and a burning sensation crawling up his throat into his sinuses.

“MC? What were you- you- A-chew!” Zen gave a monstrous sneeze as MC turned the creature away from him.

“Come on Zen! It’s hairless! Elizabeth the fourth can’t be triggering your allergy!” Luciel whimpered reaching towards the kitten.

“You are not naming her that.” MC glared at him. “There is only one Elizabeth the third and she’s a tough act to follow…” MC grumbled at him.

Zen had felt the pressure increasing as he fled to the otherside of the room and towards a tissue box.

“MC! I expected this from 707 and Mr. Han, but why?” Jaehee met Zen and was trying to comfort him, but stared at Zen’s Princess.

“But… she’s hairless!” MC repeated it with her voice raising in panic. He took a step towards her longing to hug her and calm her fears, however the restriction in his chest as he meet those big blue eyes of the kitten stilled him.

It had been a big fiasco. He had insisted on Jumin taking it with him after the party, only to get chided on how MC loves cats and it had been an idea of a middle ground for them. MC gets to have a cat, and one that doesn’t trigger his allergy. Zen had raised his voice reminding them that it’s not just his allergy, but that he was traumatized, by Elizabeth the third no less!

Though it did warm his heart to see MC hold the tiny thing so close to her chest.

Which was why he now found himself staring at the creature from across his living room. It had followed MC to the door when she left to have coffee with Jaehee, and now meowed in his tiny voice pleading for her to come back. He had to agree with it, her, he would very much it if his darling MC came home to save him.

MC had left it to Zen to name her. But he had no idea what to do with a cat, let alone how to name her.

Sure he had calmed down and was no longer sneezing up a storm once he realized the air was not trying to kill him around it. But any time she had snuck up on Zen, the surprisingly meow in his ear as she chased his ponytail would cause a tiny relapse that made him feel like he was going insane.

He closed his bedroom door leaving it out there to cry while he took a nap. From the party and working out he found his body feeling heavier than normal, a small nap before rehearsing that night wouldn’t kill him.

When he woke there were a few things he was aware of. A warmth that was pressed against his side, and that his door was creaking in the current of the fan. Carefully Zen moved to find the kitten curled up tightly against him, having pushed her way into the bedroom. He moved to push her away, but during the shifting movement of the blanket he watched as the kitten mewed at him while stretching and yawning, showing off her tiny teeth. MC had left the kitten in the sweater with Zen’s face on it. Apparently it was best to get her used to it so they could keep her warm in the winter.

Seeing his face staring back at him from this tiny kitten as if she were a fan had him chuckling. She would probably get her own wardrobe. “Hey, little miss, you wanna go watch some musicals with me?” He carefully scooped her up, holding still waiting for the pain and sneezing. Instead he felt a calmness with how she complained briefly before getting more comfortable against his chest.

Hi omfg!!! In 7x16 Ali told Em she loved her (iconic) and then in 7x17 she told her again on the phone because she was away. Is there any chance in heck you could write something (even a one shot) about Ali coming home in 7x18?! I just want to hear your thoughts on them reuniting... because they're so new would it be timid and shy, or would it be a cantstopkissingyou type of welcome? the more fluff the bettttttter😋😎 thanks in advance!!!!!

I love this! Here you go!

15 more minutes. She just had to wait for 15 more minutes. Emily waited 10 years for her so 15 minutes was nothing right? Except, this was different. Ali wasn’t her best friend anymore, she was her girlfriend. It was hard to believe honestly that after all of these years, she should finally call Alison, the love of her life, her girlfriend. When the blonde girl told her that she wanted to go on a trip to visit Jason, Emily had been relieved that she would be far away from AD but at the same time she was a little disappointed. This thing between them was so new. She wanted to be with Alison every minute of the day. The other girls had been teasing her relentlessly about that fact but she was so in love that she didn’t even care!

When she received a text a few moments ago saying that Alison was going to arrive in 15 minutes, Emily began to feel nervous. She knew that Ali was her girlfriend but what was the etiquette here? Run to her and kiss her breathless? A sweet hug and an even sweeter kiss? Wait for her in the driveway or in the living room? This was getting out of hands, Emily thought. It was just Ali. She had nothing to be nervous about. She just had to go with the flow. Yeah go with the flow, that was good. She sat in the living room waiting for her girlfriend to come home.

Her little trip had had the perfect effect on Alison. With everything that happened, from Archer to the baby to Emily, she needed a break. So she enjoyed her stay at her brother’s house even if she missed Emily every day. She was currently sitting in her car, driving home and she couldn’t wait to kiss her beautiful girlfriend. Soon enough, she entered her driveway and parked her car next to Emily’s. She took her bag out of the trunk and walked toward the house. Here we go she thought.

When she heard the door open, Emily’s plan to stay cool and go with the flow went out the window. She got up the couch and within seconds she was in front of the door, in front of her girlfriend. Maybe it was because she missed her so damn much but Ali seemed to be even more stunning than when she left. They both stood there, looking at each other with big smile plastered on their faces. “Hi,” breathed Alison.

“Hey.” They looked at each other some more until Emily couldn’t stand it anymore. She walked up to her girlfriend and immediately took her in her arms. She smell like vanilla shampoo and mint. “I missed you so much,” said Emily still hugging the smaller girl.

“I missed you too Em.” Alison slowly pulled back and looked into the brunette’s eyes. She gently cupped her face and brought their lips together. This was the kind of kiss that tasted like lemonade on a friday afternoon in the summer. It felt like staying home and having a movie night, just the two of them. This felt like cuddling on a cold winter morning in front of the fire place. This was sweet, new and comforting. But like I said, the two girls deeply missed each other so the sweet kiss slowly turned into something more. Lips were moving faster, bodies were being pulled closer. This was a different kind of kiss. It was like jumping out of a plane or going to see your favourite band in concert with the person you love. This was intense, full of passion. It was exhilarating.

The girls were getting out of breath so they slowly pulled away from each other, their forehead still touching. “If this is the kind of welcome home party I am getting every time I leave, I will leave more often.”

“Please don’t,” said Emily half-joking, half-pleading.

“Okay then.” Alison closed the distance between them once again to kiss the soft lips of her girlfriend. “Come on, let’s go to bed. I am tired and I want to cuddle with you.”

“Your wish is my command.”

They both went upstairs and changed into their sleeping attire. They were ready to go to sleep when Emily spoke up. “You know, I was actually really nervous about you coming home.”

“Why?” said Alison laughing a little.

“I don’t know. I just didn’t how I was supposed to act.”

“Well you were supposed to act like my girlfriend, duh.”

“Yeah yeah. You think you’re funny don’t you?”

“Only a little.” They paused and fell back into a comfortable silence.

“You know I love you right Em?”

“Yeah I know.” She felt the blonde turning so that she could face her.

“Well, aren’t going to say it back?”

“It back.”

“Okay I get it. Now you think you’re funny,” huffed Alison turning away again. A few minutes passed and Alison thought Emily fell asleep until she heard it.

“I love you too Ali.”

Tada! I really liked your prompt and I thought about it. In my opinion it would really be a mixture of both so there you have it! Hope you enjoyed. Till next time!
