#oh hey im not dead yet surprise
Text
"Nothing's New"
In which your partner is never going to pay attention to you, because they’re too focused on their dead lover
Bell’s notes: “writer bell goes too far with this fic-” im /j no ones gonna say that, angst powers pls work tho, like im asdlkfjawel;fjsd;jf;lska, i cant write dude, let me like, plan this out in my head before writing nonsense, LIKE BRO, feral over angst LORD, 100k likes and you get part 2 /jjjj, growling i love angst, MWHAHAHA, sorry ely, yuka, mhie, snob, and zee if you read this 😔😔😔, i listened to “IT Girl” while writing this 😋, got carried away with Ayato’s part oopsies, i believe Guizhong for the ladies but whatever 😔😔😔, cut out Wanderer & Childe in the end because i’m TIRED, not proofread
Story details: Ayato lowkey a bitch, scratch that highkey, reader has self-doubt, Neuvilette doesn’t mean to be mean he just ISSS, GUIZHONG DID NOTHING STOP MAKING HER THE ONE IN BLAME IN THESE ZHONGLI SCENARIOS, oh and I couldn’t be bothered with Xiao’s part like a quarter through he’s such a flexible yet straight character, it’s the way you can tell when I got lazy with each part, chance Xiao & Zhongli are gonna be ooc as i’ve never written anything but short headcanons for them before
Characters & Triggers: Ayato, Neuvilette, Xiao, & Zhongli; reader has self-doubt, mention of death, mention of martial neglect
Reader details: female reader in Ayato’s part is explicit. female reader in Neuvilette’s part can be interpreted with the way you read it. the other parts, however, shouldn’t have a specified reader type. reader’s personality, race/ethnicity, height, physical descriptions, or anything of the sort is not mentioned. if anything is let me know and i’ll edit it.
Ayato: No surprise the Yashiro Commissioner doesn’t pay attention to his new wife, the one that he didn’t marry first. You knew that he didn’t love you, and most likely never would because you were, in fact, the second pick. Actually, it was probably in the hundreds based on the amount of marriage arrangement offers Ayato had gotten considering he was one of the biggest figures in Inazuma. It didn’t matter, but he most likely picked you because your clan was a small one to put it lightly, so he most likely chose it, and you, because it wouldn’t be a hassle with the press. But of course, he would choose the person and clan that seemed, “easy”. It hurt seeing some of the people’s sympathetic stares, such as Ayaka’s, Thoma’s, and a few of the older women working in the estate. You got used to the lack of greeting from Ayato when he got off work, the lack of warmth beside you at night. You found it hilarious, although you were hysteric at the time as you had just found out that Ayato was off that day and neglected to see you, that he never, ever laid down in the same bed as you. It doesn’t matter no matter how hard you work around the estate, how long you sit up doing his work, which you soon quit once he yelled at you like a homeless dog, or even the distinct flower you made out of one of Ayato’s favorite sweets that he ignored. Not even a glance at your general direction, either. After a while, you decided to do some digging on his past wife, only to find out that she was in fact near perfect. Perfect reputation, perfect everything, to put it shortly. Shortly after asking Ayaka what happened to her, by pulling the sad, guilty wife card, you found out she was a victim of an assassination attempt that turned into a success. Of course, Ayato and his perfect wife would only be torn apart by death. It was poetic, and it made you sick. So what were you to do but endure the slow torture that you and Ayato’s marriage was? After all, nothing you could do could change how he felt about you.
Neuvillette: The famous hydro dragon, at least to those who knew his ‘secret’. His past lover, unfortunately, died before him, no doubt to his immortality. Of course, you would soon die, maybe in a few decades but, hey, it wasn’t like he would miss you. You could only wait awake at night as Neuvillette went to fix himself his own meal, despite you staying up to cook him one and await for his return from work. It’s not that was the only time he never paid attention to you, after all the man had most likely been grieving his wife for centuries at this point in time. So what were you to do besides stay and watch this man be emotionally constipated around you? Why did he even marry you in the first place, then? It couldn’t be because his past wife resembled you, and it certainly wasn’t because you both acted the same. Was it because he needed someone to cling to? I mean, you weren’t exactly someone who seemed to not fit the criteria of a compassionate co-worker who would comfort Neuvillette in his times of distress. Did Neuvilette only come to you because you were his way of grieving? It would make partial sense, to cling to the nearest piece of comfort to help with the pain of loss. It made you feel like nothing but an object meant for his emotional wants, but in reality, that’s all you ever are and will ever be to him.
Xiao: The famous adeptus long ago, had someone close to him. Shame they fell to waste during the archon wars, along with the other adepti. It was no surprise that everyone familiar with Liyue stories knew about the two of them together, which unfortunately included you. It didn’t pain you that much until your oh-so-loveable boyfriend got distracted by two kids playing with a Xiao lantern and one of her. After that, it only devolved into more. The lack of visits to your room in the inn, the lack of responses whenever you left your little notes for him near your meet-up place, and the extreme lack of thank-you-notes whenever you left Xiao almond tofu. It didn’t matter that you started to skip and completely ignore doing all of these things just to see if he would notice because the adeptus failed to appear in your room just to check in to see if you were okay. This behavior was unlike him, at least in the sense of him completely ignoring you. The only answer you could think of, that logically made sense, of course, was that he was reminded of his past loved one because of the run-in with the lanterns you two had while out in Liyue. So in terms, he seemed to disconnect with you because of the memories of his past significant other? You knew the adepti didn’t die peacefully, you could tell that much from the stories, so it wouldn’t be surprising if that also applied to Xiao’s past lover. There was nothing you could do about it though, because if you knew Xiao, he wouldn’t talk about her to you nor push her aside for you.
Zhongli: Guizhong. Of course, you were familiar with the name, everyone in Liyue was. Everyone might be a stretch considering the visitors and children, but the point’s been made. Morax and Guizhong were close. Close in a sense of possibly having relationship affairs but that was only explicit to you because of the way your lover would glace at glaze lilies. You couldn’t call him your lover, could you? Not with the way he would hum to the glaze lilies, the way his eyes would also drift away from you whenever you talked as you took strolls through Guilu Plains, and the way he would opt to tell stories of specific tales of his time as Morax, ones that included Guizhong in some way. It got to the point where you had to make up tasks that you had to do daily just to get away from the walks you two took, not to hear the different-yet-similar stories of Morax and totally not Guizhong. It was childish of you to be doing so, you had yourself convinced, as you couldn’t blame Guizhong for any of it. She had no part of this besides well, besides being your number one stressor for the past few weeks. It was tiring yet somehow for the sake of not wanting a glare or side-eye from Zhongli about his stories, which you never thought you’d get that tired of hearing, you kept your mouth shut, despite how hard it was. You knew it would only take so much more, though, before you said something about it.

Joey B Imagines: Who’s That Girl With Him?
————————————————————————-
summary: when you find out that joe might not be where he told you he was going, you and your best friend drive around cincinnati in hopes of finding out the truth.
warnings: none, angst, cussing
pairing: joe burrow x reader
imagine universe: into the mystic
————————————————————————-
(y/n’s pov)
"hey baby, i'm gonna go workout with ja'marr okay? i love you." - joe whispered and kissed your cheek
before i could even ask any follow up questions, joe had left the room.
when i opened my eyes the clock said 8:30. the twins hadn't waken up yet so i went back to bed.
it was a few hours later when i did wake up. it was to the doorbell ringing.
i was decent enough so i just walked straight downstairs.
when i opened the door it was alexa.
"girl, why are you here?" - you
"felt like coming over. why do you look you just rolled outta bed?" - alexa
"because i did." - you
"really? i'm surprised you aren't on your third round of the morning with joe yet." - alexa walked in the house
"alexa! you’re disgusting! i just gave birth four weeks ago, and joe’s not even here!" - you
"what why?" - alexa followed you upstairs
"he's working out with ja'marr?" - you
"ja'marr's home.." - alexa
"wait what?" - you
we had just walked upstairs and i stopped dead in my tracks, turning and facing alexa.
"are you sure that's what he told you?" - alexa
"yes! he told me this morning he was going out with ja'marr." - you
"uhm…" - alexa
"where is he?! oh my god, where is joe?" - you started panicking
"y/n calm down, i'm sure he's fine!" - alexa
"who's he with?! alexa why did he lie?" - you
"he's probably at the facility y/n, maybe he was supposed to workout with ja'marr but then j canceled.." - alexa
"we're gonna go find him." - you
"what do you mean??" - alexa
"we are gonna go driving around cincinnati until we find him." - you
"don't you guys have a tracker on each other? just check that." - alexa
i pulled the app up and it said joe had his location off.
"his- his locations off.." - you
"okay now i'm mad, we’re gonna go find him. i’m gonna call gracie and evan to come watch your twins." - alexa
"okay, i'm gonna hurry up and get ready.." - you
i threw some clothes on before brushing my teeth and hair.
only one of the twins was awake so i was feeding tyson while alexa and i sat on the couch waiting for gracie and evan.
"what do you think he's doing?" - you
"joe’s not a bad person. i don't think he's doing anything you wouldn't agree with." - alexa
"but why wouldn't he tell me the truth about where he was?" - you
"have you tried calling or texting?" - alexa
"no.." - you
"when did he tell you he was gonna leave to work out?" - alexa
"he told me this morning at 8:30." - you
"well it's 11.." - alexa
"i know, im freaking out alexa. what if he's cheating on me?" - you
"y/n.. calm down. call him." - alexa
i sat tyson's bottle down before pulling my phone out of my pocket and clicking the call button on joe’s contact.
it only rang twice and said the call was declined.
joey❤️ - busy rn
"alexa, im really nervous." - you
no knock or doorbell ring, just gracie barging in with evan following.
"hand the baby over, go find him." - gracie
i jumped up and handed tyson over to gracie.
"thank you guys so much." - you
"you're welcome, and y/n you should calm down a little, you know joe. he wouldn't do anything to harm you." - evan
i nodded before alexa pushed me out the door.
we hopped in her car and went straight to the facility first.
zac was standing at the front desk talking to the receptionist.
"zac? is joe here?" - you
"oh, hey kid! no joe hasn't been here at all today, why?" - zac
"nothing important. thank you for your help. see ya taylor!!" - you
"bye y/n!" - zac called out as you ran back outside
i sat back down in the passenger seat and alexa drove off.
"he hasn't been to the facility at all today, zac said." - you
"okay, text every player joe is close to and ask if he's with them." - alexa
i did exactly what she said. texted sam hubbard, tee higgins, tyler boyd.. literally half the roster.
all of them said no.
"alexa i'm gonna throw up, i think he's cheating on me." - you
"girl, you don't know that." - alexa
we drove around cincinnati for literally an hour, going to all of joes favorite restaurants and places.
i even tried checking his tagged posts on instagram, hoping that maybe a fan met him and posted it. maybe giving me a location hint but there was no new pictures.
"let's get some lunch, i dont’t think we’re gonna find him." - alexa
"i can't even think about eating." - you
"you don't have to okay, but i'm hungry and there's this really good açaí bowl cafe place around here." - alexa
i rolled my eyes as alexa put the cafe in the gps.
on our ten minute drive to the place my mind started to wander to the worst possible outcomes.
is joe cheating on me? is the life we built together gonna be thrown away and be discarded? i can't live without him.
we had arrived to alexa's place of choice and the inside was actually really cute.
it was a corner cafe with windows looking out onto the busy city street.
"i'll have the açaí bowl and a sweat tea." - alexa
"okay.. anything for you?" - waiter
"oh.. no thank you." - you
"are you sure?" - waiter
"yes." - you
"okay suit yourself." - waiter
the waiter walked away and alexa started a conversation, but i wasn't engaged in it.
i just stared out the windows at the people walking past.
there was this really tall guy and shorter girl with blonde hair, they both had coffee in their hands.
they were smiling at something on the girls phone and when the guy lifted his head my heart stopped.
it was joe.
"alexa! look outside right now! it's joe!" - you
alexa's neck popped because of how fast she whipped her head around.
"who's that girl he's with? do you know her? she doesn’t look familiar." - alexa
"no.." - your heart shattered
"we're leaving right now, i'm gonna beat the shit out of him." - alexa
joe and the girl continued walking down the street.
"no don't, can we follow them? i want to know what they are doing." - you
(joes pov)
"okay i know you said that the first house i showed you was perfect but here's another one.." - evelyn showed joe a house on her phone
"oh that's gorgeous, my wife y/n would love that." - joe smiled
"your wife has excellent taste mr. burrow." - evelyn
"yes, excellent and expensive." - joe laughed
"oh she's a girl, expensive is what we like!" - evelyn laughed
"i better get home to her before she gets nervous about where i am." - joe
"that's another common girl trait!" - evelyn laughed
"here i'll walk you to your car, downtown cincinnati is sketchy to walk around alone." - joe
"you bought me coffee and are walking to my car? they don't make gentleman like you that much anymore. your y/n is very lucky." - evelyn
we started waking down the sidewalk again and i realized we had passed a cafe that y/n had always wanted to go to. i made a mental note to take her to a breakfast date there.
(y/n's pov)
alexa and i were following joe and the girl down the sidewalk a long ways behind them.
they weren't really talking or anything, just walking and sipping their coffee.
we followed them all the way to a parking garage and the girl unlocked her car.
her and joe had a brief hug before sharing a few words and then she got in her car.
joe than walked further down the lot to his porche and alexa and i ran off to where we had parked her car before going to the cafe a few levels up.
(joes pov)
i walked evelyn to her car and before she opened her door we shared a brief hug.
"okay so which house do you think you’re going with?" - evelyn
"i think number one.." - joe grinned
"i'm sure your wife will love it! i'm gonna go out on a limb and guess you won’t need time to get a loan?" - evelyn
"no, i can go ahead and make a down payment if that’s okay?" - joe
"that’s great. the next time i see you will be the official tour of the house so y/n and your kids can see it. that's also the day you'll walk away with the keys!" - evelyn
"i'm so excited, thank you so much." - joe
"oh it's just my job as a realtor, no need to thank me." - evelyn
"i'm glad i chose you as our realtor, i think you have similar taste to y/n so it makes it easier for me." - joe chuckled
"yeah, i'm excited to meet her. bye." - evelyn
"bye!" - joe
(y/n's pov)
we were a couple cars behind joe but we quickly realized he was just going back home.
alexa had to stop for gas, so here we were alexa was out of the car pumping gas as i was sitting in the car sobbing.
joe was with another woman, and lied about where he was at. he's a fucking cheater.
when we got home i jumped out of the car and ran in the house.
joe was in the kitchen talking to evan who was sitting at the bar.
gracie was sitting on the couch, no babies in sight.
"hey baby, where'd you go?" - joe
i looked at him for a second and something in me snapped.
i started running towards joe.
"don't!-" - gracie
i grabbed the iced coffee out of his hand, taking the lid off and throwing it in his face.
"what the fuck?!" - joe
"y/n-" - evan
joe wiped the coffee out of his eyes before looking at me with the most confused look on his face.
"don't look so confused joe! you're cheating on me!" - you
"what?! no i'm not!" - joe
"don't lie! alexa and i just saw you with a girl. you guys got coffee, you walked her to her car, you guys hugged!" - you started crying
"y/n it wasn't what it looked like!" - joe
"than what was it joe?!" - you
joe opened his mouth but i cut him off before he could make a sound.
"you know what, i don't want to know. i thought you were my soulmate joe! we have kids together! what was i to you?!" - you
"y/n listen.." - joe
"no, i’m not going to listen! i'm done joe, im leaving you! we are over!” - you
"she was my realtor y/n! i just put a down payment on a fucking house for us!" - joe
"oh damn." - alexa
"wait what.. you're not cheating on me?" - you
"no! why would i ever do that?" - joe
"wait you bought a house?!" - you
"yes. for the love of god i didn't cheat on you, id never do that. she was helping me with picking a house because i wanted to surprise you" - joe sighed
"oh my god.. i'm so sorry.." - you
"it- it's whatever.." - joe
"i threw coffee all over you.." - you
"i'm gonna go change.." - joe
he pushed past me and walked up the stairs.
"i tried to tell you.." - gracie
"i feel like shit. i can't believe i did that. or even thought joe would cheat on me." - you
"its okay y/n. i don't really think joes upset with you." - evan
"i threw coffee in his face." - you shook your head, not able to believe you just did that
"you should go talk to him privately.." - alexa
i nodded and walked upstairs, joe was in our bedroom slipping a new shirt on.
"joe.." - you
"mhm?" - joe
"im so so sorry. i can't believe i thought you'd do such a thing." - you
"it's alright. i understand why you thought that, i know it looked pretty sketch from your pov." - joe
"i overreacted big time." - you
"nah you're all good. do you want to see the house?" - joe smiled
"yes!" - you
joe pulled out his phone and sat down on the bed, patting the spot next to him signaling for me to sit there.
i did and he started showing me pictures of the house, it was absolutely beautiful.
"joe, it's huge.." - you
"i know, we have a big family and a growing family of our own so we'll need the room." - joe
"is that you trying to tell me you want another baby?" - you
"i don't know, maybe. not right now, but definitely soon." - joe
"we'll see." - you
"okay." - joe smiled
"baby listen, i'm actually so sorry about everything. i promise i'll never throw coffee in your face again." - you
"you're fine y/n, but i do appreciate that promise." - joe chuckled
"i love you, more than anything." - you
"i love you too. i hope we fill all 5 rooms of that house with babies." - joe
"slow down there babe. i just had twins less than two months ago." - you
"i'm just kidding... maybe." - joe
"oh what am i gonna do with you?" - you
"i have an idea." - joe smirked
he tossed his phone on the bed behind us and leaned forward, placing his lips on mine.
he pulled me closer and closer until i was sitting in his lap and the kiss was more intimate.
we still haven't gone farther than making out, or me helping joe because i'm still fragile from giving birth not to long ago.
but nothing is better than kissing joe, it felt like fireworks going off throughout your body.
————————————————————————-
authors note: some angst for your sunday 🤍
hope you enjoyed! ❤️

「ʜᴏᴍᴇ」
Scenario:- Chuuya helps the reader through a tough night.
Pairings:- chuuya x gn!reader (highschool au)
Genre:- comfort?
Type:- oneshot
A/N:- HEY THEREEE!okay yes ive been pretty dead on here but I promise that’s only because of school! Hope this piece isnt cringey and see yall soon!🥲
“Help”
Was all he got
11.52
Eight minutes to midnight.
And he gets this?
A cryptic ominous and yet terrifying message from his beloved.
He contemplates what he should do.Does he let you sleep it off or does he go to you?
He decides it’s too risky to let the former happen so he settles on the latter. He goes to you. He goes to you in the dead of night.
Chuuya Nakahara was by no means a stranger to the rather tricky art of climbing into someone’s room via their window,but when in haste anyone would mess up.
Nevertheless he climbed up,landed on your balcony and knocked three times.paused and then knocked twice.it was the little indicator the two of you had decided on to make sure you knew it was him and not some stranger.
He could see you from his place on the balcony.
you were bent over your phone,typing furiously,your feet crossed and on your bed.
You didnt hear him.
So he shoots you a text,
surely you’ll see it?
A simple
“Im here”
Your head shoots up and you dart to your window,pulling the almost transparent curtains back,you open the window-esque door and he steps right in. Sure he wasnt the biggest guy,but he was nimble and quick oh his feet.packing a punch capable of knocking out someone twice,no, thrice! His size. with an attitude that scared off bullies and a sense of charisma that could charm anyone,he was perfect.
But most importantly,he made you feel safe.
at home.
Something even your own house failed to do.
He opens his arms and you slowly walk into them,your hands wrapping themselves around his slender torso and holding onto him with a death grip.
As he began to rub your back and sway just a little you began to cry.
Tears streamed down your face and stained his hoodie but he didnt care. His shirt could be washed,cleaned or even replaced.But not you. Never you.
And when the sniffling crying and shaking lessened,he pulled away a little and looked at your face before slowly lowering both you and himself to the fuzzy blue carpet under your feet.
When he looked at your face he was met with puffy eyes a leaky nose and a sight which broke his heart.
He first felt anger then fear then concern as he tried to figure out what to do.
He wanted to end whoever did this but he needed you to be okay first.
For a senior in high school,he acted more like an adult than anyone you knew;other than your classmate kunikida,that is.
He took the end of his hoodie sleeve,made a little sweater paw and wiped your tears away,reaching into his pocket and pulling out his emergency tissues for your nose.
And as he was finishing up, he looked at you,with the softest gentlest look in his eyes,asking, “what happened y/n?”
You sighed heavily at that.
“I wanna go home…”
This statement took him by surprise!
But You were already in your home? Where else could there be?
If you could name a place,he made an internal decision to take you there where ever it may be,right then and there.
He could deal with your parents later,they both loved and trusted him like their own so it’d be a breeze.just as long as you were okay.
“But how-“
“You”
“Oh”
You held him closer at that,as if you believed he would simply vanish into thin air.
He too held you close,giving you a kiss on the forehead and urging you to go ahead and talk about it if you wished to.
“Its just that,im sick of everything…of home of school,of life,of needing to be happy! I dont want it anymore!i want peace i want calm I want home. Youre all I have only you and what if you get tired of me i wont have a home again.ill be alone alone alone alone alone alone alo-“
He listened to you with concern and then his hands went to your shoulders.
“Hey! Hey! Im not going anywhere and youre not going to be alone not on my watch!and definitely not off my watch!”
You sniffed at that.
“Promise?” “Please?”
And his only reply was to nod,the sincerest nod in existence.
“Thank you….”
You said as you brought your head back to his chest.
“Anytime love…do you wanna talk about it?”
“No….not right now….please ?”
“Sure,im here for whenever you need me.what can i do?”
“Please stay…i cant be-be alone….please?”
“Mhmm dont worry…m’not goin anywhere..”
“Thank you…”
“Always”
And so you sat there,just the two of you in a dark room past midnight.
He rocked you,hummming softly and when he realized you’d fallen asleep,he lay you down gently on your bed and places your blanket and favorite plushy over and beside you.
Be waits thirty minutes more and when he’s totally sure you’re out like a light,he leaves.
When you wake up you vaguely remember the previous nights proceedings and when he asks you if you’re okay,you nod rather embarrassed. He looks at you and gives you a quick peck before you both go hand in hand to your next class.
(He lets you hold his hand during class if you need it too❤️)

ayyy im back with another Unedited human au snippet <3 it's almost entirely dialogue oopsies <3
~
Eddie slows in putting his coat on - Barnaby isn’t sticking around to chat with fellow staff like usual. He’s in a rush, scrambling to grab his jacket and hurrying from behind the bar. He dashes through the door, looking like a man on a mission.
The door Mr. Frankly had just vanished through.
Could he be…? No, Barnaby seems like a good man. But he had seemed a little pushy with Mr. Frankly, from what Eddie could tell.
It couldn’t hurt to make sure.
Eddie frowns deeply as he goes outside, wincing slightly at the first burst of cold air after hours spent in a warm building. He’s just in time to see Barnaby jog up behind Frankly and close his car door before he can get in. Barnaby immediately leans against the door with his arms crossed, pinning it shut and blocking Frankly from the driver’s seat.
Eddie’s stomach plummets. Before he knows it, he’s speed-walking across the parking lot towards them, a fire burning in his chest and his hands curled into fists.
Frankly says something loud enough that Eddie can almost hear, his voice echoing in the empty lot. As Eddie watches, Barnaby pokes Frankly’s chest, making him stagger back a step.
“Hey!” Eddie barks.
Both of them jump and whip around - Barnaby’s eyebrows shoot into his hair, while Frankly’s lowers into a flat line.
“Eddie?” Barnaby says.
At the same time, Frankly says, “Mr. Dear?”
The two of them look at each other in surprise. Eddie pays the exchange no mind. He stops by Frankly, trying to slightly angle himself in front of him without making it too obvious.
“Is everything all right here?” he asks, looking Barnaby up and down. He really hopes this won’t come to blows - Eddie can throw a punch well enough, but Barnaby is an imposing figure. Eddie already knows he’d likely lose, but as long as he can buy Frankly a couple extra seconds…
“No, actually, everything is not fine,” Frankly says in a ticked-off - and strangely scolding - tone.
Barnaby, not breaking eye-contact with Frankly, counters with, “Everything’s peachy, Ed.”
“You sure about that?” Eddie asks, trying to keep his tone amicable.
“Scout’s honor.”
“Please,” Frankly scoffs, “you were never a boy scout. And that’s not the point - I am trying to get home!”
“You are trying to die in the most avoidable way possible.”
Eddie shoots Frankly a concerned look. “You’re what?”
“I am perfectly sober,” Frankly says.
Barnaby raises an unimpressed eyebrow. “Your face is flushed.”
“It is not!”
Eddie winces. “It, uh, it is. A little.”
“It’s none of your business,” Frankly seethes.
“Listen,” Barnaby sighs. He leans heavier against the car and rubs the back of his neck. “I don’t wanna be the one 'ta call Julie and deliver the news that her beloved Frankie went and got himself killed at the taco bell intersection.”
Frankly makes a high and derisive noise. “Excuse you, I have class. I’d die outside of Howdy’s.”
“Please, he’d turn your memorial into part of the gift shop. I can already see the signs - ‘dead friend sale, five percent off!’”
“I’m worth at least thirty percent.”
Eddie clears his throat and gestures between the two of them. “You two… know each other?”
“Unfortunately,” Frankly mutters.
Barnaby grins. “Aw, you’re just saying that. It’s okay - I know ya love me, Frankie. You don’t have to say it.”
“I do not.”
“I have evidence that proves otherwise.”
Frankly rolls his eyes. “You’re unbearable.”
“And yet…”
Eddie heaves a sigh - of relief or exhaustion, he’s not sure - and drags a hand over his face. “Alright. Good, I - good to know.”
“What, did’ja think I was attacking him?” After a moment of prolonged, awkward silence, Barnaby’s teasing smile drops. “Oh. You did.”
“Barnaby? Attack me?” Frankly snorts. “Give him some credit - he’s smarter than he looks.”
“Yeah, I’d have better chances taking on a pack’a hyenas!” Barnaby lets out a hearty cackle. “At least then we’d all get a laugh out of it!”
“So I misjudged the situation pretty terribly,” Eddie says, inching to the side to give Frankly his personal space back. “My apologies.”
“Don’t sweat it, Ed. I know Frank may look like a bundle of sticks, but he’s petrified wood all the way through! Pure stone, you know.” Barnaby grins and leans towards Eddie. He whispers conspiratorially, “‘Cept when it comes to holdin’ his liquor. Then he’s a total lightweight.”
“Barnaby,” Frankly hisses.
“Practically paper!”
“That’s enough, thank you!” Frankly makes an attempt at shoving Barnaby away from the car door, but Barnaby widens his stance. It’s like watching someone try to move a tree.
“See, this is how I know he shouldn’t be driving,” Barnaby says conversationally to Eddie. “If he were sober, I’d be the one drunk - punch-drunk, that is.”
Eddie isn’t sure whether or not he should laugh - was that a joke? Barnaby seems fond of them, but… surely Frankly isn’t a violent person. Frankly lets out a growl of frustration and clumsily tries to bodyslam Barnaby. Eddie inches back a step.
“Alright Frankie, you had your fun.” Barnaby scruffs Frankly like a misbehaving cat and holds him at arm's length. He holds out a hand. “C’mon. Keys.”
“Never.”
“Have it your way. I’ll go ahead and call Poppy, tell her that you’ve forgotten the many dangers of-”
“Oh, fine,” Frankly spits. He yanks his keys out of his pocket and slaps them into Barnaby’s waiting hand.
Barnaby flicks the keys as Frankly stalks to the passenger side door and yanks it open. “Choose a place for dinner, we’ll swing by and pick it up - my treat.”
“Obviously your treat,” Frankly grumbles. “As if I’d-”
The slam of his door cuts off whatever he says next, though Eddie can see him still talking in the car. His phone screen illuminates his irritated expression as he - presumably - looks up places for takeout.
“Well, I’m glad you were here to stop him from doin’ somethin’ everyone would regret,” Eddie says. “Mr. Frankly-”
“Mr. Frankly?” Barnaby snorts. “You’re not one of his students, are ya?”
“I’m just bein’ polite. He set the tone by referrin’ to me by Mr. Dear, so I’m tryin’ to respect that line in the sand.”
Barnaby shakes his head, grinning. “Just call him Frank. He puts up a big show of bein' a grouch, but he’s really a big softie. Though don’t - don’t try to pick a fight with him. Ever. You’ll lose.”
“Wasn’t plannin' on it.” Eddie makes a mental note to keep calling him Mr. Frankly, just to be on the safe side. It’s not like they’re friends, anyway. More like… acquaintances. Occasional Run-Into-Each-Other strangers.
#shorter than usual - only a little over 1k - but yk the motivation provides what it provides#in my docs this is titled 'aw... babe's first protective attempt'#or i guess we could call it#eddie's past parasocial relationships come back to haunt him more than they already have#also barnaby definitely teased frank about eddie in whatever place they're picking up food from#lmaoooo no wait#barnaby: so about eddie-#frank: so about howdy.#barnaby: .....#frank: .....#barnaby: hey i think that's our order#wh modern human au#snippets from the bog#in my mind frank is actually kinda pleased#annoyed of course. he doesnt need anyone to protect him#but i bet a part of him enjoyed having the strong mailman attempt to ~come to his rescue~#i imagine that the next time they see each other frank invites him to lunch or somethin#'just' to 'thank' eddie for trying his best#yep alright yawn yawn yawn its almost 3 i should sleep#tomorrow is one of two final days to complete packing! its almost Time!#tonight was decent... got some tasty tacos... listened to somethin neat... did a bit of writing... yeah <3

Did you even care? ooc T.M.R x Fem!reader.
-summary - it was him who ended it with you but he cant get enough?Will he be able to mend the mess he made?Or is there no end to this?
-genre - angst
Warnings: No warnings (abit of harsh language but It'll be fine)
A/n : I had fun writing this and finally finished it after months of writers block 😮💨
(edited: I read this again , and I realised how corny this fic is 😭 edited some parts..maybe a whole lot , but hey atleast its not that corny..also proofread , and realised how many grammar mistakes and spelling errors there were) guys I do not know how much I edited this. I hated the way I wrote it. Changed some of the words and vibes. Proofread again because the last time was still bad. #helpme😔
proofread and edited- /Gif isn't mine/
_________________________________
you were having a heated argument with Tom again for the third time this week.
All the arguments for the past days have been on petty and stupid reasons.
One was because you forgot his prefect badge that he had asked you to bring to him when it was breakfast.
you were half asleep that time, so of course you had forgotten.
The second was because of a petty argument over some book.
and now this? because you had stayed in his room to wait for him?
Your Pov :
This is getting out of hand , why was he this mad? you already told him you were gonna be up here.
"get out y/n" Tom frustratedly ran his hand through his hair.
"what? I just dont understand, I already asked you if I could stay here so why are you so ma-"
"Get out of here y/n. Before I call salazar himself to escort you out." tom raised his voice with a cold tone.. narrowing his eyes in annoyance.
"fine." you say rolling your eyes at how childish he is being. Before leaving he tugged at the side of your robe.
"and to just inform you, whatever we have going on is done."
you stopped. Turning around to face him.
"what?"
"yes. you were simply just an experiment" he looked at you with a dead expression with his voice becoming flat.
you looked at him, tilting your head to the side, slightly confused.
"Have you ever cared?" you managed to say with a confused yet anguished look spread across your face.
"not one bit" he smugly smirked, his indifferent and apathetic behaviour did nothing but disappoint you further.
"i was seeing how people would react to what some call 'affection' and seeing how easy you get manipulated and how you obeyed me so much has made me realise love makes people weak and i dont have the time to feel weak"
you stared at him with a disgusted look, more disappointed than heartbroken. It felt like an insult that he managed to make you feel this way.
"Oh? really?..Well I hope you find peace in this.. honestly, Im not even surprised..just disappointed.. "
you said, clenching your jaw slightly..leaving the room.
Why have I trusted him? Knowing how he was, how he always has been. Have I been that naive to think that he could ever feel any other emotions other than hatred and anger?
_____________________________
Tom riddle's Pov:
I have now gotten rid of the pesky girl and now my life shall be at peace, finally. She can't even do simple tasks without messing up. What have I got to lose. She's nothing but a toy, a pawn.
She was useful then. I didn't need her to be a pest over my projects now.
______________________________☕
He hadn't even realized he fell asleep..he was just getting up from bed and had started getting ready for the day.
"hey y/n have you seen my tie?"
Silence
"y/n?"
his head suddenly rings and reminds him that he had been done with you..
a small o escaped his lips before he brushed it off.
How stupid of him to not remember such simple things..It was crazy to even think about it..really
____________________________☕
He sat at his usual spot with his so-called friends. but he felt a bit off..is that what to call it? perhaps not..
His eyebrows furrowed but brushed it off again, as usual.
"hmm..Riddle?"
Abraxas started, the look on his face completely spitting confusion..
"Where's your girlfriend?, is she sick? or unwell?"
What? why was Malfoy out of all people be worried about you? he has no right to be worried about you.
"for your information Malfoy, we are not together and never was"
Lestrange looked at him with an amused gaze, surprised that his friend would even have said that. He was clearly skeptical of his friends words.
"What do you mean by 'not together' Tom?"
He rolled his eyes, annoyed at how reluctant they were being in this foolish situation.
"She was just an experiment and was just a distraction to me, so i ended it. She was a good investment. And now I believe she has no use for me anymore."
"She? you mean..." Lestrange started, with a raised concerned eyebrow. "Y/n Y/l/n.. was nothing but an experiment?.."
"Yes. how many times do I have to repeat myself to you imbeciles?"
The two shared a look and their eyes turned to the lad once again.
"Riddle. Are you sure?" Avery said in a confused yet assertive tone.
"This may sound a bit.." He paused, letting the silence take over.
"Mushy and Lovey is what he meant. That's not the point here..We've seen the way you talk to her...moreover talk about her with us.."
Abraxas continued, now an apple in his hand..
"It's the way she has turned you soft , Riddle..no offense in any way shape or form."
He glared at them, not wanting to hear any of their nonsense that they were spitting out of their mouths. They knew nothing about you two.
"I'm not soft."
He started, his voice cracking making him cough.
"Sure.. believe what you want to believe mate."
______________________________☕
He was walking in the field after class to get his mind clear. When he saw a dandelion, he remembered how much you loved the flower. It was her favorite, he knew. Without even thinking, he plucked it out..planning to give it to her later in the day.
Some time later..He was heading back to his dorm, passing the common room. The flower still in his hand between his fingers.
"Did you get another girlfriend?" Avery asked, with a raised eyebrow.. teasing him?
"No? I was planning on giving it to-" He stopped himself. Pausing for a moment. Abraxad snorted, trying to keep in his laugh.
"See? smitten "
"Shove off Malfoy."
____________
a few weeks later
Wasn't this what he wanted?
peace and quiet? No one to worry about. No one to think about. No burden he had to keep.
he jumped on his bed and searched for warmth but there wasnt any..
he was confused..more irritated, his temper shortened..even if that was possible. And he didnt know why. He hasn't felt this way for months now, and it has now turned up again..somehow.
___________________________☕
It has been quite awhile since he had let go of her..
and now he's seeing her with someone else..does he really have the right to feel like this? no. Does he care? definitely.
Whenever he sees her with that boy..he couldn't help but feel a longing and pining emotion..he doesn't even know where he learnt to feel like this.
He somehow wonders how she's feeling..does she think about me alot? has she taken care of herself lately? Does she also feel this way?..
At some days..he sees y/n walking around the castle..smiling and laughing with her friends..oh how I missed her laugh , her voice..
"Tom are you sure you're okay? your studies have dropped and you seem to be declining"
His daze was interrupted by the voice of his friend. He met their gazes with a flat expression.
"What do you want?"
"We're just asking about you."
He furrowed his brows, confusion laid in his eyes.
"If it's about her. You should see and talk to her."
Avery said in an almost stern way before sighing.
They stayed silent for a minute.
"Why?"
"Why what? Riddle? look at yourself..god, what has happened to you?"
Abraxas said almost laughing at his friend's obliviousness.
"Go talk to her. Maybe not now but there has to be closure to this.. whatever crisis you're in."
_____________________________☕
He was now in his bed at three in the morning. It was now a habit for him to think about the 'what ifs' about you two.
he asked himself every day,
was it worth it?
is it worth it?
what can he do to fix this?
what if he never ended things with you? Were you ever heartbroken by this? What if he had just communicated with you? What if he never lashed out on you? What if he just wasn't a child made out of fake and unrequited love?
Can he ever know?
____________________________☕
morning has come and he was trying, yes trying to find a good way to talk to you or just have a small interaction with you.
and he is now again with his friends in his room pacing.
"what are you doing Riddle?" abraxas asked. Clearly annoyed at how Tom had woken them up at dawn, hours before classes started.
"He's obviously going through a mental breakdown internally."
He rolled his eyes at avery's joke yet not really taking it into heart.
"It would rather be kind of you to stop saying such idiocy to me."
"Just, go talk to her"
no
"pardon?"
"Talk to her"
"How?"
Silence
"You're really asking me that?"
_____________________________☕
your pov🤗:
something hit your shoulder or someone and they dropped something.
oh!
It's a journal.
"hey um you dropped this" not looking at the person who dropped it.
and when you met his eyes, annoyance grew in the pit of your stomach.
oh. it was him, as you tried telling yourself that you didn't care and just act as if nothing has happened between the two of you.
"oh, hello Riddle, fancy seeing you here." you looked at him with a small polite smile. You didn't want to come off as rude, despite what has happened in the past month.
"hello. Thank you for this book, i- uh"
"Well if that is all, I better get going now" you say trying to avoid him and his words.
"wait y/- , y/l/n could we maybe talk?"
this is what you've been avoiding but of course fate had to be like this. With reluctance and hesitation you agreed.
"Sure, be quick. I don't have all the time in my hands."
"Of course, I suggest somewhere more private?"
You nodded with pursed lips, crossing your arms as you followed him to the come and go room or the room of requirements as you liked to call it.
as soon as you get there, a door appears and he holds the door for you.
once you stepped inside the room, you were in awe, the room was beautiful but that was besides the point.
"so?"
"y/n i wanted to speak with you about this for a long time now. That night, the night-"
"tom plea-"
"no. y/n please, listen to me just this once" he says with pleading eyes. He was truly trying to communicate with you. He wanted to apologise for what he had said and done.
you gulped down your pride and nodded, keeping caution.
"my dearest, y/n I wanted to tell you how I never meant for this to happen, maybe you won't ever forgive me. Because my reasons won't ever justify my actions towards you or the things I have said to you that night or week. And I just wanted to let you know I regretted everything. and this doesn't mean you have to forgive me"
"It's funny actually, how I realized I cared about you more than I thought, more than I actually think I can , You know how my all my silly giddy or romantic memories only content of you. like the day when you asked me out to go to hogsmeade with you as a date and I was confused on why , mostly beacause you are the most beautiful girl i have ever laid eyes on. I was even more confused with myself , when I came , but that was the best decision I've ever made. Oh and do you remember last winter? you threw a snowball at me and yelled something abt how i wasnt a good enough thrower to hit you with a snowball"he chuckled at the memories flooding in
you let out a small laugh remembering too
"you remember when we had our first kiss together as boyfriend and girlfriend?" you looked at him wholeheartedly
he smiled and looked down " of course i do , my love' how could I ever forget? that night i completely melted and maybe it was just me but I felt something Ive never felt with anyone else. I missed you and still do , I missed us the most , the little notes , the karaoke nights with only you singing , you dragging me into the rain just to dance in it , the glances we sneak to each other, the peaceful warm nights , you have bewitched my heart and soul, you taught me how to love and care , and mostly how to be loved and cared for , all I am asking is that could we ever go back to what we had?" he finished with tears in his eyes
"tom riddle , I love you with my whole heart , but I cant go back there , those words you said to me that night hurt me , that night where you swore you never cared , I lost a little of myself and you know I cant do this to myself , not after that" you say with teary eyes
he smiled at you , tears falling on his cheeks
"Thank you dear , for your time just know you always and will have a place in my heart , can i have the last kiss before we part ways?"
you smiled and leaned in for the last time ever , the last kiss.
"you too tom"
maybe in another lifetime?

eventually. [ellie williams] 1/5
pairing: ellie/fem!reader
word count: 1.4k
cw: not proofread.
tags: n/a
an: hey.... im new here. practically scarfed down every ellie x reader fic i could find. enjoy, mis amores. no smut yet but it'll happen, so let's keep it 18+ please.
˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥
It’s not particularly unheard of, being able to lie and being able to be good at it.
You’re not sure why or how you managed to avoid the questions about your past, about where you came from. But you know, ever since you got adopted by Dina into this merry band of misfits, that someone has been watching you. More precisely, you know Ellie’s been watching, and waiting, oh-so patiently, to figure you out. It's as unnerving as it is amusing.
Transferring from your hometown’s university to this new one in a new city wasn't even the hardest part. Uprooting your life and leaving everything you had? That was a breeze. A walk in the park, even. Making friends, though? Trusting people enough to let them get close? A toughie. You didn't want to just dump your life story onto these people you didn't know. You cut yourself off everytime you mentioned your parents, smiling tight-lipped and awkward when Dina and Jesse gave you a sympathetic look. Ellie would observe you quietly, her eyebrows furrowed as if trying to solve a puzzle. You try not to think too much about how persistent she is.
(She’ll figure you out. Eventually.)
You give new details every now and then, like how you used to play volleyball, or how you and your ex-girlfriend used to hide in the local mall till way after it closed. It’s nights like that when everyone seems more comfortable, like you're opening up to them, which you are, but not enough to really say they know you well. You try, though. Ellie never stops being observant, especially when you mention your ex, but you try to be forthcoming.
It’s been five or so months since you first arrived in the city, a cozy little collegetown that is every lesbian’s dream. There are cafes on pretty much every street; one in particular is your usual choice. It’s where you go to hide from Dina’s persistent gaze, begging you to go out with them if only for a night. It’s not exactly your vibe, and you tell her as much, but she insists it must be because it’s Ellie’s vibe, too. Dina, more than anyone, likes to say that you and Ellie are the most alike and the most opposite. If Ellie likes a place, you usually do, too. You’ll never be caught dead going somewhere Ellie wouldn’t. But then again, Ellie has a fascination with space, but your special interest is the ocean. Ellie likes 80s jams and you prefer indie. Ellie likes Cat, and you– Well. You don’t.
It’s not anything crazy, really, you just are very indifferent to her. Whether or not you’ll admit to it, Ellie is attractive, objectively speaking. You might have a bit of a crush. Nothing more. Cat is a nice girl, a good artist, and a lovely companion, you’re sure. Seeing them so cozy just leaves a sour taste in your mouth, which is why–
“Yeah, I think I’ll pass.” You mumble, glancing over at Cat who is draped over Ellie’s shoulder. Jesse pauses, following your gaze, and snorts. It’s not a big secret you have an interest in Ellie. You’re human, for fucks sake. So, it’s not a surprise that Jesse and Dina eventually caught on.
“Yeah, well, Dina says you can’t bail this time. Birthday girl privileges and all that.”
You sigh, becoming increasingly annoyed. It’s fair, you know, for Dina to pull the “It’s my birthday!” card. Plus, you have bailed more times than you care to remember, and okay, yeah, maybe it’d be nice to dress up and drink and dance–
“Yeah, whatever. I’ll go.”
Your utter defeat is followed by Jesse cheering, fist pumped into the air. Dina hurries over, her hands full of caffeinated beverages. Ellie looks up from her journal to see what’s going on. You catch her eye, but turn towards Dina before the air gets sucked out of your lungs from looking at her too long.
“She said yes, didn’t she? Oh, thank fucking God, I knew she would!” She squeals, placing down the cups and clapping her hands. She barrels into you soon after, wrapping her arms around your neck, and you wrap one of your own around her waist, steadying her.
“Yeah, yeah,” you smile, your chin tucked over her shoulder, “I’m the best, no doubt.”
She pulls back, and drops a big kiss on your cheek, leaning on you. Ellie watches, entranced seemingly, and eyes your hand that is flush against Dina’s waist. You watch her, a fluttering in your stomach at the interest. She meets your eyes after a moment, raising an eyebrow at you, her cheeks a very pale pink. A small smirk dances on your lips, and you vaguely register that you’re pleased.
That’s new.
After some time, everyone disperses and heads to their own apartments. You and Ellie are actually neighbors, and you are especially relieved that Cat decided to head back to her own home instead of following after Ellie. You both walk towards the building, your hand wrapped around the shoulder strap to your bag, the sun setting behind you both.
“So,” Ellie says, cutting into the silence, looking over at you, “Finally decided to join us, did ya?”
You glance over at her, noticing the amused grin on her lips, the crinkles near her eyes. You huff out a breath, smiling back.
“Well, can’t say no to the birthday girl, can I?”
She hums in agreement, nodding her head. There’s not much you two talk about very frequently; Cat isn’t the biggest fan of letting Ellie out of arm's reach and it’s not like you two are close enough to just hang out by yourselves. You both need that buffer; the excuse of a group setting. Soon, you hope that changes, but can’t realistically see that happening. She clears her throat, suddenly nervous.
“Listen, I told the others, but I thought you should know, too.” She pauses, her pace slowing, and you slow with her. Your eyebrows furrow, and you look at her with concern. She twists her fingers, a nervous habit, and lets out a breath. You follow the motion, then meet her eyes. She offers a small, timid grin.
“I dumped Cat before we all left the cafe.”
You still. It must be true; Ellie and Cat had disappeared right before the group had left the building. You figured, of course, that they must’ve been saying their goodbyes privately, as to not flaunt their love. You nod in realization, tilting your head side to side, trying not to scream “finally!” right in Ellie’s face.
“I’m sorry about that,” you say instead, though you’re not really sorry at all, because Cat was definitely a bit much at times, even without your little crush on Ellie. She shrugs in response, chuckling a little.
“Nothin’ to be sorry about. Figured it was about time.”
Could say that again.
“Yeah, well, I don’t know you all that well,” you say, resuming your walk with her, your eyes moving to look forward instead of at her. “I didn’t wanna overstep. Didn’t seem like you were all that happy half the time, but then again, the fuck do I know?”
Ellie hums again in response, choosing not to say anything as you both start making your way into the apartment complex. You start climbing the stairs, Ellie following close behind, and this is when she decides to speak.
“I get it, but I figured we could change that.” The statement makes you miss a step, because you know, deep down, that getting to know Ellie more is dangerous territory. That it’s everything you want, and probably not the best idea. Ellie is… charming. Enticing. Hot as fuck. Being friends with her would make your feelings more real, and while it makes you sick, it excites you, too.
Ellie’s arms shoot out so she can grab your hips, pulling you back before you eat shit on the stairs. She steps up one, her chest against the back of your shoulder, her fingertips pressing into your skin. You swallow, then let out a harsh breath through your nose, the adrenaline from almost falling and the fact that Ellie is grabbing you so tight and close almost too much to bear.
“You alright?” She murmurs, her voice a gentle rumble. Your ears burn up, and you nod. Ellie’s hands slip away from your hips and you take the last few steps, leaning against the door of your apartment. Ellie follows suit, but stands closer to her own door, right across from yours.
“I’m peachy,” you finally reply, smiling tight lipped. Ellie snorts, nodding.
“I’ll see you at the club, yeah?”
You nod, suddenly dreading it.
“Definitely.”

My quick concept of Tinky collecting the whole Spankoffski set
Pete wakes up in the void. Hm. This is the most awake he’s ever been while having a dream this weird. Holy shit is he lucid dreaming? That’s so fucking cool he’s always wanted to try and do that. Pete does a 360 turn. Still void. Maybe he’s dreaming he’s in space? He did stay up watching Star Trek after all.
Something weird happens. It happens in a big weird string of nonsense. Weird as in Pete is completely alone in space but also is claustrophobicly pressed againt so many different presences but there’s nothing yet there’s something pushing at him but he’s alone but there’s a Something squeezing his very being and now everything is yellow and Pete feels incredibly nauseous. What the fuck. Is he dying in real life or something? On closer examination he felt fine physically, just absolutely fucked up on some other level. And space isn’t meant to be yellow. Right now it’s incredibly yellow. Pete surveys the room. Yep, very yellow. There’s clocks ticking. There are not clocks anywhere, but there’s clocks ticking.
All sorts of clocks too. Pete becomes aware of the rest of his body and suddenly his ears ring and oh fuck it’s loud in here. Now Pete’s noticed the noise it’s so loud he wonders how he ever couldn’t hear it. He puts his hands over his ears and screams. The ticking only gets louder, like it’s coming from his own head. Every sound is overlayed but never drowned out, alarm clocks from bedside tables, electric clocks from office buildings, the ticking of watches, the chimes of old analog clocks in antique shops, a grandfather clock booms and the bells in Big Ben ring.
Something in his head screams at him that he knows what’s going on. Pete doesn’t. -Im going to have the whole set-
Pete can pick out the song is his own clock, the broken clock downstairs in rhe apartment that Ted never explained. -in- Pete is on the floor when the sound suddenly cuts itself off and is replaced with a set of boots coming into view. The ringing in his ears stays.
-my-
Pete looks up at the owner of the boots and -TedRonBugHomelessManPeteWiley- stares back.
-toybox!
The person’s image is refracted in his glasses lenses; a million of the same face. Pete’s head explodes in pain again when they lock eyes, forcing them shut.
There’s a …goat bleating somewhere?
A hand pokes his cheek. Pete warily opens his eyes again and the homeless guy from downtown is sat on the floor in front of him.
Somehow Pete isn’t surprised. The man is weird enough that his half-hysterical mind goes “Yeah! Sure! Of course he’s in clock hell with me! Why not!” The man is smiling in the stupid way he always does, like his completely content with comprehending absolutely nothing around him. Of all the people, Pete thinks. He resigns himself to just going along with whatever bullshit is happening and recounting the whole dream to Ruth and Richie tomorrow in English Lit.
“Hey- man.” Pete chokes on the sentence as if it tasted bad. Pete doesn’t know this guy. The homeless man is looking at him as if he does. Pete doesn’t know this man. Why do you want to call your brother?
The homeless guy (he feels kinda bad now that he never asked the man’s name) (He knows his name) stands up again now satisfied that Pete isn’t dead or something. He wears the same brand of shoes as Ted.
#The idea is that homeless guy Ted is like “oh it’s Pete’s first time in the horrors! Let’s make sure he’s fine”#peter spankoffski#ted spankoffski#spankoffski bros#tinky#tnoy karaxis#time bastard#nightmare time#nightmare time 2#fanfic writing#fanfic

Y/N Voicelines

characters ; Kazuha, Diluc, Childe & Chongyun
notes ; i added some voicelines too LMQO i got too carried away, im cringing
Hello
Oh?... you're curious about who I am? A bit strange... to be certain you had called upon odd metier in your lifetime, so it wasn't all too unpredictable that you would seek to know more about myself and what my intention in this world was. So I've chosen to deliver the response myself. I am a Traveler from another world, like you. but! you aspire to the truth of teyvat while I, L/N, Y/N aim to understand it. So tell me, what have I come here to inquire of from you?
—
Chat: Delays
just how absurd are you? standin' here and accomplishing nothing. I am not going to be responsible for you for falling behind.
—
When Thunder Strikes
Oh my... Pleasant climate it is, I always like to think that if I have to listen to one additional thunderclap, I might get hit by its lightning! Haha, ridiculous. you think I'm that childish? quit it.
—
After The Rain
I'll concede, I am fairly enjoying this ambiance, I enjoy walking alone, and it’s always been uncomplicated going off someplace with no gazes on me.
—
When it Snows
it’s only a few tiny fragments, yet the chill is intense. Ugh, I've always despised it whenever it snows, not to speak of that winter brings the most ominous weather ever.
—
Good Morning
Get up and take hold of the day with all your strength or I might as well end up taking care of you today too.
—
Good Afternoon
Why don't we halt by the inn? You and that small thing flowing beside you are probably drowsy.
—
Good Evening
Another evening has eventually dropped anchor. The only thing that could make this duller is that I got to witness it.
—
Good Night
Haha, you're anxious that I might take the opportunity to kill you while you're napping? that's actually an excellent idea, though I'm quite surprised you're not dead yet, perhaps I should get more rest if I have a strategy at slaughtering you, so don't concern too much about it. I'm not going to do anything harmful tonight, and I guarantee you won't remember it in the dawn. just rest up.
—
About Kaedehara Kazuha
You're talking about the Young Samurai? Seriously? Why would that be something to gloat about, huh? I'm not even really surprised you'd let out this variety of stuff. you've always been quite the gossipy person. all I know is that he's remarkable at making ballads, hm? you wish to know more about him? why don't you ask him yourself? You're so pesky.
—
About Childe
That man is a menace. No, he's the absolute connotation of agony. I loathe his demeanor. Imagine not being competent to use chopsticks. what are you, a juvenile? his name suits him. That man provides me headaches every period we interact. though his combat ability is something that I should be proud of, he is one of a fighter and it's difficult to find someone with that vast skill.
—
About Diluc
did I hear that right? you're asking me about that grumpy man, the one who always looks like he's on the verge of massacring his mates? the grumpy one with the scarred knuckles and that bloody piercing eyes who has never ceased looking ready to kill ever since the day I met him, but hey, he has captivating features if you know what I mean.
—
About Chongyun
That young man who loves to exorcist his nonexistent ghosts? I don't know why but he always seems nervous around me, is there something intimidating about me? What a silly thought, whatever he's adorable enough to calm me down.

Chapter 9 - Please, not another 5 years
The Highwayman Series | Chapter 8 | Chapter 10
BANG
The fire has shot and you whimpered, grasping at Rooster’s shirt as you struggled to gather your breath. Slowly, you unpeeled yourself from his neck and turned. Cain was lying dead on the ground with a clean bullet wound between his eyes. Bradley finally loosens his grip on you, and you sprint to your father, dropping to your knees besides him “hey baby, don’ don’ look at me.” He says, embarrassed for his little girl to see him in such a state. You shake your head and your eyes well up with tears, smiling at him “don’t be silly, daddy. ‘m right here” you comfort, stroking the side of his face then looking to Bob. “We’re gonna have to try find the bullet somehow, gonna have to get him to stick it out” you turn and search for the doctor’s wife, one of the many shallow on lookers who just watched on in horror. “He’s alive! Get ‘im! Get the doctor!” you instructed, and she snapped out of her hypnotic trance and ran back inside to collect her sleeping husband.
A few moments later, a pyjama-clad doctor hurries out to the scene before him: ignoring the dead traveller and going straight to the Sheriff “plugged the wound, aint hit nothin’ serious, just need to dig it out ‘nd stitch ‘im up” Bob explained and the doctor raised his brows in surprise “physician back in Sacramento” Bob says quickly. “Grab a big sheet, a..a bed sheet, or somethin’!” the physician demands and penny rushes outside with her finest table cloth “will this do?” she asked and the doctor nodded “perfect. Go steady with ‘im now, don’t know where that damned bullet is” he said, as the men managed to slide the sheriff’s limp figure onto the cloth and heave him off the ground and into his practise, lying him on the table as all hands busied themselves trying to both help and comfort their beloved town’s protector. “m’kay daddy, just let ‘em do their thing” you tell him, kissing his forehead “I love y’, sweetheart” he smiles and you shake your head “I love ya too, daddy. But don’t say that, don’t say nothin’. You're gonna be damn fine. I know you love my momma but you aint leaving me yet, not like this” you tell him “you're just like her, have her eyes” he says dreamily. “he’s goin’ into shock” Bob says “nothin’ y’can give ‘im?” you ask and the doctor shakes his head “no, ma’am. Nothin’ strong enough within a week’s travels. Bob searched into one of his deep pockets, pulling out a rattling jar of pills. “two o’ these should do the trick” he says and the other two eye him wearily, but with little option, they pop two into the man’s mouth “swallow ‘em” you tell him and he does so “there, tha’ comfier?” you ask and your father nods.
“M’sorry miss, but could ya wait outside? Gonna have to do things to your daddy you don’ wanna see.” He says and you sigh but understand, nodding “thank you, Doctor Bates” you say “he’ll be alright, darlin girl. Go on now” he says with a small smile for additional reassurance, but it sure as hell didn’t make you feel any less queasy. You step outside, and jake is stood at the other side of the door, face white and covered in blood. “tell me tha’s his blood” he smirks “sure as hell aint mine, pretty girl” he says and you run into his arms, relieved, allowing him to embrace you as your body goes limp against his. “c’mon, lemme clean y’up” you tell him, slowly making your way into the saloon and over to the sinks kept in the bathrooms, wetting a rag to drag across his face. “your daddy alright?” he asks and you exhale shakily “he says so, but he looks ready to see my momma again” you say and he strokes the hand tending to his face with his calloused thumb that produced a shockingly caring touch. “he’ll be alright, baby” he comforts and you offer a small smile.
“I love you” he says and you smile genuinely, tears welled harshly in your eyes as you wrap your hands around his neck, face now clean “oh, I love you too, Jake” you tell him and he wraps both arms around your waist and pulls you in to a tight hug, not letting go as long as you’d let him hold you. You pull back and allow him to wipe the tears from beneath your eyes “there’s my pretty girl” he says and you laugh “scared, don’t know about pretty” “y’ll always be pretty t’me, darlin” he admits, kissing you gently before reaching into his breast pocket and thumbing the object inside.
“god this aint how I wanted t’do this” he sighs “but I love ya, so damned much ‘nd I think it might kill me if I don’t do it now” he says, descending from your touch onto one knee “but please, don’t make me go another five years without ya, honey. I need ya. We can settle down, twelve kids, get married, build a home, cattle ranch ‘nd all” he lists as you smile down at him “but please, d’me the honour of bein’ my wife, will y’ marry me?” he asks and you throw yourself into him “’s tha’ a yes?” he chuckles and you nod vigorously into his neck “of course it’s a yes, jakey” you whisper, allowing him to slip the small band onto your finger. “god my daddy’s gon kill ya” you say, jokingly “don’t worry baby, he already promised.”

HZD Terraforming Base-001 Text Communications Network
Chapter 14 | Prev chapter | Next chapter
Chapter Index
Zo: Aloy, is everything all right? You rushed out pretty fast.
FlameHairSavior: Oh, just more problems to fix. Turns out that even though we have the other subfunctions, we can't actually get HEPHAESTUS, because it deleted the Alpha Override from its code! Which I didn't even know was a thing that could happen!
β: iut likely
β: it was likely only possible due to both its programming knowledge and its distributed nature over the entire caldron network
β: calkdron
β: cauldron
Zo: I actually already knew that. Beta and I discussed this.
FlameHairSavior: So now I have to go find the Omega Override, which hopefully is in Faro's bunker, which hopefully is in San Francisco after all, which hopefully the Quen can help me get inside.
Marshall Kotallo: The Quen are the invaders from across the sea, correct?
FlameHairSavior: Yes. They use primitive Focuses, about twenty years out of date. I only met the one who didn't try to kill me, but she seemed nice. I think she'll help me get what I need.
FlameHairSavior: Also, she might think I'm a goddess, or something.
β: what
FlameHairSavior: It's a long story, and has to do with the Quen religion, which I don't understand.
Zo: How long will it take you to get to San Francisco?
FlameHairSavior: I have no idea. Probably a while.
Zo: Then you probably have time to explain why you think she thinks you're a goddess.
FlameHairSavior: [Exasperation.png]
Zo: And I'll keep Erend from making any jokes.
FlameHairSavior: Deal!
ForgeLordAleMaster: HEY!
FlameHairSavior: Too late, no take backs!
ForgeLordAleMaster: I DIDN'T GIVE YOU ANYTHING TO TAKE BACK!
ForgeLordAleMaster: WHAT WOULD I EVEN MAKE JOKES ABOUT, ANYWAY?
HIMBO: Probably about how this is the second religion that's declared her some sort of holy person.
ForgeLordAleMaster: THAT'S SOME LOW-HANGING FRUIT.
FlameHairSavior: I don't know the full details, but apparently Alva recognized me as Elizabet Sobeck. Thankfully, she seemed to realize that I wasn't actually Sobeck, but she played it up for the soldiers.
β: why would that even matter
FlameHairSavior: Seems like they worship the Old Ones. Or something. I don't know. It reminds me of the Nora revering the Matriarchs, except they're dead.
FlameHairSavior: She talked about the “Ancestors” and “the Legacy” a lot.
HIMBO: Are you sure you should trust them at all? Didn't you say the first Quen you met shot on sight?
Marshall Kotallo: There has certainly been no formal attempt at contact with the Tenakth. As far as I know, no soldier has survived contact.
ForgeLordAleMaster: SURPRISED YOU'D ADMIT THAT.
Marshall Kotallo: Downplaying a threat does no good to anyone.
ForgeLordAleMaster: TELL THAT TO AN OSERAM.
Marshall Kotallo: I... believe I just did?
HIMBO: So, Aloy, what's Alva like?
FlameHairSavior: Inquisitive. Better with a bow than I expected. I think you'll like her.
ForgeLordAleMaster: AND YOU'RE GOING OUT THERE TO SOLVE ALL HER PROBLEMS AND BECOME HERO TO YET ANOTHER PEOPLE.
FlameHairSavior: What? No!
FlameHairSavior: I mean, she already got what she needed. Mostly, I think.
HIMBO: Was it because of you?
FlameHairSavior: I mean, I just helped translate a few files for her.
β: is this the part where we make bets i think im supposed to suggest a bet
FlameHairSavior: No.
ForgeLordAleMaster: YES!
β: then i bet all my shards that shes in love with aloy before the end of the mission
Marshall Kotallo: Hm, seems you have some fire in you after all. Very well, I'll take that bet.
FlameHairSavior: No! You're not allowed to bet on that sort of thing!
ForgeLordAleMaster: PRETTY SURE WE'RE ALLOWED TO BET ON ANYTHING.
ForgeLordAleMaster: I SHOWED YOU THE SPORTS, RIGHT? THE OLD ONES BET ON ALL SORTS OF STUPID SLAG.
FlameHairSavior: Beta, where did you even get money?
β: erend taught me to play machine strike
β: he is not very good
ForgeLordAleMaster: I LET HER WIN A FEW ROUNDS SO THAT I DIDN'T SCARE HER OFF.
β: no youre just not very good
ForgeLordAleMaster: DON'T YOU HAVE A GAIA BOX TO BUILD OR SOMETHING?
HIMBO: Erend, I never thought I'd say this, but I think you need an ale.
FlameHairSavior: This is going to be a long trip.

//spoilers for Young Iron's In Pursuit of Self chapter, "27 - Darkness", and for general big lore things such as the Gold dust things
AAAAAAAAA CONTINUING ON FROM THE REBLOG. I WILL THROW THIS PHONE IM TELLING YOU LOT I WILL.
"Why is it so cold?" ..OLIVIA. IM TELLING YOU LOT THIS IS BAD. BECAUSW YKNOW HOW LIKE GOLD FUST IS WARM AND YKNOW HER GOLDEN WHISYLE ID GONE?? WELL. YEAH UH. YEAH.
NONONONONONONOOBODAHHAHSHDKOJONOBON HER BODT ITS NO NOMONONOB PEONY SVAE JER AH NPNOOSOAO
COLD IROWB NAOSOAOAOAOAOAOAOAKAOOOA.
MY HEART. FIRST IT WAS NORTH. NOW OLVIIA?? To think abput it, its quite poetic considering how North's (possible) last words were "Im sorry" while Olivia's (MOSTBLIKELY POSSIBLE) last words were "North" being yknow.. His name
Kinda yknow poetic to think that they wouldve (MOST LIKELY NEARLY.) died on the same day.. AAAAOFHAKFJDJ
..wait. Peony said that Polly's enginr was somehow "saved" and now Olivia's gained cold iron sleep. Last chapter it was explained how and why Polly's soul entered Olivia's body to help her with her sickness. And since it's known that mostly sentient locomotives are the ones who mostly gain cold iron sleep.. Cold iron sleep entered Olivia's body THROUGH POLLY'S ENGINE BECAUSE THERES NOT MUCH GOLD DUST INSIDE HER ENGINE TO BLOCK OUT COLD IRON SLEEP. WHTAAHWYATA.
BUT HEY. THATS JUST A THEORY. A GAME THEORY-
YKNOW ITS QUITE RICH THAT, OF ALL PEOPLE, ROOSTER WAS THE ONE TO SAY THAT (considering his name HELAHFLDPSJAH)
"He has PTSD?" ..SCOT. HE. SAW. YOU. DROP. DEAD. OF COURSE HE HAS PTSD MY GOSH
THANK THE LORD ROOSTER MENTIONED THAT
ROOSTER SAYING THE REALEST WORDS HERE. IM TELLING YOU LOT ROOSTER IS SAYING THE TRUEST WORDS IN THIS CHAPTER
Wait. OKAY WAIT. WHAT. THIS WHOLE TIME. MY GOSH IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE. SIR GRESLEY TOLD MALLARD ONT HE GOLD DUST
After 31 reads.. MY GOAH IM STARTING TO REALIZE THIS
"he'd begun to lose faith in North" WHAT. SLAMMING MY DESK RN. I knew this wouldve been said soon BUT WJAT I DIDNT KNOW IT WAS THIS KNOWN TO THE OTHERS?? Well SURPRISE SURPRISE ME ITS A NEW CHAPTER OF COURSE I DIDNT KNOW-
PAUSE. MALLARF?????? OKAY MALLARD IS REASONABLE TO BE GUESSED AS A GOLDEN WARDEN BUT TO BE ONE OF THE OPTIONS TO BE ONE?????? IM JUST FALLING OFF MY CHAIR RN. WHAT.
"He convinced himself into becoming a monster" and "No one hated Mallard more than himself." ARE. THE. MOST. RELATABLE. QUOTES. IM QUOTING THIS. THIS. these quotes are so relatable in many ways I could make 2 posts on. I SWEAR TO GOSH AAAAAA. Young Iron is shockingly relatable in all emotions in many ways AND MY GOSH DID IT BECOME MORE RELATABLE AAAAAAAA
Okay. Pause. Merlin was the only one to stay with Mallard throughout his black smoke arc. And yet it killed him in tje end..
NOW THIS IS THE BIT I TRULY TEAR UP AT. IM PAUSING THIS GIVE ME A MOEMNT.
Now continuing on.. Kimg
Kingdbah KIGN EDQWAR I DNOAOAOAIFHD YOU LITTLE GOSH. AANAAOAOODODODOXOXOXOCI
TYDFIL NOAOAOFOFOOOOOOOOOOAOAOAODOSOOSOAOAOAOAAOOOOOA GOD GOSH TYDMDNSAJSHTDVDVAOHOOAOAAAAAAAA.

Dead Plate (Part 2)
OK so its been a month since the last time ive played Dead Plate and uhh oops!! my bad !!
in my defense life has gotten very busy for me especially since its the holidays but now i finally have the time to finish this game and get at least one ending!! (hopefully)
spoilers under the cut
back to day 5 where i struggled so incredibly hard
the amount of times ive played through day 4's nightmare sequence is killing me
bro. how do i pass this level without losing a customer
NOOO I WAS SO CLOSE WHYYY. PLEASE. literally i was doing so well but i took too long for the 4 table orders ugh <//3
i wish you could see like, a patience meter for the customers or something
maybe i should try using the item that slows down how impatient they get
YESSS FINALLY!!! I DID IT I FINALLY DID IT!!
what is that weird squelching sound.
still here even though the shift is over and the sounds i am hearing are concerning to say the least
what if... i just leave
ok i cant leave
boss's office? also i just noticed the timer ticking down uhh
can i just leave please why is the timer ticking down wtf do i do???
also lots of interesting things in that office
was the review on the waiter about Rody? if so ouch man thats harsh
NOOOOO OH MY GOD...... I ACCIDENTALLY QUIT I HAVE TO DO DAY 5 ALL OVER AGAIN ARE YOU KIDDING ME
ok well. at least now i know my key to success is the cologne
ok so Rody had an interesting reaction to the crumpled up picture of Vince and a woman so maybe he knows who she is? is this the 'her' that you can sorta not really call on the telephone??? or is he just surprised to find love letters in the trash
anyways its telling me the sounds are coming from the freezer but idk where to go from here
LMAO the sound signalling the end of the day jumpscared me askhjdakj
at least the food looks tasty
what was that whole thing about tho? what was going on in the freezer??
back home, looked out the window and i noticed you can see someone's silhouette in the background windows
i dont know if that was always there and i just missed it but very interesting
FINALLY a new nightmare
bro he was in an oven?? why ?? damn Rody's nightmares are like really creepy akladjalks
another day another dollar
damn. im gonna struggle once again because there is a LOT of customers and like i am just sooo. ksfdjslkdj whatevr kakayanin !! lets go guys
my hands are so sweaty akladh
another successful day and another tasty dish
....my fingers hurt LMAO
looked out the window and yep alright the person's silhouette isnt always there
huh. interesting nightmare
it was Vince eating him and like damn that actually scared me lskjd
shorter than previous nightmares
well onto day 7 another day another dollar
lets go!! i am winning!!! only had to retry once this day!!
BROSKI JUST QUIT?!?!?
ohhh so the woman is named Manon
aww i feel so bad for this guy :(( the girl isnt picking up
i wonder why tho? like does she just not like him anymore and he just needs to give up on her or is it cuz of smth w Vince (shes probably the girl from the crumpled photo in the trash right?)
damn the phone just ringing while the credits are playing
ouch :((
alright then time to get the other endings!! to do this i will be following the ending guide bc my brain is not big enough to figure it out by myself lmao
ive opened up the official ending guide and oho? you can actually get a phone call from Manon? cool i will try that out first
restarting all the way to day 1 bc i miss how easy it was
yk an interesting thing that was introduced in the tutorial that i havent experienced yet is the customers asking questions
oh hey!! i kept the stuff that i purchased in my previous run?? really?? awesomeee
ooh hey!! i kept the dishes from previous runs too!! cool
ok its day 3 now and i have to take out the trash to activate the cutscene
ok went through that whole baffling ordeal of getting slapped
also!! i chatted with Vince on day 3 and like. idk their chats are just funny to me
also like there might be something wrong with me but i am lowkey shipping Rody and Vincent together kadjlksd
this is something that happened in Elevator Hitch where i started lowkey shipping the two main characters oopsies
anyways!! moving swiftly onwards!!
um. my guy disappeared after i checked the fridge
oh shit new cutscene
BRO ??? UM ?????
well that was scary uhh. damn
oh the boss isnt in the kitchen anymore
wait i didnt get to do all the dialogue options that are needed!! no!! does this mean i need to redo this whole day in order to get the phone call event???
better safe than sorry i guess
ok so interestingly when Rody asked Vince if he liked his job, he didnt answer the question he just changed the subject and made fun of Rody LOL
the 'can you give me a raise' question gives some more details on Manon and what Rody thinks of her (he is a grade A simp bro)
the 'are you single' question is interesting to me just bc Rody the simp has issues w Vince being like 'meh' on romance and tbh im with Vince on romance not being the end-all-be-all
THAT IS DEFINITELY NOT A STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE
IS IT CUZ I FED THE RAT CHEESE INSTEAD OF SCARING IT AWAY OR SMTH???
EW ITS IN THE FRIDGE AND THE REAL ONE I HAD BEFORE IS GONE NOOOOOOO
Vince: I haven't got any sense of taste.
Rody: Yeah I could see the decorations out there-
LMFAOOO RODYYY
bro now i am sad that i missed out on these gold interactions between them on my first run this is so funny
also they both didnt really have any proper answers for what their favorite food is
Vince was like 'eh i dont have any since i cant taste stuff idk lemons or smth' while Rody was like 'i just like whatever my girlfriend likes'
very interesting how Rody is like obsessed(?) with Manon
then when asking Vince what he's reading, he just straight-up lies about what the reviews are saying about Rody lmfaoooo
anyways now for the creepy night restaurant segment and going back in Vince's office to check out the possible Manon love letters in the trash
i just realized the croque madames are like. rotten cuz they have flies flying around it which ew! yuck! why is it like that
well. nothing i can do about it so next day i guess!!
oh hey wait i can now afford the matches which i will be needing for ending 3! nice
OK NOW I HAVE REACHED THE PHONE CALL
damn ok so its not Manon but its Vince inviting Rody to a dinner party!! nice !!
LMFAOOOO HE INVITED RODY TO MAKE HIM WORK VINCE I CANT BELIEVE YOU!!
Rody you are so embarrassing but its ok bc ur really funny
anyways!! getting interesting lore on Vince and Rody!!
one of Rody's old classmates was there, and then another guest said that either Vince must really like Rody to have him there at the party or is incredibly desperate akldskl (since she said that Rody's outfit sucks LOL)
ooh ok so. Rody is desperate and a bit delusional my bro u gotta let go of that girl bc apparently she dumped you already so like. stop bro
dkjhskas nooo ive served all the guests and theres nothing left to do except snoop around in Vincent's bedroom agh!! agh!!!!!
bro when i go in the room the music just disappears wtf
UM? HELLO??? BRO THAT SCARED ME DSKJKSDJ
i knew this was going to happenn aughjahkj
BRO THE MUSIC IS JUST GONE AJKSDFK
not Rody asking what happened like he didnt just steal smth from Vince and pretty much get caught in the act 😭😭😭
well ok then so that happened
actually you know, now that im thinking about it, its kinda weird that Vince threw Manon's letters in the trash
does that mean she is pursuing him romantically but he like just doesnt care or what??
i am inside and i am afraid cuz the game asked 'are you sure?' when i clicked 'go inside' broooo
oh hey its Manon and Rody
WAIT WHY IS THIS LOCKET IN HERE ?? DID VINCE KILL HER ??
ASKHDKAS OH FUCKK OH NO
bro thats so like. sadistic
leaving him tied up and telling him he can live if he runs away but like he can only crawl across the floor
i see why the matches are needed for this part
gee wow thanks game
ok now this time im bringing the matches with me
ok so ive burned away the ropes but im still trapped inside cuz he locked the freezer aghhh
what the heck do i do??
oh nvm i found bags of flour, i can use these to reach the cooler
so i have to stop the fans of the cooler, probably by putting something in it
can i take the saw out?? oh wait theres a switch LOL
ok so ive use the saw to cut the meat off and now ive got animal bones
ive jammed the bones in the fans and now i can break open the window wow
SHIT GOT CAUGHT BY VINCE
DID HE JUST BITE A PIECE OF MY FLESH?!??!
oh my god. he killed and cooked her to feed to Rody i. wHY???
oh so he ate Rody's ear i am shook wtf
bro Rody just severely pissed this guy off by telling him he never ate his food i feel it in my bones
also makes sense why its just sitting in his fridge
Rody really hitting this guy where it hurts damn
i mean its deserved cuz of like the whole thing
i accidentally got ending 4 since i messed up a QTE but damn. damn that was wild and also this is gross
something i didnt mention earlier but i noticed that there was a grilled hanger steak on the table, which is the dish when you get ending 1
would the other dishes i got in past endings show up when i got them? but i got ending 2 and the dish from that didnt show up so maybe its just a little detail for ending 1
wait was the steak made out of Manon. oh boy that makes that ending a lil more fucked up
ok going back to the chase sequence
BRO RODY JUST KILLED HIM
so i went into Vince's office, surprisingly did not get chased inside and then i picked up the broken bottle and now Rody's just killed the guy
got the restaurant key
bestie like. theyre gonna arrest u if u just leave and never say anything please explain the situation to the police or smth
why is the game not letting me leave. what do you mean revenge is best served cold. does the game want me to put Vince in the freezer!??!?!
yep the steak is def Manon
why r u not letting me leave wtf do i do
trying to read the comments on the game's page on itch.io and the amount of people going 'when will they kiss' 'kiss ending when' im laughing
like even tho all this horrible shit just happened i still lowkey ship Vince and Rody oopsies. toxic yaoi LOLOLOL
i have no idea what to do now so i am just gonna look up a guide rq
ok i need to get the cooking oil
he's burning this place to the ground
wait was Vince still alive after getting stabbed repeatedly???? his eye moved when Rody was pouring oil on him and i mean the game did say that his eyes are still following you
oh bro after-credits cutscene with Manon???
aww ok my opinion of Manon has greatly improved cuz she broke up w Rody cuz he was destroying himself for her
she realized that she wasnt good for him and like, for the greater good of his mental health they cant be together
its burnt and also its lemon, which is what Vince said was his favorite food
OH HEY IT CHANGED
actually i did notice that after ending 3 it was snowy
damn
well, thats the end of my playthrough on Dead Plate
honestly, it was a very fun and enjoyable game! i liked the serving aspect even tho i kinda sucked at it and like i also really liked Rody and Vince despite all that just happened
those two are seriously fucked up and i love them LOLOL
the music was really good and made up for having to redo day 5 over and over again alskdjh i was jamming most of the time to the music
the art was also really good! i liked how cute the pixel sprites were, and then like the art for the portraits and CGs and everything was also really good! i really enjoyed the art style and music
the story was interesting, and i liked it too
the twist was wild and blew my mind but i am still a massive fan of Vincent x Rody JKDAHSDKJ
i like how there was a cannibalism twist but Vincent wasnt actually like, an actual cannibal he was just insane and planning on making Rody an unknowing cannibal
i know he ate Rody's ear but like. he said that he doesnt eat people on the regular so yk he's just fucked up
also its really funny reading all the comments and seeing a lot of Vincent x Rody stuff LMFAOOO so true of everybody honestly
HELP I FOUND A COMMENT THAT SAID THEY NOTICED EVERY PIC WITH VINCE IN IT (on the store page) HAS HIM LOOKING AT RODY LDSJHSFLSDKN THE SHIP IS SO REAL!!!
ok sorry enough of that
overall, 10/10 would play again solely for the server gameplay (would be cool to have a kind of endless mode where you just serve customers until one leaves or something) and also because i love these characters
thats all for today and probably for this month LOL byebye!!

Fuck it. Shorter chapters. Please note i havnt written anything in a while, so im a little rusty :)
Epilogue Au
Chapter 1
Desmond wakes up to Lucas watching over him. Answers will have to wait, theres someone he needs to go and see.
Desmond groaned softly, rolling over a bit. His body was so tense and sore, like he would snap if he moved. He faintly registered the sound of somebody moving, then there was a hand on his. He tried to look at the mystery person, only to get pushed down a bit.
"Calm down Desmond. You need to rest." That voice was framiler, he knew that voice. Who was it again? "Just let me help, alright?" The mystery man's voice was pained, but sounded relieved at the same time. "Guess they got to you before i did, huh?" Oh...oh! Lucas! It was Lucas! He made it!
"Lucas-!" He tried to sit up properly, but Lucas pushed him down again. "You made it-"
"Woah woah, slow down cowboy. You shouldn't move that fast… but yes. I made it, I wasn't just gonna ignore your call for help man." He squeezed Desmond's hand. "Scared me good, seeing you on the floor like that."
Desmond nodded, sitting up slowly this time. His joints cracked in protest, but he ignored it. Finally his eyes adjusted to the dim lighting of the room again. He took a moment to look around him. Man his office was a mess, though he wasn't that surprised. Lucas stood next to him, towering over him more so than usual. That's when he realized he was laying on his couch. Oh, that explained it.
"I'm glad you're okay man… Now, what the hell happened? Looks to me those bastards got to you before i did, judging by that box over there." Lucas gestured behind him to his desk.
"I'm fine. I think." He sighed, scratching the back of his neck. "Look I'll explain later, first I need to know, has Allen awoken from his coma yet?"
"No, not that ive heard."
"Then cmon, we're gonna go visit him." He said, already standing up and grabbing his coat.
"Why would we need to visit him? As far as I know he hasn't responded to anything. Good as dead."
"Because I just...feel like something is going to happen."
"Why would something happen just because we visit him?" Lucas asked, following Desmond out the door.
"I don't know, okay? Alls i know is the world is going to hell in a handbasket and nobody is doing anything to stop it!" Desmond stopped walking, leaning against the wall and taking a few deep breaths. "Sorry. I'm just… A lot happened and I'd prefer to only explain once.. So id like to check on Allen first." He started walking again, faster this time.
"Hey, don't worry man. I'm on your side here. I just… Don't see the connection is all. Allen was just the lighthouse worker, wasn't he?"
"He was there when the crash happened." He spoke quieter, as now they had left the building. The town seemed so quiet compared to just a few weeks before. People were paranoid, hiding inside and only leaving occasionally. Of course there were a few who didn't believe anything was happening, but there weren't many. "He had called me about it, shortly after it happened. I wish I was there to answer." The wind was a bit chilly, but it wasn't that surprising. It was Washington afterall.
"He was there..?" Lucas seemed to be processing, trying to understand the connection. Then it clicked. "The fire. It wasn't his fault…" Desmond only nodded, crossing the street. "They tried to get rid of him… oh no."
"Exactly." Desmond kept walking, not looking at lucas.
"So it's true isn't it? That panicked call of his about men in black?"
"Must be, yes."
"Dammit… how did i not see it sooner…." Desmond shrugged as Lucas cursed a few more times under his breath. They continued to walk in silence for a good ten minutes after that, neither of them were willing to break the tension.
Desmond's pace slowed considerably as they approached the hospital. He was having second thoughts about this plan. What if they wouldn't let them see him? They could call the cops. That wouldnt do any good.
"Desmond." Lucas's stern voice cut through his thoughts. He blinked a few times before taking a deep breath. "You sure you want to do this right away? It might be best to put it off until you have recovered more."
"..i appreciate the concern, but it'll be fine." He smiled, trying to convince himself it would be okay. He was pretty sure Lucas doubted his optimism, but if he did, he didn't say anything. After one more deep breath, he reached for the door and pulled it open.
Hopefully Allen would be okay.

Danny Phantom Cryptid AU! Should I put the fanfic on AO3 or Fanfiction.net? I'm still a new fanfic writer so idk where the hip places are for posting. Let me know what you think though! :) here's a scene of Sam researching a new anomaly!!
-------------------------------------------------
Sam stretched her arms and back, sighing as she felt the pops of her bones. She was hunched over her laptop for hours researching the anomaly they saw earlier that day. Luckily, she would have no distractions due to the boys tracking down information on it to classify it. It had been a while since she was by herself, and she was grateful for it.
Droning goth music danced from her speakers. She kept it low enough so it wasn't too loud, but just enough to fill her head. Music always helped her focus. Sam reached for the veggie platter she bought that morning when they three friends went grocery shopping to replenish the van. She was able to get some oat milk and veggie burgers, finally having a little healthier of a snack than vegan chocolates and veggie fries. It always surprised her how much junk food she could eat with her diet.
Sam scrolled through the website, pausing for a moment. "Interesting..." She murmered, removing the pen from her ear and scribbling down the information. "A dual minded ghost. I wonder...?" She tapped the pen on her lower lip, scrolling again.
"The Ghost of Liberty Library is said to split in two, with different halves possessing its own unique ghostly energy. When split, the entity has been seen with two opposing ecto-signatures, where the one had a somber pulse, and the other had a more aggressive pulse. When ghost hunters have encountered the dual ghosts, they were coaxed in by a crying half, only to be chased out of the building or have strongly negative interactions with the other half. The Ghosts have never been seen completely alone and have often been seen as one singular entity. When combined, the spiritual energy in the location is too intense to bare, and most ghost hunters refrain from entering the premises."
"Hmmm..." Sam thought. "This might be tricky..." She pulled out her phone, ready to dial an expert in entity type, and stopped after spying a familiar number. She couldn't help but smile and open the text
"Miss you 💓🌹💗"
It was Paulina. She also sent a picture of her and her friend Star at a concert, both with big smiles on their faces and peace signs. Sam messaged back.
"Miss you too. Hope you're having fun! Let me.know when you get home safe 🖤🦇"
After a small pause and a sigh, she went back to work, dialing another number. The phone rang about three times until the person on the other side picked up.
"This is Valerie."
"Valerie, hey! It's Sam."
"Oh hey Sam! It's been a while since I've heard from you guys." The excitement in her voice was bright. "Where are you guys now? How are the others? Danny hasn't pissed any entity off from talking too much yet, right? And has Tuck finally worn that new beret i sent with the last care package?" Sam laughed, smiling big. It had been almost two months since their last conversation. With being in so many dead zones, it was close to impossible to keep a good signal. Luckily, the gas station parking lot they settled in for the night at had wifi and a solid four bars.
"They've been fine, but still the same old Danny and Tuck. Luckily, Danny hasn't caused any more issues than he usually does... although, when we were studying a gathering of small gnomes in Northern Nevada, he accidentally tripped on their king. You can't really come back from something like that." Laughter bellowed out from the phone. "And Tuck loves the new beret. He hasn't taken it off since he got it!"
"Good! I paid a good amount for it!"
"We're currently at a gas station in Eastern Colorado. It's probably the most drab place we've been to so far. I didn't know there were some places without telephone poles... im glad this place has some service and decent wifi." Sam could hear the smile and humor in Valerie's response.
"There's a reason you don't hear too much about the area. Tell me when you see a coyote and a roadrunner."
"You'll be the first to know," Sam said, with a half smile. She lifted her paper to look at her notes. "The reason I called is to ask you about a ghost category. We're currently investigating a case out here and got a blip on the Fenton Finder. It's a new anomaly, which means it's from the portal explosion, so we're planning on cleaning up the damage. The only thing is, though, this ghost is a dual-minded ghost. It's two ghosts that are also one. I haven't seen anything like it before and the sites and books I have haven't given me any more information." Sam switched the phone to her other ear. " I'm not sure how we should address it without some kind of idea of what we're dealing with. Have you run into something like this before?" There was a small pause and a ruffling of papers on the other end. Usually a good sign...
"Hmmmm... I'd be lying if I said I hadn't heard of it. There aren't many cases like it. I haven't seen any in my hunts, though, not even in the ghost zone, but according to one of my papers, it's more than likely an entwined energy issue. Now, that could mean they were bonded in real life, past lives, molded together after the explosion, which may be the most likely option, any meddling of other entities, or even an intentional entwining." Sam shuddered at the idea. Two souls forced to always stay together was a horrifying prospect. "How does it respond to the human world?" Sam finished writing down the information before answering. She told the other in detail what she had learned.
"That sounds... intense. My guess is a couple from the past? Maybe some grief between the two? The aggressive part might be what is protecting the somber part from harm? Being able to separate is unique, though... Let me do some more research and ask around. There has to be another hunter that may know about this. Maybe see if Danny could communicate with his ghostly friends?"
"I'll ask him when he gets back. Thanks, Val! I'll let you know if I find any more information that'll help."
"Anytime, Sam, and back at ya. Tell the others I say hi?"
"Of course."
After their good byes, Sam turned back to the computer. Most sites said the same thing over and over again, repeating the same story with the same sightings. She rolled her eyes. "They keep stealing from each other..." She mumbled, scrolling more. After about a half hour, there was a swift knock on the van's back door before it flew open. Danny and Tucker climbed into the back, hauling in their gear.
"Hey guys, I just called Val, and she says-"
"The guy's a loony!" Danny growled, kicking his shoes off his feet. "An absolute fruit loop."
"We seem to keep finding them. I blame you for being half ghost." Tucker responded, opening the mini fridge they hooked up to their makeshift home. Danny gave him a confused look.
"What's that got to do with anything?" He asked, changing his shirt. He threw the dirty one on the coach and wrestled the clean one on.
"Hello? Weird attracts weird!" Tucker said, rolling his eyes. He opened up a container and snagged a spoon. "Dude, I mean, half your friends are also ghosts."
"You're one to talk..." The dirty shirt flew and landed on Tuckers head. "Mr. 'I'm-obsessed-with-technology-and-can't-function-without-even-a-pager'." Tucker tore the shirt off his head and glared at the other. He put his container down and started towards Danny, putting him in a headlock. Right as he did so, and as the roigh housing began, Sam sighed and hit her head onto the table.
And just like that, all of her peace and quietness was gone.

I don't want to be THAT girl, but I need to put this out of my chest. I hate Piper. Ok, I have only read the first book of the HOO series, but I don't think it gets better from there forward.
Here are my reasons:
First: Total disappointment.
When Rick introduced us Piper with the "beautiful and violent" quote I had so much faith in the character, even in her obvious (although quite rushed) relationship dynamic with Jason. And then, what he gave me? A jealous and possessive girl over a boy who she doesn't really know, with a lot of "trauma" because she have lived a happy and wealthy life, but her dad didn't pay her much attention (because he was working so she could live well and not how he lived in the past) so she became a thief in order to her father to pay attention to her... GROW FUCKING UP.
Second: I'm not like other girls.
Is it a crime to be feminine and tough? What is wrong with your brothers and sisters for wanting to look pretty? Nothing darling, absolutely nothing, and yet Piper make using a dress and make up such a big deal that is boring. Yes kid, we know you prefer pants and jackets, sit down. Not all the Aphrodite kids have to be hollow inside. Surprise, surprise, you can be smart, you can be brave, you can have the courage to fight with a Dragon and still care about your make up and like to use long dresses with high heels.
Third: What's is your deal with Jason?
It's like she was this toddler with a teddy bear and she just didn't wanna let it go. She knew their relationship was fake, but she hold to it with dear life and all the TLH book was a stupid amount of not necessary touching and holding hands and... well, if you read it you understand. Also there was a moment in Leo's point of view when he says something like: "she can't lose anyone else", and that was bring to life again when we though Jason had died because of Hera and Piper said "I can't lose you" my dear child who the fuck did you lose?! Your dad is save and sound, your mother came and talked to you in a dream when nobody else had seen they godly parents in months, what did you lose? A fake relationship?! Yes really traumatic, want to talk about Leo's past and Jason losing his memory?
Fourth: All the moments "Jasper"
This has a lot to do with my first point, Rick Riordan sold her to me as a strong character, all fighty and stuff, and then she broke her ankle and then caught a hypothermia, and that would have been fine if it was just that, but that moments only served to be Jasper moments, as if they can't have a normal relationship dynamic development, so let's just force them to have some alone time together and then hug near the fire... sure, really natural.
Jason and Annabeth had more chemistry the two times they interacted than Jason and Piper had in the whole book.
Fifth: A weak ass power.
I'm well aware of how the enchanting can be powerful. Words and the way someone use it can be a terrible weapon against the enemy. And then they gave it to Piper and the only time it worked in the whole book was with a female mortal pilot... I mean... they might as well be dead if not for Leo.
Sixth (and I can't say this loud enough) SHE ACTS LIKE A CHILD HAVING A TANTRUM
What is it with that line of her that went like: "Hey Drew in case you forgot Im a child of Aphrodite I don't want you near Jason, maybe he doesn't know it yet, but he is mine" I mean WTF, don't get me wrong, Drew was a bitch but I would have slapped the shit out of Piper right there, it's easy to act tough when you are facing a beauty queen who has never fought in her life, I wonder where was that spirit back in the quest. All her shit was about: I'm weak, I can't look at my own reflection, oh dang my mom made me more pretty, what should I do? Save my dad or continue with this quest? That last question, THAT LAST QUESTION could have been so much more explored, just to leave it at Jason and Leo saying: of course we will save your dad, why didn't you said it sooner? So that was the big end for that dilemma.
I have more things to say, but I'll leave it here. And once again, I repeat, the very best of that book was Leo Valdez.
