Can you write HDC where Smoke, Kaui Liang and Bihan take care of their girlfriend who's sick? :)
of course! i'm gonna make this for a gender neutral reader tho, since i have a lot of female asks! this might be one of my favorite tropes
cw: fluff!!!, Bi-Han's just a little bit distant, proofread
Tumblr media
ᴛʜᴇ ʟɪɴ ᴋᴜᴇɪ ᴛʀɪᴏ + ᴀ ꜱɪᴄᴋ ᴘᴀʀᴛɴᴇʀ
Tomas...
worries over you. He's by your side, 24/7, even if you insist he'll get sick too. He doesn't care, he wants to make sure your okay. Tomas is at your beck and call, making sure your comfortable. Feeling cold? He's got three blankets picked out for you, take one, take all. Want a warm bath? Already drawn, he's even got some florals, candles, and soaks picked out. Thirsty? He's got some green tea already brewed. Or, if you don't like tea, he has some orange juice, or water if you so choose. Tomas has some soup for you, too. Česnečka, a Czech garlic soup. Something he says will cure anything. He'll even sing you a Czech lullaby every night, if you ask nicely. Eventually, when you recover from your cold, and Tomas inevitably ends up falling ill, you'll be there to give him the same treatment.
Bi-Han...
doesn't quite know what to do. Yes, he's worried, but amongst being the grandmaster of the Lin Kuei, and his cold demeanor, he believes he doesn't have much time to worry over you. It is only when Liu Kang- of all people- pushes him in the right direction. With his trust over the Lin Kuei in his brothers hand, he never leaves your bedside. Unless you ask, of course. Bi-Han is very soft with you, and really, all he wants to do is hold you. He knows he can't, but it's kind of hard to hold himself back! While he doesn't know what to do, he will do anything you ask of him, short of kissing you. Bi-Han, unlike Tomas, has some restraint, and he'd rather have you save your strength, and not have to worry about him after your sick. Ask, and ye shall receive. Down to the very specifics. As many blankets as you want, as many pillows as you want, the exact temperature of your bath, what herbs could make you feel better, how to carry you, etc. And, as much as Bi-Han wants you to rest, ultimately, he'll end up giving into those pretty eyes of yours, and go on a walk with you. It's okay, though, the fresh air will do you some good.
Kuai Liang...
dotes over you. He's afraid of you being sick, even if it is just a common cold. Somehow, seeing you weak and bedridden makes his stomach churn. He's worried sick. It's only when Bi-Han tells Kuai Liang to be with you that he fully devotes himself to your care. He is very physically present, he has to be touching you somewhere. Mainly, he keeps your pinkies linked, even in the slightest. The minute he was freed of his duties he had gotten you everything you could possibly need. He has so many teas chosen for you, and even more spicy foods. He wants to make sure you eat well, but Kuai Liang can't say no to you, so when you ask for a cookie, a slice of cake, something sweet that you maybe should avoid, he's still going to get it for you. He will always carry you to your bath, too. And wash your hair. As long as whatever he's doing helps you feel better in any way, he doesn't mind. And afterwards, he'll put new, clean sheets on your bed. Kuai Liang doesn't give himself much room to fail, much less to fail you. So, when you finally regain your strength, it is almost as if Kuai Liang is a new man, more focused and lethal than ever.

hello friends! 🌷
recently i got an ask on how i edit my instagram screenshots and here in gemville, all you have to do is ask and you shall receive my child
fun stuff under the cut!
this guide will be divided into two parts: how i take & edit my gameplay screenshots and how i edit my simstagram posts
Tumblr media
before we get into the actual tutorial, here are a list of things that i use to help me take better screenies :)
gshade
i'm using an older version of gshade because - thanks to my procrastination - i never updated the version before everything went to shit.
2. presets!
i switch around between presets a lot lmao but for the most part, i use ellcrze's gshade preset for my family dynamics save, sunset n vinyl for my globetrotter save & sim download pictures and a modified boho dreams for my tjol legacy save (first post coming up soon!) sometimes i use lithium for cas pics too :p click here for a somewhat detailed explanation lol
3. tab mode camera mod
this camera mod is a godsend and makes taking screenshots soooooo much easier! 😌 i highly recommend getting this mod!!!
Tumblr media
i think i mentioned this before in an ask - i edit my screenshots in photoshop before posting them on tumblr :D i don't really do much, just running a few actions and cropping my screenies. gshade does most of the work for me lol
this tutorial by @buglaur is insanelyyyy helpful omg i based my entire editing process on her tutorial, except for the colouring part because i'm lazy hehe
here's an example of my screenshots before and after editing (cropping the screenshot and running some actions)! there’s not much difference because as i said earlier, gshade will basically carry your entire editing process 💀
Tumblr media Tumblr media
sometimes i put text in my pics like these screenies below :) i mainly use these two fonts - winkle and lemon milk :D
Tumblr media Tumblr media
and that's about it for part one! now it's time for
Tumblr media
here's what you neeeeeed
1. photoshop
i'm using a 🏴‍☠️ version of photoshop that i got from a somewhat sketchy website but it runs great so i'm not complaining 💀
2. instagram post template and instagram story template
a HUGEEEE thank you to @windslar for sharing the instagram story template link 😭 she is such an inspiration to me 💛
3. the actual instagram app
this is how i add text and emojis to my simstagram posts lol
Tumblr media
disclaimer: i am NOT a photoshop expert. there's probably an easier way to do what i'm about to show you, but this works for me and i don't really mind the steps hehe
first things first, you're gonna want to open the psd files on photoshop and it'll look like this, depending on which file you opened
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i usually just hide the layers that i don't need so in this case i'll hide the tagged users layer from the story psd and the bg layer from the post psd.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
these are the layers that i hide but you can also leave them on if you want hehe totally up to you my dude. then you'll end up with something like the pics below
Tumblr media Tumblr media
now we move on to the profile pictures! so what i do is i click these layers (shown below) and go 'file > place embedded > selected picture'
Tumblr media Tumblr media
once you do that, you'll end up with something like this (below)! use 'ctrl + t' to resize your picture to fit into where the profile picture would go.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
right click on the layer of your selected picture and click 'create clipping mask'. then you can hit 'ctrl + d' to adjust the picture to your liking!
now for the actual pictures for the posts. click on these layers (shown below) and go 'file > place embedded > your selected picture'
Tumblr media Tumblr media
now all you have to do is 'ctrl + t' to resize your pictures, right click on the layer of the selected picture and click 'create clipping mask' then 'ctrl + t' again to adjust the pics!
after this whole process, i'll export my pics to my family dynamics folder on my desktop and queue it up on tumblr! :D sometimes my simstagram story posts have text and emojis like these ones below
Tumblr media Tumblr media
all i did was upload the pics to google drive, download it to my phone, add text/emoji on the actual instagram app then saving the story to my phone... a lot of work but i don't really mind <3
Tumblr media
aaannnnddd that's it!!!! i can't believe i made this guide 😭 hopefully this helps :D english isn't my first language so apologies for any grammar/spelling mistakes i've made in this post 🙈 feel free to ask any questions and i'll try my best to reply to you asap!!

heyoooo!, I don't know how to ask for a one shot so as not to seem rude... if you want, could you make an ithaqua x reader(survivor)?.
Survivor, she met Ithaqua when they were younger, because she almost froze to death in the storm in the snow and Ithaqua as a teenager helped her and took her to her mother to help her, after helping her for a few months the tragedy passed, Ithaqua sent the survivor away but she didn't Ithaqua knew that he was in love with him and Ithaqua never knew until,He arrives at the mansion with a letter saying at the end that he will find a person he left a long time ago, and at this point the survivor was still in love with him although a few years had passed, since Ithaqua sent her away to protect her from her deceased twin brother. Maybe Ithaqua will stop seeing her as a younger sister now as something different... I don't know how this is fluff or anguish...If you want you can do it? I'm sorry if I use the feminine a lot, I'm used to it but if you want to make it gender fluid, have a good day!
💌
hey, anon! no worries, it's not rude to request for a one-shot at all (。・ω・。) i tried to incorporate the things you mentioned to some extent but i hope i didn't misunderstand anything,, hope you enjoy nonetheless though!
request; yes, by anon! requests are open (with a bit of a queue), so feel free to send in your ideas 💕
wc; 1 113.
tags; gn! survivor! reader, pre-manor flashbacks, canon-typical vibes, ithaqua & reader sibling relationship, a bit of violence, some angst.
summary; the past is much like a dream in this cold and lonely place. by the time you can finally meet him again, it is under the circumstances you wanted the least.
Tumblr media
everything feels like a dream.
yet, even now you can recall with striking vividness the feeling of the cold snow against your skin along with warmth from the company of others close to your heart.
nothing from that time was a dream.
yet, in this point in time when the coldness is a hodgepodge of pain and loneliness, everything feels like one.
the only proof you have despite your blurry memory is an amulet, left behind by your foster mother, who had raised you with a certain boy whose name you have forgotten.
gripping the amulet, you think back to the moment when your life was engulfed in a sea of orange flames.
screams made the flames waver back and forth, and seeing the woman who was allegedly deemed a “witch” by a cult led by someone whose face was identical to his, your breathing grew more uneven by the minute.
“this woman, a widow, is hereby a witch as declared by our god who bestows us with his wisdom,” he declared, a sick expression plastered on his face, “and thus here she shall now atone for her sins - may they burn to ashes.”
his words were like an order; with a flick of his wrist, a large group came in with torches and threw them inside. your foster mother was chained with nowhere to run.
meanwhile, your brother ran toward you. he stumbled a few steps, but then he crouched down before you, his hands lightly gripping your shoulders, perhaps in an attempt to comfort you amid the chaos.
“listen to me,” he said with a hushed voice, his wide blue eyes tinted with a slightly orange hue, “you have to get out of here, alright?”
“but what about you?”
“i’ll stay behind and save mother and get her out of this. but for now, you have to get out.” he almost sounded desperate at this point. “please, i can’t afford to lose you too.”
something tugged on your heart when you saw his expression and heard his voice, almost begging you to run away so he could at least be comforted by the idea that you were alive, somewhere he didn’t know.
but alive nonetheless.
tears started to stain your eyes and cheeks from the smoke and a mountain of emotions, but you found the strength, albeit barely, to stand up and run out of the house.
you took your amulet and ran, only daring to look back when the sea of fire looked like a faint warm glow.
the fire threatening to burn you is almost apparent, even now, sitting within this cold manor.
you look down at the amulet in your hands, gripping it tightly before loosening your hold, and then enveloping it in the warmth of your hands once again, desperate to keep the memories close to your heart.
right now, it’s your only way to cope.
you always dread that knock on your door with an invitation to another “game”. you know whoever is chasing you will don a distorted appearance meant to scare you. and the manor owner wants that. you have seen it all: a girl forcibly bound to a wheelchair carrying a chisel, a man with long sharp claws, spirits who reside within a cursed umbrella…
just who is going to be next?
that is the only thought running through your mind as you run through the dark woods. trees and bushes obstruct your vision, and eventually, you slip into a small body of water that looks unnaturally green, like some man-made light is illuminating from below.
you try getting out, but the water slows you down, enough that the hunter could find and catch you.
the encounter is brief - you can make out a mask, an axe, a lantern, but he is nimble and swings without hesitation. when your mind is yelling at you to dodge but your legs don’t move, you have to hit them before they finally fight against the water.
the axe lands beside you with a splash, and panting, you look up at that white mask.
for a moment, time seems to slow down.
everything in your surroundings seem to slow to a stop and lose its color as you look at the hunter before you.
your chest tightens; it’s as if someone had reached into your heart and slowly started stretching it from both sides. you are wide-eyed, unable to blink at this boy, who looked like a stranger out for blood yet so, so familiar.
that’s right… his name is-
the blade stops just short of your face. seeing it so close to you makes your heart hammer out of your chest - the hunter looking so tall with the stilts don’t help your nerves either.
“(y/n)?”
hearing your name once again coming from the person you miss the most, tears are beyond your control, your chest laden with pain.
yet, you didn’t want to meet him again here, not under these circumstances.
you wanted to meet him while viewing the first snow, or fall asleep together while mother sang a lullaby.
why did it have to be now, after mother was long gone? after happiness has long been broken?
you can’t bring yourself to stun him the entire match. you can only run away, avoiding that lantern’s flicker, until you find yourself back in your cold room.
lying on the bed, you look over with heavy eyes. to the side on a plain mahogany desk is the amulet.
next to that is a single vase, filled with pink carnations.
ithaqua, now alone in the room with no prying eyes, slowly takes off his mask.
beneath the mask is a perplexed expression, light blue eyes seeming to waver slightly.
he walks to the desk where a letter lays, the red flower-shaped seal ripped but the letter still folded neatly within. with nimble motions, he takes out the folded piece of paper and unfolds it, reading the invitation.
dear ithaqua,
i hope this letter finds you well. i’m writing on behalf of the owner of oletus manor to ask for your help with a rather large-scale experiment.
after some consideration, we have determined you to be a perfect fit for what we are looking for, so we would like to formally invite you to participate in a series of games for us.
of course, we will not ask you to do this for free. we will compensate you handsomely with any reward you wish for should you adequately complete what is asked of you.
if this offer strikes your fancy, we hope to see you at oletus manor, where a certain reunion may await you.
sincerely,
miss nightingale.

The rest of the trip flew by. Well, it would do when the pair were surrounded by a pink, glittery haze of their newly professed love. After Harry had gone back into the villa to lock the balcony doors and they left Amalfi, they cut across Italy, through Salerno and Potenza before arriving in Bari where they spent a few days traipsing round the maze of narrow, cobbled streets of the old town and walking through galleries and museums while nudging hips and the brushes of hands against one another’s. The pair took turns on the drive alongside the Adriatic coast, stopping for day trips and overnights. They had no plan so pulled in wherever they fancied, or when something caught their eye. Funnily enough, the weird, dodgy sound coming from the engine had disappeared and was now a distant memory as they made their way to Venice. Venice was… well… bloody Venice. They wandered down paved streets hand in hand, and they took a gondola ride as night fell on their first evening. As the sun set around them their gondolier told them the romantic legend of the Bridge of Sighs and urged the young couple to share a kiss as they floated under the bridge so they could bask in eternal love. 
“What a load of old shit,” Y/N had snorted quietly to Harry as they approached the bridge as she was cuddled up to his side. 
“Oi, it’s romantic,” Harry jabbed her side playfully before looping his arm around her shoulders and playing with the ends of her hair that fell there. 
“It’s the gondola companies capitalist wet dream is what it is, look at all the boats lined up,” she giggled thinking about how many young couples must pay a premium to come to this spot every day. 
Harry laughed as he noticed the queue of boats himself, “hm, so no kiss then?” he asked just as they were about to sail under. 
“Well, I never said that” Y/N whispered turning her neck to face him as he was already leaning in. She planted her lips on his and indulged in the feel of his lips moving against her own, honouring the legend even if it was used as a ploy to make money nowadays. 
Venice continued to be perfect. Harry held his clumsy girl steady on the landings that bobbed in the water of the Vaporetto water taxis, taking her hand in his, helping her to board. They spent a day and two entire reels of film in Burano taking in the brightly coloured houses that were even brighter and even more sweet-like than the ones they saw in Naples. The colours paired with the sun shining above them made for beautifully hazy pictures of the two of them with the houses at bright backdrops. Harry had Y/N posing for him every few metres that left him overwhelmed with options for his phones new home screen. He settled on one with her hand raised to stop him a faux glare gracing her face as he stopped her again to take her photo. 
The toured a lacemakers on Burano and Y/N went back with scraps of the handmade lace in her hands that she knew was going straight into the scrapbook she planned to make of this trip. Harry couldn’t take his eyes off her as her fingers toyed with the lace and ran delicately over the top of it appreciating the floral designs and the craftmanship that went into making even the little pieces she was going away with. Their favourite stop was at the Libreria Acqua Alta, the most beautiful bookshop the pair had ever seen, the Waterstones on the high street near both their houses paled in comparison to this. Stacks of books littered the place, but what really sold it to the pair was that the slew of books were displayed in buckets, boats and bathtubs to save them from flooding when the canals overflow into the shop. They spent a while looking at all the books with Harry buying a few of his favourites in Italian so he could get better at learning the language. She watched him from an aisle over, his brow furrowed as he read over the blurb on the back of a particular book in his hand, eyes flitting over the words before deciding to buy it and depositing it on the growing pile of books he had accumulated. He looked up to find her, but seeing her gaze already on him as they smiled to each other before Harry went over to grab her own pile of books to carry for her.
***
It was November now, and the stack of books with worn edges and pretty leatherbound spines Y/N had bought from the little shop in Venice sat pride of place in the bookshelves of her flats living room. She was sat criss-cross on the floor in front of her coffee table with her supplies spilling over the edges of the small table and onto the floor, a large square book opened onto a blank page in front of her. She rifled through the bundle of freshly developed photographs trying to find a specific shot of her and her best friend. It was a photo from a few months ago on a road trip they had taken. It was a photo of them on a walk one evening in Positano, they were walking side by side down the middle of the road watching the sunset when a stranger stopped the pair and asked if she could take a photo of them as they looked like such a beautiful couple and they should remember their evening with a picture. How little the stranger knew that the beautiful couple had only became a couple a short 12 hours before that. But as the setting sun burnt the sky a rich orange that faded to pink then into blue behind them, Harry and Y/N were photographed leaning against the railing that looked over the water, arms wrapped around one another with radiant smiles plastered on their faces as the stranger took the first official photo of the pair as a couple. Y/N looked fondly down as she pasted the photo into her scrapbook with the glue stick that she had to peel a layer of crust off as she had left the lid off for too long. She wrote the date under the photograph before flipping through the book again, seeing the U.K sticker they peeled off the car when they arrived back next to the photo of them outside the car before they left, the photo of an unsuspecting Harry getting to drive through the big tunnel he was so desperate to do, the two of them standing in front of the candy-coloured houses in both Naples and Burano caught on film and glued into her book, a strip cut off from the silk scarf Harry had tied round her neck, to live out her best Audrey Hepburn fantasy, was in the book next to one of the numerous photos of Y/N that Harry had taken that evening. She was just starting a new page with the scraps of lace from Burano getting pasted in when she heard a key jiggle in the lock of her front door. Now, only Y/N’s mum and one other person had a key to the flat and her mum was currently in her hometown to that left the latter as who it could be. 
“Girlfriend, where are you?” he sang from the entryway as he shed his coat from his shoulders before putting it in her coat cupboard in the hallway. She heard his shoes get kicked off his feet in a clatter against the wooden floor. 
“I’m in the living room, boyfriend,” Y/N called back not looking up from her task at hand as she heard his socked feet pad up the hall towards her. 
“Evening, my love, wha’s all this?” Harry asked standing next to her, peering down at her covered coffee table and the opened scrapbook.
“Went to the craft shop today, went a bit mental, here I am, finally making the scrapbook from our trip,” she spoke as she pressed down on the piece of lace to stick it in place before looking up at him, “hi pretty,” she sighed out smiling up at him from her place on the floor. 
“‘Went a bit mental,’ yeah I can see that,” Harry laughed leaning down to peel a letter H sticker from her forehead before showing it to her on the pad of his index finger. 
“Oh! I was looking for that,” she carefully peeled the sticker from his fingertip and flicked to the front page of the book to complete the sentence that formerly read as ‘Arry and Y/N’s Roadtrip.’ “There we go,” she stuck it in place, even if it was a little squint on the page. “Help me up?” Y/N pouted up at him raising her hands up in front of him. Harry popped the plastic bag for life onto her couch to grip both her hands in his pulling her up from her spot. 
“Hmm, finally,” Harry groaned as he finally got to kiss her hello. A deep, slow kiss as his tongue licked into her mouth just a little bit before he pulled back with three short pecks, muttering a ‘hi,’ against her kiss softened lips. 
“Hm, what’s with the bag,” she glanced down to her couch as if to remind him. 
“My turn to cook tonight, isn’t it?” Harry asked lifting the bag and walking towards her kitchen setting it on the side before helping Y/N pop herself up to sit on the countertop when she followed him in. “Did y’know they charge 30 bloody pence for a bag for life nowadays,” Harry sighed as he stood between her legs wanting to be close to her after a long day and last night without her. 
“It’s so we stop using plastic H, where were your reusable ones?” asking as she rest her forearms on his shoulders pulling him in closely and letting her hand card through the back of his hair. 
“Left them in the car and couldn’t carry everything without one,” he muttered before holding back a moan at the satisfaction of her nails scraping lightly against his scalp. 
“How was the studio?” Y/N questioned him as he untangled himself from her for a second to unpack his shopping bag so he could start preparing dinner. 
“Hm, was good I think, felt like a good day today,” he mused, sniffing his fresh produce quickly, still didn’t smell as good or as fresh as what they bought in Italy.
“Write anything good?” Y/N reached behind her to grab the two cutting boards he would need. 
“Yeah, think so,” Harry smiled, remembering what he got out today and thinking about what inspired it. 
“Let me hear some?” she asked playfully, knowing already she had absolutely no chance until Harry was ready to share it with her. 
“Nice try, baby, not yet” Harry came back to stand between her legs, reaching forward to quickly push her hair back off her face. 
Y/N scrunched her nose and grumbled, “tell me what it’s about at least,” batting her eyelashes flirtatiously to try and convince him.
Kissing the pout from her lips, tasting the balm she was using to fight off the chapping the ever-increasing winter wind was causing as London grew colder and colder.
“Hmm, I’m not sure,” Harry teased. 
“Oh H, please,” she whined hopping down from the counter, standing on her tiptoes she brushed her nose against his, the tip of his own still tinged pink and a little cold from being outside, before resting her chin on his chest to gaze up at him. 
Harry breathed out a huff of laughter his hands cupping her face, thumbs brushing across the tops of her cheeks as she leant into his touch
“Driving,” he stated
“Driving?” she puzzled head tilting to the side. 
“The songs about driving,” he said softly. Memories of the road trip that changed it all for the flourishing couple rushed through both their minds simultaneously, Harry’s like a movie in his mind and Y/N’s all the pasted pages of her scrapbook that she had worked on all day. Smiles graced both of their faces, knowingly, but not one of the two saying it aloud. Harry let out a hum of laughter, almost bashful sounding before he pulled her into a kiss. His lips nipping her bottom lip between them. 
Harry was cooking dinner when Y/N spoke up again as she watched him stir the sauce with a tea towel draped across his shoulder. 
“My wish came true by the way,” she spoke from behind him as he turned to face her, closing the distance by pulling her into his chest. 
“Wish?” Harry puzzled, resting his forehead on hers, the innate need to be close to her waving its flag. 
“My wish I wouldn’t tell y’about at the Trevi, it came true,” she whispered the sound of food bubbling away on the stove almost drowning her out.
“Mine too,” Harry pulled back to look into her eyes before leaning down to kiss his love. 
“Now feed me, Styles,” Y/N proclaimed as they broke apart. Harry laughed as he turned round grabbing the spoon from the sauce and holding it up for her to taste. As she leant to taste it, the sauce fell from the spoon and down her shirt that was partly covered by the soft cotton dungarees she wore. “Oh, for fuck’s sake, that was your fault this time,” she whined as she began to shimmy out of the t-shirt from under her overalls, and to Harry this all felt a bit too much like déjà vu.

“So Y/N, I got your rsvp but I didn’t see a name for your date,” Leah smugly says through the phone. You had sent out your response to the save-the-date, opting to simply check the box off that you’d be bringing someone with you, leaving the name box empty. It was honestly better to leave it blank, than to have written a name only for you to show up with no one. 
“Ah, I figured it’d be a surprise. Didn’t want dad looking into him or anything.” You lied. It was a situation that both Leah and yourself knew could happen. It wouldn’t have been the first time your father had gone ahead and looked into someone you were seeing. The first time you had brought a boy's name up he had ended up finding out everything about him in two days. Only for your father to disapprove of him instantly, warning you that if you continued to see someone of such a ‘low income household’ that you’d be destined to end up just like him. ‘Poor,’ and ‘Living in a one floor home in some shitty part of the city.’. 
“I see,” Leah responded disapprovingly, “Well then what should I have placed on the nameplate?” You could practically hear the grin she was one hundred percent wearing. Once more, Leah felt that she had the upper hand. “Shall I set your names as Miss. Y/N & Mr. No name?” she chuckles, 
“Just write it down as Y/N and Guest.” You sighed, 
“As you wish, sister.” The silence between the two of you was heavy, you know exactly what she’s thinking. “Ah,” Leah sighs, “Y/N it’s okay if you’re coming alone, honestly no one would be surprised or anything.” 
Not today. Today you wouldn’t let her get under your skin more than she already has. Today you’ll just be amicable, and hope she’ll just leave the topic be. “Anyways Leah I have to go, I promised my friends I’d go out with them.” 
“Mmm,” she hummed, “Avoiding your problems is never good but you should know that by now.” 
“Alright Leah, I’ll talk to you later.” You didn’t give her the chance to respond before hanging up the phone, falling back on to your bed and letting out a loud sigh. 
ꕀ❀ꕀ
“You look out of it.” Maddy sighs, as she sets her fork down. Autumn gives her a concerned look. You haven’t been fully there, physically sure. Mentally you’d been spaced out the entire time, missing conversation queues or just completely zoning out and missing the whole conversation itself. 
“Huh? Yeah, I’m fine,” you say, shaking your head at them, attempting to shake the cobwebs from your mind and focus on your friends.
“Yeah see, no you’re not.” Autumn chirped, “I don’t think I’ve seen you this silent since the first time we met.” 
“Since you first moved in actually.” Mini sighs, “Is it still the wedding thing?” 
“Wait, you’re still going to that?” Maddy whipped her head in your direction, staring at you with wide eyes, 
“She’s my sister, I kind of have to go. And I’m still the maid of honour..” you sigh, wringing your fingers together.
“You don’t ‘kind of have to go’. If you don’t want to go, don’t go,” Mini huffs, crossing her arms over her chest and pouting.
“My family would have a shit-fit if I don’t show up,” you sigh loudly and flop back into your chair, “my sister just said some shit that- I don’t know, I guess it got to me.” 
“When isn’t she saying shit to get to you though?” Maddy questioned, 
“Fair point, but everything’s just getting to me a bit more than usual,” you pick up your fork and start tapping it across your plate, poking and moving your food around in front of you.
“Well, what’d she say this time to set you off?” Mini asked, noticing your foot anxiously bouncing up and down.
“Something along the lines of me still being in love with Jeonghan, and how I have refused to date anyone else because I’m too busy being in love with him and working on my ‘Music’ as she put it; let alone earlier she called to talk about my rsvp, and she said it was fine if I didn’t have a date, that no one expected for me to even have one. All in all she’s just calling me lonely.” You let out in one breath, everything that had accumulated finally falling out. 
“Wow, ok what the fuck,” Maddy’s jaw was slightly ajar in shock, shaking her head in disbelief.
“That’s a lot to unpack.” Autumn sighed, “Well real question, and I hope you don’t mind me asking but are you still in love with Jeonghan?” the minute the question fell from Autumn’s lips, Mini almost choked on her drink. Looking at Autumn with a face which read ‘We don’t ask that’.
“No, I’m not in love with him. He broke my heart so that ship has long sailed,”
“You deserve better than him honestly, good for you.” Autumn smiled, 
“Well then, are you taking up my idea on taking the leebits to the wedding?” Mini laughed, 
“Leebits? To a wedding?” Maddy coughed, 
“Can we be serious for just a second, Min?” Autumn sighed,
“I mean if a leebit could magically turn into a fully grown man then I would 100% take one with me,”
“Too much chaos, that rabbit is the incarnation of pure evil. I’d bring PuppyM.” Mini laughed, 
“Shouldn't you be bringing a Jiniret?” 
“Jinnie might be my boyfriend, but puppyM is my favourite skzoo so, no.” Mini shook her head, “Anyways,Y/N you still have about three months until the wedding; I’m not even sure why she made the deadline so soon for the rsvp but you have exactly three months and one week until the event, that is enough time to figure out the date situation.” You looked down to your phone, opening the calendar app. Three months, and one week until the wedding. Leah had really rushed it. Weddings take so much time to plan, so much preparation and yet she chose the soonest possible date she could. Leave it to her to absolutely need to rush everything. 
Leah has always been impulsive. The sooner she gets what she wants the better. In this case, maybe it was just the want to have the wedding; or it could be something else. Leah had successfully taken your man. Who’s to say someone else wouldn’t be able to do the exact same? Would someone swoop in and take him from her? Was that something she worried about? Was that something that plagued her mind? Was he always so easily swayed?
“You know,” Maddy smiled, “you could always let me set you up on some blind dates.” 
“Blind…dates?” 
“Or she could just suck it up and ask one of the boys.” Mini shrugged, 
“I’m not cursing them.” You sighed, “maybe a blind date wouldn’t be bad.” The idea of meeting new people was never one you quite enjoyed, but being set up on a blind date might be a better idea than going through the pain of downloading those dating apps that never seemed to work. Swiping into oblivion only to find maybe one or two matches. None of which could ever hold a proper conversation, without instantly thinking with their dick. 
Men on online apps cannot be trusted. They want nothing more than someone to spend a night with. They have expectations. Crude expectations that usually result in him buying dinner, and you being expected to provide some sort of ‘service’ to ‘repay’ said ‘kindness’.  Only once has a dating app proven itself useful to you, and still in the end. He left you for your sister. 
So yeah, how much worse could it get than that? Perhaps being set up on a blind date would be best, at least then the person arranging the date knows what both parties are looking for. Right?

The Curse of Oenone (Leo Valdez xFem!Oc)
A/N: My nephew helped me queue this one (he is a literal baby) -Danny Words: 2,379 Series' Masterlist Previous Chapter // Next Chapter Listen to: 'Goldrush' -by Stela Cole
Tumblr media
X: Are You Serious? Right in Front of My Salad?
I wake up with a start. My mouth is dry as if I've been running for hours. I just had the weirdest dream about Janus in a forest and now my mind is racing, so I get up. I leave Annabeth in Geryon's old bedroom and make my way downstairs. 
Nico is seated on a tall chair in the kitchen aisle, he doesn't look up as I walk past him, but as I'm filling a glass with water, he speaks to me. "How's Lily?" He asks hoarsely. "And Michael?"
I want to ignore him, but his voice is so broken my heart can't bear it. We spoke to his sister's ghost today, and Bianca told him to stop trying to bring her back.
"You know, now that you're all grumpy, you and Lily would get along even better."
"I don't want friends," he cuts me off, voice quivering. "Just wanted my sister."
"Nico," I leave my glass on the counter and cross my arms. "I grew up in an orphanage—"
"What's that got to do with—"
"Shut up and listen," I scowl. "I didn't know how it felt to have a real family until recently, and sometimes Percy annoys me on purpose, but no one cares for me the way he and my mom do. If Bianca, your only sister, was asking you to trust us, you should've listened."
"Like how you listened to Percy when he asked you to stay put?"
I tense. "That's different. Geryon would've killed him if I hadn't—"
He interrupts me bitterly. "Percy's not your real brother, and you'll never know what a real family is. You get in everyone's way trying to be a hero."
I try not to pout, but I'm not succeeding. "That's mean."
If Nico is ashamed, I don't sense it. "It's the truth."
"You don't talk to your friends like that," I say, voice quivering. "Bianca—"
Nico gets up and exits the room hastily, speaking through gritted teeth. "We are not friends."
Tumblr media
"...Gaea told me that she needed the blood of only two demigods—one female, one male. She—she asked me to choose which boy would die." Piper explains during the meeting.
"But neither of us died," Jason replies. "You saved us."
"I know. It's just... Why would she want that?"
"Guys, remember at the Wolf House? Our favorite ice princess, Khione?" Leo mentions. "She talked about spilling Jason's blood, how it would taint the place for generations. Maybe demigod blood has some kind of power." 
"Oh..." Percy leans back in his chair looking nauseous. "Oh, bad... Bad. Bad." He turns to Hazel and Frank. "You guys remember Polybotes?"
"The giant who invaded Camp Jupiter," Hazel replies. "The anti-Poseidon you whacked in the head with a Terminus statue. Yes, I think I remember."
"I had a dream, when we were flying to Alaska. Polybotes was talking to the gorgons, and he said—he said he wanted me taken prisoner, not killed. He said: 'I want that one chained at my feet, so I can kill him when the time is ripe. His blood shall water the stones of Mount Olympus and wake Earth Mother!'"
"Jolly way of dying..." Ara mutters.
Piper makes a face. "You think the giants would use our blood... the blood of two of us—"
"I don't know," Percy replies. "But until we figure it out, I suggest we all try to avoid getting captured."
"That I agree with," Jason sighs.
"But how do we figure it out? The Mark of Athena, the twins, Ella's prophecy... how does it all fit together?" Hazel questions.
Annabeth leans on the table. "Piper, you told Leo to set our course for Atlanta." 
"Right. Bacchus told us we should seek out... what was his name?"
"Phorcys," Percy responds.
"You know him?" Annabeth looks at him with surprise.
"I didn't recognize the name at first. Then Bacchus mentioned salt water, and it rang a bell. Phorcys is an old sea god from before my dad's time. Never met him, but supposedly he's a son of Gaea. I still don't understand what a sea god would be doing in Atlanta."
"What's a wine god doing in Kansas? Gods are weird," Leo points out with a shrug. "Anyway, we should reach Atlanta by noon tomorrow, unless something else goes wrong."
"Don't even say that," Annabeth shivers. "It's getting late. We should all get some sleep."
"Wait," Piper intervenes. "There's one last thing. The eidolons—the possessing spirits. They're still here, in this room." 
There is nothing but silence for a few seconds before Hazel sighs. "Piper is right."
"How can you be sure?" Annabeth questions.
"I've met eidolons. In the Underworld, when I was... you know."
"So..." Frank looks around anxiously. "You think these things are lurking on the ship, or—"
"Possibly lurking inside some of us," Piper replies. "We don't know."
"Okay," Ara fixes her posture tensely. "Do you have a plan to get rid of them?"
"Yes," Piper looks at her. "I think we can fix this."
Ironic, how the skills that have proven to be handy so far are the ones she had as an Aphrodite and not the ones she worked hard for. "Okay," Ara nods with confidence. "What do we do?"
"We talk, and everyone else has to listen," her sister explains. "Your voice is stronger than mine, so it'd be better if you call out to them first, and force them to stay put."
"You're a better negotiator, though," Ara reminds her, "so you'll do the talking after I've got them in place."
"Deal."
"Girls, what are you—"
Ara hushes Jason and lifts a finger. "Be quiet, I have to focus." She closes her eyes and takes a deep breath. The girl's skin glows pink, and the dark brown has been replaced with iridescent tints when she opens her eyes. "Eidolons, where are you?"
A ripple of warm air crosses the table. Leo, Jason, and Percy sit up stiffly, their gazes are the same golden color. "Here," they speak all at once.
Frank jumps out of his seat and presses his back against a wall. Hazel covers her mouth in horror.
"You are not allowed to leave your seats," Ara tells them.
"We won't move," they reply.
 Annabeth looks at the two daughters of Aphrodite with worry. "Oh, gods—Can you cure them?"
Piper raises her hand to ease her, and when she does, her palm trembles a little. Ara holds it as soon as she notices.
"Are there more of you on this ship?" Piper asks.
"No," Leo responds. "The Earth Mother sent three. The strongest, the best. We will live again."
"Not here, you won't," Piper's eyes blaze with anger. "All three of you, listen carefully. You will leave those bodies—"
"No."
"We must live."
"Then find another way," Ara glares at the Eidolon possessing Leo.
Leo's face twists into a smirk. "You are a spoiled child of Olympus. We do not answer to you."
"Mars Almighty, that's creepy!" Frank draws out his bow. "Get out of here, spirits! Leave our friends alone!"
Leo looks at him. "You cannot command us either, child of war. Your own life is fragile. Your soul could burn at any moment."
Frank manages to aim an arrow at Leo. "I—I've faced down worse things than you. If you want a fight—"
"Frank, don't," Hazel gets up, then turns to the others. "Listen to Piper."
"Daughter of Pluto, you may control gems and metals. You do not control the dead," Percy snarls.
"Listen, eidolons," Hazel spits out, "you do not belong here. I may not command you, but Piper and Ara do. Obey them."
Piper looks at Ara, the girl squeezes her palm and absorbs the fear her sister is feeling so she can speak. Piper takes a deep breath and tries again. "You will leave those bodies."
Jason grimaced. "We—we will leave these bodies."
"You will vow on the River Styx never to return to this ship, and never to possess any member of this crew."
Leo and Percy groan in protest, but their eyes are slowly changing colors.
"You will promise on the River Styx," Piper repeats, squeezing Ara's hand.
Ara shakes off the shivers she's getting from sponging Piper's anxiety, but she doesn't let go of her. "Promise!" The girl stomps her foot impatiently, and another ripple of hot air pushes out of her place on the table.
"We promise on the River Styx," the boys spit out in different levels of distress. 
"You are dead," Piper continues in a steady voice. 
"We are dead." 
"Now, leave."
The boys fall: Percy against the table, Jason over his chair, and Leo onto the floor. "Ow!"
"Leo!" Ara lets go of Piper and circles the table, she finds Leo sprawled next to his toppled chair.
"Are you all right?" Hazel asks the boys.
"Did it work?" Leo speaks groggily.
"It worked," Piper announces. "I don't think they'll be back."
"Does that mean I can stop getting head injuries now?" Jason groans.
Piper laughs. "Come on, Lightning Boy. Let's get you some fresh air. And Ara..." she tilts her body to see her over the table's surface. "Thank you."
Ara helps Leo to get back on his feet, she dusts off her jeans and looks at Piper. "You saved my brother and my boyfriend, I should be thanking you."
"What was that thing you did?" Hazel questions in shock. "You glowed pink!"
"Aphrodite's blessing," Ara replies. "I can use those from time to time, but not often and not one after the other, it tires me out too quickly."
"You have more than one blessing?" Frank asks in shock.
"She's got four," Leo replies hoarsely, rubbing the side of his face. "Gods, doll, you could've asked my ghost to land on his butt..."
Ara grins. "We should call it a day. Y'all go to sleep, I'll take the night shift."
Everyone starts to leave, but Percy stays behind to talk to Ara and Leo. "So..." He makes a face. "That sucked. I'm sorry for... you know..."
"It's alright, man," Leo shrugs. "I would've reacted the same way if some weirdo claimed to be my sister's sweetheart and then proceeded to bomb my house."
"A real fancy way to put it, Leo," Ara scowls.
"My point is—now we can start over, right?" Leo reaches out to take Percy's hand.
Percy shakes his hand with no hesitation. "Definitely." He glances at Ara. "I know Ara can take care of herself, but... just try to be careful."
Ara feels weird about the way he says it. Her mind goes to Hazel and Frank, and how they called Leo 'Sammy' the first time they spoke to him. She thinks Percy knows something about that.
Tumblr media
Leo is checking the ship's status before ending the day. It could be done by just one of them, but he insisted and Ara refused to let go of him now that he's eidolon-free.
"Not that I'm complaining," he walks from one place to another with Ara hugging him from behind like a little kid. "But it wasn't that serious, doll. Getting possessed is kinda like the flu."
"It's not funny," Ara mumbles, squeezing his waist. "Last night he could've taken over while you were kissing me—"
"Yikes," Leo cringes. "Let's not go there."
"But it could've happened!"
"Nah," he taps the morse code for 'I love you' on the back of her hand. Leo does it without noticing, or at least that's what Ara thinks, she's never asked because she fears it'll make Leo self-conscious and then he'll stop doing it. "My Eidolon was scared of you—all bark and no bite. The reason why they felt brave enough to attack you in New Rome, was because you were caught off guard."
"Love your blind faith, but—"
Leo turns and wraps his arms around her. "No buts! You're strong, smart, and hot when you use your blessings."
Ara gets flustered and tries to step back. "Okay, I got it—"
The boy kisses her without warning. He hadn't kissed her like this in... well, probably never. When he ends it, Ara is speechless and light-headed, her soul-light glows as bright as gold. Sometimes he does things that make her doubt he's not a fidget of her imagination, the way he can make her forget everything that bothers her and all she can do is stay focused on him in just a matter of seconds.
"Talking about last night... you mentioned Hazel," he says quietly, paying close attention to how she reacts. "We're gonna talk about that, or..?"
Ara leans her forehead on his. "Do we have to?"
Leo frowns. "Yeah, think so. That girl and her boyfriend freak me out! I don't know what I did to them..."
"Percy knows, but I don't think he wants to tell me," she sighs. "You should ask them face to face."
Leo snorts. "And say what? 'Hey, are you two planning my murder?'—bet that would lighten the mood around here."
Ara rolls her eyes. "Obviously not like that! I'm sure there's a way to address this without making it awkward..." She holds his arms. "Do you think Hazel..."
Leo stares at her, and he doesn't know how, 'cause this has never come naturally to him, but he guesses what Ara's trying to ask him. "You think she likes me?" He squints. "I mean, I am more good-looking than Frank, but—"
"Leónidas!" She hisses under her breath. "I'm serious!"
"Me too!" Leo exclaims. "Okay fine, grown-up talk," his grip on her gets a little tighter. "I don't know. It's like she's scared of me or something... I'll try to talk to her if you want me to."
Ara's uncomfortable for a wide variety of reasons. Mostly jealousy, but she's having negative thoughts about a girl that she's supposed to look after, and to top it all she's Nico's half-sister. She tries hard not to antagonize Nico too much, but she's always finding ways to do so.
"I hate feeling this way." She makes a face. "When we got the celestial bronze, you guys had like... a moment. I'm still thinking about it."
"A moment?"
Ara blushes, knowing how ridiculous she's about to sound. Her eyes avoid his when she talks, they're no longer golden, but they still have power over her. "You locked eyes for a second. It looked intense."
Leo presses his lips together, stopping himself from laughing. "Hm."
"This is stupid, I don't know why I'm even—"
The girl turns to leave, but Leo pulls her close again, grinning from ear to ear. His soul-light brightens. "Arae Jackson, are you jealous?"
"No!" She exclaims indignantly. "Being jealous would mean I don't trust you and I do! I don't care if you talk to girls, I'm just—worried."
"Worried," Leo repeats tauntingly. "Sure. Whatever you say, sunshine."
Ara slips out of his grasp and hurries away. "I'm telling Frank you said he's ugly."
"Hey! I didn't—Ara—STOP!"

Saga: Rivals - 8
Writer: Akira
Season: Winter
Characters: Seiya, Hokuto, Jin
Proofreading: 310mc (JP) & Peace (ENG)
Translation: kotofucius
Seiya: I’m so sorry, Hocchan. But I know you wouldn’t be able to stomach having “Cause of Death: Dad” in your death certificate. You’d stop at nothing to come back to life, wouldn’t you?
Tumblr media
[Read on my blog for the best viewing experience with Oi~ssu ♪]
Location: Soundproof Lesson Room
Seiya: He’s right. There is no reason for anybody to criticize him, as long as his enjoyment remains well within the confines of law.
Not that I claim to have any experience — but I feel like defending Jin-kun, anyway.
Siding with people will make you much more likable, rather than criticizing them.
Hokuto: Ugya!? Don’t come out of nowhere! You nearly made my heart stop!
Seiya: I’m so sorry, Hocchan. But I know you wouldn’t be able to stomach having “Cause of Death: Dad” in your death certificate. You’d stop at nothing to come back to life, wouldn’t you?
Jin: …Seiya-san. What’s the occasion? You came really early.
Seiya: Oh, I was doing a little exploring, since this place holds so many memories for me. I couldn’t walk around yesterday, on my first day, as I had other jobs scheduled.
Plus, I heard from my mother-in-law that “Hokuto had already gone out earlier this morning”… so I thought I could see him for a chat.
I predicted he would be practicing, being the studious boy he is, and I’ve been proven right.
Yes, yes. Having a light workout in the morning will make the rest of your day pleasant. It’s very advisable.
Hokuto: …Get out; I have nothing to say to you.
Seiya: Ahaha, I don’t believe that’s the correct way to speak to your parents. I don’t mind, but if this was my wife here, she would have cried saying, “Hocchan’s turned delinquent!”
Hokuto: Coming from that woman, I bet they’re just fake tears.
Seiya: I wonder? Turning lies and acts into the “real thing” is what makes a professional actress.
At any rate, as much as I love to ramble on about my lovable wife, it isn’t the focus of our current discussion, so I shall queue it for another time…
May I have a bit of your time now, you two?
Hokuto: I refuse. Get out and never show your face again.
Seiya: See? This is how cruelly he treats me, Jin-kun. Even though I love him so much.
Hokuto: You’re beyond shameless… Then prove your words with actions. “I love you” has no weight coming from you.
Seiya: Yes. My analysis does suggest I also bear the fault of your dislike of me, but I wish you would be more cooperative.
Because we can better save energy that way… or perhaps you hate me because I say such things?
Hokuto: ………
Tumblr media
Seiya: Oh, you’re dripping with sweat, Hocchan… I’ll wipe it off for you. There, there ♪
Hokuto: Don’t touch me.
Seiya: How sad. Why do you resist so much? I used to change your diapers for you, Hocchan. Well, naturally I would have, being your father and all.
Hokuto: That was part of your duty as a parent. Stop bringing it up like I owe you for it.
Seiya: Yes. I have not fulfilled my obligations as your father too well, so I won’t demand any filial piety from you.
But I would be dejected to see you catching a cold after neglecting to wipe your sweat.
So please let me do this much, at least. My wife would keep you all to herself whenever she’s around, so I’ve always been disappointed I couldn’t get many of these moments with you.
Hokuto: Who cares. Also, tell Mother not to drape all over me in public the way you do. It’s embarrassing.
Seiya: Ahh, you still hold such human emotions. My wife and I have lost any feelings of shame over such actions long ago, through training.
Jin: Sorry to interrupt, Seiya-san… but do you need something from us? Or was this just an excuse, and you just wanted to show off your sweet quality time with your son all along?
Hokuto: I’m not having any quality time. He’s abusing me. This is power harassment.
Seiya: You know some quite difficult terms, don’t you? But well, Jin-kun, I can see where you’re coming from.
We'll be late for homeroom if we don’t hurry, and we teachers have morning assembly in the faculty office —
So I’ll be brief. A special DreamFest will be held in Yumenosaki Academy, starting from evening today until tomorrow night.
Ah, we have the approval of the executives, so you won’t be able to cancel it. I’m sorry.
Hokuto: A special DreamFest…?
Seiya: Yes. I studied this DreamFest thing yesterday — it’s a rather interesting toy.
I believe it can be applied to the actual idol industry with a little more polish.
Hokuto: …That’s like you’re saying the idol activities in Yumenosaki aren’t real.
Seiya: Oh no, I am not calling it “fake” or “for play”.
But it’s something like a trial, one that comes extremely close to actual experience. It functions well as a simulation of the idol industry.
No — experience is our working capital, so this must have been a mechanism somebody laid out to amass it.
Even with surgeons, how many people they’ve cut up has more significance than how many medical journals or books they’ve perused—correct?
Jin: Don’t look at me. I’ve given up on ever being a real doctor, so I can’t confirm nor deny it.
Seiya: Sports doctors and veterinarians are also real doctors, you know.
Speaking of which, you weren’t on good terms with your parents either, were you Jin-kun? There was even a period where they basically disowned you.
Jin: …Well, from the perspective of a highbrow doctor, idol work must’ve looked just like play.
Things got a little complicated and strained ‘cause I felt responsible over not being able to succeed my parents too.
We’re getting along nicely now, though.
Seems like they were genuinely worried for me back when I had those scandals. When I showed up at their home after retirement, they hugged me tight, telling me that “they’re always on your side!”, so…
Seiya: Ahaha. Because their delinquent son finally saw the light?
Jin: Nah, I wasn’t young enough to draw such a sardonic conclusion.
I was touched like a regular guy at how great it was to have a family. Cried some too. …Oh boy, it’s kinda embarrassing confessing all this in front of my student.
Anyway, we’ve gotten off track. It always turns out like this when I talk with you, Seiya-san.
Seiya: I’m sorry. Apparently, I’m not very good at holding conversations. One-way communication is acceptable enough as an idol speaking over a camera… I’m not used to conversing.
Returning to the main subject; I apologize for the sudden news, but this is just how things are… Rain-bows will be participating in the special DreamFest with us.

Same anon from before: Zach Tyler Eisen as Aang, Spencer Fox as Dash from incredibles, Macaulay Culkin, Jim Parsons, Greg Cipes as Beast boy, and Billy Crystal as Mike Wazowski
Okay, writing this soon after I woke up. I saw this last night but decided I'd save it for the morning so I can listen to the voices and stuff.
Zach Tyler Eisen... Hmm.. I can see that. Not much to say in how the characters match. I watched a compilation of Aang having savage come backs, which would fit for CK. He might be a kind soul, but he will roost you. Also there were some scenes of Aang's fight with Admiral Zhao, and I wanna say that CK would totally mess with his opponent in that way. His magic isn't the strongest, so if he can use his wit and cunning to use his enemy's attacks against him? He will. Also it's funny to mess with people trying to attack you. Overall, not my favorite pick, but I'll put it on the poll regardless.
Spencer Fox I had trouble finding a voice reel/compilation of. So I'm listening to a voice comparison video of all Dash's different voice actors. Before anything I can say that the energy of Dash definitely fits CK so I have some hope for this one. Both are energetic and fast as well as huge pranksters. Listening to all 3 voices of Dash (Spencer Fox for the first movie, Raymond Ochoa for Disney Infinity, and Huck Milner for the second movie) I'd say they're all pretty good. Just not as... I guess iconic as I want? It'd be difficult to pick just one of those actors for example since their voices sound so similar to me. (I mean, guess that's sorta the point) I guess I'd probably choose Raymond Ochoa over the other too as his portrayal seems to fit the most for CK. But also I need to keep in mind the voices people will know. People might be familiar with the Incredibles, but I'm not so sure about Disney Infinity.
Moving onto Macaulay Culkin, that's the actor for the kid in Home Alone right? I struggled finding a compilation of his acting, and in the end, the compilation I put in my queue to watch was just pictures of the boy. What I remember of the movie did have Kevin be a little trickster and if CK was left home alone, he'd definitely set up all those traps and stuff, regardless of if his house was being robbed by burglars or not. The thing is I don't recall Kevin speaking all the much in the movie. Something that goes completely against the loud and rambunctious CK.
OMG finally an actor I can find a voice compilation for on YouTube!! One I didn't know Jim Parsons played so many characters, two, I never noticed the guy who played Sheldon on The Big Bang Theory was the same person who play Oh from Home. He also had a small role on Pound Puppies? Omg who remembers Pound Puppies? I liked that show. Okay, back on track. Uuumm... Yeah I guess I can see it. Especially hearing him play more energetic characters like Oh or... Buddy the Elf? Okay apparently he played an animated Buddy and honestly it's a little weird seeing (or, well, hearing) someone else but Will Ferrell play Buddy, but Parsons makes it work. Though tbh, I think Parson is sorta with Zach for me. In the "Meh" area where it could work but I think there could be better candidates. If I can't hear CK's iconic "MWEH HEH HEH! ALL SHALL FALL BEFORE I, THE MIGHT KING OF COMICS!" in the voice after I've listened to some examples, then I'm less confident in considering. Okay, maybe not that line exactly, but it's important for me to hear something CK would say in the voice. Or envision CK saying something the voice actor's said.
Anyways, moving on. Greg Cipes was another I was able to find a voices compilation of. Cipes has voiced... a lot of animated comic book characters, and other animated charcters. However yeah I could see his portrayal of Beast Boy for CK. Loud, energetic, has the annoying younger brother vibes. I might have to listen to more examples of Cipes voicing Beast Boy specifically to get a better opinion. There's probably plenty of clips on YouTube for that though. I mean, I just need to search up Beast Boy Teen Titans Go and parse through stuff. Oh, also didn't know he played Michelangelo on 2012 TMNT. (... wait who played Mikey in RotTMNT?) ... okay now hearing his voice some more, yeah I can see it. On the poll it shall go! Alright who's last...
Ah. Billy Crystal. The first thing I think of is "Put that thing back where it came from or so help me!" While incredibly funny, the voice doesn't fit CK. Nor that line. That'd be something Chicago would say, and I already have a VA for my Chi-boy. (Thankfully.) Still, for the sake of integrity, I shall listen to more examples of the voice. I just doubt it's gonna be a fit. While Mike Wazowski is comedic and loud, that's where I see the similarities between him and CK ending. I don't see Mike as all that energetic and well, in a world of monsters, they all seem a little wacky and chaotic. (Though, couldn't the same be said of CK's world I guess?)
Okay. I probably should have enough to put up the poll now? Alex Hirsh, Nicky Jones, Greg Cipes... Okay maybe I don't have enough. I decided to drop Jeremy Shada, just doesn't fit well enough in my head.
I guess keep the head canons coming.

AI-Powered Crypto Faucets: Maximizing Rewards with Intelligent Automation
Tumblr media
Cryptocurrency faucets are named so as a metaphor for the actual faucets, which leak drops of water that subsequently fill the cup to the brim. The best crypto faucets reward your crypto wallet with smaller clumps of cryptocurrency, just like a leaky tap. Some tasks that bring forth this small reward include completing small tasks like watching the required video, clicking on the given link, watching given ads, sharing the given links, completing the requested captcha, taking up short surveys or quizzes, and so on. Some tasks request to refer friends too.
Despite these tasks requiring small time durations, automating them multiplies your rewards. Here is where AI automation turns handy. As you scroll down reading through this page, you shall know the handful of ways to maximize your crypto faucet rewards by powering them with AI. Just read on…
Need for AI in Crypto Faucets
AI or Artificial Intelligence has been carving a niche even in the crypto faucet world, which every best crypto faucet gradually begins to embrace. Implementing AI-powered bots is a boon to crypto faucet games as it bestows an elevated provision in filling your crypto wallet. Saving time in the face of maximizing profits has prompted the crypto faucets to seek AI’s intervention. 
How do AI-Powered Crypto Faucets Maximize Profits?
Interestingly, maximizing profits by employing AI requires patience while getting acquainted with its various existing methods. A few of them are discussed below.
Implementing the specifically developed simple algorithm to accumulate cryptocurrency automatically through faucets is the basic method. Some of these algorithms are free, while others are paid versions. These are programmed to receive cryptocurrency from various faucets automatically and are suggested to be the best of all other existing methods. A simple procedure of adding an extension or add-on to your browser does the anticipated task for you. Upon installation of this add-on, a specific application executes, taking the purpose forward.
The unique script which automates the specific role as a bot on the best crypto faucets websites is yet another method. The constraint here is all the accounts you use here ought to have the same email id and password. It’s quite safer to implement this, as the login credentials are automatically erased once the bot shuts down.
The faucet collector is the emerging faucet robot that is indeed powerful in accomplishing its task. It automatically begins to claim faucets and accumulates rewards onto your crypto wallet. This is automated, and it doesn’t expect you to feed in the captchas manually. An additional feature of faucet collector bots is the fact that they are customizable and can be used with ease.
The automated faucet bot is yet another way in which it navigates from one page to another automatically by merely accessing the faucet sites. However, this isn’t very profitable, as the time to gather crypto coins is too much.
There is something called faucet rotators which carry out the formerly discussed procedure semi-automated. It rotates the site you are in automatically. However, you must accomplish the activities to get your cryptocurrency reward. Despite this being profitable, it’s a little time-consuming.
The Downside of Employing AI-Powered Crypto Faucets
The only downside is the dissatisfaction among the advertisers who find the indigestible reality of their advertisements being watched by bots and not by humans. It disheartens them when they learn the hard truth that their cash is spent on bots and that their advertisements aren’t viewed by people, which would otherwise boost their business revenue. Subsequently, faucet operators tend to revise their pay rates and decide to lower them, which brings in fewer cryptocurrencies to your wallet, as against your expectations.
Fraudsters queue up here as well, although the methods incorporated here assure security. The modus operandi of these fraudsters is that they promise to pay you as you choose their faucets initially. However, eventually, they never keep up their promise upon completing the faucet activities.
Conclusion
Crypto faucets are undeniably the right choice if you are inclined to gather cryptocurrency for free without any initial investments. Owing to little rewards for each task, unless the value of cryptocurrencies shoots up unimaginably higher, there isn’t room to build castles in the air of becoming a millionaire overnight. However, it’s void of risks and stress in the journey toward learning about the most coveted cryptocurrencies. AI blending into crypto faucets is absolutely an added advantage.
Picking the right AI-powered crypto faucet methodology to suit your circumstances is what matters. This wise decision takes you to the top of the ladder over a considerable period of time since you begin crypto faucets. Therefore, this crypto faucet is the best option if your motive is to accumulate a considerable amount of cryptocurrency and to imbibe valuable information on blockchain technology. Happy AI-powered crypto fauceting!
