#thank you for using Ann :D

So @hejeksbs saw that post about fandom olds freaking out about IWTV stuff being posted on the AO3, and said they’re new to fandom and fandom culture and don’t understand. So congrats, Hejek, you’re one of today’s lucky 10,000. This is going to be a basic primer, but I encourage others to chime in with details. (Also, thanks for reminding me I need an Interview exhibit in the museum. I had that written down somewhere.)
So if you go back to the 1990s and early 2000s—the pre-AO3 digital years—you’re going to see an official disclaimer on just about every fic. These basically said “I don’t own anything here, please don’t sue me.” Some were quoted elaborate.
These started because of Anne Rice.
See, Anne Rice was, how can I say this nicely…an asshole? The day she died there were literally people posting crab rave and “Ding Dong, The Witch Is Dead” from The Wizard of Oz on Tumblr. Because before Harry Potter fanfiction was pretty frowned upon and you might get a C&D if you didn’t keep your head down properly, but Anne Rice.
ANNE RICE.
Anne Rice literally recruited her “loyal fans” to harass people who made fanworks. At least one person was doxxed to her workplace by rabid Ricers, and at the time fanfiction was taboo enough you could absolutely get fired for that. I was eleven and friends with someone who was 13 who’d just read Interview and drew this wonky I-am-a-kid-who-can’t-really-draw-yet-but-I-loved-this-SO-MUCH piece of fanart of Louis and Lestat, and she literally dipped off the internet because she got an extremely nasty “I’m suing you” threat from Rice. (Are you out there, Mercury000? It’s me, sailorsharon0722.)
Anne Rice did everything in her power to ensure there was no IWTV fandom at all. I’ve heard from people older than me that she used to host a “vampire’s ball” every year in New Orleans for her “loyal fans” but if you showed up and she felt your costume outshone her own, she’d make you leave. People didn’t dare so much as put “Lestat” and “fanfiction” in the same sentence.
And then, irony of ironies, when her reputation got so bad she was struggling to sell books, she…became a Christian and started writing Bible fanfiction to sell.
Yeah.
Over the years there were claims she’d changed her mind about fanfiction, but nobody ever had evidence to back this up. I even saw a dude on Quora claiming to be a close friend of hers saying we were all lying, and he got absolutely ratioed by fans going “I still have my C&D letter, you wanna fucking try again?”
Incidentally, I would like to point out that her attitude wasn’t uniform. It’s easy to say “that’s just how it was,” but Neil Gaiman has been around since the 1980s and has always appreciated fanfiction. Stephen King’s approach is “please tell me, to my face, that me explicitly writing about Cthulhu isn’t fanfiction” and otherwise pretty lassez-faire (he has no interest in knowing you’re writing fanfiction of his stuff, he just genuinely doesn’t care), and his first book was published in the early 1970s. Gene Roddenberry, creator of Star Trek, actually accepted submissions of fanfiction scripts DURING THE SHOW’S ORIGINAL RUN, at least according to popular lore. (@dduane, can you check me on this?) Mercedes Lackey—who’s 1980s-and-1990s fantasy royalty—has been asked on Quora about why she “changed her mind about fanfiction” and her response was “I never changed my mind, I just had to talk my publisher into accepting it. I’ve always been okay with it but I had to say no because of my contract.” Sure, Diana Galbaldon was out there comparing fanfiction to rape(????), but even among those who disapproved of fanfiction, Rice’s attitude and actions were extreme. And they persisted into the 2000s, too, with her egging on fans who harassed and sent death threats to a YouTube reviewer who didn’t like one of her books.
AO3 changed ALL of that.
AO3 said “here is our well-researched legal claim that fanfiction is legal, and if someone gives you shit about works you have posted on our website, our lawyers will represent you. You can post safely here. It’s okay. We got your back.”
Even so, the fear about Anne Rice continued. And can you blame people? This woman’s name held the same power in fannish conversations as “Voldemort.” (A moniker by which I’ve actually heard her called.) She all but destroyed the old guard, on purpose.
….and then a new generation of fans happened. A new generation that didn’t remember life before AO3, had never known anyone who literally had to move house to get away from Rice’s minions’ threats and harassment. I know we use “nature is healing” as a joke on this website, but really truly, that’s what happened here. She left charred tree trunks and bushes that were old-school fans and from their ashes tiny little 2010s-fans seedlings began to grow.
The thousand-odd fics you saw in those screenshots (which I feel I should clarify are from before the new show came out—a show that must have her turning in her grave, because she was absolutely adamant that all her vampires were STRAIGHT and if you thought otherwise you were DISGUSTING, and I hope she spins so hard her corpse combusts) are absolutely shocking to us older fans because it’s like staggering out of a nuclear wasteland and spotting a little garden with signs saying “free nuclear-illness medical services” and realizing it’s real. What the fuck, what the fuck, but also, holy shit y’all we’re so proud of you. YES. Keep going. Don’t let the witch get you down.
EDIT: I’ve been informed by someone in the notes that IT ACTUALLY GETS WORSE:
I’m not going to transcribe the whole thing because I’m on mobile and most of it is just bog-standard post notes, but what’s relevant is @theoriginalvelocipastor saying “OP forgot the part where she [Anne Rice] would take ideas from fanfiction.”
Like holy motherFUCKER this woman’s hypocrisy.

If you're doing izzy x reader requests I'd love to see something along the lines of reader killing someone for the first time either to keep Izzy safe or because someone threatened to kill him. With izzy just being shocked/honored that someone would do that for him and it makes him a little bit starry-eyed. Obviously if you're not vibing with this feel free to just use parts or ignore it all together 🖤 thanks for keeping the izzy x reader fics alive
Firstly, thank you so much for that last sentence—words like those motivate me so much more, and bring me so much joy! Thank you to all of you who have welcomed me with open arms, as I sorta feel like I arrived here out of nowhere!! I hope this one does your request justice; how could I ignore it, it's absolutely amazing! Enjoy the rest of your day or night, lovely stranger, and I hope you enjoy this as well! it brought me joy to write and I hope it brings you even more joy to read ♡
P.S. More longer fics coming soon, I promise! I'm still just dipping my toes back in to writing these, and I hope the lengths have been okay thus far! I may even revisit some of these first ones I'm writing down the line and elaborate upon them, if that's something you'd all be interested in.
Eternity | Izzy Hands x Reader
Warnings: death (not of a major character or reader!), mentions of blood, mentions of choking, brief violence beginning and escalating quickly, some language, kissing
Word count: 2755
There was one thing you absolutely dreaded that just seemed to come with the price of being a pirate, almost like a rite of passage—murder. You were lucky enough to have crew mates beside you with the exact opposite opinion to do your biddings for you because, let's face it, even if you didn't want the blood directly upon your hands, there were still people you thought deserved to die, for the safety of yourself and the crew. But the thought of seeing the life escape a person at your own discretion was a thought that absolutely haunted you. Even while sailing with Blackbeard on the Queen Anne you had managed to avoid such a situation. Still, you had always promised yourself that if it were absolutely necessary, you wouldn't hold it against yourself too much. You sighed at that thought, your face slumping into the palm of your hand as you finished your breakfast. Certain mornings, you preferred to rise earlier in order to avoid eating with the crew as much as you absolutely loved them, and Roach understood this, thankfully. Every night before you retreated to your quarters after Stede wove his bedtime tales, he would always discreetly pull you aside and ask whether you would be joining them in the morning and he was always prepared for either response, setting your meal at your usual spot at the table. This had been going on for quite awhile, and you always worried the crew would find out and then take it personally. But, no one ever had.
Though, you were confused as to why there was a second meal beside yours. You tried to eat as quickly as you possibly could in order to avoid whoever it was that might be joining you but of course, you were a smidge too late. Luckily for you, it was none other than Izzy Hands—for others, this would be an unlucky thing, but not for you. Never for you. You almost allowed yourself to smile at his appearance.
"What are you doing awake at this hour?"
"I could ask you the same thing," you shrugged as he sat beside you.
"Just haven't been liking starting my day with twats," he shrugged back, which earned a laugh from you.
"Am I included in that lot?" You couldn't help but tease him. He always acted annoyed when you did, but you saw right through his act.
"Fuck off," Izzy laughed quietly.
"Aww, I don't get the special treatment?"
"Why should you?" Anyone else would have thought Izzy was pissed off, but you knew better than that. He knew he was teasing you back, or at least, you hoped so. But you knew for a fact he wasn't really annoyed with you.
"Well, we go way back—don't we, Israel?"
Izzy chuckled. It seemed half-hearted, but you knew it was actually genuine, which warmed your heart that you could bring such sweet melodies out of him. "I suppose we do, yes."
"And I do all my chores before you even ask me to, and I get them done fast and still do a good job," you added, only sort of faux smugly.
"You want a sticker for that?" Izzy retorted.
"Wouldn't mind it," you laughed, sighing of relief as you did so. Out of the corner of your eye, you saw a smile almost spread across Izzy's usually stone-cold visage, like one of a marble statue. You couldn't help but smile yourself. "Sorry if I kind of rained on your desirably lonesome parade this morning."
"You didn't," Izzy replied nonchalantly, but you knew this was his way of saying he enjoyed your company. You knew him long enough to know that. "I'm glad it's you and not Stede fucking Bonnet."
You chuckled, your eyes rolling in addition. "Yeah. Could've been a lot worse. But, a word of advice—if you don't want to be stampeded by a starving group of "twats", we'd better get going in the next minute or so."
Izzy's eyes widened and he quickly downed the rest of his meal before disposing properly of whatever leftovers you both had. You protested for a moment, claiming you could toss your own remains away, but he insisted, only on behalf that it would make escaping a lot quicker. Once again you saw right through this. You had always found Izzy's funny ways of showing you that he cared about you endearing. You wouldn't trade any of it for the world, as ecstatic as you would be to really hear or see him express appreciation for you. You giggled as the two of you rushed out onto the deck—the sun had just risen, painting the sky a sort of orange and pink hue and birds could be heard singing from a distance, if you listened hard enough. It was breathtaking. it made waking up this early in the morning worthwhile. You looked over at Izzy, who seemed to be somewhat taken by such a sight, until his lips curled into an intentional frown.
"Izzy?" you asked, trying to snap him out of his thoughts. "What is it?"
"Oh," Izzy laughed breathlessly. "Nothing. Don't worry about it."
You didn't buy that for a second, but you also knew it wasn't worth your time or energy to press him. You knew how stubborn Izzy could be, and how because of this, he never wanted anyone else's help in any capacity. But he was more pensive than usual; something seemed to be plaguing him, and it plagued you knowing you would most likely never know what it could have been. Without another word, Izzy was out of your sight before you even noticed he left your side. You sighed, almost slumping against the railing. Cheering could be heard from the dining room, but you knew you would catch wind of whatever the excitement was in just moments. Before you could wonder any further, Olu and Black Pete rushed onto the deck to announce the day would be spent on land. You smiled to yourself, thinking perhaps you could get Izzy to join you on an endeavor or two. You rushed over to him with a hopeful glint in your eyes.
"Did you hear? We get a day off!"
"Oh, joy," Izzy mumbled sarcastically. "I should stay behind, watch the ship. Someone has to do it."
"But you did that last time," you pouted. "Come on, Iz. It could be—
"—What? Fun? I doubt it."
You sighed for what felt like a millionth time. You were almost out of breath, but you weren't going to give up this easily. If only you could show Izzy that the world held more wonders to behold, despite all that he had claimed to already have seen in all his years. Or maybe, just maybe, if he saw how much it would mean to you.
"Today is too beautiful a day to waste," you claimed, hoping so much that he would take the hint.
Izzy paused to ponder it. He craned his neck over to meet your eyes. "I suppose I could spare an hour or two."
You almost jumped for joy right there and then, but you only nodded in his line of sight, then allowing for a grin to dominate your expression as you walked away, ready to get off of the ship. Izzy followed behind, and the crew knew better than to follow just yet. Once the two of you stepped onto the dock, then everyone followed suit.
"Don't tell me we're going into some trashy tavern," Izzy grumbled quietly. This sort of surprised you—all these years, did Izzy fake enjoying all of the drinks he would get for himself, talking with others for hours at these establishments? You didn't necessarily adore it either, but Izzy never complained about it.
"I was thinking the pawnshop first, if that's alright with you?" you proposed. "I have a few things I want to get off my hands but don't want in the hands of just anyone."
"Better than what everyone else has going on," he shrugged. You led the way, seeming to know this place like the back of your hand even though to Izzy's knowledge, you had never been here before. But, what did he know of your life before the Queen Anne? He wished he knew more, but he didn't even know where to begin. Flat out asking you didn't seem like it was on the table, as happy as you would be to reveal anything he asked of you, and even happier to hear of his own life that existed prior. Without another thought of this, you led Izzy down a few winding paths until finally, you reached your first stop, not knowing it would actually be the last for the day. You rushed up to the door to hold it open for Izzy, a grin making its way onto your face once again, unknowingly.
"What do ya know, chivalry isn't dead," Izzy muttered but you saw the corners of his mouth rise. With this, you followed behind him, making sure to gently shut the door behind you. You reached into your pocket, revealing a small red velvet sachet. You waltzed right over to the oak countertop, revealing a few shining silver and gold rings and chains, the same smile still existing upon you.
"I can offer you quite a bit for these," the shopkeeper started. "But something your friend over there has interests me far more."
He pointed at Izzy's neck, which only made him self consciously clutch his cravat.
"I'm only offering you what's in front of you," you told the shopkeeper.
"And he isn't right in front of me?" he retaliated.
"You're saying you don't want any of this?"
"No," he sounded as if he were about to snap. "I want all this, and your friend's necktie."
"Well, you aren't getting it, I'm sorry," you spoke sincerely. "But I am happy to offer you any and all of this."
Before you knew it, the shop owner barged out from behind the countertop and planted himself right in front of Izzy's face. He began to undo Izzy's cravat himself while Izzy tried to swat him away, but you weren't going to allow this to happen. You made your way over and tried to pry him off of Izzy, to which you were slapped for trying to do so. You clutched your cheek, almost shouting in pain. Izzy and the owner's struggle was beginning to grow more violent and much more personal than it should have been, and you had never felt more helpless in your entire life. The shop owner had Izzy on the ground and began to choke him, and before you could think it through, you were on the floor, viciously grabbing this stranger by the collar, turning him to face you. You already had your dagger in your other hand and stabbed him right in the heart, wincing as you did so, as the blood spilled out onto his white shirt, and bits of it splattered across your own face. As soon as you were sure he was a goner, you released his body onto the ground. Your dagger slipped out of your hands as you rushed over to your Izzy to help him up. He wasn't ready to stand, you quickly realized, so you sat beside him and rubbed his back as he coughed and tried to regain oxygen.
"You're okay," you cooed, attempting to soothe the man before you. He couldn't muster a word, but he immediately locked eyes with you and his breath seemed to return to him. "You're okay," you repeated for the sake of no one but yourself this time, tears welling in your eyes and streaming down your cheeks.
Izzy looked at you with such a disbelief written all over his face. You, who used to shrivel into yourself at the mere mention of blood. You, who declared to never take someone's life unless absolutely necessary—oh yes, he recalled such a proclamation, loud and clear in the early days of the Queen Anne, and he remembered thinking it absolutely ridiculous. He remembered thinking you wouldn't survive a day bearing that mindset. Yet, you still persisted, and sailed the seas beside him for what felt like an eternity. Normally, Izzy would describe an eternity in such a way that it felt dreary and undesirable, but with you, an eternity was nowhere near enough. If he could, he would spend multiple eternities with you and it still wouldn't be enough. He looked at you as if you were the only other person in the world. Sometimes, he wished you were. Sometimes, he wished it could just be the two of you. Death had never been this close to meeting him, but now that it had, his mortality felt far too real, and his feelings towards you felt far too hidden. Even before this moment, every time the two of you were in close proximity to one another, his heart felt heavy with all of the tenderness he held onto for you, barely being able to contain it and his heart being warm almost felt concerning to him if it hadn't been such a pleasant experience. And it was a bit concerning to him that it felt nice. Especially in this moment, he knew he couldn't conceal himself much longer, not after you had been so willing to sacrifice someone else's life for his. He was honored that you went against your own word for him, of all people.
"Izzy, are you alri—"
Before you could finish your question, and perhaps say anything else in addition, Izzy's lips were on yours. He tried to wipe the blood off of you with his gloved hand the best he could as you kissed him back with such fervor, such longing. You had wanted this for what felt like an eternity. This was what you thought of every time Izzy walked into a room, and even anytime he wasn't close by. There were some moments you couldn't even be around him in fear that you would embarrass yourself and accidentally pour out your heart to him. You never thought this would be happening, you never thought Izzy would even fathom half of what you possibly felt for him, nor even feel any of the same ways. But with all the discreetly exchanged glances, the "accidental" brushes against one another, the excessive lingering while you did your tasks some days, the following your lead whenever you had those scarce days on land, even finding out from Roach the night before that you would be eating your breakfast alone the following morning, there was simply no way Izzy didn't return your sentiments, even if he wasn't quick to show it. Eventually, Izzy had to disconnect his lips from yours, almost gasping for air again. A giggle escaped your lips as he gently tucked a strand of your hair behind your ear, and he showed a smile that you had never before seen. You could have sworn your heart somehow gained a mind of its own and began doing backflips—how did it learn to do such a trick?
"I can't believe you did that for me," Izzy beamed, reminiscent of some sort of beacon or lighthouse.
You smiled sheepishly. "Are you mad?"
"The opposite, actually. I know your feelings about killing, and yet—"
"—It was worth it," you assured him, tracing patterns along the small of his back. "You are worth it."
Without another word as you both stood up, your fingers intertwined with his, the ungloved hand, and you slowly made your way back to the ship together, knowing no one else would be there to entice you into any antics. For a moment, it could and it would feel like you and your Izzy were the only two people in the world. You knew this moment wouldn't last forever, but it would already be one to cherish for the rest of eternity, and you hoped that now, you and Izzy could spend the rest of whatever that looked like together, thought it felt like you already have been. Only now, you could look over at him like he was your world, because he is, and not worry about what he would think. Now, he could hold you close to him and whisper everything he's dreamed of ever sharing with you since knowing you. Now, the two of you could truly share your love for one another beyond the end of time.

hello, could I ask for reaction hdcns for Anne, toma, nayuta, shiki when his s/o fem accidentally lets out a: wow how handsome :0 when she sees a random person passing by, but then she realizes that she said it loudly and tries to apologize to them, saying "but you are more so, love" :'D jeje , this all~ thank yuuu for your works *kiss on the forehead*
Anne Faulkner:
Anne’s not above admiring the beauty of others as long as they feel sufficiently loved by you, as in, you’re the type to deliver them compliments daily so they know exactly how you feel about them. They wouldn’t stop you from showering them in compliments after just because you were nervous about hurting their feelings, laughing it off and saying they were confident that you found them much more attractive than some random, handsome stranger.
Anne tells you to keep the compliments coming, a pretty smile on their face as they see how creative you can get and how many parts of them you can compliment. They wrapped their arms around you, talking about how sweet you truly were to think of their feelings even when it was over something silly like commenting on a stranger's look. They do say you better only have eyes for them, or else~
Nayuta Yatonokami:
Nayuta really wants to push that stranger off a cliff for some odd reason, pouting at you but not saying much of anything. It was embarrassing to admit that he got jealous from you simply complimenting another person, when it was clear your feelings for him were something much more special. Yet he still feels a sense of unease, shifting nervously when you started to compliment him as he almost felt like you were just saying things to tide him over.
Nayuta is still pouty even when you’re complimenting them and once you’re alone, he makes it known why he’s unhappy. You can only apologize so many times but you do understand why he’s upset, promising that you meant nothing by your comment. You wouldn’t do it again if it hurt his feelings like this, and he’s insistent that his feelings weren’t hurt, nobody would want their significant other looking at someone else while they were together.
Shiki Ando:
Shiki seemed to laugh it off but his eyes are downcast, his negative thoughts seeping through the barrier that he tried so hard to keep up. He knew that your comment was an innocent one, just a brief thought as the person walked by, and you’d probably forget all about it — but he wouldn’t. It made him worry that he wasn’t handsome enough for you, that maybe if someone nicer looking came along (with a better personality than his shy, awkward one) you might find yourself more drawn to them.
It does make Shiki happy to hear you say that he’s much more handsome, hiding the blush on his face as he mumbled you didn’t have to say that just to cheer him up. The more insistent you are the more introverted he becomes, always struggling to take compliments but especially now when you were trying to convey the true extent of your affection for him.
Toma Hikage:
Toma’s ears perked up at the sound of your comment, head turning to the person in question as he has you point them out. He had to admit you were right, not really bothered by you complimenting this person but finding he had a few judgments of his own to give. His skin could use a little work, and his hair was a little dull — he was only being harsh because he wanted all your attention and he knew that. Toma knocked his arm against yours, giving his perfect idol smile and asking what you might say about him if he was a stranger you randomly passed on the street.
Toma keeps smiling through your compliments because you know exactly what he likes to hear, knowing all his hard work in maintaining his pretty face was being properly appreciated. He hooked his arms with yours, telling you he wasn’t that upset or even jealous, because he knew you would never hurt him like that.

Could we please get general relationship headcanons for Ann, Makoto, Futaba, Haru, and Sumire (if you'll write for her) from Persona 5?
Power of LOVE!!!
Phantom thief girls x GN! Reader
relationship headcannons
notes: ima have to start naming p5 annons 💀. Also, THEY'RE MULITPLE?! Thank you for reminding me to add sumire and akechi to the clarification post btw
This girl WILL know your clothing size but by a simple glance and go "you want me to dress you?" You don't have to answer that question you WILL be bought clothes along with other things you like
She likes leaning into you, smirking a bit and whispering in your ear "we should kiss" "!" your face is as you turn around and look at her of course you give in using a book to cover the views of other students,Ryuji, or you'll just look at her shocked. Either way she still ends up satisfied one way or another
She likes when you come to shoots with her. Happy when she's posing and she just sees you throw a little thumbs up, it's always lifts her spirits.
She will not let you leave without her. You could be getting ready to go and she'd just "where are you going?" "Home, my mom called I told you" "take me with you!" "You're already home though" "Home with with you wait here lemme get dressed!" You had to explain to your mom the sudden guest
She's bragging about you. Alot. If she feels like she can't go a day without telling Ryuji "they made me breakfast I love them so much" she thinks of you so much it almost scares her when you tap her shoulder. "Ann?" "Yes my darling?" "." Ryuji looks at her "Why yes my dear" "oh my god" he burries his face into his arms leaning into the desk as you two continue to call eatchother affectionate names.
She probably has your dox from the school ids has been down bad since. It's way more obvious when you two start dating. "You're so soft just like what the Id shows" "excuse me?" "Oh- nothing"
study dates early on are her go tos, as soon as you two get more used to each other she's often on doing simple domestic things with you.
Will sneak around you when you're in shibuya you're not escaping. So when you turn around and see her thinking it's a coincidence it's suddenly a date. She would come home nearly collapsing but it's worth it
Tries not to ask much of you except when it comes to school one homework she KNOWS you didn't do it's over. "Did you do your science packet" "yea why?" "Good what's the answer to 2" "two uhhhh...d?" "...I'm comming over" "ITS JUST THE FIRST PAGE" you bond with Ryuji over this you two come to school after those nights with background music and look like you two about to crawl to class.
She WiLL cling onto you!! If you dare to go anywhere scary you will have to run with her added weight. She tries to run with you and then one ominous can shes weak in the knees, so you try to avoid scary things to the best of your ability
Its obvious she's gonna be dragging you to akihabara. New game came out? "HEY Y/N" "I'm already dressed" "YAY! RUNNING OVER"
She's 100% calling you a cringy name as SOON as you pick up. "Hey my pookie wookie smuckum baby shawty thingy nugget person human thing" "...." "DONT HANG UP"
She wants hugs forever stay with her!! You should sleep over!! You should stay on a call for her for an entire day. Yea she loves these little brain thoughts while you're terrified of them.
Forces you to match pfps on ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING. No matching pfps? You Hate her simple. "I wanna use this theme I found" "do it with me!! 👹👹👹👹" "chill with the emojis!"
Joker and Sojiro WILL run a check on you as soon as Futaba isn't there. You date her you must answer these dubious 5!! As much as the intense looks were exchanged turned to "wadya think" looks back and fourth little to say that approved
She's sending you everywhere with her! You're having dates every week and will almost straight up refuse to let her pay
Very affectionate and often likes showing pda, if you aren't much of a fan it's alright she'll be minimal with it or just stop all together. She does like laying her head on your shoulder while your walking together
Interested in watching shows you like and talking about them she's gonna come up to you and be like "you haven't watched this scene yet?" She doesn't spoil it but it's incredibly tempting to just to get your reaction.
She dosent insist but she loves hand holding in public. She tries not to squeeze too hard but your hands are so warm! When you initiate the hand holding it just makes it so much better.
Refuses to let you sleep in another room. If you so dare to say "you have the bed ill sleep on the couch" expect the very momment you drift to sleep to be lifted off the couch and with her to the bed. If you ever so dare to wake up and try to leave the girls gripping you tight "where are you going?" Her voice is so soft almost distracts from the fact you might need a doctor after this squeeze. "Stay here I don't wanna be left alone with all the plushies" she rubs her face into your back, seeing no other option you slept there.
She daydreams of you SOOOO much. It's crazy she thinks of you so much she finds It hard to focus. She'd think it's embrassing she thinks of you so much but then she'd imagine you brushing her hair to the side and going "you look wonderful today Sumire" girls brain just BOOM
If you'd ever dare to say you haven't eaten, she'll open her bento and offer a bit of it to you. "I don't see why you can't have some?" "Sumire...I don't like sausages" "don't worry there's rice" "you really don't have to"
She wants to try and play a sport with you. Don't wanna run? Table top tennis! Or maybe darts! She will need encouragement, but is super good
She likes asking out on just outings in shibuya to just "I'm watching my senpai's right now wanna see if they'll put their rivalry aside and be normal?" You go with her no matter the reason the only time this back fired was when akechi recognized you and tried to get you to settle if vegans eat animal crackers
She won't tell you when she has an issue that much. Unfortunately for her, you notice quickly hugging her or patting her head. She won't tell you, but she loves when you do this. It's comforting knowing she doesn't have to say a word and you'd be there

ROTI phone hcs, go!!!
Anne Maria:
The phone case is pink.
VERY PINK.
Pink & purple leopard print. I am right. You can’t fricking deny it
She has a phone string with purple and golden charms on it
It’s a pretty new model.
There’s a crack on the upper right corner.
She has trouble typing up the code with her nails, so she has Touch ID.
Her lockscreen is probably some bad pic of her and her gal pals or a great one of her and Vito
Her home screen is some dreamy purple background. Probably some clouds with tiny sparkles all around
Her ringtone… this one was hard. I don’t know any techno! I decided to go with like the one song I know, Evacuate The Dancefloor by Cascada.
She has a special ring tone for Vito, Everytime We Touch (also by Cascada)
She talks about the most unhinged gossip on the phone in public
Every contact is saved with a pretty emoji next to them (Jo insisted that if she HAD to have her name saved with a heart, it had to be the black one)
B:
…
…
Nah, kidding.
He has a clear phone case. Simple, but efficient.
His phone is pretty old, and he knows it inside out.
His phone has been through some shit, but the screen is somehow intact.
His Lock Screen is probably some pretty science-ish thing, like a butterfly nebula.
His Home Screen is just one of the default ones.
His ringtone (I don’t know why anyone would call him, but anyway) is some instrumental… I can’t come up with what he’d listen to tbh.
Absolute meme lord. Has a meme or a GIF for every occasion.
He has one alarm at 6:30 every day and never misses it (TEACH ME YOUR WAYS B)
Brick:
Black leather phone case. Dare to tell me I’m wrong. I am not.
His phone is absolute blasted. You cannot tell me there aren’t at least ten cracks. That man is a KLUTZ
These bullet points really show you who my favourite character is up until now
His lock screen and home screen are the same green army pattern background.
He changes the Home Screen to a picture he stealthily took of Jo
Old model.
iPhone? What is that???
His ringtone is absolutely awful. No song in mind, but Brick just sounds like someone with absolutely no taste in music.
Reveille is his alarm sound which goes off at 0600 hours every day. He’s also an adept at waking up with one alarm. Bro is always ready to seize the day
Talks ridiculously loud over the phone
Has absolutely no social media. He is nowhere
Cameron:
Bought a phone with the prize money
It’s one of his most prized possessions
His mom bought him one of those mom phone cases with the wrap in front (I don’t know how to word that correctly)
It’s black
His lock screen is a picture of a butterfly. Not just any butterfly! A Danaus plexippus (AKA a monarch butterfly - the orange and black ones with those little white dots)
His home screen is a picture of him with Mike and Zoey
His phone is a pretty new model. His mom was afraid it would overheat too much if he had an older one
His ringtone is You’ve Got A Friend In Me
He doesn’t need an alarm because his mom wakes him up every day
Dakota:
Pink,pink,pink!
Bubblegum pink!
She has a personalised pop socket! It has D written in gold and the rest is - you guessed it - pink
Her lock screen is a picture of her and Sam (cutie piessss)
Home Screen is her favourite picture of her
It’s the newest model (obvi)
Touch ID & Facial recognition for easy use
Has paparazzis on speed dial
Her ringtone is Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen
If you have some time, check out the music video. The last few seconds are PRICELESS
She has every social media app you can think of
She’s verified too!!
Uses emojis religiously. Always uses !! or ?? instead of a single sign
Dawn:
Got a phone solely to be able to give tarot readings over call
She gives the money she makes from it to associations
She has a clear phone case, but she put an upright Fool card in it
It symbolises innocence and free spiritedness
I looked it up on Wikipedia. Thanks Wikipedia (Henry Cahill would be disappointed)
It’s a decently old model, but she doesn’t plan on changing it anytime soon
Somehow always charged
Her homescreen and lockscreen are different pictures of her friends (both human and animal)
Has a ringtone, but she can somehow always sense when someone will be calling a few seconds before it starts ringing
It’s probably some New Age music (Gwen: 😖)
Always answers 3 to 5 business days after you send a message. It’s better to call her directly
Jo:
A simple black phone case
Her Lock Screen is just a black background with white text that says: “Why are you even touching my phone?”
Her home screen is literally the worst picture of Brick ever.
She always manages to catch him at the worst moments
He used to hate it, but he finds it endearing now
Again, you can really see who are my favourites rn
Her workout playlist goes hard!
Her ringtone is It’s My Life by Bon Jovi
She doesn’t have an alarm
Alarms are for chumps
You’ll die before you ever see her use an emoji.
There’s a few cracks around the lower corners
It’s a miracle there aren’t more considering how much it falls while she runs
Her voice mail says: “It’s Jo. Just don’t call me.”
Lightning:
Newest model. There is no way he isn’t one of those people who change phones every time a newer one comes out
Has a personalised phone case.
It’s a blue one, with yellow lines, his jersey number and his name
Both the Home Screen and Lock Screen are pictures of him
As it should, king!!
His workout playlist is also great
He listens to Brick’s music recs too much though, so it’s not as good as Jo’s
Only sends voice messages
Sends every sports video he ever sees to Jo and Brick
Jo nearly blocked him because of it
Has an awesome group chat with the rest of his football team
Again, my favourites really show
His ringtone is Moves Like Jagger by Maroon 5
Thought Jagger was a football player for the longest time
Mike & Co.
Mi: Black phone case so the system won’t go crazy
Mi: His Lock Screen & Home Screen is a picture of him and Zoey
The System: Writes out entire convos in the notes app
V: Everytime he’s in control, he changes the Home Screen to a picture of him and Anne Maria
V: He also calls her every single time
Cutie pie
V: voice messages are his thing
V: definitely dropped it a dozen times. It’s cracked all over.
S: Follows every gymnast you can think of on social media
S: She’s the reason Mike has a Russian keyboard too
S: Her and Simone Biles are literally besties
S: Forced him to install Duolingo to learn Russian
Mi: He makes her learn Italian
MS: Tries to install dating apps every time he’s on the phone
MS: Searches for “Single Women In The Area” way too many times for it not to be concerning
Reminder: He’s married.
MS: Mike changed the password and no one can tell him what the new one is
C: “Alarms? Back in my day, we woke up with the sun!” *disables it*
C: Also doesn’t know the new password
Ma: Are you kidding? Obviously doesn’t know the password.
Ma: Guessed it once, and changed Mike’s ringtone to fart sounds
Mi: The original ringtone was Under Pressure by David Bowie & Queen
V: Likes to change it to Ice Ice Baby because Mike won’t notice it instantly
Ice Ice Baby <3 Thank you Laurie Elliott
Sam:
A Mario phone case. No other option.
His Lock Screen is the same as Dakota’s
CUTIE PIESSSSS OMG I LOVE THEM SO SO MUCH ASIDHDHS
*cough*
Anyways, his Home Screen is probably some game related Easter Egg.
Not an actual easter egg jic someone gets the wrong idea
His ringtone is Jump Up Superstar by The Living Tombstone
My personal fav version is the one by VGR
It’s a pretty new model
Dakota offered to buy him a newer one but he said it wasn’t necessary
It always has a low battery percentage so he carries a charger everywhere
Definitely a moderator on a few gaming rated subreddits or Discord servers
A lot more low-key than his gf on social media
They have matching profile pictures
Scott:
His phone is a hand me down
It’s so old it’s nearly a family heirloom
Dude doesn’t have a phone case
It SHOWS. His phone is beat up.
His lockscreen is a photoshopped pic of his sister’s head on the body of a donkey.
They’re each others biggest hater
His homescreen is just a big pile of dirt.
It always reminds him of home.
I’m having so much fun with this one you have no idea
Scott and Jo have the most insane Twitter beef I swear
There’s a Tumblr account dedicated to it.
Scott also has several fan accounts (all ran by me lmao)
His playlist is absolutely insane.
The only Kanye songs I listened to are Monster & American Boy - because he’s awful - and they’re both 10/10 songs I fear
Scott actually has an amazing taste in music
Dude probably loves Whistle
I hate to admit it but it’s a good song
His ringtone is Right Round by Flo Rida & Ke$ha
Staci:
Phone case is light blue.
Both backgrounds are family photos
The family group chat is crazy
She makes it her job to alter Wikipedia articles every weekend
Her calendar is full of family functions
Her ringtone is Beautiful atiful Liar by Beyoncé and Shakira
Unfortunately her music taste is great too
Her voice messages are infinitely long. So are her voice mails
Multiple people from Total Drama (Jo and Scott) have her blocked
Zoey:
Her phone case is clear. She slipped a Polaroid photo of the Revenge cast inside
She made her phone string herself. It’s full of cute charms like little mushrooms, flowers, ladybugs, leaves…
Her Lock Screen is a cute (and slightly goofy ) picture of her, Cam and Mike
Her Home Screen was a group selfie taken on a girl’s night she had with the Revenge girls. Jo has her middle finger out - it was painted black at Dakota’s insistence-, Dakota and Anne Maria are posing while Dawn and Staci have each other in a half-hug and Zoey is taking the picture and doing a peace sign
I should draw that sometimes…
Anyway, Zoey is definitely an avail emoji user too. Also kaomojis (/*•*)/
Her ring tone is Take Me Away by Christina Vidal
Freaky Friday anyone??
She posts the cutest pics on social media
Tries to defuse the Jo/Scott beef
Fails, miserably

POTO Fics by Mertens
More than any other Phantom of the Opera fic writer, I find myself consuming Mertens’ works over and over for the pleasing writing style, the complex emotions, and the raw and realistic portrayals of Christines in particular. Mertens’ writing is how I also got into modern AUs!
I’ve never done any rec list for this fandom so let’s start with my fav fics from @intothemertensverse! (Hi there! Thank you!)
Gustave Daae’s Daughter: A disfigured man on the edges of society with a good heart, Erik has been Gustave Daae’s closest friend for years. When Gustave realizes his time is almost up after contracting an incurable disease, he leaves his two most prized possessions to his friend—his violin, and his daughter. In progress as of 01/09/2023. If you’re not reading this then honestly what do you actually do with all the hours of your life? Some big surprises in this one. Featuring Ayesha and also Angst with a capital A.
A Love There Is No Cure For from Sonnet 86: A fic of epic proportions but it can be read independently of the larger verse it’s in. Major Leroux influences, and follows the SLOW BURNING journey of how Christine’s grumpy old insecure teacher became the happiest man alive (including all the very awkward sex). Mertens’ masterpiece.
An Old Fashioned Love Song: After an incident results in Christine needing to fulfill community service, she volunteers at the local old folks home where a chance meeting with a resident will change both of their lives forever. Cranky 80-year-old disabled Erik? I love this little goblin so much. You will too.
Saved From Solitude: Feeling anxious and unable to sleep in his own house, Erik spends the night in Christine’s dressing room to get some much needed rest. He’s certain Christine will never find out—as long as he wakes up on time. Erik may seem tall, dark, and imposing, but he’s actually the sweetest sleepy old man with a cane. I want to tuck him into bed myself. Bonus total BAMF Christine!
Scuffle in Box Five: The Ghost had requested that Box Five be kept empty, but on the night of Mlle Daae's first performance, Box Five is most certainly not empty. There is popcorn in this fic and it just makes it ten times funnier.
And Ask Me To Open Up The Gate For You: Christine Daae has tried every trick in the book to achieve the clear complexion she so desires, and all without result—every trick, that is, except for one. She can’t do it on her own, but perhaps her beloved Maestro will be able to lend his assistance in the matter. In progress as of 01/09/2023. This one is so innovative and different! POTO London Christine Alternate Holly Anne Hull’s Instagram Story had a callout for long-term acne solutions, and turns out a few people told her to go get pregnant to achieve clear skin :D
First Impressions: Erik takes Christine to his home and the cape flip goes awry. BLESS YOUR HEART ERIK!!!
Just Us Two: The day after the performance, Christine spends the day with her son, just like she promised. A beautiful, poignant continuation of Love Never Dies focused on mother and son.
Like Everyone Else: Mr. Y has cracked the code of blending in to society. At least, he thinks he has. LND-inspired crack. Just hysterical. Honestly how could anyone argue against Erik moving to New York, it’s plot-powering gold!
Mr. Y’s Christmas Surprise: Erik accidentally and inadvertently invents the ugly Christmas sweater. SEE COMMENTS ABOVE
Joyeuses Pâques (sans masque): Erik tries to celebrate Easter with his family on Coney Island—and what better way to celebrate than with a visit from the Easter Bunny? Guys just a reminder that Christine moved across the ocean to live with this guy, so.
My Three Eriks: Erik doesn’t actually speak in the third person. OR “What do you mean James Gant and James Hume aren’t the same person” Shit gets too real in the lair, and it’s laugh out loud funny.
The Nanny: College dropout Christine Dee lands what appears to be a dream job in taking care of a reclusive rich man’s seven year old boy. As she settles into her new life, however, she discovers a mysterious secret about her boss’s former wife that threatens to unravel everything. Modern AU. Definitely Gerik. Very relatable and insecure Christine. Very funny too. It’s a thrilling murder mystery and it’s very hard to stop reading once you start.
Baby Shark: Erik is haunted by a certain song his neighbor is playing. Modern AU. I thought this was going to be a crack!fic but I was profoundly moved by it. Both Erik and Christine are a hot mess. A very refreshing take!
Honolulu Sun: After two years of relative isolation during the pandemic, Christine is a little chattier than usual with a strange masked man in the grocery store. I’m more than a little bit obsessed with this one. Give me all the Gustave Sr./Erik bonding!!!
Boulevard of Broken Dreams: Wealthy Opera Populaire patron Raoul de Chagny has been kidnapped and the Opera managers have been receiving threatening letters regarding emerging star Christine Daaé. Private Investigators Erik and Antoinette have been called in to get to the bottom of what's going on, which means they'll have to be keeping a close eye on the safety of the young soprano. It really is a shame, then, that Erik seems to hate Christine who in turn seems horrified of Erik - but things aren't always what they seem. Film Noir AU. Big sweeping fic. Angles that haven’t been explored before. And an Erik that deserves to be seen!

Humans are weird: In the line of duty
( Please come see me on my new patreon and support me for early access to stories and personal story requests :D https://www.patreon.com/NiqhtLord Every bit helps)
The bulkhead slowly rose and Feneci walked on to the command bridge with her film crew. It wasn’t the most ideal of jobs she had been tasked with over the years but it was proving to be one of the most taxing.
She was never fond of interacting with humans and when she had been told by her editor that she would be covering the evacuation convoys from the Temeril homeworld onboard the human cruiser “Queen Ann” she had rightly protested. Humans were known to be suspicious and untrusting of new comers and she had felt as much when she and her crew had first set foot on the ship as it escorted Temeril ships to their refugee locations.
The human’s never said anything openly to her or her team. They treated them with respect and answered all of the questions they were able to; yet there was always a lingering presence in the air that radiated off the general crew that Feneci couldn’t help but summarize to be a general disdain. To them this ship was their home and she was an outsider that had been forced upon them to raise awareness for the ongoing crisis. This feeling thankfully was not shared with the ship’s captain who Feneci had finally been able to secure an interview with.
“Welcome, Ms. Feneci.” An old human in a captain’s uniform stated as the bridge crew parted to let him through. Unlike the other humans he radiated no such ill intent and his smile appeared genuine. He held out a hand for Feneci who took it to shake in standard human greeting rituals.
“Captain Amar, thank you for sparing the time to meet with us.” Feneci replied. “I know you must have your hands full with the evacuation efforts.”
Captain Amar released his hand and straightened out his uniform before motioning Feneci and the camera crew to follow him to the captain’s chair. The chair was situated at the back of the bridge so that the captain could observe the on goings of his entire crew but not higher to give the impression he was lording over them.
“You give me too much praise.” Captain Amar replied as he sat down in his chair. Feneci sat opposite him as the camera feed went green to show the recording had begun. “The real praise should be given to the Temeril’s for organizing an evacuation so quickly.”
“There are those, including some within the Terran government itself, that have stated that the entire evacuation process is unnecessary; that the Temeril homeworld could have been saved had the adequate tectonic stabilizers been deployed.”
Feneci looked down at her data pad for the notes she had written for this interview. “They say the cost of the stabilizers would have been a fraction of what this fleet of ships is now running.”
Captain Amar rocked side to side in his chair as if debating internally how to respond to this statement. After a moment to collect his thoughts he replied. “It is not for me to question the policies of my government, but I can assure you that having seen the Temeril homeworld from orbit adding a few tectonic stabilizers would have only delayed the inevitable.”
“You are an expert in seismic theology?” Feneci countered, hoping to catch the captain in a trap of words.
“I’m afraid I never had time for such studies,” the captain admitted, “but from high orbit I saw a lake of fire the size of a continent appear in the span of three days; consuming everything it touched like a gapping maw of some great beast of old.”
The captain shook his head regretfully. “The Temeril homeworld would become their tomb had we not come to assist with the evacuation and soon to be relocation effort to a new homeworld once we have finished establishing a colony on Techlon V.”
Feneci waved her hand around the bridge. “Since when does evacuation and relocation efforts require military escorts?” She held out a pad for the captain to see. “By our recent count there are at least five military grade vessels in this convoy alone, including this ship we’re on right now which is a cruiser class no less.”
For the first time the captain looked uneasy. “We have received recent reports of marauders operating in the area; preying on isolated ships or small convoy’s to steal either their ships or the passengers onboard.”
This was an actual shock to Feneci. Not only had she not heard any of these reports before, but she was surprised that the human captain would reveal it so freely.
“Was this information made public to the Temeril’s?” she asked, to which the captain shook his head.
“At the time there was a concern that many would instead seek to remain on the planet when faced with the potential danger in space that the marauders posse.” Captain Amar admitted. “As such it was felt that only after the trip was underway would this information be released.”
“Do you have any idea how deceitful that is?” Feneci pressed. “You intentionally withheld vital information from these people!”
Before the captain could reply alarm bells rang out around the control room. Bridge crew that had been ideally listening to the exchange scattered back to their terminals and sounded off their findings.
“Unknown cluster of contacts approaching from the rear of the convoy,” the scanner officer sounded off, “twenty minutes until they’re on us.”
In a flash the captain was up from his chair while Feneci bade her camera crew to continue filming. This would only further highlight the mismanagement the humans had over the convoy as a result of her report.
“Unidentified vessels this is Captain Amar of the Terran Alliance,” Captain Amar stated with authority, “you are approaching a evacuation convoy from the planet Temeril under our protection; identify yourself.”
There was no reply save the resounding pings from the scanner terminal indicating the unknown ships location. The communication officer shook his head and looked back at his captain.
“Full spread across all channels.” Captain Amar stated and the communication officer replied in kind.
“I repeat, this is a Temeril evacuation fleet under the protection of the Terran Alliance; you will identify yourselves at once.”
Once more silence.
“They’ve increased speed, ten minutes to contact.” The scanner officer called out.
“Escorts two and three, break off from the convoy and intercept the approaching vessels; and send word to Terran command we will need reinforcements.” A tactical hologram appeared above the bridge showing not only the formation of ships in the convoy but the approaching craft as well. At the captain’s command the two mentioned escort vessels began pulling away and set course to meet the unknown vessels.
“Escort three is asking for permission to engage if provoked.” The communication officer called over his shoulder looking at Captain Amar. The captain paused to consider his next steps before replying “Permission to engage only if fired upon first; we don’t know if these are the raiders we heard about or some convoy ships that were late to the party.” The officer nodded and relayed the order to the escort ships.
Feneci watched as the two opposing forces drew closer until finally they were right on top of each other when suddenly the coms channels were alive with chatter.
“This is escort two, contacts are not friendly! I repeat, they are not frie-“
The transmission was cut off half way as Feneci watched the marker for the second escort ship vanish. Captain Amar slammed his fist into a nearby terminal leaving an indentation.
“Escort three break off and rejoin the Queen Ann;” Captain Amar barked, “escorts four and five form up on us as well. Keep them away from the convoy at all costs.”
This time Feneci felt the entire ship lurch beneath her feet as the engines powered on and the ship began to turn around. Another round of pings came from the scanner terminal.
“Another twelve contacts just appeared and they’re heading right for us.”
“Clever bastards.” Captain Amar remarked as he took up his command chair once more. “They sent a small force ahead to gauge our numbers. They must think we’re easy pickings if they’ve fully committed now.”
“How far until the convoy reaches the jump point?” the captain called to his scanning officer.
“They need thirty minutes to reach the edge of the system before they can make the jump.” was his answer. Feneci added the time in her head and the raider fleet would easily reach them before they could escape to the jump point. The convoy would either be captured or destroyed dealing a crippling blow to the Temeril people.
“Ms. Feneci, I believe you should make for the hangar bay, get on your shuttle and head back to the convoy at once.” Feneci turned to see Captain Amar addressing her directly. “I can no longer guarantee your safety and this ship is about to enter into combat; we will buy as much time for the convoy to escape.”
“You’re not seriously going to fight them are you?” Feneci found herself asking despite herself. From the tactical hologram it looked like a swarm of red angry dots was rushing them while a thin blue line of Terran ships stood between them and the convoy.
“We were entrusted with the safety of this convoy and the Terran Navy has never shirked its commitments before.”
With that the captain turned from the reporter to focus on the battle at hand while a pair of naval guards stepped forward to escort the crew to the hangar. The last sight Feneci had of the captain was of him directing targeting orders as the first barrages of incoming fire impacted the shields.
-------------------
On this day during the stellar year of 2573, a small Terran fleet under the command of Captain Amar Jabal protected an evacuation convoy of defenseless Temeril’s from a horde of marauders.
Outnumbered three to one, Captain Amar did not hesitate to engage the enemy fleet to buy the fleeing Temeril’s enough time to escape the system safely. The battle was fierce and uncompromising as both sides dueled it out in the void of space with the brave human captain using every trick in his book to keep the enemy focused on him.
Moving his ships in close to threaten the enemy carriers, the vile fiends were forced to keep their fighter wings close at hand to defend their carrier ships rather than chase down the fleeing innocents.
When presented with the overwhelming power of his flagship, the cruiser “Queen Ann”, the raiders found that alone they could not pierce through the mighty shields of the vessel and were likewise pinned in place engaging it lest they be picked off one by one.
But as the battle unfolded the Terran fleet lost many of its ships as they heroically held the line until only the Queen Ann remained.
With her decks breached in a dozen places, weapon systems damaged beyond repair, and her communications cut from the rest of the rescue fleet that was already on their way at max jump speed; the Queen Ann defiantly rammed the enemy flagship and detonated her jump drive in a final act of defiance. The resulting explosion and shower of debris crippled the few marauders that remained leaving them unable to continue their barbarous hunt against the Temeril’s which had safely made it to their own jump points and fled the system.
When the Terran relief fleet finally arrived in system they found a dozen survivor pods from the Queen Ann that had jettisoned from the vessel moments before the captain had initiated the ramming maneuverer.
The surviving crew stated that the captain had ordered all hands to abandon ship and that he alone remained to initiate the final act against his enemies stating:
“It has been an honor to serve alongside each and every one of you. You have done the Terran Navy proud, so hold your heads high in the days to come.
As for myself, it makes a poor captain that does not go down with their ship; and I will be damned if I let these bastards make my Ann into another trophy in their motley fleet of vagabonds and cowards.
Look for me on the horizon when you reach the solar seas of the afterlife.”
In honor of his sacrifice, it has been announced that the new Temeril colony known previously as “Techlon V” is to be renamed to “Amar Prime” and that the Temeril people have already put forward an application to join the Terran Alliance.
Reporting live from Amar Prime this is Feneci Jubal.

Okay same thing with Anne Maria but Heather, mean girl is so pretty.
Thank you so much (I loved the last one so much!)
OMG YESSSSS ur literally inside my head i swear <3 mean girl,,,, (also im gonna go w/ like s1 Heather since that dynamic seems the most fun to me :D )
Heather x f!reader where Heather isn't used to a girl crushing on her
Okay, let's be honest, Heather would act like it didn't phase her for the longest time
Like her "of course she likes me. I'm hot asf" mentality yk
She's a bad bitch she's gonna act like one
Okay with that out of the way
You've fallen for her
HARD.
Like, yeah, she's kind of a bitch to everyone around her and is extremely manipulative
But in your head, you could fix her (or decide you like the atrocities. either way, you love her.)
Really, it starts off relatively small. Your main displays of affection towards her were staying out of her way and just admiring from afar
Not close enough to be manipulated like Beth and Lindsay, but not far enough to be completely shit on like Gwen or Leshawna.
But slowly, it develops a bit more where you're just
"Oh no. It's not a simple crush anymore I think I really really like her"
So now, she is starting to recognize your presence within the game
You defending her whenever the other campers get on her ass
Never voting for her
Stumbling through your words everytime she talks to you
This is basically all it takes for her to notice that you like her more than in a friend way. Let's be clear, she's NOT dumb.
At first, she thought she could use it against you to get you out, but something about that idea seemed "illogical" to her
Heather decided that you'd be better to keep around instead of getting rid of you too early
Rookie mistake.
She may or may not start catching feelings back in the meantime
The way that you're willing to stand your ground against the other campers, the way you are pretty competent in challenges, not to mention the fact that you are somewhat bearable.
And, being Island Heather, she has no one she will willingly vent to besides the confessional and she did NOT want the people at home knowing a vulnerability of hers
So the gay thoughts™ stay pent up and attack her like crazy
This is when she starts to think that she NEEDS to get you voted off
You are messing up her game and by God if she loses that prize money just because the most attractive girl she has ever met is on this island she will just about murder someone
Any move you try to make on her from this point onward will be ultimately thwarted since she will make the most distance between the two of you as possible
Everyone else had seemed so EASY to get voted off, but you. You were just too perfect in her eyes. She couldn't think of any possible weakness that she could use to get you voted off and it was driving her insane
There is no happy ending here unless you get voted off I'm sorry. It's just her character to not positively commit to anybody while also participating on the show
But once you do get voted off
Her game on the show would only improve. Her only motives being the money and getting to see you again
She doesn't get the money
But you end up being the only person who doesn't laugh at her shaved head and that only allows the two of you to grow closer
(I'm so sorry if this is worse than the usual imagines i write </3 im kinda out of practice AS YALL KNOW qwq)

mod ripperrr can you give us a little taste of your TD takes? i’m very curious like do you have fave seasons/characters/ships/headcanons/etc
I have ALOT of opinions on this show here’s a summarized version of it lol:
First off, I don’t think I have a favorite season. I know it’s a cop out, but the only season I can fully say I didn’t enjoy is All Stars (scalding take, I know). The rest kind of switch places in what’s my favorite.
In no particular order, my top ten characters are: Ripper (obviously lol), Leshawna, Ezekiel, Scarlet, Anne Maria, Leonard, Lightning, Tyler, Damien, MK, and Zee.
Pretty much any Lindsay ship is at least A-Tier (lyler, lindsbeth, and Lindsay x Sadie have my whole heart), I also think that 95% of reboot ships are rlly good (mkulia, chipper, ripaxel, nichayne, rajbow, and prillie being my faves). Just to list off some more I like: nowen, gwourtney, jomaria, justzeeke, scamy, lesharold, and harzeeke are all really high on my list :D I have at least positive-leaning neutral feelings on most TDI ships tho. If I had to choose a least favorite character I think it would be a tie between Mal and Blaineley. Blaineley just feels like a useless character who could’ve been cut and would’ve changed. She was fine when she was just a character that showed up during the Aftermaths, but I couldn’t stand her as a contestant. With Mal, I feel like he was such a wasted character and he represents almost everything I hate about All Stars.
For general headcanons:
Sierra was online friends w Priya’s parents and they were SEETHING w jealousy when she got on the show.
Justin has a horrible fear of public speaking. Most of his job consists of just sitting there and looking pretty, but he’d throw up if he had to give a speech to a group of more than four people.
Leonard texts using emoticons and he adds little wizard hats to them. For example: <|:) <|:0 <|>:(
That’s all the stuff I can think of off the top of my head :P thanks for taking interest!!

how do you animate? ive always wanted to but idk where to start, any advice? love your art btw
thank you!! i Love encouraging people to learn to animate it seems daunting at first but once you get the hang of the basics you can basically do anything
i Started learning animation by not even animating, i just would rewatch all the original animaniacs skits animated by tokyo movie shinsha over and over again and go through them frame by frame to study the timing and movement on any shots i liked, timing is probably the Most important part of animation and a lot of it genuinely just comes down to intuition, so it's good to get into the habit of studying any animation you like frame by frame, i Still do this all the time [usually just for fun but also to use as actual tangible motion reference in whatever i'm working on, for example i learned to animate lightning effects from hunter X hunter and i learned to animate floaty bouncy movements from perfect blue]
BUT i'm getting ahead of myself, basically it's good to study animation you like before jumping right into actually animating, but that won't do you any good if you don't understand the fundamentals!! this also gives me an excuse to do a warmup for once which i usually skimp out on [<-hack fraud]
the first thing ANY animation class will teach you is The Dreaded Bouncing Ball [<-i actually like animating balls][<-intentional euphemism], because it's both simple And teaches you really essential basic animation skills such as A) motion, in general B) timing C) how timing sheets basically work, and occasionally D) squash&stretch!
you'll sometimes see animators draw charts with a bunch of lines off in the corner of a page, that's basically an old-timey timing sheet! each dash on the line indicates how many frames for a particular movement; for example, the top ball bounce has more frames bunched up at the top where it moves slowly, less frames when it's moving fast
if every motion you animate uses the same number of frames to do any movement, it'll look weird, because nothing in real life typically moves like that. you can demonstrate this in real life by just moving your hand in front of your face from one side to the other really fast; you won't see it in the middle, because that's where it's moving the fastest. this is basically where the principles for smear frames comes from!
the second thing they teach you in animation school is flour sacks so really animation is just all about nothin but balls and sacks
but the flour sack exercise is slightly more complicated so my advice for Getting STarted really ends here. once you have the hang of bouncing balls, you can apply those principles to things like character animation; some of the first "character animation" type things i ever animated when i was first learning were just really quick expression changes and flinching. this also teaches you about anticipation and what richard williams [author of the animator's survival kit highly recommend seeking out a PDF of that, he also was animation director on who framed roger rabbit and he made thief&the cobbler, he also animated some sequences on the raggedy ann&andy movie] calls Takes&Accents
this is a Really Really simple way to get started on character animation, this is only four frames! a lot of really bouncy-looking anime tend to animate their expressions pretty much exactly like this. you can always add more frames to make it smoother or more expressive, sometimes you'll also see an "anticipate up" frame before the "anticipate down", but remember the Timing is key so if you're adding more frames, try not to shift the timing too much or it might look awkward
OK i have spend like two hours typing this up instead of actually working on what i was supposed to today LOL i hope this helped at all if you have any more questions ever feel free to ask i Love talking about animation
OH ONE MORE THING!!!! i started learning animation in adobe animate [the software that was formerly Flash] but it SUCKS!!!! DON'T USE ADOBE ANIMATE!!!! i currently use a pirated copy of toonboom harmony which is THE industry standard 2D animation software and also just the best art program i have ever used in general, but it is CRAZY expensive that's why i pirated you can also invest in a perpetual license for clip studio paint pro or EX, but pro only lets you use 24 frames Total on a timeline and EX is like two hundred somethin dollars, OR i've heard decent things about procreate dreams? which is a mobile app IDK if it has a desktop version but i think it's only like twenty bucks
OK good luck have fun everyone please enjoy animating
#animation#tutorial#art tutorial#sorry this is so long i got crazy carried away i just love the medium of animation so so much and want to encourage more people to get into#it it's not that scary i promise!!!! i KNOW it seems scary to start i only started learning myself like three years ago cuz i was too#intimidated to get a headstart until in an actual classroom setting#and then it turns out art school is a scam and my school in particular sucks dick at teaching anything so all this i basically taught mysel#it's like driving it seems like the scariest shit ever but then once you actually start learning it's not that bad#[<-says the guy who still doesn't have his license at 23 cuz he had recurring nightmares about car accidents for eleven years]

Granada | Chapter 8
Previous chapter | Next chapter
Masterlist
"I can't wait to move to the summer palace. And to think it's always been there and we hadn't seen it!" Anne said.
"They've probably made fun of us for being so clueless."
"Didi would never do that."
"Didi?" Rowena laughed.
"Yes, Didi. That's how I call him" she smiled.
"Well, I'm sure Ruru has made fun of me. He does it all the time."
"Oh, but that's part of your constant game of teasing the other. It's your way of saying I love you."
"I don't love Rúben."
"Of course you don't, Roro. Of course you don't" Anne smirked.
"What is that noise?" Rowena asked, trying to change the topic of conversation.
"Men shouting?"
"And fighting. Come" she said, grabbing Anne by the arm and making her follow her.
"Go, Prince Diogo!"
"To your right, Rúben!"
"Harder! Harder!"
"Rowena…"
"I know, Anne. I know" she replied, her eyes fixed on what was going on in the middle of the circle of men.
The two princes were fighting against each other, and they were doing it shirtless, their torsos and arms covered in sweat, their hair a complete mess. And it was… it was like nothing Rowena had seen before. Rúben was like nothing she had seen before.
She had got used to seeing him shirtless, but it wasn't like this. All his muscles were ready for action, looking more defined than usual, shining with the sweat that covered them. Usually that would make Rowena gag, but right now, she didn't mind it. At all.
And then there was the way he was looking at Diogo. The intensity in his eyes. She was pretty sure that if he looked at her like that, she would faint.
"Come on, little brother!" Diogo said, encouraging Rúben to attack him.
"They are going to hurt themselves!" Anne shouted when Rúben crashed his sword against Diogo's, his arms trembling from the impact.
"They are used to it, my lady. They'll be fine" one of the men watching laughed.
"Rowena, do something!"
"I… I…"
"Rowena! Stop drooling over your husband and do something!"
"I'm not drooling" she quickly said, touching her face just in case. If she hadn't drooled yet, she was sure she was close to doing it.
"You know how to fight, how these things work. Make them stop before someone gets hurt!"
"Alright, I'll try" Rowena replied, trying to focus on the fight and not on Rúben's muscles. Though easier said than done, especially now that he was with his back to her. It was… simply glorious.
"Rowena…" Anne urged her.
"I'm thinking."
"Then think faster!"
"Prince Diogo, watch his right leg when he hits!"
Hearing her voice catched them both by surprise, a few seconds passing before they understood what had just happened. But then the cheers of the men got louder, and the fight started again.
"Will it work?"
"If he is clever enough…"
"Rowena!"
"I'm not calling him stupid, Anne. I just…"
"Yes, my prince! Yes!" the man next to them yelled as Diogo took advantage on Rúben.
"He's doing it!"
"Keep going, Prince Diogo!" Rowena shouted, hoping he would hear her. "He's getting tired!"
"You should be supporting me, not him!" Rúben complained while trying to stop his brother.
"Now, Diogo! Hit him with everything you've got!"
"Yes!" the man yelled again when the prince managed to disarm Rúben. "You have a good eye, my lady."
"Thank you" Rowena smiled.
"What the hell was that?" Rúben said as he walked towards her, his chest quickly moving up and down while trying to catch his breath. She had never seen him angry, and it was… scary.
"I was just helping my brother-in-law" she shrugged, looking anywhere but at him.
"I am your husband, Rowena."
"Didn't know that when we got married and said our vows, we also promised to support the other during training sessions."
"What if he had hurt me?"
"You know his weak points, Rúben. If things had gotten out of control, you would have known how to stop him."
"How?"
"He always shifts his weight to the left, for example."
"I mean that how is it possible that you know how to fight."
"I've been training since I was a kid."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"You've never asked me about the things I like" Rowena shrugged.
"We suck at being married, don't we" he laughed.
"We do" she chuckled, finally daring to look him in the eyes. Whatever had gotten into him after the fight, was gone now, and he was back to his usual self.
"Why don't you show me your tricks?"
"Now?"
"Why not? Pick a weapon" he said, nodding towards a table standing not too far away from them.
"Rowena, you don't have to do it" Prince Diogo said.
"It's alright. I can manage him" she smiled.
"Ready, wife?" Rúben smirked after Rowena had chosen her sword.
"Ready, husband" she replied with a matching smile.
━━━━━━❃━━━━━━
"She is good" one man commented.
"And fast despite not wearing the proper clothes" another added.
"How did you say she learnt to fight?" Diogo asked Anne while they watched Rowena and Rúben fight.
"Anthony Mount taught her. He is like a brother to her, and one of the most promising soldiers in the country. That's why my mother put him in charge of protecting my brother."
"Who knew the women in that country knew how to fight" the first man laughed.
"She fights better than most men there" the other replied, also laughing.
"Go, Rowena! Beat his stupid ass!" Diogo yelled.
"You are getting tired, cupcake" Rúben said. "Look at the way your arms are shaking."
"Shut up" she replied, trying to focus. She was tired, the sword feeling heavier and heavier.
"Give up, Romina."
"Never" she said, ignoring how he was trying to distract her and attacking one last time.
When their swords clashed, Rowena's fell from her hands, Rúben managing to put an arm around her shoulders, turning her around and pinning her against his chest.
"Give up, wife. It's over" he whispered in her ear, letting his sword fall.
"It isn't" she replied, twisting his arm and freeing herself.
"Where did you get that from?" Rúben asked, looking at the small knife Rowena had against his neck.
"It is one of my tricks" she grinned.
"You and your knives" he chuckled.
"I think we have a winner, my prince" one of the men watching them said.
"I think we do. Congratulations, my lady" Rúben said, bowing in front of her when she took the knife from his neck.
"To lady Rowena!" Prince Diogo shouted.
"To lady Rowena!" the men repeated.
━━━━━━❃━━━━━━
"Thank you so much for this."
"Of course, my lady. Do you need anything else?"
"No, I'm fine. I'll probably go straight to bed after the bath. I am so tired."
"My lady" the maid said before leaving the room.
After the fight, she had asked for a bath with some salts to relax her muscles. She knew that after not training for so long she would definitely be sore the next day.
"That looks nice. May I join you?"
"Bloody hell, Rúben!" Rowena cursed, slipping inside the bath. "What are you doing here?"
"This is my room too" he shrugged from the door.
"How long have you been there?"
"Enough to appreciate how beautiful you look right now."
"I… You… Thank you."
"You're welcome, wife" he smiled. "Now, may I join you?"
"No!" she replied, sinking a bit lower under the water.
"I think there is enough space for the both of us."
"I said no, Rúben. If you come any closer, I'll…"
"Cut me? Are you hiding a knife inside the bath?" he laughed.
"Maybe I am, yes."
"Will you ever tell me where you were hiding the one you used today? On your other dresses I guess you hide them on the sleeves, but you've started to wear our clothes, and there are no sleeves there."
"You'll have to keep looking, then."
"Is that an invitation to make me take off your clothes?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.
"That's not what I meant."
"Are you sure?" Rúben asked, taking a step closer.
"Stop right there."
"Rowena…"
"And turn around."
"What?"
"Turn around, I'm done with my bath."
"You just went in, I saw the maid leave the room!"
"Then you leave."
"Fine, I'll leave" Rúben sighed. "But one day we will share a bath together, and you'll thoroughly enjoy it."
"I doubt it" Rowena snorted.
"It will happen. Mark my words."

Jelly, thank you for doing my request! Reading it made me feel better (I have a really bad infection rn but that's beside the point). Do you think you could do a part two?
Where Post war Levi and Freyja!Reader are now looking out at the ocean, talking about all they went through. Reader tells Levi of Asgard and Levi tells reader of The Underground City. When Levi goes into all the stuff he had to go through in order to survive. Reader, not wanting to lose the love of her life after a world of hate with Odin, wants to make him a god, the god of Survival, Heroes, and Freedom.
Feel free to ignore! :D
Searching part 2
Levi x fem!reader
Canon world, reincarnation, Norse mythology, goddess powers, action, being in love, married, fluff, angst, reader has tattoos, reader has long hair with braids and beads.
In this chapter: Levi and you have a moment on the beach where you connect. You reflect on the bad memories and the good ones you made together now as a married couple. You want eternity with Levi and offer him a God position with you at his side. Reluctant at first because he doesn't think he'd be good enough, he accepts so he can be with you forever.
Part 1
@ladycheesington @levisbrat25 @nyxiieluna @li-anne @galactict3a @youre-ackermine @thebobaprincess @2moth-anon2 @cypidity @nbinairyn @bts-spnlvr12 @darkstarlight82 @notgoodforlife @demonic-bird
Levi's thumb ran over your hand as his fingers remained entwined with yours. The two of you decided to have a picnic on the beach for a date. While you were enjoying the sun and peace, the two of you just started talking naturally about your lives.
A long sigh came from Levi and paused as his story hung in the air. "I'm glad I got out, but the cost..."
"You were played by man. No matter where you go, there will always be greed." You lifted his left hand and kissed below his wedding ring. "I am sorry for your loss. You have grown and fought so much."
He smiled a little. "I fought to survive, but after you it was fighting to spend forever with you."
You leaned over and kissed him. "I am forever grateful. I love you more than words can say. My love for you is stronger than the walls protecting Asgard."
Levi blushed. "I can only imagine how impressive they are." He gazed at you. "You know about my life, what about yours? You said this is your second life."
You gulped hard and looked out at the sea. "Yes. I died in my first life all because of Odin."
"He was the King of the Gods, right?"
You nodded. "He was. We all trusted him, but he was...he was a terrible father to so many. I worked hard and made sure to keep a distance, but the things he did to his children. Poor Thor was always trying to make him proud, but he never achieved it. Odin's madness and desperate hunt for more power led us all down a path to destruction. Loki had enough and started the end, Ragnarok."
Levi stared at you. "What happened to you?"
You welled up. "I thought he loved me. I became his lover. I am ashamed of that."
"How did you die? Was it in a great battle?"
You shook your head. "Most people don't know what happened to me. My part is lost in texts and teachings to the people. Some thought I died in battle, others I killed myself and lastly people thought I was spared."
Levi called your name when he saw pain in your eyes. "Odin killed you, didn't he?"
You sobbed a little before stopping yourself. "He went insane. He was searching for the meaning of life and trying to beat Ragnarok. I was against it all. There is nothing wrong with not knowing the end. Sometimes life and things don't have meaning, they just happen. He knew he was losing me, so he killed me and buried what happened to me before the world ended."
"Tch, that piece of shit. I wish he was alive so I could kill him."
You giggled. "Thank you."
Levi gazed at you. "Is he alive?"
You shrugged. "Everyone probably is living their second life. I'm glad I'm not with them. I want to be here with you." You gulped hard and opened your little bag. "Speaking of you. When I arrived in this world, I had a bag with me, remember?"
He nodded. "Yeah."
You pulled out a bottle. "This has a special drink that can make someone a god." You looked over at Levi. "I want eternity with you."
Levi moved closer. "Me too."
"I think that you would be the god of Survival, Heroes, and Freedom. You would be incredible."
Levi whined a bit. "I don't know about that. I want eternity with you, but I don't think I would be a good god."
"Levi, you know what loss is. You know what it means to keep fighting even against all odds. People looked up to you and they still do now. You are incredible."
He smiled a bit at you. "You see me in such a beautiful light, but..."
"A God who doubts themselves and sees fault is good. Odin thought he was the best and fell. Other gods I knew with egos were the same. To know you can't do everything is true. As a god, you can't bless everyone and save everyone, but that's not always what they want. Sometimes they just want a person to listen."
Levi reached over and grabbed the bottle. "You'll be with me, right?"
"Every single step and I will shower you with all my love."
He kissed you and moaned in delight. "I'm with you." He brought the bottle close to his lips. "Plus, I am interested in the fertility part of your goddess role."
You gasped and felt your cheeks burn. "Y-You, flirt."
He downed the drink that tasted like custard. He flopped back onto the blanket as his body glowed and began to tingle. All the injuries and aches in his body went and only faded scars remained. He was born again but into a new life of love and happiness with you. It felt like he was breathing for the first time in a while.
He sat up and gazed at you. "I feel...alive."
You leaned closer and kissed him. "You've changed. Your wounds are gone, only scars remain."
Levi pounced on you making you squeal in delight. "I feel energised. I want to shower you with love."
You mewled in delight. "I'm all yours."

Hello!! I want to request Hibiscus for Allen please, thank you very much :D
Allen Sugasano:
Hibiscus - the realization of a friendship becoming something more.
Allen hated it when you talked to him about dating.
He had never voiced this so it’s no surprise you still did it, calling him to complain about a date or how someone had treated you. You’d received messages from people only interested in your looks, thinking the pictures you received unsolicited were even worse, but you never shared many details about those with him. He normally sat there, listened, assured that you deserved better, and when you hung up, he couldn’t help but mutter ‘what about me…?’
“You know, they call you like, every night.” Anne leaned forward on the counter, placing their elbows and holding their face in their hand. “I know it’s always about their dates, but don’t you think that’s weird? That they say something new about it pretty much every day?”
Allen crossed his arms, head tilted and eyes closed as he tried to think why that should be weird, finally accepting that he couldn’t figure it out, “Why wouldn’t they be on dates every night? They’re attractive enough, and friendly… They probably get messages on dating apps all the time.”
“Know what app they use?”
He never asked, never wanted to think about it more than he had to when you called him. He felt the jealousy flare up again, each time he thought he had it extinguished it rose like a phoenix and left behind a scorched shadow in his chest that would ache for days.
“No.”
“Hm.” Anne tapped their cheek, again pretending to be in thought despite knowing exactly what was going on here. “Have you ever actually tried asking them on a date?”
“…No.” Allen looked away from Anne’s smile, thinking it made him feel a little pathetic; he knew what he was doing when it came to hip hop, but fielding his feelings was certainly not at the top of his skill list. But even music had taken time, it hadn’t started off smoothly but his passion led to something more, and BAE was formed by the passion of three people coming together to do something they thoroughly enjoyed. Romance was harder to pin down, harder to ‘practice’ without going on countless dates but that would be meaningless to him when he only wanted to date one specific person.
“Text ‘em and see what they say.” Anne tapped their fingers against the countertop now, the clicking of their nails on the hard surface snapping Allen from his thoughts. “You never know unless you try, right?”
“But what if…”
“If they reject you?” Anne sighed, mirroring Allen’s crossed arms pose now. “Is that any worse than having to hear about them talk about other people all the time? Texting and asking when you know them is like, uncool, but I think you’ll be forgiven.”
So, he just had to take a chance, huh?
Allen had been through much worse, finger hovering over your name, trying to find his voice again as the ringing tone filled his ears.

hello! hi! here's a nice ask for y'all. what's the most unique raggedy ann/andy doll you've seen? i know there are a lot of different companies like volland and aurora that have made them and lots of outfits and themes over the years, so there's quite a bit of variety!
People have been talking about the Dankin witch Ann a lot, which I think is cute! But I have more fun ones that people haven't seen.
Not a doll exactly but these 70's ventriloquist dummies for sure. I just need to curse more people with them.
Speaking of Volland, love these 1920's Uncle Clem and Percy the Policeman dolls from back when they actually made other characters from the books!
Using this as Exposition Raggedy Ann propaganda. Probably the most literally unique Raggedy Ann doll out there, they were manufactured for less than a year in the 30's. Doll appraisal books can't even put a price on them, they are that rare!
Thank you for the lovely ask! Maybe some of the other mods will want to chime in too.
-Mod General D.
#you ask me abt dolls you are getting the underappreciated ones#also the impish smiles but i talk about them too much and they aren't that visually unique#raggedy ann#raggedy andy#uncle clem

So, actually have just one last thing. One last piece of unfinished business from my trip to Japan to post.
I'll link the post since it's been buried by now, but as most of you know I got to attend the Pretty Rhythm Rainbow Live 10th Anniversary exhibition while I was visiting Japan in March 2024.
Everyone attending the event got this sealed envelope which reads, "♪ ♡To the New Manager♡♪" on the front.
What's inside?
Let's see...
To the New Junior High Student Manager of Prism Stone,
2.) Make sure to find someone who is good at make-up like Ito-chan! ♡
Thank you for becoming Prism Stone's new manager!
My name is Naru Ayase and I've been the manager up until now!☆
I decorated the store with photos of us to serve as a happy-naru parting memory! ♡
Please have fun! Now, to make sure you become happy-naru as the new manager, I have seven pieces of advice for you! 😆
1.) Make sure you find someone who is good at making sweets, like Ann-chan!
3.) Make sure you make friends with a beautiful girl who can play the violin just like Bell-chan! ✨
4.) Make sure you make friends with a cat-like little demon just like Wakana-chan who can read cute fortunes!
5.) Make sure you make friends with a kind girl who can brew good tea and seems like she's from a fairytale just like Otoha-chan!
6.) Meet a prism messenger like Rinne-chan! Oh, don't tell anyone Rinne-chan is a prism messenger, OK? >3<
7.) If you every run into any trouble, just say to yourself "Nantoka narunaru!" (It will all work out somehow!)
10.) Find an amusing super idol person friend like Hiro-san! ☆
8.) Find a friend just like Kouji-kun who can write songs!
(Oh, and don't tell anyone he's Ito-chan's boyfriend either ;D)
9.) Find a friend just like Kazuki-san who is good at dance and FREEDOM!
(Next Page)
11.) Never tell anyone the secret that Chisato-san's really Momo-san and she came from the Prism World! Never ever!
12.) But if you do ever mess up, D.J. Coo-san will figure something out, so no worries!!! 🍀 😌
AHH!!! 💦
Oh nooooo! That was way more than sevenn!!
Oh dear.. 💦💦
Oh well ♪
I think by the time you are working here, I'll already be the manager at Dear Crown across the way! So I'll be leaving everything to you!
Happy Rain♪ will keep on performing at Prism Stone so don't worry about that!
Bell, Wakana, and Otoha from Bell Rose will help out too!
Well then, do your best! ♡
But if you ever need anything I'd be glad to help, so just let me know!
I'll be stopping by!
Nantoka narunaru!!!
From Naru Ayase!
The prism radiance will always be with you!
♡ Happy Naru ♡
#pretty rhythm rainbow live#prrl#so the plot of the RL exhibition was basically like#you are the new manager and you are learning about prism stone#because naru decorated it for you#i wonder how they are gonna work teaching laalulu about pripara into the pripara exhibition#hmm hmm
