Hiiii mochiiii LMAOOO (totally didn't talk to you just now ANYWAYS)

Tokyo revengers Mizo Middle Five, Mochizuki, shion madarame, and obv kazutora, (if you want add more) with a clingy, childhood best friend reader to lovers, or they can already be lovers.

There literally isn't enough mizo middle five content out there 😭

Hope you have fun with this hehehe!

this is such a cute idea omg😭💞

𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱

I apologize that i couldn't include all of the Mizo Middle Five bc damn they're tough to write-

Anyways

𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘴 𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘯𝘦𝘶𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘭!! 𝘍𝘓𝘜𝘍𝘍 𝘈𝘏𝘌𝘈𝘋!!

𝙈𝙤𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙯𝙪𝙠𝙞 𝙆𝙖𝙣𝙟𝙞

• this ones my favorite omg

• your Families are friends that's how you met!

• Playdates w Mochi were always the best but he would tease you for not being able to catch up w him

• you're one of the few people not afraid of this big guy even if he's angry

• and he appreciates it so so much

• he's the best friend you need and actually listens very well (sucks at giving advice though)

• y'alls favorite type of dates is going to eat

• his dream partner would be someone who eats as much as him but he's gonna like someone who eats less too (he can finish your food dw)

• that being said y'all got together pretty early

• depending if you confessed first because he's gonna take ages making sure you're actually interested in him that way

• he's prolly very self concious but he never shows it

• pls reassure him

• you love to hug him and he loves to hug you back (he gives the best hugs fight me on that)

• loves when you hang on his arm!! He's proud of his strength and flexes every chance he gets so you can compliment him<3

• also loves to give piggy back rides or just letting you sit on his shoulders + plus doesn't hesitate to swoop you up and carry you when you're tired - no matter your weight

• style his hair!! Your fingers in his hair while he's sitting on the floor is the best way for him to relax😭

𝙎𝙝𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙈𝙖𝙙𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙢𝙚

• you two stuck like glue ever since y'all met at the playground when you were smaller

• even then Shion was all bark but no bite and you helped him when he got beat by older kids lmao

• so now years later you two still chill together in your room (i hc that he prolly has some beef w his family so he prefers to not be home at all)

• man knows where the keys to your home is if he's not simply coming in through the front door (your parents don't mind anymore)

• they probably didn't even believe he's a deliquent help

• naps on your bed >>

• you're the only one (and Izana) who can tell him to stfu without getting beat

• obv you patch him up after a fight and he didn't manage to keep you out of his gang business but ig you don't mimd if you still stick around

• he slowly started to fall for you with the way you cared for him and didn't mind if he disappeared for days when he needed the break

• that's why every time you touched or hugged him his heart would beat faster (pls don't ask why he's gotten red he's gonna deny it)

• i doubt he'll confess first though brother is in denial

• it was you who indirectly asked him and he went ?????

• he's gonna be so happy and you can see that on his giddy smile <3 Will only genuinely laugh and smile like that privately w you tho

• he needs a little push after you confessed but let's say he's clingy too after you two got together (more than you)

BONUS! Once a dude tried to threaten you and had the misfortune of Shion witnessing it. That guy got pulled away and you could imagine what happened to him (Shion sent you a cute little Selfie w the beaten guy after)

𝙆𝙖𝙯𝙪𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙖 𝙃𝙖𝙣𝙚𝙢𝙞𝙮𝙖

• okay so this ones a lil different

• you two were friends right before Toman was founded

• he wouldn't tell you about his family problems but you knew something was wrong

• he's gonna be more hesitant with being touched by you. Not that he doesn't want to, he's simply not used it

• you two had a routine with feeding and petting stray cats and he started to feel very comfortable around you

• that was until the thing w Shinichiro happened

• you heard about it from your parents but couldn't see him before he got to juvie

• you also didn't see him until he got out again much later

• you were walking home when saw him standing there leaning against a wall. He has been waiting for you.

• you two caught up and got closer again this day

• but he was way more distant than he used to and you were the only one who could see it despite his attitude

• fast forward to the Bloody Halloween you witnessed everything that happened (decide if you're in Toman or Valhalla)

• you managed to confess to him before he got you to leave before the Police came

• this time you didn't leave his side and visited him as often as you could in juvie

• that's when he confessed to you too<3

• after he got out there the second time you were there and you could finally go on dates.

• still hesitant and shy when you touch or hug him but he gradually got used to it

• going on rides w him as a date!!

𝙔𝙖𝙢𝙖𝙜𝙞𝙨𝙝𝙞 𝙆𝙖𝙯𝙪𝙨𝙝𝙞

• ahhhh this cutie!!

• being childhoof friends w him means being childhood friends w the whole group

• but you seemed to always spend more time w Yamagishi

• ofc you're gonna be his number one to rant about gangs to

• and you didn't mind one bit

• you didn't join Toman w the rest of them as you preferred to stay out of the danger

• which meant you're the one Yamagishi goes to to get patched up

• you're his crush obv and he's the one to confess after the whole crew teased him about it for too long

• was ecstatic when you said yes

• going to arcades is going to be y'alls favorite type of dates!! Also amusement parks even tho he probably hates the higher rides

• can't help but grin widely when you steal his glasses and wear them for fun

• loves when you hug him or hold his hand!! He has the most adorable blush on his face when you do

• he's gonna tease the shit outta you at times too

• plus he may be shy around you but he initiates physical touch himself too

• i feel like he's the type to randomly start tickling you (may or may have not got accidently hit by you and his glasses broke AGAIN)

hii so this is kinda like. self indulgent 😭 but could you write platonic spiderverse headcanons w a gn spider-reader who’s 12?(got bitten at around 9-10)

hopefully that’s ok, if not it’s fine tho sorry 😭😭

Young!Spiderperson

Spiderverse + gn!reader

Warnings: slight angst, platonic fluff, pretty short

A/N: I'm so tired. I wish I could sleep... We don't need sleep... We only need Astarion... Also before you all yell at me... Noir was bitten at 16 in the comics and says he's been spiderman for 3 years in ItSV meaning he's 19 then 20/21 in AtSV. Same with Hobie, bitten at 16 and says he's been spiderman for 3 years making him 19-20

Miles

He was only 14 when he was bitten

So he's very understanding and wants to help in any way he can

He's thankful he had Peter to help him learn how to be Spider-Man

He can't imagine being 9/10 and doing it alone

Miles has had a fair share of difficult times

But being so young and going through that

Terrifying to him

He will beg his parents to adopt you

Pav

A lot like Miles

He cares so much

He's such a good listener too

And he wants to do everything he can to make your job easier

He was bitten at 14/15, so he's fairly knowledgeable on how hard this is

So never once has he yelled at you for how you performed

Pav spends a lot of time with you

He thinks you're so amazing and he tells you that every time he sees you

He might be your number one fan... Might there might be someone who has him beat

Gwen

She was bitten at 12/13

So the fact that you've already been spiderman for a few years just...

Breaks her heart

It was hard enough at the age she was bitten

She can't imagine having that pressure, those powers

And still be in elementary school

She decides to help you

Not just learn how to use your powers (cause you've been doing it for 2-3 years at this point)

But she decides to be your confidant

She wants you to come to her if you need help or guidance

Noir

He will adopt you

In a heartbeat, are you kidding?

Did you see how quickly he basically adopted Peni?

Yeah... he basically adopted a 14 year old while he was 19

But being so close to Peni, he understood the termoil she went through after she was bitten at 8

This man will fight for you

Tooth and nail

Especially since the spider goddess won't let him die...

He will do whatever it takes to protect and empower you

#1 dad young dad

Hobie

I said someone might have Pav beat for your number one fan...

And this man here might have him beat

He's a punk

Are you kidding?

He is astonished by you

He had his own problems being 16 and a crime fighting rockstar in his universe

But you...

You were just a "wee thing"

He is your biggest fan

Constantly encouraging you to do better

Be better

Be amazing

He is definitely upset that you had so much on your shoulders so young

He wishes he could go back and take it so you could be a kid

Miguel

As if anyone could be more upset by what has happened to you

Losing his daughter at such a young age

He was outraged that you were put under this

He makes you a little escape at HQ

He absolutely builds forts with you

Whatever you want

He just wants to make you happy

You didn't deserve this

Really none of them did, but at 9/10?

You never got to experience what it was like to be a normal kid

Peter

Dad #2 on this list

Peter adopts you instantly, on sight

He's 100% 'kidnapping' you

He treats you like his own kid

You wanna spend the night at his?

He doesn't even have to ask MJ cause she'll agree

Smores, popcorn, Kool aid, you name it he'll get it

He wants you to experience real kid things without all the pressure

Cause you don't deserve that

You shouldn't have had to go through that

And he plans to make you feel loved and appreciated every day of his life

Heartthrob

modern au: actress!ellie x actor!reader, afab!r, reader plays a female character, but they/them pronouns are used for reader.

Warnings: cursing, no use of y/n, reader is not fem, angst, fluff, eventual; kissing, substance use and smut. ALSO SPOILERS FOR 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU!!

Synopsis: Following a recent heartbreak you promise to never fall for another person again. Ironically you’ve been chosen to play a lead role alongside oscar-winning, Ellie Williams. Ellie is an actress you’ve looked up to since you started your acting journey. “10 things i hate about you” is a lesbian rom-com parody of the 1999 film of the same name. Despite the acting being a breeze you’ve encountered a major problem; can you and Ellie keep the romance on the set only?

word count: over 1k

Authors note: i don’t know how long this fic will end up being but your support and reblogs are very appreciated! also enjoy the little phone call audio!! i watched the movie last night and rip heath:((( GO WATCH THE GODDAMN MOVIE IF YOU HAVENT ALTHOUGH THIS IS A SFW POST MINORS AND MEN DONT INTERACT

soooo… with out further adieu:

Heartthrob: The Prologue

The clock read 7:04pm, you were situated in your tiny apartment located in L.A. Your phone buzzed, you picked it up quickly, excited that your crush, Freya had texted you. You and Freya had matched on a dating app over a month ago and things were going good so far.

Your heart sunk to your chest, your hands began to shake as you felt that familiar pain of heartbreak seep back into you. It's a feeling that you hate with every fiber of your being. It is one that leaves you unable to function for days on end. The girl who you had stupidly fallen for unfortunately had commitment issues, you mourned what you two could’ve had, the dates you could’ve gone on and you couldvt watched the cheesiest of rom coms together. “I will never fall for another girl again” you promised yourself, now ever so aware of the pain that loving someone can cause you to experience. You decided to send your friend Dina a message.

Speaking of rom coms you’re supposed to hear if you got the lead role for “10 things i hate about you'' the highly-anticipated, sapphic parody of the 1999 movie of the same name, starring Juilia Stiles and Heath Ledger. The role you auditioned for was for Kat Stratford, an abrasive but beautiful girl, who’s temperament leads her to not attract many women- and the rule her father has placed, which is that Kat’s younger sister can’t date unless Kat herself has a date. Over the course of the film Kat falls for a girl named Sarah.

Sarah is portrayed by Oscar-award winning actress Ellie Williams, Ellie has made herself well known as the lesbian heartthrob of the 2020s. Her presence sends any lesbian onto their knees, turning them into nothing but a muttering-stuttering gay-panic.

Thinking about working alongside her gave you chills and made your stomach do flips. You and Ellie were roughly around the same age, but she felt way out of your league. You’ve always looked up to Ellie since you saw her in her breakout film. She was an extremely talented actress, and has definitely made a name for herself.

You hear your door unlock. “Hey, I'm here! Where are you?” Dina says with a worried tone in her voice, she knows when you don’t give her much context to the situation that something has definitely happened.

“'m over here” you reply quietly.

Dina walks into your living room. You’re curled up in a ball on the couch, eyes red and puffy from crying. “Aww noo- what happened?”

“Freya and i- fuck… w- we didn’t work out.” You said, in between sobs, Dina hugged you, her hand rubbing your back as she held you. “I am so sorry to hear that- what can I do to help you out here hun? You’re pretty distraught”

“I- i don’t know Dina.” you said, quietly. “Maybe a distraction could help?”

“Ooh! Why dont you tell me about that role you auditioned for!?”

“oh yeah! You’ve seen the original movie right?”

“Yep I have! I’m really excited to see how this movie turns out!” Dina said, smiling, you could tell she was really excited.

“i auditioned for Kat Stratford- i don’t think i’ll get it though- OH FUCK- they haven’t even called me back yet!” You said to Dina, starting to get worried that they wouldn’t call you back.

You were an anxious, emotional heart-broken mess and desperately needed that lead role. Having that lead role would give you something to look forward to. Your phone rang, you quickly picked it up, hands shaking as you anxiously awaited your results. You set your phone down on the coffee table and set it to speaker.

“Hey, this is Jessica! You auditioned for the role of ´Kat Stratford’ in ‘10 things i hate about you’ right?”

“mhm- yep that’s me!”

You twiddle your thumbs together. “deep breaths” you tell yourself. You and Dina looked at eachother.

“Well congratulations! you got it!”

“Oh my god!! Thank you so much! I really needed to hear this.” you said, as a sigh of relief went through your entire body.

“Wait before you hang up, I've got someone else who wants to talk to you! Give me a minute as I transfer you over to her”

You and Dina were freaking out, excited butterflies erupting in your stomach. Dina had brought you into a very tight hug.

The phone switched over to the other person on the other end.

“Hey! It’s Ellie here! I wanted to congratulate you personally on the role, it’s well deserved! I'm really excited to meet you and work alongside you! I'll see you at the script reading on Monday!” Dina gasped and you put your hand over your mouth in shock.

“Oh my gosh it's such an honour to meet you Ellie!”

“And the same to you, you’ve got quite the talent for acting! Also feel free to write down my number, It’d be good for us to get to know each other before we start!”

“Yeah! Sounds good!” Out of the corner of your eye you saw Dina writing down Ellie's number on her notes app! “Thank god for Dina she’s a lifesaver for real” you thought to yourself.

“Don’t be shy and shoot me a message!! Really looking forward to connecting with you! Take care and see you soon.”

“Bye Ellie!”

“see ya later!”

Ellie hung up the phone and you looked at Dina, no words could come out of your mouth at the moment- your mouth hanged open in shock. You and Dina squealed and you two started jumping up and down out of the euphoria you were feeling.

“DINA- WHAT. THE. FUCK. WAS THAAATTTT…”

“I DONT KNOW but i'm so happy for you! you’ve worked your ass off man!! This is well deserved!” Dina exclaimed.

“Dina give me her number- WOAH that sounds unreal. Ellie Williams herself gave me HER NUMBER LIKE WHAT THE FUCKKKKK!!! All of the stans would kill to have those 9 digits! Is this a dream? Dina, slap me please!”

You said, your brain trying to process what happened.

Dina slapped you hard on the arm. “OW- Yep i’m definitely not dreaming”

“NO you are not-”

Your heart was still broken but you had something to hope for and something to look forward to, which really helps you move on. And Dina helps you too, Dina gives you that shoulder to lean on, she’s always got your back and you’ve always got hers!

I can’t tell where the journey will end But I know where to start

Prequel to my Kid Buggy fic, set about 11-ish years before that story.

Buggy meets you by chance when he needs his buttons sewn back onto his jacket. He’s young, up and coming, and he thinks everyone should cower before him wherever he goes, but all you do is smile at him.

Rating: PG-13ish just for some swearing. Warning: Buggy’s in his early 20s. I also gave him some anxiety and stuff because while he’s in love he doesn’t believe someone could love him back. He just has a lot of uncertainty with romance. A/N: Meet the Family plus one that isn't really nice. I finally caved and was kind to Buggy when it comes to romancing Sunny. End of the chapter mentions sexy times but nothing graphic at all. I just realized maybe I should take pity on the fool.

Title comes from “Wake Me Up” by Avicii.

TAGLIST: @lostfirefly @ane5e @kingofthemfingpirates @the-angriest-angel @tiredemomama @valen-yamyam16 @i-reblog-fics-i-like @plethora-of-fickleness @uhnanix

Chapter 1 + Chapter 2 + Chapter 3 + Chapter 4 + Chapter 5 + Chapter 6 + Chapter 7 + Chapter 8 + Chapter 9 + Chapter 10 + Chapter 11 + Chapter 12 + Chapter 13 + Chapter 14 + Chapter 15 + Chapter 16 + Chapter 17 + Chapter 18 + Epilogue

Chapter 16

Buggy couldn't fathom the amount of cousins you had.

They were broken into four age groups apparently. The 18 and older, the 12 year olds to 17 year olds, the 6 to 11, and the babies to 5 year olds.

The five and under thought Buggy was so cool and wanted to touch his face, hair, ask if he knew tricks since he looked like a clown, and when he resorted using his Devil Fruit to pick a grabby three year old up and hand the child to you, they thought he was even cooler.

The 6 and 11 age group felt they were too old for clowns and weren't really impressed that he was a pirate captain, but when he used his abilities to get their kites out of the branches of a tree and even some toys that ended up on the roof, they decided he was okay.

The older two groups mostly judged him because he was marrying their favorite cousin (you were somehow everyone's favorite in the family and Buggy fully supported that). Some of the male cousins tried to give Buggy the whole “you hurt her you die” talk but he wasn't actually intimidated by that at all for once. Found it to be more annoying than anything.

He would never hurt you in any way.

The female cousins thought you could do better, honestly, though they did ask what his hair care routine was when they saw how long and wavy it was (Buggy refused to tell).

All in all, meeting the cousins went better than expected.

He still had to meet your aunts and uncles. You told him it should be a little less stressful than the cousins, but when your dad mentioned the hot spring that all the uncles would be going to with some drinks, he insisted Buggy come along. You weren't there to help so he had no choice but to go with Blue.

It… it was weird. Buggy somehow was surrounded by all of them, each staring at him as they enjoyed their drinks. He didn't even try to drink yet, too nervous watching and waiting for one of them to ask something but they just stared at him.

“So, our little Sunny is engaged to a pirate captain.” One of them finally said (Buggy couldn't even begin to remember names right then). Buggy could only nod, unsure if this would lead to additional questions or what.

“How long have you been a captain?”

“How long have you been a pirate?”

“You better take care of our niece or else.”

Almost the entire hour spent in the hot spring went like that. Buggy barely spoke despite being in the spotlight. Blue actually did most of the talking even though he really didn't know Buggy well, but it sounded like he asked Sunny similar questions and got some answers and well, Buggy appreciated it. He had no problem being front and center when he was on his ship but off it, surrounded by this family, he was out of his element and hating every second of it.

A tiny part of him was starting to regret agreeing to coming here with you so early into the engagement since that had become a focus of a lot of conversation, but when he headed back to the main house and saw you with your cousins, holding the ring up that he gave you with a big smile on your face, he realized he could tough it out. It had only been a few days so far.

“Buggy, follow me.” Blue said as he put his hand on the young pirate's shoulder and steered him into the house. “I don't know if my daughter told you, but after Windy and I got married, we became jewelers.”

“Huh…” Buggy only nodded, not sure why that mattered. He was led into a tiny workshop where Blue turned the lights on, giving Buggy a view of everything.

Various tools, materials, stones, everything you would need for that kind of business filled the space of the small room. The worktop has dents, scratches, some scorch marks, showing years of love and hard work. There was a bright red cloth with two rings resting on it. Buggy picked one up to look at it, almost dropping it when he saw a tiny little engraving of his jolly roger on it.

“What is this?!” Buggy demanded, wondering if Blue was copying his jolly roger for some reason.

“Well, after you two showed up and told us the happy news, I started working on wedding rings for you both.” He chuckled, suddenly looking nervous and uncomfortable. “My wife sketched out the designs and I've been working on them the last few days as a surprise, but I realize now that that's silly because you probably have something better for the two of you.”

No, no he didn't. Was Buggy supposed to? He figured the engagement ring would be enough but was having a separate ring for marriage a thing? He was also thrown off by the fact that these rings were made in such a short amount of time. It was thoughtful, touching, but Buggy didn't know what to make of it. He set the ring back down and looked up at the older man.

“We… have to have a ring for marriage?” That was the question on his mind. He didn't have rings yet, he only had the (stolen) engagement ring so hearing that there was also supposed to be a wedding ring on top of it was a little much.

To his relief, Blue just chuckled, clapping him on the shoulder. “Only if you want! You're a pirate, I'm sure you have your own traditions anyway. I just wanted to give you a gift for taking such good care of Sunny this last year. I figure you're someone special by the way her eyes light up when she talks about you.”

Buggy scowled as his cheeks burned. That wasn't the case, you took care of him. He didn't do anything worthwhile to earn the love you have for him. Why would you tell your father something different? He didn't say anything, looking back down at the rings. They were a simple band, practical for working on a ship, but he wanted something a little more to it.

“If you already have something, I understand! I know this is a bit sudden.” Blue assured him. “And if you don't like them, I'm okay with that too!”

Buggy hesitated. It was thoughtful but it was missing something.

“No, they're… fine.” He told him, jaw clenched as he looked down at the rings. “Can you just add one thing?”

“Yea! We can have the wedding while the whole family is here!”

Buggy spat out his drink while you choked on yours. Your mother's sister, the second oldest, heard that you wanted just your parents and someone to officiate and well, she didn't like that idea. She wanted to see her niece get married, why couldn't everyone enjoy it?

“We'll find an officiant, we have the space to have your fiancee's crew join us so long as they behave and we can make the reception the big family dinner we always have!” Your aunt Stormy continued. Buggy was against the idea, was ready to say so, but you took his hand and gave it a squeeze.

“We just want to keep it small.” You told her, glancing over at Buggy. “The reception can be a party, but… we just want a small wedding.”

“Nonsense. You have a huge family, Sunny, and we want to see you get married.” Stormy said, shaking her head. “We won't take no for an answer.”

“‘We’?” You repeated.

“The rest of us aunts and uncles want to see you get married. It's not fair if we don't.” Stormy chuckled. “You're the first of the kids to get married, it's only right that the rest of us get to see it.” She glanced over at Buggy. “I imagine it will be quite a spectacle going by how your fiancee… is.”

“W-What-”

“I don't know what that's supposed to mean, Aunt Stormy, but the wedding will be small.” You told her, fixing your aunt with a look that told Buggy that the conversation was over. “Me, mom, dad, Buggy, and some of his crew. That's it.” You tightened your hold on Buggy's hand. “Please excuse us.”

You didn't wait and dragged Buggy away. He noticed you were tense after that, but you also jumped to his defense before your aunt could make any other jabs at him. Spectacle? What kind of spectacle was she expecting?

You dragged him into the house, relieved no one else was in there. Everyone was outside socializing. You took his glass and put it in the sink with yours, huffing in frustration. Buggy was both a little nervous but intrigued to see you frustrated, especially since it wasn't directed at him.

“Of course she would go against our wishes.” You muttered as you started washing the glasses. “Makes it all about herself. She just wants a reason to dress up and will end up making it about her. We are not having a big wedding. I don't want it.”

“Babe?” Buggy asked carefully.

You looked up from what you were doing, frustration in your voice when you asked, “What?!”

“D’you want to… take a break and go to the ship?” He was hesitant to even suggest it, figuring you'd rather spend time with your family than with him, especially since you have spent so much time with him already. You stared at him in surprise and he started back pedaling immediately. “I mean, this is your family, and I know you want to spend time with them, so I shouldn't have even suggested that, babe. Forget it. We can stay. I don't need to go, y’know, I just wanted you to, uh, have…a break?”

“No, no, Buggy. That's a good idea.” You told him as you dried your hands. “We just have to sneak down to the water. Who knows what my aunt is saying about the wedding now.”

Oh, that was a good idea? He was pleased with himself, smirking at you as he leaned on the counter. “Yea? Maybe we come up with other good ideas while we have some alone time.”

You grinned and tossed the dish towel aside. “Oh, and what kind of good ideas do you want to come up with, Captain?”

“We’ll just have to see, won't we?” He looked quite proud of himself for being flirty without something happening to him for once. “I'm sure we'll come up with something, babe.”

Something was you and Buggy in bed, naked and tired, both of you not sure how long you were in there for, both too distracted by each other to really care about time anyway. You had initiated it after Buggy made some joke about getting naked and you didn't hesitate in stripping down in front of him, grinning at the blush on his face and how wide his eyes got up on seeing you naked for the first time.

Now he was a little hesitant. You had said you weren't disgusted by his body upon knowing of his Devil Fruit powers, how limbs and parts separated when he needed them to, but he suddenly felt a little self conscious, so you walked over to him and kissed him, pulling at his clothes to encourage him. He never did this before, you had said the same, but like everything with you, he wanted it to be perfect.

He knew what to do from stories he heard growing up from the Roger Pirates and you knew what you wanted from romance novels you used to read to pass the time at the shop. And while Buggy took charge, he listened when you gave him directions on where to touch, kiss, everything. Hearing how you moaned and whined, panting his name between little gasps spurned him to make sure you screamed his name in the end.

And he was impressed he managed to keep it together when he was finally inside you, holding back to keep from finishing too quickly. There would be other times, sure, but this was the first time for both of you, and you were letting him touch you, pleasure you, and he needed it to be perfect for you. He was so in love with you.

And after all that, he was in your arms, head on your chest as your fingertips stroked down his spine while he made himself comfortable.

“We should probably make an appearance before they come looking for us.” You sighed, making no effort to move. “I just don't want to.”

“We can stay here. The crew won't let anyone onboard.” Buggy mumbled back, eyes closed as he sank into your arms.

“I would like that since the second my aunt sees me she'll want to talk about the wedding, which is the last thing I want to do with her.” You kissed the top of his head and closed your eyes. “It's kind of late, we can make an appearance tomorrow morning. I just want to spend time with you right now.”

“Yea?” He lifted his head up, eyes wide in surprise. “You’d rather spend more time with me?”

You opened your eyes and looked at him with a frown. “Of course I would. I love you, Buggy.” Touching his cheek, you gave him a kiss as he wrapped his arms around you. “I love spending time with you.”

“Your family-”

“Yea, I'll see them tomorrow. I want to spend time with you right now.” You assured him. “Get some rest, honey.”

He nodded, settling back down with his head tucked under your chin, closing his eyes as you pulled the covers up over the two of you. He was more than happy to be in bed with you for the rest of the day, just spending time with you, not having to be surrounded by everyone else and their questions about himself and the wedding.

Maybe Buggy could convince you to stay on the ship for the rest of the reunion.

People aren’t obligated to reblog your fanfics if they don’t enjoy the writing. You don’t get as much attention because you’re not as known. You haven’t been publishing as long as the “big authors” you pretend to love but then bash them immediately afterwards. It sucks, but you can’t buy people’s affection. You pretend to be more humble than everyone else but then get pissed so easily because you don’t have bragging rights.

i never said everyone has to enjoy my writing. also the Thing is; these big authors have been publishing for longer yeah !! and their writing is absolutely marvelous and i genuinely adore them. but. they also are popular bc they're seen as Better than other creators and put on a pedestal. which is both uncomfortable for them and Highly discouraging for others. and this is due to a cliquey mindset. it Is. as much as u like to pretend it isn't, it rlly rlly is. people can be just friends. there is nothing wrong with supporting ur friends' work more or being more invested in ur friends' work. the problem lies in the fact that many people just disregard other rlly talented creators in favor of the already popular ones (who are popular for a reason. their art / fics / wtv Are really good and i read their stuff too! not trying to put them down here, just trying to lift other people up) which makes for a fandom that is going to die out. and dont u fucking dare bring my fics and my engagement and me into this. maybe i was petty abt that before and i acknowledge that. but i haven't made a single post abt how my fics are getting less engagement in Months. the post i did make and the one ur probably so butthurt abt wasn't even initially abt cliques. it was just saying that we need to rb more and be more vocal of our support of creators in the tags or - wherever. NOT underrated / underappreciated / smaller / less popular creators. i was Very general abt it. creators. period. the talk of cliques came into play when i peer reviewed someone's tags on that post. bc they were extremely real and the problem of less vocal support affects "popular" creators too! ive been noticing that they're also getting less engagement. but mostly the people affected by it are creators in the fandom with no prior popularity. and it is an actual issue. also when the actual fuck have i ever bought someone's affection?? im too broke for that, my dude, i struggle to pay rent most months. and i've Not acted humble or holier than thou. the reason i have so many moots and friends is bc im a genuinely nice person who wants to support and uplift EVERYONE in this fandom. i do have personal beef with people, but im civil to Everyone. thats the reason i have friends. unlike you, i dont send anon hate bc im butthurt over one (1) post <3 hope that fucking helps <3 also the post wasnt even abt ME. bc i genuinely dont give a fuck abt people seeing and liking my writing anymore bc i have Grown Past That and just... adopted a give no fucks mindset. the post was abt the fandom slacking and not appreciating creators (PERIOD.) enough. it was never abt me. also bragging rights? babe nobody's bragging abt how they get more interaction. that's rude asf and entirely out of the question. and those popular writers ur talking abt who Could brag if they wanted to DON'T. bc they aren't despicable human beings who love to put others down. i'm Friends, or at the very least, friendly moots w the writers ur talking abt. and im not trying to put them down. im trying to lift other people up, which is smth u just Don't understand apparently. i even contributed in a whole ass event to shine light on talented, less popular writers in the fandom. bylerficrecweek? u might ive heard of it. it helped, or i like to Think it did, with helping people branch out, but the problem wasn't completely solved. people who are equally as talented as the already popular creators have talked abt their experience with engagement in the exact same post that ur so pissed abt. im going to put tags from various people under the cut so that u can see exactly how much people are affected by the prominent clique problem in the byler fandom. hope u have a good day and u wanna kiss me so bad it makes u look stupid 😚

THIS is the post im talking abt in question, the og post along with denise @bylertruther 's tags. i'm going to be putting screenshots of people's tags on this post with due credit. (to any of the people featured here : if u want me to remove ur tags feel free to say so!)

via @holyvirgilscriptures

via @runninguplenorahills

via @unwisewizard

via @apatheticlexicographer

via @fireflywitch

via @hawkwidows

ANDDDDD thats it! hope u fucking realized that i was speaking generally and also Many people face this problem. kiss my ass 💋

On the topic of Sebastian being completely enthralled about everything Ciel is, I personally love it so much more knowing manga context, because O!Ciel was the 'spare'. He was not supposed to carry the family nane and, frankly, people didn't think he'd be capable of it due to his poor health anyway (Remember Frances and Vincent's conversation in the flashback chapters? It's obvious O!Ciel was quite saddened by what he heard).

By all means, in a twisted way, Sebastian might just be the first person to regard O!Ciel as someone deeply capable, a shiny singularity that doesn't live in anyone's shadow. The adults around him were - tho not unrightfully - seeing his fragility first and foremost while his brother, despite seeing him as worthy, didn't wish for him to leave and forge his own path. R!Ciel's reaction came from childishness sure, but that isn't to say that it didn't feed into the idea that O!Ciel was 'his backup'.

Going off from this, Sebastian is also the one thing in his life and is irrevocably his. Again, twisted, but all O!Ciel built has been under another's name. The manor, the company, the engagement etc. None of them truly his, but his brother's. And the other servants? They are loyal, however ultimately their own people. Sebastian? In an entirely different spot. He'll be there until the end after all.

This is an aspect of their relationship that tugs at my heartstrings so much. It's so toxic and depressing yet strangely soft and tender somewhat at least to me.

Sorry, I just really wanted to pour my thoughts and I appreciate your posts. So here I am!

anon, i’m in love with you

i literally think about this all the time like. that conversation frances and vincent had? imo vincent just flippantly saying "i guess ill just have to give the estate back to the queen lmao" could be taken 2 ways which is: at face value OR (what i think is more likely) vincent just saying what he knows will piss frances off to get her to stop talking. tbh vincent seems like a good dad imo and like he doesnt super underestimate o!ciel (he seemed absolutely fine with the idea of o!ciel going off to london by himself and opening a toy store in the future), but he DOES know that o!ciel is frail and sickly, and it makes me wonder how seriously he considered the idea that o!ciel might inherent the title of the queen's watchdog.

honestly, i feel in some respects, r!ciel treats o!ciel more carefully than their parents. he very much has an attitude of "my baby brother NEEDS me, he cannot survive without me!!" (gasps and shock, to learn it is actually the other way around /s)

all this to say, whether you lean more towards my interpretation or yours, or a fun mix, or whatever, it is undeniable that all of o!ciel's relationships were 'tainted' (for lack of a better term) by his illness and the way it made others view him and treat him.

AND THEN COMES SEBASTIAN

sebastian, who takes one look at o!ciel, and goes "lmao what a fucked up lil dude. time for little a snacky". sebastian, who then sits down to forge a contract with said little dude only to realize Oh Okay So This Child Is Clever. And o!ciel being sickly does kind of come up when they're making the contract, but sebastian focuses more on the actual logistics of that and o!ciel says 'nvm we'll deal w it when it comes up' (which is hilarious imo. he really said a sudden chill can put me on my deathbed but thats a problem for future me).

and then it turns out o!ciel is hella sheltered. but also a huge bitch.

and at this point, all i can assume is sebastian is so bewildered by this experience that the fact that o!ciel is frail and sickly and fragile is like. just another thing about this kid. o!ciel has never made sebastian's life easy and it would be stupid to think he would start now, sebastian thinks as his young master suffers from yet another cold just bc it rained yesterday. "i never knew you had asthma" says sebastian, who has read every medical journal to date on chest colds. "you never asked," says the bane of sebastian's existence.

and the thing is you can say "sebastian is only worried about o!ciel bc if o!ciel dies, he loses his meal" which is true and accurate and tbh if i was sebastian and i had put up w that much, i wouldn't want to lose my meal to a mere cough.

BUT ALSO

then you see the way sebastian is so fascinated and intrigued and bewitched by o!ciel. i think to sebastian the fact that o!ciel is frail and sickly is just another contradiction in the sea of contradictions that makes o!ciel so fascinating. and i think sebastian is the only one who really sees all those contradictions, he's the only one who sees everything that makes up o!ciel. and he loves what he finds.

(not to mention the fact that sebastian is the only person o!ciel allows to see his every aspect. or, well, some he tries to hide, but only because he thinks sebastian will try to use something against him. either way, sebastian is still the only person who he lets see the most of him. because sebastian is the only person who knows who he really is, who he doesnt have to put up a front for. he doesn't have to pretend to be his brother, he doesn't have to worry about being the spare.)

#kuroshitsuji #black butler #sebastian michaelis #our ciel #sebaciel #sky posting #sky talks #sorry if this doesnt make sense i started thinking about them and blacked out

Hello! Hope you're having a good day and that everything's going well! If it isn't too much to ask I would like to have a pairing with a Helluva Boss and Hazbin Hotel character, preferably male. * So a little bit about myself! My pronouns are He/They but actually like to present myself as feminine at times * Most people said that the first time they saw me they thought I was mean and actually scary and I think it was because of my stern look and whenever someone would ask me something I would give them short cold answers.. but I'm not that. I'm actually a little shy but once you know me I'm just super lively, loving to sing (even if I suck at it), always cracking a joke and just wanting to enjoy the moment. Despite all that I'm actually pretty calm at times and offer some heartfelt and harsh advice. Whenever that happens I just go full on serious mode and prefer to listen first and instead of solving the persons problems, I rather guide them in the right direction. * Likes! I love to do creative things, like writing and drawing, and to read, specially dystopian fiction. I also take a great interest in astronomy, magic things like witchcraft and bones (I can't explain it-). As for music it's basically a little bit of everything with both jazz and pop being way up. * In a relationship I prefer.. the less touching possible the better. That being said my main love languages are quality time and gift giving. Although I don't really enjoy touching, I wouldn't mind if my partner want hugs or something like that. And that's it! Sorry if it was too long and don't feel pressured to do it right away! Take your time and don't forget to drink plenty of water and rest! Hope you have a good day!

Hi hun!! Ofc!!

And finally my first Helluva req!!

And thank you sweetheart 💞 honestly i think Stolas would fit too.

I’ve decided to pair you with BLITZØ & ALASTOR!!!

Ill do Alastor first!

He’d definitely love and find you intriguing. Stone cold?

When he finds out more about you, he was honestly surprised.

Although he’d probably do duets with you, he’d LOVE to hear your jokes.

Especially if they are dad jokes cus … he is a huge dad joke.

He likes that you are able to be calm in situations, and help through situations too!

He would look to you for some advice, just to make sure he believes he’s right!

If you listen to Jazz? He’s spending all his time with you. And def listening to Jazz.

He would force you to chat about fav artists w him.

You both dislike physical touch, and he appreciates it. He would prefer acts of service and words of affirmation.

Now Blitzo!

He also presents feminine sometimes! He thinks it’d be fun to do together.

He definitely got attracted to you with that stone cold look, and short replies !! At first anyways.

Once he also gets to know you, he definitely would love to hang out with you!

Although you may not be the best singer- NEITHER IS HE!!! And he enjoys singing, or listening.

He is also always cracking jokes, so you both are cackling at EVERY MOMENT!!

He will always look to you for advice, and he doesn’t do that for anyone else either. He’s pretty reserved.

He would’ve probably confided into you about fizz, his mom, stolas and everything else at that moment in time.

Your interest in astronomy and witchcraft reminded him of Stolas, but instead of Stolas sexual nature- he has someone he really will care and show up for.

If you can draw, he will FORCE you to teach him. HE NEEDS TO DRAW HIS PONIES!! and obviously to make up for the shitty art lessons he got.

He would totally listen to your stories, because it would remind him of Millie and Moxxie, and he wants what they have.

He listens to more metally type of music, but boy will he listen to anything. Honestly i wouldn’t be surprised if he started listening to country??

I also think that Blitz isn’t big on physical touch either. He would be icked out. He thinks that words of affirmation and quality time are better. He knows you’re listening to him and willing to be there!

Five Nights at Freddy's: Salvaged, Night 22: Machinations

''These Machinations carry on, for years beyond the trauma. It's haunted us, for 30 years, still waiting for the karma. These Machinations near the end, our souls will find their rest, now, it's time to pray, it's time to judge, and say good-bye old friend.''

– Machinations by StardustLegend ft. Eleanor Forte (Five Nights at Freddy's)

xXxXxXx

Sam and Springtrap were standing in silence for a few seconds, waiting for the entity to speak again, but there was no follow-up to the earlier comment. Springtrap then looked at Sam.

''So, you heard them too,'' he said, with Sam nodding. ''It seems like your near-death experience with the remnant had another effect on you.''

''It's not a bad thing,'' Sam replied. ''If someone has a problem with you, they will have to deal with me first.''

''That's kind of you, but you shouldn't have to deal with every issue I have to deal with,'' Springtrap told her.

''I don't have a problem with that,'' Sam replied, with Springtrap sighing.

''I should've known you'd say that,'' he said. ''In any case, you should go and rest.''

''Okay,'' Sam said as she sat back on the bed. ''But we're not done with this conversation.''

''Of course not,'' Springtrap said sarcastically, but then gave her an affectionate pat on the head. He then frowned as he thought back to his mental breakdown.

''What's wrong?'' Sam asked, noticing his concerned look.

''I hate to admit it, but I feel like I'm losing myself,'' Springtrap admitted, sitting down next to her.

''I hope you don't mean that you're losing your sanity like before,'' Sam said.

''No, don't worry,'' Springtrap told her, glancing at her. ''I mean, it's not like before, when I decided to just give into my bloodthirst. I'm actually torn between whether to continue like this or just leave.''

''I understand that it's hard, but you have my support,'' Sam said. ''I don't want you to leave.''

''I know. That's why I'm still here,'' Springtrap said.

''Of course you're here because of her. Only not for the reasons she thinks.''

''You're wrong about that,'' Springtrap replied in an annoyed tone. He then glanced at Sam, who nodded.

''Okay, I can hear you too, now,'' Sam told the entity. ''Could you tell me why you believe that Springtrap is here to harm me?''

''Isn't it obvious? He's a murderer and he'll kill you too!''

''No, I won't,'' Springtrap replied. The entity chuckled.

''Keep telling yourself that.''

''Wait,'' Sam interrupted the two. ''Before we continue, who are you? Why are you here? What is your reason for tormenting Springtrap? How come only now I can hear you too? Why don't you show yourself? Do you know-''

''Hey, stop with the questions! I can't answer them all!''

''I'm curious as well,'' Springtrap said, a smug grin on his expression as he realized that that entity was in distress. He also felt relieved now that he didn't have to deal with that entity alone anymore.

''No!''

''Fine,'' Sam said, with Springtrap being a little surprised that she didn't press on. However, knowing her, he was aware that she wouldn't let it go so easily and find another way to get her answers. Sam crossed her legs, leaning over. ''Could you at least tell me why you're targeting William? I mean, I don't mind his presence here.''

''But, you should! He's a bad friend and an evil man.''

Sam glanced at Springtrap, who had a look of guilt on his expression. She tilted her head.

''That may be true, but you're completely ignoring all the times he showed remorse for his actions and actually tried to be a good friend,'' she said, then gave a sour smile. ''Although, he does have issues.''

''That's why he needs to leave! Or do you want to be his next victim?''

''Listen, I appreciate your concern, but you and your friends are not helping at all,'' Sam said, waiting for the entity to answer. They didn't, although Springtrap did gave her a strange look. ''I understand why you hate him, and I'd probably too if I were in your situation. Sorry, Will,'' she added with a look of guilt. Springtrap shook his head.

''It's fine.''

''In any case, you cannot force people to change their mind, or at least, you cannot force me to change my opinion of William,'' Sam continued. She then frowned. ''Also, in case you meet up with your friends again, tell them that I didn't appreciate their offer of me leaving along with them. I get it that you're kids and don't know better, but that was the wrong thing to say, especially to someone who still has the choice to come back.''

''I have no idea what you're talking about,'' the entity replied. ''I'm just here to protect you from him! He isn't honest with you at all!''

''If that's true, then how come that I always explain everything I can to Sam?'' Springtrap interrupted. He then frowned. ''At least, I try to…''

''You don't tell her everything. Besides, you are hiding behind a mask.''

''Ironically, I actually became the mask,'' Springtrap said sarcastically, with Sam looking quite amused.

''I don't think that's funny.'' The entity sounded quite annoyed. ''Don't say I didn't warn you once he hurts you.''

Sam didn't reply, with her and Springtrap waiting in silence in order to see whether the entity had anything else to say. They didn't, with the two feeling that, after their warning, the entity decided to leave the alone. Springtrap then glanced at Sam.

''I had already told you that I don't want to hurt you,'' he said, his ear lowering. ''However, I can't say that they aren't right about me being a bad friend or not quite honest with you.''

''Will, I am aware that there are certain things you hate to talk about. That doesn't mean that you aren't honest with me,'' Sam replied. ''I mean, if I asked you directly about it, would you just shrug it off and lie to me or actually try to explain it the best way you can?''

''Of course I would try to explain it the best way I can,'' Springtrap told her, now a little more confident. However, the confidence crumbled as he felt that whatever he said or did, it just wasn't enough to prove that he was different from his past self. ''Nevertheless, you still have to force an answer out of me and even then, you do it based on an assumption.''

''True…'' Sam muttered. ''Is there something you want to tell me? Don't worry, I won't get angry at you if you wanted to keep it a secret.''

''It is not exactly a secret, but I actually never specified how I discovered remnant. I mean, you, and now Emma, know that I found out about it because of the murders,'' Springtrap explained.

''However, there's more to it, right?'' Sam said. Springtrap nodded.

''Of course, this is also partially speculation on my part, but I do believe that there's some evidence behind my theories,'' he added. ''After all, it was already proven that remnant does tie a soul to a body.''

''Yeah, like with Mike,'' Sam said, only for her expression to darken. ''Or what happened to me.''

''Sam, you died…''

''I don't think I really did die,'' Sam interrupted him. ''I mean, it's not like my heart suddenly stopped beating, else the hospital staff would've been alarmed. I believe that, while my body didn't cease to function, my soul probably did detach itself from it, at least for a brief time.''

''That's where you met my former victims, right?'' Springtrap said, looking rather anxious. His eyes glowed purple. Still, they had left, didn't they. Why would they even want to come back? Unless…

''Considering that they knew I was friends with you and hated you, yeah,'' Sam said. ''However, that's not the issue here.''

''You mentioned that they wanted you to leave and that you refused…'' Springtrap's eyes flared purple as he realized something. ''You had the opportunity to come back, didn't you? However, they wanted you to leave with them, meaning you would've died for good if you had agreed.''

''It seems so,'' Sam said, leaning back against the pillow on her bed. ''While remnant did cause me entering that state, it was also the only thing tying my soul to my body. I mean, imagine a soul as a balloon. The string you're holding is remnant.''

''Still, why would they even tell you to leave? It's not like you were trapped or anything like that,'' Springtrap said.

''I guess that they consider being friends with you a fate worse than death,'' Sam replied, with Springtrap frowned. She gave him a sympathetic look. ''Well, the only experience they had with you was death, while I got introduced to an animatronic who is a dork with some serious psychological issues and haunted by the soul of a broken man and murderer. I got the opportunity to know you, and they're not happy about that.''

''Why would they? I don't deserve any sympathy,'' Springtrap said, glancing at Sam curiously. ''Still, you refuse to give up on me.''

''That's the main reason why I didn't want to leave with them,'' Sam replied. Springtrap felt warmth spreading through his chest, glad to hear that. ''However, that doesn't mean that one of them didn't follow you back.''

''So, you think that that entity we just spoke to and who was tormenting me the whole time was a kid I had murdered before?'' Springtrap asked.

''It would make sense. I mean, who else would hate you so much that they would want continue with the torture, whether you deserved it or not,'' Sam said.

''Believe me, Sam, I did deserve it,'' Springtrap said, then sighed, lowering his head. ''Even if they only had their souls trapped inside the animatronics, I still put them through torture.''

''Yeah, and you payed for that,'' Sam said in a stern tone. Springtrap looked up at her, noticing the determined look on her expression. ''It would've been understandable if your former victims, not even those children, but someone like Henry as well, went after you because you refuse to change, but that is not the case here. You have shown remorse and the desire to at be a better person. It frustrates me that they are still clinging to the idea of a murderer in a bunny costume trying to gain my trust only to kill me in my sleep.''

''The only problem with that is that I nearly killed you while you were asleep,'' Springtrap pointed out bitterly. Sam rolled her eyes, looking irritated.

''It's not like you wanted to do that,'' she said in a dry tone.

''Still, this doesn't excuse my actions,'' Springtrap said as he stood up, walking over to the middle of the room and turning to her. ''When it comes to my past, I knew what I was doing. I knew what I wanted. Other people's lives meant very little to me, even that of my family. There's no way to sugarcoat it.'' He pointed at himself. ''Death was all I ever knew. I told you already that I wanted to kill because it made me feel better, as misery loves company. Only after I had took down that path had I discovered that there's a possibility for me to attain what is practically immortality. So, not only did I take people's lives, I also messed with their souls.'' His eyes flared purple. ''The remnant you're familiar with, it can only be formed when a soul has already attached itself to an animatronic. I don't know whether there's a way to artificially create it, but believe me, I didn't care. Brutal murder was the easiest way to achieve that.''

''You said that you used to be a technician…'' Sam said in a quiet tone. Springtrap lowered his head, with a look of disgust on his expression.

''Let's just say that repairing the animatronics wasn't the only thing I had done. I had figured that I could extract remnant and that I could use it to tie a soul to an animatronic much easier, or maybe even transfer the consciousness from one animatronic to another,'' he said. ''I don't know whether that process hurt them, but considering I had to often operate at higher temperatures so the substance would become malleable, and the fact that remnant breaks when heated excessively, I can only assume that it was agonizing.''

He thought back to the Fazbear Fright fire, as well as the inferno that finally managed to send his soul to Hell. While he could sense the heat chipping pieces of remnant away from him, eventually completely consuming him, he was more focused on finding an exit. He didn't want to part with the mortal realm yet. He looked at Sam, surprised that there was no look of hatred on her expression as he expected it to be. However, she showed no pity either. Instead, she looked just disappointed, not approving his actions.

''You know, if decided to turn up the temperature past the acceptable, you could've freed their souls,'' Sam said, turning to him as she sat on the edge of her bed.

''Which would've made the remnant completely useless,'' Springtrap replied. ''I told you already, people suffer because of my selfish desires, no matter whether I care about them or not. There's no way of escaping it.'' He walked over, crouching in front of her, his eyes glowing in a soft purple. ''Honestly, what I fear the most is that you'd hate me for what I had done, but I had expected that to happen the moment I decided to tell you everything. After all, you said that I need to do something terrible for that to happen, yet despite what I tell you, you never showed any sign that you loathe me. Hell, you even met my former victims who made it clear that if anything, I'm not the person you expect me to be. I have no disregard for human life, having coldly planned their deaths out and carried on with whatever I considered to be beneficial for me. So, why do you insist so much on defending me from others and from myself? Why don't you hate me?''

''William, let me make one thing clear – I had expected you to be much worse than this,'' Sam said.

''What do you mean?'' Springtrap stared at her in surprise.

''Considering everything you told me and everything I knew about you, I expected you to be some kind of predatory madman who lured children away from their families just for the sheer pleasure of taking someone's life. I expected you to be someone who deserves to be tortured for all eternity, someone who would never find any salvation. I expected you to manipulate and murder me the moment I showed any signs of trust towards you. I believed that you would eventually show just how much of a monster you are. You did not,'' Sam said, frowning. ''You were honest with me, you tried to explain to me what you did and why you did that, you told me that you wanted to change, at least a bit. You grew upset when I got hurt, because you were genuinely worried about me and because you cared about me. You showed remorse for what you had done and you tried to atone for it by becoming my friend and making me feel better. Even if I wanted to hate you, I couldn't because you completely failed to show me what a monster you are.''

Springtrap stared at her, shocked, while Sam smiled, looking quite satisfied.

''So, you are left now with two options,'' Sam continued. ''You can either live in fear that I would eventually start to hate you because of what you had done in the past, or you could accept the fact that, while the past will always have an effect on the present, it doesn't mean that it will affect everything. In this case, while it is true that I do believe that you deserved to be thrown into your own personal Hell for what you had done in the past, I don't think that you deserve to suffer so much because you are trying to become a better person.''

''You're so stubborn,'' Springtrap told her, honestly having no idea what else to say. ''Thank you.''

''My pleasure,'' Sam replied, smiling.

''Tsk, even if he failed to show you that he is a monster, he still is one because of what he had done in the past.''

Sam frowned, looking rather annoyed. She stood up, looking around, with Springtrap standing next to her.

''I know that you're right, and assuming that you heard what I said, does it really make you feel better that you're torturing someone who was given a second chance?'' Sam asked. ''Not only that, but, assuming that you were indeed one of William's victims, shouldn't have finally moved on and put your own soul to rest? You and your friends got what you wanted! William's my problem now, not yours!''

''First, yeah,'' the entity replied, sounding quite annoyed. ''Second, he deserves the torture! I don't want you to become his next victim!''

''So, you admit to be one of missing kids?'' Sam asked, a sly smile on her expression. The entity was silent, obviously not wanting to answer the question. ''So, I was right all along.''

''So what if you were?''

''Well, it gives me a better understanding of your motives,'' Sam explained. ''I get it that you don't want more victims, but you chose the wrong way to make that message clear. I mean, you could've warned me instead of tormenting William, and causing him to hallucinate and lash out at me.''

''It still worked,'' the kid said dryly.

''It did not,'' Sam replied in a deadpan tone. ''But, seriously, why don't you leave? You should be free to go. Why are you still here? I mean, isn't being free what you wanted? Rest your own soul and leave the demon to his demons. There's nothing you can do to change this situation.''

''It doesn't matter. I still want to see him suffer.''

Sam then gave Springtrap a sympathetic gaze.

''I don't think you'd get rid of this kid so easily,'' she said.

''I know,'' Springtrap muttered, only to wince when he heard the kid giggle. Even though I escaped Hell, it still followed me.

xXx

Done.

Connor was staring at Quentin's endoskeleton, before reaching for the head and putting it back on the hedgehog animatronic. The animatronic remained dormant, with Connor smiling in satisfaction. He was just done upgrading all of the animatronics, telling the manager that it was just a safety precaution. After all, Ricky's couldn't afford more accidents, could it?

Connor remember how just a day ago, a detective and a police officer showed up to question everyone again about Bella's disappearance. He couldn't really offer them more information other than the fact that when he saw her the last time, she was still standing alone in the rain. After all, they wouldn't understand him if he just told them what really happened.

''But, you and your friends understand me, don't you?'' Connor told Quentin. ''We are not letting more of those accidents happen, are we? Of course, that doesn't mean that we won't get rid off those who don't understand just how lucky they are to be here.''

He then put the battery back into the animatronic, dragging him outside the room and leaving to roam the location. He then closed the door, glancing at the costume on the table. In about half an hour, it would be his turn to roam through the building as Ricky, so he had plenty of time to prepare.

He reached for his pocket, looking at his smartphone and scrolling through the newspaper articles he downloaded. All of them were about Freddy's, but he didn't really have the time to go through all of them. He was actually impatient to finally start the night shift, as he'd be left alone, allowed to finally take his time to proceed with his plans.

xXx

''Do you think we should tell Emma about the effects remnant had on you?'' Springtrap asked Sam. The two were in the kitchen, with Sam having gotten hungry and making herself a sandwich, while Springtrap was leaned against the kitchen counter, his arms crossed.

''You mean the fact that I was in Limbo or the fact that I'm now able to hear spirits?'' Sam replied.

''Preferably, the latter,'' Springtrap said, shuddering. He didn't want to see Emma's reaction concerning the former.

''I think we should keep quiet about it, at least for now,'' Sam said, putting the sandwich into the microwave. ''She will find about it eventually, but it I think it would be better if she finds out about it once everything quiets down.''

''You're right, but I don't think that her reaction will be less bad than it would be if we told her now,'' Springtrap said. ''If you want to tell her about it, feel free to do it,'' Sam said, shrugging.

''I never said that I would,'' Springtrap protested.

''I know. Only a few are brave enough to face my mother's wrath and live to tell the tale,'' Sam said. Springtrap couldn't figure out whether she was teasing him or was completely serious about it.

''To be honest, I have met a lot of parents, but none of them ever managed to intimidate me the way Emma did,'' he said.

''Really, what did they say?'' Sam asked him, taking the sandwich out of the microwave.

''The usual, like, if a kid tripped and scraped their knee, that they would sue the restaurant for negligence – despite the fact that there was a sign that said in huge, bold letters that parents are responsible for their children and that the restaurant isn't liable for whatever happens to them,'' Springtrap explained as they went to the living room. ''Considering that most of them wanted to see the manager, you can imagine that I was the one who had to deal with all those bloody idiots who just pretended that they were worried about their precious snowflakes, but in reality wanted free food or money.''

Sam noted the bitterness in Springtrap's tone. It was more than obvious that he hated dealing with entitled people.

''I hope they didn't win any lawsuits,'' Sam said as they sat down on the couch.

''They didn't, mostly because I made sure that they wouldn't. I kept the footage with me, pointed out that there were more than enough warning signs and that the kid and their parents were at fault for not following the rules,'' Springtrap explained. ''Of course, after Henry and I left and the management set up by Fazbear Entertainment stepped up, things went out of control. While I am responsible for most of it, the new management was also quite incompetent.''

''Yeah, they would just cover up everything rather than investigate,'' Sam added. ''Hopefully, the new Freddy's location will survive.''

''Considering I'm the only murderous animatronic left and I'm more interested in spending time with you, they might,'' Springtrap said. ''Unless they mess something up.''

''Well, I don't have high hopes,'' Sam said, giving him an eager look. ''Anyways, do you have any more stories from when you still worked at the Freddy's franchise before its downfall? I'd like to hear more.''

''Of course I have,'' Springtrap said, relaxing a little. He didn't mind complaining about his former patrons and rest assured, he had met some crazy people during his time as the manager. ''There was this lady who complained about a teenager not wanting to take her order and demanded that he should be fired. The only problem was that the teen didn't work at the restaurant. Not only that, but the lady must've been quite stupid, or blind, since she didn't notice that he wasn't wearing the uniform and nametag typical for the staff. Also, another employee had approached us and said that he tried to get the lady's attention, but instead she went for the teen that was standing right next to him.''

''How can someone be so dumb?'' Sam chuckled.

''Search me,'' Springtrap said. ''She started screeching at me for lying and covering for lazy employees, so I kicked her out. If you want to behave like an entitled idiot, be my guest, but I'm not going to let that happen at my restaurant.''

''Was anyone else with her?'' Sam asked.

''Apparently, her son was with her, but went for the arcades and didn't notice that she was gone until he came searching for her. It seemed that this wasn't the first time that happened, as he didn't show any reaction when he was told why his mother left,'' Springtrap added. ''Another incident that I remember involved a family, with the mother wanting a discount, because, and I quote, 'I know the owner. We're really good friends and he always gives me a discount and a free desert for my family.'.''

''Oh, God, she just had to pull the 'I know the owner' card,'' Sam said, grinning. ''How did this one play out?''

''The employee wasn't sure whether that was true, so she got me to handle the situation. That lady still demanded free food and, when I told her she wouldn't get any, she threatened that I would get fired for being so rude since she knows the owner. You should've seen the faces her family made when I told them that, actually, I was the owner and that I had never seen her before in my life,'' Springtrap said, grinning. ''Apparently, they had no idea that she was lying and actually apologized on her behalf.''

''At least you got a good ending out of that one,'' Sam said, chuckling.

''Unfortunately, this wasn't my only 'I know the owner' story,'' Springtrap said. ''Once I figured that this was happening more often than I thought, I decided to try out different responses. The most memorable was the guy who told us that he knew that the owner's name is Freddy, which I sincerely doubt, unless Henry or I unknowingly changed our names.''

Sam burst out laughing, with Springtrap being glad to see her like this, enjoying their interaction. He was actually interested in telling her more stories, as long as he could keep her happy.

''I'm surprised that you even had the patience to deal with those people,'' Sam said.

''I had to have the patience to deal with them, because Henry wouldn't,'' Springtrap said. ''While he was fine talking to customers, the moment he saw that there would be trouble, he would claim he was busy and let me deal with it. While he would try to make up for it, noting that I was much better with solving such problems, I would still be bitter because of the lack of support. It was getting annoying after a while.''

''I guess that he wasn't really good with confrontation,'' Sam said, shrugging.

''Now that I think about it, he wasn't, but it seems that he grew out of it,'' Springtrap replied, crossing his arms and leaning back on the couch. ''In any case, I could go on forever about what kind of crazy people I had to deal with.''

''Sadly, entitled people will always exist. You'd think that, when reading articles on sites like Reddit, that they are a species of their own, joined by other people like religious nutcases, hardcore conspiracy theorists and anti-vaxxers,'' Sam said. ''Not to mention, they are also good candidates for the Darwin Award. To quote Dr. House: 'Darwin says: let him die'.'' There was a small pause, with her adding, ''He also taught me that it's never lupus.''

''I… guess you're right,'' Springtrap said, looking a little puzzled about the reference. Sam just grinned. ''So, do you have any other plans for today?''

''Well,…'' Sam fidgeted. ''I know that after this experience, it is probably a bad idea to go back, but I really do want to return to Circus Baby's. I'm still not done with that location.''

''I should've expected that you would say that,'' Springtrap said. ''However, I doubt that Emma would allow you to leave just like that.''

''She said that I'd be allowed to go if I didn't show any signs of fatigue, didn't she?''

Sam and Springtrap exchanged questioning looks, not sure about Emma's reaction about their plans. While they hoped for a positive outcome, they had a bad feeling about this.

xXx

''So, how do you feel?'' Emma asked Sam, placing her hand on Sam's forehead. It was evening and Emma had just gotten back from work.

''I'm fine,'' Sam replied. ''You can ask Springtrap if you want.''

''Did anything happen?'' Emma looked at Springtrap, with the latter trying to hide the anxiety he felt.

''No, she didn't show any signs of getting worse. It seems that it was just a fever,'' he said.

''Oh, really? Then, why are you two looking so nervous?'' Emma crossed her arms, glaring at both of them.

''Well, I wanted to ask you if I'm not grounded anymore,'' Sam said, giving Emma a sheepish look. Emma looked at her suspiciously, as if contemplating to extend Sam's punishment. She then smiled.

''No, you aren't grounded anymore,'' she said, with Sam looking relieved.

''Awesome! May I borrow the car?''

''No.''

Sam stared at her mother, stunned.

''Why not?''

''We agreed that you're free to go wherever you want, but I never said anything about borrowing you the car,'' Emma explained, twirling the keychain with the car keys around her finger. ''If you want to go somewhere, you will have to go by foot, use your bicycle or public transport.'' She shook her head. ''Did you really think that I wouldn't figure out where you would go once I lift your punishment?''

Sam bit her lip, knowing that she should've expected that. Springtrap was rather awestruck by Emma's move, realizing that she actually thought this out. By refusing to give Sam the car, she also denied them access to the Machinations Factory and Circus Baby's Entertainment and Rental. It was quite simple, but now they couldn't carry on with their investigation.

''So, is there anything else you need?'' Emma turned to Sam.

''No…'' Sam said in a defeated tone, then went towards the stairs. She understood that her mother meant well and feared that she might get hurt again, but she was still disappointed about it. Springtrap glanced at Emma, who seemed to be upset about Sam's reaction.

''Honestly, I don't want her to leave now,'' Emma told him, a little defensive. ''Maybe later.''

''I understand why you told her that,'' Springtrap said. ''Still, you said that she was free to go, right?''

''Yes…'' Emma looked confused. Springtrap grinned.

''I think I know just the right place that would cheer her up, is quite close and where she certainly wouldn't get herself accidentally hurt,'' he said. Emma gave him a curious look, then sighed.

''I hope you know what you're doing,'' she said.

''I assure you, you don't have worry about this,'' Springtrap said confidently, his eyes glowing purple.

xXx

Connor stared at the cameras, observing the animatronics as they were roaming around. As he approached them, they instantly went after him, believing him to be an intruder, which was exactly what he expected. After all, he was supposed to make Ricky's safer. However, he had made an additional upgrade.

He noticed Dahlia going towards his office, and pulled out an earpiece, putting it in his ear and turning it on. He took a deep breath and opened the door, with Dahlia suddenly turning towards him and reaching for him.

''Stop!'' he commanded, with Dahlia suddenly stopping. She stood in front of him, as if waiting for his next order. Connor grinned. He had programmed them to follow only a few simple orders, but he was quite satisfied with the results.

Not to mention, he figured that his old partner would be proud of his achievements.

Hai!! Im not sure if youre still doing your 1k special match up! But if you are id rlly enjoy being matched up with some!! (Also congrats on 1k!! I dont interact w you alot cause i was told about you thru my friend @luvfy0dor btw love them^^ but CONGRATS!!)

-Im alright with being matched with said BSD character(s) in a romantic way!

-My MBTI is ISTP-T

- Im not a big hobby person im usually just sitting around but i really enjoy making silly crafts (such as Kandi bracelets and animals) i also enjoy mystery, romance, and light horror novels/poems! I play all types of video games varying from roblox, genshin, HSR and variants of horror games.

- I talk about just topics that come to mind; most being BSD theories like especially in the newest chpt. I also enjoy talking about my music taste with others which is also an array of sorts which include; Mitski, Mom Jeans, Lana Del Rey, The Smiths, Deftones, Limp Bizkit, ICP, Korn, Flyleaf, blink-182, The Weekend, Taylor Swift, Slipknot, CA$, Laufey, PTV, Rammstein, Radiohead p, System of a Down and more! I also talk a lot about the games i play (i specifically talk about them with friends.)

- I really like REALLY hate self absorbed people that constantly think that everything is about them and nobody else matters at all in their life, only themself. Betrayal is another big one, it doesn’t matter who it is even if me and said person are very close or distant, being betrayed is quite literally a stab in the back. POPULAR? OPINION, I HATE RANPO AND FITZGERALD🙏 something about them being real self centered gives me a big shiver down my spine. Like I appreciate Fitzgerald and his dedication for his wife and dead kid but he kinda fits in with the “self absorbed” category cause why are you gonna try destroying Yokohama for a page, like i get you wanted your daughter back and all but damn. Obsessive people (in a bad obsessive) for example; being obsessed with a real person to the point if they break apart/dont want to be associated with said person anymore they make and say disgusting/sexual and/or inappropriate things about said person that doesnt want to be associated with other person. People with horrible attitude/personality or people that make racist/sexist/homophobic/transphobic/incest/stepcest jokes, anyone that fits into that category of gross things is an immediate nightmare and a big red waving flag, you wont catch me anywhere near someone like that.

- My personality is pretty complicated, im really introverted but once you get to know me well id say i change to a real chatter box. At times i can be outgoing but its rare, i can be kind but also ‘aggressive’ at times. Im also pretty scattered brain especially when trying to get my point across to someone. Also again, im very passionate when its coming to certain things.

- This was a bit harder to answer cause most things i do are pretty normal but if it’s specified by the people around me im definitely more unique out of friends/family and people from my town. Specifically just my passion for the things i like, id go above and beyond to defend the things i enjoy. Also i have pretty bad health problems for my age but they are def getting better! So i guess that makes me unique too.

- Im perfectly okay with being matched with a character who commits crimes its not really a big deal to me! Id enjoy all the honest opinions 💗

- Something i value in a person is their personality. I feel like most people say personality but its a real big thing i value. I also value someone’s passion for the things they are interested in. I enjoy when people are passionate with doing/talking about the things they do/want to do. I find it charming when people are confident about that sort of thing. When it comes to personality, i dont want someone who has a bad attitude in general where it’s obvious they have bad intentions. Someone that is caring, kind, charming etc is ideal but i wouldnt mind if they had a slight attitude.

- Something i cant stand in others is when they are over confident or (going back to things i dislike) when they are self absorbed. When i say over confident, thats not me saying i hate people being confident cause i dont, i love when people are confident about themselves/things they like etc. but when it gets to the point of someone saying “im better at (insert activity) than you” or talking down on someone about their looks it crosses so many lines. Nobody should feel like they are better than anymore cause everyone is different in many ways than one. Nobody should be insecure cause of something an over confident person said. With self absorbed people, they kinda just irritate me when they are so self centered that they cant even understand basic human decency.

SORRY THIS WAS SO LONG! PLS TAKE UR TIME WHEN MAKING THIS!! AGAIN, HAPPY 1K HAVE AN AMAZING DAY/EVENING/NIGHT!!! 💗💗

((OMG RAY TOLD YOU ABOUT ME??? I AM PASSING AWAY FROM JOY))

the 1k matchup will be around for a LONG time, don't worry. thank you so much for requesting, I tried to finish this as soon as possible but I go through every single bsd character and see how compatible you are with them so it takes a while.

if I'm being for real, I'm your best matchup. I agreed with EVERY SINGLE THING YOU SAID except I can tolerate self-absorbed people more but it really depends. also, everybody thinks I'm introverted except for my close friends who know how much I will YAP about anything I'm interested in. I am SO passionate about certain things and I LOVE when other people talk about something that they're passionate about even if I've never felt that way about it. also, we look for the same things in people. I can skip over almost everything except for their personality but I don't tend to become close with people who don't have at least a few things that they'd defend til death because they love it so much.

however, for a bsd character, I match you with Akutagawa!!! The brother.

Have you seen how he is with Dazai? He practically worships that man. But you, his lover, are the one thing that is above even Dazai. You are the deity that he devotes his heart and soul to. He doesn't care what the topic is, he will give you his full attention and agree with every opinion. He will even try and research the topics that you love just so he can have deeper conversations with you about it. He would definitely watch all the shows you like. He will learn all the songs to all your favourite musicians and spend his rare time off analyzing them. Learning and loving you is a religion and he is the literal Pope of it. If you're in an argument with someone, even if you're wrong, he will listen to your voice instead of literally everybody else in the room. He is your number one fan, and will support you for everything that you do. He loves that you encourage him getting more into his most random interests. It makes his life happier and it's because of you. You're the reason he gets his lungs checked out often and why he's searching to heal them. He must spend as much time on Earth as possible with you. He would not bat an eye even if you asked him to get on his knees and beg for your love. He would fight wars for you, no questions asked. He's mentally ill, and he's so glad you love him despite the blood on his hands and the wretchedness of his mind and morals. He would love taking you to places, and if anyone begins to ruin your experience there, he will not hesitate to silence them unless you tell him not to. He is your guard dog and constantly worries about you when he's not around. You tell him what you're doing and where you're going before you go there so he does not get worried. Often, he apologizes to you for being so overprotective. He doesn't really like horror games that much, but he will play them if it's for you. He might even get a little scared, so expected him to be a little bit jumpy for a while. He hopes you can understand.

AHAHHAHAHAHAHHA I finally finished one of my requests! Thank you so much for putting something in my askbox dear <33

Love Letter for the rarepair of your choice?

Dear Julie,

I like you, do you like me?

Yes No Maybe

Julie looked up as the words on the note registered in her mind. She had never gotten a note like this before, and briefly wondered if it were a joke. Or maybe intended for Julie Whitmore, even if her desk was on the opposite side of the room.

She glanced around, but didn't see anyone looking at her, waiting for her reply, or reaction even. Why had the person not signed the note?

She sighed and shoved the note into her bag, determined to forget it. Only yo pull it out and study it. The handwriting was unfamiliar, written in generic blue ink, so that ruled out half the girls i the room, since they mostly prefered glittery gel pens in every hue of the rainbow. It also ruled out all the people using black pens or pencils, and Julie did a quick scan of the room.

There was David K, who was a major bully and had called her mean names, so shuddered at the thought of him harbouring a crush on her. There was Marianna W, who was super cute with her bouncy ginger ringlets and bright gray eyes, but she was also dating one of the basketball players, so Julie doubted the note was from her.

That left Luke and Reggie, and Julie scoffed at the idea of either of them writing her a love note. They were her best friends, and terrible at hiding who they liked, so if they had a crush on her, either one, she would know about it. Plus their mutual best friend Alex would have told her already, since he quote 'couldn't stand heterosexual pining'.

But then again, they had all teased Alex about his giant pining crush on Willie back before they started dating, so she didn't think he had room to talk.

Plus she knew Luke's writing, given they song wrote together almost every day, and Reggie's from helping her with math homework, so that discounted them both. She crumbled the note back up and put it in her bag once more, determined to pay attention in class.

Only it was like an itch she couldn't quite reach, the need to know who could possibly be crushing on her.

But then she caught sight of someone she hadn't even considered tapping a blue pen against his chin-Nick Danforth Evans. AKA the cutest, sweetest boy in school. Also totally unobtainable, since he and Carrie had been dating since middle school. Even if they broke up every other month, they always managed to get back together. Julie didn't stand a chance with him.

Okay, so maybe she did like Nick, but it was a fantasy kind of crush-like the one you would have on a celebrity, a passing fancy more than real feelings. But if the note was from him, well he deserved an answer at least. She circled Yes nd tossed it on his desk, then hid her face in her hands.

Peering through her fingers she watched as Nick unfolded the note, and the confused little smile that he gave when he saw it.

Which is exactly when the bell chose to ring.

And Nick got up, sauntering over to her desk. "Hi Julie."

"Hi Nickalicious. Nicky poo. The Nickster!" Julie cringed, why was her mouth being so stupid?

"I appreciate the note," Nick said, thankfully not calling attention to how weird she was being. "But I didn't write it to you."

"Oh," Julie said, then gave a fake laugh. "Of course you didn't! I wasn't sure who did, and well, you had a blue pen and..."

"Oh, I borrowed the pen from Kayla," Nick said. "Mine died half way through, and she has so many, it wasn't a problem."

Julie's eyes flew wide open and then danced around the room looking for Kayla.

Gorgeous, talented Kayla who was always nice to everyone. Who came to every Phantoms gig, even if it earned her Carrie's ire. Who loaned Julie history notes when she caught mono earlier the year, and even stayed to help her study for the make up exam. Kayla who Julie had harboured a little bit of feelings for ever since, but didn't want to presume too much. Kayla who was looking at Julie with hopeful eyes right now.

She was standing there, oh so slowly packing up her bag, trying to make it look like she wasn't watching Nick and Julie...and blushing faintly. "I think I need that note back," she said quietly.

Nick chuckled. "Here you go, go get 'er tiger."

Julie smoothed out her clothes, shoved her things into her bag and walked over to Kayla. "I think this is yours," she said, casually handing over the note.

"I saw you toss it at Nick," Kayla said shyly. "I get it if the answer is different when you know I wrote it."

Julie hummed. "No, I think my answer is the same."

Kayla picked up the note and beamed. "Really?"

"Yeah," Julie said, extending her hand. "Maybe we could go get some milkshakes? Talk about it some more?"

"I'm lactose intolerant," Kayla replied apologetically.

"I know a place that does dairy free, we go there a lot because Alex is too."

"Well then, lead the way Molina," Kayla said, taking her hand.

And that night, with Kayla's lipgloss still faint on Julie's mouth, she put the little note in her dream box, and over the years, she had to get a whole separate one for all the little notes Kayla wrote her-right up to the one she used to propose.

Anon watching Love and Redemption here. OMG thank you so much for your incredibly thoughtful response. On the topic of misunderstandings, people get so heated and I was really looking for a more measured perspective so thanks for that. Also, your reply has me HYPE so I wanted to share some of my thoughts (I'm till ep 9 now)- I adore the romance but I also love the space this show gives to friendship. Minyan and Linglong being excited about reuniting w Sifeng and being just as hurt as Xuanji by his aloofness.

Xuanji and Sifeng both saving/protecting each other is just something I'm absolutely loving. Also, the inversion of gender roles- this was something that drew me towards the show, like Xuanji being on a traditional (male)hero's journey . But what you said about Sifeng's lover's curse being about purity/chastity and comparing Linglong and Jiang Cheng has my mind blown! I can't wait to see more tropes being turned upside down, already we had Sifeng defying the notion of all demons being Evil. Lastly, here's some spoilery speculation- Hao Chen definitely strikes as someone with an ulterior motive, he has some connection to Xuanji probably in their past life?

Is Sifeng the star of mosha maybe? I know some spoilers about him being a demon. Don't tell me though!

I see and appreciate you, life is just busy ToT

Okay so I'm not spoiling star of mosha but would LOVE to hear what you think once you find out -3-)/

I'm also curious how you feel about who the villain/s are and how those feelings change as it becomes more obvious who the villains are.

Also Mickey He, who was a hottie in Jade Palace Lock Heart, plays Sifengs sect leader legendary drama queen <3 which is a fun fact

I do love rhe friendships in this show. I feel the whole core friend group cares a lot for each other. If you've ever seen Good Omens, the friendships in that and the way of solving problems with love and desire to help also drew me to Love and Redemption.

Something you'll notice about this show and demons is... demons are used in this a lot like dixingren were used in Guardian. Which is very unlike the usual trope. The more demon situations play out in LaR, the more apparent it becomes they're not actually evil in any particular way, not any more than any human generally is, with some bad leaders just like some Sects have awful leaders, and then well. Extend that realization to the Heavenly Realm. This story does a lot to critique absolute power, following leadership blindly and what it means to figure out morality based on your own experiences and explorations versus just believing what you're told, and it does quite a job of using what you Expect each trope to function as/symbolize/get treated in this type of romance three lives xianxia story to comment on such things. Like. Sifeng is a demon. In this type show, like say Eternal Love, typically the demon is the second love interest who never gets the heroine. Who is inevitably corrupted or evil or pitiful and can never escape ultimately that he Is the demonic lesser "bad" one role. (Love Between Fairy and Devil actually also subverts this trope with the "demon" as the main love interest and hero, but it's definitely not the norm it is the exception and I love when this particular trope is changed like this). To extend this, in Eternal Love the "ultimate" bad guy is the Evil Demon King who wants revenge and to destroy the world. His princess and prince demon children might be better and have good intentions, but as his kids they get an extension of his bad ultimate fate. That can be contrasted to what Sifengs story will turn into later: how much does he bear suffering because humans dislike demons, Heavenly realm dislikes demons, despite whatever Sifeng has actually done (good or bad). In fact which demons even committed the kind of evils they're being punished for in LaR, and does LaR paint it as inevitable and acceptable pain they endure. Or as something that should NOT happen and is morally fucked up (like when Xuanji defends Sifeng and starts realizing how much she's been taught that is actually perpetuating harm and not helping innocents). In LaR when the star of mosha is revealed, the Evil Demon King from Eternal Love parallel, is the star equally painted as evil without a backstory? Is the star evil at all, does LaR paint the star as evil like Eternal Love would, or does LaR do something else with the star? Is it fair to assume just cayse the stars role is "evil demon king" that the star is actually evil, or was that just an assumption audiences were likely to make based on the usual tropes of these shows, an assumption that will be shattered and used differently. (There's so much this show does in terms of trope you expect versus how LaR will actually be using the character, which involves expecting the audience to Expect the usual trope outcome then instead LaR veers in a way different direction).

I absolutely love that Liu Xueyi was cast as Hao Chen. He does such a good fucking job and made me feel a Lot

A (minor) spoiler I am giving you is:

The show ends happy. I just wanted to put that out there because I know one never knows with a show like this

REAL!

it’s so so so cliche but when people say “our bodies are maps of where we’ve been etc etc” my little heart peels itself off of the floor from where it has been slowly decaying in a blistering dessert and does a feeble little jig because it’s just so very!!!!!

like i want to examine every single little part of someone that i’m attracted to in a raw sense

i am not exempt from appreciating aesthetic beauty like bffr david boreanaz as angel will always make me swoon, but just like you said about the cake analogy, a fondant cake you see on insta always feels likes somethings off

it’s so lovely and pretty but you can sense the insides probably gonna be a bit dry and maybe the cake needed that but more vanilla extract and actually do you really want to cut into it? i mean you worked so hard to make it look so so pretty.

and then you pull a slightly undercooked, and yet very over cooked cake from the oven and you slap a bit of icing on it and it’s just so very delightful.

in no way am i trying to feed into the whole “pretty people have no personality” bullshit narrative, but when you idolise this perfectionist beauty and use it as a standard instead of appreciating the natural i feel like you kinda just corrupt the whole meaning of what attractiveness actually is

no yeah exactly!!!! like. yeah. the beauty industry and all it's branches (skincare, cosmetic, diet, fitness, wellness, etc) have just. very much conditioned us 2 think that so many things that are a natural part of humans + what makes us sexy are "problems" that need 2 be fixed and in doing so i feel as though we are being constantly brainwashed 2 think that attraction is like. instagram photos. pinterest boards. like where's the meat where's the blood what here can i actually sink my teeth into....

(also "natural" not 2 be confused w the rhetoric of like. divine feminine/masculine ~~ohh never alter ur body~~ as like. tattooed trans person seeking surgical body alteration lmao. but natural as in like. the way the world leaves its marks on ur body is beautiful and the way ur body shapes itself according to the world is beautiful and the things we are often told are ugly problems that need 2 be solved are often the things that are sexiest abt us. in my humble opinion.)

#in conclusion. 100% agree <3 #ask

HELLO HELLO HELLO SO IM SO SO EXUTED AB THIS AHH SO I WANT TO DO UR 2K EVENT (congrats btw :})

Soo my sun zodiac is scorpio and moon sign aquarius my personality type is ISTP ok so this is a description of my friends bc idk how to describe myself:

"well i mean i like you, but sometimes your quick temper is bad, like ur quick to get angry but overall youre good"

IM GIGGLING THIS IS TRUE BUT I FEEL OFFENDED AT THE SAME TIME

Another description of me

I question my feelings a lot till recently i didnt know if i ever expirienced love because i thought maybe i just keep my friends around for entertainment i also enjoy being in charge of stuff a lot like im always the owner of gc, i always plan stuff when my friends to hang out etc etc i just like being able to make plp respect me. Uhh what else, OH i have this thing in my brain that when i meet someone i decide if i see them above me or under me and tht will impact the way i will act towards them like if i see someone better than me i will be a lit more respectfull and try to please them but if i see them under me i will be a lot more chill like i dont see them as competition. IM SORRY I SOUND LIKE A BAS PERSON. what else what else uhh i have mommy issues and social anxiety idk if tht helps. I also cry a lot like i cry when im mad/frustrated i cry when smth ticks me off i cry at everything for no reason. Uh do i say what i look in a partner? Idk im just gonna put it there but ignore it if u want-i want someone who wont be super calm because i get bored of things easily so if someone is the same calm person i will get bored (speaking from expirience here) thats why i would like someone more spontaneous. Another thing my friend said: "You also love arguments".(i do i love watching plp argue and i love argue myself heheh). Ok i give up i have no ideas i belive in u so do your magic and match me w someone

Thank you love! 🤍🧸 so happy to see you participate. Don’t worry, I appreciate your honesty in describing yourself.

2k Event:

I match you up with Alhaitham, the Scribe.

Now before you say he is the ‘boring’ type, hear me out. He is a full fledged INTJ with loads of knowledge, so I believe he will be the best suited for you. He can plan things but he can also be spontaneous.

He has no problems in letting you take the lead, infact he hates having to lead. Though, he will still ensure that if you require any help you will get it from him.

He takes care of you whenever you have any crying episodes, hugging you snug to him and giving you words of affirmations like, “Even the strongest need to let it out sometimes sweetheart,”

Your quick temper doesn’t matter to him much because he won’t argue with you when you are actually seething with rage. However, his cut throat sarcasm is something to look for! <3

What is Digital Humanities? [Week 1/Introduction]

Writing from:

September 2023

The first week of my MA program (Philosophy, specialization in Digital Humanities)

A particular interest in digital storytelling and the role it plays in our understanding of life's meaning

As an introduction post, it is worthwhile to clarify what the purpose of this is: to fulfill a requirement for a course I have to take for the completion of my degree. That said, I also aim for this to be a resource for myself (and potentially others who might stumble across it) to reflect and recall the way my understanding of Digital Humanities and the issues contained within it has changed, developed, and become more complicated as my familiarity with the discipline and my interaction with others within it increases.

This - like all of the other blog posts for this course - is being posted at the end of my term. As someone who tends to be more tactile than technical, which is perhaps a not ideal tendency for someone interested in Digital Humanities. Nonetheless, that tendency led me to write these reflections in a physical journal and the business of school and the several jobs I have to pay for it led to me putting off actually typing up these posts. But, here we are! Several of my other courses have ended, and I am writing between work hours.

The first week of this course, called 'Issues in Digital Humanities' introduced us to Digital Humanities as a whole as well as to a specific question to help centre the course (and one that I carry with me beyond this single course): What is Digital Humanities?

Through discussion and referral to other sources and ideas of individuals beyond those in the class, it became very clear that even a technical definition of the discipline is hard to achieve in a way that seems faithful to Digital Humanities' aims and methods (which are in themselves hard to define or even determine). This was especially evident in a website that the instructor introduced us to, aptly called What Is Digital Humanities? This site generates responses to that question provided by participants in 'Day of DH' events (a date dedicated to examining the state of digital humanities as relayed by those who do work within the discipline) from 2009 to 2014. These responses range from paragraphs to short sentences, illuminating the expansiveness of just DH's definition, without saying anything about the expansiveness of DH itself. One answer I appreciated that came up in the random generation that I did when encountering the site was one from Daniel Hooper: "The stuff humanities people do when they get a computer."

In the syllabus for the course I am writing this post for, we are encouraged to specifically engage with what we find weird, wonderful, and worrying in each post. In future reflections, I imagine it might be easiest to split the post into three sections, each dedicated to one of these 'W's, but this week I think this central question 'What is Digital Humanities?' is all three in a way that would be diminished by my dividing it into three sections. So, instead, I think I'll highlight one main takeaway I have from this question which is weird, wonderful, and worrying: Digital Humanities seems to be relatively boundless. This is weird, especially from the context of Academia from which I write, as even the shape it takes as a quasi-department in which students can specialize is made up entirely of cross-appointed faculty. DH doesn't (and perhaps can't) stand on its own, which is something I think is wonderful and aptly counters the siloing which occurs in discussions of academic disciplines or expertise, if DH is based on its relation to other topics, whether humanities or technology, then it is interdisciplinary in a way that cannot be ignored like other disciplines might. My worry from this is perhaps much more pragmatic than it is theory/conceptually based, but the problem of legitimacy is one that DH faces off against in a multitude of ways. In DH's tendency to admit its own interdisciplinary expansiveness, I wonder if it risks delegitimizing itself. This is not something I think is inherently concerning, but I do think it is concerning in the context of academia, where things like individual grants and departmental funding pay great mind to the legitimacy of what is being funded, and that funding is essential to the survival of research and disciplines in academic spaces.

Y’know, when people who want Callum to be effeminate and submissive then get mad at canon for “ruining” him by not having him be this way, it really does warm my heart.

Alright so let me break this down into segments even though, it also warms my heart to see someone with so much time on their hand that they wasted their life creating an alt account just to leave this absolutely spiteful piece of a question - instead of using it for much more valuable things 💗 I doubt you will ever even read this and even if you do, comprehend the sheer ignorance of your very line of thinking. However, I have a bad habit of giving people a chance to learn so here is my final answer to you, and to anyone else who also would love to come to me with this mentality. All similar opinions will be blocked and thoroughly ignored so please read up if you unfortunately do feel this way 💗

First of all, here is the definition of effeminate

Frankly, THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS. In fact this is a pretty damn amazing quality and I do not see any problem whatsoever with this attribute. To behave in a non-traditionally masculine way has always been demonized by small-minded and incredibly bigotry people, which your phrasing clearly indicated that you ARE and I will now quote it:

Alright...so are you trying to tell me that along with me portraying him as a man who does not behave in a traditionally masculine way is somehow regarded as "inappropriate" (according to the definition above) AND SUBMISSIVE ? ? ? I think this one should speak for itself about what kind of person you are.

Which I dare you, no I double dare you. Give me an example, of my work, not anyone else, MY WORK, that has ever portrayed Callum as "submissive". Because-

Being affectionate, kind and feeling confident in his skin enough to smile and get comfortable around other isn't submissive

Being able to express his emotions freely and un-restrainedly isn't submissive

Learning how to better protect himself whilst also simultaneously being able to appreciate the beauty of the person who's teaching him isn't submissive

Being able to fight, does magic freely because he's been focusing on it for TWO DAMN YEARS STRAIGHT and CARING FOR ANY OF HIS FRIEND OTHER THAN RAYLA

- ISN'T BEING SUBMISSIVE

AT ALL!!!

it's called being a decent and admirable human being.

All of which, by the way, are all completely normal things for a teenager to be experiencing.

And in addition-

Being obedient to your mentor because you love and respect this person does not = submissive. It's called being a respectful human being.

HOWEVER

Y'know what is submissive? ? ? Let's take a gander at the so-call canon Callum that you o so worship shall we?

Running away from the most important decision of your damn life: not standing ground and fight for your dad's sake till the very end because if you don't try your best now your brother will really be an orphan, instead, opted to run away and not facing the literal assassins whom, later is known to you, to really did killed your dad. (aka submitting to your oppressor and ran away)

Not confronting your oppressors (aka the woman who literally sent assassins to murdered your dad. And no, ONE FUCKING HARMLESS JOKE ABOUT HER EATING HUMAN ISN'T HIM FIGHTING BACK, IT LITERALLY WAS JUST HIM MAKING A JOKE whilst staying submissive and passive to his oppressors the entire season b r u h ) Being submissive to the BOTH systems that both have wronged and robbed from him his family - his dad (aka the human side) made a shitty kingdom ruling choice and in turn his mom died for his kingdom -> aka it's ALSO Harrow's fault. It was then AGAIN harrow's fault to throw away his life and shackling his VERY YOUNG BROTHER to the throne RIGHT AFTER HAVING A FIGHT WITH HIS HIGHEST RANKING OFFICIAL (viren) Him letting this all go just shows a submissive and docile attitude TO THE VERY PEOPLE WHO WRONGED HIM, WHICH IS FUCKED. Being submissive to LETTING SAID OPPRESSOR into your FAMILY'S GRAVE YARD- - - which said oppressor's spouse has mercilessly killed YOUR OWN MOTHER---

Now, i mention this not to spite any raylum lovers because I sincerely believe that romance is subjective, what is romantic to some isn't to others and no one can really bash someone for liking any ships, so I certainly do not say this as something malice:

A compliment isn't = to romantic intent. It CAN be, but we can all objectively see in the case of Callum, he really did just meant it as a friend complimenting another friend. So then is it not submissive to cave to the idea of romance half a day after being surprisingly kissed and then told off in a passively aggressive way to forget about it? ? ?

Is it not then considered "submissive" to surrender to the idea of "if my compliment and admiration to this person isn't love, then there is definitely something wrong with me?" Which is so wrong in so many ways and I think this is important to remember: YOU CAN LIKE SOMEONE WITHOUT HAVING ANY ROMANTIC FEELINGS TOWARDS SAID PERSON.

With all of this being said, you being someone who considers the qualities I portrayed Callum as "submissive" should already say a lot about what kind of person you are, not that I think you will have the mental capacity to understand what is being presented to you, especially if this

is your standard of being "dominant" and "traditionally manly" lol (just using the opposite of your phrasing "effeminate" and "submissive", you know what antonyms are right? 💗) A coward with a sock puppet account and for what? Some idiot like me who portrayed a cartoon boy as dependable, affectionate and is actually a good person? ? ?

Speaks for itself.

I think you might love this show, and you should use that energy to be around people who appreciate and think like you, not spreading hatred and ignorant view point because I never went out of my way to target/harass anyone. I make art and that's pretty much it. I believe people can learn and can change, and I believe there is good in people, so I will always give them a chance. This is pathetic, please do better. If you or someone else reply to this rudely they will be blocked and ignored, however, I'd preferred it if you read, understood and move on.

#ask jamie #hello it's been so long since i've received such a masterful piece of ask #to anyone who finished reading #thank you #about #tdp #callum #no more arguments I am just existing #thanks #sometimes I'd like to remind everyone that this is a cartoon #and they should learn what words they are saying #i'm tired #thanks tumblr #really not a dunk of any ships #just my opinions
